return!

I'm back and I hope you had a wonderful celebration ushering in the new years! Here are some of the pictures from the past few weeks I have been away.


New Year with a bang! Helloooo 2010!


Me looking like a crazy drunk spraying the snow aerosol on C's head.


Playing twister while awaiting the countdown.


Snowing in a tropical country!


64 slices of large pizza and a cake for C.


In Putrajaya!


Putrajaya Building of Justice or something liddat.


Random Korean Bulgogi thingy. RM 20! Phewww.


Went to the zoo. The animals looks miserable.


Held this python that weighed almost the same as me.


At I's birthday celebration (she's the one in black dress and red scarf).


I met Sherlock Holmes! (ignore the stupid pose, it was for some facebook competition).

Yep just a lot of celebration and travelling around town.Semester has started and the schoolbell has begun; 2 more years of university and then I am done studying! Will be posting more intellectual shit (hopefully, anyway) this year.

raya haji.

Been away because i went back to kampung (my grandparent's place) and babysitting my brother. Eghh. Here are a few pictures.


Best sweet and sour chicken rice!


Two generations. My grandfather is a hardworker yet he never gets his moneys worth.


My parents are a telenovela drama scene.



My uncle testing out some technology thingymabob to attract swiftlets.


At the beach. Jealous?






Trying to do a star-jump.


Random picture of pizza. Cheese is nice.

I realize I usually rarely elaborate more on life; perhaps I think the photos will suffice. At any rate, in case it interests you, I have finally finished reading The Diary of Anne Frank and Princess: A True Story of Life Behind The Veil; both non-fictions and depicting the life of real women. Anne Frank's diaries was translated into English - the form I read it - and even then it was almost as if I was looking through a window in her life at that particular time. It was so vivid, from rotten potatoes to having to be silent all the time. Princess - depicts the life of "Sultana" (alias), an Arabic princess of royal descendant and her oppresive life because she was born a female - chosen marriages, initial discouragement from education (asides the Koran), polygamy - this is told based on secret diaries and manuscripts given to an author.

It is always interesting to read stories and voices of people who write it based on their own experiences as you carry out a new perception of culture; war; love; religion, and so forth, in their world. So you should read autobiographical books which is always the best source of truth and clarity.

Weekend fun.

I had a rather adventurous weekend so I will break it up to two posts! On Friday noon, my bf took me to a nice little lunch at Chilli's. Thank goodness I didn't order the cajun chicken whatever it was because we ordered a burger and Triple Play thingy. We were both soooo full. Mm. Good fun, premade. American style.


"Tiny" burgers my ass. This was sooo good.


The Triple Play. Is that the right term? Or was that for TGIF?


Yeepp yepp all mine.


Tribute to the beautiful food.


Me! Bom cha cha.

Also went to KLCC on Saturday with plans of cheering up S who got into a nasty squabble with her bf (har har, what is up with us girls). We trudged around KLCC in the hot heat, jumping and sweating under the glare of the sun. I wanted to take a picture of the kiddy pool but the security guard thought I was a paedophile (???) and said "TAKLEH AMEK GAMBAR KALAU TAK BAWAK BUDAK" (cannot take your pictures here if you do not bring kids yourself). However a bunch of tourists were snapping away heavily and I pinpointed that to her and she rushed off. I don't think they understood her, however. Poor woman.


KLCC in all its glory during mid day heat.


I made him jump a few times. He jumps really high.


It was too hot to jump =P I love the fireworks-water display in the back.


S joins me.


Being a kidddd again. Got bitten by a lot of mosquitoes.



Khalil came by and wanted to be photographer. Unfortunately he did not change the ISO setting.


Me and S at the Deepavali display. Damnnn S is too skinny!!


Close up of the beautiful display.


We can't get the real cruise so the next best thing is a fake shot next to a Ralph Lauren boat.


Paparazzi!


We walked into Harrods. Surprised there wasn't a dress code! RM 16 for titchy strawberry cheese cakes and RM 50 for a box of toffee =(


Took this shot of the barista woman making Godiva's super overpriced RM 22 shake o_o. So surprised people buy this shit yo. But damn I do wanna taste it.

We went to the Signature food court in KLCC for some affordable meal. I spent RM 30 on the spaghetti oglio alio oglio oglio (whatever it's called), fried rice, deep fried chicken and a drink, wooo woo. Affordable huh.

S enjoys her meal. Delicious kebab!


My nasi goreng belacan. Yummm.


Fatty deep fried chicken. Now you know why my thighs jiggle the way they do.




Spaghetti aaaglio ooolio aaaaglio.


Yummm. Ignore my greasy hair/face.

If you're in KL or you ever plan to come here, just spend 5 minutes standing in front of the LV shop like a bunch of dorks and see if the wall pattern doesn't jump out at you. I took a picture of it but it's not the same =( You have to go there, it's like a Kandinsky painting, it'll just suck you right in. Too much for your eyes to handle.



We ended the day by paying homage to the Tugu Negara (national monument). Unfortunately we arrived a wee bit late, we were trekking the pathway to the statue when we heard trumphets. They had closed the gates and were taking down the flag. I got goosebumps and felt honoured to be a Malaysian. Imagine how many lives were sacrificed for the better of the country.


Boo to fence shots. To the honourary dead.




Katak shots!


In Ampang with some of my close friends.


Remote control failing.


<3 this shot. Radhead.


Random shot of meee.

Oooppps it's been a long post. I'll end with this photo of me. Nobody believes that I have ever met the Beatles =)


*See, I really did meet the Beatles!
