Hey hey... so i was doing my work while going to my friends' blogs for music. I went there for music but ended up reading so much. The most recent one i reach, is C's. Yikes, how many Cs are there? It's getting confusing... so she was saying that her mom brought her shopping and let her have anything she wanted. And after the shopping spree she picture Blogged all the goodies she bought and concluded the post saying that she's gonna study hard to be able to spend like that in the future. Hmm... that sounds like one good way to motivate youths to study! Why don't the government sponsor us each a day of shopping like that? So we'd all be motivated to study?

Hey hey.
I'm sitting in the Monash comp lab listening to the song in D's blog... malunya, people doing work here and my comp is blasting out songs... And yea, i AM supposed to be doing my work here too, Business Stats ass 3. The last ass(ignment) for this semester before the finals and my 5 week long holiday! I plan to plan a lot of things for that holiday, who's free to join me? 10th June onwards.
So, now for the present. I'm happy! I'm happy although at this very moment my boyfriend is at a formal event-Victoria University Night and didn't ask me to go and i'm in this stupid comp lab alone waiting for him. I'm happy because i'm not sad. Haha, sounds stupid but that's what i mean. I'm proud of myself. Proud that i don't feel insecure. Also proud that I'm am currently skipping an Ex-Ausmats gathering without much guilt. Love them and all but can't go. Gotta attend to my ass.
Oh, and i'm also happy that i got much praise! Hehehe. Exactly a week ago, E tied his hair up in a funny ponytail, he looked funny and i laughed in his face, haha. I suggested he tied it up another way and i offered to help. So that night we tried it out. Sort of like pleated but not? U know, the way blacks tie their hair up? Dun really know what it's called... he showed it to his parents and they had a good time laughing. But their response wasn't bad. We decided that he'd wear his hair that way to the VU Night.
Then this morning, i spent about an hour pulling his hair... into the style. Personally i was satisfied with my work of art but i seek approval. E said it's ugly. =( I threaten to stop half way, hahaha. Then he sent me to college. It was a little odd. With his jair like that. Normally we sit in the foyer on the ground floor where hundreds of students walk by. Today he was shy and went up to the first floor to hide? Haha. Eventually our friends saw his hair. K had no comment. R asked who did it for him and she was amazed that it was me!! =) W said "cool hairstyle" but E thinks he's sarcastic. C now knows why he kept his hair long. Haha
A friend, another D says he looks better than normal. And Y, D's friend noticed E's hair from afar!!! =) Y saw and came towards us asking "What happen to your hair?". E said "This girl did it to my hair" pointing at me, i was drinking water at that time. Y was smiling and he liked E's hair! He even asked me how much i would charge to do his hair for him!!!! Wow, good boost to my ego!!
And then E and i went downstairs to hang out with a few friends. People were looking at him!! =) Two more friends gave E positive comments!! =)
Later, E and i met up with another two friends, P and another C. They were shocked! P wanted me to do his hair for him too! And said he'd pay me ten bucks! Haha. C, on the other hand... said E looked "damn gay"! Noooooo, shit! He told us that we should have used black rubber bands instead of blue and white. Nevermind, constructive critism. And besides ,C wanted me to tie his hair for him too!!!! =)
E then accompanied me to dinner at the medan (food court) and i tell u, heads turn!!! People were turning to look at him! =) At the table i proceeded to change the blue rubber bands to black-i don’t want my boyfriend looking gay, and while i was doing his hair, a lady came up to us and said "so cute" in Mandarin! Not that ican understand Mandarin, she said the 'so' in Chinese and 'cute' in English. She talked to us a bit. She asked if i had experience!!!
On the way out of the medan, the guy selling burger looked at E's hair as we passed by... u can see him staring! I really wonder what are the comments E would receieve from his VU mates. Any more job offers for me? Hehe
Life seems really peachy for this girl who likes pink, u might say. But think again. Two days ago i got into a minor accident. Don't worry, i'm fine... but my baby isn't! Haha, don't panic, my baby is my car, i don't have any children.
I was driving to college on Wednesday. If u remembered, Wednesdays are supposed to be a day off for me. But i had to be so damn hardworking, i had to just go for extra classes... So the road had many humps and since one lane was closed for construction the road was crowded, slow moving traffic. The car in front of me stopped. I slammed on the brakes in time but the car behind didn't manage to. He rammed into me!
I didn't know what happened, I felt the impact and i saw my stuff flying--my little pony toy fell, my tissue box too and my sunglasses, the smart tag, everything flew! I was so shocked i must have let go of the clutch (yea, i drive manual, it's fuel efficient) and my car engine died! It took me second to realize "oh my God, did i just get into an accident?"
The first thing i did was restart my engine, turn on my hazard lights and when in view, i committed the other car's number onto temporary memory. Thankfully he stopped too and we negotiated.
He tried squirming away! He said "your car is damaged and so is mine, so we repair on our own" in BM (Malay Language). And i said, "yea ok."
NOT! I may be innocent-looking and i may like pink but how stupid can i be? I was shaking and i desperately needed to calm down but i could think straight and replied "no, you knocked me from behind, you should pay" in BM as well, with a few English words. He kept silent.
I called my father's office but he was out to get lunch. He doesnt have a cellular phone. I told my father's... err.... secretary what happen and then hung up.
The guy then tried to get away again. He saw my P for Probation and asked if i was a new driver. I said yes. And he said that if i were to report the accident, my lisence would be taken away or something along the lines of that! I was furious! What the hell is that? "You yang langgar saya dari belakang, it's not my fault, jagan menakutkan saya, i know my rights" i fired back. Yea, my BM is shit, but i got the message across.
It went on like that for a while. During which, i glanced at his road tax, to make ensure the authenticity of his number plate. Thank god i did that, cuz i forgot to get his ic number. I did get his name and number though. He's a Malay guy, middle age, bald, wearing home clothes, sunglasses and no slippers/shoes?
In the end we settled on negotiating further the next day cuz he seemed decent. Another way to get away? Police reports must be made within 24 hours... I told my father everything on the phone and gave my father his number. My father tried calling him all afternoon but his line wasn't available. Scary! So my father called up the insurance company and then told me it's best to make a report. Before i made the report, i sent the guy a text message, informing him that i'm going to make a report.
When i was making the report the guy called up. I asked him to talk to my mom. He told her that his father was critically ill and was admitted to the hospital near the accident scene and that he stayed up all night... till his phone was out of battery... it kind of explains how he could be so blur and drive into my baby but is this another way to get out of compensating me? Doesn't matter whether his story is real or not, i already typed out the report and my case was already assigned to a police officer when he called.
I feel slightly sorry for the guy, given he's not lying, but there's nothing i could do, he did try getting away one too many times, besides, i've made the report, can't just withdraw it like that.
The police officer was nice, said that i'm lucky it's not my fault... and then they took pix of my car in this car park full of damaged cars. All the other cars were worse than mine. My whole bumper was dented slightly and there was an ugly black line across it, the door of the boot was scratched and there was an imprint of the other car's manufacturer's logo on it! You could see the European Citroen upward pointing arrows on my local Kancil! The boot can't be opened.
But the other cars there were far worse, they needed towing, while i could still drive to college and back... Doesn't matter how bad the damage is, the guy's paying for it! And i don't even have the hassle of sending my car to the service shop, the insurance person did that for me while i was in college receiving praise on E's hair today.
I don't feel any more stress over the accident. It's over and it's good that our insurance people are taking care of my baby. Proper repairs and not minimal ones would be given to it, i can just sit here, relating the whole incidence to u.
By the way, i was wearing the shirt i wore when i was involved in a previous accident. Unlucky? My parents and E told me to never wear it again, what do u think?

I'm writing cuz one of my close friend, J asked E if he knew why i haven't been blogging. Nice to know i've been missed =) And it's also nice to know another J reads my blog. =) Thanks!!
Yea, and it's pretty obvious that i don't write names in my blog, just the first initial of their names. It's my system, talked about it in one of my earliest post. And it's really surprising how many people had to point out the fact that there is a 'first real name ever mentioned' in my last post. Just slipped, i was typing really fast there, didn't bother to edit it, was under the influence of cough medicine, desperately wanted my bed.
By the way, it has been corrected. Hehe, doesn't matter if u know or don't know who i'm talking about, that's what makes it fun. Like, the next story i'm going to tell.
Don't count on me slipping again, at least not now, i'm not saying who this story concerns, not even initials.
Haha, so this happen to someone really close to me. So, he was doing God-knows-what with his girlfriend in his car in this somewhat secluded spot. And then another car drove nearby and parked. They didn't really bother much about that car, assuming that the owner lives around there and hoped that the owner would just carry on about his or her business.
Instead the driver of the other car came towards them!
Haha, his girlfriend was sitting on him and she hurriedly went off his lap and back onto the passenger seat. As the 'intruder' approached, he wound down the window to hear what the intruder has to say.
I think they did the right thing, u know, taking responsibility and not fleeing. Because what happens next is something we can all laugh about. Haha
So the guy said to them "Can u all park [the car] the other way around? So the smoke would blow there and not here"-he points to a row of houses, probably his house. And then left them!
Just like that, no lectures about how stupid youths can be, no threats, no police reports!
Haha. Aren't they lucky?

Whoa, when did i last blog?
So many things to write about :
i) The happy new couple
ii) Erm... err... my assignments but guess that'd bore u... no no, trust me i can make it interesting. Whatever, u can just skip it.
iii) My health and how stubborn i am
iv) Not so important other small stuff that crosses my mind
i) The happy new couple
If u were in Ausmat in 2004, this is most likely old news to u. So, so, it was really the unexpected: they are of different races and friends for over a year. Then suddenly, on Wednesday morning i see them holding hands at our table. Ooookay, ignore, it's A and it's C, two fun-loving types. Go about as usual... then i saw A put his arm around C.
Okay, cannot, be ignored any further. But i didn't want to sound too... you know. And don't wanna be wrong, so i thought of a way to ask. So C once told me that she pretended to be part of a couple to avoid this guy who had a crush on her, so i asked "C*****, is the guy around?" and i looked around. I've seen the guy before but it's not like i could recognize him, but... u know.
She said no. And i said, "Then?????" and she was all "Hehehehehe" and then i said "I'm waiting......." And our friend R was "Am i missing something?????"
And then i said again "I'm waiting.......", cuz i was waiting to hear it from them, officially. But C was still all "Hehehehehe" and then A said "You also want? Come here"-pointing to the seat next to him, as if i want his arm around me. Typical, just ignore and smile some more at C. =)
That's how i found out. Later on in class, E smsed me, saying that they are together, official. And i couldn't concentrate in class! I was too was shocked/happy for them/shocked. And i wanted to hear the story from C!!! The minute my tutor walked outta class i practically ran out and called C.
Just knowing they are together made me really happy, i practically forgot about all my stress and assignments. I even put off eating to question C. Hahaha.
ii) My assignments
I've been skipping class a lot lately cuz of them. No, skipping class is not the word, hopping class is more like it. I'd miss a class but i replace it on another day.
Hehe. But to be truthful, i couldn't make it for class on the other day as well, so i DID skip class. Management was fine. At the expense of me being an hour late for business stats.
The story begins with economics. I'm too over confident, hate myself for it. I keep having this mentality that i can finish it no time and that there's always tomorrrow. So, there i was rushing like bloody hell to finish today before it's 5pm dateline.
I did finish it with not much time to spare. Finished it but couldn't print it! There was something wrong with my printer! And i just bought new a ink cartridge yesterday!
So, i had to rush to college to use the printers there. It's not like in school when u kind of automatically get a dateline extension if u had a problem with your printer. man i miss those days.
So, i changed and drove. I pushed my baby Kancil to the maximum... actually 120kmp is not the maximum but it felt like it. For most of the way i drove at an average speed of over a hundred, sometimes 110. My little little car was shaking and it felt as if it was going to fly.
Upon reaching, i ran into the college, not sure if i even locked my car, which i parked sloppily. I took the shortest route i could think of to the computer lab. There has always been a shortage of computers in Monash, so getting one is always difficult.
First computer i used, the person next to me said it wasn't working. The second couldn't read my thumb drive. And the third computer, i had to beg for! I didn't know a girl had already logged in and she said "excuse me i'm using it"... and i implored "can i just print something please??? My dateline is at 5pm", itwas 4.40 by then.
Thankfully she was really nice. Really really nice, i'm really thankful. I didn't get her name cuz that would be too odd, but i did thank her many times.
iii) My health. Okay, yea, my cough. Real bad. Got E really worried. And yea, my chest hurts from coughing. But no, i'm stubborn, not gonna do much abt it. Aka not gonna see a doctor.
But i did go to the doctor yesterday. But not for me. I drove my brother there. He swallowed a big eggshell and thought it was life-threatening. The doc just told him to drink lotsa water and pass it out naturally and charged him 20 bucks for that.
My parents were out and they had no cellular phones with them, long stoty, so i had to sit there with my brother waiting for his turn. While doing so i realized that that was the third time i was with someone at the clinic... The first time i drove E there cuz he had a bad case of food poisoning. The second, i sent W there cuz she had an anxiety attack...
iv) Small things that crosses my mind... no time to write them, although u know i'd love to.

I’m breaking down. Assignment’s due on Friday, haven’t started writing, haven’t even finished reading my research material.
The past two days (Sunday and Monday) was spent with family in the forest reserve Taman Negara deep deep in Pahang. From KL we drove to somewhere and took a 3 hour ‘sampan’ all the way up a river just to get to our resort. The boat ride seemed like forever. And it was as hot as hell sitting there, the shade was pretty useless against the scorching Malaysian sun in the afternoon. The trip there was okay, just really bug-infested and really cramped, my mom wanted to save money so 6 of us had to cramp into a tiny room with only one double bed.
That's what i wrote this morning, didn't bother finishing it because i had no internet connection then.
Anyway in short, i'm sick--cough, flu and headaches, my computer got struck by lightning--so i have to use my brother's, and like i've mentioned too many times i have assignments...
And under that stress, the stupid Sunway Monash Condo hostel people, Mr S had to call me and ask for my darn keys. Yup, it's May, that means i've moved out of the hotel. I moved out exactly on the 30th of April, Saturday. I rushed like bloody hell to get outta there before 1.00pm so i could return the stupid set of keys before the office closes and guess what? They closed early. 10 minutes or so early.
C told me it's okay and she'd give the keys for me on Tuesday(today). She went there in the morning before 9 since she had classes but they were closed. So they called me up asking me where my keys are! As if it's MY fault they haven't gotten the keys back yet. And they said they'd wanted to charge me for two damn days. Charge ME??? They close the office early and they want to charge ME???
Isn't that against the law???? Or are they just threatening me?? But at the moment of the call, i couldn't think straight; i just panicked and burst into tears on the spot. I called C, told her to pass the keys to E to give it to them. I called my father, saying sorry he had to pay extra in tears, he was nice about it, but i felt terrible and it wasn't my fault. Then i called E, he was returning the stupid pieces of... metal.
Then i called the office, telling the hostel manager (don't u hate managers?) that my friend is returning the keys. And the hostel card. Dunno what the hell is he doing but he seems to still be threatening me... asking me if i want to pay and telling me about the stupid computer systems that would automatically charge my father half a month's rent. Embarrassed but i have to admit i was hysterical by then, sobbing and talking in hight-pichted choked up voice. I protested that i moved out on Saturday itself and that my housemates saw me...
In the end i wasn't charged for anything. But i certainly DO NOT need that extra trauma.
