- Sweet Sweet Home -

AFTER 1 MONTH.....

I miss home so badly. I was supposed to come back on 7 Dec, but at last decided to go back on 6 Dec. I ponteng my Friday classes? It could be an answer of YES or NO...haha...Well, I have 3 hours of classes on Friday, but the 1-hour of English lecture was cancelled because lecturer had got training to attend for a few days. How about the other 2 hours of Economics lecture? Hehe...I managed to shift that 2 hours class to Monday. That's why I was able to go back home 1 day earlier and this 1 day absolutely made a big difference.

I bought a 12.30pm bus ticket back to KL, but I reached the bus station at 11.45am. I thought perhaps I could change it to an earlier bus trip. Unfortunately, there was no bus to KL at 12pm. No choice but to wait!! It's really a torture to wait for the time to reach when a person is dying of going home. Around 3 hours later, I reached Subang. I could see my mum smiling from the opposite road when she came to Carrefour bus stop to pick me. I'm sure they miss me pretty much as well...haha...PERASAN NYER SAYA...

Finally, I came back to my warmest home.

- A Famosa -

We had just finished 2 Mid Term papers yesterday. To relax after all the hardworking days, we chose to go A Famosa and have fun. It's located in Alor Gajah if I'm not mistaken. Well, I'm always a direction blind, even if I was sitting in the car I won't remember the road too...haha...It took us around 45 minutes to reach there. It's already the fastest way to arrive because we used to high way. We went there by 2 cars, consisting 8 people. Along the way, we were talking and joking. That was fun indeed.

Around 9.45am, we reached the A Famosa Water World. That place was already congested. It's probably because every parents tend to bring their children there during these school holidays. There were also many tours from other states and Singapore coming over as I could see many buses parking along the road. There were not many games as compared to Sunway Lagoon, but it was not that bad after all. There were games that Lagoon does not have, especially the slides.

I was so proud of myself. I managed to play the HIGH-SPEED BODY SLIDE. That was exciting man. As the name tells, it was very steep so that we can slide down very quickly. It looks like a 90 degree "L" shape. Some guys dared not to try it..haha..And it's very high too!!! Whenever U wanna play it, U have gotta climb 5 or 6 floors or staircases. I have been walking more stairs than playing for the whole day because every game will need us to climb up and slide down. Luckily, the weather yesterday was mild. I managed not to get sun burn...haha...In fact, it was cool. We were shivering when we got to the water.

Well, our trip ended quite early. Around 3 o'clock, we left that place and drove back to my friend's house. We sat there for a while then we went to hunt for our food. We did not have anything into our stomach since morning. We were pretty exhausted and extremely hungry. Our Melaka friend said, "Let's go makan sedap sedap and banyak banyak. I shall bring U guys to this place, that place....." Thanks to her, we came back home with full stomach...haha...

Last, I would like to wish my younger sis a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Did U enjoy your sweet 16? I'm sure U did because U celebrated it with your "members" at Ee Lhim's house and got so many presents from friends. By the way, I still owe U a pressie. What do U wan? Cash or a gift? haha...Well, U can always claim from me anytime U want...hehe...Enjoy your sweet 16 ya and May all your dreams come true.

- The last month in Melaka -

My mom said something when she sent me back to Melaka that time, "Time is passing really fast. U have already been staying here for almost 1 year and soon, U are gonna transfer back to Cyber." Yeah, time glided as quick as a blink of eyes, just as if it happened yesterday. December will be my last month staying here provided if nothing goes wrong...haha...Normally, I will be looking forward to New Year >> Year 2008, but this time I have the opposite thought. I don't wish that the day reaches earlier, but slower because when the day comes, that means I'm gonna leave this place 4ever, the lovely people and the delicious food...sob sob...

Well, this year December is rather special. It is the 1st of mine studying during this supposed-to-be a holiday month. Anyway, I have gotta get used to it because I will be studying during this wonderful month for the rest 4 years of my tertiary education. It is not a bad thing staying in Melaka indeed. I have got myself enjoying in Melaka with my close friends, roomate and housemates. I'm pretty sure that my days will be very interesting with them. No Boredom, but JOY!!!

How do the people celebrate special festival or occasion over here? I wonder that. Never mind, this year I'm gonna stay here and celebrate Christmas and New Year. I shall see what's the difference between celebrating and counting down in our capital >> KUALA LUMPUR and in this little town >> MELAKA. This would be my 1st time and the last time celebrating here. I'm sure that it will be a memorable day for me.

- November Babies (2) -

I slept pretty late yesterday. By the time I lay on my bed, it was already 2am. Wow, I didn't know that so many friends of mine are born in November. I have been eating many different types of cakes lately. Today was my housemate, Joean's birthday. We celebrated her sweet 18 over here. Finally, we managed to get rid of chocolate cake. Instead we bought Joean a Orange Sponge Cake. Hey girl, Happy Birthday!!! For her present, we purchased a necklace from Vincci. We are glad that U love it so much. I wish U all the best in everything U are pursuing ya!!!

We wanted to give her a surprise. We were trying to keep awake until 12am so that we can wish her at the very 1st moment of her birthday. The surprise almost "terbongkar". She even came to my room and asked me and my roommate, "Why are U 2 still awake?" Suddenly, we became speechless, but luckily we were able to cover it over...haha...This is because usually we will sleep quite early. U will probably see the lights of our room have already switched off when the time reaches 11pm.

Here came 12 am. We closed all the lights in our house and sang her a birthday song. She was so touched. She even cried when she saw us bringing the cake to her bed. We then started our pictures session. Everyone was busy taking photographs with the Birthday Girl. This could be the last chance of mine celebrating any birthday with this bunch of lovely housemates. I'm glad that I have come here and known them. However, time flies. Soon, I will shift back to Cyber to continue my studies and I may not have the opportunity to meet them again. How sad! (Sigh...) Anyway, this sweet memories will always be kept in my mind.

- November Babies (1) -

Happy Birthday to U,
Happy Birthday to U,
Happy Birthday to Shi Ying,
Happy Birthday to U!!!

Today is Shi Ying's Birthday. As usual, we bought her a cake. Sorry, I don't know what's the name of it, but it was delicious. Again, we chose a chocolate cake. It's the safest to buy someone a chocolate cake if U do not know what's her/his favourite and our choice has successfully fulfilled the Birthday girl's utility I guess...haha...It was full of chocolate chips on the surface. Within a few minutes, we finished the cake on our hand.

Basically, we did nothing much. We just sat on the chair to chit chat and take pictures. It's rather boring. Well, it's a Wednesday. We couldn't do much because we have classes in between and Melaka has no places like KTV for us to celebrate. Such a waste!!! But no matter where we have celebrated, it's the heart we have for her that counts. This is called "Sam Yi" agree? hehe...

~ The Birthday Girl ~

Another November baby is Li Jun. Her birthday was on 13 November. Happy Birthday, Jun!! May all your dreams come true ya. Very sorry that I could not celebrate with U. Hope U like the lil pressie from us. I wish U a Happy Holiday too!!

"The only unsinkable ship is FRIENDSHIP." I do treasure every friendship that I build in my entire life. They are people whom I will never forget until the day I'm no longer here.

- Found -

Probably those who read this may probably say I'm silly, I think I'm too...haha...On Friday, I thought I lost my pen drive. MY BELOVED thumb drive!!! I have combed every single place in my room, checked each and every pocket of all my pants, searched in between books, yet it's still not found. As I was already desperate of finding and have forgotten about this matter, suddenly it appeared in front of my eyes.

I borrowed a book from a girl friend a couple of days ago and today I returned her back the book as I have finished using it. Then, my friend asked me "Sook Yin, is this your pen drive?" I was surprised to see it showing in front of me again. I thought some1 has taken it and I even curse that person who takes my thumb drive. Opps, I'm sorry...haha...Anyway, I'm glad that U are back. Thanks Chi Huey, U are my angel!!! I really don't understand how could the pen drive be hidden in that book. I was pretty sure that I have checked pages by pages of that book, but I still didn't manage to notice it. Ermmm, perhaps not every page of it, but I did flip through that book.

Something that U have always wanted won't come to U when U are desperate of having it. However, that particular thing seems to show up if U don't bother about it for a period of time or even forget about it. Same thing goes to me and it's not only me who say it. There are many who agree with me as well. Is that miracle or it means that I did not search thoroughly? Maybe God has blessed me luck? haha...I dunno, but I do hope that lucky things always fall on me...hehe...

- It's so warm -

I haven't been talking to my family for the past whole week. Normally, we would have at least chatted through MSN or Yahoo, but this time I just could not get the time to do so. 24 hours in a day just seem not enough to me. I have to make full use of this meagre time to attend classes everyday, discuss details with the group members, search resources for my assignments in the library, meet lecturers in their room and study for my upcoming exams. I was pretty busy until I have to sacrifise my weekends not going back Subang. I miss them!!! I miss their faces, their voices and their laughters.

I was waiting my phone to ring the whole day. I know they will give me a call because they always care for me. Around 5 something, my friend asked me if I could go over her house to help her out with her laptop. Well, as a helpful friend, I have definitely answered "Sure!!". Just as I was out for this period, my mom called. I didn't manage to listen because I did not bring my phone along. What a sad thing!!! When I came back after settling the matter, the 1st thing I checked was my handphone. OMG, there is a miss call from HOME!!! I quickly called back, my sis picked up and said "Oh, Mummy is cooking right now. She will call U back when she is done."

Waited and waited, finally they called.

"Hello, how are U?"

This is a sound that is so familiar to me. It's my mom!! It's so glad to hear her voice. After talking for awhile, my dad took over the phone.

"Come back this coming weekends, Papa treats U makan."

Haha...I laughed so loudly when I heard this. Sorry dad, I would love to if I could. I will go back on 7th Dec ok? hehe...Now here comes my elder sis's turn. We talked for another few seconds then ended our call. Though it was a short conversation, it sweetens my heart so much. It almost melts...haha...

Well, I really have a great family. It's so nice to have them. They love and care for me so much. I love U guys too!!! Don't worry, I will absolutely take care of myself.

You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.
When you're prepared, you're always at the right place at the right time.

- Bad Luck -

New trimester just started not long ago, but many things had happened to me in this short period of time, particularly the unlucky ones, which eventually made me so tensed up . 1st week, my computer was defected caused by virus I guess. Fortunately, Desmond helped me to fix by formatting it. I know nothing about computer. I really dunno what to do if it goes wrong. Thank God my beloved PC is back to the normal condition, just a lil "cacat". I couldn't watch dramas or listen to songs because there is no audio and sound devices installed. Desmond was not able to install the driver into the computer when he was formatting as the drivers were at home >> Subang.

In the 2nd week, I could not fall asleep for the 1st few nights. I have too many assignments to be done. Perhaps I have put very high expectation on myself? Is that good? People said it would be good to have a target, but how if it is an expectation beyond one's capability? I supposed I am the kind of person who chases perfection and this is why I always feel discontented over things. I'm filled with tension now. Blogging is the only way for me to blurt out everything that is on my mind as there is no 1 else to share my troubles over here. I miss home!! I sound like I'm a small kid...haha...

Today, just as I was thinking everything is going fine, I found that my pen drive has gone missing. Where did I lose it? Is it left in the library or it slipped over my pocket as I was walking around the campus or it is hidden at some places that I have misplaced it? I have ransacked everywhere I could in my room, but still the shadow of the pen drive is not detected. I know pen drive is not something very valuable, but it has been with me for almost 1 year. I feel so guilty and sorry to my parents because losing the pen drive is like losing my parents' money. MONEY IS NOT EASY TO EARN U KNOW? This will probably serve as a reminder for me to appreciate things more.

Only 2 weeks, I have already encountered so many hard times. But life is never easy right? People who go through this process will then learn from it and grow up. I'm no longer the little girl who only knows to sit there and wait to be fed. I'm pretty sure that I can overcome it. I'm tough. I'm glad to have family support. Thanks PaPa, MaMa, Jie Jie, Gor Gor and Poh Yee. They are always there to cheer me up. I will never disappoint them. May GOD blesses me with the best luck in everything I'm pursuing now and May GOD does the same blessing to every1 in my family.

- Stressed up -

I was totally distressed these few days....

What caused me to be so stressful?

Assignments >>>> THE KILLER!!!

I'm doing a topic regarding "Stress" for my English Academic Writing. I ended up to be stressful as well...haha...Ridiculous isn't it?

I couldn't sleep well because whenever I closed my eyes, the words "Assignments" will come across my mind....

Why do we need to struggle against the assignments? No doubt, it's for our grades. Every1 wanna have PRETTY CGPA right? I have no other choice but to work hard in order to score good results as the assignments contribute alot to my final marks.

I need something to cheer me up. It's probably the best if I could get DRAMAs over here. It is a form of entertainment to relieve my stress. University life is never ever relaxing...haiz...
