Happy National Day!

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan! 51 years of independence!
Freedom, achievement...still a lil far-fetched. No comments. You know better. =)

Anyway, I read this on an article I think. Can't remember precisely where I read it, but I do remember the important points of it. And that is, wishing the nation "Selamat Hari Merdeka" would be wrong. This is because we only had our Merdeka Day once and that was back in 1957. And that day was THE day we were finally independent, free from any kind of invasion at all. Furthermore, Sabah and Sarawak did not attain their independence on that very same day. So, with the wisdom of our late Tunku Abdul Rahman, the term "Selamat Hari Kebangsaan" is used to replace "Selamat Hari Merdeka". Of which I think is really true. And very wise.
So, don't give the wrong wishing anymore. =P

Memorable event of the day is that...my family [except my Daddy] is going for karaoke-ing! Haha, weird eh? We will actually celebrate our National's Day singing our hearts out the whole night through. Bet you can imagine us singing the oldies of all time. It's going to be a greaaaaat night! Weeeeeeee~~~~!


Message of the day:
Dong dong bell~~ Pussy in the well~~
Happy Birthday, Ding! =D

Homeless Children.

A whole week being homeless in Cyberjaya is really saddening. The five of us are like refugees, bunking here and there. The whole week had been so tiring. Yamunah, Li Ping and I had practically moved all our stuffs outta the house already. Very, very, very determined not to continue staying in that house ever again!
But my wardrobe is still in that sad house. I wonder what am I gonna do with it. But first, I gotta wonder what is gonna happen to it. =___=

Being the homeless children we are now, we are desperate to find solutions. Desperate to find a new place to reside. But sadly, we just seemed to be unable to find the perfect solution to satisfy all. Guess there wasn't [or rather, isn't] any solution at all which could ever satisfy each of us.
Separation would be the only answer for us now. So sad, I know. =(

Right now, we have so many things that we have to take care of. First, we need to settle the old house agreement with the owner, or more specifically to end the agreement with the owner. Hopefully we can get back our deposits. Even more hopeful to get back some claims for our stuffs lost in that disaster.
Then, we need to find a new place to stay. Then, we need to worry this and that about the processes. Then, we need to settle our assignments. Then, we need to study. Then, then, then....
God, all these 'thens' are really annoying and they all come simultaneously and not sequentially, like what real 'thens' are supposed to. =___=

Well, at least the weekend is here again. My family would be down for the long weekend. Let's just leave this stress and worries behind for a lil while. I'm sure we'll have more of it after the long weekend. Hopefully happy solutions will come along. *winks*
And I so need to start studying for the test next week. Especially after knowing that the test would be an open-book test, I am getting even lazier to get my bums down to study seriously. Not having a proper place for my own, I just can't seem to concentrate well. My to-do list is getting longer and longer! Omigosh! =P

Additional Frustration!

Oh shit!
No, wait... The "shit" word is very sensitive right at the moment.
Very, very sensitive. =(

It was supposed to be a great weekend. A weekend without stress or books. But life just had to be imperfect. Hence, imperfection is accompanied by....crap. *blergh!*

It all started on one beautiful Saturday morning. Waking up and getting ready to bathe, I went into the bathroom and saw something I don't wanna see.
It's invading both the bathrooms! Oh, God!!
Tried cleaning it up, just kept spraying water like mad. You can never expect me to step in any further, except to spray it away from far.
Right after, thinking it was okay to bathe, the sinkhole was practically burping with every drop of water flowing into it. I ran away as fast as I could. You bet I did. Anybody can bathe anywhere else at that moment!

Sadly, for the shock of my day, I got a call from Kelmynn later in the afternoon. Her room had been invaded!! And her stuffs are practically 'conquered'. Brrr... Conquered and dirtied.
You see, you'll never be able to understand the teruk-ness of the situation until you are in that situation. Don't you agree so? Well, I couldn't agree more on that statement. Being away at that moment, I didn't think it was very very bad. I just thought it was...well, just bad. Poor Karen had to clean the whole room.
Used up 5 hours, she said.
Even after the 5 hours of her hard work, the house still stinks. Good Lord. It seriously felt like we are in some kind of a sewage. *blergh*
And so, we ran off to our friend's house for the night.

But for the shock of all shocks, our house is totally flooded the next morning!! Gahhhhhhh!!!
My my my, now it even looked like a sewage!! *double blergh*
How could we ever stay in that house ever again?! Imagine how disgusted we were, imagine how frustrated we were too. Now we have to pack and clear everything we ever want to save from that dirty, smelly house.
Some stuffs of mine are soaking wet, and I could never had been ever bothered to check what it is. Because no matter how important it is, I don't think I can ever save or keep them anymore. I don't care and I just kept shoving them all into the garbage bag. It's not soaking wet of clean water, note that. Yucks. *shivers*

It's been a long, tiring night. And being in that kinda atmosphere packing really can kill. Imagine how intoxicated we are by now. Haha.
Time to rest. Toodles. =(

Some Frustration.

I have only two midterm tests this week and I already am feeling so choked up. If you'd compare it to Yamunah's four-tests marathon, having only two of it isn't quite as stressful. Yet, I guess I just am not in the mood for exams.
But hell no if you'd say I don't study.
Maybe it ain't as hard as for finals, but still I made sure I go through everything
[at least least least once].

I especially hate it when the lecturer would go around telling you that the midterm paper is gonna be an easy-peasy one. Pantang!
Because you'd know the pressure is then higher than before, knowingly that if you don't score this, it'll be such a waste. Also, whatever the lecturer said that was supposedly to be easy is NEVER easy! Bah~

Tonight's midterm paper was one of that kind. Right after the test, I felt as shitty as I did back when I took the Electronics 3 paper. You bet it right. It was crappy.
To be frank, I am not very much worried about what my results would come out to be. Rather, I was feeling very down for I have studied and know what was going on in this subject [and I like it!].
But as I was writing down my answers, I find myself having lots of doubts. Not pretty sure of what I should write, I start to wonder. Do I not understand? Or do I not remember? *sighs*
I guess I just don't squeeze my poor brain enough through the test. I just never gave enough effort to think. I was so tired and my whole body was as if it was gonna breakdown on me any second then.
I felt even worse after passing the paper up, and listening to the rest discussing. Pretty normal routine. =_=
Listening to all the possible solutions/answers, it came to me that I know them all [whatever they were discussing]. So why didn't I write them down?! Daym~ *sighs*

I was told I am really lucky, for there are fireworks to be enjoyed right after my test. It was the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition in Putrajaya. Today's would be the third show for this year.
Non-doubtfully, today's fireworks from Canada is superb. Of course, minus the polluted sky. It was so beautiful with all the special ones blasted off to the sky. I especially loved the colourful ones and those swirling ones.
[No photos/vids taken today as my phone was running low on battery.]
Sadly enough though, I just don't seem to be able to enjoy it the way I would usually be. My mind had stopped thinking about the test, no lie.
Yet, the fireworks just seemed so alien tonight. Just some kinda light bursting up in the sky, and that was that.
There was the occasional "wow, cool", but that was it. *sighs*
Sad. I know. Maybe I was just not appreciative enough tonight. Pardon that. =)

Anyhow, come the end of the day, life goes on. Disappointment is just another fact of life I have to endure. Just like the fireworks in the sky, it wouldn't last long. Not if I don't learn to let go. And I'm just too sure that something else would come along, either to cover up for this disappointment or to add on to it.
Life's too short to linger on that one small disappointment in life. =)


p/s:
Apparently, today is the 20082008 day. Beautiful numbers, ain't it?
For me, it was a beautiful day as well. Surely, minus the sad story.
Instead, focus on just the good things in life.
Thank you for being my company. *winks*

Malaysia's Olympics Gold Medal.

...down the drain. *sighs*
Blame him not though. Blame it all on the pressure that Malaysia has put on him.
Can you imagine a man having to carry the hope of a whole 25 million population of Malaysia?
Can you imagine a man having to fight with the world's best with all that pressure on both shoulders?
Brrr.. If it was me, I would have collapsed even before the match even started. Haha. Thus, compare me not.

But then again, the match was a very disappointing one at many points.
I did expect to see a tough competition from Lee Chong Wei though, giving Lin Dan a hard time to take on the winning match. But by the second set, when Malaysia was losing by 11-1, I knew the game was going to be a real frustrating one for all Malaysians. As a matter of fact, it was quite embarrassing.
Was skill at stake then?

Disappointingly, I believe luck wasn't quite on Malaysia's side tonight.
Every net-ball hit was unable to go past the net. Or when it did actually went over the net, it is always successfully counteracted by China.
Everytime Lee Chong Wei smacks the shuttlecock, my heart skips a beat.
Purely due to the fact that every smack he made, Lin Dan could just easily hit back [without making much movement], leading Lee CW running around the court like a lost chicken. Alright, so the term 'lost chicken' was wrongly used. Haha. Pardon me. =p
But seriously, don't you agree that Lin Dan seemed so comfortable and didn't quite use much effort to defeat Lee CW tonight? *sighs*

I bet the whole of Malaysia can seriously see the amount of stress and pressure Lee CW had straight on his face. Seeing his performance tonight had clearly shown us how he suffered. *sulks* So sad. I believe he would have played much better had he not kept thinking of the RM1million he would be receiving had he gotten the Gold medal. Haha. [For those blur enough, it was meant to be a joke. =.=]

So, I guess that marks the end of Olympics 2008 for Malaysia. Though we may not have had gotten a Gold, we can always make do with the Silver medal. Ahakz.
Seriously, it's better than nothing. Right? *winks*
At last, something to be proud of [despite the quite-embarrassing lost].

Malaysia Boleh! Ahakz~

What-A-Night..

Refreshed my web browser the whole afternoon checking for the online results for the SMS contest when I was supposed to be studying. Each of us had just sent in all our maximum votes, and yet the other college's song's winning with landslide results. Proves how rich that college's kids are. [Seriously. Haha.]

Went to the 4th Inter-Varsity Song Composing (IVSC) Competition in the MMU Grandhall in the evening when we were supposed to be studying.

MMU CLS team is the organizer of this time's IVSC event. And you can see the effort through and through.
The moment I stepped into the Grandhall, I was pretty much impressed with the way the hall was decorated. There was not much fanciful stuffs around, but simplicity is the key. The lighting especially was great. Everything looked so professional at that point. And the rest of the night shall be unspoken of, by me. =)
Oh, and we even got special seats. The third row. Great view! Hehe.

Well, the main objective we went tonight is to give support to our jolly fellow, Gjen Gkai. A song he composed had managed to make it to the finals. Congratulations on that first!
That song was one superb song alright, combining both traditional and modern music instruments. The harmonious combination.

Ok, so my mobile phone isn't the best alternative to take the video of Gkai's song. But hey, no complains alright. Just listen then, it's a really nice song. *winks*

Oh and by the way, anyone knows how I may get hold of the rest of the performances after Gkai's? Hehe, well, I left for the fireworks in Putrajaya right after Gkai's song.
Told'ja we went for Gkai only. *grins*

Best Friends Always Stick Around.

Nothing in the world should [preferably 'would'] ever make a best friend do anything in the world to hurt you. As long as you've got the right friends, trust me that you will have them by your side for whatever happens, no matter how busy or how long you've last spoken to each other.

Today, I see two of my closest friends [since Alpha] had a misunderstanding.
I wasn't reminded of any of such event whereby I am the one involved, not to mean I didn't get myself into such situations before [more than once as a matter of fact]. Don't ask me why it is so for I do not know why either. One thing I know is that I felt really bad for these two friends. I wish there is something I can do for them. Afterall it was nothing but just a mere misunderstanding.
What is this about losing each other? *sighs*

Tell you, I never believed best friends existed. Even finding [true] friends had seemed so hard. Betrayal was once forcefully accepted in a harsh way.
Maybe it was just me, maybe I was just being naive.
At least the 'best friend' term had always seemed so alien until I found these few guys. You showed me what friends really are, and I start to believe in friendship. I start to enjoy having friends at the time when I was all alone in a strange new place.
Believe me, you would never know how grateful I am for all that you guys have done for me.
Maybe it was just by chance that we met each other, but it was definitely not by chance how we became friends. And it is definitely not by act how we treat our friends.

This is a post specially for a dear friend, who might have forgotten that we'll always be there for him.
I hope you guys could resolve this ASAP aight? Or else, you can expect my nosy-self coming to you really soon.

Would also just love to take this chance to thank all those who stayed dear to me all these while. You know who you are. :)
Thank you for being there when I was down. Thank you for being there when I was in trouble. Thank you for being there when I needed to be alone. Thank you for everything.
I promise I would be there, whenever you need me. Just gimme a holler. ;)

Early Return.

Well, I'm back in Cyberjaya since yesterday. Followed Juin Hau and the rest. I would usually only return from my holiday in Penang on the very last day, so returning so early this time really felt...weird. Haha.
I really did consider taking the bus back only on Sunday, but c'mon. I think I am more rational than that. =p

At first I thought I would be studying for my upcoming tests since I'm back so early, but turn out I have taken a frigging looooooooong sweet time to clean up. Then again, it is my habit to work slowly, cleaning bit by bit, here and there. I've finally gotten the vacuum cleaner from Juin Hau, but have yet to plug it in and start working.
My room is so dusty by now that if I don't do it by today, somebody will. Brrr...

Oh and by the way, gotta take this opportunity to congratulate all graduating seniors. Happy Graduation, everybody! =D
Slowly anticipating to the day when it is my turn. ^^ Haha.

Curse Of The Tummy Mummy.

Okay, fine. So I'm being lame with the post title, sue me. =P

But my stomach ain't being all merciful on me by the second anyway.
I'm starting to wonder why. Why is it always that my [supposedly] gastric pain only attacks when I am coming home to Penang? And it never subside until days after. Grrr...
Even worse, the after-effects will linger for as long as they can. Double grrr...

Sometimes I think I know the reason to this stomach problem and tried to prevent it, but sometimes I doubt if I really know. Bottomline though, it is better off when I am hungry than I am full.
Haha. I know, I know. Wrong perception of mine, but pardon me. When you are going through what I am experiencing now, you probably would agree with me too. Understand the term 'indigestion' okie?

Gahhh. Enough of rants. Gotta rest, gotta rest!~ =)

Day Before Break.

Going home Penang tomorrow. After living practically the hardest 8 weeks in my Uni life, I'm finally going to have my break. Though it is only for a week, I'm glad I have it. [Sorry, but I mean it.]

The day before the break had been a slow and normal, boring one. Which was likable. =)
Many are not around in Cyberjaya anymore, as a matter of fact. Some are off to the PC Fair [to work or to shop], some are off somewhere for something, while some had even headed off home.
Guess I would have flight back home too if it hadn't been for the Mini-Project class. What was even more interesting was the fact that the lecturer did not come into class even after 2 hours. Bet he had gone off somewhere, or probably had even started his holiday. Hrmph~

Since the lecturer had bailed out on us like this, no attendance was expected to be taken. That took us TWO whole hours to finally realize. So, we felt kinda dumb for wasting so much time there, sitting around doing nothing. [Or was it just me?]
Everyone in the lab was pretty much partying. Nobody seemed to be doing anything with regards to the lil project. Very different from the usual lab sessions.
That was why the rest finally decided to skip their evening class and visit the PC Fair in KL. [Please do not learn. Hehe...] Eh, I was not included in that list, kay. =p
Oh, and external hard disks are especially a hit among everybody now? Seems like everyone is checking out to buy one. Maybe I should consider buying another one too? How about 1Tb?!~ Hehehe...
Anyway, bought nothing there. Miraculously, none of us bought anything there. =.=

Double oh, today I went to the Pavilion for the first time. Hmm, I wouldn't mind shopping there one time. Even if it's only for window shopping. Hehe.
Reason we went today was only to buy donuts. As usual, buying half a dozen back home again. Sister's favourite. ^^

Right. Gotta stop talking about my day. Too tired to brag, gotta pack to go home. ^^
