Post Spore

i am home after a 8 wonderful days of holiday in singapore. pictures coming up soon! (hopefully). my ultimate goal was to visit the bestie who is currently residing in singapore, the land of all stresses ; P in short, the trip was a success : ) i had great fun. shopping was saddening due to the unreasonable exchange rate. food was mediocre standard. company was good. why oh why do we not have holidays everyday. i love cities but not singapore - why? becos everywhere is crowded/jam-packed every single minute and seconds. suffocating :S and part of my lack of shoppingness for clothes was becos i no longer have the energy or enthusiasm to push and shove everyone just to get my hands on a shirt. and no, i will not wait 1 hour in line just to try 1 piece of clothing : P and the worse part, public toilets in shopping malls are always always ALWAYS filled with ppl..i dun recall once in spore where i don't have to be in line just to go pee :S argh! in my opinion, i really still very much prefer malaysia : )

snail

makan makan

ever since i came home last saturday..all i've done is eat eat and eat. i've eaten so much food its not even funny :S (especially when the figure for my weight count is increasing exponentially by the day..). places that i've makan about so far :

• jin xuan hong kong for dimsum - i reckon melb's dim sum is actually much nicer
• little penang cafe @ mid valley - one of the places that i must go every year when im home..their ice kacang is the best! it's one of those very few places that serves ice kacang with rootbeer as their topping : D
  
• delicious @ 1U - my first time to this rather pricey cafe(?). their main dish (i ordered spicy seafood spaghetti was just alright for its price.) but i must say their dessert (which i ordered applelicious with vanilla ice cream) was really quite good for msian standard : ) but its rm12.90 for 1 apple pie..hphm..expensive.
  
• zen @ pyramid - japanese food in a classy looking restaurant, i went in with shorts..and i actually felt quite inappropriate considering everyone around me was in dresses :S since when msians are so dressy while visiting shopping malls?? my chicken katsu don set cost me rm30 : ( but again, the food was really quite good : ) or maybe im being less picky..
• pantai seafood restaurant - chinese food *yum yum* had my favourite kangkong belacan ; )

thats as far as i can remember at the moment, shall continue the list in a weeks time to remind myself how freaking fat i am :S

HELP @ PBD

i went to renew my passport at pusat bandar damansara today, it's actually where my college is. the immigration office is just a couple of doors away from my college. it has been a long while since i came back to HELP, in fact, if my memory serves me right, the last time i was here, it was with yijun to collect my a levels certificate. looking back it's almost 5 years since i left HELP. time does fly..scarily fast. i was trying to look for the "zhai man" today but unfortunately i don't think mr zhai is there anymore (those from HELP would know what im talking about - he serves the best curry mutton ever!..i still remember those crazy days when we were so desperate to buy his food till we even helped him to set up his stall by the roadside). actually, nothing seems the same there anymore. its way crowded than before. and many new shops have actually opened there - secret recipe, watson's just to name a few. the level 4 building that we used to have our classes..i don't think its there anymore (i actually din take the lift up but there wasnt any student hanging around, so im guessing they closed it down?). nevertheless, while i was walking past KFC - i remembered how jinweng used to tease me saying how he never got to eat KFC in peace since he befriended me cos i despise KFC : P, while i stroll past starbucks - i remembered how i used to sit there waiting for transport, while i walked past pizza hut, i remembered the time we had our lunch together as a group after our exams..and of course, mcdees!! our daily brekkies together : ) the good ol' memories...a levels was fun..1.5 years whizz by so fast!

went jalan-jalan with mummy @ mid valley today before heading back to collect my new passport. i came home empty handed! omg. seriously i didn't even see anything nice..anything that make me slightly wanna buy it..hphm..is it me being more n more picky? or isit fashion in msia is not right for me? keke

airport drama

my semester 8 exams ended on friday -5/12 late afternoon. melissa and i went back to pack and settle most of our apartment issues before heading to the airport for our midnight flight. i somehow was not as excited as i thought i would be but nevertheless, was very thankful that exams are over and holidays begin now. i didn't manage to get much sleep throughout the entire journey and as i was expected i looked very "chan". while waiting for our luggage, suddenly there was an announcement which went something like this "ms chong "lai" chia from flight mh128 flying from melb to kl pls report to *mumbles mumbles*". our first reaction was to stare at each other in the most disbelief face. the announcement went for 4 times - twice in english twice in bm. what happened was, melissa and i checked in 3 luggages together, i had two melissa had 1. the guy told me that 1 of the 3 luggages were left in melbourne and would only arrive later that night. i cannot imagine what would have happened if it was mine that was left behind because my dress for my brother's wedding dinner was inside my luggage. anyway, it was melissa's luggage. thankfully for her nothing really important was in her luggage. their reason for her left behind luggage was - stuck in the conveyer belt. wth. that's not a reason! airport drama for the first and hopefully the last time...

good luck : )
