Slumber at Bei's place

This post was suppose to be up much earlier. HOwever, my dearest brother accidently close my browser while i ran downstairs to have breakfast! Arrrgghh....i still remembered how pissed off i was..hahah. Anyway, i still remember what happen on that weekend!

So after lunch with Bei, we went back to her place. This is my first time in her house. She's got all her pink and cow influence in her bedroom. Her furniture are wood (brown), i guess if she has a choice, her whole room will look like the Reese Witherspoon's room in Legally Blonde. I was really impressed by her amazing collection of classical music :) Thank woman for the classical CD you have burnt for me! I was really tired that day cause i did not sleep the whole night after the Chinese New Year session which ended at 5 am, i only had a few hours of sleep. I just slept off on her bed for an hour withour realising. Then, it was time to dress up for the night and we went out to collect food. When we got back, its party time!

I think this is the most formal birthday party i have ever had..heheh.We had proper dining seat, with nice napkins and food are placed in the middle of the table. We had satays, roast beef, lasagna and pizza form pizza uno, salad and a few more other item. Wine and champagne as well. Then, there was a short speech by Bei and from all the guest to her as well. Feeling a bit warm from the wine, it was time to blow the cake and presents opening! Finally, there was Bei's superb piano performance after much persuasion from all of us present there! ehhehe

Everyone left,we helped her mum to clean up the stuff and tables. Then, i had my private piano lessons with Bei ( i think u make a fine teacher) She gave me a few tips on my finger shapes, arm movement, key touch and bla bla! Definitely enlightening! At night, we had our girly session..hopefully we did not wake up her aunty who is sleeping next door withh all the giggles..ehehe :P Think we slept at 5 something...

Next morning, we were just hanging around the house and going through all her Cds. Then, we went over to her Ah Ko;s place which is near Wan Utama. It's a very cool house, love the floor work! IT's all wood, not parquet type..but smooth ones like those in japanese houses. The interior was really nice. Then, back home and we chatted through the night...I went back to my hostel the following morning to wait for my parents. They were suppose to be down and we were suppose to visit my aunt! Another eating session ahead :) *grinss* IT's a very blessed new year..Blessed with great company and food :D

Zombie me!

Third day, i think i woke up at 12 pm again, i was nearly late for my house visiting session. Suppose to pick up Franny and reach wan's house at 1pm. So, we went from Wan's house to Wei Xiang to Lan Eng to Justin to Jee's and the last stop is Vonnie. Not the last stop for wan and i , we decided to drop Chang Jeh a visit as well. I only reached home at around 8 pm, just in time for my steamboat dinner. Then i zoomed out to Wannie's house. We hang out in the mamak place till like 12 midnight. Bumped into Swee Kheng and Chandu is back from Penang to join us. Somehow, we had another TOD session. I had to end it early though coz i haven't even pack for KL yet! Ah..so much to do, that includes stuff which i need to move to the hostel. They left at 5 am, i packed till 6 am, my bus is at 8.30am...i did not sleep at all for the whole night...that' is record breaking mann....

So i had my breakfast at 7 something in the morning and then i'm off to board the bus to KL. Slept through the whole journey, only 3 hours of sleep i had. Then finally i reach KL in the afternoon, just in time to meet bei for lunch. Today is the party night in her place! Yayyyy! I'm still amazed at how i can stay awake without sleeping..ahhahaa

To me, this only happens once a year...To hell with it! hahhaha...Moments are forever and will never return to the same spot :D

Chinese New Year

Life have never seem greater this time around. I am out all day till i could not even remember which day i'm in, whether it is night or day, what time am i suppose to sleep? It was just loads of fun during the new year. For the past 2 months, all i see everyday is my four walls, looking out of my car window and my piano keys. Finally, i am interacting with humans again :) All my friends are back in town. Taiping can be a ghostly town for me when there is nobody around. I felt as if i have just isolated myself from the world.

So my life begins to have some colours on the 7th of February, my old pals are all back from everywhere except for Su Ann, Joy and Wyn Nee, which are currently abroad. The part has already began even before the lunar new year begins. The 30th night of the lunar calendar, there were a big gathering with everybody. The list include, wan, geraldine, Theng, neet, jee, ling, vonnie, wan kong, Justin, chang jeh and a couple more. They came over my place to gamble in fact, however we just ended up chatting away and then we went over to lot 10 or A. rahman to yam cha. Ah, can't remember which place i ended up in. For4 consecutive days i have been like rotating between both mamak shops. The rest of the chinese coffee shops are closed on chinese new year day usually. This is where we will bump into ppl which you have never seen for ages, this includes old school mates.

Then, on the next day, they crash over my place for the night. In fact, it was a spontaneous plan. We were like playing Truth or Dare till like 8 am the next day? I think we started at about 1 something in the morning after our 'yam cha' session. It all begins from our mamak session in Lot10, we were feeling a bit crack i think. We started to come out with funny dares to be done by everyone in the mamak place (packed with people). I volunteered to be the 'chicken of the year 2005'. I just hate doing dare stuff..ahahah, but i enjoy being a spectator. So, the first dare was that Frances have to move one of the flower pots from one spot to another spot, Justin have to sit like in the middle of nowhere, beside the longkang and wave at us, Wan Kong and his kissing the pole stunts, Von and her butt shaking in front of the verandah and so onn for Neet and wannie. Ahh....i seriously have no guts for those stunts...ahaha. However, they finally succeeded to dare me to do something. I think i dared myself more like it, coz i refuse everything they said. (what u expect from chicken of the year). So, i had like 5 puff from a cigarette. Sampoerna menthol if i'm not wrong. It tasted sweet at first, then the mint taste comes in and then i hate the taste after that. Ahh....so much for the experience...yucky :P

This leads on to the TOD session later in the night. On the second day, things were much more peaceful. I had my wonderful sleep till like 1 in the afternnon. Dizzy and disorientated from the lack of sleep. We did not do much for the night, just yam cha and then they just chilled in my house till 2 am. Served them Vodka and lime. Neet's little 9 year old sister was admitted to the hospital because her feet got trapped behind the motorcycle wheels. Ouchh! HOpe she will be well again soon.

It's Februaryy!

How time flies! I can't believe my eyes...In less than a week i have to decide or rather my teacher have to decide whether i am fit to take the piano exams this May/June. Some pieces are still not up to the standard yet, still a bit stress on it. I will work hard towards it no matter what. PRactice with ears and brains, not with duration! that's what my teacher says...

My mum is busy baking cookies and prepariong for Chinese New Year, it's just six days a week! I'm rather excited this time, all my friends are coming back, except for su :( This is the time each year where we get to meet up with everyone and bump into people which you haven't seen for ages. It's really strange that after high school, all your school mates just disappeared without a trace. Only those, which you hang out the most, you get to see most often.

Today, i feel lethargic. It's just weird that my body felt so not energetic and weak. Bones aching too, i can't even sit in front of the piano for long. So i have to take a break tonight....Maybe it's the rain...

Signing off now...
