Hey peeps!!!
I'm back~~~ LoL... =)
Anyways, been long since I posted... I know... I was pretty darn busy with the Orientation Night thingy and Gav extended his stay here... Will update on what happened the past few days...
22/09/05 (Thursday) - After OR full rehearsal @ coll... Sis fetched me so she can follow her colleague in his car to KL for seminar and Annual Dinner, then I will have my car back again *aaahhhh* Then... went to Megamall with Tee to get a white top (for our opening dance) and have dinner. During dinner, Tiger came over to find us (& to do last minute shopping for his clothes for OR - we last minute ppl! kakaka~ )
Anywayz... It was raining pretty heavily, but was pretty late so we all wanted to go back (and I had to book a room for Gav before going back). Was pretty hard to book one, cos got some sports event or something going on in Ktn this weekend, so most hotels were already fully booked!!! *&^%$&%*&% AND...
... my beloved car was already on the verge of KO-ing... Tiger said it was probably the car battery konk-ing out ady!!! But still had to go around lookin for room... Got to book a room for Friday night after going to the 4th hotel in my "dying" car *phew!*
[7.45pm] Stopped @ college a while before heading back... By that time, car was in pretty bad shape. Din dare to off engine at all. Headlight was fainting, signal was either blinking veeeerrrryyyyy sloooowwwwlyyyyy or not blinking at all!!! Tiger went into college to get Zaki, and they both asked me to drive home slowly without air-cond or radio on. Just headlights. So I did.
I reached the 1st traffic light and put to "N". But as the light turn green, I happened to look down when I put to "D" and noticed that the gear box is not lighted anymore! Not only that, it was drizzling so I put my wiper on and it got stuck halfway!!! My petrol (which was 3/4) needle was close to "E"!!! I started to panic so quickly called Tiger. There was a junction before a traffic light (and Shell station) and he asked me to wait there for him. It was lucky that road was well lit and no car was following too near behind me, cos by then, I realised my headlights were no longer working and my signal is nonexistent! Turned in, kept my engine on while waiting for Tiger ad Zaki to come to my rescue...
They reached. Brought Mr. Foo with them. Just as they reached, my car took its final breath and officially went dead --toooooootttttttttt--
Tiger stayed there with me while Zaki and Mr Foo went around to find battery shop (replace my battery). Was pretty tough cos it was already 8pm! To cut story short, was already 9.30pm when they finished putting in the new battery and got my car engine on. BUT car was still havin lotsa probs. Went home.
23/09/05 (Friday) - Gav's sms woke me up at 10am. Said he's gonna start his journey. So I woke up and went to college to find Zaki (promised to accompany me to workshop to fix my car). Was someplace nearby my coll. Turns out the prob was not the battery, but the thing near the fan belt (I dono wats it called cos the mechanic wasn't speaking very good english so I cant make out what he was saying). But what I made out was that the problem wasnt the battery (Fuck! wasted RM135) The problem was that the thing in my car was not the original Mazda 323 thingy, was already changed to use a Nissan Sentra's thingy and the Sentra's thing was too big for my car so it had some empty space, allowing dirt and dust to collect in it, therefore, making it get spoiled. (Can anyone make out what "thing" is that and let me know?) told me that I could collect by 1pm. Said fine, cos I predicted I'll have to get my car by about 2pm, so I can meet up Gav and take him to check into his hotel, get food and rest before the OR that night. BUT, later on when I went back to check on my car, he said that the mechanic has gone for lunch and can only finish by around 2pm. So fine, asked him to call me when its done.
About 1.30pm, Gav called! Seems he has reached Kuantan and my car was still at workshop. Fella still haven called to let me know if my car's done!!! So I told him and he actually found his way over to my college in just 1/2 hour or so!!! Amazing!!!
So, went to Megamall to get food before checking into hotel. After lunch, went to check on my car. Turns out the fella forgot to call me when my car was ready!!! =.=''' Paid (RM138) and lead Gav to the hotel.
Tee waited for us at the hotel lobby while we got ready. We wanted to go together. Just as we were gonna leave the hotel entrance to get into Gav's car, it rained!!! Pretty heavily! Talk about good timing... mchtnsccb... Besides that, the road was pretty jammed also... Gav made a grasshopper out of coconut tree leave and gave it to me. =)
Was still raining heavily when we reached the hotel so Gav put me and Tee down at the lobby before parking the car.
Anyways, the event was pretty good le... Not bad. But very hectic for me, cos I had to wear my evening dress there (had to hold the banner and all as opening) and then quickly change into dancing attire for my opening dance. After that, rush upstairs to change into my fashion show attire for the third show and finally, back into my evening dress again to join Gav at our table and enjoy the rest of the night. Was buffet style dinner (which the food at Swiss Garden sucks btw), so Gav got some food for me so I can eat when I got back to our table.
Got some aromatic candles for lucky draw. LoL... Tiger and Azlyn got crowned the new King & Queen of Olympia College 2005 respectively. Best dress goes to Ayu & Zaki (couple). We wondered if it was planned... ;)
Will post some pics of that night as soon as Tiger sends them over to me...
Event ended around 11.30pm. Later on Gav, me, Tiger & Mr. Foo headed to the disco @ top floor, Megamall. First time going disco AND this kinda place in Kuantan. Not to mention we were all too well dressed to go to disco! I was in super high heels and all le!!! Cant shuffle also... sigh... Freakin good sound system though (better than the ones in KL clubs) and not the lala kinda place me & Gav imagined it to be. The live band sings Chinese songs, though. Lucky they take breaks and the DJ takes over with some pretty good English mix.
Both of us wanted to go to pub, so we can sit, drink and talk. But we suspected Mr Foo wanted to go to that Megamall's disco, cos we asked him to intro some pubs to go to in Ktn and he kept sayin that the police closed a lot of them down already (but on the way back Ktn, we saw plenty of pubs, live and kicking, on both sides of the road) LoL!
24/09/05 (Saturday) - Gav was supposed to head back to KL, but wanted to go Kmn instead, so I followed his car and my parents din hafta come down to fetch me back. Anyways, went lunch around 2pm. Gav bought a red dice with white hearts instead of the normal dots for me to hang in my car... =) Then caught Flight Plan at 3.45pm in GSC, Megamall. Damn good movie wei... I recommend! Must watch!!! ^=^
Around 5.30pm, went over to Giant to check out the Mister Coffee business branch here (his family's business). Went to my home to park my car for my sis to go work on Monday and pack my stuff.
Headed back to Kmn. Reached around 8.30pm. Wasn't hungry yet so he fetched me back my home and he went his grandma's place. Bath, unpack, he fetched me out yamcha around 10pm. Came back home around 12am. Washed up, watched a bit of TV, slept at 12.45am!!!
25/09/05 (Sunday) - Gav called to go breakfast at 10.30am. Then went to Awana Kijal to play at the beach. Then about 12.45pm, went to Hai Peng to drink coffee. After that, went to play 2 rounds of snooker. Lost like shite to him wei... sigh... Then later on, went to Kuala to have Otak-otak, Satar & Lekor (yum yum). He went home to his grandma's around 4pm to rest before starting journey down to KL.
Came to find me to talk a while before he heads back to KL. Sigh...
Anyways, definitely a great weekend! =)
