Hey hey hey,
Haven't been blogging in a while and u can guess why. I've had limited access to the internet since i slept at the hostel 3 nights last week.

The week went by quickly, wasn't horrible but wasn't great either. C and i became the nerds we vowed to be. Monash U life, yea, it ain't easy.

Classes in week 2 of studying isn't much fun, i almost fell asleep in Management lecture... and i also did some crazy stuff... was just plain bored. Management tutorial wasn't half as fun as it was last week too. Business stats was okay... a friend at the lecture, N said she saw me in the Monash Orientation night, she praised me! She said "Good sport"!!! =) For the fact that i played the stupid game. Econs is fine... i guess it's my favourite subject now... at the moment... i hope it won't start hating me. Accounting... not great, the tutorial made me realize that we were to do a lot of work on our own.

Really stressful. I miss tuition in secondary where the summarise and make a story out of the text book and spoon feed u. Now i have 2 read the darn text books on my own. I don't JUST have to read it, i have 2 carry the thing to class... not light i tell u.

But well... at least i have my darling there at Sunway in the past week. He definitely wasn't happy about starting Uni so early. Trust me, he wasn't. At least he has me? Haha, no la, i guess i'm not so important when he needs the help of those who are in Victoria University. I would really like to thank them for helping him out.

Also i'd really like to thank J, who made a comment about my blog in E's blog. I might add a tagged thing... we'll see how it goes... for the time being, please use the comments section ok? U can leave any amount of crap there, i don't mind.

Oh oh! And i had a few problems this week. The fan i brought to hostel... it's not working, no explaination why, it was working when i turned it on at night. But i woke up sweating in the morning, the fan decided to stop working for no reason. I had 2 bring it home. Which wasn't easy carrying the darn thing.

See, my father is unwilling to buy a parking lot in the condo hostel, so i had to sneak in. Which was fine for the first 4 days. Until the guard noticed my car there without a sticker. Had to move it to the college parking lot. So i had 2 carry the fan to college!

And i lost my library card. Along with the resit for the 15th Febuary photoshoot. And a couple of movie tickets. I was really worried about it, searching high and low, asking everyone about it... Thankfully i found it a few hours ago.

I also had to do this interview with a manager thing and it was stressing me out. Thankfully i called my neighbour n she told me her father was once a manager. Done, i'm going over 2 her house tomorrow.

Another annoying problem is that i can't enter this WebCT site... need 2 get in to get some reading material for my management class. Man, the subject Managing People and Organisations is annoying. I'll have to visit the IT help desk yet again

At least i've got a great study buddy, C. It's fun studying with her every night i sleep in the hostel. We would read some, chat a bit, read some more, look for food... =) U get the picture. We didn't go for any night walks in the past week and we didn't sit on any grass. Haha, but it does make me feel very satisfied after we studied.

And my roommate and i... we're okay, we talk and we laugh. Oh and her mom mops our floor! Haha... other ppl like C and her roommate, they have 2 sweep the floor. HAHAHA, sorry, just had to gloat. =)

Hey... So my baby car is alright now... thanks to someone i now owe a short testimonial to.

And the orientation party or whatever it's called for us Monash students was great! Food wasn't too delicious but performances were entertaining. The games they had were funny... yours sincerely here was called up 2 play the darn games cuz she and her friends were sitting near the stage, it was embarassing but funny la. Luckily i wasn't alone.

Then they open the dance floor... we didnt stay inside for long, soon our ex-Ausmat group were out in the playground... just chatting and playing... =) After that we went for some mamak

Today... wasn't good la. Had to read the unit outline for my business statistics... and it's horrible la... it's picking on me! They expect us to do so much stuff by the end of this week... and yeah, i haven't done it.

So... i'd better go.

Hey Bloggie,
I've got sooo much to say but i'll have to cut it short. Since i've got lots of stuff to do, like print my stupid notes for lecture, and read up... and there's this Monash orientation party i'm going to tonight. So lazy.

So, on Thursday morning i went to the mamak with my darling for breakfast before classes. And there was another couple who were there. He pointed out that the couple was there everyday. Mindlessly I said so are we. Since we went there on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we were there on Thursday. Then he said that we wouldn't be there together anymore next week cuz i'd be staying at the hostel. I felt like crying when he said that. I didn't dare look at him, i just stared at my food and ate.

But the rest of the day was great, my tutorials were great. Business Statistics was ok. It didn’t seem like 2 hours. The Microeconomics teacher was funny. He gave talks funny and he gave funny examples. He said that students make spelling errors like instead of saying 'the demand curve SHIFTS to the right', students write the demand curve SHITS to the right'!!!! =)

The Management tutorial was soooo much fun too, the teacher used horoscopes as an icebreaker and got the whole class talking to each other. A group of us ex-ausmats saw a guy wearing a gay-ish flowery shirt earlier in the cafeteria and we... noticed and we... talked. The guy happen 2 be in my class and even the teacher noticed his shirt! Haha, and when he was asked to tell everyone about himself, the first thing he said was "i'm straight" and he said it a few times!

Then i had dinner with a few ex-Ausmats... and then my darling, E and a close girl friend C came to my room in the hostel to chat. When E went home, C went to take a shower, she stays in the hostel as well, she's on the 22nd floor and i'm on the 19th. Then C came over to my again to chat! =) She wanted some ice-cream so we went down to the convenient store, bought the ice-cream and went to eat by the pool. I just LOVE the atmosphere there, it was wonderful, the place was dimly lit but it felt totally safe. There were students everywhere, just chatting with one another or on the phone or out for a walk. There was also some club meeting going on by the pool. It was also windy there... very refreshing compared to our stuffy rooms. Around an hour later we went to C's room to chat some more. =) And we wished a friend happy birthday via sms.

Oh oh... and my roommate! I can get along with her, easy to talk to her and she's nice. Oh and she reads magazines too... so i could bring mine, hehehe, or borrow hers. And my housemates! They're cool. They turn the radio on LOUD... earlier on at the night and in the morning la. And they watch tv till late! Haha, it's also easy talking to them!

Everything was great and i was sooo happy that night. Friday started off great too. I got up and went for a swim in the pool... and then went to the computer lab to get some of my notes printed... lunch with ex-ausmates again... wow, i've been seeing them a lot! Haha. And then i went for my Management lecture. Met another ex-ausmat there! Hehe... sat with her. She bought the text book for RM60 and it's in good condition. I longed to get one too, i hoped to get it for a good price like she did. And guess what! At the end of the lecture. a senior came in with the book and announced that it was for sale. It looked really nice and new. Immediately my hand shot up to get his attention and i think i screamed "i want it!". He said "RM50" and i couldn't believe my luck... i couldn't control my happiness, i was smiling and i practically shouted "I'll take it!!" I asked the guy a bit about the book and he said it belonged to a girl who took the subject last year. She withdrew from the course halfway and asked him to sell the book. Looks like my book is practically first hand!!!!!

I had planned to sleep there on Friday night as well but an old-school friend who is in Monash as well invited me to her birthday party, so i decided to go home la. So i went to my car and upon reaching my car, someone from the condo threw a cigarette near my car from the above floors of the condo! Mean but forgivable. I tried to unlock my car... but i couldn't... i tried a few times and didn't notice that some one spat on my car! Also from above, C saw it! That was so mean! Right in front of us!

I still couldnt unclock my car... so i used the key... and the alarm did not go off... i went into my car, and realized that the lamp inside was on. Damn, instantly i knew what happened... my car's battery is dead. My car is dead! Thank God C was with me there and E was nearby. I called my father on the phone and he told me to buy the jump-start wires. E offered to go buy it while C and i stayed with my car. My car was annoying... the alarm sounded a few times every now and then and i couldn’t turn it off unless i put the key in. We HAD to leave the key in, we were afraid the idiot upstairs would get annoyed and throw a brick down.

C was really nice, she cheered me up, we chatted like normal. And we happen to think alike: i pointed to the grass on the right and was about to say "can we sit on the grass" and before i could say anything she pointed to the left and said "let's sit on the grass"!!!!!! It was sooo funny! And that's what we did while waiting for E to get back.

E got back without the wires... no shops had them. So i called my father and he said he's come at 9.30pm after work. C went to meet her friends so E and i had dinner at the Condo Hostel Cafe, waiting for my father. At 9.31, my father called... and he said it as such a coincidence that his car had problems too! He barely managed to drive to my uncle's place in Bangar.

My father told me he was also lucky that he was on the way to Sunway when his car started making weird noises... on the way to Sunway, he could cut into Bangar and leave his car in my uncle's place.

So at the moment my car is still dead... there in the hostel. E is going to help me fix it later.
Right now i kinda regret wanting to stay in the hostel again. But if u really look at it... there's a trend. One minute i'm happy and excited, the next i'm sad and regretting my decision. I guess E's right, there ARE pros and cons and they come together. Whether i like it or not.

Hey, i just realized that i admitted that i'm not the sociable kind. Well, i'm not. Though i really really wish i was sociable by nature. So, i'm not but it can be acquired... Right?

So for now i'm trying to live by three rules.
1. SmiLe! It's the best icebreaker. And it keeps the smallest friendships waRm
2. Say whatever's on my mind. To make conversation... just don't offend anyone
3. Forgive myself if i ever do anything wrong. Eg. not smile, not say what's on my mind and forget people's name. It's common to forget names, just apologise and ask again.

Forgiving myself is important. Cuz when i forgive myself i feel better. In the past i used to bash myself up mentally, by thinking negatively. It's not good. I was too hard on myself... since, once the negative thoughts are in, i'd feel useless. So nowadays i've learned to forgive myself.

Oh and u know what non-studies reading material i'm bringing to the hostel? It's a self help book entitled Being a Happy Teenager.

Erm... actually i'd rather bring some magazines or my Gossip Girl novel. But... when u've got a hardworking gurl as ur roomie... it affects u. Even after only meeting her once. For like, an hour.

So... it's the only 'acceptable' book i can think of to bring... at least it's not boring. And it'd help me.

Hey Blog... i haven't been updating u recently cuz i've been busy. Classes started on Monday. Monday's classes were great and we got to get our free Monash University t-shirts! I wanted the black one but they only had size 'm'... which was huge, how huge? Even a guy fren said it was too big.

Then without my father's knowledge i switched from apartment hostel to condo hostel. I was happy i managed to do that until i actually had to tell him. It was terrible telling him la, he was like "...ok lor..." and he sounded so stressed out. My tuition fees itself isnt cheap. So far i have not found any other university that charges more than Monash.

Actually it was my father's idea, sending me 2 Monash. I just went along with it cuz i trust my father's judgment, i had the scores to enter and i was way too lazy to look for a university to go to. Besides, Monash is adjoined to Sunway College, so i'm familiar with the area.

But still... it's my education... n i get the pressure to do well... after all, my father wanted me 2 go there because it's prestigious and i'm better off with a degree from Monash. It's still for me

That's the education, i don't NEED a place at the hostel. Yet i'm going there for a short while for the experience. And it isn't a cheap experience. Tomorrow night i'd be sleeping there, definitely can't blog.

Oh oh, good news, my parents miss me already! Haha.

Hahaha... whether they miss me or not i'm gonna try staying there for all weekdays. Cuz i feel guilty about the rental. And my father did say "see whether u can survive"

Yesterday i went to look at the room with a friend, the place is much much better than the apartments and i was happy. But packing.... made me skeptical about moving and surviving yesterday, reluctant to leave home in the end, and this morning i was regretting the decision of moving. Could have cried.

But well.. it wasn't so bad when i got there, i had my darling there 2 help me out, in fact he drove me and my stuff there and put on the bedsheet 4 me, hehehe.

My roomate... she's not too warm... but maybe she's just shy, u know, meeting someone for the first time? It's not like i said more than hie with a smile to the other housemates. Must improve my social skills tomorrow. So, my roomate's mom was there today. And her mom was really friendly... actually all parents would talk to their kid's roommate.

From what i can conclude, the girl's mom is gonna be there everyday! I thought her mom was there yesterday cuz she just moved in. But today i found out that they, i mean she moved in last year! Err... all i can say is i'm sure my roomie does extremely well in her exams

Scary... but good in a way. My mom can't keep an eye on me but the presence of someone ekse's mom around will... err... force me 2 behave and tidy up. Not to mention STUDY
