i booked my ticket to hong kong the other day and it made me feel quite emo... it was a one way ticket and i'm not sure if i want to come back in december or go do something else... to be honest i have nothing much left for me here... my friends are leaving too it just so happens that i'm leaving earlier.. and my friends who are not leaving , they'll be fine cause they have a life to live... i only have my family left here that i have to worry about... i won't say what is it that i have to worry about but i know that its part and parcel of life... lifes not a straight road to begin with it has its sharp turns, round abouts and dead ends... but at the end of the day there's always more than one road... which is why people get lost sometimes...
i read a book today that max borrowed me and after reading the book... i felt good... it made me realise that hey its true...this is my second chance... its like a breathe of fresh air.. i'm going to be all alone when i get there but hey its good in a way... and besides i'll never be alone...
so if you ask me right now whether i'm happy or sad that i'm leaving... i will tell you this... i'm more happy than sad to be leaving...
'Every now and then life gives you a second chance its just how you use it at the end of the day'

A Random Solution
Lately everyone has been asking me so what are you doing now a days... cause I haven't been going out... lol.. i have a good reason to keep myself at home :)
well the reason is because ....
yup i'm sick... no i'm not dying... eventhough it feels like it but i'm not... i just have flu and a very very sore throat that makes me sound like a guy... and no its not h1n1...
my mum's too busy to cook for me today ... so a random solution popped into my head... which was campbell soup... i know pretty random... but what to do.. this is what sick people overseas do when they have no one near enough to get food for them :)... oh well i'll survive...
my throat hurts... i hope it goes away soon *prays...

You Should Have Given It A Chance...
Hello
I attended my hku reception/gathering on the 12th of July :)... hehe it was awesome... In a sense that i finally knew other people who were going to the same university as me and also because i met some other people there who are just as enthusiastic as me ... and also cause it gave me a chance to meet other people who share the same dreams and hopes of going there...
i'm so happy that i bumped into nigel who like me saw the ad in the newspaper and immediately took it as a chance to get out of here and to move on with our lives... the best part was that we both got into the same course :) so i found a course mate .. :) hehe... I met other people there too who were really friendly... we all plan to go there together on the same flight and such cause some of us can't speak cantonese well...
I've even met li ling whom knows jc ... and we plan to go on a shopping trip once we hit hk ... and we plan to do all sorts of stuff like hiking and makan makan... ;)...my appetite's back btw cause the doc gave me the green light YAY !!!!! s
despite all that the one thing i really really want to do is to get involved in the community projects done by the university students :) its so cool... i haven't decided but its between going to africa to help build school's or go to india and teach english ... My parents have given me the green light to participate so i just have to figure out which one i want... haha... if i go ghana then i can gazelle's and elephants :) *squels with excitement... if i go india i get to buy an authentic saree ... ok that sounds stupid... but then again i might get my kidney stolen in india... and i love my kidneys x)...
to be honest i'm really excited although the language barrier is going to be a really huge challenge... but i doubt its something that i can't handle... but then again the fact that i can't speak the language is going to make it really exciting in a weird way :).... Nevermind if i'm going down their be others coming with me *Smirks...
ps: i met my buddy she seems really really nice .... and friendly too... and she's going to get me from the airport :)...

A New Buddy
The University of Hong Kong practices the Buddy System ... which is a system where the first year international student undergraduates are paired up with one of their senior students in the same programme... and that buddy will fetch you from the airport personally and be your friend/ translator throughout your entire first year...
So today i checked my email and my buddy emailed me :P hehe... she lives here in Malaysia too the only difference is that she is doing BBA ... oh well... hehe she sounds nice... i don't know what to reply in that email... haha sorry but this email really excites me cause it just amplifies the fact that this is becoming so real... other than the fact that my mum cries over ice cubes... yes she's emo... now you know why i'm emo too :)...
but either way i have a feeling i'm going to meet her this sunday at the HKU students meeting... where i'll meet all the other HKU students, their alumni and my professors... i'm nervous .. what should i wear ... maybe i'll where a dress... or should i go with my usual slacks... need advice people... lol...
oh i went to sy's farewell at mcd yesterday ... it was fun but sad at the same time... i realised that sy is older than paul not in terms of age but in the sense that i know her longer than paul...
we met in mandarin class when we were like 4 or 5 ... we went to the same tadika which was tadika diana, we went to the same primary school which was SK TTDI (1) and then we went to the same high school SMKBUD(4) and then we went to the same college which was Taylor's college and now we're both going to different uni's on different continents... its just sad... but thank goodness for the inventions of modern tech...
love you girl ..

Rehearsals, Two Friends & A Little Red Book
I went to watch the rehearsals for my ex school's malam bakat and i have to say it brings back so much memories... i miss performing i really do but i hanged up my dancing shoes the moment i finished form 5... but hey who knows i might take them out when i go to hk... they have a dance club :) but i don't know why i guess along the way my taste in dance has changed... well i'm more keen to learn things like salsa and stuff more than u know the usual hip and hop and stuff... haha but we'll see how it goes....
haha i liked the whole atmosphere... actually.. it was like a clashing of the titans... cause there were like hip hoppers at one side and then at the other end you'll see ballerina's practicing their routine and then at a distance you can hear the violinist tuning her instrument... haha i don't know why but i loved the atmosphere where all the arts come together... i wanted to go to an arts school when i was younger but the closest i ever got to it was my ballet dance lesson... lol... oh well.. maybe He has other plans... and to be honest i can see it slowly unfolding before my eyes...
either way i'm really looking forwad to friday night ... i'm excited cause this will be the first time i'm actually going to sit down and watch the show ... haha i've performed every year so this is going to be a first ... I already have a few faves that i'm keeping an eye out for that night :)... there's a lot a of variety this year i'm surprised that i've already got faves... x)
haha guess whose this :) .. its my friend david woon from melbourne... i can't believe he actually came remembered to visit me after 2 years... lol.. it was so much fun catching up with him and sharing stuff with him like the old days lol... we decided to hit the swings...
haha i swung higher of course... yeah after talking to me for a while david decided to introduce me to stephanie for some reason he felt that it was right... it was so random... stephanie's really nice... and pretty ~~~ sorry guys no picture i forgot to snap one with her... so i told her my story and she introduced me to a little red book :)...
i'm actally really glad that she did... cause right now i have a clearer picture of stuff... but either way i'm not going to jump into it head first... i still want to check the depth and try my best to do it right... i understand why my friends are really concern with me in this issue... i do and yes its a valid q... which is why i'm second guessing cause well i'm not 100% confident but then again u can never be a 100% confident with anything... but i know that if He has signed the papers for me i'll definitely do it ... its just a matter of time... like stephanie said its like taking a leap of faith...

Transformers, Chicken Kamemashi, House Sushi & A Friend...
I finally found someone to watch Transformers with me ... finally after scrolling my entire contact list in my hp... someone came around and he was like have u watched transformers then i was noooo... 
anyway transformers is so cool :) i cannot stop having that smile after watching that movie.. i'm just glad that i finally got a chance to satisfy my cravings for transformers and chicken kamemashi ... hehe...
transformers was so cool.. except for the part where they killed the tiger look a like decepticon... it was like nooooo ~~~ the kitty dieded... but oh well... from a geeks point of view the part where shia went to heaven and saw the ancient primes .. was so cool but from a normal persons point of view it'll be like so lame... autobots have a heaven too... xP but my geekness got the best of me and i was like thats so cool... but for some reason the fallen prime looked like an alien... well until optimus prime went and ripped his entire face off... either way the movie rocks... i feel like watching it again lol...
chicken kamemashi... haha its from sakae sushi...
it looks like a house so cute.... xP
oh something funny happened... i was showing ben the picture look it looks like a house then he looked at my phone when the sushi was just directly in front of him... then he realised eh the sushi is here... then he looked at the real sushi... lol...

3,4,5
i had a very fun filled weekend as usual :)...
3rd July - i went shopping with paul and met with my schoolmates to celebrate jen ai's birthday... to be honest the day started like a disaster. I was in bud (4) video taping my sisters dance for her to see then i suddenly get this sms from paul telling me that his car dissappeared so we'll have to walk to 1u but he'll have the car for jen ai's bithday celebration... then i was ok with it i needed the exercise anyway.. but hehe my mum came to the rescue and dropped us off yay! i got some of my hk stuff while shopping with paul. its nice to shop with paul cause he makes me think 3 times before buying something...its like ...
nat : i need a scarf to protect myself from the hk winds...
paul : nat... there's a difference between need and want... so which one is it?
nat : *smiles... but its cold....
paul : your not going to the uk you know...
nat : but i'm skinny and tiny... i don't have much fats to help me fight off the cold...
paul : do you want it or need it...
nat : *evil glares....
well its good in a way ... it helps save money.... hehe and besides i like shopping with paul when his being gay ... he gives good opinions :)... i'm going to miss shopping with paul when i go to hong kong...
after shopping we went home and then refreshed and then disaster struck again... paul sms and called me to tell me that his car disaspeared again... this time his dad took it .. and the best part was that he left his wallet and ic in that car... so he can't possibly leave the hse anyway....so me and my white flowy skirt went by ourselves... i arrived late... sorry jen ai ... i had a fun time seeing all of them again :) it was nice catching up we should do it more often...
i don't have pics from that night... will get it from hr soon i guess...
4th July - hehe i woke up early and went to petaling street :)... one of my fav places to just walk around and look at stuff... i don't know why maybe cause its like one of the closest things to cha chu chat in bangkok ... anyway i was there shopping for my sisters dance costume for talent night... which i'm actually rather looking forward to cause this will be the first time i'm actually sitting down and watching the show... finally right? the only thing i couldn't stand was the sun... haha.... and i couldn't stand checking whether her costumes were in proper condition or not cause after a while i started feeling dizzy.. it was so shinny x)...
after that we went to brickfields to get more stuff for the costumes ... it was so cool... i like the indian/hippie vibe that i was getting from the street and its people... maybe ben's right.. i have a little tree hugger manifesting inside of me or something... i felt so indian in that street especially when we reached bombay point... i wanted to buy the indian earrings cause they looked so classy ... but then i was like i'm going to spend money soon at night ... nvm bombay point will always be there... maybe i'll go there before i go hong kong...
in the evening i invited some human's over for swimming and dinner... but there were many humans who couldn't make it... but either way i was nice to just relax in the water and let everything sink to the bottom... while your eyes are looking at the sky while imagining the possibilities of the future... dinner was fun we went to ming tien ...
haha i went all the way to tj's house which was in klang to play jim rummy :)... lyn was right it is addictive ... and klang air is so hazy... its like smoking without the cigratte... haha i'm not good at jim rummy cause my tiles were sucky but i had fun... haha.. :)... i came home later than usual but it didn't bother me or anyone else.. yes there were calls from parents but thats normal.. i'm a girl ... :) and i love being a girl... i can get away with almost anything well more than the amount of things boys can get away with...
5th July - CHEER 2009... lol BLITZERZ won champion ... they totally kicked ass ... the difference between first place and first runner up was 39 points... way kicking cheerleading ass if you asked me... hehe... it was fun i went with yl, max, lw, sy and brandon... and my sister... it was a really tight competition this year... you could feel the tension in the air... but sad to say there wasn't much hype about it for some reason.. the energy levels were down... but the usual senior teams such as dynamites, shirtliff , xavier and etc... put up a really good show to watch... i'm addicted to basky's now... i feel like youtubing to help my addiction... but i can seriously say that BLITZERZ did a really good job :) i liked the routine.. the music and choreography complimented each other very well...
in between i saw some familiar faces like jasmine, ben, justin, philip , arnold, mei li and jen ai... it was nice to see jasmine whose yl's cousin... she looks very fair and white now... i don't know why but for some reason everyone who came back from australia looks whiter... must be the air there or something... right now i need australian air and brazillian food or water or something... brazillian bods are HOT ... look at gisele...
after the whole cheer thing was over we decided to have dinner as yl wanted to eat dinner with jasmine.. so we went to ikea and had meat balls :)... the conversation we had was so nostalgic... we talked about all the stuff we did when we were in high school... it was so fun .. and then for some reason we talked about yl's wedding plans and her 'J' crushes... haha max had a glimpse of it...
speaking of max... max sorry for mixing your name up with marcus.. it was an accident... :D... hehe ...
it was a nice weekend overall... eventhough there were many days where i had to wake up early and such...
