Ipoh Road Trip
I can't remember when was the last time I actually did a road trip! This time around, we took the opportunity to have a road trip down to Ipoh as it was Theresa's wedding! Theresa's an ex-waltonian that have moved back to Ipoh.
Myself, Regan, Leong and Charis went in 1 car while Calvin and Yew Choong went by bus. We all met in Ipoh for the wedding dinner. The next morning.. Calvin woke us all up at 8am for the makan-makan trip!
We started our invasion at 9am!
Our first was the local kopitiam. Imagine fighting with aunties to get tempat duduk! OMG!
but the white coffee and the roti bakar was so sedap! *thumbs up*
We just couldn't stop eating coz there's nothing better to do except eat, eat and eat. :/

I am 26 this year.
I read through Joyce's blog the other day. And she mentioned about quarter-life-crisis. Which , I think.. it's kinda hitting me lately.
And here it comes again.. it's not just the job, not just the insecurity. It is also something else that I won't mention here. Something that makes me feel insecure and unsure about. Where is it heading? Am not very sure. The confusion, the unsimilarity, the disagreement, the passion and the wants. I am ... lost.
Then.. come the part where I wanna just do whatever I feel like doing. Like dump everything here in Malaysia and get away. GET OFF. like take life just as it is. A point which i feel like i am in bits and pieces. The neither here nor there thing again.
At some point, all I know is that I'm working towards the work holiday visa. I am afraid to fall back down to where I was 4 years ago but I thought to myself to fucking dump these shit and just go out and see the world for awhile. It could be a few months or it could be a few years. I don't know.
Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include[citation needed]:
feeling "not good enough" because one can't find a job that is at one's academic/intellectual level (true)
frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career(fucking true)
confusion of identity (not so much, i think i sorta know who i am)
insecurity regarding the near future (yes.dont know where m i next year or wat im gona do and i hate the feeling of being insecure.)
insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals (true. i need my own property and i need my point to be proven to nobody else but my dad coz he's the only person that looks down upon me. I hate him.)
insecurity regarding present accomplishments (true. where have i moved to since i joined here in june 07, only i know how it feels.none of my family or even my friends will ever understand.)
re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
disappointment with one's job(not achieving what I intended to in the beginning and watching others succeed is such a pain)
loss of closeness to high school and college friends (yeah to a certain extent)
financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.) (FUCK EXPENSES, FUCK BILLS AND FUCK MY LANDLORD-BITCH!)
loneliness (to a certain extent)
desire to have children (i have always thought kids are really adorable :) )
a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you (haha.and i fucking take that personal)
"You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! "
Tell me why I am not suppose to be feeling like this. WHY?
And now I feel like crap. It's 2am and im not feeling i'm of any importance to the world, to my life and to my well being. Neither am i even important to my family, especially to my dad. I feel insignificant. And i fucking hate it coz I love spot lights.
Screwed-up-piece-of-shit.

The Corntoz Pillow Fight at Cineleisure Damansara in Mutiara Damansara attracted more than 200 people armed with pillows.
A LAZY Saturday afternoon turned into a wild rampage of fluff as shoppers and workers gawked at more than 200 people hitting at each others with pillows.
Yes, RandomActs (RA) has done it again, this time organising the Corntoz Pillow Fight at Cineleisure Damansara in Mutiara Damansara, Selangor.
The event, held in conjunction with International Pillow Fight Day involving over 75 countries, was attended by the young and the young at heart all in the name of fun. It wasn’t just the locals who took part as there were many tourists who joined in the fun.
Among them were Brazilian couple Marlene and Adriano. (CS members!!)
“It’s our first time at an event like this. We really want to ... get down and dirty while having a good time,” said the 28-year-old Marlene, who brought along her aged pillow from home.
The second round of the Corntoz Pillow Fight, held at Cineleisure Damansara in Selangor recently, was a free for all – team members were attacking their own people in the name of fun.
The secret gathering point, revealed just two days before the fight, was at a different shopping centre nearby. Participants, carrying pillows of different shapes and sizes, flocked to the shopping centre at 4pm on April 4, attracting much attention from shoppers and security personnel alike.
The crowd then quickly made their way across the mall to the lower ground floor of Cineleisure Damansara, where RA’s Zain HD greeted his legion of soldiers in a fake helmet and spear.
Both teams were then placed opposite each other in two sections while chanting aloud to raise spirits. Pillows were held up high with the firmest grasps as they waited for the siren to go off.
In a sudden rush, the battle began and both teams ran towards one another, while beating each other up with their pillows. As violent as it looked, waves of laughter were heard through their yelps while polyester fluff flew wildly in the air.
Teams later merged and participants started randomly hitting friends and strangers without a care in the world. Passers-by looked on in confusion but a large number of spectators gathered around and floors above, enjoying the fight.
Shortly after the first round began, participants were already sweating buckets and panting away while laughing along with newly found mates in the battleground.
Zain HD was the brains behind the Corntoz Pillow Fight .
Zain then gave them a short pep talk as they rested before Round Two. This time, the participants mustered even more strength and the quietest of the bunch went all out to become the rowdiest of the lot.
While the dominant group were teenagers and young adults, there were others like Peggy Lee, 50, and Ivy Soh, 40, who showed up to join in the fun.
“I had a lot of fun. I bullied them more than they did me!” said Ivy, who still had her pillow intact. “It was quite an experience.”
College student Rahul SK, 22, also had a ball. “It really reminded me of when I used to play pillow fights as a little boy. I enjoyed myself and made new friends.”
Zain, the 25-year-old activist who organised the pillow fight, said that he wanted to demonstrate how people can be brought together simply to have fun.
Through RA, Zain has organised other events aimed at promoting unity – bringing together people from all races, cultures and backgrounds – including the KL Freeze in Unison, KLX and the Read While Waiting Project (RWP).
“I am one of those who talk about wanting to see change. At some point, you have to step up and be a part of it,” he said.
How did the teams do in the ultimate pillow fight battle of Kuala Lumpur? Which team was victorious? Watch a video of all the action from last Saturday’s Corntoz Pillow Fight at rage.com.my.
Ikan Bakar @ Alai

Seriously.
But it was just ok in taste but it was really fresh. :)
Are you battling a weightloss journey? Good to know I have friends. :) Been there, done that. MY WHOLE LIFE! I came to know of the concept of clean eating back in May 2012. I was working out very hard since 2011 but no weightloss at all. When I started combining my workout and cleaneating in June 2012, it was the best decision ever. However, most recipes tend to be very western. Thus, I was thinking, why isn't there a clean eating website for Asians? Malaysians in particular. Welcome to my blog. =)
