Today is my 3rd day of my break. However, not much went well. I had been doing nothing at all yesterday. Only went out to have lunch (bak kut teh) with my roommate's cousin over in SS14 (the usual haunt for bak kut teh delicacy in my area). Then head over to Carrefeur to look at some DVD player that she wanted to purchase. Other than that, i had been yawning and sleepy throughout the entire day...........always phasing out. But one thing happy though, ManU won against Chelsea =P
As for today, i too had nothing much in mind. Woke up almost near noon time. Since my uncle's wedding is just around 3 weeks away, i might as well go to the stores in Sunway Pyramid to look around for anything. But before that, as usual, a lunch at my favourite mamak joint. However, my favourite nasi briyani was already sold out by the time i reached there T_T. Had to settle with indo mee this time.
Then i head over..................forgot to mention, with some friends to shop. Well, actually i just went to Parkson to look around since i am not too fond of going to those other shops. Every formal clothes brand should be available there, or so i guess. Finally, found 4 that i quite like it, prices at around RM70-90 like that. However, this is only my opinion though. Frankly speaking, i've never go out to shop for this kind of clothes before. Last time around my mum would accompany me to look at it since she had been doing so for my dad for a very long time =P Now i am all alone.........................just hope that i won't get lectured by my mum for my choice =D
And tonight, there should be a steamboat organized by MEMS. Somehow, i don't feel like going to it at all. Not sure what is happening to me too. Just hope that i would be back normal soon =D While wondering around my documents, i realized that i've lots of photos that i've yet to post up. But that would have to wait.................................cause somehow my laptop's bluetooth function is not working suddenly...............

Finally, 8 weeks of total terror is finally over, at least for a week. Let me summarize what had happened during the "terror" period. Life was harsh. Everyday you would only be thinking how to do this report, how to answer that assignment, how to prepare the upcoming presentations and so on. Rest is nothing but an illusion you could dream of. Going out is also almost out of the question, only occasionally to release some stress or under really tight situations (getting supplies or celebrate something). To cut it short, i thought that 2nd year of uni is hard, but this is already surpassed that borderline. I only could wonder what would happen in my third year =_='
Nothing much to update too since my life has been revolving around my works only. However, with some exception. The only happiest moment is the part where my Anatomy's test was postponed till after the holiday. It was supposed to be held during the 8th week (last 2 week from this week). However, with massive amount of reports, assignments and presentation before, during and after that week, not to mention having a test already the week before, many of my coursemates complained to the lecturer of this unfairness...................since this test.........or appropriately said, exam would take up 1/3 of that subject's overall marks. Complains done, and finally postponement =P But nothing celebratory since i had to face a presentation that very Friday.........................
Sometimes, i managed to squeeze in some time for some relaxations, such as last week. Went to watch a basketball match between the girls of our uni with HELP's side in UCSI. However, before that match, we had to endure a 2 hour traffic jam. It was so terrible that at one point, we only managed to move 100 metres in 20 minutes time. I've been to UCSI before when i was checking it out for my uni prospect. However, i've never been to their halls before, so it came as a surprise as to how well equipped they are for their extra co-curricular activities. However, it would be a shame to my uni since in the old campus, we are only allowed badminton in the indoor halls..................and in the new campus, there is no such "halls" anymore (world class uni?...........)
Fast forward to this week, this week had been quite a hell too. Practically almost all works due this week (1 report, 1 assignment, 1 test) are on Friday. No one dare to play hooky for the entire week. I even had to miss my friend's basketball match for the sack of trying to understand what the hell i am suppose to with my reports. Luckily enough, managed to finish it before the time limit.
And whats better after such an hardy weeks is pure fun and there is no place where the gang would go but to cyber cafe =P We played and played and played for an entire afternoon, even including games like Starcraft that i'd never played for such a long time. As the night sets in, we head over to a pizza parlour. As usual, its accustomed to my batch now to celebrate their birthdays /gg Though it was not grand, but it's just better if we keep it small as long as everyone enjoys it =D And the food there is great (not the mention the "great" price).
Yesterday night, for the first time in weeks, i have the best sleep for this entire semester. Nothing to worry about for next week, nothing to hold in my hands but a novel that i had half-read before my life gets ruffled up.
Almost everyone not local to here head back their hometown, so i would expect a quiet week. But not for long as after the horizon after the holiday is seen, i know my life would be back to the way it was before.......................So nothing to think and nothing to worry, just for this "few days"
And today, i made a milestone. I've tasted the last of the fried rice variety available at my cafe downstairs and i came to a conclusion that all the fried rice (cooked by Malay chefs) are very hot. Next week i am going to try out their wester cuisine. See if there is any better than the one i use to eat near my old campus.
Another thing i found out today is somehow disturbing................ I realized that someone had been taking my underwears, unknown whether is it accidental or something else. I start out this semester with around 13 underwears, but today, as i was collecting them, i somehow realized.......................4-5 of them are missing =_= I only could wonder where the hell could it have been............Even more intriguing are some cases of my stuffs suddenly vanishing. I care not much about them since they are not important to me..............but somehow i could not find out how a can of coke on my table went missing when i was out....................................investigate or not.......i wonder.
But until those stuffs are found, i would be treasuring every moment of my free time right now. Till i could fill in the next post, have fun *to myself =P

Finally, able to find the time to sit down and update the blog. There are tonnes of updates and stuffs. Well, lets get it on. First of all, the positive.
Well again? There ain't much positives now or since the last time i'd updated my blog. There is also nothing much to be happy about. Lets see.............................in fact, its almost close to zero =P The only happy moment i could relate about is my birthday. It was a surprise celebration actually, bringing me out on a steamboat dinner and then celebrating it there (though, something did not match out right). It was nice of you all guys and gals. Thank you very much =D (ps. After my one, it seems that there is a trend to surprise other guys with this kind of celebration =D). And presents? No presents, only full of hot tomyam soup in that steamboat.
But now came the un-happy stuffs which is happening to me almost day in and day out. First of all, now i understood why almost all my seniors told me to enjoy my uni first year and why the 2nd year is hellish. Hellish would be a sarcastic label to what i am "enjoying" which includes non-stop assignments and reports that they have tight regulations and procedures on how to write it as well. No longer do we have those e-tests that we used to have in the first year. Now, i only see stars during the tests =D Over the coming few weeks, the job would be tougher and tougher which ends with a test that comprise of 30% of the overall marks of one of my subjects =_=" When can i go play" =P
Other than my uni life, my personal life is also quite messed up. My food intake time is messed up, my sleeping time is messed up, my hygiene.....................don't know whether is it suitable to be called messed up. Anyway, you get the picture. The worst part is my roommate, who started to get more intimate with his girlfriend. Though he did asked about whether could he bring his girlfriend and i said yes, but how am i suppose to know that he is bringing her in on a daily basis nowadays. It's not that i really mind, but as they are around and doing who-knows-what, my movement are restricted and moreover, i need privacy. Having a girl around ain't gonna help much. Though i know i said yes to his request, but can you say no? Well, as much as i don't like it, i am going to try to wrest back the control. Can't be Mr Goody Good all the time or it would kill you.
And though it's a Saturday, my time is again restricted at all fronts. The pictures that i'd promised to upload is delayed for the moment due to some technical problems and my hp camera malfunction (have to fix it soon too.........................don't know when only =D).
And before i leave, KL's weather is getting messed up too =D

Been a while since i've even touched this blog. Been 3 weeks since my uni started. From my last 2 semesters, i had been fooling around during this period, but for this semesters, even carefree people like me could not ignore the impending storm that was already brewing from the very beginning. In short, very busy =P
For once, my uni life had been complicated by few things.
1. New campus, nice, but yet, far.
2. Expenses increased since i could only eat at the uni's cafeteria as those old places was too far, unless i go with my friends.
3. My housemates, who brought his PS2 along and almost every night, playing games at high volumes, kind of tempt me away from study =P
4. 1 of my subjects are relatively new, therefore unable to obtain any reference in doing my reports or assignments. Usually i need only 1 day to finish a complete report, now its already been 3 days and i only figured out how to do half of it T_T
5. My roommate got himself a new girlfriend, which is a bit annoying since he often brings her to the room and sometimes he even requests me to stay away for a while for who knows what.
A few more stuffs, but i rather not talk about it.
The positives? Definitely none at all for this moment. Other than getting lost in the new campus or the screwed up timetables i have, everything is turning from bad to worst. Since my friends of the same bunch are having different timetables and subjects, its even harder to have gathering like we used to have in the past, like CC or futsal.
The classes are super boring too. Not that i hate the subjects, but the way those lecturers lecture can be imagined as cold as outer space could offer. The labs sessions are fine and quite interesting, but the Anatomy lab.............................giving bones out to us? We end up playing with those poor bones anyway =P However, if the experiments are not annoying, it would be those lab demos that would be hounding you. Their motto during the lab is "Keep Quiet or else your conduct marks would be deducted" =_=", but how do they expect us to keep quiet if we are to wait for 1-2 hours just for one reaction to occur?
The only good thing that ever happened to me is receiving a new table in my hostel =D My old table could only hold my laptop and the area for the mouse, almost thats all. So you have to imagine how i had to take off my laptop before i could proceed to place any books on the table.
However, this post sounds more depressing that usual...................................................my mistake =P Lets end this one here. Would update a more merrier one next time soon, provided i have anytime to even touch this websites T_T

Its been a few days since i've reached KL. Weather is not that good as it is also raining almost everyday and sometimes, cats-n-dogs. Nothing much changed and nothing i would assume. Lets begin from where i left off.
On last Friday (13/7), directly on Friday the Thirteen, unlucky or unruly or un-whatever day it was, i received my last sems results. There, while logging into the webpage to view my results, the adrenaline rush, the tension, the sweat and all the usual stuffs you experience during those periods overcame me. Inch by inch the page loaded (hail to the lagging streamyx line that night), i breath in relief, as i had passed all my subjects and more importantly, scored much better than i thought i would be. Nothing is more satisfying to look at the results that does not really reflect what you had done (really, i got to admit that i did not study that much due to certain constrain last sem). Anyway, the celebration begins in earnest =D
On Sat's morning, i begin to thread my steps to the airport, knowing that i had unfinished my FF12 (............i am going to regret this). To my horror, the long queue, the who-knows-how arrangement of counters that only make the whole place congested, and moreover, show the ugliness of certain people that in-order to make haste, they selfishly crash into the line from the sides without even thinking about the people lining way in the back, somemore they have the guts to even grumble at you. Well, i just have to fight fire with fire and do anything i could to prevent such selfish people from gate-crashing from the sides and well, succeeded in frustrating them /gg. No delay this time and finally, able to get on the plane smoothly without any incidence.
On the way back, the weather is terrible with omnious dark clouds outside when we are arriving at the peninsula. The plane goes up and down, much like a roller coaster and thrilled anyone of us inside. As this is AirAsia, the strange sounds emitted from the plane, especially a loud one from one of the engines really gave some of us a fright. Nonetheless, we reached KL safely in one piece.
Then, came the opening of the uni, a new campus, a new life.....................and what better combination to be lost and late for the first class on the first day of uni. The new campus actually looked more like a uni campus compared to the old one and no more do i have to go deep underground for my labs sessions anymore. One ingenious way from the engineers of should i say, the planners is to places all the main lecture theaters underground, which means, no more reception for handphones =_=" The library is large, but still empty, the cafeteria looked more like a uni one, but with less seats and moreoever, i wonder why they placed air-cons when it was open air. Then came the com lab. As promised, they should be more computers for students. Yes, they are, but there are none in the science faculty unlike in other faculty and we had to walk all the way to the library to use the PC. I would upload some of the pics i've taken in the new campus later on.
And for the lateness of updating the blog, its due to the hectic life here. From the first day of class, there are already assignments and works passed out to us. Nothing more better than a hectic first week in uni. So until the next blog, hoped that i would not stressed out so early into the new sem.
One more thing, do visit a photo site of mine where there are pics taken uploaded from time to time into

Been a while since i've been here. Dusty and somehow, empty. Currently having my end semester's holiday, but its short since this is only winter holiday. Came back to Sabah for 2 weeks, and though back, well, attacked by the lazy bug and since then, been quite lazy and slacking around only =P
Well, let me bring you all back to time right after my last posts. The weather is cold and snowy, it was dark and gloomy and i held on tightly to my "textbook" rifle, dodging bullets and shelling from all my enemy "subjects". However, i'd been hit and thrown afar, yet i tried my very best to pull myself back and continue to charge towards the enemy's fortress. Finally, i've managed to pull through and manage my escape from the battlefield, but in the process, left myself deeply wounded and scarred. Well, this should sum up how my exam period were. Tried my best and hope it would be a good ending. However, for a hint, my results are releasing on 13/7.......... sound familiar? Yeah right cause its Friday the 13th =(
And people always said that when you stress yourself out during the exams, you would experience weight loss. Who says? I somehow managed to add my weight during the exams, thanks to overtime study time, which lead me to a hunger frenzy in the dead of night and a friend taught me the wonders of fast food delivery service =P Ended up eating burgers almost every night.
And right after the exams, everyone suddenly just pop up, suggesting this and that (activities). As usual, there are plenty of cyber cafes and eating outside (yeah, more weight gain). Futsal got cancelled all the time cause lack of people and finally, a party? Well, there was a party as a farewell party to a few of my coursemates who are heading to the Australian campus next semesters. Somehow, it was the boys who are doing all the cooking, and while we are doing grocery shopping, the girls ended up on a shopping spree =_=" Our theme for the dinner is JAPANESE =D And i am not sure whether you can say did the boys did a good job or not. Joshua ended up making a double strip (i meant the entire strip) of wasabi on the sushi and some people ended up choking on his maki-maki. The night went on, either chatting, watching tv or playing cards. And sorry to mention here, Nick was having a bad day (a bit sick) and ended up vomitting in Han Yet's house /gg Dead tired after that.
For the next few days before i flew back to Sabah, it was pretty much boring, walking back and forth to the uni to sort out some stuffs with the course manager and slacking off, hoping to get the deserved rest. Finally, i did went out on to have a movie. Supposedly Sim and Guan Tai was suppose to watch movies with us at the Curve, but somehow, GuanTai got a last minute meeting and could not attend. Ended up me and Foo watching Ocean 13 (This is one hell of a nice movie), then take a walk to IKEA where Foo bought some "furnitures" for the new place ( And speaking of this, i still haven't taken any photos on of my new room. Would do when i am not lazy =P ), and at night, watch another movie (Fantastic 4, not that nice). A night out for a walk ended us up in a pub, ordering beer /gg Went back and boy it was a bad experience (did not get drunk, but have an un-nice effect)
When i did get back to Sabah, well, i was still tired and just slack around. Pretty tough since i got phone calls all the time from people and friends who tried to get me out. And to make matters worst, my relatives from overseas came back to Sabah and i had to visit them and bring them go around.................well, from here, you can tell that i don't really have any nice rest =D Anyway, at least those periods did carry my fat bum off the chair often.
And then to compare, there is not much changes around Kota Kinabalu as yet, except that the road leading to STTSS got some changes. Other than that, everything is still as usual as it is, except that my i finally got a real driving license =D I only realized that my P driving license was expired and i could not drive the car at all (Though i want to, but my mum really insist me not to) Finally got my new license the last few days and now i still have no purpose to drive the car as yet =_=
However, one thing is for sure, i am back to my home, where i felt most comfortable =D And also, my parents had my old bed and chair changed =) Thanks to them too. And finally, i hope all my friends who are having their holidays now to enjoy and have fun. As for those whom i still could not meet them due to the gap in the holiday system, i still hope you all could enjoy yourself and rest to the fullest. As for me, my holidays are almost over now and i am going back to be a baked fish next semesters =D

Currently, i am facing what all other students, from primary level to university level, dreaded of. A challenge, a barrier that we had faced over and over again, a sight so grim that you have to eat mee cup almost everyday. And yes, what i am blabbing about now is none other than exams =P
It would be a week away from my first paper and now, i am still unsure whether i am prepared enough for it. You got the feeling that you've never studied something before eventhough you did and the pressure would be pilling up day by day as the time bomb ticks away. Somehow, for me, this feeling is not that obvious anymore =_=" I felt somewhat, relax for this time, though the subjects are much harder compared to my last semester's.
My daily routine turned out to be the same everyday. Wake up, wash myself, go online to check mails and news, then head straight either to the library or to study area to study and study and study until night time, came back and start to.....................................omg, relax and watch anime T_T. Well, not sure why, but this is the trend within me =O
However, it was still a relief that i could study. Just last week, my mum and sis came to KL, main aim not to visit me actually but to take a look at my new room as well as asking for informations for my sister's education. Well, as usual, your parents came, you have to go out "teman" them, you have to bring them to places, you cannot say no to their invitation, but for me, nothing to fear about cause i took every possible free time to find a place and spend some "quality time" with my notes and books.
As for my new place, well, its bigger than my current room, way higher up ( its in the 18th floor, i am curently staying at 3rd floor), and whats more, i still don't know how my new housemate would be. When i first entered, the living room was messed up with books and notes. I don't mind much cause the exam period is on, but would i mind its not? Time will tell =D
Then jut 2-3 days ago, a concert or activity or something was going on at my uni's field. There was the usual stage and some stuffs for some activities ( i am not too sure too cause i only look afar and never went anywhere near there). It was actually an event organized by......................i also don't know =D But one thing is for sure, whenever there is a stage, there's bound to be noises. I am just wondering did the organizers know that both the uni and collage are having exams that actually starts the NEXT day? I would not know. The only thing i know is that, it's noisy and disturbing. Even the furthest end of the library the voices echo around =_=", whats more in my hostel which is even closer. Then came the only attraction that many people waited for, Daniel Lee in the flash. All my gal friends rushed out to ................ i also don't know what they did when he was preparing for his show. Bets me why, but for me at that moment, study is no.1 priority =P
And since that i'd said that study is no.1 priority, i could still blog here =P Well, my books are calling out my name now, back to tend to their "needs" =D
