Two days in miri....

The brightest are often the most tragic.


25/7
- A month had passed since MJ's death, and yet i still do not know where is his body and why he died. I had came across articles though, that said of what killed him. I think its pretty obvious what killed him; i was more curious about HOW he died.

But anyway, i didn't do any of those 'remembering him' or 'commemorating him' stuff on this day. Instead i was practically everywhere in town, patiently waiting fro night to fall so i could go online during dinnertime, in KFC no less. Results are out already, and i still don't know what mine was(i think i might be the last one in my class again. Which i kinda got used to since i'm always last in everything compared to my fellow classmates), but i decided to enrol myself in second semester anyway. I had delayed my enrolment till kinda late, patly because i was waiting for my appeal results. It had yet to come. And reenrolment deadline was very near, so yeah..

Spent the night kinda frustrated...cos no one was online(ppl i wanted to talk to)..and no one returned the texts i sent out...lol..the whole night i'm kinda moody cos i'm afraid i can't make the enrolment cos i didn't know my very own damned programme code. And my freaking battery was running out and those workers kept walking past me, as if i should have left when i finished eating straightaway...

Luckily one of my classmates online...so i asked him....here wanna say THANKS to Dennis...sorry if i seemed abrupt to leave the conversation after thanking him in MSN..my battery running out and i had to send the form asap...thankfully everything went good...

Then we went to Imperial for awhile...to change the sweets mum bought cos she bought the wrong ones =.=" i went pass the camera shop on my way to check if the magazine shop is open...and i saw the camera model i want has sold out...=(((( No peeps....its just a normal digital camera...not the DSLR i wanted(that'll come in the future....when i work)

I went super moody after knowing that...and the mag shop had closed(i still looking for the Rolling Stones mag)...lol..and then i went to sleep slightly feeling better after watching some SNL clips on Star World...laughed till tears came out...very funny...lol....needed that cos i'm kinda disappointed with my friends that night...then i assured myself maybe they are busy(one of them, i do know she's busy, and i guessed correctly~)..hmmmm... =/



26/7 - As usual, started the day with b'fast out in town then went like almost everywhere. Shopping and stuff...we went back to the stall opposite Boulevard which sell kuih...the boss must be happy...yesterday and today we bought so many kuih from her...haha...last week too...lol...she recognise us liao...

So i continued my search for the Rolling Stones mag. I hadn't given up hope. So i went to Popular to check again..i pushed back some mags and there it is! A Rolling Stones mag! But it wasn't the one i want...the cover is a girl(i didn't see who it was, i don't care) whose hair just abt covered her boobs =.=" I saw that it's the July issue. KINDA NEW!!! And i smacked my head why last week i didn't push mags here and there to check if the one i wanted is there. Oh wells. My memory served me right after all. The only place in Miri where i can find Rolling Stones mag is in Popular...but i think this is the first time i see it so update..usually issues come late, like Kiddo says..then i went to another store downstairs and i found some old editions...they do not have the latest one...so, Popular is the only place...

I used to think "Who in Miri reads Rolling Stones?" when i saw one copy in Popular years ago. Now fate does have a way playing with you doesn't it? Now i want a copy, and it isn't in sights. I'm actually asking that question again just 2 weeks before. "Who would want to read those?" i said while looking at 4 different magazines on TATTOOS. Yep. Tattoo mags. With furious-looking women with those furious-looking tats they had on their body and arm. Good god. Or maybe i was just frustrated that they didn't sell the RS i want. xP Who knows? Maybe years later i'll be searching for 'tat mags' to look for cool tat designs...

Then i went into Speedy, and one thing caught my eye: a rectangular box with MJ's eyes sans-HIStory album. Behind the box was a bag to put that box in. Curious i took and had a look at it. It was a box set with 10 discs, each disc attributing to each of his solo albums he released. I was like 'WOW!' then i turned it over and looked at the price: it would cost me $100 to own it. =.=" The collector side of me wants it. The logical side of me tells me not to buy it, despite it being priced very well (a standalone album costs at least $30. Buying 10 would amount to at least $300). And i gave it a thought...even if i had the 10 discs...what about the album covers and the lyrics and photos that come with it? I would have none of it..what's the point of owning a disc of an album withoust the stuff that comes with it?

I was very tempted. But, i decided, it shall be something i buy when i'm a working person again. I can't even afford a new camera now. Or even a new phone. I should spend wisely. When the time comes, i'll start to build my collection. My own library of books and mags. My own personal album/disc collection. ^^ OHH YEAHHH....

The day's emotions wore me out. Bad moods punctuated by sudden excitements and thrills. I was kinda exhausted, psychologically. I texted my frens again. Only to find out they received naught of my texts last night. o.O What the hell! I sent out nearly 10 msgs to 3 people, getting no reply, i should have known!!! Sweat. and...i was mad for nothing. sweat. Why does it seem my intelligence is getting away from me one by one.... =.="

But thankfully i settled the matter...sigh...i guess...my 'Yellow Man' didn't follow me into KFC that night. Maybe he was on diet. Maybe KFC ain't his thing. =.="" Gosh i should stop saying lame jokes. I wonder if anyone even got it. HAHAHAHAH~~~

Back at home we cut grass. I was tasked to sweep the grass, as always. I wore my old Taekwondo shoes to sweep grass, wearing a new cap Dad brought back yesterday. I'll only wear it when i'm working. When i finished everything, i was tired, but happy i got a good workout. I hadn't really sweated much since coming back, so it felt great, although i'm tired physically. To celebrate, i even danced a sequence of 'Beat It'. I managed to learn one part of the choreography by watching it numerous times. I'm not a good dancer. But at least i got one of the routines in my head now...

SO we went back KB that night after dinner. It was to be the last Sunday i'll spend in KB again.







Trivia : What is the opposite of deja vu? The answer is a situation where you find urself getting more and more unfamiliar with whatever you are experiencing in that moment. I had numerous incidents like that. Once, i read a word which i knew i read it before, but it just felt so alien to me at the time. The word is placard.I had experienced jamais vu!
