Picnic

Quest : To find something fun and inexpensive to do during the hols

What did we come out with? A good old fashioned picnic by the beach :)

Hehehe .. free and fun. What more can you ask for? We packed up our blanket, sandwiches ( i make good ham-egg-cheese sandwiches k! ) and junk and headed to the beach for a day of baking in the sun and doing absolutely nothing. And after weeks and weeks of having something to do, i can finally do NOTHING!!

Only sad thing is that i didnt scrape up the guts to go for a horse ride :)

Once again, Im so so glad i live on an island .. surrounded by water .. where the beach is only a half hour drive away. Something most penangites take for granted till they leave.

Suprisingly, it was pretty crowded .. with people (reflexology seems to be the new money making business on the beach), horses and pigeons. Since when were there pigeons on the beach anyway?? Oh well .. if you can find cobras in paya terubong i guess pigeons on the beach is pretty normal..

Yes, i know i look odd - i wasnt ready for the camera.

*Thanks :)*

Next thing to do : Go swimming!!! I wanna go swimming!! Lets go swimming!!

It is Alive!!

IM BACK!!!

Yup yup .. after a month of absence and cramming in my humble little hostel room im BACK! Finals are over (finally) and im raring to have some fun. I swear, ive never crammed so much before in my entire life.. model student .. waking up around six every morning and going to bed around one .. i did nothing but study and watch stuff on my laptop. Managed to go through season 2 of carnivale, season 1 of desperate housewives and season 3 of scrubs .. heheheh ... i ran out of things to watch .. and eat. In the two weeks of study break i had there i managed to finish ten packets of instant noodles.. Ahhh... the joys of being a student :) .. Thats the last time im taking 20 credits.

Anyways, finished all seven of my papers, packed one semesters worth of junk into boxes (no idea how i managed to collect that much stuff(and now im back!!) So happy so happy :). Call me call me!! I wanna go have some fun .. its time to get this ass up and moving! I swear i could feel all the mass of my body slowly gravitating towards my ass as i sat at the table every day. I overdosed on coffee (worried i fall asleep during my paper mah) and lack of sleep has given me eyebags bigger than my eyes and zits have started poppin out on my forehead. After my last major paper i slept for fifteen hours .. heheheh ..

I dont wanna think about my papers - plenty of time to mull over my results in a months time.

Im outta here .. time to enjoy myself! I earned it :)

Like an Onion?

Im slowly falling apart, piece by piece under the pressure of too much work, too much stress and not enough sleep (damn uni life.. whoever said uni years were the best of you life werent mech students in usm). And at the same time, so are my PC speakers. ARghh.. my trusty harmon kardons have finally reached the end of their life span. I need a new pair of speakers. Sob Sob.

My eyebags have eyebags. Even more sobs.

Finals are comin and i still know nothing about plane stress or Mohrs circle or biaxial bending or eccentrically loaded members. Its times like these where i dont know what possessed me to pursue an honours degree in mechanical engineering. I swear, i should have stuck to my original plan and taken interior design .. or baking.

Far cry from engineering, huh?

Neway, a couple of incidents happened this week which all involved someone(or some people) taking others for granted. I sat back and pondered over it, and i have come to realise that the longer you know someone (or more accurately, the better you know someone) the more likely you are to take him/her for granted. I guess its only in human nature to assume (how i hate that word now) the other party should be able to understand, after knowing you so long. But it shouldnt be that way .. you should know where your loyalty lies. And you should know whats really important to you. And i guess its disappointing to realise that someone will (and is?) taking you for granted.. and even more so that you make excuses to yourself.

Only Words..

Its been a bitch of a week, with things comin one after another after another. Doesnt help that i ended up sick by monday morning (ugh, presentation at 8.30am with no voice) and i stayed sick for the next couple of days. Darn flu, im blaming in on Kar Loon. My powers of recovery are amazing though so after spending about 15 hours sleeping (with a bathroom trip in between) i turned out fine.

This week has been jammed pack with assingments, test, extra classes and presentations but that wouldnt be the only reason why this whole week gave me a major headache and big puffy eyes. There were a couple of inccidents which made me stop, think and review my current situation. Its not easy when youre pushed away. Its not easy to have to come to a point where you realise you arent what you once were .. its not easy to come to look in the mirror and realise what you have become. Even more so when you hate what you turned into. Then you wonder 'what happened to me? And its not easy to have to think if everything is worth it. The world kinda comes crashing down on you once you realise that things you were once so certain of are not certain anymore. Its not that simple to just go on and pretend nothing happend.

After a few days of mulling things over in solitude, i have come to realise its not my fault. And that there are some things which i have no control of. There is a middle path to everything, and there is no need for me to feel guilt for wanting more time .. or wanting company .. or sympathy (i know la, damn manja).

Sticks and stones may break my bones; but words will never hurt me.

Whoever said that was obviously lying. Cos words hurt .. and i still maintain my stand that noone should ever deserve to be yelled and cursed in a fit of anger. Not even a dog.

Mechatronics Project - Finished at Last!

As you may probably have figured out, ive been really busy the past week with various projects and assignments. But i just had to show off our completed mechatronics project.

Task: to build a system using a conveyor belt, single or double acting cylinders, a PLC, valves and sensors and to write its program.

It took us one whole day of skipping classes, just to build it, never mind the concept and the program etc etc.. and im very, very proud of it, k? Might not look like much (what to do, low budget mah..) but hey, it works .. and its cute. I'll put a movie clip just to show off oncw ivw converted it to a .swf file cos my pic host doesnt accept avi formats. Dang. Anyway, just praise me, make me happy k:)

Our wiring for the PLC. Complicated leh .. we're very proud of it, no help at all :) We skipped classes to stay in the FMS room all day to work on it.. bad idea cos three hours into the project i got a call from my roomie - thermo quiz!! We had to run from our building all the way to the lecture theatre..and me in my roomies shoes, one size to small..

One last pic..couldnt resist. had to go scavenging around for all those parts.. it pays to make friends with the technicians :) Finished at last.. so happy :) .. now all thats left is about a ton of paperwork.. sigh..i should have just taken up baking.. ive found more than one person willing to be my silent partner..eheheh

The fourth years were there doing there robotics and automation project... massive machinary .. but they assemble these really cute little houses.

Pics!!

I know, i know .. way overdue but ive been busy. Really, really busy. My dean is proud to say that second year mechanical students are the busiest on campus. I, however dont find it quite that fun. I turn green with envy when i see the students from materials and mineral resources free every afternoon.

Anyway, i celebreated my birthday last week.. just a small thing with the girls.. Chai came back from KL (i didnt know she was comin) and boy was i surprised when her car pulled up at Ishuets house. First thing i thought was ??Chai Yin driving terri? Terri borrowed chai's car?? hahaha.. imagine my surprise when Chai popped out .. *Thanks Chai!* And i had a small celebration just with Jon the week before that :). Thanks to all of you who made growing a year older in the middle of a jungle not as bad as it could have been *hugz*

We went for dinner in Tambun.. Being girls, we had no idea that there was a football match at Batu Kawan that night.. it took forever to reach there, cos of the jam and two accidents. Oh yea .. we have no idea who those two dudes are standing in the pic. A mystery... jeng jeng jeng

And i just had to put in the pic of yu ming and drey.. we call it " the two lesbian friends" eheheh..

This is Chai, on the way back from Tambun. We were bored.. its a long drive k..

This shot was taken while trying to set the timer on the cam. Notice Chai is the only one staring at the camera..

This is what a group pic is supposed to look like.

And since it was just us girls and in ishuets house, we decided to try our hand at mixing drinks.

Look at our cocktails!! Arent they a pretty colour? From left to right you see our version of Lemon Drop, Vodka Orange, Sangaria, Green Froggy, Ishuets creation and Screwdriver

Self explanatory.. but i think pics look so funny without captions..

See Mun all red and happy :)

Our booze bottles and the little thingy that sat on top of my cake

Drinking makes you hungry so we went to McDonalds :) Praise the dude who came up with the idea of a 24 hour drive thru!!!

This is me .. in the car.. at McDs .. with Yu Mings foot next to me. And i never noticed it was there

Thank you thank you!! I had a great time that week, and the week before that (Love you baby..)

More pics available, but since im not too sure about the nature of the shots .. i wont be posting them up. And i only got the pics from chais camera today, im much too lazy to upload them.

Loads of work to be done.. USM SUCKS!! USM ONLY WAITS TILL THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT TO TELL YOU THAT THEY'VE SCHEDULED TWO TESTS, ONE VIVA, AND TWO PRESENTATIONS ALL IN THE SPACE OF FIVE DAYS! ARGGHHH!!1

Ahem. As you see, im quite stressed. Excuse me.

Fuzzy

Its 1.34 in the morning .. i should have started on my strength of materials paper by now .. but im still here. Hmmm.. i procrastinate way, way too much. Bad habit, i know. Sigh.

This sem, ive had projects or assignments for every single subject. And out of all those ive had to redo three of em a day or two prior to handing them up because I DIDNT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Or because some wise ass decided to go up to the lecturer to clarify things and gave the lecterer the bright idea of either a) having more criteria or b) adding something else to do. And right now, i and a few friends would happily take my trusty ten year old car and run the culprit over. And over. And over. Hahahahahah...

Okay .. im gonna hide my horns ..

Okay .. back to work. I have three more things to do before i am (hopefully) free!! All i need to complete now is a four page hand written hand illustrated good handwriting (damn the lecturer) paper on strain gauges, a three page BM presentation on petrol prices (and memorise it too..) and a conveyor belt system for my mechatronics.

I hate it here.

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yup .. its that time of the year again .. im now officially 21 years old.. How scary.. So this weekend after i put aside all my projects and all my assignments, its time to celebrate :)

Another day ,. Just breathe

Hmm.. another day passes and it brings me no closer to the end of my projects. Sigh.

I dont really like birthdays. My birthdays, that is. Im not sure why though. Maybe its cos birthdays have never been a thing in my household. Actually, all types of celebrations arent really the in thing in my house. Hmm.. And as i got older, i could never celebrate my birthday cos even though im lucky enough to be born a Libra (Libra rules!!) im cursed to have my birthday fall smack in between some sort of exam every single year. PMR... SPM .. STPM .. trials .. finals.. you name it.. So yea .. guess i just aint used to celebrating it.

But maybe its cos im here, in PB .. i guess a birthday is like christmas or valentines or new years .. just those times where you really dont wanna be alone .. cos its one of those days that are supposed to mean something. Or maybe its just the fact that another year has passed and i still have accomplished nothing. Whatever it may be, it doesnt change the fact that im still stuck here (ive now found four people who wanna transfer out of this hell hole) and im still alone (banyaknya projek untuk disiapkan. .. woooo...).

Obituary

Pig was brutally mauled to death by one of the damn hostel cats. He was sitting in his cage and the damn cat still got him. I dont understand how. I'm gonna give that cat a damn good kick if i ever see it again. I miss my Pig. I really, really loved him. He's never gonna squeak to me in the mornings, or stick his nose out of the cage for me to pet. Its not fair. Its never fair.

Jon left for KL an hour ago. Its not fair either .. the moment i get used to him being around again he has to go back.

Surprise surprise

Its been one hell of a week so far. For the past two and a half weeks ive been waking up at somewhere between 4 to 5 am every morning in uni. Regardless of what time i get up. Its annoying .. now i wake up everyday feeling more tired then when i go to bed.

Been trying to pack all my work into this week so i can finish it and go to watch Stomp. Yes, i wanna go that badly.. because of that, ive slaved over my mechatronics assignment ( i finished my circuit design!!), i slaved over my thermo tutorial and ive been killing myself trying to translate pages and pages about the abrasive machining process into english. Its torture, i tell you.. try translating this :

abrasive machining is a material removing process where the abrasive grits interact with the work surface at high cutting speeds and shallow penetration depths.

So i dig into a dictionary and come out with this:

abrasive = pelelas
machining = pemesinan
process = proses

therefore

abrasive machining process = proses pemesinan pelalas ??!!??

Argghh!!!! And i have to do twenty four pages of this crap?? *(%&^

Sigh. Anyhow, i guess it doesnt really matter anymore. They had to spring this up on my today : test on friday morning. Which completely ruins my plans to watch stomp this time around. Haih ... looks like i'll never get the chance...

Anyway, its Michelle's birthday today!

Oo... so many birthdays in september .. Happy birthday girl!!

Sexually explicit?

I found these online .. completely hilarious!!!

Hahaha. .. superboy getting spanked by his daddy for being a bad boy ... Something just sounds so wrong. Superboy as the whipped bondage slave ...i wonder what he did to deserve the spanking.

Hahahahahha

its not fair...

I am so so PISSED. Females can be so petty. My English teacher hates me. And it shows when it came to her reviews of our English oral presentations.

Guess what? Mine doesn’t even have a rating. When she reached my name :

Hmmm .. Lisa .. well … Eye contact good, voice good, confidence okay … but you need to work on your enthusiasm.

Guess what? She said nothing about enthusiasm to anyone else. Nope. . all they got were comments on there grammar, eye contact, voice .. WHY ME?

Yea well… apparently my speakin has grammatical flaws as well. BUT guess what? Second best presenter was someone who says things like ‘ Today I would like to share with you about my topic which is the secret to happy’

WTF???? Even a high school student should be able to point out the glaringly obvious error in that sentence. There were similar mistakes throughout her presentation too. Funnily enough, my teacher said nothing about her grammar. Just the usual ‘eye contact good, voice good, confidence good ..’ Tell me.. am I bitching over nothing?? What is the mark of a good presentation then? That you have the ability to suck up to the teacher and win her heart? Oh yea .. and fyi I have nothing against the girl.. shes really nice.. I do, however have a very big thing against the third best presenter .. damn apple polisher. Her voice wasn’t all that loud and she was probably less enthusiastic than I was. I quote the teacher ‘you need to work on your eye contact, you tend to stare only at one certain spot. A few grammatical errors but its normal’ so … remind me again .. why is she rated third? Damn bitch. Now just so you don’t think im full of myself, I did go around asking what other more objective people thought of my presentation. Feedback was that my presentation was pretty good and they were surprised about the choice of second best.

IT NOT FAIR.

To satisfy me (or shut me up) Kar Loon suggest we go see the lecturer and find out what she’s looking for in a good presentation (read: COMPLAIN). Its so hot. And im so pissed its making me feel even hotter. Which is why im sitting here without a shirt on. Im pissed off and I cant be bothered anymore.

Happy Birthday!!

Its Audreys birthday today!!

Happy 21st Bday Drey!

This is the girl ive known definitely for more than half my life.. all the way back to kindy.. i must have been like four? She celebrated her birthday last weekend in her aunts house down in tanjung tokong. We were all there to make alot of noise as usual .. hahaha .. so cheers girl.. hope you have a blessed birthday!

Oh yea ... as promised .. pics of my newly altered head:

Yes .. its me .. a little bit blurry though (what to do, using webcam mah .. ). The position is a little odd cos im lying on my bed with one hand sticking out to hold the curtains shut so that sun doenst come in and i end up looking all 'glowy'.

Just like this ..

STOMP

I wanna go i wanna go i wanna go!!!!!

Any takers?

Woo Hoo

Hey hey!! Ive finally gotten around to doing something with my hair. Result? A whole brand new hairstyle! What started out as a simple trip to the hairdressers to get highlights turned out into much more than that. I have problems saying no to a flyer, how can i refuse an enthusiastic heirdresser?? Anyways, pics will be up soon .. And even if you dont like it say you like it!! Cos i already did it and now i need to fish for compliments :)

Its TzeLins birthday today.

Happy 21st Bithday Tzelin!!

Folks, this is someone who can always be counted on to make me smile .. best wishes girl .. hope everything works out allright for you. Cheers!

...

Although im trying to keep the blog uppdated, i dont have much to sya today. SO much has happened, yet i still have nothing to say.

It hasnt been a very good day, or night for that matter and i really dont want to wallow in my miseries and rant on my blog so .. nothing to say today.

Maybe the next update will have more substance.

My friend told me that tears that flow from different parts of your eyes mean different things. I was wondering though .. if tears are bodily fluid, could you cry yourself to death? Cry till you dehydrate and shrivel up like a prune? Assuming of course, that you dont have any liquid intake. From the first law of thermodynamics, net energy applied to a system is equal to the net work done by the system. Does it run true for bodily functions?

Waiting .. and waiting .. and waiting..

Oh my god .. the connection from my room in uni is so damn slow ... so slow .... i managed to memorise my presentation while waiting for my pages to load. So slow .. if you try to download anything not from the network ... it hangs halfway .. so slow ... my msn messages dont reach the other person .. so slow .. that its like poking my eyes out with a spork ... its torture i tell you .. its slower than my dial at back at home. I cant upload pics to my blog. I cant download codecs for my pc. I cant even update my virus definations. ARGGHHHHHH!!!!

So, in between classes today (see, i don ponteng di!) i ran over to the pc lab. Loads of people here today so i sat at the nearest pc without scouting around. I dont know if its my damn bad luck or somthing but IT TOOK LIKE SIX MINUTES FOR THE DAMN PC JUST TO START UP!!! I could take a nap in the time between pressing the on button and waiting for everything to load. Its disgraceful. Speaking of disgraceful ...

I have fat in places where i didnt have before. What was once hard muscle is now .. well .. not that firm anymore. Im still thinking if i should be bothered and actually get off my ass and do something about it. Its hard staying with skinny roomies.

Good Tidings fr Langkawi

My baby is back from Langkawi and came back with goodies for me!!! Yay yay .. Thanks!!

Checking inventory .. this is what i have :

1. A giant bag of M&M's
2. One bar of Cadbury Old Jamaica Rum and Raisin
3. One bar of Cognac filled chocolate
4. One bar of Cointreau filled chocolate
4. One bottle of Absolut Vodka
5. Essential oil scented candles

Yes, my baby didnt forget about me .. and i now have plenty of choocies to munch on and a bottle of vodka for those sad lonely times.. Thanks!

He's gone back to uni..its something i dont think i'll ever quite get used to. Its hard.. all the coming and going and having to consider the time factor. I miss him already. Oh well.. Three weeks to go ..

Am i? Am i not?

Its the end of my hols (what, already?) and its time to go back to uni (damn). Anyways, though i havent touched any of the work i brought back to do, i have managed to meet up with loads of people, ive had a blast :).

Chai came back a couple of days ago and because of her and her itch, we went to chill out. A last minute thing, where we moved from sitting at gurney drive to dancing in chill out. Oh yea, and i didnt get stopped this time, haha.. No drinks (no money to buy la) just few girls out to dance and have a good time. Anyways, ive been called an awful lot of things in my life but never this : I was dancing and some guy leaned over to Chai and asked if i was stoned cos i was dancing and dancing .. ( Duh, takkan go club and stand there ah?) I still dont know if i should be deeply insulted or not. Hmmm..

Looks like i'll never have to pop pills to get stoned, apparently i can do it pretty convinvingly with nothing except a bottle of blueberry kampai.

Dont read this

As i sit here at home once again by myself on my holiday that isnt a holiday, i wonder : why am i sitting here at home by myself? A couple of years ago, i was somewhat happening, or at the very least i didnt spend all my free time in front of a computer screen. Now, i have to correct the few people left who are still under the illusion that im happening. What happened and where am i going?

Whenever i roam about alone, or with my girlfriends, at least seventy percent of the time someone will ask me the dreaded question: wheres your boyfriend? And each time, it gets harder and harder for me to say 'oh, hes out with his friends' while trying to convince them and myself that it doesnt really matter. When it does. So, how much time is enough time? Some people think that the couples spend all their time together (yes, someone just said so five minutes ago). So does that mean its just a myth? Or am i some sort or exception? How much time is reasonable? Is it hoping for too much that i get to spend some time with him, given the fact that hes going back sunday morning? Or am i supposed to sit on the sidelines like a cheerleader and be supportive and understanding that he needs to spend most of his time with the guys? Maybe im under the delusion that the guy is supposed to be prince charming. makes it even worse that i see couples every where and people i know in a relationship spend alot of their time together.

Argh. Its getting to complicated. I need to go out. Or at least get myself stoned to the point where i dont know nuts.

Celebrating Independence

Its the eve of Independence Day. Its roughly ten pm, Terri has just dropped me home and will drop ishuet home shortly. We left Gurney still clad in shorts and slippers about the same time everyone started coming. I see a whole load of people, mostly younger than i am. Someones sister, someones brother, juniors .. all who wave and say hi and continue on there way in as we make our way out. Get out before the crowd comes and the jam starts. I guess its a process of aging. Sad. Almost dissappointing, really. But then again, its dissappointing for other reasons which you may or may not know but that doesnt really matter cos its not my point.

So do you gracefully withdraw yourself from overrated social gatherings as you grow up? Or do you go, and hang on to whatever left while you still can? A year ago, i was probably there with the crowd, two years .. i was probably still there. . next year? Probably not. Same goes for new years and other less meaningful celebrations.

Oddly enough while i spent me night at home with my laptop the questions come one by one : why you still at home? not going out tonight? what you doing at home along? etcetera et cetera .. So, what am i doing at home? I dont know.. not exactly quite happy being there but no much of a choice i guess.. time to settle down? I dont know .. maybe i never will be able to settle. Maybe i need to keep on running. Maybe people dont really settle, they jsut find others to run with..

See Mun calls my unwillinges to sit at home hong sou. I just contribute it to the moles on my feet.

Photoblogging?

Me :)

My Ikea lamp .. (Seen this before Benny?)

My burn

Yup... i managed to get myself burnt.. again. I went around for almost a week lookin like there was a mini leech stuck to my hand. Ewww..

Rant Rant Rant

Im back for hols.

Sorry Benny, youre gonna have to wait again for the Ikea lamp. Already got a pic, just too damn lazy to upload it :) Another time yea .. and when are we gonna go for supper??

The unfairness of it all. I come back for hols, yet Chai and Vilas hols dont start till a week after mine. To add to that, my hols and jons hols are at the same time. Great, wouldnt you think? Except that he's on his way to langkawi for three days and two nights with his male buddies who also happen to be staying at his place one night before and two days after the trip to langkawi. And i dont even get a bottle of bacardi!!!! He'll be leaving early sunday morning so that basically doesnt leave me much time. Sigh. I know, im being bitchy and selfish, blahdy blahdy but cut me some slack, i deserve a little time and space to rant. Make things even better, i have two tests and two presentations straight after the hols and my english teachers a dumb bitch. And to top it off, the week Chai comes back for hols i have a test on FRIDAY FROM 8-10PM!!!! I dont even have classes on friday afternoon, i could be home by three but nooooo.... now i get to go home at midnight.

Let me bitch, THIS ABSOLUTLY SUCKS. Its like one of my strength of materials questions : the soalan tanpa soalan. This is a holiday thats not a holiday. Argh. I already feel stressed just thinking about it.

Too many What Ifs.

If you dont love
If you dont care
If nothing matters
Youd be inhuman

But

Youd never hurt.
Is it worth it?

Confessions of an Anaemic

Another week gone by. Fifth week of uni has ended and i still know nuts about my course. Sigh. Why engineering?? Why ? WHy????

I was holdin a plate of glass in one hand, rubbing vigorously at a smudge on it with the my t shirt.. Maybe a little too vigorously cos the glass pane i was holding still didnt quite stay still and ...

Ugh .. blood .. dripping ..
No pain .. stare at my slit finger. .. wait .. here it comes. ..OUCH!
Ooo .. everythings going fuzzy .. static.. theres a roaring in my ears ... ahh .. need to sit down ...

Hmmm.. spots seem to be clearing up.. i can see again!!

This is why i cannot donate blood.

Lost in Space

Okay.. ive made up my mind and i'll soon be a member of the golden key international honour society, malaysian chapter.

But, you gotta pay your membership fees, right? ytc and i figured that the cash wont be going to waste. Only problem is they dont accept cash - its check or money order. I defnitely dont have a check book and the uni post office is too small to sell money orders. Which poses another problem : where is the parit buntar post office? noone i know goes to the post office outside campus, why should they when you can mail stuff right from uni? anyways, after asking around ytc managed to get the vague direction of "its somewhere near the roundabout lah .. turn somewhere there..".

We set off in the direction to town, passed the roundabout and by a great stroke of luck turned into a road where we spotted the post office a little of the main road we were on. keeping my eyes on the post office, i took a left into the road the post office was on and headed straight to it.

Only then did i realise that the road i turned in was a one way street .. and i was headed in the wrong direction. I took a u turn .... right in front of a police station.. with a policeman outside.

I bought a lamp from IKEA!

To summarise the day ...

1. After more than a week, Hxn noticed that i cut my hair. And that was only cos he was walking behind me instead of beside or in front of me. YTC never noticed at all. Guys. Blind.

2. After two days, they noticed i was wearing a belt. Maybe the fact that it was bright red helped. When i said i was cos i was tired of having my jeans a little loose and the back sticking out so half the world could stare down my ass, YTC said something that stunned me: "i though girls had the back of their pants open cos they wanted guys to stare down thiere ass" . I did not expect that .. Apparently, he (therefore all males?) think that girls dress the way they do (super jarang) because they want to attract male attention. So if the back of your pants cant stay closed, or your shirt is a little bit too short and rides up when you stand on tippy toe, or if your shirt is a little transparent and you wore the wrong bra .. its on purpose .. to attract more male attention. In his own words "if they all wear like that then no one see wasted mah...".

3. I wore a new shirt (everyone i know knows i went down to KL to shop) which people noticed but i wasnt prepared for this either : "Eh you look so pretty today? How come i never see you look so pretty before wan?". So i could just take the compliment and shut up nd be happy, or take it as a wake up call that everyday i "dont look pretty".

4. Ooo, the Milo van came today!! Free milo :). I was on the way to class after lunch when i spotted the Milo van and went over to grab my share of free Milo when i spotted good lookin singh (or indian?) man!! Like Gurjit kinda good lookin, only not that good lookin. Trust me, in my uni, good lookin men are a rarity. Definitely not my year, and most definitely not in my school but oh well.. Singh dude talked to me! Okay, so the conversation wasnt really a conversation; it started with a smile ( i smile at anyone who smiles at me k ) and he said

Here for the free Milo?

Duh. Why else would i be standing next to the Milo man? To get Uncle Milos autograph ah? Oh yea .. i got a 'bye' as well :)

5. EMM221 Test 1. After slogging over my damn strength of materials textbook, i coulnt finish the paper anyway. Question 2: WTF?? Only consolation is that out of 4 people i spoke to after that, none of them knew how to do it. Apparently when my lecturer said he plans to raise the standard and make us fail, he really meant it, the SOB. Friend was lucky enough to take it last sem, told me it wasnt that bad - But too many people scored A's last sem, so they changed the happy lecturer to my SOB. $@%$!.

Back!!

Im back from KL. I tell ya, you wanna know what the world would look like if it was gonna end? You should have been there when the haze reached an all time massive API .. somewhere above 300 in PJ.. above 400 in Port Klang. Shit, the papers said hail stones fell. The world is coming to an end soon. It was so bad, there was haze inside the shoppin mall. You could smell it indoors, you could smell it from the bus. Ugh. Eternally gloomy skies, neither bright nor dark.. no rays of sunshine.. lights on in the afternoon.. Looked like a bloody warzone. This must have been what the world looked like when the dinosaurs faced extinction.

Nuff said, the haze cleared up considerably by friday night, and the skies were clear again by saturday. And on sunday, it poured till there were flash floods. Freaky.. go into Alamanda while its hot and sunny, come out two hours later and the sky is so dark and the rain so heavy KL town cant be seen. See, im a bringer of good things :). The same day the haze cleared up in the south though, it started in the Northen side. Yup. I leave Penang, and head down to haze. Then i leave KL and still head home to haze. Ironic. Sigh.

That said, i got my shopping done, i met Vila and Ben and Chai. So yea. . mission accomplished, im a happy woman. All thats left is for Jon to get me my lucky cat. Pics will be up when a)i get some decent connection speed or b)when chai finally mails the pics in her camera to me. By the way, we were the only 'tourists' in Hartamas Square taking photographs. Jon said he cant show his face there anymore..

Problem Solving

The left side of my orange slippers finally fell apart on me about a week and a half ago. Since then, i have had neither the time nor money to go get myself a new pair. Slippers aint cheap ya know .. everything i came across was way over my rm10 budget.

Since mine tore, ive been randomly using my roomies slippers.. but i cant do that forever now can i? And since engineers are apparently people who solve problems ....

My attempts at putting my poor slipper back together ..

I started off with one poor, not so old broken slipper..

Then i nicked my roomies UHU Glue to try stick it back.. which lasted approxmately half a day. Next time, buy elephant glue when you need to do something a little bit more heavy duty.

Reanalyse the problem. Hmmm...

If the Uhu cant make a permanent bond, i'll have to make it as permanent as possible. At least so my slipper will last till i buy epoxy. If i cant glue it together, i can staple it together! So, armed with stapes (once again nicked from my roomie) i glued the offending part back then stapled the seams together. Its been holding so far, but the damn staples are poking the soles of my feet. Which is why ive stuck fabric plasters over the staples!

Arent i smart??

Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it : The future engineer of Malaysia.

Happy Birthday!!!!

August is another month where birthdays come one after another ...

Its Leech's Birthday!

Happy 21st Birthday Leech!!

Happy birthday to you. . happy birthday to you ... happy birthday to yoouuuu .. *aiya, no money to buy present di la* .. happy birthday to you!!!

*clap clap clap* Yaayyy*

Tick Tock

I sit at my study table, unable to focus
Occasionally sneaking glances at the time.

Hoping against hope that the phone will ring
Alternately switching from believing it will ring
to telling myself that it wont.

Its still silent.
So i continue sitting
With my thoughts scattered.

Ham Chin Peng and Yu Char Koay

After my visit to the PC fair last sunday, i came back with a webcam, a notebook lock, blank cds and cd cases :).

I'll be going down to KL come this Thursday to see my baby and do some shopping (mega sale carnival!!!!) and meet up with a few people - multi task la - since its convo this week. Unfortunately, i had to choose between leaving Pig here in uni for close to five days and hope he has enough to eat and drink, or to not see him for two weeks. I left him in Ishuets house for babysitting .. which means it'll be two whole weeks till i get to see Pig again. I miss him already..

Oh yea .. since i managed to mantain a reasonably high cgpa, i got accepted into some honour society - Golden Key. During my first year, i looked at the notice and wondered what the hell it was. . do you walk around with some golden key or something?? Do you sit in a circle and discuss intellectual things?? Guess i'll find out soon enough ..

But .. i couldnt go get my offer letter cos i wasnt wearing formal wear. &*%^

Happy Birthday!!!!

Its Yu Mings birthday!!

Happy 21st Birthday Yu Ming!!!!

To celebrate yu mings and leechs birthday this month, we all got together to have barbeque steamboat :) Seems like this has turned out to be our fav meal now. All you can eat, you get to choose it and you get to cook it. Yummy..

It was supposed to be a surprise for both of them (we conspired with Teo (leeches guy) to get everything set) where we all meet in ishuets house with the cake and pressies as a surprise. Unfortunately, out hiding behind the sofa to surprise leech fell flat - she saw our heads behind the sofa - and our plan to surprise yu ming backfired - she surprised us instead !

Lotsa good food, ice cream, cake, wine ...... mmmm.. what more could you want on a birthday? Good food and great people :) Heres to wishing the both of them a happy 21st. The best is yet to come.

By the way, you simply cant imagine how silly we felt squatting behind the sofa, trying to figure out how and when to jump out.

Deep inside of You..

My trusty ten year old proton iswara is failing on me. A couple of weeks ago, the wipers wouldnt stop wiping ... Today, the low petrol warning wouldnt stop flashing. Not even when i topped up my tank with RM30 with of fuel.

PETROL IS NOW RM1.62 per liter!!! )%^&* At this rate, even if i ever have enough dough to buy a car, i prolly wont have enough to keep it running. Sigh. Thirty bucks barely gives you 19 litres. This sucks.

Went to Motorola today.. And yup, i brought Pig along with me. I couldnt leave him in the car to bake to death, could i? ANyways, its a 'No Pets Allowed' kinda place. No handphone for visitors sort of place. No bags or jackets without being checked by security kinda place. You get the picture... Very, very high security. Very, very nice place. Anyway, i figured i would never get through if the guard went through my bag (I smuggled him in my bag :)) so i went to the guest registration center and asked the nice Pak Guard to keep my bag for me cos i had my phone and wallet - i conveniently left out i had a guinea pig inside - in it. He siad i could take in the bag and leave my phone.. so no choice.. Pig came with me on a tour of Motorola in my book bag. Somehow, i doubt he found it fun.

Oh yea... todays pic :

Terri and Chai..before the hair dyeing sessions ... before their hair grew long. . Does anyone still remember what Chai looked like before she dyed her hair?? I had a hard time remembering :) I'll be seeing you next week in KL!

Sneaky Piggy

Im going to Motorola tomorrow .. field trip :) Only, i have to submit a report on it .. Sigh.

Minor problem though ... What am i gonna do with Pig? I cant leave him in the car, he might bake to death. Believe me, its possible. Last week, i left him in the car, which was parked in the shade for two hours and came back to find him already in the first stage of a heatstroke. I've figured out a way to sneak him into class, but sneak him into motorola??

Hmmmm ... Outcome tomorrow ..

Pink Knickers

If any of you have gone into a uni hostel before, you can figure out how mine looks like. A hollow, rectangular building, with rooms around its perimeter and showers or such on each end. The layout is unvarying, with each unit directly above another and we can open our room doors can yell across the hollowed out middle to someone else in the room directly opposite.

For those of you lucky people who have never seen a local uni college, just imagine.

I was back in my room, sweeping the floor with the door open so i could sweep out whatever dirt and hair that might be lying around my little corner of the room. (good thing about living in a hostel - you just sweep all the junk right out the door) I was standing at the doorway of my room, looking directly out the door for those few seconds before i turn and reenter my room when the door one floor above me and directly opposite me opened ......

... And a girl came out ... wearing nothing but a sarong and a bra!! I know, im a girl, we all change in front of each other but this was seriously unexpected.

I stared at her. She stared at me.

The she started laughing and rushed back into her room.

Its been an awful long time since ive last posted up a pic. So im gonna randomly post up pics of people from now on just for kicks :) This was taken way back in 2003.

So ... how much change do you see?

My little Orange Seal

Updates have been rather sporadic. Blame it on lousy network connection (aiya, what to do when its free??) and uni lecturers who insist on lab reports being handed up the next day when you have 7 tables and 8 graphs to draw. I was up till 2.30 and overslept. But, i have my trusty roomie to wake me up. Anyhow, i finshed my lab report. Bangganya :)

I got thrown out of the office today. Again. I remembered to put on my collared shirt, i was wearing shoes .. i innocently rode the elevator up to the office to hand i n my lab report. I havent anything to worry about, have i? Im just here to hand in my report, im in my collared shirt, im not showing any skin, my clothes arent too tight, im not in flip flops ...

Dead wrong. I got kicked out cos .....

I was wearing jeans!

&(*^R%^#&. Now i cant even wear jeans?? WTF? What you expect me to wear, you damn skinny arse with a midget of a moustach?? ARggggghhhhh!!!!

Yup. Thats right. No round neck tees, no slippers and no jeans! Sigh. Final warning from skinny arse. Next time, my name gets send to HEP. Where i have another three warning before desciplinary action is taken (read: fine RM200). Anyway, i just gave him this really big grin, and said Fine. Okay. No problem.

My roomie says screw him and stay far away from the office. Okay, she didnt exactly say that (shes far too polite) .. but you get the jest of it. M0re that three quaters of the student population walk around in jeans anyway.

Campus Life

Im sitting in Ishuets house. With no Ishuet, and no Ishuets parents.

This is wiered.

Terri is in the next room on the PS, Leech has just gone home and Michelle .. well.. Michelle came over in the afternoon.. and finished dinner too late to come at night. Wiered. Our homework is downstairs on the living room table..with our papers and pens scattered around. Our clothes are around the room and theres leftovers in the fridge. Hmmm.. is this what is would be like if we stayed together? Campus life like??

Anyway, Terri and I are housesitting for Ishuet and her family while theyre in KL for the Wild Zebra performance and a shopping trip. So were here to feed and walk the dogs, feed the rabbit, the iguana, the fishies .. :)

Its actually quite enjoyable.. though the dogs know they can bully us, and they do. And iguanas apparently throw up .. or i think ELvis threw up. But i cant be sure.. not an expert on iguanas..

We'vwe locked up, left the right lights on, shut the windows.. I wonder what it would be like if we had been lucky enough to go to unis in the same area and share a house.

Food for Thought

While we (or i, for one) have been moaning over the more trivial things in our daily life, going about our daily routine, moaning about how the food sucks, how heavy our workload is, how we wish to have this and that, how little sleep we get ..

A girl died today. My age. A second year materials engineering student. She got hit by a lorry at the crossroads near my uni, where they've been conducting roadworks for the past year. Two days ago, they took down the traffic lights to reinstall new ones. A crossroad, with cars going straight, turning left and right .. with no traffic lights. She was on her motorbike when a lorry ploughed into her. She died on the way to a hospital.

Another life gone, just like that.

Makes you think, doesnt it?

Bitchings and more..

Call me a bitch if you must, but seriously this is too much ..

1. I am bloody sick of being the only few idiots to buy a textbook. Which means that my brand new text book (which i have barely opened) is gonna be borrowed by someone and made into twenty copies or more and returned in pathetic condition!! Its a bloody textbook for your education, it doesnt cost that much cos its already partly subsidised, you all have loans, grants and scholarships so BUY YOUR OWN DAMN TEXTBOOK AND LEAVE MINE ALONE.

2. I am sick of having to lend my text books out brand new and having them come back dog eared. Wear and tear is fine, when I do it. Its my book, if it gets weathered cos i've been reading it, its my choice. Noone else gets their dirty paws on it.

3. I am sick and tired of all the asses out there that call me everyday to see if my lab report is done just so they can copy off it. Once in a while? Fine. Need my help? No problem, just ask me. But taking the whole thing and copying it word for word? Screw you. I didnt spend entire afternoons in the library writing it and getting references so that you could copy off it. And if our lab reports end up the same, you're not the only one screwed.

4. I am annoyed to death by the idiots and tudung heads that walk five abreast in the walkways and hallways really slow, talking at the same time. You wanna walk slow, use half your brain and make way for other people to walk. Other people have places to go. Same goes to to the dumbasses who need three other people to stand around them while they check their atm balance and decide whether to draw out thirty or sixty dollars. You neither need people to decide how much you need to draw nor giggle endlessly. Theres a line behind you, save it for another day.

5. Dont stare at me blankly during lab and expect me to tell you what to do, or do it for you. We have the same labsheets, read it la. Thats what its for.

6. I still think the rules about wearing shorts on campus is stupid.

7. Im also sick and tired of having to visit the damn bookshop, day after day looking for my textbook only to be told its not here yet. And then 3 weeks later be told that its not coming anymore. WTF? What kind of bookshop doesnt stock the right textbooks? Last sem, i never got the required text for fluid mechanics because it was out of stock and they refused to order more. I ended up having to visit the co-op everyday to order a different book till they got one for me - i recieved it only halfway through the sem. So if anyone knows where i can get Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical & Electrical engineering 3rd Edition by W.Bolton, please let me know .. please please. .. And to the people waiting to photocopy it off me, tough luck.

what do you if you dont have a choice?

To all of you that read the last post and are worried about me, im okay. After a day and a night, i still dont know how to put everything back together, i still feel rather shitty, but now im calm and not about to fall to pieces. I think i bit off more than i can chew.

Everthings falling apart, material and non material. And the sucky part? I dont know which is worse. Something, or say alot of belongings fall apart one after another, you just dont have the cash to put it back together again. So what do you do? Break open your fixed deposit? Leave it broken? What if you need it? What if you dont have a choice? So what do you do? People say material things can be replaced. the person who said it must have had a hella alot of moolah. The thing about non material stuff though, is that you can forget, but it wont ever go away.

shit happens

you know the sayings ? it never rains but it pours .. murphy's law .. what can go wrong will go wrong .. toast always falls butter side down?

i really feel like crying right now.

Somethings burning ..

I know i know. .. havent been updating .. been having some problems :)

Its been a busy and not so busy week (is that possible?)I still havent given my car a check up, i havent got my books, i havent done alot of things i planned to do since the hols, but such is life.

Speaking of car check ups, Ishuet, Terri and I were on our way back from Gurney after catching a movie (fantastic four, give it a go!) when .. her car radiator temperature started going up. The three of us stared at it, wondered what was wrong (at this point ishuet started smelling smoke, but was worried we would think she was paranoid so she didnt say anything!), came to all sorts of conclusions before pulling over at the petrol station after driving another 100 to 200 meters. Then we realised smoke was billowing out from under the hood. The three of us know nuts about cars however, i know enough to manage to pop open to bonnet ... then we sat there and stared at the smoke.

A future engineer, future physicsist and future linguist - our first impulse was to douse it out with water. Brilliant eh? At least we knew enough not to open the water tank, or i wouldnt be here right now - probably in some hospital with all the skin on my face scalded off. Anyway, three girls nicely dressed, standing by a car with its hood open, looking quite lost in the middle of the night and not a single asshole came to help!! Shows us how gentlemanly Malaysian guys are .. even the dumbass petrol attendants didnt bother coming. Screw Petronas, go to Shell. We would have sat there for eternity trying to figure out what to do, or wrecked the car completly in the process of rectifying the situation had not some nice slighlty balding, but red haired Malay dude who pulled over to fill up at the staion noticed our predicament. And came over to give us a hand and a long lecture about how to take care of a car (Aiyo aiyo, the car can meletup in your face you tau .. Bahaya oh...). :) There is some good in the world after all. As it is, it took almost an hour before we could get back on the road .. And it took us all the way to Ishuets house before we realised the car was leaking water the whole way there. It was smoking again by the time we reached.. and looking down the road we noticed a long trail of water. Which was a funny thing cos it didnt leak when we filled it up .. just goes to show we dont know much about the insides of cars. And Terri doesnt know how to put pressure in the tyres. Hahahahha :)

The mechanic came the next day and fixed it. Just like that. We should all go learn something about our cars.

And about cars .. i was driving yesterday when i noticed spots on the windscreen. So i pulled the wiper trigger (i dont even know what to call it) to squirt water and clean it off ..... and the damn thing wouldnt stop!!! It kept squirting water and wiping my windows!! Panic Panic!! Driving around like an idiot in the sun with the wipers on!! I had to pull over a kill the engine a couple of times before it stopped. And I think it only stopped cos the water tank was empty. The next time i need to wipe poo of the windows, i'll do it by hand.

Cow Fascination?

No update yesterday - Spent the evening and night doing my lab report :)

I finally got around to repapering my notice board with ... moo moo cows!! Couldnt resist the cow garden wrapping paper, take a look ..

Its got little cows all over! A little sick once you realise the cows are milking themselves, but its cute!! Dont you think? Humour me, will you?

This is what you learn hanging around two guys who consider you to be just another dude:

Guy A: Hey, hey .. You know how to check if a girls boobs are sagging yet??
...insert goofy laughter...
Guy B: Hahahahha.. i dunno la, measure ah?? See how far down the chest it is??
......insert goofy guy laughter again.....
Guy A: No, no .. Take a pencil.. hold it horizontal and stick it under her boobs! If it stays there .. laughter again .. then you got a really really big problem!
...yet some more goofy guy laughter ...

University. The place for an all rounded education.

hunger or fatigue?

Im tired and im hungry. And i cant decide which to do. Thanks to back to back classes, all i managed to get for lunch was a carton of yoghurt. And i was so hungry by the time it reached five, i ate.... then missed dinner.

Now im hungry again..

I spent close to four hours trying to settle and draft out a formal letter to organize some dumb industrial visit. Apparently my english writing skills suck. I did, however realise that something must have gone in during those two years in in english lit: i remembered the word oxymoron! Not just that, i managed to incorporate it into a sentance! Mrs Tan would be so proud. After two whole years of saying the i yawn like a hippo, stare like a goldfish, stick with people like siamese twins .. i actually learnt something.

Classes are starting to get into full swing. Already a lab report and four graphs to finish .. when im so, so sleepy.... cos i didnt sleep much last night... cos i couldnt sleep much last night... cos it was too cold to sleep last night .. im starting to ramble mindlessly ... im gonna shut it now ...

People who schedule classes at eight on monday mornings should be shot.

Three Years To Go

Im back in campus again. Sigh.

Spent this Friday in Ishuets house. Like the friday before that.. and the friday before that.. and before that. Think its been 3 fridays in a row already .. And seeing that terri, ishuet and i are the only ones left here in penang, it looks like we'll be spending the next 3 years doing the same thing. I dont know if its a great routine, or a sad one cos we've already got next week planned out. And most probably the week after that as well. Oh well. I dont need the whole world as company.

Anyways, we spent friday night in Ishuets house as usual. I think the after effects of so many M&M's are beginning to show on my face. Heres a revelation: apparently, i talk in my sleep. So many nights sharing rooms and for the first time, someone has told me i talk in my sleep. And it didnt even make sense. According to see mun, this is what i said:

I want M&M's! .. not chocolate.

It doest even make sense at all. I dont even know why i said that. Thinking it was cos i fell asleep hungry.. and the last thing i heard was Ishuet asking me to eat M&Ms. The subconcious mind is a wonderful thing.

Spongebob Squarepants .. Again

Yet another of those nights where i cant sleep. And im getting increasingly grumpy. This is just to annoy Kok Yun more than anything else. The lyrics to the sponge bob square pants theme. Now you can sing along!

Are you ready kids?
I said are you ready?
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he
Spongebob Squarepants!
If nautical nonsense be something you wish
Spongebob Squarepants!
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!

Ever had one of those days where you feel like total crap and you feel like you need a really big hole to bury yourself in? If you excuse me, i think i'll just go and wallow in my great big hole.

It sucks when you have no one.

Admin Sucks.

Before i begin : Im Back!
Yup. Earlier than expected cos my labs and tutorials dont start till next week! Yay!! :)

I think the Sponge Bob Square Pants pillow worked. Sort of. Instead of staying awake and rolling around half the night, i fell asleep around two and woke up around 5.58 am if i remember right. Then i fell asleep again. Now im just waiting for the night i sleep the whole night through. Oh, my eye baggies .... Got a huge bump on my forehead though and a few small ones on my head. Im so used to having a biggish bead with loads of pillows and stuffed things that i cant get used to the fact this bed is so darn small. Even worse, theres part of a column sticking out next to my bed. So my bed isnt against the wall, and theres a small space where my pillow slips into and i end up with the corner of the column somewhere at my forehead. Which i rolled full force into a couple of times. Ouch. I feel really stupid now.

Heres a pic of the layout of my bed. I know it sucks, sorry, but i cant draw squat using paint. I did a really nice one with autocad then i realised that i cant post it (blows to the head must have affected me more than i thought). See the red circle? Thats the damn corner i bashed my head into. And the blue thing is supposed to be a window :)

Oh yea.. my Uni is now implementing this dumb rule that states that all students are to be dressed in formal wear to go to the office, library, admin buildings, lecture halls etc. Which means no sneakers, no jeans ... you get the picture. Tell me, which idiot would want to spend the whole damn day in a collar button down and slacks? Anyways, been pretty lucky so far cos i havent entered the library, my PA, Dean and lecturers dont really care what im dressed in. BUT, i dropped by the office to grab my lecture notes and lab sheets. I know, i know i wasnt in formal gear but i didnt know that i had to pick em up today. Anyways, i got as far as through the door. Then the damn security/admin dude stared at me and chased me out. Dumbass. So now i have neither my lab sheet nor my thermo notes. *%&^.

Looks like i gotta stock up on collared shirts. I wonder if they'd let me in if i wore some sort of collared shirt over what im already wearing. Not formal, but still collared right? Damn. Like i havent already got enough stuff to carry.

Screw you admin people.

Sponge Bob Square Pants

Server was down last night. *#$%%@!3*.

I got locked out of my room the night before last. Stupid really. My last years roomie and i have developed this habit of never locking our doors, and never taking our keys anywhere. When we bathe, when we sleep, when we do laundry, when we go visiting..So it came as quite a shock when i went to take a bath, she popped across to find someone and we came back to find the door locked. Me, with my hair wrapped in a towel still holding my shower caddy and obviously keyless and handphoneless.. and she .. with nothing either. Dilemma. Neither of us have the other two roomies phone numbers. We squatted in someone elses room for a good half hour. Thankfully i was wearing something.

I had dinner with a bunch of friends at some tea place. And when i say tea, i mean real chinese tea. Little tea cup and little tea pot.. the works. Scratch that. Not little. Tiny. Miniscule. Miniature. Im guessing it held no more than a quater of an ounce. One sip and its all gone. Annoying, really. How do you expect to quench your thirst this way?

Told ya its damn small.

I just had to put this up : My new pillows :)

I havent been able to sleep for the past few nights..tossing and turning till five in the morning. So ive decided it cos i didnt bring my fav pillow down so i went to get another one :)

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea???
Sponge bob square pants!

Skys are Purple

Its Monday. My first official day of class. And i was late. Not a very good start, you think? Doesnt help that i spent most of the night tossing and turning till around 6 am, and continued waking every hour. What kind of person has classes at eight on monday morning anyway?? Sigh. And a dumb subject at that - EUT 2012: Thinking Techniques. Apparently i dont know how to think. I need to be taught. A sample of how dumb EUT gets:

Mr A is 44 years old, with a wife and three kids. He is a modest, responsible man with high aspirations. He is not interested in politics or social happenings. His hobbies are sailing and woodwork. So, is Mr A a lawyer or an engineer?

WTF? What kind of question is that? Im kinda rooting for him being an engineer but you cant just lump everyone into groups, can you? DISCRIMINATION. Hello??

Oh yea.. for those of you that might, or might not have heard.. Im back in my college and im now considered an illegal immigrant. I originally ended up in a different block from my friends and coursemates. *curse**swear* So what did i do? We convinced someone to switch rooms with me and now, im back in block 1 with my coursemates and stayin with my former roomie near the window! Yay!! Its not exactly allowed, but oh well.. :)Interestingly, my new block happens to be co-ed, with the girls in wing A and the guys in wing B. If i open my windows, i can look into a guys room. No more walking around underwearless for me this year. Since this is my home for the next year, you can now write me at:

1232D, Desasiswa Lembaran,
Engineering Campus,
Universiti Sains Malaysia,
Seri Ampangan, 14300,
Nibong Tebal,
Seberang Prai Selatan, Penang.

I have a headache. Guess that happens when you have 2 hours of interrupted sleep. I want my maggi goreng ayam tambah telur. Im also bored to death. Call me!
