Fun fanlistings...

I've been messing around with fanlisting websites...

I tired looking for the animated ones.. only found one animated.. so oh well.. there're all placed at my links of favorites =^_^= Tried checking out petshop of horrors too, but there was only Count D and his little flying pet (i forgot the name... -_-), but i wanted little cannibal goat.. the tet-chan... :D


Yesterday was a truly tiring day... super cleaned the bathroom, and my room... because i needed to make a lot of space for the stuff that i'm going to bring back from college... there's too much junk in the house... that night, we had two regular pizzas and chicken wings from dominos for break fast/dinner... big mistake.. it wasn't enough at all... so we ordered cantonese style yee mee and fried rice from downstairs... only then, did i feel more content... XD


Today, spent the whole day at RSYC... some of the ppl in the youth team didn't turn up, or turned up late.. very very late... I'm so not surprised... It's sad that so many malaysians are never punctual... it's very frustrating to wait for people, and it's just plain inconsiderate...
On the bright side, I met Dominic there (my skipper) who told me that our team won second place overall, in the Platu series... yay! Also met with Uncle Jimmy, but I didn't get to chat with him long... he seems pretty busy... :(
Anyway, before heading back home, we dropped by in Shah Alam's PKNS, where mom wanted to shop for raya stuff and dinner... The chicken she bought was as tough as tough can be... it was so hard to even chew on... oh well... *makes mental note never to buy chicken from a certain stall in PKNS...*

Layout change..

again.. hahaha... anyway, i love this one much much better than the last... also the new one for my photo blog too...

=3

Last night... spent the night wrestling with the internet connection.. my notebook was in my mom's room, because i decided to sleep in her room tonight... (where my fan is)... but the connection was so bad... finally i took my notebook back to my room, and the connection was much much better... i'm not sure if the distance between my notebook and the router played a big role in the internet connection tho... *unsure*

It was a bit cramped sleeping in my mom's room last night.. I don't know if I'll do the same tonight... oh well...

Hari Raya is less than one week away... yet i haven't bought any new clothes, stuff... and all... :( plus I'll be going to singapore too... if only i can get rid of a certainly annoying acne on my nose...

No fan... no Act III...

For two nights I've been sleeping without my fan... I've switched to using my fan ever since my air conditioner started leaking very badly... so when i came back two days ago from college, i notice my table fam missing from my room... my mom and bro took it and kept it in their room :p seems that their air conditioner started leaking very badly too... so it was no fan/aircon for me.. two nights so far... at least, i could still fall asleep...

Lucky thing I got the fan from my dad before his house got broken into... lost almost every electronic thing in the house... except for the TV, although the remote for that TV was gone... but now that fan is used not by me... :p *wants my fan back!* woke up today with a sore neck... :(


I've been playing Champions of Norrath with tetrino... but sadly, as we enter the Pit of Ill Omen (Act III), the game just stopped... *cries*


And I'm not sure wether to stick to this new layout, or find one without frames.. oh well... time will tell ;)

One last test... done.

The final test before the examinations has just been done this morning... I went back to college on Sunday, to keep Zura company, escape from chores, and hopefully do a little studying... well... kinda...

I just didn't want to go back on Monday, because I know I will linger as long as I can at home, and therefore not getting much time to study, since all my notes are in college...

Anyhow, I ended up studying only the night before the test (Monday night at 10 PM), and I was done by 2 AM :D

At least, I think I did okay for the test...

well, on Sunday, my roommate (Zura) and I decided to treat ourselves to a dinner at Casablanca Steak House... we entered the restaurant at about 6.35 PM, and ordered... (break fast at 7 PM) Under the appetizers, i spotted the Cantonese Style Ginger Beef Kuey Teow... one of my favorite dishes... seeing as it is listed under appetizer, i expected it to be quick, and not much... on top of that, I ordered an Chicken Escalope.. whatever that is... while Zura had Chicken Maryland... There were only about four tables occupied in the restaurant besides us...

SADLY...
Our main dishes arrived around 7.20 PM... that's at least 20 minutes after break fast time... and my appetizer is nowhere to be seen, till 7.40 PM... ODD... Well, at least I finish my main dish, but as I was halfway eating my *appetizer*, I noticed that it wasn't properly cooked, somewhat half cooked... A piece of meat even had too much pepper or seasoning on it, that it seeped into all my taste buds, and i had to grab my drink... Even the bill itself took another at least 20 minutes ro arrive!!

FUNNILY...
My roommate and I were wearing two different shirts with very identical colors... after the meal, we headed to the supermart, and even the cashier noticed that our shirts bore the same colors...

*pictures at Still Snaps... somehow blogger doesn't want to allow me to put pics on this post*

Yesterday was another fun day... i spent the whole morning playing games, when i should be studying... but you know... ;) anyhow, most of my other classmates have come back to the college for the night, and to sit for tomorrow's test... at 5 PM, we headed to one of the Ramadan Bazaars located in section 13... I met my coach who was selling burgers and such there... :-D we went there in two cars, five in each, and for the first time, I WASN'T THE ONE DOING THE DRIVING... muahahaha... i even took pics while being in the back seat... we bought tons of food... i bought some nasi lemak (something like flavoured rice with some veggies, egg, cockles and such), three pieces of honey chicken wings, ikan bakar (something like BBQ-ed fish, but literally translated as burnt fish) and a packet of soya milk for myself... YUMMY!!!

We all break fast and ate together ant one of the gazebos located in the college... yeesh... all this food talk is making me hungry... and i'm still fasting as i'm writing this post... anyhow, it's only about one more week left into the fasting month, and then i'll be facing the final examinations, which is possibly my last, before i start my internship and graduate...

Travels

Sigh... I'm really looking forward to study abroad... I'm so wanting to travel, and meet my friends... After celebrating Hari Raya this year at my dad's hometown, we're planning to go down to Singapore too... Hoping to mee ironik there :-D She said she's gonna take me for some meals, and maybe tour singapore.. hehehe... we'll see how that goes :-D

Wanted to meet slacker too, but he's too shy, so I guess I'll wait then... hahaha...

Will be heading back to college today... Can't wait till the final test is over... this semester's subjects are really giving me headaches...

*I just can't wait to leave~~!*

And I'm also getting tired of this blog template... so if u see any nice ones, pls send me the word...
anime/manga-fruits basket/petshop of horrors/rurouni kenshin
others-maybe lotr/archiecomics... i dunno.. anything... *likes pastel & abstract too* :D

Finally~!

The last week of lectures for this semester is almost over... Only one test to sit for during next week's study break, and then I'll be facing four papers in the finals... starting on the 16th of Oct till the 24th... oh.. and hari raya aidilfitri is coming real soon... right after the study break! *yay* time to earn some duit raya... of course, not to forget the prayers, well wishes, and of course, the asking for forgiveness...

So before I start babbling, I'd like to ask for forgiveness from all my family members, friends, lecturers, acquaintances, people who i barely know yet the know me better, and most importantly, to the Al-Mighty...

Okay, so I've been eager to blog since Tuesday... Tuesday was nothing special, besides the part where I went to McD's drive thru with two of my roommates, Zura and Iman... but the value of our take-away amounted to RM65... and that was due to the fact that there were about 8 ppl's worth of food being ordered... basically, i was given a list from my classmates, who wanted me to buy back some food for them :) i didn't think it was THAT much, but my roommates and I were pretty amused, when the person behind the counter, who was bagging all our goodies, suddenly exclaimed, Banyaknyer!!! (So much!!!)

*tried to upload the McD's pic here, but failed...* so peek into my other blog, to roughly see how much stuff i bought that day...

Wednesday was another normal day... expect that it was our last lecture (possibly forever) with Sir Azmir... unless of course, we come back to study in UiTM after our practical training... so after class, we took a picture with him XD *pokes Still Snaps again*

Then today, I skipped my first lecture, to keep my mind calm for my Introduction to Actuarial Maths' test... I spent the whole morning, (test was at 10.30 AM) trying to understand the nonforfeiture value, and how to calculate the minimum cash value of that nonforfeiture option... i hope i did ok...

Next was a visit to the Klang Hospital, to visit Aida, who's baby is due any second... the info i had earlier, was that visiting hours was from 4 PM - 7.30 PM... So I left college at 3.30 PM with Fhad, and arrived just nicely at 4 PM.. only to be stopped by a few guards, guarding the entrance to the lifts and rooms, and be told that visiting hours starts at 4.30 PM... *shucks* so we spent the time, reading a couple of archiecomics that i brought along xD

When we finally got up to the maternity floor... we waited for Aida's hubby to come, because she's still held in the Labour room, so our only means of communication was through the window... hahaha.. at least, it was all good :)

So now.. I'm back at home... sorting out the big batch of pics i just took... and thinking how much to upload...

The annoying stuff continues this morning...

woke up late.

went to myuu's pc... glad that the SPSS Evaluation edition is there, waiting for me to install it...

so i installed the program... got my printer from my room, attached it to myuu's pc, and plugged in my thumb drive...

my thumb drive didn't appear on the network again... and this time, it's neither in the My Computers folder, nor the My Network Places folder...

after searching, plugging and unplugging, myuu finally told me to disconnect the current D: drive, which is one of his many archives... and instantly my thumb drive appeared in its position...

next is to open up the SPSS output from my thumb drive using the Evaluation version of SPSS on myuu's computer...

when openning the print preview, only two (out of about nine pages) showed up... i couldn't figure out what's wrong... played around with a lot of options and stuff on the printer options, settings, page setup.. whatever... still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the output... maybe it's the software itself... *shrugs*

so i just tried printing the output anyway... but as i click the "Print" button, bang! an error messages pop up, stating "Unspecified Error" *grrrrr*

it didn't even work, when i exported the output into a text document... only the titles appeared.. nothing else... the main reason my team didn't copy and paste the images, outputs and graphs, was mainly due to the fact that the image would turn out funny, hard to edit, and doesn't fit in the page at all...

i had no choice but to bring my printer to college...
as i was packing up, myuu IM-ed me saying that he's coming home, because it's my fault that I made him stay awake last night, downloading the SPSS software, and making him too tired to work.. i don't know.. *shrugs & sighs*

oh course, there are already people poking me at the fact that i didn't follow through my plans to stay in college from sunday till thursday... i knew that that was coming to me... and how naturally quick i am into heading to the residential college's public computers... yech *gives up*

My plans always change...

I planned...

to stay in college from Sunday - Thursday

to service my car on Monday (today)

to complete and post three resumes and post them today...

to head back to college tonight...

What happened today...

I woke up anf studied for my test... after that, i headed home, to print my resumes and more copies of the answer form and practical training guidelines... i was also supposed to print my Applied Statistics assignment... I left my computer in college on purpose... At home, (around 3 pm, since my test finished at 2 pm), I plugged in my thumb drive, and printer from my room to my brother's computer (myuu), which I'm using right now... but the thumb drive didn't appear in My Computers...

After about 20 minutes of searching, rebooting and such, I finally found it under the computer's network folder... so i started printing... then i realized that this computer doesn't have the SPSS software needed to print out the appendices of my assignment... so i printed out what i can...

Then comes the pasting of pictures, and writing down the address on the envelopes... dad was already waiting to take me to the car workshop to service my car... the printer was already unplugged and kept in my room... then i realized, i ran out of copies of my own resume... so it's back to scurrying around the house, plugging back the printer and stuff... only at 4.20 PM was I ready and got all my stuff together... so i picked dad up and we headed to the workshop... it was already 5.15 PM when we're done...

Next was a stop at the bank, where dad had to deposit a cheque... i was contemplating what to do... as i planned to go back to college after servicing my car... but i also realized, that i left my thumb drive at home... and i still need to post the letters, after buying some stamps first... most of the post offices are closed already, but i knew some opened till night... but in order to drive back to college, i must arrived before the day is dark, for my eye sight worsens at night... So i thought that I'd pass my letters to my dad, for him to go to midvalley, buy the stamps needed there and post straightaway, but there's still that possibility that the post office there changed their working hours due to the fasting month... and if that happens, i've to post them myself the next morning, for dad is heading back to JB as i type this entry...

After much contemplation, and a call to my roommate, who was using my PC to do her assignment, i finally decide to spend the night at home, and break fast with my dad and tetrino... alas, the post office did close early during the fasting month.. which means i have to post them first thing tomorrow morning... (if only i had kept a stash of stamps)

Since I'm at home right now, I'm waiting for myuu to come back, and hopefully get him to download the SPSS trial, so that I can print my assignment output... *hopes he's not grumpy tonight*

=^_^=

Sunday morning

nothing much has happened... going back to college soon

having loads and loads of fun with my pic blog...
and my camera too...

missed sahur this morning... now stick with a headache... *serves me right*

oh well... i hope i can get some nice food in college... *hopefully*

Say ch33s3!

Thursday was a busy day... went to pick up my 512mb memory stick in Giant, and posted two resumes off... one to PNB, the other to Watson Wyatt... sadly, the person we addressed the resume to, in Watson Wyatt have been relocated... oh dear... i've no idea what will be of our resumes...

Anyhow, I'm starting to feel lazy again to apply to more places...

The test for QMT337 didn't seem so bad... but I've no idea how the finals will be like... therefore, i'm hunting for past exam papers online.. hopefully i can get an idea on how the finals for that course will be like... and other courses as well...

This morning, for sahur we had half-boiled eggs XD yummy! *pic in Still Snaps*
of course, we used a kettle to boil the eggs... we don't have a kitchen in college :-p


I had loads of fun with my camera, now with a bigger memory stick, I can take loads of pics, and about 22 minutes worth of video... i played with my camera so much, that my battery ran out... hahahaha.. it's the first time that it did...

MUET

No... I didn't take MUET... I just want to wish all my friends who're sitting for MUET all the best and good luck :-)
Because of them, I don't have any lectures today... tee hee hee...

Yesterday, I went to Plaza Damas to hand in my resume to SBB Mutual Bhd... It turns out that I'm handing my resume to my own senior... lol... being someone who's not familiar with the seniors in my course, i didn't recognize him at all... only halfway through the interview i realized that this is the famous senior of ours, whose profile is posted on the faculty board... so this is the abg mahadi all my classmates have been talking about, ever since his profile was published... *pokes a few friends* no wonder he knew sooo much about my lecturers, and others who don't teach my batch...

The bad thing was, it was my first trip to Plaza Damas, although I've been in Hartamas Shopping Centre before... i parked at block A... and had to find block F... plus the place itself looks like a maze...

I've been pretty much sitting at the notebook the whole day, scouring pictures, and insurance companies... I don't think I'll be applying Takaful Nasional afterall... they haven't replied to my e-mail, although it has been fowarded to the person in charge... at least, i think i've got a spot from my earlier interview... my cgpa pwnz! LOL

Now I'm gonna check Prudential and PNB

shopping splurge XD

I'm starting to enjoy doing Actuarial Maths...! YAY!

After Actuarial Maths class today, I went shopping with Nads at Giant, Section 13...

First stop: ATM machine... xD

then we headed to the Giant Hypermart to get some necessities... I spent about RM15 there...

Next stop: Computer shop...

paid RM84 just for a black ink cartridge!!!! :K:K:K I know it's way up the average price, but I need it urgently... :(

And then, we headed to the camera shop...

finally ordered a 512MB memory stick for my camera...

=^_^=

later i had Applied Statistics in the computer lab... started computing the stuff for my group's assignment... now i have to get back on correcting my resume...

Spaghetti...

yumm... i had spaghetti for break fast today :-D

which means i'm gonna have it for sahur tomorrow morning... :-D

4 days of fasting so far... all's well :)

finally finished doing the translation for the letter, and my resume... still being proof-read though... :p

no training this weekend... and finally not many commitments.. so that's why i could finally do those things.. now time to apply for a place to do my internship...

Ramadan...

I've been fasting for three days already... So far so good... Except that on the third day (today), I didn't eat before fasting... So I got a headache the whole day... Plus I had to sit for a quiz... Now I've broke fast about 1 hr ago, and i still have a headache.. plus an upset tummy... I guess i ate to fast...

I've been having lots of fun with my new digicam... So I've been bombarding my picture blog with more shots that i took.. :D

Maybe I'll upload more of myself, once I've scanned some photos that my classmates took :)

Eye-ing the cake.... 

It's a brand~ new~ month...

It's going to be the fasting month soon... and I need to gain weight...

Over the weekend, I was at a sailing regatta at Batu Laut... got 8th place for the sponsor race, but I didn't fare well during the individual races at all... Sailing the radial sail, which is bigger than the 4.7 sail that I'm used to compete in, is definitely a lot more challenging... especially when i couldn't handle the 4.7 sail very well in strong winds... frankly, i want to gain weight, but i'm feeling kinda pessimistic about it, and i'm at my wits end... The picture shows the boat I compete with, except the fact that it's a one-man boat, meaning that I've no passengers :p (I took that picture, while Aida was sailing my boat with Zurina as her passenger)

On Saturday, 1st of October, I managed to rush from the sailing center, after retiring from the last race to UiTM for a pre-graduation dinner... It was tiring and scary, due to the fact that my dad had a short burst of road rage, till he argued with a lorry driver... I arrived exactly at 8 PM, to find that NONE of my friends have arrived yet... until 30 minutes later :P:P:P
Saiful and Hamid attended the wedding too, fully clad in the malay traditional clothes (Baju Melayu)... they look soooo smart! :D i looooooove men in baju melayu XD
Pictures on another blog (soon to be created)
Besides that, I was also awarded the Acedemic Excellence Award for Diploma students... man... when i first entered the hall and sat at my table (alone, of course), i thought that the hall didn't look so big as it was the last time i was there... but when i went up to collect my award, (our table was right at the end), i felt like the walk took me ages... :P

Anyway, I'm gonna look for food right now.. I'm hungry XD
