tango.

Guess what!!

I went swimming today.

Okay I know it sounds very jakun-ish. But in fact if you know me then you'd know that I hate going swimming.

Because of two reasons.

1. Hate the chlorine in my hair. Now I have to go mask it if not it'll be all dry.
2. Swimsuit tan!! Now I have a slight one.


Off now. I still have 4 analysis, 1 article and the commonwealth story to work on.

getting past it.

Got back from Ipoh this afternoon. And the surprising thing is that there practically wasn't any traffic on the way there or back!

Chinese New Year this year was no different from the rest of the years.

The usual Tuan Yuan Fan on Sunday. Monday was visiting followed by dinner at Wah Chai. And then Tuesday is the party.

Every year it's the same thing. Eat, sleep, collect ang pow and help my grandmother.

But then I shouldn't be complaining.

After all if everything goes according to plan, this is probably my second last new year in Ipoh seeing as A-levels finishes next June/July and hopefully I'll be off to UK in September. So obviously then I won't be able to come back for CNY.

A funny story to tell.

Me and my mum went out to try and get marshmallows cause we were having a barbeque during the party. 7-11 didn't have so we tried another convenience store and my mum asked "Do you have any marshmallows?" and you know what the woman said?

"Mashed Milo? Sorry don't have but we do have Milo."

Hahahahahahaha. I swear I laughed so hard.

Another strange thing, all the time I was in Ipoh I couldn't help but think "I should have brought my laptop so that I can write my analysis and article." Isn't that strange? I used to love going to Ipoh as I wouldn't need to think about any work but now I can't help but think of work.

in the middle

So after passing my undang test the next step would be to go for the 6 hour amali thing.

Which I did today. And I found more interesting than the 5 hour undang one.

3 hours spent in the classroom learning about parts of the car was pretty okay. But it got kinda boring after a time as it was basically the same thing over and over again as the guy wanted to make sure we knew the parts. And I think he has something against mechanics as he kept saying that mechanics were manipulating people who only cheat money out of us.

The next 3 hours was for the practical part. Basically we learned that we have to check certain things every week and how to change a tyre. And then the nerve wrecking part came. The driving!!!

There were 3 of us in the group. Lam, this other guy and me. I went last.

It went better than expected. Like my car only stalled once. And I can do the slope part. But not very good at stopping on the yellow line.

And who said guys were better drivers!?

The other guy in my group stalled 3-4 times whereas Lam stalled a MILLION times!! Okay not really, but it was more than 10 times. Hahahaha.

So I'm pretty pleased with myself. =D

Going back to Ipoh in a couple of hours time so no updates till I get back on Wednesday.

Until then,


GONG XI FA CAI!!
Hong Bao Na Lai?

mixed signals.

Okay so here it goes.

Orientation party was okay. Quite fun in a way. The performances were WAY awesome. Like there are seriously so many talented people on campus. Food was okay too.

So finally the awaited moment of the day arrived.

Announcement of Student Council Election Results.

Results as follows:

President: Stephanie
Vice President: George and KJ
Secretary: Sharon
Vice Secretary: Yenn Ling
Treasurer: Abby
Vice Treasurer: Marcia!!!!!

So yeah, out of the three people in my class only one got a post. But it's okay. Cause the people who got elected will do a great job of running the student council I'm sure.

That's bout it. Not really in the mood to blog.

see the future.

Currently there is campaigning going on at TCSH.

For the student council.

If you're studying at TCSH or have friends here please vote or tell your friends to vote for:

Faiz for President
Lucas for Vice President
Janice Siew Mun Wah for Secretary
Marcia Lee Kim Kuan for Treasurer

I sincerely believe they are all very capable of doing a wonderful job thus deserving your votes.

Here's a campaign video Faiz & Lucas made. Staying true to themselves, it is quite stupid.

footprints.

Did you know that you can still drink the milk of a cow that has mad cow disease??

Read the article *HERE*.

And that not all snakes lay eggs? Like boas, anacondas and copperhead snakes give birth.

Click *HERE*.

And why would I have know all this? Because for some reason it comes up during Psychology class.

Weird right? But at least we learn more.
