Hello, hello. Sophia here (maybe not most of the time, but sometimes I am) so I don't really update a lot. Sorry. Aspiring to be a woman who is CAPTIVATING (read the book!-is currently on my top favs!) and a student which can answer at least a few questions on her test correctly (I'm no nerd-I just like gettin' good grades). I like cold showers on hot days and hot showers on cold days, and being indoors when its (very) hot and being ourdoors after a heavy downpoor. Ps, I may not be the prettiest girl on earth, but I beautiful cos I have Jesus in me. :)
The King is entralled by your beauty, Psalms 45:11

Its the new year ppl! Hope you're having/going to have a great day of collecting those red packets! For some reason, my 'new post' spot does not allow me to colourise my letters, so it'll be mostly black and white from now on. :(

First off, reunion dinner. Wa liao. Fastes 9 course dinner I've ever had. O.O No exegeration there. I mean, we were given a time slot and all. And some dishes came together, which DOES NOT happen when its a course dinner. Ish. Didn't have time to fully enjoy the foood la. Booo.. Here's what we had
1. Yee Sang
2. Shark Fin soup
3. Roast piglet
4. Some sort of 4 seasons, I guess
5. Mushrooms, and abalone and brocolli and tau fu-like stuff in brown sauce
6. Fried rice
7. Steamed fish
8. Peanut mochi
9. Tong Sui

Wa liao. Oh! And I finnaly saw my little nephew, *proud* Daniel! Hahaha. He's gonna break hearts one day, I know it! Hehehe. Because of the time constraint, we finished eating at like 7.00pm I think. So my mum, sis, and I went shopping at lot 10, Isetan! Hahaha. My dad dropped us off after the dinner and went back with my bro (later we found out that they went out too-to cold storage, sneakyyy)

Anyhow... I managed to buy a dress!! *squels* Its a soda, and more importantly, it was 70% off! Woot! Totally last minute shopping. The announcers were practically shoo-ing us out!. hahaha XD

Announcer: We are closing at 8.00pm, due to the Chinese New Year celebrations. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank You *enter elavator music*

Sophia: I wonder which anklet looks better.... hmmmmm

Salesperson: *silent*

Mom: The red looks good. Now get the dress and we're off.

------after buying-------

Salespeople: Thank you, Happy Chinese New Year! Good night! (1st time I received so much attention from the staff wei! Like, almost everyone was greeting us on the way out)

Then when it was time to go back, we had to take a taxi, and aiyyooo, got people want to ketuk us la. RM 35 to go back to JINJANG. Wa liao. It only takes about like RM 10++ la. Ish, Some people arr. So we jalan jalan some more until we met a few others who also said the same thing,and finally we managed to find a cab that was bermeter punya. Hehehe. And at first I was kinda scared, cos I find men with beards a lil scary, but the guy was actually really friendly. *an EYE-OPENER* He used to be a lorry driver, but as he said; "tukar occupation sikit, tak kuat lagi" haha. Something along those lines la.

So that was my CNY eve. More eventful than I thought it would be. Oh. And I couldn't hear any fire-crackers. Guess I was in pretty deep sleep. *yawns*
Ciao!

My age group has a limit of 1200-1500 words only. Macam mana? ish ish. Then there's that article to finish up, too. For the school mag. And the cover. Whoopssss.. almost missed that. And of course catching up with my pieces, which are like, a hundred kilometres away from me now, so I gotta hurry. huff huff T^T
Oh. And studies. Which are pretty far away too. So that's more catching up. Huff Puff. (All this physical exercise is bad for my health, really) *smiles coyly* On a different (and happier note) I got a new jacket! for RM 20 from chic avenue, so I have no idea how long it'll last, but its green and pretty I like it! *gleee* :3 went shopping yesterday with che che in hopes of finding CNY clothes tapi takda. :( Well, at least I have the jacket. Yay~
