B4 exams fever

Whoa. I seriously need to slow down.. my time is so jam packed with stuff not academically related!

Family came down on Friday, took them to dinner at Wok n Pan. Had one of the most hilarious dinner with Dad and bro as Mum had to attend a funeral. I dare say my dad has the driest sense of humour but he's darn funny. He still lingers at a certain topic and make jokes bout it when we had already moved on to 5 other topics or so.

Kenneth: Jie, Messi from where?
Me: I thought he was from Italy, so I bought Italy jersey *other than the fact that I think Italy has the strongest chance to win WC, with Spain and Argentina in line* BUTTT I now know he's from Argentina
Kenneth: *laughter fits* Noob. Please dont tell people you are my sister.

Then he continues,
Kenneth: Torres?
Me: OF COURSE I KNOW. Spain.
Kenneth: Ballack?
Me: Germany.

Was bored at this point. He thinks I am a noob is it? *flips hair*

Kenneth: Gerrard?
Me: CHINA -_-"
Kenneth and Dad ( who was quiet the whole time): *laughter fits*

Then,

Dad: He'll be known as Steven Gerrard Lee cos he's playing for China
Me: *choke on my pork burger* Er dad, although you change citizenship, you dont have to adopt chinese name wert!
Dad: But it will be funny. Imagine he visits the Hokkien province of China, people will call him, "LEE JIA-LAT" (jia-lat in hokkien means in trouble)

Me and bro laughed so loud, other diners were looking at us like we had nitrous oxide for dinner.

Me: In China, the surname "Lu" is quite common. He'll be known as "LU JIA-LAT" (literally means You're in trouble)

Somehow me and bro changed topic but dad still has ideas flowing in his mind.

Dad: If Steven Gerrard migrates to HongKong (predominantly Cantonese speaking), he'll be known as "Chan Gee-lard". Chan cos he follows Jackie Chan surname.

Me and bro nearly laughed our breakfast out, whatever my brekfast was cos I cant remember what I ate in the morning. I dunno la, the conversation was just so lame but his expressions are priceless.

Other funny things my dad will do is when we're out for shopping the whole day and havent had our dinner, he'll be pestering us to go home COS his dog is alone at home the entire day and is hungry. My mum will literally scream, "MY GOD. We humans also havent eat and you are worried bout your dog?" Coming from a guy who initially refuse to have a dog although he loves them cos of monetary and space-wise, now he's grown so fond of Richie, the dog is practically his youngest son or grandkid.

Anyways, after dinner, we went back to the hotel at Tengkera. Then I took his new car out to watch football. He insisted I test drive the car with him inside, around the hotel for one round. My gosh. Such is my dad when he has a new car. Super obsessive and compulsive, he'll double check and double lock his car but things will be fine once he scratched it or something.

So, waited for the first game since 8.30pm. Thought can catch the opening ceremony but RTM 1's presenter had to babble away. I dont think anyone in the country actualy listen to their opinion. Urrggh. Watched half of the first game.

Saturday morninng slide through with a short breakfast and small shopping for my new kebaya at the new jusco. Then, attended the graduation ceremony for batch15/16. Was rushing like mad, dahla petrol tank indicator was left with one bar, blinking incessantly. I die-die also refuse to pump petrol in my kebaya but have no choice. It'll be ultimate embarassment if my car ran out of petrol and I had to wait by the roadside for ANYONE to rescue me, under the hot scorching sun!

Then left early, had tea with the rest at Station One and went back to the room to change and again, leave to accompany the family for early dinner before they drive home.

Came back around 6pm, slept to 9.30pm, changed at 11.30pm and out I went again with Gayathri, Gurpreet and her 2 crazy friends. (:

*from 9.30pm to 11.30pm was spent talking nonsense with Leeky, in case you think I have amnesia or somethin*

Its' always nice to meet new people. Such refreshing feeling. Hehe.
I have to say Borneo or East Malaysia people are much nicer, funnier and friendlier people than West Malaysians especially their accent and their Bahasa. I dunno whether they'll be offended or not when I went, "Funny la your accent! Hak hak hak" and Davina (Gurp's fren) answered, "I thought I was speaking English wert!"



Made it in time to watch Green's blunder for England Vs USA match but missed Gerrard's goal at the mamak stall. Imagine 6 noisy, boisterous girls chatting non-stop on guys; their body, hair etc etc and I bet others were just waiting to kill us. hehe
