Hello blog. Once again ( i said this so many times ) time flies and its the end of November, which means one more month and its Bon Voyage year 2006!! Ahhh...very soon, well in a month and 3 weeks time i will be leaving my home town. Going abroad to a foreign place where u will meet all sorts of people, of different race and culture. I will have to blend in with them. Life would be very much different once i step my foot into Adelaide (yes thats where i m heading to) .....the feeling is just too hard to describe....lots of mix feelings....how do u describe that?
Right now its time for me to make a list of what to bring and what else do i need to buy...........geez this could be a hell lot of headache.
Anyway, last saturday i went to have my medical check up and X-ray done. first i went to AC to collect my medical form then straight away headed to the clinic. I forgotten to bring my passport and picture along, so the after the medical check up i rushed home and grab my passport and passport size pic then straight away went to do my X-ray. Ahhh...we hustled and bustled. Just to get my visa granted we hav to go through all this trouble..
The weird thing is i wonder why the doctor din conduct a blood test........i thought he should?
Hmmm...
On Monday i received a phone call frm Dr Kheng clinic..the nurse said i need to do my urine test again bcuz my urine contains blood!.......Oh my.........i was shocked for few secs then i started to think again, maybe its bcuz of my menses..it came on the same day but during the evening. I did my check up in the morning. Ahhhh.........dont think too much! Everything will be fine. Darn it shold hav come later or earlier.........why tat day!!!!!!!!! troublesome!!!!!!
I would have to go back to the clinic next week when everything is clear. The nurse called my hp again today asked when i m goin and whether i know tat i need to redo my urine test..T_T
Which means............................i would have to wait for another few weeks till i my visa is granted and have a peace of mind...hump.
Sigh...i hope i pass the medical check up. If not.................................
Gahh...why isnt my cough getting better!! There is a feather stuck in my throat, tickling it at certain hours, specially at night before i sleep or when i get up in the morning!! Fuhhh......*coughs* *coughs*
Alrites i think tats it for now. will blog again soon....tata!

♥ what a Freaky day!
Yesterday was indeed a terrifying day for me...
Everything was fine in the morning, normal morning like any other mornings till afternoon came..
The weather was bright and sunny at first untill 2pm..dark clouds started to cover the sun and within minutes the whole place was dark. Then the thunder came roaring. I decided to switch off the computer before anything bad happens and went into the kitchen, as i was blending some fruits..the lightning was flashing here n there minutes after minutes..i was so scared. I hate lightnings and thunders!
After blending the fruits and clearing up the kitchen, i decided to grab a snack, took a packet of biscuit from the cupboard. As i opened the refrigerator to put in the remaining biscuits there was lightning again..frightened i quickly shut the refrigerator and i havent even put the biscuit in. This happens 3 times.The thunder was really loud..then i suddenly remembered the newspaper article that i read few months ago about a lady who got strike by lightning while waiting for her curry to be cooked..oh no no..actually she stood near the refrigerator and the lightning strike the refrigerator and she got hit too! The refrigerator was completely burnt!..Yikes..haha so i have this ominous feeling..u know get strike by lightning! wuahahahaha.
There was no electricity at the same time after all that thunder and lightning. So the best policy was to sit still..i didnt dare to move and i covered my ears whenever there was lightning.
Besides fear...worries flow in too. Mom should be coming home at this time, and since there is no eletricity the automatic gate wouldnt work unless u use a special key to loosen the gate's motor. I just didnt have the guts to go out under the rain with the thunder and lightning having party! =( ..so i m being ominous again...scared i got strike by lightning...
Mom called and told me she was stuck in a traffic jam along the traffic lights at jalan lintas highway..phew* a sign of relief..luckily the electricity came back 2ominutes later and mom wasnt back yet.
....and that was my horrible afternoon.
Things got back to normal again. Night came.....
Mom asked me to help her with the laundry after the washing machine finishes its job. That was around 10.30 pm. Both my parents went upstairs to sleep. I was watching TV and around 11.30 i went to sort out the laundry.
After all that i decided to go online for a while. Switched on the comp and as i sat down....POOF.....total darkness. I was stunned for 10secs...ohh for crying out loud...POWER CUT AT 12MIDNIGHT!!@#&#@#*!! this is crazy. It was so dark, good thing my handphone was beside me. So i used my hp as a torchlight..searching for another proper torchlight in the dark that took me 10minutes. I calmly locked all the doors and went up straight! My dog and the rest of the neighbour's dog were howling like a wolf..geez its midnight. People say dogs howl cuz they see something..but the weird thing is all the dogs here howl whenever the gas man (people selling tanks of gas loaded in a lorry) passed by the housing estate hon-ing *beeeeep beep beeep Beep*...weird doggys
Anyway, i felt more calm compare to what happened in the afternoon..guess thunder and lightning has bigger effects on me instead of power cut in the middle of the night!
.........i couldnt sleep till the electricity came back............
So this was my freaking creepy day...all happened in one go.

♥ back.
1st November
My flight to Kuching was at 9.30pm. Arrived the terminal 2 airport around 7.40pm. There were so many cars and the traffic was moving slow due to the construction (exteding the terminal 2 airport). Because of the construction work, the airport was in a big mess. They made a temporary entrance for dropping and picking up passengers, as i walk through the temporary walkway, right at the corner was a cafe and some food stalls and on the left side was where we check-in. Oh my goodness, the airport was so packed! The queue was long and still there were many people who just arrived frm another place. (this part of the scence makes me feel like i m in India..dusty and packed with people! )
Luckily there wasnt any flight delays. We boarded the flight on time . The food sold in the airplane is double the price compared to those sold in the supermarket. LOL..one box of milo for RM4?? Noodle cup for RM5?? No thanks.
Overall the flight to Kch was smooth and comfortable.
Arrived Kuching airport around 10.40pm, me and my mom stayed over at my cousin's hse.
2nd November
Meet up with my 3rd auntie. Had Laksa and teh si peng for breakfast Oh and not to forget i tried something new which is impossible to find in KK.."Lok Teau San"..a kind of delicacy made out of yellow coloured beans in syrup which is eaten with "yeau cha kueh"..Mmmm..sedap.
After breakfast my 3rd auntie drove us down to Bau town..my mom's birth place. Bau town is forever the same, busy in the morning and quiet at nite.Well not that quiet actually, at nite all the youngsters will come out for a drink and u could hear speeding motorbikes along the road (my grandma shop is rite in the middle of the town, the road is in between two row of shops) and cars modified with big exhaust pipe..u could imagine how it sounds like when they accelerate..the noise just pierce into your ears.
whenever they do that i feel like yelling at them..gahhh those Mat Rempits. In the morning i m easily woken up by the noise, the best alarm clock that could wake me up!
Glad to see grandma, cousins and aunt.
In the afternoon mom and i went over to visit my 2nd uncle who is suffering frm cancer. Quite amazed to see him alert although he lost weight compared to the last time i saw him.
3rd November
Spent the entire morning helping my cousin to look after the shop at the same time we played BINGO..haha trying to kill our boredom off.
Ate kolo mee for lunch and at around 4.00pm my cousin drove me and my mom to Kuching. Meet up with my dad. It was an unexpected plan, since my dad had a meeting in KL , he thought of changing his return ticket to Kuching instead of flying back to kk. So he could spend the weekend in Kuching.
Had dinner in Jln Song..a newly opened place, one of the hot spot in kuching. Lots of newly opened coffee shops, boutiques, and not to forget at night the place is like "Pasar Malam" where u can see lots of people selling food and pirated CDs!!! DVD cds for RM3..u can find all sorts of korean series, taiwan..etc. One whole stretch of stalls selling piles of pirated CDs..surprisingly the police didnt bother to catch them.
4th November
Woke up around 6.30am. Looks like the haze is back, the weather was gloomy. Went to climb mount Singai (a pilgrimage centre)..a good morning exercise and also a quiet place for me to spend time with God. later in the afternoon i was starting to get bored. Me and my cousin decided to resume our BINGO game..ahahaha..and suddenly my favourite cousin Caroline (wahaha i have lots of cousin ay) came in surprise all the way frm Kuching.
Decided to stay overnight at her house. At night we went to have dinner in a classy restaurant called "Bla..bla..bla" (wonder why the owner name it Bla..bla..bla). The restaurant is actually an old shop situated somewhere in the middle of the city called Padungan i think, the interior design is awesome. what u see outside is so different than what u see inside the restaurant. As u enter the restaurant, u can see a very unique walkway..instead of just a flat smooth pavement..they made it into something like a pond..with blocks of square stones that u could step to cross over to the other side of the restaurant. There is koi fish in the pond..very unique and risky at the same time, cuz its quite dim inside so i was just so scared that i would trip off and fall into the pond. Was looking downwards all the time to make sure i dont miss a step.I guess those waitress have to be extra carefull when they walk through this pavement. Haha, me and my cousin sat upstairs as it was packed downstairs. There was this group of girls i think around my age, all 6 of them has different and weird sense of fashion, me and my cousin was making comments..hahaha..one girl wore a really really short denim pants with a long sleve blouse! Long and short? what a weird combo. Another wore a furry jacket..in this kind of climate! Another girl wore..a white tube dress..Mmm..looks more like a wedding gown to me..or its probably her prom dress. Ahahaha..fashion these days are getting more n more wild. Dinner was good.There were other cafes,pubs and restaurant along the street..abit like Bintang Walk.
Had a great time. After dinner my cousin drove me to a place called "Travilon"..another newly opened place, somewhat like damai..very happening place, a hot spot for youngsters.
5th November
The haze got worse even worse than KK, my eyes and nose were itchy. Caroline brought me and my nephew and niece to the "Sarawak Club" which was burnt down few months ago...and the remaining was the car park. Now they have transform the top bit of the carpark into a recreation centre, There is the Gym centre, library and a cafe.
I accompanied my nephew and niece to the library to return their books.
Meet up with mom later in the evening. Had dinner in Jln Song again but this time in another coffee shop. my cousin recommended me to try the 5 layer teh si peng! hahah new version of teh si peng...5 layers instead of 3.
Went back to Bau at night.
6th November
Did nothing much. Me and my mom followed my 2nd uncle down to Kuching for his reflexiology theraphy.
7th November
Spend my entire day helping out my cousin with the shop. Walk around Bau town with mom, mom surely knows most of the people in town, whenever i passed by a shop, people will great my mom.."eh since when u came back?".."oh this is ur daughter".."wah grown up ady oh"...*grins*
8th November
My last day in sarawak..my flight was around 7.30pm. Packed up my things in the morning. Later in the afternoon, played BINGO with my cousin again..gahhh..luck wasnt with me that day, kept lossing each game..we were so bored of BINGO so we decided to play, the aeroplane game instead...and old game. felt like we were kids again. wuahahaha...i still lose. T_T
Luckily there were no flight delays..arrived kk 9.00pm.
Had lots of fun Kuching and Bau, but still i feel it wasnt enough....humans can never feel satisfied huh?...Regret that i didnt took lots pics with my relatives..=(
Staying in Bau makes ur mind stay away frm all the anxiety back home..guess holidays are suppose to be that way. Oh well, all good things have to come to an end.
its back to square one.

Once again i officially welcome the month of November..hahahahah...craps! Geez....isnt time passing by so fast???? Hm...nth much happen lately. Went to Reen's open house last week, had a great time specially meeting up with close friends again. =D
Hmm..i am kinda stuck here, dunno what to blog about.......
I have become mom's personal computer tutor..wuahahahaha..been teaching her how to switch on the computer, where to look for microsoft word and how to use it. hahaha...mom doesnt hav any problem with typing, tho abit slow. sometimes she forgets how to highlight the words as in where u should start highlighting..haha..hm hm..but one thing for sure mom has grap the basic things she needs to know, like how to open a new file, how to save it..where to look for it in microsoft words. Just realise there is so many methods and short cuts you could use in microsoft word either using the keyboard or the mouse! Dad would start grumbling if i tell mom other methods, i get it better teach mom just one method first or else she would get very confused. LOL!! Teaching is harder than learning........shouldnt it be the other way? not for this case.
Now i wonder how and when did i first learn microsoft word. =P
