It had just started to rain as I went out of the house this evening. Yes, I'm finally moved to Shah Alam! Today ada jamming session with The Pips at Sunway. Some thing interesting caught my eyes as I walked pass the field, I saw about a dozen cows! They were chewing away the grass while some kids played football on the basketball court near them. It was a really funny sight..

A friend who lives here called this part of Shah Alam as the ghetto. Migrants, factory workers, run down flats, crowded streets. I like it. It gives the place its signature compared to the lonely quiet middle class suburbs. There are "guerilla" gardens everywhere. I think I kind of get it when my friend said he's proud of this place. Haha.

Wahh.. dah lama tak join jamming. Cem taught me my first drum lesson. I have an unresponsive leg. My motor system needs practice to synchronize with movements of my hands. Nasib baik ada cikgu! They practiced a new song. Wait for it at the next gig on 19th at Noisy Studio, Ampang. Best!

After the session was over, we had a quick chat about how it's uncool to held a collective convergence during CNY. Some of us wanted to go but couldn't due to the celebration and the poor public transportation condition there. I wanted to go but i celebrate CNY! Both my parents are Chinese now... Used to be half. Don't know lah...

Hujan je baru baru ni.. It’s a good thing.. for my room doesn’t have a fan yet. I sleep on the floor. Not so good to go out coz I don’t own an umbrella. I’m cool with using just plastic to cover my head for now although I hate the water for soaking my sox+shoe and being splash by cars/buses as they drove by gila laju through the puddle! Another thing I like is when it’s an excuse to search for nice hot soup….. Nyumm.

Okaylah enough for tonight. Nak tidur. zzzzzzzzzz

Me and my friends got togetha for ALL GRRRLS PANIC PICNIC at Shah Alam. We just chilled, played games, shared ghost stories, eat eat eat a lot! The day before, I managed to bake an almost burned cake. Haha.
The cake was kind of dry after that. It's a long story lah. But it turned out ok becoz i had covered it with chocolate topping. So everything looked yummy. (most ended up at the event at Noisy by a travelling cyclist - Stania from Italy). We also cooked mash potato and the sauce. That was really yummy!

On New Year’s Eve, I met a new friend. Her name is Pik Svoon. She's nice and funny. And.. She’s FR's girlfriend. I'm not allowed to say the full name. :P
Well she called and wanted to chill with us. Comel and gila2 that girl!

We played charade. It was crazy.. i don't need to elaborate. Then we got a point where we shared ghost stories. Pik Svoon lah mula. She was like, "hey you all have ghost stories ah?"

We were so excited about this picnic that we really organize everything from what tea cups to bring to the color of the mat. It was chaos! We've learned that we will always be colorful and not drabby with ALL BLACK. Not that black isn't nice and elegant but it has that vibe.. That dullness. machoness. stereotyping. too anarchistic. Maybe we should tone down and flash colors instead! Yay gay life must be! Err I was wearing black shirt that night. Damn.

The streets were wild! Families, motorcyclist, car racers, cyclists!, couples, kids, cops were everywhere! It didn’t really bother us as we were in our own little world in the field on our small mats. It had rained earlier that day. So the grass was a bit squishy. That’s why not many people got on the field like they usually would. There was also a football match going on the other field. Music from cars was loud. Everyone was excited for the countdown to start. It was not as crazy packed and wild like KL I might say. That’s why we chose to get together at Shah Alam. A friend said she once had to spend 3 hours in the car during New Year’s Eve and countdown. That’s crazy! So many people in one place at one time. Even cars flooded the city. I'm glad i was in Shah Alam!

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER!

. Yesterday i went out with my sister. We woke up so early! At about 4.30a.m! We were so sleepy the whole day. We went to Shah Alam to meet up with my sister's best friend who studied with her in UiTM. He was from Sabah too. He was really nice. We walk around in PKNS and SACC mall. They chatted the whole day and we looked for stuff. I bought some cool things adding to my bakery collection, a pair of scrapers and a set of really cute measuring cups which are shaped like geese. They're really cute and I'm glad I had bought them. Makes me smile every time I look at them. They stack on top of each other. They came with some measuring spoons. Costs only RM8.50 per set



We looked for yarns as well for knitting obsession. Every time I see those yarns which had a whole range of splashing colors, I would go nuts! They're so vibrant and cute! I got myself some shocking pinks and vibrant purple to make a scarf. My sis also bought some to make a scarf as a gift to her friend which I mentioned earlier because he's going away to his hometown next two weeks. Knitting is a very therapeutic hobby. Kind of like owning a pet. The repetition movement (like stroking a cat – something to do with the nerve endings at your fingers and skin) makes you more focus and at the same time you can wonder off your mind to something else. Think about what to do, future, past, present, happy thoughts etc. At the end of each project, you'll get excited as you'll have your craft. You can wear them, feel the softness of the fabric and enjoy the cuteness of the patterns. You can give them as presents to your love ones. Or splurge yourself with them as clothes or accessories. I'm starting to collect yarns as I need to find the ones which can be worn in our climate. Still a lot to learn. From the technique to patterns. I'm so excited!

By the way, about my cookie project, they had actually turned out to be tasty cookies! Yay! but I still don't have the parchment paper. Apparently normal shops don’t carry those stuff. I will have to look for bakery supplier shop instead. So for the time being, my cookies are kind of oily! I think I will need to replace them with normal A4 paper to soak the butter oil from the cookies. *wink*

Next project, pies! My friend Hana called me yesterday and we will have a picnic trip right here near my house! Another friend, Marr will be joining us as well! They will come with their bicycles and we will ride our bikes to Broga! We'll see some cool spots with nice scenery to set our picnic basket and makan our freshly baked pies! I haven't hanged out with my friends for a couple of months now. I heard that Broga has some really nice scenery and if we're lucky maybe we could find a river or a waterfall. Who knows? We'll ask around.

You can do this too! Just take your bicycle and load them in a bus to somewhere and start travelling by bicycle! Or just start cycling to somewhere near, a lake near your house for instance. Travelling by bicycle is way awesome because you can stop anywhere and go where no car can go. It'll be slow compare to cars but it'll be great for your health and what's important is the quality time spent with friends and enjoying the nature! In kampung like where I live, nature is at its best. GREEN all the way! I'll write about it after the trip~

These fickle fingers did it again. They picked some cute flowers while waiting to go home late last night. They have been picking flowers from all over where she'd been to. Each encounter with wild flowers made her very happy that she would know which flowers can be dried and be perfect or which that is too fragile. She slept at exactly 12 midnight.
