LONG TIME NEVER POST AH. DIE AH.

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....okay, maybe not to that extent. but still. time for me to post something. since i'm currently marooned in shah alam, seksyen 18 (i think). it's called INTEC (international something something), supposedly the best prepatory (goverment) college for overseas. malay-dominated area, no chinese food. >.< everyday kfc, mcdonalds' and mamak stalls. occasionally baker's cottege. i'm beginning to feel the effects of TOO MUCH FAST FOOD.

well, amazingly, CHYE YANG is here with me. he seems pretty sociable now. XD astute observation, i'd say. nowadays he has his fellow korean program ENGINEERING CORE students following him around (i'm inclined to think of MAFIA and so..), who are damn TAO-ah. very ZEN-like. but he's leaving in september. SO GO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM! OR LET'S HOLD SOME FAREWELL PARTY, AN EXCUSE TO MEET UP YEAH. i don't feel like an engineer HAHA. cuz i've been spending most of my time joking around and acting stupid (wait, what acting?). as always i'm (one of) the jokers in class. but hey, my class is fun. and pretty united. with 20 people in it. and half malays, half non-malays. all smart-smart belaka. some not so kiasu lah. some more kiasu than others.

and we have 3 classes a day. two hours(most of the time less than that) per class. mostly english stuff, which they term (rather pompously) LANGUAGE AWARENESS (glorified grammar, i'd say..still confused over tenses and what not), ORAL COMMUNICATION (pretty fun actually. impromptu speeches and all..), WRITING (okay, so you all know what is this.) and SAT class (for the SAT test in october, which is TEH MAJOR 1337!!!!!11111 exam) and TOEFL class (pretty boring and useless class. who takes the TOEFL anyway?!). oh yeah, not to forget, MATH class. jeez. FACTORISATION is SO COMPLICATED NOW. then again, it's nothing compared to the FURTHER MATH i took for 6 months in taylor's. kinda miss the ppl there now. ya know. DIONG-y, Pheebs, jor how, yy, keat wei, jue jing, siew ying, phang kit, sao lee, pz, li hsien...i'm sure there are more (if i missed out your name, it's my BAD.i've amnesia). but i flunked FMATHS (close to, anyway). CRAP.

guess i deserved my time in this wilderness. more focused now (not on girls, mindya..even though there ARE fun + goodlooking ppl..i think), try not watching tv nor reading the newspaper for one week. nor going online. am tempted to sneak out to cybercafes...just for the heck of it. then again, they have a good library. for once.

i shouldn't complain either. since i go back every weekend. i'm at home now. typing this. the sarawakians, penangnites (some anyway), pahang-nians, johor-ians..i really pity them. they have to live in that destitute, peeling-walls kinda hostel everyday. seriously derelict. and no phone lines. and crappy toilets. maladorous. nothing picturesque about this place, mind you. and there was the HAZE...and i live on the 5th floor. so FRESH (yeah, right) air everyday. i end up smelling like i've chain-smoked 50 packs of cigarettes or something.

oh yeah. i'm US-bound (which means that i'll return with an american accent. yo bro, how'cha talk chinese?) hopefully. it's tough to get into ivy leagues though. considering the fact that i've never done anything BIG internationally, or even locally. i'm just a country bumpkin from malaysia. oh well. miracles happen (sometimes). and, barring that, i won't be too disappointed. try hard to get into those ivyleague standard non-ivy leagues (am i confusing you yet?). try and see loh...

btw, joanne is somewhere here in INTEC too. she's AUSSIE-bound. different hostel though, cuz our place is JAM-PACKED. once the korean program ppl move out i guess there'll be more space.

and...well. i'm FREE ON WEEKENDS. anyone with any CRAZY IDEAS (or even not-so crazy ones lah..) on what to do during weekends (but i think most ppl are busy studying esp. the TAYLOR's and FORM 6 PPL..S1 mah)..pls contact me. that way i'll be less-obssessed with going online and checking my mail every 5 minutes. withdrawal symptoms, i'd say.

now, excuse me while i go eat some pork. XP
