when the reds marched in

Finally got the pictures from dear Nabby!

But before I let you see them, I just have to say that I am glad everything is over now. Yesterday was a really long day and I managed to pull through. We did our final (really, our last one for this sem) presentation this morning and I am so proud of Tasha and Nad for doing such great jobs up there. All I have to do now is complete our report, hand it in and voila! No more distractions!

Anyway, here are the pictures from the 16th September event. There were way too many pictures, so I chose the ones that made me laugh. Also, the ones of me wearing cheong sam, cos my mum wants to see them! Our theme was Chinese. So yeah, be prepared for lots of red!

Making faces cos we're too school for cool

Simba! Before his haircut...

Mai's descendants! (sort of)

Watching the slipper-throwing competition

And tongues all around!

Daryl being the "silent killer" behind Reyna.

I can't stop laughing at how funny his expression was!

Going with the wind!

And at night, we had to perform and act on stage. We were so many things but let the pictures speak for themselves.

Priceless expressions!

Phen, Shevani and I wearing cheong sams!

Mai looked so adorable!

Reyna and Tasha practicing "tai chi"

Aiman, my brother from another mother.

Teehee, Byan. Goodbye, now!

wait, no, what?

Waddup... (Hahahaha did I really just say that?)

It's that time of the month for me. Today's my first day. I went out to PCM and my uterus has been killing me all day long. Sucks that I can't drink cold stuff cos the strawberry milkshake was so tempting! Amir had one...with black pearls! Argagagagaaa.

My body is just one big mess right now and I'm not sure what it wants. Like just now, when we were walking back to our dorms...

Reyna: Let's have dinner together later. But I'm not that hungry. Are you hungry?

Me: I'm not sure. My uterus is confusing me.

Reyna: Haha! Did you hear that, Hani? Her uterus is confusing her.

But yeah, it really is. I wasn't sure if I was hungry since the cramp was overpowering everything else in my body. I just ate noodle and had hot tea a while ago, though. So my stomach won't get upset and start secreting gastric juices to seek revenge.

Ah, why can't we all just get along?

I had a really good day, though. No PMS, surprisingly. I was actually a very happy cow these past few days. I get excited over little things. We were at the campus field this evening. Jia Le and Jason flew their kite. Reyna wanted in. Hani and I just laid on grass. I pretended to paint the cloudy sky. And when it got a bit darker, I pretended to cast spells and struck lightning. Hahaha! T'was fun!

Too bad my phone was dying, I couldn't take pictures. But here's a picture of Reyna, Hani and I during lunch.

Took a picture of Aiman and Amir right after this one was taken, but their picture wasn't saved. Too bad, so sad :(

But here's Aiman, advertising my headband.

You won't see this on lame Facebook!

I love these people oh so much. Can't find them elsewhere! Oh my golly gosh! My mum just sent me an MMS and it's a picture of a little brown kitten on her lap.

She just told me that it's ours. Holy kabooki, mother of all goats, somebody please send me home right this second! I'm literally screaming in my room right now!

Oh, it's a kucing kutip! A stray kitty that kept running to my mum and sis when they were at the supermarket! I hope they keep it. There would be more creatures for me to come home to. Haha! And it looks a lot like our last kitten, Kiki. But Kiki was a sad case, she died a sudden death when she was still that little. So, if we're keeping this kitty, mummy better bring it for check-up. At least my Fifa has a friend at home (but this kitty is gonna be Fifa's toy for the first few months. Haha!)

Oh, I'm so excited I can't even suggest names for it! Can't wait to go home now! Two weeks better go by quick!

and everybody gets their way

We had our block dinner tonight, along with the boys of Block B. I hate not having a camera. I only managed to take pictures with my phone. Even so, these were the only ones I took cos I was too lazy, having to put up the settings every time.

I had to crop Jia Le out of this picture cos she hated it.

Here we go! Finally, a decent picture with the girl.

Angela, my sister from another mister.

Who is also, my polygamist husband's last wife! (so he says)

Back in my room! So exhausted, I looked high.

And yeah, the picture is blurry. You're not high, don't worry!

I was on Facebook a while ago and saw my mum's post on my wall. I didn't understand it at first, but then I read it over and over again. Oh God, was mummy trying to comment on my last status??

Haha! My sweet sweet mother xD

Oh yes, I'm still waiting on sweet Nabby to send me the pictures of the 16th September event. Our little Chinese affair. Ha! Will be posting those pictures once I get them.

Till then!

Love you all and God bless!

flying cats

Classes are over!

Well, we've got two presentations next week but that's about it. I slept for four hours yesterday, in the afternoon, right after our last class ended. That was a really good one. I was so disoriented, I woke up wondering what year it was. We didn't go to the field, like we promised we would. Haha!

What am I really looking forward to? Well, right now, I'd really love to fly my kite! Mack was so sweet to go out and buy me a kite a few days ago cos I was upset about Mr Tummy's death and all I wanted was to fly a kite but didn't know where to get one. And if I did get one for myself, it probably wouldn't look as cool as this!

I laid next to it, and it's about my body size!

The kite festival just started in Bintulu. I can't wait to go!

Oh heavens, I just found Mama drinking rain water in front of the bathroom. Took her in to give her proper water and now she's meowing for attention. Sometimes she bites and scratches, sometimes she wants you to hold her. What a funny Siamese cat!

Look at her, all cross-eyed!

Ever since the death of Tummy, we've only got two cats in our room. Mama and Eh-Eleh. The two blue-eyed cats. They don't get along but that's great. I know now how to discipline the naughty and fearless Eh-Eleh now. Haven't seen Abang cos he has been chasing female cats lately.

Well, I should stop talking about my kite and campus cats now. Pretty sure you're all sick of reading about this. Ha! But you're in MY blog now so who cares what you think. Bahahaha!

Alright, I should get on with my outside-internet life. God bless everyone!

the cold side

What's it gonna take for you to stop?

Need I scream?

Why don't you get the picture?

I'm here to make my biggest dream come true.

No where in that dream did boys ever interfere.

So God help me, I will start screaming out my thoughts if you won't give up.

a falling out we won't tiptoe about

A series of unexpected things happened this week. I felt like a psychopath. One second, I'm happy and the next, I'm weeping, next second I'm laughing, and then I'm wailing. Going insaaaaane!

Let's start off with the sad case of our missing Mr Tummy McBelly. A senior told me that he died on Tuesday. I was so shocked and I wailed and screamed in my room. Walked out the door and wailed again. It was a really sad moment and my mum didn't understand. She texted me saying, "Don't jiwang2 there la pip."

Mummy, you should be grateful I only cry over animals and not boys.

I miss you already, Tummy. You'll always be the best fat cat in the world! :'(

Moving on to more happy things, my English oral presentation is finally done! Our lecturer was so impressed by our presentations that he decided to make an example out of our class. I don't mean to brag, but wow, I'm so proud of my coursemates! Especially the ones who gave it a shot even when their English was poor. You guys did a good job!

Yesterday was Malaysia Day and oh my cow, was it a busy day for us here in UPM! Out of exhaustion, I kept shouting, "It's 16th of September, I'm supposed to have a holiday!" I don't know how you guys did it back in the peninsular side, but here... we sit back and relax.

So many events yesterday though, that I got a slight fever in the afternoon after being exposed to the rain in the morning. Which explains why I didn't go for the motivational talk that everyone said was 'fun'. Haha. Then we had to dress up and perform at night. I was wearing a cheongsam lastnight because our course's theme was Chinese.

"I look so Chinese!"

"You are Chinese!"

"Only a quarter!"

Too bad I don't have pictures on my phone. We had so much fun lastnight, though. Proud of Reyna for going on stage and doing her part of the performance! Our course got third place, over all, even though we weren't really serious about everything. Haha! My favourite part was when we completed our performance and immediately screamed backstage.

Still happy about how it all went down.

(moments before I fell asleep in Reyna's room lastnight)

Forgot how tired I was. Good thing I remembered to wash off the eye make-up. I would've woken up looking like a panda! But pandas are cool, too. They're black, they're white and they're Asian. Hahaha!

That's all for now. God bless everyone and remember to spread love like fire!

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd

Having my own tea time. I miss tea time at home! My tea has no sugar here. Also, I really miss Mr. Tummy! Haven't seen him since I got here two Saturdays ago. Where have you gone, my best fat cat in the world? Come back! I've got lots of food waiting for you.

Well, well, I've only got another week of class left. And then, it'll be study week. And then, the finals. AND THEN, (I feel like that annoying Chinese lady in Dude, Where's My Car) the semester is over! I'll be back in Kuching and driving like a boss. Okay, that was pretty shallow, that isn't really the only reason I can't wait to go back. I just really miss having my mum around to feed me and buying food for me and baby me like she does all her children. I'm good at taking care of myself, but it's pretty tiring being independent. Plus, I hate wondering, "What am I gonna eat today?"

I really miss reading, too. I want to pick up a Neil Gaiman and curl in the corner and imaaaaaagine. It's such a wonderful thing; being in two worlds when you're reading. Also, Neil Gaiman is the best author in the world! (well, to me, at least)

The weather in Bintulu has been pretty crazy lately. It gets really hot and then it rains, and then it stops and then when you're in the middle of nowhere, the rain pours oh so heavily and you have to run! Gah, I really need a new, folding umbrella. The old one was killed by the storm my first month here. My daddy would say, "Cheap no good, good no cheap" if he hears about this. Hahaha!

Mum called me lastnight to tell me about some college offers I've been receiving. MAHSA College offered Forensic Science, with a half scholarship. Tempting, but there is no way I'm leaving UPM. This, right here, is my dream coming true. I'm exactly where I want to be. I'm not gonna throw it away. I'm staying. :)

Oh, the Italian song is playing on my mp3 (yeah, I'm old school). I still can't get the lyrics straight but oh, what beautiful language coming from lips of beautiful people! I feel like laying on grass now.

Too bad the grass is wet out there :(

But oh well, I shall just..umm...sit in Reyna's room and stuff my face with food?

Yeah, that's not such a bad idea. I love visiting that girl! Cause... "Reyna hot!"

I should go now. Love you all and God bless!

Unbelievable! I slept for the longest time this afternoon. I usually just take a 20 minute nap every afternoon but this, I just couldn't resist. You know how the lyrics to Owl City's Fireflies went, "It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep"? Yeah, I know how that feels!

Anyway, I've got so much in my hands right now. I've got three presentations to prepare for next week. The semester is ending soon. And that means, finals is almost here! So yeah, I nearly beat myself up when I woke up after three hours of sleep this afternoon. How could my mind do that to me? It tricks me into thinking there's nothing to wake up to but makes me dream about how screwed I am for my presentations. And my eyes. My eyes just went along with it...

It's been raining quite a lot lately. I've been having flu since I got here. The cough is coming to get me now. I hate it when the two join forces against me. I'm gonna need to get some medicine and be a drug addict now. My poor kidneys!

Oh well, gonna go take a shower now. We're going out and I need to get some groceries (that sentence just made me sound like an old lady at the supermarket). Yay, outside-campus food, here I come!

Probably just gonna settle with fish or chicken tonight...

Ok, it's fish. I've made up my mind!

Goodbye and God bless the world <3
