My study agent just called. Btw her name's Leong Ji Li, from Studylink Sdn Bhd. She damn efficient and has helped me with my Oz stuff heaps! I can't thank her enough. So anyhoots, if you're planning to go study at Oz, go find Ji Li. She'll be glad to help.
Okay. So guess what the call was about?? My student visa was just granted! Woot!!!
Oh and another thing.. some girl from Topman also called earlier this morning. She said that my black hoody has arrived! Double woots! Hmm.. I thought someone said one week? *rolls eyes*
I love it when things turn out right. LMFAO!

EDIT (4.o6 PM)
I quote my cousin's status on FB (she's Aussie btw):
Alice Fong i love those phone calls that come JUST at the right time.
What a coincidence, huh?

Follow the yellow brick road
I have exactly one month before I fly down to Oz. Yeah, you heard me read right.. ONE MORE MONTH!
Damn. Time really flies.
Part of me is stoked as hell! Trust me. I've been waiting for this moment of leaving the country for a bloody long time. Then the other part is obviously sad to *sobs* leave.
Sigh..

Roos from the hood
Just got back from my medical check-up. Apparently I'm normal, which is good. So now i just have to wait for my visa to be granted.
Went to OU after the check-up. I need more hoodies for the coming Europe trip and especially for Oz. Topman has some cheap, basic kangaroo ones in plain colors which I really like. Wanted the black hoody but their all out of stock. The only, and I repeat, ONLY outlet that still has it in stock is at Queensbay Mall in Penang! WTF?? I didn't know it was old stock.
So anyhoots, I asked them to send it over and apparently it'll take a week the least. Sigh. I hate it when things go wrong. But I told them to send it over anyways and that I'll come back to the store for it after Europe.
But uhm.. I ended up buying the one in grey :D

Sometime foods
Nicky, Lou, Iman and I baked cookies yesterday. It was tiresome (we had to drop each spoon of batter on onto the mat one-by-one, and there was a giant mixing bowl of it!) but was still fun heaps.
We made two types of cookies. Actually, Iman and I made the batter for the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Nicky and Lou made the Famous Amos ones.
So from the peanut butter batter (Ooh, tongue twister!), I made a 'D' shaped cookie. And it turned out pretty good.
D-licious!
I wanted to take another picture of me biting the 'D' against a white background. Only place was the dining room. Sad thing was after the first try, I was wiping sweat from my cheek when the cookie broke. I forgot I was just holding the tip. It fell, hit a nearby chair and "exploded" all over the floor! Poor cookie :'(
The picture I took before the "explosion".
The cookie's "remains".
The bits I managed to save are on the red cover.
Oh and after dinner, we played Pictionary! I love that game! It was fun heaps too but Lou and I kept getting the difficult words. We lost. Duh!

Drama king
What a wacko night!
Just got back from Alex's party at Iman's place and man, the drama was insane I tell you! But sorry. Not bothering to go into the crazy details.
Honestly though, aside from the drama, it was all still pretty fun. So another party like this one minus all the hooha would be awesome! Anyone willing to organize?

Penang was AWESOME!!!
Well pretty much la, aside from the moments of drama here and there. But whatevs, I had fun heaps!
The beach, especially, was the best! We stayed at this dodgy but still comfy traveler's lodge that's right opposite Batu Ferringhi beach. So we could go to the beach whenever we wanted, 24/7. Our first night itself, we sat at the beach bar drinking and chatting till almost 3am! So fun.
Oh and the food was great too, of course. I ♥ Penang hawker food la seriously. Cheap and so damn good. What else can a foodie ask for? Haha.
Speaking of food, I drank my fill of ambra asam juice there. Haiya ambra, ampula or kedongdong, whatever you wanna call it la. But man, I love that drink. Wonder why they don't have it in abundance here in KL like they do in Penang. Such a disappointment.
Anyhoo, can't wait to do another trip with friends again. They really are very fun. Man, I'm excited already. Woot!

Heading north
Daymn! Alex just called me and wtf the Penang trip starts tonight! Well technically la cause we'll be hanging out till 4am, which is when we'd planned to leave.
I can't believe I forgot all about it. I was so stoked to go. How could I have forgotten?? Shit. And I haven't packed nothing! ZOMG! This is the first time ever I'm packing last minute. I bet I'll forget something.
Okay. Gonna go pack. Bye.

The Penang trip is finally confirmed. Yipadee-doo-dah-yay!
It's gonna be five of us: me, Lou, Nicky, Alex and Iman (She's a new friend. And she's from Maldives. Sweet!) We're going this Friday and will be back Sunday. Now for the shocker.. we're leaving at 4am. Yes, 4 in the pagi! No joke.
Yeah, my friends are crazy, I know. But that's why I love them. Cue: Aawww! :D
I'm so stoked! Woot!

Pentheraphobia
That's the fear of mother-in-laws. I was curious whether such a fear exists. So I googled it and apparently it does.
So I watched Monster-in-Law with my mum this afternoon. It was one of those special Mother's Day movies. Plus I had always wanted to watch it but never got to.
I thought the cat-fights and its results were bloody hilarious, especially the swollen lips. Cause uhm.. well I can relate to that. Used to wake up on some days with swollen lips when I was younger. Dunno why it happens, though.. it just does but very irregularly. Maybe it's some allergic reaction too, but yeah, was some random shit. But obviously mine wasn't as swollen as that la. DUH! Okay, I think I should shut up about that.
Anyhoo, my favorite was Ruby, the assistant. She actually has the balls to talk back and bang some sense into that uncontrollable biatch of a mother-in-law! Wanda Sykes plays Ruby and she's one of my favorite actresses and comedians.
Btw I found a second Monster-in-Law poster:
I like this one better la. The tagline's obviously funnier and I think it's somewhat more easily understandable. Okay whatever. Bye.

Monster-in-Law
After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte 'Charlie' Cantilini finally finds the ultimate man of her dreams, Kevin Fields--only to discover that his mother, Viola, is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired news anchor who is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son's new fiance by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. While Viola's long-time assistant Ruby does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back, and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to see just who is the alpha-female.
