Christmas cheer :)

Taken at the A Famosa Clubhouse :)

I'm back!! :) I spent a week in Melaka celebrating Xmas with my family, and it was tons of fun :) What better than soaking in all the laughter and smiles and being surrounded by cousins, aunties, and uncles you rarely see throughout the year :) and of course the cakes and cookies you can indulge in while visiting relatives, hehe.

This year is a bit different from last year. My dad, mum, sis and I spent 2 days and 1 night at the A Famosa Resort before heading to my grandma's house to celebrate Christmas. Since it was a short trip, we had to constantly rush from one place to another so that we could catch all the live performances. Like on the 2nd day, we rushed through the Animal World place to catch the elephant show, the bird shows and the ferry that would bring us to Monkey Island. The shows are only held twice a day, so you'd have to rush and be there on time if you wanna watch it, lol. And the next show would start (at another part of the animal park) when one show ends. It was nice though, the animals were cute and really talented. I mean, otters raising up the Jalur Gemilang flag and parrots saying 'Ni hao ma'? Awww :)

Here are some of the 200 + pics I took, just at A Famosa :)

First night : At Cowboy Town

outside Cowboy town. The fish swam in circles.

You have to pay rm 10 to ride the pony. It was cheaper to just take a picture, haha.




The Red Indian show. The fire breathers/eaters were awesome :)




After the show ended, there was
a fireworks display


JAIL? It's a bowling alley, hehe.

2nd day : at animal safari

Hehe :)

These two were simple adorable



The elephant show



Elephants can ride bikes too, you know?



Baby chicks! :) awwwww




This was painted by an elephant







the ducks were let out to swim after the bird show



on the ferry to Monkey Island



This is what you get at Monkey Island, mischievious monkeys XD

Christmas in Melaka was fun too :) It's sort of a family tradition to go back to Melaka for Christmas and we would stay in my grandma's house. There would be about 14 people in the same single storey house and the house has one bathroom so everyone would rush to use it, there's always the usual toilet war XD haha. And on Xmas day itself, the house was overcrowded because there were lotsa visitors to the house, haha. The more the merrier! :D And I absolutely love all my presents this year :) well, I love my presents every year, hehe.

the presents!



the mess, after opening the presents XD



celebrated my sister's belated bday too :)



went to church on christmas day



my family and I




St. Peter's church in Melaka, the oldest church in southeast asia.
I used to go to this church when I was little.

So, there you have it, my Christmas post for this year :)

Christmas isn't over yet, so you can still give me presents, hehe :)

Happy New Year :)

Of hotels, age and hair.

I attended two buffets in two different hotels this month. At the 1st buffet, this situation took place :
Lady : So what school are you in?
Me : SMK Sultan Abdul Samad
Lady : Oh, okay. You're in Form..?
Me : Six.
Lady : Really? *looks shocked*
Me : Er, yes.
Lady : But you look so young! I thought you were in Form 3!
Me : Heh. *awkward smile, continues eating*




And the 2nd buffet...

...is finally over *phew*
A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me out,
I couldn't have done it without any of you :)
Definitely a night to remember.


Thanks to Vi, too! She's been awful busy
organizing all this. Look, she's even busy when I'm
taking her picture at the hotel itself -.-

And, as a new start to next year, look what I did! :)

It doesn't even reach the collar.

*come find me to see the front view of it, LOL*

Christmas is coming! :)

Awesome :)

Awesome eh? The artist took hours to do it and it looks so real! :)

I want snow.

I haven't updated much since November :-s I shall start with prefect camp. Hmmm, prefect camp was on the 13th of November till the 15th. It was at Pines Resort in Fraser's. I went there last time when I was in Sri Aman, and that helped a bit for the treasure hunt on the last day. My group was the only 1 that managed to reach the clock tower in town! Hee, go Red Hot :) (that's our group name) On the first day there wasn't many activities, mostly indoor stuff and the Night Walk at night. We only got back to our dorms at around 1.30a.m. And that was when my back ache started.

Then the next day, we had lotsa outdoor activities. Archery, paint ball, marble game, spiderweb, etc. And survival. Maggi cooks in 2 minutes and we were given 20 minutes. We were even provided with a white block of solid fuel. But us being us, we decided to collect dried leaves instead and set that on fire. The fuel? We didn't use it. Soooo, after 20 minutes, we still had raw maggi, still in the packets. LOL. And later on we went jungle trekking. I had my first leech bite. The leech was the size of my pinky when we reached the end of the trail. Eww. After show time at night, we prepared the hall for the closing ceremony the next morning. We went back to the dorms at nearly 2 am. I slept like a log and Jacie said I slept through my alarm. My 'Obsessed' alarm tone must have irritated her quite a bit XD haha. Woke up at 6.

the bruise I got from archery :-s
the string from the bow hit my hand when I let it go. Nasty.

Had treasure hunt in the morning. Red Hot did well, I love my group :) We didn't get all the answers but it was fun :) After that was the closing ceremony. I was sooo nervous after the Show Time last night, my knees were shaking. Khairul and I had to emcee. And yes, I made a mistake. I said 'cenderamati' instead of 'cenderahati.' GOSH!:-S

Had lunch then it was time to leave. I was soooo tired and my back ached like mad. And I had school the next day!! Me and my perfect attendance obsession, hehe. Heyy, at least I made it through the year, and I achieved my perfect attendance goal! XD

So that was about camp. I shall leave you with some pictures of my trip to Ipoh last week :)

Two Zero One Two.

Okayy, so I finally went to watch 2012. Yay! I know, it was released in cinemas ages ago and many of you watched it already, maybe even multiple times. But still, the cinema was packed and tickets were sold out, we got our tickets from the ones that were booked earlier but no one came to collect them. Hehe. And the best part was, there was no one standing at the entrance when we wanted to go in. So, we just walked in! What's the point of tickets then? I was sooo tempted to go back out and sell the tickets we had, but then I didn't. (Oh, when I say 'we', I mean, me, Theera, Nick and Harman, lols)

The movie was great but really long. It lasted for 2 and a half hours.Kinda funny at certain scenes too, but then still scary in a way that makes you wonder when the the world is really gonna end. And some parts are touching and may make you cry. :( All in all, it was awesome :) Nick and I made a bet, he said the movie would last for 3 hours and I said 2 and a half.. heeee, I was right XD hehehehe

After the movie was bowling and pool. Atheera's score was unique, she had 5, 5, 12, 12, 13, 13,13, 22, then the rest I forgot. Cute. My final score was only ermm, 68, I think. Pool was terrible coz I'm really bad at it XD I hit the white ball in several times :-s Finally after that we had lunch!:D Oh, I also bought things this time. 'Coz usually I don't buy things when I go out, haha, I only window shop most of the time. I bought a new phone pouch coz my old one spoiled and a cute eraser set for my sister. The erasers are in food shapes, there's a burger, french fries, coke, ice cream and hot dog. So Cute. Hehe. :)

It was an awesome day :) Lets go watch New Moon! XD

Hey Theera, TAYLOR LAUTNER!!! XD

I will be back.
