HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEK SUAN!

it's my pet-sis' birthday today! she is an adult now, but her physical appearance is somewhat deceiving..hehe. anyway, i wish her all the best in her future undertakings!

it's the 6th day of lunar new year today. for some reasons, i don't feel excited for lunar new years anymore. nor that i look forward for next year's. no offence to those who can't celebrate it with their families, but it just doesn't appeal to me anymore (other than the ang pow money, which seems to decrease this year). perhaps i'm already a young adult. or that i'm not really that close to my other relatives. or because my sis and brothers are not here for reunion dinner. to me, every year it's the same routine.

the first day of new year, it's the usual houses to visit. at night, we have a form 6 classmates gathering at foong hsian's house. and i thought this was supposed to be the happiest moment for me this new year. it's been quite some time since i last saw some of them anyway. boy i was so wrong. not many of them turned up. and those who came had to leave early. and the mood was...i don't know how to describe. everyone seems to be worried about assignments and the looming exams. the best part only came later at chee hoe's house. kam fei, soon chern and a few others gambled while me and foong hsian watched.

the second day was ok. went to visit yien sien's house with edmund and then the 3 of us went to watch the last samurai. after that me and edmund visited sin yi. later we went to bee yoke house and were surprised to find chi chau, liu chui and fong yin there. kinda happy to see them because it's hard to see them around in melaka. they've changed a lot too. though it's only a short time but it's better than nothing.

the 3rd and 4th day was spent at my grandma's house at bukit tinggi, pahang. nothing much happened there and the rest of the days.

suddenly my flair of wrinting seems to deteriorate over time. i wonder why...

easiest question!

maybe i was too self centered. i failed to appreciate that person as a friend and i hated myself for treating him like that. or maybe i was too paranoid. of what? i don't even know. it's just that weird and awful feeling. and a litlle bit of guilt...

i've always hated my machine architecture class on friday. i have to drive 15 minutes all the way to campus for a mere 1 hour class. but today it was different. i was glad that i attended it. i wished it lasted longer...

bored of studying for my midterm test, i created a quiz about myself at friendtest.com and asked a couple of friends to take the quiz. after a while, the results started coming in and some of them really surprised me. admittedly, the questions are quite tough being a secretive person that i am. i'm not really disappointed with the results but more of feeling funny at some of the answers. then there was a mysterious person who took the test and only managed to get one question correct. ironically, the question was the one where most of those who took the test got wrong. hmm..guessed that someone tried to get a zero and chose all the wrong answers. anyway, i will publish the real answers here after i close the quiz. the scores don't matter much to me so i won't bother posting it here. =P

wiyang gave me a call all the way from germany just now and we had a nice chat. it's been quite sometime since i talked to him, either on the phone or online. too bad we couldn't chat longer because i was supposed to be at the campus for a discussion (which in the end came to a dead end). i still have some topics to talk to him about, with the occasional teasing. i wonder when is the next time we can talk like there's no tomorrow...add edmund into the picture and i'm damn sure it would be interesting!

into the 13th day of coughing...

did something impulsively today. just thought i'll post it here as a reminder not to do it again. *regrets*

anyway, i'm still coughing like mad...couldn't even have a good night sleep.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2004!

i won't be making any resolutions this year as i know i won't keep it!

so how do i celebrate the first day of 2004? by getting sick.

mee nyuk came down from seremban to celebrate with me and we went to a pub together with some friends to countdown. i don't really celebrate the new year every year because i was always the one to drive and i never got to drink beer! (not that i like to drink though). so after getting all sweaty after the countdown, i gave a call to a few of my friends to wish them a happy new year. by then i was feeling a bit ill and true enough, i woke up this morning with fever, cough and a sore throat. i even joked about contracting the deadly SARS disease because i was in close contact with yoke theng and li wei who just came back from taiwan. touch wood!

so 2003 came and went. during the past year, i've changed a lot and i know that. maybe for the better, or maybe worst. i've gained new experiences, new friends and maybe a few enemies. i got closer to certain people around me and i get to see some people's true faces. i learned to cherish and appreciate some people. acquired 2 god-sisters (gek suan and huwi yin) who never fail to make me smile. been hurt so deep like never before. and i seem to be talking more to my siblings now. and i even rectified some of my known weaknesses! hmm what else? can't possibly remember all..so i'm looking for a great year ahead!
