Im back home! Planned to leave at 9am but since I was driving alone I didn't have to worry about being punctual =P So I took my own sweet time and packed my stuff. Mostly dirty laundry (bedsheets etc.), my books (test and FINALS coming soon!) and of course my laptop! Before I could head for Ipoh I had to go to 1U and get something from a friend who helped buy something for my sister. I took around 45 mins to get there! There were alot of cars on the road! And then I wasn't sure where the entrance to the curve is so I went round the place twice before being able to tell my friend where I was! Hmmm...my superb navigating skills have somehow been reduced these few days! At least I wasn't too far off the destination ;) Reached home at around 1pm and I've been doing nothing useful ever since! Gotta clean the car sometime soon!
Driving on the highway is so...sad...why? 1. The road sucks (okok so its not like Germany's Autobahn) 2. There's a speed limit 3. No nice cars on the road to admire 4. Must pay toll At least there's greenery to see....haha!
Anyway I don't drive that fast on the highway...must drive fuel efficiently! So I usually average around 100km/h...except for the occasional overtaking...which sometimes can be abit too fast =P
In KL? To be honest I think you don't get lost in KL, you just take extra long to get to your destination because you sometimes go round in circles only to find that your destination was "just over there!!" hahaha...okok im just crapping again!
Hmmm...so I drove to KL today (ok, Jalan Raja Chulan to be precise) to meet up with the Uncle (he calls me 'aunty'!! i know la i look old...) whose wife is the previous owner of my Citroen ZX. Left uni at almost 12pm (should have left earlier - class ended 1 hour early!) and then went towards the city center. I thought I could make it without properly analyzing the map cause I'll just follow the road signs. Bad idea. Cause I was correct about 3/4 through, and then I decided maybe I should turn left somewhere and ended up going round Pavilion. Which is SO near my destination. Gah! With so many traffic lights + cars + people all I could think of is: where is this elusive building??!! So after wasting around 30 mins going round and then figuring out the building and how to get to the carpark I reached my destination. Anyway, I was late but I had fun talking to Uncle S (that's his new name!) and his friend M. Most of the time the conversation was about cars. VW cars actually. That's how they got to know each other. All the people who are crazy about VWs get together and go places, chat about their cars and i guess whatever else car enthusiasts do! So there I was listening to car crazy people talk. They're really nice people, I wish I knew more about cars then I can actually contribute to the conversation! At the moment, all I know about cars are from Top Gear and the occasional interesting article found on the web....hmmm...Somewhere in between the word 'boyfriend' was uttered and i was like "whaaa? I don't have one la ok!!" Besides, I'm still young! *cough cough* At the moment I'm just admiring other people's wedding pics! =P Everyone asks that question nowadays...especially the aunties and uncles...sighh...anyway hope to hangout with Uncle S again sometime =)

I read an article somewhere that said people were much happier those days. Why? They might not have the comforts or technology that we have now, but they were generally happier because they did not have much choice. What brand of soap to buy? No need to think - there's only one brand (or 2 or 3, im just giving an example) But today? With so much advertising and so many choices to choose from, people are stressed. They make a choice, but later they worry on whether they made the right choice. So its so much easier when you don't have a choice right? I mean you can complain but at the end of the day you're happier than if you made a choice and are constantly worried. Am I making any sense here?
Going back for the week!! Woohoo! But I think I hafta catch up on my FYP...hmmm...

Anyway last Wednesday night we had a Night Walk in FRIM. It was ok, I guess I'm used to more adventurous stuff so it was so-so. There was also drama in the dark in the forest...wahahah! Some of you know what i mean =P The forest canopy is really beautiful! Can only be found in FRIM and Papua New Guinea. Curi some pics from other ppl's blog =P (Cause at night when I tried to take a pic it was all black!) We did learn quite a few things and i guess the guides use the same script with every tour group because the blog (http://al02.blogspot.com/2007/08/frim-and-fireworks.html) i curi the pic from wrote the same stuff we learned! hahaha!
Once you hurt/injure/break something you can never fix it back 100%. It will still hurt, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. What am I talking about? my foot! yeah my stupid left foot has been aching on and off since I sprained it last Christmas Night. Makes me feel so old...when I add that with my backache (I cant stand for too long cause I have a crooked backbone :S)
Last Saturday night we went to Stepping Stones Living Center "10th Anniversary & Thanksgiving Dinner". Stepping Stones is a shelter for kids and now they house around 110 kids!! They have really grown and are planning to move to a massive new building in Nilai so donations are welcome! This year for Christmas Night (22 Dec 08) we're gonna have a performance by the kids and we'll be collecting donations for them! So if you wanna donate you can contact me. JD bought a table so 10 of us went to show our support (and makan, of course). It was held at the HGH Convention Center in Sentul, which seems to be the happening place to have functions these days! Some pics with the celebs!
We are actually on stage and Jaclyn Victor was singing! - we are such posers!!

Last weekend we had CF camp in Penang, so I wasn't here to celebrate Merdeka. Don't even know how it was celebrated anywhere..that's how out of touch with news i was. I still am. I don't bother reading the paper these days cause I dunno how much of it is true anyway. This whole week I was catching up with sleep and doing assignments and reports and trying to study for a test. So I've been pretty busy. So busy in fact that I was in denial.
I dunno what I did or didn't do last week so im sorry if i caused anyone any pain. It must have been a pretty major thing considering I had a new explicit name.
Was supposed to go lowyat then suddenly my car battery died. Sigh. Just my luck I guess...everything's dying here...first my ext HDD, then my car battery....
It's the third week d! Still lazing around as usual....that's the problem when classes start at 3pm everyday! hahahaha....wasteeee!!
Managed to go jogging today. For the first time in history so many ppl I know passed by when I was jogging today! So the lesson learnt is not to jog on monday evenings before 6pm =P And also everyone else super semangat wanna go jogging...hahaha...hmmm...
Nothing else to say for now..but stress la go for Bible Study. Kena target by Uncle PP....hahaha..haihh...
Hmmm...got a few other things to blog about but I'll save it for when I DON"T HAVE TO GO TO WORK!! Muahahahahaha! Tomorrow's my last day!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I just love this song!! Hehehe...possibly because of the French references =P
A girl. Active imagination. Always hungry. Loves classical music. Loves chocolates. Loves movies. Loves mystery books. Enjoys playing the piano. Wishes she could play the violin. Some say she's a PC freak. She begs to differ. She's just fascinated by the internet and what it can do. She's the PC technician within her 10-m radius.
