8.00 p.m. yesterday, my younger brother; Mr. Smarty Pants asked me whether I've watched Harry Potter (HP). Answer is yes. Then he went off, and came back again to ask "do you wanna go watch a movie?". What? Now? Tonite? Are you serious? Y'see, we've never ever watch a movie at the cinema together. Never in our whole entire lives! And then he went off, and came back again to ask the same thing. His friend's treat, so he told me.

My mind was working overdrive seeing him so adamant. Honestly, with his persistency I seriously thought his 'friend' was actually some gorgeous hot guy he wanted to introduce to me! (Brat, if you are reading this..shadap you!). Hellooo social life! Then he asked Brat the same thing. Everything plummeted. By asking Brat can only mean 2 things. One, he has 2 guy friends for us, which definitely sooo not gonna happened in real life. Two, the 'friend' is THE girlfriend.

Number 2 it is! Sigh.

So off we went for THE introduction and a free HP movie. 2^nd HP movie for me. Sigh. We only have 5 minutes breather before the movie starts and Mr. Smarty Pants was like "hah! Interview la". Heeellloooowww, Brat & I are cool sisters, we don't do interviews. Kan Brat kan? Kan? Plus, you & the girl invited us to a movie so we were totally there for a free movie. And, you bought the girl something to eat and I have to buy my own iced lemon tea? What?

Mr. Smarty Pants ym-ed earlier with a message that the girl is inviting for a movie (Setem?) again this Thursday. Do I have to buy my own drink again? Let's not go too fast la kan? Plus, Mak & I are going to QiGong class.

Note 1: If you seriously wanna get on a good side of a sister esp the unmarried single ones, a date with someone cool would do you wonders. Mwahahaha.

Note 2: You gotta give your sisters ample time to get ready weh! Esp your younger sis!

People give away all sorts of flyers at the LRT station; flyers of fastfood chains, a work-from-home-and-be-a-millionaire, national cars, how to be skinny, colleges that can make you brainy at the cheapest price, where to get your bling-bling cloth for baju raya, adverts booklet etc.

I think today, there were at least 4 people distributing flyers and I was particularly interested in one red colour A4 sized flyer. I didn’t get that flyer though. They didn’t give, I didn’t take therefore, I didn’t get. While I was ‘escalating’ down, I managed to read the flyer over a gentleman’s shoulder.

Oh.Em.Gee. I saw “(International) TV turn off week: 21 April – 27 April”. on the red colour A4 paper! Eh? What? Who on earth initiated this horrible week?! Seriously dude, I can handle “no snickers week” or “no gheeballs week”, you can even bring on 2 hours of Earth Hour but “TV turn off week”? I can’t even survive for a day and you are talking for a whole week?! My goodness.

Let’s see, we have “Bones” on Monday (David Boreanaz made an excellent angelic vampire, but he is even yummier as a human FBI officer), “Ugly Betty” on Tuesday, some movie on Wednesday, don’t even touch Thursday and Friday; these are sacred days of American Idols, “Gilmore Girls” on Saturday and various stuff on Sunday! Ok, I’m willing to let go of Wednesday but only if a crappy movie is on. (yes, I’m talking of free tv here, God help me if we have Astro)

I still read books despite being a TV junkie. And I’m not gonna land myself in jail and drop out college like Rory just because I’m watching it religiously although I have a wishful thinking of marrying Jess (Dammit Milo, just google yourself already!). I understand the reasons behind it; good initiative actually but a week?! C’mon!

Who on earth initiated it? I think they are parents with children did bad in school (I was the child who did bad in school but thankfully, the week as launched in 1994. Yay!) and  parents with children -who-are-influenced-by-an-advert-and-want-a-particular-shampoo-so-that-they-can-become-teeny-tiny-and-have-a-bath-in-the-sink-with-some-cartoon-characters (No comment). And secretly I think these people are married couples who wants to have a lot of sex after a day of work. Better turn on your TV for your children then!

p/s: I'm still in shock that there's such week on earth.

Some people misunderstand me. I don't bother to rectify & correct them. I've tried but they never listen anyway, so i don't bother anymore.

Sometimes the misunderstandings hurt me. But i still don't bother to rectify & correct them.

Because now i can blame someone for the hurt they caused.

Brat,

I know that you really really reaaallyy want to go and watch Jamiroquai, believe me you, so do i. If only they didn't hold it all the way in Sepang, if only it was not at night, if only it was not on Sunday and if only it was not for the F1 ticket's holders, people would've seen us there kan Brat? Dang the organizer.

Alaa…."if only, if only" konon. As if Mak will let us go.

Ok Brat, as a consolation here is one of the insanely best VCs in the world for you (and i) to enjoy while moping around imagining that we were in Sepang. (Also, do check out "sunny" at 95 Glastonbury Festival).

I'm still in my Jason Mraz gedik phase, that explains the long lazy silence. Still am in the phase.

I have no idea where is Taman Mayang (the MPH warehouse sale was held there), let alone on how to go there.(I know, I know Binx, you took me there once where I had a humongous mug of Ribena longan in the world that almost burst my bladder. They should've provide a toilet there, not everyone has a self-control, self-command pee. Anyway, it was dark and you might as well told me that we had a dinner in Thailand, I so totally gonna believe you) Yesterday, drove Mak's car, picked up Brat & her friend at KL Sentral, took a gamble and pray the hardest that we didn't get lost. We didn't! Oh, I'm so darn proud of myself.

From there we proceeded to Hartamas (Times warehouse sale), which I would have absolutely will not go if I were in a right-sane-straight-thinking-mind, simply because I have no idea how to go there. I think it was the intense heat, it melted my brain, haywired everything and made me irrationally thinking that I can get there easy peasy. Wa-hey! I totally get there! Not lost. Nada. I'm so darn double proud with myself.

Personally, MPH was a letdown; it was uncomfortable especially in the heat, disorganized books, everything was everywhere, the prices were not that cheap and! there was no collection of 'Series of Unfortunate Events' that Brat's aiming for during the last MPH sale last year. That was the reason I decided to nick Mak's car instead of taking the LRT and took a huge double risk of getting lost coz I'm so not gonna carry the whole series of 13 books on LRT.

Times was great. Better organization of books, way better "catalogue-ing", dirt-cheap prices and it was held in an airconditioned shopping mall earned it an extra bonus point.

Well actually, scrap that, I think MPH was better. Go! Shoo! Go flock the MPH, it was better, take my word for it. Go there so that I can enjoy Times all myself.

FYI, my feet were not safe on that day. Poor feet.
