to commemerate our first year together gether, buddy piggy and i decided to go to the zoo! yay!!! was planning to go for the night safari as well, but … i gotta attend a barbeque party at my lecturer’s place dat night, so it’s oni the morning zoo it seems. zoo was very very nice. entrance fee was super cheap (RM5). plenty of monyets swinging everywer (and ROAMING FREELY!). o yea, their fav pastime seems to be knocking down waste bins and hanging out around the bins (imagine oscar in sesame street). talk abt lepak-ing! and they hav PIGZ! lots and lots of them. sleeping all the time. waking up oni to makan if sumone threw them sumting. den doink! tumbang balik. man… so hakuna matata. and guess wut’s one of the common name for one of the species? babi bodoh. aww man… imagine living wit that name… ouch!
buddy piggy and me, and the *high* bear. he kept nodding the whole time!
Hakuna matata!

14-16th nov: langkawi
langkawi was rilly great. all four of us had a blast. the kaki botol mommy bought all diff beers and the choc addict us bought so much chocs dat wenever vr hungry, it’s alwiz chocs+beer! whew… tok abt un-HEALTHY diets! by the time we got bek, v got so sick of chocs! mom, the ever shopping kaki, bought so much stuf dat we had a hard time figuring out how to get past the customs and how to bring bek the barang-barangs! not to mention dat everyone bought so much chocs! so we came bek a couple of pounds heavier, and a couple of shades darker…
19th-22nd:pka camp at chefoo, cameron highlands
after langkawi, it’s camp’s turn! had a blast there wit all the ’sampat’ people there! (one of my roomie kept singing ‘(anyone whom she sees) is the sampat president, sampat president, sampat president…and so the song goes on on who’s the founder and the advisor and wut not of the sampat club’ ><’" and we even had the noisy ppl side and the quiet ppl side in the dorm (cz the noisy people sumhow endd up in the same dorm, and picked the same row of beds!’ well… u can imagine wut’s it’s like befor bedtime. phew… we had a great time listening to rilly harsh but awakening talks, playing crazy games and just enjoying the great company. was rilly glad dat i went there, made lotsa frens, and surprised a few (yep, they saw glimpses of the real lilin! lilin is actually very shy shy and quiet quiet ga…)
22nd nov: back home!
finally reached home today, the bas PANCIT-ed wen it was rilly near town. gee… got to see everyone, dad and lion and mom was hapi, i was hapi, and i bet even the goldfishes missed me =p but popo was admitted to the hospital earlier in the afternoon…
24th nov: bye popo…
yea, popo passed away today. it was hard for all of us. but at least she was quick, and peaceful. she had a tao-ist funeral, wit all the rituals and stuf. buddy piggy came to send her off. mom seemed okay outside, but even a few days after the funeral, she seemed so distant, and so… not here. so decided to gobek to usm later, and teman her.
30th nov: kitaro ‘love & peace’ concert
well, we bought the tix earlier, so we went up to genting to watch it anyway. it was cold up there, wit the wind blasting and rain. so mling, buddy piggy and me went lepak-ing in the indoor theme park while waiting for the show to start. went for the motion master- sum dinosaur movie… and… it was… lame… >< neway, it was rilly fun getting together wit all of them, (nying came to join us, and bear and her whole family was there too, minus her bro who’s in aussie). the trip down hill was rilly scary, cz it was raining, and rilly misty. er… CLOUDY! the visibility was like 20cm, and u cant see anything at all!!! man… kudos to nying for driving us home safely. phew… will rilly remember dat ride. it was the scariest ride in my entire life. and mind u, i dun get scared easily, cz i hav a very typical malaysian driver dad =p
