Whoa!

Ahh, Chinese New Year. Where do I start with it. I think its kinda weird, really. I'm 75% chinese but I really don't do anything Chinese-y other than eat (halal) chinese food (contrary to Suff's beliefs), use chopsticks and say "Wa Lao!" and other stuff in cheena ways when the time is right.

My mum is chinese but she doesn't know her real family (think along full circle family stories) and my dad's mum is chinese but she's SO melayu now I forget that she's chinese. Plus we never really were the visiting sort with my nenek's family.

Actually I don't even know them to begin with. I only know my nenek's mum/ggmother passed away and I remember seeing her like once in the hospital when I was really young and was amused at her extremely small feet.

Ah thats about it ah.

So basically I am chinese by blood but malay by everything else. -shrugs- doesn't bother me anyway.

So today being CNY and all, the roads were SO empty when we left home at 8-ish.




ONE taxi on the PIE. ONE. ONE. ONE.

Oh yeah, the parents are in a similar shade of brown. Okay let me correct that. ALL FOUR OF US WERE IN SOME HIDEOUS SHADE OF BROWN.

My mum loves wearing the same colour. She usually wears matching colours with my dad but today she decided to drag us into it as well. But my sister and I weren't feeling it man.



My tudung was almost the same shade of brown as my sister's jubah and MY jubah was the exact same colour as her tudung. Go figure. We were like walking inverses.

(She isn't really sleeping, its just for the camera)

My sister and I actually had plans to sit at different corners of the mosque once we got there.

A few days ago I combed my hair and there was a knot. I tugged hard on it and this came out.



Wow, thanks man.

---

I don't understand why my sister needs this ginormous amount of markers to do her bio journal.

I really don't.



Its like the same colour with 984375893274234 different shades.

Speaking of my antelope sister, have you seen her lion dance pics on her blog? HAHA! I'm proud (somehow) to say that she was one of the kepala singa-s! Totally! Now that her lion dance is over, she can't stop drumming the rhythm and acting out the moves at home.

Gross.

If the external publishing on Blogger is STILL not okay (its already been 2 weeks) by wednesday next week, I will move am11 some place better.

Yes, that is my final un-garang ultimatum.

Waiting for KFC to come! Yey!

Byebye Moto!

Blogger is being a pain as usual. I once told Ahmad I wanted to move my blog someplace else but was just undecided. There's a problem with Blogger's publishing so it takes 1 day before what I publish gets published.

#%$^

ANYWAY!

I changed my phone!! Wahoo!! I got a phone out of my plan A/B/C that I listed down in a previous entry.

I LOVE IT!

Anyway. I got Ain's phone, K800i! Wahoo! Different colour though. It rocks la. I'm just so in love with it. And it takes EXCELLENT pictures with the 3.2Megapixel cybershot!



See see! Yess la. But I can't turn off the sound for the shutter for the camera! Means no more stealth shots. Dangss.

OH I've been meaning to blog this for a long time but Blogger was being PMS-y.

So last Thursday, Ain's Loner Guy and I finally had our FIRST verbal exchange after 3 semesters, 4 weeks and 4 days!!!

Not that I was *dying* for a verbal exchange anyway since I've always been scared of Loner Guy..just because. I know I like bad boys, but he's too bad for me (not as if i'm *so* baik slash angelic). Plus he looks too intimidating!

ANYWAY! Here was how our verbal exchange went.

I crashed Ain's 8am spectroII lecture and I was sitting with her at the back row. Loner Guy and Alfons were sitting in the row in front of us. So Ain got hungry as usual and

Ain: -taps Loner Guy's shoulder and points to biscuits that he brought- Satu boleh?

Loner Guy: -offers her the biscuits and turns to me- Nak?

Me: -shakes head- Tak. -and continues doing my physical tutorial-

HAHA! YES my friends that was our verbal exchange!

You know what, I'm happy that Ain and Loner Guy are friends now. Considering she's had the BIGGEST crush on him for THE longest time. Sigh. What kental days were our semester1 year 1 days..-stares at ain and shah-

*replays "Ehhhh suara DIA sedap ahhhh!" (guess who guess who!)*

Well after Ain took the biscuits she said something really d'oh and I shan't post it up here to preserve our friendship.

Ok time to go to school!

Today.

I had the usual breakfast with Alfons today. He was eating rice and by the time he was finished and carried his plate to the plates corner he sat back down at the table and saw the mess he made.



Alfian: Ek ehh Amy...Siapa makan ni? Na'uzubillah min zalikkkk!! Berkecahhh! -act professor- As we can observe from the food scatter, this is the outline of the plate...

WTH man. Haha.

Then he asked me about my modules and I asked him about his..if he was lost or still on the right track..

Alfian: Spectro I'm so far okay la..can understand..Only the serunding equation aku tak faham sehh!!

Serunding, is some coconut thing which you eat with lontong.

The equation in question here is the Schrödinger Equation.

Haha Alfian, alfian.. But nevermind la..he still has like one of the biggest hearts around and probably one of the sweetest guy friends I have even though he has weird fantasies with the girls in Chem lecs (he wanted to use rubber band to "lastic" some girl who was wearing a bareback) and he thinks he can charm girls by his vast history knowledge.

Because he will sms you late at night after a (late)day out to make sure you're safely home.



(He renamed his name himself ah.)

So sweet right this kind of friend! Gentleman sia this one. Too bad SN tak kenal kau Alfons. Mwahahha.

I was at the MS workspace just now after lab at 215pm while waiting for it to be 6pm so I can head over to arts for german. I was feeling SO extremely sleep and it was SO extremely cold in the workspace. So I put on my labcoat and went to sleep.

I was feeling all proud of my new improvisation..

Until this Catholic/Christian society guy on the other side asked his friend "eh is she wearing a labcoat?" while I was half asleep-half distracted by the Hindu Soc people making a ton of noise.

COOL WHAT WEAR LAB COAT!

Haha sometimes i am SO kental. I know.

And today is the day I realise that I really can't stand self centredness. I mean, there IS a limit to it you know!!! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU! ARGH.

In German class we were playing a game where we make sentences describing something and the other group has to guess what we're describing.

So Adi's group asked another guy's group.

In English:
1. I am switched on everyday
2. I am loved (to use) by children
3. I am usually accompanied by an animal

like WTH IS IT RIGHT!?!?! I answered Barney and Friends and its wrong.

Anyway. Some guy from the opposing group went "UHhhh.. CALL A FRIEND!!! FRAU VERRY!!"

And our teacher, Frau Verry immediately said "I am NOT your friend!!!"

Haha. Amikk kau obattt. Damn funny la. I love German class actually, just the unearthly hours are taking its toll on me.

Anyway the answer to the question is "A computer." Animal=mouse. I know, right?

I started a revolution, yo!

So I was at Clementi today with the sister to get stationery and stuff to organise my very messy study table.





Now, those of you who frequent Clementi central would know that parking there can be a bitch. There were NO empty lots and we already waited for at least 10 minutes. The only empty lots were red season parking lots. Something like this:





There were at least 4-5 empty red lots.

My sister said that the sign at the red lots said "Season parking from 7PM to 7AM everyday including Sundays and public holidays"

Sister: Eh just park there la! Its 430pm what..that means we can park there now!"

Me:Huh? If like that then why is NO ONE parking there? Why is everyone queueing at the white lots?!

Sister: Tsk! Because they didn't read the sign la duh! Just park there quick!!

So I did.

And seconds after I reversed into the lot, a few other cars started occupying the other empty red lots as well!

Sister: Wah kak! You started a revolution ah!

REVOLUTION!!!
