Nightmares are made of these

I'm seriously addicted to this right now.

I was super-duper late today. Masuk office pukul 10:30. Seriously, masa study dulu pun tak lambat melampau macam ni. Priceless.

You know, I really love my extended family, I really do but even I think their behaviours are absurd sometimes. Okay, scratch that. They're absurdly weird ALL THE TIME. I come from a long line of weird-ass weirdos. Only a few of them can be regarded as normal. And thank God, I'm one of them.

For example, I have a cousin whose purpose in life is to piss me off. It really pains me whenever she asks me to go shopping with her because she likes to ask me "ni nampak mahal ke tak?". Betul, tak tipu. She would ask that tak kiralah barang tu mahal ke murah. That question gets on my nerves every single time. Everytime I was faced with that question, I'd deliberately chose something else and say, "benda tu lagi nampak mahal dari benda merepek ni" (lengkap dengan a pissed off look, only people don't know that it's a pissed off look).

Oh wait, I didn't tell you that she has a bunch of friends who would ask the same question too, right? Oh well, they do. If you think that it's normal for me to be pissed because I'm easily pissed off, here's something for your imagination. I think we females can easily go in and out of about 20 or 30 shops in one day when we're in our shopping moods. Can you imagine? 30-"ni-nampak-mahal-ke-tak?"-type-of-questions? It's amazing that I'm still alive and didn't succumb to my desire to slit my wrist every time I heard that question.

Did I tell you that my cousin will be 28 this year?

I thought my cousin and her friends and her sisters were the only ones who would ask that question in this wide universe. To my horror, I discovered today that my co-workers like to ask the same question too. Rasa macam nak pengsan pun ada tadi. When I asked them why the question, they said something like, "Alah, Wani memanglah tak payah fikir pape. Semua pun barang branded" (it always pains me to hear the word "branded" too). You know, I had about 200 responses for that, but I kept them to myself.

I really hate it when people assume that I'm somewhat rich. I'm not, okay. If I were, I wouldn't be working my ass off kot. Itupun masih broke lagi. Dahlah sekarang ni asyik balik malam je. I still remember that on my first day of working, one of my colleagues asked me whether I come from a "well-off family". I just smiled politely and said no.

Duh McDuh betul.

Oh and during lunch, I heard someone uses Ring Ding Dong as her ringtone. Rasa macam nak menangis pun ada bila dengar tadi. I blame Ijan for introducing me to that nighmarish song.

So everyone knows that I've been rooting for Johnny Weir since the start of the Winter Olympics (someone said, "it's like American Football, it has nothing to do with us", when I told him that I like Winter Olympics. He hates everything glamorous and fabulous I believe), so it's normal for me to be devastated that he was left with a sixth place position. Now here, I know zilch about figure-skating but I do know something about fabulosity and his performance was fabulously glamorous. His performance was absolutely better than those three people he was behind. Ijan will co-sign that I think.

And if figure-skating is all about the jumps and not about the performance, then I think this year will be the last (and only) year I'd waste my time on Winter Olympics because the little twinkie queen of all little twinkie queens wouldn't have any chance until he's at least 35 years old.

In the meantime, go spread the glamour across the world Johnny boy!

• I have to include this!http://www.bestweekever.tv/2010-02-18/when-did-male-figure-skating-get-so-sexxxy-a-guide/
• and this too!

• I know, I know. Jakey Poo is playing for the other team but he looks so goofily cute in this video. I still can't believe Vampire Weekend has a Jonas brother and Jakey Poo in their video. And that girl can't play tennis for the life of her! She doesn't even know how to hold a racquet properly! And yes, everything I know about tennis, I learned from watching Rafael Nadal flexing his biceps.
• Oh one more thing, I really think that Alexa Chung is this generation's Yoko Ono :( I weep for the future Arctic Monkeys could've had if she weren't in the picture.
• Have you ever heard of the saying "only you can demean yourself"? (newsflash: I came up with that brilliant saying actually). Poor Toyota and Honda, not even their closest competitors can do what they're doing to themselves right now and I think that's horribly sad.
