So be it then...

Official name: Devil

And she really is a devil in disguise...On Christina's lap later on, she was an utter angel, melting all our hearts when she slept like a little innocent baby,,,and guess what, this little rascal later puked up part of its food, and PEE-ED on Christina...and yours truly had to clear the mess...

Devil by name, devillish by nature...

Episode 5: The Next Day

Devil had to stay outside, as no one wanted to risk waking up to a stinking house and a heap of poop when we woke up the next day. It was really hard for me to leave her outside, listening to her lost meows but there was nothing I could do but hope that she would still be around the next morning for me to take her to SPCA.

The next morning, however, Devil was still waiting outside...mewing at me the moment I peeped outside. I wasted no time in preparing the leftover cat food from yesterday for her breakfast, praying fervently for her to still be around in the afternoon. I guess I was pretty adamant of finding her a good new home...

However, when we returned, she was nowhere to be found. Christina and Jillian clearly missed her too, and we even attempted mewing around college to call her.

It was to no avail until several hours later, when we saw a group of young kids clutching a black kitten like a rag doll, even dropping it on the road. I ached to run and rescue her, especially when I heard her terrified cry (she's scared of heights, by the way) but there was no way I could grab a kitten away from Akasia's resident staff's kids, could I?

~~~

However, when Christina and I returned, thinking of various ways to rescue Devil, we saw the little black kitten huddled fearfully under a tricycle. The kids had abandoned her, at least for the time being....but there was no telling when they would be back...

Well, what did you expect 2 Vets-To-Be to do? Leave the poor kitten to either get run over, or suffer in the hands of kids who still did not understand respect for animals?

Christina grabbed Devil and we bolted up the steps, trying to mask the mewing as much as we could. While I packed my stuff to return for the weekend, she watched her, and even managed to stop her JUST IN TIME from pooping on my couch. The 3rd floor of Laman 3 is really going to stink tonight, though...

Finally, Devil was carried to my mom's car hidden by Christina's jacket, much to her disgust that the cat that just pooped was nestled against her clothes...

~~~~~

Finally, our rescue attempt was successful, and tomorrow, I shall bid goodbye to this little kitten who touched our hearts deeply, even for a brief period of time. I have to say, I've grown more attached to her than I have been towards cats for a very long time, and all I can really hope for now is for a kind soul to take her tomorrow. Yes, our little Devil deserves a good home...

And these are the pics I promised...

Don't ask...I can't remember where did this photo come from either...

Ho Sheng, head of strings, conductor, and a real good friend

Rita, fellow 2nd Violinist and committee member, thanks for all your help during the hols..

Ling Hui, Rita, Faye, and I...

Yes. that's our teacher advisor...

And Yen asked me to post these pics up...She took these pics during one of our rehearsals, when Faye was coaching me patiently...I'm real grateful for all that...

These are pics from Chu's Birthday BBQ the other day...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akasia is starting to feel more and more like home now, as I begin to settle into the normal routines of life.

One thing though, it seems like everyone is forced to grow up here, one way or the other. Before this, all we had to worry about was studying, homework, getting good grades, etc. But now, its still studying, homework, and getting good grades...along with finding time for laundry, remembering to dump the garbage, grocery shopping for fruits to try and avoid getting sick, finding our own doctors if we get sick, living off a tight budget, deciding what's for dinner, waking up real early to fight for the bus...

I can't help but feel that should I have continued in Taylor's I would definitely be living far comfortably than now, but would probably never get the chance to experienced and independant life outside. Life is tougher here, but I can't help but think about some of my friends who are living comfortably the way I did a month before...I suppose everyone'll have to go through this someday...

Adaptation skill is vital. Why, the AUSMAT cafe is always packed with people during the lunch hour that often, there's barely any food left, apart from some mystery meat if we're slightly late. And for those brave enough to try the mystery meat...well...

We've adapted to racing down in between period changes at 10 to tapau lunch, then bringing it to class and eating at 1pm. Sure, the food would have been cold by then, but most will tell you they'll rather eat cold food, than risk consuming the occassional Liver or Lung............*cough hint*

I actually have far more I want to say, but its almost 5am, and I'll probably collapse in sheer exhaustion tomorrow if I don't sleep now, considering the past few nights that I barely slept...

Musical Night 2007

String Ensemble: Draw Your Bow...

Luthier String Ensemble performing

Gah, darn you, Internet connection...I had to type my stuff in Notepad again...

And I'm dying here...several HUNDRED (I'm not exaggerating) questions of Maths, Bio homework, English assignment AND presentation to be done in 2 days...*jumps off the building*

But finally...

The event that had somehow kept me bound, in a sense, to Taylor's is over..I'm free, not that I really want to though..I still miss everything bout Taylors: the convenience of having everything within walking distance, the freedom of attire, the 8-3 classes, my friends, the String Ensemble, and the Anime Society..

Life in Intec isn't designed for its student's convenience, its meant to toughen us up enough that we can survive living in the big, bad world out there all by ourselves. For instance, to get a doctor, one has to WALK all the way to the clinics in the shoplots, which is at least 5 times the distance from My Place apartments to Taylors, across the main road and such, regardless of how sick one is. Been seeing several cases of this within the past 2 weeks, considering Xiang Xiang and Jillian had high fevers simultaneously, prompting Christina and I to have practically visited most of the clinics in the area.

The clinics are pretty unique: one has an ultra cool touchscreen laptop to communicate with the medicine dispensary but seemed to have a total lack of hygiene sense, another claimed to be a 24 hours clinic but Jillian, Christina and I had to ring for more than 15 muntes to get him to wake up when we visited at 3am (and he had an intercom and numbers like a bank..imagine that for a little clinic..)

And MAN, do I miss the Taylor's lecturers...and the Taylor's computers that are 95% virus free..Christina's pendrive was infected the very FIRST time she plugged it to the com.

Oh, and did I mention that printing of 1 sheet of paper costs 30cents here? I NEED MY TAYLOR'S PRINT QUOTA!!!!!

But what am I doing ranting about Akasia & Intec life when my main purpose of blogging was to post up on Musical Night??

I wouldn't say it was a complete success, but it was certainly better than I had expected once your ignore the chaos before the event and all the delays...

Chaos before event: Can you believe that half an hour before the event was scheduled to start, the entrance was strewn with sponsor material, rubbish, and goodie bags that should have been arranged neatly a day before...and there was no one to man registration and security...

Well, strings played pretty well, Eine Kleine and Cristofori's Dream was a hit, only Adagio brought about some complaints as it wasn't a suitable starting piece. The solo singing was A-MA-ZING, Janice outdid herself end her powerful voice really mesmerized everyone in the hall.

The Dwn, a rock band, was pretty good I must say, even though I don't exactly fancy rock music. The funny part was Su Lyn and me recording Faye "singing along" to the rock band, much to her indignance...hmmm, youtube, anyone? =P

Jo Ann's piano solo was good. I mean it. She's definitely musically talented; the best violinist we had in strings that it was quite a waste that she didn't play along with us. The other piano solo, by our string's pianist, Zheng Huang was no doubt easier, but better received as her songs, Canon and Valentine were familiar to the the musically illiterate people in the audience.

Ee Theng's singing with her boyfriend accompanying her on the piano had me and Venny singing along in the gallery to Yong Qi, one of my favourites. In fact, the string ensemble was pretty SS up there on the gallery, cheering, hollering, clapping and waving; making more noise than most of the audience. During the performance by Awakening Emotion, man, the audience loved them...their jazz performance really appealed to the crowd...and up on the gallery, well...

Chan Kwok Fai's performance was quite a hit as well, as was Nicholas and Vern Sheng's song and the choir's Petaling Street Love Story towards the end, though many people had already began to take their leave.

There's no way this can live up to last year's musical night, but still, it was better than expected and certainly a great experience indeed.I learned a lot; be it through the bad, or the good...

And well, there're a few that I really want to thank...Faye, for patiently coaching me through the tougher songs in the string ensemble, for standing up for me and listening to my rants when things got too tough..Ho Sheng, for all the help, the photocopied books, and for the faith you had in this noob violinist throughout it all...Hui Yen, for her never-ending support as well as allowing me to use her com until past 12am several times just to finish the Musical Night tickets, banner and poster...My anime society buddies (Ian, Wei Shan, Siak Gee) whose help and support during the simultaneous preparation of both Musical Night and Anime Fest really eased the pressure...The string ensemble, whom I've always enjoyed playing with and dearly miss now that I'm in Intec, for ...My family who spent time and money to attend the performance, even though I know they don't fancy stuff like this...And of course, to whoever else I missed out unintentionally...

Do keep checking for the pics...I'll try upload as soon as I can...

i want confess too! =D

tan yang here

we have one lecturer called ms. joyce.
according to almost everyone in the class..
she is hot! :p

1 tiny example:

that day she was lecturing us for not having enough time to study
she sed we have too many bad influence at home.

she made us imagine
we have ps2 at home..
and everytime we enter our house after class..
the ps2 will say:
lai(come)..lai~ lai~ lai larr~
*omg using super sexy voice :p

then she walked to the other side of the class..
made us imagine a Xbox 360 saying:
lai~ lai~ lai~ kuai dian lai larr~ (faster come la)

last but not least!
she asked us to imagined our BED..
made us fantasizing our BED saying:
join me..join me..join me~
what will you think when a female asking you to imagine a bed somemore calling: join me~
and the fact that she used a super soft + sexy voice didn't help
=.=


many many many females classmates of mine sed they were turned on by her.
not by me =.=

haha ofcourse there are other characteristics of her that made us think she's hot la but i only remember this =D
hey i always focus during class one okayy =P

she is super strict though.
late for class fined rm5
late come back to class during break will make the class wont have breaks for the rest of the week
din do hwk straightaway kena kick out of the class =(

but she is a good LECTURER la dont get me wrong =)
and she is super kind to us too! keep on giving long speech of how to pass the subject, how to pass acca, how to get in to the big 4 audit firms =)
ohh and tmrw she giving small test! gotta be a good boy and go study redi!
tata! =)

ehh wait wait i remember d
normally during class right
she wud address us as dear..darling..
that is cool la but common too
then hor
there was this day
she asked some guy from behind to answer a question
that guy was like thinking hard but couldn't answer her..
she said:" come on baybeh you can do it!"
the whole class went o.O
some guys are figuratively nose bleeding! not me! =D
do you know any lecturer that will address her student as..baby?
how cool is that? o.O

but i don't like her style
all our notes are in chart and diagram form
which is of course easier to study
easier to memorize the key points
but this is an essay paper
notes in chart form means during exam you hafta make ur own sentences
and my language is not good =(
