He started off as an ordinary black cat who just happens to come by the house every now and then for food.Then,he decided to stick around for a little more that he's come to be so comfortable at home.He is very manja.Mum thinks that he probably had an owner once but was abandoned or something.That poor thing.He tends to get a little noisy sometimes when he's hungry but otherwise he's alright.Fei Mao loves him which is a sort of reason for us not to kick him out completely.
Once,he came back looking all beaten up.We thought he broke his front left leg but later,he recovered.Today,he came back looking so much worse.My dad freaked out that he told Shu,Ash and I to take him straight to the vet coz he thought Drac was going to die.He lives.The doctor gave him loads of meds to make him better.I got a little scared looking at him shaking in pain on the vet's table but after the jap,he looks so much more alive.
We have to keep him in the cage until he recovers.Hopefully,he hasn't got any fungal infections or anything.Apparently,it's contagious to humans.Hurmm........

perfect timing?
Maybe.......
Shu will be done with his exams once my finals begin.Shu's folks will be coming over on the last day of my examination.My senses tell me that things shall be moving fast forward then onwards.How fast?Not quite sure just yet.
Am I scared?Maybe.A little.I've never done this before.
Am I excited?Yes.Very.
I'll be starting a new life.My role as an individual shall change in many ways.For someone who hardly ever volunteers to take up any form of responsibilities at all,here I am taking up more responsibities than I can ever imagine.
There will be new challenges I shall have to come across and I have only prayers to help me get through them all.I want this and I am aware of the consequences and conditions which I shall be facing.It's not going to be easy and knowing me,always trying to find the easiest way out...........well......this isn't an easy way out.This is a decision.One that I made on my own.I hate making decisions on a daily basis and here I am calling the shots over the biggest decision I can ever make in my life.
Still,there are a few things I am not sure of.I have never planned a wedding before let alone MY own!I have no clue what hantarans are.I don't know what the significance in the number of dulangs are.I can't quite estimate the time needed for the preparations for which ever occassion comes first.The only thing that has already been finalized would be the guest list.It is LONG,that much I can say ;)

butterflies in my tummy
Got up this morning and the first text message I retrieved from my cellphone was from Shu saying that his folks are coming on the 17th of next month to see my folks.For a while,I thought it's April already.
It's strange how we've been having this conversation about us getting married and all.At first,the conversation was only between Shu and I.It was just us getting lost in eachother wanting to take this amazing thing we share one step further.Then,things became serious from the day he spoke to my father asking for my hand in marriage.Eventhough my mum was already planning for preparations and all,she said she wanted to wait till she comes back from the states when Shu's folks finally comes over to discuss what needs to be prepared and all.Now,they are finally coming and we are one step away from deciding when we can finally tie the knot.
Here's the thing,as much as I always oppose every little thing my mum's planned,I have no clue what the procedures are.I have no idea what needs to be done.I have no idea what to prepare.I'd speak to Shu and he'd explain to me what is what and why such things are required.My assignments are finally done and now,this is all that's left for me to think about (apart from revising for the finals of course) Shu once told me that he often wonders what it's like to anticipate the meeting of his folks with mine.Now,he knows...........
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was late for campus this morning.Had to send my assignment to Dr. Wejdan's office coz it's about 2 weeks overdue.Thanks to Shu's nephew who not only speaks Arabic but has a string of contacts who are Arabic experts who helped me A LOT with my homework,I managed to get my work done and learn a thing or two at the same time.SUH-WEET!
Managed to stop by at Dr. Salim's office to see if he got my paper.I think he was asleep.Haha......
The first dude Shu and I bumped into this morning was Israr who asked out loud if I got up late for class or something.That was funny coz he asked about Shu and the moment I said "he's my fiance actually",he immediately held out his hand and said "oh,fiance!I'll have to shake hands with!" I think that sorta surprised Shu for a bit coz he's heard of Israr from me since we were and are classmates afterall.Haha!
I am currently worrie about Kecik.Something happened to his lower lip and I think he is in pain.Shu and I shall be taking him to the vet tomorrow after my Automotive Skills exam.Hopefully,Kecik will recover.Inspite of being still,he still has the cheek to chase,play around and eventually kill a baby mouse.That mouse was so cute and it was screeching in pain!BAD KECIK!

takoyakified!
Wah.........so nice lor to be able to just kick back a little and know that I don't really have to get up in the mornings as a routine anymore.I was beginning to feel a little sick of the semester halfway through coz I seriously hate routines and it's hard to get up when you haven't really slept properly the night before.Not to mention the backdated assignments and my health not being at its best.It sorta became suckier as the semester ended.I just hope I've learned enough to make it all worth the time and energy I've spent.
Foxburr-san belanja-ed me takoyaki a while ago.He's been wanting to take me there for weeks but we haven't actually had time to go.Finally we did and them takos are ever so yummy!
Oh yeah,the Panda's gear box jammed up AGAIN.It just got back from the workshop a few days ago.Luckily,we were already in TTDI when that happened.Still,it sucks to know that most of the time I spend with that car usually ends up with Shu and I waiting for my folks and a tow truck.
The presentation yesterday morning was funny.Before my groupmates arrived at the class,I was talking to Yunus.He said his groupmates ditched him so he did some analysis on his own.He didn't wanna present coz he said it would be embarassing to go up front and talk about something completely alien from the research carried out by groupmates.His turn finally came and he presented coz his groupmates gave him a paper with the parts he had to present.
Something funnier happened later after the class was over.My groupmates told me that Yunus was arguing with a girl outside the class.What happened was that he got offended by that girl coz she was laughing and talking to her friends as he was presenting.Of course it's rude but I didn't think he'd take it that far.Seriously,I think it sucks even more to be performing with my band on stage and there's absolutely not respond from the crowd.
Anywho,that wasn't really the event of the day.Shu found some stuff on the cellphone he's currently using (which is not his coz he lost his cellphone) that turned out to be quite disturbing.So disturbing that I didn't bother to see.He ended up deleting them all since it was such a disturbing experience to have seen such things.I shall not mention names but I'd like to ask this-WHY?! And of course........eeeeuwie!

I'd lie if I said I didn't study
But when it comes to these sort of things........I'd have to be doing the real thing than just reading it from paper..........and as my gut told me since last night,my task today was to set the engine valves.That meant either very low or no marks for me at all coz of all the practical classes I missed was that particular one and the last thing I could ever do even if my life depends on it would be reading and memorizing automotive tasks without looking at the engine.
Of course,theoretically,I would know that valves involves pistons and combustion but to set it and to somehow know what BDCT meant and still not able to convince my groupmates that we've been doing it all wrong is just a bit hard to believe.Doesn't matter,it's all done now.I'm just gonna have to study for the theory test next week.........same time,same place..........will be missing the workshop...... :/

not my problem,our problem
It sucks to think of the fate of people who go through the toughest crap and still not get any form of justice from anyone anywhere.To think that the problems we face here and now are as tough as any other crap we have gone through whereas other people have bigger problems which may seem like there is no way out but still,these people are the ones who'd carry on living through every second given to them only because hope is the only thing left.At least for them it is.
I personally know single parents (mothers mostly) who gives up more than half of their lives for their children and get the crappiest deals and treatments from social services and the employers they work for.Why aren't any of their problems justified at all?Because we are people who are only concerned with our lives and our problems and that the rest of the world is none of our business?What about people who'd have to work 2 or 3 jobs just so that their kids can live another day?
Then again,maybe these people aren't working hard enough.I dunno.......it's always easier said than done.Working harder than you already can.What would I know?I'm just a student.I don't pay taxes.I don't earn a living.I just observe and hopefully,I'll learn.

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as AFL 5.0, The Ashes 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed, Desperate
............................
.............................
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Please enter the command: 'http: I Thought You Loved Me.HTML and try to download Tears 6.2. Don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should automatically run applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse of the above applications can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.
These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend Food 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
Tech Support

Haih.......and you call yourself a cat?!
Got home and couldn't find Kecik anywhere in the house.He was nowhere outside either.I thought he was just out and about but looking at the time,it was Kecik's afternoon nap time.Then,we heard a cat crying outside.Went outside and saw Kecik on the balcony of our nextdoor neighbour.He got up there but couldn't find a way down.
I managed to get Kecik to step out and guided him to get closer to the gate so that we (either Shu or I) can grab him without having to climb over our neighbour's gate.Unfortunately,Kecik wasn't brave enough to jump down.Ash ran into the house to get a ladder.In the meantime,Shu and I tried to get Kecik to get onto the other neighbour's roof so that we'd have a better chance to getting him down.
Finally,Ash got the ladder.Shu climbed up and managed to grab Kecik by the collar.All us went back home and the first thing Kecik did was to make a run for the litter tray.After that,he ate like he's been starving for a week.That was funny.I wonder how long he was stuck up there.

I always said being sick is the worst feeling in the world.I'm right.It does suck.As much as I don't wanna depend on meds,I have to.Eventhought its not anything serious like drugs,they're still pills.This happened before.I wonder if my whole idea about not eating chicken and beef (and mutton) has got anything to do with it.
I know that eversince I've become a junkaholic which means eating less food and more junk,my immunity system has gone down so much lower than before.I am aware of that.I think that because I haven't gotten around to repairing such damage,my entire system is slowly deteriorating.
Having said that,it also doesn't help that I am addicted to J.Co's Chocomint freeze!Damn it!They cost a bomb and they taste ever so good!I am not upset so much from having to be deprived of sugar,I'm just having a hard time adjusting to the ice-blended-free drinks.Or rather,ice-free drinks thanks to my swollen tonsil.
I am the sickest person living in my home at the moment and my dad doesn't know it AT ALL.Haha!

low blood pressure:round 2
Been sick these past few days.It's quite annoying.Was at the clinic yesterday.My tonsil is swollen again.Told the doctors to give me some antibiotics.Today Shu took me to the clinic again coz I'd get lightheaded everytime I get up in the morning and I'd get nauseous when I'm in the car.Only lately this happens.I figured its got something to do with my blood pressure.I was right.My bp was super low.It was 90/50.The doctor gave me some iron pills.
Strange,this happened a few years ago when I used to not eat........hurmm.......

carbu-what?
The carburetor......ya know,the thing that blends fuel with air for internal combustion in the engine?The creation of fuel injections almost wipe it out completely.Almost..........Nevermind.........
I am just trying to be prepared for tomorrow's presentation.We're not given topics.Instead,we have to choose a topic ourselves.One that is NOT taught in class.Hence,the carburetor.With the help of my groupmates who are engineering students.Hehe.......
I wasn't trying to be the smartypants who chose this topic.I just thought it makes an interesting topic since most cars run on fuel injection engines these days.Besides,everyone said the topic is alright......
Been sick today.....this morning.......couldn't get up.Didn't get up till about 11:48am-ish.That's almost noon.But I got up anyways.Didn't get much work done.In fact,I didn't get any work done at all.Can't think properly with this headache.

throbbing
Mum left with Azim and Qarim at about 6:30 this morning.They probably had just arrived in Stockholm (I think).They're on their way to Michigan to see Eno-san.After all the problems Qarim went through in getting his VISA,he's finally on his wy there already.His SPM results is coming out tomorrow (I think).
In the meantime,I am stuck with classes (still).Will be at home with my dad and Shu till they (mum,Q &A) come back.My grandma will be around the house in the afternoons till about 10pm.Kak Yah comes in the morning and leaves at about 5pm like she always does.My sister and Rashid will be home during the weekends.
I have a band meeting on Saturday at about 4pm over at Ayie's workplace.No idea if there'll be any jamming sessions.
Anywho,my head had been throbbing since morning.I think its migraine.I usually don't get migraines.Maybe its coz I got up superearly this morning (5:30am-ish) and I haven't been able to sleep since my mum left.Managed to get myself to class on time this morning but because my head's been throbbing off and on,I just couldn't go on with classes.Shu is also sick.He's been sick for a few days now.

Sorry,sir.Traffic was horrible.......
It didn't help that I had to drive a different car today (one that is slightly underpowered) and very basic.It didn't matter.It got me to class safely (but late) and it got me home through the rain and the traffic which was caused by idiots who have no idea how to drive in the rain.
*sigh*
Was gonna talk about my band instead.We went jamming last weekend.Rashid was late coz he was stuck in a traffic jam on his way back from the movies with my mum and my other brothers.Shu and I met up with Ayie and Kamal at the studio about 10 minutes before jamming.
The first thing Kamal asked Shu was "do you know how to play the drums?" Nope.Shu is very much a bassist and a guitarist and he doesn't play the drums.I do but I can't play coz I had to sing and having the rythm guitar is important (for me) for timing purposes.
While waiting for Rashid-san,Ayie and Kamal took turns at the drums.Ayie couldn't keep a consistant tempo while Kamal couldn't play along with the high hat.Also,the song was cut short coz Kamal wasn't at his guitar to fill up the guitar solos.
Rashid arrived half and hour later and was slightly pissed off with the movie.He went straight at the drumset and started jamming our playlist.Shu then took pictures with Ayie's DSLR to be posted at our site.We have yet to schedule a proper photoshoot.
Next meeting,4pm,Saturday at Ayie's workplace........makan free???Maybe?

gearbox failure
Nothing scares the shit outta me more than reading "gearbox failure" on the indicator screen while driving!Yes,yes.....it's hard to go about with machines which are smarter than you even when they're not designed in such ways.
*sigh*
Was on my way to class this morning.Shu drove while Ash was in the back seat.We got to the toll house at about 9:35am-ish and just as we passed the booth,the indicator beeped and read out "gearbox failure".That meant that the car wouldn't let us shift into any other gears including setting it to neutral.
*double sigh*
Shu managed to pull over on 2nd gear.There was no way (IN HELL) that we would be able to reset the gearbox (coz Fiat would lose their customers otherwise) and even if we do know how to do it,we might risk resetting the entire system.
So there we were stranded on the roadside from 9:45am all the way to 11:30am.Called my mum coz I didn't wanna risk damaging the car.She was trying to get our mechanic to get a tow truck.Since the car is a regular front wheel drive and it's locked in 2nd gear,we had to wait for a tow truck that could pull the car up instead of having to push it up onto the platform.
Amin Reza decided to cover for me for the quiz this morning.I owe him one.Missed my EAP class at 2pm coz I was getting sick from my empty stomach and the heat and all.Shu was sick and Ash decided to ditch his 2pm class since everyone else voted to have brunch and rest at home till about 2:30pm.
I didn't get much sleep coz I promised my lecturer I'd present my project today.Got a pretty good bashing for about an hour of class time.I worked my ass off (with Shu's help) for that project and it still wasn't good enough.Maybe I failed to cover all the flaws.Maybe I just didn't see the whole thing the way my lecturer did.Oh well.......
Hung around with Shu for a bit.We saw some pretty awesome mini guns which loads on ballbearings!I'd opt for the 0.25mg ballbearings over the 0.12mg!To be fair,both Shu and I shall have to use the same gun.We opted for the AK-47 mini!Yey!New toys to be added to our wishlist!And who are we planning to shoot?.........hehehe.........
P.S.:I think Kecik is still a bit upset with what I did to him this morning.Hopefully,he'll get over it and start hanging out like always again ;)
*sigh*
Was on my way to class this morning.Shu drove while Ash was in the back seat.We got to the toll house at about 9:35am-ish and just as we passed the booth,the indicator beeped and read out "gearbox failure".That meant that the car wouldn't let us shift into any other gears including setting it to neutral.
*double sigh*
Shu managed to pull over on 2nd gear.There was no way (IN HELL) that we would be able to reset the gearbox (coz Fiat would lose their customers otherwise) and even if we do know how to do it,we might risk resetting the entire system.

what now?
Strange how I feel like I haven't gotten anywhere in life.I have obviously exceeded about 7 years of my life now (and counting).I don't know if it's because I just wanna do a whole lot of things but haven't quite got the time to do it or I'm simply not given the chance to do them.Either ways,I think my ultimate issue would be my I-Don't-Give-A-Damn attitude.I just couldn't give a fuck about some shit and no matter how hard people try to make me change my mind about it,I just can't.I'll do what I want,when I want to and I don't care what you say coz if I don't wanna do it then I ain't gonna do it.
The whole "you HAVE TO" or "you MUST" shit doesn't quite work on me.Unless of course,I'm getting cash everytime I do it.Haha!It's just unfair ain't it?Life,I mean.There's just so many things we CANNOT DO and so many things that we HAVE TO DO but the bottom line is,it doesn't really change anything to begin with.So why bother?

anywhere everywhere
Was checking out this new mall over at PJ called Tropicana Mall (or something) yesterday.It's a new mall and they haven't even started charging for parking lots.That was cool.Shu and I just had trouble looking for a place to eat.
Today was a rather long-ish day.Had class this morning which ended at 11am.Shu and I managed to have brunch and then we had to get back to campus coz I had a meeting at 1pm for my automotive skills presentation.It was quite frustrating coz we're not quite sure who our group members are and only 3 of us turned up-Intan,Atikah and I :/ That didn't take long.
We headed straight to Bangi later on to get the program (which Shu REALLY3 NEEDS) from one of Shu's classmates.Transferred it and all and we headed home.We had to get home in time for our assignment tonight which was to send some stuff over to my aunt's place.
That plan changed as well.We ended up taking Kecik with us all the way to a restaurant near my aunt's place to meet up with my uncle,my aunt and my cousin who went out for dinner.After that we headed over to my aunt's place.Kecik was introduced to my aunt's little kitten (who is not a male!)
Kecik hates that kitten!Hahahaha!We had a good laugh watching those 2 felines going about with one another..........
Oh yeah,Xaibo aka Asyraq called me yesterday.He wanted to know if I'll be at home this weekend coz he wants to come over to pass something to my mum for Eno.We have a lot of catching up to do.I was shocked to find out that he's broken up with his girlfriend.He was shocked to hear the news that Shu and I are getting married.
It's funny talking to Xaibo coz he and Eno are batchmates (back in KYSM) and Shu was their senior back in school.Since Xaibo was quite close to Eno-san,he knew and heard a lot about me especially after Shu and I got together.My gawd!I am sure to be seeing a whole bunch of ex-KYSM students at my wedding!Here's the worst part,I probably don't know most of them as much as they know me!
KERO!

so this is how it feels to let it go to let it fall apart
Here's the truth about everything that's been going down in the last couple of months.I am slowly deteriorating.Very soon,I might just self destruct.I can't do this anymore.It's hard to talk to myself or to talk to Kecik for that matter.He doesn't say anything.He probably doesn't know what's been happening.
I am not paying attention in classes.Well,except for Arabic coz its a language subject.I can't think of writing my EAP paper eventhough I already have an outline with drafts and stuff.I am failing some subjects for midterms and quizzes.I have trouble paying attention especially to stuff which aren't really comprhendable.
I am alone and I don't know where I'm going.I wish to say goodbye for good.I can't stand this world I live in.There's too much pain and I cannot do anything to stop it.I can't even make my own pain go away.I too am counting down the days till this world finally breaks apart.I hope I won't live long enough to have to live through that.I have enough on my back as it is.
I don't know why I keep trying so hard at a lot of things.I can't do it.I should have known.I am not as strong as I thought I was.I am not as smart as I always hoped to be.I can't keep up.I keep getting stuck and talking to other people makes me feel like I am speaking a different language altogether.One that no one understands.

project total annihilation
I often wonder why is it that I despise human beings so much.I am ashamed to say that I am one.It's annoying coz for a being designed.......created with a lot of advantages,we pretty much messed up BIG TIME.
Firstly,we can't live in peace with one another.Always finding eachother's faults and flaws and killing eachother and always trying to make the other person fall.We are a whole bunch of destructive creatures living together.When we're done destroying one another,we'd destroy Mother Earth until there's nothing left.
Yesterday,my lecturer said he doesn't like rain because it causes flood and destroys a lot of things.There is absolutely nothing wrong with rain.It's what people have done to nature that causes flood and stuff.It's called nature for a reason.Duh!
Apart from being destructive and all,we can't help but not progress in life.We become less and less intelligent as time goes by.I think the minds of people in general are deteriorating.There's no advancement at all.Because we are shallow in thinking,we only look at progress in the light of physical development and nothing more.
The mind is a very powerful tool.We tend to forget that.So instead of thinking of issues that matters where living is concerned,we think we are being advanced by building and creating things which doesn't benefit us much.Most of the time,it just costs a lot.Yeah you'd probably feel a wee bit more intelligent.Truth is,you're not that far ahead in life.
We are human beings.We destroy.

sunrays through the clouds
Another rainy day.Another time getting soaked in the pouring rain from having to run to the car.Another lepak session with Lina-san after Mazlan-sensei's class.
It was funny how I bumped into Israr and asked if it's safe to run to the car with all the lightning and stuff.I don't trust my slippers (coz I doubt if the bottoms are rubber) I might have been the perfect conductor for the highly charged electricity to earth!
No,I was NOT struck by lightning and condemned to doom!
WTF?!
I am officially screwed.NOT LITERALLY!Got up this morning and felt like the whole world is gonna come down on me.It didn't.Except for the part where I realized how crappy my performance is for certain classes,I think my day turned out pretty well.
For starters,Mazlan-sensei did NOT kill me for NOT showing up for class last week!I have a particularly good reason for that.NOT an excuse!
I enjoyed Nadia's presentation.I don't have the guts to do what she did for her presentation!Kudos to Nadia-san! ^_^ No,I did NOT volunteer to present for next class.Not up for it.And NO,I do NOT volunteer.It takes too much effort.
Haha!
Was talking to Lina about men and infidelity and how stupid they are when it comes to doing what's right. *sigh* It's hard to speak to people who haven't the slightest idea what they are talking about.With weak understanding and poor arguements,they can never make me understand what it is they learn and what they fail to comprehend. *more sighing*
And then,my mum was crying after watching the clip of that 15-year old kid who got beat-up by his seniors in school.Keywords:unbecoming,uncivilized,lack of civic consciousness.Failure in education system?Maybe.But what exactly shapes the mentality of the society?How do you educate people who cannot be taught anymore?
For example,the difference between someone who is educated and someone who is not,someone who wants to be educated and someone who refuse to be educated.Upbringing.The word justification is very subjective.Maybe different people have different ways in justifying themselves.
Some people feel like violence is a solution.Some people don't.At one end,my sister and I thought boarding schools are fucked up coz the kids are pressured into getting themselves "disciplined" but actually they are not.That isn't entirely true.I came from a day school.The kids are still fucked up.
I remember my disciplinary teacher back in school told us all that we are a bunch of cowards for having to bring our "gang" along when it comes to confrontations and shit like that.Why risk getting yourself and your future for one stupid minor problem?Why not make an everlasting impact to that other person?Why not call upon Hell Girl?<---NOT a solution.
I think the objective of getting even is to come out as the winner WITHOUT losing anything.I am almost done thinking of all the shit that goes about in this world I live in.Like the other day in the news when all these so called "rempits" beat the shit out of a dude.Having to deal with such creatures,you have to at least try to see things the way they do.I can't.I am not one of them and I refuse to see what they see.To me,they are as unbecoming as any human being can be.I am not helping at all.I know.
On the not-so-brighter side of the world,went to see Kamal at the hospital but he was alseep so my mum,my brothers and I just left the tin of bicuits with a note at his side and left.I hope he gets better SOON!RadioEdit CANNOT afford to lose THE guitarist!

theater fest@UNITEN
I am really not up for classes.Especially with the results I got today.I've been studying but maybe I didn't study hard enough.Maybe I read all the wrong things.Maybe I got confused.Who knows.
I'm really tired and sleepy now.
Got up earlier than usual for class today.Started the day off by helping Shu catch Kecik.He crossed the road and almost got hit by a car.My mum was wondering why Shu was running across the road.Should have known better.That little orange furball has knowledge of the world across the road now!It wouldn't be so worrying if he's actually careful when crossing roads.The thing is,he's not.He is completely oblivious!And cars on that road would speed like crazy.
Anywho,Shu ended up not going to class coz it turns out that he hasn't got any.Except for that lab session he missed this morning coz he couldn't get up on time.He had trouble sleeping last night.He called me up on my cellphone while I was asleep at about 1am.Gave him a wake up call at 6:45am and he was already up.Apparently,Kecik woke him up at 6:30am-ish coz he wanted to go out.Thinking that he sounded wide awake,I went back to sleep and got up at 8am.There were no messages on my cellphone.I assumed Shu fell asleep.He did.He just got out from the shower when I went downstairs to iron some stuff.
Had breakfast with my folks for a bit and then Shu,Ash and I left for campus.It's pretty cool to be early for classes again.I've been trying to get out from the whole mess with the finance unit.I don't ever wanna have to go through that shit ever again!
Didn't miss any classes today!Sugoi ne?!
Hung around with Shu and helped him clean up his place while waiting for nightfall<---kikikiki (laughing like Kururu) The play began at 8:15pm-ish but since it was raining......well,with the lightning and all,we decided to stay in till the weather subsided.Had dinner at UP10 and then Shu escorted me home till the KJ lrt station,then we went our seperate ways *sob sob*
Funny news I got from mum when I got home.Kamal had been admitted to the hospital near my house.He didn't tell anyone.Not even Aunty Intan coz he said he didn't want to worry his mum :/ He actually went through a surgery!No wonder he didn't reply my text messages yesterday.Well,until he recovers,there won't be any basking or jamming sessions for RadioEdit.
