Oh, Mushy. So They Say.

Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold

Okay, here's my update on what happened on Saturday.

I'm not gonna use all sorts of "bombastic words" to complicate my story xD I'm just gonna go straight to the point. It was a regular weekened. Dad came home from his night shift and took us out to ss3 for breakfast. I should mention here that the Yong Tau Foo and Fried Rice there is so delicious, seriously. So, anyway... Everything seem so casual, you know. I ate a heavy breakfast so that I can skip lunch, also the usual! Everything was normal and casual and so not out of the ordinary. No premonition, bad feeling in the gut, flashes of the future crap... NADA. Then on our way home...

This happened... (My dad's car)

Out of the unexpected. It happened. I was just reading the latest issue of CLEO magazine in the car, CASUALLY. Mom was counting the mangoes she just bought xD Both my brothers were being the chimps they are. And then, my dad's car collided with the car in front. Yes, of course it was an accident. My dad banged into a Proton Wira in front. By the look of the car, obviously Impulse was a great force. Inertia took part too. I was sitting behind. During the collision, I jerked forward and my face banged into the head rest in front. THANK GOD my glasses did not shatter for I can literally go blind! I did got some minor injuries though. I now have several bruises on the inner side of my upper lip. Part of the bruises turned into blood clot. Yesterday, the clot subsided. Not a good news though. Now a small part of my outer lip has signs of injuries. The worst part is, I'm facing trouble eating. Being the glutton that I am, it matters a LOT! I couldn't enjoy my mom's GULAI yesterday ='(( I can't enjoy any dish cause it would send a stinging pain to my lips. To top it all up, I have an ulcer on my tongue which I got a few days before the accident. Life can suck real bad sometimes, agree? Fortunately, no one else got hurt. The driver in front was a 17-year-old cute Chindian. Yes, I checked him out, even at times of disaster xD He took everything in rather calmly. Well, he shouldn't fret cause' the damage on his car wasn't really serious.

It doesn't look bad. But it's quite costly to fix. About RM400 they say.

The weirdest part was right after the accident, a young man who works for a vehicle workshop came "helping" us with the situation. Then he called his "buddy" to come over. Then his "buddy" called his co-worker, the tow-truck fella. Then this "buddy" called the person in charge of claims (whatever you call him). Then this "buddy" called another guy to give my mom, two bros, and I home. All in all, besides my dad and the young driver, there were about 4-5 other men who were not involved! All these people were taking advantage to Cari Makan. Then a modified Proton Perdana that is filled with sporty stickers like a gangster's car stopped at the side to "warn us". Asking us to settle the problem because we were blocking the traffic. I think he was a cop. And probably trying to get some $$$. But he didn't cause the "helpful" guy managed to persuade him that it'll be settled soon. Long story short, my dad had to go all the way to Section 18 to make a polis report cause any accident that happens in PJ has to go to that particular station, note this. My dad had to go through all that hassle in order to get insurance claim on the damage of his car. Just a slight mistake can cause all the havoc!

After the incident, the "buddy" sent us all home. My mood was like totally worn out. Was so close to cancelling the outing to Curve with the bunch. But I ended up going anyway xD What? I haven't been shopping in a long time! I didn't really realise how bad was my injury until I came home from the accident. Must be the all that shock and adreneline pumping that overcome the PAIN. So, yeah. That's what happened on my CASUAL Saturday morning. I would love to use all the flowering words to make this more interesting but I'm rushing to go to Giant now to stock up my JUNK FOOD for the holidays. So, I gotta scurry off.

Did I mention how wacky it is to shop with four girls at a really really cheap flea market at the Curve? No? I must have left that HUGE fact out. Sorreh... xD

OH OH OH OH OH OH!!! JORDIN WON AMERICAN IDOL!



xD Just to spoil it for those who are still waiting for the Via Satellite Telecast *grins*

Mean I know. I apologize in advance =] I was rooting for Blake. But I have to say that Jordin's voice is totally awesome and she deserves it. I still think that Blake will succeed in selling more records than Jordin's cause she will be a bore in years to come while beat boxing is the BOMB! Oh well, at least America realises that it's a Talent Contest not a Popularity Contest.

The Weepies - World Spins Madly On


School was practically dead today. Well, not exactly, aside from the fact that boredom got to everyone of us and we started doing really lame stuff just to entertain ourself. Wait, scratch that. Only the GUYS did all the lame stuff to "entertain" themself. One of which was the bulu-bulu circus act they put up. I have no freaking idea why are guys to fascinated by hairy body parts. I mean, come on... aren't those men's asset or something?! Some were even grosed out at each other's hairyness... To the point of plucking em. Yeah, it was really weird today. I wonder how they would survive being stranded on an island. Hunger wouldn't be their biggest problem!


I was so so so eager to go out till I asked everyone I passed by what they were doing tomorrow. I really wanted to go OUT but no "kaki". Everyone's heading to the MALL. I just don't feel like going to the mall. I wanna go somewhere, anywhere but the MALL xD So I thought long and wide and finally gave in to going to 1utama, reluctantly! That place is dead and being hung out to dry. Everything's the same. Not to mention totally overrated by the rate they charge for parking fees. Anyway, just minutes ago I suddenly felt this really, extremely familiar wave. LAZY AH. Yeap, I felt lazy to lift my bum outa the door. Plus, there's always transport problem and I will end up taking the bus.


So, I went out to the DVD store to stock up for tomorrow. No Shrek. No Pirates of the Carribean. No 28 Weeks Later. No Hills Have Eyes. No Spiderman. No Disturbia. No BORAT. No Wild Hogs. Got Mr. Bean On Holiday. So, yeah. I bought the Mr.Bean movie. Moments after steppping out of the store I went "Fuck! Why the hell did I buy this movie". Standing motionless as the wind blows, feeling these large ears popping outa the tip of my head and an emerging tail. I felt the embarassment as I wore a sign around my neck stating "JACKASS!"

And so I still wish that you would do SOMETHING about it.

Pinata Made Of Steel

Keith Urban - Where The Blacktop Ends

What is life without reality? Whether or not you're a celebrity being "locked up" with plenty of luxury or a President who thinks war is the only resolution or even a dictator who shocked the world with a mere hand gesture. Wherever or whoever you are, there's this little thing called "reality" that would definitely hit you like inertia onto your damned seat. And so you enjoy the sweets and take it all you can with fangs of a glutton, you would realise a pang in your gums just seconds later. Why? Because the phrase "everything has a silver lining" is a desperate measure out of reality. There's no such thing as taking things for granted and not having to pay up to it sooner or later.

I don't know... I'm just a lil' moved about life nowadays. How a single human being can shake your life. I took the public bus today. The last time I sat in a public bus was years ago. So, I see these people... Strangers. Our lives collide because we're together in a mechanical machine, just inches away from each other. I was wondering... What if I spontaneously smile at someone, would I change an estranged mom's life to something that makes her feel more worthy? Would I change a man's decision of lifting himself off the ledge? Or would I make an old lady's last day feeling that maybe "silver lining" isn't gibberish after all. Just because we live in a nation of zillions of people, it doesn't mean you just a little black cube, part of it all. So anyway, the way I look at people has changed tremendously. Suddenly everyone looked beautiful in their own way. There's this flaw that makes everyone seem so interesting. Something delicate inside everyone of us that is so damn fragile. But being human, we always go over the edge to mendle with it and end up getting all bruised up.

And another thing that will never change is the ego and pride that veils everyone. One might think it's not big of a deal, another might think of it as an advantage. But in my point of view, ego and pride damages 20,000 feet deep into the soul. So why are we all moulded this way? God knows, seriously...

Okay, okay. So probably I shouldn't have taken the bus. Seriously, that was how I viewed it. Try looking at it this way. Well, maybe you might think that I should be emmitted into an aslyum or something. It's just that a lot of things that includes a lot of drama has been happening lately. One's the very weird world of friendship, another's an incident of how I could really change a person's life just by showing a little friendly gesture, and the last's the silly bus incident xD So, yeah. I'm not entirely sure that I'm making much of a sense *laugh out loud* But I just felt like saying it =]

Something to lighten things up a little bit... xD

Today I found out that I suck bad in tennis! I was dreadfully awful and it made me frustrated. If you actually offer to take tennis lessons with me, I might actually agree. Just to mend my bruised ego of how I suck in tennis. Grace and Vinser was like BLOODYFREAKINGLY awsome in tennis for poeple who DO NOT take tennis lessons like SOME PEOPLE xD So yeah, I'm awful in tennis!!!

Reliving the Days of When...

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

After some time, I've finally decided to update =] This week has been tiring. Not because of loads of studying unfortunately. It's because of all the last minute's cramping! Seriously. By the word "last minute" it means that study tomorrow's paper today TONIGHT. Thankfully it's all over now! So long books and come along shopping spree!!! I'm like so so so excited and craving to go shopping now. My problem is that I've been saving up so am loaded, but never really had the chance to shop. Coz it always ends up as a hangout and chilling around. And may I say that outing in a group is a NO NO for a shopping spree! It's just a total chaos. Anyhow... So far I haven't went shopping YET. Yes, note the YET. Coz I'm so gonna shop till I drop when it starts. Been so tired lately, so all I have in my mind currently is just sleep sleep sleep and more ZzZzZs. So yeah, I'm just gonna recharge before launching xD Okaay, that's a lame way to put it...

I just got a haircut a couple of hours ago. It's okay, but I kinda regret it coz now I've gotta wait a lil longer for em to grow so I can perm em into soft curls. Bah! Scratch that idea. So, I tried out this saloon in Tmn Megah. They have men hairstylist. Note : men hairstylist are much better, hands down! This fella attended to my hair, and I have to say he's such a perfectionist!! But in his case, it's a good thing. My hairstyle came off well but I just wished that he didn't have to chop off so much. Coz I've been planning to keep my hair long enough to style it up like Giselle Buchen's. Just the hair of course. So yeah, plan's delayed. Anyway, I can't wait to watch the latest trilogy movies!!! But the idea of joining the suffocating bunch of crowd, not to mention annoying little kids, is such a turn off of excitement. So now, I'm waiting for some Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost episodes to complete. Then I'm gonna hop in on my own marathon xD. I'm such a couch potato!

Oh gosh, those killer eyes! *drop dead*

Exams starts tomorrow!! And I'm still fiddling with utter nonsense. Somebody's gotta kick my arse and tell me that if I continue on like this I'm gonna be in deep SHIT!

U2 - Miracle Drug

And so the parteh is over for heiress Paris Hilton aka the biggest.whore, for she is sentenced to jail for 45-days. Oh boohoo...

Paris faught the law, and the law won.

Clearly we know that exams are less than 3 days away, but somehow I still have that "I-couldn't-care-less" mode on. Yes, I have been studying but only a little. My mind keeps stretching somewhere else. Like today, I was supposed to be studying Add Maths, instead I baked cookies. They're not bad by the way xD Notice how people are fretting like the world's gonna end when they realised that exams are much less than a week away. To the extend there's a "thing" in my head that keeps screaming "Shut up, shut up and get a life". I mean come on, it's only exams. Can you imagine yourself in debt next time? Jeez, as though the sky's gonna fall flat on all of us. Yeah, I know... I know... Ya'll gonna rub it in my face when I fail most of my papers while ya'll pass with flying colours. At least I know wrinkles and high-blood pressure's not gonna come my way anytime soon xD

Sarah has this weird weird WEIRD way of defending herself. She brought little pocket cookies with choc in it...

Bryan : They look like dog food
Sarah : Then don’t eat lah
Five minutes later…
Bryan : I want…..
Sarah : Well, these are dog food and only for bitches to eat… (pointing at herself xD)
*crickets creak*

See the connection between Paris and Sarah? Makes you wonder huh? OKAY OKAY, I'm totally kidding!!!

The Sound of A Beat In The Well

Snow Patrol - Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

I've finally changed my blogskin. Been searching and searching and searching and searching and FINALLY found one. I'm really picky and kinda suck at editing. So, yeah.

Attended Davie's 16th birthday last night. Within minutes I spotted a bottle of Jack Daniels and went "JD weei!" I know, so jaccoon. But I'm rather addicted to it, so... enough said. I had a few glasses of JD with Coke, of course... How can I not? I think I might have shot down the last glass a lil too fast cause' I was worried about getting caught red-handed by my mom. Got a lil tipsy after that, it was a clear sign to stop!!! Things became worse when Davie started dragging us to dance. Thankfully the time came to go home where I can PLOP on the couch and watch football xD Clearly stated.... I'm TOO young to drink. Heck, rules are meant to be broken xD

I can't believe Chelsea lost to Liverpool last night. I thought they would at least make it to the final with AC Milan. Yes, I'm predicting that ManU will be defeated tonight.

Well, that's about it for today. Haven't been studying for the whole of yesterday so I better scurry off once again.

Secret Decodes Of Desire

Damien Rice - Rootless Tree

Saturday's update

So, it was another attempt of "the great comeback". Attempt succeeded. I'm talking about Troop Meeting by the way. We did several stationed activities. It was surprisingly fun xD HOWEVER, I was repeatedly embarassed by my lack of scouting skills. Yesh, I felt myself go red when I was questioned on my knowledge on knots. I didn't even know how to use the parang properly! I found it shitty difficult to cut a rafia string with such a huge parang. I felt like burrying my head 30 feet underground when I witnessed JunHsien cutting the rafia string in just a split second!!! Damn embarrasing I tell ya!!! I mean, usually I would be one of the last persons to be called a "dumb blonde", but I felt lower and more idiotic than a whiny lil dumb blonde. To top it all up, I'm now a senior of the troop. Gah... so memalukan *hides under brown paperbag*

Hands of the Clueless

The really frustrating Ketupat making station

Well, I managed to grasp the concept, although not entirely but I MADE IT! *beams* xD (mine's on the left of course)

The guys decided to take advantage of the situation to feed their own curiousity. God knows what...

I look awkwardly petite in the bunch *sobs*

Saw a shocking number of cars with "P" sticker outside of school. Which means all these cars belong to scouters and fellow Upper Six who were taking their MUET exam. Bloody hell... Makes me wanna go "Daddy, I want a car!"

Well, that's all for now. Gotta scurry off to study coz I wasted both previous weekends on nothing. Which reminds me... Gotta print a black n white approval letter to fail SEVERAL subjects from my parents xD ~Toodles

Ever realised that dreams might decode your secret desires?

Some Little Things

Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk - Paperweight

The song above has been playing itself over and over again since last night, in a very annoying way. I found myself humming that song to sleep, freaky I know. I even hummed it when I did my Biology Test this morning, DOUBLE FREAKY! Just listen to it, you would prolly understand why. Did I mention that I <3 Biology??

Tomorrow's a school holiday *skips* Which means I have time to blog. Yeah, been so busy till I barely have time to update this blog. Been saying that over and over again. It takes tonnes of energy to lift my ass from the couch and study for my exams that are LESS than two weeks away. I've been such a lazy person that I have tonnes of unfinished homework... Even homework from two months ago. Gah, I just can't help it...

Anyway, I'm just gonna post up the pictures I took during Bryan's b'day party last Friday.

I still think that's a very small cake, Sarah! =D

Twister was tonnes of fun and laughter. Had tummy muscle aches after that xD

I can't stop mentioning how outrageous Nutty was in Twister. But for her sake, I'm not gonna post up that really "obscene picture" =D

The ever loving "couple" who experiences daily domestic violence. Kinda makes you wonder who plays the girl in the relationship right? xD You should have seen the way Bryan was pushing Vinser... Kinda like they were humping. Nope, not very pleasant scene.

Oh, and we found out how flexible HanLiang can be. A free advertising for you huh? Single, available and flexible... ROFL! I may need a payment for this xD

Bittersweet revenge : As much as I wanna blackmail JunHsien, I know it wouldn't work. Prolly I should blackmail HanHwa instead. xD

Well, that's all for today. I still have tonnes of photos from the party but rather lazy to upload. Ask me online if any of you want em. May I remind ya'll that TOMORROW'S A HOLIDAY xD

Can't get this person outa my mind, kinda need a spell for it...

Life Being A Breeze

Corrine Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

Yes, I know. I'm abandoning my blog again. I can't help it. I have like tonnes of things to do. Today I had to come online to retrieve an approval letter for my PetroSains trip. Nope, it's not done YET. Anyway, came back from a 3 days 2 nights Kembara Camp that was a blast! The activities that they had was a bomb! The seniors are bloody genius. *bows bows* Learned lots of stuffs there. Aside from all the fun, the camp was agonizing. Had bruises everywhere because of the "Steam Roller" and "Obstacle Course". Still having muscle aches and accumulated affect of lack of sleep.

So anyway, this post's gonna be a short one. Just came back from "group study" (I know, har har har) at McD with Nutty and Sarah. Studied Chemistry (Btw, I hate strongly dislike Pn Cheong). We actually benefited from it. Which is a yay yay and a thumbs up for me whom never bothered to have any group studies ever in my life till subjects like Add Maths, Physics, and Chemistry came along. I <3 Biology.

My dad doesn't understand my SHORT message ===> 'no. sry, am at mcd"
"What's SRY and MCD?" he asked, which made me laugh my friggin ass off. In case you didn't get that either, it's SORRY and MCDONALD =)

I'm gonna quote someone before I log off.

Butterfly Boucher - Never Leave Your Heart Alone

I'm really confused. I have thrillons of questions pumping into my neurological mind. It takes more than a second to register. Wondering how things happen and why. And how silly it is to regret...
Plus I did something really foolish and unspeakable. I can't say... It's unspeakable.

It's finally out! Haven't heard of this like you haven't heard of SAW sequels? Then, you have to be from Malaysia because as usual they ban movies like these. Pussies... Anyway, the first show was awesomely gruesome. I can't wait to watch this.

Not suitable for the faint-hearted, children, pregnant women, and yes, pussies....

Wanna know more about the movie? Visit http://www.foxatomic.com/#movie:TitleId=5 and try the game. It made me shiver in my chair, seriously!

The Shackles Are Undone

U2 - Windows In the Skies

My blog has been abandoned for what seem like "lightyears".
Anyway, while others got a week long of holidays, I got TWO weeks extended holidays. Not that I enjoyed it that much because I was HOSPITALISED. Yeap, that's right. So here's what happened... I came back from Scouts Camp and fell sick. Got a high fever, didn't recover and actually ended up in the Emergency Room. The infamous "ER". It was not much of a Big Deal cause' I only emmited because of my low blood/platelets count and the non-dropping fever. So, the doc just put me on drips and all I could do was wait. I emmited in SJMC cause' my insurance covers that hospital. Yes, thank God for insurance if not I might just have to sit at GH or UH and die. No, it wasn't that serious.

Oh right, I have not mentioned my diagnosed yet xD It's early stage of Dengue. Hasn't reached the danger stage where bleeding occurs YET. THANK GOD! But still had to stay at the ward for 4 days cause my blood count doesn't seem to rise until my mom literally forced me to drink "Bittergourd with Frog" soup. I DON'T CARE IF FROGS TASTES LIKE CHICKEN OKAY? My stomach is restricted to DOMESTIC ANIMALS ONLY. I had to drink it anyway, in order to discharge from the ward. But before that I had to sipped more than a teaspoon of stinky and bitter "papaya leaf juice". It was plain nasty but a miracle worker. My blood count then shot up from 80,000 to 115,000. How great was that? So, next time if any of your relatives who happen to be unlucky and gets bitten by a bloody motherf**ker *coughs* mosquito. So, anyway... I'm fine. Still alive *coughs* My doctor gave me one week's lift and I can't go back to school till next week. So, I had a week's extended holiday. "Yay"! Right... After what I've gone through... I wouldn't mind NOT getting that extra week by NOT falling sick.

That's my left hand. They inserted a tube into my hand. The needle was a thin strip of plastic which made a VERY PAINFUL entry into my hand.

That's the sodium drip.

Now, that's the GLUCOSE drip. Which explains why I've been kinda "high". Yes, I'm pretty sure it's Glucose and not MORPHINE!

So, here's what happened. On the early morning of the second day of my stay, this young nurse came in to replace my drip bag. She sorta pulled the tube and back-flow happened. Then, the drip couldn't work cause' the needle was out of place. SO, the nurse had to insert a new needle into my hand. I had to go through that excruciating pain all over AGAIN. And it had to be on the same hand (even though different position). "Thanks, nurse!"

Thankfully they did the second one securely!!! I have to say, the pain was indescribable. I wouldn't wanna go through that again. Now I've been there, done that. TWICE!

Now, this has been my hero for the past 4 days. It has an incredible nurse call button and it controls the LIGHT and the TV from my bed. Pretty cool huh... xD It sure is when you're stuck in bed!!!

Thankfully I could still watch football! They were repeats though... They had StarSports but no ESPN. Can you imagine?!

The time to remove The Tube came. And when it did, it wasn't pleasant. It couldn't stop bleeding immediately. The nurse had to put real PRESSURE to stop it from bleeding. What I mean is, she had to press my hand really hard for a few minutes while I sit there helplessly...feeling the pain... See that tiny dot above the bleeding one with the plaster? That's the first failed one.

I was so bored till I filled up my time decorating the hospital's serviette. I even created my own "airlines" logo. In case I ever have one of my own. Okay... Now I'm just crapping!!

Now, I practically look like a silly JUNKIE. Why? I have needle bruises around my arm. The lab staff comes in at 7am to draw blood for blood test every morning, disturbing my sleep. If you think that's privacy invasion, the nurses comes in and out of the room almost every 2 hours. They even wake me up at 5am just to take my temp and blood pressure.

One of the nurses came in and saw me in my Taman SEA Librarian t-shirt. So happen her brother's in Taman SEA too and he's the same age as I am. Small world. Couldn't remember the name she mentioned. xD Anyway, I just wanna say that being a Nurse is a very NOBLE job. I salute em'!

Well, alright alright. That's all. I know, it's so weird to have a pictured documentary about being hospitalised for Dengue. But I was extremely bored and couldn't move around so that's practically all that's left to do. Take pictures. xD Just an advice for ya'll. Whenever you're out camping, just listen to your Momma and bring along that bloody mosquito repelent okay?

Deep In the Gut

Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine

I can't even begin to remember the last time I fell really ill. As in fever and stay-in-bed kinda ill! I recently fell really ill. Had really high fever in the middle of the night and felt like I was shipped to the north pole! Well, I guess that's a tough lesson for bathing at 1 a.m before going to bed. Thankfully it broke into a fever instead of Pneumonia. I'm pretty sure that it could have been a lot worse cause I literally felt like dying! It was THAT bad! I had to stay in bed for the whole of yesterday. Only got up for a few bites of meals then went straight back to slumber. I usually refuse in taking meds, not that I can't but I don't want to. It's just that I don't believe in the meds shits... It's hard to explain. Anyway, I still feel really groggy and close to being dead. My stomach has been doing flip flops every 5 minutes for the past friggin hours. Trust me, it ain't a sensational feeling! And I hate hate hate it that all my plans are ruined just because I can't walk a straight for like 5 metres without feeling the urge to throw up. Life is such a mess!

Tainted Desires

The Verve Pipe - Bittersweet Symphony

This year's CNY has been one of the most memorable. There was loads of surprises and tonnes of changes! For instance, it rained... The weather is surprisingly bearable. Usually it's friggin hott everywhere, especially Penang for it is a tiny lil island absorbing heat from the whole nation! Had plenty of unexpected experience. Discovered secrets and weird facts of my extended family. It's been a "thrilling ride". NO, I swear I'm not exaggerating!

1st day :

So, as I keep repeating that it rained, it has been a typical 1st day of CNY like any year. Had relatives over at my Grandpa's house. Ate the same thing every year - Jiu Hu Char (erm, you know the dish when plenty of veggies and tiny slices of cuttlefish? yeah that), Curry Chicken, Lobak (chopped pork/chicked wrapped up in Foo Chuk, don't know how to explain Foo Chuk... It has something to do with beancurd), Pig's Stomach Soup (as disgusting as it sounds, it tastes real good!), Braised Pig's Feet (Do not ask me how it tastes! I've forbid myself for eating animal's feet!). So, yeah. That's practically IT. Collected loads of AngPau. And had plenty of headaches caused by kids running around from all corners. The worst part is, my Grandpa's flat isn't really that spacious. So, I was gasping for air out of all the screams and googoogagas. On the very first day, the adults started to gamble. Like previous years, they played Gin Rummy over and over and over again. They never get bored. God knows why. But I have to say, it's pretty interesting especially when you keep getting 6 bucks for finishing all the cards in your hands.

Ohh ohh... I won 10 bucks from playing... erm erm.... It's this simple betting game where you get three cards and your points is from 1-10. Yeah, 10 bucks ONLY while others won 100 over!

This is practically what they do whenever there's a reunion. Talking isn't really their "Thing". =) Note the half-naked guy? He is the most hilarious, kiddish, fun and sometimes repulsive uncle I've ever had.

My dad. See that smile? I think he was partially "drunk". Bottom line : He CANT drink. But I can xD

This BIG guy over here's a family friend of many many years. Kids call him Uncle Dinosaur cause' his last name is Saw. I was once that KID.

This is my eldest aunt. She seriously does not look her age! Believe it or not, she's in her late fourties. Did I mention that she's pro in line dancing?

This is the hilarious uncle. Sometimes I wonder how my dad can be so dead serious at times while his younger brother manages to crack up jokes every 5 minutes! I hope my uncle doesn't sue me for posting his not-so-good-shape picture in public. Nah, I think he'll probably be flattered!

This fella is one of my eldest cousin. He's in his late twenties. Notice the huge gap? By the look on his face...Obviously, it wasn't his day of Gin Rummy.

2nd day :

Was pretty the same as the 1st. Then went to my uncle's restaurant, Hot Wok. Dang it! I wanted to go to his pub, Uptown, so badly this year. But he no longer visit his own pub after he got a stroke. There goes my Vodka Lime! Anyway, nothing much happened there. It wasn't as interesting as visiting him in his Pub because there are tonnes of entertainment there. There's the pool tables, karaoke, and a live band. AND you can actually see a couple of hooker like girls around, with those micro-mini skirts and net-stockings. I guess I've just figured out why my uncle no longer wish to visit that particular Pub that often anymore.

I did this while waiting for my relatives to arrive.

My bro's in the middle. The little one on the left is JJ, the hilarious uncle's son. One on the right is Nick, rich man's son xD

3rd day:

Went to another's uncles house for dinner. This was supposed to be fun. But it wasn't. Because there was no wine, no gambling, and not much of talking. Well, I guess I felt out of place because I only see them once a year. So our topics are just a mile of a difference away. Watched Material Girls, which I so regret wasting my dang time. That show sucks! The story line is just the lamest thing ever written. It's like as though the script writter just got tired of his/her job and decided to screw her way through to wasteland. Hilary and Haley are no better. They are just plain and confused ol' dumb blondes. Seriously! I thought Hilary does pretty well as an actor, but now her acting is just as BAD as her singing career. So, yeah. Thank goodness my cousin, Sara was there. Which sorta lightened things up a lil because we like to crack up silly jokes and just laugh about it. Did I mention that she's pretty dang corrupted? Explains a lot huh?

I shall skip the 4th day. All I did was followed my cousin home to feed her five dogs. I don't know how she manage a German Shepard, a Mini Pincher, a Silky Terrier, and two Speeds. They seem like a pretty handful!!! Other than that we just slept and laze around xD



5th day :

This was a great closing for the week. Went over to my OTHER UNCLE's house at Butterworth. I'm sorry, my Grandparents from both sides seem to be typical horny olden couples, just like everyone else back in those days. Oh, and May They Rest In Peace! Dad's side has 3 daughters and 5 sons. Mom's side has 5 sons and an only daughter. In fact, it's not considered MANY you know. I know other "senior citizens" who have 15 kids! ANYWAY... This particular uncle is pretty darn rich. He owns two homes. And did I mention that he loves talking about Golf? I mean, don't start that topic because he can go on and on and on for hours! Well, yeah. I'm exaggerating. That's pretty much all I did for the past few days. Anyway, my uncle's compound is huge! You can easily have 5 Siberian Huskies there!

It ain't exactly a Bangalow. It's just a one and a half storey terrace with a really huge compound!

Dad kept asking "Envy? Envy?" He thinks that we're not thankful that even though we live in an apartment, we have a roof above our head. And a whole lot of comfy pillows =))

Had my first JD with coke. It was awesome! I kept drinking that the whole day. I kept asking my uncle if it was okay if I wanted MORE. He just went on saying "It's alright. I've still got TWO more bottles in the cupboard..." Obviously, you could have guessed what happened next. I didn't exactly get drunk. I did feel all giddy and dizzy and my hands and feet were numb and I just felt like throwing up because things were moving up and down like a see-saw. BUT I was still very sane. So, I guess it was just a pre-drunk stage. Which means I had my first "high" moment. I got to use the phrase "I had too much too drink" for the first time. But I didn't get my first hangover YET.

After that, we went for dinner at Tambun. The owner of the restaurant was bloody generous man! He gave us a whole box of cracker for free. There were hundreds of crackers. But it finished so quick because other customer's kids came over and it was gone just like that!

Well, that's BASICALLY it. Had a lot of fun, surprisingly. I don't usually fit in because I WAS horrible in Hok Kien and I'm stuck in the middle. Most of my cousins are either too old or too young. But now, I get to fit in with the adults and soon... My cousins and I had lots to talk about. It's funny how time flies and it changes everything! One week passed so fast, now I wish that it's still the 1st day of CNY. Sigh! Not to mention that we'll all have to go back to school on Monday!!! I'm feeling so darn lazy.

Now I have to finish all these because everyone back in Penang chose Tiger, Carlsberg and Jack Daniels over em'. I think I'm so gonna bloat!

Dark Tar With Linnen Stripes

Rascal Flatts - Broken Road

I am back from Penang! Practically gasping for air! Haven't been online for a week. Seems like EVERYONE managed to blog while I'm more than 300 miles away from everything. Anyway, I just got back today. Had a really lethargic journey. Slept three times through. Now my ass feels numb. The traffic was surprisingly bare. Well, this year's CNY is filled with PLENTY of surprises!! Especially the weather! It RAINED on the first day of CNY, can you believe it? In my entire life, I don't remember it ever raining, in PENANG, on any days of CNY. My mom actually thinks that the world is coming nearer to apocalypse. No, I'm not serious. Anyway, I'm really tired right now. Suddenly lost all mood to blog. Even my English is going haywire in affects of speaking Hok Kien for a week. So, I shall continue tomorrow when the sky is blue-er and the grass is green-er and when my stomach is making much less of a FUSS!!! Nightey nights...

Pupil In Denial

Vanessa Carlton - Thousand Miles

I, Stephanie, hereby declare that I hate hate hate being ill!!! I don't usually whine about falling sick. But at times like this, 3 days away from CNY? I'm pissed. I'm having sore throat and am already losing my darn voice! The problem I fear most. That's because I lost my voice completely, last year's CNY. Actually it was fine until I stubbornly gulp down a whole glass of Vodka Lime which took my voice away for the next 2 weeks. I fear it's coming again. Usually I DO NOT take meds when I'm not feeling well. But I have been taking the traditional Pei Pa Koh for the past 4 nights. But that was not the worst part...





THIS is the worst part - Ho Yan Hor. Never heard of it? Neither have I until yesterday. Dad literally forced me to drink it. You think it doesn't look bad? Think again.

No no and NO it's not coffee although it looks like it. It's a horrible herbal drink. It took me 30 minutes to finish that up. Seriously!!!

I know, I know... You're currently thinking. What the f*ck is that shit?? Yes I realise that it looks like a loo bowl with pee, a chunk of shit and a GIANT spoon in it. But no, it's just that friggin drink with ASAM. And YES, it does taste as bad as it looks!!! Which is why I'm declaring a hate club against Sore Throat!!

Anyway..... It was Valentine's Day yesterday! I saw a guy outside of my school holding a bouquet of flowers, first thing in the morning, front gate - So Sweet. Saw loads of people smoooching publicly *PDA ALERT*. Oh, I also heard JJ&Rudy. JJ was rambling about Happy SAD day (Single Awareness Day). He was being so emo. Said something like it's the worst day for singles because everywhere they go they'll see "I heart you, You heart me" <3 here and <3 there. xD He made it seem so miserable to be single. But you know what? It ain't so bad to be single, seriously! You can check out both guys and gals whenever and wherever you want =D.

I got this pweetty Daisy from Dav. I hope it lives, cause I'll be away for a week. Love you loads!!!

I got this funny but adorable looking Flamingo from Jean. Sarah thinks there's an inside meaning in giving me a long legged Flamingo key chain. I hope not xD Thanks Jean!

Got kisses chocs from Melia and Wyeen, love you gals to the max!! Muaxx. Plus, that day was filled with DISHONEST but flattering wishes from the guys.

Well, that day has come and gone. I'll be leaving for a 4 hours ride to Penang tomorrow. Not to mention my "fasting" from the net. Patheticly, my grandfather does not have a computer. He's more of that "EVERYTHING HANDS ON" person, funny man... Anyway, here comes CNY with loads of AngPau and Gambling and food food food. AND Vodka Lime here I come!!!

GONG XI FA CHAI everyone!!
