i can remember spending a consecutive amount of saturdays with friends from sri cempaka. and they were mostly girls who were younger than me. which might be a problem now, but back then, it wasn't much of one. i would know...i dated one of them. uh...let's not get there.

now that i think about it, the whole lot of us was a good mix of gis and cempakan folk, which was pretty cool, come to think of it. going to 1 utama would've been the order of the day, and i'd take the number 21c intrakota from kota raya to get to 1U.

nowadays, there's a megamall right around my corner and i drive. things've changed. the cempaka girls have gone [even though i stay directly in front of one of them]. 1 utama is massive. and far. and there're not a lot of parking oppurtunities during weekends [actually, you have to wonder what people who should be working do at malls during weekdays]. my relationship with malls is strictly love/hate. i don't really like them because they're a sign of mass-capitalism taking over the very foundations of our society. people flocking there with nothing better to do than to be there, while there're probably a hundred more productive things that they can be doing [which i won't list down because...i don't have a hundred to list down].

but i love them because...well...they're fricking malls.

no surprise that i spent my saturday afternoon walking around a mall with an ice cream in hand, equipped with a dodgy accent and friend with a similarly dodgy accent, going to mpg reading chaucher [canterbury tales are excellent!] aloud with an even more dodgy accent. i love to make an ass of myself. going to toys 'r us and scaring kids? why not? though there's only one person whom i know would do that and they're long gone. anyway, playing cs for an hour [which i used to think was a waste of time after college] and walking around a mall? is that productive? no. but it was dead fun.

i should open myself up more to all this. i'm almost 21...lord, i need to act younger again. coz in the long run; i don't have anything to worry about. no, this is not a positive outlook statement. but, see...if 'life is not to fear; life is to enjoy' doesn't work, we're all very fucked, aren't we?
