2pm, went to the hair salon, ReJuVeNaTe, at Crowne Tower. Val wasn't
going with me, she asked me to call her when I'm done and she'll meet
me there. Went into the salon and I'm the only customer. I asked for a
hair wash. The girl washed my hair called Macy(not sure how to spell her
name) It cost me RM15 because I had chosen the shampoo called Osis (not
quite sure how it is spelt). If using normal shampoo, it'll cost RM14.
Well... not a bad service, she is very friendly and we chatted like we've
known each other for years, I didn't know that by just asking for hair
wash, at the same time I could enjoy massages. Not bad... I got my upper
body massaged, it helped me regained my energy and relax after exam weeks.
I asked her to "iron" my hair. So straight like iron rod. I
tried to call Val when I'm almost done but my phone had no signal so had
to wait till everything's done then I quickly made a call to Val and asked
her to meet me there. Luckily she had transport... finally we're going
to meet after 5 years or so...
I waited for half an hour, at last... she arrived. 4pm already. Wow...
pretty girl... very tall also... no wonder she's accepted for MAS air
stewardess training however she had to turn down the offer coz her mother
didn't like it. First thing first, we found a place to sit and made our
order. This was what I had, sweetcorn ice flakes
After that, the first thing
I told her was to take a photo of me with the camera I brought but it's
blurred, I didn't activate the flash and her hand shaked. It's all right...
I deleted it. Planning to have a photo taken with her but my camera could
not do that. She took out her phone, a Samsung camera phone, I forgot
the model, the one that in the advert where the models danced and took
photos with it. She took my pic with it and I asked for her phone and
I went into the photo section, oh... not a very nice photo, I aksed her
to delete it. We sat there, talking about hair and guys and trying to
recall how we met and when was it. The first thing I told her was she
got very thick hair and it's very bouncy. Just to start a conversation...
so many things to talk about, then I told her why not use her phone to
take pictures of both of us since mine couldn't do it. So I sat next to
her and finally got our photo taken. Too bad, cannot show it here coz
I do not have it. Then she said, "Hey... you got long fingers also...
it's the kind that's suitable for playing piano" and the next thing
we knew, we're comparing our fingers ahhahhha... this is the 1st time
ppl told me this. She had a diploma in music, and quite a high grade for
her piano playing. She took her mass comm degree at UNIMAS and at the
same time did her diploma in music. Now trying to find a job after quiting
her job at FTMS last year. Wow... she's so talented and so pretty... When
almost 5pm she got a call from her friend, and we went to the washroom.
After that, we walked, walked, walked and until we reached the car park,
said goodbye to each other and that's all. Our meeting of the day ahahhah...
Went home, it's 5:15pm, 6:30pm appointment with Lee for dinner. Watched
TV for a while and then took my bath. Trying hard not to get my hair wet,
coz if it's wet, my curl will come back ahhaahhh... coz it's just temporarily
sraightened. Out of the bathroom, couldn't make up my mind what to wear...
ahahhah... then settle for a black sleevesless blouse and a cream-coloured
skirt. 6:30pm... Lee's not here yet... called him, he's on his way. Finally
he's here. We went to Pizza Hut and spent 2 hours and a half there...
very long indeed... so many things to talk about. The pizza tonight wasn't
very tasty, the crust was very hard, having some problem to cut it in
pieces. We had two parmesan sticks each, a bowl of mushroom soup each
and a cup of Pepsi each. Ordered Regular Haiwaiian Pizza with classic
crust, the taste... was very disappointing but we're so full... felt like
the stomach's going to explode.
9:30pm we went to Sarawak Plaza for a walk, he bought some Mentos and
that's it, no place to go, besides it's going to rain soon, we decided
to go home.

Blank... blank... didn't know what to expect... went to STA for final
paper of this term. Couldn't wait to finish this paper, System Development.
It's going to be a new format, so blur... don't know whether the less-than-one-week-preparation
enough or not. Not only that, I had been going tru' the course notes,
textbook and past papers so many times, only those for preparation, nothing
much to prepare.
7pm, 3-hour exam started. Oh no... will it be very hard???? My strategy,
30minutes(inclusive of reading time) read and analyze, each question allocates
50 minutes. 10 minutes reading time started, I flipped the paper, reading
the case study and at the same time making notes for it to ease the drawing
of use case, sequence and class diagrams. 10 minutes, analyzing completed.
20 minutes, studied the 4 questions and choose 3 to answer.
Surprise
1: My blue pen's ink was too light... couldn't use. switched to black
ink pen.
Surprise
2: Geee... all the classes and use cases are given to you... cool... should
be easy... read the questions... not bad... settle for Q1 and Q2, Q3 &
Q4 not sure yet. Will leave these two aside first.
Surprise
3: Aiyoooooooo... I couldn't seem to identify the wrong classes from the
list of classes given in Q1, only manage to find 1, oh... oh... went back
to case study and analyzed again... still nothing, went to Q2, manage
to identify 2 wrong use cases only, it required 4... oh.. oh... another
problem... cool down, let's start all over again, carefully studied the
case study, finally... found all four, I'm clearer about Q1 now coz Q1
& Q2 are closely related... finally identified 3 wrong classes. 30
minutes' up.
I started to write my answer into the booklet. Very smooth sailing...
smile to myself... :-) Q1... completed!!!!! Used about 35/50 minutes.
Started Q2... draft out the diagram... should be no problem... completed
drafting, prepared to write the real answers into the booklet.
Surprise
4: Aiksssssssssss... where's my draft paper????? Looked to my left...
OMG... my draft "flew" to Khoon How's side... oh no...my answer...
it's in front of him. Today, the seat allocation for each candidate are
quite close to each other, Ann, Khoon How and me, we sat at the same row,
same table. I quickly grabbed my draft and started to draw it into the
booklet. I think he saw my answer... nvmlar...
Finally Q2 completed in 30/50 minutes. I had so much time to spare for
third question. Read Q3 and Q4... ok... settled for Q3, easier... started
Q3, write..write.. write... documenting the use case. Reached the last
few sentences...
Surprise
5: My pen's ink... it's getting lighter and lighter... it seemed out of
ink... oh no... kept on writing hope that I could manage to complete the
last few senteces. Wala!!!!!!!! Finally... completed... but the ink was
getting lighter and lighter... at least completed it, luckily Q3b no need
to use pen anymore, it's the drawing of sequence diagram, used pencil...
phew... luckily I didn't choose Q4, many writings required. I had no extra
pens... no wonder all these while I felt that I had something missing
but couldn't figure out what... ok... I forgot to bring extra pens...
no wonder my stationeries so little usally I had a lot of them with me
for exam. Count me lucky or what... but after doing this question, I noticed
that there're some stuffs missing in Q1, I tried to add-on with the pen,
the ink was too light... cannot be seen... I ended up using my pencil
to write the answer, it's not a long answer just one two words missing,
shouldn't be any problem...
I still had 40 minutes to draw the final diagram. Drafted it out, took
me 10 minutes... then copy it into the booklet, another 10 minutes...
double-checked the diagram...made modifications here and there, I left
10 minutes before handing up the paper. I hoped that my pen's ink will
start flowing again (it's new!) so that I could rewrite with pen for those
that I had to use pencil to write but nothing... the ink actually got
lighter than before... I noticed that Khoon How's using black pen also,
I tried to borrow from him when he's preparing to leave but didn't manage
to... I didn't know how to ask from him... couldn't talk in the room...
he had two extra pens that he didn't used but too bad it's blue not black...
if it's black, I'll just grabbed it and used it... well... what to do?
Nothing could be done... besides only left 5 minutes... "suak lar..."
Exam ended, 10:15pm. Went home, had supper... KFC again... hahahha...
and a hard-boiled egg that I forgot to eat for my dinner...
Suprise
6: Took my handphone from my handbag... WHAT!!! It's on! Did I off it
just now? I did... I did... I told Ann it's 6:51pm already after that
I switched it off, how come it's on now... maybe accidentally switched
on while in the handbag. Luckily it didn't ring during exam... if not...
I couldn't imagine what will happen... I remembered that during my last
trip to S'pore, my phone was accidentally switched on without me noticing
it. I only noticed it at Changi Airport, coz I heard beeping sounds at
the arrival hall, I was wondering where it came from and the beeps were
the same as my SMS ringtone, it beeped non-stop, then out of the arrival
hall I wanted to switched it on, arggggggg... it's on... all these while
the non-stop beepings were from my own phone, received continuos SMSs
from Singtel & StarHub... oh my... it's on during the whole flight...
I did switched it off before boarding. What a dangerous game...
In one night... within 5 hours... I got so many "surprises"...
because of those, got to excited and couldn't fall asleep as soon as possible...
turning to the left... turning ot the right... it's 1am... still couldn't
sleep... ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Went to BDC for window shopping with my parents. Met Gilbert's parents
there. I almost couldn't recognize his father. 1st looked, "hmmmm...
this man is familiar", 2nd looked, "it's reall familiar, it's
Gilbert's father". Finally got to meet his mother. The last time
I went to his house, his mother was sleeping so didn't have the chance
to really meet her. Had a little chat with them.
Auntie: "Hmmm... I think I met you before, u're plumper back then"
(Indeed, she met me before but that was long time ago and I didn't have
the chance to greet her and I wasn't sure who's she back then, I only
know that she's Gilbert's someone but not sure who...)
Hahahahah... it looks like I'm thinner now, that's what many ppl told
me, Gilbert told me that too when we met in January. His father also told
me that. Ok... I too notice that I'm thinner compare to before, I also
don't know why... it must be the funny thing that hormones do to you...
I eat more than I used to... spend most of the day eating snip bits...
it should be fattening but it seems doesn't work on me ahahhaahah...
That's all... end of story 
Lately busy with IS exam preparations. Wednesday exam... final paper for
this term. Will have a few days rest before the new term, final term starts.
Since starting 1/5 till 4/5 are public holidays, see what to do by then,
maybe ask Val out to meet(known her for so long tru' the Internet... 5
years or so... but never met her before, only her photos...) and go to
the saloon with her in the afternoon and ask Lee out for a dinner on 30/4
then discuss about what to do for the next few days. Maybe plan for some
outings with friends or have party at his house (if his parents' go travelling).
We'll tear down the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then rebuild it after the party's
over.
ONE

Finally it the day! EXAM!!!! Today, E-Commerce. Memorized everything
that are supposed to be memorized. Before the exam, I was so blank...
7pm, exam started, 10 minutes reading time and to my surprise... I'm not
confident in scoring well in it. Only one question I had some confidences
in it. The other two, not really sure what it wanted but at least have
a bit of rough ideas. Starting with Q4, then Q3, then Q1. Didn't know
what Q2 is all about, learnt that too but couldn't seem to have anything
popped out from my mind. This term, this paper is sort of different compare
to past terms, it's not that straight forward anymore, it's a bit twisted
for me. However I mange to complete all 3 questions and still have half
hour to spare. I wrote and wrote and wrote non-stop and halfway towards
the last question, my hand couldn't move, it's red and man... so painful
.
I looked at the clock, phew... still have one 45 minutess for this last
question, I stopped for a while then started writing again. Finally...
it's done but don't know what I had written were correct or otherwise.
Checked everything and manage to correct some grammatical and spelling
mistakes that caught my eyes. There might be more but they didn't popped
up to reveal themselves ahhhaahah... still have 20 minutes to spare, I
add-on more answers to the queations that I weren't sure of. For example,
it asked for 3 items and I gave more than 3 hopefully there are 3 out
of so many that I had given are correct because they're not going to penalize
wrong answers and will only give marks for correct answers, no harm...
Worst still, in Q3b, I dumped in whatever I had studied in that chapter,
I even used 1 1/2 pages for it coz I'm not sure which was supposed to
be the correct answer and all of them seemed to be able to fit into that
question, so just dumped in everything. So crazy...
9:10pm, end of exam! Felt so numb, 1st time with no feelings at all about
the exam. It's like, it's over and it's over. Don't know why,usually I
had lots of complaints after the exam. My parents are waiting fro me downstair,
they went shopping before picking me up at STA. They bought supper, yipeeeeeeeeee...
I'm so hungry!!! KFC Tom Yam Fried Chicken. It tasted quite good, even
before biting into it by just opening your mouth ready to have a bite,
the Tom Yam smell already sneaked into your taste buds making you salivate,
then when you bite into it, more Tom Yam, yummy... very tasty, I like
Tom Yam but not the very hot kind, medium hot will do for me and that
fried chicken is just right, not hot but you can feel the Tom Yam in there.
Geee... it's making me hungry again...
Have to start IS as soon as possible, next Wednesday exam again! Hadn't
prepare anything for this subject for exam. No time to prepare for it,
all my time were taken up by e-comm and IS assingment. 1st time in my
exam preparation history... not preparing until less than one week to
the exam. Hopefully the time left now are enough for me to be well-prepared
for it. Worst thing in exam is not doing enough preparations. sigh...
IT'S
REALLY YOU!

Two goldfishes died this morning, they're the two new fishes added
into the aquarium. Bought it Tuesday night and died today. They might
had suffered shock. I was lucky to take their pictures the day before
they died, too bad the water is quite dirty, so it's not that clear and
picture quality it's not that good. I'll upload it after exam. My bro
bought a "fighting fish"(there's a formal name for it but I
couldn't recall), the photos will be uploaded after exam also.
Went to church for youth meeting, I sat next to one of my ex-schoolmate.
When it's bible reading time, I offered her mine, she was so shocked after
listening to my voice...
ex-schoolmate: "It's really you! Oh my I thought you looked familiar
but I'm not sure it's you"
me: "Me too... Really it's you."
ex-schoolmate:
"Always see u in Sunday Services but I dare not to greet you, afraid
that got the wrong person"
me: "me too..."
Hahahaha... very funny, we had been schoolmates from 1996-2000, she's
always in the next class. After form 5, we only met once during CNY when
I went visiting with some friends to another friend's house. Met again
this year but not sure it's her. See how much changes in just these few
years... I wasn't sure it's her because she had straightened her very
curly hair and she couldn't recognize me because I don't use my spec anymore
and I don't tie my hair anymore. That's why...
Steven actually had his photo uploaded in Friendster, heheheh... I stole
it and now it's updated in 5cience1
homepage.
NEW
PHOTOS

Finally got hold of two ex-classmates latest photos, Adeline and Kwang
Lim. Updated their photos in 5cience1
homepage. Found them in Friendster. Found another, Steven's, but too
bad he didn't upload his photos there. Geee... long time no see... Adeline
is getting prettier, I almost couldn't recognize her at all. Kwang Lim
also, I had to zoom in and out and still couldn't really believe it's
him, he's much fitter compare to last time heheehe.... and more handsome
now. Really changes a lot and didn't notice that time really flies, everyoneis
getting older. As for me, I don't think i change much in my look, still
same old me :-) maybe after I get my hair makeover will be a bit different.
Will do it this year end I guess... see got money or not ahahahahah...
might straigthen it a bit or might highlight it or I'll do both. Anyone
want to sponsor my makeover? ahahhaahah...
LOW
WATER PRESSURE
[
...
]-14.04.2004, Wednesday
The water pressure is so low today especially in the evening until
night. Couldn't take a shower, have to use the old fashion way to bath.
Luckily the weather is quite hot lately, so no need warm water, the cold
water is just nice. Everyone staying in this area is having the same problem.
My uncle staying upstair had to come down to our place to take bath, they
didn't have any water at all. We have but not much. My aunt even had to
go to her office to take bath ahhaahahah... and those workers staying
next door at the highest floor, their "taukeh" had to open up
the office to let them take bath there. There're lots of ppl carrying
buckets, containers, pails and so on to collect water from nearby tapes.
See... how precious water is... we always take it for granted. Didn't
know what's wrong... suddenly low water pressure and there wasn't any
notice about it.
ONLINE
RESUME
[

]-13.04.2004, Tuesday
Got my resume online, it's not that hard, very easy, you know how
to use Microsoft Word? Then just save your document as *.html will do.
You can even create a webpage with it. It doesn't take long at all. Actually
thinking of posting the resume link here then I realized that I have all
my personal contacts there, cannot... It is not supposed to be for public.
However, my certs and result slips are not up yet, have to bring it to
scan. Nowadays
so hard to find time to go out, even when there's time, it's so late at
night already. Quite
busy with exam preapration lately, hope I can get them uploaded as soon
as possible after exam. Oh my... just noticed that next week start exam!!!!!
So soon...

I missed my WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!! 
I
forgot everything about it! My wedding was supposed to be on 1st April
2004 at Qualicum Beach, Canada, a beach wedding!!!
I was not there...
Ok... cool down... enough of these...
I'm not really getting married... I was just reminded by my friend that
"our wedding" is successful ahhaahh...
few months ago(if I'm not mistaken, I've forgotten all about it), I helped
one of my friend with his asignment about wedding, how his wedding is
going to be, the honeymoon and the expenditure..., just anything you can
think of in a wedding). I was in charged of the wedding plans, cards,
flowers
,
cakes, ring... (gals are better in this part) and he took charged of the
honeymoon part. He planned for a backpacking honeymoon, of course it's
not my kind of honeymoon. We pretended that we're getting married.
He got his assingment mark back and he got the highest. Congratulations
to him 
and 
to him too... no wonder couples always quarrel over a wedding plan. One
good example is that I didn't agree with the honeymoon part he wanted
and he complained about some of the things for the beach wedding, too
expensive, no need this, no need that... but ahhhahah I don't care...
I'm not going to marry him anyway...
He's actually married for 2 years already and his spouse is currently
with his 2 year-old son in Philippines. Currently he's studying in Thailand
as a doctor. They got married in Canada 2 years ago. Since his spouse
is also a student, nursing student, they both are busy with their own
stuffs and I'm just acting as a wedding planner for
his "wedding" ahhahahah...
(he told me to plan a beach wedding and asked me to imagine that as if
I'm planning for my own wedding and he's my husband-to-be, frankly, I
don't even know what kind of wedding I want. The sample invitations cards
and so on were all his wife's name, well... I was quite free that time,
so I did it for fun). They didn't have that kind of wedding back then.
Wish him all the best in his marriage!
Skating... my bro bought a skateboard few weeks ago, heheheh... I tried
to skate with it, manage to skate it in straight line. I just used another
leg to stop it. As for the stunts and so on... ahhahah... too old for
it, dare not to try. Then he bought a rollerblade just now, I tried it,
trying to stand up but I fell down. Very funny. I tried again finally
can stand but not stable, I'm quite bad in balancing. Manage to walk a
few steps but not skate hahahhah... try again next time, really felt that
it's a bit too old already and not that adventurous compare to last time.

Woke up this early coz it's Qing Ming, have to go to the graveyard.
It's dark there and many ppl arrived earlier than us. I was experiencing
a really hard time due to the smoke emitted from the burning of joysticks
and those hell money and so on. This year the joystick smelt a bit weird,
it's quite different from last year's. It's very smelly and I coughed
and coughed and coughed... sigh... pollutions!!! Very suffocating 
Want to leave that place as soon as possible but had to wait until everything
finished burning.
Back home, it's about 8:30am, after shower, went back to sleep unitl 12.00pm.
Today's date is quite special 040404... didn't notice it earlier.
6:30AM
[
...
]-02.04.2004, Friday
Wow... I woke up at 6:30am today coz had appointment with my net friend
to have breakfast. It's an 8:00am appointment since he had noon flight
back to back to Sibu. He's here to settle his works with the HQ here.
Met him at lobby of Habour View Hotel. The nearby coffee shops were packed,
finally found a table in one of the coffee shops but we just had a drink,
nothing nice to eat. No appetite. We just talked, talked, talked for 1
and a half hour. After that I went home.
It's kinda awkward, ppl were staring at us coz he's so much older than
I am and oh well... he looks much older than his age. It feels like I'm
walking with my uncle. Well... Finally got to meet him, he's been asking
me to meet him for the past 5 years but everytime I rejected it. I'm the
one that initiated the meeting this time since I'm in the mood. Lucky
him.
On the 30th March, my dad bought 3 guppies to add to the aquarium with
the goldfishes. However, on 1st April, one of the guppies died. We suspected
that the two males fighting over a female coz the surviving male's tail
was teared. Then, this morning, the other male died too. I guess, the
goldfishes didn't like them. My mom seperated the only guppy into a small
plastic cup. Suddenly while preparing for lunch, she noticed the guppy
was gone and it's on the floor, it committed suicide
.
So... all 3 guppies died. Life is so short... Pity them... I'll update
the online album and u can see the 3 guppies in there.

I've changed the layout of the main page a bit, sort of fed up with
the all-blue layout, felt that it's a bit too bright and makes my eyes
tired quite easily. White is still a better option. It looks fresher and
cleaner now. Don't you think so?
Oh ya... today is April's Fool! Nothing happened to me coz I just stay
at the home the whole day.
