MOM:
Asyraf! Finish your food!

ASY:
Sorry, I can’t.
I’m bloated!

MOM:
Don’t you know that each time you waste your food,
They will cry?!
(An old saying)

-

Asyraf just sighed and looked over to his fried bee hoon.

“Oh dear fried bee hoon,
I beg for your forgiveness!

I can’t finish you,
Because I’m just too full to eat anymore.

I’M VERY SORRY!“

-

Asy clapped his hands together in signs of apology and bowed his head for the fried bee hoon.

My mom just sighed in contentment.
But then she suddenly noticed,

-

“JAZREEN, WHY AREN’T YOU FINISHING YOUR ROTI CANAI?!?!”

-

-

Quietly I whispered to my untouched roti canai,

“I’m very sorry.
I’ve got no more space for you in my stomach.

But I just want to tell you that you’ll always have a place in my heart as the wonderful food that I should have eaten!”

MPH Stock Clearance Sale 2008 and my 3 years worth of birthday presents

Thursday, 1st May 2008.

Mak Su, Unc Azim, and I went for the MPH Stock Clearance Sale.

It was about 8:30am,
Unc Azim was speeding.
Mak Su was encouraging him to go faster.

And I was at the backseat, gripping to anything I can reach for, terrified of the speed.

ME:
What’s with the rush? The sale is going on the whole day, right?

MAK SU:
a) We’ll get good parking spaces.
b) We’ll have the whole place to ourselves.
c) We don’t have to wrestle with other bookworms for our books!

Hold on tight, girl!
Azim, step on it!!!

Taking Pictures With His Schoolmate

Do you know how the world is really small?

After a few years of not meeting someone,
suddenly on that day, fate has brought you to stumble upon them?

This happened to my Uncle Azim.
We were all hanging around at Sunway Pyramid trying to search for keychains.

Then, he stopped walking and was looking at a particular guy.

He asked for me and Mak Su to snap a picture of him with his ex-schoolmate.

He went to the guy,
who was in charge of promoting a toothpaste brand, Sensodyne at the exhibition.

So I was expecting my uncle to strike up a conversation with that guy.
Instead, he only said,

“Excuse me sir, could you please move a bit?
I’d like to take a picture with my fellow ex-schoolmate here.”

Eih?
That guy isn’t his schoolmate?
So who is it?
I don’t see any other people around there.

It only dawned on me after Unc Azim posed beside a guy with his shiny teeth,
telling us to quickly snap the photo of him with his classmate.

Lorh!

His classmate was the Cardboard Cutout Image of the Sensodyne model!

Ceyh, buat suspense je!

I Was Expected To Die Yesterday

HARDLY a day goes by without me logging on to the internet!
That’s how much of an addict I am.

With my addiction, I’ve led to (accidentally) blew up 2 laptops and 1 desktop since late 2007.

REASON:

I used it for too long.

The monitor literally EXPLODED

Currently, there’s no more piece of technological computer in my house.

How oh how am I to survive the day?!

• I sneaked next door and borrowed my neighbor’s laptop.

-+-+-+-

My dad and sister got home and was shock to see me looking fine and refreshed.
They stared at me with open mouthed.

ME:
… Yes? Reasons for staring, please?

JAZMEEN:
I-I didn’t think you would have survived!
I thought you’d be rotting and desperate for dad’s laptop.

ME:
Oh, really?
HOW did you think I would’ve look like? Care to demonstrate?

-+-+-+-

JAZMEEN’S PORTRAYAL:

She went and lie back on the wall.
She made a desperate face screaming,
“COMPUTER! DESPERATE! COOMPUUUTEEER!”

And she flailed her arms wildly towards the wall the whole time.

*_* ?

DAD’S PORTRAYAL:

He took in the stance of the dead goldfish,
with eyes bulging, and slowly muttered,
“Com-Com-… puter… C-C-Comp… uter..”

He reached out his hand to grab me like a zombie from Shaun of the Dead.

-+-+-+-

The embarrassment is

It’s Really True!

I would’ve really been in that state if it wasn’t for my little sneak next door!

How oh how accurate they’ve portrayed me.

Wahaha Wahaha!

Okay, yes, the title is very random.

But I just want to share a random music video here.

It has happened more than twice already
that when I’m feeling pretty bland,
this is the video clip that’ll at least just make me smile.

I’m not a fan of this group- Kanjani 8.
They’re much too wacky for me to handle.

The only reason I paid attention to this group at first was because of Ryo [the guy with green jacket].
No, please do not be fooled by his dorky self in this video.

When he’s in NEWS (his other band),
he’s a badass jerk.

He’s mean enough that the only words of comfort he offered to his friend when they were heartbroken was

“Oi, FAT Jin! Lose some weight already!”

Poor Fat Jin cried harder and ran away from the jerk.

Oddly, I’m attracted more to him because of that.

So here’s the video by Kanjani 8 - Wahaha (Yes, that IS the title of the song)
[English Subbed]

Yes, the video is cracky.
The humor of it have worn out after the third time I watched the video.

What uplifts me are the lyrics.

Here are some of my favorite lines in the song:

Sadness and worries
It seems that everyone has at least some of them.

It’s not just you, you know.

If I laugh, You will laugh.
So if You laugh, Someone else will laugh too!

This song just made me realize how very few songs there are in this world that states:

“Laughter Is Contagious!”

And it just cheers me up to see them laughing their neck off to this song.
Which just proves how contagious laughter is.

 

Keta Keta Keta Keta.

WAHAHA WAHAHA!
