I blog too!

Moving

2009-05-13T20:14:00.003+08:00

Dear friends & readers,

I've moved my blog to wordpress at

xinminc.wordpress.com

I've always thought of moving cause there are certain features in wordpress that are not featured in blogger. Not that I'm a pro blogger but I sort of prefer wordpress, for now.

So, I'll be updating at wordpress. =)

See you guys there!!

The 'I-dunno-what-title-to put' Post

2009-05-09T15:50:00.004+08:00

I am back from the camp.

It wasn't as bad as I had expected I would say.
Thought we'll be going outdoors and the camp would involve some really physical trainings but it was done in the college itself, so nope, no tigers.

Nevertheless, a lot of critical thinking was involved and they were constantly playing mind games with us. Lack of sleep and tasks to be done with only one night given was a little stressful but my fellow groupmates were all still laughing, sharing jokes, so yeah, we had fun in between as well. =)

I got selected but the perkampungan only starts next Friday, so I'm home now. Will make full use of my break;gonna sleep, sleep and sleep then squeeze yumcha sessions in between.

Actually, I wrote this to say this out. I'm hesitating as this is quite personal and I don't feel like disclosing any names yet. Everything is still uncertain so no point pouring all the details here. Many would say then, no point posting it up. I'm like hinting but not tellling. Like it or not, this is my blog and I have the rights to write anything here. I won't just write something for the sake of inviting more readers to this dead blog of mine.

It is about a guy. Yes, I've been mentioning him just a little in my posts before this.

Anyway, I only told some of my really close friends this person's identity not because those whom I didn't tell are not my preferred friends, it is just that like I mentioned, no point telling something uncertain. I myself am not sure if I really like this guy. I don't think I know him enough as we rarely talk. Anyhow, those few times we spoke make me feel really comfortable and nice. And I'm always looking forward to talk to him again.

Thing is, this kind of good feeling will usually just go off after some time but this time, though I was sort of stressed out and occupied when I was in the camp, I constantly think of him. Getting short messages or just news about him from another friend makes me smile. Yes, this is very mushy, I know.

Problem is, friends who know about this don't think it is a good idea. Me and my good feeling I mean. They have their logic and reasons for this. I'm just not the type of girl that a guy would fall for once they know me. I've never been labelled as attractive or anything close to that. I'm not being humble or harsh on myself, these are facts. I don't smile to strangers or friends I don't really know and talking to them would take some time. I won't even bother greeting people I don't like while some would take the courtesy to be nice and smile, at least. I'm just...mean. Yes, mean is the right word.

And this guy is, from what most of us know, someone who takes looks pretty seriously. Shallow, I know but who doesn't judge one from their looks? It's just that some that are not so attractive turns out to be really nice people, so they become pretty to you after some time. I know this is getting confusing but wth, I hope you guys get it lah.

This is why I wrote this post. I feel...wrong. Like I insist on jumping into the water, just because I like doing that though my dear ones keep telling me how dangerous it is and I would hurt myself when I fall. I don't know what to do.

To take the safe route and never know what might just happen.

Or to go against the norm and take chances.

I don't know.

Will be back

2009-05-06T18:28:00.000+08:00

This is a scheduled post.

Going to be away for PM (not Prime Minister, wtf) camp from 6th till 8th May.

Then on the 8th I will know if I am chosen. If I am chosen, I won’t be around till the next semester break. Hopefully I’ll get to sneak out every once in a while, so that I’ll get to see the BFFs. Hehe.

So, do wish me luck, don’t get lost in the forest, don’t drop into the mud, don’t get eaten by tigers (Haha, just kidding, no tigers lahh). And don’t miss me too much! Will update again as soon as I find the time. =)

Family Outing

2009-05-04T17:32:00.005+08:00

Yesterday I went and visit my grand aunty and her family, who’s currently at Sentul East.

Also got to meet my dear lil’ cousin sister, Qii Qii (pronounced as Kay Kay). It’s been a while since I last saw this little darling. =) She is quite a distant relative when you draw the family hierarchy thing out but she is more like a sister to me cause her grand mother and mother stayed with my family for almost 15 years. Her grand mother was my nanny.

This little girl’s got attitude, I tell you! Haha. When I take my phone out and tell her to smile, she’ll give me that “What? Go away! Don’t disturb me” look. Either that or she’ll purposely jump and move around so that I won’t get to take her picture. -.- Testing my k550i capabilities. Ish.

#1. Blur

#2. Blur again -.-

#3. Slightly better cause her maid was tying her hair

#4. Quite a dark one but at least not that blur.

She damn cute right?? =)

Then Fei and I accompanied her to Gymboree.

#5. Giving me the beh song face

#6.

#7. "Kay, Kay, smile, smile..."
*Hmph*

#8. Finally got it!

#9. Qii Qii with Kao Biew Yee going in Bangsar Village

#10. Bangsar Village

#11. Qii Qii at Gymboree

#12. Qii doing some art work

#13. Adults gotta wear socks into the place

Then we went Dim Sum for dinner nearby Kao Biew Yee's new house.

#14.

Only took pictures towards the end of dinner cause I was starving, no time to take pictures of the food. =)

Unfortunately, the day ended with tears cause my aunt sort of scolded Qii Qii for playing with the food leftovers.

#15. Even when she's crying she looks so adorable!!

Upon seeing this picture, she cried even louder. Haha!

I want to...

I want to know if there's anyone out there with answers to any of my questions.

Oh, there’s one more. But she’s no longer available.

#8. Mandy Au

She’s the one of the lucky girls in college, in fact I can say she’s the luckiest cause she’s attached to one of the good-looking *ahem* seniors in college. And he has a car too!!!

Changed Person

2009-04-30T17:45:00.005+08:00

This post is seriously random and unplanned. As usual, I spent the whole day surfing the net and since it is the third day, I am seriously getting sick of the Internet.

Just now, the BFF from Penang sent me an MMS. After some configuration thing-y, my phone can now retrieve MMS-es!!!

But, that is not the reason why I blogged. Thing is, Loi sent me this...

I am officially a, what they call, Buta IT.

I have no idea why that picture turns out terbalik. I tried rotating, editing over and over again but it still ends up like this.

Turns your heads around or turn your screens 180 degrees or simply edit it yourself lahh.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HENG RIGHT!!!!

He told me he was going to dye his hair earlier, red somemore and I kept telling him not to do it.

Thank God it is not as bad as I thought. But according to him it’s because he’s in indoors that’s why it is not that bright.

His hair is one thing. I am sort of freaking out because of his pose also, wtf wtf wtf.

Since when you learn to take such pictures, Heng?!?!?!

With someone else’s phone some more!!

Labuan changed my BFF. *sobs* Give him back!!! XD

Can't wait for you guys to be back so I can make fun of Heng. =)

17th-27th April 2009

2009-04-30T00:39:00.007+08:00

Remember I mentioned I was going to blog about the random trips/things/outings I did/went during the exam week?

I realized I didn’t consistently take pictures everyday cause

everything was so routined that week. And it's the same group of people;

Chai, Pak Koon, Ang, Louise, Elen, Wei Kuan and me.

We’ll wake up around noon then meet at the dining hall (Dewan Makan, DM) at 12.30pm then lunch then we’ll all walk to the library (on weekdays) or other studying spots then we’ll spend the whole day there then leave around 6pm for dinner and some time for ourselves then meet up again at 8pm then study until we’re sleepy, usually around 4 or 5 in the morning.

Hardworking leh?

Hehe. But, of course we fit in fun whenever we can (which is quite often cause Louise and Ah Chai are happy people when they are together, wtf).

Pictures from some special days cause got some reasons which I forgotten what that made me feel like taking pictures. Haha.

19th April 2009
Louise wasn’t back yet.
Went walking around UM with Elensha cause I’ve never been to the varsity lake…

What? That lake is far lah!

#1. During the day we were at Dataran Za'ba, doing the obvious.

We really didn't pose ok!

We bumped into Allen on our way to the lake.

He was going around UM taking pictures as he’s leaving back to UNIMAS soon.

We decided to walk together, the more the merrier!!

#2. Elensha, on our way to DTC

#3. DTC...

#4. ...also got exam mood

#4. Elen

Oh oh!!! There was actually a small pond in front of DTC with a LOOOOT of nice fishes!

I know lah, UM people sure say I outdated but who goes to the DTC for fun just to see if they have fishes. *defensive*

#5. Fishies in the surprisingly clear pond/pool/whatever you call it lah =)

#6. Elen & Allen

20th-26th April 2009
The Nothing-Special-So-We-SS Days

#7. Chai

#8. Before, After

#9. Ang, the most hardworking one

#10. For some reasons I like taking pictures of her!! XD

#11.

Oh, picture #11 got story one!

Chai was having a hard time studying his notes

cause he claimed that they were too boring so we decorated it!!!

27th April 2009
KL Outing Day
To buy Chai and Pak Koon’s bus tickets

#12. Lemon Boy

#13. Boss, sedekah-lah, boss

#14. Ok! I give up!

#15. Lai lai, pegang tangan.. Takut nanti kena culik la har...

#16. The famous Cat Eye Drink in Petaling Street

#17. Lost child in Pudu Bus Station

#18. Loo and I

I look kinda naked in picture #18, wtf.
Cannot blame me ok…
I got no more clothes to wear cause it was the end of the week already.
Belum basuh baju. Hehe.

So yup, that pretty much wraps up my exam week for the second semester. I'm only home for two days and I miss college already.. *sigh*

Mission 003

2009-04-28T13:56:00.009+08:00

Date: 26th April 2009
Venue: Somewhere around PJ
Task: To go Curry WanTan Mee again

I know, I know, what’s the big deal, right? It is almost the same as Mission 001.

Thing is, this time a total of 14 of us went.

Fourteen!

First years in UM are not allowed to bring their cars into uni so we had a little difficulty arranging transport.

So, in the end, we went with two cars and three motors!

#1. Loo & Chai
-Motor No.1-

#2. Pak Koon & Wei Kuan
-Motor No.2-

#3. Super super senior, Adrian & Lemon Boy, Ang
-Motor No.3-

#4. Wei Kuan

I think this is the first time I put up his picture here, hence, a short intro..

Chua Wei Kuan,

Sifu

Well known for his built and intimidating body

After a while, we began our journey!

I don’t know why but this time I was super excited!

Probably I was really hungry and this time is probably the last time we get to hang out like this for this semester. =(

#5. Sampat Ang sempat pose somemore.. -.-"

#6. Berhati-hatilah di jalanraya...

#7. US!!

#8. Hehe.. This two really make full use of the opportunities

to be this close once they're out of college =)

#9. Chai

Purposely woke him up for this. Hehe.

Many friends from other colleges were telling us how envious they are with our college because the seniors mix and hang around with juniors without that certain gap.

Not trying to show off, but...

3rd’s seniors are indeed full of nonsense and fun, just like the juniors! XD

#10. Fun seniors that came and ber-gila with us

#11. Incomplete group pic

#12. How and Allen

#13. Aiyoh Jimmy... Why leave Wei Lun out like that... =)

#14. Fourteen bowls of Curry WanTan Mee!!!

#15. With the taller super super senior

#16. Adrian's angels? XD

It was another memorable outing with the fellow college mates.

Gonna miss the few of them who is not going to be around next semester.

Back!!

2009-04-27T16:35:00.002+08:00

I'm back!!!

No, I don't mean that I haven't been updating enough or something but the 'me' I thought I lost earlier is back!!

I know what I want and how am I going to get it.

A big thank you to friends who supported me when I was down.

And not forgetting Xinyi, Fei, Mom and the rest at home who are always there to cheer me up through short visits with apples and Twisties, phone calls or even SMSes. I'm glad I didn't go too far away from home.

Will update on the random trips I went during the exam week soon.

Oh yah, someone else is back too!! Guess who?

I'll give you guys some clues...

She's short and loves to call herself adorable but we prefer to label her as a dumb black.

Yes.. This full of nonsense girl is back.. XD

Reason?

2009-04-22T04:26:00.002+08:00

I just came up from the Bilik TV in my hostel, after talking to Wei Kuan, Pak Koon, Louise and Elensha.

We planned to study but the list of people who gets to stay in college just came out and what do you know, we all started talking about it.

Anyway, I managed to get over the anger I felt earlier for seeing names which I haven't even heard before on the list but a few active ones don't get to stay, so I am not going to talk about it anymore here.

Reason for this post is...

I feel a little lost lately.

Like I don't know what is the point to study at such last minutes but I need to, cause I haven't even been listening in classes.

Or why the hell am I so dumb that I need 3 hours to finish up one, just one small part of Public Administration.

And... I don't know...

Something is really disturbing me but I can't exactly say what it is, cause I don't even know what.

At times, though I'm walking with a big group of close friends, I still feel terribly lonely.

It is not their fault at all, they are really nice people, nothing's wrong with them, it's ME.

To study or to not study?

2009-04-18T01:42:00.006+08:00

Yes, I know I should be studying right now but I am so addicted to going online, I need to online for at least an hour a day now.

And I felt like blogging since this afternoon, so yes, I am going to crap again.

I studied right after lunch and dinner today. Very productive cause I just started on my Hubungan Etnik today and I’m left with only four more chapters! I actually allocated another two more days to complete it but since I’m almost done (going to complete it after this) I’m going to have more time to revise on my Macro!!

But, the problem is, I still got Law, Public Administration and Statistics to revise on.

I’m only half way, no, quarter-way through Law.

About the same for Stats.

And nothing at all for Public Administration.
I don’t even attend this subject’s classes cause the teaching materials are all in English but the lecturer lectures in BM.

And no one gets any form of knowledge from him, the only thing we might get from him would be his saliva cause he sprays saliva as he speaks.

Literally!

Anyway, random pictures ahead…

#1. In my hostel's study room, or better known as Bilik Bacaan (BB)

#2. Hehe. Not bad kan, my table quite neat kan!

#3. I know how random this seems but this phone has a story of its own.. XD

#4. ...what...I'm proud of my notes ok!!

#5. Something to help keep us awake..

#6. *ahem* Looks like the chocs aren't really helping

#7. Chai's been working really hard for finals...

...ok lah, I made him pose one actually. XD

Shit. Should I continue studying or go to sleep and wake up early to finish it tomorrow morning cause I'm a bit tired now?

Back to School

2009-04-15T17:55:00.007+08:00

Just got back from SMK Seafield!!!
Yup, went back to collect my STPM cert.

Oh yah, for those of you who haven’t collect your certs, do go and get it quick. They are going to send them back to MPM, I don’t know when though.

And I tried getting for Loi, Heng, Yeem, Carol and the rest but the clerk won’t let me. She said if you guys are not around, only your parents can collect on your behalf. Cis.

Played around with XinYi’s new camera. Hehe. She’s so gonna kill me.

No Fair!!

2009-04-15T00:22:00.002+08:00

My finals starts this Friday and I'm not even half way through my syllabus. So, I decided to come home cause I know I will have to study when I'm at home.

But just not when I called Pak Koon, I heard the noise behind and the very familiar voices...

THEY ARE GOING FOR ANOTHER BLOWING WATER SESSION AT 7TH!!!!

Huhu~~

I feel so sour out of a sudden. *eat lemon wtf* I know it doesn't exactly apply this way, this term I mean but I'm trying to say the feeling lah. ISH. Damn tak puas.

Can't blame them though. I should have known this would happen cause they have been blowing water a lot lately. Last night spent about 6 hours on solid talking. Haha!

Oh, what is blow water?

Its direct translation from a term in cantonese, "chui sui". Haha. It means something like talk nonsense or crapping or somewhere there. =)

Ok, I got to attend to my Macro now. I don't start any sooner then I'm so gonna screw my papers.

For the one in Labuan...

2009-04-14T00:00:00.009+08:00

Its someone’s big day today!
And this someone is really special to me.
We’ve known each other for more than 3 years now.

3 years, not really that long but somehow, we managed to bond.
We even tried going out together but nah, our friendship is definitely more enjoyable than that.
So, who said a guy and a girl can never be just friends? =)

Together, we went to Port Dickson with a few others and that was the trip that brought us closer. Thank God you a bit thick faced that time and said you wanted to join us yourself. Hehe.

#1. PD trip

Our schooling days. How can I not mention them. Haha. This BFF happened to be my classmate too. Who disturbs me during Maths all the time. Ish.

Together, we skipped classes to collect newspapers,

#2. Newspaper collection days

Went on random school trips together,

#3. FRIM trip

Bullied Loi together at times, usually Loi and I bully him one

#4. US

Then, we graduated from school.

And spent almost every night together with Loi during that 6 months break.

Random trips to the shopping mall,

#5. With the super SS midget BFF from U.S.

Langkawi,

#6. By the i-forgot-what-is-the-name beach
#7. In the airplane on the way back to KL

And CLUBS!!!

#8. woohoo~~~ I miss clubbing with you guys..

Then finally, the BFFs had to be separated. I know, I know, I should be at Labuan with you.. its not my fault I’m the…okay, not going to repeat that line again. XD

When I was at the airport to send you off, I really felt like crying. Its not fair for you guys to leave me alone here. Subang’s not the same without you guys.
But, I managed to hold back and kacau you. I know you don’t like emo girls. Hehe.

#9. SEE!! I was still smiling!! =)

Anyway, Heng, happy 21st! Hope you’ll have a great celebration there in Labuan that most probably involves liquor, so do take care of yourself k. Loi and I not there to jaga you so you better behave. =)
And please put an end to your singledom so that I’ll get a free meal Loi and I can stop worrying about you.
And, Heng, I know how ignorant I can be at times especially when I’m busy, so I’m sorry if I disappear every now and then. I may not call or SMS but that doesn’t mean I no longer care about you guys. You still must SMS to update me on Labuan k!!!
Lastly, happy 21st birthday again dear BFF. Miss you loads! *HUGS*

Pictures that make me smile everytime I see them. Hope they brightened up your day too!

p.s. I curi-ed these pics from FB. Hehe. So, thank you Jess and Drey for tagging!!

Rindu...

2009-04-11T01:29:00.004+08:00

#1. My short ah sou, Loi and I

#2. Us

#3. Us again.. =)

#4. With HENG!

I miss the BFFs badly.

I think it’s because I’m back at Subang.

I can imagine Audrey screaming "Why you go post pics of me looking like that???" already. =)

The Last Gathering

2009-04-09T14:47:00.003+08:00

Every clubs have their meetings and for CCC, we call them family gatherings cause the concept of CCC is more towards family relationship, whereby seniors will be first year's parents, grandparents and for some lucky family, they have great grandparents too ( I call 'Ah Zhor' here).

So yea, last night was the last one for this year. It was PTH's celebration, the routined birthday celebrations, and final year seniors' farewell as well. Then, towards the end, they played back the multimedia that was shown to us in the first family gathering. Somehow, it left me with quite a big impact. When I first saw it about a year ago, I had no idea what the seniors were doing, and even found them acting pretty lame and SS. But last night, I laughed really hard to their jokes.
And I came to realise, its really coming to an end.

The first year in uni.. Its ending in a few weeks.

And I am pretty excited actually, to see what is going to happen next semester.
With all the juniors, I'm sure the guys are going to start grooming themselves up during the holidays to impress those poor lil' 'mui mui chai'.. Hehe.

And I'm most excited about the husband-wife thingy they do in CCC.

You see, second years will be paired up as husband and wife (ves) to become parents to the juniors.

Haha. I myself am hoping Ang and Loo Loo will remain in the same family and become a couple. Can't wait to see them fighting and quarreling like those married couples in comedies. HAHA.

But, unfortunately, some of us might not get to stay next semester due to the limited spaces in 3rd. *sigh*
I do hope most of the ones who really wants to stay will stay. 'Blowing water' sessions will be so different without any of them. *sigh*
And seniors who will be graduating this semester... *sigh* Its a good thing of course that you guys are finally graduating.. But I'm going to miss you guys.. Adrian, Siew Li, Yee Chia and the rest.. *sigh*
And what if I don't get to stay??? *SIGHHH*

Anyway, to get to the next sem, I now have to deal with my finals first.
I better stop now cause I'm going to have a test in an hour.
Wish me luck!!

I Hate.

2009-04-07T02:26:00.004+08:00

I don't know why I'm feeling rather low lately.. Not exactly unhappy but I just can't crack up silly jokes and laugh about them, those sort of thing these few days...

Even just now, a few friends and I went for ABC and keropok lekor again but I wasn't really in the mood to talk... For what reasons, I seriously don't know..

Anyway, the whole point of putting this up is not only to make me feel just slightly better for letting this out but to say sorry in advance too, to my uni friends. I might be a little bad tempered or not exactly in the mood to be crazy so I'm saying sorry in advance if I do upset you guys.

*sigh*
I hate expectations. I hate goals. I hate. I hate. I hate.
I hate myself for setting such high goals for myself and not having the semangat to work hard and achieve them. I hate.
I hate myself for being so concern about everything and everyone when people think I'm being plain kepoh.
I hate myself for not finding a way out to get out of this hate-feeling.

WHY

2009-04-04T03:17:00.003+08:00

I don't always get to spot the right guy. Like what Heng says, somehow, I just choose the wrong guys to like..

But nope, not this time.

When I got to know him better, I knew he was the one.

The one I've always dreamed for.

I've always disliked to walk alone and this semester, I walk to classes alone most of the time.

But thank God for him, cause he make my walks so enjoyable. Listening to his voice never fails to make me feel warm and calm.

And when I'm all alone somewhere, all I have to do is to search for his name in my phone and...everything just falls into place.

Thank You for fitting him into my life or else...or else I don't know what is life about....?

But...

But WHY???

Why are You doing this to me???

I don't get the chance to see him often and You're making such arrangements??

Its not fair!!!

Why he has to come on May 2nd this year?!!!

No fair, no fair, no fair!!!

I wanna go LeeHom's concert!!!!! *sob sob sob*

Louise: Excuse me. Don't come so near me lor..

Ah Chai, Chai Xu Kang and Joshua came later and shared their 'taxi experience'. It was really funny at that moment but to think back, it is pretty scary if girls were to be passengers of that stupid driver.

Ok, before I go, try guessing what is this...

p/s: I'm falling more in love with LeeHom! 'Heart Beat' is super nice!

Thank You!!

I AM HAPPPEEEE!!!!

Everytime there is a down moment, the up follows shortly.

My com got hacked, I'm staying up late to finish my assignments, I got a lot more revisions to catch up...

But,

I have my friends with me.

I've always wanted an elder brother whom I can rely on.

I wasn't born with one but someone up there is kind enough to grant me with at least four now to stand by me and watch my back.

I feel so blessed.

So, a big thank you, and I mean a big BIG one to YOU.

Let's not mention names, shall we? =)

The wan tan mee was just average to me but the lame jokes and nonsense talk memang priceless.

ELENSHA FOONG ERN HANG!!!!!

Rain, rain Go Away..

2009-03-26T15:50:00.002+08:00

Its raining like cats and dogs outside and of all days, I forgotten to bring my umbrella today. So, I'm currently stuck in the university's main library.

I was thinking of starting on my Public Administration assignments which dues next Tuesday but I just don't have the 'semangat' to even type a word. Then I thought of reading some of my Law but I'm too lazy to take them from the locker which is three floors below. *sigh* I know, I know, all excuses.. I'm just too nervous and kind of excited about tonight's PTH post mortem and tomorrow night's CC Night.

Hmm.. So, just let me go on with a post with words only. A looot of words cause I got so much in my head now!!!

Firstly, the songs "Shining Friends" and "Padamu Malaysia" kept playing in my head the whole day. Those were the songs my crazy bunch of friends and I performed last night in DTC. We didn't win, not even in the top 5 out of 10 colleges that competed (and probably the last) but who cares?! We enjoyed ourselves so much, we were more like the winners last night, when they announced the results. We did our very famous "Kurshiah Kurshiah 3rd 3rd~" cheer together for no reasons at all. We were just so happy we made it to performing a rather not bad,in fact good show to me after practising for only 10 days! And most of us had no singing experience!

Then, its tonight's post mortem. Despite the assurance I got from Pak Koon, I still feel that I am going to get bombed and most probably will just collapse there. Let's just say even I am disappointed with myself. Others are probably annoyed with the fact that I got such a high post but is not that capable. *sigh* But its all worth actually. I enjoyed every moment shared with the MTs. They are the best people to work and play with. If I wasn't the TP, I would've missed all the fun.

Another thing is a good friend of mine, at least he used to be, suddenly changed. Well, I can't say its out of a sudden also. But maybe I wasn't expecting such a drastic change. If it was last time I would have went up to him and talked about this. But after all the things I've been through in uni, I think I should just keep my mouth shut.

If this isn't on my mind, I so deserve to die. Literally.
My finals are in about two weeks. I am going to sit for my first paper on the 17th of April. And to be honest, I am not prepared for even one subject. Not even Statistics cause I suck in probability. I told myself I am going to get things started this weekend since I'm not going back home. I want to spend more time in uni and feel the pressure cause everyone is starting to study already..

Strangely, I haven't been thinking about guys lately. Not that I'm turning into a lesbo anytime soon but I just don't have that feeling. And yes, if you're a close friend of mine you should know I've always been having crushes and all. Not lately though. Strange. If I grow old as a spinster, Jess, you better accompany me also ok! Since according to you USM there no updates. Haha. Ditch Heng cause I don't think he can tahan being with the two of us 24/7. Ditch Drey also cause she got Danny. Haha!

Ok, I must stop before I start talking anything more nonsense than this. Will upload pictures on my choir competition soon!

25 March 2009

2009-03-25T16:25:00.004+08:00

I overslept this morning and skipped two classes UNINTENTIONALLY. Yes, I often skip classes but this morning, I don’t know what got into me. I actually reset my alarm to an hour later when it rang. I remember doing it but I wasn't doing it on purpose. A new found skill!!!

I still got myself out of bed for Statistics class at 12pm and surprisingly reached there pretty early.

#1. Hehe. I was bored!

#2. I did a bit of Law ok!!

After class, went back college to eat lunch and chatted with a few seniors at the dining hall.

At about 2pm went to the DTC for rehearsals. Oh, did I mention I am in choir?? Yes. Choir. The one with people singing and all.

La la la~

And my competition is tonight. Haha.

Wish me luck!!!

Guy friends...Do they 'disappear' when they find their other half?

Trip to the Gym

2009-03-22T18:09:00.005+08:00

Yes, the title says it all. There are a few things that the Choong sisters haven’t done together before and yes, going to the gym or to simply exercise together is one of it. This is because oldest Choong has this super strong laziness in her until walking is already an exercise to her. And I’m not talking about breeze walk here. -.-

So, Fei had two extra free passes and since all three of us were in the mood to keep fit, we decided to try True Fitness. We were so ‘semangat’ we actually sort of dressed up to go to the gym. Haha. Well, I was more like I had to wear what I wore cause all my clothes are in uni.

Anyway, got there about 9pm, a very super short session with one of the people in True Fitness and off we went to WORK OUT! Haha.

Started off with 20 minutes on the treadmill and then we went and try other facilities after that. The place was rather empty so the three of us tried a bit of everything for a while. I don’t like working out at the gym though. For me, it’s a little boring to jog at the same spot and sweating in an air conditioned place feels rather weird. I prefer basketball games or trainings. =)

Spent about an hour plus then we decided to go cause I was complaining about the boredom and Old Choong is already sleepy (it was 10.30pm only). But of course, we camwhored a little first at the changing room. Hehe.

#1. While waiting for the registration...
Old Choong sempat bring small towel somemore, just to look more semangat-ed -.-

#2. Fei was the only one who enjoyed herself

#3. Girls will be girls...

#4. Fei, Old Choong, Me XD

#5. My super syok-sendiri adik

#6. XinMin and XinFei

P/S: I call my older sister Old Choong cause I must remind people she's the oldest. Everyone thinks she's the youngest! That fella in True Fitness was shocked to see her I/C number...

"You were borned in 198*? I thought your I/C is going to start with 93 or something!"

Damn exaggerated. -.-

A pretty fun experience. =)

Special One

2009-03-20T02:08:00.004+08:00

This is another thing that just popped into my head and I felt like getting it all jotted down here cause I need to let it out but telling someone just don't seem right.

Its just a thought. I'm not expecting anyone to understand or to give me advices, that's why I think its better to let it out here, as I'm more like talking to myself here.

Do you have a special someone, may it be a close friend or an acquaintance, who is just somehow so special to you that he/she will always have this special spot in your heart?

That eventhough you guys barely keep in touch, looking at his/her pictures gives you this warm, nice feeling?

That everytime someone new "comes along", you tend to compare the new one to the special one?

And that everytime you see his/her pictures with his/her special someone, you feel like crying though its not exactly sad that you feel?

Confusing yea?

I'm confused too.

Hmmm.. I wonder..

A totally unrelated picture.. XD

I Want YOU

2009-03-19T16:32:00.006+08:00

I feel so tortured right now!!!

I have this weird craving for preserved fruits, or 'assam' as I call it, all the time.

Sometimes I crave for it so much, I'll just drive to the Summit USJ cause there is a stall there that sells my favourite assam.

But now that I'm in uni, I cannot just go to Summit to get it!!!

And I'm craving for it badly!!!

They should have delivery for assam, or something like that.

Huhu~

To satisfy my cravings I look at pictures instead, and imagine...

hmmm...their sweetish sour taste..

...Such torture!!

#1. Not one of my favourites but good enough..

#2. Dried strawberries!!

#3. My version of heaven...well, part of it.. XD

#4. Oh dear assam, will YOU just teleport yourselves here, pleeassee???

Any kind human out there who is willing to deliver assam into UM?

Tuesday, 17th March 2009

I was sleeping since 2 pm, shortly after lunch as I was having a really bad flu. I went ‘unconscious’ for about 3 and half hours later, and checked my phone, as usual. There was a message from a friend at about 3 pm asking if I had handed in the form yet. The application form to be PM.

Then, I replied,

“No, was sleeping since 2”

He replied shortly after that,

“Today last day le. Now go send la.”

I hesitated for a while. I thought about the reasons for me to not sign up immediately and replied,

“Nevermind le, office also close edi…”

He sent back,

“Tmr u try pass up again c can or not la.”

Then I started thinking again.

What if I really let this go? Will I look back and regret next time?

I felt this heavy, uncomfortable feeling inside almost at once. I quickly changed and went to the office downstairs. Fortunately, though it was close, one of the committees that was in charged of this PM intake was there so I handed it to her instead.

I feel so relieved.

I still think that this opportunity only comes in university and as for me, since I’m doing a 3 year programme, I only have this one chance to be a PM.

BFFs, I’m sorry. I will try to meet up when ever I get the chance to do so, if I am selected.

I promise.

How True!!!

2009-03-15T02:41:00.003+08:00

Another post for today cause I just did a personality test and OMG, damn freaking accurate.

Answers:

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you. (Hehe!)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes. (Hmm.. Maybe looks aren't really that important.. But cannot be too fugly lah, wth)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love. (haha.. Explains why my previous relationships don't last that long..)

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (Yup!)

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. (Better to take care of myself than relying on others, making me a burden to them)

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Go try if you're free!

If Only I Could Turn Back Time...

2009-03-15T01:45:00.002+08:00

Those times...

When we sit down and tell lame jokes,

stay up all night just to complete the tasks given,

to live up to expectations,

to keep each other company,

to listen to each other's complaint,

to console one another,

to lighten the atmosphere,

to keep peace when another yells,

to laugh again when he laughs again,

to waste money on phone bills just to make confirmations,

to learn from mistakes; all part of discovering oneself,

to contribute in making PTH a success...

How I wish I could turn back time and make it stay...

Doubtful

2009-03-13T15:08:00.002+08:00

#1. Part of table #73
#2. Pak Koon and I

#3. Our trademark XD

#4. All hyped up

#5. Coll mates

I just saw these pictures in Facebook that were tagged by Belle, goodness!! Ben's DSLR is really damn cool!!! The pictures all actually look different!!

Anyway, I'm home again which explains why I can update a post with pictures. Had pan mee for lunch and its damn sedap but I'm hungry again now.. *sigh* I'll put on the weight I lost during the preparations for PTH in no time.

By the way, I got another dillemma at the moment.

My hostel has this kinda thing called 'Pembantu Mahasiswa' (PM). What they do is they are sort of like the facilitators for Orientation when the next semester starts.

For some reasons, I feel like joining them. I just think it will be fun, taking care of the juniors and all cause when I just got into 3rd Coll, I had a pretty rough time. If back then I had a PM who was there to help me out, things would have been better. Also, some of the MTs of PTH are signing up.

But, the problem is, I would have to sacrificice my 2 months break. They want the PMs to stay in college for that 2 months to prepare for the Orientation. I'm not so worried about not having time for holiday, in fact I am happier cause I usually put on weight during holidays. But its just that its the only time I get to spend with my BFFs. Especially the one in US.
So how, my dear BFFs? The closing date for PM's registration is on the 16th this month. I still cannot make up my mind.

Why PTH?

2009-03-12T17:38:00.000+08:00

I just thought of getting my feelings all jotted down here so if ever one day I look back and wonder why the hell I did all these, I know where to find the answer.

I'm always saying how busy I am. I really am. Since the second semester started, especially after CNY, my routines have been like this. I go to class during the day, usually I skip the afternoon classes cause I have to settle my PTH's things then the meetings or preparations all start right after I'm done with my classes. Sometimes, I skip meals because I don't have the time to find food and eat.

So why am I doing all these?

As of now, I feel happy doing them.

The people I work with, especially the MT’s (Higher Board of Directors) are great people. We certainly bonded a lot after PTH and now that it’s done, we feel rather weird to be so free out of a sudden and empty that we are no longer spending time together anymore. We spent a few nights together doing the opening ceremony’s gimmick. Though we were all exhausted, we cracked some pretty lame jokes and did some nonsense stuffs we won’t do when we’re with other people.

PTH is really a good memory from my university life that I doubt I can forget anytime soon now. Sad that its all done and over now, but glad that it was such a great success.

Of Roses, Dresses and A Drunk Friend

2009-03-03T02:39:00.004+08:00

Last Friday (27th February ’09) I had a pretty memorable night.

It was my college’s so called biggest event, MAK which stands for Malam Anugerah Kurshiah. Well, Kurshiah is my college’s name and so Malam Anugerah Kurshiah is an event whereby they award students from my college who did a good job at something, may it be academics wise or college’s projects.

So, obviously I wasn’t one of the award recipients. BUT…..

I RECEIVED ROSES!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!

I know, to most of you its no big deal but its my first time receiving flowers, ok! 11 roses in total, a bouquet of 8 was given by my ‘chi mui’s’ (Louise, Belle, Mandy, Elen, Pak Koon and Ah Chai) who realized I was pretty down lately, one from my beloved room mate!, one from a good friend and coursemate and one from an unknown sender. Before you guys start making assumptions that my whole point of telling is to let people know I got a secret admirer or something, let me just explain. I was and is still thrilled because these people send me gifts just because they want to make me happy or show a little gesture of appreciation. Means, I am not annoying people around me. Hehe!

#1. I really didn't see them coming.. XD

#2. Pak Koon, Me, Mandy and Ah Chai

#3. Belle, Jia Wen, Miko, LOoO and I
#4. Mandy, Khar Khee and I
#5. Alan, Me, Belle, Loo

#6. 3rd Coll's Lengchai and I
#7. Us

#8. Elen, Chian Ming, Ang and the three of us

After MAK, I met up with the guys to celebrate Danny’s 21st. We were supposed to go to MOS but apparently our booking burnt or something so we ended up at Republic. I guess I don’t have to tell also you guys expected we were all on the same mission, which was to get Danny drunk. HAHA! Not easy, I tell you. That fella can drink, so about 8 of us gang up and played this drinking game with him. Along the way, we cheated and kept adding liquor to his drink so finally, he went down. HAHA! Before that, he let all, and I mean ALL his dinner out. Super gross I tell you. Pity those Republic workers. But anyway, Danny did a lot of nonsense stuffs that kept us all laughing especially Aaron. He was the biggest but didn’t even offer to help carry Danny when he could no longer walk. And oh, when Danny was super drunk, we asked him who’s Audrey and he can still answer “My girlfriend”. If you’re reading this Drey, I hope you feel touched! HAHA!

#9. Danny is always happier when he's drunk

#10. Danny, no longer able to stand, while fixing his pants

After sending Danny home and made sure he’s alright, I went back home. A good sleep at home always make me feel better after a long hectic week.

BFFs

2009-03-01T01:36:00.002+08:00

Before you continue reading, this is a very random post. You can stop here and click onto someone else's blog if you don't feel like getting the 'wtf' feeling after reading. =)

I know how some people sometimes used this word too much until I wonder if he or she has so many BFFs but my BFFs are very different.

They are there when I need them most, anytime of the day. Well, maybe two of them sleep pretty late and one is 13 hours behind but they are there whether or not they're busy or unavailable for other people.

They are there when I just needed comfort and they provide me with the best so far though they don't have to do much. Sometimes being close to them is comforting enough. Seriously. Though one of them is my ex HAHA

Oh. Why am I talking about them out of a sudden?

No, its not our 'anniversary' or any special dates. Its just that I was having one of my worst times and again, my BFF brought me back on my feet. Like I mentioned, they don't have to do much. Its been quite a while since we last SMS or call so talking to them again, though it was through MSN made me feel a whole lot better. Unfortunately something is wrong with the MSN I'm using, I got disconnected and is unable to sign in.

Anyways, in short, I'm very lucky to have them. And I hate to be in a LDR with them. Its so difficult!!!

And I'm not saying names cause its damn obvious who I'm talking about. Haha!

2009-02-27T00:31:00.002+08:00

Sorry for not updating for so long. Been really busy with everything. Even now, I'm actually supposed to be studying, but I need a break.

Things here has been really packed. Pesta Tiong Hua is in about 11 days and for some reasons, or maybe its actually normal, a lot of problems start to surface now. I expected an event like this to have its downs and all but I wished all these happened earlier. I mean, why now. When my assignments are all due about the same time and I haven't prepared a single thing.

This semester is really different. For the first time, I sit in a class, and try my very best to keep up with the lecturer but to no avail, I get more lost than before. And this thing keeps going on and on, meaning things that I don't understand keep piling up. I don't know what to do with it. I know I should start doing my own revisions but I really really can't find the time to do so. People all tell me I should prioritize my academic but its not as easy as they say. I can't concentrate at all when I don't get my PTH things done.

And my presentations. I recently got one done in half an hour's time. I hated it but there was nothing I can do.

Not forgetting my assignments. If you've been following my previous posts, I mentioned I've been doing it at the very last minutes. Guess what. I'm still doing last minute work. And I recently started to sort of copy them.

I don't know whats wrong, really. I know I should be doing studying and all but I'm doing all the opposites. I just enjoy the process of making PTH a success so much, I don't have the heart to study or do anything else anymore. And yes, this includes scouting for 'potential' guys. See! Something's really wrong with me!

I feel so confused. I don't know if its worth for me to do all these.

Another Hectic Week

2009-02-08T10:17:00.012+08:00

First week after CNY break in college was eventful! When I got back, the first thing that I look forward to was attending the Chinese Club (CCC)’s reunion dinner. I got some of the pictures from Louise’s phone. Most of it are in Elensha’s camera. See if I can get it anytime soon, k?

#6. Andrew calling for everyone's attention and obviously, he failed..

#7. Group pic!

Did I mention the seniors gave out ang paus too? How nice of them right!! And the best part is they didn't give us money, instead they took the time and effort to prepare individual messages for each one of us! *wet eyes*

#8. Ah Kok, Ah Chai and Pak Koon with ang paus from seniors

#9. Steph, Me, Belle and Kin Wai

#10. Juin, Belle and Looo

Then, the next day, Thursday, we had meeting among the PTH’s MT. MT is what we call the board of directors. So yeah, though it wasn’t official, we still had a pretty long brain storming session.

I went and watched the guy’s basketball match the next day and it was really exciting! I don’t know why I was so nervous about it when I’m not even the player. Though my college lost, I think they put up a good fight. The score wasn’t that close but if you were there and you know a bit about basketball, you’ll know what I mean. I hope the girls will have that kind of spirit some of the guys had since some of them had to sacrifice Valentine’s celebration for it.

Finally, just yesterday, I went to the Jenjarom with the Buddhist Society of University of Malaya.

Busy, busy..

2009-02-05T14:35:00.008+08:00

I'm finally back at UM again and the time table has gotten hectic again. I got Hubungan Etnik's assignment due on 10th March,which is PTH night, KKM's test next week, Macroeconomics's assignment due next week, and Statistics second assignment due the week after and basketball competition on 14th February. Yes, on Valentine's. I'm not affected at all though since I'm date-less anyway on that oh-so-special day. In fact, I can make fun of people who were supposed to go on romantic dates but end up stuck with the match with me. *wide grin*

Okay, I gotta go and start on my Macroeconomics now. Will update soon on my Chinese Club reunion dinner. =)

CNY In Subang

One Last Chance?

I was having a small gathering at home with some relatives and friends when Pei Ling called. She called to inform my Statistics assignment dues on Tuesday, which is the first day of class after the CNY break.

I haven't even read the questions though they distributed the work since the second week of lecture. I don't keep up with dates, I keep thinking 5th February is a long way to go. Now, they even brought the dateline forward.

I'm very disappointed with myself cause I don't usually do such last minute work. And I finally realised I was really distracted since this semester started and I haven't been concentrating in class. I've got a test coming up in just a few weeks time. Whats gotten into me?!?? I am feeling really upset now cause I feel like I'm starting to wander off the path I'm supposed to be walking on. I need to get back on track. Please. To whomever up there who hears me, I'm promising You now that I'll study hard after this. Just give me enough time to finish my assignment. I can't afford to lose any marks. Please!!!

Edited: Just found out that I still got chance in finishing the assignment. Thanks to a friend who was there to lend me a helping hand (more like his copy of assignment)

And I got mixed feelings now. Both my BFFs are going back to Uni again in a few hours and I'm missing them already but I'm really, seriously super happy for 'her'. *big hug!*

CNY In Ipoh

2009-01-29T11:15:00.013+08:00

I wonder...

2009-01-27T23:47:00.003+08:00

How family members can create alliances among themselves and create more drama among them...

How a couple with four kids, the oldest is in her mid 20's, not on talking terms out of a sudden...

How some couple would still poke fun at each other, a way to bring them closer, after 25 years of marriage...

How some sibling would kiss the other sibling's ass cause he's rich..

How my sister and I call each other names right at our faces and still laugh about it...

How a mother would talk bad about her child (ren) behind their back...

How some mothers would go on and on about her child's way of biting muruku with such pride...

How a grandchild would yell back at his grandmother for nagging...

while some wished theirs were still around to nag...

How some celebrated their CNY with abalone, shark's fin's soup, big big mushrooms...yet all of them are in bad mood..

How some had fast food with a whole lot of laughter...

How my dad won RM80 after 15 minutes.

And how I lost RM70 when my bets are at most RM5.

I seriously wonder.

2009-01-26T15:21:00.001+08:00

GONG HEI FATT CHOY!!!

Another Random Thing

2009-01-25T16:40:00.008+08:00

Last Friday, met up with Ryui Bynn and Jessica to go see Ryui Bynn's new house in Bukit Rimau. It is very super duper nice and cosy! The three of us spent about 4 hours there, Jess and I doing the usual stuff-talking, and Ryui Bynn gave this super long lecture to Jess on opening up and being on the stage again. Haha.

Anyway, Jess and I appear to have the same problem in university. For unknown reasons, we seemed to be misunderstood by the people in uni. People in USM think Jess excels in everything she does and she's intimidating. And for me, people think I'm the rich, bossy, spoilt brat.

Okay, let me just explain this. Jess may excel in most of the things that she does but she's not until the extend of intimidating others and she's definitely more to the kind, helpful kinda person. How can someone who smiles so often, sometimes to strangers (which I think is silly) be intimidating?? Isn't it the other way? As in, isn't it easier to approach someone like Jess??

#1. How can someone with such a smile be hard to approach?!?

And me, spoilt? Rich?! Okay, I admit I'm a little bossy but to certain people only lah. Hehe.

I think its so unfair for people to judge us like that even before taking the time to know us better. And I've been trying my best to smile more after I got in Uni as my friends were telling me I don't smile very often last time.

So please, anyone from UM who's reading this, take some time to come and know me better first instead of judging me from a distance. I may look like I'm a little unfriendly but seriously, that one you guys gotta blame my parents. I was born with the unfriendly look, I cannot do anything about that. *nervous smile* And I may reply you guys with short answers but seriously, thats because of the language barrier.

Speaking of language barrier, I may use English most of the time but I'm also trying my best to speak in Mandrin and yes, I am ashame of my incapability to converse well in Mandrin. So do practise it more with me.

Reason I'm doing this is because I'm tired of listening to what people say about me. Although I appear to be okay about what you guys say, I feel a bit hurt actually. Cause you guys are still judging me like that though we've already spent one semester together. Its rather disappointing.

p.s. Sorry yah Jess, I curi-ed your pic from Facebook. Heh.

Its A Girl Thing

2009-01-23T17:17:00.004+08:00

Sorry for not updating! Been really busy with Pesta Tionghua's preparations, UM's Chinese Society's Concert (Da Yao), Actual Month, basketball practices and meetings. Also, I don't know what to blog about nowadays. Its like, there's nothing to tell, no, not nothing to tell, its just that I don't know where to start.

Okay, I'll try to open up one at a time. I'll start with PTH since it has always been my number1 priority.

PTH, nothing out of the ordinary happened. But I'm glad the whole committee, at least the active ones have gotten a lot closer. That's the whole point of organizing it anyways, so yeah, its good.

Da Yao. Its a concert whereby our own UM students compose songs and perform it themselves that night at our DTC. To be honest, I wasn't keen to participate since the start and nope, I'm not one of the performers of course. I was in Marketing Bureau. And I didn't do a good job cause like I mentioned I didn't have the heart for this event at all. Let's just say I'm bad at multi-tasking. I can only focus on one activity at one time which is PTH at the moment.

Actual Month. Another college project that I join for the sake of getting merit marks, so no need to elaborate lahh.

Basketball. We've been practising as much as we can but due the hectic timetable and stupid weather, the most we could do is twice a week. I'm very keen on winning so I'm not giving up yet.

So, yup. These have been keeping me busy for the past few weeks. For some reasons, I don't know what or how to say things that I really feel already. I've never been like this. I used to be that kinda girl that just blahh out whatever thats troubling me and the furthest, highest emo-level I'll go is to cry. But nope, dunno why I'm not doing any of those. In fact, I dunno whats troubling me. There's just this weird feeling, like something heavy is resting on my chest and I can't seem to shake it off. Or maybe its just a girl thing. Period.

A Start

2009-01-08T20:44:00.000+08:00

Today is special cause today marks a start to a lot of things. For instance, its the start of my skip-class-plans for this semester. Yup, I officially skipped Law this morning cause I couldn't force myself out of the bed. And Law is not some morning class somemore, it actually starts at 10.

Also, I had my first late evening class today. Macroeconomics, 6 till 8pm. Ya lah, I know I'm such a crybaby but I've never had any classes this late before! I even skipped dinner because of it!

Then, today, I finally stepped into the room where the blood donation was held and registered to be one of the donors. I've always wanted to do it cause those people came from University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) and not that I have anything against other hospitals, its just that thanks to their blood bank, my grandma was with us for another 5 years. So, I want to do something, sort of like to pay back.

But... I was not qualified.

I've always thought that I'm the most healthy among my siblings, hence I can always take part in stuffs like this but apparently my hemoglobin count in my blood isn't enough. The nurse was telling me its normal actually, its just that they are afraid I'll faint or something during the process. Sigh.

So, yeah, thats basically what happened today.

Me in UM

2009-01-04T19:39:00.022+08:00

With them, its definitely worth to give up all the comfort I find at home

I suppose you all know I'm back at uni and despite the first few days being a little shitty, things are getting a lot better now.

I celebrated New Year's eve in a totally different way this year. A group of us, about twenty or more, had dinner together at our own college's mamak, Sahur. Then we went to our Dewan Tunku Canselor and did random stuffs until midnight struck. The whole point of going is to watch our pengawal keselamatan change this board that writes Universiti Malaya 2008 to 2009. I was quite surprised that my uni people are actually that efficient. Haha.

No fireworks, no snow sprays but with the funny, random bunch, it is one of the most memorable countdowns by far.

Then on New Year's day, Louise, Elensha, Chee Ying, Stephen, Joshua, Ang and I went to Mid Valley to do a bit of shopping and to book rooms for our karaoke plan on Friday (2nd January).

On Friday, a total amount of about 17 of us, juniors and seniors got together and spent the day at Red Box, The Gardens. It was absolutely FUN FUN!!!

#1. Elensha and I, waiting for the guys

#2. Stephen, Louise, Kit Meng, Elen and Hung Tong at the bus stop

#3. Some of the guys

#4. On our way to MidV #5. Seniors who came and bergila with us

#6. Cin Yen, Amy, Emily and Siew Boon#7. HAHAHA. Our own version of 'Complicated'

Last night, about 18 of us went to this Malam Belia Menjelang Tahun Baru Cina 2009. It was a dinner held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre with our very own deputy prime minister and a few other politicians. A few of our own local stars performed as well but honestly, we went for the free food, so there was nothing else more important to us than the food.

I'm Angry at Me

2008-12-31T18:04:00.001+08:00

I had such high hopes when I found out about the news. I was ready to put everything aside and set it as my number1 priority. I was ready to sacrifice anything for it, including my results.

But what I see now is me, watching from the side while everyone's working their asses off.

Me, wanting to help but not knowing how.
Me, feeling all useless, good-for-nothing.
Me, being called the-one-who-does-nothing.
Me, understanding not much of what people want from me.
Me, not knowing what am I for.
Me, hoping I can turn to the usual someone to tell all this to.
Me, finally realising I don't have anyone reliable enough with me now.

So sad, so sad...

2008-12-30T16:07:00.006+08:00

...its a sad sad situation. No, I'm not listening to the song "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word". Its just that I'm back at UM and the situation here is terrible.

Let's start with my first class today.
So yea, I went early to my lecture hall and was expecting my Academic Advisor, Pn. Nurhidayah to turn up for my first Introduction to Business Law class but an Indian man came instead. I was a bit surprised and immediately hope that he can lecture but first thing he did was to change all our classes which is supposed to be every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am to late evening classes. He even wanted to lecture at night but we protested.

So the first class ended after Mr Mahindar or something reminded us that Law is fun if we think it is. wth. As if I'm gonna like Law even just a little by telling myself Law is fun, when its not!!!

Then, my next three classes all cancelled. Okay fine, second one cancel then the last one at 2pm I skipped.

But with good reasons. I had to clean my room.

Which is the main cause of the awfulness right now. UM was so kind that they arranged for our college to be renovated, but the stupid pathetic lifeless workers actually ransacked our things which was locked in our cupboards!!! They stole a pair of shoes of mine and it was clear that they used some of my stuffs which is damn disgusting. I'm gonna bleach everything later.

Then, most of my friends are not in the college, which makes everything harder. I can't go home that soon, not until Friday at least as my parents think its troublesome to fetch me in and out so often.

What a way to start my second semester right.

Just A Short One

2008-12-19T10:19:00.005+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.. Didn't have the access to Internet as Inn Yeow didn't come over last weekend.

Anyway, just a quick update as I'm at Old Taste Kopitiam now to register my subjects for the coming semester.

#1. Been hanging out alot with the BFFs but we're very boring people. We do very laid back and low budget stuffs, which also means boring stuff

#2. Reading the 4th book from The Twilight Saga now, Breaking Dawn

#3. Done shopping again after the first trip and I finally found clothes for CNY!!

#4. Pesta Tionghua's work is starting to get more stressful

#5. Went MOS Euphoria again, but this time with my secondary school bunch and it was ALOT LOT fun!!! -which I might blog about this weekend

#6. .....I can't think of anything else and my parking ticket is gonna due in a while so I better leave before I get a ticket.

Jess-less Day #1

2008-12-08T20:36:00.012+08:00

Hmm… I guess being in Subang without Jess hasn’t gotten that much impact on me as I’ve always been around here when the two BFFs are not around. Heng’s having quite a hard time though, I guess.

Anyway, spent the whole day at Pyramid today, shopping for Chinese New Year clothes. Xinyi also promised to get each one of us something within the budget of RM200. Mom bought herself a new handbag from Guess, Boy got a pair of Adidas and I bought a new purse from Roxy tagged under Xinyi. Today wasn’t really a good shopping day cause I only managed to buy a pair of shorts and hair band while the rest of them got just a few items, not for CNY somemore, so we’re going to shop again this coming Thursday. =)

We lunched at this little shop, I forgotten what’s the name, I know something something Taiwan. Hehe. The food’s just ordinary but the price is very reasonable.

#1. Fei, Xinyi and Inn Yeow at lunch

#2. Fei and I

#3. My teh ais flavoured bubble tea

#4. Mee sua in oyster sauce (not very sedap)

#5. The shop's famous fried chicken (very sedap indeed!!!)

#6. Today's reward =)

Okay, gotta go get ready to teman poor Heng who's feeling terribly lonely without Jess in Subang though I have to sacrifice my reading time.

Results of First Semester

2008-12-07T01:24:00.003+08:00

I went back to dearest, oh so respected University of Malaya yesterday, just to check my results. Others usually wait until they post it up into the net but kiasu me can’t wait to know and drove all the way back. And my results?

Microeconomics- B+
Political Science-A-
Quantitative Analysis-A
Financial Management-A
TITAS-B

I am really disappointed cause I was actually hoping for an A- at least, for Micro and an A for Political Science. I spent a lot of effort in Political Science and its supposed to be my favourite subject. And Micro, I scored 38/40 for my assignment. If it were you, I believe you will think you’re gonna get an A too, won’t you? Then again, I didn't have enough time and left out one essay question. Just like what happened during STPM. pffftttt.

Everyone told me to just get over it and my results are considered good already but really, I was expecting so much more from myself. I know, like most of my good friends say, I have pretty high expectations at times but when its possible to achieve better results, why aim that low?? I’m seriously not trying to brag or what but its really annoying when the person who lets you down is none other than you yourself. And the kiasu me is upset cause many scored higher than me. hmph!

My mom, surprisingly, was telling me that I’ve done well and shouldn’t be upset about it and I can always pull up my pointers by scoring better next semester but she doesn’t know I was planning to do well this semester cause I’m afraid of screwing up next semester with all the college projects coming up and it’s a shorter semester. How lah, how lahhhh… *sighhh*

Taking A Break

2008-12-06T23:07:00.000+08:00

I got the urge to blog out of a sudden. So here I am, taking a break, putting my new love, Twilight aside for a while after bringing it with me the whole day, reading it whenever I got the chance to do so. I even brought it with me to the saloon earlier and spent few hours reading it while waiting for Mom and Fei to get their hair cut after I got mine done.

#1. Fei's new look

#2. Side view

I didn’t take any pictures of my new hair cut cause its nothing special or trendy like Fei’s. I’ve decided to keep my hair long, so all I did was a little trimming.

Anyways, as I’ve mentioned earlier, I went and watched Twilight with a couple of friends, six to be exact. I really really like the movie a lot!!! I know how some think it was rather boring at the beginning and the action wasn’t as incredible as expected, I still like it nevertheless. But, lesson learnt, not going to sit with Joel if we’re going for another movie next time. I sat with him during ‘I am Legend’ and he was the one freaking me out before the human-eating-or-I-dunno-what-to-call things did and he spoiled all the romantic moments during ‘Twilight’ the other day. =)
But at least he’s better than the Mandrin spoken kid behind Bao Yen, who was acting like an extra narrator for the film to her friends, in Mandrin, to make things worst.

#3. With Jess and Bao, after Twilight

A day after Twilght’s outing, we went to the Ministry of Sound, Euphoria. It was my first time there. I’m not a frequent clubber, it was the third time me clubbing actually, so I was extremely excited over everything. Bao and Jess even came to my house earlier so we could all dress up together. We even planned on wearing short dresses together but I had some last minute problem so tak jadi. Hehe.

#4. Classic picture-toilet thingy

#5. Jess disturbing Karine

#6. Fei, me, Bao and Jess

#7. Me, Fei, Bao and Karine

#8. Kai Tzin and Jess

#9. Jess and I

#10. The girls

#11. Candid. hehe.

#12. Happy faces XD

#13.

#14. All hyped up

#15. Another side of Karine you seldom see in pictures

#16. Still hyper after clubbing

I bumped into a lot of long lost friends like Valerie, Kean Hoe, Ryan, Chun Han, Keen Vai and even some whom I wasn’t really keen on meeting again but let’s not say names here. =)

MOS is seriously damn nice!! Not only the 'seafood' population there is very little, majority of the guys there are the type of good-looking guys with awfully good sense of fashion! The music that night was great and the vibrating dance floor so completed our awesome night out!! I had a great time though my feet were crying in pain. That is what happens when the thing you do with your high heels, instead of wearing them is buy then keep in the store room.

So, anyone reading this and is planning to go MOS before the 22nd this month please please invite me also okay?? =)

New Love

2008-12-06T12:21:00.007+08:00

I was planning on updating about the trip to MOS, Euphoria last Thursday. I even went to Jess's place to get the pictures from her. But, she got something else for me that'll probably keep me busy for another day or two.

#1. The Twilight Saga

#2. First book, Twilight

Yes!! This is it! The Twilight Saga! (I'm at the first book only actually) I'm so in love with the whole thing about this vampire love story after watching the movie the other day with Kai Tzin, Joel, Bao Yen, Clement and the BFFs, especially the vampires!! Goodness, they're so good-looking despite the very pale skin and protective in a very romantic way!!

Okay, Edward Cullen is calling out for me again. Promise to update as soon as I'm done with him.

Interesting Me

2008-12-02T01:24:00.001+08:00

Something someone said just popped into my head suddenly.

I haven’t spoken to you since what, primary??

So how do you know so much about me until there are things about me for you to talk about?

Weird..

Weird that you have so much time to find out about me and more to spend on talking about me.. Why not spend some time doing something more beneficial instead, maybe like studying?
Then you would have gotten better results, you know.
Then again, I’m just suggesting.
I know how interesting I can be until you can’t stop talking about me. Well, talking bad or good, it doesn’t really matter. Its still about me. HAHA!

But you know what, though I know you’re not gonna read this most likely, I do appreciate you coming up to me and tell me right at my face. Call me a b*tch, what ever. Don’t go talking behind people, oh no, that’s gossiping already, darling.

Anyway, thanks a lot again for being so interested in me. You’re such a wonderful friend. =)

p.s: This is just another random post. I don’t mean to be mean or something. Just felt like letting something out.

Cuti-cuti Malaysia

2008-11-30T21:59:00.015+08:00

I just got back from a trip to Perak with family. The plan was to spend the weekend at Pulau Pangkor cause Pa thought my bro hasn’t really gone out this school holiday.

So, off we went in two cars to Lumut. Left Subang at about 6 in the morning. We took things slowly; drove slowly, stopped at the Rawang stop for breakfast, then walked around the Lumut Waterfront, then only we got up the ferry to Pangkor. It was about noon that time. Oh, the crowd at the jetty won’t queue and be patient, kept pushing their way to get a place for the next ferry. kns. Hated that part of the trip.

#1. Lumut Waterfront

#2. Ferry

#3. Sea sick??

#4. This kept me from sea sick

#5. This kept Fei from sea sick

#6. Annoyed sis at hotel lobby

#7. Damn excited, like never sit boat before

#8. Expensive side of Pangkor

#9. Some rock that apparently looks like a turtle nearby Turtle Bay

#10. Monkey Bay

#11. Fish feeding

#12. Pa telling stories *yawns* at Coral Bay

#13. Xinyi, Fei and Mom

#14. Fei and I

#15. Fei doing her thing

#16. Xinyi doing hers

The whole point of going on this trip was to relax and give bro a chance to just get away from Subang, so we didn’t do anything extreme. We walked along the beach, went lompat pulau, ate, shopped and played cards at night.

Oh! The card game was damn funny!
We played blackjack and the one who loses 3 accumulated rounds will have to choose truth or dare.
Xinyi’s was the funniest! We made her call my cousin, Ming Nyet and asked him with a very serious tone if she was pretty.

XY: Nyet boy? Eh.. I wanna ask u something and you have to answer me honestly.
Nyet: Yea, whats that??
XY: Am I pretty? *trying very hard to not laugh*
Nyet: Huh? *blur*
XY: Am I pretty?
Nyet: Honestly?
XY: Yea..
Nyet: Err… Okay lah.. Average…?
XY: Above average or below average?
Nyet: Above average.
XY: You’re not saying that just because I’m your cousin right?
Nyet: Oh no, definitely not.
XY: Okay… Thanks then. Bye.

HAHA!! My mom, Fei, bro and I laughed until we almost pee!! (Actually Fei really peed a little) Funniest part was, my cousin called me right after that!! We actually planned to not tell him until today but he was so serious with everything, he actually thought XY was some suicidal case so we told him everything in the end. XD

The next day we woke up around 6.45am just to go for the breakfast buffet at the hotel which starts at 7. Damn kiasu. Haha. After that went to the beach again.

#17. Morning sun is good lah, Fei!

#18. The bising sisters

#19. Got wild hornbills there!!! (Random, I know)

#20

Checked out at about 9am then went to Ipoh to visit some relatives and makan-makan. Everything in Ipoh is damn cheap!! One bowl of noodle RM3.30 only!!

#21. SEE!!! DAMN CHEAP!!!

Finally, at about 4 just now we headed back. All in all, quite fun lahh, but damn tired.

Big Day of the Beloved(s)

2008-11-28T22:43:00.002+08:00

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST WEN YEN!!!
Stay short, cute, fussy, and full-of-nonsense auntie!!! I'll keep in short here since I sms-ed you already..

and HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY TO DARLING SZE YEAN TOO!!
May you be blessed with happiness and craziness always!

Also, today happened to be the birthday of someone who used to be very close to me. My dear grandma pass away peacefully last February, just a few days before Chinese New Year. I put her picture as my phone's wall paper last night and when mom saw it, she claimed that it was rather disturbing. I felt strange that she's her own daughter, yet she's a bit afraid of my grandma cause she's no longer around. Its such a pity that they chose to not think about her when I'm constantly reminding myself the things grandma usually does, the things she'll say, how she used to tell me stories from the past, etc. I'm just scared that memories of her will fade away until I could no longer recall how she looks like. Anyway, where ever she is right now, I do hope she's happy.

Home At Last!

2008-11-23T14:41:00.006+08:00

No, not me. I’ve always been around Subang. Okay fine, PJ maybe.

Its my BFFs! They’re back! Well actually, only Heng Li is officially home, my neighbour again but Jess is going to back in the evening also!

I’m really excited because I finally got kaki’s to lepak with and more importantly its them!!

The three of us been good friends since form6. Though dear loi, the chun nerd, is from the Bio Chem class, we always hang out together. Heng’s my classmate who disturbs me all the time during Maths so that’s how we got closer. =)

The main reason that brings us together, so closely, is because Loi and I think very super alike. We always say we have that bridge in between us. And Heng, he’s super nice to us. He gives us free massages, helps us order our food, gets the ketchup and sauces for us in McD’s, drives us around, shops with us and gossips WITH us. Oh, he let me pinch him also (I think he secretly enjoys the special treatment from me). =) Anyway, we used to spend every alternate nights together during the holiday after STPM.

But, someone up there decided to split the three of us up.

Jessica got Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang, Heng Li got Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Labuan and I got Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Blardy hell, one up north, one far east and me, still here!!!

But we actually got our first choice so I guess I shouldn’t continue complaining. And don’t ask my why I put UM as my first choice when I didn’t want to go there.

Anyway, its so good that the three of us are gonna reunite in a few more hours!! About 8 hours, to be exact. I can’t wait!

Oh yo, I just realised all three of us put on weight already.. But what ever, that means we're all happy! *smiles*

My dear sister, Xin Fei is on a 3days 2nights trip to Port Dickson with her form6 bunch.

My sis, Fei is on a trip with her FRIENDS, away from home!

For those of you who don’t know my sis must be thinking, wth, no big deal.

BUT this sister of mine used to always ALWAYS stay at home because she’ll miss my mom if she doesn’t see her for one whole day.

Look what form6 has done to her now! *smiles*

My form6 days were very very extremely fun too!

The bunch of people I used to hang out with are….silly! =)

Funny how we used to hang out at Taman Herba in spite of the mosquito population there, how we used to make compost out of waste, how we made fun of Karine everyday, how we enjoyed lame boring outings together, how we first clubbed together, how we bashed everyone on their birthdays, how we witnessed some of us getting together and breaking up…

Ah…good ol’ days…

I did mention they are silly right? =)

we even went FRIM together

Them!

Oh, reason why pics all usually girls one. Not that I’m sexist but the male population in form6 is countable with fingers.

So right, my mom was so wrong when she told me we usually meet our special someone, the other half, what ever, in form 6 or university. Either my mom was giving me false hopes or she wants me to turn into a lesbian.

I miss form6 so much suddenly!!

Updates and Promos

Semester break so far has been boring, un-happening, nothing-to-do, no fun and oh, did I mention boring?

Anyway, went and celebrate Mom and XinFei's birthday at the Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant in KL on Sunday(16th). Had high tea buffet cause Fei likes desserts, actually she only eats desserts and pastries. Nothing special happened but it was quite fun as its been quite sometime since we last had a family outing like this.

Then on Monday (17th), went Mid Valley with the Uni bunch for a movie and lunch. I went back to the college with Mandy and Elensha after that and we had chats as usual. I realised I'm quite an evil person. Evil in the sense that I can't care or pity someone like Elen and if I dislike someone from their first impression, sorry to say I won't bother talking or even layan them. I think its a weakness as many think I'm snobbish because of that but the fact is I'm not! I'm such a nice friend! I can even tolerate someone like Audrey!

And on Friday (21st), went Summit with my brother to catch a movie, Igor. The movie was okay only but I got out of the house at least.

Okays, thats about it. Told you my sem break's been boring.. -.-

Below are some pictures from the family outing..

p.s: I was just trying to make a point there about Audrey. She's actually damn nice and adorable. Taken, sorry!

p.p.s.: I got another friend available, Jessica LOI.

Happy Birthday Mom and Xin Fei!!!

Yup, my mom and younger sister both celebrate their birthdays on the same day, which is today! I don’t think I wanna do the wishes here cause both of them won’t read this anyway. So let me tell a bit of their stories. I’ll start with my mom.

Back when I was a kid, even when I was a young teenager, I don’t really share my stuffs with her. She doesn’t know much on my school life; how involved I was in basketball, who was I having a crush on, who were my close friends, etc. I was considered the rebellious one among my siblings so I sort of kept a distance with my parents. However, in the recent years, my mom was becoming more of a sister to me. She now stays up to have chats with me and Xin Fei on what was going on or most of the time, our complaints. So yea, we’re bonding.

My little baby sister, Xin Fei has been really close to me since we were kids. I know, sisters are obviously close but Fei and I share this really special bond. We talk about things we won’t tell others even just a bit and more importantly, we understand each other very well. And to me, she’s always a baby cause she’s really dependent and she won’t complain even if someone takes advantage on her. There were times I had to stand up for her when someone messes with her. So yeah, she’s the nice, soft one and I’m the bossy, mean sister. =)

Reasons to Smile

2008-11-15T00:13:00.002+08:00

Finally get to online! Actually nothing much to update cause my holidays been really dull. I went out for yumcha sessions but only twice so far. The first was with Danny and his hing tai’s and the other one was with Chin Wei, Karine, that bunch.

Both were pretty fun and got some updates on everyone. Oh, not forgetting gossips. Hehe. Found out about the latest sex scandal in SMK USJ 13, involving two Form3 students. Goodness. Kids these days seem to be growing pretty fast. Some of my friends of the same age haven’t even gotten their period back in Form3 but kids now are doing blow jobs for their boyfriends at that age already. And oh, the guys won’t stop talking about sex the whole night! Porn, masturbating, ways to do it-right hand left hand, who’s doing it, almost everything related to sex were discussed that night. Very informative to hear from a bunch of guys who were being real honest and who clearly didn’t bother the fact that I am a girl. Pfft.

I went back university yesterday. For the fun of it and to get away from the boredom of staying at home. Took a bus to Mid Valley and Belle picked me up from there. Then we ta-paued some Char Siew rice and Roast Duck rice back for Louise and her room mate, Miko. For some reasons the meat taste better in hostel. =) Anyways, we did some nonsense as usual-played Chor Tai Di, make up for each other and played basketball a while.

Basically those are the FUN activities I did during the sem break so far. Very saddening-kan. But but, I’m going karaoke with Aunt Lowell and her family with my family at The Gardens tomorrow and high tea buffet with family on Sunday to celebrate mom and Xin Fei’s birthday! Then, on Monday going karaoke with the university 'monkeys'!!

Did I mention my BFFs are gonna be back next weekend? =)

2008-11-13T14:34:00.000+08:00

I want to know whats wrong with me. I want to know why do I feel so troubled when finals are over and I’m having my semester break. I want to know why people will just give up on a friendship because of what others say. I want to know why friends draw lines with their friends. I want to know why I can’t drop that topic. I have so many questions right now and I don’t think there are answers to it actually. And its damn freaking annoying. I need my BFFs. BADLY. Come back quick, darlings.

Another Litre of Tears

2008-11-09T19:01:00.003+08:00

When we complain for having to walk around without a car, She was striving to make her legs strong and walk to classes though she’s so slow, by the time she reaches, the class ended already.
When we complain about having too much assignments, boring lectures, She was fighting to be in the school when other students’ parents said she should go somewhere else, somewhere with students like her.

When we complain about the food, being tasteless, not properly cooked, not hot/cold enough, all She wanted to do was to swallow it, not to get choked by it.

I’m not talking about someone I know in person, in fact she passed away even before I was born but her story was such an eye-opener. It’s a drama now, called ‘One Litre of Tears’. The story of Aya is like this. She’s like any normal 15 year old in Japan, trying very hard to get into a local prestigious high school, and she got in. She even made it into the basketball team and became a regular though she was in her first year. Nothing was different about her except that she falls a lot. At first they thought she was just plain clumsy but her mother, a health consultant and former nurse noticed she was slightly different. When she fell, she didn’t hurt her palms, but she fell right on her chin.

She went for a check up and discovered she had this rare, incurable disease. I forgot whats the scientific name but its got something to do with a particular cell in the brain breaking up for unknown reasons. She will have difficulties in estimating distances and controlling her body, hence won’t be able to talk, walk, eat, or even breathe normally. Her internal organs become very weak, too. If she catches a cold, she might get pneumonia.

So, the drama is about how she coped with life after getting that disease. The drama was very realistic in the sense that not all, in fact many didn’t want to help her despite being really close when she was healthy. Her senior, whom she liked since first grade and got together shortly before she was diagnosed dumped her as he was afraid of the responsibilities. Her good friend complained that it was too tiring to help her carry her wheelchair up the stairs. Her classmates said she was slowing them down in class.

Then again, there was her ever encouraging family, her mother especially, being her pillar of strength, helping her up whenever she fell and telling her she’ll carry her if she can no longer walk. Her doctor, who continuously worked on the researches in spite of negative results all the time. Her best friend since junior high was there to help her copy notes when she couldn’t keep up cause she was having difficulties in writing. And my favourite character, her boyfriend, who was earlier her classmate, who was coping with his brother’s death and told her if she wants to talk, he’ll listen no matter how long it takes for her to utter a syllable, he’ll walk with her no matter how slow the pace is. But she told him she didn’t want to see him anymore in the end as she was getting more ill, even wet her pants in front of him cause she couldn’t make it to the toilet in time.

I cried from the second episode until the last. Though there were only 11 episodes, my eyes were so swollen, it hurts when I blink(I’m not exaggerating, really damn pain!!). It was a really good drama. I was really angry at the one who introduced me this show, for making me cry so badly (the last time I cried like this was when my grandma passed away) but grateful at the same time for reminding me to be thankful to be able to talk and laugh the way I want and not fret over being not pretty or thin enough. That there’s always a bright side in everything.

The View Outside My Window

2008-11-07T18:49:00.000+08:00

I was dipping my favourite breakfast since I got in uni, Luxury crackers into a cup of Nescafe while looking out the windows in my room. There’s nothing spectacular about it, just a forest(yes, there’s a forest in UM surprisingly). In the evenings you can even see the monkeys playing around and at that time, everyone will be shutting their windows as the monkeys will intrude into the rooms if the windows are opened.

Anyway, I wrote this cause I was remembering the first time when I got into my room, I was disappointed to see the jungle. Afraid, too as you know, a lot of ‘things’ in the jungle one.

I was with my mom that time, who helped me with my luggages. I was really glad she was there with me, not because I would have to carry my awfully heavy suitcase, together with two bags and a pillow to my room which was on the third floor all by myself if she wasn’t but the reminder she and my dad ‘carry’ with them, that I must be happy to get into University of Malaya, though I was dying to go somewhere further as UM is(was) one of the top universities in the country. I remember telling her “I’ll be fine, you can go now” when she asked if I needed anything else before she leaves. Despite the confident, independent look I put up, I was really hoping she would stay with me a little longer. I didn’t turn back when she left.

Then, my roommate came. Her mom was with us the whole time, excited about everything, getting nervous over the smallest things. She was even telling us what to call each other, our nick names so that we’ll remember each other’s names(remembering names was a freaking hard thing in uni cause all Chinese names one). But my roommate’s was an easy one, Siew Peng. She’s Grace, too but I like Siew Peng better, cause she looks more like a Siew Peng than a Grace.

The next five days after that was hell.

It was Orientation. Five days are considered short but hell, Orientation was both mentally torturing and physically tiring at that time. I remember the first two days being the hardest. They were constantly yelling at us, telling us our 4.0 in STPM is nothing in uni(I didn’t even score close to 4.0 but still kena, wtf) so don’t be proud of it and stuffs like that. Our programme book wrote we are supposed to sleep at 11 and wake up at 6 but they let us off earliest at 12 but woke us up at 3 for a fire drill.

Everyday we slept less than 3 hours and we got about 5 minutes to eat and bathe only so nope, the last two days I didn’t bother to bathe anymore. And can only wear the same two shirts throughout Orientation, so nope, no time to wash also.

The worst part, they shut us out from the outside world. We’re not allowed to use our handphones, must off them, cannot even turn on silent mode. I remember reading Jessica and Heng Li’s messages before I go to bed and I feel like crying every time I do so. Jess purposely stayed up one night to call and chat with me and I felt extremely happy after that though I didn’t get to sleep. My parents didn’t call though, as they knew UM’s tradition, orientation=torture new comers.

Despite it all, Orientation is actually one of the fond memories in university so far.

I didn’t have any close friends as they won’t let us talk.

But there were slots for the Chinese Club (when the malays are praying) that I always look forward to as this club gives me a feeling that I’m part of the big family in college. Among the Chinese community, that is. And the seniors came back and told us, bananas not to worry as they will not discriminate us though they speak mandarin during their activities. We even have a Banana Club in the Chinese Club. At that moment, I knew I will join this club’s activities with full commitment. And I made it to becoming the ‘Timbalan Pengarah’ of Pesta Tionghua, an event organized by all the Chinese first years in the college(college is our hostel) in March next year. And I’m very proud of it. =)

Now, the view outside my window, though it hasn’t change a bit in appearance wise, it gives me a totally different feeling. The feeling of being home (room in college is my home in uni), the feeling of being belonged to somewhere, in the university. I wouldn’t have said this, not even think its possible 3 months ago but I’m sure I’m gonna miss uni during the semester break.

Had quite a rough day earlier today. But a buddy, actually two, cheered me up though it was just through sms and msn. Then Xinyi was kind enough to buy me a dress for the coming Majlis Anugerah Kurshiah (MAK). I'm feeling so much better now and will continue my revisions on Titas and Financial Management sooooonnn!!

Oh, I was browsing through Facebook and saw these pictures. I miss those days with them so much!!

I am supposed to be studying for the coming finals which is next tuesday, but I started this instead.. I'm not exactly sure what is the 'right' way to blog, all I know its as though 'I'm talking to myself'(haha.. Audrey kept emphasizing on this in her first entry I remember), so don't mind the not-so-interesting and no-syok-sendiri-pictures in my entries to come. =)

For a start, I'd like to talk about my friends as I've always treasured them more than anything else in my life(yup, sometimes even more than my family..SOMETIMES-lah..) I've been hanging out with different groups of people everytime I move on to a new phase so yup, i got primary friends, secondary school friends, form6 friends and most recently, my university friends. Since university friends are the most recent, I shall start with them lah..In uni, I hang out with the same 8 girls most of the time. But the ones most likely anytime of the day you see me with would be Annabelle, Mandy, Louise and Elensha. So, to cut things short, i'll talk about them only la k. (i'm a lazy and lousy blogger i know)

Annabelle Wong Si-Ern is pursuing a degree in Linguistics, majoring in English(i think thats how they call her course). She studies English lah in short. haha. She is among the first few people in uni I can click with cause she's one of the what they call bananas here in my college. Er, in case you dunno banana is a term they use on Chinese who can't read and write Chinese. I got to know her when the both of us were selected to represent our college during Minggu Haluansiswa(MHS), which means Orientation Week, or something like that. She's like the mother among us. She won't let Louise eat chicken when she's coughing and will pull a face when she finds out I skipped class again. Hehe.

Belle

Moving on, Mandy. Actually she's seldom with us cause she got lucky and found a senior boyfriend just after 2 months we got in uni. Ok lah, her senior bf was from the same high school as her and they had 'ai mei' relationship since 2 years ago. Although she's most of the time MIA, I somehow got this bridge with her. We can share all sorts of gossips and stories together until for god knows how long.

Mandy

Louise, Loo loo~ is the 'tai ka che' of the group despite being the shortest. I personally enjoy being with her a lot cause we're both noisy, horny and crappy. And this three words also equals to A LOT OF FUN. hehe.

Louise

Lastly, Elensha. Thanks to Louise, she got all sorts of name. From Tai Soh to Ah-Lun to Lou Foong (Old Foong, cause Foong's elen's surname) and back to Sha sha. She's the most helpful one among us. I tell you, some people take advantage of her because of this which is damn annoying. Some guys were even having wild ideas to steal her bra then put it around their eyes so they can act as Ultraman. wtf.

Elensha

Stef, Elensha, Mandy, Me, Louise, Annabelle and Wei Yin

Okay lah, thats it for now. Gotta watch 'Legend of the Demigods' with Loo now. =)
