“life will be better in spring”

December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 June 2010 July 2010 August 2010 September 2010 October 2010 November 2010 December 2010 January 2011 February 2011 March 2011 April 2011 May 2011 June 2011 July 2011 August 2011 September 2011 October 2011 February 2012

I've been blogging quite frequently nowadays. Afterall, who cares. I've nothing better to do. I actually dislike the fact that I'm going back to books and assignments tomorrow?

Oh btw, my new wardrobe is coming tomorrow. Kinda excited. Extra space for clothesss.=DD

Nothing makes me happier than shopping. *sigh. I know I spend a lot of $$. Need to find another hobby, probably reading and back to my photography?

I'm glad that I never make that U-turn though I saw one on my way. Am I happy for not making the U-turn? Probably yes, If I did, I would be back to the square one. Maybe I will, if I happen to see another turn later on the road.=)

I am actually quite excited/worried/inarticulate bout what's gonna happen tomorrow. Afterall, its just attending class(erm, I mean lecture) with new people, new environment. Hope its gonna be fun.

And my clothes are lying all around my room. All thanks to our not-so-good planning. We plan to dismantle the old one today and never thought of where to place all our stuffs. we should have ask them to come today and my room is in a total mess.

*I'm hungry*. I want snowflakes dessert. I bet I'm gonna miss it a lot.=(

When you go into a new place and you feel like a total complete stranger, follow these tips.

Rule #No1.
Make sure you're smilling most of the time, not to the extend people thought that you just came out from Hospital Bahagia. Just a plain sincere smile will do the job, you'll never know, the person you smiled to today may be the person that you'll share your joy and sorrow(I mean besties).

and when you smile, even those people in cafeteria offer to help you to get your empty plates too.=DD

Rule #No 2.
Intro yourself, and which course you're from. I know its basic, but I guess in this huge place, you may not be able to know all your coursemates.

Rule #No 3.
Ask when you're not sure. Seniors are helpful. More like they are like our mummies and daddies? Esp when you see a leng zai one. Hahahahaha

Rule #No 4.
Know the basic places in your uni. Etc? Library and toilets and cafeteria. I am actually pretty lost in the first 2 days. At least I know how we could exit the library from level 3. and there's actually 3 exits? connecting to this building and that. (I definately miss INTI one building concept). Lol. But its never fun to walk from level 1 to level 8.

Rule #No 5.
Never forget where you come from. Be proud of where you come from, regardless whether your college is not so well known or whatsoever. You'll realise that place brought you up to who you are today.

Rule #No 6.
Embrace yourself. Don't be shy or down or whatsoever. Or whatever language barrier and etc.

P:S. I just realised that the people you know for a very long time doesn't mean the he/she would be the person who will move along with you throught your life. Expect the unexpected. The person that you dislike now may be the person sitting beside you a year later having lunch with you, or may be the person you'll share most of your things with.


Looking at my hectic uni timetable drives me crazy. Sometimes I am not able to tell what I want. I know uni life is not all about books and studying. New things, new friends and yes, sticking to your laptop for hours just for assignment.

You know, the word assignment sounds like a stranger to me. I've never done assignments except for Stats chapter by chapter(homework I call it, assignment would be a more canggih term). And Maths 'assignment', which is again 1 piece of paper with some past years questions. Nevertheless, there would be no assignment for chemistry and biology.

Back then, its just studying, studying and studying.

Some sneek peeks from my senior who brought us for campus tour. Part of our course is to learn how each components of the ingredients affect the texture of the product and etc. And we're learning how to make our own candies. Oh wait, its not ALL about COOKING and Opening a restaurant. Its food science.

I should be taking an elective from engineering that would help me in my course and yeah, marketing too. I hope i can cope up with it. I am aiming for at least 2 HDs.(I hope)

Uni is starting and the timetable is freaking hectic. I love how my A-levels timetables were last time. At least its rare to have class beyond 4pm.

And now? 4 pm, 5 pm with a few one hour breaks in the middle.

Its just orientation, and I already lost around 2 lbs. No joke, its even more effective than running on the threadmill for 2 hours.

I am already dead tired. I couldn't imagine how med students timetable would be. Hectic till there's no time to breathe? Probably, I dunno. Hopefully I'll enjoy my uni life. Now I'm looking forward for breaks. I miss A levels.=(

I'm so lost right now.

Why? I don't know. Probably stepping into a new place makes me feel like a total complete stranger(I need time to aclimitise with the surrounding). Lotsa things running through my mind. Like seriously a LOT.

Am I leading to the right way?
Did i choose the right course?
Will I be happy with the way I choose or regret at the end of the day?

I didn't expect this to happen to me though. When it comes to decision making, I'm weak at my knees.



Leaving high school was tough. Years of friendship and bonding and every place tells a story.

Entering Pre-U was fun. Knowing new people and every place tells a story. The class, the office, the cafeteria and the lift, all has its own stories. I could list the details, the tiny things that lift up my mood that particular moment.

Leaving pre-u was a must thing to do for all students. but when I stepped back to the place where I spend most of my time studying, the library, the class, the lift. The incident that happened and ruined around a month of my studies realising that its the stupidest thing a friend could do to another friend.

Oh well, fingers crossed. I need to relax.

Lets just see how things go tomorrow.


Its freaking adorable but expensive.=.=

Firstly, I feel damn LOST right now. I LOST my SPM Certificate. Congrats me if you hate me. Which means I got to make a police report, and go all the way to Putrajaya to get my certificate.

Second, I wasted 5 bucks for the PTPTN thingy as my yahoo mail is SUSPENDED for I dunno what reason. Maybe I didn't log in for a super long time.

Third, I am thrilled+excited+curious+scared for orientation next week. Glad that I'm not in public uni. Combining with the faculty of engineering and IT I think.

4th, I got my Ixus 120is. Initially I thought I kena conned by the bright pure colour LCD. But well, not really lah. What do you expect a 1K camera do for you. Obviously I get a better picture with a new camera la.

Iysh, I feel so lost now ok?

I thought I moved on, but I looked back and I think I made a U-Turn. Does this mean my effort all these while are wasted or this actually tell me not to give up?

Indulge into the CNY delicacies like usual, but practising self control is a torture. Not too strict but I think I don't feel the New Year mood though this year. More to critics that I made my new year mood became worst.

Things like 'wahhh, you're so tall and huge ar??'
The thing that pissed me off even more is one of my close cousin was like telling me 'ey, lose some weight la, how if next time your THIN boyfriend cannot hug your waist?'

~!@#$%^&*()

1stly I take it as a joke as its equally as well as a way to humilate me(Not to forget that my cousin is those typical super thin guy who never gain an inch on his waist regardless how much he eats)

2ndly, I think that they are not open minded enough. Not enough to show how mature you are as a guy and not mature enough to judge a relationship.

3rdly, Mine would be taller than me at least by 4 inches. and he's not typical cinapek.

What a year to start off. Its annoying I know. But hello. My aim in this tiger year is to ...like usual. *fingers crossed*

Afterall, I think Mariah Carey is those type of voluptuous kind of lady which looks good.(When your fats are at the correct place la)

When both falls on the same day, what to do? This question didn't bother us this year, afterall, I think Valentines and CNY will only fall again on the same day on 2067. It will only occur every 57 years.




I remember last year's Valentine's day fell on a Saturday and on Fridays we see girls bringing bouquet of flowers around the college. And I think we actually secretly wished that we would received it next year. Haha.

That day we were discussing bout these issue and I told Grace, if you don't want to be single by this Valentines, find one quick. Oh btw, its already the 11th of Feb that time. Hahahaha. Impossible la.

Then while waiting for transportation to come, we finally made a conclusion why are we still single. We're TOO PICKY. Hahahaaa. Eg? For me, height comes first, then attitude and sense of fashion. For Gracie it would be attitude first.

The most important thing is a SMILE. We found our respective files when Grace and I did things together. and what makes us into it is a sincere SMILE.=)

We got our respective files though. Hahahaha. FILE. A term that tortured us in OAR. We got thousands of them over here.

I think I bought a lotttt of things this year. I think my shopping list is complete. Bags, perfumes, dresses, shirts and skincare. All checked.=D.

Steamboat renuion dinner later. Its like a norm though.

Happy CNY everyone!

*Just had a scrumptious lunch at Zan Mai, helping Unna to break her 'sushi virginity'.

Today officially marks the last day of work in OAR. No unusual feeling. Maybe its because I'm already tired of working. Next week's cny and the week after that is orientation and then classes will start.

We were required to fill in a survey form to write out how we feel bout ICSJ. I guess most of us are here because of one thing, reasonable price and we get good lecturers.

1 and a half year is not long or short. But time does flies. I made friends over there and my mandarin improved.

But I would like to say a thing, never judge a person unless you talked to him/her before for at least a couple of times.

In fact, when I changed my perspective towards it, I gained friends. I gained shopping kakis and chatting kakis =).

Starting a new life in monash sounds a lil scary to me. Cut throat fees are enough to kill me. I am aiming for a at least 85% though. I need scholarship.

Can you spot me?

I am not those kind of people who thinks that things last forever.

I had a pretty much eventful week. Ranging from shopping spree with sis and sayang, irene's farewell, then shopping in 1U, steamboat with Anthony and CC, and yeah, makan sessions and Irene's REALLY surprise party.

I known her since standard 3 when she came from Sri KL and it was like a chaos and exciting when the class knows a Sri KL girl coming to our school. Hilarious I know, but you know, feeling excited why would people change from Sri KL to here ok.

Years passed, we do quarrel and I am proud to say I am the 1st one who make her cry from anger. And we became good buddies who bake together, sleep together, shop together, study together and yes, we're besties.

We always share bout file, ah kor, Mr Y, Mr J, and her Mr Future Doctor.

And well, being able to give her a surprise to see the person she wants to see quite badly is at least something I can do for ber.

10 years of friendship don't come easy, leaping to the 11th year and she's flying aboard. Guess the plane just landed and we'll certainly miss you.

No more 1 hour phone talk gossiping bout ppl, sharing how naggy are our mums. How our friends excel in exams and we're telling each other that its okay.

8 months and she'll be back. Its long but I'll miss you. Don't forget my souviniers from New Zealand.=)




Love,
Callie a.k.a Kar Lai
