Wake Me Up When September Ends

Urghhh... after all the urging and blowing, I thought I am finally going to update this blog on last weekend. But I didn't. Why? Well, last Saturday I went to climb Mount Tabur, East side with the guys (Mohan, WaiKiat, YewWing, SuMay[is that how it is spelled?], KaiLiang & his wife Grace[huhu], AhPat[don't remember his name but that's how WK&YW call him haha], AhPat's friendsX2 and Jay & his brother[our guide woohooo!] and 1 more guy[also forgot his name]). 

Woke up at 5.45am. I'd set my alarm to 5.00am. but I only wake up after 45minutes :-P. Feel like a zombie 'cause I slept like for 4 hours+ only. =_= But I'm better than Mohan. He is supposed to fetch me at 6.15am. and reach KaiLiang's place at 6.20am. Guess what? At 6.10am Mohan called me and ask what time he should reach my house. I was like, "Yeah, you should reach here like, well, NOW???" OK, don't matter. Then he asks me what he should bring and ask me whether I can borrow my shoe to him. Nicely done, lad, nicely done.

Reach KaiLiang's place at 7am. My gosh luckily KaiLiang doesn't have a temper or else I would have been chopped by him. Which if it happen I will promptly push the responsibility to Mohan haha! OK, after 20 minutes we reach our meeting point, which is YewWing's house. Fast forwardX2 and we reach Bukit Tabur West side! Woohooo!!!

Honestly, this mountain route is neither as fun nor challenging than the East side. Well I don't mind climbing West partly because I haven't been here before... Next time go East side lah. This route also annoyed me a lot because the path is full of sharp rocks (painful to the feet ohhhhh...), there is too many sector that can only be cleared one person at a time. What that means is it will involve a lot of waiting and "traffic jam". What with the other group of climbers catching us from behind. It's because of the waiting that eventually make this expedition a 5 hour long expedition. 5 hour!!! X-S 

5 hour is a long time and when you got to go, you got to go. Which I did... (silence) Erm, OK! After we climb back down, we decided to have lunch at McD Melati. In which I think to myself, all the calories I burnt in 5 hour long expedition I gained back in just 30 minutes trip to McD X-D.

When I reached home it's already 2pm. Guitar class? Nah forget it. Too tired to do anything, but online. Online online online for 3 hours, take a bath and decided to sleep a while. Now this is where things get interesting! Apparently I forgot to set my alarm and when I woke up, its 1am. Yeah, 1am. =_= Urghhhh... went to my regular mamak for late dinner walking like a zombie. It's 2am. Everyone's sleeping. Nobody online to chat with. Not sleepy enough for another go. Heck, decided to play ICO till 7am and sleep back until 1pm. Hell yeah! Now that's a good weekend spent yeah?!

P/S: Will update pictures if I managed to get hold on it.

Update: Apparently AhPat's real name is BanChai but I'm still going to call him AhPat X-D and "1 more guy" is called AhYaw.

Savin' Me

Yesterday the guys & me went to watch Hancock. It's quite an eventful day because tomorrow Raymond will be leaving for Sabah to start his new semester and Mohan just came back from Russia for holiday. Seems like they are passing the baton, one leave and another one come in haha. Anyway Raymond will be back again this November for yet another semester break; so look forward to it. The movie will start at 10.30pm but I went there early around 9pm because I need to buy present for Ashley. Yeah my bad because her birthday over already but I still haven't buy her a present X-D

To my dismay I couldn't find a Nike shop in Times Square! Wasted my time and energy -_-". Well that tells a lot eh? Nike is such a famous brand but yet they have no shop in Times Square, which is self-proclaimed largest shopping mall in Boleh-land until along came QueensBay Mall in Penang. Anyway, gave up my search for present and went to Starbuck instead. Yes yes I worked for Coffee Bean but it is so near to the cinema. No point go all the way to Sungei Wang just to have a coffee. There I met with Raymond & Mohan. After so long haven't see Mohan, he look ........ (in search of better word) ......... erm, moving on!

Then suddenly Mohan ask me whether I brought a camera along and I was like, "Dude, it's just a movie outing! Why on Earth do you want to bring a camera along?" "Well, why not?" He replied. "I'm a camera whore mah!" Ohkaaaaaaay... although I'll happily admit that I'm a shutterbug but I ain't no camera whore. So since whore usually reserved for female does that means Mohan is actually a transgender? If he's not, should we call him camera man-whore or camera gigolo? I rest the case on you... After constant begging and fist-shoving, I'd finally agreed to use my camera phone to snap some pictures of us... in public... self-captured...


1) Mohan making stupid face. Wait, his face IS stupid. 2) Nice job putting me in the middle. 3) GYAHHHHHH!!!

After clocking in near 10.30pm, the guys finally arrived. Bought some drinks, popcorn blablabla and in we go! To be honest, Hancock is a good movie, albeit a little too short. The show spanned around 1 & 1/2 hour, the first part was OK but after reaching the half hour mark everything seems to be rushed. You will feel like the movie is trying to finish as soon as possible. However, you will be leaving the cinema laughing.

After the movie we went to have a drink at mamak in Pandan Jaya. Heed this warning: if you ever have a chance to sit in a car driven by Mohan, you better be sure that:
1) You were sitting behind in the passenger seat.
2) Fasten your seatbelt if you sit in front.
3) Confiscate his handphone. (He treasure his call more than his life)
4) You better have bought a life insurance.
5) Pray to the God you worship that the journey end as soon as possible.

Why I'm giving you all of this warning? Well let's just say that I have cheated Death, twice. Anyway we talk rubbish until 2.00 a.m. and go home sleep. That is all.
