When a tenant signed the contract to rent the room, the landlady said that there will not be any air cond provided. What she meant was that the air cond unit is in the room but she kept the remote away from the tenant.
However, the tenant still manage to use the air-cond. Who needs a remote control to on the air-cond? As long as the main switch of the air-cond is turned on by the landlady in her room, the smart tenant can use the air-cond too.. and.. for free.... How cool is that?
However, as the landlady does not stay in the uni often, the tenant is thinking of purchasing a cooler that uses ice and water to cool down the room. The downside to the cooler is that it only lasts for 4 hours. After that more ice and water need to be added. and it costs more than S$150. Is it a good deal? hm...

movie joke
This is a conversation between a mother and a daughter.
D: Mama, papa will not allow me to go and study the course
M: It is ok darling, I will go talk to him
D: It is no use mama, he keep thinking he is the head of the house and have right to make decision...
M: Now don't you worry, he may be the head of the house, but I am the neck. I can turn the head anyway I want
Morale of story: being head is not a good thing.

House mate birthday
Gosh Gosh.. house mate birthday is coming up very soon. What am I to do? what to buy? oh no... hahaha.. ah well, my head nearly crack last night thinking about that. However, thanks to my careful observation of the things that I did, I manage to think of what to buy.. thanks to kee and choo, a wooden comb it will be... at least, one of the presents...
Been almost a week now staying there. Now, we (me and the other 2 girls) are more comfortable with each others' existance in the same unit. Although there are times where some things will happen. Like this morning, where I am dying to get the things in my rectum out.. unfortunately, one of the them is bathing.. oh the pain of waiting...
One of the worst things is,... I cannot go around semi naked in the unit or room now that there are girls there. Although I did do that when I stay with my brothers (their place got 2 girls share the unit also), those 2 are more like elder sister to me. Anyway, I am sure they have experienced much more than that.. haha.. With the 2 I staying with now.. hm.. they look like guai guai one.. cannot give too much shock to them... at least.. not yet.. MUAHAHAH....

first night.....
The first night of my stay in rented room....everything was just fine...
Had dinner together with my house mates and went for brief shopping with them. They were 2 girls from Muar. They rented one room and I took the other available room.
After that was studying time and 3 of us study till past 11 pm. Then got ready to turn in....
11.30pm.. on my bed feeling happy to get a nice room
11.45pm.. fell asleep
12.30am.. felt hot...
1am.. woke up to find out that the fan was out of action..
1am to 2am.. spend the time wondering what to do now that it is too hot without a fan. Went to living room, but the ceiling fan was as weak as a 1cm think tofu.
2am.. decided to sleep on the floor of living room...
4am.. woke up.. sleep is impossible since floor is heated up by my body temperature liao... tossed and turned
5am.. what the hell.. got up and bathed
5.30am walking around while fanning myself with a dvd
6am decided to eat some things and was clothes...
so ends my ordeal of the night. Do not mistaken.. the day was terrible also.. can see many ppl flying around the place.. and in circles....
5.30pm, reached home from school.. found a brand new fan in front of my door.. WOOHOO!!!1 new and powerful like a 1 m thick tofu.. can sleep well liao..

Home Sweet Home
After weeks of frantic searching online and viewing places near Uni, I have finally found a place to stay that is satisfactory.
Viewed the room 2 nights ago. At that time, there was another working guy also viewing the room. I must thank him to ask all the questions and get the answers that I wanna know. I must thank him also for creating the impression that he is noisy and talkative and demanding.. hahaha.. During most of the viewing, I just told my agent to let them ask the questions first. Then, they left after leaving their name card. That is when the victory strike was launched. I just took out money and pay for deposit and signed agreement with the landlady
Now the unit is all from same uni. The landlady is working at uni, and the other room stays 2 girls. At least one of them are attractive. HAHAHA... my poor brothers.. so envious of me. Ah well, going to move in this weekend. Then it will be getting down and proper on studying.. and some other things of possible :P (go figure what that means)...YEAH.. cannot wait to move in and release myself from the fate of sleeping on the floor and living on other ppl. (cos I don pay rent when I stay at the unit that my brother rented)
Hopefully all goes well

war
There is a battle in computer lab.
The number of participants are increasing.
The news is spreading like wild fire.
More and more ppl come to join in the fight once the exhausted and battered people leave.
Things are in a mess.
Chairs all over the place.
Items like keyboards are favorites as weapons in the war.
Will there be any end to it?
I am on standing by to join in the fight once my time comes.
to join in the fight to REGISTER SUBJECTS!!!
Yup, it is the time of the year again to fight each other to get the empty slots of classes.
It is when people show their selfishness by ignoring others and taking what they want
It is time when slow down of connections occur.
Do not despair brothers and sisters
Pick up your boards and mice
and fill the chair with sweat
while trying to emerge victorious.
-sth stupid-

start of journey again
Here it is again. Time to start my studies in the new semester, not that I am very enthusiastic about it. I am still very much disappointed and disorientated.
The disappointment comes from failure to execute my plan. This left me with nothing, no minor to take and also no second specialisation to take. One person suggested that I take the subjects in the specialisation I want and just learn the things and clear my GE. Guess I will just have to do that.
Disorientated? well, school starts but I have not get a place to stay yet. Now still bunking at my brothers' place at bukit batok. It does not feel good. All my stuff are not unpacked yet and will not be because I am not legit person to stay here. Take it as a challenge some say.. what choice have I?
Anyway, I had fun yesterday.. Though a bit tiring.. haha.. long day afterall. Many thanks to ppl who make it possible (sounds like thanking after event.. hm.. haha) Love you all (hm.. not the most recently befriended one). muach..

long journey back to same place
I have travelling more than 800km in 2 days and I used up more than 12 hours during the 2 days to travel.. However, I ended up in the same place that I started my journey.. sucks huh?
Well, I went to kl from jb by ktm train. I was accompanying my grandmother back home. She preferred train.. so there goes more than 6 hours of journey.. What can I person that cannot sleep easily do? basically.... nothing.
Was hoping of meeting up with ppl in the region near petaling jaya.. but heard that one is busy with exam, the other is back in singapore and one more dunno busy about what.. haih.. there goes the plan to celebrate a friend's birthday... oh well.. too bad.. lousy timing to go there.. haha
On the way back from KL to JB, I took train again.. I have no idea why exactly... Well, spent some the time reading finish my story book and many articles of a magazine... other free time was spent idling away.. doing nothing.. and keep wondering 'why on earth is the air-cond so hot?' With no where to avoid the heat, I have to enjoy the 'coldness'. This set my hand into a constant back and front motion while holding a miserable piece of cardboard.
Worst thing is.. there wasn't any ppl who is of same age as me.. except for 4 girls that are of islamic religion. haih.. There was some show on the tv.. unfortunately, it is a comedy.. that is built solely on words.. To the annoyance of ppl who want to know what happening in the show... the volume is so low that I cannot hear anything even when I sit 30cm from the tv.. gosh.. such a waste of resources (the turning on of tv)
The only thing I can be glad of is that there are many empty seats around.. so I can take 2 seats to myself and need not let my shoulder have a bout of battle with other shoulders.

what is left after??
those names.. were once ppl who are full of energy and life..
those names.. thousands of them..
now merely a code of recognition for a stack of papers..
which were kept for the purpose of avoiding lawsuit or monetary claims problems...
Within the stack of papers, there were details of visits made..
patients hard to breath..
patients stopped breathing..
resuscitated...
health deterioting day by day...
family members advised to get CCOD
certified dead by doctor...
I got a chance to flipped through the files today...
Hard to not feel something..
when you are staring at the details in the files...
more so when you have to do so again and again to file in more names...
even more so when the dates are quite recent...

Passing of life
I was at a hospice centre, doing volunteer work from 10am to 5.45pm.
Quite a lot of things happen during this time...
I got chance to know one nice person....
I got chance to know the workers and nurses there better...
I got chance to eat burger king from novena...
I got chance to help set up a computer...
I got chance to eat a lunch of a worker as my first dinner....
I got chance to know that a patient just passed away....
I got chance to see the distraught look of the patient's husband....
I got chance to see the sad tears of the nurses...
I got chance to reflect on the fragile life of humans...

Epitaph |
| by Jaimie D. Travis |
| Image of you in a cloud rolls by The sky opens up, somewhere in my mind A vision of you in a pale blue dress Tears falling down, you took my breath Memories of you . . . Rain always hides these tears in my eyes Thunder laughs and my soul dies Will I hear your voice Will I touch your skin Will the ocean waves let me in Epitaph read like a warning sign Lightning strikes, I close my eyes A vision of you in a torn red dress Tears in your eyes, your hair a mess Memories of you . . . Rain always hides these tears in my eyes Thunder laughs and my soul dies Will I hear your voice Will I touch your skin Will the ocean waves let me in The time is near, the time is nigh To answer the call, to answer the cry My head still spins, my body aches Cold wind stings my eyes, my face Look around, no one there Will anybody notice, anyone care . . . Will I hear you laugh Will I see you cry Will this world just end and let me die |

life and death
recently, I volunteered at Hospice Care Association. Although I have not come into contact with the patients. I had the chance to key in info of patients that were RIP (rest in peace). It makes me wonder about many things. What can we do to get a meaningful life? a life that when we are at our last moments, we can say that we have done sth and and contented? Is it just working and get money? Is it being filial? Is it to have a family with close relationship?
Recently I have been traveling a lot. I will follow my father whenever he goes to petaling jaya for meeting. Just went last week. I have to make use of every opportunity to go back and visit my grandfather. He is getting weaker by the day and everyone including my father is telling me that he will not last long. sigh... I have been fortunate so far. I had the chance to meet my grandparents, be it my father's side or my mother's side. though I seldom go and visit my mother's father who passed away 2 years ago. I am not going to make the same mistake again. My grandfather now very cute actually. haha. He will say that he don't want to eat lunch. But when me and grandmother sit down at table, he will want to join in for the sake of company.. Then he will have to eat sth. It saddens me to know that they are frequently looking forward to a visit by their children or grandchildren. My grandmother also expressed delight at my visit. She will tell everyone that she knows at kopitiam (and there are quite a few) that "cucu saya, cucu saya" or in cantonese. Eveytime I leave them I feel the pain when I see them suddenly become quiet when we are leaving.. sigh..
I am trying to make them happy whenever I can so that they have sth to hold on to during the period when nobody visit them. Hopefully it makes them feel better.

Organisational Behaviour
In class and lecture of organisational behaviour, they tell us that our characteristic will determine how we act. However, I beg to differ.
According to MBTI test, I am super super introvert. Does that mean I am not sociable? That was the question that bugged me. I even went as far to think that the reason why I felt isolated was because of my character.
However, I decided that it should not be the case. Because it is not the character that dictates how we act. In my opinion, it is how well you role play. In other words, everyone can be anyone if they are good at it. Even if you had bad traits, you can hide it and show others what they want to see. Hoping that in time, your bad traits will eventually disappear cos you forgot about them.
Yup,... that is what I did. I start to spend time doing things that I would think unnecessary like eating with a whole bunch of class mate at a canteen that is not really convenient for me. But after a while, I realise that: 'hey, it is quite ok to do so'. Now, I am somehow sort of a part of them.
Haha.... To those who are concern about me, I thank you for your care. At that point of time when I in bad mood, reading your comments make me feel better. Well, I am stable now... thanks.
