08.08.08

A great feature article requires 4 basic elements- quotes, anecdotes, facts and statement of theme(s).

I was about to blog a great feature article with all the elements above but halfway through, I got lazy! Haha! So, here goes nothing…

On 08.08.08, it was a significant day for many people!

Some turned a year older, some got married, babies were born and it was the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics! How can I miss that out?

China did such a fantastic job! It was spectacular! Bonkers! Ta-daaa! Amazing! Oh-so-wonderful! My favourite part of the entire Opening was the lighting of the Olympic torch! For a 45-year-old ex-gymnast, that man can really run! But, what an honor!

So, that panda rumor was a bullshit after all! Heh.

Anyway, on 08.08.08, I was ‘kidnapped’.

Here’s how the story goes.

Like a True Hartamasian, Yii Ping ffk-ed me and decided to fall back asleep at 1p.m instead of window-shopping with me in Bangsar Telawi. Since I had to go back by can cause my mom was suppose to be in Seremban, I decided to hang out in Josh’s place cause it’s really boring being home alone!

Surprise, surprise, when I arrived in Bangsar LRT at 12.30ish, Mom called and told me she’s still in KL and her plans were cancelled. Here’s how our phone conversation went:

Mom: Where are you?
Simmy: Bangsar LRT.
Mom: I can pick you up now. Where are you?
Simmy: Oh, good. Bangsar LRT.
Mom: Oh wait, I have something to do. Where are you?
Simmy: Bangsar LRT!!
Mom: Ok, what time will you arrive here? I can pick you up now.
Simmy: -_- … bangsar LRT, I’m here now, you can pick me up NOW.
Mom: Oh, wait, I’ll pick you up in an hour.
Simmy: -_- … You want me to wait in LRT for one hour ah? Okok, can you pick me up from Joshua’s place instead?
Mom: Ok, I’ll call you.
Simmy: Thanks.

So I hopped into a cab and went to Josh’s place… only to watch him play WOW.

=_=

It was about 1ish then. About 2o’clock, I got tired watching him play WOW and while waiting for my mom’s call, I fell asleep.

Few hundred seconds later…

I woke up at 4p.m, checked my phone and still no messages or calls from my mom.

:-O

I left my phone in his room on SILENT mode and went back to the study room to look for Josh. He was still playing WOW.

T_T

15 minutes later, I decided to get myself a glass of water.
On the way back, I decided to check my phone again.

O_O

8 missed calls and 2 messages from Mom.

Was about to message my mom when another message came in from Clarissa Tan.
‘Hey wassup? Sorry didn’t hear my phone ringing, I was downstairs, left my phone upstairs, anything?’

O_O

I don’t remember calling her or messaging her that entire day.

So I promptly replied: Huh? Since when I called you?
Clarissa: You did, you used your house phone.

Just then, dearest Mom called, I picked up and…

She exploded into a series of events all in one sentence, “Where are you I tried calling you but you didn’t pick up the phone I thought you were kidnapped and I called all your friends to ask them blabla bla blabla…”

Simmy: O.o? Huh? I’m in Josh’s place la…..

Long story cut short, Mom fetched me and we arrived home safely.

On the way, Eunice called me and asked me “Wei Sim, you ok? You mom called me just now. I thought to myself, this time, Poh Sim is in deep shit.”

HA-HA!

Apparently Mom called Yii Ping as well.

-_-

But Yii Ping heard my mom asking her for “Joshad’s” no instead of Joshua.
And Yii Ping called Eunice and asked Eunice whose “Joshad”.

And Eunice thought maybe it’s her Malay/Indian friend whose name is quite close to Joshad. Like Arshad, Oshad, Ershad or whatever.

-_-!!

And that, is the end of the story. :-p

Sigh, tired. 3 assignments! - 1 down, 2 to go.
More updates on Friday!

Kbye.

Poh Sim, Ng.
