Happy belated Wesak Day!
It was a holiday, so I decided to go out with Chang Min for a "musical" outing. TEH HEH. I brought along my guitar for he asked me to go to a park near KLCC to play music and sing for fun, while studying English, Korean and Bio just in case. XD
I was really excited! It's my first time someone actually spent time with me to make music with them, so with my guitar safely packed in the padded case (which is a little weird because it doesn't have a strap.. like a handbag hahahahaha) and my Bio notes slit into the bag, I headed out with my dad to Kelana Jaya.
*The first person to ask me to play with them is Huan Hee :3 I'm still very touched.*
We stopped by this restaurant nearby, where we'd appointed to meet. I was looking around absently, wondering where he was then suddenly he knocked the window and waved. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. XD
My dad sent us to the Kelana Jaya LRT station and from there, we took the LRT to KLCC. On the LRT it was really cold! I didn't know it was so strongly air-conditioned. So we talked and talked about stuff.
It's really easy to forget he's 20.
He let me listen to his current favourite song, an old Korean song by Yun Jae Ha. Then he let me listen to a recording of his voice singing that song... NGEE. It was really good, but the fact that he let me listen to it and said "don't laughing, please" touched me more.
He decided that we should have a breakfast of roti canai at the third floor of KLCC, so we walked at a slow pace, taking our time. He led the way, and we filled up the space between us with wholehearted smiles, confusing but fascinating conversations and awkward courtesy. We went up to the food court where we went to a shop named Hameed's Nasi Kandar to have their roti canai and honey chicken. It was a bit mahal tapi sangat sedap :D I asked him which sauce he likes with his roti canai, and he said... "curry" XD so he got fish curry and I got dhal. He told me that he checked Ampang Park out, and it wasn't too safe. Therefore, we had to change the whole plan, and there were just so many possibilities in KL, no? He then said he's looked up the Ampang area online, so rajin hahahaha. Apparently there's a little Korean town in Ampang somewhere, so we had a rough plan to go there. Don't know how, but we could always figure it out right :D
I told him my sauce was called dhal, like "foot" in Korean (pahl) but with a d. And then he told me, "dahl" in Korean means moon. HAHAHA. He liked the dhal more than the curry in the end.
Fish in Korean is cham-chi!
Cloud is kurum, star is byeol and moon is dahl.
After that, we headed to Juice Works because I've been craving one of their creations since I went out with Leanne to MidValley and bought a Pink Passion or something. It was wonderful. He picked out Berry Burst and insisted on paying, but my stubbornness got me to pay for half of everything we bought from then onwards. Hahaha.
Then we walked down the escalators, where we saw this girl/guy? wearing pink. When I asked him what he thought of homosexuality a while before, he said, and I quote, "Well everybody.. has their own love style." EEEE. :D "But I don't like boy!" HAHAHA.
So then he quipped to me, "Do you like strong girl?" while nudging in her direction. And I was like, NO. XD I like cute girls more, hahaha. To demonstrate, I did a horrible impersonation of a lala pose hahahaha! And he understood.
We also came across this whole group of tadika students probably out on a field trip. They were blocking an escalator because someone in front was hesitating at getting on the escalator.
Have you ever been scared like that when you were younger? Scared of getting on the escalator, the yellow lines chasing after each other so quickly that you were sure you couldn't put one foot between safely. I've been scared of escalators XD I told him that, and waited for them to go, smiling at their attempts. In the end, most of them had to use the lift.
Mind you, I was still lugging the guitar around hahaha!
We finally walked out of KLCC. He asked around about how to get to Little Koreantown but everyone was like, "Huh?" and couldn't really take the time to understand his words, but they had a vague idea and kept directing us to the other side of the road that had buses to take us to Ampang. Even when we asked a taxi driver, (where he offered us a ride there for RM20) he too directed us to the opposite side of the road; so we politely refused him and sat for a while, mulled it over then finally crossed the road hahahaha. Sorry taxi driver!
Whatever happens, the buses always come back to the same stations. So we took a bus from KLCC to Ampang Point, which was empty when we got on board. Then I dunno what happened, but I started talking to the bus lady, an Indonesian lady named Elly. She was very cordial and chatted us up, talking about the Korean currency, roti canai and Sumatera. And Ampang :D hahaha! She wore this thick dark blue polo shirt with a light long-sleeved shirt beneath it. She had a black pouch around her waist and wore nondescript black trousers. With her glasses perched a bit low, she had to raise her head a little when talking to me or Chang Min.
OHHH The cutest Korean couple ever got on the bus! The girl was very fair and petite, wearing a beige shirt that flattered her complexion, pink cheeks and fine dark brown hair. The boy was wearing a green striped polo shirt but thank goodness tak pop his collar like arrogant pricks. (No offence if you think you aren't an arrogant prick but pop your collar anyway.) He wore these big black full-frame glasses that looked so incredibly quirky and cute at the same time and they got on holding hands, EEEE :D They took a seat at the back of the bus.
An Iranian lady also came onboard, with an old Chinese lady with permed, snow white hair following behind. So with these few passengers, we started our way to Ampang Point. When we got there, I didn't know until Elly prompted me XD so we got off, along with the cute Korean couple. Chang Min was like, "Follow them, follow them hahaha". So we followed them, but we pretended to be stalkers and waited till they were a distance away. We followed them up the jejantas, when we saw this sleeping old man without half his left forearm lying down on a piece of cardboard with a plastic cup in front of him. I looked for my purse, fumbling around for a while, found some coins and put it in his cup while Chang Min put one ringgit in. HEE. :) We walked on and suddenly realized that we lost the Korean couple hahahahaha! What lousy stalkers we make.
We caught a glimpse of them as they turned in to a road behind, but we went our own way. So we wandered around, still talking about stuff hahaha. I wasn't too impressed if this miserable row with three Korean restaurants was called Koreantown. XD So we were walking the empty row, then we turned in, walked straight ahead and then saw on our left AND right, rows full of Korean shops, a mamak, libraries, everything! There was a bank, a church, a school nearby, apartments and even a supermarket! OMG, I literally went WUUUUUAAAAHH. Hahahahaha. I was amazed, this really was like a quaint little secluded neighbourhood.
I saw a few students walking past us, wearing pink, green and yellow. I can't really remember. One of them wore those black rimmed glasses and looked me in the eye, so I looked back and nodded politely. Anyway, I turned back and talked to Chang Min. After a while I asked him what they were talking about when they were a bit loud, then he laughingly said "Oh, hahahaha bad word." XD
We went back to Ampang Point, went up to the karaoke because he told me he missed Korean karaoke and asked for a big room for 1 hour which really isn't that big. The audio was horribly loud and deafening but we enjoyed ourselves like mad! You know when the volume is really loud, you cast aside your inhibitions and let your voice loose? Yeah that's what happened hahaha! I even went out to ask the counter lady how to turn the volume down, but the way she told me didn't work HAHAHA. And that one, called Song Box was a corny karaoke where they turn the volume up really loud and the mics have crazy echo effects like in old Malay rock songs. It was amazing. We played I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing and I came out half deaf with that amazingly poignant chorus in my head.
Crazy.
Then we got out, of it and said thank you to the counter lady. OH, I must describe this counter lady. Her face was slender with a feminine mouth. Her hair was cut short, spiked like a boy's and it was reddish pink at the tips. She had piercings on her eyebrow and mouth, and OMG, I don't know why but I found it so sexy hahahahahahhaha! SORRY XD She wore a lazy grin with a cocky expression in her eyes, almost like a confident guy. It was so interesting.
When we got out, I asked Chang Min... "boy or girl?" with a mischievous grin on my face. He looked back a bit, then looked at me and said.. "boy?" XD AHAHAHA. I was like "it's a girl!" And he looked back, slightly puzzled and very much amused. I looked at him incredulously, gestured exaggeratedly that she had boobs and we laughed like crazy as we walked out of Ampang Point and back to Koreantown. When we walked the jejantas, the man was gone.
So next, we visited Lotte Mart and looked at their wares. The Lotte Mart there was more like a supermarket, unlike the one we have in Hartamas which has limited stuff and was like a normal minimarket. We were looking around at the drinks, and I asked him which one was nice. He ummed for a while, opened the fridge and took out this cute little can that read Fanta Shaker Hundle Hundle, with bright orange bursts and cute font. Game, I went along with it and we bought two. The nice soft-looking lady at the counter bid us farewell with a small smile as we smiled radiantly back at her. Outside, Chang Min directed me to shake it hard 10 times, so I did. Then he told me it remains solid if I don't shake it, so I was really curious about the contents and looked away when I opened it in case he tricked me and some orange coke was about to hit me in the face. I shook it pretty well. XD
It didn't burst, so I drank it and OMG, it was heavennnnnnn. It's been such a long time since I had a jelly drink, so I melted and was so happy at the first sip that I took a long draft the second time. They don't have it in Hartamas by the way. :( hahahaha.
Then he called me weird. HAHAHA. Because most people in Korea didn't really like this drink, because pssh, they want drink and not jelly with it, but he quickly says he likes it. So I called him weird too. XD
We ate at a little Korean place that was empty except for us as people just dropped by to buy a few handmade kimpahp and leave. We sat there and he ordered kimpahp, tteok-ko-chi and another thing I forgot, because now I realize I'm in his turf now. He's the one who can speak Korean. Hahahaha. I put the guitar beside me and then we were served soup and our carefully cut kimpahp roll. They gave us those yellow half-pickles that I love and a small dish of cucumber in bright red chilli mixed a bit with clear liquid. He pointed at it and smiled at me cheekily, saying it's like kimchi. I tried and it was a fresh, sort of cool minty chilli that wasn't too spicy and complimented the cucumber perfectly. It was new and lovely!
All in all I fell in love with the kimpahp. PAHHHHP. :D It's a sort of Korean sushi that had cucumber, beef, egg, rice of course and other stuff in it. It was really good.
After that, we went to ANOTHER karaoke because the Ampang one was a bit of a letdown hahaha. We went to a Korean karaoke this time, a small cosy one with lush green cushion padding and dark brown polished wood frames. There was a small bar tucked inside with the bottles arranged neatly and the soft yellow light filtered through them, giving the pace a sort of secluded ambience. It was really nice! There were a few rooms where people were singing, and the uncle there directed us to a waiting area where we listened to the people in the room behind us, they were so funny. XD Chang Min translated bits and pieces and I laughed my butt off. He talked to the uncle about the price and got us a student discount, yay :D RM30 for an hour for two! It's a good deal if you ask me, hee. The uncle looked me up and down at one point with a slightly weird look. I felt very odd but Chang Min was there so I smiled through, he was there to protect me from weird uncles. :D I cheekily said Anhyounghaseyo hahahaha as we walked into our room. I spent the whole hour listening to him sing his favourite songs, all slow ballads with high notes. OH, I loved it. He was having an off day though, so he drank lots of water. Hahaha :D Finally, upon his insistence, I sang Aubrey by Bread. It was just okay and nothing special, but he told me I was good and "the feel was there". Aww.
After that we took another bus to Bintang LRT station in Ampang (which I foolishly thought was Bukit Bintang HAHA) and hitched the STAR LRT to Masjid Jamek and switched to the Putra line back to Kelana Jaya. It took us almost an hour. I didn't know it could take so long. But we had to sit close to each other for it was a three seat bench and an uncle was occupying one seat. NGEE :) we "chatted" to pass the time, which meant scribbling random sentences into his notebook. I tried to sleep but then he wanted to draw my sleepy face, so I slapped myself awake and continued random chatting with him. Hahahaha, he always says things like how are you and I like ___________, it's so cute. He's learning complicated words in British Council, like qualification and economics and antibiotic, I was like WHUUT, kamu belum lagi tahu basicnya D: what lah. I guess I'll leave it up to them if they know what they're doing. I have faith!
Then we went our separate ways after dropping him off.
The next day, my arm LENGUH HABIS. HAHAHA.
My guitar has done a lot of travelling. :)

Lately, I've been reading mangas online. It's so frustrating not being able to draw; I don't know what's come over me, nothing much is inspiring my hand anymore. I want to be better at drawing, but I never have the itch to draw as often as last time.
But again, Tooyama Ema is GOLD. Cliched, but very cute.

Oh. Oh?
Do you think Jack Johnson sings about the same few girls in his life?
I would love love love to know who inspired him to write Angel and Belle.
And Better Together, oh.
But I love his aware, sensitive side too. The News, 3Rs.
Questions is such a cute song!
And Cocoon is oh so lovely.
Traffic in the Sky remains my favourite. I don't know why.
BUT I DIGRESS.
XD
I'd love to know his angel.
Aww. :D

It's a strange little suicide note wrapped in a happy tune and a British accent. But it's cute. :( I should probably go.. think now. XD

So. Exams have been lenient :) I was expecting harder questions, but yeah. They've been pretty good :D
Sejarah and Add Math loom ahead though. WOOHOO :D Good luck.

I went to Kechara's Wesak Day Fair today. We took 15 orphans to enjoy temselves there for a few hours. I saw Chang Min :DD It's a bit frustrating to only see him on Saturdays and not have full conversations at that :( maybe I'll see him again tomorrow. :D Maybe.
He invited me out to practise singing and teach me Korean.
I wanna go. XD
xxx
Before going to the fair, we actually visited a home for the handicapped. It was really humbling, seeing most of them lying on the floor with legs as skinny as poles and their feet pointing out at unnatural angles. Some just sat with blank expressions, others ran around like little happy kids. Most of them were with autism or Down's syndrome, but there are also some orphans in the home. A Chinese man came out and greeted us. Slightly handicapped, he greeted us warmly and brought us in to meet Yani, another slightly handicapped person. She was so bubbly and kept shaking our hands, as if forgetting us a few minutes after we've introduced ourselves.
My mom gave a hat to a Chinese girl with mild Down's syndrome, and she was really happy with it. She was really pretty in her own right, with big, dark eyes, soft hair and really fair skin. Oh, the skin on her feet were so incredibly soft and smooth. She probably never walked in her life.
Then I went outside and this Indian girl, about 15 and autistic took my hand, pulled me to sit down and then she took both my hands in her warm ones. Her name is Santhi. She had a huge grin on her face, showing her teeth, missing in a few places and jutting out at odd intervals. But it was so wonderful and so real.
"Kak, kakak boleh nyanyi lagu tak?"
"Nyanyi lagu apa?"
And then she starts singing this tune, pulling me up and down, up and down. A few seconds in, I recognized it as Tong Hua and then gosh, terharu sangat :'D My heartstrings were tugged so swiftly and suddenly, the tears NEARLY came out. But then we sang together, and her smile made me smile back and we kept singing with unaffected delight. Well at least on her part. Then we sang Rasa Sayang, Gong Xi Gong Xi, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Old McDonald, I Love You...
"Kak, Kakak nama apa?"
Back and forth, we kept rocking.
"Nama saya Alex, adik nama apa?"
She hugs me.
"Nama saya Santhi..... kakak, kak nama apa?"
And it repeats.
She's so cute. :)
And then suddenly, another girl pops up beside me, an Indian boy jumped into our cosy circle and plopped himself down on my lap and another girl to my left and we all sang together, like some impromptu choir. Hahahahha, it was really hard to leave them all.
But it was a good experience. :)
I'm thankful that I'm normal.
Truly.
Aren't CHUUUUU :D hahahaha.

There is beauty in the breaking, of a heart.
Broken - Lindsey Haun
xxx
Have I told you about my funny experiences in HSC? I doubt it, but it made me laugh so hard. XD
One whole post coming will DEFINITELY be about the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf family, because they make me laugh till my butt falls off. Yes. LMAO. Don't know how that works, actually.
Okay okay. They make me laugh till my cheeks cramp :D especially a very very cute girl named CASSIE! Paired with Michael, Chris or Illya my stomach sure sakit habis :D
But today I'd like to tell you about a little boy and his mom. If you've never been to HSC, well, there's this shop called Sasa on the top floor that sells cosmetic products, perfume and all that shiznit. They always feature a product like DKNY's Delicious perfume, Britney Spears' perfume Circus and lots more. There will be a huge wall poster with vibrant colour and great quality matching the product to catch people's attention.
So this one time, Sasa featured a product that had a wall poster of this sophisticated cartoon beach girl sporting a colourful striped bikini and a straw hat. She wore a pair of squarish shades, and looked to the side to reveal a slim body and her three quarter profile.
A mother, her little boy of 2 or 3 and a maid with a stroller passed by, just another regular sight in HSC. Suddenly, the little boy jumps up and down excitedly and hops over close to the glass exhibit of the wall poster.
"MA! MA! Ma~"
Then the mom, a bit flustered, takes her child's hand and says, "apa nak? What?"
"Tetek ma~ tetek!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
WTH.
"Oh ya, tetek tetek eh. Okay. Okay, jom kita pergi! Okay?"
And the little boy lets the mom drag him away but still jumping up and down, he says "tetek! Tetek!" like he was genuinely happy that he could identify it.
SO CUTE, HAHAHAHAHAHA.
I couldn't believe my ears at first when he said it.
Great progress little boy. WOOT.

6 months?
It feels like a whole damn lifetime without her already and you're telling me it's been 6 months. ONLY.
Well.... 6 down, a whole life to go.
Aish.
So I'm gonna dedicate a post to her. Ummm.... it'll be rather stupid and long, so I'd rather you didn't read. Don't say I didn't warn you and warded you off.
Okay?
Okay. Deep breath.
xxx
Hi Chandni. It's been really long without you here... mm. I've been making new friends left right and center, so it's been okay. And OMG, it's been getting so busy I SWEAR I'm being avalanched. I've just studied a whole subject today, and I'm gonna knock 'em off one by one as the exams come closer. Oh, they're just breathing down my neck like monsters with... huge nostrils.
Pn Liew is my Add Math teacher. She's just started on trigonometry, haha! The one you always get frustrated over. Sorry I never got it then. XD Thanks for making me get it.
You remember that day we were walking back up to class from God knows what, and you actually took my shoulder and gave me a reassuring hug? I love that day. It's imprinted in my mind, the dampness of the air, the secludedness of the corridor, how we were like off in our own world. I think it's because it's the first time you ever hugged me without warning. It was wonderful.
Well.... first and last, hahaha.
*SLAPS SELF* So depressing hahahahaha.
I'm writing a letter and burning it in front of you, if I ever visit your place-where-ashes-are-put. NO ONE IS TELLING ME WHERE IT IS. I'm still very frustrated hahahaha.
Wye Zhi and I have made up. In fact, yesterday we went to celebrate by eating at a restaurant called Room Eighteen. We had lots of fun and laughter at the table! :) it's an unexpected circle of friends, but you know. People adapt. :)
I wish I could come up with more unimportant small talk, but frankly I don't pay attention anymore. It's like the world is there and I'm.. not. I'm just drifting around, still cacatedly coming to terms with you being gone and all. Ugh, I'm taking so bloody long. WAI.
You remember DBSK? :D well now I know a person named Chang Min, hahaha! He's a really sweet guy, that's a bit childish in nature but oh, when he opens his mouth and sings, I could melllltttt. Sometimes he also flashes signs of maturity and hints at hidden depths. It's been amazing so far, and I want to get to know him more.
Cookie cutter's still a big fat puzzle. I'm trying to get to know him deeper and understand him and why he's so jaded in some ways. He's so.. fascinating.
I really want to know how you are right now.. if the streets of heaven really are paved with gold or if you'd be the interior designer of your own pad. XD And maybe you've met people like En Salleh (that'd be weird, so very weird), your grandma, your brother? Perhaps you've grown too.
And OMG, maybe you've straightened your hair HAHAHAHA. Don't please! I'd have loved to see it long but NEVER STRAIGHT, hahaha! That'd be odd. Curly hair is your thang, and you pull it off well.
It's sad that you never turned sixteen. You were so close... I cried the day you passed away, partly because you didn't get to Christmas Day. I'd thought that you'd have made it at the very least, till then. But oh well. :) you'll forever be sweet in your fifteens. :D
Mmm.. there are a lot more to say. I think I'd just write 'em down lah. Expect my letter soon, SQUEEE :D I wonder where your ashes are. Maybe in a river or on a mountain in the Himalayas, like on The Bucket List. Or maybe with your mom? ARH, my head.
See you then.
The one who toohs you, Alex.
P.S. I love you!
Well.... 6 down, a whole life to go.
Aish.
So I'm gonna dedicate a post to her. Ummm.... it'll be rather stupid and long, so I'd rather you didn't read. Don't say I didn't warn you and warded you off.
Okay?
Okay. Deep breath.

Hi Chandni. It's been really long without you here... mm. I've been making new friends left right and center, so it's been okay. And OMG, it's been getting so busy I SWEAR I'm being avalanched. I've just studied a whole subject today, and I'm gonna knock 'em off one by one as the exams come closer. Oh, they're just breathing down my neck like monsters with... huge nostrils.
Pn Liew is my Add Math teacher. She's just started on trigonometry, haha! The one you always get frustrated over. Sorry I never got it then. XD Thanks for making me get it.
You remember that day we were walking back up to class from God knows what, and you actually took my shoulder and gave me a reassuring hug? I love that day. It's imprinted in my mind, the dampness of the air, the secludedness of the corridor, how we were like off in our own world. I think it's because it's the first time you ever hugged me without warning. It was wonderful.
Well.... first and last, hahaha.
*SLAPS SELF* So depressing hahahahaha.
I'm writing a letter and burning it in front of you, if I ever visit your place-where-ashes-are-put. NO ONE IS TELLING ME WHERE IT IS. I'm still very frustrated hahahaha.
Wye Zhi and I have made up. In fact, yesterday we went to celebrate by eating at a restaurant called Room Eighteen. We had lots of fun and laughter at the table! :) it's an unexpected circle of friends, but you know. People adapt. :)
I wish I could come up with more unimportant small talk, but frankly I don't pay attention anymore. It's like the world is there and I'm.. not. I'm just drifting around, still cacatedly coming to terms with you being gone and all. Ugh, I'm taking so bloody long. WAI.
You remember DBSK? :D well now I know a person named Chang Min, hahaha! He's a really sweet guy, that's a bit childish in nature but oh, when he opens his mouth and sings, I could melllltttt. Sometimes he also flashes signs of maturity and hints at hidden depths. It's been amazing so far, and I want to get to know him more.
Cookie cutter's still a big fat puzzle. I'm trying to get to know him deeper and understand him and why he's so jaded in some ways. He's so.. fascinating.
I really want to know how you are right now.. if the streets of heaven really are paved with gold or if you'd be the interior designer of your own pad. XD And maybe you've met people like En Salleh (that'd be weird, so very weird), your grandma, your brother? Perhaps you've grown too.
And OMG, maybe you've straightened your hair HAHAHAHA. Don't please! I'd have loved to see it long but NEVER STRAIGHT, hahaha! That'd be odd. Curly hair is your thang, and you pull it off well.
It's sad that you never turned sixteen. You were so close... I cried the day you passed away, partly because you didn't get to Christmas Day. I'd thought that you'd have made it at the very least, till then. But oh well. :) you'll forever be sweet in your fifteens. :D
Mmm.. there are a lot more to say. I think I'd just write 'em down lah. Expect my letter soon, SQUEEE :D I wonder where your ashes are. Maybe in a river or on a mountain in the Himalayas, like on The Bucket List. Or maybe with your mom? ARH, my head.
See you then.
The one who toohs you, Alex.
P.S. I love you!
An apology
OKAY. First off I'd like to say I'm sorry because my posts are all so emo emo and always related to Chandni somehow. I'm sorry. I know it's depressing. I know it's not the usual light fluffy blog stuff. I know it's getting a bit draggy. I know it's so like "UGHHHH" when you see a happy post with an emo emo ending. I KNOW OKAY. Although no one's said it.
SORRY LOH.
XD
I hope you understand that this is the perfect outlet for these feelings, because at least half my readers know her and have come to love her strength and tenacity and fighting spirit.
I know I have.
I know new readers will be like, WHUUUT when they see a foreign name and don't know the heartfelt backstory that has made me who I am today. I can't possibly say that she passed away each post, like, AMIRITE.
Aiyo, I'm sounding like a complete bimbo airhead emptycan. Laugh with me, if you understand. XD
Her presence was kind of like the sun and the capricious wind of my 17 years or so. She warmed me, she opened me up like a timid flower. She swept in, dancing the freaking tango and made me feel so alive in that period of time that I could actually talk and laugh along with her and her lame jokes and her awesome trigonometry skills when I forget what the hell soh cah toa is. (Sock a bloody toe in it for all I care. PSSH, trig.) But now I love it, and she's there with me in spirit whenever I need help with trigonometry. She'll be in my head, yelling exasperatedly "SINE IS OPPOSITE OVER HYPOTENUSE ARHHH!" And I'd smile and figure it out from there.
Yeah. All my posts have something to do with her. So I'm really sorry.
I just hope that you can cope with me. Cope together with me. Or just cope.
Or else.. you can go visit the other blogs on my friend list :) leave me be to emo emo. Hahahahaha.
And as they say it in China, ARRRIIIIIIIIIVEDERCI
Whee. Copa, copacabana! XD
Sorry. A little trippy tonight.
SORRY LOH.
XD

Why can't I love you in slow motion?

Hmmm :) Chang Min gave me this song.
I love it.
People're just giving me more and more songs by the day, I'm so happy! And maybe, sometime soon, I'll be playing the guitar together with a certain friend of mine :D I hope I will!
xxx
There was a photoshoot today. It was damn tiring :D I ran up and down to look for people! And then there was some getting to know you deeper time with Dushanth :) I hope I helped, even if it's just a little bit by listening to his frustrations.
Well, only part of his problems..
Just a small slice.
HUHHHH. But I still hope I helped.
Then Pn Yong singled me out for not doing so much work today :/ you know the feeling when you're unappreciated? Yeahhh.
But I know what I did, so I ain't gonna make her see what I do. It's so insignificant lah. :)
Instead, I'll take it as a lesson and double the amount of work I do during tomorrow's photoshoot session! WOOT POSITIVE THINKING :D
xxx
Oh, why can't I really get to know you, and love you right? ...You left too soon.

사랑, 사랑.

Have you ever heard a Korean ballad?
If you haven't, you should check out Love, That Cruel Disease by Wheesung. He does mostly R&B, but this one is really good. I love it! It's really sad and builds up into one really really high note, it almost made me melt.
Anyway, if you have heard a Korean ballad before, hang on. You'll see why I asked later :)
xxx
Yesterday, I went to pack food at Kechara, a modern Buddhist organization somewhere in Sunway Mas or something like that. I went last week too :) they pack food like bread, biscuits, water and oranges into plastic bags and then distribute them to the homeless regularly. I just went along when I heard from Ma that we're helping the homeless.
We went with Chang Min both times, so yesterday we had really nice conversations although his English was really basic. OMG, he's so bloody cute when he tries to make me understand, 'cause he looks away for a while, scratching his head while scrunching his nose up EEEEEEEE :D :D then looks me in the eye and tells me what he has to say.
While we were packing, we occasionally crossed eyes and he'd smile so wide, I can't help but smile back too. After that, we hung out for a while, while waiting for them to gather so that we could start saying a little chant of hope for the needy people out there. Chang Min and Chloe played like little kids, then Chloe napped a bit on my lap while he napped a bit on a chair. Hahahahahaha. It was late, I dozed off for a while too.
They gave us a laminated piece of paper that we could read out from, and Chang Min could read well. It's just he doesn't understand it fully, so he's on his way to good English! :D
After that, we went to eat a bit because we were waiting for Chang Min's dad to call Ma after he had reached the LRT station nearby. So we were trading little pieces of ourselves through basic English, lots of gestures and radiant smiles. He likes Milo, he's going for British Council lessons, he likes One Piece and also likes drawing... and teaches me Korean. Pang moggoso :D
Then I asked him to sing, in the car so that I can hear his voice and gauge his awesomeness.
He sang two Korean ballads with his powerful voice, and he went like REALLY HIGH
And his voice is like honey.
Ohhh.
If you've heard a Korean ballad, it was just like a studio recording! His voice didn't need any alteration or any fancy shmancy things to make it sound better, he just felt it and sang. It was like he was in his own world, though he was conscious of his voice and pitching. He never went off-key and it was amazing.
I fell in love with him and his voice at the first line he said.
And even more when he sang a Clay Aiken song and sang "give a little kiss". *faints*
So there you go. Look out for Moon Chang Min, people.
Hahahaha. XD

You and me found something pretty neat.
Valentine - Kina Grannis

SHE IS SO CUTE
:DDD
OMG OMG OMG
Hahahahaha. I watched a dozen of her videos and fell in love with her personality, her smile and her amazing voice and songwriting skills.
SKILLZ, yo.
Hahahaha :D I never thought she'd be so candid and nice!
She started off on Youtube, so amazing. She makes tutorials and encourages people to cover her songs, and the way she conveys things is very easy to understand and funny. I now know how to play two of her songs. :D Her lyrics are sincere and heartfelt, it goes straight for your heart and warms it right up.
:)

I don't take orders, I'm not yours.

To go further (if one day I finally summon the guts) will be really really nice and amazing, but there are too many complications with all the people that want you and seemingly own you through their actions. Actions speak louder than words right, though they deny it so fiercely? I will not tie you up, I will not smother. I will take you as you are, I'll listen to whatever you have to say and whatever you feel. I'll be there. But I do think we found us something pretty neat.
I love the way we can just talk. XD stupid, but there you go.
I miss having someone to talk to. Nobody connected with me like you did.
Chandni.... it's raining, and I'm thinking of you. ♥
