Four Seasons

Jatuh dari katil

2010-02-23T03:57:00.002+08:00

When I was a little kid, my 2nd tita, Shaz, and I always argue who's going to sleep at the end corner. Both of us want to avoid from sleeping at the corner cos we always fall down from the bed. It's been more than a decade dah. And today, while I was doing my assignment, she fell down. It was so funny! I witnessed it.

And last time, we used to argue a lot on who is getting bigger piece of food. We always wanted the bigger piece. But now, we argue on who's getting the smaller piece. Nak jaga badan lah kononnya. We argue when one of us gets the smaller piece. Haha. Zaman kecil2 dulu. =)

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Land of Sheep

2010-02-16T10:17:00.009+08:00

About a week ago, I was harassed by Spring and Summer gediks to blog. They spammed my facebook wall with really funny comments and even my own blog wasn't spared any mercy. So yeah, here I am starting to blog again. Sorry for the hiatus readers, I guess having two blogs is harder than I'd thought.

It's Chinese New Year and I'm pretty sure everyone out there is having fun stuffing their tummies with yummy food and cookies, oranges, busy collecting ang pows, gambling and visiting relatives. But the highlight of every CNY will always be the reunion dinner on CNY eve (well at least for my family). However, this year is different. We didn't get to go up to Alor Star for our usual reunion dinner with my maternal side of the family. Instead, we spent most of the evening in KLIA holding back tears and trying to put on a brave face. My brother, Daniel was scheduled to leave for New Zealand that night at 9.30.

The scholarship agents and sponsorship couldn't get any other departure dates hence explaining his departure on CNY eve.

KLIA was jam packed with people that day. Even finding a place to sit to have a meal was a hassle. We finally settled for KFC because it was considered less packed compared to the other food outlets around. So yeah, Dan's last meal in Malaysia was KFC =/

That guy in coat with his back towards the camera is Bubin, another TNB scholarship recipient who's leaving to Canterbury with Dan. Only the 2 of them are going so it is kinda scary and lonely for the both of them, till they settled and make new friends of course.

Dan's luggage was more than 5kg overwheight. He had 3 other really heavy hand carries (it'd knock the breath out of me if any of them fell on me) including his HP monitor. Thank goodness the lady at the counter was really helpful and she allowed Dan to check in the monitor along with the luggage without any extra charges. In case you don't know, an extra kg cost RM130.

I was fine holding back tears in front of him, only tearing up now and then when he wasn't looking. But when he bought me that huge lollipop, I just broke down in front of him. I felt so bad letting him see me cry.

He's all smiles and tough in the pictures but he was feeling really heavy to leave Malaysia. He told me when we were having our meal that he wasn't prepared to leave. I know he's just putting on a brave face so that my parents wouldn't feel sad.

After Dan left to board, mum and I cried a bucket. We rushed down to Bukit Tinggi to meet up with a few of my dad's relatives in a restaurant even though we didn't feel like it. Dad says he hasn't met his younger brother for years and in the end we think that it'd be a good distraction to keep our minds off Dan a while.

So I sort of had my reunion dinner in the end, having to smile and be ok in front of them. It wasn't as bad as I had thought it to be. Dan reached NZ safely btw. It broke our hearts the first night he was there because he was extremely lonely and lots of unhappy incidents happened in just that few hours of his arrival. It wasn't a smooth start but yesterday (his 2nd day there), he finally got to call us and he sounded happier. He's made new friends and is trying to adapt to the new environment there. I really miss you Dan.

This is a really long post. Junie, Sarah, are you both happy now? Hehe. I'll try my best to blog more often. Till the next post then.

P/S: Happy Chinese New Year!

Love,

Autumn

Exhausted day

2010-02-05T20:26:00.009+08:00

It was last Tuesday, my Tita, Shaz, her friend, Zatie, and I went to the extreme park kat Putrajaya. We arrived at the Putraclimb pukul 10am mcm tu.

My cousin, Hana Nurbaya Banana, is a climber. She's pretty good at it. Pernah rock climbing kat Batu Caves kut. Dikira terror ah tu kan. She's very skinny so I thought this wall climbing must be really easy since Hana Nurbaya Banana yang ada skinny arms pun boleh, so can I.

I tried the beginners punya wall. The wall has mattress down there so I didn't use any rope to hold me. If anything, I'll just jump. Anyway, when I was up there, then I knew it was really hard to climb. You really need to have strong arms to do this. Unfortunately, my arms are not strong so dapat climbed to the top sekali je. Shaz 2 times.

There was one time I was about 5 inches feet away from the mattress, I couldn't tahan, so I fell. Malu tau. =S

We were there for less than an hour. Then, we went to the extreme park. Gila cun! The place is the biggest extreme park in South East Asia. Dia baru buka in Putrajaya so many people don't know about the place.

My Tita and I went for biking pula. Best tu best but my goodness.

The place berbukit-bukit

and I felt like passing out dah tau. Penat sangat naik bukit. Dah lah panas. I'm a candle princess (puteri lilin) tau. When I was almost pitch black, I remember Julaine said she went for biking juga and she too almost pitam. But I had a lot of fun. We went for less than an hour too.

The staff there were really friendly. I think the place is a good place to have a bbq or something like that. Before the night of bbq, boleh wall climbing or skate or bike or rollerblade or just walk to see the scenery. Best best! =D

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Happy!!

2010-02-04T23:04:00.006+08:00

We had our presentation today. Sarah, Guan Lim and I in a group while Julaine's with Shu Qing and Jia Hui. I only get to watch Julaine present though as I had to leave early. As usual, she's awesome larh:P

As for us, I was pretty surprised the audience and Ms Ann loved our presentation. I was so nervous at the beginning that I missed out some sentences. But anyways, great job, guys :D We had a good laugh throughout de assignment rite? That's mainly because the topic that we presented was on 'FART'. How can we not laugh at every facts we researched on?? ^.^

We still have our sketch filming that we've almost completed but I shall not post the photos and videos yet. Spoiling the surprise :D

I'm a happy woman!!

Love,

Spring

Alamanda

2010-01-24T00:04:00.018+08:00

What a picture to start with kan? Spring gedik! We were suppose to make funny faces tapi dia sorang je yang cute in this pic. =P Autumn's face is the best. Hahaha. Look at the mismatch eyes. Haha.

It was a last minute decision to go to Alamanda. I don't know why but at that time, I just feel like going there. We head to Putrajaya around 5pm and thank goodness it wasn't jam at all. I thought we may get lost going there but there we didn't.

Once we've reached there, we started to walk around. We went into Watson and saw few perfumes there. The smell is quite nice and they said that that place is the only place that sells those perfumes. You can't find it in any other Watson branch. Autumn was tempted to buy but I persuaded her not to. She has too many perfumes already.

We walked outside of the mall because there are many restaurants outside. We were looking through menus and we saw this one restaurant called Chakra something. It's a thai restaurant. They offer you to eat as many plates you want at RM19.90.

To be honest,

it's the same as buffet kan but the

word dishes make us feel like it's so worth of our money. Haha. Ni guna psychology ni.
Anyway, we went in and eat 20 dishes! Haaa...ambil ko! We were full at 18 dishes but Gracie insisted to eat another 2 plates.

Spring on the other hand got chiisin a bit. She can't stop laughing. Autumn and I were like smiling je but she kept on laughing. Apa yang lawak pun tak tau. Dah lah Spring's laugh doesn't make much sound even when she laughs so bad. Sometimes, I can't tell whether she's really laughing or faking it. =S So next time bawa dia keluar makan, make sure she doesn't eat until she's full. Or else she'll goes nut.

I learned a new mandarin word on that day: pangsai. Hahaha. Not going to the details on it but the only person who didn't go to toilet is the person in the picture next here. =P

We went to Nichii and my goodness, the shop is so BIG! Autumn went in and shop macam biasa. Spring and I kind of dah biasa dah. =P

At 930pm, I brought them around to see the houses there. I find the place really pretty and quiet. Place where I can't be because our family is very noisy type of family and if we stay in that kind of environment, definitely kena marah. Teheee. =D

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Journey to Penang

2010-01-12T20:44:00.013+08:00

Hello♥ I kinda forgot that I haven't blog about my trip to Penang.. :P

7.30 am in the morning. *yawns*

On the 25th, 19 crazy fellas decided to gather in temple before starting our journey to Penang... We reached about 5 pm, just few blocks away from our accommodation, when some *%$@&* asshole from the opposite direction had to speed, lost balance and bang straight into one of my fren's car. Few of them got injured, sent to the hospital and two left home the next day. Even worse, the asshole who banged our car sped off in a motorbike. That was the evening we created massive jam in Batu Feringgi and Gracie was one of the victim too:p

We had our dinner at 9plus after all the delay in Gurney Street but I would say the food there was rather disappointing. We had games, booze and jokes that night and the following day, we were all in the mood to have fun! We visited Kek Lok Si temple where I met Gracie and her friends. The temple's really beautiful and fascinating but it was quite disappointing knowing how the temple charges fees unnecessarily. Yes, it may be a tourist attraction but it still ain't proper to charge tourist entrance fees and etc just to earn some profit.

See the ultraman behind? We pratically stopped by the roadside just to snap photos with the ultraman :D Ppl were laughing as they drove pass >.<>

In the pagoda

Gracie dear and I

We were there until 4pm and then headed for 'lunch'. Bf and I splurged on food like pigs. We ate 6 dishes all together I think :p Satisfied, we went back to freshen up and the girls did a little shopping along the streets later on ^^ It was so crowded that we had to squeeze ourselves through the crowd. It was fun though:D After having our dinner nearby, we headed back, played games and called it a night..

The next morning...

Beach time!!

All bullying Wei Wing. Owhh.. :D

THX, Feng! For throwing me into the water.

Tynn, hyper on the beach eh?? :p She really needs to get tanner!

We had a game of captain ball, banana boat, burrying ppl in the sand & etc!! It wasn't any sunny that day but I got really tan after that. Bf had sunburn too!

And finally, group photos before we leave to KL...

The terrorist car, they name.

♥ ♥ ♥

There are many more photos in Facebook. These are just the selected ones, meant for blogging purpose :D

-The End-

Love,
Spring

Sexy Gemuk's 20th!

2010-01-11T21:43:00.011+08:00

I wasn't asked to blog but I figured I will be the one blogging:D Haven't heard from Winter yet eyh? She said she will blog SOON but we'll probably wait for the sky to drop. :P Well anyway, looking at the photos below, you all can tell the surprise was a success :D Sarah was definitely surprised, in fact, she was having her beauty sleep before we came. There were some tiny hiccups here and there but it all turned out pretty awesome! The funniest part of all was how blur her sister was when I called her to inform her about the surprise.

June: Hey Shazreen! June here.. Keep quiet yeahh..

Shaz: JUNE?? Why arhhh?

June: *smacks forehead* Is Sarah there?

Shaz: SARAH? YES YES.. You hold on arhhh!!

In the end, Ju-Laine had to call her mum instead to arrange the surprise party.

The 'Wth are u all doing in my house' look

Her Roti Boy 'bday' cake.

The Monkeys :D Sorry Wei Xian, couldn't snap you in the photo

They didn't have whipped cream, so we used flour and water instead

So pretty!! And yet Gedik :p

Her present from all of us ^^ (Revenge from Guan Lim)

Our princess!

After that, we played some games, ate Dominos & Nasi Dagang.. and well basically, crap!! Sarah, I hope you enjoyed our surprise party for ya:)

I'm supposed to be in the photo k, evil Calvin!

Four Seasons and the monkeys!

See what I mean by monkeys? They have no better poses :p

Sorry for the short post shayang...

Lastly,

HAPPY BIRHTDAY AGAIN SARAH SHOIB!!

Love,

Spring

Embarrassing

2010-01-08T12:35:00.003+08:00

I just heard about the news where 2 churches in Klang Valley were attacked. This is such an EMBARASSMENT!!! Seriously! First, the cow head protest and now this?? I really am ashamed with these malay/muslim people lah. Bodoh bin Bahlul!
This is not what our religion, teachers nor parents have taught us. Tahu tak maksud demokrasi dan toleransi tu apa?
On behalf of these MORONS, I'm truly sorry for their STUPIDITY. Kalau boleh lah kan, potong je tangan diaorang. So they don't dare to these things again.

PS: Pencuri pun sama. Potong tangan so they won't do these things again.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Mess with Malays

2010-01-06T17:44:00.003+08:00

This video is so funny. They are my sister's friends. They have concluded that the moral of this video is that racism is bad, which does not make any sense to me. Haha. I took this video from Nasri Mohd's fb. A lot of their friends commented on this video and all of their chinese friends disagree with Zhi Wei (the main cast) and they said that he brings shame to the chinese people. This is all for laugh. No offense intended. =)

PS: Sorry if anyone takes it personally.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

The Start of Something New

2010-01-01T18:47:00.050+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR, READERS!!!

2009 was fruitful to me... The things I’ve learned throughout the year made me change quite a bit. I’ve learned to view things from different perspective, be more open-minded and approachable, learned to take charge of things, be more independent and manage my time well. It’s quite an achievement, I must say :p Physically, I did not change much except that I tried cutting my hair SHORT and towards the end of the year, I put on braces J

2009 started off quite hectic when I had to rush to settle my uni application and only to find out they have March intake after completing my application. I nearly wanted to defer twice, once because it was all a rush but the procedure to defer was even more troublesome, so forget it. Second was of a silly reason that I thought I may be infected with chicken pox from my brother but my uni asked me to defer only when I’m infected. I didn’t of course J and I’m really glad I stayed on or I won’t be able to meet this bunch of lovely people.

We had so much fun together, despite studying hard and rushing assignments. The surprise birthday that we had for each other, movies, lunch, shopping and helping out for prom.. You guys were awesome!!

Moving on, D2Y provided rooms for me to improve and this year (2009), I've tried to take up higher responsibilities such as heading an event along with Ming-Yi which I've blog-ed about before - the Parent's Appreciation Dinner. Also, I was the F&B manager for 2009 camp. I don't regret joining the D2Y committee in 2006 and I should be thankful that my mum forced me to join this camp in 2004. That time, I had to make a choice to join D2Y camp or novitiate (nun & monk) retreat.. Get what I mean? :)

The bond that we have despite our age gap is somewhat indescribable. They're probably the biggest group of friends I have and we all click well together J Gracie met most of them in Penang but I bet she can't remember all of them.. :p

CNY Carolling

Inter-Buddhist Youth Games

Parent's Appreciation Dinner

D2YC 2009!

The SO-awesome Penang Trip!!

♥ You guys!

Not forgetting, the jobs that I took up this year taught me a lot.. Working in Lobos Event Management was one hell of an experience. I've learnt how to deal with those shitty people and never in my life will I ever work for them again!

Also, I worked for Loreal for a day event (warehouse sale) and it was so much fun!! Although I had to stand whole day, I won't get tired by just looking at all the pretty makeups and perfumes there. The staff there are awesome too. I'm can't wait work for them again:)

This year has been really busy and I feel that I've used up all my time wisely. I'm happy in a way but I think I've not spent enough time with some of my close friends this year, mainly my best friends, Shu Xian &, Zer Yen darling, Lavnya & Michelle, and all my beloved Inti classmates.

Best friends!

Yen and Xian:) My lesbian partners!

Lavnya & Michelle

CBF mates! One of the best year too ;)

Soo, how about you people? How's your 2009??

♥Love,

Spring...

Do you remember 98?

2010-01-01T16:19:00.008+08:00

My maid watched the KLCC countdown from tv yesterday and she asked me about Ella, ratu rock Malaysia. I told her about Ella. I remember the first time I know and like her. It was the time when Malaysia hosted the Commonwealth in 1998. She sang a song called Standing in the Eyes of the World for the Commonwealth. I really love the song and they always turned it on during the Commonwealth 98. When my maid asked about Ella, it reminds me of the song. So I youtubed for the song. Just to share with you, here's the song.

PS: There's english version too.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

New Year Celebration

2010-01-01T15:09:00.016+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I had a good time celebrating new year. Before nak tell about my celebration, nak cakap about this exhibition in Pusat Sains Negara.

It's about Da Vinci's life and work that he had done. Of course, Mona Lisa is included too. I just found out that he did not only do painting, he invented many things; mostly military stuff. The exhibition shows some of his sketches of his inventions. For those people who love arts, engineering and maybe architecture stuff, you may want to go to this exhibition. Besides that, boleh tengok-tengok tempat Pusat Sains. There are few stuff you can play around. Boleh tahan lah the place.

I'm sure most of you celebrate new year on 31st Dec before the clock strikes at 12 kan. My family and I too except for this year. This year we celebrated the morning of 1st Jan. We went to FRIM! Picnic! We brought nasi lemak with us for breakfast. There were not many people as expected.

I was thinking of going for biking and thought that there was a bike rental shop in FRIM tapi tak ada. So pergi jalan-jalan lah kat sana. We climb a big hill. The hill was actually for mountain bike tapi whatever, naik juga (ramai yang jalan juga) =P. Seriously, the hill is quite steep. Not as steep as the one that we had in Sabah but quite lah sampai mengah jalan. Tapi best gila jalan because it has been quite long I have not exercise and I have been putting some weight. So nak kena lose all the fats dah. Takut nanti kena masuk The Biggest Loser pula =S.

Dah turun from the hill, we went for another walk. Then, ternampak kawan sejenis my 3rd Tita, Cik Mon (monkey/ monyet). I think it's a He kut. He was like walking with my 3rd Tita the whole time. He lets my 3rd Tita to come close less than a meter away tau! I think he has a lot love to give. It shows on his butt. Butt dia bentuk LOVE. Hahaha.

I had a peaceful and joyful day to start off new year. May this year be better than previous year =)

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Autumn's territory

2009-12-28T22:31:00.006+08:00

♥♥Helllooooo....!!

I'm back from Penang!!!

Although the accommodations were fairly small, it is the companions that I have that matters most :D I'll blog about Penang more when I get hold of the photos. Gracie, I'm waiting!!! :P Oh yeah, not only did I get to see, hug and kiss Gracie, it was soo surprising that I met Shu Qing at Penang tooo :D Guess what? Her family drove all the way to Penang from Perak just to have their dinner... Lolx!

Alright, time for bed! Stay tune for more! :P

Old Times

2009-12-28T21:17:00.010+08:00

I went out with my friends from high school few days ago. We played bowling in Curve. I was looking through the pictures and they remind me of high school. I miss the old days.

I remember Haris and I were talking and then we realised that if we read the letters from behind of our names, it's almost similar to our names. The only different is one letter. We decided to exchange our name tag and wear it upside down. Our class teacher, Pn Joyce Xavier (I really like the name Xavier), saw our name tag and asked "Is there something going on with both of you?". We said "Nope. Just friends have nothing better things to do". I remember another time Pn Ng (discipline teacher) caught Haris wearing my name tag. I called him Haras and he called Sirah. Haha.

Haris is a friend from primary school. I don't really know him much sampai lah form 4, when we were in the same class. He's the guy who is really gentleman and a good person. Sometimes too good to people, you just want to smack his head and call him stupid. I never see him more than a friend. I rarely see him now. He seems happy. Didn't get much to talk about personal stuff but he looks happy =)

Same goes with Aisyah. She's a friend who I know from high school but never get to know well until we were in form 4 (same class). She's really cute and sometimes can be naive.
I remember one day she asked "Sarah, white hair tu rupa dia macam mana huh?".
I was like "Huh? Awak tak pernah tengok white hair?".
"Tak".
"Laaa. White hair tu macam putih putih kat rambut". And then I pointed out to our classmate that has white hair (not going to mention the name). I don't blame her. Her whole family has great hair and non of them have white hair (as far as I know). It's a good thing that we always contact each other when we're having break or not busy. We try as much as we can to hang out with each other. She's one of my high school friends that still in contact.

I remember my best friend, Atitot, stole my pencil case and hid it and I had to borrow pen from my classmate. I chased after her from her class to the lab to the canteen. I remember Jazzing who always ask for my books to copy the answers. I remember how bad my skin was at that time. A lot of memories but the details of them are fading. I'M GETTING OLD!!! Dah lupa-lupa dah =(

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Sabah Trip

2009-12-25T12:37:00.023+08:00

I just got back from Sabah A WEEK ago. Haha. I know. Late post. Malas and my Dady-O's pc kena virus. All the pics are in his com. Just found out my sis's pc pun ada another copy. Tehee =)

Uncle Headir sent us to the airport. We arrived Sabah dah petang. So there was nothing much we can do. We just walked around the place and by night, we had our dinner. Slept early because the next we were going to Mount Kinabalu park.

The hotel yang kitaorang duduk in is 4 star hotel but my goodness. Gila kambing the place (not mentioning

the name). The lift does not have any sensor (I think) and the plugs and electrik pun teruk. You know when you go in to your room and you have to slid in your card in this small thing to turn on the tv and all. Well, benda tu pun cacat.

We took off early in the morning and

of course me having the nickname Baby Vroom-vroom, slept the whole time in the car. We reached there at noon and we decided to walk around. It was really cold and I didn't bring my jacket with me. So, tahan je lah.There is this waterfall place that we wanted to go. It's 250m away, tak jauh, but sangat steep. We were almost there but my Titas dah tak berani to go any further. Because the last few steps (well, more like another puluh-puluh steps) dah gila-gila steep. They were afraid that they couldn't go down dah. Reminds me old times, reti panjat pokok tapi tak reti turun. Haha.

Seriously, in Sabah, the food are all cheap. Like serious cheap! Fresh pula. We stopped by to buy some food untuk bawa balik rumah. And some fruits to eat in hotel =)

We arrived to our hotel petang macam tu. Had our short nap and went out for dinner. We had our dinner kat Waterfront. Seriously, all the food sangat2 fresh. When I got home from Sabah, makan seafood kat sini, rasa macam tak fresh langsung.

The next day, we met my Mak Long's niece. She said kat sana dah tak ada gula. So we brought 6kg from KL. We rent a boat to go to Mamutik, Manukan and Sapi island. Gila lawa! Gila clean, well, compare to KL lah kan.

I recommend you not to go to Mamutik island.

Banyak batu. Sakit kaki nak pergi swimming. Manukan island is better. Tak banyak batu but be careful because there's a lot of jellyfish. Everyone was tired so we decided not to go to Sapi island.

In Manukan island, we had the chance to go for parasailing. GILA BEST!!! First time tau. We were in pairs. My third tita with me and my second tita with my Mak Long's niece's son. Kelakar gila. My tita said that the guy was like "Woi woi! Tinggi! Woi! Tinggi!" (in a scared tone). They even let us down to deep our feet (well, more like hips below) in the sea. Gila best!!! Seriously...kena try.

We went to 1 Bornea shopping complex. We didn't shop much. Dah penat. We had our dinner near the beach.

The last time I went to Sabah was when I was 2 I think. I remember we were in Sabah airport and I like the lift so much. I decided to go into the lift. The door was closed and I was all alone in the lift. My Dady-O was holding luggages and my Bubu was fixing me susu. They asked me to get off the lift but I was stubborn not to go out. I was screaming and screaming. I remember a lady with a child asked me where were my parents. But I kept on crying. She was speaking in English. I couldn't speak English lah time tu. But I knew she spoke in English because my Bubu spoke in English a lot with her English friends. Duh!!! Takkan cakap dalam bahasa kut with English friends kan. Anyway, the lady was helping me to look for my parents. She pointed to everyone even orang putih. I was like "Muka aku ada ke macam anak orang putih?". Haha. Thank goodness, ada 2 floors je. So senanglah my parents to find me. From that on I was so afraid to use the lift.

Apatah lagi when we were in Europe one time, I saw my Dady-O got stuck in a lift (the lift was see through). I was in primary school. Lagilah takut. I can't remember when but I have overcome my fear. Tehee. Pelikkan. How can a person remembers so much when she was only 2. Well, when you're young and alone in a small space, you tend to remember. =P

The following day, we went to a market in the morning. Shop sana sekejap. We had our lunch at Mak Long's niece's place. In the picture, from left to right; Kamillah, Amber and Dedek. Amber and Dedek are twins.
From the time that I've spent with them, Kamillah is the type who is very outspoken person. She likes to talk a lot. She can easily be comfortable with someone.
Amber pula. She's very cute and adorable. Very girly girl. Tengok in picture, pose maut. I really like the way she talks, she tends to pout when she talks. Geram sangat bila tengok dia. And sangat manja.

This is Muzaffar. He's the cutest thing. Seriously! I remember the first time I see him in Mak Long's house. He likes Mak Long's carpet so much. One of Mak Long's carpets is fur carpet. He will laugh so hard when he steps on it. I think he feels tingle. I don't think I've ever heard him cry before. Hmmm.

After lunch, we went to the zoo. Tak ingat apa nama zoo tu. I enjoyed the show. I really like the show there. And the speaker, Kenneth, (ceh, ingat je nama dia) was hot. So pandang je lah dia. =$

Awww...so sweet!!! Not! Haha. Tak de lah. Kidding ;) My parents were all lovey dovey during the whole trip. Tehee. But dah biasa dah so whatever =P. We had our dinner in Mai Yai Thai Orchid Restaurant. Wah!!! Serious sedap! They just opened their restaurant the day before we had our dinner there. The food were delicious! If you ever come to Sabah, must try their food. It was the best Thai food I've ever eaten in Malaysia. But their tom yam...biasa je lah. But other dishes are really nice. Ask for their recommendation. They're very friendly.

The last day in Sabah, we went to the same place where we had gone to on the first day we were in Sabah. We did our last minute shopping.

I had a lot of fun during our trip to Sabah. We talked a lot about our past, present and future. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait for our next trip =)

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Autumn wonders why some people keep doing things they know they would regret.

How can sorry or regret mean anything anymore when its been said over and over again.

If they can't see someone happy, don't bother finding out about the person.

It's as simple as that.
Isn't it?

AUTUMN has her OWN BLOG

Nope, no worries, I'm not abandoning this blog. Just thought I'd have my own so I could blog about some personal stuff which I can't do it here. It's a shared blog, remember? =) I can't possibly blog everything bout myself here hehe. PM/IM me for the link.

Some updates on ME:

* I went to Malacca with a group of friends for a makan trip

* I went to Genting with * =) * and had lotsa fun camwhoring

* I'm back in Penang!

* I have curls as of an hour ago

* I haven't been able to stop stuffing myself with food eversince the Malacca trip :(

* I am having loads of fun with friends who are back from all over the world

* I am looking forward for Jasmine to be back from the States next week! Christmas Sleepover!

* I.... dunno what else to say

So, I shall just stop here for now. Have a wonderful holiday peeps! Do stuff yourself with more food so I won't feel so guilty myself. Oh oh, before i forget, Have Yourself a Blessed Christmas!!!

Much love,

Autumn

D2YC 2009

2009-12-18T00:27:00.018+08:00

This year's camp was held in a different venue with better facilities and environment. To most of them, the camp is said to be awesome, fun, inspiring and so on... Guan Lim enjoyed himself very much I suppose:) It's my fourth year being part of the organising committee and this year, I took over a much heavier responsibility, heading the F&B department. Well, I've expected from the start that I'll be missing most of the fun in camp and not able to be close with the participants. Nevertheless, it's the experience and skill I've learnt in handling F&B, so, I shall not complain further :) Besides, there's always next year, rite? ^^ (Sarah, we both can be qualified to be a good mum d... >.<)

D2YC begun on the 9th December, two days after my finals.. Opening video was just so-so since we didn't have much time to work on it and we performed the same dance again...

Cleaning up my 'territory' before camp.. It wasn't easy at all as the the temple was just newly built.

The dance..

They're our VIPs for the night.. :)

Prayer Session (Puja)

My territory throughout the camp.. >.<

There were various activities lined for the participants namely workshops, talks, talentime, telematch, hymm singing, sharing session, GAMES, and many more....

Morning jog before breakfast

Station Games

Enthusiastic participants

And then, we had this surprise haunted treasure hunt at 4 a.m on the same day of Razzle Dazzle. We didn't sleep at all and my eyes were half closed the whole day.

The treasure hunt was FREAKY enough that some of the participants injured themselves while running away. I was in-charge of the toilet station, taking care of the hostages (group leaders). Kind of boring, no, very boring indeed cause they only arrived an hour later. LoL.

Talentime's the main highlight of the camp whereby everyone has the opportunity to show off their acting talent, including the committees. Too bad I had to prepare refreshments and clean up the canteen, thus, couldn't watch nor be part of the performances.

P.S: Spot Guan Lim, the signboard holder!! Hahaaa...

Telematch!!

That's my brother, doing commander crawl. :)

Look how tired the committees can be, and yet sleeping SO symmetrically XD

Some weird sleeping posture. That's Guan Lim if you notice :)

Last but not least, group photos.. We have PINK colour for our camp tees this year :)

The Organising Committees 2009

D2YC 2009 ends - 14/12/2009

Off to Penang next Friday :) Can't wait!

Kak Sofia

2009-12-17T02:23:00.006+08:00

This is my maid. She has been with us for almost 6 years now. The longest and most trustworthy maid that we ever had. It was her burpday...12/12. The year tu...tak payah tahu lah ye =P She's as loud as us and can be childish sometimes. Tapi it's all good. Oh2...and then, kadang2, people think that my maid is the owner of our house. Haha. Tak pe...she is a part of our family pun =)

We were busy on that day, so we decided to celebrate the next day. Tapi, we did give her blueberry cheese tart with a slice of cake. Nasib tak beli one whole cake...she can't even finish one slice of cake pun.

We decided to play BOWLING the next day. I haven't played bwoling for quite some time. So, i feel a bit awkward to play. It was Kak Sofia's first time playing bowling. She really enjoys it. So, maybe I can bring her for batting or archery some other time pula =)

Then, we ate some dessert (tak lapar sangat) at soya shop. Sedap. I really like. You should try =)

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Movie

2009-12-17T01:00:00.008+08:00

My family rarely watch movies together but few days ago, my bubu asked all of us to watch a movie called A Road to Mecca. From my point of view, i don't really believe everything that is shown or explained in the movie.When it comes to religions, it can be very sensitive, so i don't want to get deep on that matter.

My 3rd tita is definitely the funniest and somestimes can be annoying in our family.

1 day, my Dady-O asked my 3rd tita to be his coach. Maybe she watches too much of The Biggest Loser show, she's becoming a tough coach on my Dady-O. She asked my Dady-O to walk on the trackmill and shouted "DO YOU WANT THIS? SHOW ME THAT YOU WANT THIS!!!".

And then, my bubu bought a box of ice-cream. She ate the ice-cream and when my Dady-O wants to take a bite, she said "AYAH!!! TAK BOLEH!!!".
I said to her "Ayang kan coach ayah, kena ah jadi role model. Ayang tak boleh lah makan juga". She said "FINE. I QUIT!!!". Hahaha. It was so funny.

And then, the next day, she still trains my Dady-O. She even puts up a timetable for my Dady-O. I find it cute. Shhh. Don't tell her. Nanti dia kembang. =P

And then, there's another time when my 3rd tita asked my Bubu, "Bu, boleh tak perempuan tak pakai tudung?".

"Boleh...untuk budak kecil and orang dah berumur".

"Berumur tu macam mana Bu?".
"Berumur tu macam...bila lelaki dah tak nak dengan perempuan tua dah".

"Habis tu...ada ke orang nak dengan Ibu lagi?"

Hahaha. Ouch. Smack in the face. Kambing punya tita. Hello!! Bubu still muda ok. Banyak orang nak dgn dia.

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Melaka

2009-12-16T22:57:00.018+08:00

Oooo...this is how i will look like if my face shrinks. Macam ALIEN!!! Head is big and then the lower part of my face kecil semacam. It's a good thing i'm chubby ;)

The reason why i didn't go for the razzle dazzle party was because kita pergi MELAKA! Haha. My friends semua cakap, "Melaka is so near. Can't you just go some other time?". I really want to go to Melaka. Why? Sebab, my car ada few 'trademarks', i would like to call, that needs to be fixed. Nak senang kata, kena cat kereta balik.

It has been almost 3 years since i got my license. So, there's a lot of history between my car and i. Let see...my 1st 'trademark' was few months after getting my license. I hit my gate house. Tak sengaja ok. The 2nd pun kena gate juga. Again, didn't do it on purpose. The 3rd 'trademark', someone hit my car. The 4th 'trademark', terlanggar dinding when i was trying to park my car in the parking lot.

Tapi, my car is quite tough juga tau. I once hit a car (autumn, winter and spring were there to witness) and had to pay RM 150 (i think) but there were no scratches at all. Eh, i mean 'trademarks'. ;D

Anyway, i had to go to melaka because we asked my uncle to help us to send my car to the workshop. He knows people who can help us (half price kut compare to kl punya). So, if i'm not there with my family, it seems like you're kind of snobby. Bak kata orang melayu, tak ada adab. Besides, it has been awhile i haven't met my uncle, auntie and cousins.

My 3rd tita just bought her new shoes. She really likes it. Tak habis habis tayang kasut dia. Menyampah =P (more like jealous)

We had our dinner somewhere kat mana entah. I don't even know but we had our dinner on a boat. Well, boat tak bergerak. Tehee. The dinner was like, you choose what type of seafood you want and how to be cooked and then they will serve it to you.

There were 12 of us. =) All together, the food cost RM390. If i'm not mistaken. Or was it RM290. Either one.

I was eating, tetiba, there was a cat sitting on my dress. Amboi...sedapnya duduk atas dress orang. The cat siap sleep lagi on my dress. I let it be until we had to go off dah. Tehee.

PS: How come there are not many pictures from the party? I was hoping more tau.

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Razzle Dazzle ♥♥

2009-12-15T10:51:00.031+08:00

SOoooo, it was the night that most of us were waiting for...

The Four Seasons were in the marketing department, headed by Autumn:) All we had to do, is to go around classes to market this event & take care of the booth for registration and collect payments. Razzle Dazzle was definitely a success!! The dishes were ohh-so delicious and the performances were jaw-dropping. But, it'll definitely be better if Summer was there with us...

Winter and I

Close-up :)

Aren't they gorgeous? ^^

Outing

2009-12-11T00:48:00.020+08:00

FINALLY!!! We have finished our exam. IT'S DONE!!! What happens happens lah result karang. Who cares dah. Now, we celebrate =D

Spring, Winter and I finished our exam last monday but Autumn finished on tues, so we decided to go out together on tues. Kitaorang baik...tunggu Autumn... =P

We went to Time Square together by train. I just found out that Winter tak reti naik train. We were at the KL Central going to Imbi, she put in her ticket in the machine and forgot to take it back. By the time we reached to Imbi, she was like 'ALAMAK!!! Forgot to take the ticket. I didn't know we're suppose to take the ticket'. Kesian dia. She had to pay RM1.50. Haha. I find it funny though. Comel je Winter.

By the time we reached to Time Square, it was 2 something. So, we went to Vivo to eat our lunch. Si Autumn apa lagi, camwhoring leee.

Tengok...ambil gambar lagi when Winter and I were paying the bill.

After our lunch, we were walking and then we saw these cute soft toys. Autumn was like 'So cute!!! Take picture! Take picture!'. This girl kan. Ish ish. =P

After getting tired taking Autumn's pictures and she taking our pictures =P, we walked and shop! Wah2! I was so so tired that day cos I didn't get much sleep the night before. Autumn too, didn't get much sleep but when it comes to shopping, berenergy gila! Seriously... sampai at 1 point Winter said 'Now I know how my father feels like when waiting for me shopping'. Winter, Spring and I sampai terduduk-duduk waiting for her. But it's all good. Bukan selalu we can wait for our Autumn to do her shopping kan ;)

Can you feel it? Christmas is nearing!!! Yeap, they all bought stuff for Chrismas too. And of course, Autumn just must take picture with a christmas tree =P

Ingat Autumn sorang je boleh jadi model? Eh, I can be a model too k. Tengok, I can pose ok =P

Haha...yeah right...

After shopping, we had our dinner. During dinner pun, we took pictures. I think Spring got pretty bored with the all smiled face with muka yang sangat control ayu. So she decided to mess up Autumn's face in the picture.

This is what I called "Autumn trying to look cool" picture. Haha. I really do feel like Autumn feels so cool in that hat and sunglasses. We're in a shopping complex Autumn! There's no sun to wear sunglasses dei!

This one pula, I called it 'Autumn showing her inner child'. That hat is purely childish. Ada ke patut wear that hat. That hat is for 2 year old kid not *tutt tutt* year old woman. Dah lah ada helikopter on that hat. Autumn, you can't fly lah with that hat =P

Autumn was screaming when she saw these pictures. Haha. Dah lah we were in the car when she screamed. High pitch.

I had a lot of fun that day. It has been so long we had not spend time together. So that day was really great. =)

PS: Autumn, jangan marah-marah, nanti cepat tua =P

Summer Love,
Sarah.

BOOM!!!

2009-11-20T13:21:00.006+08:00

GL asked, "How does Summer's butt looks like when she farts?".

PS: Kambing punya GL. Tak nak kawan!!! =P

Summer Love,

Sarah.

I can see the light!

2009-11-13T23:56:00.009+08:00

This is my current phone wallpaper. I really like this picture. I called it 'I can see the light!'. Bukan heaven punya light tau. Mentol punya light. Hahaha. Winter is definitely gonna kill me for this. She doesn't like this picture. But I like. Nampak pretty kan?

I'll definitely gonna get this stare from Winter on Monday karang. =S Teheee.

PS: Spring was the one who took these pictures. The Winter picture tu, Winter was nodding. That's why nampak like she was looking up. My picture pula, she wanted to take GL's picture, but tertaken my picture sekali. Teheee. =D

Summer Love,

Sarah.

Hiatus

2009-11-12T19:27:00.006+08:00

People, I am fasting from facebook! Well, for a minimum of one week. Goal settings need to be practical, remember? =)

So please please please spank me if you guys notice any sign of activity on my facebook account.

Sigh finals are approaching, assignments deadline are nearing, and stress level is increasing.

Oh, and I wont be blogging for a while too... till after finals I guess. Hopefully Summer and Spring would help keep the blog alive if they are able to cope with their studies too. Do keep all of us in prayers.

Goodbye and God bless!

*hugs* :)

Rindu

2009-11-06T01:04:00.005+08:00

I know that it has been awhile we haven't blog. It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we're busy with our uni life and personal life. There are just things that we just like to keep to ourselves. I'm sure you too feel the same way.Today, I just feel like blogging.

It has been quite a long time my family hasn't gather and just share our stories as well as our goofiness. Ish. I'm writing macam nak buat essay je. Ni semua salah assignment lah. Anyway, I was doing group assignment with Shu Qing when I got a call from my Bubu, "Along bila nak balik? Bubu nak makan malam dengan Along lah hari ni". I don't know why, but when she said that, I feel like I want to just leave my work and go back home and eat dinner with her. I just miss the time where all of us make a lot of noise. Bak kata Bubu "Anak Bubu ada 3 tapi riuhnya macam 30".

When I've arrived home, Bubu and Dady-O called me in their room. Dady-O cakap, "Jom makan luar. Kat rumah tak de benda nak makan".

Bubu cakap, "Tahu kenapa Bubu nak makan dengan Along? Tadi waktu Bubu tengah drive, Bubu terfikir Along. And Bubu fikir Bubu ada 5 tahun je lagi nak manja dengan Along before Along maybe akan kahwin and keluar dari rumah. By then, kamu mesti busy dengan husband kamu".

Daddy-O added in, "Tu lah. Kamu lagi 2 tahun dah grad. Lepas tu kerja, mesti ada laki nak dengan kamu".

I was almost teared up when I heard those things they said. Tahu tak when you're going to cry but belum lagi and then you feel like there's a lump in your throat? Haaa...That's how I felt. I just can't imagine myself not being close with them or any of my Titas in fact. To restrain myself from crying, I said, "Alaaa. Sekarang ni pun tak de orang nak dengan Along. Entah-entah nanti bila dah kerja pun tak de orang nak dengan Along".

At the end, semua ikut makan keluar. I think for many people, it may sound remeh-temeh. But the feeling that I felt for tonight was indescribable. Bunyi macam bongok je kan. But you know what they say, a small thing for a person can be a big deal for someone else.

Summer Love,

Sarah.

PS: Like always, main-main with Ayang sampai kena marah. Haha. But I like =D

Raya in Perak

2009-10-12T21:35:00.046+08:00

The second day of raya, we went to Perak pula utk celebrate. As expected, it was really a LOUD and full of LAUGHTER raya in Perak. My Dady-O's siblings decided to make family day on the second raya itself. All of my Dady-O's sibling came except for one, Wan Yong. She was sick so she couldn't attend. Tak pe. She stayed somewhere near to our kampung. 10 minutes drive and there's her house. We decided to visit her the next day.

Let me give you some lessons on my Dady-O's side. His parents passed away few years ago. However, we always come back to kampung to see our relatives especially during raya. The house that my grandparents once lived is now taken care by my uncle, Dady-O's brother. According to my Dady-O's second cousin, their roots come from Arab and Indonesia.

We went out of the house in Subang in the morning. We went and visit my father's auntie. After spending few hours there, off we went to Perak.

Sampai2, haaa! Riuh sungguh kampung. Everyone was everywhere. We had to find peopl to salam. As always, all the mak cik-mak cik and anak2 dara were in the kitchen preparing the food for dinner, including me ok. Eh, kita ni pun anak dara ye. Kita pun tolong ok =P

Tolong potong2, tolong pergi beli barang yang tak cukup kat kedai, etc. My Dady-O pun tolong. Tolong kacau2 lauk.

As expected, many people love my Bubu's butter prawn. My Bubu is the best when it comes to cooking and baking. But she needs to have her mood, then she'll do it good. But really, she's a good cook. That's why my Dady-O gained a lot of weight after he got married =P

There were a lot of food. A lot of seafood because my uncle bought from the fisherman who just came back from fishing in the sea. The seafood were really fresh. Sedap!

As expected, we all ate the food sampai habis. Tehee. =D

Tgk, people were eating everywhere. Riuh gila! Especially my Dady-O's siblings. I think most Perak-ians are like that kut. Cakap banyak kuat! Sedangkan, the person they were talking to, sebelah diaorang je. Tapi, kadang2, I'm like that too. Haha. Ceh. =$

Oh2! My auntie owns a boutique, so she brought her bags, baju kurung and many more utk jual. Her stuff are not bad actually.

Tgk budak2 zaman skarang, lepas makan and main bunga api, main computer game lah, main tv game lah, tgk tv lah! Ish2! Tapi game yang paling best is MEMANJAT TIANG!!! Hahaha! I too when I was young lah, main panjat tiang. Computer-computer tak main lah.

These kids are our future 'Panjat Pokok Kelapa'. Hahaha. Reminds me of Pokok Kelapa song. =P

In the future, we don't need monkeys to pluck the coconuts, we have these kids to help. Haha. Just kidding. Jangan marah2, nanti cepat tua ;)

This kid here, nama dia Balqis. I like to call her Qis- Qis. She's my cousin's daughter. Comel gila! She really reminds me of my Tita, Shaz. I don't know why but whenever I see her with her Tita, Yasmin, they really reminds me of my childhood.

The girl in the pic, her name is Sasha. She's my cousin. She's the only girl in her fam. The youngest pula. She looks very feminine and all but she definitely is NOT! She's naughty just like any other boys.

The boy there, his name is Ayish (His nickname). He's my Dady-O's favourite nephew. He likes to speak his mind out and he's not shy to speak. Nak senang kata, he likes attention. =P

Shaz really likes him. Both of them pernah dance together (Saje2. Not in public k, kat rumah je =P). Ayish is a good dancer, according to Shaz. Dengar cerita, dia boleh menari malay tradititional dance. AAAAA!!! COMELNYA!!!

This is Luqman. He's the HOT BOY that is in right now (For me and Shaz). His eyelashes are to die for. Most of my friends love my eyelashes but wait til you see his. His eyelashes are LONGER than mine! Seriously, tak tipu. His smile will melt your heart. Tapi, he's getting NAUGHTIER!!! But you know what they say, good girls always fall for the naughty boys. Hahaha. =P

People always complain about this person is vain lah, that person is vain lah. EH! BUDAK2 KECIL PUN VAIN LAH!!! These 3 kids were posing to the camera and then nak tgk gbr2 diaorang. Gila vain kan! Especially Luqman. Bila take picture, he'll be all nice to the camera. Bila dah habis take picture, he'll be all wild again.
Oleh sebab, there are too many people in the house, ramai have to queue in line utk mandi. Teheee.

People were sleeping everywhere. Most of the kids were sleeping in the living room. When I looked at them sleeping, I saw someone's feet on someone's head lah, apa lah, ni lah, tu lah. Haha. Comel2. You don't get to see this all the
time.

The next morning, we went to my Dady-O's sister's house. She wasn't feeling well, so we came to visit her. Again, a lot of kids. Tgk baby ni, comelkan. Teheee. I love babies but I don't really like kids. =P

PS: Lately the seasons are very busy with col's work so we won't blog much for now.

Love Summer,
Sarah.

Spring Wonders:

Why do people exaggerate small matters about someone until he/she looks ugly just to gain attention?

I believe they feel insecure or either, they're just jealous.

Back to assignments, baby!!

P.S: I miss Autumn!

Where are you now?

2009-10-07T21:11:00.015+08:00

Some of this hits home. And I'm pretty sure most of us can relate to this.

To my ex-best friends
Don't know how we grew apart
To my favorite band
And sing-alongs in my car
To the face I see
In my memories
Where are you now?

To the ones who cared
And who were there from the start
To the love that left
and took a piece of my heart
To the few who'd swear
I'd never go anywhere
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn't for you
I would never be who I am

If it wasn't for you
I would never be who I am
If it wasn't for you
I'd be nothing
Where are you now?

Raya in N9

2009-10-02T23:39:00.043+08:00

The picture up here is my Bubu's kampung. This picture is taken last year actually. Tapi tak de beza lah dengan this year punya rupa.

Let's give you some lessons about my Bubu's side history. The house is two storey house. Tapi before this, the house is actually one storey house je. I don't know bila buatnya renovation because since I could remember, memang two storey house.

The renovation is the interesting part. Instead nak renovate untuk buat the second floor, the ground floor house was lifted to put on top of the new ground floor. Paham ke? Buat-buat paham lah ye. =P So you can say that the top floor is very kampung-ish and the ground floor is more modernish.

If you want to talk about our family roots. Kitaorang ni datang from Thailand and Indonesia. My Bubu is the third generation of Siamese. Tapi Indon dah lost count dah. Tehee =)

The day before raya, we went to N9 (Negeri Sembilan) to celebrate our first day of raya, which is the next day. At first, kitaorang decided nak pergi Perak dulu but then tak jadi because our uncle is going to his wife's kampung (We always stay at his house when we go back to kampung Perak).

We went out from KL around 5pm and broke our fast in Seremban. We had Nasi Briyani dekat mamak. Sedap gila!!! The place was so damn full. I never thought mamak place would be full. I always thought that restaurants are the ones that are usually full. That was my first time breaking fast in mamak. Agak seronok.

Of course, on our back to kampung, my parents will tell a lot of stories. For example, when I was 3 or 4, I wanted to play bunga api during raya without anyone's guidance, and I was caught on fire. Hahaha. That was pretty hilarious. I was running into the house and shouted 'API API!!!'. All my aunties were panicking (Waktu tu, all my aunties were gathering and I ran towards them je). Some shouted 'PERGI AMBIL AIR!!! CEPAT!!!'. And some asked me to roll myself on the floor. So I did. Luckily, there was no burn on my skin but my new baju kurung hangus. A lot of holes.

By the time we got back to kampung, we saw our young cousins playing bunga api outside. We saw pelita on the sides of the road to our kampung, which is really pretty.

We salam everyone in the house and saw all the mak cik-mak cik and anak-anak dara doing work in the kitchen (As always). They were doing ketupat. They cooked rendang way before we came. They didn't need much of our help because they're almost done.

On raya, the person that I'm most anticipated to see is my cousin Hana. We always spend our night together talking and watching movies. I like to talk about things in my life to
Hana because she doesn't know who I am talking about and vice versa. Haha. That's the best part because we know that we'll never meet (Or very unlikely to meet) the people that we're talking about. (In the pic from L to R: Me, Lil and Hana)

The day before Raya, we talked and watched a movie until 4 am. When Shaz and I went upstairs, there was no where to sleep. Everyone sleeps everywhere. At the end, I had to sleep on a chair in a sitting position. It was late to switch on the lights and find mattress to sleep on. So Shaz and I had to sacrifice and sleep on a chair for a couple of hours.

Early in the morning of Raya, around 6 am, Bubu woke us up, and we straight away went to the bed that my parents slept and had our nice sleep since my parents were wide awake and going for shower.

Few hours later, Hana woke me up, I had my shower and put on my new baju kurung and had our breakfast together. It's always like that. We're inseparable.

We took pictures; family, cousins and whole lot of people, and got some duit raya and of course salam-salam and ask for forgiveness (The usual stuff).

After all that, we went to our relatives' houses. We went to 5 houses on that day itself. One of the houses is my aunt's parents' house. My cousin, Timi (His real name is Hatimi but Timi sounds cute =P), is a great cook. He was cooking when we arrived. So, I was sibuk-sibuk in the kitchen, looking at how he cooked. He told us that he wants to do culinary arts after his SPM. Most of my close friends know that I'm more into baking than cooking. I don't really like cooking. =S

We spent the night in KL because the next day, 2nd day of raya, we had to go to Perak. Ada family day there. Will talk about it in the next post.

PS: Makin tua, makin kureng duit dapat. Haha =P

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Maid no more

2009-09-23T02:30:00.004+08:00

My maid went back to Indonesia for a month. Meaning, she'll be back in the middle of next month. She'll be spending time with her family and friends there.

So who's doing the house chores? Of course mostly will be my Bubu. But among the 3 of us (Adik-beradik), Ayang (youngest sister) is the one who helps my Bubu a lot. I'm the second person and Shaz the least.

Ayang, mostly do the laundries (Gosok baju, lipat baju, etc.), I always do things in the kitchen (Kopek bawang, basuh pinggan, etc.) and Shaz helps here and there.

I can understand why Shaz helps the least. She studies a lot lately since SPM is around the corner. Ayang just finished her UPSR. She has the time to do anything since she rarely goes to school now. I on the other hand, hummm, helps when I feel like doing. Hahaha.

I think this is the time where I can learn how to cook. Most of my friends know that I prefer baking than cooking. So, we'll see how it goes.

PS: Sejuk hati Bubu and Dady-O karang bila dapat tahu anak dara dia dah boleh masak nanti =P

Summer Love,
Sarah.

5 minus 2

I really love my secondary school life. Many people said that secondary school sucks. No life, no freedom and the list goes on. Tapi I've learned a lot; from love relationship, friendship, relationship with parents and most definitely my relationship with my own self.

These four people are my closest friends when I was in secondary school. We didn't really had a good start at first but we grew to like each other after awhile.

In this post, I mainly want to write about my dear friend, Mas. She's a crazy person. Seriously!!! Badan je kecil tapi gelaknya besar macam gajah. No offense ye Mas =D. All of us were in the same class when we were form 1 sampai form 3. Tapi Mas had to leave in the middle of the year form 1. Her dad had to go to Bangladesh to do some work.

When we were in form 1, we had our own group. In my group has Athirah (The girl in the pic on the left doing the finger eye thingy) and Ad (The only girl who does not wear tudung). Mas (Besides Athirah) and Fatin (The girl who closes her eyes and do the peace sign) were in another group. We used to hate each other a lot. Since Ad was a prefect, we always used that advantage to get them.

Like there was one time where the gang brought a magazine to school (Ingat tak? Dulu kat sekolah tak boleh bawa magazine. Bodoh kan?) and we told the discipline teacher about it. At the end, diaorang tak kena apa-apa pun. Kena warning je. Ceh!

Anyway, Mas came back to our school again when we were in Form 4. I used to hate her at that time too. Why? Because she was in the same class with Athirah and Athirah is my best friend. I get jealous pretty easy. So she was pretty close with Athirah. So I got to be close with my one of my classmates to make her jealous as well. And it seems working. Hahaha. At the end, we were fighting about it. Saying that the classmate that I'm closed with tu was trying to take me away from Athirah and she hated her for doing so. Dadadada didididi, at the end, we were close again.

So, after Athirah and I were close again, I didn't hate Mas anymore. I told her about this. About the fact that I used to hate her. She was pretty shocked. Hahaha. Jahat kan? Anyway, we're now in good terms though we did fight few times after that incident. But we're ok. I don't hate her and she doesn't hate me. So, we're good.

We had dinner few nights ago and it was pretty fun. Ad and Athirah were not there. Ad because we couldn't reach her and Athirah because she was sleeping. Mentang-mentang dia nak pergi Egypt dah, dia tengok semua video korea yang mak cik dia ada.

We ate in Strawberry Farm kat Taipan tu and then went to this one shop called *something* France for ice-cream. After eating ice-cream, we went out and there was this one kitten under a car. Fatin was trying to get the kitten. Mas on the other hand, was trying to persuade Fatin to bring the kitten to Fatin's home because the kitten was so cute. But at the end, we let it be. The kitten was afraid of us. As always, Fatin was cracking some jokes.

Seriously, for those people who think that I'm funny, you should hang out with Fatin. She's really a funny person. Anyway, we went to Fatin's house. I was trying few of her clothes on and I really like few of her clothes. I was looking through her stuff that she has packed. I was pretty sad to see that she seems ready to go.

When we went out to send Mas back home, I accidentally stepped on cat's poop. Habis busuk satu kereta. Kena buka tingkap sebab busuk sangat. Sigh. Kucing kucing. Beraklah kat tempat orang tak jalan. Tak pun, korek lah tanah dalam sikit before berak kan. Ish!

I had a lot of fun. Reminds me a lot about the times we spent together when we were in secondary school.

PS: I really wish that the 5 of us can spend time again before Athirah and Fatin are going to fly off to Egypt.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Five Pence Rambling

2009-09-22T11:07:00.015+08:00

I'm sure we've all gone through a phase of life where we feel so lost, thinking about the decisions we've made and the consequences that come with it.

It took me a while to realise that all our actions, decisions and the choices we make doesn't just affect us but the people around us too.

We can never please everyone or avoid hurting every single person we care for. But we could be a lil more considerate, more thoughtful and sensitive towards others too. Sometimes, it feels like thinking bout others' sake can be too heavy for just one person to carry. Then I realised its cos I'm pushing it to work and treating it more as a burden instead of something that I would allow it to come naturally.

It's so hard making the right decision, especially since what's right in our own eyes may not be so in another's. I've learnt that we've to be true to ourselves before taking any next step. That way, I would never regret making that choice even when things don't turn out the way I hoped for. The end result doesn't matter as much anymore.

Though I do wish I could've realised this earlier. That way so much hurt could be less inflicted on others.

Just a random post on what tis tiny mind of mine have been repeatedly playing on the past few days.

Autumn.

Jumbled up :)

2009-09-21T11:38:00.041+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life lately has been filled with events tat 24 hours a day seem barely enough for me. I'm not complaining because I am thankful for everything that has happened. I am currently back in Penang again due to the Raya break. Stealing some time off for myself, catching up on much needed sleep, stuffing myself with Penang food and just doing things I enjoy doing. I'll be going back to Sunway tomorrow :) I can't sum up everything in one post like Junie has done. But here are some photos to (hopefuly) fill you in a lil bit on what I've been up to lately.

2nd week of the new sem and we were all filled up with work. Mostly thanks to Mr Derek, our Biz Stats lecturer.

And look at what Sarah was doing when we were all working our arse off.

I know tat Sarah :P

The weekend during the Merdeka break, I went back to Penang to celebrate mine & my bro, Daniel's birthday with our family. He's a year younger than me and Our birthdays are only 9 days apart. Here's a lil something bout my family :)

The Family

My Dad-Someone whom I really look up too. We share a lot of similarities and most times we understand each other even on unsaid things. Lately I'm finding it harder to communicate with him. Probably he's finding ways to let me go seeing that I'm growing up and I have to live my own life now. Another change that we both have to deal with.

My mum- Overprotective and paranoid at most times but ALWAYS there for me. The only one who could annoy, make me go mad, feel so much love & be grateful for her all at once.

Finally, introducing my handsome bro, Daniel :) When we were lil, we used to quarrel so so much. Mind you, we even had fights. Bet those who know me now could never imagine lil gracie being so ganas lol

Now that we're both grown up (sort of), we're inseparable. We share almost everything with each other. I could always trust him for honest opinion as he always has my best interest in mind. He's always there for me and we often forget who's da older sibling.

Oh, and that weekend itself I went for a photoshoot with Nicky Ooi from SensePhotography. He specializes in Wedding Photography. He got to know bout me through a few friends from Multiply and photography forums. He does portraitures during his free time as a leisure thing and we've been planning for one since last year. Somehow, it always got delayed and finally it worked out that weekend. Here's a few shots for preview. Most of them are already uploaded on my facebook.

Witness my first time touching a cat =) I got really freaked out tho when the cat suddenly pounced off on a fishing net beside us.

Oh, isn't this the cutest lil pup u've ever seen?? Jack said its a Corgi. It's a known fact that I'm absolutely terrified of dogs but in da future if I ever have to own a dog *hmmm...* it will have to be one like tis! Cal & I went into a pet shop while waiting for our hot yoga lessons and we saw tis tiny cutie. It was lying so closely to the glass wall and when I tapped on it slightly, it came closer as if snuggling up to my fingers. So so adorable!

Tis is all I have for now. I actually wanted to post da pic of Autumn Jr. and her friends. Yep she has a group of new friends now =) Oh well, probably the next post.

P/S: It feels like ages since I've hung out with the 3 of you. You all have been understanding tho I know it might not be easy to accept it. I miss you all dearly, I really do! Promise we'll hang out soon :)

Much Love,
Autumn

Nadiah's Farewell

2009-09-21T09:53:00.004+08:00

This is Nadiah. We used to study in the same school. She's really a smart person. She had all A's for her SPM. I'm not really close to her but we used to go to tuition together and go back home together too. In the car, we usually talk about things, things that we wanted to share. She's the person who started the colour contact lense in our school. If you meet her face to face, she really has fair skin. So any colour contact lense suits her. She received a scholarship from JPA. I think by now, she's in Czech Republic. Dia buat kedoktoran. It's been a year or 2 I haven't met her.

So, we all went to Pizza Hut yang baru buka kat Taipan tu. We didn't break our fast there but we came there to just meet up and talk (Ok. Some of them makan juga sebab tak makan banyak waktu buka =P). There were 5 of us who; Nadia, Athirah, Fatin, Huda and myself. 3 out of 5 are going to fly (Athirah and Fatin are going to Egypt) and the other 2 are staying here.

Huda is studying Accounting in UIA. She's one of the best students in my secondary school. If I'm not mistaken, she had all A's as well for her SPM. She applied for JPA to do accounting but she didn't get the scholarship. What's the reason? It's because she didn't take accounting subject in SPM.

To me it's such a lame excuse from the JPA. I mean, this is what I think. If a pure student can manage to do well in his/her science subject, it means that that student can also score in accounting subject. It is just a matter of interest. Whether the person is interested in doing accounting or not.

Anyway, I'm not really close to her but our parents know each other. During our dinner that night, Huda was telling a story, 'Mak kita punya kawan punya anak cerita pasal adik kita yang nak ambil SPM this year tu tau. Kelakar gila'. Immediately I know what was the story she wanted to tell. 'Mak awak punya kawan tu mak kita lah and mak awak punya kawan punya anak tu adik kita' I said.

The story goes like this; Huda's brother, Muaz, went to the bilik guru 1 day. Suddenly, a teacher stopped him 'Muaz, kamu ni adik (can't remember his older brother who finished his SPM last year) kan?'. Muaz nodded. The teacher said 'Abang kamu tu good in everything he does. He is good in academic, good in curriculum, has good manners, etc'. Muaz said 'I'm good also what'. He paused. 'Good looking' He continued. The whole room was full with laughter. The teachers were all laughing. You could say that the whole Form 5 knows about it because there is this one teacher mentioned about this in her classes. But I have to agree with Muaz. He is good looking. Hahaha.

We then later went to McDonald for ice-cream. Oh, we stopped by to Watson for a while too afterwards. We later went back home and that was pretty much it. It wasn't an amazing night. It was just nice. I miss my secondary school where you see all the familiar faces. Smile and say hi t0 each other who we know but not so well. I just want to relive that time again and take a deep breath, hold my breath, and then finally exhale it. But at the same time, I'm glad that we can't go back in time. Because I won't be myself now who looks and thinks forward. If there is such thing as time machine, I'm sure I'll be one of those people who are obsessed with the past and will keep on using the time machine to change my past until I'm fully satisfied.

PS: I'll talk about Fatin and Athirah on some other day. Maybe after they left for Egypt.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

The super long post

2009-09-20T19:23:00.038+08:00

Hello world..

Sorry for not updating our blog for the whole week as we've been 'quite' busy with test and all. Anyway, before I start my post, Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslims friends, especially Summer:) She must be feeding herself and gaining weight in her kampung!

The Sleepover

So, just two weeks ago, Vivian and I were talking about alcohol and how our friends got drunk. Impromptu, we planned to sleepover with booze, danced together and movie. Just my best friend and I. It was definitely memorable and hilarious. Those embarassing moments shall be kept secret:) But, I can assure you I did not get drunk!!

Sorry for the blur photos:) Taken with my my laptop's lousy camera. We weren't drunk in the photos, just hyper k!

The Inter-Buddhist Society Youth Games

That very Sunday, D2Y (Dhammaduta Youth) participated in the Inter-Buddhist Society Youth Games, organised by the BISDS. There were 8 youth groups in total, from various society and the games arranged for us were basketball, captainball, volleyball, tug of war and running. I used to play basketball but too bad the basketball game is only opened for Aguys. Sexist huh! I joined captainball instead, smth like netball. And it was really awesome! I had so much fun, despite some rough actions. Girls can be super ganas I tell you!! Don't play play:)

Tuan Tynn: We keep saying the girls from other groups are ganas, but I really wonder if they think the same way about us. It would be interesting to know what they think of us.

Me: Hahahahaha!! Very true! They may probably be complaining about you when you accidentally bumped into them.

Here are some photos I picked frm the whole album:

Our SEXY cheerleader. HAHAHA:)

Girls in action!

Only 3 girls fighting for the ball?

Then, four.

Later, more and more people dived in. Ganas right?

That's me XD

Pricelss expression. Semangat yes?

Tug of War!! Third placing, baby.

The 800m relay. The girls team won 2nd place while the guys won 3rd!!

Fuh Lin, getting ready for his 100m sprint.

Volleyball!

D2Y-ians~!

The Farewell

The following Friday, a day before Parents Appreciation Dinner, Michelle, Lavnya and I went to One Utama as Lavnya will be flying off to UK to pursue her studies in medicine. 5 years!! Respect her:)

The future doctor

Michelle, she attracts guys everywhere she goes!

We will miss you, Lavnya!

Free medical checkups for us next time k?

Parent's Appreciation Dinner

Then, it was Parent's Appreciation Day on Saturday. The night I was hoping for it to come sooner, but a part of me wish it would be later. I was so nervous if anything screwed up during the night like what happened last year, but it was AMAZING. The performanced pulled off well and I believe most of the parents were impressed. I don't know about others, but my parents were proud of me being in the group and they encouraged me to contribute more to the society. I was the Vice-chairman for the event and also part of the dancing team. You may think Chairman and Vice-chairman play the most important and heaviest role, but no. All credits should be given to the whole team - the performance team, F&B team including our kind-hearted caterer, AV team, programme team and not forgetting the emcees. Without all of them, the dinner wouldn't be a success. Thank you again guys:)

Here are the many photos taken on that night that I randomly picked. If I were to post up the whole album, it will total up to 400+ photos. Haha:)

We were all there since morning for set-up and rehearsals

Su Jin and Wan Zhen looking amused

Then, we had our rehearsal

The final set-up. Notice the little door gifts on the table?

The arrival of our parents

Message in the bottle that we purchased specially for our parents as gratitude.

Our emcees, Valerie and Jason

The night started off with Reverand's speech and blessing

Then, speech by Chung Kai, D2Y president

Followed by our very own lion dance. Not rented k!

Adorable?? :)

After that, it was dinner, then Fashion Show!

Hippie!!

The 70's couple, super cute!

I really like her dress! Her mum kept the dress up until now!

Then, it was the modern era. The EMO rappers!

The 'Lala' fashion, seen in Sg Wang! Origin from Japan known as Harujuku

After Fashion Show, it was Dance Revolution.

Five of them, dancing to Bye Bye Bye (Bsb)

Su Jin and I joined in after that.

Michael Jackson's Beat It

I like this photo. We look so synchronised. Lol

Oh Yeah, MJ style!

Night fever by Bee Gees was next!

The crowd totally got obssessed with his butt-shaking. No joke! haha:)

And the last dance was 70's like.

Check out our dance here, if you want:)

Backstage. It was taken before our dance.

With Wan Yian aka Siti Nurhaliza. *Inside joke*

Romance sketch was next, to show our parents the difference in relationship between their era and our era.

The 70's settings whereby the guy uses poems and flowers to court her and they broke up when he had to study abroad.

While in our generation, the girl made the first move by flirting and they broke up when she found a better looking guy. XD

The dinner ended with the choir performance.

Singing to Grease. Jaw-dropped performance. Too bad they didn't record their performance.

Phew! I think that's all. Long long post, I know. I took nearly 2 hrs to blog this k:) Don't say I didn't warn you! I attended a wedding yesterday but didn't take any photos though. AND, I have three more weddings to attend to. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday (my cousin's). The month of romance. LoL.

Tomorrow I'll be going Pyramid with my two best friends, then sleepover together!! Carrie's back from Melbourne and we missed you so so much!

The last time we hanged out before Carrie took off to Melbourne for a holiday

Toodles!

Love,
Spring.

More to Come

2009-09-13T00:12:00.008+08:00

Hello readers:)

I just got back from an event organized by my youth group, specially dedicated to our parents (as I mentioned earlier in the previous post). I was the co-organiser and despite some hiccups, I think we blew our parents away. Thank you everyone, for making this dinner a success!

There are more to update on, starting from my first time drinking session with my best friend, inter-buddhist society youth games, badminton session, farewell outing to One Utama and also Parents Appreciation Dinner .

I'm dread tired right now, so I'll probably update next week. Don't give up on me yet:)

Goodnight!!

Love,
Spring

Wani's Farewell

2009-09-11T23:45:00.012+08:00

Wahaaa! Buruknya gambar ni! I really need to stop making faces lah.

Anyway, this is Wani. We were in the same secondary school dulu. We were close sampai lah form 5 I think (Or was it form 4). We had some problems and we kind of didn't talk and see each other for 2 years.

It was last year when we contacted each other. I texted her. At that time, tak berani ah nak call dia. Sebab boleh katakan almost the whole year of form 5, we didn't talk.

I can't remember what I wrote in the sms. But I saved the sms that she gave me. She texted me on 21st July 2008 at 11.02pm. This is what she wrote 'Hey sare.Im sorry too. Guess it ws my fault too fr nt tryng to make thngs better btween us.And the fact tht we've once been close to one mment makes me sad tht we dnt talk anymre.I've been wantng to apologize bt maybe dnt have the guts.Really hope we could maybe meet up and talk thngs through so tht we're still friends again :-) im sorry if i did hurt ur feelings too'.

I really don't remember why we stopped talking to each other. That's the reason why I contacted her and want us to at least know what's going on to our lives. Maybe not the details of our lives but things that are important in our lives that we can share and be happy or sad for each other.

We didn't meet up after that day. I was hoping she would come for our class reunion (2 weeks ago) but she had some other plans. I gave her a card and wrote how I really want to meet her but didn't get the chance. She's going to UK to do her Law in Nottingham. That's why I really want to see her. She said she may coming back to Malaysia next year but God knows whether we'll see each other again.

We went to Tony Roma's to break our fast; Fizuan, Ajwad, Haikal, Wani and myself. It was pretty awkward for a while but it gets better after 15 minutes or so (The 5 of us in Tony Roma's). Wani fetched me from my house and sent me home. So, it was just the two of us in the car. It wasn't awkward as I thought it would be. We were talking and talking as if we've never had any fights before. I really like it. =)

I forgot that I used to go to BM tuition with Haikal. He reminded me about it and said that our BM teacher is sick. I think I should pay for a visit. I haven't seen him for 2 years (I think). Wani brought her DSLR (Not exactly hers. She exchanged her DSLR with her friend for a while). I just found out that Haikal is really good with this camera thingy. Wani told me, his blog is all about DSLR. Really interesting to know that he's interested in these things.

I somehow feel sad that I don't really know what's going on with my friends' life and I don't really contact with them. I want to but it seems that people are just busy with their own things (Including myself). Busy with what? I don't know too. Maybe we're just too caught up with things in uni and friends in uni, we tend to make less contact with our old friends. Sigh.

Fizuan is my ex-classmate. We do go out together with our ex-classmates as well. But it's been few months we haven't meet up. We didn't really talk much that night. I hope maybe we will go out again with our other ex-classmates. Maybe then I'll ask what's going on with his life. I felt awkward with him and his friends that night. I feel more comfortable talking to him with our ex-classmates.

Ajwad on the other hand, is very secretive. He doesn't really like to talk about his life to people. He's studying in Sunway and we do contact sometimes. Besides, he lives really near to my house. I used to think that he's one of the bad boys in our school last time. So, I used to dislike him. But once I get to know him, he's not bad at all. He makes a lot of stupid jokes. Only one thing I can say about this guy. Dia ni tak boleh bawa MAKAN kat HOTEL! Hahaha. Why? Tak nak lah bagitahu. Memalukan dia je ;)

My Tita, Shaz, and Wani's sister, Syumi, are in the same school. Both of them are in form 5. They met up and asked each other what did their sisters have to say about the dinner. They were the ones who got excited. Because they were the people who told to their sisters, what was happening to our lives when we were fighting. They were the middle people. So they got really excited that we finally go out and meet after more than 2 years since we've talked.

I really am happy that we can now say hai to each other and talk if we bump into each other rather than avoiding to meet eyes like when we were in school.

PS: Take care and have fun studying there =)

Summer Love,
Sarah

Buried in Heart

2009-09-02T22:37:00.011+08:00

It's been quite some time since we've met. Everyone's drowned in their own world, ever since we've graduated. I miss you guys so much. I miss the long conversations we had in the library during our long breaks and then, getting scolded by the staff. I miss the badminton sessions we had together nearly every week. I miss our food adventure, to the point that we requested from the admin to establish a 'makan club' of our own. Haha:) And, we even designed our own class T-shirt with all our names printed on it!

BBQ plaza. It was our favourite hangout spot last yr.

Face to Face

Peppercorn - I miss!. Notice that we're always eating? Haha:)

An unforgettable night spent together in Pyramid, then Summit Hotel.
Yeah, we overnight there when we could have gone back home to sleep:)

-Michelle whom is also my high school mate & Thatcher, the outspoken one-

Waiyi, the gorgeous one whom taught me online shopping:)

She's my first friend in Inti and also one of my closest friend there!

I miss having you sleeping over at my house, Geok Hong!

Sue Gwen, my gossip girl. She never fail to make me laugh.
At least, I still see you sometimes. Good luck in Monash dear:)

Not forgetting Wai Hoong and Barry (the joker).

Samirah & Kaaminiy don't usually hangout with the gang but we were really close in college. Miss u both!

I remember this was the day we stole plates of sandwiches and curry puff from our award ceremony for our other classmates;) Memories!!

I will never forget you guys and the memories we had together.
Next reunion coming up?? ^.^

Love,
Spring

Raya Shopping & Reunion

2009-09-01T16:45:00.028+08:00

Raya is in 2 weeks or so. We've already sent our kain untuk ditempah. So, the only left for me to buy is kasut and beg. My Tita, Shaz, and I decided to go to Subang Parade since yesterday was 31st August, banyak sale lah kat sana. We don't feel like going somewhere that is far and Pyramid dah bosan ah. I already know what I wanted to buy; skintone colour shoes and bag. Mesti match. I don't like things that do not match.

We went to this one shop called elo, and there is this wedges that I like but it's quite short for me. Besides, it was orange. I wanted to buy skintone colour. So, we walked around and my Tita and I went into another shop. She likes this one pair of shoes but at the same time, she felt skeptical to buy it. So, we decided to walk around. Walk punya walk, I saw one orange bag that matches with the orange wedges that I saw earlier (Like always, I bought something that I didn't plan to buy). I decided to buy the bag. 20% off tu! I brought around RM100 and my Tita brought around RM150. I didn't have enough money to buy the wedges, so I borrowed money from my Tita.

We went to MPH. I needed to buy congratulation cards for Wani, Fatin and Athirah. They all are going overseas to pursue their studies, this month. Wani is going to UK to do her law, Athirah and Fatin are going to Egypt nak buat kedoktoran diaorang. We picked out cards that I think shows their personality best. I went down for awhile before buying the cards to withdraw my money, but when I looked through my wallet, I realised that I've left my ATM card at home.

My Tita left with few money (After lending money to me) and decided to buy her high heels, and if she's left with some money, she said she will borrow some money for me to buy the cards. She was left with RM16 after buying her high heels. I, on the other hand, left with RM3. The cards cost RM18.10. My Tita said 'Cukup-cukup nak bayar' when I was paying the cards at the cashier. When she said that, I then realised something.

After paying, I took the cards and said to my Tita 'Along baru teringat. Duit PARKING macam mana?!!?'. We were laughing like crazy. I knew that the parking will cost almost RM5. We were making jokes saying that we need to use the bus lah, apa lah. Tapi duit nak naik bas macam mana? Hahaha. Such clowns lah kitaorang ni! At the end, I had no choice but to withdraw my money from my emergency card (Ar Rajhi bank card).

My Bubu gave me the card for emergency only. I did misuse the money once because I used all of my allowance on some stuff. So I had no money for my petrol and food. So I used the card without my parents permission. I wanted to pay back using my next month allowance and I thought they will never know. But my Dady-O found out. I told him everything and he said 'Lain kali, minta duit kat Ayah. Card tu untuk emergency je'. From that day onwards, I don't dare to use the card anymore. But this time was really an emergency. I went back home and told my Bubu all about it and paid the money that I withdrew(After I went back home and took my ATM card and withdrew my money).

When I reached home, I was left with 30 minutes to get ready for my highschool reunion. I was in Hormat class from Form 1 to Form 5. Yeap. Tak ke bosan. Sigh. The reunion was for Form 1 to Form 3. The main reason why the reunion was held is because there are 5 of our ex-classmates are going to study overseas including Fatin (In the pic: 3rd from the right), Athirah (In the pic: 1st on the left) and Wani. The other 2 are Cheok Li Ching and Kelly Chung (In the pic: 3rd from the left). Both of them are going to UK. Cheok is going to do Business and Kelly, Law. This was not our first time reunion. They invited us a lot of times before but I didn't come for any of it. So, this was like the first time in 2 years (maybe), we've all met. The reunion was held in Ole-Ole Bali. The main organiser, Su Yi (In the pic: 2nd from the right).

Not all of our ex-classmates came. Even Wani, who is going to fly this month, didn't come. Sigh. =S Oh well. Oh2, there are a lot of outsiders as well. Exhibit 1: My ex-classmate Form 4 and Form 5, Li Huey (In the pic with me). She's one of Su Yi's good friend. Saje nak sibuk. =P But it's nice to see her. I haven't seen her or talk to her for quite some time.

See the guy in the white shirt. He's our ex-monitor for Form 2 and Form 3. People seem to like him a lot. That's why we elected him to be our monitor for 2 years in a row. And if I'm not mistaken, he was a monitor as well for Form 4 and 5 (He wasn't in my class for Form 4 and Form 5). People must REALLY like him. =P

Group photo! Ikram is the only person who is not in the picture. He was busy taking photo ;). Anyway, the reunion really hit me. I feel like I don't really mingle with my ex-classmates so much back then. I was quite wild when I was in Form 1 until Form 3. Imagine that! Summer! Wild! Hahaha! But seriously, I was. I was so busy with my social life with my seniors, I don't really give a damn with my ex-classmates. But I do mingle with my ex-classmates Form 4 and Form 5 (PMR result, ex-boyfriends and my mum's retirement changed me A LOT).

PS: My wedges is ketupat style. Semangat Raya =P

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Hello again! ♥♥

The first thing we had in mind to buy for Gracie is a teddy bear. If you remembered reading Autumn's first post, she loves cute stuffs. I remembered reading someone's blog whereby there's a shop that sell custom-made teddy bears. I find it meaningful and therefore, we decided to get it for the b'day girl.

First step, we had to choose the bear's skin ranging from white to dark brown. We chose white at first but it looked kinda ugly to us later on.

Thus, we chose brown
Ju-Laine, being camera shy.

Next, it's time to fill the poor bear with cotton or is it wool?

It was a little too fat after that. So, we had to take out some wool. Hehe:)

Autumn Jr. weighs 23.2 g. Not too fat k!

After that, we were given a list of music to choose from. Summer and Winter got super excited when they hear 'It's a small world'. Reminiscing their childhood, it seems. Lol. Need not say much, that was their choice^^

The best part of the process is to dress the teddy bear. We grabbed the nice ones from the rack and dress Autumn Jr. one by one. It was easy as only one of them looked good on her.

And, there, our baby Autumn Jr.

17th August 2009, she was born.

Oh yeah, they even had a small little heart to be kept in the bear
after making a wish. A bit curious of Gracie's wish:)

Alright, that's it:)

P.S: We love you Gracie!

Love,
Spring

Grace & Jia Hui's 20th B'day

2009-08-28T21:08:00.025+08:00

Hello peeps! ♥♥

Fortunately, our Gracie's born a year earlier than us.:) 27th August 1989, in precise. Since Ju-Laine's b'day, we had this tradition to organise a surprise party for each of us. After Ju-Laine's, it was my b'day of course. Too bad we haven't created our blog, thus, no pretty photos of me lah:) Alright, alright. I shall control myself. This post's suppose to be dedicated to Grace Tay (Autumn) and Chue Jia Hui - the other birthday boy (24th August). Their birthday's only three days apart, so we've decided to celebrate their b'day together.

Our initial plan was to create a huge argument between Gracie and us. But, we're afraid it will turn ugly. Therefore, change of plan- which is to tell Grace and Jia Hui that Guan Lim's admitted to the hospital last night and we're to visit him after class today. Then, we'll surprise them at SJMC. However, our smart lil Summer panic & she blurt out that Guan Lim's in the ICU. Hahaha!! Imagine how Grace felt?? The plan turned out ugly that we didn't want to drag the plan until SJMC. So, we celebrated in college parking lot instead (simply because we're sure Autumn will cry and we don't want her to cry in public). As we're approaching the parking lot, my heart was racing, I swear. Ju-Laine and I keep exchanging glances, keeping our fingers crossed that Gracie will not get mad and turn her back against us.

As we walked to Sarah's car, Guan Lim and Esther popped out with their presents and Sarah immediately hugged Gracie, to calm her down. LOL. The surprise turned out well, and I'm pretty sure Gracie love the custom-made teddy bear we got for her. We named the teddy bear Autumn, btw. We're so glad the bear cheered her up, if not, probably she won't even talk to us. Gracie, we're sorry again yeah.

On the other hand, Jia Hui was calm and steady throughout the whole plan. LOL. When Bryan informed him about Guan Lim's accident, he was a little shocked but he said he can only visit him after 2pm. We panic of course!!! So, we had to take advantage of his generosity, simply because we knew he will never say 'No' when someone ask him for help. Sry Jia Hui:) Anyway, we asked him if he could help us carry text books from Sarah's car to the library, and there, our plan succeeded:) Hehe! We got him a really cool T-shirt, credits to Guan Lim.

The shy boy refuses to take photo

After much harassment from Guan Lim. Haha:) Just Jk
Ju-Laine in the background, looking excited.^^

After the big plan, we went to Bubba Gump in Pyramid (b'day girl's wish). We had the usual bday ceremony and then, an awesome lunch together.

Happy B'day to Gracie and Jia Hui!!

Feeling guilty, we've decided not to smash her face into the cake:)

Jia Hui's turn.

August babies!

To Gracie & Jia Hui: We hope you like our gifts and Happy Birthday once again!!

The rest are the photos we've taken in Bubba Gump. Enjoy ^.^

Adorable much?

Our princess

Stay tune ♥♥

20sen Fall

2009-08-27T20:45:00.005+08:00

This is Lovelin (Not too sure how to spell her name). She's my cousin's daughter. She's my grandfather's only great grandchild. She's not a friendly person. She always show that kind of face to people and she rarely smiles. I don't mind actually. I prefer her grumpy face. I don't really like her smile. Hahaha. I'm so bad.

My family and I went to my uncle's shop. We were breaking our fast there. Lovelin's mother was eating, so I was playing with her the whole night. She was alright and was having fun with me. She ate the fruit that I gave her, she looked into my phone (She likes to see the photos), she played with my wallet, etc.

I decided to bring her out of the shop since it's hot inside and quite cold outside. So we were sitting outside and Lovelin was playing with my wallet while sitting on my lap. She was putting my coins inside my wallet. Some of the coins fell to the ground and a 20 cent coin fell right near my chair. So I bent over and tried to pick up the coin while holding Lovelin on my lap. Suddenly, WOOOP! I fell down. I hit my bum. The impact was hard on my butt and I'm pretty sure Lovelin was alright as my lap didn't feel any impact or pain because of the fall. She didn't cry at first but after 5 seconds, she started to cry. I'm quite sure she cried because she got a shock but I feel really bad.

I know it's not my fault and everything but I still feel bad. Sigh. Next time, I'll be more careful when I'm holding a child. =S

PS: I like babies but I don't really like kids. It depends. ;)

Summer Love,
Sarah.

15 Malaysia

2009-08-25T23:25:00.007+08:00

Have you heard about 15 Malaysia? Well, it's 15 short films produced by our own famous producers. It's like a Malaysian version of Paris Je'taime but instead compiling them into 1 movie, this one, they release their short films on different dates. 4 out of 15 short films have been released. Go to their website 15malaysia.com. You can watch their films for free. And of course, I like. ;)

PS: What happen to the other gediks huh? Asyik orang je yang blog. Nanti readers naik bosan daaa.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

53

2009-08-24T23:04:00.009+08:00

After 5 days (Starting on Weds) of fever, FINALLY turun juga temperature to normal. I skipped 1 day class (On Thurs) because my fever was quite bad. It reached to 40 tau! Agak scary since sekarang ni ada banyak case H1N1 but thank goodness, it's just the normal fever. Tapi, I still have runny nose and still am coughing. Since, I'm such a good friend kan =P, I decided to wear mask. Tak nak orang kena juga ;).

I remember receiving an email from Elaine that has a lot of pictures with people wearing all kind of mask. So, I decided to spice up my mask by drawing something on it. At first, I wanted to draw a small cute mouth tau, tapi jadinya LOVE. Teheee =D. Then, I feel it was too simple, so I wrote my favourite number, 53.

When Winter and Spring came to my house and saw me wearing the mask, Winter was like 'Sarah, are you sure you're going to wear that to college?'. I replied 'Mestilah!'. As if she doesn't know me je =P.

So, we came to college, many of my college mate asked me 'Why 53?'. A short reply that I can answer was 'My favourite number is 5 and 3 and 8. 5+3=8'. To be honest, 8 wasn't my favourite number until I met my ex. He likes number 8 and from that on I like number 8 too. Not too sure why I still like it until now when he is now my ex. Yang peliknya, my another ex likes number 7, but after we broke up, I really hate number 7 and until now I hate number 7. Oh well. I still like my number 53 ;).

We had 3 and a half hour break just now. We decided to go to Pyramid. While we were walking into shops, Winter said 'Sarah, you know, a lot of people are looking at you tau. The kids was like turning their heads looking at you tau'. Hahaha. Nothing to say but I am still going to wear like that until I'm fully recovered.

I threw the mask away already but I'm going to draw and write the same thing again on the new mask. I want to do something else, but then feels like I shouldn't. So I won't =D.

PS: I wrote the number and drew the love with my eyeliner and coloured the love with my lipstick.

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Hijab aka Tudung

2009-08-23T03:45:00.007+08:00

Almost all of my non-Muslim friends have asked me this question, 'Why do you wear tudung? Why some of the Muslims don't wear them?'. Well, I hope this video helps you to understand.

This is a short film from Paris Je'taime. Paris Je'taime is a film that has 18 short films. It really is interesting to watch these short films. Some may be bored to you, some are just plain and some are just good. You should watch.

PS: Can I have a boyfriend like the guy in the video, please. =D

Summer Love,
Sarah.

Happy

2009-08-20T10:21:00.011+08:00

No! I'm not happy! I'm sick and feeling very weak. =S Just 2 days ago I was so hyper in my car while waiting for my Tita and my Bubu (Waited for 2 hours). My Tita had fever and it was quite high so my Bubu brought her to the hospital. She was fine the next day (Yesterday lah maknanya). But I think my maid and I got the fever from her (Or maybe not). Really hope that I'll be ok in few hours time. If lusa tak sembuh, I need to go to the hospital (I think). Pray for me =(.

Anyways, these are the videos I took while I was in the car. I was bored sebab tu ah jadi vain semacam.

Nak tunjuk my infamous Pokok Kelapak. Well, infamous untuk Gracie at least. She had her most embarrassing moment in Sem 2 because of the song. Tapi malas nak find website that can put audio in blog. So maybe next time lah kut.

PS: Feeling much better after I had long cold shower.

Summer Love,
Sarah

Gadoh

2009-08-17T00:58:00.018+08:00

Tomorrow is a start of Sem 3 and yet tak tidur-tidur lagi. Boleh tengok movie lagi tu. I've just finished watching this new movie called Gadoh. It is about racism in Malaysia and our government school system yang mostly tak boleh pakai. It really is a nice movie. It is not like those other movies yang baik je untuk mata politik. It's a reality that we are facing now.

In this movie, they really say what they really want to say. Memang tabik spring lah ;). Mostly chinese kutuk malays and malays kutuk chinese. Some may be too much for rakyat kita ni but I can take it sebab I have malay friends who said the same things about the chinese like in this movie. I don't like it when they say things like that. But when they do, I just say 'Tak baik tau', and they'll just stop there. Kalau tak, bagi lecture lah kat diaorang.

I really can't see myself to say those harsh words to others. Kalau jadi actor pun, rasanya I can't say those things and be cool with them as if I didn't say anything bad eventhough it's for a movie.

They also kutuk the school systems as well as the teachers. I don't believe that all the teachers are not dedicated but I do believe the government are now focusing on producing quantity of teachers rather than the qualities.

I think the reason why the movie is not in the cinema sebab politic punya hal. Typical politic ah. Tak mahu ditegur dan pantang ditegur.

It really makes me think about my school life, my teachers, schoolmates and more importantly, racism. There are a lot of things I want to say about this movie. Tapi kalau cakap, takut nanti spoilkan cerita. So watchlah the movie. Sangat best. You can watch it in youtube. Just type Gadoh part 1.

Syabas to Komas organisation.

I've watched 6 of the actors in this movie, in a play called Air Con last year. My big guest is that the directors watched their play in the Air Con. Their performance are really great in Air Con, so there is no surprise why they are selected.

PS: People always ask me what type of movie I like. I really like this kind of movie. The kind of where they make you think after watching it.

Summer Love,

Sarah

Johor trip

2009-08-16T23:11:00.001+08:00

Last Friday, my Bubu, her friend (Shariff) and I went to Johor for 2 days and 1 night trip. I brought 2 bags. 1 for my clothes (Black bag) and the other is all for my beauty products (Brown bag). Yes! I have become a BEAUTY FREAK!!! I'm not too sure why. Maybe sebab dah penat jadi those people yang tak ada confidence sebab my own appearance kut. Nak jadi pretty for myself. I want to be able to say that I'm pretty. I don't care what people think, but I do care what I think. Kalau tak, dah lama pergi diet kan ;). It is because I like my body looks like lah I don't care how much or what I eat. As long as I'm healthy. And the last time I check with the doctor, everything is normal =P. I brought 11 hair and skin products not including perfume, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste. Haa!! Ambil ko! And I used all of them for.

We went to Johor around 3.30 pm and reached around 7.15 pm to UTM. We went there sebab my cousin, Hana (But I call her Hana Nurbaya Banana), belajar sana. We decided to take her out and brought her to our hotel. We slept dekat Naza Hotel. The rooms in the hotel sangatlah kecil tapi not bad lah compare kat Penang Naza Hotel. Yang tu lagi teruk. We ate our dinner and went out to buy ginger sebab Bubu sakit perut, angin. So we went back to the hotel and I watched The Bunny House with Hana.

The reason why we came to Johor is because my Bubu is helping Brother Shariff to do a motivation activity (The reason why I used the word activity and not talk is because all of his motivations involve a lot involvement from the participants). He's from Holland and he has done motivation activity for years. He converted to Islam few years ago. He's real name is Peter van something something. Tak ingat. Panjang sangat. But I call him Brother Shariff. So far, I've been to 5 of his motivation. 2 of them, I was the participant and another 3, I helped him with my Bubu.

So, my Bubu's sister and my Bubu's sister's friend, gave sponsors to him to do motivation at my Bubu's sister's daughter's school. Nak senang cakap, my cousin's school lah. I call her Kak Omel (In our family, we don't really care who is older or not to call Kak. We just call them Kak whenever we feel like it).

The school is new but really interesting. It's not like any ordinary boarding school. It is a school for creative people. By this I mean, it is for musicians, dancers, painters, actors and many more. There are only 100+ people in the school. All from form 1 to form 3. They are going to open for form 4 next year and form 5 the following year. To get into the school, they had to go for several interviews. Jangan main-main tau, they all are the people who perform to the Menteri-Menteri, nak senang cakap, orang-orang besar. Kak Omel is involved with the music in the school. She can play really well with guitar and piano. Once, Hana asked her for music sheets that they have learned in school but she said 'Oh, kitaorang tak belajar guna sheets, kitaorang play by ears'. Gila cool kan!

Anyways, the students, teachers, and my uncle and auntie (They came all the way from KL at 5.30 in the morning to attend the motivation) really liked the motivation. I too. I've been to 5 of them and I am still not bored sebab he always try to improve and I can really see the improvement on each of his motivation. The motivation is mostly about LIFE and not so much about study. I think I appreciate more of my life because of his motivation.

Anyways, when we wanted to go back, there were 4 students who came and asked us to see their play. I heard that their play is really good. Tapi nak balik dah and the play was at night, so tak boleh lah. But Brother Shariff asked them to give him a call if they are doing performance in KL. We went back to UTM to send Hana back but we went to see my friend first to give her things. I really had a great time there though it was really a short trip =D.

PS: Found out the train from JB to Singapore dah buka. Jom pergi =D

Summer Love,
Sarah

Homesick

2009-08-16T23:06:00.005+08:00

I'm back in Sunway but I must have left my heart back home.

I reached Sunway at 7, an hour earlier than I was supposed to. Initially, Sarah (Summer) was to pick me up because I was afraid of taking cab alone at night. Since I reached earlier and it so happened that I bumped into the same girl who went back to Penang with me previously, we took the same cab back.

After dinner with Xiu, I've unpacked my luggage, organized my table, cleaned my room, took a long bath, did a facial mask, talked to mum a while and I felt much better. And now I'm online. I was trying to keep myself preoccupied till I feel sleepy. I've been sleeping late during the holidays...so, hopefuly I'll manage to make myself sleep early tonight.

First day of Sem 3 starts tomorrow. It's also the first time after a month long where I get to see everyone again. Oh, I passed my Accounts! :) I'm really thankful for tat. Results are nothing to be proud of though.. Only serves me right for all those last minute cramming. I need to change tis habit... Easier said than done of course =/ Oh wells, I've to quit ranting.

Semester 3... New beginning =)
