One of my classmate told me a hilarious fact that " Amanda, your breast looks smaller today, it doesn't look as heavy as the last time I saw you."
HA HA. Does it mean I've lose weight? Or it's just an illusion for her? I laughed my ass off,that was the most funniest phrase of today.
Surprisingly, I realized that I leave my laptop charger in the college when I arrived home!!!! wtf.
I rushed back to the college immediately,felt too insane. I looked all over the classroom I was in this morning. I found nothing, and of course there was so many shitty movement like looking like a worried sucky duck running in the college talked to the lecturers, I thought I looked hilarious too.
A mixed emotion is driving me crazy. I came back home feeling disappointed and a little sorrow, lol
THEN,
I made the "comfort in your cup" which is refers to the Campbell mushroom cream soup for lunch. Drinking the hot soup make me feel warm and perhaps 2% of comfort. lolz it reminded me that I'm still blessed because I'm not starving to death like the kids in Africa.
But heck yeah, the soup tasted too yummy. I can't help it, it became my comfort food at the moment ;)
I think I'm gonna look at the bright side of every single tough situation, at least there's a good news behind every bad news =) cheers!

Surprise! My second semester has just started last week, wow. It's November baby, isn't it a beautiful month ? December is just around the corner, which mean it's Christmas fever. Time to browse in mall, hippie!
Thanks to Nicole for the previous comment about the Ah Lian and Ah Beng. Today, I found the article of 'how to dress like ah lian and ah beng'. Fascinating eh? lolz
Ah Lian
The Hair: Straight is good. Remember to go for regular rebonding sessions to ensure your hair looks ‘sleek' and chio. Increase your kawaii (cute) factor by adding all sorts of rainbow coloured clips to your hair.
The Make-up: The more the merrier, pile on the foundation and candy pink blush. Put on some bright red lipstick and maybe some blue or green eye shadow to dazzle your beau.
The Handphone: With this multi-purpose accessory that doubles as a mirror, use it to take pictures of your beloved to use as your wallpaper. Sms your friends to gossip about who's dating who and hang those dangling hello kitty phone straps for decoration.
The Clothes: The more outlandish the better. Contrast is good. Make sure the colours clash. That's how you stand out. The shorter the skirt or shorts, the better - flaunt your legs, skinny or flabby. Make sure your tops have enough frills or lace to look ‘dainty' Let the straps of your black bra peek out, it's said to be fashionable.
The Handbag: Has to be ‘branded'. It really doesn't matter if it's fake or genuine - as long as it has the ‘G' or ‘LV' logo. Carry it with pride even though it's far from the real McCoy.
The Shoes: Make that 3 inches, no, why not 5 inches? Get yourself a pair of platform shoes guaranteed to add height to your stature and make you feel tall. These chunky shoes come in all different designs and colours. Take your pick.
Ah Beng
The Accessories: To complete your look, get some gold or silver chains, fisherman slippers and a cool tattoo on your arm. Fake ones not allowed.
The Hair: The Ah Beng's crowning glory calls for regular maintenance. A regular dye job is paramount - go for golds, reds or blue if you want. Try to keep a long fringe (below eye level) - it's very useful to flip when trying to look cool or you can go for the act cute look by accessorizing with a hair band. The Handphone: Create your own collection of interchangeable handphone covers to match your hair colour. To look impressive, adopt a squatting position while using your handphone, punctuating every sentence with a Hokkien vulgarity.
The Car: One word - modified. Ah Beng cars are designed to siam (escape) as fast as possible from the police but gain the greatest amount of attention while doing so (including slamming into the nearest road kerb). To have your car looking real swee (pretty), choose an outstanding colour, like white or red, then fit it with modified bumpers and neon speed meters. Install a flashing antenna that can flash lights in sync to the beat of "Aiyee, aiyee, ai, I'm your little butterfly" or whatever song that's playing on your super loud stereo system. The Clothing: Save money to buy some blanded clothing from Armani and JPG. Or else, stock up clothing in every fluorescent colour you can find, especially if they're tight and have dragons printed on them. If you want more pattern, try sleeveless shirts with zips in front so you can pull the zip down to create different effects.

Today, I have class in the afternoon. I have 5 days classes now as the matter of fact, things changes, need to adapt new environment. Apparently I'm living with June in the big cozy masterbedroom. How sweet!
My past whole week was just too awesome, I miss cooking and baking in the house with mami :(

Definition of Ah Beng & Ah Lien
After all this year, I have met tons of Ah Beng & Ah Lien, but I have never found out the exact meaning of these names. lolz
Ah Beng is a term commonly given to a member of a group of young Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese men, whose age range from their early teens to late 20s, usually centralise in the busier and more developed cities in the region, but are usually seen as originating from smaller or more rural towns. Ah Bengs typically speak local slang, which is Hokkien or Cantonese mixed with English and Malay, such as Manglish or Singlish. They are often stereotypically portrayed to be anti-intellectual, superficial and materialistic and shallow. These values often lead to a lack of culture or indulgence in criminal activity or being involved in brawling or arguing out of disagreements with other people. Ah Bengs are also sometimes associated with extensively-modified or zhng-ed cars, [1] and are stereotypically seen as being excessively flashy and show-offs. Ah Bengs are often seen decked out in gaudy floral shirts, tight jeans and sneakers, and often carry around plastic combs.
The term 'Ah Beng' is also sometimes used to describe young Chinese men in Southeast Asia who cannot speak fluent English and/or have graduated from the secular Chinese education system of the region.
In Malaysia, the term 'Ah Beng' usually refers to males who have unusual styles and tastes. And the term 'lala-zai' refers to males involved in stereotypical gangster activity or fashion such as the dyeing of hair.
Ah Beng comes from the romanization of the Hokkien pronunciation of 阿明 (POJ: a-bêng). 明 is a word commonly used in the names of Chinese males in the region; it means 'bright' in the sense of intelligence. In Malaysia, Ah Beng is also known as lala zai. 'Lala' has no actual meaning in itself, while 'zai' (pronounced 'chai') means 'boy'. 'Lala zai' refers to individuals who speak Manglish and possess a strong preference for gaudy fashions or hairstyles. A large group of them also frequent cursing in their daily speech, and it seems to them that cursing is more of a need to stay as an Ah Beng. Cantonese words such as " Tiu Lei Ke Ma Chau Hai", " Ma Hai" and " Tiu Lei Ke Fa Hai" is commonly uttered by them.
h Lian is a pejorative term commonly given to a certain group of young Chinese girls in Southeast Asia, especially Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese girls, whose collective age ranges from their adolescent years to late 20s, are usually centralised in the busier and more developed cities in the region. They are regarded as bimbos, and are stereotyped as anti-intellectual, superficial, materialistic, and shallow. Ah Lians are commonly stereotyped as having hair dyed in gaudy and bright colours, and attired in fashion mimicking hip-hop culture, or outdated Japanese fashion, although how much of this is true is debatable. Most of Ah Lians are wearing fashions that are out dated and they still have their hair straightened with thick fringe. They love to take own pictures and imitate the way Japanese girls take their pictures which is by making their eyes look big and puffing their cheeks. Few more examples of the way they take pictures are by putting a horizontal 'Peace sign' on their eye, putting a fist facing outwards on their puffed cheek. Another distinct feature of an Ah Lian is they swear in most of their conversations just like Ah Bengs. Much like their male counterparts - that is, Ah Bengs - Ah Lians are also thought of as being excessively flashy and show-offs.
The Ah Lian "culture" is especially prevalent in the secular Chinese educational system schools, typified by their frequent use of vulgarities and appearance in cliques (joined by their male counter parts Ah Bengs).
Ah Lians commonly speak in a kind of hybrid mix of Singlish or Manglish and Chinese, or Chinese-related dialects. It is also common for the grammar from these dialects to cross over English usage, creating English phrases with Chinese grammar.
Ah Bengs and Ah Lians love techno music. One can immediately spot an Ah Beng's or Ah Lian's car on the road. Their cars are usually heavily modified with big exhaust pipes, and powerful woofer set at the back of the car. They usually drive very fast while listening to loud techno music in their car.

Today, I had a shower in the public washroom together with my new roomate. It was such an experience. Life without the essential things in life is such a pain in the ass. lol
Aside from that, I had a blast of fun last weekend. I stayed in Westin Hotel, it was gorgeous indeed. We attend one of our relative Falco's wedding ceremony and wedding dinner during the night. It was so grand and needless to say, I ate like a cow. lolz
Oh, I miss my grandma so much -_-
I'm so exciting about homecoming.

My first semester is coming to an end very soon, very excited. On the other hand, I'm exhausted. Too much books, too little time. -_- I can't wait till homecoming. ahhhh...
I'm enjoying cooking in the house, what a relieve when I'm away from the books.
Everyday is bombarded with errands,house chores and home works , how depressing? I miss being a child. omg, did I just mention that I miss my childhood?
Maybe, everyone of us miss the good old times. But times doesn't wait, the history will remain a very dear memories to us, we shall look forward and enjoy our life to the fullest every next second.
I am tired , to be frank. But I need to move on.
