how peculiar.
was on an unexpected trip to the night safari and mustafa last night.
night safari was dressed up in halloween theme. wasn't scary but appreciate their effort to make the place spooky. even the tour guide in the tram tried his best to introduce the night safari with halloween-tailored details. they have to consider the kids, so it wasn't too bad.
have always thought night safari wouldn't be too crowded but i was wrong.. was packed and bustling with people (and ghosts).
was also my first trip to mustafa, and they incredibly stocked up everything under one roof. you name it, they have most of it. no wonder it's always jam-packed.
felt like a tourist. am i really a local? lol.

Dear Junie,
Sorry, this year's been late in my entry. Three years flew in a flash and many of us have long embarked their new lives in the working world.
Haven't met up for quite a while, I too, wonder how's life been for them.
As for me, I've been busy at work, fending malicious lies and rumours, steering clear of politics. It never fail to amuse me how some adults behave worse than kids, really.
Will keep this short, don't want to harp on history anymore..
Take care my friend.
Love,
Shu Juan

oops.
major MIA for a good two to three months! been hell busy with several transitional phases of work.
finally decides to leave workplace more promptly (by saying that, leaving by 7pm is considered god-send), to breathe and have more me-time.
oh yes, just received an sms from a secondary school mate about her wedding this october.
wedding?! no, you didn't hear me wrong.
realises "wedding" is becoming an increasingly common topic among my kakis. we've reached this stage already! omg.
sudden itch to fly a kite. just struck me that i've only made kites (during those art classes, very juvenile looking ones la of course.), but never fly them!
time to start building up on my tamiya model too..
ok getting random. night and till then!

Been neglecting..
"Huh?! You're not working there already??"
"OMG, you mean they're together already?"
"Har, you've submitted your FYP? You haven't got my survey answers yet!"
....
And all my friends will then unanimously say, "Ya la! You so busy..."
Then I realise most of the time I'm cooped with 15739768 stuff to do at work, neglecting quality friends and me-time.
Apologies for my super-lagged replies, apologies for my MIA. Been a little out-of-reach but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about you! Give me some time to get my work on track, and we'll meet to play yeah? :)
Especially to this bunch of travel/nonsense/food/ktv mates -
And my awesome uni kakis -
Meet up soon! Really :)

最长的电影 (Jay Chou)
我们的开始 是很长的电影
放映了三年 我票都还留着
冰上的芭蕾 脑海中还在旋转
望着你 慢慢忘记你
朦胧的时间 我们溜了多远
冰刀画的圈 圈起了谁改变
如果再重来会不会稍显狼狈
爱是不是 不开口才珍贵
再给我两分钟 让我把记忆结成冰
别融化了眼泪 你妆都花了 要我怎么记得
记得你要我忘了吧 记得你叫我忘了吧
你说你会哭 不是因为在乎
朦胧的时间 我们溜了多远
冰刀画的圈 圈起了谁改变
如果再重来会不会稍显狼狈
爱是不是 不开口才珍贵

a piece of chess.
feeling really rotten when im pushed to shoulder all the damn responsibilities when i had, in the first place, did my share of work and gave ample reminders. now that something happened, all you thought off was to push it all to me.
comes Monday and i really have no idea if i can control and minimise the damages.
argh. damn it. this blemish is making me really upset.
i guess no amount of mahjong/ shopping time could make me less sad at least for the weekend :(

If "love" could be placed into an equation...
... Probably not since "love" is a complex construct, as explained by Prof Yukawa in Suspect X.
Went to catch the movie with great anticipation. But sadly, plot did not utilise as much science/math as I've expected. Not as thrilling as L pitting against Yagami Light in Death Note. :(
Plot revolves around just a single story and the suspect is already made known from the start.. So not too much stuff for audience to speculate. Or it was pretty obvious. :(
The thriller took a more romantic angle to soften the mood. A nice tweak to see how a genius succumb to love, protect and make unconditional sacrifices for the one he loves.
Considering the fact that I was charmed by Yukawa's intelligence and looks.. this movie is a pretty good watch. Awwww. :D

S310 goes overseas!
...
Well, across the Straits of Johor also "overseas" I suppose, no? :) Anyway, S310 finally spends with a different currency (the previous trip we went to was Bintan, and we spent in SGD.. -_-)!
Talks of the trip started probably during the Bintan trip itself. With our almighty procrastination and relentless coordination by JT, we finally set off in December 08 (Yes, I know this is long overdue...)!
In the coach, King getting his royal sleep while the girls ever-ready for a snapshot.
Sharing the bed with Rainbow
Our big and comfortable service apartment
Out to play!
One of our many train rides
Waiting for the mono-rail
View from the mono-rail: Look Ma, no railings!
It's super creepy taking the mono-rail. It speeds like hell and I always have a bad omen of it toppling to one end. And all of us gonna fall to our deaths *choy* There's no way to study/read in the monorail. For once, I thought our local MRT is such a great blessing, comfortable and has an extensive network.
Monorail and SALE!
Welcome to Bukit Bintang - aka KL's Orchard Road
Welcome to the hustle and bustle of city life - Noise, pollution and loud billboards.
Pavilion - aka KL's Paragon. I love their huge Forever 21 boutique!
... Too busy to take pics while shopping! Heh.
A feat to comb every level..
Settled down in a HK restaurant for a light dinner of congee.
View of KLCC from our service apartment
Day 2 - We went Mid-Valley! Gah, more train rides!
Poh getting a lil' grumpy of the incessant rain and 1004824 train rides. I like this pic!
Despite the long rides, we love to self-entertain by taking loads of pics! :)
Finally, Mid Valley.. We trudged on into the mall with our awfully tired feet. Time for pedicure~
Not as fantastic as I thought it should be (looking at the posh exterior of the salon). But well, we're glad.
Caught sight of this locally long-gone fad catching up in KL -
An intriguing sight, I can't help to think - Oh man! Whose legs did the fishes feed on before his turn?!
Our loots
Hmm, how should we display them?
Tadah!
Shopaholics
My share~
If you've realised the left hand side of the table is pretty empty, thanks to JT who bought only a bottle of shoe white! *Faint*
Day 3 - Mad rush around KLCC
Can't emphasis enough how "rush" everything went. Made it to board the coach in time anyhow :)
Home with loads of loot.
Watched Transformers during the coach ride! Can't wait for Part II... Woots!
Yay, finally I'm done with this backlog! :)

Then I realised...
... the pursuit of beauty isn't as easy as I thought it'd be. And "beauty" does not necessarily equates to the outer aesthetics; Rather, the art of remaining inert with this ugly vying society.
...
On a side note, I came across this mag and there was a section on palmistry. Alas, I'm proven to be right when I say I'm commitment-phobic. I really am.
On a side side note, I want to watch Suspect X! I haven't catch a movie for eons! Finally time for a (short) breather~

Wish I was here...
Awesome performance! I'm totally captivated and awestruck - Attracted by their charisma on stage; In-awe of their prowess that no other band can second them. Really.
"I could not look back
you'd gone away from me
I felt my heart ache
I was afraid of following you
When I had looked at the shadows on the wall
I started running into the night to find the truth in me..."

*We are X!*

The man wants the cake, and eat it too.
I was cabbing from Orchard Road last night. On the way home, the taxi driver became.. well, quite emo and started to pour woes to me (I suppose I looked approachable?).
He started by asking if I've ever encounter a similar situation whereby I'm in love, with two.
As the "pouring woes" session continued, the whole scenario got clearer, becoming a very typical Taiwan melo-drama material -
He is 42, married with two kids (around 12 years old). Currently sleeping in separate rooms from his wife AND having a not-really "underground" affair with another woman, who incidentally was his ex-girlfriend 10 years ago.
He told me there's no sparks between him and his wife anymore. What's left is only to shoulder responsibility for his two kids. By a twist of fate, he met his ex-girlfriend (who's divorced) and that rekindled the passion the two of them once shared.
He asked if I were him, what'd I do?
I told him outrightly that I'd go with my feelings - If there's no love anymore, I really see no point clinging onto a broken relationship. What's the point of making everyone miserable? Why not start afresh for everyone?
He hemmed and hawed, probably in disbelief that I could answer him so outright without a waver in thought.
"How about the children? They are still young.."
"But a clean break can end everyone's misery. Why not? You can't have the best of both worlds, sacrifice is inevitable.."
Then he went into the main point, "But if I divorce with my wife, I'll lose everything. My properties, money... You know between love and bread, bread is also very important.."
"...."
In the end he's just a self-centred jerk who wants the best of both worlds. My heart goes out to his wife really. To marry a man for more than 12 years, bearing him two kids, and then to realise he doesn't love you for all you've done, for HIM.
I'm amazed how he was able to say all these without a tinge of guilt towards his wife. All he knew was his ex.. well, current girlfriend is suffering too.
Argh, what is freaking wrong with him?!
As I was about to alight from the cab, he told me he has asked alot of youngsters (20-30s) about their opinions and their answers are similar. Precisely! End off this relationship and free your wife!
Guess what, he said the differing views are attributed by generation gap. The youngsters are not so "home-oriented".. Unlike him.
...
1001 excuses to cover for his selfishness.
Are all men like him??
Omg, I'm seriously losing faith with love.. And my future judgment.
