15th Jan 2008

Had a good yet tiring futsal game yesterday night . Saara and I slept over at Ting's place cos we planned to help him to search for his Schnauzer dog .

Feeling tired , we skipped the planned dim-sum breakfast with Tinesh [ he didn't call us anyway ] . Woke up at 10 and got ourselves ready for dog searching . we went to pick Josh and off we went to Taipan . 4-5 shops we went around and only one of the shop has it . price was quite high though . and so we continued looking for better price .

We had lunch at Nirvana banana leaf rice at USJ 9 . and we went on to Pet Family at Taman Megah . and they have Schnauzer there . it was really cute and Ting really wanted that dog but too bad , it was sold . they have younger ones , 2months but Ting didn't really like them and furthermore the price was not convincing enough . we had a last stop at SS2 and then we had to leave .

30th Dec o8 - 1st Jan 09

Finally , we ( BBF ) had our first trip after 3 years . since we were 16 , we have been planing to travel here and there but everything just don't seem to work out due to various reasons . [ even our Teluk Gong plan haven't jadi until now ] . haha . anyway that's the past and we are looking forward for more trips after our first was so happening .

back to the trip . I forgot how we figured out the trip . the initial plan was actually to Port Dickson but somehow Ting found out that his cousin has an apartment in Teluk Batik , Perak . and from there , after the approval of his cousin , we work it out from it . accommodation , transport , and people [ as usual , it's always hard to get the 9 of us together but we got 7 out of 9 , so that's good enough ] . and everything was going smoothly . 3 days from 30th of December [ this is the first time we celebrate New Year together in 7 and somewhere far from the city . different way of celebration this year ] .

7 of us were [ Ting , Steph , Saara , Lan , Tinesh , Sarah , and I ]

Day 1

We all met up at Tinesh's place at 10-ish and get our stuff loaded and headed to PJ to get Sarah . and our journey begun . Saara was the driver and I was his so called assistant . and together we made a silly mistake [ we did not follow the GPS that time since Saara said he knew the way ] . we missed the Bidor exit which leads us to go to Ipoh [ longer way but we finally fulfilled one of our old plans ] .
after a long exhausting journey , we finally reached Ting's cousin's place to get the apartment keys and we had a late lunch in Kampung Cina . a seafood restaurant that was only available at that moment . then we went to stock up snacks and drinks and off we head to the apartment . and here we are Marina Cove Resort . with 3 well-kept rooms , balcony facing the sea , we really felt so much at home . after settling down , the guys went down for beach soccer while the girls just sat there chatting and watching us play . then all of us got together playing volleyball and captain ball .
around 7-ish , Saara was so tempted to try the hotel's water theme park and so we all headed for some splash . slides , water polo , volleyball were awesome . [ the water was dirty though but screw it-lar ] . we played till the place closed at 9 and we went up to clean up for dinner .
dinner was at the apartment's cafe . food was not bad . but we had to wait almost an hour for the food . damn kns service . Saara was so pissed .
back to the apartment after dinner , we had charades and a few new games and the night ended with Twister . haha . headed to bed at 5am . [ sorry Saara for waking you up ]


Day 2

Woke up at 10 . the 3 guys had a dota game before all of us headed to the main beach in Teluk Batik . we intended to ride on the banana boat but we postponed it to the evening and eventually to the next day . we chilled and sat by the beach with ice-creams [ cones cost us rm3 each . wtf ] and we built sandcastles .
then , we left for lunch , back to Kampung Cina for Restaurant Ah Pek Lee Kou which was closed yesterday . without proper planning and due to hunger , we had ordered 10 dishes and 3 big bowls of rice . [ it was like we didn't eat anything for a week ] haha . and so we paid the price [ double the price of yesterday's restaurant ] but still darn cheap compared to other places .
after that fulfilling meals , we headed to ' The Store ' to stock up our snacks and drinks for the night . and there was a guy who kept staring at Sarah and smiling at her . what a freak .
back to the apartment , the guys played a dota game again while the girls played Metal Slug on psp . after one of the laptop had a problem , we eventually stopped and went down for beach soccer again [ an addiction to us guys . haha ] while they girls continued their Metal Slug . then , all of us played 'Monkey' till sunset as the end of outdoor activities for that day .
we then went up to get ready for dinner . had some cam whore sessions though . dinner was at at a 'Ikan Bakar' restaurant facing the sea nearby the apartment . the fishes were good but the dishes were disappointing and in small portions .
after dinner , we rushed to a church nearby the town as Sarah wanted to attend a countdown service . and thank god , she came out at 11.30 enough time for us to rush back to the apartment for countdown for the fireworks as well [ we had the most perfect view , right in front of us ] fireworks were not so grand like the usual ones , but after all , as I said , a different celebration this year , filled with the company of best friends on a trip . AWESOME .
after wishing and hugging everyone , we got into cam whore sessions with all kinds of poses we managed to do [ could not be shown all , too many ]


after almost an hour of cam whoring , we retired from it and settled down for games . Circle of death was the first thing followed by Fuzzy Duck thingy . [ this got us laughing till our stomach cramped ] . most of them went to bed before 5 am . except for Ting , Steph [ they planned to stay up till sunrise ] and I but I couldn't take it and dozed off at 7 am .

Day 3

it was a 3 hours of sleep for me . woke up , we had Maggi for breakfast before heading to the beach again for banana boat . the price was seriously cheap till we rode twice [ they gave us discount some more for the 2nd ride . haha ] . and the salty sea water splashed and irritated our eyes throughout the ride . and I was the at the front of the banana . damn kns . had to keep rubbing and closing my eyes . [ sore feeling ] but we had so much fun . while drying up , some of us ran around flying kites and I got buried in the sand ! [ no pictures were taken ] and they were jumping on me after that and my 'little banana' [ haha ] got sort of 'crushed' when Ting put a full force step into the sand right onto it . *ouch* .
we got back to apartment to wash up and pack our luggage and of cos clean up the apartment . time to leave this wonderful oasis . *sigh* .
we left around 2-ish and had lunch in KFC in the town . headed to Ting's cousin's place again to return the keys and there was it . time to head a long journey back home . bringing back our luggage and the wonderful and unforgettable moments we had together . I will never forget what we have gone through .

Finally , the trip is happening !! wooott .
was on skype with Ting and Lan yesterday discussing matters bout the trip till 1-ish .
packed my stuff till 2 am and went off to bed at 3 . Pineapple's message woke me up around 5.30am . haha . she didn't sleep the whole night . thought she was sleeping after her last message .
luckily she woke me up so that I could watch the 2nd half of the match between Man Utd and Boro . and thank god they managed to score a goal on the 70th minute . Berbatov volleyed . but that was it . final score 1-0 .

I ll be leaving in 2 hours . meeting up at Ting's place at 10 . hohoho . will update bout the blog once I'm back . and will post bout the trip too of cos . will be there till New Year and so we are gonna countdown there . different style of celebration this year man .

So I'm wishing everyone earlier .
Happy New Year and Happy 2009!!!
Let the 2008 passed and have fun in 2009!!

23 Dec 08 , Tues

A big day for someone special to us . a close friend / brother to me since we were in standard 4 . *those were the days* . and yea . we have been friends for 9 years . were in the same neighbourhood till I shifted 3 years ago . wow! those memories man .

And so today is his day . Tinesh Khantan a.k.a Tinesh Jackson . hahaha .
to celebrate his auspicious day , we have planned a dinner with him in Klang after his finals . before the dinner , Lan , Ting , and I went to Pyramid searching for his present . Saara came for a short lunch with us though . After looking around for hours , we finally went back to the sticker shop and got him a present that we think suits him . a gold medal . haha .

Steph called and said she couldn't make it but she got us a chocolate banana cake from her bakery . we went to get the cake and headed back to my place first to settle down before going for the dinner . we played PS2 before picking up Tinesh and we waited for him for half an hour in the car . *was supposed to meet up at 7 but ended up 8.00* . and as what the birthday boy wanted , we went to Green Box for the buffet dinner and karaoke of cos . *the cashier was not bad* quoted by Lan & Tinesh . hohoho . we were so hungry that we took all kinds of food and drink one shot . and only then we started to choose our songs . we had lots of fun , emo-ness , gayness and much more in the room . you gotta be there to understand . haha

Before that , Tharsh(Tinesh's sister) had planned a surprise for him with me which she drove all the way from subang accompanied by Jasmine and suprise him with a cake . and the plan went slightly off . the initial surprise was to surprise Tinesh with a cake after our dinner at any of the restaurant . but the plan was canceled cos we had changes of plan which we went karaoke till midnight . Tharsh and Jasmine had to wait around my house for almost 2 hours and they were rushing me when we were karaoke-ing . Tinesh wanted to stay till 3 am but we had to give him some excuses and thank god he agreed to leave at 12 . and to make things worse , we were stuck in Jusco . almost all the exits were closed and we finally managed to get out after looking for the guard . *the exit was actually the elevator beside Green Box* . kns-ed .

And so , our suprise was considered succesful and we had it in my room . had some problems with the candles though . and they messed up my room with chocolates on my floor! haha . and after all these , they dropped Lan back to his home while Ting and Tinesh stayed over at my place and discussed bout the trip . woooottt!

19 Dec 08, Fri

Went to Ting's place in the morning and we chilled and had breakfast before we headed to Pyramid to meet Lan there . we were helping Ting to get a brand new phone . haha . thanks to me who brought the brochure back to his place which attracted him to get a new one . but after getting his new phone , he eventually blamed me cos I brought back the brochure. haha . and didn't tell him his old phone's speaker was not spoiled but it was just because it was turned softer. haha . I didn't know that was the problem-lar ting . hope you love your new phone . haha .

we had lunch at a new restaurant *forgot what was the name* behind Kim Gary before Lan came . price and taste were good . environment was quite calm and relaxing . a family business though . Lan came later and joined us to get Ting's phone . Lan went home after Ting got his phone . so left the both of us walking and loitering around Pyramid aimlessly . Ting got a message from Steph saying she was so bored and wanted to have dinner . we went back to my place to settle down , charged Ting's new phone , and played PS 2 before leaving to pick Steph and Lan from Kota Kemuning . initial plan was to pick the both of them up and have dinner at Klang . but canceled due to some excuses . and out of a sudden , Saara called Ting and said ' let's have dinner in Kota Kemuning' which we were already there . haha

we picked Steph and Lan up and went to a bookshop first before going for dinner . and guess what the four of us were in black and we were guessing whether Saara will be in his usual white shirt with the 'aerogel' logo which he did . haha . and as usual we will always have problems deciding what and where to eat . ended up we went to NTS coffee shop and after dinner , we got ourselves Ramli burgers and some snacks from 7-eleven and headed to Ian's house for charades . Steph and Ting one team while Saara , Ian , and I were in a team . *saara was a first-timer but he was okay . adapted to the game fast .

Saara left earlier and Tinesh told us he will come to KK to meet us and he intended to stay at my house . so the four of us waited for him in Ian's room for 2 hours . gonna kns him . during the 2 hours , what we did was just camwhoring sessions . real kao kao camwhore . I was the camera man and joined by Ian later using his mini tiny tripod . haha . some photos are not to be seen . haha . then we got bored of it and while Ian was busy with his laptop , the three of us stoned and I fell asleep . and finally Tinesh came ! headed straight back to my place and we played 'thumbmaster' using just plain water . felt like vomitting and bloated-lar . went to bed after chatting with pineapple . and good night people .




more pictures to upload though . wait
What happened to you Pineapple? I'm worried for you . is there anything you wanna share with me??

16 Dec 08, Tues

Met up with Ting at Pyramid after his exams . staying over his house tonight to teach him finance for his paper tomorrow . *i don't have finance knowledge-lar. just did acc and basic business maths only .* he said at least I have the basics so I should know some . haha .

we were there early and we had Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snacks for breakfast . we were planning about our holiday trip as well . and stories of *miss pineapple* you know who you are . loitered around after the meal. about an hour later , we went to Zanmai *both of us were craving for japanese* for lunch . and we continued our conversations there . had sukiyaki , ten don , and a few sushi.






after lunch , we intended to play bowling or either a movie . movie canceled due to the time . bowling canceled cos they were having ASEAN competition thing . and so we headed for snooker . my second time playing snooker and first time for Ting . so why not give it a shot and with student cards , we got it for rm6 per hour . we took one hour just to finish a game . T.T embarrassing-lar . went back to Ting's place around 5 .



had plans with Saara for dinner the day before . left Ting's place around 8 and reached Summer steamboat buffet at Mentari .*opposite Yuen steamboat which was closed that night* Ting and I were there first to get the table . Saara came after 1/2 hour and Josh and Brandon came an hour later . lol . headed back to Ting's house at 10.30 and sort of continued teaching him finance .
