Now that my Langkawi Expedition is over, I then loyally followed mum back to Epo to visit my favourite Godmum, Uncle Mike, Gramps and Gramms. We headed straight to Canning Garden altogether only to find out that it was a coincidental combo of Cousin Sam and Aunt Mei Leng’s birthday.

Fantastic. No one told me.

Just before the Bee Movie

Sammie, Christy and I chatted for hours and ended up watching The Bee Movie. It was arguably nice to watch. However, like I’ve said before (and will say it again) I despise CGI cartoon animation.How did wonderful classics like The Lion King and Beauty & the Beast vanish? What, so now technology is too advanced for you to wield a pencil and a sketchbook to sit down and illustrate a character from a figment of your imagination? Wow. How I applaud technology with big, encouraging smiles. Uh-huh. The degree of how much little kids are missing out on goes a long way.

We then checked out each other’s songs and I found Bullet for my Valentine rather interesting. Evanescence and My Chemical Romance still rocks my socks though. It has rockish beats and it’s tainted with gothic emo. Ahh.. none can compare. I apologize to all those bubblegum pop fans out there for the previous statement.

Soon, songs turned into pictures and yes… what happened? Hahaha. Cam-whoring!

The birthday party was great with an (almost) balanced population of oldies and youths… oh, not to forget the in-betweens too. *grin* Jun Wai came and I got rather paranoid when he wanted to ‘play’ with my cellphone. Hmm… Anyway, this is Jun Wai. WITH. MY. BELOVED. CELLPHONE.

Cousins reunite!

On the way home, everyone was in euphoria checking out all the piccies that I’ve took of the entire party and suddenly, hell broke loose. Goddy flared up and hurled rather nasty words to us for cam-whoring. Woman, if all of us don’t cam-whore to take piccies of an occasion, how is anyone to remember the fond memories and laugh at it when we turn grey? I don’t think you’d even recall this occasion considering the fact that memory can be a challenge to people your age. Yes, that was nasty – but only because you were in the first place. Be nice.

Anyhow, I had a fabulous time with Sam & Christy. I guess the next time I’ll be meeting ya’ll will be Melbourne in 2010. Long way to go babes! Hugs & kisses.

 

Tired. but so thrilled and satisfied.. seriously, that was one of the best adventure trips of mine this year! Could be better, due to our gang’s budget constraints… but it was tha bomb nevertheless!

The ferry ride was breathtaking enough with a picturesque sunrise scenery. I felt like I was in an updraft because the winds blew at God-Knows-How-Many-Knots-per-Hour! After the ferry ride across to the peninsular, we then brandished our map and were armed with nothing but the clothes on our back.

Hmm.. which way to Kuala Muda?

We arrived at the harbour all hyped up and engines were ready to blast! It was in the afternoon sun and boy, were we flushed!

It’s an explorace Malaysia for us.. and yea, three in this female team.
Geography suddenly came in handy, huh babes?

In the ferry : When the boredom gets tough, the Gurls will always be gurls (guys included!)

Before we knew it, it’s touch-down!

The Rent-a-Car hell sucks! And the weather was merciless! They charged us 80 friggin bucks for a Proton Wira with extremely low fuel! Haha. oh what the hell, right? It’s all part of the adventure… they don’t call it Survivors for no reason Despite the frustration, we made use of the sunlight and did whatever that made us happy.

Why, thank you Mother Nature.

After filling up the fuel, we then adjourned to the Mahsuri exhibition centre in Padang Mat Sirat for the LIMA shows and displays. *sigh* we still did lose our way for a moment even with the help of a map. Thank goodness a good Samaritan helped us with the directions
 

Hence the success of arriving in time. 

The exhibition was indeed marvelous. You could tell in my previous post that I was extremely excited and revved up, couldn’t ya? I couldn’t get to upload any piccies then due to the restrictions of the bluetooth technology in that random laptop.

yay!! We received lotsa freebies too!

*squeals* We met Sheikh Muszaphar!!!!!!
He’s ssso cute!!

Those were only a few from the inside… let’s take a look outdoors now!

Osama’s 2nd attack??

Muahahaaha.. we then went straight back to the hotel to chill. Played some card games and bet on alcohol, sat to chitchat until our tummies signaled dinner

Duty free shopping never felt this good…

Yummy cute miniature Absolute! I want it for my collection!

Hersheys makes me SMILE!

After puchasing all the necessary stuff needed for our very own booze and hangout session at Pantai Chenang beach, we drove straight there just before our lil midnight party

Love ya’ll babes! Friends since we were kids!

wtf??? lol.. I did not recall this pic at all.
Thanks Zoe! Credit goes to Kerwin for snapping this rare pic !

Everyone’s cellphone and camera weren’t exactly in a working condition the next morning. Probably recovering from hangovers just like we were. LOL. Nah, those gadgets of ours just had one too many gulps of sand when were burried each other here and there

Kuah town was the 1st destination for us and we did lotsa shopping there too.. woo-hoo!

My new pair of Adidas superstars

 Haha.. the new Adidas ambassador

Hiking anyone? hahahaa… Telaga Tujuh was where we headed to and check out the coconuts!!

fuggin huge, no?
Compare it to our heads and then to yours

omg… we missed the ferry at 3pm and the next round is at 7pm! goodness me! LOL. While we kept ourselves occupied playing some games…..

My other two babes were somewhat bored outta their wits!

Well at least we ain’t looking like this
She REALLY has nothing better to do too. LOL

6.59pm… tick tock goes the clock. 7pm!!! Finally, we then got through the customs officers, queued up and boarded our ferry.

*more pix in my Facebook soon! Episode 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 altogether*

Andrea & I went shopping the whole entire day immediately after exams for the fun of it and yes, to forget our depression about Part C in the Public Relations exam. *yipes*

Catchin some shots with her new cellphone-

Browsed through this and browsed through that.. pretty lil things we saw, like those awesome stuff from Gizmo right Drea? I really love those adorable yet practical stuff – reminds me of the ones from IKEA

And we also crashed into Secret Recipe for some cakes! Ahh… the sin of sugar.
Burn off the fat tomorrow!

Later into the evening, I headed to eXtreme hair salon (Drea decided to accompany me as well ) to go for my regular hair appointment. I had a new haircut and chose to do a mild highlight this time. Yeah, I had the director to do it for me again (with an extra fee) My being particularly very precise in my description of what I wanted, and only he and he alone could do it.

Here’s the final result! I‘m pleased with the outcome

Throughout the period while waiting, we came across a few Digital Makeover articles while reading the latest Female mag. Sharing the same opinion – very critical about people who used Photoshop to make any ol’ plain Jane turn into a Runway model. Check this out peeps –

okay so yes. NATURAL BEAUTY is indeed the best.
We are beautiful in EVERY single way!! (Aguilera, C. 2002)

I can officially say that a large area of my skin has corroded due to the friction between the couch and my body. Why, you ask? Fancy sitting in the same couch for more than 5hours doing everything pertaining to college.. gahh. Why do I even bother? My gramps would probably have bedsores by then… in this case, couch-sores.
So yeah, 5 consecutive hours on the same couch drove me bored to death and I’ve ran outta ideas to make myself even more lethargic. Yeah, declining many outings today and forcing myself to embellish the gray leather couch working & studying isn’t exactly my cup of tea. But, too bad.. I’ll be fully occupied for the evening and night.. you don’t expect me to be painting the town red in the afternoon right? Priorities come first. (cheh-wahh)

Then again, when boredom gets the better of me….. 

Going.. Going.. GONE.
And she resurrected!!!

I then decided to pamper myself with a manicure and a pedicure. Oooh, I’m lovin it! It’s black with a single white stripe. That’s how bored I can get…. bahhhh. I cant wait for the BBQ party!! *gleams* We prepared some currypuffs for everyone later too

Big with great fillings!! =)

Finally! It’s time for the BBQ get together and boy I’m so relieved. Goodbye couch, hello food!

It’s one of my fav places to have BBQs, around the Gold Coast vicinity. Just lovin’ the ambience and the perfectly-lit park
Pretty isn’t it? The steps makes me feel so imperial. =)

No party is complete without good food & booze!


*more pix in my facebook*

As Aunt BeeLiew  Uncle SoonKheng just returned from their holiday in Hong Kong, we received some pretty gifts from Disneyland and got to marvel over their pictures. (Note to self: Go to Madame Tussauds wax museum) Oh and I hope our planned trip to the United States actualize!

Looks like my day was well-balanced.. ON PURPOSE. Gahhh
