Packed:))

Wohoooo! All packed for Korea! I kept wondering, 'Am I missing out something? Y is it so empty?' Yet I double and triple checked my really loooong check list and for the hundredth time, confirmed that everything's there. In fact, I'm packing extra toiletries, raincoats and universal adapter just in case those guys forgot theirs, not to mention a whole stack of korean brochures for them which I dun know will come in handy or not >.<

That's all? I'm afraid so.

Not that I'm bringing very little belongings but I'm just pretty good at stuffing things. Hahaha!

Iba Unplugged 2012

The past 2 days was sick! I got food poisoned. At least the medicines are colourful >.<

Shall not elaborate more on sad matters. I'm looking forward to the future where I see myself in a music workshop in PJ listening to something I'm actually interested in. Weeeeeee :) finally a silver lining after the rain!

So..... I shall pick up Caitlyn tmr morn, and zooooooom my way to PJ with a GPS. Hahahaha! Caitlyn's MUCH younger than me but despite this liiiiittle age gap we're gonna have fun! I'm sure :) The same passion is all we need!

Been sleepi...*cough* passively recovering for 2/3 of the day for the past 2 days! I still need some rest though (darn it!) my stomach still cramps occasionally.

This last paragraph was initially a LONG superbly well thought out para dedicated to my classmate Andrew. I was just finishing it when my internet connection went off and he coincidentally called. After the call, I erased the whole thing cuz I risk sounding ridiculous if he didn't go uk after all. Hahaha oops!

That's all. I go sleep.

Pek Chek!

I went out with this ex-classmate of mine in June, right after my final commercial paper. Today, 19th August, 5mins ago, I got a phone call from her mom. She sounded really upset with me. I can't forget her words.

We converse in chinese and part of our conversation went like this:

'How many times have you ask my daughter out?!'

'Only once aunty'

'When??'

'2months ago, in.. ..June'

'You ask her out and did not ask my permission?? I dun like it. That's no different from LYING to me'

'.. .. ..(*OH LYING???! TO YOU?? Your daughter is 21years old for God's sake! My friends dun come over and ask my parents permission to bring me out! Were u expecting a consent form ur royal highness?*) .. ..I do not have your number aunty'

'Fine. Dun ever ask her out again. WE ARE NOT LIKE U. WE ARE FROM A POOR FAMILY, I NEED THAT BRAT AT HOME TO DO ALL THE HOUSE CHORES AND COOK SO THAT I CAN DO MORE OT. DON'T EVER ASK HER OUT AGAIN. I DUN LIKE HER GOING OUT'

WTH. What zaman is it now that you still discriminate daughters? You think I dun know that u have a good for nothing son that does absolutely nothing at home?? Yes he's smart, but so is your daughter, equally if not more!!
I cant even go out with her for 1day?! And why are u calling me now, harping bout something that happened more than 2 months ago??! If I wasn't brought up to respect elders, I would have rudely spoken my mind.

Wait! Y am I even talking bout respecting u? Something as precious as 'respect'? U deserve none.

'This does it! I'm NOT going anywhere WITHOUT my camera again!!'
With that resolution, I placed my camera in my bag.

This morning I started fiddling with it on my way to my new house. Found a new thang called selective colour. Now that's interesting. I've seen it before in my friends's dslr, never thought my cam has this too! Wohoo!

I feel like I'm looking at the world through the eyes of a colour blind person. I'm not sure if they see things black and white or they see it as it is but their brain could not process/interpret the shade of colour they're looking at.

Anyhow, this has given me an idea of what it's like to see the world through their eyes :) might not be anything close to it but it's a start!

REd;)

YeLLoW?

GrEEn?

BLuE?

Real short

I realised that my previous posts were pretty long winded and wordy. It probably bores the life out of ppl. Sowee =(

This is gonna be real short.

Done.

Putrajaya day trip

Every Putrajaya trip that I've been to so far had me waking up the next morning with awfully sore arms. This time we ain't wall climbing, we went for kayaking instead in Pusat Maritime Putrajaya! Our initial bookings was 10 double kayaks to accommodate everyone, but due to some unforeseen blunders, our double kayaks were given to others =( so we ended up with 5 single kayaks, 2 double ones and 2 canadian canoe :)

One thing I REALLY regretted today is not bringing my camera. GAH. Would have taken BEAUTIFUL underwater shots of my friends (and me) capsizing. Not to mention the sight of a very buffed up group of people practising their dragon boat! T.T

Anyway, I chose the single kayak and started rowing out with my friends to the furthest point we are allowed to row on the lake. It was a LOOOONG way there and I heard stories that many people who set out to that spot under the bridge were left stranded in the middle of no where because they were too tired to row bak. A motorboat will then set out to rescue them. Being ambitious, me and a few guys decided to row all the way there and bak.

20mins into rowing: It was fun till we had this crazy idea of me swapping with Sam to the canadian canoe from my single kayak IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE -_- I crossed over to the canoe first, being the lightest and Sam then came out of the canoe to take over my kayak. It was going smoothly till Sam steps over to the kayak and capsized. Hahahaha, still standing, I laughed and lost my balance, capsizing the huge canoe along with the other guy on it. We spent the next 20mins trying to turn the canoe bak but it was too heavy and we didn't have anything to step on to support the weight of the canoe. So... a motorboat came by and help us turn it over.
Lesson learnt! I went bak to my kayak and kayak to the bridge. Took me another 20mins >.<

In the end, none of the guys reached the bridge, they gave up mid-way. But me and my friend persevered through! (Yay! Sore arms waiting for us when we wake up in the morning =D) Prob the single kayaks are lighter, so we made it. Hahaha but still it was funner than all my previous kayaking trips! I've never capsized before, so it was very refreshing. Haha! The water is very cooling and clean too. 5star filtering system =)

Oh, one unforgettable moment was when I was heading bak to bay. Waiting for my friend to catch up, I rested for a while, lying down in the kayak with my hat on my face and my feet in the water. It was so relaxing! To have the gently breeze and the artificial wave that slightly rocked the kayak. (Once again, I wish I have my camera with me!)

After that, was fooooooooddddd! Hahah what better thing can befall on a famished exhausted girl? We had a refreshing picnic and played some games. You have no idea how good a simple sandwich filled with mashed eggs, onions, sugar and mayo sauce combo-ed with an icy cold soft drink taste like after a good row. Sausages and brownies was the next THING. Absolutely delicious!

Somewhere along the picnic, I got a nudge from one of my girl friends. Apparently the dragon boat team is back. So we started our 'checking out' and whispers of 'that guy in red shirt, that guys in blue.. etc'. Hahah the view of buff guys coming back from their dragon boat training was delicious too. LOL. They are fully clothed okay. Hey! I really have a thing for sporting guys don't I? :P

By 1, we were on our way to Alamanda Putrajaya. Split into groups (clicks, more accurately) to do our own browsing. Checked out some bags. NOT handbags, but travelling luggages and saw one of this small wheeled suitcase (more often refered to as carry-ons I think) that I absolutely adores (gosh, the light weight material, elegant shape/dimensions and the glossy finishing of the surface!), but after a quick search for the price tag, my spirit spiralled downwards. The price was Rm 3,330.00 -_- What am I doing here? I will never spend so much on a luggage bag, for now. 3k is INSANELY insane. Period. One of my friend favours a backpacking luggage which cost Rm 150+, I'd say I can get similar bag from winter time for 2/3 of the price. Omg. Spoken like a true housewife. LOL!

Every mall will certainly have a camera shop and a bookstore. Therefore, our window shopping experience would not be complete without a visit to any one of it :P Our first camera stop was a nikon dealer. To be walking around in a group where each one of us either owns a dslr or a compact camera above 1k, what more can I say? Of course some of them would go all hyped up just looking at the Canon 7D dslr at the display glass. The only thought I can conceive is that it's called 7D cuz it cost 7k -_- but then it wun make sense coz my dad owns a 50D and another friend has a 550D. Analysing the pattern, I found out that the price decreases as the model number increases for canon dslr. Smart huh? Hahaha I really dun know much bout dslr laaa except that they are incredibly bulky and that I'd prob never get one in this lifetime.

After the camera tour we went to the bookshop. Only found a tiny mph there, how disappointing. I went to this world map corner and found a book on interesting places to visit in Korea, read it cover to cover. Don't really know most of the place mentioned but then it would take prob a year of diligent travelling to cover every recommendations. It has some pretty useful info nonetheless!

That roughly sums up my day in Putrajaya!
But without pictures, this post about getting wet is so dry.

LOL-ed

Putrajaya is 4 hours away from now.
Right now I'm checking out some youtube videos for my Korea trip. Recommended by my friend who's drowning in the incoming 'Hallyu wave'. Hahah just finished watching a hilarious vlog on a couple's trip to Lotte World. Entrance ticket costs 40,000won! Wao. A simple google search on conversion from won to MYR would come out to roughly Rm110 for that pass. WAO. And I thought Genting's 38bucks entrance ticket was expensive >.<

But of course, Genting is NO WHERE near Lotte world in terms of size and facilities. They even have a huge indoor ice-skating ring! And the whole area is so huge that u practically commute via cable car within the park itself! O.O It's like a korean Disneyland according to the couple. Hahah so I'm sure it's going to be an awesome experience for me too :) Though I ain't going in the souvenir shops to get a pair of blue bear ears like they did! >.< what are those ang mohs thinking?? Hahah so silly (but very fun to watch!). No wonder those shops even bother selling them, there's demand after all :P

After that I watch a song recommendation that is supposedly so good it entered the charts in US. GG. What did I just watch. I sat through the 4mins video gapping. After that I LOL-ed uncontrollably. HAHAHAHAHA. The dance moves! The korean 'Austin Powers' in the elevator! The yellow man! Everything is.. beyond words, beyond description. But then again, what did I just sang to my bro?

Op op op op oppa gangnam style.
