finally!

Finally, ravi finished his last paper in MMU. Now I can add him and several others into my Hall of Fame.

First up, Ravi of course. The first time I came to MMU, I stayed in EP (Block A 0308) and he stayed in room 3. Unlike, ah gou and ah mao, I didnt meet him and Hei Lek properly during the first half of my first semester due to me eating alone and sleeping early. Then, ah gou and ah mao told me room 3 tenants are very fierce. Supported by ah tat (which I havent find out his words are only 20% believable) I believed them. Then, I found a statistics book outside which I need and I asked the everyone else except room 3 whether it was theirs. Then, I went to room 3 at last and asked. Hei Lek was sleeping, so I asked Ravi. Then suddenly Hei Lek with a frustrated voice said in mandarin "who o? keep making noise. I cant sleep". That time I was like, shit man...shouldnt have asked. Then Ravi replied shortly that that book dont belong to anyone. After that, I dont dare to talk to them until after midterm break. After midterm break, on the way back to my room from ah gou and ah mao room, I saw Ravi reading Bleach, then we talked a bit. That is when i found out that I got bullshitted by the cat, dog and hippo. Now, he is like a big bro to me.

Next is Chu Hui and Pei Lin. I met them here.

Ah Tat is the one who introduce them to me during the event. I was writing on the whiteboard used as scoreboard on the floor while both of them was the table official. Once in awhile, they will check with me the score whether they tele or not. Then they also asked me questions like where I was from etc etc. That time damn paiseh talk to them. Then Pei Lin will give some sarcastic comment and look away laughing (her pattern, until now also the same. once you miss you wont know what she say). I find her character funny at that time. I still remember after that we went to eat at Highland. I took damn lot of food that time and had a hard time finishing it. Chu Hui asked me whether I can finish it or not. To not lose my cool, I said can and slowly push it down my throat. Pei Lin gave another sarcastic comment again but I couldnt get it cause she said it while facing away again. The next day I saw Chu Hui at Mesra and that was when I got to know her name. After that, the next time saw her again was when she sold sweets for some subject. There was lollipop wrapped like a bouquet of flowers and packets of sweets. Unfortunately, I was and still is single so I just bought the packet of sweets instead (not really packet, I just chose 10 and paid her the money). Once awhile Pei Lin will come out and chat with ah tat. Only when they joined the basketball committee the next year that I really got to know them and hang out with them. For Chu Hui, last time she was more of like the quiet type, very polite but now...I think mix too much with us boys or maybe now got Ravi backup already, she become guai lan already. Pei Lin on the other hand, did not change much. Just that now I am able to catch all her sarcastic remarks, haha.

When joining the committee, I got to meet Irene also. I still remember what question I asked her. Because I was not familiar with being an interviewer, I didnt ask anything. Then, suddenly ah tat force me to ask a question. So, I asked Irene, "If you are a treasurer and you suddenly lost the money, what would you do?" After she answered the question, the whole room went silent. That was when I felt damn awkward asking such question. Later, found out that she stays in Istana Melaka when she invited us to her birthday party. Her house...is like perfect. But for me, I prefer not to have until three floors. Other than that, wonderful! At her house, she is different from when she is outside. She is more...how to say...her actions are more controlled, like the princess in "Princess Diaries". Oh, also found out when we went Tioman that she gets hyper when she drinks. Unlike her usual composed self. Her jokes can be cold sometimes too...cause nobody understands them. So, once awhile must laugh also eventhough dont understand. Overall, she is a quite a nice person to know.

Actually, I am glad to know all of them. Great friends I have ^^

Ah Tat, Ah Mao and Ah Gou

This brings me back to my first day in MMU. I just finished my first day of orientation. It was time to look for a place to stay. An orientation committee introduced to me Ixora and EP. By chance I chose EP and soon I was at EP's front door. Many parents together with their kids were there registering. I lined up and then asked for empty rooms. For Block A (guys block at that time), most of the vacant rooms was facing outside except for one. Without much thought, I chose that one empty spot left facing inside, apartment A-03-08 Room 1. Funny if I had chose Ixora or any other apartment besides A-03-08, I wont meet up with any of them and I wont be writing this blog either. Anyway, I went in my room and first person I met was of course my roommate. I remembered how he said, "paiseh paiseh" and shifted his stuff from the empty bed....to the middle of the room =.= His hair back then was long and curly. Enough about him, later two people came back. They stood at the door frame and introduced themselves as Ah Tat and Jackson. The Ah Tat back then was the fit type of Ah Tat xD Since I had no PC of my own yet, he invited me to go to his room if I felt bored or I need to use a computer. That day, I didnt went out of my room except for the toilet. I could hear laughter from Room 4 (Mao's and Gou's room) and I felt like joining them but I am afraid I might feel sesat being there and they might feel awkward that I am there, so I continued to stay in my room. Went to eat for dinner at a chinese shop my mom took me to eat for lunch (now became BATAVIA). Came back and lay on my bed. While I lay on my bed I felt scared and very insecure, everything moved so quickly. I got my offer letter just 2 days ago and here I am already, in this new environment, far away from home, alone. It was only about 8.30 that time, then I heard a knock on my door and my roommate opened it. I pretended to sleep because at that time, tears was rolling down my cheek already. They wanted to ask me to go with them for dinner and my roommate told them I was asleep already. So, they left and I fell asleep.

Next morning was second day of orientation. I got ready and to my surprise, the two Room 4s got ready too. I thought they were already staying here for quite sometime. So, I waited for them and went to the orientation together. Ah Gou introduced himself as Eric. Ah Mao was quite hesitant introducing himself. "I am Alston...you want to call me Wan Yen also can". When I introduced myself as Kuang Te there were surprised too. They asked me for an English name but I said I dont have one. By this time, we were walking in front of FBL towards old FOSEE, climbing the slight incline of the slope. When saving their phone numbers, I saved them as Jing Hong and Wan Yen =) At the orientation, we split as I sat in the front seat and they sat at the back. We met again briefly during break. The mihun sucked but I ate two packets cause I was hungry. That night I ate dinner on my own as well but this time I did not feel so lonely anymore. They made me promise to eat with them the next day and........that was how we became A-03-08. Jackson did asked me what Ah Mao and Ah Gou intro themselves as, he laughed at what I told him and introduced them as Ah Mao and Ah Gou and that is what we call them till today.

For Hei Lek and Ravi...next sem....xD

A tribute to Ah Mong (Chuin Yan)

If you are thinking, "WHAT?! He was BURIED ALIVE?!!!" the answer is "YOUR HEAD LA!".
Today was the last day he wass officially with us. By that I mean he is going for his industrial training next sem and then graduating. Show you all somemore highlights of him...

the pic above might be the reason why they started calling him ah mong

This is how I somehow got to know him.

After getting to sort of talk to Ravi and Hei Lek (still felt awkward talking to both of them then), after that one day, Ah Mong started showing up at EP. On that day, I pass through Gou and Mao's room and found that there is a stranger I didnt know. Being as I am, (I paiseh with new people one okay... xD) I sort of ignore the guy, went to the toilet and back to my room while hearing them laughing out loud in there. Days passed on...most of them with him around and then one day....I cant really remember who's car it was and where we were planning to go; I was in a Kancil (I think) with Ravi driving, Hei Lek in the front passenger sit and Mong and me behind. Ravi drove to Ixora cause I overheard them talking and Mong said that he needed to get some stuff (dont see me quiet quiet so so dei like that, actually I am listening). Then when Mong went out, I ask Ravi,

Me, "He is your coursemate ah?"

Ravi, "Yeah but different intake"

Me, "What is his name? Ah Mong?"

Both Ravi and Hei Lek laugh.

Me, "No meh? I hear you all call him Ah Mong."

Ravi, "No la" (but he didnt tell me Ah Mong's name =.=)

Me, "Then how to call him?"

Hei Lek, "Ah Mong la! Hehe..."

I dont know when we started talking but I know from then on I called him Ah Mong! xD

This fella is the only Arsenal fan I know in Malacca. Others semua MU, MU...sibeh mou heng.

But, he likes to emo here, emo there. Now better already la can say but still got emo.

.

I remember got one time they pulled an all nighter (I tak boleh tahan, so sleep first) then in the morning we go eat dim sum. At that time he always wear cap one, and on that morning he wore a cap too. They were talking talking then the topic turned to Ah Mong wearing a cap. So , I sort of generally asked "people that didnt bathe always wear cap one huh? Ah Mong always wear cap that means didnt bathe la...haha..." (my god...the joke was so damn lame and cold, I laughed there alone =.=). Then someone diao me (I think Jackson) and everyone walk quiet quiet.

.

.

Can say this sem only I really get to know him because we stay together. Last time when in UG still got little bit paiseh paiseh. Now...sohai here sohai there, ***i here ***i there, and so on so forth. Became his punching bag pulak...

.

.

Okay la...let's all wish him good luck and "You better call me to your wedding!" LoL...take care man...

*I know you want to cry already...no need hide hide...wakaka*

He came and left a mark in our Uni life

Today my roommate left us for Cyber. He is pursuing a degree in Accounting. The course is offered only in June for the June intake students. Being a January intake student, he have to shift to Cyber. Last night we had our last dinner eating ikan bakar then our last supper at the mamak stall beside I-relax.

When I first met him after my NS, I did not really like him because he seems to have comments about almost everything. After awhile I think somebody told him that, then he quiet down for sometime. Actually I prefer him commenting rather than keeping quiet. Later, I think I got used to it I dont mind him commenting anymore. It's something like immunity...haha

After sometime I find that he is quite alright. As a roommate, so far the best roommate compared to the other three before this (Mr. WhyHeGotSoManyThings, Mr. Tembikai and Mr. WhyHeSleepSoEarly). Will miss playing Pro-soccer evolution xD

For this type of times, I have a very suitable song. "Seasons in the sun by Westlife"
Good luck roommate!

Argh...goodbyes...damn
