Home. =D

I've been home for a week..

and seriously.. there's no place like home..

I should say that this one week break came just in time..

and i have no idea why.. but it has been something that i've been looking forward to for a very long time..

and this one week has been great.. =)

uhmm.. besides the fact that all my plans of studying were totally neglected..

and all i did was spend time chilling with friends and family...

nothing beats having a nice meal with the whole family around..

gramps, mum and dad, han and i...

it is a complete picture..

and i've gotta say this.. everytime i'm home.. i feel like a princess..

gramps is exceptionally nice to me.. treating me to stuff that i love to eat..

dad too.. bringing us to the best place for the best food..

mum being her usual self.. shared everything with me..

i filled her in on uni life.. complaints.. anything at all..

and han.. it's really good to have him home..

i feel like a kid again.. somehow i always feel like a lil kid around him..

though he is the younger one.. and i have no idea why i can laugh over the stupidest things when i'm with him.. we can just laugh about anything at all..

and then there's friends... friends whom i've known for so many years..

whom everytime when we come together.. we can just have fun.. and enjoy each other's company..

and penang.. is always lovely.. the food especially.. haha..

so.. yup.. this break has been a very satisfying one.. =)

minus the cacat-ed study plan.. =p

it's SO GOOD to be home.. =D

2-week-update. =)

It's been a loooong time since i've been here huh? =)

Been busy.. with assignments, projects and FUN! =D

and i've been seriously sleep deprived for the past two weeks..

having not more than 5 hours of sleep every night beginning from the night before the CNS test..

owh well.. pictures ahead to help me narrate what i've been up to.

One night before the CNS CAL test, i was at kx's place.. i guess we sorta studied and ended up chit chatting, lying on her bed.. XD halfway through study-chatting, suddenly, kx reached into her blanket and pulled these two uhmm.. teddies out.. LOL.. and when i was wondering why.. she arranged them as seen in the picture and put my neurotransmitters notes before them.. XD anyway.. i'm glad that i did owhkay.. cause i was seriously freaking out that morning itself.. my facts were all jumbled up and the i dont even know what drug is for what... =.=

After cns, it was seriously PARTAY time!! =D

We first had a nice dinner to pamper ourselves at Pasta Zanmai. =)

a very very very satisfying meal. =D

Then.. it was a string of birthday celebrations.. beginning with wei ping's..

the weekend before CNS.. I hope we managed to surprise him.. =)

Next, after CNS, it was ah beh's turn.. with almost 40 of us including a special guest turning up at steven's corner to celebrate.. On the 19th night, we celebrated kp's birthday.. at a chinese restaurant.. and on the 22nd night.. david's at damansara village.. David's was meant to be a surprise... but then too bad la har.. the waiter's spoilt the surprise.. =(

And.. b107 went clubbing!! haha.. owhkay.. not the entire b107.. but still there were almost 40 of us.. and i was really glad to see everyone having fun and enjoying themselves.. =) for the first time, i actually thought that it was fun.. =) anyway.. happy birthday kx.. =D i know you've been planning and planning and planning this for SO LONG.. i hope you had fun.. hugz. <3

That weekend, i met up with yu xuan.. it has been a long time since the last time i saw him..

somehow.. i've always felt thankful to have him as a friend..

he was always there.. when i had trouble with math, he tutored me..

when i wanted to rant, he was there to listen..

and i was always remembered no matter where he is..

I have birthday gifts delivered to me from Hong Kong..

When he went to Europe as an exchange student..

I have postcards in my letterbox from Paris..

I have chocolates from Switzerland...

and... I have lotsa little little things from Europe as souvenirs...

I am truly blessed to have a friend like you.. thankew yu xuan.. =)

After that weekend.. it was all about the upcoming Merdeka Celebration in IMU which is an event in conjunction with the b107 Malaysian Studies Project..

Though i am not part of the Malaysian Studies class.. i am glad that i'm a part of this whole big thing.. I'm glad that i was given the opportunity to help Ling Wei and co for deco..

to help kx cook pasta and lum mee.. to be part of the marching team..

Though something went wrong somewhere during the marching routine.. i still thought it was great.. we've done better.. but that is sufficient to impress.. yes? =p and it was nerve wrecking to be the one responsible to raise the flag.. all eyes were on me.. it was a bit cacated.. lol.. but hey.. the last time i sang Negaraku and raised the flag was when i was 16.. so forgivable la har.. =p anyway.. it feels kind of weird to be wearing my scouts uniform again.. ah.. i miss my scouting days.. =) credits to Kean Ping for the unique idea for the opening ceremony.. and credits to the whole marching team for setting it up.. =)

The wonderful deco.. by Ling Wei and the deco team and everyone else who worked almost every night till the wee hours of the morning to make the atrium spectacular.. =D *round of applause* i seriously salute everyone of you for the effort you guys put in.. The fantastic twin towers made of cans.. ALUMINIUM CANS.. 1178 of them.. i'll never look at the twin towers the same way again.. for the patience.. for the effort.. i salute you guys.. =) the kolam.. done by anitha and people.. haha.. great job.. i did a bit of it.. my first time ever trying to do a kolam and.. it is haaaarddddd... especially when you need to fill the small small spaces between the letters.. =S and credits again to Ling Wei for the abstract logo.. =)

Some pictures to be shared.. =) Ling Wei looks different with a kebaya that day.. And great job to both the emcees, david and shamala.. =)

"Here in My Home" i really enjoyed the rapping part.. haha.. =) and for the other cultural dances.. i don't have pictures.. credits to ida and the dancers for all the hard work.. =)

My first time wearing a sari.. =) Thankew anitha for the sari.. and yes.. we are proud to be penangnites.. =D

I thought he would NEVER run out of energy.. LOL..

And a nice picture of B107.

And the Jai Ho video to mark the end of this event..

When b107 danced together for the very first time..

I felt togetherness. Hearts b107. <3

After being busy for so long.. i met up with lx and cs for some catching up.. and they pampered me with dessert and tea.. =) Thanks guys.. i'm looking forward to raya.. to see the rest of the gang and also to spend some time together.. =)

It has been two crazy weeks.. but it was worth it.. No better way to spend two whole weeks.. =)
