Well, I was planning to write a long post for this but due to my endless procrastination, I sorta lost the inspiration to do so since it was long time ago. Well, feels like its more than a month ago.
So, the event was on the 19th of November, Friday. I can still remember vividly that day was Bio group report submission due date. Well, the whole week itself was filled with many assignment submission and it didn’t feel like prom is nearing at all. Not to me, not to my friends. Even my dress, accessories and heels were all a last minute thing. Was too busy with course works.
The event was held in Park Royal. Before that, washed and blew my hair at a saloon Justin’s friend was working at.
Dressed in the short black flowing dress and a pair of silver strap heels, I walked out of the ladies and all I need then was make up to be fully presentable. No. I don’t know how to do it myself but thankfully, I have all my girlfriends to save my face. First was Cassandra, who helped me with the eyeliner. Then Leanne to help with the touch up. Then back to Cassandra with the eye shadow. Then a few more with I don’t remember who. Sorry I can’t remember you and it wasn’t entirely my fault because I was shouted at whenever I attempt to open my eyes or even try to peer through the little slit I forced open to see what was going on. Yeah they raised their voices at me :’( Nah but I won’t blame them, they just excited for me since they never seen me in makeup. :D
Everything was fine and fun. Awkward moment was when they opened the dance floor for couples and for everyone else. Scarcely a few went up and danced their heart out. Well, that was mainly because the song prepared by the DJ weren’t always prefect for the atmosphere. Thumbs down.
The fun parts were the photo taking sessions in between everything and the hangout session outside of the ballroom. :)
After the prom was some settling unfinished things then off to club at Sheraton for the after party in the heavy downpour. Scary. Never been in KL when it floods and my first time just had to be in the middle of the night in a small car. Darn afraid that the car will just fail on us. Reached there to find everyone hanging around the hotel lobby. So the after party was cancelled due to lousy planning. Its heading home after that.
Removed the makeup and took a warm shower before lying down on the sofa, awaiting text message from the gentleman who sent me home just to make sure he made it home safe. Crawled back to cuddle with my huggies under the nice warm sheet and fell deep into dreamland.
The End.
Highland Haven Retreat.

Imagine three families with the surname Lee, taking a trip up to Cameron Highlands. Imagine three cars, cruising down the highway in a perfect sequence of silver, black and white. Imagine a rather heavy meal in every subsequent three hours. :)
Saturday, 4th September was the day when we went up to Cameron Highlands. Oh yeah, this is a very delayed post. Hmm… so the two families I went with were all big people. They were like half giants to my family only because we appear minuscule standing alongside them, like dwarfs. Big people, big appetite, high metabolism rate. That explains the very frequent heavy meals throughout the trip. :P
We checked in at Ye Olde Smokehouse.
The authentic English Tudor style hotel was originally built in 1939. The entire building was surrounded by green grass, fountain and white steel benches, beautifully decorated by myriad species of colored flowering blossoms. The tea garden concept provides a much laid-back and tranquil ambience. Having sitting on the bench, sipping sips of English tea, enjoying the gentle warmth of the sun embracing your skin while cold breeze sweeps past your cheeks to counter the heat. Its sheers bliss. Really.
The interior design of the Smokehouse was stunning as well, completed with many interesting collections including horseshoe collection and wall hanging plates. I personally adore such collection and find them very intriguing and pretty.
English breakfast in the morning was very filling. It is inclusive in the price you pay for the stay there. Scones are considered rather popular in Cameron Highlands and in the traditional English breakfast, you will get to taste the usual English delicacies. They also serve tea with scones, cream and homemade strawberry jam.
So basically, its snapping pictures all the way for me alongside the two uncles who were also holding their DSLRs. Live tutor. Very helpful. :D
We stopped by the teahouse halfway up the mountain and halfway down the mountain, just like any other time. Snapped pictures of the breath-taking scenery. I adore the tea plantation. Very beautiful.
There is no beauty, no ugliness, just existence.
Love forever and always,

Posted in Holiday Rantings, Youth Exchange on 9:05 am by Evelyn Lee Pei NingAnd so, life goes on.
Only problem I had then was that I constantly allow my devious imagination to run wild. Relating the typical Japanese shed to the freakylicious Japanese ghost movie - Ju-On.
Yeap, I was living in a shed. An isolated building where my host family only came to for meals downstairs. It was small. I even had to clean all the thick layers of dust before settling in. Anyway, I'm drifting...
Staring at my YE blazer hanging five feet above from the tip of my toes, and the shadows of the pine trees swaying along with the rhythm of the winter breeze formed on the white surface of the cupboard, I was certain that I felt goosebumps growing out from the surface of my arms.
Its a wonder how time flies.
.
I never really liked holidays, especially long holidays. Never really look forward to one.
Reason being that
I won't be seeing people I miss seeing. You get what I mean?
I won't be seeing my friends as often as how I do during schooling days. I love my friends. They are gorgeous people.
I don't get to go for yum cha sessions with them friends during break time.
Being at home, not really a good thing. Yeap, there certainly are days where I can just lie around, be a couch potato in my baggy shirt, comfy shorts and hair in a messy bun and no one gives a damn about it. Those are the days I don't mind at all!
Being at home, feeling incredibly bored. Aimless, yet not allowed to leave the home. That sucks. Just had to sit in front of the computer for some virtual indulgence while waiting for my skin to grow on the chair I sit on.
Being at home, doing all the house chores. That sucks to the core. No further comments on that.
On a brighter and more positive perspective, I get to go out! Christmas holiday is coming soon too. I adore Christmas decorations. So beautiful. Bring smile to my face. :)
p.s.: Always keep your hopes up high, the best has yet to come. xx
Stay tuned for more posts! Toodleloo~

All About College…
Posted in ADP on 8:45 am by Evelyn Lee Pei NingHmm… close to 11 months since I entered college and of course, I have made some observations and drawn some pretty weird conclusions about college slash university.
1. College is such a small compound so it is not astonishing to meet at least two friends of yours when walking down the corridor or around the common area. As for me, I always bump into my A Levels and Foundation friends and of course, greet them as we brush pass each other. Yet, this frustrates my ADP friends as they think I know everyone in college and some even claimed that I am showing off how popular I am. I had a big facepalm moment. Oh yes.
2. When bumping into friends, I realized, small talks that we initiate always revolves around these few things.
“Are you having break right now” or “Do you have class right now”
“What time is your class” or “Do you still have class later”
“So what subjects you taking this semester”
“Are you having your exams now”
“What is your major” or “What course you taking”
Nevertheless, I love small talks! :)
3. College is all about glamour. Even the words they use to describe the daily basic things are fancier than average. Example?
Quiz = Test
Assignments = Homework
Lecturer = Teacher
Cafeteria = Canteen
Lecture Hall / Class = Classroom
Break = Recess
4. My friends, especially A Levels friends, are talking about university applications and completing personal statements. Heck I haven’t even started applying at all. I am panicking I guess? I don’t even know what I am supposed to do. *cries*
5. This semester is pretty hectic I would say. Biggest reason being that I have quiz every single week, which means more studying than usual. Pfftt I wish I could go back in time where I only study when there’s major exams around the corner. :(
6. I have two college friends who are very much similar to me. Not in fashion sense, but music. We would sing songs to complete our sentences or even start singing a random song together. I love hanging out with them cause we just love to SING! Besides,they are people I can afford to go crazy with. Gilbert, with all the impersonation of Agent Salt and him being my boss; Amanda, with all the cool and fancy fist pounds and the most random topic we talk about.
7. Oh college is where I pick up random tunes from people around me and get the songs stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Things get ugly especially when I have a quiz on that day:
question one: which of the following is a false statement of…
“you.make.me.feel.like.i’m.living.a.teenage.dream…”
*scratches head* *rereads question*
question one: which of the following… “feel.like.i’m.living.a.teenage.dream…”
*arghhh… rereads question*
Just so you know, I had a hard time finishing the paper. It was a struggle.
Lesson learnt: NEVER get a song stuck in your head before sitting for a quiz or exam. It will cause fatal consequences. Attempt at your own risk.
.
If you are thinking it only affects my exam, you guessing it wrongly. Even during class, the song can be pretty annoying.
Lecturer: Therefore, it is clear that when… “Snape, Snape, Severus Snape. Dumbledore!”
(tries to shrug it off…) *continues listening*
Lecturer: So it can be concluded that… “Ron, Ron, Ron Weasley! Hermoine, Hermoine…”
*bangs head at table*
In the end, I learnt nothing in class. Very good Pei Ning. Way to go!
Lesson Learnt: NEVER get a song stuck in your head before a lecture. It will cause fatal consequences. Attempt at your own risk.
8. Assignments due dates are closing in and I haven’t started on any yet! Kill me already.
9. Favorite hang out spot at college – Wisma HELP, level 9! :D
10. I don’t always have sufficient sleeping time ever since I enter college because everyone is a nocturnal! Everything comes alive at night.
*looks at the clock* 1am? Oh its okay. The night is still young… *continues fiddling with ze laptop*
People always think that the most painful thing is losing someone you love. The truth is… The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, forgetting that you are special too.
taa~ lovely.

Posted in Outings on 8:25 am by Evelyn Lee Pei NingAt one point, the marshmellows were brought out and many of us crowded around the pit. Love how the marshmellow will flow out and melt in your mouth after you bite deep into the crispy outer layer. *squeals* :D
Soon after, the card plus drinking game began with people getting drunk within split seconds; somebody like Woon Kheng. Some were just tipsy after a few shots.
That table was the most happening and noisy compared to the rest of the compound. After the game, Mayuri was sober, dancing and prancing around along with the beat of the music in her hyped up state; Phil was drunk and felt the necessity to convince the rest of us that he was not drunk just tipsy slash sober; Cassandra was very drunk till she knocked out a few times with some really crazy laughter in between each subconscious and unconscious state.
It is amazing how just Tiger beers, a bottle of Whisky, a bottle of lousy red wine and half a bottle of Tequila can create such madhouse. pffttt…
Waited till Cassandra’s heroic brother to come in his distorted “black horse” - proton wira to get the drunk princess before we all headed home about one in the morning.
