hv been spending there past few days at home watching TV, visitting friends and spending time with family and relatives...
went to Yong May's family optical shop for an eye check-up and found out that my eye-sight hasn't deteriorated except for a 50 degrees increase in myopia in my right eye.. got a pair of new specs anyway... mum said i need another pair as a 'spare tyre', if u get what i mean ;P
visitted Pn Goh with Yunn Shin and Yong May on Tuesday... and that's the reason why we didn't attend the gathering at McD, Summit Parade...
went to Yin Tyan's house... Yong May and Kim Na were making puddings and spaghetti... and i met up with some other friends including Yin Tyan's boyfriend, Yong Jie, whom i wasn't introduced to, hmm... friends studying in TAR College were practising for a singing competititon which is going to be on Monday, that's tomorrow, for that matter. i left after having eaten the delicious spaghetti but had no time for the puddings 'cause they're still in the oven when i left... hmm... never having really cooked something myself, it's quite a surprise for me to find out that one actually has to baked puddings in an oven! or maybe it's one of a special type...
i left in my dad's new Toyota Innova which has a 'JJJ' on its number plate... hmm... my parents seemed to have a liking of purchasing new things in my absence... an Astro decoder, a study lamp, a new MPV...
all 4 of us in the family played badminton at Banang Golf Club that evening... and i found out that my stamina's getting from bad to worse nowadays that i was panting like hell just 10 minutes after the game started... but it's really hard not to feel tired playing with 2 skillful 'old players' *wink
on Saturday, we went to Kukup and bought some T-shirts there... the trip went intended to be to Tanjung Piai, the southest tip of the Asia continent, but the road leading to it looked too dangerous to be travelled on...

yesterday, my paternal granny cooked my favourite Hokkien Eng Chun noodle for me... it's delicious! after lunch, my family and my uncles' went to the showvillage in Evergreen Heights... the interior designs of all the 8 houses were very nice and sophisticated but some designs weren't that practical if one's to 'live' in that design...

just finished reading Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince this evening... i found this book lacking in something the previous 4 HP sequels have, which i don't know what it really is... it's so dull at the beginning, but not after half the book has been read... by the way, it's true in the papers; 'everyone seems to be snogging...'
it's so sad that Dumbledore's dead and was killed by a very 'dislikable' character in the story... but it's happy to know that Ron and Hermione eventually became a pair, but i did thought that Harry and Hermione would be a more compatible pair; one being courageos, and the other, intelligent ;)
the part in which Harry and Dumbledore were at the lake was the most eeriest part in the book 'cause i personally disgust corpse! and seeing Dumbledore suffering after drinking that potion in the basin was so touching and saddening...
and when Harry eventually asked for a split up with Ginny, i thought that he was very wise and selfless in doing so, for Voldemort'll most probably make use of her as a bait in future, as what Harry said... it's benevolent and noble to sacrifice one's love for the sake of the world, for Harry, the magical society especially, but not for the sake of one's personal pursue, which is very selfish... Harry's made a wise choice... but i think the seventh and last sequel'll be very different from all the previous ones as Harry's decided not to return to Hogwarts after Dumbledore's death, to search for Voldemort and kill him... he'll be very different yet more matured, i think, for he has a much heavier responsibility now, seeing that Dumbledore's no longer here to assist him anymore...
...good luck, Harry...

i'll be going back to college on Thursday after my additional SPM Chinese paper on Thursday morning... to my college mates, i've got permission from the HEP, in precise, En Amran himself... and don't forget to bring kuih-muih and your own baju kebangsaan for the jamuan on the 18th of November...

...home sweet home...

i've just finished my 1st semester of matriculation studies...
jz arrived home yesterday evening... my friend and i boarded the wrong ubs! we're supposed to take the 10.30am bus which was heading to Johor Bahru by the Segamat way, but another bus which was heading the same way arrived earlier... the bus driver told us that his bus has empty seats... thinking of getting home earlier, we boarded the bus without much hesitation...
after more than an hour on the bus, then only we realised that the bus was taking the Mersing way! we had no choice but to call my parents and ask them to pick us in Larkin, JB... my dear parents and sister arrived at the bus terminal in our new Toyota Innova before us! haha...
it's a lesson to us; not to board any other bus other than the one stated on the bus ticket...

the questions of our final exams were set by university proffessors... maths was quite difficult and those who really aspire to study medicine were really upset after the exam 'cause without 4.0 CGPA, it's very difficult for one to get a place in U to study medicine... since i'm after biotech or other science related courses except medicine, i'm not that worried...

MUET: i didn't have enough sleep the night before my speaking test... so i don't think i did my best... however, i think i did quite well for other papers... hope to get band 4 and above...

semester break: 29 Oct - 9 Nov

Gala Nite

The English Gala Nite is on this Friday, 30 Sept 2005! i'm going to be one of the fairies again! My class won the third place in the preliminary round of Reader's Theatre competition! unfortunately, only the top 2s are going to the finals, which will be held on Gala Nite...

i'm now in the computer lab... today's the last lesson of Informatics Science... so i think i won't be able to have any free time to surf the net and update my blog till after my exams, which is going to be after 29th of Oct... i'll be going home by bus on 30th of Oct and be back here on 6th of Nov... the 2nd semester's going to start on 7th of Nov!!!

my parents are coming only next Saturday, 8th of Oct... dad's going to receive his Anugerah Guru Cemerlang for excellent perfomance in his work this coming Saturday, 1st of Oct. Congrats! hmm... i won't be able to celebrate his birthday with him (2nd of Oct)... Happy Birthday in advanced, dad!

got my MUET exam slip... my speaking test's on 17th of Oct, at 7.30am! i hope i won't be too drowsy to speak...

well, till then... wish me luck for my exams :)

Maths quiz...

I won the 1st place in the Maths Quiz which was held recently during the Maths Week!!! however, the college has no time to hold a prize giving ceremony, so we winners're told to claim the prizes OURSELVES! it's so pityful of me carrying a heavy hamper with the height of a normal table from the administration office back to my hostel... i invited my roommates and neighbours to 'finish up' the hamper... everything's food, mainly biscuits and snacks...

i won't be going home till after my final exams and MUET... will be home by 30 Oct...

though exams are just around the corner, we've lots of tests, seminars and talks...

last weekend, some of the public universities and college universities came to have a roadshow here in my college... i went for UM and UMS's talk... the talks're conducted by proffessors of the universities... during the UM's talk, the part of the ceiling of our lecture theatre collapsed!!! luckily no one got hurt... it's so embarrassing 'cause our college's considered the newest among the matriculation colleges, it's only 3-year-old!!!

this month is our English Month and i participated in the launching event by acting as a 'sad fairy', wearing all black... our class took part in the Readers' Theatre competition... the results of the preliminary round'sn't out yet... finals is going to be held during the closing ceremony, which is the Gala Nite, on 30th of Sept...
