illusion of safety

A lot has happened in the past one week. Most, directly or indirectly, would definitely affect me (some would even affect you too). Here’s a little chronology of what the hell happened:

It started with a.. uh… rather disasterous holiday in Langkawi. While it ended up alright, I believe we all think it could be better. But that was over, so I tried to do the next best thing, to calm things down and win a certain person back. But that didn’t work out either lol… so there was the break up. Anyways, then I’ve decided to start working on my music again. You see, I’ve been writing songs for some years, but none is ever recorded (except from the 5 songs demo of Mentol), so I decided to give it a whirl with Reason (it’s a MIDI-like composer but with real recorded sound) and Garageband of a song I made almost a year ago. And it worked out pretty well, I should try to upload it and let you poor people listen to my squeeky vocals hahahahah (of course, after I balance some shit up and get things to be actually listenable!).

Noelle had his family over for a night, and he has such a cool dad, he invited us all for a dinner. Hahah kick ass! SOME PEOPLE WANTED THE STEAK *nudge nudge TUR! nudge* hahaha just kidding man. But we were pretty well fed overall, and I remembered one funny thing when Noelle’s sis thought Malaysia was some cheap ass ghetto village, and she felt sorry for Noelle to study here. Turns out this place isn’t so bad at all.

Uh.. yeah…

Later that night, soem of us (Mac, Noelle, Arthur, and yours truly) went to Coolers and played some billiard, which happened to be one funny shit. Mac started off by boasting he’d kick our collective asses. But HAHAHAH that humongous bugger always lost EXCEPT WHEN HE WAS PAIRED WITH ME! Hahahaah!!! I’m not saying I’m good, but winning 3 out of 3 is…

And then my good friend Al invented the STAGES OF RELATIONSHIP EXPLAINED BY FINGERS hahahahahah!! Seriously, it’s one of the funniest inventions ever, and Noelle and I improved it to perfection LOLXORZ! I’m trying to make a GIF or Flash animation out of it, cus it fucking rules! Stay tuned!

A bunch of us were also thinking what would happen to us after college friendshipwise. Are we gonna drift appart? Are we gonna stay the same? I don’t know, but I remember of the Berkley Mafia in Indonesia, where a bunch a Berkley University educated mofos got together and started business plans and monoplize everything they could get their hands on. Well we’re not exactly thinking of monopoly, cus we all agree it’s not right, but we decided to start some business, nevertheless. A lot of thought was put into it, then we settled on a business that requires little money to set up (50 cent) but some fucking big GUTS and FACE to perform: PORTABLE TOILET. Yes, the crew will be a portable toilet machine by holding a plastic bag under the ass of anyone who wanna take a dump. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Hahahahha!!!! We’re currently looking for employees, so if you’re out of job and wanna be in a very rewarding company, call us! We give you 20 cents for every performance HAHAHAHAHAH1!!!!! Hahahahahahahahah!!!!!! Yes that was very graphic hahahaha!!!!

I’ve restarted my morning jogging too. Shit I’m damn outta shape right now.

Then we (FINALLY) had our bboy practice again after a long ass hiatus. It was mad nice, and to top it off we had an argument with the authority! (a small figured female who was alone against me and Noelle, we were brave!) But we kept on practicing until we almost break our bones.

What I have figured out is that how I missed hanging out with my buddies. We did a lot more than that, and it’s been awesome and thoroughly hillarious! Granted, I’m still bummed by the fact that I’m not with the person that I loved anymore. But there’s life. There’s discovery, and rediscovery. I’m finding things out, as I go along, and I really thank everybody for that.

Yesterday, I had my Friday prayer and read the Quran. And there I found a really, really meaningful and really touching verse that I thought I should share with you:

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in God and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing. – Al Baqarah 177

It basically interprets as it is not righteousness by just praying, giving charity, or doing all the other rituals just because they’re rituals and mean nothing more than a series of movements. But rather, you’ve gotta have the compassion, the need, the want, and the actual heart to actually do what you do. That is one unbelievable passage right there… And it really reminded me what I think I’ve kinda lost for some time now. I admit, I haven’t exactly been the best person there is. But I’ll always struggle. Aaaaalways!

And here’s a news that would affect you all:
Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST.
So by the time you read this, he might be dead already. He’s a messed up mad man, but I don’t believe in capital punishment. What does it mean to you? Rising oil price and more sectarian violence in Iraq which creates regional and (eventually) worldwide instability. It also affects America’s image in the world, and it could also create little Saddams everywhere poised to continue his legacy. So yeah, I’ll write more about this. Stay tuned for part 2!

And Eid al-Adha mubarrak!

Papers, papers, papers… a pile of surface for me to write on. I can graf, draw, and tear, but i decide to write. There is a billion possibilities of what could be poured there, and I’m treading on each of them one by one. It’s not just an imagination, but also my determination and dedication for I can’t wait to take the next paper and write more stuff on it. Make it pretty, write it in different colors. Shape it like a star, like a honeycomb. I can take the white A4, or a 4 x 6 photo paper. I try to print pictures. I try to write. I don’t care if I’ve spent a lot, to me they’re still not enough. I wanna make a big pile of happiness, feelings, and emotions. I wanna create something, and make more of it. Let them fly and slide all over the place. And when I’m finally tired of making you happy, I want you to know that you’re still worth more than that.

And there’s no regret, for I have tried.

The past week, I’ve made 2 REAL FUN AND CRAZY self-discovery trips to KL with (1) Nobi and Alex; and (2) Noel and Arya. The reason behind the trip is to spend some quality non gay brotherhood time with them cus they’ll be leaving this place and I’m only gonna see em next year (if ever!).

The first session was with Nobi and Alex, this was on Thursday Dec 14, 2006. We had nothing planned, but we decided to go anyways. After waiting for the little fucker to wake up (Nobi), we left Cyberjaya right away to KL by bus. Arrived in KL Sentral and greeted by the nice folks from The Chickan Rice Shop. Then we took the monorail to Time Square, and stopped at BORDERS FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT. Three things happened simultaneously: (1) Nobi ended up digesting all the info his brain could chew on music from books; (2) I fell asleep on the couch; and (3) Alex played with himself. I didn’t know, because I was asleep. But we ended up cracking jokes in there. After awhile, we decided to take a look around the place, see if there are things worth to be laughed at.

Then we got hungry, so we went to BAOZ and ordered some paus (it’s bread with things inside, like bbq chicken and/or bread). We took the food outside and ate like real men aka all rugged, without proper sanitary equipment, on the stair, while watching traffic jam. And we also told jokes to each other, they were random business, such as:

1. How to pick one’s nose properly?

After we were done devouring the paus (ironically, paus means whale in Indonesian), Nobi came up with a suggestion of going to Pertama Complex. I’ve never been there before, but I’ve always heard good things about the place as it holds a metal store. And Alex suggested the Chowkit. Why the fuck Chowkit, we still don’t know up to this day, but it has something to do with the fact that it’s probably the most messed up place in KL and we thought we’d like to find out.

So we went to Pertama Complex, to the metal store. And man, WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS PLACE WHEN I ARRIVED TO THIS COUNTRY!?!??!?! It has good selection of CDs, band shirts, posters, and all that crap. To top it off, the guys who work there KNOW music so much, Kerrang mag should close down and give their shit to these guys. They were really nice and receptive too. Initally, we went to KL just to make fun of strangers, but as soon as we set our feet in that metal store (I don’t remember the exact name of the store), 2 of us (not me) decided it’d be cool to buy shit. WTF! I tried to not spend any money, but they’ve got a Thrice t shirt! SHIT! So yeah, I spent 30 bucks on it, while Alex got himself a black hoodie that I knew Noel would drool at and Nobi got some CDs.

By the time we were done, it was 9:00 PM already, so we went back. It was one fun day, I realized mainly because we didn’t need any materialistic things to keep us entertained, but it’s the friendship and the craziness that could keep us alive. I’m gonna stop now before going all preachy (because that’s a job of Bill O’ Reilly ha ha).

There was a picture taken of Nobi in his glorious pose. But due to the safety (of me), I decide to not post it up.

AAAND THEEEEEEEEEN there was the second session which is yesterday. This time the guilty party is yours truly, Noel, and Arya. Same thing like before, we went to KL Time Square for no reason. And same thing like before, we went by bus. To top it off, THE FIRST STOP WAS FREAKING BORDERS!!! Shit what’s with me and that cozy place?!? But we didn’t eat at the Chicken Rice Shop, we ate at Ayamas, which is their bitter rival. I created tension between two chicken rice restaurant. I rule.

We then stopped by Borders, and took some time to read stuff. Noel was looking for The Game by Neil Strauss after heavy recommendation from me. By recommendation I mean brainwash. So we checked out the machine that tells which is where. Turns out the book was in the.. uhmm… Sex section?!? WTF? And we looked around the 2 stories bookstore to no avail, and it’d be gay for 2 guys to ask the helper there and ask where the Sex section is.

But after searching high and low, we used some brain and found the book, and it was under Gender Studies. Well what do you know, turns out THERE WASN’T SEX SECTION. Good.

So Noel went on to read it, and apparently he liked the book because of its entertainment value, and I told him he’d save money by borrowing it from me. He took the advice. Problem is, the book is with Saynt (hehehe), so he’ll have to ask him.

Other than that, we bought the coolest (or dumbest, depending on which political party you belong to) book this year: The Alphabet of Manliness by none other than the man behind the gimmick Maddox. I’m getting tired of typing and I need to go to the front to get my laundry, so you might as well look it up on Amazon.com if the title intrigues you.

Then we ate at Johnny’s, and here’s where some hilarity ensued (and how I came up with the title of this post). We ordered the set, and it came with the main meal, ice cream, tom yam soup, and thai tea. So we ate our stuff, and at the end, we decided to mix things up and stir them. Hahahahahahha and by now you should know what’d happen: we decided we’d take turn to take a scoop out of it and gulp them HAHAHAH. But NOOOOO ARYA DECIDED TO EAT THEM ALL HIMSELF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!! I’m still laughing everytime I remember it. HAHAHAHAH!!!! So we put up a second round, all that we had in the first round plus some MASHED RICE, LEMON, MINT, and HAIR! Hahahhaha!! WTF?!? Yes, a freaking strand of HAIR! HAHAHAHAHA but we decided to play it safe and took the hair out, and THE GUY STILL TOOK IT! That’s amazing I must say. A defending champion of anything-eater. A must have at every party. ARYA!

Then we looked around the mall for stuff that’s worth buying (or stealing, but we don’t steal). We found some good stuff, but unfortunately they’re either (a) expensive; or (b) made from cheap ass material. I was looking for a hat too, but didn’t find any good one. So guess what we ended up buying?

SOCKS

How’s that for a whole day out? But it’s understandable, if you know how Noel is with his sneakers and how my history is with socks.

After that, we went to eat at BAOZ (I’m starting to see some pattern here), where we discussed about how in the fucking world are gonna be able to pay for our electrity bills. But we figured out the solution, so it’s all good now (I hope). We then rushed back to KL Sentral, and decided to take the train, cus the bus would only go at midnight. But also had to wait for another 30 mins for the train to arrive. So yeah, we decided to take the time to talk about meaningless shit and questions such as:

1. Would you do it with a post-op “girl”?

And the rest is history.

And I’m going to Langkawi tonight! Horay!

a closure to everything here.

and i want to sing along to that too

The tree branch that we stand on
to watch the parade in the burning city
is going to break soon
but let me jump now and land early
so I could catch you when you need me

I caught cold, I’m tired like hell both mentally and physically. The exhaustion is killing me, and it’s nothing beneficial in the long run. I don’t feel alive anymore.

I’m fucking lost.

My brain is aching and cry for a rest, so I’m gonna slow down.
I’m taking a break from all this.

What we’ll do together

Shit I don’t even know where to begin… but the last 2 days have been AMAZING! Amazing is an understatement, seriously. Prepare yourself for a massive post. And you better read it all, cus I fuckin spent a good hour on this. Seriously.

Day 1 / Nov 30 / Thu / Part 1

I wasn’t even sure if we’re gonna pull it off, but I knew we had to. What is it, you may ask. Well Alda and I have been planning to check out Sunway Lagoon theme and water park for such a long time… 3 years! Well we didn’t exactly _wait_ that long, it was more like postponement due to our busy nature and last minute annoyances. Anyways, so yea, we figured we might just have to do it (since if I graduate, I might not be able to see her again and she’s leaving on Friday). So yes, we decided to go.

The plan was for me and Helen to visit Munchin’s place to see his newborn (CONGRATS MAAAAN!!!!) and wish him and Elly (his woman) lots and lots of good luck for the future, and leave to Sunway with Alda. But we couldn’t do that cus (1) my woman couldn’t get outta her office, and I wanted to go with her, but I thought I’d still see Munchin anyways, but (2) Alda and I had to go to the college before we could go because she had to deal with her passport, and as the result we were a bit rushing, so yeah we couldn’t make it to Munchin’s place :\

ANYWAYS, that was the pre-crazy day. After Alda got her passport, we went to the ERL and took the bus to Kelana Jaya, and from there took the cab to Sunway Pyramid to have lunch aka KFC. Apparently we ate too much hhahaha or I ate too much, cus I felt so full and we had to walk to Sunway Lagoon. And we found out that the entrance is being reworked, so we had to go through the temporary way, under the still-in-construction new Sunway Pyramid. Along the way, I felt to be an asshole and devirginized a clean wall with a red circled A.

We finally reached Sunway Lagoon and it was 4:00 PM already, which means we’d only have about 2 hours of playtime. We decided we’d spend an hour at the theme park and another hour at the water park, and for that it costed each of us 40 ringgit each. No biggie, we paid and we entered. And to my (little) disappointment, there wasn’t many attaction. So just went to the boat swing that WENT TO FUCKING FULL ROTATION SEVERAL TIMES before it slowed down and let me implode a little in my stomach.

see that blue thingies in the back? yea we were in that.

Our stomach couldn’t handle the shake (mine was after a Zinger burger, salad, cheesy wedges, and a full meal 3 hours prior to that), so we decided to screw the rest of the rides and went to the ferris wheel. The ride lasted for 2 laps, and that’s it. Wtf. Then we wanted to go for water-based thrill ride, but decided not to cus I was wearing jeans and I didn’t bring any extra clothes.

So then we went to the water park. And let me tell you, if you’ve never been there, YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE THE PLACE WAS FUN!!!!!!! We did the slides, the rivers, and the beach (turned out we went for the little kid’s beach ahahahahah damn….). We thought we checked it all out, but when we were leaving the place and overlooked the whole park, there were so many areas that we didn’t check out yet.

that’s the shit yo.

The slide was fun! The thrill one (the one without the curves and the turns) was pretty exhilirating until a bump hit our collective asses and hurt them for the rest of the day. After the slide we pretty much just spent the rest of the day playing in the water and crack up jokes.

A lesson learned, though: if any of you going there and planned on to take pics, make sure you have someone (i.e. your mom, your kid, or your dog) to be a spotter for your cameras/bag/any other valuables cus it was a bitch carrying them around and left them unguarded on a bench.

After Sunway Lagoon was done, we couldn’t believe it was already over since we’ve been waiting for this for a long time! But it really paid off, because we had so much fun
Then we went into the Pyramid and checked out stuff for awhile, and took the KTM and left to KL Central to meet up with Helen.

Day 1.5/ Nov 30ish / Thufri / Part 2

We met up with Helen at 9:20 PM, and Alda left to Bangsar to meet up with her sister and her friends. The plan was for us all to meet up at Zouk cus DJ PREEEEEMO WAS GONNA PLAY TONIGHT! woohoo! And I went to KLCC with Helen, we went to the park and sat by the pool. And we talked about a lot of good things, and as usual, good things make us forget about time, and before we knew it it was already close to 11. It was really too bad she couldn’t go to Zouk with us, cus she wasn’t feeling too well :\ and she planned on waking up early tomorrow cus she had some plan. So I took her to the LRT, and she went back.

AND THEEEEEEN I went to Zouk after more than a year of not going to a club (I’ve never been into this whole shit, but tonight Preemo was playing!!!), and called Noel and found out that he was there already. So first I ran to Hotel Maya which was just across the club (a freaking nice boutique hotel, I went there to pee hehehehe), and met up with the guys. There was Noel, Mac, and this dude wearing red (I forgot the name, aargh). I was introduced to him, and turned out he’s an MMU student and lives in Cyberia. So yea, we waited a little longer until the women come. I also met Hassan and his bestfriend (I forgot his name). And at 11:30 PM, Alda, Tamara (Alda’s sister), and uhm… Nanda (?), and one more woman (I think there was another one with them) came and they entered the place. And us, being guys, of course had to go through all those shit and discrimination of ID check. But we got in nevertheless, and met up with them inside.

We then hung out for awhile, had some nice drinks, and after like half an hour, I met up with NOBI! Ahahahahah it was fucking great! He was there with Hendra and Zarni (? I’m bad with names!). Then we met with 2 other Indo chicks, Nadia and…. OKAY OKAY I’M BAD WITH NAMES! And we hung out for a little while, and I think they were all dancing except for Nobi (who faithfully guarded uncle Jack), Alda, and I. And my phone rang again, and guess who it was? KIIIIIM AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I never, EVER thought I’d see the guy in a club. Amazing. He was with his lovely chick Meta and her sister. But he had trouble going in because he is an illegal immigrant and didn’t have any ID… lol jk, well he didn’t bring an ID, but he could go in anyways (I just found out today from him that he went in through a guestlist… ooooh… sneaky!). Then we were all inside, and I met kim near “the glowing green ball with spikes near the staircase” (that was his txt to me hahahahah bitch I remember it!).

After the house DJs stopped playing, at 1:00 AM (Dec 1, Friday), Preemo got on the booth and started spinning. MAN it was great. And I started to feel it… I started feeling the itchy. The blood boiled. I was sweating profusely. I couldn’t help it, I NEEDED BABY POWDER! (inside joke, don’t worry). It was not for awhile until Noel and I could clear up some space for us to get down and get busy. Hahahahah it was great, I could finally do something in a cypher other than standing (some black dude actually came up to me and told me I was old skool HAHAHAH! Crazy!). But yeah, we couldn’t find any big circle for any downrocking. And there I realized… MAN Noel can be wild on the dancefloor, I meant lol. And Mac looked like he was hitting on a chick that came with us hahahahha It was cool. I ended up spending the time there hanging out with Alda, Nobi, and warming up on the floor hahahahah.

At like 2:15 AM, Alda and Nobi asked if I wanted to go to the elektro room, The Loft. So yea I thought what the hell. So we went in there, and yea the music was niiiice. But the problem was that I was already hyped up on hip hop, and it was like a completely different beat and riffs (imagine eating spicy magee mee then eat blueberry icecream suddenly, that’s how it felt like). So I politely told them I’d go back to the main room, and they stayed for a little longer.

And I was in the main room, and reemo played some old school stuff MAAAAN IT WAS WONDERFUL! Then I looked for Noel, but uh…. LOL I was already strecthed and I couldn’t wait to let it all out. So I saw some guys had a little circle opened, so I thought what the hell I helped them opened it up bigger, and let them dance inside one by one. AND IT WAS FINALLY MY TURN (Ok this might not be a big deal to many of you, but it was for me. I didn’t learn CCs, handstands, freezes, and all those shit for nothing!) and I got down, let lose, and man… I felt like I was in a completely different world. When I was done, the guy who went in before me went back in again and did his thing. So I thought “Damn, here we go!” after he was done, I went back in and started doing all the pretty cock gestures and the firing gestures (which I bit from Noel lol) hahahah it was fun. And we ended it with a fun vibe. But I still couldn’t do any downrock cus it wasn’t big enough still. So fuck it, I kept on pushing people back and enlarging the circle, and once I found it big enough, I went in and started going down. Ooooh aaaaah it was so much fun! But my arms were already tired, so fuck I coudln’t do much anywyas :\ damnit!

And yea, all the bboying pretty much happened in the last 30 mins of Preemo playing. At 3:00 PM, he stopped playing and started tagging on people’s t shirt.

some lucky mofos got their t shirt signed.

Things started to die down and we went outside and hung out for awhile, got things sorted out with the transportation. Everyone else went back their own, and left with me were Alda, Noel, Mac, Hassan, and his bestfriend.

yours truly, alda, tamara, noel, mac

Then we went back by Mac’s car. Stopped by at some mamak stall to eat, aaaaand arrived at Cyberia at 5:30 in the morning. Then I went to Alda’s place and helped her pack her stuff cus she was gonna leave in 4 hours (well, help was an embellishment, more like sitting in front of her imac and checked email hahahaha). An hour later, my eyelids decided to start to close, so I hugged Alda goodbye and I went back home, and sleep.

Zzzzzzzz…. *snore*

*no I don’t snore

Day 2 / Dec 1 / Fri / Part 3

I woke up at 10:00ish AM to the sight of Helen entering my room to wake me up (awwwwwwww is not a real human emotion). And we hung around and stuff, and she went out to swim. And I was still sleepy so I slept a little longer and woke up an hour later. Then since it was Friday, I went for Friday prayer. Prayed to God so I could pass everything and let me continue with my journey and Australia.

15 ringgit - in da erl.

At 3:00 PM. I went with Helen to the city (we live in a village lol) and, being a wonderful girlfriend that she is, it was all on her. How better could it get? So she said she had a couple of surprises waiting for me, and yes they were So we went to KL by train (it felt like it’s been awhile, cus nowadays I’ve always gone there by the bus) and went to Low Yatt immediately, where one of us (not me) bought a new Nokia cellphone then I looked for some DVDs and stuff, and she got me the first surprise: a professional feet and body massage. HELL YEAH! Oh my god… how the hell does she know!? I mean, after last night, the best thing after that was a good sleep (which I had) and a massage! Damn! So yeah, apparently I was paired with a guy and he was good AND PROFESIONAL (okay kids let’s not get any ideas), and it was freaking good losening your joints and muscles. It was so good I almost fell asleep several times!

My knees were wobbly after that and I could barely do anything but lay on the lazy chair hahahah. But yeah, I was in for the second surprise, and it was in KLCC. So yea, we decided to WALK there under the rain. It was cool, though, cus we had fun along the way cracking up jokes heheheheh.

THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE BACKGROUND!!

So we reached KLCC and we went to get some stuff first. She got her girly stuff, and I got my SEAWEEEEEEED for cheap! YES! NEW SOURCE OF HAPPINESS! And we also got some present for Munchin’s baby. After that I went to Kinokuniya to order a book for Alda’s friend, and got myself a book too.

After all that, she finally got me the second surprise: Chili’s. Oh man, she knew we were hungry hahahah, so we got in, ordered the steaks right away. Oh my god… it was damn good. I had the eyerib with mushroom sauce (seriously, don’t compare this with jon’s lambchop). It was DAMN good! I ate it so fast like there is no tomorrow. And I also helped Helen with hers too hahahahah. Then we ordered the brownies. OH MAN! OH MAN! I never liked chocolate that much… NOT THIS CHOCOLATE! Shit it was fucking good. Helen’s tummy was loaded, so I ended eating like more than half of it. And to my utter disbelief, I was still not completely full. But I decided to go with sanity on this one, so I stopped ordering.

With good stomach, what better way to let the food turn into muscle and fat than by sitting around and be lazy? So we went to the KLCC park and sat around for like 20 minutes. And I saw someone (not me) liked sock and water. And we decided to go back early cus we wanted to watch some of the movies that we bought, so yeah. There was apparently another surprise, and it was Aquaria, but we couldn’t go there because of time constraint and the rain, so yeah. We went to the underground and saw the longest and most crowded queue line for LRT tickets that night.

We reached KL Sentral and took the ERL back home. We arrived in Cyberia at 11:30ish PM, with a bunch of big plastic bags (of her stuff), big grin on our face, and happiness all around.

So yeah, that’s what happened. It was mad fun, and possibly the best 2 days I’ve had this year. There was some parts omitted to keep certain persons safe, but those who were there with me knew what happened and that’s all that matters
And I also really hope that those of you who came had as much fun as I did too, and those of you who couldn’t go, no fret: Jazzy Jeff is coming this Thu, and a good chance some of us are gonna go again!

So that’s the summary! Thanks for reading and I better start cleaning up this place cus Helen’s gonna come soon!
