Your Captain is Not Dead!!!
Let me repeat myself: "Your Captain is not DEAD!!!"
Many people have come up to me and asked, "Are you not driving the Plane anymore?"
My reply: "And let the Plane crash and let my dear passengers die? Not in a hundred years!!!"
What a dumb question man!!! I'm barely even explored the Journey of my Life. The reason this plane was in the hangar is becos my stupid computer at home do not let me access Blogger, therefore, i have to come to IMU, which is what i did today.
Today is Monday, July 26, the 208th day of 2004. There are 158 days left in the year. Can my dear passengers guess what day it is today?

But good thing I don't have to sing that song to myself. Did i tell you that I have wonderful friends??? They msged me at night, they called me when i was halfway sleeping (Excuse me? 3.00am?Daniel, don have to sleep izzit?!) But I still love them. And when i walk into lecture today, these two good friends suddenly just shouted, "Happy Birthday, Elena!" (had a minor myocardium infarction) and the everybody in that hall went "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to E-le-na, Happy birthday to you." And when i checked out my blog, Grace actually put up a Happy Birthday tag. Gosh... I have so good friends!!! *sob a little.*
So after all the celebration, its back to business. Starting up the engine, i ask the passengers, where do you want to go today? I've not start up the Plane's engine for such a long time, the engine is not starting. Damn. Hold on a sec, i'll go start it up. *open bonnet and fiddle with the engine* Damn, what the freaking hell is wrong!!! *take cable and fix to sheena's battery* Here goes nothing! *Jump start the engine. Boom!!! Crash!!!!* Seek cover!!!! *Duck under the table. Baboom!!!! ............... silence....* What the freaking hell!!! *Turn the key again. Starts up nicely* Ok, now we are ready to go. Buckle your seat belts and here I go!!!!
*Going into cruise control* So where do you guys wan to go today? It's been like almost a month since I last posted something. So what can I post? It's too late to post what happened in KKB, its like last century ago... So i'll post whatever that comes to my mind first.
Just went to have lunch with Sheena, YK and Raj. When we were on the way down, we met Daniel who was putting up a notice for MASTERBED ROOM that he was renting out. As usual, Sheena buat kacau la. So we went to see what his notice look like. Go see if for yourself, its posted on the Board just outside the Library, near the Seminar room wan. He posted it right beside another notice that is also trying to rent out the MASTERBED ROOM. It's going to be tough competition as both ppl is offering the same thing for the same price of RM500. But Daniel is adamant that his advertisement is better. These are his arguments:
The other guy : Friendly housemates.
Daniel : Clean, friendly, and helpful housemates.
The other guy : RM500 rent.
Daniel : RM500 negotiatable
There are still many arguments, but the classic is the one that he went "Haha, their number so hard to tear. My one so easy." Take a look at his notice and you'll understand what i'm talking about. Notice the where two of his phone numbers are torn off? He tore it off himself, he called it marketing psychology.
"Daniel, so cute." - Sheena.
The next thing that came to my mind was this conversation I had with my sister a few days ago. She was describing the things that happened in her Geography class.
Teacher: Where is Nepal?
This boy name Kenny: On the breasts.
Kononnya la, the teacher has pronounced Nepal as Nipple, or it could have been Kenny's dirty mind on the roll.
Teacher: What is Nepal famous for?
This girl name Sabrina: Mountains.
Sabrina is my sister, for those who don't know. And for those who can get the joke, fine. For those who can't, you're a bit slow today. For those who CAN'T get the joke, here is another illustration, in the memory of my friend, KimPing.
There is this girl who has really big breasts. We call her Everest.
Get the joke now????
And speaking of getting things, most of you do get the line "Life is a sexually transmitted disease" no? Becos i realised that most of the passengers I talked to do not understand what it meant at all. The principle of it runs along the line of my header which is "A Fucked Up life sucks. My Life sucks. My Life is a Fucked Up Life." Get it? Don't get it, forget it.
I have to jump off this plane soon. Need to go back to get some stuff done. Friends coming over for steamboat. IMU buddies, no worries, i will have one next year just for you guys, ok? Well then, guess I'll be seeing you guys soon anyway, like in 2 weeks time, which is only 14 days to go, so no worries...Will post again tmr, so best i leave you guys at the transit airport. Signing off with:
Caesar: My good Apple, if you continue to be such a bookworm,your legs will atrophy and fall off.
Apple: What would I do without your pleasantries?
