Happy 1st anniversary.

And many, many more to come.

I love you

I be lonely on Christmas, and till the end of 2010.

Wish you were here.


I don't have anyone at home to talk you
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you

It is the same as remembering what you have lost.

When your friends are out to play
You keep loneliness at bay

6 Dec; Met up with Tsoi, Jiakai and Judah at 9pm, and we got on the bus around 9.30. Our seats were separated two a pair and two single seats; I sat with Judah in the pair seats. Had a nice talk with Judah during the first part of the trip. Shared thoughts and opinions haha. Insightful.

After through all the custom immigrations, we could use the video system provided for each of us! Pretty cool stuff, they have games, music (lol but no songs in it!), movies! I watched Avatar, considering that I missed the movie while it was in theatres. It's a great movie :)

I sat looking out the window for the rest of the ride; with a thousand thoughts running through my head. Yes I love quiet night-bus rides.

Detailed thoughts of our first day. Nostalgia from sitting on a coach.
Miss you.
and thank you for your prayers for our safety :)

Arriving at Genting Highlands at 3am, it was really cold! Walked around the place, and settled for breakfast (at 5am lol) at KFC. The peace and quiet is awesome. Walked around somemore and we just sat down at Macs and played cards there lol. Everybody's exhausted; we're all highly sleep-deprived lol.

We got up to check out the cable cars at 7+, to check out the prices and make sure it wasnt under renovation. We went outdoors - rooftop of the carpark - and wow, did we get an awesome scenery!

We were sandwiched between two layers of clouds; one layer of white clouds so thick you cant see through them, and one thin layer above us. We can see clouds cover parts of buildings. It is just awesome to be above the clouds, literally! The breeze was wonderful as well, cool but not chilly. We took a few pictures there, took us more than 30 minutes perhaps?

Epic.

We settled for the cable cars at 8am. More wonderful sceneries, this time from mid-air! The cable car drives us downwards slowly, taking perhaps 20 mins. More pictures were taken in the process.

"*with Tatyan's accent* uhh~"

We see more of greeneries actually. Perhaps hills as well, and buildings high and away from us, and buildings below and getting nearer to us. It was also awesome to travel through the thick white clouds; you watch smoke-like particles drift past you.

We got off at the stop, walked around, and be back to go back up in 5 mins.

We waited at the lobby for our hotel room key.. And we fell asleep waiting.

We got up from our hotel rooms at 11.30am. We had lunch at the food court...which was totally overpriced. Service sucks, and it was really chaotic. I haven't seen food prices that are all above fast food prices? Scary.

We had two games of bowling afterwards. Looks like the four of us bowl together a lot huh? Actually plus Kevin as well but......

We went to get tix for Rapunzel, at RM12, for a night movie :D

And then we ta pao-ed a large and a regular pizza into our hotel room and we parteh-ed LOL. Delicious, fragent pizzas accompanied by poker cards and uno cards.. haha. Sumptuous dinner much?

We had a chat session after again. I love friendly chat sessions haha.

Rapunzel is a nice movie! Very comical lol. I just love the horse LOL. It's not a movie that's too short as well; in fact a little long, but it's still a must watch movie :D

We returned to our room, played cards a while more, and turned in for an action-packed next day :)

It was, unfortunately, raining when we got up at 7am. Judah said it had been raining since about 6am. I jumped right into Tsoi and Jiakai's beds and wake them up lol! Tsoi, Judah and I went for breakfast, and Jiakai would sleep in.

We had Marybrown for breakfast. And we watched activity around the indoor theme park start at about 7.30am. I can't remember what I had but I was still hungry after breakfast. So we got some instant noodles and went back to the hotel, waiting for the rain to stop.

The three of us had a listening-to-music session at our room.

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

When the rain stopped at about 10am, we woke Jiakai up and head out for the outdoor theme park. Played the Go-cart first, and spinning, swinging thing as well. Marybrown for lunch again. It started raining. In the end we wasted over an hour waiting for the rain to stop. So we went to play pool, for over an hour.

The rain did stop after we finished our game of pool. We went back for another round of Go-cart, and headed for dinner at KFC. Yes, we ate tons of unhealthy food!

We went for a round of roller coaster. Then we went for this water bumper boat thing. It's the bumper cars game on water lol. You get to drive these motored boats and bump into other's boats. And it's fun! Splashing fun hahaha.

And when we finished that the outdoor theme park was closing. We got more instant noodles and went back to our hotel room.

We taught Tsoi how to play bridge; it was no doubt a difficult job, but also due to different play styles. I taught them the memory game as well. And we played right up till 3.30am, and everyone's exhausted, and turned in.

We got up at 11.30am, packed up, had pizza for lunch again.

I slept the first half of the return trip, tried to play their video game on the bus, and just stared outside when the sky was turning dark.

And I remember Tsoi's relentless line, "'Tis quite fun, huh?"



[credits to Tsoi for all pictures.]


Each move you make is a memory
Each word you speak is a melody
Each tear you cry is a reason why
It's so hard now to say goodbye
Each breathe you take is a gift to me
Each kiss you give is an endless dream
Each touch from you burns like the sun

Will you still burn when I am gone?

It's been eventful since my 18th birthday.

25 Nov; Met Hong, Bert and Judah got fishing in the morning. Just a quick near 2 hours session. Had 1 catch I think? Caught a bigger one again haha. Lunch at Thai Express; cost split such that Bert and Judah treats both of us and Hong and I treat each other as well. The food's good, better than I actually expected. Thanks Hong, Bert, Judah! :)

Had a LAN session with the 4Faith clique in the afternoon, and had dinner at 日本村. The food's not bad, quite filling as well, but it is quite expensive. Must have been quite a lot of the rest to treat Oliver and I for dinner. Thanks Kenneth, Leslie, Leon, Sing Hau, Barry, Jien Li, and Oliver for dinner and a present! :)

And thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Over 70 of you :) And Charmian for wishing twice lol :)

26 Nov; Dinner with Huimei, Jose, Jianwei and Victoria at Northpoint. Met up with Qiuhui and caught Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) as well. I guess it's not too bad, except that I can't really judge it if it's only half the story. I didn't read the book for this series, but at least I read almost every other book.

30 Nov; Oliver, Hong and Bert came over in the afternoon to help me install Diablo 2...Best friends' company is awesome :) After that Bert went home while we met up with Man and friends for dinner at Pizza Hut. 3 pizzas as usual; a treat for Hong and I. Thanks Hong, Oliver, Bert, Shu En, Man, Ying Shiang, Hex and Aaron! :)

1 Dec; 0912B Class Outing. Unsurprisingly, the entire class is late, with Harb and I being first to reach (5 mins late lol). Got to Sentosa and eventually the beach. Played ball a little, and we all ended up the waters haha, all except Sufyan. And of course we were trying to toss him into the waters! Played *cheating* Captain's Ball in the waters. Game failed lol.

We changed and played a little game. The package goes round in the circle, and when the music stops, the person holding onto the package unwraps a layer and does the dare. The game finishes when the package is fully unwrapped to the present underneath. The best dare was Sufyan's pole dance; Rat as the pole! Oh and I owe Xueqin an icecream haha.

Skyride + Luge. The Skyride is just a bench hanging in midair (passengers safely secured of course). Your slippers could drop off anytime lol. A quick 5 mins ride uphill. Luge is a Go-cart except it doesnt run on motor! Gravity effects, hehe. Sped all the way and even almost tipped over lol. That's fun!

Lunch at KFC, and the class surprises me with Nadia's home-made chocolate confectionery with M&Ms on top! It's not bad at all haha. Thanks 0912B :)

3 Dec; Gym session with Shu En and Ying Shiang. First time at a public gym. Ah, I have so much training to do :/ and I'm running out of time. Tried not to overtrain at the gym; I haven't exercised in months!

6 Dec; Grad Night. Well actually it wasn't good, overall. Normal food, or perhaps a little below hotel standard, lousy events. The best part of Grad Night was the dance performance by our Dance group? Haha, what fail.

Went out drinking with Guoxi, Rat and Xueqin after Grad Night. Walked for almost an hour in search, initially, of The Butter Factory, but we pretty much figured it'd be too crowded. So we went to the nearby Helitop. Had lime margarita; it tastes great! Although the taste of alcohol wasn't really there haha. Rat and Guoxi had quite a few drinks. And while Xueqin steals sips from Guoxi's glass, it appears that Guoxi and Xueqin are almost drunk? Haha. Awesome night :)


I hold you close and kiss your lips
Can I not hold with tighter grip?
Can I not stay for one more day?
Well even that will go away
And I just want to say

Hanging by a thread of hope.
