Malang Tidak Berbau

Funny how i'm using BM for my recent post titles...
Went Ampang this morning with my dad as he met with a little accident the day before. He is totally fine and the car has a little scratch. The radiator was damaged in the accident, therefore rendering the car unable to be used.

Headed down to a relatives' house at Ampang to borrow a car as we were planning to drive up to Penang for CNY.


See the scratches
First Mandarin Orange for the New Year
 
At the workshop, more like a Car Mortuary

Two little accidents were involved. First he bumped a kancil and myvi at the traffic light. The myvi in front of the kancil had a little dent and my dad just paid the myvi for the damage as he was rushing to meet a customer.

Second one happened at another traffic light, the lorry in front was slowly rolling down the slope and the driver forgotten to apply the brakes. Knocked the front of my dad's car, the radiator was damaged and so he got the car towed to a workshop.

Went to the workshop at Segambut this morning to get the car fixed.

Then i drove my relatives manual car back to Ampang.


Wasn't really used to a "joystick" as the last time i drove a manual was during my driving license examination. Was quite proud of myself : )

Foot was really sore as i had to keep pressing the clutch which was higher than the kancil i used to drive during my driving lessons. Plus the fact that i played basketball last night, my foot hurt abit but it was okay.

Car died a few times and it jerked a little while and then, but I slowly got used to it. Managed to get through the heavy traffic while following the back of my dads' car.

Tough luck for the start of a new year huh dad... May everything be smooth sailing for the upcoming year.

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, backstage people

Them Housemates

(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que
