I got a reply mail from AU KDDI regarding the mail which I sent over in protest to them editing out Riida's CM parts out as result of the scandal. They are quite efficient, sending reply mails to those who send mails to their customer enquiry desk.

I hope Riida will be okay....

edit: Apparently the support given by international fans for their idols at the time of need are better than the Japanese fans. I hope all the support shown by international fans will make everything all right.

Tabloids suck. Just when someone is gaining more and more popularity, the tabloid just has to dig up some bad stuff to write about them...

This isn't gonna help when the Japanese public and fans are so unforgiving~

Tabloids! Leave Oh-chan alone!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yay~! I have my Internet!

This is so great because I've been out of touch with the outside world for ages.

Streamyx sucks so I got Celcom wireless broadband instead. Hahahahaha in your face, TMnut! If you don't want my money then fine, I'll let someone have the business instead.

I love my dad for getting me the internet before uni reopens!

I guess that's all, thanks and bye. Will post again soon!~

Post mortem

So.

Like I expected, my results wasn't as good as last semester. But what can I say? It's hard to maintain the grades from last semester, so the only choice was for my results to go downhill, which it did.

I'm still grateful that I got one of the subjects HD though, it means that I am still eligible for a scholarship.

Well, it could be worse, couldn't it? As weird as this sounds, it's a good thing that I did not get 3HDs and 1D. It would be so so sayang that one of the subs is a D grade. Then I'd bang my head on the wall and wonder why I didn't put in more effort on that one, lol.

Well, after I stepped out of the exam hall I knew that there isn't any hope for my EM2 and my programming to get a HD. So the grade was expected.

But how come I got a HD for Engineering Project???? I'm still pondering.

It's got to be the sub that I disliked the most and felt most troublesome for the whole semester. Geez.

But what the heck happened.

What the heck happened with my Electronic Systems?? I thought that was the only subject which has more hope of a HD.

And I thought I knew how to do the final exam too. And I put in the most effort for ES too.

That's why I thought that if I were to get HD, it should be ES, not EP.

But my CGPA is still 4.0, so I am relieved with that, for now. Thank goodness. But I'll have to do my best next semester! I just hope that I have the will to do so....


p/s: I'm going home on Sunday!! Which is tommorow. Home sweet home~~~~I can't wait.

You know, my mum shouldn't have passed me the Rm300 of the money I got from tutoring before I came to Sibu. I specifically asked her to safekeep it so that I wouldn't spend it. If it's in my purse, I'm sure to spend it...

It's only been a little less than two weeks in Sibu and already my purse is almost empty.

And later, I am going to spend the rest of that money on a pencil box which I can't get out of my mind since two days ago.

So, after I buy that pencil box, my purse is gonna be left with less than Rm1. Which means that if no one treats me to meals, I am totally not gonna be able to eat anything at all.....( I'm counting on my aunt and grandma to treat me)

I've always got a weird priority in spending my money. Usually I buy what I want, while putting off buying what I need for later. That's a bad habit that I'd like to scrape off~~

Right now, I'm a bundle of nerves. Results are gonna be out on Friday! I know that it's no use for me to regret that I haven't been putting much effort in my studies this semester as much as the effort I put in to downloading Arashi media, but I wished I'd worked hard. Now my CGPA is gonna drop and there's nothing I can do about it but hope I can make up for that next semester.

I am so nervous about the upcoming result that I feel a sense of calmness when I was asked to rewrap a pile of dusty books by a lecturer here. A strange sense of calmness as I am cutting the transparent wrapping paper to size, snipping off the edges, and taping them the 'proper way' the lecturer told me to. I didn't even bother to ask why does it have to be taped that particular way, and what's wrong with doing it my way instead, like I often do.

Since I spend the whole day in the college and I have nothing to do, I often visit the college library. The library here has quite a selection of fiction to choose from. But then again, I have to say that SwinB's library is so pathetic that any library would have a wider range of fiction than it does. I even got to borrow books like 'The Rape of Nanking', and a few titles from the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, and 'Ring' (same as The Ring movie, but in form of book). And for a few days I've been carrying these books everywhere I go and can't really put in down even when I need to eat. It's nice to be addicted to reading again.

Why does the State library have to be so far away? I don't want to have to drive so many kilometres to go and borrow a book. Petrol is expensive.

Most importantly, why does SwinB library has such a pathetic fiction section????

I can't wait to go back to my Arashi media, I can't wait to get Internet at home asap so I can download Mika Nakashima's new single (stupid stupid TMnut people), I can't wait to get back so Yvonne can feed this deprived Arashi fangirl with the recent Arashi media she downloaded. Thank goodness there is someone who keeps me updated with media while I am Internet-less.

That's all for now. I'll update again when I am bored. Till then, it's been Alice~

You know, my return trip to Kuching has been posponed to this coming Sunday.

That's even later than the day results are out and I initially planned to go back before that day...


It's quite frustrating that I have to stay back later. It's not that I did not enjoy it here. But I planned to go back to Kuching today. I have things to do.

You see, last week my aunt took two days leave to bring me out shopping. We left grandma at second uncle's house. Second aunt got annoyed(?) that we went our to enjoy ourselves that:

She originally volunteered to send my grandma to the hospital to take off her cast. And after we went out shopping two days in a row she told my grandma that she couldn't send her and asked me and my smallest aunt to send instead. When grandma said that I might already leave for Kuching by then, she said that I would still be here.

And today she had the nerve to ask me when I am going back to Kuching! She said "Don't you have your results out on the 18th?" She already basically pushed the responsibility to me and small aunt to send grandma to the hospital. But my small aunt can't take a leave on that day so it's just me.

To second aunt: If you know that I am gonna have my results out on 18th and have to be back in Kuching before then, why did you give grandma the idea that I should still be here when grandma needs to take her cast off (17th)?

She's just being selfish.

I can't believe that I, a granddaughter all the way from Kuching is the one taking my grandma to the hospital instead of a son taking the mother to the hospital. Shouldn't the responsibility be on the son and not a grandchild???? Why don't she ask second uncle to take his leave instead.

But no. The responsibility is on the grandchild instead of the son.

The more I think of it the more geram I am.

I did many things for the past few days

I do think so.

You see, on Wednesday, I went to Bintulu to get my SPM and 1119 cert. Took a round trip bus. It cost me RM13 for the round trip ticket. That's quite cheap, I got a bargain again, since the normal fare is actually RM40. But to pay Rm13 just to go get the bloody cert which serves practically no purpose =.= .....by the way my trip there was 6am in the morning and 2pm is the trip back. So I did not spend the night there...(sorry Bat).

My impression: Bintulu changed but not by a lot. This time I had the pleasure of my aunt accompanying me for the 3 and half hour bus trip. At least it wasn't that boring cause there's a person to talk to. Why the trip was so long you should ask the bus driver.

You know how bad I am in waking up early, on the day of the trip I woke up, bathed, and when I went down all ready, it was already 5.40am!! And we had to send grandma to second uncle's house. I basically floored the accelerater the whole way to uncle's house. Good thing it was morning and there weren't many cars.

We arrived at the bus station 2 minutes before 6am. I went ahead to 'stop the bus' while my aunt took care of the parking coupons. When we were both settled to our seats..

aunt: You see, we almost missed the bus, next time you better wakeup early. Told you to sleep early last night but you decided to play computer games instead.
me: But we arrived 2 minutes before 6am.
aunt: So what? Am I supposed to applaud?

Hehehe~~ I do have to admit, when I saw the clock at 5.40am and we were still at home, I panicked quite a lot. But goodness me, I do have a reputation for being tardy...

The next day, (Thursday) I went to extract my wisdom tooth. This is my first tooth extraction in like, so very long time okay. There wasn't really enough space for the last tooth waaaay at the back of my mouth to grow, so it's been growing a little sideways and the sharp edge is biting into my cheek and causing me pain. So I decided I had enough pain for days. The tooth has to go.

I was so freaked out with the trip to the dentist. Like I said, the first trip to extract tooth since like ages okay. The dentist my aunt recommended was an old man who was probably 60+ yo. He didn't really talk much.

So to cut the story short, I didn't really feel a thing at all during the whole process. Because he made multiple injections all around the tooth. Except that I really wished that I was unconscious because it was a really large tooth and when he was pulling it out I can hear the sickening sound of the large tooth being pulled out of the gums. I can still remember that sound the next day~~

But I have to give the dentist credit for being able to extract such a large tooth so quick. It was out in I think less that 1 minute!

He asked if I felt any pain and I shook my head, and he said it's done already in a cheerful manner. It's like he read my mind or something, he asked me to bring back the tooth (for safekeeping?), and he seemed more keen than me at the idea. Wrapped the tooth in tissue and quickly shoved it in my hand.

So that's two major things that happened to me in two days. Sorry to disappoint although it's only two, lol.

p/s: I do miss my media and want to go back to Kuching soon. And judgement day is coming soon! results are gonna be out next week Friday~~~~~~

Till then, it's been Alice~

Hello from Sibu~

Hi, I'm at my aunt's college now using the internet to update on my blog. Been here since last Friday. Typing this nervously as I am at the reception counter and anyone passing by could easily peek over my shoulder and see what I write.

Why am I here at Sibu is because my grandma broke her arm after falling. Poor her, she's already so old, so have her break an arm is really, really bad news. So my aunt said that since the bus fare is so cheap (RM2, booking online), and my grandma was missing me, why don't I come to Sibu since I'm having a holiday?

So I came. Since it's so cheap (RM4 one way Kch to Sibu since the RM2 tickets were all out) and I feel responsible to come to visit my grandma (since all my other cousins of around my age did not visit) .

Yea, I was too shocked that the bus tickets were so cheap. But the ride wasn't really a very pleasant one (it's 8 hours mind you). If it RM4 one way but the normal expensive rate I wouldn't have subjected my butt to sitting for that long. But I got the front seat so it's a bit better.

I didn't want to come to Sibu. Once I heard my grandma broke her arm the first impulse was to go immediately to visit her. But when I thought longer about it I didn't really like the idea of coming alone to Sibu at all.

In the end, I came since I felt responsible that I should visit my grandma. And because aunt said grandma misses me. That's really bad of me eh? Acting out of responsibility as a granddaughter instead of being concerned. Honestly it was more of the feeling of being responsible instead of concern. Like responsible 70% and concern 30%. I thought that by coming here I could take care of the meals and her needs since my aunt is working. But today grandma decided to stay the whole day at my second uncle's house, like she always did, before I came here.

I don't like my uncle.

So there. If grandma had decided to stay at home and have me cook her meals instead I would prefer it. But I said it's up to her, so she chose uncle's house (more comfy, I think?). I dread going to uncle's house, even the chinese new year visit. Let's just say my uncle and I don't see eye to eye, and he says things that insults my family which I don't like. So I prefer to stay out of his way. You can say that, if second uncle is not there, I wouldn't dread so much coming to Sibu. That's how it is...

But, today, working day we left grandma at uncle's house, and me + aunt came to her college. Aunt knows I dislike second uncle cause I told her so. Maybe that's why she told grandma she's taking me to college since right after work we're going shopping.

I'm grateful for that~

The're a high probability that I will take a trip to Bintulu to collect my cert. I called the office 3 times but the woman in charge of certs is either haven't arrived(8pm), out to toilet break (11sth pm) and out to fetch her kids (12pm). How annoying. =.=

I guess I'll end here, since I wrote this long and I can't seem recall what else I wanna write. Till I get my hands on a computer with Internet line again, see ya~~~~~

Alice is signing out~

Tanjoubi omedetou Yvonne! and I got tagged~

First of all I'd like to dedicate the first part of this post which is the first in ages (since I still don't have internet damnit) to Yvonne since she has entered adulthood. Weeeeee~~!!!

You're getting old together with us 20 yo's already but don't stop acting like a kid since that's how you are best at~~ I wish you a very happy birthday and I hope your dream of going to Japan to watch Arashi's 10th anniversary tour next year will come true!

I wish I could give you the best present you can ever have: Sakurai Sho-chan wrapped up in a big box but that is beyond my capability, sorry. But at least I know what you want right? That makes me a very very very good friend. And this means I won't give you anything this year because I won't give you anything except the best, that is, 'Sakurai Sho-chan wrapped up in a box'!

By the way I am typing up this post at birthday girl's house but she was asleep when I arrived (12.39pm). *sigh*

Ok, with that settled, let's go to the tag~~~

THE RULES
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them a comment, telling them that they've been tagged, and to read your blog.

  1. When I go to sleep, I must take a bath RIGHT before bed, drink milo and have a blanket, or else I can't sleep well.
  2. I cannot stand not using correction fluid if I write using a pen. And yes, that means during government public exams as well, although they said it's not allowed, I still use them. Cause I hate hate 'striking a line over your mistake'.
  3. When I am doing something in a serious mode, if you talk to me I will say 'umm....uhuh...' and after you are finished with what you are saying and I am done with what I am doing, I totally don't know what you just said. Yea I know it's rude.
  4. I get super annoyed with nonsense. The definition of nonsense is according to me.
  5. I am not a morning person.
  6. I am super indecisive if I buy things. But if it's something I really want I will buy even if it's expensive. But I guess you can say I am stingy.
  7. I used to be an internet addict, but now, not having internet proves I can withstand several days without it before I drive over to my friend's house to online. Sad right??? (I hate TMnet people, stupid stupid stupid stupid)
  8. Saving the best for last: I love Nino-chan <3
