Why I love holidays?

How would any1 hate holidays?? I for 1 absolutely adore holidays.. Who can ever complain sitting around doing nothing but eat-sleep-play?? Eh wait.. there's 1 person.. a person very dear n close to me.. mi hermana!! she was so bored comin back home!! but i for 1 absolutely loves it when she was back here.. at least she was here to be bored with me.. hehehehe...

So why exactly do i love holidays.. let's c wat i've done so far.. came back from sabah (study not holidaying there although it is known to be a famous tourist destination) on the 30th of april.. Have been waiting for tat day for ages.. well u cant really blame me cos i miss home so much!! last i was back was during cny!! but then my hols had aldy officially begun in sabah earlier.. visited kundasang.. i was mesmerized by the beauty there.. the scenery was breath taking!!

I told u it was beautiful rite??

Small New Zealand in Sabah
So basically we went to Kundasang.. a convoy of Malaysian made cars.. 2 Saga, 1 Waja n 1 Viva.. a total 23 of us.. Yes i kno d no cant be made up to 5 per car.. We had to la.. not enuf cars punya pasal.. hehehehe.. stayed in Rose Cabin.. a place for back packers with amazing scenery.. imagine opening up the backdoors n there it is.. The Majestic Mount Kinabalu!! Amazing~ Woke up at 5 to catch the sunrise.. But it got too cold for me to handle so tidur balik.. lol.. it was cold u kno!! i dunno how it wud be when i o climb mount kk next time.. scary.. bring thick thick baju..
Okie basically that was holidays in Sabah.. Now back in Semenanjung.. spent about a week here before flying off to abu dhabi for holidays!! I know i'm such a lucky chica.. lol.. So the 1 week spent here doing nothing much.. had to rush down to UKM on the 3rd day i was back for a competition.. Came back with the news that I'm going to Taiwan!! woo~hoo!! oh yea~ lol.. i did my research for the project okie.. totally deserved it.. lol.. So Taiwan here i come.. hold it!! before that abu dhabi dulu..
Wat i enjoy most about Abu Dhabi is basically spending time with sis.. I kno it sounds cheesy n all but it was like one of my habits since i was young.. Where Eileen is, that's where her sis will follow.. it gotten so bad at 1 point that my sis had to practically scream at me "go away la!" when i was younger to 'shoo!' me away.. but that never stopped me.. will stay put for awhile then continue following her.. macam papparazi.. or better yet her guard.. lol.. only after she went off to university she let me hang out with her.. boleh ajak me go yam cha somemore.. how things change when u're growing up!!
So spent about 2 weeks there.. almost.. basically tis time wasn't like the last time where sis brought me around to show me abu dhabi.. more relaxing n going with the flow.. i did get a chance to visit dubai again.. weee~ remind me how lucky i m again.. hehehehe.. so tis time instead of visiting burj al-arab, we head off to the most majestic building yet now in dubai.. or better yet the building that's towering all other buildings there r in dubai (dahla semua building in dubai dah tinggi2, ni lebih tinggi lagi beberapa kali ganda.. remind me of myself in primary school pula. lol).. the tallest building in the world..

Burj Dubai

It's so amazing to c it in real life.. u take a look at klcc n u're like whoah!! that building is tall.. now imagine looking at this building (almost double of klcc).. *pengsan*.. although still under construction, the sheikh (i'm vy bad at pronouncing this word) had aldy officiated it the day be4 i visited Dubai as the tallest building in the world!! Along with it..

Dubai Mall a.k.a the largest mall in the world

And the tallest performing fountain in the world..
Wow.. so many tallest, biggest all in 1 day!! hahahaha.. that's dubai my friend.. walking around Dubai Mall was fun!! i remembered holding up a dhs 2500++ dress for small girls.. call that crazy!! It was just a white dress.. i would say that it is like a mini wedding gown for small girls.. gila mahal!! shopped around.. din buy anything actually.. hahahahah... d food selection in the food court was good.. eastern meet western.. mexican, chinese, lebanese, american.. u name it, they have it.. healthy snacks to guilty pleasures.. all in 1 food court.. sedap~ hehehehe.. then i also had the priviledge of going into the largest bookstore i've entered so far.. Kinokuniya in Dubai.. it was huge!! for book lovers, this place seems like a paradise!! ranging from fiction to non-fiction, kids to adults, comics, manga.. semua ada.. hehehehe.. but this mall was more of a window shopping mall for me personally.. patutla din buy anything!! All designer labels, how to buy?? not like i earning millions a year.. 1 cent oso not earning now.. lol..
What else in the mall?? tons of other stuff!! i especially loves the entertainment the management prepared for the visitors.. there were like parades of walking clowns or somewhat like tat.. u'll get to hear them dancing around to their songs throughout the mall.. not forgetting stages for musical performances.. there were band performance, violin.. that's all i can remember.. tapi ada la lain2.. hehehehe.. oh yea.. 1 of the most exciting part of this trip for me was visiting the 'zoo' and the aquarium.. it was fun.. u get to c eileen n wayne harley dancing around in the aquarium.. keith n justin oso.. lol.. okie la.. not like that.. i saw a huge variety of fishes, seahorses, seal, penguin, sharks n many many more!! now this was the only photo i took..
Reminded me of spongebob going jelly fishing
That's y i took it.. hehehehe.. so nice isn't it?? playing with the penguin was a lot of fun.. they just followed ur strap.. swimming trying to catch it.. hehehehe.. All in a lot was learnt during the trip n i had a blast!! At nite be4 heading home we watched the performing fountain.. it was beautiful!! i had seen it thru dad's recording of it when he visited last time.. but c-ing it for urself is a whole diff experience!! the last part of the water show was when the water shot vy high up, then the wind blew n the water come pouring down like it was drizzling.. nak lari pun tak sempat.. so in the end wat la.. hehehehe.. i wud do it again.. hahahaha.. then i had another chance of watching it in the kinokuniya book shop.. it was an even greater view! cantik sekali.. Other things done in the mall.. saw a fashion show, watch ppl skating n falling in the skating ring, drank the coffee brewed by the man in the shop (i still don like coffee).. all in it was just a fun day out..
Imagine all that happen in 1 day sahaja.. what else i did in abu dhabi?? went to all the malls there.. had loads n loads of hot chocolate (hahahaha).. went makan in diff2 places.. oso tried wayne harley's cooking.. best~ specially liked the.. eh wait.. semua pun suka.. but the thing i did most there was.. friends marathon!! alamak!! pegi jauh2 to watch friends.. apala!! hahahaha.. i have been away from tv for too long.. made it all up the time i was in abu dhabi.. played cluedo oso.. i was good at it.. lol.. *perasan* speaking of cluedo, it was oso bought in dubai mall when we visited Hamleys.. it was like a fairytale come true for kids.. so much of toys!! felt like a small girl all together when i was there.. basically it was a real relaxing trip.. enjoyed it habis2..
Oh yea.. while in abu dhabi oso they organised a picnic for all.. played around.. ate a lot.. all in great day out.. it was so fun revisiting corniche.. it has been a year n 4 months now since i've been there last n corniche has transformed so much!! there's beach now.. hahahaha... imagine how much abu dhabi has changed.. constructions everywhere.. the F1 circuit oso in the midst of completion aldy.. the ring looks fantastic!! even i'm not much of a fan, but the ring design really is a piece of art.. even etihad airways have evolved in a lot of aspects.. the last i came there weren't that many malaysian pilots.. now sudah banyak.. finally got to meet justin ong ma lao in person.. now i understand y jie likes to talk to him so much.. last i came cuzzy was still a bachelor, now happily married although wedding ceremony belum diadakan.. will occur soon enuf.. so much has changed.. let's just hope for the better.. of cos it is for the better..
In a blink of an eye (i shud stop blinkin so much), back in Malaysia sudah.. it is so hot here!!! tak boleh tahan ohr!! jie was having a hard time adjusting back to the heat.. even for me it was hot.. patutla status tu appear in ym.. hahahaha.. back in Malaysia it's the same routine la.. so far i hv yet to swim.. i kno la.. stay in pd tapi tak gi swimming.. hehehehe.. tapi sudah watch movies (check!).. slept in cinema (check!).. watch series (check!).. you-tubing (check!).. forget about homework (check!).. update blog (half check!).. yam cha with frens (check!).. and the list goes on la.. hehehehe.. now other things that needs to be done:
