~sebelum berlepas~

For yesterdays outing..please visit Eli's blog for details,no point writing the same thing over and over again.After parting with them,came home rest for awhile then went to Steven's corner again.Then found out that Alex Kim said Sze Yin dunno the road so we planned to go Nathans'.Went there and mamak-ed til 12midnight(Rosalind there too) where mum,nagged me!(she bombared my sms...=p)I mean,its not my first time I go back late right??Last time 3am oso got ler???Weird weird...

So then,what I have "observed " from these outings is that,there will be the same questions..

"Go Japan excited hor?"
"Packed already?"
"Ready liao mar?"
"How many of you going?"
"Go there for how long?"

These are the questions that are frequenlty asked and I've often answered without thinking twice.Like all programmed..(it is in a way..)I don't mind anyway cuz not everyone can't actually remember every detail or know about every detail of my life-soon-to-be(for I can't too)..

There are also the same statements..

"Go Japan can find Japnese boyfriend lo"
"go Japan di dun want come back lo hor..."
"Go there get married,get a PR then stay there"

And when told that I'm actually worried adapting there...

"Don't worry lar,take it easy and besides you look like a Japanese marr.."

What has things that I look like a Japanese got to do with my ability to adapt?I'm still pondering...

So then,the next "obeservations" are..

That after every statement,they'll go look at me with a tinge of envy.No need gua??!!?I mean wherever you go,as long as you can do well,its alright already correct??

And also,for the time being..only 1..outta all I've go out with,actually said she wanted to come to KLIA to see me off.But I asked her not to,seeing that its early in the morning.Thanks Keat Yee,your gesture really moved me.The rest?Well,seeing that they have transportation problem and they have to work,they'll just come over on sunday for a small chit chat.I'm wondering what should I do..After all,I'm not used to be the centre of attention,I prefer standing behind and watch that kind.

Some other close friends,actually said they'll miss me with sincerity too.And I'm moved(cuz that included my male friends)..And some gave me gifts which I greatly treasure and will use my best effort to cramp it into my luggage to take it to Japan.=)

I used to "visualise" that I'll have a huge group of friends seeing me off at KLIA on THE DAY after witnessing my seniors leaving last year,for being a KL-ite,who is more nearer than me?And when we were told to leave on 1st of April the last time,I was secretly thrilled for it was a Sat=friends would be free cuz even if they do work,it'll only be half day as the flight was a night one..

But now come to think of it,I prefer to leave just like that.No friends seeing me off is the best I suppose.Especially teary friends.It'll just melt down my icy-cold heart to see them cry when I have to leave.And it'll be quite a hussle for them to spend the time and money to go all the way to Sepang.So yea,I guess its a better option for me to meet all of them here.However much I have to go out.I mean,its not like I'm not coming back anyway...

I'm reminded each time I go out,either by them or most of the time by myself..

I will not be around to share what will happen in May,June,July and so on...And I'm leaving on Monday,11am flight...

~Some chain-Questions~

Wen Ching did this to me, it was like some chain-letter typed Q & A questions,tagged me so here goes...


My earliest memory...I have many but for now it is the time my grandfather wanted to pull my teeth out wth the creepy "playars"..

At school I... AM quiet when the teacher is talking and will answer only when I have to.

My first relationship...never had one

.I wish I had never worn...errmm...stripy tops cuz its sucky(to me lar...)


I wish I had...taken my SPM in a more serious level..instead of worrying about "certain" issues at that time..

I wish I hadn't....do things that hurt my friend's feelings...and let them find out indirectly..

At home I cook...Simple dishes that is able to feed the family,edible.Plain dishes and some soups..

When I was a child, I wanted to... have a nice life in front of me.A rich and no-worries kinda life..(seems impossible though seeing that I'm a worry-wart)

The book that changed my life is...Tuesday with Morrie and Five people you meet in Heaven by Mitch Album.

If only I would...Have everything go accordingly well without any major obstacles..

Friends say that I am...friendly,proud,independant... I'll leave the rest to you guys.

What I don't find amusing is...Gals who try to act cute and vunerable..

I'm passing the baton to...Emerson,Abel,Linges,Eli,Vivian,Phooi Fun, Shengcui, Yann Yoong,Naoki,Keat Yee,May Ching,Clement, Randy and Jeremy(if they ever reads this post)basically anyone who read this post, just copy and paste the questions to your blog. Have a nice day!! ^^

~Its Wednesday~

went out with Chee Wei and Phooi Fun.Had another early start.Sent my sis to school,she met Linges,DARE she say I didn't do much for her...whatever..never mind,went to watch Shaggy Dog.Then had Secret Recipe.Met Voon How oso.Not really that leng chai lar.i was quiet throughout the conversation cz of my stupid slur in my canto again..Shit,I can hardly speak properly now!!English,Jap,canto...shoots...After that,came back..End of the day...5more days to go..

The road not taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This poem should be very familiar with anyone that has grad high school here in M'sia. And we all know the meaning of it very well. A very good poem in deed.

We're not saying tat u're the luckiest person in the world. We're just happy that you can get better education then us. An opportunity to go overseas doesn't come around often and to some of us... it doesn't come even once. We're just sharing your joy and excitement with you =)

Our live has never had right choices nor has it wrong ones. Every decision we've made so far has brought us to where we are today and looking back with regret will only make our lives bitter. Therefore...

Carpe diem - Live each day to its fullest.

~The art of packing~

After finding out that I'm not supposed to bring a backpack,a hand-pull luggage and a laptop bag as my hand carry,I resolved to getting my backpack to my handpull bag..My,it was hard and tough work,not only I have to move some clothes out from the 20kg bag,have to re-squeeze and rearrange everything..SIGHHSSS>.

spent the rest of the day chasing Stairway to Heaven,went to meet Keat Yee and Chua Kok Keong for dinner.Rained heavily so went to for dinner at some Hong Kong styled restaurant,didn't check out the name.Din manage to visit the pasar malam.Rushed back before 9pm,beating one red light,almost did another.Got my sister's photos from photoshop that CLAIMED closes at 9pm..Shoots..Rush for nothing.6more days..meeting Phooi Fun tomorrow.thusday going skating..Friday,maybe Sze Huei.Sat..dunno..then sunday family day.My days here are slowly ending..sighhh

People looke dup to me saying "so nice ler Lien Ghee,going Japan,how do you feel?"

"er,nothing?Worried actually"
Them:"worry what lar,bet your excited right?"

Excited?hahaha..They looked at me as if I'm the luckiest gal in the world....

But I know better,that everything has its own price.I have to earn this scholarship,its not a windfall for goodness sake,so don't look at me as if its one.True,I might be a bit lucky,getting paid to study,to go for a new experience no other can achive,but along with it,the bitterness of being alone in a foreign contry,the uneasiness of trying to adapt,the sense of leaving everyone you've known for years,how can anyone be in MY SHOES to understand that?studying abroad is not as sweet as candy as everyone seems to think,look of the other side too..The worry of not being able to do well in studies is in every student's mind,but try being a JPA scholar,where you have to worry not only about deteriorating grades,one have to worry about upholding the country's image as well as being the minority in another country.And in my case,I worry A LOT about talking to any japanese there..Even here in PPKTJ,the words in Jap barely comes out more than a few sentences from my mouth to Senseis..so how can I survive there.....I wonder..

~My god~

Second post for the day..(just 5min apart)Goodness,i have a super nice senior.He actually called me to tell me some tiny-little details of what to bring to Japan.How nice of him!!And die lar..Now only I know,can only bring...ONE hand luggage...means either hand pull-typed bag or the back pack..How lar?And I've cramped everything in the pulley bag..gotta shift stuff out lo..Aiseh aisehhhhh..Starting school next week starting school next wee..I'm getting paranoid..Oh,May Ching and Clem,this nice sempai say bring more warm clothes arrr...die die dieeee

~Another wonderful day~

Woke up at 7am,mum actually called me to fetch her to school after her car wouldn't start.just as my neighbour(who's son studies in the same school)got ready to go out too..Sigh,should've ask ehr to pick mum up too but scared mum nagged so yea,pajamas and all,grabbed keys,fetched mum and bro from guard house,sent them to school..went home too late to sleep again so watched Stairway to Heaven drama,hope manage to finish before next week..Dressed and walked out to Old Klang Road to get bus to Sunway Pyramid again.Just on time this time,lucky me i guess,one minute later I'll miss the bus...

Reached at 10am,May Ching and I agreed to meet at 10.30am so wandered around watching people skating.She turned up at 11.30am.Spent my time at MPH reading the brthday book about myself.Never knew my personal lucky number was actually stated there!!WHOAAA!!!And a lot of the things stated there actually really reflects my personaility,and don't you guys go"You believe in it that's why u relate everything that is written there only mar"seriously,I thought of some triats before I read on and actually found it stated after turning the pages.Unbeliveable..

We went for karaoke at Redbox first,eventually we were given an extra one hour,we sang til gilar..hitting the highnotes,off-key notes,low-tune notes,even boogied =p..We tak kisah di,after all,last time to sing,and there was only 2of us so...don't give a damn already..hehe.Enjoyed giler...(sorry for teh broken Manglish,biase ler,malas nak fikir,out comes rojak)But because of the extra hour,it was too late for us to skate so after one Baskin Robbins ice-cream we went for movie instead.To make it on time for our curfew,Yours,Mine and Ours was our movie pick as it was the earliest movie available and its a comedy.I note,errrmm..That its was my first time watching a movie at Sunway Pyramid..kekeke..Lame huh?Kl-ites some more..malukan oni..The movie was super,even better than Cheaper by The Dozen..This is nice nice nice...Head back after that..Part with May Ching with a dreaded feeling..."See ya in one weeks time!!!"*blink blink

Hopped on a Metrobus,no idea where it'll lead to but I asked "Boleh sampai Mid Valley?"the bus conductor say can,I hopped on.No time to loose.Quite ochitsuite,even I'm alone taking the bus,no idea why I'm not worried,almost let myself sleeping peacefully too.Lucky took short nap,had to make sure get down the right stop.REached mid Valley,mum fetched me home.Now I'm finally tired.After a bath,wind down a bit d.Must be the early startled,made me extra tired.Anyhow,no plans for tomorrow yet,but should be pasar malam in Sri Petaling.hmmmm...boring entry but had a great time..

~today's outing~

After rotting for the past 2 days,finally got out with Kar Yee,Kai Mei,Wan Hong and Wan Teang.Woke up as early as 7am after sleeping at 1.30am yesterday.Went to Qing Ming at the cemetery at Sungai Besi.Had breakfast with my cousin,aunt and uncle.Went there about 8.30pm,first time so late,the place was packed.After the usual praying and burning of hell-stuff,with me succeding in not "crying" (all the smoke there always made everyone cry),we head back.

Bathed and joing the girls for lunch at Sri Petaling's Pizza Hut.Met Kar Yee there.Ate til 2.30pm,Kar Yee dropped us off at LRT station then we made sudden plans to Times Square instead of Mid Valley.Wan Hong looked very hip today.Went to karaoke at Neway,it killed us today.Rm28.50 per person arr!!!Shit..dunno spent how much.Head home,bathed again.REst..The end..

~more thinking~

This is the time..Where I start thinking too much.Realised from May Ching's blog that I'm starting school next week..Just that i'll be in Japan next week.It occurred to me I'll be in Japan next week but starting school next week?I don't even have time to actually settle down..Goodness..and what about the Speech I have to give to introduce myself?(in the hall facing hudreds of Japanese some more?)I might as well just pretend to have a heart attack and get over with it..Lame,but you guys know that I can't be serious..or can I???

Rot the whole day at home.Funny,when I don't go out,I get a headache,when I do,I just get tired from all the walking.I guess they say your body can't take it when you suddenly rest too much eh?So I slept the whole day,hoping my headache will disappear but to no vail.Went to get a haircut again.Bob short.Nice I think.Just nice..Had a Slurpee after haven't tasted it for about 2 or 3 years.Nice nice..The headache is killing.Something happy,I managed to get the Sudoku in The Star done in half an hour!!woohoo..My first attempt?half a day,2nd attempt,2 and a half hours,3rd attempt which was yst,1hour,now I'm down to half an HOUR!! I'm so damn happy..guess when trained anything can be solved easily.Guess I shouldn't worry bout my brain functioning in Japan or not huh?

8more days..How well do you think can one say,8days,nicely used?How well planned do you define as well planned?Spending everyday with friends and family?Snapping as much pictures as possible?I really get this headache whenever I want to go out with the girls,they are either busy with work,or think the place chosen is too expensive or far.And we always ended up in Mid Valley,a place I love to hate right now.But I've realised since ages ago they are dear to me and thus,I shall have to give and take,understanding their situation too..But sometimes,I can't help feeling hopeless..For once,can't we ALL go out instead of leaving one to work or home?

To much time spent at home,too much time to think about these nonsense,I could've joined Vivian they all to the sports day in Bkt Jalil but had a headache and with the weather killing everyone with migraine or overexposure,I prefer stayng indoors.Gain weight I suppose after not studying anymore and with school starting next week,I'm worried about irrelevant things like,what do I have to wear to classes,do I have to bring a bedsheet and all those crap..Worry so much for what lar??I used to say to myself,what is there is there,what is to see is there for me to see and lastly,what have to be faced will have to be faced,sooner or later..So why not just face it with bravery and anticipation?I'll do just that...With a slight worry of cuz,I'd be lying if I say I have none at all,so,Japan..here I come..

~Grabbing pics again~

Yes,can't help it..grabbing pics from Eli..muhahaha..How sweet of her to call me sweet,shes pretty sweet herself ler...What a great day we had..Had fun had fun!!!!!!

~time to think~

As off my other blogs,sometimes,I just go blank at how to start..But of cuz once I get started,I couldn't stop..(with the exceptional stop-to-chat of cuz)So here,I shall type bout my outing yesterday before going to the more serious tone after that...

Had a great day with Eli And Vivian yesterday.Eli they all picked me up at 10.50am,headed to Mv,managed to get the 11am ticket for Nanny McPhee,and was counted as the early birds so paid only RM6.The show was really enjoyable but had some idiots behind,a couple somemore,who doens't know the meaning of switching the phone to silent mode in a cinema!After the boyfriend got a cal(who he deliberatly tried to act innocent and ignore its ringing,like duh..as if we dunno that's his handphone...We had to stare at him until he sheepishly pick up his cal) then next was the girlfriend.Talk on the phone loudly too..Idiots them!!And to think they'll learn their lesson but no...they had more calls,and were talking(and I mean talking,not even trying to whisper!!)to each other at some parts of the movie..Damn EEJITS!!!

Aftew movie we strolled around,then went to Oh Sushi where we found that there was no more Kaiten belt so after sitting at the nice sofas,we dashed back out..And with the waiter and waitress greetting us in their oh-so-loud ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA in an all wrong slang,we were embarrasingly walking out fast,using the usual they-don't-know-us-anyway attitude to take us to Sushi King.^_^"..Got comfortable and started eating..I had no idea why but I took 5dishes from the beige colour before I finally decided,no,for the colours sake,I have to take something of different colour..so yeah,lame me..First time eat Sushi King without green tea,and the poor Chi gal was having trouble explaining to us in English that I politely spoke to her in Canto and asked her what's the prob.After all,Eli they all can understand what...Seems the hot water system was out of order so we had to order fruits drinks or canned drinks instead...Eww...spoilt the taste..

Had Baskin Robbin's ice-cream(How nice of Vivian..*ahemmm)Got myself(finally after 3months of scouting)a NiKe sports shoe,Eli got nice err...strappy sandals?for herself..Talked to Sook Fan at Vincci while the other part time workers was wondering why a customer was so closed to their permanant worker.Met my relative there too.Then we head back to Eli's house,watched American Idol,blog hopped and went to Pasar Malam which also meant to Steven't corner to them..NOW I know...thought they really go to the Pasar Malam..Hanged out with Eli,Vivian,Khai Chee and Li Shean,then Li Shean left,Pui Zhan came..Saw a lot juniors from Sentosa who always gave me trouble back when I was the prefect and they,the "gangsters" of the school..From the looks of their face,they must be wondering why in the world or how to be exact,I've gained so much weigh..But maybe they wouldn't care less anyway..hehe...

Thanks to Eli who had been so nice chauffering Viv and I the whole day out,I arrived home contented an HAPPY!!Cuz Eli gave me a super sweet-and-thoughtful gift of body cream from Body Shop and a quaint neat daily planner.I'm not one of those who pamper myself often and with the climate in Japan,her body cream gift is such a welcomed and thoughful gift I've ever received..Thanks a lot....

Ok so now,I'm home again..Its 2.34pm.Had a restless sleep no thanks to my mum who woke me up with her usual routine in the kitchen at 5 something in the morning,my sister heading out at 9am in the morning,and my brother's coming back from Sports Day at 11am in the morning..Had a chocolate bar for lunch..So then people,ready for my thoughts??haha..nothing much actually but here goes....

The day before yesterday,I had trouble sleeping.A good friend of my companied me through SMS whilst my sister took over the pc,cutting me out of communication with the rest of my circle of friends.I have been worried actually.I guess I'm really suprised how limited time I have left,unlike a senior of mine last year,after going out with friends for some weeks,he resolved to stay at home a few days,or was it a week?Well for me,like today for instance,staying at home proves to be quite some challenge too..the challenge of looking for something to do,and when I did manage to find something to do,it really irritates me that before I can complete what I was doing,mum will ask me to do some chores or go to the post office to send in my sis's scholarship application or something.Call me nuts but I hate to do something half way or was interrupted,whoever the other party is.I dislike that.Thus,I become grumpy and of course will start to complaint or better still in the adolescent's well-known skill,completly act as if I couldn't hear anyting or just scowl..I know,I know,people who knows my mum thinks that she doesn't deserve this kinda treatment but I can't help it ya know?Try being asked to do things every time you're at home and wanted some time to relax and rejuvanate and was instead,asked to drive around town etc,get yourself doing other people's job while the person who IS supposed to do it is leisurely working at an air-cond office,surfing the net and getting paid.I know she works hard both in her school and in the office,but it'll help more if she can get her own things organised instead of asking mum and I be her runner and send in everything(all her scholarship applications) for her in the last minutes,just in the nick of time before the closing dates..Take today for instance,I had to go to my mum's office to send in my sis's bank account book and searched high and low at home for that and her copy of results in order to get the reward for scoring excellent results.Not only was the searching difficult(I'm not the person who keep her things,how should i know where she puts them??),I had to get my father to fetch me to Jalan Raja Laut where my mum's office was located,got stuck in a jam,and with mum calling non stop,I had to scream at her..I mean,I know the bank closes at 4pm,and it's already 3.30pm,but I'm stuck in a jam dammit..You think we can fly?Well,got there in time alright,I can't help putting a sour face cuz it took us all the trouble to travel,stuck in a jam etc,just to get a RM300 reward which my sister wasn't even bothered about.That's what really pissed me off..I called her to ask for the location of her things,took the effort to go to the city,nagged by mum who called non stop,and all I get was:"so ma fan,nobody ask you to go oso!"I said,"RM300 wor",she was lke.."So??"..shit,as if I can get any cent of that RM300 I spent my time on..fuck...The only good thing that she's working that she doesn't have to ask my mum for allowance EVERYTIME she shops,or eat,or buys..And piss my brother off for getting to spent more than anyone of us...Gosh it has been long I've last write a complain blog,and it feels...nasty,evil but good..I don't give a damn if anyone who reads this tells it back at her..To all of you,she might be the A-star student,getting splendid results,the extra jovial gal with a huge range of friends,from mine to her's herself,and I always seem to mistreat her in front of you all.But...somethings never shows unless you are family....

The thing is,I didn't intend to write this in the first place,I was about to write about my worries to live in Japan etc,(actually I continued my draft,stopped at 3pm,continuieng now at 8.30pm,thus the happen-ed)but come to think of it,sometimes,I can't wait to leave,to be able to actually get control of my life,not being ordered to do something or doing something just to please someone,to avoid getting irritated looks or grumbles when I don't do something when asked to,to feel guilty for hanging out with friends too much and not being at home,to even spend money..I guess thats how discipline is formed but hey,I'm already 20,a gal capable of doing her own things and need no more nagging.I EXTREMLY hate being told what to do and in return hate it when things does not goes smoothly or in an arrogant way,not the way I planned it to be.I'm proud and like to get attention,that's what my Aquarius star use to signify,now come to think of it,I guess I am...I told the friend of mine(the one whom i sms-ed the night I couldn't sleep)that I'm a stubborn gal and does not like others see my weaker side and thus,I vowed,NOT to cry in Japan.And with the issues(some might even say it's irrelavant to call it an issue,but it is to me nevertheless so...)at home,I guess it's a better catalyst for me to stay strong and be glad of what my scholarship has to offer me..So homesickness?haha..for now...SCHOMESCKNESS.....

tHe Bestest BuRthhhday Gift~~~~

I so got to blog this.

Ever looked back and remember how lucky you were to receive something so special from that someone?

Have you received anything from the gov for your birthday?

....

Well, today I was awaken in the morning with a hilarious phone call from my sister. It was funny for her at least... but not for me. Here’s how the conversation went...

Sis: Muahahahhahahaha mUhahhaahahHahHahAh
Me: What you want?
Sis: mum say don't fly so much... MuahahHAhahahMuahHAhahahaHaHaha
Twooooooot

And that was how I knew I got a saman from JPJ on my birthday. It's my first saman ever and it's on my 20th birthday. So nice of them =)
Thank you ppl at JPJ, you really made my day.. NOT!!!!

What's worse, I was only doing 106 and the speed limit was 80 kmph.
Who in the world drives 80 on highways? Road hogs!!!! 106... 106???
If it was 140 then it would be fine. I’ll pay the saman and frame it up showing my pride and glory of the kancil at 140 but 106??? haihz, malufly'ing

Oh wellz, lesson learned.
Don't overspeed unless u really speed.

~Miri Trip~

The thing about me blogging almost everyday show's you how bored I am..

Current status:In my pajamas,resting and blogging after sweeping and mopping the floor by orders of The-Great MUM..

Almost finished packing on Monday(took me 3 hours to pack some necessities and chuck away some for my sister),had great fun yesterday so...more blogging now..haha

Miri trip..hmm...Reached the airport,saw Teck Soon and his twin,his mum and Kim Shing.Teo was at home sleeping it seems..Chin Leong was all excited and happy once he saw Wong and his family.Guess cuz he came before and was pretty close with him that's why.Seemed like a dead fish in Labuan..haha.Then we hopped on his mum's Bas Mini(a van to pick up kindegarden kids to school it seems)and within 2minutes reached his home.Quite isolated place.Had karaoke session while queing up for our turn to bathe.Found that all Teck Soon siblings can sing superbly well too..0_o"..me paiseh sing in front of them..

After that we head to a park with nice and romantic lightings.Me grumbled(sounded like scolding to them it seems) about Chin Leong not telling me to bring my camera.Xin Ning told me I sound pretty angry and rude but actually that's just me doing things without thinking again..sigh,when will I learn to keep my mouth shut at the right time?Its just that the view was splendid,the bridge and stuff,thought it was pretty wasted not to snap any pics of it..Oh swell..Went for walks on the rocks too,say it was good for health?Kim and Teo went crazy by thinking of doing fireman's lift there..giler..then there's the lame attempt to climb out a pole at the childrens' playground,started as a dare from me to Teo then Wong joined,he was the first to got up,followed by Teo.Kim and Chin Leong couldn't get up especially Chin Leong who tried numerous times yet failed to even go halfway.Claimed that the pole was slippery...he went back disappointed like a small kid who couldn't buy the new toy he sees on the rack..hehe

Next day we went to Gua Niah where we need to walk 4km of wood planks before we could finally reach the mouth of the cave..Had a great breakfast where we got to taste the local dishes..could never forget "teng peng ngu" and the 3 layer teh-C..visit here for pictures..Chin Leong was fighting to walk first on the way to the cave,cuz he knows the direction..goodness..He and Kim went all the way walk in front while I stayed at 3rd.hehe..May Ching they all was like:"goodness,are we in a hurry??""Enjoy the view mar""wait up for Teck Soon's mother"..*grin...Reach an intersection where we went to see the longhouse village then souvenir buying.Damn mahal...Then went on..The mouth of the cave stinks like hell with swallow's droppings and we saw the Paleolitic settlement house,the one we saw in our Sejarah textbook?Well,it seems that it has a major function nowdays too...As a public toilet..Wonder is this how they treat all major NATIONAL TREASURE????

Walking into the cave was a big challenge for at some point even the mere handphone light shone brightly as a guidance.It was pitch black at some point and with limited torchlights,I sticked with Kim and Teck Soon's brother Teck You..His brother damn chun ler.Only 15years old but so tall and gosh I can't believe I'm saying this..So gentleman and caring!!!Dahlar handsome,can cook and do housework,let his brother bully also nevermind,doesn't complain also,can sing extremly well,bonded with us easily like no age gap..Super cool guy...Explained to us some places with extreme patient.Fuyoo..Envy his future girlfriend..ahem..ok...back to Niah cave..hehe..

After resting at the end of the cave,we went to have a look at wall paitings by the cavemens.Couldn't make out anything while May Ching and Xin Ning(again with their super interaction skills)finally made out some pictures after talking to some women (foreigner)there..While Teo and Teck You had shouted at the jungle which could be heard miles away..Took some beautiful pictures of the lime stone the head back.Total time spent there..Appoximately 4hours...Enjoyed the sandwitch and breeze at the hut we rested... Then we head to see the petroleum museum,had nice cokkies 'n cream ice cream,then we head to look at the sunset.We had our baths first of cuz while "injecting" ourselves with more Karaoke addictive and while we were at the beach,saw people flying kites and saw the sunset.Not as pretty as the one we saw in Labuan but swell.Saw minicrabs,sang our lungs out,enjoyed the breeze and enjoyed Kim's drawing on the sand.Then we head for seafood dinner at the restuarant nearby,May Ching,Xin Ning and Kim attempted playing a lame game by Kim called reverse talking..Lame Lame..May Ching had memorised a great Chinese proverb..Saw Wong's school and shared his story about hand-in-hand walk to the beach with a gal on graduation day.Then we head to another park where I joined the guys for a stroll at the whole park while May ching,Xin Ning and Aunty don't know disapperead where.Found that Teck Soon's twin is quite diff from him.He sorta talk about gals more often..hehe..Head home after that for more cards and karaoke..Slept at 12.30am,the rest still up..

Next morning had breakfast at home,me earliest to wake up,nice noodles aunty had there..Then headed to the crocodile farm.On the way we enjoyed playing cards again..It began drizzling after that and we went in to look around the farm.Gosh the crocs are....HUGE,GIGANTIC!!!!!I can easily fit into their stomach wei..super...And they were..I assume about 1000+ corcs in that farm itself.Small ones,huge ones..Whoa..no wonder they can supply croc meat and eggs lar..and we thought seeing crocodlies are very mezurashi moo..here,we see until we get bored arr..The there's other animals to,the pig tail monkey,sun bear,mouse deer,pea cock,civets etc..loads of them..nice visit I would say...Then we headed to a beautiful temple and some of us got our fourtunes told.Teo's one was the one which got us talking..*secret secret...Went for ais-kacang and rojak while the weather was super chilly.Head back for a bathe then we had home cooked dinner.every time dinner at home sure have soup,enjoyed giler.Teck You cooked the ladies fingers!!Not sticky some more..haha..Had archery and movie at the bggest shoppng mall around Mir sity,watched Underworld 2,couldn't understand at the beginning but we soon followed up(didn't know that there was ticket pricing for gals Rm6 while guys had to pay RM7!!).Later we head Fried Kuey Teow where Chin Leong once again showed his enormous appetite!Salute!Then head home for more more more karaoke and cards til about 3am,for it was our last night there...

Morning came (bright as usual),packed and head back.Got some noodles for mum,can't go back empty handed anyhow.Dahlar din buy anything from Labuan(say only duty free,not as cheap as Langkawi oso).got some pepper the day before too,for my aunt.Dunno what to buy so lazy get anything else.Waved Teck Soon and Aunty goodbye,felt bad cuz din use any verbal goodbyes,rushed to the line u see..aiseh..anyway,sent an sms..Came back to KL,din sleep in the plane,got addicted to Sudoku.3attempts when I finally got it right.Air Asia's new airbus model plane is not bad,the toilet(first time use) was quite quaint and neat.

WE went for 6hours of karaoke at Redbox Low Yat plaza..hahha..It was supposed to be a movie date of me and Chee Wei but since I got to know that Keat Yee was not working so I invited her along.She didn't want to watch Shaggy Dog by Tim Allen which I was supposed to watch with Chee Wei so after waiting for her to reach at about 1.07pm,(Chee Wei came at 12pm,he supposed to meet me at 11.30pm!!and I arrived at 11pm..^_^""")we decided to walk around and while I collected my photos I developed,they went for ticket checking.Found nothing suitable so we went karaoke instead..haha..Chee Wei was oh-so reluctant but thanks to Keat Yee's superb persuading,we managed to drag him there..

Got a HUGE room for ourselves,supposingly for 8ppl but since its weekday the pretty gal gave us a bigroom.The session was supposingly from 2pm til 5pm but since there was no customer,they allowed all the customers to sing til 9pm!!hahha..And we had a little "chat" with our waiter regarding the pricing cuz we thought they overcharged us for overstaying..In the end..Keat Yee and I sang til the very last minute we were satisfied.My voice was like,sing,get hoarse,after resting,got voice again,sing more,then get hoarse again,then now,I'm fine again.Chee Wei was like,"you guys arrr....so many hours???!?!!"Keat Yee and I??We enjoyed ourselves throughly..hahaha.Got nagging from mum but who cares...Its not like I got to go any more sessions with them..Supposingly Keat Yee and I continue going to Sri Petaling's pasar malam but since it was drizzling we had to call it a day.Poor Chua Kok Keong,must be tired of waiting for us to finish our session and then had to cancel the dinner at Pasar Malam..Sorry...^-^"

Anyway,had great fun.Showered and now blogging while my sis is not dictating me over my OWN pc..aishhh,,,anyway,have fun people.Me going to update on Miri soon..matane...

~Labuan trip~

This is the continuation of my 8days in Borneo..Labuan trip..after KK...

We took a 2and a half hour ferry to Labuan.On the way we had slept well through choppy wters and nuisance from other passengers.We also entertained ourselves with a horror movie from Thailand which was pretty good.After reaching Labuan it was about 7 in the evening and wondering what to do we walked around aimlessly til we found the ticket booth to buy our tickets to Miri.However it was already closed thus we looked for our next priority,accomodation.We called Global Hotel a 2star hotel and also some budget hotel to confirm the pricing of rooms.Seeing that the pricing was the same so we decided to stay at the 2star hotel thinking it might be better than the budget hotel(whta's the difference I have no idea).It was a walking distance so we stayed at Global Hotel..

Had some conflict on what room to get.For we felt bad letting Chin Leong sleep the floor but we soon decided that's the best option.Went for dinner at a Chinese Resturant also nearby and had a different variety of Kuey Tiow there.Then had bought some grocery and spent the night playing cards for we were too tired to go out.Besides,this town shuts down freakly early.We were there at 8pm and yet almost all the shops were closed..One thing we moticed that's for sure,it gets day light early as 7am and it gets dark early too..At 7.30pm its already like 9pm..So we had no problem waking up early there.

The next day went for breakfast nearby again and then ead to the Jetty where I remember seeing a rent-a-car service.Since it was also the Air Asia counter we asked for tickets to Miri.To our dismay,Air Asia has not started a domesic flight from Labuan to Miri.And since we don't have our passports,we cannot get any public transpot be it on land or by sea to Miri cuz we'll have to pass by Brunei,and no matter you're Malaysian or not,we need our passport to pass through Brunei.GREAT!So,we rent a Ford car since there was no more Kancil and it was only RM10 extra,we went to the Airport.To my delight it was an auto and Chin Leong doesn't know how to drive one so I took over*Yee haaa...(he claimed he knows but we soon found out that he has driven an auto ONCE and he made the car jerked suddenly so we agreed I took over since I'm an auto driver.*he looked so reluctant..hahahha)The car was such a beauty and I didn't mind paying an extra RM2.50 for it.We pumped petrol and headed to the airport.

We waited for almost an hour for turn at MAS airline and was really worried about the pricing of our ticket thought it'll be smething like RM200+ plus tax..We were relived to find that it only cost Rm84!!haha..All the anger for waiting too long was vapourised into thin air(got 2 counters,one efficient Chinese lady was going super fast while one AH PEK took 40minutes to handle a client!!shit him man...imagine we have 30people in front of us!!)After getting our tickets we went vsiting around some tourist sites we found through the brochure.Every place was so damn near and after travelling for the whole day the fuel was not even half used!!We saw Chimney,birds at bird pack,the weather was killing,had coconut,went to the Beach,had chicken wings,Chin Leong was weirdly quite,went to Peace Park,the weather super duper killing.Then we head to a shopping mall,looked around,got some junk food,went to viallage on the river,went for dinner,went back to hotel for toilet,then head to the beach at Peace Park again for sunset.It was gorgeous.I managed to take every minute of its setting(ok,so its not every minute but you can see the difference of the sun setting each time)Saw Dragon and Phoenix as well.No not the real thing but almost,the clouds were formed into the shape of both legendary creatures and all 4 of us saw it.It was breath taking all right.

Now what did we do after that eh...I forgot..oh yeah,we bought liquor and spent the time in the room again.Chomping away junk food and playing Hco Dai Di,watched a great movie on Astro,Chin Leong got drunk while May Ching's camera went haywire prompting May Ching,Xin Ning and I to press here and test there.We soon got tired and slept.(Aiseh everyday kena sepak...hehe)Woke up the next morning,packed everything and then head out for sports shoe shopping.Almost got a ticket for illegal U-turn but thanks to May Ching and Xin Ning's superb fast thinking,I got away with it..

"Kita tak tau sebab kita dari KL,kena cari jalan balik hotel"

"Tak nampak pun tanda no U-turn itu.."

"Baru datang hari ini,tak kenal jalan lagi..."

Fuyoo,respect...*What are you smirking at Chin Leong????*grumble grumble...

After returning the car we walked to find some sports shoe shop,came to conclusion that there's only one that sells the real thing.Me tried some but came back empty handed,either its no size or not beautiful.Chin Leong got one for himself and his father while May Ching got one for herslef and her sister.Really damn cheap lar the sports shoes,every seen RM80 NIKE shoes??shit..No my size..Me went back earlier with May Ching while Xin Ning and Chin Leong headed to the liquor store and got some liquor for their families.Me came with one back went to Mir with also one bag..they all,fuyoo..shopped quite a lot ler..After vegetarian lunch at Global Hotel's restaurant and spending time there playing cards again we headed to the Airport at about 2pm..Shit,and our flight was 5.45pm.Took a cab there and that grumpy old man murmurred non stop when I accidently bumped my luggage bag to his taxi.(my luggage more damaged then your car man,besides its inside the car boot,who'll go and see if there's and dent???)spent our time getting free sauna at the airport,playing cards while it was May Ching's turn to get super quiet...the weather killing us all..Spent hours playing cards(Thanks to Teo's card for saving our lives from boredom) and finally checked in and took our flight to Miri.

Took about only 45minutes,belum habis minum refreshment..belum tutup mata lagi to rest:

"Ladies and gentleman,the buckle your seat belt sign is on,please fasten your seatbelts as we'll arrive to Miri shortly,thank you..."

-____-""""""""..so fast one....

Reached Miri safe and sound...Joked about how straight Chin Leong is and could never so senget..Will never break rules etc..After that we soon met Teck Soon and family....and the story continues.....

~lame game~

try this out for fun...http://kevan.org/johari?view=Kelly+Ti

~Tripssss~

I shall not start with the warning,you all should know by now that this is the one and only place that'll put you to sleep website,so I don't really give a damn of what you think if you're one of the losers who'll complain that this is one hell of a long blog..Get lost if you don't wanna read,who's forcing?

As I've stated earlier,I had made a short visit after a boring day listening to the briefing from JPA,I went to Ipoh.(stopped for Baskin Robbins at Tapah which cozt RM7.25!!)Had some good food there,really loved to picture blog but my pc here damn cacat,cannot upload one so...(wasted cuz I'm sure all your saliva will drip)

We took a bus from Ipoh after sending off Min Ley and picked up Xin Ning to KLIA,didn't really had a good sleep.Tried reading the school mag,was suprised Ayuni's article was not in.Spent a boring time sms-ing Clement who helped killed my boredom and also my phone's battery..=p.Reached KLIa at about 10.30pm,the 2 girls and 3guys headed for KFC,scouted the area for RHB bank and place of departure on 3rd of April.I showed Kim Shing and Chin Leong how to take the train from KL Sentral too.then it was bed time,scouted for chairs too sleep..(another pic here but arrghhhh)slept for barely 2hours,then we waited for May Ching and checked in..Had Burger king for breakfast.Killingly huge portion..Went in and bid Chiang Shen and Kim Shing goodbye cuz they'll meet Clement in Kuching while Xin Ning,May Ching,chin Leong and I will go on our own to KK..

Reached KK,first up find lodging.Debated whether to rent car,semangat-ly say will walk.Conflict arose to whether to walk or take cab to a place we found through a brochure.Lucky we finally agreed on taking a cab,which was the smarter choice cuz even going at 80km/j,it still took us about 10minutes to reach city centre where the place was located.Lucky the place was full cuz it looked pretty cramped and dirty.lady luck was on our side I guess for we were introduced to Step-in-lodge which was only 3weeks old and fairly clean.It has a cosy feeling in it.We slept on the 2nd floor of the 3floor building whereas the main counter located on the first floor is also equipped with a cosy self-service kitchen and living room.Breakfast was included which was just too good to be true.Had 2 double decker beds for Rm25 per person.Spent time on cards while my mum asked her friend to help me without my knowledge.Uncle Lawrence called me and was suprised that we came without planning where to go.so he arranged us to meet Mr.James who was also his close pal who took us around in his Unser.He's used to take tourist around so it was a splendid arrangement.

After a good tom yam lunch nearby our place we snoozed until 2.30pm where we first met Uncle James.A nice fella who spoked at ease with us.Took us to Krias to see the Porboscis monkey (picture grabbed from May Ching's blog)and spent almost 4hours there..had a great view of sunset and fireflies lighting up the "pokok bakau".Almost slept due to the cooling breeze blowing on my face and tired mind. found no crocodiles but no sweat cuz saw about 1thousand of them in Miri..Had a scrumptios dinner at Krias too..Head back tired out..

The next morning after breakfast of toast and coffee,we met Uncle James again who took us to the National Park.On the way we saw Mount KK and was busy snapping pictures until we reached the foot of the hill,I think,where we got our souvenirs.Then we had a guided walk in the forest,tasted some berries..And saw a kind of fruit that actually burns like a candle.After that we headed for hot spring in Poring.Poring meant giant bamboo in some language which I cannot recall.Had some time jungle trekking up after a SALTY salad plus burger for lunch(since when is coleslaw salty???) then soaked our legs at the public-leg-soaking hot spring.Couldn't wait for the free public open air hot spring to fill up the cubicle due to time constraint so we paid RM20 for a jacuzzi hot bath..Imagine 3 gals and one guy in one crampped jacuzzi..hehe...the sulphur stinks!!eww...

After that we head back for sea food dinner,spent RM99.75 on it.Haven't add the chicken wings and "wo di" it was splendid!Chin Leong ordered a vege(sai kan) with squid which non of us took except him and he finished it all.Made me fuming but fine,it wasn't his mistake we don't eat it.After that we met up Uncle Lawrence who was ever so generously covered our expenditure for Uncle James fees..We thanked him by givng him a vase..(lame but we were in a hurry at that time so...)He took us crusing around KK in his Mercedez and we went to have a look at Tanjung Aru hotel and there was some very hard attempts from me to start a conversation.My mind was crazy at that time.Then he took us to Yayasan Sabah to the revolving restaurant.Had desert and Long Island cocktail drink.Was flushed after that.thanked him lots after he dropped us back.After I took some flight of stairs I suddenly felt uneasy and was really having difficulties breathing.That was it,I dunno what happened but 100% sure it was the alcohol drink that I finished in a hurry when we decided to go back before that.The dizzyness was not all that was,my heart beat was increases threefold and I gradually cannot see anything except red and yellow dots of Xin Ning and Chin Leong.I leaned against the door and told them I couldn't see and sorta panicked myself..XinNing helped me up the room and I sorta conked off after taking out my contacts,went to the toilet and drink one huge gulp of water to rinse out the alcohol from my body.Had a stupid headache at 4am and the urge to pee..hehe.gulped in more water,conked off again til 6 am..

Checked out afer breakfast and head to the Jetty.We went snorkelling at Manukan Island.Met German guy,chatted.Xin ning chatted with Jap lady who gave her name card and asked us to find her in Japan.I really cannot start conversation with strangers unless they start to make the first move.Respect Xin ning and May Ching.the waters were crystal clear but it was tiring snorkelling for we have to swim fighting the currents and we don't dare step on the bed of the sea for fear of poisonous stings etc.but the world down below was great alright...After bathe etc,we head back to KK's jetty,had our lunch at Crab City(hey Crapped,since when you own a restaurant in KK with a boasting name??your city???)Saw Uncle James came to the Jetty all the way to see us of to Labuan and made sure we contact him once we reach there..We were like..OMG!!!where got such nice people one.Dah-lar Uncle Lawrence paid him for us (but this I can understand cuz he's my mum's pet bother mar) but Uncle James purposely made sure we arrive Labuan safely???goodness..I must pass the good deed on man....

So now then,ladies and gentlemen,this is only my 3days and 2 nights in KK,there's 3days and 2 nights in Labuan and 4days 3 nights in Miri..Are you gamed?????MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA

~BBQ party~

Just had bbq party at PPKTJ,went there at 6.30pm,fire started only at 8pm,got to eat only at 10.30pm,reached home at 11.40pm,bathe and blog..Saw some Sempai,including Michael,and a few Malay sempai which I dunno their names..Went for karaoke with Min Ley and May Ching at about 1pm til 4pm,weekends session cost a bomb,paid RM 27.60 each.Saw Vivian with her brother,chatted..Felt bored with shopping,grabbed something sutable for trips,2 simple sleeveless shirts.cost RM30..Been spending like water nowdays,have to keep an eye on them.The cost of lving in KL,killing me quickly...JPA not yet gave us our allowance,I'm half broke..

Gained weight nowdays due to excessive food intake,I felt sick,lack of sleep maybe..My bruise on the knee due to abselling is hideous.

Tired out,tomorrow,no today actually,have to wake up at 6am later,going to PPKTJ again,taking the JPA cash,then heading up to Ipoh for 2days..After that heading to Sabah with May ching,Xin Ning and Chin Leong.Hope it'll be a nice trip,I've been very passive nowadays,dun feel like talking,dun feel like shopping..What is it that I'm feeling??I felt very inferior nowadays,that's how I really felt..No common topics with the rest of the people,cannot make jokes like they do,ever so serious,even if I could,it's always lame attempts..Not strong in my Chinese language,can never catch what the rest are saying when they use superlative Chinese idioms or well-known people of Chinese history etc.Not even good in singing,not even good at anything..Why I can't just be better than the rest and felt superior for once?Why do I always feel so intimidated and blue at all times?Why do I always blurt stupid things?Why can't I get my words right in ONE simple language?Why do I even bother????Time ended..1.15am,exactly 5hours and 45minutes more of sleep...

~Biro tata negara~

Shoots,even the title is boring..what to do in fact it is camp boring under the disguise of another name..And imagine they call it "pakej percutian 5hari 4malam".It was held at Kem Ulu Sepri,Rembau,Negeri Sembilan..So people,especially *cough J..*cough...C..Be bored,be really bored..

28/02...
The first day of arrival was utter nonsense,we had to pay for our own lunch..Arrived at about 1.20pm,luch at 1.40pm,cost RM5.75.Registered,got room.spent the whole time enjoying playing with PS,fighting with Mayc through the wireless,card games in the room.Had tea at 4.30pm,idled til 6.30pm,bathed.Found out we'll have 6 meals a day.Worst day of all 5 days,lost my earring,forgot my specs,left in KL,dropped my shower gel's cap into the toilet bowl and got natural sauna from Mother Nature.Had salty vege,'kampung' fish and kurma beef for dinner.Stomach discomfort due to sudden excessive food intake.Idled lots..

Note to self::don't sleep in the public bus if one knows one snores,like the 2nd driver in the bus,his snores was enough to wake the entire passengers from dreamland-____-""


1/03..
Woke up at 6.30am.Occasionally at 5.15am due to Malay's alarm clock.tired like shit,learned to march.Suck at it at first got the hang of it later.Had bee hoon and egg for breakfast.The whole day was easy.We had talks on 'tanah air','rakyat','kerajaan' and 'kedaulatan'..Had a cronic strain on the neck after that due to too much "fishing" done.What to do,I'm situated at the utmost corner of the hall and las row,t spelled HEAVEN for exahusted people like me.Why not??Besides,I'm prett pisssd at these people who kept on calling us "pendatang asing"..we are not,our ancestors were,WE are MALYSIANS..get that right man...

Above's itinerary was done when I was listening to the talks,now,its all on memory..

Not much actually,we had group discussions on various issues including politics,our mentality towards the government etc.Had a Cik Rinie as our group fascilitator.Only female fasci,pretty nice.She showed us the morale and message she try to pass on to us through simplified ways like asking us to do presentations like how to attract students to join our club(=how the politicians campaigned for votes),how to promote 'cencaluk' or 'pisang goreng' to Westerners(=taking up the courage to take risk in a foreign country and ready to fail)..she also showed us games etc..Actually to me,I found her ways of instilling patriotism and awarness about the country is more effective compared to the radical talks the day before.At least here,each and everyone of us are given a chance to voice out our opinion and everyone was very open with it.I,with my anger that the 'penceremah' was too extreme the day before etc,but of course I put it in a mild way.they in return teac me how to think crictically,analitically and be thankful for what we have..

I went in expecting myself to be bored and it really turned out that way with the talks,and at that moment I felt only pure hell and boredness.At that instant,felt like flying back to KL should I was bestowed with wings.the utter dread was really killing and not only that,the moment I sat in the hall,I suprised myself by falling asleep within seconds.Just put my hand on the forehead and I'm already AT dreamland instead of one the way there.And everytime I woke up,within seconds, its like people hit me hard and purposely make me faint...I just couldn't wake up at all..Seriously speaking,when asked by Cik Rinie how much I really absorbed from the talk,I gave a very generous amount of 20%,yet she seemed suprised..I wanted to say 3% but that seemed too much.Well,I managed to "draw" some notes in my note book anyhow,so ..unreadable yet comprehensible.

For outdoor activities we had 2km jog,I managed to do it at exactly 13minutes,could've done better if I had an empty stomach but had cramps due to excessive food for 2days.Had physical test and fireman lift,managed to piggy back Hanim.Had abselling,hurt my knee at first with an embarassing thump at the wall but was soon alright.The moment of laying back and letting my life depend on the mere ropes were scary but nevertheless I managed to pull through and the satisfaction when I touch ground was filled with proudness and a pang pf relief.Some were great at the course even some of the first timerslike me,one cried,one tried to run away and almost fell over the cliff(guy some more),some were like spiderman walking or crawling down.WE also went to have a cooling dip at the waterfall bt saw none as it was too deep insde the jungle.Physical test gave me leg pains and aching arms.

Another long winded blog I would say,after the itenerary,this is what I've thought I've learned.aside from knowledge on how our Parliment works and our historcal event,I've learnt more about us,Malaysian's state of mind before we actually joined in this course.We all know we take things from granted from Malaysia,sure,we'll feel the pinch when the government suddenly raised the petrol price AGAIN or when the supposingly going to oversea students suddenly have to deal with twinning programmes...But I've learnt to accept that the government has their own ways of doing their stuff and as Democratic country,we all SHOULD trust the government seeing that we chose them OURSELVES no?The thing is,if we complain and backstab the government,aren't we doing that to ourselves?It is time we throw off the complain-instead-of-accepting-changes mindset and try our best in everything..And to me,that's the biggest chalenge I've learned,to change one must change oneself,it is not applicable to oneself but also towards nation buliding..

Some might say I've been brainwashed and become pro-government..But think again,why do we have to go against it?It is our country after all,we are sponsored by them to study oversea,so why not returned back what was given?Sure we mght find better job opportunities overseas,better lving standards,but I'm sure there'll never be a place like home...
