Sitting on the sofa in the living room. The fan was on. The television, showing "American Idol", was muted. I was alone, downstairs. Upstairs, everyone were fast asleep, probably already half way through their dreams. In my hand, was a red covered book. A novel. A thriller. It was about a man getting a heart transplant, and a year later, the donor came back for the heart.

It was quiet in the middle of the night. Way past midnight to be precise. It was already fifteen minutes past two in the morning. I was just waiting for this week's results for "American Idol". It was "Idol Gives Back". Many celebrities including Black Eyed Peas, Elton John, Carrie Underwood and a few more guests that were on the show but I'd paid no attention. The results show was dragged on for two and a half hours instead of the usual one hour. I just sat there reading the novel waiting for the results to be revealed by Ryan Seacrest.

Finally, the results show ended. Sad thing was Tim Urban had to go home. Sadder thing was they didn't even let him sing a song before he go home! Maybe they did, but it wasn't shown on television. To make it clear, no, I'm not a fan of Tim Urban. But to think from his point of view, if they really didn't let him sing a song before he goes, that's really kind of sad. He's going home anyway, just let him sing!

At last, I could close the book and head upstairs to my computer. Sitting alone in the living room reading a thriller really wasn't a good idea. Or maybe it's the author that should be praised for, making it not a good idea, reading his book middle of the night alone in the living room, for someone so chicken-hearted like me. Good job, well done.

The next morning was cozy enough for me to still snuggle under my blanket. I love my bed. I hate the alarm clock. I love my handphone, but it forced me to get up and read the message I just received. It was my buddy's birthday. We planned, actually she planned, to hang out and go bowling in the afternoon since I was not able to join dinner with her and my other friends later at night.

I went to her house, with an empty stomach, waiting for someone to fetch us to our destination. Once we reached, I was looking for FOOD. And this was what I had for brunch, Cone Pizza.

yummy~~~ (feeling hungry again @@)

I love food. I love cheese. I love pizza. And this brunch was delicious. The taste of tuna, the smell of garlic, the layer of cheese, the baked cone, and at the right time. I was starving. (haha!)

Afterthat we went bowling! For so many years, I've only played bowling once. Once that I couldn't even recall any memory of it. All I remembered was it happened when I was just a few years old. To think of that now, I think I could barely hold the bowling ball at that age.

yes i know....but what do you expect from a first-time player~??

Had a fun time bowling. It's good to see that a close friend smiling and laughing on their birthday. Even having to wake up when you're really reluctant to in the morning, it feels like it's all worth it when they are really having a HAPPY birthday.

Before I start blogging about how I started my holidays, let me just assure you that I am not praising myself.

Holidays started on Saturday, literally. But to make it sound longer, most students, or maybe just I, like to start the counting from the minute our Creative Communications and Portfolio Development class dismissed on Friday. Hah. Not really a useful trick. But I actually started working on my assignments since Friday night! To be honest, I have never been this hardworking before, though I am not THAT hardworking as a cow, because cow can sometimes be lazy too! *grin*

Worked on this, worked on that. It was a challenge. And the day continued, I worked on my assignments during the weekends too. Until today, I finally could not continue working on it, I decided to hang out with my friends. We then decided to watch a local movie called "Ice Kacang Puppy Love".

"Ice Kacang Puppy Love" tells about a shame boy nicknamed Botak, falling in love with a brave girl nicknamed Da Jia Yu, which means fighting fish. Along with other little childrens, they grew up together in a small town. Until they grew up as teenagers, they all had their own problems and met obstacles.

In my opinion, the movie was nice, the storyline was touching, the script was entertaining, and the characters were fine. The only thing I would hate about the movie is the ending. Okay, okay. I'll keep my mouth shut just in case any of you don't want me to spoil everything before you watch the movie. Overall, worth watching, but don't complain about the ending. It's a local movie anyway, so support a little bit!

Back to the day I ditched assignments. After movie, we met our ex-schoolmate which was once also an ex-classmate. We then had lunch together. It was a fun time spending the afternoon with old buddies talking about their recent activities, joking, laughing and concentrating more on the conversation than the teppanyaki in front of us.

Hooray! The day hasn't end. We continued the "small gathering" at some shop nearby which I couldn't recall it's name. (Oops.) Dessert!!! It was the first time I went to this shop and tried this dessert. It wasn't really unforgetable but I remember it tasted nice.

yeap. this is the one. and i still can't remember it's name. hehe.

Finally, it was close to dinner time and we headed home. Sad. This is what happens when you graduate from high school. In high school, you meet your friends everyday, see most of them every week, hang out after school with them not even once in months. After graduating from high school, you miss your friends, you don't get to see them every week, you see them once only in months. I miss my high school friends!! I really miss them a lot!! I miss them so so much!! But I know I'll have to get over it sometime... *sigh*

Another thing that I've done in these couple of days is this.

p.s. No, don't get me wrong, i didn't make this can lid. ==

Yes, it's the lid from a Milo candrink. I thought it was so special! A can lid with the word "Milo"! I was so excited when I first saw it. I bought the Milo candrink on the spot. It must have been a long time since can lids have the names of the drink on it, according to the reaction my friend gave me yesterday when she found out I only knew about this last week. She was shocked, literally. (HAHAHA!!) So after I finished the drink, I pulled out the lid, which is actually one of my habits after finishing a candrink. I decided to add something to it so that I can bring it everywhere, sort of, with me. And this is what came up!

Tadaa~! Yea i know....it might look weird....Aaargh, just don't care about the rest, the main thing is --- Milo!

I love Milo. I don't know why. I just love it. Especially hot ones. Cold ones are nice too, but it lacks the scent of Milo. The cup of Milo I love the most is the one my dad used to make every morning for my breakfast when I was in primary school. Even though every cup of Milo looks like they taste the same, but with my experience, the answer is no, every cup of Milo tastes different.

It's Wednesday and I'm already starting to countdown my holidays. Sad case. No point grumbling about holidays and assingments anyway. Back to work!
