Sorry

I know that I haven't been blogging lately! *many apologies*

It has been a mind-blowing week.
With the new semester picking up the pace,
our juniors' (P108)'s orientation,
a special some one in my life,
and with almost everyone around my apartment falling sick..

Thus, I would say that my time has been rather preoccupied.
So apologies again,
I shall blog once again; (hopefully in a few days time ;p)

yay~

During this past few days,
my router went bonkers. (or so we thought)
Called so many ppl for help, but none succeeded.
Even bloody TIME (the network provider for my internet connection at IMU),
only helped us set a direct connection using the desktop.
So all the laptops in the house (including mine)
was left without internet connection.

And no matter how much we tried and tried,
the router wasnt able to connect us to the internet = =
It was an extremely torturing 3 days without internet,
and thus,
we concluded that our router needed to be sent for service.
And since it's still under warranty,
we went all the way to LowYat in hopes that our internet woos will be solved.

When we finally found the service center,
guess what the guy told us?

He said,
"there's nothing wrong with ur router"

We were like,
"what????"

Then he said,
" but ur adapter has a minor problem. We can get it changed for u,
and u can come collect it after 4-6 weeks."

We were even shocked...
Therefore,
we went back in vain.

BUT,
miracles happen (at least I would like to think it is).

I tried the router,
reset it using the Wizard. (which was the exact same thing that I have done the past few days)
AND....
amazingly,
we all connected to the internet!!!!!

Whee~~~
I am so happy~~
and partly proud of myself =)
Thank goodness we did not rush out to buy a new router.. lmao~~~

Eye on Malaysia

I am finally done with my foundation pharmacy essay.
In fact, I completed it on Sunday evening. *phew*

Anyways,
I went out on Sat,
to see THE Eye on Malaysia~

Now, why did I bold "the"?
It's basically because I think that Eye On Malaysia..
honestly speaking...
isn't that NICE.

It has been overrated.
After seeing all the pictures my friends took with the ferris wheel.
I though it'd be nice for me to go as well.

And after hearing that it wasn't gonna get teared down,
(The Eye on Malaysia was supposed to be taken down, as it was set up in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2007)
I was soooo delighted~

I went to Titiwangsa,
thinking that it would be SUPER big, enormous~
BUT...
it was a total let-down.
It's bigger than the standard ferris wheels u see in circuses or normal parks,
but not as big as I had imagined.

However, since my friends and i were already there.
We all decided to part with Rm15,
just to board on one of the 42 cabins they had.

Okay, it may look big here~
but when U go to the actual site, it's just another ferris wheel.
My friends and I (who went) actually agree that Genting's Cable car was much worth it.
U only pay Rm5 to for that,
and u get a nice scenery of lush greenery + mist (if it's cold enough)
and u get cool fresh air (not some man-made cooled air...lol)


The view from the cable car isn't exactly bad.
But it's not really a view of KL city. (see how far the twin tower and KL tower is??)

The three girls (plus a photographer) who went~~

Bamboo trees along Tasik Titiwangsa where the Eye on Malaysia is located.

Foundation Pharmacy draft~

I just got back from IMU.
Drove all the way to Bukit Jalil to get back my darn draft.

And guess what?
I think my draft is sooooo BAD,
that my lecturer wrote this on the first page,

"This draft is like a jigsaw puzzle, some pieces missing + the other pieces incorrectly placed.
It's unlikely that the reader will gain good understanding of the topic"

Yea, of course the reader won't understand, it's because I myself do not understand. Lmao~
I knew it, a last minute draft of 3000 words is prone to be a failure.

Oh well, at least I have a cleared picture on what my lecturer really wants for the essay.
So now, I gotta get my brain moving to complete my draft number 2,
since draft 1 is a complete failure. *sigh*

What a way to start off the new year~~~

Genting~

My FIRST post in this new year!!!!!!!

Happy 2008^^
and~

I knew I should have blogged about my new year's eve experience yesterday,
but I guess I procrastinated, as usual,
and not only that,
my brain was on "power-save" mode yesterday. LOL~

I was up in Genting Highlands for countdown with my friends,
Ben, ShenYang, peili, peckling, and soo hui^^

We were supposed to take the 3pm bus up to Genting,
but due to my ignorance (for assuming that I would have transportation readily to the ktm station) we had to take the 3.30pm bus.
Thankfully, we were able to change the tickets, and need not buy the tickets again. ^^

Once in Genting,
we did a couple of things to keep our time occupied.
We went to the game arcade, where I displayed my inability to dance/stomp/ and shoot. *sigh*

The erm.."stomping"
(yes, it's meant for one player, but look at the number of legs.. LOL~)

You know those machines, where they have those sensors to your hand movements?
I only stood there for 5seconds at max, and before I knew it, the words

STAGE FAILED

appeared!!!!! *long long sigh*
It was unbelievable.
IT referring to my "dancing" and also the darn computer for not being more lenient to me!!!!!

Not only that,
we spent hours playing "find the difference".
Imagine 6 ppl hovering over a 15inch screen,
poking the screen whenever they spot a difference between the two given pictures,
Throw in a couple of
"ohhhh"
"what????"
"where's the last difference??"

Get the picture? LOL~
In the end, we had 3 (or was it 4) high scores!!!! *woot*
WE even completed to find all 100 differences in the 20 pictures given!!!

Yea, and not only that~
I did rock climbing!!! Cool huh?? LOL~

Shen Yang(in red) and me(in pink lah~)

Pei Li and I~

And so we killed time till around 10pm,
where we headed to the open area right in front of Genting Hotel,
played a couple of rounds of UNO,
till the crowd packed the area!!

UNO, UNO GAME^^

The next thing that happened, was most likely the highlight of the day!
The fireworks celebration which lasted for 10 whole minutes!!!! *woot*
It was the most spectacular fireworks display that I have ever saw till date!!! Hehe^^

After that,
PeiLi, ShenYang and I went to the casino.
No,
I did not gamble. The minimum amount that I saw was rm50 per game,
and there were even some whose minimum amount is rm100!!!!!!

I only entered because I wanted to see how a casino really is!
Also, to see what kind of games they played,
and how the games operate.
Plus, I am finally of legal age to enter a casino,
so why not make the best of it?

Then, to kill MORE time before the first bus back to KL,
we all watched Alien vs Predator 2.
The movie was okay.
Nothing fancy, but at least it was better than the first movie of AVP.

There after, we headed to McDonalds where they served
- lousy fries, and
- almost-rock-hard-Fillet O Fish!
(and I think that both were caused by the cooling weather up in Genting)

Anyways, the next segment of the trip up in Genting,
is also another highlight,
it is--> the lost of a cellphone.

To cut the long story of the disappearance of a Samsung cellphone short,
let's skip to the ending,
the phone was never found.

The next drama that happened,
was that the first bus from Genting Skyway to KL, was 10.15am,
instead of the 8.30am we had initially thought was our departure time.

However, the fireworks display made up for everything!! hehe^^

P/S:
As we prepared for the countdown,
my friends and I talked about 2006's countdown,
and surprisingly,
we could remember what happened back then.

That was when I realized,
one year...
ONE YEAR flew by just like that
*poof*
and 2007 disappeared!!!!

And now, it's 2008!
Thankfully I posted a lot during the past year,
if not, I would have really lost 2007 to time~~
