Medical Checkup

Done! Finally...
spent 2 days waiting at government hospitals and banks... so many people...
had to wake up very early in the morning... now, i'm not feeling very well...
haven't finished packing...

watch Scary Movies 4 with sis yesterday... actually, we planned to watch The Fast and The Furious (or something like that, it's not my decision anyway) but end up watching ScMv4 'cause TFTF's rated 18SG; my sis is under-18 :) ScMv4's such a lousy movie! it's only an hour long! and the storyline's full of craps! was so disappointed...

Going to Residential College 6 - Ibnu Sina

RC 6 is nearer to Faculty of Medicine and UMMC (UM Medical Centre), near UM's PJ entrance, but it'll take 20 minutes to walk to Faculty of Dentistry! oh...
heard that the dental faculty hasn't have its own specialised library yet 'cause it's a new faculty (previously, dental students were under the medical faculty.)... so dental students have to go to the library at the medical faculty... hmm...
England was very lucky to get into the Quarter-Finals! David Beckham's once again proven that his free-kicks are superb; thanks to Becks, Eng won 1-0! but they're merely lucky 'cause they didn't perform as good as they should have been since the World Cup finals started... with Michael Owen back at home, Eriksson's left with the aggressive+young Wayne Rooney, inexperienced+too young Theo Walcott and the redundant+"walking bamboo" Peter Crouch... he took the risk by changing the formation from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1 last night and it proved to be a big failure as the midfield was so crowded till Steven Gerrard had to run side-by-side with Frank Lampard! and Lampard's another unlucky guy who's got the most shots on goal than anyone else in the WC finals but none of them hit the back of the net! sigh~ hope that they can win Portugal in the Q-finals...

Going to UM

got my 1st choice, University of Malaya - Dentistry.
kinda said 'cause my close friends in KMPh who applied Dentistry didn't get their 1st choice... they're also offered Dentistry but in USM (Kelantan campus)and UKM... my mum told me that the alphabetical orders of our names were taken into consideration as our applications were sorted out by computer.. since my initial is 'E', and my friends who applied dentistry have their initial as 'S', 'T', etc., we got into different universities... another friend got food tech... anyway, congrats to those who got into U!

went out with Yong May on Saturday and bought a pair of shoes... it's the 1st time i bought something on my own! wow.. joined other girl friends at Real Joy and watched England Vs Trinidad&Tobago (replay) together...
:) most girls watch football matches only during World Cup and our purpose is to see good-looking football players on the field! haha... our knowledge on football is only the tip of an iceberg but we enjoy the matches as much as the guys do :P
England players didn't perform well in the last 2 matches although they won.. hope to see improvements in the coming matches... and hope to see them in the finals :) David Beckham's still my favourite football player

my auntie and her family from S'pore visited us yesterday... we had lunch at a restaurant to celebrate Father's Day... after lunch, we went to K-Box in Summit Parade and had a karaoke session... it was quite fun except that we'd to pay for more than RM20 for an hour, which was very expensive... they went home in the evening...

Raining outside...

hmm... the weather's weird nowadays... unpredictable... it can be very hot for a few hours before a heavy downpour... and now, it's raining heavily outside...

it's been 2 weeks since i last got online... kinda lazy :P

29 MAY - 4 JUNE
went to Genting Highlands with my family and my maternal granma... wasn't a good trip up there as everyone, except my sis fell sick!
we had our dinner at a famous Chinese restaurant (but i don't remember its name! hmm... ) at Gohtong Jaya... many celebrities from Hong Kong and other countries were customers here and they left photos on the walls... the food was really delicious!
then... dad had diarrhoea the next morning before we went up to the peak from Awana Resorts... i accidentally left my phone in the apartment... so, we drop mum, granny, and sis at First World Plaza, and went back to Awana to get it... why the fuss? 'cause dad's worried if my phone's stolen, it'll be a big problem as i'm using postpaid service and if that person happened to call international calls and the bill's going to be a huge sum... <- oh, what kind of language is this? whatever...
by the time we got back to First World Plaza, dad started to feel giddy and he threw up...in the toilet...
minutes later, dad left us at the restaurant and went to First World Clinic... TADA!!! that's when my turn came! i started to have breating difficulties after eating a few spoonful of porridge... then i felt nauseous... quickly, i asked my sis to accompany me to the toilet as i knew that i was going to throw up sooner or later... AND on the way to the toilet... i slowly lost my consciousness... my sis told me that she was calling my name but i don't really remember that... BANG! BANG! i blacked out and knocked my head against the wall when i was going up the stairs... sis told me after i regained consciousness that i was very stubborn for not listening to her when she shouted to me and told me to sit down... but i don't remember that at all! what i remebered was i saw white stars slowly filling in my field of view from the edge of my eyes and finally everything went white! the next thing i remembered was when i was sitting on the staircases and i saw figures around me... sis told me later that a security guard, a tour guide, and another man came to help when they heard the BANG! BANG! hahaha...
my sis felt so helpless as she's not strong enough to hold me from falling... "you're so heavy!" she complained :P
the tour guide helped me to the clinic and asked my sis to call our parents... i gradually regained consciousness and heard my dad's phone ringing from inside... "oh, my dad's inside. thanks for helping us." "huh?! how come your dad is also in the clinic?" :D the tour guide was puzzled! hahaha... so did the doctor!
to cut it short, dad paid RM75 to First World Clinic in total... i was diagnosed with low blood pressure... i threw up several times later on...
that afternoon, dad's elder brother and his wife (my uncle and aunt lah :P ) came to visit us at Awana... NOW listen carefully! my mum's the 3rd 'victim'! she too, felt nauseous and threw up... her condition was worse than mine! later in the evening, my granny started to feel uncomfortable and had no appetite. she skipped dinner... now everyone except my sis is down...
we left Genting Highlands ASAP for Kedah the next morning... something must be wrong there...

in Kedah, my maternal granny's place... the weather's still the same... very hot.. nope! it's extremely hot!
watch X-Men III in GSC cineplex with sis and my cousin... i don't really like action movies... but the story's quite nice :)
attended my mum's cousin's wedding dinner before heading back home the next morning...

we visitted dad's university-mates in Ipoh on the way home. it's been 8 years since we left New Zealand in Dec 1998. dad was under JPA scholarship to pursue his 1st degree in TESL in University of Otago, Dunedin during 1997-1998. mum brought sis and i to NZ in Sept 1998 when i was still in Primary 5. JPA gave us allowances. life in NZ was so wonderful as we needn't go to school! i did brought some exercise books from m'sia but didn't study much eventually :P we travelled on our own from South NZ to North NZ, east to west, after dad finished his studies... the main purpose we went there was to attend dad's graduation ceremony in Dec...
however, 1999 was the most challenging year for me as i was going to sit for UPSR at the end of the year, after coming back from NZ. i was in a premier school. my classmates had already started Primary 6 lessons during the school holidays in Dec 1998! and i also had to study Pri4 books on my own as i was a PTS scorer who skipped Pri4! oh! luckily i managed to get 6As out of 7 subjects... hmm...

Uncle Richard, our housemate in NZ has gained weight... his children, Denise and Alvin have grown up. we couldn't recognised Alvin from his photo as he's now 12-year-old. he was only 4 in 1998!
we also visitted Aunt Mavis, dad's U-mate... her 3 sons are now teenagers and look so different! how time flies huh?

5 JUNE
attended another wedding dinner in Johor Bahru. it was dad's cousin's wedding.
Bro Alvin bought me a tee in New York. it's very beutiful! Thanks a lot :)
