the speech day went well. the guest of honour did some walk-by along the different uniform groups contingent feeling president on national day and stopped to talk to some of the kids. its quite grand.
the concert was good. the reception was good as well. the only tiring aspect for me was making sure all 500 participants get their burgers before the ceremony. very tedious. and i was the only one!!
-----------------------------
on saturday, had the luxury to wake up super late. met up with zizi and abg yem at esplanade to watch a reading. came late so in the end, i only managed to catch the discussion.
made our way to an extensive session of lepak. we started off at a coffee shop and indulged ourselves in malay one-dish spectacular meals of mee rebus, mee soto and gado-gado.
then we took a walk down to kaki5 to lepak. ordered drinks and played.. malay version scrabble. its so hard to get started!! but once we got the hang of it, we played two more games. very entertaining. words such as pakar, bakat segala terkeluar.
played a few rounds of uno and reversi. met up with so many people there! all the faces that u have not seen in ages started to pop up. one such person was Paat.
Paat is one colourful character. i dont think anyone could ever measure up to him. he tells wonderful stories. the ones that keep you so riveted that you didnt want him to stop. he is damn funny. his jokes are well-delivered, on cue and always garnered lots of laughter.
anyhow, he was telling us the story of this certain world-famous musician that he was filming for a musical travelogue. they spent two weeks together and paat pissed him off almost on a daily basis.
they were in jkt for a 2-days music festival. at the end of the first day, a huge indonesian artist would be the closing act. and on that first day, it was iwan falls. now, iwan falls is so freaking huge in indonesia that he is practically a music god there! so everyone, the crew and whatnots were all busy grooving to iwan when our world-famous musician told everyone he wanted to go home first.
the director was shocked. "Bro, its Iwan Falls, man. How can you go back now?"
"Aku takut nak balik nanti ada riot." said the world-famous musician.
the director laughed his head off. he find that so damn bloody amusing. here's what the director said,
"Tapi lu Tuah, siak!!"
[geddit, geddit?!] *jumps up and down, excitedly!!*
anyhow, Paat told me tonnes more funny stories abt the music travelogue trip.
-----------------------
ibrahim met ibraheem for the first time as well (the ibrahim, meet ibrahim joke was rife that night!!). when baeem walked away to buy dinner, paat, abg yem and their friend commented that how much baeem looks so much alike, like their soccer friend called maeel.
well, u guessed it. maeel is the same ismaeel. one of ibraheem's triplet.
speaking on how small the world is, hanie is related to baeem. and she happened to be hanging out at kaki5 as well on that very night.
small, small world.
-------------------------------
E forwarded me an sms she received from one of her colleagues (who happened to be my friend as well.)
"I know you are attached. But please go out with me on ONE date. I need to get you out of my system. I need to prove to myself that you are no big deal afterall."
hello!?!
some guys have the biggest nerve. next time i see you, i'll make sure you get one nice lempang from me. i need to lempang you at least once, to get it out of MY system.
*ps: i know u read this page. so u better do damage control and apologise. and it wouldnt hurt to deflate a bit of that ego u have.
------------------------------
have a good week yall.
