Thoughts from a soggy mind - best served Cold

Ahh…d hols r over! Should i b sad or happy? Well..makes no difference since i studied like mad anyway. Maths, chem, bio, esl…u name it, i’ve done it. Lol. D unholidayest holiday i’ve ever had, what with running around here n there doin stuff as well, OMG! In a way i’m kinda glad d hols r over..so now i can tel myself 2 buck up n studi hard for trials n finals. Tonight? Exception =) cos i hv important stuff 2discuss wif frens via msn, hehe. Anyway, here’ d itinery of my hols:

1. Granma’s birthday

The grand old lady of d house turned 78 on monday 21st August 2006 but v held it slightly earlier so that Everyone could come. What a gathering! I could see that dearie granny was very happy and i’m kinda happy+ sad considering i can oni celebrate wif her again 5 years down d road… Oh well, here r d pics:

Granny’s pretty cake : notice d peaches! Made of icing..hehex

Granny wif all her grandchildren. Hurm…i stand out like a bean pole..

         2.    Activities back in Teluk Intan

So i went back to teluk intan on monday morn to discover that my body has acclimatised to aircond! So it was like living in a desert..omg..had to take 5 baths a day! BUT i was happy 2b back in d place i was born..this is where i had d most wonderful memories after all =) So i went about studying day n nite (wad else?) n finishing all d trial papers. Yeah..i did go out once wif frens (to hoover, not hooters) and v had a nice banter which made all d other customers stare at our table, lol... Ray, sori ya i know i said i’d sms u bt i didnt n stil havent done so..i’l do so asap, hehe..well, u guys r taking stpm trials nex week so all d best!

Another thing worthy of mention was that i had fun chatting on msn wif a Friend =] haha..i noe itz not veri significant, like, chattin on msn! Anyone can do it rite? But den, in d late hours of d nite, when ur mentally exhausted after vigorous studying amid hot n humid conditions, it does help u de-stress and it was juz so farnie..we talked n talked about cipan ! For the uninformed, itz d malay name for tapir (an animal wif black head + white butt). HAha…v debated about d function of cipan in the ecosystem..should it just eat ants or do something more meaningful? Like posing for pics? LOL…i noe it doesnt make sense but nvm, i had great fun n that’s all that matters =)

          3.       My Sister’s Convocation

Ahh…yes! This was THE event of my holidays! Like a volcanic eruption, d excitement n tension juz builds up towards the Big Day. After 5 long years of slogging it out, my sis has finally got her Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours), first class leh! oni 51 ppl managed 2 get 1st class (all disciplines included) so yeah..damn proud =)

The convocation was on Sunday 27th August 2006 but we went a day earlier to Ipoh 1st to spend d nite there n hv some fun.. Visited Sam Poh Tong where there were absolutely fantastic tortoises in d pond..check this pic out!

Tortoises fighting over a stem of kangkung…Kinda familiar if u replace d reptiles wif humans n d kangkung wif stuff like grades, money, etc etc…

Anyway, here’s about the BIG DAY! we woke up at 6 am then proceeded to rush thru mundane stuff like bathing, dressing up etc…departure from ipoh syuen at 7am and reached sis’ uni, Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) at about 8am. It was ady jampacked like shit but v managed to get a place anyway. And best thing was i got to get insid  d convo hall wif my granny + parents even tho at 1st oni my parents had tickets. Well, special treatment for senior citizens ma =)

So v went insid, n waited n waited n waited…finally it was my sis’ turn!! Yay..she took her scroll from Tun Mahathir:

That’s my sis! I took d pic of d big screen instead. Notice dey put her name n degree at d bottom so dis is one special pic =)

Course, as wif all convocations we had to sit for so long our butts nearly froze. But finally all was over n v took photos wif d Pride of d Family…

"Chuen Ka Fuk" - d graduate wif all members of d family

Everyone’s scrambling for their places while d excitable photographer snapped this…malunya…

Dad, Mum, Sis and Me =)

Haha…it was a hectic but thoroughly happy ending to the hols. All in all v travelled sumting like 300 km but it was worth every drop of petrol =] Extremely proud of my sis, now the onus is on me to match her feat in 5 years’ time…

Congrats sis! 

And to everyone else, all the best for trials and take care!
