KL trip with relatives

The last time i went to KL was when i was studying there.So,last Saturday,cousin asked sis and me to accompany her down.We were uncertain at first cos had actually planned to go back to Lunas.But then,since we had not been there for so long..decided to go.

We left Penang after my lecture which was around 1pm and reached there around 5.30pm.We stopped twice along the way.


Once we reached KL,the first stop was at Ikea.Shopped and shopped until it was nearly 8.30pm before we left.It was fun,going round and choosing stuff for my cousin.She bought A LOT of stuff until we were so scared that they won't be able to fit into her car.Luckily after slowly arranging,everything was fitted into the car and we were off to find a place for dinner.Had Burger King cos it was near the place we were going to stay (my another cousin's house).The burger was nice but the fries were lousy (still can't beat the fries from McD in AS).Then it was off to my cousin's house to rest.

Next morning,had breakfast at home,quickly got ready and off to 1utama.It was like a race to shop cos there was sales everywhere and we had a fixed period of time to shop (didn't want to reach Penang late).In this shop,try try,buy,out,in another shop,try try,buy,out..that's what we did.So fun to shop (really an effective way to release stress but also make a big hole in the pocket).At 2.30pm,we had our lunch at some Thai place (the food was nice but i couldn't enjoy it cos my tummy was not really well.sigh..) then off to shop again before heading back to Penang.We reached around 9pm and were all so tired.

This is how much we bought..there are a few more things in front and some in another car cos had extra passenger.If not,all the things would have fitted into one car.

Polishing

Only two students showed up for dance class today..the uncle (aka my partner) and me.So,my $$ is worth cos i had the sir to teach ME,ME,ME...

Because i MIGHT be going for the dinner and dance,so the uncle asked the sir (without my knowledge) to teach us a few patterns so that we can dance on that night.The steps were not that okay,just getting the right posture and hip work was TOUGH.I had to stand straight,pull my body up (as though i am a puppet and there is a string attached to my head..had to PULL that string up).The sir did a lot of pushing and pulling to ensure i get it and i told him i think i am going to break my back if he does it a little more.That was really difficult.Then,the hip work.We had to go the side walk and 'kukaracha' (that's how it is pronounce but i am not sure if that is how it is being spelled).I always thought that turning the hip in the figure 8 was just like how we write it on a piece of paper,2 dimension.But,the sir said..it has FOUR DIMENSION.How can there be 4 dimension?So,he explained and i got it in theory.Doing it...still need a lot of practice.

So...these are the things i learnt today.I need to remember and keep doing it so that i will be ready for the party if i do go.

Though yesterday and today are about dancing but the fun i get out of them is different.That's why i like them both and don't mind paying.Sacrificing new clothes for this..but it's worth it =)

Today's class

Today's dancing class was F-U-N!

I can now dance the square rhumba,but that is only with good leading.And..i can dance the cha cha and the cuban rhumba..

What is so fun tonight is that i learnt the SALSA.I like it a lot and hoping to learn more steps and get the feel of it.Then only the dance will look nice..right?

Do you all think i should go for the dinner and dance on the 20th of August?

Photos from my birthday

Here are some photos that i took during the dinner..The last dish is missing cos i was busy eating crab and also on the phone.


The birthday cake that my sis made.She is a pro now,any orders?

Some of the gifts i received =)

Birthday =)

This year's birthday was F-U-N..from the start of 25th until the end..00.00am-11.59pm.

At the VERY start of my day,i was with Ning,hanging out at Gemilang burger and then to KFC until 2.30am.It was something i rarely do so you can imagine how excited i was to be out with her till so late.And she was so cute..looking at her hp and waiting till 00.00am sharp to wish me.

Then,came home and returned a friend's call.Because i had free call for the day,we were talking until 3.30am.Did a lot of catching up...

After that..i was totally knocked out because that morning i travelled to Penang to sit for my exam and then came back after that.So,all the walking,chasing after the ferry and perah-ing the brain...was SO TIRED.

Morning..woke up early as i promised the an uncle that i will arrange dance practice.Was at A.Molly's house at 11am until 12.30pm to dance..taught them and also learnt a few things from the uncle.He is good for someone his age.

Dancing was really exhausting that after lunch,i was off to dreamland.Was enjoying my sleep until mum woke me up to go shopping.I was so reluctant but i did go in the end.Mum bought a dress for me.. =) Thank you!

At night..had 8-coursed dinner.Food was awesome,really delicious..Ate till i was so FULL.Thanks,Pa and thanks,Mi for the dinner.

My birthday cake was made by my sis..(Thanks,sis.I will try my best to bake a NICE cake for you birthday)

To end my day..went out with A.Molly,sis and a friend to listen to songs and have drinks.

*Thank you to my family for arranging all this and for the presents,to U.David and A.Amelia for the and-pow,to A.Molly for the gift,to Alyssa for the lovely card,to Ning for hanging out with me and the treat,to the rest of my friends for all the birthday wishes whether it was on FB or call or sms..THANKS A LOT!!You all really made my day so SPECIAL.

~Will upload the photos later..Line is too slow now.

Siamese rhumba?

Today,i learnt a new dance..Siamese rhumba.I haven't heard of it ever in my life until just now.The dance is like.....rocking,have move front,back,front.There are 5 variations,symbolises the 5 petals on a flower.I learnt 3 but can only remember 2 cos i had to remember the steps for other dances (square rhumba and cha cha) as well.By the end of the lesson,i just 'pakai hentam' my steps.Don't know which is which and where to turn.When the sir changed to cha cha,i was still dancing the Siamese rhumba and he had a good laugh cos i must have looked so silly.It was another fun and interesting lesson... =D

~ Letting it go ~

If i didn't tell anyone,
it would not have felt this real..

What i think

Why be in pain and torture for the rest of your life when you can choose to be happy?

----------

It is the small,thoughtful action that is the most memorable.

----------

Appreciation is all it takes to make any hard work or effort or sacrifice worthwhile.

----------

If everyone doesn't make any mistake in life,why is there the need to learn?

----------

When you know something is bad for you,why still continue with it?

----------

Everyone deserves to live their life the way the want,not the way others think they should.

----------

When you know that the person is not the one for you but you still love him/her,let him/her go to find their happiness cos that is another way of showing your love.

Durian outing

Durian season!

My parents LOVE durian.They go durian hunting when they are free,find which stall sells the best durian and also the cheapest.

On Friday,they decided to go to one of their favourite stall to eat durians.Used to buy back and eat but then the trouble of throwing the rubbish away after eating.

This stall is located opposite 'Uncle John'.The man sells it under a big,shady tree.It is windy and nice there.

The durians there come is so many sizes..

Yum yum yum =)

And we went all prepared,water to wash hands and wet tissue.

Durians are known to be heaty.So,to reduce the heat,headed for the coconut stall not far way (Coconuts are known to be cooling.Good counter for the durians)

'Goreng pisang' and 'goreng cempedak'.Too irresistible..

The refreshing coconut water =D

Birthday at court

This year,i started to join mum's group for badminton.And recently,they decided to celebrate the birthdays of all the members.

So...i have my early birthday celebration today with two other people.There are suppose to be five of us but only three turned up.

A few of the people that joined in the 'makan'

Fried bihun and there is curry to go with it (forgot to take the photo)

Fruit cake made by one of the birthday girl

SImple but everyone enjoyed themselves.Good way to keep people together and get to know each other better..right?
