Goodbye weekend, Hello Monday

Its Monday once again... My favorite day of the week...(that's so not true). I already have Monday blues and to spice things up, I have a full class on Monday. Did I mention FULL? (definition of FULL : Eng, 8-10; Econs, 10-12; Accounts, 1-3; IT, 3-5) So ppl, don't you dare say you have a full day class unless you have a timetable like mine, which only gives us time to breathe during lunch hour ( how'd you expect us to breathe when the canteen is packed with humans?) - ignore the replacement of people with humans, its just something odd about me.

Nevertheless, it was a usual Monday.
1. The snooze button on my alarm clock has to work extra hard.
2. The usual rushing when i realize that I've got only 20 mins left to wash up, shower and get to class
3. Walking into class at 8.10 with 'Morning miss, sorry I'm late
4. It's Monday morning miss. ( when my lecturer Ms suba asks where everyone else is)

It's true. It is a Monday morning. Although students are supposed to be full of energy and ready for the lesson after a weekend of relaxing, this monday routine happens in every college in the world. (and im not kidding)

One interesting thing about today is that i nearly lost RM70, not in cash form but in book form. As usual, we bring loads of books to class(thanks to our hectic schedule). And like always, we leave them in class during our break cause we use the exact same class back again after lunch at 3pm. T307 is like the class owned by AF2. we have nearly 70% of our classes there (its just an estimated figure). When we returned to the classroom at 3pm, jeng jeng jeng.... we couldnt't find our books. My IT book which costs RM70, my english booklet and michelle's econs book which costs a whole 110 ringgit. You can start imagining the looks on our faces when we couldn't find our books on the chair at the back of the class where we left it. Our smiles just dropped into a frown. It was as though the fairies dancing in our mind just danced straight into a brick wall. We went round the college looking for the cleaners who cleared T block to see if they had cleard our books and put it aside. We went to the lost and found where we got 'ahem' lets just leave that out. Its not that we were 'that' dumb to leave our books there. Stop blaming us for every single small tiny mistake we make. You dont expect us to carry our books all the way to the canteen and back to T307 for our next class. It's heavy, if you didnt know. After a whole scavanger hunt around NIC, we gave up, returned to our class and kinda started to think if we were 'that' dumb to leave our books in the class. As they say, there's always a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. This pot of gold finally appeared when we found out that a friend, who thought we accidentaly left our books in the classroom was so extremely kind enough to take it for us. I guess the day was not that bad after all.(it would've been if we didnt find our books).

Things happen when you least expect it.. Maybe it's time to start expecting things to happen so you'll learn to accept it. First, accept it. Second, get used to it. Third, get immune to it. And after that, i guess its just another thing in life that is bound to happen rather often. Guys will always be guys and vice versa. Its a fact of life that will never ever change. I repeat, NEVER EVER. Did i stress on Never? Odd blog you will say. You can say that again. Wasn't supposed to be a blog but didn't know what to do with my..er.. do i call it anger? Sounds a little too drastic. Nevertheless, this is what blogs are for arent they? or have i got the wrong definition of it. Im starting to type senseless stuff. I had better stop.

A Step Closer to Stardom!

It was just another Sunday morning here in NIC... i woke up only to find that it was barely 9am. Of course i went back to bed hoping to get more rest. Its only during weekends that i get to sleep in cause of my hectic timetable which gives me no choice but to wake up at 7am every morning for class. As i was just going back to sleep, and hopefully back to a nice dream, my phone rang. Arrghh... who is it now? To my surprise, it was my uncles from kl who decided to come down to nilai to bring me lunch. Wohoo...!!! Not so bad of a phone call after all. After a while, mom called... I expected the usual phone conversations with here but today was a totally different one. She called not just to say hie but to tell me i was in the papers!~ What? The Star? What for? That definitely gave me a shock. It was an article about the Valentines Dinner i attended recently in La Trobe Restaurant here in my college. Imagine my mom telling me, 'Trace, you're a star' hehehe... doesnt sound too right, does it? Dad agreed to send me the clipping of that article so that i could see for myself how 'stardom' was like! Just seconds after i was done 'feeling like a star' with my mom, the phone rang once more. This time it was Roshan! my buddy from penang who is now in kl studin called me to tell me how much of a drama queen i was thanks to that article in the papers. Acting like a journalist, he 'interviewed' me about that night and started a whole issue of me being the new drama queen and he promoting it to his whole BNN (short for Bob News Network-his so-called network for uninteresting publicity that only interests him) After a whole 12 minutes, the drama between Roshan and I finally ended. Phew. We could actually go on and on about he being a drama king and me being the drama queen. Sounds dumb doesn't it? The next phone call of 'stardom' came from my uncle's who were on their way down to nilai to visit their 'favorite' niece (by the way, that's self claimed.. hehe) 'Someone's in the papers lo... And in colour too' hehhe.... My uncle's arrived at about 12 and brought lunch, magazines, grapes(yummy) and breakfast for tomorrow... As i sit here ending my blog for the day and eating my lunch, this day has indeed had a very interesting start!

Sudden Return!~

Suprised by the sudden return? So am i. Its been months since i came back here or even read blogs. Nothing was really interesting, thus explains my inexistance in the world of blogging. Why the sudden return you may ask. It was insperation. I was inspired. Inspired by a very interesting blog that caught my eye. As i am extremely busy in the busy college life of mine, i decided that now is a perfect time to update my blog. You see, im now in the second floor of my college resource centre. Anyone from NIC would know that im in the computer lab for a class. Don't get me wrong. I'm not sleeping in class, neither am i not paying attention. The usual routine for lab classes is that you just do exactly what you're asked to do, that is according to the papers that you collect from the mac centre. When you're done, all you have to do is shout for 'MISS' and she'll come running with her paper to check on you. Not running exactly, but more like interested if you can finish it yourself. If you need help, just do the exact thing. She'll be at your place just with a small 'MISS . Today's lab is more boring that usual. Does it sound very negative? Boring as in she's telling us what to type in, instead of the usual copying from the papers. So while she's writing what we need to type on the whiteboard (she ain't moving that fast.. if she was, i wouldn't be blogging would i?) , Im here at my place blogging for the first time after a very very long time. There's loads I wana blog, to make my life more interesting, cause believe it or not, it is kinda interesting here with the very many college activities that's really keeping me busy; apart from the mid terms, assestments and of course weekly economic tutorials from Ms. Chiam. (but really, its for our own good. at least she gives us something to ensure we get what she's saying in the very early morning lecture on tuesdays). Other than that, my life here is not bad. Time passes really fast and lab class is done already! Wohoo. As i sit here typing my last few words, everyone else is already gathering their books to leave the class. Guess i should be leaving now too cause its lunch time!~ wohooo.. my favourite time of the day!~
