*sweeps dust off floor with feet and wipes cobwebs off the low ceiling*
Like, how long has it been since I last blogged? What a record. But on a better note, my internet connection is back up! YAY!
Anyway, I don't think it's worth it to write about what's been happening for the past few weeks (while I was missing in action). The only thing I can probably recall clearly is being in Kuala Lumpur for Chinese New Year for about nine days. We all spent most of the time just hanging out (mind you, during the first two days of CNY, barely any shops were open! We scrambled around town for lunch and dinner, and even McDonald's could afford to let us down with basically nothing left on the menu but chicken burger. Sadness!) or chilling back home. I helped dad paint the walls, and took turns doing house chores every morning. Friends we met while we were touring China invited us to a barbeque, and we had a lot of fun running around after little Adam, who would make the whole lot panic whenever he started running towards the flames or the gutter, eating the night away, and playing funny card games. We also managed to chill out with our cousins, running mindlessly in the gym and playing tennis in the dark of the night (because it was raining in the evening and that spoiled our plans). Of course, all the shopping and unlimited supply of Frappucino and BOLD shots of long blacks from Starbucks had me floating on cloud nine, but it all had to come to an end in any case. :( Nevertheless, if you have too much of KL, eventually you'll get bored of it.
The next day, right after coming back from KL, I started a new chapter in my life (doesn't that sound so... cliche? XD). On Monday, I stepped into Lim Kok Wing's Insitute of Creative Technology, Kuching, wanting to start on my foundation course in communication. However, it was to my horror to discover that I was the only Mass Communication degree persuer in Kuching at the present moment and I was meant to be in Cyberjaya (Selangor campus). In my offer letter, everything was as if I were going to study in Kuching (as fees differ), and on that very day they told me I had to be 'shipped' to Selangor within that week if I wanted to complete the degree in Mass Communication. I totally was not expecting this, and my mum went completely beserk! What was made clear to us was that I could choose to complete my foundation year in Kuching and continue the other three years in Cyberjaya, or I could complete the whole degree in Cyberjaya itself. No one had informed us that if, in any event, there are less than 5 students who register for the Degree in Mass Communication in Kuching, a class cannot be established, therefore all can only be done in Cyberjaya. GREAT.
So what happened then? Mum had a lot to say, scaring a few of the administrators there for making such a BIG mistake. The end result was that I could settle whatever modules I could do here first within the first semester, and as for the second semester onwards, it's Cyberjaya I go. So, for the time being, I am going to weave in and out of semester one, two and four classes, seeing different faces on different days of the week! Hee. :)
Our classes officially begin next week, and I can hardly wait. I have photography, creative studies, design, Malaysian and Islamic studies coming my way. As well, I applied for a part time job at Wings Cafe, because I felt that at some point I had to practice breaking away from the family (sad as it sounds) since I would be leaving and living on my own from June onwards this year.
Anyway, I think I'd better get going. Last day of orientation tomorrow, and we have a get-together tomorrow night, at a steamboat place (I forgot the name) to enjoy good food, and at the same time do a little bit more ice-breaking with our seniors and juniors alike. So far, so good!
