Holidays over!

Time went by so fast. And now, the break is over! Oh well. Time to move on. Time to get serious in my studies. I hope I won't just say it, because I tend to not get serious. Hehe.

Just wanted to post a couple of pictures taken when I was still in Sabah.
(*Pictures from Kim:)*)


Inilah muka2 yang pergi gereja lambat Hihihihi...


Rakan2 lama

Alone...again!

Why am I always the lucky one to be stucked in this uncivilized part of the country while the others are enjoying themselves somewhere out there? A bit sarcastic there, I was just joking. Hehe. Yep, alone again. It's midterm break, and I'm alone in my cell. While others are enjoying themselves out there, I'm in the comfort of my room, trying to think what else is there to do to kill time aside from watching movies and staring at the empty computer screen. Hehe. Nasib baik dua kawan sejati saya berada di sini jugak, kalau tidak saya tidak tahu lah apa mo buat! Hehe.

Sometimes it's not too bad to be alone, but when you are really alone, you can really feel it. Not that I'm not used to be alone, I've been 'alone' this past few weeks anyway. I don't know, but I just feel that way. Ia adalah disebabkan oleh sebab-sebab tertentu yang hanya saya dan Tuhan faham, sebab manusia biasa,seperti saya,tidak mungkin dapat melihat dan memahami apa yang saya sedang rasa dan lalui. Setiap kali saya memikirkan pasal itu, saya akan cuba untuk mengeluarkan pikiran itu dari otak saya. Mungkin ini lah takdir hidup saya selagi saya berada di sini.

Hmm..it's just 10 p.m., what else should I do? Watch movies? Nah, too much of it already this past few weeks. Sleep? Still too early. Stare at the computer screen? Maybe.

Last night...

What a way to begin my holidays! Yesterday went just fine until we were held by the police last night. I went to Korat yesterday with the Malaysian guys, and all was well. We were there from 11 to 4 and we reached MC at around 5.30 or somewhere around there. Then, at 8.30 p.m. 4 of us went out to eat. We were planning to eat at pi Noi's, but then the place was full so we decided to go to Muak Lek instead. On our way there, it was perfectly fine - no road blocks, no police. After dinner, we were deciding whether to go the back way or the front way...well, assuming that there will be no road blocks or police if we use the front way, we decided on going through the front. But then, our assumption was wrong - way wrong. The police stopped us. Of course, I started to panic, but I pretended not to look panic in front of the police. So, all four of us acted calm. Luckily, we were not the only MCians there, Richard, Pisith and Nampheung were there too. Those of us who were not Thai pretended to not be able to speak and understand Thai, except for Richard though. Nampheung was a different case, she's a Thai but she pretended not to be one, instead she told the police that she was from Bangladesh! I laughed when she told me this!LOL!She said if she told the police that she was Thai, they will charge her more. Well, we were held for about 30 minutes (or more, I don't know) before we were allowed to go. Mark had to pay B200 for Steve's bike and my bike. It was a surprise and unexpected road block I suppose, because the police were opening the seats and checking the insides, probably looking for drugs or something? I don't know. Oh well, that was one experience and I don't want it to happen to me again. Hehe. I was 'traumatised' last night, I didn't have my ID with me and I didn't have my helmet on too, because no one thought that we were going to Muak Lek, and no one thought that there will be a road block because according to them, it rarely happens. One of the lucky nights for the police I guess - $$$!I guess I won't be driving to Muak Lek for a while! Hahhahah:D

I'm Buffy'ated'

Bad timing. That's all I can say. Hehe. Whhhyyyyy??!! Now I can't stop! This is bad.

Oh well. Moving on. So far I had 2 midterm tests, and both of them went well (I hope:)) except one of them really made me feel stupid and dumb after the test. Hehe. Now, I'm just relaxing for the weekend. Well. Not really relaxing as I have another test on Monday and 2 writing assignments and 2 reading assignments for one of my literature class!!!GRRRRR!!Oh, and to make things worst, I haven't done my double log entry for my theories class either! Hahahhahah~! So much for making a promise to myself that I would do things ahead of time for this semester. Yep. That's me. :)

Tomorrow will be an interesting day. I hope.

Happy Sabbath:)

p/s: Oh, and Edawn...salamat for stopping by my blog:)

"Tenjewberrymuds"

This is an email sent to our English for Tourism teacher and she shared it with us last Tuesday. Just thought that I would post it up here.

Tenjewberrymuds

To get the full effect, this message should be read out loud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' mean by the end of the conversation.

This has been nominated for the best email of 2005.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room service at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review.

Room Service (RS): "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Malam Kebudayaan

Malam Kebudayaan yang pertama untuk semester ini telah dilangsungkan di dewan Kiti-Tasannee pada malam hari Sabtu yang lepas. Malaysia telah diwakili oleh pelajar-pelajar dari Negeri di Bawah Bayu. Pelajar-pelajar tersebut yang terdiri daripada 4 'tanak wagu' dan 4 'sumandak' telah mempersembahkan tarian tradisional bangsa Kadazan-Dusun di Sabah, iaitu tarian yang dikenali sebagai tarian 'Sumazau', sambil diiringi oleh lagu 'Jambatan Tamparuli' yang dinyanyikan oleh Mark, seorang pemuda yang berasal dari Tamparuli. Walaupun tarian mereka tidak lama (lebih kurang 3 atau 4 minit), namun ia telah mendapat 'thumbs-up' (ka'd orang putih) dari beberapa guru yang hadir pada malam itu. Selepas tarian tersebut, sesi bergambar telah dilangsungkan di depan perpustakaan kolej itu (teda tempat lain! hahaha). Di bawah adalah antara gambar-gambar yang telah diambil sebelum dan selepas tarian. (Gambar sewaktu tarian akan di'upload'kan nanti:)).

We had so much fun dancing on Saturday night, walaupun the audience (seperti biasa) ketawa bila si Steve pangkis. Hehe. Tak pa. Yang penting, we had fun and we really enjoyed it! As Atama, in his song, sang:

So, come on everybody throw your hands up in the air
Do the Sumazau Dance like you just don't care
Makes you feel good nothing else can compare!

That was exactly what we did on stage - we danced the Sumazau like we just don't care! Hehe.
