Next On My Wish List

        Peeps, something just came out on my wish list recently. You know what, I'm going to work my butt off  next semester break so that I could afford to buy myself this gadget. It's time for me to change my portable music device into something more current, chic and has a lot more storage capacity compared to my current 2GB MP3 player xD

I want a blue iPod Touch 5! :D
        I don't want the latest iPhone 5 but I would like to have an iPod Touch 5 in my grasp. I don't think that collecting money to purchase it would be a problem but I seriously wish I could get this right here right now.
Seriously I would definitely go for the blue one! It looks so pretty in blue O.O
       Aaarghhhh, I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! Okay, I'm going to look forward to my next employment 'cause it would bring me a step closer to owning an iPod Touch 5. xD

Clare's & Syaminee's Farewell Meet-Up

        Well, two of my former classmates will be leaving Malaysia to study abroad so I organised a farewell meet-up for the occasion. Clare will be making her way to New Zealand on the 18th of February whereas Syaminee will be going to India on the 15th of March.


        This time our second reunion / meet-up took place at Berjaya Times Square where we had so much fun catching up with one another whilst making a whole of noise everywhere we went. Haha We had to fill our tummies first before our bowling game later in the evening so we let Syaminee and Clare to decide on where to have our lunch. After a long stare at the nearest directory, we finally made a unanimous decision and chose to eat at Nando's.

        Our lunch or should I say FEAST went on well and was pretty embarrassing actually. Haha We were literally the NOISIEST BUNCH who occupied the long table for more than two hours. This is what happens  whenever a class reunion or meet-up takes place.

        Oh not to forget, the climax of the day was when Raveenaa showed her face. xD It was hilarious! When she arrived, she literally screamed in excitement and all nine of us shouted "Woah!" at the same time. The whole situation was followed by a dead silence that overcame the restaurant as everyone was staring at us. Yes, THE EMBARRASSMENT! But I can say, we seriously miss the noise we were all able to make in school since college life now requires us to behave appropriately and which includes keeping our noise level down. Haha

        After lunch we made our way to the bowling alley while Raveenaa and Hanani sneaked out from the group to buy farewell gifts for our two main stars of the day. After we registered ourselves and booked our lanes, we surprised them with those gifts which Raveenaa and Hanani got for them.

See what they got for Syaminee and Clare. Pretty and memorable bracelets :D
        Sadly, Raveenaa had to leave early so we took a group photo before she left.

        Then, we took our bowling shoes from the counter and bowled till 4.00 pm. I'll just post the photos up and let them do the talking.

Team Two consists of Harshiah, Yu Wein, Syaminee, Wen Qing and Wenn Yue

Wen Qing, Harshiah and Hanani actually put on CBN socks for the game. These peeps are legit CBNers! xD
        We said our goodbyes and took some photos before leaving Times Square so that we could cherish every moment of today's meet-up.

         After we bid farewell to everyone, Harshiah and I went shopping for my phone case as I needed one. We finally found a perfect one after about half an hour 'cause I was being too picky. Haha This was my belated birthday present from her! OMG, I have the most awesome best friend in the entire world! xD

See what she got me  or should I say what I chose xD
        Then, we walked to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur to meet up with her mom for dinner. We had a hearty meal at Morganfields and shared epic moments of food sharing and catching up with one another. xD

Food sharing moments or should I say food fighting moments with my best friend :D
        We ate and ate and ate until we couldn't eat anymore so we decided to go shopping for Harshiah's stuffs. :D At least the walking helped my digestion a little. After an hour or so, we said our goodbyes as it was getting a little late and I was afraid I would miss my train back home.

        Overall, today was indeed a day to remember :D Now, I understand why my teacher used to say that secondary school friends would usually remain as your friends for life. Well as long as I'm around, there will be more meet-ups and reunions. :D

Happy Valentine's Day

      Wishing all couples out there, a Happy Valentine's Day! Haha I'm not celebrating this day but I would like to share my vicarious joy with all you wonderful people out there who have found your other half. Take this day to appreciate your significant other. :D



       I am single, happy and ain't desperate. Haha I'll wait for my true love to sweep me off my feet one day. For those who are still waiting for the love of your life to appear, fret not for he/she will appear at the most unexpected time in your life. Have faith in Him. :D

LOVE LIFE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE YOURSELF! Here I go again with my YOLO attitude. Hahaha

My 19th Birthday

      Although this year's celebration wasn't much as I was spending half of my day in Malacca and the other half travelling home to KL, I was truly touched by friends who sent me lovely midnight birthday wishes, birthday calls and text messages. xD


      This year, I celebrated my birthday with my beloved family.They treated me to a birthday meal at Nando's in Mahkota Parade, Malacca. It was fun to actually spend time with my family. :D Then we went for a movie and I was given the advantage to pick my birthday movie. Haha I chose 'Les Misérables' and I was glad that I made the right choice! xD

Best musical ever! I loved it and I wouldn't mind watching it again. Haha Two words , SPECTACULAR AND PHENOMENAL xD
     
      I think I just had a girl crush on Anne Hathaway who played the character, 'Fantine'. OMG, she acted so well! O.O Hugh Jackman who played Jean Valjean was DABOMB as well! Haha I actually cried at several parts of the movie. *Two thumbs up*

      As I was looking at the clock, knowing that February 12 was coming to an end, I sat in front of my laptop and started to ponder. It struck me that I just officially turned 19 and this marks the beginning of my last teenage year. D: OMG, I'm growing up so fast! Hahaha

      By the way, my best friend posted on my Facebook wall a few minutes ago. Man, I'm seriously lucky to have her as my best friend! xD


      Yes, that marked the end of my birthday but it has also given me hope that this life which God has given me holds a greater meaning and purpose. Thank you for your never-failing blessing, Father God :D I am truly blessed for having such good friends and a supportive family as my support system.

Chinese New Year 2013

      Hey guys, I'm back with more updates! :D I just came back from Malacca and I'm overwhelmed with frustration. D: Sad to say, I think this year's celebration was the most disappointing one yet.

      It all started when we were on our way to Malacca. Not only we started our journey late, we also had to face a massive traffic jam from Seremban to Senawang. Unfortunately, after passing through the jam my dad's car broke down  in the middle highway. OMG, the frustration! -_-" We almost received help from a 'kind man' who turned out to be a fraudster. Thankfully, we managed to call the PLUS line for help and they offered their FREE tow service to tow our car to the nearest toll.



      The whole situation took up about five hours and got me really restless and hungry. It destroyed my CNY mood! We had no choice but to contact our relatives to pick us up. We reached home around 5.00 pm. OMG, see.... we started our journey at 11.30 am and reached at 5?! Haha Plus, we had no car to travel around Malacca Town for the next two days. What a 'wonderful' day to start off CNY?! -_-"

      Then, the second day came. As usual, we had a reunion dinner and went visiting each of our relatives' houses. The only things I loved were the food and drinks. Apart from that, I think I enjoyed receiving ang pows, admiring their house decorations and not forgetting, playing with their dog, Summer. xD If I'm not mistaken she's about five to six years old, even the dog is aging. -_-"



      I didn't mingle around with my relatives much because language and awkwardness were often communication barriers. Despite all that, I was happy to visit my grandma who was always caring and loving. Hehe

These are my cousins. Three of them are missing from the picture though!
Second row : Stella, Anna, Sabrina, Cheng, Rachel
First row : Annicia, Maggie, Aaron and Me
      Today is the third day and yes, wondering why I'm back so early? I'm back to celebrate my birthday! I seriously cannot let my one special day to be as boring as hell and plus, my dad didn't want to stay there for too long so we decided to leave early. :D

      Sorry guys, CNY has not been my favourite festival! :D But oh well, since I'm Chinese might as well appreciate the culture and enjoy the holidays. Haha

Happy Chinese New Year

      To those who are celebrating Chinese New Year, I would like to wish each and everyone of you a blessed New Year! :D 

May the Year of the Snake brings you luck, prosperity and success. LOL I sound so Chinese all of a sudden! xD
      By the way, a good friend of mine sent me this adorable CNY video through Whats App. Allow me to spread some CNY joy :D Hehe Here you go...


       Just so you know, I'll be returning to Malacca for three days to celebrate with my relatives. xD Which also means that I won't be having any Internet connection over the next few days. T___T Oh, brother! I'm praying for a more enjoyable CNY celebration this year though! Hopefully everything would turn out well. o.O Good thing I'm bringing along my laptop, external drive, MP3 player, Audit notes and a set of movies. These are for just-in-case situations where I could get too restless and bored.

Oh and not forgetting, I would also like to thank all you lovely people for sending your lovely CNY wishes/messages via SMS, Whats App, Viber, Line, Facebook, Twitter and WeChat :D THANK YOU!

More blog updates coming your way as soon as I return from Malacca. :D

A Gathering with the Senior Citizens

      I finally had the time and commitment to attend my first Girl Guide event for the year. After doing some reflection, I realised it has been quite a while since I last blogged about girl guide events. OMG, that proves how long I've been missing in action?!

       Okay, let's get back to our main topic here. Today's event was held at Vistana Hotel and was attended by groups of senior citizens from various societies like Methodist Church, Cancerlink Foundation, MAB (Malaysian Association For the Blind), YMCA etc.

      I was given my responsibility as soon as I stepped into the ballroom. =_= I know right, typical Puan Toh! Instead of receiving those usual morning or welcome greetings, what I got from the first person I met up with was "Mei Wern, your job is to be my photographer today. Okay, make sure you take every single performance and each table with Dato' Yeoh and......." *Sorry, I didn't capture the rest of her instructions 'cause I was distracted by others*


Yeah, I am indeed the long lost dinosaur xD
Le photographer of the day. Haha Credits to Pui  Leng
      Nevertheless, I managed to carry out my spontaneous duties without a sweat (although I was technically running up and down like a mad woman, trying to get photos while having my lunch). A Girl Guides is always prepared for whatever tasks/duties she's given. *Always be prepared* LOL By the way, the task I was given was a piece of cake. Haha =_="

     I enjoyed all the performances especially the band, D' Amigos. The lead singer amazed us with her fine voice and multilingual singing talent. If I'm not mistaken, she sang songs in Malay, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and English. OMG, she seriously deserved a standing ovation. *thumbs up*

Girl Guides with the band members of D' Amigos :D
      Overall, the event was a success despite the one-hour delay. Everything else went pretty well and the food was truly satisfying. xD I think what I enjoyed most besides the performances was having the chance to meet up with my old Guiding buddies, teachers and my juniors. It was nice to be a part of Guiding again. :D 

      Okay readers, I don't plan to type out a newsletter-long post so that's all from me tonight and I'll let the photos below do the talking. ENJOY :D
