Ahoy there, I, the blogger and boss of The Life & Times of JimCocobean is back. Thanks for clicking over again.
So what's with Lights..Camera...and TGIF? Here's how it went:
It was Friday morning, I woke up (like DUHHH!!!). Guess what? WHAT? I have to drive my almighty Proton Hero to the LRT again today, yes yes, the same Proton Hero I cursed the other day. Once again I was running late. For work. Grabbed << ( I seriously didn't know "grabbed" existed as past tense for "grab" until I typed it out.) a curry puff, stuffed it into a plastic bag and stuffed the plastic bag into my bag and stuffed the bag into the car. Let's skip everything else on the way shall we?
Right, this time I locked the car > MANUALLY < and hurried off to the platform. Train was empty, cool. While waiting for myself to reach my destination, I took out earphones for my phone to plug-in and start listening away. You know what? With super weirdo elf-like ears which aren't quite the usual pattern or shape, it is really, or should I say, VERY hard to put in earphones, cause earphones are for standard ears, NOT COOL. I felt so defeated by that darned ear piece, but I managed to get the better of it later on. Right, as for my office automated glass door, let's not copy&paste ok? Go read the previous blog yourself and find out what's wrong with it. I logged in at 0931hours. ARGHHHH, My shift starts at 0930hours. For that ONE MINUTE my ENTIRE MONTH'S RECORD OF NOT BEING LATE was ruined.
How could life be so EVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL to me? Anyway, lunch was MEE JAWA, I terribly wanted to take a picture of what I ate today but I did what Suzanne (BF classmate Monkey) usually does, I was hungry and I accidentally ate half of it before realizing I wanted to take a picture of it. Gosh, I really must control myself sometimes. Workload was quite heavy today, as like everyday. Nope, I didn't watch online videos after lunch today, I was too tired to pay attention to moving materials. I slept instead. Let's "forward" the story a little from this point. Yeah!!! Work time is history and I am off to the LRT station. No that's not it, a little more forward-er... Yeah that's right all the way to car park (where my legendary Proton Hero lays.) Praise the Lord for it(the Proton Hero) STARTED. IT STARTED. I rushed home to bathe and eat and then I had to fetch a little girl from OUG (Overseas Union Garden) named Eileen to my church (Glad Tidings Sunway). Finally, we're getting to my point here. THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY. (No no, not the restaurant, I'm just thanking God that it's Friday that's all.)
Anyway there's this event called MOVIE NIGHT by the GTSyouTH. Such a wonderful event it would be if only YOU were there to experience it. We don't have cool looking seats, we don't have fancy pop-corn stalls with drinks dispenser, we don't have a cinema, we don't even have air conditioning, and we don't have the latest movie. So what's my point? What about our OH-SO-GREAT MOVIE NIGHT? Nothing. It is all about how wonderful the committee members made the event to be. We have comfortable platforms to lie down on (who the heck needs seats when you can lay around with a bunch of your good-for-nothing friends?). We have like tonnes of FREE JUNKIES, FREE DRINKS (who the heck needs any popcorn stall with drinks dispenser when they're given to you for free?), and guess what? We have like THX sound system man. You can only believe me if you're now near deaf due to sitting to near to the two powerful blasters/amps/speakers/whateverthenameis. Boy oh boy, and what about a cinema? We have LCD-projectors (these are not cheap equipments for your knowledge). The Movie? DRUMLINE. (the BEST choice to test-blast the amps we have set up.) It was a really nice movie too, watch it yourself and comment it later ok?
~After everything has been done and said, TWO THUMBS UP for the committee members and all their hard work. Truly I'm very proud of our event, all glory be to Him, and the rest of it goes to the supporting visitors who came by and make a hell lot of noise together...I'm sure we're all happy (for those who are not go hang yourself), *Clap clap clap clap*~
About the pictures taken during the event, I'll have to post it up much later because they are not with me currently so I can't upload it. I'll re-edit this post again if I have the time yah? So let's move on with my story shall we? As I was saying, after stuffing myself with Ice Lemon Tea & a few packets of Twisties and some Pringles and some Choki-Choki (Tube'o'Chocolate sold in Malaysia), I rose up to make my way home. At this point, KiatYee (girl from GTS,she's taken think no further) told me she wants to drive her friend Eileen (whom I fetched to GTS earlier) home with her (KiatYee's) car. Here is what it meant:If I were to fetch Eileen home, KiatYee will just drive home (Sunway), Eileen stays at OUG,(Overseas Union Garden). If KiatYee were to drive Eileen home with me in her car as well, it means KiatYee will travel from Sunway to OUG and back to Sunway where I can get into my car which is in Sunway and drive home to Seri Petaling (which happens to be right next to OUG). You get it? Go figure... I was thinking exactly the same thing as you when I first told myself this, I don't even know how I managed to blog it out in words. BUT, anyway, I knew she (KiatYee) just wanted to practise her driving skills on a highway and a little further from home that's all, so I don't mind spending that little extra time with her. (YES SHE'S TAKEN AND SHE'S MINE STOP THINKING).
I finally made it home in one piece. Tired and dirty, I went straight to the bathroom and cleaned up. Whatever comes after this ain't interesting to talk about, so I'll leave it out for you to end it your way again ya? As for me, I am gonna make myself a good cup of hot chocolate before jumping off to bed. There's only one thing better than a cup of hot chocolate before bedtime, and that is TWO cups of hot chocolate before bedtime. LoL. Good night and pleasant dreams. May the heavens watch over you as you lay to rest. Tomorrow is another long day, God Bless. Praise the Lord for his grace shall we? Amen =).
I almost forgot, for the upcoming event at GTSunway, it's called WAR GAMES, don't be left out, click on Fun & Games at GTSunway now for further info!!!

Of Faulty Access Cards & Flat Batteries...
Such a good day it would have been if it wasn't for faulty access cards and flat batteries...here is how it went:
As usual mornings go about, this one is really not that usual at all. Mom & Dad left earlier today and I had to drive to the LRT station myself. First thing's first, I woke up by myself (woah), and I am not late (double woah!!!), I also found a pleasant parking spot (woah woah woah!!!). Right, as I was saying, unusual stuffs do happen sometimes.
The LRT was SO empty today (woah x 4!!!). I didn't even have to queue up. And so it came to be that I made it in time to my workplace whereby I am separated by a glass door that requires a certain (faulty) access card. BUMMER!!! ~Beep~ goes the sensor as I wave my card over it. Access denied... GREAT. Why would they want to give me an access tag that doesn't work? Thankfully my colleague walked pass and "beeped" opened the door for me. By the grace of God I was still able to log in early. For the next 8 hours or so, all I did was making calls out to angry Chinese people with "NO SALESMAN" stamped on their foreheads. Anyway let's jump over to lunch time. *I ate brunch around 1130hours while making the calls*. Then at about 1500hours I went down to the grub store and bought some waffle and a chicken floss bun, with a cup of tea. That's about it. I watched "The Super Trio Continues" (a HongKong game show) during lunch AND after lunch all the way till I leave the workplace (cool job isn't it?).
As I hurried off to the LRT station, I caught sight of a Sony Ericsson exhibition booth, darn them bloody fat headed cheaters. Out came another model W580i which has the exact same design as my S500i, but better because I wanted a "white coloured" model and they HAVE one. I wanted "FM Radio" functions and they HAVE it on that W580i. Ok, here's when you will be thinking why the heck I even bought MY phone (S500i). To put it simply, I liked that design (it just doesn't have my perfect needs) IN WHICH THEY HAVE IT NOW ON THAT CURSED W580i. (>oo<) Angry- Nya!!!
"Oh well!" I thought to myself, no use whining about it now. So I moved on towards the LRT station. I guess being packed into a can of tuna on the way home is the only usual thing that happened today. *I feel so short in the train, there is this Mr.Singh beside me who is at least 1 foot taller than I am*
Finally, last stop, The Jalil Hill ... erm ... ok, Bukit Jalil. Here goes the unpleasant part, as you see, my one-of-a-kind Proton "Hero" has a very unique function. If you lock your car using the alarm system (which means not using the manual key locking way), and leave it out in open air where the sun is scorching the alarm goes off by itself until it drains the battery. OK OK listen, my mom & dad had always told me not to lock it with the alarm system during the day, WHICH I DID AS THEY TOLD TODAY LIKE EVERYDAY ELSE!!! but NOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO (the longest no you've ever heard *Russell Peters*)... the battery STILL CHOSE TO DIE ON ME. Of course, I was stuck.
A good Samaritan drove his car over to me and asked if I needed to jump start, (at this point the battery is still running, where I can turn on the air-cond and lights and windows and radio so I didn't thought it was the battery's fault), I gladly thanked him for his kindness and told him it was not the battery (something which I said to him it's some other weird problems which he probably can't help). BUMMER x 2!!! He drove away of course. I called dad, he came over ... and he brought the jump-start cables, so we gave it a try (in the process I kept telling my dad confidently that it has nothing to do with the batteries). That bastard started!!! IT STARTED!!! My dad gave me that you-don't-know-unless-you-try face. ARGHHHHHHHH, I hate Protons, especially "HEROES". I then drove home grumpily cursing the car with all sorts of words.
My troublesome Proton Hero, with cables stuck on its batteries.
Fu-yoh,like some car magazine picture, my ass LAR!!! Darned batteries.
Oh well, at least I made it home in one piece I guess. Whatever after that is not much of a significance, so I left it out for you to end the tale in your own way. What an unpleasant day, but I'm grateful. Praise the Lord. Sweet dreams.
