My last update is around after CNY, before I head home to UTM. LOL. It's been so long. I'm a bit lazy to update this, and I don't know how and what to talk about. Huhuhu so, let's just open a new page and write about what happened last night-slash-this-morning. :P

I had extra class last night - spatial statistics. Not really an extra class but a retimed class. We were supposed to have that class at 4pm, but he retimed it to 8.45pm. What a pain, man. But whatevs - it's just a class and I don't have anything to do that night anyway. At least that's what I thought :P

So off we went to class, walking. I accompanied Ms Lim Mei Yee (my fellow coursemate) as she was alone. No harm in that. We arrived early, but well, as Malaysian Timing goes, it didn't start at 8.45pm, but later than that. Okay, he came, he taught, he left. It was spatial statistics, specifically about area patterns. I found class to be interesting in the first half hour, and then drifted off to nowhere. LOL. After that I accompanied her back. Walking too. When I reached my room, there was a YM window open - Dyana! I tried to reply but it turns out that it was offline already. So off I went to call her. She asked me out, along with her roommate Sherry. She said to bring books along to study in McD later - we weren't going to go back in the wee hours; it requires card-scanning and potentially blacklisting. LOL.

So we headed to our 1st destination - Singgah Selalu for shisha. I kinda was worried coz I had no dinner. It was crowded. We moved around twice before settling down to a comfortable, shisha-friendly spot. I took a Durian Mega Gel ABC, and got the shisha. We always take a long time deciding what flavor of shisha to take, so this time we winged it - CHOCOLATE. It didn't even taste like Chocolate, and I did most of it. Sherry second, while Dyana did the least shisha. Huhuhu we left early that night as the crowd was kinda boring and we were kinda bored. After SS we went to go round over to Stulang towards the Zon. At this moment, I don't recall anything actually. I just remembered babbling, and being all crazy. Seriously, it's been a while since I've had shisha, and coupled with the fact that I had it with an empty stomach, I guess I was pretty banged-up last night. HAHAHA~

Okay, we ended the night with McD. Not the one outside UTM this time - we had to escape it and went on being ourselves for once. So here are some of the pix of us in McD...

Me being playful with Dyana's new laptop - it's so light and portable and running on Windows 7!

Double Cheeseburger~


Dyana in my snowcap :P

Dyana+Sherry - BFFs! :D


Random shoot :)


Crazy... :)

After having supper (it was dinner for me :P) we proceeded to studying. YES, we did study. And I found that I study better here. Among friends and out of UTM. I need to do this more often. :P



Me doing RS revisions


Dyana reading Hub.Etnik

Studying paraphernalia...the pack of cigs isn't mine :P


Sherry's sleepy manager face...


Sherry's "bow" (The M logo) :P

I was so high last night, it seems. I recall Dyana and Sherry calling me "sot". Hahaha~. And I think I made quite a scene in McD. Being loud and crazy. Hahaha...well, I won't be returning there anytime soon...I hope :P

I wish I had more of these all-nighters...although it's hell to pay when daybreak comes... :D

Melancholy

Going back to UTM. Will leave for KK this evening. Early tomorrow, will depart for JB. Bye bye beloved family; bye bye Sabah.

GONG XI FA CAI! :D

Sorry guys for being a no-show these few days...Chinese New Year is just...FUN! Summarized in one word (up till today, at least) :D

Lemme update y'all:

- Thursday night: Flight back to KK. Gosh, it was so SCARY. My friend asked me to get ready at 7.45pm, to head to the airport. But then he asked me again: won't it be too early? I asked myself, and decided it was. So we settled for 8.20pm. Then he went to get the tank refilled, and then when we hit the Senai highway, O-M-G. Stuck in jam! I prayed sooooooooo hard in the car. At one point my friend put his hand on my chest and was shocked to feel my fast-beating heart. Hahaha...As soon as we got to the airport, I rushed off into the terminal building. GOOD LORD the attendant was cute and nice; she let me go straight. I felt like I'm in The Amazing Race. LOL... Then the flight. As it always is, there were old people, babies and annoyingly snobby persons. But these will not tarnish my CNY spirit. Like Blaor Waldorf reminded herself, "I am Grace Kelly, Grace Kelly is me."

- Reached KK: Alhamdulillah, reached KK. A bit late but it was okay. Will have less time to kill in T1 KKIA. My friend fetched me there. Brought me for nightcap. Saw shisha outlet but NO shisha - the friend was allergic to smoke. So there i was, Starved of Shisha :P Then we round-round in KK, then settled to kill time in KKIA T1. Bought ticket. Sat in the departure hall. F R E E Z I N G!!!! I wore my hoodie, pulled it tight around the neck, and wore my scarf. Still, it's C O L D !!!

LD - As usual. Good, nice little town. Peaceful. With family. Went crazy withe the family. Love Them! :D

Some pics of KKIA T1:



The family! :D

Other pix and further updates: wait for another day...when time for uploading pix n blogging is long and ample :D

A Little Quiet Talk With Myself

..::So many tags::..

While counting, grouping and rearranging the name tags for the camping trip this Friday, I had some thoughts. This afternoon, me and three other coursemates hung out at the L50 parking lot kinda discussing about the trip. They were talking about the various issues regarding the trip - progress, setbacks, brainstorming solutions, and taking inventory, among other discussions. And I saw that they are working their ASSES off for things. Not only for the camping trip, but also for the annual dinner. Efforts to raise money for those events have been and are being carried out: sales of trinkets, snack food sale..there are other efforts also in the process, I think.


It really sets me thinking: what are MY efforts in these? What have I done? It really was another slap in my face followed by a splotch of shit to the face for me. I have been putting off work. Procrastinating. And now, where has it placed me? Nowhere. I could practically feel the negativity, perhaps even bad-mouthing about me. Maybe it's just me being neurotic; but it's a good way of thinking; it kicks me back into reality. Get things done. Help out where I can.

I am in this process to better myself. Finally, a New Year resolution that is carried out (other than the weight-loss program which was an OBVIOUS success) The plan is to observe myself, my every move, its consequences, its effect upon others, and be less selfish, among others. Believe me, I'm doing my VERY BEST. Every move I make and/or word I say is thought of at least five times before being put out there, and frankly, it's nauseating, sometimes. All the close observation makes me giddy, unwell too. That's why sometimes I seem aloof and listless. And I wanna get rid of (some) bad habits too. The reason I put this out in my blog is to allow others to be aware of my efforts, and (if possible) remind me if I ever stumble. Which would be quite often.

By no means I am feeling sorry for myself; I'm not putting myself down. I'm not letting go of all responsibilities. In computer terms, I may be using more RAM to defragment, run Disk Cleanup, run a full-system antivirus scan, put up the firewall and Windows Defender instead of properly running some programs and applications. Do remind me, fellow friends, if I ever lose touch with reality or anything.

Yet, don't take this chance (I know some will) to hit me hard with guilt and any other emotional and mental assaults. Not everything is MY fault. I'm not the only bad guy. Remember something in Facebook about being "there for friends"? That statement has been thought of PLENTY of times before finally being decided to be posted. It was already practically void of loopholes. Some friends are just NOT really friends, after substantial thought on my part. They're just there through the good times, and will run away when hardship befalls. A friend's story made me aware of such individuals. Cleaning up myself also means cleaning up my friends' list; and I'm NOT referring to my Facebook's friends list.

I am still human; full of errors and imperfections.

Even God's mercy is useless without a fellow human's forgiveness to come with it.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Woo...what a weekend! :D

SATURDAY 30th January 2010
Threw a hissy fit about not being able to go out..practically lashed out at somebody(s) for not being able to go out shopping with me...but well, it's just the Hungry Monster Mr Nazmi babbling. Then chatted up Cik Paija(FB: Faizah Fuzi) and she said that she+Kak Tim will be going to JJ to hangout and have lunch...so we went out at 2pm..but the UTM bus didn't come until 2.45.LOL..Anyway, did lunch at KFC, and stuffed myself. That's a week of dieting and exercise out the window.LOL. No matter; I have a secret weapon due this Monday....hehehe~

After lunch (lunner, actually) I did my shopping. The girls had some stuff to buy too; it was I who had to do the monthly shopping. I thought things should last well into the end of February at least, but it came short due to unplanned (and sometimes, uncontrolled) usage. Hohohoh...This time my shopping was more to buying higher-end products as opposed to the typical alternatives that I bought. So these are some of the things bought:

A mini rug...only RM13! Gotta get it...Wanna spruce up my boring room...Thanks to Kak Tim and Paija for helping me choose it! :D


Water bottle: The Plastic poisoning scare finally got to me. I CAN'T afford having atrophied balls - how am I gonna father kids later?!? Hahaha...better get a better quality bottle than the current Giant water bottle :P

Odor Stop: To clear out the MANLY smell of mine lingering around the room after my jogging/workout session :P


Blink Eyedrops: 3 friends recommended this to me. I find it effective against dryness, but I have trouble dropping the solution INTO my eye! Gotta perfect my aim with it :P


Garnier Pure-A: A higher-end product I'm trying out. Trying to counter the dryness and blemishes.
Fresh and White: Just trying out new stuff; I bought the wrong one! Thought it'd be the green gel type :(


Mentos and Happydent: Currently hooked to these candies. Guess I crave fresher breath, and the gum provides a GOOD refresher in boring sleepy classes+diet tip of the stars! :D

SUNDAY 31st January 2010
Woke up at 9am. Loafed around, Facebooked, and got showered...I intended for a Sunday of leisure and just revising, but a dear friend asked me out...for lunch and a movie...had lunch at Singgah Selalu KipMart. Good food, great crowd. Got the workers looking at me too, more towards staring. In disbelief. Creepy. What's wrong? Regardless. I'm a celebrity. It's expected. LOL~

Then went to Tebrau for a movie. Before that, my friend went to get a dose of the nicotine stick, and I went to browse. I was up to avenge my previously blah weekends, so I went into Vincci and Topman. Vincci had no choice in shades/frames...so off to Topman. None there too - sold out, I guess. So I settled with two Topman Babies~~~

Grey Topman Wallet: Had to freshen up my old wallet - thanks to the old guy for his service to me...happy retiring! :D


Scarf: Had it in mind for my annual dinner - build my wardrobe around it later; also had it in mind for my future movie trips...no more prickly neck; also, during my trips home to Sabah...be cool on the plane! :D

The BLAH movie poster. LOVED his nose, though :D

Many said that the movie (especially the ending) was BLAH. Just like the curious victim in a ghost thriller who just HAD to peek into a creepy room, I went to watch it too. Yeah. It's BLAH. LOL. Very BLAH.

Blowing money on the Topman babies were a tad OTT. But my consolation is: I won't have money for food later. A BIG CONTRIBUTION to my diet :P

Another week's coming...Let's face Monday with a smile...I'll try ;)
