Nothing much. Just random rants because I'm slightly stressed out.
Other than the fact that college is 'happening' to me. All else seems okay. Well, sort of. Class, normally from morning to noon. Finishes around 3, to 4, to 5. Depending on the lecturer, and the amount of workload. Sometimes earlier, if our lecturer is really hungry or tired his, or herself.
Well, today was pretty much screwed up. We had Analytical Drawing class, where all my works were denied by the lecturer. She's not bad, but maybe the standard is simply too high and I just need to catch up soon. A lot of people's works were denied as well. Though I shouldn't feel too bad, its a little tough on me knowing I spent 4 hours in class drawing to get nil. Now I shall get back to work.
Also slightly stressed out for some other reason. I shall not state. But it feels like I am asking for too much now...Ah well, random ranting over and out.
Ciao, sorry no photoblog until I find time. Too lazy. Night.

Well, I will blog the 'story' and some more pictures tomorrow, but this is it for now. Enjoy!










Well, thats all for now. Will have some more up tomorrow. Till next time then! Take care, enjoy, and do leave questions! Sorry if I didn't arrange the pics!

LimKokWing, never punctual.
Well, my internet service provider people are having maintenance or something, so the net is a bit shitty at the moment.
Right.
See the Headlines? Never Punctual. Yes, despite the many promises of the lecturers of punctuality, they have been late in all events organized so far.
So, let me list the people I've met.
Jonathan, doing business course, guitarist, devoted to his music, plays Bowling for the State Team, very nice guy.
Gerald, Sabahan! Whee, Sino-Kadazan, wheee! Gamer, doing animation.
Ai Ling, the 'dai kar jie' or however you write that out in english. She looks out for the group, clubber, doing er, some design course, I think. Lol, I don't remember all.
Vivian, talkative, takes pictures, takes Mass Comm.
Odie. Yeah, that's Garfield's dog's name. She's um, MalayChinese, extreme hardcore gamer. Which scares the crap out of me sometimes. Doing Multimedia course.
Hafiz, excellent breakdancer, from what I've seen, taking sound and music. Very semangat person.
Jang, Korean buddy that speaks Chinese, Hokkien, Malay and English. Hails from Penang. Has been in Malaysia for some time.
Shinn, yes, he's that same guy from Gundam Seed Destiny! Nah, I'm pulling your leg, Jang's friend.
Ah Hao, ex-gamer...or something, now clubber, drives (yay), and friend of Jang as well.
The rest, um, tak tercatat in my brain because I don't remember everyone's name. Well, there's about 18 - 20 people in our group, but these are the ones that communicate with me more often.
Okeh. The Party Thingie. It was called Retro Fever. Rightttt. You might think 70s right? But WTF, so little people in 70s getup. It was stated there it was encouragable to wear 70s outfit to win prize or something. However...The music, wasn't 70s. Dressing, definitely not 70s. And seriously, I doubt satay is only from 70s.
So we left Desaria, my hostel, if you don't remember, around 6, many good-looking people around, trying to be as retro as possible, but some just don't fit into that category, seems like they don't care. Got up the bus, and er, some people tertinggal, and Gerald wasn't feeling well so he didn't go. Some went there on their own, or went on the 2nd bus.
Oh..and er, I was wearing some sort of bellbottom pants...with that pink shirt that I was wearing the other day if anyone recalls. Oh, and I was wearing my new ear ring. XD Will have a picture up..once I get my camera back, which should be around CNY.
Right, after arriving there, it was around 6.30. Bus service say no bus back to hostel 2am. >_> Well, thank god the student ambassadors provided bus service for us.
Back on track, waited until about 8.30 then the damn thing started. I was damned starving...
Well, watched one performance, which wasn't too bad. Three singers..I think they were called Tribe3. They sang a song for us, and hell, if you only heard the music you'd think they're Black Americans or something! (They're not!) Then they told us we could eat, so YAY. But er...you know what? They provided us with about 500 sticks of satay, ketupat, and some veggy. Thats all. Haha, since I paid RM10 for my effing ticket. I ate RM8.50 worth of satay, and then drank about RM7 worth of Ice Lemon Tea. Lol~
After that, continued watching more performance, bands, bla bla then HALT. Belly Dancer!? WTF? Yeah, her name was Maliah, or something, all the way from Saudi Arabia, but just got back from China. No, she's not a hooker. Apparently quite well known. She bellydanced, after er...the MC guy decided to do some stupid tardy dance for everyone. He also embarassed one of the new people I met. Lol~Sabahan also, from Sandakan. She er..said that he couldn't dance, because she wasn't aware she was the only one who was raising her hand when he asked 'Do you fellas think I can't dance? Raise your hand!'
Anyways, Bellydancer danced. Funny thing. *cough* Someone said this:
Person A : Mate, I think I'm gonna get a nosebleed.
Person B, dreaming, drooling.
Person B: Go ahead...you can use my sleeve if you want to...Just don't..disturb me.
XD
Imagine that. Two whites. Well, yeah, she was good looking, and her body was like -S-. S man, S. S shaped as she danced. Thats bloody scary.
After her performance, there were two famous hiphop dancers from I dunno where, who were pretty good as well.
Then, several more bands, Split Ends, and etc. All quite good music. And if you guys got time, look up Deja Voodoo Spells, and search for the songs I am What I am, Rain, Evol, Everything I love, Five, Strangely and er...Grandma, yes, thats a title too. Strangely is a title as well, for anyone who would be confused.
Well, after that, there was a Beer Bash Party, aka Dance Till You Drop in the One World Club. Yes, theres a disco parlour in campus...>_> Well, went up, and took a can, drank up. No I didn't get drunk, but yes, I did turn into a lobster. Took another one, and then went to dance. (BellyDancer was there again..!) Yes..dance? Hahaha, might not fit me, but yeah, just want to enjoy a bit lar..no, didn't approach any girls. But er, girls did approach me.. @@" Well, after that I went to sit down, rest, and back on my feet again. Around 1.30+ went down with my newfound friends and waited for the bus. Bus was there, but couldn't go in yet. About 10 to 20 minutes later, people started coming out as well. We went up, got good seats, and went back to hostel.
I said my goodbyes, changed, and went to bed. Fell asleep about half an hour later.
Well, woke up this morning around 10. Went online, got a call from Abok, then my dad called. Showered, and around 12, Abok came. Went to have lunch with Abok and Uncle Teow Wan, then took my bolster, and extra supplies up to my room. Whee. Got some money to spend now...need a new bag.
Alright, been playing GB and O2 before this, cuz MSN was having problems..couldn't sign in. I can now..but I'll be going off soon, I guess? Well, good night folks. Enjoy the blog. Class starts Monday. Ang coming tomorrow, yeiy~ Miss Min, Zy, Burt, Irene and everyone else T_T

My Adventure...?
Not bad so far in KL. Its my 3rd day in LKW today. Okay, few things to explain. Hmm.
I'm living in a place called Desaria, thats somewhere in Puchong. About 4km away from LKW. Can take bus. Bus service is provided, to certain places, including shopping malls, and all that. Thats RM70 per month, but all rides are free. Hard to get a place though. With over 2000+ students living in my place. I'm student number 2529 btw. More people coming. Facilities included are broadband service, 512kbps for RM65, thats around B$30, or less. Equals Espeed in Brunei, which is B$98. >_>" Anyways, got swimming pool, basketball court, convenient store, DIY store, stalls, restaurant, salon, stationery store.
I'm living in a twin-sharing room, in one of the units. A unit has 4 rooms. One Master Bedroom, two beds, two single rooms, and one twin sharing room. 2 Bathrooms. My roommates are all Indonesians, but they're good people. All senior to me by one semester. Taking different courses. Two taking Graphic Design though. Ali, my room mate. Then there's Hendy, Leo, Willy, Divan. All from Medan, speak hokkien, which I can undersrtand only a minimum of what they're saying. But they've been helpful and all. I've also met several other of their friends, a Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Indonesian guy named Hirodasa.
LKW is huge. Humongous, compared to puny SGS. LOL! Anyways, I had a tour of the place, t
hough I got lost several times. First two days of orientation were basically lectures and speeches by important people, explaining course structure, modules, how the place works and all. Hell, it was scary. The lecturers themselves are competitive. Very scary. Some guys were pretty annoying, hitting on girls on day 1. Lol.
Today though, was pretty tiring. Many things happened today. Okay, woke up later today, not the usual 7.30 wake up call from Min, but 8.30 instead. Today orientation starts a bit late. Anyways, took the bus, arrived around 9.50, went up to meet Jonathan at the Hall of Fame. Jonathan is one of my newer friends, very Christian fellow, somewhat reminds me of Justin. So anyways, went into the Hall, was oriented. There was a game. But it sucked so badly so I didn't bother playing at all. We were NOT assigned into groups. We were told to group ourselves. But the people, they're er...very self grouped. Sticking to their own kind and all, and so it failed. Instead me and Jonathan went to check out the bursary, because there was some fuck up regarding my payment, and his scholarship. Well, we were told to come back there on Friday. So yeah. Had lunch in the Plaza. Trust me, its a headache there. One hell of a big place. Almost as big as the Mall. After lunch, proceeded to Hall of Fame again. But this time instead of the very irresponsible lecturers, we got the student Ambassadors! Savvy, sexy, smart looking people! Mind you, you don't see these everyday! They're very open, swearing openly, lol, dressing very openly as well. (Got a story later)
Anyways, they had a different game, so we were grouped properly this time. There were 170 new students. So we were grouped into 10 groups, 17 per group. In my group I met Tan Yang Yang, an ex-Sgs only starting college now because he was trapped in NS, Ted, some Korean guy, Gerald, a Sino-Kadazan like me as well, Brian, Tan's friend, and several more guys and girls. We played the game, which involves looking for ambassadors, guessing their nicknames, from a sheet of paper, and then doing whatever task they get us to do, in order to win their signature. First group with 10 signatures win. We got 7. Pity =\ T'was fun. Though some tasks involved asking girls to kiss random guys (no worries, I didn't get it) and singing love songs to a certain person, walking on a row of chairs, carrying an ambassador around the hall, singing the national anthem while tap dancing, performing a group dance on stage...etc. You get the picture.
Right after that, we seemed to have formed better ties. Break. Oh. Break. Well, the female ambassadors, they wanted to take a smoke see. So 4 of them went backstage to take a whiff. One of them took the mic, and forgot to shut it. Well, what burst out a few minutes later from the speakers was this :
"Ohhhhhh..Farah! Stop that!"
"What? You're so sexy I can't help it!"
"Hey, I told you I don't do girls!"
and then the crowd went ".......WTF?"
One of the female ambassadors came rushing out with the Mic, returned it to the stage, and made sure it was off this time. XD
Well, apparently, there was these two girls sitting two rows behind me earlier before the hall was cleared. Still not in grouping yet. Anyways, one of them was talking. Then the other just grabbed her boobs and reached down. Yes. The other girl shrieked and laughed, asking what she did that for. The other one answered, saying she's sexy and hawt, so she couldn't help it. The other asked again, whether she was les. She retorted, saying hell no. She said she was bi. >_> Oh. Yeah.
LOL!
Anyways, thats about it.
*cough* Resuming, after break time, we remained in our group to play another event. Designing superhero costume for a single person to wear. Provided materials were newspaper, scissors, and tape. Yep. Time? 1 hour and 30 minutes. Hoho. Well, what else? Some were sent to look for additional commonly found free of charge materials. The rest remained to give ideas, and then draw. I was one of the few drawing. They took my idea, and some others, combined it all and we started slicing and folding papers. Ah, let me add, not everyone is doing design. There are people doing Sound & Music, Business, International Business Management, Animation, Graphics, Multimedia, and all that. Well, it took a lot of teamwork, and funny thing, we chose Brian, Tan's friend. One of the girls was a biker, and she had a helmet. I re-designed the helmet, added horns and all that, for the hat. Several other things, will upload the pictures when I get them from one of the girls.
Other groups were good too. There was this one girl from China, her group mainly used the newspaper, and some leaves. Thats all. They dressed her up like she was some kind of fairy, but wearing a wedding dress! Her superhero name? Green Envy, protector of the forest!
Well, there was Hangover Man...protecting teens from being arrested after nights of partying. Then Amazing Island Man, Peacock Man the Retired Superhero, The Traditional Religious Hero, uhh...Osimurai. (Obviously, Stupid, Idiotic, Moron. Yes, real name.) Plus several others I failed to remember. Our hero was called..the Winged...Beaner. Yeah. Unfortunately. He had a Mr.Bean's teddy stuck on his helmet. Which shoots lasers. HAHAHA. Yeh.
Winner will be announced on Freshie's Night. Party this Friday in Campus. Starts 7. Finishes around 2am. Drinks allowed. Woohoo. Though I'm not sure I'll be drinking. There's disco, slowdance, etc. Food. Meh. Usual. But interesting experience. Will be sure to attend. =D
Well, thats basically it for today. What do you think? Hmm, I saw many videos of previous students. It seems theres a lot of exposure happening here. Inviting many famous people...from the industry and all that. Whats the term? Indusity. Thats what they said. Letting the students get involved in the industry, while studying. For example, an architecture student may already have designed his first house in his 2nd year, or a Sound & Music student could have produced about 40 songs and a few albums in his first year. Its all possible. Plus, meeting celebrities isn't bad right? XD
Well, thats all for now. Will blog more next time. Pictures will be uploaded into MW, I think. Camera still with Abok. Hahaha. See you guys around. I miss everyone really. I want my P2P back. T_T I can't download anything...My broadband service is called Go Lightspeed Btw. Haha..fast..but? No P2P. Sigh. No more anime, and shows for me. =\ Night folks.

It is me. Yeah. =D
Whee. I'm in KL now. Umm, Kajang to be more exact. Well, I left Brunei yesterday, 6pm flight to KL. Arrived 8.15, and the landing was pretty rough. At first they were landing safely but then I think they ran into something and the plane sort of skidded quite a distance before slowing down. And since I landed in the low-cost airport terminal, it was quite different for me. Thank god I saw my aunt, who I will now refer to as Abok (Elder Aunt on Dad's side, in Hainam) and I approached her. She was shocked, because I was almost unrecognizable. (With earrings, pink shirt...and all that) Anyways, she took me to McD where I had a light dinner, because the food in-flight was so bloody expensive. You could puke blood seeing the price. $7 for canned drinks? $12 for Nasi Lemak? Yeah. Puke Puke. >_> Anyways, flight was okay, slept the whole journey. Although there were a few instances I woke up to look out the window. It seems the ocean currents are undergoing some changes, because no way have I ever seen the water move like that...Ah, yes, I miss everyone back in Brunei so much. T_T
Okies, back on topic...I um, ate Fish O' Filet, drank Coke, and then my Uncle Teow Wan came (Abok's husband) and I dumped my stuff into the back, held onto my brand new laptop with my life, and we proceeded to Abok's home in Kajang, which I haven't been to in 6 years. Yes, long time. Upon arrival, I carried my stuff to my permanent room, um oh yes, there was a dog. The dog was, okay? Friendly, I suppose? Lol, anyways, Abok prepared some Banana Split for us, and ah, the memories come flooding back. When I was much younger, everytime I come to Abok's house, I'd have icecream. XD
Well, after icecream, I called my mom, and then Min, and then took my shower. After my shower, I went straight to bed. (Well, of course I thanked Abok for everything first and THEN I went to bed)
(I swear I had a very nice dream about everyone back in Brunei...and Min XD)
Morning, Abok woke me up around 8.45, and I made my bed, took a shower, and then we went out to eat Roti Canai. AND GOD, even the Roti Canai stalls here are so modern. So big. So...class? Well, maybe not all. Had Roti Canai, and had a taste of what Touse (sp?) tasted like. Also had mutton curry, and Milo Ping to go with all that. Right after that we went to Campus in Cyberjaya, which is about 45 minutes drive and um...got lost? Lol, many other unis and other places there. Think of it as the Malaysian version of Silicon Valley. State-of-the-art everything! Found our way into Campus finally, asked the receptionist for directions, waited our turn, while um, getting lost some more? (The toilet is really cute btw, lol. Female toilet is symbolized using very sexy female lips, and the male toilet? Moustache. Yes, Super Mario's moustache) Registered my lodging, accomodation and asked more questions regarding this and that at the Accomodation Department. Hostel is 3km+ away from Campus, so yeah. We had to drive all the way to my hostel, and then register again there. Paid RM120 for my bus card, and access card. Went to check out my room...um, where I'm bunking with 5 indon guys, my seniors apparently. 2 of them taking the same course as I am. But meh, I might be switching. Not that I don't like that. I just want to eat my pork in peace? And wear my cross without being stared at? Yeah that. Once I find some friends that have rooms available, I might join them.
After that I went for lunch, then the optician, to get a new pair of glasses. Apparently, my eyesight is still maintained, which is a good thing, even after wearing glasses for years and years. No change. Brilliant eh?
Right, after that again, went to shop at Tesco. Its SMALL if you compare it to the other shopping centers around here. But DAMN it was really big to me. Bought some necessary stuff, like blanket, snacks, wax, etc. Ah, I forgot to mention, Tesco was on fire, I think. There was a lot of smoke, and the lights were all out. But people were still definitely doing their shopping. LOL! Maybe it happens everyday...After that, I paid for the goods (Oh, my dad called to check on me), and then we went back to Abok's house. And right now I'm blogging! Well, can't use my laptop cuz the net is not compatible with my laptop, for some reason. Needs to be setup and all that, and I don't have the patience for that now. So I'm using Abok's PC, Linux? I think, for now. Alright, will keep you guys updated on what happens here.
Do SMS me when you guys have the chance! Get my number from Min! For anyone in Malaysia, number is 0168038203. Ciao guys! I miss Brunei TT_TT...I want Min! I want my friends! TT_TT...I hope I manage to settle down and fit in. Will be moving into the hostel tomorrow. 1800+ People staying there. Lol. Congested? Nope...Swimming pool, Wi-Fi, Tennis Court, Basketball Court..and all that. Talk about provided. Well, I'm really off now. Should be going soon. Take care of yourselves!

As requested...
This will be my final blog here before I leave for KL this Friday. But of course, I will resume my blogging activities once I'm there. But before that, I'll need to settle down and all that.
Today is Thursday, 1st of February. Another new month. Boy, as if it was only yesterday I was blogging about when I would be leaving, life sucks, and etc.
I have friends coming over around 5 later, some that can't make it to see me off the day after tomorrow. I really appreciate them coming.
I'm definitely going to be missing everyone here, sorely and badly.
Oh yes, I have received my O Levels results the other day. Shocking, because as I was walking my brother to his class, Ms.Chin opened the door of her class and shouted out to me 'Congratulations Kevin!' and my only reaction was 'Wut?' and then she told me 'I saw what you got for English! Well done!' and I nodded 'Oki' then when my slow brain finally gave in to the little people inside my head kicking I reacted with another 'WHUT?' XD
I rushed my brother to class, and then went to the notice board, trying to locate the damn O Level results, but I guess they were too lazy to put them up. I went into the office, asking for it, and the lady told me to sign this and that, and she gave me a piece of paper.
I folded it without looking at it, then walked out, and only then I looked at it. W00ts~
1A, 4B, 2C. All Os.
A for English, B for Maths, C.Science, Geo and Malay, then Cs for Econs and Art. (My lousy painting skills brought me down)
So thats it, I didn't jump-punch the air and go Wohoooo~ or anything like that but I smiled like I got laid or something for several hours. XD
Anyways, I'm done here, just want to say GoodBye to my friends, and hope that we'll see each other again one day. Which we will, of course, unless the plane that I will be boarding is going to be hijacked by 'tereris' or something. >_>" *touchwood* *touchmetal*
Wow, I almost forgot, I got a laptop now. Dell XPS1210. Still need some tweaks and some getting use to before I can truly call it good. For now its satisfactory. I need to rearrange all my files and shit like that. I forgot to transfer my fonts and brushes from my PC so I guess I'll do that later.
Ciao. Ja Matta Ne. Sayonara. BaiBai. Jai Jien. Bye. Or however you say it. XD
