Penang bridge Marathon... and others

yo!! I'm back again... haha

remember when i said that i would not come back till next year?? but, this time i was forced to come back, because it was compulsary for us to leave our hostels.... while some of them went to explore Penang Island, i opted to goi back to JB since i have company.... and so, i'm here, updating my blog...

though it's just a rather short 2 weeks or so, quite a number of things happened throughout this period of time...haiz

firstly, it was the education fair held at our school... since i was one of the PRD members, i was involved in it.... and my job was to entertain the representatives from the IPTAs... and i was given the task to help out at the UKM's Nursing college's booth... and then, i did something i think i would not be able to do before... speak loud and clear in front of people i don't know... haha... i actually speak out and welcomed them to KMPP.... i was quite nervous at first, but it turned out that everything went on smoothly... hee heee.. thank God!!!

next thing is, i took part in the Penang Bridge Run on the 22nd of November, which as last Sunday.... well, i only took part in the fun run... but it's 10 km you know.. Nevertheless, i conpleted the run within the time given, which was 1.5 hours... haha... but the effects were not so good, i suffered leg pains for 2 whole days after that... haha..

here's some pictures i took before and during the event:

me and shao ting hanging around while we wait for the event to start... actually we were already at Queensbay at about 10pm on Saturday night... so after watching a movie, we didn't have anything better to do.... and sadly, we couldn't find a proper place to sleep.....so, we hung around that area, takng pictures... hahaha

we were not the only ones... other people find it hard to sleep tooo...

kai yin and cheau weei......

the other participants...

this picture was taken when the full marathon started... can you see the runners??? haha

panoramic photo of the full marathon runners at the starting line...

finally at 7.30 am, it's our turn.... this is the starting point for the fun runners.... which was in front of Eastin Hotel...

there's an aeroplane on the sky.... AirAsia if i'm not wrong...

Starbucks at Queensbay.....

while waiting for the bus to take us back to KMPP... this was what we did.... we were lucky to be able to see this 终级天团event by 8tv... it was their audition at Queensbay.... and we were lucky to see their host, Gary 叶俊岑 too.. try spotting him in this picture.. huahuahua;)

erm... that was about the Penang Bridge Run...

i got my results on Wednesday, which was the day i was supposed to come back for Hari Raya Haji.... and i got more than i had expected... 4.0 PGNK... hahaha... yay.. Thank God!!! I had been praying day and night... since the day after my exams....phew.. and now it's finally over... but what made me worry was that i got B for my english, though it was not counted in the PGNK, but i'm worried about my MUET....

i'm going back to Penang again tomorrow night... so sad:( can't get to meet any of my friends here... but i had a wonderful time at home.. i got to had my share of Boh Bo's secret recipe Turkey today for dinner.... yummy yummy... haha.. Furthermore, i got the drumstick... heehee

well, i guess that's all for this post....bye.. see you:)

hmmm...

one last post which i typed at home before i go back to Penang. Tomorrow night, i'm going to take a bus back to Penang, where i'm currently studying at a matriculation college there. I haven't packed my things yet... planned to do it last minute.. haha.. as i see no point in packing earlier, since i will still take out all the things that i had stuffed inside my bag several times before i zipped my bags up and say '' i'm done packing'' heehee

it's the end of the holidays!!! Wakey Wakey.. no more television programes, no more computer games, no more waking up late.... haiz... holidays are never long ( that's what i think) The thought that i had to go back to the hostel and clear up the dust and killing and wacking the large, huge gigantic Spiders.... made me feel... ewww...(still need to clean up ah???) lazy la...haha all this while, i just need to sweep and mop the floor at home.. and i don't mind doing that at the hostel... it's the fact that no matter how you keep your room clean, there'll be spiders lurking at the top of the bed --that's the ceiling... ish...and sometimes, small insects falling down onto my bed just like the leaves falling from the trees during autumn... (i exagerated a bit) hahahah

After this, i'm going back to Penang for another 2 months or so... hope that i won't be too home sick.... have MUET on this coming Saturday... wished that it'll be over soon...

haiz....

i guess i had pretty well enjoyed myself this holidays... it's just that i want more time to 'rot' at home... like what i did during the 5 months break after SPM... haha ermm what did i do?? watched lots of drama on television, onlined--Facebook, games and etc, ate a lot of good food ( i never really enjoyed the food in the College Cafes) Talking about food, last Monday 6th aunty treated us to a Japanese dinner at Shogun Restaurant... yay... the food were served buffet style.. the food were delicious... and i don't remember doing anything except for filling up my stomach.. haha... other than sushis(many different and weird types) , noodles( i ordered pork ramen) they also serve fried chicken wings--something i craved for when i'm at the college, i don't know why...:)

oklah, have to stop here... having a backache.. must have strained it just now, sat too long.. haha old already ma :)

ciao... :D

the first day of November....

oooh!!! without realising it, the month of november has arrived again...well, this shows that almost another year has passed...haiz

although it is just the begining of november, i need to get ready to go back to Penang.. unlike those years when i was busy preparing for my finals... as well as planning for my school holidays too..haha..

these few days i have been such a 'couch potato', stucked to the comfy sofa at home with my fingers tabbing on the astro remote control for any available channels to look for any interesting shows to watch... and amazingly, i wonder how many last episodes i had watched this time...heehee... as the days passed, i think i have started to gain weight again... getting heavier... even though i went for early morning jogs at leisure mall at the start of the holidays...until recently, i started to ''get some rest''....obviously, i'm starting to get lazy..:Dhaha

imagined that i had planned to play the violin and piano as much as i can during this 2 weeks of brief holiday.... i actually thought that i had a lot of time.... but it turned out to be the opposite. everyday, i would say:''tommorrow lah... don't want to 'torcher' the rest of them at home...'' so, i procrastinated those things that i would really really won't be able to do there.... so sad... after about half a year of not practicing, my fingers seemed to have lost their agility...sad sad sad... but what can i do...?? just hope that i will cherish the few days left of my holidays....and SPEND less time in front of the TV....heehee, that's the thing which stole away most of my time while i was at home....

hmm... why all these sad stuffs?? haha i don't know why tooo...maybe i'm just afraid of going back to Penang... due to the thought that i won't be back for another 2 months... nevertheless, i think i should get better when i get there....

there's something strange i noticed, not only me.. but some of my friends too... that is.. everytime we go back to the college after a break at our own cosy home, we felt more homesick than the last time we came back....why??? i have no idea... so, this shows that we should not come back at all, that would be the best solution... i guess.. hahaha

a piece of good news to enlightened my mood.... that is, i can watch Winx Club Season 4 at You Tube... haha.. yayyay... some good people had it uploaded and translated into english subtitles.. :) however, since it's still new and was aired just recently in Italy, not all of the episodes have been uploaded yet... so, i just watched those that have already been uploaded... and i'm contented with that...:)

just something random for the first day of November.... haha..

''if everything does not turn out the way you want it to be, just trust in God, for he has planned it all for us....''--some encouragement for myself.. and the rest of you too:)

bye:)

dread...

i really don't know what i'm doing these few days since the day i came back... other than watching tv and onlining, and some lying around the house doing nothing, i can't figure out what i'd done... hmm, in a way, these thoughts made me feel so depressing...

i still have 3 more MUET papers to go... and i have yet to prepare for the 2nd semester, which i thought that some of my friends had already started on it... after the recent encounter we had during PSPM1...

haha.. there's something here i'd like to share with you all... quite embarassing though. Yesterday, after waking up from my afternoon nap, i drove my mum's car down to my aunt's house.... but while i was reversing my mum's kelisa from our house's porch, ''crash''... and i turned around.... huahuahua... the side mirror collided with the pillar of our house... and the consequence of this accident was----i broke a pipe there...heehee it was a pipe draining rain water from the roof... so, just pray that it wont rain these few days... == hehe guess that what's going to happen if i drive wheni just got out from bed....><

haiz... not a day passed without me fretting of going back to penang.. i don't feel like going back:( i still have about 5 months there... but who knows, if i didn't do well in the last semsester exam, i would be kicked back to JB....heehee it's always better to have yourself mentally prepared than to have a shock when the time comes, right?? yup... it's always like that for me...

the next time i'm coming back will be next year already... after the mid semester exam. i guess i'll have to celebrate christmas there this year... and also countdown too... all at KMPP, this year... haiz... if i knew that this would happen, i should have enjoyed all i could last year... i'm going to miss all these :( sob sob sobzzzzzzz.....


that's my update for now... see you soon :p

time for some rest

after 3 weeks of struggling, with piles of reference books and lecture notes, finally it's time to take a break!!! yipee... :) though, things are not quite the same for my ex-classmates.. those taking a levels are having their exams now.., while form6 people will be having their exams soon... too bad, we had our PSPM too early.. haha..

so, now i'm back to JB, without plans of going out... just staying at home i think... where i can online, watch tv... those things i can't do over there... phew... i wonder how did i spent my time there??? and how did i survive those 6 months at KMPP!!!... it must be a miracle:) even i couldn't believe it myself....

after staying there for quite some time, thank god.. i'm starting to get use to the life there..geting to know more friends, know more about the subjects i'm taking...

it's true, and i have to admit that time flies...i'd finish 1 semester here already:)

however, the thought that i'd have to go through the same thing again next semester... made me worried and a bit... you know what we call it... ''Sien ah'' haha

i only have 2 weeks of holiday... and then going back on the 5th of november for MUET on the 7th....meaning.. i can't really relax throughout this holiday... need to do some revision on english. Oh, by the way, i had my speaking test last Wednesday.... it was quite all right... i wasn't as nervous as i was during my last evaluation.:)

okok... here's some pictures i took:

me and cheau weei during the mid-autumn festival held at our college

the pictures below are taken during our 1 Malaysia open house event, we were encouraged to wear our traditional clothes...

introducing:(from left) eileen, jun ni, kaiyin and cheau weei

me and my class mates

while the rest were busy doing their preparations, the few of us 'curi tulang'.. came out to take pictures... hahah

this photo was taken on the day after exam... i was the photographer... we didn't know that our school had such nice scenery until that day... hahaha

there are more picture on my facebook... :)

lastly, good luck and all the best for those who are having their exams.... whether now or soon... :) jia you lah

that's all:)

bye:)

a short while...

i've been back for almost a week already... it's not until now that i remembered to update my blog.. hee hee.. too busy enjoying life on facebook i think... After this i'm going to be very busy preparing for my exams... PSPM and MUET.. that's why i have decided not to bring my laptop up to penang with me... Haiz... that's the only way to prevent me from spending my time onlining.. haha

Actually, i haven't been studying these few days.. tried to finish my tutorials and past year questions, but i couldn't complete them.. kept finding myself munching away on any tidbits i find at home (i've been hungry for the past whole month leh)... haha.. if not i would be in front of the television watching whatever drama or movies there is...

3 weeks after i go back to Penang, i'm coming back again!!! yipeee!!! But that is after my speaking test... haiz.... and i've to go back to KMPP a few days earlier before the holidays end... for the rest of the MUET exam... haiz... stressss... (again).. hahhaha

our college will be having a Rumah Terbuka event on the first day of the study week... and we were supposed to wear our traditional clothes and prepare our traditional food... and as you all might have already know..... i was asked to bring a cheongsam... and wear it... AHem!! NAh... there's no way i'm going to wear it.. huahuahua....but, my mum bought me four mooncakes to bring to Penang....hee hee.. there's a 30% discount for them of course.... hee hee.. i was actually planning to buy two only... :)

Hope that time flies quickly... wish to end this whole matrikulasi program quickly.. and move on to the next stage-- which is what i've been striving for all this while... studying hard since primary 1... and saving up money since the day i was born....all and all...just so that i can go to UNIVERSITY... hee hee

ok, that's all for now....haha

bye...
and it will be quite a while before you all will see me again...

haha

take care...

breaking fast...

It's the fasting month now for the malays... and another few days it'll be Hari Raya.... !! My friends were all so excited about celebrating hari raya.... on the other hand, i'm excited too, becaaaause... hee hee i get to go back to Johor bahru.. wahahahatalking about going back, this time, i'm going back by flight... Air Asia... The flight ticket, to and fro costed my mum RM273, including taxes and insurance... and another thing, the fare from KMPP to the Bayan Lepas airport by car costed me RM65.... haha... Overall, this trip is far much expensive from the previous, and i'm only coming back for 1 week.... haiz..

it doesn't matter lah, as long as i can go back, that's all that matters the most to me... hahaha

ok, back to the topic...

last friday, which was a few days ago, i broke fast together with my practicum friends.. after a few days long of discussion, our praticum decided to break fast together at the Grand Continental Hotel, also in Penang, but it's on the other side of the bridge... we took the college's bus there...

so, now, let the pictures do the talking... haha... it's the first time you'll see so many pictures in my blog.... wahaha

after finish eating.... was too hungry to take the pictures of the food before eating... haha

pictures of my friends in the restaurant...

some of my friends.. outside the hotel....

this is where we went after dinner.. Padang Kota... nice background.. our mentor helped me took this picture... as what you had seen earlier on and later... i won't be in most of the pictures... because i'm the camera ''girl'' you see... hahahaha

another group picture, with our mentor.... try identifying which one is our mentor... hahaha

nice background... haha

another picture with me inside... hua hua hua

cool....

cheese.. and don't forget to pose.... ><

there are more pictures inside my handphone... i don't have much time to upload them here.. maybe... perhaps... i'll do it during my holidays... upload them on Facebook hee hee...

exams are coming soon (again i'm mentioning this) haha... i've been trying my best to finish all the tutorials and past year questions... but they seem to be endless... cannot finish... and getting more instead....haiz.... Luckily, there are no more quizzes for the time being... and our marks have been submitted to be added to the final exam...

oklah... that's all... wait till i go back home... haha...

bye.. and take care...

i did it!!

hi there... strange?? although it isn't sunday or friday today, i'm onlining... haha... that's because i wasn't satisfied that i couldn't upload my ''hardwork'' up here for my family members and friends to see, you see...

it's a video concerning Malaysia independence day, and it should only be 1 minute long... it wasn't an easy task shooting the video, as usual, everybody were shy shy.... you know lah... and the editing wasn't as easy as i thought..... the program kept ''hang-ing'' and i had to keep restarting it... and then some times when i had done a lot, and forget to save, it '' hang-ed'' again.. phew....!!!

i spent the whole thursday night doing this, with only 2 hours of sleep before i go for my classes on Friday... luckily, i wasn't fishing in class on friday morning,... haha

another 10 more days... and i'm going back home to JB!!!!

ahha, we have a public holiday this monday... yay... woke up later than usual... later than i planned to.. but i still managed to wash my clothes before meeting my study group members... we were supposed to discuss maths that day, and i'm the faci....haha....

i went out again last saturday, bought a lot of things... saw a lot of mouth watering mooncakes too... but the unusual thing is that, there's no lavender or seasons here.... they have da thong... and many unfamilliar brands that i don't usually see in JB....

exams are drawing nearer... MUET especially... i'm worried about my speaking.... i don't want to be the first candidate to start the whole thing... remember that time we had a mock speaking test during english class... and as expected, i was candidate A.. and had the honour to voice my opinions first... i got soooooo nervous that i could not even say anything.... and that was in front of our english teacher and another 2 more practicum mates.... it's not the examiner or what... imagine if i were to be in front of the examiner.... haiz...... have to be more prepared i think.... i was too ''lengang'' already... haven't prepared to face any exams....haiz....

oklah, i think thats all for this post...have to continue with my maths tutorial.... haha...

bye and take care

stepping out...

yay...!! tommorow's Malaysia's independence day!! another public holiday... haha... many of my friends went back for this 4 days holiday... including those from Johor too...

however, i didn't just stay in the hostel yesterday.. i made a decision to go out with my friends... i didn't feel like going out before this... because it was raining the whole day on friday and i just don't feel like going out on a rainy day... luckily, yesterday the sun was shining brightly before i went out....haha

it was my first time going to Jusco, you know...hee hee.. and it was my first time going out with my chinese friends... hahahaha... we reached there at about 10.30am... and the bus back to KMPP won't arrived till 4pm...

so, we went to watch a movie--''Sophie's revenge'', a chinese movie... there wasn't any nice shows yesterday, and we took a long time before we decided to watch this... but i didn't regret spending RM6 for this movie.. it was nice.... and guess what....the cinema was almost empty except for the 8 of us and a couple... hahahaha....

after sitting down and watching movie for more than an hour, we went to buy our stuffs which was the main reason why we came out yesterday... I bought some stationeries and most importantly my ration--Bicuits and hot chocolate...

next, we went for lunch... ate at KFC.. i haven't been eating my favourite KFC for a long time already.. yum yum, deliciouso!!! haha...

at about 4pm, we went back to kmpp... all of us were tired.... and very tired indeed..some were even 'fishing' in the bus.. hahhaa..i had a great time in Jusco, enjoyed myself as well as relieving some of the stress i'm carrying on my shoulders... of course lah... after spending about RM70.. hahaha

that's about my first outing experience... hee hee.. exciting leh.. but sorrylah.. no pictures.. because all of us don't like taking pictures wahahahah oooooh... and i finally wore mask.. hhahaha i'm as stubborn as a mull and it wasn't easy to ask me to wear a mask.. but i wore it yesterday, so that i won't get sick... and then kena quarantine... or worse-sent back.. hee hee

another three more weeks before i go back for raya holidays... haha can't wait for that time to come... but after that 1 week of break, all kinds of exams will be coming... MUET and PSPM 1... Stress ah.... but nevermind... haha the trick is to think positively, maintain a happy and cheerful mind... like i always do... even when all of them are pulling a long face, i shall be smiling away... hahha... not crazy lah... but it's just to prevent myself from thinking negatively and making a detour on a path that i had already walked half way... hee hee...

it had been raining cats and dogs here these few days... my clothes don't get dry that easily... i'm forced to use the dryer.... it was until now that i'd realise that i'd spent RM44 on my laundry-using washing machine and dryer...

i almost forgot an important thing... i'd dissection last tuesday... at first i felt sympathy for the little white mice that were going to be dissected... till i planned to ponteng bio's patical class on tuesday... and finally i sorted out my thinking... every being on this earth has a purpose... we don;t just exist... there's something we must all do... and the purpose of these white mice was for us to conduct studies...

so, i went into the lab on tuesday as calmly as i could... all of them were excited.... except me... hahaha were supposed to work in pairs... and i was the one who slit it's skin...luckily we didn't need to sedate the rat...the lab assisstants had done the ''most cruelest'' procedure of this experiment..... i would ABSOLUTELY not do it...otherwise i would feel very very very bad....

me and my partner got a male one... but the only thing is that.. it's dead... it's heart has stopped thumping... which is another thing which made me feel better...hee hee...at least i'm not studying, flipping and whatever on something which is still alive.... like this... it won't feel pain... arghhh... for those who know me well enough... will know that i have a soft spot for animals....

oklah... it's quite a long post... i shall stop here... hehe tomorrow's a holiday... another day where i can wake up a little bit late... haha

that's all.... bye bye.. and take care:)

==

Guess what?? As usual, i would carry m laptop to the library every sunday morning to go online... but.. this morning, the library did not open... !!!!! since 9.45am i'd been waiting faithfully in front of the glass doors of the library...the time slowly ticked by.... 10am, 10.15am, 1045am.... still haven't open... this made me sooooo.. urgggh... pekcek...

i haven't been onlining this whole week.... and this made me feel uncomfortable... haha... seems like i'd been too addicted to the internet since that long 5 months holiday...hee hee...so, i went to the cyber cafe at B4, the one that i'd not been visiting since i had my laptop with me.... luckily it was open....

there's nothing much to do anyway... just came to update my blog and read the online newspaper....and luckily i'd sbmitted my sains informatik assignment on friday... yay yay..i'll upload it here when i can use my own laptop... because the ones in the cc have lots of virus...i don't want to get my pendrive infected...

ooh.. about my mid sem test results... i got 4 As... Chemistry, Biology, mathematics and english... Thank god!!! i never expect to get an A for my chemistry....hee hee Now, i have to work hard for the coming PSPM in October.... this one is more important compare to UPS.... haiz.... Jia you jia you.... aiming for 4 flat....

counting down... 4 more weeks before i go back to JB!!! yay yay.... can't wait for that moment to come... some of my Johor friends will be going back next week... for Merdeka holiday... but it's just 4 days...not enough for me lah.... hahah...

yesterday was the 1st day of the fasting month for the malays... the cafeterias were not open... at first i didn't know where to eat my breakfast... it's not that i had nothing to eat, but i didn't know where to eat.... in my room, m room mates were around, i don't feel good eating in front of them since they are fasting... but i can't at the cafeteria also... a lot of malays sitting there too.... in the end, i had no choice but to eat inside my room lor... and then i skipped lunch.... and had dinner at around 5.30pm... the food were quite hot.... but not piping hot lah... at least not cold like those before puasa month... as the cafeterias only open at 3.30pm... haha

oklah...i think that's it for this post... can't tay here for long.... need to pay de... hahaha... blame the library lah... it's ok if the library' not open.... but it's not ok if they turn of the internet!!!!... haiz... nevermind lah... haizzzzzzz...

bye... and take care ya...

it's Sunday again.....

after another week long of lectures, tutorials, quizzes and asignments, it's finally another sunday... though it's just another 7 days, but many things can happen... for example, yesterday....

Guess what? yesterday, the maths unit of KMPP held a 'jejak maths' activity... i and another 9 people from the same lecture took part... we were supposed to represent H7 as a group...and after all those running, walking, counting and even measuring.... and after squeezing dry most of our brain juices.. we turn out to be the champion!!!! yay!!.... haha... quite unexpected, but it's true... yipeee....>< we had a large hamper with lots of junk food inside (my favourite) haha... so we divided everything equally among ourselves, not forgetting our lecturer too.... the best thing is that we had a reference book each... wahaha.... :)so happy..... thanks everyone...:)

and And AND..... tommorow, my UPS results are coming out!!! Nervous lah... i don't know how well did i do.... quite worrying also.... haiz.... (praying hard for good results )... hee hee

well, the college is quite quiet this few days.... because the two-year program students went back for their mid sem break, while most of the with flu syptoms were sent back home... that day, the college authorities even provided free bus service to send them back.... so good... day by day, the number of people wearing face mask increases.... let them wear lah, then i no need to wear mah... is what i always say... hahaha is H1N1 really that scary??? i'm starting to feel that it is just a common normal flu.... no big deal... that's what i think lah.... but is it true?? i don't know....

i'm starting to feel that i'm kind of relaxing.... and keep on blaming myself... am i lazy or what??? when i see those people burrying their heads in piles of book or carving lines of words on testpads, i tend to feel nervous.... they are so hardworking, but what am i doing.... i don't know....haiz... stress ah.....i study too... did my revision also... but i can't help but felt that what i did wasn't enough compared to them.... haiz..... it's all because of StrEss i think.... urgh....

oklah.. i think that's all for this post.... although i said many things happened, but i think it's just all these... haha.. maybe i'm confused by yesterday's victory.... because to me, it's something really 'big'' and meaningful...

take care everyone....

see you.... bye... g.b.

1st week....

i'm back to KMPP again, after the two weeks mid-semester break... haiz... although it seems that it is quite a long holiday, but it actually is quite a brief one...(to me)...

last saturday, i boarded the 10.00pm, KKKL bus from Larkin to Butterworth....i used to like long journeys especially on the bus... but this time, i just don't feel excited.. because.. there was a Cochroach on the curtain at my seat... hahaha... i tried to get rid of it... but as it was dark, i couldn't see it so clearly.... in the end, it dissapeared... i have no idea where it went.... haha but it must be around me somewhere.... as long as it doesn't disturb me.... i thought that i should just leave it alone... hee hee

Back to college....

H1N1-the ''hottest'' topic in KMPP for the time being... all of us had to take our temperature at the entrance of the college after scanning our matrics card.. all those with fever were quarantined... luckily, i'm nt one of them... haha Throughout the week, more and more people were quarantined.. and as usual, there were many different versions of rumours spreading around the college... such as the authorities are shutting down the college... another week of holiday is on the way.... and blaaa blaa blaaa...

but the bad news is, no such thing will ever happen here.... haha... because, our college had taken many preventive measures to contain the spreading of the H1N1 virus here... efficient leh....

it's time to be busy again after enjoying for 2 weeks... stresssssss again... hahaha... no choice lah... and i really wonder how did those people who said that matrics is easy find that its easy... haiz.. maybe they are smarter??? haha...

anyway, if they can do it.... we can too!! Malaysia boleh... yay yay.. hahha...

oklah... i guess that's it for this post... i have a lot of things i want to do online... it's been 1 week since i haven't go online and do the things i want to... yesterday had replacement class some more.... haizzzz.... so one 'online' day less.... and luckily the library's not that occupied today... hmmm... normally there's a lot of people here around this time.... takut H1N1 kut... hahaha...

bye....take care... miss u all...:) haha

it's time to go back.. mipo

After spending 2 weeks in JB, i can't help but feel that how nice it will be if i don't need to go back to Penang... haiz... for the sake of my future, no matter how reluctant i might be, i still have to go back... haiz.... Saturday night 10pm, KKKL, Larkin Central....haiz.... :(

SO, how did i spent my 2 weeks holidays?? Nothing much... spent most of my time watching 'Boys Over Flowers', completed my bio terrarium coursework.. i wonder it will survive or not..taadaa

terrarium 1

Terrarium 2

i made 2... just in case 1 tak jadi still got another one.. hahha

a piece of good news... i might be getting my allowance from JPA soon... 1 think i did mention something like that more than a month ago. But this time it's for real i think... my friend got hers already... but... sometimes we can't just be happy tooo soon.. haha

even before reaching KMPP i can sense the 'presence' of stress brewing somewhere inside of me... everybody must be busy burying their heads in piles and mountains of books, except for me i think... i'm really ''chilaxing'' at home.... (felt guilty about that) haiz.. (regret)....

didn't get to catch up much with most of my ex-classmates... except for yam nee and kim... and you know what they did?? Yam nee actually drove kim to my house last Thursday... but before that, Kim gave me a call, saying something about somebody's autograph book, and then asked for my address, (which jalan) saying she wanted to post it to me...... (i really don't understand what she's saying at that time...) .... (something fishy)... but i still told her (Jalan Hijau Muda 6)and then she asked 'what number'..... (blur)... again i replied.. 17... and then and then she said'' we will be arriving outside your house within 2 minutes'' ....==

i was wearing my pyjamas at that time... so, i faster run upstairs to put on my jacket.. wah sei... panting... and kelam kabut... hahah

we ended up chatting and taking pictures inside Yn's car... all was well until we noticed that her signals were flashing... the 2 people in front were trying all the buttons possible to turn off the signals.. but to no avail.... i felt guilty i couldn't help :( but luckily there wasn't any other problems besides the signals...haha

oklah... i think i will end this post here.. there's much more to do... have to start bucking up already... bye.. take care

Hidayah.. also another member of my study group

this is taken before the larian KAKOM... held on the 28th of August...

tadaima-I'm back.....

yay yay... i'm back from pulau pinang for my two weeks mid-sem break..... FReeeeeeDom.... hahahah... although i am back for a few days already, but still, i haven't been hardworking enough to update my blog.... lazy me....

this mid sem break should be for 2 weeks.... but the moment i stepped into the Bas sekolah which departed from KMPP on the 17th, i have a feeling that this holiday would be a short and fast one... time flies when you are enjoying yourself... it's true... today's already Wednesday.... there goes my one week... haiz.. ans what have i done??? sleep, eat, watch tv... and GAining back the ''weights'' i had lost during my stay at KMPP.... hahaha... so that by the time you all see me, i would be the same as before except that i'm darker....

there's a lot of things i wanted to do during this break, but i don't think that i'll have enough time. Why am i so tired??? haiz.... i've been spending most of my time sleeping since the day i came back....didn't i realise that i brought back a lot of homework??? haaaaaaiiiiiiiizzzzzzzz.....

very soon, my holidays will come to an end... and i'll have to go back to where i'm supposed to be. Nevermind, just bear with it for 1 year... Thank God for guiding me throughout the days when i was a newbie there, barely knowing anyone except for my room mates....but now, i'm starting to know more friends and i'm glad that i'm starting to ''love'' that place and i know that i will be able to survive there.... for sure..... jia you!!!

erm... i have some pictures with me, but they are in my handphone and i'm lazy to upload it here... so, i guess it will be some time later before i post pictures on my blog...

saw the huge header up there?? it is one of my coursework for Information technology class... we don't use Adobe Photoshop, but used GIMP instead.. haha... i know it's quite big but i'm just too lazy to resize it, as it can't be resized in GIMP.... so, maybe, perhaps later .... i'll try resizing using photoshop... hahaha

i guess that's all for this post.... gotta continue watching my DVD-Boys Over Flowers... hahaa... last cd already... yay yay..

bye:)

thoughts

have you ever noticed that as we grow up, our circle of friends become wider?? i just realise this recently.... haha



Initially, we have primary school friends, after that, we have secondary school friends... then college friends...... but this is only true if we continue to keep in touch with one another... right??



although i'm starting to have some friends here, i still think that my secondary school friends are the best..... thinking of them every time when i'm alone give me solicitude...... and reminiscing those funny moments we once had makes me smile uncontrollably......people might think that i'm a psycho, a freak or something else.... hahaha... but i really can't help it mah.....

another thing to be happy of is, i'll be getting my allowances soon from JPA.... yay!!! wan sei..... That day, erm.. Wednesday, Jpa officers came to KMPP to explain things to us..... RM250 per month for one year.... yay!!...

haiz.... recently. i've been attacked by some kind of 'insects'.... no one day passed without me scracthing my legs and arms.... lectures, tutorials and practical..... haiz..... wonder what it was.... my clear skin has now become full with ugly patches and spots.....ewwww..... arghhhhh..... since the day i set foot in here.... nothing's been right... first.. flu.... then itchiness.......urghhhhh

hmm... i'm now listening to final fantasy's eernal memories of lightwaves....... whoah..... how i wished that i can play the piano now.... last time, when i was stressed out, i used to play the piano sepuas-puasnya.... now... it's good enough if i can here the piano... hahaa... and i guess Miss Chin is going to whack me..... haha... i haven't been practising the violin since aweek before i left for Pulau Pinang...... she had advised me again and again to bring it together with me.... but due the the current circumstances, i can't..... hope i haven't forget the basics..... hee hee....

never mind.... i'm going back soon..... ( just a way to comfort myself)..... another few more weeks.... jia you rachel..... if the others can survive why can't you??? Go GO GO!!!!!!!

piles of tutorials are yelling out at me......few inches thick reference books are waving frantically at me...... quiz papers looked at me sternly....ooooooh...... i can't help but feeling stressed out..... haiz....Maybe some of you noticed that i was a kia su fellow before.... some of you might not realise though... hahaha... but i really am... i told myself before i came here.... i shall be a nobody and i won't be a kia su....but the people here are all smart-ees.... i can't be left behind mah....if everybody get four flat i must get 4 flat too!!!

haiz..... this is the path i chose.... i shall be responsible for it.... Form 6 will also be the same.... YN is in form 6... i felt guilty leaving her behind there.... hee hee.... sobz sobz

i thinks that's it for now.....

bye.... take care... H1N1 is spreading.... hahaa

life's getting hectic.........

yo! i haven't been posting anything since last weekend.... because...... i went out with my aunts and my sis.... finally i got my chance of getting out from this so called '' jail''hahha... For the past few weeks i had been looking at the others packing up their bags and getting ready to take a bus home.... i always hoped that i can go back home too... but my beloved hometown is in JB!!!!! First, it's far from Penang... second... the transportation fee isn't cheap.... haiz...

Nevertheless, i'm glad that my aunts and sis could come and visit me...wahaha.... my aunties came for a line dance session, while my sis took that opportunity to come here for a holiday..... i'm so envious of them.... yam nee is having her holidays too....

to tell the truth, i'm not prepared for matriculation. even if i am, i didn't expect to come so far as Penang.... During my long 5 months holiday after spm, i kept imagining myself studying in Form 6... and made form6 my first choice as i knew that it's not easy getting into Matix... See lah... now i came here unprepared... sometimes i still feel lost... plus... the lecturers here teach faster than mr heng's jet plane speed....

this week i had 2 quizzes.... chemistry and bio... both on the same day...Wednesday.... I wasn't really prepared for them... haha... I went out on Friday last week and came back only on Friday. I didn't really do anything when i was out... who wants to do anything when they are out on a holiday....well, you may be one... but i'm absolutely not.... hahahaha

so, after coming back to the college on Sunday, i starting immersing myself in a pool of homework/tutorials.... haha....busy busy busy...... and then tuesday, started preparations for the chemistry quiz the next day.... haha... last minute.....so had no time to prepare for bio... luckily bio quiz was at 6pm.... and class ended at 3pm... which means i'll have 3extra hours for bio.... yay!!

Oklah... i could answer the 2 questions for chemistry... but i'm not sure of my results... and as for bio, it was an online quiz through the KMPP portal.... we were atually the first batch of students to try this online quiz.... the results came out right after we submitted our answers.... and guess what i got?????? i got 20/20!!!!! yay.... it's really a last minute revision... thank god!!Hallelujah!!!

After these quizzes... i felt relieved.... but this isn't all... ''IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING''.... haha.... i'm getting used to this sentence already.....hahaha.... Next week... Maths and chemistry quiz.... aiya... anyway,there's going to be quizzes every single week.... hahha

A piece of good news.....I've got my laptop with me now!! yay yay!! But i don't think i can online frequently lah... but at least i can save some money i spent in CC...wahahha...

OH ya... most importantly, i bought my bus ticket to go back to JB during the mid sem break.... hahaha.... i bought it as fast as i could... as early as i can....17th July, 6pm... which means i will reach JB about 4am... hahaha.... which means i'm not taking part in KAKOM... a cocurricular activity carnival for all the matriculation colleges.....

ooooh.. i'm supposed to be busy today... because there's supposed to be a JPP election thing... to choose some wakil pelajar.... but due to the fact that there wasn't enough candidates, the election today was cancelled.... and why i said that i was supposed to be busy.... it's not that i was one of the candidates lah.... i signed up to be one of the helpers.... you see... haha

Today's Saturday.... Monday YN is going back to school.... my sis is going back to school.... SPM is soooo near the corner whey.... hahaha

Ahha.... another thing worth mentioning.... i have one week holiday for Hari Raya.... wahahaha.... and i'll definitely go back wahahahaha

I think that's it for now.... it's quite a long post.... bye...

miaow!!!

i said wouldn't be coming here today, but the heavy rain this morning had dampered my mood to go out, so, i had decided to stay inside the college to finish my tutorials.....

here's a little encounter i had yesterday....

''hmm..look at that girl wearing a dark pink shirt... she's going to scoop some rice onto the blue plate she's holding.... whoah... the rice is steaming hot..... oooh.. i could smell the fragrance of the rice from afar...... she's glancing over the trays on the table.. i wonder what's she's going to pick... get a fish girl..... get a fish!!!!! ooooh... she's picking up a wee, little, skinny fish.... yum yummmmm.... she went to the counter and ordered her usual glass of ice nescafe.... and then she paid for her food... who cares how much she's paying for that chicken drumstick and fish and that medium amount of rice...... i just wanna have some taste of that fish!!!! here she comes.... where's she going to sit???..... follow her... She's sitting down........ i'm going to sit BEHIND her and WATCH her eat.....i bet that she's going to give me something..... sabar lah....''

yesterday, i had my dinner at KafeB.... after i found a seat and sat down, i noticed a cat walking behind me... it then climbed up on another chair behind me... it watched me eat and it seemed like it's going to attack me anytime.... OMG!!! i was scared stiff...don't look at me like that... i won't give you anything..... i get up from where i was sitting and went to another table..... i was glad that the cat did not follow me.... but my happiness didn't last long.... it came again...... i picked up my nescafe and my plate.... and was ready to go to another table... that cat tailed me... i walk faster... it walked faster too!!! OMG!!! i'm being like a fool back there at the cafeteria.... luckily there wasn't many people there yet.... padan muka aku.... those were there looked at me....i changed from one place to another... with that cat at my heels wherever i go... i managed to shake it offf for some few minutes and then it came back.... haiz.. With much effort, i finally finished my food.... hahaha...

the reason why i didn't give some food to that cat is because it wasn't the only cat there.... i don't want to create a cat fight there by feeding that cat...and only that cat.. miao.... sometimes i really pity them.. i think they are really hungry.....and i think they really ''love'' me so much... i'm not the only one eating there ok.>?????

okok... enough about that cat...

it rained just now... thank god!! it was sooo hot those few days.....

oklah... that's it for now.. bye...

getting used to the new environment.....

yo! today's friday, but here i am in the hostel's cyber cafe... spending $$ again... classes ended at 12.30pm today and our mentor mentee session at 3pm is cancelled, as the lecturers have to attend a meeting....

third week....

had my first ever quiz here... chemistry 1.1... although it's just 10% and 2 questions, everybody is taking it soooo seriously that i couldn't help feeling pressurised.... The quiz was on Tuesday, so, on monday, my study group friends decided to revise topic 1.1 together... and guess where did we had our discussion? we had it at the dataran pelajar, the 6 of us together with a thousand and million of flying ''stuffs''- it's some small, round insects flying around... OMG!!! and it was super hot, although it's an open space, no wind, no rain.... haiz.... despite sweating away and occasionally fanning off those flying ''binatang'', we managed to finish our revision... hahaha...why didn't we choose a better place? oh yes we did... but the tutorial classrooms were all used up by the accounts students and lecturers, so, we had to give way....

ermmm... what else...

life's kind of hectic here, like i say before... albeit this is just the second week of class, biology and maths had reached the second topic already!!!! Chapter 2 mannnn!!!! and we are near to finish bio chapter 2 already...hahaha.... so fast....

oooh... and yesterday was chang festival... i didn't realise that until one of my friends mentioned about going home this friday to eat bak chang.... oooh... how i miss the bak changs at home!!!! and kim poh's nyonya chang..... i guess i have to miss them this year.... boo hoo hoo....

i'm still trying to adapt to the life here.... haiz... i'm taking too much time... still haven't fully recovered from my flu.... now my right ear's ringing.... haiz.... ''strong2'' is really sick this time.... it's been 1 month already!!!! i think maybe it's because i'm away from home... that's why i'm weak.... haiz....maybe i should just go back to jb and recupperate before coming back here...

what else...

about the food here.... mostly spicy.... can't find anything that's not spicy... even though you don't see the red chilli on the ''kuah'', it's still spicy.... hahaha... but luckily they are nice....but... they used a lot of kunyit... even the veges are yellow...

oooh... and i registered myself for a chemistry quiz.... paid rm10 for that... and i am not sure whether i can make it or not... haha.. it's going to cover all the syllabus in matrikulasi....never mind.. i'll just try my best...even though my main intention is to get a sijil penyertaan... hahha... but... of course we must put our aims higher kan??

many people are planning to go out tommorow... maybe i'll go out too...to pesta buku or maybe pacific or maybe jusco... i'll see first....sometimes i was so ''high'' sometimes i'm ''low''... haha... sounds familiar??

next week... maths quiz....

hope that time will start ''flying'' again..... i want to go home....... JB...

haiz... oklah.. that's it for now....

i don't think i'll be coming here tommorow... as there's a high possibility i will go out to spend $$$.... my allowance haven't come yet.... most of them got theirs in their accounts yesterday.... nevermindlah sabar dulu.... hahha... i'm not short of $$$ anyway...

bye bye... take care....

my first outing from KMPP...

yesterday, i finally took my first step out of the college... but actually that wasn't my first time stepping out from the college main entrance.... the first time was when we were holding a farewell party for our timbalan pengarah, when the students were line up on both sides of the road, from the dataran pelajar inside the college to the road leading to the main road outside...and our practicum was positioned outside the college...hahhaha...

so, yesterday, i followed my room mate to go to the kepala batas pasar malam. since this was my first time going out.... i practically don't know anything... haha.. we took a bus there, there were buses just right outside the college, so going out wasn't that difficult after all... i used to thought that we have to wait on the mainroad to get a bus.... hahha... one trip to the pasar malam cost me 7 kupang...(they don't call it 70sen here) hahha....

the things sold at the pasar malam were mostly food such as char keoy tiau, fried rice and nuggets.... etc... but i only bought a packet of fried rice for RM1.50 haha... after buying our dinners, we waited for another bus to come to send us back to the college... we didn't wait long...haha... the buses here were antiques.... unlike those we have in JB... air-conditioned, wide seats, no creaking sounds, no bumpy rides .... haha

tommorow, classes again!!! haiz..... ohhhhh.. i almost forget that i have extra class for biology toight.... haha....

i miss everything in JB- my friends, my family, my dogs, my room, my sofa, and my TV!!!!! i haven't been watching tv ever since i came here.... boohoohoo....and i haven't been able to practice my violin nor the piano..... the sound of music is lacking in my life!!!!

oklah..... i shall put a comma here... hahha

bye and gb......

second week.....

time crawls..... they don't actually fly these few days.... haiz...

Although i'd been in this new environment for 2 weeks already, and should be able to get used to the life here, but there were times that i still miss home, family and friends.... when i was walking to the lecture halls, labs and tutorials, i tend to think about my ex-classmates... however when i was in the cafeteria, thinking of what's for lunch and dinner, i thought of my family... and when i was in my dormitory, i thought of my room... and the times i spent at home...

classes started this week... everyday, i had lectures for bio, chemistry and maths, except for fridays, where i only had to attend maths lectures, information and technology class and dynamic skills class...Although class starts at 8am everyday, i had to wake up at 5.30am every morning... it's not that i'm scared that i'd be late for class, but you know... the toilet here does not belong to anyone of us.... and we have to go to the toilet early to reserved a place to bathe and wash up...otherwise we'd really be LATE... haha

As the bathroom is always packed early in the morning, i usually wash up first, then do my laundry, and then only i queue up to use the bathroom...wahaha....

After bathing, at about 7am, i went down to the cafeteria for breakfast... bread and cold milo... and then... before 7.30am, i headed for the lecture hall/ tutorial/lab...... depending on the time table....

On monday, classes end at 5pm, tuesday and wednesday at 3pm, thursday at 4pm... and friday at 12.30pm but i have mentor and m,entee sessions from 3pm to 4pm...whenever i'd time, i will go to the library... i don't want to stay in my oven-like room in the afternoon... phew, it's so HOTTTT!!!! so, i prefered the library..... air conditioned..... nice...... hahahhahah

After that, dinner at 5 something.... and then bathe and then to the library AGAIN...... haha.... rajinnya aku.... hahah... But, truthfully, it's BORING!!!! OMG... try reading the reference book everyday..... !!!!!!

Here, they emphasize on the importance of study group.. whether you like it or not, our mentor is going to group 6 people in one group..... and i'm the Maths Fascilitator for my group.... I'm used to studying alone.... tried studying with yn and kim before, but we ended up chatting and joking away.... hahhaha.... how??? take this as another new challenge here... studying as a group might work for me too....i hope so......:)

We were allowed to go outing every Saturday and Sunday, and for those who want to go home can go back on Friday 4pm.... wow, most of them from my practicum went back the moment the mentor mentee session ended yesterday.... haiz.....but i can't..... boo hoo hoo......

i guess i will just have to adjust to my life here.... my room mates were nice people...i guess my room will be the most noisiest one on the 2nd floor.... perhaps the whole block ..... wahahahha..... of course i'm not the one creating chaos here... i still can't find my voice.... and my voice is still rather awful that i don't even feel like talking.... it's been 3 weeks... but i think i'm getting better.... and i WILLL.....hahahhah

in a nutshell, one week here is like 1 month in JB... that's what i feel.... although the lecturers say that it's going to be very fast..... ooo.... and i learnt a few nothern Bahasa Melayu from my friends... it's quite different freom what we heard in JB.... so, sometiomes i had to go huh? huh? huh??? only then they'd realise that i couldn't understand.... haha.. but i'm learning... hahha.. ''hang'' means you.... and their ''r'' s sounded like ''q'' for example... tidur is tiduq hahahha..

Challenges. Isn't that what i'd been looking for.? In the past, i wanted to go to Form6 because they say it's a great challenge studying in form6....but now, comparing form6 to matrix.... this is much more challenging i think...hahha....

okok... it's along post... i shall stop here....

bye.....take care....

Out and alone......

For your information, this is part 2 of my previous post.... many things happened throughout this whole week and i am unable to squeeze them all into one post... Yesterday's post was mostly on my trip to Pulau Pinang...

Well, i haven't really started learning anything yet... but, glad to say, i can finally memorise the penang state song and the college song..... Normally in school we would sing the Johor Anthem after the Negaraku... i'm still not quite used to singing the Lagu Pulau Pinang... sometimes, after the Negaraku, i tend to prepare myself for the familiar tune of the Johor anthem.... hahahha... But seriously, the Lagu Pulau Pinang sounded more lively than the Johor one... haha..I like that song!!!

So, everyday for the past week... we had to periods of kuliah Moral, while the Muslims had their prayers... and we actually had a singing competition among the groups... i was in Group 1.. Mambo Number 1!!! actually this group of mine performed poorly for the first few days.. our group cheer was the most childish... and most semangat-less... compared to the other groups... even our Fasi was fed up with us...

Thursday was the day of the singing competiton.... we had a brief practice before the competition begins....I frankly told the rest that my voice is super duper awful... luckily they didn;t mind instead thwey asked m,e to sing loudly also.... phew... Normally we were the first to start... but today, we were last... Unexpectedly, we were one of the two champions!!! yay!! After that, we were told that we were also chosen to sing in a choir on Friday, during the closing ceremony of the Minggu Pengurusan Pelajar Baru... OMG... Do you all realise that i sounded really awfull.... and coughing very badly sometimes....???? But i can't just abandon the rest of the group... right?? i'm worried that they will ignore me if i did that....mipo

So, i sang.... Thank God i did not do anything embarassing....hahaha... i'm quite famous for that... wahahaha

Classes will be starting tommorow... the system they used here is almost similar to those in universities....so, we will be having class in the form of Kuliah, Tutorial and amali....Everyone of us were divided into different practicums... as for me, i'm in H7P2... For kuliah, all the H7 will be in the same lecture hall... and then P2... is something like class... where the whole bunch of us will attend tutorial and practical together....

During the orientation week... we were introduced to everyone in the same practicum... each practicum will have a mentor who will take care of us... especially those problems concerning studies.... Did i mention that i was the only chinese girl there....??? I can't remember whether i told you all about that in my previous post... so, whatever it is, i'm not in the same practicum nor kuliah with mk and lua... hahaha....

I'm going to try to be active in the activities held here...(i was quite inactive in the past... i know)

Now... my new target is 4-flat!!!! No more A1s... or As.... Though getting 4 flats means getting 3 straight As... (Mathematics, Bio and Kimia).... sounds simple right?? 3 subjects only... but i'm still quite worried that i won't perform as well as i did during the previous years.... haiz.... the people here are all smart-ees... hahaha.... nevermind lah... i won't give up so easily.... Gambate yo!!!

Just hang on...... hang in there Rachel..... Another few more months and we are back home again....!!!! Go GO GO!!!!

All the best to you all..... take care... there's already a second case of A(H1N1) in Malaysia... and i'm still coughing here... and there are quite a lot of things happening around this few days... take care ya...

oklah.. that's it for today... Bye.. and God Bless....

I'm In Pulau Pinang!!!

I'm now in Kolej Matrikulasi Pulau Pinang and am using the computer in this cyber cafe of Desa Sri Kandi.. that's where my hostel is... for your information, i'm staying at Block B3, second floor room 6.... (freezing cold) cos i'm sitting right under the air con.. hahaha....

i didn't come to KMPP alone... ming keat and yin san came here too... we spent 2 nights at a hotel nearby -Pearl View Hotel with our mothers... the fathers just helped us with the luggages at the larkin bus station. Talking about the journey here... haiz... erm.. it's a litle bit hillarious....

Me and my family went to the bus station on saturday at 8.30 am.. daddy was worried that we would miss our bus which was scheduled to depart at 9.30am.... so, we were early... Daddy helped me with the largest luggage i had... it was soooooo heavy and it was a miracle i could carry it down the stairs at home all by myself... hahah

After that, an indian guy came and brought us to a bus...but it wasn't the bus we expect to see...
so, after squeezing in all of our luggages at the luggage compartment under thje buis, we went up to find our seats... it turns out to be free seating.... and instead of 25 seater, it became a 40 seater bus...(we didn't expect that too....)

we took that bus and expected it to go directly to Pulau Pinang Butterworth bus station... but it did not... on the bus, we were referred to as "enam orang itu" hahha.. because we were the only ones that were going to P.P on that bus....reached Pydyraya... a place i'm quite familliar with.... :)
changed bus.... luckily this bus was better, it's a 25 seater and it's more spacious.. but, we had to carry our huge, gigantic, and heavy luggages from the previous bus to this bus... thiese were heavy enough, but, we had to cross the road to get to the new bus..... by the time we reached there, all of us were perspiring profusely.. and panting..... erm, had chicken burger for lunch...

ok, now, thinking that this is the last bus, we won;t be changing buses anymore, we were quite satisfied here.... however, we were wrong once again.... hahha... about 8pm.. we were some where near Butterworth, but we have to change another bus to get to the hotel earlier... so again, the same situation repeated.... carried all of our luggages...and 1, 2, 3, here we go again.... hahaha

Finally we reached the bus station... took two taxis to the hotel... RM15 for such a short ride, they must have ketuk us... hahaha so, this is our jkourney to pulau pinang..
the next day, we took a ferrry to the penang island.... did some shopping... and JPA called me at about 10am, telling me to register at matriks the next day....

so, i'm now in KMPP... for almost one week already..... but the last few days were considered quite torchering.... woke up as early as 4.30am and slept at about 12am.... you see.????

ok, my new life starts here.... for the next 11 months i'm going to be here, except that i can go back home during the holidays.....

Remember i said that i was getting better from my sickness.... it's back again... no one day passed by without hearing my cough... hahaha....

That's it for my post this time.... i will try to update my blog more often... and since this is a cyber cafe... we can do anything on-line as long as the computers here has support for that function... which means... there's msn... ans e-mail... haha.. yay!!!

Bye... GB...

JPA results!!!

haha... i stayed up to wait for the JPA results....

so, this is what i got....

applied for Overseas Degree Program.... and they offered me local IPTA..., though i'm not so sure what is this...

from what i can get throughout this few hours after getting my results, it means that i was given an offer to study locally, although i'm not sure whether it will guarantee that i will continue to receive this scholarship till i enter public university, because it is stated here that they will provide me financial asisstance for matriculation/ foundation under the education ministry/ higher education ministry... so... as a matter of fact... i'm still confused.... but thank god!! that i was offered the scholarship... though i don't know what i get, but i felt fortunate that i'll will get something... some of my friends didn't get it.... but i'm here getting something.... however, it's not what i applied for... and something which i can't confirm myself.... anyway, some of my friends were successful applicants.... congratulations!!! hahah.... n to myself of course.... hahah...

oklah.. this result doesn't seem to change my pan of going to P.P tommorow....(perhaps it's today) hahha... still i have to go for matriks lah... it's not the whole PILN scholarship i got... hahha... but nevermind.... wherever i go... i still have to study hard.... and very hard indeed... harder than before... because from what i see.... my opponents are far more excelent than me....I'll be meeting those with more than 11 A1s.... then those active in koko.... and those very 'geng' in sports... and then those very good in talking....OMG!!! i'm starting to feel scared..

Saying a little prayer.....

Alright,... that's it for now... i've to continue packing... hahhaha...

have to wait for the offer letter to continue making decisions.....haha.... can't wait to see what the offer letter says... because i'm still so blur about this...

ok... nite nite... it's quite late already.. but it won't affect me i think, since i'll be sleeping most of the time in the bus... hahha

bye.. (it'll be a long time after this before i type my next post)...

till then, see you (all)

Goodbye Johor Bahru........

tommorow...... 9th of May, year 2009... it's going to be the start of my 'becoming a grown up' lesson.... :) the final decision: Mummy's going to take me there by express bus... now, we are going to anticipate a 10 hours ride....my butt's going to go numb.....!!!!!

Today, i did my last minute shopping...went to leisure mall and plaza pelangi... still, i have a lot of things to buy when i go to Pulau Pinang tommorow...

well, it seems that it has come the time for Miss Rachel Lim to grow up..... i can't be a child anymore... boo hoo hoo....:(

i have to take care of myself... make decisions for my self... fend for myself and many more...

i can't imagine how's my life going to be after leaving this 'protective shield' of mine for 17 years... haiz... there's going to be no more drama serials... movies.... shopping... online... msn... games... winx club and many many more....... Though i've got a laptop recently, but i don't think i'll be bringing it up yet...haha

About my packing... i'm almost done.. but i still think that there are some more things that i need to bring but haven't put them in my bag... so.. i'm going to stay up late tonight...

Haiz... it's going to be a long journey to P.P tommorow.. i don't know how i'm going to 'kill' time.... 10hours... you know... the longest trip i had taken was to ipoh... i went to kedah before but that time i stayed a night at KL....

By the way, i'm half way to recovery from my recent cough.... i've just gotten better... and i'm leaving tommorow.... just hope that i'd become a little bit more stronger... hahaha.... and in a few days time... i'm back to strong strong again.... wahahha

anyway.... since many people around me will be starting school soon... no matter form 6 , matriculation, college...or anything else... and to those already started classes,.... i hereby hope for all the best in everything you all do.... everybody.. JIA YOU oh!! Gambate yo!!! hoping to see all of you becoming successful people one day... hahha

meanwhile, i'm still waiting for JPA....they are supposed to announce their results today... but till now there's no news.... haha... nevermind... i'm still waiting patiently...(oh.. is it?) hahha

ok.. that's it for now.. i still have a drama to catch... Woody Sambo..... hahha

take care and gb..:)

Yeeeeeeeeeeeouch!!!

of all times to be sick... why now? I'd been so healthy throughout this long stretch of holiday.... haiz... but now when i'm busy preparing to go to P.Pinang i'm having a cough... or is it the swine flu?... hahha.. joking lah...!! it's just a cough.. nothing serious..... hahhaha

well, these few days had been the busiest of all days for me and mum.. we went to a lot of places and did all sorts of things; buying all the stuffs that i need throughout my stay in P.P. this is the first time i spent my mum's money like turning on the tap.... when the water (money) just keep flowing on and on... hahha....

erm.. let's see... last wednesday, we went to plaza pelangi.... bought some books, a jigsaw frame and a snoopy 'BOLSTER' .... haha.. the next day, we went to Kotaraya to buy my baju kurung, after that walked to city square to buy long sleeve shirts at reject shop, bought another book, mum bought a bag for herself.... and i went on shopping for more stuffs..... i shan't elaborate here lah... hahha

seriously, i haven't started packing... i just dumped all those things i bought in the travelling bag....i'm currently busy assembling the jigsaw puzzle i bought the other day.. haha.....

something interesting tok place yesterday... haha.. it's the first time mum took my blood for testing.... i'd have avoided it if i could... but i can't because we need to fill in our blood group in the form given by KMPP. so, mum brought back the ''instruments'' needed .... and...

yesterday evening, i was ordered to sit down on a chair... mum took a glove, tied it around my arm.... asked me to hold my fist tightly..... then she took out the needle..... i was so nervous... :S..
i'm scared of pain....at first mum intended to take it from my left arm.... but the veins were so not visible....and i don't want her to 'tikam tikam'... you see...so, changed the 'target'... haha...
actually it's not that painful... or maybe it's because i sort of beg her to apply more alcohol before poking the needle through my skin.... hahha

after a minute or so... done!! phew..... i actually wanted to shout ''chop'' a few times.... but i didn't.. thinking that the faster it is,... the better it is.. hahha....

so, that's it for now... today's worker's day..!!

haiz.. which means another 8 more days......wait a minute... 8 MORE DAYS ???????!!!!

omg!! i haven't started packing!!!!!!!!!!!! it wasn't until now that i realise about that...........


ok. got to go.... bye.... gb

Heat waves.....

wow.. this few days had been sooooooooo hot... i seemed to be sweating every minute...

thank God it rained today..... finally....

went to Miss Chin's house today for class hour- where by her students, including me will perform one by one, a solo performance in front of everybody. Today's my second time, i skipped two class hours before this... wahaha...

my performance today was much better than the last... but i was still very nervous when it was my turn to perform.. my legs gone numb.. my hands were trembling that i can easily do a vibrato (in a wrong way lah) so the effect wasn't that good as the correct one... hahah.... my palms were sweaty that my bow nearly slipped off my fingers and i was still sweating away, despite the fan rotating on the ceiling right above my head......

Vienna woods by Johann Strauss..... that's what i presented... it doesn't sound like what i'd practised before.... haha.. due to stress and stage fright.. that's why i never agreed to register for violin exam... hahhaa

ok, as i'd mentioned before, i'm going to KMPP for matriculation courses....

Honestly, i haven't started packing... there's so much to bring that i'm lazy to packed them... haiz... plus the fact that i can't bear to leave my cosy home of 17++ years...... now, i'm going to an unfamiliar place... all alone... and it's up to me to make new friends and get myself used to the new lifestyle there.... here we go again.... if everybody can do it.. why can't i??? right??

it's been decided that me and mum will be going there on the 9th of May by bus.... none of the plans before this work.. hahhahah.... we planned to fly there by plane... but the airport is on the island... the college's on mainland... so, too far.... we planned to asked 5th aunt and her husband to drive us up.. but there wasn't any van available that weekend.... it's a wesak day that saturday.... we planned to take a choo choo train with first aunt... but that'll take a long time.... hahhaha... alas, mum found her companion... and both of them decided that we will take express bus..... and we'll be going on the 9th.. perhaps.... so that we can go 'kai kai' first before going for 'school'.. hahah

ok... that's the plan... tuesday, i'll be having my last violin lesson.... so sad... i've been learning for 2 and a half years already and am now making some progress..... haiz.... now i'm going to part with it..... boo hoo hoo.... and my piano too.... though i've stop learning it a few years ago.. but i still played it when i like to..... haha... after that, i'll have to Start Packing!!!!!!!!!!... this can't wait till the last minute.. right?? haha

that's it.. there's nothing more i can say.... taa taa... gb..

Not feeling any better.....

Well, today i ponteng-ed church....well it's not that i never ponteng....but it's because of this PIBG anugerah pelajar cemerlang thing... i bet i didn't let anyone know about this..hahhaa..i think so lah.. because i don't even feel like going in the first place....

That day, Thursday, Pn.Wendy gave me a 'surprise and unexpected call' ... she congratulated me once again for my spm results... and then told me about this anugerah pelajar cemerlang...under the PIBG banner at Dewan Jubli Intan..this Sunday..(which is today)....and then Pn.Suliyani will be there and blaa blaa blaa.... a letter was passed to me through my sister from pn.Gan....and was told to go there at 10.30am... i was so confused...and i don't even feel like going...

Ok, so today, i reached there at about 10.40am.... registered... went inside the dewan...listened to a talk meant for the AJKs of the schools' PIBG...after that Ishqi came...and then saw Ming Keat too.... In fact, the schools (SMKs) were supposed to choose 3 students who scored excellent results in SPM and 3 for PMR.... there's also prizes for those UPSR students too.... but it will be a hassle for me to elaborate much on this topic... even myself is confused about what's happening.... the event was soooooo...poorly organized that i wished that i'd not been present...

everyone of us were 'supposed' to go on stage to get a certificate and an envelope with RM50 inside.... but it ended up with Ishqi going up on stage.... and guess what he brought back to show us?? a certificate with a dotted line in the middle.. (where his name was supposed to be lah...but it was empty) hhaha.... and an envelope.... after that....those of us who hasn't got our certificate and $$ were supposed to go to a table at the side of the hall to retrieve the no-named certificate and the envelope of RM50...and much worse than this.... the people in charge were as confused and frustrated as we were....haiz.... can't they just give Ishqi 3 sets of certificates and envelopes when he went up ...since there wasn't any name on the certs....and envelopes....that would save the whole trouble.....!!! And because of this..... i'd wasted my whole morning.... i could have driven to church and come back already.....haiz...

since i'd to go to Danga City Mall, and mum needed to rush for work....i left the instance i got my cert and money...... wah sei..luckily it was RM50...not less than what we got from our school..at least i'm now RM50 richer...hahhaha...

Next destination: Danga City Mall.... for what??

BCSGJB- the breast cancer support group held a line dance session there.... and i'd been there to 'help' as a volunteer....konon... but before me and my sis started 'working' we went down for lunch first... ate mee rebus and had a cup of white coffee.... i'd started to feel the tiredness in me the moment i stepped into this place .... this always happens to me whenever i go to a shopping mall.... hahhaa....

So, after lunch...went to change..i was wearing baju kurung at first... haha...and i regretted wearing that shoe....it was the one i wore to the Taylors interview and it's still 'attacking' me.... sakitnya!!! i thought that i shouldn't be a problem..but i was incredbly wrong...haiz..bad day....

6th aunty gave me her camera and i was supposed to snap pictures.. that was easy... yay!! simple joc for me...because no matter how i snapped the scene's going to be the same.... people dancing lah...hahhaa.....so after taking a few shots..i went gallivanting the shopping mall..leaving my sis to deal with the video cam...wahahaha..

erm...actually this place used to be Best World..long time ago..i came here once that time..and remembered the A&W bear bear...hahhaha...awful incident...

there were shops on the first to fourth floor..i didn't dare explore the fifth....it was too scary... the place was so deserted.... there weren't many people...and in the shops except for the workers and the bosses.... just went to look see look see.... didn't buy anything except for another cup of ice nescafe....and after that i braced myself to explore that part of the mall that i haven't explored.... (before that i was scouting around the areas where the shops were open for bussiness)...OMG..it's eeeeeeeerie...imagining those shoplots....empty..the whole row.... i still wanted to see....maybe there's a shop open inside there....i continued to walk...bending to see into the next shoplot....and the others along the passage....all of them..those that i can see from where i was standing..were dark...no lights were turned on.. there's something looked like an air-conditioner (ceiling de)....and some of them has long woods..metal pieces on the floor.. looks like they were in the midst of some renovation....and no one was there... the air con above me blowing.....plus the ice nescafe in my hand....but i still wanted to see further...so brave...hahha....then......i saw... nothing...hhaha....the whole place was quiet....except for my footsteps....finally..overcome by fear....i walked as fast as i could..tried not to run....trotted away...i'd say...leaving the row of would-be shops....hahhaha....phew..my hands were cold...and i never dare go gallivanting through the same area on the other floors....

my legs were pain and achy due to that 'favourite' shoe of mine... hhaaha....i could walk no further...went to the place where i had my lunch and sat down.... after that received a call from 5th aunty asking me to accompany my sis on the second floor...she was still taking video....of the event....and i did my job by just staying there..hahha simple as that..wahahha....i;d actually finished my duty as the camera's batteries were worn out.... i went to bought some low quality ones and it didn't work for the camera.....haiz...my fault.....

so....here's my encounters for today....i guess i'm going to have nightmares of shopping centres....escalators...maybe lifts..and empty shoplots again tonight... dark dark......and imagine....a big, wide, shopping centre...with not so many people.....and the sounds of the worn out escalators....creak creak....

another thing....went for dinner, 5 of us.... after 2 failed attempts to find a place for dinner, finally, and luckily, we found a table available at Tmn. Pelangi's Agape....hahha....

ok...that's it..i don't want to go and rewind back those scary encounters i had today.... this is enough..hahhaha

gb.....take care
