It was just a freaking and awesome weekend in Campos do Jordão!!!!!!! Had so much fun there celebrating my host fathers birthday and I had a whale of a time there........We leave Guarulhos on Saturday at 12.30 pm and arrived there at about 2.30 pm....We had some problems looking for our hotel as my host mother booked it through the Internet!!!!! After going for a free half an hour ride going round and round the city......FINALLY, my mom decided to call the Hotel!!!*Sigh* Ok....found it and we unloaded our stuff and straight away we leave for Lunch.....I was just famished....could even hear the gastric juice churning in my stomach....Anyway, We went to a bem chique restaurante (porch restaurant) and I had Fettucini.....and some rice,meat,fried bananas and of course my can´t forget GUARANA ANTARTICA (typical Brazilian soft drink) with a piece of orange and ice......Delicious Lunch! After Lunch we walked round the city and of course my mom..the first thing she always does best....SHOPPING! *Wink* Walking around the whole day until dark than we got back *Detail......Brazil gets dark at around 6 pm* My host sister and I went for dipped in the rather small but comfortable so called heated indoor swimming pool but actually it was freezing cool! Dinner was marvelous and the food was just satisfying!!!!!* No comments*....As usual, went out with my mom SHPOPPING again...She bought like just 2 pairs of boots that cost about R$700.....My god! I was just so stunned!!
Sunday.....Breakfast went on well and lunch too....After Lunch,we went on a train ride to another city and the whole journey took about 2 hours..to go and to come back.It was just amazing looking at all the beautiful scenery as I told you guys that Campos do Jordão is like Genting highlands In Malaysia and so it is really high up in the mountains and there are lots of greens!!!>>>The train ride ended at about 4 pm and soon after it,My sister and I wanted so much to up to the mountain by the teliferico....so my dad gave us some money and off we went...I never sat on this b4 and it was just so thrilling. By the time we got down it was already almost dark...we rushed back to the hotel to get ready for my host fathers birthday dinner..After getting ready and stuff,my 2 host sisters,my host mother and I went down to the lobby to wait for the birthday boy...We sat there waiting and waiting and finally my host sis decided to go up to the room to checked things out.*Gosh* My host dad was feeling so ill...he was literally lying on the bad speechless...Felt so sad for him but thank God he was almost well the next day.!!!!His birthday dinner was a disaster and for that we just ate Pizzas but I was happy!!!Next day, woke up early and got ready to go back to good old Guarulhos.............Campos Do Jordão never to be seen again by VERA TAY JIN MEI from Malaysia!!!

Can´t believe that I turn 6 month here in Brazil and I just can´t believe that time just flies!!!! I was supposed to confirm my flight back to Malaysia yesterday but *sigh* my counselor forgot to give me the air ticket which he is keeping!!!!Anyway, I´m gonna do it after I blog!!!! I´m so happy because on my way back to Malaysia I´ll be stopping in Paris because my route goes to Paris and I´ll be meeting my Uncle there who is coming over from London. I´ll fly on the 10th March 2005 and reach Paris on the 11th and we´ll spend the weekend In Paris and go to London by the Eurostar train which goes under the English channel .Most probably I´ll spend a week there before I return to Paris to catch my return flight back to Malaysia.....So, ppl,my fans,my friends, my close ones....be prepared to see me back in Malaysia by the 20th or latest 21 March 2005...Can´t wait to see everyone back in Malaysia in one full piece!!!
Last Tuesday( 21 September 2004) , It was International Peace day and 12 of us Exchange students including me went for a Parade in the center of Sao Paulo......It was just awesome! All of us with our different flags from our own country just made the whole event more colourful and cheerful...I even met a famous Brazilian actor (Raul Cortez) who was giving a speech on the stage and all the exchange students just went crazy taking lots of pictures of him!!! He is currently acting in a Brazilian sop-opera which I never fail to watch every night....SENHORA DO DESTINO ......Finally, my ability to understand sop -operas are good enough..so I decided to watch it... It´s just excellent ! Anyway,where was I.....Ooooooo...okok I was until when those freaking students (Including me) all trying to get his pic..and after it was a parade of all different cultures in Brazil from Japan, China, Colombia, Peru,The Jews and etc.... Guess what? After the event...All of us decided to go to 25 de Março......A very popular and cheap place to shop for anything you want....like earrings,clothes,shoes and etc!!! Everyone bought lots of stuff including tons of pins which we found from a store that had all types of pins to hang on our blazer...GREAT! This weekend I am traveling again to Campos do Jordao .....a very posh part of Sao Paulo and the whole family is celebrating my host fathers birthday there....Can´t wait for tomorrow but before tomorrow comes., Afterwards I´ll be going for my host sisters University Party at 4 O´clock and I guess It will be so fun...This month is just full of activities and I hardly spend any weekend at home....There just has to be some kind of party or outing during the weekends...Hai!!!! *TIRING*...............

I´ve just fallen in love with this awesome country and the my host family just treats me like their very own daughter.. How will be able to leave Brazil in a happy mood:( I still can vividly remember the day when I just arrived...I was thinking to myself ..one year such a long time but without knowing it 6 months has past and the remaining 6 months will soon past very quickly and *wink* I´ll be back home in Malaysia!!!!* SOB SOB*
Ok.......lets talk about something good now....Today,I just found out that there is another Malaysian gurl here in Brazil.!!!!!!!!!!* Happy* but she is staying in another state.We chatted on MSN and *wow* I just couldn´t believed it!!! We planned to meet next month in Falls do Iguaçu.Can´t wait till than...

A group photo of most of the exchange students in Sao Paulo in front of the Municipal theater
Well, Last weekend was just awesome!!!!!!!!! We all had a city tour round the center of Sao Paulo and not only that......I had the greatest opportunity to get to know all the new exchange students that just arrived last month. On Saturday, I went to the cinemas to watch Ferrenheit 11 September together with a bunch of exchange students and it was really great!Eventhough there were 2 Americans and they really hated the show.hahahahhaha.Well,Its normal.George W.

Guess what? I received a parcel from my dad yesterday sending me 30 pins and finally the most awaited MAGGI ASAM LAKSA Instant noodles from MALAYSIA...huhuhuh!!!!!!!My dad is also sending me some MILO ..........Gosh! Its been like 6 months since I last touched Milo and Maggi Asam Laksa!!!!!! It really feels like *Home Sweet Home * now.Thanks Dad....I love you!
Anyway, last Monday was Independence Day of Brazil and I actually wanted to go for the parade but suddenly this year they canceled it in my city and I really felt so disappointed.*Sob Sob*!!!!!! Finally, this Saturday I will be meeting all the new exchange students here in Sao Paulo and we´ll be having a Sao Paulo city tour.....I guess it will be so much fun!!!! I will be also spending a night in Emily´s house( USA)....and It will be a blast getting to hang out with other exchange students!!!!!!!!!!beijossssssssssss.
