Life I'd say is on a stand-still.  There's a lot of things that I could do right now, reading, blogging, watching ellen show on Youtube, watch the Australian Open, drama, tv, more tv, but not the thing that I'm supposed to be doing, EARNING MONEY! @@

I get upset when things don't go my way, pampered? why don't money just fall out of the sky? LOL!  

Feel so bored, so useless nowadays.  I even made a partial song from Love Bug about it.

now I'm jobless,
over the edge,
feel so useless,
I never thought that I'd catch this, slump bug again,
hopeless, down the sewers in a moment,
I never thought that I'd catch this, slump bug again...


Troubled, troubled,  I'm not even sure that I will have time for Uni applications and scholarship applications if I did get a job.  You know, it would SUCK big time if my results are not even good enough for those plans to be carried out. 

Damn...


On the other hand, like my new blog color?  I feel that blue is the "in" thing now, lol.  Even Federer is wearing blue, haha!

POST #121  wow, that much huh?

My KL Trip!


Well, if you did not know, I was in KL last week.  It was a 8 day trip that was planned in April last year!  Had lotsa fun and I spent lotsa money... but I guess it comes with the territory.  Places we've been to includes Midvalley, Kl Sentral (hell lots of times), Genting, Chinatown, 1 Utama, Times Square, Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot 10, Sunway, thats it!  Sadly, we did not had the time to visit Pavillion, Gardens, The Curve. KLCC, Low Yat Plaza and they said 8 days were too long... but it is true that the longer you stay, the more you spend. Me? I'm the one who spent the most on that trip, does anyone like to challenge that?hahaha...!  T.T


The flight was shorter than I expected, I suppose that's how it is when you have people to talk to and play with.  LCCT terminal is okay by my standards, the only problem is the chairs, they are scarce and cheap-ish, but then its LCCT...


We took the AeroBus, cheaper when we bought round trips.  Sadly though, we arrived in KL during rush hour traffic, so agonizing, but Kelly Clarkson eased the blows, hehehe...


 We saw our hotel from KL Sentral, it was tall and lean, like KS, haha.  We walked there, carrying our luggage... a bit tough, but it was only about 2-3 minutes away.  The hotel specialty includes  great location, indian food everywhere and bathrooms with no locks.  All in all, still a good hotel.

 Went to Chinatown, had tasty Chicken rice, bought shoes, haggled, XD.

 Midvalley Megamall was HUGE!  We took the komuter, and some of us got SCAMMED when we crossed the bridge from the station to the mall, not telling names or the story, cos its not my story to tell, =P.  The place really had everything, but the toilets suck though.  I saw the big Nadal wall too, haha! Cudn't really buy anything cos the stuff were too expensive and not much stores were on sale, until I reached The Reject Shop.  @@  That was when I first caught the "fever".  Darn fever...   Saw lots of shops, a white Samsung Jet and a well designed pet shop.  We bought supplies too, for Genting, and dinner, and the RM10 cheese cake.  It was quite tasty.. but the RM12 one is better, I must admit...  Sad thing about Midvalley for me is that I did not have the chance to try the cream puff... T.T  RM3.80 each... but its so big... so tasty and I bet there's alot of cream inside....  damn... T.T

 Genting, the road was steep!  Incredible how people dare to go on those roads in the mist at night.  Finally spent night time at Genting, could see my breath! It could be the most chilly place I've been to so far.  I managed to get into the casino, went bowling instead, they had awesome music and a very clubby atmosphere.  Played in the themepark, went on all the extreme rides, excluding the Flying Coaster, since it demands an extra charge of rm10, and it does'nt even last for 1 minute!  I got spun, horizontally, vertically, dropped and swung.  Hui Ling was right, the Pirate Ship is just a giant swing, really gotta salute that girl, went on all the extreme rides she did...  Genting, not to mention the view, it really was above the clouds, or at least among the clouds.  Saw a great number of beautiful sceneries.  The flowers also blossomed shamelessly, beautiful flowers that would not stand temperature below the mountain.  Cecilia said he saw Tzin Yee, what a coincidence that was...  Oh, shopping spree took place here too.  Put it this way, whenever you wanna buy stuff at Padini, let me know, cuz I got the member card.  @@   The hotels at Genting did not need Air-Conditioning, they just have the problem of keeping warm. 10 person in a quad room of Themepark Hotel, it looked like a refugee camp, haha, but it was lots of fun too! Tho I must say, the corners of the room were quite dirty, lousy housekeepers...


When we went down, stopped by at the temple thing.  Building a temple above the clouds, genius!  The scenery was great, mostly because of the weather.  We saw Uncle Lim too, haha! His statue I mean...


Our hostel, Bedz KL,  it was not bad, had a lot of ang-mos too.  The location is not that strategic leh, had to walk quite a bit, but still reasonable distance.  I had decent sleep there, must be the bed, but the cleanliness raises doubt. @@ .  The place was cheap though, its a place I would go back, for one-night stay.  They do not provide drinking water, =( .  So much food at Jalan Alor, I had claypot chicken rice...

Times Square, another megamall, but they're mostly women's clothing or just not my taste.  It was the first time I met Romp, then I realised that in every mall, there seems to be a Romp store.  The stores on the ground store are way to high-end for me.  I had a Subway too~, it was so healthy and there are no hidden tax involved.  Next time, I'm gonna go for the 1-foot long bun, Subway is awesome!

 One Utama, it seems small to me, but from the outside, damn its big...  We took a taxi there, but we took the bus back.  One thing I love about the place is that it had this touchscreen directory on every escalator, they are very user friendly too because you can select a store and they will tell u how to get there.  Unfortunately, we did not get to try any of the bistros there, in KL too, on that matter, food is just expensive, compared to home.  I had another spree, haha.  In the end, there was a lot of stores that I missed, not because I did not have the time, because the place was very very confusing.  Finally had Burger King, haha.

Sungei Wang Plaza is quite a good place to shop, can be considered as the smaller version of Times Square, and now then I know that it is actually connected to BB plaza, hehe.  So many things that I can buy there, just did not have the spending power anymore, sadly.

Lot 10 on the other hand literally did not have anything, maybe because it was under renovation?  Tho, the half-price on sushi and bento after 8.30pm drew us to the place twice. Hehe...

Sunway, The Pyramid would be my favourite place to shop among all the ones that I've been to, apart from Midvalley.  It was clean, had all the labels and not confusing at all.  The themepark, wow I played till I was to tired to do anything.  The pirate ship there, Pirate's Revenge was very extreme!  I got spun 360, held up head down in mid-air until all the blood went to my brain.  Went on the rides more than once, except for the Pirate's Revenge, hehe.  We got to see real tigers too, really majestic creatures they are...  Finally went to the wet park this time, nothing scary, just enjoy the exhiliration at high speeds.  We had a hard time getting the bus back to KL from Sunway because we could not find the bus-stop!  Well, we did find it in the end, =)


The next day, which was the last day, did not have much to do.  We were bored, so we went to the airport very early.  Again, we saw great scenery on the plane because the sun was setting, then we got to see the lights of our city from above, hehe...  My parents could'nt recognise me because I was wearing my beanie!

It was a great trip, very proud of ourselves because we used every single type of public transport available.  Monorail, bus, taxi, LRT, komuter and rental van.  I had a great time, not really the time of my life, but still a really great time.  =)


Sorry guys, I'm too lazy to post photos up here, but feel free to see them on my facebook

My Form 6 Life

Seeing that school is starting soon and that I'm no longer part of it, is rather relieving but I do miss it badly...

At first, I was not happy at all, just didn't want to give in to my fate I guess.  I made my choice, and my heart felt better after that, besides, it was what I told myself 2years 3 years ago, if I cant go overseas, I'll stay for Form6, just didn't believe I would actually need to, too confident??

Well, what's done is done, but it doesn't mean I can't live differently, right?  So I did, at least I think I did, behaving differently, making different choices as those I would have made before Form 6.  Like academic excellence is not my top priority, I went to become an all-rounder? Badminton...English club...Science& Maths...Library...VAD... be an active student, and have more fun I suppose...  while your goddess was busy doing paper &  ink exercise, I was watching tv!  XD Where did it get me? Being good enough is significantly different from being the best, I don't miss it so much, no one can have it all.  Perhaps I didn't want to have it all? hehe...



I guess it was a fruitful year.



I participated in lots of activities, making me realize that there's something more powerful than the power to study, and that's the power to make things happen, sounds like bullshit?  When you make something happen, seeing it set in motion, the feeling is just incredible.  Even if you know how to study, you could still be useless, just saying... =P

Then there's the badminton.  First, I said I would only go if there's no homework that Friday, but in 2009, Friday no Maths, maybe it was fate...@@  I think I've improved, compared to before September 2008 (I remember that was when I started going, weekly onwards...)  Wonder how long it would take to make me a formidable foe, LOL...

And then there's the TENNIS!




Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, ATP world tour series... You name it, I've seen it!   Can't believe how I got impressed and taken in by this game... makes me wanna play!  The first match I saw that I remember was the TITANIC Wimbledon final between Nadal and Federer in 08, since then, you can say that I got caught.  This year, I got to see Federer and Sharapova make a comeback!  Cheered for Roddick and his insane serve, saw Kim Clijsters play for the first time, damn she's good...Saw Serena Williams lose it... Ha~~ How I wish I could play... but no one to teach me... sadly...

I love my class, I still do.  Everyday was all laughs and work and homework, tuition, dinner, sleep.  I must say, Form 6 students have more freedom than lower forms, a slightly higher status in school rankings, lol...



Ah~ U6S2, we had such happy times, dreadful ones too...haihz...  I said once, a long time ago, that someday I would thank JPA for NOT giving me the scholarship, because I will have a great time and an awesome form6 life.  It didn't really turn out that way though, I made friends, gained a great deal of appreciative knowledge, sharpened skills, matured?  Still hesitating if I'm satisfied or scorned. 



This photo was taken the night of 080809, I believe its the Jubilee Stadium.  A vague reminder of what happened.  I'll never forget that day,  A big big chapter in my life. 




Form 6, its better than I thought! hehe... but it would have been great, shit happens...



To tell the truth, I deliberately ignored you, calling it an iron wall was..."well phrased", but its over now...em llac

Goodbye 2009!!!

This year... as I told a dear friend of mine, it would have been great, but before I get to that, I wanna describe my day today, haha!

So, I had a dream, a good one I suppose... way to start new year's eve! hehe...  A bunch of people on vacation together, watching a movie, and then something exciting happened during the movie, it's a sign~~~ LOL!  We took a bus in KL and we were singing to some Pokemon song which I didn't know but everyone else seem to know it, weird... The driver got annoyed and dropped us at a resort called "Sabah Thai"  funny...there is no such place...

I woke up, ate a pao, then went to take my IELTS results.  I was a little bit nervous, just a little bit... I was the 1st one to take the results, obsession?? I still remember saying to myself  "at least a 7, at least a 7...", then I said "yay!", then  "Oh,fuck!", cos I only got 6.5 for my writing, but I remember some Uni wanted at least 7 for writing, but when I checked the website again, it was at least 6.0, so I was relieved...

After that, I went home for a while, then went out to lunch with my family!  It was at 三囍楼 but we went to  三川 instead. =='' .  After a long trip sight-seeing around Kuching, finally reached 三囍楼...  the lunch buffet was not bad for my taste, but my family kept complaining about it.  =P

Then after lunch, my sister wanted to hit the banks, so I tagged along.  I saw Mr.Bong and son at Maybank, then after that I saw Mdm Lily on the road with her husband in the silver Avanza while I was waiting in the car outside Public Bank.  What were the odds?  Seeing 2 of my favourite teachers on the same day, on new year's eve too! haha!  Then we went to Hong Leong.  3 banks in 1 day? hmm...  After that we went to Satok, they were having such a sale...so many things had discounts over 50%... I had to resist... T.T      To KL, ppl!!!  I shall have my revenge!

Then it was dinner again, outside... went to 10th mile with lotsa relatives..  Tuu-kah!! Lunch oso got tuu-kah! But different stylings of the tuu-kah! Among other things...

After that, went to Mich's house for countdown, ended on a bad note.   : (



So that was my last day of 2009.  If its me, I would look back at 2009 and give it the finger...
