This is my first week as a non-college student, and quite honestly I haven't gotten down to doing anything I had planned for myself. So far all I've been doing is staying indoors watching episodes of Jem on youtube. It hasn't been all that uneventful though because last weekend I went to Penang, last last Wednesday after my last paper I slept over a friend's and stayed up till 5am watching that Chelsea-Barcelona match (fine fine I didn't have a choice what with the two football fans), and two weeks ago right before finals I went on a day trip to Malacca and visited all the historical sites.
But right now things have really slowed down, well okay not really, but it's beginning to and I'm worried about the day when things really really slow down, when all the planned outings have been done and I have nothing else to do but get on with THE BIG PLAN. Driving. It's so scary. I need someone to force me to do it. I need someone to tell me that they won't love me anymore if I don't get off my ass and register. Or better yet, someone needs to tie me up and drag me kicking and screaming to that registration place just outside my house (yes, all this time it's been staring me in the face only I chose to ignore it). For special cases like me, I think threats and violence is the best way to get me to go through with it. So come on and beat me up.
On a cheerier and less disturbing note, yesterday the hat guy and I went out to watch two movies, Wolverine and Star Trek. I thought both were really cool but Wolverine earned more points because you get to see flashes of Hugh Jackman's naked bum. It made me all giggly. And I liked Star Trek because it was nice to see all of them so young. I especially liked Mr. Spock as a kid because he looked so adorable.
There's this place at Pyramid that sells Japanese ice cream and I love their chocolate and green tea flavoured ones. Yesterday I thought I'd try out something completely new and ordered their black sesame ice cream. The hat guy doesn't like weird ice cream flavours so instead of sharing with me I had to get him his own chocolate ice cream. His was all nice and chocolatey. Mine was grey and uh....dull-looking. I was wondering why it looked so different, until I realised that the guy didn't put the ice cream in the machine and make it all swirly. It was just flat ice cream in a cup. I wish I had said something to the guy!!!
this is how it's supposed to look like. Only taller and uneaten. It didn't taste that bad actually, but I didn't find it worth my 5 bucks. The hat guy, on the other hand, LOVED his (well of course he did, I paid for it. hehehe). And when he was done with his and saw that I still wasn't done with mine, he said "Are you done with your cup of ash yet?"
Oh how very amusing (not). I did manage to finish it off though, only I didn't wipe the cup clean like the hat guy did with his. On the bright side, we recycled our cups and spoons because the nearest bin was a recycle bin. That made me feel a lot better. But then I checked out my teeth in the mirror and saw that it had bits of sesame seed everywhere. Honestly. I am never going to have that ice cream again!
Having written this, I realise that I am still not satisfied with my Yokomon (that's the name of the shop) experience yesterday, because the ice cream wasn't swirly. I wish someone could take me back there so that I could have another one and this time I wouldn't order the black sesame. Oh and it would be swirly too.
Too bad I'd have to go all the way to Pyramid to get that satisfaction (15 minutes by car or an hour by train). Hmm... I wish I drove.

You wouldn't care if i hated you for not driving.
hahaha cup of ash.
but i love black sesame ice cream! i always have that when i eat dinner at this japanese restaurant with my parents.
@angelinlovesvodka - hi!! =D
Hmm...perhaps the black sesame ice cream you're used to is different! i.e. served the way it's supposed to be served like in the picture with nothing more or less. Mine wasn't swirled!!!!
