One step closer to manhood for the viking @ 10:48 PM

all in one

the chinese have a character for crisis. it's made up of 2 words, danger n opportunity.

heck, what does this have to do with my blog post?
ans: proves tt my sarcasm still exists. proves tt i'm NOT dead yet.

all hail eric's blog! thou shall revive thyself!!! =.="

okok its gonna be really REALLY super shit long soo jus skim through if you have to.

F1 - Start of the Season
NTV7 will be takin over crappy rtm this yr!! and its gonna be 5 races live telecast, and the rest.. delayed. but still quali will be showed. HALLELUJAH!! purchasing a tv tuner card wasnt a mistake after all :)

ok maybe in a sense.. watchin the ugly cars tis yr.. and a mercedes in front! oh wait a sec, its brawn gp, not mclaren! huhuhu. former champ lewis hamilton will start in 15th. ferrari 9th and 10th.. man the stupid rules have jumbled up the grid order. are we set for a nightmarish start to the 09 season?

About my Course..
they say CIMP (Canadian Pre-U) is for the not-so-good students.. they say CIMP is fun.. well they are wrong! half wrong.

on the 1st day, i had to sit for an english placement test! cinaman wud be placed in OSL (dunno wot tt stands for), those OKOK punya in ENG4C and the crem de la cream (how do u spell it?) put in ENG4U.

in my course, maths in data management (MDM) and english (ENG4U, ENG4C, OSL..) are compulsory subjects.. and those are the 2 i will be takin this semester. (ends in late may)

sooo one might ask... how am i coping? well.. thank God i got placed in ENG4U. but hey, when much is given, much is also required. imagine this: studyin stupid short story literature in detail (eg: cat in the rain) and then discussin it in class, whereby u are thrown with thought provokin ques and forced to voice out ur opinion (70% assessment based on coursework, hw, quizzes, performance in class..). english has nvr been THIS hard before :S to add fuel to the fire, every1 in my class is as good if not even more profound gila at eng than me. o.0

then there's MDM. ok so it aint too hard, histogram, organising statistics, data... tis tt. mostly high skool stuff :) oh and we are forced to buy tis graphing calc (new 1 cost rm450 but 2nd hand cost rm300 or so..) . good news is.. u can install games in THE calc! wicked sick!

More about my Course..
we PIMPs.. i mean CIMPs are supposed to be lyk the most active pre-u students among the rest. so we have tis upcoming paintball outing which i'm participating in,. heh then there's theme day every thurs. tt day was canada. i wore me arsenal shirt wit red wristband, and white underwear. of course no1 noticed the last 1 la =.=

Kawan
we "marchies" accordin to our seniors are a sheepish bunch. and so it was hard. but now the barrier has pretty much been thinned down :) i have a "gang" now. me, eugene, jack and mark. oh and the ppl in our class are real jokers! sadly, most of them (not my gang) smoke.. and use profanities. oh i shudnt exclude charlotte. she's taller than me! (omg) standin at a height of 180cm, she mmm.. ehh i dont know her well cant say much =D

Hostel Life
the internet is worst than a snail travellin at the speed of 56k. only msn can be used. :( but thank God once again i have good housemates. 3 africans, 2 sarawakians. and though i'm in twin sharing, i've yet to hv a roomie! soo its been the whole place to myself. hehehe. minus parents. but plus the responsibility of laundry, ironing, makan...... zzz.... will upload pics when i get a DECENT connection.

Christian Fellowship
on the first day, there was a quiz. luckily enough, when it came to my turn, i got tis ques.. "where was Jesus born?" =.=" and my teammate got tis ques.. "name me the 1st and last book of the bible" .. yea he got it rite.. genesis and revelation.. then the opposing team shouted.. "contents leh?" =.="

Exocam
imagine this: downloadin the whole of heroes s3 in 15m and a movie in 5m. impossible? NOT. exocam is this file sharing prog, lyk limewire, tt connects all monash condo users together wit 1 hub. tis means, file transfer is done through LAN. hence, the lightning speed :D
i now have heroes s3, dilbert s1 and 2, all james bond movies, amazing race..... u name it. hehehe

Finally for today..
parents came up from jb today. i think they miss me. haha. eric, OF COURSE THEY DO. =.= and so we went to the curve. i had new zealand ice cream! 6.90 per scoop man. siaaal itu charlotte influenced me into givin in to temptation.. haha DONT GET THE WRONG IDEA. and so choc ecstasy had me wanting more. the remnants were cleared. was usin me laptop there when the cashier guy came.. askk wot u wanna order.. i say tak mau apa2. then he said u hafta order sumtin to sit here.. i was lyk... well u wudnt wanna know ;)

Life in KL
slowly but surely, i'm adapting. every1 here speaks english. urban parts la i mean. its not uncommon even to see malays speak english here. haha. plenty of jam though. ppl here are more civilised. they dun cut lanes. at the curve, tis unicef hot chick promoter commented on my shirt as i passed by.. hah well, everytin here is much more advanced in a way. feel so ketinggalan when i tink of my hometown.. huhu.

blood sucker! T_T

I had my blood test done today to determine by blood type at PathLab (near omega).

What I had in mind was gettin my finger pricked and losing only a few drops of blood. Even on the way there my 10 fingers literally "kept pointing fingers at each other" on who's gonna be the unlucky one....

Sadly, they were spared. The evil canival nurse had in her hand this scary lookin syringe.
Eric: Aren't you like only gonna prick my finger?
Nurse: Nope. This is the "new way" of drawing blood (with syringe in hand)
Eric: Ohhh... errrr... I'm left handed
Nurse: Don't worry, this won't affect.....
She took like 15 agonising seconds just to do it. Man, just the thought of it makes me feel like fainting. Heck, I was yelling in pain silently in my heart.

And then it was over... NOT EXACTLY. Vision became blurry in the car, trauma got the better of me. Man did she inject me with poison? Ahh.. i was sweating all over, semi-conscious... but glad i snapped out of it after a while. Reminded me of the time in the hospital. Oh well, Eric is afraid of needles. :'(

Before I had my 40 winks, i remember tellin myself..

"THOSE BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRES!!!"

come to think of it, those working there could be related to those freaks in the movie Twilight. Ahhh........

Btw, note to all potential gf's: my blood group is B and I'm Rh+. =.="

oh and this appeared in their toilet..

SPM Post Mortem "B"nalysis

Q: what is B?
A: B is the second letter of the alphabet.
Today, B means something else to me. B stands for Blot in my copybook.

Why?

I got a B3 for SPM Bahasa Melayu. T_T

*cries*
*cries more*

My advice to you is this:
Quickly build an ark before my tears flood the world. :'(
Neyyy ok enough wit tis melodrama crap.

7 A1'S, 2 A2'S and 1 B3 and an A1 for GCE-O English.
i tink 9A'S for SPM sounds nicer! :D
anyway yea, thank God! it cud hv been much worse. much much worse! ^^. *
*or much much better...
SHUT UP ERIC.

lol okok. enough with me ranting. i tried my best given the circumstances and it's over :)
time to close this chapter of my life and open a new one with college and a whole new setting up north around the corner. ^^

and also time to kiss BM and science subjects like Chemistry and Biology goodbye! hehe.

**The writer would like to thank fellow readers, friends, family, cats, dogs and all forms of life for wishing him luck in SPM as well as the support and concern given. Thank you guys!! :)

Btw, i now think B stands for count your Blessings from above (=
