Horaaas :D Erlin here! In Tanjung Balai :D :D hahaha.. I’m back! Yuhuuu… Alrite.. from where should I started?
Not long after my last blog, I began packing.. everything.. all my dresses, books, cds… until computer.. felt so hard to return the network cable to hall office. Hahaha.. I settled everything right before the time to celebrate henry’s b’day.. so there I was.. as a professional publicity officer.. taking photos for the day :D.. Before the celebration, we watched movie at Henny’s room, The Voice.. a Japanese movie. The movie was supposed to be scary.. but.. along with all the beautiful ghosts.. it just made the guys can’t take they eyes off from it ^^;.. 10 minutes before the end of the movie, Nancy, Tomy, Ivana, and the rest of blazers showed out to surprise Helios :P.. Surpriseee!!! ~ Continued with the candle blowing ceremony.. then.. guess what.. still holding the cake, Henry first wish was to continue watching the movie since it was reaching the end =.=.. huahaha.. then we continued the movie… later2.. we moved to hal 14’s tv room :D.. There.. we played cards… ate cake, mammy… beng2… oreo.. etcetc.. (2 thumbs up for the welfare!) After playing a game, the fun was over at 12+.. Then I went back to hall… stopped a while at Hall 8 to take documents.. reached the hall… brushed my teeth.. and.. ZZzZz..
Waken up by Alarm at 7.. 1 minute after that.. got a miscall from ivana.. dooh! Thanx so much, beauty! :D.. Then, took bath… then went for breakfast with Inche and Tomy.. This was the first time I have breakfast at can 1 :D.. Nice though :D.. Then2… at 8.40.. Tomy and I took 179 to boonlay.. Inche took bus to library ^^.. Sayonara Che! Take care a lot ya! Hope that u’re not scared to sleep alone after yesterday movie… hahaha…
Not long after I reached boonlay, Nancy, Henny, and Handarmin were coming along… then… we set off to Habour Front!.. yay! Fidelia was also along with us until Jurong East.. she was going there fror Red Cross Vibrant Blood Event :D.. Reached there.. got my ticket confirmed… said goodbye to my friends… then bruuumm.. row row the boat from Singapore to Batam ^^.. haha.. I didn’t manage to open the roaming service.. thus.. I couldn’t contact anybody as I reached batam >< (so sorry dad.. to make you worried ><).. As I reached there.. the travel’s agent was there already.. then.. he drove me to airport.. and the flight was ontime! (alrite.. 10 minutes late means nothing) :D. Really2.. thanx Albert for helping me arranged it all :D.. Eventually.. I managed to reached Medan… unluckily.. since I checked in my baggage very early at batam, I needed to wait almost half hour to get my luggage ><.. oh dear.. so sorry to make you all wait ><… And.. as I out from airport.. Horas Medan!!! I managed to get here from Batam! Yeah!! ^^.. hahaha..
My sister, her husband, and her son were there to pick me up :D.. thanx2 so much! I reached home at around 3.30.. then.. after relaxing for a while.. around 4.30.. went out for a movie and dinner with Albert :D.. Yuhuuu alberttt.. long time no seee.. (alrite..1 week is along time :P ..) we went for pizza at Sun Plaza.. at last.. after half year without pizza.. haha.. thanx so much for the treat! Then2.. we watched Davinci Code ^^.. One of Albert’s friend was also there. The movie was nice :D.. no wonder that it’s still the box office until now.. btw.. before the movie started, there are a trailer of 007 james bond movie.. this time, the Bond isn’t the same person.. look a bit weird.. anyway.. the women are still all pretty.. hihihi.. looking forward for the movie! Finished with davinci code.. we went for supper at Mi Lindung.. ^^… chit chat for a while.. then went back to home.. Thanx so much for such a great evening, Albert :)
The next morning.. I slept until 9.. right as my mother and father reached Medan.. :D We chitchat2.. then had a nice lunch at a restaurant… (forget the name already..).. then went back to Tanjung Balai :D.. Reached TB at around 6.30.. settling down for a while.. then went to Walikota’s daughter wedding party at tanjungbalai’s common hall.. It was buffet.. with more than 10 main courses… wow… nyam2.. even my daddy was surprised of how much I ate ^^;.. huahaha.. closed with orange and ice cream as dessert, then we watched some performances.. at around 10, we drove back to home :D.. Reached home.. Said good nite to my parents and Albert.. then went ZzzZzz..
The next day.. I wake up at 11 ^^;.. and the very next day.. (which is today..) I went up at 1 T___T.. I slept at 11 PM loh.. wake up at 1 PM!? Hellppp!!.. hahaha.. today.. nothing much.. took my jeans to a tailor.. the zipper needed to be repair.. ^^;.. helping mum with housework.. helping dad at shop.. and now.. time for me to sleep2! Need to make sure that I don’t overslept again tmrw..
Tomorrow we’re going to have bak cang ceremony.. will have relatives come over.. must wake up early to help out! :) and later.. the next day.. I’m setting off to Surabaya.. with my mother.. and one of my old friend ^^.. for my relative wedding celebration. Albert also planned to go to Jakarta on Friday.. Bon Voyage, Albert!! I will update the blog again if I have time there! For tmrw.. I will need to pack my stuff.. oh ya! Must remember to go to phing’s home to borrow novels! Hahaha..

Yayy!
I have also told prez of CEC that i'm going home.. Nothing much.. I didn't be given a new work.. just wish me a pleasant holiday.. thanx so much!
Last but not least.. regarding GTD.. we eventually update the website.. with more information and picture :).. Thanx so much Yongky and Erikson for the help.. (alrite.. what i do are actually only makin the icon and resize photos.. haha..).. feel free to visit the website! And.. no more work for GTD until i came back :D :D.. (yaah, the maincomm himself has just went back to indo). haha.. I heard that we have been assigned to a group.. can feel the curiousity inside me.. what group will i be in? Just hope that i'm not in Wisnu's group :P.. hehe.. kidding2 :P
These 2 days.. i have been doing alot of packing.. and started to be FRIENDS addicted again ^^;.. alrite! now is season 9!!.. once i started to watch it.. it's just seems to be so hard to press the stop or pause button. haha..
Alriteee.. going to dapao soon.. and continue with friends again later... :P

T__T.. huk hukk... eventually... not much we can talk about... seems like he is just too hungry to go for lunch already.. no more than 10 minutes.. not even before he saw our demo... he is going out for lunch...

Ok.. let's just wait until the result is out.. =___=...
I didn't feel good this morning.. seems like i slept wrongly.. i can't turn my head around ^^;.. it really does affect my mood.. T__T. more over, i encountered some error in medo's program.. he didn't test it out when he did the program... and didn't tell us about anything.. and moreover.. shirley sent me a new version of her code 3 in the morning... i just read it in the morning.. how am i supposed to integrate it? more oveerrrr... they arrived late... we're not ready when he asked us to start at around 10 am... that's all just almost blew me up.. =__=.. that's not their fault, actually... yah.. i hate myself for blaming others when i'm angry.. so sorry pals... i know that is not your fault..
At the end of the day.. alrite :D.. i think i shouldn't be sad.. Nothing will change anyway... wanting and shirley keep trying to cheer me up :D.. so nice of you :') Thanx alot :')..

In between the CID...
For sure, my life isn't dedicated only for the CID :P.. On Monday, I went to gym again with Albert.. ^^v.. Feel freshed after the gym, really :D.. On Tuesday, i be the beta listener of Albert's presentation :P.. On wedesday, Albert unofficially graduated... by finishing his FYP presentation. The presentation turned out very very well ^^.. The moderator said that he must have put alot of effort, and that Albert's supervisor kept everything about Albert in his computer... (What!?) His supervisor said that he did a very good job and that he did very weell in the exam subject. :D :D.. Congratz hor Albert! Very2 proud of you ^^.. As usual.. we celebrate it by.. ehem2.. KFC!!! Our beloved KFC! this time with Albert's treat! ^^v hihihi.. Later.. on Friday.. I have a nice supper with blazers ^^ I ate crispy noodle (seems like i'm really addicted with noodle already) It was soo nyumnyyy o^.^o.. who cares about fat... (although what rizky said did bother me.. "No wonder you look soo faat.. eat so much during supper..") ^^;..
Then2.. on saturday.. again.. it's dating time :P.. hahaha.. early in the morning, we went to Bugis, bai bai for the world peace, then.. as we're going to Orchard, we saw a G2000 sales! Help Albert to look for his jeans size among the crowd.. hahaha.. satisfied with our effort (3 jeans with 75% discount!) then we went to eat La Mien.. at Chrystal Jade.. it's so nyummmyy.. o^.^o.. very nice ^^.. with our full belly, then we went to take my ipod. Yep2.. my ipod video is agreed to be replaced by Apple ^^.. so nice ~ Later.. we came back to NTU.. After an hour nap, we watch movie: Firewall, accompanied with pop mie and maggie noodle ^^;; what a day of noodle.. huahaha... After that.. the day ends. Truly enjoy my saturday :)
On sunday.. it's time for Albert to charge his energy.. since he is going to have 2 day night orientation on monday night - wednesday morning. He brought back good news, as what i have always been sure of : He got the job!!! at TECH! It means that he got the job at the first interview he made :).. so so happy for you :) :) Then again.. we celebrated it at KFC? huahahaaa.. it's a big yes :P We ate at KFC on Thursday.. He really looked tired.. not to wonder.. 4 days without even 4 hours of sleep? :(.. i'm so worried about him. Then.. on Friday, he flew back to Medan... Such a short time to celebrate.. However, we did have great time :) Thanx so much for staying cheerful and supportive through out your tough week. Enjoy your holiday at Medan, yeeaaah!!! I'm going to join you soon in a week, after this CID, URECA and CEC :)

CID
Here come the 2nd weekend since my last blog.. which implied that my CID project is coming to the end.. pretty soon. Fuuiiih.. eventually.. after such a tiring 2 week.. ^^;.. but still.. it's so much fun :)... These two weeks, i can pretend to be an expert developer, worked together with team members.. tried to meet deadlinee.. dont know why.. it just feel so coooll~.. huahaha.. wait until you hear all the technical terms.. eXtreme Programming, regresive testing, smoke testing, debugging, integration, repository.. sound so cool, rite?.. although the meaning behind.. errm.. were actually: write code. and test. That's all. ^^;
We did have fun in the lab.. On the first day, all of our team members were there in the lab. Then.. on second day onward.. only 5 of us there: Dunkie, Rizky (kuiyu said: you like dangerous life? :P), yungky, peko, and me.. ^^.. the other two, swt, (Shirley WanTing) came no more than 3 days in these 2 weeks.. ^^;.. I dont know what will happen with their attendance list. Worried for them... haha...
Anyway, i am proud with our team work. Really. Everybody just seems to try their best.. and has role which is unsubstitutable by others... Peko: our database manager, and absolutely excel in finding bug.. (thanx for the 20 bugs list!) Rizky... who did anything related to the calculation of commission :). your eyes must have been $.$ for these two weeks :P.. haha.. thanx for such a clean code.. and all the validation... with regex.. it really made the code looks 'great' :P.. and then.. yungky.. our main coder.... any bug.. any function.. just nudge him and it will be done in 3 minutes (alrite, abit hiperbolic.. but he did respond to any bug quickly).. Last but not least.. dunkie.. who has shown a good example of pair programming.. lol.. And i myself? weellll.. ok.. let's just skip this part :P.. hahaha.. Anyway, i really have fun there.. although there are some days when i felt down worried about our progress... but soon it's cured by Albert :).. Thanx so much for keep supporting me :) You did play a great role in this project. :)
On Thursday, our lab were visited by a proffessor.. from dont know what university.. Boston, Canada, or what.. But must be important enough to be accompanied by our dean. The day before, our lab supervisor had told us to prepare for the demo. 3 out from 18 groups do the demo. And we're chosen to be one of the 3. wah :D.. felt happy to be chosen.. but actually.. we haven't really finished implementation by that time. Working so hard that night... all of us. Eventually, we finished the integration and ready for demo at 2.00 pm, just 1 hour before his arrival! So nervous, so happy.. After watching our demo, he changed his comment from 'not bad' to 'very nice'.. woow... ^^.. i really felt so happy.. Thnx to Shirley for such a nice walkthrough! U're our best leader :D.. and Thanx to Wan Teng for such a nice interface :D.. I think that's one of the reason why our group is chosen ^^.. When i listen to Shirley explanation of our web functions, it suddenly astonished me... make me recall the time when we first time met at the start of our second semester, planning for everything.. the interface.. the functions.. That time, I was soo worried of how will we going to implemented it.. now? It's here. The implementation is done! Woow.. such a great feelin of achievement ^^
Not everyday is happy ending... as i have mentioned before. The next day, on our one to one interview.. i really really didnot satisfied with what i said. We're interviewed by Kuiyu.. really out from expectation that that hawaii guy will become so strict when it came to business. ><
First Victim: Peko
"So.. what u hv done? database, huh? can show me the data u entered? any text file? you didn't store it? so, everytime they want to set up the database, they have to call you, and they can't set up it by themselves? not bad, at least the company can't fire you, because they need you to set it.. And what? You're website debugger? can you show me the documentation of testing you have done? no, no, i dont want to see the interface, i want the documentation. Dont have? You can said that you have done milliion of tests and nobody know the truth rite?"
Second Victim: Duncan
"Can I see the portion of code you had done? This? what have you done with it? Get set method? Alrite, what is so special about it? No? then can show me another thing? wait2.. there got some code.. what does it means? you dont' know? you think that's regex? Are you sure? So you didn't write all the code by yourself? ok..."
Third Victim: Me
"Ok.. You are the team leader? no? What have you done? login logout? anything special? just take data from database and compare it right? you have anything to prevent hacker? maybe after login 3times, they will be blocked? no? Do you use encription for their password? or just simple text? you used session? good, how long you set it to be idled before we will need to login again? you dont know!? you make the code and you dont know? great... can i see the repository? 33 revision. No wonder.. Other groups are around 700+"
Fourth Victim: Yongky
"So.. you are the main coder? Any special code you have done? heem.. ok.. so the announcement can handled html.. ok.. anything else? you make the checkbox? ok.. that's look great. How you made it? heem.. ok2.. that's all? Anything else?"
Fifth Victim: Wanting
"You have anything to show me? Anything nice like the checkbox? the interface? ow, you make the flash from scratch? you mean, you take all the wedding pictures by yourself? no? alrite.. what code have you done? You didn't do copy paste? well, copy paste is fine for me. But, you didn't use css? ok.. "
Sixth Victim: Rizky
"What is the hardest part for you? Regex? but why? It's just a line of code rite?"
Last but not Least: Shirley
"What is this for loop? for validation? You didn't use regex? hah? You don't know how to use regex!? but you studied it during csc207 rite? well.. at least, it looked like you did more coding than Rizky, since yours are 9 lines while Rizky only 1 line"
At the end of the interview... all of us feel down =.=.. huahaha.. Wan Teng said that she wants to hire someone to punch him. Nice idea ^^;.. But frankly speaking, I really appreciate this guy. He gave us real practice instead of theory. Ya, He did give us alot of theory, but most of them are applicable in real world! He is a real coder, handled real software business..never look 'tidy' as it's not his main concern.. finished his lecture in half hour time... sometimes didn't comb when giving lecture.. calmy... has a good sense of humor... although it might want you to punch him at the end. huahaha... oh ya, one more thing, his english is very good! allthough he is from china. amazed me alot. He is the most impressive lecturer for me up to date ^^
Ok.. enough about the CID for the time being.. on monday.. we're going to do demo. How will it be? so nerveous.. Will we be accessed by Peter Loh? He looks alot more like a typical lecturer. Didn't gave a lot of critics and appreciate of what we have done... But he only treat us as a student instead of real coder. huahaha.. Anyway.. Peter Loh or Kuiyu.. Alll the best for us!!
Go go go goo Mint!

We did have fun in the lab.. On the first day, all of our team members were there in the lab. Then.. on second day onward.. only 5 of us there: Dunkie, Rizky (kuiyu said: you like dangerous life? :P), yungky, peko, and me.. ^^.. the other two, swt, (Shirley WanTing) came no more than 3 days in these 2 weeks.. ^^;.. I dont know what will happen with their attendance list. Worried for them... haha...
Anyway, i am proud with our team work. Really. Everybody just seems to try their best.. and has role which is unsubstitutable by others... Peko: our database manager, and absolutely excel in finding bug.. (thanx for the 20 bugs list!) Rizky... who did anything related to the calculation of commission :). your eyes must have been $.$ for these two weeks :P.. haha.. thanx for such a clean code.. and all the validation... with regex.. it really made the code looks 'great' :P.. and then.. yungky.. our main coder.... any bug.. any function.. just nudge him and it will be done in 3 minutes (alrite, abit hiperbolic.. but he did respond to any bug quickly).. Last but not least.. dunkie.. who has shown a good example of pair programming.. lol.. And i myself? weellll.. ok.. let's just skip this part :P.. hahaha.. Anyway, i really have fun there.. although there are some days when i felt down worried about our progress... but soon it's cured by Albert :).. Thanx so much for keep supporting me :) You did play a great role in this project. :)
On Thursday, our lab were visited by a proffessor.. from dont know what university.. Boston, Canada, or what.. But must be important enough to be accompanied by our dean. The day before, our lab supervisor had told us to prepare for the demo. 3 out from 18 groups do the demo. And we're chosen to be one of the 3. wah :D.. felt happy to be chosen.. but actually.. we haven't really finished implementation by that time. Working so hard that night... all of us. Eventually, we finished the integration and ready for demo at 2.00 pm, just 1 hour before his arrival! So nervous, so happy.. After watching our demo, he changed his comment from 'not bad' to 'very nice'.. woow... ^^.. i really felt so happy.. Thnx to Shirley for such a nice walkthrough! U're our best leader :D.. and Thanx to Wan Teng for such a nice interface :D.. I think that's one of the reason why our group is chosen ^^.. When i listen to Shirley explanation of our web functions, it suddenly astonished me... make me recall the time when we first time met at the start of our second semester, planning for everything.. the interface.. the functions.. That time, I was soo worried of how will we going to implemented it.. now? It's here. The implementation is done! Woow.. such a great feelin of achievement ^^
Not everyday is happy ending... as i have mentioned before. The next day, on our one to one interview.. i really really didnot satisfied with what i said. We're interviewed by Kuiyu.. really out from expectation that that hawaii guy will become so strict when it came to business. ><
First Victim: Peko
"So.. what u hv done? database, huh? can show me the data u entered? any text file? you didn't store it? so, everytime they want to set up the database, they have to call you, and they can't set up it by themselves? not bad, at least the company can't fire you, because they need you to set it.. And what? You're website debugger? can you show me the documentation of testing you have done? no, no, i dont want to see the interface, i want the documentation. Dont have? You can said that you have done milliion of tests and nobody know the truth rite?"
Second Victim: Duncan
"Can I see the portion of code you had done? This? what have you done with it? Get set method? Alrite, what is so special about it? No? then can show me another thing? wait2.. there got some code.. what does it means? you dont' know? you think that's regex? Are you sure? So you didn't write all the code by yourself? ok..."
Third Victim: Me
"Ok.. You are the team leader? no? What have you done? login logout? anything special? just take data from database and compare it right? you have anything to prevent hacker? maybe after login 3times, they will be blocked? no? Do you use encription for their password? or just simple text? you used session? good, how long you set it to be idled before we will need to login again? you dont know!? you make the code and you dont know? great... can i see the repository? 33 revision. No wonder.. Other groups are around 700+"
Fourth Victim: Yongky
"So.. you are the main coder? Any special code you have done? heem.. ok.. so the announcement can handled html.. ok.. anything else? you make the checkbox? ok.. that's look great. How you made it? heem.. ok2.. that's all? Anything else?"
Fifth Victim: Wanting
"You have anything to show me? Anything nice like the checkbox? the interface? ow, you make the flash from scratch? you mean, you take all the wedding pictures by yourself? no? alrite.. what code have you done? You didn't do copy paste? well, copy paste is fine for me. But, you didn't use css? ok.. "
Sixth Victim: Rizky
"What is the hardest part for you? Regex? but why? It's just a line of code rite?"
Last but not Least: Shirley
"What is this for loop? for validation? You didn't use regex? hah? You don't know how to use regex!? but you studied it during csc207 rite? well.. at least, it looked like you did more coding than Rizky, since yours are 9 lines while Rizky only 1 line"

Story of the Short amazing holiday :D
So, the war was over on Thursday, along with the MB362 report result.. yuhuuuii, Our Team got a big 'A'.. so happyy :D.. However.. poor albert kept sneezing during the exam.. It must be very irritating for you.. L.. after all, he managed to do well in the exam J then.. he went back to his new room (oh yes, finally moved on Wednesday :P) and had a rest for awhile. I myself, got back to hostel, packed and returned textbook to Kefarng (thanx so much!), had a nice shower, then walking under the rain to hall 8 (with umbrella, for sure :P) .. later.. we went to have dinner at our most waited KFC ^^… we got our favorites 2 upper thigh and 2 chest.. but.. Albert felt tasteless.. L.. too bad.. however, we enjoy our dinner.. ^^v.. Later, went to order the cake for Nancy n WK at Polar… then shopped at FairPrice, and went back to NTU taking 199.. Only when we chitchat at bus, we realized that we forgot to bring back the umbrella from KFC! The cute part was, we shouted at the same time ^^;
Back to his hall, he prepared to sleep. After making sure everything, I went back to my room. J Have a chat with blazers, then went to ZzzZz too.
Friday was dating day!! Albert had felt a lot better, although not totally recovered yet. We set off from NTU at 2.30, right to dobby ghaut. Got the ticket for MI 3 at plaza Singapore, then went for a coffee break at Starbuck :D 2 frappucino… mmmm ;).. then, we went to watch MI3… Tell you what.. the movie was excellent! Very attention catchin right from the start! 2 thumbs up for the agent Hunt :P
Done with the movie, we had windows shopping for awhile.. looked for ipod casing. And.. since we’re curious to know how long can the ipod be used to play video.. we asked the customer service counter.. then.. I found out that my ipod might be defected… they were not really sure how long can it last for, but 15 minutes are absolutely too short ^^;.. So, my ipod was parted with me there.. for further checking.. buiih.. going to miss you, pod. Wait for your news soon… (hopefully being replaced…. Sadhu.. 3x)
After the ipod, we move for the Guess watch.. looking for 3 shop until we eventually found someone who can shorten the wrist length. Now I can wear the birthday present.. huraaayy :D :D.. luv it so much, really ^^.. Thanks a lot albert ^^.. Filled with happiness, we then went to pasta mania to fill our stomach too. :P.. We wanted to eat at Marche at the first place.. but then.. it was renovated ^^;.. Anyway, Pastamania was very2 nice! It’s the first time I went there.. and most probably, wont be the last time :)
We finished our dinner at around 10.. later, went back to NTU again.. reached there 11++ (thanx so much to send me home ;)) get ready to sleep.. then.. zZzzz.. What a day :D
Saturday… Wake up at 9.30 ^^ (never thought I can make it!.. alrite.. must thanx to Inche too.. hahaha..).. After cleaning up our room, I went for lunch with Albert.. then began the watch King Kong at his room(eventually, after so many delay ^^;).. in the middle of King Kong.. we have a nap.. then continued.. huahaha.. finished with it, I went back for shower, went to JP to take the cake, and had dinner.. and watched Crash at hall6. The movie was very distinct. It’s like they don’t really have a star in the movie, quite disconnected between each scene, but it is all talking about racist. Not really had a story line, but it could keep me interested until the end of the movie ;) well done :D.. Next! After the movie, it’s the time to celebrate Nancy and WK ‘s B’day at hall 2. It was raining soo soo hard, but still, the party went pretty well.. and ended up at almost 2… Very sleepy at that time.. + the rainy comforting weather.. I slept soundly…
…Until 11 again on Sunday! Huaa ^^;.. Now it’s the time for me to get back to work.. I just finisdh lunch.. plan to take a look at my CID project.. however… however.. very very sleepy.. ^^;.. As I typed my blog, I also almost felt to sleep ^^;… (soo.. sorry for the lousy writing today… or it’s just the same like everyday?.. huaha..) Ok.. the holiday is almost over.. Everybody…. All the best in anything you do!
Regards,
Erlin.D

2 days to...
Counting down! 2 days to...? to..? heem.. to the end of this pseudoholiday :( .. to the last paper of this year :)... to the KFC.. (upsss.. nyam2..) and also to the start of all the project, ureca, and cec again.. but hang on.. no, no, not before a whole fun weekend on next friday and saturday :P
And.. for this sunday, i enjoyed it very much ^^.. spending time watching scary movie 4 with Albert.. then have a nice dinner together.. then go back to room.. and relax2 again, watching THE WILD, the new disney's movie.. (seems like i began to be movie addicted eventually..).. ^^;
for monday.. I didn't do much.. slept until 11++ >< ... Albert eventually da pao chicken rice for my lunch... (thanx so much!) then.. he went to look for the place (condo) found by agent, along with jipau, masli, and lina. He said that he finally found 1 condo which look very suitable for them.. hopefully they can get it at the right price :) then... later, we had dinner at can2.. oh.. beefball.. felt like ages already.. ^^;.. huahaha.. With the rotund belly, i eventually back to hall, watch ICE AGE 2.. such a nice movie ;)
Actually, i really almost lost count of day.. fuuiih.. almost can't remember if I actually did something the day before? or it was the 2 days before? Is today sunday? time like really travel too fast ^^;..
today.. i woke up at 8.30... with a humble reason to help Albert move to the new hall.. but.. unluckily... the key for new room is not yet available... :( thus eventually... since we already had such a nice breakfast and charged with power, we went to gym at hall 8 (Yay! my first gym at hall 8.. and.. my first gym this semester?) whooaa.. it was soo fuunn.. ^^.. I ran for about 30 minutes... managed to burn 200 calories! (yees, then can eat more today!) hihihi.. finished with trackmile, we went back to Albert's room, watched the 'RUMOR has it all' by Jennifer aniston for awhile, then went for lunch.. lalala.. i just noticed that vege got a new owner.. still vege, for sure, but the style is like vege at can A, no more liong to fu :(.. i kinda miss it... afterall, i give a try to the new vege.. rice + 3 kind of menu for $2. not bad ;).. however, it's just the same like can A.. with diffrence that can A charged only $1.8.. huahaha.. anyway, $2 is still reasonable, compared to $3 for one prata by the muslim stall :S...
Finish with the lunch, Albert help me to ask for empty boxes... yep.. might need it for moving my stuff later.. but.. no box left :(.. i were asked to came back another day ^^;.. later, he accompanied me to go back to hall 6.. had a shower.. then both of us were ready for the Lucky Number Sleven Movie.. uhui ;).. The movie... ehem... ok.. i admitted that i can't understand most of the part (don't know due to no subtitle or the movie itself..) but.. the end of the movie tied up every scene that we saw. Not too bad ;) Bruce Will is cooll! However, Lucy Liu look like thailand woman i saw in Bridget Jones diary ^^; (not a compliment for her, for sure.. sorry...)
After the 2 hours of movie, we have chit chat until around 4.30.. then i went back to hall.. wrote email to my best friend.. Phing.. miss her so much... Also reply email from Herlina and Elizabeth.. ho ho.. finished with those.. have a shower.. then ready to type this blog while waiting for the dinner time :P :P..
Ok.. that's all for these pseudo holiday days! :D :D :D Just if everyday like this.. heemmm ^^
Remember to take camera on Thursday!
