| Stuck |
One thing I noticed different about my lifestyle here in Madison with that in Malaysia is my social life is way, way low beyond par here. Why? I have NO ideal friends, no proper transportation, money constraint, and have you seen the mall? It's nothing compared to Mid Valley, or KLCC or Pyramid or Bintang Walk. And now that Berjaya Times Square is open, I bet the mall rock the world. Money constraint makes life tougher since I barely have the chance to travel to some other states. But the loss I feel most is of course, my friends. I'm a Taurean, so I have no one to blame but myself for not having much interest in developing new bond or interest with the circle of people here. Though I established good relationship with most of them, I find it hard to feel 'attached' to them. Perhaps I've been used to having the 'other' kind of life I have with my friends back in Malaysia. Those comfortable feelings I have when we talk about our darkest secrets, those times when we just agree that we have so much in common, or we just like to hang out at the clubs or the coffee parlors or at someone's house, and those times when you can just jump to them once you get into trouble without having this heavy feeling of hesitation whether to tell or not. For goodness sake, I even have extremely good relationships with some of my friends' parents that I can almost talk about anything with them. Sincerely, I was really HAPPY during summer when I went back to Malaysia. I laugh more, I talk more, I bond more, I go out more, I love more. Things got back to null when I came back to Madison. True, there are some superb opportunities here that I get here that I don't get in Malaysia such as Tony Hawk Skate Tour, snow, Halloween parade, cute white guys, a string of excellent tv series and sitcoms and total freedom but it feels less valuable coz I don't get to share it with the people I want to be with. Well, what can I say, that's just the way it is. I'm really not enjoying my young life to its fullest.
Interesting new stuffs in Malaysia that I wish I can go or watch: Distortion gig, Rock The World 4, Berjaya Times Square, Cyberjaya TV, 8TV.
Occay. here are some reasons why I think my life in Malaysia is more sociable and more adventurous:
1. Pernah hampir-hampir kena bawak pegi balai polis bcoz of false suspicion of the TTDI park guard. Owh, pernah kena tahan (for real!) dengan KLCC guard. Why? Don't ask. Stoopid reason.
2. Nearly got a tix for speeding, which means I get to drive!
3. Went clubbing a number of times, never once kena bayar (shh....my parents aren't supposed to know this) but I kinda retired from this activity now
4. New year kat Orange & Bintang Walk, merdeka at Sunway and laterz dpt hang out with Hawa's cousin, one of the BBoyz dancers. Here, no frens to celebrate new year with coz everyone is sumwhere else or doing sumthing else meaningless
5. Been to a number of gigs, namely Ammo, TTC, Too Phat, Reefa, Ferhad, Juliet the Orange, Planet Hollywood's show, Formula One Street Party
6. Bole lepak at mamak stall or Sri Hartamas or Bangsar with my friends often at odd hours
7. Dapat pergi big events like Formula One (get to sit at starting podium for free!), Anugerah Industri Muzik, Music & Poems of The World (also for free!) so dapat tgk V.E, Nicholas Saputra, Dian Sastro, Ruth Sahanaya, Zainal Abidin, etc.
8. Mid Valley, KLCC, One Utama, Bintang Walk, Pyramid, TGV, Adidas Streetball, KESUMA, Dome, Coffee Bean, Swensen's and everyone's fave RotiBoy!
9. Meet new friends yang happen to be satu kepala since they're my frens' frens, so they gotta be cool enuff as well!
10. Convoy raya! And CNY open hse at Pial's so dpt angpau from Mummy (hehe) |
