Wackiest Friday in College.

Well, not exactly the right word to use but I have a very limited vocab, so I used "wacky" as an expression to describe the Friday, (yesterday) I had.

The usual morning class was, of course, usual. (duh!) Had physical chem lab till 12pm (theoretically) and went back to college to have lunch. After that, me, Azie and Elina took a cab to Mid Valley. Before that, drama ensues as they were not gung-ho enough to stop a cab. XD Anyway, we still manage to hop on one and got to MV.

We headed straight to Gardens' Red Box for my very first Karaoke session. (Don't 'huh' me, I know you don't believe) Tommy was there awaiting for the arrival of "VIP" guest. After checking into our assigned room (Room 49 is my memory serves me right) and there were all these buttons and gizmos waiting to be tempered with. Of course, if you have been to a Karaoke lounge, then you will very well know that the place is awesome, well, unless of course you went to a lousy one, which I can't help you as it if beyond my ability to provide aid and thus making you not satisfied and unhappy and complain a lot about it... which like what I am doing now. *DEEP BREATH*
Anyway, we started singing our hearts and lungs out especially my favourite song, Kris Allen Live Like We Are Dying. XP Then there were so many yells and screams rather than songs and melodies. We sang for 3 hours... for quite a reasonable price. (If I am not mistaken it's < RM10) I have only 1 word to describe the entire event, FUN! Just for your information, but I think you'd already know, I CAN'T SING!!! Although all the while I agreed and said I can't sing, but this time I really mean it! Hearing what I was doing in the lounge made me realise how horrible and terrible I was. XD OK, enough revelations for character profile.

Moving on, we rushed to take a cab back to our college. Upon our arrival, I rushed back to my room, showered, make up (just the hair), dressed up and all ready for MAK phase 2. Looking at all the handsome young men and gorgeous beauties waiting for the "carriage" to depart, everyone was so excited to take pictures and commend one another. I, on the other hand, was not as stylish nor dashingly handsome, was only confident to take a couple of pictures. "When the clock struck 12pm", (metaphorically means when it was time to get that ass on the bus or I will ditch you all and let you stranded and starve in college) we got on to the bus assigned to us. To add to our misery, we had to wait for another 15mins before departure, oh and not just that, to "horrify" things, we were stuck in a jam for 20mins. When we managed to get out of UM, we had a fun ride in KL. Not bragging when I said that my friends asked me about KL landmarks and that I answered them, but I also feel "pai-seh" when I don't even know what USJ stands for. XD Our destination was Wisma Felda at Ampang. Taking a joy ride from UM to Ampang opened our eyes to KL,seeing fields, skyscrapers, landmarks, graveyard.... scratch that, and many other things.

It took more than 1 hour to get there. When we finally got down, flashes of light started, you can literally see starts on Earth itself. If you are dense like me then you'd probably not understand me. Anyway, the place was grand and gala. There was a red carpet rolled out to the front door, an archway with artificial roses where girls loved taking pictures there, fountains outside where you can hear streams of water flowing and gushing, spotlight of multicolours shined brightly. No doubt that during these sort of events, paparazzi instinct will start, there is always cameras, actions, dramas, talks, laughters, flashes of lights, "friend-hunting", loitering, pacing, staring, thinking, drooling... Pardon me, i was carried away. Back to topic. As I walked into the magnificent hall, I searched for my table, and sat down. Thinking of not "rotting" away by blank staring into space, I seeked out my friends location, joined them for a chit-chat before the VIPs came. Oh, did I mentioned that they gave clocks as souvenirs. *GASP* Typical Chinese will think "WHAT THE F***! WANT TO DIE AR???" Ya la, I know not nice ma. Nvm lor, don't take lor. So simple. but anyway I took on cuz the design was nice and it was practical for me. XD

Moving on, the arrival of VIPs and before munch time, they had a real good gimmick. The hall had ceiling filled with lights, making them shine like stars as you tilt your head up to look in the dark. The cameramen took footage of it and was projected on the screen. Everyone was to amazed that they took pictures of it. Unfortunately, I didn't. Don't ask why, cuz I myself am not sure why. Probably I was too mesmerised by it... starstruck? Haha. Then the food arrived... in the most fashionable method, where waiter/tress took candle-lit plates of food and did a formation... pretty. We feasted on the food they prepared and left the plates with nothing but bones and decorative. (Who eats decos anyway?) Then, like all previous years, award was given out to people, lucky draw sessions, performances and many other programs. But what is shocking is that the photo-taking session is never over. The camera starts to roll once more when tummies are filled. People can take pictures from one end of the hall all the way to the parking lot and to the bus stops.... EVEN ON BUS ITSELF!!!

What frustrates the committee members will always be the reluctance of people to follow instructions to get on to the bus. Argh, what the hell, who listens to them anyway? My memory is much more valuable than some bus trip back to UM. Hypocritically to say, I avoided picture-taking groups... Reason? Not needed to be mentioned. After committee members repeatedly reminded us to get on to the bus, we finally got up and going. Oh, but the drama does not end there, we still had wacky fun time on the bus, we filled the bus with ONLY OUR LAUGHTER (bet everyone is annoyed by us).

Oh, I bet that trip was miserable to others except us. XD Well, after all those energy-sapping activities, I drew my very last once of strength to type this out. So before I turn in for the night, I just want to appreciate all that has happened today. All new experience I had today was awesome.

Alright, my eyes are as wrinkled as a dried raisin. Better sleep now.
