Weird Dream (Starring Grandparents, Lilian Chan, Liss etc.)

It's been quite awhile since I've had weird dreams. In this dream, my dad allowed me to drive the Camry back from Kedah, which should be quite impossible because it is his company's car. The de-mister(is it those line line things lining the backscreen of the car) was on fire and smoke was filling up the car. I sprayed water on it to put it off.

Suddenly, I found myself outside a hotel/club house. I'm not sure which one it is but it has been around for quite awhile. My motive was to interview this famous clown. So famous that the clown was almost celebrity. I had big bouquets of flowers and balloons in my hands but ended up forgetting about the balloons and when I came back for them, it was without air. I had to wait till nearly midnight before that famous clown could come out to meet me. When the clown came out, we acted very weirdly towards each other. Sort of clumsy. sort of shy. The clown's name was Daisy.

Suddenly, the clown is actually Lilian Chan, who is doing her part for charity. Sort of like a Patch Adams kind of concept. We chatted for awhile and I didn't get to ask any clown-interview-esque type of questions but ended up telling her how old I really am.

Then I drove the car back and my dad asked me why I was so late. I told him that I went to my friend's house to play Dota. (Wtf?)

I went downstairs and a few of my family members were congregating there. My cousins, my godmother/aunty susie, grandfather's cousin sister and a few more. My staircase was transformed into a mural of family portraits and amidst the family portraits, was a photo of my grandparents' ash-storage-place at the crematorium. My grandfather's cousin sister saw the photo and broke down. Then suddenly I turned around to look at my godmother and she transformed into my grandmother. My grandmother and all of us were crying and hugging each other and she asked us to take care and be good. Then she asked me to paint my godmother's nails for her. Very strange, because in real life, my godmother is always asking me to paint her nails for special occasions. After that, my grandmother transformed back into my godmother.

The next day, in the Seventeen magazine, a big photo of Lilian Chan and her clown-act stint appeared amidst the pages. She mentioned about me interviewing her. Her birthdate was written extra ordinarily big and next to it, there was a big thought bubble that said, "Guess how old is Jolene? The girl who interviewed her? The first to guess it will win a prize!"

The next thing I knew, I was driving out of a shopping mall with Liss and then I saw my entire family waving at me from the main entrance just as I was descending the parking lot curly-wurly slope(think like the one in One-utama's old wing.). I got out of the car and was so excited to see them. Suddenly we found ourselves in a back alley and we were there as an entourage. A few of my relatives were squatting near the drains in a long line and there was a white van(the type florists use). In the front seat, out stepped both my grandparents. We knew that they were dead but there was no hoo-hah about it. We congregated in that alley to conduct some last rites for them. They were like their usual self, nagging us about our punctuality and .. I don't know, acting their typical selves. The strange thing was not that it did not feel strange to us at all.

The immediate family members were given strange costumes to where. I had to change in front of the relatives and I wasn't wearing a bra .. and I don't know if they saw anything. But the pants they gave us to wear were horrifying. It's like those that babies wear, with a flap on the bum? Yeap, there's a hole, no flap. So my bum was for all to see.

After we performed the rites, my grandparents disappeared.

Then I woke up and my housemates have already left for dinner. It was maggi mee again for me.

Policeman Shouted At Two Girls For Making A Report During Buka Puasa Time

I WAS SO DAMN ANGRY WHEN I READ THIS!!

I was just doing my regular rounds around my friends' blogs and when I read about Jia Min's friend's snatch theft incident at Audree's blog ... I just had to put it out there for all to see!!

It was bad enough that Jia Min's friend, Meow Fong, was dragged on the ground by the snatch thief for quite abit. LUCKILY SHE DIDN'T KNOCK SOME CURB OR SOME ONCOMING VEHICLE OR SOMETHING.

The only rational thing for them to do is for them to go to the police right? Correct.

So they did.

Do you know that the police asked them to go to ANOTHER police station(Brickfield's) to make the report?! Then the POLICE at Brickfield's station "screamed" at the two girls for coming at BUKA PUASA TIME. They asked them to wait for two more hours.

I don't think they had to wait..but the cheek of them!!!

Then because Jia Min's BM was quite fluent, one of the policemen called her in to his office to "interview her". His "questions" were like, "Wah! Awak sangat cantiklah! Ada pak we kah?" and she was also asked to give him her bf's name so that he can 'check up on him'.

NYA MA CHAU CHI BAI SANG CHAI MOU SI FAT HAM KA CHAN HAM KA LING.

What the fuck right? WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Hello?? I thought these Ah Moi teasings only come from the lowest of our social strata(read: Indonesian/Bangla construction workers) but aren't the POLICEMEN supposed to be our HEROES?! AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US AND NOT MAKE US FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?!?!!?!

I've met some nice policemen during the times I've had to go make police reports(car accident, runaway maids, stolen handphones(they said that i should not bother reporting because it's no big deal. This was back in 2000. A HANDPHONE WAS A BIG DEAL.), applying for permission to have big social gatherings etc.)...but this....THIS is too much. LOWEST OF THE LOW.

Aud hopes that someone will write to The Star. JIA MIN YOU SHOULD WRITE TO THE STAR. Bloggers are good propogators. So I'm just sharing this bit of disturbing news with my side of the blogosphere.

Mini Photoblog On Myself In Kedah

Just some random pics from Kedah!

For weeks we've been planning to check out the playground behind our house. Summoning the courage to put our books aside, we walked over to the massive green padang behind our terrace house-hostel.


l-r: Wuan Phing, Xiong Khee, Lie Yuen. (YES, LiE YUEN. My A-Levels classmate!!! I'm so happy that she finally came to AIMST for dentistry even though she came in one month late!)


l-r: Xiong Khee and Me. She's always laughing at me because I like to come out in my towel from the bathroom, cannot wake up in the mornings etc. etc. :(


Camwhoring. Not too good. But you see the houses? They look just like USJ! .. Kedah is not all about rice after all. Honestly, I've not seen an actual padi field. Disappointed.


Perhaps this was supposed to be a padi field, judging from the size of it. This is the padang lor.


A rickety old slate path that has a few dislodged slates that will tip over if you're stepping on the wrong side of it.


Lie Yuen playing sea-saw with me.


l-r: Xiong Khee and Wuan Phing.


Xiong Khee still eating her carrot.


Amazing how the sea-saw doesn't tip much at my end, what with Lie Yuen being 1/3 of my weight.


Fatt hiau. Sorry ar.


On the swings.... didn't take one of myself because Cze Yin's camera died.


I brought my printer up to Kedah and printed coloured photographs from my computer and pasted them all over my study table. Some artistic ones added instead of the normal human beings one. You know all those mo-liu photos that I take of my food before I eat them? They make nice mini photos to jazz up the otherwise boring study table.

By the way, I'm learning CHINESE!! I can speak a little and recognise just abit of chinese characters! A good way would be to try to sms in chinese.

I needed to keep in contact with some of the people from NS and I was planning to cut off all connections with them because I don't know HOW we're gonna keep in touch through sms(phone calls are too expensive, especially when there is nothing much to say)... but fear not, for I am learning.

Below is a message from an Ah Heng from NS. Had to get Cze Yin to translate it for me. HAhaha.


I don't know what he's saying.





Hehehe, see!! I know just a little bit of chinese now. But I think it won't be long before my housemates' patience run out... it's like I have to ask them how to spell every single world and if they're far away I had to shout at them and ask things like, "IS the HaHa word the one with the box on the right and the roof with a line and a box underneath it?"


Then apparently I don't know how write my name one wor..... so I was given some lessons on how to write my name. :(

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!
