Holiday

This holiday has been packed full with activities! I haven't had much time to spend with my mum and for that, I am really sorry. But it is the only time when us friends can hang out without having to worry about school the next day.

So on the day we finished our exams, also the last day of school and the beginning of our one week holiday, Friday (13th March), I had volleyball training that afternoon because of the open competition we had the next day. Most of us were really looking forward to a relaxing day out with friends or at home trying to catch some sleep, but we had to go for training. It was kind of tiring, considering I hardly got enough sleep studying late for Sejarah the night before. Well, they did put Sejarah and Moral for the last day of exams, and after Add. Maths and Physics! Who would really study Sej and Moral after gruelling papers like that? So yea, alot of us had to study really hard for those last two subjects seriously last minute. Sigh.

But still, we had to celebrate the end of our first exams, and of course our survival! So me and Angela and Turtle and LeePei wanted to hang out together but with the training in the way, we just resorted to a small relaxing lunch at my house. LeePei couldn't join us because she had something else to do (ahem) and so Angela and Turtle and I enjoyed a delicious spaghetti and roasted chicken lunch, cooked by mum of course. Then we just chatted and chatted. It was very enjoyable! Lent Angela some books and Turtle some computer games (ahahaha). Then headed for training.

LeePei then came to my house after training and we watched a DVD. Kung Fu Panda, oh I love that movie!! (There is no charge for awesome-ness... or attractive-ness!!). She slept over, and we both were anticipating the next day!

Saturday! The competition was hosted by UMS but held at Politeknik. We had oats and french toast for breakfast, we went to Damai to meet up the others and went down to Politeknik together. It was so tiring! We had to stay there the whole day and played 4 mathces altogether! FOUR! By the third match we were all wanting to get some sleep and had sore muscles from standing and playing the whole day. I got back home by 8.30 at night. It was kind of funny. In the morning everyone was pumped up and everything, there were small cheers heard. But nearing the end, even the players were all so quiet and it was to me, a get-it-over-and-done-with thing. Talk about bushed man! But hah hah hah, my mum took away kon lau kueh tiaw and wa tan ho and a mi sua thing from somewhere and that was my dinner. Simple and delicious!, with an Excel for reviving purposes!

The next day Sunday, I don't remember what I did, but I just know I spent time studying for my Theory of Music exam at my grandma's house. We had a small family dinner, the parents played Mahjong and we just relaxed and watched tv. But we all watched the Swiss Open badminton competition together. Haha, talk about sports bringing people together. We were all watching Lee Chong Wei together and supporting him and cheering and criticising also. Haha. He won guys! HE WON LIN DAN 2-0! And with dignity too! It was a fantastic game! He deserved it definitely! Exciting and full of suspense, it was great fun watching together! Honestly, I didn't get much done until I went back home after Lee Chong Wei. So I didn't get to watch Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong play. But, all ends well anyway! Congrats to them!!! Hopefully more domination from Lee Chong Wei in the future!!!

Monday. Theory of Music exam once again in KK High School at 9am. It was kind of okay, hope to score a distinction but not daring to hope. =S I think I did my best. Many thanks to my teacher! Haha. Cheng cheng cheng, had volleyball training that day too. Sigh. Me and my parents, with my grandma and other relatives, went out for dinner in this shop near Alamesra (or IN Alamesra) called Seremban or something. It was famous for its crabs. Oh my gosh! The crabs were HUGE! Charging at RM45 per kg. The other food apart from the crabs were great too but the crabs... wow I had never seen such big crabs, cooked so deliciously. I hope to go again actually! So all crab lovers!! Head down there to be served some amazing crabs! =D

Tuesday. Ooooh! Went to Asia City Wagamama with Leepei, her sis and bro, and Turtle and her sis. We had this RM50 voucher on sushi ONLY, and one of the conditions were that you have to eat twice the amount of sushi of the voucher you are using, for the voucher to be valid. Which means you have to eat RM100 worth of sushi to be able to rebate the RM50 using the voucher. We thought it would be easy, what was RM100 of sushi? HAH! We were suffering! Because half of them ordered set meals due to the coincidence that it was a Tuesday, the buy one free one day for meals, everyone was so full. We were the earliest to be there, almost the last to leave! We succeeded in the end! With one scoop of expensive Japanese-ish ice cream and warm water (not FOC in this era anymore), I only paid less than RM15. Worth it? You decide!! We then walked around Asia City, then CP, then Warisan to look for sports pants for Turtle, bought a weird but nice mango juice thing from Juice Up and then me and LeePei went for training.

Wednesday. Hmm... Oh my gosh. Theng came over my house in the morning about 9am. I was of course still half-dead in my bed. Angela joined her and they both watched as I debated in my mind whether I should get up. Haha. We had planned a day out and UNFORTUNATELY PAULINE COULDN'T JOIN US (F5!! F3, I think. Is F3 the maolit one? =P). So we went out for breakfast in MCDONALDS! Yes, we had the breakfast meals. It was kind of nice. Theng had the Big Breakfast, I had the Sausage McMuffin with Egg and Angela had her HOTCAKES (hahahaha), together with a hash brown and a hot milo each. We chatted, watched Theng experience the Grape Jam, Salt and Pepper Tubes first hand, and debated with Angela on whether the syrup should be poured first or the butter should be spread first. Haha. I had a vanilla cone for dessert and Theng had another hot milo. Then went home, watched a movie (Oh! I think we watched Kung Fu Panda, didn't we? O.O), then went to Bukit Padang. Cheng cheng cheng! Theng had a mango juice/milkshake thing, we shared a Kaya+Butter Ngiu Cha Kueh and I had a carrot juice, Angela had an ABC. It was fun! Then it was volleyball training again. Turtle, LeePei and I made plans during Wagamama to go to Fratini to eat on Wednesday night. But sadly (gah!) Turtle's mum made her go to her tuition. So LeePei just came to my house after volelyball and stayed over. We watched half of Run Daddy Run (Hon Kong movie I think) and then changed to All About Women. Haha. Wasn't really nice but entertaining. Oh! We had a very nice dinner. Because my mum thought we were going out to eat with Turtle, she didn't cook anything. So me and Pei raided the fridge and found a few slices of waffles. We took out strawberry jam, choc spreading, smooth peanut butter spreading, maple syrup, and bananas to be used as our toppings. We heated up the waffles and sat down in front of our tv to eat. Haha! Improvisation is intelligence! Hahaha! =D

Thursday. Woke up and I let Pei use the internet while I practiced piano because piano lesson was the next day and I hadn't touched the piano since school exams hit us. About 2pm, we went to Synergy because Pei had a dance class there at 2.30pm. Spent time reading a book in the studio and entertaining myself watching them dance while the class went on. We left early about 3.30pm and walked to school for volleyball. Sigh. It rained heavily (hahaha) and we played in the hall. It was easier, definitely and so much fun! Had a great time.

Friday (today!), once again, Theng came to my house at about 9am. I was so tired! I slept late because I was blogging and discussing what we were going to do today by MSN with YuenNie, Pauline and Angela. I let Theng use the computer and I practiced piano again. Angela came at 11am. So I spent some time listening to 3rd pieces because I had to choose one already. THen at about 12.15, my mum sent me to my piano lesson. Angela and Theng stayed in my hosue and YuenNie came to pick them up at about 1pm. They went to Damai and ate at Upperstar, then went to Coffee Bean. After my piano at 1.30pm, I went for my dentist appointment in Damai. So it all worked out well. Met them at Coffee Bean and at about 3+, we set off to Tanjung Aru with the help of Yuen Nie's mum who drove us there.

It was so exciting. We were all so happy to be able to be there together. Yuen Nie bought lekor, I bought sour mango (!!!!), I ate chicken wings and had a carrot juice (yes, another carrot juice) and Angela had a coconut. It was their own fault to have eaten at Upperstar and had a drink at Coffee Bean that they couldn't really enjoy eating together there. Haha. But we had fun chatting anyway. After everyone had finished (or rather I), and also scraping the coconut flesh out, we went to the beach. We did alot of things, but mostly on the same spot. Haha. We tried to take pictures, tried to look for people who could help us take a picture, wrote our names in the sand, took more pictures, took solo pictures (HAHAHA) and played with the RM2 bubble liquid soup thing (the liquid thing you blow to make bubbles), then finally took a walk. Oh my gosh, Pauline so does not belong to the beach. She kept screaming because of the tiny balls of sands the sand crabs make and because of the sand crabs themselves. Gosh! Hahahaha! We finally got someone to take a picture for us. Walked back. And it was about time to go. Angela had a corn too. Haha. The solo pictures were the funniest. The view was so wonderful and amazing. The sea was so calm after the small rain and whenever I looked at the camera screen to view a picture just taken, it really took my breath away. It really was so beautiful. Plus, didn't go for training. Haha.

So now I am here, blogging about my holiday. (I know it's long.. you guys must be half asleep) Well, I'm grateful to have this holiday, and to have spent it the way I have spent it. I made a list of things to do during this holiday and have not done any at all. So tomorrow I will start. Hopefull I'll be able to clear everything on that list. So thanks guys for the company and everything! I really really enjoyed it and would not have traded it for anything! =D

Well, we are now given a fresh start, to pick ourselves up and start over in this seemingly tougher life of S1, and hopefully, we will be able to stay strong in friendship and also buck up on our school stuff. Theng is leaving tomorrow morning. BYE THENG!!!!! I'll miss you so much! Take care of yourself and study hard! But don't be too stressed kay! You deserve to be there so make it worthwhile! =D Have a safe flight! =D =D

Good night all!! Be grateful KK people, for we have a beautiful sea view and a (not so) clean beach!
