Dear Diary

Nasty

There had been a series of fortunate events since I last left here. First I burnt midnight oil for the Perlantikan Interview last minute study, then drove behind my cousin's car all the way to Putrajaya at 6am, met Lai Yee and Ajim there, was the few first to arrive, but was the last to come out. The questions were easy so I couldn't stop elaborating, till she urged me to stop.

All I'd talk about was the Indian kids, divorced parents, poor family backgrounds, interesting classes and FPK... All that was crammed in my small soul has suddenly decided to outpour to a stranger, a motherly stranger that is, name is Pn Margaret Ho. I picked McD for celebration lunch meal, but after having it, I decided not to ever take fast food again. I was lost at USJ 22 but eventually found my way to the center.

The next day Baby and I went up the hill, Cameron that is to have a 3 days 2 nights off. We took an easy 2.5 hours to reach Brinchang, it was about 2pm when we checked into Tudor's hotel. It is a colorful, cozy and cheap stay in the middle of the hustle bustle town. We went to have a peek at De Olde Smokehouse where prices are skyhigh.


We explored the Brinchang Boh tea factory, and went further up into the highest peak of Brinchang, which is 2000 ft above sea level. Then we took the road less taken up to the forbidden telekom towers which is quite visible from far below.

Next it's Raju's Hill farm where we had a nice wine glass of Strawberry choc Sundae and went to Ee feng Fu bee farm.

Strolled in Sam Poh Tong temple and then to Tanah Rata to have tea a scones at Cameronian Inn. I love the ambience particularly because it feels warm and homely, price isn't that high too.



At night we had a scrumtious feast at Pasar malam eventhough it was drizzling and wet. I could still reaccount, Asam Laksa, char kuey teow, deep fried golden lily flowers with flour, golden mushroom, watercress, and last but not least, the ice cream, STOUT and WHISKEY as dessert. We watched how the Malaysian team won China team in the semis.

It was a lovely trip. I couldn't help but wish it would all last longer. Unfortunately Monday came as the school assembly was full of red hats and patriotic badges. Merdeka celebration this year is earthshakingly (for me) different from passed years.

On Merdeka day itself, Baby came with me to my good friend's wedding luncheon and had a big meal at Sam You, Seri Kembangan. I had a tough time mingling in, but thanks to Baby, I had quite a great time.

Later I hang out at baby's place and had a nice, quiet dinner with his parents. His mom baked Vanilla cake and it is very delicious. We then went to Aeon for a walk, and we bought Starbucks promotion Hibiscus and Lemon Green tea shake. All we could taste was lemon actually. Before driving me home, we had some tasty Laksa and Kuey Teow soup at Pandamaran as supper.

And then another good holiday passed. Our PK1's daughter is here for observation AKA PBS, and he assigned her to me, so I let her sit behind the class (same like what I did in the past) and do my thing. I did a load full of things, mostly making my life easier. One of the things I felt overtly relieved was typing and printing out the meeting minute and memo for my school, photocopying quality hand books and handing daddy this month's household fees while still topping up my tng. The government is also big-hearted enough to award us with bonus RM500 today. Wee!

At night I went for Gym and so now I am feeling slightly healthier after all those guilty indulging. >.<
Anyways a candid pic. Thanks for viewing!
