Yvonne's Wet 18th Birthday

who says the birthday girl was spared from getting wet? we were drenched from head to toe!

yesterday was Miss Yvonne Lee Xie Phei's 18th birthday..and we sure celebrated it in style!

woke up at 8 yesterday..as usual, i was kelam-kabut...luckily I wasn't too late when yvonne arrived to pick me up..

after picking everyone up, (me, Steph, Kha Hoi, Michelle and Min Yee), yvonne drove all the way to Sunway..

yvonne bought the tickets for the wet and dry park..initially we planned to go to the dry park itself but the ticket operator said that no matter what ,we still have to buy both of them.

RM 48 plus deposit RM 10 per person..

chucked our stuff in the RM 5 locker..(so bloody expensive)

headed for the wet park 1st,since if we get wet, there'll still be time to dry our wet clothes when we go on the rides in the dry park.

Min Yee, Kha Hoi, Michelle and I went on the water slides..there was one that I called the "black hole" as it was so freaking dark inside and we kept bumping the slide ! and then out of the blue we were just thrown out of the hole and phoosh! into the water..no warning at all! I was sitting in the front and I was cursing my choice as I got drenched more than Min Yee! i guess the momentum or inertia or whatever crap physics theory dealt the 1st blow on me..I suffered the full impact of the water!

but it was like an adrenaline rush..and I was wondering if we go more on those slides will we lose more carbs or something..since there's something in bio that says..nevermind. =P
(i still get science facts stuck in my head and I tend to blurt it out to my friends =X)

i was screaming all the way...!
then there was this surfboard thingy..there were six lanes..each of us took one lane..and down we went! that was the worst..i think..hmm, not. there was one more in the dry park ..."dry" kononnya, but all I saw was water!

I cant remember the names of the rides..they have some "glamourous" name like Niagara Falls Flume something..or I dont remember.lol. i was too busy having a blast.

no pictures taken there as Min Yee's camera is not waterproof..
saw lots of droolicious ang-mohs..
there were some rides that Min Yee,Steph and I didn't dare to go on..they looked insanely-scary!
but the adventurous trio (Michelle, Kha Hoi and Von) kept insisting it wasn't as scary as it looked..whatever! i'm not going for a 360 degrees spin with the machine dangling me in air.
yes, i'm a 'kia si" person. (scared to die)

the pirate ship and the tomahawk were no-no's for us three scaredy cats. too bad the lost city of gold was shut down for maintainence.

done with all the rides and badly sundrenched, (well me,not them), we went for a quick shower. Stomachs pleading to be filled, we settled down in Wendy's for some fast food.
Bought yvonne's present while Steph was keeping her distracted =P
it was a necklace and a soft toy.

then while me and Steph were keeping yvonne distracted, the other 3 secretly bought a cake from Zen. chocolate marshmellow cheese.

walked around aimlessly..saw rose in the skating rink..i half-regretted my decision to go to sunway lagoon..altogether i had to fork out about rm 70 in order to go to the wet park! should've joined rose in the skating rink. =P

received a call from the dudes...they were seated comfortably in italiannies already...*grr* didn't wait for us. so we went there and discovered that they've ordered their own food. something like gotta catch up with an appointment later . we girls ordered a large platter of chicken parmagiana..it was meant for sharing..thats what the italiannies motto says..so nice! so good! so share! hahahaha..what a good gimmick!

furthermore, we ordered the smoked salmon pizza..i know it comes with note:gross onions but who cares? i can close one eye on the onions as it is ITALIAN food! god knows i love italian food and jap food the most! =D *this is one of the primary reasons why I'm rarely slim and never thin*

the waiter served us some freshly-baked Italian bread..it came in two baskets with two servings of vinegar and olive oil. there were two types of bread: wholemeal and non-wholemeal. Mmmm,Yum, their wholemeal bread was nothing like those hard-rock typical wholemeal breat. and also the taste is so...enticing. The aroma of the bread just makes your nose twitch. LOL. why am i promoting the bread? i'm sure all ITALIAN bread are as nice as this. maybe some even nicer.

the smoked salmon was not bad too. it has a thin crust and is delicately crispy. not too cheesy and the salmon was a little raw,just the way i like it. did i say that i find smoked salmon more enjoyable then grilled salmon? grilled salmon makes the meat..rougher..sort of.

luckily,they sprinkled the onions on top of the pizza,and not like inserted them inside the pizza.or else i will have to use my finger to pick.that will make me look sort of rude.
the chicken parmiagana comes with a huge helping of tomatoes. great! again just how i like them. the tomatoes had a tangy flavour and not entirely sour, with some cheesy flavour and a hint of spices such as oregano and basil. the chicken was not deep-fried but more like a bit grilled. accompanied with pasta and a top layer of mozarella cheese. i ignored the onions..or were there onions? o.O

after main course,it was time for dessert. and we know whats on the menu. choc marshmellow cheese cake! min yee, KH and michelle pretended to go to the ladies in order to ask the waiter to bring the cake in...i think yvonne was genuinely surprised.good thing that she did not turn behind or she would've seen the cake..and ruin our surprise..so when the cake was set on the table..we sang the HB song..blew out the candles..fast forward..lol..divided the cake.each person had a slice. yum i love marshmellows! they are soft and spongy and me and Steph were wondering what would it taste like after being roasted.we should try it out sometime,maybe.

steph hated the cheese. i was ok with the cheese. overall i like the cake as they had a bottom crust where it tasted like cookies crumbs. after finishing everything up, took some photos which are..eherm with min yee..went home in yvonne's car..thats it for the day..curtains closing...tada..

P.S: thanks to bear gor (brother bear lol) for the bear present.
P.P.S: i got sunburnt *curses*

i'm guilty until proven innocent

that doesn't sound right! should be innocent until proven guilty..but right now.i'm under the blogger community's scrutiny..not updatin for two weeks is as guilty as CHARGED! lol..

therefore to plead my case and to prove my innocence, I'm submitting a tag as sufficient evidence to prove that laziness is not my main reason for not updating. instead, the accused pleads not guilty to the charge for the reason that :

1.she has no topics worth updating [yes,thats how boring her life is ..at the moment]
2.she is occupied with other tasks [such as checking hotmail,facebook, IM-ing etc etc]

The accused hopes that there will be more topics to blog on later, or everyday,for that matter. Next sat probably? jimuii-s we gonna meet again! xD

saturday night fever

as I had mentioned in the previous post, i would be having 3 very tiring, energy-sapping, eyebag-stimulating nights. I wasn't wrong as it turned out to be later than I expected!

went for the joyians reunion as promised on friday nite..before that kar lin and kah yerng accompanied me to mid valley to get my new purse..ended up buying ROXY again as I have a 38 bucks voucher. furthermore, i really fancied the purse...most of my friends commented that it's too big, but i guess its suits me perfectly as I've a tall frame,broad shoulders,definitely not your average size zero girl, a big bag, thick hair...and alot more..i guess my life's all XL! =(

it has a glossy finish , and those who know me well would understand how much i adore those shiny stuff. yes diamonds too. =) but later in life la. xD

after the little excursion to midvalley, my dad fetched us to hou kee in yulek. i freaking despise the sound system. i mean they have these speakers like in shopping malls,where they will go,...
"dear shoppers, we're closing soon, please leave the shopping mall, blah blah". there are actually people notifying customers to park their car properly, and not behind some agitated fella who's honking desperately. so its kinda annoying, and the announcer probably didn't have the same dreamy,sweet voice like those in jusco and parkson,etc.

the food's okay overall, I cant help but feel maybe this place's a lil' overrated. their food definitely not my cup of tea, but so -so la. this restaurant's crowded man! either there are not many chinese restaurants around that area or the customers there like salty and oily food. no offence=X

after dinner, sat von's new MYVI back to rose's crib. the others have not reached her house yet,so rose took us for a short drive in her honda city. ehlehh envy-nya. haha.

spent a shortwhile at rose's house,then some went back, the remaining people went to yi fei's house in segar perdana. the road was kinda complicated. i'm not good with directions. =(

yi fei's parents were really gracious to invite us in, even though we were kinda rude, sudden arrival of a big bunch of kids (kiddos pulak lol) at an inappropriate time (11.00 pm).
the house was really neat and clean, and decorated with antique..
there's a huge glass cabinet specially for wine..and I know min yee's a good drinker..but she dont have to be so excited rite.=P

went back home at 12 something. i could hardly open my eyes. -.-

still have to crawl out of bed next morning and go to work what. =.=|

after work on sat, went home in a jiffy and popped up at kar lin's place the next hour.
haha ! i'm early for once,no lah xD

kar lin's open house was a tad different from others..she had a vegetarian buffet! three cheers for kar lin because i was overeating meat ,and this means I might expand even faster . =\
but the vegetarian dishes were rather delicious and suited my tastebuds =)

choon yik and yi fei were already there when I reached..how early =.=|
while eating, kar lin's so-called tuition friends arrived.they were very quiet and shy..come on...i thought guys rule the party...and we girls were yakking all the way...i guess the world has changed =/

played blackjack for a while..then chor dai di..when the clock struck 10, we gathered together to celebrate kar lin's 5-days-earlier birthday ..lol..u know what..allow me to let u guys in on one secret..she bought a POWERPUFF GIRLS tiramisu cake! haha bet she will be mad at me when she sees this *teehees*

after that ,some of the guys started to leave *no fun*. we girls stayed behind and then played blackjack with her aunt and her cousin, i think. accordin to junn lym, her cousin is a pro! O.O *intimidated* my luck was changing as far as the weather =.=

as the clock struck midnight,cinderella's parents ringed her up and told her to go home..in a pumpkin...lol..fairytale-obsessed..xD
but cinderella felt the night was still young.
when cinderella's parents arrived to fetch her,kar lin's dad came out and invited them in for a drink. *eherm drink doesn't mean coffee or tea*

then we girls(me,kar lin and kah yerng) switched on the karaoke machine and started singing the roofs off! paisehh..i was havin a sore throat that day..so u people were forced to listen to unpleasant music..lol..

u know what...we sang till 3.30..im surprised the neighbours never lodged a police complaint..xD
then remembered about the liverpool game and watched torres score the winner! yay!

that sums up my sat nite..

3 late nights

i'll be having three late nights consecutively from tomorrow onwards..

tomorrow its the joyians reunion aka lou sang dinner in hou kee restaurant, yulek..

sat is kar lin's cny open house + early birthday celebration

then sunday i've to work til 10 pm to replace the 3 hours from tomorrow..as i'll be leavin earlier than usual..goin to mid valley to buy a new purse..

no doubt that i'll be SUPER sleepy by next monday..

on the "bright" side, received my 1st paycheck today...

although its a miserable 583 bucks...lol..

cos i missed quite a chunk of this one month for work

thats why they deducted it as non-pay leave from my basic salary,which is 900..

and I didn't complete the full 26 working days per month, so no service point =(

anyway looking forward to next month's paycheck! xD

P.S:decided on STPM for now. i'm so indecisive nowadays.especially when it comes to my studies. more is not better. lol i've too many choices so its hard to pick. dilemmas plague me day by day, as I wade through my pond of problems. people, help me pls! comments on whether i should go for STPM or A-levels in TAR college. Do not even mention Taylors. Beyond my money..lol

sorry for the delay folks! am going to make it up to y'all with 4 delicous posts! =D

Here's what happened the past one week :

Chinese New Year Eve:

reunion dinner with the family tree! =D with all the yi ma gu jie =P
as usual, girls do something they are best at: picture session!

i adore my dress!

okay,seriously,i have no idea what my hair was trying to suggest ==|

couzzies! i forced her to take this one...*grins* sleepy eyes again! WTH~
yee sang! for prosperity, longevity and health! sorry cow foo, ur the background in this pic~
and this too! this dish is the yin yang chicken.. i assumed yin yang are complete opposites. it puzzles me why both are deep fried.

had our reunion dinner at Gee Ann Restaurant. the food's so-so, though I dont particularly like the sharkfin soup (or broth?). it is a little too mild for my liking. then my cow mou (aunt) [purposely put the cow cos its moo moo year!] added some vinegar for me. too sour now! aiks
the four happiness(or whatever it is called) is quite sumptuous.

chicken (too oily and crispiness gone). otherwise,everything's edible..lol...as usual, chinese pancakes(with the kaya filling) and cold dessert (tong sui) as the final dishes...

went home,watched the MERSEYSIDE DERBY ....aww liverpool drew! grr hate it when they draw...complete frustration! gah

1st day of CNY (chor yat)
Miss ~~Turning to obese~~ *argghhh*

let the angpows flow! lol woke up quite late due to fatigue and

~~depression~~ from watching the merseyside derby..

reached popo (grandma)'s house at about 2.30 pm...everybody's eaten except us..as usual..

ate the must-have "zai choi" , Hakka style with lots of "lam yu" (the red thingy) .

received the 1st round of angpows *hehehehe* *bows with lots of arigatou*

came back home with my cousin in tow..elder ..not younger..i made it sound like she's younger than me..

watched the devil wears prada..now if the devil wears prada..then i'm bound to be a future devil! =X

dinner , same venue..different dishes..the traditional bak zham kai (white chicken?lol) and siu yuk (roasted pork?) were the dishes that greeted our hungry stomachs...

2nd day of CNY (chor yee)

went to dai cow mou's and dai cow foo's house to bai nin~ i'm using a huge chunk of cantonese here!

with my couzzie u'll never catch ur breath. lol. its either shopping, swimming or movies.

this time its movies. madagascar 2. the move it is infectious!

definitely a LOL movie..especially the scene where the giraffe(issit?) expressed his undying love for the female hippo. "Gloria,i've always loved u!" with the "sau nga" effect when their plane was plummeting towards disaster.

borrowed brokeback mountain from her...heath ledger(RIP) is so dashing! omg those deep eyes of his..jake gyllenhaal is not bad too...

3rd day of CNY (chor sam)

Rose's house! for reunion of besties!

before going out...

poser and her roxy bag..

my brand new roxy bag! look at how it shines! =D luv it to the max

went to mid valley to buy a bag(with no particular brand/shape/pattern/size) in mind. ended up stumbling upon this roxy bag and fell in love with it at 1st sight!

arrived slightly late(haha will try to change this habit) at rose's house . my buddies have finished their dinner and was chatting with joshua..the psychology dude...i joined them...then rose waited for me to finish my dinner..and then the round of card games started! rose's mum was the banker..we played blackjack,heart attack...didn't play cho dai di thou. its one of my fav. as our punishment (if we exceed 21 for blackjack), we have to drink alcohol! all sorts..absolut vodka, whisky, even red wine! i drank whisky plus soda(joshua told me it was kinda diluted). no wonder it tastes nice. lol. maybe my taste buds was detecting soda taste all the time and I thought whisky was that nice to drink! steph and min yee disliked the vodka..

sarah, rose's friend brought her mac book and invited us for an "exclusive" photoshoot session lol. really cool! all the effects plus the energy, creativity and enthusiasm of us girls made the pictures look great. sarah has yet to add me on facebook so getting my hands on the pictures will take some time. =(

then there was an excursion to the park lol. me, steph, min yee, rose(in drunk state), sarah, joshua, andrew,rose's bro and bicycle =D and a few other unknowns. haha.

proven drunk: rose fooling with the monkey bars.she was swinging back and forth and doin chin-ups.rose?doing chin-ups?!

then the other adults were also playing like they've gone back on a time machine to babyland...xD

maybe they were all drunk lol..

went back at 11 +....luckily for me I'll only start work at 3 the next day.

major hangover the next day. =/

6th day of CNY (chor luk)
