Blackforest In A Cup
you know how on the days that you totally need lucidity and projection of voice, as well as clarity of mind, those are the days you get a cold for no good reason?! not funny man. i woke up this morning feeling like utter shit. which is bad. because i said so.
despite feeling like one big sore red nose, i dragged my flu-bitten butt out of bed at 10am to go to … a flea market!!! such motivation! :D :D i thought i could feel my flu going away at the prospect of all the potential fun at the Fairview International School’s flea market, but then when we got there and saw the totally pathetic state of the flea market, my flu came back full force.
fairview’s flea market
the ‘flea market’ had probably like 6 stalls. all selling really strange overpriced junk that no one would buy. plus it was eerily quiet, had no music, and .. no people. yeah. we spent all of 2 minutes there before heading off to another flea market - at Micasa Hotel this time.
now THAT was a flea market!!!
it was awesome - lots and lots of food and drinks and cakes and even a mini chocolate fountain! they had the usual flea market knick-knacks and second hand clothes as well, but man, all praise goes to the fooooood. we went crazy just buying all the different kinds of food being sold. yum :D
went to SS2 for dessert after that, at the weirdly named Hong Kong placed called SOD. wanted tong yuen but nooooo they had to be bitchy and decide not to serve us that. they also decided to ask us warily why we were taking pictures of the food. tiu. what is with people and this rule that says you cannot take photographs of food in their restaurants?!?! what, you think i’m going to plant a bomb in your french toast issit?
we ended up being a tad late for the play audition we had to attend. now you know why i need my voice and clarity of mind :( irritatingly, i was still sniffly come audition time, and didnt really get better even though i laughed like a maniac when Ivan scratched his car while making an illegal u-turn. hehehehhee. HEHEHEHE. the audition sucked though. went REALLY bad for both of us, and i highly doubt either of us will make the callbacks.
actually, what the hell was i doing, going for play auditions with ivan? the last time we did this, he got the part he tried out for and i didnt. HE FARKING DID AND I FARKING DIDNT. yes, i was very jealous then, and to a certain extent still quite bitter today. ivan, if you make the callbacks this time around, you can only accept it if i make the callbacks too, okay?!
anyway blahblablah, completed sucky audition, and upon doing that, met this guy who also came to audition, who on first sight, immediately reminded me of Suet’s boyfriend Barry. i was like wah, this guy is his twin! and then he had to introduce himself as GARY! barry = gary? such similar sounding names! but i just kept quiet and layaned him while he pestered us for information on the audition, like ’so what did they make you do? what did they make you say? anything extra besides reading the script? how did you interpret the characters?’ rarrrrrrrr. gave him all the information he wanted to know, exchanged phone numbers, told him we have to go like now cos we have another audition to attend, gave him the contact info for THAT audition as well cos we are so magnanimous like that, then we left.
in the car, ivan told me that Gary’s surname is Ooi. and i was like WAH REALLY AH! Suet’s bf surname is also Ooi! so maybe Barry and Gary are brothers and have another brother named Larry! to complicate things further, when we bumped into Gary at the 2nd audition (such destiny we have), he told us that he lives in USJ. so by that time i was SUPER SURE that he was Barry’s brother, but of course, it turns out to be just one big fat coincidence that they have similar first names, share the same surname, live in the same area and look like twins. yeah. all just one big fat coincidence.
ANYWAY I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, IVAN AND I WERE NOT CASTED FOR THE SECOND AUDITION BUT THIS GARY GUY WAS.
BLOODY HELL, HE CALLED ME TO GLOAT SOME MORE.
OMG.
TULAN!!! IVAN AND I CANNOT ACT ISSIT NOW?!?!?!?!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. here is a pic of me with Ivan’s car cos it’s very funny that he scratched his car, then got so worked up over a scratch that nobody can see.
we went to mid valley after that to go shopping for our respective daddies’ fathers day gifts. while there, we saw a totally awesome Ford Cruiser ad -
HAHA! pwned! Ford is 0wnage!
Ivan developed conjunctivitis after that (boy, not your day) and so i was left to wander alone for a bit before meeting Isa at Bangsar for dinner. we ate at Delicious, and it’s really funny to eat at a place with someone who used to work there cos he can tell you all the funniest shit about the establishment. like did you know that Delicious’ pastry chef is a woman named Rock?! and that the head chef is a man named Mimi?! like wtf? but nvm lah, cos their cakes are so good.
one of the quips on the uniforms of Delicious’ waiters
after dinner, we went to Fete De La Musique cos we had friends’ bands playing. i was really confused because i thought the event was going to be held on all of the Telawi streets, but it ended up just being on ONE. and it seemed like even that street was only a quarter full? what kind of street music party is this! very tak jadi. everyone was pissed and annoyed and not having a good time. the event coulda been executed better.
Isa and I ended up actually NOT seeing any of our friends play?! we escaped to Alexis for a tete-a-tete till midnight. i later met up with Azlan, and we headed to the new place in town, Ruums, cos Bass Agents were playing there tonight. it’s at Life Center, where Warp and Channel used to be, a.k.a the two most lala and jinjang clubs in town. so i’m just wondering how long it’ll take before Ruums succumbs to the stigma of having their club in Life Center. it looked okay tonight though. great music :)
now i am back home, with my flu also back full force. i am mega depressed because 1. colds are the most horrible thing on earth, and 2. i wanted to get ice cream earlier but i forgot all about it until it was too late and 3. i didnt pass the 2nd audition. WHY. WHY. WHY.
edit : i made the callbacks after all :)
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
