I'm back!

I did not abandon my blog. I was just, urm, caught up with other stuff. I blame exams.

Anyhoo, been traveling quite a bit until recently and that has really wreaked havoc on my studying. Had been trying to stay home and study lately, but that has proved to be rather unsuccessfully though. Last night, while we were out with some friends, the remarks were like "I'm so glad you finally came out tonight!" or "So how was the exam?", which I would sheepishly reply, "Urm, its on October 30th." and then I'll get the confused look. Most of them have no idea what I do, or what I'm studying for. They must be thinking I'm really really slow for needing to study so many months ahead for an exam. Maybe I am. Sigh. But really, sigh, why do we succumb ourselves to this torture? *Just a couple more to go*

So, I was in Toronto during Labor Day weekend and that is one more country crossed out of my to-visit list! Next up, Vancouver, since I already have the Canadian visa. Must do it soon as it only lasts for one year. And I'm thinking what should I do for Christmas this year. (Already have some vague plans for Thanksgiving and if you're interested, you're invited too! Involves turkey and people. Good?) Would love to go to some islands or beaches, but then it would surely cost me an arm and a leg (and maybe a torso) during that period. What to do??

And I know I'm a bit slow, but its better than never right? Ok, I love Karen Cheng's blog! I don't really know why. Can't relate to her much, but then, it's enjoyable to read her blog. Again, I don't know why. So, here, me doing the Karen Cheng. In Boston.

Man U yay!

Ok, this post has nothing to do with Man U or football. I just had to harp it.

I'm listening to BassAgents while typing this post. So hard to sit quietly and blog. I usually don't like hard dance like this, but this I actually quite likey. Damn noisy, hope my neighbours don't mind. Ok, this can be ignored too cause it has nothing to do with this post actually.

What is this post about? I have no idea yet. I just felt like I needed to write something. To keep those 6 ppl, in Msia, Uk and somewhere in Europe updated. Though I have a feeling not all 6 reads, but some will read and tell the others, so ok la. Hopefully.

*Edit*
So initially I had nothing to write about but now I do. SO, after taking a nice shower and deciding I should have watermelon followed by an awesome Baileys milkshake, I walk into the kitchen and grabbed the box of watermelon. I was walking out, busy stabbing at one of the pieces when the opened box hit the wardrobe door and the whole thing fell. 5 pieces of watermelon went flying on my cream colored carpet. I wanted to cry. It looked like someone had been stabbed a few gazillion times and left to die in my apartment. And I brilliantly tried to clean it by spraying loads of Fantastik on it while pouring water and frantically putting Bounty all over the stains. I hope it works. As of now, it's still wet so I can't tell. Please let it be normal again *prays*.

Trust me to give you stupid acts like this. Argh.

June, please come.

Haven't been updating much at all lately. But now I am, so la la la.

Anyway, I've recently decided that I need a mp3 player. Badly. Cause my comp at work doesn't have the soundcard driver installed due to a bunch of reasons. So it gets boring plus it will help block out sounds when I'm doing my FAP modules (non-actsci, it's exam related). So, I went researching online and fell in love with the iRiver Clix2. One bad thing is that the 8gb version will only be released in June. I need it now!!! What will I do till June?? I'm not too keen on buying an Ipod, but if I'm desperate, should I? But I like the iRiver aloooot. AAAHHH. Dilemma.

On other notes, I wanna talk about my apartment. Ok, just the location for now. Right across of the building is......the Playboy headquarters! Yes, it is. I have been keeping a lookout for their models but no luck so far. Hehe...bet more of you wanna come visit me now huh. And right beside, blocking 50% of my beautiful lakeview is a hotel. I have full view of a lot of the rooms. One night, I was standing at the window and looking across, I was curious if I can see any hanky panky going on. But there was none. Till now, I haven't seen anyone that has forgotten to pull the blinds down. Hehe. Oh well. I do not spy or stalk ok. And down the street, there's a hospital really nearby. Just in case of an emergency, it'll be really close.

I was told that the pool in my building overlooks the lake. One day, I shall check it out. Okie, enough for now. Ta!

What I have done in Chicago thus far

Nothing.

Besides look for an apartment, I've spent most of my time in the hotel. One huge reason is due to the fact that I think its cold outside. So far, I've ventured out only to get food, look for an apartment, and meet up with a friend. Yeap, thats it. For three days. And I spent a lot of moolah online yesterday to make my apartment decent. I kept reminding myself to be thrifty and what not, but I just kept buying more and more. I love to be comfortable and cosy in my own place and thus a barebones apartment will just not cut it for me. But whats been deterring me from spending a fortune is that I don't actually have a fortune. Duh. Oh well.

On to other territories, I think that between last year and this year, I know a lot of people (myself included) who had hit some bad turf. Its probably due to our life changes, and I guess it is part of growing up. More often than not, we will all dwell in it and at that moment, it seems like its not worth it to be doing what we've been doing all this while. I can't say for sure that we will all survive every depressing moment and come out on the very top the next second, like how you see in movies. What I can say is that when things get rough, you can count on your friends to be there for you. They may not be able to pull you up, but sometimes, just knowing that you have their support can be good enough. I know that I'm not the best listener nor do I have a lot of time to spare, but I do sincerely want my friends to know that when it matters, they can count on me. Ok, sappy and unrelated, I know. I just had to say it.

So, anyway, I need to shower. Bye.

Paint taste bitter apparently

Yesterday, I accomplished one more item on my list of to-do's. I played paintball! It was fun but painful. I have a bruise the size of a golfball on my right thigh now and it still hurts when I touch it. Though I must say I came home relatively paint-less cause the pellet that hit my thigh did not break, and I got one head shot (this sucks, cause one minute you're all fine and dandy, and the next all you see is orange paint). I would definitely do this again, but maybe by the time I play again, I hope that there are cheaper and lighter markers for the weak, like me. After the paintball session though, I have a better understanding of how in action films, the hero always escapes unhurt with so many people shooting at her/him. It is cause those extras (keh leh feh) probably shoot like me, and thus, the hero could easily dodge the bullets. I mean, the more they aim, the more likely it is to miss, so that's why. Yala, I know this is crap. But my blog, I suka.

Someone please stop me

I am going broke. Very broke.

Ever since coming back to Malaysia, I have been complaining that everything is so expensive. But, when it comes to clothes, I will then convert it to USD, and deem it cheap. Then buy. Muahaha. Though I think that has gone too far and I think I have been buying too much. Let's see,

1) 5 pairs of shoes (inclusive of 2 sandals, 1 heels and 2 peep toes)
2) Gym clothes (don't laugh) - 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops
3) Skirts - 2 (pairs?)
4) 1 dress
5) I don't know where to begin to count how many tops
6) 1 pair of jeans
7) Numerous accessories
8) 1 huge bag
9) Make-up (I bought so much from Ettusais that they gave me a red travelling bag)
10) 1 pair of pants

And all that is not inclusive of the

1) 1 wool coat
2) Stuff I bought while in London & Paris - admittedly not too much at all
3) 1 perfume set
4) 1 pair of boots
5) 1 top only

That's in the span of 3 months? Oh gosh. Someone stop me. Please.

I also have that vacation that I went for on top of the bills. But because those people at the resort forgot to charge me for 70% of the bill (though I tried to pay it off many times!), I sorta got a deal. Even while I'm typing out this post, I am already thinking of what else do I need to buy for myself. And my mum is calling me already cause we are going to pick up one of the skirts that I have recently bought. I am not a shopaholic. I am not. I hope not.

One more week!

I can't wait for my beach vacation! I have been so deprived..but no more! Soon I will bask in the sun, and swim amongst the colorful fishes. I hope I get to spot some small (and hopefully harmless) sharks and turtles too! And to top it all off, the place has an infinity pool!!!! I love infinity pools! I've never swam in one, so this would be my first...and it better be awesome. As you can tell with the exclamation marks, I am excited. Yes I am. Wahahaha.... :p

Infinity pool, yes, they have.

The water is so clear!

Can you feel the serenity?

I am in love with the island even before I've ever been there. I hope its as beautiful as the pictures. No, I hope its even better. If they have a hammock, I may fall so deeply in love with the place that I never come back. Ok, maybe they need more than a hammock. An incredibly cute guy would help too.

i hate titles

There are so many things that I planned/wanted to do when I came back to Malaysia. But as most of you would know, I forget easily. And thus, when I am home with nothing to do, it doesn't once occur to me to look up for the list of things that I had wanted to do. So, to make it easier and to solidify things, I will put the list here, and if anyone is interested, we can do it together!

Wanted list:
1) To go for paintball sessions
2) Play futsal occasionally
3) Play netball, even once is enough
4) Go for a spa treatment (massage, treatment, manicures...the whole deal)
5) Go for a swim
6) Lay at the beach
7) Visit a place I haven't been to in Malaysia
8) Watch a play
9) Club hopping
10) Go for a wedding (someone please get married and invite me)

Things that I have done/tried and want more:
1) Rock climbing (its actually quite fun)
2) Yoga (this actually hurts...the next day)
3) Yum cha (the more the better)
4) Bowling (I suck, and I have yet to pass the 100 mark)
5) Shopping
6) CNY!!!

The lists seem a little shorter than I had expected. I will edit this when I have more. I actually have one more list, and that's the list of things that I HAVE to do..and thats the not fun stuff. Argh. Dowan to post that la.
Oh lately, I bought myself this really big bag, well, big for me that is, and I've been lugging it around everywhere. I termed it "aunty bag" when I was looking around for one, and thats what my mum and sister been calling it. Whenever I go out with them, everything gets chucked with me because of my big bag. Its actually really quite big. I don't have enough things to put in there and because of that, looking for my phone is a damn big chore everytime. I always panic and think that I have lost it, and make others call it, but only to find it in the bag...somewhere. But, the space should come in handy when I start working right? Right?
