Beautiful Monday

Another short and seemingly random post by yours truly for today.

Most beautiful weather I've ever seen since the last few weeks. Saturday was nice and sunny, but pair that with Mass Colympics and you'll get a lot of hot and baked people. Today was sunny and windy, which was really nice and reminded me of the beach.

I-Xcess

Just a short post here, compliments from the Media Hub.

I'm amazed that my I-Xcess is still functioning and I can still connect to the wi-fi after NINE months! The form actually said that we have to renew our I-Xcess after 6 months, but when I went to ask the IT department guy last week, he told me to test it before re-applying.

Wheeee~

P/S: Those monkeys are so cute, no? XD

The Bitch Who Didn't Know Traffic Laws, A Guy Who Ran Out Of Luck and The Fast & The Furious a.k.a. Pantas dan Garang

Oh boy, have I a LOT to blog about today. Let's get things going in chronological order, shall we?

So today it was an 8 a.m. class as usual. We left home around 7.10 a.m. (my dad and mum drive me to school and back) and there was a slight jam as usual around the college area. So there's this 2-lane road leading to the college that always becomes a 1-lane road due to all the cars parked on the left side. My dad was driving on the right side and there were all these cars from the left trying to squeeze in. Of course, we were on the lane with the right of way, and a lot of cars were trying to cut in.

A green Toyota Avanza was behind us and on the left lane and the driver (a perempuan) was trying to cut into our lane. So my dad didn't want to give way to her, since several other cars had already cut in front and we had the right of way anyway.

You know what that BITCH did? She forced her way into the right lane, a little bit behind us and continued to squeeze in even though it was OBVIOUS that she couldn't pass. But she still kept going and of course, there was this loud "sccccrrrrgh" scratching noise that told us her car's face had scratched our car's ass. So my dad just stopped there (effectively holding up the traffic for a while) and we just glared at her. Many people had heard the friction of metal against metal and were looking curiously our way.

So then my dad went a little ways forwards and parked on the left side, which thankfully was empty, and the Avanza followed behind. My dad got down, she got down, and I also got down (since it was almost time for class). I was just in time to hear her say to my dad that it was his fault.

WHAT THE FUCK?! The NERVE she had, saying it was our fault when it was HER stupid bloody idiocy that was the problem! We don't HAVE to give way to stupid idots like her who think they are so great driving an Avanza. If YOU are cutting into the lane WE are in, then WE have the right of way. And if you're a driver in Malaysia, let me enlighten you to the unwritten rule of the road: If MY car is bigger than yours, I have the right of way. Kapeesh?

One last thing before I end this rant and continue to the next item of today's agenda...

To the driver of Mxx 7Xxx:
You BITCH! When people have the right of way and don't want to give way to you, just deal with it! It's YOUR fault if you force your way in and damage other people's car. You're lucky this time around, because if you continue to drive like this, I really, really hope that the next vehicle you "cuddle" is a GODDAMN CONTAINER TRAILER with a driver with a bad personality.
Fuck you, bitch!

Yeah, if you've read all my previous entries, you won't see language such as this come up in my posts. I just see no reason to use those words in my entries unless I am really pissed off, like today. Okay, next~

The big news in class today was the guy who fell to his death from the 14th floor at Suriamas yesterday. According to The Star, the "...teenage student who was locked out of his room and attempted to enter his 14th floor condominium unit via the balcony, met with a tragic end when he lost his footing and plunged to his death."
Tragic indeed. He was apparently a first-year student at Taylors "...and had performed this stunt several times before when he accidentally left his keys inside."

May he rest in peace.

On to the movies section of today! Me, Rhea, Nicole and Grace went to Sunway Pyramid after school today to watch a movie. At first we wanted to watch The Shinjuku Incident, but since Grace had already watched it, we opted for Fast & Furious.


When we entered the cinema, it had already started. Nevertheless, I was lucky enough to not miss the appearance of the title and it's subtitle, which was...

"Pantas Dan Garang"

OMGWTFBBQLMAOLOLROFLHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
*cough* *regains composure*

The last time around, which was TF&TF: Tokyo Drift, the Malay title was "Laju Dan Garang"! My brothers and I had totally cracked up when we saw it. But it was an awesome movie. Tokyo Drift, I mean. Not to mention it had a totally sticky and addictive theme song. =_= The 4th one was okay, but I still think that the Japanese pimped-up cars were cooler.

That's about it for today. It's been a long day and an even longer post.

Ciaoz!

Random - Back to College

So it's the first day of college (because somehow last week's 2-hour lesson just didn't seem like it) and I'm back in the Media Hub with Rhea, Ruth and Nicole.

Guess what?

The Media Hub got some awesome brand spankin' new Macs! I haven't checked out the other places like Student Lounge and library yet, but I sure am hoping that they've upgraded all the computers. That's what Daddy's paying the college for, right? The FULL use of facilities whenever we can, that is. XD

See!

Although I have a funny feeling that the Macs don't like me, due to the fact that both computers that I tried to login just shook it's login window at me and refused to let me in. Hmmmph! >_<

Oh well, there's a reason why I love my snow white VAIO. =P

Roasted piglets... and cars?!

Gosh... I haven't blogged in days. Nothing much to blog about, except for the occasional glimpse of life's weirder sights.

Looks like the Big Bad Wolf managed to get the 3 little pigs after all... and also all their cousins. o_O
Okay, joking aside, this picture was taken at the SS2 pasar malam more than a week ago (4th August 2008). Those roasted piglets were part of the menu for the charity dinner or something that evening. And no, I was not at the dinner. I was just there for the pasar malam.

If roasted piglets are not your thing, then how about a burnt car?
This... wreck of a car was seen being towed away from Leisure Commerce Square this afternoon.

Here's the story...
[2 days ago] At around 4.00 p.m., a ringing alarm is heard coming from Block B of Leisure Commerce Square. Many people are surprised at the sound but not unduly worried, convinced that it is ringing because yet another lift has broken down. It stops after a few minutes and everybody continues about their business, with the alarm ringing in their ears. Several minutes later, the alarm starts up again, more persistent than before. A short while later, people are stunned to see all the workers and students in Block B pouring out of the building, apparently evacuating the premises. At the same time, thick smoke can be seen coming out from the basement car park. All this time, the alarm has been ringing.

[The Reveal] According to Ms. Catherine (our ECS lecturer), the incident was started by a spark from some broken wiring in the basement car park. It seems that the spark caused a pillar to catch fire, which eventually spread to the car parked next to it. As we all know, cars and fire do not mix well, resulting in quite a nasty mess. Luckily nobody was hurt in this unfortunate incident. The same cannot be said for the car, which, as you can see, had more than its rubber burnt off.

If you wanna know how good J. Co. Donuts are, look no further. This is the proof!
...Yeah, proof of how "wu liao" we are. Fact is, that box is empty. We just couldn't find a place to dispose of it and were passing it around. I was about to pass it to Ruth when it suddenly seemed like a good opportunity to take some random pics, hence the "It's-mine!-No-it's-MINE!" moment. LoL~

See? That's the last donut!

P/S: I'm starting to like Sunway Pyramid now. XD

1st EVER College Blog Post !

Woohoo~!! Yes, it's my first ever blog post typed and published on a TCPJ computer. You can go ahead and go all "L-A-M-E~!" over my enthusiasm and roll your eyes or whatever, I don't care! =P

Well, had a class at 8 a.m. (Intro to Mass Comm.) with Mr. Benjamin. We didn't know which group we would be in yet, so we just showed up for the morning class, just in case. Had 5 whole hours ("OMG 5?!) of free time till the next class, since the lecturer for Intro to Human Communication was still on her vacation.

I couldn't log into the Taylor's computer (not to mention website), so after lunch, Foong Yee (Thank you! ^^) accompanied me to the ICT Department to fix it. Finally! =) So now I'm surfing the net while waiting for 3pm, when the lecture starts.

Cheerios!

Orientation @ TCPJ

Yup, my college life @ Taylor's College Petaling Jaya (TCPJ) has officially started!

So basically this week is Orientation Week, since it's all about getting us "newbies" familiarised with the school's system and campus and other miscellaneous stuff. Today was pretty boring - some talks on the library's usage and some note-taking tips.

Monday, 28th July 2008 -
Needless to say, it didn't seem to start out very smoothly when I walked into The Annexe (fancy name for "Hall-in-the-Basement") and went over report my attendance, only to discover that my name wasn't on the list for Foundation in Communication. In my head I was like "Wtf? I registered 4 freakin' months ago and paid my fees last week! Why the hell is my name NOT on the list?!" Then I showed them my receipt and they were like "Oh... In that case, write your name on the list then."

Great. Just great. -_-"

Thankfully, after that not-so-minor glitch, everything went on without incident for the rest of the day. After listening to a couple of hours of briefing/talks/speeches, we were separated into our respective "schools" (mine is School of Communication, SOC for short) and relocated to a smaller lecture hall, where we listened to some more briefings. After that, a senior brought us around for a tour of the campus. Then we were released for lunch and ID photo-taking session.

Luckily, me and Jennifer (her real name is quite similar to mine *grins*) went to The Annexe early to queue up for the photo session. Waited nearly 30 minutes before our turn, and then we went to have lunch with Charmaine (not sure if I spelled her name correctly, sorry~) before going back to the small lecture hall.

Now began our "ice breaking" session of the day. Each of us were given slips of paper with song lyrics on them. We were supposed to find people who had lyrics from the same song and form a group. I got a line from Madonna's "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". LoL!

We got together with the other group who got Madonna's song "American Pie" and sat in double rows. The first game we played was Charades. The theme was "Titles of Famous Movies" and all the other groups managed to guess both their movie titles except our group. (I bet all of us will forever remember "Toy Story" now! Haha!) However, we were not discouraged by this. In the second game, a group member was chosen to be "creatively mummified". All of us agreed that Michelle was the most suitable member to be mummified. XD And so she went from this...

...to this!

Thanks for being such a good sport! ^^
(Credits to Michelle herself for the photos - I stole the links from her blog *guilty*)

And in the end, our group even managed to get 1st runner-up in the "Mummy Competition"! Yay~!! Our prize was a packet of Van Houten chocolates. Yummy~ =)

Group pics! And yes, that's the one and only guy in our group. XD
