~Ipoh Getaway Chapter~

My mind and spirit finally got the rest and relaxation it deserved after being cooped up in the city for sooo long. All we did over at my uncle's house was, well, exactly like how it should be ::: rest and relax. Oh and throw in abit of shopping and visits to a few temples and there we go, personal chillax time-out. I shall let the pictures do most of the talking for me. Love you too, Lucky ;))

~A Dedication Chapter~

This is a post that's especially dedicated to the two new people on my 'List of People I Actually Want to Care About' :::


Lim Sin Yee & Low Jo Ann!!


Yup, the two of you have helped make driving classes much more fun and bearable or what would otherwise have been seriously friggingly dead-boring crap. No joke. Muchos gracias to both of your zanyness and willingness to laugh at whatever I say. Arigato gozaimas too, for putting up with my bad temper that occurs most of time (all thanks to the heat & impatience). And finally, loads of thanks to the two of you for being there as friends at the very moment when I needed good friends the most :))

By the way, today's happenings at the driving school were nothing short of a good hoot. First off, I got "the look" from JA today just because I was wearing my glasses instead of my contacts when I boarded the van and sat next to her with a friendly "hi". Why? She couldn't recognise me at all and thought I was some weird psycho for disturbing her peace. Meh. Then when we met up with SY at the school, we went back to our usual routine of laughing at no particular thing. With us, everything that has a right to, will and shall be laughed at. New motto for us then, girls? (*^^*) JA, you just had to go to the toilet right before the class begin instead of before, because "I had no feelings to before". Wth, feelings ;)) So we did the best we could in staying awake during the whole 2 hours the droning continued.

Then downstairs for our break where SY's tummy was already grumbling for her lunch. Not finding anything in the canteen that did not look like it might give us diarrhoea for a week at least, we headed out into the open world that lay before the gates of the driving school. That's where I realised that JA and SY were very much unused to crossing roads properly. I found out accidentally in the middle of crossing the road with a jeep bearing down on us. SY screamed first, I think, and that set off JA till the two off them were scampering away to the divider, leaving me to stare in shock in the middle of the road (not true actually, I freaked when they both started running, so I scampered after them too. Heh). But the way they sounded, it was as though the jeep was only a millimetre away and not a mile as it was *faints*

After the break, we couldn't go back into that nice, coldly comforting room we were in, oh noooo. We had to stay out in the maddeningly sweltering heat for almost 3 hours just to listen to some random guy talk about the car's engines and oils for god-only-knows-what within the car. Then out of nowhere, he starts talking about 'love amongst us all' and how we are to share this "love". So when my mom asked what I'd learnt, my reply ::: "All about love". Pffft. In short, we three laughing musketeers ended up 'boy-watching'. SY got a "purpleygray" (sorry, couldn't find a proper purple&gray), JA got a "bloodred" and I got a "midnightblack". Then, we cracked ourselves up silly with laughing over what aspects of our colours were attractive and whether we should take sneak pictures of our colours. Only those who know me well will know what I'm talking about, seriously. Lolzers, cheers to us, girlfriends~!!

~Serious Wtf Chapter~

My first ever lesson in 'undang-undang' courtesy of Metro Driving School went "a-okay" considering that I went to it alone and had nothing but my wits and over-the-top imagination for company. Wasn't expecting much, just the usual bladeebla stuff of how we're to be responsible, mature, trustworthy drivers on the road. Like I don't get enough of that crap from my parents, relatives, friends and everyone else who considers themselves safe. Wtf. Against all odds though, I surprised myself and managed to make a new friend who could only speak Mandarin and Cantonese, nada of English and just a smattering of Malay. Yay me *faints*

My 'undang test' went worse if that is even possible. Almost 100 people crammed into a tiny waiting room with a few small old wall fans for ventilation. The unbearable heat, the overwhelming stench of sweaty people and seriously annoyed people with fraying tempers. Thank god I had people to help keep my sanity (thanks Sin Yee & Jo Ann, you girls are absolute dears!); I doubt I'd last an hour tops, alone.

And then I need to let out some of the pent-up anger I have at some certain people who have seriously NO common sense or proper manners. Case in point, when SY, JA and I were talking and laughing softly to keep our minds off impending insanity and this old lady walks in (not mentioning the race, you can figure out which one) with her daughter. Sits herself in front of us and barely a minute later she's turning round to glare at us me. For no obvious reason wth (other than the different races, that is). So we try to keep the volume down as much as we can but almost 10 minutes of the glaring and suddenly that old menopausal hag closes her ears, turns right around and goes "Ish, sangat bisinglah! Tak boleh perlahankan ke??". All 3 of us were stunned into silence, just staring at one another. Like wtfckinghell, there were a load of others making noises at decibels higher than ours and oh, that was alright since they were of the same race as her *useless bag-of-bones*. When we'd recovered our wits enough, we got right back to where we were before we were so darn rudely interrupted. But noooo, that loony psycho kept on turning round to glare in my direction till I was so pissed I could've happily bashed her with my 'undang-undang' book. I gave up all polite pretenses the next time she turned around and gave her the most loathingly poisonous look I had. After that, she kept her head turned the right way round, good riddance!!

My bestest buddy had the same stupid treatment as well during his training at a company. Useless dude of a different race (go figure) called him out to clean all the worktops. Okay, whatever, he does it. What does the aforementioned dude do? Stand there to one side with arms crossed and wearing a smug smile, just watching him do it without bothering to help. Another guy of useless-dude's race comes in with a big box full of stuff, plops it down onto the worktop my friend's just cleaned worktops and tells orders him to keep it all. Friend gets real pissed too and asks "Then what are you doing??" but the guy just saunters off. And apparently all of this happens to his other college mates who go to other places for their training. All of this puts me into my whtdafuckingshitlaisyourproblem-uselessgoodfornothingthinkyoursofrigginggoodizzit mood. 'Nuff said.

~Undaunted Efforts Chapter~

I. Can. No. Longer. Take. This. Physical. Torture (*==*) At long last, today is the last one where my family and I have to endure a few long, gruelling hours of stuffing ourselves to more than the normal bodily extent of "FULL". And the long rainy days and soft soothing breeze are doing nothing in helping me survive the falling-asleep-flat-on-my-face-after-the-heavy-meals syndrome. Very helpful, that thought.

This time around, I was surprised the meal wasn't that heavy on the tummy (and *crosses fingers and toes* probably wasn't too harsh on increasing the amount of fats already in my body *faints*). We all trooped off obediently to the Summer Palace Restaurant over at Marriott Hotel, fully prepped and geared up for the last war to battle the food down. Placed in a private dining room, surprise surprise, the dim sum we had wasn't so filling, partly cause the service was waaaay slower than a snail making it's way up a steep, slippery driveway. So since I enjoyed eating this time, not many pictures of food were taken. Many random ones were though~

P/S ::: The lamborghini I saw parked outside the hotel? Mega drool-worthy. I'm a full-blooded jealous monster now. Bleh.

~Happily Bloated Chapter~

Since I highly suspect myself of not having enough of a social life, once again, thanks in large part to my dear mother, my family, relatives and I trooped off to another one of her famous "buffet lunches". This one was held over at Lemon Garden Cafe at Shangri-La where the decor is "simply sumptuous" [that one I borrowed from a British couple seated in the lobby =Þ]. I have to agree with them there, it was really befitting a 5-star hotel, very grandiose and all that~ The food itself was also what I like to term "DA BOMB!!". Food of *gasp* all kinds, fresh seafood, sushi, indian cuisine, western dishes, A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!! *squeals* We couldn't possibly try everything so we squished and squashed whatever we could into those itsy-bitsy things called stomachs. Didn't really take many pictures of the food since was too busy scarfing it all down. But there's one in particular that's my favourite, the one with all the sweet treats. Are you jealous already? =9
