Room Raider

Today, we celebrate our independance, every Malaysian regardless of race stand together, united as one...bla bla bla...yawwwwnnnnn...

Public Holiday -_-

I hate publics holidays. Want to go shopping also cannot. Every mall is infested with people-they are right when they talk about unity in Malaysia. United to make Mid Valley richer.

Being the wonderful Malaysian I am, I decided to do something patriotic. Since we celebrate our country's freedom today, I figured, it's time my room be released from it's bondages. Tornado Katrina hit it few weeks ago...


ohyes, believe me when I say I lived in this.

I started by emptying every cupboard, drawer and shelf. One of my shelves became home to a family of silver fish. Of course I am merciful and squashed them to death. And then you'll get the occasional lizzard or two. But I don't squash them, I let them run.

Do you remember reading Enid Blyton's 'The Magic Brush and Other Stories'?...well, there was this story of how the boss wanted to test the housekeeper to see if she really cleaned the house. So they left pennies under the rug, on the mantlepiece, under the table....and when the owners came home, they found the pennies intact. And the next day when the cleaner came, they fired her!...I felt abit like that, except I was the good version of the housekeeper. I found my starfish studs that mysteriously went missing!!




The more I cleaned, the dustier it got. It was really really dusty. Dessert sand storm also cannot beat. I needed a Ninja to do the job.




After what seemed like eternity, I could finally see the floor. I almost forgot what it looked like. I threw out as much as could, even my ex-handphone. Haha. I had no idea I kept so much junk! Collection of the day :




I like to clean. Sometimes. It gives me a sense of achievement and satisfaction. It's a nice feeling. I like it. My room, restored to it's glory....


Now, I'm gonna scrub off all that dirt. Happy Meleka to youuuu...btw, did you see our friend Sammy V singing Negaraku on TV? He was soooo off tune, worst part is he was reading the lyrics from a piece of paper! What a joke. Sigh...I am so proud of Malaysia.

On the 29th of August

Bye-Bye Wei Soon and Happy Birthday UMeng!

It was our pleasure to have Wei Soon back. 2months feels like 2days when you’re in good company. Wei Soon going back, marked the end of my holidays. No more late nights, no more gallivanting, no more Russian Vodka, no more jolly jolly. It’s quite sad actually. Back to reality. Anyhow…

A toast to Pang Wei Soon. ‘Fer he’s a jolly good fellowwwwwww!!!!….*hick*….


Annnddd to my bruddeerrrr….D.J. Funk-Mixer Meng!
Yo man. Reason why I didn’t get you a birthday present was because I know you appreciate sincerity, not material things. And this is the most sincere form of my sincerity. I mean, not everyone gets to be mentioned on lisathetan.blogspot.com okaaayyyy…

Congrats. You made the cut! Muahahaaa….But seriously lah. You one of the coolest guys I know. Sorry if I always bark at you, cause, u know lah Cholerics. Very insensitive wan. But we mean well.

So from the heart of my bottom. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many happy returns!!

Rough Tough Outdoors

This is a delayed post, cos I'm so embarassingly untech-savvy. Sigh.

Moving along....

So,camping in the rough tough outdoors. What an experience! We went in excited, and came out with a grand total of ONE leech bite. "UMeng! Why is your ass bleeding?!". It's proven-people who use insect repellant/mozzie patch turn leeches off.

Our designated campsite was Sungai Congkak, in Ulu Langat. But when we reached there, we were greeted by our wonderfully hardworking Malaysian Army. They tah pau-ed the whole Jungle to their "training" wor...yeah rite lah. Sit there eat Nasi Lemak.

Exasperated. We left in search of another camp site. After awhile, we reached an Orang Asli settlement. We were told that there would be a waterfall inside...

Being the gung-ho macho happy campers we are-we trodded off. Full armour-thinking it would be a piece of cake to find that waterfall inside.


Who knew that the hike in would be this lasak?? We took almost 2hours and even almost got lost hiking in, baggages and all. And throughout the entire hike, we only one miserable Orang Asli who didn't want to talk to us.

After what seemed like an eternity of never ending green, we finally heard the glorious sound of water flowing! You can imagine the joy. AHhh....I've never seen a more refreshing sight. Trust me, it looks better in real live.

We took awhile to set up camp. I made my own tent, with the guidance of Ms Michelle Indiana Jones of course. She's a Ranger okayyy...don't mess with Rangers. They do more than sell brownies! This is our dinner table.....we only had one miserable lamp to light up the entire jungle. SO it was pretty dim, realy why it looks so bright in the picture is cos i have a damn good camera =P See, the best thing about eating in the dark is that, everything tastes better when you can't see what you are eating. Really. And this, my friends is what happens to you when you go Russia. Tsk tsk....I should send this to his Mother.


We mostly ate [from 6pm-12am!] and skinny dipped [u seriously have to try it], tee hee....and we tried to play chor tai dee in the dark, but we soon enough realized how pointless that was. Then we moved on to prying secrets from each other which proved futile cos there wasn't anything valuble to dig, to begin with. We slept and everyone woke up, no wild boar attack! YAY!....and there we are. Happy campers. It was nice, leaving the world behind for 2days. I'll galdly do it again anyday...

The Move

So we've finally decided to move cyber house. Xanga is too inadequate. Human's wants and desires increase with age. So that's why I'm here. I'm hoping Blogspot will deliver. XiaXue uses blogspot too!! LOL.

So thanks for making this move with me. I've been blogging for awhile. And, I still don't know what the real point of blogging is. Ah well. But if it makes me happy. Why not?

Ok, lets have a re-introduction.

The Top Ten of Tan :

  1. I love Jesus, and I am unashamed of the gospel and I go to People's Park Baptist Church in SS4
  2. My name is Lisa Tan X Y [I don't like to reveal my last 2names. So yeah]. And I am proud to be a Tan!
  3. I am twenty years and eight months old
  4. I like to read, play piano, and walk-walk
  5. My favourite food is Banana Leaf because I am crazy about Papadums
  6. I teach piano to kids, and I am also studying. It gets tough balancing both sometimes
  7. I live in section 4. That's near Assunta Hospital
  8. I am afraid of leeches, slides, and bridges with holes in them
  9. I love my family, even though we fight alot and The Mother is champion nagger. Blood is still thicker than water.
  10. I am a big fan of Marty Sampson & Jack Johnson

Right, that's too much information for now. I prefer to keep a low profile. U know, stalkers and all. Heh. Till next time. Toodle Doo!
