The Year Before 2008

Wow it’s been half a year since I last posted (first posted -.-) something.

One would wonder wad can be done in 3 months. Some go for vacation, some find a job to keep themselves occupied. Those are useful things where you can get new experience.

How about me?
The first few things in sequence that I do every morning :
On computer
On msn
Wash up then breakfast
Chat/ gaming
-_-‘’’
Every day just come and go away like that. MSN I can on whole day without chatting, but still I on it. I want to play many sports, but there isn’t anyone to go with. People asked me why have I never looked for a part time work rather than staying at home everyday. I tell you, when your mind isn’t set to do something, you won’t feel like doing it. Not because that I’m not ‘willing to be separated from my computer’ like what my mum said. -.-


Anyway, it’s new year! 2007 has gone and 2008 is here. And I can’t stop noticing 2008 has 366 days. haha


The time now is 10.03pm 5/1/2008. 5/366 days have passed already. Fast moh? To me the countdown felt just like yesterday. Just showing you guys how fast time seem to fly now. Haha

Here, I’m writing my review from 2007; a rather challenging year for me. But I also had some pretty good time as well.

It’s January, and SPM was a month earlier. So, it’s full time gaming -.- I can’t remember much from here because basically I was with Maple from morning till night.

That time I was still uncertain about where I’m going actually. Waiting for scholarship, but it never came. So going to Curtin was a quite last minute decision then suddenly the NS thingy pop up. I completely forgot about it, and the 2nd batch timing is rather bad with Curtin’s intake. It was a hectic few days settling all those stuffs but eventually I deferred NS, and eventually I’m exempted from it^^. Well, nothing to be regretted really =)

Somewhere in February, I finally reached wad I was aiming for in Maple : Lvl 70. haha





2/4
Here i'll start from the Orientation Week. I should say this is an important week where I get to know the uni, get to know where to go if hungry, get to know important toilet locations, get to be injected with the fear of the threat if you plagiarise, get to know some new friends (though amazingly I can’t remember seeing any of my classmate during that one week) and many things la. I got into the lamest, coldest group, “The Beat Nix ”. Not sure about the spelling but the meaning is fitting haha. I don’t mind that, but that annoying smoking girl in my group, I mind -.- ugh.
Anyway, I'm very happy in that one week, you know. Probably the happiest one in 2007 =)

Then I started going to class and do carpooling wif Sing Ong. He's a great guy, a great fren, a great son. Holy also haha. And I get to know him as a very determined and bright, intelligent person. It's great to know him ^^.
Other significant happening was the passing of my grandpa. He was 86. A sad time really, and it was made even worse by the coincidence with many assignments. I guess i just managed to drag myself over that period.

Can't remember wad month le now. It wasn't a very long semester and suddenly there came the final exam -.-. My preparation was awful I think. Partly because of too many last minute work and mostly just totally "no heart" to study. Then my famous last minute study came to action again haha.





3/4

There comes the month long holiday. The one I was waiting for just to achieve this:

Lvl 100 haha. Idiot me. Another month wasted -_-'''

This one month is similar to the ones im having now ( the boot comp, log in msn sequence). As the time is around mid year, I did find time to meet up with old buddies from sec school, sharing stories and all those stuffs. And i realised how much more stories they have compared to me. I have no problem with that; it's their life and i have my own life. But still, there's envy from me towards them for having a more 'kick-up life'. haha

The result came out and as expected it wasn't very satisfying. Serve me right ~.~

As in Maple, I ended the one month break Lvl 102 ( lame i know -.- ahaha)





4/4
Probably the longest one here. From wad I saw, Sing Ong and me (we are virtually one, because go everywhere also together -.- and fyi me and him have no complicated relationship) with the rest of the class are not really that close. Not to say not really that close la haiya I also duno how to say.

But things really started clicking in Sem 2 where classmates become closer. We hang out more we talk more we crap more we laugh more. And we do last minute work together more (lol -_-).
These are some pictures of them ( with me as well) :



















Abhi, Hsiang, Khaliq (Bubu), Dhiren (Dhibu), Marco, Kelvin





















Kam Cheng, Ah Ming <3,>























Me, Sing Ong, Kelvin


I wish I'd taken more pictures, but i din so sorry if u missed luuuuuu feiiii jieee jieeeeee, angnes jie jie, jenny jie jie, the ghey billy ( in Maple he plays girl character, memang ghey f3), 'class representative' MengPore( equvalent to ketua kelas in schools), our 'brilliant' physic lecturer(=P) and many more. I'll learn to take more pictures next time.

Moving on now, and I've completely lost track of the timeline. Whichever came first don care la.

Another sad thing that happened was : I've had my first time.

First time : Car accident.

The only reason why I'm driving like I've just gotten the P license the week before was because of the accident. I don wanna go to much in detail about it. Just imagine when you are so close to kill someone. But I swore, I swore that i really didnt see the motorcycle coming. Pointless to say anyway, happened liaw. That few days were really really hard for me. I only told a few people, namingly 2 person that i trusted because if people come to me and ask about it, i don't know how to answer. Keeping my mouth totally shut wont help too so at least there're ppl i can talk to. The dark memory will remain in my head for a while. Hopefully it can go away sooner rather than later.


Take a deep breath and clear your heads from that.

Ready to continue?


haha. On a brighter side, I stayed overnight at the campus for the first time, for a camp. PreU camp they call it.


















Student Saviour


And again I was kuku enough to take only this picture from the short camp. It's a nice, interesting and useful camp to me. ( I didnt fall asleep during talks). Like i said in my friendster profile ( this 'robot' is there too) it was a short, but meaningful camp =)
Clock continues to tick and soon assignments, presentations and projects and everything were done.



















Bubu always look innocent in pictures. Why? lol


This one was after Chem Project Presentation.

























Last VB Lecture


I wish i still have the one before i scribbled on it. Haih -.-

Then it's the Final Exam. Then the result was released (I see in tears T_T). Then the 3 months holiday started.

Then here I am. Halfway through the break.

To conclude the year, I guess it has the ups and downs, the joy and pain, and all the satisfactions and disappointments, though the (-) ones outweighs the (+) ones. Now 2007 is just a memory, but the setbacks can be taken as a lesson. And for the things I've worked hard upon all along, I'll continue striving.

Bring on 2008!
