GO 6 MAJU JAYA!
sem start liao.
even on the first day I feel like dying...wishing it was holidays again. it was just like before. super busy every single hour. rushing here n there to classes and to do work, meet people, get things done. phew! anyway until today it still hasnt gotten better. im in the kungfu dance performance for the college's chinese cultural night. been dancing my feet, hands and body off until so tired. hands like jelly cause the sword i have to hold isn't light although its just made out of wood. im also the publicity head for the night. and stupid HEP is giving us problems in acknowledging the approval letters. apart from that im also busy with IVAC AIDS exhibition. so mafan to get a group of people together to practise a sketch. especially when everyone else is busy as well -__-
currently im in the library computer lab. in a class called 'kemahiran maklumat' where they teach you to use the library to its fullest potential. its a matter of pass or fail. so no worries. not counted in the pointer either. its like revising my library knowledge all over again. i've been a librarian since standard 4 all the way to form 6. so how hard can it be?...i will never know.
on saturday went out for a reunion in starbucks pyramid with my standard 6 frens. it was really really nice. some of my friends changed alot in their outlook but basically everyone stayed the same character wise. talked about what everyone is doing at the moment. some in cambridge US, curtin uni (AUS), new zealand, canada, indonesia and one even in egypt! we were saying we conquered the world.. woohoo~ after chit-chatting and updating each other with happennings and the like and not to forget teasing around and crap. ;) after starbucks closed, we went to ss15 (four of us: ben shyen, dennis and eve) and we continued talking away. so nice to be with old frens. we talked so much, and it was a very comfortable company. it didnt feel like we havent met (got pass by and say hi, but that's all..didnt sit down for long periods) and with each other for nearly 8 years.
i better log off and continue later. feeling uneasy liao...

today has definitely gotta be one the those horrible horrible days that one has to go through to be human.
started out just like any other day. woke up, read my book, changed. and waited for 10am so i can go to taipan to meet up with my fren, mookhtar, to get the english grammar books i lent to him. after that i went back home and took off to cheras. alone. that was the worst mistake i cud have done. going to an unknown area
alone. i dun think im ever gonna do that again for the rest of my life. i thought that the directions from nicholas i still kept and the previous journey there, where yang drove was sufficient for me to get there. had confidence in myself... that confidence start dissipating when i ended up in HUKM. I was suppose to go to taman maluri. so i took a U-turn n started looking for road signs and stuff that could help me. and in my panicky emotions, i didnt pay proper attention to my driving. i went n kiss an alfa romeo's ass. "Good job lar, hui ling". i gave myself a pat on the forehead.
Followed him to a ATM machine to draw money and wadaya know, he led me to where i was suppose to go, Jusco area! and i forgot my ATM card was swallowed up by a stupid ATM machine the other day. so no cash to draw. my BCBB account had only rm34.33. i had to pay him rm250 to settle the mess there n then. so i took money from the rm2400 i brought to pay the tshirt company (was going there). so now i owe the tshirt company rm150 (used my own rm100). after that i made my way back home. following nick's directions again. unfortunately, nick hasnt been to that area for quite some time. so i got lost again. got myself lost all the way to cheras-kajang highway. panicked again. broke down and called yang, tears n all (i'm a person who cries alot.....sigh~) then after yang's reassurance dat as long as i have petrol, i will somehow find my way back, i made my way again. after u-turning the highway, i saw a sign! it said "Subang Jaya"!!! Oh man, wat a lovely word to see. I tot, "screw nick's directions" and just followed the sign. it brought me to NPE highway. I didnt care paying rm2.80 toll money. just wanted to get to a farmiliar road and home!!! so the end of my nightmare. didnt even care when my mom was yelling at me. was so glad and relieved to be home.......
for any other person, it might not sound so horrible. but for me it was an
absolute nightmare. cos i'm a person with very very bad sense of direction. i can go on the same road for 3 months and still fail to know the way there. so i was so darn scared when i was lost n alone. im sure u will find it hard to understand.
well, for now that is over. i still owe the company rm150 and now need to fix my own car for rm90. an rm343.30++ (including petrol) lesson for me. a damn expensive one. i now declare myself pokai.

OMG...i've spent one of the worst weekends i can remember. imagine this: 70% of ur time spent in a bas pekerja, traveling. 10% sleeping; mostly on the bus and once on the hotel bed. 18% in temples. 2% doing basic necessities eg. eat, bathe, walk, go toilet. definitely NOT my idea of a holiday.
I went to Taiping, city of Peace, to visit this place called Sasanarakha Buddhist Sanctuary. A place where monks train to become monks. Went there to attend the Kathina ceremony. An event where we give alms and dana to this followers of the Dhamma. (If u dun understand what i just said, ignore lar :P) I was
very reluctant to go there when my dad
forced told me to join them. It was a two day trip. I tot half a day would be spent there in the sanctuary and the rest is a fun n enjoyable tour around Taiping.
Boy was I wrong.
We stopped by practically every temple we passed on the way to Taiping. I counted 6 at the end of the trip. The 'tour' around Taiping was simply a bus ride around the city with a 'professional' tour guide who already retired 5 years to tell us about its history. All he did was tell us the names of the roads: "....and we are now travelling on Jalan Tupai; also known as Squirrel Road."
We were suppose to go to the Night Safari there. In the end we went to a 'pasar' with Thai goods. Weird 'ah-lian-nish' clothes, colorful plastic toys, shoes cheaper than u ever imagined, fake plants n flowers...accompanied with weird music playing in the background. Turns out the pasar was just a minute's walk away from the hotel (my sense of direction is really bad..i didnt know! the bus drove round n round n round n we ended up there)
We stayed (oh yeah..the we happens to be people in the age range of <14>40 years old. Imagine my horror. No frens to make or talk to summore. Only one I was talking to the whole trip other than my parents was my bro, doing his best to annoy me the whole trip) in Hotel Furama. Nope, its not Futurama but Furama. A 3 star hotel. No complaints there since we only spent the night there. The whole day we were out.
My only consolation was the food. Char kuay teow was nice.
All in all, what I can say is that I spent
quality time with my family. It was an experience (like I told Sharon a few minutes ago) :)

I cant believe it! I went to
technorati.com (go there...cool blog and website search page) and i found out i dun have a single link to my blog. hahahha....
that sucks! that's nice to know. at least my blog is er..somewhat PnC to the whole world.
That aside, im now enjoying, for the moment, life without studying. it's nice for a short term...but in a long term it gets really boring. ask yang, he experienced it. funny thing is i find that i have no substance at all when i dont go to uni/school. it's like when someone talks to me, i cant really say anything intelligent back in return. it's a blank..my mind's a blank. even now i have no idea what to say.
i watched kate & leopold today :D that's the highlight of my day today. cool huh?

Monday, November 8
ho ho ho. I'm back from UTM. After nearly two weeks. phew! Anyway went there to attend the NLDS (National Leadership Development Seminar) where people from UTM, UUM, USM, UPM, UKM, UIA, UM in AIESEC meet anually. It was fun and met some interesting people. Basically what we do there is sit n listen about stuff; what AIESEC is about, how to imporve urself, some case studys etc etc and also have fun at the same time.
After the seminar I went to JB with my sis and had fun. Went karaoke, shopping, watching movie, watch my sis's collection of dvd's and just plain lepak around. it was real relaxing and enjoyable but one thing is; im broke! hahahha... I think that is a main problem for every single one of us eh? Summore I wan a digicam, new shoes, more clothes, earphones and most imoprtantly, a NOTEBOOK!!! *drools* I plan to work for it in the 3 months holiday coming in March. Ah, cant wait to get one.... eee.....
Now I have to stay online and wait for 12am to start trying to register my university subjects for the new semester. UM's registry system is really sucky and screwed up but we cant do anything about it but bear with it. If i dont wait like this I wont be able to get the subjects I want and then Im doomed. Btw, I got my results liao. Aih..not good -__- Gotta work harder this coming sem.
