Supposedly Puuuuurfect Saturday Morning
Another 29 minutes!! Hurrah!! My eyes are soooo tired. I guess too much e-learning isn’t good for the eyes. Hmmm, guess what, I didn’t sneak out to the mall today AT ALL *pat on Ade’s back* I’ve been just sitting obediently here and do the e-learning. I must say I have progressed well…
I have been meaning to write about my experience in Putrajaya. It wasn’t bad at all. In fact, I kinda spent the entire Saturday morning there. You see, they were having ermm, I think boat racing or something among the MNC’s. Jo asked me to go along and basically just show some support. She said Christina was gonna go too. Hmm, frankly, am not a big fan of this sorta event. Especially I had to wake up early on Saturday morning and risk the chances of getting tanned. Sun and I don’t really see eye to eye, if you know what I mean. I am what you call the Puteri Lilin.
Oh well, I did manage to wake up. The whole purpose of going there perhaps was to meet up with some ex-colleagues that I have been missing dearly. Jo and Christina came picking me up around… was it 8.30 am?? Anyway, that turned out to be a fun road trip to Putrajaya. We wind down the windows and let the fresh morning air blow gently on our faces. I wish Jo were driving a convertible and playing some funky music… I could then stand up at the back seat and do a little dance number or maybe waving scarf or tossing hair just like those lead actresses in
Hollywood films, couldn’t I? Oh well, those were just some thoughts, ok…
Jo was so fascinated by the lamp posts along the road that we ended up taking lotsa photos of that. I guess the cars passed by must be thinking that we were some Japanese tourists or something. Even so, I must say I like the scenery there and don’t mind to look like a silly billy tourist. In fact, Putrajaya is a lot cooler than I thought. Little cute well trimmed trees along the pen straight roads, clear blue sky, artistic lamp posts, chirping birdies and of course 3 cool girls.
It was about 9-ish when we reached our destination. Gosh, the place is such a beauty… Was it just me or what?? I totally didn’t expect to see a resort, no no, to be correct, a lake resort there!! I must have spent a few minutes wow-ing and oo-ahh-ing. I know I know, sounds like katak di bawah tempurung but who cares. Again, another frenzy rounds of photo takings. I was in total awe when I saw the lake!! To be quite frank with you, I’d never seen a lake with my owe eyes until last Saturday.
We were looking everywhere for those who took part in the MSC Water Games. The lake is so huge and we actually ended up at the wrong side of the lake. Anyway, no complains having to walk a big round to get to the venue. It’s good to take a long stroll early in the morning. When we finally got to the right side of the lake, the competition was already underway. I saw dragon boats and kayaks. Spotted a few muscular Caucasian guys occasionally walking around in their so called crossbreed-between- wetsuit-and-swimming-trunk looking ermm, swimsuit?? No cuties in sight. Sigh… Such a shame…
Oh yea, I must mention about the constant noise produced by the idiotic emcee. Geez, he’s such a pest. So annoying!! A beautiful Saturday morning by the lake side was completely ruined by stupid noises coming out from his mouth! His remarks were totally retarded and he had the nerves to keep making ‘em. He’s really a pain in the @**. I’m sorry to swear but I can’t help it!! “In case anyone of you thinks that I am an American, I am not.” Goodness me! Can you believe that?! He didn’t sound one bit like an American. More like a Macha to me! I felt like throwing shoes right at his face and asked him to shut the h*** up. We were there for the tranquility, and no one bargain for pieces of s*** from him. Now I need some jasmine tea to calm my nerves. It’s obvious that he got on my nerves.
That was not the end. My skin crawled when this pathetic American-wannabe decided to crack some ‘oh-so-funny’ jokes by making some not-so-smart remarks when he spotted Jo, Christ and I walking towards the water tank, near where he was. “Lenglui, lenglui… Yea you, the one in green skirt… blah blah blah” Frankly, I couldn’t be bothered to listen any further. It’s a shame there were so many mat-sallehs’ around. A complete disgrace! By the way, since when American started using the word LENGLUI?? He was worried that people might have mistaken him as an American? How funny.
I turned around to check on his victims. Just before I manage to turn around, realized he was actually talking about me!! Idiot! Embarrassed, decided to walk behind Christ and Jo. “Hey you, I am talking about you and don’t hide laaa…” I decided to take a proper look at this frog. Little did I know, he poured in more comments and we never heard the end of it. “The weather is hot, drink more water and if it’s not enough, you can go get the water from the lake… hahahaha…” My good gracious, is this guy retarded????????
Very quickly, we paced ourselves and escaped. Even from a distance, his voice was still haunting us like a thousand years old ghost. I guess we reached the boiling point and couldn’t take in more of his stupidity, decided to go Dengkil for lunch instead of waiting for the free lunch prepared for us.
I thought I needed some retail therapy. This moron had completely ruined my wonderful Saturday morning. I don’t have to tell you where I went next, huh? *wink*
