first day in college - lost and blur...

i've finally started going to college..just two hours today since no tutorials for the 1st week so i only have classes today and wednesday this week..hehe..my first day today was..lol..1 word.. LOST !! i was so blur and lost..the class was supposed to start at 9am..induction's postponed due to certain reasons so lessons started..

reached there at 8.50am today and met my form 5 classmate who joined the same course in january..she said i could go up to the room as stated in the timetable but another friend said i could wait in the lobby till someone shows me where to go..so i sat there and wait till 9am..no one came to guide neither did i ask..lol..so i went up..the room was empty..next to it was a lecture hall and i saw many people there with textbooks on the table so i thought they're from different intakes..since the room was empty, i stood around outside..then came a malay guy with a text book too..but he stood around like me..lol..then he left..then came an indian lecturer..i knew mine's an indian lecturer too but i didn't know how he looks like..i looked at him, he looked at me and he entered the lecture hall..(ok, not this lecturer i thought..)

then i asked the malay guy where to get the text book and i went to find the course leader to get mine but she said it's not available yet ( i don't know why )..and she asked me to go for class first in the lecture hall...in my mind was like, what?oh, no! i'm late..!!haha..the malay guy entered just before i did too..i wasn't the only one late so not too bad..lol..just about 5 to 10 minutes late i think..nothing happened..the lesson was ok..at least the lecturer got some sense of humour..

i guess that's all about my confused start in college today..lol..kinda reminds me of myself going to a new tuition centre..

before i started, some people whom i least expected to get messages from them did send me messages asking questions like, "hey, i heard you coming here study?when?" and i'll be like, "yeah, how you know?july only i start"..feels kinda weird when someone who has never sent me messages on facebook or friendster before suddenly did..sms-ing me is even more surprising..not that i mind but just weird..how news travel..i'm looking forward to making new friends since i haven't really made any..takes time for me to make new friends cause i have very poor social skills..

that's all for now..till then!

p/s. i'm feeling sleepy now...

borned with a gift...

my brother showed me this really inspiring video last night about a 5 year old girl who is blind and can play any song at all on the piano after hearing a song..just once and she can play the song herself..according to her mother, she had never learnt piano before and she started playing since she was only 3 years old..really a piano genius..



see how her cute little fingers play the piano..she's so gifted!!! who says blind people are disabled??they have special gifts and talents ordinary people wouldn't have..she can sing and play too...gosh..how adorable..and that's my favourite song in o2jam, "you were borned to be loved"..a very meaningful song..

just wanted to share this video with all of you..never give up in whatever you do..guess that's all for now..

till then!!

17 + 1 = 18... there goes another year...

2 days ago, 24 June 2008 was a very special date..know why? cause it was 24/06/08 which forms the set of even numbers 2,4,6,8..anyone actually noticed that? the very unique date which occurs once in a lifetime..and of course, it's special because i officially turned 18..

k lar, enough about praising my birthdate..haha..can't believe someone's actually waiting for my birthday post..i was actually having 2nd thoughts if i should really post one and so i am doing it..thanks to her..lol..my pleasure to do so..

well, there goes another year..how time really really flies (i've said that again)..i really can't believe i've gone through 18 years of life..yeah, people always say 18's the legal age..can drink, can smoke and so on..nah, i'm not interested in that..what's interesting is, can watch any movies in cinemas FREELY...!!lol..especially horror movies..i've been doing it anyway..kinda..hehe..

nothing much on my birthday..got an early SURPRISED cake from my church friends..went out for dinner with my family ( fantasy restaurant, don't go..it's not like how it used to be anymore) and a birthday cake..

this is how my birthday cake looks like


without light...tasty chocolate moist cake..how i love chocolate cakes..


with light..yea..my stupidity..i placed the candles wrongly and spoiled the picture of it..or should say, too old, too many candles..lol...

i really enjoyed being underage and i've always been proud of it though..sad that i'm another year OLDER ( everyone says, big girl already..or hey old lady!! mean..lol..)..but i'm grateful to be able to enter the 18th year of my life..


nice???


thanks everyone for the presents..i like all of them very much..!!
(what's inside remains a mystery here..hehe)

and thanks everyone for all the wishes through phone, sms, msn, friendster, facebook and this cbox here..how thoughtful of all of you..i'm really happy to still receive birthday wishes from all my friends though we all left school...

p/s. deepest heartfelt regret : i lost something and i don't even have a picture of it ='( (lesson learnt, never take things for granted )
i have two friends whose birthday's just 1 day before mine..so,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SU YENN AND ATHIRAH!!!! (belated..hehe)

till then!

update of the update...

the answer is JUNE 30th and it's final!! great..so i have another week of break..i shall truly cherish this whole week before i start studying again after a loooooooong......break..not that long actually..lol..but if this goes on, my brain's seriously gonna malfunction..

i've got my timetable..i'm so glad and i thank God the time slots are just nice..no transport problem..not really clashing with my sister's timetable..phew..and it's pretty relaxing for a start..and i have no class on fridays!! hehe..IF and ONLY IF there are no changes..

so i guess..that's all i have to say for now..

p/s. oh yeah, watched get smart last night..nothing much about the storyline but it's really funny..lol..next 2 movies on my list are prom night and the happening.. =)

an update...!!!

well well well..since some of you miss my updates so much..so here i am..a simple post..especially to irene and caryn..lol..

let's talk about...college..yes, college..finally went to register last friday..or i should say, to apply..submitted my application form and the guy told me to wait for their call for my offer letter and he said the course starts on the 23rd..i asked if it's 23rd july and he said no, june..

what!!??june??lol..shocked!! i thought it's a july intake..then suddenly i realised i only had a week left to rest and enjoy to the fullest..early july's the best time to start actually..yeah i know i had a lot of holiday compared to most of my friends..hardly anyone likes hearing my complain about starting my course a lil earlier..haha

ok lar, i can accept it..kinda had enough of holidays though..with the same routine every day..time for a change but i know this change would lead me to lots of stress.. so i called up the college about my offer letter yesterday evening since they didn't call me..the person in charge was away so they couldn't tell me anything about the letter and i asked again when's the intake..the lady said 30th june..what? 30th? oh good, i have another week..lol..but somehow the feeling was kinda half half.. not too happy not too sad..

not long later..they called me and said my letter was ready..so i asked again..when's it starting? a different lady this time and she said 23rd..hmmm..which is the right one??she's unsure why the other lady said 30th though..

as a conclusion..i still don't know when i'm starting..either 23rd or 30th..lol! will go there to register later and get a clear picture of everything..

so that's all for now...till then!

first step in Genting Highlands..

after....17 plus years of life..i've finally set foot in genting highlands for the very first time..shocking isn't it? everyone finds it surprising when i said i have not been to genting..not even once..maybe because my parents felt it's too expensive to go especially when we were young..hmm..so where shall i start?

WARNING : this is gonna be a....L....O.....N.....G.....LONG post...since it's my first time so got to jot down almost everything i can remember..it may be something u've seen lots of times but not for me..hehe
(click on the pictures for larger and clearer view)

the trip was great..fun..i went with my church friends, ben, edmund, chee foo and sue jane..how i love self organised trips despite how much i have to spend on my own but if only more friends could make it then it would be even more of a blast..so five of us went to kl on wednesday night by bus..reached there at about 11 something looking for the ktm station..lost one led the way..kinda lost but still we finally found our way..we waited for the train till past midnight only arrived..gosh..for the first time standing there during the midnight..lol..then we headed to caryn's place..nice place though..picture?kinda have it but nevermind, not posting it here..hehe

thursday morning, forcefully woke up early and got ready to leave..went to 1utama new wing by taxi and then went to genting by bus..so many people going to genting..can say 1 of the main tourists attraction in malaysia?yet it's only my first time..lol..then we went up to genting by skyway..nice..hehe

after hanging around for a while..we left our bags in the hotel lobby where they kept bags since our check in time was at 3pm..then we went for breakfast at burger king and to the theme park...wheee...!!no pictures cause i left my camera in the bag cause i was worried the camera would fly out in the middle of some rides.. ok, i remember the first few rides we took..

first the pirate ship cause we wanted something slow first as a warm up and since it was just after our meal..lol..then we went for corkscrew the roller coaster..and the excitement goes up higher to solero shot..solero shot was FUN!!scary but really syok..hehe..feels as though my heart and voicebox were left way up above..lol..but we waited in the line for almost an hour..

found a video someone recorded on the solero shot..quite funny..



he actually had guts to hold his camera..lol..

then it was time for something slow again so we went to dinosaur land..long queue as well but it's ok since it started raining and we were queueing under the shelter..not bad..but too bad, didn't snap any pictures..my dumbness for leaving my camera..i had pockets safe enough for it afterall..we went for more rides later till we had to check in..

back to the hotel lobby..get our bags and realised it's long before our turn to check in..about 200 over customers away i think..so we went food hunting in mc donalds this time..then hang around and time to check in again..
