pictures speak better than words.
Bon Apetit: FUYOH. how bloggers like Xiaxue and friends take a million pics AND edit AND photoshop them on a daily basis i'll never know.
..........
As promised, pics from my getaway to KL and Singapore.
Sorry the pics aren't that good la. I'm a lousy photographer.
And i ain't got no Photoshopping skills. I don't even have the program.
Doubt i'll even have the patience to learn how to Photoshop anyways.

At Hilton KL
The entrance to our room. Simple, yet grand.
My favourite part of the room!
You can watch TV while relaxing in the tub :)Spent 2 hours soaking in the tub till 12am later that night.
the Plasma TV with an amusing wood thing at the top.and that's my Daddy.
Still running his business even when he's on a holiday.
Random channel.
That's Daddy the Diva again.
I think he's trying to get into every shot.
Beautiful view from our room to my habitat. (I meant the pool, not the trees.)
Waiting for Daddy & Mummy to shower before going for dinner.
Buffet dinner at Hilton's Sudu.
Mouthwatering desserts!!!
Tell me you can look at these and NOT want to eat them.
Ate like a monster. BUT with manners, of course. haha.
Every child dreams of a chocolate fountain.
Best dessert of the night goes to the orgasmic
Green Tea Cheese Cake.HANDS DOWN, BABY!
I'm such a sucker for green tea.
They had awesome kiwi ice-cream too. Brainfreeze!
Satisfied tummies.
Ho ho ho!
After dinner, we went for a stroll at the poolside.
This is MAD COOL!
I'm so getting one for my room when we move to our new house.
View of the pool at night.
So pretty, isn't it?
Got hungry again later that night so we went downstairs to the lobby to get something to eat.
Pies and pastries are my absolute weakness.
Look at all these sinfully delicious delight!!!
Was a bit too sweet but delish all the same.
Picstachio-flavoured macaroon! the pink one is raspberry. the yellow one was lemon.
Unfortunately, it was already halfway down my digestive tract.
My mum has this habit of over-buying.
Bought so much dessert which included tarts and cakes and pastries at 12am++ and when we got back to the room, she didn't want to eat them anymore.
So i finished them all. Felt like an overstuffed turkey after that.
In Genting.
*ps not many pics taken here. was feeling too lazy.
Buffet dinner. Look at the size of the bowl!!!
I tell you all the little kids were HOARDING that section of the buffet.I had to squeeze my way through the army of kids to get to the mint ice-cream.
Oregano bagel from Bakery. My snack while i was blogging my last last post.
Sorry :D had to try it out.
my first time using a face mask.
As you can see, it's very VERY uneven.
my dad saw it and was like "Dear you better teach your daughter how to use a facemask!!"
So i replied indignantly, "Whattt. I'm a face mask virgin okay."
In Singapore.
Blueberries in a blue cup.
This was what i was doing while the whole world was mourning Michael Jackson's death.
My second time using a face mask.
Tribute to MJ's Thriller.
Do i NOT look like him in the video???
We had such an awesome time. Besides the fact that every channel had MJ's face on it.
Largest towel i've ever seen in my life. Even sumos can use it as a towel.
Oh and that's my Mummy btw. haha :)
Singapore Land of the Kiasu. Everything has to be extra, with a capital X.
Bought truckloads of chocolates at Changi Airport.
They even have Tatty Teddy chocolates!
Which my mum said 'Aiya cheat little kids one la."
*cough*
Being a good model citizen in the wake of H1N1.
Exhausted.
Finally on the plane back to kch.
Home sweet home.
****
The End.
I'm getting cross-eyed already.
Photo entries will be a once in a full moon thing from now on.
2:09 PM
i should be on my way to macau by now.
Bon Apetit: Woke up this morning with itching eyelids so i scratched them and when i came out from my room my aunt and parents were like O.O what happened to your eyes?? peeked in the mirror and heck. my eyelids are flaming red and swollen. i look like Aku from Samurai Jack.
.....................
Ho hum.
It's 10.20am and i should have been in the plane to Macau an hour and 20 minutes ago.
But here i am, at home, in front of my com and cooking up a huge pot of barley in the kitchen.
After coming back from Singapore 2 nights ago, felt very exhausted.
Just thinking about going to Macau made me squirm.
So my parents gave me a choice. and i decided to sit this trip out.
And Airasia wouldn't let us postpone the trip. even with the Swine Flu reason.
So no refunds.
The whole of yesterday my mum kept giving me the -.- look. was damn funny.
And she kept going 'You see, you were the one who kept bugging me to bring you go Macau so i booked the flight and now you don't want to go. I'm stuck with your daddy for 6 days la.'
So sweet :)
This morning i was woken up by a 'Ni hen huai tan.' by my mum.
She said 'Just go laa. Go bath fast fast. Don't need to pack anything. Just go Macau and buy.'
And i was thinking 'Hmm..a good reason to shop up a new wardrobe!'
So i had a sudden urge to just go. and then i decided not to go. So i said i didn't want to go.
Then i wanted to go again.
So the whole morning i was like Go. Don't go. Go. Don't go. Go. Don't go.
Even after my parents left for the airport in my mind i was still Go. Don't go. Go. Don't go.
Even when i was sitting on my toilet bowl taking my morning crap i was still Go. Don't go. Go. Don't go.
I actually got up from my toilet halfway to reach for my phone to call my parents to help me check in first.
Then decided not to.
So here i am.
*sigh*
Oh well, on the bright side, i now want to go to Thailand!

can i go home now?
Bon Appetit: FINALLY a chance to go online. after 5 whole days. this will be a short post. Will update more when i get back home.
...............
On location in Genting now at Bakery :)
I LOOOOVE Bakery! they have the awesomest buns and sandwiches and danishes and tarts EVER!!
Argh i want to go home.
Been in KL since friday. took my IELTS on saturday and ISAT on monday.
IELTS was pretty easy. hopefully i get a band score of 8 or 9 :D
I really liked the Speaking part. my tester was a lady and she is soooo nice! I could talk to her ALL DAY!!
Didn't know i had a limited time to talk either. I was babbling on and on and on until she suddenly said "okay thank you. your time is up." and gave a super pleasant smile.
but ISAT omgs. i thought it was a 1 hour paper and when i entered the room, on the board it was written 3 hours!!!
3 hours for 100 objective questions.
i thought it was going to be easy peesy but MAN was i wrong.
it's MOFO HARD!!!
it's not even an english paper! it's like freakin IQ questions.
When i saw it was a 3 hour paper my brain already withered before you can say i.
Had no mood at all to do the paper. my brain was barely functioning.
*Please do not let me fail*
Stayed at Hilton KL for 4 days. i loove it there!
And i saw Lim Kok Wing there too. lool! he has a very....umm...distinctive face.
Will be going down to Singapore tomorrow morning.
Which means i'll have to wake up early. blast it.
And i can't believe i'm saying this but i'm actually sick of shopping.
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!!!!
After going back this Saturday, i'm off to Macau on Tuesday.
Sickkk. So tiring.
PLUS there's the first case of H1N1 in Macau today.
Please friends, when i geet back from Macau, DO NOT treat me like a disease okay?
Don't isolate me.
Isolate or be isolated.
I don't know it was random.
ps: I can't believe how much i can miss my baby Dinky. He's all i can think about everyday and not being able to see him is KILLING me. today's the first day in 5 days i'm seeing him. I'll be spending my whole day with him!!!!
pps: Dinky is not a boyfriend. he's my baby dragon from fb la ok.
i bought him a new habitat and lots and lots of toys :)

Bon Apetit: I'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow for KL then sg for THE GREAT SINGAPORE SALE! once again :)
............................
Bet you thought i failed my driving test eyy??
Since i didn't blog for 3 days.
BUTTTTTTTT.....no i didn't.
hiahah, i passed :)
just being modest. *heehee*
While driving on the road with the pegawai by my side i was thinking to myself: "Oh wowee i'm SOO COOL!!!" cos i could change gears.
I still find driving manual cars cool cos of the changing gear part.
Ever since i was little whenever i sat in a manual car i always find the driver SUPERLY AWESOME COOL because they could change gears.
I have fulfilled my childhood dream of being one of those drivers i used to see being able to change gears every few seconds. *bliss*
yay :)
and now i'm not a reject anymore.
I CAN DRIVE, PEOPLE!!!!!
2 years too late but still, the point is:
I CAN DRIVE.
SAYA BOLEH MEMANDU.
WO HUI JIA CHER.
AH PU NEH NEH.

tomorrow.
Bon Apetit: My dad and i spent half an hour trying to catch this particular lizard in my house which keeps pooping in the SAME SPOT for the past year. My dad finally got sick of cleaning up after it every morning and decided to kill catch it. using a plastic bag. he succeeded. APPLAUSE!
.................
I'm having my driving exam tomorrow.
*scream*
Please, OH PLEASE, God of Driving, let me pass my exam tomorrow and i shall be the best driver i can be.
No road raging, no road bullying AND no driving above the speed limit.
And i'll always remember to strap on my safety belt.
And adjust my mirrors.
Heck, i'll even make sure all 4 of my tyres have optimum air in them before each drive.
9:36 PM

Bon Apetit: Shieeet. Now i've got fever too. feel damn hot (and it's not in a sexy way.) i feel awful i just want to drop dead.
.............
Took a nap this afternoon in my parents' bedroom cos every other room in the house was occupied.
Oh here i should probably mention that while i was away my sis has taken over my bedroom so now i'm sleeping in the guestroom downstairs.
Had a very random dream.
i dreamt that there was a small square hole on the ceiling of my parents' bedroom and it was covered with a net to prevent stuff from getting in.
I was looking at the hole in the ceiling and a turkey walked by on the roof.
Suddenly the turkey's leg started probing the net and it sat on it.
And because the turkey was so damn fat and heavy, the net gave way and the turkey fell through the ceiling.
I ran out of the room and screamed for my daddy.
He ran upstairs, picked up the frantic turkey and started yelling at me and pointing at stuff on the floor.
"You see!!! why are YOU always leaving these around???"
And i was soo confused cos he was pointing to the turkey feathers on the floor and i was thinking "Since when did i leave turkey feathers around the house?!?!?"
And then i woke up with a strong craving for turkey.
And Christmas is 6 months away.
8:46 PM
cute.
Bon Apetit: Back from climbing Mt Singai 2 hours ago. It wasn't that bad. Barely broke a sweat. *gives smug grin* i am FIT.
...................
I'm down with a running nose and bad sorethroat.
Was breathing through one nostril the entire day. still am.
Using up lots and lots of tissues thanks to my leaking nose.
i think i just lost my brother in a pile of Kleenex.
My eyes feel like deadweights.
Time to hit the shower and then get a good sleep.
Anyways, here's a little something i found on the Net last night.
A little 'awww' moment. enjoy! :)
Sorry if the pic is a little bit too small to read the text.
SQUINT.
*shall blog about my mountain climbing after i sleep. or tomorrow. the meds are making me very VERY drowsy right now. bother.

i love rejects.
Bon Apetit: Ahhmazingly i'll be attempting to waking up at 7am tomorrow to go climb a 'smaller-than-a-mountain-but-bigger-than-a-hill'. hopefully i'm still fit enough. rolling downhill is absolutely no problem - it's the uphill.
.....................
Watched The All-American Rejects' new video When the Wind Blows on MTV today.
Oh am gees it is sooo good. the entire album is great actually.
Love it love it love it.
And suddenly i remember my SUPER CRAZY SCHOOLGIRL CRUSH i had on ♥Tyson Ritter♥ ie the lead singer of American Rejects back when i was around 12 or 13.
The first time i saw him i was like 'who the *#(@&% is THIS hottie???'
Immediately went to Google him and found out his name which to me at that time was THE MOST beautiful name in the world.
Got mad obsessed about him for the next 3 years or so.
I knew his full name, his birthday, where he stayed, how the band started, who his best friends were etc etc.
Googled EVERY SINGLE PICTURE i could find of ♥Tyson Ritter♥ on the net and printed them all out until my printer ran out of ink and had to be refilled every 2 weeks.
Filed my awesome collection of ♥Tyson Ritter♥ pictures neatly into clear holders.
Ranted on and on about ♥Tyson Ritter♥ to my bestie Joanny every single day until her ears bled.
Babbled some more about ♥Tyson Ritter♥ in my diary because nobody else wanted to hear.
Twitter wasn't invented then but if it was you betcha i would be the first to tweet him. (is that even a word.)
Shieettt. i was a freaking stalker.
But then as time went on, i slowly started to lose interest in him. (hello hollywood grows pretty boys faster than humans shed hair)
AND THEN Dirty Little Secret came out.
i mean, DID YOU WATCH the video???
His impossible blue eyes are enough to make STRAIGHT guys gay.
That renewed my love for him...again.
but this time i was much less stalker-ish.
Over the years American Rejects have remained as one of my favourite bands of all times - and they still are.
Although Tyson Ritter has evolved into a..umm...how should i say...dirty-looking man?
But there's still something about him that i find HOT which i have no idea what. because if you've seen him lately it's NOT his looks.
Maybe his playfulness and boyishness? *blush*
And his voice is still super sexy and easy on the ears.
Still love the band, the songs, the guys in it.
Yup, i'm definitely still a fan of the All-American Rejects :)
ps: i don't have my files full of his pics anymore. no idea what happened to them.
pps: i am NOT a stalker.

home schweeet home
Bon Apetit: Rest, relax, fun, infinite food. Ahhh, this IS the life. Time for some lovin' yo!
.........................
Ding dong.
I'm home!!!
FOR 2 MONTHS!!!
Wanted to blog yesterday but was too tired too.
Plus my bro was hogging me all day. he was practically glued to me side!
My mind was all about Facebook but i spent the entire afternoon (AND night) playing Life and Upwords with him. and Bionicle the rest of the night.
although i have NO IDEA what he's talking about. i don't speak Bionicle.
with all the Tahu and Piraka and weird weapon names. kept bursting out laughing.
waaaw.
the last 2 days were just exhausting.
had sooo much stuff to pack as you can imagine living in that one place for one and a half years.
and i did it all in ONE night. *clap clap clap*
okay fine, i only packed my clothes. WHICH is like already 2/3 of the job done alright.
i shall deal with the mountain of books and papers and other shits when i go back down on the 19th. don't want to think about it now.
after much stuffing and squeezing and squishing....
TADA!
all nicely packed and ready to be transported outta there.
AND. guess which bag contains clothes i actually wear.
the irony.
handcarried baby Patches (of course) and a smaller luggage bag.
Being subjected to bully. Patches looks like a balloon!
ack almost died dragging the stewpid bag up and down the stairs.
but josh was having a much tougher time so i wasn't complaining.
i did offer helping him carry his stuff but he kept saying they were all super heavy.
*
me: Want me to help you carry this?
josh: siao behh. so heavy!
me: this?
josh: heavy!
me: this?
josh: heavy la!
me: -.- okay what about i carry you cos you're the lightest among everything else here.
*
i hate going to airports especially when it's jam packed with humans. with all the germs and bacteria just oozing mad all over the place.
almost dropped dead dragging my luggage bag up the stairs to the plane. my top was flying like a freaking parachute and my hair was all over the place.
finally reached my seat, squeezed past the guy next to me and plopped onto the seat.
i must have looked REALLY crazy then because the both guys sitting on my left and right were staring at me like i was susan boyle on the loose with a huge teddy and a handbag and a large black plastic bag on my lap blocking my view of everything.
White Sideburns, the guy on my right, was kind enough to say "Do you want to put it upstairs?" (and by upstairs he meant the luggage compartment)
I cannot tell you how grateful i was at that moment but i was soo exhausted i could only muffle a "Oh yes please." from behind the plastic bag covering my face.
So he got up, took the large bag and placed it in the compartment.
finally being able to get a breath of airplane air (which is oh so sickening) i said 'Thank you very very much!' and flashed him a megawatt smile.
He smiled and sat back down.
Looked at my right and it was Misunderstood Paikia.
Gave him a smile and he nodded back. everything about him screamed pai kia.
and omgees i MUST tell you about his RING.
it was super thick and gold-coloured and in the middle was a mega-assed round red crystal.
it was SOOO huge it makes Whoopi Goldberg's eyes look like atoms.
i bet the ring can even qualify as a Malaysian Permanent Resident.
and because of the H5N1 rampage, we had to fill in health forms in the plane.
i didn't have a pen with me so i KINDLY asked White Sideburns if he had one. he pulled one out of his pocket and let me fill mine in first.
Misunderstood Paikia was filling his in halfway then he stopped to look at mine. either he filled it in wrongly or he copied my answers but he asked for a new card and re-filled it.
I returned the pen to White Sideburns and thanked him and then i realised i didn't finish filling it in. but Misunderstood Paikia was nice enough to lend me his.
That TOTALLY makes me, White Sideburns and Misunderstood Paikia pen pals.
GEDDIT? pen pals? like PEN pals?
looooool!
argh. soo full of keh neng koh now. oh man i suck in pin yin. doubt any of you would even know what it is. oh ya it's kuih bahulu in bm.
i just surprised myself. my bm skills are still intact!
okayyy i'ma stop here for now.
going off to fb hehe. didn't touch it at ALL yesterday. not like i had a chance to anyways.
need to clean and tickle and play with my dragon. he's so totally covered in his own poop.
thanks, superman.
