Crazy Me

Yesterday was quite a day for me. I had no idea what went through my mind, but yeah, I accomplished it and I never thought I would do it.

Basically, I made a consultation appointment with my Management Accounting Tutor - Mr Fan -. It was scheduled at 2pm to 3pm. Also, I asked my dearie Sheik out for an afternoon drink, as she was going to leave - and she's already on her way back to Manchester for her retake -. Furthermore, since it was 14th July - chinese calendar -, my family has this tradition, to have "reunion dinner" at my grandma's place. So, what came to my mind was, to walk to college, walk to the train station, meet sheik, take a train back to PJ. And to my surprise, I had no doubt on it.

I began my "journey" at 1.25pm, under the oh-so-hot-and-burning sun. I kept walking, and the first few minutes felt like FOREVER. At the meantime, I was worried bout my own safety, as there has been lots of kidnapping and unwanted cases lately. SO, I had to be really alert and whenever a vehicle is near, I would stop and look at the vehicle's car plate and driver. Half way through, I thought of turning back, but then, my first half walk would be "Wasted". Somehow, the determination in me, managed to get over, and I continued walking under the burning sun, and, I arrived at my destination, ADP BUILDING @ SUBANG SQUARE. It took me 30 minutes, as I reached at 1.55pm. So, I headed to my tutor's room and went through "Relevant Cost".

The consultation session took 1 hr, and after that, I had to walk to the train station, which was opposite Carrefour. Similarly, I began looking around, to ensure I was safe. Surprisingly, there were many students walking to the train station, and my worries had lessen. My journey started at 3.04pm and I reached the station at 3.26pm. Approximately 20minutes walk.

Then, hoped on to the train, reached Mid Valley, and I was so exhausted and sweaty and sticky. We then had a drink and talked at Starbucks. The aircond was AWESOME!!!

Then, at around 5.30pm, I had to walk back to the train station (KTM), stop at KL Sentral, and take the LRT (Rapid KL) to PJ.

The people at the station (KL Sentral's LRT) were sooooooooooo considerate and organised. Everyone queued up - and i really mean QUEUE up -, and waited for the train. When the train arrived, they went in one by one, and when it's full, they eventually stop. They're just so nice... UNLIKE people at KTM. They're nothing like them. They're selfish, inconsiderate, and no words can describe how un-mannered they are. Terrrible!!!

However, LRT was seriously packed!! Everyone was squashed - and butts were touching butts. Luckily, I had my bag and books to protect me from being touched!! hahahaahah.. TQ BAG AND BOOKS.

Reached PJ at around 6.30pm - was all drained out from the walking and switching and squashing. Yet, it was a great experience, and I was really proud of my self - never in my entire life, I thought I would do that -.

*Pat on the back*

Anyway, today went shopping at Sunway Pyramid with my cousin, Shu Wen. I wanted to get a pair of ballerina shoes and look for white pants, BUT, I ended up getting more than that. Let's see.... I bought:

1. A pair of shoes - From "Sui Sui"

2. A white jeans - From "Miss Selfridge"

3. 2 Tops - From "Forever 21"

4. 3 Tops - From "MNG" : one of it is my mum's

5. A vest - From "Roxy" : I love the vest!!!

6. A "Playsuit" - From "Billabong" : Very rare, can hardly find and it's really cute

7. A bag - From "Carlo Rino"

Apart from that, bought this waist belt, online, from "Petite Treasures". Really cute. Also, bought a camera (Canon Powershot A590) at Digital Mall, Section 14, PJ.

Crazy me. Must be taken over by the "Shopaholic Mei Xin"

Wonder what my dad's gonna say when the statement comes.

*fingers crossed*

再见了

一切已结束了

我再也没机会待在你身边 - 看这你的眼睛，看这你睡觉的模样 -

不再有机会大声的骂 : "不要再抽烟了!!!"

不再有机会看见你玩你宝贝乌龟的模样

再也没机会躺在你胸口， 抱着温暖的你

再也不能看见你吸引我的背

大手不能再牵着小手

你宽厚的肩膀也离我远去

但谢谢你曾经给我这机会

这4年来， 我们经过不少的风风雨雨

但到最后还是被打败

虽然我不能守护你， 照顾你

我会化成天使守护着你

谢谢你这一路陪我， 让我，迁就我

我很感激

谢谢你

Those Days

Just came back from Jean's house.

A really great day - memories all coming back < :

Went for movie - Redcliff 赤壁 - at Mid Valley with Ron, Shake and Queenezy

After movies went for dinner at Yuen Steamboat with my BFFs - Shake, Jean, Teng and Jia.

It's been a while since the five of us had dinner together - apart from the dinner at Dao-rae.

Food was alright, except for the oh-so-hard-to-get chicken wings - pple were literally flocking over the chicken like nobody's business : seriously, it's hard to describe and u'll have to see it to believe it.

After dinner, went over to Jean's place - what we used to do back in form 5 : chat crap gossip take pics and many many more : didn't have this for a REALLY REALLY LOOOOOONG TIME.

Really tired now but I dont feel like sleeping.

Have to study but NOOOOO my laziness is taking over me.

NOTE TO MYSELF : STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!!!

Accommodation (Toronto Road)

For Zhong Li and Elaine. . .

Hey gurl. . here are the videos on the house.

Also, Elaine!!! Attached are some pics of the house's exterior - for u to have a look ;)

Video 1: Entrance into the House - Recorded as my cousin walked down from the stairs

Video 2: Lower Level's Large Room

Video 3: Living Hall + Kitchen + Garden

Video 4: Upstair's Bathroom

Video 5: Upstair's Double Bedroom

Pic 1: Outside of the house

Pic 2: Side door to the garden - also accessible from the front

Pic 3: To the left of the main entrance , about 600m - bus stop and convenient store

Pic 4: Other houses for rent

Pic 5: Roundabout outside UWE

Below are the comments made by my cousin:

a. Condition : not too good - old and abit of carpet smell (those house around that area are all very old ie 1930s and i bet the condition can not be any much better than what i've seen)

b. Surrounding - its generally college/uni kind of students. Surely black people are present but not concentrated (they are everywhere anyway). Well, its not a porsh area and i guess you shouldn't expect more?

c. Other things that you shoud know:

i. the good stuff: there's two bus that goes from your area (toronto road) to the uni. I don't know the second one but i manage to try bus 70 (operated by 'first). One bus at each different end of the road. - bus 70 is about 5min , and the other about 1min.For bus 70 - it takes around 10-15min to your UWE, along the way, there's retail shops ie halfords, McD...and loads of others. Bus is about 30min interval.

ii. Convenient store - have got one just at bustop - 5 min away- not too bad

d. other contract stuffs:

i. waterbill/sewerage - landlord pays

ii. council tax - not applicable for students and hence required to pay

iii. internet/phone/gas/electrivity - tenant (how much? - the landlard is a complete duh - can't even give me an estimate - they are really old - as old as the houses there)

iv. room rates - GBP206 for the small room, 240 for each other big rooms

v. tenancy period - at least 6 mths contract : can the tenancy period be extended up to Nov

vi. repair - all will be done by landlord upon you calling them. they will bear the cost unless is something not related to wear n tear

vii. kitchen utensils - included

viii. who maintain garden and reduced rent during July' & Aug (forget to ask about this but by the sound of it - she doesn't even want to reduce a penny - which leads to my second point below)

ix. can you take whole house & will it be cheaper (yes- u can take whole house and sublet one out yourself but rates will not be any cheaper - she was suggesting that she's offering about GBP40 per month cheaper than others - maybe u can find this out with your friend?

Do let me know what u gurls think ASAP

- whether to go ahead with the accommodation or not -

P/S: Recent Updates from my Cousin.

hi there. well i think there's something u guys need to consider. i've only been able to view one unit and hence couldn't tell how it fare against the rest. but based on June's casual questions to those who knows Bristol, you couldn't expect more. nonetheless, u have to remember this - u can NOT compare the house that u r staying against mine. Mine is <10yrs>

Form 5 Gathering

Last Saturday (26/7/08), went Pyramid for "5 Lambda 2005 Class Gathering"

The gathering was scheduled at around 1.30 pm. However, when Sheik and I arrived at around 2.30pm, only Lily, Nicholas and Teng were there. As for the rest, they were not there YET!!

So, the 5 of us headed over to Pasta de Gohan - quite interesting place to go as they combined japanese style with pasta, fusion i guess -

While waiting for our seats, Khee Wei and Amir arrived. So, those were the people for the day, at the moment. 7 of us out of 30 students , quite depressing actually.

Nevermind then, we finally got our seats and i guess the place was jinxed or something like that. When taking a group pic, khee wei's camera slipped from his hand and landed on the floor!! Fortunately, it was OK!! =)

After we had our food, we talked. We talked bout those old times and took the opportunity to keep up with each other's life. It was a really nice time to chill out with old friends and get to see that everyone's doing great. Not long, Lily had to leave, leaving the 6 of us - Amir, Teng, Khee Wei, Nic, Sheik and Me!! -

Then, Khee Wei decided to chill out Yogur Berry - cuz he wanted to eat the "Frozen Yogurt" ;) -

Before that, Nic called up Doug and Julian to join us and they agreed. So, we went called for the bill and headed to Yogur Berry.

Yogur Berry!!!!!!!

Really nice interiors - all pink, heart shapes : quite gay for guys tho ;D -

So, Sheik, Teng and I ordered a Double Frozen Yogurt with Dragonfruit, Mango, Banana and White and Black Choco Chips. It costs us RM5.25 per person :] .

While waiting for our yogurt, we played uno - the deck of uno was on the table - , and before we even started, Doug and Julian arrived ;)

That was a really great time to hang with old friends as it really brought us closer - despite not meeting each other for quite some time -

Although we did nothing much that day, it was really a nice time as i get to see my classmates.

Anyway, all the best to all my friends in their future undertakings and we'll meet up, again, someday. ;)

Back From Redang

Redang!!!

I Like!!!

It's been a really fun and tiring trip!

I love the sea and the beach. . It's so CLEAN!!!!! - really really clean - unlike other beaches -

Day 1 @ Laguna Redang

We arrived at the Hotel at around 11.

We were greeted by the PR guy and as soon as he finished his talk, we headed over to the lobby.

At the lobby, we were welcomed with Welcome Drink - which was some kind of assam drink, quite good as it was refreshing -.

Since lunch was not ready, we relaxed ourselves by chilling out at bar's outer seats and enjoyed the ocean view.

Surprisingly, time passed really fast and we headed over to the restaurant. Due to our kiasu-ness, we managed to get a really nice seat which overlooked the sea.

Lunch was filling and it was quite good actually.

After lunch, we headed to the reception area to collect our room keys, luckily our rooms were ready and we headed to the rooms.

By the way - Laguna Redang is where they shot 夏日的抹抹茶 - so, you can see the MORE MORE TEA INN : btw, the hotel plays the movie 24/7.

After settling our luggages, headed over to the beach for a walk.

Sadly, only my boy and I went for the walk as Andrew and his girl went for their diving trip.

So, under the hot sun, we walked on the beach whilst enjoying the clear ocean.

However, due to the burning sun, we headed back to our room - it was seriously hot -.

Surprisingly, i was too tired to enjoy that day and slept during the whole afternoon. When I woke up, it was approx 630pm.

Showered, and went for dinner.

After dinner, sat by the pool side, whilst starring at the star.

Later, we sat by the beach, and had some drinks, and enjoyed the night sea breeze.

Basically, that was my first day @ Laguna - kinda wasted tho. Sad me ;(

Day 2 @ Laguna Redang

Day 2 was a better day. Woke up early in the morning, went for breakfast at the restaurant.

After breakfast, went for a walk on the beach and headed back room to get ready for our first snorkelling trip - it was supposed to be our second one, but we missed the first session on the first day *sadddd* - .

We waited for everyone at the recreation centre, and the briefing started once everyone arrived.

We took a speed boat to Marine Park - 15 mins from our hotel -.

Snorkeling at Marine Park was exciting as it was my time snorkelling.

Fishes were really cute tho.

Unfortunately, we had to be aware of jellyfish - surprisingly, it was jellyfish season, and the last time they "came out", it was 10 years ago : so, m i considered lucky or not???? hmmmm. . . sth to think about ;D -.

We left at almost 1145 and by the time we reached the hotel, lunch was ready.

So, went up to the room to dry up and went back down to the restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, we went for a short walk and headed back to the room to prepare for our next snorkelling trip @ 2.30pm.

We waited at the "waiting centre" @ 2.30 and to our surprise, no one was there. However, more people came time passed.

And when it was around 3.00pm, we headed to our destination - which i do not know -.

It was suppose to take us less than 5 mins to our destination, but due to the current, we had to change our destination which took at least 20mins ;( .

So, our speedboat stopped, and everyone gathered around the "stairs".

This snorkelling trip was WAY better than the morning one, as we snorkelled in the middle of the sea.

The fishes were much nicer and the corals were way prettier.

Really enjoyed the afternoon trip.

Similarly, when it was over, we headed back to the hotel, dried ourselves, and went for dinner.

After dinner, my boy and I followed Andrew and his gf to this "Diving Lecture Hall" to watch the video that they recorded throughout their diving trip.

To my surprise, there are many underwater sea creatures that we've never seen before, and it made me wanna learn diving ;D.

After that, we headed back to the beachside bar, ordered a bottle of red wine, and the 4 of us talked and drank and watched "Tokyo Drift".

That night was about it.

Day 3 @ Laguna Beach

Woke up at 9 - suppose to wake up at 530 : to see the sunrise.

Was too tired and drained out due to y'day's snorkelling trip.

Went for breakfast, and went for our last walk at the beach.

Headed back to our room.

Packed our stuffs and headed to the reception to check out.

I really wanna go back there!!!!!

I love the colour of the sea, the beach the sand and everything there!!

It's just so relaxing.. .

Really have to get myself out of the oh-so-busy-and-hectic-city

Need some time off to relax and that definitely is the right place for me.

REDANG. . . . . .. I'LL C U AGAIN ;)
