My Memories in HS5

Hi all,

Since I've told you guys how I was addicted to the online game Highstreet 5, I guess it's appropriate to share with you a bit of what I've been through in the game since I first join. Hope you guys enjoy the video. Although things are not as they are now but I hope everyone can still keep in touch again once in a while. I'll still play the game whenever I can as long as I'm free. (^^)

Twice touched in the heart

Today, I didn't have any plans at all as I didn't have any class as my lecturer is in China (but it may be one of those rare occasions where there's no class on a saturday T_T ). As I was playing games on the computer, Archana SMSed wondering what I was doing. Not knowing that I didn't have a class. After a short while, Khairi also SMSed asking if I wanted to go out to meet her. I asked Billy if he would like to join but he's tied down with family commitments. So, I asked Khairi to come and pick me up.

We met up with Archana in Sunway Pyramid and had lunch at McD. After that, we helped her present hunting for a married couple and a friend's birthday. And ended up buying a set of beautiful china bowls for the couple and earrings as her friend's birthday present. Since it's still early (it was around 1.45pm), we decided to catch a movie, which took a short time to consider and decide. We ended up watching "Marley and Me".

I didn't read the book before but here's a little bit about the story. It's about John and Jenny Grogan going through their lives' ups and downs with the world's worst dog, Marley. There were mostly funny scenes in the movie but near towards the end, the scene was sad and touching that I actually cried a bit (yes I did, so go ahead and laugh your heads off if you want to). I was actually surprised that Archana was surprised to see me cry (She was sitting between me and Khairi in the cinema). We did a bit of window shopping before leaving.

Then, after I reached home and had my shower and dinner, I watched "Quill" at 8.30pm on 8tv. It's a japanese movie dubbed in Cantonese about the life of Quill as a guide dog for the blind. Also near the ending of the show, I nearly cried (Strike 2 =="). Wow, got touched in the heart twice in a day. How lucky can I be...lol.

Meow o.O ?

Well...there used to be questions like "Are you a dog person or a cat person?" or "Are you a dog person ?". After much time, I think I'm a cat person ^^". The reason is this, although I have affinity towards cute animals in the pet shops, I'm always looking out for cute cats as well. Somehow, I've developed an affinity towards cats.

Just last month, two of the stray females gave birth behind my house. Giving a total of 6 kittens ^^. But now, the kittens are still not familiar with me and my family yet. Always go hiding whenever any of us appears. Now that they've moved to the porch of my house, the kittens would hide under the long dormant old VW Beetle ^^". Then, there's another kitten appeared behind my house which none of us has any idea of its origin. But even that fella is afraid of us too.

Not just only that, the kittens in my front porch managed to leave traces of their terror. Some of my mom's plants got snapped, the shoelaces on my shoes got untied and my slippers ended up on polar opposites the next day (There was once one of my slippers ended up under the VW). For the kittens in my front porch, the whole area including the flower pots is their playground. Sometimes, when I stood still, they would dash out while playing with each other and accidentally bumped into my legs, and ran back into their hiding place when they noticed who does the legs belong to when I teased them ^^.

Though they can be little nuisances, it was cute and fun to silently watch them play around. I hope that I can manage to tame some of them in the future.

Tasty CNY Dinner

Date: 13th February 2009
Event: Open house dinner at James and Joanne's place

I know it's like a month ago. But I'm a bit backlogged in my updates ^^". This event was supposed to start at 7.30pm. But I was late due to my underestimation of the time required to reach the Sri Petaling LRT station...and Calvin was there to pick me up. Therefore, both of us were late...but we're also the earliest to arrive (Kristine not included).

I waited for other guests to arrive, and started on the dinner first...because Calvin already started with a few pieces of duck...so impatient...lol. But I have to admit, the food were tasty. Then, more guests started to arrive. there's Ying Xin, Lillian, Sanjeev, Jamie, Belinda and a few of RAC Subang's guests. James and Joanne had to go out to buy more for the dinner. There's delicious Hokkien fried noodles, kuey teow and noodles mix and also tasty chicken and mutton satays(droool....)

Besides that, Kelvin Thum also prepared "limited edition" savoury ham and lettuce wraps and a big bowl of healthy salad. All of us had a real hearty dinner. Since Calvin had to leave early due to unacceptable personal reasons, he had to be punished...with a few rounds of Black Lable mixed with Coke (Luckily I didn't left early either...or else I'd be flat out on the floor already before I even leave =="). But before leaving, there's a special occasion.

It was James and Lillian's belated birthdays, it was supposed to be a surprise. Ying Xin was in charge of buying cream cakes that were meant to be mashed into their faces but her friend bought sponge cakes insted. Still, they were used to mash into the birthday boy and girl's faces anyway. After that, the real birthday cake was brought out and everyone had a share of it after the candle was blown out. It was a really fun open house and I hope there'll be more to come. ^^
