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...

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
