Field Trip!

I don't think there's anyway we can describe how bad Mr. James is at lecturing.

After dragging for weeks, we finally made our move!

Chosen:
1. Sushi Kin
2. Carrefour
3. Subang Parade
4. Digi
5. POPULAR
6. One World Hotel
7. CIMB

Sent the first 3 permission letter by hand, second 3 by mail, and the last one is backup.

We went to the post office which is conveniently beside our college!!
Amy & Priya learned something new~
They learned how to buy stamps, send letters, and to queue at the post office... lol

After we sent the letters, we headed back to college, got the map from Googles on how to get to Sushi Kin head office, and off we go~~

It took us some time to get there...

First we go lost, so we make a turn somewhere after passing the place near CES.

Next we drove around the area until my mobile navigators found a way to get us 'found'.

After that we had to go through the 'cat road' (don't ask why is it call the 'cat road', you don't wanna know...), twice. T.T Poor kitty.

Then, we had to drive passed the 'terrible road', twice too. It was full of bumps and holes and made our teeth clatter, our heads bobbing, and our bodies shaking throughout the whole journey. *Urgh. I hate it. really, really hate it.*

Finally, after a turn at a junction we saw our destination, Can you imagine how happy we were? :D

The Building that houses the Sushi Kin HQ~~

lol

First time entering a cooperate building like this, without an adult... The parking lot was full, so the guard made us to park somewhere at a corner... Then, we had to register and let the guard to check our temperature (H1N1!)

Priya passed, I passed, but not Amy cause she was too hot~ :D So we waited for a while to let the girl to cool down first and check again. This time she passed~ :3 We checked for the map and located Sushi Kin, it was at first floor, so off we went up the stairs~

Sushi Kin's entrance was kinda cute~ With the fishies hanging on the shiny glass door and the restaurant sticker on it as well~~ :D

The interior was pretty welcoming, though that can't be sure until we are accepted for the interview...

There wasn't a receptionist so we passed the letter of permission to a lady nearest to the entrance... And these two decided to try out the sanitizer at the entrance...

'Bla-bla-bla-bla (I forgot) The HR will contact you,' she said.

Ok... We'll wait. Hopefully the one they contact is Priya or Amy... xD

One letter down!! And so we left~ That's my car~~ :P

Next stop, Carrefour!!

Although I've been there shopping zillion times with my mum before, I never knew where was the head office, until, today. The lady at the customer service informed us to go down to the basement and take the lift to reach there...

'Basement...?'

Hmmm...

Going down~ At first we just stood on the escalator, discussing about the sad location of the HQ... Then Amy started about her car ticket going to expire in less than an hour's time, we realized that it'd be faster if we walk... =.=

Squeezing through 2 closely-parked-to-each-other-car~~ Amy had no problem, but Priya ada sikit masalah... lol

In the basement, the sign guided us throughout the whole HQ searching journey... Though, why basement...? >.>lll

Finally there~ But not before another H1N1 scan before we used the lift~~ The HQ looks pretty nice inside, but I might change my opinion if they reject us... :)

Saya sihat hari ini saja. The sticker the guard gave us before we enter the HQ~
Passed the letter to the lady at the receptionist and another mission accomplished~~ :D

Last stop, Subang Parade~~ These 2 lazy bums wanted to use the tunnel cause they say it was nearer, not when we got out of it and saw that we still have to walk.

Reached Subang Parade after a short walk under the scorching sun. The one we asked for the location of the HQ at the information counter didn't know where it is and had to ask another guy to tell us.

Pathetic. Aren't you supposed to know where it is?

We went to the topmost level at the end and looked for the HQ, but all we saw was Parkson, until Amy spotted the entrance which blends with the watch shop beside it on the other side of the mall. Passed the letter to the guy with another 'we'll call you'.

All done! Wheeeeeeeee~~ In less than 2 hours~~ Oh wait, there's more! Sad sad Priya never been to a sushi restaurant before so we took her to Sushi Kin to try it~~

Big Apple donuts!! :3 While waiting for the sushi to be served, Priya and I raced to Big Apple to grab some donuts~ Lovely lovely lovely Duren duren is lovely!! :P The rest are chocolate!!

Chocolate's the best!! :3

And we're back at college around 12:30~~ That was fast! xD What a day. And now I know how to pass a letter to the HQ!

Boss Defeated

And so I passed.

Finally.

Yes.

Waited for quite some time. By the time it was my turn, I had finish reading 70% of 《这些年,二哥哥很想你》

The JPJ stationed at the Bukit was extremely nice. He told us to relax and joked with us for a bit. Later on, he even helped some candidates to pass the hill test. I was very happy and felt more confident the moment I saw him giving others as much as 3 chances to redo.

And I passed the hill test smoothly.

Next, the parking test. No more stupid mistake like last time. And I'm aware that I can reverse my car if I know I'm going to hit the hateful white line. Last was the three-point-turn.

Passed with some efforts. The clutch of the car I got was harder than Andy's (my instructor) car. I had to released the whole thing only did the car start moving. Knowing myself as the genius... (I'm losing my head again)

By the time I reached the office at PJ, I finished the 351-paged novel.

好感人哪... Puma 死的时候我好想哭喔... 嗨... 讨厌,让我想起我家小黄和那命不长的 Fluffy。 很温馨,浪漫,动人肺腑又真实的一本小说。

Celebrating my victory in KFC, with a Alaskan Fish Burger (Where the hell did the salsa sauce went?!?!) and a manga (Magic Knight Rayearth, CLAMP's art is amazingly gorgeous) and Giddens' 《这些年,二哥哥很想你》

Lalala!! Mei Yee's not working at the colgate department anymore. She's giving out free oatmeal sample. Bumped into her a few times as she works. Met her days ago...

Final volume of Code Geass R2. Childhood trio.

Priceless.

Suzaku accepting the pink sword and looking traumatised and angst is absolutely priceless. Sunrise refused to show us his troubled side in the anime, no?

Guess we'll never see Lelouch looking like a man. C.C.'s dress is just gorgeous. Curse you Sunrise for not using this design for C.C. in the last few episode. I love Ricca for the amazing colouring skills, and Takahiro's beautiful style.

Anticipating CLAMP's artwork for the DVD box cover.

I'm just OH-SO-HAPPY when madam Mok told me that they can certified my certs. for the application for the full tuition waiver, which is RM7,999. That means I don't have to go through all the trouble for getting them certify in Taman S.E.A..

Ok, fine, I live so near to the school that it barely takes 5 minutes to reach there. But I don't want to meet certain teachers there. For the notorius thing whom you're so-familiar-that-you-want-to-forget-about-coz-it-gives-you-nightmares-everynight, he's one of them.

Another one which I absolutely want to avoid is Pn Faridah. That woman never taught me before. But I really despise her. Reason? There's something wrong with her. I could still remember it well. I was absent from the 'Blah-blah-blah-Kecemerlang-Day', I didn't receive my cert, so my mum went to the office to get it for me, but she didn't get it.

So I went to collect it the following day. And she (that hypocrite) looked at me in such a way as if I'm a convict murder asking for help. She said,

'Why did you send your mum to come? She was so scared that she was shaking when she came.'

And there I stood, dumbfounded and totally confused. My mum shaking? My mum scared? I can't imagine. I just can't. Why would she be scared? Shaking? Not possible. You gotta be joking. My mum and I had a good laugh at her when I told her.

Ah well, some people are just 'disgusting'.




You Are the Leader



You are inspiring and uplifting. You bring out the best in people, through both nurturing and challenging them.

You always can see the big picture in life. You are very philosophical and deeply spiritual.

You understand people, and you can look at their lives objectively. You can help others grow and heal.

People feel comforted by your presence. You help them gain perspective on their lives.



Interesting.

No? Ouch. SHIT!

Yesterday got knocked out by a motorbike.

'Oh, SHIT!! A motor!!'

'Hey, I'm spinning.' (I actually went, Oooh, I'm spinning. You know, that kind of fascinated type of oohh...) Pathetic. Now I know how it feels like when things spin around you.

'Ouch, my head hurts' (I think it hit the road twice.)

Got bruised everywhere...

Some more got scolded like hell...

*sighs*

衰运!!

T.T

Luckily:
My face was unscratched,
My camera was still functioning (lol, I was holding it when I practically rolled everywhere...),
My handphone wasn't with me in my pocket (Imagine what would happen to those two dangling outside my pocket, Karen looks shabby enough and the 'fox' has enough wounds and scars already, one eye missing and an ear in my accessories box)

Then, today failed half the driving test...

Waited like hell from 7am to 3pm only did they called my number.

Passed the road test with a score of 17/20.

Failed the circuit one, fated-ly.

A lot of IF involved.

1st, IF when the first time I got up the hill perfectly, the JPJ got my bloody record paper, I won't have to redo the whole thing. And higher chance that won't happen...

2nd, IF the blind instructor didn't instructed me to go to the P2 lot, I would definitely avoid that problem. P2 wasn't vacant at all. I hesitated, and panicked what to do, which I shouldn't be panicking at all... T.T

3rd, IF I got my paper early, I won't have to wait, and thus those things wouldn't happen.

命中注定。

妈呀。

I am SO ANGRY with myself, for making that STUPID mistake.

But I got to make friends... A type of compensation?

Tomorrow for the oral I know what to talk about... Though I haven't prepare at all.

Spontaneous lor...

Spent the whole day there...

Die ah...

The Malaysian Studies need to burn midnight oil.... I think I'm typing crap most of the time...

Ps: GC, I can picture what you're gonna say.

Part Of Life

Not enough sleep these days...

The day before yesterday, we took the bus home. As usual, we waited at the bus stop with quite a number of people. And the bus arrived early. We gathered our things, and moved on along with the people waiting for it as well.

Looking at the bus, I frowned.

This bus is fast.
It's signal light isn't on.
It's not slowing down, at all.
It's not in the right direction.
It's still moving at a constant velocity.
There's no sign of de-acceleration.

And hey, it just sped passed us.

'WHUT?!'

Everyone stared at it with disbelieve.

'Was that 623?'

'It was!'

'ok....'

*And the bus stopped in front of the traffic light not far ahead*

A guy asked his friend, 'you wanna run?'

'You want?'

'I dunnoe...'

*silence stretches*

'Let's run.'

There they went.

'Let's run also...'

There we go.

We caught the bloody bus, out of breath, our muscles all seized up. We found our seats and sat down. Later, while we're cooling down and grumbling about the driver, we saw another 623 speeding side by side with our bus.

Another 'WHUT?!'

And then , both 623s stop at the same bus stop, and we're told to get off this bus and take the other one. Reason, our driver was late and he has to rush.

*tsk tsk*

And yesterday, I had another four hours of driving lesson. And I drove all the way from PJ to Puchong Prima!! Learned how to park my car, 3 point turn, and going up the hill... LOL It only took me about 30 minutes to get back from taking my time to take a look at the exam route and going back from Puchong to PJ. According to my mum, that's the average time a competent driver takes...

Maximum speed? 70km/hour ++ XD I'm so brave.

My keychain. A distraction.

Micro-econs! Can bananas raise my IQ? hmmm...

Something I must say. 云南白药 is extremely useful! Well, not in treating any injuries of our bodies, but of this:
Ingenious. There was something wrong with the flap and I stuffed the box of it there to support it. Now you know another way to use it.


Lalala~~ Picture Drama Turn 19.02 is out!!! Wish the sub will come out fast... This PD exceptionally special...

And we go, the usual gay ghey hair cut, smile and etc.

I'm still very curious. What made Lelouch thinks that it's appropriate to give a boy, his brother (fake one though), a heart-shaped locket... And the candles and flowers... *coughs for laughing until out of breath* He actually prepared candles and flowers to celebrate a boys' birthday?! *ROFL*

Hmm... I don't know why... But a lot of fans think that he's being a house-wife in this scene... One thing I have to agree, he's really androgynous in this scene!

First thought: Oh, a hair-cut!
Second thought: In the middle of the woods?!
I can almost imagine Rolo saying:

'Nii-san, how long do we still have to go? This chair is heavy...'

*continues ROFL*

A scene which is less out of the blue... Image edited by me. *In desperate need of Photoshop* The fact that their having a hair cut in the middle of nowhere still haunts me... In overall, it's a very angst PD that Bandai made just to troll us, again.

Wabbit

Started the class at 12.30pm. Our instructor mumbled throughout our lesson. We couldn't recognize his hand writing either. We noticed that we seemed to be the most animated students in the room. Chatting silently behind. Not too loud, not to soft either...

We had our break at 1.40. That was early. Went back at 1.05. Started sketching on my well-prepared blank book... That helped killing time... We had a laugh on our drawings... LOL Another hour gone like that...

Then we're given time for a break again. I was getting the feeling that we're getting a break every one hour. At the rate we're going, we might not even finish the whole thing before 8. Then we waited at the spot we're supposed to. We waited. Waited, waited, and waited, patiently. And damn it, it was steaming hot.

At last, someone came over. We're taught to know what are the essentials to guarantee ourselves a pass. During a three-point turn, we are to be cautious. Cause the motorist will be riding on the circuit as well. So, if you've reverse and finally moving out, better watch out before you move in case a motorist speed by. If you stop for the stupid motorist to cross by when you haven't pass the yellow line, you fail. You're supposed to move out without stopping, said the instructor.

One guy said something I agree, '我撞死他'. Even if I don't hit him, I'll murder him on the spot for making me fail... After that, we learned WOTE.

W - Water
O - Oesophagus? hmmm... (Don't think so...)
T - Tire
E - Engine/Electrical Component

Ok. I forgot what's O.

Before 6, we're dismissed. Leaving me dumbfound. That was fast, I thought. And less than 6 hours. We started at 12.30 and finished at 5.45. About 6 hours I guess, but including the frequent break and the time wasted for waiting?

Oh I love the chibi's smile!! Guess who drew it? I know it's pretty obvious though... Only a certain evil someone could draw something like this...

We really don't know how to stop chit-chating... Whether on the van, or in the class room... XDD Glad that quite a number of people are going to CF tomorrow... XDD

Cheesy Wedges


Arrived at the examination center before 10am. We waited, waited, and waited, and waited for 4 freaking hours to sit for the udang test!! System down, they said. Malaysia Boleh, we thought.

Bleh.

I'm very particular about the washroom.
1st, it must be dry.
2nd, no funny smell.
3rd, it need not to be sparkling clean, just no funny stuff will do...

And the center's totally failed.

It was small, dingy and not to mention smelly. Worse of all, one of the two was flooded. About 2 inches. I don't know how to comment about that. I miss Japan, a lot.

However, I love KFC. I discovered, Puchong Prima's KFC gives more wedges than other KFC. Due to the low population I guess... It's the third time I had cheesy wedges from KFC this month. Spent at least 2 hours lepak-ing around the area. And boo, no shopping mall.

We got back there just in time for our turn. I passed with a score of 46/50 after 21 minutes. Vincy finished 5 minutes earlier than I did. And told me the bad news, which made my heart pumped faster for that 5 minutes...

Spent another 1 hour and 40 minutes at Old Town Cafe waiting for our driver, Dicky. Vincy's studying real hard back then. She nearly pass, just 2 more points!! >.< width="350" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">

You Should Walk the Tightrope




Any subject you study, you aim to master. You enjoy being the best.

When you're good at something, you like to show off your skills.

You're the type of person who would practice years to walk the tightrope.

And you'd love the glory you'd get from walking it in front of a crowd.






You Are a Turtleneck Sweater



You are sophisticated, streetwise, and even a little cynical.

You are quite cultured, and you don't fall for gimmicks or trends easily.

You are naturally chic. You have a urban, cosmopolitan style.

And you know that the secret to looking good is not trying too hard!

Kursus Pelanggar Pandai

On Friday, I signed up for Metropolitan. No going back now...

Signed up at PerfectDriving Academy yesterday with Vincy.

The van, and no, it's not a Kelisa or a Kancil, arrived at 11 am to pick us up at the ss2 office. We were the last batch and the driver headed off straight to Puchong Prima. No trafic-langgaring, we arrived there before 12pm. We waited to get our copy of the stupid undang book. Can't really complain cause they were fast... Our darned lesson started at 12pm.

Our instructor, reminds me of someone I know, especially the way she smile. Whenever she smiled, she reveals two rows of her BIG and SHINY teeth... I couldn't recalled who she resembles until this morning. Remember a certain teacher of ours? The one who we I mistaken her as a guy in tudung... Hope Pn Hanim's not reading, or I'll be damned... I forgot her name, but I think she taught us during form 4 for a while... Despite sitting in the front-est row, I slept in front of the, hem hem, being polite here, the instructor... She didn't mind either...

Being the maestro of curi-curi eating during a lesson, I finished a packet of biscuits, and that seemed to amused Vincy, who's drowning drowsing in our lovely instructor's melodrama beside me... A guy beside me, who looked a bit nerdy, geeky and quiet. The temperature seemed to drop when he started cursing under his breath about waiting soooo long for the break... lol

At 2.30 we were allowed to take a break. So we headed to KFC to have our lunch. We lepak for a while before heading back to the center. I went into the supermarket, with hopes that I'll be able to buy a Sudoku to kill time later but there wasn't any... Boo. Should have check 7-11... The instructor explained about the road signs and what you can and cannot do on a road, the lesson was much more interesting after the break. Thank god. Or I really don't know what to do... And yeah, she explained how to ride a motorbike to us before letting us off. I can't help wondering when did we signed up to learn how to ride a bike... >.>

We were so GLAD that the torturing ended within 5 hours. *relieves*

The founder is Datuk Andy Lau/Law/Lao who cares... And no, it's not that Andy Lau... XDD

Happenings on the road eh?

It wasn't exactly cool in the class room... Coz we're tooo far away from the air-con...

The signs... Need to memorize it...Or I'll have to pay rm50 for the ulangan if I fail myself... T.T

Yeah, I was bored. Believe me, she really look like that!

She taught us: How to tie your seat belt.

I learned: How to make full use of everything in order to kill time. My bag made a very good pillow for sleeping.

Taking the exam this Wednsday with Vincy. If I passed, I shall stay back to sit for the theory of destroying a car and amali of self-destruction. Then we can start to learn driving!! If, that is. The worst case scenario is one of us failed and the other passed. Since we're in this together, it'll be damned awkward if that happens. Either the one who passed stays back for the course or wait for the other one.

Let's hope for the best.



Your Snow Test Says You're Independent



You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few weeks.

You love to work, especially when work is physical. You do well in any job, as long as you're not stuck in an office.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.

When it comes time to relax, you always go the extra mile. You take relaxing as seriously as anything else in life.


Oh really, I thought I was rather dependent on others...
