#40 End of 9 months holiday.

9 months of holiday-ing. Doing nothing. Wasting my life away.....
In exactly a week (next Thursday, Sept 16th), I'll be leaving Sibu, heading to KL. Will be in KL for one night, then the next day, bro will be driving us 'up' to Penang.
In exactly a week and 4 days (Sept 20th), I'll be starting my 6 years medicine study at PMC/UCD or RCSI. D:

Freaking out! Nope. = 3= Still calm and collected as I usually am. I seriously hope I can cope, since I haven't been studying for sooo long. I have forgotten almost everything I learn. and get this, I still need to study physics... well medicine physics. Sighhh. Oh well, hope I can do okay with physics and pull through like I usually do.

And there's one thing. I FEEL SOOO OLD since my COUSIN'S SON will be my coursemate/classmate. WHAT THE HECK...
= 3= AAAAAHHHH. I seriously feel old and I'm not that old!





FML. -___-

Lyrics:

I don't wanna fall out but we're all out of time                     We say see ya later

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)                                 But I know there's no way we're

In one day no way  you'll be mine                                       Around here again

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)                                 Yeah, and every until next time

                                                                                        Feels like one bad punch line

My heart is running on empty                                            And I don't want that again

One more day and then we go

Yeah, the time goes on now                                              I don't wanna fall out but we're all out of time

Don't ask me how, I don't know                                         (Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)

We'll be home tomorrow                                                    In one day no way you'll be mine

But a thousand miles too far away                                     (Is this over?) (Don't want an ending) x2

Say you won't forget and I'll be okay

At least tonight it's just you and me and honestly                 Tonight's the countdown

That's everything I need                                                     Till the day we're not around

                                                                                        (Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)

CHORUS                                                                            And you're gone and we're on with our lives

I don't wanna fall out but we're all out of time                      (Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)                                  Don't want an ending

In one day no way you'll be mine                                         No, I (don't want an ending)

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)                                 We're all out of time

Tonight's the countdown till the day we're not around          Don't want an ending...

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)                                 Don't want an ending

And you're gone and we're on with our lives

(Is this over?) (Don't want an ending)

I don't want an ending

No, don't want an ending

The days turn to hours

And it's just a moment before they go

I'm scared to say goodbye

Cause what's after that I don't know

As the years slip past us 

If we lose track or lose the fight

I will search forever

To find a way back to you tonight

Where it's just you and me and honestly

That's everything I need

[CHORUS]

#38 September

It's September:

Of all the things I still remember

Summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could have been

It was worth it in the end

To myself, going off to PMC soon:

Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear

So we made our way by finding what was real

Now the days are so long that summer's moving on

We reach for something that's already gone

Dedicated to my friends overseas/not in Sibu:

We knew we had to leave this town

But we never knew when and we never knew how

We could end up here the way we are

Yeah we knew we had to leave this town

but we never knew when and we never knew how

Lyrics from Daughtry's September. Not full lyrics :)

#37 Reminiscence

The memories that one had

The younger years
The innocent times
Those carefree days
Those happy moments
Where one insignificant thing
Seems to brighten up
The world that was once known
Forever a memory
Hidden deep within the heart
Just to be reminisce

Missing the times as a child. Being a teenager/grownup is not a walk in the park.

#36 MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!!!!

This post is dedicated to my country, Malaysia on it's National Day/ Independence Day, 31st August.

Refraining from any bad things as hard as I can for this special day. 

Really trying very hard, stopping myself to say not-so-nice-to-listen(or in this case see) stuff.

Just thought of this yesterday: I am very patriotic cause I stay at Jalan Merdeka. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAH. yeah I know, lame. pfft.

Thinking back the past few years of National Day... I think of the last year of high school when my school celebrated Hari Merdeka. You see, every year we would have a special assembly for Hari Merdeka. We sing patriotic songs -- Jalur Gemilang (my fav cause of the melody), KeranaMu, and of course Negaraku (National anthem). Usually we would just sing like certain parts really loud e.g. Jalur Gemilang we would just sing JALUR GEMILANG at the chorus and especially at the end really loud. Same goes for KeranaMu! That's the fun part of it. Some students brought the Malaysian flag, ran around the hall with it. :) BUT. the special assembly wasn't on 31st August of course, it's a HOLIDAY! National days are spent lazing around at home, glad for the opportunity to skip school/classes, out shopping [usually there would be a one day Merdeka sales]. Certain years, the school had the annual food fair on National Day, so would be spent hanging out with friends having fun at school.

I don't remember how I spent National Day last year, the first year out of high school. 

Was contemplating if I should use Malay to write this post, patriotism? Hah.... decided against it. Cause definitely can't write full sentences in Malay. If rojak language, can lah (Manglish mode kicking in for a moment).

So how am I gonna spend my National Day this year? Church gonna have a BBQ party over at Jubilee Park, Bukit Aup. Hoping to be able to go there cause it's been like a year since I've had BBQ. Have to see if my parents are up for it, especially mom =/ If I do go, that would take up the morning, and a little bit of the afternoon. Maybe should go shopping too, some places might have one day sale? But I think they're having sales now anyways cause Hari Raya's coming up.

Ooooh! IDEA! At first I didn't really know what to write in this post, guess it's ending up kinda long, huh? No worries, will be ending it soon. Just gotta do this first. 

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT MALAYSIA (No ranking/order)

1. The Manglish language which is humorous. 

2. I like 'LAH' :)

3. The practically all-year-round sales. 

4. The different types of cuisines. But nowadays you can find any type of food anywhere. =/ 

5. Everything about Malaysia

5. The stupid things Malaysian does. No offense. Refer to here to see what I mean.

6. Cheap food? Not really. Scratching this too. 

7. No disasters.... except for the floods, the mudslides.................... ok scratch this too.

Guess that's all. Not much I can think of. See the strikeouts... =/ Oh well.

Selamat Hari Merdeka / Selamat Hari Kebangsaan MALAYSIA!

#35 World

Just another one of my random rants. Deal with it.

What's happening to this world?

Sibu (seems off the map here), Pakistan, China. All flooding. 

Effects of global warming? 

I read a book again few days ago. VENUS by BEN BOVA. A sci-fi book. Which got me to thinking how Venus as in the 2nd planet nearest to the sun, Earth's sister planet, got to turn out the way it is. A world where the air is filled with toxic carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, ground temperatures of up to approx. 460 degree Celcius. Can you say hot or HOT? More like freaking burning HOT. Mercury, the nearest planet to the Sun is hot [max temp, approx 420 degree Celcius] but it has cold areas too [min temp, approx -170 degree Celcius]. And this is cause of the atmospheric gases on Venus.

Will Earth turn out that way too with the greenhouse effect/global warming? However, there's not a single drop of water on Venus.
SCIENCE TIME! -- One of the effects of global warming is the melting of icebergs at the poles of the Earth which leads to higher levels of water in the oceans/seas/rivers which in turn leads to more frequent floods in low lying coastal areas. [Sibu is not even a coastal area!] Hmm... but Venus has the runaway greenhouse effect, where all the waters on Venus [if there ever was] was boiled away. Let's see, for Earth to turn into Venus, that'll definitely take a super duper long time. The icebergs gotta melt first, before they can all be boiled away. By the time all the icebergs at the poles melt, Earth would be drowned by the oceans, before it turns into disaster Venus.
RELIGION TIME! -- Bear with me here. In the Bible, God punished the wicked by flooding the Earth, covering Earth in water. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights and took months for the water to recede to wherever/evaporate. God then send a rainbow as a promise to never cover the Earth in water again. So... the 'end of the world' would be FIRE not water. Which is scarier? Water or Fire? The wicked shall die by fire and the righteous should live.

Conclusion?

I think we'll be dead before the 'end of the world' arrives. Hopefully. Get rid of the thought of the world ending in 2012, the Mayans got lazy to continue their calendar/the person who was doing the calendar died before he could finish it, heck they didn't even last till modern times. So yeah, I'll just leave it at that. :)

Time to sleep. Ta-ta

P/S Pity the future generations :(

#34 Sibu, the town of floods / Atlantis-waiting-to-happen

It's August. Not supposed to be monsoon/rainy season in Sarawak. Been raining on and off for the past week. Result of the rains in Sarawak, Sibu is flooded, for the first time in the month of August.

Every Sibuan on Facebook has been sharing a video of the flood in Sibu... Nice video I would say, I especially like the ending. Upcoming election, I doubt BN would win. See what BN gets when they don't do their job properly, and they want people to vote for them. Sheesh~

Honestly, to me, being stuck at home (since there's no place interesting in Sibu to go to) I'm not really aware of how bad the flood is around town, since my place doesn't flood. Which reminds me, I haven't check the level of water in the drains outside my house. Well, the waters in Sibu flowed down (or is it up?) from Kapit. Whichever, I don't know where Kapit is exactly on the map =/

Sibu is a swampy area, so yeah, no wonder it floods a lot. BUT. It's also because of the poor drainage system, the fact that the Rejang River is getting shallower, and the lousy roads that sink-oh-so-fast due to poor workmanship.

The waters are disgusting, creepy crawlies, reported incidents of baby croc found in the drains. one word. GROSS. I used to like wading in the flood waters. But now the thought of it is just disgusting. Yuck.

Conclusion. Sibu shall sink into the sea, or drown in the sea. Whichever. It'll be Atlantis-waiting-to-happen :)

The next underwater town!
