Tony and I left Doris in Hong Kong and headed for Macau, met up with Anita and Tony met up with his friend Will. We met David and Steven with their group as well.
Took the shuttle to StarWorld Hotel and we met up with the other five, and then we went for lunch. Ended up in some kinda restaurant and had dim sum and noodles.

(for some reason I didn't mind being short)

We visited StarWorld, Hotel LisBoa and then we took the bus to The Venetian.

(anita and I)

(busride to Venetian.. haha)

The Venetian was awesome. It’s sooooo pretty, I know there’s one in Vegas but its pretty awesome to have one in Macau too. We took the gondola ride and the guy who rowed the boat sang for us. OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

We headed back to HongKong afterwards and still managed to take a last stroll on Tsim Sha Tsui. Didn’t buy anything though. Before heading home, we went to Causeway Bay and walked around the area. I took pictures of all the places with branded stores. OH SO BEAUTIFUL. LOL.
Went home and saw Doris with LOTS of purchases and Chinese food. It was definitely a good day for her.

Checked out, went and did a little bit more Hong Kong touristy stuff then took the Shuttle and headed to the Airport. Spent loads of time in the airport because our AIRASIA flight for HK to KUALA LUMPUR was delayed. It was preeeetty sad. Reached LCCT around 3.30am.

ps: the Hong Kong airport is blardy BIG. we took an LRT from one terminal to the other.. then the bus to the airplane. FOOH.

3. Home =)

Got out the custom area around 4am… found seats in the departure area.. And started to watch my shows. (MY ASIAN SHOWS) Went for ann OJ and some hash browns and then Doris left shortly after for her flight back to Miri. I had A LOT of time to waste.. So I sat with my luggages and my laptop, and finished my 6 shows. HAHAHHA. Slept countless times during the whole 6 shows because it was soooo boring. Waiting til almost 1pm when Debbie finally arrived from Singapore. Chitty Chatty.. Checked in and then we headed to the departure hall for our flight back to Miri at 3pm.
Saw Mum and Daven the first thing we got there, they ran right into the ‘no entry area’ LOL. IM FINALLY HOME <3

Mum cooked, we had our first dinner at home.. Opened our luggages.. Gave our presents and spent the rest of our evening at home. It feels nice to be at home again. Had lots of calls from my aunts and uncles, and it definitely felt good to be home.

June 3 2009

slept in til 11.30am..
spent the WHOLE day at home.. Doris watching her movie, me reading Eclipse, and the kids doing whatever.
drove out in the afternoon..... bought the more slushie drinks cos it was bloody hot out.. and then BAM. my car accident :(

yeah... i was careless enough to not watch what I was doing.. I was reversing and I heard a car honking.. but I didn't know it was actually honking me. then BAM I hit right into the car. Bum on bum.
thank god my parents aren't mad.. but there's some damage to both cars. the other driver was really nice we'll fix her car FOR SURE once my daddy is back (tomorrow night) and yeah.. i'm gonna live the rest of my holiday without driving. SOBS. sam I miss you. I rather get a speeding ticket then an accident.
BOO.
spent the rest of my day at home, finished eclipse.. now I'm gonna wait til I get my hands on the next book. MUAHAHHAHAHA.

had CRABS for dinner today.. and I cut my finger while eating that. yah talk about being careless.
I miss Edmonton... not the place. but my friends. =) and my girl friends left my hometown for school... so I'm kindaaaa lonely. thank god for family.

I need MAGNIFYING GLASSES and Glasses that help with side views. ARGH.

on the good side of the note: daddy's back tomorrow night! YAY to that! more parties!!!!

May 29, 2009 Friday

Been a good girl today, for the first time since I came back… I FINALLY WENT JOGGING with mum. HAHAHAH, I met my aunt there, did two rounds of just walking and a round running. I think I actually have better stamina from all that grocery shopping and ‘running after the bus’ sprints.

Then we went to a coffee shop nearby sri maju(this tuition/extra classes school that I went to), sri mawar(my first school that taught me malay), and dato permaisuri(my high school) (aka. piasau area). They had pretty good kolok mee… mmmm. I only managed to take a picture of the finished bowl. HAHAHAHA.

Doris, Mum and I went for a shampoo blowdry today, mum and I got our hair treatment done as well. I met Gertrude at the salon and it was pretty odd to bump into her there. When we were done, it was time to pick little Brother up. It was the last day of school for him and he just finished his term exam so he was SO SUPER HAPPY. We went for lunch at 2020, saw Shak Choon there =) Then Mum went back to her shop and Doris, little Brother and I went home and I slept til…..it was time to hit the BEACH!!!! WOOT WOOT!

We headed back downtown.. I picked my friends up (btw, my driving skills are getting better.. Back to the way it was. HAHAHAHA) and we went for ais kacang. (It’s some kinda snack ppl have here, like a slushie, but BETTER!) Mum didn’t… actually Mum REFUSED to go to the beach because she didn’t want to tan at all.. So I went with my friends and we took some preeeetty nice pictures there.

We left around 7pm.. After the sunset and all, and then we found this open fire near Sri Maju and it was near a transformer.
STUPID COPS.
I SERIOUSLY SAY STUPID.

I thought it was better for me to call them so that they would put the fire off OR ELSE the fire would get to the transformer and an explosion could possibly happen.I had to call some landline..
Not 911 or 991 or 999. Some 085 433 222
Me (M): Hello?
Cops (C): (Something along the line on how may I help you)
M: There’s a fire occurring near a transformer around the area Sri Maju, would you be able to look at it?
C: Hah? Apa? I don’t speak English-lah.M: Hmph, ada kebakaran yang sedang berlaku dan dia sangat dekat dengan transformer, boleh tengok kah?
C: Oh, kamu telifon nombor ini: 433 730
[Oh, call this number: 433 730]
M: Huh? Okay bye.

Calls the other number 433730

M: (repeats the same thing)
C: oh…. Dekat mana? Mana itu?
[Oh, Where’s it at? Where is that?]
M: dekat Sri Maju, di shophouse sana, belakang Sri Maju ada transformer, ada orang bakar barang di sana dan dia bahaya. Boleh tengok kah?
[near Sri Maju, near the shophouses, there’s a transformere behind Sri Maju and someone left someone burning there and its dangerous. Can you take a look at it?]
C: Okay, Okay Saya tengok dulu. Apa nama dan nombor anda?
[ Okay, okay I’ll take a look at it. Whats your name and number?]
M: (gives all that)Hangs up.

Ten minutes later, I get a call from a cell phone.

C: Hai, Saya polis.[Hi, I’m the police]
M: Okay, do you need help?
C: Di mana kebakaran itu? Api itu kuat kah?
[Where is the fire again? Is it strong?]
M: (repeats the whole thing…) and yes it is strong, I have pictures of it that I can send to the papers and they can publish it so you can see it tomorrow if you want.
C: Okay okay, Saya panggil ahli bomba dan saya pergi sekarang.
[Okay okay, I’ll call the fire fighters and I’ll go now]
M. Kay, Bye.

OMG. How ridiculous.

They are the least reliable people to call. I don’t even understand why we’re supposed to call a landline when it’s an emergency. Don’t they have a switchboard?

And Malaysia, hire some English speaking operators. Do you not expect foreigners to call and be concerned about things that you guys aren’t concerned about? Do you not expect people who don’t speak JUST MALAY to call? OMG.

I’m just utterly disturbed. HAHAHAH. Yeah I seriously am.

Malaysia!

I am going back to Malaysia this Summer... and DORIS IS COMING TOO!
it's gonna be WICKED (lol british accent)

Debbie's gonna be in Malaysia still, we'll have sooo much fun.

So I'm leaving Edmonton April 30, I'll be in HK May 1st and we're meeting up Tony that's flying to HK from Singapore. We'll be there til May 6th and head to KL from HK on the 6th, stay a night a arrive Miri May 7th around 5.15ish.
Then I've booked my tickets from Miri to KL and back, I'm leaving Miri May 11th at night, and i'll be spending my birthday in KL, then I'll be going back to Miri with the three girls, Song Shirley and Sze (funny how the names always come together, I should start calling myself Seehui) on May 18th. And that would be the end.... NOT

I'm just thinking bout if I should make another trip back to KL while I'm in Miri, could get more shopping done and more touristy things done. I mean.. I've never been around West Malaysia yet. maybe I should explore a little more.. maybe I should rent a car. AHAHAH

I'm also thinking about ways to get some money from our apartment while we're gone.. that's two months with no one staying here... thats 600dollars! that's aloooooooot of money. Should I rent it out? what if they break my things? argh, so many things to consider.

anyways, tickets booked. See you guys sooon!

PS: I love Lee Hom, I sooooooooooo love Lee Hom. Why is he so awesome? SIGH <3
