Phew! I'm home in taiping again! wee~ let's celebrate! 2 months of holidays, beat that! i'm going to enjoy it to the fullest no matter what. As for the blog, i felt so guilty for leaving it stalled for such a long time...>"< so let's start with exams! guess what? it's over (duh!) and i think i've done not that badly, since the papers weren't that tough, jz that we dun have enough time to study. bleh. the last paper, applied maths was a killer but then i think i can get enough marks to pass it. the last thing i'll ever need is failing the finals. since all our CPGA points are going to be reset when we go to beta year (starting my degree course), why bother about getting 4 flat, which i couldn't achieve anyway? hehe.. i'm jz being realistic, and abit self-consolating XD.

Now, jz wind back abit in time and i'll talk about things happened a week before finals. On Friday night, we celebrated Anne's birthday in the ep field. It was chilly and to top it off, rain drops drizzled for quite some time. Luckily, it stopped jz in time for our birthday girl to arrive. We did the birthday ritual, with our star, Mommy and the mouth-watering chocolate fudge cake. It was huge, about 10cm tall,fully covered with a layer of thick chocolate which melts in your mouth. Each of us were given a generous slice and i savoured it bit by bit, fearing the rich chocolate would escape my taste buds. Marvellous, not to mention, extremely filling. Kristine was having a hard time finishing off her slice while i was eating really slowly, which was sth you dun see everyday XD. When we finally finished off our share, it was fun time! It always started off with Alex provoking everyone and later on got persued, running helter skelter for cover. I was no exception, and of course i joined in the passe of the wild chase. hehe... it was fun no matter how many times we do this, and thinking that this might be the last time us can have such good time together spurt us on to enjoy ourselves even more. lots of pics were taken, with faces flushed with the persue and smeared with chocolate icings. We felt tinge of sadness in this birthday party because Jas reluctantly decided to study in Cyber due to unforseen reasons. Anyhow, seeing us so heart broken after hearing the news, she was being optimistic about her transfering and she assured us that she will be fine, with tears welling up in her eyes...

The party ended with us leaving the spot gradually after we'd cleared off the rubbish. We were exhausted not because of the party, but the thought that we can't do anything to help Jas to stay in Melacca. Things doesn't always go the way we planned, and most of the time we can't change its course, only to follow the tide meekly. Thinking about this made me felt insignificant and helpless. But, at least we spend our times together happily; even if it's short, the memory will last in our minds. So, Jas, good luck in Cyber! Besides, we can still chat using IM XD.

The next day, me, Kristine and Loo Mun aboarded the bus jz in time for the trip to cyber. Phew~ it was a chore carrying 2 bags of tshirts and walking from hostel to the main entrance. After being seated comfortably in the bus, i dozed off to sleep instantly, being tired and lack of sleep due to the party XD. The next thing i knew was we'd arrived in MMU cyber campus. So we marched to the main hall, only to find it smaller than i remembered. i've been here twice; first time for my chinese orchestra performance in collaboration with the uni's 2 years ago, second was jz plain visiting during last year. Now, it looked like it's smaller than our main hall, not that i'm boasting or anything :p. It was about 11am when we stepped in the hall, and the comms are getting ready for the open ceremony. We browsed around the comic display, Dvds, magazines and gundam models. there's even a PS2 for everyone to try on. We also saw ppl cg-ing with OMG, tablets!! we were practically gawking at them and the monitor screen as they were colouring awkwardly. Then I started to ask quetions about cg and the programmes used and their advantages and usages. it's so cool! Kristine was even more determined to get her hands on tablets, with her eyes burning fiery XD.

After walking afew more rounds in the hall, our excitement kinda died down into ashes. Cosplayers were streaming in the hall gradually, with some weirdly dressed until i can't recognised wat character they are cosplaying... *sweatdrops* Some of them were quite obvious, cosplaying as sasuke from naruto, the sol society's captains, rukia and others in bleach and Ragnorak?! is that even classified as anime?! weird. As we stared blatantly at the cosplayers and comment on some of their costumes, the event started with... OMG! some guy cosplaying as syaoran?! from tsubasa chronicles?! no doubt his costume (actually it's a really nice and kakkoi dark green cape and matching dark clothes) is like the character's, but it's jz.. you know, when your favourite character is being cosplayed by ppl, the perfect image kinda shattered into pieces...*screams* i want my syaoran back! waaaaahhh...

Bored and frustrated, we went out of the hall and it poured down hard on us. So we walked along the corners of buildings to get to the cafeteria. After waiting for like half and hour, our food came, which looked oily and fattening. despite that, we goofed down half of our meal only to find it filling and extremely salty. In conclusion, Cyber food is a no-no, certified by 3 picky gourmets from melacca XD. Then, we went to the library to kill time. To our amazement, we found quite a handful of fictions and nice story books and most of all, How to Draw Manga series! Kristine found it and we were damn excited about the books. Luckily we were able to borrow the books there and then and thus we used our smart card to borrow them. Contented, we went out of the library and back to the hall.

by then it's about 4 in the afternoon and the hall was suddenly packed with ppl queueing up in a corner. Curious, we joined the crowd and found that there were 3 local manga artist drawing and signing autograph on their fans' sketchbooks and comics. wow.. that's nice, seeing the artist drawing on the spot was really impressing. Yet, i wasn't a fan of them, in fact i jz knew their names tat day itself XD. so we move over to the PS2 site and i watched them playing naruto fighting game, which had really good graphic design and movements. I wasn't much of a player so i stood there staring at the game and the players' ever changing expressions XD. Before long it was time to go, and we headed back to the bus, with our anticipation coming back.

We were then going to Alamanda, the new shopping complex in cyberjaya. Once alighted from the bus, we can't wait to get ourselves in the complex. it was packed with ppl and shopful of discounts XD. We window shopped and tried on clothes for fun. We even bought some cloths for ourselves as the price was really reasonable and some very cheap. Loo Mun also got some OSTs at the price of 4 for 9.90. No wonder there's a big crowd in the shopping complex. After Browsing around for about an hour or so, we decided to get some food in our stomach. At 8.30pm, we gathered in the main entrance and then went back to melacca. I was then really exhausted and thus dropped dead right back on my bed.

On sunday afternoon (yes, i slept until 12sth :P), i woke up and then was stuck to my com doing nth until 3sth. then i realized there's this EMinA AGM that i have to attend. Thus, i quickly ran off to bathe and get ready for the meeting, not knowing wat's awaiting me... there's voting and stuff and i was bored actually, until the fateful moment. I can't believe my eyes. right beside the word president on the board was my name! wat the hell?! i snapped out of my blurness instantly and saw kristine and Loo Mun gleefully laughing at me... darn. Majority rules, and maybe it wasn't too bad being a president afterall... So, reluctantly i accepted the task and laugh back at those two as they got the posts of secretary and treasurer XD. And of course we have our general slave, edo~!! yeey~ i can see the gloomy year ahead *sweatdrop*

and so this is it... atonement for not writing for so long. haiz. later i'll continue about aftermath of finals, my stay in KL and my current miserable life... *sigh again*
