"Okay, must write about some dudes’ Malay poems.. lolz. it cant be that hard. I can crap in malay what?"
**turns on laptop and opens microsoft words**
"So, starting up with the intro.. Dumb naveen starts with the points first and then ending up dunno how to write the intro and the conclusion.. lolz (if you’re reading this, nav, sorry man. its those things inside my head that starts popping up stuff uncontrollably) .. alright, how do i start an essay again.. Usually i use ‘undeniably’ to start it with.. Hm.." 
**starts drafting down**
"Undeniably, the work of literature has become one of the most unique form of communication in history…"
**stares at the first sentence**
"ehh… sounds a bit awkward but.. who cares la"
**look back at first sentence**
"oh ya horr.. have to write in Malay.. so.. can just translate this sentence into Malay oso la. No biggie.. so how does it go?? Hmm.. Tak dapat… ‘undeniably’?… um… tak dapat di.. deny.. kan.. what’s deny in BM anyway.. Tak dapat dinafikan lagi yang… no.. bahawa… uh… literature in BM is what pulak la… uh… kesenian berbahasa merupakan satu elemen komunikasi yang unik.. di dunia.. i cant really say ‘di dunia’.. thats far too sweeping. Um.. stop until ‘unik’ and maybe i should add…"
**blank moment**
"uh…."
**read back sentence and start typing more random stuff**
"dan bagi budaya Malaysia, berpantun merupakan.. wait, am i going to go repeating myself.. dan bagi budaya malaysia, penggunaan pantun dan sajak adalah… inevitable.. inevitable… tak dapat dinafikan lagi.. tak dapat dielakkan lagi kekerapannya. yep, sound so scientific! Whoo! So far so good.."
**pauses awhile**
"Pantun, yakni… uh.."
**another paused moment**
"have to look for the definition of pantun. Cant simply just start it off bluntly like that"
**leaves blank**
"pantun, yakni something something, dan sajak, something something, seringkali digunakan dalam upacara pertunangan, debat formal dan tidak formal serta pemulaan dan penutupan bicara. Malah, tidak terlanjur jika diungkap bahawa.. literature.. oh ya! literature is sastera!! bahawa karya kesusasteraan seperti pantun dan sajak.. is a topic worth studying.. hmm.. how exactly do you say that in BM.. let’s try.. wajar dititikberat dalam aspek penganalisaannya, secara profesional mahupun di bangku sekolah.."
**pauses and feeling proud of ownself**
"Let’s just go straight to the point.. uh… Oleh yang demikian, karangan ini akan membincangkan.. hmm…"
**sudden douschy smile**
"mendiskusikan.. lolz.. mendiskusi.. harharhar.. ha… mendiskusikan.. eh wait, i’m supposed to compare and contrast two poem right? Maybe not that good to simply write it as ‘discussing’ two poems when i’m going to compare.. Hmm… karangan ini akan mem… mem.. men.. mengbandingkan.. menbandingkan… membandingkan.. Yes! Membandingkan dan.. uh.. mengontrakdiksikan (???) dua hasil karya penulis terkenal…"
**blank pause**
"Hmm.. havent really found an antology of Malaysian poems yet.. Cant finish yet the assignment la then.. oh well, at least i finish the introduction.."
**reads back the entire introduction paragraph**
"Dayum!! I’m good! lolz.. ok, can sleep ardy.. WEEEEE XD"

**END OF RECORDING**

Delaqroux inc Updates!! All this while, i’ve been showered with the question whether am i a chinese or a malay (never yet an indian though. lolz) based on my look. Well, schockingly, i even asked myself the very same question once in awhile. Truth is; i’m not even sure myself! Wottatwist!!! (What a twist!!) But, allow me to provide you a sample case in which my Chinese side was worn as my skin and you do the judging.

Just a few days back, i received this coupon from DiGi in which entitled me to get a 109 bucks tshirt from Pull and Bear for mutha-effing FOC!!! the problem is that i can only redeem the coupon in Pavilion, a mall which is in one helluva distance from my college and its the kind of mall in which only designed for people with big bucks ready 24/7 in their pocket.

Hey, its just in the mindset! Before i even realize it.. YATTA!! HAROO PAVIRRION!! (Hiro Nakamura style) Yep, so i got there, looked around for the Pull and Bear shop, found it, only to find that they are out of stock of the tshirt! But, fear not, the second stock will be coming soon (at least, that is what they convinced me; "soon"). The lady at the counter was super nice and she asked me whther if i mind waiting. Told her that i dont and she suggested that i write down my name and phone number and once the shipment’s in, she’ll call me right away. Surprised with such un-Malaysian friendliness, i agreed.

So, the "soon" was actually two hours. To add up in the pain, i didnot had any lunch earlier (thanks to my kiasu mentality that if i dont hurry for the redemption, the tshirt will go out of stock) and well, with only 15 bucks in my wallet, i doubt i can go far food-wise in Pavilion. After one and a half hour, i gave in to hunger. Where’s the friggin ATM machine!!?? Well, the directory wasnot much of help. Of course the ATM machine is on the map directory but it was super small for anyone to even notice that it is there. Finally, right infront of an ATM machine, Pull and Bear called. Shipments here; RUN, DARKIE, RUN!!!!… AND WE HAVE OUR WINNER!! WHOOOOO!!! RM109 TSHIRT IN DA BAAAAAG!!!!

So, ladies and gentlemen, what drives me? Determination or kiasuness… Hmm… or Shell Helix maybe? lolz

side story: while i was beyond bliss to get my first tshirt that cost higher than 30 bucks, i heard someone saying something like "Dude, you can have all of mine back at home. it’s just hundred bucks"…

p/s: for Mix.epicfu readers, "kiasu" is an adjective, normally referred to a Chinese in which they will go all-out (maybe even beyond all-out) to earn something. You wanna make it a noun, just add -ness and there you go; kiasuness. lolz.

Delaqroux Inc. Updates!

Damn, it has been awhile, huh? Well, by the time i’m writing this blog, the March holidays is fast closing to an end. But, no, i’m not goin to go all emo out here about college reopening and stuff. Imma talk about my 2k8 Penang Island Trip!! Whooooo!!!

Okay, so i spend my last hols in Adam’s house (again) in Nibong Tebal. Well, yyyyeaaahh… nothing much in Nibong Tebal except the fact that DAP took over the turf which was originally in BN’s position. It’s all Malaysian political election stuff.. well, no concern of mine. Anyways, one thing that i entirely look forward to throughout my stay in penang will obviously the trip to the Island. It’s like Bangsar on ice.. i mean.. ocean! How cool can it be.

This time around, however, we managed to get Christyna to drive us a lil bit further in her car (on my last visit, she only drove us to Auto-City- we got ourselves to the island via the ferry). And joining us was Jac, another one of Adam’s friend who is currently studying in this secluded college in Island.. and i thought our dorm is the closest with nature, her dorm have nature all over.. creepy. Anyway, Jac’s a cheerful lady, 2 years younger than me and.. yep, 2 years younger than me. Uh.. i dunno whether i should be adding this specs here but apparently, the guys seem to enjoy making fun of her height. Ok ok, she is shorter than me.. so.. uh.. i dont make fun of her height.. that much.. Gosh.. i’m so cruel..

But, it seems like i wont be spending much time with both of them as they have a wedding to attend to. So what we did was chilling out in the movies watching Vantage Point (cool movie, love the backtracking plus ATE feature, but if only Adam and Alex can keep their mouth shut during the movie). After a short lunch, Jac and Christyna had to go and that leaves the 4 of us.. and we ended up watching a movie.. again.. To tell you the truth, if there is one thing nice about going to a foreign place, is moving around- not stuffing ourselves in a friggin cineplex! Gosh! ANd the 10000 bc sucked big time. Total Apocalypto rip-off with flashier CG, minus the gore and overstuffed with Samurai-ish lines.. DogH!!

After the movie (finally) ended, we rendezvous with Jac and Christyna after a lil walk around the beach (nice walk, except the tide was down and there was hardly any water T__T). Thanks to some random Korean noodle stuff i ate for lunch, i didnt feel that hungry so i just skipped dinner and chatted for hours. I did notice that Christyna was about to doze off while we chat and i tried hinting Adam to start leaving the place but i only succeeded after 3 hours. lolz. It was getting damn late and Christyna, our driver, is ardy halfway to hibernation.. Not good…

Well, in someway, i’m still alive here. This brings the message that all of us survived the drive. Well, imagine a car full of dudes and one lady driving, the lady driver is pinching and slapping herself to stay awake and the guys tried to make non-stop noises to chase away any lullabying sounds in the air… God, i feel really sorry for Christyna for keeping her awake.. Well, if she is reading this, sorry so so much, Christyna TT___TT

p/s: its still funny to see you hitting yourself though.. :p

I think you never really realized,

But the wall seems closing in,

The day that’s shining seem just died,

And I feel the chill running in.

I never really feel quite right,

And I hate the fact,

That I don’t know what went on,

Because it was when you’re out of my sight,

And you caller tone went dead,

Something tells me something’s wrong,

Just please don’t leave me,

Just be here with me,

Stay longer and I’ll show you what I can be,

But, baby, baby please,

Just promise me,

Don’t ever break me,

My heart can’t take more agony.

You know that I have realized,

That emptiness is filling around me,

Let me look into your eyes

And tell me,

“there’s nothing for you to see”

Tell me, “there’s no secrets”

Tell me the truth, please, coz it hurts

Just say that you’ll stay with me

Even for another minute

For without you my life is empty.

So baby I beg you,

Please don’t leave me,

Be here with me,

Stay here and I’ll prove it, baby,

I wont break you,

And that I promise you,

I’ll stay and do anything just for you,

I’ll be with you

And I’ll will show you

How much that I love you…

Delaqroux Inc. Updates. Hmm.. somehow it seems like i’m getting further and further away from blogging these days. Good sign of gettig back life? Or simply a bad sign of not being able to express one self? Hmm.. you do the thinking, i’ll do the updating. Ok?

Good.

Spending time during the hols, if there is one thing that i wont not do (note the reverse negative word-function effect) is chatting. Yet again, just now my friend asked me a question that i did not require much of thinking.. In fact the answer is with me all along. Nah, cant tell you the question here; it’s a lil wee too controversial. Anyways, i gave a lie for an answer. Not quite a lie as well, more to like a no-answer answer. Unfortunately, damn, i feel crappy afterwards..

So, a follow up to that are questions in my head; what am i expecting? More questions to make me spit out the truth? A satisfactory answer of agreeing to what i have just said? Or a silence to show agreement, although my friend know that i meant the opposite? Gosh, i dunno. One thing for sure. Lying to your other people is not good. Convincing people that you are okay when you’re not is worse. And, lying to yourself that you are okay is even more punishing..

Yep, this is emo and yep, this sucks.. like they said, you should face the music. But does it mean that you have to endure it even if it’s a shrill painful silent one? Maybe i should start facing the truth? Or should i go against the truth and bend things to my own will?

Apparently, a recent study have shown that while drinking coffee can make you happy (due to the level of mild drug-like caffeine contained within the coffee beans themselves), it is also possible that excessive level of caffeine in blood vessel may neutralize a particular growth hormone, resulting to normal aging and cognitive development, yet a slower or no particular physical expansion. This research was first introduced to me by Saw Nancie and my own individual studies confirmed its relevance.

Holy f@#$ing s*&%!!!

Ahem, anyways, just yesterday, i went around in Russia… i mean Time Square and guess what i did.. or rather; what i almost did? I went into Starbucks in Borders! Okay, so it might not be so special for you all out there aka you rich brats out there! But for me, i’m an anti-Starbucks guy! Seriously, coffee is actually happiness given by God for mankind. So, why charge happiness for ten freakin’ bucks!? Does Santa Claus charge parents for giving presents to their kids every Christmas!? Did Jesus charge the people for getting himself crucified!? Did Prophet Muhammad charge his people to save them from enslavement!? Freakin NO!! So why Starbucks charge customers for their coffee!? I tell you why; Starbucks is the Satan in disguise! That’s why!

In any case, back to the story, i went inside starbucks coz Reva did treated me to a coffee from Starbucks a day back. Was thinking that maybe i should get something for her in return. Come on, Reva treated people for Starbucks so many times, so, it cant be that expensive can it…? Hell yeah, Darkie, that freakin Java Chocolate Chip Cofee or whatever it is; is 15 bucks dammit! It was my turn at the queue and the counter guy asked for my order. So, it was an awkward silent for five minutes and i turned out saying something like, "Uh.. actually i’m just ordering for my friend who will be coming in a short while. She havent messaged me on what she would like me to order so yeah.. turned out to be my turn and i think, i will be waiting for her before i order something she might not want.. i mean, she like the Java one but she might wanna order something else this time… so… yyyyeeeaaahh… i’ll pass for now ok?" **runs away**

I hate you Starbucks! Damnation be upon thy outlets…
