Update

My room mate is here. She seems nice. So no worries there yet. And I went and bought a broadband. The name's 'yes'. Never seen it before. But it seems pretty quick. Much quicker than the one I had, Celcom whose line disappear from 8.30pm onwards. Annoying because that's the time I online.... >.<

New Book

I finished this book, Secret Society by Tom Dolby in four hours. And I can't wait to get my hands on the second book, The Trust. How the hell am I suppose to get it!!! T_T *frustrated*

The plot was nice. Different from the other books. Fresh. The characters are mostly rich people with endless possibilities for their future. But, they aren't stuck up. They have their own dilemma. The societies help them but, you can never quit the society. And it isn't that bright and easy. There are complications and things can get deadly. Overall, interesting...

I want BOOK 2!

That tour

Starts at 9am till 6.30am... Real exhausting. First stop, Royal Selangor. They make pewter there. Went to the archieves. Lots of pictures taken. Souveniers and homeware, gifts made from pewter are seen. They have Lord of the rings statues and heads made from pewter.
                                                         

Next stop, handcraft complex. There's a gallery with all kinds of exhibits.  Describing our culture.
Then the petrosains. My first time here. It's located inside klcc, fourth floor.

And of course I take the chance to visit the bookstore, kinokuniya. First time here as well.

Also went to cocoa boutique. They sell chocolates. All kinds. From normal dark chocolate to curry flavoured chocolate, Tongkat Ali chocolate. But they are way too expensive. Also went to batik factory. See them draw the batik. Pretty. And skillful.

Last stop, Titiwangsa. First time here as well. Hehe.  Breezy and large.

Then, time to head home. As in back to hostel. >.<

New theory

maybe my stress comes from the feeling of being trapped. Now I remembered. During NS, I had a strong feeling of being lock up and no freedom. That time I felt horrible. Like trapped in a jail.. Now, the feelings are quite similar. I don't like not being able to go out because I'm not familiar with my surroundings. So, is it possible that the stressed comes from feelings of being trapped? Losing freedom?

That's the event: Ain't no strawberry!

"Strawberry Generation: They look chic and sophisticated. They are soft and get hurt easily. They seem unbearably spoilt and can't take much pressure. They are the so called strawberry generation."

"The term was coined by taiwan writer in one of her books about office rules. This expression is now finding its way into mainland, and refers to young workers, of only child families, who have been active in the workforce for just a year or two. They are generally well educated but are self-centered and give too much importance to appearance and material comforts."

Above is quoted from the booklet given in the event organized for freshman "Ain't No Strawberry!"
The event was quite fun. Starts from 9am till 4.30pm. The ice breaking game is forming groups of three and two roleplay trees and one roleplay squirrel. Now, when they say timber, the trees switch partners. When they say hunter, the squirrels changed trees, when they say "TSUNAMI", everyone scatter and find new partners. Be it trees or squirrels. Then go into groups randomly. I'm in group 2. There are 12 person in my group and two instructors(seniors). And it's like telematch/station game.

First station, pass balloon using your legs to the person behind you. There are eight rounds. Second station, like the japanese scooping goldfish game. Instead of goldfish, we have to scoop ping pong ball. Two balls at a time. Using a plastic frame with handgrip and tissue paper. Be creative. Try to strap the tissue paper onto the frame. Only three pieces of tissue is given. Altogether scoop 6 balls. Then there's the bonus game as well. Fun.

Third station, guess the word. 4 person give hint, four person guess, another four wait at the side. Then change place. Fourth station, six person in a group. Tie the legs together, then move forward then back again. Funny.. Fifth station, easier. Just draw the stones needed from a box. The stones sre coloured and have to pick the right colours. Lucky draw. But by that time, we're tired and thirsty. the weather was so hot. After that, went for lunch.

Not finish yet of course. After lunch, went inside the air-conditioned hall(thank goodness). Played a game called treasure hunt. Five chairs in the middle. All groups form circle around the chair. Then when the MC asks for items like, 5 shoe laces, each group have to collect from their members the item then run to the center and sit on the chair there. The MC asks for things like longest hair, shortest person, watches, shoes, socks(eww...) and longest leghair... Lol...

Afterwards, watch a drama presented by seniors. Great performance. And looks familiar... Hmmm.... Hahaz. Then group sharing and at last, dance, take photo and head home! Long day! Exhausted.

Just wondering, am I a strawberry? Are you? ^-^

Time

College orientation, forced to participate. Or else, I'll really have nothing to do. But, so tiring. Can't really expressed my true feeling. Not suitable for public eyes as yet. See how long can I stand this. Time moves on quick. And so do life. Isn't it?

Gonna go for the KL tour and Malacca tour. Pass time. What I'm lacking is probably courage. It will come eventually. It always did at the last minute. Or else, I won't be here. Will I?

Random thoughts and typing. Might not make much sense but I need something to do. So here I am... Typing randomly. Optimistic, pessimistic? Live in the past, live in present, or live in future? That's the quiz we were given yesterday. And guess which am I?

And another discovery, during Form 3, when the teacher asks us to do the personality test, at that time the result is I am stressed free. Form 5, from my attitude and feeling when compared with the symptoms for stressed, I'm also stressed free. Then in Form 6, all the symptoms of stress appear. Exactly the same as what the booklet says. So, it means that from that time onwards, I've changed. Hmmm... What's the trigger exactly? I can't find the cause. National service? I don't think so. They taught stress management at that time as well. If it appears already, i should know. Form 6. Really? Or now? More like came from that time.

What do I do when I'm stressed? I tend to run away from stuff I should do. Like doing cleaning suddenly, playing computer games, read, sleep, eat. I put on weight during the stpm exam. Then it goes down again afterwards. Hope I don't gain weight now again because of the stress. Nor do I want to loose weight. I think... hard to say, consider how choosy I am, the food here really isn't my favourite.

Now I KNOW

I wonder. If internet, computer, phone is that important. All I need is a book. Usually. Now, nope. I need something more to occupy me. I finish reading too quickly. Not enough books. And they are a too expensive hobby. So, I turn to the internet. See... It takes up more time. Fill in the boredom. Actually, I don't find much to do in the internet as well. Watching drama, connection too slow. Best just surf the net, facebook, gaia. Look for games and so on. Life is so empty and boring now. Give me something interesting to do!!! T_T
