lovely song & pretty interesting lyrics..

"Come Home"

[Verse 1]
Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So i say you’ll..

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oh

[Verse 2]
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Oh

[Interlude]
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Come home

KL TRIP 14/12/08 - 16/12/08

Day1 14th dec 2008, sunday

this time we had 6 people going!
me desmond hanni yiwen huiyi & charmaine

met up at bukit timal plaza at around 7am, awaiting for the bus to come
in the midst of waiting, yiwen's parents chatted with me, bout NS and stuff
just as we were to board the bus, her parents told me something..

"if yiwen misbehave, you guys have the permission to beat her up, NO MERCY" Lol!

that was the first joke of the trip..
and then we happily board on the bus..



this is what should be on his mind at that time.. (typo here, should be beer & not bear, lol)



in between the journey, had a break at yongpeng, bought some ramlee burgers to eat
we were starving!!

alright back on to the bus for the rest of the journey

and finally at around 3pm, we FINALLY reached our hotel Royale Bintang
this time the bus trip took much longer due to the jam near the customs, but oh well, suck thumb

took a quick rest while unpacking our stuffs in the room, and of cus took some photos



then off we went eating & shopping, wooot!

lunch/dinner at Jalan Alor
(same place as the last trip)




right after that, we took a little walk down Jalan Petaling aka Chinatown!



inside the street is like a very cramp and crowded basar malam,
selling all sorts of things, ranging from bags to clothings to food..
you can find all those "branded" stuff here, if you know what i mean =)
they had prada, gucci, burberry, fred perry etc etc..

the best thing about this place is that you can bargain
me des and hanni were bargaining so much that we were addicted, Lol!!
managed to bring down the price by 4-5 fold !!

we walked so many rounds around the place that some of the stall owners regconised us(in a bad way), and didnt want to do our business(cus we are such great bargainers that they were scared of us, HA!)

Hanni was definitely the big winner here for th day, she bought the most stuff in the less amount of time! following behind is me and desmond.. then yiwen is third only because hy and charmaine didnt bought anything, hahaha oops!

Supper was KFC feast, brought back to the hotel to eat
washed up, played some cards and slowly one by one dozed off Zzz..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day2 15th dec 2008, monday

5 45am..

rise and shine! Desmond was the IC for the day "Reference Row Ready!"
Lol, the 2 of us were doing morning PT in the room, no run though, haha
after that all of us changed and went down for breakfast buffet
the food imo was not as much and tasty as the one from Berjaya Time Square
BUT! the room condition was definitely much better here at royale

reason for waking so early was hoping to get tickets at KLCC to go up the twin towers
but they were closed on monday, tough luck~ (the last time we went they were out of tickets, gees)

went back to our rooms to slack, until 10am and we went KLCC to shop..

halfway there, stopped by starbucks, me and charmaine went to get some dose of caffine..
while the rest started picture-taking





walked past the fountain, and like before, ready camera action!



continued walking, and we ended up at a park near KLCC
just as we were gonna play the playground there..
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!!"
quite faraway, we could see someone (from what i believed to be a sercurity) blowing the whistle towards our direction, somehow warning us that we cant play at the playground

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER(the sercurity guard)!?
was there a sign that said "children only"? NO! (and we don't look like cute little kids meh?)
was there a sign that said "no tourists"? NO!

ended up we found some quiet and open space(miles away from the beeper)
then we played "1,2,3 mu tou ren"

desmond was the person calling out, while the rest of us were the ones trying to run to him and touch him, so when he called out "mu tou ren" we have to freeze our motions..
and that cheater yiwen pushed me and ended up we both went back to the start line =/



took quite alot of pictures right after..















finally in to KLCC to have lunch..
and guess what we were having for lunch!?

*drum roll"


A&W!! woooot!



remember those rootbeer floats and curly fries you had when you were young??



ok, don't really have any pictures from here onwards, so i'm gonna keep it short if possible..

shopped around the shopping mall, wow it's like suntec city, but better!
even the information board is advanced with computerised touch panel

on the way back to the hotel, desmond bought a pair of slippers for just 1.50RM!! (~75 cents SGD)
where the heck can you find slippers this cheap in singapore!?

took a break from the walking at our rooms,
then we changed our shopping destination to sungei wang

realising that we could not find much things to buy there,
we turned to times square to shop!
the bottom floors had those shop selling branded stuff
while the upper floors is just like far east plaza

broke up into 3 groups: me & desmond, huiyi & charmaine, hanni & yiwen
each of us bought a few things here and there, soon enough the shops were slowly closing down for the night..
all of us met up at Auntie Anus(Annie's, oops sorry i love to call by that name instead, just like i call the cookie shop "famous anus" haha!)
bought some pretzels back and makan~

that's pretty much for day 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day3 16th dec 2008, tuesday

last day of the trip, didnt had much to do except to shop so we woke up at 7+ instead to have breakfast, then slowly packed and stuff and put it at the lobby, and off we go to shop!

we were back at times square(again), cus we know we still had so much more to shop there!
so we shopped in grps of 2..
after that, had lunch at marrybrown(but yiwen called it MARINAbrown, Lol wth!)

bought pretzels back to the bus to eat, and there we were, back to singapore..
dropped off at bukit timah plaza, by the time it's already 9+ i think..
quickly had dinner at mac's KAP, oh and we saw shawn-sideview-lookalike with spike HAIR there, LOL!

des sent hanni home
i shared cab with huiyi
while yiwen took cab home, alone, so sad =)

that's all for the trip, more details can be found at yiwen's blog

before i end this entry, one last picture..
enjoy!!

finally back from KL!!
haha it's a nice trip, no needa worry about waking at 5 30am and stuff, lol!
bought quite alot, mostly for myself though, and some for my family, haha..

shall update again once i get the pictures..
in the mean time, here's a picture i had tried edited using photobucket =)



whatever you like!!

pics of jaixin's bday celebration on 6th dec 08!



POP lo!!

Bon voyage to our stanley toh kian tiong for his trip to vietnam to find a vietnam wife for his family trip, haha!
right after the next day he come back to singapore, he's gonna be enlisted to NS
so i won't be seeing him for quite a few weeks man, not until christmas,
gosh gonna miss him =/

putting that aside, went out to celebrate jiaxin's birthday with KT desmond yiwen and hanni on sat at glasshouse fish&co, but right before that we all watched four christmas
quite a funny show, and somehow their families were pretty messed up and stuff
however, this show really sets me thinking of what to do with life, like how i'm gonna plan the road ahead etc.

the best quote from the movie i think would be "you can't spell families without lies"
quite interesting eh? =)

pictures are gonna come later, when desmond upload them (heard it's gonna take quite some time =O )


anyways, an update of what's coming up soon..

2 more days to POP
6 more days to KL trip
7 more hours to last book-in to tekong

well that's all for now folks!
