~And I Present Chapter~

I've been having the strangest dreams everrrr.

One ::: I dreamed a group of my friends (SuLing, Amily, Jen, Brian, Alex, forgot-who-else) and I were stranded with little cash and little knowledge in Indonesia. Mighty scary crap, specially since we were all separated and it wasn't till the end that we found each other. Woke up wondering where I was and where the others had gone to. Lol to you too.

Two ::: I dreamed that I had died. And everyone I knew attended my funeral, I could actually see 'em looking at me. Crying? No idea, they were probably laughing with glee pfffft. Then, the wonder of all stories happened, I came back to life, two days later. I mean like, yeah, WTF??

Three ::: I keep having recurring dreams that I'm in a car, either in the passenger seat or the back seat, and suddenly the car goes into full runaway mode. And then, I'm forced to take over the darned wheel and stop the car before it causes an accident or a fatality or whatever.


Luckily I had today to distract me. Went out to One Utama with Cheryl, her whole family (I kid you not), Stpeh and Jeff. One big happy group, literally. Watched Terminator (or, as in Jeff's words, Termometer *cue outright laughter from the rest of us again*) and omfg it was mega coooool!!! I loved John Connor but when I saw Marcus Wright, I was practically squealing in the cinema~!! Lucky the darned cinema was so dark, couldn't see the way my cheeks became tomatoes *blush*


Ate later on at A&W (minor disagreement and foncusion about where to go initially) and then BOOM! a stark fact hit me in the head. The two guys were being mighty silent and when asked why, it turned out that it seemed to them as if we were having so much fun without them. Uh-oh.

GOMEN GOMEN GOMEN GOMEN!!!!!

I know I suck as a newfound friend and a "hostess" of sorts since OU is in my territory *ahem*, but give me time and I promise to try and change for the better. Best. Gooder. Whatever. Lol, janji tukar kan? Ahahahaha love you guys to bits ^^~

Must have more outings *jiayou jiayou*!!

~Screw the Madness Chapter~

All assignments are now done; dead and gone.

I know I've messed up big time and no excuses can be made.

Time for me to clean up that messy mess.

Heck, the world's already screwed as far as I know.

Time for me to do a disappearing act for a while.

~Back & Forth Chapter~

I have had decidedly more fun over the weekend during my recent short trip back to Penang then me being sad. Reason for trip? Attend funeral of step-grandmother's (on my mom's side). Reason for not being that sad? Wasn't that close to step-grandmother and besides, the word "step-grandmother" should be enough to tell you how close my mom really was to her. Anyways~ had been a long time since I last saw my cousins (three and a half months to be exact lol!) and it was uber great to see all my family again. Most of time in the car was spent rolling my eyes at my sister who was happily snapping away with the digital camera at a million shots a second. So here are some of her "better" masterpieces, and a few shots as well of how 'tis in and near the G Hotel, Gurney Drive hahaha :::

And then, ohmigoodness, and THEN, there was the amount of good food at mega cheap prices over at Penang! I tell you, I was drooling everytime it was meal time (which happened often, those meal times, such happy hours ^^). No wonder people get so fat so easily whenever in Penang; it's almost like an eat-all-you-can buffet at an affordable rate (I'm missing Penang's goodies already~~) *whimpers*. We only spent like, what, RM100? And we ordered plates upon platters upon bowls of food, all thanks to me mom, who went quite mad ordering everything that took her fancy (HI MOM! I LOVE YOU!) ^^ Some examples are :::

Char Hor Fun - RM3.80

Char Koay Teow - RM3.30

Fried Oysters - RM6.00

Char Koay Kak - RM2.00

Cheezy Chicken - RM7.50

Chicken Katsu - RM7.00

Chicken Carbonara - RM7.50

Spaghetti Carbonara - RM5.00

Drinks - RM9.20

You all jealous now, hmmm? Lol you should be!!

~Crystal Lives Chapter~

So many deaths. So much pain. So how do I fully deal with it all? Crystal lives, so beautiful and yet, so wonderfully fragile. So easily shattered.

"How does dying really feel like?"

Letting a loved one go is bad enough. Letting even more of them go, back home to where they truly belong is even more heartbreaking. It makes you wonder about your time here.

"Will I ever see you again?"

Let me go, they say. And then move on, they advise. When it is time for you to walk this path alone, remember, I'll be waiting for you at the end to welcome you home.

"Can I really hear the angels sing?"

Rest In Peace, Ah Mah. For all eternity.

P/S ::: Thank you so much kor, for being there for me exactly when I needed you; exactly when I felt like my days couldn't be lightened anymore. You know just how to make it all livable again. My life would definitely suck without you ((:

~Icy Outing Chapter~

My hypertension-heart attack-inducing-assignments ended about a week ago and yet I never did get down to updating my blog even though my very bones were screaming for me to. It all boiled down to me having completely satisfying lazy bumbum. I love it when I can indulge in such sins like laziness and boredom. Haha.

Anyways~ I haz a great time on Toozdehh. Cheryl my darling came with HER darling, Stephen, and his friend, Jeff. Great people them, hahaha, though both were highly timid and shy for guys. Goodness only knows why they were so scared, apparently according to Cheryl, they were afraid of me. Yes, me. No actually, it was my English that intimidated them. If it were my looks that gave them the heebie-jeebies or my size that gave them the creeps, then I guess it might be understandable (or then again, it might not). But no, it was the language I used, for Pete's sake. Rightttt.

After the 1st ADA lecture, I went off to Kaylie's house to chillax and wait for the 3 tardy people. In the end, when they did arrive, it was too have many difficulties trying to park the car inside Kay's house. Was terribly funny to hear Cheryl screaming at them; seriously, you should see the way Kay and I were laughing; even more so when we heard that Steph wasn't capable of making a three point turn even to save his life LOL. At last, after lunch and a pointless tour of both Taylor's main campus and business scholl, seeing as how Steph already knew most of it and Jeff just managed to look lost. Oh well, I tried~

Sunway Pyramid. Where I no longer became the "iceskating virgin". And where I realised my butt didn't provide as much cushioning as I hoped it would. I found out how tight the skating boots were and how slippery ice could really be (honest I never knew!!). Funniest sight ever was when Kaylie went in first with such ease and helped me slip and slide my measly way in. Next in was Jeff, he did okay coming in. Steph was next and looked almost exactly as I had coming in. Oh well, we tried~

God knows what happened next, but all of a sudden, I find myself clinging to the sides while Jeff and Steph are piled onto me. Me thinks Steph pushed Jeff for the fun of it all so'd he'd land on me but the poor dude ends up slipping as well. Imagine, me holding up two guys with only the sides and Kay's hand for support. But stand I did and there were nary any falls from me except for those two times I did a leg split and a drop on the butt all thanks to an overeager Kay who kept tugging at my hand to go faster and faster.

Later on, back in the safety of campus, Amily got bored with the ADA lecture and whatever it was the lecturer was saying and decided to get all creative again. I managed to grab two pix of her brilliant creativity and got down to the up-and-coming job of posting them here in my blog for all to see. Oh I even included a picture of my gloves and the entry band, which of course, I took out of boredom. Heh.

~Day of Days Chapter~

Kaylie is one funny girl. Why? She doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between Kotex and Durex. Yup, you heard right. Poor girl got foncused today specially when Kotex came to Taylor's Subang Jaya to promote their products. Evidence can be read here :::

Kaylie: What's going on there?
Me: Think it's some promotion thingy.
Kaylie: Eh come let's go collect some Durex.
Me: *staring blankly at her* Huh?
Kaylie: Aiyo, they're giving out free Durex right? I wanttt~
Me: *giving her that classic shocked look*
Kaylie: WAIT!!! I meant Kotex!! *after having spotted the huge signboards all around*
Me: Aisayyy (==" )

Hahahaha, keep on rocking sox Kay~

Anyway, I am feeling so totally overboard guilty right now. Was supposed to pop on over to my pet-brother's house for another "tasting" session but I end up oversleeping and this is my first ever time I bail out on him and even though he's done it a few times to me before I still feel so guilty and I don't even know why and I should be feeling justified but noooo this ol' heart of mine is refusing to let me see it in any other way but as a guilt-tainted version of it.

I'm very sowee?

~Sorrowful End Chapter~

Today was supposed to be one of madness, seeing as I wasn't as blur as usual and I brought my camera to uni, which meant a whole opportunity of picture taking sessions during the one time everyone was present :::

During Management classes.

Without the lecturer noticing or maybe she just couldn't be bothered, we (meaning Shi Hui and I, acting as the amateur photographers for the day) snapped away and I'll post some up here, those which I think are the best and less blurry.


It didn't end as happily as I thought it would though. I come home and barely an hour later, I get the tragic news that my aunt's father, the one my family all fondly refers to as "Ah Kong", had passed away peacefully due to old age somewhere around noon. We were close to him, having stayed under the same roof everytime we went back to Penang, which was often. We'll miss you, Ah Kong.

"Sometimes, goodbye's the only way. Just follow the light and don't look back. May you rest in eternal peace, Ah Kong. We will always remember you as the loving one with the always-ready smile."

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely ::: Buddha.

Here comes goodbye

Here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain

Here comes me wishing things had never changed

But here comes goodbye
