Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend xD

Yes, the title of this post is from the lyrics of Rebecca Black's Friday. Deal with it! :P

So, anywayyyy, I headed as soon as I could on Friday and I had quite a nice weekend :) Friday night, I met up with some friends I hadn't talked to in some time.

l-r: Hui Yee, Evonne, me, Melvina, Zi Xin, Eunice, Janie, Felicia, Jing Yee

Yeah yeah, we jakun people tak pernah nampak candles :P

It was fun seeing some I hadn't seen in ages, especially Eunice! She's my ah chor (x1000000000) ma, my ancestor from when I still saw her every Sunday in church xD Awww my dear ancestor has started working! *single tear* I'm so proud of my ah chor (x1000000000) ma! haha

With the great ancestor! Ah chor (x1000000000) ma! :D

On Saturday, daddy, mummy, niko and I went into Singapore. My poor koko has been working like a dog all day, everyday :( At least he didn't have to go to the hospital while we were there :) We celebrated my cousin Ming Ming's birthday over a buffet lunch in Furama (or something like that) xD

The birthday girl! :)

Oh-man-da and Ning-Ning x)

Oh, and if you read the captions, the photo on top of this says Oh-man-da and Ning-Ning. These nicknames actually came from our cousin Jayne when she was a lot younger, and she couldn't pronounce the names "Amanda" and "Ming Ming". So, instead, she would go "Oh-man-da" and "Ning-Ning". So cute! She's the baby of the family. Even now, all grown up, she's still our cute little Jayne-Jayne :D

Mummy and I with the birthday girl

Top l-r: Aunty Susan, Ah Yee Lee Hua, Ah Yee Teng2, me, Debbie, Gracie
Bottom l-r: Faith, mummy, Ming2, Joyce

The family with the birthday girl :)

Of course, no celebration is complete without girls acting cute, no? (Actually, no xD) Anyway, Joyce brought an orange hair clip in the shape of a bow, and she put it on niko's hair. This crazy bunch of people then decided to act cute for the camera xD I have to say, they're act cute can jadi leh!

Act cute? Memang cute? Crazy bunch of people?

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Buh-bye, people!!!

New Phase of My Life! :)

Hey guys!!!

I'm back in UCSI! I started my orientation for med school last week, and the orientation lasted a whole week! There was even a camp over the weekend, for us (the newbies) and our Year 2 seniors. The camp was actually really fun, so much more fun than I expected it to be!

Classes started today, and so far so good :)

My class now has students from both Foundation in Science and A-levels, and so it's quite fun, and I think the whole class is full of really interesting people, all so fun to be with! I would say this new phase of my life is starting out really nicely, and I really thank God for that. I didn't know what to expect coming here!

Of course, even with the new, we never forget the old. Today, my ex-housemates and I went out together  for lunch after we were done with our classes. We ate at a place called Village Park in Damansara Utama, where they had really nice nasi lemak. It was RM 8.00 per plate, though, so you really can't expect it to be anything bad!

l-r: Felicia, Karen, Niki, Hong Ling

Thanks to Niki for taking this picture! :)

Nasi lemakkkk!!! With ayam goreng :D

I saw somewhere on the wall in Village Park the nasi lemak there won the Best Nasi Lemak in Klang Valley or something to that effect in 2010, and I saw from some photographs there that some big-big people have eaten there!

Hong Ling was so nice, she drove all of us all the way to makan at the place, and then to her house (which is very near Village Park), and then she drove us all the way back to Cheras again! And on the way back, near UCSI, there was quite a lot of commotion because of an accident. So many kepoh people just parked their cars all over, just to see what had happened.

Being the good road-users that we are, though, we did no such thing. In fact, we were even talking about how the kepoh people were making the roads all jammed up! Of course, the Malaysian-ness coursing through our veins couldn't allow us to just walk away not knowing what the commotion was about xD

So, we ended up practising the very Malaysian kepoh culture, but of course, we parked nicely, out of the way, and walked to the big longkang everyone was gathering around. We kept going "I can't believe we're really doing this!" and "We seriously going there ar?".

At one point, we were talking about what we were going to say if someone we knew saw us and wanted to know what we were doing, and we came up with, "Oh, we're just walking to UCSI." haha walking to UCSI konon! Our classes had already ended hours ago! hahaha

Our kepoh-ness was satisfied when we saw the Waja in the longkang, with its windshield cracked but thankfully not shattered or broken to pieces. The front part of the car and the bumper wasn't as badly damaged as I would have expected it to be, seeing as the car probably broke the drain railing and fell into the big drain! The front door on the driver's side was opened, so I assume the driver was taken out from the car and brought to the hospital. I wanted to take my camera out to take a photo, but decided against it. Hong Ling took a picture of it, though!

I think I'll have to get it from her someday! It's proof of our kepoh-ness!

mwahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

God Has A Plan For My Life :)

I. Got. In.

I got accepted into UCSI's med school!

Thank You, Lord, for I know it is by Your grace and because of Your tremendous blessings that I made it. Thank You for showing me once again that this is what You want me to do with my life. I want to bring glory and honour to Your name, in every step of my life, in every thing that I do. Thank You, for I know You have a plan for my life, the perfect plan for me, a plan just for me, a plan that will prosper me. Help me to always put my trust in You, to always know that You are in control. I'm Yours, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank You, for because of what was done on the cross, I am greatly blessed, highly favoured, deeply loved. I love You, Lord! And I know that You love me even more! Wowwwwwww :D

Not everyone got good news, though, and that's bringing my excitement about making it into med school down quite a few levels :( But to my friends who didn't get good news (some are in the waiting list, some got rejected) today, I'm praying for you guys! God has a plan for You, so just trust in Him! All the best!

Though I really really really really hope all my friends get into med school with me (I want my friends with me, or med school won't be as much fun for me! Is that selfish? :S), coming to UCSI might not be what God has planned for them, maybe God has even better plans for them. Either way, I will keep praying for them! :)

Europe Trip - Leicester, Loughborough, Newcastle, Scotland

Hey guys!

So picking up where I left off, after Cambridge, we went to Leicester. There, we saw a castle! A real one! :D It was quite late though, and the castle was already closed, so we only managed to take photos outside the castle :S

Kirby Muxloe Castle

l-r: Niko, me, koko, mummy

Ohhh and I just realised I haven't posted any photos of our fridge/freezer we kept using!

The windowsill "fridge/freezer"!

The weather there was so nice and cool that all we had to do was to put the food that were supposed to be refrigerated on the windowsill to keep them chilled! It worked even with frozen food! haha!

Frozen muscles and ice-cream!

We didn't spend much time around Leicester, and after that, we headed towards Loughborough. On the way there, we got to meet up with my Ah Yee Lily and Uncle Ron for a nice Chinese buffet meal :) Chinese buffet, because we were kind of missing Chinese food, and buffet because we can eat. A lot. xD

Mummy and Aunty Lily :)

l-r: Daddy, koko, niko

We didn't really do much or spend much time in Loughborough, nor in Newcastle, before we headed towards Scotland. Before leaving for Scotland, though, we ate in a T.G.I. Friday's restaurant in Newcastle.

The prices there, after conversions, were around the same prices as in the Malaysian T.G.I. Friday's restaurants, which we thought were quite reasonable, especially if compared to the prices of the food in other restaurants in the UK! And and and, the food came in quite big portions! :)

Mummy and Daddy :)

 

 

 

We crossed to Scottish borders and went to Edinburgh for one night before heading to Glasgow :)

You can't see it, you can't feel it, but it was COLD out in the very strong wind!!! x)

The buildings and the roads and the whole feel of Edinburgh was really quite nice :) It was simply beautiful, both in the day and at night!

Somewhere in Edinburgh :)

Kor, open your eyes! xD

When we were in Edinburgh, we managed to meet up with another one of my aunties, who was also there, visiting with some friends.

The family with Ah Yee Lee Khoon

There was this one shopping complex we went to, and after parking the car, we went to look for the door leading us to the shops, and we saw this:

Erm... The shops are... up... the... ladder?

hahaha while the signposting and ladders might not have impressed me much, the views certainly did! I was crossing a road with Niko somewhere in Edinburgh, and we looked up and saw such a nice view we had to stop and take a picture of it xD

We stopped in the middle of the road to get this picture xD

The weather there was also really really nice and cool :) When the wind blew the breeze was awesome, mostly because it made everyone's hair flip so nicely everyone looked like they could film hair commercials! hahaha

I use *flip hair* any random shampoo I can find *flash smile*

Even when the wind didn't blow, the weather was still nice and cool. (I really really miss the weather!!!)

Somewhere near the Edinburgh Castle :)

Oh and of course, we couldn't leave Scotland without taking any lompat shots, so:

Edinburgh Castle LOMPATTT!!!

I just realised, looking through the pictures I took, that we didn't really do much in Glasgow, or rather, I didn't take many photos there. After Glasgow, we said goodbye to Scotland and went to Manchester :) We relied on the map we got of Great Britain a lot, and then I realised that the map was plotting to kill niko! *gasp*

Kilmacolm? Why are you trying to kill Malcolm??? NOOOOO!!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

Europe Trip - Paris and Cambridge

Hey guys!

So here I am finally picking up where I left off, and blogging about the Europe trip =D

So picking up from where I left off, we took a bullet train - Eurostar - from London to Paris. The nerds in us were really excited to be in a high-speed train! And the even bigger nerds in koko, niko and myself kept thinking of Mr Ong and his Physics tuitions in secondary school xD

It's always one of the first tuition lessons in Form 4, when Mr Ong will teach about motion. In his very cute way, he'll do an action to illustrate "uniform velocity". He'll lift his left arm out horizontally, and he'll sort of fling/wave his right hand in front of his chest, like he's trying to springkle water off his hand. He'll keep doing that while walking sideways towards his left, like he's trying to walk like a crab. Then in a very Mr Ong-ly manner, he'll say something like, "Wooooooo... Five metres per second, five metres per second. Woooooo... Five metres per second, five metres per second." Hahahahaha! And then his voice will get higher for "acceleration", and lower for "decceleration". I really don't know how to explain all these in words, but every student who has studied under Mr Ong for Physics would understand! hahaha

Anywayyyyyy, away from nerdology, and back to my holidayyyy! :) Since there were tables in the train, and koko brought decks of cards with him, we played gin rummy! =D

Train-glass-reflection family picture! :)

It was actually quite interesting to see the contrast between London and Paris. Even from inside the train, we could see the differences, the main one being GRAFFITI! Paris was fully of graffiti and other drawings all over, some of which were quite interesting, like this one drawn on a "No entry" sign:

The man trying to lift the bar up!

I thought that one was really cute and original, but then some time after that, we saw another one, even more hebat than that one! Or maybe it was the same one, upgraded xD

Wings! It grew wings! And there's a small dude on the back tyre of the bicycle xD

While I didn't really appreciate how little French people smile, I have to admit that the buildings there were really really pretty :) We even got to see Notre Dame! We tried looking for Quasimodo, but nah-uh, no luck xP

Notre Dame lompat!

I think maybe Quasimodo was a bit shy because there were so many people there. Hahaha trust us to find a fictional Disney character in a real place xD

Notre Dame family photo! :)

Of course, we couldn't go all the way to Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower, so we did! And between the 3 of us, we tried to make 3 more shorter Eiffel Towers xD

The Eiffel Tower LOMPATTTTT!!!!!! :D

The Eiffel Tower lompat is my personal favourite so far x)

Walking around that area, I was really surprised to see so many different couples and their photographers taking their wedding photos! There they were, posing in the cold weather, wearing whatever they were wearing! Some were even walking around in wedding dresses! I guess they think it's worth it, though, getting wedding pictures with some nice views. Every time I saw couples having their wedding photos taken, though, I had to resist the urge to run up to them while waving wildly, and applauding them. Ahh the random urges xD

Worth getting a cold over? Hmmm...

Eiffel Tower family photo :)

Oh, and we bought a box of macarons to try too! Final assessment: far too sweet to be eaten on a daily basis. Or anything close to a daily basis =.= They were quite nice to nibble on, though! :)

Macarons! Nom nom nom

Also, as I mentioned at the end of my last post, DISNEYLAND!!!!! One can never ever be too old for Disneyland! :D The day we chose to go there, though, was a National public holiday there, so there were a lot of people there :S

Disneyland Paris

Yayyyy!!! It was a fun place to visit, but it is definitely too big a place to finish in one day, especially with so many other people around!

Disneyland lompat! :D

One thing that was really cute was seeing so many little girls wearing the costumes of all the different Disney princesses x)

Mommy! My prince is waiting for me! He's that way!

Oh, we also saw a pink Disney palace! Did I mention that I live there? Yup, that's my house! I'm not one to brag, though, so I've been keeping it quite low profile :P (hahaha syiok sendiri xD)

Niko, dad, mum and koko with my palace in the background

Tadaa! My palace x)

Wait! Something's not right. It's pink! Oh no!!! The painter got the colours all wrong! I didn't ask my painter to repaint my castle pink! Pink is a terrible colour! I specifically told my painter FUCHSIA COLOUR!!! This is unacceptable! That's it! I'm going to demand a refund and I'm going to fire that painter of mine! Tsk tsk tsk such incompetence! (Still syiok sendiri, lol xD)

After Paris, we went back across the border, and we went to Cambridge. That was nice because we got to meet up with Joshua and Uncle Teik Choon's family :) Joshua showed us around his campus and places aroud there, as well as told us which grass we could step on and which we weren't supposed to. Apparently even grass is divided into first class and second class, and only fellows are allowed to step on the "respectable grass" xD hahahaha!

l-r: me, mum, dad, Josh, kor

To my inexperienced eyes, the "respectable" grass and the grass that can be stepped on all looked exactly the same. I even wanted to try stepping on the grass not to be stepped on, just to see what would happen. But then I thought that I better not, or I might get Joshua kicked out of Cambridge xD

l-r: me, mum, niko, Josh, kor

Cambridge put-camera-on-bridge-and-set-timer group photo! x)

We also visited one of mummy's ex-students and his family :) They were really nice and even prepared us a whole big meal of Chinese food, anticipating that we would miss food we usually eat back home!

l-r: me, mummy, Aunty Mei, Uncle Teik Choon, dad, kor

After Cambridge, we went to Leicester. I'm leaving that till the next post! :)

Okay, and just for fun, here are 2 photos. One has "respectable" grass, and one has "normal" grass. I THINK I remember which is which, but I'm not too sure xDDD

Mum and myself in front grass that can be stepped on (I think) xD

Koko and "respectable" grass (I think) xD

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!
