maybe

2009 is pretty much an epic year.

i'd be very surprised if i don't end up as a scientist.

Congratulations people, I am going to learn about diseases, diseases, and more diseases that are contributed by the well-formed worms & parasites!

Exciting.


/synopsis of my subjects.

While I was having a night stroll at the beach hunting for some ice-cream (but they ran out of it. I don't know how it's possible for McD to ran out of both sundaes & McFlurry at the same time, but that happened), I received a text message from a classmate. He offered me a position. Since I am in desperate need to gain at least a sense of responsibility to fill in my free time and also to get some certificates for future prospects (not to mention, there is nothing else to do in the campus), I agreed. Later at night, my class representative texted me another position. I agreed. The next day in class, another classmate was looking for people to fill in the job. I was forced to take it. My friend has already threatened me to attend the team's meeting.


Full list of what I am going to carry behind my back for this whole semester:
1. Assistant Project Manager for Cultural Division, ScienceS (the students society). There will be a Cultural Festival soon.
2. Assistant Head Committee for Bureau of Education, Batch
3. (possible) debater OH LULZ
4. ...TUTOR?!??!?!!!

The last one is very hilarious. Third constitutes as something humorous but I've already assisted it with OH LULZ.



Something else during this semester: 65daysofstatic, Kings of Convenience, Singapore, March, Mosaic, two weekends. Hm.

cold water

Yesterday I managed to put together the rack in my hostel room. I feel like a champion, a manly man with non-existent biceps. My roommate freaked out when her room was filled with fungi.

Kuantan is chilly. The monsoon season is on its way, and even more compartments are empty this time around. A few of us decided to leave the hostel earlier & went for a house nearby; so it's going to be less noise & less cooking utensils at the pantry.

When we walked up the stairs to get to our room at fourth storey, we were baffled at the familiarity of these steps. We've been going up and down for one whole year. One year of being digressed from the common city life (in my case), and into an isolated compartment where we have to battle against monkeys in the evening. I am surprised that I actually survived this time around, to compare with my boarding school history. I've became more tolerant with my surroundings, I guess. Or maybe because I don't really have to live up to any expected (yet uncomfortable) social norms that are superficial.

I've also became more and more adequate with whatever I am learning. My results were good, or awesome for some! I never thought that I could actually get on this pedestal when I've been complaining and had second thoughts beforehand. For this semester I am taking five (or six?) core courses, and all of it are promising hardcore late night cramming. The timetable is still in a mess, but there are the possibility of no laboratory session on Friday evening. THAT MEANS THE WEEKEND.





Do you want me to talk about the holidays?

Other than the depressing fact that it was short & I couldn't get the chance to meet all of my friends (especially Bo to tell him stories!), but I think I managed to spend it well. Kelantan was visited during the Eiduladha celebration, with a cousin's wedding involved in the whole mix. One good day in Kelantan were spent under covers or on the sofa, chilling with sudoku as my mum cooked for us. I think that was the rare opportunity where we get to taste it.

This holiday was also the time we've finally established our return to home. I will talk about this later, but here's a say on it: I haven't been crying ever since, and this is the first time



the first time I actually meant those words. You're very lucky. :)
