reading

hav not been on9-ing n blogging in a while coz hav been busy reading the books my sis n i bought.. hehehehe.. finish reading 'a christmas carol' by charles dickens and now im reading 'my story' by lewis hamilton, a mclaren mercedes formula 1 driver.. yes.. im a f1 fan, but im not into the technical stuff like how many cylinders does the car hav, this suspension n tat.. i juz like the sport.. i remember saying to my bro last time, 'wats so interesting bout watching cars going round n round so many times?'.. i laugh at myself for saying tat coz now, i love f1!! i try to watch as many races as possible n actually wanted 2 go 2 singapore 2 watch the first ever nite race, live but i couldnt... sigh.. the tickets also so mahal.. in $$ summor.. not RM.. i tot can go to some tall building to watch the race illigaly in Sg or panjat some pokok kelapa in johor n use binoculars 2 watch.. not bad rite my ideas? XD ... anyway.. back to the reason im writing this post, bout lewis hamilton's book!!...

lewis hamilton n his book

i was leaving the mph warehouse sale, after paying for the books we bought, n i stumbled across this stack of lewis hamilton's book.. i paused.. should i get it? it was only rm15!. im a ferrari fan n this is lewis hamilton from mclaren mercedes, ferrari's no.1 rival!!! but i m really interested in reading his story... hate to admit it but his rookie year in f1 was really impresive n his book was in the newpapers n on tv too.. sigh.. i was really stuck.. i finally decided to grab the book n pay 4 it.. n im really glad i did buy it coz its interesting.. to me laa..

lewis hamilton with his car

after reading the book, i admire him even more.. not admire as in like him, but admire his spirit n the way he handles the ups n downs in life.. i didn't know f1 was a really tough n demanding sport.. the drivers make it look so easy.. n in order to make it to f1, u hav to go thru so many stages n championships.. n money is another big factor.. also, u hav 2 b really fit.. physically n mentally.. even ur mood will affect ur driving.. the jet lag which u will get every week from the frequent travelling n adapting to diff weather n food.. while driving, if u even loose concentration for a few seconds, u may crash or something.. 1 second really makes a HUMUGOUS difference in f1.. i even read tat drivers loose up to 2kg after every race.. wat a way to loose weight!! so where can i sign up 2 be a f1 driver?? XD

i didn't know tat lewis's parents were divorced when he was 2 years old.. his father married again n his stepmom gav birth 2 his half bro, nicholas, 7 years younger than him.. according to him, he has the greatest stepmom ever.. he loves his bro very much too.. his bro is diagnosed with celebral palsy n is his greatest motivation when he's feeling down.. at the young age of 10, he signed a contract with mclaren mercedes who sponsored his racing career.. when i was 10, strd 4, i dun think im even close to wat he has achieved.. our level of maturity must hav been a massive diff!! he was also faced with emense pressure to perform well.. many ppl disliked him because they were jealous of his talent n also of the contract he had with mclaren at such a young age.. i can also say he's a family man coz he writes bout his father alot.. his father sacrificed alot for him n was his manager n motivator.. he picked up karate coz ppl at skool were bulying him.. to think tat he's only 23 years old this year.. same age as my sis! n how much has he gone thru.. really amazed n awed.. wow...

i read tat he's a really humble person.. hope he keeps tat attitude even with all the fat paychecks tat he's getting into his overflowing bank account! n even after i read bout him, im still no doubt currently a ferrari n kimi fan(though i prefer lewis's personality to kimi's).. go ferrari!!!

kimi raikkonen

a ferrari f1 car at midvalley

but overall, my no.1 driver is still the legendary 7 times world champion michael schumacher.. would love to hav seen lewis up against michael!!

michael schumacher

n if i were to continue bout schumacher, i think it'll b a very very very very long post.. so i'll juz stop here.. :)

mph warehouse sale!!

was tired from the singapore trip.. awaken to the sound of my phone vibrating.. it was a msg from christine saying wanna come my house pass me some $$.. so of course i woke up!! $_$ lol.. jk jk.. the $$ was to buy books from the mph warehouse sale tat my sis, melissa n i were going later.. thus, i woke up n failed my mission to sleep till 12pm since i woke up at 10am++..

reached melissa's house a little late coz my sis woke up late, n off we went to go book hunting.. when we reaching the place,.. O.o ... there were lots n lots of cars parked along the sides of the roads! thank God we could find a parking spot 5 mins walk from the warehouse... the warehouse was really hot n stuffy n crowded with ppl.. made me wonder.. i tot m'sian ppl dun really read? mayb some r there coz they were curious with the crowd.. lol.. walked around a little bit n was gonna start sweating d.. bought 15 books altogether.. 5 were mine, where 2 were dictionaries, n 1 was a sudoku book 4 my mom(she's crazy bout sudoku).. the rest were my sis's books which im also interested in reading.. XD so if u wanna borrow any books, it must b taken great care of.. n i will think bout the fee later on coz of my hard work n sweat(literally) i toiled into buying them! XD

3 out of this pile were chosen by me.. can guess??

n 2 more here r mine.. pretty obvious if u read wat i wrote..

the tower of books!!

satisfied with wat we bought, but to think of the amount of money spent in juz 3 days! *shudder n shiver* looks like i hav to ikat perut n wont b able to go shopping in a long while.. *pout*

Singpore trip

went to singapore on friday n came back on sunday.. the reason was to visit my bro.. so here's a few things tat happened..

took a bus 2 singapore(sg) which was 45mins late.. could not sleep at 1st coz im not the type of person who can sleep anywhere.. i take a few mins or even 1 hour before i can actually sleep in a foreign place, let alone an uncomfortable one like the bus.. arrived in sg n, wow.. there were so so many ppl at the imigration.. queued up for a while.. was really sleepy coz it was 5.30am.. was observing ppl coz there's nothing better 2 do.. saw ppl from China with huge luggages n carrying a few cardboard boxes like the box where u buy a carton of water.. this is not the 1st time i see china ppl with boxes.. wats with china ppl n boxes? really was curious.. then i saw some other ppl cutting queue.. sigh.. y cant they juz wait in line like other civilised ppl?

took a taxi to sennett road where my bro is staying.. hav 2 admit tat sg transport system is 201% better than m'sia.. took a while to wake my bro.. mom was shouting as soft as possible from outside the house. lol.. was 6.00 am.. finally could lie down to sleep on a comfy bed.. woke up few hours later n got ready to go shopping!! yay!! went to bugis junction (think tats wat its called) n ate at pasta mania.. wow.. it was really really delicious! i ordered linguini chicken something carbonara n shared with my bro since we werent tat hungry n boy, was it filling!! was really satisfied with the food though the price, if u convert it to ringgit, its a really very expensive lunch! the ppl were friendly too..

did lots of walking.. was sweating n all.. i dun think m'sian ppl walk as much as the sg ppl.. we then proceeded to shopping.. was surprised tat my bro was ok with shopping.. tried not to convert it to ringgit coz this would be the most ever that i spent 4 shopping! bought quite a number of things.. dunno how im gonna bring it back home 2 m'sia!

went 2 church after tat.. the youth were really friendly to us.. i was shy. i dunno y but i was shy to talk 2 them.. haha.. the worship was awesome, though i din know most of the songs.. lol.. they had a special speaker from aussie/new z.. he shared things tat really stirred up my spirit n touched my heart.. he really challeged me 2 change n do some sacrifices tat should b done.. it was an awesome n amazing nite! it was as though God really wanted us to be there in sg n listen to his servants sermon.. cool huh?.. haha.. by the end of the service, i was really tired from the whole day out.. went to dinner where almost the whole youth went.. went back to sennett n slept..

next day was sunday.. morning service was great too.. had another special speaker.. he shared on wat do u do 2 draw closer 2 God.. one was we hav 2 giv up our personal comfort.. our cup is so full our things tat God cant do His will in us n bless us.. we hav 2 learn to empty our cup, spend more time with Him n learn 2 listen to his voice.. tat means lots of sacrifice n giving up.. but i think im willing to sacrifice.. i hope God helps me on this.. only He alone can c my heart..
after service, it was lunch at siam kitchen restaurant, n back 2 m'sia.. SIGH.. was really sad to come back 2 m'sia.. its back to the dirty stinking toilet, RUDE, lazy n unhelpfull ppl, (can u believe at the m'sian immigration, they did not even check our bags! i could b carrying a c4 or 100kg of drugs!!!) lousy transport system tat u cant trust... the list is too long to continue n i will feel worse if i list more.. m'sia boleh.. wat crap is tat?

my bro n i at pasta mania.. yummy food!!

while shopping, realised tat singaporeans r really up to date with fashion.. one thing u must do when u go sg, is to observe their fashion!. XD

the foooood.. was really full after eating..
the pic does no justice to how it tastes n looks!
blame the camera. lol

sis n mom.. so happy 2 eat.

my sis n i at siam kitchen.. food was good too but prefer pasta mania. :)
this was a candid shot, hence, my face.. lol

back to coll

after 3 weeks of lepaking at home n with frens, the time has come to continue my slavery.. yes.... doing the unthinkable of waking up when u hear an annoying sound, driving to the miserable station to continue my suffering, waiting restlessly n impatiently for the sight of a blue train which is always.. always.. always.. did i mention always?...always..delayed... squeezing my way thru the tiny door which everyone barges their way thru, touching, hugging ppl tat i dont want to.. gasping for air when i finally reach putra station.. straightening out the creases on my shirt tat was once ironed by the pitiful owner.. using bus no. 11 to jay-walk to the dying mall with so few souls wondering around u can count with 1 hand... passing by shops tat hav not opened(dont even know y they bother to set up their shop here) up to the 3rd floor.. the miserably cold place tat chills u to the bone where i will spend a few hours of my life 4 tat day...

yeeessssss.......... college..

tat has been my journey 4 the last few months...i was not all tat excited n keen bout going back to coll.. could not sleep the nite b4 coz was so used to sleeping so late.. but surprisingly, i woke up early.. after getting ready, i still had some free time(wats the use of being early 2 coll on the 1st day of my 3rd sem?)..i decided to do devotion, disturb penette(my hamster), n walk aimlessly n absentmindedly around the house(which only takes 14 secs to go from 1 end 2 the other).. after a deep sigh, i decided to go to the station.. n i was still early.. 14 mins earlier than usual.. waited for the 8.05 train (i usually take the 8.25 train n prefer to be fashionably late) which came late.. as usual.. could not get in coz there were so many ppl (im not the kind who barges n pushes their way thru like there's no 2moro juz 2 get into the train).. so, i juz stepped back n decided to wait 4 the next train while i stared at the sardine paste in the blue train, passing by me.. the next train was not too packed.. i could still breath normally n actually move a few paces backwards n forwards.. thank God for this amazing once in a blue moon experience!..

when i reached coll, most of the seniors n my frens were there.. my frens were in the library.. then one of my fren asked me a really funny question bout my hair... 'eh susan,(wrong spelling but tats how they call me) u.....' hahaha.. i dun think i wanna write it down n embarrass her la.. moving on... this sem, we were having our LAN subjects..grumblebrumblegrumble... i found out tat our classes was only from mon-wed!! hiphiphooray!!hiphiphooray!!.. so this means i will b very free? should i find a job? i think i should.. wat job? n transport?.. aiya.. think bout tat later.. back to coll..

our 1st subject was moral. but we found out tat the lecturer's husband passed away.. poor thing.. so we were dismissed early.. we had to wait a while to collect our results from the 2nd sem exams.. went 4th floor for a drink.. when finally took results, i was utterly surprised! i tot i did much worse! God must hav really helped me this time!.. thanks!... n so, after collecting the results, i parted with my frens n went home with the ktm gang.. reached back home, read comic until felt sleepy coz did not sleep much the previous nite.. woke up later n went 4 lunch at station1.. had a free chicken chop set using the coupon 4 my bday.. XD .. lazy 2 talk bout the rest of my day but 2moro (tues) i hav no class coz same lecturer as the one teaching us moral for pengajian am.. woohooooo!! but back 2 coll on wed... *pout*.. so here i m blogging.. will continue to do more nonsense later coz no need wake up early... lalalalalalalalala.. ^_^

mv's

warning : DONT watch this mv if u DONT like sexiness..
put this mv here juz 2 compare the song with DBSK.. actually feel meluat after watching it.. dont wanna watch it again..
sarah connor : under my skin
same song, as in the tune n the words 'i've got u under my skin', with DBSK, diff lyrics, diff style of performance..
how did this happen? who's right n who's wrong in this situation?
heard tat both bought the rights to this song at the same time...



DBSK : mirotic
this mv is pretty nice.. nice dance moves..n i still cant stand micky's hair!! prefer this version to sarah connor's one.. its not tat sexy till u feel meluat!



BoA : eat u up
she's debuting in the US n this is one of her songs.. quite addictive (as in it keeps playing in ur head over n over) n leaves an impact on u with the lyrics.. she can really dance too.. when i watch her dance, i feel its like a boy dancing.. XD overall, a good mv..

another surprise!!

eventhough my bday was around 2 weeks ago, my frens, the dong bang gang, decided to throw me another bday surprise yesterday!! (17 oct.) can u believe it?! they said tat wat they did for me on my bday was not enough n decided 2 do another one!!.. thanks u all!! im totally speechless here!

i 4got wat day it was, but zhe rei called n asked if we could hang out in jane's house on friday... each of us were supposed to cook something so that we could hav homemade dinner together.. i casually asked if there was some special occasion coz we usually do this for a special occasion n she said no.. its juz a hang out session.. oh well.. im going back to coll next week so i really wanna hang out with them.. then there was a headache of wat to cook.. i tot since they were cooking, y not i bake cheesecake? so i msg-ed jin li n told her... she said she doesn't want me to bake cheesecake coz her mom has been baking cakes n they hav never tasted my cooking b4.. (wow... pressure to impress here!) XD.. she asked me to make macaroni cheese.. i was taken aback.. so i decided to look up recipes on how to make carbonara sauce..

made cream cheese mushroom sausage carbonaro pasta(farfalle) 4 my mom n sis 4 dinner as n experiment on the nite b4.. gav some 2 chris n aunt jenny.. it tasted nice, so i would try to pull it off again on friday.. took me 2 hours++ to cook the whole thing.. phew......

on friday while cooking, zhe rei msg-ed n said the cookies she n jin li were making tak jadi n bought ice-cream instead.. i arrived late at jane's house.. they were in the kitchen while jane was preparing speghetti.. wow.. looks like we had lots of food.. lee yee brought fried chicken.. jane's dad made this delicious ice-blended mango drink.. it was an appetizing n filling dinner.. after dinner, lee yee asked me to take some pics with her n jane coz they planned to do something interesting with our photos.. we went to the balcony 2 camwhore while jin li n zhe rei washed plates..

while camwhoring a few mins, suddenly, the lights went off.. i tot jane's dad accidentaly swicthed it off.. then jin li came out with zhe rei holding a cake.. they were all smiling.. i was puzzled.. whose bday was it? the next bday was zhe rei but hers was not in october.. so is the cake juz a dessert?.. they were walking towards me with the cake n jane had the vid cam on me.. so the cake's 4 me!??... yes! it was 4 me!! i was so touched! tats y jin li didnt want me to make cheesecake coz they were baking a cake 4 me n the story bout their cookies tak jadi was a lie! i was really shocked tat this was really 4 me!.. we ate the delicious choc walnut cake with ice cream....mmmmm... it was simply luscious n scrumptious!! (i hav to watch my diet after this!!)

proceeded to jane's room to go dong bang crazy.. we all plopped onto the bed n jane wanted to show a vid.. it began with pics of us together.. i tot aawww... so nice of jane to make a vid of us.. as it played further on, it dawned to me tat the vid was for me!! for me!! as a gift!! i was so moved!! it was clips of each of them talking bout their feelings bout our friendship n wishing me happy belated bday! i was moved to tears!! (i guess tat was their mission. 4 me to cry!!) it was so out of the blue.. after tat, we sang some songs.. they sang while i, tried..tried to sing as it was in japanese n korean! zhe rei was the best.. she could sing all the songs!.. few mins later, zhe rei, jin li n lee yee went back home.. i lingered a while longer with jane..

went back home n told my mom n sis bout everything.. i let my mom watch the vid they made n showed the ring tat lee yee bought 4 all of us.. read the letter tat jin li wrote too.. thanks!!

note to dong bang gang :

i really did not expect u guys to do this for me! believe me, i m really touched n happy with wat u all did.. was going thru a personal tough time n this really lifted my spirits!! im the type of person who keeps things to herself n i also dont tell ppl how much i care or love them in words, as in telling them face to face or telling it outloud myself.. (jae n edward r exceptions coz they are ppl we fantasize about so u cant compare this with them!! u know im crazyly over expressive bout them!!) so if i express it out, i really mean it.. im sorry if i didn't thank u all enough.. i really dont know wat n how to say.. i appreciate our friendship.. hope it lasts for as long as we live!! without true frens, its a boring world to live in.. saranghae! <3 n thanks again!! God bless ya all!! XD

mom's bday

mom's bday was on the 13th of oct.. i shall not reveal her age for fear of being slaughtered later on.. hahahaha.. as long as she's young at heart..

so.... my sis n i bincang-ed bout her bday few weeks b4.. my sis suggested we make mee swah.. (dunno how to spell.. as long as u get the idea..) n i suggested buying some facial care product since she doesnt really spend money on herself.. since i was on holiday, i was to wake up early in the morn to go buy the stuff to cook from the market with AKF.. tat was quite a challenge coz i hav been sleeping really late n waking up really late too, but this was for my mom, so i managed to wake up! *pats self on the back couple of times* sharp 8am, i was at AKF's doorstep.. i think she was surprised i was on time, n off we went to the market. i was half asleep walking or zombie-ing around the market.. juz following AKF.. she helped me in buying the stuff n gav me pointers on how to prepare the soup n all.. fyi, the soup is not some chicken cube ajinomoto okay.. it was made from boiling chicken bones, skimming the impurities for around 1 hour.. n tat was only the chicken stock!

boiling the chicken bones to make the stock..


some of the vege as ingredients..
there were much more ingredients than this..

checking some guidelines(my coll notes) so tat i dont make mistakes!
*blush*... its not easy if u wanna make yummy soup 4 a good cook like my mom!

cutting cincau

finish cutting half of cincau

mom's 2nd present from her lovely daughters!
thanks to my facial grooming consultant (ron) for helping me pick this out!
XD

cookies i baked

before going into the oven.. the black stuff on top are blueberries, in case u were curious..

there were more pics but i accidentaly deleted them.. sigh... anyways, mom was happy n very touched by wat her amazing n lovely daughters did for her!! happy tat she was happy!! but sad tat she could not taste the soup properly, coz she was not feelin well!.. the soup tat took 2 hours+ to prepare! but to me, it tasted nice la.. aiya.. giv some credit to a first timer at making this kinda soup n meal!! hahaha..

down

i suddenly feel down.. i dunno y. i was fine the whole day up till now.. was reading a few of my secondary skool frens blog.. i realise tat they really r enjoying college or watever they r doing now n still hang out with each other.. having nice clothes, hanging out with all the 'cool' ppl at some cool restaurants.. sigh.. as for me, im at this tiny boring college tat no1 has ever heard of n we wear uniform 2 class n my batch has only 7 ppl! im not saying my coll frens r not nice.. they r nice.. i appreciate having them as my frens, but sometimes, its hard 2 express wat i feel with them coz 1st of all, most of them speak mandarin n my mandarin sucks.. sometimes, i wanna share a joke or tell them something, but i juz cant put it in words.. they ask me, 'y so quiet?'.. n i juz smile.. wat else can i say? feel really out of place sometimes..

im not the type who can pretend tat everything is alright eventhough i try to.. people can c thru me as though im the clearest piece of glass.. my face, my actions, body language all reflects wat im thinking n feeling.. i guess tats my weakness..

i also feel i hav really changed since sec. skool.. when i look back, i feel like i was this naive n stupid person who follow watever ppl say n help those who needs help even if they wanna take advantage of my stupidity.. but now, i feel im not tat nice little girl tat ppl can fool around or laugh behind their backs about.. my words r more piercing, actions nastier n ppl gossip bout me even in front of me.. im gonna hav the 'who cares' n 'watever' attitide.. as long as i know my actions r rite n im not disobeying God, i dont care wat ppl will say about me.. we cant try 2 make everyone happy.. ppl r bound 2 hate u coz u r doing the rite thing n u confront them when u feel there is a misunderstanding.. if everyone likes u, there is definitely sumthing wrong.. either u r 2 face, or u r a seriously professional backstabber..

i really thank God i hav a wonderful family n an amazing extended family, YA youth.. i feel these 2 groups r the only ppl i can really b myself... the childish, annoying, crapy, irritating self.. mayb they cant stand me as well? who knows.. i really dont wanna wallow in self pitty here.. since this is a diary, i juz wanna express wat i currently feel.. im supposed 2 prepare for YA sharing 2moro which i still hav not done.. sigh.. feel really bad about it.. well, i should sleep soon n wake up 'early' 2moro 2 finish up on the topic im sharing.. only God can help me with my probs.. He is the only one who can understand me n love me eventhough i frequently get on His nerves.. He is never sick of me.. i sumtimes feel i dont deserve this love.. the great price He paid 4 my life.. ashamed to show my face after the many things i have done wrong n still come 2 ask for help when i hav no way out of this deep deep hole i hav fallen into.. u r the only 1 i can trust..

these songs came to me as im writting.. i juz remembered these 2 songs..

-----------------------------------------------

~ 1. Heart of worship ~

when the music fades,
n all is striped away,
n i simply come,
longing juz 2 bring, something tats of worth,
tat will bless ur heart,
i'll bring u more than a song, for a song in itself,
its not wat u have required,
u search much deeper within, thru the way things appear,
ur looking into my heart....

im coming back 2 a heart of worship,
when its all about u, when its all about u, Jesus,
im sorry Lord 4 the things i've made it,
when its all about u, when its all about u,
Jesus.

----------------------------------------------------------

~ 2. Mighty to save ~

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

my bday!

well.. my bday is not 2day.. it was actually on the 2nd of oct.. after so long only im gonna write bout it.. lol.. the nite b4 2nd oct., i was coming back from cameron highlands n was quite moody coz of the pain from the pressure in my ear... then jane called me n ask if i was free to go out for lunch with the gang in 1utama.. i suspected something.. she ajak me to go out on my birthday but did not even mention my birthday. doesn't tat sound suspicious 2 u? we were laughing when we were talking coz we both knew why she asked me to go out.. lol.. thanks anyway jane.. its the thought tat matters the most..

morning of 2nd oct.. my bday.. but truthfully, its the first time ever tat i felt it was juz like any other day.. no excitement at all.. mayb still tired from the trip..felt better when i met up with the gang, jane, jin li, lee yee n zhe rei.. jin li gav me a jae joong poster as my gift.. thanks!!.. XD.. the plan was to go karaoke but it was fully booked coz of the public hols again.. sigh.. so we went to watch mama mia instead.. sat quite near the front.. it was a fun n lame show.. the ppl talking talking, then suddenly start singing.. lol.. n the dancers juz appear out of no where to join the main characters to dance.. the other funny thing is tat james bond, pierce brosnan can actually sing!! he totally lost his cool guy facade in this show esp when they showed the pic of him when he was younger n during the end of the show where he wore tat outrageous elvis presley outfit! kudos to the producers for not changing the style of abba songs.. if they were to modernise it with some techno upbeat tempo, it would not hav been nice n also memorable for the older generation to watch.. like they say, old is gold.. n i think there were ppl singing along in the cinema too...

we then proceeded to lunch. zhe rei suggested we go to ms. read.. we ordered 3 desserts n shared amongst ourselves (i think u can guess y we did tat! XD) .after 'lunch', zhe rei had 2 leave early n wanted to buy some food for her sis so we split up. i was kinda suspicious coz we used the 'need to go back early' excuse for lee yee's surprise bday but i believed the 'need to buy food for sis' part. after browsing thru some shops, zhe rei n jane came back with zhe rei was equiped with vid cam in her hands, while jane wore a big grin on her face. wat was going on? it took a few seconds to click in my slow brain when jane reached into her bag n pulled out a present. the 'need to buy food for sis' was a trick after all to go buy my present!! lol.. i tot i would not fall for anything tat they planned! my present was the second book of the twilight saga i was reading, 'new moon'!! i gasped in surprise when i saw the present! thanks u all!!

after coming back home, i felt kinda down coz my family was supposed to eat at a korean restaurant as my bday dinner but my mom was sick... felt really disappointed.. didnt want my mom 2 know i was sad so i went on9 n u-tubed n also read midnite sun, thanks 2 mei mei.. asked christine on9 if she wanted to go out with ron. chris said ron was in penang.. weird. how did she know ron was in penang? so i suggested calling melissa n sheryl instead but chris said tat its too far for them to come to kepong n they needed to study.. wat a birthday this was turning into.. the thrill of the afternoon out with my frens had certainly worned out n vanished.. suddenly chris called my house phone n asked if i wanted to go to her house to watch antm cycle11. at first, i felt lazy to go.. i changed my mind though. better than staying at home rite? but it took me awhile to go to her house coz i was reading midnite sun (how could i leave edward?! XD).. when i reached her house, her door was usually opened but it was closed.. then i went into her room n she wanted to switch on the air-con n closed the door.. getting weirder.. our house was cool enough tat we dont need the fan n she wants the air-con? if she wants to, go ahead, i tot.. we started watching for a while..

few mins later, AKF called me from the hall n said she wanted to show me something.. so i asked wat is it? but she was juz looking at the tv screen.. then ben came walking from the front door n he shouted something like 'hoi'.. i tot, oh, ben is back home.. then he started singing happy bday together with the others behind him.. the YA youth! i screamed n jumped where i stood from the shock coz it was a bday surprise!! i felt so touched! totall didnt expect it! chris, sheryl n melissa lied to me tat they were not coming! i tot this was a normal thing when i came to chris's house to watch 'antm' but i got tricked by my frens, twice now! really appreciated the effort for them to gather 2gether to come n surprise me.. my sister was also behind this.. she came a little later.. they were hiding in pastor's room while waiting for me to come to chris's house! tat explains all the weirdness! lol.. melissa presented my present to me.. a dwarf hamster complete with the cage, bottle, food,.. everything!

my hols

sorry for neglecting my blog so long... tot would b blogging everyday but was distracted by this book called 'twilight' which my frens were totally over the top-ly crazy about n guess wat, im now over the moon with the book! currently reading the 3rd book n am head over heals about the main character Edward.. *faints from even thinking of his name* lol....

anyways, Edward aside, (lets not daydream bout him 4 a few mins, if tats even possible.. XD) my mom, sis, aunt jenny n i went to cameron highlands on the 1st of oct. sad my bro could not make it though.. sigh.. my mom was really exited bout it coz i've NEVER in all my 17 (still was 17 years old coz 24 hours later on 2nd oct, im 18!!) years of my life, been to cameron highlands.. sweat rite?.. so i shall skip the part of a groggy me waking up n all at 6.00am n here we r at cameron highlands, crawling up n down the winding jammed road .. of course la. hari raya ma..n we finally made our 1st stop at this vege n strawberry farm (what else is there in cameron highlands rite?) n there was quite a wide variety of cookies, coffees n teas to choose to buy from..

now im wondering, wat else is there to write about? we juz visited a few farms here n there, found a hard time trying to find a restaurant tat isn't pack with ppl, to fill our rumbling stomachs, n surprisingly, cameron highlands was still cool n breezy even with the sun out.. i tot it wont even feel cool with all the irresponsible chopping of flora n the global warming thing.. lol.. bought quite a few things, eg., vege, fruits, coffee, souveniers, vases, flowers n a few more miscellaneous stuff.. left at around 5pm n went to rawang 2 eat bak kut teh.. oh yeah.. my ears really hurt from the air pressure thing on the way down.. its not the normal air pressure where u swallow ur saliva n, pop, its gone.. it was really hurting my ears till i felt my veins could burts! not exagerating here.. its worst when im in an airplane.. tats y i let go of my dreams 2 b a flight attendant.. sob.. i could b deaf in a few years if i were flying everyday n mayb even twice or thrice a day.. anyways, cut the crap.. i had fun n here r some pics..

the flower we bought.. pretty rite? i dun even know the name. lol
