Standing tall at 181cm, weighing over 100kg and at the age of 21, I am expected to be brave to do anything. Well, I am not really afraid of anything and I shall give it a try to anything if I am given the chance. I am always the first one to do flying fox, abseiling, saving people from drowning (I was only Standard 5 that time.) and others. However, there is one thing that is still bothering me since I was a small kid until now.

-drum rolls-

I, Jason Lioh Kee Meng hereby, is proudly to announce that I am not able to watch horror film.

-runs away to hide from incoming rotten tomatoes and vegetables-

It is true that I am not able to watch any horror film. Although I know everything is about sound effect, picture effect and special effect, I still cannot get over the fact that it is a horror film that will freak me inside out. Whenever I watch a horror film, anything from the movie will haunt me for quite some time, which usually last about few days to one week. Sometimes, it lasts even longer. Every object I see or touch and in any atmosphere I am in especially when I am alone, I shall remember the scene from the movie which eventually freak me out even before I start to imagine the same thing that happened in the movie might just happen to me.

I went to an open house party organized by my classmates some time around January 2004. Everything was fine until one of them suggested to watch “The Ring” after the BBQ and it was already 2AM! Shit! I did not drive on that night and I have to wait for my friend to fetch me back. He did not want to fetch me back and I have no choice but to watch with them. Throughout the 90 minutes, I covered my eyes and shut my eyes to avoid any direct visual or audio to the movie. I survived that night and went home at 4AM. Thank God! However, I was a little frightened as well and slept with the lights on! Fcuk!

However, there was one time when I was not so lucky. I was in my Alpha year and having my English class in a computer lab. Out of nowhere, Duncan suggested to our English lecturer that we should watch a movie for that class as nobody was interested in attending / giving lectures. Yes, out of all movies, Duncan suggested “IT” by Stephen King. The worst part was we were not allowed to go back in that 2 hour English class. I had no other choice but to put myself into trouble. There was this scene when the little kid opened his family photo album, blood was oozing out from the book itself. When I went back and wanted to look at the birthday pictures which my roomate took long time ago, I was so scared that I did not want to open the album, fearing that blood would ooze out. There was another scene when the little kid was bathing inside the hostel bathroom and the showers, one by one started to spray water at the little kid as the force of the water gradually increased. The clown / killer came out from the leakage hole on the floor and settled the little kid. I actually hesitated to bath in the middle of the night when all my housemates and roomates were sleeping, even though the weather was freaking hot! The effect faded away after four days.

There was one time when I went out with my Form 6 friends who were studying near my university which is about 15 minutes drive. There was no nice movie to watch but yet they insisted on watching a movie. No prize for guessing what movie was it. Another horror film! I have forgotten the title, but it was a movie directed and casted by all British. They know very well that I am not able to watch, but yet they persuaded me to do so by offering to pay for my tickets. The whole group wanted to watch and I had no other choice but to join them. The first 15 minutes was fine, the movie started to get spooky in the second 15 minutes and I grabbed the girl’s hand who was sitting beside me! By the third 15 minutes, I was outside the cinema! Later, they treated me to a meal as a token of apology.

That day, when I went to watch “Hitch” alone, the screen was showing “The Eye 10″’s trailer. Before you proceed, I suggest you should click here to read Michael Ooi’s post on “The Eye 10″. I actually diverted my eyes to the couple next to me when the trailer was being screened. The sounds had already made my heart pumping albeit I did not have any glimps at the screen. Thank God that the movie made me happy after that!

I wonder how am I going to watch horror film with any girls when I am more afraid than her. Never mind, I shall try to avoid as much as possible unless she FORCE / INSIST that I watch with her, then I might sit in the cinema for 15 minutes.

NeeNee, want to watch “The Eye 10″ this weekend or not?

Thursday night, all of sudden, I suggested to Yok Cheng (Sleeping Princess) from *~In The Silence of My Heart~* that we eat pizza buffet this weekend. She agreed and I asked Jason Tee (JxT2J) from buangmasa.net and Fabian Kueh from Fabulous Age to join us. Everybody said “OK” and we went today.

We arrived the shop at about 12:45PM and left about 2PM. The food was nice, the seating was nice, the waiters were slightly sucks, and the atmosphere was bad due to some “jakuns” sitting beside us, occupying 4 full tables that were sat by about 15 peoples. They were bitching so loudly as if they were in the market. They even “yam-seng” with iced tea. -sweat-

We had 3 regular pizzas - Tuna Delite, Curry Chicken Delight and Classic Chiken, 5 liters of iced tea, 13 fresh garden salad (1 spoon per bowl), 5 mushroom soups, 12 sticks of garlic twist and 4 cups of ice creams. Total price for 4 persons is RM 70.18 inclusive of 5% goverment tax and 10% service charge.

Oh well, not in the mood of blogging, so here are the photos.

You might ask, where are the pictures after half time? I was too busy eating and forgot to take pictures. Burrrrrrrrpppppp~!

P/S : This is not a bloggers meeting. All four of us are from the same university and co-incidently, we are bloggers. Alicia and Carol, next time we go together, ok?

Last night about 10:03PM, while I was IM-ing with Msau, Gabriel came into my room and I looked at him.

“Raymond met an accident and is now in the hospital.”
“Har? Okay.”

Then, everyone in the house (Gabriel, Sanjev, Cheng Yee, Vincent, Aelleyno and me) hurriedly got into the car and off we went to the Malacca General Hospital. We went to the receptionist and asked for Raymond. We were told that he was receiving treatment and asked us to wait for a while.

20 minutes past and we finally saw Raymond coming out of the room. Ray noticed us and was waving at us like he has never seen us for few years, with his usual sweet smile on his face. We were flabbergasted. He met an accident that caused him to faint at the scene and did not remember anything after that and yet he could still smile at us! -sweat-

He did not remember anything and the moment he got up, he was in the hospital, lying on the bed already. Nobody knew what happened. He fractured his right, back shoulder and his hand was wrapped up like I did when I dislocated my arm badly last month. Other than that, there was no bruises, cuts and even scratches on his body. Weird!

Anyway, the doctor suggested him to stay back in the hospital for at least 6 hours to check on his condition. So, he was warded. We went back to our house to get his clothes and towels for him to clean up. We shall be picking him up later in the morning, 8AM I supposed.

Think on the bright side, you do not have to rush the assingment which the due date is Friday, 25th of March, 9.30AM. You do not need to sit for the up coming final examination and have more time (about 1 more month) to prepare for the supplementary paper. However, I hope you recover as soon as possible. Please, next time be more careful when you are on the motorbike and on the road. That goes to everyone as well, ok?

“Berhati-hati di jalan raya.” (Becareful when you are on the road.)

P/S :

By the time I am publishing this, he is now sleeping on his bed, peacefully.

Mumsgather, I do not know what to say and how to comfort you, but I shall pray for your good health and hope that it will not happened again. I was really freaked out this morning when I saw your post this morning as I did not sleep the whole night. I stared at my screen for 30 seconds…… Please, please, you should try find somebody to look after you. Jason is worried although we are only online / blogging friends. Twinsmom, that is same to you as well when I saw your message on MG’s Tag-Board.

Mun Kit, my gay partner is going on 2 months hiatus as well. All the best, dude!

Please avoid commenting on Mumsgather’s personal matter in Twinsmom’s and my blogs. Your cooperation is highly appreciated.

I went to my university’s finance department to clear my doubts regarding about my outstanding tuition fees and submit the form so that I can pay the amount in 3 separate amounts within a certain amount of time. As expected, the place was packed with students who were rushing to pay the fees.

Throughout three semesters in our academic year, these are the times when finance department is the most visited / packed department. For your information, we are required to pay the outstanding tuition fee 3 weeks before our final examination. If one does not do so, he / she will be barred from sitting the final examination and registering courses and subjects for the up coming trimester. Not only that, we, Malaysians love to do things at the very last minute which resulted in today’s situation.

I joined the queue behind an Indian couple and there were like 15 peoples in front of me. They were talking loudly in their mother tongue as if everybody was willing to listen to their conversation. Never mind about that as the place was quite noisy as well. I waited for nearly 30 minutes and it was downed to about 8 people in front of me. The Indian couple did not shut their mouth up and they were talking for the whole 30 minutes with less than 10 seconds silence to breath. He was holding his brand new Nokia 3310 when the phone rang. He did not pick up immediately and let it rang for 15 seconds, as if he was listening to some pop songs played by his polyphonic-less (monotone) mobile phone. It could be some theme songs from some wicked cool Hindu / Tamil movies, you never know.

For God’s sake, it is just a monotone with a black and white screen manufactured by Nokia many decades ago. There is nothing to boast about and show off. Even my neighbour’s daughther who is studying in standard 4 has a polyphonic ringing tone with 65k vibrant colours mobile phone. Although your Nokia 3310 is the most durable phone in the market, please, do not act like it is some latest gadget with the coolest functions in the whole world. I do not mind taking my Nokia 6100 that has polyphonic ringing tone and 4096 colours and throw it right at your face. Not only that, he was talking to the phone like some Ah Peks in those coffee shop who has hearing problems, with a style as if he was doing some business with some drug lords that worth RM100k. The girl was also acting like a small kid that got excited over some lame ringing tone.

My thesis is that Ah Beng and Ah Lian not only includes Chinese, but other races as well. Please refer to 5xmom’s post on Ah Beng and Ah Lian.

1 minute later, his friends, another Indian couple showed up and they greeted each other. Now, what they did piss me off. He actually asked his friends to queue right behind him, which was also right in front of me. God damn it! They cut the queue that has 15 to 20 people behind me just like that and they pretended as if they have been queuing there for a long time and nothing has happened. What the fcuk! I looked the queue in front of me, another 6 people before me and estimated the waiting time, which was about 15 minutes. I decided to keep quiet then.

Finally, the Ah Beng and Ah Lian went into the room and the Indian couple was in front of me, waiting outside the door. I tapped on his shoulder so that I could talk to him. He turned his head and looked at me. Please take note that the following conversation has been “perfected” for easy understanding.

“Excuse me, do you know that I am the next one right after your friend since I have been queuing behind him for more than 30 minutes?”
“Err……”
“I managed to see your receipt and seems like you are my junior. Supposedly, you have taken the subject PML 1018 – Moral And Ethics during your Beta year. Did you fail the subject?”
“Err……”

He then turned his head to the girl and talked something in some language that I did not understand. Later, the couple walked away and when he walked past me, he stared at me. I gave him my sweetest and cutest smile. I looked behind and saw them joining the queue which was about 20 people behind me. I made them waited for 15 minutes for nothing. The ABAL came out of the room and I walked into the room and proceed with my stuff.

Victory was mine. -grins-

I have been noticing that LX 7 is getting slow response and the range has been minimized. It must be the battery’s fault since I have been using the battery since August 2004. I guessed LX 7 was not performing well due to the hunger of power. Therefore, I went to the nearby grocery shop and bought my self Energizer E2 battery that uses titanium technology. I have no idea what titanium is doing inside the battery and what technology are they using. Well, RM6.80 for 2 pieces of silver coated battery sure is freaking expensive. It does not matter as long as it last and manage to feed my LX 7 for another 6 to 8 months. Did I say the battery is cool and an art?

P/S : I guessed somebody has really found her first love. The song is dedicated to her. By the way, if you are reading this, you were really “bad” and arrogrant towards me last night, OK? On another issue, I apologize to 5xmom for something that she knew.
