it is a good time for the internet junkie! guess who just got a free Sony Ericsson k660i to go online with to all her heart’s content? yesssss, lucky me :D actually no lah, i don’t get to keep the phone forever; i only get it for a brief period so that i can learn the ropes of this phone to write this short review about it.

after discovering the wonderful world of 3G and getting myself one of those unlimited data browsing plans, all i really care about now is surfing the internet on my mobile phone :P so this phone came JUST at the right time, because apparently the k660i’s focus is all about its internet browsing charm. score!!!!! there is nothing an internet addict loves more than a phone made just for internet addicts :D
two reasons why i like the k660i : the HSDPA-enhanced browsing and the desktop feed ticker.

HSDPA, or also known as 3.5G, is an evolution of 3G that greatly increases data download speeds. it’s broadband-like speed right from your mobile phone :) it’s great. streaming American Idol straight from Youtube has never been better or smoother. i’ve also been happily showing everyone within reach all my favourite Jeon Ji Hyun commercials from my profile in Youtube, because all the videos load so quickly with HSDPA, and Jeon Ji Hyun is only like the cutest and hottest creation of God, EVER. watch the Giordano and KFC ads that i have on my profile and you’ll see what i mean! and while you’re at it, do watch the other ads i’ve got there because they’re all really good… hahaha especially the one titled ‘Best commercial ever’ :D hehehe le giggle.

the k660i also has this really awesome ticker function that brings your news feeds automatically to your phone’s desktop. yup, breaking news headlines from your favourite news sites straight to your desktop without you having to search for ‘em, complete with thumbnails of accompanying photos. and after some tinkering around i found that i could get automatic update flashes of blogs from this feed widget too :D see, i’ve got a masak-masak.blogspot.com update on my desktop.

my brother tells me that the k660i is the cheapest HSDPA-enabled phone on the market, and it retails at around rm890. quite cheap right? my brother’s friend actually wanted to buy the k660i off me to give to his girlfriend. sooooo nice :\ why nowadays all the school kids so loaded wan, can buy mobile phones for girlfriend :\ chow eeyang why last time you never buy mobile phone for me!!!
thus ends my very n00b review of the Sony Ericsson k660i. thank you timothy for arranging this for me :)

i had a really good time in Bangkok (and rushed like crazy from the airport to the Malaysian Dreamgirl finale!) over the weekend. i’m back home now, and suddenly there seems like a lot of things to do in too short a timespan, but i look forward to the upcoming preoccupation. it will be good to soak myself in BOTH happy and exciting things, before i commit myself fully to only one or the other in time to come. the truth is, i want to be happy; it was very obvious from the way i chose to flip my coin at Suvarnabhumi today. but then ‘exciting’ sounds too good to pass up. and maybe excitement will breed a different brand of happy.. who knows.
oh and for the curious, Cindy won Malaysian Dreamgirl. Adeline was the first runner-up. Hanis was the second runner-up who looked visibly shocked that her name was called first, and who also had her own fanclub posse all decked out in red ‘Vote Hanis!’ tshirts and cheering for her incessantly at the finale. no, i didn’t manage to take a picture with Cindy’s dad :\ but i did manage to take many funny pictures with many funny people, mostly involving the recent loss of my epidermal perfection. under my nose, to be exact. hahaha. kawan kawan sekalian, please send me all the pictures, ok!!! i want to put them up :P
April 30th, 2008
here’s the lowdown on my status : tired, hella sleepy from the recent (successful!) recalibration of my body clock, voice sore from screaming back and forth in a noisy club, knee scraped from a lousy fall when i tripped over my own feet, hungry because i forgot to have dinner!!, but most importantly - bags unpacked :(
i’m leaving in the morning for a long overdue holiday somewhere not so far away :) it is a sort of runaway-getaway, clear-my-head kinda thing. only, the original plan was to go alone, but it has since been hijacked by an incorrigible idiot who insisted i set my holiday back two weeks so that he could come along after his exams. haih. bencinya T____T
anyway yes lah i haven’t packed and i’m so tired, but i’m sitting here blogging because there’s a few things i want to blog about!
1. COLLEGE
the first and most crucial is my college decision, because this one involves a deadline. i have to send in my replies to all my schools by Monday, but until now i still haven’t decided on a school. i’ve narrowed it down to two - University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Columbia University in Manhattan, New York City.
okay i seriously need help in making a decision here :( please help, ok? if you know anything about UPenn, Philly, Columbia and New York City, pleaseeeee leave me a comment with all you have to say. i would muchly appreciate it. here are the attractions of both schools to me, and put side-by-side is precisely why i am so undecided :
Penn : big Malaysian community, has my intended major of Philosophy-Politics-Economics aka PPE, close to my aunt who lives in Pennsylvania (this means board during spring/winter break! and of course seeing my lovely aunt whom i love), the presence of Wharton (arguably the best business school in the world) where i may consider doing a dual degree in finance, Chenchow’s opinion that a Penn degree is more recognized in our part of the world (i’m not sure about this!), a warm, friendly and sociable student body that i know i will fit into and love.
Columbia : small Malaysian community (can be a good thing), the fact that i was accepted as a Scholar (more on this later), it’s in the extremely exciting and thriving New York City, nicer dorms than Penn, dorms are RM 3200/year cheaper, a school known for exciting events and its artistic (but potentially snobby) culture, and FREE TICKETS TO BROADWAY!!
i only just found out a few days ago that i was named a Scholar by Columbia upon admission, because i’d completely overlooked the letter when it came in my admissions packet. the perks for me as a Scholar are - arranged meetings and discussions with world renowned speakers, academic enhancement programs, first dibs when choosing courses, a conferred special title upon graduation, cool internships with program partners like the NYC Mayor’s Office and … JP Morgan Chase, muahahahaha (sorry, inside joke :P), better research and study opportunities, and free Broadway tickets!! yes you can tell the last part excites me the most :) in a nutshell, it’s a kinda ‘elite’ student program where the participating students get all these added benefits and probably more that i dont know about.
i only have 2 days left to decide :( please help me reason this out. do you guys think the perks offered by the Scholar’s Program and the excitement of NYC is worth giving up Penn? after all, if i went to Penn, NYC is only two hours away… sigh. so emoe. do leave me your comments ok? and i even modified my Nuffnang poll to have my college options instead. haha. *points to right side* please answer my poll! thank youuu :)
2. AMERICAN IDOL
okay first of all. CARLY DID NOT DESERVE TO GET VOTED OUT. /stomps around
i didnt know this week was Andrew Lloyd Webber week, and when i found out at the start of the show, all i could do was jump up and down, screaming PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!! and i am so happy because David Archuleta sang my favourite Phantom song - Think of Me, and he did it beautifully. this performance of his, as well as Imagine from Lennon-McCartney week, proves that this 17 year old kid deserves to win American Idol 2008. yes, any Phantom fan would know that he botched up the words to one part of Think Of Me, but the clever thing to do was make up new words that sat nicely to correct timing - which David Archuleta did, AND which Brooke did not, and deserved to be voted out for.
and my favourite Idol contestant of all, David Cook, sang Music of the Night from Phantom. now i dont usually like this song, because the love that the Phantom has for Christine was just never communicated rightly to me through the song. in fact i always found the song kind of scary, in a perverse way. but when David sang that song this week, it all just became so clear. oh the tenderness! the emotion! the love. there is no doubt about it - David Cook owns my heart and soul. *dramatic*
i’m hoping to see a Battle of the Davids in the finals. and before this i wanted Carly as number 3, but now i guess that’s not possible. Jason Cook is good and i like him, but he’s shown that a lack of versatility is his problem. his rendition of Memory from Cats was just awful :(
3. Return of the TV shows!
yesssssss Gossip Girl is back, and it seems the trends of stockings and ribboned headbands are here to stay :\ it’s a delicious new episode, this one, and the next one is going to be even more explosive! new character introduced!
and guess what else is back?? GREY’S ANATOMY, that’s what!!! yes it was too long a hiatus, but i’m just glad that it’s back at all - i jumped out of bed instantly to IMDB it when Jay texted me in the morning that Grey’s was back and showing in America in a few hours. hehe it’s torrenting now as i write this. oh how i have missed my McDreamy! and the delicious and scandalous lives of the cast of surgeons :D Scotty, try not to puke okay hehe. you know you love McDreamy too!
4. i remember having a fourth thing to blog about but sleepiness is really getting the best of my memory. le sigh. i’m going to pack at turbo speed now and then sleep :) goodnight all.
April 26th, 2008
and so the Top 3 of Malaysian Dreamgirl has been decided upon :)
it was interesting to see that Jay, Nadia and Hanis won Kenny’s catwalk challenge last week, with Hanis getting replaced by Adeline after she was disqualified. i think a lot of people are of the opinion that this challenge was a good barometer of the talent in this competition, and that Jay, Nadia and Hanis deserved the most to emerge as our Top 3.
the Couture Batik photoshoot in the same episode is my favourite shoot to date - exquisite dresses, gorgeous hair and makeup, and the floral-themed graphic design was a lovely touch! below are each of the Top 6 girls’ pictures along with my commentary; please read on only if you have watched the latest episode and already know who the Top 3 are :)
1. HANIS

Hanis’ pictures is absolutely stunning and my favourite of the bunch. it is flawless in my humble opinion - face, posture, dress, mood are all 10/10. yes, i do think she deserves to be in the Top 3, and i wasnt surprised when Andrew of Andrew’s Models singled her out as his favourite and the one with the most potential in the Top 6. like Cheryl Samad and Sazzy Falak, Hanis has the young and sweet look that has proven to sit very well with the Malaysian audience. she’s pretty, chatty, has presence and a beautiful personality to boot. if she decides to further her career after the show, Hanis can go SO far as a tv host and presenter. can’t you just see her hosting the next One In A Million or Akademi Fantasia? :D
contrary to what some of her detractors (and there aren’t many) think about her complaining about the other girls too much, i believe it is important for people to have opinions and to be brave enough to speak up. and i also think even when she’s complaining about other girls, Hanis still manages to be sweet and likable! haha. a remarkable ability. Hanis is going to make waves in the coming years :)
2. JAY

ah, Jay :( i know a lot of people think that she should be in the Top 3, but unfortunately she didn’t make it. at the beginning, Jay was eclipsed by some of the more eye-catching girls like Eyna and Jean and the more controversial characters like Cindy and Nadia, but as the show went on it became obvious that Jay was a force to reckon with. she was hardworking, kind and had strong beautiful features that she knew how to use to her advantage. so many people support Jay and think that she’s the best of the Top 6, but this was a support that either didn’t translate to votes, or just wasn’t enough to top the votes of the final three girls. haih. i voted several times for Jay this week, too :(
but Jay’s picture is only just alright. when i was watching her pose in that episode, i thought that her final picture would turn out really good, but strangely enough this was the one they picked at the end. why! surely there were nicer pictures. her arm in the photo looks slightly disproportionate, and it would have made better composition if we could see her other arm behind her. her facial expression was very obviously mid-twirl because it’s neither here nor there. where the other girls’ pictures looked etheral, Jay’s didnt.
i really like Jay and wished she could have made it to the final 3, but i suppose that is not to be :( when the four of us went to visit the Dreamhouse that one time, she was so very kind and polite to us. i watched her at MIFA and i thought she looked absolutely fantastic on the runway. she totally owned it :) Jay if you are reading this, i hope you take all the opportunities that the show has given you and pursue your dreams to the very end. you belong in this industry.
3. ADELINE

Adeline sure surprised everyone last week! she really broke out of her shell and did such a fantastic job in the Escada commercial shoot. she was smiling throughout the shoot, and like i mentioned before, her smile truly is her best asset, second only to her huge eyes. she’s also visibly a lot more comfortable with the camera and is a lot more expressive than she used to be, and so her progress is quite obvious in that arena. but i still think she needs a lot more work when it comes to photos; the doped blur look she’s had from the start is STILL there :(
her Batik picture is definitely her best picture to date, though still far from great. Adeline really looks like a fairy in this picture and her skin looks sooooo good. but like Jay’s, this photo would look much better if we could see her other arm, as well as more of her dress. i think she mentioned in the previous episode that she was told to do certain poses, and this often resulted in her having bad angles.. well, if the Wella shoot was anything to go by, she should not do as they say, then!!
with some polishing and training, Adeline can do very well. Andrew of Andrew’s Models mentioned that she has the potential to pursue acting, and when he said that i was a little bit surprised, because acting requires the kind of expressiveness that Adeline doesn’t have cos she’s so blur all the time! but then i thought about it and recalled the Escada commercial where she totally kicked butt, and i realized that Adeline DOES indeed come to life when she’s acting. so, Chinese tv show producers out there, what are you waiting for! :) here’s your girl.
4. RINGO

her elimination was seriously the shock of the century. i think nobody expected it at all. i believe her downfall was her previous remark about how she didn’t know where her votes were coming from. a lot of her fans must have felt slighted and stopped voting :( haih to be honest, i actually think that comment was blown out of proportion. i suppose it was only humble to say ‘i’m really surprised that i’m still here’, and she also said twice that she was grateful and thankful for all her votes. why did everyone choose to disregard that.
and also, it is the truth wat that her mom is her only family. many weeks ago, Mr BBQ and i were talking about Ringo’s chances in the competition. i was of the opinion that if the votes were left untampered (which they can’t be, because they’re externally audited), Ringo was winning the competition for sure, because she has SO MANY fans. but then Mr BBQ pointed out that fans will only vote two or three times at the most, but it is family members who will vote for you a few hundred times in one go. doesn’t that have a lot of truth in it? my votes in this show never exceeded 5 for a single girl. but i know that if my sister (if i had one) or even my cousin joined, i would be voting for her rabidly and campaigning like crazy. so i’m sure that’s what Ringo meant when she said she doesnt enjoy the privilege of having a huge extended family like the other contestants. however, yes, she does have her fan base, which she should have acknowledged. but yknow, she did say she was grateful and thankful to whoever was voting for her :)
so to me, Ringo’s biggest downfall was not the comment she made, but that she’s too quiet and like Adeline, hasn’t made much progress since the start of the show. her photo in the Batik photoshoot is good - i actually really like her face in this photo because it connected so well with the camera. (yaya i know the look was supposed to be ‘blank’ and everything but i think that’s such a bad direction to give. ‘faraway’ look would have been better than ‘blank’) even though her face looked a bit small in the photo, it’s still gorgeous, and she definitely made good use of the features in her dress, like propping up one leg to show the layers and holding up the veil at the back. to Ringo, if you are reading this, it’s good to have you back blogging :) come out next week ok, Stewie buy us dinner!!!
5. CINDY

this picture of Cindy is pleasant and all, but a little bit lifeless. her face, hair, collar area and that arched foot looks goooood all put together though. the one thing i would do to improve this picture is to see some life or movement in it; maybe stretch out the right leg and arch her back.
is it just me or has Cindy suddenly become a lot more likable? i see that she’s dropped her accent for good and that makes me very happy, you kneow :D it was quite painful to watch everytime she put on that accent. she did a great job in the Escada shoot, but her catwalk is still quite bad. i dont know about the robotic part, but i do know that she walks way too fast for the runway. on another note, the model from Andrew’s Models who was with Elaine Daly in the latest episode, the one called Tini? she was at MIFA too, and oh my god her runway walk is FAWESOME. she has a superstyle stomp :D i couldnt help but gape.
Cindy is a very pretty girl and many think she’s hot, but with looks alone she cannot do much. so i think she needs a lot of honing before she can make it big as a model. i think she’s made a lot of improvement from the start though, which is good cos it shows she’s learning. i’m quite excited to watch her at the Malaysian Dreamgirl finale this Tuesday, just to see if she’s getting better on the runway :)
6. NADIA

no i dont like this picture. it’s mid-jump, the posture is bad and her facial expression is lost. her dress is magnificent but is not showcased properly in the photo. and you know what i think, i dont think it’s Nadia’s fault. she looked like she was doing a good job posing through the video, and i’m sure there were better pictures to pick from, but for some reason they chose this one.
even Ringo has commented that the photographer takes a few shots of her and calls it a wrap. i don’t understand why, when you can spend a few more minutes with each girl and try to draw a perfect picture out of them. a nice picture in the first frame doesn’t mean you can’t get the perfect shot in the 6th frame. yes, the model plays the biggest part in making a good photo, but so does the photographer i believe.
Nadia is capable of much more than this picture, and a lot of people know it. but one thing with her is that she can get too technical. during this shoot, she was actually counting the number of koi fish in her dress? i mean, why! the knowledge of the number of fishes in your dress won’t help your performance any. she reminds me of Allison in this season’s ANTM, the one who was overly calculated and over-thought all her poses. and she’s also got a bit of Melrose (season 7) in her ;) very cili padi. gorgeous girl too. my heart went out to her when she was eliminated this episode, because if there is anyone who REALLY wants to win this thing, it is Nadia. Nadia if you are reading this, don’t give up :) you heard Andrew… take your gorgeous self, go out there and kick butt!!!
———–
and so we have our Malaysian Dreamgirl Top 3 - Adeline, Cindy and Hanis - and they will be competing to the very end this Tuesday the 29th of April at the Finale show in 1 Utama. i am extremely excited and i hope this involves runway :) hopefully they bring back the other 8 girls for a HUGE Malaysian Dreamgirl runway show! see you all at the finale.
p/s : i’m in the midst of switching hosts right now, so some comments (and this post, occasionally) may get lost :(
April 23rd, 2008
one of those mornings again, where i haven’t slept all night cos i just can’t. i have to be out in 2 hours anyway for a breakfast meet, so i figure i may as well just stay up.
i’ve just been thinking so much. about things that shouldn’t be making me angry but are. about things that i should be doing but haven’t. like sending in my college decision, for instance. is it so hard to just send in a ‘yes, i will be attending your esteemed institution in the coming fall and i look forward to it’? it is. all these letters keep coming in the mail from the deans of the schools, the presidents of this and that association, alumni and current students. it’s very overwhelming. in three months i’m going to pack my bags and i will be gone. how did everyone else before me do it? with bravery. i always thought i was brave but apparently i am not. the thought of that escalator at KLIA is making my heart clench. after so many teary farewells of friends leaving to pursue their studies or careers all across the world.. it will finally be my turn. i slogged through the most horrid and excruciating college applications and exams to leave behind everything that i know and love? i did. 4 years is a damn long time and America is damn far away. i keep telling myself it will be worth it - that my family will still think of me, and that my friends won’t forget me, and that Martian will wait for me.
i watched The Black Dahlia on tv earlier with a pint of NZN Chocolate Ecstasy. it was a calming two hours that really gave me the peace of mind i needed. everyone else was sleeping. it’s the first night in a very, very long time that i’ve spent in my own living room, eating using a spoon from my home. i don’t spend enough time at home. even my last 3 months in the country are littered with travel plans. my dad and i are still not speaking from the argument we had a few days ago. Martian and i are still on the outs. i’m still bickering with my brothers. i still haven’t seen Jovann in a really long time, and only just got to meet up with Ivan yesterday. is this really how i want to spend my remaining minutes with my loved ones?
haih donno lah why am i so emo again. there’s always summer, right?
i am 19 going on 20. i am now at the age that once upon a time, i could only peer at from one end of a very very long telescope. when i was 13, i knew this guy who was 19 going on 20. we got along very well and i eventually developed feelings for him. i don’t know if he ever liked me back, but we spent hours and hours talking on the phone into the early hours of the morning, and we were always making plans to see each other. back then, i always wondered why someone so much older than me would want to spend so much time with a 13 year old. many nights i lay in bed trying to put myself in the mindframe of a a 19-year-old-going-on-20, trying to understand how someone of that age would think, how someone of that age would fall in love.
when i was 13 years old, 19 going on 20 felt so far away. a million light years. an entire secondary school experience between now and then. people of that age felt so adult and smart and mature. now i am here, at this age that i used to ponder so much about, but i don’t feel very adult, smart or mature. in fact, i feel so young and scared. i feel so much more immature compared to that guy i knew, who always seemed to know the right things to do at the right time. we met when i lost my mobile phone and he helped me look for it. would i now help a 13 year old kid who lost her mobile phone? would i want to be her friend?
so many things have happened since then, when waimin used to ice skate and i used to go to church. it makes my head spin just thinking about everything in between. 7 years of excruciatingly long wonderment. but you know, it feels like i slept through it all. one blink and i am here. i remember one particular night when i was 13 and i wished to be 19 going on 20 when i wake up in the morning.
well. here i finally am.
April 21st, 2008
i know i said a while ago i’d put up pictures of my trip to Ringha / Shangri La and also of the local food we had in Kunming, but i’ve decided not to. there is only a simple reason behind it, but i know that once i start ranting, i will probably say more than i should and the result will be an excessively long and largely irrelevant post about a topic that doesn’t deserve more than a few words. so… no :)
okay here’s just one food picture from Kunming:

this is a little shop in town that sells flour buns filled with different kinds of stuffing. everyone in the vicinity seemed to be eating one, and so i really wanted one too, but when we got to the shop we didn’t know how to read the chinese signs :( and the staff couldn’t speak english! the only board we (actually, Martian) could read was the one that says ‘peanut’, so that’s the one we got. and it was really good, too :D
now… can someone please read out the rest of the boards to me? pleeeeease! so i know what other types of buns i missed out on! yes lah i know i’m damn banana please dont laugh at me :(
and here’s ONE picture from Ringha.. because it’s too beautiful a place to not have any photos of it at all :

this is what we woke up to every morning in Ringha. they don’t call this place Shangri La for nothing.. :)
sigh. i really want to share the Ringha pictures. i spent so much time there trying to capture the perfect pictures, i can’t not put them up. haiyah whatever lah right? i don’t know why i’m being so angry also. wusaaaaaa. inner peace. righto. so here are some of my favourite pictures from Ringha :

#1 the river behind our hotel, taken on the first day when it hadn’t snowed yet

#2 sheep!! there are lots of mountain animals roaming around the area. there’s a particular abundance of yak, the butter from which is used for lots of things, including cooking, making candles and making.. tea. yeah. yak butter tea O_O

#3 snow at night :) this was right after dinner on our first night, and when the hotel staff told us it was snowing, we both ran squealing into the night. okay lah maybe just me :( all Martian did was laugh at me

#4 part of our really, really nice room. we stayed at the Banyan Tree :) our room is one of the most gorgeous rooms i’ve ever stayed in - it’s like a Tibetan-style mountain lodge!! all the rooms have 2 floors with 2 bedrooms, and the *entire* bottom floor is the bathroom and the changing room. the bathtub is especially cool - it’s right in the middle of the open bathroom floor, and is of the wooden Japanese tub kind. really nice to soak in amidst the freezing weather! the resort is very cozy and has lovely, authentic Tibetan decor - lacquered furniture, woven carpets, dark wood paneling and all. yes i’m trying very hard not to gush :| and you know what.. all the rooms in the resort actually used to be YAK STABLES where the farmer lived on the top floor, before the land was bought over and converted into a resort. such clever preservation.

#5 hot ginger tea: Ringha’s cure for anything at all. altitude sickness? have some ginger tea. fatigue? drink ginger tea. nausea? ginger tea. headache? ginger tea. foot pains? ginger tea. sexual disinterest? yup you guessed it, ginger tea. it’s actually very nice and tastes like tong yuen soup, but with more body to it. both Martian and i love this tea :) i really wish i’d asked them for the recipe; i don’t think it’s as simple as boiling ginger and brown sugar!

#6 Martian playing with the telescope that we never figured out how to use

#7 isn’t Ringha beautiful. sigh. i can only imagine how gorgeous it looks in the summer.

#8 hahaha a cute kid with rosy cheeks that i managed to coerce into giving me a picture when we visited town, which was a long bumpy car ride away from the hotel. check out his cell phone!

#9 me trying to taste snowflakes

#10 :)

#11 ya ya this is Martian trying to be funny… he didn’t realize that he kept stepping on all this horse and yak poo, which i had noticed and cleverly maneuvered away from. sigh baby, study and work so hard also no use if you donno how to avoid yak shit :\

#12 you see!!!!!!!! this is him desecrating perfectly pretty snow by wiping his poo-covered shoes on the snow :( beauty destroyer :(

#13 the resort’s lobby and Martian’s green umbrella

#14 and this is my favourite photo of all :D on the resort grounds, there is this looooong path of stones that leads to one of the resort’s buildings. we were snapping some photos on this path when i looked down and noticed one particular stone that said… banana cake. hahahaha i started laughing like crazy and i kept looking around the resort to find if there were anymore stones that had cake names on them, but no more :(
okay that’s it for pictures :) the Ringha and Kunming trip was one that i really enjoyed. but. oh well.
i’m now in Starbucks Mont Kiara studying with Eeyang again. again!!!!! he has realized that he cannot study with anyone other than me, you see. anyway it’s good to be back here in my SPM hangout. i remember how i used to come here all the time with Waimin during our SPM preparation period cos it was the only Starbucks that opened 24/7.
Mont Kiara.. such memories. missing scrunchies, space invasion, cookies and creme ice cream, The Shining, black see-through curtains, rarely-used kitchens, sharing stories, a thousand bucks left on top of the television… i only wish i could go back to that time. i’d have so much fun; in the midst of all my sulks, i’d have a secret smile.
