ZOMBIE

....trying to catch the deluge in a papercup....

break

I figure this is going to be a long ride.

break

So, the start of my weekend involved an underwater swim and an overturned mock chopper. Either my eyesight is getting worse or the water is to blame because I couldn't see a thing. Unless it's pre-meditated and everyone plays the 'who does it quickest' everyday, I cannot imagine anybody being put in a real life emergency ditch to be able to remember what to do with the rebreather pack.

break

Push silver button (I discovered I'm one grip too small to use one hand)....put mouthpiece in....put nose clips on....release red knob....take one deep breath in....blow in air....breath normal (through your mouth like going scuba diving), do not hyperventilate (must remember not releasing the red button would do you no good and you'll fill your lungs with seawater)....

break

Hell....you'll be submerged faster than you can say EBS....

break

Back to office after lunch to attend a meeting. Packed my stuff (got homework to do during my KL weekend, what are the odds?). Then it was a rush to the airport to catch the 1900 hrs flight to KL (thanks for the ride, man). One nasi lemak later (I was dang starving) and I was off.

break

The landing was the smoothest one ever. No long delays. I'm impressed. The girls were waiting for me at the terminal. Without even making a stop at the house, where else to head to than our favourite hang out place.

break

Where some obscene activities took place that night.

break

....Gosh, who are you people? What have you done to my friends??!!!

break

I just crashed on my nice, cosy bed the moment I reached home.

break

Saturday. 0800 hrs.

break

Feeling groggy but ready to face the day! :) Warm shower woke me up a little.

break

After finishing some business with the management I took a cab to One Utama to shop and ended up only with a CD, a nailclipper, something for my vanity chest and a haircut. Had brunch along the way and I was sitting there indulging my 'pandan ais' and not so tasty 'soto ayam', when I noticed a lady coming towards me.

break

"Haven't seen you for so long. Where have you been??!!!"

break

Oh shit. Who the hell are you, lady? MUST THINK HARD (and continue smiling). I do hope you got the wrong person.

break

Work? Nope. I'm in big trouble. School? Doubt it. Come on, come on!

break

She was still standing there. "I always see you in class and then you suddenly disappeared!"

break

Ah yes! The gym! But lady, I still don't know your name and I hell don't remember your face (I know, my memory sucks). I invited her to sit with me, which she kindly obliged. We got to know each other and had a good chat (luckily we were never introduced to each other before this anyway, so I was a bit relieved). I really should thank her for remembering me although I never made it a point to get to know people from the same class. The least I could do was buy her her drink.

break

Which I did.

break

I miss the class alright.

break

And then there was Camp-5!

break

break

Oh yeah, I had an awesome time (now you know what the nailclippers are for). Especially Khairul, who really was so enthusiatic about rediscovering wall-climbing all over again. A big thank you to Master C-Foo who took the time to teach us a rope trick or two (Part 1, I presume) and have got to apologize that he didn't get to climb himself because of house rules. Next time maybe? :)

break

We scaled the walls until we puked.

break

After saying our goodbyes, headed home and rushed for another date, with food. Why I agreed to clubbing after that bewilders me still. I had only 3 hours of sleep before the big breakfast the next day. But I have to say, it was a great outing.

break

break

Two shots of coffee certainly didn't wake me up enough. The day finally came to and end and before leaving.....food again! Lunch at Bangsar Village before heading to LCCT in a crazy speeding Kancil. Almost didn't make it on time.

break

Fantabolous weekend indeed.

break

And I'm a happy walking zombie.
