Damn I really don't know where to start; really.
Yes I do realize it's a Tuesday and it's been ages since my last -short & pathetic- post. =)
But I'll make it up to you guys with a long post with loads of pictures (which costed me my beauty sleep, & which you would have to pay by something of my fancy).

On Wednesday, Mom, XiaoWen and I headed down to KL with Uncle Raymond driving. ~~Thank God he didn't let Mom drive. Phew.~~ We weren't traveling alone though; Mr Lim, Uncle Peter and Jolynn followed in another car.
We reached KL after an almost-seven hour drive. And we only reached with the help of the GPS system. Thank God for technology.
Allan picked us up from the hotel Mom & company were staying at, and we headed for a midnight movie, Balls Of Fury in Sunway Pyramid. In my honest opinion, it was -no doubt- hilarious but definitely not cinema material. More like plain comedy with a pinch of action in it. We stayed at PeiWen's condo and decided to meet Mom & Co. at the stadium the next day. By the time we reached, it was 2am-ish. Washed up, had (extremely late) supper, and talked on the phone till 4am+.

The next day, we woke up at 12pm+, and headed down to One U for some shopping. Didn't buy as much as expected, as we had to leave at 3pm+. Had controversies in the car, and ended up at Malawati Stadium at around 7pm, no thanks to delays and wonderful KL traffic.
You could feel the excitement and anticipation buzzing in the air with the estimated 11,000 turn up. It was amazing. Bought the costly tennis magazine, which was apparently your one way ticket to meeting Federer & Sampras in person if you're lucky. But what are the odds of me getting it, so nope, I didn't.
There were performances by the cultural arts team, and also JACLYN VICTOR!

Then the players came on court. I was starstruck by Fed, he looked hotter in person than on tv :D Haha.
And when the MC asked him will he be coming back to Malaysia, he said YES. And I cheered.
That wasn't the problem. It was the ONLY cheer. So you can imagine me going "Wooooooo!", then silence. Not a very nice situation, especially when your whole row is staring at you. Oh well. =)

During the national anthems.

I WAS standing up right. -cough- :)

Some of the 11,000 people.

Normally I would without hesitation say that FedEx is gonna win the match, but last Thursday it really was insane. Sampras with his KILLER serve, could just beat Federer using serve winnings, as they (the serves) were so difficult to read that night.
"He played some unbelievable shots, but then again he is capable of doing that." - Roger Federer.
There was one moment in the middle of the match when the crowd was getting all psyched and cheering for their respective players, and suddenly this dude shouted "GO NADALLLL!" . Everyone went quiet for a moment and started laughing their asses off. I reckon the dude was either drunk or very lost.

The scoreboard says it all!

The oh-so-Malaysian prize presentation.

Players with the Agong, who looks extremely tiny here.

Federer; The Man. :D

XiaoWen, Mom, me.
We look so high and drunk. Dang.

After the match.

Picture says it all. Bhahaha.

Well, we left after everyone left and gathered outside the stadium, waiting for the car and everything. Suddenly found myself talking to two Federer fans, a KL schooling girl named Alea, and some engineer-photographer guy whom I forgot to ask the name.

Me, Mom, XiaoWen (with the giant RM49 tennis ball), Alea, Allan.

OH, before I forget, I stepped on the accelerator for the first time that night. Allan's car. It was amazing.
Then we went for supper with the uncles, Mom, Jolynn and Christine.
OH OH, and also after the game finished, and everyone left the stadium, I received a text msg from YaoChang, "Hey munchkins, I think I sat behind you throughout the whole game." I was like double-you-tee-eff?! Damn that guy. And the people behind me were cheering for Sampras throughtout the whole game, so.. Rawrr, Yao. -turns on heels and struts off- ;)
Reached the condo at like 2am again. Slept at almost 5am. Bleh.
Woke up at noon, and went to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with Mom & Co.
Had lunch, and met up with Sam, who was late because he got lost driving around KL. Smart ass. :P It was good to spend time with him, after so long. Uhm, okay about 2-3 months. Heh. I do tend to exaggerate.

Our almost finished Baskin Robbins.

XiaoWen GPS-ing our way around Malaysia. NOT.
Was playing Solitaire the whole time. She's bloody good.

We headed back to Penang at 4.30pm, and reached at midnight-ish. Short but fun-filled trip.

Anyway it's like 3am, so I better get some sleep.
Have got cheer practice at 7.30am tomorrow, and my whole body aches due to yesterday's 4 hour dance practice.

4 big performances coming up,
cheer practices 3 times a week,
dance practice everyday,
caroling practice tomorrow,
Abigail's farewell party tomorrow,
ShuMei's farewell-sleepover on Thursday to Friday,
dance practice & SNL on Saturday,
Jared, KhangYang and Jan's hiking trip on Sunday,
& Maureen and Joanna asked me to teach dance to a CLASS.
I can't TEACH DANCING! :O

What happened to my relaxed holiday plan?
Backfired.
Greaaaaat.
:D
