#25 Defying Gravity

Hey,

It's the 4th day of CNY, and I'm staying home today. The past few days have been absolute bliss. My dad won RM600 from my crazy uncle who bet RM300 in one round and had to pay double coz my dad won the round. I won about RM40 in total, meh. Sam and I have calculated, and we've both collected about RM900+ each this year. The most in my whole fishing life :)

Anyway, I went to Sunway with papa yesterday and he was in a huge shopping mood and ended buying 2 things for me, both above RM100 :D Then I met up with mum, and we had Nandos for dinner before going off to my mum's best friend's mother's funeral service *phew.

Auntie PG has been my mum's friend since she was 18, I think, and her daughter Marissa has been my friend for a really long time too. It's been ages since we last hung out, so I was glad to see her at the service. I've always been a fan of her brother, Mahzrin who is 20 this year, 6"1 and too fishing handsome. All the aunties there were swooning at him, no joke. Anyway, after the service, we all wanted to go catch a movie but my mum was tired so we went for a drink at some mamak. I had fun talking to both of them, and Mahzrin is so down to earth although he's so hot. He even asked me for girl advice, haha :D

Today is a lazy day, so I've been pretty much just reading blogs and stalking Facebook friends. I even reread a few of my old blogs which are supposed to be deleted (heh). I realize how differently I blog now. I used to write tons of things and post lots of pictures. Even with my D-SLR now, I don't know why I'm too lazy to post pictures. I should start doing that hey.

My laptop is with dad now, I hope he doesn't have to reformat it to fix it. That's my life he's talking about :/

#24 Out with the Ox, in with the Tiger

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Every year I look forward to this and this year was no exception. It's the year of the tiger peoples *RAWRRRRRRRRRRR!

It's has been life long tradition for my family to spend the whole first day of the New Year by sitting around in my grandma's house, doing our own thing. There would be mahjong, blackjack, sitting around gossiping (aunties, normal right?), watching tv and kids just creating havoc everywhere. Boy, I can't even begin to express how much I love that environment.

This year, I wore a Chinese thing top with a high waisted skirt & I was supposed to take a picture with Sam, but we forgot. Maybe some other time. The lion dancers are performing tmrw, and my mum will be going to my grandma's house too, so I'm really excited. We only played one round of blackjack today. I started off with RM3, went up to RM20+ then lost everything and ended up with RM6. Dad however, being the banker or as we say "chongker" won about RM130 :D Can't wait for another round tmrw (;

Oh, and I've been eating a lot too. Like seriously. I think I had 4 meals today. My grandma's cooking is absolutely the bomb! No one and I swear, no one can cook better than her. As tradition we had the vegetarian dish and tmrw will be all the yummy meats again. And of course, all the cookies and oranges and OH, the mighty "bakkwa"! It ain't Chinese New Year without I tell you.

Man, I love being Chinese :D

#22 What Is Love?

Heyy hello,

It's the 5th of February, already! Sucks that I still haven't decided where I want to go for college or that I still can't put my finger on which course I want...

Well anyway, I just got home from Lim Kok Wing, and I tell you, that place reeks of awesomeness. I love love love the environment which is not good. It's making my decision even harder to make. The architecture course there is cheaper than Taylors (surprisingly) by a bit but I'll have to start in March since my trial results were shit and I can't go for the Feb intake coz of that. Which also means I have another two months to kill and I simply can't wait for college.

So, my dad has impromptu-ly decided for me to take SAM in Taylors so that I have a better foundation for my second degree (LIKE WHAT?). Yeah, dad says he would prefer if I took a 2nd degree after my architecture. And by prefer, he means he wants. Mhmm. I'm thinking Chemical Engineering but hey, one step at a time, right? Plus, he prefers (heh) that after SAM, I go overseas to study, like in England or some shit but like I said, one step at a time. I don't want to rush my decision in these two months and regret later, so yeah, SAM.

Other than that, things have been pretty good. I'm going for my Grade 8 practical in August, then most likely my Diploma after that. I'm going to be staying with Beh Beh, my piano teacher coz it's nearer to Taylors. Oh, and I've finally registered for my license which will take about up to 2 months to finalise (yay!).

OHHH CHINESE NEW YEAR IS COMING! Haha sudden wave of excitement :p I haven't done any CNY shopping yet, we'll probably go on Sunday. Can't wait for all the gambling, food and ang pau money. Ngahahaha.

I'm happy :)
