| Penang Trip |

Went to Penang with darling last Friday and came back on Sunday nite.. The motive of the trip was to pay respect to my grandparents, grandaunts n etc. We ended up eating like there's no tomorrow!

We stayed at G Hotel.. It's called a boutique hotel cuz everything there is all about the designs n decorations. We were at the Executive Standard room at first, but it was such a small room with no bathtub! We then upgraded ourselves into Executive Suite.. It was sooo much bigger n also with bathtub.. The space in the suite can make 3 of the executive standard room. I wonder how is the size of the normal standard room.

Staying in executive floor has a special lounge where u are served drinks 24hrs. They even have breakfast n cocktail for free.. The drinks in the room mini bar is also complimentary.. All the staff there recognize their customers in the exec floor!!! They greet u by ur name.. Cool isn't it? I'm happy with the service there n would like to go back there again.. (You see this, darling?? )

Well, nothing much except eating n eating... Went to Khoo Kongsi. The carvings r superb n they maintain it well.. Bravo for maintaning the building/heritage well! Also went to Kek Lok Si but it was already closed. Din get the chance to go up to the pagoda..

Makan place

That's about it...

LiL Missy Messy Closet had a bazaar sale @ Monash University. it was from 12pm til 12am supposingly.. but we only went bout 1-2pm thinking it starts from 2pm! that was a very bad sale day! it was actually monash music carnival. so it caters for monash students only... they have battle of the bands, alot of stalls selling food, beverages, and of cuz clothes. but due to its a music carnival, theres an entrance fee of RM15! so obviously theres only students from Monash who was there to see the bands performing.. screaming on top of their lungs... and the weather was super duper HOT!!! we din stay til the end.. many stall owners went off earlier.. so we also left around 830pm!

Michy came suddenly! we had our dinner.. and he kept wasting time there... saying his friend got stuck in jam, on the way to join us.. we finished our deserts and then finally, he said his friend is not coming! babi-ness the waiter brought out cake and make me and Michy stood up! lucky i wasnt alone! hahaha.. thanks mich! we had to sing/make speech... in short, made a fool out of myself!

im now assignment free! yay!! but exam is coming... some updates for last week....

due to stress from college, i decided to visit my friends at ShangriLa Hotel, KL to have a good time. they are a 3 piece band (URB) playing in the lobby lounge. yeah i had a great time there, and also bonding with my sisters. had a good laugh, good music, good entertainment and catch up.... i took 1 or 2 live videos.. can have a look at http://qik.com/melfay86. got to know that Sarita is iPhone guru... so she taught me some stuff on the iPhone.. i was her follower on Twitter and she introduced me to Twinkle which i can easily update my status from there and it can link up to my Twitter and also Facebook! we stayed till they finish and chat... din take pic with the pretty Sarita, but got hold of the handsome Marlou.

the handsome Marlou

Meg wanted to take photos of lights (lampshapes) for her assignments.. so while waiting, i took a full picture of myself! As we were walking around looking for unique lampshapes, we found this!

Check out the size of the lollipops! I know in this picture u cant see clearly… but I tell u, its really HUGE! and…. And….. and….

Don forget to check out the price! Oh My! How can anyone finish this lollipop?

In the morning the same day, when I was in the class, darling sms me… “I bought 1tb hard disk for you.” I was like…. stunned! So I asked, why suddenly? He said its only RM 300 at the PC Fair! I was really happy!! Yay!! Got 1tb hdd wei! I wanted the Golla laptop backpack for few weeks now.. I actually planned to get it on Sat or Sun.. but… but…. Guess wat?? Darling asked, “the Golla bag, wat color u want?” wooohoooo!!! Happy giler!!! Wanna see my gifts from darling?

my 1tb external harddisk

my Golla laptop backpack!

After buying, he said… not nice also the bag… ughh… I only saw 2 designs… this and pink with flowers. I use this to go to college, then wat if my outfit clashes with the pink? Then it wouldn’t look nice, would it? Moreover black can go with any other color!

As theres a submission on Monday, and darling had work to finish, so I followed him to his clients office to work on my assignment on saturday. The internet there is like super fast! Haha… and I was surfing most of the time rather than doing my assignment! But still, I did a question for half a day and then I realised it was wrong and have to redo! Haha… so I did 1 question 1 whole day! We reached there about 1pm and left about 11.30pm! so basically my whole Saturday was just doing assignment in an office environment.

Sunday…. Was supposed to stay home to finish up my assignment… but I ended up shopping for groceries at Tesco.. and then bugged darling to bring me to PC Fair! Believe it or not, I have never been to PC fair! Haha.. I even poisoned Sarita to go! Well, its like sardines and night market there! So packed and noisy!!! Especially when its coming to the end of the day, everyone was like screaming “lelong! Cheap, cheap!” I was there for at least 3hrs! and… bought Golla bag and laptop cooler for Meg. Darling, of cuz he bought some gadgets.. 2 remote controls… to control him to go shower .. hahaha nah… 1 is to control his pc, it works like a mouse.. and the other is the control 15 types of electronic items in the house. Can control ur TV, Astro and stuff like that… how cool?? I bought a multi function printer from Canon.. its only RM199!

So much for staying home to finish up assignment! I only started doing at 11pm! Then went to sleep about 3am... lets not talk about assignment.... *teramat sungguh meng-geramkan*

enuf of crapping for now.. =)

***is it only my eyes or wat? why do i see different color fonts in this post? but i set everything to black..!!! and its not aligned! ughhhh! and... is this my longest post? hmm...... ***
