Sorry Mr Lizard,I didn't mean to kill you.May you R.I.P.=)

I was driving on the way to my brother's friend's house to drop him there when suddenly,a monitor lizard out in the blue crossed the road. At that time,I was driving quite fast as it is a fast lane(the slope up to Inti college and Equatorial Hotel) and....that spot when it came out was very dark ( that spot has no lamp post).All I could do was grab my heart,scream......I rammed into it.Me and my bro could practically feel the car going over it like over a bump.Gosh.After dropping my bro,I went back home using the same road and I saw it lying there.Definitely dead.I wasn't brave enough to stop my car and took a photo of it for this blog...hahaha...that's insane!Could see that it was quite a big fat lizard.Wasn't a baby one.As I'm blogging now,I feel a little guilty and sorry for that lizard but,there was nothing I could do.

A quiet CNY

Sigh.My cousin studying in Indonesia is not back to celebrate CNY with us,nor is my nephews in Singapore.Sad.Especially for my cousin,I don't think I'll see him again until....next year?2 years time?Well for my nephews,it's not too bad...because I'm going down to Singapore next week...LUCKILY.....So I'll still get to see them before going overseas.But without them,I'm sure this CNY will be a very quiet 1......Every year,we look forward to see each other during this festival,but this year is the 1st time they didn't come back.Ah!!!!Well,it's ok.....as long as there's still ang pau right? Hahahaha.......I'm still looking forward for this CNY beacuse next week,I'll be having a little 'reunion' with my primary friends in Singapore....Gosh...can't wait to see them.For some of them,I've not seen them since year 2001.I'm sure there'll be a lot of catching up to do when we meet!=)For now,BRING ON THE ANG PAUS!!!!=)=)

Expensive taste

Just came back from dinner with family,and we got a heart attack during dinner.....except for my sister.She ordered 'bihun soup'....

Looks like a normal common dish right?For your info,it was RM18!!!!



The rest of us ordered 'dry hokkien mee'(if you didn't know there is 'dry hokkien mee' in Penang, now you know.... a stall near my house sells it)

It was just RM2.50......and it was good!!

What my sis ordered was approximately 7 plates of 'dry hokkien mee'......It was sooo expensive because she ordered ho liao....2 giant prawns + some fish + and a few bird eggs.

Gila right?I hope she had learnt her lesson and know her limits next time.We weren't angry at her, but when we heard the price,our heart skipped a beat and our ears nearly dropped=)

Adelaide is the place

Today,I've made my descision.Adelaide is the place.Why?Because Auckland university of technology(AUT) still can't give an offer after months of chasing them.Oh yes,they emailed me today...but not the news I wanted to hear.They practically wrote "Places for physiotherapy course are limited and beacuse of your late application,there might not be a place for you.You might want to consider other course as a backup plan."Late application?I applied since last september and it is considered late?What kind of nonsense is this!Other unis will only offer you other courses if either you didn't meet your pre-u requirement or the place for the course is full....While for AUT,they offer me other courses when they can't even give me a simple notification whether I have a place or not....what a joke!It's already less than a month's time....next week is cny....I can't wait anymore...I can't trust AUT...no way I'm gonna continue waiting. I've also just realised I missed calculated the total cost of studying in Adelaide.The tuition fees is not a 100k difference with AUT,it's actually cheaper.Like I have mention in my previous blog,I may not get to do physio in Adelaide,provided I meet certain archievement and there is places that time.I've decided to trust God.I know He will provide me a place if it's according to His will....If not,I'm sure He has a better plan for me.I just have to do my part in doing well for the 1 year diploma of health science programme in SAIBT college,and God will do the rest.


I'm just disappointed with the attitude of AUT,that's all.Really unfair to me,really unprofessional. Even if I get an offer from them tmr,I have made up my mind.I don't want to be their student.I've decided to put my future and trust totally on God.

My very 1st car accident 3 days before my 1 year licence anniversary

Tonight,I thought I'll be blogging happily about how Man Utd went to the top of the table,but no. That's not the big story today.It's about my very 1st car accident I had.It all started this way...My brother called me to buy newspaper when I was on the way home.I decided to go to a sundry shop nearby my house to buy.Since the shop did not sell "The Star",I made a u-turn and decided to go a 7eleven shop nearby.As I was making a left turn from a sharp junction,I realised a motorbike behind my car lost control,knock my car from behind,and terbalik.Made no mistake,I have put my left signal early on before making the turn.I came down from the car and found that guy lying on the road.....he has fainted!He just had some small cuts at his fingers and legs.....no serious injuries but he had a big bum on his head.Soon,there were a few people surrounding us and I started to explain what happened.When that guy woke up,I dragged him to the side of the road and carried his stuff that had fall off the bike.Out of the crowd,there was 1 man.....that fella started scolding me,talked a lot of junk with me,as if he saw what happened.For goodness sake,he was just 1 of the kepo chees. Since he was an old man,I decided to kept my cool,explain to him and just keep quiet as he barks. Not to waste anymore time,I brought that person to GH hospital after the clinic doctor adviced me to.As I was waiting patiently for him in the emergency place,I realised I've lost him....I don't know where the nurse have taken him.Forget it!I then decided to make a police report....After asking around,finally got to the place,Dato Kramat Police station.





I went in there,the traffic police immediately gave me a piece of paper.

Crap.....Had to do these fill ins and write a karangan on what happened....My BM is like...rusted d....The last time I wrote an essay was like....8 months ago....I actually can write in english but nahh....it eats into my ego as a malaysian=)




Saw this right in front of me....If you observe properly,you will spot a spelling mistake...





Can't spot it?Can you see it now?Shame....remembering the fact that this is in a police station... If a tourist sees this,malu lah....




Anyway,managed to complete my report in BM...though it's abit rojak,I should be proud of myself....haha.



After the police man read my report he told me 'Oh....sorryla dik..yu tak boleh buat repot di sini kerana kemalangan itu berlaku di Sungai Ara....kena pergi ke balai polis Bayan Lepas!'Fine...with my black face,I drove all the way to Bayan Lepas police station....




To cut the long story short,the police inspector concluded that according to the law,I am wrong. He said I should let the motocyclist pass the junction 1st before me turning left. Yes,he did not put the left signal,but the way he drove so closely to the pavement gave me the impression that he was gonna turn left. He knocked me,not I knocked him. Though that guy could be at fault for not being alert,driving too fast that he couldn't brake on time or whatever,law is law,I'm wrong.Sigh.The inspector also took photographs of my car(it's my mum's car actually,lol).....






Just decided to make a u-turn from going straight home which was just 1 min away just to buy a newspaper and wow....what a day!What an exhausting day!Whole day gone....my afternoon sleep gone,gym gone,playing football gone.I now fear is my licence....Shouldn't be a problem as it is just a small accident but well,I'm actually quite scared....Just have to pray that that guy in hospital will be well soon....than everything will be okay.....I've fully understand the accident law game.

It's time to go top!!

Tonight will be the night that Man Utd can go top of the table....provided they beat Bolten today. After more than half the season gone,it's finally the time they can be top after a slow start to the season.Well as always,Utd are always known as slow starters....They usually produce their best form in the 2nd half of the season....so watch out,Liverpool fans!!As I'm still waiting anxiously for the AUT offer,football is something that can always cheer me up....especially after the 3-0 trashing of Chelsea last week!!Watching Man Utd games can help me de-stress...during exam times,or any anxious times like now....but watching Utd games can be stressful too...haha....especially when they are not playing well!But,stress in an enjoyable way....lol.Well,hope they will go top this weekend!Glory glory Man Utd!!

Running out of patience....

Okay,can someone tell me when I'll get my offer from AUT?I've been waiting anxiously for it since new year's day....Well,at least I've receive an offer from SAIBT.It's a college that links me up with uniSA.Why must I go to a college?That's because my TER wasn't good enough to do physio in uniSA.....Sigh.So the offer was this.....I need to achieve a certain result in SAIBT,then I am only assured I can do physio in uniSA in the 2nd year....means that I skip the 1st year....means that I do not waste any year....But still,I don't wanna be in a rat race again.The past 2 years have been a rat race exam year for me.....SPM and SAM.I don't think I can tahan another so called 'exam year' for me....having the pressure to do well so that I can get into the course I want.If I cannot achive the score needed,how ar???Change course?My parents will kill me....and I don't think I can accept that as well.It's like...my SAM result was useless.....I could have maybe done it locally in Malaysia....I don't wanna have this regret.Besides that,studying in Adelaide will be more expensive than in Auckland....a 100k difference....just on tuition fees itself.Besides that,if I go Adelaide,I definitely have to work,to cover up my accomodation and food....if not,sure will be way beyond my parent's budget d.If I go Auckland,I'm not pressured to work,because even if I don't work,it's within budget.Of course,I'll still try to work to help my parents....My bro will be going college starting next year...So,it's important that I help my parents reduce their cost on me as much as I can....I cannot guarantee that I can cope working and studying at the same time.Apart from that,if I get AUT, I can do physio direct d....no rat race......So.....It's a much safer game if I go AUT.If in Auckland,I work to help my parents reduce cost while if in Adelaide,I'm working to......survive.....It's a 2 different thing altogether.
So.....Please!!!!AUT!!!!Give me an offer soon!!!Give me a place!!!!(by right,getting a place shouldn't be an issue as I've met the TER requirement and have hand in my medical check up report)
