tmr have to waake up at 5 .. going to row in the morning .. have to sleep early. . rowing was seriously great fun .. u get team work .. and techiniques .. u have to be in time .. i missed it once .. it aint good ~! .. after waking up at 5 // and found out tat the bus left without u was damn frustrating// hopefully i can make it tmr morning .. aiks .. hopefully i get to row full crew tmr .. : )

i'm in a really positive mood now .. hate to do it but had to do it .. so hopefullly tmr can go past faster .. i'll be so busy tmr tat i'm dead tired by the end of it .. hopefully tmr will pass by fairly quick .. and i'll be a happy carefree girl !@@

rowing
saturday .. i went to rowing for the first time of my life~!! it was great fun and was way better than i expected. .. we woke up way earlier than we normally would .. esp amazing for jesh .. she always wakes up at 8 something during school days .. how could she make it for weekends when we have to wake up at 7+ ... the staff ffind it weird but i think if most of us were making heaps of noise .. i dun think she can stand it and eventually she had to wake up anywayz .. hehhe .. so . yeah .,. we caught the bus and off we went to albert park at the city .. it took us about an hour to go there .. we had a short briefing from the coach .. it was pretty cold when we were there despite the sun shinning .. also .. we had our warm up but it dint help much .. after that we went on the "oga" or i call it a rowing excercise machine .. the experienced rowers tot us the correct technic to row and how we should put our hands, leg and body together .. it was great fun~! .. i learnt alot there . then after that. .we went to carry out our boats from the storing place .. it wastn light at all .. it was REALLY heavy .. it took about 16 people to carry 1 boat .. and it;s all about team work .. we dumped the boat into the water .. and then i'm amongst the lucky 1 tat got into the boat and row !! .. it was seriously different from other sports .. u have to worry about 1 more thing - balance and not to fall into the water .. it was kinda terrifying .. but it was alrite .. i enjoyed it .. time past really fast.. not long after tat .. we get to go home~
wed we had another rowing session .. it was at 6.15 when we had to get up at 5+ as the bus leave at 5.45 ... mandy pau n i woke up .. we actually managed to wake up .. but the saddest part was we missed the bus becoz we were busy grabbing food and totally ignored the time .. the bus went past mandy n my face whereas pau was at the dining room .. aiks .. so sad case .. ~!! >.< we decided to go for a swim instead becoz the aquatic center was opened .. the guy in the aquatic center was shocked at our earliness .. hahaha. . it was kinda waste tat we missed the bus .. but then at least we went for a swim tat wasnt tat frustrating .. : )

cousin's house
last sunday the 29th . was my cousin;s bday .. i went to their (both guy cousins) hse to celebrate leong's bday .. he turned 16 this year. . same age as i am .. i went there after chinese school by train with a hungry stomach .. oni 2 sushi in my stomach .. however i cant satnd the hunger and the temptation and bot food to fill it up instead... bot him a cake in the glen near chinese school .. duno wat cake he like. .so i not a typical blue berry cheese cake .. reached ivanhoe around 2 .. cousin seng came and fetched me at the train statiion .. the moment i reached his hse. .it looked empty .. nothing much was there and it wasnt as homely as i tot it would be but i was wrong .. after a while .. we sang bday song and cut the cake.. i think the cake i bot was a bit too big.. too big for the 3 of us .. anyway.. after we each had 1 .. they stored it at the fridge .. it;s gonna last them for another week of desert .. then .. i got the chance to listen to jay chou's newest album but too bad i dint get the lyrics .. >,< cant realy understand wat it's singing .. heheh .. then .. leong brought me to a walk and to look around ivanhoe .. he said that he wanted an ipod and he showed me the nearest imac center .. then we went into blockbuster and looked at the cds and stuff .. then he bought himself hot coffee which he kindly offered me to have a sip .. we chated , catched up and fooled around .. just like the times when we were young and small .. childish and foolish .. :P but it was enjoyable// .. they asked me to stay back for dinner which i pleasurably agreed .. course i rather having dinner with them than the boarding hse food .. !! :P i phoned the bhse.. ms cox allowed me .. so :) i wanted to help them out in cooking but they dint allow me to .. but i did help abit of cleaning up .. seng cooked parsilo or P ... something .. a portugeese kinda rice .. which was something like risotto in the boarding hse .. but it was nicer with prawns and chickens .. with more love and devotion ... u know .. home cook food?~ yeah .. tat;s it . .. we also had wedges which leong was in charge of it .. it was yummy and crispy .. they both changed alot compared to lastime .. when we used to have fun together . . now. .they are grown ups and adults .. not kids anymore.. just like me .. we all grown up .. and they are so independent and are so close to each other it simply envies me .. i want my sis to be here with me too . .so tat i can cook with her ..take care of her and clean up the hse together as wat leong and seng did .. they depend on each other .. i can see their concern towards each other through their eyes when they were talkin in front where as i'm sitting at the back of the car when seng drove me back to the bhse. .. so sweet and so jealous of them .. i wouldnt mind not going home if i was on of them...
MERDEKA~! MeRdEkA ~! mErDeKa~ !!

this is the day when all malaysian have their hols and celebrating our independence day .. well ... not to crap on the history and stuff .. just to express how much i miss the patriotic atmostphere .. it;s kinda funny here like how excited we get once we found some1 tat actually can sing a few patriotic songs such as "wawasan 2020", "bahasa jiwa bangsa" " jalur gemilang" and "kerana mu malaysia" .. tammi and i were so excited when one of us started singing those songs.. we dun have a holiday here but just a malaysian lunch where we get to eat malaysian food and the money earned will go to charity ..
last night i was helping anisha to cook the vegetarian curry .. which was kinda shortcut way coz we were just chopping the vege and just added the packed kuah into the big pot .. and anisha the "main chef" was in charge of it .. where as me ... who arent so familiar with cooking malay food/.. just helped to cook the papadum .. not tough at all .. if i screwed it up .. i'm a total failure .. all i need to do was just put the papadum dough into the microwave .. heat it up for 30 sec and cool it down .. soon it'll be cripsy and yummy ~! how easy was it huh ?! anisha was like the head of it so she had all her say in it ... and when others tried to help out she just told them off .. which is something tat i'm not so fond of .. but then overall the cookig session was great fun and it took us the whole prep time .. which was a good thing or else i have to day dream the whole prep .. >.< .. okok .. back to today's lunch .. it was great . with lots of m'sian food tat i missed out for 2 whole months .. :O well .. at least some part of my desire is patially cured ~! hehehe ... we didnt had heaps of variety but enough to fill up our tummies .. we had vege curry, chicke curry , roti jala, mamak mee goreng, chinese fried beehun and papadum (i cooked them) .. hehe .. i can t stand the temptation tat i had seconds .,, i wasnt helping alot but just a fair bit .. i was in charged of drinks .. simple task .. make sure every1 has drink and pour cordials or tea to cups and tat;s it .. i also helped in stacking up chairs .. due to this .. i missed part of human relation .. which i shall explain below .. but it was great and i felt so patriotic .. like how i could never be this high just becoz of merdeka day.. i was humming and singing all the songs tat i would be embarassed to sing like negaraku and etc if i was back home but today i was singing it all day ..
MERDEKA~! MeRdEkA ~! mErDeKa~ !!
