merdeka? wad merdeka?

is it me or is everyone just not into the Merdeka mood? i dun see the madness of the locals putting up the Jalur Gemilang along the streets, in their gardens, or even their cars! used to see it every year! i suddenly realised that Merdeka day is coming up in less than a week and the air of festivity is just not there! gosh... i find it a bit weird la!

when u think about it, yes, u can come up with so many reason WHY this year's Merdeka day or month is not so 'happening'. Political squabbles among greedy and immoral politicians/hero-wannabes. the MAJOR reason why i think i wud be upset : the cost of living skyrockets, thanks to sudden increase in fuel prices.... Barisan Nasional losing quite a big amount of supporters.... yet they 'tak tahu malu' and their leader whom i think is a laughing stock of the nation, i dun feel he shud be given the title of 'Datuk Seri' as Pak Lah has absolutely NO CONTROL over his lil minion or i doubt he even knows wad he is doing!

just ONE thing i'm currently rejoicing about : YESH! Lee Chung Wei won the silver medal! he still did us proud despite not coming out the overall champion. absolute respect fer the fella la! showed true sportmanship and Malaysian spirit! =) rawk on LCW!

still makes me wonder.....WTF AM I STILL DOING HERE IN THIS COUNTRY?!

walking shopping eating.dead tired.

walking up and down the brand new hypermall - One Borneo is reallly tiring. heck! its new,huge and i dont know any of the shop locations la! forgive me... i hv a very small memory capacity! hmmph! its the thot that counts right?

but we were on a mission! hehehe! Wilson, Ivy, Regina and i went from one end of the city, to the other end just to hunt for the limited edition Espirit watch and a Samsung handphone charger for his daaaaaaaarling! kekekek... sucha sweetie. after losing lots of valuables, terenz was pretty depressed and refused to sit in his car anymore. so yeah... i guess the fella felt awful. so decided to 'employ' three girls to do the shopping. CHEH~ easy job for us gurls bah~ heheh!

easy but damn tiring la! walk walk walk! finding the handphone charger was the hardest. original is RM99 while the questionable one is...darn cheap! the Espirit watch? gawsh... bargaining is bloody addictive! hehehe! the minute i got the price i wanted... i was soon eye-ing every darn thing to be bargained on! hahahah!

it took the whole afternoon and evening. by the time we finally sat down to hv a decent dinner... it was alredy nine thirty. i lied about the 'decent' dinner... we totally pigged out. we called chicken wings, satay, hokkien mee, lo mee and loads of sugary lemon drinks! hehehe! madness la... so much for wanting to stay fit n healthy!

ahya.... but worth it la~ see Terrenz soooo happy and touched by the ultra-simple card we drew in a matter of minutes in the car and then gave everything to her. awww...

olympic+bbq




playing with marshmellows! lips gone all white too!


out of the blue... with not much reason at all.... a barbecue is organized by Calvan. hahah! it was a surprising event la. asking him wads the reason behind the bbq, guessed d answer? just for frenship. isn't that refreshing? i find it so... curious. ahahaha! how many people wud go thru the trouble of organizing such a thing just for the fun of it and for frenship? not many. honestly, i thot it was so thoughtful and sweet.

got there a bit earlier to help out. wilson n yvon were alredy there dealing with the sausages and crab meat. hehehe... i joined them ... in a matter of minutes.. all was done. yvon left for home while calvan went off to fetch the gurls, i sat at the sofa listening to wilson go on and ooooon about sound systems. hehe! the rest of the guys- kelvin, peyherng, tay, kenny- came and ohmigosh... they were fooling around and got some of the more DECENT acts on photo...

the rest of the night was pretty orite as i hung out with the gurls-terenz, ivy,regina,yvon- taking silly pics and i learnt how to skewer a raw chickenwing. yes... i'm dat sakai. blek! the guys were hilarious and gentlemanly at some parts. hehehe! i'm only referring to... owh nevermind! i like the part where all the guys wud do the cooking and.... the cleaning afterwards! hehehe!

cuz we gurlies got away to watch movie! but... instead we changed our minds halfway, and off to burger king.


Olympic 2008 opening ceremony was worldclass performance la! amazing, fantastic and so blardy well thought! thumbs up and hats off China!

sending cars flying

i now drive with a seat belt, i check my car lights before driving, i made sure the guys at the office check engine stuff like brakes and timing belts.... am i a chicken or just bloody paranoid?!

no lah.... its just that, in the span of a week, i've witnessed four incidents which involved friends and cars.

daddy's new land cruiser looked like Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde. why? the driver side looked pretty while the passenger side was totally smashed. apparently he parked at the side of the road at four in the morning to have a nap. the car slid into the monsoon drain thanks to slippery surface. thank goodness daddy is orite... he was woke up in a shock, and when he tried getting out using his door... too heavy to lift it up... he....went back to sleep. amazing isnt it? he slept till sumone noticed his car and called the towtrucks and all! hahahahahah! and at that time was already seven. daddy was still sleeping. funny fella. and the guy who spotted him thot he was dead, and was panicking! hahahahahah.

last Friday, i accidentally threw Calvan off my HiLux. i think both him and myself were to blame. Ivy and i were trying to scare the four guys that we left the mall without them. knowing one of the guys would worry cuz its his responsibilty to ensure Ivy gets home safely, i drove the car to a diff parking space and we hid ourselves by lying flat down! hehehe! it kinda worked! the guys were talking loudly, noticed that my car wasnt at the parking space that i parked in when i got there and were walking around the carpark. ivy and i were giggling ourselves crazy. but... yeah. cudnt hide for long cuz Wilson recognised my car later on. while Kenny and Kelvin laughed it off, i decided : "okayla~ jokes over, lets get outta here" Calvan and Wilson stood on my driver's side of the car, hands holding on the top of the car as leverage. i was still in hyperhappy mode. i stepped on the accelerator(Wilson jumps off) and upon hearing Calvan shouting my name, i stepped on the brakes. he flew off, hitting my side mirror and then the front of my car, then unto the floor. my hyperhappy mood.. totally gone. panic is in. the embarrassing part? i shouted at the security guard "call an ambulance!" and checked Calvan's neck and head then pulled him up. he's okay but starts laughing.... yeah. butt and back hurts eh? an hour or two later, he mutters : " Wilson and i wanted to shake your car la. " oppzie....

the very next day, as i was passing by the Sabah Medical Centre. i saw a new Range Rover Vogue hit another car just after crossing a roundabout. needless to say, the other car was badly damaged while the big chunk of glamour was only slightly dented and shattered his headlights. o wells... the driver cud hv been unfamiliar with the power of the car huh? *shakes head* heheh! i'm pretty much a noob when it comes to driving so i shudnt be commenting on others eh? hahahah!

last one would be ... why do the elderly still drive?! i've got nuthin against them but rather, wat are their children thinking!? imagine us, total strangers see an elderly driving can make us cringe with worry. get them a driver( employed or relatives la!) or please dun let them drive la.... not trying to be cruel to them but rather its just for their safety la! sad la to see them drive.... dah la.. so slow. >;P
