I woke up late today, although I have a press preview at 10.30 in GSC, Mid Valley. Alllll thanks to a stupid nightmare. And here's a thought, Indonesian horror filmmakers, if you want to make another horror movie, please hire Meriam Bellina as the ghost. Cuz yesterday, i had a nightmare about her. It was first a dream, that I was again wearing the PRESS tag for Cinema Online covering for a horror movie called "Mendam Beradu" (don't blame me for the stupid title. It's not me, it's the dream), and was approaching Meriam Bellina for an interview. But then I was whisked away alone into the cinema hall and then suddenly she turned into a pontianak. Damn scary. Terjaga and it was 5am. Tidor balik pukul 7.

Asked my dad to hantar sampai bus stop section 2, and he looked at me with no words, put down his SAMPOERNA ciggy on top of the wooden table outisde the house and fetch the keys. I was like, "Aren't you going to finish your ciggarette?" and he looked at me with that face that says, "I'll finish it later when I return."
Why do men always leave the ciggy like that and then do something else, then continue? It can trigger fire and burn the house down!

And then, while at the bus stop waiting for U80, I realised that indeed it is near CNY and it's the 'budak-UiTM-bus-hogging' day. The bus is filled with budak2 UiTM with big bags. To top it all off, the driver was in a cheerful mood, like there's the "Myyyyy What a Happy Daaaaay" song on top of his head as he drove around leisurely, while it's already 10am and we're still in friggin Asiajaya. And of course, he HAD to initiate a chat with every single person boarding the bus. Yeah, chat on, driver man, go slower. I am in no rush at all to go to a press preview.

On the way I saw students of SM Projek on a cross-country race. Ah~ innit funny calling it 'merentas desa' when there's no 'desa' to be crossing about... try Kuala Selangor. THAT is a merentas desa. Masuk kawasan kampung, across the bridge, singgah beli aiskrim, pretend that you're not in a race at all and then arrive last all the time... sweet sweet memory...

Saw Inayah in the cinema hall. Aparently she didn't know that I've resigned already. Maybe that's why for the two minutes I was talking about "Only two people left in editorial..." she kept talking about "You and Zee..." Me, being the blur finally realises this and go, "Oh no, I've resigned. Only Zee and Swee in editorial now. Me doin freelance now." (Inayah was one of the ed team too, long before I joined ed)

Balik tu I hopped on the bus and realised that it's pakcik baik who is drivin. Pakcik baik is one of the more familiar faces for all this time I've been using the public transport. I called him that just because he got that innocent face. But he drives like a maniac and from Bangsar to Kompleks PKNS it took him only twenty minutes. But he was not THAT baik when one old nyonya accidentally pressed the alarm button and the bus stopped. After realisin that the old nyonya is not getting off after 5 minutes of stopping he screamed 'Turunlah!!!'... I was like, chill down, old man. She didn't mean to. When you're old you TOO would make that same mistake. But then again, maybe when I am at his age I TOO would get pissed off. Hmmm... Ugh, that's it. Stop trying to understand people's feelings.

Singgah PKNS to meet up with Iza (and her friend Faten), who got stood up by her mak andam. While looking at me closely she finally understand my notion of 'I'm slimmer'. Though, she thinks that I'm as thin as her now, though that would be seriously in the wrong... I said I am 'slimmer', not 'thinner'. They're different. And then keep tellin me "No, don't eat. Keep on with the shape." Hahaha, seriously, Iza. I must eat. I am indeed just a human. Food keeps me going, you know. It's not exercise, it's just my unscheduled waking up-sleeping-eating thing. It's not really healthy to be doin that actually.   

Balik rumah, Iza tumpang sembahyang, then write my review (click CHANGELING HERE), hantar for proofing, kena lecture dengan Zee about horrendous grammar, then makan, and tido.

Anyway, I wanna create an entry about this boycotting thing that has been annoying me for ages now... but I guess I'll do that some other time.
