Phatdil not welcomed!

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

   it was a gloomy rainy day, as usual,the bachelors society got bored and decided to go watch a movie.death note 2.so,the 3 members of the society,steve,james and dragon wanted to go to times square to buy the tickets.but then,steve decided to give a call to phatdil,and asked him to come along.phatdil said he was in lowyatt,and since it was nearby times square,steve told phatdil to get the tickets. phatdil was making a BIG deal about buying it,he said he doesnt know how to buy ticket,he doesnt where to buy them,nor who to talk to!! omg..such dumbness…but,anything that makes him happy.
  2 hours later,phatdil called,and he was SOO excited,he succesfully bought the tickets!when steve asked him what seat he bought,phatdil answered " i bought the first seat from the screen man! its damn near,its gonna be awesome,the screen will look DAMN big"

……………………
perhaps,phatdil just doesnt know that the first row from the screen wasnt good…its hard,when you dont know anyting about watching movies in cinema..sigh..it was fate,and since the ticket was bought,they had no choice but to go for the movie.
when it was time,james drove dragon and steve to times square.they parked inside times square,and they gave a call to phatdil,wondering where he was.phatdil was outside times square,and he had problems entering! it was past 10 pm,and phatdil was begging the security guard to let him thru the front door,since we were waiting just inside the front entrance. the security guard insisted that he cant enter from the front,but he has to enter from the side,which is a LONG walk:P no choice phatdil,off you go:D
  but,phatdil misfortunes didnt end there.after such a long walk,succesfully he was IN times square,he found this beautiful decorated seats for chinese new year.he was so tired,he decided to rest there for a while.within 2 minutes, a security guard was blowing a whistle and pointing towards him.it seems like those seats are for decorations,and not for them to sit down:P
well,phatdil was still tired! so he walked towards the seat in front of MNG.but,before he could even sit down,the same security guard came over and told him,"dont stay in this area.you have to wait in the same floor as the cinema.we will close down this section" well,seems like he cant sit here,so he moved towards the cinema!
once they were in 3rd floor,phatdil looked around for chairs to sit.he couldnt find any nearby the cinema,so he moved towards the centre court and sat on one of the benches. finally,a good rest for his legs.a sense of relief rushed through him.but it didnt last long.all of a sudden,another guard came to him and told him "you cant wait here,this section is closed,pls wait in front of the cinema"

AGAIN!! he lost count how many times he needed to move before he could find some place to seat!!! it was annoying! oh,dont worry about james,steve and dragon,they were strong,and they enjoyed standing and walking around:P phatdil,not so good at that.

well,he moved to in front of the cinema,looked around,and found a perfect place to sit! the chair looked comfortable,and there was a table too.it was placed perfectly in front of the large trailer screen and he could sit there and watch the screen.the table was surrounded by beautiful pots with plants planted.wow,its like god’s gift for the tired phatdil! he was soooo grateful,he went there and took his seat! he was totally enjoying himself,and was laughing at steve,dragon and james because they refused to join him!
3 minutes later,a hot chick wearing black and green came to phatdil.she said "im sorry sir,this place is for starbucks customers only" she was one of the starbucks worker.

AGAIN,he was kicked out over and over and he still cant find a place to sit! he was migrating for an HOUR,and still hasnt found a place to seat.but fortunately,he looked at his watch,and thank god,it was time to enter the cinema! finally,he will get to sit down in the cinema!
all of them entered the cinema,and phatdil sat down.he was so happy to get a seat and now he knows,no one can kick him out from here. then,he took a look at the screen,and he realized that maybe,sitting in the front row isnt so great after all.

phatdil went back home,after making both his legs AND neck suffer:P

James and Jane, Special Edition

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

Perhaps,it would be weird to write another chapter even after saying that i wouldnt write one.but somehow,i seriously feel like writing one last chapter,also due to popular demand (cheh) and i too have one last story to share.

   it happened MANY months ago,at midvalley megamall. james and jane were looking for a place to eat (they eat a lot,which explains why james gotten so fat lately!). Being a vegetarian,it was hard for them to look for a place to eat in Midvalley.yes,i know,they have a vegetarian stall in the food court,but it is boring to eat at the same place all the time! they couldnt decide where to go,so they went to take a look at the directory."lets go here,"jane said pointing at the word ‘annalakshmi’

   " what,hell no!" james said. "the place looks too grand and beautiful,it would cost a fortune to eat there,and i only have about 50 bucks with me now.lets go somewhere else"

  "but,we dont really know  how expensive it could be.lets just go and try.if it is more than 20 bucks per person,then we can leave the restaurant" jane replied back,still insisting to go there.

  now,james didnt quite like the idea of someone coming over,sitting you down,then passing you the menu and then,20 seconds later,we walk out of the door after taking a look at the menu.now that,would be DAMN embarassing.every step james took to reach the restaurant,he wondered what would happen.

  the restaurant had a big door at the entrance.and it was closed.as soon as they opened the door,every single eye turned and looked at them,as the door made a loud sound as it was opened.james looked around,only about 3 tables were occupied,and all of them were foreigners,white people! the place was decorated beautifully with nice paintings on the wall,expensive carpets on the floor,and beautiful seats with tablecloth, and they had the fork,spoon and knife nicely arranged on the table. great,the environment is so good,which is why there is more reason to think that they are gonna WALK OUT! and when they do,they are gonna open that STUPID loud door and everyone is gonna turn and look at then, again!

  a lady then came over,and took them to their seats.(it was like walking to a death row you know:P) then,she said " the buffet is over there,please enjoy"

………buffet….? is a buffet in this kinda place is gonna be less than 20 dollars per person? how much MUST they pay?

   when we asked if we can order ala carte, the lady replied that they only serve buffet. that freaked me out a lot! er..i mean that freaked james out a lot.you know what i mean:P

  james than looked at jane,with those pitiful kesian eyes.jane then asked the lady,how much would the buffet cost. the lady replied " oh,you just pay what you feel like paying"

  aik,for a moment, james was surprised? huh what:S? how is that possible? then,they learned that the restaurant belongs to a certain indian charity organization or something like that, so thats why they dont have a fixed price on their buffet.well,that was a big relief,at least they dont have to walk out of the place now:P

  while they ate their buffet, james realized something…." you know,if they had a fixed price,we could pay it and then leave.now…how much do you think we are SHOULD pay? i dont wanna pay 40 bucks,im cheap:P" (well,would you pay 20 bucks if they tell you pay how much you want?) "but we cant pay 5 bucks,would seem so teruk like that."

  …great….now there is a new problem….how much SHOULD they pay? for a moment,they thinked hard,but came up with no answer. so, james suggested jane that they should call the higher order,the all wise and powerful and a person full of knowledge.the Mother. (not my mother you fool,jane’s mother!my mother wise? she thought new york was in australia! so dumb,i had to tell her all the time that it was in canada) the Mother answered the phone,and guess what she suggested? "why not you ask the waitress how much should you pay!?" (i thought that was weird,no way,imagine asking the waitress that,so memalukan) then,the Mother said just pay according to how much you eat,dont think about the place too much.

so,they decided to pay how much we eat.problem solved.the great Mother helped us a lot then. well,it was good,since they get to eat,and also what they pay is a form of donation.jane had 3 idli and a mango lassi,james was on diet so he only drank water (james is fat).so,they decided to pay 10 dollars.problem solved.WONDERFUL:D

  3 minutes later,something else striked james. it was a form of donation.they wanted to pay 10 bucks.but,james only had 50 bucks with him.how is he suppose to donate 10 bucks? he cant go and tell the waitress,"can you open up the tabung? i wanna take 40 bucks back:P"

great…a new problem….HOW are they gonna pay?

  it seems to james,than this place gives more headache than it gives good food.james then went out to buy something small and cheap,so he can get change to pay for the food.he walked around midvalley,and he can only see things he doesnt need and they arent cheap.in the end,he bought a box of a dozen of pen from MPH.

james went back to the restaurant,then,they ‘donated’ the money,and left.it was probably the most tiring dinner they ever had.but jane said the food was exceptionally good tho:) then,as they were walking out,jane asked "why all this things happen around me ar? my curiousity is too much sometimes,isnt it"

:P LOL well,thats one dinner down.and it wasnt an easy dinner,not at all:P

well,that was the last entry,i hope so.i cant think of anymore things that happened before,nor will there be anymore new things that will happen.
currently,james and jane have both separated and live their own lives.all the fun times will remain as a memory to be remembered.
