barons

After few months in an abandoned state, someone finally rented the house opposite mine. The renter turned the house into a kindergarten and has spent a huge amount of money renovating it. Mum was worried that the advent of a kindergarten would cause a lot of noise and congestion. And today, it’s their first day of classes. However, there wasn’t any congestion or noise. No busses or cars around. It seems that there wasn’t a single student enrolled at all! I wonder how are they going to survive.
– 11:50PMLast night, I was at Hen’s place drinking Baron and playing Playstation 2 with Soon Loong and Jin Han. Hen was insisting us to buy Baron to drink at his place. Baron is some sort of beer but with 8.8% of alcohol in it and easily available at 7-11s at RM5.90 per can. It tasted horrible. However, a can is enough to get us pissed. No more beers for us, a can of Baron will do! Value for money!

atmosphere

I went clubbing with Melody, Ben, Cris, Yit Meng, Hen and a bunch of friends at Atmosphere. It wasn’t pack and thus we had plenty of space to shuffle.
However, the floor was sticky hence we had to put powder on it. Unfortunately, the club forbids talcum powder on the floor. We had to put pour them secretly otherwise the bouncers would do the unthinkable to us.
I bumped into Benjamin, our Mr Sunway College during my Alevels time. It was rumored that he is gay, probably due to the fact that he speaks with a soft and gentle tone and also muscular. I heard that he did stripped till his boxers on stage during the Mr. Sunway College competition. Last night at Atmosphere, he was with a bunch of muscular guys. You guys can figure out the rest.
My friends introduced a lot of people to me last night. I vaguely remember their names (that’s bad) but I definitely remember their faces (that’s good). I’m waiting for the day where I had to greet everyone I met in a club.
– 11:50PMI bumped into an old friend of mine today. It’s been almost a year ever since I saw him. However, our encounter didn’t turn out well at the beginning.
“Hey, how’s your brother?”
“What brother? I’m the brother here. I’m Albert!”
We laughed at my stupidity. Albert and his brother look almost the same.
“How’s your finger? I wanted to visit you last time but I couldn’t find the time”
He showed me his index finger. One third of it has been severed. It happened last year. While he was having a drink at a nearby mamak, a group of guys with machetes charged towards him and chopped his finger. The reason was, the group was sent by a jealous ex-boyfriend of his then girlfriend. He was lucky to survive such ordeal. Few of years ago, 2 guys were killed after they were attacked with machetes in my area. Old Klang Road is a tough place to live.

bangsaru!

Last night, Eishin, Hen and I went to Bangsar to meet up with Zach, one of Hen’s friends from Gold Coast. Apparently he’s a grandson of a huge royal icon. We had 3 jugs of beer at Absolute Chemistry. I was still sober after 3 mugs of beer. But as soon as Zach’s friend came over, we ordered a bottle of Absolute vodka with 3 mixers, coke, orange juice and ribena. Zach and his friend were from Kolej Tunku Abdul Jaafar (KTJ). It seems that they knew all the people I know from KTJ. What surprises me is that, they know Chuo Ming, my housemate in Sheffield. They agreed that Chuo Ming loves bossing people around and they too couldn’t stand him. They would turn his room upside down every time he pisses them off.
We finished the whole bottle. No doubt I was fucked. We wanted to head to Nouvo to club and even got into the car. However, Hen was too fucked to drive. We lost our way and ended up in Bangsar again.
And by the time we reach Bangsar, we had to stop by the roadside for a while for me to puke. And by then, Hen decided to send me home. I slumped dead on my bed as soon as I reach home, without brushing my teeth or even take my contact lens off.

NYE!

New Years Eve. It’s just another day for me.

New years eve
Initially I planned for a quiet New Years Eve. However, after a long argument with Melody, we headed to Bangsar for the countdown.

Initially, I thought we’re doomed. I thought the traffic would so be so bad that we’ll eventually end up doing the countdown in the car. However, parking was easy. We did it in 15 minutes.

Bangsar’s main road was packed with people. So pack that people had to push and shovel to move. But yet everybody wanted to stay on the main street to countdown. Melody and I on the other hand bought 2 jugs of Midori illusions at echo jazz bar.

The crowd in echo was really bad. Most of them can’t dance. They swung around like monkeys. Furthermore, the DJ didn’t turn out for work thus they had to play CDs to entertain the crowd. There was even once a group of guys started stripping one of their friend’s pants. They did that in the middle of the dance floor.

Yit Meng and his friend dropped by at echo. He was disappointed with the crowd too.
Countdown was horrible. Everyone tried to squeeze him or herself onto the main road. We couldn’t even walk out from echo. Moreover, some rascals from the upper part of the shops were throwing stuff down to the crowd.

We left the place in a state of boredom. But oh well, it’s better than staying home doing nothing.

handphone fixed!

Jin Han brought me to Lifestyle shopping complex to fix my phone today. Before that, we went to another hand phone shop to quote the price. We headed to Lifestyle after the shop wanted to charge me rm100 plus and they wont provide an extra phone for me to use while they fix the phone.
As I approach the butch working on the stall,

“How much to fix it?”
“RM90, what’s wrong with it?”
“The screen’s gone blank, I guess it’s the LCD, How much to fix it?”
“RM90, it will only take 15 minutes”
“Will you provide me with an extra phone while you fix my phone?”
“You don’t need one, I’ll fix it in 15 minutes! Now go walk around and come back in a while”

She took less than 15 minutes to fix it. The stall was totally unprofessional and messy. I can’t believe that she could fix a hand phone within minutes in such a place.

Sepang Rave 28 December 2002 Saturday

My faithful phone of 2 years, has finally gave in. The screen is now totally blank. I can’t read text messages or even recheck the number I dialled. And it even resulted to this,
Hello, hai pin tou?? (Where are you in Cantonese)
hello bzz bzz ffderhjwhjew (sound of a distorted line)
hey the reception is damn bad
(other party slams down the phone, I redialled)
?hai pin tou?? (where are you?)
(other party mumbles)
Hello Wai Keong hai tou mou?? (Is Wai Keong there?)
Wai Keong ah? Sei joor la! (Wai Keong? He’s dead!)
(other party slams down the phone again)


Sepang Rave 28 December 2002 Saturday
Finally, the long awaited rave, the Sepang F1 Circuit rave, has come. The preparation for it was a hectic one, loads of waiting and travelling. I had to carry the booze we bought yesterday (1 carton of beer, 1 bottle of vodka and 1 bottle of Bacardi Lemon) and borrow a Coleman from Jin Han to store our booze and ice.

I fetched Chin, jo5 and Justine to the rave. In return, Chin offered to pay all the toll charges. It cost him dearly.

For the first time, the security was tight. A body and bag check up is required. Cameras are not allowed (it could be a bomb?). I had to forgo my intention of bringing my camera in. However, we decided to smuggle it in. All we did was just standing next to an empty corner of the fence and pass it to the person standing on the other side.

The parking from the entrance was far. We had to walk for damn long to entrance. Chi, jo5 and Justine had to make 2 trips from the car to the entrance because the security refused to let them bring their camera in.

We were greeted with a huge area with white tents perched to sell tickets. KENT clubbers (KCC, that includes me) ticket holders had to line up to validate their tickets with their KENT clubbers card, identity and a packet of cigarettes (!??). Since I?m not a smoker, I had to borrow a cigarette and puff it in front of the KENT staff. It worked. I got my ticket validated!

While everybody was patiently queuing on the KCC ticket booth, the On-door ticket sale counter was virtually deserted. Malaysians are stingy to the max.

We bought too much drinks until we thought of opening our own stall in the car park to sell them away.

We were too pissed to finish all of them. We even had to give our beers away to Eishin to finish it. Boy, he surely drinks like a fish.

The place was huge, so huge that there?s enough space for everyone. Melbourne shufflers gather on the edge of the dance floor to shuffle. It?s amazing how the popularity of Melbourne Shuffle is resurrected once again. It was dead for couple of months and now it seems that it?s back on the dance floor again. Now even Malay ravers could shuffle. Yit Meng and I spoke to one of them. He seemed pretty friendly but all we did was just an exchange of name and smiles.

There were 2 main areas, area 6 and area 9. Each of them resembles a huge white tent and has rough cement floor (shuffling was hard). Big international DJS such as Sasha, John Acquaviva and Space DJs were the main attraction. However, I spent most of my time running around looking for my friends than dancing. It?s amazing how a person could disappear in a crowd within seconds.

Some of my friends left early. Hen was sick while the others were too tired. All that was left were Ping Sheong, the girls and I. We took break from the dance floor and boozed in the car park for an hour. But yet we still couldn?t finish everything.

We left the place as soon as the rave closes down at 6am. Driving back was chaotic and hectic as my body were on the verge of shutting down. Thank god we got home in one piece.

gym and pasar malam

Hen, Wai Keong and I went to a gym at Kuchai Lama. It was my first time to a gym and obviously I had no idea how to use all the equipments. Hen taught us couple of sets to follow. WK and I worked our arms out to finish the sets and by the end of the day, we could barely move our arms. Hen on the other hand was steady all the way. It seems that he works out frequently. We started out with some weight lifting while lying on a bench. We added more weight as we progressed. Hen was forcing us to continue lifting it even though our arms were shaking and trembling. According to him, if we stop halfway, our strength will not increase.

The KENT Sepang F1 rave is 2 days away. The tickets price ranges from RM40 to RM80 and obviously all of us were aiming to get the RM40 tickets. However, the RM40 ticket is only available to KENT clubbers member and since they refused to renew my card, my friends and I planned for hours to deceit our way into getting the RM40 tickets. We planned for few hours for our ultimate plan. I drove down to Bangsar with Hen and Ping Sheong with our ultimate plan. Hen planned to use Jin Han’s card with Jin Han’s identity card while I use Ping Sheong’s card (the problem is that Ping Sheong already used his card once)

Hen’s plan worked! The girl selling the tickets did not suspect anything even though there was a clear distinction between the photos on the identity card with Hen. However, Ping Sheong could get tickets for me. The girl knew that he reused the card (she scanned it first) and therefore refuses to issue a ticket for him. I was disappointed with our failure and planned to buy the RM60 ticket but decided to use my old KENT clubbers card as a last resort. It worked! But I had to lie in order to get the ticket. I had to fill up a new application form and state in the form that I am a smoker (I’m not a smoker). Our hours of planning were down the drain, none of our intended plans were used.
