HAPPY CNY!!

Had an awesome pre-cny celebration starting from 8pm to 1 sumthing am yesterday..

we started preparing food after we came back from class at 5pm..
Below are the food prepared to fit 8 slim girls' stomach..

*drool*..PRAWNS!!MUSSELLS!!fishballs..crabstick..*yummy*

its been a long long time since we've had seafood..:)))

had 2 different flavour..chicken soup and tomyam..*2 thumbs up*

luckily there were keropok..spring rolls..longan..for us to eat while waiting for the food to be cooked..

OMG..the food was soooo delicious..

and we ate and ate and ATE..while blasting our apartment with the latest chinese new year songs..

at some point..we were too full and had to rest..

so..to kill time..we chatted..played around...sang songs..did some simple aerobics so that we could go for 2nd round,3rd round etc..

of course..we managed to snap some pics again..

syok sendiri pics..

HOIIIIIII ahteng!!!keji betul..the onli one looking at the camera...

*KIAM PAK!!!* summore wanna act innocent..^-^

of course..for chinese new year..we have to take nice-nice solo pics..
nice rite??haha..this is hw we looked most of the time..very 斯文有气质..

BUT SOMETIMES

we'd do funny faces when we gt too excited..

WAHAHAHA!!! come on ppl...pls vote..who do u think has the most potential to become 搞笑美女???

whereas yishan claimed that her facial muscle was too stiff and had to spend a long time stretching and pulling her face before taking the above pic..until sc had to voluntarily help to stretch yishan's face...LOL!!!

last nite was really memorable with the crazy bunch around..

Last but not least..

8 of US would like to wish EVERYONE

A HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

*hopefully u ppl wont have nitemare..wahahah..

okay..off to class nw..

pre-cny..

i'd told myself that i WONT blog about cny..

cos the syndrome of homesickness is contagious and will infect everyone else in an instance..

and im nw contradicting myself once again.. !@#@#$$

WARNING:

those who are homesick nw..stop here and ignore the rest of the post..

when i first set up my blog..i'd decided onli to write about happy things that happened..and let the unhappy moments passed by in silence..

bt i guess its kinda impossible..

its hard to remain cheerful all the time..

and for the past few days my mood had been fluctuating..

when i received a new year card & angpao from s.kwan..

i was very excited and touched as she'd been really thoughtful..

seriously..i've never been so happy to see cny card

and yet at the same time..

i felt a pang of emptiness..

chose to ignore that and i'd been okay for the next few days..

THEN..

the 1st instance that i viewed the cny song by the astro + MY fm djs from youtube..

the moment when i tok to bro who is nw in kch..

and when i chatted with dad and mum who're busy buying things for cny..

it hit me that chinese new year is REALLY near..

for the 1st time in my life

i couldnt fly back to kch and celebrate cny with my family and old frens bek in kch..

at THOSE particular moments..

i felt all the homesickness that i'd bottled up bt chose to ignore..

one part of me was thinking of hw to ban all the videos/songs/red things/etc etc that can remind me of cny from getting into my sight..

(and yet..i've been listening to the cny songs over and over again..:P)

another part of me kept telling myself that celebrating cny at oversas isnt too bad..
this will be my 1st and last time NOT celebrating cny at home..so wats the big deal?

summore i have so many crazy frens around to celebrate with me..

and i've no right to indulge myself in self-pity compared to my other frens that are sitting for exams rite nw..(good luck arr!!)

haih..must be those depressing journals that made me depressed..

*****************************************************************

wrote that few hours ago..

nw listening to my FAVOURITE group-mayday's songs..

somehow, the songs made me feel better..has therapeutic effect..:P

gonna post the playlist in my blog..

i think the 1st song is the best..light and easy...something that can easily lift up ur mood..lalalala...

Anyway..

HAPPY CNY~~~~~

in case u havent noticed..my background is changed to dark red/maroon colour temporarily to suit the cny mood~~~~

SNOW!!

at 5 sumthing am this morning..

sc banged my door hard..and i continued to sleep..thank goodness she'd been persistent and patient..haha..i think she continuously banged for quite some time and when she finally said "its snowing!!!WAKE UP!!!"..within seconds..i was wide awake and rushed to her room..

omg!!!its really snowing outside..and its obviously snowing for quite some time...

the 4 of us stood near the window to have a closer look..everything was covered with a layer of snow..and it was soooooo soooooo nice!!!
wow...everything was white!!

even the tong-sampah looked so much nicer..

bt we werent crazy enuf to run downstairs..i went straight back to bed and slept like a pig until 9 sumthing..our neighbours told us that they banged our door earlier bt nobody woke up..oops..apparently i really slept soundly until i din hear ANY SOUND at all..(my room was the nearest to the front door..:P)

since the snow was already melting..we had a quick breakfast and went down to snap pics..

ahteng semakin pro with 自拍！！

ooo..finally knew hw the snow felt like..:)))

nice pic lerr..felt really cold and wet sitting on the snow..:P kinda syok sendiri i noe..hehe..1st time see so much snow marr..

something to ponder..

after the normal lecture today, 3 lecturers stepped into the hall and discussed with us about our assignments..

apparently, they've received complaints from the students bout the workload and they were here to listen to our opinions..and once they'd asked us to voice out our opinions..the home students were already raising their hands..

one opinion came after another, with long explanations by the foreign students..and they fully expressed their dissatisfaction with the workload given..

at some point one of the students was bombarding one of the lecturers (who we dun like also,haha!) and when he didnt answer the question directly..he kena bombarded again..wow!!

all the while we, the malaysians were just watching in surprise and shock!! and after the discussions, the lecturers promised to tell us their final decisions next week..which means they'll probably reduced 3 essays into 2..*fingers crossed* (phew..havent started doing any yet..)..

wow..another cultural shock for me..:))...throughout the years of studying..we've oways been obeying watever we were asked to do..even when the assignments/homework thrown at us were a lot..it never even registered to our brains that we could actually voice out our opinions!! the reasons are probably : we feel that we were obliged to be obedient/ the teachers will probably say "thats ur responsibilities as students.."/no changes wil be made even if we do complain..

so at the end of the day..we were all trained to become robots who are hardworking, obeying the instructions of others, never consider that we can actually question them or say "no" if we dun feel like doing it..hmmm.....
