A tiring Merdeka weekend..

I saved a long post on my Sg trip but i think it's just way too crappy so I just scrap that post away and came up with this. However, Sg trip was great, visited NUS, NTU, seen some of their great stuffs, crashed at CY's place after splitting up with the group ( thx to him I had a great trip to Sg ), crashed at his club's steamboat ( met a bunch of cool n great ppl ), had supper with another group of his friends, met XinYu from Shanghai and she joined us touring around to lil India, went to some Japanese Festival ( sort of Bon Odori tat we have here ), met up with some exclassmates ( Chiet,Eeling,Shaun,QingZhuang ). It was great meeting up. I wish i could do that more often. Met up with the group on sun, went to botanical garden, caught in the rain, got back to malaysia at night, and reached back campus the next morning. Singapore was just fun.

Going back to M'sia

Last fri went over to penang to spend the merdeka weekend. Hmm. The merdeka spirit is just not really felt anymore. I guess it's not just me. Probably it's just not that big celebration this year. I went over to Png Island on fri evening and hanged out with Coat ( a thai exchange student ). He's flying of on the day after. So I hanged over with him, brought him around for early dinner, later had more dinner with his group of thai friends there in the main campus as a farewell dinner for him. At night Henry came over and we went for supper, crashed in with him in Bsuite. Sat morning we had breakfast before Henry left. I then sent Coat off at the airport later in the afternoon. I'll go visit him someday in Bangkok.

Agnes was suppose to reached in the evening but reached earlier than expected. Hang out at Eric's went Sakae for dinner and walk around Queensbay. Met up with her senior, Nini and CK at Kapitan and chatted till 1am. Stayed over at Nini's place.

Sun morning had breakfast at Greenlane and later went to Gurney plaza. Sales was all around. I can't believe it, I had a shopping spree again. 3shirts 2vests 5pairs of socks. Then went tesco shopped for some groceries to prepare sandwich for BBQ dinner that night. Had lots of food, stuffed for the night with fried bee hoon ( CK, Gwen ) our sandwich ( me, agn, ni, km, wy ) salad ( yc,serf ) drinks + accessories ( ky, st ) desert ( pp ), of course the chicken wings, sotong, potatoes etc ( eric, fm, wh, ivy, fong ). Everyone did their little bit and succesfully enjoyed the dinner. Later of course with that many ppl gathered together we went cc for 2rounds of dota. Went had a cup of tea before heading back to nini's. Reached back at 1am.

The whole gang

Mon was merdeka day. Happy Merdeka!! I hardly felt anything. I dun see much flag. I din't even heard the national song on that day. Woked up at 8, agnes' bus was suppose to be at 1030am. While having breakfast only she checked her tickets and found out that it was wrongly bought. It was on Tues ( the day after ). So yet another in Penang. Hanged around at home, on9 a bit, relaxed and rested, played with nini's niece. Such adorable and lovely. Went Sunshine to buy some stuffs and suppose to repair my about to tear of shoes but it cost like rm18 for the stiches. I wasn't willing to pay that amount of money and so i just bought Superglue and had the whole tube in it. rm3.50 and it did great holding my shoes together and got me safely back to campus. They had some icecream promotion there, everything was half priced. So we had a cone of 98% fat free icecream and a cup of 98% fat free yogurt ice blend. That was just so great and cost only rm3.10. I could just have more of that but was rather stuffed though. Head to queensbay for UP after dinner @kimgary. Nice food, great movie. The guys called up for another round of dota since we were still around. Reached back right at midnight.

isn't she lovely and adorable

Tues morning we woked up early, packed our stuff and waited for rapid to bring us to the bus station. To my surprise it just took us about 20mins to reach. Waited at the bus station till 10am then i had to head back to USM to take a shuttle back. And we both safely boarded the bus and headed back.

Next Mon's holiday again. I think for a few states , i'm not sure which but penang is one of them. So i'm considering of going home if there ain't much to do. *grins*

Gotta start kicking myself to start working before being kicked around.

Happy Merdeka Malaysia ( greetings from G hotel )
