Did Ya Miss Me?

Tuesday, May 01, 2007

Probably didn't know I was gone right?
No matter. I didn't tell the whole world anyway :)

I was in Kuching, Sarawak since Saturday. It was just a short holiday with a big group of my relatives and close friends of my parents. Just got back today. Living without the internet was manageable for a few days but I was beginning to yearn for it. The hotel required you to spend 40 bucks for a broadband card to use their internet facilities. Cheapskates. And they call themselves a 5 star hotel.

ANYWAY.. That was about the only downside of this trip. We stayed at Damai Beach Resort which is under the Holiday Inn group. We requested a seaside view.


We did go on tour in those few days. We visited some orang utans in the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre.


Say helloooo to George. When I first heard his name, it reminded me of this guy who migrated to US or UK already. We met in primary school but we weren't close. I doubt we uttered more than 20 words to each other. He probably doesn't remember me :( We didn't talk much anyway.

We went jungle trekking in Bako National Park. I'm just not made for the outdoors. Seriously. But since we already paid for it... The path was not easy okay. Do I look like I am built for these kind of escapades?



LOOK at those steps. I tell you, its a miracle I survived. I didn't exactly come prepared for this hike okay. I had to go through THAT in THESE.


Flip flops! And they weren't even mine :( I felt so bad about dirtying them. Sorry!!. BUT I made it. The whole way. Through all those icky icky things and slime. Those pictures I posted are the easy parts of the trail. I couldn't take pictures during the parts when I had to really watch where I was going or risk falling into some humongous hole. I AM strong. Here me roar :)

We visited the Sarawak Museum as well. Cameras weren't permitted inside. God knows why. I am promoting them you know when I post up these pics. They should thank me. They had all these cultural stuff and some really random stuff like the skeletal remains of a whale. I still don't believe those bones were real. I can't remember much. I was more taken by all the head hunting history :)

If I wanna stick out my tongue and do THIS at the same time, I WILL!

We visited a cat museum obviously. Well, it is Kuching after all. Might as well milk its name for all its worth.
Tried my hand at pottery. I made a pretty darn good almost top of a vase:)

Although I enjoyed my stay here, I don't think I could live here permanently. Its a nice place, Kuching. But there really isn't much entertainment for the locals here. There is only ONE cinema in the whole of Kuching. ONE cinema for a population of 2.2 million. I couldn't believe it. The biggest shopping complex is 5 times smaller than Summit. And the shops there... needs no explaining.

The lone cineplex.


This little chap here was born with a gold spoon in his mouth. My cousins are rich. Enough said. The whole family dotes upon him every second of the day. The guy is wearing clothes from Guess, Esprit and Nike. He wears Adidas sport shoes, Quiksilver slippers and Crocs. Whatever happened to Kiki Lala for kids? The next time I see him, I won't be surprised to see him in Armani or Gucci.

Btw, try out the Envy Me fragrance by Gucci. It was love at first smell I tell you.

Currently hooked on Thanks For The Memories by Fall Out Boy and Nothing Good About Goodbye by Hinder.

BCP Is Just Not My Cup Of Tea.

Thursday, April 26, 2007

I so screwed up my BCP test today. Smack those who said it was easy. Its not like I'm such a whiz that I can actually afford to give up my precious marks and hope to score better in future tests and exams okay. There's another test next week. And its not an open book test. :( I want a HD! So when I get the hardcopy of my results, I will have solid prove I mastered whatever I'm supposed to be learning now. Bah. I'll try la.

Its so hard being in a class with whiz kids. They just go tap, tap, tap on that darn keyboard. By the time they have typed a hundred words, I'm still typing about forty. Yes, I'm that slow. Those guys aren't supposed to be so smart anyway. Wait, I'm not supposed to be so dense.

Btw, you wanna see Heng embarrass herself? Not like she doesn't do it on a regular basis, but these are just SO extra funny. It reflects her crazy attitude. I love her for that. Muax Heng!

Watch This.

Elliot Yamin looks hot now. He did something to his teeth. His eyes aren't half bad either :)

Maybe you don't remember him. He was last year's American Idol 2nd runner up. I never really liked him but he sure won over mum. She adores him. Anyway, he lost out to Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee. Before the finals, I thought that if Katharine couldn't win, I had hoped that it would be Elliot. I sure hope the dude succeeds this time. Hopefully he will make as much of an impact as Chris Daughtry who proved that he didn't need to win AI to make it. He certainly deserves it. His mommy must be so proud :)

Just A Drifting Thought.

The new generation of dads will sport earrings. I find that weird in a way. I guess its because I've been brought up in an era where dads just don't wear earrings. Sure I've heard of some who do, but the majority of them don't. Guess their kids will have it easy. I mean, if you have an earring, you can't exactly tell your son he can't have one. What a way to contradict yourself. But maybe its a good thing. If a child ever wonders if his/her dad was ever a kid once, they just have to look at the earring. Yes, your dad was a kid once. He might have been a rebel :)

I am beginning to despise long fingernails on guys. I don't care if you hate me for saying this. Honestly, what do guys see in it? Only girls look good with long fingernails. Its not like guys actually use nail varnish or anything. I see a guy with long fingernails and I shudder. Its not that I don't like the you as a person. I just don't like your fingernails. Don't give me some lame excuse that you need to play the guitar or something like that. That's why guitar picks were made. Some sensible guy who loved to play the guitar probably created them because he knew that long fingernails on a guy is just a turn off. I salute the maker of the first guitar pick. I'm making this up but I think its reasonable. Personally, I love the various designs one can find on guitar picks nowadays. I find them really cute :)

I've been in a temperamental mood these last few days. So I know my posts have been quite critical. I just feel annoyed every time I blog. So I pick out the latest thing that's bugging me. Maybe I'm just PMS-ing. I say maybe because although I have really bad PMS, it usually doesn't last for more than two days. I've been in a rotten mood for the last few days. Hormones are such a nuisance at times.

Pet Peeve.

Thursday, April 19, 2007

So it was expected. The presentation didn't go well. I know I should not feel disappointed. But it still hurts to think we could have done better. Anyway, its over.

Pet peeve at the moment : Inconsequential chain mail.

Yeah, I get annoyed when I receive such emails. They clog up my inbox and I just do not like that. So please, don't forward them to me. I just delete them. Look, I appreciate the thought but I just do not have the patience to read them. I only read forwarded emails that make some sense or are thought provoking.

I do not like messages that tell me I need to forward one message to 10 people and hope to receive it back to know I am loved. I already know that I am. I do not care that I will have 10 years of bad luck if I do not re post or forward the message. Heck, I do not bother that I will get 10 years of good luck if I forward the message either. I do not believe a dead person will come and haunt me or crawl out from under my bed. I do not need to forward an email to tell people I love them. If I love you, you'll hear it from me face to face. Just so you know, I am still your friend even if I do not send it back to you. And I know you are my friend. Plain and simple. I do not want any soppy forwarded love messages either. Forward them to your boyfriend/girlfriend only because in reality you will never say that to me. I do not believe I will have 10 years of bad luck in relationships for not forwarding it. Oh, since I am already ranting on this topic, please do not forward chain mail in Friendster either. It gets on my nerves. Friendster isn't closing down. If it does, then too bad. It ain't the end of the world.

Geeee.... Whose the girl who is going to flunk her presentation tomorrow?

I am not in a good mood. Do not aggravate me. You have been warned.

Monday, April 16, 2007

I love being random. If you hate it, then leave. No one is stopping you.

1) I am a klutz. I make the most klutzy person look graceful.

Reasons to justify my reasoning :

a) Now that I've moved to a condo, I have to walk considerably more than usual than when I was living in a house. To my unit I mean. Sometimes I have to walk from the guard house even, well, just because I can't drive up the slopes to the car park yet. ANYWAY, there are many, MANY pillars on the way to the lift in my building. So sometimes, I just don't feel like looking at the guards that constantly roam my building. You understand. So I would walk with my head bowed down until I reach the lifts. I notice them huge pillars a mile away though. Who wouldn't? Yes, as blind as I am I can still see them. Heck, I live here. So.. I walk, and walk, and walk. AND almost bang my head against the pillar. Seriously, you'd think a girl would have noticed she was walking head on into a pillar that was far from transparent. You haven't seen me. OH. This has hapenned so many times, I am still shocked that I haven't knocked my head once. Yes, I always stop 2 cm away from the pillar. Look up at it as if noticing it for the first time, shake my head AGAIN at my stupidity, and walk around it.

b) Tired of almost walking into pillars, I walk at the other side of the road to the lifts sometimes. I guess me being klutzy is inborn. If its not pillars I'm walking into, its dustbins and benches. Makes it even worse when I can OBVIOUSLY see the dustbin when I walk with my head bowed down. As height deprived as I am. Just so you know, I walk with my head bowed down sometimes not because I don't want to smile at the guards. There's this thing called the sun?

c) I trip ever so often. When I enter a new place to eat persay. I'd be walking with my friends and whoopsss. Some will even be walking in front of me and I'll see them step up the curb or step. Yet, when its my turn, I go blind and almost trip. Most of the time, I won't look at where I am going and end up tripping because I didn't see a small step going down. And I don't recover quick enough to make it seem as if I had purposely intended to miss that step. Or walk into it for the millionth time. On the contrary, I make one hell of a commotion.

d) I love my heels. When you are vertically challenged, you can't help but love 'em. I can walk in them at least. I think I've done okay so far considering my history. BUT. Yeah, theres always a but. I still can't manage walking up steps in heels. Please don't ask why. The end of my heels hate me for some reason. They just refuse to be on the steps I'm walking up. So, I ONLY walk near the railings. That way, when the end of my heels miss the step they are supposed to be on, I can hang on for dear life to the railings. Eh, sometimes the steps are tiny okay. A very good example? Go to TBS. Yeah, my feet are small. And I find the steps there small. Its a wonder I haven't done worse harm to myself other than miss a the occasional step and trip with my super heavy books.

e) I walk into people a lot. Not on purpose okay. I just like to walk backwards sometimes. And obviously I don't look if there are people behind me. So yeah. I am sorry if I stepped on your precious shoes. Or hit your arm. Or just plain make you stumble. For the record, I do apologize profusely.

f) I bump into things. Doors, tables, chairs, mirrors, cupboards, etc. This needs no embarrassing explanation.

2) I am a picky egg eater.

YES, I like my eggs well cooked. NO, I don't like 'em to be half cooked. I don't like them stuffed into my paus and curry puffs. I don't fancy egg sandwiches either. I still do not understand why some people can like that. I love the yolk and not the white. But I will still eat the white if I have no choice. I don't like eating hard boiled eggs. I love them fried. Omelettes are good too.

3) I am blind at times. Not literally.

YES, I am vain. So what if I don't like to wear my specs? So what if I can't see that hot guy standing at the other end of the road? There are plenty more out there. Besides, I just like to look at them, give them the once over and then forget about them. I don't stalk them ;) Neither do I think about them.

4) I am a business student. And I am enjoying it.

Person 1 : So what are you studying now?
Sara : I am doing a business foundation *smiles*
Person 1 : OH. I thought you would be doing a science course. So 'smart'. *gives me a totally disinterested look*
Sara : *Sheeeesh. So what? Do you think I am stupid now?*

Person 2 : So what are you studying now?
Sara : I am doing a business foundation *smiles*
Person 2 : Oh. * gives me the look. She ain't that bright la...*
Sara : * I caught that look*
Person 2 : (changes the subject)
Sara : * probably thinks I can't handle discussing my future since I am only a business student*

Person 3 : So what are you studying now?
Sara : I am doing a business foundation *smiles*
Person 3 : What?! WHY??!! You were a science student!! So smart why do business? Wasted only your science subjects in secondary school.
Sara : Oh, cause I don't think I am very interested in science .*why must you emphasize on the word business like that?* *so if I do business means I am not smart already?*
Person 3 : You should do science la. Anyone can do business.
Sara : *internally rolling my eyes. If you haven't done it, don't act like you have*

Sometimes I just feel like asking them straight in their face if they think I am not smart because I am not doing a science course. So what if I am not studying about electrons or velocity? I choose not to study about electrolisis or the speed of sound. I choose not to study about microorganisms. I just don't have a lot of interest in it. I can't remember all that scientific terms. I enjoyed it during my high school years. But thats about it. I just don't see myself making a profession out of it. Sure, a business course is not as complex as a science course, but it doesn't mean I lack intellectual acuity. I know that. I would love to see the look on the faces of all those who doubted me when I make my first 6 figure salary. Better yet, I'm going to be a CEO :D

5) I wonder how motivators stay positive all the time.

I like giving people advice. I can't say the same for myself. I can't always see the bright side of everything. I can't live as I preach. And so I try not to always give people advice if I really don't believe what I am saying. How do motivators do it? Are they always so positive 24/7? Do they always see the silver lining in every bad thing? Is there always a silver lining in every bad incident?

6) I sometimes wish I had a big talent.

I know I am not musically inclined. I can't play the piano to save my life. Maybe I am a singer deep down :) HAHA. Ok. Stop laughing. I wish I had an interest in photography then. Or maybe as a painter! I could have been the next Picasso, Da Vinci, Raphael or Michelangelo!

7) I sometimes wish I had a great interest in something.

If I can't do it, I wish I could appreciate it. Like the arts for example. I wish I could just look at a painting and tell you something significant about it or the painter. Like if he cut off his ear or something. Heck, I wish I could just identify the paintitng and the painter. I find the arts interesting but I just can't remember it after some time. I have always been interested in Greek Mythology. But I can't remember all the stories I've read about after a while. Aih.

8) I want to be interested in history.

If I were, studying for it wouldn't be so darn boring. I kind of like Egyptian history. Then again, I can't remember much about it. Sorry, Malaysian history just does not interest me. Call me unpatriotic, I couldn't care less.

9) I have no respect for beggars. Period.

I look at them and think " They can work for a decent leaving". They are old. So what? I've seen many old people out in the streets making an honest albeit poor living. I have more respect for the old lady who goes around selling cakes then I do for beggars. Its a different story if they are handicapped. I somehow feel sorry for them. But come on. The beggars I see are smoking. They loiter outside the church in hopes that we will give them some money because we feel sorry for them. They are so poor yet they can afford to smoke? Makes me sick.

I just have to let this out.

Todays trip was okay. Not spectacular. Honestly, it leans towards boring and pointless. I am going to be lying when I write my reflective journal later. What to do? :( We can't be anonymous when we submit them.

*

Honestly, I didn't think Malaysian Studies would be that bad. I tried to stay positive. All the complains about LAN subjects from my friends, I tried to ignore. My positivity only lasted for so long. Can't say I didn't try.

Can't say I love the teacher either. Can't blame her though. I would be bored to tears if I were to teach Malaysian Studies for the 6th year running. Then again, I'll give her some credit. Maybe she DOES love it. I dont' believe it, but I'll pretend too.

Btw, my eyes hibernate when I enter the class. :D

*

Second week of classes and I already feel the strain of my workload. And to think I was complaining about my first semester being too boring. I take back those words. Please, let me take them back. Some prioritizing is in high demand here. *Looooooong sigh*

*

Okay. Off to do my Businees Computing now. I don't want to fail this class. Somehow, I don't feel that confident.

Of Goodbyes And Envious Feelings.

Monday, April 02, 2007

Some of my college friends have left. They hope to get better scholarships. If they don't get it, they still aren't coming back. I miss them already.

I'm not proud of this next bit. Truthfully, I feel a lil'....... envious. I wish I didn't, but I just can't help it. Sometimes, I wish they wouldn't go. I know. I know its stupid to feel this way. Selfish even. I mean, if I had the chance, I would totally leave for better things too. So who am I to say they can't strive for better things in life when given the chance ? I wouldn't want to won't contradict myself.

Maybe this can be a form of motivation for me. It will motivate me. Seeing my friends leave makes me believe and have higher hopes that I'll have my chance to make my mark in this big ol' world one day. I will see much more of this world before I leave it. I pray I will.

As much as I want to view this parting as a good thing for both parties, I still wish this feeling of envy hadn't even surfaced.

Ok. *smacks self* Stop willowing in self pity . Because I know that deep down I really do. Feel happy for them, that is.


Two of them have left. It was so sweet of them to drop by today to say goodbye. I realy hate goodbyes. I mean goodbyes when you actually mean goodbye. Not the I'll see you tomorrow kind of goodbye. I didn't think Iwould feel so sad since I've only known them for about 3 months. I guess you never really can tell how much some people have grown on you.

Thursday, March 29, 2007

I still do not know how I let myself get talked into situations like this. I must be more hard headed!.. Its hard when you're out numbered two to one though. Sigh. At least I got some good screams in.

I never liked horror movies ( I still don't! ) BUT...........

I actually prefered the horror movie I watched today compared to Bridge To Terabithia ( I can see some people smirking right about now. I know who you are ). Honestly, I just didn't get the whole one - minute - its - fantasy - and - the - next - it - isn't plot of BTT. No insult intended to all you BTT fans. You like it, I don't. At least the horror movie had some understandable plot albeit some bad acting. I will NEVER set foot in the cinema to watch another horror movie. I said this before but this time I mean it. My fragile (chicken) heart can't take no more. I love my lights switched on for horror movies with pillows to hug and to cover my eyes and a much more comfy couch to lie back on.

Sunday, March 25, 2007

Its currently 8.54 in the morning and I am blogging because I just have nothing to do now. I rather not browse through friendster for the gazzilion-th time. Or check my email account for that matter since none of my friends email each other at this God - forbid - anyone - should - be - awake - at - this - time - except - me hour. Adeline will have something to say about this. :(

I think I am currently going through this phase where I love music inspired by the fifties. Mum says its G.I. music. There's just something unique about them. Kudos to Xtina Aguilera for getting me interested. Although I'm not a big fan of her, its hard not to love her for the moment. She looks so hot in her new video. Only girls like Xtina, Gwen and Scarlet can make that shade of lipstick look hot and not like some clown. Hehe. I am currently hooked on Candyman. Hurt and Ain't No Other Man was good too. Just listen to her latest album, Back To Basics. Its different. Thats all I can say :D I am not in any way promoting her album. If you hate her, its fine by me. This album is just a rough idea about the music I am currently into.

Oh. Since I am being random now, listen to this song by Haley James-Scott. Its called Halo. I stumbled upon it while watching season 3 of One Tree Hill.

Believe it or not.

Monday, March 19, 2007

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not its just me.

*********************************************

Presentation....over.
Finals................over.
Driving exam...over.

Passed 2/3. Haven't gotten my results for finals yet though.

I feel so freeeeeeeee. Anyone up for movies?

I am a confused being.

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

The whole hype about SPM results has died down a little. I think.
I'm still a little unsure about my feelings towards my results to be honest.
I feel confused for some reason.
I think I'm feeling somewhere between satisfied - euphoric.
When people congratulate me, I just nod as it is only polite.
At least they feel happy for me. At least they feel something.

Thursday, March 01, 2007

I feel as if a landslide of work has suddenly come crashing down on me. And it sucks to be honest. Usually I strive on being occupied but this is just too much. You know whats worst? Its the fact that I've been doing this assignment for soooo long and yet I feel as if I never really progressed from day one. It kills me to think that I'm not as productive as I thought I was. I guess a reality check is in order right now. I know my priorities ain't straight but I just didn't realize they were sooooo way off track. Things don't get any better when some news come up that seem to crash with what my plans.

Here's the deal. I've got this presentation next Tuesday. I've busted my ass for like the longest of time, seriously putting time into this presentation, and it just may not work out because I have this thing called stage fright. Heard of it? Empathize with me.

Finals are in less than 2 weeks. I haven't started revising. I'm not particularly worried about maths, unless they dock more points for seriously stupid-even-my-sister-could-understand answers. I missed out this totally small working leading to the answer that anyone in their right mind could understand and they docked my marks. Honestly, I feel as if I'm being taught to be stupid, as one of my teachers once kindly put it. Wise words indeed. On the other hand, I'm totally freaked out about English. I know. I must have sunk quite low to worry about English. But I want my HD. It kills me that the one subject I thought I was good at and actually thought I could do well in prove that I'm not all that. For the record, I don''t think I'm all that. Just better than my current state.

Then there's this thing called SPM results. Truthfully, I do not feel anything at the moment. Not happy or worried or whatever people in my situation are supposed to be feeling. I have friends who say they probably won't get good shuteye till the day actually comes. One even said he/she will probably miss college for the whole day to go and collect the results. He/she has plans to celebrate his/her results I reckon. I sincerely hope I'll be able to join you. A part of me wants to bury it forever and never knowing how I fared yet another part frankly, is dying to know how well/badly I did. Actually I just hope it was good. BUT the day the results come out somewhat clashes with my finals. To take or not to take my results? That is the question. If I did as well as my expectations, I will continue with my finals in a totally euphoric state. The possibility of missing out on a HD may not even dampen my mood. If it doesn't turn out well, I'll just start writing a long apology letter to my almost bright future. I'll even throw in a few teardrops for good measure. I'm not being pessimistic. I'm just being real.

Oh it doesn't stop there. Driving test. I do not, I repeat, do not want to fail this. My instructor thinks I'll be ready. I still can't do my slope correctly. He'll probably cry when he sees me rolling back on the slope. I want more confidence. I think I'll pay any price for that. I'll buy some for my presentation as well.

If your eyes have reached this point, I seriously hope you did not waste any precious time reading this. I just wanted to share some 'joy'. Heh.

Have a happier day to all reading this.

God is Good.

The best family in the world?
I got them.

The best relatives?
I got them.

The greatest cousins?
I got them.

The sweetest, nicest, fabulous, money-can't-buy friends?
I got them.

The best 18th birthday?
I'm sooooo blessed to have had :D

Monday, February 19, 2007

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

On this happy, happy time, I promise I won't start ranting on anything trivial.

Not about how much I despise my lack of will power when good food starts pouring in. Yee Sang is soooo yummy.

Not about how I dread the thought that I may not be able to fit into my clothes by the time college starts again. Not to mention the clothes I just bought for CNY and my birthday.

Not about how I've already been gaining weight even before CNY started.

Oooopps. Guess I didn't exactly keep my promise :). Teehee.

ANYWAY, I won't dampen your spirits lar. Enjoy the new year keeping in mind all the things that mean the most to each of us.

Once again,

Happy Chinese New Year to you and all at home.

PS: Await my arrival at your house. Ang pows, here I come!

Monday, February 12, 2007

As far as stupid mistakes go, I've made one of the stupidest mistakes of all. Such simplicity in a question and yet my puny, addled cerebrum could not comprehend.

Goodbye HD. It was nice for a fleeting moment when I thought you were in my grasp :(

I am going to wallow in self pity now.

Me. Bored. Yup.

Friday, February 09, 2007

I am bored out of my wits.

Business Maths and ECS mid-terms are next week.

I am currently aware that my time being wasted writing this post yet I can do no thing about it.

I should be studying.

Studying is what I should be doing.

Somebody needs to give me a reality check.

Sigh.


I want to do some





probably here.



But of course...... I do not possess such moolah.

CNY is coming.

Yikes. The weight is coming back on.

Packing Part 2

Sunday, January 28, 2007

Right right.

Back to packing.

Actually I'm sort of embarassed bout this next bit. DO keep in mind that I did this next thing many, many, many, MANY years ago.

While cleaning out one of my cupboards, I found these.

Do not laugh. Or cry. Or roll your eyes.

YUP. Britney Spears. The ex-Princess of Pop. Notice that these pictures were taken wayyyyy back when she was little miss innocent. She still had a decent amount of clothes on. Its a far cry from the Britney who doesn't wear knickers that we see ever so often in the gossip news today. Back then at least she wore undergarments. At least I think so. Unless she always had this little fetish for not wearing them. She could have pulled it off, since she didn't expose that much back then . Whatever.



Ok I'll admit it. I used to be an avid Britney fan back then. Yes, wayyy back then. She was the sweet lollipop princess of pop. And she had the figure and looks although not the voice. But she had catchy tunes that soared up the pop charts. With record breaking albums and what not.

When I found these pictures, I remembered that I had wanted to make Britney scrapbook. Believe me, it wasn't easy getting all those pictures. I think I bought every single magazine that featured her back then. Constantly scouted the newspapers as well.



Every little gossip about her I kept. Btw, I used to like one of her dancers. Heh. Its the guy at the far left.

Silly, I know. What can I say, maturity hadn't caught up to me at that point in life. Anyway I'll post more, er, interesting stuff next time.

There really isn't much going on in my life now. I don't have thought provoking musings at the moment. I'm just waiting for an inspiration of some sort I guess.

Just for you Adeline!...Look closely at one of the pictures. Hope you like it!

Packing Part 1

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Moving, apart from being tiresome surely has its perks.

I get a new bed.
I get a new wardrobe.
I get a new study table.
I get new bookshelves.
I get new sofas, furniture, etc.
I get a new dining table.
I get a spectacular view of my surrounding area at night.
And etc, etc.

I think I've adapted well to my new surroundings. Its certainly different. But I'm fine and dandy.

Now packing. It was tiresome. As much as I wanted to savor a new surrounding, I dreaded the task of packing all my belongings and getting them sent to my new home. Thank goodness we hired a lorry for that.
Packing ment spending, possibly hours, considering the things that I have stashed away in places I don't even remember, putting my belongings into cardboard boxes, sealing and labeling them. It was tedious.
Yes yes, I'm lazy. I never denied that. Sue me.

Anyway guess what I found during those endless ours of packing?
Guess guess!!

This!


Yes its my long forgotten Sailormoon sticker collection. It sure brought back plenty of sweet memories from my childhood.

There was a time when I used to be fanatic over stickers. Sailormoon stickers in particular. Its probably been years since I've actually set eyes on these. It was honestly nice to reminisce about a time when stickers made my world go round.


See I even had time to arrange them stickers. The one I'm pointing at was my favourite. If I'm not mistaken its Sailor Jupiter or something like that. I've got only vague memories of names. Heh. The pictures blurry. Stating the obvious I know. I admit I'm not the best photographer and honestly I know next to nil about cameras.

I did discover something else while packing. But I'll just leave that for my next post. If I don't I'll have nothing else to ramble about.

To be continued...

So far..

Sunday, January 14, 2007

I've almost gotten used to college life. ALMOST. I haven't lost my way while getting to classes at least. Hehe.

College so far has been ok. Well I can't say much as I've only had 1 week of studies. I have got no complains whatsoever with my tutors or lecturers. I love it when they really enjoy teaching us bunch of students. Especially since we are now more open to speak our mind, they can expect frequent suggestions/opinions/point of views from us. They encourage it and thats a good thing. Their enthusiasm to teach us somehow makes up for the lackadaisical attitude of some previous teachers. God knows I've had to deal with the kind of teachers that really have no passion for teaching and teach as if it was a huge chore. I really hope my next few semesters continue this way.

Anyway, I'll have more interesting posts soon. Till then, take care and God bless.

XOXO,
Sara.

Merrrrrrrry Christmas

Tuesday, December 26, 2006

Its hard writing a post with someone breathing down your neck.Ughhhh.

I wanna go to a place where Christmas decorations adorn the streets and the smell of Christmas fills the air. I guess I feel this way mainly because I have not a SINGLE christmas decor this year. Moving is soooo tiresome.Hehe. But I'm not complaining.

Anyhow just to wish all of you out there a

Blessed Christmas!!

'Tis the season to be jolly.........'

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

You know, its strange really.
To know that one minute you're just starting out in secondary school and the next you're taking your first step into college. Its not that I WANT to be in secondary school right now. Seriously, to have the thought that I no longer have to fit myself into a school uniform for a good 250++ mornings in a year is quite nice. Scratch that. Its really nice. Heh. That uniform never suited me anyway.

I can still remember vividly my first day in form1. Oh how I couldn't wait to start secondary school. That feeling of starting something new was euphoria back then. That was then I guess. Now ultimate euphoria means new shoes, clothes and bags! Right now, I just can't believe that its all over. The past five years of my life that is.

Till now, I still have trouble digesting the fact that I've finished the chapter. It honestly feels like it was just yesterday that I opened this chapter in the book of my life and scanned the first few lines of the page. Now I've finished all 352641756087 pages. Now the book's closed and ready to be shelved in the part labeled Memories.

Sometime in the future I may just decide to take it down, blow off that layer of dust, remove the cobwebs and flip through it once again. By then I may just have grown more mature (hopefully) and laugh at all the things I did back then. Like stalking guys. But we'll discuss that in a different post. Or not.

Right now I'm just a fille tring to find my way in this big, big world.
This new chapter of my life has just begun and I have yet to engross myself in it. Oh well. Might as well indulge in it since I have nothing else to do :D

Friday, December 01, 2006

Come next Thursday, at approximately 4.30 p.m. , my cerebrum is going on a longgggggg holiday :) :)

Sunday, November 05, 2006



Saw this little bird of night perched on a tree in my neighbour's garden. A rare sight indeed. It was just sitting there, staring into oblivion. I have no idea what it was staring at. It sat there long enough for me to snap a few pictures. Didn't dare to get any closer just in case it decided to attack me. Hehe. Although it did look like an owlet to me. I didn't want to take any chances though. I have no idea what type of owl this is. I'm no expert in owls :D

I Want No Regrets.

Sunday, October 29, 2006

I want no regrets,
When I look back on my life,
At all the things I've done,
I don't want to see a girl looking all forlorn saying,
" What have I become? ".

I want no regrets,
When I look at my friends of long,
At all the things they have done and seen,
And turn to myself and think,
That could have been me.

I want no regrets,
When I look back on the things of the past,
At my actions and words I never meant but said,
I wish to learn now and not repeat,
From all the immature mistakes that I've made.

I want no regrets,
Even when I don't always make,
The right choices in life,
God knows I've done my best,
So I can look back and say " It's alright".

I want no regrets,
Even when the road I take,
May make life seem unbearable at times,
I know the right choices ain't always easy,
So faith in God and stubborn pride
will carry me through such hard times.

I want no regrets,
When my decisions in life,
Cause opportunities to pass me by,
When one door closes, another opens,
So I just won't sit around and cry.

So right now as I walk thorough this life,
I'll strive to do my best,
In the years to come I'll look back and say,
" I had no regrets ".

Of hilarious subtitles and CEOs

Sunday, October 22, 2006

The level of Malaysian pirated DVDs never ceases to amaze me. Yes, pirated DVDs are increasing tremendously. Look around at any coffee shop and you're bound to find at least 1 DVD seller.

What really amazes me, and gets my funny bone going on for hours, is their subtitles be it in Malay or English. Being a banana I can only read these two. No wise cracks please. On to the subject...

I remember watching a pirated version of Chicken Little less than a year ago I think. Darn, I'm getting old. Can't even remember when I watched it. Dear God, please don't let me turn senile to early..
As I was saying, I turned on the English subtitles as well. (Don't ask why. I've always had this habit of reading subtitles eventhough I can understand what the movie is about. A habit thats hard to break. Must have been too much Chinese soaps when I was younger.)

Anyway, there was a scene in the movie when chicken little said, "Where's my acorn?".And the subtitles read...."Where's my air-con?"...Just imagine a huge giant air-con falling on him!
Another scene, I'm not too sure what was happening already, the whole group of chicken little's friends were running from something. Then I think the pig shouted, " Fish, run for it!"....The subtitles read...." B**** run for it!"...Oh gosh. They called that cute little fishy a b****!...I couldn't stop laughing for a long time.

In another movie which I didn't watch but my mum related to me. Now this is worse because I heard that this movie was on TV and not some pirated DVD. In the movie, a person stands up and says, " I want to make a toast."...My mum was reading the Malay subtitles and they read.."Saya nak bakar roti"...Oh my gosh. How low can you get? Not even to realize the difference between this toast and toast bread??.. Here the character in the movie was trying to make a toast ond we in turn wanted to make toast bread. The TV producers should get some real translators.

Seriously am getting old. Can't remember where I saw this next hilarious part.It was a pirated DVD btw. In the movie, the character said, " Holy shit!!"...Everyone knows he/she was in some kind of trouble or saw something incredible to exclaime like that right? Our subtitles?...You're gonna love this one. They read "Tahi suci!"..Whahahahaha. Yes they really did. Directly translated it would mean that but c'mon already. I still can laugh about it till now. *bursts out laughing*

Recently I watched the The Devil Wears Prada on, you guessed it, another pirated DVD. Anyway the movie wasn't too bad but you'll have to love clothes to really enjoy it. A bit confusing here and there but I read the book before so it wasn't so bad. The English subtitles were horrendous. And to think I was counting on the subtitles to help me understand the movie a little better. Sheesshh. Anyway there was this part in the movie when a girl said, " When the boss is in a good mood, she's very good. But when she's in a bad mood, she's vicious." The subtitles came out before she spoke the words and guess what they said?..." When she's in a bad mood,she's fish shit."....Vicious = fish shit. I was bawling with laughter. Honestly. I even opened my ears wide enough to hear if the girl would actually call her boss fish shit.Turned out to be vicious instaed. * shakes head*

Note to self : Never rely on subtitles on pirated DVDs to understand the movie. Most of them anyway.

*****************************************************************

Germae was asking me the other day about what I wanted to be later in life. How easy it was 10 years ago to just say "Doctor".

Anyway I said I wasn't sure as usual. Heck, I'm not even sure what course I'll be taking in college. So anyway I asked her what she thinks I should do.

Guess what my lovely baybeh said?...She said, and I quote, " I feel you could be a Chief Executive Officer"...So sweet of her la. Imagine me a CEO. Hah. *mind floats away to dreamland*.Teehee.

*****************************************************************

Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends out there!!!!!

GRRRR.

Not at the best of moods at this very moment.

Know what I really can't stand?

People trying to read an article when I'M trying to read it. I don't mind, really, if we're sitting side by side reading the article or whatever it is. This (rant) mainly concerns people who like to poke their head over my shoulder and start reading whatever I'm reading. Look, kindly just ask for it after I have finished reading it ok? I would really appreciate that. Don't just stick your head at my shoulder and start reading it like nobodys business. Do I look like I like to have someone breathing down my neck? I don't blame you if you barely know me. In fact, I'll just stop reading and just pass it to you if you are someone I've just met.

But I guess some people are too dense to get the message after I've done this repeatedly. Ugh.

On a totally unrelated but similar matter.

When someone says your little antic is getting irritating, get the message and stop doing it for goodness sake. Some people have only so much self control. Do we need to stick a note on our heads to remind you all the time? I mean, sure, it was entertaining for a while. Then it just starts to get annoying and gradually becomes downright irritating. When no one else is laughing, the jokes over. Period. Even if you find it funny for some reason or another.

WOOOOHOOOO!!!

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

Say it with meeeeee...... TRIALS ARE OVER!!! O-V-E-R!!!

Gosh, I thought I would never see the day. Somehow I pictured a more, er, dramatic ending. Guess not. I was just so tired.

The big day ain't here yet though.

Study, study, study.Thats what I'll be doing for the next 2 months so please don't label me a nerd. SPM is just important to me ok.

I'll update later when I have more interesting things to yack about.

XOXO,
Sara

Saturday, September 16, 2006

Being sleep deprived is slowly becoming my daily routine. I know its self-inflicted and all. I guess I never learn. Somebody shake some sense into me. Beat me if you need to.

Oh how I managed to survive this past week is beyond me. Another week to go. Not exactly hyped about it but I don't think anything can be worse than this past week. I don't suppose anything can get worse. At least I hope not.

*Looks to the sky*(or rather the celing)

I'm Confirmed!!!

Sunday, August 13, 2006

This post may turn a little emo at the end so please don't mind me.

As you probably guessed, I was confirmed today.
To say that the day went perfectly would be a total lie. It started out anything but perfect in fact.

Woke up at apporximately 5.15 a.m. I wish I could just smash my clock at times. I set my alarm at 6 a.m. and it wakes me up at 5 a.m. When I set it earlier, it doesn't even ring!...Stupid clock.. I'm refraining from chucking it just because its purple...I'm a sucker for all things purple. So yours truly here was as usual half blind and could not see that it was only 5 a.m. , woke up, bathed, and got dressed. When I was done dressing, I realised it was only 5.45 a.m. Stupid, stupid clock.

Then........

To my utmost horror, I saw yellow spots all over my white blouse!...Oh gosh I was gonna faint right there and then.... Mummy!!!

She was sleeping la.... So I had to slowly torture myself and figure out what to do. To cry or not to cry?..Thank god I didn't have to torture myself too long...Mummy woke up and took care of things. She did her best but the yellow spots still remained although faintly. They weren't even tiny ones....To me it looked huge! Of all days... At least no one noticed la.....

Went to church early. Had to assemble in the hall. Instructions were given and then walked into churh with my Godmum. She gave me a beautiful present! Mummy gave me one too! *beams widely*

Sat through the normal mass. Then the time came for the annointing with oil. He got oil into my hair!!!!...At least it wasn't that much la...But I thought it was only to be on my forehead le....It was a normal mass except for the presence of the Archbishop. Then it was time for photos!!.. And you know I never miss out on camwhoring.... : D

As much as I have been looking forward to Confirmation, there has always been this nagging little feeling inside me. The feeling of losing touch with all my friends in Sunday School. In a way, Confirmation marks the end of my Sunday School years. As a student at least. There's always a chance that I may go back and help out.

Its depressing really. I will definately lose touch with some of them. Sure we may meet each other in church but most of the friends I am close with go for the earlier masses. There's a 90% chance none of my sunday school friends will read this so I guess I can be as sappy as I want to be. I am soooooo gonna miss all of them. After ten or so years of being sunday schoolmates, its gonna be a little difficult to grasp that I won't be seeing them on every sunday from now on.

No more waiting for each other outside the classroom or in the corridors.
No more toilet breaks for the sole reason for doing our hair.
No more gossiping about the hot guys in out church. (I know, I know its bad. But we can't help it ;P )
No more listening to wild stories from our respective schools. Really wild stories. Its great to know about what happens in other schools every now and then.
No more calling each other to find out if there is sunday school. Half an hour before sunday school starts :D
No more mindless conversations.
No more bullying the teachers.
No more bullying our seniors who were helping out. We still love you guys.
No more havocs in class. Yeah, I'll even miss the havoc.

No more camwhoring with the girls.

Although we have been in the same class for about ten years, its sad that I never really got to know some of my classmates at all. Especially the quite ones. They just keep to themselves la. At least the guys were more open this year. Got to know some of them better.


When will I ever get to see this scene again?













Monday, July 24, 2006

Got another er.... statement, per say, that I look like a Japanese girl. Are my eyes that small?

Maybe I should just jet off to Japan and get the opinions of some real Jap people. It can't hurt right? Besides, I've always wanted to see cherry blossoms ; )

Totally Random Thoughts.

Sunday, July 09, 2006

I want to see snow someday. Real snow. Not the kind that you see on TV or even man made snow.

I don't know where the thought came from. I thnk it came from one of those daydrems that I'm beginning to have ever so often nowadays.

Maybe I've watching one too many Christmas movies. The kind of winter wonderland thing has kind of rubbed off on me. Somehow seeing people all covered up in thick coats just to stay warm, snowflakes getting caught in their hair, throwing snowballs and making snow angels has made me wanna experience what its like to see, taste and feel actual snow.

Highly unlikely for me to actually experience snow in this insanely hot weather la. Goosshhhh its burning hot nowadays. I feel as if I'm constantly living in an oven. Thank God for air conditioners.

I have seen man made snow before though. Twice in fact. Once when I went to Korea and the second time in China.
It was nice to see the whole place covered in white but I don't think anything beats seeing snow fall from the sky instaed of coming from some man made machine.Ok, I wouldn't actually know yet as I've never actually seen snow fall from the sky but I'm betting its tons better.

I almost got too see real snow. Almost.

I was in China right? When I was there, the tour guide did say that it might snow sometime soon. So there I was praying it would snow. Even a little. And guess what? It snowed.Yup, it did. Two days after I got home. Can you believe my luck?
I read about it in the newspaper. If I had stayed a little longer....Ugh. Oh well. Someday I'll get to see snow.
Anyone with extra cash to spare to buy me an air ticket to Europe? *bats eyelashes*

*******************************************

Was talking to my cousin a few hours ago. We got into the topic of food. And she starts complaining about her nonexistent belly. Please. That girl has no tummy whatsoever. Compared with mine....
She totally cracks me up sometimes. Anyway, it went like this :

Leen : You know what? I feel as we grow older our will power to diet has disappeared la.
Sara : I totally get it.
L : So now have to double the workout time la ( makes a face)
S : You don't say. ( makes a face back)
L : If not ah, the belly just gets bigger.
S : (stares at her nonexistent belly) Puhleez la.
L : Seriously la.
S : Nevermind la. Can do belly dancing what...
L : No need la. The belly already dances by itself.

********************************************

When I was younger, I always dreamed of getting into an Ivy League college. Possibly Brown, Harvard or Yale.

Still am in fact. I like the sound of it. I dunno why.

Ivy. IIIIIvy. Ivvyyyy. : D

Sounds extremely prestigious. It is in fact.

The catch?..You have to be super smart to get in. You guys probably now that already. I know I'm no where near it yet but I can still dream can't I?

*********************************************

My Confirmation is coming. And I still haven't chosen a name. Eventhough I've been thinking about it since forever.

I haven't found a name a really like yet but I've found some that I really don't. Honestly I don't. No disrespect to the saint of course.

Big no-no's :

Abigail
Barhadbesciabas ( I can't even pronounce it)
Bobo
Blitmund
Blitharus
Bodagisil
Caecilius
Cerneuf
Corbmac
And many, many more...

Sara Abigial Kang? Sara Bobo Kang?... Hhahahaha. Its a laugh a minute.

********************************************

I knew it wouldn't last forever. My World Cup fever. I'm still contemplating if I should stay up to watch the final between Italy and France. My fever kinda subsided after Brazil got kicked out. Ish. And its not like I'm a big fan of France or Italy. Hmmm...

Monday, June 26, 2006

My feet hurt. They really, really do.
Note to self : Wear sport shoes the next time I plan to do extreme walking.

Canteen Day was a success. Didn't make as much money as we hoped but it was fun nonetheless : D

Holland got kicked out. They should have won. Noooooooooo.....

To Kick Or Not To Kick.

Thursday, June 22, 2006

You know it's seriously weird when you're in the midst of a BM class and suddenly your mind starts wandering to kickboxing. Well, technically its not weird when your mind starts wandering..... but to kickboxing? Hmmm.... Weirder still when your friend suddenly turns to you and blurts out that she wants to try kickboxing. Maybe it was due to the essay we were dicussing. It was an insanely boring essay on martial arts and the sort.

Me: Cikgu, boring la karangan ini.
Mr. Z: Eh, tak ada alasan. Nak dapat 'A' untuk SPM?
Me: (barely above a whisper) "Great".

So its actually been there for a while. The urge to try out kickboxing I mean. I never told many people for fear of them getting freaked out or something but I've been wanting to try out kickboxing for a while now. Somehow I feel that there might be something calming about venting your anger at a punching bag. Throw in a a few kicks. Don't label me as weird though. You never know till you try right?

We adolescents have many frustrations after all. Well at least I do. Been feeling more agitated than usual lately. And I can't blame it on PMS because its past that. It really sucks when you can't even figure out why you're angry or upset. Ah, 'tis the life of a confused teen.

I have no idea where the urge to try kickboxing came from so please don't ask. Could it be from watching too much telly? Or maybe from a few stray hormones?......Somehow I feel that the latter is more convincing and therefore to blame.

Anyone wanna try out with me? We'll find a place swarming with hot guys to ogle k? They might inspire us ;) I'm assuming no guys are reading this.

Ok, so maybe now is not the best of times to start out something new. SPM is coming after all. And I'm lazing around more than usual, constantly finding things to do and blogging when I don't exactly need to just to avoid studying. Heh.

I'm beginning to feel the pressure though. Doesn't help when people are counting down the days for you. Do I look like I need more stress? *rolls eyes*

Just a quick word

Wednesday, June 21, 2006

My TV's backkkkk..Well, technically it is. Its actually our spare TV moved to the living hall. But hey, no complains : )

Hari Keusahawanan is coming up. Can't say I'm very excited though. Guess its because I've been through it before. But the hype will catch up sooner or later. I hope it'll be a big success though for my sake and for the sake of my dear classmates.

Been thinking more than usual lately. Sort of. I'm a mess. Honestly.

PMS Blues

Thursday, June 15, 2006

I'm PMS-ing. Not exactly a great time to get on my nerves.

Just when I thought nothing worse could get on my nerves, guess what?

My one relief breaks down. Yes its my TV. I just realised I can't live without it. I'm not the only one though. My whole family is pining for it like as if the whole world has come to an end. Its embarrassing really. To think we can't live without the TV for even a day. We've resorted to the spare TV which unfortunately has NO, I repeat NO ASTRO. We're sad. After watching an episode of some made in Malaysia FBI show, probably trying to imitate those Crime Scene shows we finally gave up as there is nothing else on normal TV.

My TV chose a very good time to break down. Not. Its World Cup time la....means there won't be any football to watch ( not like I'm missing any important matches yet. But still..). Call me a hypocrite but I kinda got into the spirit of it. The football fever is soooo contagious. Although I still wouldn't stay up to watch those 12 or 3 am matches la...I can't watch my van Persie, Kaka or Torres la... *sobs*

I have to worship lead tomorrow. Without any practice beforehand. Oh joy. :(

Football Fever

Saturday, June 10, 2006

So its finally here. The time every football fan has dreamed of. The time when every hardcore football fan will be glued to the TV. Its World Cup time. Oh joy.

Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm. I'm not a big football fan like some of my peers as you can probably tell. But considering that I do know at least 10 % of whats going on, I feel as if I deserve a pat on the back. *pat pat* : )

Honestly, the times when I actually do watch a match would be for the footballers or because there is nothing better to watch on TV. Or if my brother or dad is hogging the TV. Which is very, very rare. I'll be bombarding my brother with questions about the game and I think he probably gets fed up with me. Oopssss... ; D

Be ready for a whole month of football mania people. Not like it didn't start a few months ago. Sometimes I don't understand what the hype is all about. Some of them act like they would die if they didn't watch a live match. Whats the big deal if you caught the repeat? I hope my peers who are reading this won't kill me for saying that. For the record, I fully support your dedication to the TV set for the next month. Heck, it only happens once in 4 years after all.

I'm supporting Holland this year.Robin van Persie!! * muax muax* Brazil is a hot fav among Malaysians. I'm supporting Brazil for Kaka. He's hottttt. Thats the only reason. Hehe. England?...I dunno. Not a big fan. I also have a feeling an underdog will surprise us this year. : )

*****************************

It's back to school in 2 days. Can you believe it? 2 days!!!! Whare did my 2 weeks go????

I want my holidays : (

I feel like I'm still living in la-la land with no cares in the world.

Reality bites. And it bites hardddddddd.........

Friday, June 09, 2006

Watched The Da Vinci Code with the girls today. I know I'm like major late but hey, at least I managed to catch it. Wasn't as good as I'd pictured it to be. Started yawning about half way through the show. Kept testing my memory power to remember who killed who before it actually happened on screen. Childish I know.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Pirates of the Caribbean next. Trying not to get my hopes to high so I won't be dissappointed with the outcome.

*************************************

Ever wondered how things somehow become so much more interesting when you have to study? (In my case its having to finish this completely pointless PJ project that I feel serves no purpose whatsoever. And studying of course)

Reading chick-lits are way more fun.
The need to sleep more is there.
Somehow the TV has more interesting shows.
The mall is looking so much more appealing. (Which makes the fact that I'm going to 1 Utama tomorrow so much more fun)


Mixed Emotions

Saturday, June 03, 2006

I'll be leaving for Penang tomorrow. Again. Don't ask.

Heck a week, well almost, has gone by and I still haven't gone out for a single movie. You'd think a girl with two whole weeks of hols would have tons of time to go out. I'm a sad, sad person.

Instead of going out for movies, I've been going for tuition. Yup everyday for the past 5 days. Ugh, I pity myself. Then again, I did resolve to start studying earlier. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. A huge disguise.

Don't get the wrong idea though. I've not been studying 24/7. I do have more time to laze around. Sleep more. Eat more. Catch up on my TV time etc. I just wanna go out and watch a movie. Or two ; )

A lil overdue, but no matter...

Went for this A-levels course on Monday with Kerry. Wasn't exactly what I pictured it to be though. I expected a long lecture on the course which undeniably I'll be half asleep half way through. Heh :)

Instaed we were split into groups of 3 each, thank goodness I got Kerry. Each group had a mentor and that mentor was supposed to bring each group to his/her respective classroom. We sat in the same class for the next 4 hours or so. I guess the point was to show us how lectures were conducted and such. Our classes, or rather their classes before lunch break were Thinking Skills, Physics, Maths and Chemistry. We understood about 15% of what was going on. The rest was absolute greek to us.

Then came our lunch break. Lunch was provided but our mentor said that the food in the canteen sucked.He wanted to take us out but we declined cause we were going to meet up with Charlene for lunch. He was nice to ask us out though.

Came back an hour later and were told that Economics, our next subject was cancelled because the lecturer was absent. Oh well. All wasn't lost though as we spent the next hour watching this hilarious comedy the students undoubtedly downloaded for times like these.

We were late for our next "class" which was in the library cause we sorta lost track of time. Figures. After that we were told to fill in some questionaries as usual. So thats about it really. Found out that it costs a bom for tuition fees alone. Sheessshhh. All they care is about these days is making money.

Tired.

Exams are oveeeeerrrrrr!! *beems*

My my, I never thought I'd be so happy to see the day exams finish. Somehow this exam period seemed to go on and on forever. I can still remember the day before exams started and praying to survive. Tadaaaa! I'm still here..

I'm beat.

I need my nappy time.

I need some me time.

Sorry for the extremely boring post. It seems that all I can write about is exams. But then again, nothing much has been going on except for exams. So yeah, bear with me. I'll put up more, er, interesting posts asap.

PS : I'm praying for Katherine to win tomorrow. Mainly because I just don't like Taylor. I just don't. Although he did sing that last song pretty well. I'll give him props for that. Oh well.

Nites. *muax*

I can't believe exams are almost over. It just seems to go on and on and on. By His grace I am surviving. By next Wednesday I'll be getting some actual rest.

I need a break from this. I don't wanna come home and bury myself in my books anymore. Feeling stressed and deprived of sleep is just not for me. Yup yup I'm counting the days till I can snooze all I want.

MIB for the time being.

Wednesday, April 26, 2006

Hey people. Just a little notice here. I will be MIB (Missing In Blogging) for a while. Due to various reasons of course.

The sudden passing of a very close relative has left me pondering on many of life's questions. I just hope in time I'll come to accept them.

My mid-terms are in 2 weeks. I haven't exactly started studying. You'd think a girl would learn her lesson. Apparently not in my case. So yeah, I don't have much time to think of what to blog at the moment. I'll probably continue after my mid-terms. That oh-so-important mid-terms. *shudders*

Currently listening to - "God Will Make A Way" by Don Moen.

Till then, take care and God Bless everyone.

XOXO,

When life throws you a hurdle, you either stop before you reach it or you jump over it.

*****************************

You know, in a few months I'll probably have to make one of the hardest decisions in my life.

(Drum roll please......)

The decision of what I plan to study in the very, very, very near future. Yup, thats my dilemma at the moment. Oh sure, many of you have probably made up your minds about what you want to study ( speaking to those who are at my age), but there are always the exceptional few, like me, who frankly aren't ready to make such a life altering decisions.

When you're an average student, neither excelling nor failing in any subjects, you tend to feel the strain. Believe me, its there. I mean, what can I possibly do? I don't excel in anything. Some people excel in certain subjects whereas I, well, I just.......don't.

So here's the thing. I do try. Really, I do. I want to find something I'm really good at but disappointments just turn up whichever way I turn. Life was so much easier way back in the good ol' days when you just wrote down what was your ambition. Heck, I can still remember the countless number of times I had to fill in forms when I was younger. You know, forms regarding information about yourself and so on. So, many a times I'll stumble across word "AMBITION". Needless to say, I'll just write down these three: doctor, teacher and lawyer.

Oh how naive I was back then. My friends wanted to be doctors, so I wanted to be one as well. Oh btw, I don't think they were thinking much back then either. Hehe.

So everyone wanted to be a doctor. Why not, right? You make loads of money, save lives and live happily ever after. The end. Hehe. Just joking. But back then, did I know that in order to be a doctor I had to study medicine for at least 7 years? No. Did I know that it would cost a huge bomb in my parents' wallet? No. Did I know this? Did I know that? NO. So there you have it, naive little children who didn't know any better just writing down the job they think will make them rich. If life was so easy. But it isn't.

So now here I am, trying to get through my unending pile of homework, somehow find the time to revise, get the amount of sleep I require or else I'm incapable of functioning and yadda yadda. Then comes the bomb that I have to dicide what it is that I plan to take up. I can't just write it down on paper this time and discard it like what I have done countless of times in the past.

Then there's the thing of choosing what kind of doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. that you want to become.

For doctors:

Anaesthetics
General practice
Medicine
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Ophthalmology
Paediatrics
Pathology
Psychiatry
Radiology
Surgery (Including Dental Surgery)


For lawyers:

Attorney
Adoption Lawyer
Appeals Attorney
Auto Accident Lawyer
Aviation Attorney
Bankruptcy Lawyer
Collections Attorney
Constrution Lawyer
Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal Lawyer
Divorce Attorney
DWI Attorney
Estate Planning Lawyer
Franchise Lawyer
Immigration Lawyer
Investment Lawyer
Lemon Lawyer
Litigation Attorney
Maritime Lawyer
Medical Malpractice Attorney
Nursing Home Lawyer
Patent Attorney
Probates
Product Liability Attorney
Tax Lawyer
Trademark Lawyer
Workers Compensation Lawyer
Wrongful Death Lawyer

For engineers:

Environmental
Mechanical
Agricultural
Biomedical
Computer Science
Electrical
Petroleum
Civil
Ceramic
Chemical
Aerospace
Geological
Architectural
Automotive
Mining
Industrial
Transportation
Nuclear
Textile
Marine
Systems


There isn't just ' doctor ' or ' lawyer ' or ' engineer ' anymore. Great. Just great.

The thing is, how will I know if I'm interested in that particular field if I haven't even studied it?
Somebody please give me an answer.

I want to stop cogitating on this matter. But I'll have to face it sooner or later. I prefer sooner.

I'm A Little Outdated. It's Sad.

Wednesday, April 05, 2006

Ok. It's been awhile since I've written anything here. Thanks to my oh so boring life, I just have nothing to blog about.

Thank God I had a fun weekend. I wanted to write this post yesterday but I was so tired that my eyelids were touching the floor already thanks to the lack of sleep over the fun but tiring weekend. No complains though.

I went for my confirmation camp last weekend. Not being a very outgoing person, I have never actually been to one of these overnight camps with friends. Yeah, I am soooooo sad. Don't pity me though. It was fun while it lasted. Met the nicest, funkiest, friendliest people you can ever imagine. Seriously, those people sure can crack you up.

We had many speakers among the other activities the teachers planned. Basically the whole idea of this camp was to deepen our faith in God. Many of the speakers also gave talks on relationships e.g. relationship with parents, friends, God and so on and so forth. There was this guy who talked about how his dad passed away and who he was estranged from his mother. That really got to a few people and we broke down crying. Yes, I did too. It was sooooo sad. *sobs*

Our confirmation group was the first group to create history in that convent. We broke 3 plastic chairs, a flower pot and a light bulb. I have no idea how the guys managed to do break the light bulb...

I wish I had some pictures to post but being Miss Forgetful, I forgot to bring my camera. After reminding myself a gazillion times to bring it. I'm getting old.... Sorry for the boring post but my brain feels so tired and addled at the moment. I'll update soon!

***************************

Part of my confirmation group (Excluding the guy in the black shirt since he's our senior). Love you guys!
Managed to get this pic from William. Thanks Will!
