4 dead birds on campus!!BIRD FLU??
Earlier this evening about 4pm, we were still waiting for our lecturer to enter the class when some of my friends started spreading news of the mysterious death of 4 birds..which look somewhat like sparrows in front of our campus's main enterance..
it caused some minor worries among us..at least there weren't any uproar among us students as at that time, most of them have went home..
when our lecture ended bout 5+, we saw a STAR journalist with a photographer or two at the main enterance..turns out the journalist is a friend who's currently doing her internship with the paper..what a coincidence..sending back someone who's from the uni to cover the news..
i guess we'll just have to wait and see if the event makes it to the news tomorrow..hopefully those birds did not come all the way from SETAPAK the virus..we might just go frantic..well on the positive side, it would be an excuse to not complete the damn assignments..haha...joking...
too bad i dont have a cam with me..at least i can show u peeps some prove..
my conclusions to the mysterious death of the birds..
1. the birds may have died of exhaustion..
2. the frequent storms may have caused them to die of heart attack..
3. it may just be a bird flu case..
sigh..we'll see..

3pm burn
Teaching swimming @ 3pm is quite a new experience until it turned into a nightmare that is..for those of you who are clueless..i've just started teaching swimming (part time) for about a month now..im having fun..but i have to travel lots..
So anyway..Jackie (the instructor in-charge) told me to start the class first..and that she'll be coming later(she had a class somewhere else)..And so i started the 3pm's class with a clueless mind as to what the kids swimming level where..but im thankful that it was a small class of 4..it was stil managable..the class was like my 1st solo debut..haha..
At times i felt like a dummy cos i had to ask the kids "so..what have u'll learnt in the previous class??" every now and then..but all well ends well..Jackie came only towards the end of the class..and i guess i did pretty well..at least i did not screw up anything..haha
Not bad for my 1st time..handling a class by myself..mind you that i do not have a solid foundation in teaching yet..haha..
And the nightmare...under the sun for an hour like that..SUNBURNT!!!yeaps..i was too smart for not using any sunblock..and so i mut suffer now..my back and hands are as red as lobsters...and they're hot too...
check out the contrast
I hope that the skin won't peel..hehe.i've learnt my lesson..
p/s: the blog is still very stale..will put up more posts soon...hopefully...

Obviously i am thrilled that i actually got the offer...considering what my previous college lecturer have told me once "Our broadcasting students application for this award are rejected most of the time..." So im the different one...different and dumb for that matter..
So i've blew away my only chance to study overseas..all the dreams that i've had about studying abroad are flushed down the toilet..
