CFC

 It was one of the most unforgettable weekend i had ever spent.
 So, my friends and i went to this camp, the Christian Fellowship Camp. i was introduced to Christianity. And i fall in love with their passion. We sort of being 'cheated' there because we didn't know it was a Christian Fellowship Camp. 
 it was kind of uncomfortable for me because i wasn't one of the believer and i wonder whether the other true believers who attended the camp realized of my/our disguise/s. i'm glad in the way that i've learnt a lot of interesting stuffs about Christianity and it was sort of a true 'cultural shock'. And a lot of supernatural things sort of happened and astounded all of us. Thank God, everything was settled now. 
 i was flummoxed by the ambience an the sight in front of my eyes when they're making their prayers. I've learnt a lot and Mum said that it's okay to learn about the others and i'm confirmed with all my heart an d every ounce of my energy, i'm still with Buddha. 
 They sing a lot and dance around and they make God their bestest friend. That's kind of an interesting fact to me. They sing their heart out to worship their God. it was quite special to learn that. One other thing that i'm truly deeply salute them is that they're all ardent devoters and they are very emotional with God and they really love their God.

Language

 I'd a small talk on Nicholas Sparks with two mixed-Malay girls today and i found out that we do share mutual interest and i could totally improve my English speaking skill to its maximum if i were to befriend them. They're very beautiful, have cool names, speak fluent English and well, i kind of adore them. Then we touched on Twilight,(!) won ton of surfboards from the recent Teen Choice Awards. Surprisingly, they didn't really like Stephenie Meyer's writing and they kind of disapprove of the vampire-smitten love stories as what they claimed it's preposterous. Ouch. It did break my heart, but just a little. Different people tend to have different point of view. They're outspoken. i hope that they're not mocked by the other billions frenzy fans.
 Language. English. I was having my English Assessment last few days on Speaking Skill. Dang. Seriously need to enhance and polish my speaking skill further! i talked like a duck, i startled, i stumbled, and i twitched my tongue to a severe deformity. So, other languages are strictly prohibited since then! Speak English. Practices make perfect. Hopefully, i wasn't so clueless anymore on the next speaking tasks and be fully prepared for my MUET in this coming October, i guess.

Smart!


 Ouch. i did't know that the image quality is so bad. This was taken during Biology Practical Class and at the end of the day, everyone get scolded for not paying attention during the classes (actually, we're just waiting for the results for Chapter 8 Chromatography). i think that my relationship with my classmates have improved slightly. 
 We do wear lab coat during practical lesson for both Biology and Chemistry and we look effin' SMART! We do look alike/resemble those interns who're doing their housemanship in the hospital right?Where's my stethoscope by the way?

Hallelujah

 Hallelujah!
 The much awaited and demanding water supply has finally recovered. Thanks to the media, or rather the one who'd reported to the media about our harsh situation here in which the Water Supply Department sort of taking no proper prominent actions upon the predicament instead just sending tanks over once a day with the filthy and unhygienic water to distribute to us in the mean time that they cut off the water supply to us. It hit the local news!
 It's a relieve to hear the dripping of the water and to have a chilly, soothing and constant flow of water whenever the tap is turned on. Am  i going to start saving water and low down on my water usage? Not for now maybe but i'll try to be moderate. Instead of the lesson that i've learnt last week, that's to not take things for granted and to appreciate and to practice consuming water in moderate when the system is fixed but i have to admit that everything is so bullshit. Let the water flows people.
 
 Concerning the H1N1 pandemic, everything is just rumours. No single student of our college has been infected with the disease yet and many are under quarantined and it does bring about many inconvenience. i'm really thankful that i'd recovered from my cough. i refuse to see the doctor for fear of being directed to be quarantined like the others and couldn't attend classes. Yestreday i wore face mask to lecturers and it's super troublesome. My spectacles just kept on forming a cloud of condensed liquid and it blurred my sight, so i have to breathe decently. i'll try to wear it frequently too if i have the mood to do so...

Update

 Great. Just great. 5 days of insufficient water supply. Insufficient in the case that the water supply only available at interval of hours and it's so freaking frustrating. i have to be fast, furious, aggressive and wise. Storm to the toilet and get my buckets filled and do my business. i don't know who to blame and obviously it's the school administration and i wonder whether there're people keep on going to the office on 5 consecutive days to complain because it's our students' right and i'm to blame myself too because i take no actions upon the problem.
 i'm still having the tormenting cough and it's really killing me. i feel like i could die any minutes, coughing severely like a 90-years-old patient lying on the bed waiting to die with the frail body and mind. The H1N1 pandemic is as serious as usual. The whole college is under quarantined and we're not allowed to go out and it's less likely that the college is going to be closed despite the increasing number of people who'd been suspected to be affected with the virus.
 Enough with the bad news, here comes the good one. i aced my Mathematics Mid-Semester Test. Hooray! i'm not sure whether i scored full marks or not and deep down my heart, i do know that i really want to score a perfect 10 but whatever. It's better than nothing. It's either 8,9 or 10 marks i get for the final examination. It's crucial. 
 So today, after lecturing, Sir Lee Hock Chai, my Mathematics lecturer teacher was showing picture and some details of students on the display screen and we(Jiening and I) thought that it's for the not-so-grand-birthday-celebration for those who born in August. (Jiening was born in July and Sir celebrated her birthday during lecture class with the others. She got a super cute and small birthday cake.) However, when we saw the picture of Jiening, it hit us. The students are all those who'd secured a flashing A for Maths. Dang. Dang. Dang. He put on my super hideous picture(taken during the first day of my arrival at here/hell, and it's just so damn hideous and disgusting). It's not as if i'm pretty or anything but that one was really hideous. i took it after i cried out loud on the first day and so my eyes were swelling and stuff and it's super hideous. i don't know whether to feel happy to see my picture being displayed or to feel embarrassed over the matter. it's a mixed feeling i guess.

 * So need to heal my throat.
 * So going to pray for water.
 * So concern about Biology and Chemistry. i think i screwed both up.

Dang

 Unbelievable. There's no water supply, AGAIN! And my hands are now trembling slightly because i'd lost almost all of the energy available yet still summoning some so that i could complete my post today just in case... 
 i need to go back home so desperately. My sickness hasn't subsided and there're students who have been suspected of succumbing to the shall-not-be-name-pandemic and are quarantined and some are sent home and some are admitted to hospital and some probably still wandering around the college. People are now avoiding having a close contact with me, i think and i'm irritated with myself too because as much as i want to stop coughing and trying to hold back, i just couldn't control it.
 i overheard from the radio that those who have the symptoms of the shall-not-be-name-sickness must take the responsibility to see the doctor as fast as possible because it's selfish to stay ignorant. Dang. Do i need to go to see the doctor too tomorrow morning? What if i am to be quarantined and i can't go to classes and i might get infected. 
 Do need to recover! i'd almost run out of medicine! 

*Lenka was/is in Malaysia!!!
*MTV World Stage to be held soon!!!

Better than fine

 Getting sick during the wrong time, right place.
 Before i inched into the examination room, i was chuckling to myself because the doctor i was about to attend to look quite alike Hugh Laurie a.k.a Dr.Gregory House. i was carefully studying his demeanor. i always like to study people, anthropology used to interest me. He was so gentle, so subtle, so graceful, so slow in movement. Typical doctor, maybe he's figuring what's wrong with me or rather analyzing how severe my condition is.  The ambience turned sombre. He informed us (me and my Mum) that he'd sent two people to the hospital for fear of the infection of the pandemic Influenza A H1N1. Gulped. 
 i was totally fine, just having a normal fever and shall get healthy soon by taking the prescription he's given, hopefully. Still, i could feel the heat of my body radiating intensely as if i could fry an egg on it because it does feel like a hot heating pan and i left all the heat everywhere i go.
 The pandemic was quite serious in Malaysia. Several Malaysian had died and many more are infected (hit thousands, 4 digits, that's A LOT) and the cure is still an unknown. Every single one seriously do need to get a vaccination.
 Sick. it felt like dying. Do go away. i couldn't afford to get sick particularly at time like this. Going back, to the place i least wanted to be. Have to get better than fine.
