shoes partayyy

Oohoo.. Mb tis sounds a bit ridiculous, im bringing 4 pairs of brand new shoes to uk! Was on a shoe hunt and bedsheet hunt for 4 days to search for my ideal shoe..

Obviously, mummy was quite furious for it. She actually gave up going shopping with me after 2 days.. :) I dont think that im being very picky. Just that it's something that i will bring over, sthing that will accompany me, sthing that will provide me with comfort, and sthing that will remind me of home. I really want to choose something that i really like. I dislike buying sthing and being regret for it later..

I shall let the pictures tel u what i ve got..

#1: Sport shoes.. Im short of a pink one, and i ve finally got one.. :D

#2: Sandals.. For spring actually.. But it was really cheap and looked quite nice.. Nvm la =P

#3: Not sure what to do with this yet. Liked it as it looks somehow youthful and mature.. And am gradually in love with purple.. It was rather disappointing when you ve finally got sthing u like, but it was either out of size or not in the colour that u would usually buy.. Anyway, just little cravings on my 'little success'.. Shall continue working on looking for a nice slipper..

Goodbye!

separation

I never thought that it would be this difficult to pack my life into a suitcase and leave home.

I thought leaving would be easy. It wasnt. It still isn't. I thought it would be easier the 4th time. I was wrong again. It doesn't get easier.

Every nite, i could imagine and foresee my reactions while in the airport. The time when i check into the departure gate, the moment i went into the boarding gate, the way while i step into my plane.. The cut is so severe, so deep, so painful.

I keep telling myself to take it easy. The length of time im spending at home now is longer than the length of time that i will be spending in uk next week. I guess so many people (esp my sister) would be extremely frustrated with me: Im not appreciating with what i have now.

Day after day, i beg the time to turn and tick slower. But it doesnt listen to me. It never.

post departure emos

So it's my last 2 weeks here..

It's strange how I started out thinking that three months in Malaysia would be a long, long time. I remember my excitement as I prepared to come back. I had, in my mind, all these big grand plans to carry out: A huge catch-up on Malaysian food; meeting up with all my friends over and over again; activities that I missed out on in warwick - movie, karaoke, shopping, ice-skating; driving, swimming; spending time with my family; travelling; the list was endless!

But now, two weeks before heading back to the UK, I've belatedly realised that my big grand plans were just plans. Nice fluffly castles in the air that only serve to make me sigh and wish for a time-turner. I haven't eaten everything I wanted (honestly, the number of times I've eaten my tomyam, crab and roti canai is laughable); I haven't gone ice-skating; I've swam only a few times, I've only met up with most friends once (and up till now I haven't met some) and some days, my family doesn't get to see me because I leave for work early and come home late.

But of course, at least i ve done some other things:

1. Had a fabulous 21 year old celebration with all my friend and relatives. THere's when i saw some of my friends for only once. If werent for that, i guess i could not meet up with them until today.

Wrapped up with wishes, blessings, laughter, joy, gifts, reunion, jokes, warmth, sweetness.. N I guess some of u stil rmb how pinkie's daddy and pinkie gave their speeches.. :D

2. Internship has been such a good experience for me. I think my colleagues kind of spoiled me, we got along so well, and had lots of laughing time. We're expecting some more outings and meetings together again, aren't we?

3. Meet up with crystal who's leaving soon to the UK. Updates, pesters, sharing, playing around etc. Thx for spending time, my dear. Have a safe journey and all the best in ur studies =)

Two weeks to make up for everything. I'll do my best to turn those castles in the air into my summer holidays. Once these two weeks are up, it's back to the uk, back to studying and the land of sunless cold weather. The weather forecast over there has been recording the teen-temperatures again. I could foresee myself wrapped in layers and shivering in cold again..

But there's still this niggling feeling that I haven't done everything I wanted to do, and in a way, I'm not ready to go back.

raymond lam asked me out!!

Sorry, i know the title looks so so sooo interesting but actually it's just a dream. Thinking that it is funny, Im sharing it =P

Okay, it started like tis. Well, dreams are always unexplainable. It started with us staying in a hotel. Coincidentally it was Raymond lam’s fans meeting that day. Immediately the 3 of us hurried and dashed down to meet him, but we were in our pyjamas!! Obviously we have not taken our bath since we woke up that morning (this is part and parcel of our lifestyle)..

Therefore we reached the lobby of the hotel but having realised we were in our pyjamas, we were so ashamed and were seriously hesitating whether to approach him for his signature or otherwise. At this time, Raymond lam saw this 3 clumsy girls and asked if we would like to hv his autograph and even a photograph with him! (Omgg… I know this sounds foolish..)

There 3 of us were so embarrassed and pointed our pyjamas to him with our fingers. He smiled so cool-ly to us and asked us to go up to change and come down again. (Hahaha.. Im going crazy..) We were still hesitant, and he seemed to understand our worries. He told us not to worry and he will wait for us!! Wakakaaaa… Raymond!!! :D

The next second we were in our rooms. We changed our clothes, set our hair, put on make up, and everything went well except that we did not notice that we took ample time to dress up. We thronged to the lobby again, and Raymond lam was no longer there!! 3 of us were full of regret: We shud just change a decent outfit, see, we missed the chance!! Disappointed.. Disappointment..

Late at nite, we were playing games in our rooms, and we heard the doorbell ringing. We opened the door, and we saw Raymond lam standing just in front of us!! We were totally shocked!! He asked 3 of us out for a dinner and brought us to sing k.. So we popped onto his van (it was like a coach actually) with his assistant along.. His assistant was a very ugly, short man. But, nvm. (Grinning..) He was really kind and friendly to us. Whilst my 2 sisters were duet-ing in the karaoke room, Raymond lam opened his mouth and wanted to chat with me. Hehehe… All of the sudden, “traaaeekkk traaaeeekk”, i was awakened by construction work behind my hs! There goes my ‘conversation’ with prince Raymond!! I was so frustrated and disappointed. Constructions shud be banned from working early in the morning.. Who knows he might ask me if I would like to be his gf??? Hahahahaha..

Hmm.. It was such a lovely dream! I have such a strong instinct that Raymond really enjoys spending time with the 3 of us!! So lucky =) WOoooohooo.. I guess many ppl r shaking their heads now..
So my beautiful dream just ended like tat. Haizz. Just to note that im not in love with Raymond lam, but I guess I am now. Hehe.. He’s having his concert during the end of the year, I wish to go!! Anyone to join me?? :)

the story of pan mee

While we send jane's coursemate to the subang jaya train station this afternoon, we drove by to face to face for lunch. It is just located in SS15 at the same row of McD and the banks.
There were a large variety of pan mees and sarawak noodles to be chosen from. We ordered 4 bowls to share and all of them were good!

The minced pork pan mee..

House speciality hot & spicy pan mee (soup). We tried the dry one as well..
Braised pork pan mee (soup)..
All of them tasted equally delicious. I like the dried chilly most, added into the soup. Yet, i would still vote Kin Kin if you are only comparing the dried spicy pan mee. My former colleagues brought me there and it was terribly awesome. It's a family-run business and they only sell one flavour of the dish, which is pan mee, either soup of dry. Although they prepare the dishes in bulk, but due to the large flow of customers, a 15-30 mins wait in inevitable. Although its appearance does not look attractive, you will agree that it's worth to wait after a bite of it. With the special dried chilly, it was absolutely delicious..Speaking of pan mee again, if ur preference is pan mee of different flavours, i mean the noodles itself, S&S in Bayu Tinggi is definitely a good place to go for. And it's just in Klang!
Also naturally a family owned business, this restaurant creates a poutpourri of flavours for the noodle itself. They have pumpkin, seaweed, spinach, dragon fruit and the normal original pan mee.

I find the dragon fruit pan mee most interesting.. See, the noodles is pink in colour, but not by using any artificials, it's trully the colour of the dragon fruit.. I wonder how did they combine and do it..

I ordered the seaweed pan mee, which looks good, and tasted good of course :)
The restaurant is newly refurbished and the prices are reasonably fair.. Besides that, it's safe to say that everyone was satisfied as they sell other stuffs such as curry laksa, kon lo mee, spicy mee and mee hun kueh, in which each of it has their own fans xD

The curry laksa..Well, i guess tat's all for pan mee today. Im not used to eating pan mee at first, but now, i start to love this dish :D

peri-language

Was testing joy her peribahasas today. I realised nowadays students study so much more compared to us in the past!! Impressive!! Well, that’s not the key point. There’s something that joy brought up which lit up a question in my mind as well. Why must they sort of ‘blame’ or ‘accuse’ the animals in their peribahasas? U ll probably understand better when I present a few examples:

a. seperti katak di bawah tempurung – The frog is borned to be under the well, why must this imply that the frog is stupid? What an innocent frog.. =P

b. bagai murai tercabut ekor – The murai is simply a normal bird. Why must people make it the most talkative bird (mulut murai)?? Pity murai with the sad title..

c. bagai rusa masuk ke kampung – This is funny. I guess the deer does not react anything when it enters any villages, or even any farms. Why must people ‘imagine’ that it will act like a clumsy stranger?

d. bagai tikus membaiki labu – Haha, the mouse is not supposed to know how to repair a pumpkin! Hence, what’s the underlying meaning? Without reason the mouse is accused to worsen a situation..

e. bagai anjing dengan kucing – Are you sure that dogs and cats really fight when they see each other :)

U see?? :D

a mini report

If u chat with me often recently, you will be wondering how am I surviving these few months. I ve not been going out very much, not even for shopping much, n not online as frequent too. People hv been started asking if I am bored at home. Don’t worry, I am not. Of course, one of the reason is due to the h1n1 which is not trivial and deteriorating day by day. Another of it is that I do really enjoy at home.

I watch my favourite tv at home. I really love tv – my best companion. Hours by hours.. Hehe.. That’s wat a tv holic does!! I help with house chores: folding clothes, washing dishes, mopping the floor, fetching sisters. I play with my youngest sister. I talk a lot to my parents. I go for yoga and dance lessons. I read. Occasionally if the school needs me, I wil transform into a replacement teacher (ad hoc basis).. I am actually quite busy and tired everyday =P
Life is utilised with happiness and warmth, although im not getting around. Of course I would enjoy to hang out with friends occasionally, watching movies, shopping, sing karaoke esp. Or perhaps I have not reached consensus with my lepak friends :D

Don’t worry. Just to reiterate that I am fine. I am enjoying time over here.
