  • kaki gajah

     had my first official driving lesson today.
    from 11am-1pm with my driving instructor.
    i heard some of the guys say that he's pretty hot headed.

    but he turned out to be a pretty nice guy,
    although at times i really couldn't understand what he was saying,
    like "oil" sounded like " elle or hell" to me.
    and "brake" like " bake", so it takes me awhile to register.

    P3230211
    kenneth says i'm gonna die of skin disease
    if i continue drawing on myself.

    • learned to change gears,
    • do a u-turn,
    • slow down at stop signs etc.

      was sweating, cause most of the time i had to practice
      while the car was immobile.
      so that meant cutting of the engine.

    oh and the best part of the day was that he allowed me
    to drive all the way from the
     parking lot in kelana jaya to my house in bandar utama.

    P3210153
    carmen after her duet with aleena, singing " me and my shadow".


    my 1st lesson too O_o 
    didn't realise that he was gonna ask me to do that till he
    said "ok, now take a right and go out of the car park."

    wasn't really sure at the beginning cause i'm still pretty
    unsure about my footwork at the pedals.
    thank god my engine only died once, which was before

    we went to the 
    streets

    overall,
    i stopped at the traffic light,
    went over bumbers,
    let a car pass me, did a u-turn,
    went into a tunnel.

    P3210182
    left-right : wei ken, aaron, aleea, tcw, carmen, fen @ the hall.

    at times i'd forget to put my hands back on to the steering wheel,
    there were also times that i went off a lane, or looked into the wrong mirror
    and said, " oh no car, can change lane", even if there was a car there. hahah


    oh and i sped O_O,
    well not really but 65km/j is still speeding at a 60km/j limit,
    didn't even realise till he told me to slow it down.

      P3210093P3210096
    paramount preperations after school last friday.
    tcw ( left), richard& ian (right)

    oh and kaki gajah refers to what my instructor calls me for
    the times ( there were only 2 times ok)
    i pressed the brake too forcefully, causing the car to jerk.

    i had fun. =D  next lesson is most probably on friday.
    whooop.

    went to one utama with
    li-tjen,carmen,gui fen after football from 12-4:30pm,
    i was soaking wet, forgot to bring another pair of shoes,
    so i pracitcally walked around in two mini aquariums
    that i call shoes, pretty disgusting actually. =D 

    PB051357

    had  ice cream at haagen.
    initially we wanted to eat at kenny rodger's,
    but the chicken was still being cooked,
    had to wait an additonal 25 minutes,
    =( just when i had such a craving for chicken.
    so went to fish &co instead.
    saw lucas,johnathan chris there with their "dates".

  • The land below the wind

     went to school at 3:45am,
    picked ian up on the way.
    most of everyone was there already.

    PB051127

    teachers who were chaperoning us were
    Mr Sara, Mr Suresh - boys
    Ms Hoo and Ms Tai -girls

    PB051178

    we went in 2 buses.
    one for the guys, the other for the girls.
    we departed to the airport at 4:10 am ish. 

    PB051166

    wannabe pui yi s for the day.

    PB051201 PB051215
    reached the LCCT, first time there
    we all got checked in,
    suprisingly everyone brought along their IC.
    we had 10 minutes left to our flight which was at
    6:30am if im not mistaken.

    PB051258 PB051288

    the flight took 2 and a half hours.
    was alrite, even if air asia has a bunch of negative reviews.

    PB051314

    people played with cards.
    some with the vomiting bags.
    you know who you people are.

    PB051350

    reached KKIA at 9:30 am.
    had some complications with a lost luggage.
    that kinda delayed the trip a bit.

    PB051354 PB051367

    right pic: our extremely green bus, literally.
    we had a good bus driver. we were always ahead of the boys,
    even if we made a bunch of pit stops.

    PB051397

    right after the airport,
    we headed of to the  sabah museum.
    weren't allowed to take any pictures
    museum policy. =/

    giant whale bones, stuffed possums,
    ceramic pottery, wang pokok pisang etc.

    Later, we had our lunch at the first beach cafe.
    buffet lunch. it's a nice place as it was placed near the beach,
    it's one of those rare scenes in malaysia
    where you see any trash in sight,
    all you see is tiny holes and sand balls made by the crabs.

    PB051412PB051413PB051440

    we had our lunch.
    teachers gave us like some time to stroll around.

    PB051416 PB051461 PB051487 PB051491

    caught a crab =D
    then freed it back into the sea,
    even if it did try to pinch me.

    PB051483PB051470

    along our way to our next destination.
    we hit some sort of road block.
    there was a jam because of some construction
    so that took some time.
    that means loads of time to take pictures of people sleeping. =D

    PB051594 PB051507PB051569 PB051524

    pic left: but no worries cou* headprefect*gh has come

    yayasan sabah
    malaysia's very own leaning tower of pisa.
    proceeded to the next destination-

    Pekan Nabalu
    that place practically sold everything there was in the airport.
    good thing was that here, you could haggle.

    PB051626

    what made things easier was that,
    every single of them 15 something stalls,
    sold the exact same thing.

    "there was this thin bamboo musical device thing that this lady
    wanted to sell to me, she demonstrated it by putting
    it into her mouth.

    There were only a few she was selling,
    so that kinda made it easier for me to steer away from her.
    a giant toothpick like thing covered in spit isn't worth rm15. =/"

    PB051631 PB062018  
    PB051680

    later we took a 2 hour journey up to the place were stayin at,
    kinabalu pine resort.

    we explored the place while the teachers checked us in.

    PB051684

    ben could so model.

    was supposed to bunk with yuen yee,
    but we decided that we'd be better off with more people,
    so bunked with gui fen, carmen at cabin L1.
    the sky turned dark around 6:30pm.
    others showered, while others waited outside playing pop-pops.

    PB051707

    we had steamboat for dinner at the resort itself.
    and then the night begins...
    Kinabalu pine resort is the best 2 star place you can find up there.
    it's cozy, with the cold air and woody cabin feel. 
    well the backdoors and creepy bathrooms were kinda creepy though.
    the space is big and they have huge patios.
    pefect for a huge number of people to tell ghost stories. (led by ms hoo)

    damn scary wei, everyone didn't dare sleep alone after that whole gathering,
    and after we were told by one of the guards that someone was buried there.

    "we were going all the way up the hill,
    when ian started saying that there was some uknown person walking up too,
    and freaked himself and myself too.
    so we ran back down screaming. hahahahah"

    morning came. woke up at 5:55am.
