Worn out....

Its been a while since my last post. This is mostly due to the inefficiency of Streamyx who took almost a whole week to transfer the internet connection from the old house to the new one. Ah and i just recently moved into my new house and am still getting used to it.

College started about a week ago. This term, I'll be taking 4 papers as well as an additional one which i have to resit IF i fail it. Well, this means that I will have to spend more time in front of the notes than i usually do. Financial accounting and Managerial accounting isn't that hard due to the fact that I have done the basics twice in CAT already. The other two papers are relatively new to me and will involve a lot of theory and application work. The Audit paper will require me to spend more nights trying to memorize every single fact about auditing when i don't have an idea on how auditing works. I mean, how can you teach something which only involves practical work on paper and have an exam on it. The other paper, which is Taxation, is much more enjoyable. At least there's more computation involve and less theory. Plus, the lecturer is rather strict and attractive.

Classes this term starts and ends at a rather odd time. On Mondays to Wednesdays, classes starts at 11.30 am and ends at 6 pm. On Thursdays, it starts at 8 am and ends at 2.30pm. Oh and i have Fridays off. There's no lunch break for us in between classes, so we wont be having our Dota time anymore. Classes are getting more and more exhaustive nowadays. This is because we will have to give our full attention during classes (especially during Audit and Tax) or risk being confused for the rest of the semester.

About the new house, well you can ask Sher Rin about it. I'm sure she has lots to talk about since she has probably seen it more often than me when it was being constructed. I'll probably invite a few people over in August (a few cause my parents wouldn't like it if I have too many people in the house) just to hang out.

Emerald....

Somehow, I just got attracted to this colour/gem. Maybe it's cause I'm still full of hope, still hoping that it will all change. The emerald city above shows what i am longing for which is hope as well as love. Just imagine how beautiful it will be to have an entire city lighted up in emerald.


It's been a quiet week, everyday was spent helping out with the finishing touches at the site of the new house. Maybe next week I'll have more free time on my hands, a week before classes starts again

Worries...

Well the holidays have already started, so I'm practically free everyday to go out (which i did only on one day). I won't be recapping the exams as it will only cause me to worry more and more about it. Instead I'll just highlight the interesting and exceptional events.

June 9th
Was supposed to go down to Klang again for another Bak Kut Teh brunch. Unfortunately, i wasn't feeling well in the morning (migraine and a bad cough) so i skipped it instead. The afternoon was spent going to furniture malls with my mom to try and find some furniture and possibly a bar counter for my room and house. Spend almost 6 hours going from one place to another. The last stop was the furniture mall near the BU area (not sure what its called). I was inquiring about the bar counter which they sold there when i noticed someone entered the shop as well. Didn't get a good look at first but then later saw Sab's mom and then i recognize the back of the girl who was just sitting on the couch in front of me. Surprise, surprise, it was indeed Sab and I can't believe she didn't even see me even though i was standing there all the while.

June 10th
Had an outing with Sher Rin, Sab, Wani, Adeline, Kalkena, Dina and Dinesh. We practically did nothing other than talk for the whole time we were in 1u. Spent about 3-4 hours (not sure) in Italiannes for a really long lunch. Then later headed to MPH to get some books (I bought the entire Age of Five trilogy) and to talk around the cookbook section. After that we stopped by Secret Recipe to get cakes and continue our talking. Finally we made our way to check out some movies (old and new).

June 14th
The gathering at Sab's house for dinner was simply awesome. The food and the company is nice. After dinner, we sat and chit-chat for a while and then decided to head to McDs to continue talking. We did nothing much other than talking and relieving old memories while sharing more recent stories. As usual, i just sat at one corner and listen to the stories being told around. Feels like we've drifted apart and it's cause I've not been making effort to keep in touch with any one of them.

June 16th
Whole day was spent out looking for a study desk for my room. After a long time of choosing, i finally settled for one that costs almost RM 4000. But i feel that it is worth every cent as i might be using it for a long time. Other than that, I'm still looking for the bar counter and now a bookcase that matches the colour of my desk.


Well up to now I still haven't decided on what to do with my emotions yet. Maybe I'll just find someone to consult to and then decide about it after I've moved in to the new house. For now, there's plenty more to worry about other than that issue and there have been a couple of unpleasant events which had happened recently so i might let it be for now since it's still in a mess.

5 more days...

Its finally exam week. I'm still surfing the net and not studying as hard as those who are about to sit for the same papers as me. Oh well, looks like I'll just have to cramp everything into my head in a day or two. Exams are just around the corner but somehow i still found time to go out and enjoy myself.

Drove down to Klang on Wednesday for some Bak Kut Teh with Michelle and co. It was indeed an interesting trip. I left home at 10.30 am and made my way down to PJ Old Town to pick up Hoong Kin. After picking him up, I backtracked to State and made my way to Federal Highway from there. Journey to Klang was uneventful as it was just a straight road all the way to Klang toll. After the Klang toll, we were supposed to follow Ellie's directions to her house which i printed on a piece of paper for Hoong Kin to read it out to me. Unfortunately, he is a slow reader so i had to make many last minutes turn or jerks to the correct lane. Took an hour to reach there with his help (i think i can get there faster if someone else was with me) , wait for 5 mins or so for Michelle to arrive then made our way to the shop. After lunch, we headed to Aeon Bukit Tinggi to 'study' and get Mun Hoe's gift. Spend a few hours there then went back to Michelle's house where there's a Pasar Malam and we walked one round there (not sure why we went there in the first pace). Left Klang at 6.30, dropped Hoong Kin off at 7 and reached home at 7.30 (took less time going back then getting there due to me maintaining a 90-100 km/h).

Friday was Mun Hoe's birthday party. It was a barbecue party but apparently almost everyone there including Mun Hoe don't have any experience. Most of the food were burnt, and the charcoal even exploded once, tossing all the chicken into the air and garden. After the party was almost over, we had a few glasses of Martel and red wine with a game of cards. Left the party at 11.30 and headed to A&W for supper.

Until now I'm still trying to get into the mood to study. Funny that this is supposed to be a major exam and yet I'm taking it so lightly. Oh well, time to hit the books now i guess, or maybe the bed. (I'll do the tag some other time Ade)

Hanging on...

My emotions are failing me again. I'm feeling like I'm being pulled into 2 parts. One part of me want to message her, a chat however short will already be satisfactory. However, my other part just don't know what to talk about. Somehow i just can't find the words or link it together to start up a conversation with her. That's why my other part is holding me back, forcing me to decide on what to talk about before even saying hello.

I don't know why this is happening to me. It might not seem as the Weng Hoe you all know who is talkative and sociable. I am able to talk to anyone i wanted to but somehow, just somehow she is the only one who is able to make me speechless and I will sometimes just forget what to say when i see her. People who knows me will think that i don't know the meaning of the word 'shy'. However, I might be experiencing it at this particular moment. Maybe I'm just too shy to talk to her.

I've been imagining this situation in my mind over and over again, predicting countless outcomes and reactions as well as what to say. I know some of you out there will think that I'm pretty stupid to be doing so much prep work just to talk to someone but it's just the way i work. Also I've been promising to myself that I would pick up the courage and talk to her even planning out what to say in order to keep the conversation going. But when the time comes, I would just suddenly forget every single thing like how it is right now.

Maybe it's because i haven't learn to open up to people yet due to some events in my past. It has not only made me more conservative but also more secretive to my friends. Think about it, how many of you can honestly say that you know about me, my lifestyle, my habits, what i like most, my hobbies and most of all my past. Most people might see me as a hypocrite if they realize how i am hiding behind a 'mask' deceiving everyone, but this is not what i want and it is because of my past. I've been hiding behind a 'mask' since secondary school and this 'mask' has grown onto me. Also, i don't only hide behind one 'mask' as i am constantly changing it due to the different people i meet. Its been so long since i last look back at my 'original face' and this has cause me to almost forget who i really am. And it's these 'mask' which i have to remove in order to be myself again can't be remove without help.

There are only 3 people in this world (other than her) who can help me now. Those 3 are the people whom i met at different stages of my life and they've been giving me support whether or not they realize it. 2 of them are my closest friends, friends who has earned partial trust from me. One of them is just a friend whom can somehow make me open up a little more while talking to me. These 3 may not realize but they're making a huge impact in my life, positively that is. The funny thing is, these 3 people are all girls.

Enough ranting. I guess I'll just hit the bed and try to forget about it as the reason I'm posting this right now is because she's online and i just can't talk to her.

A while more...

It's been a while since i last blogged. Well i can say that i've been busy 'studying' or rather trying to study for my majors which will be on the 4th, 5th and 6th of June. But still i've not scrapped my old habit of studying at the last moment (usually a day or two before the exam dates) and it has made studying a really tough task.

Saturday

Had to pull myself out of bed early in the morning as i had to reach Pavillion with my sis and bro by 10.30 am for a special screening of Prince Caspian (not really special but it was for donation). Woke up late at around 8.50 and that gives me around 15-20 mins to get ready and to fill up my stomach at the same time. Reached Pavillion at 10 am cause i (we actually) skipped breakfast but i managed to order a 1901 hotdog to be delivered to my seat in the hall during the movie. I got to say the movie is indeed nice. It is not what i expected and i enjoyed myself throughout the movie. After the movie, we headed to Nandos to have lunch. Then later my sister decided to go on her shopping spree so i departed on my own and walked around the mall. Met ser siang and may ee there who were waiting to go watch the same movie. Finally, after an hour my sister called and said we were going home. Since we didnt drive there, we walked all the way to the monorail station at Lot 10, took it to KL Sentral and then LRT back to KJ.

Reached home at about 4.40-5.00 feeling really exhausted from all the walking.I gave up trying to study for the day and sat down in front of the computer. At about 6.30 my dad called back and told us to postpone the reservation for the Japanese Buffet at Saisaki Suishi to 7.30 instead of canceling it. So we rushed all the way back to KL again to Wisma OUG 2 which is just nearby Pavillion. The food there is ok. They had a large selection of food, not only Japanese but also Chinese and Western food. However, the environment there is a little too noisy and not like any other buffet places i've been to.


Sunday

Did some studying today (only Chapter 1 and 2 of T5) but spent most of the time sleeping. The only time i was awake in the afternoon was to watch Wind Chill and for lunch. Slept all the time until the evening when i woke up to study and then later dinner.

After dinner, we headed to Giant to grab some groceries and ended up spending almost 2 hours there. Came back home, unpacked the groceries and then watched the Life and Death of Bobby Z which is a pretty pointless show in my opinion.

Uneventful...

An uneventful week just passed by. Other than a small gathering with some of the old 'cengal gang' on 30th night, i've been staying home every other day until monday.

30th (Wednesday)

The small gathering with the others went pretty well. Somehow i was the first to reach there (i was even earlier than ethan who organize it) though it was around 7.40 already. We were suppose to meet outside cineleisure at 7.30 but as usual most of them are late. Only had to wait for a couple of minutes till Ethan arrived. We then had to wait for the other 7 who were coming. Kar May, Chiaw Yee and Khei Sze were next to arrive and then the 5 of us adjourned to Laundry to get a plate of calamaris to munch while waiting for the others. Kit Weng joined us a while later and next it was Sab. Finally, Meng Leong and Wei Kit arrived and we left Laundry to search for a place to eat. We finally settled on 1920 and got the waiters/waitresses there to arrange the couches for us to sit. We sat, ate, talked and joked about there and left at 10

1st (Thursday)

Woke up late (really late at 10 am) when i was suppose to play football with Wei Kit and co. This was due to me staying up unti 5.30 am watching Liverpool v Chelsea. I wanted to continue staying awake until it was time to go but somehow i fell asleep in front of the TV without my alarm clock. Anyway, sorry for not being able to come for that football session guys.

5th & 6th (Monday & Tuesday)

It was EDC/EFC session for T3. The entire lecture hall was packed with students from 3 groups. Honestly, I never did learn or revise anything while attending those classes. All i did most of the time was sleep and talk. Monday was pretty uneventful as i slept 80% of the time. Tuesday was a little different. Us guys ended up sitting at the last and second last row which allowed us a lot of freedom to do anything we wanted to.
