[UPDATE]
Did I mention the USB hub is going to make me a hit with the girls in uni? Cos it's damn cute! HAHA. I just took it out of the box. Shall take pic and upload on my FB via iPhone tomorrow. My mobile upload album shall be my random pic album too!

Back from Desaru. Still kinda tired. Plus stuff has been piling up till today. Freaking sian. Especially after I couldn't finish some of it due to being overseas. Right. Desaru first. Woke up really early, and took my uncle's car down to my aunt's condo. We were late, so we practically flew down the expressway.

Reached, boarded the bus, and went down to M'sia. The Liar Game I had hurriedly converted the night before didn't go through properly. =.= So only halfway. Went for breakfast as some kopitiam. Felt weird to be back in M'sia again and see the usual scenery. Lunch was surprisingly good.

After expecting to be back in Singapore, within the blink of an eye, M'sia again. Went to visit a fruit farm, took lots of photos, then an ostrich farm. Ostrich omelette which could feed like 18 people but tasted rather disappointingly, like well, eggs. Ostrich satay that tasted like satay too.

Went shopping at a place like IT fair with a lot of booths. But with food and stuff in those booths. Like a shopping center that can't decide whether it wants to be permanent or not. Dinner was very similar to lunch. Went to watch fireflies. It was near impossible to take pictures of since the light emitted by them was only visible to the naked eye.

However it was all very nice and the trees looked like xmas tree! I sorta visualized floating into the midst of airborne flies, but I guess it doesn't work that way. Too bad we couldn't go closer. It's probably as good as we can get to an Avatar-like world where the forests look like Las Vegas at night. Lol.

Next, went home. Customs was kinda irritating especially when you're so tired. Took lorry back. Been a while since I rode an open vehicle. Lol. Meh. Ok at least one of my things is settled.Was supposed to have to go back camp to write my testimonial and stuff, but thankfully someone did that for me already. Lucky I got through after asking around.

And...got driving again tomorrow. Feeling kinda sian though.A bit disillusioned with the thing, and need to pay quite a lot. Need to try and get though with it and finish it off. =.= Wish me luck. Haven't driven in like 2 months. Was going out for dinner with tak and ben, but ben can't make it so it's off now. =( Was kinda looking forward to it.

Tak says she going to pour a bottle of cold water over ben cos he 'puo leng shui'. That's nice. We can have a wet t-shirt contest! I'll be the judge! =D Hahahaha. And need to stay up late to collect my tree spirits tonight. Driving at 10. Rawr. Kinda sian my break is ending soon too. I want my iPhone.

BTW, Christmas list countdown:
Received 4 gifts from relatives this year. Funny how gifts seem to like, decrease in number each year? When you were a kid they used to be a veritable hill of gifts, like the Mount Everest of toys. Toys in really large boxes. You'd need like 2 huge plastic bags to cart them home. Now, it's just a meagre collection of a few odd boxes. WHERE ARE MY MISSING GIFTS? WHERE'D THEY GO? WHERE'S THE MYSTERY I CRAVE? GIVE ME MY MYSTERY!

Numero Quattro: SOCKS. I know Dumbledore sees socks in the mirror of Erised/Desire. I am NOT Dumbledore. I am not a really old wizard who has seen enough of the world already such that the only thing he craves for is a pair of socks. That's just sad. No socks. =( I wouldn't have issues with them if they were ankle socks. Then, no one would see them. These are 2-cm away-from-football-star-socks. 0.5 star.

Number Three: Polo tee from Hang Tee. Sigh. It's L. I wear medium. Sorry. This Large is really kinda LARGE. Plus, I prefer t-shirts, polo tees sometimes, shirts occasionally. The frequency I wear them is in just that order. Plus, it's Hang Ten! And it's a plain white (polo) tee. 0.5 star.


Number Two: Candy! This candy is special. It's Japanese and it's sorta like rock candy. You know the colourful crumbly kind at that store in Central which slices them into wee little fruity designs. (e.g. watermelon?) This one, they make the shapes out! slices of watermelon, orange, apples. It's all nice and cute. Granted, it's not permanent but it's something nice. 3.5 stars.

Numero Uno: A 4-port USH hub. NICE. This is one of those gifts that you never knew you wanted till someone gets you one. They probably got lucky here, but guessing I like tech stuff and hoping I don't already have one paid off really well. IT's in a shape of a human! Cute. It may travel with me one day. But it's a good idea. 4.5 stars.

Don't worry, I won't rate my friends' gifts. That's mean. Lol! Anddd...that's a t-shirt from Uniqlo from my aunt but I kinda cheated on that. Oh there's 2 red packets too, so...=)

Kay. My xmas money all went to paying for my next two driving lessons. Sigh.
