Simple Plan
Untitled
I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Yellow.. it's time to start a new semester now. Haha, joined the WMU programme and it started a few days back. Phew, just started but today already got presentation. Well, though it's not any formal presentation but still, yeah did a small tiny presentation. My partner was Elsie, okay, she reminded me of Ms Elsie when I first met her because of her name. Anywayz, luckily my english lecturer was satisfied with our presentation and she said it was good. and then, i have a pre-calculus quiz on monday. damn, so fast i got quiz d. but what to do, this is such a short sem, gotta do everything fast man.. haha.
well, i mean so far so good. getting back to the sunway college life, having fun with ma friends. oh, and guess what, i have a david lim look-a-like in my both my classes. gosh, the way his hair goes, his dressings and the way he talks.... it's so reminds me of david lim.. haha.. and there is this guy who look like colin too... man.. it so reminds me of ausmat last year. well, besides that, another funny fact is in my pre-calculus class, there's only two girls, including me. so, in other words, i can really feel the stress within me man... gosh, damn scary wei.
lcuky me, i bumped into Mr Eric today and i sort of told him about me doin what and me gotta do calculus now. so, he was offering me help. so in other words, if i don't understand anything about calculus, i have two teachers lending me a hand. haha... which is in fact good. and thanks to Mr Jay's training in english and presentation, hopefully i could do well for my english papers too.
anywayz, i think that's all for now. gotta catch up with ma maths work. till then... SIGN OFF!!!

Well, today was a great day for me. Went for a BBQ gathering for the ex-mgs form 5 girls of year 2003. though it was suppose t be something special for the msg-sians but there were a few acs monkeys around. Well, met Wai San, Mun Yee, Siew Yen, Wai Ling, Mun Ee, Jun, Tien Tien, Tze Wei, Isabelle Soo, Yuet Teng, Pooi Ting, Tze San, Chee Yang and two new friend cum kiddos, Michael and Stephen.
Though not everyone was there, but i can really feel the fun and joy there. It's really nice to actually see them again, all together. We got a feeling that this might be the last time we would actually meet up like this before we head on further for our studies. Some might be staying here, well, mostly all of them. I'll be goin to US later. Jun i'm not sure and etc.
At first, I thought it would be boring for me cause they are mostly from ACS and they might have their ACS gang and stuff like that but no, it was a party where everyone enjoyed trully and fully. At first, Stephen and Michael do not really dare to talk much which I have no idea why but i think they're shy. But later on, haha, here comes the noise. Haha. Then Tze San was chasing Isabelle, and then fooling around and kacau me.
It was noise and noise. It was not that bad but later, when Jun was cutting he birthday cake, suddenly the naughty Stephen started to fool around with the icing of the cake. Chee Yang, Tze San and I was hiding far far away from them. Suddenly Tze San came back with icing and pat it on my face. I was pissed though but it was kinda fun. I recall back how I kena on my burfday last year and during Chris's party. I was yelling at Stephen and then the smart fella kenakan me back and started chasing after me to put icing on me. Then the war started between me and Stephen.. haha. But in the end, we stopped cause Siew Yen begged me to. But too bad, naughty Stephen kacau Siew Yen this time. So war started yet again....
Well, in short, it was War WAr and War between ACS and MGS today. Haha. Luckily I didn't have to do much cause I got Chee Yang to help me bbq some sausages and meatballs. Wai Ling for lamb and beef. And of course, the lovely Stephen for being such a gentleman to bbq a piece of chicken wing for me. And of course, my lovely daddy, Tze San for forcing me to eat the crabstick, sausages, meatballs and chicken wing that he bbq for me. I was so bloated when I went home just now... plus the piece of cake I ate...whew!
Anywayz, it's a nice party and I really enjoyed it! Luckily I went man! God bless!!

Whew, after a week or resting from a long and tiring journey, it’s time to start BLOGGING or else when I see Elwyn in KL, he will kejar me man…
Well, seriously speaking, the trip in China was fun. I mean, at first, I thought, you know, China is still China.

Well, the Jiuxiang cave and the Stone forest in Kunming was nice. Mun Ee even said, the Stone Forest looks like the Stone Henge of Asia… hahaha, which is quite true. Then we went to Lijiang, by flight. When on board, oh my God, the crew was so leng chai. He looks like Wang Lee Hom man…. Ok la, drop that part of. When arrived, we went to interesting places like the Black Dragon Pool and the Ancient City. Well, still nothing that scares me off but one interesting fact was the old ladies there, since they got nothing to do, they danced their traditional Naxi dance in the ancient city, which I think is pretty interesting.
Moving on, the next day we went to Shangri-La… haha, the same name as Lee Hom’s album. Well, that part was the funny part. Upon arrival, we went to one of the hotels and went to pee pee la. And the guys look so much different from us Malaysia Chinese. Later on, I went to a Tibetan House for a party, and seriously, they looked so different form us. The house is a bit like rumah panjang but a smaller version. And yeah, I kena pikat there, not exagerating but it’s true. That guy, dunno why suddenly wanna kenakan me. At first it was those Tibetan girls who pour our drinks or should I say wine for us. then suddenly this crazy fella, a guy, not to say he’s crazy la but he came to me and add on wine for me and my friend. And there, he started. Say wanna drink with me..seriously, he drank my friend’s wine, bottoms up man. I can’t cuz it’s a bit too strong. Then he say wanna dance with me la…gosh, crazy man. Then the dance floor started…wow, it was seriously a crazy party man where all the elders started dancing. Then the crazy guy, went into one changing room and started talking in Tibetan language and I have no idea what the hell he said man…. But who cares! But the disco dance floor started and everyone started dancing. Before we left, the crazy Tibetan guy, went crazy I assume, he grabbed me and he didn’t intend to let me go. Crazy man!! But in the end, he let me go la. And my crazy parents, didn’t help me when I was in trouble…… meanie parents!!!
Haha, but it was fun. Oh ya forgot to mention about their sucky toilets. The Tibetan house toilet sucks man. Words can’t even describe the sucky toilet. But like duh, this is a very interesting experience.
Next, went back to Lijiang and stuff. Well, here and there, we experienced toilets without doors, toilets without flush, toilets with sucky smell. But still, we manage to find a 5 star toilet. And Malaysians, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT MALAYSIAN TOILETS. IT’S WAY MUCH BETTER THAN CHINA TOILETS!!!!
But still, in conclusion, this trip to China is really an eye opener for me. Rupa rupanya there is still ulu places in China. Though it’s ulu, but people lived a simple and happy life. No hectic, no worries. But one thing bad about the places I went, in Lijiang, Shangri-La and Dali, men do not need to work. Women will do everything. Which I think its discrimination, and I do think it’s really bad. Shouldn’t it be the other way round? Ha, but that’s the way it is.
Oh and I learned a few words from them and I do think it’s really funny. Below it’s a list of words.

Weird but I do find it funny. In Kunming, their main minority is Han people. In Lijiang is the Naxi group. In Shangri-La is the Tibetan and in Dali, is the Bai minority. Well, surprisingly, in Lijiang itself, they have more than 22 minorities but the main one is Naxi group. Whew, what an experience in China….hahaha
