My favourite Gundam - ZGMF - X10A Freedom, piloted by Kira Yamato was destroyed by ZGMF - X56S Impulse, piloted by Shin Asuka in episode 34 of Gundam Seed : Destiny. -sniff sniff-

Destiny Child will be resolved after their last concert in Vancouver on September 10 in order to pursue personal goals and individual careers in music, theater, television and film. This is so sad as I am an absolute crazy fan (Click here, here and here to read.) of Beyonce Knowles and Destiny Child. -sniff sniff-

Quoted from Destiny Child’s official website :

“Thanking their fans for years of love and support, Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams announced that they would be retiring as Destiny’s Child and moving forward to pursue personal goals and individual careers in music, theater, television and film.”

This is so sad. Really sad.

Finally, my university life has started today after a freaking long, 2 months of holiday. How was it? It was so-so only but it was nice to see all my course mates, juniors and seniors once again. Some grown fatter (I am one of them), some grown thinner, some changed their lifestyle, some got new boy/girl friend, some broke up and some remained unchanged. However, I am really glad to see them once again as we will be spending another 4 months together in MMU.

A quick view of my timetable :

Monday : 8AM-9, 10-11 and 4-5PM
Tuesday : 8AM-10, 4-7PM
Wednesday : 4-7PM
Thursday : 8AM-10, 1-2, 4-6PM

*There will be lab session on Monday 9-12PM, Tuesday 2-5PM and Friday 9-12PM.

3 days of 8AM classes, with nothing to do between 10AM to 4PM and all classes end at 7PM, this is a not very lousy timetable. However, at least, there are no Friday classes. I tried very hard to arrange so that there will be no Friday classes so that I can have a longer weekend. As in near future, I might be going to K.L. more often -cough- for some reasons -cough-, so a longer weekend means more fun. Besides, I can watch movies on Friday with discounted price, RM5 by showing them my student ID card. –grins-

It was raining heavily this morning. So nice to sleep but yet still have to crawl up to attend class. That sucks! 10AM class is tutorial class and there is no tutorial class on first week of every trimester. I went for the 4PM class but the lecturer “fong fei kei” and was unofficially cancelled. Gggrrr…

Anyway, welcome back, guys and girls.

P/S : I need to buy a new printer to print my notes. Money money money!

Waking Staying up until 10AM without any sleep just to wait for Ju’s call was one of the most torturous things I have ever done throughout my holidays. After nearly 8 hours of waiting and staring at the ceiling for nothing, we met up and had lunch together before starting our journey to Tampin and Water World at 1PM. After rushing back to my house to collect the tickets, we entered Water World at 2.30PM with elephants and parrots greeting them at the entrance.

I slightly briefed them and they were all set to go. Notice the word “they” instead of “us / we”? Yes, they were ready but not me. I did not join them as I have phobia with Water World. I worked there as a part timer during one of my holiday breaks. I still have a few grudges and unhappy encounters with the manager. I have visited Water World for the N-th time. Last but not least, there is nothing interesting and new to me already. Therefore, I was their camera man throughout the whole outing in Water World. Maybe I can earn pocket money by offering such service.

Therefore, I led them to “Family Raft”, “Tube Slides”, “High Speed Slides”, “Body Slides” and “Wave Pool”, skipping the “Arabian Village”, “Children Playground” and “Lazy River”. While they were enjoying themselves, I talked to the life guards there as I got to know them when I worked there. Surprisingly, a few of them still remember me. I took quite a lot of pictures with their cameras and I got drenched a few times, especially at the “High Speed Slides”.

At 6.30PM, they had enough of fun and it was time to leave. They bathed themselves and we were off to have something to eat before they head back to Malacca. I brought them to a restaurant in my housing estate and ordered food for them while I went off to prepare the supposed-to-be-a-surprise cake, presents and flowers, with the help of Chun Kit. You do not remember who is Chun Kit? He was the treasurer for our holiday trip, click here for his picture.

Ju’s birthday falls on the 10th of June, Friday. Therefore, I decided to celebrate her birthday by giving her a surprise. But then, shit happened and there was no surprise. I bought the 2 stalks of roses from Jaya Jusco when I was in Malacca while Chun Kit bought the cake from Baker’s Cottage at the same time when we were in Water World. Since I do not know what Ju wanted and I only remembered that she said a bar of chocolate would do as a gift when we meet up, I got her “half” home made chocolates. How did the chocolates look like? May be you can check it out after Ju blogged about her trip AND she is kind enough to upload a photo of the present.

Therefore, at the restaurant, Chun Kit sent the cake over and I collected the flowers from my car. I took the cake, the flowers and the present and gave them to Ju, wishing her “Happy Birthday” at the same time. -blush blush- Ju’s facial expression was emotionless! Really! –sweat- She was like Pinocchio the wooden puppet, errmm…well, you get the idea. Maybe I was wrong too as I, myself was too, very anxious and shy indeed, heart pumping at a very fast pace, blood rushing to my brains and my palms were sweating a lot. Anyway, it went on well enough to avoid any disaster. We had our pre-dinner and celebrated Ju’s birthday after that.

Typical birthday agenda – Sing the “Happy Birthday” song in at least 2 different languages, birthday girl / guy makes a wish, blows the candle(s), cuts the cakes and everybody gets a piece of the cake. Chun Kit got her a cappuccino cake, which tasted very good except that it would taste better if it was chilled properly before being served.

After that, it was time to bid farewell as they need to rush back to Malacca and I could not join them anymore.

“Bye, Jason. It was nice meeting you in person.” *while hand shaking*

That was the last sentence said by Ju before we bid farewell with each other, and of course, with other friends as well. Their trip to Water World / Tampin has ended, but mine has just started for I had another birthday party to attend at 11PM. Venue was Gadek’s natural hot water spring followed by another round of “Char Kuey Teow” and “Satay” for supper.

P/S : She looks more beautiful in person. -grins-

After failing to meet up with Juliana in 3 attempts, we finally managed to meet up last Tuesday (7/6/05) when she was in Malacca for a holiday trip with her friends. I was extremely nervous as it was the first time meeting Juliana in person. To make things worse, there were another 10 to 12 persons whom I did not know as well. I have problem talking to my own friends already, what more a big group of strangers?! I had at least one dozen of butterflies in my stomach.

Juliana and her friends arrived at Malacca at noon time and they were going to have the famous Hainanese’s chicken rice ball for lunch at Jonker Street. They went to the place (The hustler mentioned about this shop in this post.) with their Malacca’s friends, whom would be their tour guide in Malacca as well. Supposedly, I would meet Juliana in the shop and have lunch with her and their friends. However, I got freaked out as the pressure of meeting 12 persons was tremendous and they were already waiting for their orders to come. I decided to abandon the idea of meeting Juliana. Her back was facing the main road and was sitting at the corner of the table. I saw them while I was waiting and observing from my auntie’s office. Since I freaked out, I went to Mahkota Parade to catch 2 movies – “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Mahjong” while waiting for the time to meet with Juliana during dinner time. (In my opinion, it was better than “Shark Tales” but on par with “Finding Nemo”. However, I think I should stop watching animation movies in the cinema, but “Kung Fu Mahjong” was definitely worth the money. I bought the tickets at RM5 per movie by showing them my student ID card.)

After spending 5 hours in Mahkota alone, kicking at least 4 people’s asses in the arcade game of “King Of Fighters”, Juliana and her friends have finally decided to have “Satay Celup” for dinner. Their tour guide suggested Capitol’s Satay Celup instead of Ban Lee Siang’s Satay Celup. “No! Not Capitol’s!” I said to Juliana, but she could not do anything also as it was not her who made the decision. Anyway, I reached there first and was surprised to see my senior – Mark and his girl friend there. After chatting a little bit, I realized that he was part of the group that Juliana and her friends joined with. That made me felt less nervous, at least, I did know ONE guy from their group. The world sure is small, very small indeed. We sat down while waiting for another group of friends who were still looking for parking.

After bout 5 minutes, then came the other group, so did Juliana.

“Hai, Jason.”

That was the first sentence when Juliana saw me and I was so freaked out shy that I only shook her hands to greet her. After we sat down, she introduced her friends to me – Ya Ling, Irene, YM (Not Yahoo! Messenger.), Tarzan (Hmm…), Kampai (Not the alcoholic drink.), and 2 more, whom I have forgotten their name. We did not talk much throughout the “celup” session, as I was really shy, brain dead and tongue tied. It was quite a funny sight and also slightly embarrassing situation. Thanks to Mark who talked to Juliana, else she would be bored to death by just sitting next to me.

After that, Ah Wee (the tour guide) suggested to go Wings, a café which is similar to K.L.’s Halo Café after having a walk at one of Malacca’s hot spots for lovers. Since I could not mix well with Juliana and her friends yet, I decided to skip it and meet them again in Wings after that. However, shit happened and I ended up going back home instead. Do not ask. It was alright as I would be meeting them again tomorrow as I would be bringing them to A Famosa’s Water World.

P/S :

No pictures yet as I did not bring my camera along that night.

For your information, Ban Lee Siang is Papi’s and my favourite place to eat “Satay Celup”. I am going to blog about this one day – “Why Ban Lee Siang is better than Capitol.”

I will be in Malacca for a few days as I have few stuffs to do for these few days. I will be back by this weekend with a few pictures and stories. Hopefully.

By the way, I just realized that my university will start next Monday (13/6) instead of the following Monday (19/6) after being told my housemate - Raymond. I actually remembered the wrong date. -sweats and shakes head- Today is also my university’s new students’ registration day. I wonder who are Auntie Lillian’s relatives as mentioned in one of her post before. Sad to say, until now, there are still no pretty girls and handsome guys yet.

Today, 6th of June is also a day for Adeline and me to remember. Love ya!

By the way, I have met up with Milly. Although did not talk much, but I got to know a new friend.

Currently alone at home, it is getting bored and I am starting to think nonsense.
