What if...I'm still as clueless as I am right now, 3 months down the line?

2009-06-29T14:54:00.009+08:00

What has been going on since my last post?

Well, there was my final semester in uni.

SC 2-14

And then there was Fragments.

Too bad I don't have a photo of the lightbulbs.

Then exams.

Ah, those were the days.

Then Camp Cameron.

Family Activities

FlyNewsNetwork: Our daily dose of CC happenings with Sarjan Major Bulat :D

Chalet 11 :)

Then Church Camp.

Silly Dorm poses :P

Then organizing my shelf and books. (it's a big thing, okay)

Guess my favourite author. haha.

My good friends: dictionaries.

Notes, notes and ...

...more notes!

This is what it looks like. For now.

And most recently, Melaka.

Historical buildings

+ Good food = Melaka

In between those events were the Final Year Retreat, writing my thesis, Bukit Cinta and Rimba Ilmu, outings to Old Town Kopitiam, Upekka, Parent's Night, Scrabble, Carynn darling, warehouse sales, and lotsa bumming around the house. :P

This has been the most productive holidays I've had so far.

Right after my last paper, I drove back to Klang with Swee Zsuan who was coming for a short stay. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, especially the movie. (Madagascar 2 was hillarious!)

After that, what did I do? Oh ya! The OA kids from Kg. Dusun Seratus came down for a short weekend stay in Klang. There was 11 of them and we had a great time playing games and eating together. They put up a great performance for us too during the Worship Service.

And right after that, I went to Camerons fro my last PKV Camp. Truthfully, I didn't wanna go coz I was so tired after all the activities, plus I thouroughly dislike the journey up and down (I get nauseous), but I went anyway, and I'm glad I did. I had a really enjoyable time with fellow PKV-ians and most importantly learnt a lot from Mr. Lian our speaker.

This week has been less busy, i.e. MORE TIME TO HIBERNATE!! xD

But with the extra time on my hands, I have realised that this might be my last long holiday ever. Next sem will be my final semester and after that...no more sem breaks! :(

Although I do plan to further my studies, its not something thats confirmed yet. Its subject to whether I get a scholarship or not. So, if I don't get a scholarship then I'll just work.

I can't imagine myself working. Seriously, I can't. LOL.

Oh and speaking about the future. I'll be alone next semester. Soon Ching is now in Japan and soon, Annie will be going off to Mexico for a year. I'm so sad. *sigh* This brings the number of people in my class to a grand total of *drumroll* ... 2 !! Yes. Two. Dua. Dos.

I'm happy for her la, of course. But I'm sad too. I'll be so lonely. *sigh* But I'll be occupied with so many things that *hopefully* I won't feel it. (Soon Ching you better come for my convo okay)

Speaking of the future, now let's talk about the past semester.

Well for one thing, I thank God that I survived the last sem. I think I was crazy when I registered for so many courses. Almost pengsan-ed doing all the assignmnets for each course. I thought that was bad but, boy! studying was worse. No dout I learnt a lot this semester but I will never, never take so many academic electives again.

How bad was it? Let's see.

Spanish Discourse

Spanish Syntax

Spanish Translation

Spanish Literature

Spanish Culture

Bahasa dan Makna

Bahasa dan Masyarakat

Bahasa dan Gender

Psycholinguistics

Photography

10 Subjects! Did I mention I was crazy?

But hey! I survived! I even survived 20 days straight in college during the study break and the exam period.

Now, its the time to wait for my results to come out. Argh. I.hate.this.part.

So back to my 'productive holidays' train of thought...The next activity is next week, when Thyana flies back from Melbourne. Haven't seen her in 5 years. Imagine that! So I guess we'll be busy catching up and hang out. heheh. :)

And after that, my family (sans brother coz he didn't wanna join us) will be going to Chiang Mai for a vacation. Yeah I know the situation there is quite tough, but hopefully it'll settle down soon la.

Then there's Christmas!! And there's the Christmas choir too.

If you wanna catch our presentation and also the speaker Mr. Lian Mung Yee , come and join us on Christmas morning 10a.m. (I think) at PKGH.

p.s.: I can imagine Heba and Caning reading my blog post and saying no fluidez, no cohesion etc haha. oh well.

2008-08-24T17:41:00.002+08:00

I just realised a trend in my blogging...I usually blog after my holidays. haha. I wonder why. Oh well. Take it or leave it.

2008-08-24T16:58:00.002+08:00

Half the semester has passed. The mid-sem break has also come and gone. Tomorrow, classes start again. *sigh*

But nevermind, next Monday is a HOLIDAY!! hahahahahahah :P

Anyway, Iba Unplugged is also over and done with, and as usual, our rehearsals were much better than our live performance. My hand was shaking so badly that at one point, I used both my hands to hold the mic. Like seriously.

Sommore so many things went wrong. We didn't get to do our sound check, we forgot the kapo (Bel almost ran out of things to say to delay the time),I forgot to bring my water, resulting in a phlegm-y throat and sandy voice yada yada yada.

However, many things went right as well. The band managed to get there on time, our church members also reached early, Mr. Anand came, we enjoyed the other performances (well done ppl!), Mr. Lian gave a good message, and overall, I must congratulate the organizers on their good planning and being able to stay sane with the demands of 7 bands!

As for our performance, the first song went well but the second song....could have been better la. LOL. I, for one, kelam-kabut-ed when it came to the last chorus of the Avalon song. Tak sampai the key. DIE. Itulah, lupa bawa air. -_-"' Sommore nervous giler. Sommore the key so high. Sommore I'm an alto and singer is like a super-soprano. Add sommore nerves. *crashhhhh* ahahahah.

Nevertheless, we did our best and that's most important to God. Like our name, Iris, we are to reflect God's glory and not ours. We managed to gain experience and will work on the things pointed out by the judges.

Oh ya, we had the cutest cheerleader la. Chung Wei came with his little sign that said, "PKGH Iris" with a smiley. From the stage I could see the sign but his mom was holding it coz he was too busy doing the air-drum thing. LOL.

Okay la, this is all. Need to go do some work before I go to church and back to 9th college yang tak ber-internet. :( No wonder UM's ranking dropping. *sigh*

Well, this being my last week of holidays, I shall honour it with a blog entry

2008-06-28T13:27:00.004+08:00

I'm happy that classes will be starting soon. Yes, HAPPY. Two months of holidays can make you feel happy/glad/elated to go to class. At least my existence will be more than just bumming around the house.

but,

I'm feeling nervous about moving back to college. Since I don't get to choose my roommates, I'm worried about what kind of roommates I'll get. eh, not easy to live with each other if we can't get along you know.

However, the plus side of moving back to college is that I won't need to drive everyday from Klang to UM and back. (except when I drive there on Monday and back on Friday). That's a burden lifted of my shoulders. AND being in my final year, I get to get a sticker from uni that allows me to drive in secara terang-terang without fear that the guard will stop and question me. :P

I thank God that he has granted me something that I have really wanted for a long long time. :D hahahahah. I finally made it to the Dean's List. yay!!

But one thing I'm not so excited about going back to uni is: CrazyWoman. Annie knows why.

Today in The Star, it was reported that people have been stealing petrol from cars parked outside houses in residential areas. Where is this place where ppl steal petrol from cars you ask? Where else? KLANG la. If Malaysia boleh, KLANG lagi boleh.

Oh and that day during our RBS04 reunion, they made me introduce myself in Spanish. It hit me that I haven't been speaking for so long (last time was the DELE oral exam) and I'm getting more karat-ed.

The other day, I thought I saw Yat Tuang in Aeon. But I just got a glimpse of this girl coz I was drinking water and happened to turn my head at that moment. The next moment, she was gone. So I thought, she's supposed to be in Australia now, couldn't be her la. Just someone that looks like her. Mana tau when I went out with Shaleen and Zhu-Jinn, Shaleen said she's back. Well, if it really was you, sorry I didn't say hi. :(

2008-05-29T16:39:00.002+08:00

My current uni break has been peppered with happy and sad incidences.

It hasn't been uneventful, although I wished it would have had, because sometimes, no news is good news.

Oh well...

On another note, my face has improved, and I didn't need to go for a series a facials to clear it up. Not being stressed just does the trick for me. (haha, save $$)

What else have I been doing this hols?
-I finally sat for the DELE.
-Learnt some more guitar from my dad.
-Met up with my friends.
-Went to the elephant sanctuary and the other petting zoo nearby.
-Oh ya, THE most important thing I have done this time round was to clean my room AND closet. (Closet space is like real estate to me. Not that I have a lot of clothes, just that my sister has too many books. Yes, she keeps her books from eons ago in our closet.)
- Oh and I almost forgot...I turned 22 this hols. lol. I guess I AM getting old. How else could I have forgotten?

2008-04-02T19:41:00.002+08:00

It took me 2 hours to get home today

and when I came home I realised

I had left my

pendrive

in the

computer lab

haha. My complaint so poetic, no? Like from the Modernismo period.

So gonna pass my Literatura test. riiiiight.

2008-03-20T15:32:00.003+08:00

Well it's been an eventful week or so.

Went to Bangkok.

Came back.

Went to OA.

Went for class.

Almost got barred from my exam.

and then got myself un-barred.

*sigh*

I'm glad the week is over.

p.s.: David Archuleta rox!
Simon clapped for him!!

I have exercised my right as a citizen of Malaysia and have marked the 'X' on the ballot paper.

I VOTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE TODAY!!!

heheh

Cool, isn't it?

People say good things come in small packages. I beg to differ.

2008-03-03T20:52:00.007+08:00

It finally came.

XD

Meet my LAPTOP ..

Woohoo ! ^.^

Courtesy of my Dad.

Thanks pa!!

Now Melody, Annie and I can form the HP Pavillion fanclub. hahahahahah.

Food Glorious Food!

2008-02-04T21:01:00.000+08:00

So, Chinese New Year is just around the corner and the feasting will be kick-started with the family reunion dinner this Wednesday. Its only natural that when a person mentions CNY, the first thing that comes to mind is eat, eat and eat. We somehow think we eat A LOT only during CNY. But deep deep down we all know that it's not true, isnt' it?

Take myself for example.

Crab

More crab in all their kam heong-y goodness

Bak Kut Teh

Pure unadulterated Bak Kut Teh

My dad doesn't believe in BKT in a claypot. He says the taste is different with all the other ingredients. read: not nice

Rojak buah
oh and the kuih in the background

Huge bowl of ais kacang (which I shared with Belinda)

That's Bel's hand

A bowl of meehoon sup

Well, the crab was a treat. But the rojak, ais kacang and meehoon sup, that's what we have on our monthly trips to Kg. Dusun Seratus...for lunch.

Right, so if anyone interested in food items in pictures 6-9, feel free to join us on our monthly trips to OA. You'll get to teach the kids a Sunday School lesson or two, or help in song leading too!

Coming back to the topic though, as you can see, whether its is CNY or not, we, or in this case I, actually eat as much or more.

*gasp*

2008-01-29T19:07:00.000+08:00

I think driving has shortened my life.

Why, oh why can people just behave on the road?

I tell you, I cannot tahan people who want to squeeze into my lane (recklessly sommore) but don't wanna put their indicator light on.

I think I had my hand on the honk for a good 5 seconds.

Sheesh...some drivers just make me so annoyed.

*grunt*

2008-01-08T22:29:00.000+08:00

Some drivers don't belong on the road.

It was a Black Toyota Vios with a spoiler. I remember.

Thank God my dad's breaks really work.

He was this close to my car.

SEM #4

2008-01-06T22:35:00.000+08:00

Holidays are over and done with. :(

A new semester begins.

A semester with 8 subjects!!!

but

with only 19 credit hours to complete :)

(that's not alot k, compared to the hours I had last sem)

So anyway, this new term has much in store for me...or at least I hope. heheh.

Just came back from the PKV Leaders Training Retreat and and I found it to be very good and helpful.

On the other hand, I missed the first YF meeting of the year coz i was at LTR. :(

Anyway, Win Shean has come up with a canggih-fied name for our group.."Alchemists". Alche-wat? haha. That was my reaction. Well, (according to WS) the Alchemists were the scientists that were trying to turn lead into gold like a long time ago. So ngam since our theme for YF is "Work In Progress" and our verse comes from Romans 12:2,

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Bel and Andrew's group name is so adorable..."Morphlings" innit cute? ahaha.

Anyway, we have planned out many activies and programmes for this year and I hope that it will all go well. Quite excited bout them too :)

2007-12-27T17:35:00.000+08:00

Classes will be starting on Monday.

*sigh*

2007-12-12T00:49:00.000+08:00

Back from camp!

Frasers was cold and drizzly

brrr

Saw all the uncles and aunties shaking their hips to the chicken dance

Scrambled to register for my subjects

Got sick on the way down

bleh

Went for tai chau with Jinn and Shaleen and Joanna

2007-12-04T23:42:00.000+08:00

Say hi to the new member of my household...

...Teddy the Threadmill.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but this thing is HUGE! haha. My parents decided to buy it coz they wanted to exercise and, you know, Klang isn't safe anymore. O_o

2007-11-16T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yes, the semester is finally over.
Goodbye classes, goodbye traffic jam, HEL-LO loitering around the house!

So yesterday was the final day for exam.
My last paper was the toughest for me.
I shall not endevour to be a smarty pants (or pant) and choose crazy electives like Medieval English Literature anymore.

Anyway, I had mamak food for dinner yesterday, and you know, when I have mamak food, I always have teh-o-ais-limau. So my parents tapau-ed for me and I guess the ane heard my mum wrongly. I was given teh-o-limau instead. No ice. Meaning, the teh was super kow.
As some of you already know, caffeine really works on me. Just a sip and I can't sleep.
I drank it anyway. I thought, "Won't need to be up early so no harm having my tehoaislimau".
I was so wrong.
Know wat time I slept? 6 a.m.!!
I even got to hear my sister's alarm going off when I was tucking myself into bed.
-_-"'

Had a good chat with Thyana and Zhu-jinn yesterday though. Its been a long long time since I last saw them. I think the last time I saw Jinn was 4 months ago, and Thyana, its been 3 years!
We talked about so many things..mainly mine and Jinn's plan of going to Melbourne to visit Thyana. haha. We even checked airticket prices and exchanged our holiday schedules. Then we moved on to talking bout Steve Irwin, then my grandma, and then about death. Yes. Death.

Moving on...If any of you are feeling bored or you miss Malaysia or just have nothing to do, I recommend that you go to YouTube and watch all the Petronas commercials there. They'll make you tear for sure. I like the one about the small boy and his grandma the best. Seriously, if you need a good cry or something, go watch those ads.

Oh ya, and I'll be going away for camp this Saturday. I hope I won't forget that. LOL.

And, oh, soon I, Hazel Ng Jin May, will have a paper published together with my lecturer, Pn. Kuang. :D An academic paper. Never thought it would be possible, but I've already presented it and then they'll be publishing it soon. So bangga. Thanks to Pn. Kuang who helped me with the paper and encouraging me to submit it. Also to my friends Soon Ching, who tagged along, and Annie who helped me out with my BM.

Okay. This is all I have to say..for now, at least.
I shall now go and watch E! hahahahahaahahah..*ahem*

I was just listening to this song and I really liked it. So I thought that I'd share. :)

That's the Love of God Sandi Patti

What made God take so much care to make creation glow?
He could have made it black and white and we'd have never known.
And what made God send Jesus to die on Calvary?
Of course it was this joyous thing I feel inside of me.

That's the love of God,
It's never ending,
That's the love of God,
Always forgiving.
He's always there,
He never fails,
All He will do is love forever,
And He loves to share it,
That's the love of God.

It can change a family, it's already changed the world.
When Jesus brings it to our hearts, heaven's banner is unfurled.
And once you start to share it, in His precious name,
You're glad to see your view of life, will never be the same.

What happened?

2007-07-16T17:41:00.000+08:00

I r not like drivin to uni!!

Wah, it's been a really hectic 2 weeks for me. Teman mum and dad to hospital for scans la, got wedding la, then got class la, then got COPA IBA la...almost died-ed.

The wedding was nice, of course. Chung Wei captivated everyone's heart when he walked the aisle with the rings, looking all happy and adorable. Sommore he had on this cute little suit. So cute. After that we went for the tea ceremony pulak. Then finally we went for the wedding dinner. It was such a jam-packed day.

The following Monday my classes started. My first class was cancelled coz of a mix-up. hehe. Classmates and I found out that we will be having 3 new lecturers. From 2.25 lecturers (the 0.25 is for Nadia) to 5 lecturers. Tak biasa betul. From using just 1 book, we now have more than 6 books. -_-"'

Thank God COPA IBA was in Klang this year...hahaha. Just 5 minutes away from home. Didn't need to wake up at some unearthly hour to get ready.

Anyway, how did PKGH A and PKGH B end up in the same group??

Sommore our first match was against each other. -_-'''
Sommore we played 2 games back-to-back.
Sommore the time so pekchek.
Sommore we lost. *heheh*

Aiyah, we play for fun wan mah-at least for team B la. And we did have fun. We had Colin, Calvin, Edwin and Matt from Klang Jaya who joined us and also a few newbies in our team.
We didn't strike terror in the hearts of our opponents but we truly enjoyed ourselves. :)

Now about uni. Well, I finally got my Elektif dalam Fakulti. Joined most of the Japanese majors for English for Business Correspondence. The lecturer is nice. She doesn't sweat the small stuff.

Know wat?? Everyday my class starts at 8 am. Imagine...Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday my classes start at 8 am!! Crazy right??? I have to wake up giler early everyday at 5.30 am so that I can leave house at 6.30 am. All to avoid traffic jam. But then the traffic is still slow though when I reach Subang. -_-'''

Pendek kata: I R NOT LIKE DRIVIN!

Dear non-existing readers of this blog...

2007-06-19T16:44:00.000+08:00

This blogger is currently having writer's block and that is why her blog has not been updated for a gazillion years. We think its due to her daily activity that consists of doing totally nothing except the occasional rotting here and there around her house for the past month-and-a-half. Tough job, isn't it? Let's just hope that she gets the writer's un-block and starts blogging again!

C'est la vie

2007-05-30T14:52:00.000+08:00

I received my results by mail yesterday.

They are all good...maybe except KAB. Kinda expected that. LOL

There was a 0.01 improvement in my CGPA.

But still missed the mark for Dean's List. -_-"'

Just another day

2007-05-08T15:33:00.000+08:00

Alas, the day I turn 21 is here. What does it feel like? Nothing. Just like any other day. That's why I don't get all the big fuss that ppl make about it. Oh well...

I thank GOD for granting me all my 21 years here on earth.

Anyway, I just wanna say THANKS to all of you who have messaged me or even called to wish me.

2007-04-30T16:20:00.000+08:00

Finally the holidays are here!

I hear the sound of HOLIDAYS coming!!

2007-04-25T17:47:00.000+08:00

I was just thinking of what I'll do during my coming break and I was suddenly reminded of what I did this time last year.

Well this time last year, I went to Malacca for 5 days with Chen Li. Had a great time there. I remember that it was Juliana's birthday and Chen Li wanted to give her a surprise by dropping by her hse and presenting me. You see, Ju didn't know I was coming, or rather, that I had come. LOL. In the end, we decided against it coz we didnt want to give Ju a heart attack. INSTEAD, when we reached Chen Li's home, Chen Li called Ju and and saidlah, that she could do a very good Hazel voice impersonation. LOL. So there we were, fooling Ju until she also believed that Chen Li could really do a good impersonation of my voice. Then in the end we told her the truth. All I can say is, good thing we didn't go over to her house. Haha. I really enjoyed my time there. Helped them wrap the mugs for their Family Night, jalan-jalan with Chen Li, Ju, Melissa and Melinda to Mini Malaysia, Jonker, pasar malam, St. Paul's Hill etc...Aaah..those were good times.

But anyway, the HOLIDAYS ARE NEAR!!!

Although I might be working during the holidays, but I dun care.
NO walking to class,
NO assignments,
NO college food,
NO Hubungan Etnik,
NO Komunikasi Antara Budaya...NADA!!! hahahaha.

But then, there will also be
NO late night talks with my roommates,
NO more asam binges with Swee Zsuan,
NO more comfortable mattress,
NO more looking at our food posters in the room (esp the Domino's one).

Sadness =(

I say that I dun like staying in college but I must say that I will miss living together with my roommates. I tell you, we just click. I always tell them that I thank God that we got each other as roomies. haha.
You know, Melody and Shuh Yin thought that Swee Zsuan and I were Malays on the first day. LOL. The thing is, SZ is a quarter Indian and three-quarters Chinese, and I'm just..dark. (It was a day after COPAIBA, you see).

I will really miss them la. *sigh*

but then again... the HOLIDAYS ARE NEAR!!
=D

Surprises

2007-04-14T21:02:00.000+08:00

Well, exams will be starting next week and guess wat?...I'm already sick. hmmph. Anyway, I didn't stay home for the study week coz, you know, how to study at home?..There are always lotsa things to distract me. So I went back to college and i studied. Really. I studied. From Hubungan Etnik to KM and also Komunikasi Antara Budaya. LOL.

Anyway, my exams are supposed to ends on the 27th of April but it got pushed to the 29th, which is a SUNDAY!!! hmmph. Why? Coz I actually had a paper on the 26th, but since it has been declared a public holiday for the YDPAgong's coronation, all exams that were supposed to be on the 2th have been postponed to the 27th. haih. Oh well, can't do much about it so i just gotta embrace it la.

Oh ya, when I came home this morning, I got a shock with what I saw. Let me describe it: it is big, flat and it shows pictures. Got it?..haha. My dad got a new 32" flatscreen LCD TV! Almost pengsan due to shock. Never thought my dad would buy such a large thing. Actually, I never thought that he would even get a new TV. Lol. As I just said..Since I can't do much about it, i just gotta embrace it..RiTE? haha.

2007-03-23T19:43:00.000+08:00

I wonder how come I found it so difficult to keep in touch with my school friends; even my close ones. I guess I didn't have the initiative last time. I guess it a little too late now, no? Since everyone's busy with their own thing, and also some of them overseas. Sometimes I see how they have kept touch with their other school mates that i can't help but envy them. Ya, i still do keep in touch with a few of them, but even then I only see them once or twice a year. Sometimes I wonder if I sound uninterested when they call me out. Its not that I'm not interested, its just that I am not sure if I can make it, AND being me, I don't like to give ppl empty promises. If I agree to something, I have to be sure that I am able to carry it out. Hence, sometimes when yall call I might sound apprehensive or maybe like I don't like going out with yall. Oh well. *sigh* Maybe I should put more effort into keeping-in-touch with my kawan-kawans. Who ever said it was easy?

I wonder what the future holds for me. You see, for the Foreign Language Festival at my faculty, we had some talks on career opportunities which were given by one lady from Jobstreet and another from APL-NOL. Well, all I can say is that of the many foreign languages that they are interested in, Spanish ain't one of them. Why? I dunno.

I wonder if I'll ever manage to find a house to live in for next sem! Its proving quite tough now to get a place for the right price and location. Plus the many different wants of different people. I wonder if I'll end up in a nut house because of this.
====================================================================

ANYWAY, have any of you heard of an e-mail voting system to decide where to go and eat Bah Kut Teh (or BKT)?? Well, this happens in my family. LOL. Was just reading my mail and I found this email from my cousin, YT:

I personally feel the need to eat BKT. I am planning this Saturday morning (31/3/07) but can't decide which venue to eat at. So please pick 1, 2 or 3. Remember that might is right when it comes to the selection of BKT venues.

1 : Left shop (Ah Lek behind Ah Kong's house)
2 : Middle shop
3 : Right shop (nearest to KTM station)

Thanks.

And guess wat? There were replies from Cousin Kingdom & Co.. NOT only replies, but other suggestions of BKT shops. Man, we're really commited to BKT. Here's an example of a reply:

Upon receiving this message of great importance,my legion of scholars immediately begun to study the stars as instructed by yours truly and informed me that the alignment of the stars currently point towards :- 3 : Right shop (nearest to KTM station) This shall therefore be my vote>> (nature of message above is due to excessive accounting classes,lol).

When my cousin in Singapore said she couldn't come, this was the reply:

Grace,

Where is your commitment to the BKT? :) I see Johor plate cars parked outside at the shops on Saturday mah :)

And then when no one voted for #1:

The voting process is fair one. What I am wondering is why nobody wants to eat at Ah Lek and yet he is the one with the S-Class.

NOT only replies but other suggestions were given as well:

O_O noobs! SIN B HIONG FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 points to me for suggesting the winning location!

The final decision?...

OK, so based on my unbiased and fair voting system, we shall be going for BKT this Saturday morning at 8:00am at the middle shop. It is a public holiday. Whoever can make it, you are cordially invited to join. The more the merrier.

P.S. - Sorry Edmund, still no pig intestines though.

Yup. This is my family. =)

Mysterious Happenings...

2007-02-12T14:39:00.000+08:00

Well to start off, its been a long time since my last post. All this due to the fact that I had no internet connection. And so, many things have been happening and have happened.

MYSTERY #1
I have been busy trying to complete my assignments for Pn. Kuang's research paper class on Fridays. A very trying and challenging time for all of us to complete our introductions, lit reviews, questionnaires and what-nots. When Wednesday and Thursday comes, most of us will be stressed, easily agitated and worried and not to mention we will all be lacking in sleep...ALL FOR A 3 CREDIT HOUR PAPER THAT WE HAVE ONCE A WEEK!! Crazy anot? A friend has pointed out that most of us are spending more time on this paper than our other more important subjects like our 1117 and 1118 papers whatever major we are. *sheesh* Anyway, there was this one weekend that I had to pass up my intro la. So i happily typed and printed it out lo. The next week ,wanted to do my lit review, but to my horror, i couldn't find my pendrive. *gasp* Almost died-ed. All my work is in my pendrive and i didnt copy it into anywhere else. I know, foolish of me. Anyway, I went looking all over for it in the house but still couldn't find it. So, i came to the conclusion that it was stolen when i went to the main library. Eh, it has happened before, but not to me la. So how? Monday sommore had to pass up the lit review and i had nothing. NOTHING!! So i just had to tell Pn. Kuang what happened and ask for an extension of time. She gave me till Thursday to complete and hand in. Wah so happy man. So off I went doing my stuff and thinking about my stolen pendrive til....my brother messaged me to say that it was found in the mashing machine...AFTER a wash cycle. I was like "How can? I looked everywhere and even checked my pockets.." But i guess when i was panicking over it i missed out some stuff la. Not sure if it still can work after going through a wash cycle in the biggest washing machine ever.(FYI my house punya washing maching can was 11kg of clothes at one go. So, just imagine the size la).
Mystery #1: SOLVED

MYSTERY #2
So yesterday being the 2nd Sunday of the month I went for OA as usual. Reached home at about 5.15pm and was feeling tired. When i finished showering my parents had already come back. Dad told me there was a gift for me and I was like "What? From who?". He didnt know. The present had my name typewritten and cut, and then pasted on the wrapper. No clue of the sender. Then I opened it. It was a book. Didnt look at the title but straight open the cover to see who the sender was. There was a note but no name...ish. So I then attempted to guess who the sender was by looking at the hand-writing. I thought, it looked like Joanna's, plus she knew where i lived. So i messaged her and asked but she said nope, she isn't the person. And so, i was back to square one. Who is it? Firstly, the book was dropped into my house's postbox which meant the person knew where I lived, which, narrows down the possibilities. Only my school frens and church frens, apart from family know where i live. So who gave me the book? I didn't know. I still don't. If you are like the person who gave the book to me, pls tell me. On the contrary to what your note said, i don't know who you are. ish.
Mystery #2: UNSOLVED

-_-"'

My new old house

2007-01-20T21:37:00.000+08:00

I came back yesterday to a house that looked so different from the one i left on Monday. No more sliding doors and windows..there's now a 2 leaf door and new windows. Even the colour of my house has changed..inside and out. Oh and there's like no more kitchen..sudah kena roboh. LOL. I like the changes...something different after so many years. Anyway, there's still tonnes of dust everywhere. They don't seem to go away. *sigh*

By the way, let me tell you how long it took me to get back from PJ yesterday. It took a grand total of....2 HOURS!! PJ back to Klang. It was raining heavily yesterday. And the road was jammed. Good thing I took the Kesas instead of Federal. If not, it would have taken me longer to reach home. I was so tired when i got back. Why? Coz my sister's car brakes are very loose, ie. i need to floor it to stop. This during a jam can be stressful. Plus those drivers that don't switch on their headlights during heavy rain. Is it really that difficult? haih..

On another note, I have almost finalised my topic for my researchj already. Yay! After so long. Nowadys, Thursday nights are so busy for me coz on Frideay there's the Ilmiah class and have to finish all of Pn. Kuang's homework. Although this class takes up alot of time, but i really enjoy it. Pn. Kuang encourages critical thinking so...we criticise each others work.Yup. But not the type of sarcastic, hurtful kind..but the constructive type. We give comments or opinions about our friends' presention. Nice :)

Okay, that's all for now. I'm feeling too lazy to type sommore. :D

Apa macam?

2007-01-13T22:41:00.000+08:00

Its been 3 weeks since uni started. How has it been? Well, fun and busy at the same time. At least I have been spared walking to class coz Soon Ching has her Little Turtle and she gives me rides. hehe. PLUS I got to bring a car to uni as my sister has gone to Jakarta to work for 2 weeks. Yup, so far so good la. But this sem i'm taking this course called Penulisan Kertas Ilmiah which really consumes a lot of my time. Basically, its a course that teaches us how to our research paper for our 3rd year. And we actually have to produce a research paper at the end of the semester. This course does not have an exam. We are graded from week to week from our work. Anyway, we have lots to do for this class. Ok, enough of boring stuff.

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

The renovation on my house has finally begun. Last week, the electrician came and hacked a few holes in our walls. Then yesterday the ceiling guy came to do the ceiling(duh!) and today the painter came to get rid of the paint on the outside walls. So, our furniture has been moved in and out and in and out dunnno how many times. But that's not the last of it. The house has to be painted inside and out, the contractor has to come and change the windows, the toilet re-tiled,the gate fixed, the door fixed and the kitchen re-done, or like my dad said, re-configured. Everything's gonna be topsy-turvy. And all the dust...cannot imagine how its all gonna be. At this time I'm happy i stay in college. No need to deal with all of the dirt and dust. LOL.

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

A question that Joy asked during CG made me realise something. She asked us "Are you looking forward to the year?". So i thought and the i realised that I AM!! haha. Not sure if i have ever looked forward to a year before but this is the first time that i consciously know that i am. So...Why? Because I have some things that i am looking forward to doing this year. Whether it is of church, uni, house, family and self, I actually have something that i am excited about. :)
BRING IT ON 2007!!

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

An afternoon with friends...

2006-12-30T17:34:00.000+08:00

Had lunch with Zhu-jinn and Shaleeni today. Went out to Taipan to try food at a restraunt there. Had loads of laughs AND food. We were acting all gila-gila...haha. Not proper but much more fun. After that went to Shaleen's house to visit and sit and eat more and watch tv and play with the cat and dog. The dog was soooo cute but it kept wanting to jump on me. Wonder why..And then there's the cat with the canggih name..Tyrende or something like that. Cute little cat..haha. Jinn enjoyed playing with it...the paper balls and the string and the mineral bottle..lol. Having another reunion on Friday. Looking forward to it. Especially since there wasn't any Deepavali in Shaleen's this year. I miss auntie's good food...

On another note..I have been having class this week. So potong stim. Syok with Christmas then suddenly go back to uni..haih. But it was okla. Had fun with my roommates. Melody got me hooked to Bejeweled. There's like a gazillion games on her laptop. Never-ending fun..HAHA. Yup..one day she was playing this game and Swee Szuan and I were paying so much attention that we didn't realise a monkey came into our room. Szuan thought it was a cat until she turned to look and i turned to look and then we realised it was not.LOL. Then both of us shouted but the monkey selamba just take our bread and wanted to eat it there and then! But then Szuan chased it away. Wondering how it came in ah? Through the front door. It was wide open coz that day was very windy so we opened the door. -_-"'
Yesterday had class at 8am. Well it was supposed to be at 8 but it got pushed to 9am instead. So I was at the faculty from 8-12pm. Ish..I actually woke up late and had to rush like giler. Good thing Soon Ching drove. If not tak sempat. But it was all in vain. Class started at 9am. haih. After class went for PKV then go makan then sister came to pick me up at 3pm. Them went to Midvalley. The parking was crazy. Had to go round for half an hour just to find parking. Anyway, finally also we got one la. Then shop shop shop..or rather walk walk walk until 9pm then balik and reach home at 9.30pm. Sooo tired after that. Went to bed at midnight.

That was how my week was. Eventful.

Happiness :)

2006-12-18T19:11:00.000+08:00

I bought a new Agatha Christia book..haha. Yes that IS happiness for me. After such a long time, I finally bought another of her books. My collection is growing slowly but surely. Books in Malaysia are quite pricey so I actually buy books only when there is a sale..but today I really cannot tahan already la. So I decided to treat myself to a book for Christmas. (Point to note for those who might want to get me a gift and are clueless: Books are always welcomed!LOL)

Today I walked around The Curve until I must have looked suspicious to the security guard. Actually, I accompanied my sister on an errand that she had over there. Mana tau it took 2.5 hours. Imagine. I think I walked in and out of Borders like 3 times. Then I finally decided to go in there and sit and read my book. But before that had to go buy a pack of Fisherman's Friend coz I was coughing like mad. Still am. Speaking of the cough...couldn't sleep yesterday due to the cough. Kept on waking up coz my throat got dry due to me breating through my mouth. Wat to do..my nose was so blocked. Coughed until I couldn't stand it and woke up to drink a good spoonful of my cough mixture. After that, I coughed less and slept better.

But I digress...

After walking in The Curve, Ikano AND Ikea..my sister and I finally managed to accomplish something..buying a gift for baby Theo. Such a bright and shiny baby he is. Simply adorable. He's already 5 months old. How time flies. So anyway, my sister and I were supposed to get our Christmas shopping done but tak jadi. What we got done is our shopping list.LOL. We're so running out of time. A few more days to go shopping.argh.

So Christmas shopping was a disaster. But still not as stressful as driving back home. I tell you, some Malaysian drivers really got no manners. haih. Just cut in without even the courtesy to put on their indicators. My sister also another one la. Almost gave me a heart attack. Nearing the toll plaza. One hand on the stearing wheel, the other meddling with the Smart Tag, one eye on the road, the other eye looking at how much balance left on her Touch and Go. Talk about multi-tasking la. Anyway, we reached home in one piece. Thank GOD.

Random thought #1: I realise I only blog when I have absolutely nothing to do. It's like the last thing I do when I'm bored. So the more I blog, the more nothing I have to do, ( I hope that makes sense), which isn't really good, no?

Random thought #2: Hace mucho tiempo que yo no hablo en espanol y quiero Mireya ser mi profesora para el semestre proximo. Pero no es posible. Agreed, Anny? jaja. Okay, I think that unless you are Annie or JC you will not understand what I'm talking about :P

EU-GIN TAGGED ME!!

2006-12-15T19:30:00.000+08:00

I was just browsing through Eu-Gin's blog then I came across this thing. Then I saw that i had been tagged...lol. Anyway, i shall just be a good sport and do it(since Chenli and Shuang have done it too). Have fun reading it!
Here goes:

These are the rules of the tag:

* The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points about his/her perfect lover.

* Have to mention the gender of his/her perfect lover.

* Tag eight other victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog.

* If you are tagged the second time.There is NO need to do this again.

* Lastly, most importantly, HAVE FUN DOING IT.

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

Okay, firstly i agree with ChenLi that 'lover' sounds, well, too 'lover'-ish.So like her, i shall use the term 'significant other'.

Gender: Male la, of course..

1. Must be a Christian that has a good relationship with God. Knows the bible well. Someone that i am able to discuss(and not argue) with about stuff..bible stuff.

2. Able to accept me for the person I am: clumsy, talkative, shy, gila, stubborn, defensive, opinionated (I hope none of these traits that i have used to describe my self with will shock any of my frens).

3. Should be able to mingle with my family. Family is important to me.

4. I don't deem outer appearences as of utmost importance. Read: He doesn't need to be insanely good-looking la. As long as it is enough to catch my attention that's all.

5. Oh and he should have a good personality la. Must be a gentleman. The type that will offer help to carry your stuff and open doors for others. A person that listens.

6. A good driver?..haha. Sounds crazy but i cannot tahan ppl who drive recklessly. And i mean reackless by my definition..not theirs.

7. Someone that i can talk to freely. Someone that i can voice my honest opinion to. And when i do, that he may feel comfortable enough to correct me if i am wrong. I don't want a 'yes-man', ie a person that just agrees to everything that you say.

8. Not a spendthrift..meaning not boros. Careful with money but not to the point of kiamsiap. Spends money wisely, a good steward of God's money.

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

Okay so that is all that i could squeeze out from my brain..There are more criterias that i know i look for but right now, these are the 8 that i could come up with.

Oh and I am not gonna tag anyone else, so all of you can breathe easy now.

RESULTS ARE OUT!!

2006-12-14T16:31:00.000+08:00

I got a B for TITAS!!..Yay! hahahaha. Wondering how i can be happy with a B for titas? simple. I didn't study for this subject until like 2 weeks before the exam and also, i just don't like Titas. Believe me. This is one boring, repetitive, brainwashing subject that is COMPULSORY for all uni students. Overall, i did quite well la. I thank God for everything.

Now that that is settled, I have to finalise the subjects that i will be taking for next sem and also to sort out my timetable. Its going to be one super busy semester for me. With 17 credit hours to complete plus the 1 ch that I didnt use last semester...haih.

2006-12-13T11:52:00.000+08:00

Well,the Penang Bible Camp is now over. I had a wonderful week in camp, although sometimes it was very stress..Especially during the dorm clean-up and also the memory verses. Liao, the first day's verses was like gila long and sommore i didnt really have time to memorise..And being a first timer, i didnt know that we will be randomly tested at anytime...As for the dorm clean-up, thinking of how to decorate our dorm was though. Plus making sure that the sink was dry, that not a single strand of hair was found on the floor, no creases on the sheets..phew, all that was though but it all added to my experience in camp. Got to know many other ppl, as well as meeting up with old friends. Know wat, i woke up as early as 5.30 am to shower in the morning. If not, i won't have time later coz the bathroom will be packed. I was surprised that i could get up that early just to shower..LOL. Anyway, i learnt a lot from the sessions as well. Eventhough i joined the junior section, i still did learn. In the junior section, we did Putting God FIRST.
F-financial
I-interests
R-relationships
S-speech
T-time
Very practical lessons for everyone.

Also, during camp there was a break-in into the girls' dorms. The thief stole the handphones and wallets that he could find. How did this happen? you might ask. Well, the thief climbed up to the 2nd floor through the drain pipe. Sommore the girls didnt lock the dorm doors. Jackpot for the thief la. Why didnt we lock the dorm doors? Well bcoz the girls like to go in go out go toilet go friends dorm etc so they didnt lock the doors coz they dunno if their fren balik already anot. lol. Yup, and no one noticed or heard anything coz the were worn out due to the War Games the night before. I myself didn't hear a sound when the thief was in my dorm. ish..

Oh and my group Vigilance won the competition thingy that was going on in camp. lol. You know wat? My group made me play the piano for 2 meetings. I almost died. I have never played for anything before, not even in church and they asked me to play. Well, i complied anyway. Just hounded the chairperson for their songs and practised a lot and prayed to God to stop my hands from shaking. And it went better that i thought it would. Thank God. For the last nite pulak i kena tarik with 3 other girls to act as seductresses. Wah piang..all the dance steps that Zachary teach so very the hiau and so dificult to do. So we improvised. lol. Our group's theme was western+bollywood. haha. Go figure. But we did it anyway. The 4 of us had to make 'saries' out of bedsheets. Susah i tell you. Almost suffocated..

Anyway, the camp ended on Saturday but i stayed on till Sunday. I decided to follow the SAGC ppl back to Klang coz my bus was 12 am from Penang which meant that I would reach Klang at 4-5am. We stayed in Uncle Edward's condo in Batu Feringghi..just nearby CCC. Had lotsa fun with all those jokers while we went out for dinner, to Gurney Plaza then to eat pancakes.Wah laugh until stomachache man, i tell you. On Sunday morning we all went to Sungai Nibong Gospel Hall for Breaking of Bread service. Then we went to makan lunch in a restaurant. I think we had 8 dishes or something like that. We ate until we almost burst in the seams. Then we went for asam laksa and char kuey teow in another place. Crazy or wat?..haha. Afetr that, we finally went home.
Left Penang at about 3.30pm and reached home around 8+pm. Then went out dinner with parents and Uncle Dexter's family since he fetched me HOME. Then came back mandi then tidur.

After everything has been said and done, I had a really good time at the PBC. I shall treasure all the memories that i gained from it :D

2006-10-13T17:31:00.000+08:00

NO. I have not fallen off the face of the earth....yet. I have however been super lazy to blog. You know whenever I come back during the weekends, my time just flies. Dunno where it goes. So for all those of you who have been checking on my blog to see if I have been blogging, sorry and thanks.

Well, nowadays I have been busy in uni as well. Semester exams are around the corner and in the coming week I will be have many tests and oral exams. 2 written tests (spanish and semantics) and 4 oral exams-one Dutch and 3 Spanish. Mati-lah. Dunno how to cope. And still ther's TITAS. I haven't studied for it and there's like 13 chapters of nonsence. Well for those who are not in the know, TITAS is actually like sejarah F5 and also a little of kenegaraan from PA,which makes it unnecessary. Like what's the point of re-learning the things that you had to learn in school? Just a waste of resources and time. NO WONDER OUR RANKINGS DROPPED. Seriously I wasnt surprised that we dropped. My faculty, for example is quite well known but just because we are few in numbers and in a far corner of UM that doesnt mean that we should be overlooked. Just like wat my roomate says, "FBL has 2 blocks, one old and the other new, but the new block looks old and the old block, older." And that's true, sadly. I feel as though we are just being forgotten my the uni. Other faculties have really nice buildings and facilities.But us?..Yes I know I am complaining a lot but I feel that more can be done for us. *sigh*

Anyway as I was saying, sem exams are near.I've got 5 papers and they're really widely spaced.

4.11.06 - TITAS
8.11.06 - Pengantar Linguistic
13.11.06 - Dutch
17.11.06 - Spanish Proficiency 1
20.11.06 - Spanish Proficiency 2

See?..Then I will have a month of holidays before the 2nd semester starts on the 26TH OF DECEMBER!! Can you believe it? I start class a day after Christmas. Pity those who are from outstation coz the will have to come back a day earlier to settle down. Imagining celebrating Christmas in Nineth College?..haih.

Wah, one semester just flew away without me realising it. I now believe it when my seniors tell me that our 3 years in uni will just fly past us. Its so fast that its scary. It only seemed like yesterday that i sat for my STPM. Now I will be sitting for my sem1 exams, then sem2 exams then I will be a 2nd year student. LOL. Really can't believe it loh. Before i know it i will be graduating. Can't imagine it man. haha.

Well, that's all for now :)

UM, Orientation, Spanish and Ama

2006-07-22T11:46:00.000+08:00

Fuh..these 3 weeks have definitely been a whirlwind. Had so many things going on. As many of you know I have started uni already.

>>COPA IBA
Like Bel said in her blog.."Copa Iba came and went"...Yup and I agree with her..It just came and went like a bullet train. Didn't even have time to let it sink in.LOL.

>>UM
Registration was the day right after COPA IBA and so I was tired and brown on the day I registered for uni. FYI, I live in the residential college that's outside campus. Yes OUTSIDE. Well, its not that bad for me coz my faculty is actually near my college, but pity the other students whose faculties are not as near.

>>ORIENTATION
Yes, yes all the rumours that we freshies get only 2 hours of sleep a day is true. Like seriously. We are allowed to go to bed at maybe 2.30 am then we have to wake up at 5 am and be in the hall by 5.30 am. Those who are late will be punished. Punished how? Well in my case (I was late to get to the hall on the first morning by a few minutes), we were made to do 30 ketuk-ketampi's. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but try doing it when you've only had 2 hours of sleep and you are also physically tired. They shout at you, they shout at you and they shout at you. Seems to be their favourite past-time. Anyway. I can't really remember all the details of that whole week coz of all the lack of sleep but I can give you a brief outline on wat it was like. We did a lot of sitting down in our sels(basically its our group) in the hall where there were 500++ ppl, with no fans switched on. Walked a lot to the DTC for various ceramahs. And there is this competition whre they see which colleges cheers are the loudest and the best. So we have to shout out all our cheers and try to be able to be heard. Lots of ppl developed sore throats and coughs due to the strain on our voices. Anyway, after the ceramahs officially start the cheers will stop and that is when we get our sleep. The DTC is a good place to fall asleep. That's a very sketchy description of our schedule during orientation week.

>>SPANISH
Okay so after orientation and all classes finally started. And for those who still dunno, I'm majoring in the spanish language. And so I go to class and my first lecturer is from Columbia and she tries speaking Spanish to us only to get blank stares.haha..So she speaks english and starts teaching us the basic stuff like days of the week, months, colours and some very very basic grammar. I also have 2 other lecturers: one is from Spain and the other is Malay. Anyway, I start to realise as I learn more Spanish that it isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Spanish really has a lot of grammar. Initially I couldn't get and kept on making mistakes in my grammar excersises. So I had to study my Grammar every night and finally now, Thank God I am starting to get a hang of it. Also learning vocabulary in class. You ppl should one of my books. It is like a kindergarten book. Seriously. There are pictures with blanks and we have to fill the up...haha. So funny. But I am enjoying myself. Oh and did I mention that my class has only 3 people? haha. (Actually there were 4 of us but one of us decided that she wanted to do law after all so she quit UM)

>>AMA
My grandma is not well at all. She semi-concious most of the time and she has a feeding tube through her nose and she's lying down on the bed 24/7 and sometimes when you call she hasn't got any response. So worried. :(

Okay that is all for now. Adios!

I am finally going to university!

2006-06-19T17:44:00.000+08:00

Yup its true. I am finally going to UM to do Linguistics. Finally after all the waiting, the reply came :)
I found out about the results when i was in JJ yesterday watching Cars with Fitri, Juli, Joanna and Ivy...haha. Kim Eng messaged me telling me her results when I was in the midst of watching Cars. But I had to tahan from finding out until the movie ended coz I dun want to distract the others(my hp light is very bright). So I finished Cars, which btw, was quite nice, then I went out and then I told them that my uni results were out. Wah so kan cheong man..haha. Anyway, I asked Ai Hoi(who is working in JJ) whether she got hers already then she said yes. So I also faster faster go sms the UPU hotline and then TADAAA..got my results in 2 minutes. So I read my message and it went "TAHNIAH...." haha so happy until I almost scream in the shop. And we were all happy together :)

Yay!! BSF holiday starts today!!

2006-05-23T22:45:00.000+08:00

Yup..BSF holidays start today and will be on for 3 weeks. Next class is on the 20th of June. For those who dunno,BSF stands for Bible Study Fellowship. My BSF class is the Klang Evening Women and we are in our pilot year, meaning this is our first year.

I really like attending our discussion groups-listening to the other ladies' answer to the questions. Really insightful. Oh..but BSF is not all fun..there's HOMEWORK to do!! Yes, homework. We are given questions to do daily as our quiet time material and boy..those question can really be mind boggling..haha. Must read the questions at least 2 times to get the meaning and also what they want to ask. Although all the ladies in my group are much older than I am(except Bel), I find that I can still fit in well. Maybe its because they don't hold any barriers and act like we are all equal, all of us came to learn and seniority does not matter. THAT'S what I like. Equality. Everyone listens to everyone and does not impose or say that your answer is wrong. Instead, if the answers given are different from the main/common stream of thought, maybe God has revealed Himself to that person in another way and her sharing is a way God speaks to us. :)

After our discussion, we have the lecture. I find that the lecture is to-the-point and does not beat around the bush. The lecturer, Su-Wen is really a gifted speaker. I really enjoy listening to her.

All-in-all I really like attending BSF..haha. Never thought that I would say this. I hope that I will be able to continue in the Klang BSF even after uni starts. If I am unable to make it home, then I might join another BSF group. But now, its holiday time and a nice break from the questions that never fail to stump me!!

OA Ministry

2006-05-20T22:09:00.000+08:00

Its time to go to OA again!..haha. Actually I am having mixed feelings. I kinda dont feel like going but then when I go, i really enjoy myself there. Before I go, i dread having to prepare the SS lesson-either the story or the memory verse). But when I'm there, i really enjoy teaching them,although they really cannot sit still. LOL.

Anyway, every time we go OA, Uncle Peter will stop at Bidor for breakfast and we will eat either chee cheong fun of wantan mee.YUMMY! Then we will but some breakfast for afetr breaking of bread breakfast in church. Then for lunch its either wantan mee or ais kacang and rojak. Really nice and the stall serves relly huge bowls of ais kacang. It takes 2 of us to finish one regular sized bowl. Oh and did I mention that Uncle Peter always belanja's us?..Yup he does. Every meal. Every time. So nice of him. =P

Okay la better go and prepare for tomorrow :)

Still Waiting....

2006-05-18T11:58:00.000+08:00

You know, its been 6 months since I left school. And it also has been 6 months that I have been doing totally nothing everyday(except maybe some chores for my mum). Haih. At first I was waiting for my STPM results. Then now, I'm waiting for my uni application results to come out. This means that I have been waiting for 6 months to know what my next step will be, education wise. Man, the ministry of higher education should really do something abt this. Students have to wait for too long to get their university placements. Its really a waste of time. Maybe I feel it more than others coz I didn't work(not bcoz i dun want to but because i cant), but still the government should speed up the process so that students will not be left in the dark until the very last minute. Take myself for example. I don't know if I will get a place in Uni for the courses I applied for until what, the end of June? What if I dont get a place? It will be too late for my to apply to enter private uni's coz they have already started in the month of May. Why cant i just apply and register, then if i get a place in Uni i can juat ask for refund? Of course I can do that, only that i wll lose 30% of the fees that i pay. Crazy ah? haha. Oh and that's not all. I will still have to find for accomodation,buy the books and etc..So this is not a good plan.
Ok enough of whning from me..haha
So what is my plan? Well i actually did get an offer letter from UTAR but i decided against it. I instead opted to WAIT till my uni placement results are out, which btw will be out by the last week of June, according to the website. So if I dont get a place in uni for the courses that i applied for, i will just go to TARC and enter in the July intake. So until then, its more WAITING for me...*sigh*

My Interview

2006-05-03T16:30:00.000+08:00

My interview went well, I think. I was interviewed by a really nice lady who spoke perfect English. That made me nervous, you know in case any of my pasar engrish escaped.haha. Must make a good first impression mah. Anyway, she asked me a number of questions like:

-So, where are you from?
-Did you travel far to get here?
-So why did you choose the Spanish language?
-What do you know about the Spanish language?
-Do you know any spanish phrases or words?
-What do you plan to do after you finish?
-Do you read?
-Do you like reading?
-What type of books do you read?
-What do you speak at home?
-Any problems with travelling?
-What school activities did you join in?
-Did you hold any posts?

That's about all that I can recall. So it wasnt such a nerve wrecking experience. I answered the questions as well as I could and then left after it was all over. What a big realief!!

Random Jottings

2006-04-07T14:18:00.000+08:00

1. I want to have a conversation (about anything) with ppl who are mature in thinking and maybe a little intellectual. I kinda miss having these kind of conversations with my frens like when i was in school. We would talk about biology, chemistry etc and also about tv, our lives, politics without holding grudges and barriers. Its very mind-stimulating. I also miss discussing abt bible stuff with my GLO frens..haha. Although at that time i might not have enjoyed it, i'm missing it now. I guess all the time i'm spending at home doing nothing is taking a toll on me and also due to the lack of ppl withing my age group that i can speak freely with. At this moment i only have the ppl in church but most of them are younger than i am and our thinking is not the same, if i can put it that way.*sigh* Thank God i still have Bel.

2. I'm having mixed emotions abt going to uni. I know most ppl my age have already started; some of them even overseas..haha. Anyway,i feel a little apprehensive, scared and also excited..haha. Can't wait to open another chapter in my life but...LOL dunno how to describe la.

3. Ok i'm through with ppl asking me abt my results and abt my uni and which one and wat course. I know ppl might(or might not) be concerned abt it but...arrgghhh. I cannot stand anymore questions. Sometimes i feel like holding a signboard with all these info on it. haha. I know i'm being mean but just excuse me.

That's all the random jottings i have for now! :)

STPM results are OUT!!

2006-03-16T14:55:00.000+08:00

Yup..today was THE day. I wasn't nervous or anything la coz to me, "Nasi sudah jadi bubur". No point worrying about something that has passed. But anyway, i did better than I expected la. Didn't fail my maths haha thank GOD. So, all i have left to do now is to apply for my uni and wait for the reply. Went to school early to take the results and i quickly left..haha. But i am very satisfied with wat i got. Not announcing it here, so if you really wanna know you have to ask me..hehe.
I am feeling really tired now. I was out the whole day sommore the weather is soooo hot.Pening.
So i have now fulfilled my promise to blog after my results are out. Can't think of anything else to write coz my head is spinning and its SO hot!!

I'm soo lazy la..

2006-02-11T01:14:00.000+08:00

Well..its been 2 months after my STPM and i still have not wrote anything here."Why?" you might ask, well its simply because I'm lazy. So anyway, since ppl have been asking me to update my blog, here I am doing it. Life has been quite good after my exams. No more stress and tuition and stuff like that la. So anyway, after my exams, I went over to Singapore to visit my cousin and to do some shopping.haha. Fter i came back from Singapore the week after that I went for the BUC sports camp, which by the way was a blast(eventhough i couldn't stay for FUAGNEM). Well if i did stay for FUAGNEM, i would have even more fun.As John says..Dun waste fun!! So after that i was busy with Christmas and all: practises of our christmas play. The play turned out well thank GOD. The had been practising for 2 months for the play and I must say it was good. Then came the end of year 2005. Then i went away to GLO Taiping. I was ok there. REally had a lot of work to do there. Duties, assignments, preparations for chapel class and practical ministry...But I got to know a fabulous bunch of frens there.

Anyway, I have just been browsing through scholarships and courses and universities...now my head really aching la.I have pretty much decided wat i wanna do: its either chemistry or linguistics. I cant decide between those two so I will see wat happens la..Also will need to see how my results are. Speaking of results..they should be out soon, i think..man, I'm getting nervous. Dunno how it will be coz the exam was really tough this year...haih.

Well, this is all I have to say for now. The next time i write something here might be after my results or later..hehe =P

I know, I know

2005-08-23T16:03:00.000+08:00

Yes, I do know that it's been a long long long time since I've blogged and I don't think I will be blogging until my STPM ends. So until then..TATA!!..

After a long long time...

2005-05-21T13:07:00.000+08:00

haha..Well its about time I wrote something here. Lately I've been malas to do anything and everything. Exams are here but I am not really prepared for them though. I have come to realise that it aint nice getting your test paper, opening it and realising that you dunno how to answer the question...haha...Yup, thats how it has been for me...I am lazy and I know it, yet I dont feel like moving a muscle in my body..haaha...THAT'S ALL OVER. I will now have to make a concious effort to study and revise..Well, enough about studies...

Nowadays I've been really missing going to YF. Well, I have not and will not be able to go for YF until my STPM is over due to my maths extra classes on Saturday which I cannot ponteng because my sir teaches paper 2 on Saturdays. I miss singing, chatting, playing captainball with everyone...haih..Anyway, lately I have been observing myself...I have noticed that I have many characteristics of a 'Sunday morning Christian'...You know that type that just go to church then at home dont read bible...Well thats kinda like what I am now. Sad, rite??...Pray for me lah..It isnt easy especially nowadays, for me...Tired after school, tuition, church...

OKlah gotta go...Next time I'll write sommore...

2005-03-27T23:13:00.000+08:00

Just came back from my church's easter evangelistic meeting. I was good. It made my day. Great turnout, great food, great music. But that wasn't what that made my day. Something that was presented did. It was a few scenes from "The Passion" that did. A picture of Jesus' suffering as HE was nailed to the cross. The cruelty of the Roman soldiers versus the forgiveness of Jesus. I couldn't control the tears that were starting to well up in my eyes. Began to cry like a baby. I don't care if people think I'm weak for crying, I just could not express my gratitude for my LORD in any other way but that.

THANK YOU JESUS!!

But isn't it funny that christmas receives more publicity that easter eventhough the resurrection of Jesus is the strongest pillar of our faith and belief? As the speaker said to day, there is only a short mention of the birth of Jesus in the gospels and that beyong the gospels you wouldn't be able to find much said about the birth of Jesus. But what you will read mostly about is of the death and resurrection of Jesus. And yet, chritmas receives more publicity. Ironic isn't it?

JESUS IS ALIVE!!

2005-03-25T22:29:00.000+08:00

Aaahh...It's Easter again. Man, am I glad to have easter because I can celebrate the death and the resurrection of my Jesus. Nothing/ No one can ever do for me what he did. He's my Saviour and Lord.

Am I to believe…
that a God would give His Son?
am I to believe…
that the world was bought with love?
am I to believe…
that a stranger died for me?
am I to believe…
that a Saviour set me free?

‘Cause I have felt the cold rain…
run down my face
I’ve seen the sun rise up…
as the night turns to day
I’ve heard the laughter…
as the children play
but above all…
I just live to say that…

Yeah, oh yeah
I believe in the God of love
yeah, oh yeah
I believe in the risen son

am I to believe…
that the sick shall overcome?
am I to believe…
that my freedom has been won?

I believe in You…

Am I To Believe?

Finally...

2005-03-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

Yup...finally. I've handed-in my bio project. One big burden off my shoulders. Now, its time to STUDY!!..I never thought that I would say this but...oh, well as I've said before, there's a first for everything. I have 2-and-a-half months to prepare for my mid terms. Man, I hope I do well. Still stressed up but today I had a good time playing Captain Ball with my church people and the KGH youth. I really enjoy fellowship-ing with my churchmates. Now, our youth hall finally got the keyboard after so long. I hope this is will help us out. Lalalalalalala...

Hazel's new address..

2005-02-19T14:30:00.000+08:00

It's official. I have a new address.It's

Hazel Ng
Tuition Centres in Klang
Anywhere, Anytime
Not at HOME.

Yup..this is my life nowadays.Non-stop tuition classes besides school and church activities. I fell like pengsan-ing already. I have tuition classes on every day expt Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. But that's not all. Every last Sunday of the month I have an extra Chemistry class. And that is still NOT ALL! I have double tuition on thursdays and Fridays!!!...haih..

I need time to study but I can't seem to find the time. This is the first time in my life that I really want and need to study to catch up on my studies BUT can't seem to find the TIME!!It's really frustrating. I just sat for a test in Chem tuition class and I didnt know how to answer them! Chemistry ia a crazy subject and I have to know so many many things...but I dont know them! Sometimes I just fel like breaking down because I cant stand the pressure and the fatigue. I'm tired almost everyday, lack of sleep(like the other ppl in my class) and have loads of homework to finish up!..What's more, I need to hand in my Biology project at the end of this month! I have a gazillion things to do and I dont know if I can do them!

I prayed to God for alot alot alot of strength and energy and courage for me to continue. I will be sooo glad when I finish my exams at the end of the year. But for now, I guess I have to tabah menghadapi cabaran hidup...

CNY

2005-02-19T14:22:00.001+08:00

Well..CNY was nice..especially the school break. Enjoyed the reunioun dinner at my akong's house-though it felt rather quiet and not enough noise. Oh well, many of my cousins are overseas. Anyways, I did have a graet time playing with my cousins kids-Sean and Ryan. Sean's so cute!!...AND he can recite the stops of the MRT together with the announcements!!..He goes "Tanah Merah Inter-Change. Passengers going to Changi and Expo bla bla bla please alight at the next station"...And Ryan is sooo adorable!..Nice fat fat cheeks..dreamy eyes...and always drooling..Can't blame him..He's a baby..hehe...

Now it's back to school...

SCHOOL, SCHOOL and more about SCHOOL

2005-01-28T22:19:00.000+08:00

Yes...it's true..I've got school tmr, eventhough its a SATURDAY!! Usual schooling hours sommore. WHY?? Coz we had the day off on Monday, so its time to ganti balik. ARGHHHHHH....dun wanna go to school tmr ler..It's so unnatural. Can't get up late sommore. Ok enough about that. Well, something happened today in my life. I was late for school for the first time in my life! Never happened to before. Not even when I was in MGS. Oh well, I guess it's just like how the saying goes, "there's a first time for everything". Anyways, I'm starting to feel the pressure to start studying seriously. Well some of you might just know that I'm like the most cool person when it comes to studies..Never worry until the last minute and then only start to panic. That is really bad for STPM. Don't think I will be able to use my usual MO(modus operandi) this time round. Might as well not sit for the exam if I do that. sigh

A week in my life..

2005-01-13T21:28:00.000+08:00

This past week has been particularly busy for me. Doing my school homework, updating my school files,etc. Well, the highlight for last week was Lorna+Graeme;s wedding. Can't believe she's married already. Seems to me that all my Church friends are either getting married, moving away or studying overseas! Haih..time really flies, huh? Anyway, Lorna looked great that day. And since my sister was her bridesmaid, she had makeup on for maybe the first time in her life..haha..Then we went for the dinner in the evening. As usual lah..wedding dinners don't start on time. I felt like the acid in my stomach was gonna burn a hole and my insides will come oozing out..That's how hungry I was!! Good thing got papadam to eat or else I think I would just die of starvation. Finally when the dinner vame, Finished the while thing in about 20 minutes, then after that go to the other table and chit-chat. Well, Graeme was dressed in Indian traditional wear and he had on the indian shoes..looked so funny..but nice..Went back tired. The next morning went to OA. Came back in the evening exhausted. Didn't go for gospel meeting that night. Then it was Monday all over again..haih..BUSY,BUSY,BUSY..

2005-01-05T19:22:00.000+08:00

Although school has re-opened for just 3 days, I have already missed one day of school. Ponteng? I wish!..No actually I'm down with the flu. Got the whole package:fever, blocked nose and cough. Well, I'm sure I'll be ok soon. Can't afford to be sick. There are sooooo many things to do this year. So, what's my aim for this year?
Ok, here goes..

HAZEL'S AIMS FOR 2005

1) Achieve better results in my tests+exams.
2) Finish my homework.
3) Be more consistant in my walk with God.
4) Practice my math.

There you have it. My aims for this year. I know its gonna really, really difficult for me to achieve it, but I gotta push myself harder so that I can at least get a reasonable CGPA in my tests+exams and ultimately in STPM. It's gonna be one long, tough and tiresome year. So, please remember in your prayers, ya!

It's a new year...

2005-01-03T14:35:00.000+08:00

Well, since it's a new year, so I decided to do something new...and this is IT...Anyways, a blessed new year to everyone!
