I went out Kat the Jinx last night. She was “deported” back to Malaysia because of expired student visa. Now, she is waiting for her visa to be renewed. It was quite a mess because everyone seems to be giving different info.
I took Kat out for a nice local dinner at my usual haunt near Tawakal Hospital – the happening hokkien char and stir fried lala with chilli. It was a good plan as she has cravings for lala for some time.
When we reached the restaurant, I was surprised that it was closed. Never in my entire experience of going to this restaurant had ever met with such disappointment. The worst is usually having to make a few rounds for car park. As long as I could remember, it was never close. Somehow, when I left home yesterday, I have a bad feeling it might not open. The lady owner was very pregnant when I went there in December last year. She probably went to give birth.
Not wanting to disappoint her, I went to my other usual food joint – Lau Heong Seafood restaurant – where the boss told me that the restaurant never closes and runs 365 days a year. That would be a good alternative since lala is on her mind. So, we went to Lau Heong which is just 5 minutes drive away from Tawakal.
Another disappointment, sadly. Of all days, someone within the Lau Heong’s family chose to kick the bucket. They had a funeral ceremony going on when we arrived.
I couldn’t contain my laughter and laughed out loud. Of all days man!!! OF ALL DAYS!!
Kat was not amused. She had a bad day since she was informed that her interview for her visa is scheduled on 26 April when she expected to return to UK within 5 – 10 working days upon submitting her application. And now this?!
I recalled the first time I went to watch a movie with her in KLCC. It was Ever After – the Cinderella Story. Firstly, the movie was delayed for about 30 minutes. When it finally started, 15 minutes down the movie, there was total black out. Everyone in the cinema yelled. Then, a few minutes later, they continued the show. Another 5 minutes later, the show was stalled again. Announcement was made to whether we would like to change to the next slot or go to the movie counter to get refund. LOL. Never in my life, such things happened when I go for movies.
Then I recalled the incident last weekend. Eventhough I suck big time at bowling, I seldom missed the pins (would at least hit 1 pin lah) till she came to say hi. I ended up throwing the ball twice in the ditch back to back. Kat is JINXED!!!!
Another incident was, I asked Kat to get me a book, Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. She put it in a paper bag, on transit via bus to the airport and somehow, someone switched the same paper bag with hers.
Need I say more? LOL.
I am a bit apprehensive of going to Tanjung Sepat with her this weekend. Probably, there would be a tsunami on a hot day? LOL. Kidding!
Despite being a jinx, I assure you, Kat, that I love you just the same.

I know is an old old post but just invited to read it. So funny! I remember very well the story and you guys are still talking about it now! Meanwhile, in the UK I was despairing at the idiot government that I had stupidly voted for, and that had deported my girlfriend “for technical breach of some rule 300 or something”. Lucky no repeat performance so all bad luck spent in one year

Rob: Well, I think the govt you voted for is not as MORONIC as the one compared to us here in Malaysia. It’s really a mine field for the brain to be reading shocking news that might cause brain hemorrhaging everyday. Sad times being a Malaysian.
