hullo
hah, thought you wouldn't be seeing me for some time did you? well u can't keep me away from my dear blog. right now, i'm in changi, it's 4 in the morning and i'm waiting for my next flight to narita. i know i should be getting some rest but my logic is, i'm trying to get my sleep clock to be n'sync with the eastern zone's.
to those of you whom i called, i had great fun talking to you even though most of you were half asleep. to those of you whom i decided not to wake or who did not pick up your phones, hullo anyway.
can't say anything now so i shall go off. *roam airport*

pack pack pack
i was going to lug my luggage down the stairs this evening but some relatives came over, so i took a nap. the luggage is still in my room. and i'm out of sorts now because i realise that i cannot fit my bolster 'Baby' into my luggage.
almost done packing. was apprehensive about going these few days, but now i'm excited about the journey. they're showing identity on the plane; i saw it at the United Airlines site.
this might be the last post for a few weeks. to one and all, goodbye.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMIL!
may your 19th year be better than your 18th.
may you have one heck of a time in australia.
may you grow wiser in the ways of the world.
may we keep in touch.

score!
was out with my cousins tonight and guess who we saw? soraya dean; according to my cousin, she's one of malaysia's top models. so what did i do? i asked her if she wanted to take a picture.

big mistake
ah! total beng disaster. i hate my hair! the base colour was supposed to be dark and there were supposed to be highlights. now, it is just one colour all around, ugly.

mid-year resolution
i have to learn to dance...breakdance, jazz, hip-hop....as long as my touche moves. as it is, i can't dance to save my life. and for what its worth, i can't sing to save my life either (although from time to time, i tend to tell people that i made it into the vj choir).

amen!

first pic upload

ahhh......
i finally bought my digital camera today. along with a 128 Mb memory stick, a 128 Mb thumb drive and a notebook lock. i will feel guilty about spending this much money for probably the rest of the academic year.

atomic jaya
*twiddle thumbs* I watched yet another malaysian play tonight. 'Twas a good night. I'm trying to make the most of my last week here. One of the things I will miss about Kuala Lumpur is its Arts scene.
Atomic Jaya is a comedy about what it would be like if Malaysia decided to build an atom bomb. Funny because the actors switched characters swiftly. And I find out that I'm not the only one who is confused about the whole Petaling Jaya Seksyen system.

6 more days to impending doom.

*point of information* Huzir Sulaiman graduated from Princeton *jealous*

scared
a week left. have i taken in as much as i can?
i'm afraid i'll lose my manglish and singlish.
i'm afraid i'll lose my innocence.
i want to grow up though.
see you in pennsylvania!

nobody wants me to call them
sigh.

I'm compiling a list of pple i'm going to call from changi when i'm there on the 21st morning.
If you would like a phonecall early in the morning, we're talking 1-6am here, leave your phone number and preferred time in the comments box or email me.
umm...i'm thinking nobody wants me to call them .... that would be damn maluating.

I finally found one that is not intrusive... friday five! (on a tueday night, no less)

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings?
It depends. During my jc days, it was around 630am (if i made it to class). When I was a Vacation Trainee (it's a special title, okay) at KPMG, I woke up at 745. Nowadays, it's whenever I like, because I'm worth it (maybe it's Maybelline!). Today, it was 930.

2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late?
It depends. I used to have French classes on Saturday mornings so I had to wake up early. Now I'm free on Sats so it's whenever I like. Sundays are a no no for sleeping in. Mum wakes us up like a sergeant during a drill for church. Church starts at 730 so she HAS to get us out of bed at 600.

3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?
I think about going back to sleep again. Sometimes I succeed in doing just that. Sometimes I don't. If the latter happens, I switch off the fan, or the air-con, troop to the wash room, reach for unmentionables, pee, brush teeth, wash face, wipe face, go down for breakfast.

4. How long does it take to get ready for your day?
Depends. If I'm not going out, 2 minutes. If I'm going out, it depends again. With who, doing what? Shortest time taken to get ready 3 minutes. Longest time, 20 minutes (bath and contact lens time included).

5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast?
It used to be the Jalan Batu food court near Dunman High. What I wouldn't do to have half boiled eggs, kaya toast and soya bean milk at 9am in the morning. In KL, no one I know who lives within a 3 km radius from my place is awake before noon, so got no breakfast kaki. Breakfast is whatever I can get my hands on...most likely plain bread and fresh juice.

hi, i'm not dead yet. i just don't have anything to say. blogger is pretty cool, it can detect my browser so when i use opera instead of ie, it gives me a different post screen. i'm leaving in 2 weeks time and it's scaring me. halfway through order of the phoenix, it's boring and draggy but i have to read it anyway.

All future correspondences, snail mail and other paraphernalia (read: birthday cards and presents) can be mailed to me at the following address:

Sim Wee Lee
Messiah College
PO Box 6305
One College Ave
Grantham, PA 17027

I still have not figured out the phone system.
