She speaks. Or rather, she writes.

so we headed of to someplace today.. im not the best person when it comes to remembering names (unless its a cute guy involved.. hahaha.. i will ALWAYS remember matthew thomas)

nways.. we all take the bus.. 21 of us n curtis.. (jeff at the last minute finds an ‘errand’ tat needs to be settled..) hahaha dont blame him.. no way id take the bus if i had my own car..

when we get there me n icky head straight for the guns n had the salesperson hand over guns so we cud get pics wif them. N while we there there was this mother- son pair getting a gun.. N blessing of all that is holy.. THEY LOOKED HAPPY!!! you wud think that gettin a gun is serious business.. especially if ur getting it for .. say.. protection.. but NOOoooo.. they looked like they were shopping for a pair of jeans with the silly smiles n joking around..

that really gave a harsh realization on just how the on- the- edge life in america is.. n tis is just springfield, a kampong-ish area much like parit raja.. wat more in places like chicago??!?
guns have become so much a part of their daily lives that the salesperson was taken aback when i asked him why wud ppl own guns.. and i guess they were pretty amused at how appalled i was when i learnt how easy it was to purchase a gun. i mean, ive read bout it before, but to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth was a bit disconcerting..
N to think in malaysia only a selected few EVER get to hold a gun, much less shoot from one..

then we went to the wildlife rooms and saw stuffed animals contorted in a way that amplifies their best qualities. picture taking haven for crazy ppl like us =)

heres a classic… HAHAHAHA.. salwa really pulls it off!

n icky bonds well wif the deer.. HAHAHHAHAHA

we also met a guy who’s Apache, n he sung a song for us in one of the 500 languages they have (he speaks 47 of them)..

later we went to see the real animals.. the normal stuff u do when u visit new places. learnt a lot about hunting deers (useless information i know, but hey..) n elk’s horns (dont ask why elks).. n a bunch of other useless information that u just carry around in ur head to use during awkward moments at parties when everyone is quiet.. like, for instance, did u know, pumas, cougars, wildcat and panthers are different names for the same animal?? and the fact that wolves, contrary to popular belief, DO NOT eat humans?? hahahaha.. i must be pretty desperate when i blurt all these facts at parties..

later at nite watched old school the movie in a theather like room. no matter how boring an activity it may be, it becomes fun wif the ppl ur wif… im beginning to realise tat now.. til later
