Some blog shifting phase.

Go to put up with the layout first

In school, I knew a friend who was constantly bullied.

They did awful things to her, called her names that I thought were funny, scribbled on her desk and messed up her books. We weren’t in the same class and I wasn’t a very close friend of hers so I felt it wasn’t’ relevant for me to stick up for her. More like I didn’t feel the need to as a 13 year old girl.

At a recent reunion we talked about the same girl again. Laughing at our own mistakes, I have a feeling we do feel sorry for doing so somewhere inside. Although I didn’t directly participate in the bullying, I did witness all their little dirty tricks.

Some made fun of her bra size, while some other girls put a used sanitary pad on her table. Sometimes I’ve always wondered, how would it be like to be in her shoe as the subject of humiliation. I never thought of her feelings back then. I didn’t feel it was right of those people to do such things to her, but I didn’t do anything.

Today, seven years later I realize that she has been very strong. She shifted schools in junior high. We won’t know if it was because of all the drama. I doubt so. A few months back I bumped into a relative of hers and found out that she has been working very hard to support her own tertiary education. Apparently the family has been suffering from a financial crisis for a while now, and it has always been her whose been supporting them by dropping out from studies and working.

Most teenagers our age would have thought of working part time as a source for additional pocket money. Yet, this girl had to work hard as if her life depended on it from a young age. She stood by all the crisis and snickers. Well, I remember her crying once or twice but after a few tricks she learnt to stand up and walk away with a tough front. She didn’t have many close friends because whoever was close to her turned into laughing stocks as well .As freshmen in junior high, I guess nobody wanted to be left out.

Today I chanced upon her Facebook and see that she’s attending a fine college leading a happy life. These people do inspire me sometimes. I can’t say I won’t laugh at the pranks played at her if I was given a chance once again, but if she really was earning her way to college by herself – it is something to look up to.

It does seem like a Cinderella kind of story, and I’m just writing this post because I’m somewhat proud of knowing someone like her and I hope that the kids that appear in my life in future are half as strong because the world is turning into a horrible place to survive in

Where: Noble Bouquet, Bukit Bintang KL
When: 22-02-2010
What: Wo Lai Yeah Anniversary + Ju Koons Parent’s Anniversary + Birthday
With: The Gardeners [tsk]

I would like to this as more of a Sri Garden reunion, like a meet and greet session with the long time no see’s.

Lion Dance
Damn semangat. It felt like they were dancing the whole night.

I think I have lately developed a fear for these big lion heads, which is depressing because I remember liking them alot. Well, I cannot deny it IS scary when they start dancing infront of you face and their head is a thousand times bigger. I’m still amazed at how both the dancers can sync so well.

Dengan kakak fishball Vivien who I swear is alot crazier than I am, why can anybody see!
Why my smile so fake pfft

Habis with the red head lions, the yellow ONG ones start. Wo Lai Yeah memang suka ong!
Lucky they have their own group of lion dancers, kalau tidak hire also others dont wanna dance!

Ini adalah Sabrina Loh who always looks like she’s 10 CM taller than me. Same height ok! YAYA i must mention everywhere.

Where: Cameron Highlands (again)
When: 19th-21st February
What: CNY Family Getaway II
With: Chai Family

We went to Cameron yet once again because we loved the cottage so much. Nothing special from the trip, just a few pictures for you to see. This is turning into a very pictorial blog, no? Me gonna gets a better camera. S90 S90, here I come!

Unintentionally blurred out, but beautiful nonetheless.

The only reason why I love Cameron Highlands – strawberries are everywhere selling cheap!

These brinjals reminded me of cockroaches. Aren’t they a little to fat to be brinjals teehee.

Red Chilli Peppers The aunty was trying to place a bet, if we can eat the whole thing she’d give us RM 50 on the spot. We understood that it was very spicy so we ranaway pfft. (After buying without knowing beforehand FOL)

Ze Mom’s Artwork
How come I never thought of it T________T By the way looking at this, I just remembered. I
dreamt of my shadow harming me the night before pfft.

Dinner at 0800PM We had the housekeeper prepare dinner for us so there was (almost) bottomless food. Having steamboat under the cold weather is ze bomb.
After dinner, we decided to fly the Ming Dang’s
(no this isn’t an excerpt from the post below pfft)

Stripe love?




Over at the Tea Farm, which was astounding to witness.
The green was too overwhelming I felt like I was in a box pfft.


Upon exploration of the teafarm
Walking up the slopes reminded me of the times when I was in Seoul, I had to walk up long steep slopes everyday pfft.

Cute caterpillar

Ze emperess Grandmama with her Dynasty cover teehee

You know, everything about Cameron Highlands is good. Fresh air, fresh trees, fresh corn, fresh fruit. But if there was one thing that I find (a little) scary in Cameron, its the flowers. Flowers are everywhere and they are available in all types of colours! I used to find them pretty because I’ve never seen turqouise roses pfft but now its so stressfull to look at them. It’s like a flower overrated area pfft.

But guess what was staring at me the whole journey back down KL?

OH HAI IZ ME!

좋아하는 연예인은 지겨주지못해서 기분이 묘하다. 보이컷을 반대하신분들 ,이제서야 알면 늦었다. 모든게 확정되였으며 누구탓이라 할수없다. 이렇게 감상하는 연예인 없었는데 다시 올순없어서 안타깝다.

Where: Ginny’s Uncle’s House, Cheras
When: 17th February 2010
What: Ginny’s 20th Birthday
With : Fishball Clan + Boyfriends (-2), Sri Gardeners

EmoGirl’s birthday falls on the 18th officially but because dear Sean had to leave for Aussieland the same day so we had it brought forward. Not that it was any use anyway, since he never made it for the whole day and I only got to see him for 5 seconds while leaving a little past midnight on the 18th at the shisha place.

Buts its okay Sean, we still sayang you.

Anyways, EmoGirl came kidnap me from the beginning of the day. We caught Percy Jackson after having a scrumptious meal in Sushi King (which is apparently the only nice Sushi King in town, is that true?). I like to ask and comment during movies but stupid EmoGirl was leaning towards boyfriend so much it felt like I was sitting next to no one pfft. Turn my head then can see PDA only.

After the movie we were just in time for our karaoke session that we booked for. Finally came dinner time in Ulu Klang. Thai food it is and the journey descending to the restaurant was a freaky one (despite the number of times I’ve been there) because Jess and EmoGirl claimed they saw things at the same time. The place is kind of hollowish and dark with no lights but if it leads to good food, we can’t help it!

We then wrapped the day up by letting the Ming Dangs (translation: lanterns pfft) off at the Look Out Point but there wasn’t a spot for us to do it so we adjourned to EmoGirl’s uncle’s place. For those who doesnt know, Ming Dang’s are usually lanterns that floats up the sky and we usually like to write our wishes on in hoping that it’ll come true.

I’ve only got pictures from that night so here are some!

The rest of the lot (minus Arthur, EmoGirl’s VIP)
