What a great weekend


Had so much fun this weekend. Yesterday, date with my bf. Watched The Simpsons movie!! Great movie!And today, went to KLCC with my parents (mission:my dad was looking for a couple of pants).
Mission not accomplished as my dad is not a KLCC person, more of Sg.Wang kind of person. Haha. Things in KLCC aren't his taste(no size, colour not nice, no promoter to attend to him,too expensive...men can be so picky sometimes).In the end, he only bought a powder and cologne at M&S.
As for me, I bought a bag at Dorothy Perkins(yeah,another one to add to my massive collection of bags at home). Looks nice at the store,but once I got home, it looks like a ghastly shade of silver. Huhu. The bag is futuristic-style, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like a freakish thing from outer space.
Bought a couple of t-shirts too. Now I know why I never wear half of the clothes in my closet. Because they don't look good on me. And why is that so?? Because I never try it on when I bought them. Today, I tried a couple of times the t-shirts I bought and I'm really satisfied with them. After this, I vow not to be lazy anymore and TRY CLOTHES BEFORE BUYING THEM!! Or else they'll end up being shipped to Johor as a part of my charity work (aka giving them to my cousins).
Besides that, bought some stationeries too. It's only the third week of class and I nearly finish one testpad. If I were to get through this semester, I need hundreds of them! Hahaha.
One more thing, I cut my fringe. The hairdresser was surprised that my hair grew so fast(she'd just cut my hair during the hols), so she cut my hair extra short. At first, I was like, whatever. Now I look kinda weird, with my supershort fringe! But I don't really care though. Long fringes might look good but I don't feel comfortable.
I prefer short fringe.
I can see clearly now the fringe is goneeee!!! (sing this like the Jimmy Cliff song).

TGIF (Thank God It's Friday)

Only one class today. DE, 8am. Imagine having to wake up really early in the morning and first thing you have to face is maths,maths,maths. Boring maths.
One more thing to add to my wish list...the Angelica toy that comes free with McDonalds Happy Meal! I love Rugrats. (^_^)

Bored

A boring day. Only one class in the morning (dynamics) and after that geology group meeting, but postponed to Friday.
Had a brunch with Wani, Safiah, Wani's sister and her friends. Wani's sis asked her friends to guess what race am I, and they were debating about it just now. Hahaha. Wani gave a clue though, "Dia ni mix..."
Went to my room, planned to prepare for DE tutorial tomorrow, but then realized I've forgot all about trigonometric integrals and was too lazy to open the Calculus book.
Then decided to call home, to discuss about me going home this weekend. Mum got irritated when I called, coz she's watching her fav Indonesian sinetron (She has retired, and the show got 200++ episodes, so she's definitely not gonna miss them).
Sad at first,cuz I really wanna go home and no one can fetch me(and they won't let me use the public transport...hmmph!!) Luckily Yasser came to the rescue and said he can send me home.Heehee...

Finally I'm getting involved in activities...

Joined gamelan (a type of Malay traditional music, using percussions). And people always say...those who can't play anything plays the percussion. Is that true?? I guess so. Always do things halfway, all the music lessons that I've taken before, and swimming lesson too! Until now, I still can't swim. =(
Anyway, about gamelan. First practice was last night. We were taught how to read notes (basic ones) and those with a music background has an advantage. I played this instrument, dunno what it's called but looks like keyboard. Parts of the instruments are numbered with 1,2,3,5,6,i...all the other instruments are like that. After hitting a note, you have to hold the plate so it will not vibrate, or else it will create an echo.
After practicing the tempo and stuffs, we progressed to playing the instruments itself, following the music sheets provided. First try and I was amazed by the beautiful sound that came out. Well, not that beautiful. Sometimes the tempo not perfect, and at first I was a bit slow at reading the notes. Huhu. But still, the music I've heard all my life at weddings and events like that, now I'm playing it myself!
And the guy there told me that like guitar, these instruments has to be tuned, by tightening the screws on it.
Practice supposed to be from 8.30pm-9.30pm but we ended up finishing at 11pm. Hehe. My arms ached soo much from playing it nonstop.

Entering third week of class...

Time goes by so slooow these days. It's only the third week of my second year and I still have to wait another 2 and a half years (3 if including this sem) to graduate.
Now I got a longer internet cable, which means I can surf the Internet in the privacy of my own room! Btw, it's no longer a dungeon (but I will still call it dungeon, cool name!). Just now one of my housemates came inside my room and said it's much much cooler than the other room. Well, just my luck that my room is like a cave, shielded from the glaring sunlight. Seriously, sometimes I wake up really late and it's still dark and I thought it's raining or something. Then I went out and urrghh!! The hot sun shining into the living room.
Today was my first surveying lab. In the same group with Wani, Safiah, Kak Syahadah and Nora. Didn't enjoy it that much. Much prefer geology lab. Coz it's indoor and there's aircond and everything.
Have dynamics tutorial at 6pm. Really not in the mood to go, it's cloudy. Huhu. What a day. I don't enjoy surveying, I'm not looking forward to dynamics and DE class makes me worry. What course should I change to next?? Astronomy??Geography?

Good news

I'm so happy. Finally got the Internet settings right for my laptop (without anyone's help.Proudness!). Now I can use Internet anytime I want, not just at home, but at my apartment too! And I can update my blog easily as well.
