Books n books

2nd time blogging in..
woke up late..cos i watched vcds late into d early morning..
linda cousin msg me asking me if i wanna go to expo for the warehouse book sale n i said yes.. afterall, i might be able to get some gr8 books at a cheap price..
N i did found some books tat i liked..5 bks at a price of $20..cheap hah? :)
linda cousin was supposed to have inspection though..(working)
did she sneak out? nah, her work was scheduled at 5pm. So, right after we bought the books, she headed for inspection..rather near her place..
Just perfect, timing i meant.. linda cousin is always thoughtful~ :)

N i was so hungry..havent had breakfast or lunch yet..
bought ribena n noodles on my way back..
i need to go on diet le.. grandmother keeps saying its not gd..(me being my size now)
haiz..gotta start to exercise more n eat less fatty food~
At the same time, can save up for my hk trip while spending less on food...
Yup~my goal for now!

part3 of kl trip

Okie..shant write too much abt sunday's events..not much..

We had breakfast at klcc.."secret recipe"..were the first customers dere..
hot chocolate was sweet n my salad was light.. i chose a light meal cos when i saw the menu, it simply puts me off...pasta n all..too heavy for breakfast right..
Shopped at "qu chong" street..went to this regular stall tat sells gd imitations..(LV, burberry, gucci.......)My fifth aunt buys things so easily..n loves to buy from dere..

For lunch, had chicken rice at this famous small restaurant..the workers dere were so anxious n worked up while serving(no idea y)..by looking at them, one will get nervous too..
Luckily, i escaped from having to sit with my grandma's sis...or else..she will pick my food for me again..n it will be disastrous~

bus fare was cheaper back home..bought in malaysia ma..plus we didnt manage to book the tickets of the coach we took when we came to kl..so, gotta tahan a bit with a not tat gd bus..
My niece michelle, certainly caught everyone's attention by singing very loudly(lipsync) on the bus.. cos pauline cousin borrowed sis's mp3 player n was listening to jolin's songs...so naturally, michelle got hold of the other end of the ear piece n sang ......
Not bad lo..enjoyed her company very much..brightens one's day!
She calls me "xiao xiao ah yi" (small small aunt) , then changed to "xiao xiao" (like olden times, tv characters names), now..my sis asked her to call me "xiao yi" cos when i'm all grown up..it will sound odd to call me small small aunt. I felt weird n not used to it...yet michelle kept calling n calling...nevertheless, i cant think of a better name for her to call me.. watever lo~

reached singapore at abt 10 pm plus..
Was so tired..but still had to unpack my stuff...
I was thinking tat night...how wonderful my weekend was in kl...meeting up with relatives..shopping n joking ard with cousins..simply felt fortunate to have them~
I'm easily satisfied...god pls keep it this way..

part 2 of KL trip

pardon me if my entry sounds like a narrative story..(still cant get out of my usual writing method)

Sat 23/4

Abt 6 am plus, everyone was awaken by d voices in d room where my two aunts were at..
Urgh~ imagine them both chatting tat early in d morning...haiz..unfortunately, even when i closed the door tat links both rooms, i can still hear one of their voice...
no choice, gotta wake up then~

Slowly, one by one..we got changed n make up...
Then, we met up with cousin de sister-in-laws, mother-in-law at the lobby.
Decided to have breakfast at klcc's food court.
It was abt 5-10 mins walk dere...gosh~ its really sunny n hot..
ah nee(they called her, cousin's younger sister-in-law) lead us.. so the younger ppl like me n cousin they all walked in front while d rest..aunts they all walked much slower..behind.
D traffic light tat signal pedestrian crossing was so~ slow...we had to jaywalk!
Was reprimanded by d older adults though..hehe...

Food court dere was not crowded at all..simply empty..
i settled on egg sandwich n orange juice for breakfast..cousin had tuna sandwich..others ate nasi lemak(delicious, i tried a bit), laksa, noodle soup....
Looked at map~then, headed off to lot10 to shop..
vicci n nose (shoes shop) was less crowded...saw some lovely office wear heels..cousin bought two~ well, also shop at isetan...(in MNG) some clothes r cheaper while some r d same as compared to singapore's.
Walked ard~ marriot hotel..nice n classy. some other shopping centres..quite alright..
Malaysia's kfc chicken was known to be much better than singapore's..superb.
Our lunch was tat at klcc.
Soon, it was already 3 pm plus..walked back to our hotel n had a shower n rest before going to my uncle's place where he will bring us to d restoran(d one we had dinner yesterday)..

Needless to say, everyone dressed themselves up prettily..
I was giddy by d time d cab driver drove us to our destination near my uncle's house...
Luckily, it wasnt tat long a journey..phew~
Finally, got to see my first uncle's place..hmm..neat!
When i saw cousin guang n his wife(from thailand), i was delighted..*figures* immediately asked him thru d window if he remembers me>? Of course he does.. jus tat i've grown up since d last time we saw each other..7-8 yrs ba~
Shook hands n congratulated both of them!
We stayed for a little while n then, with 2 cars..uncle's n my dad's..they drove us to the restoran.
They had to drive dere n back cos dere's too many ppl le..

Arrived at d same restoran again in two nights..but the atmosphere was different..
n of cos..its a wedding dinner!
Sat with sis, cousins n aunts.. food was still gd..had drinks~ to celebrate!
Can still remember our table "yam seng" d loudest 3 times~ all women shouting at the top of our voices, perhaps cos we wanted to win d first table who shouted which was where my dad sat at....wee..we're winners!
Also took lots of pixs.. with cousins..meijuan..
Third aunt was so funny...actually she loved to sing..n when "da gu" asked her to sing, she went forward so readily..steady right? She sang very well...we tot she will stop after one song..but she continued singing...
Dad sang too! "xiao gu" was very engrossed in her singing too...so cousinlinda de sister-in-law suggested we calling out her name cheering " wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni "...
N she returned d grace with a pose tat broke us all in laughter~
Guang cousin was very nice..always coming over to pat my head, asking me to eat more...(am i like a kid to him?) Its understandable la..cos its been so long since he saw us(cousins living in singapore)

Cousin Meijuan n her dad drove us back to d hotel.. well, i liked her a lot cos she's so so nice(no words can describe) i sat in d front seat while cousin n her sister-in-laws behind.. listened to j lo's songs in her car.. find tat she's really cool~ has twins n still can work..as a..er..involves in photoshoots..not quite sure how to say..heard tat she works with big shots~famous artistes ba..
Thruout d way back to hotel, she told us abt some gr8 places to hang out..pubs,shopping centres(names don remember le..gosh!) Anyway, even b4 reachin d hotel..i kinda already missed not seeing them(relatives in kl) They're simply wonderful ppl~

Back in my hotel room..i wanted to be d first to bathe so i could sleep early..its been a long day.. but i was even more sober after d bath..haiz..tv was showing julia roberts n catherine-zeta jones movie..so we watched n chatted until we were all tired..n did i mention my sister n pauline cousin n her daughter michelle arrived only earlier in the afternoon(my dad's fren drove them to kl) while "xiao gu" who was initially sharing d room with me n lindacousin, left for genting with my dad n others.. My sis was so chatty i had to stop her by saying "okie, to round up, gd nite!" n then she said she was afraid...wanted me to hold her hands while we sleep...poor me.. i held her only for like 3 mins then i ignore her le..(how mean am i>? Lol)
Kinda hard to fall asleep while holding hands with her when she's sleeping on d extra bed below..
Hee...sorry~ sis

i'm rather longwinded..n lazy..so d entry abt events on sun shall be d next n not in this..

i miss my mum..gonna go look for her these days~

KL Trip

This entry's gonna be very very long...
Gonna write abt my trip to kl...

left singapore for kl on fri morning at 8am..
The coach(1st class de) was comfortable...d seats were at d upper decker, while d lower deck was toilet(only urinating allowed) n resting area for food n drinks...
Pretty cool..
I sat with my aunt..she needs company everytime..ya..
I've always got motion sickness..so i ate chewable medicine n had naps thruout d journey..
Without stopping, d coach arrived in kl in 4 n a half hr...
I was really excited(perhaps cos its my 1st time in kl) when i saw d buildings n all...

The whole bunch of us: me,3 aunts,cousin linda n her sister-in-laws plus mother in law stayed in renaissence(may have spelt wrongly) hotel except for my grandma n her sis who went over to
stay with my aunt who lives in kl...
The rooms were gr8..gotta be since its 5 star~
there were even an iron n d iron board..lol..cant believe it..
well, it was put into gd use though..

My aunt n uncle brought us to "qu chong" street dere for wanton noodle n roast duck...
rate d noodles 100marks..roast duck was just as gd~
Off to klcc(shopping mall) next for some shopping...
Bought a lovely mickey t-shirt - Rm$79 at a certain shop(cant remember the name)
The stuff sold there are so cool~ disney characters design of clothes,shoes,wallets...many more
cousin linda suggested i should buy d shoes...pink shoes
i wanted too badly~ not enough money n didnt wan to borrow fr them..haiz...
At abt 6pm..
It was pouring heavily~thunders everywhere
eww..i felt sticky fr d wet air!

We fetched a cab who charged us rm$30 to a place
(restoran dere..uncle giving welcoming dinner treat)
cousin bargained to 20..driver said 25..n still no..we did not take d ride...
there were 8 of us..so we took 2 cabs..i was in d first cab with my 3 aunts...
Guess wat that took us all in frustration>?
We arrived at d place abt 1 n a half hr later....horrible!!!
noe y? D roads were too congested during that period n d Rain^ tat causes flooding on droads...d driver drove us to "xiao lu" n it was way too jam...
we were stuck on that stretch of road for almost 45 mins!
I was like "HaH~" when d driver said tat we need another one hr before we can reach.. when its Already one hr on d journey..pissed off ah~
Seriously, i think kl govt should do sth abt it like building canals or drains to drain off the rain water...Too much!!
cab fare amounted to rm34 all too much...
d other cab cousin took was only 28..
Goodness,..d diff..

Freezing at d restoran..borrowed cousin's shawl..
Drank red wine to keep warmth in myself~
I was so embarrassed cos my relatives keep commenting on my face blushing red due to d red wine...jus like my uncle..
My aunt sacrificed herself to sit beside "lao yi"..she's very unhygenic..gross!
imagine her using her chopsticks to poke at every piece of chicken till no one dares to eat~
n she likes so much to serve for us...yucks..i gotta eat d noodles she got for me...
All in all~ i was so bloated...
My uncle was so generous! when my cousin replied to him tat the desserts(small fried bao with nian rong) was delicious..he immediately ordered another plate..yet no one was able to eat le..
Kinda like stuffing ourselves...
His intentions were kind though
Saw my other cousin's daughter whom was extremely active n naughty who doesnt give a damn to anyone...
Not like my cousin at all..who is gentle n nice..
Practically everyone cant stand her...she pinches n pulls all the guy adults who is near her...
I think my cousin gotta pay extra attention to her..
pretty scary d way she treats ppl...

Cab fare back to d hotel was cheaper definitely..no more rain..rm$10
cousin said i walked so fast ahead in front of them when we arrived back at d hotel...but it was only natural.. (could be my instinct of walking fast whenever i'm returning home)
except..it's my hotel room..Lol..

tat night, i slept on d extra bed..
one of my aunt was so timid tat she even wants to sleep in with my other aunt in d single bed when there was another bed available..
Eventually, when we thought she would fall asleep last... i heard a vibrating sound..n thought it was hp..
hehe..my aunt was snoring at the other room le.. it was linked
to my room tat i shared with my cousin linda n "xiao gu"..
LoL..enjoyed d day..
Was wondering wat we're gonna do d next day before d wedding dinner...
as i listened to mp3, i fell asleep...

Shall continue abt sat n sun's events in d next entry cos it's too long...

Finally~

pm figurine 

A day to remember~

Its been a while since i had such a relaxing day...
Kinda reminds me of my sec sch days in sec 1 n 2..where i would usually be very alone n out shopping or just having a very simple day...jus too calm n all~
I guess i'm d only one who knows how it feels like...practically not toking to anyone d whole day.

I woke up at 10 am plus...n saw my messy table..
So, started to tidy up..clear all unwanted stuff n arranged neatly...including my big cupboard tat is attached to the ceiling...
After i was satisfied with all~ i vacumm n mop my room..
Also tidied my wardrobe..
I guess i'm my own maid..

I did not have any plans to go out today...till
i remembered i havent collect my free precious moments figurine tat comes along if i'm a member of pm collectors' club...
Yea, also..thought of buying some books for my cousin, calvin...
N off i went to bishan..
Wat a long journey=(
But... i got my reward..which was d lovely pm figurine..
pic will be shown...

I went for a walk at the pandan reservoir very nearby...the weather was gr8..
N i was listening to music n strolling casually...n when i looked up the sky...
I noticed dark clouds were covering part of the sunset...n i finally realised wat it meant by "streaks of sunlight"..
Though d sunlight were partly covered..it still manage to shine out streaks of light..it's so magnificent~ cos its not just one..but many together fanlike shape...
Really loved the sky..its always filled with surprises! The shape of d clouds n d colour of the sky definitely bring out the beauty!!

Gr8 Weekend n Fo0D

My weekend was fabulous!!
Considering the fact tat i've jus finished my exams...n i'd probably told a zillion ppl abt it n how delighted i am..YEA~
Also, had a haircut n coloured my hair..darker ash brown..on sat..
Went to paragon next after tat..with cousin n my 2 aunts n niece for tea break..
Gotta say d "xiao long bao" were so delicious n juicy tat it wasnt enough until we ordered two basket(total of 20)..
Right after tat, we headed off to joo chiat place fer d famous black pepper crab as suggested by my niece's mum, who came n join us dere...
Needless to say, d crabs were gd~ worth queueing up for even when its raining..

As usual, tat night i stayed over at my aunt's place at joo chiat with my 2 cousins, niece n aunt.
We devoted d night to movies!..I named it "Movie Night" (common name indeed)
1st movie: Shall we dance? 2nd: Stepford Wives
Well, actually both movies i'd watched it already...but my cousins havent..
BUt i still enjoyed d movies~
My aunt is so cute! She poured just pure absolut vodlka on the rocks n asked us to finish up(no more sprite or coke available)....n my cousin who finally cant stand it created d new version of drink..`just tea wi vodlka~` Can u believe this? tea with alcohol..lol~
Well, without hesitating i tried..n it was nice! Definitely better than having our tongues burned fr 40% vodlka..

The winner ought to be me n my cousin linda who didnt lose to sleepy monster~ cos everyone was knocked out fr d 2 movie marathon before it ended except us..

The next day, went shopping n eating again.. d kway teow noodle soup at parkway parade is superb~ bookstores at 20% discount..lots of gr8 books i wanna buy.
D restaurant beside mos burger at taka serves wonderful cheese oreo crunch cake~

In the night, after i got home..immediately..went out again wi auntie(nikki's mum) to siem reap~
zhan ke arrived later.. Ash recommended us lots of good drinks..like vodlka lime(love sour)..n one of his speciality..winner drink called "purple rain"..
N i also got a bit of bad news which almost spoiled my day...no meaning to mention..haiz..

tired now..gonna recharge..till then..

Lets recall~

Last Fri(8/4)

Had my first paper..psychology test at 16 30..

Went well..at least i tot..

Then, nikki's mum came to pick me up..n off we were fer "boozing" session as quoted fr nikki. Most ppl will definitely scold me..cos its "suppposedly" not rite to enjoy when i'm still in d midst of my exam..yea~i'm really too much!

Boozing session was fun! we took pics, ate, drank, played...

I didnt drink much..cos i know i din wanna puke.. anyway..it was jus enough to keep my spirits high... some of d events tat happen tat nite was rather crazy...well-> picture me getting pushed down d table..not funny..i was angry cos my fav blue jacket was dirtied by tat..

n reached home abt 1 plus am..

Sat(9/4)

Gotta wake up early to pay respects(don know how i should phrase it) to my ah gong at d temple..its been a long while since i last went.

After tat, met up wi my cousin linda n her mum at Plaza sing..we had a western feast in mind so d idea was to buy some stuff fr carrefour n cook it ourself..each of us in charge of one dish..

Bought vege fer salad..pizza to bake, brownies, ice cream, noodles fer pasta...n lots more...

I remembered going wi my cousin into precious moments shop n looking at d pretty alarm clocks..(shall buy it someday soon)..d melodies were nice...

Cousin linda had a gr8 bargain.....bought some gd selling books at a price of 5-8 dollars fer one bk when it actually cost 30 plus..yep..it still looks new though it's warehouse sale... She lent me 2 bks..n i already read one of them called "why men lie n women cry". Its interesting d way everything written was so true n real..abt y men n women do this n tat..how to deal wi it..to make a realtionship work..

Then, heading to my third aunt's place...only me n cousin prepared n cooked d dishes...cos d adults were busy playing mahjong...

I prepared salad..decorating it nicely...boil d noodles...other minor stuff..like cutting ham n all.. Cousin cooked d sauce for pasta...baked d garlic bread n pizza(mushroom n ham n hawailian)..

I'm pleased wi how d food turns out considering its our 1st time at it...esp me..(all my hardwork in it lei)..It was very delicious esp d salad!!! Yummy~! It was romantic as we dine at the rooftop..with d view n weather fitting in all so well...blue sky..sunset..woh~ Then all of a sudden, those rain flies disturbed everything..flying ard us n d food... So we went back into d house to finish up d food...

As usual, adults continued wi mahjong session while me n cousin cleared up~ Even mopped d floor..man..i'm hardworking~ Lol..kiddin..nothing to do..so helped out lo...

At night, me n cousin went down to d poolside..n rested dere..chatted n enjoying d cool breeze~ How Relaxing~

Later into d night...we two n aunts had drink session..also ate brownies.. I drank a lot of vodlka tat night...know y...?

Partly becos, i'm happy... n also i was pouring out all my problems to them...(i started to realise a lot of things...y i'm mean to my dad..n all....) n tats y..d more i say..d more i drink(thirsty..hehe) I cried tat night while telling them abt my feelings...i jus cant control my tears... I'm so glad they were wi me..n understood me! they offered me advices...tat i should try to change my thinking n behaviour...n now i finally realised how my parents divorce had so gr8 an impact on me... i even repressed myself for 2-3 yrs. When i was telling them..i could literally feel a big rock of burden in my chest..slowly letting off......>?

Wanna say i'm so thankful to all those who helped me thru~ in watever matters, fr emotional support to informational support! My frens..cousin, aunts.. without them..i wouldnt be able to be positive n happy~..still trying hard to be so.. ya..I LOved Them!!!!

reminder only

Hm..just in case i forget.. kinda stupid

Wanna remind myself to update some events happening on last week..(fri, sat,sun)
Just figured it will be nice to recall~
Two more papers to go~ Jia Yoou~
N looking forward to enjoy..

Till then.

Sleep Spoiled

I'm pretty sure i would have slept till like 12 plus in d noon if only i was not awaken by my grandma's very loud voice...^pout my lips in disgust^

As usual, every single morning..if she is at my house..she will be on d phone either toking to her frens or her daughters abt the events recently(discussing again n again)..gossiping? nah..

N wat i hate most is tat she smokes! Argh~ how could i possibly study fer my exams in such an environment>? perhaps i'm over-reacting..but pls allow me to grumble a bit~

I've even thought of a gr8 IDEA! Like putting up big notes on my room's door saying " Everyone Stay Clear..esp Wicked Ppl with Loud Voice~ A bookworm Studying In Process!"
LOL~ tat will be so cool..haiz,.....prob is, will they understand english? my dad can. but others..wurtever..who cares fer them..esp wicked ppl..hmphz!

In case anyone who sees my blog doesnt have one tiny winy idea who that wicked person is, it is a she. A total horrible stranger who lives in my house.....

Well, enough of it.. yesterdae, went out wif sijie,adel n june..sort of gathering i guess.. we had fish n co near plaza sing..n it was raining..so we stayed in there for like 2 hrs or so..freezing cold dere..

Also, shopped at plaza sing..then walked to heeren..cineleisure...back home..(not much, yet so tired) Got a bracelet at wisma isetan, neon yello or green sandles at heeren, choc chip cookie at marks n spencer n the relaxing classics 2 cd at sembawang. Just a few stuff n i'm quite broke..

The most interesting stuff we did was to go to spotlight in ps, n get a ribbon string to tie at sijie's portfolio file's zip..n use it as a handle...so she can hang it on her shoulder instead of carrying it with her hand...A creation by sijie..adel ba..
Poor Sijie gotta carry the big file ard shopping..all becos her lecturer wans her to collect her file in sch by yesterday...luckily fer that, we manage to catch her designs(she's in interior design course, don play play)...her work was pretty n cool~

Of course, if it was me..i wouldnt even be able to pass..yup,my drawing..

Goodness, i'm so ashamed of myself..haven started studying...deserve a beating..^piat^
off to study..

Rain Day

Had a 2 hr revision lecture today earlier in noon at sch..was alright..funny though that d lecturer was giving lecture in d theatre i was in..yet thru a video conference thingy students sitting in the lecture next door can also hearn see d lecture. Woh~cool ha! wanna have the high-tech device some day!

Almost got my billabong shorts wet while walking to sch..n damn it! Its not my fault alright..some stupid driver was speeding along n happily helped d puddle of acid rain onto my legs n my newly bought addidas white bag. Luckily, it wasnt that wet..or else i would have cursed him...~

after sch, i met up with laishan n peishi n serene to get iren's present. Its been quite some while since i last met up with laishan..lol..so we kinda said some mushy stuff..like miss me not> okie i know its rather gross..watever..love them..

Oh ya, i even told them d incident abt the tremor i felt when i was abt to sleep at 12 am plus on that night of sumatra earthquake..ya, believe it or not..my block Actually Shook~ Gosh!
Shant write much abt the details...it has to be described thru me in person..ya only then can one experience it..ermx, laishan n peishi was laughing n giggling..i don noe y?

They said it was becos of my facial expression when i described d incident..
I had dinner at my gram's place(luv d soup n fried egg)
peishi n serene was also there..we were looking thru my childhood photos(1 or 2 yr)..esp those where my black hair was standing n curving like willy's fin in d movie "free willy".
I gotta admit i really am cute! hahaha..bhb
