Photos...

I know. I seldom upload photos on my blog. Well, since you can't be there in KMJ, why not I'll be a tour guide (a lousy one though) and show you some photos of KMJ. Credit to Cindy who took most of the photos.

One of the many pondok in KMJ...

tutorial park. Sat here every Wednesday while waiting for Chemistry lab lecturer to come.

Cindy's pasta. That's the bedsheet and pillow case that we got.

my study table. it wasn't that empty. I cleared out all my sem 1 notes and books. It's small. I don't even use it. I do all my work on my bed.


closer look of my memo. I just love that comic. It's soooo... sweet!


some of my classmates and I in dewan kuliah.

outside dewan kuliah...

I know. I know. We planned to wear pink that day. That's why.


before Chemistry lab.


just finished this and Stardust. Nice one.

bought this recently. Am aiming for The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

Speaking test was over. Kind of did a stupid mistake. Sigh... The rest will be on this Saturday. I think it'll be kind of hard to get band 5. Sigh... Going back to Tangkak tomorrow. So don't expect any post till... I don't know. A month later, maybe. I'm sure I'll be back on the 5th of December. Got holiday from 25th to 29th December. Oh ya. My uncle is getting married this Saturday and heaps thanks to MUET, I can't be there. Sigh... Pity me... Never mind. At least next year I'll get an extra angpow. Have been waiting 18 years for that. Haha...

Holiday!!!

=.= As if you can actually call this a holiday. Let's see... Monday I'm going back since my MUET speaking test is on Tuesday. Then coming back in the afternoon. Then going back on Friday for MUET listening, reading and writing which is on Saturday. Sigh...

Time flies. I know I'd mentioned the same phrase in my last post and I'm mentioning it again since it's so true. I really come to realise this after 5 months (WHAT!!!) in KMJ. I mean one minute I saw my name on the internet and rushed to Tangkak and the next minute, final is over and sem 2 will start on the 10th. Wow... 5 months passed just like that... Can't believe it...

Contrary to common belief, matriculation life is NOT easy and you cannnot goyang kaki most of the time. It can be really, really, really hectic. Everyday attend classes from 8 to 4. Then got mountain of tutorial works to finish. And also the Chemistry and Bio lab reports which are usually due the next day after the experiments. And don't forget the almost weekly quiz. But luckily, so far, I manage to cope. But, then, by the time the holiday come, I'll feel the exhaustion and will spend most of my time sleeping. Since the last day of class, and throughout the study week and exam, I barely get more than 5 hours of sleep. Now, I'm feeling a little under the weather but still ok.

Sleep.. Finally...

No no. Don't get me wrong, life there is quite interesting though. With all the different people and different knowledge waiting for me to explore, I'm actually thankful that I'm here although many Chinese don't really like it. Maybe it's because I'm always different than most of the Chinese (remember my life in secondary school?). Everyday, I'll thank God in my prayer. I don't know how I manage to get this offer since the chance for getting it is bleak and why I accept this offer instead of form 6 but I know God has a plan for me. I'll try my very best for my future.

Still remember the day where we got to dissect white mice for Bio. I got to do one all by myself without partner. Yipee!!! For those who think I'm just a little girl with little courage and little heart, think twice! I remember when I went in front to take the equipments, Hanif (a Chinese Muslim) looked at me and asked 'You dare to do it or not?' Yaya... As if I'm scared to do so. Well, to be honest, I was quite nervous when I saw how my lecturer cut the mice as if it was something she does everyday. But the moment I cut its skin, I felt ok. So the moral of the story, don't be fooled by my height. Haha...

Notice the girl with the mask? That's me.

All the organs...


The 'empty' mouse.

The intestine...

The liver...

Heart and lungs...

Skull... Not opened yet...

Guess what??? We have CF (Christian Fellowship) here. The official one. Sarah told me that when they first applied through HEP (pengurusan hal ehwal pelajar), they rejected it. They appealed again. HEP rejected again. Then they applied through pengarah. He approved it. Hah... Our first meeting was on the 17th of October. Our next meeting will be after the holiday. It will be held about twice a month which is on the Friday of the week that we are not allowed to go back. Prayer meeting will be held in the week where we can go back. I only joined them about a month ago so I'm not that extremely close with them yet but they are very nice. We smile and greet each other if we bumped into each other. First CF meeting was great. It's opened to all except, of course, the Muslim students. Many Chinese joined us. It was fun. Since it's the first meeting so it's kind of like orientation where we got to know each other. Ruth was great with the guitar. She's pretty too. Tall and slim. Wow... Can't wait for the next CF...

Usually the same people go for the prayer meeting like Ben, Ruth, Zhao Ling, Lynette, Cindy (my room mate), Ying Ying, Wendy, me... A huge thanks to Poh Yee who told me of the Christian community here. If not, I'll not know of the Christians here. Since then, I'd been to the prayer meeting every time it's held. We do it at 7.30 in the morning before the class start in the tutorial park. First time, I was in the same group with Lynette, Cindy, Ben and Joanna. The second time, there were only 2 guys, Zhao Ling and Chun Xiang. Then Ruth asked Cindy and I to joined them. I was quite nervous since Cindy and Chun Xiang are non-Christian and Zhao Ling is quite a quiet guy. Luckily Ben showed up. Phew...

Tutorial park...

My gosh... Got to go. Will post some more photos in my next post. Ciao!!!
