Today I woke up at 8:15am to find myself late for the prague tour. When I went down for breakfast, I was still in time as the girls delayed the trip till 9am. So, at 9am we departed for Charles Bridge with 2 Brits, 2 Pakistanese, 3 Indonesians, 1 Singaporean and 1 American.
The trip was fantastic and the places were beautiful. But as usual the girls were so keen on taking pictures so we had to stop every 5 steps forward to say ''cheesseee'' or for me I would say '' sexxxx''. ^_0
We walked on Charles Bridge and went to Prague Castle. The castle was huge and it was absolutely amazing. The queue into the castle was comparable to the length of the Great Wall of China. Ok... thats too much but anyway there was a long queue so the girls decided to go shopping instead. The guys?? how boring... we went to mcdonalds for lunch and went straight back to the hotel after lunch.
We registered at the conference venue at 5pm and the first activity started at night, meeting members of my group and discussing issues bout Kosovo's independence. Our night ended in a pub and I went to sleep at 2am.

Pragueeee...
Finally I am in prague for the International Youth Leadership Conference. Was waiting for it since the start of my summer holiday and here it is. I am in Pragueee..
My parents dropped me off at East Midlands airport at 3pm this evening after visiting Warwick University. To be honest the uni looked much better than Oxford and cambridge uni but I still wish to get into Oxford uni to study PPE.
The flight to Prague took about 1 hour and 30mins and I reached Prague airport at around 9pm. I wandered around the airport to look for the conference people to escort me to the hotel but I saw nobody. In the end I decided to go to the hotel on my own. Knowing no Czech language, I found my way to the hotel thanks alot to the helpful bus driver.
I reached the hotel at 10pm and immediately I met the other only Malaysian attendee and other attendees from pakistan, united kingdom, singapore, pakistan, morocco, india and south korea. They were all so sociable. I joined the group of people who were already there and went online. When others who arrived later, they would just introduce themselves to everyone without fear, something which is uncommon in malaysia.
In the end I chatted with a singaporean and a brit until 2am and we have to wake up tomorrow at 7am to tour around famous places in prague before the conference starts.

Flat...
Today was another boring day for me. Woke up late and left hotel late to check out our flats in kensington london. We agreed to meet the tenant at around 2-3pm but we arrived at 4pm. We had to delay the meeting to 7pm and we used the 3hours gap to visit the second flat. We walked and walked and walked and all we did was walking. We arrived at the flat and I went straight to the TV room and watched BBC news and Golden Balls. How jobless rite??
Actually Golden Balls was quite interesting and it was all about trust and greed. We left the flat 2 hours later and went back to the first flat which we spend another 1-2 hours and had chinese for dinner. how boring rite? didnt even feel like blogging such an unproductive day. sigh.
I was all flat when i got home and i went straight into bed like last night. --.-

Today I spend my whole day shopping with my mom but bought nothing. Early in the morning we decided to stay for another night at this hotel because it was worth the price and we left to shop at the Harrods by noon. Harrods was a big big shopping centre with everything girls needed especially for designers stuff.
It was Harrods sales so my mom was very keen to go there and I went along. They had millions of clothes, hundred thousands of shoes and many more stuff to be bought. The very first thing that attracted me was their food department. You could find any food around the world there but the place was for rich people so the price was amazing too. After surfing around the area we went to De Beers jewellery shop to shop for some rings. I was so keen to get my mom to buy the £80000 3-carat diamond ring but she claimed it was too big for her hand so we went searching for a 2.78-carat ring which was just right for her hand but they didnt have any left so I think she would return to the shop next week to get it. But seriously the 3-carat diamond ring was so pretty you would melt looking at it.
After spending 2hours looking at diamonds we went to womenswear. My mom picked on a few to try but since they have closed down the two individual fitting rooms, they had only 1 large fitting room left which many people would go into and change. She didnt know at the time and I was so surprised that she came out 20seconds after entering the room because she couldnt bare changing in front of other ladies. I was laughing how the salesladies looked at my mom when my mom requested for individual fitting room. haha. ladies cant even let other ladies to look at them.
After clothes we shopped for handbags. The price for chanel bags have risen by like 30% compared to last year. My mom bought one last year at £900 and now it cost £1300 after discount. So my mom didnt buy any bags which actually suprised me.
The place was so big that we could only shop at several sections for several brands. When we left it was already 8pm and I think we only covered 30% of the whole shopping centre. I was so exhausted when I got back after standing for such long hours watching my mom shop. When to bed and slept immediately after i got home. zzz.

Today I was supposed to wake up at 6:30am to prepare myself for my flight at 10am but instead I slept until 7:30am. Did everything very fast and rushed to the airport. Long queue at the airport for those using Malaysian Airlines and by the time we got to the gate it was already 9:50am, 10mins before the plane take off.
Couldnt sleep very well in the plane but still got away with 1 to 2 hours sleep. watched encarnation which was omg so so boring, spiderwick which its beginning was quite interesting and run fat boy run which was so funny but i couldnt finish it. I swear would recommend this movie to everyone it was so funny. Oh, just to benefit everyone, I would recommend this trick that my mom used if she's ever to travel in economy class. She would book the very back centre aisle seats and since people would demand for aisle seats and after the aisle seats are being filled up, they would automatically fill up middle seats from the front. So if we are lucky, there might not be enough people filling up the middle seats and we at the back would enjoy 4 seats for 2 people as we are sat at the aisle seats and the middle seats were empty. and we could take turns to actually sleep horizontally in the airplane.
At heathrow airport was terrible. Longest queue ever 1 1/2 hours to check in. so bored wanted to go online but they charged for usage, unlike in klia airport which was free. we got there in the afternoon but by the time we got out it was already night time. And what was great was that we havent booked any hotels yet. I had to call my sister to book us a hotel if not we would have to sleep at the airport. But luckily we got a nice hotel near Queensway and we spent our 1st night there.

Gonna leave for London soon and still havent started packing and now is already 11:45pm. Parents are still out for dinner and I wonder when they would be back. Worse is that my grandfather, uncle and cousins arrived and I have to serve them soon. Good thing is that I get to meet my grandfather. sigh.
This morning I went to Midvalley to meet Tania and my NZ friend quin leng. They were still fine as usual and I passed them my Leo project document. Hope they could manage it for me while I am away for my Euro trip.
I met my parents at 2pm at Dragon-i where we had our lovely siew long pau and dumplings. I swear their siew long paus were really top class and everyone should give it a go. well at least not for Muslims sorry because it contains pork. Didnt do much in Midvalley besides being hung up-side-down in the centre court just to try out some new sporting EQs.
Went home and had a nice chat with sher min and ate my delicious eel and nandos sauce-marinated-chicken. Yummy.... and here i am typing this blog. Leaving tomorrow and coming back on 1st aug. Looking forward to my Prague conference. :-)

Outing with Penny...
Today I went to Midvalley to see penny for one last time before she leaves for aussie, a place i hate the most because my love ones are there and are going there too. I do not understand what's so good bout aussie since the place is like rojak and their education besides for dentistry isnt any good too.
I arrived at Midvalley at 10:15am, 15mins later than promised because I didnt know that I had to wait so long for the komuter to arrive and it moved at a snail speed. I was surprised to see sher min at the philosophy section in MPH and I stood behind her for 10mins before her noticing my existence as my phone rang. We went around to hunt for a farewell gift for penny and again we bought penny accessory from topshop.
After that her boyfriend was already outside topshop waiting for her. I left the couple to walk on their own and I went to the Gardens to explore Chanel but to receive a call from penny saying that she has reached Midvalley and I had to walk back without doing anything. Penny purposely wore heels which made her taller than me. We had lunch and went to watch Made of Honours. I found some similarities in the movie that I hope would not happen to me. really really hope so.
After the movie penny, lilien and I went window shopping and i bought a lancome mascara as a birthday gift for ai nee. when sher min came, I left with her to the exhibition centre to play some games which she suck so much at. At around 6:30pm we left midvalley to penny's house. her house was so comfortable and phoebe ly was there too. After food we chatted and took pictures too. Shameless sher min invited herself to take picture with us and she really suck at posing. haha
Goodbye penny we are gonna miss you. Enjoy yourself in aussie stop peeking at topless guys.

Happy ending ^_^
Today I went to Cempaka Cheras to watch the Imovie competition and to play football with my cempaka footballers. I arrived the school at 8:30am and had a small chat with En.Nizan. After walking around the school for an hour En.Hemi told me that the Imovie screening was cancelled because Dr.Rizal just came back from overseas yesterday. That was a bad enough start for the day and what made it worse was that I received an sms from ai nee saying that she would not be able to watch a movie with me if she had no transport back home.
However, I remained optimistic and finally the good news came at around 11:30am and I went on to pick her but to realise that both my driver and I didnt know the place so we kept looking and looking for her college. Until when we found UCSI college, it wasnt where she was studying as there were 2 of them, the new and the old one. I think she was becoming impatient as her tone of voice changed. But anyway, we got her finally and she looked gorgeous.
We went to leisure mall to watch a crappy movie called Wanted. How can someone bend a bullet like Beckham's freekick? The speed of the bullet is just too fast to be affected by the swerve of the gun. The last part was most ridiculous. The girl shot a bullet which went through a think 5 ppls' heads standing in a circle. What a brilliant idea by a brilliant director. Sigh.
After the movie ai nee was indecisive of whether to go home by taxi and get scolded or to follow me to school and put the question of how to go home behind the mind for at least that moment. I forced her to follow me to cempaka school and she did. haha. the taxi driver who took us there was the funniest man i have ever met. I swear he would be the next Stephen Chow.
Football at cempaka was disappointing. I played very badly, one of the worse performances in my life. I was quite surprised to see Jon to improve so much. He played so much better than me. While I was playing football ai nee was doing her college homework in the canteen and after I finished bathing, we went to the guardhouse to get transport home. At first we thought we would never go back home as there were no taxis willing to come to this area until ai nee's coincidental plan to get derek to drive us to leisure mall for dinner and wait for simon lim to get us to kok keong's mom and hang around at kok keong's house until we get transport back home.
At kok keong's house we ate dinner and sang karaoke. Ai nee went back at 10:15pm when her cousin sister was free to pick her up and I still couldnt get any transport home so I decided to stay overnight. Simon was so shameless as he asked kok keong's mom to send her home rather than getting own transport. Anyway spending time with ai nee was fun and i hope could spend more time with her next time.

Second lesson..
I had my second driving lesson today. Today was not at BSC but at the PJ safety driving school. Today's lesson was to park the car at the slope - slope parking. lol.
Balancing was tough at the slope. Stupid kancil gave out so much noise when I stepped on the accelerator and the engine died quite a few times because i estimated the speed of the car by the noise of the car when i stepped on the accelerator which caused the car to fall backwards. Today's lesson wasnt good too and I dont think im gonna pass my driving test and get my licence. sigh T.T

First lesson
Finally i have started my first driving lesson after passing my undang for more than a year. Hope to get my driving licence by next month so that i could spend 2 years of driving probation in uk without actually driving on the road.
Today my mom and I rushed to the post office to renew my L licence as it expired like dunno how long ago. After that we went to Chyna at KL Hilton for dim sum. I swear to God their dim sum are so damn delicious. Like Sher min would say, it feel like you're having orgasm when you slowly bite on the siew mie, chew it and shallow it.
We managed to get home by 3pm and the driving instuctor came to the house to take me for driving lessons. My first lesson was at Bangsar Sports Complex that area. I didnt understand what the clutch was all about and the engine went dead for like more than 10 times. sigh.
Next lesson will be on this coming thursday. Hope to do a better job on that day.
