hmm.. some highlights. i've been kinda busy lately (and lazy to blog too).
sat.
i got this early morning phone call from my senior in college. woke me up from my sleep so i didn't really get what she said. but what i did get was that she wanted me to go to col at a certain time for a photoshoot. i hmm-ed and humm-ed and told her i didn't want to go because the hours were long and i had plans with pris and annann. so i went back to sleep.
later, got a txt from her telling me the time was changed (a more appropriate time) and (allow me to be a bit perasan hehe) that she really wanted me to be there. so i agreed. so after lunch with prissy and annann (which was great cos we don't really get to talk to pris all that much anymore, she's been so occupied lately... ), i went to col. with annann.
so the real deal was that they were taking pics for the col brochures for 2008. and i had to... model (sorta) for it. together with a few other people who except for one other girl, were not from my college. lol. weird. and the coolest thing, annann got roped in as well. so they made us pose and do stuff and all that. you know.. photoshoot stuff. which was like... wow, a once in a lifetime thing.
sun. (fyi, sun is the first day of the week. to me anyway)
family trip to hatyai. as in, extended family. the whole troupe.. grandparents, cousins and all.
just one word for it- TIRING. i was so sleepy and exausted the whole time i was there. didn't feel like shopping, walking, or doing anything for that matter. all i wanted to do was sleep sleep sleep. but i did like the food there. and the night market. didn't do much shopping there though. nothing very appealing.
food stalls at the night market. everything looks so good. but i didn't try.
grubs. let's see, we have fried worms, fried crickets, fried beetles... was so tempted to try. i'm kicking myself for not trying them.
oh oh.. and here comes the good food. sharks fin soup. i know i said i wouldn't eat sharks fin anymore on account of the inhumane way they're killed just for their fins but .. it was just too good.... yeah i know, what a hypocrite right? haih.... why're all good food bad?
yep, the sharks fin.
and bird's nest. it was good. so very good.
this is the morning market. felt so claustrophobic in there. and i had this silly image of some mission impossible or james bond scene running through my head the whole time. you know, the chee kek fighting parts.
mon.
came back and went to buy my notebook. i'm now a proud owner of a vaio CR. my lil white baby. hehe.
tues.
went for my dad's lion's club new year's gathering. it was actually pretty fun. better than i imagined. they booked a private room with karaoke. and the adults were generally very crazy, hogging the mikes and stuff. we even had games. and i discovered baileys irish cream. i don't really like alcohol all that much. i mean, it's just normal... nothing special, not like how some people just love it. but baileys... it's nice. very smooth and creamy with a hint of chocolate. but alcohol is bad ler. bad for the liver.
wed.
went hiking. with mel, michelle, crystal ball, ann ann, daniel, melissa and victor. oh and my sis. we hiked up to point 5. yay! i've never been there, so it's a mini acheivement. i hate hiking ok.
then later spent some time with my cousins who came down to penang. dinner and stuff. saw an aston martin outside g hotel. gorgeous car.
