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.
