I have a problem sleeping at night when i'm home. This is really strange. I keep feeling that i am running out of time and i have so much to do. Or maybe, I am just missing my pillow and blanket back at my hostel, which I regret I did not bring it home. Sigh. And look at what I am doing now, blogging crappy stuff and thinking above what is needed.
I thought of my grandma when I saw the movie (Back when we were grown up) on Hallmark just now. Memories just flashed back. The scene on how they celebrated their grandfather's 100th birthday and what a jolly good fella he is. I have never met mine. Sometimes I do wonder what kind of person would he be.
My grandma is a petite lady with strong traits. I believe that she would make it big if she had the chance to study back when she was younger. Her cute lil' 'dong shan' slang and jargon she has when she speaks Cantonese will always be remembered. She loves to tend to her garden every morning. I could still remember her daily ritual everyday. Busy as a bee.
Firstly, she will rise as early as 7 a.m. when her ancient alarm clock (those that u need to wind up every night to function) rings. Next, she would spend quite a while grooming herself in the bathroom while sitting on her stool and a plastic basin beside her feet. Then, she will start washing her clothes with the brown soap (cap kapak, that's all i remembered). Purely traditional way. No modern detergent nor washing machine. Next, she would hang her clothes outside on the wire with wooden pegs.
Her garden is her priceless possession. There were all kinds of vegetables and herbs there, till we moved to our new place. It has been cut into half. We used to have a creepy crawly bean plant, sugar cane, 'pegaga', aloe vera, pandan leaf and a few other species that i could not identified the name. Every morning she would pluck off the weeds while sitting on her stool and in the evening she would water them with the leftover water (after washing rice). I don't remember any synthetic fertilizers used but purely fish bones or anchovies scraps. Now the garden is barren. There is only the bean plant that reminds me of her. That makes a delicious soup.
There are a few dishes that she specializes in. The yam cake and 'jin tui' ( some flour balls that is served during CNY, don't know what it is called in English). She could sit for hours as she slowly roll the flour or grate the yam. I love looking at her collection of old coins, some as old as 1915, ancient locks and also some of her embroidery. Its beautiful. As a kid, i used to watch her sew her own clothes and even buttons (made of cloth)!We rarely see those type of buttons these days. She would sit near the main door as she starts her work.
I could write on and on about her. I will just type whatever that crosses my head for now. Being back home can be wonderful but sometimes you are being reminded of so many things. The house never look the same each time I return. So does the town. Attachment equals to suffering.

Getting What You Wish For..What's Next?
Sometimes in life, we wish so hard for something...When we finally get it, what's next? But not for everything in life of course..
I wanted my exams to finish soon because i have so much to do. When it's finally over, i forgot what i wanted to do. Blank. Double blank.
I sat in front of the computer for the past few days, downloading songs non stop for hours without realising the clock was ticking away. Songs that i used to love so much, forgotten as years passed by. It felt so good to be able to hear it again. It also felt so good that i was able to sit in front of the computer to chat, to play games and to surf away without worrying when is the next assignment's due date. No guilt. Practising my pieces without time limit. Singing karaoke without guilt. Shopping and wasting time in Times Square. Just filling up the time of the day. Lazy to blog when i have the free time. Too busy blogging when i have so little time to spare.
I wanted the semester to end fast. Now it has ended. Somehow I miss it. People come and go in your life really fast. This process has speed up for me in the university. One semester equals to four months in Monash but equals to several years for me. The experience is too rich, relationships happens so soon, people click and depart so quickly as well as so much memories has been formed in just four months. Strange but wonderful :D. To those whose path have crossed mine, its been wonderful knowing you and i really appreaciate you.
I wanted to go home so much. So now i am home. What's next? Feeling a lil' bored now. I think what makes Taiping interesting is your family, old friends, memories, childhood and the beauty as well as serenity of this place. Without all these, there is nothing here. Misty hills and trees and moss, haven't seen that for a month already. Nothing has changed much when i took a cab home just now. As we grow older, the less familiar faces can be seen in this town. Back in school, we used to joke about how we would end up in one of those coffee shops or lake gardens in the morning as we yak the rest of our life away when we are old.Most of them have gone to the city or abroad. I wonder if i would see those faces again when i am 70.
We think too much sometimes that we forget to enjoy the present. We focus too much on the ugly side of life that we felt that we are the unluckiest human on earth. There got to be some good and positive bit in the most horrible situation you ever experience. You just have to look closely. The simplest and wonderful things in life are just in front of you. We overlook it because we keep wishing for more and more. We are suffering inside because we amplified the sad side. When we have nothing to wish for anymore, we just go blank when we get what we want. So, keep in mind:
'When one door closes, another door will be open'

Father's Day
This year's father's day was spent in my uncle's place. Dad had dinner with his friends for Father's Day, Mum's in Genting, bro is in college and I am still in KL. I was supposed to be back this Sunday but my dad says there's no need to rush home. So i stayed over in my aunt's place.
Few hours before dinner, we went out to shop for grocerries. Then, we head over to Jusco for certain ingredients that is not available from the grocery store such as smoked cheese, bacon, prawns and few other items.
We had a blast on Sunday, more like a feast, specially prepared for my uncle by both of my cousins. I contributed two very simple dish :). Tuar boiled ABC soup and i cooked Indian curried long beans as well as fried omellete with preserved lettuce and chilli. We are the Asian cooks for the day ..haha.
Next, we present the super chef Sy Yun. She prepared some western style dishes that includes, fried dory fish and chips, prawn with salmon and bacon cheese dip as well as a bowl of salad. It's amazing to see how she work on the garnishing on all the 3 dishes. Serving your food with nice bowls and plates does give a boost to your presentation as well. To complete the meal, we had Baileys, orange juice and screwdriver (Vodka+orange juice). Baileys (choc milk with alcohol) was a wrong choice for such a heavy dinner, we were too bloated to finish it up.
Cooking is fun. Cleaning up is the suckiest part. Tuar and I was having a massive backache after that. Getting old :*( or just lack of exercise :P muahahah!
GOing to keep this post short and sweet! Till then!

Fun Fun Fun
Class finishes on Wed for this week! Yayyy! No PR classs on THurs! So am off to my cousin's place after Andrew's.
Waited for an hour in the foyer, then we went for the famous and delicious pork ball noodle that Wannie is talking about all this while! It's really superb and heavenly!! YUmmmyyyyyyyyyyy! Then, reached back home at 3.30pm..just in time to pack and rush into my Chia Ling's car. Cousin came just right after i got home. Next destination, SUmmit! We walked around the place while we wait for 5.00 pm (Seed of Chucky starts then). The movie was alright, felt like my childhood has came back again...they sencored so many part (pissing off) and i realised that all this while i watched Chucky on VCD. I get to witness all those slashing...somehow that movie seems to be out of time now. It's predictable...too predictable. As usualy, chucky never dies (spoiler bit :P).
Next, we went for dinner in Asian Cafe. Had a great meal there. Fried abalone mushroom (yummy), some spanish rice (taste a bit burnt), cheesebake rice (i was too full for it because it was the last item to reach), satay, dumplings and the 'zhar jiang mian' (looks really delicious and big, should have ordered that. Johnson fetched my cousin and i back to her place. I am stuffed, so was she. We just slept off after hanging out in Sy's room for a while. Yu san was there too that night.
The next day (19th may), we were off to NEway! YAyay..i havent had my karaoke doses for quite some time liao! Chia Ling pops in halfway because she overslept (suppose to work that day). Then, after Neway, i bought a pair of sandals and we met this guy who looks like wu ke qun (cute!). Hahhaha..We hang out in Chia Ling's house after Neway. Her room is really neat, and her aunt's place is really neat and compact (awesome interior)! She made us tiny lil bread with spread (butter, peanut butter). Basically, she stuffed us. We had like 8 slices of it plus coffee and my cousin's rice. Goshh..very stuffed. When we got home to cousins' place, Sy made spaghetti that evening..stuffed again...But it was delicioussssss!
At night, we went out with Uncle Singh. He's a police and he was telling us about all the interesting stories of him , his dad and other topics too. It was a really enlightening night. His dad just passed away (my condolences) and cousin basically asked him out to cheer him up. We were suppose to go for longan milk but we ended up in Genting and liquor. Chatted the whole night, took a tour around the casino too..got back home and slept at 3 am. Too tired to chat ...
Next morning (22nd), piano class at 10! I sounded really rotten this week...ahh..felt so bad again..lack of practice :( I must work harder for the next class! After that, got home just in time for Kingsley practice! Spent some time chatting with Penny while Brian and Sasha was teaching the juniours how to do rock n roll for the performance..ehhehe
Came home and fixed my bloody comp again. I don't know how many times have i reformatted this semester...TIRED! SO TIRED OF REFORMATTING IT!
*breathess**...Such an exhausting weekend..Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Grace is back! A404 reunion!
15th May- Dim Sum for breakfast! Yayyy :D We bump into bei too on that morning! Kl ain't that big afterall, hehehe..So long since i have spoke to her, thanks to those bloody assignments and workload. So we planned for a catch up session the next day. The breakfast was really heavy i think, coz i did not chomp on any food till about 9pm at night. It's amazing how my stomach can last that long before it starts to cry. Eva's mum dropped me back that afternoon.
As usual,got back home i reached for the bathroom to shower and crash to bed after that. Lack of sleep from the night before. When i woke up, Von said that we are going to some Mexican place for dinner with A404 gang. It's been so long since all of use actually hang out together for a dinner, used to be everyday when everyone is stil around. Then, the plan changed to TGI Fridays coz its nearer to Josie's place and so we can fetch her. Everyone was suppose to wear skirt that night, its like a girly night out! It's been long!
The gals present that night was Grace (back from singapore), Seau Yean (long time no see), JOsie, Nithia, Ev, Von, Jeff ( Joker No. 1) and I! Too bad Ayushna din make it that night..if not it would be a full reunion dinner! Had a feast again at night! The food was awesome..finally had my Queso..that would stop my craving for cheese for a while. It's strange, i crave for cheese everytime exam is near or when my assignment is piling up. We had dessert..finally tasted the mudpie (yummyyy! my fav!), then the brownie (its warm and chocolate-ty!) and the sundae (too stuffed to appreciate that).
Jeff was cracking endless jokes that night. He showed us his 'ah beng' way of flipping his panasonic phone. Then, his lawyer stories and all. Nit was resisting food the whole night with bf excuse(Smack! Wake up and be free yourself!Exercise is the best solution!). So good to see everyone actually. Reminiscence of the past, back to where the wild days of A404....We don't need any Einstein time machine to go back in time, just the right company.
Back home in the hostel, we started snapping pictures of ourselves (perasan case)..hehehe Then Zzzzzzz after a whole dose of MTV from my collection..
Grace left the next day early in da' morning..din get to say goodbye also...yikes..Anyway, if ya reading this woman...Do come and visit us again and take care :D!

A Contemplating Saturday
The weather was extremely hot today. I sat at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to KJ Lrt. They took like nearly 50 minutes to reach, I thought i have counted my time wrongly or so. I was suppose to meet Eva at 4pm but ended up half an hour late because of the bus. When, her car came..we head over to the Buddhist Gem Fellowship centre. I was there to support her for her speech competition and i did not know it was organized by a buddhist fellowship. It was nice to revisit this kinda place again, i remember i used to go for dana offering and also dharma talk back in secondary school days. Missed those :D
The place is really clean and neat, reminds me of a Japanese home shrine and also some Zen place..heheh. Incense was consumating the whole place all the time. Peaceful and pleasant. Then, the folks there were busy packing CD for distribution at one corner and the participants were busy rehearsing their speech. I really do admire people who could do nice speeches, something which i haven't really mastered and try out. I remember how i made a fool out of myself in the Interact Club speech during some Leadership training course. *sighh* *embarassing* :P
Then i went scouting around the place, i landed in the books corner. I was really impressed on how the the sales of books were done. Trust Basis. There is a small box that contains money at the side. In order to buy the books there, we just need to fill up the slip and place the amount of money for the books that you intend to buy. It's a self service sales and payment. I got myself '108 Treasures of the Heart' and 3 boxex of incense (rather cheap) and also 2 more books which is free for distribution.
Then, the competition began at 7pm after some refreshment. We were served with vegetarian food. The vegetarian beef ball was delicious :D. Eva's speech was about 'The Greatest Gift of All'. There are a few other stories that i personally liked too by the other participants (One is about her own experience as a monk for 2 weeks, another about a hillarious version of 3 little pigs and others) They have great moral values in every story that goes hand in hand with the motto ' To build a better tomorrow'. Every guest that attend the competition is given a piece of paper to judge the participants. Then, the night ended or perhaps just began?
Eva's parents brought us gals ( eva, elaine and I) for a nice supper (it's more to a dinner) in Souled Out in Hartamas area. It was an awesome place. We had a like fiest, i think her parents are really proud of her taht night. There were a variety of drinks that we tried out ( baileys, wine, macadamia shake and etc.) plus snacks (naan, fried tauhu, satay,chicken wings and etc.). We got back home at 12am. We did not sleep till like 5 am i think. 12-1 was spent gaga-ing over David tao's video and also chatting away. Fixing Eva's comp too, it's so slow (woman u need to defract your comp when is needed before the fragmented files piled up! :P) Then 2am is the David Tao interview and we yak for awhile till we fell asleep at 5am.

End of Assignment Phase 2 (partially)
End of PR assignment (Phew), end of PR presentation and exam (phew)...And finally, figured out my Research Question! ...I was left with this space of emptiness, i think i was too busy for the past 2 weeks and suddenly i just had one more assignment to go...Weirdd...I was walking up and down my cafeteria and foyer, dunno where to head to, like some lost souls..It was thursday, end of class for the week..
Then...i bump into JAsmine, Sandra, Jess, fay and Jenny. They had a plan, and i just went for it. We watched Kingdom of Heaven, took pictures from those ah lian machines, bought a pair of chopstick (nice wood texture) and had dinner at the hostelite dinner. Somehow, when the Thai bazaaar is around in Pyramid...i always have sore throat, thus i failed to taste their tom yam for the 3rd time..Damnn!
My cousin is not around this weekend,they are up in Genting. So i had to go to Bukit Jalil tomorrow from SUnway and without any practices for the week..Felt so bad. Then i was late for my music rehearsal too! I reached at 3.30pm in the physics lab..the rehearsal has just finished! Oopppsss..felt so bad againnn...
Anyway, this weekend will be spent on preparing my Research Proposal presentation...hope everythign goes well!

Go Go Girls!
Today is da' big day! Not for me though, Hahahha..for wannie and EV and suet! We started our journey at 9 am, Joe came and picked us girls up. Firstly, we went for breakfast around Taman Sea area after we picked up Hup Hee (joe's friend. Then, we were all set to go to Times Square. We reached there at 11 am or so. Met Suet and her friend there who came much earlier. She went into a series of naggin that we were late(lack of sleep syndrome as well as no breakfast, sigh). Told her that the plan was to have breakfast like the day before? Anyway, then we were quite early perhaps. The crowd wasn't a lot...but we waited for quite some time for them to be auditioned.
However, there were lunch break at 1.30 pm and the participants are suppose to come back at 2.30pm. Wannie happens to be in the session after the lunch break. Only Suet got in for the real audition.
It was really shocking to know that this is the pre-audition where they see whether you are fit for the real audition. So, my friends did not get to meet the judges but more of meeting the production crew in the pre-audition.
Anyway, it was not a futile attempt, we got like goodies from BP and clean n clear! A whole bag of goodies with sweets and biscuits and soft toy (urk)....
Got home, we just lay dead there....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bad bad week
So glad that the bad luck streak is over, i was so sick after i got back on 1st may. It was a flu gone bad. At first, i was coughing a lot and then the flu kicked in. NExt, there was difficulty in breathing at night, the throat starts to itch everytime i lie down and i will just burst into cough suddenly in the middle of the night. On thursday, i couldnt take it anymore, it was unbearable to go on with my condition. The flu does not seem to heal and my face looks really pale. I went straight to the doc. My medication cost me RM 53! Ahhhh..1 antibiotic and the 4 other kind for flu and bla bla.
I just slept off after the first dose, woke up feeling dizzy and weak. I realise it was the lack of food intake before the medication. I nearly fainted in the toilet because of that. hehehee..Anyway, the next day was all better, but not better enough to join my wacky friends to 'buat lawak' in the Malaysian Idol audition.Saturday 7th may) came, my comp crashed and i had to reformat it again. Thank god i manage to move my PR assignment in time, if not it will be all gone gone gone!

CLOSING DOWN
There are thoughts to shut down this blog, but it is still under consideration...hmmmm ... What do you think?
Anyway, 'My Mind's Drama' (http://liyien.blogspot.com) will be still around. That would be updated more often. So head over there first before you drop by here to see if there is any updates ;P
This semester have been weird, i have never felt so busy for the last 3 semester. One assignment after another...haven't got the time for myself. At least to think or enjoy a nice day without having to worry for the next assignment. I guess i'm just being a panic queen all the time

Bloody Pickpocket
Well well! ATTENTION EVERYONE! My handphone got pickpocketed last weekend, on the 29th of April! So dun try calling my old number 0124178048...U can if you want, can either try bugging the barger who stole it from me or enter my voicemail..
Pudu bus station..To those who are not familiar with it, do read carefully:
It is the worst place to be but that is the only place to go home, unless if you do plan to take the plane. It's hot, stuffy, filled with weird people, pickpockets, dirty, smokey and packed. This is the place where you will meet lots of rudee and very rude malaysians. They either knock you without and apology or steal your stuff when you are least not aware.
BEWARE 1: WAlk really fast to where you are heading when you are
there
BEWARE 2: Be alert at all times!
BEWARE 3: NO hanging on the phone while walking
BEWARE 4: Just get the hell out of that place as soon as possible!!
Oh one more thing, those strings that hang out of your handphone, make sure they are ALL and NEATLY tucked insidee yoru pocket or bag, orr..u will risk your handphone being stolen, just like mine. It's so sad that we have a really beautiful airport in KL but the worst bus stop in KL! Taiping might be small, but they have a better bus station than that! WaAyy cleanerr...don't believe me? take a bus down and see for yourself :D

I HATE MALAYSIA'S TAXI MAN!
I hate malaysia's taxi man! All this while i thought i was living in a rather peaceful and harmony country, despite some racism here and there. I can't believe that i have my first taste of racism today!
My cousins and i was waiting for a taxi in front of Lot 10 after our shopping trip. It was 10 pm then. When the queue finally reach our turn, we were more and enthusiasted to see a taxi swirling in from the corner. However, the bloody Malay taximan, drove pass us and fetched the bunch of Malay teenagers in front of us!! Can you tell me where does justice live in this world?
Well, fine...that's not the end of our angry mode. Finally, the next taxi stopped in front of us. We went into the car. Guess what was the first thing he said to us? 'You gals are heavy and fat...one of you gals should be sitting in front. Ya see my taxi has leaned towards the left side. Unless you are thin like me then it should be fine'. Then he went on ranting about our 'heaviness'...and next how he hated the bumpy malaysian road which is filled with hole here and there.
Yeah..first of all, i think i should be complaining about how bad the condition of his taxi. My cousin commented that perhaps his car tyre need some more air and i think that he is way too scrony and he need to be fatter to balance out the car weight.
Too bad, we did not dare to fight back verbally, what if he drives us off somewhere and besides its late at night. (knowing that all the rape cases that have been happening around that involves a taxi).
Well, i just have some advice for all those taxi fella:
1) Don't drive a taxi if you hate your job.
2) There is no need to let your anger or your 'bad day at work' on us !! (the customer)...we are paying you remember?!?
3)If you are in China, i will file you in to the customer complaint and your license will be hang! Hah!

Not my Cup of Tea
I've been asked to club all this while, somehow i never seem to end up there. Today, finally i have to face my delayed promise. Zouk, that's where people never sleeps after midnight, dance and puff all night, puff weeds or just be bitches or poser there...Wannabes who holds a cigarrette just to look cool but do not puff it at all...
Maybe the government anti-smoking concept should shift to 'holding a cigarrette for coolness' in their advertisement instead of asking them to stop smoking. Then maybe the cigarrette companies sales will improve and people will stop puffing, but holds it in between their fingers only..
I have been given a rude awakening there...I do not understand how people can be so rude. Girls just bump into you like you don't exist. I nearly topple over when one bitch runs over me, and also another one later in the morning. Where have their receptor cells or maybe eyes went, or perhaps they have lost their tongue to even apologize...
Neet's toes got stomp by a guy with shoes without an apology. The nail is half attached and it is bleeding. Ouchh!
Well, i will never know....
The place looks like a Flinstone house, all white and nicely lighted up, colourful lightst illuminate the white walls, minus the posers in the background...hahah RnB music for that night and it's ladies nights. Somehow the music doesn't catch my nerve...and i'm a bad dancer....i can't dance! SEriousss! i can't!! eventhough i might be musically incline...LOL
It's not a bad experience, kinda have fun with great companies around. Girls shaking their booty and dancing to the rhythm. Laughing at posers. Bitching bout girls and guys there. Hahhaaha :D
I still personally prefer going to a pub to drink and have a quality chat while listening to a live band playing. At one split moment, i felt that i am too old for clubbing. Maybe there isn't an age limit, but more on personal interest and preferences.
The fun ends at 3 am as we head over to the mamak stalls. Neets toe is still aching. Things seems great when our roti telur, tosai telur, milo, teh tarik halia and teh tarik came....A feasttt in the wee hours

Uni has started, My brains haven't
It's been a whole 3 months since i need to memorize any alphabets or words, only notes. Those are relaxing and it kind of sticks in your head after a while. Finally got my readers, every single one of it, it's thick and just indescribable...
Sometimes i wonder i have got myself with the memory loss diseases...i am so forgetful lately, i am blur and my speech is distorted. I can't speak a English sentence properly, without mixing it up or getting the fragments wrong. Darnn! I think my brain have been rusted for so long.
I had my first day of class on Mon (28th Feb), the new lecturer started lecturing and giving tutorial on the day itself, not forgetting an essay for me to hand up the following monday! Darnn! The whole week haven't been all that bad, i had a great 'lepaking' time. It's as though i haven't been back in KL for a long time. Wannie brought me to nice places for dinner! Awesomee..i really apprecitate that woman! :D So i'm getting nice food for dinner so far. On wed, i am in Wan Utama...i am not suppose to shop but somehow i got myself a pair of sandals, nice purple one. I saw hide and seek as well, expected ghost but there is twist there, reminds me of 'The Village' but nothing similar to that movie though.
So on Thurs, planned to go to Zouk but before that, i went to Sg wang with Suet. She was shopping like there is no tomorrow, i enjoy tagging along. My eyes can't stop browsing for goods in the shops which i have never stepped in before. Maybe i just don't remember, every corner in Sg WAng looks the same. With exception, the Famous Amos, Chambers Music, Esquire Kitchen and the Lingerie, Vincci...somehow i still remember where these few shops are located. The other are just mere blurry images.
I got back to my hostel at 5pm, just in time for my economic rice from the convenient shop! My favourite fried chicken *hehehehhee** :D

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...
