Join in the Fun, It's worth the wait

Last night I can't wait to get to sleep, so I can wake up as early as possible and get ready for convocation.

Tonight, I can't bear to sleep cause I'm afraid the excitement of today will be sizzled (die out maybe?) after I go into slumberland. Maybe a round of chess with Zhou Gong will enable me to forget about today's experience totally?

Ah, I saw someone writing End of our convocation is held when September ends :)

This year would be special. At least, the whole month would be special. Starting with the hubbub of the ever-changing convocation details, the surprising interview at istana, the very wind-blown interview @ UBD rehearsal, of course, all the pic taking, uploading, tagging in FB. Man I can;t believe that the picture uploading is still going on, and it's already Sunday!

What's more, a bunch of us are going for a class picture on Sunday. I bet it'll be fun. I so want a picture of that board in UBD (which has all of the graduates' names) Looking at it in Facebook makes me want to have a photo of it too, at least, for momento mah, such an expensive board.

I should feel nostalgic? Depressed? Perhaps sad that I'm leaving my years of study. Strangely I feel busy but happy. Not a trace of sadness yet, maybe it's cause I'm still seeing and talking to the same people online? Haha, all the twitter people are still so active. Wait for it, once everyone starts working then the excitement and chatter will dwindle.

I remembered: being heck nervous before going up on stage, and standing right in front of HM was definitely a dizzying experience. Ah I felt like everything was slo-mo for me. It's supposed to feel like that if I were to meet the man of my dreams or something. SOmeone please tell me if this is what falling in love feels like. No, I'm not in love with HM, I'm more of in awe and struck by his charisma, and oh gosh, I have to gush about his good looks.

Not sure if we were too noisy once we got off the stage, but the chatter was good. And ah, much thanks to the marshals for helping too, esp Wardah Azimah <3 Her words of encouragement kinda soothed me before heading up stage, kinda. Too bad we didn't get to take a lot of pictures with everyone due to traffic, family, lunchtime and all other things. Too bad. I liked what Nuridah said in her interview for one of the newspapers: Being in the robe makes the whole thing more real, and the fact that we're really graduating comes on so strong, or something along these lines. That robe may not be likable to some, but hey, we're in something special haha. Unforgettable bwah, we'll take out pictures and discuss about times with safety pins and double tapes and those different colored tudungs. Some peeps would be discussing about... maybe 10 plasters?




Much gratitude goes to everyone who helped me during these 4 years (peers, lecturers, librarian etc) Gd'luck!


COMBO POST
______________

Today is the day after the day I took pictures with peeps in the studio and also in UBD. Y'know I really can't pass up that gigantic board with all our names on it!

The evening sunrays was just nice. The breeze was just nice. The people was just nice :P That moment I was supposed to go home though, was a bit nostalgic, maybe reality finally set in :) Reality that comes in parts

That part where I don't have to wake up hell early and squeeze traffic with people in my kampong just so I can arrive at lecture theater all sleepy.

That part where classes just get canceled and I'd spend the hour grumbling then maybe off to The Mall and spend a bomb.

That part where we won't hold 'discussions' in classrooms which will somehow end up in munching and internet surfing or gossiping sessions. Haha, maybe throw in some make-up tips seminar into it too.

That part where I don't have to get all sasak with assignment and deadlines. Not to mention about the wrestling I did throughout 4 years with my printer, A4 paper and printer inks.

That part where I'll stroll down to the library and bask in books. Then I'll come out and perhaps meet a classmate or two and they'll go like "wah rajin eh go lib" I'll reply "No lah, borrow story books nia!"

That part whereby every few months or so I'll have to go register and get signatures from lecturers/lecturers-to-be for the semester. And perhaps a trip or two down to the Finance Dept and pay my dues.

There's too many parts, maybe I'll be able to recall all of them, maybe not. Maybe I'll forget some faces, maybe not. Maybes are really only maybes :)

我很好

很久没有把刘若英的我很好放出来听
发觉这首歌不止唱着词曲作家的原意，还唱着某段时间，我的成长

听着听着，突然感触好多
那天，我们三人站在西门町的街头上看着MV首播
今天，三人各自在自己的领域土地成长
可能因为近些日子考完试在家闲赋着，纵使生活没有太大改变，仍然觉得自己成长了很多
四年的寒窗苦读（？） 最终落幕
新的生活期待着双手的创造 (看不懂就54我吧）

我好吗？
可能好，可能不好
短短几年间，我们改变了自己，改变了他人。 再也没有几年前的放肆，体力，甚至热情。 观点也改变了- 当然，期望这些改变是对大家都好，虽然改变的成果还未收获。 기데 주새요

I tell people I'm officially unemployed now. But it seems I still have endless tasks to complete before I am able to finally let go and seek a new chapter in life. I guess all of us are still not over the fact that we are now free from books. No matter how often we complain, studying; reading; preparing and cramming for exams have really become a big part of our lives. The fact doesn't stick, so much so that some of us went for a 3-day First Aid Course and came out feeling a bit nostalgic maybe? Or maybe it's just me. How often will I see these people again? Probably soon? Probably never?

Ugh, the body is hurting all over. It's going to be flu season over here. I have yet to contribute a post to Dear Chong's Birthday. I should. But the headache is so strong now I should get to sleep. The Bday post will come belated, but it will be here, I swear.


.

1 more 1 more!

Well.. this morning was certainly mind-boggling. For the first time in my life, I went in for UBD's exam unprepared, because I was feeling a bit dozy after taking some meds- Can't even get anything into this thick skull of mine.

Anyway, only one more paper to look forward to. Workplace health and Safety! This means war!!


Oh, I was registering a postcard on postcrossing. The devil in me prompted me to google and check if anyone uploaded my name on their postcrossing site (you know, sometimes people do that when they can't find me or sth and their cards expire)

I found this link for Chinese version of postcrossing. Was directed into a forum, and saw one of the postcrosser who I sent a card to before (named Mike), posting (very recently) a link to my postcrossing profile saying I look like one of the people in the Chinese postcrossing :S Gee I'm making it sound complicated.

Anyway, apparently I look like someone in China lah. Check this link for the Chinese literates: http://www.icardyou.com/game/13203/?p=0


I do not know how this 'Soul' girl looks like, but if she says we don't look alike, so be it. :) Still, amusing what one can get from a googling impulse .

Ah, I found a Lithuanian forum link with my profile linked too. Rough translation of what the forum poster said was that he didn't like the card that he private swapped with me. Ah... I don't remember ever asking anyone for swaps, so it must be him who came to me then. Aiyor.. if you didn't like your card, just say so mah, so kelian go to forums and post :P


Back to hit books!

200th

Current weather: Rainy Cold
Current song: Hello Mr. Christmas by Dan Bi [ref last post]


Nice weather to start off the month

Was reading the translated part of DongWan's blog just now
Where he mentioned this quote that suggests how youngsters these days are taking the extravagant life for granted.

I can feel it too. When I take hi-tea at one cafe, and my dad is eating instant noodles at home.
I can feel it too, when I see the simple food that my grandpa longs for when he's hungry.

Sigh, internationalization. (2 more exam papers to go!)

Perhaps there are times when I took things for granted. The life I have now, the things I own, the people around me. Perhaps there are times when, unintentionally, I give off a nonchalant air. Perhaps, there are times when I am outright nasty.


I can only say.. At times, I did it on purpose keke
But then, other times, I'd feel ashamed for having this 'take for granted' mentality...what to do?

Ice cream and beach

Current album: Hello Mr. Christmas by Dan Bi [dl]


In the mood for Christmas already :)
All the Christmas songs downloaded will come onto full blast for this month.

Not even finished with exams yet, already thinking about holidays? I can't help it. Today's a Sunday too. Tomorrow's my International Marketing exam. Not going to sleep tonight, until I get the exam over with tomorrow afternoon.

At this rate, my physical health will be entirely exhausted by this weekend...

Good! Exactly when my last paper is. Saturday. 5th December, 2009. 5pm

I can collapse anytime after 5 pm.

Oh wait, I can't. Have loads to do before heading to a friend's wedding. *(*o*)*


Chong is right. I dream weird dreams right in between of exams. Must be an indication of stress. While these dreams are entertaining, I don't have control over the levels of entertaining-ness. I can only hope, dreams will stay fictional and funny.


I hate dreaming about the past.


.

Please don't go..

Current songs:

• Please don't go- CL and Minzy of 2NE1 [lyrics] [dl]
• Kenangan Terindah- Samson [dl]
  

Don't I sound like a pitiful, abandoned toy with my current playlist? C;

There's loads to other than typing away here. I need sleep too. But I can't. Like my Msn status says: That's correct! I'm a person who doesn't need sleep. There's currently a block of wood in my head. Someone, please, some acid or fire whatever to help melt it away!

I should be studying. I should. I should be reading. I should. But I'm not, and I can't. There's still an effing assignment. Chong~ I need to complain aight?

Chong's my de-stressor everyone. I don't need no Women D-Stress meds that's currently on sale in Chong's shop. What I need is a dose of good sleep! Good old, bed and breakfast and normal lunch! Gee, how many days have I slept in the morning and missed lunch altogether. Skin condition pun not good. Ah, reminds me, there was a pimple on my arm! Fucking shit. It's THAT serious.


Enough ranting. Back to editing.

My baby po

He didn't come into this world the normal way ;)

It's very stuffy around here. Too many cobwebs.

Can I ask for an air-freshener?

I promise to use it frugally

However frugal I can be

Time to visit the queen's room.


.

In so far as

My titles for stuff really sucks I know.

SP is not too good at the following:

• Making up titles
• Summarizing
• Photo-shopping
• and many more

I can't get an incident out of my mind. Though it happened more than a week ago.

I went out to Bruneian's favorite hangout area on halloween night. Wearing a simple dress from Vietnam. This aunty came up and requested for pictures with the gang I was with. Reason?

My daughter is really shy lah, she wants to take picture but dare not ask. She told me people will only dress up tonight, so she wants to take picture and show her friends at school tml, hAhahaha, and her mom is being crazy here with her!

Gee, what a cool mom.

I think that little girl will grow up an expressive person.
The love her mom showed for her was so glaring =)

See, most parents probably love their kids to bits and pieces, but probably no one gave them classes on how to express love to their kids. It's so common to hear stories about these parents and that parents and how they want their kid to be. Most of the time I noticed that kids from these type of parents don't express themselves very well. It's passed down the hereditary line huh?


Just a random thought. I'm blessed to be living in a family where my parents don't restrict any creative actions of mine (doesn't mean they are happy about it, but still!)

'Assignments are welcome any time over exams!'

Putting the book under my pillow

Exams time..

Putting the book under my pillow

I sure wish that Osmosis will take place and all the words in books will directly be imprinted onto my brain's frontal lobes (?)

I did this thing once, in the whole of my academic life

Didn't wake up feeling especially clever. But I did have a pain in the neck :(




Here's a pillow shaped like a book. Awesome!





Link




I'm getting nowhere with the books

.

I'm being ushered for a new post.

Finally! Done with all the reports for this semester. (Yannie sent a text just now to say she submitted the report, thanks yannie!)

Much thanks to every group member I had this semester.
Though it'd be almost the same people :P
Anyway. Good job, you guys!


Guess it's time to study for the exam. First day of exam at 5th May
Last day of exam at 16th May

Don't miss me chyi, I think I'll update only when I'm bored from memorizing stuff.

I wasn't cooked yet, so the picture is still 'rare'

Ok, lame. I'm off.

Updated::Which cheeky person?

English exam was crappy. The crappiest of all my English exams ever.

Ah.. exaggeration.

But I did write numerous sentences of crap for my analysis part.

Anyhow. Went to Giant (@ Tasik Rimba!) with Chong after.
Woo.. so many people. UBD people i mean.
Make that UBD chinese people. Geok and Foo was there too.
* Wonders why I'm so detailed now. Gasp! Becoming Chong the second!


The 'which cheeky person' moment came when I headed back to my car.

Nasi Lemak on my tire.

I wonder what the action of putting nasi lemak on one's car tire serve.

And i think it was on purpose because my car is parked right in front of a shaded walkway. *Throw it on the walkway and perhaps dustbins on the walkway pls.

Maybe my enemy did it.

Maybe them people were just too lazy.

Maybe they expected my car to run over the bag and my car will then stink of nasi lemak afterwards.

Maybe there's gold hidden in the bag.....?

Too far.

Anyway, I can only stare at the bag when i saw it. Speechless.

Add that to the shock that I brought an empty water bottle to uni this morning.
I'm becoming so delirious.

Happier stuff..--

Nest in FBEPS parking lot.


_________________________________________________________________

Chong bought a watch with a stamp face. I want one toooo
Its like those watch i saw in Taiwan. And super expensive they were too
Now i can get a fake one hehehe

And, Chong! I found a site retailing 'stamps' and straps here!

Urm, in the process of looking for those watches, I also came across a picture of a very lovely tattoo and lovely backside ^^

Tattooossss...... Gotta get one eh Chyi?

.

Evening Scenery at Tungku Beach

Hmm.. Actually quite speechless today. Since i spent the afternoon at UBD revising Stats and all. Can't say i feel like I'll ace the exam. But ah.. ok ok lah, pass is all i can aim for. Need more practicing and less time banging computer keyboard.

Back to the laughing and studying in UBD. Yea, basically that's it. Just laughing and studying.

After that though, while making way to our cars in parking lot, Bosae spotted a bird's nest (Good eye lah is all i can say) So we were wondering got eggs or not inside. Since I'm having favorable position, better I see got or not. So... i... jumped. And hit my head on the branches of the superbly short tree. Owwwiiee...

Great reminder to whoever reads this. LOOK UP before doing any JUMPING.

The nest had (a) hatchlings by the way. Don't really dare to poke it too much lest it falls to ground n crumble. How cute!


I'm now browsing through the class list for next semester (by course codes too!) How come i never knew of such a development in UBD's website?

.

Elated

Finally! That annoying Business Plan all typed and finished.

One problem though, I ran out of black ink. Gotta wait for my pa to buy one back for me before i can officially say 'I'm done!'

Figures. I buy color ink to print and the black ink runs out. Sheesh.

Elated that I finished this thing, Spent so many days and nights thinking, writing, re-writing and formatting all the parts. Not to mention calculations too. But i guess all the work was worth the 30+ pages. I hope it's enough though. Too late to ponder. It's due tomorrow

I need to start reading all the notes and textbook for Small Business. Exam's tomorrow. Won't you believe it, I'm only starting to revise now. Or is the business plan considered a 'revision' ?

Still immersed in the elated state of having finishing something that took me so long. Now i know how authors feel. Or even planners (are u a planner?) like Chyi. Or uh.. what else take a long time to do? Building houses? Building skyscrapers? Ahaha. Craps

Logo created by Chonggie for my healthy confectionery shoppe.

One of the diagrams in my plan. Health statistic from Ministry of Health Brunei on the morbidity and mortality rate due to Diabetes Mellitus

One more sentence: I'm very intrigued by that apparently delicious jagung soup made by MSW

Ok time to shut up n read. Good luck to the whole world

.

There's actually a lot of thoughts up there

Yesh! I found my missing yellow form! So now i finally know when my exams are! Good! Just in time for the exam timetable to be finalised~ (I found it chong!)

This is just a boring statement.


And here are the only two pictures that i took last... two weeks?

This first picture is of a consumer fair picture.
My initial intention was to take the pic and read it for further details on the thing.
But since im posting it here it's obvious i did not read it
Otherwise, I'd have deleted it.

Aha! This katak kering was what i promised to post and show Chyi.
Found: In front of my house. (It's still there)
Note the almost perfect shape of the dried body.

I can understand why the head would be gone though.
I'm just amazed at how the frog can be so flat and so dry. No smell at all!

Anyway. I'm supposed to be finishing up a business plan. Which i haven't start to do.
Soon soon

Meantime, i entertained myself by playing these two highly addictive game.

Type racer

Let's get addicted together!
