Baby Came To Visit (again) =)

Baby came to visit :)

(That is not my handwriting by the way...*cough* *cough*)

He watched me study for my molecular genetics mid-term...
(Yes, T_T stupid mid term when my baby is around T_T)

He watched me complete my lab reports...

He followed me to class...
Had an exam on Saturday. (stupid lecturer)

We went shopping =)

Then,
on Monday...

I drove him to the airport and watched him leave..

I miss you :(

Family day at Tanjung Aru about 2 weeks back.
Yeah, I don't know what happened either, the photographer was more interested in the grass instead of us.

What's the fun of going to the beach if you don't get wet? :P
6 dripping girls = picture!

Been frequenting the laboratories a lot lately.
Don't ask.

Future biotechnologist?
It's just simple streaking actually.

Yukata fitting session last week.
Bee Bee and me.

I don't know why they put the umbrella next to everyone sitting down.

Ja ne! :P

Stupid Girl

Dear lonely isle,

Sometimes I just feel so tired.
Tired of everything.
It's only the beginning of the semester, but already I'm so tired.

I'm in trouble, aren't I?

Maybe it's the weather here, or the food. Maybe it's something in the air, the hazy breeze of emotional lethargicity.

Maybe it's just because I'm here.

Sometimes I just push myself so hard or torture myself, so that I'd have something to suffer about. Something to be miserable about.
Because I shouldn't be this miserable. I shouldn't feel like I'm suffering.

There's nothing suffering here.

Not the food. Or the studies. Or the living conditions.
Not the people. Or the weather. Or the god damned everything else.

Yeah, you realise it too.

Let's just keep it between us okay?

Thanks.

love, joyce.

Take me home.

Disenchanted

I was there on the day
they sold the cause for the queen
and when the lights all went out
we watched our lives on the screen
I hate the ending myself
but it started with an alright scene

it was the roar of the crowd
that gave me heartache to sing
it was a lie when they smiled
and said "You won't feel a thing"
and as we ran from the cops
we laughed so hard it would sting

if I'm so wrong
how can you listen all night long?
and will it matter after I'm gone?
because you never learned a god damned thing

you're just a sad song
with nothing to say
about a life long wait at a hospital stay
well if you think that I'm wrong
this never meant nothing to you

I spent my high school career
spit on and shoved to agree
so I could watch all my heroes
sell a car on TV
bring out the old guillotine
we'll show 'em what we all mean

if I'm so wrong
how can you listen all night long?
now will it matter after I'm gone
because you never learned a god damned thing

you're just a sad song
with nothing to say
about a life long wait at a hospital stay
well if you think that I'm wrong
this never meant nothing to you

My House

This is the front of the house.
Yes, yes, will take a better picture of it next time. Just felt embarrassed to be standing in front of the house on the street taking a picture. >.<

The living room!
A bit messy, but kind of cozy once you settle down. We have Astro, you know? :)

The kitchen.
Haven't ventured into cooking there yet, except maggi and boiling water.

More kitchen.
We have a refrigerator, I just haven't put anything of mine inside yet =P
The landlady is a lecturer at UMS. She's a lecturer in the food science faculty. We can't simply eat her stuff in the refrigerator, some are her lab specimens >.<

Dr Yasmin's (the landlady) study.

Dr. Yasmin's room.
I have not been inside before >.<

The upstairs bathroom I share with my housemates.

I invite you to carefully observe that that is a sitting toilet :D

My room, my bed.

My study desk, with the towel rack behind it and my bed behind the rack.

My roomie's study desk, next to mine. With a window view.
Overlooks papaya trees. Not my cup of tea.

Roomie's bed, with the bookshelf in front of it.

My cupboard.
Roomie doesn't have a cupboard yet. She's living out of her luggage.

Bedmates.

Settling in already.

The Dawn Of a New Semester

Dear lonely isle,

Okay, so the problem with my minor was fixed by changing minors. Pretty unimpressive, eh?
>.<

So, what's new in Sabah?

Hmm, moved into a new place, no longer staying in the hostel, which can only mean 2 things:
1. No more hills.
2. No more sucky hostel food :D

Next up, new room mate. Chinese girl, 3rd year senior. We call her Kim.
Will upload pictures in the next post =)
First I gotta take the pictures.

Got myself a landlady, 3 housemates and 5 cats.
I've only seen 2 of them so far. And already I can't stand em.
They wouldn't let me eat in peace, what with jumping on the table and onto my lap when I'm in the chair.
And I was talking about the cats.

Sitting toilet in the bathroom :D

There's internet :D
Which is available either 4 houses away through the JAKMAS (stands for something, I don't know what) wireless, or broadband 2 rows away courtesy of my good friend Tiing Jen. The girl is a blessing.

What else?

Can't think of anything at the moment.

love, joyce.

What I Did On My Holidays

All the people I miss.

Went Singapore.

Met up with Shima.

Curled my hair.

Played with Ichigo.

Did a puzzle with Ziggy.

I miss you.

Not My Day

Dear lonely isle,

Sorry for the overly long absence. I don't have internet. Not at home, not in my hostel.

I do now though.

Yeah. It's so not my day.
Got wiped all over the wall and doors into the hall today. Big crowd. All pushing. Broke my file. Messed up my hair. Bruised and aching.
No, it's not war. It's registration day.

Then there's the problem with my minor clashing with my maths class.

But that's okay.

Guess what? NUS accepted me. But they didn't approve my loan.

Yeah. I know. Writing to rant and vent and be angry and frustrated and cry.

But I can't squeeze out a tear. Or even feel the teensiest bit mad.

Just feeling really down.
Really really down.

love, joyce.

MAGRA

Dear lonely isle,

Went for an event sometime 2...no 3 weeks back >.<
Yeah, internet is hard to come by these days >.< and still in the middle of my sucky finals T_T
Anyway, MAGRA - Malam Anugerah SST. Faculty award giving night.
Which they forced award receivers to go, including yours truly (T_T) by threatening not to give us what we had worked for.
Yup, i paid rm40 to collect my cert and plaque.
Yes, I know, feels like i bought the damn things back.

The best part was, didn't even get to go onstage to receive the prize >.<
Oh why? I went to toilet..
Never went for an even that sped so fast I didn't have time to even go toilet, the dishes were coming out so fast, seems like the waiter is throwing them at us. (it was held at Karambunai Nexus Resort, beautiful place)
So when I finally had a break between the last dish and dessert, what else? Run for the toilet.
But then, as I was leaving, found out a little girl locked herself in a stall and couldn't unlock it >.<
And she spoke Czech. Yeah. Try talking to someone who speaks Czech, is about 4 years old, and about to burst into tears >.<
she had this hot dad who couldn't wait outside anymore and decided to come rescue her =P yup he was hot.
So after everything, naturally when I got back, my turn was already over T_T my name was one of the first few to be called T_T

love, joyce.

PS: FINALS SUCK T_T

What they gave me for being on the Dean's List

Feel very cheated >.<

Microbiology Lab

Dear lonely isle,

I forgot to put all my other pictures into the pen drive.....

L to R: Me, Jaclyn, Bella, Tiing Jen

Me & Tiing Jen

Bella's camera is a little distorted somehow, so my forehead looks wider >.<

Baby Came To Visit ^.^

I are blissful :)

After Arab Class

Dear lonely isle,

Erm. I fell down >.< while climbing UP the bus this time...

The Aftermath

Yeah, I'll be more careful. Promise. >.<

love, joyce.

Starbucks exists in Sabah. I have proof. ^.^

Shima and I on our day out :)

Small, Miserable Girl

"..It's so very cold outside,

like the way I'm feeling inside.."

Dear lonely isle,

Feeling very miserable now. Doesn't help that the weather has been pouring these days.
It's always cold, like how I'm feeling inside now.
Why did I ever choose to come here?
The internet connection is really bad. I can access most pages but I can't access any email sites. What kind of sick joke is this? First I can't correspond with him through sms, now you even take away my email?
I can't use MSN. Fine I can live with that, but email?
And the Maxis line here is so bad it's infuriating.
Feeling very emotionally messed up these days. Can't seem to get my heart straight. Always sad, and at the brink of bursting into tears.
Getting more and more useless. Can't even type out a decent post.
Sorry.

love, joyce.

From My Window

The mosque in the distance. Hazy sky. But much better compared to peninsular.

Kolej AB in the distance. The nearest building is the canteen.

Raoul, Raoul3 and Raoul2. happy happy ^.^

Pesta Tanglung

Pigging out on mooncakes ^.^

Shima, me and Umi. Yea, it's the same Shima as the one in the cosplay. Forgive the blurness, Jordan boy's hands tend to shake. Nah, it's not cos of Parkinsons. Thanks for asking anyway.

Jordan boy with two lanterns.

Evening sky in UMS.

Ignore the speck. That's from the library window >.<

I don't know why, but clouds in UMS seems more beautiful then those I see back at home. Can't help looking at the sky every now and then.

My friend Shima :) in cosplay mode. Yea she cosplays. She's cosplaying the girl from Death Note, can never remember her name.

Exams and Ankles

Dear lonely isle,

Hmm, lets see, been some time since the last post, what happened. Ah yes, assignments assignments and mid terms again.
Had Earth and Planetary Science mid term yesterday. As good as dead. A really interesting topic until you have to study it. Then you really gotta pity geology students. They actually chose to study this??? Rocks, rocks, damn great bloody ROCKS. Whole syllabus is on GREAT BLOODY ROCKS. *cough*
It's really full of rocks. And things that really have nothing much to do with what I'm doing.
Today had my biotech mid term. Essays on transcription, translation, replication of DNA, mutation and history of biotechnology. Naturally not fun. But much nicer to study for than GREAT BLOODY ROCKS >.<
Okay now you know why I'm not taking geology. Hmm, should the show Lusa (aka The Day After Tomorrow) and The Core come true, we'll be relying on these people who spend almost all their time looking at ROCKS.
Saw the short lines about a woman in Cheng Choo's blog that day, made me smile. Thought it was really good, just so happens a friend of mine here having problems with her jerk of a boyfriend (make that the asshole too). He probably does believe women should be loved too, ALL women. Pretty ones. By him. With possibly makeup covered faces. Some guys are weird.
Well, I fell down the bus some time last week. Had fever, sore throat, cold and cough too. >.<>
Thought it was better already after it stopped hurting. Then this past Tuesday night as I was chasing the night bus after Arab class, somehow hurt it again. Okay, okay I get it I'm clumsy..
Anyway, seems to be swollen now. Everyone keeps asking me to massage it, but I have no idea how. Bee Siah and Mei Kuan says I can't let it get water, that I should bathe with a plastic bag over my foot >.<
Joyce goes "..uh.."
Sigh, any other suggestions? Don't really wanna go and see the doctor, because that would involve MORE WALKING. no bus service to the clinic. quite idiotic really. Sick students have to what, crawl there? Anyway, it hurts when I walk so don't wanna consider that first kay?
Other than that, this week coming up is another test on Tuesday and a pile of lab reports to complete, with another on the way T_T

Reports, reports, GREAT BLOODY REPORTS. I actually chose to do this???

love, joyce.
