I got kicked out!

A long overdue post:

Since i've experienced the horrors of moving 3 times in 2 years, i have been kind of averse to moving ever since then... and to tell the truth, i wouldn't have wanted to move if i didnt have to, but too bad, good times must all come to an end~

lucky number 7 (G=Ground Floor, doubly lucky)

I actually really loved the room i stayed in while living in the college hostel.. It was cool, it was breezy, it smelt nice, it was not too near nor too far from the toilet, it was near the canteen, and near the shortcut to college.. Only thing i didn't really like was the grille at the window, cos it prevented me from sticking my head out the window.. but oh well, it was there for a reason anyway..

Before packing up..

After packing, so bare and sad huh??

Since i'm already typing, might as well tell you more about TAR College's hostel lah, for those who are interested.. 2 people are assigned to each room, and you cant choose the rooms you want, so it depends on yr luck which room you get.. However, you may choose yr room-mates, if the 2 of you check-in together then you'll be in the same room but you cant change rooms unless you don't have a room-mate and someone else in the same situation is willing to share a room with you, so choose wisely~

As for facilities, the furniture they provide is quite adequate lah, a nice large wardrobe, nice large desk and bed with a not quite bad mattress, in fact i felt it was very nice to sleep on, but depends in your own needs lah, cos some ppl still preferred to bring their own mattresses and a wastepaper-basket.. the toilets have to be shared but there are enough bathrooms and toilets for everyone (approximately 20 ppl on each floor, if all the rooms are full), and for me, i picked my favourites and only used the ones I liked, so that it felt like my own private toilet..

4 years stored in bags and boxes ;(

the mess created halfway through packing
(I packed until 3 something in the morning mind... 大工程!)

view from my window
(used to imagine that there will be eerie ppl sitting at the bench if i looked out at night, luckily that never happened, thank goodness... Never understood the need for a bench there!)

My floor.. Block C, Ground Floor

Female dormitory, MALES STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED!
(Bulls**t :D)

Shortcut to college

Road leading to my block
(Ok, i'm nostalgic~)

Many people cant stand living in the hostel, and even more people wonder how i could stand living there for so long cos we are not allowed to cook (unless we do it sneakily), no television (unless you hide it well), common toilets, lousy canteen food (who says you have to eat there everyday?!), no streamyx (the wireless is only for the most tolerant people), etc etc..

For me, there were a few reasons i never moved:
-near college, i would have skipped a hell lot of classes if i didnt stay next door to college..
-lazy to move, you know how difficult it is to move?
-more friends
-no need to wash toilets or take out the trash!
-i liked my room :D

hahhahahaha... I will really miss my old address eventho it was so long:
Room G07, Block C,
Tunku Abdul Rahman College Hostel,
Lot 2890 Jalan Malinja,
53000 Setapak,
Kuala Lumpur.

Goodbye to you my room~

Nostalgia, not nausea...

Flipping through some of my old old greeting cards received from friends aeons ago just now,and i realised the amount i receive keeps getting lesser and lesser.. Maybe its cause everyone is like me, lazy to send cards anymore.. but i think i just might revive this old habit next year, cos it does make you kind of happy when reading the messages that friends wrote personally for you isn't it..

Feeling nostalgic at the moment, you know how it is, friends are easy to make but hard to keep, you just can't help drifting away from each other when you move towards different goals or even to different places, and it takes a lot of effort to maintain a relationship.. I believe i am guilty of not contacting friends as often as i should, and i'm really sorry..

To all my friends, even if i dont contact you often, it really doesn't mean that i have forgotten you all, and i do hope that you all will also make an effort to contact me back, it really makes my day when someone whom i haven't seen or heard from in a long time takes the initiative to say hi and i feel really touched..

So to all my friends out there,
FRIENDS FOREVER!

Goodbye College~

So sad.. finally get to leave a place where i've been stuck at for almost 1/5 of my life and its kind of weird.. Never thought this day would arrive so soon.. Thank you to all the friends who have crossed my path since i entered college, and to some people whom i don't exactly consider as friends but have taught me lots all the same, thank you also for all the experiences that i could only experience while being a college student and for my ID card that has not been broken into half (hopefully i can still pass myself off as a student while watching movies, haha..)

I just realised that most of the people i now know, i actually only met during my college life, yeah... i used to be quite a loner in school last time, so only a few close friends.. So i really cherish the people that i got to know from the past few years, you know who you are people...

One regret is that i never really got to know all of my classmates, except for a few that i usually hang out with.. Sigh.. Hopefully, people will still remember who i am a few years down the road, to those who know me well, you all better keep in touch with me, or else... Hmm, or else what i don't really know (maybe haunt them after i'm dead?? Joking only k...)

Anyway, just to share, here are some of my class photos taken just recently- Advanced Diploma in Commerce- Business Management cum ICSA (Group 6), yaya i know, long ain't it~

Ooops, not ready yet

~perfect~

different position..

only 9 guys.. but 21 girls!

out under the hot sun

with our COM lecturer

Pasta time!

Being the procrastinator that i am, on Thursday, i hadnt even finished half my packing.. and my packing schedule was delayed even further cos i went to dinner with Ms Michelle and Ms Yee, hehehe.. Destination was actually 电话饭店 for steamboat, but by chance we ended up at Marco's Pizza at Kelana Jaya instead.. and as a sidenote, i really liked the toilet there :)

~mocha latte and hot chocolate~

~cappucino~

~Penne Alla Royale~
Sauteed chicken and wild mushrooms..

~Linguini Chicken Carbonara~

~Linguini Pollo Funghi~

~Bread and Butter Pudding~

~Creme Brulee~

The menu was one heck of a complicated one, but i managed to choose something that i liked very much, and penne is actually pronounced as 'penn-nee' hahaha not 'penn' as i tot... well, its someplace that i wouldnt mind going to again, cos i quite liked the ambiance.. incredibly, we managed to spend more than 3 hours there.. Gossiping is really a girls' forte lah, hehe..

The pics look a little dark, havent really gotten the hang of my camera yet, sigh... but back to the meal, the portions are really large and i was feeling jus a tad full already after the pasta, but we couldnt resist trying some desserts, hence the nice smooth creme brulee with a slightly crispy top layer and the scrumptious bread and butter pudding with strawberry and blueberries as topping, yummy! :)

In the end, i felt so stuffed and thus was quite miserable on the lrt.. cos i had a whole room waiting to be packed up later.. ended up packing late into the night.. but thats a different story for another day lah :*

Movietime~

Went for a movie today, with my parents, of all people.. They'll be the last parents on earth to criticise their kids for wasting money at the cinema now that they're addicted to the movie-going experience themselves, hehe.. :D but they still need to be trained a little on cinema etiquette (cue commenting on scenes loudly and forgetting to switch phone to silent..) >.<>

Anyways, today we watched Red Cliff Part 2, and its incredible how i am so poorly learned in the area of chinese history.. Here's a great big apology to my forefathers: SORRY! I actually thought that romance of the three kingdoms was an entirely fictional story.. and apart from the names of a few characters, i mean like who doesnt know who is 曹操 and 诸葛亮, i basically know nothing else about the story.. I actually skipped Red Cliff 1 as i thought it would be some slow moving draggy historical/ artistic film that would bore me to death.. but i had to watch the clip before going to the cinema otherwise i would have been lost..

Luckily i watched this movie in the end tho, cos it was quite well done..The story turned out to be more interesting than i thought.. and there's also a part that's kind of like Lust. Caution in Part 1, hahaha... I especially like Takeshi Kaneshiro in the role of the smart and brilliant master planner-诸葛亮 cos he could still be charming and funny eventho they were supposed to be at war... People who have had some education in Chinese will also see some familiar things such as the kong ming lantern and you will also see proof that football was invented in China... in fact, all the actors played their parts quite well, including model 林志玲 who was quite convincing in her role.. My only complaint is that HD (high definition) shows every flaw and blemish too clearly, until you get a little uncomfortable looking at Vicky Zhao's wrinkles or Tony Leung's pimples.. sigh.. but you cant get your cake and eat it too can you...

All in all, i quite liked this movie, so, go watch if you feel free during the chinese new year period lah~

The cat who changed our lives~ and its not Garfield :*

Throughout my life, many cats and come and gone.. This doesnt mean that i'm entirely a cat person lah, i actually like both cats and dogs but the weird thing is that my home seems to be a cat magnet, and whenever one leaves, there sure will be another one that cames and takes its place..

Quite a few years ago, this particular one came and showed us exactly how different he was from the many cats that have previously stayed in out home~ he even managed to get my dad (who is quite animal averse) to be quite fond of him, hehe... he came at a point of time when we had gotten so fed up of having had cats come and go all the time that we stopped giving them proper names.. from names like Tiger and Bunny (it had a cotton tail k..), we evolved and started calling him quite simply- Boy... :)

As a kitten

Even as a kitten, he was already quite smart i must say.. cos he was still so tiny when he came.. he managed to first get into my dad's good books by answering him whenever he called.. :D He's the only cat i know that understands english perfectly, hahaha.. like when we tell him to lie down or do tricks like 'spiderman', where he stretched himself against the wall.. My mum always says that his english level could be far better than some ppl she knows.. amazing~

~Few years ago, still young then~

young and kaypoh... with his friend who does have a proper name- Charlie, on account of his Charlie Chaplin moustache.. :) looking at an ant or something intead of at the camera~

He's cute when:

he's fast asleep with diff poses..

he brings all sorts of girlfriends home, hehe

he plays dead..

he fights with us for the newspaper (yeah he has to lie on it when someone is reading!)

and this kitty with a not very flattering colour was so lucky to meet him, hahahha...

their offspring--see why i said lucky?? all white and brown..

i'm not kidding, he sure knows how to pose... this was taken the day the kittens appeared.. and he looked so brooding that we kept saying that he was nervous at becoming a daddy.. hehe

Poser!

This is the latest pic i have of him.. and the reason i'm doing thispost is cos he went missing sometime ago, and i'm really kind of missing him at the moment... boohoo... hope he comes back soon.. the latest cats that have appeared (yea, new ones, told you my home attracts cats.. >.<) are not that friendly, and i want my ah boy back!! :*

i'll be leaving tomorrow~~

Ooo... i'm sooo glad.. i think i did all right for today's finance paper.. whee...

Desperately need a nap now... but before that, my classmate told me that i look darker today.. is it 印堂发黑??! Dang.. i need some explanation as to why i've been so unlucky recently lah... is it cos the obnoxious person i met that day was really a 小人??! Aaarghhh...

I want my voice back! Dunno why i have to sound so nasal whenever i get the sniffles... Some ppl have it all the time and you cant even tell they are sick man... must be cos i seldom get the flu so whenever i get it its always spectacular.. I still remember the coughing fit i had during one PMR paper that made me so embarrassed for disturbing the ppl in the same class~

Anyways.. need to clear out my room today before checking out tomorrow, so wish me luck! Ppl who know me, come give me a hand if you want.. maybe there are some of my stuff that you would like to have since i should be throwing away some things... limited car space :(

Payback period... + only 3 days left...

I wonder.. Have i owed lots of favours during 2008?? or have i met with some 小人 lately?! Or is it cos i havent been sick yet this year so now its payback time?? my lunar year end has been fraught with disaster... Hope its got to do with the lunar year end and not beginning of 2009 tho, if not, i predict that i will have a very miserable year 2009 ahead!! cos ppl always say how yr year starts shows yr overall luck during the year~ :*

What do i mean?? Well, i have had super bad luck starting from 2 weeks ago.. First i got severe food poisoning, which gave me the runs for one whole week.. never had it so serious before my whole life.. 衰！then now, all of a sudden, out from nowhere, I've suddenly caught the flu.. what the heck, no one near me has been sick, i have been sleeping early recently cos of exams, and I've been eating all 3 meals at the correct time, so how come all of a sudden can fall sick?! you tell me... oh ya, and i also have a large swollen bump on my right calf which hurts when i even as brush it >.<

All year round, i didn't catch the virus even when half the class was sick.. So where the hell did this flu bug come from??! Feel so pathetic now.. Really payback time for me.. warning, sob story: Couldn't fall asleep last night cos of a scratchy throat and a blocked nose, boohoo... even my usual saviour, Fisherman's Friend couldn't help ;( and whats worse, talking abt payback period, finance exam tomorrow.. God help me!!!

2009, no good for me??? Waaa...

4 days left..

Just finished my corporate administration paper today.. yikes, at least 8 marks gone.. result of not reading the headings to my notes.. READ THE HEADINGS! cos turns out i knew the answers but i dint know that they were supposed into the question, bleurghh... and the answers i wrote, hahahhaha.. lets just say, the lecturer should be laughing her head off (i always try to answer every question and make up my own stories as i go), nevermind lah, bring some joy into her boring life.. i'm 'kind' like that~

So i'm off for some last minute cramming for my finance paper on thursday... wish me luck people~ and pray that i dont cry when its time to check out from my humble abode 4 days from now... :D

Counting down-- 5 days~

Sigh... 5 days before i am due to move out from my room.. where i've stayed for almost 4 years.. getting a bit nostalgic... eventho its not the best place to stay, but i really like my room.. ;( will miss you room~

exam tomorrow.. gotta go study now.. sob sob.. ;(

Just thinking about life...

Yesterday, i typed the name of a friend in the google search box (his name is quite distinctive..) and to my amazement, people have written about him! Turns out he's been doing some charity lately.. Hmm, thats so good... and now i'm wondering, how do some ppl find their life's meaning so easily... cos i'm thinking that now is the time that i should be contributing to society, but i have absolutely no idea about what i should be doing! Anyone can give me some ideas?? or recruit me on some programmes?? cos i dont feel like wasting the prime years of my life just sitting around not doing anything.. Some ideas please??

***********************************************************************

Anyways, do you know the feeling when you get an unexpected postcard or letter in the mail.. all surprised and happy.. or you're poking around online and you find something unexpected and end up smiling inwardly.. ok, or outwardly also can, if no-one else is around... :P hahahaha.. what am i going on and on about you say..

Well, i just realised yesterday that the music video of a song that i like very much recently is finally out~ 梁静茹-没有如果.. heehee... omg, check out the video, its so cute!!! and the nerd (a.k.a lead actor in the video) is absolutely CUTE! if you know me well, i think you may have an inkling of who it may be.. hahahha.. someone i've been kind of crazy over recently... (where got nerd with so nice body wan i say...)



So, heres a short summary if you cant quite catch the storyline..
nice girl who works part-time at a fast-food joint and florists has a hobby of setting couples up but fails to set herself up with a guy she fancies, cos he's too blur/ shy to realise her feelings for him.. and after a chance meeting after some time, she decides to go all out and make her feelings known to him and asks him to '牵起我的手'.. :) but the way they act it out just makes you want to sigh.. aaahh.. so cute lah...

Theres some negative news about this song, saying that its a rip-off of a Japanese song (i've had it as my *flavour of the week* before..), which is Soba Ni Iru Ne --- Thelma Aoyama Feat. SoulJa or 青山テルマFeat. Soulja- そばにいるね, if you can read that, haha... which is a nice song..

Soba ni Iru ne feat. SoulJa - Thelma Aoyama

but, in my very honest opinion, i did feel the song sounded similar to this one,but not to the extent of copying it i think... with so many melodies being written everyday, theres definitely a chance of different people writing similar things eventually.. yup, this is something i have thought about before, haha.. when i'm too free i like to imagine.. what if one day, people have used up all the different combinations of melodies?? as long as it sounds good, why bother so much..no need to accuse people of copying and this and that, keep life simple i say!
