China Trip this year

Family going to China today... without me. First time they're all going overseas without me... it's an 8-days trip. Well, at least they didn't go to Australia. I'd be begging to go too XD
But having exam next week and also this Thursday. Jia you jia you~

my keyboard is here~ wakaka

Finally~ after one week's wait, it's here~ XD

Now, i shall never be bored~

my new keyboard... or to be exact,it's an electric piano. 88 keys, just like a standard piano.

It can record songs and transfer them to your computer through it's USB port. Maybe I can compile a CD perhaps. Hehe...

I got it for RM2350, here in Malacca. I negotiated with the salesperson on Tuesday last week and paid the RM1000 deposit on that day itself. Then this past Tuesday, i was wondering if it had reached. I tried calling the shop but there was no answer. So in the afternoon, i went straight to the shop in order to enquire about it.

When I entered the shop, the salesperson greeted me by saying, "哇! 你有第六感的啊?" -.-'

She said that the piano had just arrived and she was just about to call me but i had already reached the shop before she could do that.

I told her that I was just there to enquire whether it has reached or not... Since i didn't have the money with me yet. So, i had to walk all the way to Dataran Pahlawan to the ATM to get the cash and then walk back to the shop which took me about 15-20 minutes.

After i paid for it, the salesperson asked me to park my car in front of the shop so that we can move the piano into it. The keyboard itself is quite heavy, minus the stand and chair. I reversed my car to the shop and helped to carry the keyboard. Luckily i went there alone because if there was another person with me, i guess he/she would have to take the bus back as the whole piano had taken up all the space in the car, except the driver's seat.

And now, it's here in UV~ once again, i am reunited with music~ my first love~ XD

Back to NT 1.10.09

Overnight at SRC (Student Representative Council) room. Had Economics Paper at 9a.m. to 11a.m. So the night before, Terry, Shi Ching, Boon Chen, Kee Gui, Yean Ruey and I decided to overnight at school to study. Before this it was always at my apartment. Changed venue already. Don't know if it was because of the air-con or i was already at my 'sleeping' point, i read two lines of the book, sleep half an hour. Terry woke me up, read two lines, sleep again. Woke me up again, read two lines, sleep again... Until, it was 7a.m. already, woke up, then went back to bathe, go back to school...exam XD

After exam, we were thinking of where to go and eat. McD was calling me at the back of my head...hehe

Anyhow, we went to Ixora Apartment's food court. I told Sin Yong about going to McD at Melaka Sentral since i'm going to send Terry and his friend there later. She said ok. She'll accompany me. I wanted to eat McD since they're giving the Coke Contour Glasses. I want to collect them~ So if anyone knows when they change colour, let me know~ Arigato~
Sin Yong and i shared a waffle and the rest had their lunch.

After lunch, we went back to our respective homes. At 1.19p.m., Terry called. It was my queue to go and fetch him and his friend to Sentral. Once there, we head to the McD to get mine and Sin Yong's lunch. We found out that the glasses had changed colour from pink to blue. Sin Yong was disappointed...she wants green colour. So she didn't order the contour glass lunch set. I was glad they changed colour. Had been waiting for it since i got the pink one (thanks kor).

At about 2.25p.m., there were only Sin Yong and i since Terry and his friend had left for their 2.30p.m. bus. We talked for a while, finished our fries, got refills and left. I remembered about my ticket booking and we went to get the ticket from the counter. 9p.m.'s bus. A few more hours...

Once we reached home, i was extremely tired -.-' like my battery ran out or something... but still had enough energy to switch on the laptop and go online XD signed in to msn and left it there... (pai seh ah...didn't reply some of you guys' messages...too tired already)

i had not even completely packed my things but i plopped into bed and went to dreamland...Zzz...

At 6.30p.m., i woke up. O.o 6.30p.m. already! So fast. Completely lost track of time le. Quickly got up to pack my things. Took my bath, and got ready. I was planning to take the 8p.m. bus to Sentral. But then, Kee Gui said her Sister was coming to fetch her and she could probably send me to Sentral as well. Thank you so much yea~

When we reached Sentral, we waved goodbye and i went to the terminal to wait. My bus was supposed to be at gate 18/19 but it was still early so i sat down at gate 12. Not long after i sat down, a young lady approached me. She seems to be about my age or maybe just a little older.

“可以帮我看一下吗？”

She was asking me to look after her luggage for a while. I said ok and she put down her bags on the seat beside me and left. She'd probably went to the toilet or to buy some food. So there i was, waiting while playing with my phone. After some time, i didn't want to play already and i was just staring at the automatic doors in front of me. Melaka Sentral's automatic doors at the terminals are quite funny. There's a no entry sign on each alternate door. So it's like the first door can enter, the next one cannot. If you want to put a no entry sign on the door, might as well don't put a door there la. What's the point of having a door there when it cannot be opened? For display only?

And people pulak... Maybe the sign is too small (i doubt that) or we're just that ignorant...Even with the no entry sign, people would still try to enter through the door. They'd stand there, waiting for the door to open. If you walk up to a distance, the automatic door would open, right? You don't have to actually touch the door to open it. So if it doesn't open even if you're just a footstep away, you should probably back up and try another door, right? But some people, they'd walk till they bang the door...and still wait for it to open. I saw someone even try to pry it open -.-' I was sitting right in front of the no entry doors. So hard for me to keep myself from laughing out loud = X

After some time, the lady came back to get her luggage and thanked me. I sat there till around 8.50p.m. watching people try to go against a no entry sign. Feeling that it was time, i went to buy McD's Sundae Cone before i went to my gate to wait. Like before, i sat down at another no entry door...watching the same thing at times.

As expected, the bus was late. It only left the terminal at 9.22p.m. I was already feeling a little drowsy in the bus. I slept ocassionally but when it reached a stop, i'd wake up. I did sleep soundly on the highway. Until at about 3.50a.m., i reached Taiping. Didn't quite estimated the time well so i called my Dad saying that i'm about to reach. Sorry, Dad. Made you wait quite a while leh. The bus stopped at Bagan Serai before stopping at where i was supposed to get down, Parit Buntar. I officially reached at 4.50a.m. Luckily i managed to wake up when the bus stopped. I looked around for my Dad's car and only found it when the bus left -.-' it was blocking his car.

It was a rather quiet drive home. He occasionally asked about my car and i just answered. Didn't comment on my hair...

When we reached home, my Mom came out from the room for a while. Didn't comment on my hair... I think she was still a bit blurred... She went back to her room and slept. I went into my room and saw my Sister sleeping. My youngest Sister's probably sleeping with my Mom. Quietly, i put down my bags and went to change clothes. Then, i went to sleep again XD

Project Makeover II

Today, i did something i never thought i'd do...haha...

After the Business Mathematics Exam, we went to makan. Then my classmate, Yean Ruey wanted to buy hair spray. So we went to U-centre mini mart. But, the hairspray is expensive. Then, we looked up and saw Gatsby hair dye... hehehe.... maybe we were too stressed already la...

"Want to dye hair ah?"

"Ok lo...on lo..."

After fussing about what colour to choose, finally got Clear Brown, the last unit of it (must be a popular colour)

We shared one bottle... First time DIY dye hair leh...

Went back to my place and Yean Ruey, Sin Yong and Angie became my hairstyling crew XD

And the result, tadaa...

Arigato you guys. Don't know tomorrow Economics Exam, got people notice or not lur...

Anyways, Gambatehyo~ XD

L.O.S.T.

Have you ever felt like sometimes, you're just lost? Try as you may, you just can't seem to find the correct road. It's like you're just running in circles. At a junction, you can't decide which turn to take. You hesitate. You want to go there, but the tiny voice in your head says otherwise. Frustration sets in and you get confused.

Have you ever thought of pulling the brakes? Just stop. Look around you. Maybe, there's just something that is meant for you to see, to know. And maybe, that something is your way out.

You may say that it's a coincidence. I believe in coincidence...and also fate. Sometimes, a little patience and belief can go a long way.

Getting lost can be a good thing. It teaches you to slow down. If you have a map, great (if you know how to look at it). If you don't, stop...and see. At times, we may be looking but we aren't actually seeing. That is how we miss the little coincidences in life. Or maybe, they were meant to be missed, in order to lead you to a fated incident. No matter what, don't blame anyone for whatever that happens, including yourself.

Everything that happens, it happens for a reason. There is a reason why you live... Live your reason.

16.09.09 Part 2: 3 Cooks, 2 Packets of Spaghetti & 1 Kitchen...

After coming back from Jusco, we went to Terry's apartment. All five of us were very tired... So, what else to do? Sleep lo XD who knew... slept till Shi Ching and Gordon went back (paiseh Terry...your bed too nice to sleep le...or rather, we all very tired). Left Boon Chen, Terry and me only.

At around 4.30p.m., finally got up to actually start cooking.

16.09.09 Part 1: A trip to Jusco on one fine day...

Wednesday
7.30a.m. Alarm rang. Switched it off. Saw 3 more pigs also still asleep. Fell back asleep. Zzz...

8.00a.m. Someone already woke up. I think it was Shi Ching. Terry, Boon Chen, Kee Gui and I still asleep. But after a while, we all woke up...cause 9a.m. got English class (last class with Ms. Elaine). Got ready, then sent Shi Ching and Boon Chen back to Ixora (these two and Terry overnight at my place. Started out as a deal to do homework...but...end up sleeping...hehe. 5 people share one single mattress. Geng leh~)

9a.m. Ms. Elaine's class. Discussed about the Final Exam Format. At the end of the class, she asked each and everyone of us to write her a memo. She said, "You can write anything you want. But please, class...don't write, 'please give me extra marks la, Teacher.' " Haha...some other class did that. So she reminded us.

10a.m. Class dismissed. Terry, Boon Chen, Shi Ching, Gordon and I went to my car and we drove to Jusco. Today, we planned to cook spaghetti at Terry's place. So had to go and buy the ingredients first: spaghetti and...sauce... gau dim XD
But then, i said i wanted to look for shoes. We browsed at the ground floor for a while before proceeding to the first floor...
And there was where the fun began...

The toys department is at the first floor. Being the childish gang we were, we browsed through that department also. Played with hoola hoops, children CD games (until a child came staring at us. Then we let him play la... if not, want to fight with him meh?) and toy race cars, etc.

But the thing that kept us there for roughly half an hour was the magnetic drawing board...where 'artists' show their creative skills and talents...like this...

looks like Kakashi ma? Ah Ma version la...hahaha

this one looks rather like Shino

this one leh...umm...don't know wor...

overgrown baby

crying overgrown baby

The artists...

It wasn't until almost 12p.m. that we finally decided to leave... luckily the sales persons didn't really mind us playing there...haha

Part 2 will be the cooking spaghetti part... wait i get the pics first XD
