Haha, my student ID and password finally works!!! I’m currently at the ICT Lab in the Tan Sri Loyang(?) library. Haha, we only have 7 weeks for our first semester, and now it’s only 5 more weeks left. Kinda piled up with assignments. Yeah, i used to think that 600-700 words was like a lot, but now, it’s WAY too little to write! i write like 1000 words-ish essays!

My class is the noisy-rouge-can’t keep still class! Haha, so i guess i kinda feel at home. But i think one of my lecturer’s gonna blow up soon…… Can’t blame her. The subs kinda boring, and though i really try to listen to her, i tend to get distracted.

Parents still trying to make me change to Architecture. Imagine, i’ll be joining the first intake in June/July and my friends will already be entering their second semester in Mass Comm. I mean, my dad’s kinda worried that i won’t secure a job when i’m hitting middle age if i do PR. I never thought about it that way. It’s true that male clients tend to get attracted by pretty young things, and he’s worried i won’t get respect. But somehow, i don’t think so. I mean, most ppl don’t work what they learn in college/uni. Take Peter Ong for example (Rexona’s No Sweat Dance Challenge judge/Jalan Impian actor) he’s a lawyer with a very gifted tongue. What’s he doing now? He’s an Opera singer/dancer. See? 2 totally different line of work. One’s monotonous and one’s up-beat! And who’s to say that architect’s don’t get respected? They have to EARN their respect and work their way through, just like anyone actually…. Oh btw, the guy who won the Nescafe’s Kick-start Challenge? He’s working in the marketing Comm line. Hah!

And who says Mass Comm’s easy? Those who do say that, prolly just slept in class and didn’t participate in any open floor discussions. Do you know what semantic is? Who decides what we see on TV today? Kinda a lot of memorising to do, so i would say my work’s cut out for me. I’m not that worried for the future yet. I’m worried about my due assignment at the moment!

Nickelback - Far away

Far Away - Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

I love you
I’ve loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

I love you
I’ve loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

So far away
(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
So far away
(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing, ’cause i’m not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go

- this song’s been ringing in my head this whole week. Still have no idea why, but i guess i’m just a sentimental fool, or a mental fool. Take ur pick. 

Taylor’s College Petaling Jaya : Diploma in Communication

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

So I’m finally in college…. took a whole 11 years of being taught in BM, uniforms, cranky and brilliantly nice teachers, and tonnes of amazing friends which i would never wanna forget (u know who u are). Sigh……….. out with the old, in with the new!

I officially had my first week of college. It’s so totally weird! Okie, i just need a lil adjusting to. After all, I’m only human. Anyway, on Mon day (20th of March) was a full day of orientation. We had like 4 hours of talks and got intro to the staff of so and so department. Honestly i can’t remember much from that…… was too busy looking around at my new surroundings. I’m easily astounded huh? :P Then after lunch ( we have 1 hour lunches now? What do we do?) we had an ice-breaker session aka team building with the ppl from computing foundation march intake sem 1. Haha, totally was surprised when i met Timothy WHO’S from S’ban WHO knew ppl from S’ban too!! So cool! Anyway, we played like 4 games. It was fun, so much so i lost track of time and missed the bus. And on the first day of college too!! Sigh………….

Tuesday - had my first 4 hour class in a row-Intro to Comm and Human Behavior. We’re learning about ourselves….. not in the bio sense but the way we talk. I didn’t know there was a sub for that! Anyway our lecturer was Mr Indy who has a cool American accent and, basically he’s a nice guy. Can tell we’re gonna have an easy time with him. And then we have Miss Jenny who’s our lecturer for Intro to Mass Comm and College Study Skills. So technically that means we’re gonna be seeing her 2/3 of the week. She’s a newbie i think, but nice. Haha, college studying skills is like an English writing class again! Haha, with a fancy name.

Wednesday - got my first assignment!!Okie, it’s an ungraded assignment. Mr Indy just wants to see if we can cope with a journal. My first entry was about my parents being over-protective. Think about it, they warned me not to get close to any guys. Hello? I’m in an CO-ED college and I’m in MASS COMM where we’re gonna have loads of GROUP DISCUSSIONS and most prolly one GUY would be assigned to our group!! Go figure……. second one was just about my day. Mr Indy’s gonna sleep on that one, was talking about coordinating my pencil box….

Thursday - Nothing much. Attended class and then a short exam briefing. Think SPM procedures and that’s it! Haha…….

Friday - Had 2 hours of lesson! I love Fridays…… But next week I’m gonna have replacement class so…………….

Anyway, college is said to be the best of ur teen life. We’ll see to what extend….
