Turbulent Tuesday

Well, Mimi commented on my post that I wake up earlier than 10 o'clock. Guess what Mimi, this time you're wrong! Haha. I woke up at 12 today. No, not that I'm feeling hungry. And definitely not because I have to pay a visit to the urinal fairy. Ibu called up. She was in Subang Parade. Asking what's for lunch. Being the deadpan brat that I am, my answer was 'anything as long as I won't complain about hungerness for the next 10 hours'. I did complain anyway. Luckily she bought some goreng pisang, Not just any goreng pisang, mind you. Azmi's Goreng Pisang. It's the latest craze in Taipan. I've never seen so many people queing up as if they're buying Siti Nurhaliza concert tickets. It started to rain again. Thank God. No more plant watering for me. Yay! These past few days I've been spending my wasted hours playing Winning 11. From a.m to p.m. Oh yeah. I chatted with Mawar last night. I was'nt expecting her to show up since she's been busy with assignments and her upcoming mid-term exam. We talk the usuals. The how-are-yous, the tengah-buat-per-skangs, the dah-makan-ke-belums. What flatters me is that, she's always the one that starts rambling about the dah-makan-ke-belums. How caring. Terharunye... No wonder she's already 'taken'. Haha. At the end of our session, she said that she's not fully satisfied about our last meeting. According to her the given time-frame was'nt sufficient enough. She'd really love to meet me again and chat more personally. Haha. The shock of the day comes from Oyin. She missed called me out of the blue. She replied later on with a message saying that she misses us a lot especially Razi. Man, kudos to her for that. I'm amazed by her undying affection and rock-hard determination. Wonder if Mimi has something to do with that. Hmm.. And also mentioned that she has tons of things to tell me. What is there to talk about? What importance do I have to her advantage placing me at such position? Oh no, I'm not being paranoid am I? My session with Mimi was as delightful as usual. Except for the blog part. Make it the bare-all part. She may not expose everything about her but I did. No use of keeping secrets if you're posting blogs. Totally missing the whole point. Anyways, I read hers. Honestly speaking, I admire her writing style. That's what I'm sorta aiming for. Simple yet charmingly passionate. Kudos to her as well for her willingness to finally establish an intimate relationship. Lucky guy. Haha. Well, at least she's decided to move on. I on the other hand, forever stuck here without a stern reason or purpose. Living a dream. Living a lying dream. At least I'm happy whenever my friends or family are happy with their lives. I find solace in their state of joy and sorrow. I want them to know that I'll always be there to tolerate or to celebrate. I've planned to do some 'crazy' stuff during my upcoming London escapade. Firstly, bring along my recorded stuff and try to promote it in every possible way. Secondly, if there's an open-mic session in a pub or somewhere, I'll either get myself to see it or even better, be there as a performer! Thirdly, talk a pretty lass (if I ever find one) to have a picture taken with me. That'll be the greatest souvenir ever! Haha. My initial plan was actually to shop for as many cds/gadgets as possible with my given allowance. About 100 pounds. And also to buy something nice for Shaela, Mimi & Mawar. But come to think of it, I may only set foot there once in my lifetime. So I better go all gung-ho about it. As I am writing this, I've just finished watching the first portion of "Moulin Rouge". (That's VCD for you and me lah..) Judging by the first 20-30 minutes, I must say that it is the most-commercially viable, avant-garde musical ever translated into cinema. The music arrangements just blew me away! Who would've thought placing 'Lady Marmalade' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' side by side in a slutry-bombast setting would be a majestic idea? Such a sight seeing the Diamond Dogs howling to the classic Patti Labelle ditty while the drooling gents chanting "Here we are now, entertain us!" over and over again. Cobain must be kicking himself in the ass for writing that song. The cinematography? Woah.. A definite mind-boggler for me. Gotta get myself the DVD copy. That movie is so in my list of all-time favorites.
