Life as a college student.

When people say college life is overrated, i thought they were joking. 
Seriously.
Students in their secondary school period wanna go to college so badly because apparently,
1) Its "cooler".
2) We can wear whatever we want. 
3) The timetable is flexible.

Yeah.. its mostly right. Just that, ..

WHAT THEY DIDNT TELL YOU KIDS ABOUT COLLEGE LIFE.

1) Its wayy hot outside classes, and when you are actually in the air-conned classes, its FREEZING-till-you-can-even-think-yet-do-alvls-studies.
2) Yeah, but considering no1 reason, you cant actually wear anything skimpy for its WAYY TOOO COLD. So jeans 4 times a week is more practical. There you go. Tadah! A new "uniform".
3) It is more flexible.. without counting in the LAN classes from 4pm - 7pm either on tues/wed/thurs. And of course, you are also expected to join in clubs and societies, on Fridays after 12pm.
4) That while you are studying your course, you are expected to apply for overseas courses almost a year before actually going there, and it involves ALOT of extra research and planning to sit for those EXTRA admission requirements.
5) And your holidays aren't really holidays anymore. You'll be too busy planning for other stuff.

There you go. College life is wayyy fun. 
Of course, there are plenty of benefits like,


if you can and own a car, drive yourself to college.
But of course, you have to pay RM3 a day just to park in a crowded carpark and come wayyy early to find a space.
Maybe you think, since i can drive, i have more time to go out with friends to kaikai during my free time in college.
Not really, most free time is too short ~ 2 hours and you gotta eat fast if you go out out.
Maybe a 4 hour break is enough... without having to come back for LAN classes in the evening la.

:( So, still wanna be in college ?
Of course i DO love my new found classmates and teachers there. 
I just like to complain on the www. Hah. (:

Working Part Time and other stories :D

Haha. I still think its not me to work part time during the LITTLE two weeks hols that we were given compared to the ONE month for the Jan Intake students.
But oh wells, we only live once bla bla so i took a part time job.
The fun part is, i'm not revealing where i worked UNTIL i'm not there anymore. 
( Element of suspense comes into play here, muahahahaha. )


So i went for the job interview last Wednesday (: After talks with their assistant supervisor, telling me what & where & when & who, i got the job. ( Yayy, or so i thought la. First day of work blur blur dunno what to expect right ? ) ._.


Thursday - my first day of work.
Got assigned to my now good friend Poh Yee, who thought me everything i needed to know about what to do there and HOW to do it properly. (:
I spent my lunch hour with her and got to really berbonding with her on the 2nd day of work.
Poh Yee, You Really Eat A Lot. ( First impression of you, HEHE )
So i worked from 1.30pm - 10.30pm that day. 


HELD : LEGS ACHED LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. PAIN EVERYWHERE. 
You can't even start imagining. Due to the fact that i didnt do any exercise whatsoever AFTER being fit and healthy from NS.


After those two days of working, i ate something wrong and i was unwell for two days. So no work. :S Bittersweet feelings i guess ?


Then yesterday was my THIRD day of work. Actually was kinda looking forward to it since i've been stoning & onlining & doing nonsense for the last few days. ( Actually i couldnt do much because of the stupid stomach ache which is still going on as i type this )
So i went in for work feeling HAPPY.
Somehow, once i got used to the whole routine of what to do and all, it was actually rather enjoyable.
Now i can say that i dont regret working part time even though for the few days - not even a week - i actually went in for work. 
The people there are soooo friendly, most of them Burmese but they still welcomed me with open arms & always with a cheeky smile on their faces. :D
Min Naing, Min Tun, Aye Min, Ni Lin, Poudel - i'm sorry if i missed anybody out !! (:
You guys really made my day seeing the camaraderie among you all.


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WORKING PART TIME A JOY AND A PLEASURE. 
LOVE LOVE LOVE from your part-timer Esther !

I'm bacccckkk.

Its been officially 8 months since i last posted something up. (:


Its been a crazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay time being in NS.
For one, i know that being in NS kinda changed me in a way. Spiritually i guess, i learn how to depend on God in everything i do. I really couldnt have gone through those 2 months and 1 week without God for sure.
The CF there WAS AMAZING. The church i went was Grace Assembly Banting and THAT church was awesome.Seriously. Everyone should go to NS just to enjoy the presence of God in those two places. :D I think those places really put things into perspective for me. I LOVE CFS. (:


Being in HELP's CF also really has helped me in so many ways. I just love meeting new people who shares the same LOVE for GOD and its just a joy to worship together with them. :D THANK YOU.


And the AWESOME EASTER service in GTPJ was nothing short of spectacular.

The 100 voices choir !!

The CLOSE UP.
 I didnt expect much but i was so caught by suprise by the AWESOMEness of it all.
Amazing. I plan to expect more from the church now that i've seen what they are capable of. (:(:

Thats it for today. Loves and wishes from OVER HERE.
