Again, it's me singing

Haha! I think I've got nothing better to do these days. I recorded myself singing with my cellphone again. Here are the two songs:

1. When There Was Me And You (from High School Musical OST)
   http://psapphire.podOmatic.com/enclosure/2006-10-30T00_45_42-08_00.amr
2. Feel My Soul (originally by Yui Makino. Yup, this is a japanese song)

Click on the links to download. Those are .amr files, I can't convert them into .mp3. So you'll need a Real Player to open the files. You might be alerted if you need to download a codec, but it's a fast and easy process.

Bloggers are pathetic. Have to constantly embarrass themselves so that their blogs get noticed. Please feel free to laugh at my singing if you want to.

Crazy BBQ party (Part 2)

And what's best to do when it rains half way during a BBQ party?

TAKE PICTURES!

At last we kinda lost our patience and they took my umbrella out to continue BBQ-ing:

After the party, we went to the mamak. But unfortunately, we were all laughing too hard then to remember to take pics. So the yum cha part is left photo-less. Sorry guys, I'm not a good photographer also... ;P

Afterthought:

Through this gathering, I realized:

1. That the male population is actually capable of organizing an event well. Seriously, they went to the wet market, bought the ingredients, prepared the food...and they even remembered to buy tissue paper and handwash! Gosh, even girls can forget that. And on top of everything, they paid and said it's on them. Whoa...I'm kinda impressed-leh.
2. That we all actually hated the same person, the guys and the girls.
3. That one might look totally serious and righteous from the outside but is in fact more than evil from the inside.
4. That college life is all about friends and being stupid, all the time.
5. That guys are better at household chores than girls.

Through this gathering, I think they realized:

1. There are a lot of talkative and playful people in the class.
2. Esther actually speaks cantonese foul language (sometimes-la, not all the time).

Anyway, it was really really fun and I hope we'll be able to have another gathering or trip in the next sem (though it's a bit difficult, coz we'll be very busy soon). Especially looking forward to the trip to Putrajaya! Hehe......

Crazy BBQ party (Part 1)

OMG, I'm HOME!!! I could finally blog the BBQ thing coz I can upload the pics now. Hehe......

As if the haze was not serious enough, the male population of class of LL.B Semester 1 (Sep 2006 intake) organized a BBQ party on last Thursday at 7.30 p.m. in front of Dining Hall. Below is what happened on that night:

Starting the fire:

The fire's ready!

Delicious!

Getting hungry...

Yay! Chicken wings done!

Who knows......"Dai Lou" Anthony stole our chicken!

When we were enjoying the food, suddenly, it started raining...So we moved into the Dining Hall, hoping the rain would stop pouring soon...

To Be Continued...

I shall miss my roommate...

I just got to know that my roommate for next semester is gonna be a Korean girl, once again. Thank God. I'm so lucky. My current roommate, Mira, assured me that she's a nice girl and speaks good English. Wonderful. I can already hear the background music of Jewel In the Palace playing in my head......

Joke! Haha!

Anyway, I'm sure I'll miss Mira. She'll be going home to Seoul in November, while I'm on my sem break. She's always been nice to me since I came here, like an elder sister (I'd have called her onnie if she hadn't tell me not to once she told me her age. She said she didn't like the feeling, as if she's still in Korea where the difference of age and status is an important matter). Although my Korean language doesn't seem to have improved much, my knowledge about the Korean race certainly has. It made me appreciate the fact that I have a super nice roommate more when I heard complaints from my friends about their roommates. Really.

Sem break is finally coming, but I'm feeling kinda moody, mainly because I'm cracking my brain open thinking about where to get the sources for my courseworks during the holidays (God knows our state library only has children books and there's water dripping from the ceiling), and also because I hate the fact that I've met someone whom I could relate to but we don't seem to have had enough time to know each other more. I think we kinda share some similar personalities. She agreed too.

I guess we'll see each other again, since I'm sure I'm going to visit Korea one day. Besides, she's considering UK for further studies too. Heck, who knows? We might even bump into each other in China in December. Coz I'm going to Hong Kong and she's going to Shanghai.

Ok, my eyes are gonna droop now. I know it's time for bed coz I'm starting to produce rubbish here. I'll have more to write for tomorrow, that's for sure. Hehe......U'll see.

P/S: Gosh, I am SO paying for internet next semester, or I'll die and rot here since it's gonna be a long semester with a dreadful connection speed. I can't even upload pictures to my posts! Will upload them when I'm home on Friday.

Assignment-free

Phew......I thank God for getting me through today's classes without any homework assigned. I haven't been so free in weeks.

But then again, there's the bad side about being assignment-free. Today, while hanging out in the library, Sue May and I were wandering around the book shelves, having a hard time deciding on what to read, coz we were not researching for assignments! So in the end, we went upstairs and borrowed some novels.


We were so free that we even took photos in the library. What a good evidence to show our parents that we actually go to the library.

Speaking of the library, I just wanna ask what is the point of codifying all the books when they are not arranging the books according to the codes. And what is the point of making the students fish their wallets and purses out of their pockets to get their IDs out every time they enter the library when the automatic door at the checkpoint is not even working (you can fully push it open and walk pass it).

The door with the arrow thingy is not working. So when no one is guarding the entrance, we can just push the door open and walk in casually.

This is typical "Malaysian technology", where they make everything hi-tech and complicated, but it's as good as having none coz you still have to do everything the manual way.

Anyway, I'm just crapping through this post coz I have nothing to write for today. LOL! More later.

"Don't Know Why"

Hehe......I recorded myself singing with my w550i quite some time ago. It's Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why". I can't guarantee that you won't freak out listening to my singing, so click on ur own risk:

P/S: You'll need Real Player to play the audio file.

Rocker-chick nails

Thanx Ai Wee for helping me to buy this black-coloured Sasa nail polish in MidValley. U da best gurl! Hehe......



Now I can look like Hilary, or Avril, or Fergie......Well, my fingers do anyway, not my face. LOL!

But I gotta wipe this off before my parents come fetch me home on Friday, or I'll get it from my mom, "Do you know you'll be eating in toxin with this kinda nail polish on?" But she allows pink nail polish. Sorry mom, but the level of toxin in nail polish has nothing to do with its colour. Black and pink contain the same level. It's just that black seems toxic by the look itself. This is colour discrimination-la! My bottle of Sasa nail polish will scream "No fair!" if it's alive.

Can't wait to go home!

(Note: This what I posted in another blog last week.)

At last! Semester break is around the corner!
I know I should say I miss Ipoh bcoz I miss my family, but sorry, the 1st thing I'd say is I miss the food. LOL! Well......I do miss my parents......and the constant bickering and shouting with my annoying younger brother......and my friends......and my dogs......and my room with the princess bed I myself made......and the Streamyx line......

Oh sh*t! Did I leave out my bf? Erm......no, coz he's in KL, not Ipoh. Which is why I have to put him in another category called "the thing/person I miss more than I miss Ipoh and the food there".

Is it bcoz of the festive season (mid-autumn festival)? Why am I suddenly missing so many ppl/things today?

I miss my college friends. I miss how stupid we were. I miss how we used to take YEARS to decide where to have lunch. This was the daily routine:
"Oii, where to eat-lah?" "Dunno leh, we go downstairs 1st only we decide-lah." Then we'd walk out from the classroom and go downstairs. I don't know why, we'd always enter the library after that. I mean, it was not like we were going to study there or borrow books. Coz Sunway College Ipoh's library is a place for us to hang out, you are not supposed to study there. True what, since they reconstructed our cafeteria to become the design school, we had no place to hang out anymore. Anyway, we'd enter the library, stand at the locker place (strange, their "lockers" have no locks and no security guard counter there also. They are only shelves. But there's a label on top spelling L-O-C-K-E-R. Oxford dictionary redefined lockers ady meh? Why I dunno one?), and someone will say, "Oii, go where-lah? Faster decide. Hungry-la deng!" "Wah, the girl damn cun man......" "Where? Where?" "Sitting outside......neh......" "Go kao her-lah...EH LENG LUI!" "Mahem, you want me die arr?" "Like this also scared, no 67 lah you! Become gay lah!" "OII! WHERE TO EAT WOR???" "Ok, Ok, we go outside and decide." Then we'll walk out to the reception place and sit at the tables which are actually reserved for visitors (again, bcoz we don't have a cafeteria). This time, some of our friends will walk in from the entrance and we'll be busy chatting with them......until someone goes again, "Oii! Hungry! Go eat!" "Where to go?" "You ask me I ask who?" "Aiyar, we go out 1st then only decide-lah." So we'd walk outside and stand under the sun and go, "Now what?" "Who's driving?" "You-lah!" "Want meh? No petrol arr!" "Then I drive lor. Where you guys wanna go?" "You drive you decide." "I no idea wor......" "Oii, damn hot here. Go inside the car 1st only we decide-lah." Inside the car, "I want Groove Coverage CD!" "Dun want! Sien jor!" "Track 8." "Don't want!" "Oii, where to go?" "You start driving 1st only we decide"......
So finally, we will decide when we drive to a place where there is a junction.

My friends' crazy antic at the mamak stall. They were playing with the leftover food. Gosh, the workers in Restoran Samudera must have had a nightmare seeing us every day then.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually miss this boh liao routine. Which is why I can't wait to go home to do this every day with my friends again. This sem break will be the last time we can do this. After the break, I'll be extremely busy studying for my mid-sessional and eventually, final exam. Then, if I'm lucky (or you can say unlucky), I'll be heading off to UK next year.

Seems like my boyfriend is already mentally preparing for this. Before I came to Inti, he gave me a present and in the card, he wrote this:
Farewell my love,
Bitter at first, may sweet breeze through with the winter......

Of course it wasn't him who drew the design. That has "Esther and her itchy hand" written all over it.

It's really nice and poetic and all, but then......so serious meh? ICM is only half an hour away from ICSJ ok? So I thought, maybe he meant for me to remember this when I go to UK too. Wrote all in one time, no need write again when I go UK, ma fan. LOL!

Alright, it's not funny. In fact, I feel like crying as I'm writing this. One month here I'm already dreading for our sem break to arrive so that we could go home and see each other as often as we like (And this damned hostel "high speed" internet connection blocked video streaming, which means I can't send or receive webcam). What will happen when I go to UK? I don't want to think about it. It makes me shudder......
Anyway, Ipoh, the ultimate Boredville in the Universe, here I come!......2 weeks later.
