Cuti-Convo-Aquaria-Farah-Kinokuniya

Wow... time sure flies... so fast and it's already been a while since my last post. Actually a lot of things happened lately... but I most probably am not going to write every single thing.

Me and Val Dapat CutiYeah, I know, it's like a miracle... we BOTH got a day off on the same day... (somethign I thought was technically impossible for the company to allow). Well, of course we appreciate it. Time to reenergize and catch up on sleep... So woke up late that day. Spent the off day wisely. Was going to meet up with Val later on, but first, sent the 155 to Alfatech Supplies to change the side mirror. Bloody expensive, because it was a "night vision" glass piece and included installation, which wasn't exactly a "take and paste" process... Also got a haircut (finally) and it's been 2 months! Yeah, I never got any off days and we finish rather late, so no time to have a haircut... (pretty good eh, time well spent...) Cleaned up the 155 too before going to fetch Val at her church.

Friends' Convocation
Managed to find the church in Subang (miraculously... ) and we set off to Limkokwing. (Do I need to mention the numerous road challengers I smoked on the way? OK too late, mentioned already...) Raced with high velocity, managed to reach just a lil late (they've all finished receiving their degrees, now mingling and makanning). Amazingly LUCT now has outside parking... really babi. If not I'd saved up on all the 50s I spent on monthly parking... OK, met up with Bee Wee, who looked so pretty with all her make up and dressing, but she was in a rush with her family, so It was merely a hi-congratulations-how are you doing-are you working-see you-bye sort of thing... Hope to meet up with her someday as a friends reunion or something... There was Aliya too, but also a hi-bye sorta thing... everyone seems to be rushing! Then finally met Joe Joe and Lai Ping... wah, she looked so happy, with all the dressing and make up (Lai Ping la of course). Joe refused to take off his robe... lol, I understand, I was like him on our graduation day too. Met Jin Fei after that, who was sooo well dressed, with complete blazer and suit. Nita was also there, with her special someone (ehem...) and all nicely dressed too, with make-up, a bouquet of flowers and a teddy bear. Chit chatted with them a bit, passed them each some Fererro Rocher and took a few photos... Was great, and even Ero joined in on us when we were shooting. Val has her hands behind her back most of the time because of a bag she's holding... (I should have taken it from her, my mistake...) So happy for them to have finally made it, because as friends, I just wanted them to experience it just as they would if they had graduated with us. It was all joys and laughter that day, and Joe and Jin Fei had to leave after that, because of family and personal reasons.

Dinner and Chit-ChatWe convoyed to IOI Mall for dinner, actually only Nita and bf joined us... with Sio Chin and bf joining after that. Went Secret Recepi, memang sedap. (OK la, me and Val went earlier and did some minor shopping because Nitt had to send her dad's Pajero home). After that got cake summore... so nice. Chat non-stop, about our jobs la, how our lives have been, etc... Boy we sure had a lotta stories to tell... All the way till almost midnight. Maybe one day the friend reunion thing would work out and we could all meet up? That'd be fun!

Aquaria? A Queue Yeah?
Went with the family on Sunday to try out Aquaria... was sooo looking forward to it. Haven't seen Sand Tiger Sharks (aka Grey Nurse Sharks, often not used because the former sounds more garang) since our trip to Melbourne 6 years ago... These sharks are actually docile and gentle creatures, it's just that God gave them that fierce look. He..he... their sharp pointy teeth would break if they tried to bite a human. But of course the typical mentality of Malaysians is to fear any of the 300+ species of shark in existance and relate it to the Great White, the famous star of Jaws. OK, back to Aquaria, imagine the disappointment of arriving at the tunnel leading to the KL Convention Center and finding out the queue to the ticket counter is 2 hours from here. I was like, "Huh? are you sure? 2 JAM?" So we had to give it up... Went around because my bro wanted to get a pair of earphones... I went surveying for and MP3 player (Samsung Yepp), but then thought about it back, it's more of a 'want' and not a 'need'. Well, decided to save money la for now... Was a good day, despite no Aquaria... Let the crowd and typical Malaysian jakun-ness die down first. Most new places in Malaysia experience that. Anyone remember how 1Utama, Mid Valley Megamall and Times Square started out?

Poor Farah
Well, Farah's in the bottom 3 again... what is Malaysia doing? Voting out of sheer fanaticism ke? I mean, come on... Faizull was horrible that day! Daniel wasn't too good either, but all got top votes... Apani... Farah's rendition of Alanis Morissette's song was nice, altho a lil off at some points, but you could see it was definitely better than Faizull and Daniel's. Nita was also a lil off that day, but Ash is steadily improving... aikk... I hope she can make it through at least to the last 3. Then it's an all-out battle! Go go Farah! May the votes be with you... (mine included)

Book Return
Finally managed to return the book Val bought mistakenly to Kinokuniya on Monday (dapat finish early! Yaayy...)... And so glad they allowed us to exchange with other books. So we exchange it for a couple of manga and cookbooks... lol... Did some shopping again, for someone... lol... Saw BoA's latest album "Girl's on Top" in Tower Records... but my heart just couldn't buy it, due to recent spending on other necessities... Maybe sometime soon... he..he... Val's Amy CD also not yet out... So we ended up buying buns on our way home (for the family...).

Ok, I was 'supposed' to not write much, but was in the mood, so... lol...
That's all for now,

PEACE and God Bless,
