Time is running short, mortal..

There are lots of things that is happening to me during the summer.. Although I love summer very much, I felt ready.. Ready to feel the hardship and the complexity of the Fall. Maybe Im too overconfident. Maybe Im too eager. Maybe I have underestimate the Fall.. The quote from the movie transformers "The Fallen shall rise again" somehow seems to bug me.

Nevertheless, I cant afford to stay here much longer.. The thought of missing class is already worrying me enough. This Fall, just myb, I am aiming to get above 3.7.. Although it might not seems like much to some, yet it is already a hardcore target for me -.-" Yes there's a lot of things in life that I began to see its importance. It might be too late for me. But even late is better than nothing.

My only regret is I wasnt able to meet my old best friend.. Naimullah (not a real name).. He was fun to be with, cunning and a romeo to girls.. (or should I say an alligator? lol).. I guess we can meet up after another 2 years -.-".. he did send a message however, stating "Friendship Never Die" and yes it kinda touch my heart a bit and I hope we will hv a chance to rendezvous sometime in the future..

Packing.. wait.. what is there to pack? FOOD.. lol.. I'm not really a good cooker myself, but I do hope that buying more perencah n stuff will help me improve :D lalala.. I was impressed by Hawa's cooking.. the taste is so rich.. Ah, tgh puasa right now, cant think of food o_O

Music

Seeing my brother, rauf so good in playing guitar n drums, I am inspired to learn to play musical instrument.. I know, at this age, it might be hard for me to learn. Aiming to buy a cool n hopefully not-to-expensive digital drum set and a acoustic guitar once I reach US (thanks for the convenience online shopping) -.-"

Planning on myb buying this. AN OSP DD-502 MKII Digital Drum Set... Is it gd? o_O

Aaah still, There's are a lot of things that needs to be done when I'm back in US like

1. Catch up with class. ( I'm already absent for 3 day of class when I reach there).
2. Catch up with Hong. (Need to discuss about psychology class n our plan to try market investment)
3.Catch up with Mior and Hasif (About house stuff, storage, unpacking, cleaning, billing)
4. Catch up with Prof Zucherman (Social Psychology research class, need contach him asap?)..
5.Catch up with Nick ( For CS issue n planning n myb yet another Fall dota tournament? lol)
6.Catch up with Marty (for CS advising - so confused coz the cs department has moved from an art and science department to the engineering department thus making some changes in the major requirement).
7.Catch up with other friends ( for life sake :D)

So much to do!! SO MANY CLAM SO LITTLE TIME!! :D

genting

Went to genting last thursday!! It was a blast!! I guess u can get a detailed story from my facebook photo album : ) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=100681&id=528328166&l=49632495ed But if there's anything I learn from that trip, it is:

1. If you're going for a one day , no sleepover, go there early!(we reach there 215pm -.-)
2. Bring load of cash! (if you think of playing a lot..) Things there are expensive... eg Rumah hantu Rm17. Snowworld rm17 but you cant bring your camera.. have to buy picture from its merchant but cost like rm15+ or so..
3. Last bus to kl central is 830pm!! But there is another bus terminal going to stesen monorail titiwangsa at 11pm.. But it was really far from the skyway o_O
4. Last ktm train is before 12am!! (ended up sleeping at kl central becoz of this)
5. A lot of the indoor ride are for family thus making it unworthy if u get urself an indoor pass.
6. I cant seem to find a swimming pool!! penat bawak baju mandi segala -.-" So I think its better not aiming for mandi there at all.. (plus the weather is a bit cold)..
7. Jangan naek go kart!! Beratur 1 jam but the go kart was as slow as hell!! haha.. hardly use break at all.. but then again, i dnt think u can affort to not playing that when ur there.. Only after u play it u'll be like "oo what a waste of time" n i wish i was there to say "told u so! LoL"..
8.Erm an advice from an chinese uncle we met at the skyway which i doubt to be usefull " if you wanted to go inside the casino, get yourself a forged indon passport or something.. Malay arent allowed to go in for obvious reasons.." :P

Ramadhan datang lagi!! Selamat berpuasa rakan2.. Dont forget to puasa from all the bad deeds also.. May god bless u all.

JFK EWR

In dilemma of buying tickets from Newark to Rochester!! If I buy a ticket from newark airport to rochester, it would cost me $238.. However, if I went there from JFK airport, that would cost me only $74! But then I had to deal with travelling from Newark to JFK!! Well It only cost $30 to take a bus to JFK airport.. But I guess I have no choice.. I have to take the NEwark -> JFK -> Rochester if I want cheaper flight..(238 - 30-74 = $134 saved)... Aaah.. what a pain -__-"

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

I went to Mines Wonderland with my brother to buy hand phones. My budget was around RM600 with Sony Ericsson Brand in mind... However, after an exhausting search I want to buy a sony ericsson W595 for Rm700.. Im a lil bit off budget but the phone seems really cool o_O
But then I look at a Sony Ericsson W705 cost about rm980.. Wah ini ade wi-fii 3g segala.. screen pun besar..

Then the promoter says : Kalo awak nak WiiFii n screen besar baek awak amek ni : He show me a Nokia 5800..

It has a really big-touch screen.. I was in Love!! literally.. I dnt know if its the design or the touch feature, but I decided I wanted it and asked for the price.. It seems quite reasonable and I bought it.. OMG im so broke after this -_-"

Btw, I found this interesting article"21 Reasons Why Nokia 5800 is better than Apple Iphone"
