becoming me

First impressions of other people normally are the wrong impressions. Although it doesn’t happen most of the time but it does happen.

Anyway, someone today told me that I’m a very nice person. hehe. I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet or what they say in malay “masuk bakul, angkat sendiri.” (ooh, my bm’s still good). Anyway, It was kinda nice lah when others tell you you’re nice. My friends and I were talking talking about first impressions and second impressions and third…..blah….blah….. Anyway, a friend told me that I’m very nice (note the ‘very’) hehehe…. Perasan-nya… We actually didn’t have a good impression of this particular friend but he turned out to be alright. hehe… guess that’s the way it is. First you don’t like them, next you are all buddies…. I’m beginning to enjoy the company of my other coursemates.

But sometimes, wrong first impressions might not occur in order to have a good and strong friendship. I had fun chatting for so long with Amanda last Sunday. It was good lah…..

Secondly, first impressions on other things (for e.g. residential college activities) might be wrong too. I had very negative impressions on college and the activities. I hated the late night meetings and all. But lately, I think I’m beginning to change my mind. Surprisingly, I think I actually enjoy those activities. I like mixing with people and doing stuff with them and chatting with them too.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually love the project I joined. It’s called the Inter Varsity Aids Conference (IVAC). I don’t know why. I guess in the beginning I developed a negative feeling towards it because I had a very negative perception of college activities and college meetings. (College here means residential college). I realised that it’s not really the project that I dislike but it’s the idea of tons of meetings and lotsa work. I was wrong. I enjoy the company actually. It’s gonna be in UPM Serdang from 9 - 11 Feb 2006. It’s only rm 30! We’re gonna give you food, a nice place to sleep (i think), a T-Shirt and the conference materials. If interested, pls email ivac7rc@gmail.com….

So with that, I will be more committed to my college activities and just give them as much as I can

Boy: Have you tried the taiwan sausage here?

Me : No.

Boy : It’s really spicy and it’ll make you cry. And you’ll end up going to the toilet for the next three days.

Girl : Is it? It’s that bad?

Boy : Yeah. Wanna try?

Me : Ok lah.

Boy orders food. Food comes. Boy excited.

Girl cuts a tiny portion. Didn’t dare to try. Me, cut another tiny portion. Put it in my mouth.

Me : Not hot also….

Boy : Are you sure?

Girl tried her tiny portion. Didn’t say anything much.

Me : No lah, not hot.

Me eats a bigger portion of it. *chew chew chew*

Me : See, it’s not hot.

Boy thinking, is it true? But I tried it before. It’s super hot and spicy. How come she doesn’t feel it? Boy eats the rest of the sausage.

Me thinking, “Eh, his right lah. It IS really spicy.”

Boy starts to have tears in his eyes. Suffering.

Me, starts to suffer too. Oh man! It is very very HOT…..

Me ended up drinking three cups of iced tea.

Moral of the story: Never be too quick in passing judgment.

Don’t know what I’m doing here. I’m really sleepy. I think. I’ve got so many things to do and assignments too. I’m gonna be so super busy this semester…. I’m looking forward to holidays already!
