To The Marmo,

Happy 20th Birthday!!

Birthday hug on Friday okay? Haha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exam schedule's out. Time to buckle down. Pressure's on from certain people who keeps mentioning, "CT, no need to worry la. Sure President's List again wannn!". Thank you for the confidence, but truth be told, if I got into Dean's List this sem, that will be a miracle let alone the President's List. Cut me some slack please...I'll be doing my best. And I'll be doing it for me. So, in other words, back off.

On another not so happy note, we ran over a cat two night ago. Well, actually Harvey did since he was driving that night. I know I know, not our proudest moments. But the minute we saw the cat jumping onto our path, it was too late. Everybody was too stunned to say anything until, "Okay, nobody panic..." but it didn't work because Bee Chin and I were still panicky 5 minutes later. Haha.

Okayyy, moving on to a much happier note, AMYY's organising a trip to Zoo Negara this Sunday. You guuuyyysssss, jommm?! Come la wei, I wanna go! It's been ages since I've been to the zoo! Release tension a bit. I even had dreams of elephants and monkeys last night. Mi Shel, Bee Chin and Sze Yi, jom la! *pleadinglook*

I'll leave you guys to think it over while I go bathe. Haha.

Everytime I log onto MSN and Facebook, Clay's recently updated status will be one of the few things that I will almost always see first. He's scaring me, to be honest. He works SO hard and ends up not having time for his loved ones that I'm scared I'll end up like him too.

Sometimes I wonder if I have what it takes.

The fever's messing with my head. =)

This Sunday,

I'll be going to the zooooo!!

Haha. Excited some more can?!

After much screaming of, "I wanna go to the zoo!" in the cafe last night, I finally succeeded in getting Bee Chin to join the trip and now I'm just waiting for Mi Shel to tell me that she's going tooooo!
*Okay, now I get why Geeta called me childish...*

Big Bird might come along too. The more the merrier la katakan. Haha. Besides, if we can get more than 15 people, we'll only have to pay RM14 instead of RM15. Mengada or not? Baik tak payah bagi discount..Haha.

Okay, that's it. I just wanted to tell you people, I'll be going to the zoo after all. =)

sacred_raven

So here's the thing.

You are a selfish bitch. You took her for granted.

The moment I let you go was the happiest moment of my entire life and I'm not kidding. It was like a burden was lifted. I was finally free from the balls and chains that was you. 

As of this moment, I do not and will not have anything to do with you anymore.

Good friggin' riddance bitch.

=)

The madness started on Sunday, 7th April 2008 when we - Harvey, Dada Pari, Adu, Bee Chin and I - arrived at the National Zoo at about 8.45am. Nobody was there when we arrived so Dada called Danny aka the mastermind behind this trip. Not five seconds later, he arrived in his orange Kancil. Then we had to wait in front of the entrance because the ticket counter only opened at 9am. So we loitered for a bit while waiting for the rest to arrive and when the others did, Rou Hui aka our resident chef distributed egg and veggie sandwiches to all so that he won't need to lug around the huge tupperware. Hello, the sandwiches, damn powweerrrr! I want to marry that guy because he can cook! Haha.

I think this was when we were waiting for the line of people at the ticket counter to subside. I was talking to Adu I think and Bee Chin was doing God - knows - what. (L-R) Helen and Rou Hui were enjoying the sandwiches. Joey's the girl in white, walking towards Pei See, the one in black, who is sitting down. Danny's the one in mud green (?!) Dada's stoning (Haha) and Harvey...was being Harvey. =)

At about 9+am, we finally got our tickets thanks to Pei See so we went in after taking a picture in front of the entrance (like la tak pernah pergi zoo before..Haha)Then we went for a quick tour around the zoo.

In the tram, waiting for it to fill up so we can go and see aniiimmaaaallllssss! Dada is flanked by Adu and Reeve (on his left and right respectively)Hey, how come Harvey and Rou Hui will almost always never look at the camera eh?

During the tour, we saw the tiger and someone asked the tour guide;

“Kak, is the tiger vegetarian? Because we got extra sandwiches and we wanna give it, can?”

“Why don’t you jump into the enclosure and see if the tiger will eat you or not. If it does, then you’ll have the answer..”

Damn mengada Rou Hui..Haha.

After about half an hour, the tram dropped us off at the entrance so that we can explore the zoo on our own. So, since we all wanted to watch the Multi Animal Show, we went to see the monkeys and the fishes first which were the closest to the Multi Animals Show’s venue.

I don’t know why la kan but the monkeys that day looked depressed. At least one of each monkey species there looked the other way everytime we approached their cages. Like these two monkeys above...

But these monkeys were funny okay! When we reached their cage, everybody was laughing because if you look closely, the monkeys were like posing for us. Cool poses some more! Don’t play play…LOL

And then we went to the aquarium where Rou Hui kept a running commentary on almost all the fishes there. And he kept pressing his face on the aquariums and went, “Wooowww, so preeeetttyyyyy!” or “You know the fish we saw outside just now? The biiigggg onnneee? The one like jaws like that? That’s ikan patin(..insert some other fishes’ names here) la!”

Then, at 11am, we went to the Multi Animals show and we saw seeeeaaalllssss. SO comel!

This seal is SO adorable and reminds me of a 5 year old kid. When he clapped, it was like super fast he looked like a kid who just got an ice cream. Haha.

Then, they also featured a Macaw (if I’m not mistaken la) that does gymnastics.

And this Hornbill aka Burung Papan has got to be one of the most beautiful creatures on Planet Earth.

Also, we saw this bird, I forgot what’s it called by I call it the mata duitan bird because it’ll only approach people who has money. Like the uncle in the picture who held out RM10 and the bird flew towards him and took the money. Cool bird but still a mata duitan bird. Haha.

This is the 18 year old seal (younger than us weiii!) who was more “polite” because when he clapped, he was more sopan. LOL.

 After half an hour, the show ended and we proceeded towards the next area where we saw....

...and even tried to feed the African Cattle. The others had fun trying to feed it and when the cattle stuck out his tongue to reach for the leaf they were holding, they ran away as if the cattle was going to jump out of the enclosure and chase after them..*smacksforehead*

These are the Bearded Boars I think. Our tourist guide said that they are one of the zoo’s main attractions because they have beards on their snouts.

This is Wizard who can be found in the Children’s World area. Name jek Children’s World but it was infested with 20+ year olds and a 30+ year old who were SO amazed by the bunnies and ponies and guinea pigs there. They took pictures of goats. Hello, GOATS! I can organise a trip to my kampung and they can take pictures of goats and cows and ducks and ants for free! LOL.

Then we went to see the bats which were situated next to the Bird Aviary. First time I saw bats up close okay. Excited but rather scared jugak because it was a closed area and someone was saying what if the bats suddenly flew towards us then where can we run to?! Haha. Then we got out of there and Danny stopped beside me and went,

“Did you hear that? The birds are singing. Where are they ah?”

So we went on a small search and then after a while, “Laaa, you know why we can hear the birds singing or not? Because the Birds’ Aviary’s right next to the bats’ cage la wei..” Both of us were quite blur in the morning sun after about 10 minutes spent watching the bats in a closed area. Haha.

Can you see the frog? So cool wei camouflaged like that..Haha. There was this one time, Bee Chin and I were trying to search for this one species of frog in its aquarium when this random lady came up and pointed at a small lump on the ground and went, “The frog is there..” Kaw kaw potong stim!

You see the orang utan on the left? It was abused by Jia Leong..He bought bananas to feed to the orang utans and the baboons but when he threw the bananas at them, two of the bananas kinda hit the baboon and orang utan. The orang utan didn’t react towards the “abuse” but the baboon refused to pick up the banana Jia Leong threw. It was sulking kot..Haha.

And then at about 2.30pm, after touring the whole zoo and snapping pictures of goats and birds and apes and eating a pack of groundnuts and a RM4 ice cream and complaining of the heat and answering the FAQ of the day, "Are you guys okay? Can still walk or not?", we stopped by the Photo Corner before we wrapped up the trip and took this picture.

Everyone with Hobbit the pony and the two snakes that I refused to touch even after some serious persuading by the trainers and the guys. Tay Xin and Pei Seewere brave enough to caress the snake…But the guys,

 ....they were enjoying it!

 For a while, Dada was enjoying it too;

…and then;

Ahahahahahaha! Priceless!
Look at his visor. Flowery betul! Haha.

Rou Hui wouldn’t put the snake down, seriously! While we were waiting for the trainers to develop the picture we took, he put down one snake and picked up the other one and played with it. I think if he was invited to stay at the zoo, he’d take up the offer in an instance! Haha.

 We went back to PJ around 3pm after about 6 hours of acting like primary kids about to get duit raya. Reached PJ around 3.45pm and went to Yian Tian in SS2 for a late lunch. Of course we arrived first (Harvey was so surprised we were first that he kept asking us if he was driving too fast..) and only after about 20 minutes later, after a few frantic calls made by Dada who were asking Danny, Jia Leong and either Joey/Helen/Pei See(aka the other drivers) if they were lost, the others finally showed up. Lepak – ed for a while and we finally got a chance to really get to know each other. Dada entertained us with stories about The Phillippines and bantered a bit with Danny in Tagalog while Harvey stoned because he was super tired after driving us from one place to another.

It was a fun day. The animals were cute, the people were amazing and the day was even more indescribable. =).

Many thanks to the photographers of the day Jia Leong, Tay Xin, Bee Chin and Danny. You see, because of them, I have more than 100 pictures of all kinds of animals now. Haha.

"Can you imagine if you only spend your time playing online games in cybercafes because that's the only place where you have friends? That's sad. So sad, you should just commit suicide and come back as a chicken."

LOL.

Tomorrow's the last day of sem, peeeooppllleee!

sacred_raven

Well, Michael Johns was unceremoniously booted out from AI.

But I have this to say, he totally deserved the standing ovation on Elimination Day.

Now, David Cook baybee, show me what you've goootttttt!

Haha. Semangat! Okay, off to watch Spongebob. =)

To the one and only Berlina who..

...spent a year being my deskmate thus subjecting her to a LOT of crap from me. =)

...never gets tired of listening to me complaint about school, teachers and boys then and everything now.

...used to tell people to not bother waking me up everytime I slept in class. 

...was the most underappreciated assistant secretary in the whole wide world (sorry!)

...loved physics and hated chemistry (maybe that's because we always "bully" your stool?! Hehe)

...I hope *fingersandtoescrossed* will get a placement in UM..or anywhere she wants.

...I still wonder why la she doesn't have any boyfriends yet.

and lastly, for being that one of few people who keeps me grounded, humbled, alive(as in fun okay babe, not breathing - kinda - alive.LOL) and loved.

For all of that and SO much more to come, I wish you

a very Happy 20th Birthday!

I love you LOADS and I'll see you in May!

sacred_raven

I'll be random. Don't say I didn't warn you..

ARGH! My feet are killing me thanks to about 3 hours going to and fro The Curve, Ikea and Ikano. And I was wearing flats oookkkaaaaayyyyy! Damn power right? Wore flats also can sakit kaki.

Anyways, hello people, I want the flowery wedges or the black strappy heels that - if - worn - and - I - fall - sure - have - to - wear - crutches from Vincci pleaseandthankyou. Size 6, I think. The mother bought wedges from Esarli.

Mother's Day present kononnye from us but she paid for them just now. Erk..anak - anak solehah sungguh we all ni.

On a happier note, bought Sujit Saraf's The Peacock Throne after about an hour of browsing Borders for books to buy. I think my dad should ban us all from bookstores. And shoe stores. And handbag stores. In fact, he should ban us all from any shopping malls if he doesn't wanna end up in bankruptcy soon...Now, I have three books to finish in two weeks. Eh wait, I've five books to read because I haven't started on the e-books I asked Khael to send. Totally forgot about them. LOL.

And speaking of sem breaks, I might go back to Ipoh by traaaaiiinnnnn! Haha. Excited ni! Might go back with Mun Kit. He had already said he'll go back with me but have to reconfirm with the guy. I hope he doesn't bail on me...Andandandandand, the AMYY Youth Camp at the end of the sem break is postponed to Julllyyyyy! Which means, I'll get a couple of extra days to spend at home.

Oh and I found out that my sister, my dearest elder sister whom I've loved and adored for the past 20 years, didn't think of me when my mum asked her who will be the bridesmaid at her wedding. Now I know where I stand in her life...Wait wait, emo a bit. *cuesadsong* Haha. Anyways, I told the mother that Peoy had said she wants to be in the wedding party when I get married regardless if she'll have an active role in the wedding or not ie if the family wears purple (hello, official colour remember?! LOL) she'll also wear purple and the mother said, "Caaaannnnnn!" Ah, Peoy, get ready baju kurung colour purple. Who else wanna be in my wedding party? Come, sign up. Haha.

Okay, and now I'm watching an Ogawa commercial. Did you know, my dad bought Osim's U - Zap a few days ago. Don't ask me what for. As far as I'm concerned, I've a feeling that come May, the thing can be found in a corner with 5 inches of dust on it. Like the exercise bike we bought ages ago which ended up being my cat's napping place and the dumbbells the father bought a few months ago which ended up in my brother's possession. My mum said, "Oh cabar ye! Takpe takpe. Tengok la nanti, mama dengan papa mesti gune punye!". Haha. The only way to get them to use the thingy is by mocking them. Like when I mocked my dad for taking up 6 months to finish a storybook that is not even that thick. So, the last time he bought a storybook, I told him that, "by the time kak ngah balik, satu page pun tak habis lagi..hehe." Hey, it worked okay because the mother said that he's halfway done with the book. Which also means, that I have another book to read! Haha.

And lasssstttlllly, I know this is going to be uber random, BUT our official colour for raya is REEDDD!! I mean, finaaalllllyyyyy! I asked for red and got green last year. I asked for red, again, this year and got veto-ed by the mother because she was looking at a gorgeous looking cloth in beige, while talking to me, and then she did a complete turnaround and bought red. I mean, *shakeshead*.

And nooowwww, I have to go shower because I stink. And then continue practising Chinese writing. And listening to A Fine Frenzy. Which reminds me, Micccchhhhyyyy, download A Fine Frenzy's Liar, Liar and Ashes and Wine, that is if you haven't downloaded them yet. Guaranteed to love them! Because I do and you know I have awesome taste in music. Hehe.

P/S :....OH, Kristy Lee Cook's OUT! But imho, she should have been kicked out ages ago! I swear to God, she only stayed on because she's hot. She can't really sing and I still say Michael Johns shouldn't have been booted!

Dr Doug Ross in ER, Daniel Ocean in the Ocean's Trilogy. This man's uber charismatic. Ask my sister and Peoy. LOL
