They were already at home in JB. It was the first time my cousin brother stayed in my house after his last visit 10 years + ago. They came here by plane as my aunt has to give a talk about Amway. She is doing very successful in this business but my dad is the opposite, sigh. Their flight had landed at 10am on Sunday and I was doing last minute room cleaning at that time. Trying to provide them with 5 stars liked hotel or maybe higher stars as this hotel has teddy bears, more pillows, a queen and single bed and English Rose fragrance. It smells like you are sleeping in Lovely Lace!

My aunt called my dad at around 930pm saying that they were on their way to my house. At 10pm, my cousin brother text me saying (conversation being paraphrased):-

X: Waiting for me?

S: Yala! Where are you huh? Lost your way? Lol.

X: We are staying at a hotel near KLIA, sorry.

S: Oh? So you mean you are not coming over?

X: Yah, sorry.

S: Nevermind, since you are leaving the next day, staying near KLIA is much more convenient because it took around 2-3 hours to the airport from my house. *smiley*

X: But I know you miss me and I miss you too! I persuaded my mum to stay at your house but she doesn’t want.

S: Hahaha, it is okay. We meet in our dreams! Haha.

X: *showing some disappointed expression*

Before his last message to me, I told my parents that they had decided to stay in a hotel near KLIA. My dad was confused, “Eh? San gu just called me telling me she is on the way?” Mum then said, “Well, it is so late already, maybe their flight is in the morning tomorrow.” My mum then locked the main gate prepared to go to bed as school holiday is over. My dad wanted to call her sister to reconfirm, but he was munching something in his mouth. As I wanted to reply my cousin brother, guess what?!

A car parked in front of my house. I thought it was my brother’s friend so I did not bother. But when I heard the car doors were slammed 4-5 times, I peeped to see who they were. OMG! I saw my cousin brother! Shytttt… My parents were still chilling in the living room watching “Beautiful Cooking”. I told them, “Hey, it’s them. He lied to me!!” I gave my cousin brother a whack on the shoulder *piak* when he came in. He made me so embarrass! My mum asked, “Eh? I thought you said you decided to stay at a hotel near KLIA?” My aunt was totally blurred with question marks all over her head. My cousin brother was smiling cutely there. So I had to say, “HE LIED TO ME!!” Grrrr… They were all laughing loudly and my mum told him, “Hey, this is not funny okay? We nearly move our things back to normal”. He laughed,“Really??” *duhhh… -.-*

I was chit chatting with my cousin sister on MSN at that time. Then, my cousin brother came into the room, so I told him, “our cousin sister, MJ”. He took over the conversation and fooled her. Till the end of the conversation, she still had no idea who she was talking to during that 2 hours conversation. He came over to my house to work as my “private secretary”, helping me to reply messages when some of my friends msn me at that time, but I had to apologise to them when he said something stupart, lol.

While chatting with MJ, she suddenly told me that grandmother is not feeling well as she has stomach pain. Sigh, I hope she is fine as she is staying alone. After that, my stupid cousin brother frightened me, shyt him… -.-

Just now, he blackmailed me. He said he has my sleeping photos! I don’t quite believe it, hahaha. I believe he is a very bermoral typed of person; hopefully he doesn’t disappoint me,

My aunt on the other hand, taught me how to do this Amway business as my dad has some down lines in Singapore but he doesn’t care. So she hopes I can takeover after my studies. She also demos some Artistry facial products where those products were actually for my elder brother but he did not use. He will only use them when he wants to tackle a girl… So she taught me how to apply them.

Although this cousin bro of mine did a lot of childish acts in less than 12 hours in my house, he is actually a very mature person. He gave me a lot of valuable opinions and creative ideas for my assignments. This is what a guy should be! My elder brother should act like him, MATURE! I need a knowledgeable elder brother who can teach me and make me look up at him! Not looking up at his transformers!

Well, actually my cousin brother came here is to be his mum’s personal assistant. Carrying all her luggage and finding some stuff his mother commanded him, hahaha. I am glad that he said he likes and felt comfortable staying here. He is my closest and now my favourite cousin brother. Sorry Sherman Lee, you have to be my number 2 favourite cousin brother now, Hahaha.

It is finally over! It’s already a month and my first lesson starts tomorrow in the afternoon at 2pm. However, I haven’t decided on whether to attend because I don’t miss Mr. Paul! Argh… why is Mr. Paul teaching us again? I am bored of listening to his “IT’S FOR YOU TO FIND OUT…” Although most of us giggled when he said that during our previous subject he had taught us, but speaking the same phrase almost in every lesson, goshhh… what the hell?!?! I hope he creates another phrase this time. Something like, “I WILL FIND IT OUT FOR YOU…” maybe??? (Well, that will not happen…)

Alright, while waiting for my friends to reply my question regarding on whether they are going for Paul’s lecture tomorrow, let me recall what I did during my sem break. Well, it is basically planting ‘mushrooms’ at home most of the time. My life is really boring, sigh…

Facebook is my best friend during the holiday. I spent most of my time with it, playing some childish games my babi friend said, hahaha! Currently, I am into Restaurant City. Pet Society is already out of my gaming list. I think ‘my pet’ Buddy is dying of hunger and poo poo around the house. I also browsed through many of my friends’ photos which I didn’t have time to see them before my holiday. I only visit Friendster when I want to blog. Besides, I also found out many of my old friends are promoting their blogs through Friendster or msn. This helps me to kill time…

The meaningful stuff I did during the break was helping out for Orientation May Intake on 25th and 26ht. There are a lot of changes in PD block, more classrooms and the cafeteria serves a variety of food. But that has nothing to do with me, hahaha! Besides that, I packed all my notes on the last week of May and helped my mum to wipe all the dust and dirt on the cabinets and doors. An hour after finishing those wiping, my hands went itchy for touching the liquid, she now owe me a bottle of hand lotion, LOL! Well, she actually bought a hand lotion even before I did the wiping and I love it very much because of the fragrance.

On mid-May, I went out with my primary to high school buddy to Times Square for SHOPPING! We bought a lot of clothes and shorts. But I think I am more giler as I didn’t go shopping since last year December. We were there for nearly 4 hours and there were many shops we haven’t visited yet but we gotta go to avoid the rush hour. This buddy of mine is a big fan of David Beckham when she was in form 1. That time, I was a big fan of Westlife as I don’t watch football. Until now, I am so surprise that she is still a Beckham die-hard-fan. She still thinks he is good looking, Hahaha.

I didn’t change any hairstyles during this semester break, still keeping to my straight and bang hairstyle. I used to change different hairstyles during a semester break, Sharz reminded me of that when he asked me on msn, “So, what hairstyle are you going to change this time?” Deng, so damn sarcastic lah he, hahaha. I was a curly hair girl, then straight hair then bangs, finally the most shocking hairstyle was cut short my hair. I am keeping my hair long now. Wondering are there any shampoos or supplements that help to grow hair faster without hair extension? Although I didn’t change my hairstyle this time, but I changed my glasses! The frame is bigger and it is black in colour. My mum changes hers too - a red semi-frame glasses, she looks so young and trendy now! Lol. She is trying to hide her age bah!

Furthermore, I spared an hour to work out everyday because I know I will gain weight when I am at home. My mum is very scared of us getting hungry. Recently, she is learning to make Garlic bread, so we had garlic bread for breakfast the past 3 days and she will asked our opinions like which day is more delicious. For the past 3 days, my mouth smells garlic, it is so difficult to get rid of the smell. But I really love garlic bread! I also helped my mum to make pineapple cookies. We used a wooden long spoon to beat the butter and flour because my mum doesn’t trust the machine as she spoiled 2 of them. We took turn to beat the butter and my left arm was sore after beating for half an hour, lol.

I also watched American dramas like 90210 and Knight Rider. TVB dramas alone are not enough to kill my time, lol. You know what, I even read novels last two days! I finished 2 novels in 2 days! That was because the novels that I bought recently are interesting. It is the Princess Diaries series, around 260-290 pages for each series. I bought series 7 -9 but I couldn’t finish series 9 today as I slept at 4am to finish series 8 this morning. So, I felt very tired the whole day even though I slept until 11am.

Because of my tiredness, I lost my appetite and don’t feel like opening my mouth and talk. My mum was so excited talking about her new spectacles, I was like a zombie, “ohh… hehe…” Wait, zombie doesn’t talk and smile! I ate biscuits for brunch and tofu, fish, mango and ice cream for dinner. The ice cream puts a smile on my face, I really freaking love ice cream! My mum bought a new flavor called the… Fruity Totttt…ty? Okay, whatever fruit is that, it tastes like fruit cake from King’s ice cream. There are small fruits buried with vanilla ice cream and when you put inside your mouth, Goshhhh! The first word I said was “Walaoweih! Nice!” My mum seeing my exaggerated expression, she can’t help but open the freezer and scoop a cup. Yes, i know I make my mum fat, haha.

A bizarre happening during my holiday was somebody I didn’t communicate before during school years actually asked me out. However, I turned down the invitation because I think it was awkward going out with somebody you don’t really know and what topic to talk to.

I also did illegal activity during my holiday which was downloading songs, hehe. I downloaded Fish Leong, Daughtry, Beyonce, LeeHom, David Cook, David Archuleta and etc. Yesterday, I downloaded Kris Allen’s “No Boundaries” and I think that song is more suitable for ladies because it was mostly in high notes. I am not anti Kris Allen okay, although he beats my Adam Lambert, Hahaha.

And oh! I also did my Final Year Project during the holiday but not much, I am so gonna die when I meet my supervisor. I have this lazy disease when it comes to FYP. Sigh…

Before I end this post, I have decided to go for Paul’s class after being persuaded by Sutanium that how important is Paul’s lesson gonna be. Since there is UTAR bus to pick me up and send me back to the LRT station, that’s fine, I will go because I don’t want to grow ‘mushrooms’ anymore!! So, see you all tomorrow in the afternoon!

Yesterday was my campus May intake orientation and it was also my second time helping out for this event. I was involved in ushering the students and VIPs. Previously, my jobs were to usher the VIPs and providing information if any. This time there is no information counter and if there is, I wish I am not involved. I don’t want to get another whack by the parents because my friend and I were not brief on what information etc. We had to do our own homework last minute. Damn pissed loh that time! Okay, lets not talk about previously, lets talk about THIS TIME!

Yesterday was pretty fun to be honest; maybe I knew the committees and also knew what to do after previous experience. Moreover, this time was at PD block which is bigger and everything happens at the ground floor. I don’t have to climb up and down the stairs until my shoes almost koyak like before, lol! Besides, I don’t feel bored as there were a lot of students. I heard that there were around 800+ foundation and degree students altogether. Most of them were foundation students. The registration starts at 830am. But many freshmen had already started lining up at 730am. I was supposed to lead the degree students into the hall after their registration. However, kawan baik aku woke up late, so the chairman told me to takeover her job as there were not many degree students. The situation started to go chaos by 8am. The sky was very dark and showing signs that it is going to rain. So we had to go for Plan B. During the rehearsal, the chairman briefed us with 3 plans: Plan A is as usual, Plan B is when it is raining and Plan C is when there is no electricity.

Because I was standing at the entrance, so I told the chairman to prepare for Plan B. He looked at the sky and talked through his walkie-talkie to inform the other committees to prepare for Plan B as it is going to rain. One of the girls from the walkie-talkie shouted so loud, “HAR!!” Lol…

At around 810am, we had to let the students into the hall before they get wet outside. When the freshies walked in, they kept looking at the signs we had pasted for Plan A and I am like a tape recorder, “Please have a seat inside first, please have a seat inside first, please have a seat inside first…” There were many parents as well, so we also set up a parents’ area for them to wait for their children as they cannot follow their children into the hall and registration. Because of last minute changes, one female big shot and one lady who is in-charged for Mass Call helped to assist the freshmen as well.

By 930am, most of the freshmen were already inside the hall. We prepared another room as well if the hall is overloaded. After that time, we got to sit down and chit-chat. The campus is kindda hot as the air-con is not cold enough to cool so many people. Therefore, there were many stand fans at the corner.

At 130pm, we had to usher the freshmen to their respective rooms for a briefing from the Head of Departments (HOD). My job was to usher the degree students. When I lead some of them into the room, I peeped inside the room and guess what! I saw my project supervisor! I was like “Oh shyt… Please don’t see me.” Thus, I switched places with my friends. The consequence of not finishing my chapters earlier… hehe ^^.

When everything settled, our next task was at 330pm – Mass Call. From there, we had to usher the degree students into the hall. While waiting, we started to make friends with other helpers and ushers by chit chatting outside the degree HOD briefing room. There were eight of us fooling around outside as we do not want to go inside and listen to the briefing. So I made friends with these two very funny friends, a girl and a boy. They said they were buddies by hitting their own chest. They were always teasing each other in a funny way.

At the beginning, I thought I don’t have to put on my blazer because I am not ushering the VIPs but I did bring along just in case. So when it was about 330pm, the chairman asked the vice in front of me, “Do you still need more VIP ushers? She is very good at it as she experienced before…” (swt -.-lll) The vice then said, “Okay”. I dragged along my friend who ushered the VIPs with me previously and quickly put on our blazers and rushed to the VIP room to check what drink we were going to serve them. However, the two experience ones were given the task to usher the VIPs into the room and not serving them this time. While the two friends inside who were new in it were so nervous like how we felt previously. They were pushing each other to ask the VIPs what they want to drink, lol. Furthermore, I think the committee who was involved in ushering the VIPs did not do a good job. She dare not tell the big shots to wait inside the room and I even heard her talking to herself in mandarin when all the VIPs were standing outside of the room talking, “Aiyo, zhen me ban ar (How ar)? Guan ta men (let them be) lah.” Then she walked away. She also didn’t brief the two friends inside the room on how to serve the VIPs and what to do. Instead, do you know what she said? She said “don’t treat them like handicaps; they will pour the coffee and tea themselves.” In the end, we had to teach our two friends. What a shame, name sake… Vivi, if you are reading this, well, you did a great job by briefing Teng and I, =D.

When the president of UTAR arrived, all of us had to usher the VIPs into the hall. After that, there were some of us went into the VIP room and sip some coffee, tea or yin yong, lol. Our vice then came in and said any three of us had to go inside the hall because there were only two people ushering the VIPs. All of them were looking at the three of us who were wearing blazers and also good friends. However, two of my friends had already poured themselves a cup of coffee and yin yong. Thus, the vice gave them 5 minutes to drink their beverages. The vice was very polite to us, instead, according to my friend, another committee who was in-charged of registration was teasing my two friends for drinking so slow. Hello! You are supposed to go inside; we are only helpers, tak ada pangkat pun, &%#^@$^! Well, I dislike her the first time I see her…

After the big shots had left, we were free again. So we started taking pictures, snap, snap, snap…! =D When we were about to leave, the chairman suddenly stopped us. He needed our help to collect the 800+ forms from the freshmen as most of the helpers had left.

Teng > Yean > I

Many parents were outside of the room waiting for their children. Some parents were so pitiful. They waited at the campus the whole day! My gawdd… They slept at the parents’ area, some made friends with another aunty, some fathers read newspapers etc.

I took the train home after that and when I got inside the car, I quickly took off my heels. When I reached home, I dipped my feet into warm water, syoik betul. After sitting down on the sofa, I don’t feel like moving anymore… I supposed to sleep early that day, before 12am, however, my friend who online around 11pm something and said I ffk him, he felt so disappointed, Hahahahaha… He actually sent me a FB message that morning while waiting for his transit back home that where will he go after that. Unfortunately, I was at the campus the whole day, so I only saw his message at 8pm. Sorry dude… Hahaha.

I enjoyed this orientation very much because I get to meet so many new people and knowing that two buddies! *hit chest*

I… I can’t believe that Kris Allen was crowned the next American Idol instead of Adam Lambert. What a disappointing result for me, I wonder what happen to the American voters. I knew the result through Hitz.fm in the afternoon. If not because it was raining heavily and I was forced to turn off my computer, I am still joyfully, excitedly, guarantee and assure that Adam will be the winner.

When Natalie, the deejay of Hitz.fm announced that Kris Allen was the winner, my mouth was wide open and turned on the volume louder even though my younger brother was taking a nap next room. I was not prepared to receive that news so I continued listening as Natalie said they have a short interview with Paula Abdul and also Adam Lambert.

After 2 songs, Natalie reconfirmed me that “Adam Lambert is the runner’s up for American Idol Season 8”. I looked at my radio and shouted, “WHAT?!? This is sark!” Although, Adam wasn’t showing any sign of disappointment but boy oh boy, I felt disappointed for you. One of the hitz.fm crew who was at the event asked Adam to say a few words to Malaysia, he said “I love you”. LOL.

Why do I think Adam should be the winner instead of Kris? Here are my reasons: Adam has the looks to be an idol – Elvis Presley the second, he has his own identity such as his eyeliner, nail polish and scream. He looks great in whatever he wears especially black suit and leather outfit. Besides being a singer, he can also be a model. He always make the crowd stood on their feet after his performances and yet he still lost, maybe he should try capturing their hearts instead of their feet like Kris. Furthermore, Simon Cowell said that his vote is on Adam to be the next American Idol during the Oprah Show. Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara all gave him positive comments during the final showdown. Simon as well.

However, no offence to Kris Allen’s fans, He is lucky to have so many people voting for him. Kris is a nice and humble person. He is an underdog in the competition. I didn’t expect him to reach even the top 4 but I should say, his first song during the final showdown was perfect! I just hope when he records his new single – ‘There’s no boundaries’, he won’t break his voice.

Here are some brief information about Kris Allen (tv.popcrunch.com): Full name Kristopher Neil Allen. He was born on June 21, 1985 in Jacksonville, Arkansas. Kris played viola in his high school orchestra, including winning a spot in his state’s all-state orchestra. He learned to play the guitar when he was 13 and also plays piano and ukulele. Kris produced an album “Brand New Shoes” with college friends and band mates in 2007. A religious belief as a Christian and a worship leader at New Life Church in Arkansas and the Chi Alpha campus ministry at the University of Central Arkansas. Besides, Kris has done missionary work in Burma, Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, Spain and Thailand. He has married his high school girlfriend, Katy O’Connell on September 26, 2008 (Aw, he is married, wow ~).

Brief information about Adam Lambert (top40.about.com): Adam Lambert was born on January 29, 1982. His family moved to California from Indiana when he was one year old, and he grew up in San Diego, California. Adam had extensive involvement in theater, band, and choir throughout his school years. He began acting on the stage as a child. Adam was the understudy for the part of Fiyero in a touring company of the musical Wicked as well as appearing in a production of the musical The Ten Commandments starring Val Kilmer. He performs regularly at the Zodiac Show and the Upright Cabaret.

Adam auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol singing Queen’s classic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” He was criticized for being theatrical by Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi, but he advanced to the Hollywood round despite the complaints. There, he performed a stunning version of Cher’s “Believe,” and he has been a favorite to win the competition since that point.

The only reason that Adam lost might be people couldn’t accept that he is gay, show an unhealthy image to the younger generation and not a good role model. Kris on the other hand is like a boy next door. Below are their photos:- (TOP: Kris Allen, winner of American Idol (BELOW: Adam Lambert, my American Idol =D)

My elder brother ended his 6 months relationship with his girlfriend last month. None of us in the family knew about it but we did feel suspicious. My mum, younger brother and I started to discuss about this matter when my elder brother was at work.

I asked my mum, “How come ah goh didn’t talk on the phone at night already? Credit die? Or didn’t pay his phone bill again?” Mum said, “I dont know, most probably didn’t pay his phone bill. The bill is still on top of the cabinet.” Mum then questioned my lil brother who was also his ‘roomate,’ “Did ah goh talk on the phone nowadays?” Lil brother then gave us some juicy news that the girl called him more often these few nights. My elder brother however, always the one who ended the conversation after a few minutes. Telling her that he is very tired and wants to sleep now where he is actually lying. After he put down the phone, he took out his PSP and play.

My mum then added, when he fetch my elder brother from the LRT station at night, the girl called again and he scolded her, “Why do you always call me when i am in the car?” Don’t you feel the girl is so innocent? hmmm…

Last few days, my mum and i kept guessing, is he still in a relationship or back to single life? All of us dare not ask him, well to be exact, he came home very late. Most of us were in bed by the time. My mum can’t take it anymore so she checked his wallet. The picture of him and her is NOT THERE! It shows a bad sign… My mum was so excited that she found some new information and told me immediately when i woke up. My mum is so funny and cute sometimes, lol.

When we were about to conclude that my brother broke off with her, my mum came into the study room whispering to me again. “I think he is still with her, just now that phone call i think it’s from her…” I looked at my mum, seeing her expression with full of doubt, so i suggested, “Why not you go and ask him now. It will clear all the question marks surrounding your head, good idea right?” My mum laughed and tickled me…

She did accept my suggestion. The next day, she asked him, “Are you still with your girlfriend? How come you didnt talk on the phone for many many nights already?” My elder brother then said, “Fen liao loh! (broke off already loh).” My mum, “HUH?!!?!? WHY?? She has another boyfriend?” Bro, “Nolah, i dont like her kept calling me and check me. So annoying. Last time she called me at night, now she called me when i am working. Said wanna chat,  she is very boring…” My brother also said that he told her that he is at work and couldnt chat with her, she got mad. My brother has to work from Monday to Saturday, 10am to 11pm, depends on his work load.  Earliest, 9pm he will reach home. So the only day he could have a good rest is Sunday but he has to spend the whole day with her. So, my brother said he is very tired of it and she is not the one he is looking for.

The girl on the other hand, still continue calling him even though they broke off, the girl said she will change her attitude and asked my bro to give her another chance, my bro said, “NO! I dont want.” My elder brother is usually very polite to girls and tries to control his foul words when talking to girls. So i was surprised that he treated his girlfriend so harsh and merciless. Maybe he is really tired of her behaviour and meeting her every night after work.

Well, it seems that calling your partner too often is not a good thing and call less is not good either. So, call or don’t call?? @@ For me, if i have a boyfriend,  i don’t think i will call and check his whereabouts because i dont like it too. Well, it is really hard for me to comment about relationship stuff cause i havent experience it yet. My elder bro and his ex are still friends, they still chat with each other on msn, maybe they are only meant to be friends. I only met the girl twice and she is a silent typed of person to me. I can’t believe a girl actually asked my brother to give her a second chance, seems that my bro attracts girls as well, hahahaha! I always think that girls will only run away from him because he is afraid to hurt others feelings.

So, how to maintain a relationship then? MY answer is “It is fated…”

This happens 2 days ago…

On that day, a girl was happily watching Astro Star Quest 2009 at 130am. She even sang along with the contestants as there were lyrics below the screen. After that, she was thirsty so she went into the kitchen wanted to drink a cup of water. Before she could get a cup, she nearly stepped onto a cockroach as she did not turn on the kitchen light. The girl quickly ran out from the kitchen, looking at the kitchen floor from far and does not know what to do. The cockroach had already hid under the oven when it saw her coming into the kitchen.

The day before, she already saw the cockroach crawling from the kitchen to the dining area. She quickly took a newspaper and passed it to her elder brother and pointed at the cockroach. However, she did not know that her elder brother was also afraid of it! He walked towards the cockroach and threw the newspaper, the cockroach ran away and crawled to the guest room. Geez, the girl was so disappointed with her brother who looks so brown and manly, but actually threw the newspaper and told her to “Forget about it…” -.-

The next day, she told her mother that she saw the cockroach crawled towards the guest area. Her mum then asked her, “Did you hit it?” She said, “I passed the newspaper to Ah goh, but i didn’t expect him to be afraid of cockroach as well, so it ran away.” Her mum then said, “Stupid boy…”

After she was frighten by the cockroach at the kitchen looking hopelessly, she told her younger brother who was playing online game. “Neng, got cockroach… I don’t know where it went already…” Her younger brother quickly stood up, turned on the kitchen light and checked the kitchen. “Where did you saw it?” The girl pointed at the oven. He kneel down to check the cabinet and the oven. However, no sign of that cockroach. The kitchen light suddenly blink and frighten the 2 siblings who were prepared to fight against the cockroach. Well, to be exact, her younger brother is prepared.

After checking every corner of the kitchen and still no sign of the cockroach, she continued watching ATQ and placed a water bottle, Shieldtox and newspaper beside her. Her younger brother continued with his online game.

The programme ended at 3am, she was expecting the cockroach to crawl out from the kitchen but it didnt. As she was about to put the Shieldtox away, she checked the kitchen again and screamed! The cockroach was on its way out, she quickly threw the Shieldtox to her younger brother. Her brother then spray towards the ugly creature. The creature was still alive and it crawled towards the plastic bag on the floor with sweet potatoes inside their dad had bought. Her brother had to stop spraying and waited for it to crawl further out. When it crawled out, her younger brother used a newspaper and slammed it hardly, POMP! It was dead… She was so relief.

However, that was not the end. Her younger brother wanted to use the tissue to scoop it up but she suggested to use a broom and dustpan and flushed it down the toilet bowl. When she was about to get the broom at the kitchen, it crawled out another one! She screamed again and ran down to the living room holding her dear live. Her toes were curled inwards, her hands were squeezing her shirt and her teeth was biting her lips. Her anti Cicakman brother picked up the newspaper again but this cockroach was playing hide and seek with him. It crawled inside the fridge then it came out, then it crawled in again and came out.

Her younger brother patiently waited for it to crawled out further and sent it to hell instantly. While waiting, the girl suddenly screamed again and frightened her brother. “Why? Another one?” The girl said, “No, no, no. Mental unstable, i felt something crawled on my feet, heheh.” The creature finally crawled out and her brother gave it another pancake slammed. Both creatures were flushed down and both siblings were sweating. They were making a lot of noise at 3am. Her elder brother just came back from “late night drink”.

After killing 2 cockroaches in 15 minutes, she does not need to be afraid to go into the kitchen and guest room. That morning, her mum had sense something amiss. She smelt dead cockroaches and Sheildtox. That was probably because her younger brother slammed the 2 cockroaches too hard and the ‘juice’ squeezed out, hahaha. Her mother indirectly said “Aiyo, this morning, the house smelt like dead cockroaches. I remembered you told me there was a cockroach at the guest area right?” She confidently told her mum, “Oh, yah. Neng killed 2 cockroaches in 15 minutes. Dont know why so many cockroaches suddenly.” Her mum, “No wonder…”

Suddenly, she felt her younger brother is so brave and started to change her view towards him. In her mind, she always thinks her younger bro is a little soft, not manly enough. But on that day, he was like a hero to her compared to her elder brother. No wonder his friends who came to our house and told my mum, her son is attracted by many girls in the school. She had a great laugh, “Are you sure?? Chan Neng? My brother? maybe because he is smart…” The girl also agrees with what her mum said a few years ago that her younger brother should be the eldest. So he can teached, showed a good example and motivate his elder brother and sister.

Before ending this post, the girl in the story who almost screamed to death by cockroaches is me, Machine. A machine gun without bullets.

May 4th is the Sutanium Day and also the last day of exam. This is a special day for Su Teng. So, why does it call Sutanium? This name was created by Giant Chen where she combined Teng’s name and it turned out to be Sutanium, lol.

We hang out from 12pm to 12am. So tired after that day as i woke up at 510am. Giant had organised an ice skating trip even before the start of our exam, so the only place for ice skating is Sunway Piramid. At first, i thought it was an EL outing where most of my course mates were going, however, it turned out to be only 7 girls. So the 7 of us crashed into Teng’s Avanza.

Before heading to Sunway, we stopped at PJ ss i don’t know for lunch. They called it “wai sek gai,” where there are long stretch of food stalls selling different type of foods.

While on our way, we were talking and laughing, I forgotten what we were laughing but basically, just some crappy conversation. Forgot after the day, hahaha. I only remembered i said we were going to Penang when we crossed a highway where the side of road built like a Penang bridge. *orang sakai =D*

When we were at Sunway, we all accompanied Ojisan to M.A.C as she wanted to buy a lipstick. The Malay promoter was so rude and unfriendly, seeing us “muka macam mui mui zhai, gao gao zhen erm hai bong chan.” After introducing many different shades of lip colours to Ojisan and none suits her, she told Ojisan, “Why not you choose yourself.” Then she left. Babi Utan, unprofessional promoter, makan jagung. Her make up macam hantu with dark blue eye shadow… Although i also gave up in helping Ojisan to choose, but she as a promoter can’t show that kind of attitude. Yes i know you look down on us because we are students, can’t students use M.A.C cosmetics? I think she doesn’t even have a degree thats why she is sitting in the shop, HAHAHAHA! *i am so evil*

After that, Teng, Ms Cookie, Giant and Jeannie went for ice skating. DB, Ojisan and I went window shopping and took photos around Sunway Piramid and even went outside Sunway Hotel where we saw some very ‘cun’ cars. After walking for three hours and they skate for three hours, we decided to take dinner at 6pm. While deciding on what to eat, we came across Delifrance having students’ meal only RM9.90 and unlimited refill of Root Beer. We sat there from 6pm to 8pm and only refilled once. We chat about our first day at Uni, some weird people we met at LRT and buses…etc. Our stomachs were so heavy and wanted to burst, but after we went to the wash room, it felt much better. lol.

Then, we went old wing, took some photos and left. While on our way back to new wing, Ojisan imitated the pose of the model on the wall, we didn’t managed to capture her pose because there were too many people.

When we were about to leave at around 9pm something, Teng had a suggestion - Have supper at PJ, Mega. A Hawaian style open air food stalls. The waiters were dressed in flowery shirt, a short and a hat. They even have this “bee bee” button where you pressed the button and the waiter will come and take your order. We were very curious about this little toy as we didn’t see it before. Most of us thought they are promoting this little machine, then Ojisan saw the button written - PRESS. She happily pressed three times and the waiter came over, “Yes?” Ojisan was dumb founded as she did not plan to order anything. In the end she ordered a cup of drink. Consequences of itchy hand, lol.

After supper, we left the place at around 1130pm. Teng sent every one of us home. I am the last passenger, so i reached home at 12am. My mum said, “WAH! Hang out until now?!” My lil bro said, “This is the first time ah jie went out until so late.” haha.

This song had stuck in DB and my mind after the outing, “my my my my poker face, my my my poker face…” We listened to that song by Lady Gaga 3 times at Sunway.

It supposed to be a good day since Friday has no class and I get to sleep, sleep and keep on sleeping after having restless nights rushing for assignments and projects for the past few weeks. But, when I opened my pen drive, it is seriously infected and can’t be open. Once I opened, my computer will be infected. Luckily the photos are fine as those files I already had a copy in another pen drive. Except for the one I edited in the lab – Research Methodology. So, I was forced to reformat my pen drive. It is so heart breaking to see my newly bought 4GB pen drive “down with such serious illness”, lol.

I am in a group with Ojisan for Research assignment, so I thought maybe she could send me a copy since she saved it too. Mana tau! Hers also corrupted, even serious than mine. The file is LOST! “Being kidnapped”, lol. Besides that, when I was editing and doing the pie charts, POP! Campus power cut. I thought I am the only one who didn’t save, and then I heard, “OMG” at the back of me, only to see my course mate didn’t save hers too. Do you know that feeling, UTAR? When it cuts, for a minute, I looked at Ojiisan and she looked back at me, then only we said “OMG, I didn’t save!” “OMG, maybe got recovery!” “I am gonna faint…!” “OMG, Oh MY GODDDDddD!” Well, maybe it is a punishment from UTAR for doing it last minute. =.=

Yesterday Friday, I got to sleep from 11pm – 10am. After that, I slept again from 130pm - 3pm. This is because the night before, I only slept for 3 hours. I didn’t get to sleep so soundly for months already, haaaa… I wish I can do that everyday. But I can’t, I need to start my revision for my semester exams which is starting NEXT SATURDAY! Oh, Chibi, Chibi… can I have tuition with you? I don’t know what I am doing in your Research class for the past 3 months. And why didn’t you give us some TIPSSSSS!! GrrRrr… So stingy oneeee…. *snub*

I thought Ojiisan and I had finished our Issue assignment and just had to print it. But when we were about to finalize, damn… we exceeded the page numbers. So we had to look at it, hopefully to delete some unnecessary quotes but it didn’t happen. All of them were important… to us. In the end, we had to stay up late again.

When I was editing the assignment at night, I changed from my old computer to my brother’s one. This is because this old one I am using now always lag. I suspect it is UTAR’s virus. Before that, it won’t lag, it will only shut down by itself. Well, this computer is also gila gila sikit, lol. While using my bro’s computer, I know my younger brother disliked it because he cannot play his online game. But Hello! Which is more important?! He frowns and gave me that “tikus” sound and purse his fat lips. I ignored him, but it made me felt uncomfortable. So when I sent to Ojiisan to read it, I got back to this old computer and scolded him, “Ass hole, you can used it now, noisy fat ass!” (My mouth is a lil smelly when you get to my nerves, heheh. ^^) So, he happily playing Counter Strike online with his textbook on his lap. Yeah, act hardworking in front of mum and dad. Do you think they are stupid?

When Ojiisan asked me to send the finalized assignment to her, my msn could not send it, not even hotmail because this computer is going to “certify” soon. So, I was forced to get back to bro’s computer. I told my younger bro that I need to use that computer. He told me to wait for a WHILE. I waited for more than 5 minutes and he still continue with his game. I thought his character died, I get to use. Mana tau, he restart! So I shouted, “How many times do you want to die only you allow me to use it? I need to send the file to my friend immediately!” He only stood up. Of course I am not done scolding. I also said “If the computer inside is normal, I don’t need to beg you and look at your face!” Well, actually I am indirectly telling my dad to change a new computer for me, hahaha!

After I printed the assignment and packed my bag. I saw dad applying Salonpase backache plaster. I saw him facing the mirror and applying it, so I offered to help him as it is difficult to see. I felt sad whenever I had to help my parents to apply those medicines because this shows that they are ageing. Mum always complaint feet pain and had to wear slippers at home. Now dad, who doesn’t have any aches, has to apply backache plaster and measure his blood pressure before going to bed. Haihhhhh… It is time for me to grow up and take care of them. That’s why I don’t want to further my education after completing my degree. I want to work and buy massage machines and other stuff for them since my elder bro is useless. To be honest, I hate studying also lah. I don’t want to stay up late anymore, lol.

Till here.

Finally, I watched the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Thanks Sharz for borrowing me his DVD. It is my first time watching an Indian movie and I really enjoyed it.

At first i never thought of watching this movie when it released. But after they had won so many awards, lecturer and friends were giving positive comments on it, i was moved to watch it

It is really a very nice movie and worth watching. You get to know the living environment and culture of India which is so different from the Hollywood and TVB movies I normally watch.

The three little kids Azharuddin as young Salim, Ayush as young Jamal and Rubiana as young Latika are so adorable.

Well, if you haven’t watched it, I suggest you to watch this 8 Oscar winning awards movie.

Yesterday was our last day of Public Speaking class. It ended with full of laughter as always. Our lecturer, Mr. Edwin always cracked funny jokes, making funny expressions and movements. If you don’t want to mess with him, you better be punctual and tell him earlier that you cannot make it to his class. If not you will get six words from him, “What the heck is… doing?” LOL. But after that, he will put on his smiley face as he told us he had difficulty in showing serious expression.

We had to prepare a speech for a special occasion during tutorial. He gave us topics and we had to choose and prepare a speech regarding on that particular topic. My topic was “Give a closing speech during a Hostel Annual Dinner. Share your happy/sad memory about your fellow hostel mate.” We were put into a group of 5 and only given less than 2 minutes to finish our speech. Edwin will then ring his ‘ice cream bell’, lol.

After 5 of us presented to each other, we had to choose a member from our own respective group whom we think gave the best speech. At first, three of us were pointing at Teng ma. As Edwin approaching us, our fingers changed direction by pointing at Michelle instead. Mich was so busted and said “Woii… you all ahh… (taking off her sweater).”

She indeed gave a very good speech and even dragged Susu to give an acceptance speech as Mich acknowledged Susu as something like Pizza King. So Edwin asked Susu to give an acceptance speech which was darn funny. Susu accepted his ‘award’ and as he expressed his emotion, he then dragged Sharwin to give a speech too as he thanked him (Sifu Sharwin) for guiding him to be a Pizza King.

Before we said goodbye to Edwin, we took group photos and was cheated by Edwin. He told us not to smile and be serious. As I checked out the photos, he was the only one showing off his ‘rabbit teeth’, HAHA. After that, we shook hands with him and BYEBYE.

Edwin taught us a lot of techniques of Public Speaking and I really had fun in his class although I still felt nervous every time I have presentations. We do not need to sit for final exam on Public Speaking as our marks will be allocated through our 3 presentations, one test and one outline. I remember during the first day of Public Speaking, he told us we do not have final exam on this. We were all freak out and demand to have final exam as we think we might score better by memorizing the theories. But now, I feel that presentations are enough to access each of us.

The most frightening presentation was impromptu speech. We only had 2 minutes to prepare our introduction, conclusion and three main points. The speech must be less than 5 minutes. I was so, so nervous and pray to God to give me a good topic, bless me, bless me! So, I hand picked the topic “Blood.” “What can you think of blood?” I only thought of ‘blood keeps us alive, blood helps us to find our long lost parents through DNA’ and another one??? Geezzz… thanks to Shan, she was outside and told me that Korean couples use blood to test and see whether they are match. I was not sure about this but I have no choice but to cross my fingers and present something which I don’t know. Luckily one of my audience who is Ian, back up my point by saying, “Ya, Ya, they do that.” Phewww… rub sweat…

My second presentation was 10 minutes persuasive speech. I am presenting on “Students should get a tertiary education because…” I think I can do better on that presentation. I was very well prepared as I memorise everyday and every 3-4 hours. On that day, I presented like a machine gun. Well, what to do, I live with my name, “Machine = May Shing.” I presented way too fast and my friends told me, they were shocked at the same time impressed because I didn’t stumble. My speech ended only 6 minutes + and my marks was deducted because we have to present at least 7 minutes minimum. When I practice at home, it took me 9 minutes! Maybe during practice, I pause and think… On that day, I was so nervous and just shoot everybody in one ‘breath.’ “Nobody should stay alive”, muahahahaha. =.=lll

The last presentation was demonstrative presentation. It was a group of at least 4 members. Because our tutorial group is not even number, so my group has 5. Our first topic was “How should you behave when you go for an interview.” We had already planned what and how to demo, what to wear etc. But Edwin said, “I saw that before, choose another one.” So we chose “Easy Massage.” He said, “I’ve seen it before. Your seniors did that already.” Bl**dy f**l… I tak boleh tahan and told him, “Sir, you’ve seen it before, but our audience which is our friends didn’t see it before. Can lah sir…” He asked, “What are your massages?” We told him this, this, this, this and THIS! Then he said, “Okay lah, this will be my last massage demonstrative topic.” “Yippyyy… Thank you Sir.” Haha.

I really enjoy this demonstrative presentation especially our friends demonstrating on food. As you know… we get to have free lunch after that, lol. In my tutorial group, only one group presented on food where we have ‘Banana Choc’, ‘Bergourt with cheese and ham,’ ‘Raw tomato Tuna chilli onion’ and last but not least ‘Mango Blossom ice cream.’ These 4 dishes were very new to me and look easy to prepare. Another team prepared Chinese tea which I missed it as I went to watch F1. While tutorial 2 is lucky as they are all talented ‘chefs.’ All four teams prepared different type of food. Such as Indian sweets, dumpling rice, salad and Nyona kuih.

So, these are some of my wonderful memories during Public Speaking class. I love Friday compare to other days. Below is a picture of Tutorial 1 with ever smiling Mr. Edwin. ManU versus Sunderland now, ciao =D
