What's new...

I owe you all, my faithful readers, an apology for the delayed update. Sorry!

It is not to say that i was completely tied down by assignments...well, at least not YET. In fact, i somehow had other things to do such as finding out what on earth is wrong with the laptop and then finally sending it to my dad for reformatting - only to discover that i did not save my music files and all my favourite songs like Katy Perry's I kissed a girl was gone, Rihanna's Disturbia was gone and the long list goes on.

It's disheartening and completely disappointing to find out that all my favourite songs are gone! Just when i told myself firmly that that day i would burn the songs into a CD! :'( It's depressing.

Anyway, on the updates about Uni, JOIN THE CHESS CLUB!! Hahahaha! A short advertisement for the club that Jun Yet and Kit Yee set up. :D They were pretty good models too! First day of the C&S week and they were already there to play chess early in the morning! Very good marketing strategy! :D

On another note, classes are alright so far. As it is the second week, i got to see who my tutorial mates were and it is good to know that so far, i have friends in every class. :D The tutorials are now more challenging too! You have to fight for a chance to speak up so that you are considered to have "participated" for the class and therefore, have your attendance taken. In my opinion, i think that it has its pros and cons. Those that are really outspoken or should i say, LOUD, would shout their answers and thus, leaaving people like me who are fighting a chance to say something smart to get noticed, unnoticed! Sheesh. [mental note: practice vocals and shout more]

By the way, anyone watched Ellen Degeneras's show today? McSteamy was there as one of the guest and my my, is he one heck a hottie!! *drools*

Okay folks! It's late at night and i need my much deprived beauty sleep!
Good night and hope you enjoyed my update! :D

Different

As i have promised i would do, i shall provide you - dear readers, an insight into my new semester.

Let's see, my first class started in the afternoon and that is the first for me. I had planned my timetable in the past to start in the morning knowing well that the "after lunch" period would be dreadful and torturing. But whether or not it is due to the excitement in the first week or the slightest possibility that i may just pull through and survive the afternoon "after lunch" period, i was awake. And was eager to pay attention and listen to the lecturer. oO!

Imagine that!!

This is right after i had my lunch too!! Unbelievable!
:D

But i shan't get my hopes high as this is after all, as pointed out by Tze Yuen, the first week of the semester. I have not had my brain go on full speed processing information and completing assignments. BUT! Let's just hope that this feeling remains 'cause i like the excitement feel! :D

Anyway, for the first time this year, i woke up late today! Gosh. Had it not been for Chu Ian's phone call, i would have went on blissfully unaware of the fact that my class starts at 9! He called at 8:30 and got me bolted from the bed as if struck by lighting and flew to the bathroom and got ready in 15 minutes. This includes bathing, brushing my teeth, changing, packing my bag, putting on my socks and shoes, messaging Tze Yuen to save a seat for me next to her and starting the car to leave for uni. Thankfully the traffic wasn't bad so i managed to reach uni at around 8:57 or so, parked my car and saw Shu Yi. Said hi and transfer my old notes into my car and brisk walk all the way to class in less than 8 minutes.

Only to find that the lecturer isn't even there. -.-"

Anyhow, the lecturer turns out to be someone none of us was expecting so that was quite a surprise. Then throughout the class, i noted some nasty cockroach odour and told Tze Yuen about it. It was distracting 'cause the smell was really strong. Halfway through class after that, the row behind me made loud gasps and it turns out that there was indeed a cockroach.

My row of people freaked mainly because our butts were exposed to the cockroach and if there was a large enough gap at the pants, it could very well slip in and make itself cosy in the arse. So, it was very disturbing especially not knowing where on earth the cockroach disappeared to. Half the time we kept turning around checking to see if the cockroach reappeared and decides to nest in our pants. :D

So luckily, the lecturer allowed a five minute break and we immediately changed our seats to the front row for the remaining class.

There was good news delivered in class today too. NO TUTORIALS FOR THE WEEK! AHAHA!

So, time for lunch now! TATA!

new Semester...

...has just begun.

I like to believe that i am ready to face all the grueling and torturous assignments. At least it is the positive way of looking forward to the new semester. :D

Mistakes that were made in the previous semester shall never be repeated and i would be ready this time.

Anyway, being the first day of the semester, new faces can be noted in the crowd and there are some early birds too! I usually get my parking space much closer to the uni and now, i have to take extra minutes to walk to the campus. :(

But it's good exercise!! :D

Anyhow, my tummy needs food...

Will update more about how the first day of the new semester went soon!

XOXO

Genting Trip

Brrr....*shivers*

That was what we got when we arrived in Genting. Or at least, i did. :D

For those who are wishing for some pictures, sorry but i did not have a chance to bring along the bulky equipment given that my dear sibling needed it for a much higher priority than i. Whilst i had my hand phone, i was worried of draining the battery - which can be rather uncooperative at times, so i did not dare take any pictures. :D I apologize for being paranoid and for not providing you the joy of looking through pictures of me with my panda eyes. I suppose i can be evil.

And boring.

ANYWAY, i shall provide the details and you all can drop by at Kit Yee's blog and Wei Ning's for the pictures. :D

Let's start: 3rd July (1st Day)
I miraculously managed to get out of bed at around 6:30 in the morning in good spirits to fight for the bathroom. Since i was told to meet with the rest by 7:30, i packed in all the last minute necessities like toothbrush and was ready to leave the house by 6:50. :D

Despite the horrendous traffic jam, we (my mom and i) managed to maneuver around the cars and got into a shortcut and ta-dahh! Reached my destination on the dot. :D

We were initially told that our bus would be the earliest at 8 a.m.. However, we couldn't get the tickets and settled for the 8:30 a.m. bus which was just as well since there were some ahem..late comers. HAHA. :P

Let's just say that the bus drivers are probably one of those ex-Pizza Hut delivery boys/girls racing to their destination in record time. I prayed all the way.

To cut it short, it was SOOO misty. So much so that it felt like we were in some sort of sci-fi movie or perhaps, horror scenes - where some random Jack the Ripper would appear from the mist and you realise suddenly that he appeared in such short notice and in such close proximity that you have no chance to run and in the end, get killed/ you thought you saw your dead friend/enemy and then before you can take a second look, they disappear into the mist. Once you run towards the direction they were in, you find yourself either lost or in a different dimension.

And almost all the rides were temporarily closed.

AND we already bought the tickets for ALL parks.

Let me tell you that only the kiddish rides were open. So pretty much MOST of the adults crowded around the kiddy rides and enjoyed the freezy gush of wind and drizzle on the face.

I nearly turned to ice.

IT was COLD! It was like experiencing winter season in Hong Kong! I did not quite enjoy the cold initially since i did not have any extra cardigan to warm me. But upon arriving at KL, i immediately missed it so much! It was fun to see everyone's face bright and their hair wet from the cold - imagine a commercial showing a "fresh" look and you'll get pretty much what i mean. lol.

The indoor themepark was pathetic. Aside from the bumper ride, which, i must say was fun, :D the indoor roller coaster was not working! Sheesh...In the end, all we did was walk in and out from the outdoor park hoping that the mist would be lifted and we could at least sit on some rides and hanging out around the indoor window shopping and eating. LOL.

Speaking of which, the food there is ...atrociously expensive!!! WHo in their right mind would pay for a whole chicken for RM80!?? IT'S INSANE! We had lunch at this Hou Mei restaurant and i ordered their speciality noodle thinking: "Oh well...speciality mar..should be pretty good." Guess what it turned out to be?

MAggi mee. -.-"

And it cost me 11.20. *faints*

Dinner was not too bad. I even met with a fellow Monash student! :D Everyone gathered at one of the rooms after dinner and we played "Mafia" from around 10p.m. to close to 1a.m.! IT was GOOD FUN!! I really really liked that game!!! :D The rest went on to play other games until about 4 in the morning. :D

4th July (2nd Day)

We had brunch in the end at KFC. Whilst TL and Nico had theirs for free and the girls (aside from Kit Yee and me) had porridge elsewhere. Then we left for the skyway and arrived back in KL (safely) in exactly 45 minutes. Again, the bus driver must be an ex-delivery boy or he had a bad case of diarrhoea and was in need of the loo because he drove like a mad man.

Anyhow, the rest with Wei Ning in the lead decided to stay back at 1 U for a karaoke session? I do not know how they have the energy and enthusiasm to sing but i simply could not. I was feeling nauseous and was in much need to rest my head on a soft pillow. Which was close to what i did once i arrived home. Straight to the couch and Ahhh....

This is what i call Home Sweet Home.

p/s: it was a good trip and despite not being able to sit on the rides, it was a very interesting experience! And not to mention, lots of interesting new gossips! :D I hope everyone else enjoyed their time as much as i did! See you all soon! :D
