Smooch The Bone

Flowers from Lover boy / It's going down in history :)

2012-02-10T08:41:00.000+08:00

I've got early Valentine's Day flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the screaming will never end)

Okay. Stopped. Gotta blog, right?

Story goes like this. I was done chatting with Joe at about 4.30pm yesterday(9th) since I chased him to either study or sleep. I went on Googling random things like Leo Club's Youth Camp and Exchange Program, vacancies..bla bla.

At 4.46pm, there was a phone call. I decided to ignore it since I have this thing about not answering unknown phone calls. I figured if you really need to get to me, you'd text after several missed calls. Second time it rang. Okayyy okayyy..I picked it up.

Some Malay man with a very noisy background introduced he's from somewhere, which I heard as buruh(labourer) and asked if I'm Naomi. I said yes, and he continued by confirming with me my address. I was kinda creeped out at that moment, thinking how he knew my name and house address. He then asked if I'm at work or at home. I was like.."crap, should I hang up?" But I said no, I'm not working. And he ended by telling me to wait at home. I was like..."uh? oh..okay." but before hanging up, I asked him again what this was for..and he said something something hand bouquet. *hang up*

I was kinda excited but creeped out at the same time. More creepy than happy, actually. I bugged Michelle to company me to the hall as dad and mum was napping in their room. I went to the living room with cold hands.lmao I knowww I knowww..I get cold hands very easily, okay?

The man arrived and I went out to receive the flowers. Oh! Before the man arrived, Michelle and I were guessing who'd send me flowers. I kinda chilled thinking it must be one of my good friends since well, only they have my address and they read my blog. Joe did came up in our heads too, but I thought, "Nah..as much as I wish it's him, I don't think so..", but I texted him on FB Messenger anyway.

Conversation went like this:
Me: Babe. You didn't send me any flowers right?
Joe: What makes you ask that? I'm not that nice
Me: I just got flowers
Joe: From who?
Me: Red roses *sends a picture* I don't know from who..the card says To: Nay-o-mee I couldn't wait a whole week From: Your secret admirer
Joe: Well it is that time of the year
Me: I'm thinking it's one of my friends cz only a few knows my address
Joe: Well I must say that shop does good work [I didn't sense anything fishy!]
Me: And on the receipt it says to Naomi Mentzer
Joe: Your blog says you wanted flowers
Me: Yeah, but only you, Gup, Char, Meat and about 4 other girl friends have my address. Michelle thought it was you surprising me.lol I was secretly hoping too.. [hoping like mad that it's him]
Joe: That's crazy talk
Me: Haha!
Joe: Okay my face hurts now [Omg! Seems like it's him! Pleaseee please be true]
Me: Why?
Joe: The smiling [!!!]
Me: Yeah, I secretly hope you gave me flowers?lol [I have to confirm!]
Joe: Yeah did you get the cookies too? [HSKJFGFUIhflUIEFUJHBFHFYR!!!!]
Me: OMG!! WHAT ON EARTH?!! Okay, I'm really gna cry now

I Skyped with him after that. According to him, he as waiting for my text while keeping track of the time as he stated it should be delivered between 5-7pm, the best time if I was at school :)

I was hoping it was him because 1)It'll be the sweetest thing everrrr! 2)If it's some random dude, it's creepy.

Before he admitted being the sender, while we were still guessing, I even told Michelle he's the only one that pronounces my name as Nay-o-mee, my proper pronunciation of my name. Andddd I was right!

!!!!! My FIRST FIRST FIRST!

I've always thought my first bouquet would be the first time I meet him in person.. if I go there, he'll be waiting for me with flowers at the airport. If he comes, somehow he'll get me flowers la.

But...I guess not! :D *jumps around*

He Googled and found a florist in Johor Jaya. Yup, he bought it online.hehe

the biggest clue! :)

It came with 10 stalk of roses and 3 cushion hearts :D

....andddd Famous Amos cookies!!!!! How on Earth did he know I love them? This is so acceptable!

Uh huh! They're real flowers *happy tears*

Hey, tater tot! Thanks for these flowers. You have no idea how I felt when I confirmed it was from you. Yeah yeah, so you made me cry twice or thrice..but shhhh.. Anyway, you win this round..or all the rounds for this whole month. Just because you made melt. I mean, you always make me melt with your words, but this time I have pretty red roses to accompany me! Now it's my turn to think of something this awesome. I'm screwed. Blame it on me not being a left hander XD But yes, thanks a lot a lot. It means a lot to me, YOU mean the world to me. Well, I don't plan on tearing up again, so.....THANKS, CRAZY MONKEY! I LOOOOOOOOVE YOU! There! right smack on my blog! Just letting the whole world know ;) Yeah, you like that.haha

I know the moment we finally meet will be 10000000000X awesomer than this, I just know it. Thanks for being the best and the greatest! Muahhh! :*

*music plays* Baby, you light up my world like nobody else.. okay, only that line is appropriate for a guy. One Direction, you're sexist!LOL

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY (4 days in advance), BABY!

...and all of you who's celebrating..or not! :)

Mummy's birthday

2012-02-09T12:56:00.000+08:00

Mummy's birthday this year fell on the 5th day of Chinese New Year. Yup, dad and mum's birthday is 5 days apart!

Didn't know she was capable of acting cute! XD

Mum celebrated her 50th birthday this year...at home! As usual. Hey, three of us treated dad and mum to dinner on CNY, remember?

Reason why she got that chocolate pudding cake instead of a fancy one was because mum is the type of person where she doesn't appreciate fancy, pricier food, clothes, make up, bags, everything. She likes sponge cakes more than the yummy cakes at Secret Recipe.

So, why not? Since we got her a pricier present and dinner, we bought that cake and some fruit tarts to balance up our expenditure :P

Dad giving some talk <_<

Dad's very much like his mum. He wants to pray, but ask everyone else to do it, only to have us tell him to just pray already.

Somehow even before mum got her present, she started tearing up already! Dad asked her why, and she said because we're good kids.. Errr... Ma, it's a bit irrelevant.

And then! It's the most awaited moment!

Mum thought we weren't getting her any gifts since we spent some money on her dinner. Actually, it was a very very last minute thing. On her birthday morning itself, when she was out, Michelle, Reb and I rushed to Aeon Bukit Indah to get her present. Dad chipped in too.

Tadahhh! Gold and white gold earrings!

That's something a little more special for her 50th birthday!

Dad's turning 50 next year, Michelle have to start planning now!

I took offence

2012-02-07T22:00:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile since I decorated my table in class. We have this thing about decorating our own tables for fun. The last time I did that was in Form 4. Didn't had time in Form 5 and Lower Six, we started school in the middle of the year, therefore, no point.

This year, I developed some photos and Michelle made made this for me!

As expected, the 3 photos, no, more like the 2 solo picture of him. Some curious looks at it, no biggie. Some "Awwwww"s, no biggie. Some "so cute lahhhh", nope, no biggie.

But what makes me go like this...

...is when it earned itself too many seconds of staring than acceptable. I only give you an average of 5 seconds, by the way. More than that is 1)Creepy 2)Are you plotting a kidnapping plan?

I know he's nice to look at, but hello, it's MY boyfriend you're oogling at. You, as a female, should know the rules. The one where at a certain point, even the most gentle and soft spoken girl will turn into a carnivorous beast and you know your head might roll very soon...I mean, swallowed.

Okay, so let me get straight to the point. A particular classmate of mine stared at MY boyfriend('s picture) for close to two minutes. Without blinking.

Maybe I'm exaggerating. But yeah, close to more than a minute. That started to make me feel uncomfortable. I joked and said "Eh, apa ni? Tahulah handsome..you're freaking me out", took my pencil case and place it over his face. Done. She laugh and left.

I voiced my concerns to Gup and Char in private and yup, they noticed it too. Whatever. I'll just cover his face whenever she comes by.

Case closed.

Not.

What happened? Today, browsing through the Facebook News Feed on my phone, I stumbled on a 3-hours-ago status update by her.

What she wrote made me have all my guards up and I got pretty pissed. Almost furious on the grumpy-o-meter.

It was in Malay, something along the lines of "..even the smartest girl in school(I think she meant class=.=") has a boyfriend. I'm jealous" Out of curiosity, I opened to read the comments. A friend of hers asked who she was referring to. Her answer- A chinese girl.

Why was I so sure she was talking about me? Simple. There's only 2 Chinese girls in my class- Charmaine and myself. And she only knows I have a boyfriend. A hot and cute one.

Yup, exactly how it was in my head

There's plenty other girls in class which have boyfriends. Why was she jealous of me? Because I'm the so-called smartest girl in class? Nope, I don't think I am. Gup is.LOL Well okay, even if I am, what, smart girls are not supposed to have boyfriends? Wth? Because she's attracted to him because he's good looking and he's white and rare? Most probably.

Knowing briefly of her scandalous two timing ways, it somehow linked with whatever that's going on in my head.

I know I may be over reacting, but you would too, if you were facing the same situation as I was. I had the whatever you call on-my-guard mode like how females would get all fierce and protective over their young ones. Yup, another example of that would be the "back off look" we girls give to other girls when we're with our guys. Guys will probably never know because we're at a certain frequency. Girls will understand the waves.

I had the sudden thoughts of her being all lovey-dovey like I would, to him. Talking all day, giving virtual kisses, flirting... you get the picture. Nope, that's not gonna happen. That's because 1)It's disgusting 2)I won't let that happen. If it takes me to get His Majesty to get her head rolling, I'm doing it(Okay, sorry, too much of Michelle's favourite China dramas) 3)He assures me she's just jealous, nothing more.

I don't know of your latest juicy stories on your scandalous relationships and I don't want to know either. I'm not interested and I hope you'd stop stepping on my toes with your eyes on my guy. If you think he's cute and we're sweet together, thank you. If you didn't mean anything by your suspicious gestures, please understand, I have dagger blood, just like every other females.lolol

So yes, I take a step back and am going to remove his photos from my table..for my viewing pleasure(gosh, this sounds wrong) when I'm bored or thinking of him. You shall not oogle at him anymore. Or trust me, you're dead meat.

I like chicken jerky. Time for a new flavour?

ps: you should know why you can't find me on Facebook anymore, by the way.

CNY Week / I hear fireworks!

2012-02-05T00:01:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year isn't over yet, so it's not too late to say "HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!"

This year's CNY falls on my dad's birthday, so it was a little special. But first off, check out my CNY bedsheets!! Michelle paid for it first so dad can buy it as my advance birthday gift:) It was on sale in Jusco. From RM200+ became RM45!!

Bugs Bunny, Garfield, Woody. Best bed ever!

We headed over to Ah Ma and Ah Kong(mum's parents)'s house for lunch. The dishes have been the same for years, but I'm never tired of it. It's just soooooo delicious!

Grandparent's wedding photo :)

I like my hair at that length! This was taken during my cousin's wedding.

Introducing the most looked forward to lunch of the yearrrrrr...*drum rolls*

Everyone's favourite braised duck!

Ah Kong buys the braised duck every year. What makes it so special that we can't get the exact same taste elsewhere(even the shop he bought it from) is that he'll recook it, adding his secret ingredients. The leftovers will be recooked AGAIN for the next day, which is always the best!

Michelle's favourite brocolli.

Prawns

Mum's famous chicken curry which once used to be my favourite. Too much of something isn't good, as they say XD

After lunch, it was just hanging around talking, eating cookies and of course, photos!!

Chai Zheng(my cousin), Shi Ni(his wife) and baby Iris!

...andddd our favourite uncle!!! We call him ah ku :)

Happy babies are the cutest!

My youngest cousin, Yu Juin did some kung fu pose when we were playing with her :/

"Woah, chill man.."

After hanging around, it was time to drop by grandma's house. The very solemn house. Nope, not because my grandfather isn't around anymore, but it has always been like that, whether there's many people in the house or not.

Ah Kong's house is always the noisy and very joyous one, no matter the number of people. Love them like mad!

Grandma's house, however, has good spots with good lightings.heh

mum told me to delete this photo cuz there's a hole in my head :/

My CNY dress! Nice nice? :D

Momma!

We always have the same spot and same positions every.single.year.LOL

Mum insisted on taking a picture with the fake cherry blossoms(Chinese version) flowers. haha

As I've mentioned, it's my daddy's birthday!! And mum's is 5 days away, so we booked a table at AnMour Cafe at Sutera Utama. Read the review on it here! They're an American-themed restaurant. Too bad instead of ordering some American-ish food, they only had 4 set meal choices for the CNY period.

The birthday babies <_<

Our drinks- Ice Lemon Tea and F&N Orange Juice

Surprisingly delicious bun. Probably because it's really soft and the sauce that came with it was yummy!!

We could eat the plain buns all night!..okay, maybe not.

A very small pathetic-looking salad. It was, however, as the saying goes 'looks can be deceiving'. It was good. The raspberry sauce was heaven!

Homemade mushroom soup with nice crunchy garlic bread

I got Fish & Chips, afraid of not being able to finish the Chicken Cordon Bleu I wanted

Mum must've really like their pasta! She dislikes pastas the most, but she had it wiped out within minutes!

Vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup as desert :)

Lastly, on the third day of CNY, I went out with Meat and Pei Li!! Unlike my other friends(..and most people), they have hometowns to go back to. But as for me, both my parents' families are in JB. Only 20minutes away from my house. How boring can that be, eh?

I'm jealous about the fact that they get to go to KL or Malacca or anywhere else other than JB. I planned on meeting FFC members during this one week holiday, but it's understandable that everyone might not be free on the same day. Hence, I only managed to fish Meat and Devil out for an afternoon. Well, better than none, no?

We went to catch the movie, Contraband. It was good! The movie is all about the Mark Wahlberg guy being the brother-in-law that used to be a professional smuggler. His wife's brother is stupid and got into trouble, so Chris Farraday(Wahlberg) had to go back to his smuggling business to save his ass.

We had lunch at this Japanese restaurant, NipponYatai Mura II. If you're looking for it, it's the shop with the big Pikachu picture, next to a DVD shop in Innercity 3rd Floor.

I shared Seafood Fried Rice with Meat since it was rather pricey and I was too full with popcorns.lol But sad to say, it wasn't enough for two people :/ It's my first time there, so I was scared if the food didn't taste good, and there goes my money.

RM22 for this. It is reaaaaally good though! Been craving for days after that!

and this is Pei Li's Shoyu Ramen.

It really felt good to hangout and talk to Meat and Pei Li. It seems like it's been FOREVER! That's not very nice :( Guess that super comfortable-I-can-be-totally-myself state is very hard to appear. I miss FFC kiddos soooo much! Our timings always clash, hence, no meeting up with each other. We SO need to talk, people!

Chap Goh Mei is in two days time, at least I managed to finish up my post on the 8th day of CNY! So long, slackers!

My 19th Birthday List

2012-01-24T13:05:00.001+08:00

MY 19TH BIRTHDAY IS COMING!!!..in exactly 37 days!

I've blogged a few wish lists in the past, and no doubt, they were crap.LOL This birthday, I'll make it easy for you(whoever thinking of getting me something).heh

I want:

1) A birthday card [Cheapest!]
Okay, maybe it's not exactly the cheapest, but it is if you buy it! However, if you make one for me instead...it'd be priceless! So, choose your price!;)

2) Foot spa/Pedicure treat! [Pretty cheap if you got lucky;)]
I'm in need of a good foot spa. You don't have to bring me out, though it'll obviously be better that we go together like a girls' day out..but I was thinking more discounted coupons you can get me from sites like Everyday.com.my or Groupon. Great deals there! *wink wink* Make sure it's in JB though!

3) Charm Bracelet [Reasonably priced for a plain bracelet and one charm]
I've always wanted a charm bracelet, one that charms isn't already fixed to the chain. Reason is, I like when I get to add on charms with special meanings one by one:D I wouldn't mind if it's this brassy kind or the silvery kind. Both works:)

4) Something travel-themed [Price differs]
Who doesn't like the 'I Heart NY' t-shirt? Even though it's just a basic white tee with that overuse print, IT'S STILL AWESOMEEE! Well, no, I don't want that t-shirt. Okay, if you were gonna get one of those for me, get 'I Heart MN' ;)

Love this room, especially the pillows!!!!!!!

5) Cardigan [Quite pricey <_<]
I'm really in need of one. My favourite long black one has been overused, it's faded :'( I might want a short one this time round, as in not cropped, but falls just nice at my hip. Nono, maybe a long one will do because I realise the short one isn't flattering for my butt. I wear darker shades of clothing, so yeah.. I wear colours, but nothing that POP!

longer cardigan :)

6) Flowers! [I'm not too sure about the price]
I've never gotten flowers! Yup, you read that right. I had this sudden want for flowers after last Saturday where I was handling the carnation flowers to be given to out headmistress that moved to another school. Not that I like carnation, but yeah..flowers :D

7) Him :) [Priceless]
...Actually, I lied in the bracket. It's about RM3000 to get him here, unless..you're too kind and would give him a round trip ticket instead, it'll be times two! But it'd be so priceless, I won't ever forget you :) And don't worry, I'm just asking for his plane tickets. Accommodation, food...I'll take care of it :D

Photo credits to Lauren Ratabel

Awesome tee

Yep, that's him :) My current favourite of him, by the way

I'm thinking twice on putting his photo here. But I'll put it up anyway :) Oh hey! I got his permission!:D

So, who's gonna get me stuffs?! XD

Songs of mine

2012-01-20T16:07:00.002+08:00

I had a sudden inspiration to blog when I heard Colbie Caillat's song on the radio this morning on my way to school.

We all have at least one song we can relate to, if not one in every situation. And here's a few songs that describes how I feel about my relationship and ones I can relate to. Basically, everything's related to the awesome relationship:)

[Fallin' For You- Colbie Caillat]
Before it all started, I obviously liked him first. After reconnecting on Facebook, one letter and months of chatting after he got back from basic training, he had a girlfriend. Broke up after a month but I'm not the kind who jumps right into a relationship after a break up, either sides. After about 4-5 months, I was in a dilemma, like the song.

[Say You Like Me- We The Kings]
I was secretly hoping he's the one singing this song when he hasn't liked me..yet. haha I'm cuckoo like that, yes. But don't you think it's so sweet if you like this guy and hoping he likes you back but singing that song in private while secretly knowing you like him..but hoping you'd say you like him..okay, I'm done. You should get the point by now.hah

[Jet Lag- Simple Plan]
Long distance relationship, very much like this song..except that the singer left for a short period of time, but my case is that no one left, we're just situated far apart. What I liked about this song was everything fit our situation, except the "5 more days and I'll be home" part. "You say good morning, when it's midnight.." IT FITS PERFECTLY!

[Beautiful Tonight- Westlife]
He thinks I'm beautiful and he tells me*curls up* Yeah, that's the perfect song to remember what he tells me. I always melt when listening to that song. "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction works too, but Westlife's more magical :D Imagine going for Westlife's concert and hearing that LIVE! Except that, he told me after the concert.lol but still!

[Summer Paradise- Simple Plan]
Someday, someday I'll see my favourite song at the moment come true. That is, when his trip here or my trip there ends. Awww...

[I'm Sexy and I Know It- LMFAO]
It's more of an inside joke thing, just think of this really cute white dude singing the song with the cheeky look on his face at the speedos part. Haha

There's more of course, but that's enough to be listed down :) So, what's your song?

Char The Whale

2012-01-18T07:34:00.000+08:00

Just to clarify things before you carry on reading this post, but I'm not as pervertic as I seem to be. I just think it's funny to make cards like this.LOL

Charmaine's birthday was on 12 January. We went out on the following Sunday instead since it was more convenient to go for lunch on Sundays.

Gup and I made this card for Char. We know she likes aztec, tribal, African inspired stuffs..but we couldn't afford a bag and couldn't find tops or any other things, what more within our budget. Yeah, there's always those woodeny bracelets, but it's too common and blah.

We got her black and white stripey top, I don't know how to describe, but it's halter neck, I'm not sure if it's the correct term, but she's suppose to tie the neck part into a side bow.

Take a look at the card we made!!!

Tried to print out an Aztec coin, but the paper was too glossy:(

I can explain myself before you start criticizing me!haha

1) Gold wording- Char has this thing about stroking anything, papers, books, whatever. It looks pervertic whenever she does it, but she just likes it.

2) Photo- She likes Donnie Yen, the IP Man man.LOL[head] Her favourite guy feature is hot sweat, as in hot guys that sweat, in her case..her crushes only, duh[body] She loves South Africa and everything tribal, since she's been there[legs from the Zulu tribe!LOL]

She loves whales and calls herself Char The Whale. That explains the whale logo at the bottom:)

Aztec prints for the back of the card!

We met up for lunch and headed for Secret Recipe since the Korean BBQ meal was expensive and we're poor souls.LOL

Birthday girl and a slice of her favourite Carrot Slice from us:)

My favourite black pepper chickens have been disappointing me lately :/

Oh! Gup's dory fish with lobster sauce was GOOOOOOD!

She had some Caribbean style fish

Halfway through our food, Gup handed her the present and card!

COMPARE the expressions

While reading our notes

...almost there..

Yup, that's what she does! Now you know.hahaha

Went around Tebrau City to waste time after that. Char had to go back earlier than us, so off she went! But Gup left awhile after too..so I was left alone. Oh, I found an awesome waiting spot! The bench between Esprit and G2000. Reason: Free WiFi!!

Waiting for Gup in MNG while she tried on some colourful jeans

Continued with church's 28th anniversary till 10+ after that. I almost doze off in church..was soooo sleepy! No pictures of that though! Didn't had the mood.

Damn laptop! No photoshop :(

Crap crap and just crap

2012-01-16T10:46:00.001+08:00

Here I am, in my school's library, doing NOTHING!

Okay, so maybe not really doing nothing.. I'm chatting with you-know-who, and..yeah.

Today turned out quite different from what I expected it to be, as in yesterday I thought it'd be all gloomy and bad since well, yesterday morning was just sad. And in the afternoon I went out with Gup and Char for Char's belated birthday outing, followed by church anniversary at night. I was exhausted!

Thought I wouldn't talk to him for a day at least, but OMG! I thought wrong! He texted me in the morning at 5am!..though I forced myself back to sleep at 4am(not by alarm, naturally I've been automatically waking up to just text before school))! He's not suppose to know, but I cried thinking whether to reply or not..cz I know if I reply, I'd be stuck! Decided to sleep back, but 5 mins passed and I thought if I don't reply, he's gonna be sad, mad, pissed and everything else? So I happily replied anyway:)

Basically, today I only came to school for the History presentation..not for the Sports Practice which is gna make me stay back till 6.45pm, or anything else.

Woke up, had eye bags which made me look horrid, my fringe was a disaster, forgot to apply moisturiser, I put on my shirt without the singlet, almost couldn't find the broadband, printer ran out of paper for my essay, STAYING BACK IN SCHOOL TILL FREAKING 6.45PM!! I forgot I had assembly in the hall, sitting in the class nicely..but at least I got his text:)

My notes for presentation!

Guess what! The reason I came to school was for presentation, but teacher didn't come *face palm* thanks, teacher.

Andddd my laptop battery is gonna die on me, so I'll just full stop here.

Angry spells

2012-01-09T22:25:00.001+08:00

It's the first Monday since school reopened. It's a little odd that school started on last Wednesday instead of the usual Mondays. Not that I'm complaining, at least it didn't start last Monday.

I haven't been updating much due to school, nothing to blog about and plain laziness. Nono, scrap that last reason. I wasn't LAZY, I was BUSY talking to you-know-who, most of the days :D

School started and I'm trying to get used to my schedule, but when he starts schooling too, our schedules are going to clash. But I know we'll work things out. I know it will :)

So, I'm just here to rant and make myself feel a tad bit better. Nothing much to read about, but yeah.

No doubt, school work has start piling up, not literally, but that's because I try to make sure I finish up everything in a day, rushing and fitting the works in any time gap in school if possible. I don't quite like bringing back my homeworks(though it's called HOMEwork), because that only means less or no sleep, rushing everything to not waste time and less concentration on him, duh!

I mean, ever since Form4, I've had this habit..I caught it from Irene, actually. She influenced me on jotting down every detail in my notebook and striking off done homeworks.heh

My Sejarah(History) assignment has started. Noooooo! I don't like it! There's an essay to compile and a PowerPoint presentation to create AND present. I'm not worried about the presentation, more sick and tired of writing heaps of essays. At least it's a group work, so that takes some burden off, a little.

After school today, I went to CIC, a Catholic church with Michelle and mum. Evonne's dad passed away. My condolences.

I was shocked when I got the news on Sunday and I did sympathize her. But when I went and hug her was when I felt so sad! It must be extremely hard for her and her family since there was no signs whatsoever, it was sudden. I know she's a really strong person though, knowing her character(though I wasn't extremely close with her) and seeing her putting up a strong front and not cry. I feel sorry for her lost.

Came back, I planned to finish up my homeworks and go without my midday rest, but after finishing my Microeconomics and looking for some articles for MUET Reading, I felt the need to sleep.lol I did try to start my Listening exercises, but my internet is soooo slowwwwww, the audio won't load. Ugh. Even now.

Left a few texts on Facebook Messenger, though I know he's with his dad's family and I shouldn't be such a prick.LOL I just had to, okay! I fell asleep with my phone next to me, waiting for that familiar sound to beep and wake me up from my half-asleepness. But, no.

I woke up a couple of times to something called Textaphrenia which, according to urbandictionary.com, it's 'thinking you've heard or felt a new text message vibration when there is no message', and Wikipedia says it's a mental disorder*face palm*So....False alarm!

I got up at 7.31pm, I don't like having alarms wake me up.heh I think I got enough of my nap, but somehow I feel so irritated. No particular reason, and no, I wasn't pissed that he didn't text back because I'm a very understanding girlfriend, you see.LOL Okay, maybe a little worried, but yeah.

Probably it's the unsettled homeworks I have. Unsettled business is not good. Woah, sounds so ghostly!

I think I need my dinner and I'll feel better. Sleep and eat is quite the best, don't you think? XD

On a lighter note, I'm gonna decorate my table soooooon! In class, that is. Haven't thought of how it should look, but let's just say these are a definite must-have :D

I know...I know..he's cute... Now, stop staring.

I hope he texts me tomorrow *fingers and toes crossed*

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'm super excited right now, and obviously before even reading this, just a glimpse of the first picture you'll already know why.haha

Yesterday during lunch, dad and mum came home from the bank and mum checked the letter box and passed me this!

Thing is, I heard the postman in the morning, but decided to ignore it since who would send me letter, right? And parcels need to be signed. I have yet to reply my Findland friend, so no letter from her. Sayaka sent me a package before and I just sent one back on the 19th, so obviously it wouldn't be her..So..oh well, it isn't for me.

BUT NO! I was wrong! Sayaka sent me something! It's bigger than a letter, but it didn't need to be signed!LOL

Seems like she didn't mind not receiving a letter or gift from her before sending me another one. How would I know? I checked and my package arrived at her place yesterday(28th), while she sent on the 24th. Christmas freaking eve!

Two presents and a card makes a happy me!:D

And mind you, the card is so pretty!!! Now I feel bad not buying her one, but making her one instead. And I know it's my own creativity bla, bla, bla..but no, it's NOT NICE!!! :(

It's cool because it's a Japanese Christmas..as in, it's a Christmas card but with the famous Japanese Sakura.. As for Malaysia, we don't have our Christmas card version. Nothing special about Sun and rain. Maybe they could design one of Santa eating durians.heh

...and it's freaking 3D! JUST LOOK AT IT!

I don't know is it some telepathy I never knew I had with her, but I sent her a Historical & Heritage Sites in Malaysia booklet, which I took from the Tourism Malaysia booth during LIMA, and look what she gave me!!

CREEEEEEPY, RIGHT?! hahaha At least now I know where I'll be going when I visit Japan;) Sayaka, if you're reading this, I'm bunking in at your place!! :P

I got a Hello Kitty notebook too! Awwww :')

Let me rant a bit about my postage problems. On the 19th, Mic and I went to the post office to post two parcels. The one to USA cost me RM225(without tax- RM180) and the one to Japan cost me RM80(RM64). They freaking taxed me 6%! Ugh!

Fine. That's not the point. Already charge me so much, fine la.. It's PosLaju aka EMS and both packages are supposed to reach within 3-5 days. Just nice before Christmas Eve! But no, I thought wrong.

The USA one was dispatched to USA on the 21st, fine. LA Customs held it till 26th. Wth? And I assume it's on it's way to the recipient. I hope. Gosh, the chocolates insideeeee! As for the Japan one, it reached Sayaka yesterday, 28th.

What took it so long? I don't know! Christmas holidays, maybe? I sent earlier, without interrupting your holidays lah! Too many Christmas season packages? Fine, a tad bit acceptable. But I paid so freaking much and expect you to deliver on time. But no! Thanks a lot. I trusted you! *heartbroken*

Sayaka sent on the eve of Christmas and I got it on the 4th day it was sent. Long live the Japanese postmen!...or post office or customs people! Michelle said "They're Japanese! They work like mad!" Yup, no doubt about that.

Christmas Day

After church, we went over to Ah Kong's house for the surprise lunch my uncle and aunts had planned for him!

Oh, this is the log cake mum bought :)

He was sooo happy when the long awaited log cake came home and we gave him the honours to cut the cake!haha The cake was bought by my cousin's wife, Shi Ni, mother of this little kid below!:)

She's gonna be a big sister soon!

Initially, it was supposed to be a big log cake. But there was some complications with the cake shop which kept postponing the time to collect the cake when they've actually ordered earlier.

We suspect they accidently sold off our cake.LOL So, a smaller log cake and marshmallows chocolate cake!:)

Trip to Singapore

On Monday, that is, we had a spontaneous trip to Singapore with Uncle Tommy, his wife, son and grandma.

They wanted to bring us to the Snow City next to the Science Center. Mic and I decided not to go in since it was quite costly and we were wearing shorts and didn't want to rent. We walked over to McDonalds' instead :P

Joseph, my 6 year old cousin. He's cute, but hyper.LOL

Went looking for food at Marina Bay Sands, but it was super crowded! So Uncle Tommy drove to Orchard Road since they wanted to see the lights too.

We ate at TANG's food court. Man, the Korean Street Snack stall... the scallops!!!! *drool*

Reb bought more scallops for us!! Weeeeeeeee!

I didn't take many photos because..I wasn't in the mood and you know, it's with grandma. Who wants to take pictures with her?=.="

Oh! They do! hahaha joking

Blog post marathon- DONE!

Merry Christmas!;)

2011-12-28T14:32:00.001+08:00

Stale Christmas post is here here!heh I've been recuperating after LIMA, hence, I've accumulated a few blog posts so I can bombard a few at once.

Okay, maybe not. Anywayyy, wanna see how I look without glasses? (it's rare but not like you haven't seen it before)

Tadahhh! Oooh! My lip gloss looks nice here..

Back with my glasses.

Enough of me and my spectacles.

So, this year, Christmas fell on a Sunday. And my church usually don't have the celebration on the day itself, but the Sunday before or after Christmas. That's probably because pastor wants that special day to be spent among families? Or maybe people would be too busy with their own programmes on that day itself. Therefore, we had our Christmas celebration on the 17th.

Christmas attire of the year!

I knoww, I knoww...I look as if I'm going for some really formal dinner event, but eh! Christmas celebrations in those Western countries are very formal and pretty and satinny okayyy! I just can't accept the fact that the people here always wear so casually or even so messily.

As soon as we arrived at church, it was all about fooooooooooood! The food wasn't Christmassy at all. I mean, yalah, since when was the buffet we ever had was Christmassy..no turkeys, no pies, no okay, you get the point.

No photos of the food, was too busy eating and there wasn't much to snap anyway.

Moving on, celebration was about to start, so up we went!

Michelle's friend, Joyce joined us this year, so we needed four seats and just nice, Pearly was with her friend and we didn't need to seat with strangers!

I hate it when my fringe parts like that!

Christmas carols:)

After singing a couple of songs, duh! It wouldn't be Christmassy if there weren't any Christmas songs.. It was drama time!! Some how this year's presentation wasn't really good and it was really short too.

Pearly's dad, Pastor David stalling some time for the youths to get ready

If you do remember, two years back, we had a musical kinda thing of the Nativity Scene(Modern version of Nativity Scene), which was really awesome! But last year, they got lazier a little..or just lack of ideas, but they managed to pull off Les Misérables(Vineyard's-musical version).

This year though, it's like the graph faced a deep plunge.lol It was a musical-like performance too.. No videos this time round. I did take a few short clips, but I'm just too lazy to switch laptops and use the Movie Maker software to combine and upload bla bla..

The story is basically about this man who was in debts to a loan shark, he decided to kidnap a girl whom he didn't know was ill with some expensive illness. After kidnapping, he called her parents only to find out they didn't want her anymore and gave her to him for free.

He felt so bad for the kid, so he ended up taking care of her instead. She told him about Christ along the way and when she grew up, she took care of this old man instead. As for the loan sharks, the police got hold of them, so he's free of debts again.lol

andddd..it was over! Pastor Tay gave a Christmas message before the night was over.

with spontaneous interpreter- Aunty Jennifer

As soon as the message was over, we rushed over to the white Christmas tree for photos!!! Honestly, I love and prefer the green ones. But, better than none!

Iris was sooo sweet! In case you didn't know, her mum- Aunty Teresa, is best with handmade gifts, soft toys and basically everything handmade! So, she gave me this small cute toy her mum made for Christmas and a packet of sweet in this pack! :D

The owl was given to kids, but Aunty Teresa told us to quickly grab one each :P Reb said the one Iris gave me is a lookalike toy from Boys Over Flowers..but I can't remember!lol

Gonna buy eyeshadow palettes to learn eye makeup! :D

I know it's kinda late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hey, there's 12 days of Christmas, mind you!

Nit turns 21

2011-12-28T14:10:00.001+08:00

Nithiyah, Michelle's best friend for years, invited us to her 21st birthday party at her house on Christmas eve! Her birthday is actually in March, but didn't had the time, so Christmas eve, it is!:)

Decorations at the mini stage area was done by themselves! The dress code was maroon and white, but as usual, how many will keep to the theme, right?

Loved what they did with the chandelier!

Balloony!

Initially, I thought the balloons were filled with helium gas since it was "floating", but Mic and Reb noticed it was stuck on using masking tape. Whoops!

And here comes the birthday girl, in a sexy red and black saree, bridal-like makeup and everything in between.. from the salon! She was a little late, but that's what you call being fashionably late, no?

Bling Bling

The party kicked start with the Birthday song! Since there were people leaving early, might as well get the cake cut first, right? Actually, I like the cake cutting first, it brings out the birthday mood and all..also because we'll get to leave early without missing out on the cake :P

We were Nit's right hand people, from placing the cake nicely to handing her tissues to taking photos!heh

HUGEEEE box of cake!

light up the candles on the pretty cake!

A princess and a doctor, two in one. Awesome!

Cake cutting time!

One of the best phocs, happy babies are the best!heh

Wonder what she wished for...considering the fact that it is her 21st birthday :P

If I'm not wrong, Indians have this tradition of feeding cake to elders and family members and basically anyone they respect or are close to..Correct me if I'm wrong or if you have something to add. I'm totally not sure about this tradition as only two years back at Narishma's birthday party was where I knew such thing existed.

Nit's parents :)

The one in gray is her sister, Lokini

Besties for..the 9th year this year? Holy cow!

More phocs!!

Don't you think it looks like her wedding instead?! :) Looks like her wedding's gonna be extravagant!

One of the best phocs too! Caught her in action :P

"Key" giving time! Does this really mean it's freeeeeeeedom? heheh Michelle didn't want a key pendant, but mum got her a small one anyway since my mum's still a tad bit traditional despite being modern and pretty open minded XD

It's quite princessy. We know Nit's all about princesses;)

Happy family :)

It was fireworks time and after that was foooooooooooood! Was starving by then! Glad I got to help out with the photo taking though :D

My camera can't take good firework shots :(

Look at that sibuk girl! =.="

Nasi Briyani, mutton, achar and some chicken

The mutton was gooooood! I love mutton or beef that isn't over cooked so it'll be easy to bite:D The red chickeny thing couldn't be Ayam Masak Merah... I don't know what it is, but it was yummy!! And of course, not forgetting SATAYYYY!

Nit was getting very panicky every now and then, and was pretty tension..like a bride, seriously!haha! But hey, everything turned out well, so no worries!;)

Wonder how my 21st birthday would be celebrated. I don't want the usual buy-cake-sing-birthday-song-among-the-five-of-us kinda thing..I want my friends and mum's side of the family! and you! If only you could come celebrate my 21st with me, I'd go berserk. Good berserk. haha!

ps: If you didn't get it, PHOCS= PHOTOS ;)

Lunch at Charlie Brown Cafe

2011-12-28T12:42:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, Tuesday, was the second day I've been to Singapore this week, and third this month. So, I planned to make a trip with Manmit to Singapore as it has been sooooo long since I saw her!

How can she even not miss me when I'm supposed to be her best friend? *sigh* Anyway, on Monday night she told me she couldn't make it as she had driving class:( I didn't reply because I was in Singapore with my uncle and family(post on that later), and I decided to go anyway since Michelle and Wawa was going too.

I was also supposed to meet up with Yen ShanShan for my KP-signed container thingy, but she slept through the entire time I was there.LOL But it's fine, not important. So, there I went with Mic and Wawa 313@Somerset, H&M and Bugis:)

We basically spent our whole day just window-shopping..to think that we didn't realise H&M store was right next to 313@Somerset and that Charlie Brown Cafe aka SNOOPY!!! was right next to H&M, in 313@Somerset=.="

We found our way around eventually.heh

Visiting this cafe has been on Michelle's wishlist for a while now, ever since she wanted to go to the one in Penang, but didn't manage to and the one in KL kept postponing its opening date. So, you bet she was freaking happy when we accompanied her here!

Just so you know, Charlie Brown Cafe is on the right hand side of H&M. If you're coming from the inside of the mall, Forever 21 on your left, walk straight into the food area, turn left, walk straight out the doors and you'll see an Irish Restaurant & Bar on your left. A couple of steps and the cafe would be right in front of you!

I just realised the initial table we sat at was #7!

Flicking through the menu..quite less selection, but good enough:)

Pancakes with different characters' faces!

To order, we have to write down our orders on this cute piece of order paper. Three times of the same word- order. I need Thesaurus' help, or maybe just my personal Thesaurus.haha

Oooh! I like this photo!:P

Hand that piece of paper in at the counter and your food is on its way! While waiting, we spent some time for photos!

MERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS! :D

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree..how lovely are my branches!

Aaaaand the food has arrived!!! Being hungry while I typed this, I'm feeling hungrier by the minute!

Michelle and I shared Beef Lasagne, Wawa's was the Hawaiian Baked Rice and all of us shared the Margherita Pizza! The pizza was pretty much tasteless, I think the one I had at Langkawi tasted better though this one obviously looks better. Even the pizza base tasted like cheap ones you can get from the supermarket.

My favourite- Beef lasagne! It is superrrrr goooood!

We ordered just a tad bit more than we could eat...as usual:P So, we helped each other polish up the food.heh

Helping out with Wawa's baked rice. This was good too!

Happy tummies!!

Lastly, we had pancakes!! With raspberry jam and whipped cream! and Linus' face!

Yeah yeah, go try it. You know you want to! I wouldn't say it's highly highly recommended, or a must-go for their food, but if you like Snoopy and beef lasagne, I say GO! Otherwise, it's optional XD

Sexy Surprise!

2011-12-22T12:30:00.003+08:00

What would you do if you received a card which looks like this in the mailbox?

I mean, how dangerous can a card be, right? And furthermore, as humans, we'll tend to do things the opposite of what we've been told out of curiousity.

But then again, I didn't tell Pei Li to not open the card, just be careful:P That's her birthday card, by the way;)

Ready for what's inside?

....................

.................

..............

...........

.......

Hailing from all over the world, sexy hot bods!

What would your first reaction be? Mine would be stunt for about 3 seconds and I'll be laughing my ass off!..Which was how I expected Pei Li to react, but no! Hers was hilarious!

So happened her friend was next to her and out of embarasment just in case her friend thinks she's some pervert, she was shocked and quickly closed it.LOL

I bet she excused herself and went back to her room to admire the photos and drooool.hahaha!

Here's a look into the card!:)

Lab test just because she's taking Science subjects like Chemistry:P

It was meant to be a funny card, not some pervertised one. I mean, I took "hot" guys' photos which I thought was hilarious because I mean, the way they take them is like so damn perasan but looks funny to me.lmao

You have no idea how much I cried due to the never ending laughters while making this card. Pei Li, glad that you like it. I knew you would, cheeky kid!

Remember this awesome 18th birthday you hadXD and...you're welcome!

How come I didn't think of making cheeky cards for all my friends' 18th birthday, eh? Damn inspiration. And that's why I'm not a designer.lol

Ps to Joe: Please don't ever take pictures like those. I'm begging you! haha

KP's arm around my shoulder!! squeaks

2011-12-21T16:35:00.003+08:00

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! I saw Kyle Patrick yesterday! I spoke to Kyle Patrick yesterday! I took a photo with Kyle Patrick yesterday! He freaking put his arm over my shoulder for TWO, not one, but TWO photos! More on that laterXD

I didn't write anything about going for his mini concert and Meet & Greet since I was so busy with LIMA and coming back only last Thursday. Well, yes, there was a mini concert at TAB, Orchard Road.

Before LIMA, I couldn't get the ticket online since my PayPal cannot be converted to any currencies other than the fixed US one. Michelle had problems with her debit card too, so the ever so helpful Yen Shan came to my rescue and bought the $65 ticket which include Meet & Greet, whereas the $45 ticket was only the concert.

Mum and both, Michelle and Rebecca came along to Singapore too! We headed to Bugis for shopping!! I got two dresses and two sets of bangles!:D

Went to meet up with YenShanShan at ION Orchard at 4pm, so we can go together!! We walked to find TAB using her Google Maps and man, it was just behind this Delfi building, but we went another way and was stuck for almost 15 minutes!LOL

Since the event starts at 6pm, we headed for FORUM nearby for McDonalds' fries!!!!!

She got me a gift!!..and a cute Santa Christmas card!:)

For those of you who have always heard "I have a Singaporean friend..." or "I have a friend, Yen Shan..", here she is!

She treated me fries!! I think she loves their Ketchup like me too!! Because that was all she dipped!

Ate fries, talked like really good friends, wrote love letter to KP. I've known her for about 3 years and have never hungout with her because of our timings. But hey! We spoke as if we've been friends for..I quote her, "10 years!" haha she's nonsensical, like me.heh

She gave me a cute small card-size paper to write to KP and I was so blank, while she kept adding more and more papers! I was like O.o haha! Oh, may I add she brought two 2008 magazines with The Click 5 featured for him and the guys? So thoughtful, right! I didn't even bring anything for him *gulp*

Writing her long composition-like love NOTE.hahaha

Left McDonalds' at around 5.15pm to queue up for the Meet & Greet session! Yen Shan's plan was to be the last, so can spend more time with him like terhegeh-hegeh there la..but we ended up being the first five or six when the session began.hahaha!

the 90° queue. It was stress free unlike events of Korean stars where everywhere will be jam pack and everyone will be rushing! I feel the air....yeahh

Her face is small, I don't understand why she kept saying her face is fat.lol Where got...

Got into TAB, and the sofas have been filled! Nevermind, the TAB people brought out tall chairs for us:)

It's a bar, by the way. Nope, no drunkards this time:)

Each of us got this for the signings!

The people in charge brought our the barriers to get ready for the autograph session and guess what?! Our tall-chairs row was counted as the first row! The rest of the people that chop the sofas first had to queue *evil grin*

Who's THAT?! That's Kyle!! Yes, he's skinny as always.

We got into the line and everyone was oh-so-nervous! I was a little nervous, but I kept telling myself to keep calm and "Hey, you paid freaking $65 for this and you don't get chances like this, you better don't nervous nervous till you miss the whole thing!"

And...I didn't! I was like "Hey there!" but the TAB girl was saying they need to hurry because they had limited time, padahal the back people later took their own sweet time with him. Rawr. I demand a re-queue!

After I said "Hey there!", he wanted to give me a hug but I was being rushed so I blanked for a moment and just passed to him the small note. He went "Oh, thanks!" and started reading it out "Hey Ho!..." and before he could continue, I was like "..we gotta hurry.haha" and he went "Oh, right." while I passed to him my poster and he asked for my name to be written and signed. Didn't want to waste my money, I had to speak more, right?

"I'm from Malaysia, by the way" and he got so excited saying, "OH! COOL! So will I see you in KL?" "Nahh, I'm from the south, so it's pretty far away" and he looked a tad bit disappointed while saying "Oh, so you won't be in KL, huh?" "No.." We shook heads at the same time while I said no.haha so cute!

Everyone before me stood on his left, but as most my friends would know, my good side is when I'm the right. So, I went to his right, when he expected me to go to his left while saying "This side!". Didn't think he'd say anything to that, but he did! He laughed and said "That's good. That's my good side too!" So there! A win-win situation.heh

I looked horrid here, lucky he blinked and said "I swear I blinked on that one, sorry" and told the girl to help take another photo!!

He's soooooo nice! Who else would care if your photo turn out crappy when they're rushing for time, right? The TAB girl had no choice but to retake another photo for us, since he asked!

SCORED!

Before me was Yen Shan. I helped her use her iPhone and I was scared I couldn't take good photos for her as everyone was nervous around me and my hands were shaking a little.LOL But hey, I took a few photos for her! I was just snapping away from moment she passed the stuffs to him.

Handsome kiddo

He's really good looking, I tell you! When you see him, you'll either squirm or just go *jaw drops* and stay that way for a couple of minutes.hahaha! He's cute too! And of course, friendly. Who'd like arrogant people? *smiles*

Waited till about 7.45pm, which the Meet & Greet session took a little too long, so he went to "freshen up" for about an hour.LOL Freshen up for an hour? The singing's supposed to start at 8pm, for your information.

Took a couple of photos with a polaroid camera and threw the films to the audiences:)

More photos! and watch the videos! Don't skip it, I'm warning you, DO NOT SKIP IT! You'll regret it to the core! His voice is so good, it's earth-shaking! and his cute headbanging and jerkings, having fun playing his guitar named Baby;)

Only him and his guitar for the night. Nothing better.

Right back at cha!

During the song Another Life, one of his guitar string snapped at the last chorus. Seems like he didn't bring extra guitar strings, but he managed to turn everything around and it still sounded awesome! Watch him retune the guitarXD

Sadly, right after this video, like literally, I had to go off!! It was 9.45pm and my family was waiting for me at ION Orchard train station*sigh* But at least I got to listen to him sing quite a number of songs although it's is a little wasted lah..

Walked back on my own. Hey, I have a pretty good sense of direction!

Not so nice decorations this year:/

Aw mang! I feel like going for the Malaysia one this 24th at Fahrenheit 88 Mall! It's free and it's KP! But obviously my parents won't let. Rawr. And anyway, I have a visit to the orphanage as part of my Kids' Church event. Oh well.

I had a good time anyway:)

I didn't manage to catch this one, but watch it here! (Video credits to Yen Shan)

LIMA 2011: Part 2

2011-12-17T13:21:00.000+08:00

7th December
It's the second day of real job's responsibilities, also the last day I'll be assisting the Myanmar delegate to the booths he's supposed to visit.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the last post that on 6th, there was this complication with the delegates because my Chief of Navy wanted to tag along Charmaine's Chief of General Staff, which programme schedule was different. In the end, Char's followed my schedule. And when visiting the booths, exhibitors tend to greet the higher rank delegate, in this case Char's delegate, so I felt bad for my delegate..it was like he kena tersingkir.LOL But eventually, Char's AO and I went to introduce him to the exhibitors lah..haha

Another thing! When we were touring around the booths, Char's AO was so funny! He started to look around for booths which serves coffee and insisted we go there for a drink.LOL Good thing we managed to keep to the schedule, while having time to visit a few extra booths that weren't on the programme booklet.

Back to the 7th, they wanted to follow each other again, but the schedules were obviously different. The previous day they could jumble some up since it's just booths visit, but this day had more important stuffs like the Chief of Navy Courtesy Call. So, my delegate said he'll follow my schedule, which is his schedule lah.lol

Ended the day around 3-ish since they have some other programmes outside, at the Awana Porto Malai, where delegates have maritime programmes there(I think, I don't remember). So before they left, we took a couple of photos and Char's delegate gave her a souvenir!

It was a jade-ish bracelet

I didn't expect anything from my delegate since well, I didn't think he had to give me anything..I mean if he does, it's out of gratitude for me bring him around the hall. So I didn't give him the glare(LOL) when he looked so bengang when he saw his leader gave Char a gift.LOL

May I add that my AO came back the next day to pass me a jade-ish necklace from my delegate. I think he felt bad that he didn't give me anything.haha he's so nice:)

Group picture! My delegate is the one next to me in white, the AO is the one on the far right, while the far left one tagged along too, but till now I don't know who he is.LOL He's probably my delegate's colleague.

The gang!..minus the guy with the blazer

They were really nice people, not the strict-stern-arrogant people I thought they would be initially, since they are the army people.. My delegate was telling me about his family planning to get his son to further his studies in Malaysia after he's done with his medical studies. Oh, he did mention he has three sons too.LOL

Char and Joe was like "Maybe he's trying to match you up.." Hmm...I don't think so. I have mine already*swoon*

The white dude at the back is one of Char's crushes, Thag(pronounced Tog.haha). He's the LO for the whole Myanmar delegation.

After they all ran along to their next destination, hehehe it's time to rayau! Char and I went around the hall after work since we had to enjoy some freedom and not actually getting stuck at the Info Counter right after our duties are done, so...pictures time! and collecting souvenirs from booths time!haha

(Photo credits to Charmaine)

Found this awesome prop to camwhore at.heh (Photo credits to Charmaine)

at the EADS's booth helicopters! (Photo credits to Charmaine)

some flying object to demo how it flies the helicopter, I think

This is part of Hall C, near to the Organisers Office

This was one of the two army mannequin that scared me. I thought they were real! O.o

Funny how I felt some kind of connection to this booth even before I actually visited it. I saw it on the map and I was like *zzzzhhnggg*LOL

Was super excited to go up the helicopter through the backway!!!

We're flyinggggg! not. (Credits to Irfan for taking the pic!)

Oh! This helicopter we went on was really awesome. Why? We got to sign on it! It was sooo cool to know only the important-er people got to sign there because when the exhibition was opened to public, they barricaded it!hahaha I'm evil...

Perfect spot for me!

Yeehaw!

Here's for you, code name! I remember you telling me about this coworker of yours that said something about you military people should earn your respect, hey, look at this picture! IN HER FACE!lol

peeps at the Information Counter in the registration hall

There was four cafeterias at MIEC, one of them was The Loaf. The pastries they sell are reaaaaally good! But of course, it reflects on the price. So we got lucky one day when we went there after work at about 5pm, they were closing so they wanted to finish the pastries. We bought about four items and got two free!hehehe

Happy with the food!

We were starving! I love that thing we're eating in this photo, don't know what it's called though..

It's this flaky-crispy flour thing with molten chocolate in the middle..YUMMY!!!

Got back to our rooms to change out of our uniforms and go out for dinner!!!

view from my room in the evening. Pretty!

This is what I do every morning before breakfast, evening after work and night before I sleep.

(Photo credits to Charmaine)

That's where I get WiFi since it can't reach my room. All to text my hot stuff.lol It was sooo awesome because though I was so far away from home, I still got to text and he always makes my day start well and end well. Awwwww...

Dinner that night was pretty shitty. The "nasi lemak" was yucky. It didn't taste like nasi lemak and the fish was so-so. The food came super late, but well, we learn from our mistakes, no?

8th December

I'M FREEEEEEEEEE! not really. Just that my job as a Liaison Officer is doneeeeee! Time for Info Counter and ushering and catching people without tags or with kids(kids weren't allowed until the exhibition was opened to the public), after getting chased by Miss Azlin.lol Hey, I like the Info Counter! Not so much being the baddie who chase people away..

Got this Black Hawk keychain from the Green Barret army shop few doors away from my hotel!

At the exhibition, the US Pavilion only had Seahawk, no Black Hawk.lol But reminded me of him anyway. Gosh! Everything I see everywhere during this LIMA trip reminds me of him like literally. But hey! I was very focused on doing my job well also, okay!

(Photo credits to Eryn)

Best lighting outside

We went over again to our favourite signed helicopter so that Gup could place her autograph on it too, but unfortunately, the person-in-charge wasn't there yet.

I'm "tall" enough to not bend!haha

One of my favourite photos..because I think I look fabulous!LOL

One of the many jumping shots which failed miserably. I don't like doing jumping shots, by the way.

Failed jump shot, but I looked nice anyway:P (Photo credits to Vern)

You see the guy on the far left of the picture above? He's a mix of American and Malaysian. Char thought he looked hot the first time we saw him at the jetty and she was going gaga over the fact that he looked a bit caucasian-ish. And he is!

I was like "Hey, are you a mix?" and Gup butt in saying "..or maybe Arabian or something?hahaha" His reply was "*blur*..well, yeah, I'm a mix of American and Malaysian. If American and Malaysian makes Arabian, then yes!" lmao good answer!

The buggy people! Man, I want to drive one..or just sit on one!

Me photobombing! (Photo credits to Charmaine)

Watching some aerial displays

Door to the registration hall!

After work that day, the organisers planned a trip for us to go see the ships at Awana Porto Malai, which was about 30mins away from MIEC. My feet was aching and blistering, I had no mood for it, but dragged myself there anyway.. I wouldn't want to miss the fun, would I?

(Photo credits to Charmaine)

Some pastries to distract me from my feet! (Photo credits to Charmaine)

WE ARE ON KD JEBAT! (Photo credits to Charmaine)

I didn't climb up there since my feet was killing me..so I helped them to hold their plastic bags and all.

Have no idea what that ball thing is for, but Char forced me to take a pic with it :/ (Photo credits to Charmaine)

(Photo credits to Charmaine)

With Khairul, the young face.LOL (Photo credits to Charmaine)

(Photo credits to Charmaine)

Initially during the briefing, I thought Khairul was this stuck up dude that was so full of himself..I still didn't quite like him at work at first, but probably because he's so damn super busy, that's why he looked so stressed and arrogant.heh

But no! He's so funny! Not funny funny, but as you'd know by now that we tend to drag even the quietest people in to our web and turn them into funny monsters. So there you go! We always tease him about how he looked our age when he's 20! He's a volunteer too, but he somehow got to do the office work thing two weeks earlier than us, so he's more of our head than our colleague.lol

9th December

The day where all kiasu people come rushing through the doors!haha The exhibition was opened to public on the 9th and 10th. We reach daily at about 7.15am, it'll be so cold in the hall and no one will be there, so we'd go outside for the warmer air and perfect lighting for picture taking!!!

(Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

This is actually one of my favourite photos too! Because we're cool like thatXD (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

First attempt for a jumping shot before Job and I escaped when they wanted to change jumping spot due to the dark lighting.heh (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

Oh, remember I mentioned once about me being done as an LO? Yup, since it was opened to public for two days, the registration people needed help with the ticketing, so Char and I were appointed by Miss Azlin to help out!

It was quite hectic, but fun!(Photo credits to Eryn)

(Photo credits to Fauzi)

It was fun in a way that I got to handle money, which I've never really liked(though I love money) because I'm not so good at maths and tend to get confused and all. But hey! I did awesome because one ticket was RM10 and it was easy to give the change since there isn't any single numbered change:D

Oh, that's not all! I got to interact with all sorts of people. Especially when we're up north of Malaysia, the Malay's accent is different, so sometimes I have to really put my ears near to their mouth when they speak.LOL It's funny that I got to put all three languages- English, Malay and Mandarin into practice, switching automatically one after the other. My brain is goooood.

There were a few Chinese who came to me speaking in some dialect, mostly Cantonese, which I didn't understand since I'm Teochew. But hey! I managed to agak how many tickets they wanted! And if they ask me a question in Cantonese, I'll reply in Mandarin. Smart eh?XD

Later at night after work, the organisers called for a party at a bar nearby our chalet called, Reggae Bar. Not sure if that's the real name, but that's what everyone calls it. Before that, Gup and I made our way to Kuah Town for tax-free chocolates!!!!! While Char went for seafood dinner with her aunt, who was one of the exhibitors from Thales.

We reached the bar at about 10.45pm, where they've started at 8.30pm but they probably left about 3am.lol Yes, it was my first time to a bar and I felt very insecure. Most likely because it was really dark, everywhere I turn, there'll be people smoking shisha and drunk people scares me.

Found the gang eventually and I got my dinner! It was on the house, no, the organisers' house(lmao) so I got two BBQ chickens and one whole huge fish! Yummy!! I didn't have my dinner earlier as we were rushing to Kuah Town, so I was happy I got my food when I was so damn hungry!:D

While eating, Mr. Prem sat among us three and started giving us advice, you know the usual ones ~~older~~ maturer people give.. about our future, career paths, boys. It was really nice to talk to him but I was a bit O.o when he was telling us that we can have boyfriends, we can touch, hug, kiss but not go all the way and all that shizzles. He actually demo-ed on me.LOL The kiss part I moved to Gup though.lmao

But all in all, Mr. Prem is really awesome. He told us that he started out just like us, volunteering for LIMA 1997 at the age of 18. He then furthered his studies in the UK and when he came back, he worked for LIMA. It's so awesome that he loves doing what he does. He's always so laid back and happy doing his job. I doubt there aren't times when he gets stressed up, but that's just part and parcel of a working life, no? But yes, he does love his job like crap and that's really good:)

Too bad I didn't bring my camera, so the few photos are with Izzat and Job, the Dutch.

10th December

Last day of work, also the last day to hang out with this crazy bunch of people! :( Funny thing was, Gup and I got to know many of the funny Malay guys like halfway through the working duration. I mean, we know their faces, but we didn't really talk to them.

But you know, when I have nothing to do at the Info Counter and it's almost end of the day so most of them will drop by to hang around..that's when my true self is unleashed!LOL I don't know most of their names, but there was this dude called Kosai(Real name: Adam) with the long thumb nail and last finger nail, which Gup and I said they're both for picking his nose. Ewwww!

There was Salmi(Real name: Shahmi) who refused to tell us his name or even show us his name tag. Everytime we walk pass him, he'll hide his tag because we had a few attempts to snatch it..the rough people we are.heh

There was also Irfan who helped Char and I take our helicopter photo. I call him the fun guy! Since it's in his name.haha And a super fun, outgoing and friendly guy, Zam, which I call Zam Zam Alakazam.LOL Das was really cool too and Rasyid and L!!! I'll show you L later! His name is super cool!

It was funny because when handling the tickets, it's so noisy so if I need to call my colleague and I don't know their name, they'll tell me their names but I'll end up calling them something that isn't their names.LOL For example, Das became Ras and Syahir became Shakir or Shahril or something like that. But the nice thing was, they'll answer to my call in that busy situation till when we're done with work and hangout, only will they tell me what I called them wasn't their name.LOL

To those I didn't mention names, that's because there's too many of you and I have a problem with remembering your names, but I do know your faces! Basically, they're a bunch of funny people. Funny is awesome. Buggy people rocks too! Namely, Sarah and the guys.

Oh! Shout out to Nalini who reads my blog!XD I won't forget Fauzi too, whom I call Fauziah.haha

Prove of me doing my job!lol (Photo credits to Fauzi)

In the evening after work, it was paycheck time!! Everyone was so exhausted, but happy that our work was done and and excited about getting our money!!

Smile! Our work is doneeeee! Weeee! (Photo credits to Charmaine)

Vern was so sweet! He got us key chains since he thought the next time we meet will be God knows when. No wonder he left the bar even before we reached. So he went to get our key chains and his *ahem ahem*'s gift.heh

Going cuckoo waiting for my moneyh (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

Get this! Mr. Haswan commented on Facebook "my favourite JB girls" !!!!!! Awwww... (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

(Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

The one in the middle is Mr. Prem!! and the one in white is our Managing Director. (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

I tell you, almost everyone in the organisers team excluding the volunteers lah..is super nice and fun and havoc!LOL The first time I saw the MD on the first night we reached Langkawi, I thought he must be another stuck up boss, but NO! He's crazy friendly and funny too! Damn, I feel so cheated because I'm most of the time right about first impressions!

I don't have a photo of Gup's leader, Mr. Fairul, but he has this stylish walk which Gup and I are fascinated of. I don't know how to explain it, but his butt sways when he walks and his arms will be like those stylist, you know..aiya, I can only picture it, but can't explain. Even when he's on the phone rushing here and there, he still remain so composed and stylish.LOL A couple of times when Gup and I walk behind him, we try to imitate his walk, but failed miserably.haha

This happy baby face is Mr. Haswan! The dude in charge of us since day one!

Like, literally day one! He was the one who emailed us, informing about all the updates, handling our paranoid parents, answering our anything-under-the-sky questions..like a week before LIMA, three of us went for shoe shopping and Gup wanted to do her nails. She gave him a call and ask if she could colour her nails, and if so, what colour would be fine for work. I know, it's crazy, he must've been so bengang, but somehow he always give us an answer in any situation at all.

Even when he's so damn busy and stressed up..like you can even see it through his appearance, it's obvious that he's rushing and there's a lot going on in his head, but if we have a question, he'll always give us an answer, a solution or direct us to the person-in-charge, almost never were we left clueless or pushed around to someone else for the answer to our questions. So again, if you're reading this sir, don't kembang know!hahaha

Oh! At the bar, he asked Gup what we were drinking. And when Gup said "It's just Coke, don't worry" and he went "Okay, good good. Stick with that, okay!" hahaha We were the youngest there after all, and the funnest mind you!XD

That's Zam Zam Alakazam!

..and a super blur pic with Rasyid!

It was meant to be our Form6 picture, I don't know why Khairul and the third Izzat is there.LOL

(Photo credits to Vern)

Nalini!:) (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

I have no idea what's on Arvin's mind *shakes head* lmao (Photo credits to Fauzi & Nalini)

My working partner at the registration hall! This is Eryn, by the way:)

That's the Dutch which has been flocked by the girls since the first day, excluding me, I have my American. Okay, I'll stop now.

Funny people!

Look at the pins Hanis collected! I have only a quarter of what she has!:(

There! That's L! His name on his IC is literally L! And omgosh! Hanis is his girlfriend, I didn't know! Niceee..

Hey, that's very fastXD

Ugh, my messy hair. I got my money anyways!! Yay!

Khairul had this little kitty plush toy hanging on his DSLR. Initially, we thought it was just for nice or maybe it's his favourite thing given by that someone special maybe:P But look!

It's to tilt his camera..to take the pics like the one below! (Photo credits to Khairul)

Young face! (Photo credits to Khairul)

Last dinner together, we went back to the restaurant we went to two nights back, next to the laundry shop we send our clothes to. We liked it there because not only the food was good, but there was a cute guy there that played the guitar and sang for us! This night, Char and Izzat requested a couple of songs too! It was good:)

Steak sandwich!

We had a photo with the guy, but it's with Izzat! Ugh these people can't email me the photos fast!

UPDATE! Got the photo from Vern!

(Photo credits to Vern)

I'll update later when I get some photos, so recheck later, will ya?

Spot me! Spot me! (Photo credits to Khairul)

I felt so Super Junior!LOL Fyi, "LIMA" also means the number five in Malay, hence the five sign:) (Photo credits to Khairul)

Organiser! *proud*

My first job, my first time away from home so far up north, my first time staying up till so late for work, but it was fun and I definitely learnt a lot from this one of a kind experience. And hey! I can name you aerospace and maritime companies now! Time to make me look smarter!haha

Ps: Dang! I didn't get to edit some photos due to the small size when download from Facebook and it gets so pixelated. There you go, my pimples shown to the whole world!

LIMA 2011: Part 1

2011-12-16T00:39:00.001+08:00

My first completed job at Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2011!! In case you didn't know, my previous job lasted for only a day[Blog post: One day salary].heh

LIMA first started in 1991 and they have it every two years. And this year, I got to be part of the team! Gup, Char, Izzat and myself applied for the volunteer programme and got the job![Blog post: LIMA Briefing]

3rd December

I shall cut to the chase now since it's going to be a long post. All the volunteers together with Mr. Haswan, the person in charge of us, boarded the bus and we were on our journey to Kuala Perlis!

I sat with Char, while Gup sat with Izzat since they knew each other since in primary school. At one of the R&R though, Izzat made a new friend, Vern! From there, we got Vern to switch bus to our bus and they got to sit together and bond! Okay, that sounds a bit wrong.

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

Anywayyyyy, we reached Kuala Perlis Jetty after almost 8 hours of butt cramps! Got on the ferry only an hour later since the Muslims had to pray and our ferry is scheduled the next hour. Ferrying us to Langkawi Island took another hour, which was killer since I was already so tired and all they had to keep us entertained was this stupid toyol movie=.="

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

It was about this two thieves who bought a green toyol to help them with their break ins since they always fail miserably. But somehow they got the wrong toyol, a similarly dumb one as them. So instead of helping them steal things, it's just another burden to them since it'll wake the house owners up by jumping on their bed etc.

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

Back to the journey. We reached at around 8 plus, got onto the bus and reached our not-so-chalet chalet close to 9pm. Checked into Sandy Beach Resort and got to hurry for dinner as we only had 30 minutes for it before leaving for Mahsuri International Exhibition Center(MIEC) at 9.30pm to check out the place plus some briefing.

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

Finally got to have some rest at about 11pm before waking up at 5.30am the next day.

4th December

Nasi Lemak for breakfast and we're off for work at 7.30am! We got to hang by the beach for a couple of minutes before leaving for the day though! By the way, Sandy Beach is quite a cheater as it was stated at the website that there's free WiFi, laundry service and car/van hire. They have none of those! WiFi is only at the restaurant area, which I have to walk out of my room to the hallway to use. But better than none lah..

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

sandy shoe!

Went to MIEC for some briefing before being told what our jobs were. But somehow, the organisers were busy, so we were left by ourselves for hours, which we made good use of to familiarise ourselves with the booths' placings according to our map:) Quite confusing for me though, since the booths were not clearly fixed yet.

It was only two days away from the event but all the booths were still being set up! If it was me, I would've been so super stressed up, but all the booths seem to be completed around the same time! Wow!

Took a breather outside to get a good view at the static displays!

TADAHHHH! (Photo credits to Charmaine!)

Augusta Westland's helicopter

Eurofighter Typhoon's

This is Sabah Air, a Eurocopter from EADS, I think.

Never got to take a step at the tarmac, where all the pretty planes are :(

Got to our lunch awhile later and it was work time!

What did we do? Nothing much actually. Oh! I forgot to state my job! I was the Liason Officer! Charmaine and Vern too, while Gup and Izzat were in charge of the Information Counter.

As a Liason Officer(LO), our job is to contact the Accompanying Officer(AO), which is Malaysian to contact the delegates on our behalf. AOs are basically the middleman. Each LO gets two delegations, one Western and one Asian.

Our job is to show them the booths they're supposed to go to according to their individual scheduled programmes. We're required to focus more on the Asian delegates as they are the targeted market of the exhibitors, while the Western ones are here to sell, not buy...since their defence technology is already so bloody good.

I got Russia and Myanmar, which I didn't have the number of both AOs to contact to introduce myself and brief them on what to do. Which, was what all the LOs are supposed to do after lunch. Others were busy helping out with all the undone delegates' programme schedule, so I helped with folding and stapling the booklets.lol

They made us stay back till about 12.30am because the PROGRAMME BOOKLETS ARE NOWHERE NEAR DONE AND EVERYBODY'S FREAKIN' OUT!!! I thought it was supposed to be done way earlier though. Hmmm...there were a few people who actually stayed till 3am too! But obviously not me..I need my sleeeeeeep!

Anyway, everyone's responsible for their own welcome packs- a bag, a file, an exhibition directory, two booklets, delegate's name tags. Thing is, Char, Vern and my Myanmar ones were missing! To cut the long story short, some colonel dude from MINDEF was being an asshole because he was mocking us, volunteers and didn't let us check our files.

Vern and Char was this close to redoing the whole welcome pack, but I on the other hand, told Gup I wasn't that worried as I had a real deep hunch that our files were at the "No Tags" pile which he didn't let us touch. In the end, I was right! Stupid old man.

5th December
Just like the day before, except a little more stressful. Why? Because only this morning I got the contacts for both my Myanmar and Russian delegates, when other colleagues contacted theirs a day earlier.

Met my Russian and Myanmar AOs at the MINDEF secretariat office at different timings. Discussed a bit with Encik Khairul, the Russian LO(which I thought was the AO), since the real AO, Encik Nizam was very unvocal.lol

Mr. Artemyer Vladimir, the Russian delegate hasn't arrived then, so I met his two colleagues, one of them was Captain Ivan who wanted a few courtesy calls, which I couldn't help much since the meeting rooms has been fully booked. I then brought the LO and AO around the exhibition center to let them know which booth is where according to the map, following their schedule.

As for my Myanmar AO, Commander Ja'afar had to settle his accommodation and transportation, so I didn't have the chance to bring him around. So basically, I was done for the day at about 3pm after lots of calling, running around and explanations.

Oh! Char and I went around to all the booths our delegates would visit the following day just to inform roughly the timings they'd visit, so the exhibitors get to prepare beforehand.

After two nights of over time, majority of us couldn't take it anymore, so everyone just hurried out without looking back(LOL) when we heard rumours that the buses have arrived.heh Haswan got us to go back to claim our dinner awhile after we got onto the bus. I think they wanted to make us stay back, but decided to let us have an earlier night anyway:)

We brought our dinner to a nearby restaurant to get some drinks and ikan bakar!!

There were a few other volunteers that ate at that restaurant and halfway through, Mr. Haswan and his friend came. We were like "Oh, crap! He came all the way here to give us more work?*no eye contact, no eye contact!*" LOL But no! He freaking paid for our food..and drinks!

Have been drinking my childhood favourite- Carrot Milk lately:)

This was good, but in JB it's nicer. Yumm..

I was the first who figured it out since I saw him communicating with the waiter what with all the hand gestures..haha It was sooo nice of him. Though we didn't order much, that few ringgit means a lot to us, students. So sir, if you're reading this, THANKS AGAIN! Should have ordered more lahh..heh Hope you liked those Mini Mars BarsXD

the gang!

6th December

Here comes the real work of all! First thing to do was to text the Russian AO to bring the delegate to the Ballroom for the opening ceremony since I won't be there to assist them. On the other hand, I met up with the Myanmar ones and "escorted" them to the Ballroom.

In our awesome uniforms! It was sponsored by HeiTech, by the way:)

Gup doing her thing at the Info Counter!

I got to end the day early at about 1430 as the Myanmar delegates had a Roundtable Talk will end at 1630, which is when my work is supposed to end. But when they're having the talk, I didn't have to go in, so my job is done for the day, hence, I went for lunch!

My lunch of some rice, achar, fish and a pathetic piece of chicken.lol It was good though:)

Had the rest of the day off, so I went out to see the Aerial Display! I've been hearing the super loud plane noises since the 4th till the last day on 10th, that my eardrum somehow stretched and got used to it.haha

Oh! Not forgetting, whenever I don't have work to do, I'll head straight for the Info Counter to help Gup and Izzat out with the many questions which needed some answers, mostly where's the toilet.LOL "From here, just walk straight. See Fincantieri? Turn right, walk a little more and the toilet is on your left*smile*"

The Info Counter people! Julian and another Izzat(Monash) are some who helped out too at times:)

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

Finally got to end the day early as scheduled, so we got to walk the streets outside our chalet!

Many shops like this!

Have always loved street signs like this one..Malaysia's having more of them now!

Free and easy dinner, finally!

When step foot to a WiFi covered area, this is what happens...

Got to chat with my hot stuff too! Yippee!

I ordered Chicken Chop since I love the black pepper sauce..and fries!!

(Photo credits to Charmaine!)

..and all of us shared this Margarita Pizza! Yummy!

That night, we hung out till about 11pm, just talking and talking and talking, mainly about relationships from a girl and guy's point of view. Yes, I took quite a number of pointers but I still don't like how some things work. But again, at least I'll try to be more understanding when things don't go the way I want it. BUT IT SUCKS! Okay, I'm done. Group pic!

I look super oily with oily fringe, thanks to my supply of oil blotter which ran out.

To think that all the marts around doesn't sell them. I was suffering from oil overload till 11th, when my family came and I got to go to the mall!

Kids Camp & Iris' Birthday

2011-11-29T23:58:00.001+08:00

I'm down with a really sore throat, but since Char's been pestering me to update my blog and well, if I don't update now, the next time will be in about two to three weeks time:( So, here I am..let's just hope my fever doesn't strike!

[Attention: If you're here to just see my photos, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, but read on anywayXD]

The most recent event I had was my church's Kids' Camp! It's an annual event for the kids and I haven't really missed one since I was 4 or 5 years old, except last year where I had SPM going on..but I did go at night to poke my nose around and munch on the pizzas:P

I don't have many photos since well, I was part of the game masters team and basically, I just didn't had the mood to take any. [Uploading photos] Oh wait, there's actually quite a number of pictures!LOL None of me though.

Registration! I was in charge of writing names on the bottle waters

Once everyone arrived, the rooming was done..to my surprise, I wasn't with Jess, Reb and the rest. I think they needed a helper in Iris' room, so that was where I went!

My crazy roommates when Iris isn't around.haha

These kids are 5-10 years old and man, are they noisy! But at least they're handle-able, not too out of control:)

This is Josephine. She drew a nicer me the first time..this is her second attempt to make me ugly and un-me.LOL

The game masters this year was Iris, Michael, Cha Jun, Yishen, Justin and myself! We weren't in any groups, so it was definitely a lot less stress than usual where the group teachers will expect the helpers to do practically everything.

Giving out instructions for the second game- Sandwich Making! Photo credits to Iris

The ingredients were tuna with mayonnaise, salad..or is it cabbage? sliced bitter gourd and wasabi!

YUMMEH!! Photo credits to Iris

Felt like eating some tuna with bread after the games were over, but there were flies around. Though it was covered with plates, there's still possibility the flies got in anyway:(

The usuals went on after games- shower time, dinner, Praise & Worship sessions, supper..and it was lights out.

Next morning, devotion time before breakfast.

Just look at Cha Jun!

I, on the other hand prefers to help out at the food section while they're devotioning.heh

Mum's in chargeXD

Here's what we do- divide each packet of food into halves for kids who can't finish a whole packet...like me:P

After the second session, all group leaders collected their props and a catch phrase for Fun Nite! This year, they're suppose to use the two props they drew lots from and include the catch phrase in their skit. It was pretty fun..especially the "I'm sexy and I know it" one.haha

Rehearsals started right after a short meeting with the helpers. It was intense! And mind you, every group has only more or less 2 hours to prepare their presentation! Besides the skit, they have to do a group cheer too.

Aunty Teresa is the most creative teacher and she's known for her handmade things from pillows to gifts.

Super Orange!

Lazing around while waiting for the brains to be done with practicing for the next session. As you can see, Reb looks so depressed as they wasted a lot of time.lol

The brains of her group

somehow Xavier(left) look like he did his brows.LOL

I was laughing hysterically when this boy had to sing James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" while making click-cluck noises at the interval of the lyrics.lol

Sadly, I have only a few photos from Fun Nite, which all of them were of very bad quality..so I'll post it up when I can get hold of good ones.

We had our photo taking session on the third day, which was also the last day.

Spot me! Photo credits to Iris

Us, the helpers! Photo credits to Iris

Right before taking this photo above, I got kinda pissed off. You see, there were some helpers who went out on the first night, which they were not supposed to. The teachers did call for a meeting to talk to all of us, fine, settled. But no! Seems like these teachers still held grudges..toward ALL of us!

1) Before taking the first group picture, they made us put our finger to our lips while they were arranging who stands where. Yeah, the guys were talking a lot, but what are we? Kids? Hello, we're teenagers and your helpers..you need us. Keep that in mind. 2) They hurried us to take the helpers' group photo by having a countdown. What are we? Your slaves? I was so pissed off, I felt like stomping and say them off in front of their face, but of course, I didn't want to embarrass them or make a fool out of myself in front of the kids like they did*shrugs*

Moving on, actually, moving backwards... the Sunday two weeks back, was Iris(my niece)'s first birthday!

If you remember, my cousin got married in June last year..

There!

And now they have a baby!!

Mum and birthday girl

She was so manja with my aunt aka her grandma..considering the fact that my aunt spends most time taking care of her while my cousin and his wife are away at work.

We went out for dinner nearby though it was raining really heavily. But free food and good food, why not?XD We even had Secret Recipe's cake!! Was too full to eat all I can though:(

Oh, last Monday, I went shoe shopping with Char and Gup! Met up with Char at 11am in City Square. Guess what? Gup thought we were meeting at 1pm, so that's when she came.LOL

My favourite Cheese Baked Rice with fish fillet and red sauce at Kim Gary Restaurant!

Hers was the same, except it was pork.

I managed to buy a pair of black flats from Summit for LIMA! No, it's not that I needed to get something new just because it's an event...but we're required to wear black shoes or heels, which I have neither. So, there you go!

It's velvety:D

...and finally, Starbucks before going home:)

Reason for me not being to blog for about 2-3 weeks is that, I'll be leaving to KL this Friday then to Langkawi from 3rd- 11th Dec for LIMA Exhibition. I'm extending my stay there till the 14th for a holiday with my family..around Langkawi and Penang, and lastly, KL on the 15th to get our nails done and some shopping!

There's internet access at the places I'll be staying, but I won't have a laptop..I'm hoping the 5-star one that we'll be staying at for two days will have computers for me, then I might blog:)

Chance to drive...finally

2011-11-23T22:47:00.001+08:00

Driving license has been in my hands for more or less 6 months. And no, I'm not driving myself to school...yet or even driving to the shop...yet.

What's taking me so long? No, I do not have any phobias, neither do I have any plans on having a license just because..and let people chauffeur me around instead. Well, dad's pretty eager in getting me to drive around, but mum is sorta kinda the opposite.

Somehow, yes, no doubt she'll want me to drive one day, but not now because...I don't know, I'll be using her car instead since dad has a change of plans, so I'm not going to drive a manual car any time soon, and maybe she's afraid I'll go wild with the car like hangout with my friends and coming back late at night.

Mum, I know my limits and you definitely think too much.

Anyway, dad and mum came to an agreement on familiarizing me with driving on the road(duh, where else?), but so far I've only driven around my house twice in 6 months and that's at 40km/h. Why so freaking slow?!! Mum already thinks I'm driving too fast at that speed(I KNOW!!) and when I accelerate a little to 50km/h, I can just tell she's so ready to jam my brakes and get me to hand over the car.lol

So, dad brought up this issue this morning and you know the deal..some disagreements, some voice raising moments later, he spoke to me.

Well, he said mum isn't to be blamed entirely for not allowing me to drive. He indirectly said it's my fault too. Woah woah woah. Wait a minute, dad. You have NO IDEA how much I pester her to let me drive to the shop and she never lets me! And now you're saying I'm suppose to grab whatever opportunity I have eg. going to church and to Ah Ma's house..to drive? Hello! I don't even get the chance to drive to the shops that are 2 minutes away, how am I suppose to drive to places that are 20 minutes away?

Thing is, he probably doesn't know the full story, as in mum not allowing me to drive, hence I get blamed. And I swear he said lots of stuffs that are freaking stupid..things that makes one want to punch him in the face. Anyway, reason why he thinks it's my fault too is because every time I'm supposed to drive, behind the scenes, mum tells me to give excuses to dad saying "Oh, it's raining" or "Tomorrow lah, today very tired"...just because she thinks it wasn't the right time for me to drive. Hmmm...

But anyway, I got to drive all the way to Reb's school, which was in Tun Aminah today!! It was good:) Ya'll would most probably recall the time when you first got you license, your dad or mum next to you in the passenger's seat, telling you to slow down..basically, lots of nagging and words in a scared plus annoyed tone. Exactly what I went through.

There was this turning from my house to the highway and another turning to the Kemayan City road(leading to Sutera Utama) that was well, to me, a normal turning..but mum insisted that it's very curved and that I need to use a lot of my brakes. I personally don't like jamming on the brakes, but she does.LOL Aside from the nagging telling me to slow down, what makes me upset is that.. she asked if I could do it and I said "Ya..can..", but she kept asking over and over again, which was somewhat discouraging.

So I told her "...curve, still have to turn what..then what do you want me to do?" Guess what her reply was? "..why not you park at the side then I drive" MA! WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO LEARN TO TURN??..AS IF I DON'T ALREADY KNOW! What, so next time when I'm driving, whenever there's a turning, I park my car by the roadside and get someone to take the turn for me? Err... right.

At some point, I got so annoyed that I told her "Ma, can you give instructions nicely, not so loud..and stop your crap and encourage me instead of trying to scare me?" and well, that did the work.heh When I said that, no, my confidence on taking the turns or taking a 90° after going pass the holey road at the Kemayan City bridge, did not lowered, just that there's a possibility that it might if she didn't stop.

But nevertheless, YAY TO ME! It's the second time I drove further than my housing area!hahaha Damn, I feel slow! But hey! Better late than never!XD The first was driving back from church with dad:D

Oh, I so will drive more now and imagine if J ever comes to JB, I'll be able to pick him up and we'll go drive around town...WEEEEEE!

Ps: I did not drive at 40km/h, but 60-80km/h and mum held that thing on the roof..as if I'm going too fast.LOL It was raining too! But what can I say? I always do well.heh

Rebecca's numerous awards

2011-11-16T14:33:00.001+08:00

Back to my primary school gives me this homely feeling, as if I've been there since forever. Many teachers from my time are still there, so there! Familiar faces:)

Reason of going back there this time was for Reb's Anugerah Cemerlang(Excellence Award?), where she receives six awards altogether- 1) #1 in class 2) Highest score in English, Math, Science and Moral 3) Academic excellence student leader. Was there to help her take pictures.

Egg McMuffin for breakfast!!!!! They forgot my hash brown! Rawr

Thank God for the open WiFi there! Awesome or what, right! I was tweeting away during the headmaster's looooong and sidetracked speech.LOL He talked about Thomas Edison to Bill Gates to...you guessed it! Steve Jobs, or at least I guessed it. So predictable.

Speech after speech, after an hour and a half, finally time for the awards!

That's her standing in the line

Receiving her present

I like the blazer! Makes one look slimmer and cooler, in a wayXD

I find this photo very paparazzi.LOL

All happy with her award. I swear she was so damn perasan!

The canteen's keropok lekor was really good!

It was warm..anything warm is good. That's not all, duh! It's thin, crispy and soft enough:) All good on its own, but it wouldn't hurt if there was some chili sauce or better, sambal kicap!!!*drools*

Later, we headed for Tutti Fruitti at Setia Tropika since we were too early at the Sutera Utama one:P I gave Reb a treat as her reward for such excellent results:)

Amount up to RM22:/

Next is her UPSR results tomorrow!! I think that froyo covers both her finals AND UPSR la, right?haha

Picnic without Yogi Bears!

2011-11-15T01:11:00.001+08:00

Our class is all about food and class parties, if you must know. So, after exams, not surprising..we had our class party :D at a park? Yeah, it's a park called Taman Merdeka.

Taman Merdeka is a park which consists of different sections showing the Japanese occupation, Sultan Abu Bakar's memorial, procession of Independence and some other stuffs, but you get the idea.

Everyone brought some food, idea was a picnic, but it wasn't much of a picnic with picnic baskets and red and white checks blankets. There's food nevertheless, so it's gooooood!

I forgot to bring my own container, utensils and cup, so I got some from them! Yay!

The Malay girls planned to give Anis a surprise birthday celebration and when they told me, I assume they were going to get a small cake, but umm..I guess not.

There, the birthday girl!

...and her sponge cake!

I was laughing so hard when I saw them took out the cake.haha but it's better than none! It's the thought that counts, no?

Halfway through eating, we had to change our gathering spot since the tables we used belongs to a stall owner and she came to open her stall. So, off we went a few feet away!

that's me! :D

I know how I'm seen with food a lot, but I'm no food monster, I assure you.lol

Someone brought a mat and a blanket, super cool! We played an action version of Chinese Whisper:D

food and snacks in the middle, duh!

got too lazy to shave..ignore the ugly hairs!LOL My 5 year old Chucks!:)

Does this look familiar to you?

the coin on his head thingy!

...it's seen on Anis, or we call her Mellysa Anne since there's another Anis.

The one with pink tudung is very model, as in she took part in some modelling stuff before.lol

Concentrating while trying to memorize by thinking logically.lol

Group picture!

It was hot!

What was I showing them?...

This failed hilariously jumping shot.LOL

...and I'm off! Went back around 11am, had church after that:)

...and we're done with Lower Six!:) Next year's gonna be HELL, but we'll rampage through. Oh yes, we will.

Naomitron 3000

2011-11-10T21:40:00.001+08:00

I was feeling rather crappy when I came home..yeah I'm done with my last paper of Microeconomics but I felt didn't do well. Argh.

Anyway, mum who was outside told me "Wah, Naomi..you got a letter..so many stamps one.." Instantly, I went :O *in my head* the alarm goes off "Joe! Joe! Joe!" LOL

Look at THAT! Kinda thought he was joking when he told me though it only costs $1, but he pasted about $10 worth of stamps in hopes the postman sends the letter 10 times faster than usual.lmao Is that cute or what? I'll just use express mail straight though:P

Wanted to keep it for myself only, but I couldn't resist not sharing the picture he drew- a screenshot of his non-existent blog.LOL and not forgetting some souvenirs too!;)

Ps: I'm obviously not gonna use that $1 to "buy something nice"..I'm gonna keep it!! Super excited!:D

Report Pedophiles?LOL that's an inside joke:P

Guess the letter came at the perfect time.. I don't feel so shitty anymore and though he isn't online, I'm cool with it...he's probably tired:)

BIG THANK YOU TO YOU! Yes, you!;)

LIMA Briefing

2011-11-07T11:58:00.000+08:00

There's two ways I'm writing in this post. The first half is what I wrote in the bus, and the second half is now.

[Written in the bus]

It's our first road trip together!!Okay, it's not really the kind of road trip where in the movies you see a bunch of friends driving down the highway in a roofless car by the sandy desert-looking roads. Nevertheless, it's still on the road! Without our parents!..but in a bus.lol

Sleeeeeeepay

Sorry for ruining the pic:P

Anyway, we're super excited for this trip though our exams only ends next week..oh! history papers are over!!!!! The main reason for this trip to Kuala Lumpur is for a briefing about our volunteering programme for the upcoming LIMA exhibition in Langkawi.

What we'll get from volunteering inludes MONEYYY(RM50 per day), certificate and some working experience:) Not sure if there'll be those good looking pilots or sailors, I mean, it's an aerospace and maritime event... But then again, sailors are known to be gay, no? Nevermind, I have my soldier already:P

Okay, so I'm in the bus and I'm bored and sleepy because I can't listen to music as it's battery consuming and it doesn't help with the fact that my phone has battery problem..I tried designing a Christmas card and birthday cards, but no inspiration= crappy ideas. I have my Business text book on my lap, but it isn't luring me to open and READ! Oh ps, my 1-day trip bad is the biggest among the three of us..not surprising:P And I can't really sleep because my pillow is up there and I don't appreciate having my head vibratingly-banged repeatedly on the window. I'm at a one-seater seat, by the way:)

Some junk food and guessing games later, I earned myself a glare from an old uncle in front of Charmaine, thanks to my laughters. Glary old man.

My Mamee didn't have the packet of flavouring :(

Oh! Oh! I heard Jet Lag earlier:) and Perfect! and Moves Like Jagger!..other than those were just Malay songs which I don't know. My butt is sore from the sitting, my eyes are sore from the staying awake and my stomach is sore from the gastric juices(okay, I shall not tell mum about this because she reminded me to buy some curry puffs before boarding the bus, but I did not:P)

Reached the airport-like bus terminal!

[Written right now!]

Dragged my luggage to Mid Valley, commuting on the KTM which was three stops away. Thank God Michelle was in an extremely good mood, probably because I'm there and she wants to hangout, so when we reached, she grabbed my luggage from me :D:D Char and Gup said I was torturing her, but she offered!:P

Went to the carpark to leave our bags there. Since her car was quite a distance away and we found two nearer parking lots, look what we did.

Tadahhh!

Went straight for Madam Kwan's, which is famous for their Nasi Lemak. But somehow, I didn't get their famous fried chicken, but chicken curry instead:(

Walked around the mall aimlessly just to waste time. Oh! I saw a few heels at Vincci that were really nice! I'll check them out in JB later:) There was this small stall which sells vintage-looking accessories. It was reaaaally pretty! Lots of charms, chains(long and short), bracelets, wristbands and earrings *melts* Char got a wing necklace, but I didn't get any..budget quite tight.lol

CHUCKS!XD

Left for Gup's aunt's house at around 4.30pm and guess what? KTM, the infamous train for delaying made us take the third train. The first two were way too crowded, so we gave it a miss, third was the same amount of crowd, but it was getting late, so we squeezed.

Stupid train made us grumpy..Gup's just faking a smile.LOL

Gup's aunt picked us up a distance away from the Segambut stop, which required us to walk through this creepy road, passing by rundown mechanic shops and jumping across smelly muddy water(I assume the smell comes from the corpses nearby..oh yeah, it was a cemetery there).

Got a tour around the house, took a shower and off for dinner at Infinite Irani(the restaurant downstairs of the condominium). Know what's cool about this restaurant? THEY HAVE WIFI!!! Fine, so almost every restaurants provide WiFi these days, but it was the only place I would get access that day to check my FB messenger:D Ate and slept freaking well that night*swoon*

Nasi Goreng Paprik(Paprik Fried Rice) with Telur Mata Lembu(Cow's eye egg!lmao nono, it's sunny side up egg)!!

the taste was quite bland tough..

...and watermelon juice!:D

Wanted to split the bill with Char to give Gup and her aunt a treat, but the aunt refused..she's nice:) After dinner, we went touring around the condo!!LOL

Fountain at the entrance!

Somehow the Petronas Twin Towers makes me proud.lol

Those odd floating lights you see? That's the peak of Genting Highlands!! I never knew it can be seen from KL! :O

I quote Char, "Dilarang Masuk? My foot! I'm gonna walk thru oh-so-proudly, in yo' face!"

Laze around the couch, which was SUPER COMFY! I literally sunk into it when I sat down.

Got ready for bed after flipping through the aunt's encyclopedias and as always, when you have girlfriends bunking in a room, boy talk and gossips are never given a miss! Including some of Gup's policewoman stunts*wink wink*

Up at 7am, and by now, aunt has gone out for school..so we had the whole house to ourselves!hehehe Anyway, we had a hard time getting a taxi to pick us up, mainly because of the jams that have already started.

Luckily, we were able to flag one up street while walking with our bags hoping for someone to give us a lift.lol Reached the briefing venue two hours early, so we hung around canteen which had no food:(

The briefing was well, a briefing.. Prim told us briefly what the whole event was about and answered our questions. Basically, everything we need to know is at the website itself and the few sheets of paper given to us. Super excited!!..but nervous at the same time. What if I'm not up to their expectation? I mean, I'm one of the 110 chosen from 500 plus people who sent in their application!

Anyway, we walked quite a distance downhill to the Carrefour nearby to grab lunch before heading for the bus station.

Struggling with my luggage for two whole days. I grew muscles!

Guess what we got?!! SUBWAY!!!! Kinda surprised to see it there since Mid Valley didn't have an outlet.

I had Steak and Cheese!! Oatmeal Raisins and White Macadamia Nut cookies too!! Yummy!

Izzat met up with us there, so Char and I broke our cookies and share. We're so nice people;)

Char's chocolate chip cookie is soooo gooooood!! The chips are melted!

Seems like they refilled the cookies after my order, since I only had two choices=.="

Left for the train station..had to move early in case of jams and crowd. So, we bid Gup goodbye at the KLCC stop where she was meeting her sis for a movie.

Interchanged at Masjid Jamek and paid extra few cents just so we could travel on Star Line instead of KTM:P After some wrong turns, Char and I managed to drag our legs to Tasik Selatan Bus Terminal. Phew!

Carrot milk photos overload just to show off Char's pics of me.lol

Carrot milk to cool off some steam!

Boarded the bus at 5pm. We were pretty unlucky to get super cramp seats, though we bought the same bus company as the one we took coming up.

Bus tickets!

Oh! Michelle came over right before we left to bring us some food:D How thoughtful of her, I know. Nit came too and I knew they were obviously going somewhere after meeting me.lol

Fries and mee siam!!:D

Thanks to Mic for providing us with snacks:D

Holidays come quick!

2011-10-30T14:26:00.001+08:00

I just came back from a day trip to KL!...Actually, I reached at 6pm, so I suppose I can't use the word 'just'? Anyway, Michelle's back in KL to finish up her exams and she'll be home again, most probably by end of November(that's if she doesn't get a job).

We went over to IKEA for lunch! Well, actually just for their meatballs, but it made more sense to have lunch there(fyi, my mum wasn't in the mood of running around)

car park was pretty empty, happy!!

The sole survivor on my IKEA food list is the one at 11 o'clock. Others sucked, it was practically tasteless!

During the one week she was down in JB, we hung out and did some things together, though mum warned that all three of us have exams going on and around the corner. We have to have some fun in the middle of all the stress and pimples.

First things first! We went to watch Real Steel on Monday, which was super duper AWESOMEEE! If you haven't catch it or still contemplating, trust me, watch it! I guarantee you won't walk out of the theater in a daze..or shout some vulgarities after watching it at home...or wherever.

Before the movie, Michelle was in such a generous mood, that she offered to fork out half our pedicures! It was my first, by the way. It was just an express pedicure, which is shape and polish..so I'll probably do the classic one before Christmas!!:D

Tried Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks' Mee Sua for the first time. Heard many good reviews on it, but I didn't quite like it. But then again, I'm not a noodle or soup person, so I guess it just didn't suit my taste buds. Or perhaps we didn't add chili.

Oyster Mee Sua

Before entering the theater, we bought outside snacks to bring in. Shhh! It's illegal, but what can we do? They only have popcorn and boring tidbits:P

Two conepizzas, one squid tentacles(NOT testicles..as Mic and Reb always mispronounce.LOL) and CoolBlog drinks!

For some movie reviews, check this out! It's our new YouTube channel by the way:)

On Thursday, we made a somewhat spontaneous trip to City Square for a movie! But we didn't catch one in the end as we spent too much time eating at Seoul Garden.

We did, however, took a neoprint shot! It's a once in a bluemoon thing since it's quite costly and having too many would be just lame.

Ate freaking a lot of food! My stomach threatened to explode halfway through.LOL But Mic and Reb can really eat. Like really really eat.

Of course we took as much beef and chicken and prawns as we could, since those are the yummiest AND expensive-est!lol Hello, we paid RM85 okay!

Somehow among the three of us, Reb's the tannest.lol

Our nice-looking-but-disgusting-taste ice-cream!haha

At one point, Reb told me to quickly finish up my drink and I did. I wondered why, she took my cup and went over to the drinks section and came back with this.

Looks nice? No. It doesn't taste good at all!lmao

It tasted of diluted F&N Miranda with..I couldn't figure out the ice-cream taste, but since the only yellow ones available was mango and durian, either one. Till now I'm thinking why take my cup instead of her own=.=" lol

Anyway, exams are still on..and I don't know what I'm doing online. Okay, toodles!

Punjabi suit for Deepavali!

2011-10-27T20:17:00.000+08:00

Yesterday marks the first day of DEEPAVALI aka The Festival of Lights!!!...and DIWALI!! The former for Indians, while the latter for Punjabi people.

I've never been to Meat's house for Diwali because I was never invited....no lah, it's because most of the Diwalis will be spent at her grandmother's house, which will be really odd for me if I were to go there.lol

So, this year, my family went over to Michelle's best friend for 9 years, Nithiyah's house for good food! Yummy!! Last year we didn't get to go over because Michelle didn't come down from KL.

There! That's Nithiyah(in pink) and Lokini!

Oh, before if you haven't notice, Michelle, Rebecca and I wore Punjabi suits!! I got my top from the Deepavali Bazaar in town for RM28, pants was sewn yesterday morning itself by my mum's tailor friend! Nice? Nice? :D

Showing off my first pedicure!

It was a coincidence that the colour I chose matched my pantsXD

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, we sat in the hall and eat cookies!! Some are home-made, some are bought. Love the butter ones!! I can't show which one though..sorry!

Damn! I didn't take photos of the food. What we had was tosai, with extra ghee(which makes it's crispier)!! There's a few dishes, chicken curry, mutton, chicken with reddish sauce(I don't know what it's called)...and for desert, Nithiyah's first-time-home-made Red Ruby Dew!!

It's this watery desert with red pearls and some honeydew. I'm really not good at describing food, so I'll let Michelle do the job:P All I can say is, it's REAAAAALLY GOOD!

After dinner, Lokini lit some fireworks! The really pretty and big flowery ones!

and....that's all for our Deepavali! It's all about the good food!! Oh no, it's making me hungry now though I ate a super heavy lunch at Seoul Garden earlier:\

HAPPY DEEPAVALI & DIWALI to all celebrating and to my classmates, don't forget to bring cookies to school on Monday!XD

US Fever

2011-10-26T15:03:00.001+08:00

Besides the Korea trip my sisters are planning, I want to go to United States of America, in short, USA. I've been wanting to go there for quite some time, except that I don't have the money:(

So, it's probably once I've started working and earning my own money, or I scrimp and save till I have enough money for the air tickets(One way is RM1500, so times two), accommodation, food and transportation. And that's quite a sum!

I've listed down a few places, more like states that I plan to go or I want to go, so read on!

1) Los Angeles, California

Actually, I don't know what I'll be doing there, but there's Hollywood!! Not that I have dreams to be a star, but it's just so...tourist-spot-ish! So, that's a must-go. Considering the fact that the only international airport in the US is LAX, therefore I ranked this as the first place(or it can be the last).

the Walk of Fame!! Bet my neck will ache by the end of the walkway.lol

2) Texas

Okay, so maybe the rankings doesn't mean I'll go to which first, because I'll save the best for last:)

I had this friend, Neal from Texas. I don't remember which part anymore, I don't think it's Houston or Dallas. But I do remember his address having the word Orange Street. So anyway, I thought it'd be nice to meet up with a friend and tour around at the same time! Plus, Michelle knows him too..so it wouldn't be awkward.

But he got so busy with multiple jobs that we lost contact anyway*sigh*

Photo credits to David Kozlowski

There'd be cowboys with cowboy hats, blue jeans, guns, boots and that heavy accent. Sexayy. Okay, no, I'm not really into cowboys. I just like places that has their own identity..like in Universal Studios, you have different themed zone!

3) New York City

Mainly because it's known to be a shopper's paradise. But then again, I can only imagine designer goods on the left, right, across the street, in the backlanes..okay, maybe exaggerating a little, but still, I don't think I can afford anything there..and if I have that much cash and gave in to temptation, I might not be able to come back to Malaysia anymore:(

And seeing something you really like but you can't buy is plain torture! Nevertheless, the city looks beautiful at night with the bright and colourful billboards at Times Square!!

And watching movies with people crossing the streets there somehow makes me wanna be a pedestrian and cross the roads all day long, though I know I'll be killing my own feet.LOL

4) Orlando, Florida

.....for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!! It's so crazy! Not that I'm a big ass fan of the books or the movies, but I like the movies and a theme park based on it is insane!! I'm sorry, but I'm gonna put up tonnes of photos of it to tempt you, but bear with me and share the excitement!

common food you can get outside, but it's different when it's there!

This is a MUST-TRY! Both last photo credits to I Am... Stripped to Basics

Okay, and mayyybe I'd go to the Universal Studios right next to it too. Or maybe Disneyland in the same state(do they have one? I think they do) and get cutesy stuffs like this!

Not that I love popcorns like mad, but it's cute!

5) Minnesota

Yup, last but not least, and this is the 'keep the best for the last' part:)

So! Want to know why Minnesota? *In a squeaky tone* Beeeecause....Joe is thereeee*blush* Okay, I should stop or you guys will get goosebumps.LOL

What's there to do in Minnesota? We've all hear things about different states in the US like New York there's the Statue of Liberty, Hawaii has beaches..and where's that sitting statue of Abraham Lincoln? Okay, you get the point.

Well, I don't know what's in Minnesota, but I do know..(okay, I'm not gonna repeat that Joe sentence)..that the largest mall in the US is situated there- The Mall of America!!

OMG! I was just checking out their website and there's like LEGO, Nickelodeon Universe and Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium, which is the entire basement of the mall(according to Joe).

They should make this underwater, then only will it be a pineapple under the seaXD

Photo credits to Jake Richter

Enough about the mall. Other than the mall, there's parks..with Yogi Bears.lol

Okay, that's not the point. The point is him. And that's where I idea of a perfect date comes in. By the way, there's nothing between the both of us..but I'm just saying out of perasaness or syok sendiriness.heh

It shall be a whole day event thing, skip washing up and breakfast. We'll spend the day at the theme park because I love theme parks!

We'll leave in the evening. Then we'll go back home and....talk and we'll eat home-cook dinner!! because I think he cooks pretty well*melts*! or..take-away food.lol

and to end the day, we'll look at stars. Awww...

Oh! Oh! I know there's digital cameras and photoshopping softwares, but nothing beats having pictures like these taken!

Sooooo cute isn't it!!

It'll be taken in a photo-taking machine and it'll be printed out!:)

I'm not the fancy-posh restaurant type..it's expensive and boring. What are you gonna do? Stare at each other, cutting the food in a lady-like manner, smile? That spells awkward silence for me.lol

Mooooose!

If you notice I didn't include any beaches in this post, it's because well, beaches are nice too..but I don't go sun tanning, neither do I wear bikinis..so it's an optional option. Unless! The excuse to go is hot guys:P

I sooooo wanna go there!!!!!

Extreme Narcissism

2011-10-23T14:47:00.000+08:00

Urbandictionary.com. I bet most of you have typed in your name and see what random people think about its meaning. I, for one, am no different:P

I actually did it a long time ago, but didn't had the time to post it up here...so time for some narcissism!

1) An exotically splendid name for people of the female gender(Reaaaally..) The name is given to children who display unparalleled beauty and intelligence. The name has also been known to be given to children that display Goddess-like qualities that surpass all mortal knowledge(Woah! That's bit exaggerated).

That child, who is named Naomi, is perfect in all ways.

2) A gorgeous girl who usually hides lots of secrets inside her. She sometimes has low-self esteem, but she'll always be there for you if you need her(So true!). She chooses her best friends over her boyfriends, and has a great sense of fashion. She usually falls for skater-scene rebel boys(used to, but not anymore...we don't have those in JB.LOL). She's very humorous, and she loves laughing(OMG! TrueX100!). She wants to be everyone's friend. She loves alternative music, but will enjoy going to most concerts. Naomi is usually a daredevil, and is willing to take on any dare. However, she's also very smart, and loves helping the world.
Boy 1: "Man, i wish i could go out with a Naomi!"
Boy 2: "Keep wishing."

3) A friend who you can rely on to always be there and care. Sometimes said person can be a bit flakey but once reminded, get's back on track. She knows when she needs to be serious and as soon as that moment has gone, she lets out her "I wana par-tay" side again(Heh you got that right! Except...I don't party. *looks around* Awkward).

4) A very beautiful name for beautiful woman. 'I moan' backwards(I know, what the heck, right?). Pronounced 'Nay oh me' or 'Ny Oh me'. Usually Nay oh me but some gits pronounce it wrong.
My name is Naomi!! Oh and I don't moan...?

This particular number reminds me of this schoolmate who(I still can't differentiate the difference between 'who' and 'whom', but I'll settle for 'who':)), at one point had this craze over spelling people's name backwards..and I was an unlucky victim because she did mine and got a really bad outcome and I was just like "...*small fake laugh*" walk away.

Also, most people around me, both friends and family pronounce my name the Japanese way- Na Oh Mi. I know it's the wrong, but I'm pretty much used to it, considering the fact that I've been called that way since I was born.LOL

5)1. the mother-in-law of Ruth and the great-grandmother of David.
2. a female given name: from a Hebrew word meaning “pleasant.”

This! Is where my name came from..but I don't really like the fact that in the Bible, I'm an old woman=.="

6) The girl that is fucking sweet and loving(Woah..no need for the vulgarities..though it's to describe in a more exaggerated manner.lol)! She will always cheer you up whenever you are mad or sad! She will complete you(reminds me of Jackson from Hannah Montana!LOL) and love you everyday 24/7! She will be nice and loving if you are nice and loving to her back! She is very funny And sexii!!!!! Ahh She is daring and will tell you everything:D

I'm not too sure about the sexy part, I've never actually considered myself sexy.LOL Well, that's because my definition of sexy and hot to be someone like Megan Fox.

7) A very pretty girl who is a good dancer and very flexible. Usually has dirty blonde hair. Very nice but can turn her back on you at times. A true friend though. Very funny and crazy. Can obsess over things at times but still is amazing.

The first two sentences does not fit me though. I can't dance and I have black hair. But then again, it's written "usually"..so *shrugs*

Before I end my narcissism, here's one more, but it's about the month I'm born in.

MARCH= GORGEOUS

Drop dead gorgeous!!! Attractive personality. Very sexy!! Affectionate and secretive. Naturally honest, generous and sympathetic. Chatterbox! Loves to talk alot! Loves to get their way! Unbelievable kisser! Easily angered. Very stubborn in the most way possible! Loves to get noticed! Willing to take risks for others. Makes good choices. Has a great fashion sense! Maybe a little too popular with others. Outgoing and crazy at times! Intelligent. Can sometimes be a heartbreaker! Can love as much as possible! Hates insults. Loves compliments! and quite the charmer. Trustworthy. Appreciative and returns kindness. The best in bed out of the other 11 months!! Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Observant and assesses others. Likes to keep their crushes kinda secret. Pretty much flawless.

Wow! Most of it is absolutely true... actually they're all true, except I wouldn't know about the kisser and the bed fact.LOL I do tend to bottle up my feelings but these days, half of it is dumped on TwitterXD

Okay, I know it's super narcissist of me to actually write this AND highlight some words.LOL But let's just say I know what I'm capable of*flicks hair*
