I wondered what happened to him. It's not like him to shut his phone just like that. I was a little worried so I tried calling again but the result is still the same. I went online to check whether his FB chat is on or not but it's not on either. So I went back to sleep (just like that...hahaha!) but I wasn't really sleeping. I was disrupted from my beauty sleep. So I just rolled on my bed for a moment, texting everybody asking what are they doing, did a few calls and then rolled again. It was raining then (hah! how's Henry gonna jog now I thought. Might be all wet and sexy running around Bukit Padang track...hahahaha!)
It was raining so hard and then I started to get bored. I planned to get that tattoo done but my cousin has left home earlier, mom wasn't around, dad is nowhere in sight and I was all alone. :( to make things worse, the electricity went out. I was stranded at home doing nothing, feeling lonely and kinda scared myself with stupid Korean/Japanese ghost story thoughts. No thanks to the horror DVD's I've been watching. And obviously, the nonstop lightning followed by loud thunders wasn't helping at all.
After a while, thank God mom was home, opened up the gate, cousin's back too, and then mom said we had to drive all the way to Tamparuli to fetch the drunk boss. Sigh. When will my old man quit drinking. He's eating pills like - I don't know. But then he's still drinking. Such a waste of money for medicines. So I had no choice but to agree, and I took a quick shower and left the house with my hair wet covered in towel like a bun. Yes, I went out that way. Guess what, as soon as I stepped out, the electricity went on. God must hate me very, very, very much. >:/
We drove all the way to Tamparuli and Jesus! The jam was so terrible. I was able to take some photos of the massive jam while my mother was driving.
So deep. I wonder how that car across the road got out. Maybe s/he waited for it to subside?
Saw something different there? Stupid car, brainless driver! What was he thinking anyway??!! Well. What can I say. Of course the road would be like so freaking jam with these kind of drivers around. My ears was full with my mom's long nags on "haiya! see?? see?? that's why i hate driving when it rains.", "look, look, haiya. car also will spoil la.", "your father ah, haih! bla3.............."... God.
In the end, we reached our destination after following Tuaran road approximately at 7.30p.m since 5p.m. My butt was already boiling hot egg for sitting so long doing nothing. Then the long drive back began and we reached beautiful KK once again by 9p.m. :) by then, I've already reached Kent (called his mom...was so nervous...!) but then finally he got on and I yelled, BIG TIME. >:D seemed that he sent his phone for repair, but never got to tell me. That boy ah. But then no harm has happened, therefore; I forgave him. :) But if he do it again... *evil sneer*
Oh ya. Something stupid happened after we reached KK. Me and my cousin was so hungry after the long trip, the kind of hunger that even Maggi wouldn't satisfy us anymore, so we dropped by at Foh Sang to eat. So I had the below conversation with the shop's Lao ban.
Lao ban : Hi liang moi! Ni yao chi shen me?
Me : Gei wo chao mien, bu yao hai sien.
Lao ban : *looking at my cousin* Liang zai? chi shen me ar? wo men you bla3 bla3... (introducing menu in rapid chinese)
Cousin : *looked at me blankly* kasi sama saja la.
Me : Lao ban, chao mien liang tie, yi ge chan-chan.
*the girl who's supposed to be in charge of drinks came*
Girl : Moi, minum apa?
*lao ban suddenly interfered in our conversation*
Lao ban : Ni yao gan de hai shi shui de? (or at least this was what I've heard... And I was too embarrassed to ask the second time on what he meant, so I just went on) Oh. Gei wo limung shui ping, liang bei.
Lao ban : Wo men mei you shui bla3... (can't hear him... I think this was what I heard)
Me : Oh. (I didn't hear him... I don't understand! But I wanted to look cool. So I just replied "oh".) *looking at the drink counter.* Gei wo bai shui la.
Lao ban : ??? *walking towards the cook but still looking at me*
*the cook came*
Cook : Amoi ah. Dia tanya kalau kau mau mi goleng kau basa atau keling ah. Sebab kau cakap mi goleng saja, nanti kami tak tau mi goleng basah atau keling...
Me : Oh. Ohhh. Kering. Kering. *looking at my cousin*
Cousin : *smiling*
Cook : Ok ok. *walking away*
Me : *looking at my cousin* patutlah tu lao ban tengok saya saja. Dia tanya saya mau mi kering atau basah saya pula balik-balik kasitau dia apa minuman! xD
It was so silly. I felt so embarrassed. Not only did I fail to give a good impression of OCBC (orang cina bukan cina), I screwed up by acting cool; combo-ed by humiliation to myself for being stupid to WANT to act cool. I also caught the lao ban talking to the workers while looking at me a few times. It's so obvious what are they talking about. And the smile he got on his face can just send me running instantly - if only I didn't have a plate of good fried noodles on the table and if only my stomach wasn't grumbling. I'm a famous customer for that shop now huh. Pfft. Moral of the story? If you can't talk, better just zip it! :D
But seriously, I'm never eating there for the next few months. I'm too embarrassed. I can just bury my head in the ground like an ostrich in case I saw that lao ban anywhere. It was overall silly. It gave me and my cousin something to laugh about on the way home anyway. :) Silly silly.
Well, that's all it I guess. It was a boring Sunday to start with, but then we ended uo pretty good. Expecting more silly things to come... Not! Hahaha. Gotta go for now. Will be updating my blog again soon. Bye! :)
