Reporting from Le Meridien,Khao Lak, Thailand
Yes, Im in Thailand now. And today is suppose to be my last night over here. But now, Im not too sure. Because, I found out that somehow, the phuket airport is being locked down. No flights can fly in and out. Think its something to do with the demonstrations by the people and all.Bout the government and stuff like that.
Even my aunt who is suppose to leave to Bangkok tonight couldnt since the airport is closed. Loads of people are stranded and all. And now, we're not even sure if we can fly out tomorrow.
YIKES! I dont want to start my puasa month over heeeere. WORST place!
With all the good food and all.wuuuuu.
But shopping would be a plus point. good therapy. Eventhough its in Patong Beach, about 1 1/2 hr drive from our place. Sheeesh. splurged 2,000 baht over there. (and im still wanting more.NOT satisfied)
Well ok...Gotta go already. just came back from a gooood,looooong spa treatment.
(and I need to steal my mom's hairbrush before she gets back from her session.) =P
Toodledadaa!!
will report more once I get back. (IF i get back.teehee)

I keep forgetting about the trip to Thailand. And just realized its not in Malaysia therefore, it'll be ROAMING CALLS!
Im left with another, 6 hours till I have to leave the house for the airport. Now its 10pm, that means I have to leave for the airport at 4am!!! Geeez....i curse these international flights with AirAsia. -.-
The darn plane leaves at 7am. So what am I gonna be doing for the next, 2 hours?!?
My luggage bag is left open, and empty. Gosh. To think what to bring? for the next 5 days??? Difficult...
** I am currently thinking what songs to put on my IPOD**
Well to fill up this post.Let me just summarize the reason of going for this trip. (It was a really last minute thing by the way)
My aunt, Aunty Yam, has been asking my dad to bring us to Thailand and stay at her hotel(Meridien...dont playplay) in khau lak (im still thinking how its spelt).So she asked again and my dad finally decided to bring us there. (HOORAY!) In my family(as in from my dad's side) we were the only ones who havent been there. So yeah.might as well right. =)
Yeahh.So when we get back, it'll be a night flight. And the next day, PUASA! what a way to end your holidays huh?
Hrmm. Guess I'll be back and fasting! So if I cant get any internet connection there or Im just to blardy lazy to blog and enjoying myself too much, till then! =D

This is my nephew,(the one boy out of his three other sisters). The name's Ariff Hakimi. I call him Kimi. Somehow I can click/'control' the boy alil bit more easily than his female counterparts. probably because I can do anything rough; campak him here and there, and he's still laughing.
So a tahlil is basically a, err, 'ritual'(?)(i cant seem to find the right word,but gonna stick to tht for now) where people would come and read the Yassin(prayers and all) for the ones who had passed on.(in this case, for my late grandparents). so yes, I couldnt join in because of ehemehem, therefore I was in the kitchen with the rest of the ehemehem gang, somehow including my uncle from Singapore.(teehee..) And we took care of the nieces and nephew. I somehow got stuck with the nephew; Kimi. So yeah we played abit and all, told him to keep quiet if he was making too much of noise. Then we somehow ended up sitting near the entrance of the kitchen and watched as the others recite the yassin. Kimi somehow became a good boy and just sat at my lap,quietly. So I just relaxed. then my cousin(the mother) came with the youngest baby girl; Kira. Needed to change her diapers and all. so we just watched as she was doing her thing when suddenly, Kimi had to say it oh-so-loudly ;
"Eeee...tu...pe..pek.. Kiya (Kira)...." - (in english)- "Thats Kira's vagina..."
I just stared at him. And so did the maid. I saw some eyes from outside looking over towards us, but they just continued with the prayers.I tried to hold back my laughter. trying to register the fact that this is coming out of a one year old.
Well, we had the tahlil over at Abang Aish's house(which is right next to Mama's.but eyeah). Mom decided to leave early so that we could help out. Early is suppose to mean 2-3pm. But then early became 5:30. The rain and all. Cant be helped. So it was me, mom and Fadz. Drove to ampang point to get the fruits. (I just found out how to know if the honeydew is sweet. Smell its butt! direct translation of malay "bau bontot dia") Seriously.You can actually smell the sweetness! (dont do that to a person's butt to know how sweet he/she is alright. )
Then yeah.the tahlil went on and all. My uncle from Singapore, Chik Sheik, who joined us other ladies in the kitchen made a funny yet truthful statement;
"In Malaysia, if you called 10 people to come for a tahlil, atleast 7-8 people woul d know how to read the Yassin. If you call 10 people to come for a tahlil in Singapore, all 10 of them wont be able to read!"
which in his case, includes himself too. teehee. =P
Its funny how eventhough theyre just next door, it turns out like that.In my uncle's explanation, its just because majority of the population are chinese, and everyone would go all english over there. True I guess.
Anyways, everything ended around 10.(doesnt mean i get to go home at 10) ended up going back at 1am.how sleeeeeeepy. And it felt 'too' comfortable to sleep with my baju kurung.

So what do sisters(who dont even look alike.probably from the major age gap of 7) do when they are freaking bored in the car and have to wait for people?
- open up my bag.
- dig up some stuff that might be an interesting piece at that moment.
- stares at the point-and-shoot Olympus camera in my grasp.
back to the camwhoring session.
testing camera "hantu way"
and we have successfully kidnapped the man at the back seat.

well, it seems Im officially legal now. To do...whatever that above 18 can do.
yup. turned 18.finally, I can get my passport done on my own without my parent's signature.
Anyhow anywho. How my 18th birthday went?practically just another ordinary weekday. except that at midnight my family got me to blow off cupcakes(?) which I seriously had no idea it was arranged to look '18'.(really,you wouldnt notice.) Then, my cousin and khal came along.The presents?well from my dad he told me to get whatever I wanted(which he somehow insisted me to get a bag.dont ask.) and he'll pay for it.(ended up shopping at Robinsons.it was ok) From mum got myself a Paul Frank jacket(wuuuu expensive monkey) and a Fossil watch(superb nice!its not white,and its metal, so it wont get dirty.AT ALL!ekeke). Earlier I already received a present from Khal. Gave me a Flesh IMP long shirt(NICE!) which he bought during his trip to Singapore. And from the rest of the people, "ditangguh sehingga masa yang akan datang", or so they say. =P
Well, during my birthday, thought I wouldnt be doing anything. But then ms ure3ya made a last min plan and asked if I wanted to lepak at KLCC.(will do) got soph and fadz to come along. Apan and Vie came aswell.I came late.Had to wait for the bathroom ppl to finish things up(dont ask as well) We made alot of undecisive moves around KLCC.So we ended up heading to ampang point area and just ate at Naili's, and play some pool(its been awhile) and then bowling.After sending everyone back home it was already 1am or so?teehee.
Me and Vie
Nyek.Gilo kamo nih...

The next day was abang aish's birthday!! Yes, our birthdays are a day apart.Since I was young we would always celebrate together. Now, not so much. But yea, got a call from Baba(my uncle) asked me to drop by their house and celebrate with Abang. Roast chicken was superduper gillalistikally GOOD! YUMMY~ Didnt get to take pics from this day though. Teehee.

Lalala. I found a great guy.
Because he recreated that very hateful song I despise(ESPECIALLY the video clip) Lil' Wayne- Lollipop. Blehhh!!! Hate hate. He tak sedar diri. Number one example of a POYO rapper. blekk blekk.
Anyways, as I was saying; this dude's name is Dave Days.(im guessing.either its his name or its his band name.) He made the Lollipop song to sound, nice! to my taste that is. Thats because he made it sound punk rock-ish. And he declares himself a sort of comedian. Well you can check his whole page here
For now, here are the videos of 2 favourite songs from him . The first one is a cover of Alicia Keys- No One and the 2nd the cover of the despiteful song Lil' Wayne-Lollipop.
Wokie Dokie. ENJOY!

I just read something very interesting(and funny) from Tan's blog. comic strip about the blood types. And she declared me as blood type B! (which is true by the way. I probably told her before that Im a B. kekeke =P) When I read it I was imagining my classmates as the characters hence, making it even more funny. I can imagine Tan being the AB. ehehehe =P
Here's some of the extracts from the comic strip. To see more go to this site (http://www.donnadaritan.com/2008/06/different-blood-types-comic.html )

Yes, I went to Pulau Redang for the holidays. (well, for 4 days of my holiday that is)
Considering that we had to LEAVE the house by 5AM since our flight is at 7AM(usual AirAsia) we decided to just catch a late night movie(The Dark Knight. btw, good movie!TRUST THE REVIEWS!) and not sleep. The movie ended around 3 something, which left me around 1 1/2 hrs to pack my stuff and get ready.(yes i know i know, Im a last minute person.)
The cab came and took us to LCCT and by 7 something we were off. None of the air stewards/stewardess were good looking this time. (more like usual SCARY-too-much-make-up kinds.)
We got to the Terengganu airport and found ourselves stuck with 2/3 of the people in the flight , now in a bus, heading to the same resort; Laguna Redang. And from there, I found out that Pulau Redang, is SERIOUSLY too commercialized(too crowded). A no-no for me.
The guy who was dumping our bags like nobody's business
My fellow friend at the jetty.
This is another one of my boydguard/friend. =P
After the looooong boat ride, it was nice to get a funny dude trying to talk about the hotel facilities and what not after that. "When you see shark,don't panic...If you panic,the shark will panic also...All the sharks here are vegetarian sharks...",he said with his Malay accent. "For you who are wearing specs,contact lense etc.. you can get the power masks.Get the correct one, if not you see small fish big,and big fish small..then big fish will ngapp you." nyehhh =/
Mom looking sick already
I didnt feel like I was in Malaysia, instead on an island somewhere in China.(not being racist or whatever, just stating the fact that 3/4 of the tourists there were really from mainland China. or Taiwan, or something. The other 1/4 were Koreans)
And NOT sleeping the day before your trip to an island is a No-No too. Because when we finally got our room at 2pm after lunch, I pengsan till almost 7 or something. And it was already time for dinner. Well, after that we hang around the place where the band was playing(they sucked,REALLY! with the karaoke music and all.) Good thing the area was nice enough.
Aahakx!you dah terbakar!!! =P
Yes,I have proof that I pengsan the whole day.
View from the eating place
Breakfast yumyum!
Well the following days were more productive. Had abit of a snorkeling time just at the beach infront of the resort. And at night those company people entertained us since they were having some talent night and crap.(still, WAY better than the band)
FISHIIEE!
And Here comes the aliens...
After snorkeling,OFCOURSE you need a cuppa milo ais!
The next day we went for the snorkeling trip where they kinda dropped us in the middle of the sea instead of anchoring at the beach. Mom was feeling waaay sick so she had to go back to the boat.(which I found out later she voumitted when she got on) Sis and I enjoyed the sea. Sooo many fishieees. (and soooo many people too.) the abang who was one of the guides, suddenly popped one of these sea cucumber thingy infront of my face.SHOCKED! but cute.He squeezed it and water came out.teehee.
Well, after what felt like 1/2 hr but actually more than that, it was time for us to get back on the boat. Dad looked sicked already. When we got back to the resort, Mum and Dad went back to the room while sis and I were suppose to return the towels. We felt like having a drink at the place infront of the beach. After awhile I suggested to lay down at the beach forawhile, considering that the next day we were gonna go back already. It was darn relaxing. And because of that, suggested that we might as well take a dip. it was surprisingly COLD!(at 5PM,imagine that.) But nice. The waves at Redang were CRAZY compared to Perhentian. Damn fun though. Wish had that bodyboard thingy.
Oh yeah,the guy sitting behind me was my bodyguard during the trip.U like??kekekee
OooOOoo...fish attack!!!
kiss me fishie kiss me!!
sea cucumber!!
oh my...it looks further when youre there...
And since we both didnt bring our phones, we didnt get disturbed from zee parents.(ehehh) Went back to the room before 7-ish, and mom looked panic when she opened the door. Good thing she was too sick to scold. (ehehhehhh...)
Yeah, got ready for the last dinner and we all just hang around the beach after that.Had nice banana smoothie and ice kacangs.
The last day we decided to go around Kuala Terengganu(my actual kampung if youre looking at my dad's side.This was my FIRST time to actually GO there.) Rented a car(got a wira.good enough) Sis had to drive since my dad felt sick(voumitted alot) and we headed to some place near the pasar or something. Had a jetty. We had our lunch there and waited for one of dad's cousin aka My Uncle( Uncle Zainul, i think) who I found out later having 9 children(which means my cousins) with 2 wives(whom both I met on that day) =/
He was really nice.Reminded me of Uncle Sydney(may he rest in peace). Took us to the Istana Kecil. A really hidden place in town, and very kampung-ish but cozy. I liked it. =)
Met Uncle Mat.(who looks like Encik Kamal from Fairview.-.-') Well, we went and did some shopping at the pasar.(batik soooo nice) Tons of kraftangans and shizz. Then we went to Masjid Kristal(Crystal Mosque) which was located in the Taman Tamadun Islam.Lots of miniature sized mosque.(Mom said,"so this is where the state's money went to".) Seriously, its really nice and all, but, whats the use??
Anyways. Then we went to the keropok lekor place, dad bought like two boxes to bring back.
And we got to eat nasi dagang. YUMM!
one part of the istana kecil.ehekx =P
(L-R) Me dad, Uncle Mat, Uncle Zainul

Uncle Zainul's 2nd wife with her kids.(I also met the first wife and her kids aswell)
Now, we're back in KL. Yawwnnn...
