Birthday Surprise
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 || 6:02 PM
Back to 15th September 2011. It was yen chee's birthday and we gave her a surprise on that afternoon. More like a prank if you know what i am saying. I was supposed to stay for math until 4pm but i skipped it. The first thing I did was fetching hui xian from Berry’s at Taipan after buying a chocolate cake for yen. We left the cake at the back seat before we went to get some balloons at 7-eleven. Planned to splash her with water and water balloons. And something just happened. When I was about to make a turn at the junction, the traffic light just turned red and I applied an emergency break, so fast, I heard sounds from the back, and shit, we just thought of the cake. Hui xian hesitated for a while before peeping into the box. The cream was somehow not in good condition, compressed. So we brought it to yan hong’s house, tried to fix the cake. We blew the balloons, wrote wishes on her card, get ready with our tools and headed to usj 12 field. Yen was going to arrive at yan hong’s house, so yu hong and I hurriedly rushed out to set up everything at the field first, awaiting the rest of them. But unfortunately, we went to the wrong field due to misunderstanding. And so, they arrived before us and we were left with plan B. Yen was blindfolded with a tie while we grabbed hold of the balloons and then one two three, we went, hitting the balloons right on the ground. They just didn’t burst, but hit straight on the birthday girl. It seems like we were playing a fool on her, first was the cake and second the balloon. Well, the balloons burst at last and we brought out the cake, unfolded the tie and sang her a birthday song. Right after the song, she took some cream with her hands and wiped on us. Everyone was running in the middle of the field like nobody’s business, but luckily, there was no outsiders at all, no one was looking at our silly act. After all the tiring run and stuff, we left for MCD. Had a great meal before we left.
Another memorable day spent with my fellow friends <3
Save the rest for pictures!
Johor and SG

Had a great trip to Johor and Singapore. For the first time, i went back with only my mum by plane. It was Friday morning, a public holiday, Malaysia's Day. My aunt dropped us at Malaysia's custom and we took a bus ride to enter Singapore. Just when i was about to step into the bus, i could see someone waving at the window. It was my cousins, we rode the same bus coincidentally. They were supposed to go by train but because the train delayed, we met in the bus. So we headed to my aunt's apartment first, had lunch downstairs and back to her place. After that, mum brought grandma to visit other relatives while the five of us stayed in the apartment watching tv. We also had a great laugh watching videos on youtube. Around 2 in the afternoon, we took LRT to the shopping mall. Shifted from one mall to another, from 2 to 5pm, we met another aunt after work at Vivo City, shopped for another one hour, ice-cream treat at haagen daaz and swensens, then we walked slowly to Sentosa. It was a long journey with beautiful scenery, night views, saw a big cruise, wonder what's inside, and we were getting tired. Finally we arrived at the casino, waited for the adults for dinner. Ate a meal which cost 400 plus singapore dollars. Jaw dropped. Later, the adults went back into casino and because it was only one hour left, we wandered around the shops outside universal studio. At last, we sat at coffee bean after tired of walking. Went back to Johor at 11pm. I nearly had my legs broken walking from 8am to 11pm.
Yesterday, i spent the whole day at my grandma's house. As usual, i went with my cousins to the market and helped them with the vegetables chores. At night, we gathered in the living hall, listened to my aunts' rants. The funniest part was one of my aunt said Europe countries are so beautiful, where ever you go, you will keep looking around, turning your head and the only word that comes out is beautiful beautiful beautiful. I forgot how many times she said that word. Uncountable. She also stressed on good food in other country. Laughed our butts off. After some of them left, i watched a movie, Land of the Dead with my cousins. It was about zombies, scary faces, sudden appearance, my cousin brother even had a leg cramp because he was frightened. The movie ended at 12am.
Spent two awesome days with them. Extremely satisfied. Now I don't want to be in KL because i don't want to be in college and there's no more holiday until december, and that's not counted as holiday too, study leave, bad bad.

Spent a SCARY CRAZY AWESOME night with yen, kar yin and zhe kai. We went out from 2 to 10, spent almost the whole day outside. Never have this feeling for a long time. JANGGG!
Zhe kai drove us to bukit tinggi jusco to catch a movie this afternoon. Eventually, we watched My Kingdom after considering all movies. The urge of watching it grew on me when i realized hangeng acts in the movie and of course i want to support him. The movie is not really good except for the action scene which is the best part of all. We were able to guess some of the parts right as well, knowing what's gonna happen next.
Returned home to change car because there was some problem with zk's car, so i drove my myvi. Went to usj 11 to fetch our little princess before heading to ss15. It was kinda scary driving along with two expert besides me. My driving skill wasn't good enough yet. Fortunately, i have two instructors correcting my mistakes along the road and managed to reach our destination safely. Had dinner at Asia Cafe. I haven't been there for months since i left. I missed that place so much! After walking around deciding on food, yen and i ordered popiah, four of us shared a plate of pizza and my dinner was char kuey teow. They were busy telling their story while i was busy listening and laughing at the same time. Envy them for having such an interesting life in college. After that, we walked over to Snowflakes, four of us shared one bestseller as we were quite full after having a heavy dinner. I forgot how long we spent talking in Snowflakes, as long as it was time to leave at 9pm. And, forgotten how much i spent today but i guess it's worthy. Money buys happiness?
Brought them home safe and sound after everything.
I wish we can get together often like this.

How can i not mention Mr.K?
Apparently, he was right in front of the lif, on his way to college i suppose while we came out from the lif. First encounter after three weeks. Teehee! New hairstyle, i almost couldn't recognize him. Shorter and cooler! He and his hairstyle ~ JANG! And for today, he suddenly appeared, not at the usual time, but oh well, he was wearing a hoodie. I wonder why korean likes to wear hoodie when the weather is actually so hot in Malaysia that it can burn our skin. Jen was walking in front of me, and i could see her turning back with her smiley face. The face that grew curiosity on the rest, only both of us know and i couldn't take my smile away too.
Driving is seriously tiring. I have not been so tired for a while, almost wear out. The only satisfaction i get is home sweet home!
I'm gonna be a driver tomorrow, and fetching my friend home is really a big responsibility. I know she wouldn't mind if i drive like a tortoise tomorrow.
At the moment, i just wanna shop!

Three-weeks break obviously makes me lazier.
Well, this holiday was somewhat awesome, i watched 5 dramas, went on a trip in Bali and hang out with my best friends! I left all my books untouched, will see how i get into trouble real soon.
Today, i had monday blues as usual, but just the thought of returning home everyday keeps me move on. Everyone asked me the same question, why don't i stay in the hostel. The answer is simple, yet i don't feel like answering.
My classmates have not change much, perhaps a missing heart. I'm sure they miss their home.
Jen looks younger and cuter with her bangs now. She was so happy that she told me she lost weight during holiday. 'Diet always starts tomorrow for girls', quoted by my dear roommate and she made it.
We started C2 for math and calculator is finally available!
Let's believe everyday will be a special day from now!
At least i do.
Pulau Bali
Sunday, September 4, 2011 || 2:13 PM
Went on a 4 days 3 night trip in Bali Island. It took about 3 hours before we touched down at the airport of Bali.
We reached there in the evening so the destination after that was only dinner and back to hotel. We were brought to enjoy a seafood dinner beside the beach and the first thing i realized was the different taste of water in Bali. After a quick meal, we walked along the beach in the dark. In Bali, it gets dark earlier than in Malaysia, which is around 6.30 and at 7pm it's totally dark out there. The hotel is kinda beautiful and there's many pools around. I slept with two of my cousin sisters while both my brothers slept with cousin brother. Perfectly arranged.
Second day in Bali, our tour guide brought us to see the process of making batik and also watched a traditional dance by the local people. We got bored after a few minutes of watching because we could not understand the storyline. There is nothing to be blamed of because they have different culture from us. So we left probably half an hour after that.
Had an Indonesian buffet lunch with an active volcano in sight. A wonderful view of the volcano. Next stop, we visited a hindu temple. All of us who was wearing shorts are compulsory to wear a sarung covering the legs. The local people were having some sorts of ceremony, they went into a place where their bodies were half soaked in the water.
Later, the adults went for spa and massage while the remaining of us went to Mcdonalds. We were supposed to wait for the adults for two hours but we finished our chicken in less than half an hour. So the bus driver sent us back to the spa and we sat there having nothing to do. There is this little boy from another family who is so funny and naughty at the same time. He did entertain us with his singing and dancing. We had a great time joking and laughing our butts off. After that was dinner and back to hotel early as usual. Out of boredom, we decided to walk over to the mini market, Circle K to get ourselves something to eat for the rest of the time before midnight. The security guards on duty were so nice that they helped this 6 kids crossed the road and fetched us back from the opposite. Thumbs up for them!
On the third day morning, we headed to the beach. Kids' favourite place! We went on boat riding and came to a village which rear turtles. First time touching turtle and had a close glance at the water creature. The wind was extremely strong till it messed up our hair and seawater splashing onto our face. My face and hair were wet and salty. We went back on shore, cleaned up, washed away the sands from all parts of our body before lunch.
Another visit to the biggest temple in Bali. Shopped along the streets and bought some souvenirs. That night, all of us swam in the pool, having lots of fun in the water, even though it was freezing cold. And we get some ice-cream from Circle K. Finished packing our luggage, we spent time watching tv, munching on tip-bits and crap for the rest of the night.
Early in the next morning, my family checked out first because our flight were different. My relative's flight to Singapore was 10pm so they get to tour in Bali for another half day.
This trip is somehow a very relaxing trip ever because we didn't have to rush from one place to another as there were not many places to visit each day. Some bus rides also took us about 1 hour so we get to nap in the bus. Overall, it was good, experienced new culture, acknowledged that they are still not as advance as Malaysia, i don't think i would want to return to this island again. I'm looking forward to another trip with my relatives. But before that, I'll be going to Johor next Friday! Yuhoooooo n_________n
