Sawadee Ka =D

DAY 1

I love the feeling when you take off, don't you? It's like, first it's slow, and then as it takes up speed it just feels so great! Then you can feel that you're on air because somehow, just somehow you know that the airplane's not on ground anymore. The feeling is just awesome! It's amazing that God blessed mankind with the wisdom to create this big thingy. Haha. It was a smooth flight with a great landing. I arrived in the Phuket International Airport at 1300 (Thailand time - which is an hour slower than Malaysia) from the LCC Terminal KL (since I was riding AirAsia). 6 of us (my family, Uncle Lim and wife) take a van to the Central Karon Village Hotel.


Me and my bro, Jo

The van brought us to Centara Villas. It seems that the "Central" name has been dropped and replaced with the new "Centara". While waiting for our bookings to be clarified, we were each served a coconut. Very pleasant surprise. Hehe.

But it turned out that we were at the wrong hotel. So they gave us a ride to the one where there were rooms for us, because Centara Villas was full. This is the Centara Karon Resort.

At the reception counter, there's this bowl of welcome cookies that taste REAL good. My bro and I take one or two every morning before we go out, haha. On the first day they were soft and on the next few days we caught them right out of the oven, where they were crisp and fresh.

Oh, and they also gave this welcome drink which tasted REAL good too. Haha. It's like guava, with a little tropical flavours. Hehe. Uncle Lim was joking that we're already full, no need to go find for lunch. All the free welcome stuff we get, especially the coconut which was kind of filling cause we dug out the inside flesh. Hehe.

So we were shown to our rooms by this Filipino girl who speaks English with a really nice accent. And she could pronounce my bro's name. Anyone who can say "Josiah" without going Jo-sai-ah is considered very good. Haha.

OK, so in the room there was this nice lighting decor. Nice pattern, right?

Stupidly enough, no pics were taken of the room itself. Haha. Anyway, I'll describe it to you. There's two single beds, a desk, a bedside table, a fridge (with two complimentary bottles of water and other drinks that you have to pay for), a safety vault, a cupboard, an umbrella (which is wanted to take, like the Haatyai one that mum and dad were allowed to take back, but I was told by mum that the room would be checked and the missing umbrella would be charged to our bill, haha), a balcony, a TV set and that's just about all. It's a nice room. This is the toilet. And you can see the reflection in the mirror for the opposite of the sink. There's only a shower, no bath tub. Hehe.

After checking in and settling down, we went outside to find for food. The resort is located strategically cause when you come out, there's lots of stores and guest houses which open very early in the morning. Our first meal was at this street store:



After that, we went back to the resort and rested until Uncle David and family arrived. Their plane was later than us, so we were waiting for them before we went for dinner. Uncle David, Aunty Janet and Keith were driving for hours before they found Centara. Uncle David rented a van for the entire duration of our stay, so he drove the van to the Patong Beach area (he was joking that after driving for hours since they were lost, he was practically a Phuket local) and we had dinner at this seafood restaurant. They had valet service, haha, sort of lah, cause Uncle David was asking where to park and the lady said it's fine, they'll park for us.

We had oysters, som tam (papaya salad), tom yam goong, curry crabs, and more. I can't take tom yam goong, it's too spicy for me. Got me coughing after that. Then we walked around in the Patong Beach area where there were lots of street stalls, kinda like China's Silk Road and Petaling Street. Phuket has three major beaches: Patong, Kata and Karon. All these beaches have shopping areas where you can find all sorts of things - mostly similar items. We went back to the resort rather early. According to Malaysian time, I should already be asleep so I was missing the bed.

DAY 2

On the 2nd day, we went to the go-kart speedway. At first, I was apprehensive about driving a go-kart by myself, so I just shared a two-seater one with dad. It was pretty fun, so I decided to have a go myself. I'm glad I did. Hehe. It was lots of fun! Now I so wanna go to the Sepang one. It seems that all the racing games that I always play actually helps when I'm really racing.

But I forgot to take off my specs, so when I accelerated full speed, my specs was threatening to fall off. I had to keep on pushing my specs when it slides down my nose. Hehe. Here's a few pics of me go-karting!


Me in white and Jo in red

We headed for the shooting range after that. Right before the shooting range is a water skiing thingy. People on a board hold onto something that is connected with a wire to these two wire contraptions. Sigh. I don't think you'll get it. I don't get what I'm saying either. Haha. Never mind. Drop it. Lol. Point is, you don't need a boat, so it really cuts costs. Anyway, I didn't try that. I had no plans of getting wet. And seeing that my point of equilibrium is a little senget (as I've told my friends many times before that that is the cause of my clumsiness), chances are I would definitely not be able to balance and therefore fall embarrassingly quick before I even reach the end into the water.
We entered the shooting range where there was practically no one. Only one guy who brought his gun and I think he's an expert cause he always got the bullseye. Here's pics of the uncles, my dad, Keith and Jo who tried it out with a sniper. None of the aunties or me gave it a shot. Eventhough I play Counter Strike, I'm not very keen about shooting in real life. Haha.

Uncle David
Dad
Uncle Lim
Keith
Jo

The guy in the white shirt who's in all of the above pics leds us to the bungy jump place. Yup, bungy jump! Hehe. So excited lah. Cause I'm planning to jump. Only me, Jo and Keith jumped. Dad, Uncle David and Uncle Lim wanted to give a shot too, but they were saying that their heart would stop even before they took the jump. Haha.

OK, so we're supposed to jump from 50 meters. This is a pic of how high the whole thingy is.

We went one by one (Keith first, then Jo, and lastly, me). First, the man checked my mass, and then I have to take off my slippers. He wrapped two spongy things separately around both my lower legs and ties a thick-looking rope around the two spongy things and between my feet. Then I hop into this thingy (pardon my incessant use of the word "thingy", I have no idea what all these thingy-s are properly called) in the pic below which will slowly bring me to the top.

I was praying on the way to the top. But surprisingly enough, I wasn't nervous. Hehe. As strange as it may sound, I'm almost always imperturbable. There was a fellar in the thingy aka the instructor who was telling me what I was supposed to do. He asked me not to look down, just look around at the surroundings because I might have a freak fit if I looked down. Once I reached the top, I hopped to the edge, and heard dad calling me. Automatically, I looked down and I never realized how high up I was until that moment. I could only mutter under my breath, "Oh, goodness. I'm so high!" Haha. Then the instructor said, "3-2-1 Bungy JUMP!" and I spread my arms straight out and just...... fell. My eyes were closed when I was falling, but I opened them halfway and my arms were dangling right in front of me. I tried to grope, expecting to touch something but I remembered that it was only air, and that was when I kinda had a midair freak fit. "OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!" I screamed. Yup, I screamed. And everyone below was laughing. I cradled my head a few times cause I was feeling dizzy. All I could say was, "Ahhh! Ahh! Ah!" It grew feeble. Haha. In the end, when I was swinging there, all I could manage was, "Let me down... Let me down..." Lol. Once I was low enough, I was brought to ground by another man and relieved of the spongy thingys. Mum said I jumped really well. Hehe. And I agree, if I may say so myself, haha. What do you think? XD There's a video at the end of this blog showing my jump. If you hear properly, you can make out - vaguely - my screams of horror. Haha. Here's pic of Keith, Jo and me with our Certificates of Courage. (Really, I only did the jump for this certificate. Hehe. Now I can say, "I bungy jumped!!!")

We drove to Tesco to have lunch. Their food court is super clean. After eating, me and Jo went to buy this snack that we saw. Made friends with the girl manning the stall who thought that me and Jo were amusing when we pointed at opposite options when she asked whether we wanted a plate or a polystyrene box. Hehe. So, anyway, these are waffles which taste AWESOME! There's original, sesame & salt, maple, mixed fruits, almonds and rum raisin.

Also bought a few donuts from Dunkin' Donuts. I had this donut called Mochi Ring which is shaped like the ones J. Co here sell, and it's sticky and chewy inside. I like it cause I memang like omochi. I like sticky stuff like that, example: kuih bakul or nin guo. Anyway, haha, I also had this donut which is called Tart shown in the pic below. It's actually strawberry jam in the middle, and the purple one is blueberry jam. All the whitish stuff is coconut.
Then I bought two shorts from Tesco: one grey, one white and Jo bought grey shorts and this matching pair or sleeveless shirt and shorts that he can wear for basketball. After that, we went back to the resort as it was starting to pour. This pic below shows a rainbow that we could see clearly from my room balcony after the rain stopped. Pretty, huh? It looks nicer in real life. Duh. Haha.
In the evening, we went for a massage at this massage parlour that's really close to the resort. Wow, my first time getting a massage. Feel so pampered, man. Haha. It was pouring outside, which made it even cooler cause you can see people running around outside with and without umbrellas while we were inside falling asleep. Haha.

At night, we headed out for dinner at this place in the Kata Beach area which is super beautiful. Too bad we didn't bring our camera out so didn't get any pics of Dino Park. It's a restaurant-cum-mini golf attraction. Really beautiful. They did it so well!

Then we stopped at a little bar cause Uncle Lim saw a pool table and wanted to play. So the men played pool. Uncle Lim's quite good! A European couple came and sat down and ordered some food, then watched Uncle Lim, Uncle David and dad play against each other. Then another two more European guys and a Thai girl came also. They ordered some drinks. One of the European guys challenged Uncle Lim to a game. He didn't get the last ball in, so the European guy won by default. Oh well, it's all for the fun of it. Hehe. Although the ah mo lang looked real serious and also real arrogant. Hehe. After that, we went back to the resort to catch some shuteye.

DAY 3

Mum, dad, me and Jo woke up early, around 730, and I was surprised I could waked up so early although in Malaysia it was 8 and that's usually an OK time for me to wake up. We walked to the beach and so happened to do some early morning shopping. Here's a pic of the tuk tuk taxis that are so popular in Thailand but according to Ko, they cost quite a lot to ride in it.


After that, we walked back to the resort and went out for breakfast with Uncle Lim and wife, and Uncle David and family. When we were done, we went for elephant trekking. First we had to wait for the elephants to come. In the meantime, I went and looked the python that they kept and was allowed to touch it. Wow, the skin is so chunted! It just ate a chicken and could hardly move (you could see the huge bump in the middle of its body).

Me and Jo sat on an elephant called Wanta. The ride was kinda bumpy, but it was fun. Especially when we're going downhill, it was kinda scary. Oh yeah, and Uncle David's elephant decided to have a poop, and it was so gross and so big and so brownish-yellowy. Ugh. Lol. I feel kinda sad for the elephants, cause all they do is walk everyday on the same route. I hope that they're well taken care of and that the love that they get there more than makes up for all the walking they have to do each day. I definitely have a soft spot for animals more than humans cause I don't feel for the people who have to walk on the same route leading the elephants. Haha.



Then Uncle David drove us to Phuket Town where they were finding for this Chinese restaurant which dad and his group of friends once ate at years ago. It was a Teochew restaurant and they found it after asking for directions from the Austrian Consulate building. Hahaha. It was the only building we saw.
Oyster omelette or hor chien
Mega fishballs
Steamed red snapper in soya sauce (the traditional way)
Suckling pig (I couldn't even bear to look at this pig. I felt so sad for it. Even for dead animals, my soft spot is still there. Look at its eyes, and its hands and legs. Oh my goodness~ T_T)
Crab and tang hoon in a claypot

Eventhough it was raining, we still went out to the Patong Beach area to find for food. Had dinner there.

This is an absolutely delicious sausage. It's really big and slathered in some sweet-spicy sauce.

DAY 4

It's the last day!

Uncle David, Aunty Janet and Keith left really early in the morning cause their plane was earlier than ours, which was at 1605 hours.

Me, mum, dad, Jo, Uncle Lim and his wife walked to the beach. The weather was really nice.

The beach
Beautiful morning glories

Mum, dad, Uncle Lim and his wife decided to go for another round of massage but this time, me and Jo were not allowed. Haha. We were cool with it though. Kinda aching after the first time. I thought massages were supposed to make your muscles more relaxed. I guess I'm opposite. Maybe cause I've never had a massage and my muscles are usually never flexed, haha, almost non-existent.

So me and Jo walked back to the resort. He wanted to go and play pool so he left me in the room. With a camera. Alone. Outcome? Camwhoring session. Yah lah. I never knew I would actually camwhore too. Oh well. I should have some fun anyway. Hehe. Cause I had nothing else to do. I already finished my "Learning to Swim" book (and no, it has absolutely nothing about freestyles or backstrokes). You can either scroll down to the end of my camwhoring pics OR you can look. Hahaha.






Then it was time to go home! T_T OK, I wasn't so depressed, really. The only time I actually missed leaving a foreign country was when I visited the UK when I was 12. Honestly, I hated the idea of going back to Mrs Kao's tuition, and UPSR, and school. Haha. Anyway, enough of my digressing. We rented a van to send us to the airport. I feel asleep in the luxurious, spacious, comfy van. Hehe.

The Phuket International Airport has absolutely nowhere for you to sit. Seriously! It's not user-friendly. Anyway, bought some donuts from Dunkin' Donuts and some chicken tenders from Burger King which surprisingly, tastes really good! The people in Burger King greet you like how they do in Sushi King here. Not that they say "mase mase", but they say, "Welcome!" all over the place.

In the departure hall, we still had some time left. So I hurriedly got a few last minute things. Then we had a grilled chicken burger from this place called Chester's with the last few baht dad had. The gate was changed from 6 to 4 to 5. Everyone was queueing up. Behind us was a couple. The lady was French and her husband was a New Zealander. Cool, right? Hehe. Mum and dad chatted witht hem for awhile. The lady said she loved Malaysia, not so much the Malaysians. Haha. Anyway, we boarded the plane and Jo sat beside the window. Here's a few pics of the view from our airplane window. Absolutely beautiful =D





My bro!
I had to force him to take a pic with me before we touched down cause I really wanted a pic in the airplane, hehe

And here below is our airplane, the AK 877 (we're not supposed to take pics of the airplane, but whatever, haha)



So that's it! My great Thai adventure. Haha. More or less. Thailand is so much more than I expected. Hehe. The Thais are super hospitable! The people there are really what makes Thailand a great place to holiday in.

At last I've finshed this post. You don't know how much I've procrastinated. Haha. Enjoy!

Anita just asked me through MSN if I'm in love...


Ha?


She asked me cause of my personal message: "All the stars are coming out tonight, they're lighting up the sky tonight, for you, for you."


Funny... Haha... Cause my personal message definitely doesn't sound like I'm in love...


(",)


Oh well. This is a random post. No reason. I'm just very semangat-ed to blog now, you know! =D And oh yeah, today Interact Club set up desks at certain parts of the school where they promoted their "Hot Shots". It's where you and a group of friends take photos and they'll decorate it with captions or whatever - your choice. [Man, I feel like a promoter... XD] So, anyway, it's like for you to keep as a memory, you know. So, Lavenya and Michele each paid a deposit and they told me that next week I gotta come cause there'll be a photo shoot. Lavenya wants to take with the gang and Michele wants to take with, well, half of the gang too. Haha. So yeah, photo shoot next week. Haha. I'm so gonna try to get Usha to get in it. She says she can't smile nicely and she won't look good. I said I'll pay her. Lol.

Signing out...

Wednesday, 24 October 2007

So school reopened this week. But I only went back to school today. Hehe. Yup yup. Anyway, we didn't do much again today - as is the norm now. But all the Form 3s were separated into two classes. Still, considering the number of people who actually attended -even with all 8 classes combined, they could still fit into two classes.

But I'm happy to be at school again, cause I can see my friends after 11 days. Missed them loads. Only Lavenya and Michelle didn't come today, but I got to meet everyone else and Jolene again! =D Anyway, played Cluedo with Usha, Kavitha, Jessica and Angel. I won once and guessed wrongly once. Hehe. Played UNO too, and I finished first, followed by Jolene. Haha. Didn't really do much lah actually. Lol. No pep talks today.

My post will end here. It's good enough that I even posted, right?

Oh yeah,

Happy Birthday
Michelle Tan Shin Yi
*Smiles*

October 18, A Truly Awesome Day =D

This photo was taken when we were about to leave =)

OK. I'm blogging again - at last. Haha. Changed my blog template first. It acts as an impetus for me to revive my already dead blog. So, a quick rundown of how things have been with me. PMR's over! Although, I, quite frankly, don't really feel extremely ecstatic b'cos it just means that I can forget about studies temporarily. Hehe. Today's the last day of the Hari Raya Aidiladha holidays. What have you been doing? I've been filling my days with anime, movies, TV series and books. Hehe. Now is the TV serial season, with new seasons of Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break and Heroes, not to mention the new spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice. Yup yup. And I'm watching Hayate no Gotoku, a really silly, ridiculous but entertaining anime. Lol. Currently reading Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

Anyway, I was at Sunway Lagoon and Pyramid 2 today! Yep. It was the highlight of my holiday week. It was also to celebrate Mervy's b'day. So, there was 8 of us: me, Kym, Mervy, Wei Shern, Lyon, Jon, Michael and my younger bro. We met at the loh mee store in Melawis for breakfast (Mervy's idea, obviously XP) at 8:30AM. The weather threatened to rain, and there was a slight drizzle when we walked to the Teluk Pulai KTM station. Met Koko Joshua there too. He was heading for college.

We arrived at the Subang Jaya KTM station and got on a bus. And guess who I met?? AMANDA LEE! Hehe. Yup yup. I didn't even see her. She grabbed my wrist as I was walking pass her to find a seat. Hehe. We were like, "Hi! Oh my goodness! Hi!!" Lol. We talked awhile, then I went and sat with Lyon. Lyon was totally freaked out about getting on rides when we reached Sunway Lagoon. The sun was coming out and he knew he couldn't escape this time. Haha.

So, we got our tickets and entered Sunway Lagoon. Kept our stuff (bags, wallets, slippers, shoes) in two lockers. Then we went for a dip. Hehe. So fun. You know, when you're dry and all, you're apprehensive about getting wet, but it's like you're taking a risk and then you get all wet. That one splash and you just feel like you need to get completely drenched. Haha. You might not get my drift. Lol.
We went for the wet rides: Kalahari Slide, etc. Lots of fun! You have to walk the stairs up so high, but the ride coming down is only a few seconds. Hehe. I sat those wet rides with Kym. I sat in front. There was this slide where it's covered up so you don't know where you're going and it's all dark. That was awesome. =D

Afterds, we went to the dry park. Sat on the The Lost City of Gold, Buffalo Bill Coaster, Niagara Falls and Pirates Adventure aka Galleon. With the first one, I sat on this with Lyon. He was most freaked out about this cause this was the big one. He really held my hand sooooo tightly. Lol. We were all like, "You OK or not? Sure or not?" In Niagara Falls, I sat with Mervy in front, Kym behind me, and Jon behind Kym. Going up slowly, Mervy almost crushed us. Hahaha. Jon was like, "Merv, you should sit behind lah! Why are you in front?" And Mervy's like, "The handle very slippery." Lol. We actually sat on the Galleon after we bathed and all, cause we had to have footwear, and we are only allowed to open the locker once. Yup yup. Seriously, that 360 degree one is an absolutely-guaranteed-to-give-you-butterflies-in-your-stomach ride. Too bad, Jon and Lyon didn't sit on that. Only the other 6 of us. The things that keep you in your seat just press hard onto your thighs and your chest. I thought I'd be flat after that. Hahaha. And we were all, "Ahhhh!" Lol. Seriously, when you're just hanging up there, honestly, you can feel your brain rolling around your head. Lol. Aside from that, we also went on the Buffalo Bill Coaster where we sat in this ride which goes twice, and Mervy kept on plucking leaves for me. Hahaha. The second time we rode on it (which means we went four rounds), we each took one seat. So only 8 of us were on the ride. Hehe.

When we were done, we took a bath. None of us brought soap, shampoo or cleanser. Lol. So Kym found a soap from one of the toilets ("It's OK wan. Just gotta clean off one layer and can use adi," she says). We used it for our hair and our face and our body. Yup, 3-in-1. Hahaha.

Then we headed to Pyramid, where we had KimGary's. Me and Mervy went ahead (of cos lah, he was hungry, haha) and I told the fellar, "Pat (8) koh wai. Um moi siu yin geh," which when translated means, "8 people. Non-smoking." =D We all ate a lot. And split Mervy's bill between 7 of us, as a b'day treat for him.

Me, Wei Shern, Jon and Michael went shopping cause Jon wanted to get some things. Kym, Mervy, Lyon and Jo headed for sushi after that. Haha. They still wanted to eat. The four of us went to Quiksilver, Billabong, Nike, Converse, Extreme and Tropicana Life until we found all the things that Jon wanted to get. We met the other four again at Quiksilver and headed home, as it was already 5:30PM. Left home in two cabs. Got on the train and it was quite packed. Only less people after the Shah Alam stop. Me and Michael were talking about kids and school, while the others talked about other stuff. Me and Mervy were sunburnt! Mr Sun and Miss Sun! Haha. I was laughing so much cause his looked like a mask around his eyes, and he was like, "Why you laughing at me? Look at yourself! Haha.Do you have a mirror?"

All in all, had an awesome day. It seems Juan Gin saw me at Sunway Lagoon also! Haha. I didn't see him though. What a coincidence - for him. Lol.

Not to forget, to Mervy:

HAPPY 17TH B'DAY!!! You're older but more wiser. Haha. I hope. Lol. You've been such a great friend. With a great sense of humour and comedic timing, you rock! I'm not sure you know how cool and fun you are, but I'm sure that all the people that you will meet in future, that God destines to cross your path, will find you as great as I know you are =D God bless you always and continue to make you a blessing to others! Mr Sun, shine on!!! Lol~

My Baptism

On 18 August 2007, I got baptised. I am happy to say that God compelled me to take this step of faith and proclaiming my belief in Him and also to identify myself with His name. On a lighter note, I was a little nervous at first. Uncle Chee Beng baptised me.




After me was Han's turn. He's this really tall guy who's really funny. Hehe. When we were out of the pool, and clothed in dry clothes, he asked me how's his hair. He's bald actually. OK. Anyway, this is a picture of him before being immersed in the water.

Took some pictures so that I can fill up my blog. There's supposed to be a nicer one than this, but the camera kind of messed it up a little. I don't know why.

Wei Shern, Mervy, Kym, me

Boon Hoy was messing around. And Mervyn said something about balancing head size or summat like that. Haha.

Having refreshments and chatting (talking about "Malaysiaku Gemilang")
No comment... Haha... They just wanted me to take the pic...
Lyssa, Kym, me, Che Che Ee Vee

Me and Koko Jeremy (my sister's boyfriend)

Family photo (this one's not that good, cos Jo's face isn't entirely visible)

This is better =D
I got a gift from Mervy and Wei Shern. It's a really cool Bible, a bookmark and a message. Hehe. Love, love, love the Bible! Will post a picture of it in the next post as well as a picture of my certificate of baptism. Bet you guys have never seen one. OK, not all of you lah. Koko Adrian (my senior group youth leader) gave me two books: "Buried by Baptism" and "More Than A Carpenter". Pictures of those in the next post too.
Too bad Jon and Michael couldn't make it. Last minute extra class, it seems. But Michael told me this morning that he really wanted to come. Wanted to walk to KGH but Jon said by the time they got there it'd be over. Haha. So true.

Being baptised marks a new chapter of my relationship with God. As it has been stressed, "I am a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
P.S. The wine I tasted for the first time today didn't make me choke. The warm sensation lingered in my throat for awhile then moved down to my heart. Haha. Seriously, my haert was hot. But it tasted good. =D

Friday, 10 August 2007

This week's trials are over. Yay. My Maths I was not bad, and my Maths II was easy --- so I think. But my intuition almost always fails me. Maths I's question No. 40 is a printing error. Although I should be smart enough to check the BM side of the question. Sometimes my logic fails me and sometimes I use it and in the process get my answer wrong. Anyway, Usha and Pune-chan are very proud of me cause I know how to do the 1st and 2nd questions that are always the same kind. Haha. So now you know how sucky I am at Maths. And for the perfect square question, being the not number-inclined person I am, I used the calculator to square every single number from 24 to 100. I know, very sampat-ed. Haha. My frens all came to ask me how my paper was, knowing how lousy I am, they were concerned. Man, how I love 'em! Lol. But I expected today to be a real letdown, cause I would be doing Maths, but it was pretty OK. The formulae included don't always help. Not really. Haha. But knowing it's there just makes me a little relieved.



The way PPD forms the sentence structures, questions and graphs are just freakin' lousy! I mean, it's like they don't really give much thought since it's trials. And Pn. Vijaya says they didn't bother calling. Something about "kroni" or something. Dunno lah.



Anyway, I had a great day at school. Free periods are always spent in a worthwhile way. Got treated to chocolate cake today also: Lynnette's b'day. I skipped class again today and headed for the library with Jolene. Michelle says Pn. Jamuna was asking for me. Oh no. Tho she'll most probably forget next week. Haha.


Maybe I'll be going to pasar malam later. The heat is burning, man. And this morning it was cooling. Signing out...

You're a falling star, you're the getaway car
You're the line in the sand when I go too far
You're the swimming pool, on an August day
And you're the perfect thing to say

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute
Ah, when you smile at me, you know exactly what you do
Baby, don't pretend, that you don't know it's true
'Cause you can see it when I look at you

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell
You're a mystery, you're from outer space
You're every minute of my everyday

And I can't believe that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you, baby, just because I can
Whatever comes our way, ah, we'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do

"Everything"
Michael Buble

Sorry I haven't been blogging in forever. Nothing to blog about. Anyway, as most of you know, MGS Canteen Day was on the last day of last month. Had a blast. Though I was really red after that. Thank you, Wei Shern for coming. Haha. My games group didn't clean up and the teachers are saying that we're gonna get punished. So far, nothing has happened. Hopefully nothing will.

That night, KGH held a BBQ Nite. Lots of fun cause I got Angel, Ching, Jolene, Michele and Jolene's sister to join. And Uncle Chee Beng and Aunty Alice's duet wasn't that bad lah, Mervy. Haha. Anyway, we sang a song from "The Fighting Temptations". Chorus goes like this:

Seems like I always fall short
Of bein' worthy
Cuz I ain't good enough
But He still loves me
I ain't no superstar
Spotlight ain't shinin' on me
Cuz I ain't good enough
But He still loves me

I'm not perfect
Yes, I do wrong
I'm trying best
But it ain't good enough
Shunned by the world
If I don't succeed
Cuz I ain't good enough
But He still loves me

Pretty last minute presentation. The ending was also very unprepared. Haha. But it was fun, overall. Great but tiring day. =D

Next day was a Sunday. Uncle Tian Eng spoke on "How Do I Love God?" He's such an entertaining speaker. Mentioned something about the olden rules, and how you can't exceed this amount of work on a Sabbath. "If an object is moving then work is done... " Haha. After that was YF. Continued with Acts 5 and Adrian asked a question on Gamaliel's reasoning. Followed Wei Shern home cause Dad was at a golf game, Mum was out and Ko was at GT PJ.

That's all I did over the weekend.
