Alex Band’s (the Calling) debut solo album.
Please please PLEASE come out soon. I’m begging you! You are torturing me with the demo versions of ‘Tonight’ and ‘Please’ on your official website! T.T
Random trivia: I have the same birthday as Alex Band! 8th of June!
MONDAY: Guitar lesson as usual, ah but this day had a little extra kick to it. I took the Vios and drove myself (ALONE KAY!) to class. I didn’t bang into anything nor had any near death experiences while I was on the road (thanks to boss’s ‘remember to look out for stationary objects’ reminder wor.. Lol).
I never knew driving alone was that much fun! XD I wish I could do it more but mum is sorta paranoid, as in psychotic rapist lurking within the parking bays, bad people with big parangs who knock into me intentionally and wait for me to get down from the car and drive it away etc. Sigh. Sometimes I wonder if I should really live my life in fear. I don’t know. I like doing stuff alone, walking alone, taking public transportation alone. Everyone always tells me that its dangerous but I guess I’m the kind who’d never learn till I really come face to face with the devil himself. *shrugs*
Anyways, I seriously do wipe my guitar every time after playing! T.T I swear. To my teacher: You wouldn’t believe how I’m wiping it now after you ‘accused’ me of not wiping it even after you told me to. =P I even wipe underneath the strings! And each strings separately too. Wipe many many times! Sigh. Bloody sweaty palms of mine. Salt in my sweat reacts with the phosphorus bronze strings and results in some oxidization or whatever! Chemistry eeyuck!
TUESDAY: Hmm. What did I do on Tuesday? OH! Went to Bukit Bintang with Janet and Fishy after Janet passed her driving test! And we watched ‘Transformers’ again (Fishy and I)! Sigh. This crowd was kinda sad. I think it was only Fishy and I laughing like mad at every single thing remotely funny. =P But the movie was still great all the same.
WEDNESDAY: Went to Mid Valley with mum for grocery shopping and I, khaki pants. I haven’t been wearing khakis since like Form 2 and from then on was jeans all the way. Went to Miss Selfridge and saw a grey one but didn’t bring my member card thingy so I decided to get it another day.
TL Hot Wind t. Bought this for 20 bucks! This was on half price. It was under the ‘no trying’ rack but the nice shop assistant was lenient. 
TL army green khakis. There’s these two strings beneath each side of the pockets and they looked stupid when tied up in a ribbon or just left dangling so I just stuffed it inside the pockets. Hope they don’t pop out after walking for some time. =P
Radioactive 2 for RM 30 tees! I know they are the same pattern but cheap mar. =P
Oh oh! This one was on half price too! Cost me RM45 bucks.
Bloody! Am I getting fat! I had to get either L or size 10 for me to feel more comfortable in those pants (I was a size 8 during CNY.) Noooooooooooooo! I need to stop snacking every night! Make my big fat arse a bit smaller!
Maggots look alike but they taste NICE! XD
Culprits
Oh and after I came back? I kicked myself on the right foot with my left foot (with shoes still on!). I was like ouch and thought I felt something like my toenail being lifted off or something. But it seemed fine until 5 seconds later a little blood came oozing out onto my socks. =P
Lol! It doesn’t look very serious but you can see the dent marks (and caked blood on the sides. Hope you puke your food out!). Cool! XD
This is my closes encounter to ever having my nails ripped off. I so can’t play basketball now looking at the length of my nails. I never really knew how dangerous it was up till now. =P But I need nails for guitar wor. Guitar, basketball, guitar, basketball. Yang mana? I want both! Bah.
THURSDAY: Hmmm. Think I stayed at home all day coz the renovation people continued their job as the supplies had arrived.
This was how my house looked last week. It’s much messier now.
FRIDAY: Went to Mid Valley (yes, again) for dinner and grocery shopping (since we’re there already, get that grey pants as well).
THANK GOD I DIDN’T BRING MY MEMBER CARD ON TUESDAY COZ YESTERDAY THEY WERE ON SALE AND THAT GREY PANTS WAS ON THAT 50% off RACK! XD *hallelujah* But there was no more size 10 and only size 8 left. It is a very obvious sign from whoever is watching over me to DIET! I bought it anyways. Motivation to cut down my food intake. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I wish!
Really nice light and comfy t shirts and it’s RM25.90 each only (well, considering the fact its from Zara.)
TODAY (SATURDAY): Going to have a dinner buffet with my relatives of my mum’s side (get to kacau Ian again! XD).
So basically this whole week consisted of shopping sprees and pigging out. How uneventful (no, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is not an exciting event at all. *yawns*). Mid Valley AGAIN tomorrow to see Master Fishy do her stuff at the US education fair thingy!
Mid Valley Megamall, a place to call my second home.

Finally got to watch ‘Transformers’ today!
I was so hyped when Meng Jian (who is back from Taiwan) messaged me on MSN to meet up at Mid Valley and WATCH TRANSFORMERS’! Oh yea! I even had to text Daniel to see whether I could have class start half an hour later coz’ Wey Chii couldn’t make it in time for the 1.30pm show and the show was 2 hours and 21 minutes long (wait! what long! SHORT!).
Went at 12pm to get the tickets first. The bigger box was already sorta full, only 4 rows from the front left to choose our seats from. Luckily, there was a second box and managed to get our 4 seats in the 2nd last row. Seriously, what is wrong with our Malaysian population! Don’t those adults have to work? And teens go to school or young adults to uni? I mean, I know that there’s people on holiday but this is just outrageous! Cinema having long queues almost every single day! Very very weird I tell you!
We had pizza for lunch at Pizza Hut (duh. 
).
Was a bit late coz the show had already started when we went in. The show was just so freaking awesome and hilarious! And I was lucky enough to watch it with a crowd that know how to appreciate good humour (pity you Jingy, laughing by yourself, you should have watched with me today, then you could have laughed to your heart’s content). This crowd was quite horny too coz they all laughed extremely longer and louder at the part where Ratchet was introducing himself to Sam about the mating part. Lmao!
Man. Robots never looked that good. Even the bad ones! Decepticons! Wait, I think usually the bad ones look nicer. Lol. Wish there was even more action from Optimus Prime though coz he’s the one I really remember (played too much with bro’s toy of him, the one which you can change him into a truck and back into a robot again which is way cool! wonder where the toy is now. saw them selling it at Toycity and it costs like a few hundred bucks man!).
The show should have been longer! This is definitely one of the best movies of the year, beating the hell out of POTC3 and Spiderman3! And I could have enjoyed it even more if I didn’t have to keep looking at the time (4.30pm guitar class). The show ended at 4.28pm and I couldn’t even stay for the after credits scenes.
Sprinted all the way to the toilet to spit out the horrible chewing gum I had in my mouth the whole movie which had turned to mush (never eat Extra’s chewing gum with Smints at the same time, it turns the gum into yucky gooey I-donno-what-to-call-it-other-than-mush. ew.). Walked terribly fast until I was sorta out of breath (I am so unfit. bla.) and when I reached the music centre, my teacher wasn’t even there yet! Aiyo! Should have finished watching first. Shucks.
Anyways! I was on a ‘Transformers’ high that I told my teacher ‘TRANSFORMERSSSSSSSS!’ and nodded my head FURIOUSLY like a little kid when he asked me what show I watched and whether it was good (usually our conversations basically consists of him talking and me answering in one syllable, usually ‘oh’s,’mm’s, ‘no’s, and ‘yes’s, or worse just staring at him blankly. Lol!). I could have went on a full throttle babble on how good the movie was if only I could make myself open my mouth more.
Yes, like everyone who has watched it says, I am sooooooooo going to watch it again and a few times more and a GAZILLION TIMES MORE IF I HAD THAT MUCH TIME LEFT IN THIS LIFE OF MINE!
*Hums ‘transformers… more than meets the eye….’*
As usual, I was going to read a few chapters of Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ before I sleep (meaning around 2a.m) and I’ve sort of picked up this bad habit of snacking while I do, be it Rocky’s or chocolates. Last night (okay lar, this MORNING) I caught the pack of unfinished Japanese milk chocolate DARS out of the corner of my eye.
I proceeded to grab the box unsuspectingly.
I knew there were only three pieces left and therefore attempted to shake them out. They did not budge which was weird because usually they’d just slide right out.
So, I pulled out the paper-cardboard-ish thingy out of the wrapper.
AND WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID I SEE?!?!?!?!?
A freaking dark-chocolatey-black-disgusting lizard with huge-black-beady eyes on the cardboard thingy staring back at me! T.T
It didn’t move and neither did I. I was practically in shock and stunned for around 5 seconds before letting go of the box and wrapper which landed on my comforter. The stupid lizard flew out and too landed on my comforter. I think it was in a real shock too coz it didn’t budge after another 5 seconds of me giving it a chance to fly (like experienced lizzies normally do when they kena caught), land with a ‘plop’ and just disappear out of my sight. But nooooooooooooooooo, it just lay there.
With the little courage I gathered during the 5 seconds interval, I shoved the whole comforter onto the floor hoping that the lizard would unstuck itself off my comforter and get lost. BUT, with my ’skillful’ shoving, I made my comforter all crumpled up which sorta meant if the lizzie hadn’t jumped off during the split second before the comforter landed in a bunch, it would be trapped, inside the pile, or worse yet, BE SEVERELY FRACTURED, DIE STILL GLUED TO MY COMFORTER! Ew!
Anyways, I ran out of ‘courage’ and decided to just go to bed without having a security blanket over me. But then, I couldn’t sleep soundly the whole night because I was afraid that my mum would come into my room, assume that I kicked my comforter onto the floor, PICK IT UP AND COVER IT OVER ME! The HORROR! Therefore, I was half-awake and cold the whole night.
I woke at 7a.m. grateful to find the comforter still exactly where I left it. Groggily, I got a clean comforter from the cupboard in my parents room and went back to sleep, knowing that my mum wouldn’t be that crazy to cover me up in TWO comforters.
Woke up 3 hours later and left the comforter in a pile. While I was practicing my guitar, mum came in and asked why the comforter was on the floor. Told her to shake it (after I was standing on top of my bed, safely away from any contact I might come in with the lizard during my mum’s shaking).
Turns out it wasn’t there anymore, well, nothing dropped out after my mum un-piled it. I never did check it thoroughly though. Maybe it might be stuck, dried up, hardened. Ugh.
Not a really dramatic ending but whatever.
I think someone up there wants me to heed my mum’s advice: sleep early and stop snacking in the middle of the night.
I hate lizards.
