Pauline's Last Day at College *grins*

Today's my last day at college. I must say I felt light-hearted even as I drove to college...and why not? After 3 years of the monotony of attending classes, driving to and fro college each day, putting up with AWFUL cafeteria food, and surviving on McD as my staple food for the days which I escape the deadly jaws of cafeteria food; who wouldn't be happy to know this is my last day. The last day i step into KDU College Penang for classes, ah...sheer bliss...a historical day to be noted. Hence a blog entry to commemorate.

Ah...reflections on college life. The pleasant and fun moments which I never want to forget (meeting great people, making great friends, the joy and satisfaction of getting good grades and grinning upon receiving an exam-results slip), and the not-so-fun moments I'd rather forget (e.g. enduring hours of lab classes...someone should tell those KDU folks that it's frustrating to sit in Lab 1, 2 or 3 where you need to sit with ur head angled 90 degrees to the side in order to see your lecturer...duzzin matter if you guys upgrade da whole lab of computers to those snazzy IBM units with LCD panels, a stiff neck is still not the "in" thing...).

Reflections on college life makes it compulsory to mention the food served at Le Cafe, a section of the cafeteria allocated to the H&T students to cook and sell their "delectable" culinary cuisine. Trust me, the food served goes BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION. Red ants floating in hot mocha, weird looking greenish goo served as dessert, fish-n-chips served without tartar sauce (they plunk a blob of coleslaw at the side of ur plate...and that becomes your coleslaw, tartar sauce, mayo, and veggies, all-in-one-blob-of-goo, so to speak *shakes head in dismay*), coleslaw with veggies DRENCHED in vinegar to the extent where it's like eating slivers of cabbage soaked in a solution of 55% mayo and 45% vinegar, and not to mention the multiple cases of food-poisoning my poor friends and I faced, utterly unthinkable! Still, students eat there, for mere fact that the tables are nice (those Starbucks-kinda tables) relative to the tables on the other side of the canteen...and that they serve a variety of food (more like in-class experiments, sold to generate profit)...ah, what can I say...I'm happy to not have to eat there anymore, I'd rather live on bread-and-butter at home than to suffer lunches at Le Cafe. Ok guyz, let's all say it together now... *ABSTINENCE FROM LE CAFE'S FOOD GUARANTEES GOOD HEALTH AND LONGEVITY* =p

Still, I'll miss college, once I get past the initial "I'm Free!" feelin, I'll probably miss meeting friends and some of my lecturers....all those people who have helped me endure college life, lend a listening ear whenever I gripe and whine about the librarians (and give some of their own opinions of those librarians as well...you guys just lurve calling 'em 'Barbarians' don't you? =P), keep me sane and healthy throughout class-days monotony and 'deadly' assignment deadlines, help keep my head firmly on my neck whenever I get good grades (i.e. ensuring that I don't get my head in the clouds), and whenever I get not-so-good grades (i.e. ensuring that I don't chop off my own head in a remorseful act of self-punishment for not studying consistently =P). So here's a toast to college life, and a toast to all you who have survived college life, and to all those who came out alive after eating at Le Cafe ;) ...cheerz!

Pauline's first 'real' post...

"The man who does things makes many mistakes, but he doesn't
make the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing."
~ Benjamin Franklin ~

Just thought I'd put that quote for starters...one of my all-time favourites...motivating, and helps to give me a little kick on the butt to get me started whenever i feel like procrastinating (ah...typical me). In this context, the quote goes like "Pauline who does things (i.e. type this post) makes many mistakes, but she doesn't make the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing (i.e. not posting at all)". There...that should make Ben Franklin turn in his grave for twisting his words of wisdom. Still, that's what advice is for. To be applied in our daily lives. *winks cheekily*

So, without forgetting the preliminaries, here's a big hello to YOU (yes you, the one reading this =P) ...thankz for droppin' by and for actually taking the time to read my blog. Consider it an achievement to have read up til this point...most people do not have the patience to put up with my crap... =P ...Won't be introducing myself in this post as all neccessary information can be found by clicking on the "View my complete profile" hyperlink on your right (correct at the time this post was created, subject to change anytime due to moods, current situations i.e. How-I-Deal-With-Whatever-Life-Tosses-In-My-Direction, bouts of insanity, and the mere terrible fact that I'm unpredictable to the extent where even I myself cannot decipher the inner workings of my grey matter). With that said, do feel free to leave any comments on my blog, helps me to know that it does get read by fellow humans... *grins*
