recap?

so it's way after the holidays. aunt ju had her xmas party at her place, n v had a marvelous meal. had fun with kat, mel, kristy n kevin. basically, this holidays kinda holds a lot of 1st-times for me. tat day, 22nd dec, was the 1st time i ever met aunt joyce n her family. met her hubby, uncle stanley, the kids, amy, yvonne n tricia. somehow, they kept more to themselves, with oni aunt joyce mixing around with the rest of the family. uncle terence came too, with his mom, and the rest of the party was attended by me n mom, grandparents, uncle kenny n family, aunt ju n hubby, uncle john teh n family n kevin n mom. well, u can say it was the usual crowd, with the addition of aunt joyce n co. but i'm not complaining.

the next day, me, kat, mel n kevin went to KLCC. well..... i wont say it was a disaster, coz it's not, but, it's kinda the 1st time someone ever tried a makeover for me... omg. *might post pics up after getting them from kevin* but, yeah, after getting over the 'shock' of the makeover, it's kinda enjoyable. well, at least i'm not the oni one to get a makeover... :P

no choice but to go back to sban on 24th. met up with uncle john yoong (yeah, ANOTHER uncle john) n family. saw aunt sue pandy n sean n aveen for the 1st time. they were nice, but dinner was kinda awkward i'm afraid. one thing i'm thankful for, is that uncle tuck n family showed john n the others around. sometimes, i'm so embaressed to call myself a sban person, seeing as i dont even know sban very well... =.="

26th brought another 1st time for me. 1st time tyh offered to treat me to a movie. WOW! seriously? it's shocking, very! but maybe i shouldn't make such a big deal about it. oh ya! it's the 1st time i met joanne too! the joanne i've heard so much about. haha. N she turns out to be yc's AUNT. honestly, i wont want a nephew who is same age as me, n borned on the same day as me. gosh!

27th, dim sum breakfast, n david goon came. he actually came. wow. (sacarsm) but it was nice to actually chat with him. i kinda miss him, really. n i learnt some dirty little family secrets. haha... :P

n today, 28th, woke up early to cook breakfast for mom n pn wo... which is cool, oni it was EARLY. dunno y, couldn't really sleep well last night.. :( but at least i went back to sleep after that. well, the thing on my mind right now, is about tmr. HP asked me to go to her place for a party, presumely for her bro's pending wedding. should i, or should i not go?

p/s: merry ex-mas (Tay, 2007) n happy new year to everyone! :)

aunt Ju n hubby are back! and that means...... a FEAST!! therefore, this year, we invited the whole clan over for an early xmas party...

the party is scheduled on the 22nd, and my friends are invited to come, if they will... :P seriously, if u guys wanna come, i dun mind going over to the LRT train station n pick u guys up... i'll even give u a place to sleep at night... :)

so, i'm really looking forward to this party, mainly coz of the food, and the company... talking about the food, the menu is as follows:

Smoked salmon
Roasted pork English style
Chicken wings
Lamb stew
Sheppard's pie
Roasted leg of lamb English style
Mashed potatoes
Roasted root vegetables
Stir-fry kailan
Christmas pudding

i think, as of now, this is it... :)

btw, went shopping with mom today at KLCC. managed to get 2 pairs of jeans, and 3 tees. all for less then $200. nice.... i finally got new clothes to go with my new look, and now, all that's lacking is a nice pair of shoes. actually, i saw this real cool pair at Everbest, but they din have my size.. in fact, the smallest size they have is a size 10. :( wat a pity!

grouchy

elo peeps! i'm backkkkkkkkkkkk!!!
well, u see, Laura landed herself in the goddamn hospital. all coz of a mosquito bite. i don't think many of you ppl out there noe this, but i was down with dengue fever. fever that wont go away, low platlet count...... the thing is, despite the red rashes that appear on my body, my blood test still came up negative for the dengue test.... weird, eh? so basically, i spent 5 days in the friggin hospital... not that the nurses there weren't alright, but it's just that, I HATE THE HOSPITALS!! i mean, visiting dad in IJN last year was suffer enough, and now, it's MY turn pulak??! omg! seriously? i dislike that place... the only times that were bearable, were the times when mom n dad were there, and occasionally, a visit from my frenz... the other times, were spent staring at space, spacing out, sleeping n occasionally brooding. i was so supposed to go MLK on 15/16 dec.... but end up i cant go. SUCKS. i really really really wanted to go..... ARGH! GODDAMNMIT!! I WANNA GO MELAKA!! f*** f*** f***.....
i tell u, i can go on & on & on about this cz I REALLY WANTED TO GO!!! :(
gosh... my one n only plan AWAY from kl n sban, and i cant go... :( sucks. looks like my holidays are confined to kl n sban, just like normal schooling days, the only difference being that i dont have to study during this period. GOD!! i feel so pathetic... 4 mths of holidays, n i'm acting the same as during NON holidays...
sometimes, i rather have a shorter holiday, but go to other places. i dun ask for much, just perhaps, a trip down South, a trip up North. at least, somewhere to the South of sban, and North, away from kl. sigh. this is my holidays. KL - Sban - KL - Sban...........
i'm full of grouses today, but, sometimes, i cant help but feel kinda envious. i mean, hearing my frenz go here, go there.... and all i do, is travel to n fro kl - sban..... yucks! i mean, i nvr even went to mlk.... wth!!

long overdue

we celebrated grandma's bday on the 2nd dec. we went to this chinese restaurant 'Six Happiness', near grandparents' place. between us, we discussed the menu, and finally decided on: fish, pork, chicken, yam ring, vegetables, shark's fin, longevity noodles and the longan/white fungus dessert. aunty layling baked a 'high fiber cheese cake'. YUM! this is truly a sinful indulgence. :P truly like this cake.

(P/s: i think blogger got problem uploading pics. been trying so hard to upload the pix. :( so i guess another time ba.... )

i'm depressed. kinda. let's see... i've gotten my results on thursday 29th nov. to my utter horror n shock, i actually failed 1 subject. ok. so it's not such a big deal, seeing that there are others out there who have also failed. the big deal about this failing, is the fact that, this is the 1st time i'm failing, on record no doubt. ok fine, so there is this 1 time i failed my chinese monthly test in march 2004, but den again, chinese is not my forte, and 95% of the class was cheating anyway.

but that failure is not wat i want to talk about, or rather, rant about. knowing about my failure, the big 'N' on my transcript, was, IS a big blow to my self-esteem, my confidence, my pride. and i just realized, i'm PROUD. i mean, proud as in, there is always a certain image i wish to project into people's minds, and i never ever voluntarily shown any weakness to anyone in public. so i might break down in the comfort of my room or bath stall, but never in public. no matter how much it hurts, i always, always blink away the tears. i laugh off the hurt, i might stalk away in angry, i might be goddamn sarcastic or hurting in my statements, but i never, ever, show my pain n hurt.

'hunt or be hunted' is the Law of the Jungle. for me, it's 'hurt or be hurt'. tat's why i dun show much emotions. perhaps the occasion burst of anger, but never sorrow. i wave it off with a flick of the hand. but, the more nonchalant i look or portray, the more i truly care about that issue. the more i say i dun care, the more i care.

the failure thing sank in after sometime. i admit, i did cry myself to sleep, for a short while that night. but that is the past. i'm moving on, using this as a wake up call. this would serve well as a lesson, not to be too cocky, too proud, and never ever do my revisions last minute. so studying is a goddamn boring thing to do at times. but i don't ever want to fail anymore. i HATE failing. my ego, my pride cannot allow myself to fail anymore. it's time to put my brain to good use. i guess. :P
