Goodbye 2009

In less than 8 hours, I'll be happily boarding a bus back to Taiping. I just hope there wouldn't be much of a traffic jam. It's already a hassle trying to get back home during the school holidays, and now with Christmas just two days away; chances are that I might be caught up in an exodus. Anyways, the thought of me spending my time in Taiping overwrites all my worries about the jam. Wee... :D

It's really ironic how my perception on holidays changes so quickly within the past two semester. Previously, going down to KL=holiday! And I'll be extremely excited about going to the malls, having a taste of different food, and the whole feeling about being able to spend my holidays in a city like KL. Now, since I've been living here for the past two semester; going up to Taiping=holiday! This time I'm all pump up to go to the lake gardens, having yam cha at siang malam, eating cheap and delicious food, and the urge to just get away from my hectic life!! Yeah...no matter where we are, the grass seems to always be greener on the other side. Come to think of it, I do take Taiping for granted.

I still remember how I always wanted to get out from Taiping and just grow up!! You can try asking my dad. I kept telling my dad how I would just like to grow up quickly and see the world!! You know, just to be OUT THERE...by myself. Being independent. Being all grown up. Well, this is the time when I have to go back and tell my dad that I wish I could do high school all over again. I'm expecting a "I told you so!!" from him. I know I'm going to get it.

Honestly, I dread the New Year; every single year. However, this coming new year I have more to worry/dread. Besides the thought of having to crack my head on what I would pen down as my new year resolutions; this inkling thought of turning 20 is like a nightmare to me. It's haunting the soul out of me. I wonder if Jane and Shuh Pyng feels the same as February is approaching. To be frank, I'm feeling rather sad/down about next year. :(

I guess I should just enjoy my holiday to the fullest, and just let it be. There's no way I can stop myself from turning 20. I'll consider myself lucky as I have two other February babies to share my 'sorrow' with. Haha. I'll get back home, hang out with my friends, go paint the town red, relax and rejuvenate, catch some movies, drown myself with Taiping food, and whatnot!! So peeps, call me anytime or drop by my house anytime!! We have loads to do!! :D

So........

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

p/s: I've been having Christmas songs stuck in my head this whole month. Even when I was having my papers... They're just so joyful to my ears. :D

My Two Front Teeth

I got this link and started to listen to it. And while I was listening to it, I laughed my head off as the song started reminding me of my childhood. I forgot who was it, maybe it was my bro or some cheeky relative of mine; but SOMEONE did teased me by singing this song to me when I lost my two front teeth. I was around six or seven at that time.

After that, I grew up to not only have my two front teeth; but two front rabbit teeth. HAHA. Do listen to this song. It's really cute and it'll cheer you up! :D

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

Weekend Treats

So my parents came down to KL last weekend for a visit and it was GREAT. Mom brought home-cooked food all the way for the whole house. Having home-cooked food for dinner was really satisfying. Oh how I miss home....:(

During the weekends, bro took us around for shopping and for food trip. :D Went to Pavilion for the very first time and I was in awe by just looking at the building from the outside. Walking into Pavilion gave me a sense of elegance that comes with a huge price of course. Mind you, the parking ticket was freaking RM9!! 3 bucks per hour is just insane! And the boutiques in Pavilion are meant for window shopping, LITERALLY; at least for me. What made me smile though, was the spectacular Christmas decorations; accompanied by Christmas music at the background made the whole atmosphere even more joyful. After all, it's the season again!!

How can someone not love Christmas? Every year on the month of December, I'll go all goo-goo-ga-ga over Christmas because of the sales and also the whole vibe and mood. Believe it or not, I've started listening to Christmas songs since early November!! It's a really a good feeling. :)


Lunch time, bro took us to this awesome place called La Bodega@Pavilion. And boy oh boy...the food there are heavenly, however sinful it is to my body. This place serves really good Spanish food and provides a really nice and soothing ambiance for dining. There is a bar with shelves filled with liquor bottles and a place where they hung up old historical Spanish photos. People should at least come to La Bodega once for the experience, especially to those who love food. And if you have the money to throw around, get a pint of Hoegaarden or Stella. A couple of shots as well if you want to experience a hungover the next day.

List of Spanish brandy




Paella Valenciana mixta (Spanish rice cooked with seafood)

La Bodega's famous cheese burger**

Saffran angel hair pasta**


Albondigas "Sant Climent" (Lamb meatballs in a rich brandy sauce)

**food that got pounced on before I could captured it in time. Haha.

The following day we went to 1U. Personally I find 1U one of D-best places to shop. EVERYTHING is just there, all under one roof. I've walked every corner and corridors and sadly, I didn't manage to get any clothes from 1U. There weren't anything suitable to buy!! Maybe I'm picky. :( And again, we stopped by this stall called Nyonya Colors where it's famous for it's Nyonya Kuih. The laksa at this stall was quite nice as well.



For dinner, we went to this corner shop, Restaurant Lucky Loke Yeah I know...what a typical name for chinese shops. Here, their specialty is the deep fried tilapia and the oh-so-awesome frog soup. For those who enjoy soups with heavy taste of pepper corn should really go for the frog soup. It has the OHM factor!!

Frog soup!!

So, technically my whole weekend with the family is more like a food trip. Which of course I'm not complaining besides the fact that I didn't manage to buy anything to fill my closet. But it was great. My belly was happily full throughout the weekend. :) Even my bro felt guilty conscious about his additional weight to his 'one pack'. Tehee :P Still, food is always a bliss!!

********

I'll be going back to Taiping tomorrow. So far my plans are to catch the movie New Moon and to crash into Ng's place for a baking session which we haven't done for quite sometime. Additional plans will be considered thoroughly as I'm suppose to be on my study break. A SHORT session of yam cha should be fine. :)

Lunch With Vogue

Went down for lunch with roomies.

*grabs a menu*

ordered the cheapest foodie on the menu ~ which is my usual.

*spotted an interesting mag on the shelves*

Oooo...Vogue!

*grabs mag*

Which issue is this??

La...February 2008...it's so last year.

Oh well...

*Flip flip flip*

Knight time??

Hmmm...

Okay. So this article entitled 'Knight Time' was obviously written by a guy whose name I forgot; it was Nick something. The article is about the 'Art Of Manliness'; which is chivalry. Chivalry is a system of behaviour which was first practised by knights during the medieval time. So Nick over here wrote this article based on his own experienced; about how to be a modern knight in today's world. Below is pretty much the summary of the article:-

Generally the first thing for a man to do is to be gracious and to respect a woman. Simple things like opening the door for a lady and letting them enter first, giving your umbrella/coat to a lady when it's raining if not offering her a ride back, helping a lady with the heavy package/luggage and the list goes on. Opening a door for a lady doesn't mean she's feeble. A solicitously hand proffered doesn't mean she's incapable. Those are several things that a man could do in order to be chivalrous to ANY kind of lady which doesn't bring any meaning of sexual interest what so ever because chivalry is also about knowing what's suitable.

However on the other hand, to really treat your SPECIAL lady; the guy will have to go a distance a little bit more.For example, holding her hands when crossing the streets, call her when you promised to do so, be generous with your compliments, buy her flowers on normal random days, or text her just to make her day. And since now it's the modern world, woman may want to split the cost of meals, showing that she is able to care for herself and that she's not looking for anything from you. She may want you to be equals and wants to make decisions together. As Nick has learnt it the hard way, woman of today would like her man to make decisions
with her and not for her.

According to Nick, the reason why in today's modern world there are fewer and fewer 'knights' out there is mainly because woman of today now demands for equality. However this doesn't mean that chivalry has to come to a total stop. Nick happily said that his act of being chivalrous to any lady has so far been accepted by the lady in a gracious manner. The only time he had it was when he wasn't chivalrous or sensitive enough! And to Nick; good manners reflect a person inner value, chivalry is no exception.

*end of article*

"What is this article doing in Vogue?? This article shouldn't be in Vogue! It should be on the pages of other magazines like FHM(For Him Magazine)."

*Sigh*

What a waste right?? This pages could have been filled with Burberry or Dolce & Gabbana.

YanMing ranting

Counting down. From months right to the last second.

I dread it.

I wish time would stop.

Every night, wishing tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow would never come.

******

Bro called.

Asked me some stuff.

Told him some stuff.

Advised me on some stuff.

Cried.

I don't know how bro did it.

I'm not your sister.

I'm a failure.

******

Above are some ranting. I have this 'vision', this 'image' deep in my mind. And it's all written somewhere in a list. The list are not in order. I'll probably re-write the list this time in a specific order. And probably paste it in front of my table. My parents would probably say I'm being a paranoid and a worrier. Bro would probably say a little of it is good but too much dosage would kill me or worst; go into depression. I got to admit I always think/worry way too much. So much so that it annoys others and myself. But I've always been this way,according to my mom. I guess I didn't grow out of it.

Do others have a list like mine??(rhetorical question)

******

Flies are just annoying aren't they?? Ah See needed some insecticide to kill it. Xin Wen just walked off. Flies are just everywhere. LOL.

If I need to write an essay about my summer holidays, this would be the outline

3 Oct 2009
How 9 girls and a guy celebrated Lantern Festival.

It started to rain.So we girls,and Gan of course,all ended up in Jenn's place.But not for long.After the rain stopped,it was Lake Gardens!We looked high and low for the perfect spot to settle down and finally got a whole 'pondok' for ourselves.We lit candles all around the 'pondok', hung lanterns around to brighten up the place, and sung out loud in the middle of Lake Gardens.Then someone suggested to record a video of us singing to Jenn's guitar.For more info,the video is up on Facebook for all to view.




Siang malam was closed thanks to the rain,so we crashed into Tee Xin's place and watched a movie in her theatre room.By the time the movie ended,it was almost 2am.Then it's back to our own home from there.




5 Oct 2009
Wrote it.

Hate it.

Tore it.

Threw it.


6 Oct 2009
Yes.

A good-nobody it is.

Period.

10 Oct 2009
Woke up early for badminton.Drove to Jenn's house to pick her up.By the time we got to Lee Ong Hoo,Tee Xin and her brother is already there.Badminton was really fun with Tee Xin's and Serena's friends.

3 hours after the game,Jenn and Tee Xin came over to my place all because Jenn left her purse and handphone in my dashboard.Talked a whole lot in my room.And the two also got a taste of the salad that I made for lunch.Then in the evening we got into Tee Xin's car,fetched Serena,and went to Pokok Assam for tea.I was craving for laksa the pass few days,so when I finally ate Pokok Assam laksa; I was so satisfied. :D

After filling our stomach,and after all the commotion about Jenn texting someone to get someone's number; we all came to realise that Jenn would do anything just to get someone's contact number.Also,don't ever leave your handphone lying around where Jenn could find.This is a reminder for everyone,especially Tee Xin.Come to think of it, I missed a chance of exploiting Jenn's handphone.Should have dig up some dirt from her handphone before returning it to her.:P

Next,it was waterfall at Taman Suria.Again,it was chit chatting in the middle of the river.Too bad this time there wasn't any signs of monkeys mating.Unlike previously at Burmese Pool.(I could sense SuiYing is laughing, and Ng is still fed up not being able to point out those monkeys to SuiYing).LOL.

12 Oct 2009
Suddenly felt like baking.

Hmmm.

If Shea Yuin is around, I can crash into her house and we can bake!

Cupcakes again Ng?

Maybe.

Cookies would be nice.

Or maybe chocolate cake with chocolate fudge all over it!

Oh Ng!Next time we shall bake again at your place!

P/S: Ng, don't call for me using Shakespeare-style. I know your in desperate need for a hug if u do that.

13 Oct 2009
It's the time of the year again!Bonanza!Only twice a year if I'm not mistaken.So it's eat until your stomach is all bloated. :D

Note the colour of the plate.

16 Oct 2009
It was badminton again today.This time it was for two and a half hours straight!And oh my god.The muscles on both my calves ached so badly.Not to mention,the muscles were already in a strenuous state because I went hiking with my dad the day before.But still,it's satisfying to play badminton for such a long period.

17 Oct 2009
Sigh.

Goodbye Taiping.

Hols^^

Wee...in 4 hours time I'll be on the bus back to Taiping for 2 weeks! I know. 2 weeks doesn't seem much. Because it isn't. I know that as soon as I set foot on Taiping soil, time is going to fly. And the next thing I know, I'll be back here in KL :( Time always does that to people who are having fun. Sadist!!

However, since my last paper; I've had my share of fun in KL as well. Went for lunch at Teppanyaki, sang a whole lot at Green Box, watched 'Orphan' with my roomies(ended up hugging my friend and my pillow) and dine at Gasoline on top of Look Out Point(a place where you can view the whole of KL city at night). It was great. :) I wanted to upload some photos here but I'm too lazy. To add more to the laziness, photos of the activities above are already uploaded onto FB by my friends. So yeah. Call me a lazy-bump.

And now,*excited grin* I'm going back to Taiping and have fun! I know there are going to be some happenings. I can just feel it. But *sigh* those Form 6 got to buck up on their studies now. :( So probably there will be less happening stuff going on. Anyways, going back to Taiping is already part of the FUN. Wee...

Alritey, so my blog will be on hiatus for two weeks. And then I'll update the happenings in Taiping.(specially for Jane, wish you are in Malaysia). I'll miss all my friends who won't be in Taiping. Suiying, wish you were here. A whole lot of thanks for the other day where you got all worried about me. Really appreciate it. ^^ Enjoy shopping at Low Yat. It's Technology Heaven inside there. ;) Just remember to bargain.

Happy Holidays

Happy Mooncake Festival
Happy Deepavali

P/S: Don't you think it's better to be a good-nobody than an evil-somebody?

I Foresee an Exodus

Tomorrow after my paper, I'll be contributing to an exodus. I'll be joining thousands of people on the road back for the Hari Raya. Looking out from my balcony now, I could see a jam on the MRR2 highway. I couldn't help but to think that tomorrow I'll be experiencing the same thing. I foresee a terrible traffic congestion and a really long journey back to Taiping. But at the same time I'm really eager to be going back.

Selamat Hari Raya everyone. Have a safe journey back home.

G.R.E.A.T

Wow...the last time I updated my blog was exactly one month ago. Been busy with test,test,test,assignments,reports and TEST. I was just complaining to my dear friend, suiying, that I'm going to run out of creative juice. Seriously. All I write about now in uni is very technical. Even for my English article review had to be about engineering related subjects. BORING. Hand me over a narrative essay and I'll go blank. This is how I know the level of my creative juice has fallen below the RED line.

To make matters 'better', today I stumbled upon Kenny Sia's blog. He is one of Malaysia's famous/renown blogger. And I read the following on his blog:

" I'm a graduate of Curtin University, where I hold a Bachelors degree in Physics and an Honours degree in Electronic & Communication Engineering. None of my two degrees have any relevance whatsoever to my field of work right now. I haven't yet found the need to use complex Calculus to solve a really bad business decision.

The moral of the story is: get a commerce degree instead. You'll live longer."

by Kenny Sia on http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2006/08/about-me-1.php

Okay. So I'm studying Electronic & Communication Engineering. Note the moral of the story : "get a commerce degree instead. You'll live longer." GREAT. I'm not only running out of creativity when it comes to writing. I'm also going to have a shorter life span!! Geez. Tell me if there's anything worst...I think I'll be able to handle it.

On another note, I'm really looking forward to go back to Taiping this weekend. I just want to get out of KL and have some fresh-photosynthesized air from the Lake Gardens. Not to mention, I'm also craving for home-cooked food! I'm so sick of outside food, instant noodles and bread. And my hair is falling off like the leaves of autumn thanks to stress and the instant noodles. It's thinning. :(

Lastly, I'm going to put my UEEA 1313 Basic Electronics notes/books under my pillow this few nights. Hoping it would miraculously be absorbed by my brain so that I can regurgitate it out when in need.

Apparently Yan...

Yan have been sharing her room with two roomies, namely Jessica and Liwen, for 2 months. And the below are some 'complaints' she received about her sleeping position and her sleeping habits:-

a) Apparently Yan mumbles when she's asleep.
b) Apparently Yan laughs when she's asleep.
c) Apparently Yan 'smacks' the person beside her when she's asleep. (sorry Liwen)
d) Apparently Yan grabs her roomies' bolster, named xiao lan=small blue. (sorry Liwen AGAIN)
e) Apparently Yan crosses her leg when she's asleep. (like an old ah pek sitting in some kopitiam)

Okay...so apparently these are the things that Yan did when she's experiencing REM/NREM. She's totally unaware. She's in a state of unconsciousness. She's in sleep debt. She's been having too much caffeine the day before. She may be too stress during the day and unfortunately, it shows even when she's asleep.

Blame her not.

Faith & Perseverance

Looking back.
You wonder.
You ponder.
You had hope.
You had faith.
But it didn't happen.
You gave up hope.
And now you are left with faith.
Is faith on your side?
You just wish you had a little luck.

It happened and hit you right on your face.
You got smacked back to reality.
You wished it didn't happen to you.
But you knew it happened for a reason.
Maybe there is a silver lining.
Maybe it's a blessing or even an angel in disguise.
You knew you got no choice.
You just have to do it.
Knowing you got to go on;
For it will be waiting for you at the end.

delicious by Ms. Read@1-Utama

Big bro: Wanna go grab a bite at delicious before we leave?
Lil sis: Sure!!(didn't know where's delicious but the name of the place was so tempting...I couldn't resist!!and it's a bit impolite to say no to my bro :P)

So we went in and found a nice spot to grab a bite. Ching then ordered the Classic Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream(RM11.90). I was thinking, gosh...this dessert better be really good cause I was sitting there dumbfounded looking at Ching.

Yan: Erm...*looks around and whispered* RM11.90?? for a slice??
Ching: Yeah. No worries . You'll be really pleased and contented.
Yan: ....okay......

Now...lo and behold, The Classic Chocalate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream.



Rich moist cake, covered with warm chocolate fudge and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The chocolate fudge was warm while the ice cream was cold. It's a great combination of both. I've got to say, this sinfully rich chocolate cake is excellent stuff. So heavenly. Indulgence.

Head on to delicious and try the food there. It's located at the ground floor of 1-Utama new wing. The food there is suppose to be really good, especially their desserts. Although the place maybe a little pricy, Ms. Read definitely have a way of making her customers forget all about the price by the time you reach your last spoonful. Have a look at their website: http://www.delicious.com.my/menu.htm

p/s: Sad thing is, I forgot to take photos of the food I had at T.G.I Friday's. :( The food there were really good as well.

Twinkle~glimpse of hope

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish
I wish tonight.

You've Got A Friend

A guy with his guitar playing a song for you, is always nice; and most definitely flattering. I'm sure this is how he ended up with a ring on his finger.

Love this song. Love the way he plays the guitar. Love his voice. I don't know his name though, but he does it so effortlessly. However, the lyrics is a bit different from the original version.

Try listening to it when you are experiencing solitude. Listening to this song makes me wonder/think/ponder...a couple of names came into my mind. Just remember you've got a friend. 'winter, spring, summer or fall; all you got to do is call...and i'll be there, yes i will...'

Hugs anyone? *hugs*

You've Got A Friend
(by: Carole King
as performed by: James Taylor)

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Back For The Weekend

Okay, so I finally went back to Taiping and met Jane who just got back from US. And she gave me a HUGE hug. She would still be 'hanging water' right now if I didn't meet up with her when I'm in Taiping. So together with a bunch of friends, I went to Starbucks. I had a cup of Java Chip Frappuccino (Blended Coffee); recommended by Jane since she's a very experience staff for Starbucks. I've also learned what's the difference between latte, frappucino and espresso...it's interesting.

So, what happens when there is a bunch of girls high on caffeine? Well, we just talked a whole lot of stories and whatnot which contain lots of nonsensical-dramatic-hyperbolic elements that made us all laughed. And mind you, when Jane starts laughing...faces of the unknown started to turn towards our table; which was smacked right in the middle of Starbucks. Even my handbag got stained when some Frappucino of mine spurt out from my mouth from the result of laughing too much.

I asked Jane if she have american dollars with her, as I would like to have a look how exactly an american dollar look like. And when asked if I could keep that one dollar, Jane was kind enough to give it to me. Thanks again Jane. Then before midnight, we went round Taiping in Jenn's car and half way we decided to head for Khai Li's house. After hanging out at Khai Li's place, Jenn sent all of us back home before 2am.

So yeah, eventhough I was in Taiping for only 32 hours, I had great fun meeting up with Jane. It's been a year since she left for the States, so it was really great to see her after so long. And I'm so glad that Jane is still the Jane that I knew. I had loads of fun, and wished I didn't have to come back to KL so soon; and I kind of harbour too much to my friends of not wanting to go back to KL. I wanted to play badminton and go drunk with u guys! Hey peeps, make sure I'm around the next time u guys want to go drunk okay? Count me in!

p/s: Jane, I didn't get a chance to have a photo with you...and yeah Jane, the tree at the lake garden became a round about. But well, at least they didn't chop the tree off and planted a traffic light there.

The Clumsy & Ungainly Me

Got down from the cab.
Walked,walked,walked...
*stairs*
Climbed the stairs...
Tripped and almost fell.

The Crowne Plaza.
Damn the escalators are not working.
Walked,walked,walked...stepped onto the dysfunctional escalator and started treating it like a flight of stairs.
*escalator starts functioning* These escalators have integrated sensors.
Almost fell.

Times Square.
Stepped onto a fully-functioned escalator.
*escalator moving down*
*escalator suddenly stopped functioning*
Almost fell.

KLCC.
Walked,walked,walked...
*stairs*
Climbed the stairs...
Tripped and almost fell.

*****

Great. How clumsy and ungainly of me. Mind you, all these happened on the same day; within 8 hours.

Sungei Wang Plaza

Barely two weeks in KL and here I am, feeling ill; a bit feverish and a sore throat. Not to mention, my feet are seriously sore right now. Today I had been walking around Bukit Bintang together with 7 other friends. We took LRT and then monorail just to get to Bukit Bintang.

Once we reached Sg.Wang Plaza, we immediately headed for Kim Gary Restaurant as we were all starving. We had to wait to be seated as the place is extremely packed. Fortunately, we did not have to wait very long. Here are some photos taken at Kim Gary.

The menu

Appetizer

Borsch Soup


Cheese Baked Rice With Steak


Aftermath

This is my first time at Sg.Wang, and it was packed with people! To be more precise, it was packed with 'lala' and 'ah beng' people with extremely weird hairstyles. The clothes they were wearing are really eccentric. Ocasionally, I looked at Pui Han and Pui Han looked at me; every time we passed by someone with super duper weird hairdos. These people can be ubiquitously found at Sg.Wang; reason is because 90% of the shops here are meant for 'lalas' and 'ah bengs' and I was feeling rather uncomfortable. After walking around, I have come to a conclusion that if I were to attend a Halloween Party in the future; Sg.Wang would be the place for me to shop for extremely scary costumes. I mean seriously, there are plenty of shops at Sg.Wang that sell horrendous clothing and they are all scary enough for Halloween. I would highly recommend Sg.Wang for anyone who wishes to find a Halloween costume.

After that, 5 of us crossed over to Low Yat as Daniel wanted to get a new printer. Again, it was packed like sardines in a can OVERFLOWING! I don't know about you guys, but I seriously couldn't stand shopping in places that are extremely crowded. I feel very uncomfortable. I do not like to be squeezed when I'm walking. If the place is pack with people, be sure there is enough space for people to walk so that it doesn't look so saturated; then I'm totally okay with it.

Feeling kind of sad right now. Disappointed to be exact. My parents were supposed to be here in KL but they could not make it because the car broke down half way at Ipoh.

Minesweeper

There’s this game application called Minesweeper which can be ubiquitously found in most Windows OS. But I’m sad to say that I don’t really know exactly how to play that game. I know that the numbers in the squares tell us how many mines are surrounding that area but I haven’t got the slightest clue that there’s actually a technique in figuring out where the mines are actually placed (I know…laugh all you want).

Until…last week when I was in Taiping, I went to Ng’s place to conveniently used her internet as my line back home sucks (thanks a lot Ng =D). That was the day where Ng enlightened me by teaching me how to go about playing Minesweeper. And now I’m kind of addicted to Minesweeper. Whenever I’m bored, I seek for mines! But until today, I still couldn’t get pass the intermediate level. Give me some time Ng.
