At the beginning of this semester..i SAID i will NOT study last minute anymore,right?
Well...what i said i will NOT do,i am doing it.I am so NOT PREPARED when i have around two months to exams,yet i don't have the mood to study.What is wrong with me?Where is that stress?Where is that push or motivation to study?Where did it go?And the bad thing is,the guilt i feel for not studying does not last long anymore.I will feel guiltyfor AWHILE.Once i am distracted,i FORGET about it and there i am,doing other things BESIDES studying.
My week started off with me being sick on Saturday.And it took me until Monday to recover as i could not eat.So was feeling dizzy.
On Monday night,Stevie came and stayed a night at my house.He was here to go KL with us (sis and me) the next day.I was so undecided whether to go or not as i was just recovering and feeling better.In the end,on Tuesday morning,i decided to pack a bag of medicine and go ahead with the trip.
Tuesday morning,had a quick breakfast and off to the airport.Papa sent us as mummy had to send bro to school.We arrived there quite early,so went and took some photos,bought some things before checking in.There was a lot of people traveling to KL that morning.The waiting area was crowded.The plane arrived on time so we could reach KL on the time we estimated also.On thing about Airasia that i like is..we can take photos with the plane (don't know if we are allowed to or not,but we did it anyway).
KL...KL...KL....Took the shuttle bus to KL Sentral and thenhad our breakfast at McD.I was feeling a little dizzy so ended up packing my meal.Then...it was the start of our shopping or rather window shopping and lots of walking and taking LRTs.
First stop..Berjaya Times Square.We were there quite early.So many shops were just opening.We did more of window shopping at this place cos everything looks as though we can get it from Penang.So didn't bother buying.Finished walking to whole mall in around 2 hours.That also was with lots of sitting at the bench (I did that the most as i was SO SLEEPY,couldn't sleep the night before and got to get up early).
Second stop..Pavillion.Met with my friend,FH and we decided to have lunch there.Couldn't decide where to eat as there was so many choices so we ended up at the food court which was also the same thing.I didn't order anything except bought a bottle of mineral water cos i still had my McD and i was still full.The rest did order some food and the portion is HUGE.I wonder how the people there can finish.Pavillion was nice and that was the first place we bought something.
Third and last stop for the day..Suria KLCC.We walked to the place..it was suppose to be a 15minutes walk but ended up talking longer.Either we were walking very slow or it was just more than a 15minutes walk.Anyhow,we got there...There were a lot of people at the garden and sitting near the fountain either taking photos or just relaxing.We had to take a break there..chose a nice spot and sat there.The warmth of the seat was a relaxation to the aching muscles according to sis.Stevie went shoppingafter a few minutes while FH,sis and me continued sitting there until the fountain was on.It was really nice to be able to sit,relax,enjoy the breeze,chat and watch people walking pass.
After that,it was meeting up with Stevie's uncle for dinner and then headed back to his house to rest for the night.Legs were aching so badly that night and of course,we had a good sleep.
Wednesday morning...His uncle gave him a car to drive so we parked it at a LRT station and then took the LRT to MIdvalley.Got a little lostalong the way,which was FUN.Haha!We had a map so before we know it,we were back on track.Midvalley..haven't been there since i came back from UKM.Because we didn't have breakfast so that was the first thing we did.Had burger at Carl's Jr.The burger is really huge (That was our breakfast + lunch + dinner),it was so filling and our mouth were aching for having to open that big to take a bite.Then,we split up and went on our own.Sis and me walked and walked and walked and finished going round the whole mall in an hour.There was another hour to kill so we decided to go round again looking for things to buy back home.Finally when it was almost time and wemet Stevie,he suggested that we get perfume.And that's what we bought.There was a promotion so quite worth buying it.
The next place..the main reason we were there..The seminar at Menara Hap Seng.This one was purely based on the map and looking out for the building.We only know it based on the map and wikimapia.So..pure adventure to figure out which was to go.We didn't get lost and manage to find it reasonably easily.
After seminar...met up with FH at Petaling Street to go jalan-jalan as it was still early to go back and the next day was our last day.Walked and saw a lot of things but i don't know why i didn't feel the urge to buy anything.I was only feeling a little hungry so we had supper there.Food was as usual,big portion and it took us awhile to finish them.
It was quite late after we were done eating.The LRT we were suppose to take was closed so we took a taxi to where the car is and the headed back his uncle's house.
Last day in KL...Went to UKM to meet with my friends and also to show sis how it is like in a uni.Visited a few places which brought back memories of when i was there..the orientation,having to walk to my lectures,where i had my lunch,where i stayed.There were a few changes especially to my college.It didn't look as old as when i was there anymore.A coat of paint made a huge difference.I got to meet with my roommate and few other friends.Some were busy so didn't get to meet them.Well..planning to make another trip during their convo next year.So,will meet them that time then.
Kajang...SJ brought us to Kajang for lunch.The famous satay Kajang..I was so surprised to know that there are beef,mutton,fish and duck meat satay.I was feeling nervous about my flight so the satay tasted okay only.I would have enjoyed myself more if it wasn't my last day there.We ordered noodles too but sis and me couldn't eat that much so SJ did most of the eating.
FInally...KTM at Kajang,KL Sentral,LCCT and....back home to AS.
Stevie's uncle and his family: Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house for the two nights we were there.And also,thank for you for the wonderful dinner.
FH: Thank you for taking the trouble to come out and meet us,bring us around and listen to me complain the whole time we were walking =) Thanks for the supper.Waiting for you to plan your trip to Penang and AS so that i can belanja you.
SJ: Thanks for fetching us around and for bringing to us to Kajang.Finally we get to taste the famous satay.Sorry about the ticket...
Papa and mummy: Thank you for letting us go on this trip.It was really an experience and adventure and we really enjoyed ourselves.Um..we did pay attention during the seminar and learn something from there too.
Yesterday,went out with Cikgu and bro for dinner at Georgetown Coffee House (AS mall).First time trying out the food there.Bro ordered the rice with rendang chicken (is that what it was called?either rendang chicken or rendang rice..forgot as there was an arguement on what it should be).According to bro,the chicken was really tender and soft but the gravy was a little sweet.Cikgu and me ordered the Penang char kuey teow.I think why it was names after the one in Penang is because there was 3 quite big prawns.Penang is known for that i think cos only in there,i find the prawns.Other places usually they are smaller or there is none.From the photo in the menu,it looks so spicy so i decided to get the normal one while Cikgu ordered more pedas.There was a difference in the colour but i am not sure if it was THAT spicy as it looks.So,for those pedas lovers..make sure you write on the remarks column..'double extra pedas'.Didn't try the coffee cos was not in the mood for it.Will try it the next time i go..
Then,it was to the cinema.Wanted to watch G-Force but then there was only the first row left.Decided not to torture our necks.
When we were parking the car,saw that AS mall has snooker.So,bro suggested we give that a try.None of us know how to play..don't even know how to place the balls.Well,there must always be a first time to everything right?So..there we were,the three of us,trying our hardest to hit the balls into the pocket (is that what you call it?).Bro was the first to hit it in,followed by Cikgu and FINALLY me.But,after getting used to playing,i managed to hit more but using the 'X' stick (the two of them were jealous and keeps making fun of me and my 'X' stick).Not sure who got the most balls into the pocket but it was surely fun.We were laughing nonstop especially when we were aiming so properly and ended up not hitting the ball at alll.I definitely enjoyed myself.Hope bro and Cikgu did too..
'1 Malaysia'...is the hot topic in Malaysia right now.Everyone is talking about it and waiting to see the changes. It is said that there will not be any differences among the races in Malaysia.That means,no more being seen as a Malay,Indian or Chinese.We are now,1 Malaysia.Therefore,there will not be a column requiring people to state their religion and race in forms.That is the main change from '1 Malaysia'.
Just a few days ago,i was on my way to Queensbay and saw this.
It is written 'Bumiputra release units'.. (if i am not mistaken)
I was wondering...how will '1 Malaysia' be implemented on matters like this and the compulsory percentage of Malays in a company?Because we are now one,will this still happen?
Forgot when it was..Mum wanted to prepare porridge for dinner and i don't like it.I only eat it plain with dishes or when i am not feeling well.
So..mum asked me to cook dinner since i complained.I was quite game into trying as it has been awhile since i tried cooking.I always tell the maid in Penang how to cook but never did it cos she doesn't let me.
Tadaa.....!Dinner is served...
Fried meat with egg,ginger and sesame oil.
Boiled vege with fried garlic.
Grilled fish with...i don't know what.This one mum helped with the seasoning.My job was to grill it.
How do they look?Okay?Pass for someone who has not prepared dinner before?Mum thinks it was quite okay and even asked to cook the next day =)
Kennyaik.It is located in front of ASRC or opposite Spring Leaf.Not much of a hassle getting a car park if it is before 5pm (because people will usually go to play badminton after working hours).From the outside,the salon looks okay,not over high-class.The inside is very simple.There are around 6 seats,2 places to wash your hair and NO waiting place.Yes..no sofas to sit while waiting.That is one of its cons.
There are 2 guys working,one is the director and another is the junior.So,if there are more than 2 people there,means you will have to wait at least 30 minutes before it is your turn.If you don't mind waiting,then you can go to this place.
The 2 guys...hm..let me try to describe them to you.The director..the first thing i noticed about him is his tattoos,he has them on his back and also his legs.So,with tattoos,obviously don't expect his hair to be the 'guai' looking type.His hair is short at the back while the top is long until he can tie into a ponytail.Even though the looks is quite intimidating,he is actually friendly and nice.He listens to what you want and cuts accordingly.He doesn't recommend his products or services except when you ask him to.He can give quite good ideas about how to cut your hair and he definitely has a lot of skills in cutting,uses the methods that i have not seen before.On the other hand,his junior..almost the same hairstyle as him but without the tattoos.I am not sure if he is that friendly cos didn't talk to him.
Finally..the price for the services.For a haircut under the director,it is RM39.I feel it is a little expensive but my friends who are back from KL thinks it is okay.They thinks that the price you pay for the skills he has is worth it.So,it is up to individual to decide whether it is or not.
I will rate this place 3 out of 5.It is because there is no waiting place and also because i feel the price is a little too high.
*I will let you know the business hours after i asked..Forgot to do that when i went.
Yesterday,sis and me went for haircut.Today,it is A.Amelia's turn.Because i am now into blogging about places to go for haircut,she was kind enough to try a new place so that i can have a blog material.
After the usual breakfast,sending Alyssa and fetching the boys,we decided to go on our little adventure,salon shopping.
At first we thought of going to DZE but don't know why we ended up at this place called Posh.After the bridge at Pekan Cina,turn left at the traffic light.It is located somewhere in there (I will try to get the precise location the next time i go).
This salon has been in operation for 2 years (Imagine,I didn't know it existed until yesterday when i saw the small sign board).Their business hours are from 11am-8pm,everyday except Monday.The place looks new,modern and quite professional.The atmosphere inside is nice,not too crowded and intimidating..comfortable and relaxing.
So,i assumed for a place like that,the price will be around RM30 or more for a haircut.But when i went in and checked out the price list for the services they provided,it is actually very reasonable (maybe cheap too).For a cut and wash under the director,it was only RM25 (compare that to what i had yesterday *regretting*).A.Amelia said the wash is one of the best she had and the hairdresser took her time to snip.Not that she takes a VERY LONG time,just long enough for you to feel that your $$$ is worth it.
The people there are friendly too.Some salons especially with young hairdressers,they tend to be a little proud but this place,they are generally okay.Besides that,they also talk when necessary only.What do i mean by necessary...They will ask what you want and maybe suggest some styles for you but they don't really promote their services that much.I dislike it when all they talk about the entire time is 'you should do this','you should buy that' or 'your hair looks dry and this and that..i think you need this treatment and that'.It is okay to promote a little but not the entire time when you are doing or when you have said that you don't want it.So,this is another plus point for Posh.They talk when they need to,do not promote their products and services but at the same time,they are still nice.
Other than that,what i like about this place is that there is not much waiting.There are 5 seats and 5 hairdressers (2 directors and 3 stylist) and that means when you are seated,you are sure to be served in awhile.Comparing that to many salons nowadays where they have 8 seats and only 3 hairdressers.Having a seat doesn't mean you will be served in a short while.Sometimes you might even have to wait for an hour or more.So,this place is good in a way that there is not much waiting when you are already seated.
Finally,they serve you drinks if you choose the director.It is just something different from what the normal salons in AS would do.So,if you are one who is always thirsty when you go to a salon,then this is the place to go =)
So....i will rate this place 4/5 just from wathching.I will rate it again when i have a haircut.
Three months since i last had a haircut.Usually i will go after a month or two cos my hair becomes flat very fast.But,then seems like it is TOO frequent.And that is why i ended up with 3 months this time.
Where did i go this time for a haircut...Wanted to try DZE but had to wait for an hour and i have dance class at 6.30pm so decided to go to another place.
SO....Finally,went to A&J at Taman Badlishah.Bro went there once and the outcome was quite okay for the price.That is why i decided to give it a try there.The salon looks okay,not as nice as Line1 or Jimmy&Guys though.There was no one when sis and me went.Sis went first and then me.The guy paid a lot of attention to what we wanted,the length especially.After getting the length right,usually they will layer and snip a lot to get the shape and all.BUT this guy didn't do much.What i noticed about mine was that..he took the fringe and cut to the length.Then, the rest into 4 sections and cut that to the length.And the back again into sections and cut a little.And then..WA LA.Done!It took...the most 10 minutes.
IMAGINE!TEN MINUTES to cut a girl's hair.Usually it will take at least,minimum..30 minutes.The haircut was okay..but then i didn't like paying RM25 for less than 10 times he used the comb and taking so fast to finish it.As though he had not done anything and feels like i can ask my mum to give me that cut.
For those who wants a really quick haircut and doesn't mind the price..then this is the place to go.He follows exactly the length you want him to cut (unlike Line1).So..it is okay for me,but i would want someone who spends a little more time on my hair for that price.
There has not been any updates about my dance lately because i didn't attend my class.Not because i didn't want to attend but because i was stuck in Penang and had to miss them.I am actually SO looking forward to going this week.
I had my Moral exam on Friday..so had to stay back in Penang from Wednesday until Friday.I can't be driving back to AS just for my dance.It will be too much especially on my parents' pocket as i am now driving back EVERY WEEK.So,that was the best solution.
The other day,when i was out wth my friends,the dance uncle called.He is really so sweet.He asked me how i was with my dancing and the hip movement,whether i was improving,learning new steps..and also wished me good luck in dancing (I need a lot of luck especially in learning those tough moves).I was so touched..It is not always that people remember you like that.I wished him all the best in the surgery he is going to undergo and hope that he will recover fast so that he can come dancing with me again.
He underwent his surgery last Friday.Hope that everything is fine.Do you think it is okay for me to give him a call now?Or wait for awhile more,let him rest?Hm....
This is the first week (i think) i am in Penang on Sunday.And it so happens that,Esther,Erny and OKC are free.So,they decided to come down to jalan-jalan.
I had to leave around 10.30am to fetch them from the jetty.It took me some time even though there is the new expressway because I didn't know how to get to that.Ended up going through town which was not that jammed but there were a lot of traffic lights.Luckily,i reached just in time.
After picking them up,went to Tanjung Bungah because Esther wanted to collect some shells.The weather was not that sunny,so thought that it would be better to go there first.The beach was quite okay.Only a few people were there.So..walked,collected shells and took photos.Everything was so nice until we got sand stuck to our slippers and the unexpected wave that made OKC and Esther wet.Took us some time to clean up after the walk.
Around 12pm,we went for lunch at New World Park.Ice kacang,fruit juices,pei tee,loh bak,fried kuey teow and fried belacan rice and fruits..
Next stop was the temple.Erny said she wanted to go so we did a quick stop there.She and OKC went to pray while Esther and me walked a little round and then sat in the car to sembang.
Then,it was to the Botanical Garden.Admission is free but the ride on the tram was not.RM2 for adult and RM1 for kid..which is quite reasonable i think.Walked around for awhile,took some photos and then took the ride to get an overall view of the garden.The tram was really,very slow.Anyone can walk faster than it.
It was around 2pm when we came out of that place.Everyone was a little tired.What is the second best thing to do besides sleeping for girls?So..there we were at Queensbay.Shop after shop we went in.Ranking of who spent the most: Esther,Erny,me,OKC..
Finally,makan place..Fruit juice,longan drink,fried kuey teow,laksa,hokkien mee,egg tart.
After eating,sent them to the jetty to take a bus from Butterworth while i headed back to aunt's house.
I was SO TIRED and i am sure they were too.Everyone should have no problem going to sleep yesterday cos i surely didn't have it.I was out before I realised it.
*Hope that you guys enjoyed yourselves..cos i surely did.It is fun to do something different sometimes.See you guys in AS during Raya..*
