We went to surprise Diana yesterday. Apparently, there are 4 people that I know that share the same birthday, oct30, georgia, yyw, diana n him(sung).

For some reason, I was reminded of that hurtful incident again. I was reminded of his b'day last yr, how i initiated the idea of small party for him by inviting jj and all. I even made him a card (well, not the best card, but at least I have the sincerity). And not to forget all the house cleaning, cooking, accomodating him ... And what did I get? The second worst moment of my life thus far, the most hurtful, desolated chinese new year and birthday ever in my twenty years! 伤心，孤独，狼狈...

It's really difficult... i though i could be strong, be brave, but i'm still very weak, very foolish! Still foolish enough to shed tears because of this again.

To make matter worse, some people just have to rub it in, opening the wound again, and making it deeper, more painful.

Anyway, there are some photos from past weeks events that I attended- Japanese night and the Multicultural children fair that my org. attended. We had to do last minute preparation on Wed for the Thursday fair :( It was rather crazy, and I ended with gastric pain >.<

The boy is cute, isn't he?

Went to OKC today. My cousin asked me to. I was rather surprised that they could remember to ask me along. Usually, they just couldn't be bothered about me. Anyway, if they ask, I won't decline. So went to OKC after ... dunno hw many months. I think the last time I went there to shop was when I just reached okc from indo. Nonetheless, bought some stuffs and then went to a Vietnamese noodle restaurant to eat dinner and we heard the owners quarrelling in Vietnamese. We were quite scared. If we knew what they were talking, it would make us feel a little better, but we didnt' know what's going on. So we quickly ate our food and left.

Liverpool lost to Besiktas!!! Hyypia scored 2 own goal in two consecutives games!!! Blaming him alone may not be fair, but still, may be he's too old now =S Retirement may be? And i couldn't believe that Arsenal scored 7 goals! 7!!! My m'sians friends here were over the moon! I watched Barcelona match on Espn. They should have been given penalty!

I'm still not talking to him... And It really, really,really irritates me when people who know about this "cold war" btw us PRETENDS not to know about it! It really pisses me off. I mean, you know we are not in good terms and his siblings are the middle men, so stop asking me to ask him or tell him stuffs directly! You KNOW, so STOP PRETENDING!!!! Stop pissing me off!!

It's HAILING!!!!
My first ever experience of hail! I'm so glad I was not outside at that moment. Oh well, how could i possibly be outside that late on a Sunday night? Anyway, I was so shocked to see it's hailing. It was noisy when it first hailed. I wondered why there was such a noise on my window. I looked out and there were ice! haha... Cool and scary to sum it up!

Just had my exam :S Not so good. I wasn't really prepared for it. Shouldn't have studied with Aaron... he talked a lot. But he talked to Viking mostly :P Poor him. Felt guilty for asking him to come to study together.

On Sunday, we had Halal Bihalal to celebrate Idul Fitri. There were nice food and I got a taste of American Football. Around 12 of us played football after lunch. It was rather fun, and my team won! haha... then, we were called back to clean up, but when we got back, the place was more or less cleaned. Felt guilty again, but what were we to do, we were young and energetic! Haha... Anyway, the internet connection was bad nowadays. It keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes.

Another thing to complain was that i hate the new concept for Pistol Pizza, the restaurant that i'm working in. The new assistant manager was trying to change the restaurant into an italiano restaurant in the evening... the problem is none of us (except her may be) is fully prepared for this new thing. Last night, we were mostly lost at what to do. Orders were missing, food were taking too long to be prepared and customers were waiting for their orders for a long time. I wanted to change Job! And i'm not the only one who's saying this. Yoshi and Hiro also wanted to quit. But resigning now would be irresponsible of me. Even now, they were still short-handed. Never mind if I resigned. *sigh* I'm so not looking forward to work tonight!

on the lighter now, Gerrard led England to victory. He should be the captain not John Terry! Ok, biasness on my side :P

Texas was.... bigger than oklahoma :P Everything is bigger in Texas as the saying goes... The trip was rather fun. And I managed to go to the cities that I wanted to though only for a brief stop.

Day 1:

departed at 8pm (typical indonesians) then numerous stops on the way "toilet" break (it was more like a cigarette break for the 3 smokers... ) Then we had lunch at some ulu food court. Expensive and bland chinese food. There after, we had to be troubled by hotel issues. We looked through the coupon and many didn't offer discounts on weekends. See.....when I suggested to book hotels on the internet, some people (my I-know-better twin cousins) said that it's cheaper if you can get coupons... we been there(dallas only) so many times, we know... blah blah blah.... We managed to get a cheap one (and for some reason I got a feeling that it won't be that good) but it turned out to be worse than I expected. We reached the place and it was located in a very ulu street. Very quiet and everywhere looked deserted and old... One of the guy was saying that he didn't want to lose his kidney! So we searched for another hotel and found one with a vacant room but it was expensive.

After a brief rest, we proceed to the famous RiverWalk... it was sooooo crowded with people. We decided to take the cruise around the river. It was nice at first, but i became sleepy after sometime :S And I was so hungry... after the cruise we went to pick a restaurant... we didn't know what to eat many were mexican food and no one wanted it for dinner so we ended up eating at a restaurant that sold western food. It was special to eat at the open restaurant, but I didn't really enjoy the stares of the passers-by. Yeah, the food was expensive too!

Day 2:

Shopping at San Marcos' Prime Outlet. It was a very big shopping complex where you can find almost all your favorite boutiques from Gap to Gucci to Armani... We were there for like 6 hours but my shopping appitete was still not full! Should have not taggedthe twins or let them tagged us. They didn't want to shop anymore cause they had spent enough, but they have no right to prevent others to shop!!!!

At night, we went to the Ripley's Haunted Adventure... I was scared even before we reached there.

Tommy A was trying to be funny with the "ghost". His face was scary! and I wonder how he could keep his eyes wide open without blinking for a long time!

The after, we went to see the records at Guinness World record museum next door. And across the road was The Alamo (below).

Day 3:

End of our Texas trip. We stopped at Austin for lunch... Got to see a part of UT (University of Texas)... i wish I was in UT not OSU! The campus was so vibrant and big!!!

Posing in front to the bus! Haha... Happy to set foot at Austin but wished we went to see the state capitol and more parts of Austin!

Below: The Old Red Museum in Dallas that I could only see from a far on the car :( The building was so nice....

We had dinner in Dallas at a Singaporean restaurant but the food was disappointing... Butter Prawn --> prawn with egg??? Kangkong with belacan and not spicy *sigh*

Yeah! Fall break is here!!!! Going to Texas tmr for 3 days. Finally, I am able to get out of stilly during the school break. The plan was soooo indecisive till last minute :S Hope we could have fun and most importantly be SAFE.

Indra sprained his ankle just now... Not sure if he can joined us. Hope he can, but had to see how his ankle is tomorrow morning... *sigh* after the break, i will be having 2 exams!!!

We watched "the way home" a korean movie (i watched it before on Ch. U ...hui jia) during religion class (it has something to do with taoism and confucianism). It was soo touching... The movie reminded me of my grandma and my parents... how as a child I weren't able to appreciate what they have done to me and easily threw my tantrum whenever I wanted, not thinking that I had made things difficult for them. I'm sorry >.<
