It is more than a week since all of us celebrate Chinese New Year today. How's everyone angpow market this year??? Mine is so so LARR... slight drop as compare to last year, hmmm... I think.

As we were mostly bored sitting at home, watching ASTRO munching our CNY cookies, BBQ meat away, we decided to crash at Amy's hometown for day-8 CNY celebration aka "PAI TIAN KUNG" 拜天公 (Prayer to Jade Emperor). We drove like for 2 hours or more to Teluk Intan to her home, gosh, that is one long distance to crash!!

Here's the member-member... kakakakaka...

While going home... I was being disturbed by my own members, pictured taken with my own camera!!

Chui Li then was playing Softlan advert pose at the back. That was partly because one of the automatic window was wounded half way up and staled, therefore we had to anticipate the rain seeping through before hand by preparing ourselves with towels. Duh!

Sometime the thoughts of being 30 soon (Oops! for revealing) can be kinda scary especially you are in this period of uncertainty what's going to like for life ahead...

Bad day continued...

I tried to be a very good girl... but bad things seemed to be happening to me often lately. Where is the end to this leh???

Shits Happens - And its already 2.47am

What were you guys doin at 2.47am? Are you awake because tomorrow is a holiday?

It is a holiday for me, but I would've sleep earlier because I promised my friend I would go to that Sg. Klah hot spring with her the next morning.

But now... I am still awake... all because earlier in the evening My dog Jewel ran out and bit on a passerby. Since he insisted that he wants the rabies jab, so my bro and I went all over the place to find one place that has it, and at last ended up at UH emergency wad.

We sat there for the next 5 hours, waiting waiting like taking forever.

Eventually we found out that the jab cost RM280! and that guy must take 5 jabs as a course.

Coming home, then my mom is acting up all neurotic about this whole episode giving me shit when I already had enough of it. Oh well... shit happens I guess...
