Lately i've been having trouble sleeping. It doesn't matter if i took extra precaution to prevent those flying buggers into biting me; somehow one always manages to slip through.

See, the thing that realls gets to me is when they are hovering right outside your ear.

bzzz.....bz bz bz bz bz.....bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (i can't write the exact phonics sound down)

IT ABSOLUTELY DRIVES ME UP THE WALL !!

And the worse thing is, you can't do anything about it except wrap yourself up like a mummy and hope that it flies somewhere else to drink someone's else's blood. As a natural reaction, whenever it flys around your ear, you'd TRY to whack it, but chances are you're gonna hit your ear, or worse, your face. I've never succesfully killed a mosquito while half asleep.

Stupid mosquitoes.

Recently, a friend passed me some reading material to help me pass the time at home. And boy, did it help.

When she said that she didn't understand the book, and she regretted ever buying it, i laughed at her.

When she said that she's too stupid for the book; i just had to give it a shot.

When she said that she didn't even finish it ; i'm almost tempted to follow in her her footsteps.

We're both too stupid for the book. For anyone trying to wreck their brain cells, go read it.

The God of Small Things, author Aryunthati Roy (i don't even want to check the book for the correct spelling of the name.)

Anyway, from what i gather, it's about... India.
And the Indian caste System that the author Sort Of Explained in the Vaguest Way (look, i'm writing like her. The entire book is written like this).

Towards the end of the book, i still had no idea what's going on, or what the hell am i supposed to be understanding.

By the way, it won the Booker Prize award as well. My friend's such a sucker to fall for these kind of books with awards pasted all over the covers. HEhe

No updates till i'm done playing Suikoden V. Maybe i'll write something about it later.

..in the casino at least.

CASINO'S ARE BAD for my health ><

They're especially bad if you have a friend that gets violent should you stay there for hours instead. Hehe

Weird thing is, they have this pamplet in most corners of the casino. In big bold letters it says :

"Do you have a gambling problem?" (or something along the lines)
"Go for some meeting or call this number to help solve your addiction" (again, something along the lines).

Smart of them to have these stuff hanging around the casino's. I'm sure someone will call that number. Or maybe use the back of it to predict the outcomes in the roulette table instead.

Ahh...nothing like pretending to be a professional gambler and losing money instead.

To me at least. I wonder if anyone went through it. (ALL of these happened in Midvalley).

1) While watching Harry Potter  (i forgot which part, it's the one with snakes), there was this stupid couple in front of me. When the movie began playing halfway, the guy said this to the girl in a loud voice ;

Guy : oh look, it's a SNAKE!

Girl : really ar?? WAHHHHHHHHHHH what a big snake!

Guy: aiyor, look at that snake!

Girl : where did the snake come from?

Guy: ...so big...

Me:  ...........*faint*

They went on like that throughout the movie.

2) I love horror movies. Yet there are stupid parents that brings their 3 year old kids to a horror movie. Which results in the dumb kid wailing and screaming and crying alongside the actors. Geez, there are kiddie movies for this reason, don't bring them to watch Aliens or something.

3) I simply love people kicking my chair for 2 hours straight. It's like driving through a bumpy path. Yup, nothing beats having your chair kicked and sometimes your head.

4) I especially LOVE the kind of people who ALREADY WATCHED THE MOVIE, and then go for a second round. Why? Because they love to describe the scenes before it happens, and therefore telling you who died, or who's the traitor, or the world actually ended.  Thanks a lot, i spent money to hear someone telling me the storyline instead. (i experienced this with the Matrix)

Besides the usual dumb people who don't turn off their handphones and chit chat as though they're in the mamak, these are my hungups.

Give me DVD's anytime.

It's been centuries since i've stepped into Malaysia's smelly cinemas. If you want to meet the rudest categories of Malaysians, just head to the nearest movie theater and you'll meet them. In fact, i was gonna start complaining about them but then i realize, that's not what my title meant.

Anyway, as i was saying, i'm gonna go... relieve the nightmares of the cinemas tonight by watching the highly controversial movie , DaVinci Code.

(from what i read, during the movie's premiere, it has VERY BAD reviews. One of the advices was to read the book, THEN watch the movie.)

So...i'll tell you how it goes :D

*not putting any high hopes*

I've been having this annoying ulcer in my mouth for the past week. The gum on my upper row of teeth is somewhat potrudin and it hurts like hell. In fact, when i saw it yesterday, there was some pus in it :D

Anyway, the pus is gone, but the damn gum is still sticking out and bothering me.

So i've been trying various methods to cure it. I've tried :

1) Gargling salt water

2) rubbing some icky "oral aid" ointment which leaves my entire jaw numb

3) Drinking lots of cold water (i don't know who told me this, but it sure ain't working).

So far, NONE worked. I guess drinking coffee and eating fried stuff didn't help as well.

But now, my mom gave me another idea.

Rub salt directly onto the gum. Apparently it's a surefire remedy. And it hurt... A LOT. Now all i taste is salt. Even water i'm drinking taste salty.

So....can someone kindly give me more suggestions? I NEED to get this over with!
