Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me; sway with me.

Ahh, the holidays have come... and is almost gone.. well, for me that is. Unlike the school kids, I only have a 1 week break. Actually it's 10 days. But I'm not counting the weekends, because I don't have class on weekends anyway. 

On the very first day of my much-needed break, (VERY-MUCH-NEEDED in fact, my homework pile was virtually growing) I went swimming with the boyfie :D We had been looking forward to it ever since his break began and needless to say, it was AWESOME :D Spent a couple of hours swimming and then a bit of camwhoring around the club (:-P) and then later golf...on the ps2 at my place :D haha. By the time boyfie left it was close to 9pm and time for me to pack... for my family trip to Ipoh the next day :D

 

 The pool :D

 

 LOL<3

Didn't do much on the first day in Ipoh, lazed around the house, went for sunset mass and then dinner in a restaurant at Kinta City. Left for Penang the next day, and stayed there until Tuesday. In Penang, we went to Queensbay Mall, and there was a Libresse roadshow. Got some free samples (Grandma says I get free samples everywhere I go xD) and I also had to do a catwalk with a Libresse advertistment sign. I won a mug, with my picture printed on it, for doing that xD hahaha. Now that's an epic experience.

My grandma is simply wonderful,

and that's where my portuguese roots come from :)

We also visited the Snake Temple in  Penang. There aren't many snakes there anymore though. Bought some souvenirs there too. My sister bought the cutest t-shirt, it says 'how to use the LAH', on the front with examples of sentences with -LAH at the back, haha.

Dad drove us all back again to Ipoh on Tuesday and we reached there in time for dinner. I wasn't hungry so I followed my grandma, Godma and uncle to the pasar malam (I love pasar malams that are huge and actually sell stuff and not just food, as I'm not really a foodie).  Thank heavens I haven't had dinner yet, Godma treated us to wantan mee at a hawker stall near the night market area after walking around.

I woke up really late the next day, and so couldn't accompany Grandma to the dentist. Spent the day roaming around Jusco in Kinta City then dinner at a seafood restaurant. Went to another pasar malam after that where I bought 3 highlighters (only RM 1 for a highlighter!) and 4 ball point pens that were really nice to write with (guess what, RM 1 for 4 pens!) We all had to sleep super early that night because we were all attending Ascension mass at 6.20 AM the next morning. I was actually planning to wear my jeans and tshirt and sleep so all I had to do the next morning was wash my face and brush my teeth and I would be all set to go, but no I didn't do that. Grandma and Godma were supporting my idea though, they know what a sleepyhead I am. Grandma literally dragged my feet out of bed this morning, after calling my name 3 times. Yea, she's that strong.

Had breakfast after church, and went to Tambun for some fruits and then walked around in Giant. Then went to the Old Andersonians' Club for banana leaf lunch :D Left Ipoh at around 2 pm and was back home by 4-ish. 

I still have 3 days left of my break, and what better way to spend it than tackling my ever-growing homework pile, because guess what, I haven't touched it yet :-p

And to my boyf, have fun in HK k? I mish you so terribly much now :D
