No time to post much these days so bear with me till Sunday, ok? After that I should be free to post up all (yea, you heard right...ALL!!!) remaining reports of Construct 2003 (gomen How Zan for the long wait :p)

Was not supposed to post but cannot tahan what just happened lah. Only 2 things to highlight so it will not be long. Firstly was I was freaked out today. :'( Got bee in my car when I was on my way back from campus. Just after sending Ee Lin, the bee like popped out of nowhere and started hovering somewhere near the dashboard. Up till I reached my house, I was freaked and also did shriek a few times when the bee flew pass me. *pai sei* Not sure whether it's still in there or not. Don't bother to check though I left the car door opened for about 2 minutes. Conclusion, don't send Ee Lin home anymore. Hehehe...:p (she seldom read so I don't mind :p)

Second thing....aih, something which I posted earlier too. Remember the 'story' about what type of people the Internet can churn out these days? Ah, well....kinda had that same experience before. Only difference is he is from MMU previously but studying somewhere else now. And he is still consistent of wanting to meet me (keeps pestering me whether I got a boyfriend or not) though I've been rejecting to meet him since like....last year? The paling geli thing was....he addressed me sometimes as "Lase Baby"....eeewwwww..... And he might be coming down to MMU this weekend so hopefully something comes up and he does not.... so I don't have to meet him.

I wonder sometimes that do all other girls experience this too? And for the guys, apahal asking someone to be your girlfriend before even meeting her. And to top it off, you hardly know her....only chat a few times can like until that much meh? *Is it just me or do everyone else think this way?*

An edit to my previous post (the one with the insider joke). Management lost (instead of win) against IT. Though we lost cos we have an injured soldier and a sick one. So, this time only too bad lah. What more, IT had 5 soldiers and Management got only 3. Next time you all watch out lah. Payback time. :p (There....happy?)

Yeah!!!! See my new title? Nice leh? Hehehe....credit goes to Kazuya for creating that logo for me and also for serving it for me. Arigatou na...

This post is just to inform that I will not post as often this whole week as I have 2 quizzes to attend to and study for and at the same time handling the cosplay event and anime convention. Not forgetting I have my costume to finish sewing also. So, I will slack off a little in blogging. :p

Hmmm...seems I was a little sleepy and tired yesterday so my post was not that interesting and missed a few other stuffs I wanted to add in. Ah, anyways here are the add-ons:

In the morning I kinda panicked as the bus was not there yet although it was 8.45 AM. Wasted a lot of battery trying to call the person in charge of the bus. After much time wasted and phone credit and battery, I finally managed to enquire about the bus and he told me it was on the way. *phew*

Anyhow, the trip there was ok (although the bus looks a little old, it was working well, especially the air cond and I thought it was pretty comfortable....not sure about the others though) without much jam. Though we passed 2 accidents along the road. (They were pretty bad accidents...as usual, cars tend to slow down to kepo kepo there so there was a slight traffic jam)

Skipping to the makan part, I had nasi kerabu for lunch-dinner. It was not that bad but I think when they cooked the rice, they used too much water cos it was a little soggy and lumped up together. Anyhow, that was the first time eating nasi kerabu and I find it not bad. We (Gek Suan, Huwi Yin, How Zan and myself) were so full (the helping was huge) after that. What more? There was that crispy soup thingie left untouched....lucky myself and How Zan managed to finish it. (Though not sure where in our tummy would it actually fit)

And also forgot to mention that I kinda got lost on my way to the South Court entrance (I almost went down another floor cos I could not find the exit upon reaching the South Court. Almost....cos I saw Dome and remembered there is an entrance there so I ran back up the escalator *dang...people were looking at me weirdly*) but managed to get there in time...maybe a few minutes late though. Took attendance and we were off back to MMU.

Guess that's about it. Hope I did not miss anything else. Oh, ya! There is another thing....How Zan managed to win a huge wall scroll of Ragnarok Online so omedetou gozaimasu. Though I'd rather have the cute pink pillow thingie (looks like Gome from the manga Misteri Naga) anytime of the day. Uwwaahhh....they were throwing to the audience but I did not get it....:'(

Aha! Back from Mid Valley Megamall. Well, it was not a disappointing trip cos it was fun but the way the AXN Anime Fest was presented was a little bleh. They had not much stuff on anime, that's for sure. But the cosplay and the contests were fun. (Though I did not try to answer any)

One thing nice about the cosplay was that we actually know 2 cosplayers (Kenny and Hong Aun) and since they were attracting people, I purposely talked to them when no one was taking photos to make the onlookers jealous. Muahahaha.... Anyway, they were awesome in cosplaying (though I know it was very hot for them) and their performance were not that bad.

As a result of one week's hard work (of making the costume), Kenny managed to grab the grand prize and Hong Aun got 3rd place (yeah, make your sis proud). Too bad we already left during the announcement of winners (cos our bus had to leave at 7.00 PM) or else I can start making onlookers even more jealous. Nyahahaa....was feeling evil today.

Besides the fest, I hardly walked much and visited the shops cos I was busy finding earrings. Only thing I bought was something for my cosplay. Oh, and also a tube top which Ee Lin helped me buy. It was painful to my legs as well since I was walking about 90% of the time there. Only sat down upon reaching (cos ate Baskin Robbins) and then a long time later at about 6.00 PM when having my lunch-dinner.

It was a fun day for myself and the rest cos we got to bully Ee Lin a lot. Well, actually a lot of teasing were done today. Since today everyone was kutuk-ing each other, no problem. Hahahahaa...but I think myself and Ee Lin were the ones who kena kutuk the worse. To show how semangat we are, we even went to yam cha at Cahaya Dinar (urgh.....roti tissue) after reaching MMU at about 9.00 PM. :p (insider joke: Management won against IT in the end...nyahahaha :D)

Oops....almost forgot on my update on my 'pillow' during the trip. The trip there was a little boney (did not sleep well but partly cos of Ee Lin's voice also :p) but the trip back was a little more fleshy (got to sleep quite well here :D). Hahhaha....*me crazy now* Though if I'm not mistaken, someone took a picture of me sleeping....woi, don't blackmail, ah? Noooo.....I give you RM1 for that picture. Hahahaa....

Day 2

I woke up to the sound of someone shouting. Looked out of my tent and saw people running to the field (or hopping on one foot as they try to fasten their shoes). The hell!!! They did not inform us what time were we to assemble that morning before hand and now they were shouting and blowing their whistle? It's not that I'm not awake. I'm awake but I was still lying down just waiting to wake up fully. Upon the shouts and the whistle blowing, I hurriedly woke Shu Yin (who was also half awake) and Chin Nee (who was having a nice sleep) and in a blink of an eye, we were ready and headed straight for the field.

It was a bad way to start my day for sure but I'll survive. Without delay, we lined up according to our groups and most were seen buttoning their batiks or fastening their shoes. (Ah, I forgot to mention that on Day 1, in front of MMU's main hall, we were all given a batik though we did not know the purpose of it. Not until our first lecture....when we were told ~ instructed more likely ~ to wear the batik for any activities ~ which kinda mean like the whole of 5 days lah ~ if I'm going to stink, everyone is going to stink. I was one of the 2 to wear it during our night jungle trekking activity though. The other being Shu Yin. The others wanted to boycott the camp and rebel against the wearing of batik. And it was rather embarrassing when the instructor mentioned about the batik just before the night jungle trekking activity. I think everyone was staring at me with killer eyes that instant. Pai sei ~ heck, even Jin, the one who told me that we were to wear batik that night did not put on his. Hmph... Well, you guessed it. Boycotting failed.)

Well, it was time for morning exercise. In order to wake us up, we were instructed to run around the field twice, lead by group Delta. After a very tiring start (the leading group ran too fast for us to handle), we were required to do 10 push-ups. And each time we go down, we were to hold that position for about 5 seconds before pushing back up. As you might guess, many went low and straight down to kiss the ground. (Ya, including yours truly) Hey, if guys from sports club can't do it (they look awfully fit but managed to successfully do the first few only), what do you expect from an anime otaku like myself (who just sits in front of the pc the whole day long staring at the monitor and lazing around)? After push-ups were sit ups (this I did without much difficulty as I have been doing 50 to 100 sit-ups per day before bed) which although differs in style (we were to put our hands on our abdomen and do the sit-ups without the help of our hands behind the neck like most people usually do, but only using the strength of our abs ~ it's to flatten those abs and for those guys to start building six pax :p ~ though I did a little similar at home but my hands were on my sides instead), it was basically the same thus I did it with ease. *smooth, brother* Done with these exercises, we then came to the morning exercise + stretching. The morning exercise was simple (I thought it was a little too simple), from head to toe. (You know those where you turn your head clockwise, look up, look left, bend down and touch the ground, etc) And there were a few stretching exercises as well (going to aerobics classes finally paid off cos it was a breeze for me ~ perasan :p ).

Well, we were given breakfast then (fried mee hoon and fried rice + a piece of omelet ~ though it was supposed to be fried mee hoon OR fried rice + a piece of omelet but the management did not know that MMU students like to test both so taking half the share of both variety :p) There was a small briefing and we were divided into 2 groups ~ Alpha with Charlie and Bravo with Delta. Alpha and Charlie remained on the field while the other 2 groups went off and did the flying fox. (Flying fox is a sport where people swing from a higher place to a lower ground, attached to a cable. The type of flying fox one normally sees is the type where they strap you up, you hold on tight to the rope attaching you to the cable above and they slide you down. In Kem Nurnikman however, it's done without hands. I call it flying without wings because the position we are in when doing it is some sort like a bird. Anyhow, Kem Nurnikman is the only place in Malaysia which has this type of flying fox. In this case, we were to climb to the top of a tower ~ looks like those guard towers in strategy games firing arrows ~ and ask for permission to drop down (not exactly drop lah). The words were, "Saya, ________ meminta izin untuk turun, tuan!" And you were to jump off the 'cliff' ~ platform lah ~ yourself or risk being pushed down without any warning. Hahahah....pity those who were. The instructor did make a nice joke by saying that we should get the words correctly and flee from the risk of saying, "Saya, ________ meminta izin untuk keturunan tuan!" It was hilarious I'd say.)

Anyhow, in the field, we played ring hockey (I think that was the name anyway) where it's a mixture of American football (note: not rugby) and netball. Well, it was basically something like handball too. The objective was to score as many as possible within the given time. The 'ball' in play was a ring (you know, those kinda rings where you throw during fun fairs) and the goals are people standing on top of chairs, holding a stick (for the ring to go into). The key of the game was to get the shortest person in the team to hold the goal stick (as the goalie ~ person holding the stick ~ is not allowed to lower their hand to catch the ring....hands must be straight up to make it more challenging) and that proved a disadvantage to us cos the shortest person in the camp was in Charlie's team. Group Charlie was good, I admit it. We were trailing all the way (except at a point when we tied points) and in the end, we only had 1 goal (by we here means my group ~ Alpha). Losing to Charlie's score of (I kinda lost count actually) about 5 I think.

Since Bravo and Delta are not done with the flying fox, we rested in 'CLC' with the instructors telling us stories and such. We were kinda watching the other 2 teams 'fly' from afar and were laughing our hearts out at certain people as their 'landing' was so funny. From there, the instructor told us that it would be much more exciting and fun if we were to jump off the platform ourselves and not being pushed down. One of them even showed us the proper way to jump and to position ourselves after the jump so that we will not spin around or 'fly' in a senget manner. He was experienced in these things as he undergone free falling training before. (Oh, and he gave us a tip that we should not look down when we're on top of the platform as we might be even more afraid)

Finally our time came to 'fly'. We took turns to fly without wings and unfortunately for me, I was #47 out of 50 people. Haih....what a long wait. We gave support to those who were afraid to jump and people were borrowing sandals to one another. Then came my turn and guess whose sandals did I borrow....Encik Shah from STAD. Hahahaha....it was a little big for me but it was the best choice I had. Then came the moment of truth. I climbed to the peak of the mountain (tower lah using ladders) and got hooked on to the cable. I did a naughty thing though. I looked down (I'm not afraid of heights anymore since the day I conquered my fear of heights) and was excited I could have just jumped up and down there. The instructor checked everything, I said the magic words and I was off....flew down nicely (it felt sooooooooooo great) but halfway, I felt myself going a little senget. Dang....I tried my best to get back into the normal position (which I managed to do so) and it was a successful landing for me also. Though it was said that the way I tried to get back to my normal frontal position was a little funny. More like a frog swimming on air. Hahaha...I don't care. I did it and I'm proud of it.

We were all so tired then and went for a bath. After a quick bath, we were back at the dewan makan having our dinner and we played with fire that night. :D We played football actually but using a special ball ~ a fireball. Yes, it was on fire and it was burning hot. But it did not really hurt when we kicked it (cos we have to kick it with our tapak kaki and kick it fast). What hurts more was kicking the 'ball' itself since the 'ball' is actually a coconut. Halfway you'd see the coconut split into 2 and voila, you have 2 balls to play with. Though the referee would bring in another. It was a World Cup event amongst groups but the girls were separated, joined together and separated again into 2 groups. (I was in group 1 or better known as Angels ~ the other being Shin Chan)

After a tired and hot time (my legs were black by the end of the game), we were shooed off to bed and prepare ourselves for what they had in stored for us tomorrow.

Dang.....another 1700+ word post.....hope this is enough. I had to cut the last part short a bit. :p Want more explanation on the fireball game later I'll post. Now only remember about it. Gomen ne...

Thankfully I'm feeling a little better now. Though still worried about tomorrow. Anyhow, had an extremely nice chat with 7 people at once on my Yahoo Messenger (was surprised when suddenly everyone started messaging me) but I had to log off early cos I needed to prepare myself for tomorrow. And also keep the promise I made to How Zan (I did not forget lah....still considered today, right?) to post Day 2 here.

Anyhow, nothing much will or did occur from my last post so this will be a short post. Just want to add a little quiz here which I took (got it off another blog ~ though I think it's best not to mention which blog) a couple of minutes ago. Here's the result. Agree or not, it's my results.







Which Rainbow Brite kid are you? By Growing.

Friday, September 26, 2003

Aha! Now I get why I think my blog is damn boring. Cos it was more of a report of my daily life instead of a journal. Haih...from now, I'll try to change the way I post, ya? Hope it turns out better. Though I think that by changing the way I post, there would not be much to type about and so, I'm killing two birds with one stone (posting in a new style + shorter posts).

Today is so not a good day for me. Stress level increased (or maybe doubled) right after waking up. How nice would it be if I'm a carefree person, living alone without worries or responsibilities or anything else. If it were possible, it would be my paradise. :p

Ah, heck. Screw the different style post. I'm going to whine whether you guys wanna read or not. This morning was a sucky morning. I almost did not have a bus for the AXN Anime Fest trip tomorrow. No bus but with 44 people waiting at MMU. Argh!!!! After much wasting of prepaid credit and time, I finally got a bus for the trip. Downside was it was more expensive and we had to leave early!! I pray that the event ends at 6.00 PM (cos latest we can leave Mid Valley is 7.00 PM).

And if that ain't enough to waste my time, I could not make my contact lens stay on my eyeball (I know....it sounds disgusting, ne?) this morning. The stupid soft curved plastic thingie (contact lens lah tu...) keep coming out when I blink my eye. After like 7 tries, I gave up (not because I give up easily but because I was late to pay the deposit for the bus and also would be late for my Japanese class) and shot off to campus. Japanese class was boring today but lucky for me I was sitting beside Della. At least I had someone to whine to (also whined to Jin on the way to class before that as we bumped into each other *not literally* when I was walking towards CLC) about the trip.

I knew my boring hours will last for a minimum of 4 hours (as I had my Principles of Marketing lecture after Japanese class) so I was not hoping for a wonderful evening today. Busy, yes. Tiring, yes. Fun, NO!!!! Plus, I've already wasted half my day. Predicting I won't sleep early tonight and even if I did force myself to somehow sleep, I won't have a good rest. Argh!!!! The person sitting next to me tomorrow had better have a nice shoulder to lie on.... at least as a consolation for me. (Though I'm not putting such high hopes... he a bit skinny lah....hahaha... joking only ah....:p I still want a cushion for my head tomorrow ;p)

As I promised How Zan (after all the bugging also), I will post Day 2 of Construct 2003 today (most probably tonight) so watch out for another extremely long post later on. :D

Oops.....see...long post woh... hahahaha... Legolase will always be Legolase. Cannot save this gal already. :p

Well I won't be blogging as long or as often anymore due to the fact that many people say I write too much here. So, I'll try to keep it as short as possible, ne?

Anyway, before I start, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIN!!!!! (Though now already pass midnight...gomen) May your wishes come true and have a great year ahead of you. *Muacks* ~ Luv ya always.

Anyways, back to my post...Today was a holiday for me (every Thursday actually cos I'm classless then :D ) but we (Ee Lin and myself) came to campus to take care of the AXN Anime Fest booth. Huwi Yin was readily there, waiting to jaga the booth with us. Well, nothing much happened so I'll skip to the part after we got the whole bus full.....

4 of us (Ee Lin, Huwi Yin, Gek Suan and myself) headed to Tesco (though I forgot the reason) and had quite a nice time there. As usual, the only thing we do there is shopping. Did not buy much though but still used about RM60 ~ :'( ~ Anyhow, Gek Suan and Huwi Yin were hungry so they had an early dinner there (note: It was only 4.30 PM) and I had a late lunch then.

Went back about 6.00 PM where I took a shower, checked my mail and headed off back to campus for my Japanese class. Class was ok but I regretted not revising during the holidays. Hahaha....hope I can pass the paper in December. *sweat drop* Headed to Jaya Jusco after class to get a cake for Jin (we went to Cahaya Dinar to yam cha) and I also bought a nice skirt. Well, it was kinda nice to me and the price was only RM16.90 (which later upon payment, I found that it is on sale thus I got it for RM13.52) in Haha Club and I might use it for my cosplay. Hahahah....we'll just have to see about that, ne?

10.00 PM came and I fetched Alisa, Ee Lin, Gek Suan and Huwi Yin (in order of them entering my car :p). How Zan was to meet us there since he had a discussion and Della would bring Jin after her Japanese class. Usual stuff, yam cha, talk, take cake, talk, present cake, light candles, blow candles, cut cake, eat, ta pao the extra. Hope Jin was happy. :)

We went home early since we predicted a rain would fall. (Though it had not up till now) Sent everyone home (including Ee Lin ~ merajuk ka? :p) but was at Alisa's house till 12.00AM (Kok Ee joined us somewhere in between) then finally....I'm back home.

Something nice was that my yukata was ready!!!! Yeah!!! Though I have no idea how to put it on (oh, no!!!) and the one person I can think of to teach me now would be Dr. Goh. I hope it looks good anyways. :) Hantam sama dia lah.....

Day 2 of Construct 2003 will be posted tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Been busy lah....

Wednesday, September 24, 2003

Wokays....first part would be yesterday's event cos I was too busy chatting to blog last night. So, gomen again.

Yesterday, nothing special happened. I found out my other subject (Public Sector Accounting ~ I took 2 subjects this sem) was just as boring as Principles of Marketing. Furthermore, it was more on memorizing the facts and that is something I am so totally not good at. Ms Zauwiyah was teaching and that was a relief (at least she can teach and is not that boring a lecturer) though the subject itself would still be a boring one. No matter, I'm not aiming for 4 flat or anything, right? Maybe a 2 flat would do (Alpha joke) this trimester.

Guess that was about it for yesterday. Nothing much I can think of now anyways. Oh ya. Met with Della and How Zan in the afternoon and showed them a freaky sight. Ah, well...not that freaky to How Zan but yes to Della. Proposal for the AXN Anime Fest was approved so we're set to go. Booked the bus that day and well....guess that's about it.

Anyway, better start for today. Started the morning by preparing the poster for the trip and headed to campus to get people to actually go for it. And pay of course. Did not manage to finish the poster cos we (Ee Lin and myself) had class so we left the final touching up to Huwi Yin and Shu Yin (arigatou gozaimasu for finishing the poster though I feel bad pushing the task to them). Class did not end early but still, we opened the booth after class (myself, Ee Lin, Huwi Yin and How Zan). Oh...and I met Dr. Goh along the way to CLC earlier and I was so happy. Ureshi na~ Myself and Ee Lin had to leave for class again at 3.00 PM though and Huwi Yin and her bro was left there to attend to the booth. Thankfully, Ms Zau was fast today and we finished about 4.00 PM so I can take over the booth just as How Zan went for class. Huwi Yin then went home with Gek Suan so myself and Ee Lin were left there to attend till 6.00 PM.

In between, there were some nice things happening (I got a treat from Jin, managed to have a long talk with Ee Lin and we were laughing so loud there people might think we're crazy) and that was when Thye Shin appeared (not to say you took the fun away). Well, we talked a little (kutuk Jin about Gundam SEED download) and Thye Shin left for class (4 PM class but went at about 5 PM mind you).....a class which he exited early (30 minutes after that ~ 5.30PM)...real lazy guy woh. Anyway, it was funny for Thye Shin not knowing Jin had a girlfriend and all....and the worse was that he thought I was Jin's girlfriend. (Oh My God!!!!! What were you thinking Thye Shin?)

Anyway, at about 5.50 PM, How Zan finished his class, we closed the booth and we (Ee Lin, How Zan and myself) headed for the pasar malam. I did not buy much there except for rojak (which I have not eaten for a long time) and some keropok lekor for my brother and myself (which the three of us ate in my car on the way back from pasar). Sent How Zan back to his car but lepaked in my car about 30 mins maybe to chit chat and makan keropok.

Got home, bathed, checked mail, neopet for a while, checked neXt-Boards, ate dinner and shoot straight to campus for the EMiNA members gathering. Well, it was fun there with all the jokes running around. Thye Shin, Shu Yin and myself were the last to leave (though I think if not for the guard, we might be there even longer) and I was soooo amazed with Thye Shin's drawing (you MUST submit your fanart to EMiNA, no arguements) especially the girls and that cute little round robot thingie (feel like photostating it).

Anyway, since How Zan was too malas (hehehe....sleepy lah...I know) to go yam cha (continue story telling from EP ~ as long as there is Ee Lin and me, there will be stories) I headed back home ~ alone. And now here I am.

Oh, before I end, there is something still at the back of my mind. Something Tidus did actually (I met him today finally). After he confirmed I was me, he laughed. What th....why did he laugh? I can't figure. Maybe I was not who he thought I'd be? Or look like? Who knows? Life goes on....hahah..made it sound like it's a life or death situation. :p

Tuesday, September 23, 2003

Ok.....today's events will be posted most likely tonight. I'm going to post about my camp trip now but I regret to say I cannot fulfill the promise I made yesterday. I will post day by day instead of the whole thing as it is too long. Day 1 itself sums to about 1700 words so....I'm thinking splitting them up would be the best thing to do. So, here's Day 1 of Constuct 2003.

Day 1

After posting a post in my blog, I rushed to check for any last minute items to be packed. Once ready, I was off…..off to meet my doom for 5 days in camp without my beloved PC. Time to ‘check-in’ was between 7.30 AM to 8.00 AM so I set out at 7.25 AM with a tint of hope that they might actually cancel the trip due to unforeseen circumstances (or at least scratch some names off the list due to limited transportation space). Upon reaching the main hall, I spotted only 1 person waiting there ~ Shu Yin. A flicker of happiness came upon me as my wish might just come true (with the canceling of the trip). However, dreams were shattered when an SRC exco came up to us and asked us to mark our attendance on some pieces of paper. While doing so, we were required to give our house phone number (which I assume they will call if we got lost in the jungle) and also pen our signature there. In time, more and more people came but as expected, since they mentioned we have to register before 8, that means 8.30 (typical Malaysian time) and so myself, Jin and Shu Yin went to the mini mart in Plaza Siswa to buy some snacks to munch.

Returning from the mini mart, we found everyone was gone, heading towards the roundabout (where the buses were parked). We took our things and joined the crowd. Managed to get a seat with Shu Yin at the front most of the bus while Jin sat with Yong behind us. And guess what? We left at 9.30 AM!!! 9.30 AM!! That’s a whole one and a half hours extra from the proposed time. As usual it was due to improper planning (not sure by STAD or SRC) cos they found out that there is not enough transport to cater for all participants (I heard later on that some SRC excos did not go due to lack of transportation). We were so close of telling them we voluntarily opt to not go and give space to the rest but somehow, we did not. And this, at 9.30 AM, the real journey began.

The journey was quite comfortable (though a little hot cos the air cond was not that cold) and I had a nice chat with Jin, Shu Yin and Yong though only for a short time. Then I went to sleep. Tried to anyway (since many were eagerly phoning friends or family to find out their results) but we reached our first stop which is a petrol station for the driver to fill ‘er up. Many went down the bus to grab something to eat or drink but I just remained seated, trying to sleep while playing with my blue cloth. Tank full, all systems go!!! We headed off again and this time I managed to grab forty winks until just before the next stop, where all of us got down for ‘breakfast’. The 5 of us (Shu Yin, Jin, Chin Nee, Yong and myself) sat on a table and ordered our drinks and food. A cup of teh o panas was good enough for me. After about 20 minutes, we’re on our way again. (Not before filling in a form ~ a declaration form stating MMU will not be responsible if anything were to fall upon students but will try their best to ensure the safety of the students yadda yadda crap)

This time, I slept really nicely and woke up just at the exit toll, where I can see a signboard “Sungkai” just a couple of meters in front of the bus. Though the signboard stated Sungkai was to the right, the driver turned left. I was like….”uh-oh….we’ll be lost". But the driver looked like he knew where he was going so I just let it be. Messaged my dad, Huwi Yin and How Zan just to inform I’m almost there. Managed to get Huwi Yin’s reply before I was cut out from the outside world (read: no more coverage) though it seems How Zan did reply but it did not come through so…..report: failed.

The bus went deeper along the road (it was somewhat like a kelapa sawit plantation) and we stopped twice (cos the driver was not sure and had to ask for directions ~ he did not even know the name of the place so I had to tell him ~ since the declaration form stated the name of the place). Finally we reached our destination….Kem Nurnikman. The bus brought us as far as it could and we then got off the bus, took our luggage and started walking towards the camp. At first glance, it was a military training camp to me. No matter, I just followed the pack, reaching a shaded area. One would not be shocked to hear people shouting “Oi, CLC lah” since it does look like a lecture hall except that it’s not a closed room. We put our bags in a corner, sat down but in less than a minute, we were up, moving around again. Well, to change seats actually as boys were to sit on the left, and girls on the right of the hall.

To cut things short, attendance was taken, a short speech was given and we were rushed (literally) to our tents. Since we get to choose our tent-mates, I was with Chin Nee and Shu Yin and we got a silver tent (just the interior portion). We were off to clean our tent but the weather was so damn hot that I felt like I was being roasted alive in the tent. I cleared some dried grass and twigs from the tent and hurriedly got out. Phew…..did I start sweating already. Face all red and I totally felt like jumping into the river nearby. We were then given lunch and then gathered back at the field to be separated into 4 groups. Standing from tallest to the shortest (2 lines ~ 1 boys, 1 girls), we counted from 1 to 4 and continued till the last person. Group 1 was known as Alpha, Group 2 ~ Bravo, Group 3 ~ Charlie and Group 4 ~ Delta (standard army group names ~ you’ll know if you’ve watched that TV show by Mark Burnett ~ Combat Missions if I’m not mistaken)

We were then given some standard military instructions (proper way to stand, how to respond to an instruction, etc ~ example: Ke kanan…..lurus!) and chose a group leader and assistant leader. Finally the fun started. We played 3 games. Well, the first was not a game actually as it was merely a test to see how long can one stretch a 1 inch string (the string was those kind where you can separate it into thinner threads so the ‘method’ was actually just to separate and tie them together) and they would measure it later on (though they never did). But the catch was that they would be distracting us with loud songs, noises from the motorbike and also from the car/jeep. It was to test how well we can focus and concentrate on a task (perhaps training us to concentrate on our book when in libraries instead of looking at girls/guys around us). Second game was to form a circle, holding hands and 2 hoops were placed in between the hands. Well, the aim was to bring the hoop around the whole circle back to the original place. We did accomplish it but not with record time considering there are many tall people in my group (I’m in Alpha by the way ~ how nice if I was that young ~ read: Alpha MMU)..though our style of shifting the hoops were quite good. And the last game was throwing golf balls to your partner. Well, we’re still in a circle and we have a throwing partner and a catching partner. Is hard to explain but it was a nice game so if anyone wanna know how to play this game (or want further explanation on how the game goes), later only ask me lah, ok? We managed to achieve all 7 balls in the air (was the first group to achieve that actually) so we were allowed to sit down (by groups now instead of gender) and waited for the rest to finish.

Then more lecture (actually it's not a lecture...it's more of a talk since it's not that boring....and not that long either ~ we had some concentration and meditation exercise too during this time), tea break, bath time, dinner (can’t remember all so if I did miss out any activities, gomen ne) and finally, we were to assemble at the hall for a briefing on our night activity. It was simple. We will be brought to some place in the jungle, and we’re to hold on to a rope, not let go and walk, following the rope to wherever it leads. Individually!! Well, it was dark, we can’t see a thing and the instructors purposely made some weird noises in the jungle. (The waiting process was a little ok but I don’t think it needs elaboration on it. Just that I was asked to create the sounds of a pontianak ~ which I refused ~ wanna know later ask me lah) Upon reaching the end of the rope, we were to wait for our turn and then tested on our memory skills. In 3 seconds, how many out of 10 items can we remember. It was ok but I knew I only managed to get 4 correct. After the test, we were to wait for other group members to arrive and soon, we headed back to the hall. We were asked to head off to the ‘dewan makan’ to get refreshments (it was only plain water ~ but we called it air laici and started calling it air laici since then) and then we’re off to bed.

Well, you know me. For certain I can sleep if I feel like sleeping, no matter on wood, stone, grass or mattress. So, I slept like a log. But in the middle of the night, I was shivering to death (my legs only actually ~ I wore shorts cos I was low on track suits) so I took out my sleeping bag and treated it as a blanket.

Guess that kind of sums up Day 1 in Kem Nurnikman....considering I slept after 12 AM (the activity lasted that long), the last paragraph should be in Day 2 but I think it's better counting the days as when I wake up till the time I sleep, ok? (Like it or not you guys have to accept anyway cos this is MY blog. Nyahahaha....:p) Long post, ne?

Monday, September 22, 2003

Give me another day. Another day only to finish the report on Construct Camp 2003. Well, today I'm back to studying as you all should know and it was nice seeing friends again. Waking up early was not a problem (mainly cos I did not have to wake up early ~ my class started at 4.00 pm) and I started my day thinking of settling club stuffs. Preparing the working paper for the trip to Mid Valley this Saturday (for the AXN anime fest) was not that hard considering I've done so many working papers. Now only need to get the signature of Dr. Goh and it's set to go.

Though some bad news arrived at my doorstep (not literally) today. Seems that plans to hold the cosplay event on the 4th next month might not be made a reality due to the fact that the main hall is already booked during the holidays (but when I enquired, they said the earliest to book is today) for a motivation course or something. It can be held on the same day provided we shift it to the exam hall or it has to be postponed to another date which I don't feel that comfortable with. As if this is not giving me a headache, I read that qj_wong (a forumer) said that Comics Corner would not be shipping in .hack//ENEMY (a card game).....bummer.

Still, the day was quite nice. Went out for lunch with Raelynne and we had fried kueh teow cos the mee hoon kueh shop was closed. (which reminded me of Lee Na ~ miss you gal) Later after that I went online for a while (supposed to pass the working paper to Della or Jin to get Dr. Goh's signature and pass it to STAD but unfortunately, Jin did not reply any of my 3 sms and so, I think I'll just do myself tomorrow ~ if you're wondering, yes, I'm angry at Jin) and then took a nice bath and got prepared for class. Class was boring as usual and to make it even worse, the lecturer taught me Introduction To Cyberpreneurship during BETA and he was not that good. He got all sorts of policies (which if I mention, it's going to be hell of a long one) and one of them was that our group was to fulfill 3 criterias (for added marks) which are:

1) Groups must have boys and girls
2) Groups must have students of different races
3) Groups must have students of different age

I mean the first and last is settled since Kok Ee is a guy and he is a year older than us. Problem settled. But as for the 2nd criteria (which by the way he mentioned that fulfilling this would be enough also for the extra 2 points), there are like 70% Chinese students in my class and most of us already have our own groups. I'm not being a racist here (cos I'm not one) but it's almost impossible for us to get a group member of another race considering they will be in their group and there are not many single ones around. Hoping there will be someone non-Chinese who is asking for a group and we can slot him/her in. (though I'd prefer if he/she can do work as well) But as of now, I'm not thinking so much about it just yet.

Well, after the lecture (he let us go 30 mins earlier), we had a short discussion on the group members thingie and also a little talk and we headed home. Sent Amelia back (sorry could not see your new house) and on the way back to Taman Bukit Melaka, there was this huge queue of cars on the main road and it was almost impossible for me to cross it. So, I freed my gear, let the car slid backwards (I was on a slope) and then cornered into another road (alternate route back home) and it was so embarassing. People looking at me with the does-she-know-how-to-balance-a-car look. Ack!!

Did not go straight home cos I lepaked outside Kok Ee's house (sent him home too) for a while playing with his new handphone (finally he got one). I planned to go to the pasar malam for a while actually to get a drink but cancelled since I spent about 20 mins at Kok Ee's place already and needed to get back in time for a dinner celebration. Headed back home, told my mum of the nutmegs Kok Ee gave (thanks again, ya) and got ready to go out.

Well, I'm back from Tesco as we went there to Esquire Kitchen to celebrate my mum's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY ~ though you'll not read this) and did some shopping. Spotted some nice clothes which I can use for cosplay so :D but I'm not buying just yet. Would not buy with my mum around anyways. :p Had a slight stomach ache on the way back but I'm fine now. And here I'm now posting here. Doing nothing much actually.

Oh ya....before I end....I got a date!!! Hahahaha.....will not go further on this though..... I might post about it later after it happens. :p (though it might not be as what some of you expect :D )

Today don't have a flair in writing either....the wonders 5 days without a pc can do to a certain Legolase. :) Even typing slower now. This is NOT good. Sigh....

Hello everyone again. I'm back from my 5 day camping trip and boy will there be a lot (and I mean really a lot) to type. It's still in process and I will post it up a little later. Most probably tomorrow latest since I got some club matters to settle (if not then cosplay tak jadi then how? :p)....one thing's for sure, those who don't wanna know what happen to me during the camp may skip the whole post since I'll be posting it according to days (Day 1, Day 2, etc). Projected length would be more than 5000 words if I'm not mistaken. Hahahhaa....lots of read for those who have nothing to do later on.

Anyway, back to today, after getting back from camp (without giving spoilers on anything about the camp), I unpacked (though I have not finished...too lazy) and told stories of the trip to my parents and brother. Well, wanted to go 'yam cha' tonight but most people were either busy, too tired or not back from their hometown so I spent that time checking all my mails, surfing a little, playing neopet games a little and of course, foruming. Read up some blogs too though it's not much considering they are not crazy bloggers who need to blog everyday to survive. :D

Currently listening to Gareth Gates - Anyone of Us like the 10th time today. Hahaha.... Anyways, completed Onegai Twins episode 9 today so yahoo! At least I get to watch something to waste time. Guess I'll be sleeping early today too...NOT!!!! Accidentally burnt my 'pulut hitam' when heating it up (so sad..I was looking forward for a nice dessert') cos I was busy playing game while leaving the gas on a small flame. But no matter how small, if you leave it for 30 minutes, it'll surely go black....so there was my pulut hitam (literally hitam now).

Since I'm not having a flair of writing (dang, even my efficiency in typing deteriorated already....I was away for only 5 days, right? Seems like 5 months :p), I'll just stop here for now. Watch out for my extremely long post later. You have been warned.

*starts singing ~ hearts will break....cos I made a stupid mistake...lalala....*

Wednesday, September 17, 2003

What can I say? I'm crazy, ne? Well, will be leaving in bout 15 minutes so got time to crap a while. Results will be out today....just to inform you guys. Argh!!! Why today of all days. Don't they know we got a camp to attend to. Stupid. Plain stupid. And I'm off so I have no idea whatsoever how to check my results. Maybe I'll just wait patiently till Sunday. It's just 5 days, I won't die, right? Ya, right! Though I'm assuming I passed all my exams cos this time I DID study for them and I did NOT receive any phone call from MMU so I'm quite on the safe track.....I HOPE!!!!

Anyways, I better go check out for last minute stuffs and also change my clothes for the enjoyable camp. :p Urgh....don't feel like going after thinking of the so many unresolved matters of the club. (proposed trip to MidValley for AXN anime fest, membership card, t-shirt, cosplay event, my costume, etc...) Better for me not to think cos I'm going to my fun construct camp in less than 20 minutes.

Oh, ya....to those who know where to get a lab coat or doctor's coat, please inform me. Arigatou gozaimasu~

*waves to everyone goodbye ~ the kind princesses do ~ nyahha...*

Ah....so today is the day I finally face my destiny. Hahaha....ya right. Well, I don't think it will be that bad. Though my brother was constantly comparing this camp to when he had his and boy was his really tough. Not that afraid though cos I know I'll pull through. All those stuff he told me made me wanna fully equip myself for this camp. But seriously if I do, I don't think I have enough strength to carry everything I need. So, I'll just push that aside and head straight on.

Today much happened. Well, Huwi Yin came back today so I was happy. Wanted to surprise Huwi Yin with How Zan fetching her instead (I told her I would fetch) but I'm not sure she was surprised or not. Well, waited for How Zan to come and he did come a little late then expected. ;) And we waited for that one miss call (from Huwi Yin stating the bus is at the toll) patiently. And the miss call came!!!! I missed call Jin (he was going out lunch with us) and we hurried to How Zan's car. (well, did not run actually) And Mr. Kakkoi (japanese term for bergaya) tried on the sunglasses I bought for him from Vincci (the one Ee Lin bought in Genting) Heh....fits well I guess considering he was posing in front of a car to see his reflection. Hehehe.... Hope you liked it (I know you do considering the way you wanted it so badly from Ee Lin) but don't like it also must force yourself to like it. :p

And so we headed to fetch Huwi Yin and went for lunch. That was about 3.00 PM and by the time we got home after that was 5.00 PM. Went to chat a while, burned some CDs and waited till 8.50PM where How Zan fetched Huwi Yin and Jin to my place. From there, I drove to Sampan for our dinner and it was great there. The food was not bad but the memories there were great. Regretted not asking How Zan to take some pictures of us there (cos he brought his camera).

Well, what an experience we had there. Though I felt one of the waitress was over-friendly, she was cool. Then came the exciting part when How Zan spotted a switch located on the pole just behind me and asked me to press it to see whether the light above us would off. It did not. Instead, I noticed that the small lights on the tree behind How Zan offed and when I switched it back on, like magic the tree glow. :D That was when How Zan turned and looked at that tree while we were talking. Then he mentioned there is a snake! A snake! We thought he was pulling our legs cos we saw a dead branch there. But wait....what's that thing moving beside the dead branch? A water snake! And it was heading towards the table behind How Zan and Jin (in front of Huwi Yin and myself) where a couple were dining. Since it did not make any move, we just eyed it. Then it went closer and closer to the couple and we called them to inform them about the snake. Both jumped out of their chair with the girl giving a small yipe. Then, being typical Malaysians, occupants of other tables went and look-see (kepo lah) and stretching their necks to the limit. :p The commotion ended when a waiter took a bamboo pole and drove the snake back to the water.

Many jokes were passed on while we watched the waves hitting the 'benteng' (not telling any here though some were very funny ~ closed conversation ~ muahaha....I'm evil). At 11.30PM, we paid and left the place. Though I think I felt a little bit stupider after the dinner there (again, insider joke).

All in all, it was a fun day with the three of them....glad you guys made me feel great before me leaving today. Argh....come back must belanja me makan!!!! :p

Tuesday, September 16, 2003

Well, today's my last day at posting for the time being. But please do visit later after Sunday, ok? Cos I'll be back then and hopefully I still have energy to post some stuff.

Yesterday Jin came back to Melaka (yay! ~ been missing him so much :p) so I went off to Kotamas to fetch him. Poor thing thought today was the camp that's why he came back last night. Awww.... he gave me a rose (a little squashed up on his bag) which he got from a dinner he attended. Even the thought was sweet and although I giggled a little seeing the rose, I appreciated it. Though he mistook me and thought I wanted to cry there cos he gave me such a thing. (Aiyoh Jin ah....I not like that one leh) So, officially my 2nd live flower I got. Fake one I got 1 before during James' English presentation.

And this morning, the sound of my SMS tone woke me up. Though I did not wanna get out of bed (cos my phone was in the living room), somehow something made me get my lazy carcass up from bed and grab the phone. (Of course I headed straight back to my bed and started clicking) Of all people, I never expected Kenny to be the bearer of the SMS. Haha...replied my SMS to him 2 days late. Anyways, he kinda told me he was going to cosplay (yay!) but in the AXN Anime Fest (dang!). Trying to persuade him to use the same outfit and cosplay in MMU on 4th October but he cannot confirm it cos he might have some projects to do. (Keep fingers crossed)

Speaking of cosplay, Jin showed me his costume yesterday and it was FABULOUS!!!! Made my costume look like $hi+. Anyway, can't wait to see him in that outfit, looking GRAND!!! :D Though he paid a little more than I did for my material (considering he sent it to a tailor), I thought it was cheap and very worth the money he paid for. (Pity you got scolding from your mum ~ there there *pats head* :p)

Well, supposedly Huwi Yin was suppose to come back today....but no news so not confirmed. I hope she does come back cos after today, I'm no longer here till Sunday!

Well, I'm off to eat my breakfast now cos I'm going to have a late lunch with Jin ~ so tatas...

End of holiday: 20 hours and counting....

Monday, September 15, 2003

Short post here. As you can see, I've edited some colours of my board. (was planning to only do it later as stated in my other post but somehow after the taggie-post by Aleph Null, well, I figure better do some minor adjustments now) Well, not exactly the final product in my mind right now but any further changes would have to wait till I return from my construct camp. And if you guys were wondering, yes this is one of my favourite colours (refer to previous post if you don't get what I just typed). Much needs to be done to make this Blog look much more exciting but one thing is for sure, I'm most likely keeping my Lego-Taggie to look the way it is now. I'm kinda falling in love with it.....so to speak.

*Jumps in*

Hi ya'll. Missing me already? Hahaha....sorry. Today a little crazy as well. What can I say? Genki genki genki. :D And in that short period of time, many things happen to me. Well, not that many but a few to right down.

Did not plan to eat lunch today cos I was not in the mood to. But my aunt kinda forgot I'm not eating there (I told her I won't be going to her place for lunch this whole week cos of the camp) so she did cook extra and my father just packed some back for me to eat. Food don't taste that nice when you don't have the appetite for it, ne? Hopefully she will remember tomorrow cos I plan on cooking tomorrow...one last time before the end of the holidays. (This thought is so sad)

Just came back from the library after meeting Shu Yin there. And while waiting, guess what? I went into the library and scouted around for fun and saw a book on sewing. Too bad it's a reference book so I cannot borrow it. No biggie, nothing much in there I need except 2 pages which I kinda memorized easily. (Putting it into practice would be the hard part)

Before that I went off to Peringgit Jaya to send the club's t-shirt for re-printing. (Though the lady in charge mentioned another term which I cannot recall now) Hope to get it by the end of this month so we can start selling it during the exhibition and the cosplay event. (Oh, no further updates on my costume. It's just lying there untouched) And while driving, there was this song played on radio and the lyrics suits a current event in my friend's life sooooo exactly. Hope I remember to tell him about it.

After tomorrow, you guys will not have to visit my Blog so often as I won't be here posting. But you can bet on it that after I get back from camp, my post is going to be a hell of a long one. Hopefully not that many grumbling and ramblings then. :D

End of holiday: 1 day and counting... :(

Will publish my normal post later on. Right now I guess there is nothing much for me to write just yet. Just wanna inform that any 'kata nama khas' was better to be made bold and italic so I did just that. If I missed any, and if it's your name, do inform me. (Hey, I'm only human, ne?) And I do know I did not make the 'Sungkai, Perak' bold cos I don't want it to haunt me today and tomorrow.

Come on guys....post on my taggie. :D Feel like getting those counter thingie where you can see how many people visit your site. :p

Sunday, September 14, 2003

Belly-rings are cool. Though I'm not getting one. Hehehe....followed Rita for a quick drive to Mahkota Parade and back to get her replacement belly-ring. If you're wondering, it does look painful. Maybe the reason I'm not getting one. And also the fact that I will be killed by my mum for that.

Nothing juicy except someone asked me to be his girlfriend. Hehehe....and I have not even met him. Types of people the internet conjure these days. Sigh... *rolls eyes* I don't see how people can ask someone to be his/her girlfriend/boyfriend without even meeting them in person. Though *snigger* *snigger* when I gave him my photo....I got a compliment. Nyuk nyuk nyuk... perasan lah tu.

Well, almost had to break my promise to some people of not being able to come online tonight but in the end, plans to yam cha have been cancelled so most likely I will be around to chat. That is, if I'm not needed elsewhere (and there are people who message me ~ ya, I seldom message people first so bear with me)

My apologies to these people (if you do read my blog):
- Lai Ching (sorry I typed those words)
- How Zan (said change to Yahoo but then I cabuted to MP)
- Huwi Yin (always unable to chat with you)
- Raelynne (not being able to help you out the past 3 days)
- Dad (who just came in and scold me for having a messy room)
- Any others who I've forgotten....can't think of anymore right now.

Don't ask me why I'm typing this for the whole world to see....I'm not myself today, I'm crazy and I'm weird. And I feel people are being mean to me today also. So, I'm sad too.

I'm back..... maybe cos I have stuff to write now? Well, there are things that happen in between my last 2 posts. Firstly, I forgot to mention that waves of bad news came to me during that time. Was a little sad but I'm hoping for the best. 3 things to highlight only. First, Masami mentioned that she might pull out from cosplaying after her 'disaster' with her costume. (Noo...worst case scenario, wear your yukata here) Second, that baka Traxx said some mean things. (Baka baka) And lastly, Rizal will not be able to make it to the cosplay event. (Don't worry, I'll send some pictures)

Well, just if people are interested, I'm going to talk about my experience at first time sewing wear-able clothings. Those who are not interested, please skip this paragraph. Firstly, I had to do it at my grandma's place since my mum was against me sewing my own costume. So, I had to smuggle the cloth and bring it there (my mum didn't even know I bought the cloth). And when I reached there, I found out I forgot to bring any reference for the costume (yes, I did it all on sheer memory of it) and any chalk to draw out on the cloth. What more, I forgot to smuggle along any sewing stuff (needles, pins, scissors, etc) needed for the production on my costume. Only thing I can think of doing then was to use whatever my grandma had (lucky she had the same coloured threads I wanted ~ though it's new and I did the opening ceremony of it ~ felt bad) plus using....believe it or not, powder to draw out my costume on the cloth. If following my plan, I was to buy some mahjong paper (white coloured ones) to draw out my costume on there first and then when everything is ok, I transfer it to the cloth. Thus without the mahjong paper, my grandma told me to use newspaper. I certainly did not feel comfortable using it. How am I suppose to draw on something which has printings on them? But that was my only choice so I proceeded with it. Measuring time!! Obviously I did not bring any measuring tape with me and my grandma told me she probably did not have one (though she's a sweetie to help find in places where she thinks she might put if she did have one) so I resorted to measuring with threads. Yes, normal everyday plain threads (I used black though). Measure, cut, stick it to a paper and label them. If it was not for dedication, I would have given up a long time ago. Still, results were not bad. Bad stitches, yes. But as long as it's wear-able, I don't give a damn.

I have updated my TagBoard, giving it some colours and all. (You guys just talk cr@p there, ok?) And I have been trying to change certain stuffs on my Blog. Well, changes will be seen later, not now cos I'm still kind of deciding on the shades I want. Just to inform in advance, I'm using one of my favourite colours, and it is NOT orange (though when I look at it, it ain't that bad). So, watch out for a change later on.

End of holidays: 2 days and counting....

Seems like I'm a little addicted to blogging now, eh? Well, guess I was wrong about the waking up late at home part cos I woke up at 1.00 PM today!!! Damn I need to readjust my clock (been sleeping after 2 AM and waking up in the afternoon) or else I'll be dead meat at the camp. Hope Shu Yin is an early riser so she can wake me up.

Nothing much happened between now and my previous post (what can happen within a few hours ~ half of it used to sleep and there is no dream for me to write on either) but I did forget to mention something in my previous post. I'm quite hooked on a way to tie my hair now. Hehehe....those who watch anime, I do it Kenshin style now. :D

Blogging does not mean once a day, right? Cos I intend to write another one about today later at night....since now I just woke up and nothing happened except for a certain yelling. Hehehe....better not write so much about it. Who knows in case my parents stumble upon this site...then I'll be dead meat. 2 days and counting.....~till the end of my holidays~

Saturday, September 13, 2003

I'm back...... Well, been 'missing' for 2 days since I spent those days at my grandma's. If I were to tell every single thing that happened to me there, I think it would be more of a 2000 word essay. So, skipping all those, I had fun there....well, a little since my grandma don't put so much rules on me like the ones I'm bound to at home. For instance, both days I woke up at 1.30 PM. Hahhaa...something I can hardly do here (ya, I'm back home now). Though the reason would most probably be because the bed is soooo comfortable there and I just can't get my sleepy head off it. Another good thing would be there are no screamings heard from the back of the house to the front, asking me to clean my room, clear my things off the table, do this, do that. :D And what more, I got my own quailty time (one which I so desperately for a very long time - my last personal quality time was during the last semester break when I spent a few days at my grandma's too) re-thinking who I am, and all those cr@p. Well, it's not that bad actually...I encourage people to try it. An extra bonus would be I get time to do my costume too. (Being that my mum is against me sewing my own costume)

Downside I think are only a few. I don't know why but I got mad quite easily over the slightest matter (though it happened only once or twice), matters that I would not even spend a second thinking about. Well, maybe I got too much thinking time there. And another downside would be not having access to the internet. Kinda forced myself not to bring along my laptop and waste my grandma's money on the phone bill. Hehehe....

To sum it up, lucky my cousin came to stay for a day (she came yesterday) so I did not have to help clean the house. I was merely the driver there, bringing my grandma to dinner and to visit her brother (my granduncle). Of course I paid for dinner....well, small things make people happy so I don't mind spending people once in a while. And a good thing she came too cos we can talk about BOYS!!!!! Hahaha....hope she does not leak out on anything I've said. Uuuuggguu....blackmailing is bad....

So now, here I am back home with internet access....without the guts to take out my costume (for the cosplay event in MMU Melaka campus on 4th October 2003 ~ do come) to sew since my mum is against it. And my 'greetings' when I got home were as usual, lectures on my messy table, my scattered things to be kept and a whole lot more. So, I choose to whine here. Hahahaa....bear with me.

My brother's still in KL so I'm kinda left to chat with people online or to just watch some anime to kill time. Would not be able to sleep late too since I'm being monitored. And I miss my friends soooo much. How Zan made me happy telling me Huwi Yin would be coming back early, maybe tomorrow. So, I'm kinda overjoyed cos I get to see my koishii (japanese word for darling) before I shoot off to Sungkai, Perak for a construct camp. (Damn those SRC people who threatened to hold off the club's budget if we don't send representatives)

Oh, ya. Parts of my body are aching a little as well cos I overdid my workout on my first night at my grandma's. And I did not feel any fitter than I was the day before. :( Need my weekly dose of swimming now more than ever. Hope they allow us to swim at Sungkai. Should be fun if we get to swim in the lake.

Anyway, for now I better shut my yapping before I put more people to sleep (sure some have skipped reading cos I'm too draggy...but hey, that's me). And a tagboard will be up soon (depends on how fast I get How Zan to teach me) so please....give your comments, ya? Till then....chao...

Thursday, September 11, 2003

Today (well, not exactly today cos it's after 12.00 am) has been a tiring day for me, yes it has. Firstly the minute I wake up, my mum started nagging me about how messy my room was and gave me only 2 days to clean it. Dang....spoiled my mood of enjoying Rave and Gensomaden Saiyuki. Anyways, I kept on watching while listening to some lecture in the background until...... she came bursting into the living room and scolded me even more. She even threw some of my stuffs that were on a stack of chairs. Things went flying (my wallet, keys, bag and some other stuff I just bought the day before) but thankfully a few things remained on the chair. One being the sunglasses I bought for How Zan (the one Ee Lin bought in Genting). Phew.....lucky else I have no idea it will break or not.

Then came the time when I cleared my cupboard. Well, not a bad job I'd say (though I did not throw much from the cupboard). It was more of rearranging the stuffs so it looks neater and can fit more stuffs in it. Then I found some of my old books lying around. Threw some (since they were like form 4 and form 5 exercise books) and kept some but one which caught my attention was actually my so-called diary I had back in form 4. Well, I would not call it a diary cos I only wrote the last few pages of it during a certain period (I think lasted for about 2 or 3 months). And when I read it, I was in shock. Totally shocked at what I wrote. Hehehe...not telling the content but.... I did not know I was so mean back then. So totally not the me now....at least I think not. :D

Later on there was not much I did except going over to Raelynne's house to teach her some stuff on her pc. Then came back home and went online. Did not really do anything much I think after my arrival back home. Missed pasar malam today but I was not looking forward to going there either.... no one to go with anyway.

Guess that's about it for now... A huge apology if I bored you to death. Hahaha...this IS my first time posting on a blog. So read or die (oops...too much anime in me)...read or leave it.....I'm not forcing anyone to read, ne? Till the next post....byeeee....
