who reached the peak first?

this was taken yesterday at my friend, Fizan's wedding. he got married first, and left us thinking. we were not really keen on the idea of getting married so early in life, but i guess everyone was forced to at least feel something :p. after the wedding..the 6 of us, all girls decided to continue our "gossip session" at another place. it was not often we can get together like that and we grabbed the opportunity, of course. Zana would follow in Fizan's footsteps next month..coincidentally on the 13th too. one by one is following suit i guess. while some of us are not in a hurry, we still groaned in 'agony' when we heard this person already got married, this person is taken, that person is not available anymore..
well, to each their own..and of course, time is of the essence..but tgk la each person's goal kn..(sj nk comfort myself :p)

having dinner with another fifty thousand people

the other day when i got the medical leave for the slight fever that had been on and off for about a week, i still went to the dinner in Klebang..the big event with our PM. didn't attend the only class that day and still attended the dinner with thousands of ppl, great..my lecturer would kill me if she knows :p my friends said she even asked for me. i didn't know u'd realize i'm not there, miss R.
with all the commotion and after waiting for the staff to arrange the buses in order of each block, we got on one and started fanning ourselves until the bus went on the road. imagine the school bus with no air-cond and not to mention the heat from the sun these days. thank God it's not in the afternoon, or i'd melt down to a puddle already :p
when we were nearing the place, we saw a few busloads of National service's kids. i was thinking they sure invited the whole of the nation for that particular evening, cause i didn't realize at first just how big the place is. then when we were finally there, we saw all sorts of buses taking all sorts of people from all over. there were KYM, MMU, UTeM among them..i dunno much about the others cause there was no written proof anywhere. like us, they went there on school buses and other rented buses..mcm la uitm xde bas kn.
the thing that i hated about that place was it just used the beach for the setup..imagine having to walk on a stretch of beach sands and before that on rocks. the tables were on sand too..it was unbelievably irritating. and there was no designation for the tables, just numbers,..i bet some people were lost in the sea of tables and people that night.

the entertainment for the night was okay..there were Marsha, Anuar Zain singing 'kain pelikat', Fiq, Bob AF, the Kenny person who resembles Sudirman, Ali Mamak and a few others.

the food was horrible though..tasteless asam pedas, diluted gravy of pisang masak lemak, and salty fried chicken among them. to be expected when it's given free :p

most of the ppl were waiting until the end of the event for the lucky draw, wanna see if they're lucky enuff to get the Perodua Viva. i think most of the prizes were won by guys.
and the last part of all, waiting to go back. we had to wait for around half an hour just to drive past the 'dataran'. i dunno how the other bus from my block can get back to the campus in just half an hour, but we were stuck in the long line of buses and cars and only arrived back at 3 in the morning. it was very tiring.

feeling sleepy after the rain

yeah it's about the hockey match that i had to watch yesterday. it rained cats and dogs when we were about to arrive there, and so we stayed on the bus for a while..at least until it was only drizzling. if i'm suddenly feverish today, i could always use it as an excuse to skip the macroeconomy's quiz tomorrow.."my hockey coach made me ill because of some hockey match"..haha. but no, i'm just feeling tired after turning in late last night..or should i say..morning. the noise made me reluctant to sleep, besides i had coffee at nearly 10pm..nasib baik today's sunday.
there were big puddles of water on the road..and we had to cross the road, coz our bus wasn't able to park in the parking area..the other bus did earlier. then the cars had to splash us with water..x baik btul, nasib baik i x duduk right by the roadside. when we're in the compound, everyone was busy buying fruits and snacks and everythg..everyone means us la..not the others who were already there :p
then we went in the hockey stadium, and everyone was looking at us. okay2, we know we're the celebs..no need to stare..LOL. the first thing that we saw were elementary school kids with hockey sticks..maybe they played in the morning. and then i realize that it's actually TNB Malaysian Hockey league with among other sponsors like chilli's and astro. wow, this is big..i thot it was just an average match.
the earlier match had just ended when we arrived, so we waited for the second one for like an eternity before it started. it was between Maybank and UniKL.

the Maybank players throwing jerseys to the audience, sadly i'm too far from them

the latter brought their own supporters, and the former chose to bring balloons and gave them to the kids and told them to cheer for maybank..they're great at cost-cutting, don't u think? haha..

we happened to sit on the Maybank's side with the kids and what a great choice we made yesterday, coz i had my eyes on Maybank's player no.20..he's a great player, but he had some sort of injury and they changed player for a while. not to mention, he's hot too ;p maybe i'll be applying for a job with Maybank when i graduate later..coz they seem to have a lot of hunks around..LOL
we only watched that match,

during the match

and when the match between TNB and KL Hockey Club was a bout to start..we had to go back. didn't get the chance to see no.20 for real tho..jauh2 x nmpk sgt..haha

i should have learnt this a long, long time ago

i dunno about other universities or colleges, but U*** students are supposed to learn a third language..'to prepare ourselves better in facing the extreme competition, fighting for jobs and etc'
when i was in SA, i took up Japanese and thankfully i completed all three parts of it with As..BUT, i can't quite use it officially..coz i dun have and wouldn't have the cert. so, no comments or statements about Japanese language in my future resume whatsoever..
actually i wanted to learn Mandarin, but it was tough when there was so many students and there was only a few classes to cater for us. that's why Japanese language came into the picture. and now, when i'm in Lendu..i have the chance to learn Mandarin again. the other language being offered is Arabic..but there's just a few that are interested to take it. at first i was worried about the registration part, and thinking about the incident before that made me had to choose Japanese as the 2nd choice..i registered as early as possible. but the first class was chaotic. i thought only half of the 3rd semester's business students would be able to take Mandarin, and the others would go for Arabic, but everyone are able to register for Mandarin got the same schedule and even class. so all of us sat in class, making noises and all..and kinda shocked our lecturer when she saw the number of students waiting for her. 
then in the 2nd class, she informed that my class would continue learning with her..and the other had to be with another lecturer and have one class at night. thankfully i dun have any classes at night this semester. coz everyday proves to be tiring even tho we haven't really started learning much..maybe i've been cooped up for too long :p
now, everyone's busy repeating all the Mandarin words and greetings that they have just learnt. one after another would go.."ni hao, ni hao". "ni mang ma?" and they can be really funny or irritating sometimes..coz everyone, i mean most of other courses also learn the language. and when they keep repeating it, and then another group do the same thing..u can only stand so much. i think i dun even have to revise the lessons by myself if this continues, just listen to them daily..they're like an MP3 player or something. it's good for practice, but God help me!
