Just Because...
...of a half-drunken escapade, I've wound up looking like a unicorn. Or flowerhorn. Lol.
Also, I've been 'collecting' people that I meet along the way who are in/going to Sydney. So many people! Yay!
New Year's Eve is coming. Have you decided how to celebrate? I haven't. Too many choices. Somehow I feel like I'll end up at one of the many parties various friends intend to host at Duta Vista. No more silly injuries this time, I pray.

...I've got my confirmation, I'm super excited! I'm living with Yunn at the moment cos I'm too lazy to check into my hostel and then check out again. Will be returning to KL on Xmas eve! Woohoo! Will most likely have to come back again sometime to settle my credit transfers, pay my fees, etc.
Been running around all day today, I'm so tired... Too lazy to go out even. Can't believe this. Been surfing the Internet to find cheap secondhand textbooks I can use there. Wonder if everyone really uses the cheaper outdated versions of the books. Hm...

...I'm too lazy to pack and I can't open the damn packaging to install my Microsoft Office, I've been surfing aimlessly on the Internet. Here's what Rubi's blog got me to do:

Your result for The OkCupid Kissing Test...
The Girlfriend
You are 48% Passionate, 58% Romantic, and 47% Experienced!
Sweet Kisses, Sweet Girl.
So you're The Girlfriend. We call you that not because you're necessarily someone's girlfriend right now, but because you're the ideal girlfriend to smooch when you ARE hooked up. You've got high ratings for both Romance (58%) and Passion (47%). ) and you're experienced enough to be a sensitive and sexy kisser without being SO experienced it turns potential partners off.You can be super-girly, and you appreciate some of the gestures of traditional romance. But you're also more than ready for a deep, steamy makeout session with a hottie you dig. You don't like to play games, and you're generous with both your affection and your lust. You like to get to know your makeout partner over time, and you pride yourself on being able to provide what they need. In short, you're hard-wired for kissing people you care about, and the depth of your experience is going to prove more valuable than breadth in the long run.
The Boyfriend (or, hey, The Girlfriend) and The Real Deal are the best matches to your superb smooching skills. If you just want a great makeout, you might try The Vixen or The Rogue. They're suitable matches on the passion scale, but they're lacking in the kind of romance you crave, so don't say we didn't warn you if they love you and leave you. (They can't help it... they're just sort of like that.How everyone did

Passion

Woman
I have to ask... "Yao mou?" 47% experienced only? Hahaha... And 48% passionate? How can? I'm very passionate ok... Hmph! But I AM girlfriend material lar, can't deny that. Heehee! :) Sigh... This makes me miss having someone I love to kiss...

...it is not their religious holiday, we need to go back to school the day after the Winter Solstice celebration when families get together to mark one month before the Chinese New Year. How are we supposed to have reunions in peace knowing that school begins the next day and most of us have to travel for hours to get to school? Because of that, myself and my friends are celebrating the festival a day earlier so that we can take the next day to do our traveling and settling in before classes commence.
Fine, maybe it is not THAT important a holiday to warrant such complaints although they do get other religious holidays interspersed between. What about x'mas then? Our classes start 3 days before x'mas and the norm is to have a holiday only on x'mas day itself. Every year, students either have to sacrifice celebrating this holiday with their family or take their 'own holiday'. Keep in mind that not everyone can do that as some students have to fly across seas to get home. Why can't they just begin lessons a week later? Wouldn't that be so much easier for everyone else?
Last year, exams were even scheduled on Deepavali. After much furore did they postpone the exams on that day. Maybe they didn't realise it was a religious holiday when they set the dates. Does this show some sort of insensitivity? They had the courtesy to postpone exams on that particular date but did not bother to give an extra day of holiday for students to return to their hometowns. Not enough, I say. No wonder a movement had to be formed to protect their rights.
For Hari Raya this year, we had a whole extra week of holidays for the festivities. Yay! I was genuinely happy. Who doesn't love holidays? Everyone gets more time to spend time with their friends and family, eating kuih raya and collecting duit raya... but shouldn't there be some sort of equality here?

...of political mileage, we see the debate arising again on whether or not to have the teaching of Science and Maths in English. Sigh... Why does this keep happening? Of course teaching it in English is a good idea. How else can we be on par with the rest of the world?
Ok, it's not just about being on par. It's about gaining knowledge, learning, growing. If all available information is mostly in English, shouldn't that be the language we should all master? I mean, I struggled learning Science in Malay back in school. Because of that, I couldn't understand and relate so many things just because everything was translated into Malay terms that just don't make much sense. Just as I started to accept the possibility that I could be intellectually-lacking, I entered Form Six and started learning Science in English. Everything made sense. My Chemistry grade jumped to an A from a pathetic grade last time.
We don't need English just for Maths and Science. We need it to communicate. It pains me to meet people who can't use English for they never really bothered to learn it. How are they gonna enter the workforce? Case in point: A colleague I recently worked with who also had no backbone. Why lar like that? Sigh.

...I've been so damn busy, I haven't had the time to update. Work's a drag, I've fallen sick. An apparent vitamin B deficiency that has got me looking like I've got oral herpes or something. Sigh. I now realise how I've been abusing my body so badly. I googled it and it seems that if I don't cut down on alcohol or take more supplements, this sort of deficiency could be fatal *gasp* Trying to quit my job by this weekend. Can't believe I'll be going back to uni so soon =(
Also, just because something is famous it doesn't necessarily means it's good. I think I've mentioned this before but the latest account involves food, more specifically the roti babi at Yut Kee. Yunn has been giving me all the hype about it for so long and we were supposed to go. Dad saw it featured in the papers the other day and decided to bring us there for a Sunday brunch treat. Turns out that I used to go there as a kid! The place was crowded. We had to queue up for about 15 mins before we were seated. The excitement was immense but when the food came, it died down completely. Everything we ordered was bad except for the hokkien mee. That was really good though =)
On another note, I'm in the midst of booking my flight ticket to Sydney and boy, can I tell you that it's such a headache! Since I'm on such a strict budget my eyes have been poring the computer screen for hours on end each day to TRY to get a cheaper flight. I'm so pissed now cos the flight I wanted is sold out and the other cheap available one is at a weird hour AND it has become SGD2 more expensive for the return ticket when the clock struck midnight about an hour ago! Argh!!! Mau mati. Sigh. Anyone has any cheap flight recommendation or wanna donate to my education fund? It would be greatly appreciated!!! Weee!!! =)))
