Exhilaration

Lalalalalala.....

Dumdeedeedum...

It's been 20 days since i've been in JB, and these few days have been the most exciting climax of my entire 21 days of holidays.

Why? why?? why???

1st Dec - I FINALLY met my friends!!!

I managed to gather all my frens from all over Malaysia n Singapore who were back in JB to meet up before i leave. They were Ming Eng, Rojak, CK, Hweeli, Sin Yee, Michelle, Chia Sin and Jinli plus a junior, Christine! Alas, blur blur Banana Sabrina didn't get the message. Hence, she did not turn up! Ish..ish.. "SAB!!! If you're ever read this, you still owe me my 2006 present! And now you owe me a meal!!! When can i see you again??!!" *sobs*

Gosh.. i can't help wondering why every time we meet up, we'll be the craziest and noisiest bunch of gals around. If you've been dining in Kim Gary's on 1 Dec 2007 2-4pm, i apologize on my frens' behalf for the din we've created. It was on purpose. hahaha.. I'm sorry your meal was spoiled by a group of conspicuous gals who were making so much noise and distraction by snapping cameras away every 5 mins. hehe.. That's us, the Convent gals of 5 Sc 1, 2003. =)


We couldn't stop chatting and interrogating everyone for news. And poor CK, kept having butter fingers with the glasses. First the Cham Peng, then the Milo. Wat's wrong sis? Furthermore, she got embarrassed rite in front of the waiter. All thanks to Rojak the Joker. Ming eng kept pushing CK's dessert that CK was still eating for the waiter to clear and then out of nowhere, Rojak said to the waiter, "Please clear this *points toward CK* away too." We all stopped to look at CK, suddenly the waiter replied "I'm sorry, we don't have a plastic bag big enough." LOL! Poor CK... She was shot many times by Rojak and M.E that day. I guess it wasn't your day huh? hehe.. =)


The Cutest n Funniest Rojak!


Jinli, me, CK

Sin Yee, Rojak, Chia Sin, Michelle, Christine

me, CK, Ming Eng, Hweeli


3rd Dec - i went in to Singapore!!!!

Finally after 5 mths, I get to go meet my frens, shopping and eye washing in my fave City! (yes, i'm pro-Sg =P) hahaha...

It was a long story actually. I went to JB immigration at 11am, reached Sg Customs at 12pm, left the customs at 1pm!!! The bloody amount of ppl dying to enter Sg is seriously that much, but only 3 pitiful counters were opened. Sighs.. I guess it was lunch time, and i miscalculated the time. I was late, yet I was ordered by mum to do an errand for her - buy 2 big packs of Dried Mushrooms. Apparently the mushrooms in Sg is nicer and cheaper. -.-" So instead of going straight to NUS to meet Norven and Ming Eng, i had to make a detour at Woodlands, to get those mushrooms. Adui..

I walked so fast, run so much, even got blisters on my leg (cos i washed my only pair of socks the night before. stupid)... But i still ended up being the last one to reach the place. Ming Eng was already waiting at the bus stop. I tried following Norven's directions to the bus stop across the Central Library, but somehow i got down a stop too early. So had to walk towards the correct one with the big red plastic bag of mushrooms - with many NUS students walking around noticing the obvious big bag. I felt like a kampung girl who just arrived in a city! Soooo embarrassing!!! Wanted to walk faster towards the bus stop, but couldn't cos my feet were hurting. Then when i finally saw the Central Library, i was so happy, till i turn to look at the bus stop across it.. There were tonnes of ppl waiting for a bus! And i think all were looking at me with tht mushrooms!!! Ahhhh!!!! Wanted to wear a paper bag over my head le. lol...

Walked further up, then i saw Ming Eng!! So happy.. hurried over.. but Ming Eng was already pissed off le... Sorry ya.. I know i'm always late for appointments, my bad. Norven even told me tht Ming Eng wanted to go off to the MRT station rite there n then! Horror!! Thoughts of me carrying the packs of mushrooms across Sg is totally unthinkable! Luckily, the forever kind ming eng relented and agreed to go back to Norven's hostel. hehehe... Love you babes!!!

We ate in NUS's canteen, the canteen there were so so much better than USM's. Don't even mention the hostels and shuttle service k. Omg.. Really regretted i didn't make it into a Sg uni la.. I wonder how my life would've turned out if were studying there.

Day 1
1st stop: Bugis Street
Went shopping in the famous Bugis Street. It was kinda like a super packed market with lots of 'cheap stuff'. (if you keep bluffing yourself tht RM1 = S$1) It was actually considered ok la, lots of clothes on sale were not to be tested.. so din manage to buy anything there.

2nd stop: Bugis Junction
A shopping mall with lots of branded clothes and lots of nice stuffs actually. But then again, the conversion of currency always make me think twice about buying anything! haha.. But i was happy when i managed to persuade Ming Eng to buy a super big Tigger!! It's soooo cute!!! haha.. Too bad no pics to show here. We were dying for Carls Jr Burgers tht nite. But sadly Bugis Junction didn't have one, and the nearest one was at Shaw Towers and Suntec, which was far for our tired legs to walk. So we ended up having MOS Burger.

Norven, me, Ming Eng

The S$7.10 (RM16.33) MOS Burger set


Tsukune Rice Burger


us going camera crazy =P


3rd stop: NUS - Prince George's Park
The first time i stepped into her room.. Wah.. so nice.. Wasn't tht small, just nice for one person. But the security there i tell u... tighter and more high-tech than our PM's office! hahaha... ME n I got hungry in the middle of the nite, so Norven took us to look for a vending machine, cos her room does not even have a pack of maggi mee nor Milo, only oatmeal! Norven.. really respect u! Well, Nor was very tired tht nite, so when she slept, ME n I were still very awake, and didn't feel like sleeping. We went to get water, but ended up exploring the hostel ourselves instead. hehehe.. As we wandered around, we found ourselves heading to the playground, we sat on the swing like kids again, n broke the rule by making lots of noise. haha.. We chatted till 6.30am staring at sky for shooting stars! lol.. And we saw one indeed! It was amazing.. We should do tht again in NTU k ME? hehe.. =) Oh, at one point, we wanted to know wat time it was, but we couldn't find a single clock anywhere! We searched the meeting rooms, TV rooms, security alarm switch board, parking booth, public phone, EVERYWHERE.. only to finally find one tiny clock on a electronic door lock security system. haha.. we were tht desperate. Furthermore, on our way back to the room, we almost spoiled the high tech door and got ourselves locked out. The door was too high tech for us both. hahaha..

Day 2
I was so sleepy, i din even realise when ME left to go NTU d. Think Norven tried waking me up many times, but i fell rite back to sleep. (don't u laugh!) hehe.. At last, i woke up when Norven told me it was afternoon d! haha.. Sorry norven.. your bed was too comfy! hee.. =P We started the day with Norven showing me the NUS grounds...

somewhere in NUS with strong winds



2nd stop: Marina Square
I finally bought a Giordano shirt there and Norven bought her Harry Potter book!! Was suppose to meet up with Siew Hoon later at Vivo, but we decided Marina had more things to eat, so we asked Yu Hooi to come over. It was really a pity, Siew Hoon couldn't make it.. So it was just the three of us. It was like the good ol' days again.. just the 3 of us. I was definitely a fruitful day... Oh, when we were there, there was a Barney show! It reminded me of someone. hee.. =P



Mr Snowman!! =D


And so my trip to Sg ended. Went back to the hostel, grab my mushrooms, and went back to JB alone.. sighs.. Time flies so fast when you're having fun... I'm missing you guys again!!!! I really hope to meet u guys during Lunar New Year!

6th Dec - Home and bored
Had many plans to do the past days.. but the stupid weather had to ruined it all. It rained for 2 whole days!!! Marge n I couldn't go swimming, and we couldn't shop ard in JB as we had planned! But no worries, we'll be going into Sg again tmr!!! Yippee!!!! More money spending, and leg aches. haha.. =) And thanks to Ming Eng, i had a fun evening today accompanying her to the salon.

Well, tmr will be my last day in JB!!!!!! Omg.. I'm sooo depressed.. Why does it have to end so fast??? I still hate USM for cheating me of my holidays. They keep stealing my hols!!! I don't like USM! Sighs..

I'll miss all of you badly!!! Take care guys.. To all those whom i didn't get a chance to meet, I hope to meet you guys soon!!!!

On a brighter note, I'll be seeing Vince!! heehee.. Can't wait to see you sayang! Just bear for another day ya? *winks* =)

Superfluousness

I am


superfluous
[i do nothing at home]


an obstruction
[i just sit on the couch all day with me lappy]


and a HUGE distraction
[i sit in the middle of the living room, with the streamyx wire attached to my lappy placed on the coffee table in front of me, blocking everyone's way to the sofa]


in my own home.


-.-"



I'm supposed to be supporting my sister through her STPM, but from what it looks like rite now, I'm giving her more headache than assistance. I can't even compare to her friend who helps her by phone!

Sighs.. I'm such a failure. Seriously.

Maybe i shouldn't have returned. At least not at this crucial time.

If her grades drop.. I can't even imagine the hatred my sis would harbour towards me for the rest of her life. Omg...

Sorry Marge!!!!



Yeps. That's about it. Just to update you guys a bit about myself and the situation i'm in currently. Wonderful isn't it? Sighs...

Revelation








I'm in LOVE!








who?
Vincent Ooi







why?






how?

For the benefit of all my loyal readers... I shall relate the whole story (or at least the very interesting part)...


He was a new student. He transfered from University Utara M'sia at the start of Semester 2. Although we were in the same class for 4 months, we had barely knew each other till the last few days of uni.

Reasons: He didn't come on the 1st day, he always sits at the back of class while i sit nowhere at the back, i don't turn around looking for the 3rd chinese guy, he's in a different tutorial, he doesn't attend the boring computer lecture. (Hmm...thinkin back, my class had only 59 ppl, how on earth could we not have spoken to each other?? haha..)

Even though i never set eyes on him, we both already "knew" each other. He was known as "Vincent" - the new guy who got called out by my fave and most-feared lecturer on the 1st day but was absent. And I'm "Joyce" - the smart stuck-up gal. *swts*
That was our faceless identity throughout the semester.

One fine day...on 28 Mar '07, some chinese girl coursemates decided we should go out for steamboat. And to Golden BBQ it was. 12 ppl, 4 cars. One of them of cos, driven by him, the Penang guy with the biggest car. If you're thinking wat i think you're thinking.. Nope, I sat in a different car. Eventually, we met. He was sitting on one table, me the other. Can't rmb if i even said 'Hi!'. There he was, sitting next to the gal he was teased to 'like'. Couldn't cared less, i just ate and made small talk with the people on my table (people i was closer to - i'm an introvert listener =P) while avoiding squirting oil from the BBQ. Eating soon led to camera snapping. Being one of the 4 guys surrounded by 8 gals, it was inevitable that i took a group shot with him. This was the first day...

More gatherings occurred towards the end of the sem. Frens' b'day celebrations, etc... Of cos, being the unofficial "Chauffeur" a.k.a. Boss, he was never out of the picture.

3 April, we chatted for the first time. It was that incident where someone said Convent gals have a funny 'accent' (see Proud To Be). I guess that's when i started to notice, he seems like an interesting nice guy! =P

Sem 2 ended... It was time for a long holiday. He as usual, offered to send all of us gals to our desired destination - either to the apartment, the jetty or the bus stop. Like always, I was the last one to go home. Hence, I was the last one he would send off. He said every gal he gave a lift to, told him to buck up, and chase that gal he 'supposedly liked' within the next 2 months holiday. I laughed and told him likewise. I figured, what a nice a couple they would make...

Back in my favourite JB, i spent all my days on the comp surfing the net, chatting on MSN (like i've never used it before), met up with frens, took a part-time job and somehow got closer to him.

First, it was 3 messages a day. Then it became 10. Soon, it was flooding my inbox! Everytime a message arrived, a silly smile creeps up my face. Wat was a simple action, turned into a terrible addiction. MSN played a vital part too. Late nite and early morning chats took place almost every nite/day. Deep dark secrets were slowly shared bit-by-bit across the World Wide Web...

Luck hasn't always been on my side. I think it's because Fate was there.

As a result, left JB for Penang earlier than the rest on 18 June i did. Felt so miserable that my holidays were shortened all just for picking up exchange students (which btw, i only managed to pick-up 5). At the same time however, something deep down inside felt kinda happy. Was in fact comforted to know, i won't be alone on that small island in that stupid Uni...

Got arranged to stay in a hostel building all to myself. With no one for company, he became my companion. Signs were showing, yet who would have known? (see Arrival)

Semester 3 started. Everything was normal again... except it wasn't really the way it used to be. Studies were overloaded, responsibilities were pilling up. Walking around campus as i used to, didn't seem to be a wise feasible option anymore. Lousy USM bus service and the many hills made me turn to him for help...

Before long, other people began noticing. Frens would curiously ask if anything was going on. Denial was the best way to escape their constant questioning. In the back of my mind, scrambled thoughts needed straightening. But how?? This is too complicated...

Middle of the night, 14 June... a message before we end our day turned into 'the question' of the day. I was shocked. I was confused. I was petrified!

Just the day before, mum called up and asked about 'the guy' who picked me up. Reminded me with a nag, "studies comes first, relationships can wait". In my head i was silently screaming, "O-M-G... Mum, how did u know that there was something??!!".

I couldn't decide. I had to think. And so, i took forever to reply him.

Aug 25, the pivotal minute. Distance it seems, became the catalyst. One in Ipoh, the other Penang. Both connected through the MSN. He seemed restless and needed some confirmation. I thought and pondered, maybe it was a time for reaction.

I said YES. Why shouldn't we? It was after all, a rare opportunity...

He felt weird. This wasn't the way it should be. Oh, who cares? As long as we're happy.


This is the story of how we became we.


No matter how badly you want it kept, happiness should be shared. It began with my sis and now it's this. I can't say no, the whole world would know! I beg you all please, don't tell my mum this. I want to do it, once I deem fit. When the time comes for me to announce, I really hope she'll understand for once.

Where Do I Start?

Hmmm... I wanna blog about past happenings, but i do not know where to begin!
Damn it. Shouldn't have left the blog dead for so long.

Ah... Since the sem has ended and all the exchange students are gone, it's time i reveal the identity of Chad. His identity was kept a secret because i din want mishaps to happen between him and a certain someone who's jealous of him.
hahaha... So here ladies, is the Chad look-alike:


love at first sight. oops!


after a walk in the rain



they look alike, no?


Okay, maybe there's just that slight resemblance. But what to do, he was the only one worth taking a second glance that day. Shall not say further. hee... =D

Now, wat else happened in the past 3 months??

Hmm... I think most of u know about it le.
Think i gotta rearrange my thoughts first, before i blog about it.
So for those who are not sure what i'm talking about, stay tuned to find out! =P



Spoiler: Something interesting happened! hehe...



ps: Don't be jealous k? =P

It's Gone!!!

I finally cut my hair today!!!!

After 5 months of agonizing waiting.. I finally came back to JB to cut my hair. Hahaha..

Ok, so you're thinking: Why am i such an idiot to wait for so long to cut? Why didn't i just cut in Penang?? Rite?

Hmmm.. I oso dunno why. But i think the main reason is because, cutting in JB costs me only RM 9!!! hahahaha...

Ya ya.. I'm a bloody cheapskate! So wat? =P

Anyways, i don't think cutting a RM9 or RM50 hair makes much difference. As long as the hairdresser is experienced. Wat i want, i get. Plus, my hair doesn't really listens to anybody. It's more of a rebel that follows nature. It curls and sticks out at all the wrong places! So wat's the point in spending more money? haha...

Here is my new hair...

Super Delayed Updates - Part 2

Thousand apologies dear readers...
I've been abducted by some work obsessed aliens to planet WORKandRESPONSIBILITIES. I finally made my escape and found some time during the the great escapade to misuse the International Office's computer to bring u updates!!! Yays!!! =P

And so, the story continues..

After i left u guys at the cliff-hanger in the last post, life hasn't been much interesting. In fact it just went downhill... I was so looking fwd to a happy ending like how sj described, albeit without the Carebears. Maybe some cute elves like Legolas would have been perfect!!! =P Sadly, Fate doesn't like it that way. She thinks I would be so much better off without him. Chad and I never met each other again after that one day where i brought him around to buy envelopes to post letters back home. (Aww.. isn't he such a traditional romantic! And let's just ignore the fact that he could be posting love notes to his sweetheart in Finalnd. hahaha =D) Hence, he's now somewhere busy going to classes i don't attend and partying every weekend, while i'm busy elsewhere with 23 hours of class each week and responsibilities in 3 different clubs every other free time. Sighs... Why?? Why must this happen to me?! (I know someone somewhere is delighting at this news. Cis..)

Well, after that heart-breaking moment, I've decided to immerse myself in WORK to forget the pain. I was so diligent that ppl began noticing and hence decided i should have more work to do! Yay!! -.-" I became active (without a choice) in my Translation Cub as secretary, my Buddies Organization decided no one was more eligible to be their scapegoat thus voted me to be their head and lately by some unfortunate twist of events, i got elected as the vice president of my Humanities School Club! Wat de?! I've no idea wat those ppl were thinking when they saw me came in very late for the meeting (which i have no clue it was an election till i sat down like an idiot. if i knew, i would have avoided it with all my life!) but still wanted me for vice! And apparently, i'm the only 2nd year student among the committees, so the future of the club after the seniors leave is "automatically" in my hands! Nooooo... I don't want!!! People, when will u all realise, I'm NOT leader material??!! Anything i'm in charge of will fail terribly.. Seriously... Signs of it coming true, is already pretty obvious in the Buddies Organization. Sighs...

I have a very bad feeling, that this sem's not going to be a good one for me. I'm doing all my assignments at the very LASSSSST minute. Sometimes even after past the due time i'm still doing it! How??? I'm so dead if this goes on. So many activities to juggle, i'm sure i'll be going bonkers soon. The assignments are coming in almost every week!! Next week's gonna be the worse by far - 3 mid-sem tests, 4 assignments, 1 event coming up... how to finish it all?? I'm so tired from all the work... *sobs* Thank God, i've someone to help me out with everything, to make sure i'm always "full and contented", to keep me sane and be my personal chauffeur around campus. =P Come to think of it, if this person wasn't around, i would definitely NOT survive the 1st month! The running around campus everytime of the day itself is gonna make me thin (yays!) and then eventually kill me (aiks!!). hahaha...

I'm missing my family and frens very very very much!!! I miss Marge the most. Margie!!! How's life? Call me whenever you're free k? *hugs n kisses* =) I'm so so sorry u guys for being MIA for so long... I haven't been able to go online long enough to chat, to blog, or to read anyone's blog. I'm so disconnected from my family n frens... this is a tragedy!!!!! PLUS, for this stupid sem, there's NO MID-SEM BREAK!!!!! Wat da hell is USM thinking? I can't go home, i can't have a teeny weeny little break, i can't do anything else but study n study! I HATE USM!!!!! I seriously can't stand the bias-ness of USM anymore! They purposely cancel the mid-sem break so that the malays can have longer Hari Raya hols! Bloody idiots!! But for the chinese, there's no such holidays?? So what if u give us a longer study week? How to study when it's Hari Raya la?! Ish.. And how am i to go back if all you malays are going to buy up all the bus tickets for me to get back to Pg?? I can only go home, but can't come back. Wat's the use?? Sheesh... I'm stuck on this island till end of Nov! Omg... *sings Corrinne May's SAVE ME*

Ah well, luckily on 9-11 Aug, i got to go to KL for some Innovation Forum hosted by USM. It was fun cos i get to stay in Vistana Hotel! haha.. i know it's not 5 stars or wat, but it's just the relaxing feeling of staying in a hotel that's destressing... =P And i get to attend this bloody big time boring forum about "sustainability in innovation". Even the title sounds "exiciting" no? All i had to do there was sit (with my eyes wide open no matter how boring the speaker was) in the freezing cold KLCC conference room, wearing formal clothes for 2 days, 9am-6pm daily. Wee~ -.-" The only thing that kept me looking forward to the forum was the food! We had 2 very delicious coffee breaks and 1 sumptious lunch each day! It was the only thought that kept me going. lol! =P Too bad the trip wasn't long enough. I couldn't meet up with anyone in KL although i desperately wanted to... Sorry ppl. =(


Ok peeps! That's all for now. I've to rush back to do finish up my last-minutes assignments!!! Stress...

Once again.... I MISS U GUYS SO MUCH!!!!

I hope this long post will keep u readers satisfied for the time being. I've a feeling i won't be seeing my blog anytime soon. =(

Tata!



*ps: HAPPY BELATED 21st to dear Norven in NUS!!!

Delayed Updates - Part 1

A thousand apologies for being MIA the past 1 month? It's been so long, i've lost count of the days that've gone by. Sighs.. Time's flying too fast!

Well, for the times that i've not been blogging, i've been tied up with tonnes of things.. I'm amazed with the crazy amount of things that's happened, i managed to get thru it alive. hehe.. =)

On the last week of the hols, we had Orientation and the Round Island Tour for all the Exchange Students. It was tiring but definitely entertaining. As usual, the ice doesn't break till after the ice-breaking session. In fact, the ice-breaking was -10 degrees freezing cold. Interaction among the students and buddies were pretty dead. Things however, improved slightly over the days.. For 1 simple reason.... there was an eye candy for me to indulge on!! hahaha.. =P This Finnish guy who shall be known as "Chad" (name changed to protect his identity. lol.. ) looked exactly like Chad Michael Murray!!!! So.. every now and then, when we are bored, (did i tell u the Buddies only had gals during orientation? But anyways, the 'we' here refers to only me n joe. hahaha), will scan the room for Chad... and stare.... aahhh... wat a relief for sore tired eyes. =P This went on for the first 2 days, and then he began to "feel" the attention he was getting, so we had to "control". hahaha... Like that's gonna be easy. =D
.
Then came the Round Island trip. It was sucky. It rained the moment we arrived at our first destination - Penang Hill. -.-" Can u imagine queueing, squeezing into the tram/cable car/watever u called tht transport just to reach the peak n look at a brilliant rainy view of Penang. Ooh.. interesting! Yay! Sigh.. Wonder wat i'd felt if i were the students. Then we headed to Little India, n tht's where i learnt that me hands are huge. Like REALLY HUGE. (i mean among gals) My hands couldn't fit into those Indian bangles!! Actually broke one of the glass bangles in one of the unlucky shop. Luckily the lady boss was nice.. and i'd only broken one. hehehe... Later, we finally arrived at Batu Ferringhi. The famous Pg beach. Bcos it rained in the morning, by the time we were at the beach, the weather was perfect. Too bad, i din get to play in the sea. Cos there was really nothing to do there when u r broke. The jet-skis were freakin RM50 for 2 ppl n for only 20mins! Like.. wat de?! (i'm poor k, so i feel the pinch!) Sighs.. It all ended well anyways. Made lotsa new acquaintances.. which is all that matters! haha..
.
Then school began. Registering for courses was one hell of a feat. With the walking, waiting, running, queuing, talking, n cracking of the head, those 2 days of registering for just that 7 courses was mentally, emotionally, n physically exhausting. Worser still, i have to repeat all of that thrice to help 7 more exchange students register courses! All bcos they had the privilege to come later than the rest. All the walking around in this super sunny island ended up with me turning charcoal black tanned. Sighs... Now i have 3 diffrerent tones on just my arms!!! (Let's not even talk about my entire body) Eeee... disgusting!
.
To be continued...
.
.
Wat's gonna happen to sleepy? Will she die of skin cancer? OR will she end up happily ever after with Chad???
Stay tuned to find out! =P

Down with the floo

People around here can hear me sniffing as I walk along the hallway. Yes, the annual flu bug has struck yet again. So now it's out with pale-looking face, in with pale-looking face with a glowing red nose. Glam, babeh, way glam!

Anyways, I find blogs with music that can't be turned off VERY annoying. Anyone feel the same? Just a thought.

Back to One Tree Hill. Original DVDs, babeh!

Transformers!!!



TRANSFORMERS ROCKS!!!


Went to the watch the premiere today.
It was really really AWESOME! I think even awesome is an understatement.
This is definitely the movie of the year. If you thought Spidey3, Pirates3, Shrek3 or even Fantastic2 was great, u haven't seen anything yet.

Ok, I rmb vaguely watching the cartoon when i was so young i can't even rmb when. lol.. The point is.. the movie brought back many fond memories of watching the cartoon with me bro. Damn nice... =D

Anyway, LOVED all the Autobots especially the Bumblebee character. He's that metal scrap turned posh Camaro and his choice of radio songs to express himself when he couldn't talk... CUTE!!!! =P I actually kinda like tht Frenzy character too. He's tht boombox turned chaotic spy. He's evil yet kinda stupid in a funny way. haha...

If anyone of you is/was not a Transformers fan last time.. you WILL BE. hahaha... The movie, although with a little bit of difference from the original cartoon, is seriously fantastic! And who cares really whether Bumblebee was a Volkswagen in the original or Optimus Prime was a little rusted originally (someone told me.. is this true??). Every movie is a new art creation. You can't expect any 2 art to be exactly the same!

Story was amazing - Good vs evil. Good triumphs over evil!
Cast was superb - Sleek machines, cute actors, sexy babes... wat else u need?
Songs were rocking - A lil' oldies here, a lil' latest hits there.. perfect! (did i mention i'm getting old, and oldies are my kind of songs now? lol..)
Special effects were excellent - it's complicated robots with superhuman characteristics we're talking here!

In a nutshell, today's movie outing with Jun, Joeyin, Vince, Daniel, Varun, Jacelyn, (oh no... i'm forgetting the names.. think there's Cherina/Sherina, Kah Hong @ Pg's Superstar, and Wei/Hui Ling?) was a BLAST!!! (Plus the fact that this movie only costs me 5 bucks with my student card makes it all the more worth it! =P)


I have to watch it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
^.^





Ps: To those who haven't watched it... Transform and roll out! =P

And so life continues...

After my previous out-of-ordinary post, today's entry shall be a happy-er one.


Well, for starters, the Canadian FOUND his passport the night he "lost" it itself. But failed to mention it to me till I found out the next day at the International Office.. And not through him at all. Thanks for the heart attack dude. The funny thing was, he "misplaced" the passport in his own apartment, UNDER HIS BED/PILLOW all along! Adui… He wanted to keep it safe, but can't even remember where he keeps it! Interesting! Maybe he should draw a secret treasure map for himself - Zzz marks the spot. Lol…


Much progress have taken place since my last entry…


Friends have return to USM. I have neighbours now!!! Hehehe.. =D They all came back on Sunday night.. And since then, my stay in hell-hole has improved vastly.. I have company to talk to late at night, to walk to n from the IO under the HOT sun together, to go online at the mamak stall together… Oh, there's something I find interesting and I must share it with u guys. I dunno whether u guys already know about this.. But the mamak stalls in Malaysia, ESPECIALLY Penang are damn technologically modernised these days. They provide wireless hotspot man! Hahaha.. And they even key in all your orders into the computer, u noe like in those western restaurants.. Lol. Mamak stalls are no longer the dirty café where ppl gather to have teh tarik and roti canai. Nope. Times have certainly changed.


Oh, regarding the resource room. It's actually a room full of booklets on the foreign unis that the international office has alliance with. So, it's used by local n foreign students to help them with their exchange programme etc.. And since I'm part of the international office, I was put to the task of tidying and decorating tht messy room. In the beginning, I was working alone cos no one was back yet.. But now tht there's more manpower, we've got tht room decorated le. Hehehe.. Jus finished "recycling" some old coloured A4 paper that was stuck uglily on the walls before, and made it into a divider on the walls. Kinda ugly actually. Hehe.. Oh well, at least it's nicer than before. This is what happens when they wanted me to "decorate". For the record, I have no creativity cells in me brain.


After being here for 10 days… I've met

2 Canadians (friendly but a lil' blur I'd say),

3 Japanese (friendly + funny),

1 Austrian (pretty and whom I'm dying to practice speaking german with),

1 French (gal frm the caribbeans who's cute) and

countless mid-easterners (whom I can't recall their names.. But one thing's for sure, they all love to smoke "sisha" in the mamak restaurant - tht flavoured water smoking thingy)



So overall, life in Penang is not that bad afterall…for now. ^.^


Hope it gets better! =P

Yup. I've survived the 4th day since me arrival on Penangites' isla paraíso.


Penang's slowly turning out to be what I expected it should be…


The weather is back to normal, and by "normal" I mean u can still see the sun shinning damn bloody hot & brightly at 7pm…


And everyone... yes, everyone detests returning to Penang. [This does not apply to Penang Island natives.] How else can u explain why no one wants to return to Penang to help me? Why on earth are they staying in their bloody comfortable house with lotsa ppl under one roof just 13.5km from Penang island across the Penang Bridge, while I'm stuck here in Restu all alone (still) on the entire floor??? Every night no matter 7pm or 11pm, when I walk back to my hostel, NONE of the windows are lighted. No matter from which side of the building I see. Can u even imagine???


This is a TRAGEDY!!!!!


Not I want to complain.. IO (or the ppl in charge of accomodation), wat on earth are u thinking putting us here in Restu with no one else in it? And @#$%^& USM, wat the bloody hell were u thinkin when u decided M02 was goin to be a female hostel? It's situated rite at the bloody end and bottom of the other side of the RST hill covered by ALL the other hostels includin males'. U think in the 21st century, gals have evolved to be braver and safer than males now is it???


Came back at 1am last nite (my mum better not know this), and the one and only, I've-got-the-whole-hill-covered-don’t-worry-look security guard won't allow my friend to send me in by car when we clearly told him it was RESTU??? (Oh gosh, love the name. Wat a blessing indeed) On the other hand, if my fren was a malay, he would definitely have been allowed unrestricted + unlimited entry. *&^%$#


F* them all la!


Ok, u probably have no idea wat I'm bitchin about, let me draw a pic..





So u see, no matter from which direction I walk from the entrance, I still have to make a damn big round the hill to reach my hostel!!! If there was a party at the end of the hill I would have gladly walk there everyday at any hour la… But the problem is, it's an empty deserted building at the moment. They won't even bother to switch on any lights around the building to save their electricity bills i reckon. (This ONLY happens to Restu M02 - and tht's like sooo gonna save them a whole lot of money) Shit!!!! Ish..


Remind me again wat am I doin here????


I need some enlightening here!! WHY am I SOOOOOOOOOO STOOOOOOOOPID??!!!


AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm bloody messed up rite now.


The Canadian I brought out to go shopping today, lost his passport. (Wat de??)


I've got to go back to IO tmr to clean the useless resource room - ALONE.


I've no one else in this building with me to share my anger. I'm sooooo angry rite now, I wanna sleep!


It's 4.08am and I'm still harping on this entry… I hate myself!


This is going on too long… when can classes start? I wanna QUIT!!!!


But I don't want! Ish…… Think for yourself Sleepy!!!!


I'm beginning to talk to myself now… Marge.. I need u!!!!!


I'm…………… I give up.

Arrival

Room 1-8A, Block M02, Restu Hostel, USM, Penang.

This is the address where I'm cooped up rite now.
Can someone please come rescue me? Hahaha… I suppose reality hasn’t quite sunk in. I still have not gotten used to the fact that I am here in Penang dy la… this feels so weird!

It's only been 1 month, 22 days since I left Penang, but everything seems a whole lot different somewhat. Besides the fact that Penang is now rainy and stormy 24/7, (Oh ok, only jus for today.) Penang seems.. tranquil upon my return. The circumstance that I'm the ONLY one on level 1 and pretty sure among the less than 10 occupants in this eerie building makes it even more obvious.

Well, thankfully I've got me lappy and DVDs with me. *happy dance* I would freak out and go bonkers if I stayed in this hole for another second without entertainment. There's practically no view outside my window.. All I see is an empty walkway rite in front of it and the neighbouring buildings with pitch black windows and the quiet ground below. Ooh.. What a sight. =S Hence, I've decided to draw the curtains tight. Cos looking out the window just makes it all the more lonelier plus scarier at night. Did I mention I have a very good imagination? =D

Had to pee jus a while ago. And gosh.. Wat an adventure… First, I had to open the door and take a looong look outside before stepping out, locking the door made so much noise and it seemed forever, moved flash-like while constantly listening for other sounds in the oh so silent toilet that u can hear your own breath, later with a very loud beating heart I have to open the damn security-tight door lock making so much racket yet again, and peeping into my room first to ensure there isn't anyone in there (even though the possibility is theoretically zero) and finally running in and double-locking the door. I swear I watch too many horror n criminal investigation shows. Thinking back, what did I think I was gonna do if there really was someone somewhere? Hmmm... I honestly don’t know.

Oh well, it's just another 16 days here alone. I can handle it… Right?

Hang in there gal.


Ps: Thanks Vince for the DVDs and everything! You’re a life-saver. =P

At the going down of the sun...

And at the rising of the moon, i shall leave my beloved JB.

Farewell.. people, bed, Mediacorp TV, JB food... Adios!

I hate this. This sucks... Why can't i go to uni in Spore or somewhere else nearer to JB? Why am i sent miles away to Penang. No offence to Penangites, but, i prefer living in JB anytime (even with the bloody increasing crime rate. ish..). Cos here's where i grew up for the past 20 years and here's where i'm most at ease and happy. Penang is just total opposites of JB.

  • For one, JB is at the South of Peninsular M'sia while Penang is a small island way up North.
  • JB is near Singapore which means it's very near civilisation while Pg is near Kedah which sad to say, is still a laid back state.
  • JB is very cooling, always (compared to Pg) even at it's hottest days, it'll at least still be damp. Pg on the other hand, is HOT all year round, and when it eventually rains.. the suns pops up immediately 15mins later with a vengeance. Can't the sun stay away from Pg?

I'm jus crapping here cos i DON'T WANT to pack my stuff. I'm procrastinating on purpose to avoid going anywhere near my luggage bag which is sitting there conspicuously. I've only folded 1 pathetic shirt so far and i'm lazy to continue foldin the next one. I wonder how fluttered i'll be later in the day. I can imagine myself rushing around like a mad woman.. yet, i won't budge to settle this packing business once and for all. I'm so living in denial. Someone help me!!!!

I hope me not sleeping tonite will help me sleep like a pig later in the bus. Cos i'm afraid i might decide to jump off the bus later if i miss home terribly. hehehe..

Okok. The bag's begging and shouting at me to fill it with stuff.. Here i go...


Tschüss!!


ps: I really din wanna blog about going back to Pg. =P

Indecision

It is confirmed.

I'm a damn bloody indecisive gal. I can't make decisions to save my life. Gosh.. why like that???


Went into Singapore last Thurs with MingEng, Lifen and Ruiwen, supposedly to conquer the Great Singapore Sale. Mana tau.. i ended up with just nothing more than $10 of goods. And only $4 of it is for myself. Adui... I had made plans. I had gathered all the sufficient info I needed. I even made a mental list of things to buy! All of it went down the big sewer.


First stop - Parco Bugis Junction. Had a delicious Ramen lunch at Ajisen. Wandered around for hours after the meal. Went into shops with HUGE signs of 50% discounts and above. Tested some clothes. Ruiwen n ME bought dozens of clothes n shoes (almost), while Lifen n i window shopped the entire time.


With nothing gained, hmm.. more like nothing spent in Parco, I journeyed on to Bugis Street. I've heard so much about Bugis St. from all my friends so i went there with hopes as high as Mt Everest. STILL... Nothing caught my eye!!! I searched every shop i could find for a bag for mum, yet i could find none suitable for her. Hmm.. Maybe my eyes were set too high.. Maybe I really fancy nothing I saw there that day.. Or jus maybe, I couldn't decide which I would really like to buy for my mum. Anyway, in our rush to meet up with Norven in Vivocity, we left the place early without exploring the other shops. Sigh.... Sorry bout tht Lifen n Ruiwen.


Ok, so Bugis was a big letdown for me. Vivocity was my next possible hope. Although I didn't pin much hope on Vivocity cos it's famous for being an expensive out-of-my-budget-range shopping mall, nevertheless, i went there with happy positive thoughts of buyin something really nice for myself. Went straight to Nichii the M'sian opened boutique where Nor works. We all simply took some clothes to try so we could surprise nor while she worked. hehehe... Tried on a black top. It was not bad.. but i was still hesitant to buy it. So we left Nichii after being reprimanded by Nor for not replying her msg. Met with YuHooi to have tea/dinner.


*Note: Secret Recipe @ Vivocity SUCKS big time. Drinks wasn't even served after we came back from the WC. They had forgotten or lost our order somewhere n had to retake our order 2 freakin times (after Lifen complained) to get it right. By tht time, the food we specifically ordered for was out! Sheesh.. N the bloody manager/chief waiter can still stand there ignoring us even though we were just inches away from him n grumbling like hell. Idiot. Our brownies came in the end.. It was ok. Our lemon tea tasted like sugar water. Ruiwen's lasagna looked like shit and tasted like.. Shit. Even so, she gobbled everything up cos she was famished. Poor thing.


After that not so satisfying meal, we continued our rampage thru vivo. But before we did that, we did wat every Singaporean is famous for.. QUEUE UP. We queued up for Vinco's Donuts. While we were sitting in Secret Recipe, we could see a crowd outside tht donut shop so we wondered wat was so amazing bout it. Pang (aka Ruiwen) wanted to treat us to donuts, and planned to buy 6 of it. We were queueing until we were 3rd in line.. when suddenly pang says, she don want to eat. In the end only yuhooi n lifen ordered 1 each. It was hilarious la, we lined up so long.. jus following the crowd but in the end we only bought 2 while the Sg'eans were buying in dozens! Anyhow, lifen regretted not buying more.. cos it was seriously DELICIOUS! Dunkin' Donuts can forget bout openin a shop in Sg forever.


We dashed from shop to shop. Searching for bargains n anything to buy at all. Lifen n i were already at the point of desperation. We needed to buy something just to fulfil our burning desire. I saw a lovely tube top at LVER. I really decided i was going to buy that already... when i found out it had flaws!! All the 3 of it left on the rack was dirtied. It had stains or black spots on it. AARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!! This sucks!!! My legs are aching like hell, we still haven got ourselves anything. Pang n yuhooi already seem tired from following us ard like mad. The shops are closing in 30mins... We need to get something ASAP!


Ultimately... we spotted THE ONE! We saw Daiso (not sure bout the name). That was our last resort. We ran in like it was an oasis and we were in a desert. It was a mini supermarket of imported Japanese goods. And the best part was... EVERYTHING was for $2 only!!!! Wah.. that's it. Lifen n i promised to shop like crazy. I grabbed a basket.. n took whatever i wanted. Somehow, all the things i took was for my family! Urgh... Wat the heck! In the end, lifen n i bought ourselves a mini pack of 6 colour highlighter pens among the other stuffs we grabbed. Btw, we were the last ppl to leave the shop. hahahaha... We were that desperate.


This is the misadventure of my trip to Singapore. So much for the GSS going on there. 70% of my total expenditure went to food. Gosh.. i could have just eaten here in JB lah.. Wat a terrible waste of time n energy to enter Sg jus for food. -.-ll


Returned to JB at exactly midnight. Promised to meet up again before i leave. And so we did on Saturday. Went to City Square again... like there's no other shoppin mall left in JB. Sad.. Made a vow to bring lotsa cash to spend. I swear that was my plan.. But it all went AWRY. Bought no jacket, bought no shirts.. nada. Only bought magazines n stationery from Popular. How pathetic can i be??? MingEng n Pang were soooo going to slaughter me alive that day if it wasn't for the need for them to return early. hahaha.... They still would like to kill me now if they knew that i didn't buy any shirts after they left. hehehe... Well, now they would know, but by the time u guys read this i'll be 700km away. bwahahaha... =P


Anyways, i LOVE u gals so so much!!! Thanks for tolerating this indecisive idiot.



Let's go shopping again someday? *rofl*...
