~13th April 2006~

Guess this shows what a real crapper I really am, having to update my blogs so often, although I still haven’t got a internet network to post my entries, I’m actually blogging at my laptop (M.W of course). Its sounds weird but the thing is, each student here is given a laptop with the IP address set etc. Therefore to gain access to the internet network here I got to have an IP address of which I still didn’t manage to obtain until today. (heard that my seniors only got their laptops one month later last year)

Current status: Lunch break, so as usual I’m back in my room.

I just had my first PE lesson. Well, it wasn’t that great. At first there was a lot of anticipation from me, after all, how long since we last had PE in Malaysia? But….(yes, again the “but” word)Hearing from Anuar about how the Japanese can actually run etc, it scares me a little. I mean, being the “kiasu” type and worry-wart as usual, I worried the whole day yesterday of what to wear to the lesson and also what if I made a fool out of myself here? Thus, having to finish class early yesterday, I actually managed to drag my lazy feet out to the streets with my bicycle. I now know that its not that I cannot cycle, it’s just that my first ride attempt here was a night, a dinner outing with my seniors, thus the non stop falling and of-balance falls. I was fine yesterday and I tried to look around my area after making a visit to the post office, Shansi mall for my sports outfit today and also a visit to the train station.(Vital for my trip-plans)

The class started of with some briefing and then we had to do some test. Run for 50metres, see how far can one throw the ball etc. It was not that fun at all. I’m glad I managed to get out of class and move around but I’m not at all glad to not do well in the tests, but then it also hit me that it has been ages since I last exercise and also…I’m 20. Not young and active 17+ or 18 like them.*shrugs..I know,I know, I sound like I’m making excuses to comfort myself, but hey, I didn’t do THAT bad ok? Don’t think too much..

Gotta run..15minutes to class, blogged for 15 minutes..I’m good….*grin…

…..Reading back what I’ve written just now seems funny, I mean it was only things that happened just a few hours ago where the time was 12.35pm. It is now 4.35pm. I’m having different train of thoughts again and AGAIN I’m crapping here.

On the way back I’ve noticed the small buds of leaves growing from the branches-only tree. I guess I tend to notice all these things now that there’s four season here. I even noticed some lavender growing at the side of the pave walk below the lamppost yesterday while I was cycling around. Not to mention the small yellow flowers at the grass in front of my hostel (I think they call it tweed but heck I call it a flower). The weather is getting warmer as evidence I can now go out to class with only 2layers of shirts compared to the max 5 when it was raining and freezing cold. Still evenings are cold and I shudder to sleep everyday. The first sign of spring is here but then when is spring coming anyway???(‘cuz its still chilly and killing me)

By the way, I’ve got to stop wasting my time on nothing and start reading and do some revisions. Why I’ve got to start doing revision this early?? You guys must be thinking seeing that it’s only my 2nd week here but heck, I’ve chosen a course which has the most amount of small tests although there’s less reports to write. To make things matter, every test counts to my major exam and the point counting system is VERY complicated. And as I have nil idea what the teachers are saying about the small tests, I guess it doesn’t hurt if I try my best right? I mean until then I’ll naturally learn how to count the points so there…

Sigh, things have been a breeze so far, not to say a piece of cake but nevertheless lessons are still manageable until today. I really have no idea at what the teacher is talking about especially on bio where I’ve not taken for the past 3 years. Plus, it doesn’t help if I get sleepy, yes, sleepy…*roll my eyes..I don’t want to nod off but then sometimes, it’s hard to control. I shall not go on with the reasons for there are lots forming in my brain right now. The thing is when I get sleepy not only I cannot understand what the lecturer is saying, my notes gets weird and ugly too and to tell ya all the truth, I have this quirkiness of erasing the words I wrote if its not readable and comprehensible and rewrite the whole thing until I’m satisfied. So there, with a blurry mind, it’s very energy consuming to write down things that I can actually HEAR but not LISTEN..Lucky for me today it only lasted for that 10minutes, something jolted me up and I was fresh until the end of class. I have no idea what or who though..

So there, end of blogging for now, revision, here I come…
