Power Tuesday Morning!!!!!!!!

FUYOHH, This morning is goddamn tiring!!!!!! I am so glad i went through of it.......

I'll all start off when i wake up groggily about 8 something after midnite express(aka doin kerja kursus) which last until 4am in the morning........my cousin also promise that he will fix my laptop adapter (oh yea, i blow my old one for whatever reason it is WTF) And with my half done presentation(oh yea the presentation is comparing same advertisement in two language and the translation which is available in both text) which gonna be on 11:00 am, times is seriously thinning...........

So, i give myself a quick tidy up(no BATH), i rush down to the canteen to have my quick breakfast, a plate of Mee Goreng.........which is a little pedas..........I chow it down quickly and with tongue burning, i rush back to my room again(those indon cleaner ladies laugh at me when i am fanning my own tongue LOL)

After reaching my room, i have a little time to cut down advertisement down from the newspaper right before my cousin call me down to get the aforementioned adapter.It was raining when i rush down again to get the adapter. The time is 9:55am. After he drop the adapter, i rush back to my room again, nw to chg into formal wear for the presentation(must look good in front of Dr. Haslina!!!)

After tidy up myself, i went on try to the adapter and the worst thing happen:it wont FIT!!!! OMFG!!!! and so i am panicking and sent the SOS sms to my cousin again. After a moment cos i tot he won't reply, i went off to the PALAPES bus stop to go to my lecture. but just when i reach the bus stop, he sms me about he will come in 10 minutes to pick up the adapter!!!! I left it in my room and i rush back again to get it(now it rains a little harder and its 10:30 am) At 10:40, he came to get guardhouse and he do a little quickfix/adaptation for the adapter head: decapitate the old wire, pull out the wire inside, stuck the wire into the head of the new one, sealotape it and VOILA!!!(even though it is dangerous, it works!!!!)

And now the time its 10:45am and i need to go to my class immediately so i hv to ask my cousin favors to drop me by the DK foyer(luckily my class it at DK foyer) I rush to the photocopy shop down at the library to photocopy my advertisement on the transparency.

10:58 am-I reach the tutorial room!!!!!!!! YESS!!!! JUST IN TIME!!!!! And here comes the presentation part.......as slow as usual(until Dr. Haslina comment that we should stop our fren which overtime....its for our own benefit) and luckily i snatch up the last moment to do my presentation. I have no idea how do i fare out but at least i am done with it.....

Sooooo glad that it is over.....nw can concentrate on doin my kerja kursus.....HUZZAH!!!!!

I got JPA scholarship and yet i am ranting.........

Good news: My application for JPA scholarship is approved!!!!!

Bad news: Its gonna be like PTPTN all over again......
-Perjanjian Biasiswa and Surat Penjamin(with a new touch:declaration of private property/asset!!!) has to go back to Sarawak again.......to get my parents signature......
-Yet again another briefing similar to PTPTN on friday...........and i am goin to LLDS on the evening!!!!! and i think i need to skip one of my Japanese class just for that taklimat(gomenasai sensei!!!!)
-My Borang Tolakan PTPTN haven't passed up........haven certifiy my photocopies of approval letter.......looks like have to find Dr. Haslina for this.....
-RM1500 of wang pendahuluan given by PTPTN have to return to them.....with my own money!!!!!!!!!!

See, even though i am getting JPA scholarship which guarantee a job right after graduation, still the official matter push me to the wits end!!!!!

And here i am, ranting.

Roller coaster weekend.......

Last weekend is a total roller coaster ride for me....full of ups and downs and excitement and horror!!!!!

Saturday:
It all start when i go to library to do my fren a favor: trying to search his lost pencil box cos he is having class in the morning while i am free at that time. And so i went there(by foot, uni bus service is erratic on Saturday) and searching around for the thing. After a few fruitless attempt to find the item, i decide to go back to my room. Then to my horror, my keys is GONE!!!! MY ROOM KEY OMFG And so i am back to library and search around frantically to no avail. I even WALK back to my room just to make sure my key is in my room or not(IT ISN'T) And so i ask my roommate to do me a favor: make me a spare key at Sg. Dua(sry Ben, have to interrupt when you have ur lunch). While he go to Sg. Dua, i went back to the library again to inform the librarian about the loss of my key. After meeting up with my roommate to get my spare key, i went back to my room, tired and hungry.

Then i went out with my coursemate Theepha to the Excel Youth Centre at Sg. Dua to have cheap student lunch and free movie(Hotaru no hoshi, nice movie) On my way, i received a msg from my roommate: my key is back!!!! This is way surprising and Theepha says she is my cute lucky star but i corrected her: she is my HOT lucky star LOL!!!!! And so with a renewed spirit, we stayed until dinner and go to Sg. Dua pasar malam to get nice soya bean millk....mmm......

Sunday:
DEAD TIRED cos i walk all the way to school library with Theepha to do group work. We went through the huge Hamzah Sendut Lib like some crazy maniac finding books from here and there. It is only until 3 pm in the evening that we are ready to go back to our dorm.....again WALKING............Taking a quick rest, i went out again with another fren of mind, Shu Li to AIESEC meeting at DK U.....and as always WALK.(sunday no bus service) But at there i get myself refresh with those dancing and game and cheering and such. Then the surprise came: i was chosen as one of the OC for the AIDS/HIV awareness project!!!! Never thought of that cos i sucked at my interview......dunno how they chose their candidate......I am not really sure i am happy or nervous right at that moment.........

And so there you have it, a weekend of ups and downs and of course with new challenge piling up(AIDS/HIV awareness project) while the old one still lingering(kerja kursus lar that is).

ps ConvEx is here.......LECTURES CANCELLED WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

How do you interpret THIS?

"Do be careful don't get too close to the naked flame."

"Isn't it a wonderful summer? Look at those naked ladies."

This is the two sentence that were given by my HBT100 lecturer, Dr. Aniswal in our tutorial. She want us to do discussion on this two sentence about how do we translate this two sentence into BM. The first one is OK(Berjaga-jaga, Jangan mendekati api itu) but what makes us talk is the second sentence(the naked ladies). Quite a few of us interpret it as "gadis bogel", some translate it as "gadis seksi" and one of them even found out that naked ladies is a type of flower!!!(wah she really did do some research on this).

So, it all come down to the context, the meaning that i tries to portray, the situation. how it was spoken and speakers/your own culture. hmm......need to think a lot more to improve my translation and interpretation.

ps. I haven start doin my kerja kursus yet....wht should i do!!!!!

Seven strange facts/habits about me.

Inspired by Paul, Kenny and etc, i decided to write this up as my latest blogpost!!!!

Habit 1: I have a tendency to displace things from one place to the other and totally forget the whereabout of it in MINUTES/SECONDS.
This happens to me quite a lot. Usually, i will take something(keys, pendrive, nametag, whatever that fits into my palm) along when i walk around in my house/room/others and then put it on another place. Within seconds, i will totally forgot about the whereabout of it and go around frantically to search the things that i displaced. Sometimes it scares the hell out of me!!!!

Fact 2: Most of the times, I can't seems to see/find things that are right in front of me even when people point it out to me.
Dunno why, i will overlook/miss things that are right in front of me even when people point it out to me. Sometimes i do wonder am i blind or not LOL.

Fact 3: I am not really fond with computers, handphones, cars and most of the so called "manly" stuff.
Just to let u all noe though, i DO KNOW how to use a computer to go online, type doc blah blah, but somehow i have some level distrust on computer. Still kinda prefer papers and pen. And when my frens talk about all these stuff, i will only gives minimal participation in their conversation.(aka Um..., Oh....., and Right......) Besides that, i am feeling a little ankward when march in to a computer store/handphone stores because all those specs and other techno-lingo which i dunno is not my primary concern.

Fact 4: I enjoy listening/singing other countries' national anthem.
YES I DO. Wanna listen?*wink* Too bad too little people shares my interest in this.

Habit 5: I love to twiddle/play/finding amusement in things that i can hold in my palm.
Even it might be a small piece of metal or pen's cap and etc, i will hold it my palm, twiddle it, play around, look into it and exploring other uses of that particular thing if it somehow amuses me.

Fact 6: I love to chew on things when i am bored/nervous/etc.
From the cap of my pen to almost any item that can fit into my mouth, i enjoy chewing stuff when i am bored and/or nervous. Movement of my mouth seems to makes me feel comfortable(izzit the correct word for this?)

Fact 7: I don't like to wear underwear.
Most of the time when i am at home, I seldom wear underwear inside my shorts. I prefer......."breezyness" and "freedom" in my pants. This habit of mine scornful criticism from my mom(ALMOST AN ADULT AND YET DIDN'T WEAR UNDERWEAR, NOT SHY ARR!!!!! sumthing like this). But i don't really care anyway *wink* But now i am living in a foreign environment aka Uni and i have to endure......"restriction" for the sake of my.....privacy.......(finally, mom's word sinks in to me...she will be glad *sigh*) one of my weirdest habit of mine.

I still have plenty of secrets to dig for so pay attention to what i talk about and what i write and you will know who am i really am. *snickers*
