Penang...

Today is my LAST day of holiday =( Going back to Penang and tomorrow classes are starting.I have mix feelings about starting the semester.

I am not eager to start class cos it means that i will have to wait until the end of the year to have another holiday.There will be breaks in between but it is not the same as the one you get once you are done with the exams.

On the other hand,I am looking forward so that i start being organised in my studies,stay focused and try out the new approach to tackling the exams (Thanks Kat for the tips.Gonna apply it early so that i can pass my papers in one sitting).I want to be prepared for this semester's papers from the beginning so that when the exams come,i don't have to burn the midnight oil.This is my GOAL for this semester.

But that doesn't mean i will be studying 24/7.I want to have the time to enjoy myself too.Planning to hang out with my cousin and friends when i am in Penang and then when back in AS,go for my dance lessons and play badminton.That way,i will have a balance of everything.

Easy to say,hopefully it is that easy to put them into action too.Wish me luck....

As i said i would..

I just LOVE to listen to them talk and watch them play with their friends.

Dogs

My three dogs sleeping.

Wonder what they have been up to the whole night to be sleeping so soundly...

Little girl

Little girl from the nursery...

When she came to the nursery she was only a year old..using her milk bottle,baby talk and wants people to carry..

Now,she is 2 years old..She talks a lot but that is after i was there for a few times.The first few times,don't think she remembers who i am so she was shy,very shy.But,the more times i was there,the closer she came to me (when i was playing with the other kids) and FINALLY..one day,she started talking to me and since then,it is nonstop.Every time i am there she will hold my finger and make me follow her and sometimes i am not allowed to go back home.

She is one little girl who loves to look pretty (her sister is the total opposite).What i wear is or how i look is usually not nice according to her.The only thing that is nice is what she is wearing,how she ties her hair and also..how she ties my hair.Yap,she CAN tie my hair but it hurts A LOT.I will be 'ouch-ing' the whole time.Don't know how those little fingers of hers can hold SO tightly and tie them.

The photo below is of me with my hair done by this little girl without anyone's help.She did it all by herself.That pink scrunchy is not mine.She took it out from her hair and used it on me cos i did not have any with me.For a 2 year old,it is not bad,right?And she says i look nice like that (the ONLY time she says i look nice).


Another thing that she LOVES doing is taking photos..She will ask for my hp if i happen to take it out.This photo was taken by her..


How not to like her?

I will upload the video of her talking and singing next time..

Anybody....?

I am SO HUNGRY right now..

Who wants to go makan with me?

Or who wants to 'tapau' for me food?

I feel like eating KFC or kari mee or maggi goreng..

Lazy days

Holiday is going to end SOON (next week starting class)..SIGH!

Lately been doing nothing interesting.Just staying at home and trying to minimise movements cos the weather is so hot,move a little more and i have to go take a bath.So..what do i do?Eat,sleep,watch tv and read book (My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult..The book is okay.I find Silent Boy by Torey Hayden more interesting).The only time i go out is to fetch my brother from school and play badminton.Other than that..don't remember since the Old town and Fresh..

Maybe i should go out today for a change instead of sleeping since i have only a few more days before my holidays end..Badminton tonight,that's for sure and.."Aunty Amelia,deal.We go makan later..."

Why?

Why every semester will face problems with getting the textbooks?

First semester,got our textbook late but it was a good book.Second semester,got it very late and the book was not that good.Tried to get the other publisher but ALL the bookstores did not have it.Finally,after searching for so,so long (a month before exam) managed to get it from ebay.

Now,the third semester..Know that the college will be providing the 'not-that-good' book and will be late,so thought of taking a step earlier and get the book before lectures start.BUT..can't seem to find the book.Friend wanted to get from MPH but there is none.I tried finding on ebay but there is none.Tried the official website for that publisher but there is none.

Where else should i find?

My shoes

My shoes arrived way,way,WAY earlier than expected.It is so comfy and fits nicely.Now i REALLY have to find a dance class to attend..Anybody staying in AS who wants to learn dancing and be my partner?

Fun day

Today was really FUN.

Morning went out with sis.Though was a little sleepy but we still enjoyed ourselves..talking to the ladies and joking with them.I always thought that those people will be scary but they are not that bad,very friendly.

Had lunch while watching Korean movie online..Love story in Harvard.

Then it was a little gathering at Old Town.So nice to be able to see them.Some i have not seen for more than a year.So..a lot of catching up.

Went back to Convent after that as one of them had to fetch her sis from choral speaking practice.Looking at them practice reminded us of our time when we had to go spend our evenings in the same room...enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Finally...boss from the nursery asked us out for dinner.Ended quite early and wanted to go shopping or movies but one of the teachers needed to go back.

So..here i am now..blogging.Gonna continue with my last episode of the movie and then off to dreamland.Tomorrow morning MIGHT go for badminton... (After all the makan,need some exercise..jaga badan =D)

*Hopefully tomorrow will be another fun day...

Silent Boy

Silent boy by Torey Hayden..

I bought this book because the cover looks interesting.Thought will give it a try as it was not something that i usually read.And it turned out that it was way,way better than i had expected.

It is about this boy,Kevin who could talk but refused to for 8 years until this teacher (Torey Hayden) came along.Her persistent and love made him speak again.But there was more to it than Kevin not speaking.His tragic past,his fear of the world...and all that caused so many obstacles along the way but Torey did not give up.Though she thought of it but not once did she actually do it.She just knew that she was the only one who could help him and rescue him from the darkness..

I am not that good at book reviewing (may not be doing justice to the book) but it is really a good book.I am thinking of getting the others..
