It just struck me that I'll miss these days.
3.30 in the morning. Slipping down picnic mats. Bread and cheese and sausages. Photoshooting on hilltops. Arguing over the price of satay in kajang.
Uncomplicated hours.
Bananas in fruit baskets. Ants on the picnic mat. Crickets in butter. Dizzying heights and a long way down. Lamb satay at RM1.20.
Don't you see? Life is balance - life will work itself out.

epic clouds. we left at an insane time in the morning and climbed through the forest in pitch black. but wouldn't you know it - nobody managed to catch the sunrise.

broga hill was crowded like a tourist area. as we were sitting by the roadside, this little girl came and walked right by us. we cheered her on. this caption is completely unrelated to the photo.

food! because what is the point of climbing all the way to the top if there is no food to eat up there? jason carried a basket of bananas. fortunately, no gangster monkeys appeared. the rest of us brought up sandwich materials, nachos, drinks and apples.

here's to friends, food, and broga hill! cheers.
4 more days of finals and I'm done! whee
I spent most of last week sleeping in my room then panicking at dinnertime. and having to cover two semesters worth of material by the end of the night. yay. but then I wake up in the morning, take my exam, and come back to my hostel... and continue sleeping. anddd repeat.
so anyway! we're going to penang after finals! then we're coming down to genting! after that we're going to relay for life to volunteer although we paid registration fees and stuff.
don't ask me why volunteers have to pay. I also tak tau.
Relay for Life is this event supporting cancer research, a through-the-night relay involving cancer survivors and everyone supporting the fight against cancer. it's going be amazing - to remember all whom we personally have lost but at the same time look at what a bit of faith and hope can do. people coming together.
(unless it rains and my tent collapses lah)
Do join us at Majlis Sukan Negara, Bukit Jalil on the 29th May @ 4pm.
see you there! =)
post-edit: I didn't even have a tent. We slept on the bleachers.
here comes the sun
doo do doo doo
up there: Beatles song! I tried to learn but have not yet succeeded.
so I really want to blog. this blog is so outdated I have posts from last year pending. boo.
random updates:
I'm excited for the World Cup!
Sushi Zanmai converted me.
I went for a Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra performance!
Finals in less than 2 weeks.

So a C for physics got me a McFlurry and half a page of smilies. Thank you for small comforts.
TDRA wants to give me an Academic Excellence award. The irony.

Here's something I saw in the papers today, an interesting mix of quaint and whimsical and heartbreaking:
because shattered trust is a little like Humpty Dumpty - hard to put back together again.

#4 Then halfway through we decided to detour to istana! Because we are sesat people.
#5 This is a father and his kid. The kid is happily whizzing along on roller blades. The father terpaksa walk carrying his kid's shoes.
Shout-out to Syn Dee, who was volunteering on the day! and who nearly went deaf from rapid, continuous whistle blowing.
Shout-out to my parents, who drove me there, walked together and ended up finishing way earlier.
I loved the Terry Fox Run. Loved the atmosphere, loved that so many people could come together for a cause, loved that we could get up early on a sunday morning to walk together. For cancer research, you all. A great cause. =)
see you 2010!

Random INTEC pictures, in non-choronological order:
A few days later, JPA reps talked to us seriously about the dangers of marriage during study. 'cannot simply get married!' When mentioned to Yew Chong later, he had forgotten that he ever proposed. Then he wondered what happened to the ring.
#8 I think this malay guy in blue is super good looking but none of my female malay classmates seem to agree. (I don't THINK he reads this blog. Haha.)
#9 My classmates seem to like gathering around stuff. This is some of them, gathered around Pn. Siva after Bio. Needless to say, Pn. Siva cannot be seen.
#10 I made Amira a balloon poodle!
(Does anyone know where to buy the can-make-into-shapes balloons? I'm looking for them.)
#11 Steamboat! In our hostel, on Yin Li's birthday. It was good. =)
#12 Avinash and Joo Howe, dueting Apologise on the piano. Joo Howe very pro, no need to look at piano. Joo Howe will also kill me if he ever sees this. =/
#13 Sarah's piano playing is <3.
#14 This is a Daphnia. It is NOT CUTE. Whoever said it was cute was wrong.
Anyway, a Daphnia is a water flea, except it's not really a flea. It comes from UK, and it costs RM50 per Daphnia. We put it in caffeine and count its heartbeats for biology lab. Unfortunately its heart is very special and can stop beating halfway one. Also it will die in the middle of the experiment if you are not careful. Krishant killed 2 of them.
We named our Daphnias and amazingly enough, they mimcked their owners! Jo Ann Daphnia liked coffee, Sarah Daphnia flopped about the cavity slide. Ju Vern Daphnia allowed us to FINALLY collect enough readings to complete the experiment. Whee. We were last out of the lab.
#15 Microscope and lab coats!
#16 Oh that day someone told me about this research that needed DNA samples so I went to donate my DNA with Azim! So my DNA is now floating around somewhere on this sheet of paper, to be PCR-ed and what not. It was for a forensic masters student, who wanted to create something for racial profiling. She asked us to go find Indians for her, because she needed to find more Indian DNA samples. =/
#17 That day I was in the library! Falling asleep over bio! Then this fire alarm started ringing and this man started running around yelling for us to take our handphones and wallets and GET OUT!
so I blurly stood there, looked around, packed my stuff, and wandered to the stairs. Met Ming Ying there, who grumbled 'I was sleeping!' Everybody was running down the stairs - amazing how many people can fit in the library. There was this man videotaping the whole scene beside me. Haha.Then we all had to stand in the rain and watch these pegawai keselamatan do their thing.
This is INTEC. You really don't want to chase people out of the library in INTEC. =/

But halfway through, we stopped and had a class party. We gave him cake! The cake was walnut and delicious! also, really cheap. I was impressed.

Randomly,
Bio lab report on vitamin C supposed to be in the process but I just spent 1 hour procrastinating.
Taylorians beware. Heard there's a case of H1N1 over at Subang campus.
Now I have a mosquito net over my bed. You should so see it. It looks so charming. Haha. Unfortunately I can NEVER find the opening without causing holes to open all over the place.
You know the rumour that you can check your MyKad on your astro decoder? Don't. Even. Try.
