An Insane Day Out

The day was Sunday, the 11th of May year 2008 to be exact... and it was the first time i had gone out shopping with my dear cousin Audrey ( after numerous complaints from her about being left behind by Lee Wen and I )... and it had proven to be quite an insane day, which i mainly contribute to her... =.="

While it started off pretty ordinarily, things started becoming a little strange.... first came the unstoppable laughter, primarily contributed by the oh-so-giggly Lee Wen... followed by Audrey's unstoppable hunt for "mini-skirts"... which, we, during which we had tortured poor Andrew by making him visit nearly every female clothes/shoes boutique in sight... >.<

However, to make up for our meanness, we decided to allow him the chance of selecting what we would have for lunch... and he selected.. Subway... which was not at all surprising... and we had a pretty nice time looking for it, thanks to two silly guides who don't seem to know their ways around very well at all.. >.<

LUNCH!! ^^

Audrey and i shared a foot-long club sandwich, while Lee Wen had a 6-inch Italian BMT (whatever that stands for) and Andrew had a 6-inch Roast Beef... ^^

Andrew's Food...

Audrey's and mine... Miki's half has all the veggies... >.<

Lee Wen's Food.... Looks the most miserable... and i wonder why...

Long story short, after lunch, we discovered that there was nothing left to do and had therefore decided to go skating... HOWEVER, we had forgotten to bring our gloves along... and Lee Wen and Audrey didn't even have socks... and my ever-so-creative cousin decided that we should buy the gloves and socks elsewhere instead of at the rink itself due to the charges... We happily agreed on it.. and thus began our insane journey, or rather, mad rush, in hopes of buying everything and leaving at least 2 hours of skating time...

First was the dash to Giant Supermarket...for.. 99 cents socks?? Well, they took long enough simply locating the section that sold them... just to find it right at the entrance.. =.=" so blind... and therefore, one crisis solved, next would be gloves... Audrey had suggested Gardening gloves that costed 99 cents as well, but upon looking at it ( and driving my into an uncontrollable fit of laughter) we decided against it and had therefore come to the decision of trying our luck out at Jusco... and so we went... ALL THE WAY, RUNNING... in Andrew's words " you'll be tired even before you start skating"... and he was quite right... >.<

in the end, we ended up with these gloves... and looked like magicians... ah well, RM3.50 is a small price to pay for lasting memories.. Lolx... so unforgettable, the day we skated with magician's gloves... >.<

yes, everyone left their gloves with me in the end and i had to wash them all... lazy people.. =.="

Skating!!! ^^ JOY!!

After skating.. back to normal... lolx...

The entrance bands... notice there are two that say DISCOUNT... a reminder to all students who wish to skate, bring your student ID's with you... because then you will be entitled to a RM3 discount... ^^ ( or at least i think it was RM3)...

Pics!! ^^

My two beloved cousins, Lee Wen and Audrey...

Andrew and I... ( i look sleepy)... >.<

The Pinks!! ^^

Dear cousin Lee Wen who doesn't wanna 'give me face'....

Audrey... lolx... getting drinks for us... maybe the reason behind the expression... >.<

In other news....

When i went out the day before, I had come across a little toy which i found to be rather adorable, especially after watching Lee Wen study for her exams... i realized that she had a fondness for squeezing a certain squishy ball which she had eventually named the 'stress ball' as it was generally used to relieve tension... ^^ I had therefore decided to purchase a certain squishy egg-toy for her...

And when squeezed...

cute, no?? ^^

anyway, as expected, Lee Wen became very fond of the toy... perhaps a little too fond... she had taken to bringing it around the house, allowing her to squish it constantly... i guess her over-squeezing had finally made the egg give way, because in less than 3 hours of giving the toy to her, the egg had sprung a leak.. all over my bed... =.="

This would be Miki's attempt to patch the hole.. with lots of super glue... =.=" apparently they had not done a very good job when they had originally sealed the egg off and it was that part which had given way under the pressure... the egg was saved, by the way, at the cost of my fingers being stuck together by super-glue... =.=" the things i do for these people... Ah well, love them ^^

Client Interviewing Exam Session

The date today is... May 09 year 2008... a much dreaded day for the UTAS Law programme students as today, we will be assessed on our client interviewing skills... and this is... not a pretty thing.... yes, clients can be a pain.. >.< ( and i just had to get a client who had nothing more than money in mind... imagine claiming 1 million dollars for a broken leg.. =.=" it is a good thing i stopped myself from flinging my shoes at him... i heard high heel shoes can deliver quite a punch >.<)

Okay, so as usual... most of us got to college early, perhaps in hopes of doing last minute research and practice sessions.... just like these... ^^

From what i can gather, Yee Chen and Stephanie are interviewing while Josh plays client... and i can't exactly tell what Caryn is up to...

The trio in action... ^^

Stacey and Caryn.. who appear to be much less worried about the matter compared to the trio who are.. still busy practicing... >.<

Idan being a lone ranger... don't get me wrong, this IS a TEAM exam.. we all have partners...

And well, the time came for the exam to begin... and we all took our turns.... after which, most of us had mixed feelings... ( a mixture of frustration at the client, and of course relief that is all over, to be exact) and could therefore take photos without that worried look on our faces... ^^

My partner Anusha looking very professional indeed.. ^^ (unlike me >.<)

Caryn and Mibu looking smart..

Anusha, Idan and Caryn... Idan looks like a pimp, or as i like to call it, 'bapa ayam' =.="

Anusha and Caryn... again... haha...

Mibu... looking very different... >.<

Anusha and Mibu... close friends...

And another pair of close friends.. Stephanie and Caryn

Yussuf looking like a member of the mafia.... >.<

Idan and Mibu... again, i shall say it... Idan looks like a pimp!! >.<

UTAS law students, March 2008 intake... missing Stacey, Joshua (who were having their turn) and Aaron...
( Yee Chen. Stephanie, Caryn, Idan, Yussuf, Joseph)
why Yussuf so tall.. >.<

Miki being vain... >.<

Miki in her lawyer outfit... haha...

and without the blazer... ^^

but the moment she reaches home... hahah... its much more comfortable... >.<

And if you're wondering what that plaster she has on her hand is hiding... its this...

Ouch!! >.<

A Day Out

Well, Anyz is going back, and so... before he did, he brought us out on some 'excursion'/ outing... he promised Andrew that he'd take him on the LRT because being the KK sakais that we are, SOME OF US have never been on an LRT... >.<>

And outside, on display... was a pretty car!! A Jaguar!!

Its pretty.. and that colour is gorgeous on that car... >.<>

Well, anyway we decided to have lunch here... and it actually took us quite awhile before we actually had the sense to ask a guard for the directions to the food court... It was one BIG food court.. haha... and earlier, we commented that not many people shopped in Pavilion.. i guess we were wrong, there were LOTS of people, just that they decided to hide out in the food court.. ah well, Malaysian culture... you can't separate them from their food.. >.<>

Anyz's lunch... looks sooo nice.. but he didn't touch ANY of the veggies... should report to his mom... >.<

Andrew's lunch... spaghetti bolognaise... the THIRD time over the past two days... sometimes i wonder why he doesn't get sick of it...

And my lunch... look at that smoke... lolx... i've never seen lasagne with THAT much sauce.. =.=" and its not all that yummy actually...

Anyz's dessert/ drink.. its a 'mango ABC' thingy... but he said it does NOT taste all that good.. lolx...

My watermelon juice and Andrew's Ice lemon tea.... why mine so small one??? not fair!! >.< Well, after this, we walked around for a bit, did some shopping, and eventually left for Lot 10... upon discovering that there really isn't much to do there, we caught the next monorail down to somewhere else... wait.. am i getting this right?? i'm confused.. >.<>.<>

Waiting for the monorail... look how red our faces are.... its SOOOOO unbearably HOT... and the low zinc roofs just don't help at all... =.="

Waiting for the KTM.. for like 20 minutes... it just got toooo hot... i had to take the jacket off... >.< Well, eventually we got to Sunway Pyramid... and first stop was Subway for snack.. ^^
