My feet are Killing Me. Chapter 2- Grand Indonesia

ain, myself, ezzah, wan and aqi at the Japan level

This is very much long overdue... The theme for the "My feet are Killing Me" series is the places I went during that four (+ one) days holiday that I had last week. But my procrastination prevails and not to mention we also had a BBQ to prepare and by the end of it all, I was too tired to think of what to write.

So, last Saturday, we went here. Grand Indonesia Mall. The mall itself is the same as any other malls but what we wanted to see that day was the two upper levels. Where the aptly named "Crossroads of The World" is placed.


These two floors are decorated and designed to reflect different places of the world, complete with time period attached. There's the Japanese area, the Morrocan area, one sort of European styled but I'm not familiar enough to associate it to what part of Europe exactly, New York sometime in the past (again not familiar enough to associate the correct timeline) and Soho.

What really made me love this place was the attention to detail. Every aspect of the place was decorated to reflect the theme. Even the toilets and the signs!

We actually spent sometime going to the toilets on every floor to gawk.

Here are some of my favourite pictures of the day. Uploading all would be stupid and take too long, so, feast your eyes on the details....

European theme... where exactly?

again New York

China Town

There are actually so much lovely pictures of the place but picking a favourite to upload here is rather difficult.

As for me, being rather enamoured with Japanese culture, of course I loved the Japan theme the most. (^_^)

There is also one more very IMPORTANT thing that happened during my visit to Grand Indonesia but I shall honor it with its own entry. Those who know me well probably can already guess what this leads to.....

My feet are killing me...Chapter 1: Dufan

So, like I said, what to do during this four day holiday???

Well, quite a lot actually.....

Last Friday we (being my housemates and I and Ezzah, Mira, and Bai plus a group of juniors and kak fini, all in all 16 people) went to Dufan, Ancol.
We headed out at around 9.00 a.m and stayed there until the park closed at around 8.00 p.m.

Now that I think about it....LAMANYER!!!!!!!!!

us dalam angkut to dufan

So, what did I ride anyway, remembering my self-imposed ban on thrill rides EVER! thing?

well, they managed to coerce me into riding a swinging ship ride called Koya-koya. Since it didn't spin 360, i thought, well, couldn't be that bad, right? So we went on that after we got of the Ferris Wheel.

I think I left my stomach somewhere over there.

Actually, it was.... ok?? Hahaha.... I surprise myself. Now I actually think it was fun even though I wouldn't have had another go on it at the time.

(nona yg takut tinggi)

So after that, to get rid of the funny, my-organs-are-hanging-somewhere-in-the-air-above-me feeling, we went on the Bumper cars next..... *cue evil cackle.*

Soooo my favourite ride! Fiqi rode with me, Wan with Aqi, Bai and Mira and Ezzah on her own. I had so much fun!!! Worst crash was when we hit Ezzah head on. Fiqi has a bruise on her knee from it.

Somehow, this says a lot about my driving...

So after that, we went on a multitude of other rides, including a kiddy roller-coaster, a boat ride into a house of dolls aka "Istana Boneka" and one of those spinning tea-cup things called "Poci-poci". Who would have thought that those teacups could make one soo dizzy. (@_@)

We had to take a break after that one......hahaha.

the girls on the Tornado...I'm the one taking the picture.

So many things we did lah, the best...of course the Tornado.

I didn't ride it of course. I was standing happily on solid ground, recording my friends being swung up, spun around and hanged upside down in the air screaming their little heads off...or laughing in some cases....

It was fun just looking at them honestly. I'm living vicariously through them???

Poci-poci aka spinning teacups

We also went on the Log flume, Perang Bintang, Rumah Jahil, Rumah Ajaib and last, Arung Jeram. My second most fun ride of the day. hahaha....

It was a sort of boat thing passing through a series of rapids. It was the last ride we did so we were wet through. We went on it TWICE. Because the consensus was, "We're wet, lets get wetter". Ahahhaa....

last ride of the day; Arung Jeram

After that, since the park was already closing down, we went home.....dripping wet but really, extremely happy.

Honestly, the others went on more rides than I did. The roller-coaster, Ombang-ombang, Pontang-pontang and the swinging thing that I forgot the name.

(incidently,the names are all berganda yek???)

I, on the other hand, wouldn't get on anything high and or spinning. Hahaha...

do i feel left out? Honestly no... it was fun watching the looks of terror on their faces.

p/s: a few of my favourite pics of the day. They aren't in any particular order though. Other pictures can be found on my facebook.

Girls...

Girls are soooo........................... complicated.

Friends forever guys.

Ingat janji yeps????

(090409)

eeehhhh.....lost

itulah ape yang ak rasakan dua, tiga hari nih...

bermula dengan hari isnin yang bengong (i.e skill lab and radiology day), diikuti dengan hari selasa yang bengap (i.e ilmu penyakit dalam/internal medicine) dan diakhiri, setelah sekian lama, oleh hari rabu (i.e microb and surgery day)....

giler bengong.... hahahaha





but, never fear!!! The exams are over!!!!

(shouldn't it be: Fearlah kamu, becoz after this, RESULTS!!!)?

layanlah....

pokoknya, ak hepi exam da abis....

mane tak nye...naik mengong jawab bedah yang mengong... hahahah

ozmate kate muka ak giler lost spanjang minggu nih... hahaha...way over head here baby....

sooo, after exams yesterday, that night, Aqi, Wan and I went to watch a movie. Shinjuku Incident, starring Jackie Chan, Naoto Takenaka and Daniel Wu (a.k.a, Wan-nye hero).

How was it? Ehhhhh....passable.

I don't know lah... Couldn't really get into the movie. I mean, what was it actually about anyway? Was it about the trials and tribulations of illegal chinese immigrants come to Japan or was it about how the guy looking for his love or was it just an action movie where all plot and story development thrown out in favor of kick ass, gory, bloody action (and it was kick ass, gory, bloody action, mind you. I mean.... he cut the guy's face, dude!!!).

So, for me, who didn't get the movie at all, it was passable. Maybe my brain hadn't healed yet from the beating it took during the Surgery exam that I couldn't take anything in....

penangan hebat tooohhhh....

So, what to do next during this four day holiday?

Tiba-tiba, terasa nak makan Secret Recipe nye cheese cake...hmmm... cheeeeese caaaaake...(reads like homer simpson)

p/s: post in dual language because slightly malas

Obsessed Much???

You are 41% obsessed with Arashi.

You're almost past the half-way mark! ALMOST! Looks like you're doing pretty well, even though you might be relatively new. That, or you're in the fandom, you're just not that obsessed. Which is okay! Go you!

Oooo yeah......


well, I only started really liking them last year. I used to know Arashi as boy band that wears sparkly, garish costumes during their concerts that make me cringe....




Now, they're MY boyband (the correct term would be, "idol group")





.....though I still cringe at their concert attire.... purple sequins and feathers on your shoulders anyone??????

Of Staphs and Strepts and a sulking gut...

It's exams week.... Oh the shock and horror!!! Hear the screaming of hundreds of Ukrida students as we try to cram some last minute into our brains, or, for the desperate, up any crevice accessible.


I need an outlet right now.....


I made a mistake today. Well, several mistakes really but this one..... this one really bites me.


Today I had my Skills labs exam and my Radiology paper.


It was the radiology exam to be precise. The question was simple enough,

"Kuman apakah yang paling sering menyebabkan osteomielitis."

Simple.... straight to the point.... and I had my staphs and strepts confused.....



Really, as soon as I read the answers, my brain died on me. Which is it? Was it staphs or strepts?????????????


The stupidest, most unbelievable mistake one can make, and I made it....


Am i stressed? Stressed doesn't describe me right now.



Osteomyelitis has been discussed in no less then three subjects and I had my staphs and strepts confused... shheeeeessshhhh..... T_T


My gut was saying staph, really, but my hand refused to listen and marked strept...




Then i had a stomach ache cause my gut was sulking cause i didn't want to listen to it....... >_<;;;




Ah well....



It's Internal Medicine tomorrow. I meet Osteomyelitis again.... complete with classifications and doses.....



Pray for my success....
