Hm....been kinda occupied with lots of other rubbish lately....been doing alot of yoyo shows...maybe not alot but for about 3 weeks?during weekends.So..last weekend i had this job offer in Johor....to perform in Giant supermarket...help Dutch Lady, a bloody milk brand promote their yoyo.I got shock when i heard its Dutch Lady, cos since when they started investing into toys?arent they only on dairy products?

DAY 1
so i left on friday(26 sept) after class which is around 11am...actually i had 2 more classes on that day but i had to skip them.so in the mad 5 hour journey to Johor...yes 5 freaking hours...that is because they stop n all in the middle n were not really speeding all the way there....by the way.there was 2 malay dudes who drove us there...and they were singing and dancing in the car throughout the journey to Johor.

when we reach the damn hotel around 4pm...it looked er...kinda like motel from outside and though it was painted nicely i tried to give it a good impression in my mind as we are not in KL or something...so i cant expect a 5 star looking hotel in a small town...if not mistaken its in a place called Rinting.Dont ask me where it is though.So before entering the hotel we were all talking what are we gonna expect from it when we see our room.Then when we got our keys we and i went open my room door...i still remember its room 125...wat a number...ok..so when i open the door the 1st thing i did was laugh till i felt my lungs were comming out and my tummy ache so much that i cant take it anymore...and i was still half standing outside the door leaning againts the wall.

The reason why i was laughing was because the bed was so near the door...the room was freakin cramp i tell ya.So i took my bags in..and was wondering where to put the bags.Then when i lay down on my bed...guess what?it felt wet...kinda damp...i thought it was water vapour or something do i didnt really care.So after a few hours we went out with a friend whos from Johor...she brought us around and all..which was pretty nice of her spending so much money on petrol taking us here and there.Her lil bro was cool too...and the 1 thing that came to my suprise...they are so good in courting gals....i mean...i dont have that many gals admire me too..and hes not even good looking. -_-"

Anyways i was brought around Johor bahru and to places where teens hangout...something where you wont know if you go to places like this with you parents.And the weird thing is that they kept telling me stories about "akua's" (erm...transexual prositute?).So we came back after 1/2 day touring at around 2 am in the morning.So when we were back at the motel...with my friend and her bro...cos she wanted to use the toilet...anyways...she flip our blanket when she felt the bed was abit wet...and guess wat we saw?a spot with something that look like water and we were really sure it was simen(sperms) man...that was F***ing disgusting.How on earth am i gonna sleep on some man's sperms...who knows if they are still swimming around there...yuaks!

So after my friend left...i went down to the reception to request to change room as the aircond too wasnt working...so as i went down the reception i said "excuse me..." and a guy/gal look up at me and say "yes can i help you*with a big smile*" i went no....i dont want you to help me...no no no...man that was so freaky...after listening to a whole night of akua's i finally get 1 in my motel...and he/she has to be my receotion....man...she look so much like man..with his broad face and all...eww..

ok so we change room and all..and washed up and then bedtime...this time the room was cooler and the bed wasnt wet and all...i said to myself..this is the kind of place where people bring a gal and just spend 1 night having sex and leaving the after they are done.So when i was on the verge of falling asleep...my friend asked me did i remember to lock the door...i jump up from the bed and check...hehe...i wouldnt want to wake up the next day and find my pants missing and a guy sleeping next to me

DAY 2
Woke up around 8 something...and man was it freezing cold...the bloody blanky was as thin as the bed sheets.I had abit of sore throat that morning already...must be because of all the accumulated spicy food and not enough water and the aircond was so freaking cold...so there was internal heat n cold outside my body making me sick.After washing up we went down to have breakfast...and wow...you should see the menu as there wasnt a buffet breakfast.i can still remember the menu

choice 1: half boil eggs, 1 sausage
choice 2: 2 piece of toast bread,1 sausage, 1 fried egg
choice 3: Nasi lemak
choice 4: fried kuey teow

That was it...the whole night we suffer and that was the only choice of breakfast we had....i think the best thing i had that morning was the coffee.Then after breakfast we left to Giant supermarket...i was still in my darn sleepy mode ... so i sat at the bench day dreaming while the 2 dudes set up the booth and all.So basically the whole day was nothing as i only played yoyo the whole day...kinda stupid thinking of it as usually i would have a certain time to perform then i can rest the whole day...but now...i was like playin every 1/2 hour as there was no stage....no PA system...no music...man that suck big time.

So after finishing work we were brought around johor again by our friend and this time we had dinner at her grandma'a place which was kinda nice.There was this hole outside the house where the water tap was...and guess wat i saw commin out of the hole?Cockroaches...lots and lots of them...they kept comming out like no 1 business...and i couldnt help it but shouted loudly saying "oh my god!!! joe's appartment" and everyone laughed.After dinner...my friends and her bros and her other friends brought us to a place in town near the duty free zone to see some illegal car gathering ...those cars were equip with superb sound system.but unfortunately on the way there ...the police had a road block to stop all these cars with muffers (big ekzos), so there wasnt many cars that night...but still there were a few...to my suprise people in Johor upgrade all cheap cars like Kelisa and Kancil...and i sat in the only Rusa Turbo in JB -_-" so unstable due to its height.

After that we went back around 3am or something...and the 2 malay dudes werent event back yet...but and iwas exhausted...so i took a quick shower and fell asleep after that.

DAY3
The tiring morning begins...with me and my friend, Ray wanting to go back so badly...infact he is even more homesick then me...he kept saying "i want my bed...i want my computer" haha...he so much worse then me...and i kept telling him...its better than camping as we have a bed to sleep on..and a clean toilet...well...sort of.So this morning we didnt want to go down to the "cafe" to have breakfast but instead we ate the chinese biscuits that we bought during the 1st night that our friend brought us out.Even the 2 malay dudes didnt wake up early as they came back much later then us...haha they went clubbing it seems...can you believe it?they were so upset about their room as well..as they said this is the 1st time they stayed in such a place..oh ya...we got sperms on our bed...but they had sperms on their walls...haha...what a motel.

After breakfast and all we went to the darn supermarket again...but i felt even worse today as i had flu now...and mt head was in a spinning condition...so i didnt really play/perform much...so hour after hour passed...we were waiting for the time to hit 5:30 pm so that we could leave and come back to KL, but unfortunately the drivers said they wanna leave at 1am in the morning as they are tired...so we went back to the motel and i to my suprise i fell asleep and so did my friend....the next thing we know we woke up at 1 something and i tried calling the 2 fellows in their room but couldnt get them...so i thought they went out or something...and then i called their handphone and after a long ring they finally pick it up..and from his voice i could tell that he too just woke up.

Then we left that pathetic motel at 2:30 am...and man were we at relief.So almost throught my journey i slept in the car...and my friend couldnt really sleep as he isnt use to the bumps and all in the car...so he was mostly awake.We spot somewhere...which i dont even know where we stop to have some tea while the driver refresh themself at around 3 some which wasnt long after we left the hotel.I had some roti canai as my dinner/really early breakfast as i had nothing since lunch which was ramen in sushi king hehe..after that i slept in the car again...heheh...and when i woke up...yippie!!! i was back in KL...yea KL...my paradise...its always so nice to see all the tall buildings n smell the poluted air...and i get this feeling like ive been away for sooooo long...but it was only 3 days...which seems like hell.....hmm...not really..camping was worse.

I reach home around 7 something and i went to bed a while before i went to college...yes...i still had to go to college...cos if i dont my father would have excuses to blame all kinda stuff related to my yoyoing.But i overslept...so i only made it for 1 class...cos on mondays i have 4 hours of break after the 1st 1 hour class.And the other reason i got to go to college is becausse they had the Lipton talent search thing...and i being bug to participate.so and my friend just join for a last minute yoyo performance.which to my suprise was enjoyed by the crowd...for the 1st time something i didnt plan...well...all this while i dont plan..but...er...anyways..my performance was kinda good..hahaha not many mistakes...so i was pretty happy with it.

so basically that was what happen...phew...took me so long to type all that...anyways...i got to stop here...byez.
