I have been busy.
Yesterday, I received a call from Eric out of the blue. It has been ages since he last contacted me, so I thought there must be something that he wanted, or perhaps he was just gonna start his bullshits again. I mean, he’s pretty lame. He could call you for half an hour and talk about nothing but cold jokes.
Eric: Yo w’sup Kate. How are you?
Kate: I’m fine. Wassup. (HAHA I don’t usually talk like that)
Eric: Oh I just wanna ask, is there any vacant room at your place?
What? He wanted a room! And apparently he’s the one who’s gonna rent the room. For what?? I mean, he stays with his family at Sri Gombak, not too far away from my place right? So why would he want a room here? Pay a huge sum of rental every month just to bring girls home? Not quite impossible, considering he’s someone who can afford a Celica. Oh think about it, if he ever moves in, I can enjoy free ride everyday! XD
Whatever reason there is, I did not bother to ask. But I told him I will ask around for him if there is any vacant room.
Recently, I have discovered a Rooms for Rent website.
Click: Caribilik.com
For those who don’t understand Malay, cari=find; bilik=room. It’s a website where you can search for rooms for rent all across Malaysia. For those who want to advertise their rooms, just register and post up your advert for FREE!
So now, in order to find yourself a suitable room or even house, just sit at home and surf the site. The locations are categorized, which makes it even easier for room seekers. First, click on your desired state at the right side of the page.
There you go, 7071 results for Kuala Lumpur. To get more specific location, you can choose from the cities listed.
Otherwise, you can simply use the search engine provided below the page..jpg)
See, I have just found a suitable room in Melati for Eric!
This is really useful! Now you can even follow them on Twitter! XD
It’s amazing that at this era, people still use paper and pen to advertise their rooms. They practically stick their notice around, vandalising every visible corner.
My condo management doesn’t seem too pleased about these unofficial notices on their board, so they posted up a warning.
Some people chose to advertise it at the toilet. A common scene in my college. I guess that’s the last place where you would get caught for vandalising.
No tissue? Worry not. One piece of these is more than enough to wipe your ass! XD
Now, with Caribilik.com, we can proudly tell our friends that we found our room from the website instead of some filthy toilet!
So what did we give each other for our anniversary, you ask?
Tadah! A Swatch that represents the one whole year we spent together. And it goes round and round, never ending. Unless the battery is exhausted. But still, we can change new battery! LOL.
Mine? The dress and the bag! Nice right nice right? Of course, since I was the one who chose them! Did you seriously think that he would choose such a nice dress for me? Teehee. Unfair, should have asked for new heels as well.
So where did we celebrate the important night?
Outback Steakhouse at Bangsar Village.
We had the entire space upstairs all for ourselves, thanks to Darl who has some special connection there. So while downstairs was crowded and noisy, upstairs was calm and peaceful, with slow songs playing to create a romantic ambience.
The view outside. Those were the lights hanging at the trees outside. Beautiful, isn’t? XD
Like I said before, how could you let a wonderful night slip past without getting some red wine?
He said I have to post up this because he looks cool. Teehee.
Look, what a creative way of serving their bread! Don’t ask me why we ordered that, it’s free one by the way.
Creamy mushroom soup.
Caesar salad.
Victoria's Filet (tenderloin steak). It’s medium cooked. Looks almost raw right?
Outback Sirloin. I know both look the same, but tenderloin is certainly as good as it sounds.
Since when my face become that round??? Oh gosh.
That’s my squirrel chewing on the corn!
Complimentary dessert. By complimentary, it means FOC! Free! Really. I was wondering when we even ordered that. Of course, not every customer could enjoy such privilege XD
It’s sort of like Haagen Dazs lava cake. Yea, hot cake beneath ice-cream and a layer of cream. Forgotten the exact name though. But it’s stated RM20+ on the menu.
Neh, the night doesn’t end just like that. There was still a long way, if you know what I mean. It was our anniversary night after all. Must do something more than that right? XD
Well, what are you thinking? We went for movie la stupid. Kaka.
After 2 years of long wait, Transformers is coming back to the big screen again!
Why do I want to watch it so badly, you asked?
Because I can’t have enough of Transformers! If I were granted a wish, I will turn half of the world’s population into Transformers robots. But of course, they must be good robots who can get along with us but not those evil machines that seek for world domination.
See? So cute right! Imagine half of the bloggers in Nuffnang will be robots, and the best thing is, they can transform themselves into cameras! Next time when we attend any events, just bring along a camera-robot partner! XD
What’s more, we can have Transformers pets! Upon my request, it will be transformed into a pendrive in which I save all my blogger drafts. I’m always having trouble looking for my pendrive, so a pendrive transformer pet should ease my problem.
But think about it, are robots allowed to date human beings? What will be the outcome?
Yesterday, out of the blue, Hik suggested that we should go to Jusco Setiawangsa for dinner. In the midst of making a choice between KFC and Wendy’s, we saw this:
A long queue outside Boston café! What’s so special about the café that attracted so many customers? Look, they were even willing to wait while the other diners inside were slowly chewing their steak.
The banner tells it all. Sizzling Hot Plate for RM1, no hidden charge! 8-18June, which means it has just started on that day. Monday-Thursday. 12-3pm and 6-9pm.
Instead of jumping at the opportunity, suspicious thoughts instantly flooded my mind:
“No hidden charge but got terms and conditions is it?”
“They use rotten meat???”
“Impossible! Sure got something. Hmm. . .”
Hik was even more brilliant. He thought that the restaurant is cooking the hot plate with disposed pad to cast charms on their customers. Like the news we heard about Kepong Bakuteh. Wtfreak.
But anyhow, we still decided to take a risk. Apparently there are 4 choices, each for RM1! Really.
3 add-on choices, each for RM3 only.
You must be thinking, wouldn’t they be making a loss by charging RM1? Well, the truth is, on normal days, the café is rarely crowded, and business must be tough having so many competitors gathered at the same place. So this promotion aims to introduce their food to us, at the same time earn from your side order (for example, your drinks) and from their service charge which can at least contribute to their rental. A supposedly win-win situation.
But what I see is, those Malays ordered RM1 hot plate without even the add-on. And they ordered plain water! Goodness. Really so kiam siap meh. LOL.
Grilled Lamb Chop. Tastes good =)
See, not bad riGht? That’s my favourite type of thin fries, like those in McD!
Mix Fruit Salad.
Mushroom soup with garlic bread. I recommend this. The soup is yummy!
Beef Steak. I waited quite long for this. Even people from the next table who came much later got their food before me. Hik said because I’m not their priority. Jeez so racist.
Since it’s RM1, we decided to order another two more from the menu. Too bad the fish fillet was out of stock. So we merely settled for grilled chicken fillet.
This is called “Aladdin Chicken Salad”. ROFL I was the one who made it, if you have realized XD
Total payment: RM17.20! Because we ordered apple juice instead of plain water. Hiak hiak. Next time bring your own bottle XD Gotta visit the place again before the promotion ends. So, to repay my kindness for spreading the news, bring me along if you’re going!
Remember, the promotion ends at 18th of June! Teehee.
Each time I browsed through our old photos, it never failed to lead me down the memory lane. 1 year, short as it seems, I feel like we have known each other for decades. All the happy days we have been through together, all the sadness and sorrows we have conquered. Ironically, when I look at one particular photo, it is as though we have just met yesterday.
It was the night when I randomly asked for a picture. You were just a young-looking stranger boy back then, but never had I thought that a seemingly insignificant action of mine would lead to where we are today.
The very next morning, you gave me a call before your work, and the same night, we met each other for the second time. (omg I didn’t know I was that ugly back then, why would you even like me???)
I would never forget the way you looked when I placed the tiara I rented from the costume shop on your head. Despite the unwillingness shown from your expression, I thought you looked like a cute little prince.
On our third date, an old man in the Old Town said to me, “this young man looks promising.” (due to the fact that you were wearing that formal working outfit? XD) The statement was then quoted in your MSN personal message, which in some way gave me a sense of importance and significance.
We weren’t couple back then. But we probably looked like one.
Soon, it was the 6th day. I like how you look when you pretended to be angry. So cute and irresistible!
That night, I received a text from you saying that we should take things slow. As disappointing and hurting as it sounds, I couldn’t agree better with you. After all I wasn’t that ready to commit.
Together we went to Roxy Summer Splash. It was my first time meeting your friends (not as your girlfriend though).
We went out together for several times. I remember each tinge of excitement whenever you asked me out, whether it was dinner or shopping.
You refused to hold my hand in front of our friends and bloggers, with the excuse of keeping a low profile (asshole). So you were merely my escort rather than boyfriend during Made of Honour. But anyone who were present that night would have probably guessed that things weren’t that simple between us.
Soon, we celebrated our 2 weeks anniversary at Alexis. I know this is contradicting, since we said we were gonna take things slow. But deep down we know what type of relationship we were having. It wasn’t ordinary friends nor casual fling. And obviously the 2weeks anniversary was my awesome idea XD
If I were to name one attractive feature of you, it would be your thick, prominent brows. As much as I find it amusing, I couldn’t help being in love with your shin-chan-cuteness.
After more than 1 month, you were finally adapted to the idea of showing up as my boyfriend in public because you had no choice XD.
Your MMS brighten up my days,
when you are out for a drink;
working;
or sleeping.
I enjoy shopping with you even though you might not be the best shopping partner. Will you ever stop looking at sports equipment??? *roarrr*
Fights and arguments are inevitable. But each time it strengthens us, bringing us even closer together.
Compliments do not come often from you. So occasionally, when you gave a few words of praises, my heart flutters a little.
Although you could be mean some time, you never fail to put a smile on my face.
Every moment I spend with you is a blessing, and I enjoy your companionship more than anything else.
In 1 year time, together we have been through:
my birthday;
your birthday;
national day;
Christmas;
New Year;
And Valentine’s day.
Finally, it is our one year anniversary.
After 1 year, days still feel like months when I am not seeing you. imma leech wtfreak I know you’ll always be there for me, always the one whom I can rely on.
Happy one year anniversary, darling! Thank you for your love and care. I can’t express how grateful I am to have you. I love you! <3
One moment I was sitting at home reading through Economics notes, and the next I found myself wandering around KLCC, so barely visible amongst the crowd of shoppers, embraced by the new, fresh-looking, trendy outfits behind the display glass. This is where I belong! Exactly where I should be at that point of time! Standing at the centre of the building, I found myself being attracted by the temptation of the seasonal sales. The idea of exam had been erased completely from my mind, at least temporarily. Ben said this is no good, for I would later find myself trying hard to catch up with the world moving too fast (only one day left for revision). That is certainly not true, for I know, deep down of my heart I know, that shopping helps everything, and a glance at my victory purchase would make the world halt. I was a bird, free from all worries, fluttering my wings for the reach of somewhere far within. It is not somewhere far I am unfamiliar with, rather, a place where I ought to be, that brings back a sense of belonging, so much contentment I could hardly stop it flowing.
And there I was, invading the private world of two boys, freeing them from the occasional point and stare of other shoppers. The world is so accustomed to conventions, at the same time, capable of assumptions. How can we help, for the judgemental seed had planted itself from within? They who are of equal age, compatible looks and similar dressing, what more do they need to awaken the discerning gossipers? A foreign girl pointed and whispered. She laughed. What a pity that the ruler isn’t straight, for that it has lost its value, unless I can bend it with my hand. Nevertheless, the shape was but an illusion, a misleading mirage. The ruler was straight, straighter than her hair, the moment he found his owner. He pulled me close to his shoulder. She laughed, but this time, with different gestures.
But now, I have been transformed, from an eagle soaring high, to a hummingbird trapped in a rusted cage. A room filled with ancient dust, with the pressure of responsibility that suffocates. Loud noises blasted from the construction site, as if letting out the anger on my behalf. I could hear the soothing splashing of the pool, and the laughter of children playing. The tranquillity I have been longing. How many days await, before I could step my feet onto the heart of the city again, breathing in the modernised air and scrutinising every face that speaks from the heart that connects? Will it hurt to dream, of only what I hope for, yet oblivious to the blessings I have attained?
I lay beneath the shelter, blanketed by the starry sky, counting every second unconsciously. If only I can skip the time, I can avoid the pain of waiting. . .
