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
