Fire Drill
I am always good in giving not-so-good prediction. For instance, if my friend is going back to home town, I will ask them to call a taxi instead of walking out as it might rain on the she goes back. (we can only reach at the mini bus bus station after 20-25minutes of walking. It will be slower if she has lots luggages with her.) Evidently, I was right on my jokes every times.
Since then, my room mate and her friend asked me to shut my mouth the day before they go back home, or they will have to spend a lot on taxi!
Last night, I suddenly raised the matter of fire drill to my room mate. As this is only the fifth week of new semester, we never expect that it will be held last night!
My room mate was a bit unconsious when the alarm started to ring. She some more asked me to off the light before go out.(What the? Will you off the light in emergency?) She was completely awoke when the officer came and knocked on our door.
We laughed all the way down from our room to the gathering spot as my mouth, once again, made things happen..
Luckily there were no reporter from Berita Kampus last night, or we would be reported as "Penghuni yang tidak berprihatin dan berotak"..
Anyway, it's funnier when this uncle announced that most of us are going to be "Roasted Chicken Wings" as the building only clear after 8 minutes ( should be cleared within 3 minutes). Actually, the building was cleared within 3 minutes in the first year. We were the first penghuni and we thought it was a real emergency. We know their stupid tactis the next year and the time we managed to clear the building increases yearly.
sweetest memory..
I have been in Penang for three years.. I remembered, we have only two students (includes me), who came from Sarawak, in the class of pure biological sciences. Since she is Iban, she mixed well with those Malay girls. But I was left, alone.
The image that I've built among the course mates was, " A girl who likes to wear skirt.." Since they didn't know my name, they would refer me as the girl who wears skirt everyday, even the seniors did the same!
We were divided into different majors based on our academic performance in the second year. Then only I got to know them, my "buddies" in USM.
Woon Teng, who was my partner for every laboratory work (when the lab was done in pairs.) She is a perfectionist. She does her work properly and never give up until she get the best result. She spends an hour 10 to 15 minutes every morning to tidy up her bed. At the end, the mattress will look like being ironed!
Meng Seong (right) and Yee Son, both are coming from Ipoh. Meng Seong is a bright girl who likes Doraemon very much. Yee Son goes back home every week to meet up with her boy friend. Thus we put her in a club called PBSM - Pelajar Balik Setiap Minggu. See what were they doing? They were having their dinner in the lab!
Genyi (on the right) and Kopi are Biotech students. I only met them in second year as Microb and Biotech students were taking the same subjects in the second year. Genyi is a girl who doesn't like scary movie and ghost story. Genyi and I were left behind while the rest were going to a exhibition of " natural creature" and spirits at Penang Pesta. Kopi is good in handling computer's problem. She has a lot of computer games, but she likes Nancy Drew the most.
Wui Chen is another member of PBSM. She seldom with us, not even on my birthday, as her male "best friend's" birthday is on the same day. She is good in denying her secret relationship with the boy, but her unstoppable smile betrays her.
Lastly, my room mate. She is from the school of chemical sciences. The first day we moved in to the same room, she left me alone at the hostel without telling me where she had been? But then, she came back with a pack of delicious Ayam Mas Chicken rice and munched "politely" in front of me. She has the habit of Finger Licking Good. No matter what she eat, she likes to lick her fingers. She likes to hang out with my friend. But she only hangs out with her male coursemates..(muahaha...) She is quite a patient person but not towards her boy friend (pity Vincent..)
We will graduate soon...Friends, no matter where you go and what you do, my blessing is always with you!
Meeting with an old friend
Was down to KL to meet katak who had been 'drinking ah mo water' (went overseas) for the past one and a half year. kinda expect him to grow fatter but he was still able to maintain his build quite nicely, ha. Get to meet his ex-housemate, Kiant Teck who really can't keep quiet for even a minute. He is really a very nice guy, imaging travelling from cyber jaya just to take katak here and there around kl, he even nearly wanted to send me back to Seremban at night as well! His father must be an oil tycoon...
We also met up with Siew Hui who is working in KL now. Get to stay in Shih Ming's place for a night in Taman Melati. That poor guy, dunno how is he going to study for his exam in two weeks time as after katak go back to bintulu this Tuesday, Jih Leong will come and ask him to go borrow money from uncle Lim (Genting). After that, Katak will disturb him for another few days next week before he finally flies back to UK.

Nice graduation outfit
These pics are 'stolen' from some of my friends from friendster. Was too boring and decided to browse through my friends photo and update myself on the latest gossip. Guest what i found? They are the pharmacy batch that enter IMU the same time as I did, and they already graduated while i still got another year with another professional exam! Damn sien....
But anyway, after seeing their picture, i decided that i will never let my children (especially a boy) go into a scottish uni...
If i was among them, i'll rather change sex and wear like a girl, man, nobody can force me to wear a kilt, especially during my graduation! Since they have to wear the traditional scottish costume, will IMU force us to wear like a traditional malay man with during our graduation? OMG, i almost forgot, Malay's sampeng also somehow resemble the kilt! While the scotts may have a dirk, we will be equipped with a keris!
Anyway, congratulations to them and hope they suceed in their future career!
from left, Melissa, Su Keat, Alvin and two other that i dunno
fellow ass, come, we all wear this during our graduation and bring a keris and fight like Hang Tuah!
A trip down Malacca
On the end of last year, Su Lin & me were able to make a trip together down to this historic city of our nation, Malacca. Call it our little vacation and as we had no extra money to spare, we decided to have a one day trip, emm, actually a half-day trip.
we left Seremban at 11.30am on a bus (RM5 something per trip per person) and reached Malacca bus terminal at around 1pm. From there, you can take the town bus to Makhota (RM0.80 per trip per person) where you'll reach the Christ Church.
notice a glass room at the right beside the fridge? that's the room with a machine to turn the rice into rice balls! i wonder whether it can do the same with our waste products, imagine a shit ball!
We had the infamous chicken rice balls for lunch. Nothing special actually, it's just chicken rice made into balls, dunno why it's so hyped up as a must eat in Malacca. Heck, the chicken rice balls are not even as big as my balls, ha! It is also not cheap, ten rice balls cost you RM6, plus the chicken for two is RM7, it totals up to RM13! which is double the price you eat in normal chicken rice stall. Maybe I'm not in the right place, we ate it in Famosa Chicken rice ball sdn. bhd beside Renaissance Hotel. If anybody of you have a better place, pls introduce to me to prove me wrong on malacca chicken rice balls.
Then we headed to Christ church. Later we lepak around Jonker street, it's really special though, they have a lot of Malacca delicacies (chendol, pineapple biscuits, etc) and antique shops here. Well, it's really true about Malacca chendol, it's the best i ever eaten in my life! We had it in this shop called Jonker dessert (88). When you ordered the shaved ice, you'll see the tauke pouring generously the thick gula malacca and creamy santan that you just can't wait to have a bite of it! It's really really nice, a bite of it make you feel like in bloody heaven.
this is the baba chendol (RM1.80). note the thick gula malacca and creamy santan....it's definately a must try when you are in malacca
this is mangoe ice kacang (RM2.70). they use real mangoe slices!! i repeat, real mangoe slices!! wa, i'm so going to go back there again to grab a bowl of this
After trying the chendol malacca, we headed to the Saint Paul hill to visit the ruin of Saint Paul church and the A'famosa (which has a very tongue twisting portoguse name that I forgot). More photos here
That's all, it's a very sweet afternoon and having thought that, this is the first time two of us went to somewhere that none of us are familiar with...so it's our first travel together, wow! We actually wanted to try the satay chellup, but unfortunately it's only open in late evening and the last bus back to Seremban is at 7.30pm so we didn't dare to take the risk, well, maybe next time. I'll sure come back for another bowl of the wonderful chendol!
