Talladega Nights and the Lost Moolah

Yesterday after attending a short CSO Halloween event meeting (and after doing my bloody braces at the nearby orthodontist beforehand at 1.10pm, I have to wear rubbers soon in 3 weeks time dammit! =(), I met up with Ding at the Metro bus stop at 2pm and waited for Andy and Shawn to arrive.

While sitting there talking about hilarious occurences, an auntie - not your typical Chinese auntie, as she spoke good English - approached us and started enquiring about the RapidKL bus, a public transport I have yet to try.

Fast forward 20 minutes later, Andy arrived in his Waja and we were off to Pyramid. After wandering a bit, the rest decided to eat at Hartz’s Chicken Buffet while I have to content myself with nursing a stomach ache probably induced by the day before’s lethal combination of some supplements + coconut water. The poh zhai yin I bought at Guardian (didn’t know they’ll stock it) worked fine but I’d rather not take chances before my stomach descended into an avalanche.

After the buffet, we watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby which was scheduled to start at 4.50pm; the title sounded like a Bollywood movie. It was quite a freaking hilarious movie, crude wtf humour and whatnot and the usual American jive. :) The storyline was somewhat predictable, but then again, how can you expect comedies to have substantial plot?

When the credits roll, it was time for me to search for some place to eat. The rest predictably didn’t want to have anything to do with food after devouring greedily to expand their intestines as large as possible, with the exception of Shawn.

A snapshot of our handphones when we were bored, with me trying to decide where to eat.

Daniel’s Chocolate.

Shawn’s Samsung.

Andy’s Moto V3.

And my trusty Motorola E398, first handphone with surround sound (right?). It’s not broken, so doubt I’ll be replacing it soon unless a gorgeous Sony Ericsson catches my eye.

Poser Shawn.

I was craving for hotdogs, so we went to 1901’s stall nearby.

1901’s.

My um, newly released hotdog thingy.

After finishing two hotdogs, we were about to leave when Daniel asked where my camera cover was. I was like:

So we went to the beam we were hanging about when Ding was snapping pics of our phones, and the sheath wasn’t there. Dammit. :(

Since I couldn’t possibly leave my camera exposed to dents and easy scratches, I had to purchase one a.s.a.p. and I finally got one cheap-o Sony pouch for RM35 which was bulkier than the previous one, which I bought for only RM15. >_>

Went to the USJ 14 cybercafe for two hours of CS + DotA with Jon, RB, Heng, and Fang Chyuan. With the exception of Heng and RB, we went to Tanjung for a while till midnight.

Quite a good day out.

I bought my mum a CD of Francisca Peter (some local singer I don’t know of) at Fantasy music store yesterday, since she told me she wanted it before.

When I woke up today, my mum told me that she had already bought the CD days earlier, and it was RM10 cheaper than the one I bought. -________________________-""

wtfwtf.

So we drove to Pyramid to see if we could exchange it, but a rather haughty Chinese woman manning the counter told me I couldn’t return it. She said I shouldn’t have said it was a present for my mum and I went wtf on her.

“Hello lady, wtf?” I wished I had told her.

“Nono *insert randomly chosen Cantonese words and completely broken English*” said the woman.

Her assistant teleported right next to her and told me nicely that if I had told them yesterday (both of whom, weren’t there yesterday when I bought the CD) that the CD was supposed to be a present, they wouldn’t tear off the plastic wrapping the CD.

...

..

what. the. fuck. That logic boggles me. o__o I would have accepted a simple “this good is not returnable” and not some overly-complex procedures such as the need to inform them the CD I’m buying is for a present.

WTFWTF. The fact that they were the ones tearing off the plastic and not me, made it seem as if they were doing it on purpose so nobody can return the CDs.

=_____= Stupid Fantasy music store.

I’m spending too much on entirely stupid things this month. Haircut + lost camera cover + wrong CD.

After I got my mum’s pre-ordered Vincci shoes, I left for Ding’s house to borrow his Action Replay disc for cheats galore on my PS2 since I have little time left to play through games for storylines. :(

Went to Shawn’s house after that to install DotA, Hamachi, and fix up his annoying Windows genuine notifications. Spent my time there from 3-6.30pm.

I’m feeling as if I’m rotting my holidays away. The fact that results and a new semester is turning over in less than 7 days time frightens me.
