my heart goes shalala-lala~

I've FINALLY received the letter from Georg-Simon-Ohm which was dated on the 4th of June -.-" Funny. Anyhow, I don't even know how to pronounce the name of the University properly LOL. I've got so many things to do, so many decisions to make, so many deadlines to meet but yet, so little time!

If I were to choose to go for this exhange program, I've to go all the way down to KL to get my Visa done, renew my passport, translate my insurance policy into German and book my flights as soon as possible. Can't believe it - I've got less than 2 months to go.

so on & so forth....
yada yada yada.

seriously. i can be on the cover of a magazine k :P
The OMG magazine.. ROFL. Thank God I've decided to make McDonalds & KFC my enemy.
Anyhow, I can't wait to meet all of you again tomorrow.. it's been too long! ♥



hometown buddies..
all scaterred in different parts of Malaysia for studies :(

with KERRY AH CHANNNN.

hi-ber-na-tion

i WILL be back.

a promise is a promise.

life has never been busier!
assignments are pouring in like rain,
and i'm moving into a new place.
at the moment,i can't even count the number of responsibilities/
commitment that i'm bearing with my two hands!

i've not enough time for myself, even.


just wanna let you guys know that i'm FINE;
still alive and kicking! bugger, ain't it? :P
and whenever i have time, i drop by your blogs
i will be back in the blogosphere, ACTIVELY
somewhere around mid - end of October.
don't give up just yet!
you can find me on facebook though ;)

[l-r : jasmine, me, joann]
a sneak peek of something that i have done lately

i am AMAZINGLY blabbing.

this is a story of a girl,
who cried a river and drowned the whole world

time flies by like flickers of light today
i've been out the whole day since 9 in the morning
been running errands with mummy the whole day!;
paying bills, picking the suitable tiles for our new home
(I contributed the most at this one!),
choosing between curtains or blinds,
surveying through various furniture shops,
cruising through dato keramat road lookin for ACER's service center,
blablablablabla and bla.


we did manage to get some pinned down
after long hours of furniture hunting, we finally bought a beautiful dining set
YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE LORENZO i tell you
i was so close to set up a tent there; i fell in love with the furnitures instantly!

me during Bachelor of Arts Translation & Interpretation interaction night.
yada yada.

well it's been a while since an ominously huge photo of me being posted up here;
so don't complain la! :D

i guess blogging is one of the ways for me to chill from all this hustle bustle of life
i've been sitting infront of the computer for hours, typing away my assignment;
i even signed off msn, resisting the temptation of facebooking and all. sigh.
and i'm only like 20% through with my first one.
WORSE, i have 4 other assignments and 2 major USM projects coming up.
e-oh-e-oh-e-oh!! LALALALALALA! TELETUBBIES!
wtfbbqchicken.really.


been sucha nerd lately .. GARGH.
"hello. im chan min min. *cough* uh." *pulls pants high up*


involved with too many stuffs especially in USM.
but i know i can handle this,
and it's for my own good anyway!

one of the events.
zherong and me at the launching of KONVEX '08 (usm graduation)

HAHAHHAHAA i am a MINAH!
cant even flippin recognize myself. how awful!
thanks Theepha, for lending me that gorgeous ladylike baju kurung :)

pfft. i better get back to my assignments,
getting late and i have to get up at like 9 to settle some stuffs
regarding our photography project in USM tmr.
and then off to the library
"uh. told-ya-i'm-a-uh-nerd."*fixes reading glasses*

sipeh random punya night -.-

day1 070708

well, well, well.
THAT day has finally arrived!
no, not my wedding day of course
it's the day where I stepped foot into USM once again after so long;
and this time as a 2nd year student of B.A Translation and Interpretation (BATI).
i can finally say; I'M A SENIOR.

nicked this off Zhe Rong's blog [lizardboi88.blogspot.com]
clickety click!
DK(dewan kuliah)foyer
the foyer with halls where we often have our classes and tutorials :)

FINALLY.
let's meet the other side of Minny.
yups. the nerdy one.
the book-face one 8-)

goodness gracious me!
it's a little too much of airbrushing/photoshop done on my forehead!!
i know, definitely not the best picture ever but
this is how i look like for my first day back in Uni.
people were asking about my 'amy winehouse' inspired eyeliner LOL

cars parked along the road
it's REGISTRATION DAY for the seniors!

the view from Pusat Bahasa & Penterjemahan.
took me quite some time to register for the courses i opt for;
i hate it to the max seriously
SO much CONFUSION and TROUBLE!
subjects clashing.
back to back classes.
darnit.

for lunch, i took my coursemates to a coffee shop near Bukit Jambul
sells really good "Pan Mee" and "Dim Sum"
what more, the food is CHEAP!

i seriously like it there,
we ate under the tree ; with greens surrounding us and birds chirping away

i have a confession to make
i haven't had dim sum ever since my holidays started (3 months ago)
UNTIL today!
reason : cannot wake up for it. too early -.-

my tummy hurts real bad.
feels like someone is twisting it.
man.

FINALLY !

before I start,
IM SO EXCITED!
KOH SAMUI IN 3 WEEKS!
BEACHESSS, PARTIESSSS!!!!
KOH SAMUI! OMIGOD. YES.
im so so so so so so so so so so so excited!

*joy to the world*
FINALS are finally O-V-E-R.

you can't imagine how happy or how thankful I am at the moment.
NO more romantic nights on the bed with the table lamp on - face to face,
my hands on its body; paying so much attention to even the smallest details.
what i meant right there is - late night revising.
those nasty eye bags from studying and from sleep deprivation are finally gone.
gone baby, GONE. my main consent right now is whether if I would score thoroughly
well or either just glade nicely through the passing line.

had lunch at Max's with my course mates after watching a movie at Queensbay.
it was that new Jackie Chan one - Forbidden Kingdom
Not too bad, I kind of enjoyed it!

i ordered roasted pork!
YUM YUM YUM YUM...!!!


did some shopping right after!
browsed through the new collections at MNG
i have A LOT to catch up upon.

forever21.
yeah. i know. i dont look good in dresses. omg.
i tried on 5, and NEHHHH.

the red headed princess (title given by goodboygonebad.com) has gone subtle today.
i was so nervous when i was getting my hair colored; as if i was at the dentists', ya know
i.dont.look.like.me.
BAAH. this is unacceptable :(
even some friends said "whoa, this is not you!"
but whatever lah. it's just hair.
can always get it back to red, right?

sometimes, it is OKAY to be ordinary.

some insights

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love's gonna get you down.
[lollipop - MIKA]

the cutest song ever!!
lollipoppp~~ ey~~ singing ba-dap-dap-ba-dap-dap.

eh what if i look like this everyday?
would people still want to date me? lol
and oh, thanks to charleskey for the picture!

okay. cut-the-crap.
i'm sitting for a paper for my core subject tomorrow. finals are somehow killing me in someways but it never stopped me from having fun :) i'm a FREE clown bird tomorrow when the clock hits 5.15pm; when the examiners start to collect the answer sheets. I can't wait seriously.


another thing is that, I'm applying for SIA's (Singapore Airlines) cabin crew. Interview's in two weeks time and I'm already freaking out. Been doing lots of research and been asking my aunt (who was once a stewardess and now, she's a chief flight attendant) about the job and the interview - not as easy as most of you or I thought it would be. If all goes well, I'm gonna stop doing my degree in USM and reside in Singapore for a couple of months for training. It's a green light for me as I already talked to my parents and to some of my friends; I would most probably stand out for my height. But I might be reconsidering all of this again IF I am ever offered a job with SIA. Hence, the hair on my head is going back to BLACK.


My heart is already aching; because I'm pulling the plug on the red that's been with me for a couple of month's now - it has already been my trademark, but I'm gonna have to lose it. It's really almost impossible for me to look for a job with this hair. An employer even told me once that the RED is unacceptable. oh well. :( Nevertheless, I would be even happier if I were to be granted a job upon giving up my-so-called-'trademark'.
Back to basics, Minny. Back to basics.


Oh well enough of me ranting, I'm gonna sound like my mother someday soon (OH NO!).
Gotta get back to the books now; they miss me - i know. haha.

sometimes I wish I can foresee the future;
then life would not be so complicated.
but what is life without complication?;
as what is art without imagination?

i DID IT!

"you look so dumb right now,
standing outside my house,
trying to apologize,
you’re so ugly when you cry,
please, just cut it out"
[take a bow]
my current obsession :D


anyway, i've been away for like a good 6 days now. it feels amazing to step foot into a place you're so familiar with - HOME.


indeed i'm spoiled to the core; to the comforts of home. i don't have to wash, i don't have to cook, i don't have to iron my clothes, i don't have to make my bed, i don't have to sweep the floor.. eh, make me feel better - DO YOU DO ALL OF THESE AT HOME? yeah yeah yeah i know i have to be more "homely" and start doing all the house chores, but i can't help it!
i've got two maids at home; what else can i do :P


anyway, last week was pretty hectic. not to mention that i DID go to the gym :) spent so much quality time with my guy, did school work, did some revision, hung out with my friends and sat for my finals. which leaves me not much time to blog! geram tau. so many things to jot down but normally when i'm free, i would just hit the sheets - totally bumped out!


NOT TO MENTION,
yesterday was my 5th time back in the gym,
and i already lost 2kgs!
yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
despite the fact that my arms and legs are sore lol.

after completing one of the papers. the MOST excruciating one!
LOGICS & CRITICAL THINKING.

dimsum later on!

one of my coursemates, hui fei

i have so many things to do!
one of them is to visit your blogs and read about what's going on with you guys!

i wish i can live in a world where time do not exist.

somebody call the mental asylum please!

it is official!
JENG JENG JENG.
MINNY SUDAH SIAO!
(translation : Minny is now a nutcase!)


I guess this week has started off so rocky for me;
so many assignments due this friday, i'm losing my pace completing it,
i would rather sit and stare out from my dorm window.
instead of flipping through notes and typing away my assignment,
here i am ranting and bragging.


my phone line got barred. curses!
my phone died on me. keypads 1, 2 & 3 keep malfunctioning.
room's in a mess. books all over.
my finals starts in two weeks; godamnit.
my left foot hurts like shit; been a week already.
i feel insignificant.
i feel reluctant.
let's see, what else?
oh yeah, im so pissed off with some people, you know.
this is when the time is NOT right for my mind to have irrelevant thoughts clumping in!
sometimes i wish i could just dig out my brain to refrain from thinking all those shitty stuffs that might turn out to be NOT true after all. ohmigod.


focus minny, focus.

told you it's messy.
assignment 1 : 95% done
assignment 2 : 90% done
assignment 3 : 15% done
tutorial homework : 0% done


fuck it.
due by friday; all of it.
i wish i have like 48 hours a day.
i need to unwind, you idiots.

self entertainment :D




anyway, im glad i went out with JJ, Vingie and aL earlier today.
Im feeling way better now.

i'm such a nerd.
let's party after i hand in ALL of my assignments?
PRETTY PLEASE?

yadayada.

amidst of a truck load of assignments and presentations.
heck, i've 2 sheets to pass up on thursday morning;
and only my fingerprints are on it.


come back later for updates ya :)
lots of update about, yeh im serious!

tower of sushi plates

So, aL had this SMS voucher thingy from sushiking.
it's like a buy 1 free 1 thing,
but it applies on sushis.
thanks for inviting us for dinner, aL!
{click here for aL ham mama's webby}

meet the hot sisters :)
zhigie and vingie

JJ, AL and me!

dont ever order this.
a big NONO.
aL's telur telur.
hahahaha.

this is how much we ate that night.

the next day i had this presentation in class for my minor studies
we had to come out with a sketch which describes and explains how the radio and recording companies are dependent on each other to survive. In other words - symbiosis.

whoaaaaa. :D
singer, konon.
my lecturer said that IM A GOOD ACTRESS.
happy sial!

overall, our group did a great job [:

dont i just remind you of your mother?
"go clean your room, NOW!"

man, i cant find the mood to blog.
i try to smile but my heart is breaking into pieces.
what can i do?

bad blogger. bad bad.

i know ive been a bad blogger.
it's not that i've neglected this blog
but ive been doing some serious partying over the weekend!
hahaha, nevertheless, updates soon!
connection's at a snail's pace (probably worse)
and i have like tons of assignments to finish.

*baby sometimes, love is just ain't enough*

the opposite of woohoos and weehees.

air brushed with photoshop.

i've always been updating about my life "outside" campus;
all the wooohoo and weeheees and late night outings.
but i'm sure you guys wanna know what the nerdy part of me has been doing lately.


no no no no, dont get me wrong,
i'm not limiting my, let's just say, wild side :D


through the past week and this week,
my friends and i had to take a bus/walk to class from our hostels;
not that we wanna burn any calories or whatsoever, but we're forced to!
my car is considered not "legal" around the campus area
because i didnt apply for the USM car sticker thingy.
Only 2nd year students can apply, and well, i'm only doing my first.
heck, they have roadblocks even in USM.
without the sticker, you'll be issued with a fine. got it twice already. pfffft.


that's why despite of the scorching hot sun,
with or without an umbrella;
WE WALKED!
we're healthy people - we hobble and skip down the streets happily!
yeah, right.

no wonder USM is called 'universiti dalam taman'

panas sial. -.-

had Subaidah in USM for lunch with a few coursemates the other day.
so much went on, POLITIC talk all the way!
i guess it's not a shocker,
for it doesnt collide with what the society is blabbing about nowadays.

zherong and hui hui

and theepa on the right hand side

me? i sat with yoke yin and listened;
voiced out my opinions too, in a very subtle way :)
but sometimes, politics do baffle me.

so many different views on politics;
but such a sensitive issue to talk about!

second home.

lemme tell y'all, i can summarize my 2 weeks in just 2 words : TOTAL MADNESS.
been searching high and low for condominium units;
whether it's high or low density, north or south penang, new or old.
mom's gonna get one; our second home.

frankly, i saw two condominium units that i literally admire.
SUKA SANGAT xD

when mom brought us to have a look at second hand condo units,
i had goosebumps. i dont know, even if the tenant stayed for only a year there,
i can't move in. i want my home to be MY turf.
not a place that someone left behind.

we took a look at new projects (yet to be built),
and we're investing!

both photo : ALILA.
kinda balmy, except for the afternoon sun.
no more units available. SAD HUH! ]:

this one's called Palm Palmadillo or something

we looked around for more, trust me when i say more!
pening kepala okay. big, small, mediocre condo units - we've seen it all.

the ironic thing is, why are properties so expensive in the island?
some new projects by HUNZA can cost you at least RM1.2 million per unit;
and note me when i say this. it's a condominium unit. About 1900sq.
mana mau korek duit?


ANYWAY!
let's talk about something more fun lah, yeah?
last night my coursemates and I went over to Jun's place..

preparing.
but at the mean time, look at yoke yin.
lalalala xD

interesting ya know?
this is like my third/fourth yee sang meal throughout my 20 years on earth.

i was curious, 'so.. what is this?'
'oh these are carrot slices'
'ummm.. and what about the red one?'
'it's ginger.'
'GINGERRRR???!'

lots of ginger.
but funny thing is, IT WAS YUMMYLICIOUS DELICIOUSNESS.

yee sang!
all the way from Pahang!
thanks hui hui [:

after dinner,
Jun and me drove us all to Kek Lok Si.

sorry lah.
i didnt bring my slr;
used T5 instead. haha

i love this shot [:

the whole place was lighted;
mesmerizing, yes!

my friends wrote their wishes.
may yours and theirs come true!

just being random;
heh :D
and oh, HAPPY CHAP GOH MEH!

NIHON!!!

a week before chinese new year, my course mates and i went Japanese!
"hai, nihon no taberu ni tabemasu" (we had japanese food)

ajinoren was the place - it's the one opposite island plaza.

well i didnt take any photos of the food - i couldnt be bothered;
we were just too hungry and the food was amazing..
GLUTTONYYYYYYY. nyahahhahaa!

me with hui hui & jun.
judging from this photo,
i think ive put on some weight right now ]:



i know i dont have the nicest legs ever but,

knock myself against something..
despite of that, i hate my toes.
elephant-ish/fat/duck feet;
just a misnomer! i cant even name my own ugly feet. ironic.

took this when i was walkin up to my room on the third floor;
full moon!
which now reminds me that the 15th day of chinese new year is tomorrow!

so the next day (as i remember),
REDBOX!
muahahahhahahahhahaa.
i'll let the photos do the talkin, yeah?

a pretty group photo!

gonna go now! it's wednesday night - where else will i be heading to?
get it? :D

have u ever had this feeling like someone's watching you?
keeping you out of trouble, keeping you safe
freaky. but, i do.
