a different morning

2007-08-16T00:20:00.000-07:00

A Different Morning...
This morning is like no other ordinary morning. Yes, I did wake up in a small cube that I have been calling home for the pass 6 months.. wow.. 6 months! That is long.. yes, I still shiver in the morning from the winter’s cold morning. BUT there is just something really different about it. Until now, 530pm, I feel different! As I lay in my toasty bed under my comforter that has been ever so useful in winters, I sniff the air through my horrendous flu and it smells different too! I really just can’t put my finger on to it. When 8am hit, my ipod started playin rock music, it works really well to get me up. The whole different ambience along with the hypnotic thudding from the bass, sent me back to the past when I was in my primary school life. Immediately remembering the times when the gang and I played basketball, waiting for our drivers outside school, all the ‘I hate girls’ talk, all the chasing around in the field.. a sigh of relief, ‘freedom’ , ‘joyous’ , ‘carefree’ and ‘tranquility’ the feelings I have when I was thinkin about it. This is exactly what I need right now. Arh… finally in years! I have not woke up on the right side of bed, I finally have. And it feels great!
Went to uni and I’m this different upbeat guy with a flu. Haha. Feeling so cheerful, I just want everyone around to be HAPPY!! J I bought my friend a lunch cause she had to sit out in the cold doing some duty. Couldn’t let her starve now can i. haha. I love this feeling! But what is it?!??! Its amazing!??! I’m like a totally different person.. amidst the flu, I suddenly smelled freshly cut grass, ohhh.. I suddenly feel as if I’m out in the wide open fields in the mountains.
This is not any random bullshit I’m typing.. this IS what I’m feeling.. and yet, I still can’t put my finger on what this feeling really is.. is it the feeling of being sick? Cause it’s been a long time since I had flu. Haha.. I dunno, dun really care.. I hope it stays..

CHEERS EVERYONE!!!!
Sam.

the moth

2007-07-25T09:05:00.000-07:00

THE MOTH…
‘hey sam! Look!!’ the few of us in Keith’s (my apartment mate) room stared at the moth that flew gracefully into the room. A moment of silence from everyone staring at it… deep down, everyone knew I needed it and they knew what it meant. Never has a moth flew into our apartments before cause our windows have nets. This is no ordinary moth…(a symbolic sign)

Exactly 8 days ago when the same gang was I my room chatting, while I was making milo for everyone one of them on the cold winter’s day, I suddenly felt a chill and suddenly missed my home so much! Not just that… missed my grandpa!!

The next day, 7 days before the moth flew in,I received a call from my mom in the afternoon while I was doing my work. A low and solemn voice came from my mom, ‘son , how are you doing?’ immediately I knew something isn’t right. Then my mom told me ‘ gong passed away last night!!’ an impulse shot through my spine causing giving me cold sweat and heart beated faster! And in disbelief and shock, I didn’t know what to say. A hard gulp and I asked if she’s serious, hoping for the thinnest of hope that she is. But it was not to be. She consoled me that he went peacefully in his sleep and he loved us all and he had a good life.. tears started rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. In my mind, I’m telling myself, HOW CAN THIS BE!!! I don’t wanna believe it!! Sigh.. all the memories of him flashed through my mind..times when he carried my sis n I up and let us touch the coconut tree, the time I went to China with him.. I miss him so much!!

I was so desperate to go back but I couldn’t cause it’s too costly and I had to continue with my studies.. it made everything far worse for me. Haih. I thank zoe for being there for me for days. I spent 2 days and nights crying!! Ego aside, I really cried so much!! Till I thought to myself, he would want us to be happy and strong. That’s him.. I know him. And in a few deep breaths, I sucked it all in and stopped. I prayed that the Gods will take good care of him. Haha.. in fact, I think that he is the one taking care of the Gods. Haha.. knowing him.

Gong, you’ll forever remain in our hearts!! We love you always!! You made us who we are today!! You’re a highly respected man, caring, steadfast, disciplined, oh so generous and last but not least stubborn! Haha.. yes stubborn.. I used to hate it. But I will do anything to have some of that stubbornness from him..he lives his life in his own principles and that is what made him so special and irreplaceable!! At the age of 82, body solid from years of living he can still ran about, taking the dogs out for walks everyday, jog to neighbour’s house to greet them, grocery shopping.. he IS a survivor.. I’m the one that is suppose to take care of him, but often it’s the other way round.

I left the room and the moth followed me back into my room, I talked to it as if I’m talkin to him in my heart. He stayed and made sure I was ok before leaving a few days later without a trace.
~Forever Love~

Few days back a colleague of mine from work asked me if i wanted to go to hospital out of the blue n i was like.. Huh?? what? haha.. then he explained that his friends also from work found a haunted hospital in cheras where they say that the doors inside closes n opens by ITSELF!! haha.. how cool is tat?? so of course i said yes n i dragged Gein into it as well. haha.. so after my shift that ends at 12, i went bk home to get flashlights and then met up with the gang before setting off, when we go there, our hearts started thumping real hard thinkin what the heck is goin to happen and all but there was a guard there that night and so we couldn't get it.. then the gang decided to highland towers in ampang where a Condo came down during a landslide killing 50+ ppl, n i was kinda releived bout goin there cz i was having second thoughts bout goin to the hospital BUT then.. they decided to give the hospital another try.. haha.. i knew how we are goin in. thats by sneaking into the compund.. how?? i wasn't sure yet till we walked up to a foresty area and we started trekking through mud n bushes and trees.. really cool.. to be jungle trekking at 2.00 am in the morning!!!
*thats all we could see at night.. haha.. thats Gein with the finger*
then we sneaked pass the guards and we were still pushing our way through the forest and we hit a dead end so we had to go back and find another way.. then all of a sudden from a distance we flashlight turned on and there was a guard shouting at us, the group of 12 just froze! we dinno wat to do then one of my fwens starting making a run for it.. so the whole group did too. haha.. we ran all the way bk to where we came in from as fast as we could!! we kept laughing n at the same time scared shitless and we got to our car finally and we calmed down..we took our time gettin into our car and leave.. and while we were leaving, a police car came in and shone the search lights at us, and we jz sped off like JUVENILES!!! OMG!! iv never felt this Juve before!! haha.. was so fun!! the adrenaline pumping...really hard to describe...
the gang wasn't satisfied.. AT ALL!! so we went to ampang in search of the condo.. when we got there, it was SsSSOOooO earie man.. looking at the remaining two condos from far, it looks so *looks a hell lot like BLOOD!!! i wonder...*
*we were walking up in the condo.. *
DARK and DeaD!!! my hair stood up IMMEDIATELY!! sending a chill down my spine i held it together and we tresspassed and went INTO the condos, we went up a few floors but there wasn't anything interesting up there so we left eventually..
haha.. my day was over, i had to go bk n get some sleep cz i was working in the morning, it was already around 4.. sigh.. but they went to a house in puchong where it is ALSO haunted, haha. they scared the living daylights out of my fwen.. hehe.. they messed around with him. haha.. poor dude.. well, the highlight of the evening for me will hafta be the running away from the authorities.. hehe.. memorable event NUMBER 1!!

Kijal - Kluang Trip 2006

2006-12-30T21:21:00.000-08:00

Kijal - Kluang Trip 2006
1st Day (Monday)
We set off to Kijal, Terengganu at 930 am leaving our 2 beloved dogs behind under he care of our trusted driver, uncle Sam..it’s a long and boring 5 hours ride there, we took our time getting there..
When we got there, dad immediately checked out some fishing spots nearby and at one of the jetty’s there were people selling crabs and so my mom bought a few for dinner.. *yum yum* then we went to our apartment bringin bk old memories of when I was here with my friends..miss them so much!! Especially Elaine!! Hehe..Gein, I dun miss u cz I see u almost everyday.. Haha..
We settled down and parents had a deserving rest after that long drive while sis n I went and played football with the local kids next door.. They trashed us.. Haha..
We got back after the 5-4 defeated just in time to see mom prepare dinner. Have a look for urself..
*earthquake in taiwan has disrupted youtube services so ul hafta wait for the video.. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!*
* BEWARN - PARENTAL SUPERVISION IS ADVISED *
Dinner was splendid!! Mom really knows how to cook!! Sis n I sat on the floor using the chopin knife to break open the shells to reach the meat.. haha.. It is so fresh!! Yum yum..
After dinner, we went to the beach for a walk, it’s monsoon season now so the waves AS expected, was 10 feet high just like when I was here last time. So that meant no swimming for us.. Boo hoo.. The wind was strong water droplets was constantly hitting our faces.. We didn’t stay long.. I saw a group of friends there, that really brought back memories!!

- happening elsewhere * flood starts in Segamat *

2nd Day (Tuesday)
*a pic of us at the jetty with gushing winds n massive waves*
Today, our plan is mainly FISHING!! Hehe.. Dad is having a bad fever now.. For months d.. it’s a very contagious fever.. Fever to FISH! Haha.. He passed it to my mom.. She is always accompanying my dad whenever he goes fishing..I be they do more than fishing. Hehe.. They come bk at 1 sometimes 2 in the morning k? I stay up till they get bk to make sure they are alright.. Haha.. Now I know how to feel when I come bk home at 3 or 4 in th morning. Hehe..
We went to a nearby jetty where we bought the crabs from the day before to fish and after awhile, my dad caught an eel!! Ikan belut I think.. I estimated it was around one feet long.. First time catching one for us. Hehe.. After lunch, we got bored of that place and so we wanted to change place and so we went further up north to Temasik, it’s a realy romantic hotspot for the locals, there are so many ‘parked’ cars.. If u noe wat I mean.. hehe.. I can understand why, ocean view, sea breeze and a magnificent ambience there.. Of course it’s romantic.. Wanna bring my b there when we grow old together.. Haha..
*my parents are so romantic!! hehe.. *
*sis n i camwhoring.. check out the wave at the background.. perfect timing*
Mom caught a small fishy!! Sis n I pleaded to my dad to free it and so he did.. But dad was suppose to through it back into the water but he missed and it landed on the grass so I went to help it.. While helping it, it struggled a little and it poked my thumb with it’s fin and it started bleeding!! I was so pissed!! But I still saved it.. But i doubt it survived.. Later dad caught another one of the same sort.. Small too.. And he let it go..
On the way back we bought some fishes from the market for dinner and I learnt how to cook it from mom.. It was again DELICIOIUS!!

-happening elsewhere * flood worsens in Segamat *

3rd Day (Wednesday)
We woke up early cause sis n I wanna go to the Jacuzzi at the hotel.. We braved the down pour to get to the hotel but was disappointed to find out that the shower provide hotter water than the Jacuzzi.. Haha.. We went to play at the beach too .. But was shoo-ed away buy the lifeguard, I should stress that it’s a guy in his 50s weighing around 180kg.. And not a hot 30 year old chick like we see in baywatch.. Haha.. Wat a turn off.. :P just saying k b?? hehe.. U still my number one!! Haha..
We were suppose to go fishing after lunch but the whole family suddenly got hooked on watching Coach Carter on astro.. Haha.. So we left later in the afternoon.. It was a fruitless day for us.. Haha.. Sobsob.. Well.. My dad always say.. If we lose, we lose nothing but If the fish loses, it loses it’s life.. Haha.. Oh so true..
We ate out today because it was already really late when we packed up..

4th day (Thursday)
*something i saw by the road.. Malaysia Boleh huh.. sigh... *
We are to leave for our hometown in kluang today,. After we collected our laundry from the launrette, we took off. Stopping by places to buy stuff or look at people fish by the road side.. Oh.. It was raining the WHOLE DAY!!! Everywhere is flooded, and we heard from people that it was flooded in segamat.. The worse affected place in Malaysia.. Dad was thinking if we should head back to KL first then only go kluang the day after or go straight back hometown through segamat.. Haha.. For the sane family, the answer would be clear by now, but sis n I wanted to have some ADVENTURE and so dad made a decision to head towards the one place that everyone is dying to get out off.. Haha.. We didn’t know how severe it was until we got there.. Once we got to the town, we were all starving d so we kept looking for a place to eat but all was closed so we were being really ignorant bout the severity of the situation, we all thought that the flood had passed but till we got to the lower part of town did we know how serious it was.. The train tracks was literally swept out of place, cars, lorries, bikes all thrown around, cars stalled everywhere, trucks lying on their sides, some in drains, some in the river, some upside down.. We told the locals that we saw a lot of cars half submerged in water.. And they gave a really good answer, ‘ there are more that you don’t see.. They are IN the water..’ haha.. Mom and I kept laughin at the response.. Haha..*the pic tat was in newspaper nationwide..whee!!! i got it.. haha.. poor dude*
*cars are meant to be ON the road!!*
*boats are meant to be IN the water.. HELLO!!!*
Have you watched Twister the movie?? I now know wat it feels to be driving through a place that was just torn apart by a natural disaster.. It’s not a pretty site. People walking around feeling hopeless and lost, all their belongings destroyed. Sigh.. If only I can help..
It wasn’t all bad for the residents, there were lots of ppl fishing on the ROAD!! Haha.. They were casting nets and let me tell u, there were lots of fish man. Haha.. We were suppose to pass a certain road but it was flooded about 2 feet high.. Dad was thinking if he shud try out mom’s car.. Haha.. To me, I think we wud hv made it, but dad chickened out.. So we decided to go bk from where we came from.. BUT it was flooded as well.. Haha.. Ok.. I mite be laughing now but that time I was quite worried. Haha.. We asked a few ppl if there are other ways to get out, we tried, BUT again, they were all flooded!! Oh my gosh! We were surrounded by water water and more water!! Sharks.. Then we asked this guy and he told us that the kenyir damn cracked and lots of water is coming down and he said to my dad ‘ aiya, you dunit to go anywhere d la, ul be here for 4 to 5 days!!’ my dad n I gave a look.. And that was a blank n shocked look.. Dad was really worried.. Sis kept buggin him to get to higher ground.. N we tried road after road but no luck..
It was then dinenr time and we found a place to eat, because during a disaster like this, the water supply has been cut and certain places electricity as well.. So the restaurant had no water supply so they improvised and used what they have most.. RAIN WATER!! Haha.. They use that to cook rice and wash plates.. Haha.. I pretended that I was wrong.. :P mom and dad called their relatives to tell them bout the situation and they all laughed at us because they told us not to go there but we din listen.. Haha.. dad also called his brother to ask for help because he used to work around this area.. And after a while, he phoned back and said that we should leave as soon as we finish our dinner and head towards batu anam to find his friend, we can find shelter there.. Or so we thought.. But when we got there, a guy showed up and gave us a map, of how to get out of that place.. EVEN BETTER!! Haha.. He made it quite clear to us tat there was no flood around there and if they do, we can always head bk to find him.. Haha.. We had to make a long detour due to a broken bridge.. Hohoho.. ADVENTURE is what we got.. Haha..
Braving heavy rain and poor visibility we made it out of that place and we passed by a few other states to get to kluang. Haha.. Sis counted that we passed through around 10 states in total!! Haha.. This is what I call cuti-cuti Malaysia.. Haha.. We reached out hometown 12 in the morning, we’ve been in the car for more than 12 hours!! OMG!!

THIS is definitely the highlight of the trip.. And something to tell my kids about.. Haha..

the rest of the trip was with family.. bonding sessions all the time.. hehe.. i finally got to collect my iPod!! yeah!!! there was a flood near my hometown as well and a fish farm had overflowed and 5 tonnes of fishes swam out and villagers everywhere went there to SCOOP them up from the road!! tats how easy it was!! OMG!! then they were selling it rite by the road!!.. there were also ppl tat laid out fish nets in the oil palm plantation!! haha.. really funny to think bout it.. hehe..*a rare sight indeed.. someone missing a bumper??*
sis looks cute.. hehe.. tats me cousin
*the grandkids*

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
12/12/2006 marks OUR ( Zoe n I ) 1 year anniversary!! Our story is Amazing!!! Full of ups and downs, and when I say downs, I MEAN downs.. We actually broke up for a while when she was in china.. Things got really shitty then.. BUT.. Now I choose to say bout the sweet memories that has passed.. Things that others might not feel is sweet, but I do.. Hehe..

ZOE~ someone I fell in love with.. I remember the first time we really noticed each other.. I was somehow lyin on her lap outside a lecture hall in HELP.. And then we went to 1U where I sat in her car.. We chat the whole way there and I found out a lot about her.. Oh.. That was on Jon’s birthday actually.. Hehe.. I did feel something in the car.. But said nothing.. Our feelings grew and grew, she raised me up when I was down, took care of me when I was sick, she made porridge for me to eat one time when I had fever or flu.. Hehe.. Really sweet of her.. She had faith in me.. She has always been by my side..

If my memory serves me, the first time I let her know bout my feelings was when I was drunk at her house!! Hehe.. Guess drunken fools speaks nothing but the truth.. I was pushing everyone away and saying tat she’s mine.. Haha.. Well. that’s wat others told me.. I slept at her place that night.. Hehe.. Awww.. I miss it so much!!

On the night of 12/12/2005, we were in my car at the park outside her house and that was when I popped the question.. And we all know what was her answer.. I slowly crept over and gave her a peck on the lips. Normally I wouldn’t do so to a girl that just became my girlfriend but she was leaving for South Africa the next day so I wanted to make her miss me more!! Hehe.. Sadistic bf hey?? haha.. i guess some of you could hv guessed already, we keep our rel really low profile.. hehe.. not many know bout us.. not even now.. hehe.. doesn't mean you are not a good fwen k?? hehe.. we jz dun wanna tell.. until now i guess.. We started our rel started far away.. And now, she is thousand of miles away in Australia furthering her studies.. But its ok.. We know that we’ve made it so far and we also know that this has only strengthen our relationship..

Bk when we were in College, we would meet up in Hock Lee’s every Thursday morning because we had early classes.. I’m always early so I had to wait for at least an hour for her to arrive.. Then only will I start ordering.. That’s really sweet. Haha.. I’ve treated her to Shogun a few times d.. the first was on valentines day and when we entered, the waitress gave her a rose. Haha. Very romantic!! And we sat n ate n chat for a long time. The second time was during our exams.. Remember?? I brought u there to eat while study. And we finally got kicked out because they hafta close. Haha. On Valentines day, she gave me a really wonderful gift and I still can remember what she wore that day.. Muah!! Love u..

Our rel took a deep plunge when she left for china, that was our first time being away from each other for so long and feelings faded, well, mine did.. Not hers.. Sorry b.. n we broke up for quite some time.. I’m sorry to leave u alone there.. it was a roller coaster ride from then on.. It was really on and off for us.. Our past mistakes caught up to us and gave another big blow to the relationship again.. Hmm.. But we did manage to get past that.. Thankful for that.. whats important now is that I HAVE HER!! and SHE HAS ME!!

There are people that said that we wont last, but there are also those that believed in us.. Guess we cant say for sure now, it is only the first year.. Hehe.. Will there be more to come?? I do hope that there will be more fun filled years ahead as I’l soon be reuniting with her in Australia and furthering our studies there.. It’s going to be awesome!! I can’t wait!! Can’t blame me to think bout the countless tings we can do there.. All the independence!! And freedom!! But again, studies comes first.. Right? Hehe.. Please come bk quick dear…

Last but not least, I wanna say, Happy 1 Year Anniversary to you B!!! muah!!

National Junior Circuit 2006 ( Perak, Ipoh 5/12- 8/12)

This is the Third Junior circuit this year and of course the last, but this is the first I’ve participated ever! The KL team is as lively as ever.. Hehe.. We set off from KLGCC in the morning of 5/12.. It was a slow 2 and a half hours bus ride there.. Kinda boring really.. And it was worse without our one and only Amir.. Hehe.. Goin bk to Ipoh brought bk lots of memories for me. Bittersweet memories..

We are stayin in the Asrama MSN Perak or Hostel for athletes..I think.. Hehe.. MSN means Majlis Sukan Negara, really lazy to translate tat.. Hahah.. But in a dorm that can hold over 50 athletes is where we will be spending 3 nights..it’s all double decker bunks and so I chose the top one immediately. Feels cooler.. Haha.. We settled down and the living condition there is not bad at all really.. Hehe. No complaints.. Most of my friends said that the previous Junior Circuit in Malacca was far worse!! Hehe.. Poor them..

We walked out to the famous food court outside the stadium for lunch before heading bk for some training. I m so in need of trainin.. Hv not had one for 6 months plus now, since SUKMA.. Hehe.. Partly cause it’s really costly.. The first night there was terrible!! It was so cold!! And my coach slept under my bed and he snores really really loud!! So it was really hard for me to sleep. I did eventually sleep but by then it was already 530!!! I was pretty fucked up tat night.. N the whole of nx day I had no mood at all. I wanted to go home n I din wanna stay there n fence. I just lost all the mood I had.. It was also due to something else too.. But.. I tot to myself.. Y shud I be down because of tat?? So I cheered up by not thinking that I’m in ipoh but instead just another fencing competition..I really enjoyed my time wif the kids.. Oh before forget.. You cant possibly imagine the things I had to go through with the kids.. Though they arent really kids, I jz wanna call them tat.. Haha. They are fencers too.. When I wanted to take a nap, I was awaken by a few of them making loud noises n I saw them acting n my other fwen filming, they did short magic clips like ‘Magical Nipple’- where they rub two cards on two diff nipples n after tat they switch places, ‘Magical Armpit’ - where they put a broken sword into their armpits n they pull it out its BRAND NEW!!! Swt.. And ‘ The Naked Bandit!’ I dunno wat this is about.. But I saw one of them askin another person who he is and he replied ‘ I’m the naked bandit’ while rubbing his nipples.. Haha.. Kids nowadays.. Wats wrong with them? Hehe.. But they are still so amusing!! I really got along with a few of them.. On the first night there, jess broke her slippers so I accompanied her to get her a new pair of slippers from ipoh parade.. We search desperately for a cab n she kept whining bout y is there no cab and bla bla bla..

On the 6/12 is the UNDER-15 category so I supported my teammates.. And that day, we ( Wilayah Persekutuan ) won 2 Bronzes.. And on this day, Amir, alex and Howard came to join the team, they came here wif Auntie Kar’s car.. Hehe.. She is a mother of one of the fencers, Athia and Dhania.. They are young but good!! And they jz started!! Haha.. Mr. Mok sure coached them well..

things the boys do in the dorm.. haha..

On the 7/12 is the UNDER-17 category and again I supported my teammates, screaming and cheering them on and we manage to win a Gold.. Yay!!

On the 8/12 is MY EVENT DATE!! Jeng jeng… heart pounds like it always does, visits to the toilet as I always do.. Haha.. This is how the event times are scheduled..

Men’s Foil
Women’s Foil
Men’s Epee
Women’s Epee

Women’s Sabre

Today, Amir and Howard fencing Epee, whereas Alex and I will be fencing Sabre.. Ok.. Skip skip skip.. At the end I got a Bronze and Amir got Gold!! Yay!!! So happy for the both of us and the KL team!! Hehe.. My first medal.. Though I din do much.. Cz there was little saberists there to challenge for the medal.. Hehe.. I’m so joyous.. I caught a few videos of the different kinds of fencing like foil, epee and sabre to let those who are not familiar with this sport understand better..

EPEE FENCING..

this is amir in the semi.. u hafta score 15 to win.. look closely n u can see that he actually scored on the opponents toe..in epee u can score at any part of the body..accuracy is a must!!

FOIL FENCING..

And I was scolded by senior duty marshall because I cut 7 papers at once!!!!!!!!! NO SHIT!!!!!!! SHE says that I’m wasting company money because if I cut like that, the papers are not aligned!! I was like WTF!!! In my mind la.. Taken I say it out. Confirm pecat d like tat.. Haha.. So anyways I told her that my chief marshall once did like 10 plus one shot.. And she actually called him out while he was on his break to bring up a brawl.. So on my break, they wasted 15mins of my break time to ‘TALK’ about it.. Wtf?!?!??! Just because I cut paper like tat?? And theres barely a difference.. Yea.. Like by a few MILLImeters!!! Wat the heck man.. Dunno wats up her ass man.. Ok. Anyone report this, id be fired.. So shut it!! Haha…

This is to let anyone noe, if you are not working for the money, don’t work here unless you like to be screwed for fuck reasons!!! Take k.. be safe ya’ll…

Malacca trip!

2006-12-01T19:06:00.000-08:00

Malacca Trip!!!

Our (gein and I) trip to Singapore was cancelled last minute because, on the day before we are leaving (28/11), my genius friend gein found out tat his passport expired on the 27/11!!! I was utterly pissed when I saw that msg in the morning haha.. But never mind, one door closes but another opens rite? Somehow I have no idea what we were talkin about, we suddenly talked bout goin down to Malacca.. Haha.. O help him bring his bed back from his hostel there. So we needed my car.. Haha. So on the 30 Nov, Thursday, we went to Malacca, I fetched him from his house early in the morning and went for breakfast at a very good curry mee place near zoe’s place. Haha.. She brought me there long ago and im totally hooked on it..

After breakfast, we made a stop to the gas station and the journey begins.. We had so much fun!! After 100km or so, I let him drive because the su
n was burning my hand and sure enough rash broke out… he drove all the way to his hostel and we just couldn’t stop zha-ing each other anyway we can. Haha. I was asking him to steal his housemate’s stuff.. Haha.. Since he is not comin bk here d.. hehe.. He kept scolding me.. Haha.. We made everything from carrying mattress to taking lefts funny.. Haha.. After we struggled to get the mattress down and into my car, he had to settle his accommodation thing so we went to the management place and the girl working there is hot man.. Not really TAT HOT.. But she has attractice personality lo.. Haha.. Dunno how to explain la.. I was tryin to flirt around… haha.. But it proves that I was too rusty.. Gein left his wallet n phone in the office so gave me more reason to drop by.. Haha. Swt..

It was lunch time so he brought me to a place called witchery shop.. Weird name.. DON’T EVER GO THERE!! I ordered fish and chips and I can count the chips with two hands!! Omg!! And I couldn’t even finish it!! Guess why!! We camwhored a lil.. Haha.. Since we are already there, he had to take his squash racquet back from his friend so I offered to wait lo. While waiting we relaxed, in I Relax ( an internet café) haha.. We played for 2 hours till his friend got bk from town to pass him his racquet.. After that, we headed back.. On the journey there, we listened to soothing songs haha.. BUT on the way back, we turned on some hip hop music and this is wat happened… have fun watching..hehe..

HAPPY BIRHTDAY

2006-11-23T05:56:00.000-08:00

NOVEMBER 2nd 2006 - my 19th birthday….

Din wanna start the day of my birthday alone so I called gein out for shisha rite after my shift that ends at 12am in 1u..he accompanied me to uncle don’s in hartamas where we usually have our shisha. We sat and chat for a long time.. It was really nice to have him around. Such a great friend. Hehe. And he told me that they actually planned to surprise me but I spoilt it by havin plans ( go out for dinner wif my friends - WHICH did NOT turn out at the end.. Sob sob.. ) I din mind at all oddly enough. So like the way we always drive, we raced bk to my house. Haha. But of all the days that he can stay in my house, he doesn’t this time.. Sob. I wonder why..

The next morning, I went to his house and picked him up and decided to play bowling in 1U n I wanted to bring my sis to wong kok for the super big jug of ying yong.. Haha. But we didn’t have enuf ppl to get it.. So it was another let down again.. After lunch we were wondering wat to do so I simply asked my grandpa if he wants to watch movie. Haha. Which HE NEVER does… haha.. I was shocked to hear him say yes. Haha. In a way I was glad I asked. So we booked four tickets for gein, sis, grandpa and I.. We were goin to watch Rob b Hood.. By Jackie Chan. But we had to wait for another half an hour or so before the show started so I decided to show my grandpa the place I am working in. hehe..

OK.. During the show, I wasn’t expecting the show to be so sad ok?? I thought its more of a comedy!! Haha.. I teared so many times man. Hehe. My grandpa did too!! Aww.. So cute!! After the show it was already 5 and I wanted to go back my palce to play football with the neighborhood kids so I sent gein back first and went home. My mom is still not back yet. I was planning to go out with my friends for dinner because I didn’t know that my mom would be back so early, so I made the plans already but had to cancel cause my dad was pissed. But still. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER!! So I did whats best..

When mom came home, she wished me happy birthday! Haha,. Normally I would pick places like San Francisco Steakhouse because I LOVE mutton so much!!, Victoria Station because I LOVE the lobster so much!! Haha… BUT BUT BUT!!! This year I choose out of the norm. I chose Korean BBQ! Yea man!! KOREAN BBQ!!
I’m so hooked on it now because of viv.. She intro that food to me last year and every time I have Korean, she will be there one.. Hehe. that’s where I celebrated my birthday last year as well with Viv, KiHo and Barry. They were so cute! They bought a small muffin thing and stuck a candle on top and started singing happy birthday to me. Hehe.. I wont forget that moment..

Anyways, I chose that place because I wanted to let my sis , mom and grandpa to try out mew food.. At the end of the day.. They loved it..after dinner, it was already around 1030 when I realized that I have not cut a cake yet.. Haih. I’m suppose to meet up with my fencing friends at hartamas too around 11 so can’t go home just yet.. I hafta cut a cake and blow a candle so badly!! So I flew to secret recipe hoping that it’s still open but unfortunately, it wasn’t.. so where else has a night life?? BANGSAR!! So I went there and immediately I saw bakerzin. So I rushed in, bought a small slice of tiramisu, and rushed back to my car.. It goes on.. Haha. I DUN HAVE A LIGHT!! So I rushed to 7-11 and bought a lighter and got back into my car again.. Then I drove to a secluded area because I dun wanna be seen blowing a candle all by myself.. Haha.. And I called zoe because she said that she wants to sing for me.. And my handphone batt was dying to I asked her to quickly sing and she did.. I made a wish before blowing the candle!! THANKS ZU!! I shared the small slice of rm8 cake with 6 of us.. Haha. Never eat a cake alone..
After the shisha and talk, we went back, but of course, gein came over again.. Haha.. I tapau his ass in winning eleven.. Haha.. Its just my day!! But by then.. It wasn’t the 2th of November d..it was already past mid-night. BUT my birthday is not all without surprises.. I got home and I realized something out of place in my room but I cant put my finger to it..after carefully scanning through my room, I saw a photo frame of me n zu on the shelf where I used to put my fencing mask and I was so shocked I ran into my sis’s room and asked her who did this. Hehe. It was ELAINE!!! Aww!! I love you so much!! That wasn’t all.. There was also an envelope clicked on to my partition and it was from elaine too.. She got me a bracelet as well with a drop dead cute music box that plays the Happy Birthday song.. The photoframe was from zoe.. Haha.. But elaine helped her get it and stuff..I look horrendous in the picture though…aww!!! Am so touched!!! The next day I msged a lot of ppl so many many times!! Omg.. I feel so stupid and humiliated!! Askin about a few dozen to come to have dinner wif me but only a hand full came… that sucks. But i'm grateful that they came. had loadsa fun with them.. i rushed home around 11 because my family bought a cake for me to celebrate already and i wanna cut it with them! so i got home and my aunt n uncle was there too. thier anniversary is on the same date as my birthday, normally they would gimme me ang pow but not this year, dunno y.. haha. anyways.. i cut the cake n ate it with the family. :) joyful.. come to think about it, iv never had a REAL party for myself.. Actually, all the plans I’v made, FAILS!! Except for the Kijal trip. Oh.. That was unforgettable too!! Haha.. Planning to have another one before I leave..

Well that’s about all how I celebrated my birthday, sucky I know. Normally people would be getting wasted and bringing girls home. But I ended up watchin movie wif my grandpa. Haha.. Il cherish the moment forever!! I love him!!

my big catch

2006-11-21T03:36:00.000-08:00

I GOT MY FIRST BIG CATCH!!!

A few months back, i went fishing with dad somewhere in Putrajaya, that place is really lovely.. we had to row boats to other places to fish and yes, i'm the one rowing while my dad and uncle sat there comfortably nagging at me for strayin too far left or right.. piss-nya... haha..
anyways.. i went to a jetty to fish, i didn't expect to get anything so all i did was i cast the bait out, and then i sat on the edge of the jetty wif an umbrella and started to fall asleep..
while i was about to sleep, suddenly there was a huge tuck and my rod flew up!! i was so shocked i panic n ifaster grabbed hold of the rod and strike it. then i started to reel it in. the fish din give much of a fight and so i thought the line broke or someting. i didn't even tell my dad because i didn't wanna call him to see a broken line, get wat i mean? haha. anyways.. then when its near the jetty, i saw a hideous fish's head pop up from the water.. now this is when i started shouting. haha. i din noe wat to do nx. hehe. and so i called me paps over and he RAN!! haha.. so cute! we lifted the fish up and i tied it down to keep it alive in the water and not get away.. its a fisherman's trick.. so amazing! everyone came to have a look, even the bangladeshi workers and people on tours. my dad was like showing off MY CATCH!! haha. let him boast la. we brought it back and weighed it.. it's 1.6kg.. haha.. not bad i'd say. i'm still waiting to beat my dad's 6kg toman and 25kg terapin..haha..well.. heres a pic of it.. *it looks bigger than it is.. haha *

2006-11-20T04:58:00.000-08:00

A DAY/NIGHT LIKE NO OTHER…

Started off the same as every other mornings tat iv been havin for the days after my college ended.. Wake up at 12 in the afternoon n then bum around through out the whole day… come to think bout it.. it’s the same as when I was havin college.. Haha..

Anyways.. Its wat happened tonight(15/9/06) tat is really something… first, I attended yew jhin’s farewell to India cz he is doin dentistry there, it started around 630 so I was there a lil late and was surprised to see lots of ppl much earlier than me..haha..I had something to eat there cz I miss his mom’s cooking. Haha.. N his dog (plum) is so cute!! Its like an oil drum wif a small dog head sticking out of one end and a tail in the other.. Haha.. Met a lot of friends tat iv not seen since I left college.. So was glad to see some of them n congratulate those tat got damn lots of As.. Hehe.. I stayed for a short period of time only cz I had to leave for a dinner at Lake Club.. it’s a jazz/pilates/belly dinner or something like tat.. It was really fun to see the ppl there.. All in the mid 40s or 50s, but there are some damn hot chicks there ok.. My eyes were very busy tat night.. Haha.. Again, we (yin n I) were late so once we got in they were playing games d.. so cute la.. Imagine seeing working adults wearing their suits making noises like woof-woof or quack-quack while jumping around like a 3 year old.. Haha..later on the evening there were other events such as belly dancing, jazz performance n lots more.. Yin n I didn’t stay while they were having their meals because we din hv a place to seat and it’ll be awkward if we walked around when others are eating. So we took a stroll into lake garden, gosh, iv not been there for ages man.. They even built a damn big playground!! Damn lucky kids. Haha..

Whilst enjoying the night, we found out that su is actually leaving to UK again at 5 o’clock in the morning later, so we decided not to sleep n I came up wif the idea of goin to hartamas for some shisha.. Haha. Kinda hooked to it.. But only to pass time. After dinner we went bk to su’s place to let her pack her stuff and met up wif some of her friends from mc in the laundry bar (the curve) they kept asking my to dance, sigh… I dun dance k.. but I did in the end just to make them stop askin me.. Haha.. Guess they succeeded.. Jess n I really wanted to do shisha so yes we did in the end.. Went all the way bk to hartamas and got some!! Yea!! Su was looking to tired and sleepy and I felt so bad cz she was evidently not havin fun and suddenly she went like.. ‘do you noe wat I feel like doin now??’ she asked.. In my mind I was thinking tat she is goin to say tat she wants to go bk n sleep but then she said something so out of the norm.. ‘swimming’!!!!!!!!!! haha… then jess came up wif a plan to go to her house to swim, yes she has a swimming pool in her house.. Wont u just kill to have that?? Haha.. We went bk to su’s again for her to get some swimming clothes n she lent me a pair of surfer pants that some guy gave to her… his name is something that rhymes with bimbo.. Hahha.. Jk jk..

We climbed her gate and went for the swim su requested.. Well, what can I say?? I dun normally swim at 3 in the morning but wat the heck.. Haha.. My mom doesn’t allow me to sleep overnight at other’s as some of u might noe but in this case, im not sleeping rite??haha… it was great… we did canon balls and yin did a belly flop.. Looks damn bloody painful.. Hahha.. Our night ended around 430 when I had to fetch su n yin bk home.. Will miss u Su!! Will be waiting for you to come home!! Do take k… muah!!

* il try to upload the pictures later *

cherno trip

2006-10-17T21:37:00.000-07:00

Cherno Fishing Trip (23/9 - 24/9)
A very last minute decision, the call came in around 11 in the morning when I was happily playing my FIFA2006 football manager when I mom came n told me that dad has an empty spot on a boat and asked if I wanted to accompany him there.. It took me 2 minutes or so to say yes cause I was busy playin the game.. Haha.. Oh btw, if u r wondering wat boat, it’s a small bout my dad n uncle bought to go fishing with.. And yes, he asked me to go accompany him go fishing.. And I said it was last minute cause we are set to leave at 2 that day.. Haha. I packed my bag, while playing football of course.. Haha..
And I waited for dad to come home from golf. He got bk, had a shower n slept while I loaded everything into the car and waited till 2 to wake my dad up.. We left after he had a quick lunch n I drove a little on the way there.. It took us around 3 hours to get there cz our friend’s car (uncle mike) has a boat on the roof so we had to drove slow.. He is the same guy that we went fishing in taman negara with. He is a very humorous chap wif a very big desire for adventure. And he has a soft spot too.. He loves his kids very much.. Treats them all equally and he talks to them very sweetly.. He does so to me too.. Haha.. I like it.. My dad never does tat to me.. BUT he’s still my dad.. N I love me.. Haha.. Tats 90% y I decided to go, to spend time wif my dad cz he’s been out station a lot lately and I dun see him a lot..
So we reached there around 5 and we waited and waited until 9 something.. I was so pissed.. Haih.. Dad n I were getting very frustrated cz couldn’t get to fish today and when we were told tat we couldn’t do so today due to pythons in the area.. Sigh.. When uncle mike’s friends arrived around 1030, it’s the perfect timing for them because they are going boar hunting.. So brought 2 shotguns and I couldn’t resist and I held one.. Haha.. Power to kill in your hands.. Hmm.. Felt great.. They left with uncle Mike’s 4x4 hilux..
We didn’t have a place to stay that night so uncle Mike’s friend knows a friend where we can stay at his place, he turns out to be a big shot Indian gangster with respect written all over his forehead.. He is a very friendly guy too.. He speaks canto and yes, better than me.. Haha.. He has a katana in his house!! Had a look at it and its damn sharp..we planned to sleep on the floor..he told us this story where someone he took into his house to care for him but at the end he ended up stealing rm3000 of belongings from that Indian gangster and so the gangster hired someone for rm8000 and a few weeks to find him and once he did, the mercenary dragged that thief bk to his house unrecognizable because his face was too swollen and bloody.. Haha…coolness
Dad and i were still very eager to fish so we asked someone and we were told tat we can go fish at the Pahang river and so we did.. But it was only, uncle David, dad and I cz uncle Mike was too tired and he wasn’t feeling well.. We used live baits (small fishes) to fish.. And in total I killed around 6 with my bare hands.. We fished till around 2 something in pitch black.. We weren’t really close to getting any.. But I THINK I was real close.. I THINK I hooked a fish but my line broke, and I actually saw the fish’s head. Darn pissed.. The hunters came roaring back around 430 with 2 freshly killed 50kg boars at the back of their truck with their heads chopped off..I woke up n had a looksie at it..they were quite disappointed cz they could hv had more.. I dun mind seeing dead stuff.. I just cant stand killing something..
The next day we woke up around 630 n got ready, we were suppose to wait for this malay guy tat was suppose to show us the way.. But he made us wait for 4 hours ytd n he still be sleeping in the morning so we didn’t wanna wait stupidly for him and luckily my dad asked someone tat noes how to go so we left without him.. We went to a pond and started fishing for god knows what fish.. We rowed the boat around the pond casting live baits, frogs this time around.. I killed 4 with my bare hands.. Haih.. I prefer killing fish cz the way we had to hook it is absolutely grotesque!! Haih.. I hafta say this if not I might forget n my kids can read this next time because I doubt that they will have the privilege to do so next time.. How will they with ppl mass killing the fishes, pollution, global warming and all the usual shit happening around.. People too ignorant to understand what is goin on with our eco-system.. Haih.. Ok so this is how it has to be done, the frogs are in a bag and u hafta choose one to kill.. This is the hard part.. Then u hafta flick their heads real hard till they are dazed, then take it out of the bag. Next, you hafta take the blunt end of a safety pin like thing and poke through from beneath the jaw till it goes through the head and then u clip it, sometimes the pin comes throught the eye, or sometimes the nose, the frog is still motionless yet alive.. Then, there will be a hook few cm below the pin and u use that to thrust into the leg of the frog up to the tummy.so that the fishes wont see the hook.. High.. Im a murderer!! I remember there was once I when I was hooking the leg, the muscles kept shivering!! Sigh.. Im a sinner..
After being under the blistering hot sun for hours, we decided to give up.. Unsuccessful, but that’s the thing about fishing, one has to be dead patient!! Sometimes u win and sometimes u lose, it’s a small price to pay compared to a fish, where they will lose their lives if you lose..so im not gonna complain.. Haha..
I know that my dad din sleep as much as I did last night so I know that he is very very sleepy cz im very sleep.. Haha.. So I took the wheels and I din tell him tat im very tired.. Haha.. I drove a total of 5 hours that day.. Whoah.. Amazing man.. Thank goodness nothing happened.. My dad slept most of the way bk.. And I would like to make a shoutout.. Thank you zoe for msgin me to keep me awake.. Though it was only 4 msgs or so b4 my phone ran of out batt.. Haha.. But it helped..
Once I got home I still had to send the car for a wash cz its really dirty!! Mud all over the place, outside and inside.. Really did put it to its use its 4x4 capabilities this time around.. Haha.. There was a party that night in uncle Mike’s house, a birthday party for uncle Jimmy, another fishing buddy.. He turned 51!! And there they planned for another fishing trip.. There is one this weekend that iv not decided yet.. Should I go for a one day sea fishing trip without my dad or a 2nights 3days camping + fishing by the riverside with my dad.. Hmm.. Hafta think properly.. Or I mite not go at all.. Haha..

We had to wake up early cz we need to rush to the fencing venue.. My uncle dropped us at the Clementi MRT station n we took the 45mins long ride to Pasir Ris where the venue is.. We were all dozing off on the train cz we are so sleep deprived.. Once we got there, theres still a 20mins walk ahead of us.. Tummy was singing to me askin me to feed him.. So I had porridge upon arrival.. Haha.. The venue is small compared to the others iv been to.. But because there weren’t a big show-ups, so they changed to a smaller venue…
I cheered for my fellow Malaysian fencers and a Thai fencer tat is drop dead gorgeous!! Whoah.. Damn hot man..I tried so many times to take pics of her without her knowing… hehe.. I noe its rude.. Blek.. I dun k..

The club was awesome!! They have 4 different kinds of rooms, one is the main hall where all kinds of music are being played wif a huge dance floor… then theres ‘The Smoove’ playing R&B songs for the teenagers.. The dance floor is in a huge cage.. Really nice design.. The DJ is so cool man.. Ahahha.. This is where we hung out at first.. We had lotsa drinks here.. Well I did.. I had a margarita, 2 vodkas and a graveyard to wrap it all up.. Haha..The graveyard costs rm50!! Muahaha.. Bummer… I watched Alex , Howard and Sophia dance while jess n I just chilled outside the cage.. There are so many hot chicks there man.. Hehe..
Ok.. Then theres the 70’s room… very retro.. The dance floor is very colorful as u can imagine.. This is where I had my first ‘step’ haha.. a lot of foreigners here.. Guess they like the beats… alex n I dance around Sophia till she felt dizzy… haha.. We sat down on the cute hanging chairs n took pics then we went to the main hall and danced a lot!! Haha.. Then we needed somewhere to chill so theres the last but not least theres ‘the pure’ room where the place if all white n funny designs, and I didn’t really hear the music cz I din spend much time here.. Howard did a lap dance on my cousin.. Haha.. Damn funny.. Hehe.. Jz like in Kedah.. We went bk around 330.. We went to McD for breakfast b4 heading bk.. My uncle came n fetched us.. OMG!!

Ipoh Trip

2006-09-01T10:53:00.000-07:00

DAY 1 (Monday)
It was a quick 2 hour bus ride to ipoh from hentian duta, I reached there at 1145, tried callin viv n her aunt a few times but not surprising enough they were still fast asleep. Hehe.. But I thought that viv was still havin her first driving lesson so I didn’t wanna call her too many times.
Luckily I saved her address into my phone long long time ago and I din delete it.. Hehe.. So I took a cab over and I made a new fwen d.. his name is Ravi.. The cab driver.. Hehe.. He speaks 5 diff languages.. Damn chun.. Hehe..
I stayed outside viv’s place for a long while, hehe.. I called jean for some help.. Then we called viv n then only she opened the door.. Hehe..
Her dad amazingly enough lent me his merc E280.. Whoah.. And he said.. It’s jz a car.. Wtf!! So I slowly backed it up, slowly turned, slow EVERYTHING!! Haha.. One scratch n il be cutting grass, washin dog , washin dishes and cleanin the house for the rest of my life man.. Haha.. Ok.. A bit exaggerated.. We drove out to fetch jean and had lunch with her at the stadium.. Jean n I ate wanton mee, while viv ate something else I hv no idea wat.. Hehe
Viv’s aunt woke up around 230 and I only got to say a few words wif her b4 she left for mahjong, and she didn’t come bk till past midnight. Haha.. Damn chun.. Her parents are still as hot as ever man. Hehe. They are so cute!! Hehe..
Viv was very tired apparently (from havin lunch I thnk.. Haha… juju shes always tired) so she slept, and while she slept, I walked the The Store and then walked to a nearby run-down super market and I saw a lot of old ppl playing this ‘saibu soccer’ machines.. Something like slot machines… they were everywhere!! So sad la… then I asked directions to ipoh parade and it was a 15 min walk there.. Phew.. Tired.. She called when I was there so I came bk n brought her out for dinner. Went to ipoh swimming club but rite after we sat down n ordered, the lights went out…………then I asked for a candle from the waiter and he brought one over ot the table.. Aww.. So romantic.. It was ALMOST a candle light dinner if there was actually a dinner.. Hahah..
So we went elsewhere for dinner and it was dirt cheap!! had long conversations wif viv.. Guess u can say tat we were catchin up on old times..hehe..

-jean- ‘you can’t get broke in Ipoh sam..’ is it true?? Hmm… viv thinks otherwise cz she says tat she is the first one to be broke in ipoh.. Haha..

DAY 2 (Tuesday)
The first night in viv’s guest room was kinda hard for me.. Heard a lot of funny noises the whole night. Hehe.. Theres a low trembling sound from outside, and I’m guessin tat tats the air-con machine, then theres the whirling n wooshing sound from above, tat wud be the fan, but there is a tapping sound coming from outside time to time.. This im not sure wat sound is tat.. Haha. I remembered viv telling me online once tat she was scared cz she heard noises coming from outside oso.. Hehe.. I wasn’t scared but rather curious.. Hehe..
I woke up around 10 and wanted to wake viv up but I didn’t cz im afraid tat she mite not like it so I troubled her maid again to open to door for me and I went for another walk to ipoh parade again and I went to starbucks and somehow I had a feeling tat viv is allergic to coffe but I still got her a cup of cappuccino.. Haih.. Shud hv listened to my intuitions… then I brought it bk for her but then found out tat she dun take it, but luckily I bought fruit juices for her and she liked it.. Hehe.. So not so bad..
When she FINALLY woke up, we went to watch click in Jusco.. Hehe..I am totally happy I made the decision to come down here.. Miss spending time wif her and looking for fwens here n making new fwens.. Hehe..
Came home after movies and had dinner wif her dad b4 he left for badminton wif his bunch of young hotties.. Haha..
We decided to go for supper but I wanted to look for a pub so she led the way to ipoh garden I think and we walked all over looking for one suitable one.. Hehe.. Finally found one and we sat down and chat more.. We ordered piniacolada( not sure how to spell) hehe.. She had a few BIG sips.. Hehe.. She wasn’t suppose to drink.. Cz scared of her parents scolding her… we talked bout our past , our feelings towards stuff.. And lots more.. Hehe..
Ok.. Now is the real supper, she brought me to a shop famous for their lou shu fan n chicken wings.. I hafta admit.. Its pretty damn good.. Haha..
Felt like havin more alcohol so I drank the one I bought from china.. Hehe .. 56% alcohol BaABbbYyYY!!

DAY 3 (Wednesday)
Was a very disappointing day today, haih.. Endless streaks of disappointments.. Firstly, we couldn’t make it to gua tempurung.. Super upset by this, then viv didn’t wake up for her driving lessons, I bought a cup of hot chocolate for her but when she drank it was already cold..hehe..
Fine!! So I’m not goin to gua today..nvm.. So after an hour plus for viv to get ready while I took a short nap and read my book, we finally made it out for lunch. it’s the same place we first went wif the other gang of ppl.. The curry mee shop.. Will remember tat forever.. I miss it.. It reminds me of the time when my life was happier.. *deep sigh*
After lunch we fetched jean n wei wei to go E-box n rite then I kinda lost my mood d.. cz I really wanna go gua!! Argh!!! And so I didn’t talk much.
Had a drop dead delicious dinner wif viv’s aunt at ‘indulgence’.. the ambience in that shop is outstanding!! They were looking at the ‘hot’ chef.. Haha.. Well. I was too.. Hehe.. The food is really satisfying..
Viv had a tiramisu and she told me the story bout the cake.. Was bout LOVE la.. Hehe..
Aunt n I talked a lot I hafta say.. Though she was speaking to me in canto most of the time but somehow und her.. Hehe.. She wud talk to me in canto n I wud reply her in either English or mandarin.. Haha.. Viv is so close wif her aunt!! So cute n loving together.. Had lots of laughs wif them.. Miss the,!!
After dinner I rushed to Ipoh Parade before it closes n I got my shoes tat iv been looking for for so long though it makes me look like a duck..haha.., n as some of u mite noe me, im a person tat likes to give surprises so I went a flower shop n got her some flowers.. A few daisies n a sunflower..
When I got bk, we suddenly felt like playin badminton so we played on her porch n we also cycled around.. Hehe.. Damn huge man her house..
At night we chat as usual n this time she came up wif a lame game.. We wud dare one another to lick stuff… ahaha.. She went first so she asked me to lick the cupboard, so I did it.. Haha.. Then it was my turn n I asked her to lick *aint gonna tell u wat* haha.. N she did it!! Amazingly.. Hehe.. So proud of her.. Guess she’s sporting after all.. Hahha.. I did some research for my pangkor trip tml..

*If u cant b wif the one u LOVE, then LOVE the one u r wif..* I read this passage from my book.. I like it lots..

DAY 4 (Thursday)
She came into my room around 4 n I was too deprived of sleep to react.. Haha.. She stayed up all nite so tat she can see me off the next day.. Haha.. So sweet.. And I originally planned to leave at 8 but ended up leavin at 945.. Before leavin I left the flowers tat I stashed away from her on her bed..
I called my friend Ravi to pick me up to the old bus terminal.. N I manage to catch the bus to Lumut at the last minute.. Haha.. Slept through out the 2 hours trip.. When I got there I felt so lost. Hhaa.. Then there was this malay auntie sitting there eatin n asked me if I need a place to stay in Pangkor or not.. Hehe.. So I said yes n she stopped eatin n showed me the way to a small booth outside the stall where theres a guy working for a resort inside.. Interesting.. So I searched up the cheapest room.. Hehe.. I got it n I took the ferry over to pangkor.. The ferry is huge!! Haha..I saw a family of 3 tat is stayin in the same resort s me so I hitched a same cab wif them to the resort so I didn’t hafta pay so much but they ended up paying for everything.. Haha.. So sweet of them.. We chat a lot on our way to Teluk Nipah..relaxed a lil in my room (I prefer callin it a bed wif 4 walls…haha.. Cz tats how small it is) hehe.. At least they hv a fan inside.. This is wat backpacking is all about. Haha..I went n asked the locals if theres anything to do and they told me snorkeling is the best choice so I went to the beach n asked the boatman how much it wud cost n when they gave me a sum, I went bk to the family n asked them if they are interested because again , it wud be cheaper for me.. Haha..and so they agreed n we left soon after.. We took a short boat ride to Coral island where we are goin to snorkel..
Snorkeling was GREAT!! The water is so clear n there are so many fishes!! They are rite IN YOUR FACE!! Haha.. I saw parrot fish too!! Damn colorful man.. Haha.. After tat I did something I seldom do, I went n lie on a huge piece of rock for some tan!! Haha.. I fell asleep there for half n hour or so n I woke up brown!! Haha.. I went swimming n I lost the gold ring my mom gave me!! Was so sad!! But my mom told me it was ok.. Haih.. I love her so much!! Muah!!
In the evening I walked around the small village wearing my china shirt ( really makes me feel like on a holiday.. Hehe ) I watched the sunset n took pics of it..very lovely.. Only wished tat I hv a gf wif me then. Hehe.. Then I looked for a place to sit down n hv dinner.. Saw the family again. Haha.. They must be thinking ‘ is he stalking us??’ haha..Traveling alone has is pros n cons..
PROS.. Room 2 yourself, walk around wearing ntg but ur undies.. Haha.. Well in my case, u cant really walk around the room.. Haha.. U can only walk on ur bed.. Haha.. Make new friends n freedom of course..

Come to think bout it it was quite funny.. Haha.. She said tat she was driving wif one hand.. Then *DddDuUusssSshhHhHh* I whacked her head.. Haha.. Then she continued and told me tat her instructor kept asking her to slow down then *DdDUuuuuSsSshhhhHHhh* again.. Haha. N scolded her.. Kinda proud actually.. Hehe..my prodigy.. Blek..
In the late afternoon we went to the venue where the charity dinner is to be held for briefing.. Whoah.. Damn lotsa hot guys there man.. Haha… n miss TAR is there too. Hehe.. Not really hot if u ask me… it’s the way she brings herself tat catches ppl’s eyes.. Attitude if definitely not there.. No offence!! Hehe…

Day 1, 2

2006-08-27T12:54:00.001-07:00

Day 1
After collecting our luggages from the conveyer belt, we walked to the entrance anxious to see what my distant uncles look like. Instead we were surrounded by swarms of cab drivers that kept following us around askin for business from us, no matter how much we said no, they still stuck real close to us, literally. Then when my grandpa saw my uncle (his sister’s son) we greeted him warmly
Then when we reached our house in wenchang, I was kinda amazed to see the house, it is rather big!! Then my grandpa’s sister-in-law came n welcome us, my grandpa n her both started tearin, tat is the first time iv ever seen him cry! Grandpa’s sister that looks very much like his mom (accordin to my dad cause he loves her very very much) kissed me when we hugged, felt the warmth and felt really accepted so quickly.
It is freakin hot there!! Kept sweatin the whole day. a lot of relatives came by and chat , sis n I were stugglin to recognise who they are and remembering that. My 2nd uncle came and put fireworks, that’s what they do when there is something to celebrate, in this case, us arriving. And that in turn attracts more people, neighbours and neighbour’s neighbour came to see whats happening.
Slept on a hard bed and guess what? I woke up wif a backache!! Haha.. The nights there were lovely. Star-filled skies!! No clouds at all!! So lovely!!

Day 2
Its been a long time since I last wake up at 6 in the morning so it was really hard for me to wake up. Can u believe it? This early in the morning and the whole village is up already,a miracle by Malaysia’s standards. we went to the market place and it was crowded!! At 630 in the morning!! Whats wrong wif these ppl man. Then I saw something that I strongly believe is a pig’s penis for sale. Hehe. Soon after we found ourselves resting in a ‘mamak’ having breakfast. There were constant stares from the locals. My grandpa was so famous there, everyone came n talked to him. By this time I really wanna sms my friends d. but I really must control myself and not do so too often!! Its really hard for me not to. Haih.. Addicted!!
Went straight to WenChang after tat wif a bag that is constantly dripping blood cz there is a piece of meat in it.. Haha.. Really disgusting…
*BAD EXPERIENCE*
I really had to go use the toilet, apparently in the streets, both genders use the same one.. My grandpa had to use it to so I went after him and there was a woman b4 him. And when it was my turn, I was really smart la.. I aimed straight for the hole and guess wat.. Let me give u a hint.. “ doooommp!! N splash!!” get it?? I cringed in fear n disgust!! I hv no idea how many ppl’s shit I got onto my ass!! Haha.. Blek!! I still cringe thinking bout it. Haha.
MORAL OF STORY-- do it like others, shit anywhere but the hole!! Haha..
Anyways, after that ordeal, sis and I went shopping for air tickets and immediately we had locals trying to con our money and they succeeded, very pissed at that lady!! some more she kept on saying ‘ why shud I cheat u all?? Wat do I get out of it??’ MONEY U IDIOT!!! DUH!!! We then shopped for a stool for gong to sit in where he can do his business as well cause he cant really bend n stand up. Hehe. Finally found one n I started my bargaining spree right away. Hehe. Grandpa loved it.. Hehe.. Shud hv asked him to bring it bk. Hehe..

Day 3, 4

2006-08-27T12:34:00.000-07:00

Day 3
Wif the plane tickets we bought from ytd, we departed at 805.
*HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE*
I thought it was a budget flight like airasia or tiger airways whereby u need to pay for the drinks and the food onboard, BUT IT’S NOT!! So this is wat happened, the stewardess was happily pushing the cart past us n serving us, then I went and ask her how much is it per drink? She cudn’t hear wat I was sayin (either tat or she din think I was so stupid to be askin her tat) so I repeated then I dunno wat she heard and she lifted her finger saying 1 so I tot it was 1RMB and I was like whoah, so cheap? and when she served me, I handed her 1RMB and her exacts word was ‘ ni gan ma gei wo qian ah?’ à ‘ why on earth are u givin me money?’ hehe.. And somehow, I dunno what the other steward heard and she gave me a cup of ice!! Haha. Really funny la..
MORAL OF STORY-- dun be so stupid like me.. Hehe..
KunMing is 17°C when we arrived cz this place is on a mountain d. around 3000m above sea level I think.
Wandered around the KunMing airport after touchdown and begun looking for bus to the city, we didn’t know when to get off so we simply chose a stop that a lot of ppl are getting off. I was so happy to be on the bus cz there was a really hot chick sitting 2 seats from me. Hehe.. I tot it was like this all the way. Lots of hot chicks around. But I found out later tat it was not to be.. Soon we found ourselves to be famished so we stopped at a vegetarian buffet place to satisfy my sister’s appetite. We ordered a plate of chicken cooked wif bla bla bla.. Who cares, and the waitress clearly said it was for one and when it came, we were stunned to see a plate as big as a large pizza!!! FOR ONE MY HEAD!! I couldn’t finish I cz it was freaking spicy.
The thing about backpacking is that we don’t have any idea where we are goin to stay so we carried our 15kg backpack behind and another 5k bag in front walking around to look for a place to stay. We found ourselves in a youth hostel that night. I was delighted cz again there is a hot chick working there from Szechwan but my sis wasn’t as delighted as me for some reason I dunno y. we rented a bike and we cycled a pretty long distant to buy our train tickets to DaLi tml. The road system there is horrible!! Should I go like.. ‘ WHAT ROAD SYSTEM??’ nobody follows the signs!!
We heard bout a very nice bird market nearby so we tot of checkin it out. There I ate something like satay, but its mutton!! And its super delicious!! I ate another 6 more that day. Hehe. We returned the bikes and sister said she hasn’t had enough yet, so we went out again after a short rest. We came bk really late cz we had to walk very far cz the buses stopped their routes d.. haih..

Day 4
Again, we rushed in the morning to catch our train to Dali. At the end we had enough spare time to get some breakfast into our tummy.. It was an agonizing 8 hours ride. They have salesperson on board the train to make announcements. So hilarious la.. Wat an interesting profession. The sceneries are to die for where you have both traditional and modern buildings built on the hillsides. We got the horribly had seats which costs only 35RMB, according to lonely planet, they say that you can cut the smoke in there with a knife but it’s not as bad it they say it is.. They have a place where they boil water for ppl to use on the train and I wanted to take pics of it but there was this boiler man tats so fucking rude tat he din let me. But I still went bk at the end when he wasn’t watchin. Hehe.. Then there was this dude sittin in front of us tat kept staring at jie’s boobs, of course she felt uncomfortable but she had it coming, who asked her to wear spaghetti strap?? So I kept staring at that guy to make him uncomfortable in return. Haha. He is such a disgusting man. He blew his snot on the floor which nearly fell on someone’s feet!!
Once we got there, we found another youth hostel, we stayed with another girl from Holland. Very sweet. We rented a bike and went exploring. We stumbled upon a woman from a minority tribe and she was kind enough to bring us back to her house and chat with us.
I tried another of their delicacies (baby crabs and clam). But it wasn’t tat nice because they put some sort of spice in it to get rid of the ‘fresh’ smell. My sis accidentally ate a piece of meat and her tummy started aching after that. Sis was in a shopping mood so I tagged along to bargain for her and she said that I ROCK!! Haha.. On our way back I sang with one of the locals. Hehe..
Overall, Dali is a crowded and bustling place. They have night life here..

Day 5
Woke up wif a soar throat.. We cycled to ‘er hai hu’ translation is ‘ ear-shaped lake’. we went to the jetty and we dini like it there cz it was too touristy so we went somewhere else. We cycled along the lake to see if there are any other pplace where we can swim. We went to a village and found 2 twins and they said tat they’ll bring us there. They are so cute.. Mebe around 9 years old.. They shared a bike there.. We cycled through the paddy field on shit covered roads.. Hehe.. The place they brought us?? ITS PERFECT!! Picturesque view n nobody around n cool water.. We swam for a bit, took pics and they asked money from us, I was shocked and disappointed, though we wanted to give them a lil , but they shudn’t hv asked.. I only had 100s.. So I cycled ahead to get change but when I got bk they were gone, so we passed the money to some stranger tat noes them so we wont feel as guilty. Later we cycled to the 3 pagodas but we didn’t go in cause we had to pay a ridiculous entrance fee anyways we can see it from outside d..I took my rash medication cz my rash was comin up..lost a few pairs of undies while hanging them out to dry.we had a short nap and we went to XiJou, I had water dragonflies on the way.. Hehe.. Yumm.. We also went on a muel-drawn cart, but we felt bad for the skinny thing so we stopped halfway n took a bus. The small village still looks ancient and authentic. I had black pepper steak for dinner and it wasn’t all tat good. Our body was achin that night so we decided to go for a massage by the blind n dumb.it was awesome but I had more body aches the next day.. Hehe..

Day 6
There was knocking on our room late at night and so I had to wake up to open it, there was a new roommate.. Then I couldn’t sleep anymore.. The morning we found out tat its an american girl tat was locked outside her room after a late night clubbin… so she had to stay at our place.. I was flooded by my own phlegm n my sis was snoring, I whacked her.. Haha..shhhh…
I had a buffet breakfast and I ate till I dropped. Hehe.. Left for LiJiang in the morning and the 4 hour trip was again BAD…there was so little leg space and seats are so small!! It seems to be much hotter up here.. The first thing backpackers do when they reach a new destination ,seek shelter.. We checked out a lot of guest houses d.. they all range from 120RMB to 140RMB. Then my sis asked some foreign tourists and they told us tat they are stayin at a place for 25RMB per night n the facilities are equally as good.. So we were so excited and started looking for the place.it took us around half an hour wif our heavy backpacks to find it.. But it was ALLLL WORTH IT!!..the place is called Mama Naxi guest house.. Naxi is the name of a tribe there. Mama is such a nice person.. We all call her mama.. Cz she is really like our typical mama.. She is very helpful n tries her best to serve us as best as she can.. All the stress is really bad for her health, we found out tat she is havin some health issue.. Something wrong wif her bone marrow I think. I hope its not fatal.. This place is really comfortable. Prob because she makes everybody right at home. We went to change some american dollars and chilled out at a café (Prague café) where we sat n planned our trip n I updated my diary.. I really like this place, im sitting there and imagining tat it wud be really romantic if I bring my gf here nx time around winter so tat the willows, Chinese rooftops n road is covered in snow n im walkin around holding her hands.. Haih..if I hv a gf… because we plan to go hiking tml, I had to get a pair of hiking shoes cz I din have anything suitable.. I went to almost 10 shops n non had my size until at last I found a shoe wif a larger cutting. I took it.. Hehe.. The quality is really bad but I only need it to last me 2 days..we rushed bk to our mama cz she wants us to be bk on time for dinner.. The cooking is AWESOME!!! I ate damn a lot man..we found out tat there were ppl from Sweden, England, China, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, France, Korea and of course Malaysia( us!!) all under one roof.. Haha.. After dinner, we planned our hiking trip wif mama and I had to do some translating to the others ..at night I went online and chat wif zu n viv.. Zu is mad at me for wtv reason I dunno.. N viv is comforting me.. She is always comforting me.. Hehe.. Thank you!! Muah!!

2006-08-27T12:07:00.001-07:00

Day 7
The sirens from a nearby army camp went off at around 6 so we woke up then n got ready, our group of 10 including 2 French, I Slovakian, 2 English, 2 Israelis, 1 swiss and of course us.. The hike was tiring, exhilarating, refreshing and exciting. It was an approx 4 to 5 hours non-stop hike around the mountains, we climbed around 400m higher.. Air is thin n cooling. Very weird from Malaysia..I picked flowers along the trail to keep in my diary for remembrance. So I walk n I pluck n I put in my sunglasses box n I walk again!! Haha.. The scenery is like ntg iv seen b4!! The mountains are so beautiful!! I had a great time walking behind everyone else, cause then I can take my own sweet time while I enjoy the viewand think bout stuff to clear my mind.. We reached the ‘Half-Way Guest House’ and decided that that’s enuf walk for the day. I chat a lot wif the foreigners. I talked bout the world cup finals with the French and apparently they hate France cz they said tat they paid to win bk in the days. I gave the Israel guy some of our Malaysian currencies cz he is collecting them.. Of course im goin to claim bk from my mom..hehe..it was when I was about to take my shower that I realized that I forgot to bring my undies n pants… haha no wonder my bag was so light. Hehe.. So I wore my WP track suits… din really like my sis today.. She is being very stuck up n she acts really fake towards others.. The way she speaks.. Really really FAKE!!

Day 8
Whoah.. Today I really hate the Chinese man.. They are such liars!!money cheating scums!!! Urgh!! (NO 1)When we were heading towards the middle tiger leaping gorge.. Oh its separated into 3 parts.. They said tat we had to pay to go see the gorge but we already paid for the whole damn hike d b4 we came into the gorge.. So there was a small brawl.. At the end we all din go through there.. We walked further down and we saw a sign pointing into the bushes that says middle tiger leaping gorge, there is a small trail there meant for hikers.. So we went through there.. We didn’t hafta pay a single cent! I was so pissed and I wanted to go bk n scold them..im guessing tat tat is the original path. I accidentally fell n I cut my palm n I used Moti’s( Israel guy) spray that stops bleeding n kills germs all in one spray!! Hehe.. It worked really well I hafta say.. Hehe.. We saw the gorge from a better view n it was free!! Haha..(NO 2) we needed a ride bk to the main entrance and the guy forcefully said 15RMB per pax where it shud be 10RMB..(NO 3) we were suppose to look for public buses bk to LiJiang but then JC ( american dude) wanted to go bk quicker by minivan. And a normal minivan can only fit 6 ppl but there were 8 of us and we wanna leave together mama said tat it shud cost us no more than 20RMB but they are charging 25RMB..when we saw a minivan big enough to fit all of us came, I quickly stopped it n asked how much, b4 the driver can dish out a price, the first driver we met ran to him n whispered into his ear n then the driver told us 25 RMB as well.. So ok la. We took it cz can fit all of us ma for the same price.. Then when we all got into the van, we saw our driver hand over some cash to the first driver n we were so pissed we all booed in the car.. I wanted to get off and wait for the bus one lo.. I HATE CHEATERS!! But my sister din let me..there was a smirk on that guy’s face n I jz felt like fixing his face for him man.. Aiyo!!
When we reached LiJiang, he dropped us at some bus station tat we hv no idea where it is, so nobody wanted to pay 25RMB to be left elsewhere other than JC.. I was so unsatisfied, the Israelis were saying ‘ why should we pay?? I’m not goin to pay…’ hehe.. So cute la tat uncle.. Then there was a heated argument in the car between me n tat driver cause I knew the language and everybody was staring at me n him bk n forth.. My blood was boiling and everyone was curious wat I was saying to him and vice versa…honestly, we nearly got into a fight.. And I was actually waiting for him to land the first blow.. I wanna see wat JC n the French guy will do cz they are really fit.. Hey.. But I can take him down as well k.. hehe.. Dun look down on me k.. I pissed him off to the point where he gave up and drove us to where we wanted to go wif a long face. I was so happy then.. It was like .. ‘ arh… I finally got bk at them’ hehe.. R-E-S-P-E-C-T tats wat I got today form the others..
In the evening JC, Moti, sis n I went for a well deserved massage after 2 days of hiking.. This time I was massaged by the blind and it was not so bad.. We did the foot n whole body massage..hehe..I bargained for JC this time for him when he wanted to get a new shirt..

Day 9, 10

2006-08-27T11:44:00.001-07:00

Day 9
Sis and I slept through the morning cz we were too exhausted.. Carole ( the swiss chick tat speaks French ) woke me up and in the afternoon we had a trip to see Dr. Ho. Apparently he healed a lot of ppl.. Like the queen of Norway and others from diseases.. Carole n I went to seek treatment for our skin. She has some disease whereby her pigments lose colour from time to time.. Me?? Well Im allergic to the sun… Dr. Ho is very proud of himself la..he signs off as ‘MOST ADMIRED MAN in Google’ haih..he gave us both a few bags of herbal medicine..iv not tried it yet
After that we went to see some old town tat was ‘left untouched’ bullshit la.. Other than tat we didn’t do anything else d..

Day 10
Sis n I woke up really early so that we can sneak into a really nice garden (‘elephant mountain’ cz it looks like an elephant….duh…) for free but unfortunately we were a little too late and we had to pay so we decided not to.. It pissed me off that the locals din need to pay, they can jz walk rite in n not pay but we hafta pay.. I asked the ticket girl y so and they told me that the locals bought ’monthly pass’.. so I was like.. Show me la.. Then they said like they dunit to show cz they ’RECOGNIZE’ their face.. N im like WTV B*itch…besides we were also told of a ‘secret passage’ so to speak to get in without paying.. But we remembered wrongly, we were suppose to go the left side instead we went to the right n I saw a little trail up a muddy slope tat seem to lead inside the garden so I went in with my flip flops, it was so muddy tat it broke my flip flops NOT SMART!! And the trail leads nowhere so I came out barefooted.. Hehe.. Then it started raining cats n dogs. I was walking on puddles of water n come to think bout it its really disgusting, imagine all the 100s of ppl’s spit,shit, piss and god noes wat all collected into one small puddle.. Hehe.. Not very flattering.. We ran all the way bk to our guest house and had a super hot bath.. Whoah.. Feels damn good.. Hehe. Sent Moti off today.. L
Slept a little today, but when we woke up, it’s still drizzling, but sis n I decided not to waste time n so we went out to look at the quieter part of town n we rented A bike from mama’s n we decided to cycle to the elephant mountain again..take note.. ONE BIKE.. So I had to fetch my sis there n it was harder than running 7km.. Haha.. Mebe not.. The tyres nearly burst from the weight.. Haha.. But it held..
This time we found the way in without paying and its really ironic.. Haih.. Sucky system.. BUT!! We still had to pay again inside so of course sis n I are so stubborn we didn’t wanna pay so we walked up a flight of stairs along the mountain side then we walked into the trees out of the ppl’s view n we walked pass them.. Hehe.. We felt like crooks and we were thinking wat wud happen if we were caught..the adrenaline rush was awesome!! Better than speeding I hafta say.. Hehe.. Wats worse I had to walk in front of my sis to see if the coast is clear.. My sis’s heart was pounding.. Hehe
Inside there we found an artist that is famour for his ‘palm-painting’ whereby he only uses his palms, finger, n hands to paint..I bought a picture from him n sis bought one oso.. Hehe.. We found a place where theres a guy tat carves rocks to make as chops.. So we made one for mom.. Really expensive!! 200RMB!! But its really beautiful!! And we sat n chat wif the guy while he carves n we talked a lot.. He is actually a very smart dude. He says that nothing is perfect or rather nothing SHOULD be perfect, so when he is done carving, he will chip the sides a little to make it imperfect!! I was really amazed by him.. He even noes how to carve pictures of ppl’s faces n animals..he carved his wife, his dog n himself out.. Hehe. Very romantic..

Day 11, 12

2006-08-27T11:26:00.000-07:00

Day 11
Today would be our last day in LiJiang and we are doing our last minute shopping.. I went and made a chop for myself n viv as well…sis got one for herself as well.. She asked for a flower on her chop so he put one there lo.. I told him jokingly, if my sis has a flower then I want a butterfly lo.. Then he didn’t get my joke so when I returned to collect my chop, IT HAS A BUTTERFLY!!! I wanted to cry d.. wat a waste la..but the butterfly looks really pretty!! Hehe… IM NOT GAY!! Ok? I admire masterpiece.. Hehe..I asked for a heart to be put on viv’s chop, he carved a pear because it was used to symbolize love wor.. He kept saying tat viv is my gf n stuff la.. I was blushing man.. Hehe..
In the afternoon we went to the foot of the snow mountain and today, we get to see the snow on the mountain top, very beautiful!! I went on a glider plane ride for RM90.. Hehe.. Less than 5 mins ride up there in the sky only.. But it’s a new experience so its worth it.. Hehe.. After that we went for horseback riding, sis wasn’t enjoying it as much as I was though..
We went bk to the town and we visited the marketplace which is really huge!! I was disgusted when I saw dogs being caged ready to be slaughtered and then there was this guy that walked in front of me and saw a small fish that has jumped out of its aquarium, he stopped and stepped on it!! Then he saw my reaction when he was doin that then he continued stepping on it till the poor fish died!! It didn’t just die, it ended up in a ‘L’ shape..haih.. Wait wait wait.. that’s not all..then he picked it up and walked towards my sister and threw it right under my sister’s leg with a freaking smile on his face.. I was so pissed man..wat an ass!!
Sorrow filled my heart when it was time for us to leave mama’s.. there was this girl that helps out there that iv become quite close with became really quiet when I was bout to leave, I asked her y but she din say anything.. Il definitely remember them forever.. Hehe.. I remembered when we were leavin, mama asked me to come bk, and somehow I spontaneously told her tat il bring my kids bk to show her.. Hehe.. We laughed a lot man.. Hehe.. We took a night sleeper bus bk to Dali.. And its approximately a 8 hours ride.. It was the worse!! The company really tried their best to earn every penny out of the bus!! Imagine a bus with 4 beds in a row!! 5.5 feet long and 1.5 feet wide!! I was so cramped!! Things got worse for me.. I started having unbearable pain on my chest n I couldn’t move, couldn’t lie down n couldn’t sit down too cz it hurt a lot!! Sis was so worried bout me and she said tat if I cant take it anymore I better tell her and we would get off n see a doc.. I changed beds wif sis cz hers seems more comfortable.. But the guy next to me kept ‘crossing the line!!’ I tried pushing him bk but he didn’t budge so I faced my ass at him n released a little gas from time to time.. Haha.. What?? He left me no choice!! Hehe..the driver was goin really fast downhill and in the dark some more man.. Scary shit!!

Day 12
We reached KunMing a little earlier ahead of schedule so the bus driver let us sleep a little while longer, I found it quite cute, hehe.. Everyone sleepin on the bus.. Haha.. Then around 620 in the morning we walked around town with heavier backpacks than b4 cz of all the things we bought. We made our way to ‘the Hump’ a highly recommended backpacking place by mama. We gradually found our way there and left our baggages there while we went and do more shopping. Theres a hot girl working there too act.. But only a lil short.. Haha..
Anyways.. We asked for directions to a place where we can buy tea, and that person showed us the way to a place that specializes in selling teas.. There is tea shops EVERYWHERE!! So my sis was like, sam… which shop to go to?? Then I saw that one of the shops had a cradle outside.. So I just pointed there and said.. That one. Hehe..then we went and ended up buyin 250RMB just on tea!! Haha..I like some of the tea actually.. Din noe tat I liked them.. Haha.
Because one of our relatives are pregnant and expecting the new born soon, we tot of buyin them baby milk powder, so we went shopping again, and got 585RMB worth of powder!! Watda.. Damn expensive man.. Next time.. No babies for me la. Haha.. jkjk.. I love babies.. Hehe..we developed some of the pictures we took in out hometown so that they can keep for remembrance.
We still had some time so sis n I went bk to a street where we passed by last time we were here cause there is this particular shop tat I like very much.. They hv a shirt wif a pic of zidane head butting tat Italian ass.. But sadly, once I got there, I found out that they only hv it for girls.. F**K ‘em!! Haih.. We bought a shirt for my distant cousin too.. A shirt wif bruce lee on it.. Hehe..
The Hump is a very good chill out place for backpackers.. I especially love their shower rooms.. Hehe.. Let me tell u y..cz when u r bathin in one cubicle, u can see reflections of the person bathin nx to ur cubicle on the floor.. Haha.. Lucky enuf I am almost certain it was a girl that was bathin next to me.. Haha… *wink wink*.. Hehe..
We wanted to be safe than sorry so we went to the airport earlier than we anticipated..once on the plane, I randomly took pics of air stewardess and another air steward came and scolded me and asked me to delete the pics.. He’s so rude man.. The way he said it.. Aiyo.. Nvm la.. I had some cool turbulence on the way bk to hainan.. Only wished it wud be bigger. Haha…. Oh.. Not to forget, the baby in front of us threw up few minutes b4 landing cz of the turbulence.. Haha.. Damn cute!! Let me tell u a secret…… I stole their pillow!!!but I wanted their blanket.. Hehe… sshsHShshHhhHhhh…….

Din do anything in the morning, jz kinda slumbered at home and at the hospital, aunt was discharged today and I wanted to put fireworks, but the grandmas over there din wan us to.
