Firstly because i had an awesome time..laughing and making fun of each other. Even tho we ate(Secret Recipe), had coffee(Starbucks) and then went to Grace's place, we managed to talk a lot and basically hang out much.
But the real big deal is that they sent me back, at 1am ++. It was really scary for myself and them too. After reaching home at about 2.00am, i stayed on the phone, making sure they got home. It was actually pretty worrying, wondering if they were ok, and then being able to do nothing to help except tell them where to go. So i really just wanna say THANK YOU BOTH!
Ps: Will edit this with pictures after i upload'em to my com. Feeling bit tired now..gonna go bed. Laters.

Photos from the reunion are posted, along with a couple pics from the after-party at Daryl's place. Since the Taiwan earthquake, photobucket's not been working for me, so i used friendster to upload it. Express apologies for the lack of quality of the pics, since they shrunk it damn a lot. I will get on to uploading it to photobucket soon as i can.
5A Reunion Pics!

26th Dec..cursed?
A couple years ago, on this very date, "The" Tsunami hit the SEA region, causing countless casualties and billions lost in terms of properties. This year, an earthquake in Taiwan caused internet cables connecting the SEA region to other countries, causing our net to slow down and screw up. Coincidence? What are the chances?

Of vacations and Christmas
Heyo!
Finally, i get the time to blog. Well, not like i haven't before, i've just been lazy ok? Well, i've got a couple things to show and tell i guess.
On to business, firstly, i went to cameron highlands for 4 days. Before i went, i really thought what the hell am i gonna do here?, but it turned out to be quite alright, owinng in no small part to the fact that the bungalow we stayed at had just been renovated. So basically, it was 4 days of pigging out, ping pong and playing movies every night(sorry, couldn't find another word with a 'p' =/). It was a kinda get together with nature sorta vacation, with lotsa trees and green etc, and also more of spending time with family(cousins n such), since we actually haven't been home much during the day to spend time with'em. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words, and so, let me give you a few thousand ;p
After that, we travelled to Ipoh, where mom was brought up, to visit my grand aunt. Boredom gave way to naughtiness as my cousin showed us exactly why 4 year olds can be such menaces. Also, we found a somewhat malaysian version of Crayon Shin Chan in my distant cousin. Here are some MORE photos!
The very next day, my friends came over to our place for Christmas eve. Admittedly, there was some alcohol, but not much(only one guy got drunk..), and quite a bit of gambling. Managed to do some catching up, laughing all the way to 5am and GL, being who he is, nearly woke the whole house up telling his fascinating stories VERY loudly! 'Twas awesome fun! The cleaning up after..boy that was tough, on only 5 hours' sleep and very little juice. Enough with the words, on to the pictures!
Well, there were more moments, but after this last pic, i abandoned my camera in favour of the more tempting activity of gambling. I lost 8 bucks in the end, no thanks to our(kevin, jho and i) lousy luck and magnificent (lack of) skill in poker. Unfortunately(or maybe otherwise to some of you), i was not in any of the pics, being behind the camera the whole while. Also, mouseover the pics if u wanna see my comments on'em. As a final note, i hope i took better pics this time!
Merry Christmas y'all!

A Hectic Week.
Wow. That's seriously all i can think of right now. It's been a crazy hectic week! To give you an idea of just how much i've been out, the fact is, i've only slept at home about 4/7 nights that i've been back here, tonight included.
The thing is, i've been kinda on the fly for this holiday. My plan is to have no plan, and take things as they come, fit in with everything else and do what i want to do, and i think that's part of what makes my week here so exhilarating and fun.
So anyways, in the past week, i've played futsal, eaten lots and lotsa malaysian food, played squash and badminton, hung out with friends, gambled, drunk, spent money on clothes, bought some pc stuff, bought dvds, got sucked in by the mega sale, stayed over at a friend's place, used the "lah" more than 20 times a day, spoken malay, been to low yatt, played bowling, been around ou, seen a couple movies, stayed out past 12, watched astro, eaten durian and finally..sweat HEAPS!
Anyways, dad bought me a 7.1mp camera!!! We got the Canon SD850 at the warehouse sale, where i saw Nor Aman(that's one of our(SSB's) useless past principals if u remember), but that's not really important. I'm still exploring the functions and such, and we also got a 3-in-1(printer, scanner, copier thing) coz dad felt we needed one(i am actually pretty unsure on this one), but yeah, the pics are pretty clear. Only, i'm thinking it takes pics too fast coz of the high ISO rate, which causes me to get lotsa blurs lol. Here are some pics..
