Rolling Around In Dough

That is what my friend, Billy Sprague, said when I told him that I was going to work after class.

And for those of you who do not speak cool, this is NOT what we mean by "rolling around in dough":



The only thing that is rolling around in THAT dough is the rolling pin!

THIS is what we mean by it:



Man, I wish I had just as much as that fler there.

So, I mentioned in my previous posts that I had a few jobs on campus. YAY MOOLAH!

In February, I applied to be a Student Ambassador here in Mines. After a really scary interview session (it was not really scary. I was just really nervous), I managed to land this job!

What does a Student Ambassador do?

In short, a Student Ambassador is just a fancy name for a tour guide. DO NOT TELL ANYONE THAT I TOLD YOU THIS!

YOU!!! SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!!!

So what we do is, we meet with the parents and prospective students, show them around campus, tell them about the school, tell them what college life is like, basically be the front face of the school.

In conclusion, I am paid to walk around the school and tell people how awesome the school is.

My fancy name tag

I think I might be the first Malaysian working in admissions with this position. I may be wrong though.

I love this job. The main reason why I applied for this job is because I really do think this school is awesome. I like the fact that I get to meet a lot of people, and learn more about the school at the same time.

The admissions team here in Mines kick butt! Unlike other colleges and universities, our team of Ambassadors do private tours; we take one family per tour, instead of sticking them in a group with 40 other people for the tour.

We also send them a personalized postcard after the tour.



Talk about Mines hospitality!

Being a Student Ambassador has really improved my public speaking skills, social skills, and most importantly how to deal with really difficult people that makes you want to do this:



Another good thing that came from being a Student Ambassador is that this first job helped me land another job here on campus!

When the people at the CTLM were looking through the resumes, they said that mine stood out because of my position as a Student Ambassador. How cool is that??

The main reason why I applied for another job on campus is not because I am a greedy little piggy that wants a ton of money. The Ambassador job does not pay much. The timing of the tours are not very flexible, they are also very limited, and extremely dependent on whether the people decide to show up for a tour or not. Like I said, this job is mainly because I enjoy it. Not for the moolah.

So I decided to apply for a job at the CTLM, because the hours are flexible, and the people here are really nice.



I started working here a few weeks ago. So far so good. We have almost nothing to do most of the times because its summer, and there are very few people left on campus.

We consultants have to answer phones, give people their prints, print posters, fix computers. Basically anything that has to do with computers and things related to it, we can help you!



They hired me knowing that I have ZERO computer skills. Which is awesome of them. The guy who hired me said that I will learn the ropes as I go along.

I HAVE learned a whole lot of things here. Occasionally I almost get into fights with the cash register. Other than that, every day is an opportunity to learn something new :)

And btw, the people that work here are COMPUTER GENIUSES! I cower and humble myself in their awesome presence and knowledge in laptops and computers!

So yea, these are the two jobs that I currently have here on campus.

Mummy should be glad that I am finding ways to support myself here.

Otherwise, she will have to sell her car and work two jobs to support my lifestyle here.



An excellent choice of lifestyle, don't you think ;)

Helluva Engineer

I am currently studying in the ever prestigious Colorado School of Mines!



The school was established in 1874, making it two years older than the state of Colorado!



Located in the quiet and serene city of Golden, with an elevation of more than a mile above sea level.



The school is surrounded by plenty of mountains, perfect for any person who loves the outdoors. And trust me, these Colorado people LOVE the outdoors.

I have been here for almost a year, and I tell you. There is no other school/college/university that I would much rather be in!

We are a school full of engineers and science/math loving people. Nerds and geeks, yes. Which makes it all the more fun. But do not get me wrong. Not every single Mines student looks like this:



We are extremely normal looking people! Like this:



And this:



And occasionally we look like this:



this:



And last but not least, this:



Aah fun :)

For the next few weeks, I will be writing posts about my freshman year; the things I have done, the places I have been to, the people I have met, the things I had to go through etc.

And for now, I leave you with our school fight song, also known as The Mining Engineer.



Do not ask me how to sing it. I have absolutely no idea.

So much for school pride huh? Hehe

DUST!!!

OMG!!!

Look at all the dust here!

And this terrifying creature that resided in my blog over the past few months!



DIE YOU STUPID THING!!! DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ahem.

So in all honesty, this blog totally slipped my mind. I would not have remembered it if it were not for Davey



The "good and innocent man" that I love to torture.

So why now??

Mainly because I am currently working in the computer lab on campus, and I have absolutely nothing to do. So I thought, why not?

And FYI, I get paid to go on Facebook for 4 hours, 5 times a week.

TAKE THAT SUCKERS!!!

No pictures. I'd totally take one now, but one of my colleagues is sitting right across me. I am not very close with him, so pointing a camera in his direction (even though I have absolutely NO intention of being his paparazzi) would be extremely strange. And I have been working here for like what, 2 weeks now?

But much has happened since I last published a post on blogger.

I have a feeling that most of my friends that have a blogspot account may not be blogging anymore. Even so, I do want to continue to doodle nonsensical rantings on this site.

Until I think of something to do, TTFN! Tata for now!

California!!

Hellooo from LA!

I had a really good trip but its not over yet.

Here is a summary of my trip. From KLIA, we had a four hours flight to Taipei, where we transit there for about an hour, and from there, a 12-13 hours flight AAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL the way to LA!!!

I didn't get much sleep though because there was a whole lot of tv and movies to watch!

We all arrived safe and sound, and all our personal belongings with us. Praise the Lord :)

When we first stepped out of LAX, it was soooo coooool!!! Like someone installed an aircond outdoors!! Hehehe a glimpse of the chilly days ahead. And we all gave out our first tip to the shuttle van guy. Its American culture to tip, sort of like a service tax. Hehe

Its about 10.51pm now, and the night is not over!

The Petronas officer wants to take us out for a drink I think :)

BTW, there were 15 of us Petronas Scholars hehe.

Tomorrow, we split up. Kautsar and I will be going to Denver tomorrow morning.

This is a quickie. Will blog more later! If I don't feel lazy la hehe

A2

The A-levels results have been released today at 7am local time, and 12am UK time.

I woke up early at 7.30am because I could not sleep.

My heart was pounding fast for about half an hour after that.

When I keyed in my username and password on the website, I clicked log in, and freaked out.

I complained to Mun Kit, "OWH SHIT I PRESS LOG IN NOW I DON DARE TO LOOK!!!"

But the site was jammed that time -.-

And I was playing Secrets by One Republic on my Ipod, for dramatic effect.



I know, so dramatic right? Runs in the family :p

After summoning enough courage to just face the facts and look, this is what I saw



Praise the Lord, I did well :D

3As and one of them is an A star for Maths. Sadly, I did not get A for further maths. B for that one.

No, not because I super kiasu. I worked super duper hard on it, plus I owe it to my further maths lecturer who is so super smart and kind and patient with all of us. I wanted to win that A for her. None of us managed to do so, hence the increase in guilt! :(

I feel very grateful to all the lecturers and my friends too. Most importantly, God :)

People keep saying, do your best!

If it were to be based on "my best" only, I would have gotten just one A, and probably a C for Physics.

So yea, I did my best, but God did better, hence the other two As! Huge miracle!

Praise the Lord :)

And the best part is, most of my friends made it too :D

So we USA bound scholars are flying over to LA on 21st August. So fast right?

I can't believe this is happening :)

Missing In Action

Not really, I was just deprived of the internet for the past week. No cafe world :(

But luckily Kautsar is there to help me cook! Hehe

Hello people, I send you greetings from the Penang Island!

And in a few more hours, we will be in Cameron Highlands for the night together with Jeslyn, Badaq and Jon.

Just to update you on where I am now.

I just had the most interesting cheese roti bakar! Yumm hehe

Ok bai :p

Three Silly Giggly Girls

Mission one of my trip to KL is accomplished!

And I say that with enthusiasm and joy because to apply for an American Visa is not as easy or fun as it seems.

You need to go to Alliance bank to pay this, get the visa form from the university in USA, apply and pay for SEVIS, fill in DS-160 online, make sure the photograph meets all specifications, run here run there, do this do that WARGH!!!!

The fact that you cannot and MUST NOT get anything wrong made it all the more stressful! One wrong thing and no visa for you!

After a whole lot of miscommunication between the uni and with friends, I finally managed to get everything ready before I proceeded to the final step.

Kautsar, Jessie and I got the interview on the same day. We all know how terrible KL jams are, so thank God we made it just in time for Kautsar to check in!

The American embassy is really cool. It gave me the whole "White House" feel, only the building was not white in colour.



My appointment time at the embassy was at 8.50am, but I only left the place at 11am. It took two hours because of the waiting process, but the interview itself took less than 5 minutes.

And security there is tight! We had to leave our IC, handphones, cameras, Ipods, MP3 players and other electronic devices at the front gate. They even took my set of sewing needles away. I totally forgot about them hehe

I even overheard this African guy have a heated argument with security, to which she sternly replied, "Sir you are not an American citizen. If you are going to be angry I will not let you in." True enough she did not, because I never saw him inside after that. It pays to be patient I guess.

Since they took my stuff away, I could not take pictures of the embassy's compound. It looked really nice, and again, the whole white-house-splendour feel came as I walked towards the building from the gate.

The entire waiting process was so long. There were so many people, and it seemed as though they were skipping numbers! One moment it was A62, and the next it was A80. What happened to the numbers in between? Hmm...

Even though it was another slow day at the embassy, the people working at the counters were really nice. There was this sweet American lady who was in her late-forties, and she greeted everyone with a friendly "Good morning" even though they kept her waiting after she called their number. I like her hehe

While waiting for my turn for the interview, I was so nervous and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

Before I went to the embassy today, I always thought that the interviews were done in a dark boardroom where you have to sit across a panel of interviewers. The two or three of them would start drilling you with questions and shred you to pieces in anyway they can! And one of the interviewers will be this old white-haired American guy enjoying himself as you turn into a speck of dust during the interview.

Does it ring a bell? How about this picture:



Yup, I thought I was going to walk in a room just like that and have my interview done, only I did not expect this fellow to be there.



Yes I have a wild imagination, and I should probably stop watching so much TV now :(

I was relieved, but slightly disappointed when I found out that the interviews will be conducted at a counter through a glass window that separates us from them. No scary boardroom for me then.

The interviews can last up to half an hour, depending on the officers mood. But sadly, mine lasted about 5 minutes :(

Why sadly? I mean, I should be glad because I passed and the dreadful process of applying for VISA is finally over, right?

I'll tell you why I am sad.

Because the officer was so so sooo handsome!!!!

I think he is an ABC (American borned Chinese). And he has such a cute American accent!! He was so so soooooooo nice to me! He even acknowledged the fact that CSM is a very good school! So smart!! Hahaha

Man, I wish I had the chance to talk longer with him.

Coincidentally, Kautsar, Jessie and I were interviewed by him. After we stepped out of the embassy, we squealed in delight as we talked about him. Haha Kautsar would like me to point out the fact that he talked to her the longest. Meh :p

What a way to start the day huh! Hehehe

Bandar Baru Bangi!

I love MAS.

But not this flight! Although the air-steward was kinda cute hehe :p

I am now in Bangi. Disturbing Kautsar. Mission one accomplished :D

I think her mum is delighted to received the three ikan masin terubok that my mum bought for her. I saw so many other boxes of those fish in the airport just now. Semenanjung people love fish I guess -.-

My visa interview is tomorrow, hopefully we can all make it.

So, three weeks of adventure in KL will begin, TOMORROW!

In a completely different story, we all know about the cliche question of "what are the three things that you would bring to a deserted island?"

Well my lovely brother asked me that question, and my reply was simple.

"I will bring you. To cook and clean up for me."

To which, that witty nut-case replied, "I will most probably find a way out, and leave you there!"

Wonderful. I love you too brother.

-.-

Smackdown

Remember my genius brother that I featured in my previous post?

I did something that I never imagined I would ever do with him.

See, when it comes to my brother, you do not joke about food. Especially HIS food.

For example, when my aunt bought him a box of Ferrero Rochers, he actually hid three pieces from him. Silly boy thought that I could not find them so perfectly and obviously perched on the door of the freezer.

A couple years ago, I went through a phase where I wanted to lose weight, so during Gawai, I promised myself that I would not drink a whole can of soft drinks. Instead, I would take sips here and there from my brother and sister. It got to the point where my brother would literally run and hide the can of coke in his hand from me everytime he sees me.

It goes both ways though. There were multiple times where I would also hide food from him.

So, my brother feels very strongly about his food. Remember I mentioned that he put my stuffed bear into the freezer because I ate his chocolate??



The next day, we went to our aunt's place for a big dinner. After dinner, I always helped myself to the fridge and look for desserts. There in a transparent container, I saw two pieces of Cadbury chocolates covered in golden wrapping.



I took them both out, and out of goodwill, thought that I would consider giving the other piece to my brother.

I broke them up, and popped one into my mouth as I walked back to the kitchen.

It was then when my eyes were opened.

The piece of chocolate that I was munching in my mouth tasted, so heavenly.

It was not like the other Cadbury chocolates.

Not like any of those in the picture below



Or like the other flavours. Not dairy milk, not dream, not fruits and nuts.

It was different.

In the middle of the chocolate was a very rich vanilla tasting white chocolate.

It was heavenly!

I was almost done with that piece when my mother wanted to take the other piece from me. But I pretended that I did not want to give it to her. Spoiled little princess is suppose to get everything :p

And then, out of no where, BOOM!!!!

My brother attacked me from behind, trying to snatch the other piece of chocolate from my hand!!!

What was I to do?

Only one option, fight back!!

A quite simple after-dinner-chat turned into the Jawing Offspring Smackdown!!



We were not jumping on top of each other and hurling each other around.

I was still sitting down, and his arms were around my neck in a choking position!

What a struggle!

Felixon attempted to gross me out by licking my hand that held on to the chocolate so dearly. But his attempts did nothing, so I proceeded to actually biting his arm!

I even kneed him in the face!

Lets not forget that my brother is twice my size and is stronger than me.

He managed to grab hold of my hand and tried to pry my fingers open. I was on the verge of losing!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not let him win like that! It was a matter of pride, and not to mention the VERY LAST PIECE OF THE HEAVEN-LIKE CHOCOLATE!!!!

I acted fast, swiftly passed the chocolate to my other hand that was free and TOUCHDOWN!!! quickly put it in my mouth and started chewing!!!

VICTORY!!!!

CHAMPION!!!!!! Woohoo!!!



Haha

Bet you did not see that one coming! Neither did my mum, aunt and uncle who witnessed the entire thing and just laughed.

Ok, this is the first time my brother and I had a physically struggle over food, or over anything at all! And it was so violent! Haha

Both of us did not want the chocolate that badly, please do not misunderstand me.

My brother just wanted to annoy me by stealing that piece of chocolate from me, and I wanted to annoy him back by not letting him have it.


Excuse my hair, its a little messy. Excuse his hair, its LINDA PORN'S WIG!!!!

Haha one of the many nonsense my family goes through :D

Runs In The Family

Yup. Us Jawing offsprings are quite a "talented" bunch.

A few years ago, during my high school years, I was rather active in writing. I wrote in my blog, I wrote articles for the local newspaper under the Junior Jurnalist Program (I did it for the money!!), and not forgetting those nasty essays that we have to write for our SPM English paper.

I always knew that my brother was smart, and had a bunch of his own talents up his sleeves. For example, he converted his backpack into a stereo-radio thing, he built a cooling fan for the modem, was very involved in robotics at school and many more.

Can you imagine, THIS guy did ALL that??


Whats with the flower in his hair???

Another Albert Einstein? Perhaps. But until he wins his first Nobel prize, he shall be known as the annoying brother who does stupid things to annoy me and everyone else around him.



It is as though he lives to annoy me!

He hid my precious Pooh bear in a plastic bag, INSIDE A FREEZER!!! Why? Because I ate the second last piece of his Toblerone white chocolate

-.-


The traumatised victim of the "khiew moh"

Anyway, back to the main point.

It appears that my brother has a knack for writing too. It is very much proven in his new blog that is completely dedicated to the school at http://keropoktownian.wordpress.com/

Not only that, he blasted the mind of his English teacher with his wit and creativity for writing in his previous exam paper.

I read the essay, and I have to admit, I am very impressed.

Since sharing is caring, I will post his essay here in my blog, unedited and word for word. Happy reading!

What Would You Do If You Had Super Powers?

The cancellation of the hit series Heroes by NBC Network have sparked anger in the many millions of fans all around the world. Heroes, a television series about individuals discovering that they have super powers, had planted many questions in our head. The biggest question is “What would you do if you had super powers?”

When we were small, most if not all of us had dreamt of having superpowers and flying here and there to save people. After many years, our views may have change. So, what would I do if I had superpowers? My answer would not be as direct or pure as to saving people, but it depends greatly on what type of power I have.

Telekinesis would be a handy power. It is the power to move objects or apply force on objects with nothing but our minds. I would not say that I would be out to rescue people if I had this power, or any other power, but I would most likely use it to my advantage. As a lazy person, I would most likely use this power to reach for things, like the remote, when it is too far for my hands to reach. Yes, this might sound lazy, but at least I am not out killing people.

If I had mind powers, powers to control people’s thinking and action and also reading their minds, I would use it most when I am about to buy things. I would “convince” the salesman to sell the item I want at a very low price, less than RM5 to be exact. I could also use these powers to read minds so that I can find out my enemies secrets. But if I were to use this power for good, I would join the police force and use it to interrogate suspects or “convince” them into telling the truth. I guess it would be noble of me to do so, but a policeman’s pay is not good enough for me. So I am going with ripping off salesmen and “convincing” people to give me money.

It would be fascinating to have cellular regenerating powers, or in simple terms, healing powers. I would be a thrill junkie and do crazy things like jumping off buildings or engaging myself in any activity that would kill me, knowing that I would not die. If I want to make my life meaningful, I may, and may only, join the rescue team. Saving people from burning buildings so that more people could live. But this is highly unlikely as I would be too lazy to do so.

Shape shifting would be perfect for me now. I would change my shape and turn it into a slim, muscular and attractive body. Shape shifting would also be good in the art of deception. I can change my face, fingerprints and every biological aspect of my body to form a new identity. This would be handy I ever have the need to rob banks, doing so while staying incognito. It is also great if I need to hide from somebody, like any mad ex-girlfriend I have.

Forget Flash, I want Hiro! In case you were wondering, Flash is a superhero that can move very fast while Hiro Nakamura is a time traveller. The ability to control time would be great especially during exams. During the exam, I would freeze time and take a peek of Ai Ling’s (the smartest girl in my class) answers while the rest of the world is frozen in time. If I was really desperate, I could also take out the reference book and have an open book test. When all my work is done, I would just simply keep the books, un-freeze time and hand my work in. Who knows, maybe I am doing it right now! Besides being a time traveller, Hiro also has teleportation powers. Imagine the steps and energy I would save if I just teleported myself to the toilet instead of walking there. Life would be great if I had those powers, but of course, I would not travel back to the past as changing a single thing in the past could greatly change or affect the future. That is called the “Butterfly Effect”.

Lastly, invisibility, the power to become invisible. If I had those powers, I could be a spy for the government. Gathering information for our country. Forget that, I would most likely use this power to sneak into movies, spy on some people that I know or may not know or even occasional visits to the girls changing room (I probably should not have wrote the last part!)

All in all, the power that is given will determine what I would do or become. To think of it, I do not think that I will be a superhero. Nor would I be a supervillan. I guess I would be classified as a norman, neither hero nor villan, not doing much good but not committing very evil things.

Not bad aye?

His teacher gave him 44 out of 50! But she did advice him to NOT write that he would rob banks. And I am truly hoping that he is kidding about the whole peeping-tom thing.

For your information, that essay is a true and complete reflection of who my brother is. If you guessed lazy and cheapskate, then you are one hundred percent correct!



And I am truly thankful that he does not have any superpowers.

Can you imagine what sort of misery he would put me through by using his powers against me????



Ugh...

Final Moments

Yes. I have not been blogging for a long time now. Some stuff happened and well, most of you know what it is. I would prefer very much to not talk about it here and now though.

Anyway, during the one month of my absence from this ol' blog, much has happened ever since I finished my A-Levels in KDU.

I vandalised Sterling by drawing on the walls.

I threw rocks into the pool in Sterling.

I went to KDU and turned all the tables and chairs upside down in one classroom, just for the heck of it.

I spread a nasty rumour about one of the lecturers to the juniors and now her image is ruined forever.

I turned down the offer to go to Colorado School of Mines because I got accepted into UCLA. HELLO CALIFORNIA BOYS!!!

I got casted in Glee and will be overthrowing that nasty and annoying Rachel Berry, because I am the one that truly deserve that gold star!!

Yay Glee!!!

Just kidding. None of the above is true. But I am guessing that all of u already know that anyway.

For most people, they would hit the town and celebrate the end of their nasty exams together with their friends. I did that.

Then they would be busy packing all their stuff from their hostels into boxes and bags and throw away the heaps of nonsense that they bought but used once only. I did that too.

After that, they would have some sort of reunion as a farewell together with their classmates. I did that too.

Lastly, they would go on a holiday and enjoy themselves to the fullest! I did not do that.

Sad no? Allow me to walk you down memory lane, of what has happened in the last month of my absence.

On the last day of exams, Hifzhul, Jeslyn and I planned to go out and celebrate. But before that, STUDY FOR PHYSICS FIRST!!!


Study study!!

My last meal in KDU. Nasi goreng ayam

It was the last day for the three of us, but the others still had a paper the next day. So, after exams, while waiting for the rain to subside, Jes and I took advantage of an empty classroom to do nonsense. Poor Amalina was dragged into the nonsense as well. Hehe


Gleek!!

Jessie's big ass

LOL obscene much?


After the rain, it was karaoke time!



Trust me when I say that Jeslyn Ling is the best person to go karaoke with. She crazy haha

Then there was dinner with Hiffy at Italianniese, followed by back to back movies!!

We ate so much! Such greedy people -.-


Salad!!

Hiffy eyeing the food longingly...

I woke up the next morning and started packing. I have so much stuff and I don't even know how I managed to end up with so much crap in this two years period!


The start of a tornado...

After packing and packing, and repacking again, I still could not bring everything back to Kuching. I ended up lugging two luggages with a combined weight of 29kg, one back pack full of stuff, and a laptop bag all the way back to Kuching. I had to give away other unnecessary things to the juniors, or throw it away. And I still have two bags that I left at Kautsar's place in Bangi.

On the day the Arts fellas finished their last paper, Ms Sathya and the other lecturers in pre-u department threw us a little farewell party. It was super nice of them to go through all the effort. And Ms Sathya even baked TWO cakes for us! We are loved :D


Us and the lecturers :)

Look at the food.... yum yum..

The science nerds and our favourite Chemistry lecturer :D

GUYS this nonsense is suppose to stay IN the house!!

With F4, Jie and Jessie :D

Our usual catfight over Derek Paul

Don't kiss me!!

The night ended in One Utama, where the Petronas juniors were uber sweet enough to buy dinner for about 20 of us!


Petronas Seniors + Juniors :)

On Sunday, I said a small farewell to my fellow sheep from Sheep United. The last time I were to see them before I go back to Kuching. But fret not guys, I will be back in a couple weeks time :)


Together with Papa and Mama Sheep, Beatrice and Rachel

Shiny Shin Yi :D

The reason why I did not go on a holiday immediately after exams was because of BTN.

Yup, on Monday, the Petronas gang from KDU and Taylors headed out to Ulu Sepri in Negeri Sembilan for the Biro Tatanegara course that is mandatory for all outward bound scholars.

One entire week in BTN.

In a jungle.

In the middle of nowhere in Negeri Sembilan.

It was not as bad as I thought it would be. The people there were very careful with their words, especially after the whole BTN scandal.

They fed us plenty, but had fish in almost every meal T.T

But the annoying thing were the bugs. SO MANY OF THEM. As if thats not bad enough, there were BEES!!!!!

BEES IN THE TOILET BEES IN THE BEDROOM BEES IN THE CLASSROOM BEES EVERY WHERE!!!!

I hate bees!!

One of the very reason why I was not completely attentive in class was because of the bees. They kept flying in through the window and would repetitively BANG their heads on the wall thinking they can escape by phasing through the walls. Stupid. And there was also a HUGE WASP!! The very scary looking sort!!

When BTN ended, I was so glad to get away from all them bees. Hmph...

Anyway, the Petronas scholars were not the only ones in BTN. There were scholars from MARA, JPA, and MINDEF as well. There were over 100 scholars over there.

BTN would have been boring if not for each other and the new friends that we met.



That is Hanif (guy in the middle) from Sabah. HE HAS THE CUTEST SABAHAN ACCENT EVER!!! He is an orang Sungai, not Malay, and he is very soft spoken as well. Haha I love to hear him talk because of his accent. Sounds almost like Indonesian. The others agreed with me too hehe.


On our last day in BTN.

Petronas boys together with the Penghulu

Official meeting of PERSATUAN BORNEO is in order. Some jealous people keep interrupting!! Hmph

Oops! Pendatang tanpa izin dari MINDEF!! Haha

I have to say, Petronas really takes good care of us. They provided us with a bus, to and fro! Some of the other scholars had to pay for their own transportation or relied on their parents to fetch them :s

I went back to Kuching a day after BTN.

Up until now, I still have two luggages unpacked, and have been lazying on my bed while playing with my laptop. My mother calls me a statue because all I do is just sit/lay there the entire day, not doing anything.

But I did accomplish a few things since I got back here:

- completed season 7 and 8 of the series 24
- read Breaking Dawn
- halfway through my VISA application
- unpacked only one of my luggage
- watched loads of movies in the cinema and on my laptop

Very lazy. And unmotivated. And bored.

Well, that was a brief summary of what I went through before I came back to Kuching

Until the next time, ciao people :)
