Semester 3 has finally ended. Despite all that happened … I think it was the best sem altogether.

The mpi week was awesome ..and we got third place =) .. I was on crutches for a week … and various other events .. which i don’t quite remember .. plus Fasya , Wahida , Fiza and Mayura were the best thing that had ever happened to me in MCB .
I’ve no idea what to expect for this sem’s grade.

SEMESTER THREE IS OVER ^_^ !!!!!!!!! one sem left . ONE more sem.

strangely .. that notion is sort of saddening.

I'm thinking of applying to these 3 universities . I haven't written any of the admission essays yet . So ....

1. University of Wisconsin , Madison.
2. University of Texas, Austin.
3. University of Michigan , Ann Arbor.

btw, laziness pays . painfully.

so be it.

sometimes , when i look back this past 2 years . I'm not sure if I've just found myself a new identity. or i've just lost myself completely.

I've learnt that just because u try to accept people for who they are and actually be there for them when they need you does not necessarily mean they'll do the same to you.
Just because you try to blend into the community you live in doesn't mean they'll allow you to be a part of them .

You learn that there are actually more "talam dua muka" people out there claiming to be your friend when you are practically their number 1 geek on their gossip list.

I wrote this raya card to someone i've liked since orientation week . but i don't have the guts to mail it to him .

i just couldn't bring myself to be part of the "gedik" girls in my college .
they're like flirting with all the guys they meet .get all manja and act as if they're most popular b**** in campus. And some of them actually judged what kind of person you are by your IB grade.aiyo .. talk about mentality.

if I'm left out because i can't be part of them . then be it.

On a lighter note ..

I've gotten 1000 words on my EE :) still 3000 words to go .. and I'm leaving for London this monday =) it's my bro's graduation at Imperial . it's ironic sometimes .. he's pursuing Astrophysics and i'll prolly be doing Geophysics ..
sorang study langit , sorang study bumi .. XD lol

Recently in US , there's been uproar on China-made products . Be it toys , cribs and mostly children-related products .

Sometimes it makes me wonder if the whole notion is actually an indirect trade barrier done discretely by the US . In other words , one way of decreasing demand for China's exports .Lately , most american manufacturing companies have been employing Asian workers - majority from China . As they cost half to be hired and pretty much more efficient than hiring American workers . So , perhaps due to this frustration that the demand for American employment itself has beeen declining , tarnishing the image of the successor country seems like a handy way of curbing a certain problem .

In the economics world , a simple shift to the demand curve can cause the whole nation to suffer sometimes .

less demanded by the consumers
less will be supplied by the suppliers
to cut down the supply means they need less workers

if demand drops even more , some manufacturing companies might have to shrink down their business . or in severe cases , gulung tikar .

unemployment rise
government have to supply higher amount of social benefit ( for the jobless , homeless). tax rate could increase ..
crime rate could increase if things becomes critical.

I mean , of all the products to choose . One concerning health would be the highest regarded in the sense of importance . What more a child's health . A parent's best asset .

After choosing an issue to attack on , the rest is in the media's hand .

First was the lead paint .

"Today, Mattell issued a company apology to the entire nation of China when it became clear that the amounts of lead paint that were in the recalled toys did not exceed CPSC limits. Instead, the problem lay tiny magnets in the toys that children could swallow and get sick from - which was a design problem on Mattell's end, not China's."

but the damage's done . no ?

getting through

2007-08-20T00:07:00.000+08:00

either you like it or not you'll still have to go through it .. Might as well make the best out of it ,no ?

assumptions

2007-06-14T23:52:00.000+08:00

u know something . why is it , when u put up a picture of you and a cute guy or a cute girl , it'll be like OWWHH .. we know u're sooo into her/him . but when u put up a picture of you with an ordinary guy/ girl .. ppl would just ignore . like yea ? owh that .

and everyone would just assume that you two are just good friends .

funny how things are , ain't it ?

but then again i might be wrong . another overgeneralization ?

of an old woman in McD

2007-06-14T15:20:00.000+08:00

I was having a cheeseburger in McD when I saw this old woman eating alone , opposite to the table with a little toddler cuddled by her family .. imagine if God had made litte children ugly and ogre-like instead of cute and lovable .I mean , other than the fact children can be smelly and annoyingly loud , we love them because they're just simply adorable .. and as we aged , fine, most will become more attractive but we'll all come to an age when you'll start to prune up and start balding . But what if the opposite happens . Would we then just loathe kids and start loving old folks more ?

Just like how dozens of movies makes it seems that you're only beautiful and deserves attention if you're 50 pounds and six feet two . blergh .like the Korean movie , 200-pound Beauty .

The other day I was messaging with my KMB english teacher , being concerned with the whole sms-lingo issue and thought she'd be bothered by it , I typed my sms with proper spelling and proper sentence structure . but her replies were all shorthands and sms-lingoed -__-" .

KMB

2007-06-07T20:37:00.000+08:00

Being the goody senior of KMB and a one-year IB ~~victim~~ survivor , I guess it would be helpful to give a hand to my soon-to-be fellow ~~slave servants~~ juniors

Guide to Juniors heading to Kolej MARA Banting , Malaysia

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Mara_college_banting

and incase you're wondering what an IB is ..

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate

"Students who undergo the IB experience a whole world of colorful feelings. The calm and reserved start to have very strong feelings for intercepting and burning IB exam papers, the strong can have feelings of wanting to blow up all IBO regional offices, the truly violent can actually attempt to do so themselves."

I should go into the tourism business ;D . hahah ..

___________________________________________________________________

nah .. KMB isn't that bad of a place . You'll love it there . though the term "love" can be very subjective .. and you might start to finally love this place only after 2 years of being there . yea . i know . that's when the IB programme is over .

The best things about KMB is the people . and Totally dedicated teachers , you can always count on them .

and oh yea . If you love nature , you'll love it here .

I'm not saying that IB is the best or the worst . Honestly , everything has its own pros and cons . And since we're all sponsored scholars , might as well not be too choosy about it .

All the best !

Cupcakes and Muffins

2007-06-07T09:22:00.000+08:00

I'd like to share with you one of the biggest embarassment I had to endure during Sem 2 . It all happened on one fine day of " PenPal Revelation Day" ...

You see , the language dept of our college had this way of promoting english proficiency among Year 1 by having a penpal project .. We were only given the codes of our penpals and our identities were supposed to remain unknown for both parties . And basically u are allowed to torture your penpal with whatever crappings you wish to write in the letter .

Monday is the day when we have to submit out letters to be posted . Thursday is the collection day . Anyway , fast forward to why this activity is such a painfully memorable one is . because . nvm . i don't . think . it's . wise . to .continue .

On the revelation day , my penpal which has always been assumed to be a young lass , turns out to be a guy ! =__= . Ok lah . that doesn't sound too bad . I mean , I talk about pretty much the same thing to both gender .plus equal level of respect . k . maybe nicer to girls . since they deaserve it more . but anyway , he said that he used to play netball in high school . which is actually true . and he kept playing on the safe side by not sounding like neither a girl nor a guy .

Since I thought he was a girl , out of total insanity I suggested , hey ! why don't we address each other as " Cupcake" and "Muffin" instead of RIA 27 and SEE 15 . I'm the muffin though .

Once the whole revelation day is over , damn malu wei =_= . It doesn't help that I bought him a very girlish bangle with cute pink bells that chimes . haha . ya . forced him to wear that though .

I can't believe I've been calling a guy who used to be some random stranger " cupcake" . ew . ew. he's not even my bf for heaven sake !

the starting of each letter ," hey cupcake :) " .

I can just die now .

So , this being an educational blog , I would state that , the moral of this story is ,

1. If he doesn't sound like a girl nor a guy , and it seems too rude to ask if " are you sure you're a girl because you don't sound much like one ? hire CIA or ACA to find out about it for you .

and oh yea ... NEVER assume .

Kek Lok Tong reunion

2007-06-05T14:21:00.000+08:00

So me and Amilia decided to drop by at the BRATs reunion at Gua Kek Lok Tong today .. Despite living in Ipoh since I was practically a baby , we just discovered today that there are 3 caves in that area ... anddddd ... we went to the wrong cave initially =_= malunye... sesat for an hour before finally meeting Nurmalis and the other STAR crew . I guess I should probably stop offering to be people's tour guide when they come to Ipoh - but if you're up for some misadventure . call me :D

It wasn't really a reunion actually , it was more of the finale of the whole Youth project . But langkah kanan coz we come just in time for a vegetarian lunch and to yum cha :P .

Not many pictures taken though ..

Amilia drove us in her chic Savvy . wOOt ~ XD .. her driving is better than mine . but i think mine is safer :P .. hehe .. kidding ! didn't snap any pics with u :(

Was totally unexpected to meet anyone much . but guess who were there :D !!

with Shalini dear =)

Kim Manta !

Some of the old brats were there though .. Jonathan , Jin Young , Aaron , Wei Ric and Miux :)

John Kam + Paul Kam + Ju Eng + Malis + Unidentified ppl ( nah .. u can see Mei Ching and Phui Yee at the back )

Paul : I remember you ! you're from the elephant expedition right ?
Me : Yea *beams*
Paul :So how many elephants have you saved since the camp ?
Me : MMmmm ... mmmm ... Oooonnneee ?
Paul : *laughs* Yea lah . who ? your bf ar ?? *imitates a walking elephant*
Me : -__-" .. haha

but they really looked like they had a wonderful time during the 5 days expedition :) .. wish I had went for it though .. it'll be good for my CV :P

Ju Eng said there's gonna be another Youth Project around this August . Make yourself available this time ya !

thanks fiona

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

ToK camp

2007-06-02T23:48:00.000+08:00

It's a great feeling to know that 2 semesters are already behind me :D . really . and Sem 3 is supposed to be the most jam-packed in the history of an IB student . I hope they were exaggerating when they said that . I'm boring , I know .

This should be my first blog post in God-knows-how-many-lightyears , and the whole thing about the password protected blog was nothing . really . just that i don't have the heart to delete the old blog with all the personal stuffs. Anyway .. yea . life

Anyway , ToK camp rocked BIG time :D . I think we have the best combination of groupmates . Zain , Sher May , Pengeran , Zaki , Wan Farah , Athiray , Sey , Ain and yours truly .

me loikes ;-)

Of black / white magic and galloping horses : Zain , Sher May and I . the ride back to college was pretty memorable . the havoc on the bus hv our names written all over it .. hahah .

Sweethearts <3>

Arina and Mas : after the talk on art appreciation .

Nizam , Amilia , Cheryl and Sher May . After 3 days of T.o.K-ing . such a waste that A levels students can't have ToK classes . . .

For some reasons , the camp really reminded me of the usual BRATs camp. never thought all these crazy people were looming around the campus ground . Zain , Sher May, Zaki and Pengeran especially . And we had this Moot Court thing .. somthing like a play-act law drama session . The case was pretty interesthing . I was Susan Smart . basically the 25- year old lass who murdered her 45-year-old friggingly rich boyfriend due to excessive abuse from him . Something to do with Battered Woman Syndrome :P . hahah .. it was something ;-) . wish i had video taped it .

but we won the case though . escaped with manslaughter instead of first degree murder ^_^ .
i dunno how can that sound like a good thing . but yea . Susan Smart live =) .

just that . a post to signify that i'm still alive , kicking and well XD .

this blog is just a continuation of my previous blog . so i guess there's no need of much intro . Some of my college friends found out about my original blog . apparently they google people online for fun . yea ..and i don't think i can be completely honest in my previous blog . it sucketh to feel restrained in your own private space . so . voila :) The birth of a new blog . well . technically it's not new NEW new . nvm .
