Frappucino Nights
October 29th, 2006
i’ve escaped to the ever-conducive, cakeandcoffee-stocked refuge of Starbucks to accomplish two things. one, study for upcoming econs test. two, prepare for a philosophy vs science debate that falls on the same day as my econs test.
well. it’s been over 8 hours of sitting here, and i’ve not finished either task. i shall blame this on my prioritising nonabilities - instead of reading blogs and replying emails and designing posters for deadlines further than my test and debate, i should be focusing entirely on said test and debate. and instead of trying to churn out the perfect case for said debate, i should study for said econs test first, because said debate is going to be one of those unintelligent pseudo-intellectual debates that i will, in retrospect, regret spending so much time fretting about.
siiiiigh. me needs another mug of hazelnut hot chocolate and a slice of rocky road.
wah wtf my bro just walked in and tapped me on the shoulder. argh how’d he find me!!! i told no one of my whereabouts!!! is my own brother stalking me??? is he here to buy the last slice of rocky road before i do???
… too late, bro. ALL MINE!
being in Starbucks never fails to yield amusement. last week there was this hip black dude who caught me not-so-discreetly eyeing the bling he was wearing. only a black guy can pull off bling without looking like a right fool! anyway he caught me not-so-discreetly eyeing his necklace, so i was all ‘ohmygod i love your bling, where did you get it?’! some more he totally layaned me when i asked for a picture!
takjadi pic. nvm, his eyes are not the point, the BLING is!
then there was this one time i was singing John Mayer’s Your Body’s A Wonderland a tad too loud. (it’s the damn earphones, they totally screw up your gauge of how loud you’re singing/talking) then suddenly this girl started singing along with me. and then a guy started taking pictures (or a video?? omg surely not) of me on his mobile phone. and the dude behind me tried to strike up a conversation by saying he liked John Mayer too, but i managed to brush him off by cleverly putting my earphones back on. heehee.
today, there are a lot of students around studying. no doubt prepping for their SPM exams which are just around the corner. ahhh brings back memories of my own SPM time. *nods sagely* back then my bum was practically married to the seats at Coffee Bean Ampang Point. and then come the weekend, I’d be pulling all-nighters at Mt Kiara’s Starbucks cos that’s when they open 24 hours. hehe the funniest Starbucks encounter there was this guy from the WWF who approached waimin and i to model for him, after requesting if we would kindly pick him up off the floor in the event that he passes out from caffeine OD. like, whateverrrr, man.
another Mt Kiara Starbucks moment : there was this one night i wrote Martian a poem, likening him to coffee. HAHA. back then we had this little fling thing going on. it’s so weird that we’re in a proper relationship now .. honestly back then i never thought we’d transcend the no-strings thing. one day i gotta blog about our story. how we met, how we got together. better yet, i’ll get him to blog his version too!!!
Starbucks moments aside.. right now i’m trying to tell myself that it is NOT socially apt to look over other Starbucks patrons’ shoulders to see what they’re doing. but i cant help it!!! i soooooo miss high school physics. and high school biology. and that’s what the girls at the table next to me are doing arghghhghg. they’re trying to figure out how to solve the elevator acceleration problem. OI ASK ME LAH i know how to do, i know how to do!!!
=(
one girl from that table has recieved a phone call, and i’m guessing from the way she’s moved away to another table, and from the way her two giggly lipglossed friends are crowding around her trying to listen in, it’s her boyfriend or crush that’s calling. so cute! i oso want.
ahh shitadilly it’s started to rain. coooooold. but a very good excuse for more hot chocolate. and cuddling.
hmmm. *looks around for hot stranger who would not say no to cuddling*

eh i know hw to do also!!! ask me laaaaaa~!!! eh i used to study at starbucks and AP’s coffee bean. tak jodoh la.. never seen you around. speaking of ear/ headphones, i was listening to Geek in the Pink, Saying Sorry, under the bridge, Fergie’s Finally and December on the train. oh oh and HSM’s Bop to the Top and We’re All in this Together O.O |||
I thought i was only lip- syncing but turned out that i sang it out albeit not really loud but clear enough to turn heads and invite weird stares. good lord, i nearly died of paiseh- ness. but when i alighted, this dude came to me and ask if i was listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ Under the Bridge and I was like “uhh, yes”
he was like,”can send to me via bluetooth? you have msn? don’t mind getting it from there!” one song turned into 6 songs and i earned myself a SC’s brownies with icecream :D :D :D eh sorry comments so long hehehe.
