Second last day of 2012 and I literally slept the whole day away. Earlier my friend texted me whether I want to join them on countdown to 2013 tomorrow night, and I mentally facepalmed when I found out I was gonna be stuck with two pairs of couple for tomorrow night to usher in the new year. Where are the fun people? What else can I do?
Inevitably, that pang of loneliness is back again. And I missed my friends company. Those who are open to celebrating openly. And that made me think back to the very start of this year when we celebrated New Year's.
Well, I did separate from them during the enter into 2012 but we still were around each other. This time, going into 2013, it will be my second year celebrating New Year's in KL, with different companionship.
Let's talk abt today. I came out of The Hobbit last night around 11.45pm and got back to my place thereafter and had supper with my friend and her bf. Got to watch the last 10mins of Man Utd vs West Brom match too. Man Utd won with Van Persie scoring a very nice 2nd goal for United.
We actually chatted again on FB after getting home respectively and I went to slp after 4am. Woke up at 10am pondering whether to catch the 12pm showing of "Perks of Being a Wallflower", a movie I really liked alot.
However, laziness and moreover fatigue, took over me and I stayed home all day. Online for a while, ate some biscuits, then fell back into a nap which took me into the evening. I still feel slight fatigue but more clear in my mind. Went out tapao dinner, got caught in the rain and guess what? I think I'm catching a flu.
Now, as I sit here typing this, my friend hadn't replied me abt tmr after I asked if it's okay with them I will be drinking. No smooches going into the New Year with a lover but hey, at least I get my alcohol fix? That's so cliched, but I'm still young and rebellious so I get what I want. I wonder if my friend's pissed at my speed of replying texts.
Anyway, I think there're a few things left that I hadn't really recapped.... should I go on cos I know I won't have time tomorrow, that's for sure :)

April Highlights: I-City, Shah Alam
After the Banting trip, it seemed too early to go home, and we spontaneously decided to go to I-City to finish our night. Well, those sitting in the same car anyway.
By the time we got to the place, the sun was already setting. We made our way to the Ferris Wheel, buying tickets to go on it later. Then we walked around the park waiting for night to fall, because that's when its best offering comes up: the night lights!
The night is upon us and everywhere the lights make things much brighter and suddenly, it's very beautiful.
Then we rode the Ferris Wheel and it was fantastic! :D loved it hadn't been in one for a long time!
Alas, after that we started to go home and it took long due to the traffic jam; nevertheless, the lights from that night made it memorable. That concludes my first ever visit to I-City!

I haven't seen a Ferris Wheel in close up for a loooong time and I'm happy to see one :D
Peaceful walk in the park
These are cool! Feels like you're in a spaceship park ^^
And the lights are on~
The flying-swinging ride... hadn't been in one for as long as I remember. I rode it with my colleague and it wasn't very fast but still nice!
Carousel... didn't ride this one. It's for the kids.

April Highlights: Tanjung Sepat Trip
My team leader brought us all back to his hometown to explore around and eat seafood, and it's my first time out there too, and we hadn't had a gathering together for some time already, so this is perfect!
Travelling by carpooling, we reached there and had lunch Bak Kut Teh, which was quite nice. Then we went to the Morib coast and breath in the sea air. I am very pleased to see the beach again. I love the beach! xD
Then we went to another side of the beach where they are selling seafood and that's the main pull of the gathering. Seafood! Although I didn't eat the prawns or crabs because I don't want to dirty my hands eating them, I still sat around and ate the others.
Then we went around to the shops selling seafood goods among other stuffs. These are tiny prawns and I took a pic is because of the name, it's a name of famous Chinese actress Lin Ching-Hsiah.
Then we were taken to a famous pau store, and there is already a queue outside waiting to buy their famous paus.
This is from the coffee store next door. They grind their own coffee and sells them. It was quite good from my colleague's recommendation.

Got my pau! It was the BEST pau I tried in the Peninsula(not that I had tried many...)!
March Highlight: Girl's Generation
Guess who made a special appearance in Kuala Lumpur? The biggest Korean girl group Girls Generation or SNSD (So Nyuh Shi Dae) whichever you wanna call them of course!!!
They were invited for a night's performance in conjunction with the F1 racing event. On site it was called the Twin Tower @live 2012 event. I remember it being a last minute confirmation thingy and the stage wasn't even fully completed the night before... so here it is me taking pics of the stage the night before the performance the next day.
The next day, at lunchtime, I went over with my friend to check out the scene. And under the hot sun there was already a big group of fans sitting there and queuing, trying to get the best space to stand. Due to me working, obviously I'll be at a greatly disadvantageous position when I attend the event later.
After work when I went there, the crowd had grown enormous and it's virtually impossible to get close to the stage anymore. Furthermore, the crowd barricades are positioned in a pretty useless way and there's no getting round to it unless you buy a rockzone ticket or squeeze in with sweaty ppl.
It was only 6.15pm and the performance is not due to start for another 2hrs yet. And ppl had been queuing since 1pm. Crazy much?
In the end, I settled somewhere on the outskirts where I could at least see the screen. Lolz.
So when the hosts started the show, ppl started thinking that SNSD is abt to come out and in a moment of desperation they pushed and broke the barricade down and rushed forward., filling the space there.
Look at them! See how crazy these ppl are just to get a glimpse of the girls. I thought the organising is very bad especially the area for ppl to stand.
Anyway, the girls came out around 9pm and sang for half an hour that's it. About 6 songs. Some talking. Melted everyone's hearts. Went off. Lol!
I actually went over to the side where the girls will be leaving the arena. It's basically human sandwich time and I can only see the tops of their heads as they walked by. Nevertheless, it's great knowing they were so close to me! :D
And that is how the LRT looks like when it's time to go home. Thank goodness for my Touch N' Go!

See how sunny and hot it really is?
Some fanmade posters/banners. Dedication!

It wasn't even their own concert...just a 'special appearance' ppl...

This was what's behind me right after their performance ended.
Dispersing and going home is so difficult because of the human traffic. Lol.
