Hilang!

Oh-my-gawd I've been missing for quite a while haven't I?

Blame it on work (slave, underpaid, having to deal with bitchy people). Blame it on P1 Wimax which SUCKS ASS MONKEY BALLS. Blame on time because it's always running away from me.

Or you can just blame me cause I'm not that good in managing my time. After work I just want to sleep. Or play Sorority Life which I'm addicted to (no shit, I've actually refused to go to Zouk a few times because I wanted to stay at Starbucks and fight other bitches!!)

So yeah, Miss Independent here (che-wah!) is just too busy with work to do anything else (except for the addictive game mentioned above).

But I'll be back soon with more stories and bitchings, cause you have no idea what kind of people I get to meet on the job. And I don't mean it in a good way.

Cakap cakap rojak

I've met a handful of people in KL who have lived in Malaysia THEIR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE but have this really weird accent when they speak English, it's like a mix of Australian - American pronunciation, which also happens to change when they speak to other people who happen to come from western countries.

Hmmm.

What a bunch of losers, haha.

Kena tangkap

I hate biatches who can't dance, who swing their arms to and fro as if they were monkeys jumping from tree to tree, biatches who insist on waving their lighted cigs on the dance floor, and people who walk across the dance floor because they think it's the damn short cut. THIS IS NOT A PAVEMENT!

And I really don't like your ass abusing my back (or legs if you're too short).

back off, bitch!!

Campur campur

I've decided apart from doing toilet reviews, I'm also going to write about places which are nice to go to - be it food joints or boutiques or whatever, as long as the waiters/employees are friendly and polite, I'm gonna write about them. Why? Because I'm very anal about service and I think GOOD service is a rarity in KL.

Jack's Place in One Utama is a restaurant which specializes in seafood - apparently they're from Singapore - and I was there about a month ago. The manager greeted us and when I said I wanted to sit outside, he was nice enough to tell me that it's hot, haha. The waiters were attentive, we didn't have to wait long for our food, and they were polite, like they'd address you as 'Sir' or 'Madam', and they understood what a serviette was (*coughs*Delicious Midvalley*coughs*). I think it's a nice place to go to cause you can order something simple like soup or salad if you don't feel like eating something heavy, and they'd not roll their eyes or something, like some places you go to, they kinda tend to give you attitude when you don't order a proper meal, knowwatImean?

Anyway. Another place with friendly workers is Sheela's Beauty Center, in Bangsar. That's where I go to for threading. It's on the first floor between the money changer and AM Bank. Do NOT go to the threading place further down after the money changer cause they're pretty unfriendly. Sheela's, on the other hand, is polite, charges only RM8 for eyebrows and upper lip threading, and they do a lot of things from henna to facials (I've done a brazillian, threading and a facial there).

Now a toilet review.

Cineleisure - so far I've been only going to the loos on the first floor, where Scarlet is. I don't really like it cause it's damn stuffy, there aren't a lot of cubicles, and if you're there at night, you're always surrounded by drunk girls who are puking their guts out cause they can't hold their drinks very well. Mistake! Go to the loos in the basement, where the eateries are. It's way bigger and there aren't a lot of people there, so it's fairly clean. Remember to get the toilet paper (free) at the entrance though.

Mischa dah gila

Does Mischa Barton think she's a shaman or a bird? Or both? Or did she take the phrase 'to go au naturel' a few steps (more like a million steps tbqh) too far?

She looks like a fucking drugged up bag lady, yo.

Masa lama

Remember when we first got the internet? For me it was 1996, which marked my days as an internet addict until about what, 2000? Remember mIRC? ICQ? The countless email addresses we had? Like the ones you can sign up for a witty domain name like @bradpittlovesme.com or something. I think I had about 5 or 6 of those. I was also an IRC geek. I got to know a few people there whom I'm still friends with til now. And damn those IRC fights! Damn syiok man.

Now the internet is so normal. We can't seem to live without it (no facebook?? no twitter?? omfgwtfbbq!! die!!) but really, 13 years ago, we did. Funny.

Tandas

Wah the tandas at Zeta Bar has hot chicks above the sinks. Or was it the urinal bowls?

Anyway I know not because I sneaked in and made out with someone, neither am I secretly a man, but because Mike took a picture.

I'll post it here when I can curi it from him. And yes I assume the loos are immaculately clean. Even if it isn't, which man would care right? They'd probably end up kissing the wall anyway if they're drunk or desperate enough.

Hingus

I sneezed a lot today. Drank hot green tea and hot water.

I'm sitting here with a tissue stuffed up my nose.

Attractive, no?

Anjing memancing

Imagine this scenario:

You're a guest at someone's house. That person has told you beforehand that she has a dog and that dog runs around the house freely because she doesn't cage it up. You still appear at her place, yet you tell her you're not okay with dogs and expect her to keep it away from you.

Do you think that's okay?

Sudah tua? atau malas?

Gone are the days of having late nights 6 out of 7 days of the week. Gone are the days of clubbing at least 3 nights a week. There are no more 3 hours of sleep. The last time I went out still intoxicated from drinks the night before was in December, when I went for the walkathon right after getting drunk at Zouk.

Now I am your average next door auntie. Yes, I still go to Zouk every weekend (that's cause I'm a member - I hate paying for cover) but from 3 nights down to 1 night a week? Woah. Last time not even getting my neck pierced 2 hours before would stop me from dancing underneath the disco balls. Fast forward to the present, and you see me refusing to go for Lapsap because of a cold. I went to bed at 00:30. I can't stand not having at least 6 hours of sleep, and still I get cranky if I don't get 8 hours.

Haih. Maybe it's like, my body needs a break for 2 months. And party on for 4. And go on a sabbatical again. Repeat.

Inspirasi! Motivasi!

I've been through days, wait make it WEEKS of being emofied and gloomy. Everything seems mundane and unexciting, days and nights waste by in a haze of disinterest and tired movements. Sounds familiar?

It's slowly changing now that I have a job where I learn new things and meet new people. I'm getting more motivated as work piles up - work and pressure, but that's what life is about right?

Recently I came across this link which I wish to share here, because well, it might be useful for anyone who's currently unmotivated and gloomy like I was before. This article shows you how to be happy for FREE. No alcohol, no drugs, no prostitutes, haha. You know those self-help books? It's something like that except it's shorter than a book and you don't have to go to MPH or Borders to read it. Joke.

For real though, it's all about gratitude, which I hardly ever think about unless I lose something, and when I find it I'll be all like, Thank God! But I never really contemplate about the smaller, more significant things. Like my friends here in KL. Even though I'm all alone (family-less), I have friends who are here for me when I'm sad or feel lonely. I'm thankful for the people who have dinner with me, who I can shisha with at Hartamas. Time isn't something you can take for granted, ya know? I'm grateful for my job and my friendly colleagues. For the food I eat every day. For the friendly people at Coffee Bean.

Ah. Me being happy and shit is quite different from me bitching about things. Stinky said I hate 70% of things around me. That's not true dude. You just happen to ask me about stuff I dislike, you never ask about stuff I like!

More kencings

I've thought of more reviews while waiting for a very slow website to load (I can't work like this!! The necessary sites go on a damn turtle-like pace!)

Bangsar Village 2: Very good.

The Gardens (same floor as Yogitree and Energy): Very good.

Hartamas Square: Cleanliness is average. There's no loo paper in both the squatting and sitting stalls. Expect the floors to be wet because somehow people who go there like to splash water around. The doors are kinda flimsy too haha.

Plaza Mont Kiara: Old but clean loos. Toilet paper's there but sometimes they run out.

Kencings

Today I decided that my blog will have a special section which is called Kencings. Or Beraks. Whichever you like lah. I'm going to write about public toilets I've set my feet in / sat my ass on in Malaysia (mostly KL).

My first review is on the loos at Tropicana City Mall. If you don't know where that is - which won't be surprising because it's very new and empty - it's the half-finished building opposite Desa Kiara Condo on the LDP.

I give two thumbs up for this tandas. It's very clean and neutral-smelling, and there are toilet papers in the stalls. Once you've washed your hands with soap and water (well I bloody hope you do), you can choose between paper towels or the automatic hand dryer to dry your hands.

Things may change a few months down the line if the mall becomes more popular and more people go there. But we'll see and I shall be writing about it if it worsens!

Aku tak suka, aku suka

Do you want to go to a place where it's worth your money? Okay fine, who doesn't. Recently I was kinda forced to go to a Greek/Mediterranean place in KL and it BOMBED so bad that I congratulated myself on not throwing a public tantrum. Service: Shit. Food: Fucking awful (everything tasted Indian. And not the good kind of Indian). Ambiance/Setting: The fucking aircond from above was leaking on my face the whole time.

I can name places which are cheaper, or at least in the same price range and so much more better than the above mentioned. One of them issss

Ole Ole Bali restaurant at Solaris Mont Kiara!

(oh please take note that I'm not a foodie or a food critic, hell I don't even bother memorizing different pasta types. I just like to eat.)

Okay this place, the decoration and interior are fantastic. You have benches outside, raised platforms to sit on inside, and the normal tables and chairs. Everything's just sooooo comfy, I swear I feel like sleeping when I'm outside on the bench. Food wise, well I've never been to Bali but I think it's tasty. I love the barley lime drink too. Service is a bit slow but at least they're polite.

Most people would add tons and tons of pictures after a conventional restaurant/food review but FARK THAT. I don't feel like using a stupid DSLR to take pictures during lunch time, neither do I want to feel like an idiot flashing away during dinner time.

Either you want to try this, or you don't, I don't really care!

Aku membebel

Last night we were talking about something I have never understood nor approved: Why do bloggers who post shitloads of pictures (of themselves) and who only talk about themselves get a lot of hits? Who on earth reads them? They're all like, 'I woke up today. I ate a sandwich. I changed my clothes. I went to this ubercool party with (whatever nicknames they give to their friends). I was drunk. 100000000 pix with 'femes' people.' THE END. It's all about ME ME ME and how I AM SO DAMN HAPPENING BECAUSE I GO OUT AT NIGHT.

Nyeh. Brain fart!

Anyway I'm working now, my second day in the office. So far colleagues seem to be friendly. It's just a bit chaotic now because the boss is away, I don't have my own desk and pc yet. I'm using my supervisor's iBook which is a bit old and rosak already. Ugh I hate using it cause there's no right click and I can't scroll down on the touchpad. And the 'close' button is on the left side of the window. Plus the spacebar is spoilt. On its right side. Annoying ZoMG x 5000.

If you're at Solaris MontK, please holler and we can go for drinks. And for the hundredth time, NO, I shall not belanja you because hell, I haven't gotten my paycheck yet! even if I get it I'll still be broke cause I'm buying a Netbook.
