I realized that I never post any anger/hatred-base or any lovey-dovey posts. I don't know how to respond to that.
P.s I realized that I'll be coming home in 21 days.

TOEFL.
Hello everyone! Let's not digress further.
I went over the seas for TOEFL last 2 weeks (12 days ago to the exact).
Let's skip to the actual day which was 11 days ago.
I had the bad (almost worst) case of sore throat (don't get me started on that). I was quite worried that I would encounter problems during the speaking section. Didn't sleep well that night due to excess coughing and all.
The next morning, le uncle and le cousin turned up to the place where I was staying at 0400hrs. I know it was super early but it was as a safety precaution because we have zero idea about the location of the test center. We started the journey from KL to PJ around 0615hrs with the aid of GPS. Since there wasn't any traffic congestion (well it was too early for any) we arrived in PJ 20 minutes later. Le uncle brought us for breakfast at the nearest fast food outlet.
0715hrs- went straight to the test center which was within a walking distance.
Iverson Associates Suites T113& T114, Centrepoint. Located near KBU International College, Bandar Utama. Google it up.
I was 60 minutes earlier than the time stated in the confirmation slip. I won't describe what I did to pass the time. Other candidates started coming before 0845hrs. I think there were 17 of us from INTEC. We filled in some confidentiality form and waited. It was only 0900hrs when we went in the testing site. There were 2 persons in charge of us ( a man and a lady). We placed our belongings in a room and brought our IDs into the next room for registration and also a photo opportunity.
Once after the mini photoshoot we were assigned to our individual workstation with our photo on the computer screen. Everyone started the session with the reading section. I experienced technical problems in which I had headphones malfunction. I had to wait for more than 15 minutes for both of the administrators to solve that glitch. I have to admit that I was worried that I didn't have enough time since the others had the 15-minute head start. Not only that, I had to change my workstation too. Gratefully, the administrator managed to solve the glitch and I was able to proceed with the reading section even though I had a great feeling that it would affect me mentally.
After completing the reading section, I continued with the listening section. I was relieved when I heard sounds coming out from the headphones. A 10-minute break was held at the end of the second section. I went out of the room and headed straight to the next room (where the personal belongings were placed) to grab my cough lozenges and water bottle. Unfortunately, the door was locked. I was devastated and immediately headed to the washroom.
A note to future test takers, do bring along some gum/mints/sweets/cough lozenges in your pockets, but do not eat them during the test since they have the strict no-eating-and-drinking-during-tests policy. I managed to have 2 cups of warm water (which was provided), with high hopes that I would not lose my voice for the speaking section.
By the time I returned to my workstation, I was left with 2 minutes which was indicated on the computer screen. I finally realized that 10 minutes was indeed a short period of time. I can't do much to warm up my voice so I cleared my throat and attempted to cough politely a few times. Turns out that the administrators waited for everyone to complete their 10-minute break before starting on the speaking section. I wasted about 8 minutes worrying. If I knew that fact earlier, I would've gone outside or to the washroom to cough maniacally just for the sake of not losing my voice.
It wasn't my day since I can hardly speak properly and clearly without my voice and the uncontrollable pitch(es). I didn't put any high hopes of scoring the speaking section. Finally, the writing section. Not to complain or brag, I didn't encounter any problems with the last section. Usually, during classes, the wordcount in my essays would not be sufficient to the requirements and sometimes my ideas were irrelevant with the whole topic.
The whole thing ended around 1315hrs and I went back to KL.
Why on Earth would I rant about this? It's because the results are out. Boom.
Here goes. Judge me, no matter what. I can't shut people's mouth. I'm only a kid.
My POV/ excuse(s):
Reading section: I was right. the glitch did affect me badly. Not only that, I never liked reading from the computer screen. It hurts my precious, spectacles-free eyes.
Listening section: I never scored this high before. My usual scores were 26-28. The whole thing depends on me: whether I want to listen or not. I would've score 30.
Speaking section: Speechless. I thought I messed up the whole thing. Thumbs up and special thanks to the highly-trained raters for the score.
Writing section: Not much to say since I exceeded the word limit for both essays.
Overall, I'm grateful that I can bid TOEFL farewell for the eternity since I fulfill the requirement for le sponsor and le future universities.
Kudos to all who got their TOEFL and IELTS results. Our hard work has paid off.
All the best to all future test-takers.

The rain.
It has been raining non-stop (it did stop for a while, then continued raining) for 2 days. Well, everyone knows it's due to the monsoon season.
At this moment, the rain has started to fall again.
Even though this kind of weather is optimum for us to snuggle under our warm, fuzzy blankets, I miss the sun.
1 more week till I leave for college for the Spring semester and 24 more days till my next school break.

Another Road Trip.
Went to the beach with the whole family, including the extended family.
Wasn't really the outing that I've pictured all this while since it rained all day. But the good thing was I need not worry about getting extra vitamin D.
Still, I was happy that I get to spend time with/at the beach. I wish my partners-in-crime were there too.
Currently, I'm experiencing some problems in uploading photos and videos of today's adventure. I guess I'll have to do that some other time.
How awesome it would be if today's weather was like yesterday's.

Seasons greetings to everyone. Let's enjoy our final days/week in 2011 to the fullest!

Circumlocution
Hello everybody. Just a few words (or I might say a few sentences) before I leave.
Well, the funny (not funny at all) thing is I have no idea about what to say.
Let's see. I really enjoy last minute packing, but I already packed the vital documents.
An early welcome home wish to those who are coming back for their year-end holidays since I can do so on the exact day of their advent.
All the best to those who are having their TOEFL this weekend.
Never fear. I'll be back.

Another Sincerest Apology.
To beloved Chicagoans and whom it may concern.
I do not wish to be in any trouble or any misunderstanding.
I'm sorry I didn't informor gloat to you guys about owning a Twitter account soon enough. I prefer not to announce unnecessary stuff to the world.
At first, I thought about giving Twitter a try. I'm in the midst of getting the hang of Twitter.
If both attempts fail, I will bid Twitter farewell.Or maybe not. We'll see how it goes.
I do hope I've straighten things out. I'm sorry.
P.s Thanks for following me.
P.p.s I have a great feeling that my sentence structures are wrong. They don't sound right.

I'm sorry I bailed out on you. I know that feeling. I won't give any excuses. You may ignore, despise or even bail out on me too whenever you want. I'm sorry I'm such a pathetic friend of yours. I'm sorry I let you and everyone else down. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me. I'm Very Sorry.
I'm not giving any excuses,even though they're the valid ones.

Indescribable.
Went to the doctor's to solve the mystery of my case of non-stop coughing.
Earlier this afternoon, visited the bowling alley with the trio (you know who you are) and had fun. Thanks guys, for being there to enjoy the fun.
Managed to strike the bowling pins 3 times in 3 games, which was a new achievement. No need to gloat or anything. I'm just a neophyte.
I just hope that my voice will recover just in time or earlier for TOEFL.

Obtuse-ness
A few more days till the big day. I'm sorry, pardon my manners. Hi.
Nothing much. As usual, spent my day with tomes, TOEFL-ing and chef-ing.
Oh yeah. I've my brand new passport with me. Let's go traveling!
Watched Home Alone 4 on Disney Channel. Not going to spill anything. Better watch it to find out. All I can say is you can't beat the classics.
I'm sorry that my posts are lame. Saving the best for last. Do anticipate. I hope I'm not giving any false hopes. I'm impassive that's why.

Out of Ideas.
Good evening, everyone. I guess the title ruins everything, but hey, it's the truth.
I really need to spend more time outdoors.
Dad brought me to the Immigration office to get myself a new passport. The old one, well, that's another story. Thankfully I brought a good tome along just to keep myself entertained. If only the other people did the same thing (just saying). It was somehow "worth" the 180 minutes of waiting. Enough said.
Another interesting thing(or should I say event?) caught my attention.
I was lingering around some fast food outlet and saw people lining up to order their food. No wonder the line keeps getting longer, even though there were 4 counters.
The ideal way to keep the line short and be a more considerate customer.
Dining-out 101(my version)
1. Try to visualize your choice of menu before entering any food outlet. You're craving for some food, I'm sure you can do that.
2. Ensure you have enough bucks, or should I say appropriate amount of bucks. I realize the importance of those pennies nowadays, it makes the change that you receive in round figures.
3. While queuing up, decide your menu. This saves time.
4. When it's your turn, quickly say (in proper order): dine-in/take away, your menu,special requests and etc. before the cashier finishes their statements. This shows that you're in charge than them and indirectly this saves more time for conversing.
5. Before the cashiers has the time to inform you the total amount, quickly place your cash on the counter.
6. Sometimes the cashier would omit step 5 and prepare your food and you've done step 5. Hence, this is a good time for you to gaze the menu on the counter or even eavesdrop the workers in the kitchen and learn their codes for certain food on the menu. I managed to do so but I won't cough up any info.
7. The food's ready and pay up.
7 simple steps and you won't be the person who's holding the line. Unless you are indecisive.
Don't get me wrong, I usually enjoy repasts with my family at home. We rarely dine-out so, I don't encounter this kind of things that often.
What was I thinking. Of course everyone knows those steps above. I'm pathetic. Again.
I have no idea why I posted this in the first place. Till then, stay awesome.
P.s I've decided to share and contemplate my awesome adventures this year after my TOEFL examinations. Do anticipate, and I hope I won't let you down with lame posts or anything.

Speechless.
Hello, everyone! I hope I didn't cause any trouble for not posting anything yesterday.
Well, (I'm unsure how many times I mentioned this) I'm recovering from the sore throat, but I can't define the level of recovery or anything. I guess it's a good sign. My voice is slightly different and now people can't hear me clearly. I have to repeat anything I say and enunciate the whole phrase. In the end I'm speechless. Great.
I'd like to thank the college management for updating the student web portal. Now I have the whole layout for Spring Semester 2012. Mum already planned to book the tickets for me. I'm excited and looking forward to spend more time here rather than that in college.
I missed a lot of things and happenings by not going online for 1 day. Speechless.
P.s I purposely didn't log in to any of the social networks. It doesn't do me any good.No one cares. The end.

Just Saying.
Hey howdy hey! I hope everyone's doing fine.
I've completed one of the listening sections as preparation for TOEFL. 10 days till the big day.
Some of you might ask (not in the exact words), "What on Earth is TOEFL?".
After that, some of you (especially the curious ones) will immediately Google it up whereas the others (just saying in general) would just let it be.
I'd say TOEFL is somewhat similar to MUET.
Then, some of you may ask "What's MUET?".
I say kindly, " Good question. Google it up, mate!"
What was I thinking? Of course everyone knows what TOEFL and MUET are. Pathetic me.
Truth be told that wasn't the main highlight of this post. Man, I'm really good at digressing. Awesome.
There's a lot of things in my mind. I shouldn't mention that. Everyone experience the same thing. Pfftttt.
Well, I've no idea about this post.
I'll be going back to college in less than a month. Mum already derived a plan about next year's Chinese New Year break for me. All I could do is pray that there will be a break during the new year.
Explored some files just to pass the time and realize how much I grew and experienced since my after SPM life. I'd never trade anything that I've gained even if someone offered the world to me.
It's been a while since the last time I spend quality time with my PS2. Call me old-school or anything. It's up to you.
Downloaded the latest version of WhatsApp. Had fun WhatsApp-ing myself with emoticons.
Yup. I'm pathetic. I do not own any of those super-cool iPhones or Blackberrys. Just the pedestrian Symbian phone. I'm not that spoilt, ungrateful city kid.
Besides, I was the one who turned down my parents' generous offer to own those gadgets as I feel owning those would make me feel like I'm one of those people in the world (apparently and literally).
It's just too common. No offense.
I guess that's enough ranting for one night. I shall return to my lair to hangout with some tomes.
P.s I'm sorry for this pathetic post,my pathetic self (even though I'm grateful with my pathetic-ness, sometimes) and the excessive use of the word "pathetic". Maybe I should change the title of this post to "Pathetic" instead.

FYI.
I don't know how to put this thought (at the moment) into words. Well, I'll just give it a try.
I make friends with Bloggers. (Fact, still, not exactly my point)
I'm friends with Bloggers.(True,but, never mind)
My friends are Bloggers. ( Proven. Look at the sentence above)
Well, I tried. Failed.
I know (and also a fan of) this Bloggerbut we are not friends, YET.
I'll just lay low, remain the Blogger fan-Blogger relationship (I do not want to ruin that) and wait for the perfect time to come.
Who knows that Blogger is YOU? You are super-special since I rarely convey my feelings to the public.
I have no idea why I revealed this to you.
Fin.
P.s I'm a BIG fan of Blogger.com. I enjoy reading blogs and relating to Bloggers' experiences, daily life routines, etc. Keep posting!

Gesundheit.
Guten Tag! I was too occupied with some ultimate surprise for Le Chicagoans until I forgot to welcome the new month (like everyone else). Hence, Greetings, December! Finally you're here to join the fun. For the time being, if possible,I've decided to share and contemplate the adventures I've gone through during the first phase of college throughout this month. Even though I'm looking forward to Spring semester and meet up with le college friends, I ain't bragging or complaining with everything I have with me right now. Just being grateful every moment.
To Le Chicagoans:
Hey guys! Remember I told you guys that I was working on some ultimate surprise for us? The work's still in progress. I did complete the first phase and wanted to show it to you. Sadly, I can't upload it since I keep experiencing problems with the internet connection (I guess my parents overpaid the bill and I have a great feeling that the mobile service provider took advantage of that). Ignore that statement in the parentheses. Never fear! I shall find ways to solve the problem. Just so you know, you are awesome-tastic!
Till then, eat your vegetables, brush your teeth and stay awesome.

Hey everyone! I don't know what to say. Not feeling well lately and the sore throat gets worse by the minute. Somehow that ruins my secret plan to visit the bowling alley again. I'm praying that I'll recover as soon as possible. I'd like to thank November for being so awesome and memorable. Looking forward to December.
Kudos to the kids who managed to endure the battle with one of the biggest challenges before leaving high school. Do enjoy and spend your "After SPM" life wisely.

Revived.
Greetings people of the Blogger world (and also the real world). Sorry for leaving you unattained lately.
I've been hanging out with the new supply of tomes which Mum brought back from her business trip and yesterday we went to a book exhibition in the city. Not only the books revived me but something else did, too. Unfortunately, I'll not mention anything about that (since it's just a mental note for myself).
Basically, you know where to find me.
Happy New Year 1433H! Hoping for a new, prosperous and productive year ahead.
Till then, stay awesome.
P.s Currently having a sore throat, my voice sounds weird. Lesson learned: I should return to my old routine, which is washing my hands as frequently as possible, ( not when necessary i.e before having any repast or after going to the washroom etc.) no matter what.

Road Trip.
Out of the blue,Dad brought me and my other sibling grocery shopping earlier this afternoon. The bizarre yet cool thing was we went to some hypermarket which was at the other side of the city and we had no shopping list! It was fun since I never go shopping with Dad. Usually Mum would be around to do that task and I'll be tagging along. Mum's somewhere over the sea. No need to ask why. It's her business. So, basically that's what happened today. I know it's not much, but I'm thankful that I get to spend time with my Dad, enjoyed the road trip and explore the other side of the city, which I've never been to.
P.s I finally figured out my TOEFL account username. Lesson learned. I need to spring clean my e-mail account. Then again, special thanks to a friend who helped me solve that mystery. I won't mention names but you know who you are.

Kudos Tigers!
Kudos to the Malaysian team for emerging as the champions! With all the suspense throughout the first 90 minutes, extra time and also the penalty shoot-out, it was worth (almost) 240 minutes sitting in front of the screen. Very grateful with the team's success and fellow Malaysians, do keep our feet on the ground and remember that everything happens for a reason. No matter they don't respect and also envy us, let's show the world that we're professionals and we do not stoop down to the other team's pathetic level.

Yello.
Hey howdy hey! I'm sorry for leaving you hanging (I'm unsure where). I occupied myself with John van de Ruit's Spud. I'm still unsure whether to continue with Spud:Learning to Fly because that's van de Ruit's 3rd book. I need Spud: The Madness Continues, which is the sequel to the book that I mentioned in the second sentence. I'm still unsure whether to continue with the third book though.
Last week was definitely memorable and also superb even though I was tanned after kayaking and worked out my biceps and triceps after going bowling, kayaking and bowling-again. Not going to complaint but being very grateful.
Happy schooling and all the best for everything ahead during second semester to those who are schooling tomorrow. Am looking forward to meet you guys (and the others) during your mid-semester break.
The video that I've been anticipating all this while. Finally got the chance to watch it today even though Jason Chen uploaded it 2 days ago. I blame myself for being too occupied with tomes lately.
P.s The piano intro is awesome. Please note that I'm only into the music. I still don't really understand what the song's about.

Danke.
What's up everyone! Very sorry since I didn't update anything lately.
Basically, I went out kayaking with the 3 kids whom I went bowling with the other day. We really had fun in the sun and at the recreation center. There were no other people, except the workers and also school kids. The 4 of us had to wait for an hour since the kids came earlier than us and conquered the kayaks, paddle boats and rubber dinghy (maybe?). We entertained ourselves with the kids' various ways and behaviors in navigating the kayaks and all. After 60 minutes it was our turn to enjoy ourselves and we had the whole place to ourselves. After kayaking we stop by one of our Casas to change our clothes and went to treat ourselves for lunch.
Today, the bowling alley was revisited by us again, including another newcomer. We really enjoy ourselves and had fun. I'm sorry I'm not going to elaborate further on the adventures. Till then stay awesome.
P.s To those kids who spent time with me during the outings, Danke. It really means a lot to me. All the best for the new semester and also everything ahead.

Es-Pee-Em.
It's Day 1 of SPM 2011! Woo...
Cut the story short, went out to the bowling alley with 3 partners-in-crime whilst high school seniors nationwide were having the Malay Language Paper 2 for their exams. We played 3 games and I managed to be the 3rd best.
P.s. To the 3 kids who joined today's fun, thank you for doing so. It means a lot to me.
P.p.s To my college friends, all the best for everything ahead, hang in there; do your best for the last paper tomorrow and I pray that all our hard work pay off.
P.p.p.s All the best to those involved in Es-Pee-Em Day 2 and the following days, hang in there kids!

Title-less.
I have no idea for the title. Sorry.
So, today; the day (almost) everyone anticipate just because of the date: 11/11/11.
It's just numbers, people. Next year, everyone will anticipate 12/12/12.
I'm glad there's no new month after December, since we'll have to start with January all over again. Hence, there's no 13/13/13or 14/14/14 or 15/15/15 ( and the list goes on). Fair enough, I assume it's easier to remember when the numbers are similar.
Enough with the boring introduction. I went blogwalking (as usual) and also found out that it was the last day of school for certain local high school seniors before the BIG day. I will not mention anything about that daunting day which they have been anticipating since a long time and I'm sure that they are waiting for the moment to get their missions over with. All the best, kids!
To be frank, that isn't the highlight of this post. The main point is about the last day of school beforeSPM exams the BIG day. Tomorrow will be the 1st anniversary for kids of my batch as alumni of my high school.
Last year, I did made efforts to treasure memories by (spontaneously) requesting my classmates and buddies to record videos from my webcam and also jot personal messages in my yearbook and/or my (so-called) private journal.
My question is: Does anyone (other than me) remember the day? (My guts say: No.)
If none remembered, that means everyone had moved on with their lives and I'm left behind, stuck with past memories and refuse to let go of those wonderful moments.
I refuse to let go everything abruptly because if I do, umm, I won't want to mention the reasons. I apologize for that matter.
In other words, everyone is evil and I'm the pathetic kid stuck with the past.
I was planning to upload those videos just for the sake of preserving memories, but bother that. No one would appreciate it though. I bet no one remembered anything about those videos and etc.
P.s I'm very sorry because of this so-called emotional post. Can't help it. Going to diverge my mind off these things with another tome for the rest of the day. Till then, stay awesome.

Just Around The Corner.
One of the important public examinations (I shall not mention the 3 daunting initials known to every local student) are just around the corner. I remembered when I experienced and faced that daunting period of time last year. Wishing the very best to those kids who are going to experience what I did last year. Not too much pressure, yeah. Just go with the flow. I pray that all of your hard work will pay off eventually. Always be grateful with everything you have with you and ignore those bad vibes and just focus with this big thing which determines the next steps of your future. I guess I'll just stop right here and continue with my rants some other time.
P.s. 3 more days until the 1st anniversary of the last day of school before SPM 2010. Still unsure whether to anticipate that day with something bizarre for kids of my batch. We'll just have to wait and see. Till then, stay awesome.

What To Say (Type) ?
Hey. Just dropping by to say hi. Still not in the mood to share stories or anything. I'm very sorry if I disappoint you or anything. I guess I'm experiencing the writer's block. Whoa! It's already midnight. This is the effect of procrastinating. Fine. I turned 18 7/12 YESTERDAY. I'm happy. The end.
P.s You may despise me for being this annoying. I'm sorry.

Whad'up Homies!
Blogging live from my lair. I'm very sorry that it took a long time
to say hi. I've been busy with the Eidul Adha family gathering. Not only
that I've been spending time recharging my energy and purposely use the
jet-lag excuse to get out of trouble. The fact is, I'm back and ready
to invade this city but I'll have to wait for my other team members to
arrive.
I guess I won't say much in this post and I'm sure I'll share my so-called adventures for these past few days some other time. Till then, stay awesome. Like me.

I'm Going Home.
Started packing everything today, and gratefully 90% of the whole process is already completed. The other 10% can only be completed tomorrow.
I'm happy that there's no laundry scene/drama today. The weather behaved well and made my job easier. Thank you Mother Nature. You may let it rain here in Shah Alam for as long as you like, after tomorrow.
Had my last lunch and dinner here in college with my closest college friends.
I heard the news that results for UiTM nationwide (except INTEC UiTM) year end examinations are out today. Congratulations to everyone, especially my partners-in-crime and also accomplices for achieving excellent results! Keep up the good work and we need to celebrate. Everything's on me!
Wishing the best for everyone especially my beloved classmates, Le Chicagoans for tomorrow's SAT test and also the upcoming SAT Subject Tests.
I guess I'll keep this post short and sweet. I'm hitting the hay in a few moments. Need to recharge for tomorrow.
Two in one: Westlife (one of my favorite groups) and airplane/airport scene.
P.s To be frank I've never watch the music video but I've heard the song.
