Denise on a Tuesday Part 2

About 2 weeks ago, Afiq invited me to go to his college to eat. As in becoming a guest(duh) dining at a fine dining restaurant. The restaurant was run by hospitality students and it was their practical . XD

My parents used to go for these kinds of things coz many many years back, my auntie was studying Hotel Management and she was living with us while she was studying. I still remember when I was like 4 or 5 years old I used to play with my auntie's hair dryer and her make up. XD She used to come home very late and leave the house really early. So, I barely see her around and I couldn't remember much about her living with us. XD

Anyway.... Initially, I asked Mei Yean and Wye Kik to go but they can't make it. So, Vi, Suhan (vi's bro) and Kok Siang went with me instead.. =DD My mum was supposed to fetch us there. The plan changed at the very last minute when Derrick rang me. He finished his college early and decided to drive all the way to my place from his college in PJ. I was like, "Are you serious?? @.@??" Yeah, he was..

I was worried that he might be stuck in the traffic jam due to rush hour and also as you know, fasting month. Everyone wants to go home early to cook dinner. XD You know, I haven't met Derrick for like.... ?? nevermind . He was stuck in a jam indeed.. It makes me wonder what made him drove all the way to Ampang from PJ?? Well, he always wanted to see my mum coz its been a long time.. ahaha.. I'm not sure why actually. Maybe he just wanna meet up with us. =) awww.

After that, all of us hopped into Derrick's apple green myvi and off we go. =DD I was a little bit moved when I got into the car. =/

Derrick with his sunnies on the MRR2 highway.

Jalan Tun Razak.
Its always jam.

I have the tendency to take pictures of people when they are driving.. I dunno why. =)

He look so happy..

Look!


After 1 hour and 30 minutes, we reached our destination.
Derrick was already hungry and tired of being on the road.

XDD
Thanks for fetching us all the way from Ampang to PJ, Derrick! I really appreciate it. Apparently if your mum finds out about this, you'll be in trouble. =/ It was really nice to meet up again.

Once again, Thank you!! =D

After Derrick dropped us off, he went out to eat dinner.
Afiq appeared from the back as he covers my eyes.. =)

We got our coupons and we entered the restaurant.
Fine dining it was.
Vi, Kok and I were really in need of a tutorial on Fine Dining for Dummies.
But, thank god I knew a little bit about dining/silverware etiquette. =D
For instance, my bread plate is positioned on my left.
Never pick up any silverware if you dropped it.
Use the silverware from the outside in.
Don't be late - we broke that rule.
How to place your silverware to indicate you've finish eating.
Always thank your server at the end of the meal.
etc.

Anyway, our server of the day was Justin. He was... alright I suppose. He looked kinda nervous. XD Maybe its because he's still learning. Can't blame him.

We had

Mango+Sprite juice.

Some salad for starters.

and the main course!

Roast Chicken with French Sauce and Potatoes.
Afiq made this for me! =DDD
This was my portion and I compared it with Vi's portion.


I looked at our server, Justin.
He said, "Afiq did it specially for you.."

Vi and Kok Siang were like "Not fair!! how come you got more and we have less?? =/"
All of us were giggling and laughing coz I had more.
It taste good! =P

I took the longest to finish up my meal coz I had more to eat. Justin was like waiting by our table for me to finish my meal which I find it quite... I dunno if its supposed to be that way or not?
Anyway.. it was dessert time!

We had..
I mean, I had

I forgot the name of it.
but, its with chocolate!

Whereas vi, kok siang and suhan had this,

without the chocolate.
@.@ kesian la.... look at him..

damn, i felt so special that night.

I asked Justin,
"how come mine has chocolate on it and my friends don't??"

Apparently they ran out of chocolate since we were a lil' late.
Afiq and Julian saved the last one for me.. =DDD

All I wanna say is that I hardly get the chance to feel special and it feels really good to have the chance to feel that way. I know its just a meal but its the little things we do that makes it special. I mean, I would do the same if my boyfriend and I switch places.

After our meal, I met his friends in person. LOL.
I could see they're those type of people that will light up a classroom! XD

Thank you so much for that night Afiq!! <3 ps : aaaaahhhh! I have a boyfriend who can cook!! =DD

You're stuck with me. XDDD

oh wait, or is it I'm stuck with you?

Awwww... ain't that cute? =D

The Life and Times of College Life.

I've been doing lotsa things for the past 2 weeks. Yeah, very happenning! =DD So much so, that I didn't really have the time for a real post. I don't know why... Although my readers (YOU) never really asked for an update but I go for it anyway. So, here are the life and times of my life in college!

A week ago, I was still looking for a dress for Appreciationg Night. Over here In Tunku Abdul Rahman College, Appreciation Night is also known as Pom Night. In short, we call it A.NITE. It is organised by The School of Pre-University Studies (SPUS). I'm proud to be in SPUS!!

I keep delaying on my plan to buy a dress coz my old ones couldn't fit anymore. Last week Wednesday, one of our class was cancelled (again) so Mei Yean and I decided that we head to MidValley to shop for our dress. Our A.Nite is on Saturday and we're actually shopping at the 11th hour.

We took the Putra Line from Tmn Melati to KL Sentral. It took us abt 45 minutes to actually reached there coz both of us went back to Tmn Melati Station from Setiawangsa to search for a reload card that may or may not be there. Thank god, Mei Yean found her reload card.. XD

That day was also my first time taking KTM.

I don't like taking KTM. Now I understand how you feel, Afiq.. and also Joel.

Mei Yean and I literally walking all over MidValley like 5 or 6 times to find our dresses. We also went to The Gardens but couldn't find any. We went into so many shops, changing rooms, waiting for each other, trying out so many pieces of dresses.

This Dark Purple dress look really nice and it fits perfectly on me. The only problem I had was the price. It was way over my budget.

This pink one was too loose.

This one was nice too but it was black and I don't want anymore black. It was a little bit loose too and I don't wanna feel uncomfortable so I didnt get it.

We had porridge and char kuay with Soya Bean for Lunch.
Mei Yean loves porridge. XD
I love the char kuay so much coz it was so crispy.

I got a lot of phone calls and smses while I was shopping.
I sorta got annoyed when Elle called coz it was my last straw.
She only called once but too many people have been calling non-stop.
Sorry Elle!!
Well, when she called to ask me where was I, I knew something was going on but I never knew what it was.

After 6 hours of non-stop walking, it was time to go home. we found our dresses at an awesome price. I had fun that day going shopping after such a long time. I'll never forget that silicone thingy. AHAHAHA!

I took the STAR line from Bdr Tasik Selatan to Ampang. You know, since I don't have a choice I really appreciate that our public transport system is quite reliable. It was already 9.30 p.m

Look at our tired eyes..

I got a call from the boyfriend that he would fetch me to grab a bite to eat since I was extremely hungry. =DDDD I felt really relieved when I got into the car coz that was the only time I can actually sit. KTM and LRT was filled with people and so I had to stand for 1 hour.

We went to O'briens at great Eastern Mall for dinner.


Sandwich was my dinner. I didn't really mind coz I was so damn hungry. It was awesome.!! The sandwich was filled with salmon, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, some crispy thing which was sweet, potato chips with wholemeal bread. I had Tiramisu too. =DD Thank you so much for the dinner!! The next one is on me, okay?? No buts and no exceptions! =P

After I finished my dinner, I was already exhausted. Really exhausted. Imagine being out of the house for 16 hours.

Oh! One more thing.. I knew what you were planning for that day my dear. You wanted to surprise me after my class ended in college earlier that day but I went out with Mei Yean instead to Midvalley to get our dresses.
I know you were a little sad and I didn't know (wait, it was supposed to be a surprise).
I never told you that I knew about it but I found out somehow. =)

On Friday, I had to attend an Award Giving Ceremony for Scholars at The College Hall. So, it is compulsory for all of us to weal formal attire on that day. And so, I wore this to college

Imagine wearing formal attire to classes everyday.
ugh. I don't think I want that coz of the weather.


The Ceremony was kind of a waste of time if I never heard the speeches by the previous scholars. I only got my certificate later since they can't be giving it out one by one since there were thousands of us. However, I realised that TAR College actually gave RM 6.4 million worth of scholarships in total every year. We need not have to go for an interview as they didn't have one and no interview was required. It is all based on your SPM results.

Saturday.

A. Nite. =)

Mei Yean drove down to Ampang from Cheras. We went to Ampang Waterfront and had our hair done. =D


It took us abt an hour to finish both our hair. We were kinda late also. We reached my house at 5p.m. The event starts at 5p.m and we haven't even wore our dresses yet.

"How ah???"

XDDDD
Finally she locked the stering wheel.
Funny wei.

My prom date was late also. tsk tsk tsk.

It was drizzling

Prom date.
He can't stop saying I should be sweet tonight. XDDD


Joel and his "fro"
Thankf for watching over my bag. =D

Chester!
Ahahahaha... Lookin good.

ah! Shi Jun!
My classmate since high school!

From Left,
Winnie, Ivy, me!, Mei yean and Ti Nam(high schoolmate)

Class of SN10E,G&H.
At least there a few from each classes. XD

It was my first time going to a prom and so I didn't really expect much. It kinda sucked coz from what my friends described about their high school prom's it was way better. On A.Nite, there were too many performances. I must say some of them are really good.

But what really bores me to death was the Prom King and Queen Catwalk. It was way to draggy and in opinion, there's no need to catwalk like 3 times. The dancing part was nice. =D That was the only time I really enjoyed myself. The food sucked except the chocolate muffin. XD

After everything was over, some of us decided to go to Mamak for supper. But, we ended up in McD MRR2 instead of mamak.



Damn, I hate you McD.
I can never not eat you.






I wanted to see my hair for the last time so...


Joel had to go home and Ivy was too tired, so they left earlier. Whereas, the 3 of us sat in McD talking about our childhood cartoons like Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, CatDog, Rugrats, I am Weasel, Dexter's Laboratory (ooooooohhh, what does this button do? *click* and *kaboom!!!*), Bear in The Big Blue House, etc. XD Talked about life as usual. How the little things that we do can stir things up.

I dodn't want that night to end so fast but we had to go home coz it was already so late.


I've been out and came home much later than this but I just don't feel like going out so late anymore. Its too tiring and it disturbs my sleeping hours.

Thanks for everything, guys and girls. =)

more pictures on Facebook.

I slept at 6.40 a.m coz I had to wash my hair like 3-4 times to get rid of the wax spray and glitters. I woke up at 3 p.m and my hair was still kinda stiff and I can't stand it that my hair is stiff so I washed it another 2 times. wth.

This week would be the last week os college before the term break starts. A few events were going on and one of it was the Launching Of Merdeka Celebration at SPUS's H Block.


It was a very simple and sweet launching ceremony. I liked it.
It was organised by the Science and Mathematics Society. Good job, guys!


Madam Looi in red.
Ribbon cutting time! =D



Damn, I love balloons.

OneMalaysia.
I heard that One Malaysia is about uniting all the races in Malaysia towards globalisation or something like that, I dunno. I have to read the newspapers lah, which I don't do so often nowadays.

Besides this, there was also the SPUS inter-school Sports Carnival going on for the whole week. There was basketball, volleyball, badminton, futsal, football, squash and swimming competition. I wasn't involved in any of it but I did stayed back to support my friends who were competing on one particular day. So sorry if I missed some of your match!

Awesome job guys for the first round!

A big thank you to Jeremy and Joel who teman-ed me as I was sitting all alone at certain points.. =DD I really appreciate that.

I was kinda engrossed, I dunno why although I'm not a basketball fanatic.

Halfway watching the match, Afiq called and we wanted to meet up but I was still watching the match. So, he drove to my college and watched the match with me. =)) *hugs*

These guys are really swift and amazingly good..

They're so fast that I can't capture a clear picture of them.

oh!! Look at the ball!

and SCORE!!

Wye Kik, Vi and I were supposed to get 1901 after the match but the competition will end quite late. It was already almost 8pm and I've never stayed back in college until that late before. So, Afiq and I decided to leave earlier and meet up with them at AP later.

We dropped by Nando's to get something for his sister and he drove back to his house for awhile and then we meet up with Wye Kik and Vi at AP.


The queue was really long, as always.
Who wouldn't buy 1901 at a hot price of Rm2 each. XD
The 4 of us sat at McD with so many pairs of eyes staring at us.
I was so freaking hungry that I ate 3 hotdogs.

There were a lot more things happened in college but I can't rally recall them and these are only the few that I picked to blog about. XD

Oh!!!! I'm so happy now...
You wanna know why??

Remember the bruise aka TATTOO on my hands???


Well...

ITS GONE!!!!!

This is such a hige relief y'know.
=DDDD

Goodness... I will definitely not miss my "tattoo"

OH!!! one more thing!
I got a call from the Blood Bank a few days ago.

Hello, may I speak to Miss Denite Tan

Hai... yes, speaking.

Denise, i'm X (I can't remember her name) calling from the Blood Bank.

Oh! is there something wrong with my blood??? is it okay??

Nononono, there's nothing wrong with your blood. Its all fine, don't worry..

phew.... I thought there was something wong with my blood.

Nono, theres no need to worry and actually, I called to confirm with you that you've completed your blood donation on 3rd of August at Tunku Abdul Rahman College and you've donated one pint of blood to us. Is that correct??

yeah, I did donated my blood and what do you mean if I've completed the blood donation??

It means that you donated your blood and the blood bag was full.

Oh! yeah, I did but I donated more than a pint actually..

Oh! how come??

Apparently the vein of my left arm is too small and the blood clotted halfway and the bag was already half-filled. So, they switched on my right arm instead.

Did they use the same bag or a new bag???

They used a new bag.

Ahhh... That's good. But were you alright after the donation?? Coz you donated more than a pint and I'm sure you felt really tired after that..

yeah, I did feel tired.

Anyway Denise, the main reason I called you is to ask about your hand. According to our report here, your hand was badly bruised.

yeah! It was badly bruised and it looks really horrible like I've been abused and a car ran over my hand. wait, how do you know about my hand???? o.O

We recorded it down and that's why I called to check on you if you're okay and since its your first time donating your blood, we dont wanna' scare you off from donating your blood again. how is it now??

Ooohhh.... Yeah, its okay. But my mum wasn't pleased the fact that my hand turned out like that. I was quite sad coz it looks really ugly. But, don't worry.. i'll definitely donate my blood again.

I'm so sorry about that, Denise but I'm glad to hear your hand is okay now. And one more thing, if you do donate your blood again in 3 months time, you can come out our centre and get a free Hepatitis B vaccination.

Oh! that's nice... but I think I got that already when I was a baby. Is it necessary for me to get it again now??

I cant remember what she replied.

Anyway, can i ask you something?? its about the Rhesus factor of my blood. Is it positive or negative??"

Its Positive, so you don't have to worry.

ohhh.. okay.. that's good. =DD

yada yada yada... she ended the conversation with a sweet goodbye. XD

***

Damn, I never knew they were so nice.. If they weren't I would've scolded them for the bruise they left on my hand. XD

Anyway, this post is way too long already.
I'm having my break now and after that, I'll be sitting for exams. omaigod.

Despite having so many things on my shoulders right now, I really enjoy myself being in college. I know I need to study religiously which I don't coz I'm not a person who can study all the time but I have to force myself to do so. I shall start my study routine now.

Will update when I have the time... =)
