Ehstrians Gone Wild (Literally)

8/6/2011
I've heard many a time people saying, "Success is the best revenge." I didn't get it up till yesterday. I was like a nervous wreck before venturing out of the house. I was like, "This is going to be a very awkward day." And after a series of worrisome thoughts just before arriving at the 7-11 outside the school, like 'Am I the last one here?' (Traffic kinda sluggish on the way, you see) and 'What are we gonna do later?' and like, 'Are they all here already? OMG They gonna kill me for being like half an hour late.' But then all those vanished and were replaced  by the exact opposite set of thoughts, 'Okay where is everyone?' I saw Jean in 7-11 :D So we waited awhile for the others to show. Well it was an awkward wait, and we decided to go in school to look for them, but goodness gracious, right after the moment we left 7-11, there they were. And soon after, we had another awkward moment walking to the bus stop. Well, guess I was right about the awkward part. So now it's 5 people -- Jayden, Jean, SongZhe, WengFai and me.

Jay lost his virginity that day, in fact, twice. I'll get on with the first one first, the second one can wait till later. He's a bus virgin, just like me a few months ago (I think, remember vaguely only). Went through the usual bus-taking routine -- get on, walk to seat, sit down, wait for conductor, pay conductor and sit back and relax (although not much of a relaxing seat 'cause the space between seats is like so narrow) And I just realized like 2 seconds ago that RapidKL and MetroBus prices are different.

Note to self: RapidKL from the EPF to Sunway in normal clothes -- RM2.50, on Metro -- RM1.80


So anyway, the Jay attempted a prank call (or were you going for a Gotcha! style call?) to Alvin which ultimately failed after a giggle, but he believed it for a split second before the giggle. I still can't believe he did. It would have sounded so Jayden. Jay was like, "Hello sir, did you order a pizza?" and to my knowledge, apparently he said yes. So yeah, but the awkwardness was lightened by a tad bit.

Upon arriving at Pyramid, we walked to the lion's head part to find the prank-callee. Which we did and whom I ignored purposefully for fun. He was like calling me the whole time we were staring at the Directory looking for the guitar shop and I was like 'Oh I think it's over here' I. Am. Evil. In the end we couldn't find it on the directory so I went to ask to concierge which pointed us to the direction of the closed guitar collection store. And just then Tek called so we were like giving him directions to us and I bet he was scrambling around to look for us. And when all hope was almost lost (yes, exaggerated), I saw him coming down the escalator. You fail, Tek. After a short, for-no-apparent-reason moment of standing at the foot of the escalator, we went to erm, yum cha :D That Alvin went on to order some expensive coffee drink thingy that got us (well, I don't know about you but I was) staring at him. You still owe the class an abalone dinner, Alvin. Next year CNY reunion dinner you belanja :D Now 5 of us plus the 2 retards and the KitYan so in total, 8.

So, we were like walking around with nothing to do then someone suggested we go to the arcade (which I have always thought to be noisy and a waste of money, and I still do). Okay so we were like there, and apparently one of the racing machines hated me so it ate my token. Then I went to take a call from XYing :D She said she was on her way or something, couldn't actually hear over the incessant blaring of the machines -.- Jayden apparently was so convincing in his prank call with XYing that she actually believed him and asked her dad to deal with it, which he was freaking out that he'll sue him. Epically hilarious. And to which he kept apologizing to her. Then after the arcade, waited a little then XY arrived. So we, the 9 of us, went to Redbox (lol) Oh yeah, PhangHoong was spotted around too. Same ol' "wait for reception-show IC/student cards-chose 10pax student package-followed the guy into the room" routine. Then awesomeness begins. Yes, the awesomeness begins here instead of the whole block of text above this sentence.


OMG, was like my reaction when we entered the room, it was like huge (Although I've seen bigger in photos, but still). Singing, or more like screaming out of tune, and me jumping around and pole dancing (Yes, I pole dance, am I awesome or am I awesome?) And so the screaming and shouting and laughing and whatever people do in a dark room with comfy sofas do (not that, you sick minded perverted psycho, we're like 15-16 year-olds) goes on and on until I don't know who (or maybe I do) said he/she was hungry so order food. Which was to the least of my expectations. For RM12 a plate of meh-rated dished, good thing it was included in the package. Not enough drinks, RedBox, especially if you give us 4 hours. And the most epic part. Jay fell asleep on top of the sofa (he climbed up there) when we were singing to Taylor Swift's Back to December and we snapped photos (which I still have, I have proven myself to be evil once again) And apparently I was caught pole-dancing on camera. (well in the motion of it). My pole was invisible. :P So, I left the room as nature called and when I got back everyone was like, standing on the sofa. Fun :D So they were like standing and I was crawling at their feet. Apparently I got spanked in the behind (if you know what I mean). Then when the RedBox staff came in to what I know now from forum sites that they come in often pretending to take orders but actually are taking a headcount, we all dropped down and sat there like nothing happened. But I think he obviously knows, CCTV? XY had to leave early and Tek followed not long after. Then for some strange reason the remote controller stopped working. Damned contraption, probably a scam by them 'cause it happened just minutes before the end-time of our stay.

Alvin left, so how many left of us? 9-XY-Tek-Alvin = 6. Then Jay asked if we wanted to go play pool, which apparently we were disallowed to enter with a lousy excuse or so he says. So in the end we did nothing except walking around for a few moments then flipped a coin to see if Newton/God wanted us to go for a drink or go back to school. KitYan and WengFai were going back by themselves so the 4 of us ultimately decided to go against nature (the coin said we should go for a drink) and went out to find a taxi, we had to walk a short distance before finding an empty taxi. So a taxi-ride back to school, which is another virginity-losing moment for Jay who says he's never been in a Malaysian taxi before. Jean's granddad was already waiting for her at the bus stop, so she left when we arrived at school. Went to 7-11 with Jay and SZhe bought a drink, drank it. Stood there for like half-an-hour for no reason and I excused myself 'cause it was getting dark and I was supposed to take the LRT to KL. The walk in Taman Jaya was terrifying. In the late afternoon, with the shadows of night closing in and weird creepy sounds coming from nowhere. And also the possibility of being mugged (I know of a friend of a friend who got mugged by some Indian dudes) so I picked up my walking speed and sighed in relief when I got to the other side, it was drizzling also. So went KL, had dinner, read a book, Mom picked me up (she was in KL also) and went home.

The first sentence of the entire blogpost about Success being the best revenge thing was just a random quote I chose because of the word 'Success' which perfectly described yesterday along with 'awkward' and 'funny' (although I probably think everything is funny). Ending with a concluding thought is so old-school. So...(cliffhanger ending ftw.)
