timeless trinkets

You know what, I think I’ll move back to blogspot. Getting tired of tumblr and it’s complexity sometimes but well, that doesn’t mean I’ll be posting anything anytime soon. It’s been a fairly long time since my last post and this post will be the last one here, so it’s back to my first love!

Visit me at www.fishdumplingtastesgood.blogspot.com!

So sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time! I guess homework has caught up with me and so has my other “priorities” and “matters of importance” that I have to attend to, so do accept my humble apologies!

Well, we now continue the Collegerama series with some of the stuff I’ve been up to lately.

Unite LifeClub, a new and fresh club that has been founded in SUC by our epic President, Elaine Yong! She’s done an awesome job recruiting members and appointing the few faithful ones as committee members and organizing the activities! Yours truly has been delegated the responsibility of a Vice President for your info. 

that’s us attending one of the committee meetings. Oh well I guess we’ll have plenty of work in store for us in the coming months! Within 2 days we managed to register a total of 125 members on the registration list! A record-breaking feat I must say! Tomorrow’s the welcome party where the members have a chance to meet the committee up close and personal and get to know us all better.

Besides that…we had…

STEAMBOAT BUFFET!

yes indeed we enjoyed ourselves to the max! Likewise we filled our pitiful tummies to the max as well, stuffing as much food as possible into them. There was a particular moment of humour where we had to literally FIGHT for food! The marinated chicken was their specialty there and we had to rush, push and squeeze through a hungry, savage, barbaric and inhuman crowd to get our fair share of chicken! All in all, we had such a good time together that we were so excited to have the next class outing! Go A1!

As usual I always have a new bunch of friends!

Wee Han, a tough and robust guy who has an iPhone! Awesomeness!

Jee An, a VERY VERY LOUD guy who has more words to say than his mouth can handle. Skilled at garnering unwanted attention, he’s indeed a very outspoken and outgoing person! Hails from Ipoh along with SHIN YEE. hehe.

Yu Chen(top) is quite a quiet person in class and rarely I do hear from her, save a squeak or a whisper. But still, a nice person who drove us back and forth to the steamboat buffet venue!

Estherrrrrrrrrr Chinnnnnnnnnn! Another bubbly person with a funny and great personality! Was indeed a pleasure getting to know her.

Suzanne(right) is another quiet person in class! Only got to know her today as she was one of the photographers during dinner time. Strong supporter of DAP!

From left: Janice, Brigitte and Tracy

Janice is from my class but Brigitte and Tracy are from…AUSMAT if I’m not mistaken. Very nice people! Brigitte is THE MOST quiet girl I’ve ever met in my entire life. Literally didn’t hear from her at all!

That’s all for now! Toooodles!

Yes I know, yes it hurts. Sometimes we do things out of happiness, out of sincerity, out of love but sometimes we don’t see reality behind the veil of illusion. The pain we inflict upon others should rightly be doubled and paid back to us in full. Though ignorant, this dart of affliction still hit its target, right at the heart and we’re the one’s who threw it. Unknowingly, the heart bleeds and over time, strengths turn into weakness and love turns to hate, joy turns into grief and friends become enemies. Apologize as we should, and yes indeed should we. No more shall I let slip words from the tongue of the devil. Immense sorrow has clouded my soul, another Psalm 51 need I write. Indeed Lord, blot out my transgressions..

From the bottom of my heart, I offer you my sincere apologies..

Taking advantage of a 4 hour break before double econs is very much a good idea. While SOME people will be suffering in Psychology(henceforth known as Psy) and Law lectures, here am I blogging in the comfort of the air-conditioned Discussion Room, seated on cushioned chairs and “sneezing wall gadgets” puffing aroma goodness every 37.65 seconds. We get pretty bored sometimes when in the library. So bored that people go taking random pictures of random people doing random things.

We were doing homework mind you. However, as soon as I flipped out my lappie and wow-ed them with pictures of Ice Kacang, Satay Celup, Chicken Rice Ball and Tandoori Chicken they started oozing mouth juice all over the pitiful floor. In fact, a proposal was submitted to have a day trip to Melaka JUST FOR THE FOOD! Oh well, soon to come I guess.

Anyway I had the best game of ping pong EVER in the Student Centre about 20 minutes ago.

 ping pong. derp.

A Nigerian guy namely Joshua offered to play a game with me and so be it, we played. He beat me 3 games flat the first game but I bounced back and but lost the 2nd one 11-8, 11-7, 12-14, 8-11, 3-11. Almost ALMOST beat him in straight sets in the 3rd set but he started using his mega swerve serves and destroyed me. Awesomeness! He stays at the Sun-U residence too so I guess I’ll be seeing him more often then.

As always, there’s new friends to be made here!

Shanjutha! Apparently one of my classmates and my groupmate for the Malaysian Studies(henceforth known as MS)…group. Accidentally leaked out her Facebook to me and got quite a shock when she found out I added her.

Meet Liu Congee or GEEGEE according to Karen. A very cool and calm girl from BEIJING! Yes she is one of the few international students that share a class with me. She can breakdance! AWESOME!

This is Ariel. OOPS I mean Aryl. He’s a VERY talkative guy with a powerful voice and possesses a strong grip of the English language. A state debator and a is also in my group for the MS project.

MY COUSIN HAS A BOYFRIEND. WHAT?!

the one on the extreme right. and yes this is her most retarded pic.

I WANT NEWS FROM YOU SOON MY DEAR!

Updating my blog has become much of a challenge for me. Slumping back from class and a long day of chatting and yapping makes proves my level of fatigue has taken its toll on my pitiful body. Housework awaits me as soon as I get home, clothes to wash, room to tidy up and chocolate bars to chow down. Homework then awaits me, research on Capital and consumer goods, prepare accounts and complete a set of maths questions. My oh my, college life really ain’t a bed of roses huh? 

Malaysian Studies class has officially started. To tell the truth, the first two lectures we had was a complete waste of time. I’m worth RM7 every hour here and our dear lecturer now owes me RM28 as of today! He stomped into the class and gave us 10 questions, some of which sounded like “Who is Toushiro Yamawhatshisname?”, “Where was Beethoven born?”, “Who is the author of The Associate?”, “What did Neil Armstrong say when he first stepped onto the moon?” and the list of insanely non-related questions piles on. Pavallam had a really funny answer to the Neil Armstrong one where she said “OMG I’M FLOATING!” haha! Today however, he asked us to write an essay about what you like and dislike about Malaysia and what you would want to see in Malaysia in the future. Naturally I would compliment the delicious delicacies found within the borders of this rich cultural land. But naturally also I would flame and fire off the circus politics our beloved “leaders” are practicing.

Lunch and dinner has been a time everyone looks forward to these days. A bunch of A-levels students would barge into one of the nearby restaurants and quickly occupy a table and storm through the menu while making 200 decibels of unnecessary noise. Btw, did you know Elaine loves drinking soup?

Well well, we too have a bunch of new friends made over the past few days.

Here we have Sally, from MELAKA! *HIGH FIVE* she’s a talkative girl who enjoys…err…talking? Very bubbly and funny at times, she’s a recent addition to the gang.

Teh Shin Yee! A very humble and soft lady, she’s indeed a good companion for those dull times. Stays 2 floors beneath me!

More friends to come and soon, the lecturers themselves too! I will only post when I have the pictures mind ya.

WE NEED A CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER.

Ok I said this post was for the lecturers but forget it, I guess I’ll post bout them when I get to know them better at least. For now, I’ll introduce to ya my dear college mates and classmates of SUC!

First up we have Wong Sue Yinn! A very talkative and pleasant person who enjoys chatting and watching movies. At first I thought she was a Malay girl due to her darker-than-usual complexion but lo and behold she turned out to be a typical Chinese! A really great companion and an awesome friend! She’s studying here on a PETRONAS Scholarship.

Stephenas Teh(left) hails from Taiping and is a very friendly person with a warm personality. A devout Catholic and is good in maths! Likewise, he is studying here on a PETRONAS Scholarship.

Hafizul(left) is a tall and slim guy with a reserved personality and is also a brilliant student. Sue Yinn, Stephenas and him are PETRONAS scholars.

Elaine Yong is a Kuchingite who claims that everyone there has a car and transportation isn’t as obsolete as I thought. A sweet and demure lady with a charming smile! She and Karen stays in the Sun-U Residence.

Pavallam is loud! She’s commands a mighty and fluent English tongue and as I have heard, great at debates. Another PETRONAS scholar and one with a great personality.

Jia Qi is a quiet young lady(for now). I have yet to know her well but I can see she’s done her fair share of travelling.

Yeo Wan Lin somehow showed up here in Sunway. A born-Malaccan like me and hails from my rival school of IJC. A nice person but somehow I don’t see her around often.

Karen Teo is a tall girl with a warm and friendly personality. First got to know her during orientation where she was half-blur and lost, not knowing what to do next on the itinerary. Has woes about going back to her hometown!

Last but not least, we have Eleene Chiu! A very very nice girl who is Sue Yinn’s primary school buddy until now. Met her at Pyramid as we were supposed to go to Ichiban for our books. SUNFLOWER SUNFLOWER :D

For those of you who I missed out or can’t find pictures, I’m so so sorry but I’ll get them up soon yeah?

Next post..I don’t know what to post but I’ll post something.

Blogging in Christine’s house btw hehe.

Yes yes I’m officially back from the long post drought which recently affected my laptop due to some unexpected inconveniences. As most of you would know I have been enrolled into Sunway University College(SUC) since Monday and yes classes have begun and yes I have a lot to catch up with. Especially math. I hate math. 7 months without doing math and jumping into an A-levels class with a rusty mind and a dead calculator spells doom for me.

SUC :D

First of all, I would like to introduce you to my room mates! I do live in a hostel which is located behind the main campus. My apartment unit is a 4-sharing room with 2 twin sharing rooms and a common room for us guys. There’s also 2 toilets and a simple kitchen plus a fridge…which means ice cream! It’s so comforting to to know my block is FILLED WITH GIRLS except the top floor which I coincidentally live in. Going up and down a 100 steps every time you need to refill your bottle with water or leaving your bunch of keys at the bench leaves you dragging your legs up and down like a limping zombie.

Anyhow, let the introduction begin!

This is Jeff. Studying Hotel Management here at SUC and has been here since I don’t know when. Dresses nicely to lectures everyday and sleeps topless. Very neat and tidy person.

Ignore the guy on the left will ya? My second roomie is Jack(yes I do get mixed up from time to time). He’s an avid gamer and works out too. Owns an Xbox at home which he doesn’t bring since it would kill his motivation to study. Has a steel baton, army knife and a set of 10kg dumb bells stored under his bed. He studies Foundation In Arts.

This is Peanut. At least that’s what everyone calls him. His Chinese name is Hua Sen which directly translates as Peanut in English, hence the pun. A replica of Samuel and Shan Li. Spends a lot of time doing his hair and applies enough hairspray everyday enough to season a wok. He and Jack are DotA players! He studies CAT and will pursue his ACCA soon.

No I do not have a girl for my roomie. The guy on the left is Syahmi, or Sam for short. Very friendly and street smart, he gave us the initial rules and tips on surviving in Sunway. Plays browser games and has a mega collection of Anime in his Terabyte external hard drive. Studies Tourism.

This is Augustine, a very quiet and reserved person. Has hidden talent which we have not discovered yet. A newbie in Sunway like I am. He studies MUFY.

Sorry for the dullness but I don’t know how else I can describe them heh.

Next post coming up for the lecturers!
