My Story
Sunday, November 27, 2005
Yesterday, I went to some health fair in PWTC with my family. A kinda ugly incident happened there. We were buying some stuff from a booth. The lady who served us took our stuff to pack it. She turned around in quite a hurry and unfortunately for her there was a baby pram right behind her. So, she let slip of a box and it fell into the pram right smack onto the baby’s face (actually I dunno if it hit the baby’s face). The grandfather of the baby shouted and grabbed the box and threw it to the ground. Then, he started pampering over the baby….rubbing the face and all. He was kinda overreacting in my opinion cos the baby wasn’t even crying or what. The grandpa was clearly angry and he just left the place after that. Stupid fella…throw our box of stuff until dented. Didn’t have to throw ma…but we didn’t change the box la cos the lady who served us was already feeling so guilty of that incident. The lady did apologize but of course the grandpa didn’t bother about her. I pity the lady cos it was just a minor accident and it wasn’t her fault that the pram ‘magically’ appeared behind her.
Well, after that headed to my aunt’s house. My uncle has developed a love for Chinese tea. I only heard of ‘tip kun yam’, ‘cha wong’ and ‘kok fa’ b4. But, my uncle has tea mostly made in China – ‘fu er’, ‘liu bo’ and others. And. most of his tea are very expensive. For instance, RM300 for 300g, and RM1000 for 1kg…..oh wait… that’s the same rate. Chong chee his tea all very class wan…. drank so much of his tea there. Haha…and the cute thing is that my uncle’s hobby doesn’t stop at buying tea leaves…he also collects cups, teapots, tea scoops and towels for wiping the cups. My aunt was complaining that even the towels for wiping the cups must have the teapot design on it….very funny la he. =P

My holiday
Got nothing to blog about. So, I’ll write bout my holiday 2 weekends ago. My family (except my 2nd sis) and I left for Penang on a Friday after my big sis’s work. So, we reached the ferry in Penang only at about 11pm. Since it was so late at night, the ferry trips aren’t so frequent. We waited a while for the ferry. When we got on the ferry…it started to rain so the ferry did not start moving. By the time we reached the hotel…I think it was around 12am.
The next morning we had breakfast at Pulau Tikus. Then, headed to my uncle’s house. The main reason we were in Penang was to attend my cousin’s wedding. When we reached my uncle’s house, one of my cousins was about to leave for the bride’s house. So, they bundled me and my big sis into the car as well. It took almost an hour to drive to the bride’s house in Butterworth (plus the time we got lost). We didn’t do much at the bride’s house. Just watched the bride and bridegroom (my cousin) come out of the house, walk around the car, then go back in again. I guess it’s part of the wedding ceremony. Then, went back to my uncle’s house and had lunch there.
At night, we arrived at the dinner quite late cos we overslept but the dinner hadn’t started yet. During the dinner, I kept admiring the cute little small 3-year old son of my cousin (same one that I was in the car with). The boy is so adorable. When his mum asked him to put the peace sign when the camera guy came…he really did it…and he looked so cute doing that. =P Then, balloons for decoration were brought down from the entrance ‘door’ and distributed to the small kids. The small boy at my table got a big orange one. It was sooo big….I’m not a fan of balloons. Of course here and there we could hear balloons bursting. Suddenly the orange balloon burst and the poor boy started crying. I think cos the balloon was right near his face and he felt the pain. That’s why I don’t like balloons. Haha…poor boy looked so adorable even when he was crying. I couldn’t help laughing. =P Another reason that small kids are cute is that they can be laughing with joy one minute and then crying the next moment AND then laughing the next. =P
Anyway, the next morning we left for Pedu Lake in Kedah. This place is so isolated; there was no line for all our handphones. There was not even any makan shops nearby except for the hotel ‘restaurants’ la. At night it rained so heavily that we couldn’t go anywhere cos we stayed in chalets. Haha…so stayed in the chalet watching tv. Thank God for the existence of Astro there. They had most of the channels that are not available at home namely Disney Channel and Star Movies. That night we watched a movie called Wrong Turn. I have seen it before in the cinema. The girl actor is the same as the Tru Calling girl if I’m not mistaken.
The next day, spent the morning exploring the place. There were not many activities there cos the water level in the lake is low and most of their activities are water associated. Then we had lunch in the hotel’s restaurant. The food there was EXPENSIVE. Fish and chips, nasi + rendang chicken and spaghetti cost RM18 each. And, fried rice cost RM15. But the food was quite a lot la…more than normally we eat wan. Most worth is the fish and chips. It was quite a gigantic piece. Oh…and the only other customers there was a foreign couple whom, if I’m not mistaken, checked in about the same time as us. This goes to show how MANY customers the whole resort has.
At night, it was raining heavily again…so watched tv again. =P First time I watched 3 movies in a row!! First, some show called Glow, then Sister Act then Sister Act 2. The good thing bout Star Movies is that they don’t have advertisements….so I didn’t fall asleep during the non-existent advertisements.
Next morning, packed as quickly as possible and left for home. Home sweet home.

Yeah…FINALLY bought the wire connecting the modem to the phone. It is the wire’s fault after all.
I went for my second driving lessons today. We drove around Chi Liung and Hin Hua there. Driving is ok la…not too hard…luckily. But can’t drive very fast yet cos everytime I press the oil the instructor will ask me to let go. Sometimes I so blur cos he’ll ask me press the brake when “nearing” the junction….well actually we weren’t that near yet…so the car will go so slowly and I just have to sit there and wait. Hehe…so I’m a step closer to getting my license.
Oh…and I watched ‘I Not Stupid’ for the…um…15th time (I think) today. I absolutely LOVE this show. It never fails to make me laugh or cry. And the boys acting are so adorable and cute. Thank God I have the CD. =P
