  • habitats and birthdays...

     

    I've always been a little confused about where I live: Selangor or KL? I mean like, my home (Taman Melawati) is registered under KL, but my old school (SMKTM) is under Selangor. Haha.

    And now, I'm still confused over where I presently live. Its like, my college is supposed to be in Sepang, which is Selangor, I think. Yet its so super-near Nilai, which is in Negeri Sembilan, and near KLIA too, which is KL. 3 states! Lol.

    Reminds me of A Walk To Remember when Landon brings Jamie to the border of the two states, one foot in, one foot out. (We watched it on the eve of Lynthia's birthday, aiya nobody cry...but a certain someone next to me was certainly sentimentally-touched. Haha.)

    We celebrated Lynthia's birthday with great pomp. Haha, kidding. That girl, too smart to be tricked by us, still prefer Suraya as birthday girl, more innocent. hehe

    Thats all for now, cheerio!.

  • -Colourful lecturers at KTT-

     

    Introducing colourful characters...

    Mr Zaini (ex-physics lecturer)

    He is plumplish with big eyes, hehe. Speaks like this:

    "...according to the syallabus..."(in this deep-deep voice) Haha. Stares at you with this big big eyes, but somehow as he is spouting physics propaganda he's not really looking at you. Though he is. but he doesn't seem to. Cause he's like staring at you like it was an empty space, and you're not there. But you are. ( i know, confusing!!!) He's good though. Hehe. Not teaching us anymore, though.

    And there is, Mr Kuldip. (chem lecturer, and also Lynthia's fav lecturer) 

    (wish i got a pic of him, hehe)

    As he speaks, (super refined english to the max), you are not only learning only chemistry, he is like an English Teacher, a Moral teacher, you name it.

    "Fill your filter bottle with distilled water, its a sign of courtesy to the next student."

    "Don't block the highway!!!! This is a highway, let others pass!''

    "I said something so funny, why is no one laughing?" (everyone proceeds to laugh)

    Then yesterday in class,

    Mr Kuldip: What is the oxidation state of Zinc metal?

    Everyone (unanimously): +2!

    Mr Kuldip: Noooo!

    Everyone: *blur*

    Everyone: Oh, oh, metal not ion! Zero, sir!

    Mr Kuldip: In thirty years time, when you see me in Dataran Merdeka (why there, i don't know), I'm going to ask you the oxidation state of Zinc!

    lol...

    Funny la these people.

    Ok, quite lame. I was bored haha.

    Cheerio.

  • i'm back! :)

    Yes, me is back on this wonderful Thursday for a whole week of holiday! Yes, one week may not seem aplenty, but unfortunately, for the whole one and a half years in KTT, my max hols will only be: One week. How sad. Anyway.. i'm going to blog about a few 'stuffs' between the last post and this.

    The "stuffs" :

    1) Felicia !!!

    Yes, Feli.  For behold, I am fulfilling her desperate dream of being blogged about. I asked her what should I blog about, and i got her cliche answer : her. Lol... Okkk...here goes.. Feli is this super duper nice girl whom I've known for about...six years now? Yup yup. I've sat next to her for five years since Form1 to Form5, isn't that cool or what? haha..She's also this super duper genius in maths (Mrs Ng's pet) who is considering a future in the world of figures: Acturial Science or Maths and Stats. To this wonderful girl, my good friend, I wish you all the best in your future, may you continue to grow in the Lord and remember your promise to me haha:P Happy liao ma?:)

    2)Exams...

    Today was my last day of my four-day long exam. The first in quite a long while. And lol, it was quite tough... It's harder than what we all would have liked, and more and more I'm grateful for the few months I spent at TAR, where I got some of the basics... Today after Physics test, my wonderful housemates and I went to the Mini-mart where we (aspiring cooks) bought small sausage cocktails, crabmeat and Maggi flavouring, brought it back and celebrate!! Steamboat haha in our new rice cooker. Very chun wan. Topped with Maggi Mee. Yums.

    3) Housemates :P

    Haha. What is there to say.. But its been really great la, for seven weeks now, living under the same roof with Suraya, Lynthia amd Yasmin. We tend to go a bit crazy at wierd hours at night,. expecially on nights before exams. So far, we have braved leaking taps, scary plumbers, and a bee infestation together.. :) (well, the scary plumber thing was more of Suraya alone lol). But still.

    4) Passion Conference.

    Last last Sunday, I went with my college's cf ppl to the Passion Conference at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre. It was, as one of the guys at cf put it, jesus from start to end. It was great... Passion is like a group, Chris Tomlin and his band, Loiue Giglio (the speaker) and they tour seventeen cities having this conference. Hope they come again next year, was really blessed and challenged by it. :)

    Everyone needs compassion
    Love that's never failing
    Let mercy fall on me
    Everyone needs forgiveness
    The kindness of a Savior
    The hope of nations

    Chorus:
    Savior, He can move the mountains
    My God is mighty to save
    He is mighty to save
    Forever, Author of Salvation
    He rose and conquered the grave
    Jesus conquered the grave

    Verse 2:
    So take as You find me
    All my fears and failures
    Fill my life again
    I give my life to follow
    Everything I believe in
    Now I surrender

    Bridge:
    Shine your light
    And let the whole world see
    We're singing
    For the glory of the risen King, Jesus

    Ok..Cheerio ppl and take care:)

  • you're eighteeeen!


    HapPY BiRtHdAY,
    sUraYa !!!


    To the oldest resident of our second home (yes, we're all born in the second half of the year, cool right?), the official Ketua Rumah, supplier of delicious sambal belacan + scrumplicious potatoes & anchovies, ice-cream cum jogging freak, tudung supplier and level- headed one (besides me haha)-when the other inhabitants of our home scream loud enough to wake the Seven Sleepers, and run fast enough to compete in the Olympics, (ok, ok exaggeration haha, its hyperbole:) )after seeing a cicak.... just want to wish you a great year ahead! :)

    *ps. I'll let her blog more about her birthday herself..we had fun at eleven plus to twelve plus last night, lol:)

    Cheerio:)

  • Of the Home, Weight, and Size of the World

     

    Although we have a prick of pride when visitors comment on how homely our apartment at KTT is, and we swell visibly when an invader from another apartment tell us how clean our toilet is, and though the floor shines after being mopped (and cellophane-taped for hair), there is still no place like home. Ahhhh...home.

    Being home from the Kolej Tak Terkenal aka Kawasan Tanah Terbiar aka KTT, is being pampered by a good chinese meal and waited on head to toe. Haha, and hot showers too. (yes, we only have cold water at KTT). Being at home is living in luxury.

    That is, after being sick for almost a week, and finally getting better and better and better and almost completely well again, thank God. Being sick is no fun. Concoctions of rock honey, liang cha, and Redoxon courtesy of our mummy Lynthia (:p) plus with all the prayers prayed for me (thanks, all:) ), I got better. I lost 3 kg!!!!!! This cannot cannot cannot happen again :S :S :S

    Today. Games Room. Ping-pong.

    My friend: *hits the ball to me*

    Me:*hits it back*

    My friend: *stops momentarily* "Eh.. joanna ah.. ni zhen de hen sou hen sou la, wo kan ni ren xiao xiao zhi, tou xiao xiao zhi, ren jia kan dao ni dou xiang yao protect ni.. "

    Me: -_-

    Been getting comments like this all day long of how skinny I am. -_-

    Anyway, on to a brighter side, I've been realising how small this world is actually. Its like everyone is connected to everyone, someway or the other. Like Elise and Tabby knows a friend who knows Lynthia, who is my roommate. And Alicia's roommate's friend's friend knows Lynthia, who knows me, and I know Alicia. And Yasmin's ex-classmate who just came to KTT knew my churchmember and Leow ( haha, yeah Leow, she knows you from SAM). And there's another guy here from Teluk Intan who knew Phraveen a long time back. Haha. So chun la.

    Haha. That's all for now,

    Cheerio:)

  • update!

    Hi guys...its thursday but I'm online at this wierd hour of 1: 13 pm..having a break now so (thanks Lynthia for your wonderful laptop:) *hints hints to parents*

    This week is the second week of classes in KTT..and studies are in a full swing, no? Last week, everyone scared each other by the amount of rajin-ness here :S In between classes, like waiting for the lecture hall, everybody reading something...like sooo scary, haha. But got improvement this week thankfully, everybody more relaxed.

    Lecturers? lol only the heads of the different subjects are the good ones, the others leave much to be wanted, so i guess its up to us to self-study here. Classes are ok..cause i kind of started Sem1 in Tar already, but there are a few differences in the syallabus that's pretty confusing, Gosh, I want my Tar lecturers back!!! Like langit dengan bumi only lol..but not all are that bad la..

    Time flies pretty fast here..before we have time to catch our breath, got something else to do lol. I leave the blame too the washing of clothes, haha. Now everyday I have to wash my own clothes, sampai now my hands are drying and blistering:S Haha. But also ironing of clothes...housework etc etc.

    After class in the evenings (my favourite time of the day), we usually go for some exercise. Have climbed up the KTT hill a lot of times, watch the sunset (kind of), aeroplanes fly into KLIA (wa like so jiwang only), and took a lot of pics. Played ping-pong too a few days back (was fun), and captainball with the CF two days back (so fun le, about 24-26 ppl playing)

    Night time would be the time to do homework, study a bit, and then have some fun:P Anybody watched One Litre Of Tears yet? So sad...but haven't cried yet la..others' tears have been shed here in our apartment (but lets just keep it to this four walls, ok?:P ) and the tudung-trying haha sampai Suraya cried till she laughed lol. Great camaraderie here.

    At times, got a little homesick lor, miss home, miss my family, miss my friends, but that's when I've got to continue to hold on to God, cause now away from home, things are so different, He's all I've got. CF too is a wonderful time of the week to come together as brothers and sisters in Christ, and just praise God.

    Have a lot of pics, but due to some kesulitan, can't put them up here, so want to see pics of us here, go to Suraya's blog, or www.lynthia.blogspot.com and www.lingjunmei.blogspot.com.

    Cheerio. got to go for Chem now.. :)

    take care!

  • :(

    I'm supposed to be attending class now...first day of classes too at that, but I'm instead sitting here in front of this old Samsung computer haih...

    Class was supposed to start at 9am this morning...so at 8.50 or so I went down (hehe thats the benefit of having a class right below your tangga). But waited and waited and waited until 9.35 or so and found out that the lecturer went to the clinic. Never inform wan..otherwise can sleep longer lol.

    Since the first lesson was Physics Practical, it was supposed to be a two hour class so we went lepak at these tables at a dark lorong in between the two blocks lol. We talked, exchanged hp numbers... (goodness, my new classmates, the Chinese ones la, all speak Mandarin so super fluently, sometimes they talk so fast, I feel stupid cause cant catch what they say, haha)-- But maybe my Mandarin will improve here? Hopefullyla:)

    Then just before 11 went to a lecture hall for Chem Lecture. Sat down waited and waited until 11.20 or so before finding out that the lecturer was at a meeting. -_-  -_-  -_- . So my next class is only at two....so long more!!! Not like I love classes or what la, but today is the first day, and this isn't school anymore! :( Gah..

    On the brighter side, Suraya brought her guitar and I brought mine! hehe...my housemates should form a band. Lynthia can play drums or keyboard or something and Yasmin can sing... Lol. Maybe we'll get money doing that on the balcony haha.

    On the darker side again, my classes finish at 6 everyday!!! Except Wednesday ( starts at 11 ! :) and finishes at 5)-i love wednesdays! :)

    But, must look on the brighter sides and ignore all these petty little things that just come and creep in and steal away our happiness..

    Ok, then...

    Cheerio:)
