Sore limbs

I played volleyball and badminton the other day.
Was fun. =D =D
This coming from someone who seldom touches anything remotely connected to sports.

Ok fine. I didn't exactly play volleyball. It was more of a beginner's lesson for a few of us novices (oooh, SAT vocab). I managed to hit the ball ok. Not as bad as you perceive me to be. =P
Though badminton is a much easier game to play. Don't require any skills. Heh.

Will play again if time permits..and if there were no more TESTS.

On a side note, i miss chemistry.
I can feel the chemistry parts of my brain slowly begin to ebb away. =P

I BLEW MY FIRST ENL 101 IN CLASS TEST

MY HOPES OF GETTING AN A+ OR EVEN A HAS DIMMED TREMENDOUSLY

AHROI;J4LWGNH H

Sigh.
Me and my carelessness.
I've failed Prof Lim.
Utter disappointment.
The instructions clearly stated "for each of the sentences, give THREE supporting statements..." and what did i do? Pick only one out of the 3 given sentences instead of doing ALL three.
His voice now rings incessantly in my ears "if you're still doing things like that for the next few test, you can say bye bye to your A".

I will not and must not get anything lower than an A for English.
It's ENGLISH!!!
It'll be such an embarrassment if i fail to even get an A.
Sigh.
Lesson learnt. I hope.

More work to add to the pile since i last updated. All these to be done within the 3 weeks before the one-week break.

-CSC test on Monday (which thankfully will not be graded, thus will not be affecting final score)
-Calculus test in 3 weeks time (and it's pretty tricky)
-Calculus assignment
-Psycho questionnaire to complete
-SAT (Verbal) class - essay intro & examples to support thesis statement

Am really looking forward to going home with no worries and tests to bog me down. =)

Practice

Despite assignments surely but slowly piling up, I shall not be querulous and try to be as assiduous as possible. I must be indefatigable! I must not be frivolous! Two researches to be carried out and reported on; one for ENL and the other for Psycho, to be more adept at vocabulary and essay writing for upcoming mock SAT test, various class tutorials to complete, Psycho short quiz to prepare for(!!!).

Being a JPA scholar makes it that much tougher. Everyone is just as good, if not better than I am. Being in constant close proximity to fellow JPA scholars makes me feel diffidently about my abilites. Oftentimes, i ponder the very reason for my being here. I am not so much sagacious in my ways. Neither am i much of a math whiz nor a profound philosopher. I prefer to think of this scholarship as a blessing.

Am trying to live up to the standards of THE venerable ENL professor.
Indeed, it is a colossal task. One that requires mental agility, English competency and an acute sense of observation. So far, he has not derided my performance in class. Instead, he has been dishing out strings of 'excellent's. I said SO FAR. Sometimes, i walk into his classes with apprehension; pondering if my latest assignment would be methodically torn asunder. Other times, i face each lesson with a sanguine dispossition.

This cloying use of SAT vocabulary is a tad bit very annoying.

There you go, Jas. A short story in which i used some of the words i learnt. =P
Pardon the verbosity.

Minuscule

I am officially denouncing all ties with Giant hypermarket in Nilai.

Never am i going back there again, unless totally necessary.

A view of Inti bus stop. Took this cause i was bored of waiting for a bus to come that has a signboard stuck on the windowpanes that says 'Giant' instead of 'KTM Nilai', 'KLIA', 'LCCT', 'Taman Cempaka' or 'Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi'.

Beng Yen said "you're gonna blog about this right?" or something along those lines. Haha.

Part of the academic block.

The bridge that students use daily to cross over from hostels to classrooms.

Anyway, there are no Inti buses doing their rounds on weekends so there was no free ride to Giant. Beng Yen and I had to pay for the trip, which did not even stop directly at the Giant bus stop. Instead, it unceremoniously dumped us at the round about we walked around like lost sheep, not knowing which direction to take. After walking for quite some time, we spotted this sign.

I remember reading about a Secret Recipe in Giant, but batang hidung pun tak nampak. Only saw a KFC restaurant. And, their pricing system is not updated frequently. I paid extra for something i bought, which i fortunately got a refund for. Poor Beng Yen got cheated in purchasing a bloster for more than what was stated on the price card.

After that little adventure inside Giant, we tried to wait for a bus a nearby bus stop. After about half an hour, Beng Yen and I were excited to see a bus coming. Alas, our hopes were crushed as it was a Nilai College bus. Having given up on waiting, we trudged ALL the way back to the roundabout spot that we were left at earlier on. Finally, we hopped on a bus which took us home. I conjecture (oooh, big SAT vocab. lol) that buses don't ply the 'Giant' route.

Bought this at the Seven Eleven store outside Inti campus. Been wanting to try it since i saw the hilarious advert on Youtube. It's a can drink where the consumer has absolutely no idea what flavour he has picked. There's 'Whatever', the non-carbonated ones and 'Anything' which is the carbonated type. In my case, it was peach tea..or so JyoLyn says. XD it tasted somewhat like the Justea greentea ones. Here, click to find out more about this Singapore made product.

End of a report on what Inti students do during their weekends.

Night Life

When the Friday evening wears on and the hostel atmosphere winds down, there's nothing much to do except going to the Nilai pasar malam. Who knew the pasar malam could be so fun. lots to see and lots to buy. =D

Right after 3 hours of ENL with Prof. Lim, a few of us decided to hop on the public bus to the pasar malam. Oddly, the bus driver charged me only 20 cents for a RM 1 trip. He must've been stunned by my prettyness. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Right.
The pasar malam is actually a long stretch of make-shift shops, tents and stalls on a small street. There were stalls selling a variety of food, home appliances, vegetables and the other uncooked stuff. There was even one dude who offered calligrapy name art. In Jawi that is. =P
Remind me to bring my camera along the next time i go.

This was our loot of the night. There's banana cake, murtabak, satay, lemang, chicken rice, kebab, durian and grapes. Yes, we bought durian. XD D24 wan ok! Heh.
Michelle and I shared in purchasing some of these. Hahahaha. Everything was quite nice, except the kebab.

Wendy and Crystal with their loot.

Ah Liang with his loot.


This is part of our dining hallocated directly below the Sports Hall and Accomodations Office. The large window panes with packets of junk food behind them is the Inti Mart, which sells practically everything. Next to it is one of the photocopying shops available in Inti. =)

Clockwise from left : Liang, Jit Chun, Michelle, Karyn and Crystal
By the way, Crystal is Denise's friend whom she met during her ASEAN days in Singapore, who is now my friend too! =)


EARRINGS!!! =D another pair to add to my collection.
Michelle bought for me wan ok. =D =D =D
She says it's for my birthday. Hahaha..my roomie is such a cute girl.

Lalalaa. I <3 earrings.

Weird, random stuff.

*RULE 1:
Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things / habits / little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird habits /things / little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
No TAG backs!

1. I miss Penang bak kut teh. (Sorry lo, that was the first thought that came to mind. Eheh.) Seriously, the ones here that i tried so far were terribly watered down or did not taste like bak kut teh at all. And not to mention a waste of good money.

2. I got 1000 bombastic words to learn in preparation for SAT.

3. There's one dude here who reminds me of 'Uncle' from a certain college back in Penang. HAHAHAHAHA.

4. Uh..I've not had curry mee in ages. Don't plan to either.

5. I nearly fell asleep in Psychology class yesterday.

6. I predict that Calculus will be really fun in the coming months. Yay maths!

7. My friends noticed that i own pretty earrings. =D =D

8. I miss matching my outfits with my shoes. Hahaa. Here, it's mostly sneakers everyday. Boring stuff.

9. I want a Forever Friends bear. Super super super uber ultra extremely soft and extremely pricey too. Simply step into a Borders bookstore/Hallmark gift shop to see the mentioned bear. Go hug it and see how nice it feels. *grins*


10. I'm coming back in August! WHEEEEE. Penang food.

11. There are many pretty JPA scholars here. Brains & beauty. Heh.

12. Celery is not my thing. Neither is that..weird smelling veggie that's ofteen used to garnish food. No, not spring onions. I don't know what they're called..I just name them smelly veggie in hokkien.

13. One thing i miss about being home in Penang is that mummy is the paymaster. =P Now i pay for everything and stuff ain't cheap. One Psycho book took away a piece of the blue-green notes in my possesion. How sad.

14. I shall not be a worry-wart.

15. I'm going for dinner now. SEEYA!


I hereby tag....
ANYONE!
