Screamed at Genting!

*this is a delayed post*

the thought of going to genting has actually been in mind since... the first sem break. but it only finally worked on the 17th of August, and that also not everyone could make it. so it was a happy-four-persons trip :) Janice, Shin Hui, Su Ann and i.


decided to depart from 1U's bus terminal. sadly, the tickets for the 9am slot were already sold out by the time we reached. so waited there for the 10am bus. spent an hour feeling all excited while we had our breakfast - sandwiches prepared by AnnAnn's mommy thank you aunty!!


with all the talking and laughing and taking pictures, an hour passed sooner than we thought. i wonder why, the bus we took was full with elderlies, all old men and women with white or grey or no hair. we were like the only teenagers there and obviously we were the ones making most noise *shyshy* tried to control but laughters are just hard to be held back :D


we saw an accident involving a lorry in the journey! scary~ then vroom vroom vroom... we saw cars, trees, and more trees, then we began to feel the pressure in our ears, also known as 'air bubble' by Su Ann X) and very soon, we're there ready to take the cable car up!


In the cable car...
janice and shin hui ^^


su ann and me ^^


Huihui has phobia to heights, so she was afraid of looking out X)

almost reaching....


we were quite lost at first, the crowd at the lobby was whoah. alot of people everywhere. we then got ourselves registered at the counter, got a number and left the luggages at the bell counter. this is my first time dealing with all this with friends :) quite a good experience...

First World Hotel,

and this would be our room :) -13 784.
view from the room...



see, it was so foggy! so cooling so nice!!


then of course we couldn't wait any longer, bought our tickets and went for the outdoor theme park immediately :D

our first ride, some call it umbrella, i think it's mushroom. well, it was just okay... not chee-gek enough! OHHH, notice that tall tower-like thing beside, it's Space Shot!! and Su Ann was so upset+disappointed because it was closed for maintenance on that day >< and it wasted my effort of deciding whether to go for it or not. Hoe Yan said it's a ride that can cause nervous breakdown XD ahh, i wasn't even given the chance to choose anyways. NO space shot for the day...

so we went from talking about space shot to lining up for the boat ride XD Omg, it was fUnNy!

The yellow boat we picked was quite handicapped! it kept going out of control and would only go left left and left, so we were basically turning round and round in circles X) had to paddle so hard until leg pain! :P


Shin Hui & Janiceee in their cool green boat! :D they helped us get back to the dock. heeh :)

after the tiring boat ride, we went for some roller coasters like cyclone, the dragon, mine train, flume ride, pirate ship and more. okay these are not in correct order, because i have problem recalling the exact sequence of what we did X)

ooh, a picture taken by an uncle from hong kong ;) we could tell from the way he speaks cantonese.

then some time in between it started raining... so we had to walk along the sheltered path back to the hotel.

see the wet floor? the drip drip drop from the rain~~~


and at that time, we already left our bags, purse=money, and everything else in one of the lockers at the outdoor theme park. fortunately, Hui Hui has this habit of keeping her money everywhere, in the pockets of her pants, in her spectacle case, in her bag... so we still had around RM40+ to spend for lunch X) everyhting seemed pretty expensive up there. went for the very cute Marrybrown in the end ...

uugh, and right behind the restaurant, there's this merry-go-round with a very loud and (i don't know how to describe) music it really got stucked in my head after we're done *.*



another group picture with the Energizer boy ;D

and ya, when the very BRAVE Su Ann & Janice went for Cockscrew, the not-so-brave Hui & i played with vroom vroom XD

OH, Shin Hui can drive really well! don't mess with her!!! XD i shall not elaborate further on this...
another ride! we went for the Flying Coaster also. the superman thing where u lie down. i closed my eyes the whole way, it felt like a nightmare, as if i was in a tornado! next to me, was Shin Hui. she couldn't grip properly so it was very scary for her and she T.T the people queueing were slightly worried, asked us if it's dangerous and blablabla XD

before we left the outdoor theme park, took a picture of the map. with AnnAnn :)

and ermm, the person who took this picture for us suggested the pose and we followed XD

another worker took this for us, an artistic shot he claimed. not bad ;)

at night, went for the 4D motion master thing. haha Shin Hui XP

look at the thick foggg~ so cold~~!!!!

this is AnnAnn's very the cute pink socks with bear bear on it XD

and in the lift. we were the only ones in the lift...

even later at night, or nearly morning, had a serious chit chat time at starbucks. more talking, more feelings, more emotions pouring out. and the starbucks lady actually said four of us look alike! O.O haha. she was too bored of making coffee i guess X)
after we left starbucks, still didn't feel like sleeping. so went walking around, hunting for a nice spot where we can just sit and talk more. with the thought of getting some fresh cold breeze, we went and sat outside of the hotel. before we could even do anything, the security guards opposite us took out a camera and wanted to take our picture! O.O people at genting act strangely at night! of course, we left straight away!!

went in and sat somewhere at a bench near the entrance... as the clock ticks, our eyes slowly gave up... so sleepyyy~ until we had to return to the room and wash up before we lie flat on the bed. but then this Hui Hui insisted on playing with cards XD so we played a few rounds... and deesh, went into our sweet dreams...

next morning, initial plan to wake up early failed, not entirely. but we managed to wake up only a lil later. went for breakfast...

the one who insisted on playing cards and not sleep, see what happens :O Zzz

everyone was still abit sleepy~
janice the detective? :D

Su Ann the Siti :D

after that, went back to room to pack our belongings. ready to check out... but halfway packing, oops! Hui and detective fell "asleep" ~ Zzz


Su Ann went high and did her stunt! none of us could do that X) oh superwoman!


one last picture before we say byebye to the room~ :)

took the bus back to 1U again, this time without Janice, she went back in another bus to another place, Gombak is it? i forgot ><

it was the end to our wonderfully amazingly tiringly sleepily happily funnily excitedly breathtakingly meanignfully superb trip :)


good memories are meant to be kept forever,
to be reminisced in the future,
and to smile over it. :)

FRiDAY :)

classes have been cancelled today to give way to a seminar/talk for those who are planning to take accounting and finance in the future. it was held at MPH. at 9am, we entered and what gave us a shock was the arrangement of the tables and chairs. before this we were actually saying, let's sit somewhere in the midpoint in the middle or sth like that i can't remember.
-
there were about 5 round tables, and the chairs all surrounding them. reminds me alot of the setting of a wedding dinner X) we were asked to sit at one of the tables in front. waited for the rest to come.
-
it started off with a game... called i forgot what. but it's a combination of bingo and scavenger hunt. oh before that, we were divided into groups according to the cards we picked. i was in the monkey group haha X) so each group was given a pieace of yellow paper with 25 boxes on it, each box shows an item we're supposed to find from just anywhere within the college. aim is to get as many bingo's as possible.
-
everyone was expecting a not-so-interesting long talk. who knows we had to run around like kids finding for all the objects! my team kinda failed haha. one of the memebers didn't manage to get back in time, and there were still some unfound items. btw, Su AnnAnn's group WON the game! cheers for them~!!
-
conclusion of the game: time management and team work are both equally important.
-
then another guy took over for the talk. it was not bad, interesting talk especially with all the humurous responses from the crowd.
-
some of the things i find nice...

Belated...

thursday seemed all normal, mundane, especially knowing there's malaysian studies class at 4.30pm. but you really wouldn't be able to expect what's going to happen next. after we settled the fees at the finance dpt., waited a while for Yanyan to fill in a form so she can redeem the fees she paid earlier. sitting beside me, was hey herng who looked abit abnormal, just somehow different from usual, kept looking at her phone, busy texting and calling.
-
then when all was done, we finally decided to get down back to the foyer. we then got closer and closer to a table which was surrounded by faces i'm very much familiar with. didn't really believe my eyes at first... they didn't look the same, all trying their best to save the candles from the big wind blowing. there i saw the 7 lighted candles standing on a cake, with the word 'happy birthday' on it. at that moment itself, my heart automatically melted as the candles began to melt too.
-
seriously, 'aaw...' best suits this situation. i was surprised and very very happy deep down inside. very happy to have them, the lovely friends, each with different personalities but all there to bring joy for one another at all times. :)
-
after eating the beautiful cake, hey herng suddenly drew out a very big candy-shaped present from her bag. it was urm, BIG! then as usual, the fun guessing time, and i started unwrapping it. saw another layer of wrapper, and then a layer of newspaper, and more newspaper. so manyyyyyyyy layers! really there was a gradual build-up of suspense throughout the process.
-
it took quite some time before i saw the present, thank you heyherng for this is the first time i took longer than 5 minutes to unwrap a present XD and it's actually a purple highlighter! since they always say i've all the coulours, pink, orange, yellow, green & blue but not purple. somehow, i was not disappointed at all, maybe because of having too much fun unwrapping the present, or perhaps i believe it's the thought that counts most.
-
went to Pyramid after that, aimlessly walked around and decided to try Honeymoon's dessert. chit chat and then went popular, then time to return. M'sian studies was extrememly boring as always. until suddenly, hoeyan pulled something out from her bag. it was another present for me :) so called the real present. a t-shirt we saw in our genting trip! thanksss to all of you for everything~
-
due to the bad traffic condition, reached home quite late. sorry lah kiat! according to someone, you reached at 9pm O.O
-
all in all, a :D day!

Treasure Everyday.

today has been quite special. was supposed to be meeting up with college friends for ice skating at pyramid, but the plan was cancelled since not many could make it, plus we chatted until quite late last night. then as i woke up this morning, the first message was from huei-wen, saying she felt like going for shopping, like now X) and i got quite excited seeing it, so replied her immediately. agreed to meet at 3pm with alina too, at our second home - 1u.



watched 'The Proposal'. nice nice movie we all liked it. we even thought of watching Harry Potter after that, but too bad it was not showing at both Gsc & Tgv anymore. walked around and had a window shopping + chit chat session. there were a few *sigh* moments also.
-
i guess we've all grown to be more matured and are experiencing different college lifestyles. at some points you would be curious and start wondering how life has been this far. thinking back about a few things made us feel old, as if we're some aunties. XD came to a realisation that we're all goodies, it's not anything bad. spent time together until 10.30pm, when we finally had to leave.
-
chatted with a friend at night. i'm really glad to have known her and it felt comfortable chatting with her. everyone is really very different, sometimes it's just hard to explain why you feel easy to be with certain people. good things do not come easily, she said. :)
-
try not to sleep late, be happy and healthy!

Easier said than done.

back from genting... it was a meaningful trip i would say :) despite feeling tired and sleepy.
will write about it as soon as i get the pictures.


recently, the many many things that have happened made me realise how difficult it is to really do what you wish you could be doing, not just saying it. life sometimes seems so complicated, but it actually isn't. make sure that everyday is being appreciated, that everyone around you is happy because your genuine smile brighten up their day. ish, whatever it is, we have to be very clear of what we're doing and of course the reason why we're doing so. well, again. this is easier said than done. i really have no idea what else to say. everyone deserves to be happy.

The long-waited day :D

exams are finally over! after so long, i still haven't changed my very bad habit of studying last minute. why can't i just start doing revision a little earlier? @_@ and because of that, sleeping late during exam times is unavoidable...

went to pyramid again, this time for J. Co doughnut since Yan Yan had sudden craving for it. :) it was fun! especially when the five of us couldn't finish a dozen of doughnuts. Su Ann Ann the cheater came out with this nasty idea of giving us a quiz, and whoever fails to answer correctly must eat the leftover. so unreasonable! X)

but well, in the process of answering her questions, i got to know her a little better. and also just got to know that this coming Sunday, 16th August is the True Lve Day! haha, didn't even realise such a day existed.

called daddy to pick me up at 7pm but he only managed to reach at 7.50pm. can you imagine how bad the jam was? felt so happy when i got home. no need to stay in the study room anymore, somehow i talked a lot :P

i'm really glad to have you people around me everyday at college! :) full of happinesssssss!

owh and the other day, my sister took some pictures of our little Ador. he's so greedy! munches on everything in his way! my dad's plants are all becoming bald because of him X)


aam..mum mumm...
mumm...mummm

sniff sniff
aam...aam...aam...
continues chewing here and there~
and moreeeeee!
this was taken at another time. he seems to be glowing a little :D

gosh! look at how much he has grown!!! it was so cute and tiny... body, ears, legs are all short and small :D
-
-
i remember something that huei-wen wrote to me, the only thing constant in life is change. it is true. whatever the change is, we'll have to accept and then adapt to it. :)

To drivers: Try not to sms when you drive! Watch out for dogs crossing the road too!
am looking forward to monday's trip to genting!!! ^^

Two Great Dayss :)

first one was a friday when we decided to have a small HA gathering at jyy yee's house. seeing calista again after so long reminds me of her cuteness and how she used to be my bee shield, she's still as happy as always. huei-wen had her fringe cut short again :) some said she looks 'lala', some said she looks like a 'china doll' XD and it felt great to see the host, ah jyy smile so happily again :)

the very nice-coloured fruit juice :)



trust me, it was very the super comfortable :)



star!



shadowwww ^^



i shall not comment on this banana. the more i look at it, the more i'll laugh XD


it wasn't a very long day, but definitely a nice one. should have this more often... wait till huei-wen and i can drive like pro! haha.


***


it was the last english lesson before exam, i don't know if she wanted to let us release stress or what, we were asked to create a poster for a tv show (anything we like). and therefore, the end product of our group....


apparatus and materials X)


yes, rainbow family X) just in case you're wondering, the blue ball ball is a blue berry.*



owh, and then it was a day to celebrate our beloved hoe yan's 18th birthday! went to kenny roger's...

yan yan! she's always very lively and spreads positive energy too! when i'm with her i tend to walk faster to keep up with her X)


this lovely girl is not simple. she's smart, confident, decisive, ambitious, cute, and can really REALLY really sing! we went for karaoke after lunch, have always known the fact that she can sing. but that day was the first time i heard her sing. really whoah, super super nice! :)

:)
