I find the song and lyrics by Coldplay’s latest single "Lost?" very meaningful and nice~
here are the lyrics:

artist : COLDPLAY
song title : LOST

Just because I’m losing

Doesn’t mean I’m lost

Doesn’t mean I’ll stop

Doesn’t mean I will cross

Just because I’m hurting

Doesn’t mean I’m hurt

Doesn’t mean I didn’t get what I deserve

No better and no worse

I just got lost

Every river that I’ve tried to cross

And every door I ever tried was locked

Ooh-Oh, And I’m just waiting till the shine wears off…

You might be a big fish

In a little pond

Doesn’t mean you’ve won

‘Cause along may come

A bigger one

And you’ll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Ooh-Oh, And I’m just waiting till the firing starts

Ooh-Oh, And I’m just waiting till the shine wears off

Ooh-Oh, And I’m just waiting till the shine wears off

Ooh-Oh, And I’m just waiting till the shine wears off…

这几天真是有够力忙的．．．为了赶 Result 还忙到 skip lunch．．．直接午餐跟晚餐一起吃．　如果 Breakfast + lunch = Brunch; 酱 Lunch + Dinner 叫？"Lunner? Luncher?"
还有这几次做 lab 不懂给＂两百三十度＂的铁汤到手多少次～最少有十次咯！痛到～～～！！哎，又不可以戴手套喔！麻烦死！！
＂两百三十度＂咯！！dun play play~　要是手真的握下去．．．我看那只手可以拿去丢的了！可能还有＂肉香味＂发出来～　晚饭可以加料～

前几天,大学的考试成绩出了…结果是我人生中第一次拿到 dean list !! 哈哈…
刚开始真的很高兴,
不过后来不断听到其他人都是 1st Class 3.80+- 3.90+-
发现我的好像没什么大不了………小 case
不过算好啦…每天打 game 还可以拿 dean 对我来讲已经很满足了.
FINALLY~!!

5月29日认识了一个女生，也是来自柔佛的 Pontian,
第一个印像很好．非常顺眼，是个开朗活泼的女生．
因为一起在同一间 lab 做 testing 的关系所以就认识了．．．
因为是她主动跑前来看我做 MFI polymer test
刚开始我只是对站在一旁观看的她微笑，然后继续认真做我的 testing．
我想我就是这种人，对来历不明的人不会想讲什么．
然后，她就开始问起我怎样做 MFI polymer test 还有一些其他的 equipment．
解释了老半天后，很自然的，就聊起很多很多其他的事来．
没有想到一聊就可以聊到放工．．．还没有完咯！！过后还有问要不要一起吃饭．
结果就到一间店吃经济饭．．．又开始聊．．．
其实，很多事情，巧合到有一点恐怖，首先是，原来她也是骑脚车来，然后她的脚车就停在我脚车的旁边．．．
然后我就问她住哪里．．．原来她就住我家后面．．． 吓到！！O.o
哇！！！有没有噢！！！！！
我也不知道为什么我没有注意过有这个人的存在．．．
一边吃饭一边聊天时，更让我惊喜的是：　发现到我跟她有很多想法都一样！！
一直是都你讲一句，我点头；我讲一句，你点头．　然后一直讲＂是咯！！是咯！！＂
从学习态度，男女的爱情观，lecturer 的性格，槟城人，柔佛的男生，etc. etc. etc.　全部都是＂是咯！！是咯！！你也酱觉得哦？＂
夸张的是，连眼镜筐都一模一样，handphone也一摸一样！！
然后我就问她为什么买这款的 handphone? 她回答：＂因为这个最实用，价钱合理＂
也正是我的理由．．．　 O.o
最后她真的有讲：＂哇，我们真的很多共同点叻！！！＂　我的反应是手顶住头，头斜一边，眼睛看上面，嘴巴开大大，慢慢点头几次～

没想到她是那么健谈的人（讲难听一点是够力 ＂sampat＂）　哈哈，她自己也有承认．　＾＾
很好笑的是，她竟然问我要不要做她的乾弟弟．．．傻掉！！！
还认识不到一天咯！！！　一听到我就讲她：＂哇！我们才刚认识叻！！你不怕我是坏人咩？＂
她很有信心地讲：＂不会啦！＂
发现她真的有够天真？？如果我真的是坏人．．．她这次真的完蛋了咯！！！酱容易接近她～

哦～还有之前，刚开始交谈是用英文的．．．然后刚吃饭的时候，我有杀一句：＂Do you know i can speak Chinese too?＂　才开始用华语交谈．．．
＂你不会早讲啊？！＂
＂你又没有问！！＂
….
………
……………

冷～～～    (-_-) lll         

我．．．．．．我．．．．真的．．．．有酱像＂香蕉人＂咩？！！！　（她点头）＜－－－－
至少我现在还会用华语写 blog OK~!!!    &%$#@!
（其实在槟城，对华人我第一句话是用英文，因为这里很多＂香蕉人＂，如果你讲华语，大多数的反应是：＂huh?＂然后摇头）　Zzz….

讨厌的是，她一直叫我：＂你这个小孩子．．．．．．blah blah blah＂
然后我就喜欢回她：＂ＯＫ咯　auntie．．．＂
气到～～～她差一点爆炸～　＂叫我姐姐啦！！！！！＂　（嘻嘻～爽！！）＾＾

其实发现她这个人非常非常非常友善，没有心机，可以谈心事，思想成熟，乐于助人，希望带给别人快乐，人见人爱，车见车载～
真的没想到原来还有那么好的女生，不错不错！！！Very nice~    *thumbs up*

今天决定写一些positive的事情，因为以往写的都是一些不开心的。
ehem….
过了一段很艰辛的日子… 跌到了，又爬起来了。
最近生活里，我找到了新的意义！哈哈！
希望我可以顺顺利利的达到目标。
为我门身边重要的朋友，家人，还有我们深爱的人而加油吧！

写这些有点奇怪，好像一点都不象我。。。

This blog is dedicated to all USM 2nd year Material Engineering students 2007.
Long before your time (In case this site is viewed 100 years from now). in the northern province of Malaysia, a group of material engineers in USM were given 9 incredible assignments, 3 spectacular presentations and 4 outrageous tests. (and that’s the very least, coz if u take more courses, there’s more 2 come!) speaking of which, my course-mate K took Japanese level 3 (optional), worked his @$$ off to write a drama script only for the lecturer 2 reject and was asked 2 change a topic (-_-)lll

Let’s start off with the lecturers.
Lecturers = bosses who employed us anyway, and that means if they’d ask u 2 stick a pole up your @$$ so that they can laugh their heads off, you’ll have to do it anyway or risk losing ur job. You can always be a hero and start yelling and screaming in front of them but be warned that you’ll eat dust after that. Personally, I think its not worthwhile. Oh and remember what they say about this world? yeah, it isn’t fair. i guess all of you would’ve known since we grow up in Malaysia. here’s one good example, my lecturer have trouble finding time 2 do his assignment and guess what. he threw those crap to us. do a survey + report about engineers and hand it up to him by 5 days and another report about engineering ethics in another 2 days time. If those reports (or his assignments) were of good quality, do you really think he’ll give us credit or buy us candies? the answer? Dr.XXX: " **** off!" Ever thought why when u are free. you have all the time in the world till you can sleep 18 hours a day? After peace will be war,  a string of assignment bombs pouring down from the skies and when you know it, you have to count the seconds you spent in toilet. Some say the lecturers communicated and decided to land those evil bombs at the same time. you doubt it? watch ‘em grin as they leave the lecture hall. =P

And what about our colleagues or coursemates? don’t you hate it when some of them are so $^&*#@ that they threw all the responsibilities to you and hope that you’ll crash n burn while they survive? I was once grouped with Y, asked Y to set a time n place to discuss about the assignment, and what did he tell me?

Y     : errr… I think you r capable and intelligent. Can you help me finish the group   
       assignment?

Me : ……….

Y     : I need to go to the library and study for the up-coming test.

There are few things to note. First, they think that their @$$’ are so darn expensive that their own tests are much more important than anything or anyone else. yeah, selfish. So what if we flung? it simply means… "YOU SUCK!" to them. Second, see how those bastards compliment you and make you fly before they tuck tail and run? Man, **** that! You think i give a damn about those words? And heres a little advice to those who are too retarded: "its the involvement and commitment that counts!!!"
Some people are so stressed up or pissed off they’ll go around shouting at other members for being incompetent. After that, when the morale between members are low, they’ll start pointing fingers and blame it on other people for the failure even if its his/her own mistakes before it even started.

Well, that’s the world we live in. Not satisfied? like a friend of mine, J said, you can always commit suicide and live in the netherworld. In case you find this blog offensive, I’m talking about you. =P

5.00AM in the morning… I woke up and heard some noises. I
wasn’t surprised, because I knew it was my room-mates Desmond from Sibu,
Sawarak and Jason from Tawau, Sabah packing up
their belongings. They were going home after a long, tough semester in USM
Engineering Campus. When they first saw
me in the morning… they smiled…. but we didn’t utter a single word to one
another. Maybe three of us know that we are going to part after being room-mates
after a year’s stay in USM. Can’t bear to part perhaps? Minutes later Jason
came over to my corner and see what I was doing…. i was playing games.. haha,
as usual… he loves to come over to my corner… especially to watch me play
games since i was so lazy most of the time, i play more than i study, maybe it
became a habit for him to come over to my side. Desmond? Well… he was busy
packing but he did ask me for scissors, plastic bags, knifes. He even ran out
of toothpaste :p

Oh… since there are 4 people staying in one room, what about
the other room-mate, Wee Kian? heck, he was sleeping like a pig…. Zzzz…..
he wouldn’t care anyway, since most of our time in USM, he doesn’t really hang
around with the rest of us often. (Psst! Yo! Wee Kian… don’t you wanna say
something before they leave???) "ZZZZZzzzzzzzz…….. " says Wee Kian :P 

6.00AM
They finally finished packing and looked all set as they
headed for the hostel cafe downstairs. I helped them with their luggage.
Desmond’s luggage was bigger than Jason’s but hell, Jason’s luggage was much
heavier than Desmonds. Can’t judge the weight of the luggage by its size??..
LOL. Well, we waited together at the cafe for the taxi to arrive. Jason had a
sore throat, he didn’t really wanna speak much. Desmond and I joked a bit. Crap,
Desmond was so eager to go back to Sibu so that he can win his dream girl’s
heart. That lucky girl’s name is Jane. Hmm, all the best Desmond. Besides, I
hired him as my love-affairs consultant since he is so experinced in it. Not
long after that the taxi finally came and its time to say good-bye. shaked
their hands and told them to take care and all the best for the future. All of
us are wondering who will be our room-mates for next semester. Hopefully
someone nice and friendly.

That’s its then, Desmond just told me "See you next
sem!" and Jason said "take care!". Desmond was so excited that
he even told the taxi driver he is delighted to see him because it means that
he can go home. Then, there they go. The Taxi accelerate off and out of my
sight. Bye-bye Desmond! Sayonara Jason!(Jason took Japanese this semester and
he’s quite talented ) Nice knowing you two!

After that, I walked back to my room on the 2nd floor. hmm,
mixed emotions… thoughts of the laughters, sadness, and joy we shared
together rushed to my mind. We had lunch and dinner together…studied
together, played Dota, Worms 3D , table-tennis, jogging, together, cursed the
lecturers together, scolded the Malays at at their back together, watched
Champions League at 3.15AM together even though there’s lecture the next
morning, Watched EPL countless times together etc. It’s sad that we might no
longer be room-mates in future, but it also means that the semester is over and
its holiday!! hmm, thinking back… Desmond told me something earlier that
morning. He said "Aiya, 3rd Year we rent a house n move out together lah. then we’ll become house-mates
loh!" Hehe, good idea, i’d love to do that too. since we enjoyed each
other’s company. But i don’t think i’ll move out since I don’t have transport. its
quite troublesome. I’ll keep my options open anyway so I won’t rule that out.

I’m a bit afraid that I might not get along as well as with
Desmond and Jason with my future room-mates but then again, its too early to
tell. I’ll leave that to the future. Morning has broken, time to tidy up my
place and start packing too! Hehe, but before that, let me just lie down on my
bed for awhile… Hmm, its been quite hell of a ride in USM. invaluable
experience indeed. this is my 1st blog, 1st blood!(as in Dota) wahaha…….
hope the readers find this interesting. this particular blog is dedicated to
my room-mates!!! All the best to them! (",)
