1312 的 U-Turn

既然选择了不放手,那么就认真的往前走吧!
那些不安、犹豫等;就慢慢的一起去面对。
其实,我很开心。

进退两难,选择后者,可以吗?

The footprints are dated back to ages ago,
yet it has never been deciphered.
Things are some what clear yet a bit queer,
the prints are here, there ... every where.
And now,
it has finally begun to snow,
the tracks are covered and slowly buried by piles of seeping coldness.
Alas, they will be frozen forever, for good.
You wanna bet that there comes a day for them to thaw?
Place your bets, darling.
Take a gamble,
but try not to lose what you already had in your grasp,
for its a matter between staying put and letting it go.
Secure it with a choice you make.

三头六面

有时候在想,事情是否该三头六面讲清楚。这些日子以来的不停赶工,仿佛不值似的。我不相信on-time这样东西,因为事情会on-time的指数往往很低。当你一心一意照着计划去日夜的赶工,最后的结果还是continue to drag on,那种感觉真的很显。其实groupwork这种东西当然需要很多配合与妥协,因为只要有人的地方;就必然有纷争。两个星期前开始的缝纫与刺绣,不但眼睛伤神,还消耗了我的weekend的悠闲。后来计划的改变,只要是好的,我一定跟着计划中预定的时间把东西完成。因为那句:on-time。后来,另一个weekend又花在researching,designing,drawing 与coloring。每一张图案都是我的心血,后来就这样占上水滴;说真的,真不甘心。细细的缝纫,然后裹好的笔形doorgift最终也退色了,原因无它;被水滴弄湿了。就这样吗?这些东西就这么而已?那我又是为了什么而费神?湿了就湿了?那我的书呢。前后都湿透了,只换来一句:我们也不想的!!Please,我可以说是个似书如命的人,是否可以顾虑一下我当时的心情?气愤的是东西永远不会on-time,心血就这样浸湿了,original copy的书也不过如此而已。

Pantang!

If there's one thing that I would very much, it would definitely be my books.
All along, I indulge in reading; books are something very precious to me.
I used to argue with ex-secondary school teachers for holding a makan-makan at the library;
I used to stay 5 hours at the library to patch-up torn pages;
I used to arrange and re-arrange my books collection just to admire them again and again;
I enjoyed the ambience at Kinokuniya and MPH,
to be surrounded by books are a bliss!
It was a very big "pantang" for me if any books of mine are damp and wet;
No moisture should be found on any of my books,
for I treat all my books with much care and affection.
Every year, I spent lavishly on books,
especially original hard copies,
I do not ask for more if I lend anyone my books,
just treat em' with care and responsibility.
For one,
I do not expect a damp book to be returned to me in the end,
with water droplets and wet pages...
this is absolutely unacceptable to a book-lover like me!

It has been a tiring week,
non-stop sewing, embroidery and stitching,
my eyes are strained.
It was most disappointing;
when my artworks (of hours of designing and coloring),
are being wet by water puddles on the table.
Though the pictures are scanned,
it is still, my original piece of artwork,
purely hand-drawn.
The craft that I spent hours of fixing too,
suffered the same fate.
The anger, the disappointment and the sadness....
"Irrespeakeable".
No one understands,
But myself.

感触


你是一个不同的存在,对此你懂我也晓得。你不会只是普通朋友。
那些让我开心,小气,扁嘴等的谈话,我高兴你陪我度过许多疯狂。
我的任性不是每人都看见,对于大家我始终是个女强人。
我的淘气你是清楚的,当你的小公主其实我也乐意的很。
漫长的假日或许是个考验,对方见不着彼此。
不能去湖边兜风,不能一起吃晚餐。
起码每天的闲聊渐渐成了我们相处的模式。
我不想我们的话题减少或是疏远了,
因为我知道我是在意你的。
很多事情彼此不会去讲明,
但是那些暗示总算明白的。
其实,我想你了。

感触,多事之秋

近来身边朋友算是多事之秋,
不愉快的...矛盾的...搞忧郁的...神经质的
(p/s:神经的是我啦)...
什么pattern都有,
周遭的气氛都不怎么欢乐与和谐。
本小姐的神经质庆幸的是有某鱼肯陪我疯狂,解忧
可其他朋友的情况似乎都不太理想。
有些事情外人不可介入批评,
有些则是只能当一个令听者,不便给与意见,
有的完全最好不要过问,因为知道的越多反而事情变得大条了。
本小姐最近都做了一些疯狂的举动,
当然也感动感激某鱼的陪伴,
看着朋友被低气压围绕,
而自己却有如此曙伴,
感触都涌入心坎里去了。
在此我只能说:
感谢那些真心疼我,爱我的家人朋友,
你们的不离不弃,
你们的加油打气,
你们无私的大爱,
让我觉得自己是幸福的!

P/S:某鱼,辛苦你了。我真的是个小妹妹。你所谓的“little girl ”。谢谢你。

3-in-1 Major Updates!!

Homecoming Celebrations

This is one hell of a crazy semester for me, everything seems to rush-by and my pit-stops here and there are no longer on-tab anymore. The recent Homecoming Celebrations definitely has taken a toll on me, leaving me stress-up and upset at Ms Sum, tired due to 4 events combined into 1 day and I am the organizing chair pulak~ At the same time, I am glad for everyone who has stand by me all the while and shall I think that I might have found a certain someone that I want to cherish? Well, who knows? Laughs~







~988 crew at the carnival~


















Dissapointed in the carnival at the day time, (obviously...and no thanks to Ms Sum) but still I like the Hawaiian Garden Dinner very much. The ambience is totally romantic and hawaiian, performances are above the par and the decorations are definitely comparable to those of 4-5 stars hotels'.Potted plants, floating candles, hand-woven grasshoppers and plenty of coconut leaves... Its just so touching!




I would only like to express 2 things on my mind about this event:


1. Thank you to my fellow hawaiian-committee members whom stood by me and put so much of effort into making this event into a success. I deeply appreciates your sacrifices, very much.


2. Ms Sum, you are just so over and full with yourself sometimes. There is no what-so-ever "miscommunication", I am just following your "insane orders which are so full with sudden, major and stupid changes." My fellow committees and I had enough of you and any events from you after this, no thanks, no one will join you, ever.





Japanese meal at Shinjuku




The night before my first paper (currently undergoing final examinations), went out to dinner with Yauyau, Jojo and Winnie. And so we decided to set foot at Shinjuku (not the real Japan punya Shinjuku district la), and discovered some ok-japanese food to our delight. At least still above average la (for Kampar standards, lol!) The funny thing is, after dinner we sat for another 2 hours or so just to Cho Dai Di... swt, one day before the exam we all seems like totally forgotten bout what's coming ahead.




Me and my Chiki-chiki Katsu Don, whole set only cost RM14.90.



Tamago, a dish that Winnie like but definitely not my favourite.


The aftermath.




UTAR's new Block Opening


We are so awed by the new blocks FGH, I think. Its totally un-UTAR-like, one look like shopping complex block while the other look just like some luxury apartments in some nice hotels. There are even koi-fishes at the pond-like waterfront but I doubt how long the fishes will be there, since the last time I went and look there are pieces of plastic bag floating here and there.

To Teoh, a tragic loss

  • The tragic death of Teoh is indeed very nostalgic.
  • The news reporting and videos of his funeral is filled with grief and sadness.
  • The nation lost a young pillar, the father lost a son, the unborn child lost a dad ...
  • Where is the truth?

A moment of silence to Teoh, may you rest in peace.

Bitter.sweet


I suppose this is yet another mix-up post, haha. The continuous assignments seem to be putting my mood to update my bloggie off. Too much of online researching sort of makes me to feel "sien" upon facing my own blog, how ...queer. Aside from this fact, I suppose the happenings lately could be described as Bitter.sweet for me.
After I ditched my bicycle at Renu's place for a about a whole week, it decided to "mogok" when I go collect the ole' junk. The front tyre deflated while the back tyre punctured. Hell, it was quite funny if I am not seeping with desperation under the hot sun looking at this. I dropped a line to the bicycle shop and requested for repair service. Guess what, 15 minutes later, came a guy with such cool and cold looking expression that you thought: Uh-uh...definitely difficult to communicate and he gonna be very LanSi.
On the contrary, I found him to be one of the sweetest(& cute) guy I met today! He is in a hurry and supposingly he is on lunch break, but just because I need to use my bicycle urgently, he went and collect his tools after a brief check on my bike. When he return, for the second time, he went back to collect another tool to pump the tyres(the one he brought is faulty) after fixing the bike. To and fro, 3 trips he went just to service my ole' junk... and when he asked me, "You in a hurry? Can I fix it after an hour?" I was so tempted to just nod at him, but the heat of the hot sun pulled my rationale back. All-in-all, he is such a nice guy lor, fixing my bike and sacrificing his break! Hehe~~
*Bitter* *Sweet*
Few days back I had my Comm Theories presentation, it was an important and heavy presentation as it amounted to 20 marks in the finals. Despite all the journal readings in our written assignment, we need to decipher, interpret, analyze, comprehend... or whatever word you might want to use, to present another journal. And yes, this is yet another academic journal by another A-Mo, which means ... confusing and lots of vocab! To me, journal reading is something fun and challenging, especially when you detect the sarcastism from the author. I am worried for the fact that people is going to be confused and side-tracked during our presentation, therefore out comes V-vian's Super-Orang-Lidi-Flowchart!
The presentation marks is rather satisfying and Rachel told me that we couldn't ask for more. Well, ok la... Ms Mok said we did a good job, outlining the whole journal using a chart, defending our arguments, did our own research and discussions regarding the whole thing... For this we really sacrificed our sleep though! Pimples pun sudah keluar~~
*Bitter* *Sweet*
Nowadays I look like this in class. Bit MCC le... Looking very gong-gong...
With the Homecoming Celebrations preparations coming up, I felt like just doing some boxing or karate to vent out my feelings. Plans are constantly changing and unsure, please la ... How am I suppose to inform my committees like that?! Deep down, I really felt like telling this flat out to Ms Sum. Everyone is constantly asking me for confirmation, but the thing is every mail I opened it will always contain some unpleasant surprise. Well, Chairman ma.. what to do, have to bear and cope with it lo!
I am glad that this time, I working with committees whom all have very strong backgrounds - RCM Vice-chair and committees, Welcoming Concert Chair, Ex-SRC student reps, Business Week committees, committees from various clubs and societies. To this, I thank you. Thanks for your efforts.
Courtesy to Renu a.k.a Mangkuk a.k.a Darling a.k.a Siamang for taking the pictures (the cute-bike-repair-guy and my dumb dumb look in class.)

Torrent of Mix-up Feelings

It was really hair-raising for me lately.


My daily schedule evolves around :

"No sleep + assignments rush + Homecoming celebrations stuff + some other fickle probs"


The acnes mushroomed and though I am still young (looking very young too!) but my joints are sore and stiff all over without proper rest and proper meals. This semester is very, very hardcore for me. Sometimes I would ponder, whether I made the right decision in shouldering so many responsibilities at one go, especially the Homecoming Celebrations, which is a very mega event. But then again, this would be the last mega project that I organized before I go for internship, challenging it may be but at the same time, it is also a chance for me to be more exposed to real PR event managements.


Lately, a thought has been nagging me. Its a wonder how people change after just a short period of time because of some things or certain people. Yes, people do change everyday, continuosly, but I would have expected something better than you *yes, you. I hope you are reading this, and I wish you get my message.*


I used to value you much but recently it has been a disappointment. So called, lil bro; but there are numerous times that I couldn't even find you when I really really need to talk to you. The best part? My constant concerns are better off thrown into the sea or the bin (you pick..) rather than being ignored by you. Hey, do you think I give a sh*t about your well-being if you are not my bro? You think I got nothing else on my busy schedule but to send my concerns and care and then being ignored by you? Needless to say, you let me down.

打电话给你,你不接。MSN也没回应。传简讯更是没有消息。作为一个姐姐,我该做能做可以做的,我都已经做了。既然你选择无视这一切,我也无话可说。之前的主动现在离我很遥远。


Also, I don't like people doing things half-heartedly, especially if its your responsibility in the first place. So you are busy with assignments? Mid-terms? What about me? I have em' too and my assignments and workloads are even reaching a staggering height right now but I still put aside time to help out as much as possible for the Homecoming preparations. I am not saying that you did not do your job; but to do things half-heartedly it would be really demotivating. Ended up, we don't want to bother you anymore though we decided to redo the whole thing. And you know what, with 1 assignment deadline at 8am and 1 assignment draft to pass up the next day, I did not sleep at all the whole night just to help them in redoing the publicity materials, then carrying all those stuff to class with me the next day with bloodshot eyes like some big dumb-dumb.


Come on lar, maybe we really need to have a heart to heart talk soon, well if you got time to spare me la. I am really worn out with the progress of things at the moment and seriously, you need to be more sensitive.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is one thing that I am happy and proud of lately. Movie poster done using photoshop by me such a not-comp-savvy-person. Though there are many *ehem* flaws... but at least I can stand tall and proud and says that all the MM Tools assignments up until now are really 100% my own work (though the marks are not high), unlike some whom submitted their friends' works as their own. I can face my conscience, but can you?


Forlorn Faces: Who Took Their Smiles Away?

Starring: Angela Zhang, Emma Watson and Jane von Miler (?)

.:. My friend said the movie poster looked just like a typical local horror film poster. Should I be glad or not?

You left.

The news I don't dare to hear
Your death is what I fear
I hope you are still here
For we all love you so dear.
You left just like that
Though we want you so bad
I can't take the fact
It was a big impact.
The works that you leave behind
Will forever shine
For they are so divine
Messages for mankind.

Dear Yasmin,

I always love your ads and movies. They are always so insightful and meaningful. I smile, I laugh, I shake my head, I nod, I shed tears watching your masterpieces. Your courage and insights always motivates me to work hard, you are my inspiration as I hope to join LB someday. I hope the Lord hears my prayers, and may He bless your soul. I will miss you so much, and the values you have taught us all. I love you Yasmin, farewell.

A Prayer for Yasmin, Get Well Soon

  • It was most heart clenching for me upon surfing the Net and finding out that reknown film director, Yasmin Ahmad suffered a stroke and now lying in ICU. I am not going to babble to all about how great and how superb Yasmin's works are, but to those who really know how to appreciate the beauty of Yasmin's works all along, I am sure that Yasmin always touches that something in you, just like she did to me. All I am asking for is just a short moment of sincere prayer from you guys out there; let us all pray for Yasmin's speedy recovery and good health.
Yasmin, may you get well soon.

A Walk at the Park


On a fine morning, after being FFK by our dear lecturer who decided to cancel her 8am class at 7.59am, Rachel and me decided to go cycling and take a stroll in the park. It was a fine morning (well, cast aside the haze, the debris from the construction site, the toooooot encounter that we shouldn't have encounter and also the fact that we are here because we are being FFK-ed.)
Glorious morning, it was!
After aimless cycling from Jalan Suasa to Westlake then we decided to take a walk at the park, and WOW, what scenery they have! Lotus in ponds, clumps of sunflowers, bushes of birds of paradise and bamboo pathways... I am so in love with the park! (only if they maintain it ...)
Here are some of the pictures I took at the park, just excuse me for the lack of photography skills ... apart from that, I suppose the pictures are still decent enough for you to make out what I actually snap~~







It was a rather enjoyable morning exercise (omit certain images and the fact that we have another 8 supporting journals to digest within 24 hours...), I would very much like do this often and enjoy the crisp clean air in the morning.

Thick Skin, You F*ckers!

Its is already a visible culture that people always take things for granted, especially those who don't give a damn about their lessons and studies but always get jeolous and envy others' achievements; who don't even know you and never say hi to you in their lifetime but expects you to help them out when they can't handle their assignments. Tell me, who do you think you guys are?
I wouldn't have say I am a good student. I am just a normal uni student, with goals to achieve. I am not a genius who can really score well without studying or attending classes. The fact that I score better is just simply because the efforts I put in? The time I am willing to sacrifice? Just get in into your thick heads the fact that: I am not a know-it-all.
I wouldn't have mind explaining certain concepts or lessons to class/coursemates when they ask the right things at the right time. If you don't even know what you are asking and you don't even bother to check things up before you ask me a question, on a normal day and with a fine mood, I might still attend to you guys with a smile and patience. But to those whom I don't even know and they don't even bother to show their faces when they want to ask a question but merely sending out a representative over in the middle of the night to hammer down my door, I really felt like screaming this straight to their face : F*ck off!!
(sorry for the vulgarness...but I am really lack of sleep lately and the frustrations are getting to me.)
As I kept telling "my daughter"--Winnie all along, if only I start charging people who came and consult me for their assignments since year one semester one, I will so loaded with cash and I can even treat her to Sushi King every night (who needs delivery?). My closer friends even felt that that I am way over friendly and kind -- "You're not doing charity you know? You barely know those who came and consult you for assignments. What's in it for you?"
True. I don't mind helping people. But nowadays with the sudden surge in the take-for-granted culture, people are just so thick skin and the best( or for worst), I would say they went overboard with things.
  • I have people who nudge me a zillion times in MSN just to ask silly questions.
  • I have people who would non-stop call and sms to ask bout their assignments.
  • I have people stopping me along walkways, cafe ... to ask bout tutorial answers.
  • I have people hammering down my door to do consultation.
  • I have all sorts of people waiting in line to ask bout comm theories, crm proposals...etc
  • I even have people who thinks that I am obliged to help them out just because they know me or wave at me before?

Well, hello. Listen up, you have lots of assignments to do and journals to read? SO DO I.

Get the fact right.

If you say you are very desperate and really in a tight spot, let me share with you what's on my waiting-to-do-list:

  1. Meetings with PJ UTAR for Sept's Homecoming Celebrations
  2. Meetings with my fellow committee for Homecoming Celebrations
  3. Preparation for Anti Polystyrene Day before National's Day
  4. Preparation for W9's Community Service Society AGM

that's just few main ones with sub-meetings and events to crop up anytime aside from my own bunch of assignments and presentations.

Oh and by the way, I am chairman for 1 major event and 1 society mentioned above and the vice chairman for another event that is being mention above too. So, did you guys get the picture? Can you do your maths?

Understand that this is a university, we are all the same. Time and efforts are needed to score well. Its not about last-minute-banging-door-consultation or wtf that goes along that line. Consult the lecturers and tutors, not me. I am a S.T.U.D.E.N.T.

Warning:

I am charging for consultations. Rachel suggested RM150 for every 20 minutes. So start saving up before you plan hammer on my door (oh and save up more in case you need to pay for the door too.)

I am serious. And thick skin f*ckers are just so not my type.

红酒的后劲,强。



刚刚,
很悠闲的空间被震撼的画面入侵,
一切原先的松懈顿时蒸发的无影无踪。
实在太不可思议了。
开怀的气氛以及源源不绝的灵感立即中止,
取代而之的是创意细胞的死亡。
第一眼,她与她与花。
回头望,依然是她与她与花。
然而,
随后而来的一切却有如喝了高酒精的红酒般;
那画面就似狠狠的酒劲不停攻略思维。
仿佛可以听见脑里某根筋啪一声,断了。
随然,
画面有可能是被我们彩色化了,

那刹那的震撼
呼之不去。
好狠的酒劲。
红酒的后劲,强。

Malaysia’s Festival of the Mind V


Tonnes of VIPs congregated at UTAR, Perak campus at the official launching of Malaysia’s fifth Festival of the Mind. VIPs such as our Deputy PM & Minister of Education, YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin, Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik, Perak’s MB, Dato’ Seri Zambry and many other politicians and famous figures. Surprisingly the official launching was in DDK1 but all in all the VIPs, media, chairman from various clubs and societies, Deans and HODs and guests all fit in snugly.

For this grand launching, DDK1 was totally transformed. Fancy backdrops with 2 LCD TV and most importantly, all the chairs are fixed and repaired! Woohoo! The management even managed to rent 2 golf carts to ferry the DPM & MB from Block D to the Heritage Hall. Ha! Golf carts!

I am proud to be invited to the official launching (hehe, chairman mar…) and I am so over-whelmed to see the media and the DPM, MB all up close. Usually this are things that we can only see from TV, to experience it is something quite different.
My 契弟。
Two people that I placed them to usher the VIPs, and they really turn-up with formal wear complete with blazer to honour the task! Cool!

The Festival of the Mind lasted for 3 days, from 10th to 12th of July, 2009. In this 3 days time, the public talks and exhibitions are all open to the public. Many secondary school students visited the campus ( I felt really weird to be in the midst of all these students, they are younger than me but all looked so much older…wtf~ ), many outsiders ie: primary and secondary teachers came for the talks, families came in big crowd with their little children… the campus looked so much merrier all of a sudden.

Saturday I attended 2 talks : [1]Developing Openness to New Ideas for Enhancing Creative Thinking by Prof. Dr. Leonard Yong and [2] Speed & Range Reading by Mr. Chan Kum Hoe.

The talk by Prof. Leonard Yong was so enlightening. I even bought his book entitled: Emotional Excellence at the Workplace (this month allowance gone…sob) and he autographed the book for me! Yoohoo!

I am going to find a way to increase my endorphines, so that I can be happy and high all the time. THE MIND influences THE BODY; and THE MIND influences by THE SPIRIT. One needs to have good and uncontaminated spirit to have healthy mind and functional body. That is just so true.Sigh!

I don’t think learnt much in Range & Speed Reading by Mr. Chan, but one thing good that I found out is that my reading SPEED is around 400 words per minute! Wooooo~~~!!! Average Malaysian’s reading speed is around 240 words per minute while top chief editors and journalists reading speed is around 500 words per minute. Hahaha! I’m so happy and proud!

On Sunday I attended another 2 talks and also played some mind games at the festival.

The Magic of Memory by Mr. Jeyaraman is very intriguing and fun. I can remember 20 random objects in the correct order and also reverse order! Woot!

To remember something, one can use the I.D.A.M. method: Imagination, Dramatic, Associate and also Meaning. Besides that, homophones are very useful too. For instance:

Chinese much be very caring and concern about people’s knee when they actually greet people.

“你好” …

“Knee how?”

Other than homophones, one can also try Mnemonics.

For example, when we are trying to remember the colours of the rainbow: R.O.Y.G.B.I.V
Reverse order:

Vampire Is Building Great Yard Over River
Very Idiotic Boy Gives You Obnoxious Reply
Very Intelligent Boy Gives You Outstanding Reply

Later that day, I attended another talk: Discovering the Frontiers of the Mind by Ms Wong Chooi Yee. Personally, I do not think that this talk really benefits me in any way. Sigh~

But I did enjoy the mini mind games after the talk. The games are cool and superb! Hehehe!

Have to thank Shihu, Turtle, Ah Yang, Yen Qin for accompanying me the whole day =]


Many asked me whether this is my boyboy or bf, MUAHAHA! It was hilarious! This one is lil' bro la!!!!! Im still single and available!

Kena D.I.U.


Went to find my academic advisor today, after many attempts (at least 7 times) in stalking out at her place I finally met her. After knocking, I put my head in to tell her that I am her advicee and I am there to consult her.

The first arrow came flying was: "Advicee? How come I never see you before?"

Then I have explain that for the past 1 year I went to find her at least six or seven times but couldn't get her.

The second arrow came hurling was: "That's not true. I am always in my office whenever I don't have classes."

Again, I have to tell her that in my attempts of finding her, I even went to the faculty office and ask other lecturers about her whereabouts.

The third arrow came zooming was: "OK, saying that now I have 8 minutes to go before my class which is at 11am and I don't have all the details as it is online, you need to come and tell me what you have been doing in the past 2 years. Your studies, your CGPA, the clubs or societies you involve etc."

I was like ZOMG.

What. I. Did. In. The. Past. 2. Years.

BANYAK LOH!!!

And I asked: Do I need to compile the details into a list on a paper?

Her answer was: No. You have to come and tell me yourself.

OMG. Sweat. I can't even really remember all the events and projects that I have organized, run or even participated! From Orientation programme to Ice Breaking & Telematch, from Eco-Friendly Campaign to Talent Time, from Japan Ambassador Visit to Orang Asli Visits, from CUSA to other numerous activities and projects by Community Service Society and Career Development Club...

Gah. The way she talks is really ferocious. Tak pasal pasal kena diu. Sien.


Fallen ...

So many suspected cases of H1N1 in our class that it sounds rather ridiculous nowadays. More sneezing than usual -- H1N1, temperature increase by 2% --H1N1, wearing masks --Definitely H1N1!! (at least this is what thought by the medical staff at Kampar Hospital la.)
Lately my immune system is quite weak due to lack of sleep and rest and lack of proper, healthy meals... results in me falling sick finally. Flu, sorethroat and the worst that could happen ...... fever. I could be seen wrapping up like a ba-zhang with so many layers of clothings and blankets. Well, not to say I am very self-conscious or what, but I do look somewhat "rounder" than usual with all the extra layers to curb the cold. And I could do what I always like to do: guling-guling here and there.
I really dislike the fact that there is this assignment rush especially I am sick and not having a clear mind. I find that the heat on the forehead is preventing me from thinking straight and I hate to gamble the assignment marks. Not only papers and notes could be seen on the study table but tonnes of tissues, panadol packets and empty strepsils boxes make up the ungodly sight.
Many are falling sick, but the assignments just keep on coming. I do not know to what extent we all can withstand but for now we could only do our very best. As they say, UTAR = Uni Tak Ada Rehat, I shall just seek a proper rest some other time then.

KL Trip to National Library – Part 2

It was a hilarious morning with everyone waking up late (due to the tiredness, I suppose).

Everyone set their alarms the previous night except me; BUT I am the one who wake the others from their sleep-ins. Haha!

10am: went nearby Kopitiam to have a heavy breakfast so that we won’t faint while going through the archives in the National Library.

11am: took cab to National Library
The interior of the National Library...was waiting for two respondents to complete the questionnaire when I snap this..

11am something: continue our mission – go through the newspapers archives and get the information we need, Natalie and me took our turn to distribute questionnaires for the TAA report.

4pm something: everyone is nearing their limits and few were already over the edge with hunger, all decided to finish up ASAP and pit stop at Times Square for food and some shopping before head back to Kampar later at night

6 something: after monorail and cab rides, we finally arrived at Times Square, complete with our luggage and looking like exactly like tourists; went to Shabu Shabu to have our meal (Japanese style steamboat! Woo~~)

7 something: after dinner shopping! I bought a tube dress >.<>

7.45pm: went to Fruity Gelato and tried another 3 scoops of gelato (this time sharing with Natalie, whom also a gelato-crazed), flavours tried: After Eight, Wild Berries Yogurt and Dragon Fruit

8.15pm: went to Krispy Kreme and bought half a dozen of doughnuts (Glazed Cruller, New York Cheese, Hershey’s Dark Chocolate, Almond Chocolate, Strawberry-filled Puff and one-no-name).

8.45pm: rush to monorail station and head back to KL sentral for our journey back Kampar
My magnet(Renu) and me looking so worn-out after the trip O.o

12.15am: reached Kampar’s KTM station. Tired, but went out with YY and Jojo to lakeside to enjoy the doughnuts and listen to their babbles , complaints about what happen at Music Nite.

4am: finally, balik rumah tido.
