Finally

Finally, after 12 weeks/3 months/ 84 days I'm back home. =) Have been too engrossed in my Brisingr book till I've neglected my already neglected blog ( that sounded weird ) =P.

And then we'll shall see. Kuching waittttttt forrrrrrrr meeeeeeeeee.. Shall be getting home in 6 more weeks. 6 more bloody weeks. Ah. for now. Stay tune for my next update. In em... =) you know lar.... lecehnya to online over there. Love you guys. Mwah mwah

Escaped from Shah Alam

Yup, am at my cousin's place for a few days to escape the depressing land of depression. =P Shah Alam has been pretty deserted the past few days because of Raya. The shops are mostly closed and well I guess the residents also mostly dah balik kampung. Here? Its a different story. According to my cousin, Serdang ( the place where I'm currently staying) used to be a Hakka village. So, well you know. Chinese. Haha, its pretty delightful to see chinese coffee shops around. And seeing Chinese FOODD... gosh glorious chinese food, if you get my drift. =) Weelllll, had a swelll birthday on Sunday. Thanks guys for all the birthday wishes/presents/sms/gifts all the way from Kuching ( thanks a million Leon!) , am so so touched and honoured to have great great wonderfull undescribably superb friends like you all. And oh oh, my bro and sis actually made me a bear and are sending it over here all the way from Singapore!!! How cool can that be. So So So So excited to receive it! hahaha. Saw the picture of the bear and its adorable! Pink somemore with surgeon's outfit( ah, should be my bro's idea). thankies so much!

Oh oh, about the birthday! Celebrated it at Ikano/ The Curve that area. Had pancakes for lunch, gosh, you should see the amazing varieties of pancakes at Paddington House of Pancakes. And I thought that pancakes were the normal flour kinda you eat with honey and syrup. My perception of pancakes have changed ever since I ate there. And And And for tea/snack whatever you wanna name it ( yea, I know we have humongous appetites, its a result of staying in KL) we had curry puffs/hotdogs/meatballs/ choc balls at Ikea. The meatballs there are HEAVEN, simply HEAVEN, and the choc balls?? ah nothing tastes better. The curry puffs are one of a kind too. Highly recommend you all to eat at Ikea. Cheap and simply delicious. LOL. =) oh and dinner?? HAHAHA can laugh till don't want laugh. Went to Carl's Jr, the guys ordered 3 burgers mana tau come another 3 EXTRA burgers with fries and salad some more. How good can this get? Carl's Jr burger lagi, don't play play. All in all it was a wonderful day, was pretty reluctant to leave after that. Oh well..

Its much nicer being at my cousin's place. Much more convenient. Love the internet speed here. Good for blogging. Sadly, didn't think of bringing my hp cable here. If not this post could have been filled with pictures.of. FOOD. Mwahaha.. oh and cuzzy brought me to Ikea and 1U again yesterday. The wonders of having a car. It makes travelling about so much more easier. And oh yea, really love shopping at Ikea. >.< confession there. =) Am so gonna bring Amy here next time. Poor her cramming for her SATs. Wish her luck yea. =)

I can survive...hopefully

7 more weeks. to home. Ah, why does time seems to be crawling??? It's been hell here. The environment sucks so much that I don't think its conducive for learning. =( Sometimes I get really stress out here. No, my studies are not that hard, it's the people. Everywhere I go I'll see people studying till I get so sick of doing so. It amazes me how amazingly hardworking people here can be. I can fall asleep to the sound of someone studying and rise in the morning to see the exact same person at the exact same place doing the exact same thing. Ah, and my sanity. I'm afraid I'm losing it. Blame the environment.My mind keeps seeming to bug me to do things that I'm not required to do. And if I don't do so I'll be left with a guilty feeling. Talk about abnegation. I've been practising it voluntarily. =/ On a lighter tone, after tomorrow I'll be having raya hols! for a week! =) Sadly, I'm unable to spend it at home =(. Oh well. At least its hols. By the way, the computer lab in my hostel decided to take it's Raya hols too. Starting from today till 6 Oct. So much for having more computer time during hols. =S. How convenient.



Anyway, just celebrated my birthday today with a couple of my friends. Had a nice multi-racial birthday party. First ever I guess. =) And it was really fun. Had tons of pizza courtesy of my parents. Thanks Mum. Thanks Dad. I miss them so much =(. And this is also the first year ever that I'm celebrating my birthday far far from home. Missed that homey feeling and my mum's home made stuff. Nothing beats my mum's cooking and my bro's bbq-ing. =) Fascinating how the human mind only starts to really appreciate all the simple little things in life when its hard to get. Lesson of the day: appreciate everything that happens no matter what. LOL.



I think I had too much pizza. Its 0039 and I'm still here blogging hyper-actively. Having classes and a test tomorrow. Oh well. Lets countdown again. =)

3 days till I turn 18 * hint hint*

1 week of Raya hols

3 weeks of mad-dashing to finish our 1st sem syllabus

2 weeks of study leave

1 week of finals

and then...

sigh... HOME =)

i love i love.

praying hard that I'll survive.



By the way, many thanks to my family for the wonderful birthday.

And my ever so caring housemates. Ah, I think their personal goal in life is to get me to eat unhealthily. =P LOL kidding.

And my ever so ever so loving friends. I heart you all.

Bloated chocoholic gotta get tons of water into her system and try to sleep.

mwah mwah

nite nite

Four floors up

Yup, am blogging from four floors up for the very first time. Am typing furiously on my housemate's laptop which she kindly lent me to update my blog/keep in touch with the internet world/ do something other than studying >.<. Ah, sorry for the lack of updates. Haven't been quite in the mood for blogging and was too lazy to go hunt around for a computer to do so. Plus was feeling really crappy the previous weeks, don't ask me why, mood swings I guess. LOL.

Oh and guess what, we had a moment (a VERY slight moment ) of joy when we were informed that we were allowed to wear short sleeves around our hostel and college. For a day. And the new dress code was abolished today. Because someone didn't approve it. >.<

Oh, and I've been having tests practically every week>.< So much to adding to my already very crappy mood. Anyway, am counting down the weeks till i can get home! HAHAHA 9 more weeks baby! and i'll be back home. Away from this crappy place. *grins* That's the thing that keeps me going. Oh well.

2 more weeks to Raya hols. 2 more weeks to my birthday and 9 more weeks till I get home. =) Am in the mood to go wandering round KL this weekend. =)

For now, tata. =) will blog again when I get the mood to. Take care guys. =)

I'm BACKKKKKKKKK

I'm BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*inserts stick man screaming maniacally and a running Energizer bunny*

I love love love love homeeeeeeeee. I've been eating home cook food as if there's no tomorrow. =) Been watching TV like crazy, oh dear TV how I've missed you *strokes TV gently* Been eating my mum's muffins, ah nothing beats my mum's home made muffins, made with love. =) And I can't stop smiling. =) See, see, notice how many smileys there are in this paragraph??? =) To top it off, I've went to Kuching Fest again last night, ah it was nice to see Flo and Tina and Noah and Siew and Audrey and Siaw Wee and......... again. =) And it was indescribably superb to have a chauffeur again although he has an uncanny ability to make me feel guilty *cringes*. =) thankyouuuuuuuuu so much, you know how much I appreciate youuuuuuuuuu driving us around. =)

Anyway, time for photos, yea baby, INTEC photos coming up. =)
