Delaqroux Inc Updates!
And i'm in a pickle. Translation in modern jargon: I'm in a dipshit '___'
Okay, so here's what happened. I'm again, back in IPBA. So here's the original plan. I do intend to go back IPBA to terminate my maxis broadband account in KLCC. Basically the whole process of termination can be done in just few hours but i intended to stay for a lil while as i heard that Shogi is still in IPBA because of his unimates visa problem, Adelynn will be back to IPBA as she needed to go to PCFair for a new laptop, Adam and Preena will be back to IPBA for a MARJON meeting . So i thought its like a mini reunion of people XD
So here was my plan; come back to IPBA on Saturday. Shogi and Adelynn will be out for the PC Fair but i still have the maxis modem unterminated yet so i will have all the net for myself =D. On the following day, i will go to KLCC early morning and terminate the account. Adelynn will have some Buddhist stuff that day and i wont be able to be online anymore but Adam and Alex will be arriving back to KL so maybe we can lepak in Manawerx or ComicMart. On Monday, Adam and Preena will be settling the MARJON stuff for the whole day and i still cant go online, so maybe i can lepak with Adelynn and Shogi instead. On Tuesday, preferably no one will be busy with anything so we ALL can go lepak somewhere (like Ming Tien for instance XD).
Everything was devised and i thought it will be a good week of lepaking in KL.
Well, it didnt.
Apparently, Adam, Alex nor Preena will be coming back to IPBA as their meeting is postponed up until next year. Shogi settled his stuff already and so does Adelynn. Shogi will be going back to Seremban tomorrow as it seems like there's very miniscular sign of us going to lepak altogether. Adelynn, however, is not sure when she will be going back yet (she just say that if she's free then we lepak). So technically my stay will only be to lepak with Adelynn and that is not even certain yet. And what's worse, regardless of what; i still have to terminate my maxis 2mro in other words or i will get charge an extra 70 bucks. In other words, i'll be alone without any net connection nor ppl around for the whole day. And the day after that (the day that i'm supposed to be lepaking with Shogi and Adelynn while Adam and Preena settle their MARJON meeting), well, there's no more Shogi and i'm not sure yet if Adelynn would even be free or staying at all. Yeah, i can just run back to Selayang after i terminate the account 2mro but what if Adelynn actually do want to go out and lepak the day after or that very same night? Ngaaa... I do want to lepak with her oso! I tried asking Adelynn to be sure whether if she wants to stay after 2mro but you know how hard it is to get a reply from Adelynn if you're not face to face with her =3=. And... oh yeah, did i mention that my phone credit will expire by 2mro?
So what am i to do la now!!!!???

Fly Me to the Moon
Delaqroux Inc Updates on "Fly Me to the Moon"...
*sigh*... Isnt the song just gorgeous? I just watched over a scene of "Down with Love" yesterday and apparently, the song was used for one of the love scene between the couple in love. For the first time for me, the song was carried out in a duet and it simply has that lovely reminiscing feel to it. The tune is just classical, the singers' voice are just angelic and the lyrics are simply breath-taking (it's not normal for me to use the term "breath-taking" but i do use it occasionally for something that is really really undescribable). Anyways, checking on the net, the song was remade by various artistes and the latest seems to be by Utada Hikaru. I love her version the most but Frank Sinatra's remake was just as beautiful as well. Well, maybe when i'm in love again (hopefully any time soon :p), I'll come up with my own version of "Fly Me to the Moon". I mean, there's simply no reason to not fall in love and not to fall in love with that song at the same time...
(Utada Hikaru's Opening Lyrics)
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem singing
With music and words I've been flying
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying
I'll translate as i go along...
(Original "Fly Me to the Moon" lyrics)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars,
and let me see what spring is like
on jupiter and mars,
In other words;
Hold my hand,
In other words;
Baby, kiss me...
Fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more,
you are all i long for -
all i worship and adore,
In other words;
please be true,
In other words;
i love you...

Sapienphobia?
Delaqroux Inc Updates
Just a few weeks back, all of us had gone off to another trip to Melaka. On the last night of our stay, Adam and Sharmyn fell sick for some unknown reason so they just stayed back in the inn while me, Amy and Vimal went out lepaking around. We got seperated in awhile when i sent Adam back to the inn after dinner. We were supposed to meet up in Dataran Pahlawan and 'coincidentally' Amy and Vimal will be meeting up with Daniel and he is supposed to send them back to the inn. Me, not exactly favouring Daniel's company and still having that mood to stay outside, choose to stay out a lil while longer while they went off with Daniel. When it was around 12am, i called Amy to find out if they're back to the inn yet (I didnt have the keys with me and i dont feel like waking up Adam or Sharmyn to come down and unlock the door). Turned out that Amy, Daniel and Vimal were off to some mamak place sumwhere and they will be back quite late. So i figured its time to go for some solo adventure touring around Melaka. So there was I, out around the empty midnight streets of Melaka all the way til morning comes all by myself.
So, that bring us to the issue here. Within my entire 'adventure' i walked off back from Dataran Pahlawan to Jonker street (by that time, all the stalls and stores were closing) and i lepak there for awhile. I didnt really feel comfortable with the facts that there are rowdy and drunk looking people running around the place. So i ventured off back to a McD outlet near Dataran Pahlwan as i was feeling for a midnight snack. McD was crowded with people, mostly with teenagers who suggestively might not like the idea of sleeping so early back at home. I had my meal and i walked out even when McD is such a merry place with music and free WiFi (i have my psp so i still can surf the net if i choose to spend the night there). I just dont feel like staying. Then i walked off around the park behind Taming Sari tower. I got myself on one of the benches and start staring aimlessly towards the sky. I kinda liked it there. During the day, the park was like the merriest place with kids running around and during the night, it's a romantic atmosphered dating place. Sure enough there was a couple not far from where i was sitting and they were enjoying the moment as well, neglecting my presence but at some point, they walked off away as a bunch of dudes decided to lepak sumwhere nearby and they were quite making alot of noise. I decided to walk off as well. So i thought i might as well walk along the Melaka Bridge overlooking Selat Melaka and the Eye of Melaka. However, i took the long detour around the A Famosa and all the museums. It has that creepy feeling when the places were all darked and knowing the fact that the place was a battlezone back then hinted that the place might be a lil haunted based on standard society's norm. Nonetheless, i took my time and walk leisurely. THere were nobody else there and i actually enjoyed the sightseeing. Soon, i reached the Melaka Bridge. I immediately doubled back as the Bridge was full of bikers parking by the sides and chatting along. I found myself walking alongside an unfinished high way. Obviously, there was no one there and it lead to the construction site by the Melaka river. As the place was supposed to be off-limits, it was empty, i ended up lying on one of the finished pathways right next to the river and had a good moment for myself back there all the way til i get a call from Amy that they;re back at the inn.
So, comparing the moments where i actually sat down and spend quite some time in one place and not in the other made me to establish a link between such actions. Why didnt i spend my time in some places but not on the other? I can just sit in Jonker street perhaps in one of the public pubs but i didnt. McD was a safe and sound place to spend the night until Amy returned back to the inn but i walked out after my meal. I can just stay in the nice park but i left when i got merrier company. I can just join along the bikers at Melaka Bridge and mind my own business while they do with theirs. Instead, i choose to go places where there's nobody else around. Hence, i found out that i dont enjoy the presence of other human beings around me. And when i think about it, while i was walking around i tend to look around the place to find out if there's any other human beings in the vicinity. As long as there's none, i will enjoy my leisure walk back at that place. And there were Vimal and Daniel both believing in the fact that Melaka streets are haunted as back in the history, lots of fightings and deaths occured almost everywhere. But then the fear of the supernatural never bothered me at all. I mean, i went to the Portugeise tomb and i actually enjoyed the cold breeze on top of the mountain at exactly 3am. I'm aware that going to tombs 3am at night might not be a fine idea but all i ever thought was; if there's such things as supernaturals roaming around, we're cool as long as i dont do something to disturb or piss them off (to tell you the truth, i got excited of the thought that i might make encounter at the tomb). They wont scare you if you dont make them to do so. But real living humans are different. Almost 90% victims of murder, rape or robbery has nothing to do with the ones commiting them. You never disturb them and yet, girls get jeered at or even raped and guys get mugged or beaten for the fun of it. So i have drawn a conclusion that all this while of me telling people to take care of themselves and one another, do not walk in a quiet street alone and only go to a place when you have friends around you; is all because that i fear humans. Humans are scarier than any other forms known to man. We neednt fear things that we cant see like ghosts or portugeist, neither do we need to be afraid of animals that will only harm you if they sense their safety is threaten- in fact, there's nothing for man to fear except man themselves (no, not fear themselves).
I found humans are scary. So i am suffering from... sapienphobia?

Delaqroux Inc 2008 Holidays Updates!
Delaqroux Inc 2008... wait.. i already mentioned that in the title..
In any case, i know that this blogpost came waaaay of course but i was promising to myself to promise my dearest fans out there a lil bit of touch on what I, your humble blogger of Delaqroux Inc, will answer your favourite question regarding what have I, your humble blogger of Delaqroux Inc, has been doing during the holidays so far. And yeah, as a little bit of side note; I was spending quite a long time in IPBA when everybody has long enrooted themselves to their comfy cushions at home. "What have i been doing in IPBA for so long?" Well, your answers lie within this blogpost. So, ladies and gentlemen, from SouthCarolina to Malaysia (wait.. what?), here comes Delaqroux Inc 2008 Holidaaaaaaaaaays Updaaaaaaaaaaaates!!!
NUMBER 001: TAKE YOUR TIME
For those who have been nothing but couch potatoes since last November should have known what "Take your time" stands for. For those who dont, well, it's the new catchline for OLDTOWN WHITE COFFEE (Yep, they just had their first advertistment on TV). Since the opening and discovery of Oldtown White Coffee outlet back in Bangsar South, I, Dark A. Delaqroux has officially declared it as one of my best lepak place in time of leisure. All you gotta do is just take a lil walk past the University Station from IPBA, find a nice comfy spot in Oldtown, and crash in with a glass of Ice Blended White Coffee (RM8.50- quite reasonable compared to Starbucks and CoffeeBean for something for a franchise's exclusive). Trust me. You'll get high on the white caffeine.
NUMBER 002: MAGIC THE GATHERING
Fine, fine.. I admit; i have joined the whole geek community of Magic the Gathering Trading Card Game (Shen-Ann, if you're reading this: who said you'll never see Magic Cards anymore the time you're in MacQuarie? :p) In any case, during the holidays, i have been spending quite some time in COMIC MART, Midvalley and MANAWERX, Millenium Square (Asia Jaya) with other Magic players (also called Gatherers) and trust me; if there's one thing beneficial about playing with a whole bunch of cards in a way that doesnt make much sense, is that; i've met a hell lots of nice people in just a short period of time (Adrian, Adrian, Elven Lady, Elven Lady's Boyfriend, Fahimi, Kenji, Nathaniel, Nicholas, Nurse, Ravellark Guy, Richard, Sheriff etc.). And because they're mostly into games and hobbies like these; i can tell that they're clean people- free from drugs, ciggarettes, social issues and they're all friendly people (you gotta be super humble when you're a n00b in Magic- so getting beaten shitless may feel slightly less painful) etc. Maybe the world would be a much better place if all guys learn how to love Magic then wrecking havoc all over the place.
NUMBER 003: REVISITING CITY OF OLDSKOOLNESS
If there's one thing that i look for when going for a long trips it's either cold high places, nice beaches, and hell lots of stops for food. In this case, MELAKA fills in the latter two requirements (Good enough for me). Since my last visit to Melaka back in... well... last June, i fell in love with the Jonker Street. Its in a heart of all the heritage sites, it's a home to almost all the food in Melaka and its home to one of the best duplicates of Petaling Street i have seen so far. And this year, my visit unfolds a fact that if you walk along the Melaka River (which also passes by Jonker Street), you'll end up with a kickass sunset view of Selat Melaka. So, here's all the highlights of Jonker Street in just one sentence. Daytime: Go sightseeing, lepak at Mahkota Parade or go hunting for nice food, Nightime: Go hunting for more nice food and walk around the happening Jonker Walk, PastMidnight: Go lepak by the river side, stroll around the empty streets of Melaka... or go hunt for nice food.
NUMBER 004: IT'S WINTER IN MALAYSIA?
Living in a place situated strategically close to the... uh... how do you say that in English again? Umm.. Garisan khatulistiwa, you might end up living your whole life without experiencing any cold sensation of winter. Of course, you may never get to feel the snow but feeling that maximum chill is still possible in GENTING HIGHLAND NIGHTWALK. Of course some of you will go like, "Cheri pa! Genting Highland where got cold lah, Joe". Well lemme correct your question. It should be; "Cheri pa! Genting Highland where got cold DURING THE DAY". Precisely, take my challenge, go to Genting highland, screw all the themeparks and indoor malls and friggin go lepak outdoors under the stars and in the cold furious winds from 12am to 6am till the sun comes out. Trust me; if you die of cold there... well... Cheri pa! So much for your Genting where got cold eh, Joe?
NUMBER 005: LIVE A HOBO'S LIFE IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST AIRPORT
Due to a twist of misfortunate events, a particular Sarawakian missed his flight back to Miri (Read my previous blogpost "Lords of the KLIA: Fellowship of the Lost Sarawakian" for more in-depth report). So what do you, as friends do, pack up your bags of laptops and sweaters and live a night sleeping under the ceiling and on the cold frozen floors of KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT up til the crack of dawn. I mean, there's not much of entertainment it seems here (except for the free WiFi) and the food here are slightly more expensive, but the experience of sleeping in KLIA is... well.. not that bad. Sleeping in a public place can be fun if you're actually doing it with friends :p
NUMBER 006: IPBA NIGHTWALK @ IPBA GHOSTBUSTING (?)
I rather call it with IPBA Nightwalk coz seriously, there isnt much of a ghost busting that can be done in IPBA especially when you're just having a wooden katana, a couple of black old record CDs and a duel BB gun instead of a Proton Cannon. In any case, if Malaysia never really have Halloween celebrations, well, we make one! All you gotta do is just wear your weirdest compilation of ridiculous clothings, equip yourself with all the combination of things that just doesnt make sense, and go for a mini parade all around the dormitory and college compound with a camera recording each and every one of your pointless move exactly at 3am (3am is supposed to be the peek hours where all the devils come out at night- thus, maybe that's where the term IPBA GHOSTBUSTIN comes from). Anyways, the sheer pointlessness of it is just purely exhilirating. Oh yeah, just try not to be seen. Trust me; you dont want to be seen.
NUMBER 007: OF BANGSAR AND CURFEW
For unexplainable reasons, breaking curfew and going to bangsar seems to be interlinked with one another. I mean, the best thing to do in a place bounded by something called curfew hours is definitely something to do with BREAKING THE CURFEW HOURS. (By breaking we mean going out past the curfew time which is supposed to be from 11pm to 6am). And, if there's something to be done that breaks the curfew, it always have to do with going to BANGSAR. I mean, there's like a linkage between these two actions. Check tis out: We came back after the Cohort 5 Annual Dinner but we feel like staying out to lepak; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. We were staying up late chatting with one another and we felt hungry; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. Me and adam came back from MidV and we dont feel like going back to dorm, we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. Me and Shogi decided to celebrate Adelynn's birthday but cafe was closed; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar... See the never-ending link??
So yeah, that's all we.. I did (alone and together with some other people, of course) when i was alone in IPBA when most people have been lone gone for ther holidays. Of course, there are still the minor stuff we did that we thought might not need to be mentioned or highlighted. So where's number 8 to 10 you ask? Wel, i never said that this was countdown or whatever but i might be updating it with more stuff when i feel like it. Chao for now.
In any case, i know that this blogpost came waaaay of course but i was promising to myself to promise my dearest fans out there a lil bit of touch on what I, your humble blogger of Delaqroux Inc, will answer your favourite question regarding what have I, your humble blogger of Delaqroux Inc, has been doing during the holidays so far.

In any case, if Malaysia never really have Halloween celebrations, well, we make one! All you gotta do is just wear your weirdest compilation of ridiculous clothings, equip yourself with all the combination of things that just doesnt make sense, and go for a mini parade all around the dormitory and college compound with a camera recording each and every one of your pointless move exactly at 3am (3am is supposed to be the peek hours where all the devils come out at night- thus, maybe that's where the term IPBA GHOSTBUSTIN comes from). Anyways, the sheer pointlessness of it is just purely exhilirating. Oh yeah, just try not to be seen. Trust me; you dont want to be seen.
NUMBER 007: OF BANGSAR AND CURFEW
For unexplainable reasons, breaking curfew and going to bangsar seems to be interlinked with one another. I mean, the best thing to do in a place bounded by something called curfew hours is definitely something to do with BREAKING THE CURFEW HOURS. (By breaking we mean going out past the curfew time which is supposed to be from 11pm to 6am). And, if there's something to be done that breaks the curfew, it always have to do with going to BANGSAR. I mean, there's like a linkage between these two actions. Check tis out: We came back after the Cohort 5 Annual Dinner but we feel like staying out to lepak; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. We were staying up late chatting with one another and we felt hungry; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. Me and adam came back from MidV and we dont feel like going back to dorm, we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar.. Me and Shogi decided to celebrate Adelynn's birthday but cafe was closed; we decided to break the curfew and go to Bangsar... See the never-ending link??
So yeah, that's all we.. I did (alone and together with some other people, of course) when i was alone in IPBA when most people have been lone gone for ther holidays. Of course, there are still the minor stuff we did that we thought might not need to be mentioned or highlighted. So where's number 8 to 10 you ask? Wel, i never said that this was countdown or whatever but i might be updating it with more stuff when i feel like it. Chao for now.

Sleepless Nights.. no, literally..
Delaqroux Inc Updates...
I havent been sleeping well lately. Just cant seem to fall asleep. Started out since few nights ago. I mean, i do get some sleep but only for 2-3 hours but i dont feel rejuvenated at all. Guess i've been thinking too much since recently and in my life, it normally happens when that happened and thanks too that, more sleepless nights for me. At times, i'm starting to have this feeling that going to sleep is nearly the next scariest thing to do as that is exactly the time when i let my body remain inactive, simultaneously causing my head to function an extra 200%. So when my head is preoccupied with a whole list of stuff to think off already, this period of time where i should be sleeping will cause my head to go crazy. I cant count sheeps. I cant imagine grassy fields and open meadow. I just see things going back and forth, action and consequences, and worse still, my head will start struggling to look for solutions that will just make my head blow up.
Damn, i seriously feel tired... Maybe i'm thinking too much... Maybe i'm going crazy...
I'm exhausted with tryin to prove the impossible... I'm sick of trying to make people believe...
I dont feel significant... I'm starting to question my existence... Who am i really?
wait.. what?

Interspecies War
Delaqroux Inc Updates.
Well, there i was, minding my own business with my beloved laptop on the floor when i hear aweird buzzing sound coming from right behind me. It came from the locker and it sounds like something hitting on it, gently but in a very extremely rapid manner. At first i thought it was just our pile of plastic bags, gently buzzing in the wind. But no, it doesnt sound like it. First thing's first, it was a buzzing sound of somekind indeed. Second, it didnt sound gentle, it sounded more and more furiously constant that i started scanning around the locker side to find out what it was. And there it was, the answer to my question. I never support racism but if there's one thing black that i would love to hate, it's that thing; cockroach.
Damnit! OF all times when i'm all alone and without any aerosol spray cans! Thus, i deviced and execute a primitive pest-ridding plan that once worked back when Adam and I was in block 4, fighting over a little cockroach in the kitchen; grab a broomstick, whack the living deadlights out of the cockroach and shove it out of the room. It might not kill the cockroach but as long as it is out of the room, i'll feel safe again. So, i grabbed the broomstick and start whacking on the creature in full fury. Nope, it didnt work like last time. That is when i remembered the first rule in war. Ground armaments can beat ground units, but not air units. So, in the next second;
"OMGWTF THE COCKROACH CAN FLY!!!???"
Ladies and gentlemen, if there's one thing i despise even more than cockroaches are flying ones. Okay, for all those people out there who's going "Come on.. it's just a cockroach. what's the biggie yada yada yada", well, lemme tell you something. Imagine that long six legs of that cockroach crawling up your leg, moving deeper and deeper into your shirt so you cant see them but you'll still feel all skinny six tiny grip of them legs, creeping all over your four limbs fluttering its wings in a saddistic way when it thinks that you're never going to be able to find it? Imagine the feel of that six legged sonnovabitch in your hair when it landed on top of your head right out of the air when you're sitting duck below! Now, that's good enough of a reason to friggin kill that motherfucker flying cockroach!! Need any more??
Anyways, back to the story; for some reason, the cockroach seemed to understand the fear within me when i noticed that my plan to kill the cockroach failed. And for some point, it seemed to enjoy it as it started flying randomly across the room, missing my head by an inch everytime it passed by. I started dashing towards the door. It is true when they say that when you're in a panick state, nothing seems to work the way you want to. Our broken door which normaly can just be opened by pushing was stuck fast as in someone was holding it from the outside. It was like some sick hell in a cell match between me and the flying freak now. There wasnt any aerosoil spray in the room and continuously swinging the broomstick in the air will never hit something flying that fast. So what am i supposed to do? I rather die than letting that cockroach land on my hair and start crawling all over to the back of my neck and into my t-shirt collar. I can never stand that. I cant even stand the thought of it! I rather die!!
I looked around the room for the cockroach! Somehow, that bitch has landed on the floor, probably considering every moment now as a sweet saddistic game where i'm the one on the losing edge and he's just toying around with this other player trying to fight for his survival. Any wrong move i make now, and the cockroach is sure to fly again, probably precisely landing on me this time around. Shit! What do i do now?
Wait, what is that in my plastic piles? A can of spray paint? Well, i heard of these things having aerosol form of chemical inside them. Even if i'm wrong, the smell of the spray paint can knock out an individual if she or he get OD'ed of it. So, the paint inside must have somekind of a poison material somehow. Well, then, cockroach, let's see how strong you are... AGAINST A BLACK SPRAY PAINT!!! Before i realize it, i'm spraying furiously at the cockroach. I bet that thing never suspected me to make that move. It was a direct hit and the cockroach was glittering in the fluorescent light, covered in fresh wet, black spray paint. However, the cockroach started getting furious, it started fluttering its wing, running around in every direction aggresively. Perhaps, the paint blinded it or something. Eitherways, the cockroach couldnt seem to fly. Its opened wings seemed to be heavy to be moving properly as they are wet with black paint that they simply flutter and dragged all over the floor. It was a success but it might not be a permanent one. What if the cockroach will get back its flying ability once it manages to dry off the paint. I still have to sweep it out of the room... or at least, kill it. But how? Whack it with newspaper? No way, if one thing i hate as much as a cockroach and a flying cockroach is one with its exoskeleton all over the place and its guts smeared all over the floor. So, i need a nice clean kill.
As if some strange aggresive instinct to survive has led me beyond my senses. I grabbed the lighter on my table and immediatley, lit it up. I held the lit up lighter few inches from the nozzle of the spray paint, towards the temporarily helpless cockroach. Everything was in a straight fine line; the nozzle, followed by the fire from the lighter, and finally, the cockroach on the floor. I hit the nozzle to spray in full blast. The paint came out towards the fire and as i predicted it, the spray paint caught on fire in a classic flame-thrower manner. I was like a flame trooper in the middle of a battlefield. And my target; obviously, the cockroach. The flame flickered over the bitch's pathetic black body and soon swallowed the cockroach by whole. I did it! I burnt the cockroach alive!! As i easen up on the spray paint. I saw a small piece of creature fluttering around on the floor with still a lil bit of fire on it. It was half of the cockroach. His whole abdomen is on fire. For the first time throughout that quiet night, i chuckled and i laughed my lungs out. It was a pleasure to see that thing in pain. I feel powerful again as i grin happily over the last remains of the burnt alive insect in front of me.
So here's the summary of everything. Adnin saw a cockroach, he tried to hit it but that thing can fly. So when the cockroach landed on the floor, he took a spray paint and a lighter and flame throw the cockroach to crisp. Adnin 1- Cockroach 0

Lord of the KLIA: Fellowship of the Lost Sarawakian
Delaqroux Inc Updates LIVE in KLIA!!!
To make clear of some things first; me being in Kuala Lumpur International Airport have nothing to do with any delussional travel of truth into the past or the future (spirit walking is a newly presented term in Season 3 of Heroes in which refers to a sub-concious phase of yourself travelling through time and space continuum in order to find a knowledge that you seek). So here's the story behind me finding myself in KLIA.
(EDITED: the original title for this post was KLIA SPIRITWALK. So yeah, the previous paragraph might not make much sense, sorry)
I was in my room, shortly back from KL Central after me and my sidekick, little Adam Jay sent Lee to the KLIA from Central's KLIA Express train, when both of us got a lil suprise call. It was from Lee and if there's one reason why Lee would call an hour after he was sent to KLIA surely wouldnt be that he has reached Sarawak safely. But, he has missed his flight. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Lee has just got himself stuck in KLIA with all his luggages only to be able to take the next flight to Miri approximately around 6pm the next day. Oh, and did i mention what time was it when we received Lee's little call of doucheness? It was around 10.30pm. So, wise o' ladies and gentlemen, take out your calculator or perhaps your math wiz hat alongside a piece of paper and a pencil and pls, do the maths. If Lee missed his flight which is supposed to be at 10pm on Saturday, only to be able to take the next flight in 6pm the day after; how long does poor Lee Kok Lian has to wait in KLIA before his plane arrives? Yes, around 20 more hours stuck in KLIA. Talk about The Terminal crossover-ing with Dumb and Dumber =3=
In any case, Lee's little phone call for us wasnt aiming to give us a whole night of laughter. Instead, he seeketh for a little company (20 hours of waiting in the KLIA terminal, who wouldnt go crazy without any company?) and thus Adnin and Adam came to the rescue! *plays heroic theme song* Regardless, it was already 10.45pm and the last LRT to Central is at 11pm and the last bus from Central to KLIA is at 11.30pm! Our heroes got changed instantly despite the absence of any phone booths in the proximity and rushed out towards the door, Rush Hour style! As most of you might have already think of it, me, looking like a Chinese guy would obviously represent Jackie Chan and Adam, being slightly... tanned would of course represent Chris Tucker. In any case, that's not the point here coz Adam has feelings too so let us recognize Adam as Gimli the Dwarf and me representing Legolas the Elf Archer (still due to my fairer skin so i represent more similarly to an elfen warrior) as we rush towards saving Frodo (Well, Lee Kok Lian, of course, who else) from the evil clutches of isolation and boredom in the god forsaken land of KLIA!!! Thus, The Fellowship of the Lost Sarawakian is born!!!
We managed to arrive there on time and we caught Lee deeply immersed in his laptop, an early significance of aforecoming self-swallowing quicksand of boredom. We managed to get him back to his feet on time and we demanded an explanation of what actually happened over the missed the flight... over dinner in KFC! Nonetheless, RM14.90 for a Snack Plate!? Like, OMGWTFSOEXPENSIVE!!??11 It was then only that i remembered that meals in KLIA do appear to be more expensive compared to the ones in KL, similar to Genting and Langkawi. Oh well, this stomach hungers for a decent Hot and Spicy Meal and thus, Adnin submitted to slightly more expensive KFC snack plate... It was a hard decision to make for both me and my little sidekicks, Adam and Lee, as brood over our hardly saved money being taken away ruthlessly by the counter-lady. But what's this?? I asked for Hot and Spicy Chicken but what did i get?? It was an original one!! No, an original Hot and Spicy!! Hot and Spicy Chicken with its original recipe!! I paid extra and it was actually worth it; I received originality in my snack plate!! God!! It's the original recipe Hot and Spicy!!! (Okay, those whole crap about original hot and spicy got you confused, here's the explanation: recently, i have realized that HnS Chicken in KFC all over KL never had the original kick in it. For some different taste, i think they changed the original HnS recipe with the curry HnS recipe. I mean, check for yourself, the whole texture of the original and the 'fake' HnS Chicken looks different! The 'fake' one has red and black powder-ish thingy on top of them. The original has none. The 'fake' one taste like some kind of a cheap fried chicken went wrong- the original HnS tasted... original-ly heavenly! Back to the story, it was the original version of HnS being served in KLIA! The extra charges are worth it! I thought i was paying for a snack plate but no, i paid and i get a taste of the past!! And it was a blast!!)
After dinner, we finally understood how Lee had missed his flight. It was a long story but allow me to summarize it simply: Lee was a retard and he missed his flight, the end. In any case, the following hours after dinner was nothing exciting. Before we know it, both Adam and me was also swallowed up in KLIA's vortex of abbyss.. and boredom. Seriously, the shops are closing (in exception of few like McD and some bakery shop). We settled for a glass of Coke for all the three of us and we kept going for the free refilling all the way till morning (in total, we asked for 7 refills- talk about being cheapskates). Eitherways, i did fell asleep by some corner in the terminal for an hour and trust me, the floor was friggin cold. I woke up for awhile around 7am to look at the landing and take-off track for plans and i quite enjoy it, until a hell big bunch of kids start running in and out of the viewing patio overlooking the tracks and the plane hangar. Wish i can just tell them to shut up! I mean, cant anyone see that a once-wished-to-be-a-pilot guy have his own fantasy moment here!? Geez.. Dissapointed and wishing i have the power to blow up the whole viewing patio, i returned back to where Lee was sitting down (my previously sleeping corner) and went back to sleep. Oh, and by the way, it was already 10am by that time. lolz. Yep, I slept for another one hour and great gosh, it was friggin cold. I woke up an hour later only to realize that Lee and Adam were also sleeping next to me. It was then when i looked around the terminal and i realized that the whole place was already alive with people and we're the only bunch of people still sleeping by the corner. Wakaka! So this is how homeless feels like huh? Sleeping in public places with no care in the world while everyone else is rushing up and down the terminal is kind of fun.
Finally, we waited up until 12pm where Lee, fortunately, seem to get an empty seat on an earlier flight to Miri and thus he obligely accepted. Therefore, me and Adam headed back to IPBA with the thought of Lee, finally being able to fly to Sarawak, happily ever after.... The End. P/S: As a side note here; do not stick with Lee upon going aboard my flight to Sydney next year- he might just suddenly come with a sequel to this whole missing-flight-adventure thingy and i obviously, wouldnt want that to happen this time =__="
