Me, Hex and Keina have always talked about going karaoke since we found out that we shared the same passion for it. So, yday after their Malaysian Studies paper, we went karaoke in Ipoh.

But of course, what’s a girls’ night out without a shopping spree?

Body Shop is having a sale in Jusco, and my darling sister has been asking me to get her some stuff in BS. And so we went there, and oh gosh, the shop was packed! The sale started on Thursday but on Fri, most of the stuff are gone!

Like the Mango Body Lotion. And the pot lip gloss of my colour.

Aigoo. So I’ll just make do with what they have left lahh.. I got my sister the Strawberry Body Lotion, which only cost RM28 after a 30% discount and myself a pot lip gloss for RM22, originally RM35! SO SHIOK CAN DIE!

Hex and Keina have their share of shopping in BS and Vincci.. And after I left Guardian, I was RM70 poorer. Not wanting to shop more, we left after that for karaoke. Thing is, I don’t really know how to get there. Based on the “knowledge” from Leesh and Daarsh that it’s around Pizza Hut, we left in search for the karaoke.

And oh well, we got lost. So I called Leesh.

Me: How to get to this K-Box?
Leesh: Get to the main road and you’ll see it.. it’s facing the main road.
Clement from the back: Ask her to meet us in 1-UTAMA!!
Me: Oh shaddap lah.

Haha.. After 20 mins of searching, we finally found! And it’s not K-Box, it’s actually called E-Box. So I parked the car and we went into the building. The receiptionist intro us a package for RM88++, with 2 bottles of sparkling juice, 2 jugs of drinks and 2 tidbits and 1 platter of fruits.

WUAAAH! Nice lehhh … so we took it and went in. And so we sang. Oh boy, we really DO SING!

Some of the many songs we sang.
- Celine Dion -> Because of You, I’m Your Angel, Beauty and The Beast
- Kelly Clarkson -> Breakaway, Because of You, A Moment Like This
- S Club 7 -> Bring It All Back, You’re MY Number One
- Backstreet Boys -> Drowning, Shape of My Heart, As Long As I Love You, Everybody, Get Down
- Bon Jovi -> Always, You Give Love A Bad Name
- Spice Girls -> Wannabe, 2 Become 1, Viva Forever (I can’t get over how cheesy their video clips are!!)

Hexi and Keina sang Celine Dion’s songs, which according to them, it’s a routine. Haha. And of cuz, neither of us can reach Dion’s top notes… We make do wif “screaming” as loud as possible.. hehehehe.. I didn’t dare to venture to songs like Beyonce and Eminem… But I bet if Haliff is around, he’ll make us sing it, like it or not. Hehe.

We have 6 hours all to ourselves.. 3 girls, 6 hours, 4 jugs of drinks.. I think u can bet how much we sang, how many songs we danced to! Oh and how many times Keina got lost when going toilet! Hehehehe.. Poor gal! The second time she got lost, she actually had the E-box assistant to guide her back. ^_^

By 1 am, the air cond has become SO cold! So me and Keina started jumping + dancing around to Backstreet Boys so that we can lose the chillness in our body. And shortly after that, Hex oso joined us.. hehehe.

I’ve truly enjoyed myself last nite.. despite having the annoying E-Box assistants peeping into our room and occasional annoyance of the stupid remote control. Plus E-Box have no new, latest songs in their list! The only latest song we found is Orson – No Tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll improve la… cuz there’s a possiblity that I’ll make another trip there in the future! ^_^

I can build high expectations very fast…. and I can get disillusioned very fast too.

I dream a lot but my dreams are way beyond reality. It shall always stay as… a dream.

I tend to stammer when I’m nervous.. it just gets worse when I’m verbally attacked during presentations.

I find it hard to say thank you and sorry.. not that I’m ungrateful or unapologetic, I just can’t get the words out of my mouth. Sometimes when I do, it sounds fake.

I am very fickle-minded. Just today I changed my mind hundreds of time about going to the saloon!

I don’t like to be alone when doing anything. If I’m alone, I rather stay in the room. I’m also very unproductive alone. Can’t seem to get anything done alone.

I don’t like people talking bad abt me, whether it’s behind me or to my face. I know I’m not perfect and we cannot control people’s mouth, but I just don’t like it.

I am fastidious about my appearance. I am, after all, a girl.

Song of the moment – Damien Rice – Delicate

With any luck next year

I’ll be going out with one of these girls

-insert some hot gals pics-

But for now,

let me say

without any hope or agenda

Just because it’s Christmas

(And at Christmas you tell the truth)

To me,

you are perfect

And my wasted heart will love you

until you look like this

-insert some dried mummy pic-

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Was watching Love Actually at 8 am in the morning.. and when i reached the scene where Mark comes up to Juliet’s home, saying these sweet words (as above).. I started smiling and tearing.. awwwwwwwww… that’s SO sweet!!!

I heart Love Actually!

Recently I’ve been having lots of sleepless night..I’m not a big fan of being nocturnal, after being trained during the eight months of internship to be able to sleep early and wake up early.. However with loads of unfinished projects ahead of me, it is really a horror to have to stay up at night continuously, sleeping only at 6 am to wake up at 11 am the same day and persistently staring at the same old monitor and hitting furiously at the keyboard, hoping to be able to produce a somehow exeptional presentation.

The ultimate was during FYP Presentation yesterday. I’ve started working on my prototype at 10pm, straight until the next morning, without a wink of sleep!

At 2am in the morning,
Me: I’m so screwed for FYP!!
Hexi: I’m not gonna sleep! I’ll buzz you every hour, so if I don’t, pls miss call me till I answer.
Me: Ok! Same!

At 4am in the morning.
Mrs Li : qihua, nak pinjam credit to sms…
Me: Eh, u not gonna sleep?
Mrs Li: Looks like so…

At 6am in the morning.
Me: I’M SOOOOOOOO SLEEPY!
My sis: KENOT!!!!

And thus I’ve stayed up all night.. FYP presntation totally sucks with my supervisor taking MC without informing us and another lecturer with the same name as the hawt Shakira took over! This lady… omg.. no joke man! Armed with an armfull of ammunition, she kept shooting at the first girl that presented. Everyone got shot left and right, top and bottom! Oh screw her, man!

Here are some pics I took after some serious bafflement at working in my projects..

Dusk at UTP
evening in utp

Dawn at UTP

1 hour later after 2nd pic was taken.. Getting ready for FYP presenation.. oh look at my eyes, it’s red and swollen!
before FYP

And HOOOOORAY! FYP I Presentation = finito!
After FYP

The side effect of all this is, now my brain cannot function in the mornings! It’s totally fucked up now, and this evening I just spent my day sprawling at bed. And NOW at 9.30pm, I’m totally awake..! Oh well, it’s good anyways… since I’ve to finish up my Interim report to pass it up tomoro.. :)

Gambatteyo!~! ^_^

With ABAP project dued last Fri, ADBS project due today at 2.30pm, FYP presentation tomoro and Interim Report dueing on Thurs….

I ACTUALLY MISS MY SNOOZE SNOOZE SO MUCH!!!

Due to all this fucking reports and presentations, I’ve been sleeping for a maximum 4-5 hours per day. And some ocassional “tou lan” siesta in between, which usually didn’t end well, cuz I’ll be too worried to sleep.

Ok, back to work!

How many times when you say something wrong or not quite right, and your friend retaliates submissively, showing certain body language that makes you feel bad about it?

Perhaps you’re reading between the lines too much?

And maybe it’s not even your mistake. Perhaps your friend is having a bad day and maybe you just accidentally add oil to fire.

But for all you know after a good night’s sleep and maybe a heart-to-heart talk will just do you good.

One good advice from my sister — “Nah, don’t bother!”
