The Real 11

This whole blog will be about the opening day book launch of the 7th Harry Potter book at kinokuniya...

The whole story began on friday night when Peter aka Zy told me about his plans wit Jeremy to go sort of camping at klcc early in the morning...After getting permission from me parents,we 3 spend few hours of sleeping and left for klcc around 4.40am in the morning...Like i said tis now,tis is "sort of" camping,not those hardcore fans who camp there since last night or afternoon and all...

Well at klcc,the only gate tat will be open at 5.30 was the gate near the fountain,the starbucks all there tat area...As we reach,mostly all were finding good spots to run...It is said tat,the fastest 13 ppl to que up will get free books...so every1 were waiting till the gates were open...As we werent tat early, me zy jeremy and justin werent in pole position of running...And it all began at 5.20,when all of a sudden they just let every1 start running...so it began the havoc...every1 were just rushing,running,pushing their way through to reach the top...

There was a guy whom was in front of me,tripped on a tong sampah and feel quite badly...But as i found space to run,1 side of my flipflops came off...haha since i found the flipflops of mine...i din really care and kept on running...it kinda hurt actualy running of the escalator bare foot...hehe...but it did not hurt at tat time...after running up a few floors...finnaly reaching the 3rd floor ( where the que starts) there were oleady quite a few ppl there...it was hard finding my breath since i was wearing retainer,my mouth felt even drier but i felt kinda dissapointed actualy,having been tat close... i was aint tat far off the first 13... but suddenly the 2 indians in front of me (not being racist =) ) started complaning saying tat the first 10 or something din run at all and had a head start or some crap...but after getting my breath i realise as well..the first 2 were small little brads,how in the world can we all lose to small brads like them...plus there was 1 old lady,wearing high heels and carrying a kind big stuff beg,i dun believe a old lady can out run me till tat extend...so the complaning kept on going,saying about the previous book...

After complaning after some thime, 1 of the workers there ask us to write down our name for the first 13 ppl tat ran up from the beginning...and it tis lucky day of mine,i was amazingly number 11 ( cool rite =P ) well daniel (5A) was number 2, joseph was number 8 or something,the other i duno who are they...the 2 indians in front of me did not stop complaining,a few of them even complain to 2 or 3 reporters about tis whole thing...well no action were taken at tat moment...the 2 small brads were still 1st and 2nd,and were boo-ed by us when they pose in front of camera b4 entering the store...when we all entered,the manager ask us to chill and will settle wit us later...but sadly to say,a few of the ppl still made a big scene complaning and all... Well at 7.01,they launched the harry potter book,some gurl was dam happy to be the first at the counter paying for the book * syok sendiri* after waiting a while,the manager decided to come and settle the matter wit us,jeremy by the way went to collect his pre-order books and peter was wit me the whole time...(sorry nvr mention any of u for so long liao )...hahaha...

SO the manager went into the office or something,and we waited outside the door...she came out wit the list tat we wrote our names on...and slowly she tick our name and gave us our book...each of us got 1....i was actualy shock tat i manage to get a free book...its like never will i believe i can be top 13...well was over joy with getting the book, din really care bout my slippers tat was missing 1 side...my leg was hurting quite bad,my heel...after joseph and i got our books...jeremy got his pre order books...we met up wit justin who was outside and decide to go home...

I decided to try my luck and go search for my slippers tat was missing at the 1st floor...when i went there,no slippers were to be found...but a mak cik cleaner was there, so i ask her if she seen a sliipper...it turns out,she has magic of her own...reaching into her hat and took out my long lost slipper... * hehe actualy the hat is a tong sampah lah,bullshyting only * well thank u mak cik,u make my day even more...hehe...

So everything turn out good for all of us...thankx jeremy,zy,justin for bringing me along....thankx the 2 indian bros tat help non stop complaning...thanx to mak cik tat got bak my slippers...hehe... guess i beat all the odds,wearing flip flops,a cap,shorts and a jacket running up and getting 11 spot...the REAL 11 spot...

Thats all for now...u wanna know who die,ask me =)
