Random News from UTP

Greetings from gud ol' UTP!!! Ya...i'm back in UTP for a week. Practising for a performance on the 6th of Dec in KLCC. Was told it would be a grand event as it is an international level thingy. Having a break this morning as the final year students all have interiews to atend. So we juniors have a break!!!

Staying here made me realise how very very boring UTP life can be without my friends and my laptop. Kinda regret not bringing my laptop with me. Using Elvina's right now. Ya...it's quite quiet here without the gay laughter of good friends and the happy chatters. Really prefer the "pasar malam" environment to the one I'm having right now..."peace and quiet". ;p

Anyway...gonna bore you with all I've done since I've arrived here on wednesday afternoon. Went to Ipoh on the night itself. Jack needed to pass something to his aunt. But didn't get to do it after all...dat's why he and elvina have gone to Ipoh again today. We stopped by at Menglembu to have Bak Kut Teh. Btw, the honey chicken in Menglembu is really yummy!!! yeah...if you've never tried it before...you shud!!!

Went to JJ in Ipoh to catch a movie. Wanted to watch Happy Feet with Soon Yen n Debbie...but only the front seats were vacant. And so...we all ended up watching a Chinese movie...the title was "Behind the Wits" if I'm not mistaken. It was all about the war...cud quite understand the mandarin though... But the subtitles did help a lot. Slept halfway thru the movie. And the next thing I knew, Debbie...or was it Soon Yen? Well, someone woke me up. The movie was over! Everyone was already leaving the hall. What a waste!!! And I slept thru all the shootings and bombings. Guess if there was a real war, I would sleep thru it as well. ;P Oh ya...forgot to mention that Jack and Soon Yen played snooker like real experts! They played like those people you see in movies. Me and Elvina got bored watching them after a while and went window shopping instead to pass the time before the movie started.

And another hot news...a sad one...a senior in UTP passed away on Wednesday morning. Kinda like a shock to us UTPians. It was an Indian guy, Shankar. Eventhough I don't know him, but I do feel sorry for his family. He's a final year student. Just graduated...I guess. Died of Leukimia. And the worst thing is he just found out he had the disease like this mid sem break? That was just 8 weeks ago!!! Didn't even have enough time to say goodbye to everyone I guess. Kinda sad...kelian~ Shows that you never know the time for you to go....huh?

Okay...enough of the sad news. Practice started yesterday afternoon. Actually was supposed to start yesterday morning. But for some reason unknown to us, it was cancelled. And we weren't inform!!! Elvina, Ena and myself had already started walking to block B when Tracy sent an sms saying practice was cancelled. Thank God we were only halfway!!! Ended up having a morning walk instead. Watched a series, "One Tree Hill" on Elvina's laptop. Went jogging after practice with Yin Yin, Joey, Elvina, Jack and Tuck Fai. Was great fun.

There..that's all the update for now. The last thing I did was to practise my violin. Fished out my old music scores and enjoyed myself playing my favourite pieces of Vanessa Mae...Contradanza and Storm. And now my fingertips hurt!!! Shows how long it has been since I last practised.

Okay...that's all for now. And here's Diane Teng signing off. Tata.....
