Deep and Meaningless
Yeah I, I don't know why I still feel your touch
You, you left me feeling high and dry
With nothing, nothing but the question why
Yeah you, I guess you had another direction
And leaving me with nothing but a dead connection
If you call me today
I'll say that I'm fine
But I bet you can tell by the tone of my voice
It's just a lie
You knew what you had
You still walked away leaving me in this mess
My love for you is deep and meaningless
You, you knew what you were doing to me
And I, I guess I was too blind to see
Well you hit where it hurt and you fooled me so bad
But I'd do it again to relive what we had
Damn that's sad

Not Again..

Can't Believe This Happened To Me
And so, I missed my keyboard exam. That's 1 year of preparation and $200 down the drain. I nearly broke into tears.
Anyway, I was pissed at the same time. And so.... I bought a new phone - a white Iphone 4! I love my new gadget baby! And I have also sourced some watches and am waiting for the retailer to email me back.
Next thing to buy, an alarm clock!
Luckily this did not occur next week when work has started for me. I do not even dare to think of the consequences if I oversleep.
This exam incident may be a warning from above. =P

Like Moth To Fire
Captain: Yes. It is such a beautiful thing, isn't it? And what is on the other side? I just keep thinking about it.
Crew: Captain, you know that there is a possibility that we may end up destroying our ship and losing our lives? Nobody who went through the black hole came back.
Captain: Yes, I know. But the black hole keeps haunting me. I just cannot look away from it. Sometimes, when I stared real hard, I caught a glimpse of something good.
Crew: But most of the times, it is just black, hopeless and depressing.
Captain: I know. Just indulge in me once? I have never been in a black hole before. Even if I end up shattered, at least I've been there and lived to tell the tale. I believe the glimpses of something good will be enough to sustain me through. And I know that if anything happen, you will be there to help me rebuild this ship, right?
Crew: You are so silly.
Captain: The black hole has already started its pull on me. I am in too deep.

KL Road Trip
Day 1 - Muar and KL
Our first breakfast at Malaysia's KFC while waiting for ZR and JH to clear the customs. To our surprise, there were no long queues or jams despite the long weekend. What to do while waiting for ZR and JH? Camwhore with my camwhore partner, Henry!
Finally, ZR and JH cleared the customs and we took a cab to Jason's house to collect his dad's car for the road trip.
On our way!
We depended on the GPS to guide us to Muar.
But the battery ran low before we reached Muar! We depended on our instincts and the sparse road signs from that point on. Luckily, we managed to find our way.
The parking coupons in Muar are so interesting! No loopholes for cheating. Heh!
Time for lunch at Muar famous 四马路 (si ma lu)!
The meat was so-so and the otahs were thin and average too. Think we need to do more research next time. =P
The dessert was good though.
The weather was freaking hot! ZR's ears turned super red from the hot weather.
We finally reached KL at around 4 plus. And I saw this huge advertisement with a very familiar face. Christopher Lee looks so young here! Wonder how long has this advertisement been around. =P
We stayed in Hotel Equitorial. Although the exterior of the hotel looked rather worn and dirty, the inside was nice and the service was commendable. Plus, the rooms were affordable!
ZR aimed straight for the bed (under all the pillows). Haha!
They never grow up.
Time for some serious planning on where to go for dinner and some shopping.
We decided to go Jalan Alor for dinner. But first, some camwhoring shots since we had a big mirror in our room! Haha!
A common sight in KL.
From our hotel, it was just a 10-15 minutes walk to Jalan Alor.
What's a good meal without beer? Cheers to our arriving safely in KL!
The Oyster Omelette was the crispy kind. I prefer our Singapore version.
Their La La were very special.
I had fried mushrooms from the lok lok stall but prayed hard that I will not suffer from food poisoning. Heh!
After dinner, we went to the Pavillion. It is something similar to our Ion where all the brands are located.
And Jason introduced us to this superb chocolate shake from Godiva. It was heavenly!
JH and ZR had the cheesecake. It was very creamy which was to my liking but not to some of them. Heh!
While waiting, they had to suffer from my constant camwhoring. =P
Told ya, they never grow up.
Our only group picture taken by others for the whole trip!
And then, it was the highlight of my trip - KL Zouk!
Getting ready to party the night away!
We opened a bottle of Black Label. Cheap cheap! Only 373 Ringgit!
The guys truly enjoyed themselves that night. KL Zouk has dancers dancing at a level above us in various stages of undress. Food for their eyes. Moreover, according to them, they had never felt so many boobs brushed past them before. Heh!
I enjoyed myself too because I received praise from a stranger! Haha!
The night ended with all of us tipsy but very happy! The jokes that we had in the hotel rooms... =P
Day 2 - Genting and KL
The number of jackets JH and I brought for our trip. Heh!
Preparing to go Genting!
By the way, don't ever eat Subway in KL. One of the worst meals I have ever had.
We took a six-seater cab up Genting. A very comfortable ride up!
I think JH was getting irritated with my constant picture-taking. Heh!
"Jason, make that pervert smile using my shades!"
I like this shot!
JH got a bit crazy with Jason's DSLR. Haha!
Jason and his pervert smile again. Heh!
We decided to take the cable car down. There were sooooo many people queuing to go down.
I like this sneakers shot!
We analysed the first sign on the top row from the right and still could not figure out what it is.
When we reached the cable car station, there was no more bus down Genting. So, we took a cab again. The driver was damn good. Rushing at 110km/hr down Genting. Phew...
We reached KL CC at around 830pm. The place is very pretty and breath-taking! I was amazed and stumped by how the lights managed to make the buildings dazzle and glow.
We sat and watched the musical fountain for a while.
Henry and his camwhoring ways.
Stupid ZR and his hand.
The guys and their typical "act cool" poses.
Henry being protective of his gay partner. Haha!
We had dinner at the Little Penang Kafe. The Char Kway Tiao and Lor Bak were good!
We went over to the other side of KL CC and took more of what JH termed "cheesy shots". Well, she is an Art Major and an Art teacher.
The boys spotted this small fountain and boasted that they could easily jump over it. We (the girls) doubted it. They tried to prove us wrong.
Anyway, the boys were jumping behind the fountain and not over it. Haha! The area was too slippery to take any risks.
Then, they decided to scale a low wall for better shots with the KL CC.
We then made our way to Pacific Regency Hotel Luna Bar. Jason told us that it boasted a good skyview and we should pop in for a drink. We walked a long distance and cut through some dubious alley before we reached the place. My first words when I reached was "Eh, I feel very out of place." The place seems very high-class and we were not dressed for it. Moreover, we had to pay cover charge to go in. We decided to give it a miss and return to our small but comfortable rooms for bridge and supper.
There was a surprise waiting for me after I bathed. I was the first to bathe and I noticed something written on the mirror. I was not particularly afraid as I know how to create such images. Just use toothpaste or saliva. The words I saw made me even less frightened. "What's up?" -_-"..
C'mon. I can think of better ones. How about "Who is this?", "Go away", "Leave me alone" and my favourite, "Look up". Haha!
It was on to our favourite activity after we bathed - Bridge time! They could not find me Ramily burger but Henry bought cheesecakes. Woots! I remembered sighing happily, "This is life". =)
Poor JH had to prepare her school work though.
The life of a teacher. =(
Day 3 - KL and Home
We were supposed to visit Malacca on the way back to Singapore. Blame it on our luck. Our car broke down! In the end, someone had to come and change the fuel pump for us. We had never even heard of "fuel pump" before!
The four of us headed to KFC for breakfast while Jason stayed with the car. The manager of the hotel was super nice. He helped to jumpstart the car and stayed with us throughout the whole time.
While having brekkie, we checked whether we struck 4D from the numbers we bought in the Genting the day before.
Nope. =P
We shopped around Bukit Bintang for a while while waiting for the pump to be changed. We headed back to the hotel after that because we did not want to leave Jason alone. I aimed straight for the Magarita at the hotel lounge when we got back. Woots!
ZR looked like he was at the airport. Heh!
Henry's sweet tooth made him aimed for the cakes.
Indulging in a frozen Margarita on a freaking hot afternoon is life. =)
Of course, everytime we had leftovers, we used them for our favourite forfeit game - 终级密码.
And then, it was a long drive back to Jason's JB house before his uncle sent us to the customs. A few rounds of DOTA and supper before we called it "home".
I really enjoyed myself a lot during this trip. The sense of camaraderie, the sharing of favourite songs, the dancing to club hits in the car, the constant banter, etc etc. I kept reliving those moments! I hope that we will have a chance to do this again when I start working!
