I'm still here!!! Alive and Kicking..,

I know I know its been a while since i last updated my blog but then again. A lot have been happening to me for the past week so here goes.

After finnaly completing my medical stuff i went down 2 KL on tuesday. Reached PJ and rested. Nothing exciting happened la...

Then came Wednesday when YR and I went to hand up our Medical+Visa stuff to Miss Kalis and as she sat there going through our details. She cleared YR and mine and just as she looked through my passport, she said i do not have enough 6 months left after i come in May. So i hv 2 renew my passport even B4 it expired. SUCKY!!! 300 just flew off the window. sigh. but it was fast. I did it at 11.30am and was told that i can pick it up by 1.30pm. Thats like 2 hours and its done wei=D Malaysia has really improved=D

Picked up the passport and had 2 redo the visa application again so hv 2 go all thw way 2 the office and do and my my does technology hate me! I filled in the form 3 times and the next screen that came put was 'SERVICE UNAVAILABLE'. Frastrated, i ask YR 2 do it and she pass wif only 1 TRY!!!! stupid technology.

The next day saw everybody in HM A5-1 coming back. Jinni reached 1st the came Rachel and then we told that Hugh wanted us the babysit his GF at Midvalley till he arrives at 10pm. We did just that and came home 2 find that there were 12 ppl going 2 crash in our place that night. That night A5-1 really felt like a shelter home for the homeless..LOL

Went for the Teaching Practise workshop on Friday=D Glad for Jinni and Rachel that they got YR and my place at CHS. All things worked out la in the end. Took an incomplete class photo but what the hack, all the ppl that mattered to me were there(except Jinni and Rachel who was in school...sigh). Spent the night at Sze and the gang's new place. Went shopping b4 that and man did i realise i was really and old man and a potential father figure....is that a good thing or a bad thing? u decide=D

Saturday was cool. Had fun at the bazaar at KLPac. I so should have bought the feather hairband wif Grace!!! regret regret...LOL

Went to Sze's church on sunday and finally met the Yap's as a family. Uncle David was fun and Aunty Jenny was cool. We went 2 Ijok for dinner and everybody was staring at us like we were aliens or exhabits just because we were the most multi-racial table around. When la will the Rakyat stop doing that and accept that this is Malaysia and move on...All that aside, the food was GGGOOOOODDD!!! hehe

Went 2 Sri Aman on monday and man were the girls quick at spotting trainees. As soon as we walk in only they were like:' Look new Trainee teachers!!" WOW those hounds can really smell fresh blood man!!! LOL...Met other trainees in Sri Aman and found that they have a room specially for trainess only. Its like staying in your face: "Ur not good enough for the staff room!!"...scary...well i have another year till that becomes my problem. hehe.Good luck girls and take care. GOD SPEED!!!=D

Staying over at The girls new place was FUN!!! they have hot showers and TV and sofa couch which i dun hv back in PJ. I was so comfortable there that i started claiming all those as mine. HEHE..sorry la Sze=D

I reach Pg at 6 something. was so tired but had a family makan togeher b4 Daddy flew off 2 Melaka=D

So thats my adventure for the week. Too long 2 go into every detail but hey thats another story rite?

Till then. Ciao=D

Immunisation sucks!!!

ITS FINALLY DONE!!!!

After all the running around and hunting for a good bargain its finally over!!!

Now my body is filled with the vacsine for Maningistis and MMR and trust me, IT NO FUN!!!!!!!

I feel like throwing up and sometimes headache will loom occationally but i shall reassure myself that its nothing more than its side effects and it will soon pass... What sucks now is that i have 2 abstain from stuff like seafood and whatever food stuff that is deemed 'TOXIC' by my mum. I'm apparently bound 2 Koay Teow Th'ng and Moi for at least 2 days and IT SUCKS!!!! I WANT MY CHAR KOAY TEOW, OR CHIEN, HOKKIEN MEE, CURRY MEE and BLA BLA BLA...sigh='(

On a brighter side, it can now go 2 the US Embassy and hand up whatever crap medical stuff that they want from me and allowed access now. Hopefully the US dream will still happen as now Malaysia is in Tier 3 of violating the dun know what Human Rights for Refuges thingy and in Tier 3, exchange programmes MAY be cancelled. So whatever la. Jadi Jadi la, Tak jadi. Pi teaching practice saja...LOL

Well i've been thinking of some stuff and dun know whether its a good thing or notbut hey, thats another story...

Till then. CIAO=D

Minnesota State University, Mankato a.k.a MMSU

YEAP ITS OFFICIAL!!!

I'm going there for 1 year(actually 10 months nia) and will be flying off on the 17-8-2009.

Went down to KL on thursday and knowing me, there alwasys drama involve.(will only disclose in person) because of the briefing with Ms Kalis on friday. Spent the night at m old PJ house.

Picked up YR at 8am and only managed to reach MACEE at 9am. Man the traffic in KL is NUTS tell u! When Ms Kalis brought out both our welcome packs, there it was, stated in capitol letters:

MINNESOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, MANKATO

Well now i have to do my medical check up and get jabs for immunizations that i dun have under Minnesota State law. Man it sucks!!!

Met up with Khai Shing, Khai Sheng, Rachel and Yu Han. They shared their experience and told us loads of stuff which i will not bore u with. It was good to finally meet them.

Did UM stuff d. Looks like I'll really not be doing teaching practise with the rest. It just like dawn on me when i sent in those applications for Penarikkan Diri that i will be postponing my life in UM for a year and come back to recontinue it after US. WALAUEH!!!! From UM to MMSU, guess i can never get away from the M&U when it comes to uni education...LOL(lame i know).

Nonetheless, i'm grateful for all the thing the Good Lord My God has done for me. Psalm 121 is the best now for my kind of situation now as i can do nothing but look to HIM when i need help...

Well, thats it for now. Tired from all the travelling back for KL. Ciao

I need 2 sent in letter for postponent for uni, letter for PTPTN and everything else but no confirmation letter means no go...When will it come leh? I need to proceed with my stuff wei...U know these procedures take YEARS to do 1 la with our super 'efficient' civil servants...sigh

On a lighter note...Home alone today..so fun!!! Nobody's home. Everybody is either at college, Perlis or Melacca so i can finally get that peace and quite that i crave!!! althought its only for that brief 6 hours but it was wat i needed 2 calm myself, enjoy the time alone and do my thing(i.e MOVIEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!)...hehe...Choose to be a homey cause in 2 months time i wanna be home pun no home 2 stay in d...oh well, just live the days that i still have la....

Finally manage 2 establish contact and she cleared a few doubt that i had for so long! Know some stuff that i'm uber happy about and can't wait to experience it myself!!! Faster August Faster Come!!!! Its gonna be FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Till then...Ciao:P

Moved out...

I moved out today...

Left the place that i called home for the past 1 year. It was tough...

After an oven, 1 matress, 1 bucket, 1 laudry bag, 3 bags and 4 boxes later, i'm done! Its so fast! I guess I was living a very simple live after all...

Gonna miss the place, the people and the familiar surroundings. Hopefully after a year later i can move back, if the conditions are still the same like now....hopefully...

Its just sad to leave PJ and KL after being here for 3 years albeit all the complaining and all;P

Nostalgia lingers....
