thou shalt not conform when thou could blaze thy own path..
Pirates Ahoy!
Just went thru another program last saturday.
I woke at 5.30..took my bath and hoping to depart at 6 am.
As I drove me car out the parking lot, behold. Lo, a "pancit" tyre.
It was; my belated Friday the 13th for the year, a Malcom-In-The-Middle moment (read: worse case senarios).
So rushing for time, I was hoping to catch a taxi to my destination; One Utama.
It was saturday dawn; a taxi wouldnt fetch me while another tried to con me ("How much to 1u?" I said. "RM40" he said. "Bye" I said.)
So used lrt from Taman Melati to Taman Bahagia..which overall took 30 min..still alrite. Then took the taxi frm there and went to One World Hotel. Thankfully met a late fellow volunteer.
Let me tell u this; One World Hotel is just operational for 2 months, and the ballrooms' massive chandelier were so impressive tat I almost peed and able to accomodate up to 2200 ppl at a time (combine all 3 ballrooms). Too bad I didnt bring my cam.
So after a fast briefing, we went off to our post. The theme for the day was Pirates. So some of the volunteers were dressed up as so-call-pirates (their costumes alike ancient captains of the ships or pompous hey-men of the day rather than looters) and carousing the mall with a pirate flag each while smiling at passing lookers instead of grimacing or drooling at one side of the mouth.
I was the bodyguard for the precious clues which the participants were supposed to get before could proceed to the next step, but we were cheeky to ask em to do something first, like "Kidnap any kid from the area surrounding us" which was replied by a concern parent-participant with a pained look of "Really?" and also "Loot something from the surrounding shops.." which excited way too many participants but which we stopped them by "Whoa..Hang on. Just kidding" before handling em the clues.
Met some really cute ppl on the road, only to discover em all..born years behind me. *sigh..
When it comes to my age, the cute ones are either taken or eligible as a stand in for ur younger brother. *sigh..So it's a look-only-hands-free kinda thing with celibate in thoughts.
Anyway, the program ended with aplomb, and we (the volunteers) went shopping!
I for one, never really liked shopping in groups that much cos I dun like waiting for ppl to browse stuff that I dun like, in another word, I have weird taste. So getting bored, I digress every once a while and get stuff for meself.
By the time we finished, a friend volunteered to fetch me home. Finally, Lady Fortune smiled upon me.
So he fetched me back, and I chia-ed him dinner, and brought him to see the house and he went back.
What? Were you expecting some hanky-panky, petting session and dirty details here?
Hehe..dream on.
