Chapter 43: First few days of February...

4th of February, finally got the chance to see YW. Its been months since I last saw her. It was lucky for me to have actually got the chance to go out with her. She just came back to Penang for a roughly 5 days. And my mom was odd that day, allowing me to use her car. But thanks to her, I can go to Queensbay. I went to fetch YW at 1 pm sharp. After reached there, met Cindy at the skating ring. Thought she can join us to watch the movie but she refused as she wants to 'exercise' more. LOL..After we bought the tickets for P2, we had our lunch at Wong Kok Restaurant as the fussy YW couldn't made up her mind where she wanted to dine in. I couldn't believe that YW actually had 2 egg tarts for her lunch. Thought at least have some noddles. LOL...Well, when we went back to the cinema, we met ZW. She was looking fishy that moment. -.- maybe dating with her secret boyfriend. LOL...Well, its actually a friend of ST and her who watching P2 with her that day. Anyway it was the first time I saw someone who can't found their seats though the cinema was well lit that time.

P2 is a nice movie for me. It is definitely horror and brutal and I fully agree that this is a 18 and above movie. Though the plot is simple but its always surprise from the killer. He never runs out idea of torturing and killing someone. Overall, this is not a movie that will waste your money. By the way, ZW screamed quite loud from the back there. Though a few rows ahead of her, still can heard her screaming during some horror part of the movie. I guess she had her head inside her bag during the movie. =p

After the movie, YW and I went down to meet Cindy and Ai Mun who has just being 'released' from NS. We sat just outside Jusco there chatting while Cindy enjoying her ice-cream and waffle. After that, we went to Border's Starbucks. YW got herself a Mocha Ice-blended while Cindy and I shared the Strawberry Lamington(strawberry cake with coconut). We ain't sure about the taste of the cake. Kinda doubt if its tasty. But it turns out to be a little bit too sweet. Still acceptable.

Strawberry Lamington.

Later at 7, I received a call from my mom and I was forced to go back. Anyway I did enjoy myself that day. A nice movie with a nice friend. =)

5th of January, GS and YY finally back from NS. Didn't see them since last December. GS looks damn 'handsome' with his bald head. LOL...He was driving that day, he was quite blur...can't even remember how to go Queensbay Mall. -.- think he really stays too long in the camp. GS, KH and I met up with Zheng Ying, ZW, YY and BJ. ST, CY and the rest didn't join us as they were working that day. It was the first time I dine in Dave's Deli. The sandwiches are really expensive, around Rm10 whereas other dishes cost around Rm12++ which are much reasonable. Ordered a plate of chicken chop sort of thing for my lunch. The counter ain't really customer friendly as it was quite high. Well...the food was not bad. Maybe I'll dine there next time.

Healthier than McD? Maybe...

Anyway Thanks to Zheng Ying who treat us to Häagen-Dazs for the chocolate fondue. Before 6pm, KH, GS and I returned home while the others still enjoying their time there. At night, Gang of '4', ZW and her sister, ZY, Chin Heng, Ming Han, CW and Zhe Kang went to KAYU to gather around and have some 'light' supper. Too bad we didn't have the group photos that day. Around 1a.m, we went back.

6th of January, Chinese New Year eve. Early morning, went to play basketball with my friends especially GS who just back from NS. In the morning, KH asked me if I want to follow him to buy mandarin oranges for Than Lin and also cake for ZW. At 11 something, he reached my house. On the coastal highway, I got take note of his driving speed. It was over 80km/h. However, I didn't warned him yet as I forgot that the speed limit for that part of road is 70km/h and not 80km/h. And well, just when we saw the traffic ahead, we realised it was a roadblock. And the result, he earned his first ticket. 4th among the gang to drive but the 2nd to receive ticket after GS. LOL... and its CNY, he sure know how to spend his 'ang pao' for this year. Soon after that, we reached the Tesco. Bought the mandarin oranges and headed to E-Gate Secret Recipe to choose the cake. Chose a Tiramisu(tira-MIS-U) cake for her.

The ticket. Lucky speed...88km/h when being issued.

Spotted the cake.

This year's reunion dinner was quite special for my family. My uncle and his family ain't joining us for the reunion dinner this year and my brother was still in Germany. Therefore, it left 4 of us including my parents having the reunion dinner. The table ain't as crowded as usual. However, it was NICE that my brother can join us for the dinner through the internet. It was lunch for him over there but dinner for us over Malaysia. Technology sure proof that distance can be shorten via video conversation. I'm glad that my family still can get together for reunion dinner though my brother was having on the other place over the wire. Anyway it was a bit of disappointment as I can't join KH, CY, ZW and the rest for that night. However, I stay online till 2 a.m. before going to bed.

7th of February, the first day of Chinese New Year. I woke up quite late for this year, around 9 something. After having breakfast, went to my uncle's house where all my relatives will meet together. When we reached there was roughly 11 something, other relatives were already there. For last few years, my family was always first to reach. But not for this year. LOL...After 1p.m, we went to Penang Buddhist Association to pray before went back home.

8th of February, it was a special day. We were going to throw a surprise party for ZW, just before she left us to further her studies in Australia. I suppose to join CY,ST and YY to buy things for the party that afternoon. However, due to some reason, I couldn't join them. ><" Luckily, I was managed to join the party at night. Thanks to KH for picking me up. =) When we arrived with Chin Hong at ZW's aunty house, ST,Weng Liang, Chun You and JX already there...blowing the balloons. Well...I joined in. LOL...blowing balloons was a fun thing to do also. And later on, others arrived...GS, TZ, JJ, Jia Rong, CY, Han Tung, Chia Huey and YY. We were fooling around while preparing and planning. And of course, GS didn't change at all, still the same old GS, crapping his 'theory' there. LOL...Anyway, we all did prepared a card for her. All of us, leave her a message and signed while VJS member, ST and YY had prepared a photo album for her. Well...it was nice that we all got the chance to look at it. The photos were so NICE especially the first photo. LOL...During that time, ZW still don't have any idea about the surprise party. Her relatives and family members were helping us with the surprise party. And thanks to that, it was a real surprise for ZW. After she came in the house after dinner, she saw ST and YY in the living room. She was like....'How come you all are here..." LOL...the surprise didn't end there. Both of them lead her to the dining room where all of us gave her a surprise with the 'party poppers'.She was like speechless for quite a moment. LOL...And Weng Liang came out behind the curtain and gave her 'a bouquet of flowers'. Well...after that, it was hug for them and photo session. LOL...too bad I don't have the photos but I believe others will post it soon. Later after that, we drink and eat while chatting, singing songs and also piano performances from ZW, GS and YY. Something not to be left out, WL still help ZW to finish the beer when we insisted that she must at least drink it. Other than that, 'he' still feed 'her' the cherry while 'she' feed 'him' the chocolate. *wink* Photos will help to explain what have actually happened that night. LOL...

GS requested for this photo...don't know his intention...lol...

GS crapping time, Chin Hong and Tze Jian look like his fans.

Everyone enjoying themselves.

ZW and WL...LOL...what's their expression...kekez

p/s: more photos on Chrocky's blog...others photos shall be posted if received.

We left there around 2 something in the morning but the fun didn't end there. We proceed to ZW's house. However it left KH, CY, GS , Chun You, Han Tung, ST, YY and me there. Well...we chat and ate the snacks provided. I need to spend a little bit more time with her as I can't send her off at the airport on 9th February. We left at 3.50a.m. So damn sleepy at that moment. Just before I left, a hug with ZW. Argh...felt so sad at that time because it came up in my mind that ZW is going to left. sob ><" A last message sent to her when I back to house. Felt that it was a must for me to do so. Went to bed with an 'upset' heart...miss her so much. 9th February, it was the day, the day ZW gonna left for Australia. Thought I can talk to her that morning but it seems like she was kinda busy that moment. Too bad I can't send her off, need to attend my French class that morning. ><" On my way to the class, I received a call from YY that GS still didn't show up his face. OMG....He sure overslept. I call his house and it was confirmed that the lazy fellow still sleeping on his bed. He should be the one that represent Gang of 5 to send ZW off...end up none of us send her. Felt so sorry for that but this doesn't mean that we're going to forget about her. In fact, we not just wouldn't forgot about her but to miss her a lot too. In the French class, I could hardly pay attention. I was damn sleepy and yet thinking about how was the atmosphere there in the airport. Just wish if I could be there. Finally it was the day she left. Can hardly believe this. Well, for the past few days after SPM, always hang out or meet with her. So ZW was like a part of the life. Therefore, it is no doubt that I'm missing her. I believe not just me but all her friends here in Penang miss her too. Well..just hope she can take good care of herself there and adapt real soon. Lastly ALL THE BEST to ZHAO WEI! And I can guarantee that I'll never forgot about YOU. NEVER...In fact, miss YOU a lot. So just don't change too much yea.... =)
