Man it’s been a while since I blog here. Cause I didn’t have enough time to put up with friendster, I blog elsewhere. But anyway, over the weekend I went back to my unofficial-soon-to-be-official-second-home (USTBOSH) which is Bukit Bintang. Again. Man there’s still a lot of Arab tourists there. Well, not that I’m complaining. I quite liked seeing the lot of them. Gives you that holiday feel, you know? I also went back because my family was still here. But mother and Sarah went back today, leaving my sis all alone at USTBOSH. And I will go back there for Merdeka too hehehe. I seem to be going back a lot these few weeks. Oh well. It doesn’t happen often, does it? And besides, it’s scary how Bukit Bintang is now ‘home’ too. Not a bad place to live, really. I know a lot of shopaholics out there would agree. Hehehehe.

Soon I’m going to install Internet connection at our hostel apartment. I call it hostel even though it’s just private apartment units the university either owns or rented from the owners. It’s easier. Anyway, the fiber optic connection costs 60 a month with speed of 2mbps, unlimited, with no modem required. Tempting. I meant to call today, but as you can see, I’m at the CC and forgot my phone at home. Nice. By the time I get out of here, people are gonna think I’ve been smoking ciggarettes. Yeah I hate this place.

I really should be doing my assignment, but it’s so hard to get info on local entrepeneurs unless you know them personally. I really don’t wanna do my dad again coz I’ve written quite a few essays about him already and I’m getting bored. :/ I did Mr. Foong and it’s more or less completed. The next question I do Google. Maybe I should have gotten that book The Google Story. But it costs a bit and don’t know how much will it contribute to my assignment. sighs.

Last week I forced my homies to eat French beans for two days straight! Hahaha! It was fun. Cooking French beans.

I’m off. Ta’ra!

Rants on a slow day

Monday, August 14th, 2006

It’s a Tuesday and for me that’s laundry day. I got a basketful to wash just now. Am not enjoying laundry day. Just hoping the weather would stay good the whole day. Even then, rain is quite rare lately so I’m not all that bothered. I sneaked out of our apartment before my homie could catch me hehehe. I’m not sure if she’s still in her room or out somewhere, but I really need the alone downtime.

I mean, ever since I came here the only thing on my mind was to do things I must do. Like, instead of staying in my room (which is my natural tendency) I will take the effort to sit in the living room watching whatever crap was on national television. Therefore I won’t appear reclusive and am open to everyone. Since I’ve been doing this for about three weeks now, it almost became a habit. I feel compelled to get out of my room when I feel I’m in there too long and announce to whoever what I have been doing and silently implying that I wasn’t avoiding them.

But that has become quite mafan :/. After downloading the right codec, (stay away from codec packs and just download divx and xvid, people) I managed to watch Meine Liebe Wieder and Gakuen Heaven yesterday. When I watch anime, I tend to enjoy watching them alone without the company of anyone. If I get people in the room while I’m watching anime, I can get annoyed and can turn nasty very easily. I’m touchy about anime, so sue me :P.

So anyway, after that, I feel like I was myself again. My old reclusive, pretty-boy-anime-obsessed old self! And it feels great! Then I started thinking I am fine with being reclusive, I’m fine with being perceived as proud or arrogant or whatever, I’m fine with doing things alone and most importantly, I’m fine with not doing the ‘right’ things anymore. I don’t want to do things I must do anymore. I just wanna start doing things that I want to do! So if other people feel left out, screw them!! I need to take time out with myself too, you know :P. Trust me, I’m a much better person this way.

So to start off doing things I want to do, I left the house without announcing. I mean come on, you don’t have to tell people where you’re going and what you’re doing all the time, right? Give me some privacy.

I’m not complaining about my homie. My homies are great. It’s just that, I’ve just been feeling that I was binded into doing the ‘right’ things for too long without me realizing it. Not that it’s bad, but if it’s not something you’re used to, it gets tiring.

Anyway, this weekend my family is coming over and I can finally get time off from that place and go to my unofficial-soon-to-be-official-second-home (USTBOSH). And besides, I could use some funds refill. Next I have to think what to eat for lunch and how to organize my notes. Oh and make someone’s card. I got my printer working last night. Haven’t got a name for it yet. Hehehe.

Ta’ra!

I had to retype…

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

This is the second time I type because I accidentally close it the first time. Haha!

First off, congratulations to my sis who had graduated (FINALLY!)! Hahaha! Next, she plans to join the dark forces of the unemployed. Well, at least till the end of the year.

Last night the people back home had barbeque with lamb chops, fish and chicken on the grill while I had a crappy sandwich and instant noodles! Life is unfair D’:…Besides, I think my dad called just to rub it in my face about the barbeque. I miss eating good food damn it.

But yesterday was kinda fun too. I had a morning class so after class I went have a movie marathon with my homie. We watched Click and Garfield 2. Both fun movies hehehe.

I know I said we were going to Bukit Bintang this weekend but I had to cancel coz my homie got something up. And she was supposed to come with me. So instead of going on retail therapy at Sungei Wang, I stayed back and did some cleaning and laundry. I finally get to check out this CC across the road from our place and it’s great. It smells of ciggarettes but the PCs run XP, accepts my USB drive and allows downloads. 2 ringgit an hour is not a bad price hehe. I am content

I have got my porn essentials (anti-virus and codec). Now all I need is some porns. I have downloaded utorrent into this PC. Hopefully I get to use it next time I come here. Just have to stay away from the peak hours. By the way, it is also downlaoding something right now hehehe. Making use of the CC’s connection.

Hopefully everything is fine when I install them into Kuja.

I think I’m running out of things to say. Ta’ra!

I’m smiling with glee

Due to crappy’ friendster’s scheduled maintenance yesterday, I couldn’t update my blog. But I didn’t really have much to say anyway. Today we got our first assignment (yay!). It’s individual work so I am contented. Don’t have to put up with any lamers :P. In fact, from what I find out, all of my assignments and coming assignments are individual works. It’s due a week before the exam so still have a lot of time. But really, the classes here are so free I feel like a brindlehound on a loose leash. I’m not kidding.

You see, the morning classes are from 10:10 to 1:15 and the afternoon classes are 2:15 to 5:30. So you can have only two subjects a day, with a maximum of 6 hours of classes. And it’s like the university’s policy to have only 4 days of classes so each student has 3 days off plus weekend. They said the extra time is for you to do your assignments. Well I’m not complaining hehehe. I like the abundance of time. More time to do stuff. But still, that also means you only see your teachers once a week suring lctures. There’s no such thing as tutorials here. They call it ‘Interactive Learning’ (IL). Just a fancy way of saying "we don’t have enough teachers to teach you so you go and study yourself". IL can be done anywhere, even in bed (sleeping). I think they just put those IL slots to make the timetable looks full anyway.

Our accounting and economics and even stats and maths subjects makes me feel like I’m going backwards. Why do I need to learn about journals and ledgers again anyway?! I already know this stuff. I was surprised to find that some or even most of the students in my class have never taken the subject eyt. Which means, I’m going to have to it through basic accounting again. It doesn’t really suck, since I know I can easily get ahead in this class. But you know, everyong else in Swinburne are moving forward while I’m going backwards!

I’m going to get started on the assignment so off I go to email Mr. Foong hehehehe. Ta’ra!

Insecurity

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Aaaarrgghhh!!! Insecurity! I have never felt so out of touch and insecure that I couldn’t sit still!! You see, Towers is at home, at the hand of my bro who thinks it’s officially his, but he wouldn’t dare tell that to me eye to eye. The thing is, a lot of my stuff are still in there!!! Even though I’ve copied some of the more important ones into Kuja already. I mean come on, you can’t just remove six years of your life in five days can you??

Even the other night, I dreamt that my stupid bro deleted all my files to make way for his games!! I woke up crying!!

Heeding the warning in my dream, I immediately called home that day and gave my bro a warning about it. Even if he didn’t download any porns into it, (coz I don’t have any P2P proggie like emule and Ares. I only use Bittorrent) he could still corrupt my hd with all the pirated games he installed. That’s the only pleasure I’d give him. He’s not allowed to even open any folder that belongs to me in Towers. I told him it’s his responsibility but the actual reason was that I don’t trust him. And for good reasons!!

Call me possessive but I’ sure you guys understand how touchy an issue is when it involves your PC. I’m just a tad touchier.

Oh and I just found out the reason the PC at this CC don’t accept my USB driver aka Marimo Jr. because the PCs ehre use freaking Windows 98!!!

Last Saturday we had this supposedly ‘little’ reunion which turned out to be a humongo gathering. I woulda gone skating too if not because I don’t wanna strut around in wet clothes afterwards. I mean, I just recovered from all kinds of annoying sickness. I’m not about to get sick again! It sucks to be sick D:

We’re going to watch Garfield 2 some time this week. This weekend I’m going back to our apartment in KL to pick up Kujong. Then we can gang press him into becoming our DVD slave. Mwahahaha!

Alright, that’s all. Ta’ra!

I am annoyed.

Friday, August 4th, 2006

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I typed this ass-long post and the PC froze and I had to restart and then….aaaaaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!!!!!! DAMN YOU CC COMPUTER!!!!

Anyway, I’ve been sick since I got here and only just recently recovered. I have no roomies but three homies and they are all cool people. Tomorrow someone forced me to take a cab to go have a little reunion at the Pyramid.

And that’s all. I shall talk more if I want to at my other blogs. Later.
