Lala-ness
I'm upset.

Aimy says i'm always lala.
Hmph.
Woe is me.

=D
Today is a day that shall be written down in the history books alongside the day when a tsunami swept over the Malaysian political arena. However this historic day has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. It has to do with teeth. My teeth to be exact.
I am now officially braces free! =D =D =D =D =D
Yes, i will repeat just for the message to sink in.
I.
AM.
BRACES.
FREE.
I can now smile and flash my nice straight teeth everywhere i go. =D I can now eat chewing gum. (note that i have not been eating gum for 4 years! That was the one and only rule i stuck to.) I can smoothly run my tongue over my teeth without being obstructed by metal thingies. I will no longer have annoying pieces of food stuck in between the metal pieces when i eat. I will be able to brush my teeth with a normal toothbrush. In other words, i am liberated! Haha.
The removal of braces was done quite quickly actually. Amazingly it's much simpler than putting it on. Dr Looi just cut the wires and then proceeded to yank the whole thing out. Do twice for the upper lip and lower lip, then Ta-da, it's hello teeth, goodbye braces! It's the cleaning up (removing the cement and polishing) that took longer.
Though my mouth does feel emptier without the metal pieces that i was so used to.
I managed to dig up a photo from a few years back of me when i first started wearing braces. Way back in form 2, me thinks.
Here, look :
I am the queen of posing. Not.

You can see clearly how bad my teeth were back then

Right, that was before. Now this is after :
See?? No more metal. =D

Will be getting my retainer on wednesday, which also happens to be the date of chemistry lab trials. !!! Hope i don't mess anything up and my limewater MUST turn cloudy!
ps-my limewater test for carbon dioxide never worked till last week. I was ecstatic. XD
This font size function on blogger is cacat-ed. It shows normal when in composing mode but comes out smaller. Eh, i want it to be normal sized la.
To quote a certain someone, this is "Stooooopid".

I did it.
I DID IT!!!!!!!
What did i do, you ask?
Nope, i didn't complete all my Maths tutorial. Yet.
Nope, i didn't accomplish any studying throughout the weekend.
But instead, I. WENT. DRIVING.
Haha..I know, 'big deal'.
For those of you who have been driving since like months and months ago, it might be of no importance but you see, i have not sat in the driver's seat since i last passed my driving exam. Which was sometime back in December 2007. I don't drive cause i don't own a car an also cause my mum only allows me in her Vios as a passenger. Not more than that. I think she fears that i might ram her car into stuff. Hahaha..So you see, the only car i've ever driven is the kancil and the only occasion i got to drive was during practices and the exam. I'm not sure where that puts me, in terms of readiness to drive in real life.
Anyway, yesterday evening, my super nice brother in law who pities me took me driving around the Batu Maung area. =) I got to drive his Ford Focus. Considerably big car. For someone who has not touched the steering wheel in 3 months, the whole drive went alright. I mean i didn't hit any cars or inanimate objects right? =P Though i'm not sure what my instructor of the day thinks.
I must've been living in the Stone Age in terms of car..interior gadgets or whatever you call them. Yesterday, i was looking for the lever to move the car seat forwards but i didn't find it. Who knew the car was so canggih, everything is controlled just by tiny flicks of your hand. XD I was ooh-ing and aah-ing over lame stuff like electronically controlled switches for the side mirrors and car seat. I don't usually sit in ho-liau expensive cars like BMW or Audi that are mostly controlled by electronic devices ok.
Heheh.
So after i drove around Batu Maung, we decided to continue all the way to Balik Pulau since this born and bred in Penang girl has not been there before. XD The drive there was interesting..well,only until a certain point. The twisty, windy and narrow hill road gets boring after a while..It's not much fun looking at trees and more trees. Anyway, we got all the way to the heart of Balik Pulau which is the so called town centre to buy some laksa but alas, the laksa shops were all closed. Headed for home after that little journey.
(i think this is getting very long..you can stop if you want)
And then dinner was Japanese food. at Shin Ju Tei. Wheeeeeee! Did i mention i love salmon? No? Well I do. Oh oh, lunch was at Pasta Mania. For okay food and self service, it was a pretty expensive place to dine at.
Yes, i was supposed to talk about my KL food escapades but was too caught up with F1 fever that i forgot.
Do try eating Tony Roma's when in KL. The atmosphere is almost like TGIF but one thing Tony Roma's has that TGIF doesn't is very good service. The staff are super quick and efficient, unlike the more laid back people in Penang. XD no offense meant. The food was great, although i can't remember the name of the dish now. It was de-boned ribs topped with some sauce(which i can't remember also) with chips and salad.
Anyway, as i was saying about the service, these people seem to possess mind reading abilities (at least the guy who served us seemed to) or maybe they were just being very observant. As soon as we were done with food, he instantly came to clear the table. Reappeared again with toothpicks and sweets. Note here that my bro in law was just about to ask our waiter for some toothpicks. Right after that, he emerged with pre-packed hot towels. One by one, he tore open the packets and handed the towels to us. It actually caught all 5 of us byu surprise. Never in all my dining experiences have i come across such service. Hahahaha.
And there was a dim sum morning at a random dim sum shop in...Puchong, i think. For 3 plates of chee cheong fun, 4 bowls of broth and an assortment of dim sum dishes, the total amounted to only RM 45++. So one person actually pays only RM 9++. Now where can you get such reasonably priced dim sum in Penang? The food was quite good too. Though i kinda disliked the jasmine tea. The flowery smell was a bit too much.
In Berjaya Times Square(the place where the Ferrari cap was purchased), there was this food outlet called Gasoline. The place has this prehistoric theme but there was a sphinx statue somewhere, if i remember correctly. They partition the place into small (read : cramped) cubicles enclosed by gauze curtains all the while maintaining the theme. Also, you sit on cushions, like the Japanese do. They claim to serve more than 300 types of dishes ranging from local, western, japanese, portuguese and i can't remember the rest. Though it seems the shop is mostly frequented by teenagers and students. There were a fair share of err..lala people. Food was okay but i got cramps after sitting in the small cubicles.
Fine fine, i'll stop yakking now.

More pictures!
This time taken with an SLR camera. enjoy!
BMW-Sauber. Not sure who's driving.
Massa! Sad, he didn't drive well without TC.
Kimi in action
I'm not a fan of Renault but it is a nice shot
Whooooo! Expensive car
SL 500. *drools*
Uh.
Freak Magnet? Hhaha.

Uh.
Freak Magnet? Hhaha.Trip to Sepang
Well! Before i begin, lets take a look at what i'm SUPPOSED to be doing.
1. Moral folio
2. Maths tutorial
3. Mechanics tutorial
4. More maths tutorial
5. Studying!!
Obviously, going online has top priority. Eheheh. =P
I've been wanting to update about the trip down to Sepang ever since i came back on Sunday but didn't manage to find time until today.
So, went to KL on Thursday morning itself and stayed until Sunday's race was over. By doing so, i skipped Friday classes namely Mechanics, Maths and Chemistry. Wheeeee! I know Adelene missed my presence. And Kiran wanted to scold me for writing nonsense on her book. Again. XD Ask her to show the statistics notebook to you.
Right, about Sepang.
My ticket was the RM 200 one for a hillside shaded free seating spot (but if you buy 4 tickets, you get a rebate and pay only RM 150). The cheapest ticket, RM 100 is also a hillside place but it has no shade. Yeah, RM 100 extra just for shade.
The view from where i sat
Continuation of previous pictureYou see, i don't own an SLR camera so the normal camera can't fit the entire view into one frame. The long stretch of white pointy looking thing is -as you can probably guess- the grandstand. That's only the back part of the grandstand. The opposite side would be the facing the Start-Finish line. I read somewhere that the designer of this circuit designed the white pointy roof to resemble a hibiscus flower..Um, you be the judge.
I went for all 3 days, free practice on Friday, Qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday. Eh, not crazy ok..Must utilise the ticket to the fullest ma. Even parking itself costs Rm 50. I know, you're probably thinking "wah, crazy! So cut throat." But then, you'd have to walk reaaaaallllly -and i mean REAAAAALLLLLY- far to get into the circuit cause without the RM 50 parking sticker, they won't let you park in the compound.

Amount of people who turned up on Friday
As you can see from the picture above, not many people attend the Friday free practice sessions.
It's a plus for photography aficionados like my sponsor of this trip. =P
That's him in redThey get to take gazillion shots of the cars without people blocking their way. And, some photographers -pro or otherwise- get to show of their humongous lenses. Which looks pretty weird on the camera when the lens is like 5 times the size of the camera. Forgot to take a picture of one dude with telescope-like lens, unfortunately.
When they say Sepang Circuit is very grand and super ho liau, there might have been a tad bit of exaggeration.
The signboard at the entrance
The other signboard
The entrance. Note the Kimi supporters
When you think of 'mall area', the thought that comes to mind is shopping haven with multiple shops. Alas, this is what the mall area looks like.
The mall area is nothing but an enclosed area with 5 to 10 booths selling similar F1 merchandise. Mostly Ferrari merchandise to, i must add. And the merchandise don't come cheap. A cap costs RM 150 and a the price of a shirt ranges from RM 150 to RM 220. Mostly cater to the foreigners only la..
(i got my Ferrari cap at only RM 15. Teehee =P)
A RM 15 and a RM 6.90 Ferrari cap.Can buy me original one if anyone got money. XD
Why do they not showcase a Ferrari???
Mercedez-Benz
Close up. Why do they not put a poster of Kimi and Massa??
Luxury cars on display
And the toilets are nothing to be proud of. Typical Malaysian hallamark. Hhaha.

The CL 500
This is the model of the Safety Car used during the race
Also, they don't allow you to bring in your own food and drinks. They 'spot-check' your bags and toss out your bottled water and make you eat your food outside the entrance. So of course people get hungry during the race and are expected to buy from the stalls. The stalls cut will hike up the price as per usual. I only know one bottle of mineral water is priced at RM 5. Didn't want to bother finding out about the prices of other drinks and snacks sold. Just so you know, the parking areas are on oil palm plantation grounds. RM 50 parking lot. Expensive expensive.

Notice the fence and barricades which seperates us from the cars. Being so far and all, you can't really tell which driver is in the car unless you take note of the helmet. That can be quite a challenge unless the helmet is yellow like Massa's and Lewis's. And being so far, can't take close up shots of the F1 cars with a normal camera.
It's Massa. I think.
Still, the sound of the engines are really awesome. Quite loud but tolerable la..Though i had on ear muffler thingies cause BAR Honda's engines were annoyingly louder than everybody else's. And BMW-Sauber engines sound like they were going to explode every time they change gears round the corner. Aiya, Ferrari engines are the smoothest and the bestest best ones la. XD
Here's a pretty cacat video of Ferrari during Qualifying. I think.

Anyway, i got to see the cars live! more importantly, i got to see Kimi and Massa LIVE!!!!!! I was this close -ok, fine..not THAT close- to the drivers during the Drivers' Parade on Sunday. Though i didn't manage to take their pictures during the parade. Too many people moving about blocking the view. Everyone moved down nearer to the tracks when the Drivers' Parade was about to start.
Everybody loves Kimi
Compare number of spectators on Friday to Sunday's full house.Note the red flag flying and the red spots in the background.
It was very fun to people watch on Race Day while waiting for the race to start. Sure, there were other events to fill in the time like Formula BMW Series, GP2 Asia and some mini races as such but people watching was much more entertaining..besides swatting spiders and insects of course (the grass is choked full with annoying little insects). =D The Caucasians are an interesting lot, there were more avid photographers with gargantuan lens, and lots of die-hard fans, especially for Ferrari. =) *warning : photos of topless guys ahead
The Wear-Hipster-Pants-To-Show-Undies style
The smoker gang
The 'gaya' look
Start 'em young
The Massa camp
The Kimi camp
This little boy can do a superb imitation of F1 cars
Nekkid guy
Whoops. Wrong photo. XD
More nekkid guys!
Sleeping guys guy and a lady
Nekkid guys with colours of Italian flag on hair
Told you there were a lot of interesting people walking around..those with pot bellies, man boobs, underwear baring, scantily dressed...etc.
Oh yes, i wore 3 red items on Race Day. A red shirt, red Ferrari cap and my red socks as shown above. XD Another video of Ferrari below. Try listening to the sound, though not as good as the original one.

Last note : I had and still having rashes now, a little token of appreciation from the little bugs in Sepang.

Update for the week
Breaking news :
I've officially dropped Further Maths. Well, not really official since i have yet to obtain my signed form from Dr Teoh and submit it to the finance department..ANYWAY, I will not be going for Further Maths classes anymore. I'm not sure if i'll regret this decision in the long run -hopefully i won't- but for now, i'm glad for the extra free hours for studying. Yeah, i'm going to miss feeling the Furter Maths euphoria. Haha..
(Niresh, don't rub it in)
Discoveries :
I am talentless.
Can't whistle,
can't do my 'rrrrrrrr's with my tongue,
can't do the lip-smacking sound thing,
can't waggle eyebrows,
can't waggle my ears,
can't touch type.
However, i CAN roll my tongue.
Hahaha..
Bit of interesting info :
Today, Rubhini just named me her fashion icon in college. *laughs* i'm flattered. XD XD
THe first thought that came to mind was that of Twiggy, from ANTM. Hahahaha.
Fashion icon, Twiggy
Upcoming test :
Totally clueless on what to study for Moral test tomorrow. Don't know to what extent do i need to study the teori-teori, nilai-nilai and all that cheeeem philosophical things. Worst part is, it's all in bm and the sentences can be so long that i forget the first part of the sentence. Just think SPM karangan style. Also, the sentences sometimes contradict each other...Which is why i get confused halfway through reading and then lose focus.
Weekend plans :
Will be away from Thursday till Sunday. F1 Grand Prix beckons. =D (no mechanics, maths and chemistry! Joy!) I'm planning to wear at least one red item. Teehee.
Yeah, i know what this Friday is. Saturday and Sunday too. Which is why i'm kinda upset that these events fall on the same week that i won't be around...
Ok ok, going to study Moral. Or at least try to.
