Midterm Exams are Trying to SLAY My Head

I guess i haven't been sleeping much lately.. cuz i'm alwiz tired.. might be the consequences of midterm exams. Midterms are trying to slay my head inches by inches away. I don't how much further i can dodge unless i study harder. Sigh... somebody.. pleeeease give me some encouragement** RuShan shockingly told me i had "heavy eyebags" when she hit my head to wake me up when she saw me napping on the library table. Terkejut aku tau~!!! Aku seorang-seorang, tiba-tiba muncul si bedebah mai pukul aku punye kepala~!

I was in the library for so long that i lost track of time. I planned to go back at 3pm, take a very short nap, before heading to the Bukit Beruang badminton hall to help out my friend on the Smash Open. Eventually, i went back at 4.45pm, a much later time than i expected.

The Smash Master thingy was suppose to start at 6pm but CheeHaw was late. He told us that he'll come to fetch us at 5.30pm but me & JingPei waited at SFC for like.. 15minutes... but all thanx to Florence as she's there to accompany us with her crappings.. as always.. hehehe... We went there and did very very odd jobs which is out of my expectations. Saw those professionals played with experties and we go "awww... ahh... oohh..... woah.... *clap clap clap*". This was just the preliminary round. There's more to come tomorrow. And finals is on the day after tomorrow.

Reached home at around 10.30pm because after Smash Open, we both girls went to campus to shoot some hoops. Sigh.. long time din play liao... My hands are so rusty. We planned to jog around campus too.. but later on we felt stupid cuz it's already so late at night, and seeing two girls with long hair running around the campus field would be so spooOOOooky...
BOO~!!!

Not in the mood for writing... yet.

I'm so damn tired. Spent this whole week to study for today's midterm exam and i still feel that i did not do any good in the paper. I'm praying hard that i'll pass. I think i'll pass. Whatever. The most important thing is that today's paper is over and i have to start to concentrate on another paper already. Time... goes so fast that sometimes i wish there's more than 24 hours and there's not enough, i'll start cursing around and the most pitiful thing is that my pc is the one that will kena the most~! (pray.. oh pray.. **thank God that i'm NOT cursing people.. hahahaha...**).

Frankly, i'm not in the mood for writing.

Sleepiness is waiting to take over me;
oh my bed looks so comfy;
with my XiaoPan hugging me;
Oh yes, i AM sleepy.

Exercise...Exercise... I think i need a daily dose of it!

It's very tiring this week. Went back to Penang for 3 days to help my parents to move those big heavy furnitures. My parents don't have any sons, so i know that it's my responsibility to act as a son AND a daughter. Anyway, my sisters did help too. They actually help alot before i reach my home. They swept, they mopped, they cleaned, they etc. etc. Luckily they're there to help my parents out. If not, my parents would be panting out of breath.

And talking about out of breath, i had sore arms since Saturday. And it's still soring. Those badminton training are just my first class on Friday and i hope not to have sore arms after training a few more times. It's 1 semester since i've touched my racket. And i didn't go for swimming last break. Sigh.. That's just my laziness... cuz i should have exercised alot more.. but.. aiyo, lazy lar.. hehehe..

Yup. I've enrolled myself in the Badminton Workshop organized by my Uni but that's just to get my old self working. My level of badminton is not from point zero but i still feel that i should learn some of those basic steps to help myself to hit the shuttlecock more confidently, skill-fully, and speedily. I remembered once my dad told me that i alwayz hesitate to hit the shuttlecock, and when i hesitated, the shuttlecock will make its way to land lower, making it more difficult for me to hit back with speed and target. My sisters are far better than me in badminton, partly because they've taken a very serious badminton training during secondary from a professional coach. I've indirectly learned a few bits and pieces from them but i still find it not enough to satisfy myself. And my sisters have better stamina than me. They can run faster without breathing as heavy as me and i'll still be lagging behind them.. panting my breath away. Both of them are good in atheletics like 100m run, long jump, high jump, 'lontar peluru' thingy, u know.. those sports that we're suppose to take during secondary. Basically, they're better than me at sports. Period.

I just came back from the Annual Chinese New Year Extravaganza 8 (CNYE8) held in Emerald Park. Frankly, it was pretty boring because all those performance are all kind of the same as last year. One of my fren, TeikHong, even pointed out to me that it's still the same person who performed; same performance, same person. SIEN. The only part i enjoyed was the lion dance team from Segamat, Johor. The black & red lion stunned the spectators when it jumped from a high pole to another. And the food... aww... the food... TOTALLY, OBVIOUSLY, NOT WORTH IT!! And TOTALLY TASTED AWFUL! What can i say, i'm a pure Penangite.
La~La~La~~~ *singing***

My new house waiting for me in Sri Juru, BM, Penang. hehe... i juz can't wait * starting to get impatient ;-) *

It's already 5.00am and i'm still packing. BFN textbooks, financial calculators, scientific calculators, tutorials... Shesh~ i'm suppose to be sleeping by now. But blame me, blame me, blame myself. I should have packed earlier but... laziness took over me (*STOP GaspiNG! It's not something unusual =p ) . I've spent the whole day doing practically nothing, unless if you consider chatting, onlining & blasting music is something. *Guilty guilty* =(

My Dad phoned me last Monday night to tell me to go back for the house-moving ceremony. Yeap, i am moving. From Taman Sri Rambai to Taman Sri Juru. From a swampy area which will always flood whenever there's a heavy rain to a light-industry area which the traffic will always be jammed especially lunch & after office hours AND is quite on the highland.

I'm going back to Penang today... as in a later time, Will be catching the 8.30am Bas Wira to Melaka Sentral and from there, i'll take the domestic 24seats VIP bus home. Onthe ticket the bus is suppose to leave at 10am, but it's better to be early than late. So, i've done the math, and i estimated that i'll be reaching Pg at around 5 something pm. Another long day & a long journey back to Penang. Or rather back to BM! Hahaha... Gonna drop off at the Juru toll house, and my Dad will fetch me from there.. Gosh, remind me to give my Dad a miss call when i reach Ipoh!

Feeling a little bit hungry now.. damn! How am i suppose to sleep with a juz-filled-up stomach??!! Sigh... i think i've gotta live with today, or if not i don't think i'll be getting my precious beauty sleep anymore.

Be back on Tuesday!
zzZZZzzzZZZzzzzz......

Finally... done on the chatterbox..

I've been trying to settle those so-called 'bad-id' thingy on my Chatterbox for quite some time, and i hate HTML stuff. I've taken a short course on HTML long time ago.. like when i was in form 4, but.. aih.. that time was useless!! I've forgotten e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. I think i should write it in caps, but.. never mind that. Luckily at that time, the school sponsored the whole bunch of us F.O.C. And obviously i didn't do a good job out of that seeing the outcome of the present. But now, after 'mata sepek-ing' at those numourous alphabets, I finally did it! DIY. Yahoo to myself!
*sigh...* super "happy"...
Now finished on my chatterbox, i'm gonna start on those pics... i dunno why.. i juz can't seem to upload any pics.. Is it something wrong with what i do? Or is it something wrong with the web-hosting? Or is it something wrong with the blogs again? Oh, I dunno...
*sigh...* super blur...
And maybe after that, i can start changing my blog into a fresh look all over again~ hmmm.... what colour should i put in the background?
*sigh...* super "free"...

Asian Tsunami Alert!!!

Recent news over the BBC, CNN, NewsAsia flooded everyone's woresome. Damn tsunami hit Malaysia too. Very rare indeed. I used to think that Malaysia is such a safe place, in terms of no volcanoes, no twisters, no alien kidnappings. It all changes one Sunday morning.

At 9.25am, my Dad called suddenly to ask if i am OK. I was totally sleeping like a log. Then he asked whether did i felt the tremour. I was like, what tremour?? I was having such a beautiful dream, and BOOM, tremour??!! Later my Dad told me that there was a jolt of earthquake. And i was like, oh ok. so wat? I know i sounded non-chalant but in truth, i was still in a blur case. And also my Dad loves to joke, and i thought he was joking at that time too.

I hung up & try to continue my sleep. But i still find that something is so so wrong somewhere. My Dad wouldn't call in the early morn just to joke about things like that. So i drag myself up, switch on my pc. And WHAM~! It really is an earthquake! At first it measured at 8.5 on the Richter Scale, then another report said it was 9.0! It's the most disasterous in 40years time.
It was an underwater earthquake, only 10miles below the oceanfloor near Acheh, Indonesia, which caused a large tsunami to hit Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and as far as Maldives. I called my Dad again to report on my findings. Eventually, my Mom had already switch on the Astro watching CNN Asia back at home. No wonder they know the news faster than me. Yea, yea, advantages of Astro.

I asked my Mom about her youngest sister. My youngest aunt lives in a high-rise apartment in Dato'Keramat, i think that's what the place is called. ="> *shy shy lah... forgotten the name**
Found out that she's safe, she ran out of the building at once when the tremour came. Lesson learned: Never stay in a high-rise building. My house's cool, don't worry guys. I'm living on the mainland, so i guess that's what saves my house from the tsunamis. Thanx again guys, for your concern. You guys are the greatest~! MUUUUAXX~~!!!

All sorts of donations are being carried out, both in MMU and private organisations outside, all donated to the victims of the tsunami. So, everybody, please do your part and help the helpless. And surely your kindnes will be repaid in the future.
