Thou shalt not complain!

Missed everyone! That's right. Not only have I been missing from my lovely canopee, I've been missing from the face of the earth and Internet. That's because of the exam and also the new apartment which had no Internet connection for nearly 3 weeks. But I'm back now! Alrighty. It's the day before my exam and I'm grossly uneasy. It's that feeling that I get all the time where I'm nervous about the darn exam but at the same time I'm excited because I know it's going to be over very very soon. Tonight, hopefully I'd be knocked out by all the studying (or lack thereof) and wake up in time tomorrow for the god forsaken exam. Then by noon, I'll be done! Hopefully that's the last prelim I'd have to take. *Pray,please god*

When exams are over, I will be free to enjoy what's left of my life and summer. Was chatting with a friend the other day, and we were planning to charter a boat/ship/yacht/submarine out on the lake just for fun. It'd be nice to laze around with friends and sip drinks while we tan. Anyone interested?? Ehem, contact me if you are. Alsooo, I wanna go to Toronto. Be it a road trip straight from Chicago or flying all the way to Buffalo and pit-stopping at Niagara Falls first before making my way there. See, I actually have it all planned out in my head. Though there is nothing concrete planned out on paper nor do I know any details (includes having no idea on how to apply for the Canadian visa), but I could run you through a made-up itinerary that would hopefully excite you. Cause it excites me. All is welcomed!

Because I really should be studying instead of blogging, this post is longer than most of the previous posts. Why? Because of my love of procrastination and also the fact that my head is all jumbled with formulas and attempts to understand weird concepts made up by some cracked-up geniuses decades ago. Sigh.
Enuff for now. Must go back to the pits of hell for now. Ta!

I'm da coming to da DSM

Haru,

Quick update. I'm going to DSM on Friday! Yay!

But arriving like very early Saturday instead. Boo!

Though you people in DSM should still be prepared to be disturbed by me. Yay!

Ok enough, gotta go now. More later.

Weddings weddings weddings

I was going through my Friendster list and I realised many of my friends got married. But I still have yet to attend a wedding! I mean, those which are not family or neighbours or stuff like that. The ones where I personally know the bride/groom and can make fun of them. You see, at this age, when everyone is getting married, I should be complaining of the tonnes of wedding I have to attend. But nooooooo, I have to pester everyone around me to get married. And when they actually do, I can't attend the weddings. If you're in a stable relationship, chances are, I've hinted/suggested/asked/forced you to get married. But no luck so far in getting one around Chicago. I'm not in a relationship now, so don't throw me those "You get married la, then you can attend your own wedding". Hello, I want to attend YOUR wedding, not MINE. I don't want to spend ages planning. I just want to be able to torture the groom with wasabi-laden crackers, soy sauce shots and jalapeno snorts. Then collect some money in return and at night, get to dress up and have dinner on your important night. Sounds fun right?? Someone get married quick!

This is a happier post

Halu all,

It's been a while since I've posted something happy. This may not be a happy post but at least it's not sad. It may be stupid though, no promises.

Remember a while ago I had flying watermelon in my apartment? Well, yesterday I decided I wanted to have a quick meal, so I threw a pack of tong fun (or su-un), some vege and some meat into a pot of broth and wala...a meal. Then as I was happily balancing the big bowl in one hand, a plate of chili and a container of leftovers in another, I walked over to my desk/dinner table/coffee table/shelf/utilities table/anything you can think of. I was nearly nearly nearly there when the plate with chili decides to give way and plopped on my cream colored carpet. If watermelon stains weren't bad enough, now I had to get rid of chili stains. So much of Fantastik went on the carpet again. Aih. It's still slightly pinkish but it doesn't look like someone died here anymore though. Or at least it looks like a badly cleaned up crime scene now instead of a fresh one. I'm clumsy, I know.

Soooo anyway, I'm blogging because I want to escape from studying. Haha, yes, I blog to escape. From anything I don't want to do. Yeap. And after Wednesday, its either I'll put up a barrage of entries or there will be none for a very long time. I want to put up pictures but I'm still waiting for them from my friends here. Cannot hint on my blog cause they don't know about it. I will make sure I hint big big on MSN later. Oh well.

BTW, if you guys are thinking that I'm suffering big time in Chicago from the previous entries, I'm not. I was actually really enjoying it till like a month ago when work became busier and exams came close. And now I'm quarantined till when the exam is over. Then I will hopefully be able to enjoy what's left of summer. As I've said above, I blog to escape but then I don't blog to escape from good times, so not much good things here. I will do that soon when I'm free. But then when I'm free I want to go out and play, so hence the dilemma you see. Just want to leave a note that I'm fine and dandy again for now. But when I hit rough patches, I will blog 5 liners and get everyone thinking that I might commit suicide in a blink of an eye. Till then, tata!

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!

back online!

Hi,

I've not been posting because I didn't have internet in my apartment for the past week. I think I had some withdrawal syndromes, but nothing major since I could still surf at work. Which I actually try to do minimally. So if I don't reply msgs at work, its not cause I don't like you, its cause I just try not to. Or maybe I really don't like you. Oh well.

Anyway, my apartment is still sort of bare, but its getting better. Was suppose to get a coffee table this weekend, but I'm just too lazy today, so maybe next week. I gotta get out and take a walk cause its so pretty outside. Very sunny and finally warm. I can't wait for actual spring weather! La la la. Anyhoo, so, yeah. I don't have much to say yet, but soon, I may come up with a post so long that your eyes glaze over just looking at it. But not now. Now, its gonna be a short one which ends here. Or here.

No, here.

If I am god, then

I want things to get better now. Right now!

Mr. Bean = Torture

I don't think watching a movie have ever been this torturous. Ever. I mean, I've sat through some pretty bad movie before. But never was it as bad as Mr. Bean - The Holiday. Not being an avid fan of Mr. Bean, I was forced (literally) to watch it, but I never did I expect it to be that unpleasant of an experience. Though I must say, a lot of people found it hilarious, especially this 3 people that was sitting next to me. They started laughing even before most of the supposed funny parts. I guess some people just love his brand of slapstick humor. I hate slapstick. Yeap. And this post does not do any justice for my suffering last night. But, I hope you get the idea.

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.

Annoyed, very

Something happened just awhile ago, and it made me think of the kind of people that annoy me. People who are spoilt, and expects everyone to spoil them too. Don't get me wrong, I am not jealous or pissed at spoilt people. I have plenty of spoilt friends (not in a bad way), and I think they are lucky. I have no problems with them at all. I start having a problem when they expect me to spoil them and give in to their every whim. I get incredibly annoyed when they say whatever they want, whenever they want, and worst of all, when they feel threatened, their best defense is to lash out at you. What gets me the most is, when people thinks that the world revolves around them and that they are the best. These people are extremely competitive and are also sore losers. They try to paint a beautiful picture of themselves, showing that they are nice, but more often than not, they do this at the expense of others. Pushing blame and lying. Oh yes lying, they are also the best liars I've known. Fools everyone. Until you get to know them better.

I know this kind of entry will get most people reading it to think "Is she talking about me?". If you want to know, ask me. I'll tell you. But I don't think the people I'm talking about reads my blog. And trust me, I'll be truthful and honest with you. I'm very annoyed just thinking about some of the things that have happened. And when I am annoyed, people can tell. I don't like to pretend to be nice to everyone when I, in fact don't like them. If I have a problem with you, most probably, you'll know it. But once this problem is solved, then all with be fine again. I prefer that over pretending to be nice and friendly, but hate the person and complain to everyone behind his/her back. I don't think I get pissed off easily (though some may disagree), and its not hard for me to let it go either, most of the time. Ok, after typing for so long, now I'm bored and no longer that annoyed. See, I get over it pretty fast.

I have an announcement.........

I can finally bend over and touch my toes!!!!

Ok la, I can hear the laughter and fat jokes already. But really, I don't think I could do that since I was 15 maybe. Then yesterday, I thought I'd try...and I could! This means a lot ok. It means, that yoga and pilates helps. Maybe next time I could do those headstands. Ok don't laugh. Shheeh.

This is worthy of an announcement cause my sister and even my mum could do it. Then my sister declared me to be super stiff. But no more!! I can touch my toes!! Maybe after a few more classes, I bend over entirely and have my nose touch my knees like the instructor! I said stop laughing!!

=p

Ta!

Fatso

I think I'm having a mid-holiday crisis. Which is when I've come to realise that my holiday is about to end. And I have to slave off the rest of my life. Or hopefully a rich charming man would come sweep me off my feet and I don't have to do anything I don't want anymore. On top of that, everyone seems concerned that I would gain weight during my holiday. I say would, not has ok.

Concern friend (CF) 1 : Eh, don't eat so much. Later fat ar.
Me : That's my first bite ><><

C Family : When I saw you, I thought you lost weight.
Me : Really? :)
CFam : Yeah, then I realised it was your sister.
Me : (stupid), err...so..I didn't lose weight la?
CFam : Actually hor, I think you gained weight lor.
Me : Argh.

Me : I'm hungry. Can you get me some food?
CF 4 : Its after 10pm. You shouldn't eat.
Me : But I'm hungry :( *pathetic, sad look*
CF 4 : You don't need the food, look, you have extras *poke*, see..*poke*
Me :....Go away.

Takkan I don't eat Malaysian food right?? I've been craving it for months, no wait, for more than a year! But then I also refuse to look like a dumpling. How??? Oh, I am also very lazy. Pig mar. My year, gotta enjoy it.

I lost my template ><

I just realised that my blog was not using the new drag and drop template, so I upgraded to the newer version. But that caused the older template to go haywire, and in the end, I had to use a new one. I don'd like the fact that the new one is so.....white. Its the best I can do for now. Will fiddle with it more later. I liked my beachy template better. Sigh.

On pictures

You know, I was going to post most of the St. Louis pics up. But really la, it just takes too long. And won't that turn this into a photo blog? Then people will skip whatever I say and just go take the pictures. Dowan! Cannot liddat. Must read what I say ok. Darn it. Later la more pictures. I will spread it out so people will read. Gaaaah.
