Drama Trip.

I'm back from KL!
Supposedly back tomorrow, but the travel agent called Mom and told her that my passport expired, and that we had to get it renewed by tomorrow. So we rushed home early this morning in order to collect my renewed passport by today.

Reached home and got everything we needed and drove to town to get it done. But the woman said I needed my birthcert, which was weird because it's just renewing and not making a whole new passport altogether. So we got back home and got my birthcert. But I couldn't find it. It's supposed to be with Mom, but I finally recalled that I took it out cause I thought I couldn't find my IC during the first day of SPM. Seriously, I can be so stupid sometimes.
So Mom and Dad helped me to find all over the house. Geez. Then Mom found it :D Yay Mom. The worst thing is that they didn't give me a lecture or anything, and kept saying it's okay. I'm still deeply buried in guilt.
So we reached the imigration office and got everything done. MY PASSPORT PHOTO LOOKS HIDEOUS, oh goodness :S
Finally had lunch at 5pm, I was starvinggg, seriously. And in the sweltering heat, I tell you, damn tak boleh okay.

[Oh, I'm going to Taiwan this coming Monday. I know, random. Haha decided last minute to have a vacation although I have loads of things to do back here in Penang. And since it was so last minute, we could only get flight and tour for Taiwan. Haha I've never been there, so it's all good. Met Uncle Aw that day and he invited us to travel together to Turkey and Egypt next year. Looking forward to it! :] Anyways, this means I won't be able to go for the IB scholarship exam, which sucks, since I've been looking forward to showing off my ridiculously amazing Mathematics skills taking the papers.]
________________________________

My trip to KL was.. fast paced, if anything. Picked my sisters up from their houses and checked into Boulevard Hotel, Mid Valley. 10 minutes of settling down later, off we went for tea at Secret Recipe. Mom and I skipped tea and started off our shopping spree! We only shopped for 2 hours, and that was only the ground floor. Managed to buy shoes and a discounted top though. Haha seriously, the whole KL is on sale? *imagines KL city with a huge SALE tag hanging on it* :O :O Haha right. So anyways, had dinner with Uncle Wang at some Taiwanese restaurant (the irony, lol).
Got back to the hotel, and washed up and had a well deserved good night's sleep. Ahhhh. In the morning, went for breakfast with Dad, and left for Penang!

Note: Wow, my post is so not chronologically arranged :\ Apologies! :)

A STAR IS BORN
Sunday, October 26, 2008

XiaoWen's 20th birthday! :)
Went to Victoria Station. Haven't been there before , haven't even heard of it :\ Hehh.

Sucha cute train, no? We were so amused :P HAHA.

Love them to bits!

This is her very rad cake :D
How often do you celebrate with a flaming cake with liquor? :P


70's telephone booth! :P

FOOD:




My Prime Rib. Grr it was so tough at first. So I told the waiter to ask the chef to make it more well done. So they gave me a new one, with tender and chewable meat. Haha my meat should always be chewable, not chewy! :P Lol yes, I am a fusspot :D

"Kai, stop flirting with the dude!"
HAHA I SO WASN'T OKAY *scoff* :P :P HAHAHAH I really wasn't! :P

*chomps off rose* :P HAHA.

She's so pretty :D :D Heh.

After dinner, went to Secret Recipe to buy her a cake! Wheee :)
She actually went down to buy it, and she paid for it first, which is actually quite sad.
That's what I told her "DUDE, buying your own birthday cake is morally wrong in every way"
HAHA I chose the cake says though :P :P
OLDILOCKS! HAHAHA :D

Thanks for always being there for me, your random txt msgs and IMs, your bubbly-ness, your saying "Why why why why whyyyyy!" when I cry and just sitting beside me on my bed and listen to all my silly rubbish I ramble into my pillow and you actually can't hear anything, helping me make cards for others, driving me to the opposite ends (a few times in one day) of Penang just because I want to, etc.
Most of all, thanks for being you.
I love you so much, ErJie.

Take me away
Thursday, October 02, 2008

I know. Haven't been posting up anything for a long time. Bahh even my readers have dropped from 80+ to like.. a measly 30. Hahah apologiesss! :(

Holidays!
Time to crash study I suppose. This guilt in me is just.. overwhelming! Have been bumming at home, reading rubbish romance novels which my sister got me from KL.

Parents left for HongKong on Friday. But my sisters came home on Sunday! :D Brought back their two guy friends from KL. Monarchy over my study room! Haha but at last they went to overnight at the new house, so all is good (: Eldest sis went back to KL, while XiaoWen is still in Penang! Such joy to be around her, really. And I'm saying that not just she drives us anywhere we want, buy us (almost) anything we want,.. yeah ;) Haha.

MONDAY
Went out with sis the whole day to run errands. No easy task! Had to go 'consult' Dad's secretary for help, as we didn't know err.. Anything. Damn, sounded so bimbotic. But seriously, it's no easy task paying water bills and everything! (: Went to the post office to send a parcel to a friend, but the dude there was no help at all. So got help from Dad's secretary again. She saves the day all the time :P


YESTERDAY; TUESDAY.
Went out with Dan. Watched 3 movies in a row!
All the ones I haven't watched. Reruns, two of em. Only RM5! ;)

I (finally) watched The Dark Knight. Yes, extremely outdated. Hahahh :P Amazing movie, Heath Ledger was.. gosh, phenomenal. So versatile in all his movie roles! Nailed the roles completely, really (: Dan said he died cos of the Joker part. Apparently he was too into the character and suffered from depression, hence the overdose of pills :( He'll ALWAYS be a legend though, especially for girls who watched A Knight's Tale. DAMNNN! :D

Got Big Apple. Dan got the greentea one. Coughyuckcough :P HAHA WHEN IS KRISPY KREMES COMING TO MALAYSIA?! :(


Went to MPH to get a present for someone ;)
Had dinner @ WinterWarmers. Haven't been there in.. forever.
Hahah then went to meet my sisters. Shopped for heels, and
went to Starbucks to hang out with Jane. Played Jenga! Haha childhood daysss :D

Everyone was staring! :P WOOOT champions :D




Can't believe Jenga can bring so much fun! Haha. Had a great time, and the employees were laughing at us trying to stack em' up as well ;)
Got home @ 1am.
Had a pampering session with my sisters till 3am. Haha sisterhood ;)

TODAY; WEDNESDAY

Went for lunch with Aunt at Sushi King. Ages since I went there, I'm not fond of commercialized Japanese food. Heh. Then went grocery shopping at Tesco.
Then off we went to Gurney (:
Samson
met up with us, and we shopped around. Bought an armful of things :P HAHA Seems like the whole Gurney's on sale! :D
Then met Gary. Haha haven't seen this guy in ages! He had nothing to do, so he tagged along. Walked around till about 7, and we left. Samson dropped us home (:
Went out for dinner.
Came back home, and sisters decided to go to Batu Feringghi!
It's been a long time since we went there anyway. Went to Jane's house and off we headed! :D
It was shopping heaven, truthfully. Everything's ridiculously cheap, albeit the quality is a bit.. doubtful. Sis got a gorgeous Chloe bag for only RM80! Funny thing; when Jane brought out her Burberry purse, the dude there was like "Whoa, that's original right?" And yes, it was. They can detect any piracy in designer goods! We were awed. Hahahh funny people :D
Went back to Jane's place at about 1am. She brought us to the rooftop and we just sat there for hours talking! Haha so much stories. Mostly about my sister's university err.. people :P HAHA hilariousssss :P
Got home at about 4am. Showered and was totally konked out.

Felt so jetlagged this whole week. So tired, and it seems like I'm out every single hour. I don't even have time to step into my study room. I am so barbequedddd :P HAHA.

OneLife Review!
Thursday, August 21, 2008

I haven't blogged about One Life! :O
Amaaaaazing ;) The whole thing was just phenomenal.
Heartbreaking, of course. But lifechanging ;)

WEDNESDAY
Skipped school. Mom dropped me at Gurney for my shift. Seeing those queues made me hyped up! So amazing. Went through the maze for the first time. I got Cambodia. It was heartbreaking. Gahh. Left a note at the Wall Of Hope for the AIDS victims.
Volunteered with Sharmeen, Zoe & Hong at the check-in counter! Haha repeated the same phrase for about 300 times! Very fun though :)

"Helloo! Is it your first time here? Do you prefer English, Chinese or Malay? When you're in there, there'll be a few curtains and walls, so just listen to the instructions on your headset. Okay? *sets up MP3* Can you hear a blurry sound now? Okay great, have fun inside! Thank you! :D"

Worked at the checkout counter for awhile. There was this American lady who was complimenting the set up and everything. It was great knowing how it impacted all these people! (: Haha all credits to WorldVision, really. Amazing team :)
Sarah, Rainy and Aida came! :D Rainy, I still want your trenchcoat :D *coughChristmascough* :) HAHA.
"Try Malay lahh! :D"
"Eh, don't discriminate ah, I tell you! :P"

Lol Sarah, sarah :P


Finished, and cleared everything at 11pm. WeiSern dropped me home at 12ish.
It was a productive day :D Haha very satisfying.

THURSDAY
Skipped school again. Heh :\ Reached there early. Started shift early. It was flooded with people, I'm telling you! The ushers were doing an amazing job. Haha there are ALWAYS more than 10 people waiting at the queue :\ Check in counter people went insane. Haha and Alex was talking so loud, I couldn't concentrate. Was pissed at him at first. HAHA but he turned out to be a great guy lahh, so yeah. It was extremely fun controlling checkincounter with him and Sheena :D
When we reached 1000 people, all of us were cheering! Just imagine. 1000 people have been touched and have walked in the footsteps of a child with HIV. 1000 people educated and making a difference! :D
It was encouraging that 3000 people have went through the exhibition in Penang in only 3 days!

People I know who came: Sarah, Rainy, Aida, SueLyn, Oliver, WeiJin, Aimy, Abigail, Daniel, NiWen, Marilyn, Rosa, my piano teacher! :P, Sharron, Andrea, Robert, Carmen, Ivy, Kathleen, QingLing, Verena.

She & Jackie taught me how to set up the MP3's on the first day!
Fun people to work with :D

Took this on the first day :)

Brought everything down at 11pm. It was so sadddd! :( Packed up everything into boxes, taped them up with Sharmeen, Zoe, Hong and Jolene. Made us realize how much effort the WorldVision team has put into making this exhibition a success. Every little detail was taken into account. We packed everything in an hour! Record setting ;)

I find this pic funny. Haha :D

Made plans for supper, realized that WeiSern's car was on the 6th floor, and all the elevators were locked. Grr, walked up 12 stationery escalators! Great work out :P HAHA.
Supper. Great fellowship together, all 20 of us. WeiSern dropped me home at 3am. Random car talks. Haha :)
Had the longest bath, relaxinggg.
[I miss this day so terribly much]
