Happy Gung Hey Fat Choi

Happy Chinese New Year to all, Mooo. I've been getting "Happy Niu Year" a lot this year -_-" Anyway, my house hosted on the eve of CNY and I've already began losing money we've already began gambling before the Moo New year's in, how typical of the 'lan dou' Chinese that I am makes up my family. With reference to my shopping haul post, yeah most of the stuff has been worn on the New Year itself.. =D

"Red, red wine~"

I shall fatten this post up a lil soon =)
just like how I'll be fattened up soon
On the first day of CNY my true love gave to me, food. Care to guess which male my dad is?
The sister on the left and my grandparents; red & pink overflow

Oh yeah! 2 days ago it was the annual double-open-house day during CNY, and as usual, Su Ann's was on the afternoon while Sze Yuen's was at night. When the gambling began in Su Ann's, I joined a poker table (Texas Hold 'em) and got a pair of 4s in my hand, which came up to a fullhouse by the end of the round. That first game, I think I took half the chips or more of everyone's, kinda evil =P everyone was all for it because the cards in the middle were sure chances of a flush at least, ngiahahaha =D And I busted Wai Hou's bluff when he took too long to consider his call. He threw 10 bucks at me (which was the buy-in, actually) and I followed. Ngiahahaha =D All in all, I won quite a bit that day even if I didn't gamble much, still 2 figures though =p I attribute it to this

San Nin Fai Lok

Lyrics..?

Funny lyrics noticed during Karaoke with Su Ann, Jin Seon and Jaclyn....

Jordin Sparks' hairy tattoo
Don't look back got a new direction,
I loved you once, needed protection,
(what for I wonder? Su Ann's keen eye spotted this)
You're still a part of everything I do,
You're on my butt just like a bulu
(Justin's take on the song)

Chris Brown's subtle hint on his possible homosexual tendencies in his song 'with you'
I don't need another woman,
I just need your all or nothing,
Cause if I got that I'll be straight (hmm.. hohoho!),
Baby, you're the best part of my day

Mental Dental and Maybank2Hell

Yesterday... All my troubles seem so far away

An appointment with the dentist yesterday morning made me a vampire. Okay, what happened was I took my grandma there for a check up (knew she'd need filling and her condition was bad, 8 cavities, hoo hoo) since she's been chickening out from it for god knows how long. I had to check my wisdom teeth anyway, will schedule a removal for the upper ones sometime after CNY. Good news is all my wisdom teeth grew straight and won't really require surgery; just normal extractions. Bad news... Now I haven't been to a dentist for god knows how long (I don't even remember nor do I want to, it'd be too embarrassing) and expected my teeth to require some... touching up. So, since I'm rescheduling extraction *whee I have no cavities*, I thought I'd do scaling. Which really hurt. Every space between each teeth bled as the dear dentist moved her tools to it, as I kept my eyes open looking at the reflection overhead. Of course I was thinking "What the hell, is scaling supposed to make me bleed like that???" and as it bled, it was obviously friggin painful (I was diggin my nails into my palms). When I was finally allowed to gargle *halftime*, the clear water that I put in my mouth returned a rusty brown colour when I spat it out O_O And on goes round two. Which was equally painful. What I was told at the end relieved me a bit though: "Don't be afraid of the bleeding, you have tartar between your teeth and there's only so much blood because you have gum infection. Just make sure you floss from now on, it'll continue bleeding for a few days".

Well, better to get it over and done with, and I flossed last night, yielding a little bit of blood. I tasted blood in my mouth yesterday for almost the whole day. When I told Su Ann... she said "Oh, don't think negatively of it, but I actually like the taste of blood in my mouth" to which I replied with my mouth agape. So after all that fiasco, I thought I did my homework flossing and the bleeding stopped quite quickly. Phew.

"I must have gums that regenerate much quicker than the dentist thought, ngiahahaha"

My bolster cover this morning O_O The patch was as big as my mouth would be if I were kissing tenderly... NO I WASN'T KISSING MY BOLSTER IN MY SLEEP! $(*&^%$#$#%)&(

As if that wasn't bad enough, when I finally willed my lazyself to the toilet to brush my teeth.. holy cow, my lips were blood red with a rim of dried blood both on the upper and lower lips and my teeth had a reddish tinge to them. *GARGLE & SPIT* Phlegm was blood red as was most of my saliva. And then I thought I saw a giant cavity in my left lower molars, which made me go O_O roar! Until I tried gargling properly and realized it's actually curdled blood caught up in the molar tooth's crevice. WTH that's disgusting!?


Oh yes, I highly recommend Colgate's Total Tartar Control coated floss by the way, it has some 'anti-shredding' technology that keeps it quite strong and in one strand unlike the Oral-B ones I've tried before. Those usually shred into many finer shreds as you floss, which sucks. This one kept in a piece while I flossed *proudly* my whole set of teeth last night, though I went gila when I noticed I choked my finger tip too long with the floss and it turned purple O_O Oh yeah, contrary to what I'm promoting, I actually hate Colgate toothpaste because they don't really taste minty enough, but I'm a controversial person and I'm using a tube now. Because my mom got shitloads of Colgate for free -_-

Maybank won't allow me to open an account until I renew my Mykad because it seems my smartchip is damaged and could not be read by their reader -_- So much for my heroics of buying credit *I ran out* to surf for on my phone for my institutions address to fill up their forms. Bahhh. Why must I have such a heavy arse to have damaged my card so bad -_-

Shopping Haul

Jin Seon: Jo, why do you have so many orange and red shirts??

Me: Well I buy them for CNY every year and since that's about the only time I shop....

After many rounds of shopping, my haul includes:
1. 3 T-shirts & some shorts
2. Jeans
3. Shoes
4. Wallet
5. 3 pairs of socks
6. Ankle weights
7. New water bottle (related to 6)
8. Undies!

woohoo! I'll only post pictures of the items I don't feel too lazy to snap. heh, too male to do it so thoroughly (wtf if I was that male what the hell is this post doing here, shiet)

1. Mr. Green Shoes, with an unknown brand "Line 7" (which sounds like a rip off of a guitar effects brand Line 6) with not bad shoes at 60 bucks? Still trying to get used to walking in these, they're not the most comfy in the world after you've walked a long time, maybe I have feet too wide for them. They're getting more comfy as the days pass though, weathering themselves to my feet. Sure didn't feel much discomfort when I was testing them -_-

4. Mr. Brown Scaly wallet; My room lighting's not good enough to take a decent picture (and I'm too damn lazy to do anything about, so sue me) but, yeah I like it a lot. The metal tag says "Smalto" which is until I bought this, an unheard of brand to me. Serving me well, slimmer and wider than my previous 5-year old wallet.

5. Renoma Socks; Ahh... love at first touch. They were so soft and cushiony and thick that I can't help but to get three pairs (of different designs). Worn 2, saves my sole..

6. Ankle weights, 2.25 kg per side. Model: Mr. Furry Right Leg.

7. Water Bottle: That wasn't the original pair of ankle weights I got. The first had a lil hole which leaked its fillings out, so I went back and changed for the pair above, which is heavier and cheaper. So they owed me 10 bucks from the difference in the item values, which prompted me to get something to make up my money's worth. This bottle made me splurge another 10 bucks. Bahh

Last but not least...

Shop the Shop

An impromptu shopping trip today with Jin Seon and Alvin yielded well for Mr. Author, for he got about everything he set out to get. A pair of shoes, ankle weights and 2 T-shirts later, he returned home a happy man to type this post as his short legs swing happily with his new ankle weights strapped on. Pictures soon!

Words of Wisdom

Stupidest Idea tonight (no prizes for guessing who's it was):

"The worst prank you could probably play on a girl would be to tattoo her armpits black when she's drunk"

On another note, if you've been reading me long enough you should remember me having a baby cousin sister (who turns for this May, Hurrah!) who had a brain infection last year (I can't find the post, maybe my ex deleted it last time). She was prognosed to have Rasmussen's encephalitis. About a week ago, my dad was eagerly showing me on TV where Ripley's was showcasing a girl with half a brain, living life quite normally as a high achiever in school. Her story included her going through an operation to remove half a brain, or hemispherectomy. My dad was going on and on about how amazing it was, like how a kid would marvel at a circus maybe. And little did he notice that this was the exact thing that could've happenedt to my lil baby cousin sister. I opened my mouth a few times intending to say something (mostly when his attention was on the TV) but nothing came out, and I decided that I'll just keep it that way. No point stirring anxiety and unwanted attention to the lil girl right? Hehe, ah well, Hoo ha, she's healthy as a brat now alright!

Procrastinator Trudges On

What could this be about?

Me?
Nah, 'tis bout me

JS (left): No, it's bout me!
Poing: Alright, whatever..

It all began in an old fashioned Malaysian night in Poing's house, as usual.
(the picture above is a reflection off my shiny ol' Z610i)

And this is a lil souveneir that Dodo left on my skin prior to leaving KL. She says she genuinely attempted to draw an old fashioned 'smiley face'. Oh dear.. Her skill with the pen-is indeed, unsatisfactory.
Let's take a moment to reflect the whole point of this long-overdue post...
Oh!
Yes, it was the fair one's birthday, and we decided to hooha it in a coffee shop with a slice of Starbuckeroo Tiramisu that Alvin (the other fair one) brought, hoo ha
Watch her expression, she's thrilled (by the looming cake-onslaught)
What did I tell ya?
Possible couple? Look at them, Alvin's got his tongue out in anticipation and Jac's got the 'sly' face on, it's gonna happen, right?
Happy Belated Birthday? Gosh it was only 8 days ago, but it really felt like an eternity has passed since then.
Now, it's time to make a wish... No Poing, only Jin Seon gets to make one...
*Dish*
At last, the gloves that I have been wanting for over a month.. or two. Fresh from Everybody Martial Arts at Jalan Brunei Barat, KL.
At a price of RM85 (ouch), genuine leather to wrap my porky hands while I hammer that punching bag. Wheee.

Expect the Unexpected

Last night, I couldn't get anyone for a lil 'yumcha' session except Su Ann, who initiated it. So, on went just the two of us to friendly ol' rat-ty Jelutong.. NAH AH

Just minutes into having settled into our table, a friendly neighbourhood auntie sat down 2 seats away from me, to my left. After a lil verbal foreplay, the friendly neighbourhood auntie (FNA) suddenly asked in a very polite tone, "Excuse me, but have you two just graduated from form 5?" Okay, nothing new here, we both sniggered and cleared that up, only for the chat to go onto the next familiar line for me "Pardon me boy, but are you Chinese?" Wheee. Cleared that one up too, and she went on and on, though I gotta say it wasn't really a total bore since she's got quite a few... interesting stories. Examples included smashing her husbands computer with a baseball bat when he didn't take her word seriously about moving the computer back to his office when she feared her kid spending too much time on games, breaking her husband's keyboard in half when he stirred her up in her sleep when she had a bad migraine, attending an opera and dining at a posh restaurant in Britain in bermudas and a T-shirt O_o Yeah, I couldn't help myself sniggering for another few minutes after she left till Su Ann had to ask me "What's so funny???"

She's a regular there. How did I know? When I went to take a piss after waiting for a pause for what seemed like an eternity (or two), the staff at the mamak began to laugh at me, sayin "Auntie banyak cakap ah?". Aihhh, I had to agree. Heck even after she left they continued laughing at us. One of the embarrassing parts was she insisted on paying for all our drinks and food. "Thank you, auntie" chanted us both. Nice catching up with Su Ann anyway, it's been a looong, looong time =p

She's got Balls

After getting her a deferment letter, after her friends from school have left the camp, after she's gotten a hold of herself from homesickness, after my parents have paid her a visit in camp today, she has decided to go on ahead with the 3 month NS program. My parents even said the camp ain't as bad as she dramatized and after she re-read her SMSs to my mother, yeah she said she overdid it =_= Alright then, she's got something to prove to my dad that she can take this shit, so go for it. I'll be payin her a visit next weekend too, hoo ha~! The family is rather proud of her balls, even if they bloomed late, hahah

2009

My Brother

Time for lyric play

Let it be by The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble,
Brother Kenny comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom,
let it be

And in my hour(s) of darkness he is,
wincing right beside of me,
because I punched his ribs,
to let em bleeeed


Song change

Hey Jude

Kenny: Hey Jo, where are your keys?
Brother: In my pocket, yup, in the left side.
Kenny: So why'd you, just punch me hard in the ribs, when I began, to reach for them there?

When I arrived to save the drunken brother from the scene....
Me: Hey dude, don't hit me bad.
Have some water, let's go together.
The minute, you get back into your car,
it's not so far, to get home together.

Tony: So let's go since you need a ride, to save, your bane.
It's not the best first impression of your brother.
And don't you know he's drank too much, a senseless fool.
Your friends must feel stress, it's bad, like boulders.

Brother: Na na na na, na na na na *while wagging you a middle finger*

This briefly describes my drunken brother who yet again, required us to save him and bring him up to his room. I had a safer night with Poing, Jin Seon, Jaclyn, Sze Yuen (OOh yeah a growing list of women..), Junde (dang), Choong Khin, Tony, ALVIN! and Yee Hou. Playing "Taboo", drinking wine (courtesy of Poing's dad, thank you very, very much), Vodka with Juice (Jin Seon's, thank you very, very much) and Chivas (Tony, thank you very, very much, especially for towing home that dead truck that was my brother) etc etc. Nothing too exciting, but just the right amount of high from friends and alcohol to be a great night without anything too exciting.

Before I forget, thanks Jac for dining with me so I'll avoid a lonely New Year's Eve dinner, and also for shopping for the stuff with me so we had enough supplies for the night.

Oh yes, thanks for leaving the Wii at my place, Jin Seonus.

My New Year's Resolution:

To Be Punctual.

Goodbye to you, 2008, and hello 2009

Woops, Happy Belated New Year =P
