You're Not Gonna Believe This... :)

Hi guys!

I am back in KL!

Well.. Klang, to be more precise.

Now, before you all go, "HUH?!", let me explain...

Through a series of miscommunications and "I don't know, go ask them when you register"s, I finally figured out that it would be far more practical for me to repeat STPM than to do the foundation course.

Here's why...

1. When I asked the people manning the office if it were possible to only take certain pertinent subjects, the answer was, "I'm not sure, ask the admissions people when you register". [Point of info: It costs almost RM20000 for a full year in foundation (STPM costs RM195 to register for). ]
2. So, showed up at the uni, was rushed into registration by some pretty flustered personnel. (Which was pretty stupid, considering the fact that I needed to have my questions answered BEFORE I registered.) But anyway.. Turns out there are no exemptions in subjects in the foundation course. I'd HAVE to take Physics, a subject I have not touched or thought about in more than 2 years.
3. Now, if you were me, would you rather go through something that's already familiar, or waste precious brushing-up time trying to re-learn something that you've completely thrown out of your mind?
4. PLUS, if, something should happen again (like the migraine attack last year), I'd have to re-do the foundation programme because of the fact that the qualifications is useless for anywhere other than the uni (another RM20000), as opposed to spending another RM195 if such a thing should happen again while re-sitting STPM.

So, finally concluded (after consulting with dad and my uncle Berty) that the best thing to do was just to come back and retake the exam. I mean, what do I have to lose? Maybe another year?

I know this whole thing sounds like a regular fiasco, but I can honestly say that had my questions been answered in due time, I wouldn't have made the decision to go. However, it was quite a good experience coz I got to see the campus - which is actually a really nice campus. Or it will be once it's fully up and running. I can safely say that I wouldn't mind doing my degree there at all.

Oh, and the best part - I got new clothes, new shoes and a new laptop out of this whole mess :) So I suppose it weren't all for nothing. Hehe..

So looks like I'll be seeing more of you guys than you thought! Poor souls... Heehee!

Well, toodles for now! Just thought I'd update y'all.

WooOOOOooHOOooooOO!! :D

The rest of it was magnifique! Haha.. as you can well see from the chicken bone on the plate. Heehee. In case you were wondering, though.. No, that ain't no dining table! :P

And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going

Totally love the movie version of this song.. Jennifer Hudson really did it justice! Made me want to cry, she did! Esp when you find out the reason Effie was "sick".. So so so sad!

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I dont wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me, oohh ooh mm mm
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we've had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there

Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way Im living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream, and shout like you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm living without you
Oh, I'm not living without you, not living without you
I dont wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me, yes you are
Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

You're gonna love me

Cookout!

From Left to Right: David, Ash, me, Jono and Ezra!

Today was fun. The best RSVP team on the planet finally got together for the first time since the 21st of March. God knows, I missed them! We had so much of fun, what with lunches and daily ogling sessions at Decanter, making silly jokes, discussing our various relationships (mainly Ezra's :P) or the lack, thereof.. It felt like we'd known each other for years, instead of just for 3 weeks.

Anyway, we finally had the cook-out we've been wanting to have for the past couple of weeks or so. God, we made so much of food for 5 people, it was unbelievable! Haha.. 2 types of spaghetti (arrabbiatta and my own "experiment" with dried prawn chilli paste), grilled chicken ala Ezra, fresh garden salad and ice cream with Hersheys chocolate sauce for dessert.

Woooh!

Talk about an endorphin-releasing meal :P Anyhow, it all turned out pretty darn well.. Although it's a shame.. I forgot to remind Jon to take pictures of the feast we whipped up. Sigh... Oh well. There'll be a next time!

It really was awesome to just lepak with the gang again. Hopefully we'll see more of 'em.

I think I really will invite myself over for tea at Ash's next week :)

Of Stress-related Silliness, and Cuteness

This is what folks do when they're stressed senseless :P

We went to see Mr. Bean's Holiday last Thursday. God, it felt good to laugh my head off after a month of little sleep and plenty of stress. I absolutely loved the opera scene. Rowan Atkinson at his best, methinks! :)

I started this one night when I absolutely could NOT sleep (methinks it was remnants from the "an hour of sleep is sufficient" days.. lol). Me and Jono finished this 1000 piece jigsaw in 13 hours. We is proud of us, we is! :D

This is Cutie #1 - Ryan. He's the eldest of 4, and a real smarty-pants. Gotta wear glasses though, poor kid.. This is what too much PS2 and computer games does to you.. :P

Brandon! Cutie #2! The Burposaurus! Haha.. That bit's my fault, actually. I told them a story about a kid who kept burping so much he turned into a Burposaurus at Christmas, and til now Brandon-da-man can't stop acting like one. Sigh.

Ooh! This is my little darling Ethan a.ka. Datuk a.k.a Cutie #3! Boy, does this kid have a mouth on him! He'll cheek you no end if you let him.. And more even if you don't! Haha.. He still loves messing up my hair. Naughty boy! He's got one thing in common with his brothers, though - they're all typical Fernandez men: totally NOT morning people! :D

This little rascal is Ashley (Cutie # 4). Or better known as Mak Cik (aunty). She is the master of staring down her nose at someone, and she's not even 3! But when she warms up to you, she's lots of fun to play with AND to talk to, coz you just never know what'll come out of her mouth next! :)

Ah yes. Mak Cik also likes looking at pictures of herself. Which is why there're more of her than of the 3 :)

And finally for the cutie of the week.. *drumroll* Cosmos the Chihuahua (I think my aunt has a sense of humour when it comes to doggie names :P) He's also known as Cos, Cossy, and "thilly dog" :) He's a real scaredy cat (sorry, Cos, I meant dog..) but he's the cutest thing ever! And he loves cuddles and pets. I just love the little tongue sticking out like that.. makes him look even cuter! :)
