Pink Mouse!!!

Yup. A pink mouse. A gift from Saren. According to him, it's a long due debt. Haha... I like the colour and it's really cute. Even my mum and my sis are trying to persuade me to leave it at home. Well, I really like the pink mouse but the problem is, I don't use mouse. Yup, the list of me being a weirdo is getting longer and longer... I'm comfortable with the mouse pad and I seldom touch the mouse. Of course, I didn't tell Saren that. No point letting him know. Besides I told him that I really like it and I do like it. It's very sweet. Thanks a lot to the guy who always call me shortie!!!

Oh ya, I almost forgot about this. How did I even forget to blog about it at the first place?! For book lovers, you really should visit HarperCollins website. They have this section called Browse Inside. There they offer full access on selected titles, which means you can read it for free. Wow... But to those who, like me, are used to reading books instead of reading it on computer, it'll be hard to stare at the computer for a long time. Eventually, I gave up unless the book is very interesting lah. So be sure to check it out ;)

Fashion Show and I???

So tired. If you still remember, I mentioned about a fashion show in my last post. My gosh... It was tiring. Practised almost every night. Teacher promised there'd be a runway. Thought of formation. Practised formation. Called my parents to send all the clothes and accessories. Tried on all the dresses. Chose a little black dress. Changed to a white dress. The reason: (given by my room mate) the black dress is hot but with a scarf, it looks plain. Spend RM150 on make up. Funny how my mum didn't say no when I asked for it. But she did say that this will be the first and the last. One of the girl pulled out on Thursday. We were so worried. Teacher said no 10 people, then we can't take part. The moment she said we can asked somebody else from another class, Sylvia passed by and she agreed to join us without second thought. (Love you, girl!!!)Saturday evening saw the notice that runway won't be provided. Rushed back and told my group about it. Came out with another formation at night. Started practice at 8 something until 11 something. All of us slept in Wei Rou's room. Tried on the white dress since they wanted to see me in it. Wei Rou did my hair to see which suits me. By 2.30, my hair was set and I had my dress on. Had to sleep faced down on the floor. Woke up at 4.30 am. Wei Rou and I tried all our best to wake the rest up. By 6.30 am, we started to make up. But we only managed to apply foundation on. by 7.25, all of us rushed to the hall for the registration. Since we were the 43rd group, we still had some time. We quickly make up. Helen did for me. She is good :) Practised some more. Watched the competition. A guy was shocked when Wei Rou, Sylvia and I walked in the hall. Guess we looked quite different... Our turned came. My heart was beating so extremely fast when I was at the backstage but the moment I came out, I wasn't nervous anymore. Well, we didn't win but we still had fun. Everyone was great that day and we took some photos. Even Wei Rou took many many many photos before removing her make up. She was so excited. Girls...

Wei Rou, Jah, Eza, Me and Sylvia

Sylvia, Poh Yee (from Ipoh), Wei Rou and I

I know I looked weird. People were telling me that I looked cute. Haha...

A dinner with the theme 'modern, elegant, fahionable' will be held on the 3rd. Have to make up again. Another dinner will also be held in February. Who would have thought that you have to attend formal dinner with make up and dresses in matriculation? Well, certainly not me. Another new experience and I had fun ;)

Hi after a long time...

I know, I know, I haven't update for a month, I think... Have been very busy lately. Next week got Moral multimedia presentation. And on the same day, I'm involved with the fashion show competition. No, no, you didn't read wrongly. Yes, yes, fashion show, people, fashion show. Go ahead. Bang your head on the wall. Laugh all you might. Just wait till I manage to find a place and hide myself. The theme we chose is formal dinner so it'll be my first time wearing a dress with make up. If it ends up well, I'll post photos here. And please wish me good luck, ok? I really need it.

Oh ya, I'm officially 18 years old!!! Yipee!!! (although I still look like an imature 13-14 year-old girl...) Thanks for all the birthday wishes :) You know the term double happiness??? My room mate used that on me. On 2nd December, final result came out. Oh my gosh... It was a suffering having to wait for a long time until you get to the lecturer and it's even worst when the queue didn't even move. Honestly, I almost cried right then. It was a total torture. When I saw my result, I immediately called my parents. When I told them I got 4, I cried right there. With hundreds of students around me. So malu... I couldn't help it. Another great news, the college will organize a all-paid (I think) trip to somewhere (last year was Cameron) for all the 4 flat students. Can't wait to go with Cindy (my room mate)!!!

It's kind of disappointing. I was not chosen for the Bio camp. 2 of my classmates are chosen. 1 Chinese guy from my kuliah was complaining since he doesn't want to go. I guess I have to accept the fact that getting 4 does not mean that you'll be chosen for anything. Nah, I don't want to go further into this topic.

I have to fill in the IPTA form next week. Most probably medic will be my first choice. I'm really interested with medic but I have to be prepared for a lot of things. Chu Yee was telling me that she is afraid to take up medic. You won't have time for anything. By the time you finish your study, you're already 30+. How about your family? She told me that when one of her friend insisted to take up medic, her mum asked her to get marry first. She also told her that she will take care of her children just as long as she has a family. For me, I don't really put much hope on this thing. I'm never the pretty one. No guys ever look at me. I don't mind being alone for the rest of my life but still I hate the feeling of being alone. Sigh... No matter how things turn up, I still pray for the best. I know He has a plan for me and His plan is always the best.

Have to finish my work. By 11, we can't use the wifi service. So annoying, right? I guess they are afraid that we will spend all our time online and forgot to study. Sigh... Will blog soon. Tata ;)

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...

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

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!!!

Good and Bad...

Good News:
Guess what I saw on mph website??? Thanks for the Memories by Cecelia Ahern!!! It is only selling for RM 33.90!!! Finally... I'd waited long enough for this moment and this is so going to be on the top of my book list. Can't wait for holiday to come and grab the book!!! Haha...

Bad News:
Something just happened suddenly. I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know why but it is something rather new to me and it terreifies me a lot. I really don't know what to do. I really want to talk to somebody about it but she's rather busy. I told Cindy (my room mate) about it. Not all the details, just part of it. She doesn't know how this is affecting me. Honestly, I also don't know why this is affecting me. This is just ridiculous. I really need to get over it. Some things are just impossible so it's better not to think about it. I don't know why. I really don't want to think about it but somehow it just keeps popping out and it really annoys me. Sigh...

Nice...

Just came across this song and I love it. Reminds me a lot of Where Rainbows End (Love this book!!!).

Lucky - Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every
Luckyto have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
