Well, i've just decided to push down my longest post and get on with a new one... in case some of you may get really annoyed by the word LAN now... however i have some good news and some bad news for you guys reading here....
the good news is... you dont have to see the word LAN anymore... at least in this blog...
BUT.... the bad news is... i'll be talking about the subject in this blog... so indirectly they will be connected... so sorry...
I've just completed my very first assignment of the semester which is for pengajian Malaysia or better known as Malaysian studies for some people... which is a more than 300 word essay written in BM... known as a karangan... with the title of: Pembinaan Bangsa Malaysia...
I struggled like hell when i was writing this essay... after almost 2 years of not using BM, they have all decided to go on holidays around the world without me noticing.... i'll have to call them back using sos calls... however not all of them turn up.... my BM is still scattered everywhere... how i wish i'm like rae, the Miss BM... hahaha.... but i still managed to finish the essay with i-dont-know-how-many words... but i'm really sure that it exceeded 300 judging the amount of papers i have used....
I'm not allowed to screw up this essay cuz my lecturer told us that a copy of this essay will be sent to the prime minister's office... where he'll be reading them one-by-one... i really doubt that... as we know the prime minister or better known as pak-lah is a busy person... how is he going to fork out the time from his schedule and read i-dont-know... maybe more than a 1000 of essays under the same topic???? i dont think so.... all of us laughed when the lecturer mentioned that our essay will be read by the prime minister... till now i dont think many of us are convinced about what he said... anyway... i think i could still manage PMR standard of BM karangan... so it should be ok....
i'm starting my third week tomorrow... assignments are starting to pile... better get going or else there'll be too many to be done on the last minute because most of the deadlines are on the same week... besides i still have my hiragana and katagana to memorise.... so it'll be a busy life after this... hopefully i'll still be able to blog cuz reading blogs has now become one of my favourite past time....
oohhh... look at the time.... should be off cuddling my pillow in bed now...
oyasuminasai!!!!!

the LAN accreditation interview (finally...)
I finally got to know what is this whole LAN accreditation thingy interview is all about... they'll just ask you a few simple(but tricky) questions about the university and your study life to get to know the conditions and facilities of the uni...
Let me just start from the right beginning when i was required to gather at the media room for lunch.....
-flashbacks-
my class was suppose to end at 12.30 today but out tutor decided to let us off early at 12pm... usually this is good news for me but however realising that i have to wait alone until 1 o'clock for this LAN thingy is not a good idea.... but no choice... i'll still have to wait.... i wander around until bout 12.50 and decided to go and find where actually is this media room located... i heard its somewhere near the reading room but i'm not sure which part of it is near the reading room (doesn't really make sense... but hey, this is UTAR!!)... so it turns out that the media room was not near the reading room, it was actually in the reading room itself(things just couldnt get any weirder).... so i went and peek thru the window to see if there's anyone inside the reading room... there were no familiar faces in the reading room so i thought i'll just wait outside until someone i know come over and join me... well, things really didnt go as what i've planned... i met dr. sham(the broadcasting course advisor) on my way out of the reading room... surprisingly he actually recognise me from the briefing the other day and told me that i could already go in the room and get my lunch... he even knows my name!!!!! i wasnt really keen to be the first person to step into that room so i stayed at my spot for a while hopefully dr. sham will leave so that i could continue wandering around... but dr. sham looked at me with a please-go-in-now look... so that leaves me no choice but to go into the media room.... i was the first one in the room (not surprising) so i took my attendance(yup, you actually need to take your attendance so that they know you are there) and took my lunch, which was a burger from mcD and a cup of orange juice which you are allowed to refilled if you want some more....
i ate my lunch and went out to wander again because there's nobody i know in that room so what's the point of sitting there and stare at the lcd tv???? did i mention that i actually have a society meeting at 2.30??? i guess i didn't... however, it doesn't affect anything about the interview today... (you'll know why... read ahead...) i went back in with one of my other coursemate at 1.30.... took a slice of pizza and started chatting since i've found someone i knew....
until about 2 something, dr. sham said that the faculty representative and all the course representatives will be the first batch going in for the interview later.... then someone on the tv and all of us start watching "sepet".... in the middle of the movie... the first batch was called in for interview... leaving the rest to continue watching the movie... luckily we are asked to wait in the media room where there's a tv and dvd player.... its not that boring if you've got something to watch, of course the show must not be boring or else it will make things worst.... but i somehow didn't manage to watch the first part of the movie... it just started from somewhere in the middle... then when they play the first part it was not playing really smoothly... cetak rompak ma.... so anyone with the vcd??? can borrow?????
then the second batch was called in... the year 3 sem 2 students.... ??????? how come they are the ones interviewed first??? which means the year 1 sem 1 freshies(aka blur case people) are the last ones to be interviewed.... i thought it should be the freshies who cant really provide a lot of information about the uni will be the ones first since they cant get any info from us anyway so why keep us till last???? i've only started me degree for less than 2 weeks... how should i know things about the uni??? i have not even get to know all my lecturers and tutors yet!!!!
so we waited... and waited.... and waited.... and waited...... and waited.... until we finish the whole "sepet"... and continue waiting.... until we were moved from the media room to the waiting room... however when we got there... there was another group still waiting to be interviewed... so, more waiting.... the year 1 sem 2's started entertaining themselves by doing a mock interview by themselves with all kinds of weird english accents.... i couldn't help laughing at one of the answer they gave... here it goes... Q: what do you think of the university's facilities and equipments??? A: oohhhh(you've got to imagine it answered in a weird english accent).... oh my god... the university's facilities are so high-tech that i don't know how to use them!!!! -burst off laughing- then, one of them turn to us and asked: you guys are from year 1 sem 1 right???
us: yeah...
senior: dont worry much... you guys will be much like us when you reach sem 2....
us: (internal monologue aka monolog dalaman) what!!!!!
anyway... we continue waiting and wait and wait and wait..... then the group before us went in the room... continue waiting.... until finally......... -drumrolls- its our turn!!!! look at the time, it's 4 pm already.... so about8 ir 9 of us went in (3 year 1 sem 1-s and the rest are year 1 sem 2-s)... there were 3 peoplr sitting on a long table... an indian lady, a malay guy and a dono-whether-is-a-malay-or-indian guy without a laptop in front of him... after all of us have seated...
1st Q(Q also will be representing the LAN people): all of you are from year 1???
A: (nods)
q: sem??
A: 1(us), 2(the rest)
Q: ok... please introduce yourself...
A: -introducing- (everybody with their own grandmother story about their origin....)
after a round of introduction,
Q: ok, now... why is utar your choice of university...
A: (this was answered by a 2nd sem student as he goes along about how he dont like physics during his stpm and he quited stpm for utar... bla bla bla...)
Q: how do find this course?? (looking at me...)
A: (so this was answered by me) er... actually we have just started for a week and a few days and mostly first lectures are about introduction towards the subject and coursework and stuff... so i think i cant really give any comments about this....
Q: Oh, ok... (looks at the sem 2 students)
A: (and they start answering)
Q:so what are your expectations?? (looking at me, again)
A: erm... basically i'm really interested in drama series... i've been watching them since young especially the chinese ones... i've noticed that most of the tv series are from foreign countries... china, hong kong, taiwan... so i really hope that one day malaysia could also introduce our own tv series to other countries... hopefully i could bring local tv series and introduce them to other countries.... (something like that... i dont really remembered what i answered)
note: i cant really recall all of the questions asked... so i'll just write about the ones i remember..
Q: how do you manage your time among your coursework, studies and exams??
A: (answered by the sem 2-s)
Q: (someone somehow mentioned about the library) so how often do you go to the library??
A: -silence- (everyone looking at each other) occationally... uncountable times..... err.... erm... hmm...
Q: Do you know where is your library???
A: (everyone nod furiously)
Q: ok, so i've seen some very good journals in your library, do you use them for research??
A: (answered by the sem 2-s again but the answer was obviously yes...)
Q: do you find it hard to understand??
A: (one of the sem 2-s answered) the way i do my research is that i'll put a dictionary beside me (really?????) and use it when ever i dont understand something or i'll ask my brother...
Q: (to the certain sem 2) what journal have you come across with??
A: (yikes!!) er... er... er... i dont remember the author's name...
Q: It's ok, just tell us the title...
A: (he's gonna be in big trouble...) er... er.. er... the journal is from my brother... i dont really remember.... er... i think its... communication.... communication.... er... communication for business... something like that....
Q: (doesn't look really convinced) Ok... do you find the degree course different from your previous studies??? (looks at us again...)
A: (i answered again...) er... not really because since we have gone thru a year of foundation here so i find it quite easy to adapt to the way the course goes.... (continued by others)
-many other random questions about the coursework... answered by the sem 2-s-
Q: is your exam based on your syllabus???
A: (nods... but one of the sem 2-s answered)
-a few more questions-
Q:ok... we're done... you can go now....
Yay!!!
not so fast!!!! we are still required to fill a form that requires us to write down the questions asked and our response towards it..... sigh.... most of the questions were answered by the sem 2 students... therefore i basically left most of the responses ares blank... so what's the point of interviewing us anyway???? we answered less that a quater of the questions!!!! you can totally count us out... there wont be any difference!!!!!
by the time, i got everything done, it's almost 5 already!!!! did i say that i have a society meeting at 2.30 - 5 pm??? well, obviously... i didn't get to attend it because it ended already!!!! so that's why i said it does not affect anything today.... luckily they didnt ask anything about society and clubs.. or i'll be answering: actually, i'm suppose to be in a society meeting now... n-o-w... so i guess its not that important since i'm required to come here rather than my society meeting... (trying to sound as innocent as possible)
then when i was going out, some very-smart guy double parked his van right in front of my car... with his engine on and no phone number to call... i went and ask the guard whether he knows who's van is that and can he "kindly" move it cuz i wanna go home???!!!! the guard answered... "ahh... dia orang sekarang dalam ambil orang... sekejap lagi dia keluar..." oohhh... so smart, sekejap go ambil orang and park his van in front of my car???!!!! there are parking spaces available, you know???? it society day!!! most of the students left at 2pm... plenty of empty spaces!!!! why block my car??? especially when i'm so desperate to go home!!! after waiting for dono-how-long, he finally came out and move his car so that i could go home....
i'm so thru of waiting today.....

distracted... (hehe...)
The computer was actually turned on for assignment purposes but however i just happen to come to my blogspot account.... it's not something i planned to do.... -honest-
Then i've realise that a few of my friends have not been updating their blog... cheryl's frequent-updating-mode is on the go again... so read a few posts on her blog... her english is so "powderful"(aka powerful) that i really felt ashamed of my english in my blog.... but anyway... as i have stated right at the top of my blog that english has never been my best subject, it really has never been my best subject... so friends, bear with me, ok???
Debbie has updated her blog a few days ago so it will be kinda mean to demand for any further updates... but there's 1 thing i always wanted to asked: debbie, why do you always save your blogs as draft and post them like a few months later????? at first i thought blog spot has lost the track of time.... just then i realised that you have been saving your blogs as drafts and post them later.... she should be coming back a few months later anyway... so it either finish posting up all her posts about her life in japan or post them up slowly to keep the fun instead... i think she's choosing the latter judging the way she post her blogs... anyway is fine with me as long i get to read new blog entries... i dont care whether they are the latest ones or not....
HP's blog is still about her "beginning" of her study life in setapak... semester has already started for one week already i thought she might have some things to blog about but i also understand that she have to travel quite a long journey from subang to setapak so i must be considerate and not keep urging her to post blogs... its really kinda tired traveling to a place so far, just listening to it is also tiring... but at least you have a nice campus.... i have to go thru air pollution everyday... besides, i have to walk under the hot sun so frequently that i'm going to lost my so-called fair complexion already!!! i must put on sun-tan lotion when i'm required to walk from one building to another next time....
Rae's blog is still showing her ideal career which happens to be a bank president... (just kidding, rae. but if you dont want people to keep talking bout it, you better post up to sink it down...) cuz rae doesn't have a frequent-updating mode like cheryl and she's now very busy cuz a-levels exams are around the corner (or they have already started??? correct me if i'm wrong) so forgive her for not updating... i'm SURE that she'll post some blogs after her major exam is over... at least a few quizzes from blog things.... Gambate!!!
well, i'm off to go thru my assignment question now... (that's actually what i intended to do in the first place without being accidentally distracted by blogspot...)
p/s: is the suggested name for our gang fantastic 4??? how come i got the feeling that it somehow is????

about LAN accreditation briefing...
Well... as promised although i know most of you will not be interested to know... i'm here to tell you bout the LAN accreditation thingy which i was "luckily" chosen to attend today.....
i went to school at 12.15 cuz the briefing starts at 1... found a parking space right in front of school... -so lucky- bought 1 of my text books.... and headed straight to the room where the briefing is held... once i stepped into the room, looked around... i stretch out my head to check whether am i in the right room or not cuz there was not one familiar face in there... after staring at the room no. for a few seconds, knowing that i am in the correct room, i walked into the room hoping that nobody will notice me walking in... i sat at the very corner of the room to avoid gazes cuz most of them in the room have friends and some of them were looking at me with a where-do-you-come-from look and that freaks me out cuz if they all know each other, does that means they belong to the same group while i'm the only weirdo here??? i kept checking my note about today's briefing to make sure i'm not in the wrong place at the wrong time... unfortunately... i am in d correct venue stated... then one of the lecturers asked "anybody from year 1 sem 1??" i raised up my hand and kept glancing around the room for someone else to raise theirs but i'm the only year 1 sem 1 student there.... (note: the girl who was supposed to go with me is not feeling well so she didn't attend to briefing) the lecturer nodded and i was quite relieved that i'm not in the wrong place after all... just that i'm the only one there...
after everyone settled down, a guy from year 1 sem 1 turned up... why didn't he turned up earlier so that i won't have to be so freaked out when entering the room???? stupid fella....(haha, no offense.. i dont think he's reading my blog anyway... we practically dont know each other except for names...) then they begin explaining why were we asked to be there...
it turns out that UTAR's broadcasting course has not been accredited by LAN, so we(the so called have-very-positive-attitude-towards-the-university people, i think none of them is reading my blog... cuz they'll realise that they have got the wrong person... hahahahaha) were selected to be interviewed by some people from LAN to convince them that UTAR's broadcasting course has the standard to be accredited.... haha... so it's up to we people that the course will be accredited or not... (important-nye...)
the interview will be on wednesday.. which is the day after tomorrow(not the movie!!)... there will be a free lunch!!! haha... i can save money again!!! yay yay!!! i'll update bout it after the interview... stay tuned!!!!
after the whole briefing stuff... i went to the office to asked whether they have approved my transfer of tutorial group already... it turns out that it's already approved!!!! i'm now a member of bc3!! yay!!!!
i went to school at 12.15 cuz the briefing starts at 1... found a parking space right in front of school... -so lucky- bought 1 of my text books.... and headed straight to the room where the briefing is held... once i stepped into the room, looked around... i stretch out my head to check whether am i in the right room or not cuz there was not one familiar face in there... after staring at the room no. for a few seconds, knowing that i am in the correct room, i walked into the room hoping that nobody will notice me walking in... i sat at the very corner of the room to avoid gazes cuz most of them in the room have friends and some of them were looking at me with a where-do-you-come-from look and that freaks me out cuz if they all know each other, does that means they belong to the same group while i'm the only weirdo here??? i kept checking my note about today's briefing to make sure i'm not in the wrong place at the wrong time... unfortunately... i am in d correct venue stated... then one of the lecturers asked "anybody from year 1 sem 1??" i raised up my hand and kept glancing around the room for someone else to raise theirs but i'm the only year 1 sem 1 student there....

after everyone settled down, a guy from year 1 sem 1 turned up... why didn't he turned up earlier so that i won't have to be so freaked out when entering the room???? stupid fella....(haha, no offense.. i dont think he's reading my blog anyway... we practically dont know each other except for names...) then they begin explaining why were we asked to be there...
it turns out that UTAR's broadcasting course has not been accredited by LAN, so we(the so called have-very-positive-attitude-towards-the-university people, i think none of them is reading my blog... cuz they'll realise that they have got the wrong person... hahahahaha) were selected to be interviewed by some people from LAN to convince them that UTAR's broadcasting course has the standard to be accredited.... haha... so it's up to we people that the course will be accredited or not... (important-nye...)
the interview will be on wednesday.. which is the day after tomorrow(not the movie!!)... there will be a free lunch!!! haha... i can save money again!!! yay yay!!! i'll update bout it after the interview... stay tuned!!!!
after the whole briefing stuff... i went to the office to asked whether they have approved my transfer of tutorial group already... it turns out that it's already approved!!!! i'm now a member of bc3!! yay!!!!

First week as a degree student....
Its the last day of my first week of school... i'll be starting my tutorials next week... let me give you a brief recap of what happened thruout the whole first week....
Monday: there's no classes so i guess there's nothing to share....
Tuesday: The first day of school... i got to know from a very helpful friend that my class starts at 9.30 so i left home at eight just in case i needed time to search for parking spaces... however there was no empty spaces along the road so i have to park at section 17 which is across the road.. the whole picture is... a "T" shape... my school is along the vertical line (those who know utar should know that they are all over the place....) and i parked at the horizontal line of the "T"... there's a road between the 2 lines.... so here's how it goes... i parked my car and walked to pc which is like the 3rd last(correct me if i'm wrong...) building in the row... what i'm trying to say is: "its a LONG way!!!!" so after i reached they block i went straight to the notice boards to check which tutorial group i'm in and started copying the timetable of my group.... after that... i have to walk to pg to attend my class, which is the first building in that row ( another long walk).... after 2 classes of pengajian malaysia... i walked back to pc to get my photo taken for the student id card.... THEN.... i walked back to where i parked my car.... guess how much i've walked????!!!! under the HOT sun!!!! it was an exhausting first day because i was sweating like... (cant put it in words) after i got into my car.... however i met a few old friends from foundation and made a few new friends....
Wednesday: since there are no tutorial classes on the first week so i only have 1 class on that day.... before the class, one of my friend ask me whether i would like to change my tutorial group because he got some friends who like to change and they are short of one more person to switch... under some circumstances, i would certainly like to switch group because most of my friends are in the other group... so i agreed and signed my name for the switch... it's not really approved yet... hopefully it'll be approved... Communicative English was kinda fun actually... i get to know a few more new friends that day....
thursday: thursday was a long day because i had classes from 8 till 5... therefore, i'll have to go to school early and lucky for me i got a parking space right in front of the school... haha, lucky me... introduction to mass comm was kinda boring cuz we got a blur lecturer which i assume he himself is not sure about what he's talking about... luckily i learnt a bit of the theories in writing for mass communication during foundation so i got to understand the whole idea from start... he keeps giving examples and repeats the same thing over and over... for instance: in communication, there'll be a sender, receiver, message, channel, noise and feedback.... you can actually explain all of them by giving one example... "the lecturer(sender) is announcing that there'll be no class next week(message) for the broadcasting students(receiver) thru a microphone(channel), during the announcement, the microphone is not functioning well(noise) so the students ask the lecturer to repeat the announcement(feedback)... isn't it simple??? the poor lecturer is giving examples for each and every element.... sigh... it's more confusing that way... and it wastes time too!!!! Then, it's time for our elective class... we are given a choice to choose either japanese or chinese(i believe i mentioned that a gazilion times already...) for our elective... i chose japanese cuz i already know chinese and there's no disadvantages at all for a broadcasting student to learn an extra language.... so i signed up for the japanese class... and quite a number of students showed up for the japanese class as well... some of my friends continue with chinese because they are afraid that they cant catch up with a new language... however, the lecturer said that japanese is going to be very hard if we don't put effort and we'll have to memorise all the hiragana and katagana characters (50 each) within 2 weeks.... and basic greetings, numbers and classroom vocabs by next week... after hearing that a few students started to think whether they made the right choice and the lecturer let them go and try out for the chinese class... a few of them left and did not come back... i however stayed because i always wanted to learn a new language and i wanted to take the challenge and proceed until japanese 4.... hahaha.... wish me luck...
Friday: which is today... also 1 class only due to no tutorial classes... broadcasting was a fun subject for me as we get to shoot documentaries and create our own radion stations as assignments.... before our class the lecturer suddenly announced that she would like to see two people... which includes me!!!!!! being very surprised cuz i have never been called out during lectures went to the front to see what's the matter... the leturer said the other girl and me have to attend a certain LAN accreditation briefing (HP, do you know anything bout that????) but why me and her only???? it's getting kinda scary now... i'll have to attend that briefing on monday... (yikes!!! that's my rest-day!!) hopefully i'm not in trouble.... luckily the girl who's going with me is someone i know.... hehe...
that's all bout my first week... will update more about my degree life after this.... stay tuned!!!!
Monday: there's no classes so i guess there's nothing to share....

Getting ready....
I'm gonna start my first day of degree tomorrow... i know some people will be wondering that why is my first day tomorrow, by right its tuesday tomorrow and classes usually will start on a monday... well the gues about no tutorial classes on the first week is actually half correct... Right, there are no tutorial classes during the first week of school but that's not why i'm having my first class tomorrow....
Ta-da...
i actually dont have classes on monday... means i'm off on mondays... however.... HP dont feel so jealous first.... i dont have like 3 months of holidays every year like HP does.... i only will be enjoying them this year but it will be down to 3 weeks of holidays after every semester for me after that(big difference, right??)... because i have 3 semesters a year except the first year... so that means i'll have short short holidays while hp gets to enjoy her life in 3 months...
most of my friends has withdraw from utar and went to segi instead.... so that means i'm off making new friends again... sigh... why must i start that everytime??? i'm not good at all at making friends... i'm not really a friendly girl... most of my friends say i have a pretty fierce face when i'm not smiling.... what can i do??? i didnt ask for a fierce face... i'm borned like that!!! cant change, and sorry if it bothers you....
UTAR has not notify us students the tutorial groupings yet.... excuse me.... -trying to sound as innocent as possible- how are you going to know your timetable if you dont know your tutorial groupings???? i mean i know the timetable is pinned on the notice board for us to copy but which timetable should we copy... every class have different timetables, you know?????!!!!! What can i do??? bear with it... i'll be used to it one day since i'll have to spend 3 years in UTAR.... they can be so uneffiecient sometimes..... -speechless-
i hope i get a nice group though... and 1 more thing... about the elective subject thingy... dont we get to choose what subject we want to take??? how come i've got this feeling that we have to accept whatever subject that is given to us by the school... in my case... Chinese and japanese language.... i've been saying like a dozen times that i wanna learn japanese.... but i kinda got this feeling that i have to go with chinese again.... i dont hate chinese... but i just want something else for a change... cant i????? leaning another language sounds fun.... anyway... if i'm back to chinese again.. oh well, might as well stick to it... its not that bad after all.... -cross my fingers for japanese anyway-
that means goodbye to my beloved holidays!!!! I'll certainly miss them.... and youtube... i'll not be able to watch videos there for a long long time now... since school is starting, i dont think i'll have the time to wait for it to load and watch.... see you soon, youtube... 
They loved youtube too.... (can you see shaowei on the screen???)
and i'll also have to ditch my millsberry(actually its my bro's account)... i'll not be able to collect the interests daily so it'll go to waste everyday... unless my sister remembers to collect them... and it'll have to wait for some time before being awarded the green belt in dojo....
aiyaiyai... i'm sounding like i'm going somewhere far far away and will not be coming back for ages.... nonono.... i'm just gonna start my degree.... for heaven's sake... it sounds so dramatic....
-knocking everything off-
wish me luck for tomorrow...
off for dinner now, my stomaches growling.... -growls-

Life tests...
Haha... i have not forgotten about blogthings..... since i'm in mood of writing blogs and yet i have nothing to write about, why waste my mood when there's always blogthings to help fill my empty blog... It always helps me by providing some ideas to add some colour to my bloggy...
| Your Life is 38% Off Track |
 In general, your life is going very well. You're quite happy with where you are and what you're doing. And even if you get a bit off course, you're usually able to get back on track easily. |
Looks like my life is going ok base on this quiz... its going kinda well... so i should appreciate what i have for.... since i'm only 38% off track... but i'm still quite clueless bout the off-track part.... what did i do that got me off track???? anyone with ideas????
| Your Life is 68% Perfect |
 Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don't have much to complain about. Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you're usually too happy to notice. |
Ooo... not bad huh??? i think the 32% of imperfectness is due to my off-track thingy... well.. you can't ask too much on anything... nothing's perfect anyway... I have a nice house(overloaded with stuff), a nice family(including a noisy brother and a quite stubborn sister), an old car(but it's still running nicely), a bunch of cool friends (haha... you know who you are...), i studying the course i like... loads of my favourites vcds and not forgeting my buddies(scroll down and catch some older post for more info bout my buddies...)... well... what else would i ask for????
| How You Life Your Life |
 You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You are always tactful and diplomatic. You let people down gently. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable. |
Oooo.... its kinda accurate then.... but i dont really have only one best friend... i actually have a few to count... but not a lot... i know... i dont really have a lot of friends to count... i sure dream big... TVB is certainly a dream that is quite hard to reach... but it mentioned here that i dont have to worry that they aren't attainable... means they are somehow attainable!!! Yay!!
| Your Life Is Worth... |
 |
Errr.... It's kinda little if you ask me.... less than a million.... is my life that cheap???? I'm working my head off for my degree, ok???? how can you consider that cheap??? but why should i sell off my life anyway... hahaha...
Hehe... been trying out tests about life... lemme think of the next theme for my next blog update if i wanna continue with blog thingies.... stay tune for more!!!

Orientation...
I'm just back (actually not "just", been back for bout 2 hours already) from my degree orientation.... well, there's one thing i want to mention.... LUCKILY i paid my fees.... cuz i just know that you actually cant register if you have not paid your fees besides you are not given the orientation goodie pack too which consists of a planner (actually its a big cardboard calender like those from kasturi or kancil tuition centre), the orientation booklet, a t-shirt, students code of conduct, a notepad, a pen, a temporary id card with lankyard, a few forms bout soft skills and some pamphlets of certain things in the school (i'm not sure what is it cuz i did not read it).... for those who have not paid, they also will not be able to get thier id number, which is really troublesome when it comes to finding your own tutorial group and timetable..... a few of my friends who have not paid have to go through all those... poor things... but the point is... the due date for the student bill is stated 2nd of june but now they are telling you that you should pay up before the school reopen which is kinda riddiculus because why did you put your due at at 2nd of june when you want them to pay before the school reopens instead(which is 28th may)?????
why why why?????
the utar system sometimes.... they make you speechless.....
the orientation is like all normal orientations.... they tell you bout the school, announce the date of the utar ball night, keep reminding us to attend the ice-breaking thingy tomorrow, some words from the heads, deans and speeches from whoever's rank is high enough to speak on stage..... then they lead you to a campus tour.... which was quite proffesionally filmed by students... it really looks like a real tv show showing you around utar.... not bad.... i assume the credit goes to the broadcasting students(e-leh...) hehe.... although the place that i'm going to study in is kinda small but the facilities are quite ok if you ask me... there is a recording studio for students to do thier projects..... "ok lah" for a small place in the middle of an industrial area....
so now... i'm still considering about attending the ice-breaking thingy tomorrow... although it sounds fun but i'm kinda lazy to drive all the way there and not to mention waking up early in the morning.... i need sleep to get ready before i start my semester..... but knowing more people is what mass comm people require.... oh yeah, i forgot to mention... i'm not really studying mass communication but i'm actually studying multimedia communication, to be accurate.... so dont get confuse... but i'll still address it as mass comm cuz i'm used to using that word.... the staement before is just to "notify"(aka show-off) those who dont know...
why why why?????

Normal blabbing
Here i am again... blabbing bout my life.... i woke up kinda early today because i wanna wash my shoes and accompany HP to ask about parking stuff in certain LRT stations....
well, i cant really believe that my orientation is actually on wednesday(day after tomorrow- not talking bout the movie here!!-).... So fast... time does fly huh??? i'm not a real university student... Not that i'm a fake one all around... but before this i'm a foundation student studying in a university... so that doesnt really count as a
however... i'm quite ready for my degree... because there's practically not much really to get ready about anyway... (washing my shoes were part of getting ready for school.... in case you are not aware of that....)
i was actually planning to follow the CSI marathon and watch the whole way down until 12.45.... but somehow i thought it will be better for me to catch up with my "normal" sleeping hours which is to cuddle my pillow in bed before midnight.... however i still get to catch a whole of CSI NY and NCIS which are what i usually follow every monday... i actually never followed the whole CSI marathon before... only manage to get though CSI miami cuz vegas ended at 12.45 which is way pass my bedtime.... anyway to much CSI might overload my brain, i guess.... i might have bloody nightmares!!!!!
I have tried to change my blog's layout cuz some people might find it kinda boring now since it's the same eversince i first started this blog... but i dont find the templates interesting... so i decided to search some so-called-interesting blog layouts or better known as blogskins.... but.... to retrieve a blogskin, i'll have to change my blog to the older version which supports html because blogger beta only supports xhtml so i decided to cut off the nuisance and go on with my old layout even though i bores people out..... its much easier to edit the layout using blogger beta... if i were to change to the older version... i'll have to do everything in html which will make me go nuts.... so bear with my layout... it will stay like this forever!!!!

No money....
Spent quite a lot during this school holidays... good thing (are you sure???) that my semester is starting so i'll be able to get my weekly allowance soon.... and get over broke-ness.... spending money is always fun.... but it hard earning them back(obviously!! duh!!)... so far i've spent on lunch at genki's, badminton, 2 karaoke sessions at galaxy and redbox, a notebook(freshly bought today...), mother's day dinner, parking tickets...... i guess that's all.... all i can remember at least.... i still have a few days to go for my holidays.... hopefully there's nothing else for me to spend... hehehehe...
talking bout school reopening.... i'm starting my broadcasting course (at last!!!).. hopefully it'll be fun... i'll blog bout it if i have the time (ok, cheryl??). Now i'm shifting block... to a block which have very limited parking space.... (yikes, back to my parking space issue again!!) so i wonder how early should i leave home for school??? or i might as well stop driving and start depending on public transport(NO!!!!!!) the driving option is certainly better than the public transport (i guess most of you should agree) due to the condition of malaysian public transport... they are never on time... always packed... and not really as convinient as it should be.... sigh...
ok.. end of parking spaces...... i've recently been reading my Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince for the... erm.... umpteenth time..... waiting eagerly for the seventh and last book which will be sold at sometime in july... however i usually dont buy it so early... cuz the price are usually as high as the sky (or even higher) during that time.... i'll just wait until the fever has coolen down and there'll be discounts on the book which will cost almost half the original price.... i know i'm stingy, ok???
well, the are all kind of news all around the internet about the ending.... i read 1 which was totally unacceptable.... here goes:
" In the end, harry potter was actually a patient in some kind of mental hospital. He actually imagined the whole wizarding world.... mistaken his doctor as voldemort and the nurses as the death eaters..... and his lighting scar is not a souvenir from his parent's death instead it was a scar due to a brain surgery.... In a nutshell, there's no such thing as magic after all.... they were all pure imagination of the mental patient -- Harry Potter...."
How's that??? a lame ending right???? i thought so too!!!! this better not be the ending... or i'll tear all the harry potter books i have (HEY!!! those books cost money, you know????!!), okok, then maybe i'll just curse the author then.... that's free right?????

cockroach battle.... (eewwww...)
I still have bout 1 week to go before my degree starts... how time flies...
Just a random question.... how do you get rid of cockroaches for good???? i spent almost half an hour the other day battling against 6-7 cockroaches..... it all happen when i was about to use the toilet and a cockroach suddenly appeared beside me... dropping off the intention of using the toilet.. i dashed out for the cockroach spray... unfortunately... my house ran out of cockroach spray... so i have to use the mosquito spray instead which i know couldnt be more powerful than the original cockroach spray... but its better than nothing, i dont wanna battle the cockroach with my bare hands!!!!! So i sprayed as much as i could as the cockroach to make sure it will die... (i'm cruel... i know that....) while i was waiting for it to stop struggling so that i could throw it away to get it off my sight.... another one appeared... with the mosquito spray still in my hands... i started spraying again... but before the second cockroach flip itself... the third one appeared... (wonder where do they come from???) and with it... another cockroach.. which makes four and its a baby by judging its size... i start spraying all over the place for 3 cockroaches....the baby flipped itself first then followed by the second one... the third one was scurrying all around the place to avoid the spray but it flipped itself at last... feeling kinda tired... i waited for the cockroaches to stop struggling cuz if i kinda "touch" them before they stop struggling, they might just flip itself back and start running around again...
After that... i realised that i sprayed too much... while most of the cockroaches stopped struggling... i flush them into the drain with water which will also wash off the sprayings.... its kinda hard flushing with 1 hand while my other hand was holding the spray.. so i put the spray to where it belong and went back to the toilet to continue flushing.... as i was doing so.... ANOTHER cockroach came out of nowhere.... yikes... feeling lazy to walk in and out for the cockroach spray... i decided to just flush it off with water.... minimise the killing... that is... i have done enough... after flushing all the cockroaches into the drain... i refill the empty bucket and found out there's ANOTHER cockroach hiding behind it.... feeling a bit impatient already after so may cockroaches around the place.... i started flushing it off and close the drain hole after i make sure that i have got rid of all the cockroaches in the toilet....
and really, that was tiring.... delaying my sleeping time by almost half an hour....
but i have used up enough water to hold my house's water tank from overflowing and prevent the irritating dripping noise that wakes me up most of the mornings....
boy those stupid cockroaches!!!!!
and the next thing is to remind my mum to buy cockroach sprays whenever she is going out.....
Just a random question.... how do you get rid of cockroaches for good???? i spent almost half an hour the other day battling against 6-7 cockroaches..... it all happen when i was about to use the toilet and a cockroach suddenly appeared beside me... dropping off the intention of using the toilet.. i dashed out for the cockroach spray... unfortunately... my house ran out of cockroach spray... so i have to use the mosquito spray instead which i know couldnt be more powerful than the original cockroach spray... but its better than nothing, i dont wanna battle the cockroach with my bare hands!!!!! So i sprayed as much as i could as the cockroach to make sure it will die... (i'm cruel... i know that....) while i was waiting for it to stop struggling so that i could throw it away to get it off my sight.... another one appeared... with the mosquito spray still in my hands... i started spraying again... but before the second cockroach flip itself... the third one appeared... (wonder where do they come from???) and with it... another cockroach.. which makes four and its a baby by judging its size... i start spraying all over the place for 3 cockroaches....the baby flipped itself first then followed by the second one... the third one was scurrying all around the place to avoid the spray but it flipped itself at last... feeling kinda tired... i waited for the cockroaches to stop struggling cuz if i kinda "touch" them before they stop struggling, they might just flip itself back and start running around again...

 Your BMI is 18.3 - a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25 Don't lose any weight. You already are quite slender. You could even gain a few pounds if you wanted. Indulge yourself every once and a while! Don't agree? Blame the government standards we based this test on! |

however... thsi test is done based on the western's body shape...
their bones are bigger.. right... they usually weigh more than asians.... yup yup...

otherwise... you can always go to the website thru my blog...

project Superstar grand finals....
Okok... i know this news is kinda outdated already... but since this blog is also kinda outdated why not make it more "updated" by feeding some outdated news??? you know... negative, negative makes positive.. hahaha...
Actually i reach the stadium kinda late... the whole thing starts at 8 and i reached there at 8... By right... we should at least be half an hour earlier in order to get good seats... but thanks to my dad... we actually got pretty good seats... just above the VIP and fans' seats... not bad huh??? Well, we were not supposed to sit there... since our tickets are just normal ones... not the contestants' family or friends' tickets... but my dad said it should be ok cuz nobody is sitting at the moment and the crew just let me get thru.. haha... that's the benefit of a broadcasting student... not really... its actually because she saw me before when i organised the visit to 8tv before which was bout 2 years ago... not to say that she remembered me... its just that she's a friend of the pr that helped me organised the visit... so er... kinda complicated now... hard to explain... the point is.. she just let me thru....
well, the whole show was nice... Henley won.. i'm not really a fan of henley but i dont mind him winning although i like orange more... but i support KYAN!!!! too bad he was out during the second round of the finals.... sigh.... he's so cute... and he got a nice tan... hahahahaha....
i actually saw a group of last year's superstar contestants sitting on the row beside my row... hehe... they were quite close to me but i didn't really took pictures.. cuz i didn't tought of it... sigh... but gabriel was there.... hehehe....
kinda regret not buying the top 10 ep... just to support KYAN!! but luckily i didn't cuz i'm goin out for sushi with you guys know who you are..... that'll save me some money to fill my stomach... or else i'll have to go on diet again.....
thanks hp for offering to drive... you're so kind... although i just got to know that my car might be back tomorrow.... hehe....
anywayz... KYAN is my superstar... haha... hopefully he gets a chance to make a solo album or even act in one of 8tv's tv series.. like last year's gabriel.... yeah yeah...

What's up what's up....
Yoyoyoyo..... what's up besides the ceiling, fan, light and sky??? Not bad huh???
Well, juz the start of my holidays... been to the temple for wesak day today... met carol and ley yeem... hohoho.... who can forget my "twin" sister???
i'm been updating my other blog bout my cousin's wedding... d yahoo one... so to be fair.. i should might as well update this one...
Well, my holidays are still exciting... i never go bored on holiays even though i have nothing better to do....
still watching full house..
(yikes.. cant upload pictures again.... soree... no rain here...)
everybody's cute... rain is cute... song hye gyo is cute... min hyuk is cute.... hye won... she's not really that cute but she quite pretty....
been learning a few korean words thru this series...
these are direct translation from the subtitles... so they are not 100% correct... just my assumption...
wang- stinky
an nyong ha se yo- how are you(voice:everyone knows that..... me: i know... just to remind...)
bianda- sorry...
bolagu- what
panji - ring
yup seyo- hello(telephone...)
there are more to come but i just cant remember.... the korean version of birds.... its kinda popular in full house though.... 鳥類！！
going off to watch project superstar on saturday....
weird... nobody wants to watch it live...
everyone prefers to watch at home....
weird....
its better than watching movie in the cinema...
at least the seats are harder and no weird smell....
anyway... for anyone who is still interested...
i think i still have some tickets with me...
drop me a message if you want them.... FOC you know...
and... i actually saw daniel lee at the grand final last year... -wink wink-
but i dont see the point of him sitting there lo...
cuz since he is already an artiste.. under 8tv summore...
he could easily get vip tickets or even go backstage...
why not enjoy the facilities of being an artiste???
that's obviously the difference between artiste and "orang biasa"
but he left his seat before the show started...
did not really notice that he was around throught the whole show....
i guess he was invited to go somewhere else....
hahaha... as if i care...
well... its kinda weird that i dont really feel like shopping these few days....
maybe its just because i'm broke....
no allowance during the holidays...
but i'm still open for shopping trips....
hehehe...
off 2 sleep now...
