I don't know about the people just yet. &lt;BR&gt;I've only been here for a couple of days and I am already craving for a hectic social life.&lt;BR&gt;Man, it sure is hard to get to know people in a new school, let alone a new city. &lt;IMG src="http://www.xanga.com/images/bummed.gif" width=15 border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Classes started on Wednesday. The inefficiency and *rude-ness* of some people&amp;nbsp;(*coughJoancough*)&amp;nbsp;totally made me wonder if I should be pursuing my Masters in such school. &lt;BR&gt;However, I changed my mind (again!) when I spoke to the Head of the program. She's nice; so I'm satisified. &lt;BR&gt;For now. &lt;BR&gt;My professor (in the one and only class that I'm taking this semester) offered to be my mentor/advisor for my thesis during my first day of class.&lt;BR&gt;Am I lucky or what?&lt;BR&gt;I don't want to sound like an ungrateful brat but I am a lil hesitant in committing myself to him just yet.&lt;BR&gt;I mean, what&amp;nbsp;if I find someone else that is much more well suited for my thesis? &lt;BR&gt;He seems very interested in the fact that I'm from Malaysia and thought we could something related to Asia as a whole or specifically Malaysia. &lt;BR&gt;Oh, well, we shall see; though I am interested in obtaining my Certificate of Alternative Nutrition and surprise, surprise, the same professor created and founded the Certificate program. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/dreamymonkee/635754324/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, November 06, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/dreamymonkee/625542811/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/dreamymonkee/625542811/item.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Nov 2007 03:54:58 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial Black" size=7&gt;Happy Birthday To ME!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Yes, I am that shame-less&lt;BR&gt;*Weeee...*&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://www.xanga.com/images/laughing.gif" width=15 border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Many thanks to &lt;FONT face="Arial Narrow" color=#8f3030 size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=5&gt;Laine&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;and &lt;FONT face=Batang&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial Narrow" color=#0060bf size=5&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Mel&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;for my &lt;FONT face="Bookman Old Style" color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;birthday picnic on Sunday&lt;/FONT&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;And thank you for playing Taboo with me although it was freezing.&lt;BR&gt;I love you both to death!! &lt;IMG src="http://www.xanga.com/images/heart2.gif" width=15 border=0&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I'll always remember Mel talking to herself when the little boy (Andrew) was too busy playing with&amp;nbsp;Yoshie to answer her questions.&lt;BR&gt;And I'll always remember little Andrew telling his mummie off cuz he wanted to stay longer to play with Yoshie.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Mummie: Come Andrew, I heard there's some deers around here.
