* sore cheek bones, painful abs, puffy eyes, and an aching heart to match *

You know the feeling u get when u had just about the best time in your life with some of your best friends and it's now over, and you're in your own home now, after all the goodbyes and hugs, promising each other we should do that again, but knowing in your heart that it'll be a while before that again comes? Don't you just take a moment to replay the moments of laughter (actually basically every moment was spent laughing) and end up smiling to yourself? I dunno bout you guys, but i'm in that exact same position right now. That, and also the extreme need to sleep, of course. =) Readers, this is gonna be long. But i'll spice it up with pictures...=)

Started with a certain email Gene sent that was soooo cute it made me jump to my feet (metaphorically) and start planning something! So ideas flowed, plans were made and voila! The rest of it will definitely be entombed in my memory bank for the rest of my life! Yes, this includes the hilarious chat sessions i had with Gene and Rosie! haha still makes me laugh at the thought of it. hahaha ok, here's how it went.

Gene invited Roshida and I to join her in KLCC for lunch. Was supposed to have Ramen but the place was jam packed so we went into this Lebonese place. Gene's whole family was there including a cousin. Ron, apparently was there but he left with his brother to visit someone in the hospital or something, so i didn't get to see him. Anyway, the food was scrumptious! Thanks again to Uncle for the treat! It was buffet, had lots of briyani rice, rendang, potatoes, lamb yadda yadda...mmm...mmm....=) I have Gene to thank for loads of stuff i got to try, stuff that, with my own family, would not eat in a million years!


We went to Isetan to look see, and picked up a teddy bear for Mrs Khaw. It was just a spontaneous thought that came to mind, in recognition for all the years we've been under her! Finally the last of the Mohicans (Lyn and I) are leaving the pack. After strolling around KLCC a little while longer, allowing the food to digest, we proceeded to Subang Parade. It was almost 5 so we thought we might go see someone and usher her out from work haha! Kinda like an en tourage. We were just in time, managed to catch her in her rotiboy uniform behind the cashier! haha Shirlyn looked so cute! =)


we sent her home (Gene was ze drebar) in a Harrier. Then everyone went home to pack and get ready for the big dinner. At 7.30 my dad fetched me and Mrs Khaw to Pyramid. All of us had dinner in Amata Vegetarian Restaurant, Gene's mother's restaurant. The food is delicious! Rosie got to eat char siew!! ahhaha it was darn good. And the best part was, it was on the house!! Thanks Aunty!!!! Mrs Khaw was all about jokes and ghost stories, and even palmistry! We found out she could read palms! Apparently Gene had a millionaire line, and Rosie's spendrift! Regina will marry late and Rosie early! It was so cool. I didn't let her read mine though. Not sure why. Just felt insecure about learning about my future, whether or not it may be accurate. Anyway, we brought out the present. I tell you, the surprised look on Mrs Khaw's face was priceless! ahahha Hey the bear was cute ok! and she loved it! we were obviously the noisiest table there and we only got up to leave when the restaurant was about to close. that was like almost 10pm hahaha but good time it was!!! definitely need to do that more often.


after that all went to Gene's house. Ate Haagen Daz wafer ice cream! haha seriously, i thought i was pampering myself the whole day..but u ain't seen pampering till u've tried the wafer ice cream! MmMmm....heard it's RM11 something for one. Quite mahal la...but once in a while lerrr.....Then at about 12, had to send Shirlyn balik...we begged and pleaded for her to stay but her mum insisted she went home coz the next day they were leaving for Penang at 5 am. so cannot lor...I was so sad ler. We only found out in the car that i won't see her till January 8th! The thought sunk in and lingered for a while when we sent her back. Then they decided to go somewhere and make noise. Ended up in Q Bar Pyramid, where i drank my first glass of Margarita. haha fine! I know I'm quite the ulu la...but i don't like alcohol ok! =) We joked and laugh somemore, along with a couple moments of serious talk about studies and boyfriends and such, until 2.30 am. Oh...during which we met Kat's friends and Ong Su Lynn and her friends. SU just had their senior prom.

Moving on, we went back home (gene's place that is). Talked and laugh some more. Swear, we laughed so much we had to take moments to catch our breaths. At about 3 plus we were all changing into our pj's and washing our faces and removing our contacts. All of a sudden, i felt hungry. And not surprisingly, so did everyone. Again we went out, went to Rafi ss15 to have some good ol' mamak food. we were actually all in our pj's! Here was the ultimate laughing session. Gawd knows what tickled us so much but we kept on laughing! The stupidest things on Earth could make us laugh. And it was like one laugh, all laugh! We couldn't help it! At one point there was this stupid Ah Pek from the adjacent mamak, who kept imitating us with a very loud, very rude, very sarcastic hahaha as though he was trying to compete. Well, we've got Rosie on our team! ahahah and what he did only made us laugh even more! There was once when he said "hahaha woh ying liao (i win already)" and we were like "Lamer!" ahah nola...but we were thinkin' it! then there was another table next to us with a guy that laughed just like me and Kat! hehe...

we stayed at Rafi's till about 5.40 am. We were waiting for Lyn to get up so we could say bye one more time! So we cruised to her house, made her come out and we snapped more pictures! Then there were group hugs and all. *sniff sniff* so saddddddd.......

after that balik Gene's house, thought of watchign Shrek 2 summore. But as we waited for each of us to brush our teeth and all, i guess one by one fell asleep. by then it was already 7 am plus. Our brains were already half dead. hehe...=)

I woke up at about 8 am. Don't know why. Dozed off and woke up again after that a few times. Finally got out of bed at 12 pm. And that was it. The end of an amazing, wacky sleepover. went home and found myself here. feeling a little emo-ish now. But i think the sleepiness is starting to take over. hehe...=)
