The Young & Restless

Last Sat was a big day for our dearest kai yeh…yes..you guessed it right..it’s his birthday. Well it wasn’t exactly on the day but we’ve threw him a birthday party in surprise on this particular day to everyone’s convenient. Last years MI Vick & Victor will be attending too. LOL thanks to Kai Ma’s tactics, he doesn’t even know or suspect a single thing of it.

It’s Pikom PC fair week at KL Convention Center…I needed a DVD burner to my collection. Copying gigs of files to CDs ain’t a solution. Imagine the no. of CDs I had to spend in this manner. At the same time, could do the Australian Idol season 3 that Melv & Kenny requested months ago. Decided to get one less than RM200.

Waited for priest & his dad at Universiti station. All this while, PC Fair has always been held in PWTC..gotta find where the Convention Center was. Much to my surprise, it’s just outside the KLCC fountain park, walk all the way to the right is a newly built glass concept building. Ah..new discovery LOL.

This building could actually a perfect place to have the MI auditions..if it wasn’t for the tight budget..a waste though. Searched through the halls and I came to stop at this Lite-On boot. Of all I’ve surveyed, this has the cheapest DVD burner…RM177. Bought it and 20 DVD-Rs and a DVD-RW for a total of RM222. Priest got his CD-Rom here too at the same time. We walked to the exit when we passed this banner that said "Gift redemption for purchase of more than RM200". We asked the guard as to where the redemption counter was and he pointed that we have to leave the buliding and walk all the way to the entrance. We did as he said but down at the counter, the receptionist told me that my resit should be printed and not a handwritten resit..I was a little annoyed why hadn’t they given me a printed resit when I bought the burner earlier. Asked by right it’s still valid since I did bought the stuffs for more than RM200..but the receptionist insisted that I had to get the printed resit from that booth. Wth…not giving up my gift, priest & I made a dashing for another big round to the same booth again and demanded for the printed resit. Left the place immediately and back to the counter. Redeemed 10 pieces of CD-Rs from Pikom. All the rushing and hurrying made us tired..sat down at a corner to rest for a while first before we made our move back into KLCC complex. It’s already almost 5pm. Kai yeh’s birthday party begins at 7pm in Sungai Wang. We tried getting a bus to Sungai Wang but none seemed to be going there. Couldn’t wait any longer, we decided to grab a cab instead.

Sharply at 6pm, there’s a small event held outside the entrance opposite Lot 10…for the benefits of HIV/AIDS organisation. Daniel would make a guest performance here so Kai Yeh & Kai Ma would definitely be there (knowing how avid fans were they LOL). At first we thought it was inside Sungai Wang when we saw Ray & Raymond standing there but no one else around (Thought was weird..what happened to the crowd and everything? Only then realised it’s outside aiyoh..) And I happened to bump into Kheng Jun whom I’ve hardly met since in college. Told me he found a job at Shah Alam and that if I need one later, he’d recommend me. Cool. Saw Kai Yeh standing slightly in front…almost greeted him when Kai Ma called me from behind. She informed us to wait at Marche World Cafe..that’s where it’s been held.

I hurried and went to get Kai Yeh a card (paiseh..if not I didn’t have anything to give to kai yeh then LOL) while priest went to help me look for Nikki’s CD (yes, I still failed to get it, no thanks to someone). Finally found a suitable card, now to look for the cafe, which I have no idea which level it was.  Asked the info counter where it was..pointed me to go straight, turn left and I would see the big sign above. Madam Wong Cafe it read. Wat crap…that sesat fella lead me to the wrong cafelah. No choice..called priest..only to tell that it’s located at the highest level..swt…all the searching and running made me really did swt like mad…

Thank god I found the place..Ray, Raymond & priest already there..was more like going for a search hunt looking for this cafe..slumped to a seat to ease my hurting leg after all the running..Had to scribble some wishes on the card immediately before kai yeh arrives. Minutes passed, the usual turned up, Michael, Jo, Uptowndragon and his gf, Teng, Boon Cheong and another gal which I’m not familiar with. Vick, Victor, Ostrova & Evonc visible soon after. Most important person should arrive the latest LOL.

Finally, in the distance, Kai Ma & Kai Yeh together with their children and 2 maids arrived. Someone initiated the birthday song and we started singing as they made their ways into a section made specially for his birthday. As we sat down and enjoyed our dinner, the deejay hosting and playing musics..get a load to this..he spoke real fluent Cantonese and Mandarin but the twist was..he’s totally not a Chinese but an Indian. We stared in amazement how fluent he spoke a language which everyone perceived he wouldn’t understand. Chances are so minor but there’s the possiblity that you would encounter such unique people. Most probably due to the environment they brought up, best describes it.

Took a number of pics with everyone, the centre of attraction of course, was kai yeh and no surprise Vick & Victor as well. The deejay requested both of them to sing for the cafe. Only Vick sang as when he (the deejay) called out for Victor, he was away (in the toilet I heard LOL).

After dinner, Vick suggested to go karaoke at Red Box in the upper level. I wouldn’t mind joining them, even though it’s already 2am plus hehe..how bad I’m staying back and ended home late. Luckily Vick’s friend offered me a ride home..about 5am..and I showered and washed my hair at the wee hours of the morning!!

Last Wed, Huoy Feng & Mel came down to KL. Meeting Mel in KL later at night, which I so can’t wait..been months since we last met each other ;). Hopefully can meet both she & HF so I could personally hand her the CD. Another Daniel’s autograph session at Rock Corner in Midvalley. Mum’s friend wanted to get his CD and since I’m going to there to check out the autograph session and also Nikki’s Maharani CD (Yes, last years Top 5 Nikki has released her album recently), she asked me to get for her friend too. I got there with priest slightly late..the usual screaming gangs of Pinkies visible with their deafening pitch as ever. Rock Corner had Daniel to do the opening act with the autograph session. Smart..in a way. Bought Daniel’s CD first and had it signed for mum’s friend before we searched for Music Valley in the complex for Nikki’s CD. Found it, but it’s under renovation. Earlier on we tried searching for it at Victoria Music Station but no luck. So as to Tower Records. The manager had been promoting it greatly in the BH forum but it’s so freaking hard to get her album. Even dare to tell us music records such as Tower or Speedy are the last places we looked into. HELLO..these are the places where people frequent the most for CDs k..who would rather go searching for those auntie or uncle private unknown retailers out of nowhere??!! Unless these major outlets wouldn’t wanna ship in her CDs then please admit so. You know..it’s testing my patience level cos I’ve been to so many places yet they don’t have the CD on the date it was supposed to be shipped in. Imagine the time and energy wasted. Fans don’t want a hardship getting the album, that’s one. </rant>

We got back up again to see if it’s ended. Apparently not..gals are still pretty much screaming for him. Hehe..at one point we were in the midst to the parking lot, Teng blurted out unintently that priest had Daniel’s hp no..and there were these 2 maniac fans overhearing..all because she said out damn loud >.< and begged him for his number ( LOL thank god she didn’t mention I had his no. too..for I’d been mobbed down as well XP). They actually chased him till he had to hide! Imagine the madness…LOL..

Kai yeh had extra Daniel posters ..figured Huoy Feng’s gonna be so glad that I took one for her hehe..she better give me a treat when I get back =P. Wouldn’t wanna end up tired for tonight’s meeting with Mel do got back home to rest first. Priest wanted to go to Central Market to check for Nikki’s album..dropped him off at Bangsar station. Haven’t really had my lunch do went to KFC to get some minor bite. Called HF to checked on her whereabouts..turned out her job interview in Genting wasn’t really successful..said they’d call her if they needed. She and her friends are hanging out in KLCC. Too bad couldn’t meet up together with Mel (who’s just reached KL) as she and her friends had already bought return tickets to Sitiawan at 7.30pm the same day.

Mel just smsed that she had reached the entrance of Vistana Hotel. Agreed to meet at 7.30..ample time for me to prepare myself LOL. Was worried that I’d look the weirdest when I see her..totally no idea what should I wear..and I remembered the red shirt I wore during the Deepavali nite which Dina complimented on. Can’t ponder any longer..just grabbed that shirt and the usual pair of jeans and got to the LRT station. Oh..almost forgot it’s Tsann’s birthday, sent him an sms wish. Replied that he found a job as QA in Pontian..good that he managed to find one fast. Got down at Masjid Jamek to switch to STARS..had difficulty passing throught the exit with the stupid Touch N Go’s sensitivity..usually I’d just touched through my wallet but wth..I took the damn card out and pressed it through. Got up to the station at Masjud Jamek, called Mel to check if she’s out. Waiting for me at the entrance..okay.

Descended at Titiwangsa..crossed the overhead bridgde to Vistana hotel in sight. From a distance, I could she she’s waiting patiently..totally unawared I was directly behind her. I wanted to sneak up behind her but damn..LOL didn’t work as she suddenly spunned her head to my side pula.

Mel wanted to have a look at The Borders in Times Square..so we decided to have dinner there and after that to the Borders. I took her to highest level and so happened we ended up in front of Cosmos World Amusement Park. Mel saw the dashing rollercoaster..said she wanted to try how terrified it was. Well since I’ve never been in anyway and we haven’t taken our dinner, why not. Fee’s RM25..gosh..it’s so expensive for only a few rides..save for the unlimited number of rides..it isn’t really worth it but for first timers, I guessed it’s sill fine. We tried the rollercoaster first..as we entered got stopped by the person in charge at side cos of our bags..gotta keep them in lockers. Can’t remember when was the last time I was down here..a lil nervous when I strapped myself into the seat LOL.

The coaster started moving..getting prepared..and off it went. Halted. Came off a little dizzy..then my stomach felt some sort..probably 5% of puking level. Then we went for the wild spinner. I’ve seen this before it spins so fast that the velocity pushes you to one corner..requires an abundant of strength to tried countering it. Got off…feeling worst..the puking level had mounted up to 50%..was getting really uncomfortable. I knew I don’t have such problems when I went to amusement parks the last time but now..getting old..cough cough..LOL. I so needed to cool myself off..somewhere to settle down first. Mel wanted to go for the rollercoaster for the 2nd time and that’ll be the last. My condition forbade me of trying anymore rides…and it was getting late too as we haven’t had our dinners. I got off feeling to the extreme level of really throwing up anytime..whoa..no more…think it’s close 75% already..I’ve had it..really need to find a place to sit down and rest. We sat outside the benches along the pillars by the side..me tried to calm it down while Mel smsed her lao kong, Vincent ;P.

Couldn’t think of a place to eat..since most it’s already 9pm plus..most of the restaurants are closing..wanted to dine at Secret Recipe but it’s shut. Finally we landed ourselves in Starbucks. So nice of Mel to treat me…will treat her again in 2 weeks time ;). Ordered Mocha, chicken bun and marble cheese cake while she picked mango juice and marble cheese cake. Found a spot, sat down and enjoyed our meal and chatted for hours. In betweens, we miscalled Pey Tsei, Huoy Feg & Jo for the fun of it LOL.

Watch read 11.36pm. Gotta leave as I need to catch the last train home. We left Starbucks, quickened our pace to Monorail. A little worried when we read the signboard saying 11.38pm was the last train so I asked the ticket counter and thank god there was a last train to Titiwangsa. At least we weren’t stranded. But then again, it was unlucky for me though. I may have managed to send Mel safe and sound back to the hotel, my last train to Masjud Jamek has ended. Well, totally no choice but to flag down a cab. Fortunate enough, managed to hire one within minutes. Got back home, stomach still a little upset after all that up down left ride centre turning in the park..smsed to Mel that I was already back..jumped to bed.

They celebrated Mandy’s birthday last Monday at McDs opposite Ikea. Got the msg only at 12pm and since I’ve got nothing to do…picked priest up and went there together. Teng, Ostro, Myn, Ivy and Mandy were eating while we sneaked and joined in. Later we decided to check out Ikea across the road. We could lay out on the sofas, chairs and the best thing; the beds LOL. Imagine every sort of designs all of us messed up sitting and sleeping on them XD. Myn was like holding to Ostro as if they’re a couple and we started teasing them with the word ‘parking‘. Everytime we said "Don’t park here" or "Stop parking you two" we ended burst out laughing loudly. We officially ‘corrupted’ this word LOL.

Farah was to meet us back at McDs as we wanna surprised Mandy her birthday cake. She came later with a friend, Sandra, her PA. She had colourful dreadlocks and at first glance, anyone would totally mistaken she wasn’t local when the fact she’s a pure Indian. We greeted them and I noticed she wore the butterfly locket I gave her during the surprise party! So happy =D hehe. Myn wanted to catch a movie at 1 Utama. Farah couldn’t join us as she had a demo recording later at night. We left McDs and headed for 1 U to purchase tickets for any nice available shows. I trailed Farah while Ivy trailed us. Can’t believe my eyes when Farah made the cut in between lanes…she was really quick man! I couldn’t catch up on her. LOL we were sort of like racing against each other..getting side by side and changing lanes almost immediately after one another..dangerous I know hehe. At 1 corner, the traffic light flickered to red. Farah’s Satria was way in front. Ostro who was driving Ivy’s car was behind us. I was sort of didn’t allow them to overtake us and upon reaching the red light, I started stepping on the brake pedal but the car was still going rather fast..till I had to really hit it harder and there was a loud screeching sound behind us. Thought it was coming from my car but turned out it was Ivy’s. They were right behind us..Ostro had really pressed on hard for if not, they could have rammed on my boot. Priest & I could still manage to laugh as though it’s so funny..thinking back now, that could almost cost an accident.

We were the first ones to reached GSC first. Gazed upon a level below, Farah & Sandra were walking towards the escallator. we purposely stood in front it till they ascended LOL. Farah & Myn’s dad called to ask Myn to get home soon which meant we couldn’t catch the show. Everyone was so disappointed, especially Myn. Since the show’s been called off, we sort of hung out around, bought sometime before everyone parted. There were these mini train in a shape of stuffed animals for kids to ride along the complex. Farah wanted to ride them and I was like..omg..really? I mean..those are for children LOL..It’ll look so cute XD…Farah sat in between with Mandy, Sandra sat the last coach while Myn sat in front (If I’m not mistaken). Oh this was so gonna be memorable..I wanted to take a video of it but my digicam battery was long dead while taking Mandy’s birthday earlier on. So as the guy started operating the little train while Teng & Ivy had their cams ready. And off they ’skittled’ long the shops. Practically everyone who we passed by..even the people in the shops never failed to stare in amazement at us as we were laughing the entire way. Thank god it was a weekday if not there could have been more people looking at us LOL. The train circled one round and back to where we started. Farah said it wasn’t enough and she wanted to go for another round LOL..but then again she’s gotta get going for her demo. Said our goodbyes and she left with Sandra.
