RM15 – RM20 a CD is just madness. so i just developed my rolls and got a friend to manually scan hundreds of them in [...]
the year is 1999. it’s hari keusahawanan at school and i meet this adorable trendy thing. her pants are awesome and i tell her so. it’s 2004 and we’re sorting through your clothes ala bundle-style. i feel stylo just like you. we meet under shitty circumstances in 2006 with cuntfaces and cheebyes over vietnamese coffee.
