past whole week
for the past 7 days, there's nothing special to blog about. life is a routine for me, as usual. going to classes, then back at hostel, grocery shopping, go mamak'ing, and it goes on.
On tuesday, i officially lost my internet connection after a second reminder from the network provider. okay lor it's cos i didn't pay up my fees for the month of Oct, damn expensive lah, it's not like the service is that great, not even close to satisfactory and it dares to charge us RM70 per month. For a connection which doesn't allow audio/video/p2p transfer, it's really bullshit. i'd rather spend my time at the college lab for the next 2 months. oooh then i'm off to PJ, and we can apply for Streamyx then hoho~
met up with joa n may again on wednesday, had a great time at Chilis, none of us manage to finish up our food. Chilis must have this 'never-finish-the-food' curse cos whenever i eat there i never did clear the plate, they serve too huge a portion. the 3 of us spent nearly 5 whole hours there just yakking away, was fun, it's always fun to chat with old friends and start gossiping.
and yesterday, i made a hasty decision to return to penang, after my tutorial at 10am, i called my dad to tell him i'm coming home that day. i skipped 11am lecture, went to Jusco with friends to get mom her birthday present at the last minute, then off to pudu, managed to get a 3.30 bus back. i actually got 2 tutorial replacement on Friday, and guess how nice and kind my lecturer is! i asked him whether he would be marking attendance since the tutorials would b carried out in the lecture hall and at first he said of course, after i told him i might be going back hometown, he said just go ahead and go back if you've got the ticket, i would mark you as present! DAMN UNBELIEVABLY NICE!! but he asked us not to tell! hahaha cute la.
during this puasa period, those puasa-ers really get special privileges just because they are fasting. my bus had to stop at a food centre halfway during my journey back at 7pm, because they have to buka puasa, i understand they had starved for the whole day and it's okie for them to go get their food, but do they have to take ONE hour to eat? if they are that gluttonous, just order some food to takeaway and don't keep the whole bus waiting lah! damn inconsiderate, it's so ridiculous that they can't even tahan for another hour since by then all of us would reach penang. eat some food to alas perut okie lah, but to join in a kenduri in the middle of the highway is idiotic.
oooh woohoo, i'm home! home home home! nowadays it's very cold no matter where i am ler, must be i'm gonna fall sick, cold lah, wear sweater liao still the same. my brain has frozen, it's not working very well hehe...update later

Keep away!
Grumpy. I'm grumpy because i don't know why i'm grumpy. Woke up feeling grumpy this morning and throughout the whole day. Don't even know what caused my moodiness.
I've also discovered that when i'm in a bad mood, i tend to eat a lot, i feel hungry easily and crave for food even when i'm not exactly hungry. New understanding of myself, at least something good comes out of this hellish mood swing of mine.

yet another tiring day
Feeling rather grumpy at the moment. Haven't been able to blog this few days mainly because i can't find the time and also the mood to write.
On Monday evening, i went for training at Shakey's, it's great that finally i had the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in food line, it was all about carrying trays, serving food/drinks, clearing the tables, wiping them, but we did not take orders cos we weren't really taught that. After the starved puasa-ing people left the restaurant with stuffed tummies one by one, the manager discussed some things with us. He told us it is compulsory to buy black shoes and black shirt or else he would be scolded by his boss. Thinking that it is only a temporary part time job, i told him i think i wouldn't be continuing if it is so, then i asked whether we would be paid for the night, haha he said no BUT he treated us a regular Hawaian Chicken pizza and drinks. was a really nice guy for certain, with good manners, which is obvious from the way he talks. and so yea, i decided not to work at Shakey's and just take up the data entry job but hasn't received any news from them up to today.
Fast forward to today, started out quite fine, went to klcc to watch Skeleton Key, it is indeed an interesting movie, it would be much more inquisitive if pmay had not told me the story...hehe however i still did enjoy the film...HOODOO. freaky. Next we just walked around klcc, it's amazing how the number of shoppers and loiterers decreased during the month of Ramadhan, and then when the clock strikes 7pm, you will see a stampede of puasa-ers moving to their targeted restaurants like ants to sugar. Quite a sight. i think they spend more on food during this season than on normal days to reward themselves for their self-control. Loads of them enter fancy restaurants with their families as if food there is free. Later we meet up with a friend who came all the way from Nilai and had dinner with him at wangsa maju. THAT was the time i began to feel my grumpiness building. didn't know what went wrong with myself. Perhaps i was just too tired..
Reached hostel to find my room mate talking on the phone and then she suddenly turn to me and tell me she is boiling water for me to bathe! awwww.....how good is my room mate, u tell me?!! she purposely boils water for me because she thinks the water is too cold and even takes the initiative to bring the hot kettle to the bathroom for me to pour! too nice too good, dunno what to say, feel kinda paiseh with her treating me so nicely.

late night venture walking back
yesterday was a busy and sumhow wonderful day too. it started out quite uninterestingly but in the evening my frens tried all means to persuade me to get my butt out of the hostel and wander around wangsa maju like zombies with them cos they were too bored. i agreed with the condition that they must converse in english with me and ONLY english for one whole week, since there are 2 of them, well they bargained abit ler, so 3.5 days each, meaning 72hours, i'll do the counting. haha... it's really a big sacrifice for them, but well they wanted me to go with them so much....., darn, i sound so mean. :p
it happens to be their friend's birthday too today, so we decided to call him out for supper and wait till it strikes 12am and give him a lame surprise..... i suggested we do a special hand-made card for him and bought a chocolate mousse cup for him.. ..well quite tight on cash and they said they r not used to giving him gifts so that will do i guess, dunno since im not close to him at all, met him a few times n dats all. but supper was really fun, i sumhow can talk alot and go crazy with all of them, telling stupid jokes and funny things lah.
next thing we did was to borrow his hse toilet becos we wanted to give him a surprise and shock him with the mousse cup acting as birthday cake. search the whole damn house for a candle but to no avail. in the end, his room mate, a guy fr penang also wor, hehe he went to get a round candle and light it with the stove cos got no lighter, how sad. i then am responsible for distracting him from the others, they were preparing in his room, switch off light n all, after dat i brought him into the room, and wow how nice, he was soooo delighted! sang bday song and all bla bla bla, and chat all night, until 3.30am. they have class in the morning, so we gotta go back, and we were so crazy we walked back to the hostel. dead tired by then.
this semester is indeed different from previous ones.......

free free saturday!
it has been nearly a week here d, every single day was never a free day until today. thank god i don't have to go to any classes on saturdays anymore if not i might be mentally dead by now. about my part-time jobs, i don't even know whether i can handle it. have gone over the top when i was searching for a part time job. i didn't realise that i end up with such a busy schedule that i think i'm gonna be dead even before starting work.
first the data entry one, we bring back the data and key in, then send the soft copy back to them. sounds easy enough, yeah... but when we went for the explanation abt how to type and all, they asked us to do some typing for them to see, not just typing, we had to key in 10pieces of data and they'll see how fast we went. like some kinda test la. damn scary, kept doing mistakes, but the lady there said we did pretty good so well hehe ok. they'll be giving us around 2000pcs to do per week! god! i'm now doubting whether it is possible to finish it with studies in my hand too. guess it is okie since at least i can work on it following my own schedule instead of a fixed working time. by the way, the pay isn't that good. so when greed took over my head, wht did i do? followed a friend to go find another part-time job, damn i seriously need a check-up, now that i'm so free and conscious, i suppose i am crack. it all started when we were too 'mo liu', saw a notice saying they wanna hire part-timers and we went in straight into that restaurant. filled in a form reluctantly thinking that we wouldn't get the job anyway simply becos there r no non-malays working there. hahah...but what do u kno? the manager hired us straight n asked whether we can work during raya cos they really need some chinese as the malays will wanna balik kampung. so i ask la whether is there a double pay, and he said yes! wow delighted when we heard that. but after counting it ain't that much too. but it's okie since i'm thinking after raya i will stop anyway.
and now i officially have 2 jobs in hand, but both haven't started so i don't know what to expect. my mood was spoiled even more when our social psychology lecturer told us there'll be a presentation in Week6, oh just great! i thought i can take a rest fr presentation and hell it's back again.....wish myself good luck for this sem! haha... one thing i'm excited about is moving to PJ, but finding a room there is really troublesome.
lunch time now, food.......

dead tired
first things first, didn't get to do this yesterday so here it is....
HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY
PING MAY!!!!
Thanks for the meal, may!! had a great time with you and joa, i felt so comfortable with you ppl, easier to communicate, i'm so pathetic, can't find people to speak to me in english for quite long liao in kl hehehe.. was fun chatting with you guys since i haven't seen you all in ages, yesterday was GREAT!
on a totally unrelated issue, i think i've gone crazy, feeling tired as hell now....yesterday after meeting up with may n joa, my friend came to find me in midvalley because she wanted me to accompany her to a seminar, something to do with e-commerce, so we went there at 8 and attended the presentation and after that, those people there, eventually tried to 'brainwash' me ler, i'm not bothered but just listen lor, then one of her friends drove us back to hostel at 11 something, was feeling like shit already so hadn't got the time to blog until now.
AND today, straight away after class, at 12pm, went to Kelana Jaya for a job, will update about me finding part-time jobs later cos i'm seriously exhausted right now, it's finally time for me to rest now, i better go ... dying..

and it continues....
walked to the lecture hall at 8am, first lesson of the semester is TAMADUN ISLAM! taught by Nizam, our malay lecturer. after listening to his mumblings, it's 10am already, was asked to celebrate classmate's birthday and shared for the cake, er...don't even know when is his birthday hehe. then i was free for the whole day, such boring life. came back, took a bath, sister called and talked to her for 1 and a half hours, then slept for 3 hours plus, woke up, online, dinner, chat with room mate, then hang out in friends' room, back to my room, talk to room mate & friends, and currently online.
what a great day hor!........

back to classes
can't believe it has been 3 weeks already, time surely did fly! now, i'm right back in the hostel. the journey this afternoon was faster than usual considering it's a Sunday, the driver sped like crazy and he was talking on the phone too! reached the border of KL in 3.5 hours, imagine how fast the bus went. pudu area was jam packed with malays doing their shopping cos it's puasa time now n they r preparing for raya. took a taxi straight back to the hostel costing me rm30! but im not complaining since it's a relief i dun haf to walk around with a heavy luggage.
i'm so tired now, i can basically fall asleep anytime from now. my friend just informed me that we are having an 8am lecture tomorrow, damn....this is gonna be my first ever 8am class throughout the year! dis sem is not gonna be easy in the sense that i might oversleep and skip all the early classes. there's more, we won't have any break at all for the whole day from 8 to 2pm. crazy!
better go and get some sleep now....will write about my first day in third sem(the most miserable semester according to Jolene) tomorrow.

Talking about respect!?
remember when you were 17, what kind of a person you were? was just 2 years ago so still fresh in my memory. At least i know i'm not as immature and dumb as some kids nowadays who are already gonna sit for their SPM but are still acting like 12year-olds. what makes me say this?
well, if for the past one whole week you are connected to msn, this bunch of 17 year-olds keep inviting you to their conversation which also includes many other retarded 17 year-olds, i'm sure you will be saying maybe nastier things than me. i can bear all that, maybe they are just tryign to make new friends and chat with new people. but isn't it obvious that i do not like it when i choose to just leave the chatbox? they continue adding me into the conversation for countless times after i leave, and everytime i shut it off, the cycle continues. so i thought maybe i should talk even though i'm boiling inside, here's what i said and the type of response i got from the idiots.
(upon seeing them discussing abt SPM)
me: so u guys r taking spm soon?
idiot: yes
bitch: yea
me: oh means u r all xiao mei mei and xiao di di lor
bitch: haha u must be very old
me: no la dun use the word old
me: jus use mature (note that im only joking)
bitch: then how old are u? over 20?
me: no no choy not that old
me:im turning 19 soon
bitch: if you are not an old lady,
bitch: you are not qualified to call ppl xiao mei mei
me: issit? what's wrong with being young? y so offended?
bitch: pls dun be a second
kanasai here
bitch: we want peace ........................
the rest is not important....
what's her problem? is it a crime to be young? so childish, childish enough to simply add ppl into the conversation and even more childish when she can't accept facts....lame. and later hinted that some ppl shouldn't be in the chat. Yea chicken, i kno its me, like i begged them to invite me in!
Teenagers nowadays....saddening. Go take a look around Prangin Mall if you dunno what i mean.

english...engrish...england?
i know it just make sense if we were supposed to understand and speak our mother tongue. So when you are a chinese, every other chinese every where else would expect you to know the language too (well, most of the time it's mandarin). But this isn't exactly the case, right? English-educated people do exist in this country too, remember? and i bet only a small number of them are 'bananas' since it's either they understand but can't speak or they can do both. After comtemplating whether to write abt this or not becos i might offend ppl but who cares lah it's my blog. i had this conversation with a friend the other day about how chinese-educated people, mostly teenagers, get offended when people strike a conversation with them in English. Apparently to them, speaking in English would suggest that the speaker is showing off. With this kind of mentality, how are they supposed to improve on their language? Some chinese-ed teenagers consider their peers as stuck-up smart ass wannabes when all they are trying to do is practise to speak a few sentences of english and that actually gains them 'The Glare' from fellow schoolmates? i'm not saying this in jest or as an exaggeration. This is seriously what SOME of those kids are thinking since my mom's time. You see, i brought up this issue with her and according to her it has always been this way in school, she was from a chinese school, whenever there were students who spoke in english, the others would straight away take him/her as showing off. trust me, this little 'tradition' of theirs still carries on till today.
whatever it is, why must they think that way of the language? It is ONLY a language for goodness' sake. do you think they can actually improve on their verbal skills if they dun start speaking using english? English is undeniably the most important language for ppl to survive in this world, look everywhere around you, the internet, books, tv, road signs, printed materials, now do you dare tell me that it's not important? our education syllabus is based on the language too, in colleges and universities. But this shallow group of people just fail to admit that it is a disadvantage to not fully be able grasp it well. And so they choose to blame others of commiting an act of arrogance. I myself had sum sort of disagreement with such ppl too in Lower Six. Working in the committee for a function, a group of us had to deal with a bunch of such ppl and imagine all of us were supposed to be co-operating and discuss things. Knowing us, we would jus chatter away in english jus like any other time and thinking dat everyone understands english since it's an international language, it's ALWAYS okie to do dat. So wrong we were, that bunch of people got upset and accused us of deciding and discussing things only among ourselves neglecting them. Fortunately, everything went smoothly after a while and we even managed be friends.
Anyway, the point is, don't stereotype english-educated people as stuck-up bitches just becos they don't speak mandarin like you do. Ever considered the thought that perhaps some of us might want to learn chinese but weren't given the opportunity at all? Well, still we have an excuse for not knowing chinese becos we are not taught that subject in school, BUT chinese-ed ppl are already given the advantage of mastering both chinese and english and what do most of them do, they put it to waste refusing to accept it and put it at the same level with the importance of chinese. oh and later when they have difficulties in interpreting English, they will say things like, "Oh u kno la, i'm from chinese school so my english not good ma","we cannot speak english la","my english is so bad, how to pass the subject, u ppl good la can easily pass". Ya like it's our fault you choose not to learn while you can. Plain childish.
After i go to KL, i'm really shocked to see the number of people in my college who doesn't speak the language at all. In class alone, listening to some of them....sorry to say this but the standard of english here is depressing. and as time goes by, they start to regret not learning/practising/conversing in english, at least i know my mom sure did. when they are young they hated it, and then when they grow up they regret it.
One more thing, whoever who reads this and you happen to be chinese-educated, please don't be angry or get offended becos im not pointing finger at ALL the chinese-ed around, those that i mentioned are just ppl i know personally, people i had seen and stuff i hear from my mom AND neither am i angry at them for whatsoever reason, it's like a discovery i had found and wanna blog about.
All this is my own opinion only and not everyone will of cos see it the way i do, so peace out.
p/s: i can't sleep so gotta occupy my mind to make myself sleepy and yes half successful d.................

wisdom.......i don't have meh?
woke up as early as 10.30am in the morning, since i came back, i haven't woken up that early. the reason was to meet up with jolene and rach at prangin mall. had our lunch at wongkok, only the 2 of us ate cos rach is on vegetarian. then we found out jolene ordered dis 'peanut dessert' which rach n i think is not a very healthy food, haha... it is brownish and sticky, you get what i mean? we sat at wongkok for quite long until the waiters came to ask whether we wan a second order...cheh~... had a great time chatting abt nearly everything and yay rach is coming to kl soon too!
then it was me and jo walking ard prangin then watched Flight Plan, it was quite good, not a bad movie and interesting enough. it warns us that being a flight engineer is a very dangerous job which will end our family up in horrible incidents.
wasn't a bad day at all, at least better than me hanging out alone at home all the time, life won't suck as much if only i have a car! i want a car! i want a car! nah...jus me dreaming ler.. and it certainly would help if my flu and coughing go away, then i can eat anything i want again when my gums decided not to get swollen anymore, i for sure do not need a wisdom tooth since im already so wise you see. but no... my body thinks im stupid and for days already that pathetic tooth tries to get out and still trying to push its way through, ahh just give it up lah, will only cause me more pain.
nvm, i kno i need to drink more water and stuff myself with MORE ice-cream! hehehe

Struck by the wind huh?
All i do this break is downloading loads of videos, i finished watching the first season of Desperate Housewives and am waiting eagerly for the second season. shouldn't be downloading more files right now cos my hdd might really go berserk if i continue, therefore Season2 can wait. As usual i am real bored, watched Windstruck yesterday and OMG i could easily identify it as the best movie i've ever watched so far in my entire life...for now.
Everyone on earth just got to watch this absolutely fantastic movie! For those of you who have no idea what i'm blabbling about, it's a korean movie, a prequel to "My Sassy Girl" which was quite popular when it came out. I thought My Sassy Girl was good, but its prequel is even better!! the storyline is fabulous. It has everything a movie should have, comedy, action, romance, a twist and good actors. you have to watch it to get what i am talking about.
Starring Jeon Ji-Hyun & Jang Hyeok, this awesome movie ranks 3rd in Japanese Box Office. that just goes to show how good it is.
I am not gonna add spoilers for this, go watch it for yourself, it is more interesting and exciting that way. perhaps, when i feel like doing so i will hehe.
For those who are on broadband, go download it from any P2P s/w or bittorrent. No one should possibly miss this movie! It is one of the best korean flick okie!

Sleepless night
I ought to be sleeping at this hour but heck went to bed half an hour ago but couldn't sleep at all, and i thought i'm gonna correct my screwed up routine to wake up on more sensible hours in the morning. My plan failed miserably since it is already 4AM in the morning! Yet what am i doing online blogging? My worries of pimples and zits popping out continue. As i'm typing this now, i can even feel them forcing their way our of my skin, tearing the membrane and wanting to go 'pop'.
It is raining kinda heavily now, darn cold. It's so cold that it affects my breathing, it is not enough that i have a sore throat and gums pain(growing a wisdom tooth...again), now i can't breathe properly. So since i can't sleep anyway, got up and gave myself a dose of asthalin hoping that the attack won't come in these few days as i have got to really enjoy the last few moments of my free time before i'm back in kl. Despite the heavy rain, it is not to be blamed, serve me right for eating too much ice-cream and drinking 100plus. Don't know what has gotten over my mom's head, she bought cartons of 100plus and i mean it when i use the word cartonS.
This blog is really new..such a lazy ass to add things to it, maybe the reason i am not granted sleep tonight is to add more colours to my blog....don't bother lah, i wanna sleep! but when i lie there, i can't fall asleep. ahhh my time is so fucked up, the evil of holidays!

My revival..
fine fine...i know i said i would leave the blogging world haha but just couldn't resist the temptation from my itchy fingers ok. anyway the reason i stopped blogging was because as usual i am pretty lazy and somehow i got bored of the layout, it annoys me ler.
having my semester break now, it has been 2 weeks since i 'goyang kaki' at home much to my dislike, yes i don't like being such a heavy-assed good-for-nothing penggoyang kaki also ok but but but there is really nothing meaningful lest to say enjoyable that i could really do ALONE! those penang people are always busy with studies, revisions, tuitions, i am not blaming them cos i already feel damn scared for them since stpm is so horribly near, less than 2 months?! not forgetting now they are having their trials so it is only right that i don't disturb them this time around..hehe and that leaves me to being lonely and abandoned and bored and depressed and i foresee that i might be blind in the future due to long hours spent in front of the monitor screen. however, that seriously do not stop me from going online practically the entire day AND night, downloading songs, movies, softwares till my hdd is going to explode anytime soon. i only have 20Gb in my pc and that is definitely not enough, so now my comp is bloody slow, everything i do is delayed for 10 seconds, imagine that!
So for my first entry on a brand new blog, i'm going to make this post as meaningful and thoughtful as it can be, making use of my intellectual intelligence and high IQ and EQ, i am therefore gonna think of the most knowledgeable information i keep in this great mind of mine and make it known to the ignorant people who are actually reading my ridiculous nonsensical blog, yes i would like to congratulate you too for being able to put up with my absurdity until this very last word. Boo!
