I'm starting to believe that I'm that type of people (on the verge of extinction) who can live without a handphone. Even though I'm left with my 019 handphone, I wasn't too keen on using it. And when I finally checked the phone just now; WOW, miscalls and unread messages flooded up the screen.Having said that, I need a handphone. It's a just-in-case measure but not exactly a necessity for me. I know I cannot live without my computer. That's the truth.Most of my friends have been very concerned with my feelings about the loss and I'm so grateful for the support. I'm not the emotional type of person but I definitely sad. That N80i is the first handphone I bought with my own cash. I had no intention of ever replacing it but now that it's gone... I might as well opt for a new handphone; once I'm in the UK I mean.

Too bad I didn't win at the MAPCU as we only managed to secure 4th place. I was devastated before the final match because somebody stole my pouch. Inside I have my most important purse and my room keys. I wasn't worried about my handphones because I now hold closely to my heart what my lecturer said: "Cardiac arrest (suffered by late Michael Jackson) is caused by stress coming from negative thinking of the brain."So, by being positive I resorted to worry about my keys and purse only. At last my friend found it. Just 1 minute before the match. As expected, money and one of my handphones were taken. Another handphone albeit the cheaper one; all my credit cards and my keys were still intact. But my team had suffered demotivation and couldn't concentrate on the first half. My stolen pouch kind of contributed to the whole team's motivation. We were down by 2-1 in the end and got 4th place.Nevertheless, it was really good because we minimized the damage and with 11 days of training only; we got 4th place. I am really proud.
Current addiction: MythBusters
Physics and chemistry have never been so fun! I'm learning so much from the professionals (they're not scientists per se) and I get to flaunt my new knowledge around people. It all would start off with... Do you know?... and ended with MythBusters busted that myth.Life has been real hectic. I don't get to waste so much time like I used to. Everyday is about attending classes, do tutorials, revisions... then a really short nap in the evening before my futsal practice at 8pm daily. I have my advocacy assessment to prepare and preparation for my finals ought to start soon. It's mid-June already!Not forgetting, the application for my accommodation in Leeds and preparation for the Visa materials. How fulfilling my life is. I don't quite know what happened to me but now my quadriceps are so tensed. I couldn't run fast and stretch my legs out because of that. Kind of afraid that my muscle would tear. Such a huge set back for me since I love to sprint in training. Now I had to resort to defense. In a way it brushed up my defending skills but then not so fun for a competitive person as I am.The competition will be on 27th... next Saturday. Hopefully I don't suffer any injury before that date!

I am seriously, very exhausted. Been practising futsal for two evenings now. Each session lasted for about 3-4 hours. I'd been slacking a lot this semester. So when I had to jog, my body gave up after just 3 rounds. Even when I stretched my muscles, not as flexible as I used to be. The only thing that I still have is my sprinting ability. Good thing I scored a few goals during the games we played. The coach put the team up against guys to counter our inferior against them. Not too shabby... two days and I'm proud of my team already.Besides being tired and exhausted, I'm currently giving my roommate the ultimate silent treatment. Really need to give her a lesson after she treated me badly for the past week. First, she blew me off during dinner time. I was waiting for her already, almost turning down my friends' invitation to eat with them... then I received her message. Angry? Not really. But really disappointed when I learned the truth... she blew me off to sing karaoke! For a freaking 4 hours! And then she didn't have her dinner and came back with a hungry stomach. Then during Tuesday morning... she hit me with her file case during morning walk to class just because I played the music of the Left4Dead's Witch crying. She hit me TWICE! Then she ran off to where the hell that might had been... I just walked alone to the class and had been quiet to her since.3 Days. Now I'm waiting for the rest of the week! I AM THAT EVIL!

It's been days since I last blogged about... well, my university choice. The week was then hectic, filled with a visa talk, classes with a replacement lecturer and also my presentation. I took the weekend to recuperate. My mum and brother went to visit my dad in Sabah since Sunday and they'll be flying back this Saturday. I'll be their driver once again since I'm quite familiar with the roads to either airports around Sepang.My entertainment for the last few days was Hong Kong's "Beautiful Cooking Season 2". Oh I miss watching Kary and Jolin screwed up big time during Season 1. Finished the 9th episode today. I had yet to start on my other TV series... 24 season 7 is out but I have to watch 24 Redemption movie before starting on it. Then there're also Leverage and Dollhouse... so many series yet I have no mood to watch them.Whenever I'm taking breaks from books... Time for some Left4Dead. It's fun playing in Single Player mode because I can see how the other Computer AI characters screw up around the Witch character. And now, I have Witch's cry set as one of my ringtones! Yay~
Yes I had finally made my reply to my universities! Everybody around me made me feel like I'm leaving for UK next week. With all the Visa talks, accommodation debate and UCAS reply discussions... I personally don't think I'm ready at all but it's about time to get myself ready. It's June already! Time to really start my revision.
- My firm choice: University of Leeds
- My insurance choice: University of Hull
Truth is... if I can't get to Leeds I wouldn't be going anywhere at all since Leeds required me to pass my second year to further my final year there. So Hull... so sorry I won't be able to visit your stadium and boo you Tigers!

This post to dedicated to: WILSON KOH WEI HANWow Wilson, I really salute you. Your loyalty to a friend exceeded far more than any friend I had can exude. It was my fault for not waiting up for you at Subang Jaya so we could go over to Cheras together. If not, none of these adventures and mishaps would have happened to you.What is worse than getting lost at a dark night with fuel running low and every petrol kiosks on your way closing down? The answer is when your phone battery goes nuts and died on you. That's exactly what happened to Wilson when he tried to reach Jess' place in Cheras. A bunch of us planned a very last minute to visit Jess who was having bouts of insecurities after being dianogsed with Bell's palsy. Basically, her face is half-paralysed which is the right side of her face. The sickness has a high percentage for full recovery but it just bad timing that she had to encounter this just less than a week before her ACCA examination.When I received her message I was keen on planning a trip where only the closest friends of hers would pay her a small visit (she had to take medicine and rest early) and then leave before 11pm. Talk about things gone awry, Wilson had to run some errands and got caught in some nasty traffic so I hopped into Jasmine and her boyfriend, Ci Long's car. We had our mishaps too in setting the wrong Jusco for the GPS and got lost for about 10km away from Jess' place.Anyways, it was 12am already. Everybody had left except for me since the original plan was me traveling with Wilson back to Nilai; then he himself will head back to home in Seremban. There was no way we could contact him. So finally he called in distress from a payphone and told us he was somewhere in Sungai Besi. Jess told him to head home and rest while me, stay overnight at her place.At 1.30am, I received a text message from Wilson saying: "I Outside". I was tired and blur, so replied "Wat?" and dozed off. Actually, he was outside of Jess' house and rang the doorbell! Somehow everybody was too tired and slept through the noise. Only then in the morning we found out that he actually came and went off! Oh no... we're so sorry... So, kudos to my amazing friend and future chef; WILSON KOH!

These few days had been tiring... but the thought of June crawling into the calendar makes me all "fire-up" to flip the pages of my notes and study; even just for one or two pages. I'm easily disoriented and my concentration gets distracted all the time. Worst of all, my interest in reading wanes off after like, 20 minutes into the words?
Something very unorthodox happened in my class since the Law Night. Apparently they're going to plan something called "Law Night Afterparty" on this Thursday. Let me emphasize on the day... T-H-U-R-S-D-A-Y. What's most happening on a Thursday's night? Well, you guessed it right...
Anyways, I think I acted like a jerk and sucking the fun out of the how-very enthusiastic plan. I don't do clubs. Not here at this age. It's not like I'm feeling jealous and being all green-eyed for not going... but I kind of loathe at the desperate measures some of them are using; reaching and going all out to everybody to join in the plan. I thought, it's not going to be pretty since my classmates aren't really those people who study together-hang out together kind. They're those "stay in your clique and mind your own business" type of people.
So, I shall wait for this Friday to hear all about their fun night out.

I'm so glad to spend the weekend at home with my family. The best part is I'm only going back to college on Monday morning. Considering the fact that I'd been back in Segamat since Thursday, I'm happily home for... 3 days!
I got a bad news on Friday, Dell contacted me and told me the estimated delivery time for my new laptop will be on 8th of June. Devastated, of course. Irritated, of course. Not forgetting, disappointing my little brother since I made him believe that I'd be passing my laptop for real after this weekend. So I guess he had to wait it out till 7th of June when I shall meet him again.
It's a rewarding weekend for me to have downloaded the latest DVD of Paramore and the indie movie Keith!
And now to blog about what irked me the most this weekend. I found out that the money-minded, greedy and wicked TV executives had decided to cancel most of my favorite new TV series!!! The ones that got axed include:

- Dirty Sexy Money (for real)
- Eli Stone (for real)
- Kath & Kim

- Without A Trace
Others include:
- My Name Is Earl
- Knight Rider

Currently listening to: Hey Monday's "How You Love Me Now"
Working on my assignment is drowning me alive. So much to write, so little available space to fit in the words. Heck, I'm going to do it slowly so that it won't require me to redo it like my Land assignment! It was some horrendous effort there trying to get it done in time.These few days I'd been talking a lot with my potential housemates when I go for Leeds this September. Our discussion mainly revolved around the place to rent and how many people to include. The places we're considering right now are located at the North-West area of the University of Leeds, seemingly close to the West gate where the School of Law is located. The thing is... we can't seem to decide on which house. And so the debate continues...Don't worry, I'll post up the picture of the house once we'd decided. Till then, let's keep the mystery to itself. Time to get back to my assignment... Ciao!

So I didn't quite finish my assignment like I wished for... I'd just found out from my friends earlier that the word limit is 3500 and not 3000. Some serious editing to do. Oh well, I should've been more careful in reading the instructions. Now I only got myself to blame. Anyways, I didn't watch football just now. It was raining in Nilai and my friends retreated back to their apartments to watch the match. I didn't want to go to their apartments -obviously. Weird enough, some friends wanted to go for Kajang satay and asked me to tag along. Wow, how unexpected. It was raining anyways so I couldn't do much in campus.I'm going to blog about my lingering thoughts even though I didn't achieve what I planned.Can we lower the threshold of tolerance towards others by being less hypocritical? I really need an answer on this because I seriously think that my high expectations over peoples' behaviours are derived from my perfectionist/obsessive compulsive disorders. I am imperfect myself so why do I ask for perfection from others? Is it crazy for me to expect the best out of people when others just tolerate with my behaviour?I couldn't help but to think that I am really a hypocrite. I told others that I don't care how people judge me but I like to judge others. Of course, only when it comes to close proximity kind of relationship. People of the public, I'd just criticize their exterior personalities. I can click with the people that have things in common with me easily. Music, movies, football, food and studies... but once I get to know them a little bit too much; my heart tells me to start judging the person. A little too much, to the extent that I may just stop befriending that person for a simple reason of intolerance.Anyone reading this... are you somewhat like me too? Do reply.

Tort assignment... Kept ringing in my head. Wow it's Saturday already, tomorrow will mark the third week of my final semester. Then it will be officially 3 months left for me to suffer. I'm not really suffering now, I'm kind of taking everything slow and don't stress out so much. No point getting myself nuts before going to UK.Anyways, upon finishing my work tonight I shall blog about something ironic yet iconic. Just stay tuned to it okay. My work tonight: Dinner+Football (Manchester United vs. Arsenal) and Basketball then... Assignment.Till then... assignment time!
Currently listening to: Ra Ra Riot's "Too Too Too Fast"
Good morning peeps! Rare and random for me to blog at daylight morning isn't it. I woke up an hour or so ago... checked on my porridge and boiled some water. The water dispenser has been acting out... it's making a lot of loud noises and kept vibrating like it's going to blast!!! Thank goodness someone was "considerate" enough to plug off the machine.About my exam results, I thought I'd fail all the papers. Seriously, I didn't put much effort into my midsessional exams. I didn't study! Well I did but I dragged on during the last two weeks of revision. However, so far I'd passed two. One with flying colours and another... mere pass. The mere pass will really boost my motivation to study. It's the last semester so what the heck I can give up fun for good results. If I passed all my papers... I swear to myself... I'd make a difference in my finals. No fingers crossed!
Besides spending RM6000 on my college fees this month, I had two or more* splurges on some so-called necessities. Why did I keep making up excuses to buy stuff?
Dell Studio 15
I wasn't keen on getting a new laptop; trust me. I am still in love with my Acer Aspire 5560. However, the hot weather is taking a toll on my laptop. It's been automatically shut off for a few times already. The Studio 15 costed me RM2800. I'd been thinking of getting a Compaq or HP for some time now but why spend so much? I could get two Studio 15s with the price of one HP!
Crocs Santa Cruz
It was love at first sight... I made up some excuses for myself; that I would wear them, I would treasure them and I'd take care of them. This pair costed me a freaking RM200. Wait till I get them next week.
Converse Classic Low
Oh I was supposed to get these from Singapore but the model was out of stock. Finally I got my hands on these! Thank goodness this pair was cheaper... RM70. I promised myself not to wear them... keep them for UK.

Wow, my last update was prior to my visit to Sabah! My goodness how time flies... I am already in my second semester and truthfully, it's not fun at all. First week only, I was subjected to various "motivational" and "encouraging" speeches from the lecturers urging all of us to study hard for the last semester. Of course, any resit or retake of subjects is equivalent to bye bye UK this year.I am rushing through my last two assignments now... basically there isn't much time left for me to do anything extra fun this semester. It's okay... *pat myself*... I'll just suffer for another 13 weeks. That's all.Anyways, expect irregular updates from me every now and then...
