FRIM

I do not know when did the idea of going to FRIM came out but I know I was terribly excited to know that we were going to have a picnic there. =D =D =D. Yea call me weird but I love stuff like having picnics and laying down on your back and looking at stars. It's the best way to pass time really.

On the 6th of January 2009, we met up at Mark's house at the ungodly hour of 7am. I came late, but that's another story to tell. =P. We took only a short while to reach FRIM because Kevin and Mark did their homework by using GoogleEarth to find the nearest route there, I kid you not.

Ok lazy to tell you guys grandmother stories already I'll show pictures cause we're amazing camwhores even in the forest and took super duper a lot of pictures!

L-R: Jonathan , Sarah, Laura, Marky and I. We were touching this thousand year old tree stump. Cool eh?

We then got lost trying to find the entrance into the forest. Again, I kid you not. We made one big loop to return to the same spot, then to realised
that we were supposed to walk the other way. Hoho.

We saw flying saucers! =D.

Nah, it was just the biggest bamboo species in the world. We nearly missed it because it was planted like 5 feet away from the tar road.

You're supposed to see a panaromic view of the forest behind us. As to why I was wearing shorts... I really didn't know we were going into a forest. HAHA. Really bad decision. I still have the marks from scratching my mosquitoe bites. Lesson learnt: no matter HOW ITCHY YOUR MOSQUITOE BITES ARE, don't even THINK about scratching it!

We're the coolest. =D. We wish. Lol.

This tree is called the Tarzan tree. Well named indeed. I now regret not taking a picture with it.

You must be wondering why did we pose in front of a rock? It's so common anyway. Well the thing is, it was labelled as "Big Rock"on the map provided. The name gave away a lot but we were thinking since we were already so deep into the forest, why not walk another 5 more minutes to satisfy our curiosity. Much to my chagrin, we couldn't quite tell which was the aforementioned "Big Rock" because there was 2 rocks of roughly the same proportion within 1 metre of each other. HAHAHA. HAHAHA. HAHAHA.

Luckily, on the way out, we saw something really amazing. FINE FINE WE POSED FOR THAT PICTURE ONE OK! It wasn't as candid as you thought it was.

Isn't nature amazing and gorgeous at times? =)

As I said we're amazing camwhores. We look like the Famous Five.

We got out of the forest safely and scrambled to the car for food. We nearly finished the food intended for our picnic later. *shy*.

Second round into the forest, this time, we were heading for the canopy walkway and waterfalls. I looooveeee this picture laaaaaa. =). All you need to do is uh, put a camera case on the floor, place your camera on it, set timer, then click!

Look closely at that I am holding. I am holding a container FULL of sandwiches. So yea, we really did carry all of our picnic stuff up the hill towards the canopy walkway.

On the way up, always remember to take a break and take pictures.

Loads of them.

I did say loads of them right?

It was a long way up, with a lot of "Are we there yet?". But it was definitely worth it.

I was still carying the sandwiches wtf.

Even at this height, Mark could put down the food stuff he was carrying, stretch his leg across (cause you're supposed to keep a distance of 3 metres between each other) and make us pass Kevin's camera to him. O_o.

Kev, when did you take this!

At the end of the bridge...

Then then... we had to go all the way down to the picnic area near the waterfalls. Again, take loadsa pictures!

Time to dig in. At that time, the food tasted extra good.

We love mother nature!

We went to Izzi for food at... 4 pm cause they were too hungry and their crazy 75% discount was still on.

So YESSSSS LAAAAA, I did have a lot of fun that day ok? =). And I went out that night too so I couldn't wake up the next morning. I woke up in the afternoon.

I wanted to blog about FRIM but it'll have to wait until after Chinese New Year. We took LOADS of photos man.

Gatherings

1. 6K 2001 from Puay Chai

Surprise surprise! I really did come from a chinese primary school so remember that and stop asking me if I came from SKDJ or even Taman Megah. Lol.

Anyways, I graduated from primary school 7 years ago so some details may remain hazy to me, like the fact that some boy bullied me until I cried. O_o. I honestly do not have any recollection whatsoever of that incident! Oh well, what I remember was I had 47 (around there la) classmates and I used to sit between two boys, one was the school smarty pants who held the number one position in the entire form of 400+ students while the other was the school swimmer and badminton player. So whenver they go off for competition I had to sit alone. HAHA!! And if you guys want to know who the genius was, it's Chan Heng Ji, the dude who went to Cambridge. I remember him very clearly because whenever I got high marks for my papers he used to ask if I copied his answer. -______________-. I'll remember people who insulted my intelligence, hmph! I guess I am always quite competitive now because of that. Lol.

Enough of being sentimental. I'll show you how we look 7 years later.

Standing (L-R): Harvey, Rachel, Gloria.
Sitting (L-R): Me, Jeanette (I bet most of you guys didn't know we go a really LONG way back huh?), Jia Yen.

Apparently every one looks the same. The guys grew taller too obviously.

Miao Shan joined in. AND, don't you guys think Harvey look a bit like Zhang Dong Liang (his dressing and hair)? Look closely before you comment!

Harvey was bullied into holding the photo (our old class photo) up for 3 pictures. Hoho.

L-R: Harvey, Geoffrey (he told me Geoffrey is the british version of Jeffrey), Jeanette, Davina, me, Miao Shan, Jia Yen, Gloria, Rachel, Jin Ern and Kenny.

The girls.

To be honest I haven't really been keeping in touch with most of my primary classmates so we really have to thank Facebook for bringing us all back together again. Even if we could only get one fraction of the class to come. LOL.

#2. G4 2007 of Taylor's

This class is hopeless. I love everyone to death but we're really bad in keeping in touch. =(. So THANK YOU SAMMI FOR ORGANISING THIS GATHERING! It's really time that we hang out again. ;).

To be sure that you're at the right gathering, stand at the entrance of the appointed restaurant and listen for Ruy Mun's voice. That's how I found our table really. =D.

That's the loudspeaker in white. I met him in the Monash library just a few days ago and I think the entire library could hear every word of our conversation. O_o.

Aiks only Boon and I are looking at the camera. Wow, one year has passed and you still like to give the peace sign in photos huh, Boon?

Sammi Wammi and I! I'll be seeing more of you I hope. ;).

Standing (L-R): Ivan, Jun Beng (nice hair colour MUAHAHA), Vid (<3), onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HvbY9ZQ4C5Y/SXWD5b0p1VI/AAAAAAAADcg/V5UWDuF_TBU/s1600-h/P1100148.jpg">The girls. I was reunited with my soulmate <3. Teehee.

Ok I am going to tell you guys what happened after you guys left. We continued talking (since I don't takei and so they couldn't just ditch me) for about one hour or so until it was time for me to leave as well. At that moment, Boon and Ruy Mun insisted on walking me to the entrance despite my protests. However, on the way, we bumped into Hui Ruan who was bringing a group of medical students (from Korea, China etc) around Sunway Pyramid. There happened to be one HOT KOREAN girl there apparently so after we said bye to Hui Ruan, Ruy Mun was doing the freaking running man in the middle of a shopping mall on a freaking weekend because Hui Ruan said there were more girls in Marks and Spencers -________-. In fact, he started swinging his arms around to dance for another 5 minutes. O_o. I think even Boon was a bit embarassed. Lol.

Then here's the best bit ok. We continued walking towards the entrance when we saw Marks and Spencers. Ruy Mun ran off immediately to see those hot girls followed by Boon. -________-. Super mou yi hei man you people! Tsk.

If you're wondering why high school wasn't listed here, it's really cause I see my high school friends on such a regular basis that our outings shouldn't be called gatherings anymore.

Random note: EH WHY IS IS IT THAT BIOTECH STUDENTS IN MONASH MALAYSIA ONLY HAVE TO STUDY 3 DAYS A WEEK #)*$&#@(#0. I want to lodge a complaint!

Happy Birthday Budak!

Heh, I wanted to be the last person to wish you on your birthday but I was chatting and I missed by a few minutes.

Anyways, as my title says, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Welcome to the 19 club! =P. And the reason why Mark was stomping his foot when we came in with your cake was cause we lighted the candle like 3 freaking times and it still went out. Haih damn fail. And the shopkeeper from which we got the lighter spoke to us in cantonese. So when he asks us questions we kinda stoned a while, causing slight delays. HAHAHA.

If anyone wants to know who started me on the Wu Ke Qun frenzy, this is the person responsible. =D. Yes, you're allowed to strangle her.

Edit:
Since you like sunsets so much this is your birthday present. =D.

You know I was just joking right?

Kev's 20th @ Secret of Louisisana

I know I haven't been blogging for quite a bit so I'll put up photos for you guys to see now. =). The rest of my entries will be backdated.

Anyways, Kev (K4) finally turned 20! He has officially left his teenage years behind. It was really weird seeing only TWO candles on the cake though. I guess we're really growing up now. *sniff*

Kev you're damn skinny. We'll fatten you up in Australia ok?

Random fact: he's sitting next to me on the flight to Australia. =P. And he's supposed to wake me up to see the sun rise but I think there is a high chance that BOTH of us will oversleep and miss the whole thing.

Pegs straightened her hair and Mark got new specs. HAHAAHA. Now I am just updating you about everyone else's lives!

Group photo! The waitress has LOUSY photography skills!

Ahhh... better. =). Heehee, now you guys finally get to see me without specs!

Anyways, I am still a bit stunned by the image of only TWO candles on the cake. You can say that I am denial I suppose. Sigh. Nevermind I'll only talk about happy stuff in this post. =P. Hope you had fun Kev!

Looking At The World in A New Way...

Sorry for the lousy title. Really couldn't think of a better one. Anyways, I know I haven't been blogging for a long time so I'll type a proper post today ok?

For those who are still clueless about the post below, well, the truth is, I went for LASIK operation. And...

No, it didn't hurt.

Yes, I was awake during the procedure.

The procedure is only 20 minutes long and YES I had it done in a mall (sorta, since the clinic is in the Curve).

YES I CAN SEE YOU GUYS VERY CLEARLY STOP ASKING ME HOW MANY FINGERS CAN I SEE ALREADY OMGGGG. You guys are not even allowed to ask me how many toes I can see ok. -___-.

I had the surgery done before Christmas and for all of your information, LASIK patients need to wear sunvisor indoor for the first 24 hours then for the following 7 days, we have to continue wearing sunvisor outdoors. For me, there was more trauma to my eye because my power was high so the whites of my eyes were red and I resorted to wearing sunvisor indoors. So REALLY, I wasn't trying to be poyo. I know it was pretty rude to wear sunglasses in church on Christmas Day (and no I am not a Christian but I was in a church to watch a drama) but I really couldn't help it la ok!

If you want a very detailed account of the surgery you can ask me in person I'll be happy to enlighten you but I won't trouble myself to type out my ordeal here because most of my friends are just too grossed out to listen to me talk about it. HAHA.

Anyways, life without spectacles is... GREAT obviously! I have been wearing spectacles since I was 9 so to be able to look at the world so clearly when I open my eyes in the morning is pure joy to me. In fact, sometimes after washing my face, I still look around for my spectacles out of habit. =P. I just can't play badminton or any contact sport for the next month. Sigh. Well we can't have everything at once I suppose. We'll just start to take things for granted. Heehee. Other than that however, I can do anything I want. In fact, just yesterday, a couple of friends and I went to FRIM to go for canopy walks and have a picnic by the waterfall (I'll blog about it once I get the photos). I just had to be extra cautious about getting the branches out of my face.

I really have so many other things to blog about but I haven't got the photos yet so you guys will just have to stay tune ok? =P. I bet most of you guys want to see how I look without spectacles.
