The 4400

Finally, I FOUND IT~!!!
After days of searching it from the internet, I've finally found those soundtracks used for short TV series 'The 4400' - season1. Those of you who had Astro might have heard about this new TV series before.

The 4400
I remember seeing the 1st episode whereby all those so-called alien kidnappings occurred. Then years later, there's a huge asteroid heading straight to earth. This has caused some certain panic as the asteroid did not hit earth, but it actually slowed down, and floated itself on a lake. (This is so extraordianary.) Mysteriously, bright white lights suddenly emerged within the asteroid. It was so bright that nobody could stand it and all of them have to close their eyes. Then, a big group of 4400 humans appeared out of the blue. (Now, this is the mystery & confusion.). There's another part which i love where alot of countries are firing missiles into the air, aiming at the big asteroid, because they are afraid that an asteroid this big would shatter the earth into pieces. Try to imagine a round bright moon, with fireworks below the moon as if they were heading right up. This is exactly how the whole thingy look liked. Just use a simple imagination. Nice isn't it? Except that the moon represents the asteroid while the fireworks represent the missiles fired by other countries. Obviously, it didn't work and the asteroid still came & floated on the lake.
Big-bird-brainers can watch the video on this link. =P

...when missiles are aimed at the asteroid...

...the asteroid glowed with white light and floated on the lake...

...4400 humans appeared out of nowhere just as the asteroid exploded/vanished...

... another pics of the 4400...

I'm not going to tell the whole story. I don't want to be a movie-spoiler. =p
But then again i only watched 3 out of 6 episodes, as by that time, i have to go back to campus for a new trimester. *sob sob* ...tissue please...

Another great thing of the series is the soundtrack of this part sung by Ivy called 'Worry About You'. It so beautifully fits the whole part of the 1st episode. And another song called 'A Place in Time' sung by Amanda Abizaid is also not bad. Both of the lyrics are available at this link.

*More pics will be added tml after editing =) ^.^edited^.^

There are still alot more to write but at this moment, i'll juz finished off here.. i'm too blur to continue. Sleep needed. G'nitez.

Concoction 2

My Law textbook on my right,
oh, Heaven, please give me some light;
Dictionary, on my left,
looking very daff;
Coffee, on my top left corner,
highlighters, on my top right corner;
is the place they are always there,
day by day after;
left hand, holding a chocolate chip bread,
directing the motion to my mouth;
right hand, resting on the mouse,
and my eyes on the monitor screen,
screaming 'ouch!'

Been in this position for like 1 hour already.
Now, who says i'm studious??!!

**Jut jui kong wa si tak chek kia?? Pien lang eh... Ai tiok pak arr??!!**

This is just an urged to post something in hokkien, an inspiration from HokkienLang. I really salute this fella for holding up a blog posted in full hokkien dialect.
**HokkienLang, salute salute.**
It's something i've never thought of, maybe because of the difficulties in typing hokkien according to the pronounciation. Additionally, although there alot hokkien-ers in Malaysia, all of our hokkien slangs differ. For instance, there's the Baba Hokkien/northern Hokkien (which covers Perlis, Kedah, & Penang); southern hokkien (covers Malacca, Johor, & Singapore), Kelantan hokkien, & Borneo hokkien (Sabah & S'wak). And so, reading HokkienLang's blog, might need a little higher level of your hokkien efficiency =p
Anyway, i was and still am, reading some funny blogs fowarded by my fellow unimates.
Shesh.. law, oh law.
Never mind about that, I'll worry later, teeheehee~!
(remember the dim-witted philosophy, "play first, suffer later"?)

Back to my studies. Err.. blogs, first??

~*~enjoy the sweetness of growing up~*~

April Fool's

10 minutes before 12midnight and i still can't resist to play a joke on someone. I spent the whole day studying in the library and i nearly lost my mood to trick and to be tricked. Portionedly blamed, are myself. I'm running out of time to study my Research subject and luckily JeenWei dropped by at the library during my "night-shift" to tell me some itsy-bitsy stuff on the topic. He gave me a few so-called introductions on the chapters, like what should i know in this chapter and that. Thanx ya fren, i appreciate it!!! Honestly, he's scaring me... cuz i haven't touch on the book at all. Sigh... yes, JeenWei, i agree with you, I've been wasting my time these few weeks back and I blame myself. Thanx again for the remindation just now =)

5 minutes before midnight. I went into RuShan's room. I was... 'bo kam guan' (that's hokkien, how to translate that phrase in english?), err.. unsatisfied?? Let's say 'unsatisfied'. (People, please correct me, ok?) I was "unsatisfied" with myself for not completing a simple task of D-day, which is FooLinG someone on April Fool's Day. So, i look around in her room, scurring my brain, trying to find something to scare her while having a nice little chat with her and Christina. Additionally, hehehe... she's already in a blur-mode which will in time, turn into sleep-mode. She chased us out of her room, and i took the chance. Told her before she sleeps, she better wipe off that lizard's shit on her bed, yucks~! She looked around every inches and corner of her bed, then asked me where... ?
"AprrrrrriiL FooooL larr, daaaarrLiing. Good Nitezzz..."

Yeah, it was lame. A lame april fool's joke. But what do i care?! At least i get to play around people and still get myself on safe hands for not falling into any joker-tricks before the opportunity ends. =D
Anyway, people... HappY April FooL's Day~!!!

Another Earthquake... Another Tremour

~*~Headache, man... shesh, why everything so blur.. better sit down first~*~

Junkies (Twisties), checked; Plain water, checked; Pillows, checked; Blanket, checked; XiaoPan, checked; Seoul Raiders in cd-rom, checked.

I moved my monitor facing my bed, set myself comfortably among my pillows and blankets to reduce my headache, having my plain water bottle beside me just in case, opened my packet of Twisties, then clicked [play] then [full screen].
After only 2 minutes of the movie, somebody sent me a message through YM. I was like, shit, i forgot to disconnect my Yahoo Messanger. Nak kacau aku tengok movie kot... Never mind, i ignored it. The 3rd minute came, and this fella keep buzzing my YM non-stop. I got irritated, paused my movie, and un-full-screenized my movie. The buzzer was my cousin.

sephirothtan : call back penang
sephirothtan : earth quake
icymint_gal : huh?? real anot??
icymint_gal : when happened? teruk anot?
sephirothtan : really wan... my mom called me
sephirothtan : not serious la
sephirothtan : but u call back & see loo
icymint_gal : okok
icymint_gal : i'm calling now
*dial dial dial*
icymint_gal : both my parent's phone not working!!!
sephirothtan : ur sis ler?
icymint_gal : calling now
*dial dial dial*
icymint_gal : nbd pick up the phone
sephirothtan : not serious la
sephirothtan : maybe my mama chating with your mama
sephirothtan : i saw forum said the taman u last time stay also got
sephirothtan : don worry la, all said just shake a while saja. those stay beside sea side only need to worry
sephirothtan : ur family slept liao ho?
icymint_gal : finally, i reached my dad's hp adee
icymint_gal : my parents are ok
icymint_gal : yeah... they're sleeping like a log. hahaha...
icymint_gal : how's ur parents? ok boh??
sephirothtan : then, din felt the earth quake a?
sephirothtan : my house there ok
icymint_gal : no wor.. they slept like pig. din feel anything at all.
sephirothtan : aunty lay (my youngest aunt staying in the island) there scary abit
sephirothtan : but they ok also la

I was so glad to hear that they are all fine, especially my youngest aunty staying on the 13th floor in the apartment, despite my own family who's sleeping like a heavy log and doesn't know anything about the quake until i called them up to ask them whether are they ok.
Later on, i received alot of fowarded links from YM on the earthquake and Yuki YMed me to ask if i felt the tremour. Then she sent me this link on the earthquakes deteced in the eastern Indonesia. Then another link came to me on 'Magnitude 8.2 - NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA'. I surfed on The Star/latest and found alot of news on the tremour too.

After afew minutes later, Yuki YMed me again asking me what do i think on this earthquake? Could there be another tsunami? I do not know what to think. No comment, i told her. There might be, there might not. I don't dare to think too much. It's sad to imagine those people to lose their home once more after the Dec. 26th Tsunami. But there is a possibility. We'll see about that again roughly after 5 hours subsequent to the quake. In the meantime, I am going to bed, keeping my fingers crossed and pray that everything will be fine.

Concoction 1

It's been more than a week since I've post something here. And I'm not going to use the same lame excuses for this post.
1) Assignments/Discussions/etc.;
2) Nothing exciting happened;
3) Midterm exams;
4) Quizzes;
5) and finally, TAT DAMN SNAIL-LIKED CONNECTION!!!.
It happened to be one of those awful days when the 4mbps line was crammed into 2mbps divided into 3 big blocks of buildings and the Emerald Park management claimed that it was the TMnet's fault and they have nothing to do with it. Heck as if we, the residents, believed them~ Must I stress on more? Sigh..
At times the line is so slow as if it is not moving at all. I referred to my Local Area Connection Status and those packet received & sent was like.. 99 & 105, after "connected" for like 10 minutes!
I can't have any of my Instant Messangers on (cuz MSN kept disconnecting, YM & ICQ totally can't connect), can't surf to any URLs, I can't get into MMU buletin board, I can't get into MMLS to download my notes, I can't post anything on my blog, and most importanly, I CAN'T EVEN SEND MY ASSIGNMENT TO MY FRENS! And one more thing, IT IS A BORE!
But then again, textbooks are piling up on my table. Files, notes, memos, and draft papers covered every inch of my table. And so are the dust!
In a couple of weeks time, I'm going to face a war. War of Examination, to be exact.
Have i started studying? What do u think? I'm all blank inside my head. I admit i have a numb skull. I'm stubborn, I'm lazy, and I'm stupid. WHy? Cuz my numb skull are too dumb to let all moralized advice and trained ethics to go into my brain. *fling out one of the draft papers*
I've told myself to change too many times but I still hold on to one same dim-witted philosophy, 'play first, suffer later'. This is not good. This is totally not good. Like yesterday night, I went bowling after my BFN quiz, came back, continue studying my BEI subject. The result:- I panda-eyed all the way to the exam room. Luckily, i can do more than half of the questions; and the rest... try to copy lor...
Anyway, I hope that all the questions that i've attempted will be correct.
*ah-hem, i'm just being optimistic ;-) *

Preparations for War of Examinations

It's been a long time since i've post anything here. Reasons are:-
1) Assignments/Discussions/etc.;
2) Nothing exciting happened;
3) Boring but stressful week.

I went to Jaya Jusco with KimFei today for some grocery shopping. (*Ah-hem, ALOT of grocery shoppings to do), and came back with 3 big plastic bags full. The amount of my grocery seems to reflect war. Yea, rite.. *eyes rolling*... War with exams - though it's still a couple of weeks away. 3 packs of Maggi, 1 Jacob's biscuit tin, 2 instant porridge, 2 types of buscuits, 1 big box of KoKoKrunch, 10 small packs of Double Decker junkies. 1 tin of junkie with sotong flavour, 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, 1 hair mask, etc. etc.~"saving for the rainy days " lor...

I wanted to buy some books to read, as u guys know, PTPTN had already disburse our loan. So up to Popular i went. There's nothing interesting there, maybe those books on sale are not my type. But there's a particular book which caught my attention. It's about Face Readings by Peter So, a famous palmister. The book is to teach normal people like us how to read people's troubles just by looking at the features of their face. I flip over the book to see whether is the book tempting enough for me to purchase it. Though the author did illustrate the facial features by drawn pictures, but i still don't understand it. The features are drawn clearly in the book to illustrate the differences, but when u look at the actual face, you wouldn't know which is which unless the person has a strong figure. Trust me, i tried to read KimFei's face according to the book but failed. To the left, i saw another expensive but attractive book, 'Empress Wu' by Lillian Too, a famous local feng shui artist, picked up the book, look at the price, and put it back. On the shelves, I saw a series of 'Shopaholic' books, enough to get me tempted, but my budget kept me at bay.

I saw a pair of Vinci high heels which i've been aiming for like half a year on the sales rack. This time, this shoe is on offer, 50% off~!!!! The nett price is RM 25.94. Damn cheap man!!
Picked the pink pair off the rack to try. Though it's nice... but.. still not as nice as i imagined it would be after putting it on. It only compliment the toe and the heel part but not the middle. The middle part of my feet is too bare, looks very empty.. So, back to the offering rack it went.

Why Smart People Stays Single?

Reasons why smart people stays single:

1. Single means you have the time togrow and bethe person you want to be.
2. Single gives you space to grow. It is harder to grow when you are too close to someone.
3. Single means learning to live by yourself.
4. Single means freedom.
5. Single means learning not to need a man/woman to make your life meaningful.
6. Single is realizing that being marriedis not necessarily better.
7. Single means that there could be something wonderful around the corner and you can take advantage of it.
8. Single means you are free to love again.
9. Single means you have more time to care for other people.
10. So if ur are single u can consider to stay single and treasure it. :P haha...
Shave your head and become a monk/nun instead. =p

Harajuku Girls

Have you guys listened to Gwen Stefani's latest single yet? It's called 'Rich Girl'. The tempo is quite nice, a little mixed style. Anyway, since the beat is very catchy, i went to search for the lyrics from azlyrics.com. There's a part where they mentioned about Harajuku girls.

If I was rich girl
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
I'd get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me
I wondered what does Gwen meant by Harajuku girls? What's so special about Harajuku? What is Harajuku? Well, making it simple and understandable, Harajuku is a popular shopping place in Japan to get the most fashionable & unique styles, and not surprisingly, most of the fashionable Japanese kids' favourite hang out. These kids are dressed in a very creative & stunning ways where most girls here would exclaimed 'oh-i-would-rather-kill-myself-if-i-were-to-wear-that' kind of fashion. There's alot of tourist snap shotting pictures of those Harajuku girls. Here's some pics that i've done my "research" on:-
Some are pretty, some are not. Some are outrageous, some are daring. Some are hmm... is there any other word to describe these Harajuku girls?

Lucky Star Shines on Chap Goh Meh... and on ME!

One more thing about Malacca, it's not THAT happenning compared to Penang or KL (no offense to my Malaccan friends out there). But I'm still not used to NOT hearing firecrackers bombarding everywhere during this time of the day, Chap Goh Meh or the fifteenth day of the lunar calender.

I did have a splendid surprise from the hawker aunty opposite SilverCity. Me and two of my, housemates do not want to go to pasar malam today (wednesday). Every Monday & Wednesday, there will always be a pasar malam (or a night market in english) in Bukit Beruang. So, we planned to go to SilverCity to have our dinner. On our way there, we have to pass those stalls, suddenly the 'cute' aunty suddenlly called out to us, "Want to eat? Come, come and eat. Have your dinner here." And we were like, huh?? We are surprised actually, speechless. I think she saw our confusion. Then she told us that she have this so called free-of-charge-mini-buffet every year on the 15th day of CNY. Then we went, "ooh...." (still speechless). She continued, "Come and eat. Come and join us. Look on the bright side, you can even save on your dinner expenses". She smiled. We went, "oohh.. hahaha... nolah, Aunty, don't say like tat." The cute aunty kept insisting us, saying that we have fate with her and that's how we ended up at her place. Then she straight away handed us 3 plates and straight away words came out of my mouth, "FOR REAL??!!" This got the whole 'audience' laughed. Those words was not being processed in my mind before i splurted it out and then only i realized that we actually had an audience full of about 3 tables... looking, listening, and laughing at our cuteness/courtesy-ness. Ha.Ha. I felt like hiding my face.. somewhere.. somewhere behind my housemates. But my housemates are not tall enough! If i hide behind them, it'll be like a giraffe hiding behind a cow's back. *pls don't punch me, dear housemates. have mercy on me... though it's partly true... bleks =p* Eventually, we took the plate, ate there. Her food is quite nice as she served fried bihun, fried mee, chicken leg herb soup, fried wantan, homemade meat balls, stewed/braised couliflower with carrots and black button mushrooms, and curry chicken ad her main course; drinks are only orange juice; and some groundnuts and some sweet soft jellies for dessert. It's only a simple homemade buffet, so we cannot expect too much lar.... Hahaha... Frankly, it's delicious, finger licking good. Especially those meatballs, i love them the most. Everytime the cute aunty passes our table, she'll say, "Eat. Eat more, ya. Don't be shy. There's plenty more food."

We ate and we sat for a moment, chewing those jellies and listening at the cute aunty's jigles and jagles whenever she calls out to more of her friends. "Come lah, come lah and eat. Bring an empty stomach." Turns to another person, "Ask your friend to come along lah." Turns to a youngster, "Aiyoyo, don't pretend you didn't hear me calling lah. I was practically shouting already (she IS shouting). Call XiaoHei to come." Turns to us, "The three of eat some more ok? You're all not rushing for time, right? Eat more. Eat more." We just nod our head, with mouth still full of jellies and groundnuts. We saw her dragging another students/victims. They too, were like us in the beginning, couldn't believe their ears. One of them asked whether is it for real? Me and my housemates grinned widely, with some half munched nuts stuck between our teeths. They ARE EXACTLY like us in the beginning.

We thank both the cute aunty & uncle and left the cute aunty's stall when we've finished.
Stomach's full. Famished. Satisfied.
And today, i DID NOT NEED to spend a single cent on dinner.
Call me calculative, but today, luck's on me~! o:-)
Happy Chap Goh Meh~!!!!!
(i still want more angpows.... =( still not enough for me...)

*P/S: Btw, luck's on my hsemates too! (since they are with me. hehehe... =D )
*Take Note:
-Cute Aunty's dialogs have been changed to English. Good English. You wouldn't want to see me writing in mandarin mixed with hokkien here. Or you'll be seeing question marks above your head. (****???***)-

Constantine a.k.a. Keanu Reeves *smugs smugs*

I went to see Constantine the day before yesterday. I planned AND PREFER to see it during Chinese New Year in my hometown, but i just do not have the time. Why do i say 'prefer'? I think you can ask just anybody in Malacca. I'll list down ALL of it when i have the time, ok.

The movie was cool. Though i've heard some of my hsemates said that they don't understand the story, thus boring. But to me, it's still, cool. Ya know.. Keanu Reeves. He's one of my favourite actor of all time. I fell-in-love with Keanu Reeves when he starred in 'Speed' (the bus chasing movie); then the 'Matrix' trilogy; and now 'Constantine'. By the way, he look damn thin in 'The Little Buddha'. Heard that he had to be on a strict diet to star in that movie, just to make him become so-damn-thin untill you can see his rib bones. Anyway, that is not the main point. The main point is what is Constantine about. Basically, it's about this guy, John Constantine, who's an exorcist, tried to buy his way into heaven by helping people to perform exorcisms. He doesn't want to go to hell because he had sent alot alot of satans, devils, etc. into hell. I mean, let's put ourselves in his shoes, you wouldn't want to be stuck in a prison where most of the prisoners there were sent by you. That's exactly how he feels and the reason he doesn't want to go to hell. But Lucifer is waiting excitedly for his forecoming. The plot is about Mammon, son of Lucifer, wants to come to our world using the exact same way as how Jesus had come, with the help of a halfbreed angel called Gabriel. These devils made used of a pair of twins with high psychic powers, Isabelle & Angela. Isabelle was influenced by the devils to commit suicide and Angela is determined to prove it right. So there she goes in search for a person named Constantine. And the adventure started. In the end, they found out that Mammon planned to come to our world by using Angela to give birth to him, just like the way Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus. Constantine managed to stop him by only a few second, by sacrificing himself. Since he had sacrificed himself, he was accepted into heaven, but Lucifer still wants him in hell. After the struggles, Constantine was to remain on earth where we need him most, while he gives himself another chance to realize the plans that God has made for him. Actually this story will be more interesting if you know a thing or two on the bible.

A few funny parts were in the movie, especially when the audience thought that he was going to kiss Angela. Twice. The director was good in giving the viewers a little of their own imagination & suspence. I can't keep on the story going anymore. Blurred vision adee.. but here are some of the wallpapers & pics to share with you guys. =)




And here are some wallpapers that i got from their official website. Just right click on your selected picture & choose 'set as desktop background'. Voila~! There's Constantine on your desktop.






Going to bed now.. and dream all about Keanu~~~~~~ Ahhh... *all smiles*

Valentine's...

Valentine's Day... pah~!
I celebrated it with something special.... and somewhere special....
Imagine the venue with dimly litted orange light, that fits contrastly with a little of the pendaflour lights. Ceilings, decorated with cute semicircle type of lights parenthetically with railings of long aluminium railings as a decoration. An elegant staircase leading from the ground floor till the 2nd floor. A huge panel of glass which can act as a full-length mirror. It was so quite... only with a few buzzes of voices from the background. The table is full of things, the chair is comfortable. Well, under the table, I took of my shoes, exercising my feet abit. I looked in front of me.. smiling shyly at my friend... He smiled back. Ahh.. i tried to relax. Then, i looked down at the table again. And i sigh....

How can i finish all 6 chapters in just 3 nights??!!! Those books on the table had already made my brain all frizzed up. I tried to relax but i still can't exactly do that. My friend from the opposite table saw me taking off my shoes to exercise my feet under the table, which i felt like i have to dig a hole to hide myself out of shyness! The glass panels reflected the books on the shelves which later i have to drill in to find some books on my Research subject. The busybody security guard keeps walking up & down the staircase to see whether anybody is talking on the handphone, preparing to jump on them anytime. Those voices... some were previously a girly conversation which was hushed by other students to keep them quiet.

Get a reality check: I am "romantically dating" with my books in the library.

Anyway, these are some pics of those valentine flowers i seen in one of those fowarded emails which i would like to share it out.















And the best for the last, this is my favourite one. Pinks tulips with TEDDY~!!!


By the way, Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!!

I Know What You Did this CNY 2005 (*part 2)

Day 6 - 1st Day of Chinese New Year : Ang Pow mali-mali
"GONG XI FA CHAI~!!!"
As usual, those words... makes me.. feel.. older...
Got up early in the morning, and straightaway got scoldings from my Dad. My highlighted hair. Sigh... not gonna elaborate on it anymore.
Went to relatives' house to 'pai nee'. It's our first time going 'pai nee' on the first day of CNY because all those years, my parents always have Open House from noon till late at night. But not this year. This year's Open House only starts at 6pm in the evening till late at night, with buffet dinner.
Things got busy around 5pm when the caterer came and arrange those tables and chairs. Sorry folks, this year no roti jala. But the laksa & nasi tomato is quite delicious.
Relatives came about 9pm and my sisters went to put some firecrackers with their friends from the island and a few younger cousins of mine. They fired a 8 feet long, red firecrackers. Geez, it was so loud that my eardrums are bombarded.

Day 7 - 2nd Day of CNY : Lagi-lagi Ang Pow
Again, got up early to go to my Grandmother's house. All my uncles & aunties will be there. It'll be so pack like a Family Reunion. Alot of the came all the way from Johor, Klang, KL, etc. which i lost count. Younger cousins running here and there. Teenage cousins hiding in one corner with PCs, telling their joke-of-the-year, soft frinks on one hand, ang pows on the other, etc. Aunties busy preparing delicacies & mee rebus, halal and non-halal. Uncles, trying to make an immitation of God-of-Prosperity, but got run down by small little "mobsters" demanding for more angpows. Elders... well, either they're lost in conversation or lost in the idiot box, with 'hehe & haha's came out once in a while.

Day 8 - 3rd Day of CNY : AhKor's Banglo
Pulled AiLin out to accompany me to the island to visit my AhKor in Sungai Ara. I'm still not that familiar with some of the roads especially the Bayan Lepas area, so AiLin will be my tour guide a.k.a. 'orang tunjuk jalan'.
Met AhKor and Irene in Super Tanker, took lunch, went to his house. Situated in Taman Bayan, a new housing scheme, i believe, his house/banglo is very spacious, to consider only 4 person living in it. He showed us around his new house and gosh, his family really knows the definition of 'luxurious' (i'm quoting from AiLin), a house with big personal bathroom for each room, and a sauna & jacuzzi on the 2nd floor with an "attic". His room is cool, i mean, cool colours makes it look cool, in contrast with the hot weather outside before we came into his house. Closets are closed, beds are made, but aih.. his laptop & other 'ka-chang' are splatted on the floor! *smugs* =D

Day 9 - 4th Day of CNY : Pegi sana, pegi sini
List of the events. Went to SweeIm's house at 9.30am, CheaYing's house at 10.45am, WayNah's house at 12pm, YitShee's house at 1pm and meet Corina there, had lunch at 2.00pm, and reached my house at 2.30pm. Planned to go to AiLin's house next with Corina, then to the cinema to watch Constantine with SweeIm, but my eldest cousin is coming all the way from Kuala Selangor to visit. Sigh... i really wanna watch Keanu Reeves~

Day 10 - 5th Day of CNY : tak mau balik lagi, mau lagi angpow =(
Went back to Malacca... in a hot weather... like 35 degrees celcius... stuck in traffic jam... sweats pouring from head to toe... arrrhhhh~!!!!!


I STILL WANT MORE ANGPOWS~!!!!!!!

I STILL WANT MORE HOLIDAYS~!!!!!!

I Know What You Did this CNY 2005 (*part 1)

I'm back in Malacca. A little exhausted. All for all. Still in a good shape.. except for a little skin squeezing itself out of my jeans. That's the proof of going back to hometown and settle myself in a very comfy place where it ALWAYS WELCOME me back. Oh, and the food itself, for all that matters, u know.

Day 1 - Back to hometown :
Quickly rushed back to EP after class. AhKor is gonna fetch me back. Yahoo~!!!
*No more stucking with 24 other people to get on the hot, stuffy bus.*
Reached Penang at about 4pm. Too bad my parents are still working & my sisters are not at home at that time. Just so the time, i asked AhKor to drop me at Secret Recipe in AutoCity, where i pampered myself in a delicious, soft chocolate chese cake called 'Chocolate Indulgence'. It goes perfectly with the Sparkling Juice in the so-damn-hot weather. Ahhhh... quenched my thirst.

Day 2 - Back in hometown :
My younger sister woke me up, telling me that my youngest sister vomited. And my younger sister do not know what food could she eat since she's just vomited and at that time we haven't taken our breakfst yet. Confusing? OK, it's like this.. A woke me up to tell me that B just vomited. A wants to prepare breakfast but do not know what food is suitable for B.
After lunch, Dad dragged me to my old house to take back some of my Mom's kitchen ware which she left behind while packing. And also brought back more 'kitchen rubbish' which only my Mom finds it useable.

Day 3 - To the market :
After all the naggings from my mother, i finally woke up. My ears couldn't stand the fuzzing & buzzing for what the heck of commotion was about. My Mom ordered me to go to the market to get some food for breakfast, buy some 'siu mai' & crabsmeat, and on the way i can shop for new year's clothes. I haven't buy any new clothes yet! Basically, it's a last-minute shopping. Luckily i finally found like 2 new tops. Kinda depressing by the look of the quantity, but what more can i say, it's a last-minute shopping. In fact, i have actually found a few nice clothes... but no more my size. I'm not petite but yet not fat, which makes the matter worse. All those averagely-normal size clothes are sold out like hot cakes. Again, it's a last-minute shopping.

Day 4 - Trips to the toilet :
My Dad told me to go to the Telekom in the morning but i had diarrhoe. It's not food poisoning, it's the so-called slimming cereal i took. The function of the slimming-cereal is, of course OBVIOUSLY BY READING IT, to make me become slimmer. I was hungry the night before so i ate the cereal, which supposingly make u feel full, not like slimming-teas which only makes u still feel empty in the stomach. The taste of that slimming cereal was really AWFUL! By morning, i was rushing in & out of the toilet for 4 times. And oh, parenthetically after all the toilet-running exercise, i didn't even loose a gram! *curse curse curse*
So the Telekom trip was postponed till 3.30pm. My youngest sister debated that Telekom was in Tmn. Ciku, and without giving a second thought, straight to Tmn. Ciku i went. Ended up there just to find that my sis told me the wrong place. She mistook the TNB office for Telekom! Clearly as she had guessed, she got her new-year-scoldings from me. Eventually we did went to the real Telekom building, stood there as grandly as any pre-war conctrete building would be. And a consultation of appling a StreamyX with a young, good looking malay guy in the office really makes my day after all.

Day 5 - Reunion Dinner :
It's true where Mom's are always the best. I just joked with my Mom the other day that everytime we have our reunion dinner, we never have 'lou sang' before. This year, good ol' Mom bought all the ingredients for our very own homemade 'lou sang' which consists of carrots, young mangoes, papayas, purple cabbages, etc. All fruits of different colours. The taste is as good as it looks =)
Took a nap before the long night of praying at midnight accompanied by the sounds of fireworks.
