Acting dumb





For anyone who knows me in real life, my voice is very soft. It doesn't feel that way to me of course. But, almost every time I speak, the other person has to say: Sorry? Hah? Excuse me? What?

Its completely unintentional and I especially hate it when people lean in close to me with their ears pointed to me. Or when they answer hmmm? When its obvious they don't care a shit what you have to say. which is great cos they can continue talking nonstop.

Over time, I got used to keeping quiet since I'm so sick of repeating myself again and again to everyone. Even when I answer, my mum can't hear me.

Now throw in alcohol and suddenly everyone can hear me. Either my voice got louder because I have more confidence to talk, or people notice me on the dance floor all dolled up shaking that ass.

Either way, I should have gone for a tonsillectomy many years ago.



Heck, when customers can't hear you it really sucks. Observe:

Jim: I'll have a Big Mac.

Me: Do you want it as a meal with fries and drink?

Jim: Sorry, what did you say?

Me: Do you want fries and a drink with your Big Mac?

Jim: Oh yea. I want a meal.

Me: what drink please?

Jim: what? sorry, can you speak up? (he's obviously had a bad day as am i)

Me: drink? (making a hand gesture; imitating drinking)

Jim: coke.

Me: £3.29 please.

Jim: thanks.

Me: thank you. please come again. (MCD employees are forced to say this)

Jim: what? speak up please.

Me: never mind.

with that I normally fake a smile and turn around muttering: CIBAI!!

This goes on a few times every day.

This is routine. Bear in mind that McD is not a quiet place at all. With my quiet voice, add to it the sound of customers and other colleagues talking, to the fries machine sounds, the coffee machine, hot chocolate machine, banging of the tills, cell phones ringing, kids talking, to the music playing in store.

I want a LOUD voice. Like Shirley's. People will be intimidated by me man.

I won't dare pick a fight with shirley. I always lose. Cos my voice can't be heard around her. So not fair!



Make a wish. No, its not a shooting star or any shit. Its a plane. The skies in London are filled with these.

Anyway, wishes do come true. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. Someday.

The L Word



Its actually not bad. Its about a group of lesbians; their life, starting a family together, relationships, their jobs etc. Just normal day life. Except it shows more scenes with women making out, in bed etc.

I heard about this movie from some friends. At first, I thought it might be like "Another Gay Movie". which is kind of like soft porn in a disgusting way.

But the L word is actually not bad. I've only started watching Season 1.

Mama

This year Mother's Day falls on 11 May. I haven't been around on Mummy's day for few years. So, this year, I resolve to be kwai.

We're having a BBQ at night. I will be a good girl. For one day. lols. i won't answer back no matter what, i will not lose my temper. I will tell her she is still young and beautiful. I will tell her I love her to bits and that our family would fall apart without her.

Here's mummy:



I'm too like mum. Not only looks, our temper as well. She herself said I'm exactly like her when she was young.

We're both impatient, stubborn and short tempered. And we don't get along well at all.

Haha. But I still love her.

Soho

I went to Soho on Saturday night with the same group of people.

It's the same every Saturday night. So crowded you don't have room to breathe, to dance except shake your hips.

Tonight, there was this group of people beside me. One guy and 2 girls. He was dry humping 2 girls. What is dry humping you ask? Well, he was fingering and touching the girls while they rubbed themselves up and down his body. I was watching. Haha..

First they started dancing close. One guy and one girl. Then, they rubbed their bodies together. The girl thrusting her hips to the guy's abdomen while his hands explored her body. Then he was kissing her while his hands were going on a round the world trip.

Then another girl came in. She pressed herself to the girl while kissing the guy. Then the guy slipped his hands into her jeans.

Bet he was stiff then. They're not dancing on the dance floor. They are having sex with clothes on. He was kissing first one girl, then both girls, then all at once.

Kitty was like, get a room. I was like, holy shit. 3P on the dancefloor.

I got to know some of Steph's and Winnie's Swinburne friends. Cool guys from Bangladesh, if I'm not mistaken. Dancing at Soho sucks. We're not dancing. We're having a pushing match most of the time.

The group with the most friends and are the loudest wins. That's Kuching.

Victoria Arms

Friday nights I'm often seen at Victoria Arms (VA). Its the only place in Kuching where I have room to dance. I really don't like Soho. Its so crowded. Some people like Soho cos its the "young people" group whereas people think of VA as old ladies club. Its ladies night on Fridays till 9pm. Then the guys flood in.

I honestly don't really care about the crowd around me. As long as you play good music, and a dance floor. Then I'm definitely in. I don't care about the crowd.

I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking here:



Cas, Winnie, Steph, and Kitty. At the beginning of the night. Everyone still looking fresh.



Sisterly love. Winnie and I.



This is Kitty and a member of the band. She must be going for the zombie/vampire look.

Some more photos:



This is mum and me. That night someone was surprised to know we were mum and daughter. She always thought we were sisters. Mum was so happy. I should feel bad. That means I'm looking old...



Oh yea, By the way, it was Kevin's birthday last night. This was the cake we bought him. His first words upon seeing the cake was predictably: FUCK!
