| So what did I dress up as for Halloween this year?  I was a police officer! I even had a walkie talkie, handcuffs, baton, badge, and a hat! The party I went to made us wear name tags to describe our costume but I stupidly thought it was to write my name on so I wrote "Tania the Cop"  Little did I know......the host, her housemate, and their friend.......were dressing up as cops too! Argh! They even had metal handcuffs and a nicer baton.....but it's ok they didn't have a hat nor walkie-talkie hehehe =P  A good number of my friends had costumes on too! Yeay! If we had someone in a blue Star Trek uniform (perhaps dressing up as Spock?), our crew would be totally complete!  Of course there are the usual party poopers who are lazy to get a costume, or think they're too good for one =_=  And Kingston thought a pink hoodie he bought for a dance performance could serve as his quasi-costume. His real costume was still 'under construction' that night (this was one night before the actual Halloween day).  Do I make a bad-ass cop? >_< Yes yes yes.......I hold the same facial expression in every picture because I don't know how else to be 'bad-ass'.... hahaha! | | |
| There was a very selfish man on my train to work this morning. So there I was zoning out and peacefully staring into space when I heard music playing on speakers. WTF? Don't you own headphones or something? To make things worse.....the 'owner' of this music.....kept changing the track every few seconds. Think of it as someone scrolling through their ringtone list on their phone, except this time it's someone scrolling through their playlist......with their music playing out loud. Annoying nak mampos? No? After enduring this noise polution for over 5 minutes, I looked around to see who the perpetrator was. Initially, I could not pinpoint this bastard....but I observed that while everyone was reading or asleep, only one guy was staring intently at his phone. Must be that stupid idiot. I am another big idiot because I forgot I could have blocked out his music with the music of my own. So while giving this guy the most disgusted annoyed face I could muster (and you know I do this face damn well)....I violently stuffed my ears with my headphones to further highlight the fact that he's so darn annoying. The selfish asshole was looking at me the whole time. At that same moment, the conductor walked into our car. A few seconds later, the music stopped. I wonder if it stopped because he realized how annoying he was, or he was afraid of the conductor, or he got bored of scrolling through the playlist on his shitty phone? | | |
| I woke up this morning to really great news. I got an e-mail from Yau, my junior at Penn. He got a job in NYC and is moving to the city next year! OMG! Yeayyyy! I always have a good time when I'm with Yau, and I can't wait for him to move to the city. Hopefully by then I haven't moved out of the city though =_= I am really happy here and feel that my life is somewhat complete. In the past 6 months or so, there has been numerous additions to my 'gang' here, all of whom add a little extra color to my life. Our family size here is getting a little out of control, but I love everyone to bits. Now I love my life (lifestyle & friends) here.....but I need to do something about my career. But will a career change take me out of the city? A big part of me craves a new adventure, but it's hard to leave this place I call my second home now. | | |
| The weather is rainy and cold today..... Oh....how I wish it was sunny and beautiful just like it was in the summer *sigh*  On a different note, I went to my college friends' wedding a few weeks ago. The bride and the groom were both from my freshman year hall, and the groom was also Omid's roommate back then. The 4 of us used to hangout together alot back in the days. This was certainly a wedding I could not miss!  By the way, Ali is Indian, and Kaitlyn is white (duh)....and this wedding was an Indian wedding. It was certainly alot of fun, mostly because Indians LOVE to dance at weddings! I'm so inspired to take a Bhangra dance class now.  The highlight of the wedding for me was meeting up with my college friends! It's too bad my ex-roommate Farah could not make it, but my other ex-rommate Natasha was there. We had alot of fun talking about the good old days (including a conversation about our pathological liar hallmate who told the whole world she had cancer)....as well as talking about what we were up to lately and what our plans for the future were. By the way, I brought my NYC friend Ai Ping along because the wedding was a 2-hour drive from NYC, and I needed someone for the car ride.....hehehehe. She always wanted to attend a wedding in the US, so it was a win-win situation!  The most important part of all.....getting to see Omid again (AND not getting into a fight like we always always do). We had a strained relationship prior to the wedding, but I'm glad now we are on good terms again ^_^ How I wish I got to see him more often because I do miss him very much. For those of you who have no clue who Omid is (how is that even possible?).....Omid was my best-friend in college since day 1 of freshman year. | | |
| Although this is probably 2 weeks old....but whatever.
One very interesting thing I did in LA was watch an outdoor movie at a cemetery.
Yeah, you heard me right. Cemetery. Kubur.
I'm absolutely terrified of cemeteries......can you imagine going to watch an outdoor movie at a cemetery in Malaysia? Menggerunkan. Scary as hell. Just being there gives you the chills sometimes.
But the nicely manicured lawn of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery was far from terrifying.
Boy it looked like a huge outdoor picnic or hippy rock concert. What with the blankets strewn across the grass, and happy people drinking and eating.

Looks like a pretty normal picnic spot doesn't it? Except for the mausoleums adorning the background >_<


Once the sun had set, the movie started to play, and the full moon slowly crept up the sky. The setting was absolutely romantic! What better way to cuddle with someone other than under a full moon and star-lit sky? I actually forgot I was in a cemetery, and even thought I was somehow at padang TTDI.
Nevertheless, as we approached our car after the movie, we were reminded of where we were by the numerous headstones next to where we had parked >_<
