Its 5:40 on a Friday and have I ever mention how I hate busted remotes? No? Hmm..WELL I FUCKING HATE BUSTED REMOTES!!!! Its annoying and I can't stand it. My Astro remote is not working and I tried changing the batteries but it still won't work. It just had to breakdown now, when the first World Cup match would be starting and I need it to flip through channels fast to get the latest score and such.
Sheesh.
Moving on, I went to KLCC with Nad and Sal yesterday. Yes, it was postponed to a Thursday. I was hoping it'll get postponed to end of next year maybe. All hope fails. And you know what? I should've listened to my inner voice and stayed home. I would usually go "hey, it was not that bad after all." But now, ok fine, it wasn't that bad after all but the trip will definitely go down to history, and all for the wrong reasons.
We left the house at about 9:30am and my mom dropped us at the nearest LRT station. We bought tickets and got on the train. In the train, it was quiet and peaceful. Weird, but I liked it. On the next station, three young Australian guys came in and stood on the spot quite close to us. My peace and quiet instantly went in the drain. They were all like "Oh right, yeah, that'll be no way you tried that but I.." then the next person cuts in "No man, yeah way oh not that one oh yeah that one..." then the third person which was the loudest would be like "Yeah, yeah YEAH, oh right no oh great, yes whoa man, I'll be like yeah like that." I looked around and saw that almost everyone was trying hard not to stuck their socks in the boys throats. They went on and on and it was like they wanted the whole damn train to hear how great Christina was.
Sometimes I just love the Asians for being the conservative lot that they are.
Later, we finally arrived at KLCC. It was pretty and clear. It was early at that time about 10:30am so there wasn't a lot of people there yet.
We started wandering around looking for Mcdonalds because I was not in the mood and was in serious need of a Fillet O Fish burger. As we were walking, I spotted this guy walking out of some watch shop I think. I was like "Oh fuck he's cute." So I winked at Nad telling her "Hot guy, 9 o'clock." You see, Nad has a thing against malays. She's a malay herself but she hates malay boys. Basically because she already has a bad experience with one of them that eventually made her conclude that "Malay Boys Got No Brains". I err well haven't shown her the light just yet. So now she's out wandering for hot foreign guys because, well, she's met a few and thinks that they're the most awesome creatures that has ever walked this earth.
So anyway, I saw this hot foreign guy as I was walking and tried to look away because he was already glancing at us. Nad suddenly went all goofy and said something
loud in malay which roughly translates to "OMG so cute" in this annoying voice which made me go all Darth Vader glare at her. The guy must've probably heard it because he glanced at me and had this tiny smirk on his face.
Oh great, he thinks
I'm the one who went all teeny on him.
That aside, we went to the fourth floor to get our tickets to go watch The Omen. The movie was on at 1:55pm but we decided to get the tickets before we head for breakfast. Sal, my cousin stayed outside the cinema while me and Nad waited in line. Yep, The Omen is rated as 18PL and none of us are 18, yet. Me and Nad, quite a few times have been mistaken as graduates so we thought maybe it will work to our advantage if the lady at the counter saw us instead of Sal who's only 5 feet and have been mistaken as a lost 13 year old. We finally got to the counter and the lady saw what we were going to be watching. She glanced at us and was like "This is rated 18, Are you guys 18?" and we were like "Yeah." She typed something in her computer and looked at us again. "You sure you're 18, right?" she asked and we were once again maybe rather unconvincingly this time said "Yes." She gave us our tickets and before we left she was like "They're going to check your IC before letting you in." I could feel the colour drain out of my face. But Nad (who was a pro in mishieve and lying) smiled and said "Okay." When we went outside I was flipping out, basically because my 11 bucks was going to be spent on something I will not be able to watch. Nad told me and Sal to calm down. She said everything's going to be fine. Lets go and eat now.
How the fuck is she so sure?? And my appetite instantly died. My appetite has never died before but IT HAS DIED NOW!!
After having breakfast at Mcdonalds despite me not being hungry and losing my sense of thinking we decided to wander around once again. Most of it was because I needed some space to recover from the sudden panic attack.
Oh for god sakes, you would've freaked out to knowing that you will get busted in a cinema for not being old enough.
After a couple of hours at about 12:00pm, Sal felt tired and wanted a place to sit. Me and Nad stopped by at Coffee Bean because Nad wanted to get some chocolate in her system. So I waited for her at the side. Suddenly there was another hot foreign guy walking past me straight into Coffee Bean. Nad was too busy looking at the menus to even notice. I waved at her but thought twice about it because of what happened earlier. I had a scary image of her screaming at him while pointing at me. Scary stuff. I couldn't help but giggle a little when I saw the guy standing right behind Nad but she was to absorbed making her orders to the guy at the counter that she did not even notice who was behind her. She finally turned around and as I guessed she was suprised to see who was behind her. She looked at me and pointed at my camera and I was shaking my head while mouthing "No way." She gave me an angry look but I gave her an even angrier look. Instantly she gave me her coffee and grabbed my camera. I wasn't going to stand there and look but instead I went back to where Sal was and wholeheartedly told Sal how Nad
was going to need a kidney transplant because I'm gonna rip out her damn kidneys with my bare hands.
She taped him. That biatch taped him. She stalked him and taped him and almost got caught taping him. She came back to us and was like "Ok, we need to go somewhere else because I think the guy knows I was taping him. Here Sheila, you can hold your camera."
We made way to the elevator while I was cursing silently to myself. But we did kill some time because it was already 1:30pm. All grudges aside, we made way to the cinema hoping the guy wouldn't tell on us to the police or something.
So yeah, at the cinema I felt sick once again. This is it. The time has come to find out whether my 11 bucks would come to haunt me. Sal thought maybe she should act like she's busy on the phone with her boyfriend so that the lady guarding the line would not stop her and start asking questions as to how old she is. I was like do whatever hell you want. I'm going to stand here and try to remember who Maharaja Mikado Meiji was. Seconds later Sal took out her phone not to act, but to answer it because her mom called.
Very good timing, Sal's mom.
So Nad gave out tickets pointing to the both of us at the back, the lady looked at me, then looked at Sal and tore our tickets.
We fucking got in.
We got fucking in.
We fucking got fucking in.
Wow.
We got in, and high fived each other which caused the other real 18 year olds to stare at us but we didn't care. It felt great to lie and get away with it. Eat my dust, lady selling ticket at counter.
HAH!
So yeah, found our seats and sat there resting because feeling nervous and stressed out actually makes you tired. The rate my heart was beating would have made Marion Jones suffer. Marion Jones, you know, the olympic gold medallist, who took drugs and later could not enter the recent olympic games. Yea, thats her. See, my heart rate would have made her tired.
So I was sitting in between Nad and Sal. Later, three malay boys made way in front of us because their seats started right beside Nad. So Nad had to seat next to some malay guy who was not all that bad looking despite us being in the dark. I turned to Nad and was like "The guy next to you is not that bad looking you know." Seconds later Nad pinched me. I was like "What?" She was like "That guy, heard you. He was looking at me goddammit." I tried not to laugh and told her that guy would get over it sooner or later.
Revenge is so effing sweet. I would do it over and over and over again.
Halfway through the movie, Nad nudged me and was covering her face. I was like "Whats wrong?" She was like "I touched him."
Say what now??
Nad explained that she was trying to find the hand rester and since it was dark and she wasn't really looking she accidently started rubbing the guy's thigh. I heard her saying "Sorry" but I thought she accidently kicked him or something. I was like "Wow. I hope you didn't stimulate him."
She knocked me right at the ribs. It hurt.
So the movie was great. Very smartly and interestingly done. I'm not kidding. Go watch it.
After that it was 4:00pm. Sal wanted to eat again, this time at KFC. We all agreed. I was doomed with bad luck that day. I was laughing at Nad about how embarassing it was for her to go rubbing the guy's thigh when I suddenly knocked over my cup of Coke and spilled it all over the place.
Yeah, I was the one who got laughed at in the end.
That was how my trip to KLCC went. Nad and Sal can't wait to do it again. They decided we were going to do this again in December right after Nad's SPM examination but this time we're going to Berjaya Times Square. The bigger, the better. More fun and in my case more stalking and getting caught stalking. And once again, they were not going to go without me.
Dear God, help me.
