Home
It feels beyond good to be at home finally :D
I have gotten used to the life in Subang, thanks to my incredible adaptability. Heh Heh. Nah, just kidding. I adapt well, but its not incredible. Too bad. So, i still miss home terribly. When I think of home, many things come to mind. The first, of course, is my family and all the little petty arguments and hearty laughter. Next comes the comforts of sitting on the couch to watch TV or blasting the radio, listening to 98.7 - to catch up on new songs. Then, I think about my big soft soft bed, and all the fluffy pillows on it. HAH. And... well, there's just to much to list out why I love being home right now.
Oh, wait, did I mention not having to spend my own money at all when i'm home? Just lovely ;)
I just cannot understand how it's Chinese New Year Eve tomorrow. It's so soon! I'm not ready for it, really. I remember how excited we all were about CNY when we were younger. We helped put up the decorations during then. As we age, things change. Most of us deem CNY as "boring' or "time to rot at home" or "ah, sien"- something along that line. We no longer celebrate this festive period the way we once did. Less visiting, less fireworks, less spirit, less joy, less everything. Ah, humans of the 21st century. Most (note: i say most. You're not necessarily in this category, I know) of us are drifting away from our family and relatives.
I, for one, am. Drifting from my relatives, i mean. My direct/distant cousins, we don't talk. My distant relatives, we meet once a year, or once every two/three years. It sucks and I'm envious of my friends who have really good relationship with their relatives. Ah well.
Another reason why I'm not up for CNY this time around is cuz i'm sick as a dog. I skipped class today. Bah. I feel horrible, with my nose stucked and my non-stop coughing. Not to mention, I was and still am a little dizzy. Wth. I blame it on the weather- wet, hot,wet, hot! And myself, of course. For not drinking enough water after I lost my bottle. :/ Now I suffer the consequences. So much for enjoying CNY cookies and bak kua!!! Worse still, mum bought famous amos cookies, and I cant have any of it. Dayeum.
Tata, xx

Should be going
Arghh. Crapitty crap crap. I just came back to my room with my heart set on reading my biology textbook. I was going to do it! Determined and all. But alas, here I am, sitting in front of my laptop surfing the net, doing nothing. How can anyone be doing nothing? Beats me. I have no idea either. I guess nothing means stuff that does not benefit me whatsoever, intellectually.
I realise I have just answered my own question. Oh heck.
I have been rather unproductive of the late, and this is very very bad considering its only, like, what, the second week of college? It surprises me how fast the homework is accumulating. Everything is a little different here. Like Nat, I kinda miss the teachers in high school. I miss them spoon-feeding us information. In college, u're almost entirely on your own. Little help is given. Lecturers just talk and u just...jot down whatever. The tough part bout it is that you don't know which is necessary, which is not. Bah. I REALLY gotta read up soon.
Even though I complain a little 'bout the "no spoon-feed" thingy, i'm still pretty glad bout everything that had happened so far. I have gotten to know more people and the social circle is expanding. Almost every time, we have new people at our lunch/dinner table. I like this part bout college. This is something that we couldnt' have in high school, where since the first day of school, you alredi have your own "clique" - not that i'm saying i'm still not in a clique now (i still am), but like i said, its expanding.
I effing hate the lighting in my room. Its so dim. Even typing this out is making me sleepy, wth. : / bye

dad, mom and grandmom
I just received some photos from my mum through email. These pictures were taken the day before I came to KL. When I see these pictures... there's a sudden pang in my heart. A feeling which is both bitter and sweet. Because I'm kept busy all the while, there's really not much time to miss them - and I'm sorry for that. However, when I'm alone, I think about them. I remember their warmth and care. I remember my dad's cold expressions and indifference to jokes. I remember my mum's naggings and love. I remember my grandmum's superb cookery skills and advice. I miss my siblings as well- them annoying me to death. lolz.
Hyper love, xx

a new start.
There are many times a day when inspirations would hit me, and I would get the sudden urge to write in here, and at the same time, dust off the dirt layering on my blog page. But (yes, its annoying isn't it? There's always an excuse one way or another), college has started and the past few days had been crazy hectic here in Subang Jaya. There's so much to do. Moving in is not exactly a breeze considering (fine, I admit) I've never really done housework before. I'm not proud of it and I kinda resent the fact that I've not done all these washing/cleaning/ironing before cuz now I gotta learn it the hard way : / Luckily tho, I have friends to guide me. :)
I won't be surprised if my family won't recognise me the next time they see me because I sincerely suspect my skin would turn a few (not just one) shades darker :'( Every where here is within walking distance, so to save on transportation cost, we walk. That is not the problem tho. The real pain in the butt is the ever hot weather here in KL.10 minutes in the sun, and you'll be soaking in sweat. The pollution here in the city is not very favourable either :( Anyways,
Today was Orientation day for all the CAL students in Taylor's. I gotta say...my seniors were right. Sure, there were some games and sort but well... it's still kinda boring. The briefing by the school officials were a bit of a drag, but its not "deathening". As freshmen, we were brought for a campus tour by the seniors. I really like my Student Helper, May. She was really enthusiastic and and laughed a lot- which was what we really needed cuz well, we're all new and we tend to get really tensed. Our mentor is Mr. Leong...I heard he's a pretty good teacher but he speaks very slow lor --. I hope Physics class won't be hell : /
Some of us are strung together in the same class, others are not. I cannot be more relieved to find out I'm not alone - HuanYi's with me. Met some new people of cuz. One of the students that have left quite an impression was Kelvin- he's quite a joker and looks a tiny bit like Adam Lambert (if he were to be with make-up on lar). For the rest... I can only remember those with English names. wth. My brain has only that much capacity to memorise names and that is not a good thing. Eesh.
Tomorrow would be the start of class and I wonder how my lecturers would look like, how they would conduct their lessons and how effective it would be... I hope all goes well :)

to bring or not to bring
IF I could, I would pack everything- and i mean everything.
So, one and the half years in KL doesn't sound too much of a drag, I know. Time will pass faster than we expect them to. Leaving behind some stuffs for such a short period of time is ok, right? But no, to me, these are the things that I see every single day. All those belongings in my room... I wake up to them every morning. It'll be kinda tough to part with them. Sure, I've been to holidays and all that, but this is not really the same. I'll be away for a long term this time. :( I am the sentimental type. I keep random notes and letters written by my friends and family. I wish I could bring all of them- but where will I keep them in my tiny cubicle for a room in college? : / No where. So I might have to leave many things behind. Things and people.
anw...I just went to the clicnic just now. Finally. I've been coughing my lungs out since last week. This morning, it finally dawned on me that self-medication doesn't always work. Eesh. The doc said it's some virus infection or wth. wtf. Now, i gotta take cough syrup (yuck) and some..."sweets". I hate taking medicine :( PLEASE make me feel better soon.
Ta. this is a very random ramble.
