Freedom! :D

i'm going to have to blog as much as i possibly can during this holidays becos i realised tht next year i can only blog like once or twice every few weeks. Tough luck... it means i hv to give up mapling too cos i heard Form four really drives you nuts.

But for tonight we are FREEEEEE !!! Hahaha, one night with no parents is fun. Mum and dad had to attend this dinner celebration back in my dad's hometown for a one-month-old baby. Yeah she's my niece. And the first great-grandchild for my grandparents. So i am now aunty to two girls. Haih feel so old. We were supposed to come along but all of us had no interest in travelling all the way to kampar just to see a baby that half of the time sleeps and cries. Hey, after all,she's only a month old. Should only be more fun to play with when she's older right.

Steff is also very free since her exam ended a few days ago and now she's complaining she's bored. Hahaha and to think during her exam she had barely any time for anything. She and mum went shopping today for a prom dress and a graduation dress... i'm still not into shopping or dresses or shoes or anything which is weird becos every girl i know is in love with shopping. O_O

But for tonight there's nobody to nag me hehehe. Better savour it before it gets too late.

Taa~

Tomato Face-d

The tomato face-d girl has arrived in town!! 0.0
Bwahaha. So funny. Actually its the opposite of that. The reason for being tomato-face-d was because yesterday my mum took my sis and i for some facial appointment... well actually it was Steff who wanted it so my mum booked me in too. Well, i wouldnt say i looked forward to it because i'd been through it before and i knew what was awaiting me and NO facial treatment doesnt mean u just sit back and relax. At least, it was mostly trauma for me.

Ok, ok maybe not ALL that traumatic. Steff nvr went through it before so she was planning to sleep during the facial. i was hesitant all the way while in the car. Hey she wasnt the one going for major extracting! At least that was what the lady called it, extracting.

The procedure was actually pretty relaxing, as i might put it... u know, after the hot steam dan lain-lain... but then came the extracting. One word ti describe it: OUCH. Man did it HURT LIKE CRAZY!! They had to squeeze out all the whiteheads and blackheads and being a typical teenager i cant help having lots of pimples can i??!! Then the lady came in and said that my skin was "extremely congested" and tht i had to bear with a "little bit" of pain. My foot la, a little bit of pain. Her fingers were all over my forehead and then scaled down to the side hairlines where she spent ages and then to my cheeks which hurt the most. When she was done she said that i had to have this follow-up extraction becos my skin was too congested and they couldnt remove all of it and tht some pimples were extremely stubborn.ZZZzzz.

Me. Right after the facial thingy. Face as red as a tomato. =.=

After a whole lot of pain and suffering, they showed me a mirror to let me see all the damage they'd done. Haha. i say DAMAGE becos i had a heart attack seeing this red swollen face with scarlet patches everywhere. Heck did i look a horror. i had to re-wire my brain in order to tell myself tht it was me in the mirror.


It wasnt as red when i was done. You didnt see the beginning.

But then after that everything went fine. They gave this massage and scrub and mask to somewhat "relax" the skin after all the extraction it must've been stressful. Although how much my skin could take i wasnt too sure.

This mirror was fun. i could fix it at any angle and take pics of diffrent ppl. Or objects. :D


This lady was the one who kept yapping. She yapped and yapped and yet her mouth could nvr dry out. Trust businesswomen. She was trying to get my mum to but all these products for my skin and my sis's. She was the same lady who yapped at me for being active and perspiring too much and therefore triggering so much pimples.

i tell you! What does she take us for? Do u hv any idea how much it all cost???

Thank goodness my mum has common sense. We ended up just purchasing the usual cleanser and moisturizer. .. and after all the talk the same lady started yapping abt my dehydrated skin that was so dry and my sis' oily skin and so on... hey we cant help loving swimming ok?? And i nvr get sunburnt. And i still put on cream and moisturizer... but if its dry then i suppose i cant help it.

And so tht is the story of how i was tomato-face-d. I was too lazy to blog on Friday and i'm still debating whether to hv this follow-up treatment. Fortunately, thanks the other treatments now my face is no longer a tomato.Though if i end up with permanent scars i'll sue them grrr. Period. i'm not too ecstatic abt having to be tomato-face-d again in 2 weeks time, nor anytime soon.

PIGGG... !!

Haih yesterday and today i have been pigging and pigging and pigging non-stop. Thanks to the bout of a cold i had a really unhealthy day yesterday. Ate like, lunch, then yoghurt. A few hours later ate cereal, but the cold didnt get any better. So i slept awhile then ate mee soup aarrgh. Shouldnt hv done tht.

i thought i was done cos my tummy was bloated..but then hours later my cold felt so bad i ate nestum. Bad bad bad bad bad idea. =.= Even falling ill doesnt excuse me from the pigging i did yesterday.

My reaction when i see yummy food.

Today i didnt hv a proper lunch... sort of ate two pau and a sausage bun and my tummy was back to bloatedness. Haih. Maybe i drank too much water again. Anyway, my pigging wasnt so bad today.. though i did eat abit of bihun and another bun. Man gotta stop with the carbo intake. If i continue like this i'll be as fat as pok next year lol.

Anyway i'm going to quit yapping abt my horrible eating habits and complaints. After all, nobody can do anything abt it anyway. If only i could live on nothing but popiah everyday.. yeah,that would be my dream.

If only.

Phone Examination

HAHAHAHAH choo is mad at me adi. i guess i saw this coming but hey i recieved the opposite of the response i thought i'd get lol. He will thank me one day for it, he'll see. But based on his reaction i dont think he would be happy to see me anytime soon next year. if you're reading this choo, dont la angry de. After all, you only get one birthday a year u know. :)

i'm counting down the days to the time we are going to langkawiii... nowadays its getting boring at home. Currently i'm down with a cold AGAIN thanks to our wonderful weather switches and couldnt run today T.T in fact, i was so bored one night i decided it was time to put my phone's abilities to the test.

Test no.1: Ability to create natural camera effects of its own

Wooo... lol thats just my room wall. Sis had the night light on when i entered but my phone certainly has done a remarkable job making it look ghostly. so i think.

Test no.1 result: Pass :D

Test no.2:The ever-famous "night mode"
i was curious to see if this night mode really worked since my last sony phone nvr really did the job...

Subject 1 without night mode..


Subject 1 with night mode on...

Hmmm not bad. It really does work after all.

Subject 2 also tried out for the test. a most adorable test subject i must say. :D

Subject 2: invisible


.. now you see her. :D

Test 2: Pass :)

After that i had abit of fun myself.

Camwhoring in the dark. Now thats something i can get used to. Cos there's nothing to look at! XD

My fat kitty. She makes anything her bedtime basket... in this case its my pyjama drawer.

On the whole, my phone PASSED the ability test :D
Finally,a fully functional phone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOO YUN KITT ! XD

Wahhh banyaknya birthdays this month. i know there's plenty only i cant seem to remember all. Anyway, its mr choo's bday today!!! Ahahaha nanti he read this sure MALU wan. i wasnt planning on this but since he so malu i decided it would be good for him because i believe in ppl conquering their fears when they face it. Yes so i am actually a very good friend. i am helping him out as a birthday present. XD

Oh and i didnt take that photo. It was all courtesy of Ajay using my phone and yup choo was pissed. Exactly how pissed i'm not too sure becos he always seem to hide his emotions. But that is just observation as the eye sees. i must say ajay is an incredible photographer; thank u mr kumar puri. :D Credits to him for managing to grab a still of what i believe is the squirmiest camera-shy being ever. It is unbelievably impossible to get a good one and he was successful. Grats to him lol. :D

As for Kenny, have a very happy 15th celebration and eat more cake and grow fat. XD And if u dont sleep at 10 anymore, then what time do u sleep? 11?

Luv eshter and remember: NO NID MALU . . .:D

Late Nights

Yup trouble is all i get into these days. Yesterday my mum banned me from touching the comp cos she was angry that i sleep incredibly late every night. She blames the comp and if not then she points at the tv. I disagree. In fact, she's all wrong. She's so wrong. I sleep very early indeed everyday. Try 4am in the morning. If thats not early enough than i dunno what is.

My comp. The troublemaker of the household.

OK, so i was being sarcastic.
True, it sucks to sleep so late; i dont know anybody who sleeps like me. Choo goes to bed by 10pm,the time i usually take my bath ahaha. 1am is the normal time, but since the holidays started my bedtime went from 2am to 3am and then 4am. Yesterday night i was planning to sleep earlier but then there was this really interesting movie on and i just couldnt miss it so i stayed up till 4am and then stressed myself to sleep at 4.30 after rolling around for half an hour. Yes, falling asleep is stressful for a nocturnal human like me.

If i'm not careful 5am will soon be my new bedtime. and when next year comes i dont think i could do with just 2 hours of sleep. Mum and Dad hv been bugging me abt my late nights but sometimes when i go to bed at 2 i roll around till 4am. Man, maybe i need sleeping pills.

Pastimes During Hols

Nowadays i'm really getting annoyed with my mum cos she's starting to bug me abt preparing for form 4. i did try in vain to learn add maths and i'm not bothering to try and understand it till my sis exams are over. She then asked me to read all those Bukit Kepong and all and i tried again but OMG do u hv any idea how much a bore it was. It was like sejarah all over again dah la so THICK! Stupid author. Stupid syllabus. Stupid Kementerian Pelajaran make us read all this ridiculous novel thats so freakin boring.

I much rather spend my time doing my hobbies. For example..

This is always one of my fav pastimes. XD Ppl like making collections of stamps and seashells and so on but i collect newspaper articles of my fav tennis players hehehe. it looks little at the beginning but now i hv a whole file filled with them lol.

Or actually i prefer reading above all, including the computer. if the book is really good i can get hooked and wont do anything else aside from that. Unfortunately, i've read all the books i love and re-read them and now there's barely a chance i get to find a good book that suits me well.


I loveeeee this book. i dont get chick flicks and i still dont read much romance. but classical stories are just gems in my eyes :)

What i usually listen to, even on my ipod.

Music. Who can live without it?

But obviously the best thing to pass the time is still...



... MAPLING! :D This is a pretty old pic and yes i dressed like crap cos i had nothing better to do. lol.

I cant wait for our trip. Looking forward to food and chocolate most of all ahaha. Langkawi has really cheap chocolate and i buy the same kind every year XD

Hey, i hv a sweet tooth. And its a holiday after all.

HAPPY BELATED BDAY TO JOANNA AND JOON ! :D

Sooo sorry i terlupa abt it lol. i did wish them in sms form but i forgot to wish them on my blog so i'm doing it now ;D



Joanna is at OBS and i'm not sure when she's coming back but we celebrated earlier de so i'm wishing her happy bday officially hahha. i dunno whether she received my sms or not since she's at OBS.



As for Joon, happy 15th birthday to u too. I know u don really read my blog but i know u got my sms. And i'm glad u r very "famous" on my blog hehe, though i'm not paying u so there. XD

Hope both of u have a very happy birthday and may all ur wishes come true.

Luv eshter :)

Truly, Madly. Deeply Annoyed

I had the chance to write abt 2 to 3 days ago but i hadnt any mood because i was too pissed and annoyed.

How can u not feel annoyed and regretful when u had the chance to watch the most exciting exhibition match held just a stone's throw away and MISSED it thanks to your parents????
On Tuesday i just went mapling straight away becos i was so upset abt missing the match. it was incredibly fun and it wasnt even full!!!!! oh the lucky lucky lucky fans! some even brought their kids which were waaay to young to appreciate tennis and have no idea who the players are and i cant even go when i've been longing to see them for years.

The match was the best of the best, what with McEnroe and Borg in it, it was pure classic. I was yelling the whole time in the hall with my dad till my sis couldnt even study ahahaha. I enjoyed it so much;tht after that i was left feeling so bad i missed it i refused to blog abt it. And i'm still not gonna blog abt it now, nor ever. I wished wish wished i had been there. I almost cried becos of that and got a telling off for being selfish. Or so my mum accuses me of.

My dad says that he'll bring me next year. Lol, who do u even know they'll hold it again next year??? And even so there's no guarantee they will hv it in KL again. After all, they've been here twice already, who knows they wont switch to Singapore or some other nearby country. Right now, i dont wanna think anymore, becos i still feel really upset. Call me lame, emo, whatever u want, i've already heard it from my mum and i dont care for more. She thinks its just abt seeing the players and getting their autographs but she doesnt know its abt the thrill, the excitement, the adrenalin, the drama, etc. right in front of your eyes with players you can only catch once in a blue moon. Its not the same as watching on tv. It nvr is.

Adios 2008 Tennis Season

Well i'll be damned. The Shanghai Masters didnt end the way i wanted it to be and it was worse after Djokovic won it today. Oh well. The season's over now and we are all looking forward to the 2009 season next year! Cant wait cant wait cant wait :)

It was a weird and exciting season plus it was even weirder when i switched from supporting Nadal to Federer. Both of them ended with injuries lol. i keep trying to join Nadal's fan club but they didnt send me the confirmation email and it took forever to load the bloody page. At least Feds' didnt take more than a few secs. So i just joined Feds' club and nobody can blame me for not joining nadal's cos i did try and wat a waste of my time haiihhh. Take one hour oso wont load zzzzz. Not my fault lol.

Next month finally going holiday yayyyy!!! :D :D :D
i miss the beach soooo much whole year nvr go T.T Every year can go Langkawi is more than better for me no need go overseas holiday. This time i'm going to make sandmen. Since we have no snow in M'sia i'm going to use sand to make a sand snowman. Sandman, more like it. Looking forward to it very very much i'm already dreaming of the slide at the pool ahahahaha. Yup it has a slide. Last year we couldnt be bothered to get out from the pool and run all the way up to the top so we climbed up from the mouth.XD Hey, nobody else was around!

I'll be going armed with my phone haha. Now i'm off to maple. Nvr maple for days de.

Adios!

Shanghai Masters Up Close

Couldnt touch the bloody comp for days thanks to my older bro ishhh. He and his Warcraft extension haih. Anyway, few days ago i went picture-hunting of the Shanghai Masters 2008 and for the first time it was a fruitful search! i scoured the internet here and there and ended up with all this. :D i dont remember myself being any happier tht day lol.


My last post i posted the 2007 poster so this is the latest 2008 one. Somehow or other Federer was the only one smiling(he's usually always the only one) del Potro looked like a pale drug addict, Davydenko looked like he was being hypnotized, Murray looked drunk, Tsonga looked like he was going to beat somebody up and Simon... well, Simon just looked horrible. The only good posers were Feds and Djokovic lol.

And Andy Roddick is missing. i really dunno where he fly to.

Besides, I also grabbed a few pics from the past Shanghai Masters! :D Excuse the size of the pics if its too small but no choice i had to put medium or it was too huge to post.


Another 2007 shot. Well, at least more of them are smiling. heheh.


From the year 2006. Again, like i said before, Feds is always the only one smiling. Well, sort of. Whats wrong with u others?! Trying act cool issit hah?


This is a candid from 2005. Agassi was still around lol. Nadal's first time and he looked so young and innocent awwww. XD


2004 with some unknown dudes i don recognise lol. Nice shoes,though, Roddick.


i'm abit lost from here onwards. This was like, what, 6 yrs ago??? Lol, Feds still had his ugly long hair and Safin was there and so was Moya and Ferrero and Agassi. Plus a few more unkown dudes.

The opening ceremony at the 2008 tournament. Murray pls button your jacket.

Ready? 1.. 2... 3....

... pose! XD

Again, Murray, button your jacket.


Feds at his press conference. Always with his hair, off or on court lol.


This is one of my favs. :D Juan Martin del Potro, part time model on the catwalk part time pro tennis player lol. He striked the best pose hahahahaha.
Here we finally find the missing Roddick. They are all happy-go-lucky with each other but on court they play like mad spanish bulls in a fight. And Murray killed Feds later on. Haih.

Anyway, tennis is abt to be finished quite soon. i know i should stop abt tennis but i couldnt resist all those pics heheh. Yesterday it was heartbreaking to watch Federer surrender to Murray when he really did try although he was struggling with injury. i was kek sam all night complaining to my sis and when i woke up i was still kek sam and whole day couldnt get the match outta my head. It was annoying, true, but now i'm really really REALLY happy cos just now DAVYDENKO KICKED MURRAY OUT hahahahahaha. This time i dunno whether i was any happier today lol.

The Showdown of Champions in KL is next Tuesday, and since early this year i was crying and begging my parents to let me go and they said they didnt mind but when i went to check the price WALAO WEI can die de man. i mean, if u want the really good seat up close to take pics. If u wan lousy one then no use baik watch at home oso better. Yesterday i begged my dad again but my mum said don kacau anymore cos its not worth it and bla bla bla. i know its pricey and all this is a once in a lifetime experience to witness a real match and its so close yet so far. I dont mind using my pocket money to pay if my parents think it so exp. After missing Nadal's match last year i was so happy when i realised Feds and Blake and the rest were coming again and i sooooooooooooo want to see them live, even without Nadal. Until now its still incredibly upsetting but i hv to be considerate becos its not fair to my parents.

Lol,now i feel like crying. Sometimes i feel like "Nvm,its ok just watch on tv .. its so exp and it would cost too much from your parents.." and another part says " Its like once in a lifetime u get to watch, and you're just going to watch on tv like all the other matches?"

i dont wanna think abt it anymore. Tennis might just be matches on tv to my mum, but it means an experience of a lifetime to me. After all, i dont think they would be coming to M'sia again anytime soon next year. i'd just wish my parents would look at it this way and understand.

Tennis tennis tennis!

I dont really know what to blog abt today cos nothing happened at all. i'm bored so quickly with mapling and would love to watch some tennis now but its already over. Zzzzz... of all things the timing was at the wrong time at around 6 something instead of early morning. But no matter at least Feds won today and that is a relief. Now i dont feel so panicky anymore. :D

This was last year's Shanghai Masters poster. All eight of them had their own special Chinese Warrior statue sculpted almost exactly like them lol. Good posers eh, all of them? XD I have yet to find this year's one.. though there arent anymore statuettes hahah.

The only bad part was that Murray won and i hate Murray. . and i'll keep hating him till the day he retires lol. i was only too pleased when Tsonga crashed out ahahahahahaha in your face buster. somehow all the players i hate seem to be the ones doing well, e.g Murray, Djokovic and Tsonga(before this) and the ones i support seem to go downhill haih. First Nadal pulled out then Feds lost and then Del Potro lost. Today was abit better with del Potro kicking Tsonga out and Feds winning but i'm still pissed that Djokovic and Murray made the semis. They are the most undeserving arrogant pigs that existed in the tennis circuit.

Anyway, Ling was planning a sleepover tomoro but i replied their sms-es quite late and they're not on9 so i dont really know whether its confirmed. Place oso haven confirm yet lol. Typical Ling and Jia. This time i'll leave it to them but NO its not going to be my house! >.<

When Laziness Overpowers Duty...

Today i just couldnt move my butt to the treadmill and steps and skipping rope. i simply REFUSED. usually thts wat happens everyday but today i really had no mood to do the same old routine i've been doing for six months now. oleh itu, as the title says, i decided this would be my "lazy day" or some sort of break day when i dont change into my sports attire. i ate like,
1. 1 red bean bun
2. 2 fat kuih ketayap
3. cereal + milk

err...actually thats abt it. it looks little but trust me its ALOT(mind the size and quantity). and so that was my dinner. really bad considering i didnt run today so now i will just have to rely on the speed of my metabolism...if i even have any speed in the first place. or else by now i think i've gained 3kg adi. hehehe.

Oh and after that i ate grapes too. usually after running and all i sit and peel oranges but i decided it was grapes day. Anyway, i've had enough of my skin ending up like this everytime i peel oranges:

"Corroded" skin as i call it. i use tht word from the science book that describes acid and alkaline as "corrosive" so since it wasnt burns or so it had to be corroded XD.


Yup, as in corroded thanks to the juice tht squirts out lol. i hv tht same skin prob tht choy has only mine is all over my toes and in between my fingers which is sucky so if the juice from the orange is too acidic then it gets like this.

Its only shows the effects when the juice is too acidic. other than tht my fingers are fine all the way. u only suffer from burning sensation, numbness, itchyness, abit of pain, pins and needles...ok nvm. it does hurt but for awhile only and its definitely worth it if the oranges are sweet and yummy :D

Ok short one today. Feds just lost and so my mood is nt right for tennis right now unless he wins the next round robin matches :( . Cmon Feds u did i once u can do it again! :D

Off to Italiannies! :D

Yup we celebrated Joanna's bday yesterday. It was a pretty early celebration but no matter. i was extremely late and was the last when i arrived at pyramid and then couldnt find the way into Italiannies. Zzzzz . Poor Ling,i kept calling her phone but i was really lost lol. Sry Joanna for being late...sry sry sry again.

Anyway, we ordered the food, talked, bla bla bla..oh yea there were 10 ppl who came. Anna,Ling, ChanTong, jia, me, joyi, laa, joon, sarah and joanna's bro. Although we shared our food(except CT and joon) the bill still came up a whopping RM***.** Haha. i think i better leave it to imagination :P.


The scene of the restaurant. Really nice, i loved the enviroment and the deco. Mind the birthday girl there. XD

And now...

... FOOD TIME! :D


This was mine and jia's. We shared it cos jia said it was really filling. i was still really unsure though becos i believed my stomach was twice the size of everyone's at the moment.


Gone in secs. It was extremely tomato-ish but jia hated the tomato so i ate them hehe. we were so hungry it was gone before we knew it but i did fill us up anyway. Ling and anna could only manage half of theirs(..............) and tapau-ed the rest. oh well they nvr seem to eat much anyway and they NVR eat at all.....

...though they did enjoy the soup. They loved it so much they made everyone try it and spent half and hour savouring it lol XD


This was joyi's and laa's.


They did do abit of arguing over their food. Something over mushrooms and then who took the most and so on i think...


Joon posing for laa's camera with his dinner. You wouldnt believe what he ordered and recieved.


GARLIC BREAD AND CHEESE SPINACH DIP XD. Initially he thought it was slices of thick fish salmon in the pic on the menu but then it turned out like that..

Slurped up clean as a whistle lol . You cant blame him he was hungry and it was just bread u know... though all of us wondered whether it would be enough for him. XD
We did ask him to order more if he wanted but he said the cheese was enough adi so we left him tht way. :)

After that we walked around to "digest" our food before we had dessert and joyi and laa went to buy a polo t-shirt at PoloHaus while me and jia and anna and ling walked around aimlessly while waiting. All of them seem to be dressed to the nines and made me feel so shabby :( especially when ling wore those killer 3.5cm heels! When it got late we decided it was time for ice-cream! :D Most of us were already dizzy from fantasising so we went to Haagen Dazs and sat down and looked at the menu. Only to be heartbroken at the prices we saw. Laa suggested we go Baskin Robbins but all of us were abit reluctant to move becos it looked rude when the waitress came up to take our order. Laa got up and beckoned all of us to follow her saying loudly tht her "mom had already come" to pick us up so tht the waittress heard. LOL all of us were staring at her with goldfish expressions and kept saying seriously? seriously? SERIOUSLY? We thought she was just jk lol. Turned out she was serious alright.

So in the end we all got up,apologised and made our way to BR feeling really bad. That feeling didnt last tht long though. Happy faces enlightened around when we reached BR hahahaha. So much cheaper and just as yummy :D:D .


i was too busy enjoying it to take a pic of my sherbet. So i had to do with one of the empty carton lol. XD


Joon clearly loved his icecream. So while we sat and talked...


.. . we "explored" anna's pressies. Yup, she's a FRIENDS freak alright.


Crazy nutty joanna she can watch FRIENDS all night long XD .

Thats abt it i guess. Went home, came on9 but too malas to blog so chatted with the same ppl i just said bye to at pyramid and maple abit. Well,it was extremely fun but the best part was obviously the ice-cream. i could eat the whole bucket wei. XD

Last thing: i hope anna likes me and jia's present to her! :D
