Cut off from the world

It was just a few hours ago when I was happily having a video conversation with Jieyang and Muffin. Now, MSN refuses to sign me in, my phone's not working and even Facebook is pms-ing!! I'm on the road to becoming anti-social of the year.

Results release

Yesterday, the breakdown of the results were released. Talked to Voon Yuan about it.. so far, he's the only person I know who made it to the 4 year MEng course. Looks like next year is gonna be my final year in Imperial. Aargh.. I just wanna get things over and done with. I so hate my course. I would change it if I could but after investing 2 years in it... what choice do I have..

The release of results plus the Aussie people leaving got me thinking of uni life again.. exam stress... sleeping in classes.. house hunting last year.. that was horrible!! Realised I didn't even take a photo of my room at Chamberlain before moving out.. I did, however come across a photo of my future housemates.


Haha.. Wen-Jei would probably ask me to remove this post because of the photo.. but I doubt she knows about my blog.. I think I'll tell her though.. just to see her reaction.. I'm so evil. I look forward to staying with you guys in out "dream house" next year. =)

Kevin's (second) last day

Two days before Kevin left.. ie two days ago, Kevin, Shih Yang, Bernie and I went out for breakfast at Yeow Kee in 101 Premiere. The roti kahwin there is supposed to be really good coz they use bread from aloha, pandan kaya and charcoal. It was so-so I guess..

I prefer the food from our first breakfast at Foody Goody after sending Joon Hui off. We had laksa, yew char kueh, yew char kueh with butter and kaya, ham ching peng and oh kueh.. woosh.. the calories!!!

Anyway, ngam ngam that morning, three of us wore traffic light colours unintentionally and we didn't even realise it till Bernie mentioned it.

As always, the time spent together with old friends is priceless.

Lionel's last day

Friends have come and gone from Kuching in the recent weeks.. Some without even my knowing. I'm really glad I managed to spend time with old friends. It's funny how it's so easy to speak to some people I haven't met since Form 5. Example: Lionel Lam aka How I Met Your Mother freak. Hehe... This is what we did the day before he left..

Bernie, Lionel and Gilbert went swimming.

They played Marco Polo.

Bernie calling out "Marco" to Lionel.

Lionel's turn to be Marco.

Lionel still as Marco while Bernie and Gilbert watch on.

Gilbert in the small pool and Bernie in the bushes. If you're reading this Lionel, now you know why you couldn't catch them.

Us girls just enjoyed dipping our feet and watching the fun going on.

At least until this guy came over to pinch our toes!

Our fav class genius and paramount of beauty!

Just look at the beautiful blue water..

Oh no, Lionel's got a cramp!

The medic is here to help! =)

Lionel.. I enjoyed climbing Santubong with you and being around all your craziness. Have fun in Perth and all the best in your hunt for your significant other!

Joon Hui's 21st

Joon Hui's birthday was exactly a week ago but I'm only getting round to posting the photos now.. I haven't seen Joon Hui since Form 5 ended.. practically dinosaur AGES ago..

This was kinda at the end of the meal already..

A little dark.. I blame the camera.

Haven't seen Thai Hui since... Concord??

Thai Hui and Kim have not changed since Lodge =)

Neither have these two..

Clearer picture of Yichieh and Lionel..

Another lovely picture of Shih Yang =P

Kev, Berps and Kim

Lionel's obsession with the pineapple incident from How I Met Your Mother.

Anti-social betul.. reading during dinner.

Group photo! =)

Awww... the cat fell asleep on Bernie's foot.. after he tripped over it earlier on..

AWWWWWW.....

Hope you enjoyed your birthday, Joon.. It was really fun... good company, good food and great occasion to celebrate =)

Mount Santubong and Damai

Day 1: Wake up at 6.30am. Do some last minute packing. Wait for Lionel to arrive at 7.30am.

Our gracious driver... Dopey..

Feng, Yichieh, Lionel, Calvin, Bernie and Shih Yang.

Shih Yang and Bernie at the mini waterfall.

Glorious food!

The most important drink EVER!!

Kevin didn't climb; Shaun turned back; The rest of us parted ways at the fork between Santubong peak and Bukit Putri. Shih Yang, Bernie and Lionel took the 45 minutes trail to Bukit Putri while Feng, Lionel, Calvin and I took the 3 hour trek to Santubong peak!

Success!!

View from the peak.

Evil monkey which stalked us up AND down!!

See what we had to go through!!

2 cans per person upon reaching the base.. *dies*

Bashful

Happy

Sleepy

Day 2: Bodyache, eat, sleep, play on the beach. Unfortunately, Yichieh left and Gabriel took her place. More drinking at night.

Like, yo!

Same people, same pose.

You can't tell but Shih Yang and Bernie are under Lionel and Shaun.

Sneezy

Grumpy

Monalisa

Doc

Day 3: Back to Kuching and that's the end of that. Hope I got the names of all the 7 dwarfs correct.. =P

I passed! I passed! I passed!

Omg.. I can't believe I passed.. Just got back from Damai yesterday (I'll get back to this later) and I'm dead tired. Just checked my email earlier on and there's this one email from Martin Holloway titled "Results" and another one with "Results link". I was sooo freakin' scared!! I was expecting to resit at least one paper.. I was expecting to fail!!

Dear Melissa Ying

Congratulations, you have passed the year and now progress to the next year of the degree course.

Your actual marks should be available in a week or two from Student Self-service.
Registry will contact you when the results are ready.

That's what the email said... Now that the high is over.. I'm gonna face reality and remember that I hate every single part of my course.. and that I probably passed by the tips of my fingers. =(
