She played a quiet game... Local movie's a blockbuster but... (Wednesday 10/1/07)

I'm appointed to meet my ex from Taiping that worked in Penang, decided to come to KL work permanent. Only matter was she hadn't found any jobs. Same to me, she knew i'm free enough to guide her places that she couldn't reach by her own. Actually i don't feel like wanna go, i mean going out with her, but i felt that it's been many times we ought to meet up, either i never turn up, or she might just not interested to come out.

I'm naming her 'princess' all the way. It's about her character, i felt pressurized to be with her as i knew she could be in demand on everything she desired. I would be somewhat, a slave following her around. I don't like to be that way, yet she's only in her early 20's... I'm reaching end of my 20's...

Ok, you would wanna know if she's pretty? Before i get to meet her up, i've waited so long at the entrance of Times Square. She called and was stucked around the junction coming into Jalan Imbi, she said the mall that still under construction were under attention of all the crowds passing by, it's like the building's gonna fall down or something... Huh? If it does, my oh my, KL's creating another massive accident history.

She came after 15 minutes later, and once i got in, i saw her with her sunglasses on and kept talking on the phone, urged me to keep quiet. I don't know why she's so careful at anyone to anyone. No secrets, i mean, we're not couples, we're just friends. Sigh, girls always have the silent things on guys. But girls can't be as mysterious as guys.

And of course, she's mysterious, and guess what? She was once made me curious of her but since of all times she only kept it for herself, i mean, i don't give a shit anymore. Whatever she desired, i would just let it be. Wanna play games, girl? Don't think you could win me...

Once she was off the hook, she showed me the newspaper that she found the job and was on the way there. She wanted me to tell her the location of the place based on the uncertain address... Damn, it only written 'Taman Connaught', so big, where it should be at? She said she made the calls and roughly understand the exact location.

While i looked at it, the way it shown was something like fake shit job, like which i used to believe in and worked, conned and suffocated without salary for months, i thought it's best to tell her be careful of this kinda company. She went paranoid and asked me what can i advise her if she's rejecting the offer. She even asked me to help her do the rejection...

Aw man, she's insane. It's not even my concern, or my responsibility to reject them. In fact, no one does that, you think you're applying sick leave?

She called and everything comes back to zero substance again. She went suggesting to go somewhere lepak and got me surprised... She was confused to know where we should go and i thought going somewhere near my place would be better as i could leave to other place easier.

So we went Times Square... Damn, this place becoming my another home.

We had lunch at McD's, her treat as she wanted to, for the appreciation of me helping her... What? I don't know what she's up to. She seemed very sad and never wanna say anything at all. I was the one who did the talking and i found myself getting sick and tired looking at her face like that. I know i should get her some happy mode, believe me, i tried.

After lunch, we walked around. She saw some nice funky decoratives and bought a bed clock. Sigh, i don't see why she's in urge to buy that thing, and even she wanted to buy shoes... I asked her if she's having problems and perhaps buying things should calm her down. She told me she had spent RM800 in a week of her arrival, inclusive car petrols, and some other junk she bought and went so fancy restaurants...

I don't believe this, i guessed the guy at Penang caused her becoming such a big spender.

She left at 2.30pm, said she was tired... I was all alone at Times Square, thought of going back home, and i'm afraid i might fell asleep. I walked around the malls again, till 5pm, i took Monorail and reached KL Sentral.

At Brickfields, many Indians and foreigns stayed there wandering around, looking for friends and shopping. I've seen many of those foreigners like Bangladesh and Pakistan people holding MP4 players with Bollywood videos playing. My, they were more updated than mine, wonder where they got those videos...

I just simply took a bus that could reach Mid Valley. Just nice, the bus stopped at the north entrance. I called John and wondered if he's around. He was working and it's best to meet him up there since i'm way too early to be at the cinema, promised that we'll watch 'Cicak-man'.

I bought a mug of beer, sat at the balcony of Brewball. It's cozy, cold and lots of chicks to spot at. Actually, i've been having 4 years of relationship with my girl and usually when i see couples passing me by, i felt i missed her more and eager to have her by my side... But now it's different. I don't feel the envy, i don't feel the eager... It's not that i don't love her or miss her, it's me that i'm matured... It's like one of the examples, symptoms of getting old, bored of going clubbings, playing video games... Rather like being a ghetto boy than urban man...

John was busy at his work, and once he got free, he went to talk to his employer. Soon, he asked me join them at another table and we introduced each other.

John's employer was a nice guy, and another friend of his, who was his college mate in Nilai. All the while, i was having conversation with them and then i had it with his employer. I was curious about the franchise thing that he had mention earlier. So far i got nothing much from him, but he had given some other knowledge for all of us, it were much valueable than i expected.

Soon, his employer left and John treated me another beer and our conversation went on until my girl reached. Moments later, cy came and Andrik's still nowhere to be seen. The last i heard that he's with his friend in Bangsar.

It's almost starting and finally he showed up just in time. As the movie started, every audiences, mainly Indians and Malays quite sceptic at the show. They can't even keep themselves quiet and cy was really pissed at them, while Andrik was beside him to control his anger. Again they did, cy yelled, "Fuck! Man..." and the audiences from our behind questioned, "What was that?" "Don't know... What's going on?" and later on, no sound coming from behind again.

Not only cy was getting his nerves on them, same to me. I wished i could do something about the disciplinary of the cinema nuisances with some voice-outs on newspapers, that they should really kept in mind not to utter stupid remarks at any movies that really sucked while others trying to enjoy their paid seats, food and movies. Till then, my blog's part of the contribution, although i knew my blog's hits quite low in each week.

Overall, the movie was quite nice, and it's a breakthrough for local movie maker, like KRU. Cy's only appeared on the first scene in 1 second, Andrik went laughing out loud. It's okay for them, but they still prefer local movies like Sepet, Gangsters and some others. Anyway, it's a stupid but funny movie, kids would love them very much, our front at our seats, all kids... And they were the ones never made any noises comparing the adults, which considered our adults generation were just more than ego, thought we could do anything we want.

As we rendezvous at the usual mamak, cy's not there but Andrik. Since i had some nice shuffling videos, perhaps the best time to ask him before cy comes. What he meant of my knowledge of the shuffle culture, he guided me to watch few clips selected from him. And he went on telling me lots of the culture's story while cy came, and he started to criticise me of being so into it. Can't blame me, i love dancing, that's what made Andrik's in fit figure while i'm working at it.

Seriously, i've seen many of Yoga and fitness centres around the towns and cities, specially to encourage people to take care of their health. In fact, i'm skint and no way i should encouraged myself going such places, since my girl suggested to go swimming as it's the best of all the fitness could provide, muscles, staminas, and lots more. That's why every swimmers get beautiful body figures...

Dancing's part of it, and you don't have to pay due to dance, but dancing in clubs or raves (of course, you wanna pay for it, or not, it's up to you...) are good, when everyone dances, you do too.

Soon, we left to our home respectively and i told my girl to call a day while it's late for her during weekdays. She was fine and went home earlier after fetched me back.

The game my ex played, i'm tee-downed for sure, but the movie made me alive again... Yet, my ex asked me to go another place again the next day, i rejected her... You know, it's not easy to go out with her...
