Paz' birthday song dedication

Angel of Mine by Monica (cover) - Paz

 
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of Mine

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now, you helped me grow

Chorus:
You came into my life
Sent from above
When I lost the hope
You show my love
I'm checkin for you
Boy your right on time
Angel of Mine

Nothing means more to me then what we share
No one in this world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine

What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show

(Chorus)

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if they were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make
I only share it with you
You, You, You, You

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

(Chorus)

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now you helped me grow
I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Checkin' for you boy your right on time
Angel of Mine

teen no more, part #3

O8O811 - Marina 姐姐's 26th Birthday.

Last Sunday, I went to a family birthday celebration dinner for my cousin, Marina, and I. We went to Zilver Seafood Restaurant for dinner. I'm sorry to say but their services wasn't that good. It may be because of the event that was held that night but seriously, Can they be so busy that they made us serve our own food and stuff? The carpet floor was stained with various types wines, drinks, food and sauce. They were slow with their services, and when we finally receive our food, that pretty much just dropped it onto the round  glass spinner. Heck! We even have to ask for a round glass spinner, rather them having already provided us one. They may have had quite a few Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities visit their restaurant, but that doesn't make them a 5 star restaurant. 

For once, rather than just being satisfied with the food, I enjoyed my company. I sat next to Andrew, so I was able to talk to him more. It was nice getting to know him more since I've barely talked to him in the past, even if he was a family friend. I guess we connect in a way that we both sometimes feel that we're outsiders from the family. Well, for my part, I am part of the family, but I guess sometimes I don't really feel connected at family dinners because I just didn't really find interest or understanding in their conversations. I guess I talked particularly more than usual since half the dinner conversation was about me and Tae LOL. I didn't ask Tae along because I felt it was too early and he had work as well. May be he can join us next time =).

I gave Marina these cute doggie patterned PJs, which she quite like, and Marina and William chipped in a got me a GPS =D !!! I'm very happy !!! Now I'll won't get lost again when I'm driving !!! They bought the Navman GPS from JB Hi-5, and they've also given me the receipt in case something happens. The warrant's for 2 years =D. Thank you !!!

 

Unfortunately, they forgot to order chili pipis with XO sauce. When they did order it, the restaurant ran out =(. So, to make up for it,William took me to Passionflower for ice cream =). I had 2 scoops of sesame and green tea ice cream =). We all went our separate ways home after that. I had a wonderful night =). Unfortunately, my aunt ran through a red light and the security camera caught her. The lights were yellow/orange (whatever colour you want to call it) and my aunt thought she could make it. She passed the line, but the lights turned red before she crossed to the other side. Yeah... it's best not to speed past a yellow light. 

teen no more, part #1

Yes. Unfortunately, I am not a teenage anymore as I have now hit my 20s. So good bye teens and welcome twenties *sigh*. Even though I've turned 20 *cringe* I've received a couple of pleasant surprises and experienced a couple of touching moments =). Many thanks to my friends for those sweet and touching birthday messages via emails, text messages and facebook =). It means a lot to me that you remembered =). Rather than just celebrating it once, I celebrated it a couple of times. Hence, I'll just post each of those celebrations on a different blog post, rather than having it all in one long post =).

On my actual birthday, last Thursday, Tae came over to my house to hang out until around 5:30PM. By then, we went out to Mounties for buffet as my birthday dinner =). It's been a while since I last went to a buffet, and it's still one of my favourite styles of eating hahaha =D. I drove us there and back that night =) though I guess I still need to learn to read the road signs or remember how to get to places lol. Tae stayed over for a couple more hours before he left. Although I believed that he didn't get me anything, he bought me a souvenir when he wen to the Gold Coast the other week. He bought me a dessert wine; a rose flavoured Moseato from the Cedar Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery. The wine was sweet and the smell of rose was quite light, I quite like it. Though, I think it's best to sip it rather than gulp it down because I gulped it down once and I thought I was going to get a sugar rush O_o lol. 

He also bought me a Ralph Lauren gift box with the blue coloured Ralph Lauren perfume, a shimmering body lotion and a shower gel. He said that he liked the smell of that perfume, so he got it for me =). I quite like it to even though it's not the type of smell I usually preferred wearing; I usually like a slightly sweet, fruity type of smell, but this one had more of a musky type of smell? I can't really explain it. It does have this hint of sweetness in this smell, but it's just more musky or something lol. I can't really explain the scent, but I can describe what it makes me feel like - mature, womanly and sophisticated =P. Either way, I love it, so thanks Tae =).

I felt really happy that Tae was there with me on my birthday. I'm really grateful and thankful towards him, it meant a lot to me that he was there to celebrate my birthday with me =).

Diary Entry #15: Farewell family, farewell Malaysia

Dear Diary,

That morning, the whole family, except cousin Mun Loong (he was working), went to Levain again for breakfast. And again, I ordered more bread than I could handle. I didn't even finish the bread from last time. I wonder if it's overdue now =/. We went shopping after breakfast. The main purpose was to buy my Super Junior merchandises MWUAHAHA >=D The shop that we went to was more expensive than the ones we usually went to, but they had majority of their CDs/DVDs and had other Super Junior merchandises as well. I went crazy. I wish I bought the whole shop ^_^ but I didn't have enough money. I was crazy enough to buy a t-shirt with their faces on it =P. I planned on going to sleep with it >=D. My relatives laughed at me because I was squealing so much ^_^". I really wish I could stay until March because Super Junior was having a concert in the middle of March in Malaysia T_T. I spent over ~ RM $300, which was ~ AU $100 ... I must've been out of my mind. Well, at least it's only $100, if it was in Australia, I would've been only able to buy 1 or 2 CD/DVD for $100 =P. I don't regret it. 

We went home and I officially finished packing up. I spent rest of the afternoon on the computer, watching things and all. Everyone else was sleeping, watching television or relaxing. 

At around 5PM, we left to aunt's brother's place of Zhi Lun's 7th birthday party. We brought my luggage as well since we were going straight to the airport afterward. Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to forget my camera charger, so my uncle drove back home to get it for me. I felt bad and thankful toward my uncle; bad because I made him go back, and thankful because he did.

Other cousins of Zhi Lun were already there. They were all my second cousins since they were my cousins' cousins. It was a party for close friends and family only. The food was pretty nice, buffet-styled. Auntie, my aunt's brother's wife, was into Korean shows =D YAY she was also into 2PM for their muscular physique. Strange to know a middle-aged married woman into the Korean Wave hahaha. But I'm happy to know I'm not alone. On television, there was this Korean show that was kind of emotional; it was able these workers from 3rd world countries who went to Korea to work and have been away from their family for years. The producer of the shower actually went to each of their families and made a video for them. One of them actually even get to see his family again. Maybe the sense of longing, sadness, yearning and unity got to me because I ended up shedding a few tears. Many things went through my head at the time and I couldn't help but feel upset for a while. But because it was my last day there, and I was at a birthday party, I tried to get over it, and I did =). I hand fun playing with my cousins and second cousins. I don't think Zhi Lun liked my present as much as the plane. It was a stationary set, and he was a little boy... of course I'd like the plane as well. But hopefully, he'll use the set once he starts school. We took a couple of family photos before finally leaving at around 8PM. Strange how when I arrived to Malaysia it rained, and now that I was leaving, it also rained. Though, this time the rain was a bit heavier; there was even thunder and lightning.

To kill time, I was singing throughout half the trip to the airport =P. My cousins sometimes joined in. We also played around a bit too, like tickling each other and all. Somehow, I feel like it's their way of reassuring me; like some kind of affectionate display that meant 'I had fun with you around;''I'll miss you' and 'take care'. Before we made it to the airport, cousin San San called cousin Mun Loong for me so that i could bid him farewell since he couldn't see me off.

When we got to the airport, we checked in. Luckily, they allowed me to check in 2 bags instead of one, even though it was just over 20 KGs (I wasn't suppose to have more than 20KGs checked in). And again, my cousin asked if I could have some assistance to help me throughout the process. How embarrassing T_T. But I'm grateful too =). 

We went to a near by cafe to rest a bit. We were also waiting for cousin Mun Hong and his girlfriend. I felt grateful but sorry at the same time; grateful because they could make it to see me off, but sorry because I'm sure I interfered with their plans for that day =(. I apologize. The girlfriend was nice enough to buy me a toy before I left. It was some kind of M&Ms chocolate machine where I put chocolate inside and press some stuff for chocolate to come out. Unfortunately, the chocolate wasn't already in it, but I'm still thankful =D. We took a couple of family photos before we said our goodbyes. I gave them all a hug and said goodbye, but stupidly, I forgot to thank them for every thing. Not that I wasn't thankful, but it just slipped out of my mind. The assistance lady was waiting and all, and things felt like a rush. That was my only regret =(. Though I did message my cousin later to tell everyone 'thank you' on my stead =) hopefully she did.

Again, I was sitting next to the aisle. This time, I was sitting next to a family with a young boy. He was cute =). Anyways, throughout the whole trip, I didn't sleep at all. I was too busy reading 'Angel' that I completely forgot. When I was just about to have a quick nap, someone opened their windows up and it was daylight. Seriously, I was 'WTHing' because I seriously didn't expect time to fly that quickly. For ~8 hours, I spent it reading a book, and i didn't even get to half way either. Not only was I lost in time, but I was an extremely slow reader too. I knew i was slow, but I didn't know I was THAT slow >.>. To be honest, the food wasn't as great as the first trip I made, to Malaysia, so end up not eating much. I honestly tried, but I really couldn't. I also felt a bit dizzy as well, unlike the first trip. I guess I was still feeling a bit sick. 

Fowati Koten,

FiONA =).

Diary Entry #9: Twin Towers, here I come

Dear Diary,


Today's objective was to buy camera, which was chipped in by the family. But before that,  2nd auntie, cousin San San and I went to eat breakfast with 3rd auntie and cousin Mun Hong at a restaurant close by to 3rd auntie's house. We went shopping after that. We bought the camera, which was a Canon IXUS 130 =). It's almost exactly like cousin Mun Hong's camera. Including a protective screen cover and a 4GB DS, it was RM $799. It had a lot of functions to play around with, like a miniature affect and a fish-eye affect, etc. =D. I really like the camera because not only was it better than my previous one, but also because it was from the entire family. I'm very grateful and thankful towards my family because they made me feel loved and special; I'm very happy =). I'm also thankful towards my 3rd aunt for buying me a pair of new shoes too =). We did quite a lot of shopping today; we mostly shopped for shoes... well, I did anyways =P. I wonder how I'm going to back all these shoes into my luggage =/.

 My red envelope money from my family for this CNY =D.

My new camera =D - Canon IXU 130 =D !!!

 Testing out my new camera =).

Cousin Mun Hong and 3rd auntie went home with us for dinner. Uncle did the cooking this time =). After dinner, we went out to KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre/Twin Towers) for some sight-seeing time. I got a new pair of Rip Curl thongs using the coupon given by cousin Mun Loong along the way =D. Even in a different country, it's still a pretty expensive brand. After driving 3rd aunt home, we met up with cousin Mun Hong's friends and had some midnight snacks at a street side Mamak store. Cousin Mun Hong and friends have been together since primary school, so I guess they're pretty good old friends =) That's pretty lucky to have friends since primary school =). Although they mostly spoke in Mandarin, I thought they were pretty friendly and funny people =). I knew because my cousins were translating, what they were saying, to me. One of them were a couple about to get married =D they even asked me to come up with a weird/unique name for their child, but we didn't really decide on one LOL. After a while, we went our separates. Unfortunately, we couldn't start on making tiramisu because we didn't get to buy all the ingredients that day. But that's okay, there's always tomorrow. Another day gone.

 Famous Amos, supposedly really popular.

 Choc-chipped flavoured. It's a shame I didn't finish it before I came back =(. Apparently, it kind of expensive too, for biscuits =(.

 It's like a hot pot food store on the side of the street =D.

The famous Twin Towers of Malaysia.

 This was where cousin Mun Hong used to work at, some high class hotel or something =S I forgot the name xP.

A Mamak store on the side of the street.

Cousin Mun Hong's friends, cousin San San and I =) (cousin Mun Hong was taking the photo).

Ahoj
FiONA =).

PS. Thanks cousin Mun Hong for the photos =).

Diary Entry #8: Up, up and away!

Dear Diary,


Today was the day we visit Genting, or what Chinese people call 'wun dang' (foggy mountain top). Before the road trip, we had yumcha at a nearby restaurant. Most of the dishes had prawn in them since it's one of my favourites. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it all because there were too many dishes, and my stomach still felt a bit sick.

After breakfast, uncle, aunt, cousin San San and I went to Genting. Cousin Mun Fei and Mun Loong couldn't come because they both had work. Cousin Mun Hong called while we were on the way there. I tried to persuade him, but nothing worked. Not even when I said I wouldn't talk to him anymore. But that's okay, I understand that he had work to do. I feel quite bad for him because he works very hard for very odd hours. He's a baker who specializes in making bread, so his job's quite laborious. And he's so skinny >.< !!! He's practically just skin and bones =( he needs to eat more >=( !!! OH OH OH! His girlfriend is also a baker who specializes in baking cakes. Apparently, she's his junior =). I wish them both lots and lots of happiness =D. Speaking of girlfriend, she works at a restaurant in Genting! That Mun Hong, even if his girlfriend is in Genting, he STILL wouldn't go with us >=( lol I guess he really couldn't get away from work. 


They sure didn't name it wrong when they called it 'wun dang;' it was really foggy. But luckily, it wasn't foggy enough to stop the rides. They say that if it gets too foggy, they wouldn't open the theme park because it'd be dangerous. My aunt said that, at times, it can get so foggy that you could barely see pass your hands =S. We had some hot tea to warm up first; it was kind of cold. They tried to snuggle my into the casino, but it didn't work. Unlike Australia, the minimum age required to enter was 21; I'm only 19. It was kind of difficult for me to look older because 1. I was wearing kid-like clothings and 2. I have a young looking face. But rather than accepting failure, we decided to try again, and this time it worked ! We deducted that because they were in the middle of changing shifts, it was easier for us to get in. I started laughing, but cousin San San told me to not laugh and not look back, just keep walking forward =P. Inside, we played the pokie machines. To be honest, I still don't find pressing buttons and waiting for a jackpot that addictive. Now that's a good thing, or else I would've gone broke. Then again, it was my aunt's money I was using LOL ^_^'. Aunt liked playing pokie machines, so she bet quite a lot. It didn't matter because she won it all back anyways =). 

Miniature model of the theme park.

Made from recycled bottles =D how resourceful is that?!

While uncle aunt were gambling in the casino, cousin San San and I went to the theme park. We bought a ticket for both indoor and outdoor parks. Most of the time, we were outside. The rides were pretty fun, it was just that we had to wait a while to play them since it was so busy. There was a 'Flying Coaster' ride that I forced my cousin to ride with me =). It was kind of scary, but I was laughing more than I was screaming. I was laughing because it was funny hearing my cousin scream, not daring to open her eyes for the entire ride xD. I got K.O'd at the 'Pirate Ship' ride. I didn't mind tossing and turning rides, fast rides, up and down rides, but back and forth rides make me dizzy =S. Thankfully, it wasn't even 36O degrees, or else I would've vomited on the ride =S. Now that wouldn't have been a pretty sight to see. 

We walked around, took photos and looked at animals. They were show casing a yellow and white snake and a lizard (I'd provide the names if I knew them). While I ran towards them, my cousin ran the other way. She's afraid of reptiles and big dogs. Just like aunt and my mum, but my mum's not afraid of big dogs though. I had the urge to run over to her when I held the snake and lizard, but I didn't. It would've been to slack =P. A fascinating merchandise I found was wax hands, as in your own hands being the foundation for the wax. Seeing that Australia didn't have any, I decided to make one myself and bring it back here =). I just hope they'll let me pass the security check with it =S They might think I actually chopped someone's hand off and placed it into my luggage, or think that I shoved drugged into it =/. If that does happen, I'm gonna make them pay for not only the hand, but the plane ticket to go back to Malaysia, to make another wax hand, and then come back >=) . 

My waxed hand =D the 'Star Trek' sign =D !

They're so cute =D !!!

 

 

This was only half, I couldn't take it all in one shot, so I just took the picture of the scarier looking side =).

This was my K.O. *sigh*.

Since we were getting tired, we decided to go play on the inside instead. After watching a 3D movie, we met up with aunt and uncle to eat dinner. We had lunch at this very fancy looking restaurant called 'The Olive.' The interior design was quite classy, quite elegant. I felt I was inappropriately dressed =S. We had an a full course meal: appetizer, entree, soup, main course and dessert; they all tasted quite delicious. The soup was a tad bit salty for my taste, but it wasn't bad. The entree was some kind of duck dish. There was this particular meat that was very soft, very tender; it practically melted in your mouth. It was nothing like any other meat I've tasted. I asked what it was and they told me it was duck liver. I almost wanted to vomit. Not because it tasted bad, but just the thought of eating something that wasn't meat, muscle or skin just turned me off. But I continued eating anyways because it was rude not to finish what was on my plate. I guess my stomach wasn't really with me because I couldn't finish my tender Angus beef (I think it was =S). My uncle ate the rest of my meat. To be honest, I vomited a couple of times today. I guess my flu was really getting to me =/. Aunt paid with her credit points from her Genting card. 

3D short film place.

The 4 meat slices were duck liver... =S.

 I think this one was mine ... tender.

 Chocolate truffles =D.

Chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and tri-chocolate pocky look-alike... ? =S

The 'God of Fortune and Money,' I think?

 That's actually the back, but it's a decorative tree made of recycled bottles =D.

 

After dinner, we continued to play some more indoor games. We went on this ride where people sat on different, appealing carriages to be carried around the building. We didn't travel around the entire building, only a part of it, so the ride was kind of short =/. Our last ride was the indoor rollercoaster ride. This ride actually gave us quite a surprise. At first, it was going quite slowly, so I thought it would be a relaxing ride to take the view of the inside, which is quite beautiful and spectacular actually, even the ceiling was amazing (they painted it like the sky). Then all of the sudden, the rollercoaster sped up O_O. Around a building, and then another. The turn was quite sharp too. My cousin and I screamed a bit, then started laughing. We were seriously surprised and startled by the sudden turns and all =). After the ride, we went to buy souvenirs. Aunt also paid with her credit points. I guess she had a lot of credit points LOL =). They bought me a carousel that played an interesting song =) I really like it =). It was a bit cheaper than the ones in Australia. Thank you auntie =). We went home after that. Another day gone.


Dia leibh
FiONA =).

PS. Some of their decorations are made from recycled plastic bottles and all =D. How resourceful =D !!!
