Sayonara Y2K7

You know what? I'm actually gonna stick to this current blog of mine for the time being. I've been pinning my thoughts and ambitions (basically everything lah) over here and it'll be a pity to just give it up to move elsewhere right? Who cares if weirdos out there know every single detail of my life events... I'm sorry if I have the ability to make you envious of me and hate me so much. But what do you want me to do about it? I usually enjoy fighting fire with fire, however, this time round, I'll just sprinkle you down with a hose =)


GENTING/KL TRIP

I was shaken awake by my mum at 5am on the morning of the 15th. Imagine how groggy I was feeling by taking into account that I only slept for a mere 3 hours!! Had some issues to settle with somebody before I could actually turn in and to make matters worse, it was my second day of the menstrual cycle (on the day we left). Crappy, yeah?

Was pretty much silent while on the coach. Some lady from the SAF offered me a sweet when I plonked onto the seat beside her, but I was too drowsy to chew on dragees then and kinda moody over something. Basically, throughout the 5 hour journey, I was tuning into Chris Daughtry's sexy vocals... and Michelle Branch... and The Click Five... and Britney... and yeah, you get it.

We reached Genting Highlands around noon and it was COLD!!! And certain areas of the road were so misty, you couldn't see nuts!

Many a time, I wished I could experience a "White Christmas" and spend my day out in the snow making snow angels... well, I guess this "Misty Christmas" is as close to a "White Christmas" as it's gonna get (for now).

The entire crew (consisting of more than 60 people) checked into First World Hotel. Nothing fancy schmancy but hey, we're talking about the "World's biggest hotel with 6118 rooms" ok!!! Jade and I had to share a room. I must say, she ain't that bad a roomie... though she irritated the shit out of me that night when I was trying my best to snooze and she kept asking me repeatedly if I wanted a share of cheesy potato wedges.

Did quite alot of shopping on the evening of the day we arrived. Grandma bought me a pair of faded grey skinny jeans and mum got me a black top. I had to be satisfied with retail therapy and retail therapy ONLY because I couldn't go for any of the rides in the theme park (RED ALERT!!!).

Had a pretty good dinner... food was mediocre in my opinion, but the dessert was FANTASTIC!!Mango pudding with real black currants! Ever tried it? You should!!

Sis was the first one to wake up the next day and she decided to take a shower. I heard the sound of water gushing out from the showerhead for quite some time and when she exited from the bathroom, I still heard those sounds. So I asked her, "Oi! Bathe already then you never off the water?". Her reply, "Cannot off! I keep turning the tap but cannot off!".

So she went to the next room to ask my mum for help. Mum came into our bathroom, turned the faulty tap a bit and it FELL OFF!! So water was now gushing out at full-speed! As the both of them shrieked and scrambled out of the bathroom as quickly as they could to avoid getting drenched, I was lying in bed laughing my ass off. WAHAHAHAHA!!! Cause the scenario kinda reminded me of the movie "Titanic".

Yes, we called the Management. And they only came 5 hours later to fix it. Tsktsktsk... precious water all gone to waste.

After breakfast (lovely orange juice), we headed back to our rooms to pack up and leave for Kuala Lumpur; the thought of shopping at Petaling Street just brightened up my spirits.

The hotel in KL was superb! Yet again, I had to be room-mates with my sister. Kinda got into a minor cat-fight over who should have the bed closest to the window but it was resolved the moment we laid eyes on the bathroom. Looking at a bathroom that huge, that modern, that beautifully furnished would make anyone at peace with themselves and others.

We're talking about a gigantic bathtub in the middle, a shower area with a glass door at one side, two sinks, two half-length mirrors, a full-length mirror and a toilet cubicle with it's own door! Yup, it's THAT spacious! So I could go poop in the cubicle while Jade soaks herself in the tub and vice versa without us having to stand the sight of each other. Hahahaha!! Kidding lah! We're not as hostile to each other as we used to be =)

Shopping that evening was HEAVEN. Reminded me of how I once roamed the streets of Chiangmai with Nura. Mum bought me tonnes of stuff... so did Dad! And my maternal Grandmother. Lol! Wouldn't wanna miss out anyone in case I get into trouble! OH, OH!!! Dad bought me a new Liverpool FC poster!! But it's the one for the 2006-2007 season; meaning NO FERNANDO TORRES!!

But no biggie. The confident look of Captain Stevie G. is more than enough to make me smile.





















The guitar's the biggest gift I've ever received in my entire lifespan! Well, it is bigger than the doll-house my parents gave me on my 3rd Christmas. Anyway, it was really unexpected and and thoughtful of you :) Thanks a million! You shall be the first one I play for once I'm done learning.

Ohmyheck, I almost forgot! Another resolution would be to STOP gaining any more weight! Losing and maintaining is fine, but gaining would be a big no-no. This is making me sound bimbotic but heck it lah! It's for my own good! Eversince the holidays, I've been eating fried chicken quite often with numerous people! KFC, Popeye's, Arnold's... I gotta stop! Siti, my dad just took me to Arnold's again on Saturday!!! That's two days after I went there with you!

He was bugging me a few moments ago to join him and my sis for some brisk-walking at Tree-Top but I wasn't too keen on the idea. He then said, "Go lah! Better than jogging so late at night... you jog already but still so fat!".

-_-"

I know, I have the coolest dad in the history of mankind. Gosh, I'm blessed!
