14 girls + 1 guy = EL 1 (2008)

Yeah. Like the title said, my tutorial group has 14 girls and 1 guy, and a really really weird one at that. That begins 3 whole years of studying English in Utar.

It isnt exactly what how i imagined it to be but, what the heck, if it gets me what i need then so so be it.

First lecture on monday and i was already yawning half way through. Benjamin Loh, my Intro to Mass Comm lecturer and tutor. Haha, the fella cock eye wan la, he reminds me of the penguin from Batman.















Ohya, watched "Enchanted" and david was laughing his ass off practically through out the whole show. Sigh, what's it with guys and fairy tales man.

Second lecture on tuesday was Phonetics and Phonology by Ms Yoges. Who claimed to have been teaching in France for 10 years. *kau tau*

Third lecture was by Ms Jane Chai on Intro to Linguistics, in which i think i might have taken an interest in. That was on Wednesday.

That was what i went through for the past few days, not to mention a few mishaps here and there.

One of them being, forgetting that my favorite parking place will be used to host a pasar malam every tuesday. So, being the miss forgetful i always am i forgot and parked my car there. Then when class for that day was almost over, my friend sorta reminded me about it. Unfortunately, by the time i got there after class which was at about 6pm, the pasar malam was in full bloom and my car was stuck inside the whole throng.

To cut the whole story short, i had to come back that night after leader's meeting to pick my car. So, lesson learnt, i shall not be repeating that mistake again i hope.

Last night, mum came back from New Zealand. And she said she was tired of looking at all the beautiful scenery of mountains, lakes, fields and sheeps and what nots. Boy, am i glad she's home, i dont think im able to take in any more of those mixed rice from the restaurant near my house every night. It'll be good to have home cooked food again. Thank God for my mum.

So she brought home the usual load of junk food and chocolates enough to last the whole year, if one thinks about it. Rum balls, licorice and chocolate covered coffee beans, and some dark chocolate biscuits, bags of potato chips, all those stuff from the fudge factory (they actually have on there..omg..david would go nuts there, so i was told..hah) and whole load.

Anyway, life goes back to normal.

Thursday = public holiday. Wanted to do something different, so i manage to persuade david to accompany me skating at piramid. I begged and ban-cute ed and bribed and ban-cute ed somemore and bribed somemore ( he's not really into it actually) and finally the poor boy relented. Yay.

Thanks dear. I owe you one.




















Ive always wanted to go skating again, after like dunno how many years. So being back on the ice was..i was ecstatic..yeah..not so with that poor fella, who didnt tie his shoe tight enough, and he was mumbling away through out the first 1 and 1/2 hour before he realized the problem.

Ice skating is goooooodddddddddd

Ice skating is gooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Surprisingly, that hamster got the hang of it in quite a short time. And so he was trying to maintain his record of not falling down in the midst of all the wet ice and clumsy people tripping over themselves around him. Well, too bad, luck wasnt on his side and he did fall..not gracefully or gently mind you..a rather legs-and-arms-flailing-in-the-air kind..hah..

















Anyway, we still got out of the rink in one piece. After another 1 or 2 falls. And yeah, if you're wondering if i fell, i did. And im not afraid to admit it..NYAH! All thanks to this 2 gay-clumsy-stupid malay guys who went round knocking into every person near them. Aiyo, cannot skate then just get out la. They crashed into me from behind and the rest was history.

People like this should be banned from the rink.

I was thinking maybe if i can get better at skating then mum would allow me to get those ice skates used by hockey players, cuz they are just sooooooo cooooooool!! ^^




















See? Dont they just look MAGNIFICIENT?!!!!

Anyway its just one of my silly dreams, hah. Back to reality i gotta sleep early tonight, class starts at 8am tomorrow and if i dont want to be nodding off during the lesson i better get enough rest.




Till then
