My sis is here!

Yeah, finally my sis decided to come back to her hometown and visit her family there. Haha. I was very excited because I miss her a lot! The night she came home from West Malaysia, I missed the chance to join my parents to fetch her from the airport. I only met her when I came home that night. I was really tired and sleepy, but I didnt sleep as soon as I reached home. Instead, I talked to her and tried the short pants and skirt that she got for me. The next day, I had class so I went to college as usual. In the evening, I joined my sis, my aunt & my mum for shopping spree in Giant Central Plaza. Again, I was extremely exhausted but I wanted to join them (It almost felt like I havent met them for a really long time). A day after that, I still have class. But luckily my class until about 1pm. So later I joined them (my sis, aunt & mum) in 1 Borneo.

When I reached there, I saw several changes were made since my last visit. I used to work there till May last year, and now I feel like I wanna work there again. After all there are more customers and visitors now. But I should just forget about it and concentrate on my studies now. By the way, I forgot to mention that I went back to my high school to take a cert a day before that. Like 1B & many other places in KK, the physical of my high school changed a lot too.

When we were in 1B, I went to a shop & showed my sis the Indian costume that I want. I'm going to wear that for my friend's engagement day (ngam-ngam on Chinese New Year lagi tu. 14 Feb. I'm actually not sure whether I can go or not. But I'll just buy everything just in case I can go), because the guy has a little bit of Indian blood while the girl has a little bit of Philipino blood, and the theme mentioned about Indian & Philipino traditional clothes. Nice eh? =D Oh, by the way, the name of the Indian costume is Salwar Kameez (for male is: Dhoti Kurta) and it is VERY nice. But...in the end I picked the other clothes which look like Kadazan costume (but I guess it's supposed to be a modified version of Salwar Kameez) because I cannot afford the Salwar Kameez. Huhu. Nvm. I'll buy a Saree next time. Nyahaha. ;D

After tired of walking around in 1B (and my aunt was rushing to go back home), we decided to get out of 1 Borneo. My aunt & mum went back home, while me & my sis went to Likas Square.

Yeah, that's me (still in my uniform) & my sis

This is the Salwar Kameez that I wanted so badly.

Finally bought this for myself.
It doesnt even look like an Indian clothes.
Instead it looks like Kadazan costume. Dont you think so? Hmm...

One of the Kadazan costumes

I've no idea why I posed like that...

Yeah I know we dont look alike.

...but I guess I'm still manja with her. ;>

Owh yeah, we're sisters. Haha. ;)

This is my 6th 'house', I guess. ;p

1st day of Sem. 2

Exhausted!! My body is screaming and asking me to go to bed now, but my mind & eyes said "be cool, you can have your rest later. Update blog first". Hahaha.

Today is my 1st day in ATIC for 2nd semester. It was a great day actually. I didnt know that Lecturers of Semester 2 will be so cool and funny. Well, I really enjoyed my class today.

First 2 periods were for Food Safety & Sanitary (FSS) class. Lecturer in charge is Sir Hubert. When we first walked in, he was already talking but he didnt scold us or warn us for being late. I guess it was because all the classrooms shifted to the new building (oh I forgot to mention this in the beginning, right?), and made it difficult to find the exact classroom for FSS subject.

ok. So, about the lecturer - Sir Hubert, he has a serious face but once he asks us to imagine this and that, we really couldnt stop laughing. He's such a nice and cool lecturer. (Well, for the time being). The way he talks really reminds me of a friend. I couldnt stop giggling when I think bout that. Hehe. Also, he made me feel that I didnt pick the wrong course. He made me feel like I want to love Pastry Arts much more than before! =)

We had FSS class until 11 something. After that we had no class at all until almost 3pm. So during that period, I went to have my lunch and rest.

Class resume at 3 something and I was totally surprised to see a chinese guy in the classroom. He was the person-in-charge when I retook my exam last year. He too has a serious face. Oh, I forgot to mention his name. He is Sir Harland.

This time though, the classroom got a majority of Chinese students. Most of them are my seniors (different courses of course).

So, after attendance, Sir Harland started his lecture. I already held my breath & waiting to listen to his serious lecture when he opened his mouth. But I'm amazed to know that he's such a cheerful & happy person all throughout our lesson. I noticed he smiled & laughed a lot. And he didnt even give a damn if the class is noisy or nobody listens to him or some students online or sms or whatever. His smile will still be there. And another amazing thing is that, though it seemed like nobody listens to him, but he will get a reply eventually from a few students. And that's when his smile is on his face again. =)

I remember he said today "I dont care if you want to sms somebody during my class, but remember to put your phone in silent mode." and "I just want to finish my syllabus. Then you all can go home 1 hour earlier or 1 & a half hour earlier." Cool~~ I like him! =D

I hope that this year....

Finally I'm home and got the chance to update my blog.

Well, as a start, I just wanna write about my hope for this year. (I wonder why I didn’t think of this on New Year’s day. I mean on 1st of Jan). I know life’s not gonna be any easier than the year before; since my schedule is kinda pack during weekdays compared to last sem, and there are a lotta things that I myself have to deal with, especially in financial area. I have to learn to stand on my own feet no matter what. But anyway, I’m positive that I will be able to get through all those and make some changes this year. Well, finger-crossed.

I can’t deny that I have a very long list of things that I wana do and things that I hope I can change this year. But I’ll just make it short and simple and just mention some of ‘em here. One of those is get a car for myself. I got my license since January last year, but never even driven a car till now. (How pathetic). I’m just afraid that I’ll forget how to drive a car when I get the ‘real’ license January next year if I don’t start practicing now.

The next thing is I hope I can fund my own college fees. I don’t know how I’m going to do that, but I’ll figure out a way. Miraculous things do happen sometimes, don’t they?

Besides that, I really should work on anger management. I’m not a person who usually let my temper flares up, but when something hurtful is said or done, then I will keep on thinking bout it till my anger becomes outta control. Since I know that my bad-temper is very destructive to my relationship with people around me, so I must learn how to cope with that. Or else, I'll be mad over things that were actually just a misunderstanding.

Basically, that is it. There are more, but I’ll keep the long list to myself. =)
