hehe =)

'No More Rain' - Kylie

Registered

it's official...
i'm registered...wow, it sounds like i'm either a farm animal or a criminal...

you've probably guessed it, i was talking about college....

i'm going to be part of MUFY & Sun-U in July 08...

i hate to say this but i'm starting to get nerves...
it's just surreal, coz i have been on hols for so long...

moving to a new environment always scares me... coz i'm not exactly a quick adapter...
but then again just about everyone i know has gone through this...

so many things running through my mind now...
mostly things that frighten me...
OK, better stop... coz if i choose to worry,
i can make an endless list of things that could possibly go wrong...

I must stay true to the Nike slogan: Just Do It!

Oh, on a happier note, today's driving lesson went smoothly, i managed to do the slope, parking and three point turn... another lesson this Sunday... =)

what i'm watching now

hehe as u all know i'm still on holiday.... these days i spend more time in front of the TV...

i know a lot of ppl are busy and tied up with a million responsibilities but hey if u wanna watch TV, let me recommend what i think is nice...

AXN is airing Season 4 of House, and i think it's really good... Dr.House is in the process of hiring a new team and this show is witty, funny and addictive... It's different from Grey's Anatomy (which i also really like) in the sense that the focus of the show is more on the diagnosis and treating of patients, but it doesn't abandon character growth... Guess i'm just a sucker for shows about medicine...

also i'm following Season 2 of Prison Break which airs on Star World, but i discovered that 8TV is already showing Season 3... This show is brilliant, i must say the writers did a good job to keep the plot exciting and there's a surprise in every episode...

If you are more into reality shows, try Malaysia's version of 'So You Think You Can Dance' which is on 8TV... now, most Malaysian remakes have been less that appealing, like Malaysian Idol and Project Runway Malaysia... but the 2nd season of this dance talent show is actually not bad... turns out that Malaysians can dance!

For comedies, i like to watch Hope & Faith and also 30 Rock... both shows are hilarious... catch them on Star World, 10-11pm Monday...

also, CSI is airing a new season on AXN if i'm not mistaken, i'm not a follower of the franchise but some of my family members are...

have fun watching TV!

In Pictures: my past few weeks

i thought it would be nice for u to see what i've seen lately... =)

just random things from different places... all snapped with my handy hp...

checkers

Baby Ostrich for sale at flea mart

complementary fruits @ a Chinese restaurant

...at a German restaurant in The Curve

Oh, recently my family discovered a new area (to us at least) called Dataran Sunway at Kota Damansara which is between Tropicana and The Curve... this place is like a food paradise... from coffee shops to cafes to restaurants of all cuisines... we also stumbled upon a shop that sells lots of fresh fruits and veges...

ByeBye Clay, Hello Grass!

Roland Garros is over after 2 weeks of quality tennis from a handful of players...

and it was no surprise that Rafael Nadal would win his fourth consecutive French Open title, cementing his status as one of the greatest clay court players of all time... he has NEVER loss a single match at Roland Garros.... and i just love the green shirt he's wearing this year...

Ana Ivanovic made Serbia proud when she lifted her first Grand Slam title, an indication of many more to come... also, with this win she replaces Maria Sharapova as the new world No.1....

now it's time for the brief grass court season, my favourite surface... Wimbledon will be at the end of this month, and i will be getting another case of Slam Fever!

Drained

sorry it's been a no show for the past couple of days...

haven't been doing much lately other than watching and playing tennis...

the French Open has concluded, n i will post about that later...

i have been playing sports for the past 4 consecutive days, n it has clearly built it's toll on me...

have not felt so tired since doing physical stuff in NS and having to wake up at 5.30am everyday...

played almost 3 hours yesterday until 11pm, and this morning when i woke up it felt like i got ran over by a bike...

ok, imagine a chocolate bar in it's wrapper that has completely melted... that's how i feel inside now... i'd better go into the fridge a.k.a. get some rest before the chocolate leaks out...

haha... ever since coming back from NS i've had this constant hunger to play tennis, and it was what i got... now, i'm actually getting a bit sick of it coz i have had too much...

SO i told myself to take at least 3 days off from this sport... that way i will be fresh going into a future match...

On A High

yay, today was my second driving lesson...

it was lots of fun!

even though i was pretty tensed throughout the whole thing, but it was awesome when i was going fast...

today i did almost everything u see on the roads, from traffic lights to junctions to highways.... we drove in the Bandar Utama area, and also passed by TTDI and Damansara Utama...

the best part was the highway, it's quite intimidating coz there's a lot of fast cars but i love going fast on fourth gear... the only problem is slowing down and avoiding other vehicles...

also i still can't judge distances well... for example when i should start breaking... sometimes i stop way too early, sometimes i almost hit the car in front...

next week i'm gonna pick up the pace and do two 4 hour lessons.... So it's eight hours of practice... i really look forward to it... =)

Leakage in Sands of Time

time sure is passing at hyper speed... is it June already?

i can hardly believe that another month is gone & the clock inside my head is ticking continuously and gradually getting louder & louder...

it has made me so conscious of how i spend every second.... (pretty much sitting around doing nothing)... my holidays are coming to an end, and i'm both happy & sad at the same time...

but i'm sure it's for the better, any longer & i will probably become eternally stupid...

here's a nice video to kick start this month:
