Now where do i start... lots of things have been going on lately, so much so that i slept the whole day today to regain back some energy.... kai aun is going to scold me again for sleeping all the time lol.
my mind is jumbled with lots of thoughts right now, i don't know how to sort it out. so then maybe by blogging here, it'll help me be at peace with my thoughts for a while.
I'll start with the Malacca trip on Wednesday. went with the 'SAD' guys namely zen, kai aun, jian ming, yiau hoong, zhi yi, woon wee and teddy. was a great trip. reached malacca at around lunch time and ate satay for lunch.

me and the SAD guys! (except wei ming lol)
there were other batchmates who went to malacca on that day too. this is all those who were in malacca:

so many of us haha, plus jebby as well, who were not in the picture because she was the photographer. thanks jebby :)
after a not-so-filling lunch of satay (how do u get full on satay??? unless u spend really a lot lol), we went to visit the famous A Famosa.

Woon Wee, me and teddy outside the A Famosa. u can tell it's a hot afternoon by the look of woon wee's displeasure of having to pose under the sun hahahaha. A Famosa is a fort built by the Portugese against any intruders from the Strait of Malacca. It is armed with cannons such as this:

this is one of the A Famosa cannons!! oh wait.... i must be a little mistaken. this is yiau hoong's big cannon! and that's zen looking delighted at touching yiau hoong's cannon. LOL
then inside the fort itself were many amazing plates with dutch inscription on it. it was a church as well i think. really amazing. this is one of the plates. notice the old wall behind it :O!!

JENG JENG JENG... now i present to u the captains and generals that were in great discussion in the fort!! this great scene was captured by none other than yours truly, moi.
from left to right: Coporal Alphonso Yiau Hoong, General JM Marque, Second-in-command Colombus Zhi Yi, Captain-General QueQue Woon Wee, Lieutenant Zen, Coporal Alexander Teddy, Knight-Lieutenant Ebezekiel Kai Aun.Captain-General Queque Woon Wee: My dear General! I've received grave news indeed that the Dutch are planning to attack this fort in a few days time. Pray, tell me what you've line up for our defense.General JM Marque: There will be a big storm soon. Rain, thunder and lightning will rain upon us and the enemy. This is an advantage to us as the enemy are coming on ships. I suggest we built more cannons etc etc.....Lieutenant Zen: what??!!! it's going to rain soon?Coporal Alexander Teddy: i don't think it's going to rain kua.... look, it's so hot now.Second-in-command Columbus Zhi Yi: *this is going no where, rain or not, it doesn't matter, i have an umbrella on my shoulders*Knight-Lieutenant Kai Aun: It's raining soon? I better open my umbrella. *clicks, umbrella opened*Coporal Alphonso Yiau Hoong: Sigh... this is so boring, i want to go back home, kimochi,kimochi(whatever that means lol, kimochi seems to be the coporal's favourite word)while they were in deep discussion, i was walking around enjoying the view, taking photos with teddy's camera, lol. after A Famosa we walked to the Famous Jonker Street. on the way, we passed by Christ Church Malacca:

Me and kai aun. was really hot, very hard to smile properly when the sun's right on my face. after walking some more we reached:

Jonker Street!! Jian ming was telling us about this nice shop selling cendol. so we were walking around looking for it. after walking a whole round, we found the shop!!! it was right at the beginning..... lol, thanks jian ming for the exercise hahaha.
the cendol was really yummy! not too sweet, much to my liking. after that we walked around and tried the famous chicken rice balls, where the rice were moulded into balls and served with chicken. nothing special lol, the rice was a bit harder than your normal chicken rice, due to the moulding.
night came and we had dinner at a nyonya restaurant. christine, a m207 malacca-ian came with her mother and some of our batchmates. christine's mum paid for our dinner, thank you very much. :)

after dinner we went to eat satay celup, hahaha, eat eat and eat. satay celup is like where u dip sticks of fishballs/prawns/meat/squids into a boiling pot of satay sauce and wait till it's cook. then u eat it. Thus ends the malacca trip.
Next day was the klang trip. zen being a klang-ian, was really enthusiatic about the trip. most of us were just tired after the malacca trip, hahaha. we were joined by jian ren, guan meng, shin ying and kelvin for the klang trip.

group photo at zen's house. jian ren was the photographer.
for lunch, we went to eat klang's bah kut teh. was quite nice. then we went to eat klang's cendol. wasn't that nice, it was really extremely too sweet. much prefered malacca's 1. but zen being a klang-ian... was full of praises for the cendol and said the malacca 1 was... sour. =.="
after that we went aeon, the biggest shopping complex in klang. after walking around some of us went to watch 2012 at the cinema, while 5 of us decided to rest a bit and went zen's house. then we meet up for a late dinner of steamboat.

lots of jokes that night, hahaha. and thus was the end of the 2 days trip. the next day was a day we all dread. the results day. i remember i was so nervous it was hard to eat my lunch T__T. feeling scared, i went to get the results all by myself, not wanting to meet any friends at that moment. took the results and went to one of the pbl room to open it. and.............. well, thankfully i passed my theory, but alas, got a C-, a grade short of pass, for my OSCE. feeling a little relieved about my theory but unhappy about my OSCE, i decided not to meet any of my friends, to avoid them from asking me about my results. but then i thought: since a few month ago, i've been close to the SAD gang. they will undoubtly want to know about my results. i grimaced at the thought of telling them about my failed osce. it was inevitable though. so i called zhi yi to pay him the petrol money and toll for the 2 days, waiting for him to ask me about my results.
but in a few seconds which my calls got through, the battery ran out. i contemplated on my next move. to find my friends and pay zhi yi there, after getting asked about my results? or should i go back and recharge my phone, not meeting them. being courageless to face them, i decided to go back home. called my dad to tell him about the results, then called zhi yi to continue the cut conversation. since i didnt want to go out, he was kind enough to come over. i paid the petrol money and we talked a bit. it help me eased my unhappiness a little.
then kai aun called me. talked about the results a bit, then... he asked me if i've seen someone close to the gang. cos he was missing. i was rather amused and after a while told him that zhi yi was at my place. and kai aun said i kidnapped him...... =.=" and that they are going to come and rescue him.... after dinner. =.=" and so he asked me out for dinner with zen, woon wee, teik yew and zen's bro n sis.
and so i met up with them for dinner. by this time everyone was saying i kidnapped zhi yi, tie him up and held him at knife-point. =.=" (for what i also don't know lol). it didn't help that the first thing zhi yi said, to woon wee, when we arrived at the dinner place was: woon wee! i'm still alive!
so that's what been going on with my life lately. a few of the SAD guys are helping me for my OSCE T___T i'm so thankful to them. this tuesday, i'm supposed to have a practise session with zhi yi and woon wee. i've only been friends with them for a few months, i can't believe they're so nice to help me out already. much in contrast to someone i know, who i considered my close friends of 2 years.
this OSCE resit, i'm going to pass it, for sure. that day on the 2nd day of my osce, i remembered how terribly i performed. i was nervous, anxious and stressed to the point of panicking in the room. i knew i've could've done much better, but what's done it's done. it's in the past, i can only go forward.
