Say it isn't so, tell me you're not leaving

And so it seems, more and more people are leaving THE UNI. I don't have to say WHY.

First up, is Matt. [I kinda saw this coming but was never quite sure whether it was an exchange or a credit transfer.]  I still remember how we first met, or rather when we first met - at our course transition program.

If I am not wrong, we were instructed to go up to the library to so-call learn the art of looking up books in the library. So, as always, I took the lift up. The lift was about to close so I ran in. Thank GOD, some guy held the door for me. :)

And immediately, I turned around to say my thank you :) For some reason, he told me: Hey! I've seen you around in Sri KDU before... and in Sunway, too!


OMG OMG OMG OMG !!! WHY?! Was he stalking me? LOL! And to think that he actually recognized me back in the days without my SPECS????!!!

Well, yeah, I guess I did see him somewhere but just couldn't remember where. Heh.


The rest, as people always say, is history. :)

I am definitely going to MISS YOU, Matt.

For all the times we joked about characters in movies and/or TV series

For all the times you willingly held my hand up and down the lecture hall(s)

For all the times we discussed our past year exams and went bonkers about them last minute

For all the times we complained about... stuff

but most of all for being MR. NICE-GUY :)

Next, is Rachel L. This came as quite a shock as I thought... well, she was gonna continue her studies in the same UNI for GOOD but.... only GOD knows. Hmm, we were in the same tute for COM, I think. If I had to say something about her, it would be... that she had trouble keeping her mouth shut..... :P Forever talking, talking, and talking!!! OMG, man. At first, it was a little hard to handle her oh-so-extrovert personality but after a while, I learnt that she was quite a FUN person, too :) Her laughter, often funnier than the joke; her sense of humour, nobody could beat. Apart from being the OMG queen, a lot of us call her "the girl with sexy legs" :P (TM meeting jokes  FTW. Heh.)

Because of her, I told myself to join Toastmasters and truth be told, I had no regrets. As I grew slightly CLOSER to her, I've grown to like her :) And IF there's ONE thing that I'd never forget in my entire life is that night when you sent me back after our Toastmasters gathering (okay, erm up to Tropicana which is like what? 10-15 mins to my hse.) It was ONE HELL OF A RIDE! In my heart, I was thinking, damn, this girl... she's.... CRAZY! Half the time, I was PRAYING that we didn't collide or crash into other vehicles/cars. If my parents sat in her car, it would have been the FIRST and the LAST time they'd ever want to, because I swear.... like I said earlier, it was ONE HELL OF A RIDE! A ride that I wouldn't have experienced if not for her offering to send me back.

Even though after the ride, I felt like murdering her, you know I'd still have to thank her :)

We may not have known each other for very long but the things you've taught me, all that lame jokes & infectious laughter of yours, I will truly miss. Toastmasters meetings will never be the same without you. NO, REALLY. TOASTMASTERS WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.


I still cannot believe you're leaving. Will probably take a while for this to sink in.



Sigh, but I guess, we have to learn to let go.

no matter how surreal it may seem,


two people who have left such an impact in my life - though I may not have been very VOCAL about it,


I'll have to let go with all my heart.






PS: If anyone else is leaving (and I know you from A-Z), let me know so I can TYPE a post about you :) :) :)

Sunshine

I really really LOVE this ringtone so much; I just had to download the mp3 into my music library and transfer it into my Nokia... that is btw going bonkers :P

Thank Goodness I owned the Galaxy Tab. Otherwise, wouldn't have come across a beautiful ringtone. Hee :)

Oh, and finally I can "embed" videos onto my blog! Whee! Let's hope it works *fingers crossed*

a post that is worth reading... I hope

Time flies. It's day 3 of CNY already? Wow.

I guess I'm just gonna write about my CNY, then.... (like anyone reads this anyway)

Unlike many other CHINESE New Years (where we stayed at my aunt's house OR where the whole IPOH GANG comes down to busy KL) this year, we went back - albeit it was a day trip.

Out of nowhere,  mummy told me about HOW LONG we used to take to get back. Wanna know? 6-8 hours. Wahlau wei. Yalah, no highway yet mah, that time. She told me HOW SHE USED TO BRING THE BASKET to put me inside. Hee :) And the milk bottle :) and of course all things necessary for a baby :) Haha. I knew I went back to Ipoh since I was small but didn't expect to be brought in a basket. LOL.

Heh, maybe that's why, the moment I reached 12 years of age, I stopped going back... for SEVEN years. Mainly because the school's workload is argh! Besides, yours truly is really LAZY when it comes to packing, especially when my mum's like: EH, wanna bring the black skirt or the blue skirt? I mean, aiyah... cincailah, any skirt will do. I mean, it's not like I'm staying there for a MONTH and MUST look NICE... unless it's somebody's wedding. Then suddenly, she's like... aiyah, blue one not nice ah. Take the black one. Sweat. LOL. Okay, I'm such a complainer. Haha.

 Got me thinking of one CNY where I brought my MATEMATIK TAHUN 5 textbook and exercise book, precisely because I had maths homework. Did it in the car. My cousin sat in the car along with his mum - my aunt. I think we were otw to another aunt's house... or is it,  to MY place? Hmm...



- FLASHBACK BELOW

Well, my cousin  saw my homework. LOL, he must have thought... eh, why I so rajin gila, one? Being my least favourite subject at school, I had trouble with the math problems. My cousin on the other hand was a natural math genius :) Apa lagi, he watched me do my math and constantly had to REMIND me to "CARRY UP" my ones or twos. I think at that time, the topic was PERPULUHAN. Even worse, I wasted a lot of time converting my fractions to a decimal number. Bah. I bet my cousin was thinking, Oi, WHY this girl so slow-one. LEMBAB, tahu tak? HAHAHA. But, he didn't say that-lah of course :) He taught me a little before I got tired and went to sleep with my mechanical pencil still in hand. XD



All that when I was 11...

And because I didn't go back for SEVEN long years, we grew apart. Sigh, as a kid, probably it was still fun to mingle around with them. But, after that, aduhai, PAISEH nak mampus... partly because I suck at my CHINESE dialects... and mostly because he's a GUY XD All we do now is just say HI, and when we are too shy, WAVE while SMILING. :) Power tak? :P

It took my dad and my aunt to convince me to go back in 2008. Yep, I did.

And I ain't complaining anymore since dad has agreed to do day trips. LOL XD

Whoa, I didn't know this would turn out to be a LONNNNNGGG post :P Thanks to me for rambling a lot.

Argh

silly blogger does not allow me to embed videos the way it used to. or is it because I'm using the new Blogger layout? Ish!

So

Megaupload shut down?

What else?

Let's hope they don't do so to You Tube :(

The first ever video I watched on YouTube... in high school thanks to Mr Sai Mun aka the funny Chem teacher of mine. :)

Sigh, guess we just have to embrace if this ever happens. Gotta learn to live without YouTube - just like we did 10 years ago.

a little more wordy, I hope

Hmm, I've been looking around for jobs. Jobs that actually SUIT me. But, for some reason, MARKETING seems to be popping up the most. Eww. I already suck at talking, what more persuading and you want ME to MARKET your product? Gosh, no way. So, with marketing out of the way, I am left with what? TV presenter? So paiseh. Paiseh nak mampus.

Takkan nobody wants writers meh? Or corporate comm. Or me editing stuff. Well, I would say my strong point is language BUT unfortunately, I suck at punctuation. I just don't know why. :(

I have written to 20+ over companies but... haih... I guess, my C.V. ain't impressive enough. :( I shall wait until I grad, I suppose?

Takkanlah nak layan Sartre only? I can barely get beyond page 10. That also, doesn't mean I rmb what's on page 9. Good God. Then, there's d Authorship reader to worry about. Don't get me started.

MCP on the other hand is quite manageable except that some of the theories are NEW therefore I take a longer time to grasp.

Third year's coming soon and I can't afford to flunk any of my papers. I do not want to get carried away by HOW AWESOME the subject aka UNIT sounds and then...... totally flunk my papers. What's more, I have probably ONE of the MOST random timetables in the world. Like, on Tuesday, I start at 3pm? Seriously?! Smack in the middle of nowhere? And then Wed, I start early? Thurs has to be one of the most i-don't-know-how-to-describe days. I mean, a 5-6-hour break, in between? My pals say we can hang out! Yes, I know but... do you seriously want to hang out for 12 weeks? Bah, that's why it's LAPTOP / TABLET day on Thurs. I don't know IF I will LOAN DVDs to watch but we'll see. Fri is less crazy except that I'd prolly have to run from one class to another because they had to put it back to back.... which is probably CRAZY after all. Thank God I know the lecturer for that other class. AND thank God, he's friendly.

The saving grace is that I have Mon off. Yay, I officially start in March! :P       

Edit: After checking the calendar onethousand times, I finally realised I start 28th next month... since it also happens to be a leap year? So, I ain't starting in March after all :(    

You don't have to like Twilight to like this song

LOVE the melody MORE than the blasted series XXXXXX

Domino - Jessie J

Every second is a highlight

Oooh, a catchy/ upbeat song :)

Wasting time... yet again

January is here. Should I be happy? Hmm, actually I do not know whether I should be happy. It only means the day I go back and nerd at UNI is getting nearer and nearer. So, I better do as much as possible before 3rd year comes into the picture with thousand and one more responsibilities to handle. God, is handle the right word? I don't even know. Haih, nevermind-lah.
