Definition of Life and Memories.

Hohoho, I had been looking forward to have a trip to Kajang and Cheras long ago and yesterday I made it to have a night at Derek’s ‘mansion’ ! Well, well, well, where shall I start from…

Alright, after our English class at college, I followed Ke Xin and Derek to KL Sentral using the same route as usual and I met Ke Xin’s friend, Audrey at the KL Sentral. Audrey is weird with how she speaks, lame yet cracked us all up. Audrey gave us a not-very-funny joke about the Mahathir, George Bush, and Deng Xiao Ping but the joke made Ke Xin laughed very contagiously, I didn’t know actually none of my friends is normal. Audrey came from Ipoh, Perak which is my hometown though, we did chat a little about Ipoh, but seriously it doesn’t ring my bell when Ke Xin told me that there’s a restaurant in Ipoh serves good ‘chicken feet’.

Audrey, Ke Xin, Derek, and I were waiting for their friend (I forgot the name!) for about 20 minutes with our ‘favourite’ companion – the music played by the advertisement board over and over again since the day we attended our college. After the long-yet-not-really-long wait, their friend arrived and then we bought the ticket for KTM, to KAJANG! Umm..we waited for another 10-15 minutes at the platform for the snail train to arrive, we did have some fun laughing from our silly conversations though.

Yay, the train arrived and it was a little empty. I was told by Derek that the train we had a ride on is called ‘shutter’ which means it only stops at certain stations. In the train, I was starting to get bored, so I looked to my left to see what was Derek doing with his laptop, nice, POKEMON THE MOVIE?! Moreover, it’s the latest edition, like I really care about it and his enthusiasm with it. We had some laughter and jokes in the train and that really made my day. The journey took about 10 minutes, not that long afterall.

We arrived at the Kajang station and waited for Derek and Kexin’s parents to pick them back home to have a bath before going out later that night. Conversations and jokes took place and we had another good laugh again.

About 20 minutes later, Derek’s uncle came and pick us up. Kajang ikimashou! On the way, the scenery besides the highway is really sweet and attractive, and I took a photo of it..

Scenery

The drive took another 15 minutes and we reached Derek’s house. We took a bath (not at the same time!!) and surf the internet for some while while waiting for Ke Xin’s gang to get ready. And oopps, I only brought a shirt with me and thus I had to wear the same jeans and socks for the night, aww. Half an hour later, Derek’s uncle gave us another ride to Mahkota Cheras to have our dinner. Pfft guess what? I saw a shop named Pulau Ketam which we have been mentioning it so frequently, it all started when I asked ‘ Do people go to Pulau Ketam to eat crabs?’.

We met Audrey and Kexin’s sister (forgot what’s her name). We actually planned to eat steamboat but for unknown reason we had chosen to eat others. Pity me, they kept saying I am the boss and force me to pick somewhere to eat although I mentioned billion of times ‘anywhere will do’. Another time, for unknown reason we ended up having our dinner in a Bak Kut Teh restaurant. To be honest it tasted not very good but I couldn’t blame though since they are treating me.

Later, we went for Tong Sui. Bad, seriously, the driver was Audrey and she kept threatening me to leave the car. I tried to leave the car several times but they cried to beg me to stay HAHAH!!!!  We had Chee Cheong Fun and Tong Sui at the roadside. Their conversation became hilarious when they were talking about how many children they wanted to have. Soccer addicts, they said three of them will form a team consist of their children. When they were naming their ‘imaginary children’, they decided to name all of their sons Joe Cole, WHAT THE HELL! Imagine a team with all the players named Joe Cole… ‘Joe Cole made a nice defence, and now he is passing to Joe Cole, nice passing from Joe Cole, Joe Cole(another one) gets the ball and heading to the goal post..GOAL! Joe Cole scored a goal!’ said audrey when she was trying to be the commentator. Still in the same topic, the referee and commentator are also named Joe Cole, we were laughing so terribly!

Opps, my stomach was getting bloated for the second time of dinner, however Derek’s friend, Justin arrived, sate stall, Derek was planning to go. Kexin’s gang left minutes after the presence of Justin. Justin – the dare devil of the streets was really daring though, he raced with a Kancil from a traffic light to a split path. 140km per hour ON THE ROAD WITH  JAM PACKED OF CARS. I think that was my first time having experience such an amazing speed, on a busy road. About 10 minutes later, we went to pick up their friends and then headed to sate stall.

There were six people (three girls and three guys) and we ordered 30 sticks of sate. Third time of having dinner within one and a half hour time, impressive. Kajang sate was true for its name, it was delicious! Still, I asked Justin and Derek for the reason the sate in Kajang is the most famous spot in Malaysia, Derek said he was unsure about it and he thinks maybe it is because of their peanut gravy. As I mentioned earlier, none of my friends is normal, Derek had his peanut gravy with 6 spoons of sambal (Malay spices) and Justin drank his bowl of gravy like plain water, are they abnormal or I am the one who is abnormal for being too normal?

The sate were great, but I didn’t know it wasn’t much enough to stuff the girls’ intestine, they decided to go Mc Donalds, urgh, my day…For the 4th time having a meal within 2 hours in a night, I carried my belly filled with carbohydrates, proteins and water and slowly walked in McD with a not-very-happy look. I ordered a banana pie and a medium sized cup of iced lemon tea. I was feeling so sorry to my stomach for working extra time, banana pie’s away *BOOOM*. I was drinking so slowly and it was a suffer but I refused to show off my torment in front of them. In my heart I was mumbling ‘ Please, I still want to see tomorrow’s daylight! ‘ and prayed that the 5th time does not come, or else I will need to start writing my will.

Yep, game’s over, 5th time did not come. Justin fetched us back to his home to copy some files into Derek’s pendrive. Later Derek and I walked back to his house which located nearby from Justin’s house. There were a lot to do in Derek’s house, you can sleep in different positions, bathe,  stand, breathe, but no entertainment. I was so excited when he said he has something to watch and it turned to a nightmare when he said it was a Hong Kong drama ‘royal tramp’, great. I am really not used to his mouse because it was too sensitive, so I am ‘being forced’ to pass him the laptop. He looked like a professional in a game and I was thinking ‘wow he got skills’, and he did show some skills for being the first one to die and leave game with a straight look. It was around one a.m. and I could not stand anymore for sleeping late on the previous night so I fell asleep while listening to the songs in my phone.

I could not sleep well, my stomach had been aching for the night, guessed I ate too much that night. Derek has something similar with me, which is his alarm clock is used to wake him up, then switch it off and sleep again. I woke at around 10:15 a.m. then had a bath. After my refreshing bath (thanks to the shower, was so comfortable), I waited a while more then I forced him to wake up (NO! not those boy-girl way). While we were waiting for his mom to give us a ride to the restaurant, we downloaded the Scary Maze game (a game where a scary picture pops up when you almost finish the game) and I let Derek played it. He screamed and frightened when the scary picture pops out although he knew it will happen.

After having my Pan Mee at a Chinese Restaurant, he brought me to the Kajang KTM station which situated not far away. Luck was having a holiday, it rained. We were like the warriors under the rain, walking in two steps with one step. My hair was so wet and shiny as if I was an actor for a shampoo advertisement haha. I was on time and managed to catch the train to KL Sentral. The train was so full of people and people are squeezing here and there, I was so tired and had to stood there with many types of odour, not strawberry or apple smell though, should be those got under the rain. After 40 minutes of being an oven-fresh heated hamburger with two packets of chilli sauce with a spoon of pepper, I was being put into the Malaysia freezer with 2 years warranty – the LRT. LRT was completely different from KTM, there were so little people and it was so cold.

Urgh, after another 20 minutes of suffer, I went into my car and took a deep breathe and then a long sigh, it’s over….

Me, emotionless.
