Ten Things that Happened Since My Last Post

1) The weekend shift:

Watched some movies, went on Tumblr, answered a few phone calls, earned a couple hundred bucks. It was pretty great.

2) The next three weekdays:

Wake up too early, eat a lot, work a lot, sleep a lot. I was in bed at six o'clock on most days, I think. It was pretty exhausting. I had no time to Tumblr or blog or anything. Ian had started his training, so he sat with me and listened to some calls.

3) Dinner at Outback:

My bosses cancelled at the last minute, but that just meant that I had more money to spend on other stuff. Also, I had already eaten at the Outback Steakhouse with my brothers and my dad and Corinna on Wednesday. It was really tasty, and thankfully she is attractive. I was worried because before she came I had been picturing her as a pretty person and then I realized that she might not be one and then I'd be disappointed, so I tried to lower my expectations but I couldn't picture an ugly German twenty-year-old, so I kept picturing her as pretty and I'm glad that I wasn't disappointed.

4) Chilean miner rescue:

Chi Chi Chi!

Le Le Le!

Los mineros de Chile!

5) Thursday out with Hannah and Corinna and Jan:

We went to the KL tower first. We parked for free (in the city!) at this place near this two-way road that looked like a one-way road. We then walked up a hill (Bukit Nanas) and saw a dude with a monkey. Jan failed to photograph the monkey in time. I took some photographs of the day. They're down near the bottom of this album. Hannah took some pictures, too, but her privacy settings aren't right for strangers to see them.

The KL tower itself was pretty great.

We decided that we'd go up to the observation deck. Hannah got me to pay for her ticket.

We stayed there for quite a while. They had these headset-video combination guides that would tell you a little bit about what you could see from each window. That was pretty cool. After I was done with the guides I went out to look at stuff through the binoculars. I found our house.

Jan didn't believe that I could see our balcony from there, so I called my dad and told him to walk onto the balcony, then I passed the phone to Jan and I went to look through the binoculars. The exact moment our dad walked on the balcony, I told Jan. Then he believed me. My dad started waving and I could see that. I let Jan and Corinna have a look, too. My dad waved Jan's green underwear to make himself more visible.

After that we mostly looked used the binoculars to find rooftop pools. The first one we found had two women with bikinis on it. That was the best one.

After we were done playing with the binoculars on the roof and looking around a lot, we left the observation deck. I hung around outside the elevator staring at the roof, which was awesome.

From now on in this post I think I'll leave all but the best pictures out. Just head to my album if you wanna see the cool stuff. I might add them in later but I'll probably be too tired.

Anyway, we went down to the zoo at the bottom of the tower. There's a zoo there, and admittance is free if you've bought a ticket to the observation deck. I knew it was going to be awesome when a bunch of guys carrying this giant python came past us at the entrance. Also at the entrance were a bunch of prairie dogs and a naked mole rat (Tikus Belanda in Malay, which is more amusing than offensive) and also a parrot that actually talked. It said "Rawk! Hello!". It was fantastic.

Inside the zoo itself were loads of reptiles and spiders and monkeys and tortoises and turtles and stuff. It was awesome. Oh, there was a two-headed turtle. I am not making that up. Also, there were chickens. I'm not sure if they were actual display animals or food for the snakes or whatever, but they were there.

I took some pictures with a snake. I had to take a tiny one because the big ones were RM30 for a photoshoot, whereas the tiny ball python was just RM5. The dude forced it onto Hannah after my time was up, so I had to pony up another five bucks for that. It was worth it for the look on her face, though. My phone ran out of memory after the first picture of me with the snake, so I didn't get to take a picture of Hannah and the snake. Jan did, though.

After the zoo we went back to the car. Along the way I deleted Bad to the Bone and a few remaining songs from the Inception soundtrack to make way for more pictures. We walked past this F1 thing that we could've done for free, but didn't. We also passed a sad monkey.

We took the car to KLCC and parked. Then we went to McDonald's and exploited the free refills which Corinna told us they don't have in Germany. Hannah went to the toilet for a while. We went to the front of the KL towers to take pictures. Mine turned out really nice.

We went to the back of them to play in the park. Hannah wanted to play, but Jan was being a killjoy and he changed her mind. I lost some of my will to play when I got a muscle cramp trying to hang upside down on the monkey bars. Corinna said that the age limit for playgrounds was 13 in Germany, and she hadn't been on one since kindergarten. I was unable to convince her to try again. Playground are great.

Jan started moaning about how lame playgrounds were or something, so we left. Hannah and I spotted some swings so we tried to swing on those, but the security guards nearby were being anal and they started blowing their whistles so we left.

We sat around and watched the fountains, then we took some pictures of the towers at dusk, then we went back into the mall. We were supposed to go back to the front and take some pictures of the front of the tower at night, but I guess we forgot or something because we went to the PetroScience gift shop instead. It's so cool. There is so much cool stuff there. If you want me to be happy with your birthday presents for me, buy them from that gift shop. They have glow-in-the-dark stuff and dinosaur stuff and science stuff and it's all awesome.

After that Jan didn't want to hang out any more and my dad wanted us to go home unless everyone wanted to keep going so we had to go back.

6) Petaling Street:

Traffic was bad, parking was tough. We found two parking places that were both closed at ten, and it was nine-something, so we had to go somewhere else. Fortunately, the parking outside Central Market is open 24 hours, so we parked there.

We is Hannah, Corinna, and me, by the way.

Anyway, I bought a green laser thing (haggled down from RM130 to RM70), a low-quality rubix cube (to RM3 from RM5), a bottle of hand sanitizer from KK Mart, some candy from the same place, a drink also from KK Mart, a bag of mangosteens, and a pair of knockoff Oakley wraparound sunglasses, the same kind as the Chilean miners were wearing when they got out (Bargained down from RM45 to RM18. I got congratulated by one of the dudes in the next stall for managing that). Hannah bought the same drink as me from KK Mart. Corinna's also only purchased stuff from the KK Mart; she got a bunch of postcards.

It was a pretty great store. They had a wanted poster out front for one of their ex-employees. It was for RM2k. I remarked that he must've run off with either the till or the owner's daughter to warrant such a reward. Also, there was this restaurant outside that had, on a stick, the biggest prawn I had ever seen. It was practically a lobster at that size, and it cost lobster-price, too. They also had squids on a stick. I think the only reason they get customers is because of tourists' girlfriends going "I wouldn't ever dare eat that! Would you?" to their boyfriends and the next thing you know they're sitting in front of a plateful of crustaceans and cephalopods on sticks and wondering why they even decided to travel to this bloody country in the first place.

After buying stuff we got in the car and went home. Corinna told us about Germany. We told her about Malaysia. It was fun.

7) We mentioned the war:

We mentioned it more than once, and I think we got away with it.

8) KK Mart sells KK Mart brand whiskey:

This isn't a thing that happened since my last post. This has probably been going on since long before then. Still, it's a pretty cool thing.

9) I didn't get to give Amanda and Milan their ice-cream:

They both claimed to be sick. I wasn't aware that "not wanting to hang out with Shaun" was a disease. Hannah told me that it was, though. She gets it all the time. You'd think she'd be immune by now, but I think it's one of those things that gets even stronger each time you catch it.

10) I got a wee bit addicted to Tumblr:

I can't help it. My followers are just too wonderful. I'm asking them loads of questions. I ask so many questions to so many people that I can't even read all of the answers any more. The ones that I do read are great, though, so I'm gonna assume the rest are great, too.

Movies (Also Some of Last Week)

I watched The Expendables today with Ian, Jan, and El-Hanan. It was awesome. Jan and Hanan thought the dialogue was really shitty, but I thought it was good enough for the type of movie that it was. The action and explosions and gore and one-liners were so great. I haven't had that much fun in a movie in a while.

I also had a lot of fun when I went to see Salt with Joanna on Wednesday. It was a lot smarter and a little more fun than I thought it was going to be. I was pleased that it surprised me. This is the benefit of having low expectations. The only bad bit was that a couple walked into the movie an hour and a half in, right during the twist at the climax in the war room. Who comes in to a movie fifteen minutes before it ends? Fools. Also the movie was very blue and orange, and now that I've started noticing that trend I cannot un-notice it. Oh yeah, we also saw the trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs The World and now I want to watch it even though it'll be coming out many months after the American release and they're probably going to censor out the ex-girlfriend character.

Before I watched Salt with Joanna I bought her phone for RM250. My dad paid for RM150 of it. It is an awesome phone. It can store an unlimited amount of texts, which is the main reason I got it (My old one only held 100 texts for some arbitrary reason), but it also has a music player and a working camera and 2 gigabytes of space which I have almost filled with music and funny pictures.

After I watched Salt, I met up with Elo and Arun in McDonald's to give Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and an episode of Batman: The Bold and the Brave to Elo. She didn't have her laptop, so she borrowed the pen drive and gave it back to me the next day. Also I discovered that Elo has the same phone as me, which is pretty cool since Arun has one like my old one. Anyway, when I went to pick the pen drive up the next day, I saw a motorcycle that was the same model as mine. It looked cooler, though. I took pictures with my new phone.

While on the subject of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, apparently Ian brought the pen drive to some singing practice for BB and they watched the first two acts there. Something interrupted them and then they had to go home and now they will never finish it. Poor BB people.

Also during this week I got Marks and Spencer's underwear and socks. My dad took us to The Gardens to get clothes. I spent most of our time there coming up with CSI Miami-esque puns. Also before that we ate at McDonald's breakfast and that was delicious. Anyway the socks are super comfortable and the underwear will last a long time, so that's nice.

I downloaded a whole bunch of movies, maybe fifteen gigs' worth. Most of them are Disney. Aladdin is my new favourite. Jafaar is a great villain, but still like Scar more. Also The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh are funny and nostalgic and awesome. Also piglet is in 12 Angry Men. But yeah, I got a lot of movies.

I found out that I can't access my college results on MyPride until my resource fee is dealt with. I'm going to fix it with my dad tomorrow, hopefully.

Hm. Oh yeah, I showed Hannah some Twilight Zone episodes and now she is a fan. Also she is even more in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt after discovering hitRECord. Good for her.

I have more to say, but I can't remember what, so I'll end now. Going to bed soon, yay.

Edit: Oh yeah did I also mention that I talked to Juria a few days ago and when I brought up my broken promise she said that it was all in the past and she forgave me? Well that happened, and I feel so much better now. There is at least 80% less guilt in my life now. Also she's started writing short stories again, so go check out her blog in the sidebar because she's got talent.

Also I had my Ujian Lisan on Saturday and I think I did pretty okay. I went second, gave my speech which I had written up the night before (Probably the latest I've ever completed an assignment) stumbled a bit but covered all the points, and my only slip into English was when I started a few paragraphs with "So...". Also I got to talking to my classmate and I gave her a back massage and told her about my family and stuff, and after class I wanted to see if she wanted to go for McDonald's or something (I didn't have much money but I wouldn't mind being poorer if it meant I could go on a sorta-date). I asked her if she had a boyfriend, and she said yes, and I said I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised because she was pretty and smart and of course someone would want to make her his girlfriend, but I was also not surprised because she was pretty and smart and of course she would have a boyfriend because life kinda sucks sometimes and any girl like that is bound to be unavailable. Meh.

Long Sunday, Part Two

I'm not so interested in having a perfect record of the day any more, so I guess I can save a lot of time now. Here's the shorter version of the second half of Sunday (the longer version could probably fill a small book):

We got home from church. I took a shower because I was sweaty. Hannah and Stefanie put on their make-up in my parents' bathroom. Stefanie put eye liner on me. Facial hair looked silly with it, so I borrowed my dad's electric razor and my mum's tweezers and ended up looking a lot more presentable. I also cleaned up both instruments afterwards because otherwise ew. Also I spiked up my hair with some product I had found. I looked like the lead singer of Tokio Hotel, by which I mean I looked like some sort of old lesbian.

I realized that my hair made me look like a douchebag when matched with my sunglasses. I wanted to see how far I could take the look, so I tried finding a pink buttoned shirt, but we didn't have any pink shirts so I settled for a white one. I left the top buttons undone and the shirt untucked. I also popped the collar, of course. Also I put on a tie but left it loose. The whole look was pretty convincing. I felt douche-ier already.

I found Hannah and Stefanie in Hannah's room. We drew on some more fake tattoos, then we took some pictures in Hannah's room. Hannah was concerned that she looked stupid, but I told her that that was the entire point. I liked the result. Also it was fun acting and posing like a douche.


After that we went to Mid Valley so that Stefanie could pick up something for her laptop. During the drive I kept removing my sunglasses to show my eye liner face for every gay-sounding song and putting my sunglasses back on for every douchebag-sounding song that came on the radio. It was pretty incredible how one accessory could change my look so much. Anyway, after Mid Valley we went to Ebony's apartment to pick her up. While waiting for her to come downstairs I left the car to use a tap to get some water to make my hair spiky again (It was getting soft and you totes got to maintain the image, bro). After a while, Ebony got downstairs, hugs were exchanged, and then everyone got in the car and we left.

Our next stop was Amanda's house. I had texted her about my makeover and she said that she was at home and that she wanted to have a look. Hannah didn't want to visit; she was being very moody. Ebony and Stef did, though, so when they went, Hannah went. We stood outside for a while, admiring Walker, until Amanda unlocked her door and opened the gate for us. We talked for a bit and she used some Indian make up thing (Kohl?) to make my eye liner thicker. It didn't hurt as much as when Hannah and Stefanie had took turns on my eyes earlier. I looked a whole bunch more like a gay guy when it was over. The girls thought it was pretty funny. Anyway, Amanda, Geraldine, and her mum had to leave to go to Mid Valley, so we said goodbye and went to get some ice cream.

The girls wanted Baskin Robbins, so I took them to Baskin Robbins. I double parked nearby and took a nap in the car. I listened to the bottom half of the Malaysian top English top 10 and had a nice nap. The music was a lot better than I expected, too. It reminded me that I needed to get some more Zee Avi songs. Anyway, the girls finished their ice cream and photography and joined me in the car, and we went home.

I used the computer for a while, and then it was time for the Tans to go home. Hannah and the rest were still downstairs taking pictures in the playground, so I called them and told them to hurry up so we could beat traffic. They came upstairs and Stef managed to pack pretty quick. I asked her if she had forgotten anything, and she said she was pretty sure she hadn't. I said "What about the-" and then I mumbled a few quiet nonsense syllables since I knew that she had to have forgotten something but I wasn't sure what. She asked me again and I repeated myself. Anyway we later found out it was her Blackberry charger.

We almost beat traffic, but we were a little late. Everyone hugged everyone except Jan and we all said goodbye. It was kind of pointless, though, since we found out we could stay longer, so we did. Hannah, Stefanie, and Ebony looked through pictures and made a slideshow, Jan and I took naps. My nap was longer 'cause I started it first.

When we woke up the Tans were about to be going for their last dinner in Malaysia. We thought that this was goodbye, so we hugged (again) and Stef showed me the slide show. It was nice (The slide show, that is, not the hug. Well, the hug was nice too). I thought we were going to Chili's because I heard Mexican food mentioned. I think I drove Ruben and Jan to IOI mall, and the girls went with Stef's dad. Stefanie texted me and I thought she said that she was meeting us outside the entrance of TGI Friday's, but she actually said that she was meeting us at the outside entrance of TGI Friday's. That was because TGI Friday's wasn't the meeting place, it was where we were having dinner. There was no Chili's in IOI, and it was never part of the plan to eat Chili's. I had misunderstood.

I looked at the menu and told Stef that it was way to expensive. We had an argument over where to eat. She said if I didn't want TGI's I could go eat somewhere else, but I said I had to stay there because Jan and Hannah didn't bring their wallets (Fools!) so they couldn't pay for themselves. In the end I decided that I wasn't going to order anything, but I would go get the money so I could pay for Jan and Hannah.

As I walked through the mall I felt pretty confident. The eye liner had smudged during the nap, so I looked a lot more threatening than before. I looked in a mirror and I saw a mentally unhinged, possible violent junkie staring back at me. It's amazing what some clothes and a little bit of make up can do for a person's image. People were apologizing to me when they brushed past and stuff. They might have been scared. If I saw someone who looked like me I would be intimidated too, but then I'd laugh at him behind his back. Anyway, I went to the ATM in Jusco (I knew the location from when I had lunch that time I was training to work for my dad's company), and I withdrew RM150.

I was hungry and craving KFC. I didn't want to show up to the counter looking like I did, so I tucked in my shirt, unpopped my collar, buttoned up the rest of my shirt, and fixed my tie. I then went into a bathroom and spent fifteen minutes trying to remove eye liner. There was still loads left over. Make up removal is a pain in the ass. I didn't look like a drug addict any more, though, so I went to buy my dinner.

I got a snack box with crispy chicken strips. They were not very crispy, but the box offered a more generous portion than what one would usually consider a snack, so I guess it evened out. It was pretty cheap, too. After I was done with that I went back to TGI's.

We talked until the bill came. Between them, Jan, Ebony, and Hannah owed me RM70. Ruben and Stefanie had to pay the remaining RM100. We did the math a few times over. Stefanie didn't believe that she and Ruben had spent so much until I told her to factor in the government and service tax, and that made the numbers work. Jan was surprised at how much his meal cost. I told them that I had told them it was expensive and that's why I didn't want to eat there, but they ignored the fact that they had ignored me. Whatever.

Anyway, after paying, we left the restaurant. The girls wanted to go underwear shopping for forty minutes, but there wasn't much for us guys to do. Ruben went to chat up the ladies working at the TGI Friday's (he's real smooth for a 13-year-old, I can see why Hannah likes him so much), meanwhile I went to a nearby jewellery store to see if I could talk my way into handling expensive shiny things. I told the lady that I was looking for a gift on behalf of my dad for my mother's birthday. She asked what my budget was, and she believed me when I told her that it was virtually unlimited. I think the tie and nice shirt helped. Jan sat next to me while I was looking at the necklaces and stuff, and he thought that I was actually looking for my mum's birthday present. He's pretty dumb. I told him to bugger off so that he wouldn't ruin my lie and my fun. He didn't get the hint, but he did stay quiet after that, so things were okay. I ended up getting to touch a RM1,700 heart-shaped gold pendant with a cool blue sapphire in it, so that was nice. The lady gave me a card so I could contact her if my dad liked what I told him. I feel I should repay them for being so helpful, and since I doubt I'll be buying anything I'll just give them free advertising instead. The store is Sim's Jewellery in IOI mall and they also have a lot of reasonably priced stuff. You should go check it out.

So after that I hung out in TGI's and talked to the staff. I was about to be introduced to a fellow HELP student when I got three urgent texts from Stefanie within three seconds. Apparently she wanted Ruben at the pharmacy nearby to lend her money. We went over and gave her the cash to buy pads or something. Women and their menstrual emergencies.

After that I abandoned Ruben and Jan and went to look around. I found a really cool sports jacket that matched my shoes and looked great with my shirt and tie, but it was very expensive (We're talking the equivalent of two dozen McDonald's lunches), so I had to leave it in the store. Next I went to Ace Hardware. I thought about buying Jan an RM1.70 piece of pipe as a present to show him how much I think he's worth, but that was a bit cruel plus he might like the pipe. Instead I bought a cushioned footstool that was going for RM10.90. At the checkout it registered as only RM7.90. I mentioned to the cashier how awesome it was that something like that could be sold for only eight bucks, but she just smiled at me.

I went back to TGI's and watched Ruben humiliate the servers. I had a nice chat with one of the staff about Inception and Donnie Darko. When I got a text from the girls saying they were done shopping, I told the guys that we had to go. As we left the girl I was talking to said I was crazy for watching Inception five times. Whatever. She wanted to watch Prince of Persia five times, now that's crazy.

Jan and Ruben didn't know where the girls were, so I told them they were in Jusco. They didn't know where Jusco was, so I told them to follow me. They didn't, for some reason. Probably because they're stupid. Anyway I went off on my own and I found the girls among the bras in Jusco.

Hannah wanted me to lend her RM15 to pay for bras for Ebony and her. Stefanie wanted to buy a negligée to wear on future sleepovers, but I told her to try it on first. She wore it and said that it made her look like a grandmother. I said that was good because then at least Jan wouldn't be thinking inappropriate thoughts if he saw her in it. She still didn't like the idea of looking like an old lady, so she just dropped it off in a random pile. I told her that was irresponsible and that she should put it back where she found it, but she didn't want to so I wandered to the ladies' undergarments section to try and find its place, but I couldn't locate it. Instead, I passed it off to Jan and left before he could give it back and left. He chased me through the store with it until he gave up and through it in another random pile. I told Hannah that I wouldn't lend her the money until the negligée was back in its spot, so Stef finally gave in and put it in its place. I gave Hannah the money to pay for her rainbow bras and then we left.

When I was paying for the parking ticket, the ladies behind the counter started talking to me in BM. They asked one of my parents was Malay, and I said that my dad was actually Chinese. It was a nice chat. I think those Bahasa Kebangsaan classes might be worth it. One of the ladies called me handsome as I left. That was nice.

The moving walkways to the car park were powered down, but everyone was still going down the "down" one. Since the "up" one was clear of people, I put the footstool on it and rolled it down. It picked up speed as I ran alongside it. When it was halfway down, this little kid stopped in front of the walkway to gawk at it. I yelled at him to move since if he continued his idiotic stance he would have been really badly hurt. He got out of the way and the stool slammed into the wall behind him. It survived undamaged. That was cool.

I sat on it and waited for the rest of them. My sunglasses fell out of my shirt pocket and a lens popped out. I fixed it, though, and soon everyone was here and we went to the car. Along the way we got hit by a chain that we were trying to walk over. I still have a gash on my shin.

We dropped off the Tans and again more goodbye hugs were exchanged. These ones were final, though. After that we drove back to KL. Ebony's mum called and asked me if I could pick up Ebony's sister, Chloe, since I was going to be in Bangsar anyway. I said I could. Ebony was upset. Ebony's mum called a little later and said I didn't have to pick up Chloe. So that was nice. After that we went home and Ebony picked up some stuff, then we got back in the car and dropped her off at her place.

Also at some point I told Jan about how long Stefanie's hugs were and how I had probably spent more time in one hug with her than in all my other hugs with girls combined. She is a real long hugger. It's awkward and nice. It's nawkward.

Anyway I hung out in Hannah's room and annoyed her into watching the first act of Dr. Horrible. She thought it was only okay. Strange girl.

After that I spent a long time on the computer and I did my exercises and took a shower and I went to bed at 5am. So yeah, it really was a long day.

Today Was a Better than Usual but not Amazing Day

Today our church was carolling at Tang's in Pavilion. Ian, Jan, and Mama were involved, but Papa, Hannah, Susanna, and I were not, so after the church service was over they stayed behind to practice while we went home for a little while.

After we were done lying around the house we went over to watch the carolling, but we stopped off for a bit of lunch in Subway first. My sandwich was delicious.

I wasn't that interested in the carolling, so while I was waiting around for it to start I got hit with the urge to wander around a bit. I was gonna get Hannah to tag along with me, but she had to stay behind and take pictures for the church. I saw a dude with a shotgun going to take a smoke break, so I followed him outside to get a better look at the gun and figure out what he was guarding. Outside, there was a Bentley dealership, and few banks, a van belonging to one of those security contractors, and a whole bunch of really expensive cars in the valet parking. I also managed to find an entrance leading to the concierge, and from there I walked to the main part of the mall. It was huge. There was a performance going on in the center that was attracting a much larger audience than our church's carolling was.

I went back to Hannah and said that I had to show her something and it would only take five minutes, so she agreed to come along. We went to see the expensive cars and the center of the mall and the performance, and Hannah took some pictures. Soon, though, she had to get back for the carolling, so I was left alone to wander. I found my way to the highest floor and looked around, and then I decided to go see the carolling again before heading outside to the front of the mall to see what it looked like from there.

As I was heading down the escalator, I got a call from my dad telling me that the carolling was finished and it was time for us (Susanna, him, and I) to go back. As we were driving back I called Hannah and asked if she wanted to go see The Princess and The Frog at Sunway later on around nighttime, but she wasn't interested.

Once we got home I put on a movie for Susanna to watch and then spent the rest of the time on my computer while my dad went out to play some golf.

In the evening I was ready for a swim, but then I got nice and relaxed and fell asleep. My dad woke me up and told me not to nap so late because I'd wake up in the middle of the night and end up going to bed in the wee hours of the morning. After I woke up I went to the pool and did laps for half an hour or so. I also found how quickly I could swim one lap, how long I could thread water, and whether I could still swim a lap underwater. My findings were 20 seconds for both, and yes.

When I got home I talked with my mum about the sensationalism in today's newspaper. Hannah was also included in the conversation but she was upset that I was applying things from college and left. The conversation ended when something from the article was clarified and I realized that I was arguing needlessly, so I went to take a shower instead. My hair is in a really bad condition because of all the chlorine in the pool, and the shampoo I use isn't helping.

After my shower I went on my computer, but as soon as I got online my dad said I had to shut it off at twelve, and I said "No", and he gave me a really long lecture about that because he thought I was disrespecting him, when in fact I was just saying "no". He also thinks "maybe" is a disrespectful word, so I've got to be careful about using that answer with him in the future.

Hm. I want to wander around the city with someone I can talk to. It would be fun.

Further Adventures

Hannah and I went to Bangsar Village to get her some chocolate. As we were walking there from the car, I noticed that my shoe was broken. We went to Village Grocer to look for some superglue and chocolate, but the only glue they had was for sticking stuff to paper and the line was too long for Hannah's liking so she didn't get any chocolate. I did manage to find these bags of liquorice, which is awesome. I need to buy some later sometime.

Anyway, we went down to the hardware store and I bought some super glue while Hannah got some chocolate from elsewhere.

Once I'd fixed my shoe and Hannah had her candy, we went over to Bangsar Village II to the Starbucks there because it has an awesome view to watch the sunset from. Hannah and I passed the time by singing at each other. Hannah won. Well, she lost twice and I lost twice, so we tied, but since she lost really early on one round I decided to give her another chance and that was my downfall. When the sunset was done we went in one of the stores to look at paintings before leaving to McDonald's for Hannah's dinner.

I could not resist the temptation and bought myself some twister fries. They were good.

When we got home I had some carbonara. It was delicious.
