Take off, thirty one… moon eight, fifty seven….

I’m smiling now. No, you can’t see it, but I AM smiling now!

It’s a beautiful, ear-to-ear smirk. I’m smiling so widely, my eyes are completely shut.. (Not much difference then, is there?)

But why? Why am I so happy?

Because……

……

……

It’s the 31st of August!! Yahoo!!

It’s an auspicious day indeed!! It’s the 31st!!!

Finally!!!

31 percent off every handpacked Baskin Robbins ice cream!!

OOOOOH YEAAAAHH!!

And, er, coincidentally, it’s also our 50th anniversary of independence.

Anyway, before we continue with this post, we must hold a minute of silence due to the passing of Common Sense.

Yes my friends, LOGIC has now been rendered kaput due to the fact that Malaysia actually won a football match!!! Unbelievable!

Of course, weirder things have happened…

Such as:

Fact One: You can’t buy newpapers from UM WITHOUT having to walk two kilometres from your abode.

Fact Two: The Internet connection in UM is pretty….. er….. not so good (gotta be careful with my words)

Fact One + Fact Two: I’ve thus, become a frog under a coconut shell (a huge one) and the self-proclaimed General Knowledge King is no more.

Life without newspaper sucks!! Absolutely.

I mean, i don’t think i can cope.

Life without girls? Fine.

Life without games? Okay.

But no surat khabar? How can like that? Aiyoyo….!!

Nowadays, when people say "apa khabar?" i’ll reply "Tak tau, sini no newspaper lah, brother.."

But I must cope!!! This is a battle i must win!!

And all i ask of you, dear reader, is to give me moral support because i don’t know if i can carry on…!!!

Bah, F the newspaper. As if i’ll have time to read it.

Ever since i came here, my Busy-o-meter has never gone below the "Damn Busy" level.

Worse, one of my roommate got chickenpoxed, and i haven’t got it.

So I’m spending every waking moment staring at my forearms hoping that no red dots appear.

If like that then where got time read paper???

As such, the world seems to have gone on without me..

I am left behind in a debris, typing this down and licking my B&R ice cream….

Gah, can life get any worse??

….

….

P.S. The whole thing above should not be taken seriously (nothing in my blog should be) ..

I am grateful that i have food to eat, a place to sleep in and a university to accept my big mouth…

And don’t worry, i do value our 50th anniversary of independence above Baskin Robbins.

Merdeka!

I hope we all appreciate what we already have, instead of craving for something which is out of reach.
