Brands Through Exam Days

27th - 31st DEC 2010
Almost every day of exam period i slept late about 4am or 5.
To keep my self alert and concentration, Brands - Essence of Chicken helped.
Whether it was only mental reaction or true effect, i don't know.
English paper did not require any memorization thus no Brands was needed for it.
3 bottles for the rest 3 days.
taken during the last day preparation for socialization at 3am...

Brands... try 1???

Christmas Study

25/12/2010
Christmas in Kampar, a dead town suxx!!!
Two more days to the 1st examination paper - English.
In fact, my friends asked me out on Christmas Eve to celebrate as well as countdown but please, exam was 2 days away, i can't!

Oh Gosh~ This was the 1st time ever i passed Christmas away from home and family. Previously, almost all Christmas seasons my family and I will go for a holiday but now things changed, and i hate it!
Last year, we went to Genting Highlands and spent about 5 days on top of the hill. That was what i called Christmas, a Merry Christmas.
On the contrary, what i got for Christmas this year was lecture notes accompanying me through day and night. Almost all degree students have gone back to their family and started sem-break-ing. The roads and streets are damn quiet. It seems lonely right? Ya, indeed ya it was lonely.

That night, Liang asked me to help him print some documents so as i went down from my hostel to meet Liang, i saw him talking to Sheng How. Sheng How bought a box of chocolates from the mini-market below my hostel. We talked for more than half-an-hour, standing, i mean STANDING. Damn...leg was painful... Oh ya, to clarify, we were talking about exam, we predicted what would come out and we were asking each other for tips. As well as expressing our stress gained from so and so subjects...

After talking and after i have printed the examination slip for Liang, i suggested to study together at the Danish Office opposite my hostel. We did not know what to study for English paper so we did our early preparation for the paper after English, that is ECS.
sohai ah liang study with his eyes covered.
peace~
Err... to CLARIFY myself AGAIN ya... we took these photos NOT because we were free... arrhh... i mean I, was FREE, but i wanted to make my year 2010 Christmas sealed in my brain.
That is to say, to remind me that being with our family must be appreciated, not to wait until the moment we were left without them.
Besides, studying during Christmas was 1st in my lifetime since i was born. Usually, Christmas is for enjoying and to be with love ones.
Sad to say, i was stuck with ECS lecture notes, as i remembered, i was only at lecture 6 and there are about 5 lectures more to go.
no post...just smile lo...
I have to go through this again for the next 3 years, but i hope not during degree...
I was alone but then Christmas was in my heart with my family...

Christmas In My Heart
by Sarah Connor

verse 1
Every time we say goodbye
There's something breaking deep inside
I tried to hide my feelings to keep myself controlled
But somehow I can't deny what's deep inside my soul

I've been always on the run
So many different places, having fun
But like a river always knows just where to flow
Now that December comes I feel like coming home

chorus
*It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do

Tomorrow may be grey
We may be torn apart
But if you stay tonight
It's Christmas in my heart*

verse 2
I don't know how to stay alive
Without your touch without you by my side
Just like the desert's always waiting for the rain
Oh baby, I wish the holy night would come again

Repeat chorus
Everywhere I go and everyone I know
Is making lots of wishes for old Santa Claus
But all I really need tonight
Is for you to come and hold me tight
What is Christmas without you here by my side
I need you tonight

Repeat chorus

videoed in Meetoto scene.

From this post,
PEOPLE,,,,,, be reminded that...
copy & paste from above: remind me that being with our family must be appreciated, not to wait until the moment we were left without them.

Beach Day

20/12/2010
Do you know where this is? - the beach.
Brief introduction:
If there's one place in Penang that has its generous share of foreign visitors, it would have to be Batu Ferringhi. Aside from Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi is arguably the second most visited destination on Penang Island.

It's difficult to put a finger on what it is exactly that draws repeat visitors to Batu Ferringhi each year. Like Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi is a great place for visitors to enjoy the good food and great shopping. But Batu Ferringhi also has some of the nicest beaches on Penang Island.(click HERE for more)

Brief history:
The name Batu Ferringhi itself attests historically to Penang's brushes with several different foreign powers, including the British, the Dutch and the Portuguese. Some locals believe that the word Ferringhi was derived from a foreign language (perhaps Portuguese) which refers to 'foreigners'.

Batu Ferringhi has long been known for its scenic seaside panorama. Like other seaside destinations such as Cherating, Batu Ferringhi has been frequented by tourists for decades. (click HERE for more)

Batu Ferringhi, 2 hours we were there - dad, sis & me.i believe i can fly...

Actually we did not intend to go to the beach earlier. It was after lunch when dad told Tes to soak her scaly fingers and foot inside the sea water, perhaps it would help to get them well.
But i took it as a stress release before the final examinations start after a few more days.
As we got there, we saw a tent full of Malays carrying our some activities, a foreign couple and 3 or 4 Malay kids. Not to leave out, there was also 1 Malay couple taking photos in bridal outfit.
Maybe Malays culture, taking bridal shots at the beach. I want that too...it's nice isn't??perfect background contra...
Tes & I played with waves and sand at the same time, nuts, taking self-shot photos...
The best part is yet to come...
On the beach, a jelly fish could kept us busy for some moment, involving the participation of those kids. The funniest thing was the foreign couple's reaction...

Dad spotted a jelly fish on shore...Wow...to my surprise because this was my 1st time ever to see a jelly fish.
It's really a jelly body and yark! stinks!
Dad warned Tes & I not to go near it as it can make us itchy.

The Best Part

However, teenagers like us tend to try something that goes against the order of elders. So we attempted to disturb the jelly fish.

Tes & I started hunting for something hard enough to make it get it's move hell out of that current longitude & latitude.
Seashells, sticks and tree trunk were thrown.

No matter what we threw on it, it still would not move. So we decided to bury it with the help of those kids too.

After it was fully covered, i was too cheeky so i searched for two small tree sticks to make a cross.

Tes & I plucked some leaves as no flowers could be found aroung.
Followed on by writtings - R.I.P (Rest In Peace) Mr. Jellyfish.

Remember, i said the funniest part??
When the foreign couple walk passed the jelly fish, they stopped for a few second with their eyes staring at the 'grave'. They looked at each other and became numb for some time, then walked away with smiles.

Dad saw their facial expression. He barely could describe that. But i understood.
What i could do was....hahahAHAHA~~~~~~~~~~~~~

X Y1S3 Time Table

16/12/2010
After Micro Macroeconomics Quiz, Sandra, Carol, Json, Yun Bin, Mindy, Jane and I went to Mc D to celebrate our success of ECS Sketch. We reached McD at 6.30pm and returned home about 7.30pm.
Before the registration line was opened, i was so nervous and was afraid that i might not get the time i wanted. I used the computer at my house owner's photostat shop, hoping the line will be better than previously i went to cyber cafe and did shit nothing. Desmond, a tenant of the same house owner of mine currently in Foundation In Science semester 2, taught me some 'techniques' on how to fight for the time slot. I knew him a few months ago during World Cup 2010, we watched World Cup together and started talking. He said only one window used will do and I followed.
I successfully got what i planned. I even helped my friends that failed to access to the server. I finished helping Yun Bin and Json with their time tables over midnight 12 and washed my clothes to prepare to go home the next day.

My time table was set to be off-ed on Fridays and start class late on Mondays so i will be in time to get to school from the KTM Station. However nothing is perfect, i have 2 days early (8am) class, so lazy to get up from my cozy bed, and there are too many intervals in between classes besides, 2days of late (6pm) classes. I could say, i am satisfy with it as i have friends with me for all classes except English Communication lecture.
