I'm still aliveeee!!! =P 5A's 2B's for PMR!!! >.<
People usually ask what I got for PMR, itz there... =P Most of you people have heard that the magnitude 9 earthquake in Taiwan has messed up the internet connection all over the world rite? ;P OBVIOUSLY!!! Taiwan, plz fix it quick!!! ='(
Well, this kinda means I won't be able to update as frequently as I like, that's one reason anyways... I'm gonna be busy for the next 2 or 3 days. Finishing part 2 of my mum's books and also my Commonwealth Essay... >.< Holiday Hmwk... Aiks! ;P
I'll talk about yesterday then!!! =P BoRiz and Steffi organised an outing as congratz for the PMRians =P Namely, Darius, Sabrina and I. Hehe... Their dad gave them 5 free tickets to Aquaria, KLCC and free movie tickets for GSC cinemas!!! Well, BoRiz, Steffi and I got on the LRT at Wangsa Maju Putra station, we got to KLCC, then headed to Kinokuniya to meet Sabrina... We met Darius on the way =P (Congrats for the straight A's again >.<)
Then we went to the KLCC Convention Centre... ate Kenny Rogers, and then finally... AQUARIA!!! It was really kewl!!! But I just didn't understand why they had to keep playing Pirates of The Carribean... >.< Owh... Anyways, it was really fun and I really enjoyed it...
I gotta go now!!! I'll continue when I get the chance... BYE... >.<

Christmas Morning
This morning I woke up real late!!! >.< Then I spent some time in my room reading and listening to music before I went down and looked for breakfast, then I took a bath upstairs and came down again for Brunch...
In case you didn't notice, there's no mention of the traditional wake up early, wake up parents party or the opening of presents. =( Yeah, it's true... No family snowball fight like in the movies... No joyful shouts as we check the stockings above the fireplace for those little gifts which we munch on while awaiting the Christmas Dinner with Stuffed Turkey and Cranberry Sauce... Nope... Not here... =(
Here's what I did after brunch... parents and sisters dropped Steph and I at AP (Ampang Point) where I helped Steph out with some last minute Christmas Shopping... I won't spoil her suprises for others so don't think I'm gonna list down what we bought as gifts. =P I did end up with 2 earrings, some candy, and a couple of cute badges for my pencilcase as part of back to school preparation... and both Steph and I got a donut and a drink each... =P Mmmm... Chocolate... No wonder I'm gaining weight =P hehe...
After that, I headed over to Steph's house cause the rest of my family was at my Grandparents house. Hao Zhe was there too, so bout 5p.m. he, Jon, and I took a bike each and cycled around the neighbourhood. We went to UKRC a couple of times, then to my house (where we climbed over the wall to grab my basketball >.<) and to an old coffeeshop. (Hao Zhe belanja-ed!!! =P) Later on, we went to my grandparents house for the traditional chinese Christmas Dinner =P Not much turkey, but I did enjoy the lamb and prawns ;P Hehe... Not badlarrr... =P After that, the parents tried to coax us Grandkids into carolling for the Grandparents =P In the end, they had to threaten us with the prospect of NO presents!!! >.< quick ="P" href="http://www.newgrounds.com">NewGrounds, while the younger kids played some games... =P
A few hours later, we ciao'ed and headed home... chatted for awhile wit BoRiz and then I crashed..... ~Dish...~
Okay, datz all I guess... =P Oh, and if anyone has information on Cempaka International, like costs and benefits and stuff, I really appreciate it if you tell me... Thankz!!! =P

Owh... >.<
Last night, I asked someone a question... obviously I didn't get an answer and to top it off, I think I hurt him... and I felt so guilty because I set off the whole thing... If you're reading this, I just want you to know that I don't care what other people think about you and that nobody's perfect... I just wish you would have the confidence to trust me... and I'm sorry if I did anything wrong okay? =/
Emo stuff aside, I need to make a correction to the Christmas Gift List... Aunt Irene actually gave me multi-coloured bead necklace with a shell pendent with sequins on it... It's really nice and I like to thank her very much for it! =D Also, my sis gave me her beanie!!! =P I like it!!! ;P Thanks Juan! =D
Okay... I was just checking out some stuff on MSN just now, and... I found an interesting bit of wisdom...
Advice from the iVillage boards: "Our feelings may not be entirely in our control, but our responses are our choice. You have to choose to be happy, choose to be the bigger person, choose not to let someone impact your life in a negative way."
This is really great advice, and I'm really gonna use it... =P I hope you guyz get something out of it too! =P
Before I sign off, I think that you guys would want to check out this article I found.
What Matters Most? Top Ten from iVillage.
Okay, gotta rush to my Grandparents house now, ciao!!!

Heyy!!! Today was really an all out day!!! =D
ISCA had a Christmas Party and it was really, really fun!!! Tons of new faces! =P Yeap, I met a bunch of guys from MBS and stuff. The one gang I hanged out with included Boon Yew, Kelvin, Sherman and Neo. =P At least datz what I think the spelling is >.< color="#ffcc99">Neo's name cracked up the guys, they were all goin like "The One, The One.." ;p Matrix Gila! Lol. Sherman's name got John cracking up on Saruman too... >.< color="#ffffff">Praise God!!! ;P
I got called out by Joyee and Jimi for one of the games, they will GET IT from me soon!!! Hehehe... =P Actually it wasn't that badlarr, Lol.
The Game:
There were 5 groups of 2, 1 guy 1 gal. We had to peel a lemon and a lime with our hands, AND eat both of it! The wash it all down however, was a 'Secret Recipe' drink concocted by Joyee and Jimi >.< Ingredients include Salt, Vinegar, Sugar, Pepper, Cereal, Apple Cider, spice, and tons of other SECRET INGREDIENTS!!! Ewhhh...
The Outcome:
I ate/drank everything except the lime... it was too hard to eat, and my partner's thumb actually bled while he tried to peel it!!! Owh! >.<
Anyways, after the whole party the troublesome duo, Joyee and Jimi went around with a fresh batch of their drink, and sure enough, I drank another cup =P Hehe...
K, gotta go readers!!! Christmas Party iz at UKRC now!!! =P Ciao!

A MidValley Outing

Today, I was hanging out at MidValley wit some people from ISCA!!! =P That included Darius, Timothy, Justin, Boriz, Sabrina, Carmen, Samantha, another gal (forgot her name >.<) and moi! =P First thing's first, we (Excluding Justin and Sabrina) met up at Wangsa Maju Putra LRT station, then we took a train to KL Sentral, and then took KTM to MidValley. =) To tell the truth, this was a rare event for me, since I rarely take public transport... >.< color="#ffcc33">Group 1 watched Eragon and Group 2 watched Curse Of The Golden Flower. It's obvious what some people chose... =P We then took a look around in a sports shop and a record shop for a bit before we had 'brunch' at McD's ;P That's when Sabrina and Justin turned up, a little late... (Justin overslept =P) After that, Group 1 went into the cinema first, while Group 2 spent another extra 15 mins hanging out at the arcade... Then we got snacks and went in to enjoy the movie...
Curse of The Golden Flower was actually quite good, the storyline was complicated, but it was really interesting and it got my attention. =D My rating is 8/10 In short, GO WATCH IT!!! =P
After the movie, I got a pleasant suprise, I got my very first Christmas present of the year!!! It was a beautiful necklace, (I'll post the pic up somehow, sometime...) and I loved it!!! Thankz BoRiZ! =P Anywayz, Group 2 spent more time at the arcade while Group 1 hanged out at the Food Court for some time... I had fun trying out this DJ game over there, I sucked at it though >.< color="#6633ff">VOS!!! ;P We saw Benji there too... He didn't realise we were there till he broke his eyes away from the screen =P
After that, the two group merged and we went Bowling!!! Most of the other girls went shopping though... >.<>"Unusual" happened like when I went there wit Para, Fiz, Ardi and Idzham all dat... But it was GREAT. ;P Here are the standings:
1. Timothy
2. Darius
3. BoRiZ
4. Sabrina
5. Lex (Owh)
6. Justin
Note: I need to get out more!!! >.<
Well, that's about all that happened... I had to go home early with my mom because she was afraid the traffic would be heavy >.< The others, will be staying on until bout 6p.m. I guess... Sob... I wanted learn to play pool!!! =( Oh well, I can't complain, I've been out for quite a bit liao!!! ;P I had a great day and a wonderful outing but Nothing Is Free, it's time to practise a solid hour of piano!!! >.<" Sob... Save me Readers!!!! I'll be back in a bit!!! =P

Hey Readers!!! I’m blogging to you live!!! From Rosedale Bistro all the way over from Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands!!! =P That pretty much explains why there is a lack of updates from moi, but don’t worry, this quaint eatery here has wi-fi and fortunately, my dad brought his new high speed laptop, and, BOOM, connection to civilization at once! =P
Obviously, Word on The Street is over… my Tuesday and Sunday nights will never be the same again… Sob… I’m gonna miss hanging out, making new friends, serving the Lord… Sob… However, I was glad that we put on a spectacular performance on the last night!!! ;P It felt so supercharged and… right… =P The first night was chun, I felt good about it.

Oh well, my familia, (family in Spanish…) and Ash and Meg’s famiglia (family in Italian… XD) came on the first day… Rendering me pretty much, EXTREMELY nervous!!! I had to distress like crazy with my CD player and my Black G1 Pilot Gel Pen… Yeap, again with the pen… for those of you who didn’t know, that’s my preferred media for art… It’s actually quite interesting to experiment different styles and techniques with a pen. ;P
The second night, I got a heart attack when my extended family turned up, meaning my grandparents and my cuz’s too! >.<>.< But this night was kinda different, I just felt… ready… Like, who cares if I act different from like I usually do at home? It’s acting… =P So I just went and did it, and by the Grace of God, I didn’t do anything stupid! =P It was a miracle!
After the whole thing was over, cast and crew had a photo shoot, and I was still so pumped that I somehow got an entire group singing Free out loud, complete with flower confetti and newspapers!!! =P Hey, I’m a teen, I was full of adrenaline, I wasn’t gong waste it right? ;P It felt good thought, =P, Joyee, Jimi, me pretty much had some fun up on the loft, tossing flowers to Sirn Loong so he could transform into Ferdinand, =P, which he did, btw… =P Yeap, good memories…
The after party was actually supposed to be held at some café… But, there were some difficulties, so we didn’t manage to do it then… But no worries people! We’ll have fun at MidValley diz Friday! =P Thanks to a certain Jay Chou fan! Lol. ;P
K, gotta ciao, I’ll be back l8er, with some tales of my holiday trip!!! ;P

Here's Some Food For Thought...
I've been pretty busy for the past few days, because of rehearsals, so I haven't had much time to actually blog! =P Well, rehearsals were really fun, and I enjoyed every moment of it... Last night however, was GREAT!!! It was the first public performance of Word on The Street! Ohhh Yeahhh! =P We Rocked! ;P
To tell the truth I was pretty much relaxed yesterday... The whole family went out to eat at this fancy Italian restaurant called Modesto's, which was at the core of the city, complete with Bars and Dance Clubs for entertainment! This is actually the original restaurant from which the branches grew... =P It's actually a new concept dining, and I think it's pretty good! =) Inside, the deco was fab! It was practically fine dining for nightlife. =P Outside, it was the perfect chill-out and hang out place after a hard night of dancing! Woot! ;P There's Bar Ibiza and Bar UNO1
Well, we went there for lunch. Trust me, the place is awesome! My course consisted of:
Lex's Main Course
RAVIOLI al TARTUFO NERO, con CREMA di SPINACI
Home made ravioli, filled with Truffle mushrooms from Piemonte Region and parmiggiano reggiano, topped with dedicated spinach sauce
2 Pizzas (Shared by the whole family)
TONNO E FUNGHI
Tomatoes, mozzarella cheese mushroom and tuna
HAWAIANA
Tomatoes, mozzarella, turkey ham , onion and pineapple
Lex's Drink
Watermelon Juice
Lex's Wanted Dessert (Which I didn't get... Sob... Too Full...)
TORTINO AL CIOCCOLATO CON GELATO ALLA VANIGLIA
Sinful chocolate brownies with vanilla ice-cream
Let's just say, I LOVE Italian food, so when I ate the Ravioli here, I went to Seventh Heaven. LOL. I tried Ravioli in Thailand before and I didn't really enjoy it... But here, the Ravioli paired with delicious truffles and warm spinach sauce was extremely delicious, sastifying and filling! =P It looked a little off-putting at first when it came, because the Ravioli was smothered in the Milky Green spinach sauce. ;P But it tasted SOO GOOD! >.< color="#ccffff">truffles in pizza! =P Hehe... Yes, it was THAT good. my mom thought otherwise though... she prefers Chinese Wanton... Me, being Lex, simply ADORES Italian food however! =P
LASAGNA DI CARNE
Ovenbaked layered pasta with meat and cream fillings
My sis's had the Lasagne, and judging from the way they scraped the plate clean... it must be pretty good. After all, we're talkin about the same bunch of sisters who usually never eat a FULL meal during lunch. =P Well, it's pretty much Lasagne... I don't know how to make it seem exotic and stuff, but I can see how good it looked, plus my sis's REFUSED to share!!! >.<
There was only one disappointment in the entire course, THE DRINKS. >.< color="#33ff33">RM 11+ >.< and trust me, I expected PURE watermelon juice... But the drinks were really watered down... =.=" It just wasn't right... Next time, I'm ordering Evian or Perrier... it's not worth paying SO much for mamak stall drinks... x.x
The dessert I wanted, but never got seemed delicious enough... But trust me, Cilantros is definitely the best I have been too, it's still top on my list, but since I need to budget well... Modesto's would be counted the second for fine Italian cuisine! =P

Here's My Test Results from TrueMatch... =P
Mr. Right - His Personality
What are you really looking for?
Your ideal match is flexible, innovative and smart. He's got a robust love of life and a killer instinct. Chances are he hates rules, and doesn't plan on getting old. He's unusually friendly and has a way of earning people's respect wherever he goes.
Is he a rare breed?
Approximately 7% of men have that exact personality type. Another 19% are similar to the type you're looking for.
What makes him different from other men?
It's that your ideal man prefers to be modest and tends to be laidback when when others might panic about all that needs to get done.
Who's your competition?
About 5% of women your age are after the exact type of man you are. And 7% of men have that personality type.As you can see, your ideal man is in low demand.
What's so compelling about him?
Women are most attracted to the extent to which your ideal man is easy-going.
Uhmm... Yesh, I made a few mistakes on the post cause I was in a rush, it's fixed now though. =P

I just got back from a GREAT practice at Flamingo Hotel!!! Word On The Street is gonna be a HIT! =P I really hope you guyz come watch this production... Duhh... I'm in it! =P This production really helped me feel more involved in church and ministry, and I feel more confident because of stuff like this. =)
The Star is coming to gather material tomorrow, and hopefully, they might do a print on it on Friday or Saturday. =P The filming for the VCD's and stuff will be done tomorrow too, I can't wait, I hope I make the cut. =S Well, practice today was fun, I had fun with the mics and hats mostly. =P
There were also a few video screenings on Boriz's handphone, the ISCA camp videos were really hilarious! Lol. Diz guy, forgot his name >.<, feigned a gay German accent and prank-called McD's to order emotional food. =P Hehe... Farni! =) These guys woke people up in the middle of the night to kacau them... so-called 'rape'... Then Benjamin sumthin did diz exaggerated performance of being a tambourine dancer... >.<
... Some things are better off not seen... =P
I'm signing out for now, better get some rest before tomorrow's rehearsals, if I'm lucky, my body might let me wake up late for once... >.< I'll write a few reviews and stuff tomorrow, if it doesn't... =P

Life is strange... Guess what I got to lessen your boredom today? =P Here are some stuff, I should've placed ages ago... Special thanks to IGNITE members, Katherine Klem and Amanda Feldman who came to Malaysia to impart the following information...
Did You Know?
1. The Secret To Marlboro is Ammonia...
Yeap, Ammonia is a chemical which enchances the addictiveness of Nicotine... That's all. It doesn't make the cigarette anymore 'harum' or make it more effective... Just more addictive and deadly for people... So that the tobacco companies gain more profit... and people thought they actually had the freedom to choose to smoke... This kinda shows that smokers, even those who inhale second-hand smoke are being forced to continue smoking...
2. 1200 Americans and 27 Malaysians DIE Everyday Because of Tobacco-Related Dieseases...
Ouch... We're being sold death in cartons... We're actually paying to die... >.<
3. Tobacco's Toll: 515,001 kids have become regular smokers in 2006. 164,800 will die prematurely from their addiction.
What more need I say... They're targeting us youth...
4. Big Tobacco SUX.
Why? Animal Cruelty, Exploitation of Farmers, Women, Child Labour, Racial Profiling are just some of the things they do...
To learn more, check out
http://www.bigtobaccosucks.org/home/center.html
5. They definitely target Youth.
Flavoured Cigarettes... advertistments of clubbing... Free gifts that depict a Deejay... They're not targeting out fathers... They're targeting us, head-on.
Read this article on Flavoured Cigarettes... http://www.americanlegacy.org/524.htm
SO?
Think about this people... Why would you wanna smoke? Because you feel like it? Maybe that's because you got addicted, that the ammonia and nicotine in the cigarettes are forcing you to smoke. Maybe because you're bored? Well, why smoke when you can do a thousand things. How about throwing a rad party with tons of people on the subway to spread awareness on tobacco companies? Hello? Way more fun then smoking stuff with a bunch of people... =P

Woohoo! I'm back from ISCA Camp and you know what??? This was BY FAR the BEST camp I've been too! Ohh Yeahh! I fell so supercharged and hyper and ready to go! Woot! oxr! =P This year's ISCA camp was at an NS Campsite in Pahang, and that place was fantastic! But I don't think it was a bed of roses for everyone else... =P Letz take a look see... Hehe...
Majority of the campers POV? =P
Cons
This place is filthy! There's crap on the beds! There's no hot water!? We have a strict curfew because of wild animals!? The weather is terrible! Hot in the afternoon and freezing cold at night and in the morning??? Omg. We have to wash our own dishes!? Lol. The Obstacle Course is disgusting! We have to crawl through mud!!! Jungle trekking was so muddy and dangerous! What is wrong with this place??? I hate waking up so early, I'm exhausted!!!
Pros
I liked the speaker, Carl Butler!=P The food not badlarr... Sports facilities not bad also! Eh, got friends!! What else do I need? ;P The presence of God was really powerful this time.
Lex's POV? =P
Cons
I found crap on my Bible... >.< color="#3333ff">rat, and the phone and Bible was right next to me... =S Yikes. Very hard to shower in the morning. Sob. I sweat a little too much in the hot weather. Night time is velli, velli the cold. =P
Pros
I feel so alive and hyper here!! I'm free to be myself without having to pretend to be all this and that!!! I can actually play basketball with guys without feeling guilty for making my parents embarrased!!! God spoke to me and he touched me!!! I Love Him! =D I made a ton of new friends!! Hehe... I got to play basketball for more than 5 hours non stop without having anyone nagging me and stuff... =P I feel like I have tons of energy and I could just keep going on and on! I can't never do stuff like this back in KL when I'm cooped up at home! It feels great to be able to listen to music loud on my CD player, stay up late and wake up early without my parents nagging me to stop it... I feels wonderful to wake up, stay in bed in peace while I pen down my thoughts and prayers during quiet time without my sisters pestering me until I feel awake enough to get up, wash up then jog or run all the way to the Hall in the fresh air... Most of all, I love gettin to know people more and more... =D
The wonderful scenery was breath-taking... Water Lillies blooming in the early morning... Wild flowers gathered in bunches here and there.... Birds swooping in beautiful, coordinated patterns across the surface of a still pond... Swirling mist, gathered around mountain tops, skimming the surface of the blue sky and hiding the tips of the mountains from sight... Stars clustered in the sky, shining down on the dark path with gentle hope... Inspiring sunsets that last only a few precious moments before time slips away and the light disappears to give way to the night... The quiet stillness which is brought like a veil over the hills as the moon bring the stars out to twinkle ever so mischeviously over us as we dream uninterrupted dreams... It is truly, nature at its best... and I could kick myself for not bringing a camera... >.<
Most of all, I loved the presence of God, which surrounded the place... putting God's veil of righteousness over us that we were able to lift out heads and hands to God to receive is blessing and gifts... to glorify him without shame... I felt set free... I felt so confident... I felt like God was right there holding me, telling me that I'm safe with him... I lost my shame that all my wrong actions had made me unfit to stand before Jesus... But he loved me, he LOVES me! He has already given his life for me... What else could he not give me? =)
I serve a Living God, and I truly do Love him... I was afraid to at first... I thought he would reject me, that I would not be accepted... But he always did... God was just like the speaker, Carl Butler said, he had always been there, asking me to go to him, but I held back... But now I've come back to him, I realised that God was given me time to discover talents I never even knew I had!! He has truly blessed me, and I will serve him willingly with those gifts...
My vision, my goal, is to become a voice, a voice that will be heard, a voice for others, a voice that will change the world, that will make a difference. I want to stand up for God, I want to tell the world what is happening all around us, I want to speak up for myself and others, and dare to announce what I know is right. Jesus is truly a Living God, and he is my Father, he is the Father of my brothers and sisters in Christ, and He Loves Me. This I know for sure, because my Bible told me so... =P
One little thing I like to tell all of you... The presence of God was there, and He blessed us, and many were saved and revived. The last meeting was simply amazing, when all across the place, people, even unbelievers, were all slain on the spot and everyone worshipped the Lord... it was amazing... Here's what's amazing, the total collection of offering given to the Lord as thanks topped every single ISCA camp we've had... A total of RM2006 from 187 teenagers!!! Praise the Lord! This shows, I wasn't the only one who was touched my God. =P
Here's my little secret, I cried 6 times when I was touched by the presence of the Lord, during the meetings... No one saw it... But I felt God there...

Random-ness
Pastoral thoughts...
If I were a pastry in a bakery...
you know what I do?
I look as UNAPPETISING as possible. Why? Because if I strived look deliciously mouth-watering, so as to be bought and consumed immediately, I would face an extremely undesirable chain of events. Duhh...
Let's spectulate on what happens.
Unavoidable scenario should I want to be bought and eaten:
Firstly I would be placed in a human mouth, with bad breath and plaque, and chewed. I'm sure that would hurt quite a bit, plus, the thought of me being chewed up... of me being in another human beings mouth, is disgusting. Then again... I am a pastry... Well, after that...uhmm...very horrible imagined situation, I would be digested and turned into colourless mush. Finally... I would be turned into crap, and discharged into the sewer main.
Conclusion:

Scenario 1
I could be discreetly removed from my display stand and thrown into the garbage bag. The garbage collector would pick up the bag, walk to garbage truck, trip, watch me roll out of the bag, shrug, and leave me, all alone, on the dusty tarmac as the birds peck away mercilessly at my broken and battered body.
Conclusion
Bird... Human... Same crap. =.=" I don't like being alone... Not the the best scenario. >.< Scenario 2
Some poor guy could come along and still decide to eat the stale pastry. Figures.
Conclusion
Need I say more???
Scenario 3
I expire, grow mould, and will be 'donated' to the homeless shelter across the road, and eaten.
Conclusion
Uhh... Mould makes me look fat. Same crap anyways.
Scenario 4
Plane crashes into the bakery and I get burned into ashes. After that, I will be trampled into the vacant lot and mix with dog pee to become organic fertilliser.
Conclusion
Not that keen on cremations, not to mention the annointing of dog excrement... >.< Scenario 5
Bakery assisstant sneaks a bite of me, gets food poisoning and dies.
Conclusion
Are you kidding? I don't want to risk causing harm. What was that? The assisstant? What about him? I was talking about myself. =P
Scenario 6
Mice.
Conclusion
Same crap. I hate mice more. They nibble.
Well... I guess the bottomline and final result would be...
FINAL RESULT:
Never wish to be a pastry... or any other matter which is not a homo sapien for that matter. It's simply not cut out to become a frog, just to get a beautiful wife who loves amphibians. Trust me. =P

Well, I hope you guyz liked KLG Sqwad's stuff! Yes, I did that in my usual time limit. =P I haven't much time to blog now actually. Just taking a short break from my work. Yeap, I'm writing the books for my mum again! =P Anyways, since I review most of the stuff in my life. Here's another review about the totally happening sales jumpin up over at Sri Hartamas Shopping Centre!
What happened was I pretended to be smsing on my hp while I actually took down notes of some of the shops I visited. =P Sneaky me! XD I didn't actually shop, I pretty much just walked around with my mom. >.<
Here's what's fresh:
1. Prima shoe shop are having sales and though it is still a little too much for a tight budget of a tennager...(Yeah right. Hehe... ) The quality and decoratice designs aren't bad in fact. =P
2. A clothes store called Mastina is also having sales, and though their stock ain't exactly my style =P, It's pretty good. The majority of the clothing is Bohemian inspired, layers and bright colors and such. XD
3. The Sony shop over there is chock full with new gadgets. In fact, I already found something to work for. =P Of course, it'll take up more than half of my first salary, but once I finish the second job then I'll be able to afford it quite easily. =P
www.sony.com.my for more details
4. XES shoes store is also doing quite well. Most prices are in the range of RM29.99- RM39.99. The designs are practical, elegant and perfect for evenings or going out. =D
5. For all those guyz looking out for tux's for the prom, check out Suit, Tux and Blazer, they're are having a promotional sale for 2 pc suits. RM 299. I'm not actually sure what's the average price for stuff like these, but it seemed okay. >.<
Well, if you're really stumped for choices, check out Campbell Complex, also known as the main shop point for tailors. It's full to the brim with tailors! =P Take your pick.
The address?
Campbell Complex,
Jalan Dang Wangi,
50100 KL.

KLG SQWAD
They set you up on fire,
No need for amplifiers.
They're bridge builders with a message to tell,
Nothing they set up is that easy to fell.
So listen to what they tell you,
their song's a letter with a pace.
KLG Sqwad is to be reckoned with,
don't let their message go to waste.

2 days down to ISCA camp, I challenged Sirn Loong to a basketball match, hehe... Loser buys dinner!! =P
Okay, the most interesting that happened to me yesterday was not that I met some old and new friends working at a stall, nor was it that my auntie, the super thin, gives me full choice of her wardrobe auntie, had just moved to Mount Kiara, which is a super $$$ neighbourhood btw. I'm so envious of her! =P But, that wasn't the most interesting thing I actually met up with actually... Wanna know what was the cool thing that happened??? =P Get ready for it... hehe...
I was in the car, my sis's arguing as usual, my mum and dad ignoring us and trying to get clear directions to my aunt's new apartment. As usual, I stared out the window, listening to Fly.fm and being blar. Then I heard the deejay announce that song requests could be sent by SMS. Well, since I finally had a handphone, I decided to try it out. After all, I had nothing better to do. So I requested a song. Then I got an SMS saying I had to register. I registered as Lex and requested for Justin Timberlake, Cry Me A River. Guess what? Datz when the car pulled up at this swanky apartment I had to leave the car. Figures.
Well, there I was, cursing my bad luck until I reached the living room and drowned my sorrows in my cousin's XBox 360, that's when I got a call. =P I picked up and was really, really blur when this guy announced "Hey, Lex? We played your song request, this is Ben from Fly.fm and you've just won a spanking, new CD!!! Woohoo!!"
Blur me couldn't believe it and suddenly it all snapped, whoa, I won something on the radio, and I didn't even know how I did it. Well, I found out later that Fly.fm, has this Must Have Music Request thing where people request the songs they wanna hear and everyday, someone picks up a new CD, by chance! Whoo! Lucky me. =P Well, I answered a few questions, did a shoutout to all the Cempakans. =P introed Evanescense, Call Me When You're Sober and Fly.fm, It's All About The Music! =P After the whole recording thing, they asked if they could use my voice for radio some more, cause I sounded like a pro. OOH, so proud!!! Hahaha... well, I said yeah, no prob and they hung up pretty much after that. I didn't take it seriously then... and I thought that was it. The End.
Well, today started off well, guess what? Ben called me again, to chat! Hahaha... They changed me name to Jamie, and they used me once again, to chat about Paris Hilton and I got to request another song of my choice, which turned out to be their choice... But I loved Greenday anyways! Lol. It was a really fun experience. =P Now I wonder if it'll come up again? hehe...
Well, that's pretty much the interesting stuff I did today, unless you count catching Gong Fu in a Santa costume at assembly in school! =P
Well, I better leave a note about this superkewl group from Klang, KLG SQWAD !!! They're sizzlin and hot off the rack, Owwhh! they totally got rad music, so note to all readers, CHECK THEM OUT!!! I'll be putting up a link to their blog on my Linkage so that everyone can be posted on all future events, gigs, albums and all such. In fact, you could totally live off their samples of music for now while you wait for their album! It's THAT HOT people!

Heyy readers! =P i'm sorry for the delay but I was away on the weekends and when I came back, the internet connection was down!!! SOB... Oh well, it's fixed now and I've got a ton to tell you guys! Hehe...
Let's start with my weekend, I got an sms from an old primary school friend, Zhen Sern who invited me back to join the scouts camp. For those of you who didn't know, yes, I was a scout, don't be shocked. =P Hey, where else would I have learned how to march huh? Hehe... Oh well, I went of course, and came to notice 2 very obvious things:
1. I couldn't recognise most of my old friends, and they didn't recognise me either. =P
2. they were all TALLER than me!!! Sob.
Well, going back to scouts camp rendered me a blur sotong, due to the fact that I had less than 3 hours of sleep on Friday night and Saturday morning. About 5 hours on saturday night... Yeah, I pretty much ran on pure adrenaline. hehe... Plus, the fact that Zhen Sern's phone could play music LOUD. =P Justin Timberlake was pretty much the much played choice.
Cooking is fun btw, it's a very enlightening experience. Zhen Sern, Vicky and I had to prepare dinner all by ourselves and it was pretty good in fact, considering the fact that the cincau was a tad overboiled and the chicken was oversalted. =P
One more thing, that hit me hard about how lazy I was at home, >.<, was not the fact that I was not used to sleeping on the hard ground, in a tent with very poor air-circulation, but the fact that I had to sleep really, really close to 4 other people. Lol. Even though I was drained of all energy, I could barely sleep cause I felt really uncomfortable touching everyone else with every move I made. Blekz! Phobia? Nah... I coped pretty well, hmm, maybe I am slightly claustrophobic, hehe, don't really like being smothered. =P
After scouts camp, I was unmercifully whisked away to KCP to bowl with my family and my parents friends families as well. =p I won both games I bowled with Ash, Meg, Flo, Steph, Justin, Brian and Jia. Hehe... Brandon kinda disappeared after the second turn... hmm... Wonder where she, I mean, he went. ;P Then Steph and I went to this restaurant on the first floor to have dinner. The food was quite okay, but we suffered from sloooowww service. The waiters certainly lived up to their name, we really had to WAIT. =P Then we were kinda late for practise. =P Mostly my fault, yes. Hehe...
By this time, I was really drained,, I pretty much stumbled though the whole thing with my eyes closed, I'm so lucky that I didn't stumble... that much. ;P... c'est la vie
Well, I'm gonna take a break here, before I tell you about the incredible day I had yesterday, I'll just skip Monday cause nothing actually happened. =P So, ciao for now.
