..of KTT, PCP, and such..

The road leading down the path of success is a road that is least taken and the most challenging.

That was what crossed my mind as I took this picture. You sure you ready to enter the mind of a nerdy scholar? If you are, Read on ahead =D


Gossip Guy here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of KTT's elite(nono not the lecturers and Datin lol).

The picture says it all. This is for all you Liverpool fans out there.


We're featured in KTT's website. Oh what an honour. And Joel copied the pic and edited it and used the picture as a background in one of the PC's in the library.


Me and Daniel in blazers. Felt like debators again.


Me looking very uhh weird with my classmates


A tornado swept through our apartment. Normally its very neat and tidy kayyy.


This is especially for a certain wild boar. Just got the pic from the old newspaper. LOL.


KTT oh my KTT. Lacks entertainment thats for sure and now they even killed my/our passion for volleyball. After the hardwork we put in to learn the game, they demolished the volleyball court. Planning to put a Futsal court it seems. Don't they know there are like 100++ people playing futsal every evening? It's gona be so packed. Anyway we've shifted to Badminton nowadays. If even that they demolish then I don't know what to do, other than jog.

Our only form of nightlife and we get old sofas and....


....a 42 inch plasma tv. Yeah right, more like a small 15 inch TV shared by 30 people watching a football match where u can hardly see the ball.


On top of that, I replaced all of my guitar strings because the last one had snapped. Barely a few days later, 2 of them snapped. And while taking them out I pricked my finger. And I had to play for CF the next day. Was really frustrated at the guitar. Had to resort to the only alternative which was Choong's guitar. I had to learn 3 songs that I didn't know at all, get the songs, get the chords and play it in 3 days. That was super hectic but thank God I pulled it together. I'm sure He was helping me all the way.

This is 'entertainment' in KTT. Lost their sanity already.


Next was Hui Fen's birthday. She's such a nice and kind-hearted girl but her crazy housemates planned a crazy birthday bash for her. Think I'll let the photo's do the talking =D (Thx to the camerawomen who risked their lives to capture these scenes of terror and devastation, Li Yan, Sarah, Joanna and I'm not sure who else sorry if I missed you out)

Cuteys with the cake. Sharon camera here la hello.


Look who is far away from the action. Miss wildboar. Ran away at first hint of disgustingness.


Christine: OMG I look so cuteeee in the pic.
Joanna: Oh dear, I closed my eyes again.


Tangga 11's Weapons/Chemicals of mass disgustion(is that even a word). Me n Selvan even added ikan bilis in our bottles for extra zest =D


Total weapons/chemicals. Biohazard warning.


Even at times like this, scholars(Joel) has to read a book and not waste precious time. HAHA I'm just kidding of course.


One of the first to get wet other than the bday girl is me. I wanted to fake pouring water on Joey and she squeezed the bottled towards my face. Marked the beginning of every1 spraying each other =D


The Hawaiian Shorts Devils. Craziest 2 girls. Beware of them sneaking up 2 u.


Christine! The flour is to throw at people not to eat.


Sharon: It was this big, I SWEAR!
Selvan: O.o really?
Shawn: *kena attack by Keshan*


And SuSu thought she was safe standing at the corner all clean and tidy. Think again =D


Messy yet still had time to whip up an elegant pose.


Sharon: Joel got me in the face with flour WAWAWAWA
Joel: *sniggers* Hehehehe
Shawn: Not bothered


I look like the Phantom of the Opera here. And Joey is super flourified.


The messy birthday girl, Hui Fen. Truly a birthday to remember.


Us 3 after the party. Just before going to mandi. Selvan control macho woowoo.


Next comes Activities of Apartment 11-2-A1 aka PCP's 2nd home

Our kitchen outside the apartment. Looks really cosy. Thx to Dhana.


Keshan's chicken chop in the toaster. For supper.
.
1. We watched the last race of F1 at 2am on Dhana's laptop. We all thought Massa was going 2 lose then the 2nd last lap I think, someone overtook Hamiton and we were
pratically screaming! Then on the last lap Hamilton overtook one guy cause he didn't switch to wet tires. Damn. What a let down.

Supper is ready. With Barley drink made by Dhana. Seeedaaaap.


2. Normally we(3 of us) would go play sports in the evening, makan downstairs then head off to the CR. At 12 go back to the apartment and have supper till 12.30 or 1 then continue studying. Regular routine. Now joined sometimes by Dhana.

Us frying noodles. Okay fine, we were just heating it up haha.


Nah we're actually frying fries. Unhealthy betul la we all. And someone konon on a diet.


3. When the insect invasion came, we closed the sliding door and switched on the balcony light and watch the geckos/cicaks eat the insects. This happened at 3.45am. Over studying till we go nuts.
This was a lunch to remember. Me n Keshan shared this.


4. We've got a semi-auto washing machine now so those dobi/handwas
hing days are over! =D Only thing missing is a microwave oven hmmmmm. Haha and a water heater.


Now comes PCP's visits to 11-2-A1
In 1 month(since the last blog post) he visited us twice already. Think hes taking the "Love thy neighbour" commandment a tad bit too seriously.

1st visit. It was a rainy night. Wind was howling and lightning flashed across the night sky, ahh what the heck. It was a normal night around 11.45pm. Suddenly Dhana dropped his bottle on the floor. We didn't even notice and was looking at pics of Hui Fen's bday party. Suddenly there was a loud bang on the door, we all kept quiet for like half a minute then started laughing at him. We imagined him waking up, walking all the way up half naked, banging on our door, then going back to sleep. Pointless don't you think? Think we're scared of something.

Our new extra thick Solex lock. It'll keep PCP out but might keep us in again.


2nd visit. The 3 of us were in the apartment with Joel and Choong. So Joel wanted to go back and was about to unlock the grill when Mr. PCP comes up the stairs. He asked Joel to open the padlock. Joel pulak dunno what to do, turned around and called me(why me). So obviously we didn't want anymore damage to our property like our table, so we didn't unlock it. He said "Siapa buang tisu!?' As usual we don't know what he was rambling about so we said nobody threw any tissue. Then he was like "Siapa buang. baik pergi kutip sekarang! You, you, you semua 5, you jaga." Yeah whatever la old man. Jaga your own tepi kain la. We ain't scared of you, old fart anymore. So we went out to the balcony and saw a few tissues around his car and one right on his roof. No wonder he was mad. Some idiot must have done it and he blamed us. Piece of shit.

And we thought, yeah t
hat was that. Until the next morning that is.

It was a Sunday, and the day before our Physics exam. Chai came over to take his laptop back in the morning. We gave him the keys to the padlock but he couldnt open it. Then all of us tried and evidently it was jammed. We did all we could with safety pins and screwdrivers and cooking oil but it didn't work. We were locked in. Thanks to those who offered to buy us lunch =D Joel and Chua didn't believe we were locked in and told other people we were lying. Thanks a LOT. In the end the warden came with a super huge metal cutter(about 5 feet long) and me and Selvan was standing at the grill watching it lol. He asked us to back off and luckily we did. Bits of twisted metal flew in every direction when he cut through it. Guess we should'nt have gotten such a thick padlock. Well now we've gotten a new padlock and guess what. It's even thicker =.= yay us.

Andrew playing the guitar for the last time =[ He composed a new song for the farewell. Super talented and an 'awesome' guy. He loves to use that word lol.


Me, Andrew and Keshan at the farewell. You will be missed dearly.


Then came the seniors' farewell. We had a farewell kinda thing in CF. The sl
ideshow was really amazing and the songs were extremely good. Whoever put it together, well done! Even though Andrew's gone, we shall continue to pray for him and all the others and hope that Susu will be a great leader(or an even greater leader) like Andrew.

Since Joel kept on going in other peoples' pictures, we decided that all of us turn our cameras onto him. And this is the result.


In conjuction with the seniors leaving, everyone had their hands full(literally) carrying old books, washing machines, fridges, shelfs, racks and God knows what else. Us 3 were like professional movers or something. We carried a washing machine, a fridge and a book shelf between us. Supposed to go help carry another fridge but we were unavailable due to unforseen circumstances AKA parang locked us in.


EXAMS!!!

Exams = Overstudied but feel like nothing is going in + Tired + Panda Eyed + Lack Of Sleep + On the Verge of Insanity + Major KIASUISM

Next comes the exams period. I remember vividly JunKai reminding us not to be stressed out before entering the hall and to sleep at 11pm and we thought of sticking to it but it all flew out the window. Armed with nescafe, most of us had almost sleepless nights trying to cram as much info as we could.

This is what happens when you don't sleep properly at night.


Nice cup of Brandy and Chemistry. LOL it's just coke don't worry.


Nah, Mummy. Proof I'm studying. And it was a candid picture btw.


And when I was studying I noticed this near the ceiling. Thought I was dreaming. WHO WROTE MY NAME THERE!


Studying can even tear best friends apart. (as shown here)


Dhana's, Selvan's and My bed. Exam time. All studying in the hall.


1. Physics Exam Mostly from past years. Should have done more past years. (In mid sem no past years at all. Total opposite this time)

2. Bio Exam Did a lot of past years since Mid Sem a lotta past years and even in AS the questions repeat. Ignored someone's teacher's "tips". Ended up, ZERO past years and few out of syllabus questions. (Mid Sem 100% past years. Opposite again. There goes the 98 marks out the window)
All studying for Maths and me busy taking their pics.


3. Chemistry Exam Most nervous/Thought to be hardest. Paper 2 was from past years and I did it on Saturday. Barely remembered it. (Mid Sem no past years. Opposite again
I see a trend here. LOL. Anyway hope for all the best and hope streaming is just an old wives tale.

So me and Selvan when we're bored. Simply miss call people at 2am. Then most of the time Susu would call back only. And that would be a super funny convo =D


After exams we scooted off to MV as early as we could and saw the James Bond movie. 12 guys and 1 girl(don't ask any questions please). Barely had time for shopping. But we bought earrings =D haha.

2nd day after exams most of the people balikked already so I went out with Joey, her sis and Daniella(pardon the typo) to Alamanda Putrajaya. The complex was okay-ish with bad directions and we wandered around aimlessly quite a lot. Then we went to Sushi King for lunch just cause I said I didn't really like sushi. It was coz the last time I had it was when I was really little. Suprisingly it tasted really nice =D and I can't wait to go again, though its pricey for small town folks. So gotta thank Joey and her sis -lignin/Yin Nin- especially for reigniting my love for sushi(okay not that much love la lol). Aiya we should have taken pics! Wasted. Think Lignin suggested but we didn't take pics in the end. Sushi-ing experience lol.


Last day I spent in MV(yet again) from 10 till 5. Had to drag along my luggage all the way and my shoulders ached all the way. Watched Twilight all alone(how sad T.T) cause I was all alone waiting for my parents to pick me up from MV. Girls watch the show mostly cause of Edward Cullen and guys watch it also for Edward Cullen. Girls go gaga over him and guys try 2 see what he does to make them go gaga =D

Saw this spectacular image in the night sky on the way home from KL. The heavens were smiling down upon us =D


Anyways its holidays now and I should be doing Organic Chem but I'm too lazy to start. Too busy enjoying the holidays. So thats all for now.

XOXO you know you love me.

That was soooo gay. Till the next post. Ciaoz.


PS : Happy Birthday Selvan!! Aka Cow =D
