    I'm going to Sunway University College


    1:07 AM



    dunno why
    but i'm already feeling homesick
    eventhough i'm still sitting in this same chair
    in front of the same computer
    feeling the breeze of the same old fan
    with the same headphones plastered against my ears
    seeing the ever loving people

    what will i do when i go there?
    there'll be no one i can really trust anymore
    people who wont stab me from behind
    people who want me to do the right things
    people who can jolt me back into reality if i'm in fantasy land
    no one to discuss my crappiness and not be judged in the process
    will i find anyone there who are like them?
    i hope so

    TUES~
    lazed around at home

    WED~
    finally smtg!
    went out to prangin for some CNY/college clothes shopping for gwei theen's sake
    mei ling was high thru out the way
    frm bm plaza sampailah prangin
    the onli time she was biasa was when she tengok baju
    dat time eni serious semacam
    gwei theen was running away frm d clothes we gave her
    RUNNNN~
    before her feet masuk d shop oso, she freak out and FLYYYY
    far far far far away
    at least she bought some stuff in the end
    she even got some really good bargains
    jeans at RM20 smtg!!! =D
    hoodie jacket with 30% discount sumore...
    jealousnya me ^0^
    we ate some lame food though
    soup with over much margerine =.=
    coleslaw with sesame seeds?? =.=
    green tea that looks black?? =.=
    hahahahahaha~ my fish was a lot smaller compared to janice mia
    d chef soooo biased *PIFF!*
    janice was soooooo kesian
    kept mundar-mandir because of a pair of RM88 pants
    to buy or not to buy?? that is the question =)
    the worst was the TOOOOOOOOOOOOOTing bus
    a lot go to prangin but only one leaves
    plus must walk at least 50m and cross the busy busy Jalan Penang
    Mei Ling was laughing again because she thought it was like an adventure
    LOL!!!!! XD
    it was hot and glaring and she calls it an adventure??!!
    Meiling too special ade la
    hahahahaha
    the only prob of the day was the effing buses la

    Heard it for the 1st time on Yvette's blog....
    wahhh~ terus hati tertambat <3

    something tak berkenaan at all

    went to UTAR with my family today
    was 2 hours plus drive from BM
    i sat in the car and slept all the way there *as usual, teehee*
    i'm a terrible traveller...
    before you even saw UTAR you would see TESCO XD
    not bad eh..got sushi king n redbox oso
    i was thinking it would be quite secluded in the middle of a jungle
    coz in kampar maaaaa
    manalah tahu...
    the campus life there would be quite interesting
    a development company even built a gated community specially for UTAR and KTAR students man...
    imagine living in a 3-storey semi-d for the whole of your uni life
    newly built sumore man
    free internet of course
    most importantly...SWIMMING POOL!!!!!!!!!
    it isn't exactly in the housing estate there
    opposite in KTAR..open for RM1.50 per entry for the students (yeah..i read a bulletin =)
    the taman is Westlakes...coz the ex-mining pool = lake is in the west XD
    transport there is like in japan and the european countries
    they cycle!!!! XD
    nice man!!~~~~~
    but got bus and van services oso la...for the lazy ones *cackles*

    the courses offered are okay...but no twinning programmes la
    they say it's because UTAR is still new...6 years old or smtg
    so twinning programmes would be available in plus minus 5 years
    so jangan harap want to go overseas when you're doing your degree in UTAR
    since the perak campus is still new, the facilities are up-to-date and clean~~~
    their chemistry lab no 3 is still under refurbishing
    library oso quite condusive
    computer services...not bad...DELL mia lo

    the only bad part is the holed staircases
    you can practically stand underneath and look up when some gals in skirts walk down
    and WHOPEE!
    so DON'T WEAR SKIRTS AND WALK DOWN THESE STAIRS!!
    protect you dignity, gals! XD
    if still nak pakai, then use the lifts =P

    the cafeteria faces the lake...quite nice scenery to look at while you gorge
    i stared at the food menus and prices *must know what i can eat while i'm there kay?*
    and surprise surprise!
    the rice with ikan taucu is RM5.50!!!!!
    ToooooooooooooooooooT man! i can buy 2 cans with that money!
    but the western food wan price okay la
    breakfast set is RM3 smtg..inclusive of drinks
    my bro saw a row of chairs by the sides... "For rejects and outcasts" he said
    haiyo~ sooooo pity


    My visit to UTAR was more in detail compared to the other campuses that i've been to
    still in the process of comtemplating whether to go there anot
    since the degree will give me exemption from the first 9 ACCA papers
    so i dunhave to faint in my CAT exams XD
    other unis' degrees give an exemption of only 6-7 papers =.=

    If anyone you know and i know is going there...please inform me!!
    dunwanna be one of the outcasts >.<

    muahahaha~ my poor few-weeks-old blog was left
    lonely except for teng yee n yvette's crappings at cbox
    pitiful =|

    sooo sorry for the abandonment since 5th dec
    no laptop or comp to use
    even if i had one...
    no time or energy to blog after a day of walking and talking

    my cousin's wedding day was full of jokes
    and meeting uncles and aunties that go
    "AIYO! SOOOOOOOOOO BIG ADE AH! LAST TIME I SAW YOU....."
    all you can do is SMILE =)
    a verrriiii small price to pay for two bowls of sharkfin soup <3
    *i suppose that the shark is reared...not hunted down in the sea*poor things
    the band that night was good~
    before the weird dancing started =.=
    my niece was funny though
    she got excited with the Yam Seng part
    started screaming the hotel down
    luckily holiday inn got strong foundation =D

    the rest of the week went by like a blur
    went here and there for those open days
    attended tonnes of talks
    talked and queried different people
    student ambassadors...lecturers...cousins...relatives

    THE BESTEST DAY
    the sale at sunway pyramid was FUN!
    especially in padini XD
    wah....70% off...50% off
    can die maaannnn
    and those on offer.....realli nice!!!!
    got a few long-sleeves in excitement for college
    not even sure which one i'm going to =.=
    even form 6 is in the picture now
    i got to meet up with esther from the <3 FTI forums
    was soooooo cool to finally see her again! XD
    if not, we would have had to wait till the next SuJu or DongBang concert
    T____T
    we crapped and crapped at mcdonalds
    all about Korea, no doubt!
    she's sooooooo lucky to have a korean teacher!!!
    it'll be hilarious once i can call someone my SONSAENGNIM~
    ahh~ i dun think i'll ever stop if i do XD
    another thing i liked abt that particular day was
    i got to stare at those skaters at the rink
    just looking made me feel like i was gliding on the ice with them X)
    got to buy a book as well.....
    ex-girlfriends united! XD
    i got it cheap so....BETTER!
    went back later and devoured the book ;)

    ________________________________________________________________

    some emo-random thing i wrote in the train...was in that sentimental feeling after finishing 'The Teahouse Fire'..indulge me. ^^

    the passing minutes
    weren't the same
    tears brimmed, eyes watered
    when we last laid eyes on each other
    as this train coughs further and further
    carrying me away
    from where you were
    our memories played and replayed
    like a broken record
    repeating and repeating
    as though i'd forget them
    if i hadn't done that

    i guess we didn't have the chemistry
    i thought we did in the beginning
    but now that i've embarked on my journey
    i will not turn back
    i'll work hard and
    head towards my happy ending...
    i just hope that you would be happy too
    and forget me as i will forget you
    stop missing me as i will stop missing you
    stop thinking about me as i will stop thinking about you

    then perhaps one day,
    one day we can face one another
    with a mask protecting the past
    utter the simple word, "hello"
    manage a handshake with no falter
    and then walk away like
    like we had practised it forever
    but deep inside we each know
    nothing can replace that tiring sorrow
    but if...if you have someone
    someone else...someone better or worse
    i wouldn't mind
    because i knew you weren't mine
    from the very beginning of time
    till that day by River Clandestine
    you weren't mine

    ~~~~~ <3

    tiring day again....spent 40% of my day sleeping XD
    woke up to the screaming of my niece
    "MANNDDDYYYYYYYY KOOOOOORRRRRR KKOOOOOOOORRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"
    my sweeeet dream ended abruptly *boo!*
    then she threatened me with a "if u dunwan 2 wake up, nonid go pavilion u knw"
    mau ke tak mau oso need 2 wake up ler
    i was aiming for a new buk ;)

    the journey to pavilion was rather interesting XD
    I SAW THE KOREAN NAVY!!!!!!
    around 20 of them were buying passes for the monorail at KL Sentral
    there were onli 2 women la!! they looked soooo cool!
    the guys were -.-
    nt even gentleman enough in the monorail
    din giv place 4 me n my niece to sit...grrrr~
    it was nice listening to their fluid korean though
    muahahahahahahaha~
    my bro joked that i breathed n lived the korean experience for that 15 mins XD
    not too bad

    pavilion was full of sarcasm n confusion
    a guy was wearing a pastel print tee with BRIGHT blue skinny jeans!
    the way he walk oso one kind =D
    looked like he was sleep walking
    a lot of yuppies and professionals thr 2day
    immediately attacked times bookstore for my harapan
    saw 3 for the price of 2!!!!!!!! XD
    so high when i saw the books on display
    toooo bad...i onli brought RM50 to limit myself
    so juz walk around drooling n contemplating which one 2 buy
    settled for a japanese book~
    i'll do a review when i'm done XD

    went to liyin chinese fusion for lunch
    I ADORE THE CARROT CAKES!
    but the waitress was ahem a lil' selfish in her info-sharing
    ordered three bowls of 'phi tan chuk' expecting the mini-mini ones they serve at dim sum restaurants
    manalah tau the 'chuk' came in 'vases'! huge man~~
    in the end oso ta pau onli
    went home n sleeeeeeppppppp~ until my auntie shouted >.<

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    i'm beginning to be weirded out by wad people are saying to me these days
    kinda unusual to hear these things
    unusual with a capital U
    even people i never talked to laaaaaaa
    scary~~~~ *owl hooting*
    makes me wonder what aura i'm giving off to people around me
    guess i'm one of a kind XD *perasan lah ni*


    got a free pedicure scheduled 2moro so toodles!!!!


    10:38 PM


    Wednesday, December 3, 2008

    wah~ today was by faaaaaaaaarrrr the most tiring day ever

    my niece n nephew so high..i cannot cope with their energy

    one was jumping up and down

    the other was walking mabuk-ly around

    aduhai...call them stop oso wont man

    luckily they decided to recharge separuh jalan

    at least i can rest a while

    wanna gila wif kids need tonnes of mitochondrion for ATP energy

    playing with them for 30 mins is equivalent to intensive taekwondo for 3 hours

    play until muka pun pucat

    i finally gave up n sat by d tv ignoring their calls for games of masak-masak etc.

    i'm either the waitress, student, chef, or customer nia

    no boss roles for me XD

    went out with my auntie for dinner at d Wai Sek Kai opposite UTAR

    the uncle was quite xcited to hear ppl speaking hokkien in selangor

    he started speaking in hokkien oso XD

    then he hung around our table to eavesdrop..cute la =)
    when a family walked in, i realize how multiracial malaysians are now
    father-indian, mom-chinese, son-in-law-I think he's aussie, another son-in-law-obviously English, daughter-in-law-African....FUH! then u knw la the grandkids...mix ade...cantik-cantik & hansem-hansem belaka
    I ter-thought of gwei theen pulak...her future husband....blonde hair n blue eyes
    but her kids sure take after her wan la..I heard somewhere that asian genetics are stronger than the ang mor lang. source-unknown..probably some auntie

    my auntie's friends are all crappos like young-ins
    I got them started about facebook n friendster
    they started blaming the doctor of the gang for forwarding invitations when they didnt even knw how 2 operate the account XD
    with flushed faces and excited voices, they went on n on about their friends n acquaintances
    i sit thr dengar pun syiok =)
    then one of the ladies' husband n brother came n turut serta before we left
    can sense the happy life of retirement in their topics
    the good ol' days
    finally, they decided to go home...i bet the uncle was a bit disappointed we were leaving so early
    he kept asking my auntie's gang to sit sit sit sit XD

    went home n KO!!
    =D


    10:31 PM


    Tuesday, December 2, 2008

    expected to do nothing but laze around today
    so kinda lepak-ed until my aunt said my cousin-in-law's family wanna take us (me n my bro) out
    but still i dawdled n played wif my BLuRRR nephew, Gregory or Gwegowey *my way of calling*
    he woke up smiling today
    a sure sign of good mood n smooth sailing ahead XD

    then we headed over to midvalley megamall
    woaaa~ eventhough it's a tues...
    the parking bays were still full
    A - FULL
    B - 349 bays left
    C - FULL
    D - FULL
    E - FULL
    so...masuklah parking bay B
    eventhough they claim got 349 free but still have to pusing pusing around
    then, we saw a whole lot empty...turns out "SEASON PASS ONLY"
    =.='" wth..so their 349 included the season pass holders' bay...swt!
    jejak kaki into the new refurbished midvalley..
    i bagai rusa masuk kampung onli man...so sesat
    i bet that look was plstered all over my face XD

    went to Chopsticks for lunch...
    according to Gabby (my niece) i could work as one of the waitresses thr
    apparently coz i'm wearing red..lolz~
    the food was okay onli la...probably coz their wantan mee kenot beat the one back home
    WAH! Pek kong teng wan wantan mee is the BESTTT!
    then jalan jalan around midvalley...
    noticed how commonly gals in kl dress
    majority will wear denim miniskirt with spaghetti-strapped blouse...form fitting of course...with wobbly heels
    my advice- tak tau jalan jangan pakai laaaa...in d end walk like ducklings toddling around onli =D kinda amusing to watch oso la actually...
    d guys here are more toned down compared to penang wan la
    penang wan....c oso knw they take few hours prepping juz 2 hang out at gurney, prangin or queensbay...autocity pun ada XD

    d evening was funny!!!
    my cousin-in-law's side of d family invited my bro n i over 4 dinner
    makan-makan n cakap-cakap onli la
    nothing much
    but the kids' telatah....
    renders me speechless
    the house was still party under redecoration
    so there were a few planks by the living room
    the kids thought they dropped from the roof XD
    somehow or other, i ended up talking about study options with the guys thr
    a Taylors alumni kept promoting Taylors....
    it was funny how he went round and round
    but still end up saying, "Taylors the best la."
    Free promo eh?
    then i discovered one of the fellas thr,
    his gf is lecturing chemistry in Taylors
    yeng lo!!!!

    at the end of the day....i LOVED the feeling
    of the pillow on my cheeks (even if it wasn't mine)
    and the blanket on my feet (it wasnt mine either)
    and the air cond turned up to 23 degrees (still felt cold though)


    5:42 PM

    flying away by plane XD
    more specifically...Firefly!
    was so blur when we were supposed to board
    hehe...lead my auntie, bro and some unknown lady the wrong way
    there were a few Fireflies there maaa
    1 to medan, 1 to phuket, and finally 1 to subang jaya
    i'm supposed to go to subang jaya XD
    but headed towards d phuket one
    pitiful laa...take me on Firefly more often k?
    GUESs WAAD! i saw my ex-hip hop dance teacher there XD
    he din recognize me lah~ poor eventhough i smiled ...malunyaa~

    the plane was okay..not as noisy as people claimed
    but the TWO ladies...all dressed up in designer labels (i saw LV..fake wan kua XD)
    but their mouths =.=""" louder than my niece man!
    the man in front politely ask them to keep their voices down
    still, as the plane soared, their voices turut increase! @.@
    soooo pissing off!! I tried "sshhhhhhhh~"ing them a few times....obviously fail la
    not meaning to be rude but if
    my bro n my age both add up oso younger than anyone of them ;)

    was quite excited to see my niece after so long le..one year ++
    as usual she chatted non-stop
    kinda reminds me of me back in the day XD
    PARROT!!! crapping all the way from subang airport until sampai my aunt's hse in kelana jaya
    she stopped a few times to cough though
    poor child down with slight symptoms of flu
    her grandma says,"Good girl want to get better must not drink ice kay??"
    she's more kuai than me la
    was a rebellious little brat during childhood
    maybe puberty sobered me down XD
    the most amusing part of my day was my nephew's face when he first saw me
    his eyes!!! round n innocent man...kinda brimming wif tears coz he just ended a tantrum
    sorryyy~ no pics. Prohibited my parents
    Still his blur face is the cutest in the world!!!!!
    but when he smile..it makes me suspiscous abt wadeva he'll be doing next

    didn't do anything much~ slept in d afternoon
    ran around in the evening
    sat in front of the tv later
    my drama 'You're My Destiny' was soooooo tension-ing man!!!
    FYI- Korean drama on KBS World Astro 303 weekdays 7.20-8.00pm *promo a bit =)*
    wakakakakakakaka

    my conclusion of the day is....i admire grandmoms n moms for putting up wif their kids thru out their rages n tantrums n times of maximum psycho-ness. My niece n nephew showed me the craziness they do everyday...and was i amazed! they scream like hell, cry buckets n pails but my aunt still layan them nicely. if it were me, i would've naik berang~ and boooo them away XD

    await more news of nieces, nephews n relatives this two weekss~
    byebye!
