matchmaking: mangsa berikutnya...
"ei, aku nak isi minyak lah. where's the nearest petrol pump?" aku tanya mili, while maneuvering the steering wheel.
"kat sini tak boleh masuk kiri. kena pusing depan sana" mili seemed to be ignoring the killer question from mak. iya lah. kami berdua pun sedang mengalami masalah relationship tiba-tiba ditembak dengan soalan yang best. gugup sekejap. aku ketawa kecil.
"what do you mean 'korang'??? i'm still young okay???" mili memberi jawapan. mak terkekeh di belakang. she continued telling us how my younger cousin is currently going out with a technician and might be tying the knot. the thing is, she kept changing her phone number, everytime she changes boyfriend. you get the idea. yesterday we went back to seremban to see my 91-year-old grandmother and for mak to attend her mesyuarat gossip between her two close sisters. by the end of the day, nama aku naik menjadi topik. dulu, anne always told me stories about her supportive aunts who love to play matchmaker for her. aku fikir, merepek. nampaknya turn aku sudah sampai.
"chinese look, your age, tall," described fana. the guy that they're trying to matchmake me with is a friend of her current boyfriend. woi!!! aku yang masih mamai dari tidur petang, bersuara dalam hati. si ahbeng tu kerja di seremban, aku di kota durjana ni. sesuai ke? boleh jadi ke hubungan jarak jauh ni? aku pun sebenarnya suka saja jadi matchmaker tapi bila aku yang jadi item-nya, rasa bengang pun ada. beralah kepada pilihan mak, tidak pernah langsung terlintas di fikiran aku. i'm only 24. i shouldn't be worrying about this. THEY shouldn't be worrying about it either. mentang-mentang dah pencen, sesuka saja nak buat keputusan. eleh, macamlah si ahbeng tu pun interested. entah-entah sudah pun mempunyai buah hatinya sendiri. aku ni pun bukannya interesting sangat pun. elle kata pendirian aku macam lelaki. memang ada betulnya statement dia. bukannya hati perempuan aku hilang terus, tapi untuk di lihat dengan mata kasar, agak susah untuk orang yang tak dikenali. perlu diseluk dalam-dalam. that's why i think it's weird if any male is interested in me. perangai merepek, siapa nak? aku pun tak nak. haha.
tapi apa kata ku try saja si ahbeng ni? tak salah kan kalau berkawan? at least, i can have someone to hang out with whenever i come down to seremban. mana tahu dia merempit ke, boleh aku try rasa perasaan lentik atas motor. haha.

superpower
1- Apa superpower idaman anda? Choose only one.
2- Siapa superhero/watak yang mempengaruhi pilihan itu?
3- Kenapa superpower yang itu?
4- Apakah kelemahan kamu? We're never perfect right?
5- Apakah nama superhero kamu?
6- Motto superhero kamu pula?
1- besides being normal, i'd like to be invisible.
2- nobody. okay. those people who always get caught red handed. haha.
3- i think being invisible makes it easier for me to get away with stuff. or stalking. which happens to be my favourite past time. when i'm invisible, i can follow anyone home without them noticing and i'll get to know how they live their lives. the poor, the average, the rich. plus, i get to be as near as i want to be to the person i really like. to smell them.
4- heavy rain, thunder and lightning. these three things will make me visible again and of course when i'm using my superpower, i'm totally nude.
5- invie.
6- "you'll never catch me red handed. just nude."
so now i'm supposed to tag another five people:
robot asmara
andre nasution
meow
sarah
ben donnie
okay superheroes! go and show off your superpowers!!!
a daydream
"you know, i've been thinking. we can't really have what we want. but sometimes we can get what we want and it all depends on us, making the decision and push away all hesitations. i want you."
his hands around her hands, helping her the burden of holding the hot coffee. she smiled. she was just picturing the same situation a moment ago and it was happening in front of her.
i had always picture this situation in my head. the dreamer i am.
but how weirdly bizarre, i can't seem to see his face. even the slightest bit. i wonder who's this stranger that will surprise me with the sweetest gesture. only time will tell.
if there aren't any traffic jam on the highway. or maybe after a cigarette or two.

as i mature
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big willy or huge boobs.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!
I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.
you can pass this on. maybe something good will come your way.
if not...tough shit, dude.

my hexagon wall
"thanks. but what do you need this for? if you were to be staying inside this fort-like wall, how are you supposed to communicate with other people?"
"well, isn't that the whole point of building this? to avoid them? i feel secured like that, you know?"
"hmph. i still don't get it."
"you see, i'm afraid i can't deal with certain things. people, to be specific. so i've decided i should just keep things to myself. i don't think those people out there would mind. they won't care, anyway. besides, it's a relief for them so i won't bore them with my shits and craps."
"you think so?"
"i'm sure. positive."
"but you do know building this wall is part of a negative thinking, right?"
"uncle, i'm paying for this. and i need it fast."
"okay. whatever suits you."
smiles sweetly, "thank you."

how i could just kill someone
have you ever felt this rage inside where you feel like punching that someone in the face? kick his/her head? step continuously on his/her chest? take a hammer and smash his/her head? using coin to scratch his/her car? take the knife and slash him/her all over the body? and repeatedly punch him/her in the face until you can't even recognize them?
lepas tu kau rasa macam nak mencarut non-stop. sambil jerit sekuat hati.
lepas tu kau sambung doing the cruel things you were feeling just now.
SEPAK! SEPAK! SEPAK! TENDANG! TENDANG! TENDANG!
sampai mati.
lepas tu kau basuh tangan with hygienic hand-wash soap.
head to your bed and you cry your whole heart out.
then you sleep for a week.
and when you wake up, everything looks, feels normal again.
i'm having these emotional distractions. owh Tuhan. bantu aku.

money talks, bullshit walks
so my colleagues and i were smoking outside the office just now and i suddenly popped the question:
"are you happy with what you are right now? do you think you can achieve what you want and need in say, 5 years time?"
sumpah aku goyang after attending the preview. both of my colleagues were silenced by my question. "owh. itu hari aku checkout business preview." mereka menarik nafas lega pasal aku bukan jenis orang yang suka nak pop killer questions. statement 'bila ada duit, choices are yours' sememangnya betul. kalau kita tidak ada duit, skop pilihan kita kecil. for an example, you only have RM5 for lunch so either you go to the mamak stall or get nasi campur. itu pun lauk kene budget. if you have RM20 for lunch, you can checkout any fast food restaurants or makanan yang lebih menyelerakan dari makanan mamak. alaa, you get the idea right? okay. let's talk about savings. in 10 years time, nilai duit akan naik. jadi macam mana kamu save pun, sama sahaja. faham? macam ini: sekarang se-tin Coke RM1.50, in 5 years time boleh mencecah RM5. so, if in 10 years time your savings reaches RM50, 000, the value is just the same as RM10, 000. lebih kurang begitulah. now it got you thinking right? always they say, it's not the money that matters. itu dulu. sekarang semuanya duit. nak kahwin pun, melafazkan cinta sejati, perlu ada duit. to live your passion, you've got to have the dough. nak fly to amsterdam kena ada dough, mate. by the time i have RM5000, the airfare will be more expensive than today's. tapi ada sesuatu yang aku agak gusar tentang business preview malam isnin lepas. honestly, i don't have that amount of money for me to start the business. conclusion: loan. i'm not confident with loans. bukannya RM100-200. thousands weih. and currently i have debts too. contemplations. complications. another fact is, i don't like to be pestered doing the stuff that i don't like. when i'm ready, i'll join the business. kalau tak, tak lah. aku masih ada banyak lagi perkara remeh yang perlu difikirkan.
jangan judgmental sangat
"eleh. dulu kau sibuk dengan capitalism, independent this and that. look at yourself now."
or
"i thought you hated gays. why are you dating one now?"
dudes and dudettes, we really can't predict the future. so better be careful of the words that'll be coming out of your mouth. if you don't like something, say it nicely. jangan menuduh melulu. aku tahu kamu berkobar-kobar menegakkan fahaman kamu. tapi mungkin kamu boleh cuba jaga hati mereka sekeliling. ya. manusia rambut sama hitam, hati dia kan lain-lain. don't be too judgmental. like i said before, lambat-laun kamu akan jadi EXACTLY macam orang yang kamu pertikaikan, those people you love to judge so much. i used to really hate skateboarders but i ended up with one. tapi itu cerita lepas. karma slapped me hard in the face with my own judgmental words.
jadi, kalau tak suka, diam-diam sudah. tak perlu dikhabarkan pada seluruh alam.
owh. 'tak suka' juga antara salah satu favourite words aku. and 'sabar je lah'.
ha'ah. mungkin aku dari species atas pagar.

a forever boy
their boyish smiles.
their boyish smell.
their boyish attentiveness.
i dislike men.
they are ignorant.
egoist.
ambitious.
so i've decided
whenever my boy turns to a man,
i'll get myself another boy.
-fzk-
and i shall struggle the ocean for a boy
who will always stays a boy.
these filthy feelings
weekend, i've been contemplating with myself. i'm happy. ada butir-butir excited, always changing colours: warm fuzzy ones. but why am i so pissed on stuff he's doing? why do i STILL have to care? i'm ignorant too. benci dengan perasaan yang jahat. aku benci bila aku moody. benci okay? bukan 'tak suka'.
oh Tuhan. i'm asking for your forgiveness and to lessen this filthy feelings inside of me. jealousy and revenge weakens me. buatkan hati aku bersih dari unsur-unsur negatif sesungguhnya aku sudah penat mempunyai perasaan ini. please make me strong so i can face my coming days and be a better person with a good heart.
tapi john, i like it how you held my hand just to pass me a sip of self-esteem. whenever my hand is in yours, i wouldn't mind drowning. let's drown again. life seems much better underwater.

hope it's not her last sitting
yeah. i had to agree with the photographer, bert stern on choosing lindsay lohan to re-portray marilyn monroe's The Last Sitting (a series of erotic photographs taken 6-weeks before she was found dead). i have a thing for matsalleh, red-head, freckles. and attitude like miss lohan? makes it perfect.
hmm...kalau badan aku cantik macam mereka, teringin juga shoot foto erotik begini.
click five
1. list 5 or 50 of your favourite links.
2. tag another 5 or 50 other people. and inform them.
gmail.com - jobstreet rajin hantar aku job vacancies. but most of them requires chinese language knowledge. spoken/written.
wikipedia.org - seronok. everything's there. sometimes i spend a little too much time on wikipedia. klik itu ini.
dictionary.com - i'm not good in my english. you get the idea.
blogger.com - pasal myspace, friendster, facebook dan yang mana-mana website labeled under dating services sudah di banned at my work place. tsk.
veoh.com - pasal youtube pon kena banned. it was stage6.com previously, but they had to shutdown the website due to high expenses maintaining the website. jadi mereka mengesyorkan veoh.com.
5 is enough kan? okay. so it's my turn now to tag another 5 blogger.
ben donnie - pasal aku nak tengok ayam suka checkout website apa.
downtrodden - ahahahahaha..
hanum - mesti ada website tentang photography.
mills - owh. come on. do this, okay?
scorchys - only nice, general website. no lucah-lucah, okay?
and don't forget to jot down the name of the person who tagged you. that's right. senandung konspirasi.
hati dia yang melukis, hati aku yang menangis
he took my left hand gently and guided me between white walls to an open space.
"okay."
bright colours, painting as tall as an express bus, stood in front of me. i turned to him and said "spare me the details of this mural." ada nombor, ada rumah, ada daisy, ada mimpi, ada curiga, ada perasaan. i was speechless as my eyes darted from a detail to another. last night, time was on my side to just sit and stare at john's artwork. earlier i asked if i can come and have a look before the launching day because i know i'll feel uneasy staring at the painting with the place filled with unfamiliar people. tiba-tiba ada satu macam perasaan develop dalam diri. macam sebak tapi bukan. hati aku bisik "jangan keluar. not now." to be thinking a guy climbed a ladder to paint you, is awesome enough. macam ada ribut kecil dalam badan. i'm not good in giving comments since most of the time i like things the way they are. he asked if i wanted to add anything but i said it's his artwork, everything on the wall should just come from him. from his point of view. just like this blog of mine, everything from my personal point of view. before i drove home, we had a quick chat about us. there was something john said that made me stare up at the lamp post in front of us. cahaya yang samar-samar antara dahan pokok-pokok di bahu jalan yang menjadi saksi kepada celoteh kami sejak beberapa hari yang lalu. mata aku developed a thin layer of glass. i didn't dare look down, takut kaca-kaca halus itu pecah and cause a scene. but as i drove away, lighting up a cigarette, angin yang masuk melalui tingkap menerjah, memecahkan kaca-kaca itu. and as i'm typing these words, i still haven't found what made those small tears berani keluar.
maybe it was john's painting.
maybe those hidden feelings i had folded neatly inside.
maybe because aku terlalu sayang pada dia.
maybe the thought of this wonderful feeling might end one fine day.
maybe how we've given up on mending things.
alah. mungkin habuk kot.

nombor lapan yang 'ong'
List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
Tag 8 people at the end of your post and list their names.
1. i have this habit of taking off the label on my sampoerna box. you know the sticker on the side? i always take off all of it instead tear just a little bit. and i don't like crumpling the foil inside. it's neater if you fold it nicely.
2. i always wear my seat-belt. driving or not. because i don't want to waste my RM300 for a stupid fine. i don't know why my friends make a big deal out of it. besides, it's for your own safety.
3. i like switching off unused lights/fans. pasal mak selalu bebel. if i passed by an empty meeting room and the lights are on, tangan rasa gatal nak switch off.
4. juling air. tapi tidak merisaukan pasal ramai perempuan cantik juling air: kate moss, penelope cruz, rita rudaini, catherine zeta jones, ziana zain. dan aku rabun ayam (rabun di waktu malam). fortunately, aku tak berkokok di waktu pagi.
5. i don't bebel when i'm mad. instead i just shut myself up. and when i can't stand it anymore, i shout. i always have this image of an angry cheetah in my head whenever i shout out. owh. aku panas baran juga. sometimes.
6. cynical, bitter, very very sarcastic. i don't know where that came from because none of my parents are sarcastic. same goes to my brother but my sister is developing the same skills. congratulations!
7. i think too much. and apparently more on the negative side. but i'm learning to think positively now. but then again, i'm quite a slow learner.
8. when i'm depressed, i switch off my mobile phone and sleep. not that everything's going to be fine when i wake up but it' a good rest. tidur dalam jangkamasa yang lama, bangun, capai rokok. and the brain starts working out things.
9. a hopeless romantic. hopeless gila babi.
eh. just 8 stuff lah. alang-alang, add #10: i suck at mathematics.
okay. you people just tag yourselves lah. i'm indecisive.
chill yo!
Our Living Language : In the 1980s and 1990s, chill gained currency as a slang term meaning "to relax, calm down." It is first recorded in 1979 and comes from Black English slang, which has frequently been a source of slang and informal words in Standard English, often through the medium of various African-American musical styles (in this case, rap and hip-hop).
no boundaries. no strings attached. no more endless arguments. no more murderous jealousy. no more stalking. no more motherfucken assumptions.
happy thoughts. happy thoughts. happy thoughts.
chill yo!
or of course there's this word called 'pretend'.
