the bittersweet symphony of life

 

Monday 17/9

3rd year started off with Multicomponents Separation who is taught by a fantabulous Ph.D holder who has a much more fantabulous command of English. status as statoos, a as air, determine as determYne(?), cincai = =” and many many more, which I’ve learned to tolerate (I know my English not that good also la but I’m not the one giving a lecture in front of 100+ students).

And the other day I was having a meeting with Dr Hanson when she came in and started blabbering for quite some time. After she left,
“Do you have any idea what she’s saying?”
“Erm…not really.”
“Oh, thank god! I thought I was the only one who couldn’t! I was basically just guessing what she’s saying throughout the entire conversation.”

Anyhow, here’s the first batch of pictures of the last academic year!

my pumps are so cute right right?

Then in the evening, due to the horrible jam in Semenyih, we couldn’t make it to KLIA to send Chui San off. So we made our way to the latest shopping mall in Kajang, Metro Point!

Now there’s no need for me to go back Subang anymore on the 31st for Baskin Robbins. A big dilemma here, should I be sad? Or should I be happy?

Then, it’s KLIA to send Lynn and the coursemates off.

Jumpin’ shot.

Hahaha. Mana ShanK?

People are happier when they are 99% sure their double chins will not be shown in pictures.

These guys are so NOT strong cause Lynn fell down in the end

The 3 of us were trolley-ing for quite some time, running from McD to KFC with people staring

Seafield gang

You might think that Tony is leaving with all the hugs he’s getting. But the truth must be told; they are just gays who will still be in Malaysia.

Uni gang.

Unimates

This time, the atmosphere was totally opposite from the usual. Everyone was so happy and there wasn’t any crying scene.

Quote Joey, “It’s so weird because I’m so hyper right now, but I’m actually crying in the inside.”

ps Reached home safely(thank Buddha) in 15 minutes no thanks to Timothy.

Told you classes are that boring!

It’s also my first night staying in Semenyih after spending 8 hours(spread out over 2 days) to blardy clean my room.

Wednesday 19/9

-mental block- only remember sleeping in the computer lab.

Thursday 20/9

On a very very fine morning, a friend drove his/her car into a manhole. So the best idea(girls’ idea here mind you) is to gather the whole kampung(I think there were 15 of us) to help carry the car right? But all we needed were a couple of men, a wooden door and some metal stuffs to do the work. So the rest of us were just there cheering them on.

The hole beneath the wooden door.

The pros. I’ve also learnt to always pump my spare tyre.

Us shielding away from the scorchy sun. I hope that isn’t my tummy but just extra cloth T__T

 

This will be the only coursemate from UK in my whole 3 years of university life

Spotted wearing cute socks!

Don’t even wanna talk about Thursday night full stop.

Tuesday 25/9

It’s Mid Autumn Festival! As AlfredLoklok was craving for Kajang’s famous satay, Alwyn, Jason and I put aside our priorities (mine of course was going back to Subang la what else) just to accompany our poor friend

KL — Kajang — Semenyih — Uniten — Kajang — Semenyih — Subang. That’s about 150 km dei!

And Uniten is so huge! It’s like a town of it’s own. Signboards, buses, lake, mosque. Nottingham fails kau kau in comparison. They even need to take a bus to go from one class to another. And here I am complaining about the amount I need to walk from my car to class.

About midnight, a couple of us in Semenyih decided to take a stroll around the uni’s lake with our lanterns.

 

Wednesday 26/9

As Sonia will be leaving soon, we had a small lil PE3 gathering in Williams.

Thursday 27/9

Hohoho. Today I’ve managed to drag Hou Yang along to join the dance club! So now I’m in the dance and ace club! Let’s hope I’ll attend all those ballroom/hip hop/pop n lock/breakdance classes!

I’ve also received my design project! The introduction is so scaryfying; The final year design project represents the most challenging and extensive piece of project work that you have undertaken to date.

Sigh, it’s the only year I’m feeling so enthusiastic but with the heavy workloads I already have, guess I won’t be able to do much.

Won’t be blogging anymore. It’s only week 2 and everyone is already studying!

Group projects are the ultimate killer, with at least 3 hours of group meetings with our supervisors per week. Haven’t included meetings with group members
