Ne-Yo's freakin' AWESOME!!!
Got these photos from here
Didn't bring camera, because of a few reasons
But I think I have more fun in concerts without a camera
It's such a fuss
We got not bad tickets so we were considerably close to the stage lah
After all it's not held in a huge stadium, just the Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach so it was nice :)))

Anyway, it was S-M-A-S-H-I-N-G!!!
In my opinion, it's better than Rain's, and almost on par with Gwen Stefani's concert
Céline Dion still wins hands down though
Don't think anyone can beat her
Followed by Christina Aguilera
More pictures from Sheryl soon!
(She took most the pictures (of us. Haha!), and videos of Ne-Yo)

I've had the suckiest luck ever these past few days
On the 30th of December, I fell down at Mahkota Parade (seriously, of all places!), sprained my right elbow, the pain eventually spread to my wrist and upper arm within one day
Then on the 1st, I slipped and nearly fell at Sheryl's barbeque, the reason why I nearly took a fall is because I managed to hold on to myself with my right big toe
My toe hurt like mad :(
On the second, I went for paintball with Camie, Aaron, Sheryl, Hooi Tzing, Shriram, Derek, Ai Fang, Marianne, Jason, Su Anne and Kenny
I was walking (and looking down) and I hit Sheryl's car bonnet
So now I have this humongous bump at the top of my head
Luckily it not at my forehead, or else I would look like a stupid flowerhorn fish
I can't even touch the bump without feeling any pain :(((
Then my left leg got shot by don't know whose paintballs (no one knows who shot who anyway), three paintballs consecutively!
Here's how it happened (I know I can't draw to save my life)

Well, this one memang expected lah, I just left my leg hanging there for people to shoot
So bodoh lah my stupid leg
So now I got three spots of blue blacks on my left leg, how to attend my cousin's engagement this Saturday!?
In a knee length dress some more! :(
But it was superbly fun though :)))
Paintball, I mean
I wanna go again soon, but not to play every single game lah
So tiring
Can die man my thighs, pain like what only
Oh, I got hit somewhere at my back, as well
Don't know how it happened but I thought someone tapped me on my back only, took me few seconds to realised I just got shot -.-

And just now, a stack of books fell on my left foot

I. Feel. Like. The. Stupidest. Thing. Ever.

2009-12-14T00:20:00.006+08:00

Was at Pavilion the other day
And I thought the Christmas deco was extraordinarily grand!

The length of the red drape is like, three floors long!

Oh and I dropped by Jusco just now with Laura, bought two more goggles in addition to my one and only pair of goggles that is, well, not lost
Don't know how lah but we keep losing our goggles
I think we lost like four pairs already in the span of two or three years
We are very sure that they are all somewhere in the house, but don't know where -.-
So it took us a while to choose because they are so not cheap and we wanted black goggles only
And we forgot to bring our J Card
As you know, if you forget your J Card, you have to pay one buck if you park at the parking bay for more than one hour
Look at this!
Heehee

And you know what?
I drove back home with the car lights off
People were honking and I thought they were honking at other people
I only realised it after I was reaching home!

I know all these are SO not blog-worthy
But I got nothing to blog about lah
Malacca is awesome as usual :)))
Oh except the fact that my whole body is aching after this super extremely tiring session of badminton with Derek
He tortured me like MAD!
(I dare to talk bad behind him because he does not read my blog HAH!)

21 on the 21st!

2009-11-22T23:17:00.010+08:00

I have always wanted to say that =)
At first I did not want to have any celebration, because I was thinking it's just another birthday like any other year
My dad took days while my mom took months to convince me to have a tiny party, with just my closest friends
Two or three days before the 21st, I agreed to it after thinking real hard about it

Thank heavens I listened to my parents
Because I had a blast last night celebrating my 21st birthday with 11 of my closest friends (that I could get hold of)
My day started off really early, I went around buying stuff with my entire family (I feel so bad that my sisters had to get up early too, just because it's a family thing)
Then we reached home and started cooking
I did most of the cleaning and chopping, while my sisters and mom did the cooking
Then my dad and I went to Klebang to buy mussels for the barbecue
I told the pak cik that it's my birthday so he gave me five hundred grams extra :)))
Anyway at the very very last minute, Mei Chi and Siew Wen both couldn't make it :(
I was pretty upset about it because they mean really a lot to me

Anyway, pictures time!

Sheryl (who came all the way from Cyberjaya with her boyfriend just for my little party!!), Camie and Wee Kiat

Zachary, Desmond, Sara (whom I had not meet up with for ages! how I've missed you Sa!) and Siew Geok

Greg (who was somewhat a surprise guest of the evening, as he told Ai Fang and I that there's a family wedding to attend on the day of my birthday, but he made it for my birthday instead!) and my sister Clara's friend, Wen Xuan (she got me the sweetest gift! despite me asking all my sisters' friends not to get me anything)

Then Ai Fang came...

And she started hugging everyone she knows in sight

Just look at that woman...

Hahaha I love her so much
You can never get bored when you are with her

Sheryl's boyfriend, Aaron

And Greg
Both guys helped so so so much with the barbecuing (and stopped us from turning the food black)

Clara and her adorable friends (spot the Scarlett Johansson lookalike)

Then I took out my CDs collection to give to my friends because I don't listen to CDs anymore

And here comes my piteously small "brithday" cake
(I just realised the mistake when I was watching 500 Days of Summer and eating the cake with my sisters this afternoon)

My mom could not get a bigger size cake because it was so last minute
But it was really delicious!

Anyway this is probably my favourite picture of the day
Because only half of my face can be seen hahah

And this is me asking everyone to hurry up so they could quit staring at me
Thus the moving hands!

My family (esp my mom) who made sure everything was perfect for me

My friends who made my day totally awesome!
(I hate it when I put my hands like that! grrrrr...)

One of my favourite people to be around with - Ai Fang!

My mom, the most awesomest person on earth (except when she's angry at me)

After that I went to Pure Bar with Camie, Sheryl, Ai Fang, Desmond, Zachary, Greg and Aaron because we could not think of anywhere else to go to stare at people haha
And Greg paid for every one's drink (thankewww very much, Crackery!)

Overall I had a fantabulous birthday!
Not because of the really great and sweet gifts I received, it's really the company that counts
I have been so blessed with friendships that has lasted for so long, and yet, miraculously, they still love me for who I truly am
I couldn't have asked for more
So thank you guys for cominggggg!

A short short update
Laptop battery dying

Few days ago I went to Dataran Pahlawan with my mom and sisters
While at Daiso, I saw a strangely familiar guy
I looked at him, long enough to realise that he's a Singaporean actor!!
Holy schmoly!
I ran to Clara and asked her to see
She was so excited then I asked her, what's his name
She had no idea either
But we both knew he's acts in a few Mediacorp dramas though
By the time we reach my mom's side to ask her about his name, he was somewhere else already
We tried finding him and then spotted him from afar, he was sitting in a restaurant with his family (with a few old people some more)
So we made my mom to go over to take a good look at him
She did and she came back telling us there's a actress there with him too, possibly his wife
I wanted to take a picture with them
But since we knew nothing about him accept being an actor
We had no idea how to ask him for a photo op
And Laura was so embarrassed to have Clara and I as her sisters, she walked away from us, as far as possible that sort haha
She was all "no eye see" when Clara and I were giggling to think of ways to get a photo with them without admitting not knowing their names
When we got near enough, we were so shy we hid behind a pillar -.-
I was panicking and not knowing what to do and all and so many possibilities were running in my head
What if they are not actors at all?!
Our Plan B was to say hi and if it turns out that we got mistaken and that they are not actors, we would ask for the direction to go McDonald's instead
I think it took us half an hour from the first time we first laid eyes on the husband in Daiso to actually get the guts to talk to them
And tah dah

This totally made Clara's day
She could not stop talking about it man haha
On the other hand, Laura was so ashamed of having us as sisters, she kept her distance from us, like 20 meters away at least for the entire day haha
Oh before leaving that floor (the Daiso/FOS floor), the actress waved back at me after I waved goodbye to her
So nice right!

2009-11-07T01:13:00.002+08:00

This piano player cracks me up man

Anyway, life has been okay
Could be better
But I shouldn't ask for more
Because when one good thing comes, two bad things follow suit

Anyway, I am going to JB later this afternoon to celebrate my grandma's birthday
And it's Ju Cia's birthday today
So we might be celebrating both together
Fun times ahead!

2009-10-26T16:02:00.001+08:00

Guess who I met on Sundaaaay?
Sarina Sundara Rajah!

Here's what happened
My aunt wanted to go groceries shopping at Tropicana City
So I followed her along since I had nothing to do
At first I wanted to follow her to Carrefour just in case someone plans to kidnap her or something (haha just kidding!)
I just wanted to follow her lah
But in the end she asked me to go walk by myself
I did and then I heard this weird music, it's totally not my kind of music eff why aye
But something just made me walk towards the direction of the music
When I saw what the music was all about, I had goosebumps
I saw this!

I was so so freakin' excited!

I saw SRGC sign at the stage, and I knew Sarina Sundara Rajah could somewhat be involved in this
I don't know why or how, but I just knew
I had never seen SRGC before, nor had I heard of it
Seriously it was so weird
I was at a shop with darn cheap clothes and I chose to walk towards some weird music
So not me

I started scanning through the crowd
AND I SAW SARINA SUNDARA RAJAH!!!
Oh my gosh
I walked towards her direction hoping to be able to talk to her
By the time I reached the place where I saw her standing at, I couldn't find her
Then a woman next to me tapped on a lady's shoulder who was sitting in front of me
She turned around and there she was!
My heart stopped beating for a while I swear
Both of them started talking and she seemed so busy and all
By the time they finished talking, she stood up and went to the mat where the little rhythmic gymnasts were at
I was like, Darn!
I waited for a while hoping she would return, but she did not

Then I saw this little girl, so so so cuuuuuute!

I knew my aunt was about to finish her shopping so I went to the nearby information counter to ask for a piece of pen and paper
To write her a note of course (I know I sound creepy), since I did not have time to talk to her
I wrote a few sentences (okay maybe more than a few) and then I gave it to her
I was so excited and happy to be able to finally meet her face to face

See see!

I talked to her a little and she thanked me and she hugged me!
She's so so nice I tell you!
After that, I had to leave and she seemed really busy, then she hugged me again!
She made my day man seriously

2009-10-21T14:31:00.004+08:00

I miss my niece and nephew!
Here are some photos my cousin Pamela posted up on her Facebook
Aaaaah so cute!

She's so big already!

Pamela: Courtesy of Ciarra and we were told to pose holding hands and touching rocks

Bet it's one of Ciarra's weird ideas
I can imagine her saying "touch the rocks!"

Our little Isaiah!

Pamela: Ciarra teaching Grand Uncle Daniel how to do yoga

If only Sunway Pyramid has that red thing, I would not have fallen on my bum and had to wait for the guard to come to my rescue

Look ma, no hands!
I can't believe she can skate now
And I still can't

Awww look at Isaiah!
So adorable!

And my cousin got featured in a magazine!

Little to Lethal wey!

2009-10-18T23:31:00.002+08:00

I truly think there is nothing to do with luck

2009-10-15T14:30:00.001+08:00

When life throws you an opportunity to go sailing, you make nothing out of it
Darn it I hate my life so much right now
Intan, my LLS group mate last semester, posted this

How can you say no to that?
Seriously I am so mad I can hardly describe the feeling
It's like so near and yet so far

You see, I called my dad and asked him if I could go for it or not
He said no, like straight away without even a blink of an eye!!
Grrrrrrrrrrr...
So angry
Then I called my mom
I thought my mom would totally cut me some slack
(I try my best to make her feel guilty for not letting me go for that toss-toss-thing-in-Singapore-which-I-have-no-idea-what-it-is-called ride few years ago, every time she stops me from doing something "dangerous")
But she was like, okay anything, but then ended with, "but better ask your dad"
I was like -.-
A bit the pointless right?
I told her dad said no, then she went monotonously and said, "but I remember you cannot touch water this year right, according to that temple lady?"
Aaaahhhh I wanna die
I guess I have to stick to handsometizer, I mean hand sanitizer til next year then

2009-10-13T23:59:00.002+08:00

Today Christine and I decided to skip graphic design lecture (not like we learn anything there, only the tutorial classes are important)
The last time we went, we had to draw our names exactly like the fonts given to us, more than half of the class did not complete the task, instead, we sneaked out minutes before the classes ended heehee
So anyway, we decided to join Emmy, Leanna, Wei Lian, Calvin, Eddy and Hamid the Persian for sushi at Sushi King
Before reaching Ikano, I dragged Christine to Media Prima to collect some prizes I won from 8TV Quickie :)
We talked to the producer there (I didn't believe him when he said he's the producer at first, and I told him that) and he asked us to go for the 8TV Quickie host audition next Saturday!

So after Media Prima, Christine the Crispy made me walk 15 minutes to get something "she's been wanting for a long long time"
"Saaaaan, I know you're gonna be mad at me if you see what I'm getting later", she kept saying that
I thought it's probably a dress or something of that sort she's been eyeing on for ages
Mana tahu...
After making me walk so darn far (from Ikano to Curve), she went and got this

Yeah who wouldn't have killed her on the spot right?

Then we finally managed to reach Sushi King after making the rest wait for us for ages
We sat down and it was like Christmas/Hungry Ghost Festival came early
I swear everyone near us was staring at us
We had trouble hiding our enthusiasm, you see
We were so excited with the 2 bucks promotion!

Here's our first round

And the second round

And this is my favourite!
Scallops! yummm
So juicy and yummeh

After one hour (and a few minutes), we had to leave
So the guy who came to count our bill and the remaining plates (which I did not manage to get a picture of) saw some leftovers of the rice that we could not finish, he went like "so those plates I count normal price okay?"
We looked at each other, and went, "okay okay we finish we finish!!"
And let me tell you, those were SO not the blue plates okay
The chefs (do you call them chefs?) were laughing at us like we're a bunch of kids being forced to finish our food

But being the smart kids that we have always been, managed to stuff some rice into Christine's jack fruit plastic bag while eating the sushis:)

At first she planned to use the rice for a rice ball fight after Sushi King
Dunno why it didn't happen though haha
So the bag of rice went straight into Others :(
Honestly, we felt very guilty about it
Really
Cross my heart

Outside a waxing salon :)

Gorilla and the Persian

Oh then we went to McD's for dessert and found a stack of complimentary MYC magazines and then I saw Ren Shen in it!
Hahaha well he looks better in the magazine compared to the kemek-ed online version though
Anyway, vote for him everyday okay
He's gonna kiss my feet when he sees me

Basically the magazine's extremely entertaining for us Mass Comm students
The contestants' slogans are highly interesting, with all the English that they use
Whoaaa...
One of a kind man

When we were at Ikano's Vincci, I thought of Melanie :(
Because few months ago, she was there with Christine and I
Trying on shoes after shoes
I miss her so much :(

Then while walking back to the cars, we saw this

Guess what I thought at first?

The girl's name looks as though it's Acne Tan Kim May
Poor thing

2009-10-10T23:25:00.002+08:00

Glee is The Show of the year, hands down
Imagine - High School Musical, but 1000 times better

There are a few familiar faces, especially from Heroes

Remember Charlie?
Hiro's ill-fated love interest :(

In Glee, Jayma Mays plays a counsellor who is a mysophobe, very much like me actually haha
She reminds me slightly of Bree van de Kamp, but much more of an extremist when it comes to cleanliness
She's my favourite character because she has the cutest reactions while doing her hand dance :)

Here's Jessalyn Gilsig
In Heroes, she's Meredith Gordon, Claire's biological mother (not that old one, the old and adoptive mother's name is Sandra)
I don't really like her character in Glee though
But she's really pretty

And here's Stephen Tobolowsky!
In Heroes, he turns (more like turned) things into gold literally and he's also Elle's dad
Surely he's not that forgetable, right?
Anyway, in Glee, he is Sandy Ryerson (funny how unisex "Sandy" can be), a really quirky and offbeat teacher(?)
A total opposite of his character in Heroes

Doesn't she look familiar?
Her name is Dianna Agron
She was the head cheerleader, Debbie Marshall in Heroes, who thought Claire got killed but when she was found alive, the police though she was hallucinating (and drunk)
Haha that was quite a funny scene
And now, also a cheerleader, in Glee

The ever famous Victor Garber is in Glee as well!
He's the Glee Club's teacher advisor's father

Hmmm I can't wait for next Wednesday!

Anyway, on a total irrelevant thing, this is so funny!

2009-10-05T23:31:00.004+08:00

After Media Management class, Christine, Aimi, Yen Ling and I went to the Hot Chocolate Cafe
We waited for almost half an hour and I decided to text Naomi from Channel V to ask for Mei Ann's number (I know right, so irrelevant! But she's the only person I know that could help me, and what if Mei Ann Facebook message me last minute that she cannot make it right? I was also afraid that there might be another Hot Chocolate Cafe, somewhere out there)
But she gave me HOT's office number instead
So never mind, I called HOT and Mei Ann was like coming coming
But five minutes later, no sign of her
I was panicking like mad
I mean, I dragged 3 people to an unknown place and what if everything tak jadi right?
A while later Christine walked over to the next shop and guess what?
HOT is right beside the Hot Chocolate Cafe!
Kek dou mou seng chut
Anyway, we went over to their surprisingly small office and took turns to ask her a list of questions we compiled earlier
She was so so nice I tell you, answered all our questions and kept going "bring it on"
But many times we kind of swayed off topic
Like talking about our favourite shows and celebrities haha
We basically talked for two hours, more or less, probably more though
But we four had so much fun talking to her we sorta lost track of time
Here's the four of us with Mei Ann

I like this picture because Aimi flipped the magazine to the wrong side hahaha!! so funny

After that

So nice right!

Tomorrow we are off to interview Female's Aster Lim
Let's hope she's as nice too

2009-09-30T23:11:00.006+08:00

I am so so so happy now I can hardly contain myself
I wanted to tell this first hand to Christine but that woman is not online so I can only pour everything out to my blog

So we have this assignment for Media Management class
We are supposed to interview a media organization and come up with 20 pages (!!!) of words!
Anyway at first Christine thought of doing BluInc (a company with Marie Claire, Female, Seventeen, NuYou under it's big big umbrella)
So she asked her church friend and got the editor of Female's contact
But to make an appointment with them took longer than we ever expected
And the assignment is due 9th of October!
So this morning, I Facebook messaged Mei Ann (HOT Magazine's editor), Naomi (Channel V's someone someone haha) and Joanne (Sony BMG's someone)
Then after that I went for a talk organized by my lecturer
Hours later, I went to the computer lab and saw Mei Ann and Naomi's replies
They replied within an hour after I messaged them!
And their replies are so so sweet and nice!
Joanne has yet to reply me though
I don't think she's much of a Facebook fanatic compared to the other two, judging by their active-ness on their profiles
Anyway after Graphic Design, I went to Bangsar with Ashreena and Christine
Had an early dinner at Devi's (yummm!) and went to Cat's Whiskers and stayed there for God knows how long
We tried so many clothes it's impossible to count
But!
I got better things to blog about than to post up pictures of clothes I tried on
I am sure no one is interested in that anyway
FYI, they made me buy a dress (which I was reluctant to take off while in the fitting room, and I came back to the house and tried it on again and it took me a while to take it off to go to bathe)
So after that I commented on Mei Ann's status and here is the rest of it

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!
I am so happy now I can't believe it!

But now we have secured two media organizations to interview pula
BluInc and HOT
Oh well...
At least we get to do fun things!

2009-09-28T22:29:00.003+08:00

I miss kuey tiao kia
Many Malaccans don't know what it is though
But it's my favourite must-eat when I go JB =)
Yummmm

The soup drives me go crazy!
It's super delicious!!

Not much of a tau fu fan, but normally I just eat them anyway

The eggs are the normal "lou dan" we normally eat
But everything just tastes extra special when you are in a kuey tiao kia shop

Lean meat!

Ooooooh this is yummeh
I am sure many of you know what this is

There are much more than the dishes I have posted
We weren't having a huge appetite the last time we went there
More pictures next time =)

I bet you just know which "empty" bowl's mine hahaha

2009-09-23T23:45:00.001+08:00

My whole family went down to JB last Sunday to visit my grandmother
She's getting better I guess, with much help from morphine

The Chongs joined us for dinner!

Baby Ella and Ju Lea's countless gorgeous headbands!

The uncles trying on Clara's cubes

My grandma and uncle

Then we played with lanterns!

Cousin Jamie and soon-to-be fiancé =)

Joel

With Anson

Ju Lea and Ju Cia

All of us, minus my mom

Then we walked over to a nearby basketball court and lighted up the place with our candles

Testing with my camera heehee

Then we played basketball

While Ju Cia played with wax (she's cuckoo nuts I tell you!)

Yvonne and Judy

Then the dudes tried to slam dunk

With some help of course haha

It was a really fun night overall =)

2009-09-12T12:15:00.002+08:00

Last night my family went to Jonker Street
I was walking with my sister (forgot which) and my mom
Then we saw a lamp that looks exactly like this

Without giving much thought, I tried pushing the thingie up and down
My mom was like "Sandra! don't touch lah!!"
I wasn't thinking about the fact that the thingie's actually the thingie
I mean, I had seen this lamp before but never tried touching
But I should have recorded my mom's face when she saw me pushing that thing

2009-08-31T19:46:00.004+08:00

Been wanting to blog about this for ages but it took me too long to upload the photos into Photobucket
Anyway, weeks ago, Derek was talking to me about alcohol and how yummy cocktails are
So I agreed to his idea of a cocktail tasting night, specially for me, I honestly thought he was just kidding
Weeks later, he texted Hooi Tzing, Yi En and I to go ingredients shopping the next day at 10 in the morning for the cocktails stuff
I swear I set my alarm for 9.30am but I woke up at 10am instead, so by the time I reach Derek's house, it was already 10.30am and everyone had to wait for me
So we went Jusco and Yi En bought Kahlua and I paid for the fruits and etc lah
Then we had our lunch at Ong Kim Wee
I don't even know why am I writing all these useless stuff
Let's get on to the photos shall we?
(By the way, no photos of drunk people hah because none of us got drunk!)

Then we played Truth or Dare

And Fleur got dared to press some neighbour's door bell, at 12am

On a totally irrelevant matter, here's a photo I took at Derek's house

Cantik leh

2009-08-28T13:10:00.003+08:00

This is how I overplay my songs
But it's actually more than that
I restored my iTunes on the 19th of August so yeah :)

2009-08-27T00:00:00.001+08:00

A year ago, my dearly beloved aunt passed away
Seriously, I still find it hard to believe she is not here anymore

Weeks before she was admitted to the hospital, she gave me a call and talked to me for a while
I was reading the dictionary (given by her years ago), university life had yet to start at that time
So while talking to her, I simply grabbed the nearest thing I could reach - my hair bands, to put inside the dictionary, as some sort of a book mark
Since then, I have not been using much of that dictionary, not for light reading purposes anyway
Only for that few occasional flips to find words I do not know
I have always known that the hair bands are still in it
Even when I need hair bands urgently, I will never take the hair bands out
Because it just reminds me of that day, when she was still talking to me, giving me advices on life, like how she used to
Few weeks later, she lost her battle to cancer

Here is something another very dearly loved aunt wrote which touched my heart

"A journey embarked on an adventure with God, she walked closed with God and had a meaningful relationship with God. She grew in the Lord and experienced God in her life. How blessed is to know God and walk with God all the days of our lives. As she battled over cancer she remained faithful and trusted God to the end, from the sweet communion with God her face shone. God was her refuge and source of strength. It is sister's 1st anniversary and can’t forget her goodness, kindness,care, sacrificial love, humble, always giving without expecting anything in return, having a listening ear and she was frugal, I could go on and on and you are my witness to her life. She has impacted many lives. She will always have a special place in our hearts and never be forgotten. We love her much and still miss her."

2009-08-25T16:35:00.005+08:00

Coffee is so freakin' amazing!
Now I know why are some people addicted to it
Before this, I thought people just like to torture themselves with the bitter drink
Or maybe the aroma of it is so great and awesome that they don't mind drinking coffee, just so they could experience the soothing aroma caressing their nasal passages
Anyway, I attended the first day of classes (of my second year) on Monday morning, had a two hours break, and went for the next class at 12pm
For lunch, I had a plate of rice and some fillet thingo (which I thought was marmite chicken -.-)

And 7 little bowls of soup at Mama's Kitchen (Mel's favourite place!! - I was missing you so much while at there Mel!) because I am a soup person lar overall
By 12.30pm, I was yawning away and I couldn't help myself from dozing off every now and then
The funny thing was, I was so tired I did not know I actually fell asleep in class!
Wei Lian and the gang told me then only I got to know about it (but I knew I was dozing off a bit here and there lar)
And they do this imitation of my sleeping style with every chance they get
I bet they enjoy it very much
So today, we had another 8am class in the morning, and we went to McD's for brunch after that, I bought the breakfast thingie, a little burger with a cup of coffee/tea
I chose tea
After finishing the cup of tea, I refilled the cup with coffee, just because I wanted to make full use of the RM 4.20 that I paid :)
Since I hate the taste of bitter coffee, I added in four packets of sugar, and two packets of creamer
Without realising it, I finished the entire cup of coffee!
I felt so so proud of myself
Because before this I only took sips of coffee for the sake of trying out
Then I went to the class which I fell asleep the day before and listened intently
So intent that I was super amazed with myself
Then my mom called and told me that her eye kept blinking and she was afraid something bad might happen to me so she asked me to be extra careful and it would be safer if I don't walk back to the rented house by myself
I asked around for friends with cars to send me back at 6pm but...
Those who have cars planned to go home at 4pm, those who have the same classes as me do not have cars
So I skipped the 4pm to 6pm class in the end and Wei Lian sent me back to the house (at first I lied to her my house is in Kajang, since it's the furthest place I could think of at that moment. after that I told her my house is next to HELP, I suppose she did not hear it clearly or something so she kept thinking my house is really at Kajang, and she was actually okay about sending me to Kajang! so nice right that little girl?!)
Anyway, after that class, I went to the 2pm class and I was so awake that I gave my complete attention to the lecturer
As he kept talking, I kept jotting down notes
I was so alive!!
I called my mom and told her about what the magical abilities of coffee did to me, she warned me not to get addicted
I will try not to, but since I have 4 classes on Tuesdays, I might just have no choice but to drink coffee every Tuesday! heehee!

I am seriously considering coming back to Malacca every Wednesday
Imagine, the amount of time with my family!
The amount of money saved on rent!

I'm sorta looking forward to my second year
Basically I'm looking forward to the working world I think
I wanna start earning my own money
I know people tend to say studying is 837483294 times better than working
Maybe I'm just the weird one lah

Plus I have the illegal stall place to look forward to!
(I'm just being optimistic about the illegal stall thing)

And I can make fun of more people like Cripy Creme!

2009-08-19T21:36:00.001+08:00

During lunch today, I was sitting next to my sisters, watching a documentary on elephants on Animal Planet
Suddenly, Laura turned to me and said "Jie, do you know that Mr. Tan Teck Joo passed away already?"
It took a while for the reality of losing a very dear teacher to sink in
I shouted "WHAAAT!!!", really loudly, both my sisters blinked the moment they saw my reaction to the news
Apparently he passed away on Monday, due to nose cancer
Mr. Tan was never one of the really far-famed teachers in St. David's
Unlike the ever popular and dearly loved Puan Susan Koh who taught us English; Mr. Sasi who will always be the boys' favourite PJ teacher for his coolness; Puan Tan Siow Pin who is probably the most lenient Moral teacher in the school
Or even the teachers who were famous for mostly the wrong reasons like Mr. Low Sin Kee who taught the afternoon session Form One students Geography way back in 2001 (I still remember how he used to sit on our desks); Miss Shik Geok Keng who taunted the girls at every chance she could get; Puan Low (née Neo) our Chemistry teacher who probably has the most nicknames given by the students of St. David's; Miss Hei who constantly picks her favourite students here and there; Miss Nellie Wee who drove the students cuckoo nuts (I remember oh so vividly when the boys in our class used to pray day and night that she would retire earlier, well believe it or not, she is retired!) or even the ever infamous Puan Ho Yin Peng who still feed the students with her daily "interesting jokes"
Mr. Tan Teck Joo was the subdued one who did his job properly without any complains from the students
He was the one with the nice wife (unlike poor Mr. Michael Chong who probably has to listen to his wife's stories all the time) and pretty little daughter
Mr. Tan and his wife were like, the Brad and Angelina?
Not the whole saving the world thing, but the perfect couple thing
One thing though, I did not do a very good job as his student
He was very lenient, and I was always seated at the front of the class (all the freakin' time!), and since he pitied me that I had to go to tuition up til 9pm without even getting home since early in the morning, he let me sleep in his class!
And yet he wondered if I could pass my PMR Math (the subject he taught me)
Months later, I told him I got an A for Math, you should have seen his reaction, he was clearly surprised
Since I did almost none of the homework that he gave, and listened close to less than 20% of what he explained in class
But still, if there's one thing I could remember him by, would be his compassion and dedication towards his students
Anyway, I just updated St. David's Wikipedia on School Captains, starting from our year (Ching Yang) onwards

With the help of Laura of course =)

Update: Guess what magik Miss Shik did again? She just forced my sister to bring back some CPU that contains stuff on the school magazine, and she was like, "I want it by today!!", which is super typical of her really. So my sister asked my dad for help and drove her everywhere til she managed to get hold of the CPU. My sister went back to school and Miss Shik gave that typical smile of hers that we all know very well and went like, "Waah... you brought it back ah!". Seriously she makes me want to get married

2009-08-11T01:13:00.003+08:00

You know how some people can get so addicted to a certain Facebook application/game that they play every single day?
Well my mom is
And not forgetting both my sisters too
They are all crazy about Farmville
I was never in the mood to blog about this but I did their "farm work" this whole day, I decided it's now or never that I blog about it
So anyway, this morning I woke up and my sister was grinning at me from ear to ear waiting for me key in my password for my laptop so she could use to play her Farmville
The whole thing about this "game" is that you harvest whatever you planted previously
Then you plow the farm
Then you plant whatever seeds you want to
Besides that, you have farm animals too!
Like hens that lay eggs for you and then you collect the eggs from each hen and sell
There are cows too, for you to milk them
And when you earn enough money, you get to expand your farm and build a farm house
(I am talking as though I know so much, and yet I don't play them. Oh wait, I DO play... for my sisters and my mom -.-)
The most frustrating thing about this is that you have to click one square at a time for the harvesting, the plowing and the planting
And now that my youngest sister got shoo-ed up to her room to sleep, I have to continue whatever she left off
Or else they rugi
Rugi in what sense, I have no idea
Besides hogging my "slow" laptop day and night
My mom and my sisters take turns to "play" with my friends who message me on MSN
The latest victim's Kane
He asked "me" for a nice hairstyle, but ended up receiving hair advices from my mom instead
The funniest thing is that he did not believe my mom when she said he's not talking to Sandra, but "Sandra's Mom" instead

Oh well, if I need to off the laptop now and go to sleep, I have to complete planting rice for both my sisters (and my mom, because she forgot to plant before going to sleep)

2009-08-07T20:45:00.002+08:00

My family and I celebrated my younger sister's birthday at the Portuguese Settlement last Saturday
These were the stuff we had for dinner

Fried noodles - 7/10

I'm not a fish person but my sister is, she gives the ikan bakar 8/10

Salted crabs (I think) - 8.5/10

Before

After =)

I-don't-know-what-it's-called - 9/10

I-think-it's-called-lala - 10/10!!

Before

After
I-have-no-idea-what-it-is-either - 1/10
Tasteless eh

But then we did not get to eat the king crabs

And this funny big thing

Mel, when you come visit me in Malacca, I bring you go makan
I missing eating with you!

2009-08-03T20:45:00.002+08:00

Around a month ago, when Chia Yeow was plotting her surprise visit back home with me, she came up with an idea, to celebrate all our 21st birthdays in one day, since most of us won't be in Malacca to celebrate together on our actual birthdays
Then out of a sudden, Chia Yeow told us that she's going back to Queensland a week earlier than planned and that our 21st birthday has to be held, as soon as possible!
And she told me about it on the day of the low tea itself
At 8.15am to be exact haha
The moment I read the text message, I jumped out of my bed and panicked like mad wondering what on earth should I bring to the party as it's a pot luck kinda thing you see
I searched through recipe sites and decided to do something simple - shortbread
But I took so long to find the okay looking recipe, I was almost late for the low tea!

I tried using my hand to make into shapes but it's too sticky to piak them to the cookie sheets
So...
I used a nozzle meant for cupcakes to squeeze them out instead

And they came out looking like cabbages, like the ones my mom planted in her FarmVille, on Facebook

Then my dad dropped me off at Chia Yeow's house late (as usual... but it's because of the cookies!) and then we went to Fleur's house together
Wait, the thing is, I am not even sure if it's a house house, it's more like a gigantic super white mansion!

Fleur explaining the differences between high tea and low tea

Fleur's mother geniusly thought of buying the thingie on the left, I dunno what it is called
Then Mei-Lyn bought chocolate chip cookies from Tesco
And Su Anne made those crazy pretty lemon tarts
Chia Yeow's sister didn't want to bake cupcakes for her because she had to do something something with my sister, so she ended up buying Big Apple donuts

Then we saw a wasp on the table
Fleur told us it was found in her grandmother's room
It's so fascinating that even Su Anne took photos of it too!
It moved a bit when we all thought it's dead already

The cake Chia Yeow, Mei-Lyn and I went to Jusco to choose, which Chia Yeow also paid for, for which I did not YET pay her back
Mei-Lyn and I were not very happy with the purple flower the Secret Recipe Malay girl put on the cake
So ugly right!

Fleur's sister, Mariel, is too cool for school

This is my favourite photo of all
Because my face can't be seen, clearly

I like this picture

2009-07-29T21:51:00.002+08:00

I have no life at all man
It's like I have nothing else to do besides print screening people's stuff (and forcing people to blog hahaha)

Thank you Christine Wong for this print screen craze

2009-07-28T03:46:00.001+08:00

What an awesome friend!
Print screen my messages for the world to see

2009-07-28T02:24:00.003+08:00

These days, whenever I wake up in the afternoon (not morning) during the weekends, my mom would say, "Good morning! which part of the globe you live in? Canada?"
She says that in a joking manner but I know she really doesn't like it that I tend to sleep late and wake up late
It's like I never eat breakfast, only lunch + tea
The thing is, I can't fall asleep at night
I have tried, I really did, to sleep early
But I ended up lying on my bed for hours (4 hours max.)
So I don't bother going to bed early already
After all, if people outside the house see that someone is still flicking the lights on and off, they probably won't think of trying to break into our house, right?
Anyway, I love holidays
I don't mind it even if it's super boring
Today I spent my day exploring blogspot/blogger
Nothing productive, but I learned a trick or two =)

2009-07-27T22:44:00.000+08:00

I’m very very much into the Olympic Games fever right now
Okay, more like rhythmic gymnastics fever
See my banner!
Cantik not?
I edited it one leh
Hehehee
Took me ages to do it
And yep I know the thing senget already but aiyoh never mind la…
So yim chim for what right?
I was googling for rhythmic gymnastics and without realising, I was saving pictures
So I was thinking why not share with you guys so you people can “get into the Olympic Games fever” too!
Heeeheee

Errrghhh I hate hate hate doing this, it’s like rolling the ball from one palm to the other across your shoulder blades and neck
It looks damn easy but the ball…
Errrghh I hate the ball
My whole life, I managed to do this for four times only, with more than 50 attempts!
Can you imagine, can count one!
FOUR TIMES!!!

Now I know where got I my “one leg up” badminton pose from

Seriously, even while playing volleyball also my “one leg up” pose can come up
And Derek managed to take a candid shot of me doing my “one leg up”
Then he showed to everyone =(
I hope the photo won’t make it’s way to the internet

This girl is Alina Kabaeva, a very very famous rhythmic gymnast
Apparently there are rumours swirling around about her dating some Russian politician called Vladimir Putin who is like, 30 years her senior!

Try doing this and you can get really really woozy and fall within nanoseconds
Hahaha
Because you go like one leg up and terbalik and you see everything upside down!
The upside down thing makes you go “woooooooo” (as in like woozy lar)

Oh you must see the ones below

Ouchieee!!
Just by looking at the girl’s face is enough to make you cringe

This is something I hate, a lot, seriously

Look at the chair!
Senget already!

I can SO feel the pain man

I remember when I went for training, the instructors from Russia would do things like this to those girls who couldn’t split

2009-07-21T18:28:00.007+08:00

This may not be the first time St. David's High School represented Malacca in choral speaking competitions
But beating ALL the other high schools in the whole of Malaysia (including that Pineapple school girls who gave St. Davidians the L loser sign during their preparation the night before)?
Unheard of!
I went to the venue first thing in the morning with both my parents (my mom took leave from work for this competition) although I had some difficulties waking up at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m.
I am SO not a morning person
But I forced myself up anyway to cheer on my sister and for my high school =)
We reached there in time for the first performance from the SMK Bukit Nanas (they talked about recession or something about materialism), they were not bad I must say
I considered them a threat by the time the third team perform
St. Davidians were the fourth to perform (what a unlucky number, right!) and those kids totally blew me away with their performance
I think they were better than the Pineapples because they were so real and believable, and not forgetting, they did not look like robots at all (unlike some fruity school)
I had so much fun watching them perform
It was a very witty performance on "Teachers' Nightmare"
Okay I might sound like I hate those Pineapple people, but really, I think the St. Davidians were not happy with them because they were so arrogant and all
I mean, come on lar... so what you've been winning all those years? be nice la... no one wants enemies right?
I am sure the St. Davidians were very down to earth (considering they only had 10 days to learn the script and practise)

On the other hand, I was lucky to have cool people my age supporting all together - Ganesh (for his sister), Su Anne (for her brother) and Fleur (for her mother, of course)
So anyway here are some pictures and videos taken on that day itself

Sorry that the video is kinda shaky, I had to keep my arm held up high for 10 minutes!
Oh I know it's sorta inaudible too
I can't do anything man
I have been having muscle ache since then!
By the way, some of the Bukit Nanas girls actually stood up and clapped!

The St. Davidians after their expressive and convincing performance

Look at the crowd!
Around 560 students from all over Malaysia took part
Visitors were only allowed at the back of the hall
(But Su Anne and I went to the front to take some photos anyway haha)

The CIJ/Sacred Heart primary school kids' very very entertaining and adorable performance
Heard they won some national level competition for this performance of theirs, too!

Su Anne!!
Thanks for some photos for this blog post =)

Then the moment everyone's been waiting for (after many many long speeches, of course)

Auntie Anna was so so nervous
But it was funny to watch though haha

St. Davidians with their plaques

Su Anne's cute little brother, Kevin

My teary-eyed sister

The much coveted trophy
The only one that was given away
First runner-up and second runner-up were given only plaques

Encore!

Happy kids!

Yayyy!!!

With Auntie Anna

The cheerleaders!

My sister and my mom =)

Someone just stuffed her phone to my sister to inform the other school friends about their win

Then Patricia joined along too haha

The people who made it happen
And the one person who did an amazingly wonderful job as the coach (in 10 days!) - Miss Anna Nonis

Laura, Patricia and I =)
See how happy I look!

With both my parents

Update: I found a clearer version on Youtube, thanks to my sister's friend (who was daring enough to sit right behind the judges (I think) to take this video!)

2009-07-13T21:45:00.009+08:00

I finally got to meet up with friends for the first time since the holidays =)
And I met up with these wonderful and entertaining people

The "British" EngineerThe "Irish" DoctorThe "Singaporean" EngineerThe "Russian" DoctorThe "Australian" PsychologistThe Other "British" EngineerThe "Australian" Farmer, high class one okay!

They are all true Malaccans lah!

Now you know why I have self-esteem problems
But anyway!

2009-07-08T04:13:00.007+08:00

Michael Jackson is going to live forever
Exactly what he wanted
The highlight of the memorial service is definitely Paris Jackson's short speech

If that didn't make you cry, I don't know what else would
This totally reminded me of my aunt's memorial service
Only the difference is that, I did not go to the front and give a few words about her
I was this close to doing that
At least Paris did the right thing
It's really sad that we grew up watching Michael Jackson, but being his only daughter, she will never be able to (anymore)

"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine, and I just wanted to say I love him so much." - Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson

Thank you MJ, for the music

2009-07-08T00:50:00.005+08:00

Having Chan in your MSN friend list, you will never miss any important news

Sigh... can't believe he really is gone
I am watching the live memorial of Michael Jackson now
With my LLS book in between my legs
I have yet to read more than 3 pages
Heehee

2009-07-05T17:40:00.001+08:00

This short semester felt like a super fast-spinning Ferris wheel
But I like it
I like it fast
Yet, Mel's not here with us =(

2009-06-30T21:46:00.001+08:00

Last Saturday my old high school had a carnival
Can't believe my high school is only 50 years old
Pretty young for a school in Malacca

This is our school field
Something that most guys from the school take pride of because of it's size haha

The turn out was awesome too
Met a lot of old classmates there

The sexy 5sc1 peeps

5sc3

Ex-head prefect and Cookieeeeee!

Seeing double!

They actually hired a DJ!
They could have saved up money and ask me to do it instead, for free!
Okay I'm just kidding

Spot the red Z

Fleur's youngest sister flipping her hair, for a second I thought is Fleur herself haha

My seniors - Marina's gang

Except the girls in black and green

Even Ali Rustam made an appearance!

Spot me haha

Mr. Chay - the headmaster!

I like those balloons

Basketball player Kerbau 13, from Yok Bin High School

There was also a flying fox contraption

From the 2nd Floor

Not forgetting, wall climbing haha

Ponies and horses too

Here's what my younger sister, Laura and some of her classmates did

My sisters and my mom did the cupcakes til 1 in the morning before the carnival!

For Puan Susan's daughter
So cute right!

By the time I reached the carnival, there were only two boxes left
Response was good
This is the only photo I took myself, the other cupcake photos were taken by others

Chia Yeow's sis, Chia Yen

Massaging the chickens

My mom continued helping out with the piping

Even my Add Maths/Physics tuition teacher came eh!
I personally think he slimmed down a lot

One of Laura's class stalls

Look at this little boy!
Laura lured him to her stall and made his mom buy him a cupcake haha

My youngest sister, Clara's class stall

They were selling pop corn
Clara made the pop corn til 12midnight

My mom also helped out with the poster

Clara the scout doing her duty

Here's one of her best friends, Xiao Qi
Don't you think she looks extremely like Scarlett Johansson?

Mr. Sassy haha!
The guys' favourite PE teacher

Mr. Tay, the accounts teacher

Of course, Puan Low, the chemistry teacher
She used to make me sit at the front row of the chemistry lab because I was too noisy

Puan Tan Siow Pin (funny how we don't just call her Puan Tan) on the right. the lady on her right is Miss Monica, a new teacher I heard

The 3rd floor is the form 5 science stream floor
I used to think we climbed 10 floors to reach our classes
So high up and sooooo many staircases
I also used to cheat myself that there's only one more staircase left to keep me going (just one more... one more!!)
I remember someone dropped his football from our floor and got into trouble! hahaha
Oh those were the days
If only I could turn back time
I miss those people!
By the way, they locked the walkway at the back already

So yesterday I was having a bad day but then the girls asked me to go out and celebrate Siew Wen’s birthday
I wasn’t really in the mood to do anything
Let alone drive and be happy with a bunch of people who know me too well
So if I don’t go, well, I would feel really terrible
And they would taunt me for the rest of my life, but of course, in a joking manner
After all they are a bunch of girls I grew up with
Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today
They changed me in so many wonderful ways that even words cannot describe

The birthday girl

We didn’t sing the birthday song out loud because all of us dislike being stared at
Especially by strangers
Guess what we did?
We sang inside our heads and once we were done, we said “AHEM”

With her third cake of the day

Some people are just so lucky
Three different gangs of friends to celebrate her birthday
She must have had a busy day

From left: Fang Wui who is studying nursing in Penang, Siew Geok I have no comment, Siew Wen who is leaving for Johor to study errrrr… something something :p, and me, well, the lost soul

Someone complained I got too much hair on the first pic so I flipped my hair back for this
From left: Mei Chi who is studying errr… something something that’s got to do with chemistry and bio in MMU and the rest lah

This girl, without her
Whoaaa…
I can’t really imagine my life without her
She’s like the most awesome chick ever

This girl pulaaa…
Well, I was in the same class with her since like standard one til form 5
That’s kinda rare isn’t it?
She passed me some of her creative juices
Without her, well, I wouldn’t be as picky as I am now
Hahahaha
She’s the queen of perfection in everything
Including homework and art

2009-06-13T23:06:00.000+08:00

Melanie just left =(
Surprise attempt failed because of the teng teng teng teng thing from the KLIA announcer haha but it was really fun
The process of it I mean
I didn’t manage to sleep properly these past two days, even now, it’s 6.50am and I still can’t sleep =(
Been tossing and turning on the bed for hours (darn it man) until cannot tahan so decided to come online and blog and also read news
Prior to this, I wished time would pass by slower so it wouldn’t reach Friday night so fast, I really dreaded it lar
I even told myself to forget about Mel for a while, which was a mean thing to do
And now I am worrying about her flight (all those bad things that might happen and stuff, sorry about the negativity lah, I know I AM paranoid)
She’s definitely one of the nicest friends in KL, a total rare gem
Beautiful both inside and outside
(Funny how I didn’t write all these in her farewell card, I suppose I really am not good with words, especially when it comes to saying goodbyes. I mean, I kept going, “OH MY GOSH WHAT TO WRITE LAH!!! reaching KLIA already! how how HOWWWWW!?!?!?!”)

It’s strange that they changed the normal “delayed” to “retimed” (I’m probably wrong, just an assumption that retimed means delayed), just to sound nicer perhaps? or they got themselves a new PR? haha
She’s traveling to Newark via Stockholm, which means she’s reaching in roughly 4 more hours? (will continue to stalk her all the way to Newark haha!)
I sincerely hope she will get a better life over in the States
She deserves much better than what life has got to offer her in Malaysia
Hope to see you back in Malaysia soon, Smelly Melly!
(So you can be my FedEx *wink wink* hahahaha)
Webcam soon aight!
Love you looooooooong time!

Anyway life’s been busy like mad
No time for a lot things
But I think I’m starting to get used to KL life already (the not-so-nice people, the not-so-cheap food, the not-so-clean air, the not-so-tasty food, the not-so-comfortable bed)
Although I get into the super depressing mode if I don’t get to see my family for two weeks in a row
I just need junk foooooooood actually! (sorta)
Went groceries shopping with Camie, Sheryl and Michelle the other day
And bought lots of junk food which probably gonna last me half a week more

Then Michelle saw this

She said it’s an imitation of Lay’s

And that Tiffany should get laid
Gotta love that girl
She’s officially the funniest girl in KL after just spending few hours with her

Her love for Lay’s =D
Anyway these three girls totally made my day (Sheryl even came to HELP with the help of her GPS!)
No regrets skipping Public Speaking class that day
Heard it lasted for less than an hour anyway
If not for them, I would have gone all depressed and lonely already
I had so so much fun groceries shopping with them

Oh weeks ago, I dropped by Times Square just to get Krispy Kreme to ta pao back to Malacca
I saw Times Square (on the inside) for the first time
I stared in awe with the amount of floors the mall has
I took a photo of it and a man looked at me as if it’s my first day out in the city (well kinda)
Call me jakun/sua ku, but I really don’t get out much while in KL
Feels like a jail in here sometimes
But my parents are starting to let loose one me already lar
They allow me to go out at night now, as long as they know who I am with and where I am going to and what’s the purpose
So I suppose I should rejoice a bit

Oh Hooi Tzing’s puppies!
Left just three, the rest died already =( so sad
I really really seriously wanted one coz they’re so adorably cute
But my dad kept shaking his head, how could he be so heartless? =(

Here were the souvenirs I got from Tioman roughly a month ago (totally forgot to post them up! oh wait, I didn’t even blog hahaha)

I applied sunscreen, but forgot to spread it all over so there were like these three pesky ugly “stripes” on my right arm

And also my shoulders and chest -.-

And I fell down at the jetty -.-
I’m like an old lady eh

Oooooh I had my first ever 3D movie with my cousin Judy (the cousin whom everyone says “eh she looks like you!”)
Monsters vs. Aliens
The movie was so so but the 3D thing was pretty cool

Oh here the Krispy Kreme workers!

I like this
But I can’t find it anywhere in Malaysia =(

And the stupid me finished it in less than 3 minutes

Oh yay I’m going zorbing in few hours’ time!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so excited!

But the problem now is to sleep or not to sleep
If I sleep, surely I cannot wake up for it
Oh well, someone please, just kill me already
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I WANNA SLEEP LAAAAAAA!!!

Okay anyway, I won’t be blogging much these days
This short semester is driving me cuckoo nuts

2009-05-23T23:27:00.000+08:00

This morning I had a morning call from Sheryl the queen
And I mumbled my way through out the conversation
Trust me, talking to me on the phone or even in real life while I am sleeping can be a pain sometimes, normally I don’t remember ever receiving a call or talking to anyone
On Thursday morning, Desmond texted me and told me that David Cook won
I replied him saying YAY!!! and when I was fully awake I checked my messages then only I realised I actually replied him
So back to the topic, she asked me out together with Pei Chze the Picit
Then I drove to Sheryl’s place and waited forever for Miss Picit the Vainpot to be done with trimming her hair to perfection (hahahahahaha…) to arrive and I was starving like what only
So after hanging around doing nothing at Sheryl’s house, Miss Pretty with her fantabulous new hair drove us to MP while the not-as-noisy-Sheryl talked over the phone through out the journey with some fella who complained that me and Miss Beautiful were too noisy for the fella’s liking
After taking a million years to decide what to eat, we settled with Pizza Hut and as usual, they chucked most of the food to me since I am a food monster and they were scared they might starve me to death or something
And we managed to convince the waitress who was serving us to give us free coca cola refills
Heehehee
Then we hung around and stuffs and we went back to Sheryl’s place for a swim
Errrrrr…
Then it was kinda like that la
Photos of the camwhores after swimming

2009-05-01T20:07:00.000+08:00

This morning my dad came to my room and told me some stupid fellas cut our fence again
The last time they did that was last year
And they stole my dad’s old pump meant for his plants
This time they didn’t manage to steal anything
I think because I went downstairs in the middle of the night or something, then they realised someone’s not asleep yet
Or maybe because neighbour’s son came back from mamak after some football match
My dad said he told him that he heard dogs barking
Oh well, I really dunno lar
I’m not sleeping tonight, because I wanna jaga rumah =(
But I’m not sure how long I can last
My dad said I must sleep, but then, what’s the point of sleeping if you don’t feel safe right?
I think I’m gonna get some guy who knows super kung fu as my husband in the future =D

Anyway we went to the police station and made a report
My dad dragged me along
At first I thought he didn’t wanna go alone
Mana tahu it’s because he needed my help to communicate with the police officer
Because his BM dunno mana pergi already -.-

On the way back home, I gave my dad some ideas on how to get rid of those stupid jerks
Like, setting up mouse traps at the garden, so if those stupid jerks step on them, they would scream and we would wake up and ring the police station immediately
Or like, if they step on some thing then a water balloon would splash on them
And… some other ideas
He thinks I am weird and that I watched Home Alone with my sisters a tad too much
But one thing though, I’m glad our neighbour has a rifle
He probably has more than one
Like maybe a dozen of short guns or something
I’m even more glad that we are friends with him hahaha

After that we played kites in front of our house, at the field there
I lost count of how many kites we played
But it was quite fun
And I think I’m not bad at it too
Maybe it’s in the genes hehehehehe

Here’s my dad

Flying one of the kites my uncle (Yvonne’s dad) got for him
Not cheap I tell you!
I think each kite costs around RM 100 or less
It’s those really huge and big kites (even the string used to fly the kites is different from the normal kind, we have to use gloves while holding the string, those cuts are no joke)
It’s fully handmade and it’s impossible for my dad to make one himself (although I consider my dad a pro at making kites)
And my uncle got my dad THREE of those kites!
Brotherly love, I call it =)
*When I finally retire earlier than you, Yvonne, remember to buy me kites too okay! hahaha*

I really really dislike cats
And that cat kept purring beside our legs
Omg so irritating
Then some uncle jogged passed with his Dachshund and the cat got so scared and ran up to the tree and wouldn’t come down
Haha stupid cat!
Oh how I love that dog!

After a while my dad decided to make the kite fly higher
I told him not to because who knows what might happen to the kite and it might terbang to God knows where
But he decided to make it fly higher anyway
It dropped on a tree -.-
A really tall tree I must say, at least, according to my standard

Then my dad did the unthinkable
He climbed up the tree O.O
I was pleading him to stop but he said he cannot afford to lose the kite because it’s from his own brother
I was like, what the hell?
My heart was beating so so fast I think it could have had dropped out if not for the fact that my dad was actually quite skillful while climbing the stupid nangka tree

Look at my crazy dad!

He was so so happy when he found the kite
Yes I typed “found”
We couldn’t find the kite at first because it was so high up

My dad is insane

While walking back home, I told him, “pa, you’re not exactly 15 years old, you’re half a century old already, so would you please stop giving your less than a quarter century daughter old heart attack?”
He laughed and said, “your dad is more than half a century old already”
I think he was concentrating more on his age rather than my heart’s condition

I think he’s seriously cuckoo nuts
But I still love him more than ever

I went to Facebook just now and I saw this

So I clicked on it
And I saw PUPPIES!!!

So here’s the story, my two friends, Hooi Tzing and Chia Yeow are neighbours
Both have dogs
Hooi Tzing has this pure-bred golden retriever while Chia Yeow’s dad brought back a mongrel from pasar malam last year (if I’m not wrong, it’s a mix between two pure-bred dogs)
The golden retriever is named Ginger while Chia Yeow’s mongrel is named Google, her little sister’s brilliant idea
So I heard from either Hooi Tzing or Chia Yeow (I forgot) that Ginger and Google slept together and had PUPPIES!!!
I suppose both of them didn’t know until their family members told them (I mean HT and CY lah, not the dogs)
They are both studying in Ireland and Australia respectively
So yeah, I think the puppies are soooooooooooo teeny weeny and adorable
I cannot wait to go back to Malacca to visit the pups
But sadly one of the puppies died =(
The funniest thing is that Hooi Tzing told Chia Yeow, “we’re related now!”

I wish I could have one of the puppies or something
But for sure, FOR SURE my parents won’t let me have any, because they think I cannot even take care of myself, how to take care of another living thing?
Ish

Omg I don’t wanna study anymore, can?

Sigh I miss my Malacca friends so so so so so so SOOOOOOOOO MUCH

Update: This is Google

I have no idea why the puppies are all black either
Funny eh

Oh and I was telling my sister about this incident
She said she knew something was fishy about Google because Google kept going near Ginger hahhaa
I told her she should have bought condoms for Google
She said it’s my fault that I didn’t give her money to buy for Google instead -.-
Kids nowadays

Nastia Liukin for Max Azria!!

2009-04-14T23:12:00.001+08:00

Believe it or not, I just got conned
I think
I’m not sure but here’s what happened
(Despite having exams next week, I can still blog, imagine how badly I need to tell you this)

After class, Aimi decided to bring me out for dinner
I was so happy because dinner is like a dilemma, I don’t know what to eat every night (plus you know how much I hate cooking)
So after going into Bangsar Village I, AND also paying for the parking even though we just walked for like less than hour to find food
We couldn’t find any food
So we decided to head to Bangsar Village II area to see what it has to offer
We passed by a German restaurant with real Germans speaking German, I could tell Aimi really wanted to go since she misses Germany so much
She was like “they’re speaking German!” when she passed by the tourists in the restaurant
But then, it’s non-halal so we went to this mamak (like Makbul) and I SAW SOTONG!!!

I was so happy so I asked how much is it
The fella happily told me “dua puluh lapan ringgit” (RM 28)
I thought he was just joking
I mean, seriously, a sotong like this costs RM 28?
You know how those uncles and ah neh always tell you the price 10 times or 100 times more than it actually is?
Yeah, I was thinking of that
So I asked, “you mean two eighty?”
He said “ya”
I was like whoa cool sure okay “one please!”
I was so so so happy because I had not been eating sotong since shooting the short film in Subang last month!
Plus it’s so huge for something less than RM 4!
The guy gave me white rice with kuah ikan (my fav!) and asked me to take a seat and wait for my sotong because they have to cut and fry it again
I was thinking, “whoa good service”
Then I ate my rice while waiting for my sotong while Aimi finally got her kuey tiao goreng and teh tarik which she’s been craving since 3pm
The guy who writes the bill came and gave me the bill
RM 28!!!!
For just the sotong!!
Oh my gawd
Aimi was shocked too because, like me, she thought the guy was joking when he said RM 28
I don’t know what reaction I gave the fella but Aimi keeps saying it’s funny
In my head, I was just thinking, “omgomgomgomgomgggggggggggggggggggg”
Then the guy who cut my sotong came over and said he told me it’s RM 28 when I asked
I didn’t know what to tell him back but I really didn’t want the sotong at all!
I mean, yeah he didn’t do anything wrong; he didn’t lie to me; he really just didn’t do anything wrong!
BUT I DIDN’T WANT THE STUPID SOTONG, AT ALL!!!
Then he told the guy who gave me the bill to issue me a new bill
Deep inside I thought he would stop the re-frying of the sotong
But then, the stupid sotong came

And I looked at my new bill
RM 25 -.-

I was this close to committing suicide

Pssst… the mamak place’s address is right there at the bill, click on picture to enlarge
I don’t mind if you want to boycott that darn stupid place

Anyway Aimi decided to share the sotong with me
THANK GOD

Anyway Novo is in Bangsar Village II!!!

Last weekend my dad and I went down to JB for Cheng Meng and also for my grandfather’s death anniversary
After spending a few days in JB, we went down to Singapore to visit my late aunt’s grave for the first time since the tomb completed days/weeks ago

While waiting for the other cousins to reach Singapore from JB, my cousin Stephanie gave me this crazily expensive ice cream they bought
SGD 2 something!!
And they say it’s very worth the money because it’s like, buy 2 free 1 =|

Crazily yummy too!
(I have stubby fingers! hahaha)

It says made in Germany (Yi En, you know what to do!!)

Then we went IMM (and had the above ice cream, super yummy) after visiting my beloved aunt’s grave at Choa Chu Kang
We all still miss her a lot
And the grave is very nice

Then we went Vivocity, tortured my feet with Yvonne’s gladiator heels (because we exchanged, I won’t wu-liao-ly wear a pair of heels to go shopping =p) (oh we were in Vivo during Earth Hour), Anson asked for a cheese cake because he had this sudden urge to eat one
Some of them went to Bakerzin

To get this cheese cake

Looks like a giant Oreo, don’t you think?

Then the other half of us went to a petrol kiosk nearby to buy Ben & Jerry’s
Yvonne chose this, with both eyes closed

I didn’t know which to choose, I simply took Cake Batter

Stephanie looked like me and went, “are you sure about this one?”
I was like, “uhhh I dunno… looks alright, is it good? have you tried this?”
She was like, “yeah it’s not that bad, but if you want it, then okay bah”
I said, “but if not nice how?”
She laughed and said, “then they surely blame you lor”
Turns out, not nice one =(

Yvonne booing the lousy ice cream

Boo!

Just being random =)

The chicken rice we bought from the place we got our three flavours ice cream from
The place is called “Pepper Lunch”
If you walk pass that shop, you definitely would turn and look inside the shop because the place smells really good
But their food are superly duperly overly priced
That chicken rice is like SGD 10.60!!
Not like inside got a lot of chicken meat anyway!

Oh while we were in IMM, we went to this shoe shop called “Mondo”
My cousin Adeline said it’s a very popular shop among local celebrities because the shoes are cheap and comfortable (I don’t think there’s such thing as comfortable heels, actually)
When we reached that shop, it’s like, heaven!
Because they were having some sales
SGD 9.90 PER PAIR!!! (well, some lar)
And it’s not like Malaysia’s sales
In Malaysia, let’s say I see something I like and it’s on sale, for sure don’t have one with my size, because it’s normally sold out
But in Mondo, even the SGD 9.90 ones, got my size!
So I decided to buy a pair for presentation since my kaki semakin besar day after day so none of the old ones can fit already!
I was stuck between something like this (without the slight platform)

And this

I had to choose the latter because the first one, one of it is a display set so it’s kinda loose already
I prefer the first one much more though =(
How bout you guys?
But then, of course, I have no complains because it’s so so cheap!
Here the proof
Heheheh

(You can even click to enlarge!)

Hope to see you again soon too!

Remember I told you about Yvonne’s gladiator heels I wore in Vivo?
Well, she got it for SGD 19.90
Quite cheap too

If you (guys) don’t know what on earth is gladiator heels, it looks something like this below

The funny thing is that, she wears her flip flops so often, grandma and her mom constantly complain to Adeline and Stephanie about it
They hid her flip flops in IMM while she was trying on the gladiator heels she wanted
(Thank God no one complains to them about my flip flops!)
So she had to wear the heels the entire day
That’s why, being the nice cousin (haha!!), I took it from her and tortured myself instead
Actually no lar, I’m not that nice
I wanted to see how long I can last only =)

But then Adeline paid for both our shoes
I paid the cashier at first, but then she stuffed 10 bucks back to me in the end

Anyway Chia Yeow, here’s your request
Hair before the haircut =)

I was so excited with the shoes I bought, I cam-whored with it, Paris Hilton style hahahah (my sister is definitely not photographer material)
But of course, the face is so ugly, definitely 见不得光

There’s more hair actually, I threw away some, then only I thought of taking a picture =p
I snipped more or less like four times in total

And this is after!
见不得光 also =)

Whadayathink

Jason Mraz oh Jason Mraz
How you drive girls crazy
And in case you think I went, well, no I did not

So here’s what happened
Hitz was giving away Jason Mraz tickets
And I thought I wanna doing something interesting
Plus it would be my first real real outing since moving to KL to study
So I tried calling while I was back in Malacca last few weeks ago
I called during Moots’ time slot and well I got through through the house phone
He asked why I want the tickets so badly, I said I wanna give my mom a break and bring her to the concert, plus she’s a fan
It’s obviously a lie which I came up with at the last minute because that was the only answer I could think of at that time
I said it’s a lie because my mom is not the kind who would want to travel all the way to KL just to watch a concert Unless it’s Bae Yong Joon or Kwon Sang Woo, then maybe that’s another matter (oh wait, she did, for Engelbert Humperdinck, with my dad)
Oh but she really is a fan of Jason Mraz’s songs though
So Moots said he would call my mother and ask her to sing a sentence or two of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”
He called and called like three times but my mom did not pick up
I was getting worried so I took my dad’s phone, which was right beside me
Dialed my mom’s other number and asked Moots to hold on and ran down the stairs and asked my dad to ask my mom to pick up her other phone
So…
Thankfully, SHE DID
Then Moots asked my mom to sing “I’m Yours”
But my mom was like, “oh my goodness I dunno the lyrics! I don’t know how to sing! I only know how to hum a bit and that’s all! Don’t ask me to sing!!”
Moots was like, “but you have to!”
The my mom’s like, “okay, hold on I get my iPod then I sing along with the iPod”
Fortunately she managed to find Jason Mraz’s folder in a jiffy
Then Moots was like, “okay… start NOW!”
But my mom’s goldfish memory was somehow really geng that day
She went like, “errr which song again? The Remedy I Won’t Worry or Lucky or Did You Get My Message or I’m Yours?”
Moots repeated, “I’m Yours”
Seriously sometimes it must be so frustrating to talk to my mom, she keeps forgetting things (reminds you of someone you guys know huh?)
And she was like, “wait wait… haven’t start, only got music wait arr”
Then I suppose Moots got pretty fed up
Hahahaha he was like “okay okay I think your mom is really a fan, so CONGRATULATIONS SANDRA YOU JUST WON YOURSELF TWO TICKETS TO CATCH JASON MRAZ LIVE IN STADIUM NEGARA ON THE FOURTH OF MARCH!!!”
Then he put me off air and went like, “hold on yeah”
I waited for like 2 minutes and then the line went dead, I was like, oh no!
But then later I remembered that I gave him my mom’s number so I suppose he would call my mom again and ask for my number and details
He did and she gave him most of my details, but, she forgot my IC number
I can’t blame her about that though
So then Moots called me like 10 minutes later to ask for my IC number, that 10 minutes seemed like infinity to me seriously
Then a while later, my mom called me and asked me whether I Gotcha-ed her or not
I was like “oh my gosh no lar mommy!!”
You know sometimes I kinda guess why am I such a paranoid person, it’s aaaaalllll in the genes!
So I explained to her what actually happened and she was like, “ooooohhhh”
Yep that’s how I won the tickets

Then I thought the first person I HAD GOT TO bring to the concert was Judy
I told her after winning the tickets and she was so so over the moon
But then a while later she told me she got tests on that day and the next day
I was bummed
So she said I can bring Joel, her brother
I was like, “alright, that’s fine too”
Plus I owe their family so much already
I stayed with them whenever I get sick while in KL
I did not stay with my uncle when I was sick because no one’s ever home so it would be pretty dangerous, in case I faint or something
Fainting is probably my parents’ worst fear, although throughout my almost 21 years of living life, I had only fainted once, I think

Then few days/weeks (I forgot) later, Hitz people called me and asked me to go to their office in Bukit Jalil to pick up the tickets, on Monday
Sigh of all days
I was supposed to pass up my assignment on that day and I did not do that particular assignment
But I managed to finish it up anyway lar, in time some more hehehehe
All thanks to Nelson though =)
Anyway!
Aimi, my friend, told me she’s gonna buy the tickets to go see Jason Mraz on the concert day itself
I told Aimi that I won it and that I would have to go Bukit Jalil to pick it up but I did not know hot to go there so she willingly volunteered to drive me ALL THE WAY to Bukit Jalil since she said she wanted to go visit her friends at IMU anyway
So I thought, oh well, why not right!
But then we kinda planned wrongly lar, especially the time factor
Plus we ended up taking a longer route to Bukit Jalil (we took the Subang way, instead of the Puchong way)
Since she drove, I felt so extremely terrible that she had to come out with the petrol so I paid for all the toll charges (tsk I hate those tolls)
After Bukit Jalil , we rushed back to uni and we were late for class -.-
And she did not get to visit her friends in IMU

Then roughly a day later, Joel and I were discussing on how we gonna travel to the stadium and stuff
Halfway he asked me when we have to go collect the tickets so I said I picked up already and that my friend Aimi drove me to Bukit Jalil to pick it up
He was like, “whoa I don’t feel like going now leh, let your friend go lar”
I was like “okay, if you’re sure about it then I’ll ask her”
So I told Joel about Christine, and that she so wanted to go for the concert also
That genius cousin of mine, he suggested that Christine and Aimi pay RM44 each to buy another ticket so we three could go together
So I called them and I suggested this to both of them
They were both estatic about it and totally agreed to it

Later, Aimi told me she has to get another ticket for her friend Ili who studies in Sungai Petani and that she’s interested in going for the concert too
So that meant four of us would be going for the concert
On the concert day itself, Aimi picked Christine up from her house and went hunting for tickets at One Utama – sold out; Mid Valley – sold out too
They decided to go to the stadium itself to buy the tickets
Then they picked me up from uni, and then decided to pick Ili up from Duta Bus Station (which I did not know exist til that day)
It took us like, one and a half hour to find that bus station
Chrstine called her godbrother and father while Aimi called Hui Hui, her friend, her navigator, and practically a life-saver, to ask for directions
I sat at the back, like a useless idiot
Because I had no one to call to ask for directions
We passed by our uni like three times when the station is supposedly near to our uni
So after picking up Ili, it’s already dark
(I asked her whether Sungai Petani got a lot of petanis or sawahs or not haha)
And we reached the stadium at 7.45pm, I think
Aimi and Ili waited in the car while Christine and I went down to the stadium to see if there are any tickets left available for sale
When we got down, there were already people queuing up to buy tickets
While waiting Christine bought me a chocolate ice cream, thank you Crispy =)
And we saw a few local celebrities

Douglas Lim and Harith Iskander

And also, my favourite, Sarina Sundara Rajah!! (extreme left)

Oh my goodness I was this close to ask her to take a picture with me (but then very shy lar because so many people were looking at Douglas Lim and Harith Iskander and she was standing next to them, plus not like I really wanna take picture with the two guys anyway so imagine if I ask a not so “recognizable” celebrity to take a picture with me while I ignore the other more famous one, not very nice right)

So then we found out that there weren’t any left, except the RM 200 plus one
Of course that’s way beyond our budget
So I decided to give my ticket to Aimi since she went through so much trouble for me and for others
Then I called her and told her I don’t wanna go and that she can have my ticket
She screamed, “OH MY GOD ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT TO GO??? BUT YOU WON THE TICKETS!! ARE SURE OR NOT?? ARE YOU SURE???AAAAAAHHHH!!!”
I snapped at her jokingly and shouted back, “YOU BETTER COME NOW AND DON’T WASTE MY CREDIT ARR!!!”
The people around looked at me
…
I was pretty embarrassed by then so I walked out of the stadium area and went into the car
Aimi was like, “are you serious??”
I went cooly, “yes”
Hahahhaa it was so funny
The next thing I knew Ili hugged me and said something I don’t remember
Aimi rushed down the car after giving me a hug too
She probably said something which I don’t remember either
Then Ili and I discussed where to go
(Thank God she knows how to drive an auto car!! I still dunno hahah)
And we decided to go Times Square, I think
But then we ended up in Sungei Wang
And we were like arguing where to park because I saw a RM 4/entry one but then she wanted a RM 3 one
Actually she thought wrongly hahah because like, it’s RM 3 for the first hour and another RM 3 for the next hour ^%$&#@!*
But by the time we both realise that, we already entered the RM 3 one already
So we went down and decided to have dinner
But then
I saw FOS got buy one free one promotion (!!!)
I ran inside and spent God knows how long while Ili just talked over the phone =( sorry Ili
She did not seem to be much of a shoppaholic though (omg, am I one now??)
So after trying close to 15 pieces of clothings, I decided to buy only 4 pieces
I don’t think I ever went on a shopping rampage like this before
And I did not count how much cash I had with me but went to the cashier anyway because they were closing for the day already
Hahaha so embarrassing
The cashier scanned all the items and… in total, RM 54 *gasp*
But to think about it, RM 54 for 4 pieces of clothings is pretty cheap =)
Then I korek my pocket, I had RM 54, just nice!!
Hahaha I was so happy but then no money left after that
Thank goodness I brought my ATM cards with me and went to take out some money to buy dinner
I ta-pao-ed KFC’s cheesy wedges (yumm yumm) while Ili bought something from McD’s while the duo did not want any food
Then I got a call from Aimi that the concert’s over and that we go pick them up, the timing was just right actually
But then we got kinda lost while trying to find a U-turn
There was no U-turn so we kept waiting for a U-turn sign
We passed by so many shopping centres!
I saw Pavilion for the first time
And the only word I can describe that place is – shiny
And some other shopping centres lar but I don’t remember much (I guess Pavilion was too shiny I forgot everything else)
But I remember that I saw an ang moh guy driving next to us and he’s sooooooo handsome but Ili disagrees though
I think it took us more than an hour to find our way back to the stadium to pick the duo up
And later, we got lost again
But it was pretty fun in the car =)
I enjoyed every single minute of it although I was dead tired
But the worst thing was that Christine and I did not do our assignment and it’s due the next day =(
So yeah we did not pass it up
I tried to do with my eyes half closed but it was too torturing so I went to sleep lar in the end hehehe

The next day I went to college, without my supposedly done assignment in hand =(
While Christine was saying how awesome the concert was
Nelson told us, he had a RM 200 something ticket from a friend who decided not to go last minute and a few friends asked for it
He did not know who to give so he kept it himself, AND DID NOT GO
That, is why we are not on talking terms with him, for one week, I told him
Tsk

p/s Guys, please don’t let my parents know I didn’t do my assignment. They might just slaughter me and you can never see me walking on earth ever again

p/p/s If you guys are interested in reading about the concert, here are what Christine and Aimi have got to say

2009-02-27T00:06:00.000+08:00

So many things to say, so little time!
Assignments are piling up like mad these days and most of them due next week, I think
Hehe I like to bluff myself that the assignments are due soon so I could do earlier, but in the end, it’s all about cheating your own miserable self and everything is always done last minute so it’s kinda pointless anyway!
So updates updates!
Last week I went over to Johor Bahru with my dad for the Chingay festival
Many of you are probably wondering what on earth is Chingay
I totally suck at explaining things, so basically, there’s a lot of tong tong chiangs involved and it’s pretty fun if you’re with the right crowd and also if you love walking 6km or 8km
In my case, I hate hate hate walking
But well, I went with my favourite cousin so it was very fun
Both our dad (are brothers) walked together while both of us walked with our own pace, which was pretty slow compared to two 50 year old-ish’s standard
Ahhh fun times
Here are pictures of both our dads crossing the same road like five times just to find some kite owner whose kite was flying high up

And the stupid thing was that we both crossed the road as many times as they did and people were looking at us!
We were like zigzagging for 10 minutes or something on the same stretch of road
But here’s one with Yvonne’s dad smiling happily with his mandarin orange when the lion dance’s lion threw it towards our direction and he got it

(Judging by this picture and our dads’ smiles, I think Yvonne looks a lot like her dad and I do look a lot like my dad too, regardless of how people say we look 100% like our moms)

Anyway I did not take many pictures
Most of them with Yvonne so yeah, have to wait for her lar
If wait until cannot tahan then I might just forget about it
No one cares anyway!
And then, I kept missing Ren Han for probably the third or second year now
We kept trying to meet up or something but something always come up and… oh you know
Anyway so I told him we would go his house to pick him up if Yvonne’s brother, Anson’s going along
But last minute I found out Anson decided to play golf with another cousin instead
And I forgot to tell Ren Han
So he waited for me to call him, but I forgot
And he did not have any of our numbers (as in like, Yvonne’s and mine)
So he went there by himself but we did not get to meet him because we totally forgot about him!
Aaah I am such a terrible friend
Then after the Chingay festival, my dad and his two brothers brought me along for the kite festival

I accidentally kicked on one of those, kena screamed at man

I like the yellow one because of the dangl-y thingie

France’s entry!

This is my favourite because it’s so colourful

So cool right?
From Malaysia one leh, what a surprise

It was like my third time there (it’s an annual thing by the way)
You see, our dads LOVE kites
My dad’s super pro at making his own
In fact, he is making his own these days after retirement (yeah shocking, my dad’s retired! I know he looks so young right! Many thought he’s just kidding when he said he’s retired)
Anyway, whenever I get back to Malacca, I “help” him design some kites
I think I am very much like my dad in terms of having A LOT of patience while doing things that we like
He seriously measures the strings like how I measure the gift wrappers while wrapping gifts (well I used to do that, but then I realized people just tear the wrappers away and don’t really care whether you wrapped it nicely or not)
And plus I was the only one with the interest to help him with the designing
Both my sisters just ignore him and do their own stuff while my mom cooks
Anyway!
After the kite festival, I decided to skip the entire week of classes
Sigh I know, I am indeed a bad bad student but I really miss Malacca
It’s like my life is there
In KL, I have no life
KL friends can be counted with all my fingers and toes =(
Oh and right, on Sunday my mom asked me to cook porridge, so I did
As I was stirring the porridge in the pot
Some porridge spew out as it was bubbling
Kena my arm oh my goodness so painful!
I did not take a picture right after
But I took a picture after my mom asked me to cut out some aloe vera from the garden
So after applying on my arm, I used sellotape to stick it to my arm
Laura helped me to stick it, but my mom said “I can’t believe I have two dumbos as my daughters”

Now you know why my mom called us dumbos

So ugly man I tell you
And painful too!
So anyway, one of those days when I was in Malacca I decided to pass my Desperate Housewives season 5 episodes to Chia Yeow since she’s leaving for Australia soon
So I went over to her house and she told me some of her problems
Of all the friends I have, she’s the one with the craziest problems
Then she told me she’s going Tioman with my close friend of like, 16 years (opps… probably 17!) and she asked me to tag along
But it’s on Monday til Wednesday
Obviously I cannot afford to skip anymore or else Zan’s gonna kill me in God knows what way (oh by the way, I managed to pass up my assignment together with another girl on Monday!)
(He probably read THAT blog post, and is probably reading it, right about… now)
(I am so not kidding, our lecturer reads our blogs!)
Chia Yeow tried persuading me, saying like she’s leaving soon and we won’t be able to spend time together anymore til she comes back in June and tempted me with all sort of things lar
But I had to say no because my parents won’t let me skip anymore
She even asked me to bluff them!
But it’s very hard to bluff my parents
They can see through everything I tell you!
So I kuai kuai went back to KL =(
Then on Tuesday night, I thought about Ai Fang and Chia Yeow
So I texted Chia Yeow and told them to be careful and enjoy themselves
Within seconds, Chia Yeow called me
And told me this (which, a day later, Ai Fang emailed to those close to her. I lazy to type so I am just gonna paste everything here lah)

“hey people, u not gonna believe this !!
i recently juz came bac from tioman with chia yeow and actually we were supposed to stay for one more day but we returned early . something happened on the first day we reached tioman . we went snorkelling in the afternoon and we left our phones behind in our room and we really didnt expect something liike this to happen . we received a call from liang yi that our parents have been blackmailed and my parent had already paid them 30k . i was still showering and cyeow was like shouting at the top of her lungs and i was so shocked when i heard that and seriously i could hardly stand . OMG …. i was wondering how on earth this thing can happened to me and cyeow..wtf ….but cyeow remained calm and i just went blank . i quickly called my parents and told them i m safe and the first thing i heard from my parent was that we got cheated !! wtf…..they said the man threatened them if they dont bank in the money immediately , they would rape me and kill me.and actually they wanted 200 k from my parents but my parents said they dont know how to do online transactions so they would only cash in the money . and since they didnt have much cash with them so they bank in 30 k only . but fortunately the police able to block the transaction on time but we still , have to wait for 3 months to get back the money . but thank god ,me and my parents are safe . I m really scared that night that i could hardly sleep and cyeow was sleeping so soundly. so the whole nigt i was thinking what if i really get kidnapped in melaka and things like that . i tell you i really feel like dying man at that moment . i cant imagine that i might not have the chance of not seeing all of u again . i was really scared but i know i can conquer it coz i will not be easily defeated . so guys, some quick reminders…..
1. make sure ur parents know where u are and that they can contact u anytime .
2. nvr leave ur cell phone behind .
3.stay calm and call ur parents immediately if something like this really happen to u .

guys i love yall so much and i really cannot imagine not seeing yall again .so i will really cherish every single momont with all of u!! after all whats teh worse that can happen to me now . take care ppl !!!

love,
ai fang”

So you see, it was like 11pm at night when Chia Yeow told me all that
I was trying my best to keep my oh my Gods down but I don’t think it was any use as the next day my uncle asked whether I am okay or not
And that night, I stayed awake for 2 hours as I could not sleep, and kept thinking about what would happen if my friend really got kidnapped =(
I mean, we grew up together since four years old!
Went to the same primary school, the same high school!
Okay so next up,
I DONATED BLODD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!
It was a really big deal for me
I had been wanting to donate blood since, I don’t remember when
Probably when I found out there’s such thing as donating blood
But I was underage, underweight, and under a lot of things lah
Basically I did not fulfill the criteria
Then last August, I think
Reshma and I decided to donate but then we had 4 hours sleep, while the minimum requirement’s like, 5?
Well, we had to rush our assignment the night before mah
That’s why
Then early September, my beloved aunt got admitted into the ICU in Singapore
I saw pints and pints of blood were given to her
But she was bleeding too
It was like, in, then out, in then out again
It was painful to watch
I remember myself staring at the units of blood
I lost count how many pints she received
But I wondered who were the generous people
I wish I could thank them personally
Although it did not save her life, I am still thankful that the countless pints of B type blood helped prolonged her life for a few precious days
So I thought since I have O+ blood type, I can save even more people (that doesn’t mean you can make friends with me just for this particular reason! hahaha)
Why not?
But the problem’s that I am terribly afraid of needles
It scares the living soul out of me
For real!
While I was looking around
I saw Jacqueline donating, one of the first few to do so actually

Hahaha the fella looks happy

I almost fainted when I saw this

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That’s not a black tube
It’s BLOOD!

After seeing that, it took me 2 hours to decide
I was shaking and shivering the entire time
With Reshma lying on my right, donating for God knows how many times already, Jeremy standing on my left, filming (that fellaaaaaa) me, Ashreena hovering right above/behind me (oh she zoomed off after hearing about the Fly fm people outside the uni! oh Ashy!) and Nelson next to Ashreena
I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people right by my side
And I know I was being a super drama queen
Crying and laughing and also talking nonsense the whole time
But those people actually put up with me!
When the nurse was inserting the needle, oh my goodness!
And I was talking to Reshma the whole time about some stupid thumb drive thing which didn’t even make much sense
But she went along with my gibberish anyway!
What a friend!
Apparently they said my blood flowed out pretty quick
Jeremy even has a video of it!
I think he’s gonna use it to blackmail me somehow
Because I was crying and laughing like super awfully
So after they took away my blood (MY BLOOD’S RED MAN! I used to think like I am some sort of an alien and my blood’s probably blue. don’t ask me, of all colours, why blue. I am afraid I cannot answer you. to me, it’s always been blue )
I had always thought I am not healthy enough to donate anything, especially blood
I have this intention of donating organs but I am terribly afraid I might be unfit to do so since I don’t eat healthy
And in the end, the people are probably gonna take out all my organs, only to find them all spoilt or something
Then throw them back into my body and let my body burn or something like that
Oh well I am gonna go fill up those forms to donate soon when I have the time
With my mom probably, or Reshma!
But I told her about my intention of donating my organs already lah so if something happens to me then she knows what to do
She told me the same too so haha yah
Anyway in my opinion, I think peeling the plaster out is even more painful than poking the needles into your flesh
It’s crazily painful I tell you!
If you got a lot of bulu, suey lar
Anyway, after the blood donation, I am so so tired I feel dead like 80% of the time
Even like right now
I get cold like super easily
It’s raininng outside now and guess what?
I am shivering like MAD now
Oh my gosh I want something warm to drink
I can’t even feel my fingers

2009-01-07T00:21:00.000+08:00

Spent my Christmas with my family in JB then Singapore then JB
Wasn’t exactly Christmas celebration
We attended a wake then funeral
Yeah it wasn’t all fun actually
But in the end what mattered was the company of family members

My cousin Joel doing the badminton dance

Judy being shy and Yvonne being pretty, as always

Told you I rock badminton =)

And we cannot live a day without Ben & Jerry’s in Singapore, courtesy of our really awesome cousins, Stephanie and Adeline

Oh Yvonne is shy out of a sudden

The super damn friggin’ expensive Christmas cake
SGD 60 I think

Our loot from Daiso
That’s one of the many other plastic bags =)

National Geographic has a shop in Vivocity!

A fish fossil

I took this while half walking half running
Not bad leh the lighting

Omg I SO wanted to buy these stuffs okay!
Super cool
And expensive =(

These are even more expensive

The clouds cantik kan?

At Clementi, people cucuk clothes out like that, which I find uhm… fascinating?

At Fish & Co.

Look at how much Judy was eating

Jamie and Stephanie

Yvonne is unpredictable

The adults

The not-so-young-anymore kids

Anson and Joel, wearing almost the same stuffs

Ahh that was my Christmas I guess
Should I cut my hair? =)

2009-01-04T10:25:00.000+08:00

Around Christmas time, Stephanie, Yvonne, Judy and I sent our sister/cousin Adeline to Changi Airport at 1am in the morning

I saw their carparks
Very cool okay
Singapore not enough land but they not kiam siap in giving extra space for parking
Stephanie said it’s for people’s trolleys

First thing that caught my attention
Chocolates!

And more chocolates!!

Their ceiling is very very cool too

Look closer =)

The funny part is the extra 7 bucks
Stephanie said it’s some GST thing or something like that
As in tax

2008-12-25T15:26:00.000+08:00

This is how bored I have gotten since the holiday break
(But I am enjoying every single minute of it)
So I am gonna blog about my friends in HELP =)

This is Aimi
I got to really know her in Sociology class(which I am sure you know by now that I really dislike Sociology, with a high chance of flunking it)
She was my group mate, or rather, group leader for our Sociology assignment, as she did most of the work for everyone
I was so stupid on the day before the due date for the assignment that I left my laptop charger in my aunt’s house so I only managed to copy and paste 3 pages of stuffs and had to send it to her using unstable wireless connection before my laptop goes poof (talk about doing things last minute)
I know it’s a lame reason
But it was worse for Aimi as she continued to finish the assignment til 5am that she overslept and missed the first class of the day
Sorry!
Oh and she went to Deutschland for 3 years?
And she misses that country so much she wants to go back again, and she did a while ago

This is Anna!
MALACCAN!!!
Studying Psychology
Got to know her through Mei-Lyn’s blog as Anna Banana hahaha
She is also Jonathan Teo’s girlfriend, apparently
And Jon’s my primary and secondary school friend
So one day, I bumped into her unexpectedly and went “oh my gawd! you’re from Malacca right? Anna right? Mei-Lyn’s friend right? Jonathan Teo’s girlfriend? from MGS?”
And the whole while she was staring at me like I was some really really cuckoo nuts stalker or something
Hahahaha it was so funny
But she was kinda cool about it after that
I even told her I am not a stalker for three times in a row

Ashy Baby!
Her real name is Ashreena
She is actually the oldest among us but then somehow everyone calls her Ashy Baby
In fact, she’s the first friend I got on the day of orientation so yeah
And she was the first to actually let me sit beside her =)
Also, she is the person everyone can really talk to because she offers really mature and good advices
And most of the time, she’s right
Oh and she’s from Johor Bahru!
The most geng-est is that she worked in NST before and she’s so super experienced okay!

Got to know Betsy from LAN class, through Priscilla
The first time I talked to her was on her birthday
And guess what she got from friends?
A pillow!
Omg so cute right?
Not those soft toy kinda pillow, it’s those not so small, rectangular kind
And it smells like lavender or something
I don’t know about you but I find that really cute and funny

We call him Chan but his full name is Chan Hoi CHeong
Apparently, he’s a women-hater and ang-moh-hater, we found out
Melissa told us he said that he wishes to destroy every woman on earth and send Andre (an ang moh friend from New Zealand) back to where he came from and rear sheeps
But he’s still one of us
Even if he wants to kill me, aahhh whatever lar
At least he takes care of my bags when I go to the toilet or buy breakfast =)

This is Shi Yunn
She’s also my Sociology group mate and she’s from Johor Bahru too!
We bonded over kuey tiao kia
And we type in Mandarin on MSN hehehe
So it’s kinda fun
And she’s really blur sometimes
She’s especially funny when she goes like “HAR?? REALLY ARR?? AIYO!!”

Christine!!
She is the ultimate fashion stylist!
I am so not kidding
She dresses up really well
And very creative too
The first time we went to FOS, she went into the fitting room with me and I was like “wth?”
Actually I was the sua ku/jakun one because like, I had never been into a fitting room with anyone, except my sisters and mom
She and Melanie were laughing at me like what only…
But yeah she’s really nice to talk to as she talks a lot sometimes
The first time I met her was during some briefing thingie or something
She lost her pencil box and asked whether we had seen it or not
I forgot what really happened after that
But while we were choosing our subjects to take for the semester, she joined us and then we formed a wonderfully close-knit group of friends =)
Oh and also, her favourite thing to say is “super champion”
Now almost everyone uses “super champion” too

This is Esmeralda, from MALACCA!!
I like this picture by the way
Anyway, if you guys know Flavia, then well, when Flavia came to Malaysia, Esme went to Brazil
Exchange student mah!
So right, I kinda gave her a shock too when I first talked to her
I was like “hey you’re Esmeralda right? you went to Brazil and exchanged with Flavia one right?”
She was like, “yeeeeeaaahhh?”
Hehehe I think I am pretty good in giving others the impression that I am some sort of stalker or something
Anyway, she could possibly be my housemate if my parents let me stay out of relatives’ houses

Esmeralda and Anna
(Malaccans special, extra photo! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

Mr Jia Liang
Aka Mr Emo
Uhh guess that’s about it?
Hahahaha
Joking lar!
He said I am very friendly!
Because I was the first person to shake his hand and introduced myself to him
Thinking back, it was kinda funny
He is pretty nice about sending us back home or to Bangsar to have lunches occasionally

Joanna is this really tall and pretty beauty
And she seems to love haircuts a lot?
Hehehe =p
I have never seen her wearing a pair of long jeans or anything
She seems to have too many skirts!

This is Karina and she’s from Kalimantan
Right?
Okay I am not sure
Anyway, I know I am being mean but her English accent is really really cute!
Always bump into her at all kinds of places

Kudzie and Kuda are ADP students
Both sisters but not twins from Zimbabwe
When Kuda first introduced herself, she was like, “I am not a horse”
Hahahaha so funny can!
Kuda is friendlier in some ways but overall they are really sweet people

I got to know Lordson in LAN class
He is Christine’s long time friend and I realised he seems to enjoy taking photos of himself in public toilets while I was going through his Facebook to find a picture for this post
Like Christine, he has his own “phrase” too!
Which is, “awesome possum”
Or however that word is spelled

I found Mae Sau rushing her design assignment one day in MBE (the place we get free Milo)
I was rushing too
We chatted a bit here and there and later I found out her name is Michelle Wong Mae Sau
I was so surprised as her name sounds almost the same as Laura’s
Laura’s name is Wong May Siu Laura (like mine, her English name is at the back too)
While naming Laura, my mom wanted to name her Michelle, my dad wanted Laura
My dad won, again (I was supposed to be a Sarah)
And the creepiest part is that Mae’s Chinese name is “Mei Siu”
Laura’s Chinese name is “Mei Sau”
Less than three days later I bumped into Mae at SS2’s pasar malam, while I was with my sisters
Anyway, I think she actually looks like my cousin Cheryll Wong, especially the lips part

Melanie and her boyfriend, Wan Kit
I cannot possibly post a photo of Melanie without her boyfriend (right Mel? sorry for the birthday post Wan Kit, if you’re reading this!)
Hahahahahhaha
They are inseperable!
Seriously, no kidding!!
She’s from Johor Bahru and she once stayed over at my house in Malacca before following my family and I to JB the next day
It was pretty fun but the morning before we left for JB, I overslept til like 11 or 12, she woke up at 8 but dare not wake me up even when she was starving mad!
I stayed over her place in Kelana Jaya on my birthday night as I did not want to go back to my aunt’s house because I did not want them to celebrate my birthday for me (I mean, everyone also got birthday lar! I prefer Christmas as everyone gets to celebrate, right?)
Also, I think she is kinda crazy that she is actually studying and working part time at Starbucks
I mean, she’s always so exhausted!
She will always be a superwoman to me, just like my mom
Or maybe I’m just lousy =(

Melissa!!
Sometimes it’s kinda hard to differentiate when someone calls either Melissa or Melanie “Mel”
Anyway she rather marry her dog, Chester, than Chan
Hehehe
They are both like some sort of enemy or something
She’s in my Sociology gang together with Ashy and Patty
So we used to spend 4 hours of free time every Thursday before Sociology class
Did I mention how much she loves her dog?
Oh I am sure Ashreena would appreciate the fact that I am telling you she is as young as Ashy =)

Nelson How
He has the funniest surname ever and I constantly go like
“Eh Nelson, How?”
He loves Tony Romo
Opps I mean Tony Roma, or something along that line lar
I dah lupa la dei! pa la ko jangan marah saya (he speaks like that to me sometimes when he’s in the mood)
Anyway he works in a shisha shop in Sri Hartamas and he never fails to invite us over to the shop whenever there’s some event or whatsoever
But sorry to say that none of us is interested in either shisha or local music lar
Hahah!

Patricia!
We call her Patty most of the time
I always get confused between Patty and Melissa
I think they somehow look alike?
And Patricia sounds like a name that kinda suits Melissa and vice versa
That’s just my opinion but they both find it absurd!
Hehehe
Oh and she likes to make fun of my “oopsie doodles”, but she calls it “oopsie du du”
Does “doodles” sound like “du du” to you?
Hahahah she cracks me up a lot

Priscilla is Christine’s childhood friend and I tell you…
She is soooo pretty and sweet!
Oh I got to know her through LAN too
Whenever she’s able, she used to give Christine, Melanie and I rides back home or to The Curve or One Utama, depending on where we (especially Christine and Melanie!) wanna go after LAN

Reshma is the second person I got to know after Ashreena
The first time I tried to take the bus from Uptown, I was very lost, Reshma was behind me all the while as my uncle tried to explain to me how to go to uni by bus (he himself was not too sure about it)
Reshma saw and we got into the bus and we sat together (I did not notice her at all, talk about being blur as usual)
Then as I saw some African students getting down at some bus stop, I wanted to follow them but she stopped me (then only I realised she was sitting beside me)
And told me that it’s not the right stop so I said okay and followed her after that
Apparently she saw the file I was holding and knew what course I’m studying and where I was heading to and coincidentally she’s taking the same course as I am
Through her, I got to know Melanie
And after that, our “gang” grew (probably the gang with the largest amount of “members” in all of our classes)
By the way, she is a strict vegetarian so we kinda feel bad whenever we go for lunches together as she would sometimes just sit with us while we eat =(
Oh yeah, she’s super champion in doing public speaking!
And guess how old is she?
18!!

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!!
xoxo
♥♥

2008-12-10T00:45:00.000+08:00

I was playing with my mom’s 3 year old nephew (aka my cousin)
And he showed me this book

I flipped inside
And I saw this

Jamie and Joel are my dad’s niece and nephew (aka my cousins)
Then right below that cute little “Huppy Birthday” was this

Esther, Eunice and Enoch are my dad’s sister’s husband’s sister’s kids (aka my cousins’ cousins)
Hahaha I know it sounds complicated but it’s not actually
So cute right?
A book can be passed around and around like that

Oh one weekend I went back to Malacca and the first thing I requested from my family was to eat Asam Laksa
Thanks to Melanie who kept reminding me about it

Then Laura was in the mood for baking
And so she made this cake
Her main intention was to decorate a cake actually haha

Then on the way to KL, near Pudu, I saw this

Kena loan sharks’ red paint
Kesian

Oh!
Every time I walk from the bus stop to my aunt’s house, I see these flowers

Very nice right?
If I have the chance, I am so gonna plant this type of flower around my house!

Oh then another weekend, when I reached Melaka Sentral
And I saw like super many policemen around the place
I thought got what
Then as I walked out of the entrance, I saw like these Indonesian women squatting at the entrance

And took a picture of it =p

Oh my birthday “cake” from my beloved sister

Though it is not the nicest “cake”, I so ♥ it as my sister took like 3 or 4 hours making them
Without my help =)
Oh well, she doesn’t need me anyway!

On 28th November, my relatives from KL, JB and Canada came to Malacca
And we brought them to my favourite asam laksa place, again =)
(Judy cannot get enough of the chendol there)

Judy did not even eat any noodles or anything like that (or even my favourite asam laksa!!)
She took two bowls of chendol and called it a meal

After that we went to MP and watched these people sing Christmas songs
My guess is that they are from St. Peter’s church because I recognised the music teacher from my Form 6 high school and Natalia told me he’s from St. Peter’s
And I forgot his name
(Bet Natalia remembers his name, her memory power like super geng one)

He’s the one in black on the right, he is so plump, you can easily spot him =p

Aaaaahhh… and the meal that gave us days and days of diarrhea?!

At Sibaraku
I am so not kidding, that place is probably where we all got our sickness from
The only two who did not get any sickness were Laura and Anson
Because, apparently, they did not eat the mussels
And I did
A LOT of mussels in fact
A LOT A LOT

After Sibaraku we walked over to the jetty and had a karaoke session there

If you can’t see, that’s Yvonne from the left, then Laura, Judy and Clara

That’s Reshma, the youngest among my college friends in KL

Ooohh…
Cheesy wedges!
My favourite food in uni these days during my last few days of my first semester

Love it!
Less than 4 bucks, sooooooooo cheesy (I ask for extra cheese) and the jelakness actually, kinda makes you full!

Our favourite hang out place. Mail Boxes

They provide me my daily hourly, unlimited dose of Milo, for free!
But they charge us a lot for printing stuffs though
Like all our design projects

Oh speaking of design
Here’s the last project I did

Look at the side!
I love that part
But sadly it doesn’t count lar even if I do “so nice” =D

Then my JB and Canada relatives went over to KL and I saw this at 1U’s Zara
I know it’s for little girls, but the tutu’s so adorable!

Oh and roughly 10metres from where we were, we saw Marion Caunter
She’s probably one of the most poised local celebrity I have seen so far

Hahaha then came the day we got lost between two restaurants
Here’s the story if you’re interested
I find it extremely hilarious
So there were three cars going to Taman Paramount for dinner
Then somehow, we kids young adults, were in the car Joel’s driving
He tried to cut all the traffic jams by taking all the short cuts and passed by many housing estates so we were kinda like the first to reach Taman Paramount
The other two cars, filled with adults (and also not forgetting two kids, Yvonne and Judy), were way behind us
So Joel called Judy and asked which restaurant we’re supposed to go to
Somehow Joel heard “Lucky Restaurant”, so we went round and round the shoplots hunting for a parking spot
Then he decided to drop us at the restaurant while he continues to search for a parking space
Mana tahu, the moment he stopped right in front of the restaurant, the workers there removed a chair which was blocking an empty parking spot (obviously, reserved for customers only)
So we were very happy and Joel parked there and we got out of the car and into the restaurant
The restaurant lao pan niang asked how many of us so I said 18
Immediately 2 red cloths were laid down on two different tables and we sat down on one and there were waiters putting plates and tablewares and then two plates of peanuts were placed in front of us and we starting munching on peanuts while waiting for the rest to come
Roughly 15 minutes later, no one came so Joel called his mom and she said it’s another restaturant!
Hahahaha
I was laughing my lungs out by then
As the others had trouble conversing with the Cantonese/Mandarin speaking lao pan niang, I told her we came the wrong restaurant
It was so embarrassing!
She then charged us 4 bucks for the peanuts and Pamela paid for it
And they grabbed the remaining peanuts and walked out of the restaurant
Hahahaha
After that we walked over to the correct restaurant (called Loong Foong Restaurant, which I have no idea how Joel and Judy managed to come up with “Lucky”) and I had this!

Octopus!
I finished the entire bowl meant for like 10 people
Yummm!!

Oh those two super hairy legs belong to Pamela’s Irish boyfriend, Paddy (I think it’s actually Patty, as his real name is Patrick but then with those Irish accent, any word is possible) and Joel

Yvonne the sexay laydeh after bath
Hahahahahaha

After that we had erm… Lohs as supper

This is Strawberry Loh!

Kiwi Loh!

Mango Loh!

Hehehe according to the menu, these are called Lohs

And there was this thing called “Ham Chin Band”
We asked Patty whether he dare to try the “band” or not
He said no =(

Paddy using chopsticks!

Oh and The Curve got Daiso!!
RM 5 for everything
But it’s not open yet when I was there last weekend with my family =(
Omg I so cannot wait for it to open can!?!
The only two things I look forward to go Singapore are
1. Visit my aunt’s grave
2. Go Vivocity’s Daiso!
Now that KL got Daiso, I am so happy!
Oh Malacca also got one useless Daiso, but their stuffs imported from China one
So lousy
The true Daiso right, their stuffs must be from Japan one okay!

Oh this is the medicine I have to take to reduce acid in my stomach
Looks a lot like Liquid Paper, but taste like, well, medicine loh
Apparently I am having some gastric problems and I keep getting gastric every hour
My dad thinks it’s because I had irregular meals while in KL so everything went upside down (I almost type “my body went upside down)
And when the doctor “listened” to my insides (haha I know it’s not listen lar… she used don’t know what blablascope or something, I am not a science student anymore, so you can’t blame me), she said “whoa bloated stomach huh?”
Hehehe
And all this while I thought I always had too much food that’s why my stomach like super huge
And I was actually thinking about eating Zentel (who knows inside got worms right!)

Phew!
That’s a long long post eh?

2008-11-18T21:50:00.000+08:00

Oh. My. Gawd.
Those three words just kept going on in my head for the past 2 hours
Guess what I witnessed today?
A crime
Like, fer real man
If you people lazy to read, just read this part okay?
Don’t ever take a taxi with the number plate HWC 1192 or H *something* 1142, it’s a Proton Iswara red-red kind one
Okay?
Seriously

Didn’t plan to blog about this as I am having loadsa assignments lining up =(
What happened today was, after my uncle picked me up from my aunt’s house, we went to SS17 for some merry go round while waiting for his wife to finish work
As my uncle was about to turn into this playground place, there was a taxi, a red taxi, a moving but not exactly moving taxi, basically it’s moving lar but it’s not going anywhere that kinda moving, blocking the road, like right in the middle kind
The first thing that came to my mind was that some people having *ahem*, you know what in there lar
But then as I looked closer (as you already know very well, I am super darn kepoh one), it wasn’t what I expected to be
THERE WAS SOMEONE HITTING ANOTHER PERSON AT THE BACK SEAT OF THE TAXI!!!
I was like, OMGOMGOMG and my mouth was like hanging wide open
The man (yeah 100% a man) was like *tumbuk* *tumbuk* *tumbuk* *tumbuk* *tumbuk*
Like it’s stuffing a doll’s mouth with his giant fist (okay this is my own imagination)
But judging by the arm, the man sure is huge
Okay for Malacca friends, hmmm… I don’t think there are any guys I know in Malacca who is buff and like, really huge
Maybe Liang Yi? (only my badminton kakis know him)
Bigger than Felix Pang, kinda like Jason Pang (but more mus-kels and probably taller)
For KL friends, he’s like George Zachariah kinda buff
Then when a motorcyclist was about to turn into the narrow street, my uncle winded down the car window and told him someone is hitting another and urged him not to turn in there
Surprisingly, the guy nodded his head and went ahead despite my uncle’s warning
At first I thought the guy wanted to stop the meanie
MANA TAHU!!
He just went straight and ignored the taxi, he didn’t even look inside!!
I was like THIS close to getting down the car to knock on the taxi’s window or something, so that the person would stop doing whatever he was doing
But I knew my uncle would stop me and I don’t ever want to make him angry or worry or anything like that
So my uncle decided to move to the other side of the road
I asked him whether he has any police station numbers or something
He was like, better not campur tangan
I was like, BUT… BUT!!!
Then another motorcyclist passed by the narrow street
He honked at the taxi!
I was like, YAYY!!!
The next thing I know, an Indonesian/Philippino girl was on the road and the taxi driver sped off, just like that
She looked like she just went through something really crazy, she looked lost too
And I thought I saw blood, but maybe it was her shoes, or maybe it was just red shoes, I don’t know!
Then I kept asking my uncle to call the police or something but he said the police won’t help much as they would say things like, “jangan bagi saya kerja” that kinda thing
I don’t know whether I did the right thing for letting him go off just like that
I feel like I witnessed a crime and I am still keeping my mouth shut (oh wait, I am telling you this so it’s not exactly keeping my mouth shut right?)

After the incident, I lagi feel like studying in Malacca
Even if I have to study law =(
Damn scary wei this place
I am still traumatised okay
Like every two minutes I think about it
Few times I even imagined I was the one in the car getting punched like mad

Oh my uncle said it’s probably because they girl didn’t have money to pay him so he punched her
But I am still thinking, where got people because of few dollars, go punch a girl like the girl just killed his entire family like that one?
I know lar, the economy is getting worse day by day or something but, no need like that one mah right

Yvonne sent me this last night
When we were much much younger
From left: Laura, Judy, Yvonne, Clara and I (I look super retarded man)
The youngest grandchildren of the Wong family, excluding Anson

Last night Judy and I web cam-ed with Ciarra
She has grown so much since her last visit to Malaysia
And she loves singing 月亮代表我的心, obviously taught by her mother
And also Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
When she sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, she goes like, “Twinkle Twinkle Little *deep breath* STAAARRRRRR!!!”

Second time having Ramly burger, in my life

Not bad
I almost wanted to buy another one

My mom bought this long long time ago
The forth one is the best

Can’t wait to go back to Malacca to have more

Saw this on the way to my uncle’s house

Very nice right?

The most expensive breakfast ever
RM 2.10 for three miserable slices

Ashreena and Melissa at Little Vietnam, Mid Valley before Sociology class

Nelson’s favourite place

Tony Romo

The classroom we go to most of the time

On 4th of November, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., I almost wanted to die right on the spot
Had a presentation and it didn’t go well

Saw this on the bridge opposite Eastin Hotel
New car (seats with plastic wrapped) and kena scratched until like that
Poor thing

At Taman Perling, Johor Bahru after sending Melanie home

Judy loves this
Hahaha
Not
She looked like she was on the verge of vomiting it out

Karaoke on Deepavali night
We sang til 3 a.m. in the morning

Judy shy
Karaoke on Deepavali night
We sang til 3 a.m. in the morning

Yvonne’s favouritest thing on earth
Heehee
She’s super scared of dogs actually

One of the most obedient dog I’ve seen

Deepavali lunch over at cousin Su Ann’s house

Oh I cooked!
At my uncle’s house, very delicious okay I tell you first, don’t diss my cooking okay?
Especially with the help of Campbell’s
Hehehee

Oh very nice right?
70 bucks!
Then they give you 10 cents
Didn’t buy though
I’ve gone kiam siaper these days

Mad jam in front of Eastin Hotel

To people who have asked me to straighten my hair chemically, this is how my hair would turn out to be after a few months

My Patty cakes who is very very fascinated by my water bottle which I bring to uni everyday

You can tell she loves it

And the cheapest meal I’ve had so far in uni
RM 3.40 only!
With at least 5 prawns there okay!

Christine’s
RM 0.80
No joke

2008-10-10T21:38:00.000+08:00

The first birthday celebration I had with my uni mates
So yesterday was Nelson’s birthday
Yeah I purposely post this one minute later because he said few days ago that it’s not a special day

Melanie and Noslen (curi from Melanie lar)

The pretty Joanna (Reshma calls her bimbo, straight to her face, don’t know why) and Melanie (guys, don’t drool okay? I know both girls are hot)

The “bus virgin”, Jia Liang on the left
Look at the Malay lady beside Noslen

The chatterboxes
Ashreena and Reshma

Coincidentally we went to Chatterbox hk for lunch
Christine (go get a handkerchief already! saliva dripping like mad think I don’t know eh! hahaha) and Jia Liang

Reshma looks clueless here

Ashreena and I
They call her “sexy baybeh”
No idea why either
I feel so outdated sometimes with all the names they give each other man

2008-10-03T18:41:00.000+08:00

The happiest face to start things off =)

So!
My uncles and auntie and grandma decided to give us a surprise visit from JB
The first surprise was from my uncle, my auntie and grandma

So I brought them jalan jalan for a few hours
Then the moment we reached home
Another uncle and his family just reached
Even my grandma was surprised
So yeah, Vonnie, you guys are great at giving surprises

Then we went to the playground opposite my house
According to Yvonne, it’s a park (instead of playground)

What a nice brother
Not!
Hahaha
Anson trying to get Yvonne’s swingswing

So little sister had no choice
Went to join daddy and uncle instead
For football
Poor girl

Oh and then they walked away =(
And left her alone
Nah!
Just kidding!
Hahaha

The brothers

And a sister

Oh hey people, guess which one is my dad! (if you have not met my dad before lar)

Known as one of the most mischievous one
So this was pretty typical

After that we went for satay celup

My grandma didn’t eat because she thought it was yucky
Hahahaha

We went for a round of porridge and some other stuffs after that beside the Melaka river
Then we decided to go for a “cruise”

People cleaning the river

My favourite part of the cruise because the lights were just so pretty!

I found this in Jac’s Facebook and it’s just too pretty to not post it up
So Jac, permission granted? =P

From Yvonne’s camera

This too

Aaahhh
The morning after, my room
Even Anson came into my room and bunked in with the rest of us girls
Pure fun
Hahaha
I love my room messy like that
Sadly, my mom doesn’t =(

Oh hmmm weirdly, my late aunt was the one who bought all the bed sheets (the blue one, the yellow one, the pink one) for us

Then, the KL PJ people came!
The auntie and her family whom I stay with occasionally when I study in KL
Seriously it was so so fun I had not been this happy for a long long time already

So we brought them to makan chicken rice balls

I didn’t take the foods’ photos
My dear cousin Yvonne did
I mean, why would a Malaccan who makan these like every Saturday take photos right?

After lunch, the JB people had to leave for home =(

Don’t we all hate farewells?

So after the Johoreans left, we went Jonker Street
We had the usual stuffs
Too hungry to take photos

Then as I was walking along the bridge, I saw this man in the Melaka river
I was like, what on earth was he doing man?
I mean the river’s so dirty

Apparently he was catching some dunno what stuffs in the river with a basket
Gold?
Kerang?
Hahaha
Don’t know lar

Oh and he saw me taking pictures of him so he waved and I waved back and then I gave him a thumb up
He waved back and he gave me a thumb up too
Then the other people beside me waved at him also and he looked jolly happy

After Jonker Street we went to some don’t-know-how-to-explain-place in Melaka Raya and bought slices of super duper expensive cakes
The shop is called Nadeje
I makan also sakit hati because it was super expensive
Oh while waiting for the cake to be don’t know what (I mean, the cakes were already there in the glass shelf thingie, but it took them like hours to prepare for us to pack the slices back! Jamie told me later that they wanted to used dry ice to don’t know what the cakes), we went to a satay shop nearby while waiting and had pineapple sauce satay (don’t ask me to explain, because I don’t know how, but it’s really nice lar, the satay I mean and the kuah)

The PJ peeps

I just realised that’s all, the photos that I took I mean
Without Yvonne, I tak semangat to take photos eh!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of proper explanation and also spelling or grammatical errors
I’m kinda stuck with words these few days

Plus to my uni mates, please don’t kill me for blogging and not doing my assignments!
I did
One and a half, in fact
So blogging is my reward for finishing one and a half =)

p/s Thanks Yvonne, courtesy of some of your photos!

2008-09-23T23:42:00.000+08:00

I remember the time we had our last conversation over the phone
I was sitting at the study table
And what was I doing prior to answering her long distance phone call from Singapore
She asked me, “What are you doing?”
Twirling the phone cord with my index finger, I answered happily, and proudly, “I’m reading the dictionary! I’m skipping to “P” because “A” is really boring”
I rolled my eyes to the right when I said “really boring”
Thought she would be proud, reading the dictionary I mean
At least I was doing something productive, for once
And not slacking at home doing nothing
She didn’t sound happy
She asked sternly, “Have you found out about the university that you are going to spend the next few years studying at?”
I was stuck
I didn’t do my research
I felt my face burning
I was embarrassed with my ignorant attitude
She sounded angry for a while
But then she said softly, “You know arrhh, you cannot be like this all the time you know? Be responsible and do what you’re supposed to do. You are a big sister and you have to set good examples to your sisters.”
I told her whatever that I knew at that time, about the university
But she had heard them all
Because she had asked so many times
And all I gave to her, the same answers
I knew she was mad
I was mad at myself, too
I felt so useless
I gave her excuses, like I always did
I said daddy didn’t wanna travel all the way to KL just to LOOK at the university, and I wasn’t lying
My dad hates the KL traffic
She said she’s gonna lecture my dad about it
I don’t think she had the chance to do so
Maybe she did
But I bet my dad would give the world to hear her nags and lectures again
But we can’t do anything now
We HAVE to let go
But can we?
I doubt so
I doubt I will ever be able to let go
I remember when I said I intended to go to HELP
She was like, “What??”
Hahahaha
She had never heard of a university with such a funny name
And she was asking whether it’s an abbreviation of some sort, but I couldn’t give her any answers
Because I didn’t do any research which she had asked me to months ago
After some nagging, she asked me whether I need anything for university
I said it’s alright, there’s nothing I need
She offered to buy me a laptop, so I could save money on phone bills by web-cam-ing or Skype-ing with my family
I knew she would get the best of the best for me
That’s how she was to us
But my dad promised me a laptop already so I told her so
She then said how about something else?
I kept saying no
So she kinda gave up
But still, she wanted me to write down a wish list, like a Christmas wish list to her
So she could get me everything that I want
The thing is I don’t like people buying things for me
It’s just not me
Because I feel guilt after that
Plus she was having chemo treatments
I didn’t want to add more burden to her financially
Not that she had any problems financially
I just didn’t want her to spend on me
It’s not like I couldn’t afford a laptop or anything like that
I told her happily, “I can always get money from my winnings! No worries KuMa, don’t worry about me!”
I was really chirpy because she sounded quite tired and exhausted
She always sounded tired
So I was hoping I could lift her mood up a bit with my chirpiness (if there’s such word)
She told me sternly again, “Stop winning things from radio stations or whatever stations, concentrate in your studies, things you win now are only for your temporary happiness, it’s not long term, achieving success is what that will bring you long term happiness. When you start studying, I don’t want you to win things anymore okay?”
I answered her half heartedly, saying, “uh-huh, uh-huh”
I wasn’t listening
The cord got tangled up
I tried to untangle it
By the time I finished untangling it
She was ready to take a nap
I knew what she said about the winning things thing
But I just didn’t bother to give her any good answers or any promises that I would stop winning things
Because I don’t like to give empty promises
That’s why I said “uh-huh”
Then I told her to take care and that I love her, like I always did, and always will whenever I talk to her in my heart nowadays

The thing is
The last time I won something was on 31st July
I don’t remember what day we had this last conversation
I think it’s some time around early August
All I know now is that it’s our last
That’s why I decided to write it down
So I will never forget it

My dad wants me to forget our KuMa in the coffin
Because she didn’t look like our beloved KuMa, at all, which is true
But I don’t want to
Not because I can’t
It’s because I don’t want to forget anything about her

I regret not talking or calling her more often when I had the chance
I feel like such a loser now

And I miss her so much

2008-09-20T22:13:00.000+08:00

I love Wisma E&C

Because they give us free and unlimited Milo!

And Mocha

And Teh Tarik

And White Coffee

And Espresso

And some other kinds

But I only take Milo

Milo rocks

I took four cups in less than 12 hours’ time!

Hehehe

Here’s the awesome little machine!

Yeah I burned my tongue and my cup of Milo was tasteless after that

Right outside 1 Utama
These people actually queued up just to press buttons from some little gadgets while staring at the TV screen

Christine’s “Bahasa Cina”
Hahaha
She’s hilarious

Oh I saw this man walking around pasting up dai yi long’s posters at the bus stop I go everyday
First time seeing it
Call me sua ku

At Bukit Jalil LRT station
I tell you
It was a super long queue
Longer than this
Obviously the queue couldn’t fit into my camera lar duh

Derek!!
Miss ya dude!
Have fun with Emma Watson!
Bring her back, soon!

Oh goodness gracious
This place is HEAVEN

Was in MPH
That’s my granduncle in the Malaysia’s Book of Records!!
Just met his wife like few hours ago
She’s the most hyper and most hilarious popo I’ve ever met
Even my cousins agree so!

TWO records!!

2008-09-13T22:15:00.000+08:00

So more than a week has passed
To say I’m over it already, would be lying
The whole family is still mourning
Judy said grandma is depressed and is not well
I’ve never seen my dad this sad in my life
My aunt’s husband and daughters (I think the daughters too) just bought tickets and went to Canada today just so they could take their minds of things
I actually caught my KL aunt crying in her room
The only way to stop myself from crying is to tell myself that, she’s not really gone, I try to think that she’s still alive and kickin’, just that she doesn’t have much time to call me
But my dad said that’s not healthy
Who cares?
I was suspected of dengue because of super high fever for the past 5 days
I even vomited like mad (third time in my life, minus those baby pukeroos, of course.)
What can be worse right?

2008-09-06T23:06:00.000+08:00

Miss Pei Chze in Mr Kane Tan’s shoes, literally

This season’s latest trend

First time seeing dragon fruit on a tree
I thought dragon fruits come from plastic bags (haha..kidding!)

Ooooooh
Sheryl’s got the prettiest flowers!

Pretty right?
Even some leaves were yellow, just like the flowers!

Mr Ling, the fire starter (sounds like some superhero with fire starting abilities)

Mr Kane, the ever hardworking one who cooked most of the food that night (see, I bagi you credit already, happy now?)

Mr Ling did a lot more cooking though

See, they didn’t stop their barbecuing job, such kind souls

And Mr Desmond Yong, the fan-er, HAHAHAHA (joking joking!! everyone did their part that day, except me, oh wait, I helped! I helped you people finish as much chicken wings as I could! not to forget the sausages too! hahahaha… and Sheryl saw my tummy k!)

Sheryl’s neighbour got a Ferrari (right?)

If only the owner let us test drive eh?

Miss Sheryl with the bottle of ketchup that almost took the spotlight

Oh I think it kinda did
Sorry lar Sheryl, the bottle of ketchup’s brighter

Mr Teng Siang is one of a kind
You know why?

That’s how he cucuk-ed the sausages

Marshmallows are my fav!

Bread kiap ice cream bakar

Mr Ling with his super bakar skills

Mr Jason Pang with his sausage

The mahjong people

Mr Felix Pang in stripes

Miss PC Leong with her bread kiap ice cream bakar

I love this photo
See the similarity?
Look closer!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

The liquor that smells like toothpaste
Camie said like Kodomo Lion
I just think it’s like toothpaste

I went home after 2 a.m.
Some sorta record or something seriously

2008-09-06T22:16:00.000+08:00

Well, on 4th of September, she went to a better and happier place
Filled with white clouds
Surrounded by those who went before her
Like my grandfather and the rest
I know she is happy now, I just do
Also, she’s not suffering anymore
It’s just that I’m still finding it hard to believe that she’s not here with us anymore
It seems like it was just yesterday that she talked to me, and asked me what I need for university
I remember I kept saying I don’t need anything but she insisted on me to write her an email about my wish list
I did, but I didn’t exactly tell her what I need
Because I didn’t need anything
But she didn’t manage to read my email to her
What I really need now, is her guidance

Yvonne was telling me how she used to care so so much for me
How she would call the Johoreans and ask how, Sandra, the Malaccan, doing
Whether she studied
Whether she’s okay
Seriously, every time I think of her and what she did for ALL of us, I can’t control my tears
She cared so much for me (and I bet she still does, high up in heaven) and I don’t know what I did to deserve someone as amazing as her
Of all aunties, this aunt called me the most, talked to me the most, and taught me the most, so basically she was the aunt whom I was closest with

This aunt of mine
It’s not easy to describe her in just one sentence
Or even a paragraph of praises
Because she’s much much more than that
She’s the ultimate definition of “great”
I’m not saying that just because she’s gone and that I should say nice things about her or because she’s my aunt
But because she really was the greatest person I’ve ever ever known
Not exaggerating, seriously
To look on the bright side, she’s not suffering anymore and she’s definitely in a better place
But I really do miss her a lot
Seeing her lying in her coffin is the worst feeling ever
It’s like we’re being separated already
I don’t know what I would do when they lower her coffin deep into the ground on Sunday

She did so so many wonderful things for others
And she sacrificed herself for countless amount of people
But she did not expect anything in return
Take my case for instance, she called me so often and what she really want from me is to do my best in everything
I remember I used to cry my eyes out before my STPM
She asked me to go through it
Even if I don’t do well, she wanted me to know that I did my best
Sadly, I did not do my best
She was disappointed because she had high expectations, especially from me

She was a teacher
During her wake, many of her ex-students came by and I managed to talk to some of them
They said she was a great teacher
I even heard that she chose the lousy schools to teach
Just so she could make a difference
Though I’ve never been taught in class by her
She taught all of us, the Wong family and many many others how to strive for the better and how to do it, in a good way
And she also taught me many other things on how to be a better daughter and a responsible sister to my family members
Oh and a better cook too!
She knew I hated cooking
So she taught me how to cook simple dishes (though I still hate cooking up til now)

She was a sister
A great one at that
My dad and my grandmother always tell us stories about her, on how, being the second eldest with six other siblings, took care of the others when she had better and more important things like studying to do
She took great care of her siblings and even her cousins when she was young
And when she had nephews and nieces, she took care of them too, including me
Basically, without her, I wouldn’t be where and who I am now
Also, she had the sense of responsibility many people don’t have (ie. me?)
When she was really young, she would hold my youngest aunt in one arm and a book in another arm
That’s how she studied her way to success apparently

She was a mother
She gave the best to both her daughters, in terms of, well, many things
And look what they turned out to be!
An engineer and a lawyer

She was a aunt
Seriously, none of my cousins can deny that she was in fact the best aunt ever
I don’t know how to describe her love and care to all of us
She took charge of many things which she could have just ignored
But she did not
She knew what she could do and did whatever she could to help people

Okay I think I have more things to say about her
Because there’s so so much to say but I’m just so lost for words for now
Plus I’m exhausted
Right now, I need to think how not to cry in front of people because the wake is still going on and there’s a funeral in church on Sunday
My cousins and I gonna sing some songs that she enjoyed
I dunno how lah
I’m just scared I might cry in front of a huge crowd of people
I mean, she was a teacher
So basically there’s gonna be a huge crowd

2008-09-01T13:18:00.000+08:00

Off to Singapore
Pray hard
Hoping for a miracle

The coolest aunt in the world
And will continue to be one
She knows all the tricks of how students cheat in exams
Cool or what?
She rocks

2008-08-29T22:18:00.000+08:00

The cookie dough
The one Zach and the rest complained about
Also, Mei Lyn thought I should have put this dough in the oven for 100 minutes and not 10 minutes
Hahaha damn funny

Shopping spree with Chia Yen and Laura
That’s Chia Yen’s little school/shopping bag (I drove them around town after picking them up from school)
That was first round of goods
By the end of the day, that bag wasn’t even enough to put in everything we bought

The first pasar pagi I went to
At SS17
I’ve never seen this much meat at one place in my life man

The first meal I had without my parents in KL with me =(
I was very stunned that this cost like RM 3.80
If anyone ever attempt to sell a bowl of THAT in Malacca, gulung tikar already

My cousin’s stupid evil hamster did this to me
My finger bled like mad

Kinda hate it now
Just look at it’s eye
The evil stare

My first meal in the uni’s cafeteria (at least I treat it as the uni’s cafeteria, it might be some other random cafeteria or something)
Price – RM3.50
Not bad lar
I love the apple salad thingie though
Oh the soup thing right, the worker told me it’s nice and asked me to try and let me try a bit
I obliged and tasted it a bit
*yucky*
I smiled weakly and said it’s nice
AND PAID FOR IT
Like super sucky man I didn’t even finish it
I learned something that day
Pleasing people won’t make your life any easier sometimes
Just sometimes

Oh and this is my uni’s entrance!
The main block lar
And that’s Reshma’s head, just fyi =)

And that’s her hair
I love her hair man

And this is Melanie
And the police/patrol/whatever’s car

Oh I went to Pei Chze’s uni with Sheryl one day
The view from her room is damn nice lor
And she said, together with her housemates, they throw things out of the window occasionally and see whose items (ie. apples) reach the farthest, out of boredom
I wish I could do things like that too

OH and I saw this at a RapidKL bus
At first I really thought they put it that way
Then I realised someone peeled out some alphabets
“The Door To Gold”
Lee Chong Wei should have go through that door before the Olympics
Hahaha
Okay, I know, lame
People say I’ve gone lamer since I started studying in KL

One day we ran like 200m from our class to the cafeteria during a downpour
And it was raining like kittens and puppies, seriously
I’m not sure whether you can see my rain water soaked jeans
But I tell you, I was wet
Like totally wet

And yes, I do realise that’s a pair of really ugly beige flats
But it’s comfyyyyy, I think

Yayyy for apple salad!!

While waiting for the shuttle bus, I topped up my prepaid and those Hotlink Avril promoters were really, erm, hideous?
Sorry man but their wigs like a bit senget
Okay not a bit, very senget and eww lah

From left: Melissa (in green), Ashreena (in red with yellow backpack), Melanie (standing in front of Ash), Reshma (the tall pastel yellow one)

And the one in white with black bag is Patricia

The one day we decided to go to another place to eat
RM 4
Not bad

Okay so I was waiting for Reshma, Melissa and Patricia to photostat some stuffs
While waiting with Melanie at the Main Block of the uni, I took photos around the uni’s main block

Front
Melanie was talking to her bf who called from New Jersey (the one in pink sweater, sitting at the stairs)

Right
The word “Economics” scares me

Above

Left

No ground

So after that Reshma decided to do something good
She decided to donate blood
And I was feeling great that day
But I was not comfortable about getting my blood sucked though
I decided to go with her anyway, just to see how it’s like to donate blood
While I was there, I decided to donate too
I filled up the forms and then a worker there, a pak cik, asked how many hours of rest we had
We both had 4 hours because we were doing some assignment thingie and we both woke up at 6
And the minimum hours required is 5
So tak jadi
But then the pak cik asked what’s my blood type is and I said O, much to his delight, he tested my blood straight away
Well, in short, I have enough iron to donate blood (my mom doesn’t and I used to think I would too, not have enough iron I mean)
Reshma too
But we both failed the only requirement, 5 hours of sleep

My middle finger which got pricked for blood testing

While wall-ing Jeffrey in Facebook

I find it really really fascinating that the cotton stuck to my finger for so long
I didn’t take it out
Only after like 3 or 4 hours later

Oh my goodness lar this Patricia
We were in the computer lab and she totally flipped the computer screen horizontally, not knowing how she did it
I’ve never seen anything like that so I took a picture

After logging off, still no use
I wonder what other people’s reaction when they saw this

That wasn’t her first time screwing up with the lab’s computer

Anyway, I think I might take more pictures and treat this more like a photoblog more often
I think I tend to write more when I’m emo or when the internet connection is bad in KL (since I can’t upload any pictures in KL due to the stupid wireless thing, which is damn slow)

2008-08-25T22:22:00.000+08:00

I had three heavy meals in 3 hours
I’m not even kidding
Sometimes I eat so little I wish I could just die because I dare not eat much in my uncle’s or my auntie’s place (Reshma thinks I’m mad)
Sometimes (okay, just today) I makan so so much I feel like exploding
I didn’t eat for no reason
All three meals were force fed

Anyway, I think I’m driving my auntie cuckoo nuts
Because whenever she asks me to make a decision (that requires me, to trouble her), I say “anything lar”, “okay lah” or worse (for her) “don’t want lar”
She and her family are going to Bali on Wednesday so she’s suggesting that I should stay in her house (alone, mind you) since it’s easier for me to travel around if I stay at her place, as the bus stop is just less than 5 minutes walk away from her house
I can’t go anywhere if I stay with my uncle
I really don’t want to but I don’t know how to reject her so I said “anything” and she’s like, “you better make a decision or else I’m gonna get angry”
*note: Miss Yvonne Wong, this is P&C
But it’s indirectly a compliment, at least to me
Because you don’t just let anyone to stay at your house for no reason
You have to trust the person enough to do so
I’m flattered, really
But I have phobias
I’m scared of thunders
I’m scared of the dark
I’m scared of being alone too

Anyway, taking buses everyday is driving me nuts
Because I hate walking at alleys and waiting at bus stops
And I have to wear like clothes that give me full coverage
I don’t wanna get any unwanted attention ya know
Whenever I see potential snatch thief/rapist looking men I walk as if I’m a man or something
And no, you can’t imagine The Man Walk
Because I’ve never showed The Man Walk to any of you
Oh I think I showed Pei Chze and Sheryl in the car
And I think it kinda works
I walk like I’m all tough and tom boyish so I bet those scary people must be thinking I have some hidden kung fu skills
And I put on that really really solemn and sour face too

2008-08-24T22:25:00.000+08:00

Oh wow I have sooooooo many things to blog about I don’t even know where to start
But I’m gonna make things short
Though making things short is not exactly what I do best

School’s been great
Especially friends because we get along quite well
Very well for people who have known each other for less than 2 weeks, in fact
I have Reshma, my partner in taking buses from Uptown to uni and from uni to Uptown everyday, she’s basically Sara’s twin. Possibly separated at birth
I have Christine, the pretty and sweet little darling who sings like a pro, and I believe we can be closer friends if we didn’t have such a huge number of people in our gang!
I have Ashreena, whom I met on the first day of orientation and I tell her things I normally wouldn’t tell someone I’ve known for less than a week
I have Melanie, my partner when we wanna go cuckoo nuts together (she actually cries when she gets drunk, seriously it’s hilarious and I’ve seen a video of her getting drunk)
I have Patricia, whom I can talk to 24/7 and her personality is enough to define the word “blur” pretty well
I have Melissa, who’s as sweet as a pie, she’s also my partner in Sociology classes! Since the rest decided on Econs class, which I loathe to death. Econs I mean =)
I have Chan/Cheong/Hoi Cheong, hahaha I enjoy making fun of him. He actually drew a map of Pudu for me, like seriously man. I shall scan the map and put it here but it’s in KL so maybe another day

Anyway, on Friday I went for karaoke at Redbox for the first time in my life!
Reshma, Christine and Melanie went there with me too (not literally, I basically got lost around PJ alone for like 1 hour! Wanted to go to The Curve but ended up in Kelana Jaya and I was basically stalked by some really creepy guy << there, making long stories short)
At first I didn’t sing much
Because I’ve never really sang my lungs out in public before except in the shower!
But when Spice Girls songs came along, I was totally jumping on the sofa singing “Wannabe” and “Spice Up Your Life” with the 3 girls
And that’s not something you see everyday, eh?
In the end we even sang S Club 7 songs (the fast ones)
Seriously we were like little kids man…
Singing songs like “Reach” and “Bring It All Back”
Overall I had a blast hanging out with these girls

Also, Selangor is not what I imagined to be
It’s far more complicated and fast paced than the good ol’ Malacca
The three relatives’ houses I’ve been to, adjusted their clocks, either 15 or 30 minutes faster than the real time!
Seriously, those clocks gave me heart attacks a number of times already
Nowadays I treasure the times being home in Malacca because it’s such a rare thing for me now to spend times with my family
This morning my sister Clara woke up and saw me for the first time in like 6 days
She jumped on me and hugged me real tight
And she said I’ve slimmed down a lot, based on her many many tight hugs
We didn’t let go of each other for like 2 minutes or something man
I guess I’m really a family orientated person
I didn’t know that til I leave home
I guess it’s just like what people say,
“You don’t know what you've got til you lose it”
Arrrrhh
Something along that line
Hahahaha
Yes my English standard has gone down real badly

Okay I guess it’s not a short update at all

I’m such a pig
So last night I decided to unplug my laptop charger thingie and off the lights and still use it
And then I got bored so I signed in MSN again and Derek was like “wtf” since I said I wanted to go off already and I really did went offline
Zach was like dunno what like that and when I said I wanted to sleep he kept calling me “basket”
So I said I really got to go and the next thing I know,
I woke up and my laptop’s not on my tummy anymore, it was like beside me
I was wondering why didn’t I put the laptop back into the bag
I mean, why I left it like, beside me? and went to sleep?
The thing’s closed by the way so I was like, what happened man?
Then I realised it’s 6am like that already because my uncle and auntie and cousins were like walking around trying their best to mensilentkan menyilentkan everything they do
And that means they’re getting ready for work
And I got no class today
Plus I was too sleepy to care anyway, about the laptop I mean
So I went back to sleep
Then when I got up (now), I realised I didn’t off my computer man!!
I said “au revoir” to Zac and he replied “french freak”, which I don’t remember reading at all!
Seriously, I’m unbelievable

2008-08-19T23:30:00.000+08:00

First day of classes were better than expected

First class we had was “Intro to Microeconomics” (one of the electives)
The lecturer is a Croatian and guess what?
His English, well
He sounds like this
“Tew-dey I want tew teetch yew Eekonomeeks”
Kinda like that lar but you can’t really blame him lar
If only his English’s better then I’m sure he can be quite a good lecturer
He’s quite an interesting person too
After that the second class was “Intro to Design” (core subject)
The lecturer’s a Chinese man and at first impression, he didn’t well, impress me
But as he went on further I think I might actually like his subject!
Okay to be honest I knew I would love it anyway since it’s like, design!
He actually gave us an assignment to do already
And it’s got to do with dance! (lagi happy!)

Oh yeah on Monday night I moved in to another uncle’s place, my mom’s twin brother’s
Before this I was with my grandparents and my other uncle, my mom’s eldest brother
And now my room is much much bigger and I can actually use the internet on my bed!
Like how cool is that??
Okay, I know you guys gonna say I sampat/crazy/sua ku bla bla bla BUT, to me it’s cool, because in Malacca the wire can never reach my bed
Speaking about being sua ku, Derek said I’m a kampung girl
Which I can’t really deny
Just now I saw like this HUGE jam while walking over a flyover
I wanted to take out my phone to snap a picture to show my sisters!
But there was a Bangladeshi walking behind me so it was kinda creepy ya know and I wanted to walk faster
Oh I tell you, KL got SO many Banglas man!

Okay so Tuesday morning, I was almost late because my uncle didn’t wake up in time
I dare not wake him up because I was too pai seh lah
So I kinda “forgot” to open the bathroom door silently
Hahahaha
Thanks to the door, he got up and was like rushing like mad for me (I’m such a terrible niece)
Even his wife also like so kan cheong for me
And I was late to meet up with Reshma too at the bus stop
So right, the first class of the day was “Social and Business Communication” (core subject)
And a Chinese lady lecturer teaches us that and she’s actually good
Okay, best I’ve seen among those three lecturers
To put in simple English, I like her
She let us out early so we went to some chill out room and watched Olympics because Christine is crazy over it
And we watched the pole vault event, the one with Yelena Isinbaeva one
We cheered so loud I hit my friend Patricia’s forehead
I even kicked up my legs! (I was half lying down on a one-seater sofa)
Oh then when we wanted to change channel, we told a guy who knows how
He said “Ask Miss Cindy”
Guess what on earth I heard?
“Ask VCD”
I was like, “ask VCD? how?”
The guy kept laughing non stop
Then Christine (or was it Melissa?) told me what he really said
Apparently Patricia heard something else too
After that we went for Sociology class (one of the electives)
My partners for that class is Melissa, Patricia and Ashreen
The rest decided not to take Sociology, instead, they decided to take Microeconomics (one of the electives), which I loathe because I totally… ish it last time
So anyway when we first walked in, the class was quite full
And then the lecturer, came in and talked about how tough this subject actually is and how much work we’re getting soon enough
Half an hour later she told the class whoever thinks he/she doesn’t wanna take this subject anymore is allowed to leave the class
Surprisingly (or maybe not), half the class left
Then Ashreena told me that the lecturer told her that she did that to scare off some students (can you believe it?)
So she won’t get that many students!
Or something like that
At least that’s what I heard lar
And also because she only wants students who truly want to take the subject, and not because they need the subject to fill up the requirements thingie
Oh well, I stayed on to see what else can Sociology offers
And to be honest, I was intimidated by all the workloads but I decided to go to the lecturer and asked her to let me have a look of the book, the thick thick book
She took the book from the table and gave it to me
The moment it reache my hands
I almost drop the book because it was too heavy
And some other students actually laughed at me
So pai seh
In total, for that subject, we have to study around 1000 pages of stuffs in 14 weeks’ time
Crazy or nuts I ask you?
And she’s the kind that want things to be done early and fast
Oh then after that we had Intro to Mass Communication (core subject)
And boy oh boyyy
This Malay lecturer can’t even speak proper English
She ends her sentences with “you know” which kinda sounds like, “yew-oh”
We made fun of that, a lot
Especially me and Patricia
Anyway, it seems like our group is getting bigger and bigger
Which is nice but I think whenever we go to classes together, we might need to start queuing up or something and count heads, too
After that we had a two hours break and we went for lunch and I bought like RM 10 worth of bread
My friends asked me why I buy so much and I told them I get hungry at night, like every night especially when I’m in KL
Mainly because I pai seh to eat a lot with my relatives
I mean, unless I’m paying myself then it’s different lar of course
They were like saying I shouldn’t torture myself like that
Except Ashreena and she totally understands why I do that
Reshma and Patricia were extremely against it though
Oh well
I’m munching on my bread now =)
Yummmm
After that we went to the computer lab for “Intro to Design”, where we learn Photoshop stuffs
And some girl from Maldives came to sit with me because her computer didn’t have the photoshop software
We kinda had fun but so many people played Facebook and Hotmail instead
Hahaha

After that I went back to my uncle’s house and we went to pasar malam
I bought even more bread, and cookies, and sweets
And my auntie is not very happy about because she says I’m just a student and I shouldn’t spend money; I can only spend after I’ve started working
Then I can even buy her food
Hahaha
She’s like dunno 78323487345th person to tell me that
It’s like they totally expect me to get a job or something
Okay she’s only the third person to say that
First, Mei Chi’s mom
Second, my old nanny
And now her!
Okay I’m tired of bloging and I need to post this up before “Blazz” switches off his/her wireless and then I can’t use already

By the way, not compulsory is like, out of those two not compulsory ones, I choose one, out of two
I think I might take Sociology since I really can’t love Econs anymore

2008-08-16T22:33:00.000+08:00

I'm finally online!!
Yayyyyy!!
Anyway, I got loads to tell!!

Okay so on Wednesday, my parents and I traveled up to KL for orientation
There were two days of orientation you see
So the first day, after sending both my sisters to school, we headed up to KL
The orientation started at 9.30am but we reached around 9am
We didn’t know where the uni situated at so we went round and round “exploring” KL
We ended up going circles around Mont Kiara and Segambut and Equestrian Club and almost went to Bangsar and almost accidentally turned to some Sungai Buloh or Ipoh turn man!
Aiyah I dunno lar
It’s all Google’s map fault!!
My mom was sooooo semangat to print out the map online and everything
Macam pro only
Mana tahu
The map actually stated that University Malaya is just one road down from my uni
No joke man weih
I was thinking, “eh, can go find Becca already!”
Anyway, we got lost, obviously
And it took us one whole hour to reach my uni
By then I was like 45 minutes late
And then I took the wrong orientation pack because I was so blur that I said I was taking the ADP program
So they gave me the wrong orientation pack
And asked me to find my name from a long list of name
I couldn’t find mine and I said to the people in charge of the registering job, “EH!! SHIT!! HOW ARR???” (I was too kan cheong lar and when I’m kan cheong I don’t do things right, I don’t even say the right things)
So they asked me to write down my name and I did and signed
Immediately I ran to the theatre hall and there were like SO many people there, staring at me because I was late
Ish
So I saw an empty seat and I just sat down (forgetting that I should have asked the people next to it whether it’s occupied or not)
The moment I sat down, the two girls beside me were like, “eh eh!! my friend’s seat!!”
I was like uh-oh and kept apologising non stop
So I took another seat, two seats away from them one (who knows they might have another friend right?)
And beside me was this Indian girl
Then I looked at her orientation pack, different one!!
I looked at her and pointed at my folder and went like, “eh?!?!”
She smiled and went like, “oh we’re together one”
I was like, phewwwww
Then I realised her folder stated “Bachelor of Communication”
I was like, shit shit shit
And told her, “I took the wrong file!”
I looked so dumb there I tell you
But I continued to listen to the lecturers talking lar
Do you know they have a DANCE CLUB!?!?!?!?!
I was thinking, “I’M SO JOINING THAT CLUB!!”
But apparently they have stuffs like latin and ballroom dancing that sort
Sooooo, I’m not really sure, yet
But I’m excited to know more
Anyway, after they finished talking, the Indian girl asked me for my name, I was like, kind stunned lar
So I said, “ooooh! sorry sorry my name’s Sandra” and held out my hand to shake hers
Then I turned back to my file and wanted to get up to change the folder
I realised I didn’t ask for her name!!
Like, how terrible can I get right?
So I went like, “oh erm sorry, what’s your name?”
I could totally feel like face heating up and was blushing like mad
So pai seh can!
She answered, “Ashreena”
I went like, “huh?!?! Ash what??” (it kinda sounded like, Ashweena but I wasn’t sure. sometimes I feel like banging my head to the wall)
Then she spelled it our for me
I blushed even more (honestly I don’t blush much, due to my super muka tembok besi-ness)
Then they dismissed us for a break or something and we went out of the theatre for the toilet
Oh did I mention my mom went into the theatre a while later I went in?
Hahahaha
I thought it’d be embarrassing since it made me look like a standard one kid but I wasn’t at all
In fact I was quite proud of what my mom did
So anyway, my mom, being her usual crazy self (yah I got the crazy genes from her)
She went around telling Ashreena and a guy nearby she’s a student there too!
The oldest one there, in fact
After that my parents went to sit at a corner while we went around visiting the uni
And another block and another block
There are three buildings belonging to the uni and we have to take shuttle buses to move around the building to attend classes
Leceh right
So after walking around I got to know a guy, his name is errr…
I really have a hard time remember his full name
Chan “something” Chong
I think
Hahaha
So we decided to call him either “Chan” or “Chong”
Or even “Chan Chong”
He’s a really funny guy because he smiles a lot
It’s like after he finishes one sentence, he smiles!
So funny
I actually asked him why he smiles so much but I can’t remember his answer
So after all that
I went to lunch with my parents and I brought them to SUBWAY!!!
I first went to Subway in Singapore during the Heroes World Tour and Sara introduced it to me looong before they have franchises here in Malaysia and I fell in love with Subway immediately!
I took the one foot long one because the 6 inches one is just not worth your money
After that we went to my aunt’s house in Damansara but she and her husband were still out at work but my cousin Judy and her grandma and her cousin Enoch were home so we chatted with them a bit, but not with Enoch though
After a while we went and visited my grandparents
Then my parents had to leave for Malacca because both my sisters had to be picked up by evening from tuition and bla bla bla
And then I couldn’t hold it
I cried
Like the sobbing kind
My mom was like, “Sandra… don’t… do… that” in a sad kinda way
Then she couldn’t hold it and she cried, too!
That made me even more sad
Then I hugged her and kept on crying more and more
My dad looked at me sadly and he looked really sad too
It almost seemed like he wanted to cry too…
Oh well, what to do right
First time leaving home
Maybe when it comes to Laura’s turn they won’t feel this sad
Then my grandmother started crying too!
I think I know where I got the cry baby genes from now
Then after they left, I talked to my grandma
A while later I tried hugging my pillows and smell them (it’s a silly habit of mine, I like to smell my pillows for God knows what reasons)
Then I realised my pillows have lost its Malacca home smell!!
I burst into tears again
Seriously it’s like, so terrible
Because my favourite smell is my pillows’ smell, besides food, of course, because pillows smell is like home to me
It’s like I talk to my grandma half way and then I thought of my parents then I got tears in my eyes again
I think might need some pills, instead of tahan-sakit one, I need tahan-air-mata one
Okay so that night, my first night, I had troubles sleeping
Normally when I can’t sleep, I smell my pillows just for the sake of smelling them
So once or twice I forgot they have lost its smell
I smelled them and I got disappointed, like so badly
I didn’t sleep much at all
But luckily I have a buddy, aka Emo Boy, to sms with til 3 or 4 in the morning
I mean can you imagine, I have to get up by 6 every friggin’ day so I can follow my uncle to work everyday so that I can take a bus from Damansara Uptown to uni
And I slept for only less than 2 hours out of like 36 hours and I had to wake up to go to uni
After that I didn’t sleep much again
But on the second night, I had better sleep
You know why?
Because I was too tired!

Okay so anyway, on my second day in KL
I got up at 6 as usual (second day only lar actually)
My little cousin, who is not really that little actually, he’s only 14 but he’s one and a half head taller than me
Another thing is that he’s got taekwondo black belt
Heehee
Plus he’s won many many medals
I feel safe lar when I’m with him
Seriously, he’s damn tall lor
So we waited for the bus and when it finally arrives, I had few 10 dollars notes with me
And the bus driver shooed me away!
I mean, I was like so super shocked that someone actually did that to me
I raised both my eyebrows and turned to walk away
My cousin looked at me curiously too (he’s never taken a bus before)
So I explained to him and we decided to walk over to a nearby 7 11 to buy something so we can get some small change
As we were waiting for the next bus, my uncle came over and he found out some dunno what bus stuffs which I didn’t really concentrate on listening anyway because everything sounded like physics and chemistry to me
So the next bus came and I boarded it and I was sitting opposite this African guy and he totally looked like a student from HELP
As the bus got nearer to the HELP building, I saw that African guy stood up, and so I did, too
Then out of a sudden, a girl who was sitting right next to me all this while held up her hand and stopped me and told me it’s another stop
I was like, whoaaaaa okay thanks
She said that guy is probably going to another building
I was stunned a bit because I was like, how on earth she knows where I’m going anyway?
Later I realised she saw my orientation pack
Then I asked her whether she’s a senior there in HELP, and which year she’s in
She’s just started on her degree course
I asked, “oh me too! so which course you’re taking?”
She answered, “mass communication, how about you?”
I said, “omg me too!! which one you taking???”
And she went, “PR, you?”
I was kinda bummed (I didn’t know why) and answered, “oh, media studies =(”
Then we introduced ourselves
Her name is Reshma (I know this name sounds like someone not really attractive, but really she is! She’s got the looongest eye lashes I’ve ever ever seen in my life! Real one, mind you! Around 1.5cm man! And her eyes, well, almost like Sara Nanthini’s eyes but much more fairer than Sara and she’s around my height)
So we kinda talked and talked til we reached the place we supposed to gather at and then I met up with Ashreena and she found a friend too!
And her name is Melanie, from JB too, just like Ashreena
Later I found out Melanie came from SSI
A school in between St Joseph (my dad’s old school) and SAB (dunno stands for what but my dad always makes fun of my mom’s old school, calling it Sekolah Anak Babi!! Hahahaha)
SSI is also Yvonne my cousin’s school and Ju Han’s and used to be Tse Hong and Jonathan Long and Ju Cia’s school
Hahaha
I know useless info but anyway
The world is so small lar sometimes it just seems
Then we went for the talks and stuffs like that lar
And the lecturers gave us a list of subjects we must take and also some not so compulsory subjects
We went out and sat down to plan our time tables so we could be in the same classes and stuffs
Then a girl walked by hurriedly and asked whether we’ve seen her pencil case because we were sitting right behind her
So I told her I saw it under her chair but I thought it was Reshma’s as Reshma was sitting directly behind her
Then she asked us whether we’re planning our time tables and we answered yes so she asked us to wait for her because she wants to plan with us too!
Oh and she’s really really pretty!!
Almost like Esther Low, but prettier
And slightly shorter
So later she sat down with us and she introduced herself as Christine
I think she’s the most well groomed and prettiest among the few of us
I actually saw a girl wearing sky high super shiny red heels and she’s really pretty too
Anyway, back to the time table
Some subjects there are groupings and some we can take and some we can’t because some are reserved for American Degree Program students
OH!!
Speaking of ADP students
I saw a girl, from St David’s one
Her name is Yeo You Rui (I can remember useless names but not important things like what I did 5 minutes ago)
One year my junior and well
I recognise her but whenever I smile at her she gives me this really moody frown
I tried doing that like almost 5 times but you know what?
I think I’m giving up
Okay okay back to time table!!
So we are supposed to “grab” the seats because some people prefer afternoon classes so they don’t have to get up early and stuffs
And we had to rebut with the seniors who apparently know loads of short cuts in many stuffs than us
The lecturer planned a slimy scheme with us
Told us some tips and also that they actually let us register for our subjects and classes 24 hours ahead of other people, like an edge lar basically
We were, of course very excited and happy lar
We chose and registered the subjects we want to take for the first semester and choose our groupings and plan the time so that the time of our classes won’t clash lar
But then the groupings we have to register online before 12 midnight (the time the seniors were allowed to register/grab their group)
So I asked for permission from my cousin to use his laptop and created a HELP account
Without looking much into the other simple details (because I was too kan cheong to grab the classes I want) I accidentally missed changing the default programme, ADP student to HUC (HELP University College) student
I went ahead and chose the courses then I realised something was wrong
Then only I realised I was categorized under ADP
I wanted to scream my lungs out because well, I read that it’s only a one time log in thing only!!
I was like shit lar
So never mind I chose the groupings like normal (the groupings of ADP and HUC students are the same)
Then I realized that the number of slots left for some groupings left very very little, and Reshma was having trouble registering her subjects in the uni’s registry, so basically she’s not even suppose to log in to sign up for groups!
I called her and told I her I would do the signing up for groupings for her even though she hasn’t even register her subjects
I had to do for her because she was out and I was afraid by the time she reaches home the slots might be all gone already
Then we cannot be in the same class already!
I logged out mine so I could create and account for her and hers turned out alright because I changed the default ADP student option and I managed to grab her some slots left
I was panicking like mad because I was under ADP student category instead of HUC
I tried signing in again and I managed to! (turns out I read wrongly!)
Then I managed to click around and I… OMG… managed to change to HUC!!
My cousin who was sitting behind me kept shaking my head because of my foolishness
Oh well I guess that’s about it
Then I had dinner with my relatives and I couldn’t sleep again that night!!
I watched Project Runway til I sleep
It was a nice episode
I actually took 2 hours to fall asleep
AND I SLEPT 6 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!
Without waking up!!
What a record man
That’s the longest ever, in KL

By the way, my pillows totally lost their smell already =(
Sob

2008-08-13T22:35:00.000+08:00

I’m leaving in like less than 6 hours’ time and guess what?
I’m missing home already
I doubt I will be able to sleep properly tonight
My mom made me sit down and had a talk with me about leaving home
I can SOOOOO tell she’s missing me and everything already
She almost made me cry
She said I must promise, no matter what, I must come back home to Malacca as often as possible
Even if I got myself a job already or something
Also,
She said she has asked her twin brother to scold me when he sees I deserve some lectures
And that I will not be allowed to go out whenever, wherever I want to =(
Sad I know
Well, what to do
I’m gonna stay with my uncle and his family long term, I suppose
And between my mom and my dad’s families
My mom’s family is the stricter one
And if I don’t come back home for the weekend, I have to go to my grandparents’ house and teman them and cook for them
That I don’t mind
But my grandpa’s the most stubborn old man you could ever ever EVER meet
I mean, as you know old people can be quite stubborn in general
But this grandpa of mine, oh well…
He always make me go speechless, and then laugh about it because he thinks it’s funny that he managed to make me shut my mouth because I got nothing to answer back to him
But then again, he’s like the most loving grandpa ever
I can’t compare with my other grandpa because I don’t know much about my paternal grandpa as he was always bedridden
Also this stubborn grandpa of mine, he has problems walking around due to some leg injury (external one)
Oh gawd I don’t even know how to fully describe his stubborn-ess!
Anyway, I should continue packing and off the computer now
By the way, I won’t be having my laptop with me til this Sunday =(
I knowwwww
So saddddd
So you people better sms me or something
Or else I might die
And it would be all you people’s fault!!
