A Salty Lunch
Today my colleague A suggested that we go SS2 for lunch in his car. Now we were wondering how come he was so generous to offer to drive us there. Then in the car, J said , "Hah, you are going to SS2 to pay your car saman ! I knew you weren't that good to fetch us to SS2 for no reason" Then A was like " Yaya...." So we went looking for parking, and managed to find a place. Then A said, ok you guys go ahead, we eat at this shop la..I go and pay my saman 1st... with that, A took off in a hurry.
That was when V said, "What else is there to eat around here"? Then my senior said there was nothing much, but if he wanted we would walk around and see. So we walked and walked. Then J whispered to us "Actually V does not want to eat porridge..." Then my senior told him,"Eh, there got rice also u know..." V was like, "hmmm ok....anything la" but he kept on walking. So we followed him until wewere quite far away from where we parked. We ended up at this certain shop that sells noodles and fried rice. Then we made a call to A to ask him to meet us there.
Now the pony tailed shop owner came to take our order. One look at his sour face made us wonder if we had made the right decision in coming. Before we could finish making out orders, he went away. We started looking at each other... Then I told them, uh, I have not ordered yet... THen they said, "hmm..he seems tob e in a bad mood today la that owner.." When the fella came back with the drinks, I gave him my order, and he gave me this withering look that seemed to say " How dare you waste my time by ordering late , you low life!" I mean who could talk to a face like that? I was like stammering away..."Uh..I want.... Ngua lam noodles...." Then he snapped " What noodle ??!!" I was like "uhhh...kuey teow..." Then he took off. V made us laugh by imitating his "What noodle??!!" speech over and over.
OK, here comes the food. V took one sip of his soup and went "Urghh, its soo salty !!" Yea actually my soup was salty too. So we were eating and A came back. A lady came to take his order.
Waitress : What would you like?
A: (Looks at V's food) Hmm, I'll have this one la
V: (Mouth full of food) *shakes head vigorously at A
Rest of us: *trying to contain our laughter
A: Yea, I'll have what he is having
V: Almost chokes on his food trying to convey the "NOOOOO!!!!" message
Waitress (Looking at V's strange actions) Uh..ok... this dish is very nice one, good choice !
Rest of us: (could not contain laughther anymore) AHAHAHAHHAAHA hAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA
Waitress: *Leaves the bunch of giggling fools(us)
A: What are you all laughing about? And V, what were you trying to do?
Rest of us : *faint from laughther overdose "WHY U SO BLUR ONE ! "
V complained that he shook his head until it hurt but still A could not get the message. Hopeless.......After that we had a good time reacting the scene over and over until A threatened to make us walk home. That didnt stop us from reacting the scene once we were in his car. :p

The though provoking jelly bean
Today my friend gave me a few jelly beans from Australia. As I chewed on that bean on the way to work, a thought struck me. This bean I'm currently chomping was in Australia, it was in places that I have never set foot in before..and now it has travelled all the way to Malaysia to get eaten by me. As I rolled the unfortunately bean in my mouth, savouring the sweet taste, I pondered on the bean's fate. Then I started pondering on my own fate. Obviously my life would have been different if I had gone to a different school, joined a different intake at college.... Where would I be now if I had taken a different course or if my family had moved to Rawang as we originally planned to?
My dad told me to take another course. What will happen if I take it? What will happen if i don't? Hmm, life is like those picture books that I liked to read when I was a kid. Those that go like,. To go down this Path turn to page 5, to stay there and wait turn to page 10. Eventually only certian paths lead to a happy ending.
I'm Jasmine, 22 years old, Analyst Programmer. Where does my future lie?

Return from a fairly long break
Back to work again. A BIG SIGH..... Back to hearing everyones holiday stories, while I myself was stuck in KL, mostly at home too. Well anyway I watched 3 movies in a single day, 1 in cinema and another 2 on VCD.
Show 1- Sound of thunder
Comments - Lousy vcd, something wrong one. Show also like errrrr, nothing special and a bit fake.
Show 2 - Corpse bride
See the fella there? The story is about how he has to choose between those 2 ladies there. Difference being that one has a pulse and one does not. You see he was supposed to marry the one in the 2nd pic, but messed it up and got sort of married to the one in the 1st pic instead. Kinda funny actually, that story. One line I remember from the movie goes something like.. "Being alive is only a temporary state" which was what the corspe bride's friend was telling her regarding her so called rival (The guys real bride). Come to think of it, its rather true... all of us are only living in temporary bodies, in a temporary world...
Show 3 - Curse of the were rabbit
Comments - Well I'm not quite a fan of those plasticin shows but this one is funny actually. Its about this pest control fella and his dog working hard to protect the villager's prize veggies for the veg competition. Then something went wrong with one of his experiments and out pops this were rabbit. I love the doggie, he's just too cute.

Do you know me?
If you are my friend, how many of the below do you actually know about me?
1. I'm a computer programmer. Amazing for someone who never passed her Add Maths until SPM and can't divide a food bill with government tax among 5 people.
2. I still look at the keyboard while typing and still type with 6 fingers (sometimes 3) despite having had a computer since I was 12.
3. I don't do housework unless you count cleaning up after my 2 royal bunnies. Then again its not in the house but outside.
4. I suffered from mild obsessive compulsive disorder when I was around 5 years old. It lasted for quite a few years until I lost the need for washing my hands 10 times a night. I still occasionally touch the corners of my bed before I sleep at night though.
5. There were 7 tanks of fish in my house at one point. At another point there were at least 20 hamsters. And I could tell all of them apart and knew each one of them. The fishes too.
6. I kept a diary since I was about 11. The first few entries included illustrations of my stray dog friends.(The illustrations are truly horrible)
7. When I was younger I could whistle any tune with my mouth closed. I still wonder how I was able to do that as I had lost the ability to do so when I hit secondary school.
8. I share the same birthmark as my dad. It’s somewhere on my tummy.
9. I wanted to be an artist when I was young. Looking at my past drawings makes me wonder how I ever got that idea.
10. I love computer games, PS games and anime. People go like.. but you are a girl ! And I go like, and so?
11. I must have tomato sauce with my KFC mashed potatoes. Guess what else I do to it before I eat it?
12. I don’t eat tomatoes, cucumbers, pineapple or watermelon.
13. And most amazingly for those of you that know me.. I used to have a very good sense of direction regarding roads when I was in kindergarten. I was also one of the top students there. Now, what has happened to me since then to totally twist all that ingenuity? I can’t even find my way out of a parking lot and I was a bottom feeder in class since primary school. I think it might have the trauma of suddenly switching to a Chinese school and being forced to learn an alien language. The effort must have killed off many of my brain cells. God knows.....
