Hehe... long time no blog... anyways..came back from pangkor on saturday... the trip was quite fun... met some new people and got to mingle with old buddies... but on my first day to pangkor itself my aunt messaged me and told me the maid has been fired...hohoho...hehe... we wanted to fire her for some time now... and my wish finally came true... so i got the job as a maid..haha.. When i got home on saturday i was kinda tired already but i am the maid so still had to do the dishes while bro didn't have to do anything coz his excuse was he was sick... pif... Now whenever mum or aunt wanna call me they just shout "Maid!!" and i have to run there and say "Yes ma'am?" haha... but i am a high class maid..hehe... i eat with the family.. i sit with my ma'am on the same chair... ma'am cooks for me... etc etc... luckily we dun have to vacuum so much... i hate vacuuming but i love mopping...
Then on monday.. christmas eve... we had a supper celebration this year... i was in charge of making the cake.. since my aunt's birthday is on christmas day... she knew i was making the cake so it ain't a surprise.. i woke up quite late... and dad told me i had to cook lunch.. which was basically just a plate of veggies...and luckily i've seen mum cook it so it was quite yummy ^^ ... then i had to start making the cake.. the filling was easy but i should've made the crust first.. argghh... i have bad planning skills... i dunno how many hours i spent in the kitchen but i was glad when it was done.. though the cake had a crack on top coz the water evaporated.. haih.... but luckily it still tasted good... but by supper time dad was sick... his voice was... crackly.. but i didn't manage to put up the tree this year.. but my cousins did it while i was in the kitchen with bro, cousin and aunt preparing the shepherd's pie... there was a lot of food... too much actually... we shouldn't have had dinner.. but we all had a good time.. and this year i got presents from cousin sis.. usually we buy the pressies but dad said he didn't wanna do it this year..so i was really happy to get a present anyway since i wasn't expecting one...
And today is boxing day!! which has really no significance at all since my present didn't come in a box.... but christmas lasts for 12 days so i'm not taking down the tree yet... and i hope sales aren't over yet coz i still have lack of nice clothes..not to mention CNY is coming... and i don't know when school reopens... 2nd or 3rd Jan?? and and... i haven't got my notebooks for school yet... that is a very scary fact... and i hope i'm not the only one who wasted my holidays away not studying....time is moving too fast....but i'm looking forward to school :) ... oh and i would like to take this opportunity to wish all a merry christmas!!

haven't been blogging for so long..hehe... i was just thinking how to put this... hmm.. my last post was about visiting my granpa... that was on saturday... then i got a shock on monday.. was getting ready for tuition then i called mum to ask about transport then she told me he already passed away... nevertheless.. i was shocked... but i cried for a while i think more out of shock than because i was close to him.. i lost mood to go for tuition... but the next day being a public holiday, my cousins and aunts (dad's side) decided to pay their respects too.. so we went and i thought of making ourselves useful so i took some gold paper for my aunts and cousins and me to fold..then suddenly an aunt said why not we compete and see who folds faster? coz only 4 ppl were folding at our table.. bro and the aunt who suggested the competition and another aunt who taught me to fold nicely... so we folded like mad ppl..hahah... my uncle from mum's side and his sons were watching us haha... but it was nice... and since granpa was 95 when he passed away his funeral wasn't exactly a sad one..some ppl say when ppl pass away from 100 and above ur not supposed to cry at the funeral...but anyways i tink nobody was too sad after that.. mum's okay now.. grandma was fine also...

Ahh...and now we're in a christmassee mood... though the tree is not up yet but we started listening to christmas songs... can't wait for christmas to make shepherd's pie again ^^ .... but dad's in singapore now..bro leaving for pangkor tomorrow and so it'll be mum, me, the maid and aunt at home tomorrow.. lucky dad is coming home by wednesday coz i'm leaving for pangkor on thursday XD ..haha.. looking forward to it... but i seem to be short of shorts...haha.. can't find shorts i like... piff... but mum told me to get ikan bilis and cuttlefish for her... haih.. hope it doesn't stink... i tink i'll update after my trip.. unless something interesting comes up...

Usually on Saturday ( ever since November anyway..) i have Mr Mani's tuition..but this week coz dad is playing golf and we wanted to go to pavillion so i replaced on thursday... sadly... thursday class is slower than saturday class.. -.-''' ....i wasted one and a half hours sitting there listening to a lesson i've attended before... haih...
But today wasn't all fun though... we didn't visit pavillion straight away... first stop was visiting my grandpa in the old folks home..( he was too hard for my aunt to take care of so he had to be sent there..grr..its a long story).. and he looked so different that mum almost didn't recognise her own father...though i'm not close to him (but i always thought he was cool coz his hair is totally white and he used to walk around with sunglasses :) ..) i still felt a bit sad.. he's grown so thin and his skin is all wrinkly.. already he usually doesn't talk much and now he din even say a word.. haih... wish he was like last time...
After that we visited grandma...hmm..grandma... she was really funny today... she gave me a sachet of 3 in 1 instant coffee..haha... can say that it's the first present she gave me my whole life...excluding angpau..by the time we visited it was already afternoon...haih..
So off to pavillion... and... its huge... we didn't get to walk the whole thing coz mum didn't understand the new shopping complex philosophy... or maybe coz she been there before... in a new shopping complex we should always walk the whole place first before going in store by store... but mum didn't let us walk the whole place..haih... we had lunch and spent most of the time in esprit...bro and mum got some stuff.. walked around a bit... and before leaving i asked mum for a cream puff and a fondant... then went to look at the supermarket... and i like the supermarket!! coz it has stuff that other places don't have... hehe.. the Meiji products~~ the different kinds of beans~~ but mum was rushing rushing so i didn't get to walk the whole supermarket either..*sigh*.. whatever it is i must definitely go to pavillion again... someday..maybe not with mum and dad..must be with other people who understand the "new shopping complex" philosophy!!

Jaya Jusco Bukit Tinggi...

Just came back from Bukit Tinggi Jusco... I won't say its huge or wonderful...but there are some special features there...like all the shops are higher... not the standard size... its hard to see the signboard as you're walking along the shops... it wasn't the best shopping experience because it was so packed!! and some kids were making a fuss here and there.. but there are a lot of food stalls...and what's nice is that they have takoyaki and dorayaki~~ fresh!! hehe..
I went with my aunt, bro, cousin CC and cousin CK... so since there 3 guys and only us 2 gals we didn't look at clothes much.. just went into esprit for a while and came out.. walked around.. they don't have a bowling alley yet but i think there will be one soon coz the 3rd and 4th floor is still empty.. after walking the whole ground floor, 1st and 2nd floor... we were getting hungry.. so we thought of what we wanted to eat.. as usual.. this is a dilemma... we can't decide.. few weeks a go we went to JJ we also had a hard time deciding.. but cousin CK wanted to have windmill... so we thought it should be OK... although there didn't seem to be a lot of people there...
I've never been to windmill actually.. always wanted to but never got the chance..so we waited to be seated..and their small windmill thingy at the entrance didn't spin!! which is really disappointing for someone who always wanted to see the spinning thingy :( ... when we decided to order cousin CC ordered something called Burger Bismark.. then the waiter said it was not nice and suggested he ordered something else... -.-''' first time i heard something like that.. so he ordered something else... and lets just say the whole dining experience was not worth it.. we should have suspected it when there were so few people...
Then off to the supermarket... and the variety there is so.....so...impressive... the chocolates~~ ritter sport chocolate in cuppucinno flavour... which you can't find in JJ bukit raja... and all the other wonderful stuff..... they even have sea salt... how often do u see that?!?! i know...you may think its just salt... but sea salt is not ordinary salt... its the salt that those chefs on TV usually use... so we got a bottle...hehe.. and 3 packs of ritter sport.. and cousin CK wanted some ice cream.. so after paying we went to haagen dazs... i rather go there for dinner than go to windmill!! a happier and more enjoyable dining experience... i think the only thing worth going there for is haagen dasz and the supermarket... ohh..and a crazy promoter at eu yan sang :P ... haha... anyone who went today will understand..
