First day of college. New subjects, lecturers and schedule...tuesday is my worst....12-6 classes man...fuh!
I can't say it was a bad day, but it wasn't very good as well..my psych lecturer is nice.
Developmental psych sounds really interesting. Good news, no lab report this sem...we're to do a journal on our individual development which i think its pretty cool. No format so it'll be fun to do..=)..the assignment is the tough part. To give a 30-40mins talk about development. Never gave a talk that long before but as people say, "its a First".
Finite maths today...i think in me, i wasn't looking forward to it. I enjoyed maths when i could do it, if not, it really is something i get fed up doing. We started on straight lines and gradient and all..y=mx+c...hahahaha...scary...one thing came to mind as the lecturer mentioned algebraic stuff, "Jasmine Wuan, thank you for your hours of tutoring me". haha. I don't know if i have it on my finger tips but i hope i still remember. =) I need help wei..haha
EN102 class was weird. Well i don't know what to describe it as exactly. I have a malay lecturer leturing english which is something different. He's good. His vocab is amazing. I'm sure since he did masters in speech comm and literature. wooo. I think he's very different. The way he thinks and speaks his mind straight. The class got really quiet. There's something uncomfortable in me in his class. Hope everything goes alright for these couple of weeks.
Going home was crazy. The worst bus ride EVER. I was sardined. If i didn't have bones, it'd be mashed potato. Really got on my nerves. Hot, sweaty...ugh!! Really need to find another source of transport for thursday. Can't have this experience every week. Crazy.
Went for prayer meeting in church for the mission trip tonight. Had to recall words in BM. haha. Interesting...i guess after a tiring day and unhappy journey home, it was good to spend time with God. Better than being at home and sulking about tomorrow. So there's something to really put my mind to it. Reading the Word in BM. I don't think i'll be abe to finish it all but i'll highlight some key versus that'll be useful for the trip. Something new...hehe...
Thank God for "what a day it was". Managed to hang in there. There's more to come. *breathe*...i need the strength...

YAYS!!!! Finished finally!!!
Just got home. From theory exam. In SMK Seksyen 4.
Here's how the morning was like on the way :
Listen to teacher give last minute tips and refresh. Wondering what time we'll get there since it was jammed bad. Teacher remains calm but her expressions seeing the jam wasn't very convincing she was okay. Husband's GPS makes noises. ((We seem to be very far from dunno where)). So, i called dad. He explained the way roughly and suddenly i remembered kota damansara was further down from the Curve..gah!! Long way we've gone to 'i have no idea where'...
By the time we actually reached the school, it was 5 or 10mins past 9am...paper starts at 9am...oh well..the time given is pretty long.
Everyone was already writing. The invigilator showed me to my desk then i told her my IC was in the bag so i had to walk all the way to the front and back again...haih...
So i muttered a quick nervous prayer and turned the cover page. As i turned, "God help me God help me"...hehe...i started and got stuck at one question ((which i realized was super easy later on but i didn't think straight since my heart was beating so fast))...So anyway i did it all, checked...and of course i had a few careless mistakes...thank God i spotted them. Was so panicked when i started i didn't realize i skipped a question.
After checking too many times, i got more nervous. I had my paper done in about 30mins. Checked soo much. Then my friend gave a hint that she's done too so we made our way out.
Waiting for my dad, we chatted about ourselves to get to know one another better. Small world. She's in the same class in her school with someone i know. It's good to make new friends. Especially those who don't mind too. Glad she was there. So we talked about our schools and of course a lil' bit of what college was like. Since she's in science stream, i gave her a thumbs up. Look up to people who do sciences. Wonder how they deal with it..hehe

Lazy lazy me..
Is laziness a sin?? it actually is right? haha...sigh my theory exam is tomorrow and i haven't studies much. I think it's because i've done tons of papers i'm scared to look through them man....sooo many papers. OH the amount of trees ((sorry manda)) haha.
Anyway, i hope i do well. Actually i hope i get a distinction. Usually, i miss it by a handful of marks. sighs...so easy to gain, to easy to loose. Like accounts. You know it, or you don't..*cross fingers*. I hope the paper wouldn't be so tough..some papers are soo easy it makes such a difference. Will do my best! =)
It's college 3rd semester week too. I'm feeling the feeling all over again. It's like i'm not so used to college. And with the long sem and many subjects now...kinda scared..I have to study 5 subjects for finals now. There are things i'm worrying about...but worrying isn't the way to deal with anything. Should just keep going and hope things will turn out some how. yups. =)
September will be a busy month...clearing up stuff at home and all.
O God, please give me a sense of determination for the things i have to do. Like studying hard for piano. Give me a drive. I know i gotta do it first..i just hope i can push myself..smiles
Terrible hot day today....no rain...ugh.
Went to grandma's place to help out and makan. Uncle was having some church friends over to celebrate his birthday. I helped....peel eggs!!!! haha...had lotsa attempts on that during the feeding programme so it was fun...=)...so as usual...makan makan all the time la...ate cake and tong sui some more..mmmm
Alright alright....go go study..

Shopping spree with mummeeee!!!
It's been soo long since i went shopping...seriously shopping. Usually i can only do that with a handful of friends or Best, my mum. So today we spent, half a day out? well it wasn't a rush one so it took awhile. Plus, mum gotta take rests in between because of her back. sighs i just wish it would go away...seeing how she has to walk slow and bend down sometimes makes me feel sad. But i'm glad, she had fun with me =).
During lunch, i popped a question on how she met my dad and all. haha she talked abit about before him and what dad likes. So funny. My mums so funny la. I talked about what 'lousy' guys are and what i admire about some qualities they have. haha.
So, for the first time we went shopping and i didn't buy any clothes. surprising if i say so myself. haha. Instead, i bought new shades and a new BAG!!!! it wasn't cheap to me but it was 70% off so mum said it was okay. oooo. She said it was for helping her with things in the house and MORE things ahead.haha.
I had to carry all the heavy stuff since mum couldn't. And i didn't mind of course...helps build abit of muscle and be stronger i guess. I am so happy today. Yea i got new stuff but the best is that its with my mum. It's not often i get this.. hehe

20th of August 2009
Jared turns 14 today!!!! And my kowfu too!!! and po po is returning from the US today too!!! My last piano class before my theory exam is today!!! mission trip briefing today!!! (but i may not go since i have class). Breakfast with Lydia today too!!!
Lots of lil' events today. Just got back not too long ago from breakfast/branch. We had dim sum nearby and it was goood. Had a long chat the whole time till the food got cold but i had a great time =). Talking about classes and psychology, long thesis and reports, moaning and complaining....but also, God's grace. We talked about how God has put things together somewhow. How knowing God is so important than our own lives. How we should always depend on God...TILL THE LAST MINUTE. goodness i've been getting that a lot recently.
Yesterday, i did my devo on wisdom. Lotsa scriptures from Proverbs obviously and i read something i finally understood. The word 'she' and 'her' in Proverbs al were the word 'wisdom'. Okay so i'm quite ketinggalan zaman for not knowing it earlier...but u never actually bothered much. But since i did, every verse that had those words in it, i replaced it with 'wisdom'. It made it a whole lotta difference there. haha.
Soo, getting back to my time with Lydia. She's like an older sister to me. I have a few older girl friends too but...she's different..haha of course she's different. But..yea...i think she's the only one that talks very freely with me about herself and brings God into the picture more. It's not like a preachy kinda manner but very comforting and ensuring. The way she explains things to me, so openly...makes me feel i could get used to her easily. Like the time in the bus, i found someone older who is similar as i am which i never thought that she was. Things i admit, she's been there. And she keeps telling me she's not even at a point where she's all confirmed and sure but she's learning and persuing. Which gives me a comforting feeling that i have someone i can really realte to. All thanks to God.
"If i hadn't decided to go for camporama, if i didn't have mid-terms and go to camp later during the day, if we didn't end up on the same bus home, if she didn't invite me to sit with her, if she didn't start a conversation with me, if she wasn't the one who prayed for me during the night rally of all people, if i didn't open up to her...................."

"There would be no breakfast today, i wouldn't realize there's someone i can relate to, i wouldn't have gotten the reason to say Hi to her whenever i see her at church, i wouldn't have so much...."
How one incident to another in God's plan, can become great moments. It's amazing =)
When i got home at 12pm, seconds later my brother came back...said he wasn't feeling well so he came home from shcool. sighs. On his birthday. Grandma made those red eggs as usual. I hope he gets better. Not a good time to be getting ill with viruses all around.
Anyways, gotta go study. Words i don't even know how to pronounce. haha. oh well..
God, thank you for a great great thursday. Bless my tomorrows too!!! =)

Bake bake bake!!! yummy, sinful DESSERTS
Baking at Jamie's place was awesome!!! after getting the ingredients, we had a light lunch and started on the Apple crumble. I chopped up the apples. Then, Jamie took over so i got to watch how the crumbs were made...it was...not so neat to watch...the mixture of flour and butter had to be mixed using hands...press press butter...and worst was, Priscilla had long nails...eeeuuuww??
Eeeky face!! *mesh mesh*
yup! hahaha...so she mixed and mixed...till it became...almost dough-like. well, it looked...ODD so she took it to Jamie to see if its okay and it was NOT. Jamie GASPED!!! hahaha...it was supposed to be CRUMBLE and not...a BLOB...ahaha...sooo funnyy!!! so they had to break it up and save as much..Then, we did another batch that was CRUMBLED because it wasn't enough. ooohh the smell of boiled apple with cinnamon smelled sooo gooood!!!!!!!!So, thats all, it was quite easy to make that. Placed in the oven to bake while we work on the SECOND DESSERT!!! haha.
After preparing the Lemon Slice for awhile, we had the apple crumble with ice cream!!! ooooohhh it was awesomeeee....the crumble was really crispy...sooo good...*mouth watering*...we even added chocolate sauce on top so it made it....awesome-er..haha
As soon as we were done pampering ourselves, we decided to go to 1u to watch a movie..TALENTIME in particular. I wasn't very keen since i don't actually watch malaysian movies...hahaha Jamie made me guily...haha...
We packed nachos and this really cool dip for it to smuggle into the cinema(its special....not telling what it is) haha
But here it is...SPECIAL right??haha
This is the Real thing, not some fake substance used to make it Look real..haha
When we went back to Jamie's, we had our Lemon Slice and her special ice blended 'Penang Coffee' for tea. haha. Syok wei..really great time. We were all sooo full of CREAM, SUGAR, BUTTER and MORE SHUGAH!!!! took some pictures here and there. Things to remember. hehe. =)
I'm glad for today. If the retreat went on, we would be getting sunburnt whole day. I guess this lil' activity we had is a good starter. Thank God for it. =)
And oh! POu-POu was sooo cute and fat!!! fluffy and round body...hahaha..
