Greenheights Mall

27/11/2009. We had our dinner earlier at C121, my second time there, but this time was actually eating at the restaurant next to C121..lols...sorry no pics of the place, i didnt take any, but i can assure u the food there is ichiban!! xD

After dinner we decided to go eat icecream at Desserts, Greenheights Mall. It was thoughtful on Sharon's part, cos i haven't really explored that area and i hadn't have Desserts Icecream there, plus Cold Storage, which i hadn't stepped in before. I'm sure she was craving icecream that time too...nyahaha~~

Anyway since its the month of Christmas soon, the place had started to see some Christmas decoration already...

###

1st Floor

We couldn't stop eyeing this deco. Haha. It's very nice..though it reminds me of Twitter. xD

***

Then we went downstairs for our "main course", Desserts ice cream...HAHA. Sharon had mango, Peter had green tea and i forgot mine X.x but i remembered mine had nuts in it and it tastes good. =P

I took alot of shots with this angle. I find that i tend to take multiple shots of the same angle and that i don't vary much. Hmmm i really must improve in this.

This angle though, is suggested by Sharon. Though i kinda doubt i captured her vision, but oh wells. She really opened my eyes...Sharon trust me u really have it in u...xD

***

So we went out..and there's this big Christmas tree decoration outside. It looks interesting...because it was made with empty bottles of Tsingtao Beer!

Creative, ehh?? I thought it was pretty cool! =D

###

As u can see...i didnt take so many pics...i wasn't in a really happy shutter-mood that night. So yeah...xD

KBOX @ Embassy

Remember in one of my earlier posts i mentioned i went to KBox? Well here i am blogging abt it...

It was the last day of lessons...we had all finished our MOI presentations..as a way to celebrate this tiny spot of freedom, the guys went to watch a movie 'Planet 51' while i continued my second presentation (M'sian Studies later that night)...after that i joined them for a karaoke session at Embassy KBox at Spring's top floor...

Our food for the night. Odd number of ppl so we couldn't get one of the better packages with better food. HAIZ.

Jacky & Ah Lam at the start of the K session....

Ah Lam & Bryan

The three guys.....

Bryan

This was taken by Peter...i personally like this shot ALOT. Thanks man! =)

Bryan & Peter

I switched off the flash LOL.

Me

I hadn't slept for more than a day prior to this. I was veryyy tired but managed to sing a few songs. Was the only girl cos the other two gals went back liaoooo........

In the end, i sang out my heart and felt alooot better....since that time i was going through sumthing....new. All this happened on 19/11/2009, was my second time to KBox...xD

Pullman Hotel, Kuching

There's a new hotel in town! Pullman Hotel is the latest addition to the Kuching hotel scene, having its soft opening on 17th November....and 5 days later i went there for the first time with Sharon & Peter~~

I took sum pics there...then i realised i didnt take any pics from outside the building..i mean the whole building itself. =.="""""""""""""""""

These are what u'll see once u step inside Pullman...all these are in the lobby area...there's a bar towards the right...it's called Deja Vu...

Acks....not a good angle  =/

Another view of Deja Vu from the staircase.

We went upstairs and went to the outdoor...and there's a pool! Pool height is 1.3m...i won't drown, fortunately. xD

Its very comfy sitting there...this sofas are just in front of the pool....

A shot of the rooms....

There's a jacuzzi!! =D

I like this bar...right next to the jacuzzi...and here's a shot of the glasses behind the counter. This idea came from Sharon.....

Went back inside. Here's some of the rooms...dinners and functions can be held inside. And mind you, its HUGE. =D

I like this...its like a mini-model set if u look at it from here. A bird's eye view of the lounge outside Deja Vu.

View of the lobby from upstairs.

An Oriental-themed restaurant at ground floor...kinda nice. I just think of Chinese wedding dinners when i see this.

If u enter Pullman and keep walking straight u'll arrive at this lounge area. Very comfortable sofas...

A yet-to-be-officially-opened bakery, i think...

The people who made this outing possible:

Sharon

She was SO KEEN to sit on this dog(?) chair.....xD

Peter

Thanks for the transport! xD

Me

With weird hair.  =S

After that we had to pick up a VVVVVVVVIP....LOLS....we went to Secret Recipe after we picked this VVVVVVVVIP....xD


Our food

NO she's not crying. xD

AHEM. VVVVVVVVIP Crystal has new haircut.....xD

When we finished...we went back home lo~~~ xD  This was 22/11/09....

Swinburne Dance Party

Ok this happened long time ago, on 23rd October 2009, but i was too busy to blog abt it...lolss...but anyway, here it is!

Actually originally didn't plan to go to the party...but Sharon wanted to go, and me & Greg were in campus(doing work, no less), while Jacky had just finished his Japanese class. Since we all no mood do assignment that night, we decided last minute to join the event...

###

Here are some pics i took....camera battery ran low halfway thru, so i didn't take much pics...sorry...

After u purchased the ticket u are given a chop on ur arm, and this is a shot of mine...it says 'Super'! xD

*Note : I misplaced my ticket...when i find it i'll post up a pic of the ticket yea...paiseh... =.=""

The party is held inside the MPH (Multi-Purpose Hall) in campus! The number of ppl who turned up was more than i expected, really....xD

The stage. A DJ spins music at the back there while performances will be held on stage...DUH. =.=""

The host for the night, Wilson. He's a member of Swinburne Dance Club.

The DJ....later another DJ rocked the house...but i didnt get a shot of him..lols...

***

Let the performances begin!!

The theme of the night is 70's, 80's, 90's and the current decade~  I remember they started with MJ's "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough", which i think, is a perfect dance track to start off the night....

Salsa dance....everyone was watching~~ xD  It was a very sensual dance type, i must say. xD

I really like this dance concept. The lights are cool! My friend Joak came up with it, according to Sharon. Very cool yea? xD

Overall, i had a FUN night. And i saw Greg bust some moves of his own. I was amazed. Never knew he could pull those tricks! =D

Finish....

I can finally say i've done *everything* for this semester. Finished up all my assignments, and finally had my final test today. The feeling of finishing everything....is SO GOOD.  =D

I had also settled my accomodation in Kuching...at least for the moment. I'll be staying here till CNY next year...in the meantime i'll work, i think. And for next semester i'm most probably gonna continue staying in hostel...had a talk with my mum today and settled it with the warden after my final test today..so all feels good =)

*

So what have i been doing recently? Ever since i passed up my last assignment, i had been living like a lazy pig. Online all day and did nothing else. Oohh ya went out sometimes with friends too; we went to movies and ate out and basically just hung out. It was pretty cool; they made me feel less bored....

~<\\//>~

Sigh. 'New Moon' finally caught up with me. =.=" My brother had this craze for the books last time, and he still is a fan of the books. Me, however, couldn't understand the hoopla, and only read 24 pages of 'Twilight', the first book. 'Twilight' the movie wasn't really exciting; i gave it a measly 5/10, but things looked good when i saw the trailer for New Moon. And at last, we went to catch it on Monday...

All in all, i felt it was a really good movie. Compared to the first one, this had more pacing, more action and relatively easy on the eyes. Come on we have the hot body of Taylor Lautner. Wuahhaa. Movie ended in the way these kind of love stories go, and i felt this film was done well. A solid 8.5/10.

However, that said, it was a pain to watch too. Jacob Black, the werewolf who's in love with Bella the main girl, reminds me so much of someone i know. It's like it was portraying the same things that she went through. The feelings. What Jacob was to Bella. The fierce protectiveness Jacob has for Bella. I came off the movie feeling very sad...and i had never identified with a movie/book character so strongly before.

My friend was nuts over Jacob Black. I think i will too...after seeing what i saw. Joey, its time to lend me your Twilight books again....i wanna find out what happens to Jacob Black~~  xD

###

Other than 'New Moon', i also went and watched 'Ninja Assassin' with my friend...it was a last minute thing; he was going to leave soon, as do another friend of ours, so this is like a final get-together. This friend...i had no idea he still likes to see me, and is very generous to have me being there. After what happened. After we sort of drifted apart. It's nice 'reconciling' again...it was fun.

Anyway, let's talk about the movie. Rain the Korean superstar is the lead in this film, and i must say, his English improved a lot and he HAS an incredible body. x) Going into the film i heard many people saying it's not nice, but i read reviews were favourable, and i couldn't agree more. I liked the film. Action scenes are well-shot, there is good balance in portraying the history of the lead character Raizo(played by Rain) and generally the acting is okay. If u don't mind blood(there's PLENTY of them...my god...i wonder how many buckets it would have filled if it was real  xD) and gore(injuries and death, people...nothing big. It's just the WAY they die xD) generally this is a cool 'dude' movie to watch. Satisfied my action-flicks taste. 7.5/10.

*

Besides that...i also tasted racing for the first time. Well i didn't race, i just sat in the car. But the feeling of speed and rush to the front...i love it. It woke up my dormant feel for racing....now i wish i have a car so i could race...but then...kinda risky ain't it? xD  But suffice to say, i had always been a racing/car enthusiast since young. The best game genre i play is racing. I was influenced by my dad's love of cars. Guys find it uneasy that i like cars. Gals thought me odd for not liking Barbie dolls.  ;)

But again...it's dangerous ohh...drive safe everyone! xD

*

Lastly is food....haha...they brought me to a new place i hadn't been before: C121 in Tabuan (something...i forgot LOL). That area had good food, i must say! I tried the Kueh Chap and Pork Leg Rice there....both are awesome. Hope to find out more good food in Kuching!

Ohh ya....Sharon ah....Peter ahh...where is my DURIAN ahhhh??? And ABC....when we wanna go eat?? xD

~<\\//>~

Ya....tomorrow me and a few friends are gonna go to Permai Beach to BBQ!  It's my first time going on such a trip, and my first time BBQ-ing....yes...i never BBQ-ed before...LOLS...sakai wei...haha....gonna stay overnight in Damai...am very looking forward to this...hehehe...

Ok...peace out ppl...enjoy ur holidays!! =)
