a funny but serious week
serious because my exams are coming up fast and thick - see previous entry.weird - i had the weirdest dream this morning - my old school (iis in the jungle) had wild animals roaming around. like, wild vicious wanna-rip-out-those-kids-throats kinda vicious. first there were wolves. 3 of them. they went after this kid with a blue t-shirt on. somehow i growled at them as a lion would, so that they'd leave him alone. they did, but came towards me instead. so i had to rush to lock all the doors of the 4th floor (thats where i was, but it didn't have p ...
La-di-da
I’ve been eating alone a lot lately…its so sad…last night my lonely dinner consisted of 2 pau's.one kari ayam and the other chocolate.Today in halaqah I got the “sis, are you a foreigner?” again. No, I’m malay, I reply. In my head though, yeah, I’m a foreigner, in my own country, and everywhere I go.on the way back from halaqah, which ended at 10 p.m., a bird flew across the road (like, in the sky, but it was flying at tree level) the way it was flying was... different. so i actually crossed the street and stood under the tree it had perched in a ...
An Account of how my day went Wrong
Today actually started last night. I was working on my group assignment. Of course, my group members contributed, but in contribution, I mean, go to wikipedia and copy the information. A kid could’ve done that. Even though I wasn’t really done, I had to go to bed at 1, because tomorrow (today) I needed to meet one of my group members at 10. we had agreed. I actually suggested 11, since I know she wakes up late, bt she said 10 was better. Ok. So I go to sleep. Wake up at 9.15 to get ready and stuff. I go and shower. I need to iron my clot ...
when i have the laptop i can blog…
30th Jan 2008 What a day…this morning I woke up on time, but I still got out a bit late, so I practically ran to class. But when I got there there were only 2 people in the lecture hall. Weird. The lecturer wasn’t there but I thought that’s ok, he tends to come a bit late anyway. So we sit around and soon 1 or 2 more students come. And no one else. Then we get a text saying no class! Then in the evening I had to wait for my laptop to save and hibernate so by the time I got out of my room I only had 5 minutes to make it to class on time so this ...

warm ears and rollicking tummies
I've been very jumpy and nervous all week long, well last week since its monday. even today. i had to present my project and i wasn't really prepared, i knew what i wanted to say but i didn't get a chance to rehearse all of it in my head or arrange all the points into a nice flowing explanation. ah anyway. the lecturers said my design was good, and they seemed to really like it, so thats a relief.this is my project. for more pictures go to my facebook account.my stomach gets all giddy when i'm nervous. i also seem to smile a really wide cheesy be ...

its the day after the second day of being paid to stand around. its 11.42 pm, but earlier (and now i think) the weather is lovely. Lovely? At night?yup, it was! if only malaysian weather was like this all the time, cool and super windy. my neighbors wind chimes have not stopped chiming since i got home, its really a lovely sound. on the other hand, the wind is whistling through the windows, freaky but cool at the same time. cool because you know it must be really howling out there.ok. so we volunteered to ... volunteer with some halal conference, ...

CYC
on friday night i went to watch the semifinals for the Champions youth cup, Manchester United vs Flamengo. we got there 10 minutes into the match, on on our way to the seat we say this guy, a flamengo fan, screaming his heart out in pure unadultered passion (or it could have been madness, who's to know? he was speaking portuguese) anyways, thinking it wouldn't be wise to sit anywhere near a rampaging latinook thats allmalas laaaaaaaa

The bus was okay, comfortable enough although me seat was a wee bit cramped with all the bags since the overhead compartment was full. Funny thing was that the bus (this was executive coach) stopped at the Sungai Besi toll Rest stop and went out to buy us all McDonalds breakfast. You’d think an executive coach would serve you nicer food, or at least not buy it on the way ...
Mafia Wars
Here’s how it works. Everyone sits in a circle making sure you don’t touch your neighbors. There is a game master guess; he’s the one who will instruct everyone on what to do. So the circle represents a village, and everyone is a villager. First all the villagers must close their eyes. Then the games master will randomly select 3 people out of the villagers to be mafia, by quietly tapping them on their shoulder. After he has done this, he will announce, mafia, wake up, and the three chosen mafia will open their eyes. Then the each mafia points at ...
