illusion of safety

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!
