Updates

Finally. XD

Haven't gotten into the mood of blogging much, and with the really crappy connection, I kinda gave up on it. Ohoho~

A very, very belated Happy New 2007, folks!~

I'll summarise a couple of things which had happened, not much since my life's a bore but those were memorable moments which I hope to capture. <3

After my course ended, I was left bored and missed meeting up, so we had this dinner gathering at Leo's, which had a turn out of almost 16-20 of us. My mind's a bank right now so I can't recall the exact number. It seems that everytime I get lazy and decide not to keep track of the ppl I've invited, which as always is the whole group, I would get an overwhemlming number of them turning up O.o The last time this happened was Ching/Shen/KLeong's birthday.

It was wonderful being able to catch up with everyone, and Sam intro-ed Lance to us. Waaaaaaaa! Ching was dued to return the next day to Penang, and promised her mum to return by 9pm in exchange for going out, as always with the rain and everyone being late, we only got to order our food close to 9pm, so she was an hour late. eeps?

Reiki's mum wanted some KFC, so we dropped back to her house once she got them, and Ching safely back home. Csn't recall much, but but when I return, my gelato turned out to be peppermint/mint/whatever....I never liked mint, so I passed it to Shen.

And managed to bug Reiki into ordering another gelato. Sharing made it easier on my allowance. And it was yummy~! And since my seat was occupied and both Reiki and I got shoved aside after we returned, I shifted over to the other end to chat with Teen and Nadiah. XD I really miss everyone. So so much.

I know we're always saying that we can still meet up after we move on in our lives, but how often would that be when half of them would be at the other end of the world or somewhere equally far?

Yea. And the weirdest part.....NONE of them bought a camera to commemorate the moment. I've always assumed someone would, but no one did. LoL. Ironic, ain't it?

the nest 2 days, I was occupied with fangirling with Ann in ComicFiesta2006. Totally awesome. My first ever time and I enjoyed every bit of it. <3 Thanks, dear for temaning me and err.....photographing those cosplayers I wanted. =P

I saw Diana, she mentioned that she would be there. And bought myself a couple of nifty bookmarks of characters which I adore. And 2 posters. Yea. Some of the art are unbelievably similar to the original ones, honest. Or even cuter.

Ann and I proclaimed that the Host Club group on Day ONE was the sweetest. Why so? The first Honey sempai we saw (one of the first cosplayers we ever saw btw) offered us a little paperfolded star each after we took a photograph. =3

Her: What colour do you like? Yellow? Green or (can't remember) ?
Me: Huh? I suppose yellow, since there's no blue.
Her: *hands out a star*
Me: wow! thanks. Btw where did you get the plushie *motions to Usa-chan*
Her: My friend made it for me.
Me: --i want a friend who would make that for me too....XD--

Somewhere in the middle, we saw another cosplayer, this time a Tamaki. After the customary posing, she offered us a rose which she was using as a prop.

Her: Here, have a rose.
Me: Ehh? no, it's fine.
-was mentally thinking that they would run out of roses to give-

And later we found that they had gotten like a pailful of roses to give out. haha XD Uber sweetness! Just as they were suppose to be.

I saw like a group of girls in Vampire Knights customes. Both the Night and Day class. *O* Mintos and I approached one of them to check, yups we were right. Apparently they had theirs tailored together. Wahhhh!

Many many more which I couldn't remember, or simply have no clue. Ooopppppps.

Day TWO, we saw a group of La Corda cosplayers, who were the HaruToki 3 the day before. A really pretty lady in Saiunkoko as Shuurei. She's very pretty! XD

There was this chess battle which had everyone in stitches because they were acting what the character's would most probably do. hahaha XD

I saw a huge group of GSD characters. My heart. It leaped. =P

There was Athrun in Orb uniform, in GS special edition, in Zaft (i think) and in civilian clothes. *O* And 2 pretty Cagallis.

-moves to bug Ann to photograph them for me-

My bro brought along Derrick for day 2after I rant and rant about everything in day 1 which he missed, he rather play Dota -.- ohohoho~

It was worth my 2 days. I had a fantastic time. I can't believe I've been missing on this. But then again camp was fun too. XD

Next was..Penang on the 21st.

Our original plan was to go Singapore, since I haven't been there since I was a tiny kiddo. My parents and bro went when I was around Std 4, when I was in US with MaMa and YehYeh. (and had chickenpox the same time too ....woeeeee)

But with some problems cropping up, dad didn't renew our passports, so we decided to go Penang. Somewhere was better than nowhere. GuMa's apartment as usual. We went with GuMa and YiSum, Benjy and Emily.

Gosh, the food was delicious. A lot of hawker stalls, but well, food is food. =P And swimming.

Meet up with Ching one day. XD We were origanlly suppose to go kai kai but her friend with the car was busy, so dad said, why not ask her to join us to Butterfly Farm? And she did. XD Sorry for making you err....wait, while we took a swim.

And remind me to be extra wary of my cousins. They are 10 and 8. I can clearly recall my memories of when I was that age. But I was not that noisy.....were we?

When I was 10, my little clique was my bro, and my cousin. 2 and 4 years younger respectively. During the holidays, we spend out days together at my gramma's. Playing masak masak, random games, computer, tv, learning swimming, or art. XD

As the eldest, I lorded over them. Ohoho~ And I suspect this made me an extra protective person at times. I'm also the eldest in the family, my bro being the younger one. So yea, that protective streak. It grew. =.=;;

I kept us in line. XD With parents who contanstly reminded us, (with the cane sometimes) to be extra polite, not demand for toys and what-nots when we're at gramma's, I can say that we were pretty good kiddos. Most of the time. =P

What? We were. Wut

Except we would bug YehYeh to drop us at 7/11 to grab a slurpie after our morning swimming lessons.

So I guess, we were good after all. Or they would have gotten a headache taking care of us. XD

But my cousins. nice and sweet as they were. Are sometime, still kids. As I was once too. Refusing to eat anything.......or demanding toys.......or constant bugging.

By the end of it, my family and I were tired out. hahaha XD

But it was fun. Definitely. I got to bond with them, which I never really did, since they did not grew up at gramma's like we did.

We returned on Christmas eve. To avoid the jam.

In the end, I suppose it was like a cloud with a silver lining, because there was massive flooding in Johor and subsequently affecting the highways and railroads to Singapore.

Moving on my list of updates is Xmas 2006. We had an Xmas potluck in Nick's house. It was pretty fun. The food was delicious too! Kleong got a cake to Celebrate Dan's b'dae. XD haha.

Let's see, after Xmas, nothing much was on. So I signed up for New Year eve's duty. For St John. XD I never went for any countdown duty, whether it was Merdeka or New Year. So I wanted to try it. Ching was suppose to go along, but on that day itself, Ade smsed that due to lack of space, there was only one seat left, so it was either her or me. Ching told me to go ahead since she had been before and kinda just wanted to chill out to celebrate. She went to Sunway with Eleena.

And gosh, it was noisy and crazy, Bustling with people and spray cans. -.-

We arrived late, so ince we had our dinner, we got stationed at the VIp seating. Which I then found out through a little chatting with CH that it's one of the safest spots, actually, since we don't get crammed with others.

There was some really cool dance teams to oogle at. XD Later in the middle, we got restatationed at the base which was sadly behind the stage. And missed the awesome special artist performances. Darn! Not that I know any of them anyway. I wasn't updated on the Chinese artists, and 98.9 radio stationg for that matter. Hence, being extremely lost and bewildered at the radio djs and other guest performers. Heck, I got to oogle at some random artists prepping back stage, and had no clue who they were. -.- Go me. I know. =P

The people by the fence were screaming their names by the back stage and all I did was stare at some people I dunno and wonder who they were, while it was apparently everyone else knows them. Even the SK ppl were starring at them back stage. LoL

There you go, a banana chinese. haiiiiiiiiii

Once I got to station at the base, only did I know how crazy those other people were. I suppose being in front of the stage, many were busy starring at the performers while those at the back clearly can't see a thing and isn't bothered to. So they started randomly spraying those cans of confetti, snowflaky stuffs and blowing hons. At invervals of every few minutes or so. O.o

Let me tell you, those cans reeks of some chemical smell. And those snowflaky things are somewhat soapy, according to a fellow friend. Thank goodness we were inside, safe from the mayhem. Anyone randomly crossing the blocked roads would get sprayed. yups. And it kepts repeating from like 9-ish all the way to 12am. I noticed near the fence we were stationed was some couples. The taller guys would stand behind their short girlfriends so that they would face us and hopefully away from those sprayers. So sweet nya? XD Not one, but like 3-4 of them, I saw.

Since KLCC had no countdown, it was estimated that more ppl would turn up at Sg Wang, so much so that there was a lot of Rela members and (according to dad, possibly) Federal Territory Armed Corps...something liddat. But it's the Police force, no doubt. Red caps and dark blue uniform. Different from the Rela yellow caps and green uniform. For crowd control purposes.

Nothing happened until it was officially New Years. The fireworks were spectacular and worth the watch. *O* Upclose too! My first ever closest. Yea, and more sprays. *coughcoughs*

That's when things started. Those extra loads of sprays bought along horrid smells. That and the large crowd was enough to make a couple of girls faint due to the lack of air. yups.

No big cases, but there was this one guy who got transported to the hospital because he complained of a numbness/cramp all over his body. O.o

The police had their job as well. Making sure the crowd disperse and stopping anyone else from spraying anymore. Thank goodness. That's when I can see. A clear view of the road. And the trails of rubbish it holds. -.- People, they do not know how to pick up after themselves. I pity those street cleaners.

I reached home close to 2.30am. And fell straight into the bed. XD
