Recom gathering in Sunway Pyramid...

Yesterday (19/1),after having breakfast, Lester, Jonathan and I took taxi to Sunway Pyramid..

We should meet some INTEC guys there .. We reached there at around 10.30am. Those INTEC guys still had not arrived yet. While waiting for them, we went to Popular bookstore..

They arrived!!! They asked us to meet them in front of Dunkin' Donuts. After searching for a while, we found them.. Maxx, Bryan, Wen Sum,Ji Yi and her coursemate were there.. Huhu, I found that Maxx was quite tall , while Weng Sum was quite 'small-sized'...(No personal attack..)

We had our lunch in KFC restaurant.. Actually, i didn't feel well having meal in front of people i didn't really know well and much..The situation was very embarrassing ( 尴尬) and weird..It was like we already knew each other in the forum or Friendster..We didn't have much thing to talk about.. This only happened to me , didn't know why.. Lester still had something to chat with them, so as Jonathan.. May be I should improve myself..



After the embarrassing lunch, ice skating session started. I have never skated before.. I was the first timer in ice skating, same as Lester and Jonathan..We ice skated for 5 hours...I saw the girls still couldn't ice skated without holding the boundary..Maybe they were scared..so there was a good opportunity for a boy to guide her by holding her hand, skating around.. I was quite jealous as Maxx, Weng Sum, and Bryan would have such a chance to do so... I wished i could do that to other girls, but I must be very good at ice skating at first..

After that, we went to watch this movie:



I supposed this was the worst movie of the year.. We all paid RM 11 each to watch this 'video clip' .The whole movie was shot using a video camera.. The quality of the video was really terrible..

I met my former classmate, Hon Kit and his INTEC friends.We (all boys)(Girls wanted to keep fit) had our dinner in Kim Gary. While waiting for food, those INTEC boys really crapped a lot. We couldn't stop laughing...

We took taxi back to 1 Utama and reached there at 10..

ARGH, my legs were really exhausted...

Penang trip + IELTS result released + Learn Driving..

On 27/12 , after studying undang- undang for the whole night, I sat for the test . The registration process took me quite a long time.. I managed to finish the test in 11 minutes (the test duration was 45 minutes) and didn't even checked the answers. (I was too lazy) Hooray, I passed the exam, wrong 4 questions only..

Then, I went to my school to certify documents. When I reached my beloved school, I just realized that PMR results were released that time.. I heard that our school 8 As scorers (81) had broken the school previous record. Walao.. (At night, when i read newspapers, I found that Penang schools did better.. Jit Sin 8As 209 people, Penang Girl's school 201 people.. ) The students' quality became higher or tests became easier? Haha

At noon, Nam Khoon ,Lee chon and I went to Penang. Nam Khoon wanted to take back his laptop . Sin Jie (Nam Khoon's friend ) came to fetch us from jetty. He drove us to the HP Service Center (near Bkt. Jambul).After that, Nam Khoon realized that his laptop adaptor was lost.....(REMINDER: don't buy COMPAQ ). After having our tea break in a hawker center , we went to Prangin Mall. Around 8, we took the ferry back to Butterworth. We had dinner at mamak stall near jetty..

*Tired*

----------------------------------------------

28/12

This day was quite a special day... 13 calendar days from my IELTS test. My dad asked me to call KBU to ask about the results. I called KBU twice, one was lunch break, and 1 asked me to call tomorrow.My dad and I felt so fed up. I asked my dad to call. After a long wait, my dad called me. Unbelievable,I got band 7..

wow...This was really an unexpected result...

At night, we went to The Sense (a cafe) to 'celebrate'..I tried mocha for the first time, it was too sweet for me...

---------------------------------------------

29/12 + 30/12

I went to attend the D class theory class. Damn damn boring. I almost fell asleep there..

On 30/12, I sat for the practical test. It was the first time to drive...A bit nervous. Most people told me that newbie would feel scared on the road, but I didn't think so..

I only managed to learn parking (3 poins turn and daki bukit will be leant next year...)

That 's all..

Village Mall + Sunway Carnival Mall

Village mall is the newest shopping mall in SP.So, I must pay a visit there..



One day, my family and I had our dinner there . While waiting for food, I walked around the whole mall. What a disappointment, this building only had 3 floors. The shops there were also never heard before..The only historical thing was there was Starbuck here,which was the first in SP..

The only surprise was I met my previous schoolmates. They were Choong Ghiap (now in Sin Min Form 6) and Chi Hau (future doctor)

From the conversation we had, I just knew that my secondary school's principal was Mr Png( my school former PK, he was transfered to Chio Min for 1 year) .Our school just won another award (before this, my school won Anugerah Sekolah Harapan)

Choong Ghiap will be going to Taiwan next year under a scholarship. He will become Namewee 's schoolmate soon..


oops, I forgot about my dinner...


---------------------------
On the next day, we went to visit Sunway Carnival Mall.



We watched 投名状 there.



I personally liked the role of Jet Li...

Before going back home, we had our dinner in Megamall ..

Genting + Bkt. Bintang trip

Early in the morning, we departed from 1 Utama to Genting by bus. It cost us only RM 8.50 per person(including Skyway -one trip) ..Huhu..

After 1 hour, we reached Skyway. We rode cable car to the Genting Highland. We then reached Highland Hotel. En route to First World Hotel, we visited gallery of Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong.

We then reached First World Hotel. We had our lunch in Marrybrown because this was the cheapest food could be found around there.

We went to walk around the plaza.







After that, we went to Cultural Village at the top floor of First World Hotel, nothing there, so disappointed that there were only shops that sold 'la-la' things..

Before leaving Genting Highlands at 4, we went to enjoy the fresh, cool air outside..We bought some junk food before departing to Jalan Imbi.

We all took a nap on the bus. Around 6,we arrived at Times Square. After taking photos and walking around , we went to Low Yat Plaza to have our dinner.


After dining , we walked to Jalan Alor, which was situated 2 streets in front of BB Plaza. I managed to buy dried meat (肉干) back home..

We went to visit Pavilion after that.There was a big white christmas tree. We could see that some children were singing Christmas songs on the tree .




Before going back, we went to Starhill.There was also a choir there singing christmas songs..



I found the items sold here were extremely expensive. For example, the original LV handbag cost more than RM 10000..

*sweat*

After IELTS..

On the day we finished our test, we went to have 'steamboat'in a shop near Sunway Pyramid. We departed at around 5. Actually. this occasion was held to celebrate the finish of our test, and also to hold a farewell party for Kai Xiang, Yun Huan and Min jie, who were going back on the next morning.




We can eat as much as we could , but we will be required to pay for the fine if we took too much food that we couldn't finish all of it. The only interestingf scene i saw here was when the roasted chicken wings was being served, all the people there seemed like fighting for them. The sound of the could be heard..

Before leaving ,Perng Yih gave Min Jie her birthday present ( her birthday fell on 31/12, had to give early)

After that, we went to Sunway Pyramid to 'loiter'.




Suddenly , I heard a bell ringing. Oh, Giordano was offering 45 % storewide discount . That's why there were so many people there busy choosing clothes.. Some of my friends bought T-shirts there . We went back by taxi. Damn expensive , RM 17, because it was around 11 already..


------------------------------------------------------------------

On 17/12, we (Choon Seong,Perng Yih, Ah Voo and I ) went to visit Mid Valley Megamall and The Garden. We took 2 taxis to reach Mid Valley (lazy to wait for buses). We bought a lot of of biscuits here. We snapped a lot of photos too. Examples:

Mid Valley:




The Garden:






We went to LEGO shop.









We then went to Pudu bus station to buy tickets back to Sg. Petani. Damn it, most of the tickets were sold out. We had to buy the Friday ticket..

After that, we walked to Low Yat Plaza to have dinner. We found that the food here were not so expensive as expected. After dinner, Perng Yih went to buy speakers + base and RAM (DDR).

Before going back, we went to Sg. Wang Plaza to walk around. We heard the ringing sound again.. Haha Giordano again.. My friend went to buy some clothes there..

En route to monorail station, we saw one mat salleh performing using musical instrument made by himself.

December= birthday month + Christmas preparation of shopping malls

This month is really a lovely month.Why I say so ? I have quite a lot of friends here whose birthday fall on this month, eg: Lai Kean(4/12), Yun Huan(10/12), Shu Wei(12/12), Min Jie(31/12) ....

Back to 4/12, we (almost all chinese boys) celebrated Lai Kean's birthday in the Wong Kok Char Chan Teng.We had a great dinner ( + 1 supreme size 奶茶 )and snapped quite a lot of photos..





Ok, let's turn to Yun Huan's birthday. All girls and 3 boys (including me) went to have lunch in Vietnam Kitchen in 1 Utama. This time, chinese 's bad habit was shown again--No punctuality. We boys reached there at 2, those girls reached there at 3.. We waited for the food to be served for another 1 hour , while all the girls were already eating.. The food was actually quite delicious and not too expensive, just that the amount was little. Ah, before I forgot , I remembered that somebody wore beautifully for the first time, long-sleeved blouse.. Unbelievable..

After singing birthday song and eating birthday cake, we took a photo



Now, Shu Wei's turn.. His birthday was celebrated in Secret Recipe, 1 Utama (again!!). The meal I ordered (BBQ chicken rice ) was not so tasty as I expected. We then ordered a marble cheese cake as the birthday cake for Shu Wei. They even wrote German on top of the cake..





This month is also very Christmassy

I can see that most of the well known shopping malls has set up the Christmas trees and its decoration..

Sg. Wang Plaza



Ikano Power Centre



The Curve


Sunway Pyramid



Centre Point


Mid Valley


The Garden



Genting First World



Times Square


The Pavilion



Starhill Gallery





Save the best for the last

Before test - Pavilion, Eye on Malaysia

Finally, my actual IELTS test was over.. sigh..

*flash back*

Back to 1/12, I went to Low Yat Plaza to buy some blank DVDs. I managed to visit Pavilion as well, since I had never been there before and it was situated within walking distance (15 minutes for me) from the Bkt. Bintang monorail station. I met my family there too.






The plan of this mall looked like a wide-opened-V, which was quite weird, in my opinion. It was much more smaller than my familiar 1 Utama..

On my way back, I saw Starhill Gallery on my left hand side. As I was quite rushed, I didn't manage to enter the mall, but had time to snap the photo of the entrance..



* This photo was taken 'illegally' because the security guard there told me that taking photo was prohibited..( Copyright problem)

Before going back to student house, I had my dinner with my family in Secret Recipe in The Mall which was just located beneath Legend hotel..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the next day, we (my friends and I) went to the Eye on Malaysia in the evening. I planned to meet my friend, Lee Chon, who was studying in UTP and enjoying his holiday there..

After having dinner in KL Sentral food court ( I disliked the food there ), we departed to Titiwangsa by riding monorail.

When we reached the station, my friends' ticket had some problem that they couldn't go through the gate. They found that the lady working in the KL Sentral monorail had given them the wrong ticket.. (Luckily, I used 'Touch n Go', hihi)

We then took taxis to the Eye on Malaysia. Actually , it was quite near to the monorail station (30 minutes walking distance).

Actually , I felt quite disappointed finding that there was only a Ferris wheel (the only thing) there beside a lake (Tasik Titiwangsa).

While waiting for Lee Chon, we snapped some photos (actually quite a lot)






Finally, Lee Chon reached there. We then queued up to ride the Ferris wheel..




We planned to rent a private gondola as it would be more convenient for us, no stranger.. and cheaper (There were 8 people there, 1 adult RM 15 ,1 private gondola RM 100, calculate yourself, haha ). We snapped some photos inside the gondola




After that, some video clips about Malaysia were shown on the fountains using laser.It looked quite nice..



We took the photo of everyone before leaving Eye on Malaysia.




On the way back, we saw Istana Budaya..
