Aiyoh, first time in history wei. Was in Old Town Kopitiam in KL having lunch by meself. Guess I was having loadso f things in mind. I had Ice Lemon Tea and Nissin Noodles. Had to write in down on a piece of paper and hand in the order at the counter.

My food arrived and I took my time to eat. Once I was done, I wiped my mouth, packed my stuff and literally walked out of the restraunt like some silly feller.

I was walking towards the escalator and I heard this sound…eh…eh…bang…belum bayar…I looked back and I saw this kesian foreign lady chasing after me and i was so…so embarassed…kept on saying sorry until she returned my change. By the way, it was RM9.20!

Went for a good and thorough facial therapy today at My Solutions at The Curve, great deal package for only RM50.50 with complete stuff. Loved the head massaging part. Mom was suppose to join me together-gether but she had some errands to run so ended up me pergi alone.

Had a very good Voices meeting today in church. got loads of things nailled down for the year and had a good chat session with my beloved youths. I beleive it is gonna be a great year for all of us in Christ.

Had dinner with mommy in Bakerzine and we got this really awesome deal, whereby you buy one item and get another for free. So I ordered one Seafood Spaghetthi while mom got Penne in Pink for free for dinner. As for desert, I ordered Warm Chocolate of course and mom got her Chocolate Suffellete fpr free. It was completely indulging because CHOCOLATE MAKES ME HAPPY!  Da vanilla ice-cream was chilling while the chocolate desert was warm n hot. Lovely…

Mom decided to pop into Zara cause they had clearance sale and ended up I came out from the boutique with two really stylo and smart shirts. for some reason, I realize I tend to buy new clothes in the beginning of every year.

Da trip was awesome. Perfect way to start the year before going back to college. Needed a getaway badly just to clear my mind and have a fresh start. www.serendah.com > check da website out for pictures and details of da lovely yet hidden place. Living in the jungle was an experience alrite and it wasn’t as bad as you think. Da air is freah, da water is cool, da sound of insects and birds are harmonious…wah…it was bliss!

Da waterfall was so refreshing while the trip to Selangor Damp was spectacular. An entire valley flooded with water, it was so windy and quiet there. Visited Antaras a.k.a Kit Lee in Kampung Pertak and he was really nice to welcome us for tea and chit chat.

2007 was definitely an eventful year for me. I guess I can safely say I did make use of it and did rather meaningful stuff here and there. Turning 23 this year was definitely a highlight as I notice myself growing to be less spoilt and more mature. Learnt a lof of stuff in my final academic semester… Enough said!

Got this urge to join Enfinity Productions somewhere down the road…Thank you so much Vernon for the very exspensive tickets.

Nov 15 - This is the day I finally broke down and was all down to the core in my spirit and emotion. I let someone down who I really look up to and it hit me rite where it hurts most, my heart.

This is still a success story lar because it was so giler close to my exams!

I directed and edited n acted in my very own music video entitled Huang Hun (thankz ERI PENG), shot a good short-film with my team members entitled A Resort To Munchies where I was the cinematographer for the 1st time, acted and directed short monologues with Zalikha. It was tough but I’m very happy with all the result despite the stress. Thankz a lot Joe Yan and James Lee for your teachings and patience!

Well to sum it all up, I believe 2007 was a year of creation for me where i really put my creative abilities to the test. It is also a year of refining and a lot of growing up to do as there were some rough moments and lows that i had to deal with on my own. With the help and grace of God, is my testimony to say that God really did see me thru the year and I’m glad I could end 2007 with a BIG BIG SMILE and with an easy breath. Awesome…definitely awesome year!
