Earth Hour + Sou's Belated Birthday Celebration!

*switch off lights* Argh!! I can't see what I'm typing!! *typed gibberish, erases and retype much later* @@ *stretches and starts to think of what to type* Zzzzz....

Once upon a time, in a nice polluted blue green planet...actually, I just drove to Bernice's house, picked her up and headed down to Capsquare. HAHAHAH!! It's a fairly new place. I can estimate 99.5% of Malaysia's population have no idea about the place. (Note: Estimations are based on personal judgements. Please don't trust it. It is 200% inaccurate) Eh..the bazaar wasn't huge and there weren't many people around, though I think it would be rather packed at night during Earth Hour.

Before strolling at the bazaar, we paid a visit to Bernice's dad's work place. A splendid clinic with an amazingly good looking door for the JANITOR's room!! *shock* A neat place really but I don't think I'll go there. Looks too expensive. Hahaha. At the bazaar, met Suan (from Kendo) at the WWF booth. Seriously, those t-shirts were cute. If only they weren't expensive. >.< *recalls Panda t-shirt, sighs* T.T The shawl in another booth was pretty too but it was RM100 after discount. Uuuuu... T.T

Within the main building, there was like...an art exhibition? Lotsa interestingly creative pieces but unfortunately, for someone like me who doesn't know how to appreciate certain arts, I felt bored. Don't sue me. >.< The food at Betty's was good though I find it amusing that the first thing that catches my sight on my plate are the mushrooms and not the prawns since my meal was 'Spicy PRAWN Olio'. Hahahahah!

We left after that. Dropped Bernice back home and me off for my next appointment (waiseh..sound like so busy. xD). Picked up WW (yeah, I sound like some pick-up truck. Hahah =p) and headed to Sunway Pyramid. There we (satu gang la. Not only me and WW, not so romantic lor. xD) celebrated Sou's belated birthday (the fonts are green 'coz the theme we had was green) and Earth Hour~! xD

We were walking aimlessly although me, WW and June were really trying to plan about the birthday cake for Sou. So there were many times where we looked seriously sneaky, not to mention June's SPECIAL water (Just another mineral water bottle with a rare brand name). xD Then Alin got caught into our plans too. Later we got seperated. Me, Alin and WW went cake hunting and finally it was decided, we bought...J.Co doughtnuts as a substitute. *grins* Those sweet 'lil things.. ;p

Met up with the rest at 'Forever 21' where we made Sou try on whatever we picked out for her. Unfortunately, she wouldn't let us see her in the piece June picked. xD But June ended up trying that piece herself. Looks...wow... @@ To be honest, not good.. xD Too old for the food-loving child. ;) We spent time there until dinner time. Dinner was served~ at Gasoline. A restaurant with an interesting concept which I don't really fancy unfortunately, though the food was ok. Hey, I don't like dark places. xp And yes, I'm picky. >.>

Earth Hour...we didn't see the starting of the ceremony but some of us got some 'glow-in-the-dark' lights and joined the crowd for a bit. Not too long after, some left to go home and some left to go arcade (including me xp). Hhahahaa! So supportive. Aihs.. But but...me and WW were really itching to release some stress. So.. heheheh.. *excuse excuse cough* <.<>.>

On an overall...I think it's a good start. You rarely have events that would rally global unity. =) Well done!

Once in a Blue Moon~

A rare day today I would say.. Yesterday too although not as much as today. What did I do? Read on..

Yesterday yesterday yesterday...I dropped my car off at my dad's place early morning. Went to Nirvana Memorial Park in Nilai with my dad's side of the family to pray to my late grandfather and great grandmother. It's been a long time since I'd been there. The place is a rather nice place actually. In fact, the first time I saw the place it was as good as going for a relaxing holiday. Hahahahahha! (Hey, they have to make the place peaceful for slumber, if ya know what I mean.)

Then we headed off to...some place where parking is hard to find (yes, I know. It's an excellant description that doesn't help you find the place. xp) and had lunch. It was...Bah Kut Teh... = ='ll So healthy... Sigh.. But that's what my dad likes to eat so, oh well. =x (Not to say I don't like it but but...it's....just not healthy, no? >.<)

After lunch, we headed back to my dad's apartment and...we spent about an hour trying to open his apartment's main door (He locked himself out earlier). = ='ll It sure takes patience and strenght to open the door unprofessionally (use a card to pry open the latch) and we managed to do it just before the locksmith arrived. Hahahaha. My dad and his gf actually gave up on the door much earlier but I just wanted to keep trying. Hey, you don't get to open doors that way everyday. ;p

Ah yes, it was also the first time I officially visited my dad's apartment (the unofficial one was when the apartment lacked furniture. xp). I had mixed feelings about the visit... First, horror...on the lack of cleanliness. Second, irony...the excess dirt against expensive furniture (I found mold in the piano bench. T.T). Third, awe...at the wonderful yet simple kitchen (you can't really cook in it actually since it has no stove of all sorts and the fridge is 98% empty). Lastly, nostalgia...well, he did use many furniture from the previous house. But the first impression still overrules the others. >.<'lll

The rest of the day was nothing much. Just went out with my mom, got home late and suddenly remembered that I'd not done my homework. = = So I ended up sleeping late and got up ALMOST late (oddly I reached school much earlier as compared to other days. Oo'll). And so we began today...

Hm...it was a rather cooling day, the weather I mean. And it somehow set a relaxing mood for the entire day. Yes, something you don't get very often in the city. I went for class and left immediately after that. Went home for lunch and rested abit.

Left the house again with mom to a small warehouse sale in Bangsar. Got some shirts after much rummaging (the lady didn't sort the clothes really well and the place was small). My, I should salute the lady there. At her age (assuming retiring age), she wears much more groovy stuff as compared to youngsters. *jawdrop* Geng..

Next stop was Mid Valley. Mom left the car to wash and we walked around tiredly looking for food. And...we ended up in Red Box for the next few hours. Yes! Imagine that! Me going for karaoke. How rare! Hahahah! But the deal was good. You get to sing off tune and eat too. =p The queer day's happiness lasted until here 'coz the next thing ruined my mood for the rest of the night although it didn't ruin the day totally.

Mom went to meet a friend at CoffeeBean as that friend wanted to show her his daughter. I was in the mood to shop for books and was looking around in MPH. I had a book in my hand that I wanted to buy and was looking at another that I was contemplating the purchase. Then my mom called my handphone asking me to come out and see the little girl. I absentmindedly walked out of MPH looking for my mom, still on the phone and HOLDING THE BOOK. Voila! The security guards came after me and thought I was attempting to steal the book.

I wasn't even paying enough attention to even notice the guard beside me requesting back for the book until seconds later. Even then, I just hand the book over and was about to walk off to meet my mom. But...the security guard insisted I follow to a back room to receive what seems to be a disciplinary act. My mom followed too since she saw what happened. Signed some form that says I won't repeat the act again, blah blah blah... And I still bought the book, although with a less satisfactory feeling now. Sigh..

So yes, that's what happened today.

Melaka Trip

Ahh..the melancholic tranquility, thanks to the wonderful melodies of my winamp playlist and sound of raindrops outside the window, supported by the dimmed lights of the day. A perfect mood for 'yum cha'. Unfortunately I'm stuck at home (self-ground) 'coz I'm suppose to be studying for next week's test. Yeah..look at what I'm doing now..blogging. xD Sai hei..

Woke quite late today, taking time to recover energy from a day trip yesterday. Went to Melaka with Kar Yee, Jackson, Bibi and Sarah. =) Chooi Yee couldn't join us for personal reasons. =x We just sorta impromptu planned the trip last week and 'Ok! Let's go!'. xD Unfortunately it didn't turn out as expected, probably due to poor planning? T.T


Then again, sleeping over at Kar Yee's place the night before was REALLY REALLY unexpected..I couldn't sleep well. (But the last round I could sleep nicely!! Why?! T.T) Most likely due to the fact that we laughed so hard before sleeping thanks to Sarah's nonsense and irritating hyena-like laugh. (If the neighbours didn't wake, I'm surprised. lol xp) And we were suppose to wake around 7+. (Someone even said 6am oh..but woke only at what time after dunno how many rounds of alarm rings ah? *hint hint*) I slept only around 3-4am. = =


Left the house around 8+. The worse thing...while driving, my stomach was threatening to complain. >.<'ll (KY, that's why I went to the toilet so long at the rest area) Besides that, the drive was like a cruise down south, complimented with nice songs tracks. lol =p Apparently, driving requires concentration so I didn't know how tired I was until KY took over the wheel back to KL. lol


*replays scene*

Get on car...few minutes later..
"Kar Yee, you drive la. I sleep." Zzzzzzzz...
LOL LOL Adoi... =p

The trip on overall was rather uneventful. We visited St Peter's Church, St Francis Xavier's Church (pretty place =) ), Jonker Street (the Chicken Rice Balls were cute xD) and Christ Church (just outside around the fountain and flowers).


At Jonker Street, bought some food stuff here and there. The games they sold there like Uno cards were horribly cheap!!! Not even RM5. I could have bought them and sold them back in KL for a profit. *shock* But they don't have what I want so I didn't get any. Hehehe


Sat on the Eye on Malaysia, Melaka. I was rather amused with their pricing. I read RM20 per adult but they charged us RM8 per person. How do you get to that amount? First..proof you're a student, they'll charge RM16. Second..proof you're Malaysian. You get half price. So half of RM16 = RM8. xD xD xD Adoi.. Same thing with the Menara Taming Sari (you get to see Melaka at dunno how many feet high..sorry, wasn't concentrating to what the lady said. xp). You proof you're Malaysian and they charge you half the price of the original. So RM10/2 = RM5. xD


But the rides were rather boring I think though I was trying hard not to be amused by the girls. (Psst...they're afraid of heights.) So after that, we went off to Port Dickson. Yeah, Kar Yee wanted to see the sunset. Unfortunately the Blue Lagoon was under construction, so we went to another side of the beach...just to find out that....the sun sets on the other side. xD (Actually...come to think of it..it was on the right side..so silly. But by the time the sun sets, their mothers would be calling their handphones already. xD xD)


So we rested a bit and left for dinner nearby at some random shop. Oddly, I find that people there seem rather reluctant to speak Cantonese so I had a whole day of good Mandarin-speaking practise. x.x Oh..should have seen the fried sotong we ordered. It wasn't the normal fried sotong where they use the normal sotongs. They used baby sotongs. They weren't properly cleaned and if I assume correct, those two black dots on each sotong are eyes! Couldn't tell since there was no specific crunchy-ness or anything hard at all. So....*looks away and just pops them into mouth and chew* trick is to not look at the sotongs. LOL


After dinner, we went home. Phew.. lol =p
