TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) is where i am now taking my STPM course.... yes you're seeing this correctly, STPM in a college?!?! How can this be possible?! Well...... honestly i dunno why, TARC has some history leading to the offer of STPM courses there.
One thing that almost everyone will see when they enter this college is that TARC is quite big when compared to other colleges. Uni doesn't count..... it's a totally different league over there.
Oh yeah, i'm also staying in the TARC hostel, a merry little place to live in~~ although the distance between the hostels and the STPM building is freakin far. It's my 4th day here but my feet already hurts.... a lot.
The orientation week is okok loh. So far none is super boring, or maybe i'm just too hyped up.
The lecturers are, by far, totally different from our school teachers, and not to mention the subjects too.... eesh. Although i'm not too sure about A-levels *blek* xP
The cyber centre is THE most futuristic building in TARC, with the fastest broadband speed in Malaysia. Now that is awesome!!! Of course, that's what i would say if it weren't for them blocking me off from most of the addictive websites on the net with the exception of facebook =[
Oh well, there is still more to come. TARC is full of stuff i need to both brag AND "smother".... haha joking..... or not o.O

Darn........ a few of my closest friends have abandoned me to go for NS. Now I'm alone at home with limited people to chat with ~no offence guys~ and i'm slowly being driven mad. As mad as a hatter, they say xD. Too bad i didn't see the film though, heard some mixed reviews from my friends.
There is still hope yet, I can chat with my buddies from NS during weekends ^^ yay me!! Based on what they have told me, they're having the most mundane life ever experienced there oO
Cheer up guys, I heard that after a few weeks time, NS will start to get more lively. One of my closest buddy, Tzu Shian, says that the sky in sabah is filled with beautiful bright stars. Hope I can get some pics of it when he comes back xD
The last time I've seen the sky full of stars is when I was in india years ago. Unfortunately I was too young to be awed by its beauty >.>
In an unrelated topic, i was invited by my friend, Gibien, to his church for an event. Wei li, his cousin and eow tagged along. I loved the street percussion performance, it was so cool and upbeat. The worship songs were awesome too xD
Even though i had 4 missed calls and a message from my dad, i don't really mind him scolding me (which he didn't, mind you) cuz i had one of the most exciting night in my life.

Today i went to my grandma's house to celebrate CNY, and every year we get to see a lion dance. However, one day before the celebration, me and my bros had to clean the house first.
The cleaning was kinda backbreaking, but it was quite different from what i usually do so it's interesting.
Here are some pics during the CNY and lion dance, no video unfortunately (i pressed the play button wrongly T.T). All of these were hand crafted and decorated by my grandma, she has a talent for these kind of things, and cooking, and body health knowledge lolz.
Here are some of her works:
Here are some of her works:
~The orange isn't real
~I had to give my grandparents some tea, otherwise no ang pau T.T
~A very big (fake) candle
~A very big china pot
~Those plants are not easy to be twisted,
those fish have eyes ><
~Ooh.. pretty lights ><
~T.T sob, why did i press the play button wrongly?
no more video of the lion dance, sobs
~bow down to me muahahaha ><
~bow down to me some more muahahaha
~cool stance
And here's a vid of me cleaning the front porch: me and my bros had to help clean her house.

I went to batu caves at 12 today for my driving exam. The exam starts at 1:30 so me and my friend, eow, had to wait for a while. I was a little nervous at first, but the immense boredom sorta cured it.
We had to do bahagian 2 first ( slope, parking and 3 point turn), then proceed on to bahagian 3 (on-the-road). For the slope test, we are given 2 chances, but i passed it the first time. So i went on to parking, which was alright until when i wanted drive out of parking space. The clutch couldn't move to gear 1 T.T so scary. I tried moving the gear around and then finally i got it, but i lost some time there.
After that I went straight to the 3 point turn and passed it with ease. Once i finished bahagian 2 I had to get my results from the exam instructor. Amazingly, i scored 20/20 lolz.
Then it was on to bahagian 3. I did all the neccesary steps and drove out, but i forgot to shift to gear 2 until the instructor told me =.=. In a nutshell, i was slow but i managed to score 17/20 in my bahagian 3 so I'm going to get license in a few days, yay!!

Last friday, I went to a course called e-major discovery pro. As the name suggests, it provides us training on how to handle life and well, discover ourselves.
I had fun, but I was one of the few people who never "expressed" themselves yet. Not really my kind of thing actually, but who knows, i could have been different if I did expressed myself.
The course lasted 3 days, but I went there and back for the 3 days cuz apparently those who were from out of state could stay over night.
The activities were alright, but I didn't like the business company budget planning, not my cup of tea. I met some very interesting people back there, learnt more about human communication.
For the personality test, from the four personas, I got the last one "D" which is not bad if i say so myself. From the ten faces of innovation on the other hand, i got 9 "anthropologist" which basically is:

Practice the principle of ‘beginner’s mind’.
Embrace human behavior.
Draw inferences by listening to their intuition.
Seek out epiphanies (sense of ‘déjà vu’).
Keep ‘idea wallets’.
Search for clues in the trash bin.
"Anthropologists" manage to get people to talk about themselves, enjoys being with and amongst people, asks probing questions and projects a non-threatening image.

Tomorrow, I'm going to hit the wheels again. I stalled a few times already, i don't want to stall again this time. Anyways, i already did moving, stopping, turning, reversing, parking, three point turn, on-the-road. All is left is the uphill stopping. The instructor thought me how when i was on-the-road, but the steps are scary....... real scary.
So after tomorrow, I'm going to a sorta camp-like activity for 3 days. To and fro, 3 days, the horror.
It's supposed to help me choose my career or something like that. I hope it's worth it, since I went through all the trouble to sign up.
Then after the 3 days, I'm going to wil wil's B'day (sunday). I told him to wear his birthday suit, but he didn't quite understand. Oh well, somethings are better left unknown =]

I took the undang test already, got 49/50. Nothing to brag about, the computer exam is an exact copy of the exercise book.
So after that I'm going for the real driving exam on 26th of january, i think it's too fast but my instructor said I'll be ready on that day. Even my dad is surprised. Hopefully I'll pass.
