Here comes the most headache part of my life- course registration. I plan it so well and I really thought I could just easily grab swimming for my co-curriculum activities but I was so wronged. I was really disappointed. Then I wanted so much to take Academic Reading in English but the one and only group I wanted was full. So, imagine the frustration that buried deep down in me. Therefore, all my classes clash with one and another. It’s driving me nuts. I have to rearrange my schedules over and over again but ended up with no solution in mind.
I can’t make up my mind to take either Thai language or Portuguese language. I know Portuguese language sound so much fun but the exam paper is really close to my International Business hence I give up altogether and choose Thai instead. Why, Thai? It’s a well-known easy paper to score according to most of my course mates. You will be rest assured an A on hand. So, for the sake of my result it seems like I am oblige to do the same.
And also I was force to choose either Report Writing for Business and Professional Purpose or Business and Professional Correspondence in English. Frankly, I’m just not into any of it but then again, I have no other choices to make. I really want Academic Reading in English instead. But luck is not on my side, so I have to choose one of the above. The situation is as such that you have to choose between Adrian and Andrew when the one you really wanted is Alfred. This is life.
This semester will be the final straw. I was already worried that I was not in the same league as some of my peers. My final semester is kicking soon. I was really not looking forward to it. In fact, I dreaded it. I want an infinity holiday.

Droplets
I didn’t know that KL has monsoon season too. It has been pouring almost every day. And the sun refuses to shine. I just hate rainy days. I only love it while I am snuggling on my bed. The sky looks so gloomy. This made my day full of gloominess too. I don’t want to go anywhere. It would just be perfect to have a cup of hot cuppa and sitting beside the window panel watching the droplets of rain falling from the sky.
The tapping sounds of the rain induce me to doze off easily. The room seemed very remote and still. A sheer of laziness crept all over my body. I don’t want to move an inch now. I just want to indulge myself in darkness. The bed was so soft. I gave a sigh of satisfaction. It’s time for hibernating. I tighten my grips on the little booster and covered myself with the soft IKEA fleece blanket. Oh, i so love the smell of my precious booster. The smell of my childhood memories. Silently, I whispered, “Rain, I am in love with you for now”.

Magical
I attended a friend’s wedding dinner last Saturday at Concorde Hotel. This is my first time attending a hotel wedding dinner. It feels so luxurious and romantic. How I wish my wedding could be somewhat close to this. Don’t get me wrong, I am not desperate to change my status just yet. Just that, sometimes, I do wonder how my life will turn out to be. Have you?
There is this secret dream lurking in my heart of seeing myself marry a wealthy man. Jung Ji-Hoon, will you be the one? And I play the ‘I Do’ song. I just know he'll sing to me (thick face) I smiled sheepishly at him (his photo) and rolled my eyes.

Congratulations!
Disposable panties. A great idea of expressing love.So cute!

Traveller Tales
I‘ve got a ticket to heaven now. A passport. Now, I can be able to start my travelling journey. Actually I want to share with you my experience of applying this passport. I seriously recommend Wangsa Maju (Sri Rampai) branch if you intend to get one. The process is nonetheless same as other branch but I have to admit (for the very first time) that the Immigrant’s staffs at that particular branch are more efficient. And the payment process was unreasonably quicker than the rest. I reached there at 9.30am and thank God I manage to get my brand new passport at 1.30pm. So, I personally think the speed is there.
And also I would like to give a word of warning to you. If you want to or plan to have your passport photo taken there and then, go for the shop on your right hand side which is just next to the JPN. Not the one at your left –the one next to the staircase or the JIM signboard. You will be bound to lure by those photo agents into their shop. Just ignore them altogether. Opt for the one next to JPN- Propoint Marketing and the photographer by the name of Mr. Danny Wong. You know why I want to share these with you. It’s because I’ve got cheated by those self-claimed photographer agent. They certainly possess no skills and the photo turn out suck like hell. Come on, the photo is gonna stick with you for five years. Of course I wish to have a great shot photo of me plastered on the first page of my passport. And not some really shitty photo that each time I’ll feel embarrasses to show it to the Immigrant officer. Damn, the stupid no-skill photographer. They don’t even eligible to be call photographer. They are just some aunty on the backyard. There goes my RM12 down the drain.wtf. I should be more observant before deciding on something. Lesson learnt. But you can’t really put the blame on me as I was half asleep on that rainy morning. It’s brain dysfunctional.And lack of sleep. So, I was cheated by some aunty. What a day!
Yay, my passport!

Warning: Do not trust this so-called photographer. This is the shop that you should avoid by all means.
My not-so-lucky number
Do you notice the difference between these two photos?
The first one is the 'real' me while the second one is just a horrible version of me.
Yay, my passport!

Being Happy
Happiness is sometime so vague. I wonder how one actually defines happiness. I am not so sure as well.
But for now, I think I am happy. And I hope it will last.

Home Sweet Home
I touched down LCCT terminal at 10.40pm. The terminal was crowded with people. Through the window panel, I saw a familiar face that I remember very well. She is looking for me. I whistled. She turned her head and our eyes meet. I hug her tightly and both of us were in tears.
Once I reached home, my dad opened the gate and exclaimed; ‘you’re back!’ Out of a sudden, he hugged me and broke into tears. Both of us wept uncontrollably. This is a tear of joy. I didn’t know that my homecoming was such a heartwarming one. I love you all.
After a few months away from city life, I realized that quite a number of things changed. Here are the lists of changes that I manage to figure out so far:
1) California Fitness turned into Celebrity Fitness which means no longer Jackie Chan but Amber Chia instead. I hate her.
2) RapidKL bus operating in a one way trip charges starting November onwards. No more reusing the same bus ticket. Damn, I hate this system.
3) The building next to my flat repainted.
4) There is a new outlet – Popeye at MidValley, Ground floor. Actually, quite a number of new outlets operating in MidValley such as that of Spagetti Farm and Kiehls.
5) The Bandar Tasik Selatan KTM station is under renovation. But I think it is rather pointless. I would really appreciate if they could upgrade their frequency of services rather than 30 minutes (usually later than this) per trip. Personally, I don’t think they will ever change even in the years to come. Suck as always.
6) 100 plus has a new look.
7) LRT Star Sungai Besi station repainted.
8) Gardenia bread has new product- cinnamon bread with flavor such as milky chocolate, butter toffee and coffee toffee. I’ve tried it. It’s delicious and most importantly, it’s affordable.
9) My little bro is a proud owner of a flat screen desktop.
10) There are two new machine -beverages machine and junk food machines at my University library. This is so cool.
11) My faculty computer lab assistance (used to be a plump fella) has shed some kilos. I wonder how he manages to do that and what his secret to success is. I need to seek advice from him.
12) I have changed too.

Au revoir
Whenever there is a starting line, there will always be a finishing line. I was trying to grasp the fact that my days spend in the island come to an end. Last night, I willed myself to stay awake, but the tapping sound of the rain was so soft and the room was so cozy that I slept.
The morning weather is pretty good today. I was staring at the horizontal line of the sea for awhile, totally motionless. In just a few hours, I will be leaving the island. I feel surreal that I am actually heading back home today. But I was confused whether to feel happy or sad. It’s a complicated feeling. I boarded the afternoon ferry. I could no longer hold back the tears. I felt myself beginning to cry, but I could not stop it. I let it flow freely. Those tears flooded my eyes. A couple of passengers stared at me with quizzical look but I ignored them all together. I couldn’t be bothered. I don’t give a damn on how awful I look like. I just want to cry. It’s a challenge not to cry because I just can’t shut my emotions off. And now, I am tearing in front of the screen sitting at the corner in McDonald with quite a number of passerby and strangers glancing at me with much curiosity. Dear all, I just want to cry. Let me be.

Two in One
Today is a double happiness for me.
Happy Diwali and it's my last working day. I've been waiting for this day for so long.
Finally, i reach the finishing line. The journey is indeed long. I do have a couple of rough time here but thank God i survived.
I'll resume back to city life soon. But i'm not sure whether i'm going to like it cos' i've escape from the madding world for sometime.
I need more time. For some meditation.

Such Blissful
My heart is racing in a not-so normal rate. I feel like living in my own dream for sometime.This is so unbelievable.This is an overwhelming joy. I am off to Hong Kong on January 2010. OMG!
Adding up to the excitement, i'm going off to HK the week after my Bangkok trip which means i will be visiting two beautiful countries in just a month. Plus, i'll be dropping by Macau as we are flying back to KL frm Macau International Airport.
Not that i don't have any worries, in fact tonnes of em'. Money is always a big issue for me. I am not at all loaded.Currently, i'm in the midst of finding a part time job. And i seriously need a job,desperately.I just know that i could get so broke after my Bangkok trip. You tell me how to resist not buying those dresses and almost everything cheap there. I just couldn't. Hence, to-not worry over with my expenditure for HK trip is a lie. I feel the urge to rob a bank now.
But i really wanted to visit Hong Kong since i was twelve. I grown up watching HK TVB series and wishing i could be able to walk that famous Kowloon road someday, ride on the old-fashioned mini bus, dine in 'char chan teng' tasting their famous polo bun and milk tea, sight seeing at the harbor during night time or maybe spot one or two artiste strolling at the street. Life seems so perfect then. But everything comes with a price to pay. I have to fork up my personal saving and work several part time jobs in order to pay my monthly debt to my girlfriend who makes this real for me thus far. I love each and every one of them to bits. Our ten years of friendship and still counting is tested. This is what i call real friends for life.
I don't need a bible on how to generate more money or how to become a billionaire. It's impractical to apply those theory now cos' it may take me forever to understand em'. I just need a job. That's it.
*I am so looking forward for Year 2009 to end. Bangkok and Hong Kong, here i come.I couldn't be any happier.

Where is the Moon?
Yet another round of festive occasion celebrated in the island. It's the Mid Autumn Festival. Glad that i actually have two lanterns, colorful candles and moon cake for this special occasion. The moon appeared briefly somewhere between eight at night. Then, it turns cloudy and soon after the rain begun to pour. They lied. They assured me it wouldn't rain. Somehow, it rained. I remember once that it's raining during this occasion even with the moon hanging lifelessly at the sky. And i remember very little about that year.
I was running in the rain. The constant splashes of rain water on my face awaken me. The wind was so chilly and i could feel my heart freeze. The plan is ruined.The damage is done. Sorry is definitely not the word that i wanted to hear. Whatever happens is a history for now.
If you attempt to ask me again how the celebration in the island is, i would mention its raining.This is what i remember most. And also a text message as well- "You can see big sky on the beach. Even romantic.Happy Mooncake Festival to you".
That night was indeed an unforgettable one.
