[Entry kept public for publicity purposes. =P]

I shall now officially announce that I'm back! And I'm going to CF tomorrow! Whee!

Ok, this is random.

If you're wondering why I haven't been updating much, it's because I have kept some entries friends-only. =)

My circadian rhythm is honestly screwed. >_>;

My external hard disk just died on me. T___T Oh my precious portfolio. ='(

Oh noes! I'm 20 already?! *is in denial*

Goodbye, Malaysia. =)

P/S: I'm sure I have forgotten to pack something. I'm sure of it! But I can' remember what I've forgotten. Darn.

Operation theaters are so darn cold.. Brrr.. Had my first minor operation on 10th of July, which was also my father's birthday. Hehe. A birthday to remember.

Finally received letters on my financial aid application for AY08/09. Feeling pretty lucky to have gotten almost all the loans and bursary available (except for the Cash Assist Loan).

I have also received my letters regarding my on-campus accommodation. I've got a double-occupency room, which is good news to me, because it's the cheapest. =X Will be sharing zeh room with a roomie from Bukit Mertajam. =)

Most disappointing of all, my appeal for Applied Science has been rejected. I guess I will be stuck with Computer Science for now. ='(


S.Amanian dearies, I'm so sorry the Saturday outing had to be cancelled.  Didn't know most of you are having your exams. ='( I will make it up to you girls again when I return in December. =(

I will be going to Mid-Valley/The Gardens with Callie and Kar Mun tomorrow, so if you happened to be around the area with boyfriends or friends or families, do drop by to give me a farewell hug. =PP

P/S: Regretted I couldn't join Dea, Dv, Fie and Ce during the Hari-Koperasi-cum-KLCC trip. ='(

I bought my luggage trunk yesterday at Ikano. It's a 24" one that cost me a whopping RM 264 after discount. >_< Had wanted to get the 28" one which was RM 299, but my parents think it's wiser to get the middle-sized one.

And I still think it's not enough to fit all my things. T__T

Then, I also bought 2 OEM webcams which cost me RM 26 each. They aren't working very well though. One has more noise than the other, while the other's too blur. Tested them on Skype and discovered my dad's laptop actually has microphone built-in! Haha. It was never stated that it had a mic built in, hence my surprise. =P

I wonder if I'll get better webcams in Singapore later. Will need a headset and mic. =\

P/S: I have also changed my layout. Tee-hee. It's better for the eyes now. =P Updated the links under "Reads". What I really hate about the layout is, there's a limit of 30 links I can add to the sidebar, so I was forced to improvise a little bit. 9 more space left. :D

I have also received my freshmen-hall package and it said I have to check into my room by the 18th of July or my room would be given to someone else. Bleh. And I thought I could save a bit on that. ='(

I was cleaning up some of my old stuff and junk because, honestly, I don't have anything else better to do. Boy, you'd be surprised if you know what I'm still keeping. I found my old Standard 5 and UPSR test papers stashed in an old file I had never bothered to look into. Nostalgic. How I really miss those days.

For those who might not know, orientation and registration for Local Public Universities started last Saturday. For me to be able to type this entry here now, can only mean one thing..

Yep. That's right. I have made my choice and I'm going to NUS and I'll graduate with a bloody huge debt.

I will be leaving on the 16th of July (although term only officially starts on the 4th of August), if all goes well. My early departure is due to the Qualifying English Test, which is mandatory for all those who only took MUET. =( Jason emailed them and tried to get an exemption but they were still adamant about it.

Official registration for the course as well as registration for the hostel are on the 25th of July and 30th of July, respectively. Most would have just check into their halls or residence on 15/16th of July itself to avoid the hassle of going back to and fro. I'm still giving this some consideration because:-

1. I have not gotten my hall package (email containing important information pertaining our on-campus accommodation)


2. It would cost me extra $$$ to stay there two weeks earlier (because term stay doesn't officially begin until 4th of August)


3. I will end up spending more $$$ there for food compared to Malaysia. =S

It's always about the money. =P

Most of my F6 friends who were offered a place in Local U has accepted their offer and everyone's off to different directions already. It's like history repeating itself all over again when SPM was over. =(

I used to be quite envious of some of my friends who could afford (or who received scholarships) to study overseas. It just never occurred to me that, 2 1/2 years later, I'll be leaving this country too. Although Singapore isn't really that far. Hehe. Everything feels so surreal.

Pei Yi and Yng Jye are off to USM. Yu Deng, Kha Mun, You Min, Ke Sin, Huey Lin and Ivan Loh have gone to UM. Cong and Yan Eng, UKM. Kar Hoe, UTeM. Nicholas, Niklause, Ee En, Ling Fern, Ivan Oon and Yvonne headed to UMS whilst Huey Chyi went to UniMAS.

Funny how we're scattered all over the country, huh?

(Do lemme know if I missed out anyone. =P)

Feeling anxious about finally going to NUS. I keep thinking and wondering if this is the right choice. Am still hoping that my appeal for Science/Applied Chemistry is successful, otherwise, I would have to spend 4 years studying Computer Science. I am quite afraid to lose out to those who took Computing/IT during their high school years as I have completely zero knowledge on Programming. Damn kiasu-ness setting in already. >_< 'Sides, I feel I have more of an advantage in Science because I've been taking it since Form 4. ='( And I do have to worry about my job prospects because there is this freaky loan I will have to bear by the end of my studies. *gulps*

I will really really miss all of you. ='(

Looks like the Jifen survey was pretty accurate after all. =O

I was offered my 3rd choice. As expected. =| I wanted Engineering. =(




Shall it be Penang or Singapore now? =|

My first *hints hints* visit to a KTV lounge..

.. and I couldn't find the toilet............


Karaoke sessions are quite fun. Whee! Thanks yi_n_co, akenosama,  and priestnobaka!

Attended the NUS Welcome Tea yesterday with my dad and Chai Ping. It was held at Melia Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Boy, was I fascinated with the place! The marble floors.. The sparkling toilet.. The parking ticket was darn expensive though. RM15 for just 3 hours!

So, anyway, it was a briefing by the officers from the OAM. Got quite a few of our queries answered. There were also a number of seniors there to answer our incessant questions. I was so busy listening to them that the food was gone by the time I was done. ;_;

On an unrelated note, I ish dreading going to work tomorrow. *starts foaming in the mouth*

I'm still a little scared of tomorrow, though.

When I first got in, I could never really fathom why my colleagues loathed her. In fact, they hated her to such an extent that they wished  her plane would crash into the middle of nowhere.

"She has the ability to make anyone here cry! You've never seen how temperamental she can get.."

Earlier on, she screamed over the phone at another co-worker who's based outstation over something I couldn't recall and made that other lady cried too.


Allow me to remind you that, we're humans and humans don't have superpowers.

感受不易形容
就算會有一點唐突也要說
請搬進我心窩
如果你不幸福再离家出走

我心窩做你的新窩
也許坪數不太夠
甚至會擁擠到
只裝得下你我

*請快准備行李
丟掉用不到的傷心舊回憶
腦海中相本日記
從此更新只有彼此專屬甜蜜

抱枕就丟掉
有肩膀就夠
最后用關心問候
捆綁我們的手完工

**只要在你身邊
我就省掉思念
時間只用來眷戀

我要在你身邊
盡情浪費喜悅
也許一待就永遠

管它金窩銀窩
怎樣都比不過彼此的心窩
打包一箱溫柔
今后多多指教就相互寬容
你心窩做我的新窩
暖气不需要使用
我已經溫暖到
融化所有冷漠

(Repeat *, **, **)

So 3.4 ain't good enough huh?
