I can't believe it's already October. Time is sweeping by at an outrageous speed. Hardly have enough time to get everything done.

Firstly, happy birthday to Mel. Her birthday was on the 5th and I think this is my 5th time or so wishing her. On Sun (4th), we went to Nambawan to celebrate with her. Lydia turned up with burnt pancakes which she really thought were her birthday cake gone wrong. Ah! Mel, she believes just about everything anyone says. Lydia, the 'professional chef' spoilt her reputation. She's such a good cook she could hardly burn the pancakes so much so some of them she used dark chocolate to make it 'look' burnt. We had candles and everything so Mel really fell for it. AND she was happy with it. Haha.

But after dinner, Nick brought out the real cake which was caramel cheesecake. A randomly selected flavour which so happened was Mel's favourite. Telepathy maybe? Hmm.. She was so shocked to see a REAL cake she just stared at it. Poor girl..

The innocent birthday girl

Grilled Lamb in Butter Mint Sauce (what I had)

Food here is good and reasonably priced. Check out Nick's viewpoint here and Darren's report here.

On another note, all thanks to God that weekend classes for P2 are cancelled. It has been rescheduled to next Friday instead. Had been praying past few days because my Saturdays were all packed and I didn't want to miss church. I certainly didn't want to miss class as well. God opened a way and now I can still go about my Saturday programs and not miss church and yet still able to attend classes.

Also, wishing Happy Birthday to Xing Ying who'll be celebrating her birthday on the 9th.

Today's traffic was considerably smooth-flowing. I took only 20 minutes to reach college as opposed to 45 minutes just the day before. On Wednesday, there was a 2.5km jam just as I went into the highway. So anyway, I thought I was going to be late today as I left home at 7.30am. I overslept. Did group accounts homework till around quite late last night. At first I thought it was because maybe a lot of people have already 'balik kampung', but Lydia said Federal was super jam today. So maybe it's just my lucky day. =)

As I was already running late, I didn't have time for breakfast or coffee. Went to class feeling hungry. Ms Menon didn't even give us a lunch break so we (or at least I did) starved from last night till around 2.30pm when I actually had lunch. And then had to try to finish the 'angpau' she gave. Basically, more homework.

Selamat Hari Raya to all who are celebrating.

Also, happy birthday to Sam, who just got his iPhone. =)

Defying Gravity

Not to worry. This is not about Keith Urban's album. Although I must say, I do love his songs.

Having some extra time in between some hectic schedule. So now for some updates.

Had class almost every day and it's kinda getting tiring. Hmm..

Still working on the website. Beginning to think it's taking up too much of my time BUT I gotta get it all up AT LEAST by year end. Thanks Alex for helping me thus far. So far so good. I have changed the look yet another time. So far quite satisfied. Will continue later after WCA. =)

P3 class today was headachy. (Is that a word?) I wasn't really sure what was going on in class. Maybe I'm just really tired. Wei Ping said I drop stuff around 6 times already. He was busy counting how many things I dropped instead of listening. Sam was busy playing some game on iPhone. Meow was hiding behind her jacket most of the time. And I was busy dropping stuff, doing experiments on how to defy gravity :D I can't think of a nicer title.

Basically, it's been a long day, and it's still not over yet. Feeling excited already. ^^

Also remembering this date 8 years ago. *moment of silence*

Can History Get Any More Worse?

Holidays are over. Classes have commence again.
Today was the first day back to classes and the first subject was F4: Corporate and Business Law. I didn't really know what was going on and I have a not so good feeling about this subject. It's like history rebirth and except much worse. All I knew was the lecturer said the word "law" many many times.. Oh well!!

My new timetable 'seems' more relaxed as now I only have 8am-6pm classes once a week. Other days are not as long. But I know it's not going to be that easy. There's no such thing as LIFE!!

I'm just saying these things to vent my frustration that the holidays are over and I can't sack the college admin. Really wished I could..

Life's Over, Back To No Life

One week of holiday is going to end. Back to study life, if that is even a life. This one week seems to pass so fast, in one blink of an eye, it's gone...

It's only 3 more weeks to finals and I'm not prepared for it at all. Feels terrible being a midnight oil burner but at the same time just can't pull my lazy self together and heed Ms. Joyce's advice. Exams are just round the corner as in the corner is already very near. EDC and EFC will be starting soon and I wonder will I be there staring at the lecturer thinking what on earth is going on? I hope not..

Weather is not helping in any way either. It's too hot. I think the sun is coming towards us. Nah, that's just some crazy hypothesis which doesn't make sense and is never going to happen. I blame it on the heat. Imagine getting headache after waking up from sleep and so hot that taking 2-3 baths a day is not enough. People suggest soaking in mud but hmm.. that'll probably make me sicker than I already feel I am. Maybe I'm just dreading going back to jail class. =(

What's Your Problem?

A few of us went for the SAC Social Gathering last night. It was supposed to start at 6.30pm but it only started at nearly 8pm. Normal lah, Malaysians ma.. They had performances and lucky draws and food. The food was okay nia considering the fact that it's free. I stayed till around 10pm and I cabut la.. It was quite a good event and I did enjoy myself. I'm not really a huge fan of events like these but it was quite good, better than some others I've been to.

Rewinding...
Before that, we had around 2 hours plus of extra time (not idle time). So, we decided to go to the library (bunch of kiasu nerds :p). Here, a whole new drama started. We met some other classmates but whom we weren't really close to. They only had a few classes with us as they were from another group. But even so, it did not deter K (Some of you may know who she is, some don't. Just to protect her already tainted reputation, I'm going to just refer to her as 'K') to go watch movies with them. She went with this girl (I'm just gonna call her 'Z' can?) and some of her friends (none of us really know them).

Situation 1
In the library, where it is so silent you can hear a pin drop, stands K, under a sign which says "No mobile phones".(Too bad I don't have a picture to prove)
*already in the middle of a conversation on the phone*

K: Eh, you come and fetch me go out la.. We go makan.. Then you fetch me back to college lar.. (in chinese) (and really loudly)

The WHOLE group of students there (mostly classmates) : SSHHH!!!!

K: *continues talking ever so loudly*

The WHOLE group: SSSHHHHH!!! Eh, this is library la!!!

Situation 2
She meets 'Z' and starts talking...

Z: Eh, your name is Carmen right?
K: YOUR head la.. (so rude.. too much.. *shakes head*)
Z: Then? What's your name?
K: *says her name*
Z: Whatever la.. I don't know your name but I know your name have something to do with car(s) wan la.. Eh what's your number ar?
K: 01x-xxx xxxx
Z: How to spell your name?
K: *spells for her*
Z: Hah? Your name not spelled as c-a-r?

I think by now most of you would have guessed what car this is.

Situation 3
'Z' and gang were packing up their books preparing to leave the library..

Z: We're going to Pyramid to watch 10,000BC (irony totally intended!)
K: Eh, I also wanna go...
Z: Come la..
K: Where you put your files?
Z: Why do you think I bring such a big bag for?
K: Then my files how?
Z: Put in the car la.. What's your problem? *gangsteristically*

The thing that really gets me is how she can just go off with some bunch of people whom she doesn't even know? AND to make things worse she doesn't drive.. If they took her to sell... (probably won't get much out of the sales anyway) but STILL! Doesn't all these go through her brain first? These days anyone, as in ANYONE can do ANYTHING... It's literally dangerous these days to just go out like that with anyone you know very well let alone just a little. In fact, there have been cases where own friends betray their good friends. You never know just how wicked the world is today.. K, you don't LIVE in 10,000 BC, where it's safer.. But then again, considering it's K!! Oh well.. I rest my case.. I had to repeat things I say for heaven knows how many times and STILL she doesn't understand.. Simple things like "It doesn't have to be a Friday in order to go out, right?" That, I repeated like 6 times.. And all 6 times she replies, "Hah?" Goodness gra-sias... Talking to her can vomit blood, like literally..

Goodbye...

Yesterday 14 of us went to KLIA to see off Zi Jian, who went to New South Wales for his final year in engineering. His flight was at 9.45pm on board MH9143. He first flew to Changi Airport in Singapore where he took another flight to Adelaide. Sure gonna miss you!!

Before that, some of us went for the CF in college. The service was quite ok and people there are friendly. Did enjoy myself abit. =)

Other than that, it's been a normal week..

Note: Happy birthday to Min En.
