MCKL Treasure Hunt

Whee~! Finally, that's over! Now we can all sleep! The planning was really fun but it was tiring, still all of us enjoyed ourselves!!! I think Friday was the most taxing on all of us especially on the senior student council comm., I heard they slept really late. We had to reach college at 5:30 in the morning to prepare and thank God Eunice offered me a ride or else I wouldn't make it.

Hehehe...I'm proud of the black shirt we got! *sweat*... I prefer the black shirt over the white. Me and Eunice were the first ones to reach, so it was kinda weird being alone in college without anyone else. All the student council members filed in before 6 and we got to work straight away. Mr JP makes us stick to the 'system' and the schedule very closely, and besides, all of us despite being tired, we sorta feel pumped up, okay maybe that's me only. HAHAHAHA

Some were really going all the way out to win; so here's a question for you...If you were a participant, would you be running up and down the shopping complex hunting for clues or would you leisurely walk???

It's obvious most of them would be running rite? Hahahaha...guess what!? Seems that the Lot 10 security guards didn't know there was a Treasure Hunt event going on, they said we didn't obtain approval from the management and we have no right to barge in. Ok, yes technically our management didn't get the approval done properly so the Lot 10 security guards does have the right to chuck us out but hey.. You don't have to be so rude rite?

The participants were running around the complex and it was creating disturbance or so it seems. The tennants, especially Delifrance was complaining. (which I don't blame them) So the Head of Security came to speak to me. Why? Cause, I'm the only one wearing black and I think it must have gave them the idea that I was in charge.

"What is going on here!?"

"Er..we're having a treasure hunt contest."

"By who?"

"Methodist College."

"You didn't get our approval! And your not suppose to be running around!"

"Sorry sir..er..sorry.."


He just stalked off before I could speak any further. Then after 5 minutes he came again.


"Your students are very rude!They were running, so we stop them and they blame us some more!! I'm not going to allow this. You get them out now!"


When I heard this, I paniced and called Mr JP. I was told to speak to the Head again and hand him Mr JP's number so they work things out. Before I even finish talking to Mr JP, the Head came to me again..


"I'm going to chase them out now!!! (he signaled his 'men') You don't have our approval!!"


Then all the security guards starting chasing all the participants out while I'm trying to push them in or direct them to Bintang Walk first. I was on the verge of tears but thank God, Mr Micheal was coming down the escalator, so he helped me out with the talking bit while I try to direct the traffic. My phone was ringing off the hook! All the participants were calling to complain. *sigh* This was the moment that made me feel so frustrated that I could break down soon...

So a thank you to Mr Micheal and also Mr Harry for coming to my rescue!! All in all the event was okay except for the few glitches here and there. The 16 of us in the student council manage to pull through the event without much problems, thanks to our lecturers and the non-acedemic staff who actively helped us like Mr JP our student council advisor, Ms Angeline, Ms Jennifer, Mr Maniam and all the others! It's a real pleasure to work with all of ya!

*Sigh*... I'm begining to feel really very exhausted. July...this month is full of activities and I'm already panting a lot now. I hope I can last till end of this month X_x, now I know how tiring it must have been for the seniors. Hahaha...still, I'm happy, very happy. Tiring as my body maybe, I'm happy for so many things.

I'm especially happy today despite my head is about to rupture! Don't know how to explain it but...God has found me again, some parts of me went missing but he has found them again! Amen! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you for finding me again~!

Well, gotta go, I have 3 essays waiting for me...sob sob..

Broken Dishes...

This is the 4th chapter from the book Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood that I'm currently studying for Literature. It's not exactly a very exciting book but it's somehow mysterious and sad which I kinda like. Don't get me wrong.. I'm not a pessimist or something it's just that I like stories with a lot of er..er.. 'heart felt'??

Broken dishes..what does that mean to you?? What can you associate it with?? For me, I can associate it with some parts of my life. I think at the sight of the word broken, it's enough to make one think of something depressing and sad. Nope, it's not like my life is broken or fragmented but there are some parts of me which is wounded and to certain extent..broken and without spirit. It's no big deal nor is it something very grave but for me it's some what broken and scarred.

Constantly there's always this depressing feeling mounting up within me. I can't explain it nor can I try to breakfree from it. Most of the people that knows me, knows that I'm a happy person and easy going as they would say and it's true..I am. But I guess even the happiest man alive will have his sad moments. "It's okay to be moody sometimes.." this is what Jane told me back in school. I remember it clearly..she was smiling at me and patted my back when she said it, that was very encouraging.

Maybe I'm just being a teenager, getting emo and depressed out of the blue. The feeling that I often get when I'm depressed is like my heart is so heavy, it's bleeding silently and there's so much burden across my chest. Like I could break down this moment and cry my eyes out. I tend to say I'm a simple person but I guess I'm so wrong about that. I think I'm one of the most complicated creature amongst my two best friends. There's just so much in my mind that I can think of as I let my thoughts walk aimlessly.

The simplest thing..I can view it and define it with the most long and complicated answer. It's not really a talent that I have..it's just being me. *sigh* I wish I can be simpler... here I go again contrasting my words..hahaha.. guess this is the Internal War within me. Well..as depressing as I may sound and as sad this post may seem...I'm good. Not going to commit suicide or try to go into a depression. It's just I needed a place, a refuge to express the uncertain emotions in me. Too bad bloggy..your all I have sometimes..

Cheer 2008~

Okay...I'm not exactly in to cheerleading but hey..MY SCHOOL WON!!!So I'm posting this in their honour! More power to Shirtliff!!! We the senoirs are so proud of our juniors who actually fought so hard to reclaim our title as Champions that we thought was long gone! Just when I thought.."SBU..ya we used to be known as the GREAT BBGS, smart girls and talented ones too. We used to come back with trophies like as if they were just another piece."

Then when some of the seniors took over including our own batch...we failed big time. All the spirit and fire just vanished from us. When I was in form 1 and 2..we were all so proud of our school, excited that we are from SBU and we carried with us more than a 100 years of legacy with us. Anyone would feel some pride, come on la..don't tell me you won't. Then when in came form 3 we started to feel less and less spirited, guess it's because we failed and we started to give up and we slack..

We still had faith, we wanted to believe we can make it better the next year but it blows in our face. Guess we all forgot to put our hearts at right place and focusing on having fun. But then again...I have to agree, out of the entire school..no one had as much spirit as the cheerleaders would. Yea..yea..they can be bitchy and childish and just plain annoying but they do make us proud every time they perform. It's not easy to smile and dance, jump around, cart-wheeling and getting tossed into the air all at the same time.

So here's a BIG THANK YOU to our cheerleaders! Thank you gals for restoring the faith and spirit we had lost!!! Though the teachers and even parents and even fellow school mates may doubt you gals, don't give up!!! Winning again this year will mean so much to all of you, seeing what has happened in school. This is good to prove that the doubt others gave you were totally wrong! Well once again..THANKS!! You gals have impacted the school and made us as seniors so proud that we'd smile everytime we hear Shirtliff or SBU..! Truly..thank you!

SHIRTLIFF RULEZ!!!SBU ROCKS!!! (the seniors rock too~!) =p

HIGHLIGHTS ~!

Okay..seeing as I'm pretty lazy to update these days and the fact that my work load is getting heavier, I shall just go on a series of highlights from now on..!

TAIWAN (June 18 - 24)
Yes..the line above says it all..I was in Taiwan just 2 weeks ago for my uncle's wedding dinner over there and well to have fun of course!

Events :-
1. Supposedly all of us(my family) would be leaving KL>Taiwan on the 20th but instead my darling brother, Ed suggested that me and him leave earlier to go to Taipei to have some fun without our parents and therefore we left on the 18th with my Godma and my two god-brothers.

2. We spent 3 days in Taipei before leaving for Kaohsiung. We went to Shi Ling Night Market to shop which is very famous in Taiwan. We had fun shopping and I got 6 shirts on the first night itself! (ex rate NT 10 = RM 1)

3. Second day, Judy (local tour guide and friend) brought us to certain tourist points and we enjoyed ourselves very much! We went to Song Mei Ling's Mansion (very BIG!), Jiu Fen (a peak) and finally Taipei 101!

4. Jiu Fen was famous for it's local food and desserts, so we ate from the front of the street all the way to the last stall of the street. (pictures in facebook..links at the bottom!) Then we went made our way back to Taipei 101 to enjoy the spectacular night view.

5. Taipei 101 is currently the tallest tower in the world and it has the fastest elevator in the world! The elevator travels at 1010 m/per hr! the funny part is KLCC follows the shapes of a 'jagung' and the Taipei 101 follows the shape of a bamboo..so what shape will they follow next??hmm...pineapple?papaya?banana?? *sweat*

6. Some facts for you..when I first visited Taiwan when I was 12 i fell sick on the very first day cause I was very tired from the trip in USA and the fact that food inTaiwan seems to disagree with my stomach so I had loads of fun going to the toilet every possible chance I get. So I hated the place but then..I ended up coming back to this place without encountering this problem until the second night...When I was in the tower I felt my stomach going cold and next thing I know I was running for the toilet! Ed and my two god-brothers had loads of fun teasing me bout "choosing to s*** in the tallest building in the world!" I was in too much pain too argue back..sigh*

7. I retired early that night after having eaten 8 different pills. X_x

8. Third day, we left for Kaohsiung (one of the state in the south) via the High Speed Rail Link. It only took 1 hr and 30 min. The train was at 282 km/h so it was as fast as the bullet train in Japan! N yes...my stomach had failed me again and so I needed the toilet again. Thank God there's a few on board! yes..yes...the 3 guys made fun of me again.."wah..yesterday was the tallest tower today was the fastest train in world..you do choose extreme palces to do it eh..?"

9. Reached Kaohsiung by late by 4 and checked-in to the hotel.Kaohsiung is not a very big town so everything is within reach by car about 10 to 15 min away, and I mean everything! Uncle Edwin (the groom, my uncle) brought us around and went for an 8 course meal! It's cheap! very cheap! INSANELY CHEAP!!! NT 490 which amounts to only RM 49!!!! whoa...~!

10. Shopping again on the same night then I followed my uncle and my new aunt to the airport (20 min away..) to pick up the rest of my family members that arrived from KL.

11. My mom and aunt started teasing me again about my weak stomach again (not like I can do anything about it..) HAizz...

12. Today (21st) is very crucial for all of us as the dinner is tonight and we have to get alot of things done before it. We ladies went to the saloon in the morning and by 4 we were back in the hotel getting ready for the dnner.

13. Since I was the bride's maid, I have to wear a long white gown for the bridal march then change into a more casual gown later on..(so maa-fan) Again..my heels were killing me but I had no choice.

14. Ed was forced to sing again and he even got two encores!!He was accompanied by a violinist who reminded me of my best friend, jia rong and a pianist. Everyone thought he was some M'sian professional singer..ish..perasan la..

15. Phew glad that's over..so we had the next day free to ourselves and we shopped and ate the entire day.

16. 23rd, Uncle Edwin and his wife's family prepared a small trip up to Alisan for us that day. We left the hotel at 7:30 and started the journey. (gosh~) Alisan is really very beautiful. The view is absolutely magnificent!!! It's a big park where people come to enjoy mother nature's serene beauty. It was very cooling and comfortable there. As you walk you feel this cozy feeling embracing you and making you feel light every step of the way ~

17. Aunt Yin Peng kept telling me sarcastically through out the tour " Yeay!This is the place I've always wanted to come...(then she pulls me closer and whispers) DON'T EVER ASK ME TO COME UP HERE AGAIN!!! She was so "thrilled" when Uncle Edwin told her what Alisan has " Neh got Trees ar...Wood ar..Grass ar..Plants ar.." hahahaha...couldn't blame her cause she prefers to shop more than anything when she travels.

18. After that, we head back to town for dinner then we went to Shin Jue Jiang Night Market to shop agian. My mom got me 4 pairs of shoes!!! YEAY! Then we went to eat again! niu lao da! We were all on beef- mania the whole time in Taiwan cause their beef here is so juicy and fresh compared to the ones in KL. Yummy!!

19. We only finished packing our bags at 2 something in the morning and we have to leave the next day at 11 something. We came with 8 bags in total but went back with 17 bags or so..HAHAHAHA! Uncle Edwin sent us off at the airport and there was a very touching scene that happened. All of us were exchanging hugs with our new relatives and there were tears as it was unavoidable.

20. Uncle Edwin's Wife, Annie has a father who is currently in the hospital and diagnosed with cancer. During the wedding dinner he was only able to attend for an hour or so before he was sent back to the hospital. Annie's mother was shaking our hands and telling us one by one to help her to look out for her daughter in the future when she comes to stay in M'sia. It brought tears to our eyes because we see a woman before us who just married her only child away and is facing the possible coming of his beloved husband's death. All of a sudden, we only stood there hugging each other with tears flowing down our cheeks.

Dear God, please help this family to over come such hard times and give them strength to carry on till tomorrow. Bless and keep them Lord. Amen!

Well...as sad as things are, we can only hope. Hope is all we're able to do now..


Sigh....I miss my new Aunt in Taiwan! Well anyway, my family reurned to M'sia while me, Ed, my mom and my godma and her sons went to Hong Kong for a visit before we head back to KL. So I'll update bout that later tonight...ciao!
