Today, the seremban gang (yeah~ me, turtle and zhenyi) pulled ourselves up around eight in the morning to wash up and get ready for our journey. The journey to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, KLIA in short. Introducing our driver, *drum-roll* miss turtle aw!!
Senior co-driver and advisor, me!!
And on-board sound effects engineer cum entertainer, zhenyi!!
Hahas =D Oh, this was supposed to be a surprise-send-off. So, we were discussing about back-up plans. What if yorshee’s car is behind us? How do we react? Smart turtle suggested we duck. …. *roll eyes* Yeah, and we crash?!? Another “smart” answer from our “smart” turtle. What if yorshee’s enter the transit before we reach? Etc etc…
We headed for Jusco to search for a lovely pair of gloves for yorshee and decided to head for somewhere else for breakfast later. At first, we thought it’s gonna be a quick shopping, but the search for that LOVELY pair was a tedious one, so it took longer than we expected. Nevertheless, we manage to grab hold of one in less than half an hour. Are we just efficient or what?! ;) It was almost 10.40am and so we realised there was not enough time left for our breakfast plan. Zhenyi and turtle got tempted to the fresh sushi made in the morning and bought them as breakfast while I got this craving for waffles and bought a nice, sweet chocolate waffle =) Zhen got the best of both worlds as he got himself a peanut butter one too. And so, we picnicked throughout the whole journey to KLIA… whee!!!
11.40am, we arrived safely at the airport.
We, the trio, alighted the vehicle and decided to give yorshee a surprise. Heh heh~
SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! Can’t believe we’re here right? Touched, but too delighted to cry. That was what yorshee said… This is that look she claimed. Touched + Happy gives you this.
We sat down at Macs for another round of breakfast. More like we were just renting a space for us to sit and talk and…and… Photo-shoot!!! =) This time, was really our very very last time doing this with yorshee.
We gave her this pair of gloves we made. Convince her that this was our gift for her to use in Auckland. It’s really useful. Your hands really sweat the moment you put them on. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
We’re glad you liked them =) hahas~
12.30pm. Time for yorshee to leave. Our official last photo together.
And so, we handed her that lovely pair of gloves we got. It’s a waste that we did not manage to capture a photo of it. Promise us you’ll wear it when you feel cold ya. Touched and sad to leave this time.
We were also sad to see you leave, but I also feel happy for her that she is on her way to live her dream. All the best, all the best, all the best… We exchanged words of encouragement and bid farewells.
And later, to cheer up our mood, the entertainer played his role really well. Led us into doing crazy stuffs at the airport. And so we posed and advertised for KLIA’s 10th anniversary.
And a funniest home video (or airport video, rather..hehs)
Moral of clip, turtle is corrosive!!! BEWARE! Don’t touch her. =D
There will be a time, sometime later for me to embark on this same journey as well. It’s just a matter of time. Where will I be heading? What kinda life will I have? Who are the people that I will be meeting and hanging out with?
No matter what, that’s the way it is.
Cat, yokechen, yorshee and to all of us that will be leaving each other soon, we’ll meet each other again in a year, see you then.
"Departure gives us a chance to meet again." Thanks a lot for sharing this phrase on my blog, dearest cat. Huggss. I miss you loads.

Part 1
Yesterday, the remaining of the seremban gang – me, zhenyi and turtle went over to yorshees for a last round of chatting and crapping. Yes, we never ran out of topics to talk about whenever we meet up. Really amazing. But eventually, we just gotta have a finale for everything. So, we tried to make yorshee thinks that this will be our last meet up before her departure. Hmm~ wanted to see some tears but she was too concern about rehearsing for the departure the next day. Yeah, I know, of course you’re busy. Got REHEARSALS!!! 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time some more. *hats down* Whoa~ first time I heard someone gotta rehearse for departure leh. Cool!! Hahas~ Practise cat-walking out of the room (isn’t that cat’s job? hahs), getting the luggage, walking down the stairs etc, with those sad music playing in the background oh, and even putting on a jacket as well.
What a grand farewell ceremony.
However, we’re still lucky enough to savour a last round of pastries made by Yorshee Confectionaries. All because we were kinda hungry then. Hahas =) Turtle had a hard time convincing herself to eat them as all she thought about are fats fats and fats.
Oh wells, in the end, she gave in to temptation. Hahaha =D
Oh, and there was this letter. From your "sexy" handwriting, I know you wrote it in the speed of light. Haha. Thanks a lot, yorshee, for taking out some time of your busy schedule, writing down your thoughts and the memories. Hugs hugs hugs.
And then, what else? Of course, we did not miss a last round of our tradition with yorshee as well. Our never-to-be-missed-photo-taking session.
Too many. Can't possibly put all of them. Hehs ;) Crazy us, for the one last time with yorshee. And we did a great job bouncing up and down her bed.
Then, it was time for us to leave. It was not easy to leave. We hugged and kept saying goodbyes, all the best, good luck all over and over again. For a few minutes, I believe. Trying to hold back our feelings due to the reluctance to leave, I guess it was our best option to just stand there and stare at each other’s faces. It was getting late. We soon realised. And finally, as I ignited the car engine, I just suddenly realise that this will be the last time stopping by at her house, to get stuffs, fetching her out and back home, dropping by whenever I’m bored… You won’t be hearing this familiar sound for a long time, yorshee. I told myself, as I reversed and drove away from that familiar silhouette.

I guess that feeling is finally setting in, in a greater impact, this time. The feeling of seeing people leaving.
Farewells, farewells and more farewells.
First, it was the departure of yoke chen.
I hope she’s doing very well after a week or so in Taiwan. All the best to her in being that Malay professor which you mentioned the other day ;) Oh, the bear~
Treat it with kindness ya. Make sure it’ll come back in a piece wor. Hahs.
Next was cat. We had this last night hanging out with her. I know I know, wasn’t a great grand surprise because it wasn’t planned by the best planner – jiayi-the-great, right? But that’s the best we can come out with.
turtle's hiding again, as usual.
Yeah. I really miss you loads already, buddy. =\ Nevertheless, all the best.
Coming up next, is yorshee.
tsk, turtle, WHERE ARE YOU again? so fun to hide meh?!!
Flight on Friday afternoon. Just hours from now. 50 hours maybe?
When I look back at those pictures, it’s pretty sad to know that we’ll be separated by a It’ll be very short for people with things to do such as studying. But, for a guy like me which is still doing nothing, I guess it’s harder to get time to pass. Should I get a job? Yes, I know I should.
What job? Where?
Just two simple questions, but they can make my mind grow tremendously big when I think about it.
Gah~ never mind about that. Conclusion, I miss you...

Me, yorshee, zhenyi and turtle decided to head back to school yesterday morning. I guess this will be our very last chance of returning back as ultra-great-grand seniors, as we’ll be leaving home and go away for our studies.
We met up for breakfast at the school’s canteen. Many of the caterers have changed. Different form the ones we had at the good ol’ days. I ordered a bowl of wanton mee. The stallholder was a different auntie. And that mee tasted different from the one I had 5 yrs ago. It was tastier then.
And so, we headed for the staffroom. But on our way there, yorshee and turtle were lectured for a LOOOOONG ten to fifteen minutes or so.
See la~ your dressing, too exposed and inappropriate. Tsk tsk tsk… Hahas =D
In the staff room, we met up with zhen’s favourite teacher – MISS JULIE!! Finally she had the chance to meet him. Then, later we bumped into our form teacher for J1X. She still recognized me after seven years. =)) She said I didn’t change too much, but Mohd Shah said I was totally different. Yeah cikgu Mohd Shah, you promised us a drink / high-tea. When? When? When? The teachers were very proud of us. “So, you guys still keep in touch, after soooo many years” They all said that. Yes, how can we not? It just got so much better this holiday, like yorshee said. Really amazing right? I couldn’t agree more.
Next, after so much HARD work, we finally succeeded in “breaking into” The Place. Where else? Yes. The X-rated place.
First time you’re so smart leh, turtle!! Many thanks to turtle for breaking into it for us. Claps claps! Don’t say we never give you chance to prove yourself. Hehes.. =P
The break in. Surprised to see how it has evolved.
J1X, J2X and J3X. A place filled with great great memories. Too many, too much of them. It’s overflowing in my mind. Dug out many of them during the times we spent together this long hols. Stuffs like how we hit each other, chase around, joke at each other etc. And how a murder almost took place. Haih~ cat, cat, cat… Still dare to act innocent wor… hahas =P Oh, turtle remembered this time when we hid in that secret chamber (chamber of secrets) for one whole lesson.
The secret chamber at the back of the classroom.
It was Julie’s lesson, she reckoned. Teach me to be naughty. Tsk tsk~ Hahas. And MORE! So many wonderful memories.
CheerS, X-ers!!
Take a moment to think about the memories we had. Do you remember? Do you remember them?

ANOTHER birthday surprise!!!
So, I went directly to sleep after typing the previous post. Of course I was tired. Went to bed at 3.30am but I think I rolled on the bed till around four. Maybe I was still feeling happy after what had happened earlier. Yeah, so it wasn’t really a spoilt surprise after all, buddies ;) As it had some impact on me.
I woke up a while later when mum came into my room, tidying the mess which my brothers did. I couldn’t be bothered to pull myself up at around SEVEN in the morning. I did some calculations. THREE HOURS OF SLEEP ONLY!!! I would be crazy to pull myself up at that moment. So, I went back to sleep. About an hour later, I was disturbed, AGAIN. What now!?! I sense this cold feeling on my cheek. Gah~ I couldn’t be bothered again and continue putting myself to sleep.
SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!! I slowly opened my sleepy eyes when I heard those familiar noises. There stood cat, yorshee, turtle, zhenyi and longkang, right in my room. I smiled. Yes, I was definitely shocked to see you guys right at my house, in my room at this moment. 8.30am. But I was too happy and sleepy to express them on my face. Hahas. I know I looked a little woody then. Still couldn’t believe you guys attacked me when I was lying totally defenseless on the bed. Yet, it was really a great surprise for me.
Alright, so I was pulled out from bed to go downstairs. And I was greeted by six plates of this “thing”.
Breakfast? Oh my, I really couldn’t believe it too. You all came all the way to my house to cook me breakfast. And you did it again. Cooperated with my parents behind my back to set me up for another surprise. Now I understand why there’s this pleasant but tired looking look on your faces. Oh my, oh my, oh my, waking up at SIX to buy stuffs and drive down to do all the preparation and cooking. How did you guys manage to do that!!! Thank you so so so much. It was really sweet. You guys rock!!! And I love you loads.
And, you made a video. With this on the CD cover.
Directed by Yorsh Music Director : Cat Lim Executive Producer: Zhen Yi Casting: Learn Khang Editing: Old Chan Spiritual Guidance: Yoke Chen A Turtle Aw Film.
Hee =) Here’s a short clip.
The remaining 80% of it shall remain confidential ;)
We went to catch VANTAGE POINT later in the day. Because, everyone went back to catch a sleep, as some of us didn’t even sleep or just slept for an hour or so. Hahas… I know, my fault. But thanks for really doing it for me. Was a cool movie!
After that I rushed over for some time with my dearest mum, dad and brothers. I was late by half an hour, as I was driving around town, dropping off friends back home as usual. Sorry mum =P But you were brilliant by ordering the food first. I felt like a VIP as the food was served just seconds after we informed the waitress about my arrival. Hahas.
And here’s what mum and dad got me. =))
Make a wish, make a wish =)
Well, it’s enough. As I know you have been showering me with much love and things that I need, So, It’s okay, I don’t need a gift from you ;) I know I’ve been getting gifts for myself so frequently… hehs.
Goodbye February the Twenty first! I’ll see ya next year.

February the Twenty-first. Yup, it finally arrived.
A few hours before today, I went to city park with my dearest friends. It was really a BLAST!! Yeah, A BLAST!!
Yup, a grand 5-mintues-long-fireworks to usher in my birthday. Many thanks to the main sponsor, RB Land =D and also the great company from the bestest friends. What more can I ask for? And as usual, we went on with our favourite past time. Camwhoring and posing like nobody’s business. Crazy poses, funny poses, 18SX poses…… You mention it, we got it. The girls, so into getting that next top model contract. Couldn’t stop learning how to get that “two-teeth smile”. No worries. I’m very sure you’re gonna get it perfectly well like real SOON by practicing it whenever we’re together.
Following that was the little surprise for me. Learn khang sacrificed by locking himself in that awfully smelly toilet to call the girls. I really didn’t know about that as I couldn’t wait to get my nose out of that place. All I know was that we, the three musketeers, walked a big round around city park to get to my car. And when I was approaching the place where I parked my car, I see people squatting behind it. “Huh, did someone accidentally bang or scratched my car” I wonder. “It’s a good thing that at least they stayed back to wait for me to arrive”, I thought. Before my mind process any further thoughts, the people went crawling under my car. Hahass.. Surprise surprise. So, it was the girls with my birthday cake.
An injured cake. Haha… it doesn’t matter. It’s really SWEEEEEEET to know that you girls came running all the way to my car to give me that surprise. I really gotta praise you for your effort in LOCATING it in the first place and running towards it. But you found it!!!!! In the midst of SOOOOOOOOOOO many cars. I know you guys put in much effort in planning it for me. Just that it came 10 seconds earlier. Hehes~ I just simply love you guys. muacks. *hugss*
