birthday in genting

although i'm blogging bout it pretty late, but the memory is still as fresh as though it was just yest... on the 3rd of dec, ly and i went to genting to catch the michael bolton concert. actually, she bought the tickets and booked the room for the night as a surprise birthday gift for me... =) thank you!

i was just as excited as she was coz this is the first time we'll be spending the night together, just the both of us... furthermore, i've never been to any concert before and michael bolton is a pretty good concert for my first experience...

anyway, we left kl at about 3pm and we reached the genting first world hotel at about 5. once checked in, i saw a spectacular view where we could actually see the whole amusement park from our room...

this is the only clear pic that i could manage where the view is not covered in fog... genting is still by far the best amusement park in malaysia...

after a quick dinner that night, we made it to the arena of stars and waited in anticipation. michael bolton did not disappoint with his 2 hour performance and sang most of my favorites like go the distance, when a man loves a woman, how am i suppose to live without you and etc... till today i'm still in the concert mood - my mp3 player is still filled with his songs...

anyway, if you notice the pic above, you'll see two shots of a lady... man... you've gotta see her to know wat i mean... the way she danced, the way she moved... just so damn sexy! =)

during the second half of the concert, they actually allowed us to approach the stage and it is pretty obvious if you look at the crowd - the gals mainly couldn't take their eyes off michael bolton and the guys? they were surrounding this dancer to take a photo of her... and obviously, i'm guilty of that too... =)

well, enough of the sexy lady... =) the pic above is taken in our room (left) and also in the cable car ride on the way down from genting (right)...

that night, after the concert, we went out for a drink and spent the night talking... it's been a while since we really talked, you know? i've always been so busy with my uni and time is always so limited...

time actually flew by that night and before we know it, it's morning and time to leave... =(

but it's not all gloomy! we actually had 2 coupons for a buffet lunch and we decided to use them before we return home... and you should see the look on her face when we saw all the food waiting for us! hahaha... like a kid opening her present on christmas morning (she's gonna kill me for this)... =)

we filled our appetite till we couldn't eat a bite more and this time, it's really time to leave... although there was a pang of sadness but i was still happy as this is one of the best birthday presents i've ever received... =)

bye bye genting... till next time... =)

personalized night lamp

remember i mentioned working on some small projects during the holidays? well this is one of my mini project which i managed to complete... nothing really special, just a simple home made night lamp... =)

these are the tools and materials used for my own personalized night lamp...

a simple square lashing to hold the frame together... no nails!

after about a week, this is the finished product. didn't turn out as nice as i thought it would be, but what the heck... it's my own work... btw, this project cost me a mere + rm 30 and if i'm not mistaken, a lamp like this (aesthetics value notwithstanding) costs about rm 100 in ikea... so there you have it... =)
