Yes, we're back from our long needed getaway. Although for me it was still kinda stressful then. :s Anyway, we left the house at around 11-12 pm and made a detour for Gary's office cos he needed to hand in his work. It took us about an hours drive from KL to Bidor ( Perak) where we stopped for duck noodles... mMmm.... I just LOVE the duck noodles there cos the meat just slides off its bone. YUMMY! We 'tah pau' the noodles so we can have it at Damai laut since we were still full from breakfast. It was a long journey with nothing but palm oil plantations on either sides. The road was really narrow too and there were many lorries passing us by.

It took us about 3-4 hours just to arrive at Damai Laut. You can actually get lost if you dont know where you're going cos the road signs arent all that helpful and the roads all look the same. The road up to the resort was winding and long. It was also narrow and not very well kept since some parts of the roads were sinking in. It was also a little dangerous considering the fact that some stretches of the road did not have street lights and you had to rely on your headlights while you drive. But it was worth it cos we got a magnificent view of the ocean from the apartment.

When we were settled in, we went over to Danny's parents apartment to have dinner which was grilled meat and sausages. It wasnt too bad. Kinda fun. We didnt get to explore much on the first day though, cos it was late and also everyone was tired. Danny and hawk ended up watching a CSI marathon. The second day, Jing was suppose to drop by but couldnt cos it was Erik's dad's bday. We ended up having lunch at the clubhouse cos it was the nearest to the apartment besides the hotel. The food there was nice. After lunch, they had yet another marathon while my mom was piecing together the puzzle I brought. Danny brought me to 'The View' later that evening to see the scenery of the ocean. We even drop by the hotel to see the beach, which wasnt much anymore cos the water level was rising. Maybe it was caused by the tsunami recently.

For dinner, we drove about half an hour down to this restaurant by the road which serves seafood. That was when we experienced the winding road at night. It was scary. The day after was about the same on our adgenda. We had lunch at the clubhouse and waited for Jing and Erik to drop by. When they finally did, we took them to see the hotel and also the beach, where we collected shells. It was really fun although the waves did try to pry my slippers off my feet. -.-"After the visit to the beach, we went back to the apartments for a swim. Swimming is fun if you have friends. ^^ Then we went back to the hotel for a buffet dinner at GAYAM which was awesome. Their cheesecake is to DIE FOR! Wished I could have brought some home. XD It rained while we were having dinner and it was hard to get back to the car cos it was quite a distance from the restaurant. Then after that, yet another CSI marathon with Erik engrossed in it. He has never seen an episode till that day. Lol...

Then came the final day of our stay there. We checked out of the apartments at around 12 and headed for Lumut town, where we had nasi kandar for lunch. I dont think we could have waited to get to Bidor for the duck noodles cos we were all so hungry. I slept a lil on the way back cos I was tired. :S Oh yea, Danny and I were stopped at a police block. I think they were just checking if we were underaged drivers....-.-" Well, we're not. :P We arrived home at around 6 pm on the 30th of December. Wish the trip was a lil longer though. ^^ It's always not that exciting on the first few days of the trip but we had a great time there just relaxing.

Today is New Years Eve. I cant believe the year is going to end so soon. I dunno what Im going to be doing tonite but most likely will be chilling at home with Danny. I dont have a New Years resolution yet. :P So yea, goodbye 2004 HELLO 2005.

I forgot to update on the party at ToOt's place. One word : FUN! Lol... though there we're many people and I didnt know half of em, we still managed to have fun. ToOt's home is HUGE! It's like one of those fairytale mansions which you only read about in fairytales. O_O It's like, one room of hers is equivalent to at least 3 of ours. ( At least the living room is... :P)

So anyway, we waited for ToOt's dad to come home from his golf game so he could take up to the club to swim. ToOt's still learning, so she needs daddy's supervision. :) But she isnt so bad for a beginner. ^^ We had fun at the swim pool and her parents are so nice!

Later that night, Justin came and brought the music with him. It was really fun... like one of those minor gatherings among friends... just chilling and stuff. I would really like to have more of those parties. ^^

Christmas is coming! Tomoro is Christmas EVE! I cant believe that time really flies so quickly. I've yet to give everyone their pressies cos everyone is everywhere. I just cant seem to find a time where everyone can meet and just exchange gifts. :P I'm prolly gonna meet up with Hawk and Joel tomoro night so I'll be giving them their pressies then. I hope they like it. Jingy's pressie will be given to her when I see her at Damai Laut.

I guess that's it for the time being. Been baking a lot of cookies to. Hahah... I dunno... when Im bored I do all sorts of weird stuff. ^^ Till after Damai Laut.

I have over come my sickness. :P Yes, Im feeling much better than I did that day. Hawk came by after Danny took me to the doctor and I had been sleeping most of the day away. I did throw up 3 times, but I guess it was a good thing cos it cleared my stomach and it didnt feel as bloated from the day before. I dunno what was the cause of this 'mild gastric' but I have a feeling it might be related to the fact that Im allergic to coffee. :S Dont ask why.

Anyway, about the coffee part, I wasnt meant to be drinking coffee. I ordered a white chocoate peppermint but what I got tasted like coffee. I think it was cos they didnt clean out their blenders when they made me my drink. :S I think I'll stick with pure chocolate from Coffee Bean now, thank you very much. Pure chocolate...MMMm..... just the name of it leaves my mouth watering... ^^

So yes, feeling way better although my appetite has yet to return to normal. Today Danny, me, hawk and Tay Lai ( aka ToOt) went to watch Ocean's Twelve at 1 Utama. It wasnt such a bad show though I thought there would be more erm... theft involved. I didnt watched Ocean's 11, so I dont really know what the storyline was about. It was funny anyway. So that's a good sign.

After the movie we decided to just hang out. ToOt was feeling hungry and wanted to 'yam cha' so we ended up at Secret Recipe. Hawk and Danny ordered yummy looking cakes while ToOt had an ice cream sundae and a shephard's pie. T.T I didnt have anything cos I didnt wanna upset my tummy, though all of them were trying to tempt me into taking a bite. Talking bout a great way to make me sin. T.T Oh heavenly food~~~

Which remind me... I've yet to get a few people gifts. T.T Not to say I've forgotten bout them, more of like... I didnt think I would be seeing them... and I wasnt sure what to get. But after hearing that I might be seeing them and they're also getting me a gift ( I heard it from a reliable source) it made me feel guilty.

It's also two more days till ToOt's pool party. I've yet to decide on what swimsuit I should wear. Prolly I'll bring all three with me in my bag just in case...lol~ I'm hoping that all of us would be having a bash. I think there might be pictures too. ;) Then come Christmas where all of us would be exchanging gifts... and then it'll be the trip to Damai Laut. I dunno what Im gonna do there, but Ive already got my entertainments ready... namely my cheapskate puzzles which I got from the pasar malam. Haha... sad I know. I still want my 'bestfriend' themed puzzles...T.T ARGH! Why does it have to be so expensive? T.T

Oh well... this is a pretty long entry, huh? :) I'll update more after the party. ^^ Till next time...

ps: BTW, this is my 100th post. ^^ Weeeeeee~

due to an upset tummy and also Danny hogging the bed. It made me feel even more ill cos I didnt have space to be comfortable. It was as if I couldnt breathe. I was up since 5:30 am and my eyes are tired. I dunno why but the last few days I havent really been feeling well.

First it was my eyes. They hurt liked crazy but the reason is still unknown. It couldnt be that I've developed some unknown allergy to certain food. I have been getting migraines as well. Maybe it's the weird weather or maybe it's just me with a sickly body; who knows.

I was up all night trying to avoid puking all over the bed. -.-" I think it could be something I ate. I had some instant noodles last night before bed. Danny didnt get the same effect as I did cos he was eating some other brand of noodles while I was pigging out on a pack of korean noodles.

I really dont feel well....T.T I guess I will be resting in bed the whole day... and if it got any worse, it's prolly to the doctors' for me. :P

Yes. But technically it isnt the kinda shopping where I splurge on any cute outfit or nice skirt which I can find. More like, shopping for a girls' needs. :D And oh~ ToOt is having a pool/BBQ party on the 18th of December and has invited Danny and I among some of her friends to join her. It'll be at Tropicana. Gosh~ I havent been to tropicana in awhile cos I used to tag along to watch my aunty practice her swings at the driving range.

Anyway, after getting my neccessities, Danny and I decided to stop by a shop which sold swimwear. ^^ They were having a stock clearance thing so everything was going cheap. I couldnt believe my eyes and had to ask the shop assistant if it were true. Danny needed to buy a pair of swim trunks for the event cos he didnt bring the ones he had home from Melbourne. -.-"

I actually had a pair ( 2 pairs in fact!) of swimsuit but I couldnt resist that great offer! Must be a girl thing. *wink* I mean, usually if you bought a pair of bikini ( top and bottom) it would cost you AT LEAST RM 130 ++ where as I got my bikini pair for only RM 68. The only thing I regret is not having a nice figure to go with it. I look so bad with my swimsuits on that I was actually thinking of NOT attending the party. But hey, I still have 11 more days to TRY to shed those pounds and trim those abs. :D ( Im just psyching myself out)

So yeap, Jing is gonna be down too. Dunno if she's gonna bring Erik along. From what I heard, she was bringing her other two best friends Jo and Jan. :) Gah~ So many people who look good in swimwear. T.T So, from today onwards, Im only allowed PLAIN WATER, LUNCH ( since I wake up around that time anyway) and DINNER. No more snacking or supper. Oh, and plenty of exercise too... thought I dont think shooting hoops qualify since I only shoot hoops. LoL~

So till then... 'OPERATION SLIM' is on the way.

BTW, NO PULLING ON MY BIKINI STRAP!!!

I love Christmas! It's the one year which I get to receive pressie... lol... of course, on my birthday too... but this doesnt mean I dont give. I wanna go Christmas shopping... and sometimes I wish I can just buy the whole store. :p

I have 5 people in mind on who to buy pressies for. I wont tell who cos then it wont be a surprise anymore. :P It's kinda hard to shop for these people though cos I dont know what they want and I dont have enough cash. T.T So yea... Im always broke. :P

Danny said he doesnt want anything for christmas. He says having me with him is a good enough present. Haha... ^^ But that doesnt mean Im not gonna think bout him. I mean, I could make him something instead of buying him something ready made. A D.I.Y pressie...XD

His family and I are most likely gonna go Damai Laut after Christmas too...though I have no idea what I am to do there cos they're going to be playing golf. I was also thinking of maybe making trips to Penang then too so I can visit Leena. She's prolly bored there cos apparently everything is so far away. So yea, thought I might just brighten up her day by dropping by. XD

I just hope that all my friends can meet up so we can celebrate New Years Eve together with a drinking party... :D Just for fun and we're planning to make it a 'tradition'. So... MAKE SURE YOU'RE FREE PEOPLE~!
