don't even know where to start... lolz... okay, let me try to recall last week's events... it seems sooooo long ago... and i was talking to mun kiat over dinner just now only to realise that saturday was yesterday... gosh!

hahaha *flashback* all i recall is that i had a microbiology assignment on ilya metchnikoff (one of the guys that i'm learning to respect...okay, i'll talk bout him in another blogging session lolz) and principle of nutritions (pon) mid-term on friday... started doing my assignment at 6pm (?) lolz (was watching the latest episode of house and a little catching up on heroes... =P) dwelled here and there... contributed my part in cooking...ate and chit-chat (what was i thinking with time not on my side?! typical old me... lolz) then continued until about 4am!!! (plus printing...had to go hunt for A4 papers, ran out of them...lolz) and then, chat for awhile before lying on my bed trying to study nonsensical stuff in preparation for my pon mid-term...fell asleep...woke up in time for 9am lecture (which i think was an amazing achievement! heck, i don't even wake up in time for my 10.30am class! ooops) went to class...listened while studying...then, went to the exam at 11am...i think i flunked it...damn! (i mean hello, how would i know what's the percentage the average daily nutrient intake level that meets the needs of all healthy people in a particular life stage and gender goal?! the answer, by the way, is 97-98%, which i screwed up) and loads of crappy stuff...urgh! finished before 12pm...was supposed to have lab class at 2...so, 2 hours to waste away...schiesse! i went to the music room only to realise that the piano's booked all the way till 3pm...darn! then, hanged around with cj and ynie, listening to them playing the "ku-zheng", then finally when reality finally reached my brain that there's absolutely no way i'm gonna get my fingers on the piano before 2pm, i headed over to the library only to be told that the computer system is down...so i ended up reserving three books...what else could go wrong?! then, had lunch...miserable chicken rice and can drink...before heading to the lab...only to be told that the culture's NOT READY so class is cancelled!!! argh!!! good that i can go back earlier but i just threw away my two hours for nothing...i could have taken an earlier bus back to penang!!!

so... fine, i rush to catch the uni bus, which luckily was still there...met ynie who's a sweetheart... she offered to carry my lab coat and "kiam hu" back so that i don't need to drag them all the way to pg!!! yippee! THANKS YNIE!!! you're an angel! =) lighter bag... so there i was on the way to the bus station with only my pink-sylph bag!!! *big wide grin* the lightest baggage i've ever carried back! =P then had my another coursemate to accompany me all the way, in the lrt, to masjid jamek, where i transit to star lrt to get to pudu...went there only to realise, to my utter horror, no more tickets available!!! konsortium had a 4pm bus...i arrived at the bus station at 5mins to 3...i was so impatient to get my body and soul onto the bus that i actually rejected the offer and took up the bus that was beside me scheduled for 3.15pm departure...what on earth was i thinking?! i was shocked when she told me i had to pay 30bucks!!! the normal ticket's only 27!!! what a leech! she mumbled something about you know la, it's school holidays now, so you know la, banyak orang, you know la, then, gave me that look, then said you know la (again!) i tried to negotiate with her then just gave up cause i was too impatient to just get my feet on penang grounds... gave her the money and went to wait... damn, it was scary and freaky... i began to regret... 3pm came and gone... 3.15pm came and gone... 3.30 came... then, i met this really sweet and gorgeous malay gurl and we stuck to each other...scared to the core that we were being cheated and afraid that we would be kidnapped to goodness-knows-where!!! after awhile, we were "escorted" to another part of the bus station...stood there like idiots waiting for the non-existent bus...then, after they were satisfied that we made the statement that we were a bunch of idiots standing in the middle of nowhere desperately calling out for attention, they made us walk all the way OUT of the bus station only to stand (again!) by the side of the road, looking like pathetic idiots under the rain! waited there till 4pm then, satisfied that we are drizzled with poluted water, we had to cross the killer road before pushing and tugging our way into the bus... (free seating and believe if you have seen the condition of the bus, you would squeeze and tug as well to get places at the front part of the bus... not that i need to since i was petite i just stood there and thanks to their pushing, i ended up in front of the steps without acting like a barbarian since they helped me there instead of helping themselves... lolz) ahhh! finally in the bus! was supposed to sit together with the malay gurl but since i found a single seat, i saved one in front of me for her... =) then, we waited AGAIN for goodness-knows-what before the journey actually started... i gave up looking at the time... i knew i would be dishearten at the delay... after being satisfied that they (the bus driver and his companion) waited for air, they finally started the journey... *psst, the chair was extremly comfortable despite the horrendous surrounding... lolz i called my mum to inform her... she panicked more than i did! hahaha she was like, why didn't you buy konsortium, how did i end up in that bus, is it safe and all those motherly question, (thank goodness my amah didn't know, i think i'll get calls every five seconds or so) then she said, are you sure the bus won't break down or sth? i said (trying to be convincing enough) no, it won't... don't worry... 10-15 mins later, guess what? the engine started spluttering like it drank too much water... HELP!!! schiesse! i was like thinking... mum, why did you have to say that?!? although i know she has nothing to do with it... thank goodness after (15-30mins) it started making heavenly engine sounds... *phewwww*

journey then continued... i was sooooo bored that i actually took out my pon notes to flip through and it did what all notes are supposed to do...i fell into sweet but scared dreams... afraid that i would wake up in thailand or sth... loz... the next moment i opened my eyes, my notes were scattered on the floor underneath my seat... and i was at this really ulu place... eeeek! then i saw the universal sign for girls and guys... okay... no way i'm going down...then i realised schiesse! i'm the only one in the bus... okay...maybe going down is a good idea after all... the malay gurl was waiting for me outside... we ended up buying drinks and kaya pau...continued our journey after more than 30mins break.... apparently this guy actually paid the toll to go to this particular rest place...i stayed awake for a moment or two to make sure we were actually on the real NSE before i went to dreamland... woke up after the moon rised...decided that i had enough scary dreams and should start noticing where the bus is heading... mum called every now and then till my hp ran outta batt...well, my batt was like 2 bars anyways... so, she didn't get to call much anyways... luckily, i managed to make arrangements to meet her near the juru toll instead of sg nibong bus terminal in penang before the battery went flat...

okay... i looked... and looked... and look... YAY! after eons, i finally saw the toll! man, was i glad! went down the bus, schiesse! where's my mum? why is my hp dead? where's the public phone? okay, stay calm, toll toll, hmmm... toll should have public phones... walked a bit and bingo!!! called mum and she told me that she's already here? WHERE?! shell...what shell? i started to panic...a little, i thought i went down at the wrong stop or sth... then, i was like stay calm....and open your already tired eyes...could barely see the shell sign (has yet to be completed so no lights or whatsoever life-form) in the dark....i was like ok fine, let's just walk and then decide... then saw mum!!! YIPPEE!!! yes!!! home sweet home!!!

we talked and talked until we reached home... YAY!!! amah!!! man, i missed her sooooooooooo much!!! i gave her a big bear hug...hahaha dinner's ready! warmed and delicious... i miss her cooking!!! walked up and down my home sweet home before finally taking a looooooong hot shower (man, it feels good to be back home) and settling down to eat!!! lolz amah sat down and accompanied me...then ahhh...nice comfortable bed!!! before that, i went to chit-chat with mum and dad for awhile and took back my me to you bear... they left my poor darling to collect dust and didn't even bother to give it an occassional hug...the poor thing...

next morning, i simply refuse to wake up...if it wasn't for my appointment with the chiropractor, i would have just kept on dreaming... lolz supposed to be out by 9 and reach before 10... lolz after my usual dwelling and touching the piano, my fam managed to get me out of the house by 9.20 and reached seagate with ample time to spare...my mum dropped me and sent my amah to my aunt's place to attend a wedding dinner... who said amahs can't have fun? i think she has a more active social life than me... *sigh* anyways, while waiting for the centre to open, i took a picture overlooking the sea and penang bridge though i think you can barely make out the outlines of the bright... so sue me for not having a proper camera...

then, off to the hairdresser...mum dropped me at 11 plus and went to the temple for dana...was there for like 4-5 hours...had to wait for my mum as well...she joined me later to perm her hair... lolz...here's my before and after picture...

finally it went through but now the printer simply refuses to cooperate so i had a manual ticket... yay! out of the place!!! sent my aunt home, took some pictures in the garden on the swing, which i absolutely love and had sweet memories...then, headed to get my dvds only to be disappointed...the store wasn't opened... *sniff sniff* fine, off to fetch amah then! yippee!!! arrived back home rather late... 10plus... linger around...packed my stuff... gawd! i had to bring two extra bags! carried food, music notes and stuff... lolz i swear, the bigger bag i have, the more things i find to put in it... lolz it runs in the family... hahaha k, after playing the piano until 12am, packed, i retired to bed... switched off the lights BUT ended up yakking and giggling with amah until 3am!!! lolz we would have talked more if we hadn't laughed so much... it was good catching up with her... =D we talked about practically everything under the sun... (though i simply refuse to tell her how much i spent for my crowning glory, she would freak out and i made my mum promise not to tell her...lolz i just told my amah, you don't wanna know how much i paid...she was you sure...then looked at me and said, yeah, i probably won't want to know although her face shows absolute curiousity...mark my words, she'll find out sooner or later...she's that good...lolz)

was stirred up at 8 plus...9am...the next day...lazed around my bed before dragging myself up...took a bath and had another scrumptious lunch...10 dishes to finish!!! and that's without dessert!!! i love being at home! i couldn't even stuff in the nyonya kuih... *sniff sniff* so unfair... why can't the pos laju be laju-er?! *sob sob sob* anyways, mum was like shu ying, we are short of time...i uh huh and then ran to touch my piano before dad gave me the look and started to say something which i quickly replied, yeah, going now... then, put a sad face... lolz mum and dad managed to get me out by 10plus... that was not before i gave amah loads of big bear hugs and kisses... lolz...

arrived penang way before 11am cause dad suddenly decided not to use the ferry...darn! i could have spent that time with amah...lolz dad was a tad jealous... says he's not getting enough attention from me... lolz we ended up spending time at tesco where i bought a mag to accompany me during my lonely journey back to lonely kl...arrived at the terminal only to my utter delight to find out that i will be sitting in a double decker... lolz another long story... hugged and kissed goodbye to mum and dad and headed to my seat only to realise that i DON'T have a seat!!! but it was good...i actually ended up right in front... where i really wanted to be...when the guy sorted things out and asked me to change places... i politely asked him whether i could just stay where i was...he was cool about it... yay!!!
