Curtin Carnival~

finally posting this, lagging gomen!

After so many days and time the day finally came. The whole day was...painful to sum up from my pov. My idle committees saw to that. At first weee in the morning, they were pumped, we were ready and felt like our roses and drinks won't last till that long....boy were we wrong.

Although we had 150 roses left of the 200 to sell on the day, it wasn't that good, especially since the crowd wasn't all that interested in roses and there weren't many students either since it was week free. By around 4pm, we were worried, and by 5pm, we were desperate, cutting the prices to the original cost. It was a nothing else to lose situation, we just wanted to sell them off!
Sad thing for this carnival (my very first too!) is that I didn't have fun... I didn't even see all the stalls, I didn't get to watch performances I was waiting to see, I sat at the stall and ran around to sell the roses... I simply felt detached at the end. To make it worst, my crews were, disappointing, only...well 1 of them was dependable, the others just sat back or disappeared. I had so much hate that day...

On the bright side.... Yuki was happy, it was her birthday and she received many roses in return for her hard work. Plucking the rose thorns all night is very hard work especially those red roses!!! So ladies, if a guy does it himself and give them to you be SUPER grateful!!! I have learned a lot from this and well, lets just say I would like to be a normal student to see everything next year~
Here I shall put some pics up ^^

Birthday Girl =D


proud handy work


ok~ so I got roses too =) they hang dried and nice smelling now


never would have made it without my mum~ my thanks for your support ^---^

ooh rats!

Woots! I finally watched Death Note 3: L Change the World. Absolutely loved it! L is soo cool and funny!!! Gosh, if anyone walks like that all the time I would whack his back XD and the way he handles kids!! rofl!!! Watch it =D

lol! yay~ I managed to keep to my to-do list so far =D Ticked off down to 1 and a half onwards now haha! My mum is gonna help me paint the roses ^^ yay~
Spent the afternoon staring at Rocky and I can't remember what then went to visit grandma with my mum and aunt. While they had a long talk about the maid I stared off into space and just kept grandma company~

Waited 40mins for tapau-ed dinner at the open mart and you wouldn't believe the size of rats they have there!!! Fat fat fat and as big as a plate! I was soo O__o and chased after them to get some pics!! My mum was disgusted by them and me lol!!! Will upload as soon as I am able =) haha~

mou shiranai

aiks, gomen gomen, such a long time since my last update =-= hmm, lets see, what have I done in this past week...
Classes went by as usual, I have been nodding off in more classes than I want to (sorry Mr. Anba!). Everyone is hyped and tense about assignments and group projects and adding to all those we have to prepare for the Curtin Carnival next week.
My first time having to organise an event and it's a shock to me on how hard and simple some things can be but one thing is for sure...it sucks up my time like there is no tomorrow. So many decisions, so many assumptions and so much hope for all to be well... Thank you my committee members for your hard work! *bows*

[ad break]
If you are from Miri please attend our Curtin Carnival next Saturday on the 30th!~ Accounting Club will be selling fresh healthy lemon drinks and beautiful Roses for charity. Dedicate some to your friends, teachers and admirers! We will thank you for your support =D



[break over]

Ah aside from that, my cousin stayed with me for the past 4 days~ It was nice to bug and play with him ^^ ehehe~

Poor Rocky, he has 3 holes in his leg from some dog fight out there =( Was limping around yesterday, got my mum really worried so I had to carry him in at night when he refused to come in. He is getting better now but still slightly limping, showering him with food goodness and manja-ing whenever I can now~

Had a de-stressing session yesterday with Ham and Pleasure at Boulevard :P Had KCF. Went lime shopping to make drinks coz there is a charity drive (I think) XD lol! It was a fun time after all the (can't believe I am saying this) stress we had to go through. Took a few pics too, pending now =D ekeke~

Made a to-do list for this free week:
1) settle club activities [banner, letters ect]
2) assignments
3) finish off my tutorial homeworks
4) brush up on all units for mid-term
5) have fun in between [swimming with the gang, jogging with Rocky ect]

Yeah, a strange to-do list but that's me =)

shock in...my car porch

had a great afternoon talking shyt and crazy stuff with the gang. All coz May (sister-in-law and standard of CV!) decided to ask, "When will George come out?" So as the nature of the majority of us Crazy Volunteers we twist the meaning a bit XD lol! When George finally finished his class, I started lol-ing and said, "Lookie! Georgie came out May!...and it only took 15 minutes!!" rofl!!! It was really obvious to the gang what we were talking about and it went all the more Hamsap from there!!! XD Kelvin was there and Ian joined in later :P It went on for well over an hour! haha, great afternoon guys =D Plus finally got something to be done for the CC! whuuuzzzah!

I came home in the evening and got a super shocking news from my bro which I absolutely didn't believe until I saw it with my own eyes...Rocky...has been...sheltering a...a kitten!!! :shock: I was totally O__o then =___= as the kitten walked around my porch with a much bigger doggie sniffing her so I carried her out and back to the neighbour's where she should be. Tonight, after my duties in the kitchen I went out to check on Rocky and O___O I found THIS there...





It's like walau eh! No wonder people have been commenting that Rocky lost weight! Totally unexpected from you boy! Letting a kitten eat from your bowl! If only he wasn't camera shy :P He went over to sniff the kitten everytime I touched her, haha jealous fella but runs away when he sees the camera XD And this kitten...well all I can say now is that I believe I will be seeing more of her from now on >>

me, dear Rocky and Furball :P

frustration

Why can't things ever be simpler? I don't see any other clubs leaving the newbies alone to get things done for such a big event. No proper guidelines, simply dumping the duties with YOUR ideas, deadlines rushing up into our faces and yet nothing has been done aside from planning and you want me to "learn"? Learn what? "We will find time" When? "Start promoting the goods" How?

I have more than just responsibility in my life, I choose to live a better, freer life, more full with activities which I actually want and enjoy! I don't mind working, I don't mind being tired out, I don't mind having to spend a lot time...as long as I get to ENJOY and be HAPPY with what I do!!! I do not like to be a whiner, and I hate quiting but if I see it as a way to my personal health (mentally and physically) I will do it so mark my words. I have not promised anything so I am not bound by anything, I am only being fair to myself. No point beating myself over with a gaint stick if no one else appreciates it...

I am depressed, I am full of pent up frustration, I am sick and tired. And assignment due dates are approaching faster than anyone will realise, soon Uni life will just pass by in a blink of an eye and I don't want to only then realise that I have not taken the right steps to satisfy my inner wants for joy and a happier time...

*cough cough*

waaai~ wanted to update my bloggie 2 days ago, such a special date, 8th of 8th of 2008!! Finally went swimming again =D This time with Pleasure, Ian and everyone's fav Koala XD He seriously acted like a true Koala even in the pool! Hugging his float and all rofl!!! Had great fun poking those two :P and kena spun around by Ian XD and pulled back into the pool lol! Can't wait for the next session =D

Watched the Olympics opening till I zzzz on the sofa XD haha. It was an amazing opening, loved the performances, beautifully done, especially the drums! 2008 of them!! Spectacular scene!

Aaah, yesterday, again I wanted to update but guess what? Sarawak had a masive blackout!!! I thought it was bad enough having a whole Miri blackout but turned out Sibu and Kuching had it too!! =O such a shock when I asked my uncle in Kuching bout it!! lol! So we had a true moon lit stroll with Rocky =D The blackout lasted roughly 1hour or so from 8pm+ if I remember correctly..

Woke up today feeling horrible =( my sore throat got worst then there is the flu clogging up my nose D= on a better note~ went to visit my grandma in the morning and got my phone fixed =D

most recent piccy of my dearest grandmama =)

Napped my afternoon away and now feeling better but I can tell the sore throat is just gonna worsen over the days to come, just hope I can recover fast enough!

for the sake of science

Yup, this poor little big froggie is gonna be my bro's biology class sacrifice tomorrow morning. Kesian the fella, sitting there in the basket now...in the bathroom *gribbit*

Owh, got my transcript today and not pleased at all to see the bloody BM there with the status fail, there was no bloody class for crying out loud =@ and I wasn't informed of a thing either so they better remove it else I am gonna burn their ears with my complains!

On a lighter note, it finally rained today much to many people's relief and my mood has been light too~ weekend is just a few hours away and I can't wait to get my sleep back, have fun, swim with Ian and Pleasure, jog with my cousins and research on my ass-ignments [wth right :P]

I shall end the post with everyone's fav cuddly Rocky ^^ and a webcam whoring session with my bro XD [1st time ever folks! rofl~ I hope he never sees this else I am X_X]

to manage...

I need to learn more of...

anger management. been letting the weather do that for me too much and these hot days don't help a bit =-= I mean, I feel like doing what Rocky does to really cool off!



time mangement. I feel like being rushed when there is no need to, always anxious, looking at the time, sweating way too much =--=|| need to calm down and take it easy as it should be...for now...

Edit: scroll down for piccy~

CV! gathering sem2/2008

woot XD It was a great time! I was in the Blue Cheetah team with Kevin (Mr. Do-I-Look-Like-I-Care) and Azee~ The games were exciting and fun =D We had toss the water bottle (wasn't as wet as I thought we would get tho!), remember the info (we cheated...a lot and had our faces drawn...a lot! XD), the dumb messenger, "together as 1 we stand", the I.Q. tic tac toe, and lead the blindfolded =DD Owh and the food was P=
We had a re-election of the CV! ExCo board too, all the best to you all, have fun, live life and look ever forward ^^!
I honestly wanted to try out for a post but didn't think I have the time to.. if only I didn't stay so far, if only I was just a member of the Accounting Club, if only I could take that challenge and if only I didn't get the "cut down on your activities" from my dad... I do hope to be able to challenge myself in the next semester however...

Been a while ne? Well I have finished my 1st week of this 2nd semester =) I love my lecturers and just feel super lucky to have them all =D

Kak Sham, director of the School of Business and H.O.D of the Marketing and Management department, has actually taken time to lecture for our Marketing 100! She is strict but there is a fun side to her and I absolutely love her style! <3

Mr. Ari (Marketing 100 tutor) and Mr. Anba (Acct management lecturer and tutor) are both...in a nutshell, hyper, happy and jokers :P regardless of those, they are really good in their topics so I am not worried to be in their hands XD

Mrs. Alice and Mr. Ariffin (Law Contract lecturer and tutor), for Mrs. Alice it's like meeting an old friend again =P I am very used to her style as she was my Legal Framework 100 lecturer and tutor! Attended Mr. Ariffin's class once and his classes are more on interaction so looking forward to that =D

And ahh, last and not least my Economics 100 lecturer and tutor :P Mr. Ismail (Ismile XD) and Mrs. Poh Yen. I love Mr Ismail's style, no lecture slides, very practical and on the spot teaching style with just the textbook as a guide =D I have done A levels Economics so this is a really big review and refreshment for me (much needed). My tutor was my Management 100 lecturer :P She is not an Economics teacher however due to shortage of staff she has to take the spot. Slightly worried but I am sure it will be fine (me dad is Econs teacher afterall XD)

Onwards to today!!! I had the best time ever hanging out on campus XXDD I finally got to stay back late and participate in the CV! dances like the active members!!! Yeah, I am hyped :P Took me 30 mins of observing and 30 mins more of testing before getting the moves ^^ It was great fun to just fool around with friends =D The previous batch moved really nicely, loved watching em (especially Ian, Ham and Georgie) Silly me danced in socks tho so my big toes are really feeling it now XP haha. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow at the CV! gathering =D

Edit: Owh and I absolutely loved watching the video of the long time senior CV!s [Zackie, Bal, Ian, Roger, Auggie..] dance. Their moves are so flow-y and smooth, really looked like they enjoyed it and are sooo energetic! Hope to learn those moves one day =D
