Never Be The Same Again

Sorry for failing to post last weekend. Very busy now that my course has taken a full swing.

Fall Apart

Gonna make this post a quick one.

I came home for the holiday (just one day). Current living in INTI's in-campus hostel, Block E, which stands for Einstein. Great study environment. I bet I could at least juice out 3 hours of study period every weekend. The only thing that annoys me is that the opposite block have their common area's light on and guess what: all these light are directed to my bed. Couldn't really sleep well for the beginning 3 days. Here's a snapshot of the place.

It's quite cozy actually... You could just sleep all day in the room, or maybe not: It gets really hot in the afternoon, especially about 2pm.

The food is very costly. I cannot believe that I've spent at least RM12 on food everyday. Now that's a blow to my almost-empty wallet. Did bring some biscuit to college, but I almost finish them. Hey, just because I'm short and small in size doesn't make me a small eater. You could be surprised how much I can eat.

I guess I might break down during Semester 2 or 3, about June to October. From the teacher, I know that my workload is killing and the hours of lectures and laboratory work for a week is a whole 36 hours. That's no joke, pal!

Loads of coursework coming right up. Better be preparing for the 1st wave. So long for now!

Right Side of the Bed

Guess what, I've registered for INTI's SAM (South Australian Matriculation) course today. My parents drove all the way down to Nilai and completed the enrollment procedure. Even after a rebate of 5k, it's still gonna cost 8k! I was really happy that my parents are forking out money for my education. I do really hope that their investment in me won't go to waste... and instead, would bring them a better life in the future, if I'm capable of doing so.

Still, I've just got my SPM results yesterday. Waited almost 2 hours for it. Got a so-so results. Didn't expect myself to be able to get better results because I didn't really study hard for it. Each time I started revising, I would fall asleep after flipping through 20+ pages. The only thing that's surprised me was an A1 for Chinese Literature, or commonly known as KC. I guess the God of Luck was on my side as everyone knows that I totally hate, hate, hate that subject.

I will be staying at INTI's hostel for the next 28 weeks, I assume. Hence, I won't be able to update my blog daily like I used to during this 2 weeks holidays. as they always said, a gain is often accompanied by a lost.

I fear I won't be able to wake up in time, as I have classes as early as 8 am on weekdays, or maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and feeling blue and moody and restless for the whole day. Pray that that wouldn't happen often! As for assignment, I afraid I won't be able to copy or refer others' assignments (I really thank my high school's classmates for allowing me to copy their homework, 'coz I often forgot to do mine).

Wish me luck in my studies!

Dirty

I almost ate a fly.

There was a fly in my spring roll which I had for lunch. It was concealed beneath some pork, a few strips of carrot, some celery... I won't show you the photo. It would totally ruin your appetite, no matter what will you be having for your meal. Believe me, once you saw the wing of an insect in the food you are having...

The waitress even joked with me. She said, 'Think of it as an extra ingredient or a side dish and just consume it' and grinned. I knew she was just joking but I felt insulted. In the end, I didn't get any compensation and still payed for the meal.

So, don't have economic rice for lunch if you are eating anywhere in Bukit Mewah's numerous restaurants. (cannot remember the name of the shop, but I'm sure it's a corner lot)

After that, I kill time by watch an anime series and two movies: Bruce Almighty and its sequel, Evan Almighty. Great comedies to inspire my writing career, if I would ever have one.

Alright, I'll be heading to a 'yamcha' session outside Metro Point shopping mall. Better hope others won't be absent. There are a few notorious friends of mine who always failed to turn up every time, hence I'm all prepared for such a situation.

Ciao! So long for now!

Resolutions

I have made many, many resolutions. And I've failed to keep to any of them. I vowed not to drink fizzy drinks, yet I only came to realize my mistake after draining cans of 100 Plus at a friend's house. I pleaded abstinence from instant noodles, only to consume a cup of instant noodles on the very next day at a 7-11 convenience shop before heading for my driving test.

I knew resolutions were made to be kept. I'm a little ashamed to say that so far, I've kept to none of my resolutions. SPM would be the best case study for my failure. Promised to study, yet I was busy pawning monster and leveling in Final Fantasy 12.

I wanna learn drawing, yet I quit an art class after 3 months when I was aged 14, giving a lame reason: I don't like to colour, I just want to learn how to sketch. Pathetic me...

Now, I would like to make a new resolution, to study real hard, so that I'll be able to further studies overseas with a scholarship. Neh, it's not like I was hoping for JPA's scholarship or something, but I still wanna get some kind of education fund, whether it's overseas or not. And to my friends, please guide me to meet my goals.

That means less going out 'yamcha', less movies, less alcohol, less time blog-ing, less MSN chatting and in the other hand, more time spent revising my studies.

Oh yah, there will be some sort of class gathering in the coming Monday, said to be organised by Agent H and A (Classmates, be mentally prepared for any changes in the plan). Wonder will it even take place? Still, I really hope to see my classmates, for we have not met often since December 4. Hope to see you there.

Here's a class photo:

Truely Madly Deeply

I guess I'm a little into Gundam plastic models. After all, not everyone will take the commuters to Bandar Tasik Selatan, interchange to LRT to Bukit Jalil, then walk half a kilometer to a rather quiet shopping mall, all in the name of registering for a model assembling competition which will be held on the 15th. Yea, there's no one like me and that makes me the odd one out, again.

Either way, I guess I'll spend the rest of my holiday slacking at home, killing off time by mashing my PS2 controller's button. But hell yea, I cannot spend the whole afternoon killing civilians in Grand Theft Auto. So now, any suggestions? I'll be glad to listen to your words of advice.

I've tried to cram a book of 'Building PC for Dummies' but it doesn't seemed to get into my empty mind. ESL (English as Second Language Studies) model papers are left all over my table, untouched.

Hey, what should I do?

Last Man on the Moon

It really makes me wonder why my friends never seemed to actually accompany me out each time I've asked them to go to The Golden Triangle or even maybe just downtown KL. Even though I know it's a little costly, taking public transport there...

But haven't I always agree to go out with you guys (and girls), no matter how busy I used to be. Now that I've quit my job, I really hope that I'm able to enjoy this two-weeks-long holiday to the fullest. And I want your company just for a moment. Is that too much to ask for?

Never mind me. I guess I still can go there alone. I guess I have always been a loner. Always, now and ever, just like the last man on Earth...
