Day 7 & Day 8

Day 7
Nothing much happened today. Left house at 8.30 so that I have parking. Arriving at 9 o'clock, I hanged around HELP and went for breakfast at McD and saw Andrew Lee there. For those of you who don't know who he is, he was my group member for Business Admin. We had a lot of fun working on that project.

While waiting for my class to start at 11, I worked on my English slides and changed my title to 'Say no to fur' instead of 'animal cruelty'. Went for marketing class and English after that. Heard my friend's presentation and went home with Michelle. She stay until the night, in between we ate battered fish and hash brown that was nicely sitting in my freezer untouched. Michelle went back at night and Aunt Grace bought me 2 'Char Siew Pau'. Thanks Aunt Grace!!!

Day 8
Left house at 8.30 again and arrived at 9. I went to the computer lab to help Hui Ying with her psychology review and went for CTS class. After CTS, I went to English for my presentation. I showed them to video that I had of sealing and as usual, it created lots of expression on the lec and friend's face. Some went, Oh God!! Shit!! F*uk! all sort of expression came out. But who can blame them? the video was so cute at the beginning and it gave a freaking depressing ending. Through out the whole presentation, the lecturer's face was filled with horror and I think that topic had really affected her because I gave quite detailed information on how they kill the animals for fur. She wasn't laughing at the end of the presentation, and some even said that she had tears in her eyes. Shit! I made a lecturer cry!!!

This was the video I showed in my power point presentation

Came home and cooked some nuggets for lunch then worked on my marketing slides. Yes! this whole week is like presentation week. Tues I had critical thinking, today I had English and tomorrow I am having Marketing presentation. Seriously, I think for this sem, I am immune to presentation. Am not nervous or anything like that anymore but I think it will come back next semester.

By the time I was done with my slides it was about 5, so I went for a nap. Slept until 7, baked a pizza and read a ebook before watching Amazing Race Asia 3. Was so excited as i watch the race. Unfortunately, the Malaysian team didn't win but I am really glad the couple team from Philippines I think didn't win. I was like 'YES!!' when the HK guys won. I support whatever group except the couple because I don't really like them for some reasons.

Am watching Chinese series now and my mom called back that they are already in the airport. they will be reaching home at about 1am, so I guess I will be sleeping in my room later and not my parents room. Finally, they are back. Time without them was quite nice but I think I enjoy spending time with them better.

I would grade today 80%!

And that is the end of week long marathon update!! Cheers!

Day 5 & Day 6

Day 5
Let's see, one again, my week long marathon was disrupted. Hehe, this time, I had forgotten to update since I was too busy playing com games while being nervous about Critical Thinking presentation AND not doing anything about it.

Let's see...
I woke up about 12.30 to get ready to go to HELP since I promised my friend that I would be there earlier to help her with her speech for Critical Thinking. For the first time, I actually managed to park at the first row of HELP's parking space. Usually, my car would be at the very end of the parking space which really sux because by the end of the day, I would have forgotten the exact location of my car.

In HELP, I helped my friend with her speech and help cut double-sided tape for our CTS bookmark. then, we went to CTS class to listen to other group's presentation. It was kind of scary because the lecturers were banging the groups like crazy.

After CTS class, I went to Siew See's house to hang out for a while before heading off to Bangsar Village 2 for Sakae Sushi. In her house, I passed to her some e-books and pictures that I have. In BV 2, I bought 4 new storybooks using my credit card. Haha, Siew See was wondering if my dad would be angry if I spend so much money on books, but then, I guess he won't because I can say that I am bored and had nothing to do at home. Sides, he knew I love reading and could never resist a new book :D

Went home that night, prepared my CTS speech, played some games and went to bed. If I have to grade the day, it would be 80%?

Day 6
Woke up at 7.50am today because i had to be in HELP early once more for my CTS presentation. Today's the day!! surprisingly, I don't feel panic at all and the speech which I did not really memorized was already safely etched in my brain.

I promised Hui Ying that I would be there at 8.45 but because of traffic jam, I arrived there at 9 instead. Meet up and shorten her speech for her then Jason joined us. After seeing the both of them going bonkers trying to memorize their script, somehow their nervousness rubbed onto me and I started feeling nervous too! Amber joined us not long after that, and after finish touching up our bookmark, we left for class.

Today, there are 5 CTS groups from different tutorials that will be presenting. In my tutorial group, we are the only group presentating today. We somehow managed to secure a place to put up our posters and such but it turned up that the place we choose made us the last group to present. It was daunting, seeing how the teachers shoot the other groups idea down.

For example, before the first member of the first group could present, the lecturer asked another person who was in charged of a total different part of the presentation to explain. It was scary! seeing the guy trying to explain. Naturally, this scared my group members again and I had to brief them on every poster so that they at least knew what it was about.

The forth group, the group before mine was the worst. The lecturers shoot down their ideas like crazy. Since we are required to do handiwork for all our props, flyers and posters, the first thing the lecturer said was 'you poster is UGLY!' when she saw their poster. It was like OMG! and she shot their idea down until they could not answer her.

Then, it was my group. Jason was so scared that he forgotten his beginning, so he just jump straight to the points. I was okay, since I knew what I was talking about. Amber just described her points and Hui Ying was also very scared that she forgotten her speech. We didn't really get loads of questions, I think it's because we are the last group and the lecturers are running out of time. I think it's also because the topic is insanity defense and they might not have much idea on it since it's about LAW.

When we sent our stuff to the staff room, our lecturer told us that we did a good job. I was so happy! she said that our presentation is good and that our props are nice too! so yeah, I was really happy with the results.

Went to KFC for lunch, the went to Marketing and study skills class. turned out that I got 8/10% for marketing report and 10/15% for study skills report. For the marketing report, he told us that the other group did better, so does it mean that they got full marks? I donno, but i am quite satisfied with ours. Maybe our way of presenting the paper is different.

After class, Izzie, Mae and me went to pick Melissa up before heading to Centrepoint to buy food for our cook out. We cooked spagetti and it was quite nice, since it was the first time we actually cooked something together. :D haha... they left some leftovers for me, so I guess I will take that for dinner tomorrow.

Just came back from sending them home and am really tired. So i guess I will be going to bed soon. if I have to grade today, it would be 100%!! Full marks!! I guess I am getting use to the idea of an empty house. will post up pictures of my posters later. BYE!

Day 3 and Day 4

I was trying to do a week long marathon update kinda thing, but it obviously failed since I didn't update yesterday. It's not intentional though, I mean failing at the week long marathon update. It was kinda like an additional last minute thing that my couz came up with and it had spoil the whole marathon.

Day 3
It's the third day of home alone and I woke up really early. I had to go to Amber's hse to finish up my CTS project which is starting to get very annoying because of the heavy workload and the little marks. I mean, come on! 20% for 1 written report minimum words is 3000, 4 handmade posters cardboard size (no computer allowed), 2 different paterns of flyers (and each we will have to make 4), 2 other props which we choose bookmarks and notepads with with item we have to make 4 again AND presentation? WTH?? so many stuff for a measly 20%? it's so not worth it.

anyway, I woke up extra early that day and got ready around the house. Hui Ying messaged me and said that she might be arriving a little late while the other group member say he can't come at all because of a basketball competition. We were pissed off so we threaten that if he doesn't turn up this will go to the lec. After some time, he messaged me that he's in Genting (he's from there) and now he's taking the bus back. I was like yeah.. okay. you are having a basketball tournament in Genting? Anyhow, he turned up in the end.

We managed to finish everything on Sat and it was a huge relieve. We were late by 30 mins though. I was put incharged of touching up on my poster and adding stuff on Amber's while Hui Ying will do the bookmarks and Amber will finish up the flyers. Thank you God for good group members.

I headed to Bangsar right after that and it's safe to say that everyone was surprised that I turned up so early. They were scandalized that I was left alone at home for a week.

imagine this:
'where are your parents?'
'they are in Thailand'
'so you are alone with your brother?'
'Nope, my bro went with them'
'so you are alone at home? ALL ALONE??'
'errr.. yeah'

then the scene varies so would be...
'not afraid ar, staying alone at home?'
'erm, nope...'

others...
'you are really really alone at home?'
'yeah..'
'My Goodness! how could your parents leave you alone?'

*roll eyes*

you see, the moment they know I am alone at home, you could FEEL and HEAR the immediate censure in their voice. Sigh! I am 20 you know? So what if I came back from Australia? That doesn't mean I can't care for myself! I am not invalid you know! Just because I came back, it doesn't mean I go running to mommy everything I face a problem. But then, I guess after doing something like that, people are going think that you just can't stand on your two feet. they most probably think that since I can't survive alone in Aussie, I most probably can't survive here alone too.

In the end, I took the cowardly way out. Seriously. The whole evening and night I was hiding in my aunt room with my cousins. I could say that some people didn't even know that I was there that night!

Then my cousin suggested that I stay at her place for the night since her parents are in overseas too. it's fine for her to stay alone at home since she has 2 maids (one of them worked there so long she's almost like a housekeeper. She knows all of us) to keep her accompanied. In the end, me, one of my aunt and Melissa went to stay at her house. I went home earlier with Melissa to keep me accompanied to pack, then later my aunt came to pick me up to my cousin's house. We watched 'stardust' that night along with her house keeper and her indoor dog. I don't really know what breed the dog is but he's beautiful!!

after watching the movie, all of s retired to my cousin's room which is super big, about 4 times the size of my own bedroom, twice the size of my Aussie room. Usually, the dog sleeps in the same room as her acting like a guard dog but since we were there,they wanted the dog to sleep outside but in the end, we allowed the dog in. It was my first time sleeping in the same room with a dog!

If I had to grade that night, I would say it rates about 90% since I was too busy to think about anything.

Day 4
We were suppose to wake up at 9, but when the alarm clock rang, no one did - except me. I woke up, switched off the alarm that was located at the other end of the room where my cousin sleeps (imagine how loud the clock it and I really wonder how did they sleep through the racket!) anyway, since no one was awake yet except for the maids and the dog, i went back to bed and woke up at 10.30. went down for breakfast - Waffles! Yummy! and they we went for a swim!

I sux when it comes to water. Seriously! I can't swim, I can't even float without the help of the styrofoam board. it was really sad. haha.. it was like that until they found the styrofoam board and I finally managed to float! haha... we played monkey in the pool, and I was the monkey once and since I can't swim, it was practically walking in the pool. in the end they pitied me and changed the monkey so that i have the chance to play too :D b y the time we were done, I was really tan (my tan is fading though - no matter how tan I get, i will slowly become fair again). My cousins' tan were really obvious. She showed us and I can't stop laughing. imagine this, her 1 piece swimsuit has 2 openings at the back. when she's done swimming, her whole back is normal except for the 2 openings which had really turned into chocolate milk color. It was really dark!!!

had fried beehoon for lunch, then we watch 'spiderwick chronicles'. by the time we were done, it was raining heavily and we can't go back so we stayed there a little longer. we all fell asleep and finally left a about 5.30.

they came to my house, Melissa helped me with sprinking glitter on my posters and then we were for dinner after dropping her home. We wanted to eat 'lok lok' but somehow we can't find the fella so we were to centrepoint for Bak Kut Teh instead. My aunt bought some DVDs before we went for dinner. she dropped me home and the sudden silence in the house made me realized that I was alone again. And I became emo-fied. You all know what happens when I became emo-fied. Go figure!

I watched TV for a while and messaged SS to cheer myself up. Came across this interesting programme on National Geographic called 'human footsteps' I think. It has statistics of some really weird stuff. do you know that on average, we shit 3 tonnes of shit in our lifetime? and we vomit 5 bucketfulls of vomit in ourlife time? We take about 7000+ baths and eat 10000+ carrots and 3000+ of apples in our lifetime. How cool is that?! haha.... it's scary though, seeing some of the numbers. they have really weird things on it and it's interesting.

called SS and chat with her while watching 'Human Footsteps'. then i watched 'Nanny's diaries' and 'Meet the Robinson'. That's how bored I was. Oh yeah, I was also waiting for the washing machine to finish my laundry so I can dry them indoors and they would be ready tomorrow afternoon before I go to class. But somehow, smart little me thought that the the laundry was done when in reality it wasn't. I switched it off THEN realized that it's still washing. Since I couldn't open the cover to unload it OR continue from where I stopped, I started again! in the end I hang my clothes indoors at 11 something. Kinda sad huh?

Anyway... I am having a headache and I wanna go to bed. So, will update day 5 soon! Bye!

Day 2

Today I went out with my bunch of friends to Sunway Pyramid. At first, I was kinda afraid to drive there, but in the end I did with directions from another friend. Went and watched Madagascar 2 and it was really nice and really funny. Those who are planning to go and watch, GO!! it's really good!

We spent some time in the arcade and I was totally fascinated by the way one of my friend's dance. It was like WOW!! He's really good, especially on this machine called the 'para para' machine. Had Nasi Lemak for lunch. The sauce that came along with the Chicken Rendang was so watery that it's like EWWW, but it taste kinda nice anyway, so it doesn't matter. I also had waffles with chocolate and peanut butter. It taste kinda nice. I always liked the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Don't ask me why, cause i myself also don't know why i like it.

We planned to go ice-skating, bowling and pool but in the end we didn't do all 3. the pool place environment was horrible. it was dark, smoky and foul smelling like what most pool/snooker centers are so in the end we bailed out from the plan. The rest wanted to play bowling and i didn't join in cause i was feeling kinda moody and emo-fied at that very moment. In the end they didn't play anyway cos the lady told them that the lanes are full although it looks really empty. Maybe they are having some sort of competition later or something like that. the plan for ice-skating was not favored by everyone so that's automatically out. In the end, we played archery!

it's super cool! I am definately going back there to play. Of course, most of my aim went off and I was NOT hitting the bulleyes most of the time but I had fun anyway. By the time we were done, I was almost back to old self again. No more moody and emo Li Wen anymore. I am soooo gonna play archery again. Love it. It acts like a stress reliever for most of us i guess. Haha, we were jokingly saying that we should imagine our target are our lecturers. I said, i was going to imagine it as my CTS paper and that was the only time i got the closest to the center of the bulleyes.

In sunway pyramid, there's this piano guy that comes and play the piano. So, a few of them decided to have a free sing in front of everyone. It was really amusing. They were all trying to find songs that all of them knew and they really sang some songs from Mamamia to other songs that I can't remember the name. They even had a song dedication from a guy to his girlfriend. It was so entertaining. I got some videos of them and one day I am going to post them up on Facebook! but for now, i can't cos my lappie doesn't want to read my memory card. either my memory card have a problem or it's just my laptop.

Had dinner in a Vietnam restaurant and we wanted to go for deserts but we can't find any. I was stoning again by then cos i had a headache. I didn't take dinner so I was sort of closing my eyes for a few seconds to give them a rest. since we can't find any deserts, we just went home. Only Mae and I was in the car and the both of us doesn't know the way back! somehow, the directions that my friend gave me could not put into use. She said something about a roundabout and we didn't even come across one throughout the whole journey. Maybe we came out at a different exit. But in the end, we managed to reach home safely without getting lost. We managed to do that by following signboards and a little of Mae's memory and direction.

Overall, if I had to grade today, I would say it's about 80%? I deducted 20% cos i was stoning at some point.

I really had fun today. Thanks guys!!

Day 1

To me, today was a really long day. I have this feeling that says "Finally, it's night! 1 day down and 7 days to go!" Seriously. It was a very long day without anything to keep myself occupied except small chores that I actually had to drag out. Today, I created a new record. Eating 8 pieces nuggets for dinner in 1 hour. Heck, usually it would take me 10 minutes? But somehow, today's time seem to pass really really slow that I wanted to drag out simple stuff so it actually felt like i was doing something. Kinda sad rite?

Anyway, for someone who doesn't like to mix in a big crowd much, I realized that somehow solitude doesn't do for me as well. Today, the house felt so quiet, so WEIRD. I guess a sudden chance in noise volume in the house is taking a toll on me. After all, on usual days the TV would be blaring as if we were deaf, my brother's merciless teasing and both my mom and my voice's shouting over levels of the house. Imagine this, she's in the kitchen, I am in my room and we can have a conversation. That's how noisy it is. But now, it's so quiet, so silent, so WEIRD!!

So, this is how i spend my day. Came back from HELP at about 2. Played some computer games then went tuition at 3.30 pm. Class ended at 4.30, with Melissa's help, I starting doing my bookmarks for Critical Thinking Assessment. Somehow, it doesn't turn out as nice as the one in the book. Oh well... just have to see what the design team that only consist of A design director says. Maybe she can do something to salvage my pitiful handiwork. Melissa went home at 6, took out my food from the freezer to defrost and went back doing my bookmarks. Came down at 7, cooked my 8 pieces of nuggets, channel surf until 9 and watched Amazing Race Asia. Watched TV until 10.30, and came online. So yeah, that's how I spend my pathetic day.

Today is soooooo boring! should have spent some time with Pei Ling in the HELP library (she goes to the HELP library although she's no longer a student there) but I was too lazy to take the bus there. Sides, i left my student ID at home and now without it, you can't take the bus there. Apparently, there's too many people who are not from HELP taking free rides.

Oh God! today's day was so boring, I can't help but wish that a week had passed so that the house could be noisy again. It's almost as if the situation here is almost similar with what had happened in KL except I am all alone at home here. The days are long, the nights are long and it really felt like the week is not going to end!! I have no chinese series to watch (unless I watch it online but it's no fun doing that), no game to play (finish playing tradewinds caravans in 2 days) and loads of presentation slides to do but I can't find the mood to finish it.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. After all, I am going out with my friends to Sunway Pyramid tomorrow. And I might be driving there. Oh no! I most probably get lost on the way there.Sigh... but at least I am spending some time with my friends instead of staying at home doing nothing. Then, Saturday, I will be going to Amber (she's one of my foundation friend, very reliable when doing assignment which is terrific!) house to finish off our 4 posters and 2 flyers just in time for tuesday's presentation.

As for Sunday, I don't know what am I going to do yet. either spending time with my aunt (if she takes pity on me being all alone at home) or spending time all alone at home again. Monday I am soooo gonna sleep in and catch on my sleep since class starts on 3.30, then maybe go for dinner with Siew See? Tuesday I might most probably do a little cooking thing with Isabel and Melissa, don't know who else can make it for now (haven't ask anyone yet except the both of them :) ) As for Wed, I suppose I would be staying at home again and thurs, another day at home? then Fri the house would be noisy again!!

Yeah, yeah, some of you might be wondering why I didn't go along with them, but then, if you guys remember I am suppose to be in Australia?? who would have thought that I would come back? That's why the initial plan, i wasn't included :( then when I came back, it turned out that this/next week is presentation week so unless I want to fail my subject, i can't go with them. Oh well... now that they are planning to go to Macau next sept and I don't know if i could go or not. I hope I could Sept.... hmm, that's not the end of sem yet rite? haha....

I suppose if I have to rate today's day, I suppose I would give it 50%? And I am being generous.

I am in LOVE~~

I am in LOVE!! NO, the question to ask is not who but what. Seriously....

As some of you would know, I have what my cousin would call a 'God Complex'. I love playing games that give me total power and total control over the characters. So, it's really quite understandable that my favourite game ever are games likes Sim, Sim 2, Spores and now, EA games is coming out with a whole new series of Sim 3!!!! haha.... I love u EA Games.

I really can't wait for the game to be released, but then thinking again, I would most probably need to save money for a new computer since my old one is kinda crappy. I wonder if my dad would sponsor me a new computer just for a game.... Hmm.........

I can't wait for it to be released!!

Yes, like i was saying, EA Games emailed me their monthly newsletter to me when I saw that they are going to release Sims 3. I was like, OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! Sims 2 is already high tech enough and they are going to release Sims 3? I can't wait!

here are some features that is in Sims 3

- I get to customize everything and i mean everything. yes, including furnitures.
- I get to create their story before playing the game, so i can create a whole background that would affect how the character behaves.
- I get to set certain characteristic to my character. eg, friendly, sporty, eccentric
- Now they have wishes instead of wants. this means if i don't do whatever they want me to do, they don't go all crazy on me :D nice feature!
- they even have a whole lot of new buildings and houses.
- and they even have beaches and farm houses. I wonder if i can get someone to stay in a farm house. hey! maybe i can create a dark hunter community! Cool!

Oh yeah, this game has to be real cool when it comes out. I can't wait! well, I have a 'god complex' and i dare to admit it! :D
