Colorgenics again

so accurate...


Utmost in your mind is success. You are constantly seeking stimulation and a life full of experience. You are trying to 'grow' and above all you need to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt. You are an enthusiastic individual, full of life with the desire to live intensely. You like contact with others and are enthusiastic by nature. You are receptive to anything new, modern or intriguing. Your interests are many and you are likely to expand your fields of activities. You are optimistic about the future and you deserve every success because deep down you are a 'winner'.

You need an atmosphere of peace and quiet and you would like to share a bond of understanding with the 'right person' - you have the belief that with the right person, your stress and anxiety could be minimised.

You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.


yadayada, kind of like reading old news about myself

Malaysia - ALWAYS HOME

It has been so awesome, it is unbelievable.
I find it hard to believe that I managed to say goodbye to all of this. I did not shed a tear in the airport, nor in the flight. But believe me, I missed this. I am still a lazy blogger, but it is about time I updated this, I quote Lester "mummified blog".

I was greeted with a great welcome at the airport. Mom, 2 brothers, good ol' cousin and his sweet girlfriend came with hastily drawn posters with "WELCOME BACK SARA" on it. The words were written using highlighters, which made me shake my so called artisitic head. But, it did its job. It made my heart warm.

We went to a mamak (woot, missed it so much) immediately after the airport at 12 am in the morning. Cute picture, we were supposed to look like we are about to devour a roti tisu that is a table long or in other words about Brenda's height (haha). Yum

The next day, I went on this crazy shopping trip with Brenda. I was giddy when everything seemed so cheap to me now. I shopped as if I was ravenous for clothes. Suppressed desires for 10 months was let loose to attack all shops. I exaggerate, but you get the picture. Spent all last year's accumulated ang pao money, and was immediately poor after. But I dont care, I was happy and content. Wait scratch that, I am still itching for more, but I am practicing self control now since I feel guilty over my recent expenditures.

After that, I was whisked off to India for 11 days. Before that, I actually missed a plane flight cuz my mom did not know we needed a VISA to get into India. Funny now, but not then. It was just my mom and me on a budget backpackers trip. Budget rooms with cold showers, trains that sometimes stank and had no air con but the trip was AWESOME. The people were so friendly, and were all eager to take photos with us. They were always helpful and welcoming. And we visited some great places as well. The focus was on South India, we traveled from Trivandum (where we landed) to Kenyakumari, Kovalum, Allepey, Oothi, Coimbatore, Mysore, Bangalore and lastly Kochin (where we departed). It was alot of travelling in a short time, but we saw alot and it really felt like the real experience and not some highly commercialised tour.


Me posing infront of the Mysore Maharaja palace. It was absolutely beautiful. totally trumps whatever European, Malaysian and Chinese palaces I have seen. Too bad we were not allowed to take photos inside. The punjabi shirt I am wearing is tailored in India. It was completed in 2 hours and tailoring cost is only 100 rupees!!!! Thats like approximately RM10 only ok @.@ .


This picture depicts one of my favourite part of the trip - backwater canoeing in Allepey (which is Venice like in a kampung way). So beautiful. The trees and water, orange sun when it was going to set in the clear blue sky, the Indians going about their own way washing their clothes and chatting as we passed by made me feel like I was watching TV, only more surreal. Absolutely lovely experience. In this picture we stopped by paddy fields to take a walk, while posing for the camera of course. Love my scarf, it is pure indian silk. It looks good in pictures, especially in the wind as you can very well see.

It was good to be back in Malaysia again after India tho. I felt a little sad having to go to India so fast when I did not have enough of Malaysia yet. I and Brenda joined True Fitness. And we have been going to all kinds of classes: Fusion, Bollywood, MTV jam, Dance Mania and Revolution etc. So much fun. I feel fit and my tummy is gone! whoopa-dee-doo. We also joined a dance studio where I am taking Zouk and Bacchata classes. Mexican (wait is it Brazilian) partners dances which are so sexy. lawls.

I had a sleepover at my house with all the girls over - Limay, Brenda, Su Ping and Karen. Bough a bottle of Vodka and a couple of other mixers. Sat on a field opposite my house on mats, lighted candles and switch on music. We played a couple a drinking games which Brenda ended up keep having to drink untill I got pissed cuz I think she was finishing our precious store of alchohol. We drank till we were high, and had loads of fun. I now consider it a highlight in my album of fun memories.

LESTER'S Bday next. Karaoke in Red Box and MOS next. So fun, brenda and I actually danced on the box. Cool eh, I always wanted to do that.


My mom dragged me to her annual Prudential conference in Genting. Booked a night there. Had dinner with her colleagues who were all so nice and friendly. They actually gave us free tickets for a concert show. But that would mean we would have to stay another night. Mum said we only booked the hotel for one night, and they immediately started calling and got us a free night cuz some guy was leaving early and gave us the room to use. Cool eh

The concert turned out to be really good. At first I was not so eager. Who is Anita Sarawak that everyone is talking about? and there is this very famous chinese singer as well, but I dont listen to Chinese songs, so I did not know who the guy was. In the concert itself, I asked a chinese guy infront of me who the singer was. He gave me an incredulous look and said "Zhang Zhi Chen!" and I was like: "Oh, hahah, I knew that. Just confirming". But you know the truth. I knew his songs tho, cuz it plays alot on the radio. I dont know his English name still. -.-

Mummy's birthday. I and Bro got her a portable speaker that can play SD cards and thumbdrives, and of course any other music device. See in picture below, we were posing with red eggs and pressie at 1am 15th Jan 2010.


Vanesse's birthday (sister in law) is on a day later. We had a dinner in Vincenzo, Bangsar and used up a RM200 voucher my mom had. The food was only not bad, but the environment was nice. Of course, photos is a must. Check out the jelly cake, the only time I had seen one other than this is Su Ping's birthday 2008.


Mom had a birthday dinner in house with Bollywood friends, I did not put up pictures for it. lazy... It was nice. All in all, mom had 3 cakes. NICE, that more than me. Sob, lols.


Most recent of all, I went out with Lester, George, Guo Yaw and Brenda to Sungkai, Hot Springs that is 2 hours drive away from home. It was soooooo fun. And our skin was silky smooth like Lester described it would be. He also said thats because all the dead skin is gone and is floating around in the hot spring we were in. NICE LESTER. George had a minor accident when we were just 5 MINUTES in the pool. lols, we were so afraid that stitches were necessary, he was bleeding the whole day! The padding kept reddening, which worried us. So took him to see a doctor, and everything was fixed in a jiffy.



I cannot be bothered to post most of the photos. But, if you are interested check out Facebook. I have been a good girl, and updating everything quite religously.

There is more stuff of course, just cant think of everything now. Ciao, and hope your summer break/hols was as fun
