I’m hungry.This is because I spent nearly two hours in the toilet tonight, doing what I do best.
On the bright side, my stomach has lost its bloated whale look.
On the downside, I can feel gastricitis setting in.
Jia Min told me something very disturbing the other day.
No, not that!
She said Subang Parade is being renovated. Is it true ar?
Pardon me while I sink to my knees and tear my hair out,
How can?! Subang Parade has all my childhood memories and now you’re going to change its essence!
Things are changing and I DON’T like it. Everything in Malaysia
is changing, my parents’ car got splashed with acid and red paint (damn
those loan sharks), Brother Ooi is coming to the US, everyone else is
going to crappy Melbourne, Malaysian girls for some unfathomable reason
are becoming obsessed with mature ethnic type clothing which I hate
(yes I will look stupid in it), and new places are popping out
everywhere.
I still haven’t been to Zouk, The Curve, or Ikano. I dunno what I was doing the whole of last summer.
And now Subang Parade is a-changing!
It was:
1. The first mall I had permission to go to with friends only.
Me, Hsin-Ee Tan and Davina Chan and Elaine Kan would troop over to
MacDonald’s there to buy french fries to dip into our sundae cones,
before going home to sleepover, where I would regularly scare Hsin into
thinking I was smiling at her in the middle of the night (those were
the days of buck teeth and before braces)
2. The first place where I got attacked by ah bengs.
Weirdly enough, metal specs, metal teeth, twigs for arms and a
washboard for a chest held some charm.
3. The ONLY place I dare to go without makeup and washed hair,
and wearing pasar malam shorts (ok la maybe Giant is another)
4. The first place I could drive to on my own when I first got my
license. The epitome of cool, driving to Subang Parade in my
pasar malam shorts, with Jia Min/Hsin in the passenger seat, slurping
on slurpee.
5. The only place where Hsin managed to park in TWO parking
spaces AND honk herself, and then wonder who dared to honk her in the
parking lot. HAHAHAHHA
Can I not grow up ar?
