And when I thought New Year's eve celebration was going to be crap.
No, in fact I think it went perfectly well.
Just how I would want to have it.
Quiet, silent, and tranquility----NOT!
I had never liked the idea of rubbing shoulders with other strangers in crowded areas.
I am rather an Introvert, you see..
I don't see the point of arriving early to a place, squeeze my way into the crowd, mingle around, yak yak in the middle of the road, wait for the clock to strike 12 midnight, while counting the last 30 seconds to a new year, being attacked with cans of foam, and then fight my way out from the crowd, coming home late, clean up, and then be happy that it was a great countdown party.
Nope, perhaps I am not such kind of a person..YET.
For the time being, I just love a nice quiet, booze-free heart to heart talking session, and that was how I did my year end countdown to another year.
The whole story would be in www.angkhian.blogspot.com, sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.
WITHOUT pictures that is.
I just love meeting new people, people whom had no other intention, but just to know a new friend.
Yes, forget the part when I said I was an introvert.
I am just being protective over myself, you see.
Sometimes, when you had a lot to drink, you sit around with a group of people, whom you might not even have guessed that it would be them, and you start to talk.
T-A-L-K, is better than any booze in this world.
Sometimes when you get confused with what to do, and how to do, where and when, all you need is to talk it out.
Probably because I do not give a damn the consequences of me, not being able to keep MY secrets to MYSELF.
Goodness, I am even writing them down to the whole world, so why the limitations?
I had fun, being laughed at and laughing at people.
Laughing is good for the heart.
All I can say is, it's definitely a different kind of celebration this year.
A good beginning, to start off with.
=)

Feeling happy today.
2nd of January 2007.
I was at home, with my family the whole day today.
We even had dinner together and we went shopping together. This is rather rare, so I am kinda overjoyed at the moment!
Anyway, other than this, something else made me happy today.
I had a long distance call, all the way from Melbourne.
From Penny!!
She has already graduated, and yes, she called me.
It was a major surprise, all the way down under.
Hahha, we talked about 20 minutes, when I had to go.
Tomorrow morning, badminton at 8. Muahhaahaha...
By the way, updates available in www.angkhian.blogspot.com now.
Connection was being nice to me for a while tonight, but MSN is still sucky!

Excuse my terrible English in this entry, because I am doing this in the middle of my daily tv dosage.Bleh..Kudos to wireless routers!!Hahha..
Someone made a comment last night, telling me that blogpage has been getting sien. Should I be insulted, offended or perhaps, mad? Haha, I guess, I can only choose to ignore. He said that I only yumcha yumcha yumcha which made my entries mostly about me, going yumcha only.
Well, you can't blame me if I am kinda occupied with my friends currently right? I just have too many friends, floating around my life at the moment, and so little time. I don't even have time to sit down in front of my computer, just to even read the daily blogpages I go to everyday.
I've been playing cards a lot of times during this holiday. A practice before Chinese New Year comes? Hehhe.. There's nothing better to do than to take out all the coins and bet them with card games eh?
Anyway, I promise a better entry, tonight..that's if I am not occupied. I am going to KL to meet up with friends tomorrow,..haha..see Peichie before her interview on Monday. Lallalalalala..
p/s: No more drinking this year alright?

I am writing this in My Place Apartment,Subang Jaya. Foo's apartment to be exact. Ok ok..Happens to be Jiang Mun's place too..
I am here in KL for ONE day, to attend the Education Fair in the KL Convention Centre tomorrow.
Some may ask, why would I bother to attend education fair when I am already settled with an Engineering degree in Universiti Teknologi Petronas??.
Hmm..the reason is,..the main reason is..I just wanna go shopping in KLCC, education fair is just an excuse to make myself feel better.
*Hiak hiak*
Anyway, I arrived in Kelana Jaya, Mel's place at 4.10 p.m. to see her clean her room which is SUPER SMALL. Like a store room to be exact. Quite kesian her actually..and she stays so far from the LRT station, so she has to walk quite a distance to college and back. And rather dangerous too.
We then took a cab back to Subang Jaya, where we unpack our stuffs while waiting for Jiang Mun to do her little cleaning up. OMG. Hygiene freak man..If I were to be her roommate, I will either die of excess nagging or perhaps,being murdered silently at night for making a mess.
Hehhe..
(*Punchee, please don't be like my friend here ok?)
For dinner,we went to Subang Parade for dinner. What's the Japanese restaurant again??..Sake la..something LIKE that..=) Nice food. Reasonably Priced. A hell lot better than Sushi King's by the way.
Dessert was on Mel. We went for ice creams in Swensons!.
Right now, blogging in the comfort of Jiang Mun's and Foo's room..and with Jiang's computer. Hahha..
and tomorrow is another busy day..

Even animals have emotions..
Alright, Jiang Mun told us that Dalmations happens to be the stupidiest domestic animal.
[Random facts which I didn't know about]
Like what she said about pig being the smartest domestical animal around.
No more scolding people "You are a pig!" ok? It's a compliment already.
***
So, on about the brief trip down to KL in My Place apartment, Subang Jaya, Foo's and JiangMun's little abode.
After everyone was settled down, took their showers and all, we sat down, and had a little chatting session. And then, cards were took out, and apa lagi, coins were taken out also. I did bring along my small bag of coins, because I knew that there's no running away from cards in KL. People would wanna con me of my coins, you see..
Mel told me, that she's the senior guest now in MyPlace apartments. Jiang Mun told me that Phui Whye's the VIP in MyPlace apartments. I, on the other hand, am only the Junior Guest there. Moreover have to pay membership fees to maintain the room.
Me wor..Junior Guest..Wait la wait la..the more times I go, can upgrade my membership status leh..Hehhe.
The usual card games were BlackJack and Chor Dai Dee.
I won quite a little sum of money in BlackJack, but lose all my coins to someone during Chor Dai Dee. Just because someone PANDAI MAIN TIPU, and me, PANDAI KENA TIPU..so eventually, the game stopped because I was running out of coins to pay my bet.
The card game resumed to the chatting session soon after, about 12 in the morning.
Everyone was bored, and I was hungry, so mamak it was. The host brought me to a mamak stall nearby..and food was..so-so only la!.
As usual, someone took my coins to pay for her food. Mengada, must pay in front of me pula!..Hmm, luckily me got duit kertas! Hehhe.
We talked a litte more in mamak stall.
We soon realised that the night was no longer young, we made a move back to MyPlace Apartments. It was near, as in the mamak stall was not far away from their place. We settled ourselves comfortably, and yes, continued our little chatting session.
One thing which I realised, we certainly talked a lot. From going up to the apartment, and down the apartment, which is 4 storey's high..to the time when w had our meals together, right up to the very last second before I boarded the bus back home to Ipoh. Not to say it's something bad, in fact, it couldn't be better!
Imagine the group of people you hang out with, has nothing much in common and doesn't have anything to talk about.
You berkulat la there~
We only managed to get shut eyes at 6 am. Mel was the first to "konk" out, leaving the 3 of us, lying on our beds in he dark, still talking about nonsense. Foo got high with cammomile tea, so I took the opportunity to question things which I wouldn't have dared to ask when she's awake.
Hahha, who wants to know, have to wait until the next gathering..Muahhahaha..
I was the first to wake up. No, actually I didn't get myself a nice sleep anyway, due to the sound of rats scurrying on top of the roof. Being a light sleeper, it's kinda hard to ignore sounds like this, unlike people whom I know of. I had to get myself ready to meet up with yiling for breakfast. We did meet up, and I got to see Jonathan Lam too. Guess where Yiling brought me for breakfast?
--Oldtown Kopitiam, Subang's branch.
Scary huh?? I also got scared of the food. But it's the company that matters. So long I didn't catch up with Yiling in person and Jonathan Lam, I only get to see him when I go for movies, you see. So, there we were, talking about stuffs. INTIMA's president you know..haha, must have connection abit right?
One thing's for sure..., I wouldn't want to be under Yiling. She will keep reminding you that she's the BOSS.
Yiling dropped me off to join the 3 stooges who were waiting for me at the entrance of the apartment. We took the cab all the way to KLCC for a fee of RM25.
Yeah, so cut short, we went la do our shopping,makan makan..talk talk, met up with Dai and all who came from Ipoh for One day trip, then walked the same place all over again, and then makan makan again, and walked again.
I didn't get to do my shopping though. Only got myself a book. That's an achievement you know. A great way to start the new year. Angkhian got herself a book..
Then it was time to leave KL, my bus was at 6 pm. So, the 3 stooges brought me all the way to Pasar Seni's LRT station..when it rained. We walked all the way to Pudu Raya under the heavy rain when we reached, we were all drenched. I felt so bad for making the 3 of them accompanied me all the way to Pudu. I think it was unneccesary since it was not the first time I've been to Pudu and so mm hou yi si walked together with me under the rain somemore.They even waited for me to board the 6 pm bus before going off for dinner in KFC.
Hereby, I thank you, the gracious hosts, and the person who brought me to KL, Mel. Chinese New Year's Holidays' dinner shall be on me. No expensive food though, only sincere, nice, reasonable priced, good food.
I shall continue this tomorrow.

How many of you are actually bothered to finish reading what I've written?
With the maha-small font that I have always used..and the font which can be difficult to read,at times..
So,how many of you actually read until the very end, or maybe, only up to this line?..
***
About my little trip to KL this time around, the company was fun.
And I just found out that Mel lied to me about me leaving my toothbrush at Foo's place. It was in my bag all along. Cis. I had to go buy one new one, which cost me RM7.50.
*Mel, bayar balik!*
[Owh, Foo's online already. Though Jiang Mun just said she just woke up like 5 minutes ago.]
JiangMun, though being a Convent girl, was fun. I always had something against Convent girls, something about rivalry between this two schools..you know, the locals always know what Convent girls are like..and what MGS girls are like too.
Jiang Mun didn't prove the theory wrong also.
She was just different in her sorta way.
Good sport!..always kena marah and ejek..
But still able to laugh her heart out always..
(*Jiang Mun, no..no..the total opposite of you..Not you...don't perasan*)
Foo was being nice too. No cranky moods.
Owh, i had a short conversation with her on MSN yesterday, and we sorta talked about general stuffs when I asked her whether I have changed.
Foo: You used to be joyful, very bising but now, you are like emo all the time.
Me: Why do you say so?
Foo: Sad face all the time, suddenly keep quiet..Cannot hear sad emo songs.
Me: Aiks? Where got sad face all the time???
Foo: You go see the mirror la!
Short but a very educational trip this time around. Learnt alot from JiangMun's problems. Hahha, told them that it's better for them to lecture her, than telling it to me. I get to learn along the line too.
=)
Education fair in KLCC was also abit redundant for me. Only there, to accompany Meiling at first, but went to take some information for bro also. He's like only 16, but Dad's already planning. Haih, guess our future lies in Daddy's hands also la.
The place was packed with people.
People from various booths kept approaching us, as we walked past them.
Jiang Mun was being a pest, when someone approached her, and she said, "No, I am now pursuing doctorate. Call me, Dr., Dr. Chong.."
Mengada la right?..Where got Doctorate la..degree also belum habis, wanna doctorate..hahha..some even came to me and asked, " Hmm..so you are in form 5 now?"
Like what the hell right? Do I look like a 17-year old now?? Cannot blame them also la right, I look young and pretty la right??
I was pretty good in saying "NO" to those who kept handing out brocheures about their institutions.
On the other hand, people who I know, kept taking them, even if it's not for any usage to them. What for? Wanna use them to balut *** ah?
Rubbish also ma right?take home also..what for leh?
KLCC is actually a sucky place to shop. Like what Michelle Lee said, "It's not for normal people like you and me to go".
Next time, whenever I feel like upgrading my membership status, I should probably pay a visit to MyPlace apartment. Good, convenient, and good gracious hosts.
And now, back in Ipoh..when everyone's back to the battlefields, I am here, sitting, waiting for people to come home from battle, and at the same time, waiting for my verdict.
Aih..now, I am beginning to hate the holidays..

Life Is Short
Butterfly Boucher
When it doesn't rain it snows
Yeah the cookie crumbles but in who's hand?
All things said and all things done
Life is short
Oh I am young but have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plenty done...life is short
Ooooh could this be....
Ooooh could this be the day I've waited for?
Another door to peek in through
The floor is filthy
But the couch is clean
At the end of the day
That's another day gone
Life is short....Ooo life is short
Ooooh
Could this be....
Ooooh
Could the be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...
Oh I am young but I have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plently done
Oh I am young but I have a past
Travelled for to find the start
Yes I am scared and I've been burnt
But life is to short
Ooooh
Could this be...
Ooooh
Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

Alone.
Done my shopping alone.
Went to The Store alone.
Surprised that I went shopping for clothes in The Store?
It's because they have Oreef's there.
Love surf shirts and pants.
I went there, pick pick pick and said, "Don't have to try-lar!"
Paid.
RM200 gone, only for printed shirts.
But I am happy. And that is the only thing that matters right?
Me, being happy.
S'long I didn't shop alone.
Alil disappointed that I didn't get to buy anything in KL.
But I am happy now.
The aunty next door is singing her heart out again.
Perhaps It's just me who doesn't appreciate her singing. No one in the neighbourhood is complaining, except for me.
I wished she could have just taken singing classes, perhaps I shall grow to love her singing.
"I am weasel" is on Cartoon Networks now.
"Cow and Chicken" is next.
Oh yeah, I finally finished "One for My Baby" by Tony Parsons..starting on The book that Foo lend me.
I think I would wanna have kids of my own. Motherly instincts sinking in.
When I had family dinner last night, all my cousins aged 5 above, came sticking to me..Talking to me..and the way they laughed.
So naive. So funny. So childish. So innocent.
I wanna have a baby boy.And he's gonna be named Yong Jun.
It's something me and MP wanted, when we got together.

"Write about something, Khian. I wanna read something."
"So what are you doing now, aren't you bored?"
"Shoo!~ Go write something, I am bored."
Hmm..let me be frank with you. I have nothing much to write. I have nothing to talk about, nothing interesting, nothing exciting.
If you count watching "Cow and Chicken" is something worth writing about., then I shall write about this.
Everyday, "Cow and Chicken" is on Cartoon Network (astro channel 62) at 1pm.
Or maybe it's only during the weekdays.I am not sure about weekends. I shall check this weekend alright?
Meeting up with EuQueen and Joanne later in Indulgence.
EuQueen seems relunctant to ask me to Indulgence, because she said, alot of people turned down her invitation upon hearing the word.
I guess she doesn't know me well yet.
I don't mind spending extra cash for food. [If it's worth the money]
I think I am only going for the cake today.
I wanna go for Victoria Station's steak. But mum and dad can no longer take beef, due to religious reasons, so I can't go with them.
I can't go alone either. It would make me look pathetic.
So..I need someone to go with me.
Anyone?
(We shall go dutch!)
I am hungry at the moment. No breakfast.
Night at Chang Eewan's. Her farewell, I supposed. I don't know. I am not drinking.
I think.
I am not going to drink.
Need to fetch Ms. Chan home. Chan Wei Ern.
Oh alright. Maybe one sip. One shot. Ok, one glass la.
I know there's no running away. Eewan can pour the whole bottle of Hennessy into me, if she wants to.
She's persuassive.And I am weak.
ok, laptop running out of battery.
*Yiling, leave me a msg about your little homecoming.*

READ!
READ!!
Read!!..
Albeit the fact that Mel, Foo and Jiang Mun, and Meiling is no longer around in Ipoh, I am still living the life on my own. I went for this little little party, farewell cum birthday for Chang EeWan.
10th of January.
*Dude, don't think I wished you in person, so this is for ya!*
"Happy Birthday and you are already 20!"
I can see where I learned the drinking from.
The people who went abroad and come back once in a while during the holidays.
Their tolerance for alcohol is so high, that they keep pouring liquor into your glasses.Like Eewan and a few people whom I barely knew but still, the drinks kept coming in.
Though I kept telling that I can't drink. I had enough but I think they got high. They kept pouring hennensy and martell into my glass of cola.
Can't I get high on SUGAR?
Must it be alcohol?
And I vowed to not drink anymore. Only one shot in her party, but it kept coming in.
Though I had it mixed with cola, I think there was about 2 shots I have taken in.
I already told EeWan I do not take in Whisky or Brandy.
Besides the drinks, there were food.
EeWan had 3 cakes this year. So lucky of her.
*hint-hint*
The company was good too. I met with WeiJin, whom I knew from Maziah, but couldn't recognized her at first, because she changed a lot. Oh yeah, there were 4 Melbourne Uni students there.
Despite the fact that I have a thing against Melbourne Uni students, due to certain personal reasons of my own, I did enjoy this crowd of people.
WeiJin did tell me things about MP, and the other half.I wasn't that keen to hearing the news, but I just couldn't stop her from telling.
Now, I have people to look forward to meeting, during their holidays in June and December, from Melbourne.
Surprisingly, there's a large group of AMC population there, but no MGS girls at all.
Weird?
Besides WeiJin, I met both her sisters too. WeiYuen was one of them. She is 22 this year, and she doesn't act or look like her age. It was fun talking to them. Alas the last one, WeeGhee a.k.a Christine was the limelight of all, besides the birthday girl.
One word to sum it all: PRETTY.
People from MGS: Khian, Lydia, EuQueen, HoiWan
People from AMC: WeeGhee, The "Wei" sisters, EeWan and 2 other juniors.
People from SMI: Ying Tuan,EuJon
People from MC: Joanne
No one felt left out, except maybe the youngest Wei Sister, as we were all in different wavelengths. And I didn't have time to entertain her, only managed to talk to WeiYuen and WeeGhee, and also I purposely pulled my chair next to WeiJin to talk to her.So many to catch up, you see and it was kinda weird to talk to her, seeing that I had never talked to her in Maziah before.
But she remembers me! She remembers the numerous times when Maziah dragged me out from my seat to the front and answer her questions.
Oh man, remembered for the wrong things.
Everyone left about 1 something, except for me, yeesan and WeeGhee.
WeeGhee is 22 this year by the way, and yes, she doesn't act like her age either.
We had a short pillow fight (I didn't know why I succumbed to that in the first place) and it was fun!
And she's PRETTY.
Oh man, I hope none of the PEOPLE comes into this blogpage la. The obsession with prettiness is too obvious.
I think I should give them a call one of these days. Like WeiJin. It's nice to meet people the same age, with different lifestyle.
I know, the people whom I mingled around last night, are all well-to-do people but then, they are very humble people. I didn't feel intimidated.
=)
*Names appeared might be wrongly spelt.*
*Pictures available tonight when Yeesan sends it to me*
I only had 3 hours of sleep last night.
EeWan was too tired to entertain us; she has a flight today.
Wanted to talk more to WeeGhee(very entertaining) but it wouldn't look right.Awkward.
I missed the sleepover I had in New Year's eve.
The thing with sleepover is that you don't get to sleep.
Bummer. If it wasn't for the flight, we could have..ya know..bonded.

As if waiting for your results is not bad enough.
My laptop decided to die on me last night.
My internal HDD HARD error.
Damn!! All my series gone. Songs gone!. My pictures all gone!!
I didn't had the time to backup my files so they are all gone now!!! And I have no pictures left!!..
Dammit!!!!!
I am so fucked up at the moment. Without my laptop, I am like without my clothes.
Exposed.
I have no computer to use, and this computer which I am using now is my brother's. Itu pun curi-curi use one..Die la me!!
Everyone from UTP is online now.
Waiting for the page to load..It's still blocked by the management.
Say accessible by 12, but now, almost 1 already.
Damn..anxiety is killing me la..

DON'T EVER DRIVE MINDLESSLY.
I drove out in the afternoon to get my lunch, and I crossed the road,without realising that I have passed the red light and into a street, full of zooming cars.
Thank God there was no traffic police on the standby..or worst still, any cars using that street.
I didn't even realise that there are actually traffic lights.
Scary.
I just had 3 glasses of vodka. So what makes u think I am a drinker?

Speaking of Universiti TEKNOLOGI Petronas..
Langsung no TECHNOLOGY ok?
WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM??
Saw the LINK on the university's main website, clicked on it but the page failed to load. Checked again and it says that "Come back again on the 11th of January, 12 noon"
So, I went back again today.
12.30 p.m, I clicked the Link again.
Still failed to load.
I panic.
Switched on MSN, asked around the people, and they said the same thing. No one can load the page yet.
KeeHui called the institution, only to be told that we would be able to log in by 1pm.
So, the long awaiting.
1.30 p.m, I came back again.
Only to be disappointed, that the page wouldn't load.
Kian Chiew told me that probably will be done by 2pm.
FINE, they have lunch time, you see.
I FORGIVE THEM.
I waited up to 3pm.
3 pm ok? - the usual lunch time would be over by then.
I clicked the link.
Guess what?
It's still being blocked.
KNNCCB.
I am here, waiting anxiouly, and they are still blocking the damn page.
WTF!!
I went for a nap, back at 5.15pm.
Tried my luck and yes,this entry explains all.

Due to certain reasons, I had to resort to pen-ing this down last night, before being able to write this here now.
12th January,2007
It's almost one a.m., couldn't sleep.
Usually if sleep fails me, I would switch on my computer and then, see what there is to be done online--usually writing in my blog.
But since my Internal harddisk has broken down, and the laptop has been sent for fixing, I pretty much lose my only source of entertainment.
If HDD were my clothes, I feel so naked right now.!
After much tossed and turned, I woke up from bed, grabbed my glasses and dug out my photo albums. I scanned through 3 whole albums, feeling a slight relieve that most of my pictures were already developed, so there's no need to worry about them anymore. What is playing in my mind right now, are my series and songs, plus a couple of documents which are very important.
Damn! Should have back up like once in a week. Shouldn't have put this task off.
Results are already out and whatever that comes after, wasn't good. I wished that it didn't.
I can see Mum and Dad weren't that pleased upon hearing what I have obtained.
Worst still, I have to report to Uncle Andrew.
Am now decided whether to tell him the truth or to fake my results.
What am I supposed to do?
I can lie to the whole world that I gave my very best, but maybe my best wasn't enough.
I know I could have tried a little harder.
I may seem to be a happy-go-lucky person from the outside, but the truth is, I am rather weak in the inside.I can't accept failures, can never take them in. Which explains why I never do anything big/grand anymore.
If there's no expectation in the first place, there wouldn't be any disappointments. So, why bother?
After looking through my results, and much eye-rubbing, I heaved a sigh of relief.Happy that I am still in the running for my degree, Contented that I am still there. However, upset because I knew I was worth something a little bit more.
Thoughts crossed my mind.
Everything would end, if I am no longer in this world.
I am no longer running in this race, if I am no longer able to run.
I felt sad, upset that such a small matter is able to trigger my emotions. I did mention that my emotions are weak.
I have issues, I know.
In the past, I did come across news about people commiting sucide because they didn't do well in major exams like UPSR, PMR, SPM.
What fools they are, because such examinations are not important and petty to actually lose your life for.
I thought after SPM, the pressure would be gone too.There wouldn't be any more public exams for me and the parents have nothing to say and to compare about.
I was wrong.
Upon entering university, there's pressure to obtain a GPA od 3.75 to qualify for first class honours.
There's competition among students to compete their GPA.
What is there to compete?
Can't we all just go in our own pace?
I have enough things on my mind, than to compete in such environment.
Being in the Chinese CINABENG community in UTP, it would only mean that you ought to get a GPA of 3.75 above. Otherwise, you are not SMART.
WHO GOT THE IDEA THAT CHINESE ARE ALWAYS SMART? and
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY A GPA OF 3.75 AND ABOVE, MEANS YOU ARE SMART?
I can get a GPA of 2.0 and still be smart.
I am just not smart in what I am doing!!
Bah! Like I am not tired, coping with Life.
Unneccesary pressure everywhere.

*Note to self: Don't ever breakdown while driving.
I had to stop the car aside.
It was rather scary.
2nd time of the week I have been driving mindlessly.
I nearly knocked a MyVi yesterday, and today, it was a motorcyclist.
I am just worried about my SLK. Do not want it to get scratched.
Oh yeah, shouldn't cry in the public. Not even in the car, while driving. It disrupts the view.

I am feeling "high" at the moment.
Someone said to me,
"Actually you are kinda cute, but why do you have trouble looking for a boyfriend??"
and all I did was roll my eyes and replied, "How would I know?!"

Yiling came all the way down to Ipoh to see me attend her aunty's wedding dinner.
So, exercising my gracious host skills, upon knowing that she's heading to Ipoh-land, I straightaway send her a text message, asking her whether she wants to meet up or not.
We did, as a matter of fact, we did meet up with Yi Fang and Yi Li in Oldtown Kopitiam, the Greentown branch.
[She brought me to Oldtown Kopitiam, Subang Branch, I must of course, reciprocate with one of the Ipoh's branches right?]
The next day, means today, we decided to meet up for lunch again.
YiFang, EuQueen, Yiling and I were the only ones who turned up.
Jacqueline only came after, to warm the seat.
Yeesan had no transportation, Karmun got something to do with church.
Lydia didn't want to come at all.
Oh ooo...Yiling have to berjaga-jaga already.
Lunch was at Maria's. Yes, no Indulgence this time, but a cafe, slightly cheaper than what Indulgence has to offer.
But still burned a hole in my pocket.
After eating all those calories, send YiFang and EuQueen home, dropped si Yiling to the saloon, I rushed home to get ready for sessions of badminton in ISC.
EuQueen did mention that WeiJin was going to be there. =)
So, I went for the badminton but stayed for the girl.
*grins*
Badminton was hell today.
My heart nearly stopped beating, after Lydia threatened to do smashings on me.
And the cock was flying so quickly that I didn’t have enough time to actually respond to the opponents.
WeiJin was a superb partner.
She kept smiling all the way through the games, and had to bear with an old-timer like me..and wow, her lobs and returns are so strong that the cock can travel from one end of the court to the other end.
*Angkhian bows in amazement*
I seriously can’t run around the court anymore.
And I love playing badminton more when I am with Chongkz and Arkinarch.
They played real nicely and gently, unlike Lydia.and EuQueen. And WeiJin.
Besides the tiring games of badminton, me and WeiJin managed to catch up on things.
I barely knew her back in highschool.
Like what EuQueen said,
“ Angkhian wouldn’t know WeiJin and WeiJin wouldn’t even bother knowing her..”However, it’s never too late ok?
We managed to chat for a few moments, while waiting for the courts to be available.
Found out that she wasn’t that sorta nerdy type of person afterall.
Haha, back in Maziah times, she wore thick glasses, and all, and so quiet..
And if you put her next to Chongkz, kesian WeiJin lah! –that’s all I can say..
Hehhe..
I think I am good in flirting with girls.
=) which kinda explains why I am still pretty much single and not attractive to the male species.
I don’t really know how to flirt with guys my age, maybe older men.
Anyway, as I was saying, flirting with girls..She seems excited while talking to me.
She even asked me to come to Melbourne and look for her, or maybe she did that out of formality, but who cares?
She did ask me to Melbourne, and she said she would cook for me.
Geeezzz…Melbourne wor…
Aah..but nevermind lah!..WeeGhee will be there..!
And Penny..and a few other people..like Adeline..
Let’s not pull MP into this ok?
Anyway, to sum it all up, today is pretty much the same like any other days.
The only difference to it is today’s much better than yesterday’s.
And this was written last night when my STREAMYX was cut off because Dad lose the bill and didn’t pay.

Before I begin my daily rants, please go to www.angkhian.blogspot.com for happier entries.=)
*peace out*
You know what, I am sure glad that I have friends, pursuing in different kinds of careers. I have lawyers, engineers, doctors, kindy teachers, psychologists, technologists, biochemist, pharmacists, all kinds of people whom will be having respectable jobs/careers in the future.
We had a nice badminton game this morning, with EuQueen, WeiJin and Ying Tuan.
The rest of the day was blur. I had another glass of screwdriver.
And I was blank out for the rest of the day.
Up to 6 pm.
Have you ever been to the crossroad, when you have to decide whether to take a move or not?
And before you take each step, you have to do alot of evaluation whether the risk is worth taking or not..
and the aftermath of each step you take..
That's very important, to evaluate your moves, to avoid mistakes.
FYI, I am in one of the crossroads now.
And I am not good in evaluating.
Which is a bummer.
Early day tomorrow.

How do you know when you are in love?
How would you know when it’s the right time?
How do you know whether it’s love that you are feeling?
How do you know that the person you think you love, feels the same for you?
How would you know if the person you think you love, is the right one for you?
So many queries in my life these few days.
I think God is fooling with me, with the classes resuming next week, when I have decided to put all my concentration on my work, and then, out pops this question of life.
I know there’s no one to blame, but myself.
For having a weak mind, a weak heart, and a weak will.
Back are those days, when my depressing entries are back in my tabulas.
But this time, it’s no longer about the old topic, there’s a new person in my life.
Not in my life yet, technically.
Since Streamyx is once cut off from my line, I have resorted to voicing out my feelings in Microsoft Words.
Aah, such programs come in handy when Tabulas is inaccessible.
=)
***
Second time this month that I have drove absent-mindedly.
Mum called to go for lunch, but I would have to pick her up from school. So I changed, took my keys, locked my gates, and in the car, I went.
I started the car, and drove.
After 2 streets away from home, and into the main road..
I noticed that a Honda Civic car that just passed me, looked kinda weird.
In my mind, I kept thinking that the company has came up with weird colours for Honda cars now.
Not bad, but queer.
I have this habit of driving, that I would check my side mirrors from time to time.
Dad told me that it’s good to know what’s happening around you, just in case of emergencies.
So, I did the usual thing..I checked my side mirrors, when I noticed that I couldn’t see any cars from the sides..
I checked the rear mirror, and I did see figures of cars, zooming by..
I looked into the side mirror again, but I couldn’t see anything..Just foggy figures..
I continued driving, thinking that the cars must be in my blind spot.
I stopped when the light turned red.
I checked myself in the rear mirror when I noticed something wrong.
Something was wrong with my face.
But what?
The traffic lights timer is now at number “38”..and I struggled, trying to think what have I done wrongly.
Now, the number is “29”, and I still couldn’t figure out what was missing.
“26”, “25”, “24”..”WHAT ???WHAT??”
My heart continued pacing..and suddenly I realized..
My glasses..!!!!
I started to panic.
OMFG. What am I doing without my glasses on the road??
The number is now “3”..
Shit! Where do I go from here??
The cars at the back started honking.
I couldn’t drive, I froze.
I tried using my right leg, to step on the accelerator..but I couldn’t feel anything..
The honkings are getting louder and faster..
I dare not look to the back.
I can feel cars driving past me, the drivers are probably cursing at me, for delaying the traffic.
I hate myself.
I waited until the cars have passed me, when I saw no cars left, I slowly muster all my courage, step on the accelerator slowly, drove to the side of the road.
I parked my car at the side of the road, and put on my signal.
I struggled to find my phone, which by now, my hands are already shaking slightly.
I couldn’t even hold my handphone properly, and to even dialed the numbers properly.
The first person who popped in my mind: Dad!
I called Dad, told him that I couldn’t drive because I didn’t wear my glasses.
Yada..yada..yada…
He sounded worried and all he said was “ How did you drive out, then that’s how you drive back lah..”
All of a sudden, I felt stupid.
I could have easily drove back to take my glasses and come out again.
What was I doing in the middle of the road, and made a fool out of myself??
All I had to do was to drive back safely and carefully..and that’s it.
I am already 20, and everytime I have such problems, I call Dad.
I ended the call.
Stared blankly at my wheel.
I couldn’t help myself, but I cried.
Not the sobbing way, but just, tears gathered in my eyes.
So many problems.
And I have to face all of them, on my own.

Is it love that I am having for you?
Confused.
I am afraid of myself, and you.
I am careful with my heart and yours.
I am scared of the signals you send to me.
I am even more afraid that I will misread them.
I do not want you as a replacement.
To fill the empty space in my heart.
To heal my broken wound in my heart.
I want you, the way you would want to have me.
That’s if you want to have me.
I just knew you for a couple of days, but it seems to be years that I know you.
Is this a sign?
Is this a sign for me to move on?
Or are you just someone sent, to test my love?
Like I have said earlier, is it love that I have for you?

I can never say Goodbye properly.
I cannot bare the feeling that this minute, this person will be there, and next, he/she will be flying off somewhere.
I am terribly emotional in such a weird manner.
Even when I visited my friends who were only in KL, I felt like crying when I had to leave.
Just like that, my emotions are affected.
Fragile, you would say.
But I can never deal with farewells and goodbyes.
Every semester before the break, there's this heavy feeling inside me.
I feel sad, knowing that it's time for me to leave the place.
The rational you would think that it's only a goddamn break, what's wrong with me?
But, no..I can feel that something has been detached from me.
I felt weird today.
Seeing her, having to leave tomorrow.
So much for me to say, yet I couldn't find the right words.
I can't even gather my courage to tell her what I have inside me.
Even when she turned around to walk away, I felt that deep inside, I so wanted to shout to her, telling her she would be deeply missed.
But the voice never did come out.
There was something in my throat.
When she turned around, waving goodbye, all I did was a polite nod.
That was all I could do.
I couldn't even say " Take care !" properly.
I just looked away.
She texted me, after that.
Asking me what I was doing.
And the chat continued from there.
She might end up in this blogpage as soon as she reached her place.
I wouldn't mind though.
I want her to realise that I feel her more now.
It would be even better for her to read it here, then for me to struggle for the best words to describe how I feel.
Feelings are odd.
They come without knocking, but leave silently.
I wonder how long this is gonna last.
And how she's gonna react after knowing all this.
Sorry everyone.
I know I have disappointed you, but I know best.
I finally found the medicine for my broken heart, and it's just left.

Everyone, meet WeiYuen, one of the Wei's sisters I kept talking about.

Man, already 22, but still looks young and gorgeous. *Jealousnyaaa*
Meet another Wei sister..WeiJin..

After being busy for the whole week, finally WeiJin asked us out for yumcha before she leaves to Melbourne. There was only a 2-hour slot for us, so we had to choose the time she allocated for us, or else, we wouldn't be able to meet her.
Although I merajuk-ed a bit because we didn't have any choice, yet because I am a friendly person, I decided to say yes.
So, since I don't know where to go, WeiJin decided to meet up in Jusco instead. (I was kinda shocked to have to drive all the way to Jusco to meet up with her) plus you have nothing in Jusco to do..but then, she mentioned that WeiYuen was going to tag along, I went for the sake of WeiYuen. =)
Sigh, guess where we ended up at? The kopitiam at the ground floor.
We could have easily gone to some old town kopitiam branch, and the coffee tasted nicer there than the one in Jusco.
***
She had to leave to Ebox after 1, because she had this appointment with her friends. See????
We are only given 2 hours perslot..
Anyway, I went home, dropped EuQueen back to her place on the way back.
Had lunch with mum when WeiJin asked us to join her group of friends for dinner.
She said it was gonna be Thai Food in Ipoh Garden East.
So, the first thing which crossed my mind was the restaurant is KohSamui.
I asked her, though she wasn't that sure about it, she said, it might be the one I said.
We reached there about 7.30p.m, and there was still no one around.
Waited and waited.
So, we called WeiJin.
It was clearly a bad idea, because she didn't even know where she was.
She passed the phone to her friend, and Lydia passed the phone to me.
The directions were given, but the place wasn't Ipoh Garden East.
Consider lah, but it was on the way to Bercham.
Luckily for her, I got the rough idea, so we were there, about 10 minutes later.
It was not a restaurant.
It was only a shop.
Ok..coffee shop.
EuQueen and Lydia wanted to go to Indulgence instead.
But we have to give face right, so I parked my car,and met up with WeiJin and her friends.
So, it was 3 MGSians, and 6 AMCians.
Gosh! Outnumbered!!..
As soon as we took our seats, names were exchanged.
There was an awkward silence after that. Probably everyone was afraid to say something that one side might not get it.
So, being one who couldn't stand such silence, I decided to break it.
After that, her friends started talking and I talked to WeiJin instead.
Food was nice. Ok-ok..Cheap..RM11 Perperson and we had a variety of food.
After dinner, was supposed to drop WeiJin to join her family for dinner, but when we reached the place, her family wasn't there yet. So she joined us for a short Yumcha session in Oldtown Kopitiam.
Send her back after that.
Man, crappy entry today..I am so goddamn tired.
By the way, before the dinner ends, her friend who gave me directions, asked who did she talk to earlier.
WeiJin pointed to me.
She said that my voice sounded gentle and soft, like a homemaker..
Wow!!!! I have a nice voice!!Gentle and soft..Hehhe..

I am officially pronounced SICK.
A slight high fever, headache, coughing and watery eyes..
And a hoarse voice; no more soft and gentle voice..
Sob...
*cough*
*cough cough*
(I am really coughing one ok?)
She took off today.
I am battling with the inner me, whether to let her know how I feel.
I am still in battle.
There's rationality to fight, and love, and maturity..
Aah...
Spent an hour plus to talk to Eewan on SKYPE just now.
Aah..she wasn't that supportive in a way..
I guess, she was just being practical and realistic.
I told her about my past last night.
She still thinks I am joking, but I told her I was not..With a dead, emo serious expression.
Yet, she still thinks I am joking.
*sweat*
I don't know what to do, and I don't know what else for me to do.
Sit and wait?
Or just move on with my current life.?
Already 20..Already 20...
Grow up, khian..Do Grow Up...

I woke up this morning, switched on the tv set, blast my stereo with songs of Sean Paul, and switched on my laptop.
Why am I multi-tasking?
Because I am blocking the feeling of loneliness and silence, from seeping into my thoughts and heart.
I am pathetic.
The coughing is still here.
I am coughing badly, that the flam phlegm gets stuck in my throat.

Second entry of the day.
My blogging habit is coming back, I presumed.
***
It was 9 something at night.
We were driving on a dark street, with dimmed street lights.
We passed by the weekly daily pasar malam in Stadium where the lights were fully lighted up but just as soon as we passed it, the street was dark..
Everyone was quiet in the car, besides the radio DJ who was busy talking on air.
My car reached a junction, I put on the signal.
*tak..tak..tak...tak...* (the sounds of the signal)
I waited for the cars to go, before I turned right to the next lane..
There was no street lights after that.
"Hey, you know what, actually I have night blindness..."
"HAH?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......"
Shrieks of horror came from the back of the car, and from the side.
*chuckle*
Things you said, just to break the silence.

#Happy post available in www.angkhian.blogspot.com.#
Less than 24 hours till the last breath of freedom.
Ok, I sounded dramatic, but yes, honestly I think I am going to get homesick.
The whole house is back in action. Except for me and Carina.
Hahha, live the nearest, but the last to go back.
=)
CAN'T BLAME ME, I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK AT ALL.
2 months of break, and I am so used to not having much to do..but now, going back, means surrending yourself to the lecturers, the assignments, the lab reports, the people, and the FOOD.
Oh wait, what food?
So, I have come up with my resolution. Y' know they have their annual resolutions, I have one for myself.
RESOLUTION OF THE SEMESTER.
1. Try to read the lecture notes before and AFTER lectures.
2. Do not procrastinate my work.
3. Try to spend a maximum of RM200 permonth and the rest shall go into savings.
4. Lesser visits to mamaks.
5. Play one sports at least once a week.
6. Go to every class, and not skip early classes.
7. Complete my assignments by myself.
8. Avoid arguments with anyone.
9. Watch series maximum 2 hours a day, that's if after I completed all my tasks.
10. Try spending weekends in campus.
11. Smile to anyone I see.
12. Be friendly.
13. Not to look awful in lectures, dress properly.
14. Sleep early.
Wow. I promised to be disciplined d lah! I need to pull my grades up man.
Oh yeah, current status: Sick like a dog.(no pun intended) --[*Foo, don't even think of dalmation]
I am really dying. Coughing is bad already. The last time I coughed so badly was 6 years ago..and I nearly died of asthma. Shit! Now, it's back, high chance that asthma is gonna be back too.
=(
My chest hurts now too.
By the way, get SKYPE and add me: [angkhian87].
This is because UTP has blocked MSN, and the only means of communication is SKYPE. So, add me lah yea.
If don't have SKYPE, please download it here. (it's free lah!)
Current status: Love sick.
David said he didn't believe the phrase 'love sick' till he saw me
last night.
772
Posted by khian at 05:07 AM on January 21, 2007 in .
I can't sleep.
All because of the stupid cough, and my chest hurts like shit.
And because I have things in my mind right now.
I just send her an email. Hope to get a reply soon.
773

I can feel my guts coming out from my throat.
The coughing is getting from bad to worst.
I can't even breathe properly, can't even talk properly, can't even eat.
I kept feeling that I wanna throw up..and I think I am going to, soon.
This is not a good start for the semester.
Why can't I be healthy and start the semester with a smile, instead of a pair of useless lungs which kept failing on me?
Damn.
*cough-cough*
*cough,cough,cough*
Enough already! *cough*
*ROLLS EYES!*
Aah, leaving in an hour's time.
(Thanks Mel, you have a safe trip too!)

First day of school..no..wait..torture chamber..
Guess what my first class was..=)
MORAL
Yeah, yeah..it's compulsory to take this subject ok..not that I need it lah!..
I am updating from the computer lab at the moment. No internet access yet in the rooms..prolly next week..
I miss home by the way. Coughing is getting worst now. I think I disrupted the class by my coughing..=(
KeeHui thinks I am having the "UTP-Allergy"..sigh! *rolls eyes*
Oh, WeiJin texted me this morning. Kinda made my day, I finally guessed the correct code. =) *grins*
I think I shall resort to Microsoft Words for the next entries before I go home this weekend. I can't stay here anymore.. I wanna go home..[HOMESICK]
AND I NEED THE GODDAMN INTERNET CONNECTION.
Oh yeah, I would appreciate if someone would just call me out of the blue..You know, there's no connection in the room, and I have nothing much to do. Already planning a midnight movie some time this week...and a nice drinking session with the old chums' ..=)
Long entry tonight. I shall be writing on the computer first. Do expect longer entries this weekend.=)
Take care, peeps.

The connection finally came this evening, when TeeHooi told me before Vector Calculus class..and I practically rushed back to check and yeah, confirmed!..I no longer have to rely on Microsoft Words at all.
The connection was so perfect, that I could call Wellson on SKYPE 10 minutes ago. And he's in UK.
That's like...whoa!!...Hehhe..
But I think such fast connection would only last a few days, until the whole campus is already connected. =(
*Can you people please not have the connection, pretty please?*
Hahha, my housemates are getting pretty jealous over the fact that only mine is connected. Coz I submitted the form early this morning, after Moral..and was supposed to wait for 3 days before they actually processed the forms, but unexpectedly, they were pretty efficient this time. (*3 hurrahs for IT department!!)
***
I have 18 credit hours this semester, which means I have 18 hours of classes perweek. Or at least that's how I interprete the credit hours, but I am still not sure whether that's what they are lah..Anyway, I have alternate labs on Saturdays, which means the chances of me going back to Ipoh are fat!..
Let's move on to the subjects I am taking this year:
1. Professional and Communication Skills
2. Engineering Fluid Mechanics
3. Principles of Solid Mechanics
4. Moral Studies
5. Vector Calculus
6. Geomatics
Ok, excuse the jargons, but yeah,..that's what I have to take this semester.
Oh yeah, I have Modern Music 1 this semester, which makes the total credit hours I have this semester: 19 !!
Insane. Madness...
If I were to take Health,Safety and Environmental (HSE), I would have 22 credit hours this semester.
That's like, hanging my head at the beginning of the semester itself.
Madness....
Current status: Thinking of Melbourne. =)

Mamak reunion at 11.30 pm just now.
Not much anticipation though, it became more like a routine, than something which we enjoyed going to.
Routine...
I am still coughing like nobody's business now..and I hate being sick.

I couldn't sleep last night.
The coughings couldn't stop, and I was so afraid that I would wake my roommate up.
One day, I wouldn't be surprised if my guts were to be "coughed" out.
Something is wrong with my immune system.
I have been drinking lukewarm water, and taking my medicine every night, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I wonder why.
Keehui texted me early this morning. 7.45 a.m.
Asked me whether I wanted to go for breakfast or not.
Just because our class starts at 3 today, we had to do something in the morning.
CIS.
I woke up because I knew, he wanted company.
and also because I couldn't even sleep, so why bother?
40 minutes to class.
I think I should go catch a short nap, just in case.
I have 3 hours worth of class today. Tiring.
On an unrelated note, she's having a day trip with her friends today. Must be fun. I think it's hot now.
I wanna go too...
Oh yeah, my housemates are bising bising about RAIN's concert. I don't see what's the big hoo-hah about.
Like what Foo said, "Who would be so stupid to name himself, RAIN?"

*Feeling slight jealousy after looking at Eewan's blog..aah, she gets to know so many people from around the world.
**I must learn to be thankful.
Anyway, Fluids Mechanics was kinda hard. I had a hard time understanding. Or maybe I am slow lah. I must learn to run their pace soon. But for now, I shall get back to my series. =)
Aiyaa, first week only ok..

Quote of the day:
"Keep the problems to yourself. Don't go running around, spreading the headaches"
Since I have nothing better to do, let me write about how the university life has started to sink back slowly into my daily routine here.
The first day kicked off pretty well. I went to bed, as early as 10pm, as I have taken in cough medicine, and my head was rather heavy. I woke up early the next morning, drank a mug of warm water, and set off to the first class of the semester. Moral Studies.
I was expecting a familiar face to walk in. Ms. Chong Su Li. As she has taught me Technical and Professional Writing the last semester. The whole class, consist of students from different departments, and different years of study. The majority would be from the first years. Loooked around the room, I saw the unfamiliar faces in the class. But luckily, the faces of Civil department from my batch, were there.
Let's not talk about classes.
I shall not talk about my free timetable this semester. No more having to wake up at 7.00 a.m. everyday. The only early classes I have would be on Monday and Friday. The rest, only starts on 11. Labs will only start on the 2nd week, so first week, is probably the only week I would be able to enjoy.
Professional and Communication Skills.
I am freaking out, even mentioning this subject. So many words. So many to read. and 4 freaking presentations which accumulates to my final score in the end. Like so deng deng!! I can't picture myself, going to the front of the lecture room, and to talk for 15 minutes non stop, about something technical.
All in all, I am still laid back with the current timetable. The only set back is that I have classes on Saturday and Sunday's night. Like WTH.
I am running out of the momentum to blog.

Well, undeniable..I am missing home. I am missing Ipoh.
Even being 30 minutes away from home, yet I can't help myself but feel uneasy being away from it.
Yet knowing that even when I am home, my friends are not around.
They are either 3 hours away in KL, or 13 hours away in UK, and a few here and there..Several in US itself..
I am not going to sound corny here, but I definitely miss the times I spent with my family and friends.
Well, Look here. I don't mean to sound pathetic, but I want time to go back when everything is so easily accessible. When friends are just a call away, or better still, I can always wait till the next day when school starts again at 7.30 in the morning.

So many funny moments that is fresh still, in my mind.
Like how it took 2 civil engineers, 1 psychologist and 1 random fella (unknown career still) to actually open 2 bottles of wine.
and how the random fella actually contributed alot in this process.
Or how we had fun playing truth or dare, when everyone was kinda frustrated because the bottle we spun, never pointed to me.
Or how amazed some of them were, when they were in the Yellow Truck.
Or the time when we went for dimsum as early as 6.30 a.m. in two different dimsum restaurants.

The times when we actually went for badminton and squash sessions, with different company.
But I enjoyed the badminton sessions most, especially the ones we had in IPOH SWIMMING CLUB.
The uncountable times when I actually called my friends out, just for lunch or dinner, or even supper, randomly.
The first time I went to the newly built McDonald's Drive-Thru was with Ms. Naughty of MGS.
I miss driving my SLK, picking up friends who live faraway from mine.
Yet I didn't mind, because I know they would appreciate it.

I know I won't be able to name everyone in my friendster list, but I know deep down, who to call whenever I am in trouble.
Well, I presumed it's hard to gather everyone again together. Unless, we turn back time to where it was in the year 2004.
And most of all, I miss

Lydia..erm..No....Euqueen...errrr...not really....hahaaha....(I was only joking!!)

Someone said that I am rather silly to write in a blogpage, exposing all my lifestyle, thoughts and stories to the online world.
Practically everyone, EVERYONE can read about it, and that, indirectly exposed everything about me to the public.
Who wouldn't know that I am taking a big risk in writing here?
Even at times, when I write something ugly about an issue, I had to think twice before writing down whatever I want to. I had to weigh the consequences correctly before actually writing down freely here.
If you would have noticed, I even write about my fights at home, my emo stories, my love experiences, my arguments with my friends..etc.
And guess what, I am not shameful/shy/afraid/scared to tell the whole world.
Why?
Because I have no one to talk to.
Because I know no one would be able to understand the problems I go through anyway.
Because I know no one would have the time to sit me, talking and ranting about the same issues over and over again.
Because I know no one would actually be on call 24/7 whenever I need someone to listen to me.
Because I know no one would actually spend time, listening to me.
and because here, I feel myself letting go internally.
I speak my mind freely, without having to think twice about the words I am going to use.
I don't have to explain myself to the whole world.
I can use "fuck", "shit", "Ma-hai" or whatever vulgar words out there, whenever I like, without giving a fuck to people's feelings.
and most of all, I don't have to trouble people with my problems here.
In real life, you only get to talk to a few people, in your group of friends.
But here, in virtual life, I get to talk to millions of people, at the same time.
I do not have to repeat myself over the same issue, and whenever you need to check what have I said, you can always click on my archives and retrace back.
Like what always happened to me,
Mel: So what are you up to lately?
Me: Oh, don't you go to my blogs? Go read it lah.
Mel: =.="....
Me: So why are you speechless?
Mel: I don't have to talk to you, I can always go to your blog ma!
Me: *grins*
See, it's all technology now. With a click of the mouse, you can actually come into my life, experience what I experienced, and enjoy what I enjoyed.
There's no longer the need of yumcha sessions to catch up, because you can always come to my blogpages and there you go.
I actually started blogging because I wanted my friends to know about my life, without actually having to wait till the next reunion to catch up. In this way, we can actually save up a lot of time, and skip to the main points without going through the details.
So, you ask me again whether I feel silly for exposing myself in the public? (no pun intended)
The answer would be NO. I don't feel silly doing so, in fact, I find blogging is one of my passion in life. One of my "must-do-task" before I sleep everyday. And whatever I write in here, I had never felt slightest regret for doing so. The only regret I will probably have is when Tabulas decides to shut down its server.

Wellson is being a darling, to be online at this hour, talking to me. =)
*Thanks Wellson.*
And about the cough, it's still there. Damn.
Oh yeah, Melbourne current time: 5.35a.m. Hehhe.

I am back for the weekend.
No, this is not an open invitation for you to give me a call or something. Nope, no yumcha that sorta thing.
I am only back for the weekend, because I want to see the doctor, treat my stupid cough and rest for the weekend.
I have this stupid headache now, and I have lots to do.
So, if you want to talk on MSN, just for the weekend, it's fine, but nope, no..I am not free to go for any movies or yumchas or anything ok?
Aah, made myself clear.
Anyway, I was at Building 17 today, for the class of the day: Moral Studies.
The time was 11 a.m., when Ms.Chong split us into several groups to discuss about the daily dilemma.
Not more than 20 minutes, suddenly the fire emergency alarm rang.
We initially thought that the alarm has gone wrong, and they are only having a test or something that sort.
So, we laughed about it.
Suddenly, over the intercom, the recorded voice, told us that the alarm has been turned on, and for us to stay calm while they check the validity of the fire.
For 5 minutes, the same message was played.
Ms. Chong went out of the class to check, and in the meantime, the class was into a frenzy mood. Everyone started talking in a high state..thinking that it was another one of those days that the bell decided to play a prank on us.
Soon, we started to smell something funny.
Smoke. We knew it was no joke and the alarm was for real.
Ms.Chong told us to pack our bags and walk down slowly. She even had the time to tell us to use the stairs instead of the lifts.Lol.
The whole building was evacuated. On the way down, I passed by the lab, which was only situated next to the class.
The whole lab was full of smoke and was starting to omit some sort of undescribable stench.
Maybe short circuit gua..
So, we reached the ground floor..while Ms.Chong tried to gather all of us. She gave us the task, and we were released early.
I think, we should have this once in a while.

The weekend is gone. Pretty fast. Period.
Damn.
I have a new lecturer for Solid Mechanics and thank goodness, he converse in pretty clear English..and he was telling us that the number of students taking this course is pretty large, and he is not used to taking so many students, and probably, the lab assistants will face problems dealing with us later. So, he said,
" There's only 3 ways to deal with this problem (while making a gesture with his 3 fingers)
One is to pursuade as many as of you to drop this course this semester..."
At this point, there were murmurings around the class..because Solid Mechanics is the fundamental of Civil Engineering, which means, if we do not take this class now, we might have to extend our academic semesters, which means we won't be able to graduate in the year 2010.!! And who would wanna take that step???
" Secondly, I'll kill the extras because I am an Iraqian and I know the ways..."
Owh, so now we know he's an Iraqian, and obviously, he has a sense of humor.
" Or thirdly, I can ask the Lab Assistants to device a way to fit in all of you into the lab sessions."
Phew. The third option seems to be better. No death involved hopefully. I mean, he looked serious while talking about killing off people..Hahha, and I swear, he looked at me, and his eyes twinkled for a second.
*Shudders*

At the age of 20, I shall not pretend that everything is all fun, no dull in my life.
I have problems with my family, problems with friends,and yes, acne problems too!!..
(Oh my gosh, at the age of 20, I thought I no longer have to wake up one morning, and to realize that the whole acne population has infested my face but still....aarrgghhh!!)
and yes, this is rather horrible to say, but I still have tummy cramps which kinda sucks in a way.
Class was at 8 this morning, with Moral Studies to begin the day. What a good starter, right?
I thought I was not able to wake up due to the effect of the cough syrup that I took in last night. I swore that I was walking sideways to the toilet last night..damn..so strong one!!
I decided to skip medication this morning, afraid that I am not able to focus in class..
Yeah, and currently I am feeling sleepy..I think I need to go for a nap, probably after a few episodes of the new tvb drama that I am currently watching..
I am losing the momentum to blog., really..
Any ideas what to write about, other than my mundane life here, in Tronoh?
*I am waiting for her email..Aaiih..torturing yaa!!*

I have this presentation tomorrow in Professional Communication Skills, and we were given the chance to pick our own topic and to choose our own topic of choice and to talk in front of the whole class for 3 minutes.
3 minutes = 180 seconds.
For some, this is just "wet-wet water" ah..but I have stage fright lah ok..
Ok, we are not exactly put on the stage, but in front of 20 other people, it's not funny matter ok..I get shakey knees, and also probably my voice will be shakey also..and..aarrggh..my mind will go blank...
Just because I can talk crap in front of a few people, doesn't mean I can talk crap in front of a group of 20!!.
Sigh,..why lah is this course made compulsory?!!!

" Overall, you have presented quite well. The topic you have chosen is very general, and you have a good voice projection. On top of that, you have a very nice smile. Just be more interactive with your audience."

Why do you think it's important to be happy?
Being happy releases a certain hormones, Endorphin into your body system and you'll be tolerant to stress.
When you are happy, you tend to lead a simple life, and it will go smoothly, your way.
I believe we only have one shot in living, since I am a free-thinker.
I don't really believe in reincarnation, and for those who doesn't believe this as well..So, my point is, why, why when are only given one shot in life, we choose to be upset and depressed?
Why can't we be happy instead?
Happiness can bring you an easy life. And the chinese believe that if you are happy, the more "ong" comes into your life.Happiness can lift the mood, your mood, and the mood of the people around you..
Happiness can be achieved in so many ways.
Different people has different level of happiness.
For women, they usually love chocolates, and for the men, driving and golf perhaps?
Just by doing something you like, can actually make you happy.
For instance: Me!.I love driving, being behind the wheels excite me.
Nowadays, there are so many books on the racks, sold, teaching people the ways to be happy and contented in life.
Books like this are for people, to motivate people, and to tell them that happinesss can be achieved easily and depression can be avoided.
Andrew Matthews is one author, which writes about ways to be happy.
Hahha, i don't even know what I said.

2 hours more to class.
I am early for once.
I sat up on my bed, clueless of what to do.
I came online, "click-click" and here, I am, writing about something which I know no existance of.
Oklah, means blogging about nothing to blog about-lah..
I got myself a hot mug of MILO - Fattening, I know..Hungry, you know..
Looking back, I used to hate the idea of mum,making MILO for me every morning before school.
I barely have time to get myself ready, and I have to finish 2 slices of bread, plus one big mug of MILO.
I usually end up, pouring the MILO down the sink, without my mum knowing, that is.
Owh, when I was younger, it was even worst.
Mum made me one big cup of DUMEX ( Milk for kids) and I hated it ever since.
Imagine having to drink DUMEX up to the age of 15??!! or was it 16??
and now, I have to make MILO on my own. Sigh.
Karma, would you say?
The cough is still here. Damn.
How to make it go away?
Shit, tummyache now..Ciao.

I am back for a night, to celebrate Dad's birthday, which falls on the 1st of February.
We are going to have a typical chinese-style family dinner, in Overseas, I think.
So, till I come back tonight, and have something to write about, I will, and even if I don't, I will too..
