Back to the Old Grindstone!

Hey guys!

So there ends my holidays, and instead, here starts a new year! I've been back here in Cheras for about 3 days, and lectures have already started! My 3rd and final foundation semester has started! *gasp*

My glamourous Cheras life greeted me with finding out that I didn't bring any beddings, and I didn't have any extra bedsheets! So...
At least I have a thick mattress to put my sleeping bag on! xD

I know, glamourous right? It's actually quite nice sleeping like that. I mean, last time, in BB, we used to sleep in sleeping bags on the ground! This is considered a nice improvement, I would say! Oh, and I found a pillowcase in one of my bags, so at least I could use that too! Yay sleeping bag! :D I have a soft spot for sleeping bags, which might explain why I would have one lying around somewhere in my room here xD

Another thing that greeted me back to this place is the amzing views of the sky. I mean, I know the sky is the sky, and it's the same everywhere (well, sort of, anyway), but here, man, the sky just looks awesome almost all the time! I'll be walking back from uni or just be walking around, and I'll literally stop in my tracks to snap a photo of the view!

Maybe it's just me. Maybe since I don't get any kind of view (unless you consider the corridor and the rubbish room a view) from my room window, I make up for it by being extra attentive to what the sky looks like. Or maybe it's just that I love seeing God's little-little reminders that He is awesome, and He can put together nice-nice sky views to make me happy or to make my day :)

Love how the sunlight shines out the bottom of the clouds on the left side of the photo,
as though God is showing His favour upon we people :)

This is one of those photos!
I'm walking, I see something, I stop walking,
I dig around my bag for my camera (or I take out my phone), and I snap :)

I realise that the pictures I've posted aren't of the World's most spectacular views, but then again, they are made by the same creator, and I think they are pretty cool =D And another thing is, the camera I'm using is a bit on the cacat side, so the actual views are actually a lot nicer than in the photos I have xD

Oh! And I've only been back here for not too long a period of time, but already I've had dinner at McD twice xD Two of my housemates (Hong Ling and Karen) and I went there for our first dinner here for this year, sort of to comfort ourselves since we have to start a new sem and our holidays have ended xP

Family Dinner Box, actually =.=

They probably didn't have any more of the boxes for the Family Dinner set, that's why we got the box that says "Family Breakfast Box" instead =.= For some reason, we brought the empty box back to our unit with us when we left too! xDDD

Walking back towards our condo complex from McD, there was this girl walking in front of us who was carrying a small bag on her left shoulder and a small poodle in her arms. When she was about to go through the place where they check our residents' cards, she stuffed her dog into her bag and zipped the bag up! Awww the poor poodle :( We were saying that we should dog-nap the dog and put it in our McD box, which was A LOT bigger than the girl's bag! Put the box to good use! xD

After passing that part, the girl unzipped the bag a little bit, and the dog stuck its head out. It was soooo cuteeeee!!!! :D The dog didn't even make a sound! It was so well-behaved! hahahahaha it was such a cute sight to see that the three of us kept following the girl and the dog right until they went to their block's lift lobby. Since we aren't from the same block, we just kept on watching the dog from afar while they were waiting for the lift xD

Hahahahahaha that sounded so stalker-ish! And maybe even a little bit romantic? *In a deep, soulful voice* Watching from afar.......

"How is stalking a dog romantic?"
"It is! It's about putting effort into trying to be part of the dog's life, even if the dog doesn't know it! That's romantic, isn't it?"
"But it's a dog! A DOG! You're talking about 3 girls watching an unknowing dog in the lift lobby! How is that even close to being romantic?"
"But... but.... but... It was a really really REALLY cute dog!"

Uh-oh, I think the start of this new sem and the going back to classes is really doing my brain some damage. Correction: A LOT of damage :S (And oh no! I just realised how much I sound like a stalker!!! I promise you, I'm usually not like this!)

Ooh and one more thing! I think the barin damage isn't just affecting me xD Today I went with Karen to McD again, and after dinner, we were both feeling a bit too full, so we decided to take a walk around our condo complex. So we were walking around and we ended up at the playgound. We were talking and joking around when I thought I heard someone call "Amanda!"

So I turned around to see where the voice came from. I didn't see anyone familiar, so I ignored it. I probably didn't hear correctly. Then I heard my name a second time as Karen and I were walking away from the playground. Again I turned to find whoever it was calling my name, but all I saw was a bunch of kids playing there. And I was sure I heard my name being called!

So I came to the conclusion that there was a kid at the playground, whose name is also Amanda :D I suggested to Karen, "why don't we go to the playground again and see if we can find out which is Amanda?" Just then, I heard my name again. "Amanda!" and then it was followed by a "Karen!"

Having two kids there with our names playing at the playground while we were there? I decided that it was too much of a coincidence. So I turned back to find who the voice belonged to. I turned and again, saw nobody familiar. So I tilted my head upwards, my eyes moving along the windows of the block where Karen's and my unit is. Then I see it! There it was, a hand waving from a window with lots of clothes hung on the grill to dry xD

Apparently Pey Yann and her housemates spotted us from their window, and so they yelled down to us from their unit on the 8th floor!!! It's nice to know the start of this new semester (or is it the start of this new year?) is making everyone a little bit crazy! :D

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!
