Modem

My modem was struck by lightning on May 25th (if I'm, not wrong). Then, it was one week that we couldn't surf the Net. Thanks to my sis.

It was fortunate that the lightning didn't strike our System Unit, or it would have cost us a lot. Even after 2 strikings! Whew...

The modem could not be repaired. The area for connection line is broken down (though the modem still can be turned on). We got a new, but different model modem, which I believe, is faster.

Thank goodness, now I can surf the Net again! I need it for my studies.

Now my family has learnt a lesson. *When I told them and practised to pull out the plugs during thunderstorms, they don't take a damn.*
Now everytime when there's lightning, they don't watch TV, and even pulled our every plugs for TV and PC. Haha! Now they know.

(吉隆坡訊)大搞曖昧關係的張敬軒(軒仔)和王菀之(Ivana),在音樂會上繼續“傳情”,王菀之更憑歌寄意,向軒仔作出“愛的告白”。

Ivana害羞的說:““我因為《Blessing》這首歌愛上軒仔……”,隨後軒仔演繹此曲,Ivana則在旁含情脈脈地為他伴唱。


《張敬軒&王菀之創作音樂會》於週日(4日)晚上在綠野仙蹤露天水舞劇場舉行,前半段節目2人各自登場,所以未有見到2人互動的一面,直至2人同台談各自的偶像時,軒仔清唱辛曉琪的《味道》,Ivana竟出其不意地拿出紙巾為軒仔抹汗,鎂光燈閃個不停,2人搶版面成功。

後來輪到Ivana清唱偶像王菲的《約定》,邊唱邊與軒仔四目相投、深情對望。這對緋聞男女也合唱了《手望(守望版)》,在現場歌迷的起哄下,2人更大方地在台上十指緊扣呢! (光明日報/娛樂‧2006/06/05)

A lesson

I was met with a BIG problem last two weeks. On May 25th. (maybe)

Our modem was struck by lightning! It was fortunate that it didn't strike our System Unit, that would have costed us a lot!

My sister was using the Computer when the incident occurred. I was lucky to get back home right before the thunderstorm started. I found my sis using the PC, but too bad, I didn't realise that the PC should not be used during thunderstorms. Well, If it were me, I would have closed the PC right away.

But she didn't. And even after the first thunder struck and our electric power was cut off, she kept the PC open. ANd goodness, a second one struck and cut off our power again. After that, my elder sis made her turn the PC off. But it was too late.

When I wanted to get online that night, the connection wasn't right. A few days later, after my dad sent it for repair, the problem was found out that the area for connection line was down.

Last Friday, we got a new modem. A different model. Somehow, the fixing task 'automatically' fell on me. Anyway, I thought it was fun...haha. But having some trouble, I finally got everything done at night.

Weeeee! Can surf the Net again!

Obstacles

Few weeks ago, I was very excited about it.

Last 2 weeks, I was equally excited, but worry came.

And last week, I wasn't excited anymore. I was very down.

I had been waiting for that very day. The day I can go on stage to receive my prize from the school. The day I can see my friends again. The day I can see my teachers again.

However, very unfortunately, the day clashes with a test at U. I thought I would just skip class that day, if not for the test. I couldn't choose between the two, go for the ceremony, or the test. When I finally decided to give up attending the ceremony, I felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, very sad and disappointment.

Who should I blame? The lecturer, for 'misunderstanding' me, or the school, for delaying the ceremony (to Teachers' Day)? Haiz... I guess I can't blame anyone, It's something which we have to go through in life, we have to make many choices. The choice is up to myself. I can't have a cake and eat it.

Well, now that it's over, I don't feel so sad anymore. Still a bit of regret, but I let it go. Attachment only causes suffering. Hopefully I will meet my friends this week (as they are having holidays now). Hope to have a good time then!

What A Day...

Wow! A day of happiness and... 'sadness'. The sad thing is, my friends saw Lim Yee Chung in Central Market, possibly filming his drama. It was at about 1.45pm, when I was still in the LRT. Damn! Now I really missed him. It's funny, coz my friend just came from there to work in KLCC. Anyway, guess that I don't have the luck to meet him, yet, hopefully will. By the way, my friend said that he was in front of a shop, not sure of which one. They don't really know what he was doing there. Heehee...

Okay, the happy thing! I 'finally' met my DEAR friend on the LRT! When I knew she was travelling to her college in Central Market by LRT, I had hoped to be able to 'crash' into her on the LRT. Like the dramas. Haha! And now I really did! I was waiting at the door where I don't usually wait, and when the Train was stopping, I noticed her inside, and she did too! Wow... such a great surprise! Was so Glad to see her that I wanted to hug her! Haha.. but I didn't, coz I'm afraid to be summoned, or get beaten up by her BF (which she just told me). Didn't have a long chat, coz she was going off at KLCC, which is only about 3 stations away.

My 'working' days started today, and the first job is typing. Might be boring, but not so tough, and the lecturer was quite friendly.Hope it will be okay throughout the semester.

P/S: Yesterday can be considered an "unlucky" day, because on my way back home, I missed the Edu-Van, the Star LRT and Putra LRT. Geesh.

*Appreciate what you have and the people around you.*

Stefanie Sun's Concert

Date: May 6, 2006
Venue: Genting Arena of Stars
Time: 8.00pm

My sisters and mom went there with my cousin Heck. we waited for other cousins to join us. Was a bit surprised to find my little niece Candy tagging along. Haha! Such a lucky girl (she's seen Jolin Tsai live before, and now Stefanie!)

The opening was quite interesting. She started with a soft and sweet song (just a few lines), then disappeared and came out with a fast note! It was very cool!

I didn't note down the songs that she sang, but it was all great performance. She had a wig on, that is, long hair, which made her look very beautiful and super! Her dressing were as colorful as usual, and her dance moves added excitement to the concert. In the end, during the encore, she came out with a "stick" (don't know how to name it), and played 'Mexican Wave' with the audience. Aha! That was the fun part.

We had such a great time, cheering and shouting and screaming, although she's not really in my favourite list, but I do like many songs of hers. My cousins too, turned really 'high' (though they are more than 10 years older than us!) Cousin Heck had the most memorable time. During a time when Stefanie came down the stage to shake hands with the fans, (I was unlucky...)he ran to the front very quickly and managed to hold Stefanie's hand with both his hands! Hahaha! He was really excited and kept repeating that he held her hand! With both hands! And didn't want to let go! Hehe... *I thought he would not be able to sleep that night, but he did anyway, before nay of us did! I suggested that he would not wash his hands anymore...haha... but he did anyway! hehe*

We left the arena after the encore, and so, unfortunately missed a solo presented by Stefanie herself after the concert. According to the paper, she came out in normal dress code to 'shoo' the remaining fans. In order to satisfy them, she sang a few line of 2 songs. Wow... the fans are definitely lucky!

Before the start of the concert, we heard and noticed a guy coming in from another gate (not in use). Heard people said it was John, the <> winner, and when I looked, I only saw his back with a bag, but it looked very like him! However, the paper mentioned that Daniel Lee was there for the concert, hmm... was that him instead? No idea...

---------------------------

To end the day (or rather night), we all went for supper at Desa Setapak. (Supper is very special to me... I haven't really had any for long! Haha!) The "great" thing was, I rained cats and dogs while we were eating. We were half wet by the time we reach home, let alone the 'drivers', Cousin Heck and Cousin Boon. Except for Cousin Boon and his little family, the other cousins stayed at our house for the night.

Though we are quite disappointed by the fact that David Tao's concert has been postponed to October, this one is very satisfying... for the moment. Happieee...

1st week at school

So I finally settled down. I'm currently studying at University College Sedaya International. 1st day of school was on 2nd May 2006.

Gotta say, it's reali boring to be here all alone. With no friends at all joining here with me, I feel really miserable.

I thought I could cope with the 'presure' of loneliness, but as days go by, I started to feel fed-up and tired of this life. Travelling for 2 hour (without sitting for at least an hour) everyday, then walking in the campus like an alien, without friends... Haiz...

As the weekend passed, I feel very down whenever I think of school. For the 1st week, not much class was conducted, the most important thing is ATTENDANCE. Pooh! Some lecturers even think of taking about 20 minutes to do the attendance!

Not that I haven't acquanted anyone at all. On the 2nd day I met a girl who is a senior; she's one year older than me, and she offered me many tips around the campus, and accompanied me. That's my 1st friend here, Angie. In physics class, I acquanted Kar Mun, who is also a scholar, but her scholarship is from UCSI.

On Friday, I met with a problem of 'time-clashing' of subjects. The Lab time for Physics clashes with Malaysian Studies, so we have to choose. Finally settled it today, where the Lab time will be on Thursday. However, My Course Selection hasn't been approved yet. That means my name won't be on the attendace list yet.

Now is the free time, waiting for a class at 3.30pm. It's a cool thing there's a computer lab here, where we can get online.

Won't be tooooo bored after all. Hopefully.

My Future Path

I attended an interview session on 22nd April at Sin Chew office for Sin Chew Scholarship. I waited for more than 2 hours before my turn, because the interview was about half an hour for one person, and finally, my turn! I was interviewed by another person, it went out quite smoothly, though I was the usual nervous lad.

After that, the next few days was to consider whether to take up this course. I applied for Electrical and Electronic Engineering in University College Sedaya International (UCSI). Why consider it even before getting a reply? That's because I have only about 1 day to consider it if I ever get the scholarship. I was to start attending the orientation on 26th April. Besides this, I am waiting for a reply from Matriculation, which I have tried to appeal, and there's also Form 6 as an option.

By luck, I was offered the scholarship! After all the consideration and worries and everything, I decided to accept the offer. Part of the reason is that since I have a chance to do a course I am interested in, it is a good chance for me, whereas if I take up STPM, I may not have a course I desire in local university. ANd in fact, I am so so afraid of STPM, which is more academic and self-study, and the standard is way up higher than that of SPM. As for matriculation, I doubt that I have any chance of getting it, moreover, it is better to do a course in English rather than in Malay.

Though I met with some problems these two days, and I'm quite anxious about my classes which will start next week, I feel that it will turn out okay in some time. One tough thing: I have to face with the reality that a larger percentage of the students are male, and in fact, I may be the only girl in class! Wow! Makes me sweat even thinking of it. No way turning back, I'll have to cope with it, though now I may be very scared, I still don't know the real situation by then. Let's just hope for the best. I still have my best friends back here to support me!

Good luck to myself and also my friends out there!

Yee Chung: A warmth in the heart

Though it seems quite true and 'mystical' that Lim Yee Chung brings rain to everywhere he goes (it started raining heavily since he came back to Malaysia about 1 week ago) since his name rhymes with "getting wet in the rain", it always feels very warming when I see him or hear his voice and listen to his songs. There has to be something that makes him a darling to Asian fans!

Yee Chung is back in Malaysia since last week for his album promotion sponsored by DiGi. Last night (April 15) was his music showcase at Dewan Wawasan, PGRM. It started raining about one hour plus before the event at 8pm. Upon arrival, there were long queues of fans waiting outside the hall. We got our tickets from the MY Fm Counter, bought 3 albums (with free DiGi packs), and did some registration. *My cousin even bought a reload card just to get a poster! Lots of thanks to him!* At around 7.40pm we(VIP ticket holders) were let into the hall to the right side for My Fm winners. Then, it was waiting again. Yee Chung, who was stuck in the rain and traffic jam, was late for more than 45 minutes. But the moment he appeared on the large screens showing him in the backstage, the audience turned crazy! he apologised for being late while doing a bit of last-minute make-up. Minutes later, he appeared from the main entrance, singing [Xia Ban Bei Zi] which he wrote for Jordan Chan. He walked through the crowd and up the mini-stage, and later proceeded to the main stage in front. He said that he started the special event with this song because this was the first song that introduced him to the entertainment circle. On stage, he interacted with the MC Phoebe and even responded to the fans.

Other songs that he sang were [Bu Da Yang De Dian] and [Shi Lian Xue]. While singing [Gong Ti Bei], he came down the stage and shook hands with the fans. No one wanted to miss this chance, and of course rushed up to him to hold his hand! *HaPpIe!* Then, he proceeded to the mini-stage.

On the mini-stage near the middle of the hall (specially set up for this showcase), He sat in the black sofa with Phoebe in the so-called 'his room'. Phoebe acted as a girl who really admired him, challenged him with many 'affectional' questions. she even said that because of this, Yee Chung didn't dare to look her in the eye! Haha! The important thing is, she concluded that Yee chung is a good man, and that if we girls want to get a boyfriend, he should be like Yee Chung! * And that's for sure! Heehee!* (And I guess his face turned red! haha!) This was followed by him playing the guitar unplugged while singing the songs [Ni Hen Hao]*Ah Du*, [Ye Ku Guo]*Tao Zi*, [Xia Xue]*Ah Du* (all composed by him), and an English song he loves [If]. All the songs were delivered nicely, and the audience replied with rounds and rounds of applause.

He went back to the main stage again, and delivered his 'last' song [Zai Jian]. Such a touching song... my current favourite! He 'left' for the backstage. as expected, the corwd roared Encore, led by Phoebe, and shouted for him. Then we saw him on the screen again (and I really like to watch these because he looked so cute that way... and very sincere!). and Then, he appeared on stage again, giving an encore song of his hit single, [Kao An]. He came down the stage again, and we rushed up to him again. *very normal scene during artists' showcases, but very exciting!* Luckily, I got to shake his hand again! Twice! (crazy ya...) And that was the end of the music show.

I felt sad that that was the end, but up next was the autograph session. Thank goodness we have 3 copies of the album (so that all 3 sisters can get on stage). It wasn't quite a long queue, and that's benefit, because we got to stay on stage longer and there was no need to be shooed by the staff (as it happened in Vic's showcase). He signed the album whole-heartedly, looked at us and thanked us with a smile. I managed to 'slip' in a sentence "hao hao xiu xi o" (hope you will take a good rest), and he replied "xie xie! xie xie!", so nice, so sweet!

In the end, he thanked us again, let the fans take some photos, and shook hands again. I was in luck again because my place was quite 'strategic', but later I was pushed and almost lost my balance! (Thank god I didn't 'pok kai'.. hehe! But if I did, would Yee Chung save me? Haha! Dream on!) And finally, he left.

I'm reali touched by the way he treats his fans, and his devotion to his fans. This was the best ever autograph session I've attended! and he is the most friendly artist I met! *Gosh! I'm melting!* I wish all the best to him.
Sadhu sadhu Sadhu!

I miss my class

It's been more than 4 months... I really miss my classmates. I am so sad and disappointed that no one (except for a few) visits our forum, our main site for 'meeting', whatsoever...
Dear classmates, please come back. Come into the webpage, it's the only thing that tie us together now.

At the Crossroads...

I am at a crossroad, but not knowing my destination, I don't know which way to go.

A few weeks earlier, it was the time to apply for scholarships. And yesterday, I went for an interview at Alif Creative Academy for the architecture course. It went on quite okay, I tried to be calm and natural, but then for some of their challenging questions, I feel that my response wasn't so good. after the interview, I was required to do a sketch on 2 pieces of paper, without eraser. That was tough, and it took me quite some time.

Although really hoping to get the scholarship, I am getting doubtful of whether I can proceed my Bachelor degree. I thought I would be able to cope with the fees by getting loan, however, I was mistaken that the sum of money required to do a degree for architecture overseas was for only a year, and NOT the whole course. WOW! I will have to spend at least 3 time (for 3 years)! Now, I really don't know what to choose. Should I join the college with the scholarship to pursue my dream, or should I just get a more secured course like accountancy? My dream really cost a lot... and yet I really don't know if it's considered a dream. I am SO messed up!

Am I thinking too much? Why do I not have an ambition, something I really want? should I just follow my parents' suggestion? I am getting really tired... tired of thinking, what do I expect in the future? Even more worries? haiz...what does the future stand for me?

MY DAY!!!

Hey hey! It's my day! It's my birthday TODAY! Hmm... dunno why I'm really excited about my birthday this year, maybe it's because I finished a major exam and is 'allowed' to enjoy this year! haha!

I got my first wishes from my best friend, Lee Eng, who called me even before 12 am. she helped me get info on the courses I'm thinking of applying for my scholarship. Thanks a lot to her. We chatted over the phone for 3 hours and 40 minutes! NEW RECORD! So my birthday started off with chatting over the phone...1st time in history.

I woke up quite late this morning. But it seems it's just another boring day. I do hope people remember it. But like any other year, even my family members don't really realise. hehe... ok then, i still keep myself happy! CHEERS!

Up till now, no celebration planned. hah. Got an early 'birthday gift', that is I got tickets to attend Lim Yee Chung's showcase! Yay!

another special event on this very day is, the first day of F4 Forever 4 Concert which will be held in Hong Kong during March 22-25. And, of course, I left a message (dunno whether he will get it) for Ken, wishing him good luck.

Hello Ken!
It's a sunny day to day in Malaysia, unlike the few days before. It seems a normal and usual day like any other day, but I feel an extraordinary happiness in my heart. I cant help smiling, thinking about this day. Yes, It's the day of the long-wited F4 Forever 4 Concert! And it is also my birthday today!

Unfortunately I have no chance of watching the concert live in Hong Kong. However, I still want to share my best wishes with you and the other F3 and may you be blessed to succeed this concert. Although I don't know what 'mysterious' performance you will be presenting, I am sure you will try your best in delivering you message, and it is going to be an enjoyable one!

May the Buddha be with you and F4 always!
Smile Always (your smile will brighten up the whole world)!!!

regards,
Kyflein


I wish the day is the happiest for everyone else too! SADHU SADHU SADHU!

This week...

A week ... not too busy... but quite exciting!

Monday, was the most exciting of course, as i mentioned earlier. The result day, the reunion. And got calls on and off from relatives and friends. =D

Tuesday, nothing much.

Wednesday. I have been trying to call in My FM for the F4 Forever 4 Concert Contest ince last week. This day, I finally got through the line. But then, I was told by the DJ that I was the 1st caller through, while they were looking for the 4th caller. But I doubt if it was true. To say the truth, I didn't follow the regulations to say the name of the contest and blablabla as I was REALLY nervous and very SHOCKED the time the phone was answered. Maybe because of that and that my phrase wasn't good enough, I lost my chance. Disappointment started coming, I still regret for my performance which was bad. The more hope, the more disappointment... My dear F4...once again I missed the chance to seeing you live...

Thursday was a very nice day. The night before, I got invited by Kazeendra to go 'wet' at Karaoke. It was a tough time getting my parents consent (as it was late). We went to Neway at Times Square... my first time "cheong K" with my friends. There were 4 of us, others include Shuwen and W Wei. They were to go to National Service soon. It was such fun, singing and screaming and shouting like anything, no need to care about the quality of the voice. After that, we went to the food court where we had a drink and some food. Then it was window shopping for us, while accompanying Kazeendra to look for an item she wanted to buy. There was a dancing competition there, which we peeped in for a while. It started raining at about 4 something, which was trouble for me to go home. Finally, we went inside again and had a drink and chat. I didn't know what time the rain stopped, but by the time I reached home, it was 7.30pm. Wow... definitely no next time!

Friday night, our fanily was invited for dinner at Klang. later we went to a club for Karaoke...again. Not as 'modern' as Neway though...haha!

Saturday, my elder sis and I along with my dad went to the Open day at TAR College. We are still very indecisive of what course to choose. As for me, I'm still not sure whether I should continue my studies in Form 6 or just enter collge and take diploma in computer science, since I find some interest in that. haiz... really 'breath-taking' thinking about that.

Today, was just another sunday, after our sunday school, my parents gave us a treat at Pizza hut to celebrate our results. Finally I can sink my teeth into the amazing Atlantis pizza1

The Thank-You's

Gettng such a result is considered an achievement to me. Without the help of many people around me, I don't think I would be able to get here. I now dedicate my thank-yous to everyone who's been giving what I needed.

First of all, to my teachers, who have been giving their best (mostly) to prepare us for the exam. Thanks for the effort to educate us, and your advice to guide us.

To my classmates and friends, thanks for encouraging me, and striving with me throughout the year. Your company had helped me through moments of up and down.

To my beloved parents, thank you very much for all that you have done. Dad, your role as my 'tutor' had definitely helped me a lot, and your words of wisdom and comfort had always brought the collapsing soul in me up. Mom, your effort too, had ease my days of striving, it will never be forgotten. Love you both.

My sisters had been by my side always. My 'Jie Jie' who was also sitting for STPM, gave me tips to tackle the questions. My little sis had been cheering me up, and helping me in doing housework. A big Thank you to both of you!

To my relatives, who have high expectations for us 3 sisters, thanks to you too. Your expectations have given me pressure (which I don't like), but it acted as stimulation for me to work harder.

To the examiners and the Ministry of Education (haha!), Thanks for checking my papers! And despite my silly mistakes (those that I know of), you have let me through. Thanks again.

To everyone else whom I have carelessly left out, thank you all a lot for your regards and support. Without all of you, I don't know what would have become of me.

THANK YOU again! AND CONGRATULATIONS to my friends and fellow candidates for their achievement. All the best to you!

The Day of Judgement!

March 13, 2006.
The Day of Judgement.
The Day of Reunion as well.

It was the day I have been very anxious about. It's when my life iwas going to change forever. A week back, we were confirmed that we were to get our SPM results the very day. And I strated getting very down the few days before that. I was really very nervous and afraid to face the day. Didn't know what to expect. Didn't dare to hope.

The morning of the day, I spilled my drink. The night before, I got some cuts on my finger and leg. I thought, oh my god, what does this mean? Is it because of something going to happen? oh god...

I arrived in school at around 10.25am, finding some people had taken their results. I was really scared even to look at my teacher and friends. Worse off, I found my friend Wei had a B on her result slip. Her grades were higher than me in class, and now... what should I expect? I still didn't dare to sit on that 'special' chair yet. I kept on waiting for my friend Eng and get the result together. As I gradually getting ready to face the truth, I heard my teacher Cik Azma talking to Choon Lin, and I thought I overheard my name. WHAT?? What about me? Then I heard "...best student..." ??? Was blur, was scared. Now I got more anxious.

Finally, around 11am, my dear Lee Eng arrived. I got my result first. Had to sign on some papers (certificates), while Cik Azma looked at my result. Heart beating so fast! SHe said, "BM, Sejarah, BC..." I forgot what she said in the end, as I quickly peeped over to see my result. OH MY GOODNESS! I got all A's!!! SOOOOO HAPPY! AND RELIEVED! though it wasn't all A1s, I guess I'm quite satisfied with this, since I had been so afraid that a "round-headed fugure" will be present (B). *"A" is sharp-headed*

While Lee Eng sat down to get her slip, I couldn't wait to send a message to my dad. I guess he has been waiting (unless he was too busy to bother about it) for my news. A few minutes later, he called to congratulate me. LAter, my mom, my sisters and even my youngest aunty, and a cousin called me. Thank you all. So did my classmates, and even some other friends from other class. Thank you guys.

After that, I went to yam char with Ley. Lee Eng was to join us at first, but her dad had to pick her up earlier coz he was busy. So the two of us went to Kang Cheng Teahouse for lunch. Beleive me, the teahouse was packed! So we had to wait at the TV corner. It seemed funny, just the two of us, but then, Ley was cute and funny, so I was quite 'entertained' by her! Haha! Both of us ordered a 'Baked Portuguese Chicken Rice', which tasted quite good, not spicy (Ley didn't like spicy food). Halfway through eating, we were joined by a group of 4 boys from our class. Somehow, they had more plans, and just came over after hanging out at the Cybercafe. We joined their table later, and left soon. Called it a day.

Back home, I was of course happier than when I left the same morning. Cheers.

pressure...

With the Day of Judgement approaching, the pressure becomes more and more. 13th of March, I really don't know what to expect. I have a high aim, but I have not much confidence on it. What if my achievement does not meet the expexctations of people who are around me? How am I gonna face them? And even worse, chances for scholarship become less. WWahhhh... PRESSURE!!! Wanna find a hole to dig my head in!
I can only hope for the best...
Good luck to myself and all my friends!

I got my P!

YEH YEH! Finally, after about 2 months of hard work (not very), nervousness, and frightening experience (haha), and a blind trip to JPJ, I got my LESEN MEMANDU PERCUBAAN MALAYSIA with a big "P"! Heehee... it's like an achievement.

However, I still cant drive...alone yet, I guess I have to pracitce for a few times under my parents' eyes. Hope it won't be long till I can drive on my own!

My condolences

I came online and was surpirsed yet glad to see my cousin who is in Singapore also online. Seconds later did I know that, her aunty had passed away early this morning.

My condolences to cousin Sie Chwen and her family over the passing away of their beloved aunty. Maybe her aunty rest in peace and be reborn in a better shpere or world.

It's always been a very hard time, seeing people leaving you, especially leaving you forever. It's an undeniable truth which everyone has to accept. The more important thing is, you know how to carry on your life after that. Be strong...

Hello Kitty!

Recently, since at least 2 weeks ago, a brown cat had been climbing in and out of our house balcony. The first guess is, of course, the cat having a family there. And indeed, I found 3 grey kittens while doing house chores one afternoon.

I just wonder how a pregnant cat would find such a place so high up to keep her babies. It is indeed a good place, as we seldom open our balcony, and there are so unused goods there which provide shelter for the little kittens.

The mother cat, that is the brown cat, is quite fierce, as it snarled at me when I opened the balcony door. She immediately shooed her kittens into the shelter after seeing me. Not wanting to cause any trouble (I was afraid that it would rush into the bedroom--my parents room), I closed the door quickly.

Actually I liked to see little kittens around my housing area, except that they would shit anywhere, I like to see them running around and playing. A few years ago there were 3 or 4 kittens which were different in colour, one of them was white, looked so cute. Sometimes they played in our garden, which was really funny. It was fun having some 'life' there.

I like feeding animals, especially young ones, but I am afraid they will start sticking to me and following me around. I have not much to spare for them, and if once they stick to me, I would be feeling very bad without anything for them, and of course, getting scolded. So, maybe it's better that they don't appear in front of my eyes, I would feel sorry for them.

Motorbike test

My heart was beating fats as I sat on the bench waiting for my turn. Except for the repeating candidates, I was actually the 1st one on the list. I was told to take the motorbike in front. It seemed like an old one, and... I had trouble starting the engine. I had to let the Person in-charge to do it, but then the engine "mati" again. Thank god this time I managed to start the damn motor. Waited till the road was clear, I started off. The damn bike was very bouncy, maybe because the tyres was a bit flat. I had to be extra careful. After the "8" road, came the bridge. This is the part deciding whether I pass or fail. If I dropped off the bridge, I would fail. I was not very slow, not as slow as I did during practice, but I crossed it successfully. Sadhu sadhu sadhu!

For the rest of the test it was okay, except that I didn't do all the signals during "On The Road" session. True, my reocrd had the 'menunjuk isyarat dengan betul' crossed. But anyway, I passed, with other marks.

And phew, that was done, after 4-5 hours of waiting and waiting. Next comes the driving test. This is even more scary, especially 'naik bukit'. After thinking over and over again, I finally decided to take an extra lesson of two hours to boost my confidence (I am always lack of confidence before tests and exams). I had it today, which was quite okay, only in the end I start to drool and didn't concentrate a lot as it was so hot during noon. Now, hopefully, I do my best in the test, and I'll also have to leave my luck to the car which I will get. Sadhu sadhu sadhu!
