Yong-sama gets her much wanted HOLIDAY

I'm sure most of my close friends would very easily tell anyone who's asking about me how much I was really stressed out during the last six months and have been complaining of needing a REAL holiday. So yes then, I'm glad to announce that I finally got the holiday I wanted so much in that short span of two weeks I had as a college break.

I know it's not necessary to let everyone know what I actually did or how I enjoyed myself, but I still feel compelled to blog about it. Don't worry, it's just gonna be a real short post.

Bapakz in Genting
Weekdays are the best times to be going to Genting to avoid the stupid crowd you'd usually find there during weekends and peak seasons. So my college mates and I decided to go up there and enjoy ourselves thoroughly.

I'm extremely proud to tell everyone that we crazy girls actually sat on the Space Shot (also known as the Solero Shot) at least 3 times. (I took it 4 times, my good friend Athirah and Joce actually took it 5 times). By the third time I was on it, I didn't feel anything anymore. Guess I was already numb to it by then.

And the cutest one in the pack: Ms. Athirah

We didn't stay there for the night though. And a good thing it was I guess, apparently the group of other college mates we met there by pure coincidence actually experienced some 'supernatural' sightings/feelings in a lift in a particular hotel.

6 Hot Chicks on Redang
Most of you already know how long we girls have been good friends ever since entering the same class during Form 1 in secondary school. And through bitter and sweet times we've actually been able to stick together until now (believe me, it wasn't easy). Going to Redang together have always been our somewhat plan and dream for a long long time. Looks like dreams really do come true if you put your mind to it huh? =D

The boards the hotel built floating on the sea's surface leading further out to the open sea was a fun walk during the high tide. From left: Zhong Li, Sarah, Lotte, Fern and Maine.

Now you understand why I said we were hot chicks right? Because seriously, they all are.

There's nothing much for me to say. The time and fun I had with them is just indescribable in words. The free accommodation that one of us was able to obtain was a bonus added on to all the fun we had. Love you all gurls! Next stop: Pulau Phuket XD

Hungry Teddies Storm Ipoh (Or more like 'Hungry Teddies wandered around Ipoh aimlessly a lot')

We are friends. We are Teddies. And we were HUNGRY.

Clockwise from left: Sue-Anne (nice pose), the boys at their card game -Foo covering his face, Qi Hong, Willy and Jun Sheng on the floor, The Sleeping Dong (I know he'll kill me if he sees this pic XD don't nobody tell him, 'kay?) and me.

Yup. Hungry Teddies really wandered around New Town Ipoh a lot aimlessly with me only helping Qi Hong oh-so-pathetically until we finally satisfied our stomachs. (I still feel bad because I think I was a bad guide. Lol)

Most of the time we spent hanging around the hotel room playing cards and talking. Ah, but it was nice doing a nice long catch-up after not seeing each other for so long. So where to next, Teddies?

My new but expensive hobby

Baking!

You can say that I was extremely 'smart' to take up this hobby right at the end of my holidays, when I was so broke (I still am F.Y.I) and heavily in debt (Baking is expensive if you have to buy the ingredients with your own allowance, like I do... especially chocolate cakes...)

What was left of my butter cake just three days after baking it. -Yes, it's empty-
My extremely successful first-time banana loaf cake.

But the joy of seeing family members and friends enjoying the cakes I made is more than enough to cover up for the cost of it. It's on to cookies next, when I'm not so broke that is. =D

*******

Here ends the delightful stories that I have to tell you about my holidays, and it's back to the digging of my grave for another five months. To all that contributed in any way to this past holiday of mine, I say thank-ya big big (Stephen King-- Dark Tower Style) and love you all.

Wait, wait, this isn't the post that I said would blow your heads away. That is still a W.I.P (Work in Progress). Don't know when I'll get around to that though.
