Finally, I'm back! It must have been my longest hiatus from blogging. Well, the past few days have been a real pain in the ass. Here's why...
1) FYP has been a bitch...bloody deadline is coming and this is on my mind most of the time, not to mention taking up most of my time.
2) The sun has been a bitch. Even the moon has been a bitch The scorching weather is unbearable. Day or night, the heatwave doesn't seem to go and the rain doesn't seem to come. This is the only time I dread staying in hall cos there is no aircon. I can't wait to finish up the work in school and get home to my aircon room.
3) The mosquitoes in my room has been a bitch. Bloody mossies keep biting me each night. Can't sleep in peace. I cover myself with the blanket to prevent getting bitten, BUT! refer to number 2.
So, when mingmong is not feeling happy, he does not have the mood to crap. But, anyway I have gotten some FYP stuff out of the way for now and its time to update...
On Saturday afternoon @ 2:15pm, my secret identity had to be unleashed. It was a case of national security, the country's safety was at stake. And this was a job for....
MAMBO!
Years back, some dude decided to hit the gym, pump some iron, tie a red cloth over his forehead, call himself Rambo, and try to save the world with his guns. What amateur stuff. That dude was just a copycat of the real deal.
Anyway, the country need the help of a real action hero, and I had to be called out of retirement, PES E or not, Mambo had to save the country. At 1415 hrs on Saturday, my call sign "Full Moon" was flashed on the tv screens, announced on the radio, and they even called my hp. Sure sounded like they needed my help. So, like all true superheroes, I am always prepared to get back to action. I gave the secret vase a twist, and the secret armoury chamber opened....
Forget those crap you see on the tv where some bloke runs into a public phone booth and changes his clothes in a flash. What you get for rushing when changing is you wear your red underwear on the outside. But, real action heroes need time to prepare for battle. So I whip on my super hero outfit, but realised I forgot to bring matching socks...
What the heck, no one will notice anyway. Next, not forgeting my special Mambo knife...those Rambo ones u see on tv are just designed to look cool and mean, but a real fighter can wield any kind of sword.
Finally, not forgetting the most important preparation before any battle....WATER PARADE.
Other pre-battle prep includes: 1) did u have at least 7 hrs of sleep? (we all know its crap cos we can't anticipate a battle), 2) do you feel sick? (we also know that's crap cos we still have to fight)
Finally, all prepared to head out to save the country!
Looking mean huh? Anyway, as I was about to leave...I saw my neighbour Wayne. It must have been pure coincidence that he was decked out in camouflage prints too, or...he could be one of my many fans wanting to be an action hero too. He was even armed with a camera to take pics of his favourite super hero. Camera is shown in the pic.
So...I rushed down to the carpark. Just like Batman has the Batmobile, Mambo has the Mambobile!
That's the Mambobile in Jetmode. The car doors open up to become wings and the boot opens to reveal a rocket booster. And, Batman has his sidekick Robin, Mambo also has his side kick Alex. Though Alex is not as cool a name as Robin, but Alex is called Alex because he has the special power of shape changing: changing between male and female. When he is male, he is Alex, when he is female, he is Alexandra. Or should I say SHE?
So, off we went to save the country from destruction. Bloody hell, we should have just taken a cab there. We parked the car at the designated car park and waited a million years for the tonner to come pick us up. When we reached camp, it was time for action. We jumped off the tonner, sprinted to the frontline as fast as we could, using up all the energy we had, and we signed our names on the sign-in book. (frontline here meant front of the queue line.)
Then, that's all for saving the country. Our job was done. The power of Mambo's right hand. One wield of the pen and his job of saving the country is done. Didn't even get to rip off my top to show my rippling ab (singular) .
Then, Alex and I rushed back to shower and change. We both had hot dates waiting for us. All superheroes have their babes, so we have them too! heh. Ok my date is not mine la, Alex's is. In fact, Alex plans to take advantage of the tax rebate for having children early.
So, Alex went to watch Chingay with his darling supermodel cum pageant girl gf while I went to meet Ms. Huiying for dinner and movie. Well, because of my national duties, I was rather late, but still managed to eat dinner. We ate Pastamania, first time there, and she gave me a stunned look when I said i was a Pastamania virgin. Keen to show her experience in it, she whipped out her Pastamania card which showed like 6 or 7 stamps. The food was not bad, always knew it was good but just didn't have the chance to go eat it.
Decided to heck the braces and start smiling with teeth. I'm proud of my red and orange braces! Come monday, I'm gonna get pink again when I go to the dentist.
Anyway, we went to watch "A moment to remember" after dinner. Some Korean love show about this gal who falls in love with this guy and she gets Alzheimers even though she is still young. Suay. So she loses her memory gradually and the remainder of the show is all about crying. Quite sad show la, like all typical Korean love shows. Huiying was evidently crying cos I saw her wiping her eyes and cheeks and chin etc. Must have been alot of tears. So I kindly offered her my tissue, and secretly taking a piece out too when I did. Ya so I did let a tear drop from my eyes cos it was sad! I have feelings ok! The whole theatre was sobbing and sniffing. Its quite contagious. After the show she asked if I cried, but I said it was just some dust that went into my eyes. Never even offer to blow the dust out for me. So much for offering her tissue! Think she used up the whole packet of tissue too since I din see it again. Next time we watch a sad love show, I'll bring a bucket for you ok? hehe
One more thing, we got a bottle of green tea to drink in the theatre. So she took 2 straws and put it in the bottle. BUT, the bottle was too deep and the straws drowned. I gave her a 3rd straw and she put it in and it drowned again. That was the last straw (pun intended). Din get her anymore straws. She proudly posed for me even though I told her I will let the world know about her clumsiness.
After the show, we checked out a bit of the Chingay and she went meet her frens. While I headed home for another battle. Mahjong! I lost AGAIN. I don't know why I keep losing man. Do I suck or am I just not cut out to gamble. I lose in almost every gambling game. Oh well, I will persevere and I will be a Mahjong King one day. Just need to re- mark my tiles more clearly.
So that was the most event-filled day of the past week. The rest has been a bitch and I hope the next few days would be better.
Oh yesterday, air stewardess huiying got activated for duty too! Just like me. But she had 4 hours to get into action while I had 6. She is also actually part of the superhero fraternity too. She is........ Singapore Girl! ;)
Thanks again for the other good reviews I've been getting for my posts. See Gnip, everyone is taking it well unlike you.
Till next time...
p/s Don't tell anyone my secret identity!
p/s/s Ryan did not know who Gnip was. Fortunately, he salvaged some pride by solving it after a while, otherwise I would have another riddle again.
p/s/s/s Why must the codenames be so weird? Full Moon? They should have more garang/kilat code names like Silent Killer, Rippling Muscles, Iron Balls etc..
