Life has been different ever since entering university. Especially with the people around you.
They just are so unexpected.

Education in university is very different from our primary and secondary way. No more spoon-feeding. You gotta be hands on in order to receive what the course offers.

However, not just anyone or everyone would realise that. A few, for instance, still needs this kind of feeding DIRECTLY, a case worse than secondary school I bet. Got to know one such person in class. Not that I try to despise him, in fact, we tried to accept his way, tried to help him. But somehow, we are doing more harm to him, and more stress to ourselves. Especially to Lana, who is too soft-hearted to refuse his request for help.

So, decided to put an end to this. Or at least, reduce it. And I, was the one facing the challenge. Chaning seats with Lana was suffering indeed, with questions popping up from beisde me every few minutes.

But probably he had a surprise. Or maybe not. I'm just not as friendly as the nice sweet Lana. They were sitting beside an ALIEN~! I just didn't teach the same way. When our aim is to let him back off. It was bad of me, but I had no choice...

It's important to observe the people around you, your coursemates especially. I have been warned of these so-called 'parasites' ever since the first day I stepped into this university. We've gotta face the reality of the society.

Torn between

Things have got me thinking.

Friends have been suggesting that I move out to the area nearby university with them, which is more convenient compared to my everyday-trip to-and-fro Cheras. In some way, I was attracted by the idea, especially now that I seem to lose a lot of time doing things other than study. Besides, I will be able to get help from my knowledgable friends in my studies. And, there will be more time to spend with them, and go lepak-ing with them!

But there are a lot more to be considered.

I am a very 'family' person, I am very attached to my family members. Obviously, I place my family in the first place. I treasure every moment with them, coz you never know what's to come. I don't like imaginating the situation of me moving out, the lack of my role at home...

Staying at home, I get to eat home-cooked food, my mom's delicacies, healthier dishes. I can't stand eating out even for a continuous 3 days. And laundry is another problem. I'm just too lazy to do it...heehee...

If I were to move out, my cost of living will greatly increase. Everythings requires money. Rent, food, fees, transport. I might even need a new laptop, the fact that the computers at the lab isn't always available, and my bad habit of finishing work at the last minute.

I guess this whole idea isn't necessary for now. I only worry about the situation in future, during year 3 and year 4, which is described as much more HECTIC than now.

Any comments?

It's still CrAzY

The last time I would wish to happen. Falling sick right before examination.
And I did.

Caught a flu on Friday after 'hanging' out, prior to my YMBA exam on the coming Sunday.Kinda having a virus going on at home. So you all beware~!!

Have been trying to call in the radio station to win Rynn's new Edition album. Never succeeded when we want something so much. Yet got something else when my itchy hand called in for another contest~!
Which I was hesitating whether I should hang up the phone ... when the DJ Jason answered! Haha~!! And it was another signing on the radio!

My second time now, ever since last year when I sang 'Kao An', and now 'Xuan Lu'~!!
Rynn should be proud of me~ hehehe~~
Next time, I'll come with a guitar...

No chance for me to rest. the sequence goes:

YMBA > Assignment > Mid Term > Assignment > Mid Term > Assignment > ......

I have things planned out, yet I don't know where I should start from.
In other words, I'm lost...

The Tin Heaven

Went for a 2-day tour in Perak on June 8 (finally updating now~). The places where we pass by at least 6 times every year without stopping by...



Well, the destination was Teluk Intan, which became the Final Destination after a change of plan. Right after my horrible circuit theory test, we had a ride through the serving-no-purpose SMART highway......whcih was quite boring really...



On the way to the north, we stopped by Kampar for a famous gigantic "curry bun". As big as a turkey, haha. Then, since mom was so eager, we made a trip to the UTAR campus there. *The fact that I've never even really seen the Setapak campus.* Except that the location wasn't near town centre, the location was superb~!! With modern building styles, huge acres of land, a huge lake surrounding it, and blossoms of cute and rarely-seen flowers!! Wow...

Took some photos, but still cannot upload...hehe paiseh~~

Went off to Taiping, and visited the legendary Taiping Lake. The place looks a lot fresher than Titiwangsa Lake, and I especially love the huge trees which grow from one side of the road and reached their branches to the lake surface!

On the way down to Ipoh, we turned into Teluk Kertang and Matang to take a look at a cheap seafood restaurant reccomended by dad's colleague. TK was a typically small fishing village, which is smaller than my housing estate. The calmness and peace had me wanting to spend a day or two over there!

In Ipoh, we were to spend the night at a cousin's house. Got to see the cheeky Candy again! And she's learning piano! *envy~* We gurls were in luck, coz we got to watch the recorded Lee Hom's Taipei concert!! It was so much better than the Malaysia concert. And especially the guests to stand the stage with him - Westlife~!!! MRVELOUS~!!!

One unlucky thing was, we missed out the 'smelly taufu', which is a favourite of a pasar malam nearby. Hmm...

Next day, We went around Setiawan, hometown of Uncle Tan, where we had a famous cendol and nice Fuzhou food at Air Tawar. Make a trip to a local fame, a shop where delicious 'buns' were homemade.

Finally, at Teluk Intan, we climbed up the slanting tower. A place dear to me, I'd like to study the structure and design of the tower, which is kinda chinese culture influenced. A marvelous piece...

All the way back, we took the coastal road, which is rather long, of course, but a different experience. it's fun to go through different areas and towns. A relaxing view for a city person.

ARRGGGHHHHHHHH~~~!!!

Gimme a wall to bang my head~!!

I missed it!! The show I've been waiting for almost a whole month!
With Rynn! And I!!! Interviewed~!!

Thanks to YZ, who was watching CSI and FORGOT to watch out for that, only she who got to watch the repeat, we can only be her listeners...

Missed another repeat show AGAIN when we were watching Badminton matches~! SHOOOOOTTT...... I can't believe it... Why can't I get a bit luckier when it comes to programmes with Rynn?? Urghhhh....

No break

Tests finally over. Didn't do well.

Tortured myself with a jog after a whole month of no exercise. The body's gone stiff, so no matter how much I hate jogging, I gotta go for it...

Now it's time to bury my head in my Dhamma studies. Seems like it's been a month since I really revised. The pieces are still missing in the brain, when my aunty-and-uncle classmates are almost well-versed in everything!

And finally the Kuan Moo Tuan is open for registration!! Have been waiting for it, afraid that I would ever miss it. It's the best chance to tour Taiwan without being 'robbed' by some people who force you to shop!

AND~ It's a three weeks vacation!!! Walao... Imagine that, for a low price...
But still depends on luck. I do hope so much that I get picked~!!
Wish me luck~!! =)

Mission accomplished... not

Mission: watched Pirates OTC AWE with Kathleen and Catherine.
Accomplished.

Mission: Go karaoke-ing with them.
Unaccomplished.

Mission: Study HARD for Calculus II and Circuit Theory I.
Still under process of accomplish-ing.

Mission: Go for dentist appointment RIGHT before my Calculus test. And mostly be late for the latter.
To be accomplished with great nervousness.

Mission: Study and memorise Fundamentals stuff.
Wait till next week to accomplish.

Mission: Finish my assignments and lab report.
Lazy to accomplish.
No time to accomplish.

Mission: Go karaoke-ing with my new friends, Lana and Pheonix (and probably somebody else).
Hopefully gonna accomplish.

Conclusion:
I am having so many business!! I dreadfully need more time!!

And about the pirates. Not quite happy with the ending. The fact that I don't like heroes dying or changing to other unfortunate form... well, it's okay though. With most movies having the heroes safe and sound in the end, this is quite realistic.
The fact of "Death is certain." applies here.
K-ing plan pao tang again, as Kathleen was late.
Catherine seems certain to challenge the Mount of Kinabalu. Wooo... I salute her!
And she's pretty excited about the Rynn CD she got! =) of course, since Rynn wrote a "Happy Birthday" for her!!
Went all over Times Square looking for Voodoos!! Aiks... But they are quite expensive... thinking of making them by myself now. Just that I do not have the materials ... and time.
Yes! I still love making things, but haven't touch anything ever since Secondary school.
And I still love sketching! Out of the courses this sem, Design seems the 'most enjoyable'! Coz we gotta sketch... for now. And I wish the lecturer would not helpme that much...yet. Wait till my final project.

Life seems a lot more boring now, especially since I now have a class on Friday! There goes half a day of time every week...

Don't look forward to the tests, but look forward to the K-ing plan... 别再泡汤了~!!
