& the yelling never ends..

right now at this very moment, I can hear my younger sister screaming because mummy is pinching her pimples. A mixture of tears and pain. HORRIBLE!

a soft comfort voice of mummy saying its going to be over (never really), always giving the hope of pain-free-ness which arrives later than expected..

& thinking its normal, Hazel’s awesome-ness pitches in with ‘please watch your tongue’, ‘stop yelling at mummy’, and ‘shut up’! hmm~

This is my home. & I love every single bit of it..

& I got a little scolded from Daddy but that was out of fun..

‘cuz I’m the only one who calls people in the very loud and ‘cute but funny’ tone.. haha! I’ll call them this:

Hazel (Jie) : FattYYYYYYYYYY

Benjamin : BenNNYYYYYYYY

Daddy : DadDDYYYYYYYYY

Mummy : FatTTYYYYYY / MummMMMMYYYYYYY

Hilda : (nothing) haha! perhaps sometimes FatttTTYYYYY [but she’ll always reply by saying she’s not fat.. lol]

Tina JieJie : FaTTTTTYYYYYYY

[must emphasize on the YYYYYYYYYYYY.. its like EEEEEEEEEEE! haha~]

if u count properly, I call most of them Fattyyy.. :) its out of fun usually..

and it always ends with EEEEE.. so this was what happened..

whenever I call mummy, jie or ben or even Tina JieJie.. daddy will answer with his usual ‘oi!’ & I’ll be like ‘I didn’t call u.. haha!’ and he’d be ‘hmph..’

then in the car to dinner one day he said this, ‘stop calling people like that laaaa..’ n I asked why of course and asked him to listen properly next time to not confuse himself but he replied saying ‘I’m waiting for you to call me mah!’ hehe!

then the other day he told me it was getting on his nerves already.. (crappy!) LOL

oh well, must avoid doing that when he is around then and plus I’m sure he’d miss it when I’m gone! :D the thing they miss the most is the filled up silence with my voice! muahahaha~

guess I have my voice in a pretty good position! teehee!

anyway, ever since I had my hair trimmed again and this time highlighted, the sun came out! before that it was raining cats and dogs!! but now it is freakishly HOT! sheesh..

met up with Calvin, a friend met in Melbourne but all from the same hometown, today! :)

took him to a place to have Breakfast and came over to our place to chat.. He’s a pretty good chatter box! I thought we’d have awkward pauses but no, it went smoothly! great!

got my IC after dropping him back home.. wanted to take home some TongSui but the uncle didn’t open his little stall today.. oh well!!

& thanks to Ben, I’m infected with soar throat!! @#$%^&*

in the middle of the night I would wake up seeing his face facing me and coughing IN MY FACE. yikes! sigh~

all the hard work of taking care of him in the middle of the night when he had his fever has all been wiped on his dirty ass..! what graciousness, brother..!

All in all, guess there’s not much for me to report now except for : my homework is still waiting! :/ I’m now hooked onto a game called Dragon Nest (online game – RPG) pretty cool actually.. :D I have better start tomorrow! since I’m going out to see my teachers, I might as well go to the office and do my work after that instead of hanging with jie and her friends SHOPPING.. eee! no no..

*fingers crossed* I get most things dome.. :)

Love, Hannah

I’ve just realised..

..that I’m giving out too many excuses! (no, its not good!)

given the excuse of no dictionary therefore I haven’t finished reading my English literature books yet, but I could easily check the words up on the internet.. which means I can’t start on my Oral Project. SHOOT!

given the excuse that the house internet is slow therefore not looking up the words and not replying my emails..

given the excuse that my calculator has insufficient batteries therefore can’t do my Math’s homework when I could easily use my brain..

given the excuse to eat because I won’t be having such yummy food back in Melbourne..

given the excuse to not exercise because of the rainy weather when I have the treadmill at home!

given the excuse to go jogging with you even when it is raining but go to your house instead and walked into something I knew that isn’t right..

given the excuse that I won’t be able to see you again and contradict everything I’ve said which will result in planting hope in you which I may never fulfill..

funny how I’ve had so many excuses. :(

there are many more actually.. sigh! what a person I am..

tired! :/ not a good start to a good year!

Love, Hannah

PS: I’ve cut my hair! :) a hint of light in the vast darkness I would say..

bye 2011 & hi 2012!

This is pretty embarrassing. This post should be on the 1.1.12 but its already 10.1.12! shucks!

SORRY my lovelies!

got caught up with so many things.. too many actually, I don’t know where to begin.

first let me tell you about how spent my New Year’s countdown!

Usually, we’d (Jie & I) go to church and join the service and youth bbq then countdown the new year but this year we did it differently. it was a good time! we had dinner as a family (only the 6 of us), Jie me and Mummy dearest went out to take home some nice crabs and seafood to celebrate which turned out pretty disappointing ‘cause we had to wait about 1 and a half hours for them!! but in the end we had them in our tummies so who cares of a little suffering of having to wait? we ate in the house together (noodles that my ma-ma cooked for us + the seafood!!) and then head upstairs for a movie time!! we watched Norbit. [random from my hard drive] Miraculously, daddy found it funny! haha~ we had some 糖水 [sugar water / tong sui] that Ma-ma boiled also. & after the movie, it was about the time to countdown and see the fireworks. but sadly Kuantan had a sad New Years ‘cause it rained! not much fireworks but it was great, Ben and I kept making noise. & we followed the tradition to jump as high as possible to grow taller! haha~ I sort of forgot what happened next but I know I had heaps of hugs and kisses from my awesome family. though Jie and Hilda and Ben was constantly on their phones wishing people. I just sat there staring. Oh well! that was my New Year!! :D

After the New Year hoo haa, Jie and I planned for our little backpacking trip though she wasn’t very keen but we still went for it anyway!! 3/1 – 6/1 @ Singapore & then 6/1 – 9/1 @ PJ (KL).. don’t really want to type out the whole JOURNEY but here is a ‘brief’ run through of our little trip..:

The ride to Singapore was HORRIBLE! it was worst than a roller coaster! almost puked! stupid bus driver! xD thank God we reached Singapore in one piece! our Aunt picked us up & off we went to her sanctuary. Uncle CK was in Penang (working) so all who is left in their little apartment was 三姨婆，表姑 and Kevin (cousin).. & awesome Kevin didn’t mention they had a pool!! Ish, didn’t bring my swimmies!

1st day, we spent time with the family and that’s about it (oh and also learning from Kevin how to take the MRTs and what not)..

2nd day, Jie & I met up with Rachel Bronto at Raffles City Mall? and walked just about the whole of Singapore City! haha~ SHOOT! I’m not going to post all my photos here but you can check them out in Facebook when their ready! haha~ :D (you know what? Facebook is so not my thing now, craps!) Anyway, we first walked to Esplanade, & then to the Merlion, Marina Bay Sans, and back again to Raffles City to meet up with James. Had dinner together! (feast actually!!) & then we took the flyer!! pretty brief but heck! it was a LONG and HOT day! my legs were complaining shit and I was complaining shit too! [ oh, and silly us, it was James birthday on this day.. we are actually one of the worst friends he’d have so far ]

I forgot the story of the merlion.. hmm! heard that there are many versions of them! :D but anyway, its one thing that sort of describes me: lion cuz I’m a Leo n I love lion cuz their fluffy and I used to be very brave. and the mermaid cuz I love swimming and wish to just be as free as a fish. :)

no I’m not floating, don’t worry! :D

up up and away to the rooftop garden!

I learned that Singaporean’s call this TukTuk gao

our feast!

the birthday boy, JAMES!

us! n I love the BG! :D

okay, now lets zoom pass to the 3rd day = Universal Studios Singapore!!

the funny thing is that when we reached Vivo, we lost each other! :P for half an hour. & the most funniest thing is that I don’t have a phone, and Jie doesn’t have any money.. hmm! but thankfully we still managed to ‘announce’ each other back. :)

so off we went to USS, we managed to get on all the rides available except the 2 major ones : Galactica!! :( well, honestly we were both scared but Jie really didn’t want to go so I didn’t go too cuz I want to go together. but oh well, there’s next time? :) we had a great time there! here’s some pictures!

from 10+am till 7pm we were there! Awesomeness! <3

soar legs were what we gained as well as happiness and many memories there!

Singapore, not a bad place to live in despite the KiaSu-ness of the people there and the heat and all the money money business, it’s a not bad place! hmm~ in consideration!

After Singapore, we spent the weekend with our beloved granny (PoPo) at her place. Woah! her awesome food!! if only I can pack her into my luggage and ship her over to Melbourne, it’ll be great! if she comes over, I don’t have to worry about food! and we could accompany her and she can also explore the western part of the world!! (though Melbourne is sort of Asianised already! haha)

All’s great! this little trip was great. took away some pain and suffering by adding sweetness and awesomeness! :)

Love, Hannah

PS: can’t wait for backpacking trip part 2!!! –> India? Hahaha!! Namaste~

Bangkok :)

Bangkok VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Sawasde ka!!

went back to my roots! haha~ joking. my grandma is half Thai, though I doubt I have any relatives there? hmm~

did heaps of shopping there! and when I say shopping I mean the art of it – BARGAINING!

one of the things I was proud of was the watch I bought for Ben! its D&G (looked and felt real) which costs B550 but I managed to bargain till B430!! :D & its not that I’m bragging. its just that it looks really awesome on Ben. made him look like a man. I think I have this sort of ‘good’ eye! haha~ even when I bought the materials from India, I managed to pick out good ones. hmm!!! [vain vain!!]

most importantly was that I got to bond with my Aunt & Uncle [mum’s side] and my little cousins AND my awesome POPO! she’s great! well, knowing that I won’t be back for 2 years, I think it’s only right to start bonding before they change or me missing out.

the first day we arrived we straight away went to the hotel because of the terrible jam which wasted heaps of our time but its alright. Ben hurried Hilda and I to go swim at the pool since the sun was setting which would make swimming a whole lot sweeter than just laps. When we reached the pool, it was pretty cold but I jumped in anyway & since I’m in, all I have to do is keep on swimming to keep myself warm right? Hilda joined me after a long pause of ‘should I swim or be a wimp’ dilemma. The disappointing thing was not the sun set too quickly (it was beautiful mind you) or Hilda and I did not do laps, but it was BEN! He chose to be a coward and not join us in the pool. Gee! Talk about growing up and heading towards adulthood much! well bah, whatever!

after swimming, we we so hungry we could practically eat a whole horse! (jokes) but since we were new to the place we didn’t actually know where to go for dinner. Daddy suggested to walk around and find some ‘nice’ place to eat. And by definition, daddy’s nice means something expensive and would not affect our health (clean?). But I wanted local food, something cultural? You know, experience what their local people would eat!! That’s what a vacation for me means. So I found us a nice street food even though everyone wasn’t too keen, but we have walked quite far already and we were super hungry so why not? I was afraid the food wouldn’t turn out good and everyone would KILL me but hey!! It was YUMM! They had Pad Thai, HoyTod(?) [its something like O-Jian], fish ball noodles, beef ball noodles, and pork ball noodles. Ben even had 2 bowls of noodles. I think we gave the owner quite a business for the day. :) It was AWESOME!

Well, all I could say is that the LAST NIGHT of our stay in Bangkok, my grannie (popo) craved for that street food that we had the first night, but sadly it was closed! Though we still managed to get some Pad Thai and HoyTod! wee~

In summary, my trip to Bangkok was pretty amazing. Didn’t bump into ‘funny’ people or passed by the Red Light District (which was a sigh of relief). Though Ben and I managed to grab a ‘motorbike taxi’ for the fun of it! I was just trying to experience their local ‘specialties', but ended up having MR.DADDY giving me a lecture of how dangerous sitting on the taxi would be because we wouldn’t know where they’d take me to. Haha! I doubt anything would happen (yet). Oh! Not to mention, we had our time of relaxation every night! MASSAGES! :D for the 3 nights there, it was always me, Ben and Jie together in one room. Quite funny how Ben was too skinny for the old woman (I was so worried she’d break his bones! haha)..

We didn’t explore deep into the rural areas but I reckon Bangkok has pretty much improved and advanced when compared to Malaysia (well, we’re always behind anyway).

If I have the chance, I would revisit Bangkok again! Actually I would want to explore the whole of Thailand, to see where my Thai blood comes in :D

Love, Hannah
