Cousin Christine's Wedding!!!!

On 16th May 2009, I went back to Penang to attend my cousin Christine's wedding.

I'm so happy for her that she found her other half to spend the rest of her life with, very very proud for her.

The wedding reception was held at a bar/restaurant Queen Elizabeth 2 a.k.a QE2. QE2 is located near the Penang Jetty, so it's facing out the sea, it was a beautiful wedding, Christine looked gorgeous in her wedding gown.... Unfortunately, I couldn't get the bride and groom together to snap a picture, there were too many people there :D... So here are the pictures I snap during the wedding reception.

All the best in life cousin Christine! :)

A 4-day Trip Back To Penang.

March 11, 2009

It was a bright and sunny day in KL. Mom and I began to load our backpacks in the car, we started our journey back to Penang at 12-ish afternoon. it was a long journey back home, and throughout the whole journey, my friends and I were constantly messaging on our mobile phone making plans for the later afternoon. All of the sudden when we reached Taiping, it was raining heavily, we could barely see the car in front of us, and everybody moved slow. The rain then subside after almost half an hour. We reached our destination at about five o'clock.

When mom and I reached home, we started to unload our stuff from the car and started to unpack. My friends Kitt Mun, Sher Ren, Jin Aun, Michelle, Shze Chen, Wayne & Yin Yee then reached my house not long after I reached home, we chit chat at home for awhile and made plans for the night. We plan to have our dinner at Manila's Place, located inside Gurney Plaza. it's a fancy, cozy, fine-dining restaurant that serves variety of western and oriental dishes. And I gotta tell you guys! it was DELICIOUS!. we enjoyed our dinner, catch up with each other for awhile, telling jokes, laughing out loud. soon after dinner while we were catching up, Yin Yee's new boyfriend, Oliver joined us. eventhough we just got to know each other, we had fun talking.

We actually made plans to go to a place along Gurney Drive called Coffee Island, but it was raining that night. so after dinner at Manila's Place, we went window shopping at the new-wing of Gurney Plaza. After half-an-hour or so, the rain stopped and I suggested, 'since the night's still young, why not we head to Coffee Island now?'.. and so we did *laughs* .We went there found a place to sit and started to order some drinks. Wayne, Michelle, Shze Chen and I ordered four different kinds of Italian Sodas (gee, I've forgotten the names of the sodas we drank *laughs*). After the hang out at Coffee Island, we decided to head home. I fetched Michelle back home, and Wayne and Shze Chen planned to overnight at my place. It was a tiring day after the 3 and the half hour journey on highway, but I had fun. It was nice catching up with you guys, and Oliver, nice to know you :D

March 12, 2009

It was results day for our 2008's SPM examinations. everybody was nervous. Wayne, Shze Chen and I went to school together to take our results, I was the first to get my results. After we got our result Michelle, Shze Chen and Wayne got in my car and we were looking through our school records. We were satisfied we our results. We drove through McD's drive through counter and bought our lunch as everybody's in the mood for McD. We had our lunch and planned to head to Red Box in Gurney Plaza for karaoke, but too bad, there were a lot of other people who wants to celebrate for 'knowing their results at last' too :D.. So since we were in Gurney already, we went shopping for awhile. During dinner time, we head to Mizi's Bistro located at New World Park. after dinner, there was a breakdance competition or performance, I'm not sure what was it. Soon after that, we head home to rest, Shze Chen and Wayne decided to overnight at my place.

March 13, 2009

We made plans to go to the beach today, but we changed our mind. in the morning I fetched Shze Chen and Wayne to the near-by cafes to buy themselves lunch as I had to meet up my godparents for lunch today. I brought my godparents to the same place as I had dinner with Wayne, Mich, and Shze Chen last night, Mizi's Bistro. I really enjoyed myself with them as we had not seen each other for a month or more now. after lunch, I planned to go shopping with my godma, I thought of Wayne and Shze Chen being at home, so I head home to fetch them and we headed to Gurney again. Wayne and Shze Chen decided to walk themselves, so I accompanied my godma, we went shopping for hours, and I got myself a long-blouse, my godma too, got herself one. We head home and waited for Michelle. When Michelle reached my place it was near six o'clock, we were discussing where to eat for dinner, Shze Chen suddenly had an idea to bring us to a place that serves Western food around Pulau Tikus area. I ordered Chicken Chop, and I must admit, it's delicious. thanks for introducing, Shze Chen. :)

After dinner it was around half-past-eight, we head to Hainan Town because I heard they have this salsa night thing going on every Friday night, and i'm a big fan of Salsa, we went there and sat down, I ordered myself an Ice Lemon Tea, I think that's the cheapest drink they have, mineral water cost RM8 there, geez. I asked the waitress 'what time will the Salsa start?' and she told me that it starts only after 10 or sometimes 11, and that's hours away, so we decided not to wait for the salsa and head home. Michelle overnight at my place that night.

March 14, 2009

It's my last day to hang-out with my friends. Wayne, Shze Chen, Michelle and I woke up late today, we woke up around 11a.m. when we were still in our PJs Kitt Mun called up and asked whether we want to join him and Danny to Queensbay Mall and that they are already outside my house. So we agreed to join them and have our lunch there at the mall. We went to this new restaurant, Canton-i. they serve only chinese cuisine. It's my first time dining there, it's quite pricy there, but the food was good. After lunch, we walked around the mall for awhile and left at 4. It was time for goodbyes. I fetch Michelle and Shze Chen home and Wayne met up with his mom at the mall. after the hang-out I called-up my boyfriend's mom to see whether is she home cause I want to drop-by at her place. I drove to Air Itam to her house and we talked for quite awhile, we then decided to have dinner nearby, so we went to Asia Cafe near Penang Hill to have our dinner. after dinner I head home for awhile and rest. at around 9 o'clock, i'm supposed to meet up with my boyfriend's best friend and his girlfriend, Eugene and Shalini, at Old Town Cafe located at E-Gate, we had drinks and chit chat for awhile. at around 10-ish we said goodbye and head home. Thanks for the drinks Eugene. :)

A Young and Born-talented Boy.

Yesterday as I was browsing in Facebook, I received a message from my friend, Andrew. He asked me to go check out this boy name Sungha Jung. So, I log on to YouTube and I start searching for his videos. And I've gotta tell you. This boy WOW-ed me, this boy inspired me.

He is only at his tender age of eleven, born and raised and still living in South Korea. this prodigy started playing less than three years ago after watching his dad play guitar for years before that. Now, whenever Sungha isn't in class, he's either practicing with his custom-made guitar (to fit his small body) and posting his covers on youtube, or appearing on talent shows like Korea's Star King.

You guys gotta check him out. HE IS AWESOME!

Friendship Poem

As I was browsing through poem after poem, I came about this particular poem which tingle my heart of my friends in Penang, and I can't help it but to share with you all, so this goes out to all my friends in Penang!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Times We Had Together (to all schoolmates)

It's funny how time flies with a blink of an eye, I still remember things we talked about and wished when we're in Form 1, we always imagined about how great it'll be if we're like those seniors, last year in high school, no more stacks of homework, moutains of text books and revision books. no more parents nagging when it's near to examination month. But now that we're facing the final days of high school, the feelings that I have is nothing like what I expected 5 years ago. Though I am glad to get rid of those piled up books, and no more hours and hours back to back afterschool tuition. Think again... I actually feel sad not being able to see friends who I see everyday as often as I want to, to share secrets with close friends and to share ups and downs, laughter and tears together.

It's been 5 years in high school and each and every one of you are like my family. We may lost contact with some friends in years to come (hopefully not) but just so you know, friendship that we share throughout the years shall always remain with me and shall never be forgotten. Well, to all my friends, keep in touch, all the best in your education/career, may life treat you well. and most of all God bless.


with lots of love,
Steffenie
