Oh man.. time really, really flies! To think that, a week from now, Semester 8 is gonna commence! Whoa, B104! Our final semester before we throw our mortarboard as high as we can! Gosh, I can't wait! But at the same time, knowing that I won't be seeing my friends, whom I've grown to love so much, as often as I used to, makes me rather sad... Even now I'm beginning to miss my gang of crazy wackos and the times we've spent together these last four blessed years~!
My friends have been with me through thick and thin, watching me grow from a child to an adult. When I think about it.. I don't think I would have adjusted well to life in IMU if it weren't for them.. They were there for me when all others turned their backs at me and protected me all the way trough.. They stood up for me and fought for my rights and would all cramp in the small toilet cubicle to wipe my tears. Many a times have they turned my frown upside down and made me laugh like there was no tomorrow~!
There's nothing they wouldn't do for me that I wouldn't do for them, of this I am certain. I'm really thankful for the fact that I had the opportunity to meet this bunch of wonderful people who hailed from different parts of Malaysia and I'm proud of the friendship we've nurtured into a sisterhood, with a bond tight enough to withstand the winds of change!
Beowulf (pronounced as Bey-Wolf) is a must watch!!
Based on the oldest surviving epic of the English language created sometime before the 10th century A.D, this 3D movie directed by Robert Zemeckis tells of a mighty warrior Beowulf and his triumph against the monster Grendel only to have him seduced by the monster's ruthless yet beautiful mother.

You know how 3-in-1 stuff are really popular right now? 3-in-1 milo, 3-in-1 nescafe, etc etc? Well, this is a 3-in-1 post! Save space, time, and energy I've so little left of, no thanks to Jason! *Grumble*
Fashion Statement
My mum's ex-colleague's son got hitched last Saturday and my whole family were invited for the wedding luncheon at Legacy Hotel Malacca to grace the hall with our presence~! LOL! Anyways, instead of blogging about the wedding reception which is about the same as any other receptions, I decided to blog on fashion no-no's and fashion go-go's I saw at the reception..
First... The fashion Go-Go!
Can't really see what those girls are wearing.. but those dresses were really really nice! Suited their bodies as well! Not surprised.. They're the groom's sisters..
And next... Fashion No-No! (Mouse over to see my evil comments)
Lols! What can I say? There were just more fashion no-no's than go-go's!
2-Days with Jason
I literally wanted to strangle Jason Law! *ARGHHH* He not only made me wait like a bluddy fool and made me queue like a stoopid donkey, he also made me walk so much, I ended up sweating and smelling like a mad pig, and having muscle aches all over!!! *GRRR*
Day One
The only thing that kept me from literally burying him alive was the fact that he was a gentleman most of the time... But I have to admit.. I did have a LITTLE bit of fun... despite having a sore throat now coz I couldn't stop nagging at him during the whole 45 mins walk from KLCC to Times Square!
Day Two
Double Celebration
Yesterday (20th Nov) was Sabena and Chern Wuay's 22nd birthday! Ernest, Jee and a couple of others threw a surprise birthday party for them at Secret Recipe in Jusco Seremban 2. 9 people (excluding the birthday boy and girl, including me) joined in the fun!
Birthday boy and girl~!
It was a pretty ok dinner despite the whole bill calculation problem (my theory was right! Somehow the figures came out wrong.. damn) but well, unlike a lot of birthday parties I've been invited to, this one was rather.. quiet.. I guess? But it was pleasant and a birthday celebration nonetheless~!
Ooh hey.. I found a couple of my old pictures.. Those taken during my college days.. Wow.. And now I'm about to start my last semester of my four year Pharmacy course! Gee.. Time flies..
With Kok (his Chinese name is exactly the same as Aaron Kwok's)
Tian Cheng and I (We used to get teased together coz his English name is Joseph.. Lol)
Ken Lik (looks like your neighbourhood Ah Beng kia but don't be fooled! His CGPA was 4.0!)
So.. do I look the same as last time? Lots of people tell me I look younger now.. That's prolly coz I've gained a lot of weight since then! Haha!
On Deepavali night (8th November) at about 9PM, Sek Kuan fetched me from my place with his father's new Honda City which we was literally scared to drive, to go to Puspa's place. Huey Li arrived a lil' later..
Vegetarian cookies.. Still tasted awesome without the eggs!
Puspa and Sek Kuan - Happily married! Haha! Nah.. they're both straight! Or at least I think so...
Sek Kuan trying to get Puspa's nephew's attention.. Too bad he was too distracted by my shiny pink camera~!
Puspa then had to go to his sister-in-law's place in Jementah for a Diwali party, so we left his place and headed to Jayanthi's place for her mother's awesome and mouth-watering Indian dishes~!
Group picture at Puspa's place before heading to Jayanthi's house.. And we girls NEVER planned to wear the same colour k!! It was a coincidence.. seriously!
Sek Kuan, Huey Li and I enjoying every morsel of food at Jayanthi's place!! I go there every Deepavali without fail just to fill my tummy with Auntie Sarala's nasi briyani and curry chicken!!
The hostess and us parasites.. Jayanthi's grandmother was the one who helped us take our picture.. Jayanthi was telling her Pathy which button to press when she took the picture! She's a pretty good photographer eh?
It was great seeing Puspa and Jayanthi that day.. It's been months since I last saw them! Had AGE the next day due to all the spicy food, but it was well worth it!
Simran & Narinder's Engagement Party
The 10th of November 2007 marks a very special day for my friend, Simran. This is the day she got engaged to her long time boyfriend, Narin! Congrats dear girl! Remember, I wanna be the Godmother of your first kid! LOL!
The engagement was held at Simran's parents' place in Shah Alam. Magdalene and I went there together with Mag at the wheel.. Jen, Qi Yun and her family came later.. The house was packed!! There were easily 50 guests present for Simran's engagement!
The ceremony starts with the blessing of the couple by relatives. The older ones would put money onto the couples laps and feed them sweet cake like things then show their affections before they walk away to let others do the same.
After blessings were given to the newly engaged couple, it was photo taking session! She was just sooo beautiful!! Not like Simran isn't beautiful everyday, but today, she was just positively... glowing!
Later, before lunch, Narin offered us some nuts and sweet stuff to eat.. Simran said that that was tradition and that we had to finish everything including the bitter tasting nuts thingy!
Check out Simran's hands! Took 2 hours to complete that magnificent work of art!! The picture was rotated to 180 degrees so that you can see the picture properly without having to turn your monitor upside down.. Haha!
Took a group picture with Simran before going back... We had to leave early coz my train back to Segamat was to depart at 1400 hours!
I didn't manage to catch my train.. What was suppose to be a 10 minute drive, became a 90 minute drive! And that was also because Mag turned into LDP highway after getting caught in the massive jam on Federal Highway for one and a half hours!!
If she had stayed on that highway and drove on to KL Sentral, who knows how long it would've taken! Besides, I already missed my train while we were still in the jam, so what was the point of continuing our journey on Federal??
I later found out that there were massive jams on most of the major highways due to road blocks conducted simultaneously because the police were trying to control the public from attending an illegal demonstration called the "Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections" or BERSIH being carried out at Dataran Merdeka at that very moment!
From Al-Jazeera
The demonstration at Dataran Merdeka. Taken inside the KTM commuter on the way to Subang Jaya commuter station to meet Tek Jee, Chern Wuay and Joo Ee. Can't really see anything tho..
Seriously... I've no comment.. I wonder what's the world coming to.. I just know like a lot of other Malaysian road users, I'm really really really pissed off!
