Nope, i still dont have a title for this

Why did the first koala fell off the tree?
Because he stepped on the branch

Why did the second koala fell off the tree?
Because the 3rd koala pushed him off the tree

Why did the 3rd koala fell off the tree?
Peer pressure

See, thanks to the 'popular' demand of requesting me to update my blog, i'll have to unlock my darkest mindset to reveal my thoughts again =P
I call tht peer pressure!!!

Actually i aint have much to blog bout. So lets go ahead with this method, which is... i'll blog out whatever comes to my mind k? So most probably its gonna be out of sequence, logic and even emotion. hehe. Lets go!

Oh yeah, i was having this terrible fever + throat infection last week. It friggin lasted bout 5 days. If i recall back, this shud be the trigger of my sickness. Started off with a mild sore throat on monday. Then Tuesday was like the most hardcore timetable of my entire 1st sem.

8-10am: Maths
2-4pm: Macroeconomics
5-7pm: Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia
8-10pm: Replacement class for maths, since she canceled class few weeks ago

Almost died at the end of my maths class. Went back to my room, settle down and took my shower. 2 mins after i lay down on my bed, came this sms from my senior asking me to go for meeting in 5 mins time.

So this is the deal, my kolej(a.k.a. hostel) wanted to revive back the tradition of having a kolej nite(once again its only among chinese community). A week after the proposal, it changed to Pesta Tanglung. I dun really see the difference as they still charge us RM30, compulsory for first year and still doesnt get any support from anyone.
Anyway, they asked me to become the MC for the event. When they first asked me bout it, i was quite doubtful as they were insisting i give them an answer on the spot. Still, i insisted to be given some time to think bout it. Eventually i agreed on as i thought its just a very short event and there wont be much complication.

ANYWAY, the meeting on tuesday nite lasted till around 2-3am. Oh yeah, did i tell you that the PT(pesta tanglung) is on friday the week itself? And on the tuesday nite they are still finalising stuffs like games and programme. So we were working out on the script till that late. Yeah, my partner was another gal. So thank god the workload was lessen up. cant imagine the horror of needed to edit everything and MC it out all by myself.

Was feeling so restless even by 12am. And there the seniors still yapping and undecided bout alot of stuffs which greatly delayed our editing work of the script.
All done, and they still want us to write out another 'cleaner' copy to be shown to our 'more senior' senior. Hmm, does that phrase make sense? More senior senior. Oh well.

Without hesitation, i just rush back to room and drop dead on my bed. And by next morning, i woke up early just to write out the script again. Its wed morning and i wasnt feeling well at all by that time. And yet i still have to rush the script and attend the KPTS meeting.

Alrite? all done? then home i shall be back.
Crap. I'm feeling all chilly while takin my nap. Aint a good sign at all. When i woke up, the worst of my sickness were there.
Went to see the doc, my fever went up to 39.2. And he said the infection on my throat was really severe.

"Are u still studyin or working?"

"I'm still studyin in uni"

"Coz the antibiotics i'm giving you will be quite costly. So if ur working you might be able to claim for the bill. Its alrite, i'll charge you for a student price"

"Ok" (i dont really have a choice do i?)

So when i collected the medication and bill, they charged me for 65 bucks.
WTF???

Heck with it, i'm feeling like a zombie whose been shot dead again. That nite itself, i was feeling cold on the outside and burning hot inside my body.
But finally some well deserved rest for 2 days.

Was still havin this inner-debate within myself whether shud i do the emcee job for the PT. Since non of the seniors said a thing bout it despite the fact that i did informed that i was in a bad shape. No backup plans or whatsoever. So i just go on with it, figuring things might get ugly if i didnt turn up and they didnt have a backup mc for my place.

I planned to get back to uni bout 3-4pm. Then i received a sms from my partner, sayin that the senior insisted me to be back exactly 3pm to do somesort of rehearsal or whatever it is. Fine, i just rushed thru everything and rushed back to uni.

Another sms came, said to wait till the senior msg us and we'll go meet him.

The sms came only at 5pm.
Honestly, i think anyone would be quite pissed at that.

Wait, there's more. He took our written out scripts and threw it away. Told us to follow back 'his' plans and the new programme outline. He sorta say it out word by word, we jot it down...then asked us to type and print it out b4 the event. Its already 6pm!
Gawd.
All our work for nothin.

So the event went on. It was one of the worse ever. Imagine our pengetua(head of kolej also as our vip for the nite) arrived on time and to see everyone still rushing everywhere to get the last minute preparation done.

Then came the official part, where he's escorted by a few more seniors to his vip seat. As soon as he's approaching to his seat. The line of hanging tanglungs (as decoration and placed all the way back) fell down and all the tanglungs started burning. Wow, now thats a good opening.

Followed by our opening speech, then we presented the pengetua for his speech slot. AGAIN, as soon as he bout to speak, the PA system failed. The all microphones not responding or work as its suppose to work. He was standing there while a few guys busy fixing it for like 5 mins. It was a friggin awkward moment for 5 mins.

Well said, the rest of the event was alrite i suppose (the formal part of the event aint have much actually). Probably the speech is the only formal part of the event *yawn*
Where are all the performances?
Beats me. No idea

After all the bbq feast(nah, i didnt eat those. If i were to, i will die on the spot without a second to say a word) was the so-called informal part of the PT. That includes song dedication, song guessing, riddle guessing which was hung beneath the tanglung. Cant quite remember what we did, but it lasted from mid nite till 4am.

No doubt i went home the next morning, still i'm not entirely well yet. Fever still on and off.
Alright, its bout time i pay the doc the second visit.
He gave me a different type of antibiotics. Saying it should work (thats what he said the first time) and if not I will need a jab.

And the bill for this time?


*Drums rolling*


35 bucks!
Friggin ripped off. And yeah, it works well. Was completely cured by the 2nd day after on the new medication.

Moral of the story: ( i dont really have 1, but i felt darn cheated for tht entire week)
