i just had a hell of a day.

for the first time, it felt as if i was from gheyland and not the island. i actually spent 10 hours in total at that place and drove around as if i knew the place at the back of my fingertips. (maybe a little laa) i give myself some credit for being able to actually make my way to sunway from inderawasih without any help. so this is what my day summed up to:

• sunway damn boring to jalan. though i heard those departmental stores crying for my attention, i didnt find anything to my liking =/
  
• all segafredo franchises should like seriously stock up on their tomatoes! if you dont have 'em, dont put it in your menu! at least let your customers know what's available and what's not to avoid disappointing them and put them into another dilemma in deciding what to order again. one more time they tell me that they are out of tomato tonic, i'm going to go to the market, get a tonne of over-ripe tomatoes and have a La Tomatina with all the segafredo franchises in penang.
  
• Guinness has got this sourish weird malt taste to it. not bitter, but SOUR like malt really gone bad. lols and mind you, my taste buds are perfectly fine.
  
• gheyland's got pretty much some nice food and the duck egg fried koay teow in BM (Bukit Mertajam) is da bomb! the smell of it is just.. mmm yumms~! cant wait for the next time there again. heck, cant wait for food trail!
  
• the bridge's so much pweetier at night. pweety street lights all lined up in rows while overlooking the other pweety lights from the island and gheyland. *hearts* i cant even remember when was the last time i traveled across the bridge during the night.
  

on another note, i might have drowned earlier tonight? yes, i love the water and might want my ashes to be spread out in the sea as well, but i dont think i actually had drowning in the 15ft end of a swimming club pool in mind.. i've been helping dad out at his pool lessons, taking over some of his classes when he's got too many students to handle in one night, for a few years now. but tonight's lesson was by far the most challenging, one which puts all my years of experience to test. to cut the story short, the worse case scenario? it's either the fella ends up on the surface like what he wants BUT with a punctured lung or i drown. meh.

while we're at this topic, bare with some of my rants which i've put some thought and observation at for quite some time now. scuba diving isnt a sport or an activity which u seek glamour from learning it. it's not about how many dives and how deep you've gone or where you've dove before. it also isnt about feeling more superior just cos you've had your hand in a sport which not everyone has the chance to experience. yes, i admit it's an expensive sport but so what? it's not for you to show off. and now with cheap and fast courses the other commercialised diving school are offering (which i shall not mention in detail here), every tom, dick and harry can "proudly" say that, "i can scuba dive". i can feel and sense that it's starting to become what i would call, "overrated". the way how i dont like it with the iPhones (will touch on that another day). i do see people around who boast that they can dive but they dont even know nuts about appreciating the underwater world. do you even know how to take care of your gear or nottt?? do you even know how to set up your tank properly or nottt?? no righttt?? then shhhuutttuppp.

on an even random note, i miss our quartet i miss our quartet i miss our quartet. i saw ming and yan's vid recording of 'more than words' for sonia darling's birthday. sweeet =) and oh! i found videos from sookie's camera of the english week back in form5 - our drama, singing and the stupid things we did at the hall after the event. sadly, sookie's digital camera back then didnt come with the voice recording so the vids i have are like the ones of charlie chaplin's films. sigh. i miss singing with the girls like SO much! how we would work on the songs together and practice for over a million gazillion times just to perfect it! =) we so need to get together and make a comeback! lol

look what i dug up!
