Days of my life

I am particularly sleepy today.. I didn’t drink my usual dose of Chek Hup today.. Stock finishing soon, and I didn’t want to get myself addicted now as we’re only halfway of the semester.. Too much coffee is not good for ANYONE and being a serious addict myself, I have been trying my best to cut down my caffeine intake.

Today I went for CE class in Building 21. Apparently our lecturer is busy with something and had to cancel class. Haish. And there looking my best, class pulak cancel. Apalah. Went to Mr Lai’s office to get the questionaires for the PF project and I happened to see his laptop, which reminded me one day in class that he suddenly announced he wanted to sell his laptop. Hmm. Seriously, his laptop looks quite well-kept, except it’s HUGE. It’s most probably 17-inch kot. Hehe. No thank you, I still prefer my 12.1 inch lappy.

And today I attended Malaysian Studies as well! Hehe. Told Kul I wanted to leave earlier to put pressure in my tires. And oh my gawd, guess what I found out. My back tyre is punctured! We saw a HUGE screw on the tyre, which most probably caused the tyre flat. I doubt I can survive driving the rough roads to Tronoh, so I had the petrol station guy to change my tyre. This guy, according to Kul, seems very unfit as he was huffing and puffing so much while changing it. I didn’t realise it cuz I was too busy freaking out calling my parents to tell them what happened. Calling mum was not quite a wise choice cuz she freaked out as soon as she heard it. Perhaps thats how I quite easily freak out. ANYWHOOS. Called dad and he said just change tyre and go Tronoh to fix it. I really love my dad la. He’s as cool as a cucumber at times like this.

So off me and Kul went to Tronoh to fix the tyre. It’s in the shop opposite Pink Shop. Never really notice it, since this is my first experience with punctured tyres. And while the man was fixing my tyre, this creepy guy came and talk to me. When I mean creepy, I reli reli reli mean it.! He was speaking in Canto, which I don’t understand at all. Den he ask me, “Are you Malay?” I’m like, “No”. After finding out where I am from, Creepy-guy still continue talking and talking about high cost of living in Singapore and JB. OMG. I almost totally ignored him, giving occasional glances at my watch and pretend to look busy. Kul just ignored him straight. At last he left and I breathed in relief! Phew! -Wipe sweat-

And that’s when I went for Msian Studies class. When we approached the door, Kul said, “Wow, we’re more than half an hrs late”. Hmm. Wanna know my record? Last Monday, I came for Mr Lai’s class one and a half hrs LATE for a two hour class. Hehe. Technically I can just skip it lar but then I felt bad for not going for his class. Though showing up that late doesn’t seem to bother him, I made up my mind NOT to be late for any of his class anymore. So far so good. Hehe.

My new Msian studies lecturer is actually quite smart but he is not humourous at all. But at least he knows his stuff. Ask him anything about Msian history and he’ll talk away as if it his personal life. Hehe. I felt bad for him as students are dozing off in class and he noticed it as well. He said, “I see many people nodding, but I’m sure it’s not nodding because you understand, more like because you are sleeping”. Haha. Nevertheless, I like him better this week.

Have to sleep soon. Tomoro have to send Chia Ming to Medan Gopeng at 7.20! AM! Gosh, I hope I can wake up.

Anywhoos. HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!

Dirty dancing havana nights~~~

Rum Jungle rawks~~~

Sick

I hate falling sick. Practically slept the whole day, except going out for breakfast this morning with Chia Ming. A total unproductive day.

My throat hurts like hell. My head feels heavy. I just wanna sleep.

****************************************

I watched this Indonesian movie, Love Is Cinta. It’s funny to note that although I could understand only partial of the movie, I’m still watching it. Most people would have given up on it. Anyhoos. The story is something like Tears in Polaris (starring Cecilia Cheung and Richie Ren) except the language problem. The lead actress, Acha Septriasa looks pretty, laughs prettily and even cries prettily! Love her curls, love the colour. But I’m confused by the lead actor. He just looked too sad and ready to cry any minute. Like those Korean actors. Hehe. Dah la no english subtitles.. makes it even harder to understand. Perhaps I should watch it with Kennah or Hex or Regina. Hehe. Kinda reminds me the days when I was quite hooked up with watching Hindi movies. I made sure I watch with Kul so that she can provide me translation for parts where there’s no subtitle. Hehe.

This semester must be the most boring semester, seeing that there’s no new series out yet. No Grey’s Anatomy, no Ugly Betty, no ANTM, no Desperate Hsewives.. no nothing! So I began watching Japanese, Korean and Malaysian (YES, M’SIAN!) dramas to kill the time. Recommended Japanese drama – Hanazakari No Kimitachi E! It’s so cute~~~~~~~ kawaii desu~ And if you have more time to watch more stuff, you can try watching watching Gol & Gincu Season 2~ I like how it potrays controversial issues happening in M’sia, including prejudices against HIV Positive people, dating people out of their own race and polygamy marriages. Plus the main actors can speak good english themselves. That’s quite a good start for a M’sian drama. (No offence here ) My favourite slang from the drama?

“TAAH, DARLING~”

Desperate needs call for desperate measures

Few days ago I attended a final year briefing in UTP. Mr Idzham, the guy in JPSP gave us sample resumes that we “ought” to do to attract our future companies’ attention. OMG. Horror siut. This girl put up photos in every pages, some not even her photo!

One is posing with the Rector with her “dance” attire, another is during the Dean’s List award. Hmmmmmm. I suspect the former photo is not even hers, if you know what I mean.

And Mr Idzham said, “Petronas interview will be conducted for scholars on 27th August. It’s the same day as the convocation day. So, DRESS TO IMPRESS. If you have any really nice clothes, it’s time to bring them all out”. HmmMMmm.

So I went to Ipoh with Kul, Hex, Kenna and Regina in search for a jacket.

The shop that I really wanted to go is G2000. Though pricey, their clothes are REALLY nice. I bought 2 shirts from there before I went for internship, however, due to the flexible working clothes practiced in Intel, NO one ever dresses up nicely to go to work and I had never gotten the chance to wear it too. Anyways. So I tried on 3 jackets and after much consideration I got the third one I tried.

The jacket comes with a free coat hanger too. Cool! And in between of choosing a jacket to buy, I bought another shirt! I looove the material silk and the colours. Hehe. Gosh, both of these purchases made me broke. Really really broke. HUHUHU. But oh well, desperate need calls for desperate measures what. The jacket was not an unwise purchase. As Kul say, it’s an “investment”.

LOLZ.

Hehe. I love splurging once in awhile. Perhaps I should marry some really rich Taiwanese or HK tycoon, seeing that most Msian tycoons are old and … really old.

–p/s: yday Daarsh mentioned that Poo said that I looked “stylo” with my new hairstyle. Lolz. Bangga bangga –

…

Sometimes I wonder how fast a person’s heart change. And why it did.

Rtn Arthur said something about the “laws of attraction” of someone who attract someone or something into your life. It must have been something you have said and done that had “attracted” that someone or something in your life. During the AGM, it was quite obvious that he was talking about attracting “money” into RACUTP to increase funds but I was thinking otherwise.

Friends come and go. Lovers maybe last even shorter.

Nahhh, I have given up love in my life. Perhaps next time, I will have better luck.

Water problems?

UTP is plagued with all sort of unsolved problems.. the fucked up wireless connection which is taking them forever to fix (the IT ppl has the cheek to ask us to contact TMNET ourselves!!!), parking problems, screwed up timetable and some stupid LAN requirements which require us to take up 2 additional general studies subjects and drop 2 majors AND lastly, water problems in my residential village.

Oh man.

You wake up, wanting to brush your teeth. Ok la, still got water. And so you bath, without realising water is finishing. And then you make a cup of coffee and went to class shortly. Later when you come back at around 3.30pm, you want to wash your face before taking an afternoon nap. And so you did, and off you go to bed. Wake up at 6pm and you want to take a bath before dinner. Hmm. Here comes the horror.

NOT EVEN A SINGLE FRICKING DROP OF WATER!

I was pretty cool about it actually. UTP, with its series of neverending issues, will work around to solve it, one way or the other. So lalala, I went for dinner and came back and check the showers. No water still. -__-”

And so I msged Regina.

Me: ur hse ader water still?
Regina: yes maam
Me: goooood
Me: me and roomie coming
Regina: hahaha

So we went to R’s house to shower. After checking the water pressure, we shower la.. Mana tau the water suddenly stopped. Fuck. I onli wetted my hair but Leesh is already half way thru. So i packed up my stuff and went to another hse. Haha.

Me: Reginnaaaaaa
Me: ur hse
Me: NO water!!
Regina: aaahhh
Regina: no water alreadyy???
Me: suddenly water ran out!
Regina: aaaahh
Me: den i went to 2.3
Regina: then u were bathing?
Me: hahaha
Regina: oh maann
Me: me not yet.
Me: but roomie yes!
Me: hahaha
Regina: oh my god…

I managed to wash my hair still, despite the lack of water. And apparently at 9.15pm, water came bek. Clean, but uneven pressure. I heard from Mrs Li that her block had no water since the night before, since she’s staying in the 4th floor! Gosh. I so hope the water is still okay.

Songs at the moment – Ryuichi Sakamoto- Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

Weekend’s over, oh damn.

Shit. Weekend’s over and by 12am later, it’ll be Week 4 in UTP.

Tomoro need to pass up progress report to my sv. Lagi shit. I hate FYP!!!!!!

Dunno why so semangat go jogging this weekend.. 8am summore! Saturday sun was fricking bright till my eyes couldn’t open to the max size. Heh. Not that it’s big also la. So I asked Frank to go 7.30am today. Mana tau sun pulak din come out this time. Hehe. Poor guy had to wake up earlier than usual.

Today’s char koay kak is soooo sedap! Perhaps cuz I talked to the “auntie and uncle” selling them. Lolz. And they only sell in Tronoh every Sunday morning, so it’s a MUST MUST MUST for me to go there every Sun morn.

******************************

This weekend also I was quite semangat to cook! Well, for my ECD project, u see. Me and groupmates will be selling Cabonara Spaghetti and Bolognese and Cheesy Omelette too. Details abt it will have to wait until we actually created the website first. Hehe. I wud most definitely expect my friends to buy, like it or not. *Wicked laugh*

The cheesy omelette was an ultimate disaster. Hahaha. First of all, the cooking pan is too flat and wide, making it hard to gather the liquid egg in the center. Plus greedy me and Dini put too much cheese and too little egg. So Dini said she’ll have to cook it next time and then take the photo of it another time so we can use it on our ECD project.

Cabonara Spaghetti

If u guys find it sedap, pls pls pls support yea….

Oopsy daisy..

A short conversation with my friend Precious left us laughing our guts out.

Precious: What language are u using to do ur FYP?
Me: Hmm.. … English?
Precious: Nooo, I mean as “programming” language!
Me: @_@

*************************************

I remembered when I was in Gold Coast, leaving for the airport to go to Sydney, I was faced with another vague question, which should have been easy to answer but silly me…

Cab driver: So, who are you flying with?
Me: ERM, my sister?
Cab driver: Oh. I mean which airline company.
Me: @_@ Jetstar. feeling very extremely stupid now..

****************************************

Have I gone bonkers?

Free coffee and bagel… anyone?

Wonder how one thing links to another, which doesn’t make sense at the end of the day?

Alright, I’m crapping.

Lets get back to business. Last Saturday I went to Ipoh wif my friends, known as Spanky, Kool and Leesh. The fun started when Spanky told me he had 50% off anything in Gior (under the total of RM 200). I immediately went on the mission to find a shirt to buy (I’m a sucker for discounts). Spanky, Leesh and me found something to buy and the bill came up to a lowly RM79.

Woo hooooo.

After buying several other stuff, I decided that I want a drink from Coffee Bean. (U guys MUST try their Espresso Chip Ice Blended! It’s awesome! ) And so after buying it, we left straight to our mystical Notroh Woods.

*Handphone music plays*

Me: Lo?
Guy: Is this Miss Lim Qi Hua?
Me: Yeah, (suspicious) who’s this?
Guy: I’m calling from Coffee Bean.

Hmm. At first I thought it was a joke. Well, HOW wud they know my details! Oh well, apparently, instead of debiting my account (using the Coffee Bean card), they accidentally minus-ed it. And since I bought a drink just now, my account is apparently a riduculous negative 4.40 bucks.

Kool persuaded me to go back to Jusco to settle up this matter, which I was so ready to leave it to the next time (to settle). Mind u, we’ve already reach the edge of Ipoh town, anytime to turn back to Lumut. Plus to go back there I’ll waste almost half an hour of time.

And so we went.

Maybe it was a sign from God, but when we reach Jusco, we immediately found a car park. PLUS it’s just opposite Coffee Bean. Haha.. I made up my mind to give them a piece of my mind, like it or not!

Me: I WAS THE GIRL U CALLED JUST NOW.
Assistant Manager: Ooh, so U are the one! Wait yea.
Me: -muka masam-

The guy who made the error came and apologize profusely. I started off lashing at him like an angry dog, but then I simmered down after awhile. The guy DID look terribly sorry about it. Perhaps he did get a hefty scolding from his boss just now. Hehe.

So as they were correcting my account, I asked.
Me: So, is there any refund for me, coming all the way back?
*CB* guy: Yes yes, u can have free coffee. -still looking apologetic-
Spanky: (whispered) Ask if can get two coffee instead.
Me: Can I have two coffee?
*CB* guy: Yes of cuz.

Hehe. And here this guy go thinking that his misery is over, Spanky suddenly had his eye for a bagel. Poppy Seed Bagel with Cream Cheese. Oooo, cream cheese…this greatly interest me. And so I asked again, can I have this Poppy Seed Bagel too? The guy looked at us, shocked and speechless, but oh well, he reluctantly agreed.

Wahahahaha.

After all of us gotten what we wanted, we left. Tee hee. Instead of losing 22 bucks, I now got back my CF card value PLUS 2 free drinks AND a bagel. Hehe. Me likey freebies.
