cause he is as white as a steampao and as botak as a monk ^_^
azfar has grown taller than me already T.T

izza got vin sen a cap
she gave me a present wrap in a gift wrapper
i can tell it's a mug :D
and she said it was from the p.a board
well i noe that was a lie thanks to natasha who spoiled the fun at her blog =.=
no offense...but i knew that present was from her...not the p.a board

after recess had to take down all the flags
got 3 splinters T.T

i like my duty place during recess now ^_^
cause got vin sen and kar sing nearby....i mean REALLY nearby
i jaga behind the kantin....the place where it looks like a cementry ( graveyard )
kar sing duties at the laluan ilmu and vin sen at the gate at laluan ilmu
1 big happy family ^^

during bm as usual...play scientific calculator :P
beat record...33 min 56 sec
count down from 1 billion minus 100 000
i noe it sounds childish....at least it's better than listening to pn maizon's talking right??
speaking of which we have debate YAY!!!
but it's in bm NOO!!!
y can't it be in english....it would be so much better T.T

after assembly finished...i tried to do as many things as possible
enough time for eugene to go home =.=
cause i noe he 100% going to "water" me cause he saved 1.5 litters of water
den when going out skool i was walking with my jie ( hui qing )
den she ask me y nvr get tempek yet
so happened vishahan was behind =.="

my mum gave me a choice to go to either of these restaurants

Eden
T.G.I Friday
San Fransisco Steakhouse
Manhattan Fish Market
Kim Gary

i chose T.G.I Friday!!! :D
i forgot to bring my camera to take pictures T.T
i forgot what was the drink i ordered =.=
but it was delicious
ordered fish and chips...and it seems the way they serve the fish now is different

after everything i went to the wash room
at that time my parents told the waiters and waitresses today my bday
when i came out from the washroom....my parents smile at me like one kind oni
and then 2 waiters ask me to stand on the chair
well obviously by then i noe y they were smiling at me like that
then they gave me the pepper and make me use it like a mike =.=
after giving a 10 second speech they made my ears deaf by stumping on the floor and banging the table
i kept asking "can i get down now???"
i asked around 4 times :D

after that went home to get moon cakes for my piano teacher and send my dad to ping pong
also called my bros

actually i miss Joey more cause i can't hear the sound of canon on the piano anymore T.T
but i'm learning it now :D
i kept talking wit my bro till i reached music school...den i passed the phone to my piano teacher
my teacher knows joey ( my bro ) cause my bro was his student b4 he left for australia
maybe he was my teacher's favorite student

came home and was exausted
and nemo ( shang qin ) kept asking me about our kh project
we're cooking tommorow!! xP
actually it's not "we" it's "me"

i TRIED to talk pictures of mother nature

although my ears were full with pressure 10 minutes after i opened the window =.=

so after travelling around 4 hours we stopped at the tapah rest stop area
that was when i sms keith abt czt-ms ( our maple private server )

Awana Kijal / Kota Bahru Trip 08 ( day 4 )

Saturday
hmm today woke up at around 8
today was free as in no plans....so i slept some more till 10
left the hotel for my aunt's house for breakfast

breakfast was nasi laut
it was nice but cannot be compared with the nasi dagang :P
since i was still quite tired i slept at my aunt's place
while my parents were helping my aunt and uncle fix the fax machine i had a nice sleep....maybe for an hour or so :D
my aunt got me a army pattern pants
yea i like army pattern things...can be like john cena LOLL
jst joking...that one is emily rite??? XD

after that we went sight-seeing around the town
visited some place that brought back memories to my dad such as his primary school , secondary school , his old house , his village and so on
speaking of which my dad's house got burn down T.T
dam sad....my dad almost cried
at least toke some pictures...maybe the nxt time we go there the house will be torn down =.=
den we headed to the Kelantan River
we went to the part of the river where my dad and his old friends used to play
also saw some floating houses :D

since there was digi-man everywhere....my dad bought the 1 year package for me
and i mean EVERYWHERE
it's like each street u see a yellow colored avanza we at least 5 ppl in yellow shirt , with lots of yellow balloons , and wit a big digi-man dummy
after buying the package...i now hav rm 308 worth of credit :D :D
they gave a few gives too such as a digi shoe back , digi cd case , popcorn , and a cap
my mum said after buying the package
"i have seen too much yellow color today" =.="

after that we went to the Pasar Borong nearby
wanted to buy souvenirs and other things
bought some key chains and bookmarks....bought ramli burger too ^^
den we went to the famous kopitiam place nearby called White House
i can see y they call it that cause the whole place was as u guess it - WHITE
wall white , floor white , tiles white , table white , chair white , plate spoon cup and fork white , the waiters and waitresses also dressed white
i 4got....even the waiter and waitresses skin was white!!! whiter den steam pao some more!! no offense :D

after that went back to the hotel
sleep till 6 den went to my uncle's place ( the pembuli )
i was SOO not looking forward to it at all
went there and ate dinner
the curry was nice i hav to admit
but besides that....i hate the talking =.="
jst kept playing the games on my phone
left at 9 cse wanted to go to the night market

night market bought alot of things ( and i had to carry them =.=" )
and since it was raining they put up some shelter which was plastic attached to a pole
so the ones which aren't properly straight will catch and hold up water and with a little wind will splash the the water on the floor
trust me....walking at that place was walking through a water land mine
one time 1 by 1 water falling onto the ground =.=

bought souvenirs for ppl :D
bought gasing , wau , caps and belts
i bought my baby couz a little army dress and skirt =.=
i wonder how will she look like in it

after that we went back to the hotel

so my couz dad is my dad's brother ( that's how i'm related )
so happens that we were going to visit my uncle on the very same day
so my cousin's bf arranged a dinner for tomorrow nite
after my dad had finish sending him email we left for the hotel at 2

my parents went for a walk around the hotel
i jst hibernated in the hotel room :D
it was such a nice environment to sleep in
woke up at 5
went to my dad's old friend's father's house =.=
apparently his name is Mr. Lee
his a 82 year old man
at 1st sight i taught it was 1 of those grandfathers hu jst keeps speaking chinese which i don't understand at all
when he spoke my mouth was wide open
he spoke fluent english!!!
i NEVER heard any 82 year old person speak such a fluent english
even better then keith's :D
when we were halfway talking....i felt something move on my feet
so i grab the thing n guess what??? it was one HUGE dust ball
i say around the size of your thumb =.=

after that we went to another of my dad's friend's house
two big bungalows nxt to each other , a super huge lawn....around the size of padang asam =.=
y two bungalows nxt to each other???
well cause it's two brothers living with each other
my dad's friend name is mr francis
i tell u....this guy can be the most holy person....and then the most horny person ( worst den kar sing :D )
first he talk abt playboys and playgirls etc.
den suddenly talking abt repentance and forgiveness
i was TRYING not to laugh at all man

after all the talking it was time to go
b4 we left , uncle francis showed me his 3 dogs
a golden retriever , a siberian huskey and a german shepherd
the siberian huskey was dam cute~~
sadly didn't take any photos of it...camera's battery died
he let out the german shepherd to run around the lawn
super fast man it run....mayb faster than usain bolt LOLL

reached back at the hotel at 7
showered , napped and off for dinner
went out with uncle francis to if i'm not mistaken a thai restaurant
food was AWESOME
*rating* - 7/10

after dinner went to my uncle's place which is in the middle of a jungle
I AIN'T JOKING ALLRIGHT!!!
i mean it...from the highway my cousin turned to a road that leads into a jungle
oh yea we needed my cousin to show the way since we don't noe how to get there =.=
so as i was saying
we were driving in the jungle for around 5 minutes when suddenly a big housing estate came into sight
the houses there were mostly semi d and bungalows but my uncle's was a terrace house ( sad T.T )

i met my other couz which is the older sister of the couz i met earlier
both of them were girls and they are like 20 years older then me =.=
the worst part which is everybody in that house was speaking hokkien ( i hate it the most )
at least my aunt was speaking cantonese
although i could understand partially only :D

i was praying to God for time to past by quickly
i tried many things to avoid talking with my aunt , uncle and cousins

like i said b4...the journey ain't that bad when u have ur mp3 wit u XP

from den on it was seating on a ride of death
i noe i kept asking my dad to go faster and overtake....but my mum....that's a different story =.=

when my dad went to sleep....she drive like siao wan man!!!
i counted the times which is 5...the times we almost bang the car coming in the opposite direction when overtaking
seriously....like in a ride to death!!
the moment my dad woke up....drive safe already =.=

we arrived at Kota Bahru at around 4.30 or so
the hotel we stayed in was called Renaissance
dont worry if u don't noe how 2 pronounce it....cause it is a French word
even i can't pronounce it properly =.=
now this is the true 5 star hotel :D
but it was dam freaking coold~~
also the main switch not working =.=
can control most of the lights , the air con....not to mention the air con was set at blast and yet can't control it
after unpacking had shower left for my aunt's house

her house has a badminton court ( how cool is that )
it is also the place where my aunt and uncle and their friends do lion dancing :P
both my aunt and uncle are talented musicians
my uncle plays piano by hearing and not by notes =.=

still so sad nid 2 do homework n blog =.=

Wednesday
woke up at 8.30
planned 2 leave at 9 o'clock
but as u noe malaysians and their inpunctuality....we left at 10

stop by at the McD in front of the genting entrance
mum ordered the meal which had the Olympic cup....but they ran out of stock
also there was a man selling honey...hu seriously couldn't shut his mouth up
he kept on saying
"mari mari honey sedap"
i tell u....i seriously wanted to go to that guy n slap him

hmm....seating in a car for 6 hours wasn't that bad....thanks to my mp3 :D
my dad let me borrow his headphone
let's hope someone will giv me a headphone for my birthday :P

we stopped by at a town called Chukai
went to a famous coffee shop which also had roti bakar
i tell u....the roti bakar there....110/100
dam nice....the bread was very crispy n the kaya was very very sweet =.=
got a picture of the roti bakar if i'm not mistaken
ordered a drink which i shouldn't had order
it was called "Lime Twister"
the WHOLE drink is made from lime....yea i mean WHOLE
saw the guy squeeze all the juice out
it was so so so so so sour i had 2 drink little sips at a time
took me a very long time jst 2 finish the drink

the coffee shop was open is 1948
the person hu opened the shop was there....
obviously as u guess he is a very old guy
he was staring at me all the time....dam scary man his face....like seeing dracula oni....cause his eyes were very red....bloody red
my dad talked wit him while my mum bought coffee beans from the stall
after talking my dad told my mum and i he was 95 years old =.="

b4 leaving Chukai....a building caught my attention
it was an old building....which i 100% am sure looked like Ipoh Parade
even the surrounding was alike
also....i saw a shop named
"Kedai Runcit Lee Chen" LOLL

after Chukai town it was a one lane highway all the way
i tell u....that highway is a place for cursing
i kept saying to my dad
"overtake overtake"
my dad's a freaking safe driver....jst like my bro
one time we got stuck behind a truck....we were traveling at 30 km/h
and all the cars behind us were overtaking n overtaking
at that time i wish i could drive cse i would hav overtaken that stupid lorry in jst a giffy

den we stop at a stall that sells all sorts of varieties of sotong
the shop is located jst by the highway
the worst part was the shop was located at the opposite direction =.="
imagine crossing a highway without a pedestrian bridge

reach Awana Kijal at around 5 p.m
the entrance was very nice...very very green
when we reached the lobby entranced...we saw a malay drum
4got what's the name but i hav the picture though
and at that time
I FINISH MY LIME TWISTER!!!
after a very very long time only did i manage to finish that FREAKING sour drink
it is 1 which i will NVR drink again
after drinking it my tongue was in much pain....it was also numb =.=
the building was so bigg

after unloading all the bags....got ready to go to the swimming pool n to the beach
it was SOO boring in the swimming pool
swimming alone ain't fun u noe
loneliness was one of the factor of y i was bored....another was i didn't bring any swimming equipments
yea sure ivan....pack in jst 5 minutes??? pack swimming suit no equipments
the bathing place was kinda funny....was 3...well donno how 2 describe it but i hav pictures so dont worry :P
i jst kept swimming frog style since my goggles were absent
tried swimming 1 lap of freestyle but eyes were very pain after that
so my eyes were painful looking underwater....so i tried closing my eyes and swim....and wht happen??? i banged my head onto the wall =.="
tis is a lesson to me - nvr AGAIN swim without goggles :D

after swimming it was off to the beach!!!
b4 i went to the beach i was filled wit anger cse of my dad's really slow driving
but the moment i saw the beach...all of that just *poof* away
it was the cleanest beach i had ever seen ( in malaysia )
the wind was cooling , the beach was clean , the sand was soft and the ocean's water was clear , cooling n refreshing....only thing missing is companionship
the sea's water wasn't that salty...and it doesn't mean i purposely drank it!!
the sand was soft and smooth
the sand nearest to the swimming pool had alot of kocoon ( how to spell )
it was painful since i was barefooted
it was such a nice place....i would say it was paradise but wasn't 100% fun when u have such a nice place n nvr get to share it with someone

jst sit in the sea and enjoy the waves
almost went into the sea with my glasses
my bro , aaron went into the sea with his glasses....the next moment the sea had claim his glasses ( the waves drag it to sea :P )
after that i did wht i like 2 do ever since i was a baby
build sandcastles!!!
well at 1st it was suppose 2 b a sandcastle....but plans change and soon it was a shape of a mini swimming pool
so i had an idea n i made a wall around the big hole i made
the finished result - the bird nest stadium LOLL
jst joking....but it WAS in a shape of a stadium
after building the so called "bird nest stadium"....i wanted 2 make a so called "water cube" :D
but it was getting late n my stomach was begging to be fed

i tell u...awana may be a 5 star hotel....but they gave us the 2 star apartment
the toilet i can give is 0 star....water so slow pressure
even the water host 2 wash legs had higher pressure!!!
after showering and everything....walk to the hotel lobby in search for restaurants
finally we settled down on a chinese restaurant
food was ok ok....nothing special abt it but still was nice :P
it was a happy moment when i saw my uncle there
he is the funniest uncle u can ever get ( maybe the horniest too :D )
haven't seen him for quite awhile...since his always at the oil rig
talk wit him till 10 p.m
on the way back to the hotel room we saw a cafe which was showing Olympics.....at that time it was 200m men
that Usian Bolt is one hell of a runner

went back at 11
slept early at 11.30 cse tomorrow leaving 4 Kota Bahru
wish could stay another day for the beach....so i hav 2 wait 4 a long time b4 i can go back to that beach again
