A new chapter

Sunny

 

   Today's one day I'm extremely looking forward to. Had only 5 hours of sleep, still unable to open my eye lids completely. Today's the day I begin Part 1 in college. I was late for first day, thanks to mum! Luckily, Ishmael was late too, later than me. First session was Commercial Law, which Mr Reuben was handling. It was kinda interesting at first look, but I was just afraid my performance in Contract the year before would affect me in this subject. 4 subjects for this year, with 3 compulsory and 1 optional. The 3 compulsory were Land Law, Law of Tort, and the hardest perhaps, Law of Trusts. There were 4 optional subjects to choose from, namely Commercial Law, Family Law, Criminology and Evidence

   At first look, my choice would have been Evidence, because I had this idea that it was gonna be very interesting and what not, and my highest score was at Criminal law the year before. I was rather reluctant to take up Commercial law, but was sorta persuaded by friends to join in. I dropped evidence out of consideration because many people had this idea of taking Evidence in Part 2, so that was it. Family law was out of the picture at first consideration, and Criminology sounded pretty cool too, but then no one was on my side. After Commercial law, I began to doze off a little, probably because the whole week I've been staying up till 4 every night because of the Internet! The night before I stayed up late again, to watch England kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign against minnows Andorra in Spain. Was feeling very bored and ashamed at England's performance in the first 30 minutes, that I switched off the telly and went to bed. Just that I watched too much England and never seem to see them play well before.

   Class all but ended at 5p.m. Evidence slot was after this, but I didn't bother going to. Took the KTM back to Klang, then walked to Klang bus terminal to look for a bus that could take me back to Setia Alam. Fortubately, there was one such bu, but it didn't turn into Setia Alam, just dropped me outside the main road, which was better than nothing really. the bus driver was kinda polite and all, something I've not seen in Malaysian bus drivers in quite some time already. Mum came and pick me up at the shop lots there as the walk back home would take me forever, but by car it would take less than 5 minutes. 

   Was looking forward to the Belgian F1 GP at Spa Francorchamps, Kimi Raikkonen's favorite track. Just as the race was about to begin, Astro cut off telecast and I called them to find out why all channels displayed the "this channel is not in your subscription". So I found out that our account was temporarily suspended due to non payment. All along payment was debited from mum's credit card. Mum was furious when she talked to the Customer Service Consultant. The problem was luckily rectified in 10 mins, but unfortunately I missed the start, where Kimi managed to jump to 1st place after starting 4th on the grid, but unfortunately he crashed out with only 2 laps to go to the chequered flag. Bad luck for Kimi again. Derek lit up some lanterns at night, in line with upcoming Mid-Autumn festival.
