Seven Days, One Veek
I’m having one of those ‘woW!!’ moments again. Last Monday felt like a month ago and yet when I think about it today, I just can’t believe that so many things could have taken place in a measly seven days.
On Monday, we managed to surprise the rather un-surprisable Sean. HAPPY 21st bIrThDaY, Mr. S.S!
Man, it was just so hard to keep this all incognito from a guy who is so perceptive… or just too damm suspicious of everything! But we managed it! Yeap, we did!
We've forgotten to bring along a lighter so we had to use the power of imagination to help Sean blow out those candles!
First cut!
Got everyone to meet at the foyer at 12 noon for you see, in order to surprise the un-surprisable, one must employ tactics, cunning, strategy and a little luck!
The sign he was holding up was suppose to read"Happy Birthday Sean! G.G".
Sean had Ball Booth duty and Marketing Strategy Implementation discussion from 12-1. The opportune moment has thus presented itself as he already knows we were up to something… he just doesn’t know when or where.
The booth duty and MSI discussion were the perfect cover for our dastardly deed!
So before the main man’s arrival, we’ve rigged up a crude banner for him to roll down from the booth’s board.
I told him it was the new décor for the booth and as he stood up to release the duct tape, take cake was rolled out (well, carried out) and everyone converged to him as he looked at the unfolding banner dumbfounded for about 1/8th of a second!

On Wednesday was my mom’s retirement day. Now, I have BOTH my parents at home 24/7. Truth be told, this is something I am totally not used to as my parents were working people for the better part of my life. It is going to take some adjustment on my part.
Two generations of Loks are now officially in their golden years.
Dinner was at her favorite seafood restaurant somewhere in Taman Suria. I got her a RM 100 worth facial pampering session but the voucher requires a Monash student ID. Hopefully, the shop will understand that my mother will gladly take my place.
The main evento!
The crab's death cam.
Found a tripod at home which I thought I didn’t have and had some fun with it at the restaurant. Didn’t really set the right ISO for the shutter speed I was using but hey… I’m a work in progress. :P
The 'whooshhh' NoS effect.
Sisteeeerrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Pete and Sharon.
Me doing a Roy Mustang impression. *snap!*

On Friday was the Monash Street Party. Everything went accordingly to plan… except for the heavy downpour that lasted till about ten.
Stuck in the tents!
Xia yu la!
It was like a flood victim refugee centre…
… and the violence escalated as the food shortage became more dire. r4\/\/0r!!!
Have no worries, sir! We are professionally trained emergency medical technicians! You are in good hands now.
Could’ve taken much more cooler shots but my camera decided to choose this moment to die on me.
---------------------------------------------
On Saturday, the guys and I met up with Brenda at KLCC with a surprise appearance from Shu Ying.
This time, I think I’ve finally discovered the basic art of photography. Still need some help here and alot of practice there, but the camera’s manual was a good starting guide for me.
To avoid cluttering this particular entry, I will display my gallery of sceneries in a future post. Could be a new hobby of mine!
Someday soon, I will own every piece of property in the KL region. Buahahaha!
This really cracks me up. The KLCC LRT station toilet is apparently a ‘new concept’? That is a mighty good reason to charge us 20 cents, no?
--------------------------------------------------------
The other days passed on pretty much uneventful. There were a few twist and turns… as I discovered that life can still kick you in the nuts after you’ve think you have gotten over certain problems or issues.
*Sigh* aw, well… At least now the opportunity to fight my inner demons head-on has risen to a more considerable challenge. The fact that this new development will test whether or not the pact I’ve made for this year is all hot-air or something serious.
