Family time

Infinity sign. Fail!!
Danish Chasing Me

A couple of nights ago, Liyana and her family came to my house. After a few rounds of DDR, we decided to play with the sparklers that we had. I was trying to get a picture of me doing the infinity sign but it didn't come out right. That was before my nephew got so excited and chased me around with his sparkler.

Goodbye Ann Arbor

I'll be leaving AA in a couple of hours. It's the worst feeling ever, to be leaving a place that I've called home for the past 4 years.

Here are some of the things /people that I'll be missing when I'm in Malaysia:

1)My friends especially Chris, Hongy and Wendy and my sweet baby Jamaine of course.
2)Michigan Hockey and also the Red Wings. FYI, they don't really show NHL in Malaysia. sigh
3) AA public library. My source of free dvd rentals and awesome books.
4)My gym. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
5)The animal shelter. I'm going to miss the grand opening of the new building and that makes me really sad.
6) The awesome parks we have here where I jog with my baby and walk my little doggie.
7) Cheap clothes that are very trendy and also cheap makeup.
8) Nachos and burritos

Here are the things I wish I had done while I was here:
1) going to NYC. I kept putting it off thinking I'll get a job here and live here the rest of my life.
Don't worry. I'll make it there one day.
2)Vegas!!
3) See Kevin James doing his stand up.
4)Going to Ellen Degenere's show.
5) Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and all those touristy places.

Don't worry USA, I'll be back for more sweet memories.

I've picked my "bahan bacaan"(reading material) for the flight. It'll be "The Girl Who Played with Fire". It's by the same author who wrote "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". I've updated the music on my ipod. Most of it will be music from Jamaine's computer. Hopefully listening to my ipod won't make me to sad coz it'll remind me of him.

Goodbye Ann Arbor, Goodbye USA, Goodbye friends!

Why didn't we have...

Ellen Degeneres give our commencement speech?? She's so awesome. Watch this.

Mackinac Island

Last Tuesday Jamaine and I went to Mackinac Island for vacation. The island is about 4 and a half hours away from Ann Arbor. A little island with no cars allowed, except for fire trucks, police car and ambulance. So everyone either had to ride the horse carriages or bicycles.

The island is famous for it's fudge. I'm not a big fan of fudge so each of us got only 1/4 lb of fudge and finished it while we were still on the island. I feel like my teeth were rotting from all the sweets.

So the first night we were there, we ate at a restaurant called Seabiscuit. Just like the movie, or the horse. Guess what movie they keep playing at the restaurant? SEABISCUIT of course.

On the second day, Jamaine and I wanted to jog around the island. Thank god I didn't have to fast that day coz otherwise I would just chill in the hotel. We saw the Arch Rock which was on a hill. Both Jamaine and I were scared of height but we made it up there anyway. After that, we took a trail that I believed would take us back to the main road. But it didn't. A couple of miles later, we saw some people biking on the trail and we asked them for directions. The people had maps, unlike us. We got back on the trail and walked back to the hotel. Altogether, I think we hiked/ jogged for more than 8 miles.

After a long nap that day, we rented a tandem, you know the two bikes attached together like siamese twins. We biked around the island which was about 7 miles. The view was gorgeous. We left the next day. I got a minor tan which seemed almost impossible in Ann Arbor now.

Wrong!

Have u ever heard someone sing a song and completely mess up the lyrics?

I remember when my sister Jaja was doing her A-level, one of her friends sang the song "My All" by Mariah Carey but everytime she got to the chorus she went "I give my arm,...."

And then there's Christine's friend who sang the song "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson and she sang "because of you I never stray too far from the salad bar..." instead of "too far from the sidewalk".

I find this very entertaining.

Karaoke Day and Night

As you might already know, karaoke has been my passion. LOL. Despite the beautiful (NOT) voice that I have, I really enjoy karaoke. Knowing that my mom now owns a karaoke machine makes me really excited because now I can karaoke in Malaysia without having to pay for it.

I never karaoke here in Ann Arbor, well at least not in a private room like I usually do in Malaysia. I've looked at a bunch of online karaoke sites like red karaoke and karaokeplay.com. Most of them suck. Red karaoke's music is just totally off. and Karaoke play has a lot of songs that are not available in instrumental version.

If you know of any good karaoke sites please let me know :) Gracias

fat bort

Jamaine and I got a dog!! whoo!! well it's jamaine's dog. I just like to pretend like he's mine too.

It all happened so fast. We volunteered at an event called Paws in the Park last Saturday. It was a dog event. We were in charge of taking Bort (formerly known as Burton) from the animal shelter to the event. Bort who was being a really well behaved dog stole Jamaine's heart and he ended up apdopting this guy.

Bort definitely attracts a lot of attention when we walk him because he is extremely overweight. He is 55 lbs. I think beagles are supposed to be about 20-30lbs. Since we got him, we've met two people who recognized him from the shelter.


The event was a lot of fun. We got to see dog shows. One of the people who performed there was someone who was on America's got talent. The one who sucked at throwing freesbees. His dog was awesome but he sucked. Guess what. he sorta sucked at the event too. But it was still a good show.

Ever since we got Bort, we've been really occupied. Jamaine totally has a new parent syndrome; taking thousands of pictures of Bort, worrying too much about Bort when he's at work, feeling sad when leaving the house coz Bort whines at the door. It's really funny to watch
