Because Li-Hsien Did Ask For An Update

n i'm finally giving it to her. sorry for the lateness yeah. :P

sooooo......... quarter of the year is gone. yeah so fast eh? things are good. actually. great. i dunno why. things are different this year. things feel great. lol. i can't explain it so yeah. i'll get on to the more me things instead of some philosophical thoughts. we'll come back later. :)

so this year is my first year doing proper Mechanical Engineering. last year was a sorta "introductory to engineering" thing. so yeah. wouldn't really consider it part of my course. more like a foundation sorta thing. this year is when i'm really learnin abt Mechanical stuff and all that. and GOSH. it's hard as hell. like crazy hard. you have to read A LOT k. it's like after each class everyday, u gotta sit and revise what is taught if u wanna keep up. so yeah, studies still suck. bad. cuz i'm lazy la actually. yeah i know i'm supposed to change and all. but aih, it's easier to talk than actually do. sheesh.

oh and this year i've moved to Ilam Village. and i'm staying in the furthest block away from Uni. and considering the Engineering block is also one corner of Uni, i'm pretty much walking end to end. it's like 15 mins walk to Uni.but if u walk fast enough i think 5-10 mins? smth liddat. but i reckon if i skateboard there should be 5 mins.

the place i'm living in is nice tho. it's sorta posh-ish looking. but ooooooo, do i have tons of things to complain abt. cuz k, Ilam Village has like 3 types of buildings, Manuka (old one), Kowhaii (newer) and Hinau (newest). and i'm staying in Hinau cuz i moved from Uni Hall so i get 10 bucks discount per week if i move to Hinau. but i tell you, Kowhaii is soooo much better. confirmed to be moving there next year.

oh, for those who don't know, the place i'm staying is a apartment sorta thing (but we call is flat here. which is kinda weird considering houses are called flats as well.). so i share the place with 4 other ppl, so 5 in total in one flat. and we share the cooking la. yes. i did say cooking. haha. and i totally can't cook ok. so i'm pretty much just learning stuff from my flatmates. i've managed to learn Fried Rice k. not bad. still got tons to learn la. haha. Pasta is like darn easy cuz i've been buying the ready made sauce. so cooking the pasta is pretty much all i have to do la. i say cooking Fried Rice is more fun cuz u can experiment and stuff. but yes, i've got tons more i need to learn how to cook. thinkin of what to cook weekly also is quite a problem cuz i have no idea what to do. haha.

oh yeah, my flatmates are pretty cool. til now i still have no major problems with anyone yet. next to my room there's Raymond, who's the nice guy with the car. then there's Calvin, the master chef. then YL, who's like the one who always experiments and tries making new weird food. and most of the time it comes out gr8. cool right? haha. then there's Alex, Calvin's friend, but now our friend too. he's the one that makes sure the flat is clean. seriously, cuz i think he does the most clearing up and stuff among all of us. haha.

and yeah that's pretty much abt it for the flat. and outside the flat, things are cool as well. got to know more friends. some i'm really grateful for meeting. and i also realised how grateful for the other friends i've made her last year too. really appreciate it.

been gaming a lot too. like going over to ppls place or ppl coming over to our place to game. mostly Dota la (tho i still suck at it.). last night we had a 5v5 game. that was cool. won some lost some. still suck tho. haha. oh we do game L4D and also RA3. i think that's one thing i enjoy a lot this year. the gaming. cuz sometimes it's so intense and all. not bad la.

oh! n i've been driving around here as well. yeah, using Malaysian licence which is valid here. using friend's car la. no car of my own. not sure i will be getting one. haha. yeah i know i said i wouldn't be driving here. but there was a need. so yeah. driving is fun. and makes life convenient. but yeah, there's a lot that comes with it too. so def won't be getting a car anytime this year. i'll just prob stick with my skateboard for now. :)

yeaps. well, that's the update for now. i dunno what else to say. 2nd year here feels so much different. i feel so much more confident. like i know the place now. but i hardly do, i'm still yet to learn a lot more. it's like ure senior, but ure not. and it feels just right. this year feels just right. :)

k see ya! drops me comments if u wanna know more. feel free! don't be shy! i'll accept any comments from anyone! haha. (dunno why i feel so hyper now. haha.)

oh and if anyone actually read the whole thing. remind me to belanja u ice cream next time. haha!
