G'day!

This is my first post from the land of constant drizzles, unpredictable weather and thick accents.. :)

I left KLIA at 1155pm on the 24th of August.. It was kinda pathetic cause only Kah Heng and Lina was there to send me off.. But honestly, i really didnt mind. Kah Heng (so sweet of him) dedicated a very nice post to me.

When i got into the plane, i noticed that someone was seated on the seat allocated to me..
Turns out, there was some Thai (or at least i thought it was) guy seated on my seat.
I called the steward and as it turns out, there was some problem with the ticketing.. hehe.. They allocated both of us on to the same seat.
And since he was seated, i smiled at the steward and said, "Look the guy's so comfortably seated there with his family, so why dont you upgrade me instead.. hehe"
The steward, "Hmmm, i'll see what i can do.. "

So he walks off looking for the guy in charge of the tickets..
The guy in charge of the tickets frantically looked around the economy seats looking for an extra seat.
After everyone was seated, and i mean EVERYONE, (as if the plane was just about to take off) the guy was still no where to be found.
I felt kinda silly standing in the middle of nowhere whilst obstructing the way, everyone was giving weird-ass stares.

5 mins later the guy came back and got me to go to seat 9A.

YES LA!!
hahaha..
i made my way upstairs.. and wa lah!!!

3 COURSE MEALS!!
very nice STEWARDS and AIR HOSTESSES
LOVELY BIG ASS SEATS!!
it allows you to recline the seats so much it's almost horizontal.. and yeah, i slept like a baby!! I could definitely get used to this!! hehe woo hoo!!

SO anyway, here are a few pics i took from Heathrow Airport..

This Kid's so cute.. he fell asleep with half a muffin on his hand. hehe
(Thank goodness his mom didn't realise i was taking a picture of her sleeping son) :)

My luggages..


THe view from where i was standing, waiting for my bus to Leicester.. :)

Here are some pictures of my pathetically small hole. . eheh

My desk, if you look closely enough, there's an apple next to my bag.. It fell into the dustbin as i was arranging my stuff.. Now i dont know whether the eat it or not.. hmmm..

And the carton of ciggies, far right is not mine..

The sink in my room.. (comes in quite convenient)

My bed.. the sun rises at 6 in the morning and i keep forgetting to shut the curtains.. so, i'm usually up quite early..

The view from the pavement just outside the apartment..

since your picture wasn't in the previous post,

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO ET!!

EAT AT SHOGUN!!

YUM!!

Happy or not?? hahaha..

RAWR!!!!

There's so much i want and wanted to blog about i'm actually feeling very lazy to type ... If only i had a robot to type as i verbally relay my thoughts to it.. I guess if that point of time actually crosses our path, we'd all be so lazy and inactive we'd probably start missing the times we could walk.
It's the third day of EOS5 and my head feels like it's 100000000000000000000000 tonnes partly due to the lack of sleep and partly due to the fact that my brain has been put into overdrive the past 3 days... :S

So, yeah, well, here are some pictures from my birthday, almost a month ago.. It's kinda sad that it had to be before the freaking exams. Sigh...

Well, it started with the IMU gang surprising me at 11pm on the day before, everyone looked bloody stressed out... it ranged from pimple sprouting faces to panda eyed looks to balding heads..

Michelle, Ling Wei, Racine, Marilyn, Amelia, Yon Xian, Brandon, Kah Heng, Bryan and Me!

....... and Lina

Since Ah Moooo's hidden in both of the pics, here's a special close up of her.. hhahaha

29th of June 2006
- Had lunch with me Sri KL buddies..

Nick Y. and Jamie..

Nick L....

Who happened to all have the same phone..
( I'm sorry eng tat.. i don't exactly know how to rotate your japanese food entising picture.. )

530pm - Blowing my own cake... alone... (How fun!! ) haha

Okay... So here are some pictures from the Press Conference @ Planet Hollywood on the 4th of July 2006...

Left my house at 745 to make allowances for the crazy traffic KL has to offer, took the LRT from PJ and got to KL at about 9..

Yes 9! and apparently, that's FAST!

If you ask me, the transportation system in Malaysia is just ridiculous!! They should make spped shuttles, limit the use of cars or maybe offer air services.. haaha...

So anyway, at 930am, we went to hair connections along Jalan Bukit Bintang for hair and make up..

One of the hair stylists.. i'm sorry i don't remember his name..

...ditto...

.. double ditto..

More hairdressing action..

As with all shows and whatever the entertainment industry anywhere around the world has to offer, there's always the loooooooong wait....
Hence, the crazy amnt of pics.. (Did not post it all here)
And for some reason, my picture which came out in the star on the 5th of July, made me look as if i was FAT!!! and i'm not just saying it..
You know how the saying goes right? That the camera puts on 10 pounds?? well it's true!! only in my case it's 20.. :|
I'll post that dumb picture up when i can... then you can compare...

Miss Malaysia World 2006 photoshoot

For all of you who already know, here are some pics.. :) enjoy..

For those who don't,
Yes.

Serious? Yep.
Stop laughing.. i couldn't believe it myself.
How i got in?

Basically, a wonderful friend of mine, AARON, decided that i should expand my horizon and give in to his crazy idea of joining the pageant. After 30 mins of trying to convince me to join, i said okay and next thing you know, they ask me to go in for an interview.

Apparently, round 1's where they shortlist the applicants based on their application form. I didn't fill that up, so i guess i bypassed that.

Round 2's the interview bit.
I dont know how i got through it. I panicked at the sight of 3 high authorians looking at me, blabbered, stuttered and crapped like no other. i was a complete mess.
Maybe they were amazed and possibly interested at my klutzy (or maybe even comical) ways?

So i went home, defeated. Didn't really hit me hard cause it was not something i've been praying every night of the week for anyway..

3 days later they called and told me i got the place as one of the Miss Malaysia World 06 finalists.

I did not almost fall off my chair. I did.

i don't know whether to be happy or sad.

EOS 5 and MMW

2 killers at one go.

it's like preparing to get shot in the head

TWICE.

So, anyhoos....

I'm too lazy to type and describe anything at the moment.
So here are the pictures..
Afterall, a picture is worth thousand words.. :)

Here are 16 pictures.
Add that to the amount of words above and you get a 16200 word blog.

and Yes i've possibly gone mad. haha :)
