i know my blog had been boring and colourless for the past week..
Anyway, before that, i wanna say:
i got the freak out of my life just now when i realized that my phone was not with me!!!!!!
i thought i lost it for good.
i went everywhere to search!!
ran all around campus, under the drizzle.
though the air outside was so so so cold,
i was sweating all over because i had to run around searching for my lost phone.
went everywhere i've been to today.
and freak, today i went to damn a lot of places cos i had lots of lectures.
ahhhhh~~
and after 1 hour of desperation and stress,
i managed to find my phone in the lecture hall,
under the seats of the row in front of where i sat.
wtheck!
thats the thing about this place.
its damn cold outside and very warm inside.
so when u go indoors, u undress.
when u wanna leave, u re-dress.
and that would include the heavy bulky jacket, scarf..
and the seats in the lecture halls are SO SMALL AND SQUEEZY that u have to hold EVERYTHING u own on ur laps.
and mind you, i have very small laps.
no wonder my phone will fall.
but overall its my fault for being careless..
and thank God He helped me to get it back.
else i will really cry till i die here.
everything's in my phone.
all the numbers i ever came across.
everyone's phone number, my bank codes, pin codes, whatever ever!
AAAAAHHHHHHHH~~~~
when i finally got my phone back, i almost screamed for joy!
i thanked everyone who helped me, the ppl at the counter, the girl who watched my laptop for me while i ran around.. everyone! i even called up odelia to tell her everything.
who else could i call?!
anyway, really thank God its with me now and here.
oh my precious phone!!!
i've only been here for 1 week now,
but it seems to me like 1 year.
many things havent been going very smoothly for me,
but then i know that God is with me here.
there's really no one else.
oh i'll stop talking bout that.
later i cry.
okay, here are the pics i promised.
a lot of them!! and with some videos too.. took me damn long to upload lah!
but then since i promised, i will do so =)
and thats not all the pics i took ok,
i have hundreds of them.
cant finish uploading.
haha, here's some:
Me and my mom at the airport before i left msia:
she was the only one who saw me off.
she got all emotional when she hugged me before i entered the terminal.
made me wanna cry too.

i love the view of the clouds from the plane.

oh and just now when i was frantically running around searching for my phone,
i was almost knocked down by a bus.
