September Babies

HAN SIAN

YEE YIN

So, these were the 3 birthdays we celebrated over a few days:) An italian dinner and a spanish dinner.. hmmm yum yum (now i'm thinking about food again)...:)

After the dinners we really "celebrated" the birthdays. However, on KX and YY's birthday, it seemed like it was Raymonds birthday..... he got a little tipsy.. twas so funny.....heeeheh

He was all light and giggly:) and wobbly.. so, went i took him up the stairs.. to the loo.. (... the guys took him in .. i just helped him up and down the stairs)... well on the way down, he fell.. and i tripped as well coz of that and we both ended up on the stairs...lol

and of all the things to do... he didn't get up... he lurched up.. heehe going straight for the beer kegs (empty thank goodness) arranged at the corner of the stairs.. (who does that?)

causing one of em to roll off and knock me in the leg.. "ouch!@!@" lol..

He continued to entertain us.. and be frightened by the bouncer...

It was a really really good night at Relish... one of the best nights out i think:) very chilled

later on when we were catching taxi home.. it was practically impossible to get one. so i called a company and got a van like thing coz there were quite a few of us. Just as i get the cab and am on the phone with the company... we loose one of them. Dissappered without a word... Eventually, we found out that he went back to Relish and begged the bouncer to let him pee.. hahaa.. (wasn't Ray)

how cute????

After all that we came back to Squires court for some indo mee.. telur and sausages..

How Malaysian~!~!~!

Medics Pyjama Party~!

hi hi hi people so i'm back. Yeah, haven't blogged in a while... that just means i've been too busy having fun to write about the fun i've had... *wink*
So, all in our pj"s and fluff fluff we headed out by taxi (oh goodness no way was i gonna be sitting in the tram~!~!~!) and found ourselves at Tribeca. The city was flooded by pyjama hotties
lol!@!@!@
So, it was a good night. Team Malaysia met up with our old PBL buddies.. Adam and Andy... Adam was just too beautiful for words...
Enjoy:-

Adam, Andy and I

Me and my "little Miss NaughTy"... (looks closely at her shirt:))

Just back. The last couple of days have been a real whirlwind for me. Monday was classes and followed by a "thrilling" time to stand in a queue at uni and a night of cooking....

After a late night.. and another late night and the late late night of Han Sian's birthday. . . Tribeca it was~!~!~! not too bad a night for a weekday pubbin'.. followed by Rheumatology bedside teaching today.. . exhausted...

I can't be wearing my shorts and vests kinda pj's out in the UK can i now? so, after a vege'licious Katsouri lunch.. spent the afternoon in La Senza~!~! choice was pretty limited but was not bothered to go searching...

funny thing happened...

the sales person and the security guard started talking to me ... since i was taking like ages to decide

Him: hmmm... you really want pretty pyjamas don't you?

Me: no no no, it's for a pub crawl *gosh embarrased*

Him: i c i c. Why not u get that one? I just got it for my girlfriend (pointing at this cutesy wutesy purply.. light purple one with eeyore on it)...

Me: hmmm, maybe (in my head- no way am i going cutey cutey.. can't pull it off.. added to that purple.. i'd never hear the end of that from raymond~!~!~!)

haahaha..

well, feeling damn LOYA now.. nauseouS AFTER THE Tram ride home.

My Malaysian Day

had a nice day today... stumbled into one of the most famous batik places in Malaysia. Ramlee Malik Batik. From what i heard, he was a teacher in Pahang and he did batik work. He was extremely talented and did great batik designs.

I met his family today... they were very very kind and pleasant. It was wonderful to meet them and have a look at all the batik available at their place. Many tourists who come to Club Med in Cherating come by there to buy batik. They allowed me to choose my own designs and had some small batik scarves made on Indian cotton. Then they let me pick the colours and everything.

Pasar malam adventure later in the evening. I went on my own... sob sob.. Mom was busy, sis in KL and my father was golfing. I'm so proud of him... he won a tournament yesterday. He played 7 under~!!!!! Soon he will be back in the A medal group and back to being a single handicapper. For those of u who know golf.. at a Par 5, he was 2 on and the put for eagle was 10 feet. He missed he hole by 6 inches~!!!
not bad huh??

got some news about the juniors coming to Manc... heard they're all going to Preston. Sob Sob... well, there are just gonna be about 10 of us in Hope now....

MISS MALAYSIA-INDIA FINALIST

My sister... is a MISS MALAYSIA-INDIA FINALIST!!!! lol.. surprised huh? her friends put her name in or something and she gave it a shot and now is a finalist... wooohoo.. She will be appearing on Astro on the 17th of September... watch out for her... so proud of her... She just graduated this year... she's a lawyer... Beauty and brains..

My mummy is gonna be coaching her with her singing and dancing.. yeap.. my mom is really talented with music. Both my mom and sis are very musically inclined.. My father and i ... hhaha... we're.. out musical talents are seriously questionable..

My relationship with my sister are still on rocky grounds.. working on it. We are just really really different in terms of our character:) but we love each other... one minute and fight like crazy women the next.. haaha.. kinda doesn't allow us to open up about our lives to each other...
heehe..
here's a picture of my sis while she was in UK.. last year:)

Try watching it~!

Redang.

Well, i went to Redang with my lovely parents.. it was so nice.. It gave me a good opportunity to spend some time with them and relax away from our normally busy lives. *surrounded by cute fishies*.. They saw a picture's worth a thousand words - KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT@!@!@!
the pictures are funny and i look like a drowning moron... but.. yeah.. keep laughing. There's one photo i never bought... it is never to be seen and i hope the underwater guys deleted it.

yes... more laughter.. hahaha... the photographer asked me to do that... i don't "act cute".. just not me.

My KL-Mini-break

yeap, i finally went to KL... yeap.. for what was to be my eating partying fiasco and not to forget catching up with old friends. was a nice time...
even made it to seremban.... being the moron i am, i didn't have the phone number of anyone in seremban... so i just met who i bumped into and was in trouble when i was caught red handed making my escape to kl by Chai Jiun... haaha.. yeap, i never got a chance to see her and i was going back to KL.
But it was wonderful that i saw her .. we had lunch in a place i'm sure Serembanians would know about but trust me i had never heard off in my life... Yee Poh??? haaha.. yeah.. sashi, chai jiun and ka seng led us to Yee Poh... haaha..
this is really embarassing to admit.. i went to Aquaria in KLCC~! i know i know.. why??? haaha... twas fun anyway... adorable MONKEY in aquaria and massive amazon fish.
As with any trip of mine to KL, not to be forgotten is the KL nightlife... Zouk it was this time... (some may say.. again??? why why?) ... a good night... great company (Lena, cming, grace, keith, sandev, johnny, and more)... i even ran into one of my other Malaysian-Mancunian friends there.. what a freakin' small world.
twas a nice couple of days. I accomplished what i wanted. Ate all i could. I think this will be enough to last me until my next trip to Malaysia.

Rawang, Penang, KL

Every year my family visits two particular churches. One is St. Jude's in Rawang and the other is St. Anne's in Penang. As usual, we went about our trips again this year... St. Anne's had been renovated so so so much. This time they had the life- size stations of the cross~!~! I got some pics.. will put up later.. malas to wait for this thing to load...

then of course we went back to KL.. the sale has started~!@~!~!~! excitement.. weeeeeee
i ran about all over midvalley and did not find anything i liked... besides my MAC Brush Cleanser... lol... darn.... how boring..
nothing just caught my eye

i thought when i was back i'd go crazy for the shoes... cheap shoes weeeeeeeeeee but it didn't seem that way... maybe my taste has changed.. i found myself looking for shoes and not sandals as i used to... whatever it is i better buy a ton of pairs and head back...

I'm COMING TO KL NEXT WEEK... on my own.. .lol.. to shop
eat
and be merry (you know what i mean*wink*)

PLan to go up on Tuesday.. and embark on my mission to eat ... nasi lemak under the trees... 50 sen , 60 sen all u can eat kinda nasi lemak... then, klang's bah ku teh (i wonder if the bowl of fat and insides are gonna be ordered again.. ick), seri kembangan's banana leaf..... ( my threshold for spicy food has gone down i think.. i had banana leaf rice at Nirwana in Bangsar.. and i couldn't take it.. wow... WHAT JACKET POTATOES HAVE DONE TO ME.. NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo... i'm trying to recall where else i'd like to eat...
oh yeah.. the char siew in KL.. behind Kim Zhuan's apartment or something...
cendol in SS15...

i know i keep repeating about all this food but ... but ... but.. u have no idea how long i have dreamed about it... i about a month i'm back to JACkEt Potato WonderlAnd so.. hah~!~!

Note/: i 'm getting chubby.. i think it's due to sleeping after eating... sobs sobs.. i'll lose it.. yes i will..

BD 891, MH001, MH1292

My three flights that brought me back home...
It started out in Manchester, all us Malaysians flying via MAS to Malaysia have to take a BMI flight. Mine, got cancelled~!~!~!~! I was upgraded to BRITISH AIRWAYS~!~!
Bags too heavy, i had to take out 4 kg's~!~!~! shoved some of it into my computer bag and managed to keep most of it.. at least the important stuff...
I checked my luggage straight to Kuantan.. Imagine the BRITISH AIRWAYS ppl trying to understand KUAntan~!~! they had to make calls to get things in order.. haahah a*giggle*
Next thing i knew i was in LOnDon... a long walk and a bus ride landed me in terminal 3 of Heathrow... ooooh.. big duty free area.. so i started my shopping weeeeeeeeeee.....
once i was tired of it, i went to see if my gate had opened.. i had like 5 hours.. my flight was at 10pm.. hmm.. bored.... Well, in my great anxiety, i was standing around waiting for the board.. the worst thing that could happen would be missing my London-KL flight...
my shoulder was killing me.. heavy ass computer bag stuffed~!~!~! handbag... grrr.. and duty free purchases...
okie..
suddenly a bunch of indian auties in sarees came up to me speaking in hindi asking me if i was flying to india
Me:"NOoooo, MALAYSIA"...
i noticed there was a flight to MUMBAi at gate 17... the gate was closing... they rushed off anyway...
as soon as malaysia showed gate 18.. i dragged my baggies.. and went off to my gate... as i was making my helluva lot of noise on the horizontal escalator due to my bag's wheel...
"roll grrrrrrrrr..rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.rrrrrrrrrr rolling*
fine, i noticed i tall man in front of me.. people seemed to be treating him like a celebrity.
there was an airline officer guiding him and all sorts of people trying to come up to him or what ever...well, hmm.. i didn't know who he was.. just a tall north indian man.. sorta familiar.. but what do i know.. so i continued rolling along.. the noise from my bag probably made him turn around and give me way...hahahhaah *embarassing*
Then, he asked me if i was late... then i said "no, i am just very panicky".. haaha...
then he asked where i was flying to.. and stuff.
then he asked my name.. so i said "Charlene, and you?"
He answered Jackie... (i still blur) then he said Shroff...
ooooh... i realized he was a hindi movie actor.. uh-oh what an insult.. shit.. i asked his name..lol...
then, i gave him a nice excited reaction and asked for an autograph...
he asked me for my number *wierd~!~!* he's like 50~!@ and then, i didn't really give, and he gave me his number... hmmm... (i never called i was just too happy to be back in Malaysia)....~~!~!
then i ran off to my gate and he went to his..
lol...
i'm so "duh"
then again most of u reading this will also not know anything hahahahha.. we're in the same boat... i know nothing about hindi movies...
but i did google him and get a picture...
he's the one on the left.... hahaha. the right is shah rukh khan.. did i spell that right?


hahhaha need to expand knowledge.. bodoh dy...

Finally i boarded my plane to Malaysia.. after more than 11 hours, i was in KLIA... i was seriously grinning all the way.. it's such a nice feeling...
Then, i found my Malaysian ATM.. *evil grin*
cleaned it out in duty freee
weee... hehe.. my father did not seeem to happy about it...
but.. i had a 7 hour transit..
and.. and.. and..
lol
then.... i sat in KFC by myself.. so lonely,... In KLIA... ahh.. foood good.. but i hate eating alone.. i feel like a loner..... i had my Glamour with me though... the "dining out alone accesories"

then, at midnight.. i was on my way to kuantan~!~!~!...
imagine.. all the way no one korek my bag
in Kuantan airport, customs make me open my bag.. and they check, thank goodness my bra's were kept separately in something.. the guy put his grubby paws on my clothes.. arrrgh...
good thing he didn't check my second bag.. full of wrapped glass... all football team souveniers....
then .. after all that.. i was home... so tired... slept 12 hours straight..
still wierd sleeping.. i wake up at 3 am for dinner.. haaha.. uk dinner.. lapar like anything.....
waiting to get adjusted.. heheheh

My surprise birthday Party... awwwww...

Well, firstly i'm very touched to all of you who came to celebrate my birthday 3 weeks in advance:)
This blog is pretty last... the celebration was more than a week ago.... sorry i took so long to get around to doing it..

I turn 22 this year. And with every birthday, i never get to celebrate it with friends because my birthday is on the 21st of July. Which means it the holidays and everyone is back home including me being back in Kuantan.

This year, i got to celebrate it with friends although it is 3 weeks in advance, i didn't mind.
I was going for a normal dinner... to La Vina this new Spanish restaurant that opened in Manchester. My love for trying food...

When i went upstairs, i was surprised to see all of them there.... .. I was so surprised... shocked.. and wierdly.. SHY~!~!~ why shy? I don't know... It was so sweet... they all greeted me when i came in... Those who were there include:-
Raymond, Chia Ming, Jaycen, Sandev, Han Sian, Chee Lim, Mikael, Stephanie, Victor, Sally, Jane, Khai Sheng, Yee Yin, Kar Xian, Arvind, Yi Jun, and Yi Wei.
Yvinne had already made her way back to Malaysia... so she couldn't be there.. sobs sobs...
"Yvinne, you are welcome to visit me on my birthday~!~! *hint* lol

We giggled... talked... laughed... and took a whole load of pictures... well, not a whole load.. some.. hheheheh... as can be seen below:- ( seems like i'm writing another report.. heheh SSC~!~!~)
