I am normal

As I browse through Mike's blog in xanga http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=micwill, I realised that I am normal. That I can question God in times of doubt, and well, living a Christian life and believing in a God is so difficult sometimes. I am glad, I went through I did, knowing and questioning a God whom despite all unbelief still believes and take interest in me.

Well, FES has indeed imparted something in my life. I am touched by the way they reaches out to the students in a personal way. They see us students as friends, and not some follower uper style which made the students feel inferior. And well, I personally befriended Michael William, Annette and Yoke Yee. I am sure they are genuinely concern about me when I talk to them. So, i will never hesitate to give them a call or when I am in need of a hearing ear, they will be first on my list.

Just want to thank each one of them who has invested their lives in us, students.
Love u guys much

Coming to an end

Time seems to fly as 2005 is approaching. As I sit here in the cc, while waiting for Cheryl and Jess, thinking to myself, boy it has been ages since I last blog. My blog page looks so blank compared to Aaron's and Andrew's. Must get the guys to teach me on how to beautify my page.

For the past 2 months has been rather a tough month for me to go trough. The thot of graduating in 2 more months scares the hell out of me. It felt like yesterday when I first step foot in USM. Now, Its time for me to go and leave my students life. Argh, how I wished, I;ve not skipped that many classes. Joined more activities, get to knoe more friends and well just enjoy uni life.

Some people has asked me, what have I impacted in the lives of others in my 3 years stay in PG. I couldnt really answer. I guess, i left them with the beauty of sign language. Besides that, I'm also a frank and straight forward person. I left them with this bubbly character and the contagious laughter of mine.

As I am writing this, my heart is heavy and filled with sadness as I know, all this will haev to go.there is a season and time for eevrything. The friends I've met, the things ive done. I will never trade anytth for this experience.

Hmm.....I am definately gonna miss my time here.

Lord, I know that you will direct each step that I take. I pray that you will lead me and guide me....In you i out my trust and my future.

mission trip

Greetings from Melaka,
The 11 of us are settled in Melaka and everything has been going on smoothly. Waiting for Samuel to come tmrw nite. First testimony to share, 7 of us do not have passport and we needed to make group passport. When we went to the immigration office on Friday morning, after finishing camp in camerons, we were shocked to find out that we neeed 5 working days to get the group passport done. Phew, imagine our dissapointment. If we make individual it will only take 2 days, tat is we can collect it the next day. Imagine 7 x Rm 300=RM 2100.. It doesnt make sense.. and it cost RM 200 only for group passport. We decided to take the risk and went ahead with making the passport.
Then, after much persuasion to the officers, they stil tak layan us. Shen Yee and Chooi FOong went to speak to the assistant pengarah and he asked us to write an appeal letter. Rushed aback to my church and type a letter. SHen Yee and I wnet back ti immigration office and went to see PEngarah straight. He scolded us la..And he told us he can only give us one day earlier...tats its on Tuesday..Phew..Wat difference does it make.We plan to leave on Monday. Then the assistant Pengarah came and said, its ok, they came earlier..Give them on Monday..So he said we were lucky to meet the assistant. Both Shen Yee adn I were excited and relieved. Yet God surprised us even more. THe assistant asked us to wait for 5 mins and he gave us the group passport on the spot. We were amazed how God works.. Heheh, we not only dun have to go back to immigration office but we got it straight..
This is the first testimony. It's not going to be the last and tat I am sure..:)
Please keep us all in prayers. Even as the group members trying to live and get to know each other is not easy. Pray for protection and may GOd use us to touch ppl, set captives free, and most of all know the Love of Christ.
Our motto or theme for this mision trip is EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.
Nov 1- Nov 5 we will be in Dumai...
At His service,
Elina Goh

Sleeping too much

My face has been bloated and all my engine in my body seems to be in a hibernating mode. A once active going girl, suddenly became so passive and its so weird la.:)
Anyway, been over sleeping and my sleeping time is so chaotic I shall say..:) Haha, becoming the creature of the nite and sleep in the day time.. No matter how much u sleep in the day time, u dun seem to be able to catch up on your sleep..I wonder why?

Now looking and scanning tru my notes for my exam paper tmrw and I am so not preapred. Guess, as time goes by, exam adn grades doent seem important to u anymore..

Well, I slept at 6 am in the morn last nite, chatting with Teavn and well, we always have deep conversation and it was good. Had vegetarian CharHo fun and we were just talking about our fears, our struggles and basically, all the crap we went through.. Good conversation.

Another thing my friend Aaron said to me was very sweet and I can remember till today..:) Thanks Aaron for loving me the way I am..
Alrite, got a mission trip meeting and briefing soon. Just killing some time here. I miss home and my doggies..Alot..

Boring Week

My study week has just gone like that with me sleeping my life away. Literaly, I slept my life away. Sleep about 2 am and wake up like 4 pm. And sleep again at 6pm and wake up at 8 pm. Its been like tat since one week ago.. Yes, I am getting rounder and so not productive. M Not studying like I need to.

Guess my rajinness of this sem just crumbled at the end of the sem la. Darn..:)
Well, hope to be cathing up with my studies soon, if not will have to extend my course whcih means i will not graduate like the rest of my friends..

Super bored still. Sleep til i have headache

No strength tp go on

Sometimes I feel that I've got no strength to carry on anymore. Not even say a word of prayer for my sister, my family and those around me. I feel like hopeless case whcih God has wasted so much time and effort on. And look at me, rotting away with the little hope that I've left.

Got an sms from Ed asking me to pray for my sister as she was angry with my parents. I dunno what is going on back home and I rather not know sometimes. The cross and burden that I'm called to carry is too much to bear and many a time I just feel like giving up. And yet, the thing inside me said. No!!! Not Yet, Another Mile Maybe.

These few days with the peace and quiet I had, cos most of my housemates went back to their hometown n left me alone with Jess who is always in her room. Is it worth the pain and hurt I go through everytime I receive a bad news? Everyttime when I think I am heading the rite way, and there it goes..Wham..!! another bad news coming ur way...

People are expecting me to do someht about it..My sister, family and all..All the expectation ppl set on me..I dun think I can handle it anymore..I am going bonkers..If u happen to read this, pls say a prayer for me, cos i can mutter a word of prayer...

Sunday

Its Sunday and well, wish I could just sleep for hours....But Chin Hsia had to wake me up cos she is so clumsy when she wakes up in the morning..:) Hahahah...she tripped on me... ARGGHHHH

Well, many things had happened tru out the week..Like I lost my stupid short story and i cant find it...The best part of it is that i have to pass up on Thursday...CRap...

Ok la.Tevan is giving me the look now..better get of his pc...or else he will skin me alive...hahahah

Elina Is the Cutest Still!!!!!!

Tevan

I have not been this happy in a long time.
I want to write about my friend Tevan whom I've got to know
through Cheryl and well, he has been a blessing to me personally.
Tevan and I share a deep friendship and we have been open and
honest to each other since day one.

Well, what he has taught me in the friendship is that physical appearance
is not the only thing a guy looks for. Yes, i noe this in theory but have not
seen it in practical. He has shown me that physicall beauty is not everything.
It has been a great adventure for us cos we are learning so much from each other.
The things we do, and of course the things we talked about, it has always benefited
me.

Hmm, just wanted to do a write up on Tevan and the friendship that I share with him
I also want to remember the mountain metophorical theory he said about me.
My times in Penang will never be the same without Tevan..
:)

I want to grow old with you

I Want To Grow Old With You

I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you're sad, Carry you around
When you're arthritis is bad
All I wanna do, Is grow old with you
I'll get you're medicine,
When you're tummy aches,
Build you a fire I
f the furnace breaks
Oh, it could be so nice,
Growin' old with you
I'll miss you, Kiss you,
Give you my coat
When you are cold
I'll need you, Feed you,
Even let you hold
The remote control
So let me do the dishes
In our kitchen sink,
Put you to bed
When you've had
too much to drink

Ohhhh, I could be the man,
Who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Angelica

I have not written about Angelica Eshwarie Smith, my God daughter. Yes, she is 8 months old and I am missing her.

Being a cutie, she looks like the Michellin logo..Remember the white Tyre Guy with a lot of layers? that's Angel with all her baby fats all over..Hahah..So cute..

Hmm, I am not sure how to bring uo my god-daughter and I hope to be the best example to her. Well, with God's grace, I do hope i will have a fantastic relationship with her. As a friend, a god-mum and of course a person she can trust and depend on at all times..

I miss you Angel..:)

A rather Quiet day

Today has been a rather quiet there. It all started at 1 pm where I had my creative writting test. So the whole class was quiet and no one said a word or else we will get the stare from Robert Raymer my lecturer.

Then the next class was cinematography...Two groups did presentation on Jean-Luc Godard's A woman is a woman movie. Yeah, everyone was quiet cos the presentation was really boring. That's the end of the whole day's class.

Went for tennis with Jess-Mim and it started to rain. We couldnt continue and left for home. After mandi, we went for dinner. Then, the whole house is quiet now cos Tevan and Geeta are not here in my apartment. Cheryl is out for meeting again and Chin Hsia is forever taking her beauty sleep. Jess mim in her secluded room and left me all alone in the hall...listening to WOW worship and just enjoying the peace and quiet around here..

Now, I am beginning to realize the importance of good frens in your life. I used to think that ppl just take u for granted at times....but I praise God for giving me so many good friends in my life to love me, rebuke me, teach me, encourage me, and for me to run too.....Thank you for Friends Lord..:)

Saturday

I slept at 5 am last nite, just chatting with room mate. Well, when I woke up at 1 pm this afternoon, no one was home except Cherly who is sleeping. She just left the house for practise.

Here I am home alone with the cd playing on the pc. Actually, I do enjoy the peace and quiet sometimes..Despite being a Saturday, I am fine staying at home and maybe i am getting older..hehe....not much of going out these days..Just sit at home and watch some DVDs.:)

Hmm, I am working on a short story which I need to hand in on Mon. Hehe, just started and it's not even one page...Too lazy to continue and here I am blogging away.

I am not sure how many actually reads my blog and its also not my intention for ppl to read it..I just write and I guess I am better in expressing myself in writing..:)

Yeah, in one of my moods again...the thing of being alone sometimes...makes u like this...

:) Saturday nite....watching PAssion of Christ in the cinema later...dunno how my fren got the ticket but i am going anyway...

Ending of Semester

Time just flies and you didnt even feel it passing by. Phew, my last 2 weeks of lectures and that is it for this semester. Had been doing many things over the course of one month and tats how long i didnt blog.

Well, things like work, shooting, assignments, activities, work and all just take away all your time and energy. Hmm, things are begginning to settle down not because I am old and its time for me to get married. :) I guess tat this weekend will be assignment handing in time and many people are just rushing to finish it on time, including me. too lazy to do so here I am sitting in front of the pc doing the things tat i find relaxing to the mind.

Been doing some thinking about myself, my friendship and of course my life in general. Sometimes i think i am too compromising....and yet at time i dun feel tat way...Friendship in general are fine, meeting up with new ppl, maintaining the old and yet, its just like a cycle,.....every beginning of friendship is exciting and fun...and when we get to noe each other on and out...there is not much excitement left....and now...where is that suppose to go? I wonder....

Hmm, been too busy looking at other things and not the things tat i shud....Like my r/ship with God and all....

Blood is thicker than water

I had a good time in Malacca. There is no greater joy than spending time with ur family. Even though, no deep conversation was held, but rather the presence of just watching Tv together gave us the sense of belonging.

As I grew older, I've got many more friends and I used to think that Friends are more important than family. But now, as I mature and went tru many experiences, I can say that after GOd, My family will be the most important. I am not saying throw away your friends or friends are not important. There are also many categories of friends and certain friends are like family to you.

Well, I'm going back to Penang tmrw and I will sure miss my family and of course my cute doggies..:) My sis, Serina spent the whole week at home and it was good cathing up with her again..And I know taht the bond that we share is always there..:)
I just need to show a bit more effort and affection...

Will miss Malacca for sure..:)

p/s: There is nothing like Melaka food..:)

Malacca

I'm so glad that I am sitting in a cyber cafe in Melaka now. Cos my connection in Pg is slo slow that it just turn you off to go online. Many things have happened during my few weeks of missing on actions in Blogger...

For starters, I passed my MOTOR test with flying colour. Haha, nope didnt 'Rasuah' JPJ, but pass with my own skills...hahaha...just kidding.. The 10 person before me all screw up at the so called 'Killer Brigde' where many students will just fall off. Poor thing yeah...

Hmm, Convocation in USM last weekend was fun but definately exhausting. Going from one senior to the other senior's graduation was very tiring. So, now I am gald that I can be in Malacca....My hometown...And watch tv, and put my clothes into the washing machine, and not forgetting this is my territory, no one can mess with me man..:)

Hmm, AARON if you are reading this, pls get ur butt to my place....hahah....cos u supposed to go out with me....:)

Met Up with Yoke Yee

Yoke Yee is one of SUFES worker who happens to be my grandma for Camp. Anyway, she and I had a good chat. She told me things that i've not seen in that light before. She told me that I should actually sit back and relax and begin to discover myself. There are much to be seen and not what ppl ask me to be but who I am really deep inside. It was a  good talk. Well, we digest what she has just told me. Still dont feel well as I am still sick..ARgh...hate being sick...

Sick Cat

Sigh, I am not saying I rescued a sick cat from the drain or something to that extend. Actually, its me who is the sick cat. Been having flu and cough and the medicine just make u drowsy. Skip my lectures today cos during my first lecture, i was the only person who is coughing my lungs out and i think it distracted my classmates. Decided not to go for class.. ARGHHHH, hate to be sick. Last week was diarhoe and vomitting and I dunno wat's next. So many asgm due soon and i havent even started....Sigh....ok then, the medicine is getting its toll on me....cioaz

Making Decisions

I didnt know that making decision is so difficult. Yesterday, I made a decision to quit something which i've been doing for some time. Before quitting, I feel the need to take a break from everything. After quiting, I miss the sense of belonging. The things i'm going to miss and etc. I am not sure the decision I've made is the right one, but i do hope i will get blessings from the rest. Its sure is one tough decision and I will have to live with it now.

Stoping the momentum

I've been not well for the past few days. And I'm sick of eating porridge. I've been skipping classes since Monday, but I did go for class today. The diarrhoe has put a stop to my momentum of attending lectures. I find it so difficult to wake up and walk to classes. I dont have as much energy. Guess my body is still weak. Anyway, I'm recovering and looking forward to my motor training tomorrow afternoon. Read in the STARS today on blogging and its funny how people are so addicted and obsessed with it till skipping classes jst to blog. That's rather extreme already. Anyway, it's fun to blog as you can say anything you want and feel like. Its like an avenue for you to pour out all that'a happened to you in a day. Oh yeah, watched King Arthur last nite, 12:30 am. Not too bad la....

Sick

What a day, woke up in the wee hours of the morning and went to toilet for a zillion times. Was vomitting and diarrhoe. So sad man. Imagine u cant sleep the whole nite and all that you consumed the nite before was all down in the toilet bowl. Sigh. Slept the whole day and thankfully, the vomiting stop but the diarrhoe not yet. Having CG later and I also dunno what's the outcome. AM a little nervous as I am the Leader. My first time leading a CG. GOd help me.

Fun Day.

My day started as early as 9 am as I went for my first practical motor riding. It was scary at first, and when I got the hang of it, it was fun. Saw one girl fell in front of me. So poor thing. Guess it must have been her first time too. My greatest hurdle was the bridge. Cant seem to balance myself on it. So I'm looking forward to my next training. Motor riding is so dangerous la.

Then, went on a shopping spree with my beloved room mate. The rest of the housemates went KL to find their bf. So we are stuck here. Good time for us cos the house is peaceful. Didnt buy much but only a cap and a pair of sandals. Came back to rest and later went for a BBQ. There was not pit cos the person in charged of it was sick and he couldnt make it. The host roasted the chicken instead. We ate and ate and it was good food. Everyone brought something except me. Hehehe, decided last minute that I will go instead of sulking at home. I sacrificed Bon Odori (Annual Jap CArnival in PG) for the BBQ. We played charades and had a good time laughing. Had a fruitful or shall I say stomach-filled day.

It is good to be home alone sometimes.
U have the space to breathe and do what U like to do most. Sleep....:)

Motor Taklimat

I attended my first motor taklimat today for 3 hrs. It was super boring and I think the so called lecturer just talked for 1 and a half hour only. The rest of the hour were breaks and he started late. Didnt pay much attention and was dreaming away. Hoping to be able to ride on Saturday. Will have to go through at least 8 hrs of training. So tedious.

Anyway, went for CATs meeting. (Creative Arts Troopers) It was good and I am incharged of a sign language dance and a mime. Not too bad. Trying to finish my assignments which is due tomorrow and I still have one more newspaper article to write about.

Rather a busy day. Promised myself I will get this weekend off. So I've said NO to many appointments and just relax at home.

Hectic Week

This week I broke my own record. I didnt attend my 8am class this morning. First, I didnt sleep well and I was very lazy. Nevertheless, I still went for the other classes.. Talk about being rajin.

Anyway, had so much to do this week and didnt have the time for myself at all. Tennis practise is from Mon-Thurs. Tomorrow I will go and take my lisence for Motor. Will need to sit through 3 hrs of taklimat. Then I will get the L. Can ride already. Happy.

My tennis today is better compared to yesterday. Getting the hang of playing with the varsity players. And well, indulged myself with a good nasi kandar dinner plus Cornetto for dessert. Satisfies.

Tennis

I went for my first tennis practice today. Well, it was ok at first but when I saw the terror-ness of my other friends, I just lost concentration and I looked like a fool hitting balls so high up like baseball. So men-siasuikan. Anyway, it was good practice as I was playing with varsity players. Tomorrow the coach will come and I hope I don’t make a fool of myself again.

Hmm, as a final year student, I am beginning to be active in many things. I should have joined all the activities during my first year. A little regret now, but its never too late I guess. Lectures are fine and surprisingly I am attending every class. My housemates still think alien has abducted me or something must be wrong with me. I have a history of not showing up in lectures and I was seen sleeping or lepaking somewhere. I pretty like my new “change’ and I think I will stick to it. But of course sometimes, the class is too early for me to wake up. So far, I still haven’t break the record yet of not going for class.

I have some parallel circuit and a combination circuit question to solve. Don’t you just hate Physics?!!!! Anyway, that’s all from me. The Rajin-ness is in me again.

Updating

It’s been some time since I last wrote in here. Well, things have been hectic and I couldn’t find the time to write. Where shall I begin, I think I should start off with Monday. Arrived in Penang at 6 am in the morning. Catch some sleep and went to my morning class. After that, well I just cant remember. My day passes so fast. Ok, I will only write important details.

Tuesday nite, went for Ansos Club’s AGM. Interviewed a number of people who are interested to be the new committee. Rather fun. Then, went supper with exco members. Wednesday was a bliss, went for my sardine packed schedule. Followed Ps. Sam and Hui Ping to TAR College for their Cf. Then, went to visit with Juniors with Cg members. We gave them goody bags. Was rather fun.

As for today, it’s quite relaxing and I bought a Jaring prepaid account. Then, went for Tennis audition for Varsity Team. And I got in. Super excited but scared as well, cos I’m rather new in competitions. I just play for fun only.
Nevertheless, will be a good experience for me. My bags are packed again as I will be going to Sungai Petani, Kedah for my Church Family camp. Alrite, Adios..

My life

We are supposed to write about our lives in Creative Writing. I am totally lost on what to rite. The title looks so easy but when you finally want to put down in words, it’s so difficult. My lecturer, Robert Raymer, wants us to write a catalyst or some kind of event that changed us. Be it conversion, relationship, accident, illness and etc. And through that incident, how does it change you. Aiyo…So susah la…!!! Read some examples….

My near to death experience has made me a tougher person. That kinda thing and have to give specific example of what is the near to death experience. He wants original true life story. Cracking my memory box to find which event that I can write about. So hard.

Tomorrow’s class is at 8 am. So sickening. How to wake up la. The first few weeks was ok la cos rajin..But now, when assignments and many more activities are at hand, it seems impossible to wake up so early. Anyway, complaint also no use cos I still have to wake up and look brain dead in the morning. Better catch my beauty sleep. Nite nite

Mission Trip

Last Friday, I went on a mission trip to Gerik. I didn’t know exactly where I was going but just went ahead with 3 more friends. My journey there was a pleasant one and we stopped at many places to eat. One of my friends commented its Makan-nary instead of Missionary. We ate durian but it was not as good because the season is ending. I saw many different road signs including “Awas Gajah Liar Melintas.” There was an elephant picture on the yellow sign board. It was my first time seeing such a peculiar sign in Malaysia.

The journey was about three hours and we passed 2 bridges and it overlooked the Temengor Lake. It was truly a beautiful sight. We had to travel for about 40mins by boat to Kampung Chuweh, an orang asli settlement. Boat ride was fun and it was as scary as I thought it will be. We were greeted by Ps.Panggilan and his wife. The orang asli there were different compared to the orang asli I saw in Cameron Highlands. The children were running naked and they are so cute.

A girl named Bom caught my attention. She is about 4 years old and she was carrying a baby behind her back. Such a small girl yet her eyes showed much courage and she was rather shy. After resting, we taught them some songs and simple mathematics. They were quite shy at first.

We have to wash vege in the lake and cooking in the small bamboo house was quite an experience. At about 8.30 pm, my girl friend and I went for a bath. As usual there were no electricity and water supply. We bathed in the lake. We both jumped in and had a whale of time. Many thoughts rushed to my mind as I was reminded of all the shows that I’ve watched like Piranhas and Jaws. Scary.

We called it a day after a long day of traveling. Before I forget, we also managed to see the full moon shinning across the sky. The moon’s reflection on the water was something you can only see it in the movies, but there it was, what a mesmerizing sight. A sight that I will never forget.

My bag is packed

Had a tiring yet fulfilling day today. It feels so great to be able to serve the Lord and mingle around God’s people. Well, performed the sign language dance which we practiced for the past 2 days. It went well and no matter how many times I dance I can still enjoy it.

Well, went supper with a bunch of friends and it was fun. Been ages since I last sat at a mamak and laughed as loud as I wanted to despite the stares from the other tables. Can you imagine people think that I am in my first year or second year. When I was in my first year, people assumed that I am in my final year. Guess I’ve been more toned down lately, looking goody goody. Hahhaa, it tickles me just to think about it.

I cannot remember what I’ve done this morning as my eyes is playing tricks on me as I am beginning to see double images of what I’m typing now. Guess I went to class and watched a movie in the library with Jess Mim. American Beauty. Good show.

Alrite, my bag is packed with all the necessary for mission trip tomorrow. I am looking forward to go. I am not sure where I am heading but I heard something about the Temenggor Damp. Will write about it when I return. Ciaoz

I surprised Myself

I skipped my 8 a.m class today because I’m super lazy to wake up. I went to the library at 10 a.m. Well, for those of you who know me, I only visit the library once in a blue moon. Just wanted to kill some time before the 11 a.m lecture. I was browsing for some books but couldn’t find what I was looking for. Then, decided to tread the new territory of the 3rd floor of Library 1. Guess what I found, many computer science books and Photoshop caught my attention. There were many selections of books and USM is famous with its library. Just realized it today. I ended up borrowing 3 big heavy books and I surprised myself because I hardly use my card.

The walkways around library area were packed with societies and clubs’ booth to recruit and attract people. Scuba diving caught my attention but when I saw the fees I decided to drop the brochure and walked to my class for Cinematography lecture. Sat with some juniors and befriended them. We were supposed to watch Forrest Gump today but Dr. Mahyuddin still was no where in sight. A classmate sms-ed him and he called back saying he thought the class is later in the afternoon. He asked us to wait as he was rushing to get here. The class welcomed the panting lecturer with a loud applause when he walked into the classroom. He was embarrassed and apologized for coming late.

The lights were dimmed and the movie starts. Someone shouted, “Eh, no popcorn ar?” The class again burst into laughters while Dr.Mayhuddin warned us not to fall asleep during the screening. There, Tom Hanks looking so innocently cute as always. In my class, we are supposed to analyze the movies and if my lecturer finds out I’m giving this kind of comments he will fail me for sure. We are supposed to analyze the script, editing, and other abstractive stuff. We are not supposed to drool our saliva over the hero or heroine of a movie. We didn’t manage to finish the movie but we will continue next week. Potong steam only. So, we are to hand in an analytical review of Forrest Gump.

Rushed for Creative Writing and have to walk up hill for 10 mins before climbing three floors of stairs to reach my class. I forgot to bring my file and just sat there pretending to pay attention when my phone kept vibrating in my pocket. Class finished on time and there I go again rushing for my Lighting class. We learnt the different kinds of lights in theater and we get to dismantle a spot light. Quite cool.

After class, my friends waited for me to go for Trunch (Lunch + Tea). We went to Kayu to eat. The magi goreng was disastrous and we had to ask the waiter to change. No more appetite after that. Cheryl and I went for Sign Language practice after dropping the rest of our friends at their respective resident.

I surprised myself by opening the books I’ve borrowed this morning and actually reading it. I do hope my sudden “Rajin-ness” will be maintained till I finish this semester at least. I am super tired now but will read a few pages of Andre Bazin (A French Film Critic) before retiring. Yes, indeed it scares the hell out of me to see me so hardworking.

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed

Slept at 3a.m last nite. My class was at 12 but I got up earlier. Suddenly there was a heavy down pour and thankfully my housemate gave me a ride to class.

I just found out that my tv is not working and my housemates and I tried various way to get it working. Called a friend and he asked me to kick it like Euro Football. Guys?!!! Football Fever maybe. Anyway, sad to know that I cant watch Malaysian Idol this Friday.

Everything seems to go wrong today. Saw my younger sister smoking and all she can say was asked me to keep my mouth shut. So tempted to tell my parents but I know they will be devastated, so I did keep it to myself.

Taught some of friends a sign language dance today for two hours. We are supposed to perform for Combined Freshman on Thursday. It went well.

Being a president of Antropology and Sociology Club, I had to make announcement today in a 700 plus lecture regarding an AGM we are having next week. Since I am a people person, I usually do not get stage fright but today, my legs were shivering the whole time and the lecturer kept asking me questions. I am glad I didnt look like I was nervous. Phew, it was a tough call though.

Lectures start at 8 am tomorrow. Will call it a day.

A walk in the rain

It has been raining for the past few days. Since my two years plus stay in the Pearl of Orient Island, I’ve always enjoyed the raining season. Besides the inconvenience of going for lectures and the flash floods in some areas of the city, and not forgetting the foreverness of clothes drying, I personally prefer the cold and wet season rather than the scorching hot weather.

I’ve just returned from the day’s lecture and most of my classmates didn’t turn up cos of the heavy downpour. For the rest of us, we were drenched because the umbrella couldn’t cover the heavy drops of rain. Nevertheless, the lecturer still turn up and we have to relearn what has been taught in Form 5 Physics. “Series Circuit and Parallel Circuit”. How I hated the subject and the lecturer confused my not-so-mathematical brain with the many formulas. As I looked around me after solving some Voltage and Power questions, some faces that I saw were even more lost and confused than I am. So I am not that bad all. 

After class, I walked along the School of Arts and noticed a fallen tree. I assumed that the storm last nite must has uprooted the big old tree. USM has always been well known with its beautiful landscape and it breaks my heart to see the helpless looking tree when some workers were chopping and removing the old wrinkled tree trunk.

Well, many may find the raining season inconvenient in many ways, but I am grateful for the rain as it helps to clear the haze and, it’s a good time to stay in door. A hot cup of tea in your hand while lying on your comfortable bed with a good book in hand. It’s also a good excuse to skip your next lecture.

Getting the hang of this

Well, this blog thing is not so hard after all. It's like a journal or some sort but its different because anyone can read what you write. The gift to be heard is not given freely but its something to be earned or worked for. This is very true and I am not saying that I want to be heard just sharing my life with others I guess. :) Free free to comment and enjoy my blog.
