Lat Was Here

Papa just bought me a book called ‘Lat Was Here’. He wanted to introduce me to Lat. He just bought all 9 Lat books from Borders, in The Curve. I just started but after even 5 pages, I couldn’t stop laughing! Imagine, which hospital would ask the physiotherapy patients to walk in this ‘lorong’ and pay a toll??? I mean with the bandages there and here, and some will find it hard to walk……who would do such a thing?

I know who, the doctor in the real life Lat’s head. The other laugh-my-head-off cartoon goes like this:

Narration: Dr. Ling Liong Sik goes to work.

That guy is the ‘Dr. Ling Liong Sik’ and he is saying: “HALO! I’ll be late to office this morning! AA! Too many passengers laaa. AI YAAAA!!!”

That isn’t very relaxing for be because I have too use so much energy to laugh at the comics and I can’t help myself.

Papa says Lat is very old and the writer drew himself. His name isn’t actually Lat but his father called him ‘bulat’ because he is a rounded guy. The nickname from that nickname is Lat so that was how Lat was called, well, Lat. His comics are HILARIOUS! I’m sure you all know that. Papa said he would buy me a whole collection….yay me!

My School Rocks!

Well, actually my school don’t rock but a ‘thing’ which includes dancing, singing and High School Musical, the new ‘in’ movie. It is a dance competition from schools all over Malaysia to one of the songs from the movie. I am not in the group from my school, even though I want too, because I know we would get into trouble from the teachers because we will be skipping class to rehearse. My friend, Elyza Amira, also wanted to join but didn’t because of the same reason and also because she is a prefect so she would be too tired with screaming at the top of her lungs to ask the crazy class to keep quiet, hardly eating anything every day because her recess is only 10 minutes and also because she would have to keep up with tons of homework every day and if she doesn’t, she will have to ‘retire’ from being prefect.

To be in this competition, we have to form a team and audition to see if we’re good enough to be in the competition. The first place winner gets to be on tv or something i think. Second and third place gets a ‘thing’ i don’t really care. Though I always wanted to escape from the ‘pasar malam’ and get peace which is helping t he teacher get his/her stuff to the teacher’s lounge. But as usual, my class teacher will always pick Avyinaeesh to bring her stuff to the teacher’s lounge. If its not Avyinaeesh, its Gunfighter (Daniel Gan), Justin Timberlake (Justin Lee, the class monitor) or Yvonne Chong, the assistant monitor.

Though I know Justin and Yvonne don’t get the ’slow walk’ relaxing because they have to remember a lot of stuff that our class teacher, Pn Wan Chek, tells them and she gets very upset if they forget that particular thing. That would be so annoying!

Well, anyways, I’m glad I didn’t join because they got tons of scoldings from the teachers! Lucky me!
