the three little kittens

okay, before anyone tosses a rotten tomato (or anything the like) at me for giving the world wide web (cough. hehe!) a good dose of my whininess.......

but hey, i haven't updated in like, eternity?
so yeah. i havent blogged about kk, cambodia, school, midsems2 stress, my dearest muffy, and gaffy, and now, sembi.

first things first.. erm.... KK! i forgot most of it now (well not forgot, but i just can't recall it! =P)
one warning! don't act too bimbotic. last day of kk, mx and i shared the hotel room right..... well, yw came to visit and gossip, and then she left. (cue : mx and i go "LET'S FOLLOW HER!!!"
and so, we dash out in our comfy roomwear (ie barefooted)...
leaving the room door to close by itself...
...before we realise that neither of us took the keys.
heh.
we went to knock on i think henri's(??) room door to ask for minor assistance, but world cup fever! everyone was downstairs in front of the pub watching football!
stunned by our temporary burst of intelligence, we just stood outside our room door laughing our heads off. that is, until some grumpy person poked her head out of her door to give us a dirty look. oh, and the chambermaid did too. oopsies.
we really had no other choice, did we?
and so, we tiptoed downstairs (note - marble floor=cold, and we were barefooted okay!!) to ask the receptionist for another key.
HEHEHE! crazy silly funny!

and oh, our room had no menu! so we called for one.. and got this super-large, rattan-framed one which looked like it was meant for display! made us laugh like idiots.

speaking of which, kit yen came to join us! and we were laughing like maniacs! i think the other cempakans on our floor could hear us while we were watching tiramisu... some ppl came to find out wat was so funny..(HEHE we freaked them out i think) anyway... yeah... seeing the menu made us laugh even more... so you could say we were totally stark raving mad that night...

and the prank calls! hahahahahhahahahaha =)
aw, i really really miss kinabalu....... (except the receptionless-ness part of it)

next up..... school. what to say - wwry, thats pretty much it.
and then... cambodia trip!!!!!!! (pardon the exclaimation marks)
we were in cambodia for 4 days. its really hot there, seriously. maybe even worse than malaysia because they barely use air-cond. it's cool to see nine-year old kids driving around on motorcycles! waaaaay cool. and the way the girls ride behind the guys on the bikes? so amazing! i cant balance with one leg on either side of the vehicle and there they are happily keeping both their legs on one side of the bike. its jealousy-fying.. OH they have the cutest little things ever - tut tuts. XD. erm, sort of like trishaws i guess. =)
we visited tonle sap! oh god, at parts, the lake is so filthy, no offence. i mean..... our geo textbook clearly forgot to add some of the main functions of tonle sap - excrement pond, and direct water (for showering/drinking) supply being the major factors. honestly, gross! they use the water straight from the lake to wash their cutlery and food. they relieve their bowels in it. and they swim in it.
i couldn't stomach it.
but angkor wat! it's so pretty. i want to go spend more time there again! =) it was really one of the best parts of the trips. except i got sunburnt, as i forgot about the existence of sunblock until i felt my skin dying.
i climbed angkor wat! its pretty from up there. lots of cadoodly couply spots. oh, they were occupied, though.
the downside of goign on my dad's company trip to angkor wat is that all the people there were a) old, and b) engineers. yes, we marvelled at the wonders and capabilities of the ancient dudes. however, it is slightly disconcerting to be walking under a roof to have someone go "look, it's only supported by that one pole..." in a surprised, so-dangerous tone. worse still to have the person go on "it could collapse any time!"
takes the magic out of it, don;t you think?
OH OH OH the worst part of cambodia was the company. including me, there were only 4 women. i liked one of the women..... she was nice! one was my mum...
but the other one, oh, living hell. what am i anyway, a wooden mannequin for testing out scarves?! and honestly, so what if my dad is willing to buy me some clothes made of silk? i might not want it, pushy woman! bleh. i was so annoyed. seriously, do we seem like such spendthrifts? or new money? (if there even is a money) and honestly! "daddy says can buy, buy la!" BLEH! and who gave her the right to call me "ann"?? only some (well most-just not her) people i know are allowed to. i did not like that lady at all. and then she had the audacity to ask mum for the scarf we bought for my sister. the nerve! why the hell mum let her, i don't know. but the neeeerve. and my mum didn't even like her. i can't believe she didnt tell me either, i wouldnt have agreed to being assaulted with countless scarves by that... that... that woman.
EEEKS..............


i love muffy, i really do. i'll sound mean if i say this, but she was my favourite dog... she loved being loved and she was the sweetest thing ever... she was so loving too! you could tell, she loved you unconditionally. and she was only 4 years old.
dear muffy, i love you! hope you're happy, wherever you are.

SIDENOTE - LY HAS A GREATNESS LEVEL OF 101%, and now she cannot disown me =D
