6, 7 & 8 July 2007

Another weekend which I have been waiting for. It was a busy week for me even though most of the classes are canceled due to SPM workshop for form 5 students. My first week teaching EST. Still have to learn a lot for this subject. Love talking and chatting to the students for this class.

Before I left the school, it was scheduled earlier for me to give an usrah to the girls. It is my first time doing it. I choose a simple topic which I do think I need to let the girls know their priority in life. I am no ustazah, my Islamic knowledge is very basic so I talked to them as a sister, as a friend giving out advise. It turns out well.

I departured around 1.30pm because I need to stop at Temerloh RnR to pick up few things from my daddy. He was on the way home from Ipoh. Arrived at Temerloh 30 minutes earlier than my dad so I need to wait for him. It was my first time crossing over the other side of the highway, heheheheheh a good experience indeed. After picking up the stuffs, stayed with my daddy for awhile I started moving again. Around 5pm as I had passed the Genting Sempah Tunnel, I called Tenko to reconfirm our date. Since the first plan was to visit Jayce and Jayce is at China, Tenko had made other plans. So I need to make a new plan fast! I thought I wanna go to Midvalley to do a bit of shopping but I ended at PWTC at last.

I went straight up to level 4, met Yan talking to someone outside the hall and make my way to Ocean Elements booth. Since I did not plan for this visit, I just stayed at OE's booth. It was the first time I met Ipin and Rose. I waited till 7 pm and we (Halimi, Muzie, Rose and I) had our dinner at Stable Steak House, Kampung Baru. After dinner I made few rounds in KL city center than later went straight back home.

I was wide awake at 4am, one syndrome I have whenever I stayed home alone. It is not the fear but the emptiness I felt made me uncomfortable. Since I was wide awake, I decided to do a bit of spring cleaning. Starting from my wardrobe the later the rest of the house. While cleaning up, I watched TV3, few older programmes being replayed. I would like to share something from one of the programmes I watched.

It was at 8am when I realized I was late for a breakfast date with Davie. I took my bath and get ready as soon as possible, I was unlocking the door when I received Davie's call saying that I can take my own sweet time since she overslept after watching tennis the night before. The road condition was perfect so I arrived at Pandan Indah just about 30 minutes. Took Davie to the Cheras Veledrome for breakfast (wanna go somewhere else at first but the traffic at Loke Yew was terrible).

After breakfast with non stop chatting, we went to Jalan TAR to visit my tailor. Sending few materials bought from Padang. While I was driving, I received a call from Yan asking me if I am already at PWTC. I had earlier promised to come later in the afternoon because I wanna spend time with Davie. Since Halimi and Muzie will not be there in the morning, while Ipin needs to pick his wife from the hospital and Yan overslept I decided to make a quick stop at the tailor and then head straight to PWTC. Davie tagged along.

Staying about half an hour, Davie went home, she took the lrt even though I wanna send her home. Few minutes after I came back to the 4th level, Zul called and invited me for lunch. Syam and Erika were there too. Since Halimi had arrived to the booth, I asked Yan to join me for lunch, well he still owe me a lunch. We joined Zul, Syam and baby Erika at Garden Cafe. Erika who is with a fever started crying when she looked at Yan heheheheheh. Well lunch was ermmm ok, not to my liking but just ok.

We went back to PWTC where people had started to flood the place. Tenko and Matt were at the booth when I arrived. After changing hellos, they went to check out the booths there. Muzie arrived around 3pm from UPSI, looked tired but kept smiling and went straight to work. You are a superwoman laa sis. I took the chance that afternoon to mingle around with few fellow divers and friends which came to visit the expo. I did some surveying on few things I had in mind. I left around 6pm because I had few plans with my friends.

As I drove out from PWTC, I received an sms from Adah to join them for tea at Pelita Jalan Ampang. I called Suzie and she claims she is waiting at Pelita. When I arrived at Pelita, Suzie was no where to be seen. I called her back later to find out she was at Pelita Ampang Point heheheeheheh. I met Joe (Adah's new boyfriend) and had a bowl of sinful lamb soup. Never mind, I will be on diet from Monday. Last kopek.. hehhehehehehehe

I drove straight to Ampang in search of Suzie's new apartment, I received a call from Suzie asking me to fetch her at Win's house. It was ok at first and suddenly I made a wrong turn followed by another wrong turn and at last I end up at Taman Kosas heheheheheheheh... This is not my first time I was lost in the middle of Ampang. But frankly I enjoyed being lost, it is a good way to learn new roads and discover new places.

I arrived at Suzie's new apartment about 45 minutes after that. A new apartment in Ampang, after the three of us freshen up, we lay down in front of the TV. Well it was the first Saturday night when we hang out and do nothing. There is always a long agenda if there is any girls night out, and the earliest we head back home is 2 am. Actually, the three of us had been busy the whole day so everyone were tired. We watched TV and ate what ever possible from Suzie's kitchen (which is not much anyway). We received an sms from Fizzy asking us either wanna join them at Pelita Jalan Ampang about 2am and no one could move a muscle.

I woke up around 5am, doing nothing, staring at the empty ceiling until Adah woke up around 5.30am. She went to the toilet and suddenly I have this crazy idea, I ask Suzie to wake up and told both of them I wanna go for an early breakfast. Hehehehehehe this is the first time everyone woke up 5.30am on a girl's weekend out. I called Davie and she agrees to join us. We prayed and later went straight to Pandan Indah to pick Davie. We went to Mc Donald's in Pandan Indah, had our big breakfast and chat non-stop. It was a beautiful morning and I enjoyed it. It was around 9am when we head back home.

Adah and I sent Davie back home and went straight to Midvalley, I wanna buy something for Eusoffe's birthday. After searching high and low I ended not buying anything. I drove straight to PWTC for the last day of MIDE. Kamm joined us at Midvalley because she wanna visit MIDE. After she had made few rounds, both of us left the hall to have lunch at The Mall. We wanna go to Bukit Jalil for the National Band Competition.

We arrived at Bukit Jalil a bit late, well I was lucky not to drive there as the weather was not that good and the traffic was bad. The third band had start performing when I arrived at ex-STFian corner. 5 years in STF had made me love the band so much. I was never a band girl but the spirits is still there. I waited till STF performed and through out this process I had shouted, laughed and even screamed like a teenager. Well it made me feel much younger. I left Bukit Jalil after STF performance.

I arrived back at PWTC when it was already 6pm. Few booths had started packing as it will be closed at 7pm. I went around to say goodbye to my friends as I had planned to start my journey at 6.30pm. It was a superb weekend and I will be back for next year's MIDE. I arrived safely at Kuantan around 9.30pm. I was smiling all the way back. Thanks guys, I really enjoyed my weekend.

MIDE here I come...

This weekend is MIDE weekend. What is MIDE? It is Malaysian International Dive Expo. You can check it here to find the details. I had been waiting for this event since I first knew it. It has been marked in my organizer for this event since March. That is why when my name was up for a camping trip I had to say no to my boss hehehehhehehe. Well that is not the first time.

Why I wanna go to MIDE? I wanna check out few stuff, I am collecting dive equipments slowly. I wanna check out the dive packages offered, there will be participants from overseas too. The best part is I wanna meet my diver friends - the ones I knew and have met and the ones I knew and I haven't met hehehehehe.

Well besides MIDE, this visit is also dedicated to my girl friends. It has been quite some time since I last hang out with them. Another therapy session for me, I really need it since my next diving trip will be in another 2 weeks time. There is also The National Band Competition at Bukit Jalil Stadium where STF will be representing Johor. I am still thinking on joining my friends since I need to head home that evening.

Girls... here I come. I had shave my legs and ready to party!!

ps: I will not be online from tomorrow afternoon till Sunday. No worries, most of my friends online will be at MIDE too ;)

Therapeutical Weekend

I know that I have been complaining a lot about my stress level which is already reaching to one dangerous point so I decided to take a break. My friends had been talking about attending STFOGA AGM (STF Old Girls Association) on the 31st March so I decided to join them this time. I have a good excuse too, I need to drive back my dad's car which he left at KL.

I took a bus to KL. Arrived at Pekeliling Station around 5.00pm. Took another bus to my house. The traffic was terrible that day. I arrived home about 2 hours later. Pick up my dad's car keys and directly I drove to Midvalley Megamall. I picked up Tenko at Bangsar lrt station and had a nice sinful and fulfilling dinner at Kenny Roger's. I took Tenko to Midvalley Fotokem because she is looking for an PnS and underwater casing. Matt and her wanna try underwater photography. Later then we went to Jaya Jusco to buy something and since it was nearly 10.00pm we started moving. I sent her to Hajar's mother in law's house at Kelana Jaya. Tenko and her mother are going to Kota Kinabalu the next day.

I arrived home around 12pm. Settle the laundry, tidy up the house a bit and went to sleep with the tv set on. I woke up that morning, fold the laundry and then I went to Midvalley again. This time I wanna search for my stuffs since I don't have the opportunity to look for it the night before. It was still very early when I arrived, the stores were just opened. I went to Roxy, the store was on sale, I bought a bikini. I went to the Dive Shop next, bought some diving stuff and went straight to the exhibition hall. There was a travel fair held there. My friend, zul had a booth and I dropped by just to say hello. I suddenly realized that I was so hungry, went to the food court, got a bite and start shopping again.

After drained up my wallet and credit card, I went to Saloma Bistro for STFOGA AGM. Changed my clothes and helped out my friend at the counter. It was my first AGM, enjoyed every minute of it, meeting with my friends, my seniors (which I had never met), my juniors etc. It was raining when the meeting ended and we went straight to Quality Hotel, checked in and waited for my friend to arrive.

After cleaning up, pray etc, we went to Sogo for dinner. When everyone had arrived, we went to Sogo Redbox. We booked for three hours but ended singing for four hours. I enjoyed it so much, I ended with a sore throat. As we came out from Sogo, people had started lining up at the side of the road waiting for the street race. We continued talking till wee hour in the morning.

When we woke up, we decided to have lunch at Quality Hotel, dim sum buffet. I love dim sum so much and enjoyed every bite I took. After lunch, we checked out and I went straight to Zul's new house. Went back straight to my house, pick up few things and drove back home. It was quite sometime since I last drove alone and smiling all the way through. I had so much fun this weekend.
