1st-4th december 2011

my bali december 2011 trip with the firm trip..
the fact that not much words are needed

to reiterate the whole entry
only means I can say so much about it
even though NOT everything is bad,

i have to say the pictures seem pretty good overall.
bali is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy below my definition of a good trip..
you cannot honestly blame me ah seriously!!!
kalau aku lah yang pergi and plan bali ni,
itinerynyer tidak akan hancur berderai and

tidak akan cock up yer seperti 7/10 of the things
that happened in these 4 days..
geez, I can SERIOUDLY reconsider the next one.
-.-

DAY 2

DAY 3

DAY 4

2011-11-20T20:19:00.000+08:00

well, to be absolutely honest

i have had this entire entry up a while back

but because i am very greedy and

wanted to squeeze about 12 more photos
in this already overcrowded entry

filled with over 200 photos from my sydney holiday
i kinda pretty much F up the entire entry
and had to re-do it all over again..
that's the pain of blogging with crazy amount of photos
but i am determined to get this entire sydney entry up again
before i smash my blog with raya entries which
as we are speaking is in about 3 more weeks or so
ok, here goes the sydney entry and more
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bestit celebrated her 26th on 31st july

my goodness 26 now, 4 more years to the big 3-0

omg, a conversation we dont want to even start talking about

because trust me, the big 3-0 is SCARY!!!

so, in conjunction with our sydney june trip

we have decided not to blow a

birthday celebration fit for the queen for all 3 of us

we have planned to do a small scale dinner..
AND THEN

few days before the dinner, she whatsapped both

me and aishah asking if she will get a suprise
i think it was just a random question

but me and aishah got panicked
thinking oh shit!!! she wants a suprise

miang nyer pompuan, taknak presen taknak prsent

skali nak suprise lah pulak lah tu!!

so me and aishah racked our brains very hard

and we decided that we will give her a flower suprise

delivered straight to her school, yeah!!

and i think we did good with the flowers

because it was apparently her first time receiving flowers

PLUS a suprise bouquet straight to work..

the flowers were nice obviously

nasib baik asha got a good eye for flowers

and decided not to go for pink or red flowers

cos farhanah ni is soooooo not pink or red flowers punyer!

however so,

the message that came with the flowers were NOT nice

i got a call from aishah a day

before the intended suprise delivery

and catching me at an impromptu moment for a message

my dirty mind was racing so fast

and had to come up with something equally dirty

ahahaha, fana is never a horny bitch lah eh

if there is one, i am..

and then recently aishah is picking up the wonderful trait

HAHAHAHA, KIDDING!!!

but yeah, all in the name of good fun

we have been friends for 14 years

and obviously we can get away with anything!!!!

it sure was one hell of a suprise..weeee

so birthday girl wanted arnolds dinner

and that was what we gave it to her

hahahaha, arnolds is not just crowded during

fasting month but it is crowded pretty much

every other night okae

so kalau nak makan arnolds

reserve dari minggu lepas, tu yang

paling bagus punyer step!!!

we personally had to wait for a gd hour before

getting to our queue number

and when we get to our seat, we were freaking famished

so yeah, well worth it!!!

happy 26th birthday bestie farhanah!
we have gone through 14 years together as best friends

and to many more years of friendship

i dont exactly know where next year brings

in terms of destination and vacation

but we will have a rocking good one!!

cat, hamster, monkey <3

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 1 SYDNEY 2011
what initially was just a plan finally became a reality

and i thanked GOD for that

me and my 2 bestfriends fana and asha

have always planned to celebrate our friendship in australia

and so we were dwelling on ideas like gold coast, multiple cities

and then we finally decided at the beginning of this year

which is a year full of blessings that we will fly to sydney

for our 14th year of friendship

and again, i am so glad we did it

it put so much meaning to the phrase "been there and done that"

9 amazing days of nothing but pure happiness and experience..

Our crunch down, 6 months planning was all well worth it

and given a chance, i will say in a heartbeat, i will do it all over again..

we flew by SQ, or shall i say upgraded our qantas flight

to our local one and we took a red eye flight meaning we

were scheduled to fly out on midnight..

now here is a wonderful lesson i learnt and

i shall never repeat i ever again

the lesson i learnt was to NOT ever act macho

and not sleep the entire day knowing i have a flight to catch

i mean provided if the flight is early, then its a no brainer to

sleep at home beforehand

but what happened was that a baby was on board the flight

and he/she cried for 7 hours freaking straight

now, i am going to confess that i am not a child lover

i like them, i just dont go goo goo over them

but when a baby, however cute he/she is cries

for 7 hours straight, the cutest baby becomes disgusting

i couldnt take a wink, not for even a second

i was restless like shiet and i boarded off the flight

with red blood shot eyes, it was crazy..

i mean of course, the moment i landed on sydney

everything that happened on flight was fully redeemed

but lesson learnt, SLEEP BEFORE TAKING A LATE FLIGHT

its not worth it to try to sleep it off in the plane..

here we are the happy campers

fana's eyes were blood shot by now

i am not even sure when this photo was taken

taking off or landing

but whatever it is, to the man who got all 4 seats to himself

I HATE YOU, i hope your nether region rots cos i am sooo jealous

i cannot even lie down nice enough to sleep!

and then an elderly got sick throughout the flight

upon landing in sydney we had to be held back for a while

because the aussie medics wanted to check him first

and then i pepek miang wanted to take photo

den kena ticked off by the medic NO PHOTO PLEASE

muka dah macam kucing kurap sepoleh sen, okae

malu yang teramat sangat!!!

touched down!!!

omg, i was smiling from ear to ear

and that is not even a figure of speech

i really was smiling that hard

i couldnt remember how hard i smiled but

i was HAPPY until my jaw started to ache!

i was estactic and elated and screaming for joy inside

i have never felt winter and i have never felt the coldness in aussie

and i couldnt believe i was experiencing all that...

it was surreal to the max...

the temperature when we were there was around 16-18 degrees

but what made it super unberable cold was the wind!!

the wind was freaking strong, we were trembling to our very bones

but nonetheless, shiok!

i will take the slithering winter anytime compared to

the disgusting humid and sweaty armpits here!

AND BELOW IS

the hotel we stayed for 9 days

HOLIDAY INN, DARLING HARBOUR

for those of you who are reading this and

wants a modest recommendation

i will say go for this hotel, down to earth

absolute no frills

the location was the biggest plus point for this hotel

it is just situated near to everywhere and everything

in fact i was so nice that i wrote

holiday inn, the travel agency we book our hotel

and flight from, and the anderson tours all a commendation note

because the trip was so memorable, i was killing myself

thinking about it every single minute of every single day

tutup mata jer terkenang

aiseyboy, lebih dasyat dari break up, yo!!!
anyway, what is there not to like about this hotel

everything is good!!
chambermaids are good, room service is good,

the buffet is good, the check in desk is good

the concierge boys are EXCELLENT!

i am just going to stop there because right about now

my 2 best friends who are definitely reading this

will be freaking gushing and reminiscing huh..

men, sweet men hmmmmm

scottie (yer ker scottie?), conrado, dan lain lain lagi lah

wish you all well, boys...

lots of love from singapore!!!

mwacksss!!!!

ohhh, paddy's market..

which is a huge omg, beautiful god sent in sydney..

it is situated just beside our hotel

and right about beside chinatown

speaking about chinatown, maybe this is a good time for

me to mention that i personally think that media just blew things

up in huge gargantuan proportions,

i mean, there were alot of asians and of course there

were a lot of locals but we don't see no hating

or fighting like anywere around our area

everyone was friendly and helpful and just polite

and we were very satisfied with just about everyone

so even though there is no link right about now

i will just like to say, i have no idea why justin bieber

got pelted with eggs at his latest sydney tour..

KAN DAH CAKAP NO LINK AHAHAHA!!!

BUT the reason paddy's market was a god sent

was because we could probably have finished up all

our monies right here and right on the very 1st day

now if you are visiting sydney, paddy's market is all about

souveniors and you can get everything here

from bikini to slipper to towel to notepad to tshirt

to baby bib to ashtray, you name it they have it!!!
this is of course before we discovered that leverl 2 and 3 and 4

are all proper shopping places like supre and cotton on and jay jay

and then we just probably died!

us, huddled in sydney's winter on our very 1st day there

we were waiting for our room to be ready so

we were walking around the hotel area

just familiarizing ourselves

and another lesson learnt please!!!!

if you know you are going to visit a cold country

just dont think it is okay to wear seamless panties like i did,

i wore only black seamless lace panties from marks and spencer

cos they are simply the best, and i wore one on my first day

and i literally walked around with my panty in mid butt-crack

its freaking not a joke!

i made my gerls like see where my panty droop

because it was so bad!!!!

it felt like i was trying to you know hold up an adult diaper!!

our hotel was also in front of

University Technology of Sydney

which is of course equivalent to NTU

ahaha, how i wished i was studying here

i would have walked everywhere

but it will be a shame if i am student here cos

i will be flying home after a month

and my hands will be filled with shopping and not a degree cert!

na-ah!!!

ahahahaha, so cold!! feeling feeling london lor!!!

my day 1 entry is going to abruptly end right here

cos we were all so jet lagged and its not any of our faults

because we hardly got enough sleep at all

so when we checked in,

we settled down and all of us and had a nap..

i was the first to snore, i am not going to lie

i was sooooooo tireddd!!!

it was sooo nice sleeping in winter night, omg!!!

oh yah, i am not sure if this is a general winter fact

for all across the world..

but it seems that in sydney,

when it is winter the days are shorter

and the nights are longer

so when were there, we wake up very early like hmmm

5 am singapore time 7 am sydney time

and then we will do our stuffs for the day

and then we will retire back to our hotel

like about 2 pm singapore time

4 pm sydney time because it will get so dark and

we will take a hot bath, prepare next day's clothes

and climb into bed snuggled in blankets

and warm socks and watched family guy

and crappy aussie advertisements

and i am about to cry right now reminiscing!!!
ahahahaah

anyways, i think i should include my thanks to

the 2 uncles who brought us around town in sydney for the

1st night that we were there

and brought us to dinner at zaafran, which you would see

that we went back there to dine on our last night because

we just loved the food like crazy and of course the ambience

and of course the waiter, ahahah for asha that is!!!

but yeah, we didnt do much for the 1st night

i was just so glad we landed safely in sydney and

got accustomed if not slightly familiarized with everything

and raring to go on our 8 other days journey!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 2 SYDNEY 2011

i actually forget to mention

that we were in sydney from saturday to the next sunday.

so technically this day 2 was a sunday

and sunday obviously warrants a zoo day of course

to taronga zoo we head, that was our itinery for the day!!!

this is probably the only time that i am going to post

our sydney breakfast photos because it is simply the same thing

for the next 8 mornings

i personally love american breakfast

and i have absolutely no complaints

i found out that i love mini pancakes with peanut butter

and cereal with soy milk and kerepek pisang

so hey thats not such a bad idea after all kannn

and please eh VEGEMITE taste like shiet

for those of you who love vegemite,

omg what were your tongues made offfff,

dahlah rasa macam termite and wood shavings

geez shame on you!!!

if there is one place you should know

when you are travelling in sydney,

it will have to be ciruclar quay

it is like harbourfront singapore

where all the ferries are

and it kinds of bring you everywhere

around the city which is able to be reached by water

and we found out on this day that we can walk from

our hotel to a nearby bus-stop and take free shuttle bus 555

to circular quay and we can take ferries to some other destinations

or we can walk from circular quay down to our hotel and

that will be where all the shopping places are

which you will see the next day

so on this day we took a ferry to taronga zoo

and it was our first time seeing the harbour bridge or whatnot

and we were whoring all the way..

it was drizzling pretty bad too,

and maybe this is a good time to tell you guys

that it was a wet winter for sydney and later

when we followed the anderson tours to blue mountain

our tour guide marcel told us it hasnt been a wet winter in

10 freaking years, so it was raining like crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy

and the wind was crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i almost felt like i could be blown away anytime

we had 2 umbrellas each within 9 days in sydney

so that kinds of explain how crazy the rain and the wind it was..

one of my many many favourite photos..

i have no idea why

zoos dont normally fascinate me or excite me

at the very least but something about sydney zoo got me raring to go

maybe its because i was excited to see

the koala bears and kangaroos and what nots

you don get to see koala bears just about anywere you know!!!
and, i have to spot one thing for you guys

and that is how i was wearing lenses on the above photo

and spectacles on the below photo..

i stuck to wearing spectacles for the next 8 days in sydney

because i am very angry with maxi lenses

monthly disposable lenses is monthly disposable lenses

it is as clear as that, no frills!

there is nowhere in the package that says:

monthly disposable=4 hours usage

on a brand new pair with 3 days eye infection. SWEET!!!

korang rasa rasa aku kena sue tak ini maxi lenses??

i dont know whether you can see the koala bear

and i think her name is felicity

later on when we went for the blue mountains

there were more koala bears all around

and it is honestly true what the tour guide

said about koala bears, they are cranky and stinky animals

albeit the fact that they are adorable

i just think they are all of that plus verryyyyyyy slow moving animal

macam boleh tidur bangun balik pun si budak bertuah

masih tercegat makan daun!!!

and i patted a couple of them
and please eh bulu macam carpet toilet k!!!
duhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ahahah, this is when we were full utilising

the camera's tripod and self timer

and resultsnyer, we get crazy funny shots like this...

3 very adorable giraffes..

i cannot get it that animals stink so bad and

can look so cute in photos all at the same time, its crazy!!!
but these giraffes were freaking cute lohhhi mean peak-a-boo!!!

main main cak cak ngan kiter, kurang asam!!

even if you are as horny like me

don't try to taste a stone elephant

cos the dirt on its trunk taste funky,

you will regret it so bad, i swear!!!

funny tourist shots,ahahahahah!!!

macam macam lah merepek nyer shots terklua

and then we became ambasaddors of sprite,

the drinks there were very expensive,

its effing ridicolous..

it was like 3 plus sgd for a small bottle

but oh swell beggars can never be choosers!!!

this is right after zoo and we walked our way down

from circular quay to our hotel

and recceeing all the shopping places ..

we were so freaking excited!!!

and every other day, we passed by (above) sydney's MOE

and i keep telling fana that this is her future workplace

when she retires or something,

she is going to come here and become discipline mistress

and i will come and visit her with my wrinkly 70 year old arse!!!

if you can tell that's kebab ,

then it is right, you are very clever...

every other day and night also we had to have kebab

balik singapore,muka aku dah macam kebab-ia!!!
and some solo drink which is fana's favourite

mine was sunkist drink, gawd I LOVE IT!!!

dengar dengar singapore takde air oren ker???

this is my pair of black boots that held me up for 9 days

i didnt wear this for 9 days though,

just 7 days and the other 2 days which i didnt wear this on

was only because they were wet from the

crazy and heavy rain

and i had to leave it at the hotel room to dry them up..

but omg, were these boots the bomb jigadybomb!!!

ahahaah i swore to them,

they were so comfortable,

felt true like a second skin

and yeayness to online shopping pair of random black boots

these were so freaking fantastic!!!

and for those of you who knew my boots story at SD,

no worries right here, no boots were flapping their

way from singapore to sydney and vice versa!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 3 SYDNEY 2011

this is the pure shopping day for all 3 of us...

kalau part nak shopping ni,

kau serahkan lah untuk kita 3 ekor makcik

jadi jadian untuk buat kerja merepek ni semua..

from circular quay, down along george's street

we had recceed all the possible shopping haunts

the day before and we just wanted to spend some

freaking aussie dollars!!!

this was also a Monday and it was the monday after

the queen elizabeth's birthday so we were not sure

whether the shops are going to be open or what nots..

and it turned out that yes,

the shops are opened at a freaking

10 or 11 am and close like what 4 or 5 pm

ahahaha...

it was like a mad rat race for us when

it comes to shopping cos we just wanted to

be in the hotel when it starts to get dark..

at strand arcade, which is omg so harry potter feely

very british-esque and ancient and 60-s feeling

it is even amazing when you take a walk through

the strand arcade, there's small cafes and

people sipping coffe and tea right

in the middle lane of strand arcade

and me and asha bought nougats here too..

strand arcade has a magical feeling to it!!

nice queen victoria buildings all around

you can tell the walkway is verry wettttt and

we already changed umbrellas twice here!!

because it has been raining non stop!!

we then stopped by their local supermarket

WOOLSWORTH

and went crazy buying aussie foods for home

we found these koala butter cookies

and this is one of the many reasons why my luggage

overloaded itself, because i ended up lugging home

8 big cookie boxes and i wished we could find these

cookies right here

because everyone said it tasted superrr good!!!

and if you are one of the people that got the cookies,

it only means I LOVE YOU LONG TIME, BITCHES!!!

and this is SES, the shop which i went freakingly crazy at

the 1st time i was in here, i got 8 cardigans

i ended up with 25 pieces of cardigans and tops by

the end of 9 days, so if you dont think thats crazy

i dont know what else is!!!

now, i have to tell you i shopped alot at dorothy perkins and

marks & spencer and these clothes dont come cheap

and i ammm reallly not trying to brag or anything

but plus sizes clothes in SG is not cheap

if i have a megan fox body, i will wear cheap clothes

all the time and probably change clothes like every half a day

but when i found out that like a piece of cardigan in sydney

was like 10 aud which is 13sgd,

i was like GET OUT OF HERE!!

this is crazyyyyy, i will look like a fool if i don bring hoome

bundles of clothes for my ownself so which i did!!

i almost regretted buying so much stuffs

until i couldnt fit in my luggage

but now when i think about it, its all freaking worth it!!!

after shopping, we wanted to end off our nice day with dessert

we were actually recommended by fana's uncle

to come down to passionfruit the ice cream parlour

to try out i think the black bean or the durian ice cream

(i cannot remember now)

but it was freaking cold windy winter at this point of time

and not alot of people wanted to eat ice cream

but just like suriving champions, we sat down

counted our aussie coins (which is a heavy bunch)

and ordered our desserts

and eat them like pro in the freezing winter wind!!!

ahahahaha

+++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 4 SYDNEY 2011

I am honestly very excited for this day because

the agenda for the day was to see the 3 if not 2 remarkable

places in sydney and they are

Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House

and Royal Botanic Gardens via ciruclar quay

and i was planning in my head that i need

to take only a million photos

just to mark our presences there,

which we did obviously ahahahaha

i think if i am not wrong another singaporean couple
took us this photo and wahh, small world lah ehh!!!
ahahahaah... this is at circular quay,
with the many ferries at the background!!!
and i should mention that ferries in circular quay
and then later i found out from a friend
whom i bumped in sydney as well
that the entire circular quay is wi-fi enabled
so all the times i was checking in and updating FB
was when we were around circular quay or in ferries
ahahaha, speaking about getting connected!!

this woman was so happy she was

skipping to god knows where,
to the sky i think!!!

ahahahaha

sydney harbour bridge!!!
omg, so happyyyyyyyyyy
before this, we only saw this on tv ads, internet
and we were finally right in front of the grand structure!!!
and we had the visa dance in our head!!!

just beside the sydney harbour bridge was the
opera house and at this point of time,
strong gushes of wind started blowing,
it was MADNESS i tell you
we were a bit scared because we were like on top
of the opera house,
and people were like running around
and then it also strated to pour heavily and we seeked shelter
from under one of the tips of the opera house,
ahahaah it was crazy..
dah macam kat tepi lautan atas kapal titanic
tengah feelin2 jadi rose, tengah tunggu jack jer datang
bukan jack and the beanstalk eh!!!

the brolly dance, or the joget payung
trying to diffuse our malay culture to wherever we go!!!
ahaaahahahaha, never thought this shot will be so epic!!
we were having so much fun taking so much shots beside
the opera house, we started getting funny stares
and YES we did record ourselves doing
the visa informercial ad!!
doooo doooo dooo dadida!!

the royal botanic gardens that allow you
to walk on the grass ahaahahah
and i got so scared walking
cos right here, you walk on the grass and you
get slapped with a nice fine!!!

ni feeling model majalah playboy yer
konon ni pose renung renungkanlah gituk!!

lompat yer jangan tak lompat!!
anyway speaking of jumping,
i am seriously irritated with aishah
who can jump as easy as she breathes
like a spring toy gituk!!!
1,2 jump TOINK
1,2 jump TOINK!!!
aku ni yang lompat macam setengah maut nak loncat
bukan main senang dia lompat belakang aku!!
haahah

seeking shelter at museum of sydney
it was crazyyyyyyyyyy windyy
fana's brolly broke upwards ahahah

we caught hangover 2 after all the sightseeing
i remembered catching chicken little at bangkok
and catching this movie in sydney
i thought hangover 1 was wayyy much better
but a good movie nonetheless!!!

no idea why chilli was spelt like this in sydney

or was it chilly as in windy?

to describe the dinner ker?

aahahahah, chilly chilli KOT!!!

we all ordered the plate that night..

the plate is made up of special rice, salad with feta cheese

and kish chiken and sour sauce and blah blah

we havent had rice in a while so

we were all jakun to the maxxxx!!!

fana's favourite krispy kreme donuts!!!

i kinda missed the milkshake on the flight back to SG

as well as the ashton kutcher bump!! ahahaha

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 5 SYDNEY 2011

for today's agenda, we were set to see 2 place

the national maritime museum

and sydney fish market...

we got so excited when finally got to the latter

more stories later!!!

we have no idea what this PUMP HOUSE is

but we discovered later,

its an extension bar of novotel hotel..

and the ferris wheel which is situated in the middle of nowhere

right in chinese garden of friendship @ darling harbour

we were suprised that people actually sanggup

nak mampus naik ni ferris wheel, ya ampun!!!

these white birds were everywhere in sydney

though they look cute and lean with their white fur

they are effing noisey with all their squaking

in malay,we call this the burung mak jujat!!!

right along darling harbour

when we were having dinnet at zaafran

on the first night we were here, looking out of the restaurant

my gawd, the view at night was to die for..

with yachts and private jet

and australia flag in the midst of an overcasted sky!!!

not sure if the national maritime museum fascinates me

but i took a gazillion photos of all the exhibitions

ahahahaa, seriously what was i thinking seh!

yelah dah datang negeri orang, amik ajer lah gambar!!!

right after the maritime museum,

we guided by the map tried to find our way to the

sydney fish market..

now if you are in sydney, you have to come to the fish market

because the ambience is such ane xperience

not a fan of angry birds, come here to be a fan!!

not a fan of fencing, come here to fence the birds off!!!

and i am giving such a wrong impression right about now!!

the red house that got all of us stirring in conversation...

oh yeah finally, after asking for directions everywhere

we finally found our way to the fish market

well its not seriously a major case of LOST for us

but we ended up walking the loooong way

but later on, it was all worth it!!!

now the reason why i absolutely thumbs up the sydney fish market

is because i am not a big fan of fish at all

but the fish and chips served here was honestly to die for

the calamaris were too good to be true

the serving is honestly for two

so don say i didnt remind you and

eating outdoors is really a challenge as well as an experience becuase

there were so many angry and hungry birds just waiting for your food

we hear so many people screaming

includes all of us and even though it wasnt raining

we had to open our brolly

because we had to fence off the angry birds

i was so scared in fencing

mana lah tahu fence punyer fence sekali tercocok mata aishah
dah kassim selamat budakt tu, chet!!!

sedap kak, halal sungguh ni fish and chips

tak cuba, rugi yang teramat sangat!!!

after our fish market experience, we walked back

through darling harbour and had to stop by

our best friend's place

the strabucks of course and do it like how we dit good in singapore
just having our dose of caffeine!!

we made our stop once again to paddy's market

before heading back to our hotel

and again we decided to pick up stuffs for colleagues,

bosses, family members blah blah blah

kalau boleh untuk seluruh umat islam di

serata dunia lah nak borongkan barang barang!!!

i think we had so much stuffs in hand that

we had to drop them off in the hotel and

walked down again to grab dinner

when i saw this pink limo by the road,

i had to make fana pose with it

mana lah tahu paris hilton kat dalam ker

DAY 6 SYDNEY 2011

this is one of our challenging days to head for

because it was our blue mountain trip

blue mountain is obviously one of the no 1 attraction

that you have to see and do when you are in sydney, no doubt!
initially us the 3 smart alecks wanted to try to reach blue mt

on our own, and boy were we glad that we did not

set our own foot because the journey was long

and complicated and totally out of the way..

now the pre-story of the blue mountain is like this,

we asked one of the concierge boy, mr conrado

and enquired about the various blue mt packages

and he was so nice explaining the various tours and the itineries

and the safety aspects and then we get up to our hotel room

and discussed and decided to join the anderson tours

day trip blue mountain tour,

which then lead me to contacting another concierge boy

and i believe his name is scott

and he was patient enough to entertain through the hassles of changing

dates and what nots and even went up to our room to

give us the confirmed pamphlet..

so yeah long story cut short,

we had to wake up like 4 am sg time and be one of the

first people to eat breakfast as soon as the restaurant opens up

and then met marcel, our tour guide

and he is another story by himself,

we were all soo impressed with his good attitude

and sharing of knowledge that i had to commend his

good attitude to his boss and post a gd review on trip advisor..

thumbs up!!!

our first stop was featherdale and we saw more

koala bears and kangaroos!!

and when can you see a peacock and penguin roaming

around set loose like this in SG?
freaking funny, i tell you!!!!

when i saw this mary the sheep

(presuming this sheep is a female)

i went "helloo sup kambing!!"

ahahah

trying out the returning boomerang and yes

it does return having tried it out

in the rain and in god knows where which wildforest

we all are in!!!!

we stopped by this waterfall lookout

and we haven even reached blue mountains

but it was sooo freaking cold!!!

it weas so short of cold air coming out from our mouths!!!

finally reached blue mountains and get to see the 3 sisters

the tour guide did tell us the story of the 3 sisters

but if i were to repeat it, i will have

a million loopholes!!

so you have to come down to sydney and

see 3 sisters for yourself, its classic!!!

after katoomba and blue mountains,

we were stopped at the leura village

this was way uphill so it was all so cold

and cold air was coming out from our mouths

and it felt like xmas in june!!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 7 SYDNEY 2011

the sun went out and we were happy

it was 18 degrees sunnny but still very windyy

and thus verrrry cold,

so do not let the sunshine fool you in sydney!!!

our agenda for the day was very simple and plain

and that is for us to board a ferry and go to LUNA PARK

and then later, MORE SHOPPING!!!
AHAHAAHHAHAH

sunny sunny ciruclar quay and harbour bridge

i is happy!!!

get to dry the soaking wet feet!!!!

now, when i mention luna park...
i have to say that we didnt even get to the rides,

we walked passed the entire amusement park

and was very overwhelemed with kids and primary school kids

and all the screaming and shouting and jumping

and what nots, it was pretty much a school excursion!!!

i have to say that this amusement park is loads of fun

i mean had we all decided to take on the rides

we will surely be shouting like all the kids

but we didnt want to, we just wanted to take a look

and right at the end as we were passing out of the park

we were so glad we found a corner where we can take so

many group shots amidst the sydney harbour bridge

it was crazieeeeeeeeeeeee, the view was awesome

and the sun was out like finally after few daysss

and i never thought i will appreciate sun in this way!!!

we even did the visa dances which we have safely kept the

recordings in safe memory sake!!!

how we made a fool of ourselves, getting scared with the passing

by dogs and dog owners ahahaha

this is the day we discovered that paddy's market

has level 2 and beyond..

also the day we discovered, die already, money

is fast running out so we sought to debit and credit cards

and atm withdrawals

yes that bad, kalau dah boleh jual bulu jemput

sure we already do that, all in the name of SHOPPING!!!!

i bought more winter jacket or winter outerwears

and in the name of perseverance,

i still wear them to work every single day

sweating by the mrt track that is!!

mentang2 dah beli kat sydney kalau tak pakai rugi!!!
also the day we discovered to buy a ton of tim tams home

all the different flavous in sydney

and never knew how expensive tim tams were in sg!!

collective shopping haul just for that day!!!

insane,much??

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 8 SYDNEY 2011

if you are a big nature fan, then you will love this day

because we had only one itinery and that is to head

to BONDI BEACH...

i have personally never seen a beach that is this

beautiful and amazing and spectacular

only in probably tv, i guess

but bondi beach is to die for

white sands and turqouise blue green sea water

and surfers and lifeguards and baywatch ambience

and sunny winter sun and cold wind

everything is to die for!!!!

took a bus to bondi area and it was a stuffy bus ride

with all the hot aussie boys and what nots

totally worth it!!!

our tour guide, marcell told us that the apartments

by the bondi beach was sooo expensive

but having seen it with our own eyes,

it is with all the very exact reasons that it is sky high

i mean waking up to see the beautiful beach and sun and sky

and what nots, any person who can afford it will

surely grab the property loh!!!

i mean if papa santa claus can come grant me

a thousand wishes, i will ask for a house by the bondi beach

cheh, berangan jer mahu lebih, gituk!!!

we were just chilling by the beach for about an hour

fana and aishah were staring and oogling

and trying to capture surfer boys on camera!!!
while i slack one corner dengr ipod

and den we started talking about coming to sydney

after 10 years from now, and everytime

we had this kind of chats i get very emotional

because we never know where we will be after this

all of us are amazing career single ladies

with throbbing plans and missions

that i am not suprised if we will be scattered all over the world,

god willing we will still travel for a long time coming!!

this was technically out last night in sydney

and we were busy trying to pack all of our crazy haulages

becuase we all wanted to not be last minute freaks

and we were all panicking because one didnt have space

one didnt know how to pack properly

i didnt noe how heavy all my stuffs are and how

much excess luggage fee i have to pay the next day

panic panic panic!!!

but we tried to calm down, rest for a while and change

to walk to the darling harbour

to have our last dinner in sydney together..

remember i told you that we had zaafran dinner

on the very first night we were there..

now, the reason why we wanted to come back was

because it was the queen elizabeth's birthday

and in conjunction with that, sydney has fireworks on

2 consecutive saturdays.

the first saturday night we were there,

we missed the firework by like what 10 minutes after setting

our foot out of the restaurant

so we seeked vengeance and decided to come back again

the fireworks was scheduled at what 8 pm i think

and trying to make a table reservation for this night was crazy!!!!!!!!!!
we had to be seated by 6 plus and we had 4 course of dinner to go through

and we were eating so slowly

and having the best time management of our lives!!!

the food if i ever forget to mention is to die for

like everything else in sydney it is amazing!!!
i have never had that much lamb and mutton

but we had it all that very night

and cheese naan and all the colourful sauces

salivating in memories!!!!

the fireworks that had me standing at the balcony area of the restaurant

with some other cina cincong tourist

sebok ajer, kita nak tengok dia pun nak tengok!!!
nonetheless, the fireworks coming from the water

i missed that!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DAY 9 SYDNEY 2011

this is the final day in sydney

and obviously we felt so sad trying to

huddle all our luggages and bagpacks and whatnots

and we have a few hours before we were fetched to

the airport, and we dropped by paddy's market again

and this was where i got a few tshirts for my colleagues

at jay jays and i would have gone for a pair of boots

had it not been my very overweight luggage

by the way, on this very last day

i was very very nervous because the hotel

does not have a weighing scale and obviously

later on we found out that sydney airport

did not have one even,

so that made me a complete dead duck !!!

i am so thankful that i have friends who are not self centered

and selfish, because they let me check in my freaking 27kg first

(later did i know how much it weighed)

and they ended up having to hand carry most of their bags..

so i felt very bad but i think they were so nice obviously

bestfriends for 14 years, and this shows so much!!!!

we came to sydney in 3 empty luggages

and we came back with pretty much shopping heaven!!!

it was a good price to pay and we are very satisfied with

allll our haullages!!!!!!!!!!

so that kinds of wrap up my sydney 2011 entry

and having to do this for the 2nd time is

needless to say freaking taxing

but i just wanted to put it down in words before i honestly

forget how it is, obviously i will never forget the sydney memories

and that i was there with 2 amazing bestfriends, any

gerl would want to have..

and to more vacations, gerls!!! <3 <3

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

initially i had a very long entry about a certain mother fucker
but since that previous entry was completely wiped up
i decided not to dwell on anger,

for I am so not going to waste my time on people who are

obviously totally not worth it obviously!!
I still had to show some stuffs i got for

myself when i came back from sydney

the first one was a gift from none other than my mother..

i was so touched when my mother made me go to LV

to pick up the handbag i have always wanted

i personally wanted to get a monogram speedy 40

and when i went to the store and found out

the bandoulier version was out, i was effing stocked

bandoulier version is simply put a speedy with a long strap

the strap is obviously some money but it was an absolute

worthy investment because so many times i just needed

my hands free and the strap is there on the shoulder

or across my body and tadaaaa!

i absolutely love my speedy of course

not withstanding that they were free as they were a gift

but i have always wanted them and finally i got them

i obviously do not need to wait for some useless man to

give me empty promises that he can afford me one

when obviously he cant pay for his own soiled boxers...

but whatever the shiet may be, i got me speedy

and i am rocking it!!!

and then i decided to do some shopping on my own

and it was either between shopbob or asos

and i decided to go ahead with shopbob

for some of you who doesnt know this

because it is always good to educate people as and when you can

shopbob is US based and asos is UK based

i needed a pair of funky shoes and i have been eyeing

these, the ash thelma wedge sneakers

and i know it isnt an everyday pair of shoes

but it goes very well with long leggings

and i wear alot of leggings, pretty much everyday

and only black leggings that is

and i think these are just funky and yet elegant all at the same time

it added so much height to my knees and legs

i felt like i was an avatar having these on,

gawd i love these shoes!!!

i forgot to mention that in my shopbob package

i threw in a pair of sunglasses

i did mentioned i wanted a pair of prada le baroque collection

but i missed it for a few months so i will not dwell on it

but i got a pair of marc jacobs sunglasses

which i have nothing much to say about it

besides the fact that it is a simple, black, classy oversized sunglasses

just the pair i wanted for an everyday throwing on...

Picturesque images

close to heart..
it is THIS beautiful in flesh too!

the best caption ever...

2011-10-02T14:41:00.017+08:00

so, here goes my 26th bday entry
nothing out of the ordinary but i am very

touched in more than one instances this year
so blessed is a HUGE keyword
the order is in shambles, fret not, not playing priority at all..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

did some fine dining lurving with naz
@ kudeta,MBS on thursday night
when it rained as soon as work ends,
i was really not feeeling IT
but as soon as I got to kudeta,it was totally worth it..
i had some time to myself as I was waiting for naz to arrive
and i understood why she wanted to come back for the 2nd time
so I will say, if you are looking for a new restaurant haunt
generally good food, good ambience
you should go to kudeta, i actually like it in totality
super honestly, i am not crazy in love with it,
but i will be back again most definitely!!!
in fact i am trying to dine with nut here the next time..
talking about ambience, its dark and not well lited
but good jazz music at the background
the music is actually VERY loud
so we ended up shouting back and forth
SO back to ambience which can mean few things
you can come here with friends
you can come here for a dinner date with your special one
in fact i told naz, "someone can actually propose here!"
the service is not crazy tip top, but i love how
the waitress are always around your table
not in a hawking way but more in a
"always here to serve way", so thats very nice!!!!!!!!
you have to dress slightly fancier here
because the crowd is more working professionals
with the splashes of angmohs and the likes..

but, it wasnt a night of eye-washing i would say..
ahahahaha
now, in kudeta, they have a sharing policy
so dishes are for like 2 or more
and i am amazed at how simple the dishes may seem on the menu

but how devine they actually taste
(you will get to see the food later)

spicy fried udon, sambal chicken and softshell crab
sounds like dishes from all over the face of the eart
and sure did!!
softshell crab is a "barely there",
because unfortunately, i have tasted better
since i am a jap food fanatic!
(psst:i would say waraku's softshell crab is better)
BUT the sambal boneless chicken, MY GAWD!!
freaking awesome, something is in the sambal, I TELL YOU!!
doesnt seem like a lot of food
but the serving is pretty good
me and naz couldnt finish the food honestly!!
OH THE HORROR!
thr spicy fried udon was a recommendation from naz
and i wasnt a noodle lover so i was again amazed
because the noodles was just right
spicy yes, suprisingly not too starchy

because i hate starchy noodles
and very simple throwing dish

with not an abudnace of ingredients
LOVE IT!

that's some fancy fruit juice in fancy wine glasss...
we is loike!!!
*winks!!!

see, i did the CLAP CLAP!!!
standing ovation for kudeta!!!

wow, i am a lucky gerl, i would say!!
this year, 2 dinings and 2 free dessert course, on the house!!!
i got the bounty cake with orange marshmallows
me and naz blew the candles together
so happy 26th, boobies!!
may your eternal wish come true,
your wish which is to
go get married in maldives and make allllllllll of us happy
FINALLY!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and then a birthday token from the colleagues
kartika, dzul, caleb & ivy
ivy who is on hospitalization leave from apendicitis surgery
speedy recovery, mama dolly!!!!!!!!!!

kartika was responsible for getting me the birthday gift
got sephora vouchers last year
and this year, since saham birthday jatuh mendadak
12 people end up to 4 people, how sad eh!
i was honestly suprised i got a nubuck black handbag/slingbag
which is so APT!
sumpah mak tak tipu!!!
no seriously, so APT you know this present
BECAUSE let me tell you
since i will be flying to bali in december with the colleagues
i was actually throwinh things in the luggage
and i realised damn it, i don actually have a nice black slingbag
i did have one but that one can only put hacks sweet inside
and nothing else!!
so seriously I really needed to have a sling black bag

which is simple enough for the day tours
and slightly edgy for the night something something
so i think ,kartika did a damn good job!!!
it was literally JUST WHAT I NEEDED
and since we all know now,
charles and keith is like adek beradek chanel
bersebalahan prada adik ipar muimui
and we know it is so expensive these days,

last time the shoes 19.90 now 99.90,
lagi lah i loike this bag, very the class!!!!

and the funny birthday card that i get every year
and the best shiet ever will be, this card is yeah ME!
yelah part mad mad ni semua aku jer lah...
part sexy part jambu part amazing, actually AKU JUGAK!
jangan marah!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
birthday dinner with the bestfriends
SUPRISE birthday dinner i would say
(warning: amzingly gorgeous photos)
because pakai camera bedek binte tipu, as usual..
i had this dinner a couple of days before the birthday itself
i was given 3 destination choices
mongolia, spain and france
wah, excited lah I!!!
for a split second, i thought
wah they buying me holidy tickets, meh?
and then i thought,
no lah they buy for me,lagi better they buy for themselves eh!!
so i chose france, it was pretty clear cut!
i knew that we were having dinner at a french restaurant
i just didnt know WHERE
i was forbidded to research
actually in all honestly I FORGOT to do it in the sly anyways
ahahaha, kental jugak aku!!!
we dined at le bistro parisien@ haji lane
and kengkawanz, this is another FUNTASTIC recomendation
of both food and ambience!
common lah, don say "wah everywhere she eat, also nice"
i have eaten pretty bad food before
but i don necessarily wanna publish bad food
that is meng-aibkan orang kan
which doesnt make me so nice, right?

yours truly, looking very much like a 26 year old girl
ye ker??? my boss and her secretary thinks i am 21
i get away with juvenile murder, still :=]

this parisien shop-house restaurant is small, yet comfy and cosy
the concept however is VERY UNIQUE
unique to a point where i really have to question
WHAT IS THE LINK,SEH?
the wall decorations is 100% traditional old malay superstars
think p ramlee,saloma and friends..
so I was suprised when fana said the chef and owner
of parisien restaurant is a malay uncle, chef noordin
who stayed in paris prolly for over 20 years
and came back to singapore to open this restaurant..

what i didnt get is p ramlee,saloma and friends on the wall
somebody just tell me!!
so i gather that prolly its just the owner's personal favourite.
i just love the french music playing at the back ground
and a shelf behind our table filled with cd-s and ikea stuffs
very fresh and personable, the concept i would say!
and the owner himself is so personal, he goes from table to table
ask for reviews and make small chats and joke with them
and take photos with the customers
i mean, the fact that he comes out and have these personal touches
make dining soooo comfortable
like as if you've been there a million times only!

don forget to make reservations,
judging from the size of the eatery
it doesnt hold much and tables are all full
so walk ins are a big no-no
find them on FACEBOOK, if you guys are keen!
that's how the bestie found it

the girls..
we got a window seat by the corner
very privateeeeeeee!!!
but sitting by a bunch of laughing
(no make that NAK MAMPOS PUNYER
KETAWA SAMPAI ANAK TEKAK BOLEH JATUH ATAS PINGGAN)
girls is not so private!!!
just saying, people HAPPY mah, people laugh loh!!!
i happy, i eat quietly loh!

the menu, which takes you on a french language crash course
tip: be smart and just read the english translation,
don act smart and try to red out loud the french meals
and still not able to decide what to eat, after the whole menu dah katam..

good starters!!!
ni roti perancis is very wow wow lil bow wow, you know
den you sapu mentega, wow meletup, macam makan tepi eiffel tower!

everytime i see photos from the bedek binte tipu camera
i don have the heart to not stay karat blonde
but i have to be realistic as it is and
remind myself that this is a freaking liar camera
and of course armpit hair also will look nice!!
cannot be deceived!!!
reading the birthday card from the girls
got my big photo, got big HAPPY BIRTHDAY and very pink!!!!
why, 26 years old cannot get punk birthday card,meh?
it is now on my dresser by the cordless phone and wall
MADE IT TO WALL OF FAME!!

birthday gift, which i do not expect to get
because WE all have decided not to get anything
because we spend big money on our june trip
so this was an extra nice token..
i was like what could they possibly they get from robinsons

i couldnt guess, just like i couldnt guess a million other things

ahahahaha, i know lah confirm must have something to do
with our sydney trip
and since these girls are so good at replenishing my mugs collection
they got me another cup with us jumping on bondi beach
this, is my home cup..
too sayang to put it in office cos i will miss it on weekends

good enough to drink coffee on weekend mornings

good enough to drink soda on weekday nights...

omg, i am so guilty now cos i totally forgotten
all the dishes name since this is a week old entry..
oopsie, but this was supposed to be our appetizer or something
and its fish paste with cheese, and literally PRETTY GOOD
mashy mashy goodness!!!

me and fana's choice of paris food..
i mean, i will accept it if you say "looks nothing near fantastic"
but i will say boy, looks can deceive
like me lah, sometimes ugly sometimes pretty BUT very awesome!!
sumpah tak bedek! but that's me
now for the food, this is chicken pasta i think
ALAMAK, the few slices of mushrooms they throw inside
mampus punyer flavourful, tak bedek!!
i totally look so weird saying this again and again on that very night
"eh mushroom dier sedap gilerrrrr per"
mushroom pun boleh sedap, budak ni!!! ishk ishk
the creamy chicken pasta is simply put "tak muak"
light, flavourful and deserved to be walloped clean..

asha's choice of dinner is hmmm
something like irish lamb stew
but i am pretty not sure whether this is mutton or beef
but i can remembered what a dish it was, a superb one
i think it must be the french spices that does it
all i can remember was how just flavourful a piece of potato or
vegetable or meat is..
and i just realised i mentione "flavourful" like
57 times already, so a million of flavourful apologies, i wud say!!!

group huddle shots of the parisien dishes!!!

3 slices of their specialty cakes in generous amounts
and it was on the house!!!
crazy, i tell you!!!

i have never tasted something like the "yellow" cake before
and this is why this eatery is floating somewhere at the top of
my "must go again" dining places
it is anice blend of mango and few kind of berries cake
a piece of cake that starts you with an initial flavour and
ends you of with another fruit flavour...
macam cake magic lah pulak...

one of the other cake is tiramisu
and the other one is also exquisite because if i am not
wrong its like chocolate with something something else
kan dah cakap, cake magic!!!

chef noordin made a cameo again with a bday gift
on the house again, apparently its halal french chocolate
its actually bitter choclate which i finished in 5 bites
the very next morning. ahahhaah, coklat sedap lagi lagi FREE kan!!!

the chef owner himself...
kekek per ni chef!!! he actually went
"BIRTHDAY GERL,WALAAAAAAAAA"
when this photo was snapped..

mark your presence down in this fancy guestbook!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i kind of just realised that i did my bday in 3 parts with nut and naz
wow, record breaking i'd say!!!
2 weeks even before the bday
i had a bday dinner with nut @ swensens
DISAPOINTED actually, cos i want my LAWRY RIBS!!!
kidding, nut has her discount good deal coupon
so we had to utilised it well
and what better timing then to use it for my bday meal right...
the reason why we dined so early
was because nut went for her surgery and she is
on sick-person-diet for an entire month..
speedy recoveries!!!
(we did a house visit cum cut cake too, below!!)

probably the only thing i want to eat plates plates plates of,
cheesy mussels I effing lurveeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

and my plate of very healthy food
BIG MISTAKE!!!
never eating salmon for dinner again
unless it sashimi lah..
the last time i had salmon baguette, 1st april incident happened
and i had this salmon dinner and i went home
everything in the tummy rumbles..
swensen didnt do a gd job with this meal, nyeh!!!

my hangbao from nut!!!
broke all promises with this hangbao
i had to open it on my bday and get something which
she intended to get me which is my chanel loose powder
nope, opened it as soon as i got home
and use the good money for some other random stuffs!!!
my hangbao mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
me and naz did a house visit to visit of course our good friend
fresh out of hospital with her surgery and all that..
and no she didnt get pregnant and had her caesarian delivery
ahahaha, but she does act like one though
we cannot make her laugh too hard
because she will clutch her tummy
and go "oh no my stomach!!"
see lah, if people too fertile, give birth to 12th child, very susah!!!

as requested and naz did not FAIL!!!
carrot cake for me and naz ordered from temptations bakery
(i think tempations lah from east coast, something that starts with T)

i just realised my wondrous speedy is on the floor
OH THE HORROR!!!
(its been on all kind of floors actually! never the mind if its
like a ten grand bucks bag, aku ni chincai lah nak mampos,
peduli aper aku!!!)

as you can tell and you shouldnt be suprised actually
nut is a winnie the pooh freak
where should i start about her obsession?
so obsessed she wants winnie the pooh theme wedding
crazy much!

sumpah boyfren dier dah malas nak layan dier
muka pun dah macam winnie the pooh pun
(totally bitching about nut here, so must bitch in malay!!)

so coming to queen pooh's house and to be surrounded
by her "kids" will just be as normal and clear as day lah
lucky, my hands long enought to hug all
2 of which are gifts from naz and me
not withstanding the fact we are expected to give her more...
ahahaaa
by the way, we had a great hospitality from nut and aunty nut
green chicken noodle, ginger tea, bubur cha cha, carrot cake
wah balik, damn berak siah!!!
(must be ginger tea!!!)

naz who told me to wear sexy...
and then i got scared cos i thought maybe got suprise party
yah lah, suprise party with alll the pooohssssssssssssss

wah, how come i look like i put on flour on my face!!!

with aunty nut!!!!!
we love aunty nut, aunty nut so nice!!!!
poor thing, she have to sleep early
we watch 3/4 of a ghost movie with her
cos aunty nut must go sleep
then ghost story hang halfway also!!!
aahahahahaha

3 different girls with 3 different walks of life
and 3 different stories to tell
actually looking back how we befriend each other when we were
18 years old, funny story to reminisce and to be told!!!
glad that nut is getting married in march
and naz is very happy with her never ending love story..
i am happy i have my alien friends with me till now!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++

so there you go,
nothing too fancy BUT well loved all around
the key to having an amazing birthday
in my dictionary that is, will be to have it with loved ones
partying with a club full of strangers WOULD be fun
but how memorable will it be when you wake up the following morning?
as compared to having meaningful dinners with your loved ones!!!
see what i mean.
i had a great 26th filled with love
and i was really really really thankful to god
for having to celebrate another landmark year of my life!!!

2011-09-27T20:58:00.002+08:00

I have had it.
I am saying goodbye to all the superficial issues I have in my life
And I am starting with Facebook.
I have been thinking of deleting my account for a while
but something happened in my life
and then BAM, this is it, I am so done!
Facebook, unlike Friendster
has not made me a better person
and to begin with, I am not all that good
and now WORSE, dead!
And I was discussing these pointers with the bestfriend
and we came up with pretty much the same things
(for those of you who are wondering

"oh maybe she deleted because her bestfriend did the same")
YES and NO
thought about it before, did it together with the bestfriend.
besides let's be honest here,
not like you will care dropping by my FB
to leave me a comment or 2 like my bestfriend did.
(guilty,much? I thought so too)
So here are my reasons why I really deleted my account
(not like I owe anyone a story but
this is my blog and this is my blog.period)
I felt that for the years I was holding the account
I became very superficial, fake, just so fake
I just wanted to challenge everyone I knew
oh she has that top in that brand,
well I can afford something else more expensive
oh she goes there for holiday
I can go further
oh she got married and her wedding is as such
who cares, her husband is a jerk and I know
and that's such a cheap wedding I can tell
(get that drift)
and it doesnt make it any easier than the fact
that I like to do whatever people say NO
and I like to be the last person standing, winning of course.
I am turning 26 in a matter of days

and in the process of being a better person
I don't think I need an outlet to brag,
to show off and to challenge
I am a pretty self-satisfied person
and I am a very happy person in nature
I honestly do not need to let people know who I am
People who matters know.
PLUS with the death of this account, I never feel the need
to be so pressurized to impress
I do not need to think till I shrivel in pain
as to what I need to wear so I can look good
So that I dont have to consciously think not to repeat
clothes, so that people wont say.
to think and think what to buy so that people can wow
NOT EVER AGAIN!
The next point was
I got very addicted to checking the updates
I dont have enough time in a day to fend for myself
to update myself
to be intune with my heart
and here I am being so addicted to
knowing why A is so angry
and why B is so happy
and why C is so sad
I do not need to know
A's shopping photos
B's holiday photos
C's random gathering with friends photo
I CAN, but I do not need to
(there's a difference)
I don need to check updates the first thing I wake up
and the last thing before I sleep
addiction to FB wasnt a good thing
I dont need to share photos with people
and get people to talk
cos boy, when they talk, they bitch
things get ugly.period.
I do not need to publish my life because
people assume with their tiny minds
"oh she clubs, she must be depressed
she must be out of control, poor thing
putus tunang slalu gini, kesian eh"
"wah show off nyer, baru belik satu benda brand ni
nak show off lah konon tu"
doesnt need to be a rocket scientist to know
what you are thinking.
did i hit it below your belt, there?
feeling the pinch?
SEE, minus this account,
I have time to think and recount what I did in the day
to relax and wonder and let my mind run free
and dream some more
to just have "me" time..
to be in contact with real friends
to have real phone calls and real smses with real people
not just having 200 over people in my friendlist
who don even bother saying hi, when we bump in the mall.
AND
i have a few more pointers but I think my message is set across
besides, fb is just another social network
what makes you think you wont delete it either
you sure you still want to check in to random places
and publish photos and comment on tagged pictures
in another 5 years
you sure about that?

you may not agree with me now,
but trust me people when you finally deactivate your account
you may be thinking of me.
and before i end this entry,
the final reason why i decided to shot the account in the head
was when my 2 bestest cousins in the entire world
decides to kill each other virtually
they may NOT be thinkiing of me when they are protecting their pride
but the conclusion to it all is I now lost 2 cousins whom I love so much
they do not realise this but I am saying it like it is
they may not care about me but I care about them
I always think about them and love them like my own brothers
always looking forward to meet them
and then its all done and over with.
I was telling my bestfriend that I think about the hatred between them
and my heart was filled with so much sorrow
I cried to sleep.
So cousins, when both of you finally get around to accepting each other
as blood and family again, I will be the happiest peson alive.
Because deep down you know how much you 2 matters to me
and here "standing" between the 2 of you between this fight,
is truly and honestly the hardest place to be in.

with this raya entry, i officially call my raya 2011 a wrap!!!

initially I didnt want to go out raya visiting with the frens

because I wasnt just feeling it this year

(tu angin pus pus satu badan, tapi sekejap jer!!!)

but somehow, I managed to pull through

and we went ahead

even with our 3 amigos small tiny clan and only 4 houses

we enjoyed the visit tremendously!!!

ringkas, tak leceh,

tak perlu satu lori satu van kengkawan yang

satu tahun cuma nampak sekali

tapi eksyen very the friendly.

tu semua TAK PERLU yer!!!!

Kita harus perlu kawan sejati yang walaupun

muka dorang dah lemau dan basi

nampak minggu minggu,

tapi kawan sebegini lah yang kamu semua ader yer di dalam hidup!!

susah giler aku nak cari kawan yang boleh melekat dengan aku

dah nak masuk 15 tahun walaupun dorang tahu

hakikatnyer aku kalau tidor berdengkor macam mak badak!!!!

BUT ANYWAYS

i just wanna say that even though walaupun 4 rumah jer

but its not about the kueh, the drinks or the whatever

but in every house, we catch up in the most deepest sincerest chat ever

dig a little in each other's secret and just be way more awesome

not like as if we are not awesome bestieses, to begin with..

and having serve them aliff nasi lemak tengah hari buta

EID 2011 entry
I am pretty fast this year to upload my raya post

as I think only the first day is pretty cool

because that was the day I could finally divulge

photos of my new makeover living room

The red and zebra walls were alllllllllll

painstakingly painted by my dad

Every single stripe is measured and taped down

and then painted and

I honestly think my father did a great job!!!
everything is freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Prior to raya, we went furniture buying @ ikea

we got 2 new sofas and some wall mirrors and frames

and new dining table which i didnt shot

the sofas didnt match BUT not everything has to match

and thats what i think gives every single house character

but all in all, i am very proud of my house!!!

very chantek loh, its pweety!!!!!!!!!!
my parents can rest for at least few years before

they can come up with something brilliant again..

one of the attractions, more of a play corner for kids
these stickers look brainless and you may think its easy
but the branches didnt come connected
so i spend a bomb of a time,
trying to make it look like a decent tree
you guys have no idea how many times,

it look like some grandfather's walking stick cane..

eve of raya, the gerberas didnt last

and the kuehs were not out yet!!
ahahha

essentials of a first day raya..
we went out really late for visiting
like 3 ish, 4 pm because my father decided
it is absolutely pertinent to paint bathroom ceilings
on the first day of raya
VERY IMPORTANT YOU KNOW!!

HI!!!!
ahahaha, decided to a 3 part bleach prior to raya..
and it came out way too golden than i expected
Definitely not the exact shade as I expected
and I am not sure whether i will be going pure black after this
or way lighter of a blonde... haven decided!!!
but one thing for sure, being labelled lady gaga

by my maternals is not funny..
well technically it is funny until it make me think
gaga is skinny lehhh but hor... ahahaha, NEVERMIND!!

finally whipped my red lipstick, and put it to good use!!
not bad eh,i tot red lipstick is sooo difficult to pull off!!

honestly, its time for a new camera
the current one has served me for i think 5 or 6 years
and sometimes its good other times it doesnt live up
so much to expectation, its time to have a back up..
thinking of investing of dslr but i am tech shiet!!

flash lighting is sooo bad when you have bleached hair
and heavily concealed eyebrows
dah macam nenek kebayan!!!

my brother has a black suit to match the family
but being an ass as usual, he decided to
wear his hot pink suit which is actually his suit with his gf..
extra punyer kambing!!!

TOTALLY FORGETTING TO TAKE PHOTO WITH THE MOTHER!!

i kasi duit raya k, even though aku tak fair langsong!!
kasi mak double then bapak sampai kena complain yer!!!
pesanan hidup dari seorang anak, kena fair yer!!
nanti kena sumpah jadi fishball, susah!!

di rumah nenek, went back to sengkang
past 2 years was at sembawang
and with my 2 gerl cousins
sebelah kiri suker act jadi dj and cium ketiak sendiri
and sebeleah kanan dah macam kucing betina meraung ahahaah!!!

with cuz sham, besok besok kalau dah dapat kerja kat lv
tu tandanya doa aku termakbul lah untuk kau!!
so, kau jangan luper kakak sedara kau yang satu satunyer kat sini
kasi staff discount yer, adek sepupu!!!

with cuz shindo, who is kejam kelip kejam kelip
is gonna be someone's husband loh!!!!!!!
tak padan ni, innocent decent nonsense
pun mengernyam nak kahwin buat anak!!!
ishkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

kami the blonde sisters, ingin mengucapkan
selamat hari raya, NYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
