Last weekend I went into a camera store, not to buy something but to satisfy my curiosity over the Olympus Pen EP1. Warao Micro Four Third wor, sure wanna see see touch touch look look lah.

But somehow I was the one being seen, and recognized, from a stranger in Facebook. And that stranger was the camera shop promoter who tended to me when I tried out the EP1.

Damn weird loh, a promoter suddenly asking for your name only to tell you she has you on her friend list and reads about my Facebook updates. The world is small.

First I got to know my bf online gazillion years ago, I met a long-lost friend through several mutual friends, bumped into some kawan on the streets at the most unexpected places, and an old friend of mine is the current girlfriend of my boyfriend’s friend. Wtf. Really sibeh scary.

That aside, Ms Joyce recognized me particularly well because she lives with my bestie near the TARC campus.

It was then that found out that Ms Bestie always mentioned about me and the good old times? *Sob*

She told me that she really missed the times we handled assignments together, and wished I was there with her. She missed talking to me and my name was always mentioned to Ms Joyce. Reliving the past and talking about the struggles and joys we had together…

Dear, I wished that I was grinding my nose raw with you guys too. It was a hard decision for me to leave college so soon…

After we finished Diploma’s final examinations and bade our goodbyes, hugging each other and dropping our greetings before we parted ways, I actually thought about 2 potential routes which I can take.

1. Go to India, miss New Zealand’s July Intake and rot for a few months to wait for February.
2. Stay back in TARC, do a little bit of Advanced Diploma before flying off to NZ.

Option 2 was my vain attempt to spend a lil more of my scarce time with friends before I leave Bolehland. But alas, I can’t bear to miss the chance to visit a country that is so fascinating, and I owe it to myself to see how was the living situation of my parents, so I went for No. 1.

And now that I heard about Ms Bestie’s struggle from a third person’s perspective, I nearly cried in the camera store. :(

How I wished that I can be by your side, but the sad reality is, everyone needs to move on.

Will you still remember your friend who misses you with her heart and soul even after 2 years of not doing things together? I really wish I could be by your side now, and I hope you won’t blame me for not doing Adv Dip together…

Because every time I hear about you, I really want to be by your side, but I can’t. One thing I can be sure of that Ms Bestie is a very very strong gal, and now has someone who loves her very much to take good care of her.

My vice president in a press conference lol.

That is man love, but mine is girly love. NOT LESBIAN OKAY! Love you my dearest Christine. <3

Take good care of yourself… Be strong…

To my dearest friends Christine, Yee How, Moon and Kenny:

It has been an incredible two years of college life with you guys. And finally, we have reached the point where we need to say goodbye to each other and move on with our lives.

5 of us are the best of friends and always did everything together, and we always excelled in our homework, just because our personality traits and talents complement each other so well. Everything that the college threw at us, we handled it gracefully together. We have created so much memories with each other, remember? 《十月的后巷》, Faces of Malaysia, 《３０８大选》(except for you Kenny Air Pancut), running around in shopping center to chase people for interview, watch movie, shopping, etc… 

When I found that all of you are staying for Advanced Diploma, my heart feels very heavy - I’ll be the only one breaking off from our wonderful team because I’ve got other plans for my future… Yes, we have been laughing and fooling around for the past few days like nothing happen but deep down my heart is so heavy and I’m always close to tears. Because the prospect of parting from our team is pretty painful to me. All of you left such a deep impression on me… I will never forget all the moments we shared. Thank you for the lovely picture - Our smiles are very nice hor? 我们真的很合作！

I hope after you all experience so much more together for the next two years in Adv Dip, you wouldn’t forget about the Yahoo that has accompanied you throughout our Diploma years… 

After chatting with Christine via SMS for a while, she said that our group will not be the same… But I hope you all will meet with an even better team member and also continue to excel in your studies… Life goes on, right?

Christine, 

Day 28 : 2009-04-12 ~ Anyone horny? Take this.

Available at Waton’s for RM29.95. When everything seems done, the Horny Goat is here to keep you UP!

Nice or not? I want a pair of platform heels so badly~~~~~~~~~ T.T I hate Nine West, makes ridiculously nice shoes for ridiculously mid range prices that makes me indecisive. I can afford it but I’ll be so broke for the month I don’t have money to take taxi home in case my bf decides to dump me on the streets. T.T

Oh… These are from Top Shop btw. It is a bit too rugged for my liking, was thinking about matching these with my dresses. Wanted something more girly. Le sigh.

Day 29 : 2009-04-13 ~ Sushi King conned me wtf.

K lah not Sushi King’s fault. I didn’t know the expensive stuff were not on the RM2 promotion so when my friends rounded up the bill, I paid the fucking most expensive price. T.T

It’s always fun to hang out with my classmates though. :)

Day 30 : 2009-04-14 ~ This is just a hamburger!

My brother crazy wan. When I boarded the treadmill, he did all the settings for me and the speed was too slow. So I proceeded to jack up the speed to varying degrees of 7.5 to 9.5 and I sweated like crazy and nearly fainted. I was puzzled, those are my usual speed, why I can’t handle wan? After running only I realize my bro jacked up the Incline to 4 when I wasn’t looking. %&^%%# Imagine climbing a slightly steep hill top speed for 15 minutes. 

Oh ya, after that, when I was doing barbell lifts, he added two of these on either side. He said, ‘hamburger only!’.

Then after he see me go through these effortlessly, he added two more. I threw him a dirty look and he said, ‘double cheeseburger nia!’.

Wtf!

Day 31 : 2009-04-15 ~ NBTD at Papa John’s

Two blog owners, one drink, one heart. <3 

Day 32 : 2009-04-16 ~ Om nom nom the lala.

I am a lala. My camera phone picture pics are crap. Wish I’d bring my camera. I am a chaborkia scared shitless by the Malaysian crime rate. Shit you. Go fugg yourself.

As per the title, I am already expecting the horny Google hoarde entering my blog through very wrong means. Don’t care lah. Horny faggots, you can proceed to shag yourself nao. Babai.

Day 22 : 2009-04-06 ~ Women’s Achievement Awards (WAA!)

Looks real right? Actually this pic is just a setup. A setup that required 3 poor students to run amok in a shopping mall, trying to gather a baju kurung and saree clad women to pose for us. Fricking pose for an event that does not exist but must look real and credible. Imagine explaining that to bewildered passer-bys and KLCC security guards. Cheongsam girl is courtesy of a friend’s help.

Day 23 : 2009-04-07 ~ All Women for Earth and Equality

Yet another fake but must look real event courtesy of my course syllabus. Did a press conference where I had to be some sort of fake CEO for a real company and doing a fake event that must look real. Phew what a mouthful. Glad it’s over.

Day 24 : 2009-04-08 ~ My Serious Skincare Regimen Starts TODAY

I have had enough with having oral antibiotics for acne. I have a faint suspicion that I’m not doing it the right way. Hence, grudgingly, I went to EPI Derma Formulation for treatments. Hope they can cure me.

Oh ya, first time I do facial painlessly and don’t go back home with even more pustules to pop by myself. See above for proof.

Day 25 : 2009-04-09 ~ The Day My Aunt Left Us

It’s amazing how news can travel so rapidly. A call from my cousin informed me that my aunt has passed away due to an accident. It took her 0.3 seconds to blurt it out, and it took me several minutes to sink in. I was walking in the streets when I came to an abrupt halt. I cried.

She had only just recovered dramatically from a major surgery and has been well and healthy and had been a good grandmother to her grandchild. She had only just appeared in my brother’s wedding a few months back, full of life and dressed beautifully for the occasion.

Now, she’s gone.

Guys, cherish the people around you - Life is just so so so fragile. I have no idea how people can hold grudges for a long time. Boyfriends, girlfriends, parents, children - If you are mad at your loved one, pull them to a hug and tell them you love them… No anger is worth holding that long if you love the person… Don’t leave it too long, it might be too late then…

Dearest aunt, I hope you rest in peace.

Day 26 : 2009-04-10 ~ Big Foot Eated my Brinjal

See previous post for the LOL factor.

Day 27 : 2009-04-11 ~ My Brother is a Good Cook

Yes, you heard me right. My brother was only halfway through his portion when I nearly reached the end of my bowl and took this pic. My bro is a great cook - Does wonders with herbs and olive oil and all things western, Italian, fusion etc. Anyone wanna hire him? He does professional C&S Engineering too. ;)

Day 13 : 2009-03-28 ~ All Women’s For Earth and Equality

Ever wonder what made me so wound up the past week?

It’s this event. For assignment. A fake one, just for the sake of getting a picture, like this.

At the KLCC compound. Full of freaking security guards, curious onlookers and snakes.

This is TARC’s wrath, throwing something like that at us right at the last semester, but thank God, I’ve learnt loads in the process. 

Day 14 : 2009-03-29 ~ All Women’s For Earth and Equality 2

Okay I cheated. I forgot to take a picture. T.T

Very ugly hor squat like that. T.T

Day 15 : 2009-03-30 ~ All Women’s For Earth and Equality 3

An lah I cheated thrice. Sorry. T.T
