Things have been pretty "shifty" for me the past month...I've started law classes (loads of work) and I've been moving around more often than I ever have...
From inter-city public transport to long journeys back home..plus ample walking..and meeting so many different people...Life has changed haha...I'm practically living off my bags now, at home and everywhere else...new places everyday, new attitudes (not that i'm in favour of some), new smiles, new friends :)
Time - once again taken the front seat..everything measured against it..complete pages and pages of readings..lunch breaks haha (what do you want to eat today?)..everyday is a mystery..with new friends, my close friend and i discover new places..lucky to have her around..heart-breaking having to "open wallet" every time..
did u know, law lecturers have a really good sense of humour? haha they talk well (part of the job rite) and they dress well (u can go on gawking at some of them hehe)..
it's all challenging...in a good way...life's not easy...and that's a good thing...'cos someone out there is having it worse than me..so no complaints..just taking it all in..i know this post has proven to be soooo random, which i don't normally encourage myself to do...but hey it's my blog!! (biasness allowed :)
taking it all positively, it's all a good thing..probably sign up for a society soon enough..learn more things..law is not all about the books (Everyone says that psshh!!)..yet, another good thing..yeh!! i love to read and write...doesn't mean i love staring at pages all day long..gotta be realistic aite? then again, i did consider joining the college's editorial team hmmm must be in the blood..
i've lost an umbrella, slipped and fell in public, dropped my stuff ample of times, almost got caught in between closing train doors, sat with an oh-so-unpleasant lady, met a really distant relative on the bus, waited for the train for about an hour (bad service :p), accidentally wet my top when i was making my way out of the toilet, didn't realise i had a button open until i looked down to check my bags, there's an elderly man in my class who's taking his law degree (determination, that one), had a hilarious train ride with my 3-year-old cousin, becoming an expert on getting around the city (exaggeration, i know hehe), still haven't figured out the bus system, found out there's a college in the train station itself, discovered that fast food is sometimes cheaper compared to most food (gotta "discover" more reasonably-priced places)..
anyway, the BEST part of it all............coming home during the weekend :)

Of Fathers and their Hidden Roles
I came across this article posted by my friend on his blog. I just so loved it. Makes you think of fathers in a different perspective. It's in Malay though so for those you who can read it, do take the time to do so :)
DADDY/PAPA/APPA/ATTA/ABI
Thanks again Firdaus :)

The weekend...Boot camp!!
If I don't get this done now, I'd probably sweep it into a quiet little place which will be forgotten so here it is..the update of the weekend - Sunway's very first Boot Camp!!
After being so indecisive about the whole thing, I finally signed up for it. Bumped about not having my friends come along (I tried really really hard)...but it was alright. Few of them were in the organising committee and there were a whole lot of new friends to be made =)
The day that I was leaving...BAD MOOD!! didn't like the way I was reacting for no apparent reason and I probably pissed everyone off too..luckily they are the AWESOME family that I most LOVE and CARE about...the dearest people that would put up with anything I dish out...THANK YOU =)
Bags packed, I was running behind schedule..when I reached, saw familiar faces..luckily they hadn't started..got a peek at the groupings list...I did not know anyone!!...so what..that's what we were there for right?? 'Come as Friends, Leave as Family'...thumbs up for the slogan!!
Walking to the campsite..firstly, I did NOT expect the walk to be that LONG..second, the toilets were such a long way from campsite!...third, it was such a BEAUTIFUL view!!! Loved it ever so much..though I wouldn't wanna live in a place like that hehe...
We had to come up with group names and cheers..plus flag drawing competition!..the name part..Eon - creative much :) WOSAR!! not gonna reveal what it stands for :p the group cheer hehe though it sounded a lil more harsh than the other groups, we won the BEST CHEER award! yeh!! thanks to group leader Wei Quing too..the flag well we sorta had to make do with everything we had..the hand print part..again...genius!
And the idea (by ms liza) to take this shot..love it :)
Then, it was off to station games..by this time, 2 more new friends..Kit and Stephanie..funny duo..missing u guys..oh ya, we had to set up our own tents, too..tat's where I met Vasu, Aruna and Kuen May..tent mates!
It started pouring right after the first station, so we all gathered and well, did what we do best - EAT!! We also played the untangle game..and a new one..my favourite - kung fu master, ah beng ah seng (i think tat's wat they called it), red indians and cowboy!! hahahahahaha still laughing thinking about tat one...
Walking back to campsite...ahh!! muddy ground..tents were a little wet..sticky sticky..yuck yuck haha...part of the fun..at night, CAMPFIRE!! we got to do this dance I learnt during guiding days..found out they have a chinese version of it too..then I finally got to learn the Lousiana dance..or whatever u call it..that was fun fun FUN!!..we did the Waka Waka cheer around the campfire..only thing, our feet kept sticking in the mud lol...
That night, we had the chance to go to a DJ mixing event organised in LWOT..since we were already there, we got to get in for free..i'd never been to anything like it so it was a first for me..new experience..loved the lighting..after an hour or so, walked up to where some of the others who weren't joining were sitting..a little more calmer there haha..talk stories..hehe ms liza's love story lagi..one by one, more campers gathered there...we waited until a larger group had gathered before walking back together..i was sooo tired, i couldn't be bothered about the inadequate space or condition in the tent..though i did hear alot of singing, laughing, talking, and fake firework cheers..u ppl really got me there..and there i was thinking i missed out hehe...
morning the next day...all excited for the race..after warming up (and getting entertained by victor's monkey faces and all sorts of stunts) we were READY!! ran and ran WOW...it was fun..we lost our way to the 1st station :p i got minor scratches during the 1st task..small matter..there was rafting (now i know i'm not good in it haha funny experience with Kit), swan boat paddling (cycled so hard with Eon), went down the water slide with Betty (didn't expect it to get that fast towards the end), looking for clues, getting stared at visitors..so much fun..we came in last btw hahahaha...
we got to go 'behind the scenes' of Tiger Valley...the tiger trainer was sooo tall..i looked down to check if he was standing on higher ground haha...learnt so much there..later, enjoyed the dry park with Stephanie, Kaylee and Melissa...i went for so many spins until i felt sick to the stomach..then director paid a visit, plus award time and then packing up before enjoying the rest of the park!..the hotsprings was so soothing to my tired legs...
finally it was time to ciao!! had so much fun...made many new friends...and to the organising committee..u guys did a splendid job!!
