A few years ago, a friend and i watched a movie at Midvalley. I can’t remember what movie it was, so don’t ask me that.
Thirty minutes into the movie, we heard
“ZZzzZZzzzZzzz”
Someone in the row behind us (but a few seats away) snoring. We turned to see who it was, wondering if it was a joke.
Several people in our row also turned back to look. My friend gestured to the girl sitting beside the guy, asking her to wake him up. When she didn’t, we started throwing popcorn at him. And he woke up, as we quickly turned back to the screen to concentrate on the movie.
“What’s wrong with his friend? Why can’t she wake him up?” I whispered to my friend.
“Don’t know! Why is the guy sleeping in the cinema in the first place?” My friend whispered back.
Then fifteen minutes later, the snoring started again. It got louder. We quickly turned around to glare at the sleeping guy and his friend, the girl.
“Wake him up!!” My friend whispered to the girl, who looked frightened. She eventually gave him a hard nudge with her elbow nevertheless, and woke the guy up.
Finally, when the movie ended and the lights came on, we had a good look at the guy. As everyone slowly left the cinema, we noticed that the guy wasn’t with the girl and friends. In fact, he was alone!
o.O
“Oooh, no wonder the girl didn’t want to be bothered with him! He came alone! Gosh, he paid a movie ticket just to sleep in the cinema? Basket!!!” My friend commented.
See, never jump to conclusions …..

OMG It’s the end of the year!
December sucks. It makes me wonder where the heck has the 11 months gone and what the heck have I accomplished. A time for reflection and to make new year resolutions … and refreshing this year’s one(s) as well. ;P
I made almost 20 for this year but when i checked, i only managed to keep 3 of them.
(1) Survive current job.
(2) Survive blogging.
(3) Check out gay men.
It’s really bad. So that means 17 will be brought forward to 2007. -_-”
Anyway, a hypothetical question:
“If you could turn back time, which year would you want to go back to and why?”
I’d want to go back to my college days to chase after many many boys, wOot! Damn the studying, though. Shit.
xes says he’d go back to 1981 and be a lil sperma swimming around. -_-
P.s. If you happen to be reminded by friendster of my upcoming birthday, please ignore it. Because that’s not my birthday, really.
IT is Bimbobum‘s birthday – my first crappy post on www.xes.cx! muahahaha.
Winter Solstice Festival
Today is time for family to gather around and eat sticky dough balls in syrupy water together.
The ‘Winter Solstice Festival’ in Chinese roughly means that it is the day when sunlight is the shortest and daylight is the weakest. The dough balls are called ‘Tang yuan’ in Mandarin, or ‘Tong yuen’ in Cantonese.
‘Tang yuan’ are made of glutinuous rice flour and sometimes brightly coloured. They can be plain or stuffed with red bean paste, crushed peanuts, lotus paste or gula melaka.
It is believed that eating tang yuen will rid bad luck – a belief which originated long time ago in China. The story went something like this:
Frank_omatic and Bimbobum were once eating at a stall in a little town in China. Frank_omatic is always gobbling his food, and he accidentally swallowed some fish bones which were in his Penang Assam Laksa. Choking, he tried drinking water but it didn’t work. Bimbobum whacked him the back but it didn’t dislodge the fish bones.
At the same time, a beggar (actually, he’s xes) came and asked for food.Frank_omatic and Bimbobum gave him Frank_omatic’s unfinished Penang Assam Laksa and he was grateful.
Seeing that Frank_omatic was turning blue, xes offered him lumps of dough and ask him to swallow. (Frank_omatic actually wanted to throw them away, but Bimbobum was a wise one, and asked him to just swallow them.) Frank_omatic swallowed them, and it worked, the fish bones were dislodged!
So, everyone lived happily ever after.
The end.;P
Hope you guys had your tang yuan already!

Want To Sleep Around
A friend was telling me this the other day:
What do I need to sleep around?
A lot of friends tell me that I’ve been single for too long, therefore need some action (in bed) before I wrinkle up into a bitter prune.
It’s not to say that I have not had offers, but I dare not succumb to the temptation of the flesh, for fear of being expectant after the one night stand or fling. You know, I am an emotional person.
I could only say:
Well, if you can detach your emotions from your flings prior to the deed, then you’re definitely prepared to enjoy the ride. How do you do that? I don’t know.
Some say sex is just sex. Do it, get over it, don’t expect anything right after.
I’m sure the boys have better ideas than I do, because I’m the one who’s going to be a wrinkly bitter prune soon to expire!
—————————–
Let’s ask uncle xes or fanky on this but they’re going to say, “Just do it, don’t think so much!”
Restoran Mosin @ TTDI
I met up with friends for dinner/supper at Mosin in TTDI the other night. I’ve seen its branches around, but that night was my first visit to one.
Check out the name of the restaurant engraved on all its chairs!
The crowd began to arrive at 9pm, the tv wasn’t on and food was abundant. My friend recommended the mumtaj naan, describing it as a mini pizza.
You know me and my quest for the best naan(s) around town …. ;P
I was desperate for something cheesy, so I ordered it.
With sprinkles of grinded or shredded green and red chillis, there was a slight hotness to it and together with the generous serving of cheese, it was good.
Someone had the nasi lemak which looked alright.
They have a branch behind the old Lim Kok Wing Institute, near William’s where frank_omatic visited often. Hehe. Stalk him there!
Speaking of William’s, their latest popular dish is the seafood fried rice topped with deep fried baby crab at RM12. The portion is HUGE!
Mamak Restaurants are really on a Malaysia Boleh roll, even Devi’s Corner and Spicy Kitchen have branches everywhere!
Fitting Room Curtains
I was trying on some clothes in one of the stores with no proper fitting rooms with doors, it had those curtain types. I hate those, sometimes, because they aren’t secure. There are those with gaps between the curtains and the partitions, allowing passerbys a peek in, if you’re not careful. They should add velcro straps or those curtain ropes and hook things, whatever you call them.
As I was just to pull up a dress, the curtain flew open and a girl barged in. Surprised to see me inside, she immediately blurted out, “OH, SORRY!”
Then she stood there for about 5 seconds or more, staring at me, as if reluctant to get out.
I stood there, doing the classic embarrassed pose, clutching the dress to my bare chest, waiting for the girl to bugger off.
I bet she wanted to see my bare chest!
[This image was used on my post titled “wOtcha lOOking at?”]
Hmmm yes, she was quite flat. ;P
The thing is, I don’t get it. If you apologise automatically so immediate after a booboo, why not leave immediately, too?
One of those relationship issues again
You know how everyone dislikes being second best most of the time? How is being the 1st runner-up in a beauty pageant or competition a good think when the prizes are far more inferior than the winner’s?
Someone asked a friend of mine whether it was fair for a girl to have issues being second choice. Guys (most of them!) are always wooing several girls at one go, although they would have some sort of preference in mind – like having favourites. So, technically, it’s like saying, “Hmm, A is first choice. If i can’t get her, I’ll try for B. If not, f*ck, I guess I’ll have to settle for C.”
Would B accept him, after knowing that she was second choice all the while? Or it doesn’t matter? I’ve seen situations where a 2nd choice gets together with a guy because 1st choice got a boyfriend and broke the guy’s heart. Later when 1st choice was single again, the guy dumped 2nd choice to try again with 1st choice. So, 2nd choice will always be 2nd best, no matter what?
On the other hand, it seems to be generally accepted that girls can have a variety of men to choose from, provided they are her suitors. Why is she allowed to choose, while letting the men attempt to win her heart? All is fair in love, you say?
Hmm.
I am, however, tempted to test the theory out – the one about being 2nd best. I know someone who got together with a girl who wasn’t his first choice altogether – hehehehe because I wasn’t interested in him. But do I really want to be a bitch and break them up, just to test my powers? That would be sad, because I am not interested in him at all – let the couple be, I’m sure he’s tuned himself to be very much in love with her.
Unless I’m feeling really lonely one dark and stormy night ……..
KFC’s Zinger Maxx
The normal Zinger burger has gone on vacation, and its substitute for the time being is the Zinger Maxx.
Have you tried it?
Too Young to get Married
Dear Bimbobum,
I am 22 years old this year. Recently, I got together with this fabulous lady of 30 years old. We get along really well, despite our age gap.
However, the problem with it is that, she wants to get married and I still have few more years to sleep around!
There is no doubt that I would want to stay on with my lady. However, I can’t be committed to one girl at such an early age.
Please Advise.
Regards,
Insecure.
—————————————————-
Dear Insecure,
You want to stay on with your lady or you want to sleep around? Or do both at the same time?
Who asked you to date an older woman who’s looking for marriage?
Bodoh.
I’m sorry I cannot help you. ;P
xxx,
b-bum.
Coolant and Water
Dear xes,
As a girly girl, I am completely hopeless when it comes to cars. The current beau would be the one to fuss over my car and nag me if anything requires changing. But being unattached for the moment, I have no one to turn to – so I’m asking you for help, IF you know about cars.
Long time ago, some guy at the gas station told me the coolant was not enough and added some water. Recently, some guy at another gas station informed me that water cannot be added to the coolant. o_O So all this while, I’ve been tricked? Imagine the times I added water to the coolant to keep it at its required level…..
I feel so embarrassed to be asking this, but I just want to see how macho you are in answering my question. ;P
xxx
bum.
p.s. Another thing, how do I avoid having the engine’s black oil being added or changed so frequently i.e. every month? I don’t remember my car needing it so often, but lately, the guy at the gas station keeps making me buy coolant and black oil from him almost every month. I think I should change gas stations!
