Even more updates

Farouk: I can't go la. I have to pray. I'm Muslim.

Zi Hao: So what? I'm limousine!


After 9 days, I'm really starting to adapt here in the jungle college.



Classes here start at 8.15 and last until 4.10. There is a 15 minutes break after every 3 lessons and a 5 minutes allowance between lessons to allow us time to travel from one classroom to another. Breakfast starts at 7.30 and lunch is at 1.00. Food is not bad though the seniors complain of the fish. One of the seniors that I've met, Q (this is not an anonymity, it's just her nickname), who is running for the post of Food Exco in the Students' Council, is putting "No fish!" in her manifesto. Haha! Speaking of which, tomorrow will be the Manifesto Night and I will get to vote! =D Though I can only vote for those running in my own batch.

There is a Christian Fellowship here so that cheers a lot of things up. We meet twice a week - once for prayer meeting and another for care group. I haven't attended the Care Group yet because it's on Thursday but the prayer meeting is still awesome. There aren't a lot of Christians in my batch - only 3 of us last I checked. The Bank Negara scholars are still missing. They were supposed to appear yesterday but now, news are that they will only come next week. Poor kids. Hehe.

Just awhile ago, we had a house meeting. There are 4 houses here in college - Topaz, Garnet, Diamond and Sapphire. I'm in Topaz. It's sort of like a more active version of Sports House. They've plenty of activities and inter-house competitions organised. Right at this moment, there is a basketball showdown between Topaz and Garnet for champion. I'm supposed to be there cheering but oh wells. Haha! Did I mention Topaz wins a lot of things? =P=P We call ourselves the House of Rock. Next up, we have Bangsawan Night which is sort of like a drama. It's a huge thing in college and Topaz has been the winner for the past 2 years. The committee is hoping for us to be the defending champion and menempa sejarah as the only house to win the Bangsawan thrice. I'll be helping out with the backdrop and props along with the rest of my batch in Topaz. That will be held almost every night starting tomorrow because the Bangsawan Night is just about 20 days away - before CNY.

As for the subjects classes, Math is still fine. We're doing quadratics and functions. Pretty much Form 4 topics but I now know how some formula came about. Pretty cool. Hehe! Literature is quite fun too. We're starting with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It's a comedy where a girl falls for a girl disguised as a boy and then proposes to her identical twin brother, thinking it was the girl disguised as a boy (but we all know it's impossible because identical twins are always of the same sex) and stuff like that. Our teacher gave us these pieces of quotes and as she narrated, we filled in when it's a dialogue. Then she asked for the papers back and said "OK! We'll go again!" and we were like, "HUH?!" Had to guess out the words in the end. Lol.

We had to do role play in English today. I was supposed to make Zi Hao go on a date with my niece and he was supposed to not be able to stand my niece.

Him: *sings* Lonely! I'm Mr Lonely!

Me: Eh! You're still single ah!

Him: Ya! Didn't you see me singing "Lonely"?

Me: I have the PERFECT person to introduce to you!

Him: Who?

Me: My niece!

Him: Eeeee! I know her! She's been with me since Primary 1! She has bad body odour!

Me: She bathes more now!

Him: How often do you smell her?!

Me: .... I visit her once a month.

But that's not the best one. Here is the better one. Krizun is supposed to call in sick (lying) and Anis, the boss is supposed to suspect him lying.

Krizun: *coughs* *coughs*

Anis: Krizun! Is that you again!

Krizun: I'm sick!

Anis: I don't believe you! You've been sick for the past 30 days!

Krizun: I am! Can't you hear me coughing! *coughs*

Anis: You get back to work now!

Krizun: I can't! I'm in the ambulance! I have brain tumour!

Anis: If you are sick, you can give me medical certificate!

Krizun: They don't give MC for BRAIN TUMOUR! Can't you hear me coughing!

Anis: You have brain tumour and you're coughing?

Krizun: Yes. The brain affects my lungs. It's BAD.

Anis: The last time you called in sick, you came to the office DRUNK!

Krizun: See that's a sickness too! That's why they have these AA meetings. I'm on the ambulance and they're taking me to the AA meeting so that they can heal me.

Anis: So you're on the ambulance to check for brain tumour and to attend AA meeting?

Krizun: Yes! That's how bad it is! I have to go to both!

Anis: You're FIRED.

And there's another one which is awesome but I can't remember because they used lame drug lord language. Lol. It ended with a murder. =p

Anyway, it's 7.00 now so I shall have to go for dinner. It's Western today! =D

Before that, Happy Birthday, Mum. =)
