RIP baby richie T.T

On a day when I'm ought to be celebrating, also marks a day where I need to mourn. The youngest hamster at home, Richie past away. May you find more peace on heaven.

Which make me wonder, how long is the life span of a hamster? Apparently only 2-3 years. Tsk

I couldn't really fathom as to how I would constantly forget about it. Am I dreading about it? Or have I somehow just gotten lonelier without realizing it? And, thanks for reminding me Amy. Best cousie ever. =)

And my bad days have not gotten any better still. Which, in a way, fit as the missing pieces to my puzzle of what might have caused my forgetfulness. I'm fed up, period.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

As I'm currently working for a fitness company, I get to attend free yoga classes. So I've tried few types of different yoga namely Sun saturation yoga, gentle yoga and Bikram Hot yoga and I have to admit that the last one was the one I enjoyed most. Heated in a room up til 40 Celsius, I'm already sweating profusely like a pig before the class has even begun! But I would somehow feel amazingly different after the class although I might get a little dizzy turning and twisting my body in the hot room. Well, the dizziness has lessen on the following classes which I think due to my body has gradually get used to the humid environment. Thumbs up to Bikram Hot Yoga *beams*

And I've watched New Moon. Ahhh. Carlisle can really make me swoon. *o*

p.s : Stubborn I may be, but I would not apologize for something which I think I'm right for, especially when my offence here is for speaking the truth. So there.

Changing of my blog song

Due to frequent complaints that my blog is always very bising, I've decided to take the initiative to change my previous blog song. tsk. Well, to my beloved friends and cousins who are unaware of it, that ex-song is actually my favourite song from one of my favourite anime, Bleach. But, doesn't matter now, I've gotten quite bored of it already. So, tada! A new song now. Jay Chou's fan would be pleased, and scanning through my friends list, there are definitely more Jay fans than Bleach fans. Enjoy :))

My day in KL

It had been a busy busy day for me.

Went back to VI with XinLi to collect our STPM certs. *beams* Walked to Petaling Street after that and I can't help reminiscing the time where we always need to walk there for tuition after school hours; rain or shine. If we're lucky it would be a hot day and we would be reaching Kolej Bandar stinking with sweat; and if unlucky, we would be all drenched with sweat, raindrops, the mud-water from the numerous potholes along the way and not forgetting water splashed by cars passing by. How did I live through that kind of lifestyle for 1.5 years? Thinking back, I'm kinda amazed now.

Since it's still so early, we just sat down at the stuffy McD where we chat and chat away. The best part of the day. :) There's just so much of catching up to do with this curry woman before her leaving to Kampar for her studies. Another good friend leaving the town. Tsk. Nevertheless, Good luck in that gal. Keep pursuing your dream! I have every ounce of faith in you! :)

And I've just started working today as a telemarketer for True Fitness. The job is fairly good. My trainer is very helpful and has helped me and guided me alot. And it's really a small world as this trainer of mine is my friend's friend's mom. Not to mention some of her friends are teachers from both SBU and VI. Makes me wonder.

The greatest part is that as the staff of this company, I can use the gym facilities for absolutely free! They have so many types of different facilities; namely sauna, steam bath numerous types of group exercises and yogas and not forgetting dancing classes too! Since I've never been to a real gym before, I'm thrilled and excited as how it would be. I can't wait to go for their yoga session with Vaani this weekend. lalala.

This Is It

Went to National Library yesterday with Jooying and Mun Yee. Boy, was it disappointing. I went there with such high hopes that I would be able to find my Dan Brown books but I did not spot a single book of his. Not to mention, I was naive enough to hope that they would have The Angel's Game there. We left the library empty handed. sigh.

Not much of a good start of our outing, we headed over to TS. And it got worse. The parking was all taken at the lower floors. When we finally found a parking spot, we were so relieved and happy, and Jooying tried to do her reverse parking into that spot. As she was attempting to park, an ugly scene took place.

This lady in a black Wira was at the back of us. Since we figured we would take some time to park, we thought of letting her pass us first. Despite Mun Yee waving to her asking her to leave, she put on her signal light and dashed into OUR parking spot! What guts she has! We just stared at her dumbfounded by her barbaric actions. An older lady whom we assumed would be her mother got down from the backseat carrying a baby, while the driver stayed in the car. Jooying winded down the window to tell her that that's our parking spot but the mother told us 'you lambat' . What the crap ? Even if it's our problem being slow, it still is our parking spot! Hello, ever heard of first come first serve basis,barbarians?

After bout few minutes or so, a car nearby need to leave. Thus, we manage to obtain another parking. The barbaric driver finally leave the car. She stood at the side, waiting for us to finish parking to 'talk; to us. Seems to me she wants to find fault more. What more with all her gangster look.

She claims that since we both have obtained the parkings, she said that the problem is settled. An uncivilised person like her can't seem to understand that the problem arised here is that OUR parking has been stolen by her. She made matter worst by being rude and talked to us in a rather offensive manner.

Firstly she said she thought we were turning away, which does not make sense since our REVERSE light was on.

Then she changed to say that we were LAMBAT. Next she asked us if we are 'budak sekolah' which Jooying answered yes. And with that, she made another unreasonable claim that she is older than us and we should RESPECT her!

And she insincerely apologized 'sorry la, bro' which Jooying did not accept and she went on to explain the problem here is about her stealing our parking. The next thing she said was asking us to SHUT UP! since she has so called considered nice to bow down and apologize to us.

It has been a real bad start for our outing which fumed us all up, making us cursing all the way. I'm sad to see such uncivilised road bully, or rather parking bully still lurks around KL. It is no right for her to be giving all shitty unreasonable excuses and finally apologizing insincerely which ended up with a rude shut up. Totally spoil mood.

The best part of the day has got to be Michael Jackson's 'This Is It'. It is just so overwhelmingly great and captivating, it's worth every cent I paid for the two hours production. And the best part is, I got home feeling so happy and satisfied that I managed to watch our King of Pop perform for the very last time. It would be much better if the audience in the cinema is more sporting to cheer. Well, although not much of a MJ fan, I can feel the effort he has put in preparing for the concert that he has failed to perform and it saddens me when we were the only three cheering in the cinema at the part where MJ cheered with all the director, crews and performers of the concert. We stayed till the very last part where I get to listen to Heal The World which he did not sing during the rehearsal. Made me smile again at the end of the day. :)

And I get to drink honeydew milkshake again after 2 weeks. Wee.

My first day of holiday

Went out for few movies today. Jeniffer's Body and The Time Traveler's Wife. The first one was just a movie to kill time. And the latter one, well, I would say that the book was way better. A always. Thus, if anyone of you want to watch it. better DON'T read the book first. You might be disappointed by the movie. It did not show the part that made me cry in the book, the one I had anticipated. And not to mention they edited and changed some of the storyline of the book thus the movie is slightly different. Hmm.

I've heard of people saying laughing burns calories. If that's the case, I would have burnt lots of them today. Now I feel that my jaws and cheekbones are aching due to over laughing. Oh and not forgetting my tummy will ache too if I were to laugh again. Previously it was caused by Mun Yee and now Jooying is contributing to it too. Had so much of laughter today. It was good indeed.

Tomorrow will be off to National Library. With Mun Yee and Jooying again :) And Michael Jackson 'This Is It' . Ahh, I'm excited. I'm accomplishing my to-do-list. Wee.

And not to mention. I'm broke. Ya, and it's only on my first day of holidays! I've only been spending on movies, transport and food. Tsk. I wouldn't be able to spend on books already. *sniffs* Thus, I either have to start rotting at home. Or really go out and get a job. Boo hoo.

End of Sem 2

Yay! Completed my B. Law paper today. After anticipated it for nearly a week. I wasn't exactly prepared for the exam, just wanted to get over it as soon as possible and then enjoy my holidays. 2 months! sweeet! :)

With a blink at the eye and I've completed my Semester 2. Ya, I lament bout it a lot, but time really flies. As I was chatting with Xf, she reminded me of how we celebrated our 'merdeka' after our STPM papers. Walk over to TS for Twilight as movie. How simple form of an entertainment yet it was so delighting and memorable. Haha. Made me ponder upon our old bittersweet memories for awhile. Form 6. Really an irreplaceable chapter of my life. :)

Well, for my to-do-list during my upcoming holiday :

1. Movie! time traveler's wife with MY and JY tomorrow *beams*

2. Visit the national library. With MY also. haha

3. Meeting up with old pals!

4. Baking! Wil go kacau MY again. since she's the nearest victim.
*Lai, faster finis your exam and I shall go kacau you with your new electric mixer!*


5. Practice the pig philosophy. eat.sleep.eat.sleep.

6. Finish up my story books. I think I have like 5 books waiting for me now. wee.

6. ops. Not forgetting, I need a PART-TIME JOB. anybody want to hire me? I need money to buy my 'The Angel's Game' book. Well, of course I need money for a lot more reasons. And needless to say, that list of reasons would be endless. Haha. But this would be the priority of my list. money money money. gahh.


Still feeling hyper about my exams finally ending. *dances around*

And Happy holidays to my uni mates! :))

Pre merdeka outing due to biz law being postponed ><

I just finished my Stats finals today. It wasn't all that terrible but I got stuck and was on the verge on going blank just at the very first question. shoot. I can't find any suitable formula for that question, simply bang a formula there and came up with a very illogical answer, and there goes my 5 marks. sigh. Now just hope that I got the calculations and formulas right for all the other questions.

And B. Law which was scheduled tomorrow has been postponed to next week! Grr. Now I've got to wait for another week before I can really enjoy my holiday.

And so I went to Pavilion wit Mun Yee to catch a movie since this woman already syok merdeka. It has been quite awhile since my last outing at Pavilion, legs kinda pain walking all the way from HT station. Regretted for not taking mono there. Aiks.

And guess what, we had mun yee mee for our lunch. Notice the similarities between her name and the food name? Haha.

Whiteout was the movie of the day. I get really freezy and cold just by watching the movie; the whole movie was filmed in Antarctica. ( well, at least I think it is) Not a bad movie. Just that I got all chilly by the end of the movie and vowed not to go there even if it offers diamonds.

We walked around for awhile after the movie as it was raining cats and dogs, can't go home. And we went to the 6th floor where they sell those pretty and nice decorations for house interior designing. And guess what, we came across this very ordinary armchair priced at RM 18 000+! Hell it cost even more than my dad's Kancil! And it's only an armchair, not to mention the most normal ones. And it doesn't even look comfy, it's those plastic type, mind you. Why would anyone want to spend on that, I wouldn't understand.

To sum it, today's outing was a totally unexpected one since my actual plan after Stats was to go home to catch some anime or some sleep. Thanks for that woman. I had fun today :))
And as the lesson of the day, I should really take up the advice of my parents that I should not talk when I'm eating. It's awfully hard to eat and swallow properly when you're laughing your head off. I'm lucky that I did not choke on my food today. XD

Cream cracker

I've tried various types of cream crackers before applied with different fillings; milo and condensed milk, condensed milk only, peanut butter, kaya, strawberry jam etc. Anyway, I was hungry (as always). So I decided to try Jooying's earlier on suggestion of cream cracker with marmite + cheese. lol. One word. SALTY! lol. probably too much of marmite. But, I think I still love cream cracker + milo + condensed milk best. If you all have not tried it, go ahead and try it! it's really nice. :))

p.s: thanks richard for all the chocs! weee.
My condolences to Stephen Gately from Boyzone. Frankly, I never know what his real name is until this morning when I heard about his passing from radio. Apparently, he choked on his own vomit during his sleep. Made me realise we human are indeed fragile. How easily one dies. Tsk. I'm not an avid fan of Boyzone, but I grew up listening to their songs and so it kinda saddens me that someone from this band dying at such young age. He's only 33. Sigh. RIP, Stephen.

Take a deep breath for NOW

Phew. Finally done with my assignments. Really really glad. After all the fuss dealing with SPSS ( a software which I need to learn to complete my Statistics assignment) and taking so long in understanding the Shadwell v Shadwell law case (thanks Wylu for guiding! ), I can now rest for awhile before having to sit for my finals which is less than two weeks from now. And I have yet to do any revisions, still too lazy to start. gahh. Short semester is scarily hectic and fast.

And sadly, I don't seem to enjoy much freedom of speech here although its my blog. There are just some things that are left unwritten here due to some reasons. Sigh. Probably I should privatise this blog? Hmm.

p.s : <3 honeydew milkshake! *beams*

Move along

Just finished my mid term. sigh. Stats turns out to be more ok than Law. Totally unexpected. Hopefully the coming assignments would help me gain more marks that I've lost in mid term.

Skipped yesterday's UCSI Awards Day due to my exam and also my own laziness. Lol. But I attended The Star Awards Day today at Eastin Hotel and it wasn't that boring after all. It was quite a brief ceremony wit not many speeches made, although it started quite late and we have to wait for a good few hours before we can have our high-tea. And Emmanuel represented UCSI in a band performance by singing a P. Ramlee song, but i forgot what's the title. Way to go dude! *clap clap* I didn't know you could sing too. lol.
Oh, and many thanks to Sim Zi for being our 'Ah Mat' for the day :))


p.s : i find drummer very cool ar. gahh. very very yeng. just a sudden obssesion. bro's fault. lol.

A New Semester

Oh, how time flies, in a blink of eye and I've completed my first semester and it has already been a fortnight since I started my second semester. I did fairly well for my last semester, hopefully I'll be able to do better this semester. I'm taking some new subjects this semester, something I've never learned before in my Form 6, so I think it's quite a struggle for me; Business Statistics and Business Law.

Business Stats are all figures but with super duper lots of formulas and I'm not exactly a person who's good with formulas while Business Law class is quite relaxing, not to mention boring as the lecturer is one of the laziest teacher I've ever met. She insisted on giving breaks although all of us are really fine with her going on with the lecture as we want her to let us go earlier. Sigh too lazy lecturer are not exactly a good thing too.

And coincidentally, I met one of my juniors from SBU in my class. She's taking the same subjects as me this semester, but of different course though. =)

Overall, I'm very happy with my current semester timetable as I only have 3 days of classes and I can have a good rest from Thursday till Sunday. Wee.


p.s : with all the constant talks of baking tempts me to bake now. Shall need to wait till Lai is done with her exam. At the mean time, I shall go look for recipes. Amy, you ought to join us too! :)))

Second time of pickpocket victim

My phone nearly got stolen again today. Yes. My SECOND TIME! Man, how stupid can I be.

I was waiting for train at KTM after meeting Vic Kie at Mid Valley. The stupid KTM has to take so long to come. So I was kinda losing my patience already as they kept postponing the scheduled time the train is supposed to come. It look me a good 45 minutes of wait before the train finally arrived. As usual, the crowd is unimaginable but this time it's damn damn bad. I, being a civilised passenger queue up to go in the train but suddenly people from the back kept pushing me to the front while the passengers in the train were pushing their way out. So it was extremely and super crowded and I could not even move. I was stuck in between. It's even worst than being in sardine tin. I could not even back out from the crazy crowd. The train was very packed already by then and I was being pushed to the back. Then some train officer blew whistle to push the 'unsuccessful' passenger who didn't manage to enter. I was damn pissed off already by then and when I reflexively put my phone in my pocket to grab my phone, it was gone! In flick seconds!! And I was totally unaware of it. My head was kinda spinning already by then and at that moment, I saw a police officer nearby and I approached him frailly to tell him my phone was gone. I was thinking it must be pointless to tell him, he wouldn't be able to do anything. It's nearly impossible to trace the thief in the middle of the crazy crowd. The police told me to wait, making my heart sink deeper thinking my phone is a total gone case.

However at that time, I saw few other police officers running towards the front of the train. I didn't know what they were up to but all I could do was to follow them since I couldn't get home also. I then saw few policemen struggling vigorously with a man on the train railway. They were trying to handcuff him and shocked him with an electric device. I asked a policewoman next to me and she said that's a thief. I was silently praying that he's the thief to my phone although it does seem rather ridiculous that I can be hoping so highly. Who gets back a phone after it gets stolen? Probably not even one in a million right? This thief could have been pickpocketing someone else's wallets or phones.

The policewoman then asked me to follow her to the opposite side of the train station using the lift. I followed aimlessly, confused and lost on what else I can do. As I got there, the policewoman asked me to wait outside a small room where all the police gathered in there with that bloody thief. And I heard them beating him up inside, whacking his ass off. After a while, a police came out and asked me if I could follow them to make a police report. They were all actually special police patrolling at KTM station. That just shows how high the crime rates are at Mid Valley KTM. I said I want to confirm first if he has really stolen my phone or else it would be a total waste of time to report when this is not even the thief. I told him my phone model and colour and he took out my phone from his pocket, asking is that's my phone. I was overjoyed at the sight of my phone and was so happy that my prayers were answered. I then agreed to follow them back to the police station for a police report. The policeman said that if I do not follow him back for report, they will let the thief off and my phone cannot be taken back so that left me no choice but to follow them back.

We took a train to KL Central where I was then led to a some sort of police office there to take down some of my statements of the incident. The thief was then sent into a room where he was whacked even worst there, what more with more policemen there in that office. I didn't see them whacking him but I could hear him shouting with a moan from outside. I loathe him but at the same time I feel pity for him that he gets beaten up but at the same time I feel that he deserves that kinda punishment.

Then an inspector in that office questioned me and asked me to write an essay of the whole incident. I was flabbergasted. Essay ?? Now ?? It has been kinda long since I read or wrote any BM and here they are asking me to write an essay out. After done scribbling, the police read my essay and they commented on my cacat BM. Wth man. They asked what I got for my BM in SPM. Piff. I got an A ok? They can even answer back "Waa.macam ini dapat A kah?" sweat.
Another kind policeman defended me, saying that I'm in such a state of shock thus, resulting in such poorly written BM.. Hee. at least some nice people to defend me.

After awhile, the thief's family came. His wife, daughter and sister. Apparently the police called his family. I could feel cold stares on me but I dare not really look at them. It feels kinda weird though. Like I'm the villain here, sending the man to lock up when he's clearly the one committing crime.

We then proceeded to Brickfields Police Station for me to make a proper police report. At that time, when the police were all away, the sister of the thief asked me if I could let the thief go. How this people will have the guts to ask me let him go when he has done something so so bad ? Sigh. I feel bad for the family but I couldn't stand being a victim so many times. If he is being let go this time, some other people will be a victim like me. At a point of time I feel kinda guilty also. And my legs were shaking for no reason. I'm afraid that the family will avenge me. Am I being silly? Sigh. And I'm also afraid that the thief will recognise me when he's put from the bars next time. Are all these unnecessary worries?

After some long tedious of waiting and sitting, I finally finished the reporting process. They actually wanted to keep my phone as evidence but I told them I only have one phone so they let me keep it. Crazy. Who will leave the phone to them as evidence? I followed them all the way here to get it back home! The police officer even asked me if I want to whack that thief 99. they offered me cane, and even golf stick. Asked me belasah him 99. Sigh. I ain't that violent. I'm happy enough my phone is back. Although there were some nasty looking scratches, I'm just all glad that I've gotten it back. Thinking back, it still seems so surreal and miracle to me that I'm able to get back a stolen phone. And from now on, I am rejecting every offer to Mid Valley if I were to take KTM there or back. Anyway, I'm already kinda grounded by Dad. And I really appreciate the helps and assistance by the helpful Mid Valley KTM police who has been waiting patiently till bout 10 pm to settle my case. Not to mention, they didn't take any food for the whole day as they are all fasting. That kinda changes my perceptions towards our country's police force. Thanks to all of you, I got back my phone.

In the end of the day, 09.09.09 had not been such a good day after all. It was suppose to be some auspicious day. Well, although it had been rough day for me, it's a relief for me that it turned out well in the end.

Note to my fellow cousins and friends, please be extra careful of your belongings when you're out especially in crowded area. Don't want to hear any of this kinda stories from you all :)

Bloggie new layout

My bloggie now has a new layout all thanks to MISS AMY. * THANKS A MILLION GAL* you are the greatest cousin on Earth, not to mention smartest too! Hohoho.

After spending close to 10 hours in front of the computer, yes I seriously mean it, 10 frigging hours!, Amy has came to my rescue and tada; my bloggie's new look. Lol. I can never understand how people manage to change their layout so easily.

And also many thanks to Miss Bux for guiding me how to change the layout for the whole night, although I wasn't successful in it. Still, I'm now more experienced in changing layout already, but I made a vow never again to meddle with all these html thingy. They really drive me nuts.





p.s : Amy, I owe you a San Francisco Mocha. let's go have a cup someday,ya ? =))

And I certainly enjoyed our chatterings that night. *winks winks*

As we walked back to Imbi, I noticed the usual normal looking 3 gigantic water fountain bowls at the entrance of Pavilion have turned into such fascinating sights at night. It changes colours, instead of boring looking bowls during the day.







Today is Mun Jie Jie's actual birthday, so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

and not forgetting, great thanks to MUN YUE JIE for the scrumptious dinner treat! :)))

Raise up your flags, Malaysians

As the clock struck 12, I hear fireworks cracking as I blissfully enjoy my last day of holiday. As unpatriotic I may be, I think it should still be etched in my mind that it has been 52 years since our country gain independence. An important day to remind me that I'm able to live in such a peaceful and beautiful country for almost 20 years. And after reading another splendid book by Khaled Hosseini, 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', I have came to realize that I'm truly lucky to be in Malaysia, a country where I can sleep on with the sounds of firecrackers instead of gunshots.


HAPPY
INDEPENDENCE DAY, MALAYSIA :)

Because I'm an honest person?

Some people would regard me as a doink. A better word to replace stupid. I feel ouch to call myself that or I'm too vain to admit I'm one. Anyway, I would prefer it if people look as me as an honest person. Yeah, that would be much better.

I went to KLCC again yesterday for their book fest for the second time with May Kay and we were queuing up for the entrance ticket. So I was waiting for my turn while May Kay stand to wait at the back. When the people in front of me left, the girl at the ticket counter gestured me to come forward. She was staring at me with those weird look and said something and I realized she was actually talking to me and since she was speaking Mandarin, I was a little slower at picking up what she said. After awhile, I managed to figure out what she was saying.


me : I want two tickets please


counter girl : If you're below 18 then you don't need to pay

me : Huh? ( i cant hear her well this part 'cuz its kinda a long sentence you see and I wasn't expecting anymore than a 'Thank You' from her)

counter girl : repeated what she said (I think she kinda figured that I can't get her)

Me : Oh, we're both above age already.

counter girl : oh ok. rm4 please.


Sweat. I just realised I could have cheated the counter gal since she was convinced that I look below 18. And not doink enough, I told MK what happened. She too gave me a sweat look, 'U should not have told her ma !' making me even guiltier. I was like 'Only RM2 wert'. But if only I'm not that honest to admit that I'm above age to the counter girl, I would have saved the 2 bucks, right?

After the book fest, we wanted to get 'Roti Boy' just before we leave. So we were queueing up and paid the cashier for our buns but we have to wait as the buns are still in the oven. So then after the buns are ready, another lady packed the buns for us. She was packing the buns in a hurried manner into the paper bags and there was like 5 buns in one bag when she pushed towards me and asked ' Siapa punya 5? you punya? ' Then, I shooked my head and a customer behind me said '2 saya punya'. The bun lady ask me again, ' 3 you punya?' and I shooked my head again, showing her 2 of my fingers. Another customer from the back said it's hers and so, the lady bun passed the bag with 3 buns to her and packed another 2 buns for me.

I could have taken her 5 or 3 buns as she didn't request to check my receipts also. Instead I took 2. MK shooked her head again with the 'aiyo-you-ar, look' But then again, I would have felt a slight twinge of guilt for cheating. At least, at the end of the day, I'm happily home with MY 2 buns.

Doink I may be, but honesty is the best policy, no ?

Tada, holiday here I come !

Finals are finally over! Done with the first semester. I can now heave a sigh of relief. Phew. The long awaited break is here and there are so much to do but sadly I only have like 13 days of break * appreciate that lots since the last time I had any break was the time I finis STPM ? feels like years ago now. Lol.

Anyways, these are the plannings for my precious 13 days of holiday :

1) Have a good read : Harry Potter 7 and Mitch Albom's books!

2) Get my mp3 fixed. Sigh, I don't know why it's always in sleep mode after some time I never touch it.

3) Finish my animes :
-Bleach! (I'm already at epi 219 =p)
-Emma (season 1 & 2)
-rewatch Ouran High School (if I ever have the time which I doubt. Lol)


4) Get a haircut. Ahh, my hair is getting longer and out of shape! Beh tahan lah. Been so long since I last cut it. I seriously must get it done by this holiday.

5) Book fest! It's my ever first time to a book fest, so kinda excited about it. Books are getting more expensive now, I hope they have more discounts during the book fest. Oh, and I also want to go to the miserable mall in PJ, named The Atria. Vk said that I'm able to get brand new fictions as low as RM8 there!! @.@ Why are all the books sales always at those ulu places. Sigh.

6) Meeting up with my old friends. Oh, I've already started to meet up with some of my friends today. It'll certainly be good to see them back after some time =)

7) Go for a movie! It's been awhile since my last movie. Was it Transformers? Or HP 6?

8) Celebrating Mun Jie Jie's birthday! This'll be a great one, I know ;p


*Alas, hopefully I'll get all of these done by this two weeks of break. Cheers~ I shall now sit back and relax =)

We were suppose to go back right after our family photograph session in Ling Kee

*boy do we look like tourist, taking pictures one by one and chatting ever so loudly like we've never seen each other for years although the last time we've met was the previous weekend. Lol



Instead, we walked out from the restaurant and chatted till


the shop is closed. And we were still chatting till everyone decided that we should really go home.


I was so full at that night. Gained at least a kg. Haha.
