Nah, I don't really mind staying here.
It's just it's the first time staying back at college for a weekend since Matriks started.
So yeah, big deal.
At the end of next week, I have a story to tell my grandchildren.

" Hangpa tau tak?"
"Apa nek?"
"Nenek ni, dulu pi belejaq kat kolej matrikulasi selangor tau, dekat Banting."
"Oh ye ke nek?"
"Haaaa. Ada satu kali tu, nek tak boleh balik hujung minggu."
"Kenapa nek?"
" Ada larian KAKOM."
"Larian KAKOM tu ape nek?"
"Tak tau lah. Nek pun dah lupa, tapi takpalah, nek nak cerita ni. Nek tak balik ghumah dua minggu!!! Lama tu!"
" Fuish. Dua minggu nek? TERRRRORRR lah nek!!!"

Huge smile spreads across old nenek's face, she's glad her grandchildren thinks she's awesome :D

Babalabashabalabadingdong.

Can't. Go. Home. This. Week.

Eeeeek.

Larian KAKOM,
WHY ??

WHYYYY?????

Homeeeee.

Again, :D

Tak Sengaja.

Sengaja sebenarnya.
Mouse aku baruuu je landing atas semut yang tak bersalah. Reflex.
Kesiannnn Encik Mut.

Aku duduk kat tingkat 3, semut ada, lalat pun boleh sampai atas tu. Tak penat ke dorang? Agak tinggi lah kan tingkat 3 tu. Mestilah penat, tu la sebabnya kerja dorang lepak kat bilik aku. Dah penat kan mendaki gunung everest, lepak ah kat puncak. View best, makanan belambak. Bila hujan plak, kelkatu nak dekat seribu kot datang terbang2 dekat dalam toilet la, koridor la. Pastu bila terbang dalam bilik, aku cepat2 tutup lampu so dia terbang kat roommate aku punya seksyen hahha :D Pastu nanti dia terbang, terkena fan, dengarlah bunyi "tiungggg" pastu nampak dia terplanting kat sebelah sana pastu dlm keadaan mabuk cuba terbang balik kepada cahaya lampu roommate sebelahku.

Kat koridor, ada satu labah2 yang bontotnya warna ke-silver-an. Suka tengok, kadang2 macam ada deimon deimon (diamond) kat bontot dia tu, bulat, comel je. Tapi bila angin kuat, sarang dia pun dah mula berhayun hayun, lintang pukang lari balik bilik.

Praying mantis apa dalam BM? Mentadak eh? Haaa, tu dah jumpa warna hitam belegam satu, dan warna hijau daun satu.

Tambahan pula, toilet2 di asrama ni, boleh buat Zoo Serangga.
Serangga jenis apa kau nak tengok? Semuaaaa ada.

Belang2 hitam merah, warna cokelat(biasa tgk kan), warna hijau, warna hitam, warna grey, warna oren, besar gila nak mampos, kecik kecik, rupa lipas tapi bukan lipas, rupa kelkatu tapi bukan kelkatu, rupa semut tapi ada macam genetic disorder jd macam mutant lipas campur semut, semua adaaa.

Petang tadi baru nampak kupu-kupu (kot) yang bila dia stop rehat kat dinding, sayap dia flat kat dinding tu, macam muka transformers. Ada satu ni bila dia tak bergerak, rupa macam tengkorak. Ada satu ni, kecik nk mati, warna hijau, macam lipas KECIKKKKK tapi bukan lipas, boleh terbang, bila dia gigit, adoiii...tensen. Dan bukan satu sahaja yang datang untuk menjamu selera, die pg jemput satu kampung dia datang makan. Sakit dan gatal. Ngok ngek tol.

Tapi kan, bila dah mandi diteman beratus serangga setiap pagi, aku dah tak takotttt. Terroorr kan :D

Tapi, lipas. YEEEEEEEEESH. Tadi nampak satu BESARRR punya lipas, tapi dia lain skit. Kaki dia lagi berduri, macam keras punya duri, dan lagi panjang. Badan lagi nipis. Warna teh o. hahaaa :P Yuck. EEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE. Yech.

So, jika berminat, jemput datang ke Zoo Serangga, Tandas Asrama Vega :)
Ada 16 habitat. Masuklah satu2 untuk melihat serangga2 yang disebut di atas.

Oh dan p/s, kat tepi aku skrg ni, ada satu labah2 mati, kering kedontang dah. hahaaaa.

Woohooo! :D Seronoks!

The Harmony Silk Factory

Reading this book has required me to open my dictionary more times than I have ever opened a dictionary in my entire life. (Exaggerating, yes.)

But I think that's why I liked it so much. I didn't even know half of those words existed. And those words were formal, and sort of posh, which I think fit the novel perfectly because of the era it was set in. It's set in during and post WWII in Malaya by the way. The story is written through three perspectives of the notorious Johnny Lim's life, from Jasper's (son of Johnny) point of view, Snow's (Johnny's wife) point of view, and finally Peter's (Johnny's good friend) point of view. My favourite at first, was Snow's but as I read further I found Peter's side of the story more satisfying to read, as he explained the things that I was wondering about in earlier stages of the book. I think that's Tash Aw's way of writing too, he doesn't reaveal everything at the start in this book, he lets you wonder and wonder, and all of a sudden something happens, or someone comes into the picture and you find yourself re-reading previous pages to figure out what you'd missed, when in truth you didn't miss anything and it's just that frustration and curiosity that keeps your eyes glued until finally,

"Yeahhhh! I knew it!!"

or

"Ohhh! So that's who he was!".
or just plain old
"Oh My God!"

I like the way he described the setting, especially when he described it from an Englishman's view, because everything seemed so exotic, so warm and so vivid.

My mother didn't like this book because she felt it was a bit draggy, so when I wanted to read it I did have my doubts, but I really did enjoy it :) Good good read.

Well, for me at least.

Next on my 'to read' list, is another book by Tash Aw, Map of the Invisible World.

I'll let you know what it's like :)

Woohoo Tash Aw!
