Hello.

Have finally gotten around to updating. This is going to be a long and messy post.

Im back in Sarawak (oh, joy ! NOT). I did horribly for my PMR but at least my results were good enough to get me into science stream. Will update on that later.

Carol, Sherene, Roisin, Bell, Sasha, Maharaj, Low, Hasvin and Foo came down from PD so met up with them at MidV. Got to meet Sasha's Janus and we bumped into Charmaine and her Uncle Martin there. Shayne came too later. Ran up to him and practically choked him in an attempt to hug him the minute I saw him. That boy makes me laugh like crazy. I absolutely adore him.

Was approached by a modelling agency, Mooka Worldwide while walking around. They do commercials and Fashion Editorial and asked if I was interested in modelling. First thing I did was to ask for a card to make sure they werent some con artists. They gave me their card and asked for my details and they kept insisting that I let my parents know. Roisin told me her friend has worked with them before, so theyre legit. Shayne, being the idiot he is, stood with me and listened in on the convo (not that I minded), kept pointing out random ppl and going "shes cute, why dont you ask her to be a model? oh, what about her? shes tall." Hahah. They told me where their studio is and gave me directions and that they would contact me and Shayne goes "omg, can I come too and watch ?" HAHAHA.

I swear, I go to MidV so often when Im in KL, I pretty much know where everything is. Foo jokingly offered to pay me for being their 'tour guide'. Hahah. Hasvin, Maharaj, Foo and Low didnt know what to do while the girls shopped so I went to Brewball with them. They played. I just sat down, watched and talked and talked and talked. The last time I tried to play pool, the ball went flying off the table and almost hit a waitress in the head so I decided to not take the risk of causing someone brain damage.

Everyone had split up so Maharaj, Hasvin, Foo, Low and I bumped into Charmaine again who was helping Shayne pick out an xmas present for his mommy;

Me: Charmaine's mom hates me.
Hasvin, Foo, Maharaj, Low: *burst out laughing*
Me: WHAT ?! Im serious !
Hasvin, Maharaj, Foo, Low: *laughing*
Me: I dont understand la. When Im telling ppl a joke, nobody thinks Im funny. But when Im being myself and completely serious, everyone laughs and thinks Im hilarious.
Hasvin: Damn random la. Suddenly only, 'Charmaine's mom hates me.' Imagine me saying suddenly, 'Foo's mom hates me.'
Hasvin, Foo, Maharaj, Low: *burst out laughing again*
Me: *just stares at them*

I swear, I dont understand boys la.

Went to Dragonfly cos Roisin wanted to pierce her nose again when the boys bumped into Haresh and Siva at the steps of Brewball and decided to abandon everyone and go off with them. Thought of saying hi to Haresh and Siva but couldnt be bothered. I dont think they like me very much anyway.

Christmas eve night was surprisingly fun this year. Since like 3 years ago, Ive stopped getting excited about christmas and just couldnt be bothered with it. Buying presents seemed like such a chore and the christmas carols constantly playing EVERYWHERE drive me insane ! My feelings towards christmas werent any different this year. Only ended up having fun during christmas eve dinner with the family.

Uncle Bull and aunty Bee Yuen whom I havent seen in over 3 years came down from Australia with the kids. Nicole and Lynette have grown so much. Lynette has the cutest giggle and she has a mole on the side of her chin just like me. Aunty Bee says we can pass for sisters. Hahah. Lynette looks a lot like my mom in pictures when she was little.

Me, Lynnette, Nicole.
Ok, not exactly our best picture.

After all the "omg, youve grown so much" and "such pretty girls youve all grown into", everyone stuffed their faces with enough food to feed a batallion. Uncle Bo dressed up as Santa after dinner. He handed us all our presents from under the tree and insisted every one kissed him everytime we got a present. He even made Jeremy sit on his lap. HAHAHAH. He was pretty drunk so he was swearing everytime he couldnt read the writing on the christmas tags and whatnot. It was hilarious but I swear, he's the worst Santa ever. Hahah.





Halfway through tearing open presents.

Went to uncle Kenny's and aunty Karina's for another christmas dinner the night after. Jeremy, Melissa, Manda, Joel and I sat our own table and talked about anorexia and bulimia over dinner with all the gory details. Yes, my family is quite insane. Got to meet little Timothy. he's 5 and absolutely adorable.

Went to Gentings the day after at 6bloodyA.M. It sucked. The cues for every ride were endless and it rained.We were soaking wet right down to our jeans and sneakers. Manda and I being the idiots we are, didnt pack any other pants except for shorts so we had no choice but to wear them out that night for dinner with the family. Manda and I refused to roll the screens up in the car even though we were freezing cos we were wearing nothing but paper thin shirts and micro-mini-britney shorts (as Ash calls them).

New Years was ok, I guess. Nothing speacial. Was forced to spend it with the family so it was kindve lame. I was sad. Will blog about that in the next post.

We went to Camerons at 6bloodyA.M. again. Wasnt really looking forward to it cos theres nothing to do there and we were renting a bungalow so it was gonna be hard for Manda and I to get our fixes.

I did not like Sunlight (the bungalow we were staying in). It was built during the British war so you can imagine how old it is. I swear, the main entrance has these spiralling stairs made out of stone like during the mideavel times. No joke. The bathrooms were repulsive. No one else found the back kitchen creepy but it really scared me. I refused to go in there alone throughout the whole trip. The rest of the bungalow was okay. It was such a huge bungalow, but there were only 3 bedrooms but they were biiiig. You can fit like 10 ppl in one room. Most of the adults shared one room so Jeremy, Melissa, Manda, Sam and I shared the other. Grandma took the downstairs room because as usual, she's always complaining about her aches and pains and how hard it is for her to walk up stairs and yada yada yada. Old people ah, I tell you.

Manda and I were in desperate need of a fix so we went for a walk exploring the place and saw this barricade and climbed over it of course. We were well aware that we were tresspassing but its not like anyone else was there. We found this abandoned bungalow and it looked just as haunted as ours. Looked like it was built during the brit war too. The doors werent locked but we were too scared to go in. Went back to Sunlight cos we got the creeps hanging around there.

After coming back from dinner that night, Manda and I were lazing around in our room when my mom and Siti come running out of theirs screaming. Mom said that their latched balcony door had just swung open. So Manda accompanies them to their room while I stayed in mine and the next thing I know, all 3 of them come running into my room screaming. They said that the balcony door just swung open and shut and the locks clasped into place perfectly as if someone had just opened and shut them very gently and slowly so it couldnt have been the wind. I kept insisting it was the wind so everyone came upstairs and aunty Othy re-latched the balcony door and tried opening it but it wouldnt budge. So obviosly, it wasnt the wind. I didnt see what happened but I still think it mightve just been the wind.

All of us went to this shop called Sinnathamby. Im serious. Thats what its called. Manda and I laughed so hard at the name, we teared up. I kept reciting 'Sinnathamby' over and over cos it amused me but then everyone started to get annoyed. So I just kept asking questions about the shop just so I could say 'Sinnathamby'. :D

Manda and I went back to the abandoned bungalow in the evening. We brought flashlights with us this time even though it was still bright outside and explored the inside of the bungalow. There wasnt any furniture and the bathrooms were actually renovated but it seemed to have been abandoned halfway. It took us 3 tries to get upstairs as we kept running back down everytime we were halfway up the stairs cos we kept hearing noises. We finnally mustered up the courage to go all the way up. There were no rooms upstairs but there were these doors that blended in with the walls. We opened all of them and they all lead to the inside of the ceiling. There was one door that couldnt be opened which we evenually managed to open and it lead to the inside of the ceiling too and there were dead rats and rat skeletons everywhere. Disgusting. Made the whole family come see the bungalow later on. Aunty Othy said the house was built during war so they needed those doors cos they used the ceiling as secret hideaways. We were all wondering if the bungalow was Moonlight where this American millionaire, Jim Thompson had disappeared.

Aunty Othy bought the book about Jim Thompson, an American millionaire who owned a Thai silk company. He was staying in Camerons,in the bungalow Moonlight and went on a stroll and never came back. After many searches for him arranged by the army and police department, neither him nor his remains have been found. His disappearence in 1967 is still an unsolved mystery. True story. Google it if you dont belive me. Aaaaanyways, back to my story. There was a picture of Moonlight bungalow in the book and it was the exact bungalow Manda and I discovered. How cool is that ?! Sorry. Couldnt help it.

While walking and huffing and puffing;
Manda: Remember we used to read The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley when we were kids? We should have our own book like that.
Me: Yeah, Malaysian version. The Adventures of Michelle and Amanda.
Manda: Totally.
Me: It'll suck though. Wont really sell.
Manda: Why ?
Me: Cos its Malaysian. We should get published in America or something. Thats where they make it big.
Manda: You know, I wasnt serious about having our own adventure book, right?
Me: ................ Shuttup la. A girl can dream.
Manda: *stares at me*

Came back here on the 5th so I missed the first day of school. 4S1 til 4S3 are the pure science classes here which was where I wanted to be but I was placed in 4S4 which is science and technology. Its exactly like pure science except that we take accounts instead of physics. Was not happy about that so I appealed to be transferred to 4S3. I filled in the form and made my parents write the school a letter even though you dont need to. Well, actually, I wrote it, I just made them sign it.

I always write my letters for school for when Im absent and whatnot and all my parents do is sign them. Oh oh, oh ! The class transfers were announced today and.... I got into 4S3 ! Yay me ! And Im reunited with Phoebe and Rachel too cos their in 4S3. Oh, Azlina kept stealing my food today. Sorry. I just felt it was necessary to share that with you all.

Will update again soon (hopefully).
Lovesss. xx
