I miss you

Penang trip was fun! =)

But Yi Ting blogged about it already and I don't really feel like blogging about it.

Just one photo of it. One of my favourite photos we took there. Why? Because we all look so wonderfully happy and so devoid of world's pain and stress from KMK. =P


But you know what?

During my trip to Penang, one of the things I thought most was not about food, which Penang is famous for, shopping, the sun and the sea but my family.

Because 3 months before this, around August, my family brought me down to Penang. Batu Ferringi to be specific.

So I have to say, while in places I visited with my family, every sight and sound reminds me of Mummy, Daddy, Ah Tei and Ah Mei. Even though they can be annoying at times (especially the last two. Haha!), I bet their presence will make me feel as if everything in the world is fine.

And so when I was thinking of them, I remembered that I didn't blog about my Penang trip in August. Haha! How odd! I am suppose to be blogging about my Penang trip in November but no! I'm blogging about the one in August. o.O

Okay, so I won't be blogging with all the specific details about where I went, what I ate. Just caption a few photos and that will be all. I think. =)

P.S: I miss you, my dear Nikon D60.

Mummy and Popo. So sweet. =)

Can't resist taking this photo! If you love Penang, that means you love me! Because my name is PG (PehGe)! Okay I'm just joking. But seriously! Was so tempted to buy this T-shirt but in the end I figured it was not worth it.

Fave photo of the trip for several reasons: Family, the way the photo looks and Daddy's and Ah Tei's expression. I miss you guys. =(

A once in a blue moon sibling photo where it actually looks presentable.

Daddy standing in the middle of the splashing waves.

=D

Ah Tei should go to drama classes since he has countless dramatic expression. I think he was complaining about the sea. Or me for taking too many photos of him.

Hehe.

Sand sand sand! Me and Daddy's leg. Now you see where I inherit the hairy leg gene from.

The gorgeous blue sky. =)

Life back in KMK had been okay, I guess. Not too good, not too bad though I'm kinda frustrated over things such as the oncoming CNY celebration (1 more week!), studies and all. Freaking tired all the time, probably because of dance practice every single day.

Anyway, lot more to talk about but spent too much time loading photos.

I wanna go back home, like now! Or at least talk to my parents and get to see their face. =(

Argh, I'm so freaking homesick.

Dum dum de dum...

Update:

Yay! Webcam with Daddy! and Voice Call with Mummy! and Ah Tei!

Woopedeedoo!

Prim and Proper

Okay, my blog post yesterday was plain and absolutely boring so here I'm, to make up for my "wrong doings" i.e. not blogging properly with a proper topic and such.

So what should I talk about today?

*think think think* ala Pooh Bear
Okay I'll talk about what's happening now in my room. My roommates are discussing about 25 of November 2009. Oh my God. I can seriously hear my heart thumping against my ribcage just hearing them talk about it. What's worse they are teasing me about my results and just 10 seconds ago I was screaming, punching my Bio book and throwing my bantal busuk around. Not a sight to behold.

*leans over to look at book*

Great, now my Bio book is folded.

Anyway, D (roommate) was talking about how her lecturer always tease them about how on 25th of November they are going home. Technically, we are supposed to go home on that day but what the lecturer meant was literally going home and never coming back. Because if your results are terrible, you are going to be dibuang college.

And I am reminded of my lecturer laughing and grinning his 笑里藏刀 (literal translation: Knife hidden in the smile) smile. Just thinking about it makes me, UGH. Enough with the jokes already. It hits not one, but multiple nerves in my body.

If thinking about it makes me go cuckoo, I wonder what will happen to me on D-day.

No. Better not think about it.


Education fair also came to KMK and we get to ask questions to UM, UKM, USM people. I think I annoyed the hell out of the UKM guy as I asked him endless questions.

What is Audiology about?
Speech therapy? What what who?
Dentistry, what is the minimum requirement? How many students you accept a year?
Biomedical science. Are the job prospect good?
Environmental health?
Environmental science?
Etc etc etc.

Ah, you get by point.

I think I would LOVE Biomedical Science. I don't mind working in a lab for a whole day, 'playing' with blood, faeces and urine, analyzing them. Dentistry is still my first choice but I'm currently analyzing myself and whether my personality points towards Dentistry or other medical field related courses.

Loads to ponder about. My future and all. =(

Coming back here, I have to revert to my KMK lifestyle again. But this time around, I am WAY more lazy to make an effort to walk all the way to the cafe (a short distance but...) Dinner these days consists of (my parents are going to nag about this) Muesli with milk with added cornflakes or plain cereal. Oh the horror!

BUT! I exercised more than last time. Went jogging yesterday morning and today morning too. The weather was misty yesterday and I can barely see through the mist. Actually, you CAN'T see anything past a few metres. It was so thick it actually condensed on my glasses, forming droplets blocking my view.

Note to self: When going to jog in misty weather, remind self to change to contacts.

On a more personal note, I absolutely do not like (hate/loathe is too harsh of a word), DO NOT LIKE, people to put words into my mouth. Sure, they sound like they are asking a question but hear carefully and you can hear a tone in their voice that makes go ARRRRGGGH! In my mind of course, not out loud.

Do not like do not like do not like. Bluek. *sticks tongue out*

Sigh. I love roller coasters, except for the emotional kind.

Anyway, ciao.

=(

Cookie crumbs

It's been a week now since I'm back to Kedah. =P

I have no idea what to update you guys about, other than the fact that I went shopping today and splurged on peanut butter with peanut bits. Peanut butter tastes even better than Nutella if I do say so myself. =)

Now I just have to find something to spread it on. It would taste GREAT on white bread but spent too much money today. =P

I was looking through my handphone photos and found some very random ones.

Me and my mom. Kekeke... we look alike right?
Plus, she loves to camwhore. Chey, just joking lah.

Sight from plane. LOVE the clouds. It would be fun to study meteorology. The clouds, sky, weather, storm system etc. Me likey!

Dan Qi and Daphenie on the airplane. =) Forgot why Dan Qi was laughing. Hmm...

Hui Yi and Ee Jye. =P

Nothing else to update I guess. And I'm too lazy to think of any.

Relax

A good book,

A warm cup of tea,

makes my day.


P.S: I am in love with British accent. It's so... sexy.

But then again, 'an accent' is something so unsubstantial, how do you actually love it?

But then again, love is also unsubstantial. Love is important (duh), but technically not a substance.


P.S.S: I feel like eating IndoMee Mi Goreng. By the way, did you notice the IndoMee brand Mi Goreng is no longer on shelves? I only see another brand of Mi Goreng which has the exact same packaging as the former but differs only in it's name.


P.S.S.S: Forgot to blog about Kepong trip. Oh well.

Here is the link for the photos on Facebook. Yes, I know I'm lazy. =P

Home and 'Project'

This week had been a hectic week...

NOT.

But I enjoyed it, even though I am a tad bored. And what did I do, during these past few days?

1. Photo-taking

Was too freaking bored. So I took out my camera and took photos of literally EVERYTHING I see.

See, I even took photos of my mom's cooking!

Steamed brinjal with chilli paste.

Steamed fish (this photo doesn't do the fish justice. =X)

My love for steamed food intensified after staying in KMK. My mom is tired of my everyday demand for steamed, oil-free food. Haha!

2. Facebooking

Non-stop. What can I do? Nobody is updating their blog and no other website can capture my attention. Truth be told, Facebook isn't all that interesting either but because everyone else is there, playing games, chatting and commenting on photos, I did that too.

And FC is such a good place to stalk other people. *evil laugh*

Eh, not that I stalk people okay? *cough cough*

3. Reading novels.

It is depressing to say that I'm still reading Wuthering Heights after one week. Sob sob. It doesn't help that the storyline is too slow and sad because of Heathcliff's cruelness.

Good news is that I still have 30 pages left and then I can start on the other novels I bought! Spent RM1XX buying novels! Can you believe it? I guess the only thing I am willing to spend LOADS of moneys on is books. Other than that, I am pretty much extremely kiam siap, unwilling to spend unnecessary money on food and clothes.

4. Ballet class!

My leg is aching now because I went to ballet class yesterday. Seeing Phin Phin, Bea and Ms. Leong again after so long makes me so happy! And of course, dancing itself made me hyper! We did Advanced 2 work and it was freaking tough. They expect us to do triple turns!? *pengsan*

But I managed to do triple turns also lah. Makes me feel so liberated because I never knew I can do it! *jumps in delight*

5. My 'project'!

I was pseudo-productive during the holidays because of this:

I've taken up knitting!

I can SO see this image forming in your mind when your see the word KNIT: A white curly haired grandmother sitting on a rocking chair, in the house porch, humming a song while knitting.

But knitting is such a stress reliever and absolutely empties out your mind. Something that depresses depression (o.O) is what I need right now and knitting meets the criteria. It is repetitive without being tiring as it only uses my fingers and because you know at the end of the tunnel, you know the time you spent on doing it will produce an amazing article that you feel proud of and plus, it can be worn (because in my case, I made a scarf but you can make other types of article too, depending on what you feel like making)!

1st attempt: Knit garter snitch all the way. Because me and my mom deemed it WAY too thick (around 8 inches), absolutely unsuitable for Malaysian climate, we decided to frog it (Knitting term for pull the yarn ALL out). I swear I felt a pang at my heart when I frogged the scarf.

Close up of the repetitive knitting pattern. Don't know any other types of stitch since I just learn how to do basic knitting the day before yesterday.

After frogging my first too thick (width length wise) scarf, I searched the Internet for patterns which are easy for me and I ended up doing a dropped stitch scarf (with the help of Youtube knitting tutorials. Thank God for technology! If not, I would have to drive all the way to Taipan again for knitting lessons).

Work in progress. 3 hours into knitting.

Making use of my DSLR aperture control. =)

And finally, last night I finished the scarf. But I took the photo this morning because I prefer sunlight more than flash light in taking photos.

Yea, I know it's pretty messy. =( But if you don't look THAT carefully it's okay.

Yes, I made this myself! Seriously. I'm wondering when can I wear it. =)

I love ballet and crafty stuff!

Okay I guess that's it for now. Ciao!

Я вернусь!

Ooo... I love the Russian language because of two reasons. One, it's written form looks absolutely gorgeous and mysterious. Second, it is related to ballet.

Yea, I can sense you guys going: What is WRONG with her and her nonsensical talk about ballet ALL DAY LONG? Well, because I found a new ballerina to swoon at and she is absolutely gorgeous. Wait, that sounds kinda wrong. Just to get things in the right track, I'm straight =P

Great dancer and someone I can relate to because her arch is exactly like mine! But her technique is so amazing, it's jawdropping. Literally. And I get goosebumps all over after I watch her do her grand jetes. =)

And she is so freaking flexible and strong.



She totally captured the essence of Esmeralda. Strong and fierce.

Okay, enough of my babbling on ballet. I know some people just simply can't stand ballet. Grr.

Anyway, I'm back in Selangor and guess what did I do when I first arrived home?

I took a deep breath and thought: YAY! I smell the 'home' smell!

And here is what happened subsequently:

I enter my room. Took a deep breath. Yay! Room smell!

I open my closet. Grab a T-shirt. Yay! House-washed clothes smell!

I step into the bathroom. Jumped around in the bathroom. Yay! Finally entering a bathroom without wearing slippers!

I rummaged through the storeroom. Pulled out my stillettos. Yay! High heels!

Well you get the point.

Yesterday was MUET Speaking Test. It was okay. And then we had the whole afternoon free. And guess what we did?

Being girls, me, Daph, Adeline and Patricia camwhored for at least 2 hours. The majority of the photos are at Daphenie though. Still waiting for her to send me the photos.

Ah lazy to blog liao. Toodles!

Can I turn back time?

I hate myself sometimes.

How can I express myself more efficiently? It's now all vent up inside. I'm not like some of the girls, who cry at every moment of sadness and self-pitying. Yea, eventhough I laugh, I smile, it doesn't mean I'm not drowning in this sea of negative vibes right now, some contributed by me (the bad vibes I mean).

Ugh. I don't like this. I really absolutely don't like this.

=(

P.S: I was not even exercising or doing any strenuous activity and my pulse at rest is already 80 beats per minute.
