Just some pictures from last Saturday. I went to Dantai with Daron and his family last Sabbath and it was great having the chance to go there again after so long. We had a nice time, remembering the past when we were still high school students, going there for Pathfinder camps. Some of the ghost stories recalled, our adventures walking from Tenghilan to Dantai (hiking honor), recalling where ORION used to pitch tents, eating acar like the good old days - sweet, sweet memories! We walked along the beach while the AY had their honor classes eventhough it was a really hot day, we didn't care! Hehe. :D


I miss this place!


What a sad, sad sight. *Sigh. A sea turtle dead on shore. Its head no longer attached to it, probably brutally taken for its beak. That's the first time I've seen such sad scene there. I hope not to see anymore the next time I visit this beach.


Dasron, where are you going? ...Daron disappearing into the light. Hehe.

More pictures to come.

I wish we could do it one more time! I miss those days :(

Anyway, Happy Sabbath! :D

It's been four days since I got back. The first two days were spent doing nothing at home, and I finally went out on the third day. And today is the fourth day - I'm all ALONE at home, thinking of something to do. Watch TV? Nah, nothing's nice on TV at this time. Watch movie? I've watch all of the movies my brother got here and I don't have RENT. Damn. Clean the house? Sounds like a good idea, but I'm l.a.z.y.

By the way, both my mum and bro asked me to help them correct their students' work because I had so much free time. I'm having fun but it's also frustrating. I wonder whether I was like them when I was their age? Hmm. Sometimes their answers make me laugh too. Some of them like to add some extras - like including a Malay translation of the English words. Here's an example:

Selfish - penjual ikan ... oh my goodness!
Anger - sudut ... the word is "angle" students!

I'm going to be correcting my mum's students' essays later in the afternoon. I hope it's not as frustrating as checking the 13-year-olds' work.

Yesterday was a good day. Me, Daron and my cousin went jalan-jalan to our old school. First we went to STPS and met Steve. Haha, so weird to see him as a teacher there! I met up with the other teachers who were MY teachers back when I was in primary school. Then, we proceded to SASS, lepak at the library, ate at the canteen, and talked to the teachers. As usual, I got the "wah, tambah sihat oh kau kan!" from some of the teachers. Whatever! Dagnamit! Anyway, we had a small party at Shaun's house too! Fiona and Chervie came all the way from KK and it was good to see them! We had Shaun's famous chicken fried rice, bbqed chicken, potato salad, brownies and ice cream! mmmMMMM, yum yum!

I'm getting hungry now. Lemme go to the kitchen and find something to eat.


Have a good day! :D

I'm home! I'm back where I belong! Hehe. Despite the 2 hour delay, we managed to 'do' something to kill time. Yes. 8 hours. We left the campus at 6.19 a.m. and reached Don Muang International Airport at around 8. Our flight was supposed to be at 1435, but it was delayed until 1610. So, yes, imagine, we had to wait for 8 hours! It was worse than when we have to wait for 7 hours in Brunei two years ago. What we did? Hmm. Watched "Just Friends" (without sound, I mean there was, but it was tooooo soft) and played "lap lap pu" (card game that I finally understood how to play).

Well, I'm home and that's all that matters. It's 2 p.m. and all I did the whole morning was ehm, laze around, feed the dog, watch "Life Without Limbs", watch Worlds Apart (love it!) and ehm, online.

And now, my brother wants to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, so I'll resort to watching whatever's available on TV. Hehe.

So happy to be home and I hope time will pass slowwwwly!

Have a good day folks!

One down, one to go

Yes. One down, one to go. The hard one down, the not-so-hard one is tomorrow. The exam for English Usage this morning was challenging. At 8.30 a.m., the auditorium was full of students. Then slowly, one by one went out. Then an hour before 11.30 a.m., the only students left were on Row B. I left the auditorium at 11.10 a.m. One of the longest time I've taken to complete an exam paper. Oh well, it's done. No more English Usage after this. Phew!

Semantics is tomorrow. At least we were given specific topics to study, so I think it's gonna be okay. I wouldn't want to be over confident though.

For now, I son't want worry about Semantics. I need some sleep. Now.

A couple of funnies

Little Tommy was a smart little boy. Little Tommy was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question "Tommy, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun how many would be left?" "None.", replied Tommy, " ’cos the rest would fly away." "Well, the answer is four," said the teacher. "But I like the way you are thinking." Little Tommy then said, "I have a question for you now. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one licking her cone, the
second biting her cone, and the third one sucking her cone, which one is married?" "Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone?" "No," said Little Tommy, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger. But I like the way you are thinking."

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the
prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits. The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your arse without any _expression on your face or you'll be eaten." The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed. The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed. The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."

Our teacher said that the final exam tomorrow is supposed to be fun. Uhm, fun? FUN?!?! I'll try. Semantics will be on Friday and I have a good feeling that I will pass that one. Somehow, I found Semantics to be easier than English Usage. :D

Well, wish me luck. And good luck to those who will be sitting for their exams tomorrow and Friday!

I changed it to five Shiz :D

World Cup finally over!

ITALY won the World Cup!

Yays!! I was never a fan of Italy before but now I guess I am. I used to cheer for England only but after this year's World Cup, I think I'm gonna go for England (yes, still for good 'ol England), Germany and Italy.

The match between Italy and France was good, although I admit it that after Zidane scored in the 7th minute I had a little doubt that Italy could break the 0. But they did, and boy was that a thriller for Paps, JJ and me! Leaps, shouts of "yesssss!" and high-fives were exchanged between the three of us while Vivian and Lorena (cheering for France) were glued to the sofa. Hehe. 90 minutes gone and the score was 1-1. Extra time - still 1-1. I was starting to feel nervous inside because first, I hate it whenever the winner of a game is decided through penalty shoots and second, I know that Fabien Barthez is a good goalkeeper. By this time, Pappu was standing up, so was JJ. Then all of us stood up, unable to plant our asses on the couch no longer. When David Trezeguet missed his shot, we couldn't help it but to shout 'yesss!' And then when Barthez failed to save Fabio Grosso's shot, shouts of 'yessss!' that I believed were twice as loud as the previous ones could be heard in the quiet and stillness of the early morning. Haha, I think we woke half of the neighbourhood this morning! Hopefully, nobody complains. Hehe.

After the match, we were too excited to go to sleep right away. But then eventually one by one fell asleep, except me. I had decided to go back to the dorm at 6 a.m. so I stayed awake. I thought that I would be able to sleep at 6.30 a.m. but the door was not yet opened at 6 so I walked and talked with God on the tracks, enjoying the fresh morning breeze and the smell of the plants wet with dew. It was fun, and I finally got to sleep at 7.30 a.m.

I woke up at 12 noon and went online to find some information for my presentation. I haven't eaten anything yet and it's already 6 p.m. Well, at least I get to accomplish something today.

Lazy, lazy, lazy....

I haven't updated my blog for almost a month! Lazy, lazy, lazy. Lagipun, there's nothing interesting about my life nowadays. I'm just counting the days to go back to Sabah - 13 more days!! Yays! This time, my time back in Sabah will be more syok! My cousin who married an American pastor will be going back home to Sabah, and the nice thing is they have a kid!! Caleb's the name and I've been communicating with her for almost two months even though I have never been close to her before. Thanks to the internet for reconnecting me to her! I just received an email from her, and she updated me on Caleb. He took his first steps last Saturday! He'll be turning 1 in 19 days! Hehe! Can't wait to meet them!

I'm watching Animal Planet (finally!) right now. Too lazy to go to the library to study.

Anyway, I'm lazy to type already.

Good day!
