Why does my heart have to skip a beat when he's around? Why does his little actions have to come across as adorable to me? (Lol... I use 'my' and 'me' as I'm the only one among Jen and Gary who thinks he's cute XD )

.... And I'm supposed to be pushing all thoughts of him into the farthest and littlest corner of my mind, as well as continuing the attempts to ignore his existence. I would be getting a grade 'C' or 'D' for my efforts.

But then again, when I manage not to be distracted by him when our classes are placed in the same exam venue, the paper tends to turn out quite alright =p So... can I be in the same venue as him for finals? XD

Anyway, grandmother's 80th birthday dinner at Nanking Court (vegetarian restaurant at SS2) was................. odd. Some guests from Malacca brought along more family members/friends then expected (hint: invited) so we family members had to sacrifice by making do with whatever tables the restaurant had (which in this case was away from the banquet area) as well as not being able to have the same scrumptious dinner the 'official' tables had.

This was because the menu for grandma's dinner was created specially by the head chef/owner using specially imported ingredients ahead of the banquet, so they couldn't really whip up two more of the same sets for the extra tables.

I was kinda looking forward to all the different types of mushrooms [my favourite!! =) ] incorporated into the birthday dinner menu, as well as the vegetarian 'monk jump over the wall', but oh well.... even my uncle who was paying for the dinner joined my table XD And the set dinner we ordered from the restaurant's standard menu was quite delicious ^^

At the end of the day, what was most important was that my grandmother had a ball of a time, and her guests were happy with the dinner, right? =)

I got to meet up with the babysitter who took care of me when I was young at the dinner as well! ^^ She moved to Malacca some time ago, and is in the same prayer group as my grandmother. Hehe... Grandmother's Malaccan friends actually chartered a bus to carry them from Malacca to PJ for the dinner =)

Oh... and thank goodness everyone enjoyed the cake =p Hey, it took quite a bit of effort to get all three tiers of the cake safely to the restaurant on time XD First, R.T. Pastry at SS15 didn't have a box big enough for the third tier of the cake (which was a 3kg Chantilly cake) ... so we had to borrow a yellow plastic box tray from them. And... believe it or not... they did not have the cake stand ready for us as well.

In all, we waited at least 1 hour (!!) for them to prepare the cakes as well as find, clean and decorate the cake stand.

On to F1! Today's Japanese Grand Prix at the Fuji International Speedway was a near farce =p For the first time in F history, the first 18 laps or so of the race was actually benind the safety car. Reason for this? It had been raining for 36 hours at the track, and the rain clouds continued to have the time of their lives by emptying their contents on the track. it was madness! Visibility was horrible for the drivers.... and Alonso crashed!! ^^

Although this effectively means Lewis Hamilton's lead in the Driver's Championship has been further cemented with only 2 races to go.... we wouldn't want he fat-headed prat Alonso to win the World Championship two years in a row, would we? Mind you, this is out of concern for Alonso (yeah right XD )... as goodness knows if his head will fit into his helmet next season if he sweeps the World Championship once again =p Gary, you're with me on this, right? And Auli would be happy too since Hamilton still has his lead.

I'm sure the Finnish are happy as well. Congratulations to Finland on the 2-3 finish. Although I do wish 2nd place had gone to Kimi in the Ferrari instead of Heikki Kovaleinen in the Renault... I'm glad it's Heikki and not Alonso who took second. Pity on Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel though. They could have placed 2nd and 3rd respectively had they not taken each other out. Poor Sebastian Vettel looked like he was crying = s It would have been marvelous for him had he been on the podium, being only 20 and a rookie to boot. But I'm sure a podium finish for him is just a matter of time ^^ So take heart, Vettel.

P/S: I may be flying to Melbourne again after finals in November, but the trip's not confirmed yet. Not sure if I want to go though. It'll be for 3 weeks and I may have to miss out on collecting my results personally.
