Hong Kong trip~~Loooveeely~~!

20/01/2010---Wednesday

Huhu...today's going to be the day,my first time to a foreign country. Damn excited. Woke up at 6.30am. Bathed,cleaned myself and got myself ready.Wear nice and ate breakfast. Aunt Kat was a good host. Since early in the morning she got up and made breakfast for us. We really felt bad because she also slept late last night. Waking up so early just to make breakfast for us and send us out. So, after all of us( me, jie and mum) got ready,we carried our luggage down and waited for the taxi. Oh yeah. Forgotten to tell your all bout Sporean taxis. The taxis in Spore are all of nice and good cars. You can hardly see a "lao beh chia" or to be more specific,there is no "lao beh chia" there de. So good. The cabs there are so advance. You can see almost every cab has a GPS system in their car. Good service especially. So,a taxi arrived and the cab aunty help us carry our luggages into the boot and drove us to Changi airport. Our flight is around 8am. I can't remember the exact time d.Sorry.We checked on the board to see the plane we're boarding and the time of departure.Our plane is Cathay Pacific, CX 736,if I'm not mistaken.So, we "tour" around Changi airport after we got our luggages check-in. We are asked to check in 15 minutes before the flight. We first had a light breakfast, a kaya toast and milo. Then, we looked around the shops in the airport. When it was almost time of departure, we went to get our passport done. As soon as we are about to enter the flight, we have to uhm...had our body checked, means the officers there will monitor your body to see if your carrying dangerous weapons and explosives. Lol. I have to make sure there is no single metal on my body. Mind you, be it necklace,watch,ring or handphone, you have to take it off.It's like that. So, after they checked my body, we went down to enter our plane. Wow. This is my first time on a plane. Mixed feelings. I'm scared but joy and excitement eventually overcome my fearness. Sigh. I don't get to sit near the windows:( How I wish I can looked down at the scenery as we flew off. So, when we are on the plane, we were asked to switch off our handphones and ipods by the crew assistant. The stewardess there are pretty,young,elegant and friendly. We were given headphones because the back of the seats had a small screen where we can actually watch movies and listened to songs. Not only that, we can also play with the games there. Haha. But before we can enjoy the entertainment, we have to wait about 30minutes after the plane started to land off. We are given instruction on life safety and so on on the screen. We tightened our seat belts and then the plane started to fly. The feeling was great! I don't feel any fear at all! Haha. Instead, I was always kept trying to look out into the windows but it's rather hard as my seat was far from it:(

Then, after the remote control can be used, haha..the first thing I did is...played game. Lolz. I played the Honey Bee where I'm a bee,and I have to collect nectar from flowers but I have to watch out for the frogs,birds and fishes. Sigh. I "died" two time in the game that I got so bored. Then I switched another game which is quite okay. After playing the game, I go for songs and music. I was shocked that the songs there are so updated. Many new songs and many many many songs of all ranges. There was even Korean,Japan,Taiwan,English,oldies and so on...I first clicked to Taylor Swift's songs and listen to the songs. Then I was actually stunned yet excited to found F4 special edition songs there. This plane was so good, I was telling myself. I've never expect this type of entertainment in a plane. As I saw that album, I immediately clicked the button "F4 special edition" and listened to all the songs while my sister is watching "500 days with Summer". It was a romance show, very nice. The girl was pretty. But I don't really know what's the story about nor how's the story goes as I was listening to my music with my headphone and my sis watching it with her headphone too. I just looked at the pictures nia because every seat has a place for the headphone plug and you can actually listen to it with your own headphones.After that, we reached Hong Kong about 1something in the afternoon. We then checked on the board where to take our luggages and where we should settle with our passport stuff as we have to cop our passports. So, we went up the escalator and go to Belt 11. Wow. I could actually see many Japanese, Koreans and Mainland China comes to Hong Kong by looking at their passports. We got our passport "copped" and went to take back our luggages. Jie then phoned the agent which will pick us up. We were asked to wait at the tourist picking up area where she will come and meet us. There we befriended with a lady with her son. She said that she's from Spore too and her son wanted to come here just to buy clothes, branded clothes. My sis was thinking, wah...come all the way from Spore to HK just to buy clothes? Haha. Sporeans are all so rich wan...Jie then talked to the agent about the Disneyland trip that we will be following as the other days we wanna walk on our own. The agent told us that the Disneyland tour would be on the third day, which is 22nd January. After that we (me,mum, sis and the lady with her son) followed the agent where we were brought to our hotels via bus. On the way, I looked around Hong Kong. I really loved the scenery at there, the sea, the trees and the weather since it was quite cold and not so hot like Msia. But, I like Msia too for its scenery too. I just love whatever which attracts me and is lovely. It was funny but I video up during our way to our hotel. The Sporean lady stayed at Holiday Inn which is such a huge hotel. We stayed at Kimberly Hotel which is located at Kowloon. Our hotel is also big. One of the bellman is quite cute and good looking.HEhehe.We stayed at the 10th floor, the first room. So our room number is 1001. Easy rite? We then rested awhile because all of us was so tired. Then around 6.30pm,we showered and got ourselves ready. Oh yeah by the way, the hotel service was so good!~ They even provided us with bath salt..Huhuhu...~~~~ and also moisturiser, soap, and so on. I always used the bath salt when I showered. The bath salt smells so nice~~~ Then we went down and hunt for food. Hehe. We are strangers at this place. We don't even know where to go nor where to eat. But we just simply walked and walked till we found a restaurant. But of course, we have to recognise the place so that we won't got lost.Means we must know where we come from and how to get back to our hotel.First day was quite tough because my brain hardly works. I can hardly remember the places.It just won't cooperate with me.Sigh. Then, we found a noodle restaurant and went in just to try the food there. I ordered for wan tan mee with taiwan dumplings.Sis ordered wan tan mee with shrimp dumplings.Mum ordered rice in soup which I can't really remember the name of the food but there were dumplings in it as well too. When the food arrived, I was like..."WoW~! Such a big bowl..Could I finished it?"

The noodles was so much but yet I still forced myself to finish it so that it won't waste because Mum looked so sick that she can hardly eat. Since mum was sick, we have to cancel all our programme for today. So, after our dinner we went back to our hotel and had a good rest. But then, sis said she wanna go to Guardian to buy something. So, we actually went out,leaving mum to rest and looked for Guardian shop. In Hong Kong, Guardian isn't named Guardian, instead it was named Mannings. Then after buying our things, on our way back, we saw a dessert shop and the desserts there attracted me. So, I bought the black glutinous rice with glutinous balls for 22HK dollar a BIG cup. Then we went back to our hotel. Mum still not yet sleep. She took panadols after her dinner earlier actually.We thought she had slept but she has yet to sleep. So, sis switched on the TV and we pressed the remote till we saw a HK drama.It was a new drama and very nice.It was shown on Astro on Demand now if I'm not mistaken because it was a HK channel,TVB. We watched the drama while I ate my dessert.It was so so so delicious that sis also liked it that she wants to buy again.As we were watching the drama, sis discussed with me about our plan for tomorrow.After the drama finished,we terus slept till the next morning.

*Oh yeah,btw, in Hong Kong, it's only 6pm but the sky was so dark as if it was like 8pm in Msia.Lol.*



21/01/2010---Thursday

I was awake in 3am in the morning. I had a bad dream. It was so scary. I'm not sure why am I dreaming about terrorists all of sudden. I can still remember how the victim,a guy related his story about how he was being torchered by the terrorists. He then showed his bandage on his left eye and it was as if his whole left eye almost dropped off. I was so terrified that I woke up,panting and sweated all over though our room was so cold. Then I tried to comfort myself and tried to get myself back to sleep. Then, all of us woke up at 6.30am. I first went to shower.Hehe.Again I used the bath salt while shower. I remembered my dream while shower and it spooks my spine up. But I tried to shook it off,trying to not to worry so much. Continue to shower then wear nice,getting myself ready to start our journey, our self-tour. After all of us got ready,we went down for breakfast. Actually,there''s a famous restaurant just opposite our hotel but we did not noticed it yesterday night. Haha. So, our breakfast was in Yuen Kee Restaurant which is just opposite Kimberly hotel. The food there was nice and delicious too.You can actually expect many tourists coming to this restaurant as well.:) The wan tan mee in Hong Kong is the best. It was really delicious. I love the shrimp dumplings:) Yummy yummy. The shrimps are fresh and delicious. Sigh. But it comes with a big bowl. I can tell you eating in Hong Kong can actually let you endure hunger. Just eating a bowl of noodles in the morning, you can endure till night. Haha. I mean for a small eater like me lar...Then we went to Kowloon Park first by following the routes provided by the map. It was my first time studying a map. So, my first time using it was really difficult.Because it was my sister holding the map, so I find it quite hard to learn and help her because she also don't know Hong Kong. So, all the way we just go using the map. I have to endure it when my sis said I'm not independent. I actually wanted to be independent,but does my father allow me to? I don't even get to go out, how can I learn it? I'm also trying my best to be independent. All my expenses and books, I used my own money. This already proved that I'm quite independent although I'm not fully independent. Teach me and I'll learn it. As we reached Kowloon Park, we took photos and enjoyed the sceneries there. The flowers in Hong Kong are so so so beautiful. I love the flowers that I wanted to bring them back.Haha.But it's impossible. Msia weather and HK weather are so much different. After that, we used the MTR to bring us to Wong Tai Sin temple. The nearest MTR station was actually Tsim Tsa Shui MTR station,but like I've said it was our first time, we used the Jordan MTR station which is not quite far actually. Through this trip, I've learnt a lot about the roads in Hong Kong, especially the ones in Kowloon and Tsim Tsa Shui. I've learnt the names of many roads like Kimberly Road where our hotel located at,Granville Road,Cameron Road,Carnavon Road,Mody Road,Salisbury Road and so on..And also from using the the MTR station,I've also learnt alot like how to use the MTR services, where to enter, where to go out, when to stop and so on...I've also know a few places where they would stop like Yau Ma Tei, Shek Kip Mei, and so on.There are also different lines you have to follow where you want to get to other places.And also one thing I've noticed in Hong Kong,when we are using the escalator, we must keep to the right so that there is one lane for the people to walk.It's systematic, isn't it? We then headed Jordan station and look for the sign to go to Wong Tai Sin.So, from Jordan station, we used the MTR to Yau Ma Tei station and change to MTR Kwun Tong line where we exchange railway line to go to Wong Tai Sin. As we reached Wong Tai Sin, OMG the "po po=granny" there are so scary.First it's only 2 po po surrounded us to buy the joss sticks and burning papers. So,me and sis buy and gave them about 70HK dollar for what we bought. Suddenly a huge bunch of ah po's come to us and forcing us to buy this and tht,the things which is for praying.We are quite short of money,mum asked us not to buy anymore and give the ah po back.The ah po terus beat mum's hand and said something like it's not good to treat ah po like that.God will punish and bla bla bla..We terus dumbfounded but we just buy and it terus costs us overall 90HK dollar. So, we quickly stopped buying and run away from the bunch of grannies.Sigh.We reached Wong Tai Sin temple but the things we bought from the grannies can't be brought into the temple.We have to leave all the stuff except that we can only bring the joss sticks for praying. God knows how my tears welled up my eyes when the smoke of the joss sticks got into my eyes.It was so suffering that I could hardly open my eyes.And the temple was so packed with people that I was always ended up sandwiched by strangers while praying. Sigh. Then after praying, we went to tour around the temple. The temple was big and beautiful.Then we went and took a few photos there. After Wong Tai Sin temple, we went to the Snoopy World which is located at 3/F Platform, Phase 1,New Town Plaza,
Shatin, Hong Kong . We took many pictures of the snoopy and there was one photo where I hugged the character statue also took photo at the psychiatric doc statue there.haha.Funny lar.Oh yeah.I've forgot to tell you something which is really important in Hong Kong,which is the octopus card.It was like your life card.Without it, you can't get to anywhere you want. However you can actually buy the card at any MTR station. After Snoopy World we headed for lunch in New Town Plaza.Again the rice I ordered is of a big plate. If I'm not mistaken, I was too full that I did not finished the rice.But I ate all the dishes.Lol. Then,we shopped around New Town Plaza where I went into a DVD shop. There I bought HIM. Haha. I saw the SS501 album. There are actually a varieties.But I only bought one, which costed me 119HK dollar. Besides, I've also bought Boys Over Flowers the Japanese version .I can't remember the price but sis bought another 2 DVD plus mine,all costed 55HK dollar. Then, I saw the Boys Before Flowers soundtrack as well as the F4 special edition. I've only bought F4 special edition for 119HK dollar. The BBF ost costed 199HK dollar.Sob.I should've buy it without thinking bout money.I'm sorry. After that, we went back to our hotel for a rest.After bathing and rest,about 6sth in the evening, we went out to go to Peak Tram. We used the MTR and walk all the way to the Peak Tram using maps.Yes,in Hong Kong, you can always use the public transport and MTRs.There's no need of driving using cars in Hong Kong.The MTRs and your legs are just more than enough. Going to the Peak Tram is nice.We have to buy the ticket and there will be a small train which will bring us to the the peak up there where you can actually see the night view of the Hong Kong. It was very high.The scenery there was so beautiful at night. But it's rather hard to catch the picture of the whole Hong Kong view at night using my lousy hp. Sis's camera could hardly take the night view as well.To get a nice shot,you would need a better camera.I saw the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in that place.But,sigh,sis said maybe need money.So, I just can look at people taking photos with the "Bruce Lee" .How I wish can enter there..Sob sob sob.After that,we walk around The Peak.After that,we headed to Mongkok for dinner. Hahaha. We went to the Master of Dim Sum restaurant to try Hong Kong dim sums. No doubt, Hong Kong's dim sums are really delicious,making you wanted for more. But they are really expensive.I love the fry radish flip pastry and the shrimp dim sum. Oh yeah, I just learnt that eating dim sums, esp those with soups in it, there's a technique. When I first ate the shrimp dim sum, all the soups spilled down my plate.My sis said from the way I eat, people would have know that I've never ate dim sum before.You must actually suck the soup frm the top then only you eat the fillings. Haha. If I'm not mistaken, we ordered 3 dim sum, 1 cold drunken chicken,fried rice and 2 more dishes,it costed about 300+++ HK dollar. Expensive isnt it? After dinner, we went to Ladies Market. There are a lot of stuff being sold. I'm so in love with the winter clothes and knitted clothes sold there. But I can't buy the whole market with me.Sigh.But I bought one knitted dress for 140HK dollar.Oops I've forgotten to bargain.Haha.Nevermind.After that, I've bought 2 skirts and a jacket for 100HK dollar. Cheap ler? Haha. I've also bought 2 dolls for 80HK dollar. At first, I asked the price for a doll. The woman told me 48HK dollar.Wow,so expensive I thought to myself. Then I bargained with her for 40HK dollar,she told me 45HKdollar. So tiring, so I asked how much she would offer if I buy two? She then finally gave me 80HK dollar.So,I bought it.Haha. So many lovely clothes there. Next time if I got money, for sure I'd shop in Hong Kong for clothes. It was like a paradise for a big spender like me.Lol. Oh yeah.I've forgot to tell you bout one funny incident while I'm on my way to MTR station this evening. I was mistaken by a cute,good looking guy as a Hong Kong resident. Lol.Do I look like any of them? Hehe. My mum laughed at me and him. Okay. It was like that. Actually, by evening,I've already known how to get to Tsim Tsa Shui station as we had came across there before. Maybe its because I was walking without using map and my dressing, while on the other hand my sis holding a map with her bagpack hanging behind her made her looked like a tourist.Hehe.That guy gave me a card(which when the shops are doing promotion or sth),and I took it and was about to walk away.The guy stopped me.I was shocked that I looked at him with an innocent look. But that guy flashed a friendly smile to me and asked me to turn the back of the card and scratch the thing so that I would win something. I turned around and asked sis if do I need to. Sis asked me to tell him that we are rushing to somewhere else. Haha. I guess that time only the guy realised that I was a tourist too. He then smiled sincerely to me and apologised. That time, when I read the card I only realised the contest was restricted to only Hong Kong residents. So, all the way returning to my hotel room, I can't help stop laughing. It was just so funny. But that guy was so cute especially his innocent face when he realised I'm a tourist. Kekeke. My mum then teased me that that guy mayb like me since he only asked me but not my sis and her. I was like...sweat.It was not a matter of liking me, but misunderstanding.Lol.So,after shopping, we then went back to hotel and sleep.

Cont-My Trip

18/01/2010---Monday
Hm...Early in the morning,I woke at 7am.So early huh? I've never woke up that early at home. Haha. Anyway, it's the 2nd day in Spore. Spore is a wonderful country. It's beautiful and safe. You can actually walk alone on your own even at night. Today Un. Daniel has to go for work. So, we actually stayed at aunt's house till about 11 am.Before that, we were eating breakfast. Aunt Katherine is a good cook. She really supplied us with food very well. That's why I'm gaining weight and become fatter.But it's not solely the reasons lar.*Trying not to put all the blame on aunt* Anyway,it's an enjoyable trip. Aunt Katherine brought me and mum to the park around her area in Pasir Ris to see the mud-skipper at about 11.30am. We walked halfway. The park is really big and beautiful.I love the scenery,the cleanliness, and the flowers in the park.It was like walking in the garden of a palace.*Forgive me for being over kua cheong* The smell of the sea, the sound of the breeze,the song of the wind which comes upon your face,it's all so so comforting and calm.But, awhile after that, it started drizzling. Oh, how I hated it but what can I do? Sing the song "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day"? and expect it to stop immediately at once as if there's miracle? We actually thought that it was a mild rain, so we got ourselves into the toilets as shelter.But hey,the toilets there are clean ler..Haha..So,after a while, the rain did stopped. We walked further down, and I catch some pictures using my lousy phone as I walked. Halfway,aunt said there are a couple in the resthouse (which is quite far away from our place of view,but still can see what they are doing exactly) doing liveshow. Haha.Know what I meant? Means the thing a girl and a boy would do. Lol. C'mon. I was thinking that time can't they just get themselves a room to do that? What a shame! But aunt said people here are quite open. You can actually see people kissing in public and so on. She then relate to us that she once saw a guy and a girl doing that thing at late night in a bus stop when raining. Lol. REal disgust. Anyway,as we walk further into the park, we can't see any mud skippers.I'm not sure if is it because of the rain.Then, the rain comes again. Sigh. I was thinking if God were playing a trick on us? Lol.I'm speechless. Rain becomes heavy and we can't go there any further so we ran and find shelter. We waited there for about half an hour and then the rain stopped. But mum and aunt don't want to continue so we have to walk back. Aunt Katherine asked if we wanna go anywhere else,or else they will go back. I quickly said that I wanna have a hair cut. AuntKat said she'd bring me to a shop which cuts hair at a cheap price ($3.80). That time I was thinking,"OMG, she sure bring me to a lousy shop.Where on earth got such a good price? Maybe got but sure no good hairstylists de lo..." But when we reached the shop,I immediately got shocked. The shop named Snips Avenue, has a lot of customers and all the hairstylists are so young and pretty and handsome and cute.Hehe.That time I was thinking, I wouldn't get hurt if I tried,right? Haha. A pretty lass came out and greets us and asked us what we wanted. So, I said that I wanna cut and dye my hair.She then suggested me alot of their packages they offer lo.Initially I was thinking I'm having only $120,so I can't spend much! I told her I wanted the $45 package. So,mum and aunt came in with us. Mum suddenly wants a haircut too since it was cheap. But the lady offer them a package which includes hair treatment+hair cut for only $15.80. Mum and aunt then accepted it and do lo. Me on the other hand, was serve by a cute guy. Initially he asked where did I came from...We then chatted a lil,because I was too passive and soft-sounded. Oh c'mon! To strangers, I'm for sure passive and soft-sounded lar..Cause I didn't know what I should talk and some more I also don't really know him. He told me he was from Pantai Remis and worked there for bout 2-3 months.Mum asked him to help me find a job because I was desperate for a job. Immediately I glanced at mum,dumbfounded. I was like..."Mum,are u crazy?We don't know this guy. and who are we for him to help a stranger like me?" Sigh. I didn't know what to say with her. Kek si wa nia. But the guy said that he will try and asked me if I wanna work as what. Lol.But that guy,initially I think he's cute and cool, but later on, after knowing him little by little, I don't think he's cute anymore lo.Don't know why.Maybe lost interests in guys? Nolar.I don't know why.But maybe I know why but then I don't know how to explain. So,while he was doing with my hair(highlighting), after that he washed my hair. Actually some part of him, I could feel his warmness and tenderness but I know that I won't like him.Weird huh? After washing,he applied some spa treatment to my hair.Then gently massage my head. I felt so comfortable that I almost fall asleep.Lol.Terukla me.If fall asleep there really sia sui nia.Haha.Then, he blowdry my hair and cut my hair with full attention (ahem...the attention is towards my hair,not me k!). He's a good hairstylist and I'm satisfied with my current hair cut and colour.Perhaps the next time I wanna have a haircut, I might consider going till Spore to cut my hair since I cant find a good hairstylist in Tpg at all. Sigh. After that, he gave me his card and number.We exchanged numbers lo.But bout the finding job thingie, I guess he say nia de lar...Where on earth people so good go find a job to someone he don't even know?Sigh,After our haircut,it's been about 5pm.Guess that my haircut is the longest cause we actually came there about 3pm..After haircut,we went for dinner with Un. Daniel. He brought us to the food court near his place.The foodies there superb delicious.Yum Yum.I like the 'hor fun' and the noodles in which the soup got milk wan...So yummy!!!!! Missing the food now...Haha.Btw, I'm so happy that I've finally got 2 boots which is given away by my biao jie. My aunt and biao jie are so lucky. Uncle Daniel wold give them money always for them to buy clothes and wadever they want.So jealous lar me.That's why Sherine jie jie(my biao jie) got alot of clothes and shoes she bought, wore for once and don't want d...or either bought d but didn't wear before but dumped them.I was like...wah...if all don't want jiu give me ma good lo..Haha..so greedy.Anyway, she also gave me a dress which she just wear for once.I just took 2 boots and a dress nia lo.Can't be too greedy lar.Not so good.After dinner,jiu chat awhile and slept jor lo...

19/01/2010---Tuesday
As we're going to depart for Hong Kong tomorrow, Uncle Daniel doesn't want us to walk too much and make ourselves felt so tired. So, I stayed at home playing with Aunt 's computer. Sob. Can't online. So, I played the Restaurant game where I have to serve people with food.Haha. After bored, I go sleep awhile lo because I have nothing to do. Then,around 2pm, Aunt Kat brought us to Sing plaza as I wanted to go Daiso (the $2 shop) to get some things..Then shop around Sing plaza lo...About 5pm, Uncle Daniel waited for us at This Fashion shop to pick us up to go Chinatown. Actually we are going there to change our money to HK dollars. Uncle Daniel said that we will lose money if we're using RM because we have to exchange frm MYR to Sing dollar to HK dollar.So,he asked if we wanted to change to how much HK dollar.I said I wanted 1000HK dollar and mum wants 1000HK dollar too.But don't know why and how,I think we calculated it to be about $400.Uncle Daniel has been really patient to bring me from one shop to another so that I can get the best exchange rates.So, the rate we finally decided to go to is 5.55.With $400 , we got in return 2220HK dollar.So I kept the money. After that we then got our dinner around Chinatown area.There's a temple there which I don't have a chance to go but it's really beautiful. Initially I thought the building was some kind of ancient palace or what that I go and took pictures of it while waiting for the chicken rice.Guess that from my act,people for sure knew that I'm a tourist.But hey, I like Spore! I'm not afraid to admit it.The chicken rice was super delicious and yummy yummy.The soup is also nice.Everything was big and nice.I mean the bowl of rice(which made me felt so damn full..sigh),the bowl of soup and the plate of chicken and the tauge..So delicious! I can still remember the taste of it.HAha.After that we went to shop around Chinatown. Oh yea,Un. Daniel also brought us to a second hand shop where the things there are so new(though most are old/used but still looks new) and the things there are cheap.I guess next time I wanna cum there again.Hopefully can get myself some camera or electronic devices of my interests..After that, we go back home and waited for jie jie because she's going to stay over night as our flight to HK is tomorrow.So,we actually slept quite early today after packing our luggage.

YuhOo~!!! I'm back to ...TAIPING!!!!!
Sigh...I know it's a tough job and time for me as I have to recall every single bits of my memory when I'm not in Malaysia. Shall we start the "journey" now?

16/01/2010---Saturday
Woke up at about 6.30 in the morning. Done my last minute luggage check up and cooked fried rice for my dad and brothers. Then lied on the bed and flirt with my bed again, saying how much I would "miss" it when I'm away for 10days. Haha. I just love my bed. About 8.35am, I got up and bath as long as I could. Got myself ready after that. Was too lazy to have a breakfast (I lied to mum that I ate just because I'm lazy to eat...SSshhh...Don't tell mum:))
Dad sent us to the bus station at bout 9.35am as our bus comes at 10.20am. In the car also let him ngam ngam cham cham..Really beh tahan..Sigh...
So,10.20am the bus came and we put in our luggage and board into the bus. Then,reached Yong Peng at about 6.30+pm for 20minutes mealtime. I just bought a waffle biscuit which is rm1.50 for one piece and it's really delicious! Then bout 8pm we reached the Malaysia Kastam which is really really big. It's my first time going to a foreign place on my own(though with mum,she doesn't know anything either and just rely everything on me.Swt. But jie got told me before to just follow the crowd). So,as soon as the bus driver asked us to get down to cop our passport,we quickly went down and follow the crowd. Of course, I'm quite lucky enough to be able to recognise some of the passengers in my bus where I told myself at least I would know who I should follow in case I'm lost. I noticed one of the passenger in my bus was from the Republic of India. He was really friendly and helpful. Thanks to him for guiding us when me and mum don't know where to go after copping the passport. After that we went back to our bus. Then the bus brought us to Woodlands,Spore at about 8.25pm. That time upon reaching,the driver asked us to faster get our luggage and passports as we have to do the same the procedures again but this time with our luggage lo. We then enter Woodlands and get our passport done and our luggage scanned. After that we waited for sis and her bf. Actually there's nothing much to say bout this saturday trip because it's more to the arrival to singapore. After that jie brought us to Aunt Katherine's place which is at block 232,Pasir Ris, Dr 4. We're so damn tired that when we reached aunt's house we just bath and chatted awhile then zZzz....~Haha.

17/01/2010---Sunday
Woke up really early at bout 7am. It doesn't seems like the normal Sherlyn who slept like a pig.Haha. Aunt Katherine made bread toast for breakfast. Hey, if I'm not mistaken I guess that on the 2nd day aunt katherine taught me how to make pancake, mua chi and the fillings for the bread toast. There's no exact recipe but she was really awesome. Everything, the ingredients she just agak agak only. No measurings required. She kept saying that "Don't ask me for recipe.I don't have a recipe. You just have to see me how to do then you'll be able to learn it".
Haha. Yeah. I saw how she done, everything was fast and simple. Pancake? Ingredients are just butter(melted), some sugar,s.r.flour,milk...just mix them and pan-fry it. Mua chi? Sorry can't really remember. I just remember flour and water and some sugar. will write it here again if i remember.lol. After that Uncle Daniel brought us to flat houses where he pick up his kai chai to go out with us. We went to Sing Plaza and ate. Wah...I really love Spore ler...Haha..Daiso, which is a shop in Sing Plaza sells things for only 2dollar Sing...Yes, everything in the shop is only 2 dollar. After Sing Plaza, we went Sentosa. God, I love this place! If anyone going Spore without going Sentosa, it's not worth it definitely! This place was so so so awesome! First we enjoy ourselves with the bird show where the parrots and its trainers would entertain us...Those birds are really intelligent. It's really an eye-opener. All along I only saw parrots talk. But now I know parrots can sing, can play cards, can do stunts, can make a guess and does magic tricks. They are intelligent, aren't they? I guess all these really need pretty much trainings...Then we went to the Underwater world where we can see all the huge sea creatures...OMG OMG...I touched stingray. The first time I was too scared to touch because I'm afraid of fishes and sea creatures. There are a place where we can see and touch the stingray. Un. Dan's kai cai,Ryan initially was cold towards me.Maybe because I was a total stranger to him. But surprisingly, after awhile he did talk to me and asked me if I wanted to go down there to see the turtles with him. I just said okay and follow him. He's really a bright and brilliant kid. After that we then go and explore the underwater world together with uncle dan,aunt kat and mum. I realised God-made creatures are so beautiful. The jellyfishes are so beautiful. They can change colour every moment now and then. The the dragon seahorses and the leaf seahorses...That time I was like ...Wow...I've never seen anything like that before with my eyes. We see alot of sea creatures. All so beautiful. After that we went inside and above us are all the super humangous sea creatures..Giant stingray,sharks,and so on...Some fishes I don't even know what are they but they are really bigger than I am. Guess that I could even enter their stomach.Haha.After that we went for the dolphin & fur seal show. I've always loved dolphins since young.Haha.The dolphins did some stuns.They are so cute and brilliant.They can do whatever their trainer asked them to do,like getting the hula hoops,played the ball,wave to the audiences with their tails and so on...The fur seal are also so cute.Especially when after they did a stun,they used the feet indicating us to clap for them.Arh...so cute~!!! They catch balls,did some yoga, walking on two legs showing that their front legs are strong...They're really cute animals..After that I go buy the key chain for 10 Singapore Dollar in the sourvenier shop. Then we go walk and took pictures around Sentosa.Oh yeah, Spore food are really delicious! I love Spore ais kacang. I've never ate this type of ais kacang before. Definitely better than those in Taiping! We are almost at Sentosa the whole day.After Sentosa, we went for dinner and back to aunt's place.

Lol...I'm tired.Guess that I would cont writing my other day trip tomorrow.:)

Pre-Travel Nervousity

LOL>...4 days more I'll be going Spore...Staying there for bout 3-4days before flying to Hong Kong...Previously I was over-worried...Okay.My confession is it was because of money problem...Maklumlah economic recession..LOL...
But now,I'm so over-excited. Maybe I siao siao d...or maybe I've understand that "money comes, money goes"...I don't know. But no doubts, I'm still worried bout my finance. I'm scared that my bank dried up...So I'd have to keep a good budget...
I'm hoping that HK clothes and dresses will be cheap...I've just came across an online fashion wholesale of Causeway Mall...The prices are really delighting and entertaining..It's really cheaper than Msian clothes and dresses...Prices range from 8HKD - 300HKD...But I don't know if I'd be able to find the mall...I was hoping to go to either the Temple Street or Ladies' Market before going Causeway Bay...So that I could get some clothes which are extra cheaper than those I saw online...
So..i guess I'm gonna shop till drop.lol.Perhaps...maybe most of my clothings for the CNY would be buying from Hong Kong...Hope to get things cheaper there..

My worries

the starting of 2010 wasn't really good for me after all.
it's just the beginning of the year and i 've already been "declared bankruptcy".and im having so much headaches to think bout my future.
after all it's just one matter which matters most.
i need money.
yes.
money is wad i need to grab a better future of mine.
i mean... a better quality of education.
where shud i go?
shud i go or stay?
I just hope to have an accompany with me if I were to go Aust.
Sigh
But I don't felt like leaving my hometown that fast.
How should I decide?
I think I would let time to decide it for me.
But money.
Your also another problem to me.
I love you so much because of uncountable reasons.
How can I get nearer to "you"?
Sigh.Sigh.Sigh.
Your really driving me crazy.
Okay."You" did it!
I'm bankrupt for now.
So your happy?
Like what others said,losing "you",I'll earn "you" back.
I'm hoping to find a job which can pay me high in Spore as soon as possible.
To be honest, I guess that I don't suit for my current job.
I'm such a slow learner.
I guess that the people there also beh tahan with me.
Okay,let it be. I came there to work,not anything else,i thought to myself.
But I can't lied to myself. I'm really not so happy working there. People there seems like talking among themselves. No one talking to me. [except serena lo...]
But I'm really grateful the auntie's daughter was quite friendly.Yesterday Serena went back early, and I did some mistake in the wrapping stuff and I don't know how to deal with it. Since the others was doing their own work, I got no one else to ask and time is running out. So, I just use all my guts to ask auntie's daughter.Luckily she told me it was okay and I can use the remainder to close it up and smiled at me.
I really felt so thankful to me. I was so scared to ask the others 'cause they seemed so fierce.Later kena marah pulak jiu cham..:(
But now, I have to learn fron them.
Sigh.
I know it was tiring for a non-artistic, slow beginner like me. I know I'm not smart like them.
I'm not sure if is it was because dad kept saying my IQ low thats why I felt like now my IQ seems to be lower than 10 or 50 at least?
Sigh.
Can anyone tell me how can I upgrade my IQ level? Please enlighten me.

2010 Resolutions

I'm going 20 soon.
Time passed really fast,huh?
I remembered when I was young, I was hoping that I can be a grown up soon. And ta-daah! Just a wink of an eye and right now,I'm standing here as a grown-up girl, to be specific, an adult! And you know what? My wish right now was, "Hey,clock! Stop ticking and please let the time froze. I wanna age no more!"
Crazy,huh? I know it was impossible. Ever single seconds I heard the clock sounds "Tick-tock, tick-tock", it really got my nerves.
Sigh. To be honest, I was scared to be an adult because I'm a coward.
I'm so scared to face the world, the reality, and the challenges which would come upon me.
I know i'd chickened-out everytime I was facing problem.
Sigh.
And here I am.Thinking of my new year of 2010 resolution.
Hm...What's my plan and wishes for this year?
My another problem was money problem.
I know after HK + Spore trip, all my money in my bank is gonna used up and 'dry'.
What to do? This problem really gets on my nerves. I've been thinking all the time and it's really really gonna drove me crazy. Guess that one day soon my friends would be seeing me in a newspaper,headtitle " A 20 year old lady jailed for trying to rob a bank" or ended up seeing me in Hospital Bahagia.
Haha. Just joking lar. I'm still conscious,knowing what I'm doing.
Aiyo. I'm started getting headaches because of these problem.
How good if I was born-riched?
And also, my future. I still not sure which or when I wanted to go uni.But I think I'd be going Monash.But then, money is also a problem. If I were to go australia straight away,I think I have nth else to worry except to buy a laptop.But I'll miss my friends. And I don't have friends there.I'm so dead tiring to decide.
But if I'm staying here, I would face financial problem. Tht's why I really don't know how to decide. What should I do?
Therefore,my 2010 wishes and plans are:

1)Hope I'll get more and more money by finding a job which can earn me much so that I won't be worrying now.
2)Hope that I'll get more friends and my friendship bonds with my HL and SMC friends stayed strong.
3)I wanna slim down.Ok,this might be a little tough for me as I'm a big-eater.LOL.
4)I wanna have more money so that I can buy more new clothes and dresses.HeH3.
5)I wanna buy my Boys Before Flowers DVD and OST.Ok.This is again a money problem.
6)I hope that I won't involve myself in a love-relationship again no matter how much I would love that person.
7) I hope my investment(stock market) would rise at least by 10cent.If rise more than 10 cent I lagi happy.lol
8,9,10......100) I hope I got more more more money money money.Coz it's really driving me crazy.

Today is Sunday,date: 03/01/2010
My heart suddenly felt so empty.
Maybe it was due to boredness.
I felt like going out and have fun with my bunch of friends and be "gila-gila" a bit.
I think my life was so happy when I'm hanging out with friends, talking nonsense, and be "gila-gila", acting like we're still children.
Haha.
Tomorrow I'm starting work.
I'm happy because I don't have to stay at home dying of boredom.
But I'm so missing the Korean Drama Boys Before Flower.
I wanted to buy it.
But I'm going HK in a few days' time.
And my budget is running so low.
I'm so sad.
I wanna buy something for my friends. [Only for my best friends lar]
I'm not sure either how much I need to spend there.
I heard that the stuff there are very expensive.
I'm hoping that my budget would be enough to buy things for them.
Hm...guess that right now I have to earn, earn and earn.
But how? I'm not doing two part time jobs.
How good if the payment was like in Australia?
Just picking apples can actually earn me about 1500+ australian dolla/mnth.
Okay.
I know I'm dreaming now.
There's no way I'm allowed to go somewhere so far yet now.
Sigh.Sigh.Sigh.
I started missing Ji Ho and Yi Jung. I wanna buy the DVD.
I'm so determined to.
And after my trip back,I'm gonna buy clothes at The Store.
Funny huh?
I've never thought of myself ever buying clothes at there.
But, I kinda felt that I'm becoming kinda...materialistic?
I know I don't earn much yet.
But shopping is also a way for me to release stress.(well,maybe it was because he made me like that after the break.Okay.I'm gonna tell myself it's not because of him!It's because I want to change to a better me.But like this am I kinda spoiling myself?)
Well.I don't know.Okay.I don't care it either.
But don't worry.I'm for sure am still able to budget things.I'm not like the stupid guys in my house.
Now,I just want money,money, money.
Money allows me to buy everything I want. It lets me to do what I want (of course not crime.I'm a civilised person ok?)
By the way, today I went jog around the Lake Garden with my bro. After jog, he brought me to eat at a HK DimSum restaurant near the lake. I just ate some because it was my bro treating and I don't dare to call so much. But the dimsum there quite nice though it was a small restaurant.but it was also kinda expensive. I just took egg tart,wantan,pau,siiu mai and one of the dim sum there(i dunno the name) and it costed rm 13.30.lol.
Hey Serena and Aggie ,if you see this blog, we find a day to eat there okay? Ask tee xin,jenni and others too ok?

Hana Yori Dango a.k.a Boys Over Flowers...This drama really made me crazy..I'm so so crazy over these two guys, Yung Ji Hoo ( Kim Hyun Joon ) and So Yi Jung ( Kim Bum )...I like Ji Hoo because of his character,his personality and his warmth...He's not only good looking but he's really caring and understanding...I just love his the way he is...So Yi Jung,though he's a playboy, but I think he's a guy who really gave me such a special feeling. I don't know how to explain. But it's really something. And I'm not so sure how to say it. There's no doubt he's damn so good looking. But I'm sure it's not his good look which attracts me. I just don't know how to say. I'm so happy I've finally managed to download all the ost...Their instruments(violin,guitar,saxophone) the songs really gave me comfort...releases my tension when I'm feeling so tensed. But, I'm so crazy over it now. I really wanna buy the dvd.But...my financial problems stopped me. Sometimes I'm really angered with myself. Why must I bornt in this family where my dad wouldn't even care bout my future? sumone who never even think for her daughter's future? I'm really envied others where they can easily get money just by asking their parents...But I have no one to turn to when I'm facing it. Not even when I'm facing problem,I have someone to turn to. I really wish that I could always have someone I could really trust where I can share my secrets with and my secrets will be kept safely with him/her...But still, it's hard to find. I realised this world in order to survive, there are many things can't be really told...Thanks for the music im listening to it right now...It really gave me much comfort...My heart suddenly felt much lighter after hearing it...Closing my eyes while listening to it,it was something really peaceful...Good nite...
