Edit~Additon...

I've edited the previous post (in the 3rd Day), because I made a mistake there...try and spot it...=)

And, in addition to my previous post, I forgot to say that I HAVE BEEN EATING AND EATING AND EATING during the whole trip...somehow when you're on holiday, you just feel like eating...haha...because sometimes there's nothing to do, so you get bored and start eating...=D And I think I've put on weight...can see it in my face...can pinch my face now...=) lol...last time cannot...=)

And I also forgot to add a picture...



Can you guess what this is?
Well, it's a HAUNTED HOUSE called ADORABLE.

It used to look real worse, but now it's bought I think, FINALLY, after so long... I don't know what they are going to turn it into though... all the creepers were cut down so it looks better...last time, the whole "house" was all brown, and creepy and scary looking...I don't know what's the story behind the "haunted-ness," because there are many versions, so if I can't find out the real version, it's better not to know anything...=D
Oh but ah ma said that last time when it was still "haunted," some people slept in that house, and they will hear pots and pans rattling and stuff...oooooo I'm getting goosebumps now...I better stop...I'll leave it to your imagination to run wild! XD


Oh and I think that's all the pics I'm going to upload...=) I'll be editing the previous post quite a bit...just to let you know that...=)

Penang

Ok, I'm going to try to remember most of what I did during the whole Penang trip...
Here goes...bear with me...=)

1st Day~

My "crazy dad," was so crazy that day and the day before...lol...first he tells us that we will have our own lunch and then only pick aunty kay up after our lunch.

But because my mummy said that if we leave after lunch only, we will be caught in a massive jam at the Penang Bridge, so then he tells us that we will pick up my aunty at around 11:30 am to 12 pm like that. And we will have lunch together first before we start out journey. So my mummy let my aunty know about the plans...that was the day before we left...

And we couldn't like leave like around 9 am or something because daddy had a bit of work to do first...

Then, the following day, the next thing we knew was, my dadddy called my mummy (he was at work) and said that we will pick up my aunty at 11:30 am. And have lunch together...

So my mummy had to let my aunty know again, the new plans...and then my aunty actually said, "whats the difference?" lol...but my mummy wasn't thinking that time so yeah...anyway...

Then later, my mummy realized that my aunty was right...whats the difference of the new plans from the old one? So anyway, we still went on with the "new plan."

Pick my aunty up at precisely 11:30 am...ate lunch at a restaurant at Kepong, (my daddy had to pick up something around that area) and I had a bad tummyache...I don't know why, but suddenly as I was eating my lunch, I felt this terrible backache, and my tummy was like painful and aching at the same time...at first I thought it would go away but then it became worse, and I told my mummy my situation, and she was like, backache???? So funny wan...lol...

It didn't go away until when the rest were almost finished with their lunch...then suddenly I started eating a bit of rice, and then aunty asked, how's your stomach? And I answered, better, and mummy said obviously it's better if not she won't be eating rice...XD

Still, I didn't eat much lunch...=)

So after daddy picked up his stuff, we started our journey...

Was CARSICK...I haven't actually been carsick all these while, but I don't know why lately I will feel carsick if I am in the car for super long...=)

My mummy asked me later if I was looking down, and I said, that I was "reading" a book like quite awhile ago, but stopped...and she said better not look down because that's usually how you will feel sick...so I didn't look down and after awhile, the carsick-ness passed on...=) I WAS SO HAPPY!!!!!!!

Think about it, more than 5 hours in the car and feeling carsick the whole time...it's sounds so terrible! haha...I'm glad I didn't have to experience that...XD

We stopped at Ipoh for awhile for daddy to pass some paint to another aunty...and of course stopped at quite a number of rest stops, not because we wanted to pee or poo or etc, but mainly because the car had some plastic thingy at the front wheel on the driver's side, which was loose or something and was making a lot of noise, so daddy had to stop frequently to check on it? And later he used masking tape to tape it down...AHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

Arrived at Penang at around 5? Which was really good, because we managed to beat the jam at the bridge! I didn't know that we didn't have to go through a jam because I was sleeping most of the way, so I only woke up when we were like half an hour from grandparent's condo...XD

Ah Ma (grandma) didn't think we would arrive so early...Ah Kong (grandpa) also, =)

Unpacked a few stuff...and then settled down on the sofa...=) Ate some tit bits here and there too...

Then had to bathe...(daddy and mummy went down to the club house to play ping pong...ah kong was already there...) so because 5 of us have to use the same toilet, we have to plan accordingly...if not we will find that there's a long queue waiting for the toilet, or maybe a "traffic jam..." XD...

I actually didn't want to bathe, because we were going to Long Beach, a super SMOKY place...=)

But the thought of coming back and showering, I felt so lazy...so I decided, smoke or not, I'm going to Long Beach CLEAN. =)

But this time it wasn't that smoky because we found a place where it wasn't so bad, so yeah...ate like a pig...one plate of nun, and another of plate of char kuey teow which I almost finished...not quite...XD

Went back home, and cleaned my face and watched abit of TV...I'm not sure if I did eat some tit bits after that or not...I've forgotten...zzzzzzz...

Time to sleep...went to sleep, and had a not-so-good-sleep that night...simply because, I was RUDELY AWAKEN by OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH AAHHHHHHH lol...I know that looks super ridiculous right...well it happen to be a MOSQUE blasting their stuff...I don't know how do you spell it, so I just simply type ooo and ahhhh...=)

It was SO SO SO SO SO SO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was like around 4:50 am? Around there...And, I find it really creepy hearing it, I don't really mind it when it's during the day...but when it's during the night, IT'S REALLY CREEPY. And it went on for sooooooooo long...I kinda of had to wait until it finished...=) HAIZ...how rude that was...waken up in the early morning...=)

2nd Day~

Woke up at precisely 9 AM...alarm rang and I woke up with a start...and decided to wake up and not "dilly-dally" in bed...as I usually do...=) There's something about "holidays" that you don't wanna sleep and miss anything...=) haha...

Daddy bought nasi lemak and noodles for breakfast...I ate erm...what did I eat already arrr???? lol...I think I just ate a packet of nasi lemak...yeah...I think so...=)

And then daddy had to go to town to bank in a check, and he asked me a few times if I wanted to go along, finally I said Ok...got my things and we left...and just as the lift arrived on the 14th floor (the floor we are staying on) daddy said he had to go back into the unit and get something...=) So I held the lift and waited for him, then he came and we left...

Btw, I haven't bathe yet that time...lol...I know, so dirty hor...but so happen the toilet was occupied at that time...and daddy was leaving already...=)

I helped daddy to bank in 2 checks, at RHB bank, the nearest one was downtown...=)

Then we left for Pulau Tikus Market...translated to English, Mouse/Rat Island Market...

We went to the market to buy "tai kau min?" Not sure how to spell it but it's a pancake with sugar peanut filling...everytime I go to Penang, if we have the opportunity, I will buy tai kau min, because we still haven't found a place near where we stay in Puchong where they sell those!

Anyway, I was praying and hoping that the stall won't be closed, and...TA DA! It was open!!! Wheee!!!!!! But daddy had a hard time finding a place to park so finally he parked near the stall and quickly ran to buy the pancakes, and quickly ran back...=)

He bought 6 with the brown sugar and 2 with the white sugar...I ate 1 and a half of the brown sugar and gave the other half to daddy...and daddy ate one with the white sugar...=)

Went back to the condo...and I immediately headed for the bathroom! =)

Bathe and then in while, it was almost lunch time...I think we went to Alaf to eat...it's some malay "chap fun" that grandparents like to eat...

I wasn't that hungry as I had a heavy breakfast and snack so I only ate a little...oh yeah...and there was this cat at the shop, which was bothering Ah Kong...it was so funny ok...

Ah Kong took fish, and the cat I think could smell it, so it was beside Ah Kong, "begging," for the fish...and then of and on, the cat will stand on its hind paws and put its front paws on Ah Kong's lap!!!!! Eeeewww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cat kept doing it, and then after awhile, went to the other side of Ah Kong and did the same thing...but Ah Kong kept saying, "NO NO NO!!!!" =)

Then mummy's nose was getting itch and she moved to another place...=) It's a wonder I didn't run or scream...(I don't like cats) finally Jie stood up and tried to shoo it away but it didn't budge!!!!! I was laughing quite a bit by then! =D Then I think Ah Kong finally decided to give it the bone with abit of the meat still on it...and threw it on the ground...wah! Immediately the cat started gobbling it!!!!!!! Then after it was finished, it begged for some more...but Ah Kong didn't give...so FINALLY, the cat moved away...WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!!!! =)

Left Alaf and we went to some place which I forgotten what's the name of it, to enquire about some Canopy Walk thingy...anyway, the place was closed for lunch so we headed for home...=)

Around 2 something I think, I followed ah ma down to near the pool side area, to collect a CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheeee!!!!!!! Aunty Kim? Anyway, ah ma's friend baked a chocolate cake for us...=)

It was still hot from the oven...but one thing about baked stuff is, you have to eat it COLD. Not when it's hot...because when it's hot, it doesn't really taste nice because you can't smell the chocolate or the smell of the baked goods la...=)

But I couldn't tahan, and decided to cut myself a small piece...not good...couldn't smell anything...=)

When it finally cooled, I took again, and it was YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moist...sweet...XD It tasted lagi better the next day...
Rested for awhile, and then...we watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...

The movie is so weird...haha...I mean, I didn't get it at first...finally slowly I got the story...that also some parts here and there I still don't understand...=)

Both my aunty and I thought that the movie was abit long...and slow...it took so long before the end came...and they could have moved the whole movie along faster!!!! The whole show was just too slow...haha...=)

After that, we had to bathe already, and we went to Golden River to eat dinner...had to wait quite awhile for our food to arrive...=)

After eating, we walked to a near-by shop that ah ma knows the lady who owns the shop? Anyway, went there for awhile and then went kinda of opposite that shop to a restaurant to order the dishes for the next day's dinner...(ah kong's early bday dinner)

Then we left for home...=)

What did we do after that? Oh yeah, I think we played a game for awhile...or maybe that was the day before? Ah! Can't remember...XD

Use the comp for awhile, and then went to tidur...

This time, I also had a-not-so-good-sleep again...not the mosque this time, but it was aunty kay...XD...Around 4 something again I think, I was half awake? And then suddenly I heard some really really scary coughing...it sounded like a drunkard coughing...=D Then I realize it was aunty kay who was coughing...(she was sleeping on the mattress on the floor) then when I looked down, I saw her shaking her body like when you cough...and then I was like traumatized...okay maybe I'm exaggerating...but I was seriously scared, I couldn't move, because what I saw scared me to death!

I saw my aunty, lying down, with her hair strewn on the pillow, and like blood on the mattress...okay, don't get scared now...but I seriously thought I saw that...at first I thought that I was dreaming, then I looked and looked and thought that it really looked like real blood!

And I "froze." I just stared and stared, and finally I decided to ask aunty kay if she was alright...I asked her in a loud whisper, "Aunty Kay, are you alright?" And there was silence.

After awhile, I heard, a, "mm..." and then aunty kay said, "yeah..." And I was like, "oh okie..." =)

My imagination ran wild that night...remember I just mentioned blood? Well, it happen to be the bed sheet...I realized that awhile later...the bed sheet had these really huge patterns on it, so I saw one of them, and since it was dark, I couldn't see very well, and thought it was blood!

Phew, I was so relief after that...cold sweat...=) Imagine how imaginations can run really wild!

Turned over and went back to sleep, just as I was nodding off, I thought I heard aunty kay coughing again! But I didn't pay any attention to it and kept telling myself to go to sleep, go to sleep...

3rd Day~

Woke up at 7 something in the morning...because I was awaken by ah ma and aunty kay coming into the room...and I decided to just wake up...ah ma wanted to use the comp in the room to do something...XD

Dilly dallied in bed for awhile, then got ready...I can't remember eating any breakfast...maybe I did...but I can't remember what it was...XD Oh wait, maybe I ate chocolate cake...yeah...

And when I told aunty kay my creepy experience the night before, she said, I must have been DREAMING. Then I said, I'm quite sure it was real...haha...then she said that I actually woke her up when I said, aunty kay are you okay? And at first she found that question funny, then she just said "yeah..." haha...=)

Oh yeah, because daddy didn't finish watching the curious case of benjamin button because he went to play ping pong, he watched from where he stopped the previous day...

We left the house at about 9:45 I think? To go to Pulau Tikus Market again, to makan makan makan and more makan...(ah kong left very early in the morning to go to the hospital for some check up? Not too sure) So it was just the 6 of us. Went to some half roadside half indoor kopitiam, and there was this truck selling a type of tai kau min too!!!!!!!! (btw, the other stall we usually buy from was closed that day...=(...)

So daddy ordered two, one for me and one for my sis...I didn't really like it...the margerine smell was too strong, and the batter was sticky...haha...but my sis, dad, and mum all prefered it to the previous day's...I was the only ODD ONE OUT. XD...ah well, everybody's taste buds are different...

After that, ah ma, aunty kay, mummy and I went to another nearby shop which sold char kuey teow and laksa...maybe they sold other things, I don't know...oh wait, they also sold "chap fun..." Mixed Rice...or Economy Rice...

Mummy ordered a bowl of laksa and aunty kay a plate of char kuey teow...the shop is so dingy dirty looking. =) btw, there was a cocroach on the table we sat at...=()

Later jie and daddy joined us...Jie ate chap fun...daddy didn't eat anything (except for a bit of aunty kay's char kuey teow), because he already ate a bowl of noodles at the previous shop...=)

After that, we left the shop, supposedly supposed to go to some yam shop...sells the yam that I like..and I think they also sell "tong soi" (however you spell it)...but in the end we didn't go to the shop due to some reasons...XD

Anyway, to summarize what I ate for lunch that day, I only ate, a tai kau min, a bit of my mummy's laksa soup and 2 strands of noodles, a spoonful of rice from my sis, and yeah...that's all...lol...
Instead we went to the nearest Baskin Robbins to buy some ice cream for ah kong's birthday, instead of a birthday cake....and it was also the 31st so yeah...

We had to wait for awhile for our ice cream, not because it was crowded, but because the people working there were like getting all messed up and jumbled up! haha...it was pretty funny =) Aunty kay bought 1 pint and 2 quarts!

1 whole quart was just Rum and Rasin, AH KONG'S FAVORITE! Luckily for me, he told me awhile back that he likes rum and rasin...=) And luckily there was still rum and rasin left...=)

While waiting for our ice cream, mummy went out, and then came back saying that the next door shop may intrest me...and then me and jie went to have a look...they sold clothes...I think second hand clothes, because I can smell they were re washed and stuff...selling quite cheaply, but 99% of the clothes there was of the weirdest fashion ever, maybe old fashioned...=)

Collected our ice cream awhile later, and left for home. On the way, we ta-paued goreng pisang and ubi...

Arrived home, ah kong was watching the news...awhile later, we had a movie marathon...XD

Watched The Boy in Stripped Pajamas...it's a pretty good show...has a really sad ending unfortunately, but I think the story is true...=/ It's about a little boy from a Nazis family, and Jews...

After that show, we watched, Changeling...that one happens to be more scary and sad then the pervious show...=) It's all about a single mother, looking for he lost son, and still having the hope that he's still alive after being told that he's dead...she also fought for injustice for other women...=)

After that, it was time to bathe...bathe already, then left at 7:20 to go to Ocean Bay for ah kong's bday dinner...

Uncle Johnny and Aunty Sally also joined us.

Ok, I must tell you something...Ocean Bay should actually be called, Windy Bay...it's so so so so so so so windy there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the ocean can also be windy so yeah...=D

The food there was not bad...there was asam curry fish, some egg thingy with mushrooms and onions and some other stuff in it...spring rolls, some kerabu mango thingy, which was super duper terribly spicy, and last of all chicken wings. As most of you all know, I don't like chicken...if possible, I don't wanna eat it...except for certain types...(fussy)

Suprisingly, the chicken wings were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate 4 of them, or maybe 5? haha...and as my sis said, it's an improvement...ahahaha...

After dinner, daddy, mummy, jie, and I walked for awhile at the "pasar malam" around that area...there are always these "night stalls" that will make alot of business from "ah mo langs..." haha...XD...nothing much...didn't buy anything...=) The rest went back home first...

Went back, and then settled down for awhile, and we had our "birthday celebration" that night...one night before ah kong's actual birthday! =) will post some pics later...=)

Ate some ice cream, I didn't like the rum and rasin, never liked it...I ate chocolate fudge and some mango thingy instead...

Then while the rest went to bed around 11, mummy, jie, and I stayed up til past 12 because we didn't want to be awaken by the fireworks after 12 midnight...

So we decided to watch Australia to kill some time...DON'T EVER WATCH THAT SHOW...it's soooooooooooooooo boring, until I nearly fell asleep! =D I don't even get anything in that show...but there's this really cute small little guy acting in it, and he's soooooooooo cuteeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! =)

At 12 sharp, suddenly we heard, BOOM BOOM BANG BANG BONG!!!!!!!!!!! And we realized that it was FIREWORKS!!!!!!! There was this really good show of fireworks at Hard Rock Hotel side? Not sure if that's what it's called...

But unfortunately, WE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =(((((((( sobzzzzzz...

We were blocked by the other block from the same compound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mummy said that we should have walked to the other block before 12 and we could have seen the lovely fireworks!!!! Ish man...haiz...we could see some of and on, when they were high enough...but hardly...we heard more of boom and bangs...lol...

But we could see other fireworks at other places...there was this one particular spot that kept lighting fireworks...hehe...after about 15 mins, we went back to watching the boring show...=)

Oh and ah kong woke up when the fireworks started...so he joined us for awhile...=) The rest didn't...=)

zzzzzzz...went to sleep at around 1?

And had a disturbed sleep again...there was this super loud indian music playing from goodness knows where, and then there were talking voices, and laughter and motorcycles ramming their motor, and other loud noises...but after awhile, I managed to go to sleep, partly because I was super tired already...=)

4th Day~

Woke up at around 10 am. Actually I put alarm for 9...but I was too tired to wake up at that time so I slept for almost another hour...lol...

Aunty Kay asked me if I heard her coughing again, and after she mentioned it, I rememberd that, yes...I did hear her...lol...SO I'M QUITE CONVINCE NOW THAT I WASN'T DREAMING. (we were teasing her about it in the car...XD)

This was our last day in Penang, we were supposed to leave at 10...but ended up leaving 10 min to 12...=) We had a short time or prayer before we left...especially praying for ah kong as he is going to have an operation on Monday which is tomorrow...

After saying our farewells, and last goodbyes, we left...still waving when we left the guardhouse! =)

Ate lunch at Ipoh around 2. I slept practically all the way...zzzzzz

We went to some kopitiam which daddy, mummy, and aunty kay ate there when they were younger...=) After that we went to have "mua chi" at some stall in pasing pinji? haha I don't know if it's there and if that's how you spell it...=)

This mua chi stall has been there for ages!!!!!!!!!!!! It's yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe...and they also sell "fa sang wu..." =) It's like melted peanut butter...XD

After that we went to poh poh's house...stayed there for slightly over an hour, and left for KL.

We left Ipoh at 4 something, and arrived in KL at 5 something, almost 6!

So fast!!!!!!!!!! haha...jie said that daddy drove real fast...(I was sleeping again) hehe...dropped aunty kay at her place, and left for subang jaya to pass sue anne's family something...

After that, we ate and ta-paued dinner in Puchong and went back home.

HOME SWEET HOME! XD

Went immediately to the shower, and after that immediately UNPACKED. Can't stand it...must unpack immediately...=)

Then later use the comp for awhile, and went to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

~The End~

Ok, that's a really long "story" of my 3 nights 4 days Penang trip...hope you could "tahan" it...=)

Party at the Chay's

Went to Michelle's house on Friday...Christmas Day...

Dad fetched us to Sue Anne's house at around 4 pm...as we were going to follow her there...Lily came super late...if I can say....because she was "shopping." And then she actually wanted to go back home first to take her bag and other stuff, but it was so late her parents dropped her off at Sue Anne's house immediately after they finished "shopping."

Anyway, we went into the car at around almost 5, and not too long after that Lily arrived...so she hopped into the car, and we ZOOMED OFF!!!!!!!!! =)

The party was supposed to start at 5 pm...but we arrived there like 5:30 and guess what????? WE WERE THE FRIST TO ARRIVE...So awesome hor???? =)

Then Michelle took me on a "tour," because I haven't been to her place before...their house arrr...SO HUGEEEE!!!!!!!! Compared to mine of course...=)

Then Lily said that all the Chay Children's rooms are like Powerpuff Girls...because, Michelle's room is Pink, Melvin's is Blue, and Deric's is Green!!!!! And the powerpuff girls are pink, blue, and green!!!!!! lol...XD...

Stayed in Michelle's room for awhile, talking, then later I wanted to see their dog house...because Sue Anne said that their dog house bigger than her room even!!!!! Wah seriously very big...=)

Then after that, Caleb, Daniel, Jonathan, and Angel arrived...so stayed down there lor...=) Talked talked talked, then waited for awhile, then most of the rest came...except for Esther and Jane, and Lean Na, and Yvonne...

So we started eating after saying "grace," then Sue Anne and I were so lazy to get up from our seats...and Melvin kept saying go and eat la...but then when we went out to eat, there was a "long queue." So Sue Anne and I said, ada long queue la...so we waited for awhile then ate lor...We had a "private table." lol...there was another small round table near the food...the rest sat at the other table...which was farther away...only Michelle, Lily, Sue Anne, and I sat on the other table...then later a few others came over...=)

Anyway...later went back into the house and went up to Michelle's room...talked talked talked...then somebody called us down to sing carols...

So we went down, then Mr Melvin made a "big fuss" about us sitting at the bottom stairs...he asked us to sit at the "circle" but we said don't want. Sit at the stairs also can...but he kept asking us until finally we moved nearer to the circle of people...but I still sat on the last stair...hehe...but still part of the circle la...XD

Sang a few carols then we were divided into 4 groups to play the first game...which was Charades...

It was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way people acted, and guessed, it was so funny!!!!!!!! And somebody said something yuckie...ewwww...only Sue Anne will understand what I mean...=)

The last game was Muderer, or Mafia...whichever you wanna call it...

That was also funny...and the funniest thing was, the penalty was eating a plate of watermelons and a bowl of cucumbers...for example if all the "police" loses, then we have to eat...or if the "muderers" lose then they eat lor...only the normal people called humans or etc, are the only ones who don't need to eat no matter what....=)

Luckily for me, I have some reasons which I can't eat watermelon and cucumbers...=D I was so happy!!!!! haha...because if not, I will have to eat like 3 times???? haha...and some more the last 2 rounds, the cucumbers had WASABI in it!!!!!!!!! (not sure how to spell)

So everytime I'm supposed to eat, then they will say, "eh, supposed to have one more person..." Then they will say who??? Then I will say me...but I can't eat...so then the last 2 rounds, Leanne said, har, Charissa again??? ayuh...because I can't eat...so yeah...XD

The part was fun except for a "sesat-ed" person who kept wanting to take a picture of Me and Sue Anne but we refused...=) lol...

Ok la...that's all for now...

Charissa

Christmas...

Had a Christmas Eve Celebration at my church on Thursday evening...

Went there early...because mummy and daddy had to help carve the turkey...so yeah...

Nothing to do there...friends came later, so I ended up walking up and down...because I was cold and nothing to do...and then I got tired of walking and sat down...but I was so bored....=)

Anyway, finally, Nikki arrived!!!!!! Wheeee!!!!!! Like so long never see her already...lol...she came with Eeleen...her school friend...seen her before...

Anyway, then later Lily and Michelle arrived also...

Then since I ate already, I watched them eat...and talk also la...then Caleb was also there, and then later Daniel, Jamie, and Sam came...so it was a very cramped "booth." lol...

Anyway, so yeah...we laughed like crazy that time, because Lily was explaining something in so a disgusting and funny way, and then Michelle choked like crazy because she was eating...and I "beat" her back, lol...to "help" her....lol...=) But very lightly only la...

Then later we found Ryeanne and Rachel!!!!!! They were so cuteeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Looked like flower girls...=) Then we played with them for awhile...found us some seats...then talked for awhile, and took a few pics...I will try to get it from Nikki...it was her cam...=)

Then the "service" started...there were alot of candle lighting...and almost the whole time, Ryeanne was asking me so many questions about the whole service...she was so cuteee...asking me why this and why that...=)

After service...I talked to Nikki, then Lily and Michelle, because Nikki went somwhere else and stuff...

I left quite early...=)

Came home, was so tempted to open my presents...but I just opened one or two and left the rest for 12 midnight....=) lol...

Lily's present was the most HIARIOUS of all!!!!!!!!! It's abit disgusting at first, but later you will have a good laugh!!!! XD

Anyway, I'm lazy to blog about all the details of that day so yeah...

Rumah Shalom

Went to Rumah Shalom, an orphanage today...

We arrived there and waited for them to finish their lunch first, and then we played games in the basketball field across the house...

First game was, a "whacking game." haha...basically, you need to know each other's names, and let's say, Grace is in the middle, and let's say we call out Sue Anne's name, so Grace has to whack Sue Anne with a bottle, unless, Sue Anne calls another name first before Grace manages to hit Sue Anne...so yeah...it was pretty funny to see how they played it...

Second game, was CAT, MOUSE, and DOG. There are 3 bottles, the smallest is a mouse, the medium sized is a cat, and the big sized is a dog. So for example, the cat has to catch the mouse, the mouse the dog, and the dog the cat...don't ask me why it's in this arrangement, but that's how we played it. Once your caught with two bottles in your hand, you have to do the "chicken dance!"

So we had to hold the bottle and "revolve" it around our body a few times. Mouse was 2 times, Cat 3 times, and Dog 4 times...

Jamie, was so bad...he purposely, revolve the bottle around himself, dreadfully slow, so that, when the other bottles catches him up, then he quickly pass it on to the person next to him which is Sue Anne, and after her, Me, and etc. So means it's harder for us to quickly pass the bottle to the next person because the next bottle is like just next to you! Means that the chances of you getting caught with two bottle is very great!Silly la he, purposely wana do it to all of us girls...>:(

Caleb was the first one to do the chicken dance...lol...he was so HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way he danced, looked so much like a girl, and Lily and I were laughing so hard until it was so hard to stop!!!!!!!!!!! =D

And the 3rd game was Blow Wind Blow...a person has to stand in the middle again, and the rest of us sit down in a circle. So the person in the middle shouts out, Blow Wind Blow! And we reply, Blow What? And the middle person shouts out anything for example, Blow All Those Who Are Wearing Black! So all those who are wearing black have to change places, as in, move to another spot.

I was the first one to get out...simply because, I didn't know how to play the game, and Grace didn't explain the instructions I think...so yeah...so when they said blow all those who are wearing black, I was so blur...and I didn't know what to do...and I was wearing black!!!! =)

Then Jamie and Lily and Su Xin shouted to me and said that I have to move to another spot...and I was like, what??? So I got up, and then it was too late...so I had to go in the middle. And I also didn't know what to do after that. I was like, now what do I do??? And they said I have to say blow wind blow, and blablabla...so I said it, then I didn't know that, after saying it, I have to try and get into an empty spot myself...so I still stood there like a really dumb person, and they told me that I have to try to move to an empty spot...luckily for me, I found one! ahaha...I seriously looked like a stupid person there...=)

After games, we went back to the house and sang carols...the kids or rather more of teenagers liked Felis Navidad so much!!!!!!! haha...

And after carols, we gave out the Project Joy stuff....=)

I met a really cute and adorable little indian boy...his name is Steven (my dad's name) and he is 5-years-old! He could pass for 4, or 3 as Miss Jean Ann said...

AAAAAA!!!!!!! He's so so so so so so so so CUTEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a pic of him...I'll post it in the next post if I don't have any problems uploading from my phone to the comp...=)

Anyway, it was a good experience visiting the orphanage!

I also want wei!!!!!!!!!! lol...

But alot of the kids couldn't like finish it, because it was too much...more of younger kids la...

Ryeanne was so cute today...she was wearing a mauve dress, and had stockings on...Rachel look like a little ballerina!!!!!!!! XD

Rachel was a lil' naughty today...you see, Sue Anne has this bottle that when you press the middle, water will squirt out! So Rachel saw Sue Anne doing it, and wanted to do it too!!!!

Then Rachel did it on Caleb!!!! ahahahaha...Ryeanne also, but I had to help her press the middle because her hands aren't strong enough...XD...

Then Rachel, was naughty and said she wana squirt on Caleb's pants...and Caleb immediately said, NO! And tried to "defend himself" by blocking the spout and stuff... But then dunno why later, he kena, and he looked as if he "pee-ed" in his pants!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

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...=)
