Today was one of those days where u get up, feel sleepy, wana go back to sleep but can’t coz u have class today & u simply must try to stay awake for the whole lecture for fear of missing out some important stuff for exams… yea, my day started out like that, until……

(Does it sound like one of those TV series u watch on TV, this is the epilogue, then comes the theme song & finally the show begins…?? HEhee… I miss my Grey’s Anatomy that’s why my blog starts like this!) <– this would be the theme song =p

Story:
Woke up this morning at 7am, I put the alarm clock RIGHT next to my bed & since new batts were put in, the alarm rings VERY loudly… I tell u, that alarm clock of mine could even wake up the whole house! Lol….
I turned it off, went back to sleep to catch a lil shut eye & waited for the ‘princess’ to be out frm the washroom… I finally got out of bed at 7.17am… (My clock is digital that’s y I sound so accurate), made my bed & just lay on my made bed for awhile until the washroom became vacant. Then went to brush my teeth & went downstairs to have b’fast… I purposely stuffed myself this morning so that I won’t eat again until lunch time but I was hungry even before 1pm!

We kept bullying Nani about being the only person in class NOT to wear black coz somehow, Snow, Evianty & I were wearing black blouses with blue jeans…creepy eh… GMTA! Great Minds Think Alike…. hehehe… but the funny thing was, quite a number of other ppl, including the lecturer were wearing Black as well….

Was practically falling asleep when the lecturer was teaching.. only woke up when she finally starting doing illustrations & questions. I tend to feel VERY sleepy when it comes to theory…. all the talking & no writing is very boring….

After class, went for lunch at the usual place, ate Fried Rice w/ Corn Soup which costs $4.50. Long time no eat coz I’ve been tryna save money but at the end of each month, I still spend so much! *sigh* So I thot I’d treat myself today & eat Fried Rice… stuffed myself silly! which was a bad idea… then went to study room where I was almost falling asleep…Then Nani & Carrie were discussing some stuff.. At first I didn’t wana get involved, wanted to focus on my studying, but in the end, I joined them… after discussing & sharing ideas, hehehe, i went back to study room. Then I was going in & out, in & out till Snow came back from gift shopping & told me she lost her ATM… See ppl! this is what u get when u don’t look after ur things properly… hehehe… that’s why u shud always bring me when u go shopping! I will be ur security guard… hehehe….. jk jk! U shud be responsible 4 ur own stuff! I can’t be responsible FOR u! (unless u wana pay me… $_$)

So anyway, turns out the card was still at the counter, she passed it to security who was on the 5th floor, we went there & the security was like, "can u describe the card?" & I was like, eh? this is not a human being eh… this is a card! how else do u describe a card? But my friend lagi pandai la.. she said it’s a _ _ _ _ Card, _ _ _ _ colour… (obviously I won’t tell u kali ah! giler… u don’t tell ppl abt ur ATM Card or Credit Biz online okay!?!?) & he was like, "Is there a name on the card or no name on the card?" & I was like, nyeh?? _ _ _ ATM Cards don’t have names on it lah… & then he just asked to fill in the form & we could go oredi… At first he made it seem so hard to retrieve the card then after that, bagi aja la…. nyeh??

Ok…. then back in the study room, for like 30mins, then went off for Ice-Cream… not just ANY ice-cream, Haagen Daaz!!! Woohooo!!!~~~
Our kawan so nice! She belanja us coz she got prizes for being the top 3 in Singapore for 2 papers.. pro yo!! So she brot us to Raffles City to have our yummy Ice-cream….. guess what we ordered??? FONDUE!!!!! F-O-N-D-U-E!!!! Yum!! Never tried before so we thot we’d give it a go, turns out it was really goooood~~~
We all first timers go makan at Haagen Daaz so ambil kesempatan & take pix lor…. Vain, i kno… =p
While taking, I kept making so much fuss, the girls almost started to drool looking at the Fondue but not able to eat it YET!
Then came this lil girl out of no where… adorably cute lil girl… & she was like, "Hi!"
I looked at her, ingat kenal… rupanya inda but just say Hi balik ler…. set good example to the kids of today okay!! remember that!
Then she walked away…. ntah ah… attracted by our laughter kali, she kept coming back…
I’ll make it easier, this was our conversation:
Lil Girl: It’s my birthday today!
Me: Really? Happy Birthday!
Snow: How old are you?
Lil Girl: Five…..
Me: Oh…. [=p saja....]
Snow: What’s your name?
Lil Girl: Jo….
Snow: Jo?
Lil Girl: Jo-ey…

[I tell u, she's very cute! & very talkative!!]

Then she disappeared.. went back to her Mom…
Then we started to eat…. yum yum…

Then she came back again… so cute eh! She was looking at us eat & I wanted to offer her a bite but then I wasn’t sure wat she likes to eat so I was asking the girls & I think she heard me… coz she said, "I ate already… I had a Barbie cake."

She walked away & came back..
Joey: U wanna see something?
Me: Urmm… okay…
Joey: See! This is big! (She coiled up her cardigan ribbon string into a swirl)
Then it gets smaller *she uncoils it*
Me: I see… (looking at the girls & start to get worried… thinking ‘How long will we have to entertain her…??’)

Then I said to the girls, "Entertainment"
Snow was like, "Free Entertainment!"
We burst out laughing…

Me: *looks back at her* Do u know how to tie a ribbon??
Joey: I know…. hold on…. *starts to run away saying "Wait ah…uh, i mean hold on"*

Then she goes away… and we get to talk for awhile till she returns again….

Joey: See! I know how to tie….
Me: (I was mean, I burst her bubble saying "I kno what u did!"
Joey: *her face turns red & she goes away…*

When she came back, Evianty asked her who she’s with, she said, "My mom & my Ah Yee…urm… My God Mother." Then off she went…

I tell u, it was like playing cats & dogs with her.. she kept running away & coming back… Then again, maybe it was more like tag!

Then she comes back with stickers!
Joey: See! I got stickers!
Me: Oh… are they ur birthday presents?
Joey: yea… my Ah Yee (or Mummy… I forgot) gave it to me. I have Barbie, Princess & Minnie Mouse…..
All: *smile at her then each other*

Then she sorta had an idea & she went away, when she came back, she was holding the Minnie sticker & asked me if I wanted a sticker… I said… "urmm.. okay…"
Joey: which one? *covering the huge minnie sticker in the middle* (I wanted to laugh coz I was like that too when I was younger)
Me: Any one… u pick.
Joey: Urmm… okay!
She takes out the Donald Duck sticker, deciding who to give it to…then she goes, "Let’s play a game… we make 2 teams, U (points at me) & her (points at Snow) will be in one team, & u & her (points at Evianty & Nani) will be the other team."
Then she holds the sticker behind her back & starts to recite those rhymes where, when u cant decide, u recite those rhymes to make a decision… she goes, "Ee-ny, Mee-ny, My-ni, Moe.. Catch a spider on the wall, if it wiggles, let it go, Ee-ny Mee-ny My-ni Moe!"
I didnt see how she was doing it, but in the end, the Donald Sticker came to me… (nyeh! I kno.. funny right?)
And I was like, "Are u sure u want to give this to me??" She was nodding… so I said, "I’ll put it here on my handphone…" Then she smiled… then she started to take out a book for Snow… then Snow & Nani were like, "How come it’s smaller??" And I was like, "Be grateful she wanted to give it to u….!" Actually it was more like, "She give u, good oredi lor…" =)
Then she gave a clock to Evianty… she said, "Tick tock for u…" then she started to sing, "Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse went up the clock, the clock struck one, the mouse went down, Hickory Dickory Dock, Tick Tock."

I was smiling all the way… I think I was the only one amongst the girls to know the rhymes she was saying…..

She I said to Evianty, "So nice! she get tick tock!"

Then she gave Nani one also… I forgot what it was…. but Nani & Snow asked her this silly question & I was like, "Don’t be silly, she’s 5! not 2!"
Then she laughed & copied what I said, "Yea… Don’t be silly!" We started to burst out laughing…

Then she removed the unwanted part of the sticker, the ’stencil’, sort of & asked if anyone wanted it… she’s smart I must say…. she knows that no one would want it…. but she made it seem so interesting… she said, "U can put it on ur hand…" I looked at her & thot, no way…. but told her, "Give it to the waitress over there…." Then we started laughing… she said, "Noo…" Then she placed it on the table & I was like, "no… don’t put it there…" So in the end, I put it on my arm… we all started to laugh again…

Then her mom called her & told her to stop disturbing other people… I smiled at her mom but barely got a smile from her…. I kinda figured that her mom didn’t like her talking to the lot of us…

But after she left, she said "Bye-bye!" & I was like, "Bye! Happy Birthday!"
Before she went off, she actually gave the Waitress a sticker too… see how adorably cute & generous she is!! I envy her personality! Hehehe
When she got on the escalator, I noticed that her mom & Ah Yee were also wearing Black & Jeans… I told the girls & we all started to laugh again….

That was our day… fun wasn’t it? A lot of laughter…! hehehe…. And a very entertaining tea time…. hehehe… Hope to see her again sometime… *Sigh*
Sometimes I wish I was helping out at Kindy Cares more often….. =)

Dear friends & sisters who read my blog entries,

Firstly, Happy Deepavali to my Indian friends or friend…(As far as I kno, I only hav ONE Indian friend but if u’re Indian & u’re reading this, Happy Deepavali!)
Secondly, to my Muslim friends… (I kno I have many Muslim frens… this is for sure!) Selamat Hari Raya.. Maaf Zahir & Batin ya?
I said Deepavali first coz in chronological order, Deepavali festival is FIRST… no offence or anything ya?

If U had not known of my whereabouts over the DeepaRaya holiday, I was in Malacca.
Why u ask? Coz my sis was going down & I thot I’d meet up with her so we can go shopping & eating together. It has been months since we last raided Malacca…. We used to go there to do shopping, lepak in the house watching movies & eating eating eating all day…. not forgetting, lazing around the house….

I’ve been feeling kinda stressed lately what with all the exams & not many lectures left to exams that I couldn’t take it anymore & decided to go to M’cca for the long weekend just to relax & breathe! *inhale*…. *exhale*

I’m usually not the type to stay home, stay in bed & sleep all day… I’m also not the type to stay home, not talk to anyone but the maid (which barely knows much about what I’m going through) and most of all, be on my own with no one to laugh with, ie. I need a laughing companion, anyone interested?? No criteria or whatever nonsense… as long as willing to laugh their A** off… lol!

So, the long weekend in M’cca was a blast! I got to travel on bus to M’cca on my own! Man! It felt guud & scary at the same time. I was so afraid that I’d get kidnapped or raped…. but when I got to the bus stop, I felt quite confident that everything would go well. I reached the bus station almost 45mins earlier than I was supposed to (THAT was how eager I was willing to get away from my stress!) so I waited there happily…. almost smiling to everyone that I thot was going on the bus.. (I sound insane I know…) but I was too happy & overjoyed that I couldn’t help it. I even made friends with my seat buddy…. (the person who sits BEside u…. =p) He was going back for Deepavali…. when I told my cousin this, she was asking me, "Is he cute??" & I replied, "urmmm…. he’s an uncle! he isn’t THAT young, How can I say he’s cute??" (u get the picture)…. But he was friendly nonetheless… Apparently his family stays in M’cca…. coz when I asked him if he was going BACK to M’cca he said yes but then he took out this immigration form & I started to get curious so I asked, "Malaysians have to fill in a form??" & then he said, "No need right?" & I was like, "Yea…*blurr*"
Then I noticed that his passport was in Tamil, right there & then I wanted to hit myself on the forehead…. of course! That’s why he’s so friendly….! (I’d explain it but I don’t really kno how…. just that I have this ‘theory’ about local Indians & expat Indians).

So we were on the bus, minding our own business…. (lol! It’s funny to even think about it!) ok….so we were on the bus, M.O.O.B (refer above), when the Caucasian couple started to talk to this urmm…."mysterious biz man". I call his mysterious coz I can’t tell if he’s Chinese, Malay, Indian or Portugese…. maybe a mix of all! lol!
Ok. So they started talking & knowing me, I’ve picked up this habit of listening to other people’s conversation when on public transport….so I listened in. They couple were foreign STUDENTS!! They weren’t tourists or travellers… but they were STUDENTS! I didnt ask where la…. (obviously, I wasn’t in their conversation, so it’s not like I could’ve asked =P)
So, they were going to M’cca for the Deeparaya holiday as well & it seemed to be their FIRST time to M’cca…. & they talked & talked & I listened to both parties talk & I came to learn a lot more about M’cca from that mysterious man… He seemed to go to SOO many foreign places & he seemed to be very wise in the way he was talking, with a lot of poise & stuff stuff……

Then after awhile, they stopped talking & I went on to listen to my iPod, before I knew it, we were at the immigration checkpoint…. I’ll skip this part considering there isn’t much that went on except that I passed M’sia customs without being checked at all!! Awesome or what?? I was so excited!! It’s not like I have anything illegal, I just dont like them to go through my clothes esp my underwear… gross~~~~

So I was in M’sia! I was kinda high!! I was glad that I was going & I continued to listen to my iPod…. after an hour or so we reach Black Water… actually it’s called Ayer Hitam… translated to English it means Black Water. Black Water sounded more intriguing so I used that to msg my dad & sis to tell them that I’m in M’sia oredi. When I got there, I was sooooo hungry coz I made this STooooopid mistake of skipping b’fast while travelling! So I headed to the snacks corner to buy snacks on the bus to eat & then decided to order something for lunch as well. When I paid for my snacks & was about to go to the foodcourt area to order my lunch, the nice man, my seat buddy offered to buy me a drink. At first I thought that he was asking me if I wanted to order anything, as in I tumpang order from him but then he paid & was sitting down at a table when I ordered my Roti Canai lunch & paid. So I went over to the table & he asked me to sit with him…. Don’t worry, during the 2 and a half hours of the ride on the bus, I knew he was a normal, honest ordinary guy & not a "stranger" so I sat down & had my roti canai lunch… I found it a bit funny coz he was Indian & I was eating an Indian dish in front of him.. hehehe I found it funny, anyway….
So, we didnt talk much, just sat there, finished my lunch & went back to the bus… I also went to the toilet, but that isn’t important detail…=p But when I told him, he shook his head like a normal traditional Indian… I just smiled…
To tell u the truth, after he bought me that drink, I was a lil, mind you I said a LITTLE, afraid that it was drugged & that I might fall asleep & get raped…. :S but I didn’t worry about it too much coz he seems VERY innocent & he has a very nice & expensive handphone yooo… & also, he speaks fluent English so he’s not the pervertic  type… I can’t believe I said that, but so that u’re clear, I said it okay??

On the way to M’cca, we were almost reaching…the Caucasian couple started to talk to the mysterious man again…. that’s when my seat buddy, started to talk & ask me more questions… this is the funny part, most of the questions he asked me, I dinno the answers to, like, "Do u kno whether the local banks can withdraw money from foreign back accounts?" & "Do u kno if there is UOB banks in M’sia?" *blurr* I dinno the answers to these questions, honestly coz I don’t put my cash in M’sia bank a/cs, mostly in Brunei & S’pore….& the funny thing was, that we kept talking & talking like we were tryna compete with the couple & the mysterious biz man, like, who could talk the longest or whose conversation was more interesting.. it seems silly but I found it weird & funny at the same time… hehehe

Nonetheless, I arrived M’cca……when we reached, I was busy carrying my heavy load off the bus & my seat buddy had already gotten off the bus. He happened to be standing nex to my uncle who came to fetch me…. When I saw them both, I greeted my Uncle & wish my seat buddy a Happy Deepavali.. He said Thank you & he was off… Then I went to get my bag & off we went into my uncle’s car, back to his home to see my cousins & to unpack…

The End~
(My shopping experience, I will blog another time, coz It’s late & I’ve got school tmrw! Night Night!)
