It's all about the company! :)

Hey guys!!!

So, well, this is kind of long overdue, but I still want to blog about it, because it's not everyday I get BP friends visiting me in Cheras!!! =D

Well, on the 1st of this month, Zhi Qing (or Ah Pao), E-Chuen and Shin Lei came to visit Pey Yann, Ruby and I here in Cheras!!!

It was on a Saturday, so Ruby, Pey Yann and myself had IELTS class from 9am-1pm (which I still think is crazy long!) and Ruby and I had a replacement lecture that evening. Anyway, the three of them came with Jeremy Neo (who gave them a ride here =D) and they reached just in time for lunch :)

Ruby and I didn't have much time before our replacement lecture, so we didn't really get to enjoy our food slowly before having to rush off for our class. Since there was nothing better to do, and since they were a bit curious as to what UCSI is like, the whole gang came for the lecture xD (Trying to pretend they're so hardworking =.=)

Pey Yann was a bit nervous about going for the replacement lecture because hers was supposed to be the week after Ruby's and mine! Anyway, we all still went into the lecture hall together :D Shin Lei even found an ex-classmate in Taylor's who's now sort of my classmate! haha!

l-r: Shin Lei, Zhi Qing, E-Chuen, Pey Yann

The four of them walked out around three minutes into the lecture xD So much for being hardworking! haha

After our lecture, Ruby and I joined the rest of them (plus Dickson and Jeremy) at Georgetown-Something-Something (One of those cafes that looks like it got its idea from Old Town)

l-r: Jeremy, Dickson, Zhi Qing, E-Chuen, Pey Yann, Shin Lei

We just sat there and chit-chatted until we thought we had overstayed our welcome, and then we (without the 2 guys) went to Giant to buy some supplies for our Spaghetti dinner and our breakfast the following morning! :)

Surprise!!! Wait, I mean, supplies!!! =P

Yeah, we bought some sparkling wine too, just for good measure ;D And no, everyone, it isn't alchoholic! At all. It's just carbonated juice =.=

We went back to my unit and started to work on our dinner :) We used Ruby's unit's coil heater, and pots from either Ruby's or Pey Yann's unit, and plates and forks and spoons from their units as well. (Oops now it's clear to everyone that nobody in my unit cooks xD)

All 6 of us put in a lot of sweat (literally xP) into preparing our dinner, and I guess it turned out quite okay (After all our efforrt, even if not nice also must say nice ;P) Our dinner was shared with Dickson, Jeremy and 2 of Pey Yann's housemates as well =) Sharing is caring!

We had a spaghetti dinner together! :)

Pey Yann's housemates were so cute xD They felt a bit our of place in my unit with all the BP people all over, so they took their bowls of spaghetti and went back up to their unit. They really just held a bowl (not even a container) of spaghetti each in their hands and took the lift back to their floor! hahaha so cute! I kept imagining if someone happens to take the same lift as them! If I did, I'd probably snatch the food from them and finish it up right there and then! LOL!

That night, after dinner and after clearing up, we Skyped Charmaine :) We were all so exhausted and yet we all went on and on and on, Skyping her! It was fun, though xD I think by then we were all not right in the head! I wonder what my neighbours were thinking about us making so much noise when we were supposed to be sleeping!

Well anyway, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, we managed to get a group photo with Charmaine! Or at least her face on the screen with the rest of us xS

PEACE! =D

The next morning, between the 6 of us, we managed to finish 2 big loaves of Gardenia bread, one can of tuna, one can of sardine, about three quarter tub of ice-cream, as well as some other lebih-lebih stuff like cucumbers and peanut butter xD

Before Ruby and I had to leave for church (we both went to GEPC :D), we sempat take another group shot:

The 6 of us after our really really heavy breakfast! Note that Shin Lei is still in her pajamas xP

I had a great time with these people around! It felt really good to have old friends gather together. It was nice! :) It's like we're all in a different phase of life now, no longer in secondary school, and still we can all just get together and just enjoy each other's company (while trying to get the spaghetti to turn out ok xD) That weekend gave me a dose of BP-ness, a dose of home, a dose of 2-big-loaves-of-bread-in-one-morning x) It. Was. Awesome. =D

A non-alchoholic toast to friendship! =)

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Buh-bye, people!!!

Stuck in the Lift!!!

Hey guys!!!

Something happened to my housemates and I this morning that I thought only happened in movies! Looking at the title of this post, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out what it was that happened xD We were stuck in a lift, just the 5 of us, between the 27^th and the 28^thfloors!!!

We had a 9.30 a.m. Computing Essentials lecture, and we left our condo unit quite early this morning - at 9 a.m.. Usually it’s quite impossible to get a lift that has enough space for the 5 of us, going down, at around that time. So my housemates pressed both the up and the down buttons.

Awesome timing would have it that two lift doors side by side opened at the same time only a few seconds after the buttons were pressed. The left one was going down and the right one was going up. The left one was quite full, so after hesitating for around a second, we went into the lift on the right side, the one going up. We figured we’d go up to go down in the lift xD

We had the whole lift to ourselves, just the 5 of us! I was thinking how unusually cool it is that we could actually enter an empty lift, and go up straight to the highest floor without stopping first at any floors in between, before going down again!

The lift in our condominium here is such that if it’s going up to stop at the 28th floor, the indicator will indicate the 27th floor for quite some time, before indicating the 28th floor when it is really already on the 28th floor. That’s what happened just now in the lift.

The 27th floor was indicated, but we could feel and knew that the lift was going up to the 28th floor (the highest floor). Suddenly there was this “BANGGG!!!”, like something hitting the top/side/wherever of the lift or something. Then the lift stopped, like it was just suspended there.

The 5 of us kind of just stared at each other without saying anything for a moment, then we all just sort of started talking at once. “What happened?”, “Why like that one?”, “Please lah, don’t like that leh!”, “NNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”, “Really stuck ar?!?!?!?”, “AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”

The indicator showed 27. Then suddenly…

Out of Service?!?!?!?

THE LIFT WENT OUT OF SERVICE WITH US IN IT!!!

We immediately pressed the help button (or whatever it’s called – the one that looks like a bell and the one that looks like a phone =.=), but nothing seemed to be happening! We pressed and pressed and pressed and still nothing happened! A thought came to my head, but I didn’t want to say it out, in case I created more panic xD I was thinking that there was probably only a few metal thingies holding the lift with the 5 of us up. If anything were to happen to the things holding the lift up…….

Well, anyway, I now think it was very very wise of me not to say that out loud just now, in the lift! Haha, it wouldn’t have brought any good at all! It would probably have made everyone else even more panicky xD

I was uttering little prayers to God, and I can say that I actually didn’t panic at all! I felt completely calm, certain nothing bad, well, nothing really bad would happen to me! God was with me, and I knew it :) In fact, I actually thought the whole thing was kind of fun! An adventure or a sort, an experience to be remembered, something not everyone can say they have experienced =D

I even took out my camera to take pictures! In ten years time, I’ll look at the pictures and smile to myself, while everyone around me think I’ve gone crazy, smiling at myself xD That may just be the point I get sent into a mental hospital! Hahahaha!!!

Oops, ter-cut Felicia out :S Sorry Felicia!

Perhaps it was laughing the panic away, or perhaps everyone rationalised that laughing is better than crying, but the 5 of us were laughing! Look at us in the picture! Yes, we look like we had just woken up (which is true), but we don’t exactly look sad, do we? Come to think of it, it was a good way to kick-start our day! I sure did feel a lot more awake after being stuck in the lift! xD

Thank God Hong Ling’s phone had signal (Woots! Maxis!!! =D), and she called the number pasted in the lift, for use of emergencies. We also called another friend who we knew didn’t have any lectures on this morning, to ask her to look for help for us xD THANK YOU XUE NI!!!!! You’re awesome!!! :)

Talking to Xue Ni on the phone was kind of funny! Imagine being called early in the morning, being told that some of your friends are stuck in a lift, asking you to go look for help for them! Wouldn’t you think that you’re being tricked or something? Haha, anyway, Xue Ni believed we really were stuck in the lift, and she sounded very “cemas” for us! Awwww, thanks again, Xue Ni!!!!! =)

Trying to explain our situation to Xue Ni x)

By that time, we had already been stuck in the lift for some time, and Niki was already sitting on the floor xD

Her facial expression so cute xD

After being stuck in the lift for nearly half an hour (seriously, it was that long! But it didn’t really feel that long :D), Spiderman, Superman, Batman and Cicakman came to save us! =D

Spiderman, with his webs helped to make sure the lift wouldn’t drop 27½ floors down by spider-webbing the bottom of the lift to the side of the lift-space-wall (lift-space-wall?!?!?!? =.=).

Superman, with his super-strength pushed the lift doors apart so that we could get out of the lift.

Batman held the lift up from the top, helping Spiderman make sure the lift wouldn’t drop all the way down.

And as for Cicakman, he was just there to entertain us, and remind us that we have a local superhero xD

Okay, okay, maybe all these superheroes weren’t REALLY there to help us out, but a girl can make her being rescued from a lift sound a little more dramatic, can’t she? Wait, she can’t? Cheh, no fun lah :P

What really happened was that someone (a representative of Superman, perhaps xD) did come and push the lift doors apart. We then climbed out of the lift, one by one, up to the 28th floor. Yes, we had to climb up, since the 28th floor was around our waist level xD

When all 5 of us were out, we were then treated like VIPs, being ushered into another lift that was held purposely for us! The lift was just there, waiting for us! The 5 of us were ushered into the lift, a guy, and another guy came with us (maybe the representative of Cicakman? There to make sure everything goes on okay and to make us feel more at ease? xD). The lift went straight down to P5 (the floor we were headed to, sort of like the Ground floor).

The lift door opened and we saw yet another guy there to usher us out, like a welcoming committee!!! :D We felt like VIPs, oh-so-important! =D

The anti-climactic end to the story is that the 5 of us said our thanks, and rushed off for our Computing Essentials lecture, already late for the lecture! xD

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!




Buh-bye, people!!!
P/S: Thank You, Lord, for getting us out of there safely :)

My First Sem Break.... Overrrr!!! ='(

Hey guys!!!

I WANT MORE HOLIDAYSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED MORE HOLIDAYSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! I DEMAND I GET MORE HOLIDAYSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Not like I will get any more holidays :(

Well anyway.... I had quite a nice holiday =) Then again, when are holidays ever not nice? xD Other than watching TV all day, I did some other not-so-anti-social activities!

I went to Port Dickson with Niko, Thai Kue and Sarm Kue (two of my aunties from my dad's side). We stayed a night in Thistle hotel, which I think is an awesome hotel!!!

Lompatttt!!! You can see a bit of the hotel pool behind Niko and myself in the picture x)

I also celebrated Mama's birthday in Muar :) She is seriously the cutest grandmother the world has ever known! =) The celebration dinner was kind of cool because I got to see all my relatives together :)

The cousins!!! Minus a few xD

I just realised that Mama isn't even in the picture I posted! :S

Now, that's better =)

The family with Mama =)

I also got to meet up with some friends =)

A bunch of ex-schoolmates at Dagan

We were really noisy, but who cares? We were busy catching up with each other to remember to keep our voices down xD

Oooh ooh oohhhhh!!!! And I got to meet up with my SUSOM friends as well!!! Jasmine and Jia Wen didn't join us, but at least I got to meet up with 3 out of the 5 of my fellow SUSOMites from this year. Jennifer joined us too =D Jun Yi was supposed to, but tak jadi :( That monkey! haha

Top l-r: Samuel, Derrick; Bottom l-r: Samantha, me

Jennifer left early, so we didn't take a picture with her :( She actually bought 9 supposedly "crunchy and delicious" green apples and tumpang-ed my bag, and then she left without the apples! So I untung 9 apples loh!!! hahaha, thank you jie2 Jen loh!!! I'm supposed to think of her every time I eat an apple xD

Well, so now it's back to the old grindstone! Ughhh, I have a lecture at 8 am tomorrow! EIGHT IN THE MORNING!!! Nobody should be up so early in the morning! That's crazy and unhealthy and siao and simply not for any decent human being!

mwahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

Holidayssss!!! :)

Hey guys!!!

I've finished one semester in UCSI!!! So fast right? hahaha, anyway, I finished my last final exam paper (for the 1st sem) on the 11th of August and so my holidays started then! =)

It has been one semester! One whole semester!!! Granted, yes, I started later than the actual May intake, but still, it all seems like such a short time ago!!! Anyway, of course, who cares about anything when they can care about holidays? hahaha, nobody!!!

So this holiday, as usual, I've been spending most of my time watching TV =D But but but... At least I've been out a few times instead of JUST watching TV in my room! Trust me, it's an improvement! xD

Well, the first meet-up I had when I got back to BP was with a bunch of ex-schoolmates :) It was mostly a farewell for Jing, who is leaving for Poland this Sunday!

l-r: Anna, Ajie, me, Evonne, Liting, Jing, Joanne

We went to Juz Waffle, and I went upstairs for the first time!!! hahaha jakun xD (Upstairs and downstairs look the same only oneeeee :S)

It was fun seeing them again, especially Ajie! I think hadn't seen her since Form 2 or so before that!!! She's still as crazy as ever, though xD She and Joanne were kicking each other, shaking the tables and embarassing all of us in the process xP Oh, and AJIE BIT ME!!! Yes, bit as in past tense of bite!!! A few times!!! Ughhhhhhh, I'm feeling all geli just thinking about it =S hahaha

It was fun seeing her again, though, despite the biting xD

After that, Evonne, Joanne and myself met up with Joshua and jie2 Ee Hsin and we went to BP Mall (and ended up in Char Chan Teng). You know how some people like to put their handphones on the table when they go out to makan? Well, I've never been one of those people. But, that night, my handphone was too cool for me to keep in my pocket! It demanded attention. It demanded that it be left on the table for everyone to admire. It wanted to be seen, to be the centre of attention, to be hao-lian-ed!!!

So put it on top of the table I did, with the other handphones there. Guess which one was the one I brought? I'll give you a hint, it's the ABC-est (awesomest, bestest, coolest) one there:

Well? Which one do you think is the one I brought?

Well, since I said awesomest, bestest and coolest, I'm sure you managed to guess correctly! It's the third one!!! Yay!!!!! The blue/orange/green/pink one!!!! Awesome right??? Now now, don't get too jealous of me just because my handphone is so much more awesome than yours okay? =P

Hahahahahahahahaha!!! I actually found it in jie2 Ee Hsin's car on the way to BP Mall, and thought that I just couldn't live without it! It's actually jie2 Ee Hsin's niece, LeLe's xD I hijacked it for the night just to show-off ;) You know, I'm actually thinking of buying myself one of those colourful toy handphones too, just to bring around for fun xD

Had another kind-of-farewell for Jing in BP Mall :)

l-r: Joshua, me, Jing, Jayn, Joanna

Camera-shy Evonne took the photo for us since she mati-mati also didn't want to take photo with us. She was still recovering from the picture we took earlier in Juz Waffle xD haha

Come to think of it, I shouldn't have been in the picture as well! I just realised that I took a picture with all the J-people!!! Right now I feel like such the odd one out!!! JJJJJoshua lah, JJJJJing lah, JJJJJayn lah, JJJJJoanna lah, all J's! I think just for that, I shall be referred to as Jamanda in this picture!!! Hahahaha!!! xD

Ooh! Also managed to see Ying at another meet-up, but sadly, I forgot to take a group picture :( The closest photo I have to a photo of Ying from that day is her handphone =.= Sad, but true.

Oh! You can see a bit of her hand there too! haha

The point of the photo was actually the 8th and 9th high-score placing of 0 marks! hahaha, the names typed there are Jing and Joshua! Tsk tsk tsk, malu only, get 0 marks!!! 0 marks also dare to type their names in?!?!?!? Tsk tsk tsk! (Shhhh... Don't tell anyone I told you, but I was the one who got the 0 marks, and typed their names in ;P)

Well, I guess I won't be seeing Jing again before she leaves for Poland, so Jing, if you see this...

ALL THE BEST IN KILAT-LAND!!!!! Semoga you get Polished until you kilat-kilat, like your awesome tiara!!! Oh ya, that reminds me, remember to bring your tiara there ya, Princess Jing? ;P Just wear it there if you're afraid it might take up too much luggage space! Go spread the princess-ness!!! Lol!!!

So cute right? I mean the tiara xP

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

I'm Homeeeee! :D

Hey guys! I'm home! In BP! Breathing BP air, eating BP food, seeing BP people, enjoying BP! Yesssss!!! Haha, I really haven't been home for too long xD Anyway, whatever it is, BP IS STILL THE BEST!!! I'm actually blogging on my phone while waiting for my dinner! I'm bad at blogging with my phone =.= Me needs laptop or computer! hahaha, buh-bye for now! I don't want to be anti-social at the dinner table! xD

Meet the Housemates!!! :)

Hey guys!!!

I've been meaning to do this for quite some time now, and now I finally have to pictures to do it! So, introducing..... The Housemates!!!!! :D

So since all the photos in the collage were taken on the same night, I shall introduce them in terms of the clothes they're wearing in the pictures xD

The one in the red shirt (the one lying down in the bottom picture) is Hong Ling :)
The one in the black shirt is Nikita :)
The one in white is Karen :)
The one in the red and white shirt is Felicia :)
The one in pink is Chia Yee :)

Some little things about the housemates:
Hong Ling is the not-so-banana, though like me, people always seem to think she is! She is also a super-fan of Fruit Ninja, which she is always seen playing on her white iPhone4! She

Nikita is the crazy/weird flagella I often pretend not to know so as to salvage whatever is left of my reputation (if I even have one) xP She can also be really cutely random sometimes! (example: whacking the hand of a guy she knows, though not very very well, when he's sitting in the seat behind her with his hand hanging on the backrest of the seat beside her)

Karen is the other Johorean in the house! JOHORRHRRR!!!! :D :D :D She's also my human alarm clock and seriously, if not for her, I'll never be up in time for any of my morning lectures! xD THANKS AGAIN, KARENNNN!!!!!! =)

Felicia is the baby of the house, the one whom I'm sure will always be able to get anything she wants out of you as soon as she goes all "pleaseeeeee" while looking at you with her big eyes :) She is also sometimes known as "Omnom" xD

Chia Yee is the one who does most of the work around the unit. She's the one everyone waits for to open the grill every morning we have to go to UCSI, and she's the reason our unit isn't overflowing with rubbish as she is usually the one who throws the rubbish out xD Thank Chia Yeeeee!!!!! =)

They are all a bunch of really great people and I really thank God that He gave me such great housemates! =) And it so happens that all of us got the scholarship to study medicine!

Chia Yee and Nikita actually applied for dentistry but were given medicine instead. Not too long ago, Chia Yee appealed to JPA and she was given the offer to study dentistry in Kedah! Though we're all happy for her because she got what she wanted, of course all of us are a bit sad she won't be here to suffer, erm, I mean, study in UCSI with us and we'll miss her a lot!

So, Chia Yee, I've been your housemate long enough for me to know how much of a stalker you are (stalking even un-stalk-worthy people like me =.=), and so I'm sure you'll see this xP
It has been a pleasure knowing you and being your housemate, even if it was just for a little over a month! Thanks for being such a great housemate, doing all the things the other 5 of us are always forgetting to do or are just too lazy to do xD

It has been great sharing the table with you when we can get out of prison (hahaha ;)) and it has been great going to makan whatever we want on Tuesdays with you! It truly has been great knowing you! Hope everything goes well for you in AIMST (AIMST? Correct or not? I know it's something like that lah xD)!!! Hope you enjoy life there, and hope you get along well with all the new people you'll meet there (especially the 10 you-know-whos you'll meet there :P)!

Soooo, CHIA YEE, ALL THE BEST!!!!!! =) Come visit us back at the unit before our foundation course finishes and we all have to move out!!! xD

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!

My Sister is BACKKKK!!!! xD

NIKO IS BACKKKKKKKKK!!!!! =D =D =DDDDD

Once again, I have a sister!!! :D It only happens once in a blue moon, when he hasn't been home for a very long time and has long hair xD His hair is longer than mine now, and I haven't had my hair-cut in ages!!!

It's great to have Niko back again!!!! And mummy keeps calling him "Girl" xD So fun for me! hahahaha! What I always wanted growing up, an older sister ;D

NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK NIKO IS BACK =D

I've started uni and I can't go makan with him all over BP :( I have a list of makan places to make sure Niko eats at this trip round!!! ='(

I wants me some holidays and I wants them right now! In fact, I don't just want "some" holidays, I want plenty of holidays! You know what? Don't need to study already I lagi syiok xD

Oh yeah, and today after my Bio quiz (yes, I had a Bio quiz earlier today! Who on Earth invented such a thing as tests and quizzes? tsk tsk tsk!!! Oh, it was the Chinese =.=) all the JPA scholars taking Foundation in Science had to stay back for a meeting or something and we were told that for all of us planning to take Medicine, we have to get a minimum CGPA of 3.7 as well as go through an interview before we can be accepted into the UCSI medical programme!!! Oh, and the best part is, there are already 58 JPA scholars taking Foundation in Science (my batch) and we have to compete with another 30-over A-Levels students for spots in the medical programme next year! And get this, there are only 50 places in the medical programme! So the rest of us will either have to try to get into another programme or give up and be beach bums or something!!! Beach bum... beach bum... Hey, doesn't sound too bad, does it? xD My dream ambition! xDDD

For those of you who do not know what a beach bum is, it is defined as "A person who habitually loafs or idles on beaches". Pretty cool, huh? xD

Well, anyway, I guess I'll just have to snap out of my holiday/watch-TV-all-day/sleep-for-more-than-half-the-day-everyday/a-lazy-pig's-life mode, and real soon too! =.=

Oh oh ohhh!!! I wrestled with one of the UCSI elevator/lift doors just now! hahahahaha!!! Felicia, Chia Yee, Karen (3 out of the 5 of my housemates) and myself were in the lift with a bunch of other people from our batch after our Bio quiz. When we reached the floor we were going to, Felicia and Chia Yee walked out first, followed by Karen and then me.

When Karen was walking out, the lift door closed on her and hit her from the left side before she managed to get out of the lift, and the lift door opened again slightly after hitting poor Karen. I was behind her and I stepped out of the lift as soon as the door opened again.

As I was stepping out, the lift door closed again and at that time, around half my body was already out of the lift (and yes, half of my body was still in the lift =.=) The lift door banged into me while I was halfway out of the lift. So, like any normal person would, I started to push the lift door the direction it would open. However, unlike the usual normal person, something struck my funny bone and I started laughing really hard!

I was laughing and laughing and the three of my housemates had already went ahead (not too far ahead, but they weren't exactly trying to save me from the lift door situation either xD). So there I was, laughing like a mad woman, trying to push the stubborn lift door open with my left hand and left leg sticking out of the lift awkwardly! Don't ask me why both my left hand and leg, because I really don't know how that happened! So half my body was in the lift while the other half of my body was out of the lift, and the lift door was half open and trying to close, but all I could do was laugh and laugh and laugh while everyone else in the lift must have been thinking I'm some kind of mental patient (but nobody was gentlemanly enough to offer a finger to help press the open button! Maybe nobody wanted to be associated with the girl laughing away while the lift door as trying to shut on her)! xD

Well, I was wrestling with the lift door and losing miserably because I was laughing too hard and all my energy went into my laughter xD So when I was almost squished at the end of the lift door, I stepped back and thought, "bye housemates!!!" as I saw the lift door close right before my eyes. I was still laughing uncontrollably then! Then then then, another girl who was in the lift pressed the open button just in time and the lift door opened again just as it touched the other end where the lift door closes unto!

All I could do was stumble out of the lift, trying not to laugh too hard and trying to walk straight! I can't even remember whether I thanked the girl who pressed the "open" button for me!!!

That. was. embarrassing.

I demand a rematch against the lift door!!!

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!
