* Insert Car Wash song, by Christina Aguilera feat Missy Elliott *

The date was 6th September 2009. It was a historical day. I went on a car wash under the CUS club at the Immaculate Conception church that day. The car wash was to raise fund for the CUS activities, especially the upcoming ICG camp. I woke up as early as 4.45 am because I was to check attendance for the members who will wait at the Sungai Dua station. My Gosh, it was damn cold showering early in the morning. I used to shower at 6 am and also around 5.3o am something but to shower at 4 something in the morning was like the champion of coldness. Thank God there were not many hostel mates who witnessed me shivering like crazy. Fuh~! I arrived at the Sungai Dua pondok as early as 6.15 am, and of course I was the first to be there. Then, there were only 5 people who turned up at the Sungai Dua station, because majority of the CUS members who participated in this car wash waited at the RST gate.

Around 7.30 am, we arrived at the Immaculate Conception church. The church was a beautiful church and it was quite a shame I never attended a Mass there. I usually went to the Our Lady of Sorrows (OLS) church, because it was the nearest church to USM.

Cheng Yee, Arthur, Marcela and me were responsible to lure the parishioners who attended the Mass to let us wash their cars. We were divided into groups, and my group only consist of four people, namely Clevellen, Eduard, Veraneeta and me. I was in a dilemma situation as I wanted to promise the customers that we would give them a good wash as I was aware that their expectations are high, as most of them were from wealthy background. It was a far different scenario compared to the parishioners at OLS church because most of us at OLS church came by buses instead of our own transportations. But thank God there were some of them who let us wash their cars merely for the donation purpose. Some even gave donation without us needing to wash their cars. The priest was the generous of all as he gave our club RM50 just to wash one car, and then he was the one who gave us permission to have a car wash activity going on there. ;) Thank you, Father!

We had a fun time washing the cars though tiring. Well, maybe I wasn't that tired compared to the others as I didn't really wash the cars because I had to search for customers. I was quite nervous because we were running out of time to finish washing the cars that time, but thank God some of the customers were not in a hurry to go back, so we had enough time to finish washing their cars. Phew~!

The scenario of the car washers, busy cleaning up the washing tools after finishing the activity.

Eduard @ Diva and Siaw Yan were posing as I took their pictures. Anyone interested to let them model your products in the future? ;)

Our happy faces after finishing the car wash. What an achievement. Hooray~!

We raised quite a lot of money for this car wash. Hopefully, there will be less financial worries for the ICG camp. ;)

On another note, I just wanted to mention about the fun night out every week with my sister and seniors after the Sunset Mass. I did not take this for granted though we do it quite often. Every moment spent together was to be treasured as I am aware that the next semester, we might not go to church together again as they would be involved in teaching practicals.

So, I immortalized this fun moment we had together last week here.

I'm soooo gonna miss you all the next semester!!!!! (*=*)

The Day That I Was Wishing For?

Actually, Tuesday was the day where my schedule was packed.

But not today...

Today, I finished my last assignment for this semester.. (oh victory~)

And today, there was no lecture, no tutorial, just LSP401 class.

And it was the last LSP class, by the way.

I sensed that my LSP teacher's eyes was quite watery or was it my imagination?

Because I think I am oversensitive sometimes.

Thinking too much and reading too much into someone's facial expression.

If it was not my imagination, then she was good in camouflaging her emotion cause she kind of tried to cheer up by mentioning something funny.

I guess she's gonna miss us like we are certainly gonna miss her..

She asked us to keep in touch, and acknowledge that me and another student named Avinesh can consult her in the future to ask about our next English paper we are going to take.

Well, I was thinking about taking Creative Writing, just like my sister, cause I like writing fiction compared to non-fiction. Ah, I wish, if I need not to repeat this paper, lah..

At the end of the LSP class today, my classmate, Hafizah, took out the wrapped gift and card that the whole class bought for our LSP teacher, Puan Kanchana Devi.

Aww~

And Puan Kanchana was surprised, and yet, she could make jokes about the word "Tq" inside the card we wrote for her. I told you, she was a sporting teacher, and with a lots of sense of humour too. I wish if I am going to take my next English paper, I can be taught by her, or at least, someone like her.

Oh, was it the day that I was wishing for?

A day without lecture? (of course I wish for this day!)

A day with the last class? (Err? Unsure? Depend on the class, I guess..)

A day where the last assignment was accomplished? (definitely, I wish for this day)

So, today was the day I was wishing for.. There may be farewell, but at least, we had immortalised the sweet memories inside our brain.

As Puan Kanchana said, we have to fly, and not repeat this paper and be confined in USM cage.
We have to see the world. Maybe we like university life, but there's more to life than just being comfortable, or being safe at your comfort zone. Yup, I agree completely..

Ok, so bubbye.. Gonna fly to my dreamland now.. ;)

Tonight's The Nite!!

Well, I'm not talking about the Earth Hour Night, but

Ta-daa!!

Masquerade Night!!

So, obviously, I could not participate in the Earth Hour Night because I am going to attend a Masquerade party tonight (CUS club farewell party) and who turned off electricity during a party, right? But the positive thing is, I am participating in this Earth Hour indirectly because when I go to the party, that automatically means I am switching off the lights in my hostel... ;)
Which means I am not violating the Earth Hour Night too, right?
Bijak, kan.. No compromise here.. ;)

If I don't go to the party, well, the lights at the party's location will still be turned on whether I'm there or not, so better be there than be at my hostel where the lights will be switched off automatically by the university's administration from 9 pm to 10 pm.

Besides, I am the one who always switched off my lights when sleeping, even when my room mate's not here. Though sometimes I am scared of the dark, I switched off the lights too. See how much I am pro in switching off the lights?? I switched the lights off more than one hour if you wana accumulate them, so don't see me as a criminal for attending a party tonight.
(Wana feel less guilty for not participating directly in the earth's hour)

Okay, so happy switching off the lights to you guys and happy masquerade night to me..
;)

Something Worthy from WUS!!

Actually my main purpose of visiting the WUS Ekspo Jualan was to support a close friend of mine, Lee Ying, because she was opening her WUS stall today. For those who is clueless about what WUS is, actually WUS is a course to educate the students to become the future entrepreneurs.
So, students were exposed to entrepreneurship and were asked to sell something on Expo day,
with one condition, where they were not allowed to sell food or drinks.

Well, after finishing my LSP class, I went to take a look around the WUS expo court with my friend, Pei Lee, and we could not find where Lee Ying's stall was. Then, I saw a stall which sold something I like - Second hand story books!!! (I know I am a cheapskate..)



But these are Sweet Valley Twins books!! [Plus one Dear Amanda book which kind of have interesting synopsis and it also reminded me of my best friend.. ;) ]
And how cheap are they?? RM 4 for one?? Nope, but RM 4 for four books!!
One book for RM1, and I was like, wow~

Though I don't really favour SVT books nowadays, I had a tendency of making sure I read every series in the book that I ever liked. And these series were the ones that I ever wished to read, but never had the chance and already forgot that I wished to read them. But now, as Celine Dion once sang, "It's all coming back to me now~" I wanted to buy them so much and read them after the semester exam!!

Actually, I was thinking of buying only one book, but when I saw some of titles which I did not have the chance to read when I was 13 and 14 years old, I thought, maybe, this was just the right time to compensate them.

Besides buying these teenagehood favourite story books, I bought a cool shirt there.
Purple in colour.. ;)
(Though not my favourite colour, but I think the purple shirt colour looks better than the blue one, which is my truely and madly favourite colour)

So guess how much does the shirt costs?

RM10??

Haha, nope.. But almost right..

It just costed me RM 8!!


Total them up = Just costed me RM12!!

Plus, there is no need for me to pay for the bus fare compared to shopping at the mall because this WUS expo's venue is inside my university area.

I guess I am looking forward to the WUS expo again the next sem. I wish they are going to sell something like formal shoes and attires... ;)


P.S: By the way, I wondered how much did the students earned for offering such good bargains?
