My Life in Bits and Pieces.

As I said in the previous post, I will update soon, and this is as 'soon' as I can manage.

So quick question, how did everyone celebrate Valentine's Day? The only day where couples can moon and act lovely-dovey without anyone shooting them dead on sight, and where bitter single people mutter darkly when they pass said couples on the street and shoot them death glares, then proceed to proclaim loudly that VALENTINE'S DAY IS FOR IDIOTS, if you truly loved someone everyday is VALENTINE'S DAY yada yada yada doo da etc, secretly they're just bitter cause there's no one to go home to, har har har.

So anyway, cynical laughter and mini rant aside, how did you guys spend valentine's day?

Here's how I spent mine. Technically it's Valentine's eve, but it's close enough.

With roses and swans.

My friend who is currently in TAYLOR'S LAKESIDE CAMPUS , ain't that just fine and dandy, sacrificed her whole weekend to get this Styrofoam cut out swans decorated in time for their fund raiser project in university, which happens to be a valentine themed fund raiser, no prizes for guessing why. So the swans are actually for couples to take pictures with.

Exhibit A.

`cept we are not a couple.

Well, during Valentine's eve, which technically still was part of the 15 day Chinese New Year celebration, I spent the night with my friends and chit chatting with them and of course collecting red packets from the people we visited. So in a nutshell, Vday was spent chatting and cam whoring as you can see below.

RED PACKETS GALORE!

I especially like the picture of me with my face scrunched up and my fists raised.

Camwhoring ish what we do the bestest.

Fun with friends and red packets, who needs Valentine's day?

Below are going to be random bits and pieces accompanied with pictures I found stored in my phone's memory.

Bought a really really cute Elmo hairband

Abused the 'negative' function of my phone's camera with sister dearest.

Tau fu fa with A PURPLE PLASTIC SPOON!

Normally they give totally unglam colours like green, white, but this time HOLYCRAPPURPLESOCHIO!

Cam whored in college again, but I like my smile so I shall post it up here.

Mom and I saw this on our way to SS15's Carrefour, what is the dress doing on the tree I don't know.

Point to be noted, mom slowed down for me to take a picture, super mom.

Last but not least, the most recent event in my life, which happened yesterday or technically 13 hours ago using 1am as an indicator.

I met up with my high school band senior for lunch, we used to be really good friends and somehow or rather we got caught up in each other's respective lives and obligations so today's actually the first time we're meeting up since he graduated. He even offered to buy me lunch since he forgot to wish me happy birthday, so I guess I got a super late celebration from a really thoughtful person.

Even though we have stopped talking for a year, when we met there was no awkwardness and topics just came up one after another, I guess it's true that when you're comfortable with someone you tend to be more talkative in their presence. In the raging tide of change swirling all around me, it's nice to talk to someone so familiar, like a rock against all those changes, though we may be different people from our high school days, I guess our change is linear, so after so many years, we still remain the same people in each other's eyes in spite of our changes. Am I even making sense at this point?

Well in conclusion, it's nice to have a familiar face from the past reminding you that not everything is so bad. Furthermore, since he is my senior and has seen more of the world then I have, it was nice to hear pretty insightful advice from him. Enjoyed my lunch tremendously.

Spotted at Empire's Chili's!

Love the tiled table top.

Don't worry, fries were not consumed by me.

Guess where I am?

At the LONGEST INDOOR SLIDE at Empire Shopping Gallery.

IT WAS OHSOFUN! and since it was my 'birthday treat' makes it FUN-ER!

RM12 per entry, tickets valid for one month but one use only.

Imagine sitting on a giant slide so long that you actually hope it'll end soon, how nice is that?!

Side effects include : euphoria and slight dizziness.

The back of this ticket is actually rainbow coloured to show how fun it is!

Had this traditional malay dessert today.

Unfortunately I can't find the name on google.com and I've forgotten it, but I CAN tell you that it is made out of fermented glutinous rice and wrapped up in rubber tree leaves.

The taste is a bit strong at first and it's really sweet, but the texture is indescribably nice.

Who knew that such om nom nomific dessert existed?

Yam leaves, banana leaves or rubber plant leaves are used to wrap "tapai". Tapai is fermented glutinous rice or tapioca which takes some acquired taste to enjoy. Old ways of fermenting is used to make tapai and tuak. Tuak is a mild alcoholic drink made by "strengthening" the juice resulted when making the tapai. (I FOUND IT!)

So, here's my life in bits and pieces, will write more after exams.

Love,

JEAN

I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years
My heart.

So sorry missed this uber funny part of what happened to me before meeting my senior, I gave him a call to see where he was and what car he will be driving so I would be prepared and stuff, I hate looking blur, and he replied, something *insert colour of car* MYVI. So as you can see only one word registered in my mind, MYVI car. Thus, after rushing through all my errands, I walked out of college to see a SLIVER MYVI parked conveniently in front of college, without thinking I yanked the passenger door open and plonked myself in the seat with a huge smile and bright greetings, only to see a startled face of

SOMEBODY I DIDN'T KNOW AKA A STRANGER.

So in other words, I ENETERED A STRANGER'S CAR! OMG!! So dangerous, but actually kind of funny at the same time, the poor guy was so confused with me, after apologising profusely, I got out and shot this parting remark, 'why was your car door even unlocked anyway?' I think I can never live through the embarrassment, after that encounter, I see him moving down the street and park himself further away from me, I think he thinks I'm psychotic.

Later, way later, my senior comes in a GREEN MYVI. WTF.
