Seriously, I have the worst schedule EVER. Ok so Accounting is mostly calculation...which comes abit naturally to me, I mean, I don't have to remember what to put where... but Econs and Management one after the other?? OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME...
And then yesterday, I was supposed to study my head off in coll, but nooooo... I ended up sleeping at Aishath's place for 4 hours. I even had phone calls from Radit, Eka and my dad...and yet I could still doze off again. Sigh. Today is another joke. I spent more time cleaning the house than studying. Hahahaha.. damn ittttttt... *pinches myself*...stop dreaming!!

I just checked the summer course timetable online... *gets dizzy*
Lectures start at 8.30am EVERYDAY!!.. yea, so my day finishes at 12.30pm everyday, but stilllllllllllllllllllll.........!!!!! I told my friends, since I get Wednesdays off, I can go and watch a movie once inna while. But then, I think I can do that every single day. Sigh. Include to that a 2-hour tutorial and what do I get? Four hours of non-stop Business Law...bye bye Celeste. *laughs dizzyly*
Finally handed in my summer course application form with Radit just now. The fella twisted his ankle on Tuesday. He's got a great group of friends...ALL of them have been banging him bout his leg since the incident. Hahaha. I've tried to jump on the bandwagon now and then, hahaha... with much success. Poor fella.
All in all, today was a nice day. Hectic, bored day. But nice. Compared to the exam starting in 5 days more. Sigh...
Why is it that PUTRA LRT has to give me trouble on Tuesdays? The day that I have to get my ass to coll at 9am in the freaking morning? Heeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssshhhhhhhhh... today it had some technical problems, so the trains were driven manually from Ampang Park to Kelana Jaya station, which is like, where I get on and get off....arrghh. I got on at 7.30am and got off at 8.30am and I stood the WHOLE time. My poor legs! But then I guess someone up there likes me coz for the 1st time in weeks, Kelana Jaya wasn't jammed up...wheeee...so I actually got to coll on time, man. Haha. What luck.
Classes were boring. Lunch was entertaining. Haha. After Management lecture, as usual my two new found friends - Afeef and Syafik - came to ask where me and the others were going to eat lunch. Finally, it was me, Syafik and Sara who went to Medan to eat upstairs coz the others had stuff to do or had eaten already. The recommended food by Syafik was good, and all 3 of us had a nice time laughing and joking around. Man, it took me awhile to have my 1st spoonful of food coz I couldn't stop laughing like hell. AIYO and this Syafik is like ...like... Abe II or something...sheeeshh but at least I get to bang him whenever there's a tv nearby, coz it kinda distracts him...ALOT.. hahaha.
Oh and I've finally printed out ALL my lecture notes....now to start studying. Cheh.
Left coll late today, about 5.45pm. And then while waiting at the bus stop my phone rings and its Abe (you should have seen my reaction..haha)
Ok wait, I gotta do this 1st... *me goes and sits under a kuali*
Right. Now where was I? Oh ok. Well he asked me to go and hang out with him awhile in Pyramid. I saw a PUTRALINE bus pass and decided to join him coz it was so damn full at that time. In Pyramid, he calls and asked to go to Ming Tien instead...cheh. Met up and went there for him to have his lunch&dinner meal while I had Dim Sum. Oh don't worry, the banging came as expected...hahaha. Damn it now he has new stuff to bang me about!! Arrrrghhh somebody needs to spy on Abe for me...hrrrmpppffff. Oh and he reads my blog, people. Hahaha....*waves to Abe*... Abe, you had a damn nice time jjust now right? Laughed until teary eyed...sheeeeeessssssshhh. Stupid Coldplay's In My Place song is in my head. Eeeeeeeeeeee...
I came back and konked for a few hours before waking up to come online. Haha. Wait till you see what time I wake up tomorrow, since there's no classes. My schedule is really screwed up.
Describing something as _ _ e _ l implies it has earned approval.
haha..help would be appreciated.
Oh and I heard during lecture today that there was a shooting incident in Monash's Clayton campus in Australia this morning... will check out details later and post it here.
12.40am
Monash Shooting Incident Update : Please redirect yourself to here
Thursday morning at around 10am, as I was waiting to go to coll, I got a message from Seow Feng, "Very bad news, Yue Keong passed away this morning."
And that saddened my whole day. In the 1st lecture of the day, BizStats, because the lesson wasn't distracting enough, I shedded tears slowly but surely. It was the only time I did that though, because my friends and the last assignment which was due on Friday distracted me from thinking of Yue Keong. But today, as I got back home after spending the night in Sunway, I sat in my room surrounded by old school magazines crying. Why magazines? Coz I didn't have any personal picture of him. I knew him in secondary school, but we were more of a "Hi and Bye" type of friends. And the worst thing is that I can't be sure if he attended the same primary school as me or not. I'M PATHETIC. A real joke...
I didn't attend his funeral yesterday morning even though Hoe Fong said that she could pick me up somewhere in Cheras to go to his house. Heard that Jaan Kit and the others cried a lot when contacted. I really regret not knowing him better. That's the thing that has gotten me pissed off. Sigh. But at least he didn't suffer...he passed away in his sleep. Mum tried to wake him up, I think for college, and she couldn't, unfortunately. AND HE'S MY AGE!! He seemed healthy. Good looking. Why?? Why why whyyyyy?? *gets pissed off* Life is TOO short and unfair. I hope he was loved enough during his lifetime. Arghhhh.
I'm guessing it was his heart. After finding out what happened, a couple of my friends came out with their stories of how they know thisthis person having chest ache/left arm pains before passing away a few hours later...and some of them around my age. So people, if it's not suppose to be in pain, PLEASE HAVE IT CHECKED. Told my dad and everyone else. Yesterday, when I stayed over at Aishath's with Sara, I realized I was trying so hard to stay awake when the others decided to sleep. I was scared... scared I wouldn't see people I knew anymore, scared of not being able to feel rain, scared of not being able to laugh anymore, to sing, to dance, to walk, to breathe..............
I thought that by delaying to write this entry, I'd lessen the emotional impact. I was wrong. I'm a mess now.
Thanks to all who unknowingly cheered me up by distracting me from thinking about how unfair life is. And thanks for helping ease the grief. I didn't know him as well as I should....but I did know him.
Saturday - Everything was according to my usual boring Saturday routine.. till at about 7pm, when Katie my church friend called me up out of sheer boredom. While talking, she was flipping through her Astro book and realised Miss Congeniality was gonna be shown at 9pm...this and that, this and that, and soon the plan was that she, Jackie and Sheryl would come over to my place and watch it along with pizza! Hahaha, had a nice time...which included me being nicknamed Miss Congeniality! Halfway through the movie, we all started wondering what the word actually meant, and so Jackie looked it up in Microsoft Word and said out loud the meanings, to which the others started screaming "Celesssssssttee"...sigh.
Sunday - Plan was to have lunch with a couple of my Form 6 friends - Ee Ling, Wern Shing, Seow Feng (part of the Chit Chatters), Surein, Param and Wai Kit. But a movie was thrown into the equation too when Ee Ling called me in the bus on the way to KLCC. Watched J. Lo's Enough...which was kinda slow. Then we gals went walking around for awhile before meeting up with the guys again for a little chit-chat at Gloria Jeans. Wern Shing and me were broke coz we didn't expect a movie, so we thought we'd just sit there and yak..which was ok. But Param insisted on spending on me, so I gleefully followed him to the counter and got myself a slice of Chocolate Banana cake and this Cappucino Chiller or something like that. Cool. Hahaha. Oh... and usually during these gatherings, I'm the only Chit Chatter there, so the guys have a nice time banging me. This time, there were 4 Chit Chatters. Hahaha. Param and Wai Kit got the what-I-might-call best treatment so far since our days in Form 6. Wai Kit was the best. You see, he turns red like a cherry when he's under the spotlight or teased. So I just have to say "Wai Kit, turn red..RED!!" and there he goes....R-E-D!!! Hahahaha. Plus, he sat next to me in Gloria's.. so gone la. Gone. Teeeheeeheeee....
We took some pics with Wern Shing's camera. Won't get it anytime soon since she has to finish up the film during her upcoming camping trip. Will post it in here then.
Maxine is asking me to write as long as possible in this entry so that she can kick back her legs and read since she's so bored. Hahaha. The 1st sentence of this entry must have potong-ed her steam. Hahahaha...
And oh, did I mention that I feel like a damn zombie now? Till I forgot to find for a host for the proposed group blog for me, Maxine and Becky. Sigh. Sorry gals. I'm trying to remind myself that life is not one whole textbook.
Reached college for accounting tute at 9.15am - 15 mins late hehe. Kelana Jaya is seriously jammed up these days. Why... I don't know. Went to the labs for awhile to sent an email to Yean Ee, who's based in the Gippsland campus, coz people were telling me that she was finding for me online for some reason. And then later in the cafetaria, we had a small cake cutting session for Cindy's birthday. And Becky, we do it there coz it's the only place all of us are together for only a moment in a day, seeing that all of us are now in different courses. Hehe. Just thought I'd clear that up before I get banged. Hehe.
Earlier on, I was already planning to study in the library after classes but wasn't sure till what time. And then Radit asked if I could stay till after dinner coz he was going back then and so we could take the LRT together. Have a friend to go back with. Will stay. Haha. Went for Bizstats lecture which was mind-boggling abit. Looks like I gotta put more effort into this subject :(
After lunch I played a game of pool with Eka when Aimann came and proudly said he'll play the winner. Haha Eka lost and then she ciaoed for her BizStats lab at 3pm. Me and Aimann played till the black ball was left but he won hehe. First time I played with him and the gal at the counter, who was his friend, couldn't help but laugh everytime he missed an easy shot but made the hard ones. Geez. Then I was off to the library where Isil was in the labs but I didn't join her though, needed to study. So I drowned myself in my BizStats assignment - which is due Friday - until Steven, Aity's friend, came by and we started talking. I didn't really know him coz I met him during dinner one day when I was out with the gang having cheese naan at Jaafar's. Kinda cute. Haha. Always banged Aity bout it. Well, we got talking and next thing you know, Isil was calling me on the phone saying that she, Eka and Aishath was in the cafetaria. Oh my, Steven stood talking to me for 30 minutes? Hahahaha.
Eka and Isil wanted to play foozball so I followed them while Aishath went back home. Foozball was only till 6pm coz they were using the room for a Birthday Bash held for international students whose birthdays were in July - September. So we played pool after that. And it was free! Haha. The damn place where you slot in your coins was damaged and when we asked the counter, the guy said "I don't see anything, I don't know anything.." Hahaha. Eka beat me this time and again, Aimann came. Eka was suppose to play with Isil next but since Aimann wanted to play too, so we let Isil and Aimann play. The game became abit 'public' becoz Aimann was quite a famous person there since he was the VPrez of MUFY last time, and the lounge was getting crowded becoz the Bash was about to start. I got to know the counter gal, this gal with really cool curly hair who I always see walking in the cafetaria - Mira, and a few others who started to introduced themselves to me when I sat down after Aimann beat Isil. Uhh, think there was a Liz, Erni and a Michelle. Hehehe.
7pm - walked over to Eka's place in the hostel to bum around till dinner and then it started raining so Isil left coz her parents were coming at 7.30pm. My dinner plans seemed to be out the window coz it was raining. Sigh. Was watching stupid Malaysian version of the Celebrity Squares in the recreational room downstairs when Radit called and asked if having delivery for dinner was ok. So me and Eka went and hung out in his room where it was like a party...filled with guys ahaha. Kenny, Steven, Kiki, Johan, and 2 other guys were there. Can you believe that McDonalds did not want to deliver coz it was raining? Sheesh. And Nando's wasn't on everybody's mind...but then the rain slowed to a drizzle, so we decided to walk to Ming Tien. The walk was terrible coz we used the hospital route and it was a really boring straight route. Oh and guys can REALLY spend on food. Gosh. Our tables were filled to the brim with dim sum and chicken wings and don't know what nots. And just earlier in the morning, Radit was wondering how I could survive on RM50 per week when I used to stay in nearby SS15 while he spent RM100+. And a week meant 5 days coz weekends were spent back home. Sheeeeeshhhh.
The group parted ways in front of busy QBar (where we saw Eram and Amjad) where Radit and me went to wait for the Putraline at the bus stop. What a wait. And when the bus came, lots of people queued up for it. So we had to stand. Sigh. Halfway through, I got a seat though. Poor Radit had to stand all the way. Didn't want me to hold his laptop, male ego I guess. Haha. We were both sleepy but he didn't dare to challenge me coz I was awake from 6am while he had a 3 hour afternoon nap. Haha. The LRT was quite empty, so we tried to keep each other awake by talking, so as to not miss our stations. And then both of us got headaches, hahaha.. he gets headaches from raindrops too. His family is going back to Jakarta next month, so all of a sudden his family is so concerned and strict with him i.e. no going out late so much, studies etc. This would be the 1st time that he's not moving back to Jakarta with his family since he wants to finish up his studies here, so they are kinda worried, we guessed. So he's shut down his clubbing activities for the moment to show that he's a good kid. Hahaha. Poor parents. They don't know what a devil he can be at times when he's out. Hehe.
Arghh stupid BizStats assignment. Damon has got my mind off it by coming online at this hour. He's starting to learn French, and asked if I knew it. I didn't, but intend to pick it up this holz, so he's teaching me now. Hehe. Oh and he says I write too long. Wonder what he'll say when he sees this. Hahaha. I was bored. I wrote. And I ended it. Tadaaaa.
Had a shitty time the past few days. My sinus gave trouble for 3 days since I got back from Seremban on Sunday. Sigh. Then yesterday, we got back our one and only Econs assignment... and I only managed a Credit. A Credit!!! Only!!! And when I went to see the lecturer later to see my scores, he actually complimented me on doing a good job coz it seems that the average was only a pass *feels like strangling him*. That's everybody. This is me. I'm not everybody. Pffftttt.
The others got around Credit too. And I thought I was the only one sad. We all tried to cheer each other up but it was impossible la. Most of the time we were cheering up Aishath, who failed the assignment. So then I guess all of us only had time to cheer ourselves up at home. Which was depressing! I sat on the sofa as soon as I got back, and contemplated the assignment paper in front of me. I'm not used to getting 64 for Econs. I scored a high distinction in Foundation. What in God blazes name happened along the way? Went online before dinner and the others tried to advice me - Eka, Payal and Michelle. I told them I was ok, but then, that was the only way to stop them from advising me haha. Sorry guys. Just need to time to readjust. But the thing is, getting this stupid marks has made me serious in studying now. Finals on the 29th, and I still got a Bizstats assignment to do. My goddddddd... when do I start studying?? At least I'm not as bad as those taking Biz and IT, who have 4 assignments more to do before the finals. Shitty eh? I've been staying in the library late these days, trying to study. Mum doesn't like it coz she knows I have to walk alone to Pyramid to get a bus home. It's just that stretch that's bothering her. What to do..
I'm hungry. Gotta go get some food in me before the next lecture. Tata.
Ms. Sham, my former foundation studies accounting lecturer, once said.. "The thrill of balancing your accounts is way...way better than an orgasm.."
I had my thrill at around 6pm yesterday in the college cafetaria, when I FINALLY balanced my Trial Balance, stood up and screamed. Sara had hers at 7.30.. but she didn't make a sound. Rather, she just quietly sat next to me and when I turned and asked "You still at it, eh?" ... she went ballistic and started bobbing here and there yelling "I got it!! I got it!! Yeaarrrghhhhhhhhh!!!!" Hahahaha.. The best would have to be Cindy - who has never done accounting before - I wasn't with her when she balanced the 1st assignment, but this time she sat in front of me. She hadn't reached Trial Balance though but was still in the normal posting procedures and everytime she managed to reconcile her Accounts Payable/ Receivable with her Schedules or balance her Bank Reconciliation, her 'whoops' became louder and more action-filled hahahahahaha.
We started at 12 and closed our books at 8pm (we did stop for lunch) to eat dinner at Jaffar, cheese naan. YUMMY!! Stopped by at Aishath's to have some Playstation 2 exercise and then I went back to my house-for-the-night, Fitri's condominium. Taught her some Microecons and then I finished my Financial Performance and Financial Position before dozing off for a good 8 hours!! Aihhh..
This morning, I followed Fitri to Telekom to help her register a phone line before walking to Subang Parade to have lunch. Aity and Aishath called to ask if I was in the cafetaria and I told them to come to Fitri's place for awhile. After showing Aity why she couldn't get her balance, we decided to go to the cafetaria after all (I was starting to dread the place from the previous night) and met the others there... all with the book in from of them ahaha. Tried to help them but after awhile I couldn't take it anymore and sat somewhere else to finetune my work.. I guess Aishath thought I was angry at her (for not following the accounting steps given) but I guess having so many people asking you about different parts of the assignment is kinda tiring. But had a laugh about it later when I was better hehe. Payal balanced her Trial Balance too after a gruelling time, but her celebrations didn't affect me coz I was at another table. But Cindy...hahahaha... she counted hers 3 times next to me (which was like hell's mouth grumbling), and when she did get it...well the hell's mouth kinda exploded. I had to stop writing coz the table shooked under her hands hahahahahahahahahaha.... There was this guy, a friend of Cindy's who was in my lectures but I've never spoken to him, who kept coming to see my assignment. He always came to me with a "Now why the heck is thisthis like this" look and left with a "OH shit la, how could I not know that!" look hahahaha.. after awhile he started calling me Ms. Teacher from his table and I'd be answering yes Mr. Student. Found out later his name was Shafiq. Hahahaha..
Left at 4.30pm with Michelle giving me a lift all the way home *hugs pee*... I'm home, I've done my assignment..and it's only due on Monday!! *starts tumbling around*
Shit. I forgot that this Saturday I gotta be in Seremban for Uncle Stanley's and Aunty Adeline's 25th wedding anniversarry! And I told Pathma that I can make it to her 21st birthday!!
Which is more important? Duhh..both!
Blood is thicker than water?
BUT.. I'm still doing my accounting assignment.. if I can't foresee myself goin to Seremban and staying the night there and come back and finishing it by Monday, then I'll have to skip it and then I can go to Pathma's. Coz if I go to Seremban, I have to stay there for the night.. and then you know how it is with cousins and all.. we'd plan to leave before lunch to reach KL for lunch, but might end up leaving there after the afternoon nap and reaching KL for dinner *imagines the horror*. Oh nonononono.. But it'll be me and my bestest cousins! =(
Pathma's would only be a few hours. And I get to see the Chit Chatters. But then I would probably see them one of these coming Wednesdays (my off day) or weekends. But stillllllll.....Haih..everything is happening this week eh?... you guys must be tired reading my blogs hahaha *bows in appreciation*
I've just messaged the others to see if they want to have a discussion tomoro in coll for accounting. Coz I'm definitely gonna be there since Fitri called me up on Tuesday asking if I could stay at her place and teach her Microecons (she's in Victoria Uni).. since I got no time to study this week coz of the assignment, I thought that by teaching her, I'd learn too. All 5 of them - Aishath, Aity, Hajar, Payal and Sara replied yes. Came online and Cindy agreed too through MSN. Seven brains. Should be enough. Haha. We are gonna have it for 2 days, including Friday before I come back to Ampang. For once, I'll have a friend during the journey there - Hajar's gonna get the LRT from Wangsa Maju and meet me at KLCC. Oh Payal just called, she wants to come on the journey too, so that means me and Hajar would get off at Bangsar Station to meet her and then continue to Kelana Jaya. Haha, I'm becoming quite the organiser eh? And since we are all gonna be together, I'm suddenly thinking - bowling?? Hahahaha...
And oh..Didier (my youngest bro) is driving me nuts! He's preparing for PMR which is like around the corner by doing alot of question exercises... since I did well in my PMR, so yeah, I guess I'm stuck with helping him. But I'm like changing brains here, between accounting and questions about fulcrum, vegetative growth, rhizom, what the hell is Planet Zuhal in English, acid changes which coloured litmus paper to what... blablablabla....and what is kelansingan (imagine guitar string), kenyaringan (high pitch) etc!!!!!
Last nite I swear I could have strangled Radit if he was next to me hahaha. Here I was, nicely getting into the flow of doing the accounting work when he msged me, asking me to watch TV1 (which is like the most boringest deadest channel). I hurried downstairs, thinking it was another Sept 11 or Mahathir resigning incident, and changed the channel to see....a woman singing...the 1st words that were heard were.."You and me, longed to be, close to youuuuuuu.." Arrrgghhhh.... it was the Carpenters - Close To You song. Why so bad?
Journey back in time:Well, not long ago, Radit had this song stuck in his head, and when I couldn't remember the song, he went on to type out the lyrics...all this while we were playing Yahoo! Pool, mind you. Before you can say gobblesmackgobble, the song was stuck in my head too becoz I remembered the tune! And for 1 week, it went on and on in the head..even when I managed to clear my head and concentrate in BizStats lecture, he suddenly msged me with the chorus of another Carpenter song (which was also stuck in both our heads) - Yesterday Once More - "every sha-la-la-la every wo-oh-oo-o.." Aiyooo...and I thought I was cured. Now this lady sings it on TV.
90 minutes and tons of sms-es later, we agreed to kill boredom by watching Changing Lanes at KLCC today. I didn't bother if I didn't watch a movie today (which is Wednesday!) because there wasn't any particular stand-out movie to watch, but since he asked..so what the heck. We didn't know the screening times though, and he had to sleep, so I would find out the times later online, and msg him for confirmation.
Got it. Msged him. Slept. Woke up this morning and there was no reply. 11am. Best movie timing was 1.20pm. I messaged him again asking if we were going out. Waited. Did some house chores. Called him. "The Digi number that you are trying to call is unreachable". Arrghhhh. I gave up at 12.30pm. At 1pm, he called me through his house phone (I didn't have this number), apologizing coz he didn't have anymore credits left so he couldn't msg me back. And that he tried to call my handphone but it kept going into voicemail (a few people called me to ask about accounting). Arrghh.. I asked him why was his phone unreachable and he explained that DiGi is like that...when you don't have credits left, your phone is unreachable. But I was gonna call him, meaning he didn't need credits to take my call! Arrrghhhh...stupid DiGi.
Lucky I wasn't really bothered to watch a movie in the 1st place, or that Changing Lanes wasn't a huge movie that should not be missed. But then my battery died becoz of all the calls I had, so my conversation with him also got cut.
I'm getting bored with this full set of accounts in front of me. A movie would have been good. Lunch at Burger King would have been good. Getting my Coldplay album and poster from Dit would've been good. Aihhhh..
I woke up to bEAuTifUL news today, bea-u-ti-ful news...
Radit messaged me saying that he got Coldplay's album for me from Singapore..and that a poster came with it too! *screams and hugs both my giant teddy bears under the comforter*
I've started on the full set of accounts needed to be done by Monday for my accounting assignment. Gosh, need to look at everything carefully otherwise I'll have a headache when the balancing aspect starts. As of this hour, Hajar, Sara, Aishath, Hui Min (!!), and JUST this Aity have called/messaged me, asking if I've done this this this or that that that. It's the 1st time we are completing a full set of accounts, right from the basic journals to the closing entries and the interim reports. It's worse than an exam. Everybody agrees - we seriously need to meet up in coll sometime during this week to discuss and count together hehe. Good luck to me.
Pathma, my Form 6 classmate called too. She's celebrating her 21st birthday this Saturday. Wheeee. Can't wait to meet the other former classmates and the Chit-Chatters. What's Chit-Chatters you ask? It was my gang in F6 - Me, Wern Shing, Seow Feng,Sheena, Eli and Ee Ling - the 1st three from SAB and the 2nd three from Peel Road Convent. Really mad gang, did everything together, was associated with each other. We somehow got the name when we entered an inter class trivia contest and was asked for a group name. I came up with Chit Chatters when the others looked at me, seeing how we are always chatting in class, either verbally or on paper (when the teacher is in). It's been months since all of us got together *smiles*.

Had a very interesting conversation with Damon last night. Somehow I felt guilty somewhat, for trying to change his view on life and how there's no use in living life to the max and all that since we all die in the end. I couldn't justify me believing in life and love, but I just do. Glad to know he didn't take it badly.
