Of Sphinxes, Mummies and Starbucks /// 6:22 AM
Okay, okay, before you all go into a panicked frenzy screaming `Ajay has a blog!! The world as we know it is ending!! Oh how will we survive thi- , you get the point. I've been wanting to make a blog for sometime now, but never got around to it. So, for my grand first post, I'll blog about my day in Pyramid!
Woke up at 9 and said...uhh...5 minutes...went back to sleep, woke up and went...aahh...5 more minutes...and then, err, you get the picture. So at 9.30, i got out of bed and brushed my teeth, got ready and everything, and set off pyramid bound! Well, picked up Kenny before that.
Arrived at pyramid and people were staring at us like: ` Hmmm...I think they should be in
a torture chamber somewhere having useless and potentially untrue things stuffed into their poor excuse for minds school". So, after collecting the tickets, we went to Popular! Halfway there Kenny said "You know, Phanit's supposed to wait for us at the cinema-place ," and i said "Ehhh, he'll be fine," so we went to Popular, looked around and soon met Sarah! Who then walked off to look for Breaking Dawn. While she was doing that, Geraldine came! With most of the group there, we were going to set off to MPH until we realized
the movie was about to start Phanit was waiting for us. So we went to the cinema place, all together and saw Phanit! And he burst out laughing. Hmm. I worry about him sometimes. Turns out he was in the arcade since 10-something. Anyway, we all bought some form of refreshment and i got popcorn from the snackbar.
Watched 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'. The beginning was boring, so considering that there were only about 10 other people in the cinema, Geral and I starting making jokes at the serious moments and Geral was making comments at how fake the Chinese sounded. As the movie went on, it was funny at parts, but what demeaned it was that they didnt even fight the mummy at times when the clearly could! They would have saved themselves a lot of bruises and undead fighting if they actually killed him sooner. But what we laughed at the most was the fact that there was a yak in a plane affectionately named `Geraldine'. Whenever she was described( hairy, smelly), the 4 of us were laughing our heads off while Geral was hitting me on the shoulder.
After the movie we went for lunch to Ajisen Ramen. Before the food was served everyone was telling me that i shouldn't drink Coke ( i was the only one who ordered it, everyone else got Ocha) because its 'unhealthy'. Riiiiiight. Then the food came and our attention was diverted to the way we each held our chopsticks! So we all finished our food and waited for Geral to finish eating. Sarah was on her phone and Phanit was...well...Phanit.
After we finished lunch, Sarah left us to go shopping with someone and we headed off to go ice skating! Unfortunately, the rink was being used for some 'Skating Asia' or whatever. Gerald and Kenny were the most distraught because the main reason they came was to watch me and Phanit fall..Fair weather friends.. Hopes dampened, we headed back to Popular, browsed and left. Walked around summore before heading to MPH where we browsed again and came across a book that had gunshots in it!
Really, from far away, it looks real enough!! So then we went to go Starbucks where we went 3 to a coffee! No one would let me take a picture of that though :(
Yes, Geral likes the cream. After getting caffeinated, we went to the arcade where we played Mario Kart!! Hehe, in the last game where all 4 of us played, i came out on top! *puffs out chest proudly* Gerald was second, Phanit was third and Kenny was fourth i think. After leaving the arcade we alll agreed that we felt slightly deaf and yelled suggestions for our next endeavor.
We were going to go bowling, but Geral was gonna leave soon so we headed to a CD shop and exclaimed " Oh wow!! (Insert artistes name here)," at artistes we've never heard of. We left and when we entered the place where you're inside the pyramid that you see outside, i exclaimed" Wow! Just imagine, were in the pyramid that people see ouside!" Gerald said " Oh yeah.." Then i went" We should take a moment to appreciate this moment," and Kenny said " Wow! This is so amazing!! Lets sing Negaraku!". To get a bit of fresh air ( well, not really fresh, next-to-highway air maybe) we went to Uncle Lims to just sit down and talk. Kenny and Phanit got drinks and Geral and i took pictures!
After that we waited outside to be picked up and made a shocking discovery! Phanit was wearing white and pink!
We all proceeded to deem pink the most masculine color in the modern world! Then Geral asked me : " Ajay, why don't you wear pink?,"" Oh, it's too masculine a color for me Geral. I think the only guy ever masculine enough that can pull it off is Phanit!," at which she laughed in a way that would make the yak proud to share her name. We saw Sarah running by to her moms car and we all yelled "Sarah!!" After that we parted ways as our parents came. Phanit was the last to leave. Well, i hope you enjoyed my first post! :D
