Fun Facts about ICOM

1 ) It's probably the only college around , that still uses blackboard and chalk when they teach !

2) They dont have their own canteen .. we only have a 'high-class cafeteria' outside our college .. which is a MAMAK .

3) McD is just right beside the college , so we pretty much hang about there . so please dont ask me to join you all for McD anymore .

4) There's a 'zoo' behind it which is yet to be explored by me .

5) we mostly travel by the means of an elevator .. i'll try to explain to you guys smwhere in the future.

6) ICOM has no parking lots .

7) It has wi-fi on every level .

8) it has probably the best teachers around for music . in SEA at least .

9) It probably has the best sound lab around for learning means.

10 ) i will let you know more when i get to know more about it .. =)

The ICOM e-learning experience

okay . i dunno where to start .

perhaps i should start from day 1 ?

Orientation day 1 (6th, mon )

early that morning, i was all agitated and excited .
not to mention nervous cos i DO have to sit for some tests and the dreaded audition .

but well .. as you know me, i am a friendly person and have immediately made friends with a few of the ppl there . haha .

the tests .. were easy .
english placement .. it was something like 2 comprehensions and 1 essay . i wrote an essay on the importance of English . crapped a lot . cos i have not been writing for over 6 months. i just hope it didnt get rusty .

theory placement test. even little kids can do . lol . okay , not really little kids la .. i mean ..
the first question was anyway .. asking us to draw treble and bass clefs . haha .

and the audition . i've only decided what to play when i sat on the piano right IN the audition room . awesome right ? lol . i love the two who auditioned me . they were some really easy going judge ..


and friends. ICOM is an interesting place. you get to know ppl of all races , all places .
for instance , i have two friends from Jakarta .. 2 from Sarawak .. 1 from Mauritius .. some others from Pahang , Penang , Johor .. so far , no ang mohs yet . sighs . hahah .

Day 2 .
Day 2 was basically some introduction and briefing to the college . but seriously , ICOM is one of the very serious college around . really can tell . and they can maintain the discipline cos the college is really freaking small . you bump into lecturers and admins everywhere you go . and i feel that the place is crowded even before classes really starts . that's about 30 students . imagine 200 ?? gah .. gonna die out of lack of O2.

Day 3
which is today! lol .
today was awweesome !
i got to know i was placed into term 2 ! i dun have to pay that bloody 10k ! and i saved another 5k by using my old laptop . hahaha ! so i am really really really happy today !
and i made some connection with the staff there . =)

so far , there're no pictures yet .

but i just wanna let you all know that i am BLOODY HAPPY in my college ! for now anyway . =)

and .. there are some quite good looking dudes .. haha .
i have to keep reminding myself college is a place to study . not to have fun .

busy

I meant to update . really . but it's been a few hectic days .

1) no more maid . so i'm pretty much the 'kakak' around ? thank God mum and sis help out . i wanna conk out even WITH their help . imagine if i go solo ..

2) ICOM audition thing . driving me nuts .

God .. please help me ! lol .

stay tuned . =)

flustered

bummer .. i'm like freaking nervous now . why ? because of the so unexpected registration week ..
i though i only have to go in , drop my money and ciao .

but NO ! we still have audition . imagine playing in front of so many ppl .. and they are ALL pros .

gah .. im excited and nervous all at the same time .

argh .. dunno what im feeling now !

i have a million things on my mind now .

can i continue to use my laptop ? if not , where do i dump this one ? and no , i wouldnt really dump it . why is it only macbook but not macbook Pro ? if it's with a Pro word , then i wouldnt needa get another one . crappz .. which cost God-knows how much .

my time ..! all messed up now .

how am i supposed to go to college ? drive ? but the skills are not good enough!

and i used to have u guys with me .. sobs . wherever we go .. i would at least have ONe with me .

Aku Bukan Untukmu - Rossa

i found this song by accident ..
someone .. sing it to me !! lol

Dahulu kau mencintaiku
Dahulu kau menginginkanku
Meskipun tak pernah ada jawabku
Tak berniat kau tinggalkan aku

Sekarang kau pergi menjauh
Sekarang kau tinggalkan aku
Disaat ku mulai mengharapkanmu
Dan kumohon maafkan aku

Aku menyesal tlah membuatmu menangis
Dan biarkan memilih yang lain
Tapi jangan pernah kau dustai takdirmu
Pasti itu terbaik untukmu

Janganlah lagi kau mengingatku kembali
Aku bukanlah untukmu
Meski ku memohon dan meminta hatimu
Jangan pernah tinggalkan dirinya
Untuk diriku

Tuesday

on tuesday after my piano class, i went to sunway with my cousin . for skating .

i was 2 hours earlier ... or should i say she was 2 hours late ? lol . that was when i bought the book - invitation only .

anyway .. i was a patient fella .

and sunway definitely has more good-looking dudes ..
so i didnt complain too much .

and i knew the reason she was late.

i waited at this place where there's this grand piano and there were a pianist there .
i started analysing every single thing she plays ..
and my brows kept furrowing .. it was like.. she was hammering every single note .
not to say that i am very good , just that . well .. it's my thing la . i start to literally listen to song . not just hearing . so that's what happens when you listen too much .

anyway .. here're a few pic . due to the 'lackness' of my camera ,
i cant camwhore much . lol . and i had 2 humungous pimple on my face , so not a good time to camwhore . lol .


told you it's shaky . but yea , kyun and cleng.


with the ice rink


i am getting fatter ! shit .

p/s : i want a camera ! good one . and convenient . =)

gtg .. if not my sis will be waiting solemnly at her school gate .

ciao
