Graduation, Hospitalization and Barney VS Joey...
I finally have the time to write something in this blog… well, sort of… I’m doing this in between watching TV, preparing a report and thinking about… well, stuff… so let me fill you in on what’s been happening these past few months.
First up… I’ve GRADUATED! Well, technically I haven’t graduated, but everything is completed… hopefully the only thing left is for convocation. Funnily enough, I don’t feel any different than when I wasn’t graduated. Hahaha… I kinda thought I’d feel a lil bit more… Different? Relieved? Relaxed? Somehow, I just don’t. It just doesn’t feel special. Maybe it’s cuz I know that convocation is about a year away. Or maybe it’s cuz I’ve just enrolled myself into a Master’s course a week after completing the degree. Well, to all the friends who I won’t be seeing for a while, its’ been great knowing you… do keep in touch and try to stay out of trouble. I’m gonna miss all of you and then some. To Afnan, Ja, Bon, Anis, Aine, Nita, Peeps, Izzy, Naja, Nad, Una, Faiza, Sha, Shi, Akram, Alya, Syikin and all the others who I can’t seem to remember right at this moment (sorry… it’s like 1.30 in the morning over here).. THANK YOU for getting me thru this very, very, very difficult time of my life… our lives… hahaha… I really don’t think I could have done it without your support. To the family… I wouldn’t be anywhere without you guys. Ok… I might continue this in the next entry; cuz the amount of things running thru my head right now is just crazy.
Secondly, I just got out of the hospital, which is the first time I got admitted in like 15 years… the nurses were nice, the food was bearable but the experience itself was boring. I’ve always found hospitals boring, but actually being the one stuck in bed was stupendously boring. So what did I do to overcome this overwhelming boringness u might ask… I watched sitcoms all day long of course (four days worth of Two And A Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory)… family and friends made it bearable, though I think I kinda freaked my grandmother out a bit.
So anyways, seeing HIMYM made me think about who would win in a contest for THE BEST CONFIRMED BACHELOR:
o Barney from HIMYM
o Joey from Friends
o Charlie from Two And A Half Men
Of course, after much thought and deliberation, I decided that it would be a head on contest between Barney and Joey cuz Charlie’s in a bit of a rut. So, Ja and I had a lil chat on the subject and this is an excerpt from the conversation:
Ja: it’s a tie btw (in response to my status message: Best Confirmed Bachelor Ever: Joey Vs Barney... Vote NOW!)
Red: well, I think barney pulls ahead by a hair... just cuz he can do magic tricks n wrote the bro code.... trumps Joey’s "how ya doin"
Ja: yeah but Joey can unhook a bra just by looking at it
Ja: that’s gotta count for sumthing
Red: true.... but barney hooked up with a girl in an old guy suit
Ja: she was French… that doesn't count
Red: ok... fine... but having 3 different costumes for Halloweens’ gotta push him over the edge
Red: and, he plays "have u met ted?"
Ja: that’s because he has cool friends
Ja: Joey only has Chandler and Ross
Red: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!... Chandler IS COOL!
Ja: ummm...preeetty sure he's not
Red: dun make me go over there n kill u
Red: and... barney has a cool blog
Ja: that no one reads
Red: lotsa ppl read it... ur just not a true fan
Ja: well I still think it’s’ a tie
Red: ok... tie breaker... 3 coolest things about Joey from u... barney from me
Ja: 1- “how you doin?” 2- popular TV star 3- made out with Rachel
Ja: the 3rd reason should already be more than enuf
Red: 1- Awesomeness 2- wrote the bro code 3- did robin
Ja: robins not hot la dude
Red: she sooooo is.... u need glasses
Ja: even Stella is hotter than robin
Ja: u might wanna check yours instead
Red: Ja... we'll agree to disagree on this
Ja: I already said it was tie
Red: riiighhtttttt
Red: also... he has legen... wait for it..... dairy!
And that’s about the end of the conversation for that night. We did pick it up again the next day when the guys came over to visit, but in the end, we stuck to our guns. Ja still says it’s a tie… I still think Barney’s got a bit of an edge on Joey. Charlie’s a distant third though.
So I guess that will be all for this installment of Red’s Reality Bytes… hopefully, I’ll have some better stuff to write about later on… maybe towards the end of the year. Preview: it’s been a year of ups and downs, lefts and rights, yess and nos, lies and truths… looking forward to it… hahaha…
