A cacophony of events
How ya'll like my new smurf pic on my profile? Smurfs rule, and that's that. I mean, all those smurfs and only 1 smurfette? She must be tired. And Papa smurf must be makin a lot of money. He should change his name to Pimp Daddy smurf. In fact, if u look closely in 50 Cent's P.I.M.P. video, you can see him sitting next to Snoop in the Pimp Legion of Doom meeting scene.
My weekend was great, one of the best I've had in recent times. Nothing fancy, just good company, family, you know, the simple pleasures of life.
No good weekend starts with the sound of an alarm clock. Saturday morning is great because the only wake up call I get is the smell of lunch coming from the kitchen. No stupid alarm clock with a snooze button's that's repeatedly used for half an hour before finally succumbing to the facts of life and hauling my ass off bed.
Saturday afternoon was easy chilling, doing a bit of project work (yes, I still had to do some) and buying a couple of CDs. It's been ages since I bought CDs. Finally got 50 Cent's "The Massacre" and Mariah Carey's "Emancipation of Mimi". Track 7 is pretty interesting. It's called Get Your Number and it samples that 80's track called Illusion, I think. Can't remember by whom.
went to Bangsar at night. I swore off Bangsar ages ago, ever since it turned into a karat, unsafe place to party. This time, however, the plan was to chill with a few drinks at 8ish and be back by 12. Sounded like a plan to me. Some of the more pleasing music is played in the earlier hours and I didn't have to use one of my very limited late night out cards for this outing.
So it was that we went and chilled. 4 indian guys and 1 chinese guy outstandingly dressed in pink. Eventually decided to stay on a bit longer as I was having a decent enough time and I don't go out much anyways. Then at about 1.30 am, Absolut Chemistry turns up it's lights and starts pulling down its shutters. People were still partying the whole situation seemed very dubious to me. They even stopped letting new customers come in. That's when I decided to leave the joint before anything happened.
Went to an aunt's place (she wanted me over to arrange her CD collection), had a Magnum and went to sleep blissfully.
Woke up at about 11 today. Had my usual coffee, followed by a nice homemade lunch of seafood pasta and roast chicken with some cousins who came over. This was followed by tea later with even more food and relatives. Yes, we Punjabis love to eat. In between I got to work on the CD arranging, which wasn't easy as there was a bucketload of CDs to arrange. After a short break in the evening out gung-ho unit of bhais (including 2 honorary ones, my chinese and indian uncles through marriage) headed off to Chili's in Bangsar Shopping Centre for more food and drink. This time the fare was your typical Chili's stuff such as the Triple Play combo and my favorite Cajun Chicken Sandwich, along with generous amounts of margaritas and beer. That concluded my simple yet thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Ahh, that's the life *says that with arms outstretched and smug, contented look on face*
While sorting the aforementioned CDs I came across a few gems which I conveniently sapu-ed. One of the CDs that caught my eye was Cool Relax by Jon B. Up to this point I had only known a couple of songs by Jon B, one of which is the lovely "Someone to Love" with Babyface.
The album cover
So I put the CD on, and man, was I ever glad I did. This is a great album of slow, smooth and sexy R&B. Just the way I like it. The album title pretty much reflects what you can expect to hear. This is one CD which you can just leave on and chill out to. There's even a track with Tupac, which surprised me.
The best way I can describe this album is that this is the kind of CD you want to put on when you've planned a special candlelit, romantic dinner for that special someone and you want to set a romantic, passionate mood that just might lead to more interesting things.
Needless to say this CD is currently in my possesion.
Speaking of great music, a couple of days ago one of the great R&B artistes of our time passed. Luther Vandross never really recovered from a stroke he suffered 2 years ago, and that finally took it's toll on him. He has left us with a legacy of music that spans many years and has inspired many of todays artists such as Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, among others, and his music has been sampled and his tunes borrowed for many of our recent hit songs. His last album, Dance With My Father, was recorded after his stroke and he did so from his wheelchair in the recording studio. That album went on to garner 2 Grammy awards, I think.
Rest in peace...
To end the weekend, I'm gonna end with something that I am quite taken in by. Yes, that distant relative chick from 2 posts ago. Today, while chilling at my aunt's apartment, this happened. My uncle from Penang and his wife were there as well...
Wife: Hey! Do you know *chick's name* ah?
Me: Huh? Yah. How do you know her?
Wife: We met your cousin last night, she told us you met her and her niece.
Me: Yeah, I did. I met them at Mid Valley on Monday.
It had to happen la...
Wife: So...how is she?
Me: Oh, she's a nice girl. Quite cute. But I only spoke to her for 5 minutes.
Wife: So short? But never mind la, relatives what. Can't do anything also.
Me: Uh...
Uncle: No la! 2nd cousins only. No problem la!
Me: ?!!?!?!? *WTF!!!!*
At this juncture something happened that cut the conversation. I can't remember what, but I'm glad it happened.
Dear God, what are the chances?
This chick is from my dad's side, and this uncle and auntie of mine are from my mom's side. What are the chances?
I'm not sure if they were suspicious or just kidding around. But anyways, my dad called just now and let's just say that tomorrow I will be in possesion of a number that will enable me to make contact with her.
Here's the thing: Am I in over my head? Am I acting rashly? Distant relative = possible? What are the answers to these questions? I know she's single because in the course of those 5 minutes I had with her, she told me to bring some "cute friends" along to the big family wedding that's gonna happen in December. Screw that! I'm bringing along 2 of best-darndest-looking, gorgeous hunk friends I have. So it's set: Me, myself and I are the only ones going. I can already see the candlelit dinner with Jon B's Cool Relax soundtracking the evening.

Omigod, its like... Fate or something. After kicking yourself for not getting her number, its now HANDED to you.
Err, actually I requested the number. 3 times. And all 3 times my dad seems to have forgotten. I'm wary of asking again lest I raise suspicion
