my opinion on a certain race is getting lower and lower by the day...

hmm..i'm wondering if there is such thing as being more than a best friend, but not a steady boyfriend/girlfriend...

ganesh invited me to have lunch at his house for the deepavali celebration yesterday and i so wanted to go but i couldn't make it because i had to work. i've been celebrating deepavali with him along with cheng kiat, affryll and sometimes joon liang and edmund for the past 3 years and i really wanted to meet them because it's been so long since we last chatted. i hope they will come out tonight to yam cha...

besides that, 2 of my friends was having some relationship problems and they wanted me to listen to them. again, i wasn't able to attend to them because i was preoccupied. but i did call them back to make sure they are ok. i just wished there's more than 24 hours in a day. so little time yet so many things happening...

a little worried about huwi yin's headache...

wiyang seems to be pissed with my last post. but then again, it was funny lar...i remembered it too vividly. no hard feelings yeah?

i woke up today with a stiff neck! it was painful and i can't even turn my head to the left. but i felt funny and laughed at myself for that. maybe because it was my first time. heck i would even laugh at my friends if they can't turn their heads left also. it was torture! especially when i was driving and i need to look to my left. i had to turn my whole body to be able to look to the left because the pain was unbearable... argh!

eelin and eileen told me that i was supposed to hang my pillow under the morning sun and the whack my neck with it. even my mum asked me to do that. i never believed in superstitious stuff so i didn't really feel like trying. lay wei suggested using ameltz yokoyoko but i'm too lazy to buy it. save money lah...so in the end i left it like it is and looked right most of the time....

thank goodness the tutor decided to postpone the due date to pass up the computer programming assignment. if not, i'll be half dead now. so that means that i can have a few days to rest and catch up with my friends which i temporarily ignored. not that i did it on purpose but i had too much things to do that i couldn't find time to meet them. i knew edmund is having his one month holiday now and he was back in malacca for the past 2 weeks or so. it's been long since i last met him to talk and if he didn't come to my house to register his course online, i might not even have the chance to meet him.

recently i got to know a lot of penang people. i just realised two days ago that out of 23 person in my exhibition group, 7 of them are penangites! hmm...

wiyang recently posted about a company's representative calling his rented house to speak to mr. tan about some practical training opportunity. problem is, there are 3 mr. tan's (including himself) in his house which applied for practical training! anyway, he reminded me that he did the same thing before. the story goes like this. there's this classmate of ours whose name is bong yi chung. we are used to calling him simply as bong or bong chai or ah bong because he is the only one with that surname in our class. one day, wiyang called his house to look for him. i was beside him along with sin yi when he called. bong answered the phone and wiyang promptly asked to speak to bong. bong thought someone wanted to speak to his dad instead and proceeded to call his dad. at the same time, i sensed something was amiss and told wiyang that there are a lot of bongs in the house. wiyang realised his mistake but it was too late. we were already laughing our pants off when wiyang tried to save the situation by talking to thin air. in the end he decided to hang up and call again...

ahh..finally found some time to blog again. i still have some assignments to worry about but i'll just put that off for a moment. i'm very tired now but very excited and happy! all thanks to my malaysian studies group project (exhibition on glass recycling). during the course of doing the project, i get to know 17 new friends! and most of them are girls because there's only a small number of us guys. i daresay that compared to other groups, we are the noisiest and the most bonded group. and our exhibition was not bad either. although we have a test at night most of us still came to the booth and look after it. after the exhibition, we took a lot of photos together! and after the test at night, we continued our bonding by going yam-cha. we made a lot of noise there until other customers also looked at us one kind. most of us laughed until our jaws was sore but everyone enjoyed themselves. i wish we could still come out like this again and hang out together!

i was supposed to blog this yesterday but i've been busy for the past 7 hours trying to partition my new 80 gigabyte hard drive and to clone my operating system. been trying so many different configurations but i still can't make it work. will try again later today i guess.

yesterday was my computer programming 2 lab test. i sucked at it. first, i wasted some precious time trying to make the stupid visual c++ program to work and run my code. i'm not familiar with the program though. out of 10 questions, i can only answer 5. the 5 questions that i answered was debugging questions. other questions required us to write a program. and it was an OPEN BOOK test!

another test coming on monday, and i haven't studied for it...sigh...

i've been getting weirder and weirder dreams every night. although i can't remember all of them, i knew they are weird. this morning i woke up with another weird dream. it freaked me out! as usual i'll not post it up here because it's private! maybe because i was stressed. what with the loads of assignments and tests this coming week. i'm still wondering why MMU decides to offer Computer Programming 2 (C++) subject during the short trimester. it's way harder to understand than C, especially with all the Object Oriented Programming. some of my friends even dropped the subject half way thru because they just couldn't cope. and the tutors are inexperienced because they are fresh graduates! damn. there goes my interests for the subject.

heck i can't even find the time to go watch infernal affairs 2 at the cinemas.

3 birthdays in a row! wiyang turned 21 (finally!) on the 8th, chin chin turned 19 on the 9th and ganesh turned 21 also on the 10th. i called them all on their birthdays at around 12am malaysian time and it seems wiyang refused to follow the malaysian time because he can be 20 years old for another 6 hours in germany. come on lah..old means old lah... what difference does 6 hours make? hehe...time sure flies. when i was on the phone with him, we talked about the old days yet again. don't know why, we seem to enjoy walking down memory lane everytime we talk. he told me that i've changed a lot since we form 5. probably true, because i was still so childish back then.

didn't blog for a few days because i was busy doing my computer programming assignment which was due yesterday. slept early in the morning for a few days which caused pimples to break out. not that i bother much because i wasn't in the mood to attract any girls in the mean time. *grins* anyway, i felt a little bit guilty because i think i didn't contribute much to the assignment. we were supposed to write a program but my partner did all the coding himself and i was only doing a little bit of paperwork. i wasn't good in programming as he is and i couldn't understand what he wrote. i felt even more guilty when we were supposed to state what we contributed to the assignment and he actually asked me to state that i did some coding as well because he was afraid that i would get low marks. i wished i did more.

felt happy to meet fong fang because i haven't seen her since she went to utar to study. :)

PART 1
i'm tired of people saying i'm thin because i don't eat. it's not like i want to be thin. i just don't seem to grow fat no matter how much i eat. and being thin is not so enjoyable. i'm having a lot of trouble trying to buy clothes that look nice on me. i can't even wear a long sleeved t-shirt. maybe i got some worms in my stomach. or maybe it's that h.pylori bug. i don't know.


PART 2
i'm tired of people thinking that i'm some kind of genius who can do very well in exam even without studying. everytime i tell someone that i don't know how to do a paper in the exam, they would give me a kind of sarcastic look and say that they don't believe it. sometimes it really frustrates me when i tell someone that i failed my my papers and they just refused to believe until i show them the proof.


PART 3
i'm tired of people misunderstanding that i'm interested in a girl just because i'm close to them or i merely talked to them. i mean, come on! why are there so many narrow minded people around me? i don't deny that i get along with girls more than i can get along with guys, but that doesn't mean that i like to flirt around!

i've been through that situation before. someone i'm close to suddenly became so distant just because some people say things that were unpleasant. even talking to her openly is such a hard thing to do. in the end, it came to a stage where we don't talk to each other anymore. i really wished i could still talk to her but it wasn't to be. that is why i made a point not to spread or start a rumour about these kind of situations. some people might lose a nice friend of the opposite sex...

i was half way through my beauty afternoon nap last tuesday when the phone rang and woke me up. i was cursing silently before i realised it was jun kee (aka rufffey girl to wiyang. explanation on this will be posted later). she was the first person to comfort me after i confronted "someone" and i was really thankful for that although she so happened to call me at that time. anyway, i answered the phone hurriedly (no more cursing, hehe.. actually i appreciate every call from anybody because not many people will ring me up just to chat and that is why i didn't silent my phone even while sleeping) and she asked me whether i wanted any tickets to watch a mini concert by S.H.E. to be held at Pay Fong Middle School, Melaka on wednesday night. straight away i became alert and answered "hell yeah!". well, they are the artistes that i most wanted to meet more than any other! i'm not really that crazy about them but i just wanted to see them in real life. too bad only selina and hebe are coming. i wished ella could come too! anyway, she told me she had extra tickets and i can even bring 2 persons along to accompany me. i'm so thankful to her! she really made my day in more times than once. and i only knew her for barely a year! felt so happy to have her as a friend.

fast forward to wednesday, i can't wait till night comes! i have to endure 5 hours of class today which starts at 9am (supposedly 8am start but i skipped the 1st hour) and ends at 6pm with breaks in between classes. after taking my dinner idrove to pay fong with lay wei, chin chin and ching yin as my escorts. hehe... we reached there about 6.30pm. the concert was supposed to start at 8pm but it was already jam packed with people (ah bengs, ah lians and even aunties!) lining up to get into the hall. it was half full when i got in but in a matter of minutes it was packed to the max. people started pushing and shoving and sweating and the concert began at around 8.10pm. most of them started screaming at the sight of them but some sang along them. they only sang 3 songs and repeated the 1st song for an encore. in between the songs they also played some games with the audience with prizes such as S.H.E. journals, lollypops and a handphone! i brought my digicam there with hopes of taking some nice pictures up close, but i didn't manage to take even a near perfect still photo because the lighting caused the pictures to be overexposed or it will be blurred from shaking (no thanks to all the pushing and shoving!). in the end i decided to take video instead and it came out ok although a bit far.

after the singing, those with original cds or cassettes can line up to get on stage to get a special S.H.E. ink-stamp on their cd cases or cassette inlays. i haven't bought their cd yet so i didn't bother to stay at first. same goes for my 3 escorts. but then after taking a leak we suddenly felt the urge to join the crowd as well and proceeded to buy the cd and queing up to get the ink-stamp. finally got on the stage after a second round of pushing and shoving and i was looking at selina, hoping she would lookup, but she was too busy stamping. *sigh* when i wanted to look at hebe, the security guys already shoved me off the stage. there goes my chance to oogle at my favourite S.H.E. member. damn! by the way, a security personel gave ching yin his identification tag (with a picture of S.H.E.) as a souvenir. *envy* went eating after that and then met up with eileen, eelin and lai ching for a short yam-cha session. felt a bit guilty because i promised i would help them to decorate the tables for anime exhibition tomorrow. sorry ya...
