Nice day of studying in the college library

Hi. Today I stayed back with my friends to study Maths and Further Maths in particular. The studying part was quite tiring and mental-draining, but the hanging out with friends part was so fun! There was this guy who is a genius in maths and further maths, but he is just so shy. But he's a nice guy though.

Anyway, tomorrow is the birthday outing and Angsana gathering. Thanks again Jia Bin for allowing us to throw the party at your house. It is surely going to be a blast!

Hopefully things go smoothly tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have to plan on what to wear tomorrow. I'm wearing the same outfit for both events. Hmmm... Some help here?

2nd week of college = more homework

Hi. It's already the 2nd week of college already. Last week I was enjoying the excitement about starting college, getting to meet new friends and lecturers and getting to study in a different environment.

However, this week is a whole new different story. Even though the excitement is still there, most of it is being replaced by much homeworks and studying hours at the library. My class duties as treasurer are also starting to kick in. And the clubs and societies haven't even started yet!! Many lecturers of mine said that this two months (Jan & Feb) are the easiest months of this 1 1/2 years. OMG! More homework is coming, more complex concepts and questions and more responsibilities on the way!

Oh well, I'm going for the Angsana dinner at Jia Bin's house this Saturday, after Leannza's birthday outing. Ke Li and I are bringing ice cream from Sunway Pyramid, as I think we're going straight after Leannza's birthday outing. How hectic this weekend's going to be! God bless me please... :)

Dinner

Hi. Just came back from a very full steamboat dinner. It was at Damansara Village, Damansara Jaya. My family & I had that dinner with my surgeon granduncle & family.

Anyway, tomorrow morning my family & I will have to go all the way to Setapak to eat Bah Kut Teh. I have recently googled "Bao Xiang Bah Kut Teh", and guess what? I found out the Pavillion one SUCKS! Luckily we're not going to the Pavillion branch tomorrow...

Hopefully the food there will be good and satisfying, as Brian and I have badminton after that. Wait, that means that Brian and I shouldn't be eating a lot there, right? Thank god...

Well, wait for my report then. :)

Boring...

Yo! Finally... The college e-mailing service totally died on me!

I thought I could just send an e-mail from there but guess what? I failed to do even that!!

Anyway, all the government/national schools have replacement class today. I think it's for CNY. Which means my mother and brother wouldn't be at home for different periods of time. Left my dad & I at home.

My dad's currently taking a nap, my mother's at school, my brother's at a new Science tuition and I'm sitting here typing this new post for my blog.

Is it because I was bored?

Stupid college e-mail failed on me ):

Today, our Chem lecturer wanted us to send her an e-mail before next Monday. I myself thought it'll be an easy task and decided to wait until I'm home to do it.

Guess what?

That particular e-mail service totally DIED on me!!

I am so lost right now. How can sending something as simple as an e-mail be that hard?!

I called the ICT helpdesk but they say that maybe the server is down. Hopefully things will go back to normal tomorrow (Saturday).

Oh God, why hurdle after hurdle? Can't life be as simple as it is?

May God bless and help me through this seemingly simple hurdle...

Drum roll please...

Hi. After consulting many friends (Thanks guys), and also thinking a lot, I finally decided to....

Drum roll please...

NOT take German this year at least!!

Haiz ( This is a sigh of relief btw), I finally can concentrate on my studies and extra-curricular activities for now.

Thanks everyone!! :)

P/s: Please read this blog: http://afterastormcomesacalm.blogspot.com/

His blog is very nice to read when you just want to refresh your mind.

Not sure whether want to take German lessons or not

ARRRRRGGGGHHHH! I'M IN SUCH A DILEMMA RIGHT NOW!

When I was on my so-called 'holiday', I wanted to continue my German lessons because I had nothing to do. But in the end she wasn't free and I really had to do NOTHING! But then, my parents and I met her again at a restaurant today. She mentioned about continuing the German lesson with another teacher at the German Institute Malaysia which is actually quite far away. But the worst thing is, now that I'm having 2nd thoughts about continuing with it, my parents want me to continue with it as they think it's for my own good and it actually started last week already, so I have to start THIS SATURDAY!!

I actually feel bad about telling my parents that I actually do not want to continue anymore or at least let me settle in with my college life for a few months first only continue with my German lessons. But if i don't tell them, I'm afraid that I might end up not liking it and thinking that it's a suffering. Besides, who spends like about 3 hours (+1 hour transport... Wait, doesn't that make 4?) learning German for RM750++ for only 5 months?!

WHAT SHOULD I DO??? Either:

1. I should join the German class which will start THIS Saturday and non-stop until May?
2. Or I should tell my parents to forget about it and spend time doing something else?

Anyway, one's Saturday is damn precious as it's 1 of the weekend days where one can rest one's mind, heart and soul. As Sydney J. Harris once quoted,

"Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better. "

Thaipusam

Hi. Sorry for not updating my blog often. College has just started for me, with all the classes and all starting today, so I wasn't really free until now. Luckily it's Thaipusam tomorrow, so I can get a day's worth of rest. Not that I really need it, I have been resting since the end of SPM until now, but still it's still good to refresh my memory of some subjects before facing the lecturers again on Friday.

Today the lecturers were going a litttle bit too fast, but somehow I managed to catch up. Made me want to refresh my memory of Chemistry, Physics, Add Maths again. I think I might have forgotten most of it.

Anyway, today I was appointed the treasurer of my class, PS1. I nominated myself actually. But the job of a treasurer is just to collect money from the fellow students and pay some fees asked by the mentor teacher, I think. ( Oh ya, and also photostat money... That's going to cost us a bomb!)

Oh ya, that reminds me, better remember to collect the photostated material tomorrow before the shop closes. If not, we're screwed on Friday because Ms Elaine, our Chemistry lecturer, wants the lab manuals by Friday. And Dini and I better collect our lab coats and goggles on Friday earlier because Chemistry is the 1st 2 periods.

I was thinking whether I should join the student council or not. I have mixed feelings. Here I am thinking I should not just go back to being sort of like a "prefect" again; but on the other hand I feel that if I don't take this chance... Haiz, life's just like that, I guess... And there's also the decision of what clubs I should join. I think I should join as many clubs as I can as I want to make my testimonial and resume look good in the future.

Haiz, so many to think about, and so little time to execute it all.

College is starting tomorrow for me!

Hi. I'm so excited that I think I could not sleep tonight. My college days are starting TOMORROW!! That's just made me so excited and pumped up with adrenaline that I couldn't wait. The orientation day is tomorrow so I hope I project a good image to my lecturers and seniors and possible friends.

Anyway, nobody I know is studying there, well except for a friend of mine from tuition. Hopefully I will be able to make new friends there. You guys know just how introvert I am. My PR skills are just not good yet. I still need to hone them.

Arrrrggghhh, calm down Audrey and get some sleep already. It'll be bad to take your student ID photo tomorrow if you have panda eyes, right? So good night!! Zzzzz...

Feeling so bored at home!

Hi. I just thought of something...

Since I have nothing to do at home, I have been expressing myself a lot lately at this almost forgotten blog of mine. Anyway, today is just the same.

Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. My dad's off at Penang doing his business and I'm here hoping that he makes it back on time tomorrow evening to celebrate my mother's birthday dinner. Well, I hope the cake my cousins are getting for my mother works out perfectly too.

Another fun thing that I hope will come true is that I've invited my friends, Ke Li and Leannza to go present shopping with me tomorrow. It's already my mum's birthday tomorrow and I still can't figure out what to get her as her birthday present. The thrill and the excitement of going out with my friends to Tropicana City Mall and maybe Ke Li driving us there will probably boost my excitement!! Oh, I just can't wait!!

Today, while I was bathing, I had this thinking moment... Wait a minute, I'm not trying to be philosophical here, but I suddenly got nervous about my starting days in college next week. Now I'm having mixed emotions: one side I'm excited; another side I'm nervous of how people will treat me once I'm there. Hopefully I'm not the only ex-DJian there... I haven't exactly been an Albert Einstein in making friends and interacting with people.

Anyway, got a lot of thinking to do this week and also next week. This afternoon I told my mum that I can't wait for college to start next Tuesday, and she gives me this 'evil' grin, like a 'oh-then-I'll-torture-you-with-housework-until-next-Tuesday' grin. It's kinda scary...

Is having nothing to do wrong?

Today for some strange reason I woke up at 12.30PM. At first I got scolded by my mum for waking up so late, then in the evening I got scolded by my dad for not having initiative?

DEAR, WHEN YOU HAVE 1 WEEK TO JUST SIT AROUND THE HOUSE AND DO NOTHING!! AND THEN YOU CAN'T DRIVE TO A SHOPPING MALL OR BOOKSTORE TO RELAX YOURSELF. YOU'RE BOUND TO FALL INTO COUCH POTATO MODE!! SOME MORE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ANNOYING BROTHER WHO'S ALREADY 15 YEARS OLD BUT STILL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF...

Phew, that's 1 breath of vent. Although I can't say it out loud, it's great that I can express myself in my blog. Hmmm... Maybe I should wake up earlier tomorrow morning. But why? It's not like there'e nothing to do anyway. My schedule everyday is almost the same. Please god, let my college days start sooner!! I just can't wait!

Plus, the only happy news today is that Leannza and I decided that we will go Singapore this December holidays!! Staying in Singapore without my parents and my annoying brother for a change will be awesome! :)
