You know Asam? No? Ah-SEM?

Cousin Simon took a day off from his 2 and a half months backpacking holiday with his gf to come spend a day with us yesterday. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet his girlfriend Becca who was having 'woman sickness' and wanted to have more of Penang before they head back to Malacca, Singapore and finally UK on Wednesday.

Even though it's only his second time here in Malaysia but we are just too creative as we brought him for dinner @ Yip Kee, Sunway Pyramid(which he has been to) and Bintang Walk(which he has been to too, infact he spent 5 days around that area a month ago). But nevertheless that's what Dad does when there are foreign guests of ours around. My Aunty Jenny, Cousin Hong Fei and Cousin-in-law-to-be Kwee Fong came along too and despite the crowd, we managed to find seats in a Tong Shui(for those who don't know, it's like Dessert) shop.

They have the cutest things on the menu.. for example names like Strawberry Lo or Mango Lo.. Lo in cantonese means Mix. And the best sounding was Mat To Lo.. which means Anything Also Mix.. (derived from the word Mat Tu Tak.. anything also can).
=D Mine came in a mountain of ice covered completely with Sago, Kiwis, Strawberries, Balls of honeydews and mangoes.. mmmmmmm..:)

I love KL at night and would love to walk all over the city with my-future-him one day. :) The atmosphere is just so great. But let's just hope that I won't get mugged? :)
The cooling atmosphere(much thanks to those vapour fans) and the laid back crowd, there's just something so special about nights in KL. I'm not like your normal young person when I think KL, I don't think "OOOOH CLUBBING LA"...I think great food, great crowd, great scene, great shopping, great lifestyle. I'm definitely a city person.

One day I will own an apartment in the heart of the city which overlooks the entire KL Skyline. There'll be no more sexual assaults(i'll be so lucky?) from anonymous hands in the big new year eve crowds @ bb/klcc/sunway when we watch the amazing display of fireworks as we usher in the new year.

The ceiling in my room(in my dream KL apartment) will be made of glass. My roof will be like those of convertible cars? My roof will only be needed when the sun is too warm.:) But it'll be fun too. Let the sun warm my bed all it wants.. my air-condition will be on 24/7 .. a warm bed in a cold room. ?! :) It might just happen one day. So, on a new year's eve in a number of years to come, I'll be lying in the arms of a husband/great boyfriend, watching the fireworks display on our beds and be in awe when some of the sparks fall upon our ceiling. Then the husband/great boyfriend will probably say something corny like, "Shall I catch the falling stars and keep in your pockets, my dear?"..

To which I will reply with a slightly raised eyebrow, "Mmm, which pocket?" and the both of us will laugh knowingly and the curtains and the roof will be drawn close(in case a helicopter comes by).

lol. I just love KL la.

Not that Subang's not great.I like Subang because it's central but as I'm getting older I'm starting to despise the traffic. We only hear fireworks. But maybe now that I've got this extra large porch roof.. I can climb and sit outside to look for the source of the fireworks. But my mum will probably be worried about me falling down and splitting my skull, so scratch that. But it'll be cool wouldn't it? So 3rd Rock From the Sun. Haha:D

Now let me snap back to reality.

Parents went out living brother and I at home as we needed to 'study'. So when I was 'studying', I saw Hsien online and she was like, "yea, and later you got 'tuition' right?" Then I was like, "Fark, oh ya hor.".. Brother and I had a heavy MCd's dinner before heading off to tuition. Now, my house in under renovations and everything's done except the damn gate. After a mind boggling two and a half hours of math @ Mr.Chan's, I drove back(alone. WOW) to a gate-less house. Fortunately my new sensor light is living up to its name and it brightened my path as I drove into the house. Just a couple of months back the lady who stays in front of my house was pushed to the ground when she came out of her car and the thug drove away with her car. I hurried out of the car to give the light a wave(so that it doesn't turn off too fast) with both my arms before running to the grill door and hurried in. My heart was thumping so badly. Adrenaline and all. Not a nice feeling. But glad to report to you guys that I'm safe and sound.:)
 
Now let me finish my tea and go back to some studying.(note the time I'm blogging this).

I'm now having this funny weird chat with Yen Hou on MSN. Let me enlighten you lot:

YH:yes....and tomorrow I got class...I want to skip one day...but cannot find a suitable date..
Me:...
YH:yeah...sometimes I think about why am I whining so much...
YH:life is much mroe challenging..
YH:this is like the easier stages..
Me: it is
Me: there will be a time in life where u'll worry if u'll have enough for your parents' medicals bills and your kids' education fund at the same time.
YH:yup..so I shudnt be whining now!
Me: and the car installments are not done, the house, you have 10 more years of bank loan to pay up to..
Me:and ur wife is expecting a 4th child
YH:ahahha true true.....what have u gotta worry then in the future
YH:?

Me: and i myself battling with breast cancer
Me:and my mum or dad can't stay with me because they're too sick
Me: and i don't have enough money because of the fucking gambler bastard
Me:and my brother must've gotten killed by a car 20 years back which is why he can't take care of my sick parents ...or as he just suggested, "terikut-ikut my gambler husband".
Me:*touch wood*
YH: hahahha ...this is really the worse case scenario
YH:ok cut it out
YH:too gross oredi
Me:my brother who is reading this also touches alot of wood nearby
Me:lol
YH:LOL
Me: what's UR worst scenario?
Me:we'll talk abou the happy ending later;D
YH:dun want to think about it.....tot of it too much the last time.....got depressed felt really like [he inserted a poopoo emoticon here]...
YH:rather think of happy stuff and opportunities

By the way, I just downloaded some songs of the 13 going On 30 soundtrack. And any of you remember the song where they take pictures for that yearbook idea they did or was it the part where Jenna goes to Matt's place on his wedding day?

The title of it is called Vienna and it's by Billy Joel. A damn meaningful song(with a great tune too!)
Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
You are still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you an just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong

But you know you can't always see when you're right
You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook
And disappeaar for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you.

Feel the lyrics? I don't know if I can relate to that.. but it just sounds like me after one too many sex and the cities, chic lit or hollywood chick flicks. I must remember that at 17, we don't have to worry about where to send the kids to college or how you're gonna save for them.. or where will you stay when you're married, or of my future wonderful marriage even.

Perhaps Vienna will wait for me. :)

Death By Acetone

Last night as I was done studying two chapters of my physics(hopefully so).. I took my Crystallic Pink Wet 'n' Wild nail colour and painted my nails in a pretty shade of gold-pink. Pray that I don't look too aunty-ish. Seldom wear pink on my nails. But anyway.

:D I woke up REALLY early this morning, fetched my brother to Summit and had dimsum with my mum AND came back at 10.30am!! Which is fantastic, hence the large amount of time I had on my hand. Procrastinating as always, I opened one of my drawers to find something I've forgotten all about.

My extensive temporary tattoos collection:



Leading to this:

This is my left hand..! I was talking to Esther as I applied the tattoos. Esther, this is why I suddenly stopped talking. Tui ng chi ya..:|


The right hand.:)

Now for the close ups:

 
Lefthand2Finger: This is a flower nail tattoo from my Nail Up magazines..


LefthandThumb: Same flower with the "rights" from "all rights reserved" pasted across it.


Lefthandthirdfinger: Also from another issue of my nail up magazines..It's just some randomly cute circles.:)


Another angle of the randomly cute circles.


Lefthand4thfinger: An Apple for a day keeps the doctor away!
Tattoo from Living Cabins back in 2000.


Righthandthumb: Girly Doodle from Living Cabins, I think it was in 2001.


Righthand2ndfinger: A ribbon from an array of tattoos with a baby theme. Also from living cabins! 2001 also.


Righthand3rdfinger: Baby face, from the same set as above's.


Righthand4thfinger: Anxious Baby Angel also from Living Cabins,2001.


Lefthandlastfinger: somewhat a strawberry.. living cabins, 2001.


righthandlastfinger: Plain flower from nail up magazine!

I'm glad to put it into good use rather than letting them sit in a dark corner in my drawer collecting dusts.

Now I'll go hit the books.

Sorry, Car, Sorry.

I was watching Chun Guan and stranger guy playing Foosball this afternoon at Club7.. and as pityful as I have to say it, but I've never really played Foosball before and was pretty much amazed at the skills they have. No wonder there are people out there who are addicted to the game!

Lunch today was great because there were like 12 of us out. And in the first time in college, I managed to have lunch with Li Peng and Edison. Why are all boyfriends of friends so evil? LoL. Edison kutuk-ed the way I eat because the stupid guy sent the food so late, like 15 minutes before my class(which is didn't end up going..T_T).. he was like, "Jolene!! Why you eat, Cha CHA chA CHOMP!" .. lol, for those uninitiated, Cha Cha Cha refers to me cutting or stabbing my fish, and Chomp is swallow it whole. lol.
I remember a month or so ago, i was pissing Chun Meng(for those who don't know, also a boyfriend of a friend, Abby.) off and then when my chicken rice came, he was amazed to see all the chicken gone leaving the rice behind within 1 minute. He nearly fell of his chair laughing. Bwa..

We decided to skip Physics lab as our teacher was away picking strawberries in Cameron Highlands. Some Taylor's Lecturers' Family Weekend thingie in Cameron Highlands. Haih. Feeling guilty, yes.

Today when we were at Club7, we bumped into Sophia and Carmen. Sophia took a look at poor Barry and started laughing like a mad woman. LOL. Then she was like, "ahahah!! you look like a strawberry! hahahahah!".. =D As much as I'm supposed to be supporting Barry, I can't help giggling at him from behind all the way back to college lol. Sorry Barry. LoL. The poor guy layered his hair too much, and was sick of his long hair, so had it short. He's got jaggered fringe down his forehead.. so imagine la why he's called Strawberry? Hahaha..damn cute. It's because it resembled the leave of a strawberry. Even his mother laughed at the idea when we related it to her later. lol.

Yesterday Justin Liew called me after Su-Chien directed him to me as he needed some people for some coffeebean and starbucks survey. I couldn't really understand what he was saying, so he got the friend of his who was conducting the survey to call me. She asked me some questions like when i was born and where do I study and if I could go on the 13th or 14th of aug to some coffeebean/starbucks outlet to do the survey. Apparently they pay RM100 to each person for the surveY??(didn't know that till later). But half way as I was answering the questions, my dad asked, "who's that?!".. so i had to put the poor woman on hold and answered my dad's questions that came equipped with shooting-daggers-eyes. And he was like, "Don't simply give people information~! Don't you know it's dangerous?? WHo Is she??! Where is she from?!!" .. then I just couldn't find the words to explain as I didn't even know all that. Then I told the woman that I'm sorry and I can't come. Then my dad gave me that look that I hate so much .. like I'm such a bad daughter for defying him. Hello? Did I even defy you? "You never read about these things wan ar?" he asked accusingly. Okay fine, it may be a dangerous thing at the worst..but I just can't stand it when he scolds me like that. I felt so lazy to answer him or respond to him last night.
In a week I've gotten in abit of a rift with him.. like me back late, me buying dvds in public and me doing random surveys thru telephones.
But it's been so long since my dad's pissed at me? Times that were are like when I was in late primary/early secondary for the damn internet bills.

At least I've been a good daughter. I don't fight back.. unlike my brother. Coz I know hell will break loose if I do. My dad's alright really. But he has got this piercing way when he talks to me if I'm not doing something right.

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.


Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
