Sunway Pryamid...

Went to Sunway at around 12 something today!!!!!!!

And guess what?????

SUE ANNE WAS THERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol...XD

Actually how I found out she was also there was because, Sue Anne and I were having a really very "serious" discussion through sms...

Then later I told her I'm going to Sunway and she said, WHAT???? I'm there too!!!!!!

And I was like, What????? You're there?????? Wheeee!!!!!!!! =)

Anyway, so when I found out that she was at Sunway, I was buying lunch...

Then later she came up to The Jusco Sports Section where my mummy was buying something for daddy.

Then we talked talked talked...but laugh alot also...XD

Then later my mummy talked to Aunty Kim Ping, and Sue Anne and I talked some more...like for half an hour???? Or maybe more...I'm not sure also...

Then we were at the Christmas Section, talking, then suddenly everything went "SMELLY AND QUIET." (thats how sue anne puts it).

Wanna know why????

It's because, suddenly, as we were talking, both of us smelled something that stung like crazy..."sweat and clothes that has not enough sunlight kinda of smell..." Then we both went quiet...and turned around and saw a really SLOPPY GUY...so sloppy ok...And immediately we knew that the smell was coming from him...

Then, slowly and as discreetly as possible, we moved away from him...but we still could smell after he was gone...OH MA MA MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! It was pretty repulsive...haha...XD

Anyway, it was so funny how both of us went quiet and how the atmosphere became smelly...=)

Ok, so, we continued talking but 1/3 of the time I think, was spent, staring at each other and saying, "tsk, tsk, tsk, or ciap ciap ciap..." Which ever suits it better...=)

It was so funny la...making that sound and we ended up laughing only...XD

Ok, we "seperated" at about half an hour to 45 min from the time we met...

Then went "shopping" Walking around mostly...

I soooooooooooo LOVE THE PET SHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bags, and stuff in there, are so CUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But they are also very very very very expensive...Sigh...I wish I own the whole shop...seriously wish...=(

Anyway, we left Sunway at about 5 something...=)

Funny Incident at Church...

haha...something funny happened during sermon at church yesterday...

My friend was sitting next to me, she does not wish me to reveal her name. So I have to put "my friend."

Anyway, she has this purple water bottle, which, in order to drink from, you have to squeeze the bottle first before the water will come out.

So happen, she put the water bottle in-between her thighs, and I guess she forgot she had it there and squeezed her legs together, and the water SHOT OUT!!!!!!!!

She was sitting at the aisle...so it shot out the aisle!!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO HILARIOUS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So funny until I couldn't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were both laughing like crazy, including my sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it was during sermon so we couldn't like laugh so loud...but I think I was already loud...XD...

One Jie Jie sitting at the aisle also, turn around when the water shot pass her!!!! haha...

Thanks my friend, for giving me a good laugh!!!!!!!!

MY CELLO!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cello, went like super out yesterday night.

I was practicing, and was playing a piece when suddenly I heard a "piak" sound...and I was like, wa-aat?????

And the first thing that came to my mind was,

THE STRINGS BROKE.

(Because, teacher told me that the A string especially, is going to break...haha...XD)

Then I checked, but no, the strings were still intact...

What could it be???? Then I strummed the strings???? AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What sound is that!!!!!!!?????? What note is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

The D string went to like goodness knows what note...I think it was like F? And not the F above the D ok. It's the F BELOW the D. lol...Crazy huh????

And the A went higher...lol...to B! Usually it goes lower not higher...dunno what happen to my cello yesterday...

So I had to turn the pegs, and nearly forgot to loosen the fine tunners first. XD

And I got it at the right note, when, just as I expected, the pegs started RUNNING!!!!!!! They ran away!!!!! ahaha...those pegs are very very very very very fond of running...must scold them! =)

And I kept turning and turning, until finally I gave up because my hands were too painful to turn anymore. So I called my mummy...and she also turned and turned, and turned, until FINALLY!!!!!! The pegs were "kuai" (good) enough to stay put...=)

Phew, I hope it won't go all out again...

MPO Cello Essemble! ~Pics

Here are the pics of the stage and the cellists and conductor and etc...

The colorful stage...

See how many decorations they put on the stage?????

Some deco hanging down from the ceiling...

Us Cellists, and Teacher!

Me, looking goodness knows where...=)

Me again...(Btw, the girl next to me, with specs??? She's Laura...whom touch the Marshmallows and said, "It's real!") =)

Sound checking...

Teacher's sis took over the "sound checking conducting" for awhile...

11 Cellists on the stage...Can you see how jam crowded and small and cramped is it???

Group pic...sorry but not all of us were looking into my mum's cam at the same time...simply because there were too many cams to look at...=)

Hunchy Me!!!!!! lol...

Ok I think that's all...enjoy!!!

D-Performance!

Wheeee!!!!!!!!!!!! The performance is over!!!!!!!!!! lol...

Had a short last-minute-rehersal first, and then proceeded downstairs for sound check.

After rehersal, we had to leave our cases and stuff at the room, because Teacher said that we better not bring it downstairs, because who knows, somebody may just "steal" it...lol...

So we had to carry our cellos, our bows, and music, all the way downstairs.

Not to mention, we had to climb up a few escalators and stuff. Oh dear! haha...I was so scared I will trip on my skirt. XD

The stage was so TERRIBLY CRAMP AND SMALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAA!!!!!!!! How we mangaged to fit 11 cellists and a conductor on it I really don't know...

The whole center court of the place in KLCC was decorated with Christmas Stuff...the stage was all red, and had candy and stuff. The marshmallows were real!!!!!! lol... Laura, poked it with her finger, and said, "Oh! It's real!" lol...

Anyway, the sound system wasn't good, it was so terribly soft, even I could hardly hear us playing on stage, what more the "audience." I think they were all struggling to hear us...especially those on the higher floors...

Sigh...it would have been so much better if the sound was louder...=(

Anyway, there were 5 pieces. I played only in the last 2.

The pieces

1) Love Me Tender
2) Oblivia or something, some tango piece...
3) Tanah Pusaka? Something like that
4) Tritsh Tratch Polka (not sure how to spell)
5) Radetsky March

I love the tango piece, it's so like ahhhh!!!!!! lol...XD

Ok, I guess that's all for now, my mummy took some pics, maybe I'll upload them sometime...XD

D-DAY!

Tomorrow is the peformance day...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooo fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to go there at 5? For a last rehersal...and then proceed to the CHRISTMAS TREE downstairs...

5 is JAM TIME. So daddy said we have to leave at 3:50 pm. lol...so early...=)

Phew, phew, phew...scary la...lol...

Last Rehersal!

Had a last rehersal yesterday at that mpo place again...

Instead of Teacher conducting, it was her sister this time...because, Teacher wasn't feeling well, and went off soon after...

We had a bit of problems finding the right room...simply because, as I've said before, the whole place is like a maze...and teacher's sis, who also said she sometimes still get lost in that "maze" was trying to fit the key into this door and that door, finally, she managed to fit it into the right door...and the correct room! XD

You must be thinking, why didn't Teacher come with us then because she knows the way? Well, she had to wait for another girl to collect her cello from her mother. So yeah.

The room was how we left it last week. It was in a bit of mess. I thought that people will come and take all the chairs and stands away after we were done last week. But I don't think so now. XD

The room this time, wasn't FREZING! Which was fantastic! haha...

Anyway, yesterday's rehersal wasn't as good as last week's...don't know why...haha...maybe different conductor...=)

TAVBS ILLNESS...

I'm SICK. Having the TAVBS Illness...Don't know what it is?

It stands for, THE-AFTER-VBS-ILNESS. XD...

The main reason I'm having it is also partly I haven't had like enough sleep. Simply because, for the two days of VBS, I didn't have enough sleep, Sunday also, then from Monday to Wednesday, also. So yeah...

Sigh...haven't had such a bad flu for such a long time...if I'm not wrong, the last time was when I had bronchitis...yeee...scarrry....=(

Bad cough, bad nose...=(

The past two days, woke up in the morning with my throat all "caked" up with phlegm!!!!! Eeewww...it was like, I can't even talk, I have to get out the phlegm first! XD..

I used to think that phlegm is spelled "flam." Hey, it makes sense right????? But then I don't know how, but I saw the word "phlegm" on some medicine box or something, and then I asked my mummy what it was, and she said it's phlegm la! Then I was like, har? Oh? You mean that's how it's spelled? Then she said yeah...lol...XD...

Ah well, anyway, I seem slightly better now...good...

Retreat-edited

I've edited the previous post, so if you wanna read it again, do so...

I'm back from HARVEST HAVEN!!!!!!!!!!

Wheee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back from the retreat at Harvest Haven!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, somehow, when we are going to a destination, for example, our retreat place, the journey is like HORRIBLY LONG!!!!!!!!!!! But coming back, it's like SUPER DUPER SHORT!!!!! Why is that so, can somebody tell me please? =)

The journey there was, long, and I felt carsick...=)

First of all, it's not like a HOTEL. It's a Christian Ministry? Anyway, we have to set the table, clean the dishes, and take off the dirty sheets after the last day and put clean ones, and etc...

Putting the sheets was DIFFICULT. Also because they had bunk beds so it's abit difficult to put it nice and smooth...=) But I managed it! XD

The bunk beds happen to be metal ones, so they squeak and creak whenever, you move on it. It's so SQUEAKY!!!!!!!!

Aunty Darlene, had to share a bunk bed with Unlce Ian I think, so when she heard it squeak and creak, she said, ok, you're going down on the floor, lol...so they put the matresses on the floor instead, haha...because she said she won't be able to sleep! Same here...

Second, they have THREE DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *runs for her life* I simply am NOT AN ANIMAL LOVER...and one dog is bad enough, but THREE!!!!!!!!!!! Oh goodness!!!!!!! The whole time there, I DID NOT step a foot outside, until we had to leave. =)

2 of them were some blackish dogs(females) and the other one was white(male). The female dogs are, JELLY AND JESS. And the male is, JOSAY? Ok, I'm not sure how to spell their names so yeah...

Ok...most of the time, I was hanging around doing nothing. lol...they had alot of sessions, which were too deep for me, so most of the time, I didn't stay through the whole thing.

Yesterday, I had a good nap...it was between after breakfast and before lunch...VERY GOOD.

Anyway, I'm finally back home. HOME SWEET HOME. Somehow, I feel the most comfortable at home...=)
