Fun And Madness

Last Saturday, May 3rd 2008

I woke up at about 8am, only 4 hours of sleep the night before. Got some chores done, cleaned my room, did some colouring( filling in the colours for the RUSH logo-originally done black and white and awesomely done by Dina from A-Levels. A great contribution to HMC, A-Levels Biggest rivals at HELP University College) and packed my bag for KL. By 10.45am, mom took me to A&W's in front for Seremban Parade in town for the first EVER AFS Seremban Chapter meeting i've been to.Probably the first one in a long time. by the time we got to know everyone( it so happened that Joycelyn Choong and me were the youngest volunteers out of the 16 of us in the chapter), got our food and started talking, it was 12.30..thats when Jegan and Aaron, my 2 buddies from School were to meet up with me to go to KL.

Amazingly, for the first time ever, the two characters arrived at A&W even before the agreed time. I bought some time from them by asking them to eat along with and additional 10 minutes.
The AFS meeting seemed to go on and on. well it wasnt really boring except that the senior volunteers kept getting sidetracked from the agenda talking about their exchanges and the hosted students in the past. I finally managed to get permission to leave from the chapter leader, Encik Ahmad and within that time, i was "volunteered" to become the Chapters Vice President. Which was fine with me, since the seremban chapter is pretty dead..hehe..we actually do not even have a single exchange student hosted within the state currently. Unfortunately, now, i have become responsible to help find host families to host foreign students. Joycelyn is the secretary by the way.

So, i was delayed an extra 10 minutes more. aaron, jegan an i left A&W at 1pm. we hurried and grabbed the first bus we could. Reached at Pasar Seni where it was drizzling a little, we thought we could save some money by walking to times square to catch Iron Man at Imax Theatre by 3pm. We Were WRONG!!! the rain got heavier as we passed pudu bus station. we found the cheapers cab we could and reached Imax right on time.

IRON MAN was AWESOME..To all Marvel Fans out there. This Movies is a MUST. well, to non-marvel fans too..IRON MAN is good!!! however, i dont think Imax is a very good idea. We were dissapointed with the poor quality of the image in imax. we did pay for 2D tickets. but the quality of the movie image was Lower than in GSC, perhaps even using a home projection system would have been much clearer. Its really a dissapointment when Imax Charges RM11 for their 2D tickets, boast one of the largest cinema screens in south east asia, Yet the quality of the screening is POOR!!!

after the movie, we grabbed some grub at McD( sorry aaron, we couldnt find Burger King) head back to KL sentral by the Monorail. We split as jegan and aaron head home
to seremban. I found my way to Dina's place instead.

Dina's birthday was last Weekend. Naina another friend of mine(she graduated from HMC and is now with dina doing A-levels), her birthday was a few days before dina's. These 2 gals decided on having a bbq over at Dina's place.

I meet a whole bunch of AFSérs there. Some of them were people whom i havent met in a long long time..Qing She from terengganu and Agan from Sarawak. Its been so long. we last met like the week right after we got back from the US. thats like almost like 10months ago. And i didnt even know these guys were comin. surprisingly, even our host, dina didnt know they were comin. they just popped OUTTA no where...hehe..

so after the party, we went mamaking at hartamas square. All of us, including our 2 hostess. had this HUGE ais kacang. with the sugar kicking in and the lack of sleep, 6 of us, headed back to dina's place. i was crashing at her place. we stayed up til about 4am making all sorts of noise, pillow fighting and snacking....

amazingly, we were all up by 8 something in the morning. went for breakfast after picking up johan. it was just naina, dina, johan and me. we went to cineleisure to catch a movie, but after buying popcorns we decided to just go back to dina's place and watch a movie. we settled for american pie 5-the naked mile. i got home about 5pm...took a nice long nap. at 8, kamini, my housemate woke me up and we both went to the gym

Long Lost Friends

Its been about 7 Years since most of us last met. 7 years since i graduated from primary school. The years of UPSR. Childhood times, old memories, good times, fun times.

After what it seemed like ages of attempts and planning, some of us SKTRJ( Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Rasah Jaya) class of 2001 met up. The venue, Midvalley, more specificly all over Midvalley.
It was about 12 of us. Its actually a pretty good turnout especially with the fact that most of us have long moved on and moved out into our own paths. Few have even travelled abroad. Many hoped to come, but couldnt. About 40( mainly from the class 6Bestari 2001-my class) invitations through text messages, phone calls and emails. many were busy. well, cant please everyone, can we?

So, Azril, Nithia, Deric,Ray, Mastura, Nabil, Revati, Jegan, Putri, Adilah, Fatin and me plus 2 other friends meet up at about 1.30pm, Saturday, 26 April 2008. We took about an hour just to find a place to eat that would accomodate all of us. Being a saturday, the place was crowded as hell. we finally settled for Dominos where the group was divided into 2 tables. Strangely, we ended sitting according to our sexes. Girls took up one table and the guys the other. Weird.

So we ate, Camwhored, exchanged contacts, and i think it was azril who came up with this idea of drawing autographs and to post it into our "friendster group". so we did that, took more picts, caught up with the news and ongoings in each others life.

Mid Valley was really crowded, we tried our luck at The Gardens for some peace and settled at the couches at The Gardens. Took more pictures and we planned for our next meet, hope it happens. Not Too LOng From Now hopefully
