Try-Outs!

2010-10-02T23:00:00.001+08:00

Today met up with Keong and Emma after soooo long! Hugs and kissess!!!
First went to lunch in McD with Keong. Then went window shopping. I've always wanted to try out clothes just for fun and not buy them like they do in the movies and music videos lol. And today was the day yay! Thx to Keong lol. He was trying on clothes and it didnt occur to me till he suggested me to do it too. Talk abt a new definition for retail therapy LOL. It was soo much fun! Thx Keong!

Later at nite, I went to meet up with Emma in Starbucks. Boy it's been like forever since i last saw that girl. We were just talking and talking over a cup of the worst tea i've ever tasted lol. She's changed a lot. Soo different. But i think i can handle it. No prob. Take care of urself aite Em.

I wanna see the rest of u guys soon!

West Coast Represent!

2010-09-18T22:52:00.001+08:00

I had the best holiday ever! 2 weeks break for Eid ul-Fitr and half the states in west coast peninsular Malaysia was covered. AWESOME! My first backpacking trip too. Thx USM for ur free huge backpack :p
First we went to Taiping and stayed in my house. Then we took bus we went to Ipoh and stayed in Ee Vonne's house. After that we carpooled to Cameron Highlands. Then bus again to Tampin in Negeri Sembilan. From there, Melaka by public bus. In Melaka, we stayed in Azlan's house for raya. It was totally fun. We met a lot of Azlan's frens there and had tonnes of cookies and raya specialties.
Later train to KL Sentral. My first time taking a train since i can remember. My mom told me that we've used the train before when i was small but i don't remember it at all. Catching the train was soo damn funny. We were late and were rushing like mad to reach the station. Azlan frantically called the KTM office to ask them to please wait for us for a while but the person on the other side said she can't promise anything. We were stuck in jam. Clock was ticking away. The train was waiting for us by the time we reached. Azlan's car bonnet had to be opened with a key and we just pulled out all the bags from there and literally ran inside the train. It was freaking like a scene from the Amazing Race or something. I will never forget it.
In KL, we stayed in Yfong's house. Her room is like freaking huge. We were really comfortable that nite. Then we went to Selangor by train and after that i came back to Taiping by train. The train back was nice coz me, Ee and Constant took the same time. Ee got down first in Ipoh, then i did in Taiping and last C in Butterworth. lol
The places that we went. Let's see: Taiping Lake Gardens, Taiping Museum, Burmese Pool, War Memorial Cemetery, Maxwell Hill, Taiping Sentral, Sky Bar, Ipoh City, De'Gardens, Ipoh Jusco, Buddhist & Taoist & Hindu temples, Kellie's Castle, tea garden, some jungle, Tampin town, Melaka city, Mahkota Parade, A'Famosa, St.Paul's Church, some historical buildings, Maritime museum, KL city, KLCC, KL Tower, KL Times Square, Cosmo's World Theme Park, Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, Bintang Walk, a reggae bar, Chinatown, Blueboy, Sutraa, Batu Caves and more places i can't remember now. I think the most places that we went is in KL. And of course lots n lots of McDonald's. Hahaha. In Cosmo's Marcela and I had so much fun. We did the roller coaster like 3 times lol. While Victor was sleeping in Starbucks :p
Although initially it was 5 of us, along the way we met up with Fabio and Abz. It was good to see them. Coz most of the times, i was a fifth wheel on the trip. The first thing Abz said to me when she saw us: "Hey, you're the 5th wheel!" And i'm like "OMG u know that?" And she replied "Duh i'm an American." LOL.
Thx Azlan and Yfong for letting us stay in ur place! It was the awesomest trip ever!

p/s: Got into a bit of trouble with relatives coz i couldn't attend a family gathering because of the trip. Haizz.. Hope they're not mad at me.

Third Wheel.

2010-08-31T15:18:00.003+08:00

I'm just waiting and waiting. And waiting. For my laptop. For the call. I dont want to call them. I'm afraid. I'll just wait. And try not to think abt it. Though the lack of laptop means boredom maximum, i'm doing fine. Reading books and stuff. Been getting assignments done thanks to Iwan and Constant. Thx guys!

Talking abt being a third wheel, i've never thought i'll go through this. I've always encouraged my frens to date each other but never once i expected it to mess me up. Well there were a couple of time with Tiko and a few ppl but it was okay coz Tiko's cool at balancing i suppose. N then there were Emma and Nat. I knew Nat thru Emma so when they were all lovey dovey i was still okay with it. But now when 2 frens whom i'm close with are dating, it's so depressing. They're like always cuddling and stuff and I'm just staring blankly at random stuff. I wish Yoshini was in USM. She's so near yet so far.

Well i better get back to the assignments and test revisions now. Argghhh!

The pieces of my heart are tired...

2010-08-12T13:00:00.004+08:00

It's been like soooooooo long since i last posted a blog entry. I got the initiation from Yfong who blogs kinda consistently eventhough she's busy. Thx Yfong!
Well, things have been going the same way lately. Going to classes, going out with frens, and rarely getting the chance to hang with BFFs. Haizz.. N it's all getting so tiring. Life is tiring. I'm doing the same routine again and again. N it's like boring me to the point of hopelessness. N with all the drama that sometimes happens with classmates and the rest of the universitymates. I miss my home and my mom n my dad. Of course i dont miss the dweebs. Not going back every weekend makes going back once in a while priceless. N hanging out with BFFs at that moment, is precious. Miss u guys! TIKO! This goes out to u. My sense of longing is progressing into frustration!
Other than that, i have a few plans for this semester. But i'm scared of planning them in detail coz i believe that i have this curse that whatever i plan does not happen. I could go on saying Y me? but it wont do me any good ever. Might as well just give up on that. I plan to kinda visit all over Malaysia and some other places as well. Haizz i'm terrified to even mention the names. Whatever la. See how it goes later.
N my studies so far is suckish. Not concentrating properly in any of the classes yet. But so far loving Spanish. It's like sooo awesome. Plus with Constant, Victor and Marze, i can practice my español on them :p
Currently watching Glee and wat else can i say. Adoring it! Skins is after this. Wait for me! But the harsh nature of Skins kinda takes a toll on me. It's like watching a teen tv version of an indie movie. Wat the heck? Lol. but nevertheless i noe once i start season 3 n 4, i wont be able to stop.
Hmm i dunno what else to write for now. Perhaps later when i remember something i will. ¡Saludos!

Glitter Puke!

2010-06-10T00:08:00.003+08:00

Recently i went on a downloading frenzy on all Ke$ha related mp3s. That's when i bumped into this song called Glitter Puke and it’s actually the parody of the song Tik Tok by my beloved Ke$ha. It’s by a group of people who make parodies of songs called The Key Of Awesome. It’s really funny. Watch the video in Youtube here.
And here's the funny lyrics:

KE$HA:
Wake up in the morning looking greener than Shrek
(SHREK:
Where is that donkey?)
KE$HA:
Sleeping in a tub can really mess up your neck
Before I leave, I stop and vomit up tequila and glitter
It seems I’m spending every morning with my head in the shitter

Got vomit up in my hair (hair)
But I’m way too sick to care (care)
Now I’m falling down the stairs
I-I-I pull myself off the floor (floor)
And I’m almost out the door (door)
But my family’s waiting for me

Oh crap, not again it’s an inervention
It’s cool, I’m fine, I can stop it any time

DAD:
That’s a lie, you won’t try
Now you’ve made your mother cry
Look!

MOM:
(Crying) Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

KE$HA:
I’m out of here, this is queer
I just drink a couple beers

MOM:
Don’t leave, we love you
We even hired Dr. Drew

DR. DREW:
This pattern needs to end

KE$HA:
I think I’ve got to puke again
Oh, oh, oh, *barf*

So I decide to stay, but my head is still reeling
Then they go down the line talkin’ ‘bout their feelings

BROTHER:
It makes me sad when I see you brush your teeth with jack
I’ll say you borrowed my girl bike and never gave it back

DAD:
Stop showing off your butt (butt)
You’re making young girls act like sluts (sluts)
And you’re starting to get a beer gut, beer gut

DR. DREW:
This behavior is a dead end
And P.Diddy is not your friend
You’ll end up like Lindsay Lohan
L-L-L-L-Lohan

KE$HA:
This is whack, I feel trapped

DR. DREW:
We want the old Ke$ha back

KE$HA:
Screw you Dr. Drew and your stupid camera crew

MOM:
Hey you don’t have to shout
We’re just trying to help you out

MOM, DAD, BROTHER:
(Crying) Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

KE$HA:
Ok, it’s time you know
This is just a video
I don’t drink or pee in sinks
It’s what I want my fans to think
It’s all an act, and in fact
It’s even in my contract

MOM, DAD, BROTHER:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, we didn’t know
Oh

KE$HA:
Ha ha ha ha
Oh… god…

I (HEART) getting SKINSed!!!

2010-06-01T20:45:00.012+08:00

Okay so me and my frens were like totally into IUTs last sem and we still are of course. So whenever i went to any site to download the IUTs, Skins would definitely be featured in the site. N now that i'm on semester break, i decided to give Skins a try to find out wat the heck is all the fuss about. I noe it's a UK made tv series abt teenagers, and since i'm like already into GG, i didn't think i'd be much impressed. Little did i noe, i'd get hooked to it! It's like one of the most foul-mouthed, over-the-top-wild-characters-filled, nudity and sex promoting tv series with all the diff UK accents i've ever seen. N that's just the way i liked it hahahaha.

The specialty abt Skins is that it's abt students doing the Sixth Form for 2 years, so there's like 1 series (or season in US) for each year in Form 6. That means, the characters are changed every 2 series! That would definitely put a damp for those viewers who like to choose sides and root for their characters. U're gonna have to choose a diff character to root for once the tv serial reaches the odd series, Skinners! I shld say, even for non-fanatics (i'm one of those character-rooting-fanatics btw), it's hard to ignore the fact that the previous characters who shld have grown on u by the time u finish 2 series, won't be back for the 3rd series. So far i'm still in series 2, and the thought of my favourite characters Maxxie and Jal not returning for series 3 does make my heart in need of a plaster. Huhuhu...

But wat makes me feel better though is that i have found fellow Skinners among my friends! It turns out Pea is done with series 1 & 2, Fifi already started watching in Australia, and currently Jay is experiencing the joy in getting SKINNED as well! Thx guys! And another current obsession of mine that is Skins-inflicted is the downloading of all the songs used in every episode of Skins! Lol. It's a lot of work but so far i'm doing okay. Though some of the songs are only suitable heard with the the scenes from Skins, some of the songs are really good and are on my current always-listen-to playlist. And not forgetting all of the online videos of Skins! Not only is Skins aired on tv, a lot of mini episodes or additional videos are uploaded to the internet. So it is my quest to hunt and watch them all as well!

Well, I guess i shld continue get myself skinned for now... Ouch!

Generation 1

Generation 1 & 2

Generation 2

And of course, not forgetting, the trademark of Skins:
Wild & High Parties!!!

These wild parties that are portrayed in the series have actually sparked real wild drug and sex fueled parties in UK among teenagers lol. They go around organising parties called Skins Party and you can pretty much expect everything u watch in the series there, maybe even more haha.

The gang tired after another night and day of partying.

This is the clown logo that is used in Skins as an invitation. Somehow a creepy clown man comes out of nowhere. I'm still creeped out.

Maxxie making out with the man clown. =.= lol

Getting not-so-lost in Tambun!

2010-05-13T23:15:00.002+08:00

I was having my exams that time and Yfong was already on her sem break way earlier before me. I was stressed and she was bored. We both needed a getaway. So we started planning all these places to go to after my exams are over. Some ideas were reasonable but some were plain cuckoo. After putting it up in FB and everything, we finally decided to make a roadtrip to Tambun! Five of us were up for the trip: Me, Yfong, Keong, Yoshini and Amir. We decided to go today morning and come back by early night. So i 'borrowed' my dad's car and picked up Amir and Yoshini. After that i met up with Yfong and Keong in Tesco. Before we began our journey, we were considering of a last minute plan change to Bukit Merah instead. Hahahaha. But since we have to send Amir back to Ipoh, we stuck to the plan.

The journey there was fun. We were just talking n laughing in the car. Tonnes of goofs followed till we reached the theme park. Even parking the car in the parking lot was a whole load of laughter. LOL. The fun continued inside the theme park as well. Again we were laughing like hell just for the locker. We played in the water park first and took lots of pictures. Then we went to the amusement park all wet haha. After that we headed for the petting zoo. The petting zoo was AWESOME! One of the best petting zoos ever. Especially the birds cage. Loved all the birds there. After having lots and lots of fun and sunburns in the Lost World of Tambun, we decided to hit Ipoh Parade for lunch and rest. We were starving by that time. Since Amir is practically an Ipoh mali now, we didnt have trouble getting around and plus we got a free tour of Ipoh. I have to say it's a gorgeous city. It was my first time in Ipoh city as well as Ipoh Parade. In IP's food court, i created a fiasco when i lost and found my payment receipt to claim my ordered food lol.

Then we had a lot of fun while eating and continued taking load of photos. Then we only managed to walk a bit in IP because we have to send Amir back to his relative's house in Ipoh n then the rest of us have to head back to Taiping. The journey back was boring. We got a bit lost, but turns out we actually weren't lost. We just thought we were lol. Everyone was beat up and plain tired. Yoshini was not feeling well and had already vomited earlier in IP. But Yfong was there to keep me company while i was driving. Thanks Yfong! After sending Yoshini home and Keong to Tesco, i was on the way to send Yfong back when we narrowly missed an accident. It's was so close. OMG. That was freaky. And again Yfong was there. Huhu thanks again Yfong for not panicking with me lol. After sending Yfong back too, i reached home around 9pm and here I am blogging abt the day. My dad doesn't know abt the trip and hopefully he won't for a very long time :p

In the car, on the way to Tambun.

In front of the entrance.

Having loads of fun in the water!

Pretending to play beach volleyball.

One of the few shots of all of us.

At the amusement park. LOL

The AWESOME petting zoo!

Just walking around and exploring inside the place.

In Ipoh Parade!

Update: 1/6/2010
He still hasn't found out abt the trip. It's either that or he's just pretending. Love u Dad!

ALMOST wasted 6 months' work!

2010-05-06T21:19:00.002+08:00

Today was my last paper for the whole sem, HET123 or A Study Of Language. It's 4 unit paper so it weighs a lot when the final exam cgpa is counted. So me and Laila were studying for 2 days from morning to night in the library. We started on Tuesday after we finished our Public Relations paper, which was quite easy but i forgot a few details huhu.. So yesterday night after getting back to our rooms, we ymed while we continued studying till like 5am. Since my roommate already left home after finishing his exam last Sunday, i decided to study with Iwan and the gang coz we'll be having the exam in the same hall at the same time, that is 9am today. But today early morning, after Laila decided to go to sleep for a while at 5am, i decided to do the same. After leaving Iwan's room, i fell dead asleep in my room. I only woke up at 8.48am after i head Peanut's phone call. I did set alarm at 7am and it went off but i didn't hear it at all. The thing just kept ringing n ringing till i woke up. After panicking like hell, i just grabbed my LAME tshirt and a pair of jeans and ran like hell to the hall. Thank god i only reached 5 mins late and the paper was not that hard. If not for Iwan who got worried abt me and my Decadences, I'd be freaking sad right now...
THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!

What's up with roommates?

2010-05-02T23:40:00.003+08:00

What's up with roommate's these days? Now that the sem is going to be over, i am really worried abt who's gonna be my roommate next semester. Although we've had a few misunderstandings in the past, i would really like my current roommate to be the same next sem. I think he's a really nice roommate and all once i got to know him a lot better. N recently Peter just posted in his FB abt his roommate leaving him food when he cleared out of the room. N guess what? My roommate left me stuffs too! Books! He left me mass comm books since he's majoring in it and i'm minoring in it. So thoughtful of these guys do that. Here's wishing them the best!

Karmic Sneezathon

2010-04-30T11:06:00.005+08:00

I always had this problem with my nose where suddenly i'd just wake up one morning start having flu n major running nose and i'll be sneezing like Hell. Then my eyes would start burning and i'll have headache. It used to happen like once a week before but in USM it was kinda rare. Still would happen, just the flu n runny nose but without the 'sneezing like Hell' part. But y'day was the combination of the 3! Plus i had a paper. I was sneezing and wiping mucus (lol) coming out of my nose throughout the 3 hour paper. When the vigilators asked if anyone has coughing or flu i didnt say anything coz i didnt wanna wear that stupid mask.

The day went on with me running out of tissue and the sneezing getting worse n stuff. I was so hungry i ate like tupperware of fried rice from the cafe. After eating i just swallowed 2 tablets of panadol and went to bad. I woke up this morning and found that there might have been a reason for my sudden illness. It seems i've offended my friend Peter with a major social faux pass. He has been thinking abt it for a few days and it kinda affected my health as well. People, never underestimate the power of Peter. lol. I've appologised to him and hopefully things will get better. I'm SORRY again Peter!

¡Feliz Cumpleaños mi amor!

2010-04-24T17:53:00.014+08:00

Today is Yoshini's BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOSHINI!!!

But unfortunately, I've been such a moron today. I FORGOT to wish her!!! Of course i remembered the date and even talked abt it with her a couple of days before and all. But i forgot to do the most important thing: To convey my wishes on the day that it really matters! I'm sooooooo SORRY Yoshini... But just now i did after she called me and i heard the comotion of her birthday party at the back. I couldn't go to her party with my exam week n all. Haizz.. Sorry again love.. Hope u'll forgive me..

I've chosen this pic coz she always blames me for embarassing her. So not taking chances this time. lol

¡Adios! Señor Omar.

2010-04-23T22:23:00.009+08:00

Today was the farewell party for Mr.Omar, my Spanish language teacher for 2 years. I first saw Señor Omar Rodriguez Estellar during my orientation week in USM. He was speaking in front of thousands of students during foreign language promotion day to promote Spanish. But he didn't need to promote Spanish to me. I've already loved the language since primary skool. Well the spanish telenovelas first n then the language but i would never pass the opportunity to take up Spanish. So i took my first level last sem and loved it. There are 2 Spanish teachers for USM but it's a good thing I got Mr.Omar. Since he's a real spaniard, (the other teacher is a malaysian), he gave us all the background and cultural knowledge of wat we learnt in class. It wasn't only abt the language but also abt everything else that has to with Spain. N fortunately, i got Mr.Omar as my teacher again for Spanish level 2 this sem. N as usual, classes were so much fun! I found Elizabeth, my coursemate, who shares the vision of completing LAE 400 by the time we graduate. But unfortunately, all good things come to an end... His contract in Malaysia will be expiring soon and he doesn't want to renew it. He wants to continue his life in another part of the world. Though i wish him the best, I'll definitely miss him like hell when I'm taking the 3rd level. According to him, there'll be a new teacher substituting him. Hopefully that teacher is as nice as him. Goodbye Mr.Omar!!! Take care...

~Mi profesor favorito~

Mi clase de español.

Comiamos en Pelita.

My FIRST day of 1st year 2nd sem finals!!!

2010-04-20T19:47:00.006+08:00

Well today i panicked. I panicked when i, who left my room at 2pm for the exam hall at 2pm, found that everyone was already inside the freaking exam hall! I was preparing for it until the last 45minutes, accompanied by my secret weapon, Jay and USM (lame) Hotspot, coz i only started revising yesterday. Haha....huhu.... That's wat i always do. I never learn. Always last minute. It's something abt the damn adreline during last days before exam. After that i went makan with my classmate-gal-pals, with whom i never ate together before i think. Too bad my cousin didn't join. If not it could have been an E.M. Foster affair. Lol. Anyway enjoy some photos of us. Pea as usual being all herself (bringing to the exam hall her Nokia 5730 Express Music and her Ipod Touch and calling someone exactly after her exam paper was taken) lol and Fifi as cute as always!

i LOVE my BFFs!!!

2010-04-17T23:54:00.004+08:00

Study week started last Saturday so what else to do but to go back home and have fun??? That was a rhetorical question by the way so don't answer it with words like 'study' and 'revision' lol. An issue that has been bugging me for the past few weeks is the lack of updates and the gap between updates in my blog. After much contemplation and discussion with my BFFs, i've decided to just continue with this blog. Instead of deleting this blog or starting a new one, all i have to do is just work harder. So here's my latest entry after a bit of emotional instability. I decided to make it like a homage to my my BFFs. These are the photos taken this week during study week when i hung with them lol.

Taufiq, Emma, Amir, Keong, Shawn, Yfong, & Tiko

I couldnt meet up with Yfong and Tiko coz they didnt come back to Taiping this weekend... :(
But i cant wait for my sem break when i'll see all of them together again. N then we play the guessing game yea? *wink wink*

Just a mere past obsession??

2010-04-13T01:18:00.002+08:00

I used to love blogging. I blogged freaking religiously. Like almost every single night. After everything was done. I'd blog. But now. The thought doesnt even occur to me. Always with the forgetting. With the delaying. With the excusing. Feel like starting over. Starting afresh. With new posts. New entries. New stories. Sigh. Rid of the old. Start with the new. Shld i? I shld. I will.

Mid-Term Exam Load!

2010-03-11T20:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday evening was one of the craziest. I had 2 tests and preparation for today's oral test. The tests were postponed and postponed from previous weeks and ended up being in the same time slot on the same day =.="
HET 123, my linguistic paper was planned from 8pm to 9pm while YBP224, the Public Relations paper was scheduled from 8pm to 10pm. I was like DIE. How to do both at the same time. Adding to the misery was my Malay oral presentation for LKM400 which was to be on the next day. A senior who had the same prob of clashing papers advised me to talk to the PR lecturer like she did. The lecturer gave my senior another time at 5pm to 7pm to do her exam. i took the slot for granted and went in for the exam with my frens without letting the lecturer noe abt it earlier.
Boy we were in trouble. She was mad that we were taking advantage of her. But thank god she's a nice person and we got to sit for the exam. I'm quite confident with the paper. We'll see how it turns out. After that we went to the other exam hall for the English paper. That paper was quite hard coz i didnt read much for it being the lazy being that i am, spending my time facebooking and blogging. lol.
After the paper, me and my team members, Laila, Elizabeth and Jaclyn tried to practice for our malay oral test the next day. Me and almost all of my classmated hated that Malay teacher bcoz of her method of teaching which is very different from out major course environment. The diff between English and Malay has always been so obvious in the class. Every class would feel like hell. After practicing, we headed back to our hostels. Me and Peanut had already planned to wear formal to class today. So we were decked in out 3/4 formal attire (lol) during the whole day today. Peanut's tie was borrowed by Junior. Thx a lot Junior! But unfornately something bad happened to the tie. I'm really really sorry abt the tie Juno. Our presentation went well eventough i sucked quite bad. The thing that has turned my life around happened today during lunch at Bakti Permai. Our teacher treated me and Elizabeth lunch. NOOO!!! Now me and Eli owe her our gratitude. So no more trashing our LKM400 teacher... May she be kind and nice to all of us... Amen.

Hola! Que Tal?

2010-03-09T00:01:00.001+08:00

iHola amigos! Es Vimal de espanol Plano 2. Lol i've decided to start blogging again after more than 3 months thanks to a few other bloggers and also the internet service in my hostel. The wifi now is better bcoz they've installed routers in every cubicle, so now we can at least connect and surf some light websites though it's still very slow when it comes to loading. Lots and lots of things have happened in 3 months. Things that has changed my life and will continue changing my life and would change my life in the future. For starters, i lost my phone (Nokia 5130a Blue Xpress Music), exactly on this day, a month ago. I lost it on 9th February 2010 which was also a Tuesday like today. I've had the phone for almost a year, and i got it thanks to Yfong. RIP phone... I hope the person who stole it rots in hell or something. N to save me from the agony of getting another phone as the replacement (been there, done that), i bought the same model phone in the same color again, with the diff being it is Nokia 5130c, with flight mode.
One more thing would be the fact that i'm now back to living with my real roommate for this session. We're doing fine so far. N i've just applied for the hostel next session as well. Hope i'll get it. *Fingers crossed*

Blogging....

2009-11-29T12:55:00.003+08:00

I've decided that from now on i'm only gonna use my blog to express my feelings rather than using it to share my photos n activities like i did before. The decision is made based on my laziness to type n upload photos lol. Besides the wifi in my hostel sucks. Till next time. Daa...

EEFFFFIIIINNNNNGGGG EX-ROOMMATE!!!!!!!!

2009-10-14T23:12:00.003+08:00

OMG, today i just found out something else when i went somewhere for something else. Junior is having a bit of problem with his roommate as well. So me and E-wan accompanied him to the house of a person in Tekun's administration. While there talking, the person was saying that if possible roommates should try to settle differences among themselves. N you noe wtf he said? "For example a student called 'A' submitted a letter of complaint about his roommate last month. And when i called a few days after, he said he resolved the issue with his roommate already." =.=

I'm A's roommate and that A is a dumb liar. That thing told me that a person from the office will be coming to inspect our creaking room door and the holes in the floor cement. Good thing i wasnt in the room that time and i moved out the week after. That bloody soab didnt tell me he'll be coming to inspect me. N y would he wanna come to inspect me? Because that bloody toyol went and complainted about me and even dared to lie to me about it. I sooooooooo hate him. No wonder it's been so long since it looked me in the eye during Mass Comm tutorials or when we bump into each other in Tekun. N u noe wat else it did? During a Mass Comm tutorial work last week it dared not to do any preparation for it at all. Good thing i did my part and we survived using that. N the person also said that every complaint letter goes into the permanent record of the students, which bloody means that my record is already tainted. Students with tainted record face a high probability of not getting a hostel room next year. N i was listening to all this with an innocent curious face while the other person was just going on not realising i'm involved in this complainting drama as well.

I hope he rots with fungus in that room.

Georgetown!!!

2009-09-13T22:25:00.000+08:00

Tourists just love Penang. There is just so much to see and experience it seems. So me, Rebecca and Peter decided to see for ourselves wat Georgetown has to offer. Since I'm from Taiping, Rebecca's from KL and Peter's from Malacca, we taxied to the Chowrasta Road. From there, i smsed Nazrin and he came over to guide us a bit. We went to lots of really really cool places in Georgetown.
I love colonial buildings that are not built by Malaysians coz Taiping is full of them. So when i saw similar buildings here as well, I totally fell in love with Georgetown as well. We went to loads of streets and roads and met all sorts of people.We went to a few arts galleries, a shop that sells beaded shoes that are worth like RM1000, and not forgetting Little India haha.
I saw tram tracks, tiled roads, wonderfully architectured buildings, and a painter sketching something while seated on walkway.I think i like Georgetown a lot ady. I even like saying Georgetown haha.

Soo many things in 1 day!!!

2009-09-12T23:04:00.005+08:00

Today i went out with Nazrin to Queensbay Mall to accompany him while he does Raya shopping. I reached there earlier than him and had a lot of time to myself lol. I've always been a bit apprehensive abt Queensbay Mall coz it's very big and confusing for me. But of course Perangin Mall is worse. So i just went to the information counter and got the floor directory. With that i was just walking n walking looking at all the high-end stores and boutiques. Soon Nazrin reached. After much window shopping, he bought a statement t-shirt at The Brand Shop i think.

After that i was rushing back because i was to play frisbee in the minden field this afternoon at 4pm and it was already 3pm. But there was no bus at all. Huhu... But then THANK GOD, i saw my mentor, Abang Syahmi and 2 other seniors in a car. N they offered me ride back to hostel. Yay. Thanks a lot guys! But i had to leave Nazrin behind. Sorry Nazrin.
So then i made it to frisbee after all. Frisbee was soo much fun as usual. There was even a boomerang. After frisbeeing i played badminton in the court for a while.

After frisbee i left for dinner appointment with E-Wan. We decided to eat in Pizza Hut in Sungai Dua. N there, by the time we were done eating, we found out the bill was RM34.50 just for the 2 of us lol. I'm traumatised a bit haha.
After we got back from Pizza Hut, the first thing that i did was to move in to E-Wan's room lol. I know my roommate goes back to his hometown every weekend. So i decided to take that opportunity to move without anyone, including him knowing lol. It took me 9 trips back and forth to move everything from my floor in 8th floor to E-Wan's room in 4th floor. But i did leave a few unimportant stuffs in my room to give the impression as if i'm still living there and all. I wonder how long it'll take my 'ex-roommate' to realise that i dont live there anymore? I've OFFICIALLY MOVED OUT & MOVED IN PEOPLE!!! Eat dirt ex-roommate!

Shopping... Again!

2009-09-07T23:30:00.000+08:00

Today i went to Prangin Mall again. This time with Nazrin again. N guess who made a suprise visit from Taiping? It was Danny! The 3 of us were shopping like mad. This time i bought a Paul Smith collared tshirt, a Paul Smith short sleeve shirt, a Hot Element tshirt and a Hot Element skinny jeans. I cant disclose the prices here coz some people would freak is they knew how much i spent. Nazrin bought a skinny jeans, meanwhile Danny bought a pair of shoes, an ankle band and a tshirt. We bought so much that all 3 of us became members of Ex Soldier boutique in one day haha. Yoshini also joined us for a while and bought a Y necklace from Beadszone as well. N i bought my lunch from McD again. N i ate it in a secluded place while chatting with the guys. We left at abt 6pm.

Me, Nazrin and Danny at the fitting room in Touch boutique haha.

Shopping Flick

2009-09-06T23:12:00.000+08:00

Today i went out with Peter to Prangin Mall and Komtar. It was an effort by the both of us to mend things back. I know we can do it. I am totally ready and i know Peter is trying his best. Anyway, we went shopping like mad. I was madly window shopping while Peter was madly shopping haha. We even managed to catch Dance Flick. OMG!!! It was soooooo awesome and majorly funny. I was laughing so loudly like a mad person. Totally recommended to all the teens out there, and also Peanut lol. We went lunch in McD and by the time we got back in the evening, i was falling sleeping in the bus haha.

I LOVE Frisbee

2009-09-05T23:33:00.001+08:00

Today i went Gurney Plaza for the first time with Nazrin. We didnt buy anything there lol. Just window shopping and walking in a few shops. Then for lunch i decided to have McValue Lunch. N since Nazrin cannot eat, i just made it take-away. Then we sat on the wall beside the dirty seaside opposite Gurney Plaza so that i can eat my lunch haha.

Then when we wanted to go back we got lost a bit looking for the bus stop. By 4.30pm i was back in USM coz i had a frisbee meeting at 4pm haha. I rushed there n got there just in time for the game. It was soooo much fun. Peanut, Nadia and Peter were playing it for the first time. I totally love Ultimate Frisbee. Later at nite we met up with Edmund in Pelita for breaking fast. After dinner, Edmund had to leave coz he had something to do. The 4 of us went to Baskin Robbins for desert instead haha. After that we left for our hostels. Nadia and Peanut went back to Fajar Harapan, meanwhile me and Peter went back to Tekun and Restu. Things didnt go smoothly with me and Peter today throughout all of the activities. But at the end of the day, after we all went back, we texted and decided to go shopping together tomorrow.

Me, Peanut, Nadia and Peanut in Baskin Robbins.

1 week & 1 day

2009-09-04T23:59:00.001+08:00

1 week & 1 day... That's how long we lasted. We r just too different from each other. N the things that we are expecting from each other is also different. I think it's the best if we just took some time off to think about this. I hope we could still be frens, as we were before. All ur laughters and smiles have faded into depression and tears. I don't want this for u anymore. I'm sorry...

Peanut VS Aliens

2009-09-04T21:26:00.000+08:00

Today i went out with Peanut. We went to Queensbay becoz Peanut needed to get some paperworks regarding her money done. While we were there, Peanut did some very small shopping and we both did a lot of window shopping. For lunch, Peanut accompanied me in Nando's, where i tried their Seasoned Chips, Hahaha McD fries is still my all time favourite. Then we decided to catch a movie. Since i watched a few of the movies being screened at that time, we

decided to watch Aliens in The Attic.

It was okay and a plus point for me was Ashley Tisdale haha. But the bessssttttt part of the movie was the kungfu-matrix fusion battle between granny and boyfriend. OMG! The granny is played by Doris Roberts, whom i've seen acting in a Hallmark movie called Our House. She's a great actress. N the boyfriend is acceli Ashley's boyfriend, who's played by Robert Hoffman. I dunno him lol. N after that for breaking fast we went to the Chicken Rice Shop coz we already made reaervations before. The food was okay la. The best part of the whole trip is spending quality time with Peanut. Thanks Peanut.

Doris Roberts

Robert Hoffman.

My USM Whinings... Part 2

2009-09-01T10:46:00.004+08:00

My bloody roommate strikes again. This time he's going around spread news about me. N now the whole indian community in my hostel, Tekun noe ady about wat i did. Should i care? Or should i just ignore wat they are saying? Of course i'd choose the latter. But then again, the worry of wat's gonna be my consequenses exists and is holding me in fear. N this time after wat happened, he seems to be more intent in changing room. I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed for everything...

p/s: N he has the nerve to borrow money from me...

:-)

2009-08-27T23:31:00.000+08:00

I'm officially in a relationship right now :-)

The date: 27th August 2009

It's a wrap.

2009-08-27T16:01:00.002+08:00

Yesterday we finished recording the dance for Ayan's Oyayeye. It was a wrap lol.

My USM whinings... Part 1

2009-08-26T13:47:00.004+08:00

Okay, here's the thing. I've always refrained myself from trashing people in my blog coz i couldnt care less abt the people i hate, unless they go around telling ppl they dont like me too. U see, i dont like the taste of my own medicine. So i've decided to take it up to the net.

Let me start with the basics. I was ragged in USM for abt 3 weeks after the orientation week. Okay fine. Then for the Indian Cultural Society Interaction Night they made me and my batchmates dance on a specific date that i was free on. Okay fine. I was totally practicing with my dancing teammates and the choreographer is a well respected senior. Okay fine. Then suddenly they changed the date of the function to this weekend on 28th August. Not fine. I was already planning to go back to Taiping on Friday morning and attend the family function. After that i'll come back on Monday to USM somehow. But since i cannot make it on Friday night and i dont want to make it anyway, my teammates all seem to be disappointed with me. The problem is they all wanna dance on stage but i dont want because i cannot. Plus i dont want also because i dont like the people that'd be coming and i'm fed up with them ady. Huhu.. but i feel so bad for my friends. Besides, they are in plan B of videotaping our dance and projecting it during the night. Okay rite? But whatever it is, i'm sticking by decision to not be here on friday night. I dont care wat's gonna happen and i'm ready to bear the consequences.

N another thing would be my roommate. When i first came in, i didnt like him, so i was trashing him to certain people for about 4 weeks. Then i stopped because i got used to him ady. Now suddenly out of nowhere, the story that he's trashing me to people that i noe is coming about. WTH? He's saying that he wants to shift out of our room to another room because i'm unhygenic and he cant stand it anymore. I'd be very happy if he moves out and all but moving out because i'm a dirty person?? Whatever la. I don't care. I've seen unclean people living in dirty rooms in unhygenic ways and i noe i'm not one of them. So hopefully fellow roommate, i hope u move out to another room with a guy who lives, eats and sleeps like a PIG! Then u'll appreciate me. If u're not moving out this sem or next sem, u just wait n see. I'm sure u'll end up somewhere like that in our 2nd year. If u still end up bunking with me, i'll be the one who moves out. But wat if i end up with the 'pig' instead? lol :p

p/s: Note that i didnt mention any of my roommate's flaws. I'm being the better person here *coughs*

?Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift?

2009-08-21T12:43:00.005+08:00

What's up with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift?? Okay maybe i'm very very late but i just watched Taylor Swift's 'You Belong With Me' music video yesterday =.= . N Taylor's crush in the video is none other than Tucas Till, who played Miley's crush in Hannah Montana: The Movie. N even before that, when Miley was still dating Justin Gaston, he was featured as Taylor's crush in the music video for 'Love Song'. The pattern is that Miley would get the guy first and then Taylor would use him for her video. Whatever it is, hope u guys r frens and no public catfights in the future!

District 9: Traumatisingly Memorable

2009-08-19T23:42:00.001+08:00

Today i went to the goriest and the most in depth alien movie ever: District 9. As i said it's traumatising, yet u'll still want to remember it back. I went with Taufiq.

And after the movie, i went to Emma's place. We hung there for a while. And after that went to Taufiq's place again to pick him up and we headed to McD. We stayed there and talked for till 2am haha.

GI Joe: Rise Of The Cobra

2009-08-18T21:40:00.000+08:00

The movie was awesome! I went to the movie with Emma to spend some quality time with her and it was great. lol. We shld do it more often Emma! And in the movie, i loved Storm Shadow.

Snake Eyes

'K' is dropped...

2009-08-18T21:04:00.004+08:00

Well, i officially dropped K from my MSN and Bluetooth display name of ~V!MaL~ + TEAK today. Now it's only ~V!MaL~ + TEA. It's not a big deal acceli. It's just that Keong really has moved on to a better place. He has a new life there and seems to be comfortable there ady. N i cant be all over him like i was before. Things r different now. It's totally a 'It's not you, it's me' situation. He didnt do anything wrong or something like that. He was one of the best BFFs ever. One of the first ones of the few that i have. He even wore 'jippa' for my brother's wedding reception. How cool is that? We did lots n lots of wacky stuffs together. I remember them all like it happened yesterday. But i have to do wat i have to do.
Adios K. But Keong u're not going anywhere.

Goodboygonebad in person...

2009-08-14T23:37:00.001+08:00

Me and Ceddy after having drinks in Khaleel.

Ceddy being serious in Khaleel.

Lol Ceddy the Geek.

Today is the first time i met up with Ceddy face to face. I've been following (stalking) him for a long time thru his blog, MSN and also smses haha. He was on holiday since like July if i'm not mistaken. So since i m also in Penang i wanted to see him since then but i've always had some stuff to do. N then suddenly Ceddy started working in Starbucks. I noe how hectic the Baristas' worktime and everything is so i was like "I'm never gonna see him". Lol but after a week he was free again. So we decided to meet up today. Ceddy being Oprah picked me up at the bus stop in front of my hostel and we went out. We went to the Times Square and after that Perangin. In between we got lost and banged a car lol. In Perangin we watched a thai horror movie called The Screen. It was really scary at times for me. It was abt a haunted cinema theatre and haunted movie reel. I was in a huge empty theatre with only 5 ppl more for God's sake!

After the movie we went back to my place to have a drink in Khaleel. After chatting n chatting-good thing my nose didnt start bleeding from all that laughter- Ceddy left.. One of the best days ever!

USM International Day

2009-08-10T20:26:00.000+08:00

There are quite a lot of foreign language classes offered in USM. And as my buds would already noe, i love Spanish. So naturally i took it up and am loving it. The professor is one of the best ever, Profesor Omar Rodriquez (note in Spanish we only use one 's'). So when the School of Language and Literacies organised the International Day, i decided to help out with the Spanish booth. It was really cool. On Sunday me and a fellow classmate Zhen Ee went to the Tesco with Mr.Omar to buy supplies to make the Spanish common delicacy, the Tapas. After that we went to his place and did a bit of preparation to make it tomorrow at the booth. N the next day, i made and bought all of the 3 types of Tapas that we made. One was the Vegetable Tapa, the other was Tuna Tapa and another was Egg Mayo Tapa lol. All 3 of them were awesome. But i dont have the pic of the Egg Mayo Tapa :(

Me, Zhen Ee and Profesor at his house.

My Lappy!

2009-08-09T16:20:00.000+08:00

Today i officially bought my lappy. It's a Compaq Presario CQ40-502AU. I decided to buy it during the PIKOM PC Fair in PISA coz of the loads of the free gifts that they offer.

My gift hamper!

Penang Botanical Garden

2009-08-08T19:09:00.000+08:00

I'm in the USM Environment Club and today they organised a trip to Penang Botanical Garden. I'm not a big plant life fan but i do think sometimes they r very beautiful to look at. Here are some of the snapshots i took:

Pimpin Siswa: Camping in the Jungle

2009-08-02T23:57:00.000+08:00

Huhu... Beginning this year, all first years have to join a camping trip called Pimpin Siswa. Mind you, this is a real camping with a camp tent.

My first impression that i got from my frens who already went there is that i wont be able to survive it. But suprisingly, on the 3rd day, i didnt feel like going back to the complicated life in USM. I felt like just staying. It was really fun when u take out all the non-sleeping hours lol. N i made lots n loads of frens haha. Unfortunately, our hps were taken away there for safety so these are the ony pics i managed to take:

During the briefing the day before with campmates Pushpa and Mogana.

Walking to the campsite.

On the way back in the bus.

Junior & Explorace USM

2009-07-26T22:53:00.007+08:00

Wat is wrong wit my frens?? Last week when i went back to Taiping, Emma was lying on the hospital bed. And this week in Penang, it's Junior! As adventerous as he is, he decided to try out wall-climbing, organised by 100Plus in USM. He reached the top and he fell =.=

That poor thing. We were all soo sad and worried. Coz he fell from the top and we all know wat impact to the backbone can do to u. (Dont worry he's fine now)
N this week i joined the USM Penang Explorace. N my team won woohoo!!! I joined it bcoz i wanted to get to know Penang better and i did! It was a 2 days 1 night race n i met loads of new frens too!

My team: Amanda, Nadia, Peanut, Edmund and ME!

Batu Ferringhi

Me and Peter!

The night activities.

The dorm we slept for the night. It was soo comfy.

The next morning.

Ready.. Set.. Go!!

In Rapid Penang.

At the finishing line. Phew..

Receiving our hamper a week after.

2nd time Back To Taiping

2009-07-19T12:33:00.006+08:00

Well i'm back in Taiping again for this weekend and i've got a chance to blog finally. This week the classes have started for serious and we've got all the assignments and homeworks. And instead of doing them over the weekend, i'm using up my time to catch up with frens and simply online without focusing on my priorities... Die la... I only managed to finish Spanish exercises and poem annotations which like only 20% of overall work...
N i dunno wat my gang is doing there in USM also lol.

It's okay. They can look after themselves, just like the gang in Taiping... except for Emma, who ended up hospitalised in her own workplace, The Columbia Asia Hospital lol. So me and Yoshini visited her there. Nothing to be worried about, she'll get better asap.

Not forgetting also, I went to watch Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince@!!! It was so nice. I totally understood it well because everything i already read in the book sorta like visualised itself.

I went with Yoshini after doing some shopping. She's going to Penang Unitar tomorrw lol.
N i'm leaving for Penang today in abt an hour...

p/s Went to Bukit Jambul this week and saw this monsters at an arcade:

N i also saw a junior from my high skool while i was on the way back to Taiping. Sshh... he's asleep...

1st time Back To Taiping

2009-07-11T23:10:00.008+08:00

I didnt feature my hostel in the previous entry so here it is, Desasiswa Tekun!:

And of course my faculty, the School of Humanities or Humanidades, as i learnt in my Spanish class lol:

I also bought a new USM bag lol.

It has been a week and the classes have commenced. I've seen my lecturers for this sem and so far most of them seem nice. I repeat, only most of them, not all of them. One of them gives me the creeps. So i decided to 'balik kampung' for the weekend, to settle my PTPTN and also run away from the male Indian freaks and morons who call themselves seniors in USM. They are making my life miserable. Anyway, one of my gf there, Pushpa was leaving to Kulim on Saturday. So i decided to tag along with her till the Butterworth bus station. To get there, we had to take a bus to the Penang Jetty and from there take the ferry and then take a bus to Kamunting from the bus station and then have my dad pick me up to get back home. OMG lol.

Views from the ferry.

I was sitting at the far back inside the bus to Kamunting.

N here let's see. On Friday night at abt 9.30pm went out with Yfong, Amir and Nazu coz it was Nazu's 20th birthday! Happy Birthday Nazu!!! I wasnt able to plan anything coz i just found out abt it on Friday itself plus i was mega tired and lazy. And today at noon, me, Yoshini, Amir and Hezry went to watch Hannah Montana: The Movie. OMG it was soo much more touching than it was funny. Loved it. Especially the Tyra Banks scene and of course Vanessa Williams' acting. N at first i used to not like the song The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Then after giving it a few more listen, i started to like it. But now after watching how the song fit in the movie perfectly, i love it. The song is so much better in the movie than with the music video.

Tyra Banks fighting with Hannah Montana for a pair of shoes lol.

Vita(Vannessa Williams) and Hannah Montana(Miley Cyrus)

After the movie, the four of us went to eat in one of Amir's favourite restaurant called Yut Sun. I didnt like it lol. Not going there again haha. And huhu... going back to Penang tomorrow...

Orientation Conclusion

2009-07-05T22:16:00.001+08:00

It's me from USM!!! Orientation week was so much fun. It was the week where everyone was extra friendly, including me. Lol. It was the week in which everyone used the activities organised to assess their batchmates and pick like-minded people, to be called BFs for the rest of ur studies. And through my assessment, which worked thank god, i've found a bunch of loonies that i am proud to call my friends and be a part of a gang with them. They are E-Wan(quiet/clever/friendly) from Sabah, Junior(loony, crazy, naughty) from Sabah, Hafiz (shy) a Taipingite as well, Ashraf(mysterious) from Sarawak, and Abol(expressive) from Penang itself lol. N we also have common frens like Azilah from Sarawak and Desmond from Ipoh. He's actually a long lost friend of mine from St.George's lol. And not forgetting my USM girlfriends, of whom i dont have any pics yet... Here i enclose some of the pics lol:

E-Wan, Junior and Me!

Hafiz, E-Wan, Ashraf, Junior and Me!

Azilah, Ashraf, E-Wan and Hafiz walking to the flyover to get into the campus from hostel.

Junior, Hafiz, Ashraf and Azilah.

Desmond, E-Wan, Me and Junior!

Abol, Ashraf, Hafiz, E-Wan and Me!

Abol, Ashraf, Hafiz, Junior and Me!

We had so much fun during the orientation week. But one problem would be that the bus service was not to operate during the whole orientation week. So all of us had to walk to the site of all the activities, guided by facilitators called PPSL. The furthest we walked would be to the main hall of USM call Dewan Tunku Syed Putra or DTSP. It's like 40 minutes away by foot. N there of course we had lots of boring speeches. It was so boring that sometimes we fall asleep:

But then again, there were some really fun times. Like we had Cheer Desa competition between hostels, and the live broadcast of Awal Ashari's Generasi Y.

Junior with the Tekun mascot lol.

During the Cheer Desa competition in USM stadium.

The set inside Dewan Budaya for the live broadcast of Generasi Y.

Awal getting us pumped up before the show.

Junior with Awal. 0.o

All the PPSL gathered on stage on the last day of orientation week.

And since orientation week ended on Saturday evening, we went to Tesco Extra in Sungai Dua at night. Lol the only thing that i bought was a packet of plaster that i bought for my toe that got hurt in Tesco 0.o N the next day, on Sunday, we took the bus to Komtar, to meet up with Junior's sister and the one and only Nazrin Puyeh!! I was soo excited. It's been so long since i last saw him. Then we went to Perangin Mall, Pacific and of course Queensbay Mall lol. Then but evening we were back in Tekun. Thanks a lot Nazrin!!

The day before the last day...

2009-06-25T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today is the last Badminton Day huhu T.T . So Melmel asked me to bring camera to take pics and keep as memory. I did bring camera but the batteries were already dead it seems haha. So i had to use my okay2 ony camera phone. Lol the results:

After badminton and everything, i went back home to start getting ready to leave the day after tomorrow. But alas, the online temptation won. By afternoon, suddenly Tiko suddenly texted me to come to his small appreciation party. So i helped Tiko a bit by calling a few more friends. But unfortunately, Emma couldnt make it. Some snapshots from the casual dinner party:

ITP, Here Amir Comes!!!

2009-06-24T23:23:00.000+08:00

Transformers just came out and of all the movies that i wanted to watch before i left for university, Transformers was the only one i went, thanks to that theatre that never plays all of the good movies. I booked the ticket y'day for me and Amir, and only before leaving for the movie today i found out that Yfong's time slot is the same as mine. So was Khazeman's and Ikhwan's time slot too lol. But we didnt sit in the same row though. The room was soo full. N when i booked y'day it was only like 10% full lol. Major support for Transformers it seems. The movie was as awesome as usual. But sometimes i got confused which was Decepticon and which was an Autobot lol.

WTH am i looking at? lol.

After the movie, everyone just went their own way. Yfong left with the frens, Khazeman also vanished, and Amir and me went window shopping to prepare for our unis. Oh yea, Amir decided not to go to KLMU and is going to ITP instead. After we had enough, we left to go back home.

Kampar's Brat

2009-06-23T23:31:00.003+08:00

I've been planning for today since so long. After so many obstacles, i felt that i've had enough. So i persuaded the 2 people whom were interested to go and were free today, Yoshini and Shikin to go to Kampar with me. It's my first time going there and first time driving on the highway. We left Taiping at 8.30am and I drove all the way to Kampar and back. In between we almost got lost in the highway and Kampar but pulled through haha. In Kampar we went to Tesco and New Town. There's like this one cool hotel in Kampar called Grand Kampar Hotel. It's absolutely awesome. Our initial plan was to just visit Keong in Kampar and on the way back stop at any place that seemed interesting, like Ipoh or Yoshini's grandparents house in Jelapang. Lol but little did we know that we'd end up in Gua Tempurung hahaha. It was an awesome cave. The other members of our expedition team were just as friendly as our tour guide haha.

The housing estate in Kampar specially for students... Creepy...

Keong's room and cupboard.

Yoshini on Keong's bed lol.

A rock i took from the cave.

After coming back home at abt 4.30pm, i quickly got ready to visit Maddy with Amir. Walao she served loads n loads of food there. I only ate as much as i can eat haha. After visiting Madam, by 7pm i rushed back home and changed for Praise Korea in Taiping Wesley Church that i planned to go to with Emma. I drove the car as fast as possible and yet reached to her place 20minutes late. From there, we rushed to the church to get a good parking spot and i think we did. But by that time the church was already almost full in the ground floor. So Yfong suggested we sit in the 1st floor. N i think it was a good idea. Watching the concert from upstairs was definitely nice. I knew a few of the songs they sang so it was so fun to sing it together with them. N Pastor Daniel Kim was the best. His past experiences that he shared with us were so touching... After that i sent Emma home and i drove back home.

The Korean band. They were really awesome.

Everyone joining in the spirit.

Happy Birthday Emma!!!

2009-06-20T12:00:00.004+08:00

Everyone's putting up the decorations.

The final look before Emma came.

Nat drove Emma exactly to the spot.
Boy was she suprised or wat?

She's making a wish. Aww how cute?

Cutting cake for all of us!

Me and Emma!!!

Fya, Me and Amir!

The attacks of toilet paper haha.

Today is Emma's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Emma!!! Tiko and I have been planning for today for the past few days. So today at abt 3pm, we met up in Tesco to buy some stuff for tonite's party. Lol as we bought everything and headed out, suddenly we bumped into Emma hahaha. She was on the phone. Tiko saw her but i only heard her voice. We quickly ran in opposite directions as far away as possible from her lol and the met back in the car park. We went location scouting and cake buying after that lol.
Later in the nite, all of Emma's bestest frens gathered at Taiping Lake Gardens to celebrate her birthday with a suprise party lol. And everyone joined in and lent their hands to make it a successful one. Major thanks to Fya, Yfong, Bie, Amir, Nat, Tiko and me lol. We just sat on pavement and talked n chatted till it was like 11pm+.
Something weird that happened to us that nite was wiuth a weird guy. He was riding along in his bike across the pavement and when he saw our cake and heard Tiko's friendly gesture, he literally parked his mbike and joined us. N most of us sorta like kept our distance. He was a malay guy and had his eyes on Fya though.. Anyway I was one of the 2 people there (the other one was Tiko) who wasnt that worried abt him. Everyone else's face looked like as if they saw a ghost. I was like =.= . I'm not sure why. Am i good at judging people or am i bad at judging people?
Then came a car, slowly it parked, and from it came out an Indian guy. As fast as lightning my frens started packing. I was like =.= . Then came out 2 girls and another guy. Everyone was like so relieved and continued wat they were doing. Turns out they were going to celebrate Father's Day there too (but they left after a while. Maybe we took their intended spot or something).
My actual point is, y r people so afraid of each other these days? I mean like we r all Malaysians yet we just keep to our fren circle and shut off any communication with anyone else. It doesnt even matter if they start talking to us first these days. People are like "Hey i dunno you. I'm not gonna talk to you. So you shouldnt either. Stop talking to me". I understand my frens were worried bcoz of some irrational action by some dumbass Indians and Malays in Kamunting and Taiping but.. Haizz... I'm speechless.
After that we wanted to go McD so the mbike guy left. The rest of us went McD and played Uno lol.

Leaf Insect?

2009-06-19T21:48:00.000+08:00

I've always seen stick insects but never seen a leaf insect live before lol. I havent blogged for a few days ady so using the insect as an excuse haha. It was like perched on the wall near the ceiling.

Well 2 days ago, Thursday, as usual was badminton day. Melmel brought a new galpal and the rest of us were just regulars. Yoshini made a comeback after a few months lol. She just quit work like last week. I drove the car today and picked Yoshini up and returned the car back to my home unscathed lol.
Today, i went on a disposing spree. Dispose off all the old books and papers in the house to rearrange all the needed books. It's one of the things that i have to get done before i leave. And since i'm allergic to dust, i started sneezing like mad straight away. With all that mucus from my nose... omg and with all the itching... But i just braved them all through for the sake of cleanliness lol. I quit hafway though. Decided to continue another day. Took a bath and my allergy settled a bit. Really bad at cleaning up... T.T

MPH in Taiping???

2009-06-17T18:29:00.003+08:00

Lol. Dont be fooled or excited Taipingites. It's just a roadshow. MPH Bookstores are in Taiping for a book fair selling their old stock and used books. I went there today with Amir and i thot it was awesome. Although most of the fiction novels are used, they r still in pretty good condition and major cheap. They also have loads of non-fiction books and other stuff. There were soo many choices i didnt noe which to buy. But in the end i settled for Bangkok Tattoo, Exit Strategy and The Project. All 3 of them are controversial and thrilling stories. Lol that's all i can say from reading the back cover. I havent started reading them. But Bangkok Tattoo is my first impression favourite so far hehe. Taipingites unite and visit TS's Atrium for the book fair. Dont miss out!

p/s: After buying, me and Amir went McValue and then went stalking muahahaha...

Not-so-headbanging Haircut

2009-06-15T20:59:00.001+08:00

Hmm... Today i just had a haircut, in preparation for me joining USM next week. I'm so nervous abt it. So to be on a safe side i cut my hair. I've been planning it since last week but somehow i just put it off with tomorrows and tomorrows. N thank god for the tomorrows because if not i wouldnt have been able to fully do my headbanging at the concert haha. I just love headbanging with long hair... So now that it's over, i felt the time had come for me to part with my hair lol. So i went for it. Tada...

Before

After

Adam Lambert + Drake LaBry = Adrake

2009-06-14T21:54:00.008+08:00

Well, Adam Lambert just came out with an oh-so-obvious and apparent confession that he's gay. Puh-leaze lah. We've known that like since day 1 of American Idol. N most of us(who appreciates singers that utilise their ability to reach major high notes) supported him for his vocal abilities and ignored his what-ever personal life. But that personal life of Adam proved to be far too juicy for me to be let up lol. This month, he came out to the media through the popular entertainment magazine: Rolling Stone. So, i dug a bit further and found pics of him and his BF(that is boyfriend) holding hands and stuff. There's even video of them together. Adam's bf is Drake LaBry, an interior designer and painter who's 24 yrs old. Adam is like 27 yrs old so i think they r pretty compatible. Lol i decided to call them Adrake haha. I'm happy for Adam and hope he's happy too.

Video of them walking together.

OMG!!! Estranged and Pop Shuvit!!!

2009-06-13T23:46:00.004+08:00

Yfong was planning for today since the past 5 or 6 days coz it was Estranged and Pop Shuvit's first concert in Taiping!!! It was all thanks to Era.fm. We were like totally hyped about it. All we could talk abt everytime we met up in this week was abt the concert. We checked online for the timeslots so that we dont miss out and I even tried to memorise a few of their songs(it paid off btw). It was the first time i'll be seeing them live and also first time going to a concert that i can really rock out to. So at 5.30pm i left to Amir's house and from the we rode our mbikes to Taiping Giant Hypermarket. We were early by 2hours lol. Then we met Emma and Nat there. Perodua had their roadshow as well so Amir test drove Viva auto while i sat beside lol. After that, we rushed to the front line and got ready for the concert.

It was a bit cloudy but thank god it didnt rain.

I took picture of the stage without realising it was Moots from Pop Shuvit on the stage. When everybody else realised though, they buzzed in as fast as bees.

Me and Emma seated on the tar while waiting for the concert to start.

Amir's hair is really getting way too much.

Dafi was the first to perform. For me he's like the Malaysian version of David Archuleta. They both didnt win the reality show they were in and both have boyish-looks. Plus loved by the young and also old.

Pop Shuvit's band came in first.

And their guitarist JD looked nerdy yet totally pro.

Moots! Pop Shuvit sang Wannabe, Oh Sizuka, Jump and Marabahaya. Loved it!

I think her name is Elyana. She sang Lady Gaga's Just Dance after one of her song. I thank her for that lol.

This guy is going to my ex-secondary school. I remember him from when i used to go there. He was at the concert with 3 more of his frens and he got the chance to dance with Elyana on stage. He sure looked like he enjoyed every minute of it.

This band's vocalist is a girl. But i have no idea wat's their name lol.

Acha Septriasa was also there. She sang like 3 songs, including the popular My Heart.

Estranged band members came out first before Rich.

Estranged!!!

Rich! They sang Aurora, Itu Kamu, Yang Pernah and 2 more songs. Rich was soo sporting and got into the crowd and rocked out there. But when he wanted to come out, everyone was pulling him into the crowd.
Sorry Rich! Hope he didnt hurt himself.

Andy is sooo awesome. He is one helluva headbanging drummer.

Estranged belting out Yang Pernah. Me and the rest of the crowd totally went crazy with headbanging. I managed to record Rich jumping into the crowd lol. Can also see me getting wild a bit on the left haha.

Emma left by 10pm to go back so i was rocking to Estranged alone in the crowd lol but it didnt matter haha. I left the concert by 10.30pm because Amir wanted to leave, my mom wanted me to get back home and this one guy called Din Beramboi came on stage dressed up as David Arumugam and started making 'seditious' remarks . PLUS i was already soooo satisfied watching Estranged and Pop Shuvit in action!!!

Loved the concert. Hope to see more artists in the future! lol

p/s: Yfong couldn't make it to the concert...

Splashing good time...

2009-06-12T21:29:00.005+08:00

Emma, Yfong and me had been planning for today since last week. At around 2.45pm i left home in dad's car and picked up Amir. Then we went to Abang Amin's house to meet up with Tiko. Then the 3 of us in 2 cars went to the intended destination: Coronation Pool. Just as we reached there, Yfong was already parking her car there. Good timing i guess. After a while Emma came. I sorta like actually had a shock looking at soo many people in the pool. The water fro the pool was actually drained from the waterfall so it sorta looked green. Then we all had loads of fun and stuff in the water lol. After that we went to Pelita to grab food before heading back home.

Emergency Postal

2009-06-11T23:51:00.003+08:00

Today is Thursday, n so it also means Badminton Day. Yfong put in a lot of effort and we sorta expected a lot of players. I was even thinking abt booking 2 courts. But in a way, thank god there were ony 9 of us. We had Duncan, Brian, Shawn, Melveen, Yi Phing, Amir, Hezry, Yfong and me. 4 players would be playing at the booked and netted court at one time while another 4 would be beside playing for fun in the unnetted court and 1 player have to sit and watch lol. It was really fun and i enjoyed the 2 hours we spent playing.
Later in the evening, i decided to go to the Tesco post office to post a few postcards that i have to post thanks to Postcrossing. I entered the office, took the cue number and it would be my turn next when suddenly i realised i didnt bring my wallet lol. I didnt have money to buy stamps, drove motorbike from my house without any licence or ic. I sorta like panicked and the only person i could think of was Amir. Amir's house is like 5 minutes away so i called him up and asked for his help. He came over as fast as possible and lent me money to buy stamps. After that we went to Oldtown Coffee coz i didnt want Amir to feel like i was only using him for a while. After having drinks and hanging for a while, we left.

Amir in Oldtown Coffee.

KLMU, here Amir comes!

2009-06-10T23:24:00.002+08:00

Amir booked me since last week to accompany him register at the KLMU Roadshow happening in Taiping today, so as promised i went with him. We went to the 5th floor in the Panorama Hotel and there it was, the roadshow, with 2 facilitators and an empty hall lol, except for 1 guy who was registering. So, after the guy left, we just went forward and explained, and one of the facis passed Amir the forms necessary to fill up. We were filling up at a table behind and also talking abt the 2nd faci who talked less and when he did speak, he speaks softly(which Amir and I found out from fake questions directed to him lol). After a bit more 'eye-washing', Amir was done. He payed and confirmed his joining day, which is 6th of July for Diploma in Cullinary Arts. Good Luck Amir!!! After that, we headed to McD to meet with Yfong, who suddenly was craving for McD. We grabbed McValue Lunch and after that went in TS to visit Shopalot and Sentral Concept Store. I was just trying out the potential buyworthy clothes coz the place is sorta fun. There r like no one following us around. After that we went back home.

Quality Time...

2009-06-09T22:11:00.004+08:00

Since it has been like forever since i went out with Tiko, i called him up and Amir to hang today at 3pm. Amir acceli had to work at 4.30pm and wanted to leave by 4pm. We ended up just walking and walking in TS before deciding to go karaoke. We karaoked in the small booth lol. Most of the songs ended up being there without any subtitles GRRR.... After karaoke, Amir had to rush to work. Tiko and I decided to crash Abang Amin and Fya's place. As it was the day before, the sun was scorching hot. So I just ended up lying on Fya's bed in her while Abang Amin was chatting in Yahoo! with her laptop and Tiko was talking with both of us. Lol then Tiko ended up on surfing on the laptop. Fya was downstairs n then she went out. The 3 of us were just hanging and talking and chatting about everything. Then Amir texted to ask Tiko and Abang Amin to hang with him in Pelita. But Tiko had to go home and Abang Amin wanted to watch Matahari in tv. So i went there to company Amir coz he was already there. N today was the first time i ate in Pelita. I had Mee Goreng n it was okay la. After that we headed back home.
Some snapshots i took in Amin's place:

Quality Time...

2009-06-08T23:34:00.003+08:00

Today Em took the day off so we decided to hang out n go places in Taiping. The place we decided to start off with was KBox. So we met up at TS at 3.30pm+ and went karaokeing. After that we hit McD for ice cream. While eating, suddenly Emma's car number plate was announced thru the pa system to be removed from the place she parked. So we decided to meet back at her place. When i got there, i sorta remembered the times when i used to hang at her place before when we were still schooling. And Keong would usually be here most of the time too. But now there was only 2 of us and Xanthus, Emma's 6month old nephew. Lol he's very adorable. It was so hot out there we decided to cancel all the other plans and just hang in her room. So when i was looking thru her Hua Lian yearbook, Xanthus was trying his best to grab the book from my hand lol. Then when he fell asleep, me and Em fell asleep for a while as well. Around 9.30pm i decided to head back home. Lol me and Em managed to do nothing for about 5 hours coz of the sun.
Some of the snapshots i took of us while we were just talking:

Taufiq and Blades Of Grass

2009-06-06T23:18:00.004+08:00

Taufiq came back Taiping y'day nite after like FOREVER and he gave me a call. As usual i did a few blunders. I was talking on my handphone when he called so i had to ask him to put down the phone T.T . But after that i gave him a call and then he told me that he's in Taiping! So we planned so that he'd come to my house at 11am today and then hang n after that hit McD for McValue Lunch with Amir. Lol and i woke up at 11.30am today hahaha. After that i called him up and he said he was getting a haircut and he'll come over after that. After he got here we set him up a facebook account just so that he can take the Sorting Hat quiz. Lol n he turned out to be a Gryffindor. But as i found out weeks earlier, i'm a true Ravenclaw yahoo! After that we went to McD around 2 after asking Amir to come as well.

By the time we reached, Amir was already there with Hezry. So we just chatted and ate and caught up on old stories. Lol suddenly after so long, we saw Tiko. He was there wit another fren. The 4 of us went there to hang with him after we were done in McD coz he was in OldTown Coffee. We just sat there and chatted and talked. The wind was awesome. But it was still very warm though. Soon, we left to go home.
Today evening was the Blades Of Grass concert in the Taiping Town Hall. I went there with Amir and Hezry but suddenly bumped into Ah Heng and Swee Lan at the entrance. So the 5 of us sat together. I'd say it was okay la. The beatboxing and breakdancing was nice. The performers were the horde of students we saw a few days ago. But the singing seemed fishy. It was as if they were lip-synching...

Postponed Badminton

2009-06-05T16:14:00.002+08:00

Our usual Badminton Day is on Thurday. But since Yfong and Shawn were not in Taiping yesterday. So we decided to postpone it to today. But unfortunately Shawn and Yfong couldnt make it. So the only players who attended were Melveen, Melveen's fren Yi Phing, Amir, Hezry and me. I arrived like 45 minutes after 10am lol. Sorry Melmel! So we played till like 12.30pm. I collected the payment and when i wanted to pay the uncle who looks after the hall, he demanded extra payment coz he was saying we started playing at 9.50am. WTF? Even Melmel said they only started at 10.30am. So i had to pay him RM4 extra. Geez.. I've decided to use the pay-first-then-play method next week.

Sushi King Online

2009-06-04T22:58:00.003+08:00

After hanging out till late at nite y'day, Amir and I decided to hang again today lol. Coz i wanted to noe wat happened after Amir dropped me off. We went Sushi King at abt 5pm coz Amir brought his laptop so that we could use it to pass time by using Noodle Station's wi-fi lol. We had so much fun there. As usual we just talked crap and laughed abt stuff while gossiping. We were also watching videos in Youtube and checking out blogs.

Amir in Sushi King

By 7pm, when we wanted to head back home, a horde of youngsters charged onto us outside of Sushi King with fliers. Lol they were acceli promoting a concert by Blades Of Grass in the Taiping Town Hall this Saturday. Amir and I decided to go to the concert coz it seemed fun. Then we went back home.

Nite out

2009-06-03T12:00:00.003+08:00

I rarely go out after 10pm. Usually i'll leave house in the evening or early night and stay out late. But today somehow Amir managed to persuade me to hang out after 10.30pm. It has been quite some time since i last hung with him also. I had to lie to my mom of course coz she would not let me go out late like this. Amir picked me up at 10.30pm and we headed to McD. We planned to meet up with Amir's affair (Hafiz) there. As we just got out of the car, i suddenly bumped into Amin! He was headed to Pelita. So Amir and I were hanging in McD waiting for Hafiz when he showed up with a friend. While eating, i was talking with Amir while Hafiz was talking with his friend lol. And finally Amin saved the day when he shifted to McD from Pelita with his own affair and Ridwan. It's been so long since i last saw him. Amin asked Amir to send him back home coz he had no transportation. So, a bit later, Amir dropped me off somewhere near my house and i walked home. I was home at abt 12.30pm...

Terminator: Transportation

2009-06-01T22:15:00.000+08:00

A few days ago i was chatting with Sangeetha akka when she said all Vela, Revathy akka and herself would be back for semester holidays this week. So she asked me go out with them. I was thrilled. Coz it's been so long since i last saw them, especially Vela. So we set to go for Terminator Salvation today at 7.15pm. I decided to ask Yoshini to come along as well since she noes Vela. She finishes work at 6pm so i decided to pick her back home so that she could freshen up before the movie. But i only managed to leave home at 6.20pm lol. After that i rushed to get a few more cartridge for my Brother printer in Acer and went to her shop to pick her up. Lol from there i went to her house and waited while she got ready. I was talking to her mom and sister till she was done and we rushed as fast as possible to the theatre coz it was already 7pm by then. We met the trio in front of the theatre and bought popcorn before entering the movie. The movie was really action-packed. It was touching as well. Especially the ending scene... After the movie we just headed home. I dropped off Yoshini and went back home.

Dent!!!

2009-05-30T23:05:00.006+08:00

I was sound asleep after going to bed y'day, well acceli today at abt 2am, when suddenly my mom woke up at 7.30am to send my brother to the Kamunting Tamil School for a seminar he has to go. He was supposed to go on his own but the rain made me their rainy day plan. My another brother also tagged along so the i drove the 3 of us there. After dropping him off, i was parking the car back inside the house porch and was directed by Thinesh when suddenly the left side of the car scraped against the porch wall. It took a few seconds before i realised and braked and reversed. And by that time, the damage was done huhu...

The scrapped paint and dent...

After reparking properly, we scraped off the wall paint that was sticking on to the car with screwdriver and nails lol. Mom was inside the house. We managed to do a bit of damage control but there was nothing we could do abt the dent. We just went inside the house quietly and didnt say anything to mom. I went back to bed but i couldnt sleep. After a while i heard mom asking Thinesh did i hit the car somewhere. Coz she had heard the sound. My brother said yea but just a little bit. After a while i showed her the dent myself and suprisingly she wasnt mad =.= . I was so scared abt wat she might say but i didnt expect her to be advising me not to repeat it next time. But i was still worried abt my dad though.

By 11.30am i went to Kamunting Maybank to meet up with Keong. I had a bit of inky problem with my printer so i asked him to help me print out a few USM paperworks. I've been accepted into USM for BA in English Language and Literature Studies. The intake is on 27th of June. But i'm still wondering wat the heck i'm going to work as though. That really worries me. Keong was already waiting for me there. Hope not very long. He seemed somewhat different. It's the first time i'm seeing him after he went UTAR anyway. Thanks for the papers Keong!

I tolfd my dad abt the dent when he came home for lunch break. He wasnt mad as well. Weird... After lunch, i went to see Mr.Prakash to ask him more abt USM and stuff. Haizz... All this decision-making and paperworks are bringing me down. I hate paperworks... At the tuition centre i saw Mariana and we hung out for a while. After that i went to the Acer shop in front of King Edward Primary 1 to buy ink for my Brother printer. From there i dropped into Yoshini's workplace for a while. Since her boss was not in we were just chatting. Outside the photocopy shop, at the Bismillah Cendol shop across the road, and even inside her shop, which is a cool relief from the heat outside.

I hung there till like 5pm and after that went home. Soon, i sent my mom to the temple by car again, then fetched Surenther from the skool i dropped him off earlier and went back to the temple. I changed from car to dad's bike there and went home. And at nite, i practiced Burger Day lol.

Monsters vs Aliens

2009-05-28T22:03:00.008+08:00

Today is Thursday and i wake up earlier than usual ( at 9am) as i always do on Thursdays to play badminton. Today would be the first time that we're actually playing badminton on a Thursday morning without Keong. It is a bit saddening but the show has to go on. And ironically, today marked one of the highest number of players lol. We had Shawn, Yfong, Melveen, Swee Lan, Amir, Dhanesh, Ram and me. Altogether 8 of us. Mostly thanks to Yfong for her recruitment. Thanks everyone for coming. It was so much fun coz we played 4 players after 4 players.

When it was time to go home, Shawn, Yfong and me planned to go watch Monsters vs Aliens today afternoon. As everyone headed home, Amir and I went for McVAlue lunch haha. That was 1 of the promises i made to him to make him come today lol. We were discussing and discussing Amir's personal problems till it was already 2pm. N the movie that i was supposed to watch was at 3pm lol. So i quickly rushed home, had lunch coz i didnt wanna tell mom i ate out and rushed back to TS. As i was rushing, Yfong called up and told me that the management has cancelled the 3pm timeslot for Monsters vs Aliens. So i brought Uno and drove slow. We decided to hang in Starbucks while playing till it's time for the next slot at 5pm. By 5pm, we were in the movie. It was AWESOME! One of the best animated movies. I loved it, especially the Susan aka Ginormica's storyline. It had a really cool voice cast as well. But one thing that gave me the creeps was Insectosaurus. It looked like a freak fusion of an insect and a hamster! And at the end of the movie, it even went thru a metamorphosis and became a butt ugly butterfly monster. Yerr.. After that we all just headed back home.

Ginormica, B.O.B., Dr.Cockroach and Missing Link.

Insectosaurus

Aliens vs Monsters

2009-05-26T23:30:00.000+08:00

Today Shawn, Yfong and me planned to go watch Monsters vs Aliens. Bt Shawn sorta detected a seemingly small problem early on. It was abt the listing of movie today in the newspapers and in the website. The movie was listed in the website but it wasn't in the newspapers. But i dismissed it as not a problem because a few days earlier, on Sunday, the same thing happened the other way around. The movie was listed on the newspaper but was not in the website. So i thot this time an error has occured again. But unfortunately, Monsters vs Aliens was not scheduled to be screened at all today. We were a bit disappointed but we bounced right back into Sushi King lol. Since i didnt bring Uno lol, we just chatted and chatted when Shawn asked me and Yfong if we'd like to go play badminton with them today at 7pm. Yfong and I said yes and i decided to ask Yoshini to come play as well. So at 6.45pm i went to her working place, and waited till she finished work at 7pm. N from there, i drove mbike with her to her house for her to change. Then from her house we went to the hall at 7.30pm lol. It was a totally awesome game. So much fun. Played wit lots of people for 2 hours. Must do it again.

Keostalgia...

2009-05-24T20:31:00.010+08:00

Keong left to Kampar y'day morning. Well so far he's doing good there. Exhausting Avatar episodes actually. Glad that he's watching them lol. I've been trying to persuade him to watch for like a year. Finally boredom made him watch lol. So as i was smsing him, i kinda remembered all the things that we did together for almost 2 years. I first met him when i was in Lower6 in King Edward VII School, when we went fundraising for the Interact Club. At first i thought he was my senior coz he looked like a Upper6 guy haha. And it was on that day, when i first saw him, i lost my 1st handphone: Nokia 3310 huhu. It's not his fault of course but as they say, 'u gain something when u lose something'. From then on, we met at skool first, then started msning (i was a ym junkie but became msn junkie thanks to Keong), then hung out after skool. He also became the 'K' in my 'TEAK' in time. We did lots and lots of activities together. I'm not sure whether we'll have time to hang later on when we're both busy with studies again. Some of the things that are still vivid to me are:

We were both in the skool Cooperation (lol Koperasi) and worked together in the same day: Friday. There's acceli a conspiracy involved there that even Keong dunno hehe...
So in an ordinary Friday like that, me and fellow Friday cooperators threw him a suprise b'day party! Lol. He was really suprised lol. It was the cutest cake ever coz it was small, round and squished, thanks to me lol.
Another common thing was we were both Librarians. So we used to hang and chat during duty hours as well without dutying lol.
And Librarians had to go to a few camps. One was in skool and the other one was in a part of jungle called Pecha Batu huhu. That's when i knew he has been to NS before. Scary and unexpected. We also chatted the longest we've ever chatted on that trip.
We even celebrated KE's 125th year celebration. I'm happy and grateful i was an Edwardian in 2008.
There was also a Koperasi Lunch organised by the skool cooperation lol in Panorama and it was so much fun. Coz among the skool cooperators, we're closest to Sally and Shikin, and we sat with them during the lunch.
One of the cookiest thing the 4 of us planned was to hike up to Maxwell Hill lol. We only made it to the half, and along the way, Sally even threatened to suicide coz she was too tired lol.
Meanwhile, Keong, me and Shikin decided to go on a Taiping Zoo and Winner's Bowl bowling trip. It was so much fun as well because we celebrated Shikin's b'day in the zoo lol ironic. Keong made the box for her gift and even wrapped it. How artistic is that?
We used to go to the same place for Economy tuition with Mr.Prakash. There, we've got busted by him for talking in class once or twice. And we even went to our class in a wrong time slot lol. Early morning. Could have slept a bit longer. But we'd always be brimming with after tuition activity prospects.
Lol for example, we'd always be hanging with Emma. Since i've acquainted Keong and Emma, the 3 of us always hung at her place. After all she's the E. The 3 of us even went to the Taiping War Cemetery in the dead of the night just to hang and take pictures lol.
There was this 1 time when we went to the Lantern Festival in Lake Gardens after tuition. So much fun. By that time Keong was already buddies with Yoshini and Tiko.
So, rationally Keong was there in Tiko's b'day party. It was such a blast. Some people even got cosy with each other (wink2).
We even went to Tiko's Aidilfitri open house with Emma and Nat (whom we approve of lol).
As fellow librarians, we also became close with Yfong (whom is a fellow buddy now) and with our combined effort, rocked the Librarian's Halloween Party. Keong was a zombie, Yfong was a witch, and I was a nerd lol.
Through Keong, i made lots and lots of remarkable new friends. Shawn, Melveen, D, XY just to name a few. I hope i introduced lots of frens to him as well.
Of course, Keong came to my Deepavali open house. So did every other friend. When my brother got married, Keong wore a jippa to the wedding dinner lol. Emma even wore a saree to the wedding lol. How cool are they. And Shawn also took the time off to come to the dinner. Thanks guys!
By the time it was STPM, we studied together with Emma as well. It was as usual F-U-N.
After STPM, the both of us worked together in The Store Kamunting. It was one of the scariest part of my life. We weren't serious at first and got into lots of trouble later on. Everytime i think abt it, i get the creeps. Thank God everything turned out fine.
Ever since they opened a new cinema in Taiping Sentral, we became regular customers lol. We even went on Star newspaper spree lol on the first and second day they opened Big Cinemas because of the free movie coupons lol. We watched like 3 to 5 movies with that free coupons.
Another thing that we both love would be McD lol. He loves to refill Cokes and i just love the fries lol.
Keong also introduced me, Shikin, Sally and Yoshini to the ais kacang stall in Larut Matang. Lol. He sure does noe his food.
One awesome thing abt Keong is he always accompanies me whenever i need to go shopping. I just cant shop alone. I need another person's opinion when i'm buying stuff. Coz mannequins don't talk to me like they do to Rebecca Blomwood lol.

Keong's b'day cake and gift. The smallest cake ever lol.

Goodbye Keong!

2009-05-22T12:00:00.003+08:00

Today would be the last day before Keong officially goes to UTAR to study. So Melveen and I planned to go out with him today but unfortunately he had to drop out. So only me and Melveen went out to TS to get some stuff and also karaoke lol. Melveen wanted to get a scrub from Face Shop and also the Men's UNO magazine but unfortunately both of the stuffs were not there. So after that we went to KBox and there i found out that Melveen is actually a very good singer. Nat and Em who arrived later also agree. After that Emma and Nat had to leave so me and Melveen headed to Sushi King to play the Uno card game and also Poker. Melmel didnt order anything coz he was a strict vegetarian and just drank a bit of the green tea. After playing Uno for a while, he taught me how to play Poker. It's a quite fun and easy game as well. N i taught him a game called Hello Jack, that i played with Fya a few weeks earlier. It was fun as well haha. By 6.30pm we left for home. Lol and i was supposed to be at McD after this at 7pm for Keong's Farewell Party. I had to ask them to postpone to 7.30pm.

By 7.30pm i was already there and i straight away bumped into Emma. I quickly rushed her off to a souvenir store in TS which i forgot the name to buy something for Keong. After buying, Emma kept it in her bag to give it later. So many ppl came. Xy, Yfong, Emma, Nat, Tiko, Abang Amin, Danny, Me and Keong himself lol. We just ate and talked abt a lot of things like music and crap lol. N then we played Uno, something that had become somewhat a staple game in our gatherings. Yfong suddenly left in the middle. I could obviously tell she was upset abt something. N by 10pm everyone decided to go back home. N guess what. We totally forgot abt Keong's gift that was still in Emma's bag. She had already left home n then ony i remembered haizz.. In the confusion, i ended up calling her mother A LOT of times. N also no thanks to Maxis' bad reception today, i couldnt hear anything and just kept on harassing her mother. Lol Sorry Aunty! Em called me back from her house number n we sorted it out thanks to Kie who offered to pass it to Keong when he sees him in Kampar. Thanks Kie! But an unsatisfying thing that happened y'day would be the way Keong said bye to some of the guests: He didnt. I'm sorry on his behalf guys! After McD, Kie and me accompanies Keong to Tesco to buy clothes and few stuffs that is still incomplete before his departure. After buying em all, and i also bought a few hangers, we headed home, and i reached right before 12am.

The bright lights of Tesco from McD.

p/s The color code of the night (thanks to Tiko) was orange but since my mom ruined my orange shirt and some of us had none, i asked for brown as well. In the end, Tiko and Abang Amin wore orange; Emma, Nat, Yfong and me were wearing brown; Danny and Keong were wearing black. Lol only XY was wearing a light blue.

Go Adam Lambert!

2009-05-21T23:22:00.003+08:00

Today was my badminton day and there were like 5 of us. Lol coz Yoshini lied to her boss for the day off saying she has an exam of some sort. So it was me, Yoshini, Keong, Melveen and XY. We played and played and finally we just spent a long time just chatting abt anything. Bust mostly abt Keong leaving. Huhu so sad.
After that Yoshini and I went to do a bit of shopping a while in the town n then the rest of us except Melveen met back at McD in TS. There we had McValue lunch and was just chatting. After that the 3 of us minus XY went all over TS and Tesco looking at clothes but didnt buy anything lol. Soon, we just went home.
Although i tried my best to dodge the American Idol outcome in Hitz.fm, i finally heard it from that potty-mouthed Natalie when she said a guy called Ben also got to talk to Adam Lambert, the runner up of the show =.= . Everything got ruined. Although i'm a bit sad he lost to Kris, i'm just like whatever. I noe Adam Lambert will always be more successful than Kris Allen. I was happy with Adam's performance when i saw it tonite also. I loathe my Plan B...

Keong and Adam

2009-05-20T23:49:00.003+08:00

Adam Lambert & Yee Keong Chong
Today something drastic just occurred to me. Lol i somehow remembered Keong in last year's Halloween party. Keong was an Gothic Executive Zombie, a CEO of a company that had died but came back as a zombie. N when i remembered that image of Keong, it reminded me of Adam Lambert. Lol. Wat do u guys think? Keodam or Adeong?

Xpress Life (Uno in Starbux)

2009-05-19T21:17:00.002+08:00

Shawn, Keong and XY went for the movie 'Push' today. I decided not to go but meet up with them later on with Yfong. So when their movie finished, we headed on to Starbucks first. There, we had so much fun. Coz i brought Uno again haha. We played and played until it was 6.30pm.

By then Shawn and XY had to leave ady. So the 3 of us headed to Tesco to do some shopping. Since it was the 19th of the month, as usual 1901 was having the hot dog offer and we knew we had to buy.

After that, we headed on to Yfong's ex-working place's branch, a phone shop to get a phone i've been scouting for abt 2 weeks: the Nokia 5130 Xpress Music. I got it the blue color. Haha i have a new phone and also a new number. I'm not loving the phone yet though. But i'm loving the new number.

After that i had to go Yfong's house coz the number i bought y'day was with her. N from there i went to Teacher Sugguna's house for a while just to talk to her and see Mariana. After that i left and reached home before 9pm.

Poker Jack

2009-05-18T21:08:00.001+08:00

Yfong suggested that we go out to TS today so me and Keong agreed with her. I drove car there thinking Keong had no transport but he texted me before i reached his house that he has transport ady. So i just drove straight and parked at Tesco and walked over to TS. After me Yfong arrived at 3pm. N finally Keong arrived awhile afterwards. We hung at Starbucks because Keong brought his laptop. We were just chatting and Facebooking lol when suddenly Yfong announced that Tiko, Fya and Abang Amin are coming too. In between that i managed to buy a new number from Hotlink Youth Pack. Soon after they arrived, we hung at Starbucks a while longer n then headed to McD to grab something fulfilling. There after ordering and eating, we started a fiasco. I totally forgot to bring my Uno cards but fortunately Fya brought her Poker cards. So while thinking of Lady GaGa's Pokerface, we played a game called 'Hello Jack'. It was so much fun. We played and played until finally it was time to go home.

Field Trip toTaiping (Part 2)

2009-05-17T20:39:00.000+08:00

We came back home around 1.30am and we got ready for bed. Since there were like 13 of us, we had to sleep everywhere arnd the house lol jk la. By morning, my aunts and a few cousins have left to go a few more temples. And a few cousins and my brother went to Taiping Sentral instead. The rest of us were just hanging at home, computering, watching tv and etc. We also Unoed for a while. But everyone was home by lunch prepared by all the ladies in the house. By evening after tea everyone was preparing to leave. My aunt and her family left first. Followed by my uncle and the rest abit later. But not before my cousin sister-in-law (my anni), gave me a souvenir.

Field Trip to Taiping (Part 1)

2009-05-16T12:00:00.022+08:00

I already knew they would arrive in the morning but i decided to take my chances. I slept late at nite yesterday after watching ER and slept thru the morning. But suddenly, i was awoken by my brother's shouting that they are here ady. I quickly rushed off the bed to greet them with my sleepy eyes. I managed a few "hi"s and ran off to get ready for the field trip to Taiping. My aunt and my cousins from Kepong came over today on a 2 day 1 nite trip to Taiping to visit us and have some Taiping sorta fun.
The first place we went to was a Hindu temple in the outskirts of Taiping. It's called Ayanaar Temple and i have no idea the name of the place it is in unless i ask my father lol. After walking around the temple area, we went over to see the Bukit Merah dam. There, we were just relaxing under the shady trees while watching a few fishermen fishing in the rapid water. By noon, we decided to grab lunch at the Pusat Makanan Taman Tasik coz it's nearer to well, Taman Tasik of course lol. After munching on some Chinese delicacies, we walked over to the Lake Gardens, which was just across the road. We were at this sorta like a rest area along the walkway near the jetty overlooking the lake, when it started to drizzle.

Bad hair day...

We were hoping that it'd stop so we quickly headed to the Burmese Pool which was a bit nearby as well. We went so high up the hill until my aunt cannot walk ady lol. But good thing by the time we've reached the place we wanted. But unfortunately, the rain got heavier and we had to take shelter under the umbrella on our way down. From there we headed home to rest and have tea.
Soon after, by 6pm we were headed to Lake Gardens again. This time we were equipped with fish food pellets to be fed to the fishes in the lakes there. We just walked slowly along the pathway and bridges while feeding the fishes. It's been a few years since i last came to Lake Gardens to feed fishes and i have to say, their numbers have diminished drastically.

After walking around a bit more, we headed to Taiping Zoo to wait for another car of my uncle, aunt and cousins from Klang.My dad asked me to park the car in the zoo parking lot and i was a bit nervous but it turned out okay. By 7.30pm my uncle arrived. We had to wait till 8pm to get into the Night Safari. Our family was the first in line to get the tickets haha. We got into the first tram as well. The notice board outside specifically mentioned no flash cameras beyond the entrance but we all still managed to smuggle in our cameras haha. In the zoo we managed to catch glimpses of many animals that were active or still awake. The most active would be the owles. They were all looking at the passing by trams and people in it. By the time the tram ride ended, there was still a bit of ground to walk before reaching the exit. There was this aquarium-like lake that was full of fat (touch wood) Japanese Carps and Arowanas. Huhu i was so sad i didnt sneak in some fish food from earlier. Before exitting was the elepant cage. There i managed to capture my one and only image throughout the whole Night Safari. I took it in night mode and it was majorly not clear.

After the safari, we headed to a seafood restaurant exactly beside the place we had our lunch earlier called Restoran Makanan Laut Bintang. It was full of the EPL finals foootball match of MU vs Arsenal watchers. We sat in a table added with wooden panel coz there were 13 of us. When asked wat was the fish specialty from that restaurant, they said curry fish. I remember from Keong's entry abt the curry fish he had when he went for dinner. Lol but curry is like a staple thing, we went ahead with the sweet and sour steamed fish instead.

After dinner, we went to the infamous 'Pig Temple'. It was my first time there and the place totally gave me the creeps. I didnt go inside the temple and just waited outside taking pics of the wildboars. They were literally everywhere. From the size of a cat to a skuter, all sizes of boars were there. The temple was acceli built there first but later on started getting visits from local boars that seemed unusually tame. That's y people started hoarding the place.

After praying and stuff, of the 3 cars, one car was boarded by people who wanted to go home to sleep. Meanwhile the other 2 was all set for a night of bowling hehe. We went to the Winner's Bowling Alley in the Taiping Plaza and bowled for 2 rounds in 2 lanes coz there 8 of us.

My bowling antics:

Sushi Idol

2009-05-15T23:16:00.001+08:00

Today was a very peculiar day. It went on as usual but only till the evening. Suddenly Emma called me up to go out n eat. So i asked everyone who noes both of us to come over lol but i found out that everyone was busy. So in the end, instead of going to the place we planned earlier: Legend Inn, we ended up in Sushi King lol, just the 2 of us.

I brought Uno but we didnt get to play bcoz we were just catching up on our lives and Emma's job description lol. We ordered a few sushis i haven't tried before. Before we called it a day, finally Nat came over as well. We talked for a while and it was time to go home. I quickly conveyed my goodbyes and rushed home to watch American Idol. Phew... Adam is safe with Kris and they are the top 2. Huhu who's gonna win???

Live Long and Prosper

Uno in McD (part3)
Yfong, Amir and I planned to watch Star Trek today. Yfong rushed to the theater after she came back from Ipoh. I was already there and the last one to reach was Amir. The movie was absolutely cool. And Chris Pine was awesome. He received more punches in the face than he dished out lol.

The actors of the older Star Trek francise and their replacements.

After the movie, the 3 of us headed to none other than McD to grab something to eat and we were suprised by none other than Keong! Yay! It wasn't a suprise for me and Yfong but Amir wasnt expecting Keong haha. In McD we got on to our usual business: Uno!!! After one game, Amir had to leave but the rest of us continued playing for a while. After that we just went to a few shops looking at handphones and then left to go home.

Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore

2009-05-12T23:51:00.003+08:00

It was already late for both me and Shikin, so i quickly packed my card and bid farewell to everyone before leaving. I sent Shikin home and was home myself by 12.30am. Everyone was asleep of course since today was a school day. I washed up and got down to my usual midnight business: Harry Potter and The Death Hallows. I read until like 2.30pm before deciding i was too tired too continue. I have been reading a little bit and a little bit every midnight after i offline for about a week but i couldnt be patient any longer. I started reading in daytime as well for the past 2 days and as i went to bed today, anxiousness got the best of me. I was totally dreaming abt all the scenes i have read in the book all night and through the morning until i woke up today at 12pm, even that after my mom came and woke me up. So when i woke up i decided that i MUST finish the book today.

After washing up and a tiny brunch, i started reading. I had like another 250 pages to go. I only stopped reading for lunch, tea, dinner and evening bath and before the end of the day i was done. I had finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. From the book i found out a few things that i had vaguely remembered before but i had forgotten. The name 'Grindelwald' stirred up a bit of memory 3 days prior and after a bit of investigating found him to be Dumbledore's lover and a not-so-perfect young Dumbledore had once fallen into his evil ways blinded by love. It was actually announced by the author herself after the book was publicised.
The larger than life figure of the great Albus Dumbledore is written by J.K.Rowling in the 7th book as a mere human being with magical powers, whom made mistakes and learnt from them, to be a wise old man. His affection for the blond cheery Grindelwald though was written so subtley, yet understandable. Though there was a part in which i was confused, a bit of looking up in Wikipedia did help. And of course, Lord Voldemort died in this book, making it the last of the Harry Potter series, as promised by the author.

Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore

The only book by J.K.Rowling that i dont currently possess is Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. Huhu sob T.T

Uno in McD (Part 2)

2009-05-11T00:00:00.000+08:00

Shikin had been texting me since y'day asking me to go out with her today. I didnt confirm anything y'day but told her i will today. Today unfortunately, Shawn was planning to go watch Star Trek with Keong but somehow i decided to go out with Shikin instead. I picked her up at the shoplot away from her house as usual and first we went to the Lake Gardens and just hung out. We shifted to a few places and almost attacked by a few crazy monkey before we finally reached TS. We wanted to ask Keong over for dinner but alas, it did not materialise. So Shikin suggested why not ask Amir instead.
I texted Amir and after some time me and Shikin spent wondering in TS and Tesco, Amir finally came with his father's Vios. But then he broke the news that Nazi/Nazu/Baby was also supposed to come with him today and he still needs to fetch him. Instead of keeping on waiting there, we just tagged along with Amir in the car. After a bit of waiting and shopping in the neighbourhood, Nazi/Nazu/Baby was ready and we were on our way back to TS. I was soo hungry at the time and practically had enough of Amir's road rage and it was like a relief for me and Shikin when Keong communicated with us. We decided to meet up at Sushi King and when Amir let us off the car first while he was looking for a place to park, we darted off as fast we could to Sushi King but by then he had left the place. He was on the phone all along but still was able to delude us. We ran to the motorbike parking place but was still unable to locate him. Me and Shikin ended up just staring bewilderedly at the parked and passing-by motorbikes for good 10 minutes before giving up on him. So i decided to finally text him once asking where his was after he didnt up calls. It turned out he was at home.

When me and Shikin turned to get into TS again though, Amir and Nazi/Nazu/Baby finally found us. So we just decided to stick with them for the night. We went to Sushi King but it was nearing closing time so we decided to go to the full-of-rude-workers-McD instead. There, as we ordered our food and sat to eat, we saw Ah Heng and Swee Lan having a date at McD as well. But it turned not be an intimate date of two as i took out my secret weapon: Uno. My actual intention of bringing it tonite was to play it with Shikin and Keong but somehow, but not unexpected in my case, the plan changed. As i was shuffling the card, it caught the eye of Swee Lan, whom i asked to join the game, and whom persuaded Ah Heng, whom adjoined their table to ours, making more room for a comfortable play. We were roaring in laughter and making so much noise just playing a simple yet popular card game. We didnt care abt anyone else, only we mattered.The game started at abt 10.45pm but only ended at 12am, having Ah Heng the last winner making Amir the loser lol.

Jesse McCartney(s)

2009-05-10T14:56:00.001+08:00

An entry that i had written about Jesse McCartney before inspired me to post this entry which, unlike the entry before which i had mentioned his professional work, is about his change in appearance in the past few years. So far he's released 3 official studio albums and together with the change he did musically, he has also done changed to himself physically. By physically i mean the change in his style not whether he got himself a tattoo or a piercing.
During his first album, Beautiful Soul, Jesse sported longish tousled blonde hair with casual clothings.

But when his 2nd album, Right Where You Want Me was released, his blond brownish hair was short and sometimes spiked plus he started wearing a lot of accessories like neck chains and cuffs with his outfits.

And now, with his 3rd album, Departure, it's like he totally departed from his previous hair colour and clothing style. Now he's a brunet with short hair and always sports a tie with suits.

He or his stylist think that it's a way of him showing that he's all grown up, now that he's in his 20s now. I totally do not like the new Jesse. Haiz...

Btw, he's in no way related to Paul McCartney.

YF

2009-05-09T23:04:00.001+08:00

Today was as usual the day of the Youth Fellowship in the Taiping Wesley Church and was the 2nd time i'm going for it with Keong. As expectedl it was very informational and was very funny at times bcoz of the examples given. After the YF, i went to Tesco to check out some electronic devices. And while i was there, i got the latest Galaxie as well. Havent started reading anything though.

GRRL Power

2009-05-08T22:46:00.005+08:00

Let's see. Today me and Keong went to see Say Poh at Oldtown Coffee n then hung at McD waiting for Yfong and then went to Sushi King, where later on Tiko joined us. Saw a fren of Tiko's and also Pn.Seow there. From there we just headed home. I've been following AMIdol religiously since the top7 ad tonite was the result show. Good thing i was back home in time to watch it. I was very worried abt Adam just coz of his pants. WTH is he wearing skinny jeans on stage when ppl across the whole world is watching??? I mean like of course Slash can do it bcoz he doesn't have to rely on some conservative granny to vote for him to win a reality tv show. Adam really needs to turn the outfit volume down a bit till he acceli win the freaking title. I already have a Plan B anyway. But too bad my Plan C had to go back home today. Allison the Rock Goddess left the show, taking the 'Grrl Power' of the show with her (hmm... Maybe Adam's dose of that power would be enuff for the show).
One thing that was interesting in tonite's show was No Doubt's performance. Gwen Stefani was totally rocking it on stage. I've totally adored No Doubt coz of that. They are a band whom the lead singer is a girl, and the only one in the band. N how loyal Gwen could be? She has like 2 multi platinum albums : Love.Angel.Music.Baby. and The Sweet Escape but she's still tight with her band. Love her for that coz she's still on it even after marriage and 2 kids.

Another group that is almost the same is the Black Eyed Peas. Technically they are not a band and Fergie, they're only female groupmate, joined the group a bit later. Her solo debut album, The Dutchess also went multi platinum in 2006 yet the 4 of them are geared for their next album together. Fergie was recently quoted by Wil.I.Am and from it she seemed to be really excited abt it although she's now officially married.

Hope both No Doubt and the Black Eyed Peas stay together forever!!!

Amir Badminton

2009-05-07T23:54:00.002+08:00

Today's badminton day took a lot of effort to be put up by Keong and me. By the end of y'day nite we've had 6 people for today's badminton. So i just took my bike as usual but unusually i was there first haha. I just waited for the guy while Bouncing away in my hp. Soon, 4 of us (Shawn, Keong, me and Melmel) were there and we were playing while waiting for the other 2 (Khazeman and Amir). By 11.30, Khazeman finally showed up. Amir was texting me all the while abt his lateness and stuff. Amir was only ready to come to the hall by the time we wanted to go back ady. So i texted him not to come here and go somewhere else.
When we were all done playing, i texted Amir asking where he was. It turned out he was headed to McD. Shawn. Keong and I were also planning to go there. So i texted back saying i'll meet him there because i'm also going there now. But in a few seconds i changed my mind bcoz i ruined my shoes while playing just now and i didnt want to go McD in those. But after a bit more texting, i agreed to see him in McD. I just felt bad for asking him to go back after asking him to play. When i went there, i found out that he was acceli late bcoz he went to buy a racket to play today with us. Huhu that poor thing. Plus he treated me French Fries but of course i have to pay back. Thanks and so Sorry Amir...

Yfong even joined me and Amir for a while. While i was chatting with her, Amir excused himself for a while. So i thot he was ony headed to the toilet or something. But after like 10 minutes, even after Yfong left, Amir was stil missing. Then i saw him parking his mbike with Hazry/Hezry/Hazri behind him. Lol he went and picked up that kid without saying a word. After hanging with them a while, i decided to run back home when it started drizzling.

(Gasp) You speak Prada??

2009-05-04T23:43:00.014+08:00

Revelations Of A Shopping Addict (Not me)
Today i woke up as usual around 10.30am when i realised i have a text message from Nazu/Nazi/Baby asking me if i'd like to go karaokeing with him coz it's his day off. So i just got ready and asked Amir to come as well. The 3 of us had so much fun karaokeing but i must say, there is this 1 worker in KBox whom i hate soo much. In my opinion she's a total fugly. She didnt do anything bad to me but instinctively i despise her.
After karaoke we just went to shop around for stuffs. Amir bought food (McD takeaway), Nazu/Nazi/Baby bought some cosmetics (nail polish) and I was supposed to buy book (the latest Galaxie magazine) but i somehow restrained myself hmm... And when we were in McD, Amir and I were playing smile and coy with a tranny worker there lol.
Later in the evening, Keong and I actually decided to meet up in TS at 5.30pm to do some shopping before our movie, The Confessions Of A Shopaholic. But we ended up doing something with DotA till like 5.40pm. So after that i rushed to bath, get ready and get going. But by the time i got ready, Keong already texted me saying he was there. So i rushed as fast as possible, and by the time i reached there at 6.30pm, he had waited there for like 30minutes. (I'm so sorry Keong.) I thot our shopping plan has been cancelled. But good thing i was ready a bit early. So we did manage to fit in a bit of window shopping. We acceli bought 3 tickets but there were only 2 of us lol. So i kept 1 ticket in my pocket and just showed 2 tickets for the 2 of us.
The Confessions Of A Shopaholic was awesome! I regard of it as a trendsetter for millions of teens and youngsters out there lol. It's even now no.1 in my movie wall haha.

In the movie, the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood was played by Isla Fisher. But i personally think Becki Newton who plays Amanda Tanen in Ugly Betty could have played the character better.
Becki Newton
Isla Fisher

And another character that caught my eye was Allon, played by Stephen Guarino. He totally reminded me of Marc St. James played by Michael Urie in Ugly Betty lol.

Stephen Guarino

Michael Urie

After the movie, Keong and I just hung at McD for dinner. Suddenly out of nowhere Tiko popped up with 2 of his friends. We talked for a while and i just passed the extra ticket to him haha. After eating, the 2 of us continued to shop for a messenger bag. We finally decided on one in Sentral Concept Store after going to both TS and Tesco. By then it was already closing time and right when Keong was abt to pay for the bag, we realised we didnt bring enough. Silly shopping mistake. When i was looking at my wallet desperately at the time, looking at my IC, license, Popular card and Maybank card, i remembered Rebecca's quote from the movie when she was in a mall looking at other people shop:

"They were beautiful, they were happy. They didn't even need any money, they had magic cards."

By that of course she means credit cards, which neither of us had haha. The bag was just left there after being promised to be bought tomorrow lol.
My another favourite quote from the movie is:

"(Gasp) You speak Prada??"

lol. And of course the tagline:

A new job?
Hopefully.

A new man?
Possibly.

A new handbag?
Definitely.

Another aspect of the movie that i totally loved as well was the soundtrack. Confessions Of A Shopaholic is one of the movies with best background music ever. As soon as i reached home, i quickly wikied it and downloaded the whole OST list haha.

Bleeding Love

2009-05-03T23:07:00.020+08:00

2 years ago, in 2007, the winner of UK equivalent of American Idol: X Factor, Leona Lewis released her debut single from her debut album Spirit called Bleeding Love. Leona herself is very unique with her modelesque look and vocal acrobatical skills. Combined with her already established popularity and the quality of her song, Bleeding Love became an instant phenomenon loved by listeners and karaokers as well.

Radios and television were busy playing the song and the video of the song, massively increasing it's airplay day by day thanks to it's touching lyrics and showcase of variety in the international version of the music video. 2 music videos were made for the song, an international version and one specially for US audience. The international version shows different ranges of pain in relationships, meanwhile the US version focuses solely on Leona's relationship problems.

International Version:

US Version:

It wasn't until the next year, that is 2008, that listeners realised that the song was actually meant for another artist and it was originally a male song. The artist was none other than Jesse McCartney, who co-wrote the song himself with another popular phenomenon himself, Ryan Tedder. Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder from pop-rock band One Republic at first penned the song for Jesse's third album, Departure. Jesse wanted the song to be in his album but the producers felt it wasnt suitable for his album. So, instead Ryan changed the arrangements a bit gave the song to Leona and voila the instant hit was born. But Jesse was still enamoured by the song that he released it as limited in some editions of his album.

Jesse McCartney - Bleeding Love:

And it wasn't until a year after, which is 2009 that Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder were recognised for their artistical and lyrical achievement, that is Bleeding Love. The ASCAP Awards are honorary recognitions handed out by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers to it's members who excel in what they do. On the 26th Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards which was held on the 22nd of April 2009 in Los Angeles, Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder won Song Of The Year for Bleeding Love. Finally!

Their cherished lyrical work:

Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the risk that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love...

Amir Fair

2009-05-02T23:05:00.001+08:00

Amir and I have been planning to go to the Mohex Edu Fair since like forever. So today we planned to go in the afternoon. But i totally forgot that my motorbike was still punctured. So i fixed my bike first n then met up with him there. We had so much fun just talking crap. We both have this vivid imagination and just love laughing at it after picturising it out haha. It has also been like so long since i last hung with him. We just went to the booths and at the same time did some 'eye-washing' activity haha. We were at it for some time and after that went to McD. We were there for like so long haha. N there was this pink shirted guy whom we sorta like bumped into abt 3 times. It was like he's stalking us or we're stalking him. Weird...

Oh! Badminton

2009-05-01T23:03:00.000+08:00

Yoshini texted me y'day saying she's off today. I was like huh? Y? Lol then i found out it's Labour's Day haha. She wanted to go out maybe for a game of badminton or just go hang. So i thot y not fix up a badminton game like before with her, Keong, Melveen and me. My motorbike was still punctured from y'day so i decided to take the car. Lol but on the way out of my driveway, i accidentally hit a parked car. Lol then i just ran haha. The badminton game was awesome. Yoshini was also full of advises abt driving. Plus the both of us had a lot of near-accident scenarios today haha.
After coming back home, i decided to catch up on a Korean Movie called Oh! Happy Day. It was kinda funny haha.

Wolverine Pack

2009-04-30T23:02:00.001+08:00

Since it's Thursday, as usual today was Badminton Day. It was me, Keong, Shawn, Duncan, Yfong, and Melveen. We played and were laughing at the same time haha coz Keong was showcasing his acrobatic skills. He was awesome and funny lol.
Later in the evening, Keong, Shawn and I went to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was awesome. I have always been a mojor fan of the X-Men series and i love the latest installment just the same. I loved all the characters. Of course not the villainous ones grrr...
My brother acceli already borrowed Wolverine pirated copy from his fren and watched like yesterday. Lol then he was complaining to me that it seems to be like a major low budget movie coz the cables used for stunts are visible. I was like "Haha it's the leaked version you moron. The real movie isn't even out in the theatres yet." I did watch a bit of the movie but restrained from watching the rest coz i really wanted to catch it in the theatre. After watching my brother was like describing Weapon XI to me. He was saying how gory and disgusting he was. So when i was watching the movie in the theatre, i was a bit a bit anxious when Weapon XI was abt to make it's entrance. Lol he turned out not that scary after all. He was very powerful but not gory.

After the movie, the 3 of us went to eat in McD haha. There i saw Tiko, Abang Amin, Fya, her bf, Yfong and also Nazi/Nazu/Baby. I even saw like Amir at the parking place. Later on i even heard that Emma and Nate were at Tesco at the same time. I was like wow. All of our frens came out to the same place at the same time lol. Good times...

House Of Paris

2009-04-29T23:52:00.000+08:00

Tonite was the first time i watched House Of Wax. It was on 8tv at 10pm on Popcorn N Wednesday. The movie was like soo gory. It was equally if not scarier than Friday The 13th. Lol and Paris Hilton was funny to watch. She was good in acting cool and coy but when it came to being scared out of her mind, she was mediocre at best.

Ayan Trip

2009-04-28T23:37:00.002+08:00

Tonite, after a long time, since Sivaji: The Boss, my parents and i went to watch a movie lol. My youngest brother decided to stay home so we locked him inside the house and took the keys. We went to watch Ayan, a Kollywood (Tamil version of Hollywood and Bollywood) action thriller movie starring Surya and Tamanna. I was suprised later on when i found out that Tamanna was born in 1989 haha. The movie was okay la i would say. It was all about smuggling stuffs. The hero himself played a negative character. It was filmed around the world, including Malaysia. After the movie i drove everyone back home haha. But unfortunately i missed out on Betty sob T.T

Surya and Tamanna
