Look Out Point

It was a scorching hot day and the sun appeared like a huge ball of fire. The unbearable heat sucked up the moisture from the air and the air became still and dry. And my room had turned into a furnace. Though, the fan was switched on to its full speed, it did not clear away the hot air in my room. Instead, the lingering heat had made me so tardy and it appeared trying to suffocate me.

Fortunately, I was asked,out to Look Out Point to celebrate my friend, S.Lye birthday. I had managed to wriggle myself out of this hot situation before the stagnant hot air able to drown me! Look Out Point is about 40 minutes away from University of Malaya and it is located at the outskirts of KL city. It is a tranquil place high above 300meter sea level where visitors come here to indulge themselves with the night scenery of Kuala Lumpur and be mesmerized by the sparkling orange light emitted by thousand of households and the hustle-bustle of the city. Besides that, it is a perfect spot for couples to come dating and friends to celebrate birthday or let their hair down after tackling their onerous tasks for whole day.

There were not so many people when we arrived there since according to their website, Look Out Point attracts large number of visitors during weekends or public holidays. The place was not as cool as I imagined when I desperately yearning stepping out of my room.There is a flight of stairs to walk up before you reach summit where various restaurants are open to serve the visitors. There are a few (should be 4) restaurants available namely, Look Out Point Restaurant, Haven Restaurant, Gasoline and Panaroma Restaurant and we chose the latter to dine in. Panaroma Restaurant is the highest amongst the other 3 restaurants. There is even a tower like structure built to cater the customers who prefer enjoying their meals and scenery at a higher leval. Since, I am going to attend my college annual "prom night"and it is dire for me to keep slim, but, eventually I was overpowered by my voracious appetite and ordered a crispy chicken chop. It was an-OK chop, but the price certainly was reasonable(RM14.90) considering the panorama you can view at while gorging yourself on the food.

Since, we already celebrated once for S.Lye before coming he

re, so this trip was just an excuse for us to come to Look Out Point. We did not prepare any presents or birthday cake for him, just sang a birthday song for him before the day ended. Before we left at midnight, the weather had turned cooler. We could feel tinges of refreshing breeze caressing our cheeks, which was inexplicably pleasant! Later, we went to retrieve our car (the parking fee was just merely RM2)and bounded our journey back to UM.

Enjoying the breeze or enjoying people taking photo for me?

Sorta a sudden decision to go back Penang

Yes, I am back to Penang with my hometown friends. Though he already told me that he was coming back last week and asked if i wanted to join him, then at that time I just could not make my decision since I have keyboard lesson on Thursday night and occasional tutorial class on Friday morning.

So, after I got the message from my keyboard teacher that he had to cancel yesterday night class (because he still hasnt got the permit yet.WTF la, please, we already pay you, can't you just use those money to rent a room?? I suspected that he did not rent the room at all for my last level of lesson). After that, my mind was started to bristle with million of thoughts, I was in a VERY CRUEL LECTURER class, and I just could not find myself to stay focus on the lecture. Thoughts like "Should I go back later?" "Since my mom only will be back from Thailand tonight, would it be a 'waste' to go home?" "I have to skip my tomorrow tutorial class?"...etc...So to be safe, I texted my tutor and got the big good news that there would not be tutorial class. This freaking news made me freakingly lost my focus more. So, I quickly sms my friend YX to tell him I finally made up my mind to go back with him and he told me we would depart on 5.30pm. Since, my lecturer was until 5pm and considering the 15minutes journey I had to walk from my faculty back to my hostel, that meant I only left with 15 minutes to pack!

After I reached my room, I started to expeditiously cram in some usual stuff you would pack when you are travelling into my luggage bag. My roomate was quite surprised to see me going back (I am the 1 that rarely go back home amongst the 3 of us). And what made him more astounded was, I would go home right away. The situation was like this...

#I am hurriedly packing up, then

Roomate: " You are going back home ar"

Me: " Yes"

This got a bit surprise him la. Later I received my friend call that he already waiting me downstair, so I quicken up my packing, then my roomate asked me another question.

Roomate: " Going back now ar?"

Me: "yes"

And then he gave me an astonished look. I think because the whole process from me walking into my room and out again was only within 10minutes, and he just can't believe how a person would go home/travelling without any early planning. ##

And en route for home, I found this (see the picture below) was in my pocket.. Wow, I was quite amazed by myself how would i react when I was not completely focus.

Padlock to lock my locker

This picture was taken because I had the sudden urge to see how would I look like with my hair tied up and showing my bare forehead (ahai said my forehead is so high enough that people can play a mahjong game on it!).

And found an online free application (stumble across it visiting someone's blog) that you can download to make your picture goes poladroid feel. Click here to link to their page and download this cool application!

A few funny/ embarrassing/ irritating signs

When I first time found out this notice (it is pasted above the toilet bowl) I was like "omg, this is so funny and embarrassing, what if the girl that comes to use guy toilet and sees this (the girls don't use their toilet because it is always monopolized by someone else, so they have to use ours instead wasting their time waiting for the monster inside the lady washroom to come out)

This is really irritating when you need to withdraw your money. Come across this umpteen times recently. WTF
