My ridiculously long post

Ok this is one of the rarest, rarest occasions where I have the mood to blog, really. As I have told Lyn, when it comes to blogging, I am at my maximum limit of laziness. Don’t really feel like blogging anymore. I suspect noone’s really gonna read this blog anyway. But then again, I guess it’s good to document ur life a bit from time to time. And u know why I say this is one of the rarest time I would blog? Well, because it’s bloody 6.56 am in the morning. Dammmmn, got woken up by my sis when she’s getting to go to school cause I sleep in the same room as her. And now I can’t sleep anymore.

I have a feeling this is gonna be a long-winded post.. it’s been months I haven’t been blogging.

Shenny’s hair is not that ugly as she described in the last post. Seriously. To me, it looks okay, not disastrous-looking.

I still feel very weird that everyone’s driving. Haha, wonder when I’ll ever get used to that. It’s like every single one of my friends who are my age is driving. EVEN those who are one year younger than me. The only person I noe who’s not driving yet is Felicia (she’s learning now though) and Sim Yang. HMPFFFF, makes me feel useless. Haha I cannot stop complaining about that. I tell u, it feels like I’m disabled. Hahahahahha, so drastic. Like I cannot move around myself.

After I got back from Brunei, I went to KL from 7-27 December. It was a pretty decent holiday I guess. Might be a little too long haha. But believe it or not, I really felt there wasn’t enough time for me to shop. Well, partly due to the fact that my grandmother is really ill at the moment, suffering in her final stage of cancer. So I can’t really go out everyday right? A bit too rude. So gotta stay at home in my uncle’s house once in a while and not go out and have FUN.

I’ll just summarize my trip in KL because if I describe too much, lots of paragraphs will definitely appear:

- Was really star-struck because we saw quite a number of celebrities/people involved in the entertainment business (including hosting on TV shows). They are:
--Rynn Lin Yu Zhong (went to his concert) and..
--his guest stars were Ah Du & JJ Lin Jun Jie
-- TVB's Bosco Wong
-- Astro AEC's Phoebe together with BoyzFrenz
-- Astro Wah Lai Toi's Wong Chui Ling
-- U noe, that ABC teacher we used to watch when we were kids, who acts in Holland village, i
think her name is Lee Ping.
-- Went to this event hosted by 8TV for Why Why love (now showing every weeknight at
8.30 pm) where the 3 main stars of the series were there to promote the series to Msians.

- Went to Genting for a one-night stay trip. I really cannot go to Genting anymore. There’s nothing for us to do anymore. Everything looks the same, and we’ve practically gotten on all the rides before in the past few years. So we cam-whored a lot this time with my cousins.

- Went to Singapore for three days, two nights stay by bus. We took the bus (or coach as they call it) and it took about 5 hours to get down there from KL. It was quite comfortable if you were to ask me. Haha and it’s really weird, the seats are quite similar to a plane’s seat. And they serve food, announce things thru the intercom, u can watch movies with a little TV (gotta share though), and they have a “steward”.

- In Singapore, went shopping practically everyday BUT didn’t buy much. We stayed in a hotel in Orchard Road, called Meritus Mandarin Hotel. So…. the stuffs on that road are not exactly cheap. Most of the things are branded -_-“ How do you expect me to buy anything? Sigh. Managed to get myself to splurge on a pair of shoes ( I LOVE SHOES!). Went to the Night Safari on one of the nights. And it’s GREAT. Apparently, it had won some tourist destination awards. U get to see tribal dances, see animals in their nocturnal state quite closely, watch animal shows, etc etc. Back on Orchard Road, I’ll just like to say it’s the perfect cam-whoring place to be. You can take pictures till your camera go on fire & till ur face gets cramped from all that smiling there (a little exaggerated, obviously), with all the street decorations and lightings. Ohh, and the street performances, they’re quite amusing.

- Ok, Singapore was well summarized, moving on back to KL, LOL. My shopping aim in KL was to get lots of dresses & shoes. Somewhere towards the end of the KL trip, I was so into getting tops. So I got just a few dresses, and 5 pairs of shoes (which includes sandals, heels, ballet flats) and about 6/7/8 (don’t remember and lazy to count) tops. Can’t believe I didn’t get any skirts/jeans/shorts. That is so weird of me.

- Didn’t get to go to the Pavillion/Mid valley gardens. But I’m not that disappointed cause I definitely won’t be able to buy their branded goods. So, I’ll stick to Sunway Pyramid, Sg. Wang, 1-Utama (only went for a few hours, sad), Mid Valley, Times Square (didn’t go~). Wah I just realized I only went to so little shopping centres. So saddening. More time in KL, less time to shop, what the heck?

- Met up with friends from Melbourne who live in KL. Nice day, had Italian food at The Curve, a little shopping at 1-U and Ms.Read for tea and lots of catching up. I like The Curve, the atmosphere’s really nice.. so relaxing. I feel like I can just sit there at any of their cafes/restaurants for a whole day, just chatting with friends.

- When it comes to food, it’s super duper thumbs up! I saw my dream foodstall everywhere. Hahaha, sai mai lo, Lyn, plentyyy! I miss Hokkien mee, the yummy honeydew sai mai lo at Gei Dak Sek, lok-lok, oyster omelette (oh-jian), escargots (French snails) and baked oysters from The Ship, yong tau foo with chee cheong fun and sweet sauce, mamak food, etc.

- Wasted 2 days and 1 morning’s time to get my Malaysian learner’s permit for driving and each of these days I have to wake up at 6 am. 1 day to go and attend a 5-hr class on the road laws, 1 morning for the law test which I successfully passed after one day of cramming on the previous day (46/50 ok, don’t play play. hahah actually, it’s no biggie, 42 is passing mark) & 1 day to go for a 6-hr class on car engines and gears which is an absolute waste of time cause it’s not tested and U NEED TO go for that before they issue u an ‘L’ (more of that later). At the end of the 2 long days, I had headaches, curseeeeeee the stupid system.

- On Christmas eve, went to countdown for Christmas at Times Square/Sgwang areas armed with snow sprays. The only thing u do there is walk around, spray it on unknown strangers or get sprayed by them. And spray on innocent cars/motorcycles…hahah, nasty~

- Had a lovely Christmas BBQ another auntie’s house. Great food! Praising my auntie for marinating them so well. And for the first time, I see kids/teenagers (ranging from ages 8-16) barbequing for us adults (yes, I claim I’m adult, I didn’t even lift a finger at the barbeque fire, just maybe help a little in skewering the meat and applying oil/honey). I just sit there and eat..muahahha, like a queen.

- Learnt how to play Sudoku and got addicted for a while there. I still do some puzzles nowadays back in Brunei. I like that it’s very brain-stimulating.

- Watched a TVB series during whole stay there. A very good one, highly-recommended, it’s called ‘The Ultimate Crime Fighter’.

- The weather was BAD when I was in KL. It rained practically everyday. Maybe less than a handful of days where it was completely sunny and had NO rain at all. It sucks cause we didn’t get to go to Sunway Lagoon.

- Attended cousin’s small wedding dinner. For the first time, I have a cousin who’s getting married and so potentially, I’m gonna get to be an auntie very soon. Yay! Cousin as in ur mom/dad’s sibling’s children. Not anything further than that. Hahah because I only know a few of those long-distanced cousins, I think it’s one or two. I’m clueless about the extended family cause we’re not close to them.

- Looking back at my list of blabbing, I sort of realize why I didn’t shop that much. Wasted a lot of time doing non-shopping stuffs. Hahahaha. Nvm, it’s okay. Holidays are not all about shopping, right? Or is it? I guess in my case, not. Cause I gotta care about my relatives as well. My dad’s whole family is there in KL, man! Gotta attend to a lot of them at different times, not just go out and shop shop shop and act like all I can think of is shopping. Sometimes I feel so bad when they come over to see us and we’re off shopping somewhere. Moreover we get home pretty late too. The Guilt. On another note, it’s cute that I get lots of little cousins popping up every now and then in recent years. Very fun to play with them 3-4 year olds.

And when I wanna talk about what I did in Brunei after I got back, I become lazy. So next time la! :P

P/s: As you can see, I contradicted myself ---> "just summarize my trip in KL because if I describe too much, lots of paragraphs will definitely appear". damn it, even when I try to write in bullet points, it doesn't work. U DO SEE lots of paragraphs..hehe
