First lesson

Finally i have started my first driving lesson after passing my undang for more than a year. Hope to get my driving licence by next month so that i could spend 2 years of driving probation in uk without actually driving on the road.

Today my mom and I rushed to the post office to renew my L licence as it expired like dunno how long ago. After that we went to Chyna at KL Hilton for dim sum. I swear to God their dim sum are so damn delicious. Like Sher min would say, it feel like you're having orgasm when you slowly bite on the siew mie, chew it and shallow it.

We managed to get home by 3pm and the driving instuctor came to the house to take me for driving lessons. My first lesson was at Bangsar Sports Complex that area. I didnt understand what the clutch was all about and the engine went dead for like more than 10 times. sigh.
Next lesson will be on this coming thursday. Hope to do a better job on that day.

Nothing Special...

Today was my 3rd day in Malaysia and was so far the most boring day yet. I did virtually nothing today besides counting how many days left I would be in Malaysia before leaving. The calculation came up to 20days left as I would be leaving on 13th july to London. Sigh...

Day I have been waiting for...

Again I have defeated the possibility of getting jet-lag owing to an organise in-flight timetable. Shao nian stayed overnight and we both woke up at 7am which was 1 hour earlier than planned. We went looking for food and decided to swim at around 8am. I have graduated from baby pool but still not good enough to swim at the other end which was about 8 feet deep. We got out from the pool an hour or an hour half later and started waiting for sher min's arrival. As usual that girl arrived 1 hour later than promised at 11am. Her hair was much shorter than it used to be and I thought that she looked better with longer hair. Anyway she didn't even give me a hug eventhough we were apart for 6 months.

Later on we decided to go to Midvalley to eat at Dragon-i and meet Syed after that because he couldn't eat food in Dragon-i as they contained pork. Yummy.... I love the siew long paus there. So delicious. After lunch sher min pretended to line up to get tickets for the movie Get Smart but after 1minute or less she ran away to top-shop to do her shopping and until when the movie started, we still had to wait for her to pass her the movie tickets. very smart of her...

Get Smart was quite alright but the story wasn't that great. Sher min and I sent off Syed and Shao nian before returning home. The best coincidence was I found out that my best friends' names all had an initial ''S''. Like 'S'her min... 'S'hao nian... 'S'yed... and 'S'umugan.

When we returned home Sher min and I were too tired and we dozed off immediately in 2 different beds in the same room. What a shame of me..... I missed out the chance to do what all guys would want to do with a girl. Sigh...

Here are the pics...

me sleeping.

these happened in sequence.

shameless pic of sher min but too bad she's a bad poser.

Its here...

Finally the day that i have been waiting for arrived. Here I am... Malaysia. Cant express my words of love towards this land but here I am, waiting for the moments of joy.
Took the MAS boeing 747 back to Malaysia. The 12hour flight felt like it was just a 12minute flight owing to wan-ling's wonderful company. we had fun in the aeroplane and took loads of pictures too. to avoid getting jet-lag, i set myself on Malaysian time and slept accordingly to my bed time hours. i slept in the first 5 hours and had fun talking, eating, watching movies and webcaming in the remaining 7 hours. the plane reached 30mins earlier than predicted time but we still had to wait for a long time till we are able to reclaim our luggage.

My parents didnt come to the airport so I took the express train to KL central and shao nian was already there waiting for me for 4hours. My parents came soon afterwards and the first words my mom uttered out were : OMG you're so skinny bla bla bla...

We went home immediately and had homemade chicken rice for dinner. Shao nian stayed overnight and I was happy to return home.

Pics taken in the plane.

Quite satisfied with these pics. Travelling with friends really make a difference.

Hell is over!

Finally my exams finished. now is the time to play. I stated a new game recently - Fiesta. It is quite fun but i doubt i will be able to play it very often once I return to Malaysia.

My final exam paper was Core maths 4 and I think I did quite well. Hope that will compensate my core maths 3 because i really screwed it up. Finally the exam is over today. After the exam we went to nando's for a nice lunch and after that played bowling and pool. surprisingly bowling was much cheaper than in malaysia. it cost like only £5 for 3 games. very good price. got 1st among my friends for scoring 100 but its still so low. i wanna break my record of 129 points.

Time passed so fast. The 2nd time i looked at my watch it was already 8:30pm. 9 days left till i step on malaysia's ground. just cant wait for it to come.

My day...

Saturday today so was supposed to do my philosophy revision but then i slept till about 3pm so when i woke up didnt have mood to study. then after that was chatting with sher min and we webcamed. thanks to the invention of webcams coz eventhought we were 11000km apart we could still see each other. havent seen her for ages so i started laughing myself off when i saw her for no reasons.

we chatted, we laughed, we exercised and I said hi to her family members. Her hair was shorter than it used to be and she looked good in Arsenal jersey. well, everyone looks good in Arsenal jersey. And i was so unlucky in picking the 1st, 2nd or the 3rd drawers to take a deep look of what she had inside. I had 2 chances but i still missed out the drawer that she kept all her ''treasure''. Sigh.

this' sher min's blurrr look.

i think we chatted for around 2 hours and i just couldnt stop showing offf my long curvy eyelashes that she envies so much. haha. Eventhough in the end we didnt have many topics left to chat about and eventually she went to bed, I could still feel that our friedship is crystal solid. Hope that our plan to meet on 22nd june (1 day after i arrive kl) will succeed and we can go for lunch or dinner or even shop in topshop. haha.

After the chat i played board games with my friends and teacher but because my mood became so good after the chat that i owned them to the max. Was so happy after that. 2nd win in a row.

Counting down.... 34 days ---> malaysia

IM GOING TO PRAGUE!!!

My first achievement of the year~~~~ im so so so delighted that i got into such competitive conference unlike those no-use conferences available everywhere. i think i will be going there czech republic alone because my parents would be having holiday in europe while the conference is going on. I will so appreciate this chance and learn all that will be taught. hope i wont disappoint myself.

btw im really really happy.

The next step for you is to officially confirm your attendance. We will reserve your place for 4 weeks; however, if we have not received your confirmation at this time we may offer your place to the next available applicant.

Fun fun fun...

Played cricket for the first time in my life. it was quite fun though and i think im quite addicted to it now. I have only seen cricket being played in Malaysia once. But i think i will still stick to football coz its just the best sporting game ever invented.

Had history exam this morning and if only i had 5 more minutes i could finish the essays with stronger conclusions which could gain me a few more marks. i doubt that i will score 57/60 for unit 3 but i gave my best shot. so eventhough im worried bout oxford but then i will be happy too if my results disappoint me cause i have tried.

and today is my father's birthday so wish him a happy birthday here. ^_^
i wonder how parents celebrate their birthdays when all their children are studying abroad. well i think its an experience that i would have to face eventually.

43 days ---> malaysia

I started counting down today. 43 days left. I hope its a good number because one of my houses number is 43. I swear when i get back to Malaysia I will surely visit 3jc for its wonderful curry noodles then kl hilton dim sum at chyna then japanese buffet at pj hilton and dragon i with sher min. i just cant wait till i get back. yeahhhhh, 434343434343434343 dayssssss....................

Just now I suddenly felt like drinking milk. Then i went to search for milk in the fridge but i wonder why it was frozen. So i had to pressed so hard to squeeze a little by little and finally i had half a cup of milk. Then after that I left it on the table unattended and continued writing my essay to be sent to prague, czech republic. Then when i slided my laptop onto the table without realising the cup there, it just knocked the cup off. And my precious £1 milk went diving down onto the floor. sigh my wasted effort. it fell on carpet sumore. how to clean laaaa???

Frozen milk

Me squeezing milk out...

And this is what annoyed me... :(

Sigh... im gonna be so dead next week. AS history unit 3 on monday 9am. tuesday mock exams 6 60mins papers. that is a total of 6hours of exams per day. gosh am i still gonna be alive after that? wed 5hours of mock exams... its gonna drive me insane!

Look at all the 60s...

dead dates.

Clock is ticking....

This took me 2hours to complete.

Didnt go to college today coz couldnt wake up and i needed to finish my history as the exam will be held in 12 days time. I still need one full day to finish the whole syllabus but the clock is ticking faster and faster. until now i havent done any of the past year papers yet. how to score?

Yesterday was called for an interview with the principal. He said my performance could only get me into top10 universities but not top 2 that i wanna go to. He also said im one of the fortunate people who could score without much revision and my performance showed that i didnt even put in any hard work and i must change now. But the point is how la? Even native ppl couldnt score A in philosophy how do they expect me to? its really damn tough ok? i did try to understand but i could only grasp the basics but not the more complicated ones.

My future rely upon the next 50days and i hope miracles would come by. T.T

God blessssss me. ^_^
