I'M BAAACCCCKKKK!

Haha.

The reason for the lack of updates' because I was sick a coupla weeks ago, thus the whole urge to surf the net diminished at a rather alarming rate. But Jude forced me to write an update or he would not eat for the next two weeks...Kononnye. 

Anyhoo, nothing much has happened. Apart from the whole getting fever, and puking and nearly fainting and total lack of interest in food (I saw food also, felt like puking. Serious gila boleh kurus macam ni!) and coughing like mad thingies....I WENT HOME!

Just needed to recuperate with the family. Really glad I went home. I was emotionally drained and so were a few of my friends. So, we decided to skip Mr Ben's lecture and cabut lari back to our respective hometowns. Besides, last weekend was the only time we could go back because starting from next week, presentations and midterms and assignments will be waiting for us. 

Home was fun. Went back with the sister and the father. The first time in ages we were all back at home TOGETHER. I just realised that with my bro going off this month, the chances of the three of us being at home together have actually disappeared. Sad case betul! 

Went to watch Transformers with the sibs. AWESOMENESS! Great actors (Peter Cullen brought back memories of old Optimus Prime. Jon Voight was gorgeous! I fell in love with his character) great script, great audio, great visuals! A must watch for those who grew up watching Transformers. Best gila tak tau nak cakap ape.

And then, did some retail therapy. Actually, it was for the brother who's going off on the 17th. His shirts must not have anything written on it. Gila mampus nak cari kat JJ. But he bought two in the end. I had to practically play "mum" and forced him to try on the shirts. So dictator - like. My sister of course was laughing at me because she said I so sound like my mum. *bluek* But my brother kan very the handsome gila pakai the shirts. So proud of him! And then my sis and I bought another shirt for him as a present for him la since he nak masuk kolej. We are nice people. Haha. 

Lepas tu we went to Ah Seong's place. Bought Goal II and Ocean's 13! If anyone of you do not know what the Goal trilogy is about, I suggest you go bang your head on the wall. And please make sure you have a concussion. Now, waiting for The Bourne Ultimatum pulak. 

And now, after all the fun in Ipoh, I am back in PJ. The homesickness is gone. Now, more semangat wanna finish my sem. I have PR midterm on Monday and I still have two chapters to go. So, I'll be locking myself in my room tomorrow to finish up the chapters.

Classes have been okay so far. PR5 members are still getting to know each other eventhough we are already halfway through our first sem. I found out people I used to hate in Foundation are actually nice people and I am less irritated with them now. The tutorials are of course a bit hectic. Discussions are held everytime that sometimes I get sick of talking. Presentations in tutorials are also becoming more of a trend right now. Mr GV's trying to scare us with stories about our upcoming final year project (We haven't even finished our first sem and he's already talking about final year projects!) He is also trying to cultivate the reading culture in our class so he has us read six books at a time...I tell you, all the pressure's coming from him.

Oooohhhh, two good news! First one, Mr GV said that when we are in our final year, he will pick two of the top students to become mentees to this Mr Raymond something, who is the CEO of this advertising company. He hopes that by the time we are in our third year, UTAR'll be able to get more mentors. I really hope that I will get it though. I know I know, a wee bit ambitious but you know what, it'll be a good opportunity. Learning about the whole business. Going to meetings with him, see how he attends to his clients and all. Good resume material.

Secondly, we had our Student Council Election last week and JONATHAN WONNNNNNNNN! Technically, I do not know him personally but I have seen him around every Tuesday because his class is just right next to mine. Usually I will be sitting with Sze Yi in front of the Internet lab, waiting for the technician to unlock the doors and he will also be there waiting for the Mac lab to open. From what I see la kan he deserved the victory. I mean, out of the six nominees, he was the only one I saw walking around the campus handing out his manifestos, greeting the students, talking to them etc. While the other five totally disappeared. Okay la, I saw Nicholas ONCE. Sitting at his booth, dressed nicely (of course) and listening to music. And then when they announced that Jonathan won, the DSA(aka Nicholas' cronies) people were shocked that Nicholas lost. And then Bee Bee told me that the DSA people were so angry that they actually were seen in the DSA office cutting pictures of Jonathan. Eh, childish some more can?! Pffftttttt...

And before I go off, I have to tell you people this. Remember my disastrous student ID? The one where they misspelled my name and I nearly wanted to just pijak them there and then until they told me I can get my ID the week after that? Guess what?!

It has been two weeks and no ID. UTAR ni efficient gile I tell you!

(P/S : Jude, satisfied?!)

I have discovered that Intro to Mass Comm is actually, I can't believe I am actually going to say this, interesting.

 Today, we got to watch a few movies for about half an hour each. Mr Ben was trying to get us to name the actors' names to prove the TV has some kind of power over us. Unfortunately, one of the movie he made us watch was Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham (spelling betul ke?!) which was absolutely long.

Apart from that, what made the class interesting was Prince Chubby. He cut his hair and spiked it. So, I have decided to upgrade him from adorable to gorgeous. Actually, I realised there's something wrong with his whole gang today, they have all spiked their hair and are wearing black. Don't know la, maybe got a party or something after this...SO not a party without me!

Anyhoo, a classmate of mine is getting married today. I don't know if I should believe it or laugh. Apparently, she SMS-ed Kelvin and told him that she won't be coming to class today because she is getting married and at that moment in time, she couldn't talk because she was in the photography studio, getting a wedding picture. And also, it seemed she called Kelvin and told him that yesterday, she tried on wedding dresses.

Mr Ben : *calling my friend's (the one who is supposedly getting married today) name*
Me : *whispering* She is not here sir. She is getting married today. *looked at Sze Yi and Kelvin and we all started laughing hysterically*

I guess we will hear the whole story on Monday. 

And then, after all the laughter died down, I got this SMS.

"Sayang, I am at UTAR's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. My cousin's getting married at the church behind the building. I wanna see you."

Guess from who? Guessguessguess!

It was from AZUAN!

Ahhhhhhhhh, miss him like crazy! One of my bestestbestestbestest guy friend. Got to see him for like 15 minutes because the wedding was about to start. So, most probably will meet him in two weeks time when he comes back to PJ. Go shopping with him. I tell you, one of the best people to go shopping with would be him. The whole trip will be totally stress free and fun!

Okay, enough about that. Now, I have an announcement to make. On the 22nd July 2007, I will be off to Gunung Nuang, Selangor for a hiking cum clean up project organised by the Ananda Marga Yoga Society, PJ. Apparently, some bigshot minister from God knows what Minstry will be there to officiate the whole thing and they are anticipating over 1000 participants from various associations and colleges. *cough* KDU *cough* people will be there. According to Wen Chiann, a lot of seriously hot guys are in KDU. The truth of that fact will only be known on the 22nd July 2007.

What else ah?! Oh yeah, I have to say this. People, let it be known that UTAR and UNITAR are two very different institutions. UTAR is actually Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman whereas UNITAR is Universiti Tun Abdul Razak. 

I am in UTAR and NOT UNITAR.

UTAR has campuses in PJ, Kampar, Sg Long and Setapak. UNITAR, however has (as far as I know) a building that acts as their campus in some ulu place. 

Please don't come and tell me that you went to UNITAR and thought of calling me but you figureed I was too busy or that you are at UNITAR and you would like to see me. I smack you baru tau!

 And lastly. why do guys think that catcalls and whistles are flattering to girls? Eh, insulting okay! What, you think I am some cheap whore that will swoon at your smelly feet the moment you go, "Phewit! Hai cik adik! Boleh berkenalan?"?!

EH TOLONG LAAAA, takde keje ke?!

My mum called yesterday while I was lepaking at this stall with Chicken and Sze Yi. She told me that she is going to sell her handphone to my bro's friend and buy herself the W910. Then she said that now she has to convince my father that she has to change her handphone for what is going to be about the fifth time. And then you know what she said?

"Kak ngah pujuk la papa, suruh papa beli the phone untuk mama."

Eh, why ah people will come to me when persuasion's involved?

For example, whenever the sibs and I wanna go out, they will both tell me "to go tell papa that we are going out and ask for money".

Once, in school, Hsiao practically pushed me through the Staff Room door to ask Mr Wong if it was okay for us to remove one of his beloved potted plant to the edge of the stage because it was blocking people's way.

So now, am I a good negotiator or persuader(got ah such word?)? 

Takpelah, good practise for my PR career, kan?!

I woke up this morning at 9 a.m. with every intention of doing some last minute studying for my PR midterm today but I got distracted.

So after some printing and surfing the net done, I went into the bathroom to take a shower and I turned on the water pipe and water trickled down. Then I turned on the water pipe at the sink, nothing. Then, as desperation got to me, I turned on the shower head, NOTHING!

HOW LA NO WATER?! TAKKAN WANNA GO TO CLASS DENGAN TAK MANDINYER AND TAK GOSOK GIGI!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

I want to roll under my bed and hide there for the next three years.

I want to change my name and go under the Witness Protection Program.

I want Geeta to perform plastic surgery on me and transform me into Jennifer Aniston.

I want to change my appearance and throw away my Cheetah shirt.

I don't ever want to see Myels again.

OH THE HUMILIATIOOONNNNNNNN!

Elaboration: Today, *toot* SMS - ed me and told me to book PC201 for Yoga practise which is to be held this Wednesday. So, I went to the DSA with Sze Yi, both of us thinking aloud if there is going to be any venues available since it is already too late to be booking any venues. This is because, PC houses a lot of student activities ranging from course based ones such as Mass Comm Society, Chinese Studies Society to non course based ones like the Photography Society to general based ones like Yoga Society unlike in PD where the only other active society besides Yoga was Chinese Studies. So, back when we were in PD, we never actually had to play tug - of - war with them to rebut any rooms. Thus, it was okay la back then to book a day before your respective activity.

I went inside the DSA office and told Myels that I want to book a venue for our Yoga Society for this Wednesday and his face totally changed. Then I told him that *toot* only told me to book the venue today (because she wasn't in PC today) and finally he got up and went to get the form. I felt a little bit relieved because his face looked a bit more relaxed so I thought he was okay already la.

How wrong could I be?

After signing the said paper, Ms Sum (the DSA head) asked why Myels looked super angry so Myers decided to enlighten her with a story in Mandarin (I got the whole story from Sze Yi who came in a little bit later and eavesdropped) And then, of course la since I don't understand Mandarin, I was obviously oblivious to whatever they were talking about and was happily gushing over Alex who had just walked out of the office. After enlightening Ms Sum with the story, Myers walked out (actually, he stormed out of the room but again, I was too stoned to realise anything)of the room and went into the General Office. I thought he was going to get Jolene's signature but Sze Yi said he was going to check if there is any room available for us or not. He came out of the General Office and without looking at me or stopping, he practically flung the paper at me, said "No rooms available" and proceeded to storm into his room. And then only did Sze Yi tell me the story he told Ms Sum.

The story: Last week, there was a little bit of misunderstanding over the booking of PC201 between our society and another society. Both *toot* and the person in charge of the other society claimed they booked the venue and had gotten approvals from Myels. So, *toot* went to see Myers to settle the problem. Somehow along the way, (Sze Yi and I suspected that...) *toot* was heard by someone to be calling Myers "stupid" (and he found out about it)after he already helped us by getting us another venue to practise Yoga. So, Myels got super angry with someone(We suspect *toot* la but not sure sangat) from the Yoga Society for being very ungrateful. Yalah, dah penat tolong orang lepas tu kene panggil bodoh pulak. Sape tak marah kan?!

So, right now, I have a feeling that after today's incident, he despises, loathes, hates dan yang sewaktu dengannye the Yoga Society committee members.

The thing is, *toot* may not be affected by this because she doesn't have to liaise with Myels but Sze Yi and I do! For three years some more!

I don't know what to say la wei. Sze Yi and I are both annoyed with *toot* and feel really bad for Myers for the way he was treated.

I feel like sending him a huge bouquet of flowers tau....

I was talking with Sze Yi when Anne came over and at the same time, this not so bad looking guy walked down from the 2nd floor towards us.

Anne : *whispering something to Amrit*
Me : What are you people whispering about?
Anne : That guy just know, HOT right?
Me : *giving her a weird look* I will say he is quite good looking but I wouldn't say he's hot la.Besides, you go look so far for what? In our class also got hot guys what.
Anne : Yeah, like Mun Kit here. *pointing to Mun Kit who just joined us*
Mun Kit : I'm not hot la.
Me : Eh, true. You know, I once told Mun Kit that he's hot and he said he isn't. So I asked him why and then, Mun Kit, show them what you did.
Mun Kit : *inflating his nostrils*
Anne : EEEEEWWWWW! Gross. Okay, you're off the "Hot Guys" list.

And then Sunny came:
Me : Eh, Sunny also not bad what.
Anne : Yeah, Sunny's hot.
Mun Kit : *playfully tugging on Sunny's bag's strap* Sunny cannot. He is mine!
Sunny : Eeewwww! Get off me!
Me & Anne : Eeeewww, you people! We don't know you *pointing to Sunny* and you *pointing to Mun Kit*
Sunny : BUT I KNOW YOU AH CTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
Me : I AM NOT CTTTTTT! You got the wrong person!

I tell you, I am falling in love with my classmates more and more each day.

Later, before GV's class.

Anne : *screaming* CTTTTTT!
Me : Are you, like, trying to announce my name to the whole class?
Anne : Yeah. *starts screaming my name again*
Me : Actually, you don't need to do that. You just go to that guy *pointing to Prince Chubby* and tell him my name, okay?!

Prince Chubby is getting more and more and more and more and more and more adorable + gorgeous = adorgeous each day! Everyday the temptation to go up to him and pinch his chubby cheeks is getting more and more stronger! Haha.

On a very different note, my dearest Pengajian Malaysia lecturer has once again managed to raise the ire of the PR students.

He returned our written reports and asked us to redo them. He told us before we passed up the report weeks ago that there were no specific format for them and yet today, he wrote in each and every one of the report that the acceptable format for academic writing is using the double spacing.

And then some more, if you see our written reports, they are littered with his scribbles. All our hard works....

I was just about to start liking him and now....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Random.

Your dramas are getting more and more ridiculous.

FYI, people are getting sick of them.

I'm in PD right now. Came to certify my documents but the DSA officer said that they can only certify next week. So today, I have to face Myels and get my documents certified. Wheeeeeee~! NOT!

I'm currently waiting for sze Yi to finish typing Yoga's minutes hence the wasting-my-time-surfing-the-net activity I'm doing right now.

A lot of things are going through my mind. Apart from the assignments and tests, there's the Pengajian Malaysia report we have to redo. I have a midterm next Saturday. Presentations will be starting two weeks from now and from then on, I will be busy I don't think I can cabut lari to Ipoh.

And then there is this things my friend said yesterday. Babe, you're right, someone SHOULD kick some sense into her head. But who is willing to do it? I have long washed my hands off her and I intend to keep it that way.

Then, there's the fact that, I can't believe I am actually going to say this, I miss Danny. Entahlah, I feel like I have lost a friend. I haven't spoken to him in aaaaaaggggeeessss. I actually miss his sarcasms and provocations. I miss the times we'd spent downstairs at the cafe talking about his crush for this girl, about MY Marco (haha), about our lecturers, his frustrations over the fact that I am totally technology ignorant (LOL) and my frustrations over his bitterness towards a girl in his class.

Wei DatuK, come back PJ la! Even if it's for a day, I want to catch up with you weeeiiii!

And then, I want to go back Ipoh because LINGY OWES ME A MEAL!

Haha. Must write bigger to get her attention lest she forgot. I want the most expensive food okay darling?! Haha.

See, CT started crapping already. I am rotting here weiii! Gila boring! I want to study Mass Comm also like no mood. Today's Kelvin's birthday some more. He will be holding a birthday party this weekend, Saturday's for PR5 and Sunday's for TB12. Sze Yi and I are of course going for both days. And the best part is, Mr Boo offered to drive us there and back to MC. He even told Sze Yi and I "Eh, if you people wanna go out, just tell me okay?! I will drive you there." Now, it may not seem like a big deal to you people out there but it is to both Sze Yi and I because TB12 guys used to be useless when it comes to helping us and they never bothered offering to help us. And now, out of the blue, Mr Boo has totally changed. He offered to send Sze Yi and her sister to Mid Valley and pick them up. He even offered to accompany Sze Yi and I to Low Yatt to check out laptop quotations for Sze Yi. Waiseh, total turnaround okay!

Whatever pun I can't wait to meet up with the rest of the TB12 this Sunday. Mesti havoc I tell you!

:D

To my babe, Hsiao Hsiao yang tengah dekat rumah enjoying her hols with Durga,

~ Happy 19th Birthday! ~

*I love you much and I will see you in November!*

and

To Kelvin who blushes very easily I think it is adorable,

~ Happy 21st Birthday! ~

* I will see you this weekend and rest assured, we will bring down the house baybeeeeee! Haha *

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tak tau kenape, but I just got back from campus and without changing or taking a shower, I just switched on my laptop and am currently very determined to find Mr Mohd Nazmi Azim Bin Mohd Kamal, my very very very very very first best friend. Lucky thing my sister still keeps in touch with his sister, so at least easier la kan wanna find him.

Anyways, today Sze Yi and I did a great deal of traveling. From block to block that is. From PG to PC, then we took a cab to PD. Then after dealing with the DSA officers there, took a cab back to PC. Certified our documents (Thank GOD the person, who shall be known as Small Gas from now on, I didn't wanna see wasn't there)

Here, I have to tell you a story. Most UTARians are rude, insensitive, they-deserve-to-be-smacked-by-me people. I tell you, they were not lining up, they stepped on people's toes and had the nerve to look at you and look away, they push you to the point of squishing you against the person in front and when you ask them to move a step behind they'll do it and then five minutes later, when the line moved, they'll push you against the person in front again. Getting out of the DSA office was even more torturous than getting in. I wasn't helped by my classmates at all as they were distracting me by calling my name and asking me why it took me so long to certify my documents. I tell you, by the time I managed to extract myself from the mob, I was actually sweating.

And now I think most of UTAR knows my name no thanks to Anne, Mun Kit, Sunny and Amrit. And Evon who shouted my name while we were in a very small, cramped DSA office. Everyone turned to me tau when she called my name. Malunyer sayeeeee!

And before I got into the office, Amrit called out my name and waved. Okay la she called out my name softly so only a couple of people turned. But these Sunny and Anne and Mun Kit ahhh, "CT! CT! CT! CT! CTTTTTTT!!!!!!" Rase macam celebrity pun ade jugak. But so pai seh la! People were looking at me tau.

Now I am off to bed. I know I know, very the early. But I am tired and I have an 8 a.m. class tomorrow....ARRGGHHHHH!

sacred_raven

I once mentioned that I have the coolest tutors in the world right?

Well now, I can add INSANE to the list too. Particularly Ms Liana.

Sze Yi and I got to Mass Comm tutorial 5 minutes before tutorial as we had been strolling through the morning market, searching for breakfast, and we saw Ms Liana sitting at her table quietly, playing with her handphone which was unusual itself because she is this bubbly person that comes into class with a huge smile. But today, she looked tired and so I told her that and she nodded in agreement.

Then, she took our attendance and when she saw like only a quarter of us were there, she shook her head in disapproval and told us that we would wait for the others to come before we start. After that, when she finally started, she told us to do our tutorial QUIETLY. Again, that was surprising because usually she'll ask us to get into our groups and start discussing the questions with this ONE and only rule she has that is we have to make as much noise as possible.

So, for the first time since tutorial started PR5 was unusually quiet. After ten minutes, she asked us to stop writing, then:

Ms Liana : So, I want to ask you. Which one do you prefer, the old Ms Liana or the new Ms Liana?

And since everybody thought that she was in a bad mood, nobody dared to answer.

Ms Liana : *sternly* Class! I asked you a question! Which one do you prefer, the old Ms Liana or the new one?
Kyle, Me, Anne and Sze Yi : The old oneeeee!
Ms Liana : Oh thank GOD! *slumps onto her table* I cannot tahan being like this. You know, I wanted to play a joke on you guys, see how you react to a stern Ms Liana. Now, you can all make noise. *pointing to Lai Mun* You kept smiling at me just now...
Lai Mun : Yeah. I was trying to make you laugh or at least smile.
Ms Liana : Aiyo, I was telling myself, "Jangan senyum. Jangan senyum. Jangan senyum." I wanted to smile also had to bite my lips.

I tell you ah, nasib baik she is my tutor tau.....

Thanks to her, I think her insanity kinda rubbed off on us. I mean, the whole of PR5 went kind of crazy.

Mrs Tan : *explaining about the Magic Bullet Theory* So if I shoot the magic bullet at CT..
Kyle : Then CT will die.
Me: OY! Cursing me ka?
Mrs Tan : *after explaining about the effects of the magic bullet on me, she moved on to Kyle* And the same thing will happen if I shoot Kyle with the magic bullet..
Me : HAH! Kyle, then you'll die too!
Kyle : That's okay. I've got you to accompany me. HEY! We should come back and haunt these guys!

Then, Mrs Tan had this brilliant idea of asking each group to go in front and instead of explain about our parts she insisted on us holding a press conference and the audience will ask questions about their parts and brilliant Kyle will ALWAYS ask each group the same question:

Kyle : *to Mun Kit's group* Why is it called the Magic Bullet Theory?

or

Kyle : Why Two - Step Theory? Why not Three? Or Four maybe?

I swear if next week he asks my group, "Why is it called the Media Dependency Theory?" and "How come it is called the Cultivation Theory?" I'll step on his shoes! (I can't punch him or smack him because he is heeeeuuuuggggeeeeeeeeeeee!)

Sometimes I do feel like I can't keep up with their wittiness and sarcasms but I am glad that we are finally coming together as a group. Late as it may be but hey, better late than never right?!

Okay, I am officially the happiest person on earth!

I FOUND NAZMI ON FRIENDSTER!

Haha. SO happy okay!

I messaged him through Friendster with every hope that he will reply but at the same time I was kinda scared that he will ignore the message or freak out by this message from some stranger claiming to be his childhood friend.

BUT he replied! And he actually remembers me! He remembers that I was the girl whom everyone referred to as "Kak Ngah" and my sister is "Kak Long" and I have a younger brother.

The feeling is indescribable. I tell you, finding your childhood friend after all these years is well, exhilarating. He still looks the same and looking at a picture of his mum, waiseh, rindu Auntie Wan!

Okaylah, people might be wondering what's so exciting about finding an old friend. Thing is, we did everything together back then. We went to mengaji classes together, we went kindy and we acted in the same play (I was a flower. Haha. Got pictures some more okay) and we hung out at each others place when our mums go out with Kak Dira and my sister as our babysitters. Back then, Kak Dira and my sis were a pair, Nazmi and I were another and Najihah and my bro were the last pair. We were basically inseparable. 

Finding him brings back a lot of memories tau and it is SO nice!

I can't stop smiling. Haha.

Anne : *referring to Kelvin's party today* You all going ah?

Nods from Sze Yi & Chee Kei and a "No" from me.

Anne : CT! Why?! You wear so nice some more!
Me : I've a date later.
Anne : *getting interested* With WHO?!
Me : *amused* Got la. Can't tell you, later you mengorat him. HOW?!
Anne : Eh, from UTAR ah?! Tell la tell la!!

Just as she was sitting down to drag the whole truth about my non existent boyfriend;

Me : I don't have a boyfriend la.
Anne : Don't lie. Tell la.

And then she caught Sze Yi looking to the back, searching for Prince Chubby.

Anne : Sze Yi, who are you looking at?
Sze Yi : *looking at me* Aih, just tell her la. No harm also.
Me : *pointing to Prince Chubby* See that guy? I am going on a "date" with him later..
Anne : Wei, he is HOT!
Me : *looking at Anne*
Anne : I am serious! I think he is hot! Have always thought so.

Haha. Kinda surprised hearing that coming from her. Yeah, Prince Chubby is hot la. Have to admit. I told my sister his name in front of the parental units and the bro and the father snorted when he heard Prince Chubby's name. Ish!

Anyways, talked to Anne today and found out that she doesn't like someone in my class whom I also do not like and whom half of UTAR (I am exaggerating of course but to be fair, a lot of people have the same feeling towards this particular girl) also do not like. When she found out that we both share the same feeling about this girl, she went;

"CT! You are DA BOMB!"
 "I know. Only you realised it seven weeks to late."

I know I know, perasannye!

Then after class, PR5 held this small meeting outside PC203 to discuss how to get to Kelvin's place. Since we had two drivers there, one of the car will be going to get the cake and the other one will head straight to Kelvin's place. Then right, I saw Prince Chubby standing near PR 5 tau listening intently to the discussion and then I came to this realisation that he will be dropping off Mr F at Kelvin's place! 

Aiseh, I should have gone to the party right? Mana tau can naik his car ke....

Anyhoo, missed Kelvin's party because the family came down. Notice I didn't say the parents because the brother actually came along with them. Shocked la jugak kan. I wanted to enter the car when I saw these endlessly long legs resting nicely on the box between the two front seats and then I know already la whose legs those belong to. Yelah, siape lagi in my family yang about 12 feet tall and is as skinny as the next anorexic model? Eh serious okay, my brother, bloody skinny! I tell you, he drinks ten bottles of Appeton pun, gerenti tak berkesan!

 Outing with the family had always and will always be fun. We passed by Nagoya and I asked my parents if we can start looking for baju raya and the father gave the nod. I decided on red as our official colour so my sister and I went looking for cloths with the bro in tow. Found already okay then the mother came and showed me this green coloured cloth so we all had to change our official colour from red to green. Last year green, this year also green. Ish. Most probably will make a kebarung for myself. The sister told me to do a kebaya but I told her, "Do I look like I have the body for it?" and the mother said "Yes". So after arguing a bit, we decided on me getting a kebarung which is a more loose version of the kebaya.

 Then we stopped by a few shoe shops, found cute shoes but tak beli and then everytime we came out from the shops, my dad will go, "La, tak beli pun!" and my sis will go, "Ngah, papa nak kite beli kasut setiap kali kite masuk kedai kasut" Correct la kan?!  If not, he wouldn't say like that right? And then we were also looking for slippers for the brother. Found a few but he refused to even look at them until I pointed to a pair of pink ones with butterflies on it. Haha. He likes pink okay. Sounds gay but then again, as cliched as it may sound, it takes a man to wear pink.

 Lepas tu I saw this small shop at the side of the escalator that sells purses and handbags so I told my mum who was actually looking for a new purse. In the midst of the haggling and all, my dad tapped me on the shoulder and showed me this gorgeous Esprit handbag and asked me if I wanted it. Wei, nasib baik tak pengsan there ohkay! People offered nicely, must buy la kan?! So yeah, Harry Potter outing nanti kan Long, I'll use it tau!

The handbag stayed stuffed into the plastic bag and everyone was asking why I wasn't using it.

Me : Okay, that was the fifth time. The person who asked the same question for the tenth time will get a whack from me.
Bro : Why aren't you using the bag?
Mama : Why aren't you using the bag?
Me : That's the seventh time.
Mama : *for the next three times* Why aren't you using the bag?
Me : *looking at the sis* Aiseh, it's mama la. How? Cannot whack her also.
Bro : I thought you said you are going to whack the person who asked the same question for the tenth time?
Mama : You think she dares whack me ke? Haha.
Sis : I know! *grabbing my hand which was holding the rolled up Sony Ericsson newsletter* You do like this. *gives my mum a gentle tap*

My family so comel okay!

Oh, my mum finally bought a new handphone. A blue Z610i. So the trip to Cyberjaya to pick up my sister was wasted by abusing her new handphone by making unnecessary 3G calls to my dad who was driving.

And then my mum told me and my sister this story about my brother and my father. I am so glad that they are finally bonding. They are so double the kecomelan! 

Haha.

She said she doesn't like you and you can go die?!

MBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You, babes, have been hit by karma. Yep, you read right. K - A - R - M - A finally got to you.

So here's to all the times you spent hurting girls and treating them like dirt and here's to the girl who kicked your balls, spat on you and deflated your size 60 ego, cheers!

Rasekan!

And yeah, don't forget to give me the girl's name and address. I wanna send her flowers.

(P/S : I know I know, childish right?! But I don't mind being childish when it comes to you. You deserved it, jerk!)

(PP/S : Updates on Kelvin's party tomorrow. I.Need.To.Sleep)

sacred_raven

Lemme get this outta the way first.

I have two new roomies. A Nor and a Wany. Both MAHSA students. Both from up north so my room is filled with the utagha slang. Haha.

They are okay so far. It is terribly cute to watch them getting all hyped up for tomorrow's orientation and then get all nervous, all in the space of two minutes.

So, yeah, I am the big sister in the room. Euuugggghhhhhhhhh~! Times like this I wish for Kak Syam and Kak Ima. You know, back then, they manja-fied me ohkay! So fun! Haha.

Anyways, now updates on Kelvin's birthday bash. It all started with Mr Boo and Balan picking me up from MC and the we headed to 1 Utama to get Kelvin's present.

Mr Boo was all excited to go there because Fabian (from Fly aka as his classmate) will be there, hosting some OSIM thingy. So naturally, Balan and I just had to meet the guy(FYI, me no likey him) and I was dying to just well get rid of him. Luckily Balan was there, so he did this marvelous job accompanying me searching for the present while we let Fabian and Mr Boo go anywhere they like. After a while, Fabian had to get back to his emceeing thingy, so thank God la kan. Anyways, continued our search for Kelvin's present and finally stopped at Radioactive and got him this sling bag. 

Then, since the guys wanted to be punctual, we got out of 1U at 4.30p.m and headed straight to Jasmine Towers and arrived there at 5.15p.m. to find out that Kelvin was sleeping. So since we were the earliest there, had to help him get the food ready la. Eh wait, let me rephrase that. Since we were the earliest there, I had to help him get the food ready la. The guys didn't lift a finger langsung! I can forgive Mr Boo la because at least he drove us there but that Balan, he was doing nothing tau. I push him into the pool baru tau!

Anyways, while waiting for the eggs(for the egg sandwiches) to boil, watched Emperor's New School with Mr Boo after shooing Balan from the living room (because he wanted to watch MTV) and then sambung some more with Prison Break. By that time, everyone else has arrived.  Everyone, namely John, Pei Wen, Li Yuen, Shwu Zhen, Chicken, Han Ying, jie and Zi Yun. The show was, of course, engrossing. Couldn't focus on our eating because everyone's eyes were on the TV.

After the show, the May Lee show was on but the guys protested against watching it so we had to be contented with TOM & JERRY! Tell me, aren't we childish or AREN'T WE CHILDISH?! Haha. Nasib baik takde Power Rangers...

Anyhoo, yesterday night was awesome. Meeting up with my former classmates was fun. I realised how much we have really bonded compared to my class now. I can't believe how close TB12 got after only one year. Yeah, we are in the same building except for jie and Pei Wen but it's awfully hard to meet up with each other due to our crazy schedules. So thank God for days like yesterday.

"CT, your boyfriend's wearing pink today!"
"Huh?!" <---Stoning.

After much hints by Anne, who was looking to the row behind us and smiling and grinning, I finally got the idea. And you lot should too.

"Eh, yesterday he was wearing a blue jersey and I was wearing a blue shirt and a blue jacket okay."
"Wahhh, so got jodoh!"

Much much much later, while listening to Mr GV, randomly I went;

"Eh, I'm wearing a red shirt under this hoodie. He is wearing pink. Still got jodoh right?!"
 

Okay, Prince Chubby. SUPER HOT today after 2.30 p.m. because he unbuttoned the top button of his pink shirt. ANNNEEEEEEEE! Wasted la you went back early!!!!

Okay, enough. Must change topic before CT gets more angau. 

Back in Ipoh, the brother left for the Kolej Komuniti Sg Siput at exactly 7.30a.m. today. So sad okay I can't send him off. After years of quarrelling and hating each other, I finally got closer to him, now he has to go off already. So screwed up okay!

 And then I realised that now my mum will be left alone with only the cat to accompany her. Plus, it will be uber hard for the three of us to get together after this. You see, my sis' and my schedules are never the same so obviously our sem breaks also are never at the same time. And now add my bro pulak. Sah - sah I won't see him for the next 3 years.

You know, the parental units are planning to take us on a family vacation some time at the end of the year but it's proving really hard for them to do so because of our schedules. So, I am guessing that either one of us or all of us might have to skip a few days of college. Don't care la kan.

"Where do you wanna go?"
"Urm. I wanna say Ireland but I know you will veto my suggestion. So, I will say Australia. Just because I'm running outta ideas."
"Why Australia? Why not Bali?"
"Because there's nothing to do in Bali, according to Sze Yi. Besides, I wanna go Sea World."
"Like that, go Underwater World in Langkawi la!"
"Don't want!"
"Why?!"
"Because.....in Australia, the fishes are, urm, Australian?!"

I tell you if my mum was here, sure she'd give me her famous death glare. Haha

My friends from Broadcasting and Advertising went off to the recording of this Chinese game show called Dating Celebrity about two, three weeks ago.

Faster guess who they saw there?!

 Guess. Guess. Guess.

Guessguessguessguessssss! FASTER!

ALAN YUN!

And they didn't think of taking his autograph or his picture for me tau!

Macam ni ke panggil kawan?!

Wei, I tak kawan you people seminggu okay!

I am leading a jentik revolution to jentik that one annoying person in my class until she is totally black and blue and purple and green and gold.

Details are to be confirmed.

So far, I have found two other classmates who are very much eager to join the revolution.

Anyone interested, please drop me a line on my tagboard.

Sekian, terima kasih.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Anyway, on a very different note, two of my friends think that Prince Chubby is fat!

Adoilah, sakitnyer hatiku!

But Anne(Wei, you very the popular in my blog already eh??Must pay me for these "ads". Haha) and Amrit telah mengubat hatiku hari ini by saying that they all think Prince Chubby's HOT!

So, I've came to the conclusion that Shwu Zhen and Li Yuen have horrible tastes in guys.

According to my watch, it is officially P - DAY IN IPOH PARADE, IPOH!!!!

But I don't think the parents are getting the book today.

But still...

It is P-Day peopllleeee!!!

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Here is why I think my  dad is cute;

Papa : *on the phone* Do you want the adult cover or the children's cover?
Me : Of course, the adult cover.
Papa : Because here, it is written there are two covers for the Potter Harry book. You sure you want the adult cover for the Potter Harry book?!
Mama : *shouting from behind* Harry Potter!

And here is why I think my mum is cute;

Mama : I took your book already after much pushing and shoving. My tudung also like wanna come off already. I fell also. *exaggerating, trust me. Haha* Later I go home I'll read the book and tell you who died okay?!  *hangs up abruptly*

Now you all know la why I am like this!

sacred_raven

Long ass entry ahead. You know what to do if you don't want to read this... 

Before I start my entry on today's trip, I have this to say...

You know when we were up in Gunung Nuang, a certain Yellow Man was absent. Only the Purple X and the Blue Man were there! Now who was it that said the Yellow Man is Da Bomb?!

I demand you take it back! Wakakakakakaka!

 Anyhoo, the jungle trekking trip turned out to be a hiking trip okay! So that means we had to get down and dirty la kan, literally. My Streetwear shoes have turned from white to red. I want the Ananda Marga Yoga to get me new STREETWEAR SHOES! Same design, same colour!

So anyways, Wen Chiann picked up Bee Chin, Sze Yi and I from MC at 5.50 a.m. because committees were required to be at PB by 6.00 a.m. and members were told to get their beautiful behinds to PB by 6.15 a.m.  because we were supposed to move by 6.30a.m. but being Malaysians who follow the Malaysian timing, most of the committees arrived at 6.20 a.m. and most of the members, just a few minutes before 6.30 a.m. Smack them cannnn?!

Then after everyone had boarded the bus, we got moving la kan and I had to accompany Wen Chiann who was sitting in front, near the bus driver because she was in charge of the toll money. And to entertain me and the bus driver, she sang Menghitung Hari for us(she was also practising for her UTAR Idol audition this Wednesday) Wei, THAT GIRL CAN SINNNGGGG! I have told her to record her singing and pass to me so that I can post them to record companies. Then started la imagining how much money she'll make(provided she sells her albs) and how much money I'll get for being her manager. The uncle kept looking at us the whole journey to Gunung Nuang. I think we amused him too much. Haha.

 After an hour of being in danger of freezing to death (Amelia and I are planning to buy snow caps, thick sweaters and gloves to protect us from that annoyingly freezing place that is called UTAR) we finally arrived at Gunung Nuang. While we were doing some last minute headcount, the Sg Long students came, all three buses. Three okay! THREE! TIGA! Wei, we all nak cukupkan satu bas pun dah nak separuh mati, they can get three buses just like that!

Then proceeded up the hill to the breakfast area and got our Nescafes. Then;

Bee Bee : I think I saw Daddy.
Me : *whipping around as fast as I could while holding a cup of VERY scalding hot coffee* DADDDDYYYYYYYY!

Excited giler tak tau nak cakap ape! I missed him weii! Talked to him a bit la and then while looking at him;

Me : Daddy, you are fatter.
Daddy : Huh?
Me : I mean, not fat. Buff. You are more buff now than you were 3, 4 months ago.
Sze Yi : YEAHHHH! I was staring at him just now and he looks so different but I couldn't point it out and now I CANNNN!

FYI, we also saw Pak Long(Mr Boo's old roomie)

After that, of course we had to listen to some boring old speeches made by old men who came just to officiate the event and NOT join us. Typical typical eh?! But being us, we never listened to them speeches so we took the opprtunity to take pictures with the Dada. Eh he was wearing the complete Yogi outfit okay. In ORANGE some more! Tell me how were we supposed to ignore THAT?! LOL.

We started hiking around 9.20a.m. and after 20 minutes, everyone started panting and one by one, the veterans passed by us, hiking up to the front of the group. Tell me, nak malu ke tak nak malu ke?! tak cukup stamina betullllll! The trail was kinda okay at first but as we hiked further, the trail got more slippery and EVERYONE (and I meant everyone. No matter if they were from UTAR PJ campus or Sg Long Campus, from some random organisations or from Ananda Marga Yoga itself) just HAD to keep an eye out for me because I nearly fell countless of times (but I didn't) and everyone who saw kept saying, "CT, slow down." or " CT, careful." or when I shrieked because I nearly fell, "CT, don't fall ah!" Funnily enough, most of those who cautioned me to be careful did fall.

Anyways, the scenery there was gorgeous. Pictures are in Bee Yee's camera. Throughout the whole 5km of the hike up to the summit(Bee Bee and I did about 4.7km?! Haha. No, we didn't get to the summit) Big Bird stopped every five seconds to get pictures of the sand, the dirt, the mud, the butterflies(I SAW NINE BUTTERFLIES WEHHH! And a CENTIPEDE!), the trees, and Bee Bee and I.

Then there was this one time, Bee Bee and I stopped at the side of the trail to watch people eat durians. Haha. They invited us to eat also la but we do not eat durians and the guys were asking me left, right and center why I don't eat durians when I come from Ipoh where, according to one guy, a lot of dusun can be found. And while we were there, we met this one guy on the way down, barefooted. Asked him what happened and he showed me his feet. Bunions. Pity him.

After much staring and interogating, we decided to make a U-turn at that point and headed down, just the two of us. I had more fun then because I didn't have to walk too fast to catch up with the others. For once we had this really nice time hiking down, actually enjoying the nature. An auntie joined us a while later and we started chatting with her la. Friendly people aren't we?! Haha. The hike down took another one and a half hour and it started drizzling so we very much prayed that it wouldn't rain while we were still halfway down the summit. Thankfully it stayed drizzling until we finished hiking.

Reached the lunch hall by 12.30p.m. Lunch was either chicken rice or nasi lemak. I tell you people, the chicken in the chicken rice were "chicken palsu" according to the emcee. Chicken palsu because they were vegetarian chicken. No wonder so tasteless! Haha. Then Bee Bee and I loitered in front of this one chalet while engaging in one of our favourite pastimes - scouting for cute guys. While we were there, the UTAR bus driver actually came to join us wor! Sure he was bored up there all alone so he came and joined th happening people at the chalet. *snort* Then the cute guy who came down barefooted came and sat beside me and after our get to know session, found out that his name's Kenneth. Somehow we got to talking about his age and he asked me to guess so I said 25 and he grinned. He is 31 years old. Some more can show us his IC to prove his age. So awet muda I cannot tahan!

So to pass the time while waiting for the others to come down(they were delayed because of the heavy rain. *cue evil laugh*) chatted with the bus driver and Kenneth. Very friendly, I like! Haha. Then after like an hour or so, they all came down, soaked to the skin! Sam came up to the chalet and started lifting up his shirt to show us his wound (he fell down halfway up the summit and got this nasty wound and he bled. The blood stained his shirt. Urgghhh~!) and you know la how I am when it comes to blood and wounds. Eyyy, geli geli!

After everyone ate, we went up the bus at 3p.m. It was raining and everyone was tired except for Big Bird, Mi Shel and I. So Big Bird and I spent the time guessing who will die in the 7th HP book. 

Overall, the trip was fun actually. The hike up and down the mountain was unbelievably challenging, my legs were about to crumble by the time I reached the lunch hall. Some more we got to experience *cough* the nature and made new friends. So, even after the countless problems we faced today and the many people I wanted to kick off the bus, I had fun. I think I'll enjoy a trip like this the next time around...

Dear friends and strangers....

Who happens to own HP7

or

Who happens to know the plot

or 

Who happens to know the ending

or 

Who knows who will die or don't die

Please do not spoil the surprise for me or I'll disown you. I am only reading the book during my sem break so please do not discuss about the book in front of me. 

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

- Tot -

Haha. Extreme eh?! 

The parental units brought the book for me today but I refused to take it because if I do, I might forget about the reality. Besides, I only have like eight weeks to go....

*sigh*

A shoutout to my laling Yoke Mun in Tronoh! I love you babesssss! Haha. No worries la sure can change to EE wannn! The girl is already stressed. Kesian kesian.

And to my Berlina in Penang, thank you for calling to inform me that you are still alive and kicking. Well, alive at least. I was about to file a missing persons' report you know. Now reply my mail already! And make it LONG! Haha. Much love!

These past few days had not been really good for me. On Monday, I nearly exploded in front of the ICT center in front of three guys. Thank God the guy who entertained me was very patient and in the end he helped me fix my ID. I kinda feel bad that he had to deal with me and my frustrations. But oh well, ICTC kicked me to Admissions and Admissions kicked me back to ICTC. Tell me why I should not be frustrated?

It may seem petty to some people but my name, you mess with it, you are messing with me. There's a meaning behind the whole apostrophe thing. Some of you may still not see the importance even after I explain it but hey, it is MY name, I will have it spelt the way I like it.

Now on to something MUCH happier. I wanna ask you UTARians out there, do you know that we have a VERY HOT lecturer in FAS? Cerenna said he is teaching Photography or something. He looks like Steve Yap and as far as I am concerned, Steve Yap is HOTNESS to the power of thirty - two! Haha. According to my source (haven't established the credibility yet. LOL) he is also a model and can be seen in newspapers(I haven't seen him in any, yet.) and also, he was one of the judges in the show I Wanna Be A Model.

I know PR students are not required to take up Photography. SO, the big question is, Broadcasting and Advertising students will have to take  Photography or not? If you have to, tell Cerenna and I pleaseandthankyou. And I will love you foreveeerrrrr! Pinky promise!

"Okay class, I am going to quiz you on proverbs. I'll give you the first part and then continue, okay?!"
*groan*
"A rolling stone...."
"...can crush you to death."
"C'mon class. A rolling stone..."
"..gathers dust."
"Gathers dust?"

Later;

"Do not throw the baby.."
"...into the river."
"..over the fence."
"...into the drain." (he was joking, of course)

Mr David.

Kyle.

Yours truly.

It is really ironic how things come about...

I used to wait here for you to notice me.

I loved the names that we had for each other and how you used to whisper them to me, without fail, every single time you passed by me.

I used to adore the smile you greeted me with every time I see you with your friends in the canteen.

For months, I used to relive the moment when you first said "Hi." to me.

And now..

Everytime I see you, I look the other way.

I hear your name and I shudder in annoyance.

If I see you coming my way, I'd backtrack.

The funny thing is, you didn't do anything to hurt me.

I just stopped liking you. 

And yet here you are...

Finally making the first move.

Sadly, it is a tad too late.

How ironic.

HP5 was...how to say this, a mixture of feelings. It was funny, disappointing, touching and SO much more. Imelda Staunton was kinda disappointing for me. I expected her to be more whiny and her voice to be even more high - pitched. But she was okay I guess. Daniel Radcliffe's not good looking anymore! WHYYYYYY?! Not that I was a fan of his in the first place but according to the sister, "Badan die sedap peluk tu!". Haha.

I wouldn't say that the movie was sucky. It was entertaining for most part and it was touching to watch the interactions between Sirius and Harry while knowing that Sirius will die in the end was like so heartwrenching la. Besides, Tom Felton should be given more screen time, just for his fans' sake kan?! LOL.

Anyhoo, the movie was at 5.40pm and we got to Mid at 12pm. So what did we do to kill the time?!

Go visit every single shoe store in Mid, of course!

Seriously, we hit aaaalllllllll of the shoe stores, searching for the perfect shoes. I found a couple in JJ and Vad Vid. So, most probably will try to drag the parental units there the next time they are here. I tell you, girls and shoes...inseparable!

[Edit]

Parents just came over. Last week they came over, this week they are also here. So, do you still see the need for me to go back Ipoh?! Haha. I think my mum is kinda bored sitting at home all alone so she'd rather tag along with my dad and visit us here. Pity her la jugak kan?! 

Anyways, they brought supplies for me and they are sending the Peugeout to the sister and taking her Kancil back. I tell you, my sister was dreaming of driving the Perdana but now her dream is shattered to 365000000 pieces. *evil laughter*

Mama also showed me new story books that she just bought at SACC. And they are all Philippa Gregory's books weiiiii! Do you know how hard it is to find her books? Well, technically, I can find her books just about anywhere but they were all simplified versions. Like, hello, do I look seven to you?! So yeah, more books to read during my sem breaaaakkkkk!

Okay, must. Stop. Now. Need to torture myself with IT presentation.

Say it with me people, Blergh~!
