``: November 2008

yesterday was my presentation day. for the stupid malaysia study. all of my classmates alwiz complain about the subject. i do think it is quite useless to my course actually. but i am still glad i can revise back what i learned 3 or 4 years ago. apparently, my knowledge on my country is still not that good.haha.. anyway, the presentation sucks. ppl talking infront, ppl talking at the back too. worst is, our lecturer is snoozing.. stupid james.. but still i pity him. he has to listen to the same topic every sem, which means 3 months. so if he give us good marks, i am willing to forgive him for snoozing during our presentation. XD..

we have malaysia study class combined. means Graphic designs and interior design students have the class together. amazingly, friends from my class wear all black that day. we din planned for it actually.so with our T-square that we bring, we are like a gang of 黑社会 going out pek yao~ haha.. we are not just wearing black t shirt or wat. we are black from head to toe. but we are more like attending funeral also. haha..

and these are my teammates for the presentation :

Marco. from taiping.haha

xue fen. notice her big eye bag. we alwiz claim that she loves red. haha

pei rong. she's younger than me!! and smarter too. :）

and me~ haha

anyway.. we still have fun during the presentation. we were crapping at the back when others are presenting. sorry la~~ the topic really boring ma.. and my friend offer so much fun and laughter. cant help to join them. haha..

the next day, which is today, we went to klcc for a exhibition. and we watched 007. the movie is okay though. dunno which fella told me it is 3 hour long. mana tau it is shorter than the previous one. haha.. btw.. we got some thing worth for celebration today. we have a couple in our class. they were together for more than half year already. and yet, they nvr hold hands or hug each other. haha.. they are alwiz shy and nvr talk bout something sweet. all their conversation is about homework and assignments. haha... we've been trying to make them move on. we teased, encouraged, forced, almost everything. but the male one is just too shy to make the move. so well, we just have to wait for them to开窍。haha.. anyway, we finally forced them to hold hands in the bookstore today. they are still very reluctant to hold each other at first. but one of my friend threatened them..hahaha... this remind me of my first time too. haha.. i just kinda forgetting that kind of feeling when i've been together with someone for a long time. not that i don like nick, just that i cant find the 心乱乱跳de feeling like i used to be anymore. not that often at least. haha.. anyway. guess this is normal for everyone.we just get used to each other.

and i get a chance to snap their pic

the couple is the red and the stripe one. my friend accidentally blocked them..haha

and my hp battery died when i take the shot. luckily i managed to save it. haha......XD

so so so happy for them..
