Haha this is so cool!

新年快乐！

2012-01-25T01:31:00.000+08:00

I hope that life's treating everyone good :)

新的一年，新的开始~

I had a bit of a bumpy ride not too long ago, but all's well now I hope. The dragon year has arrived at long last! Meaning that my bunny year t-shirt will go out of style haha. I like that shirt with the 12 zodiac illustrations and glittering, gold bunnies. I like rabbits a lot! They're cute, cuddly and small. I like the way they twitch their noses and hop about. But the fact that they eat their poop kinda disgusts me even though it's natural for them.

Anyway I hope that this year will be a good year for my academics, my finances and love life. May there be lots of shopping that I need not pay for this year!

I just started my CNY shopping and I must say that I still haven't had enough of it! Oops? xD Yeah I'm getting greedy. Give me a penny and I'll want a pound. I'm only human! I have urges, and they are whispering in my ears all the time "Go shop go shop!".

I will make lots of money in future to cater to my shopping addiction. I am proud to say that despite my love for shopping, I still manage to save up a little. At least I won't have a zero balance bank account, or owe others money. I just live by that principle and life will be good.

But I think that I have to stop following all the technology and gadget news already. Those smartphones, laptops and tablets are looking more appealing the more I research on them. I want them all!!! NOOO!!! I feel like getting a tablet for reading e-books and surfing the internet. BUT. NO. I CAN'T. AND I WON'T. The Asus Transformer Prime looks awesome but the Kindle Fire comes with an attractive price tag.

Stop thinking about it!

This year I will charge ahead full force in my studies! I will strive to be the best and maintain my results. Though that will be kinda challenging seeing that I scored a perfect CGPA xD Okay perasan time over. Now I'm gonna be serious and list down what I expect of myself for this year.

I will be like a sponge and absorb everything! Every single piece of information and knowledge that is helpful for my future, that is!
I will take extra initiative and learn more about sustainable and green buildings and renewable energy, since I intend to make it my specialization.
I will look up things that are new to me and not just ignore the words as I read them. Mustn't continue that bad habit!

Just those 3. If I can follow through those 3 things, I will have done something already.

加油 to everyone!! Me especially!!!

泪光闪烁

I love this song ♥

夜从天空悄悄滑落

任性地划着伤口

是谁呢痛得那么沉默

我以为把幸福上锁

能紧紧守护承诺

是谁呢把窗推开风卷走了爱

为你哭的泪每一颗闪烁

坚定的路途也走得颠簸

头也不回义无反顾从不后悔深爱过

为你笑的泪每一颗闪烁

‘Cause I love you so

最美的爱不是紧握我们曾拥有

夜从天空悄悄滑落

任性地划着伤口

是谁呢痛得那么沉默

我以为把幸福上锁

能紧紧守护承诺

是谁呢把窗推开风卷走了爱

为你哭的泪每一颗闪烁

坚定的路途也走得颠簸

头也不回义无反顾从不后悔深爱过

为你笑的泪每一颗闪烁

‘Cause I love you so

最美的爱不是紧握我们曾拥有

当心跌碎了以后

我还努力拼凑你给的梦

为你哭的泪每一颗闪烁

坚定的路途也走得颠簸

头也不回义无反顾从不后悔深深爱过

为你笑的泪每一颗闪烁

‘Cause I love you so

最美的爱不是紧握我们曾拥有

开心或伤心也好，日子还是会一样的过去～

Trust me, I try not to be overly demanding. But what's a new year without new things, new thoughts and new experiences? Here's how I mapped out my emotional journey through life.

What I want of life right now is to make my own mistakes, explore the world, learn new things, seek new life adventures, and eventually grow as a person. I want to experience the ups and downs of it -- every single moment I am entitled to. I yearn to know desolateness, joy, fury and passion better, so I can welcome them as old friends when we meet once more. I want to be swept away by my emotions and cling on to my spring days for as long as possible. I crave the youth I am so desperately afraid of losing now. The years are catching up on me, and the balding patch on my head is there to remind me of it every single day.

I want to be the person I envisioned myself to be. Independent, strong-willed, determined and successful. I am still a long way from there, but I'm working on it. I will spread my wings and soar, not away from the life I love, but towards the future I dream of. For once, I want to be selfish and do everything solely for myself, without having to consider about the consequences of my actions. I'm living my life for me, and I'm only young once. Springtime doesn't last forever.

I have ambition, and I have hopes yet to be realised. Only time can tell where I'll go, but where I am right now feels right to me.

谢谢你们爱我的每个人

这首歌好感人，超有意思！我觉得自己再怎样也不会像 Selina 一样坚强。她的经历真的好让人心疼。这种事情不该在任何人的身上发生的。但她可以勇敢的走出逆境，就单凭这一点我已经好佩服她了……

Selina 如今已出嫁，幸福快乐了。我替她感到非常高兴！人经历过挫折就会真正懂得珍惜幸福。彩虹总在雨后出现!

Selina 的体验教了我几个人生大道理。我要向她学习如何在那么恶劣的环境下坚强、勇敢及努力重生。我要学习她在面对挫折时的意志力和奋斗精神。我得为我以下的人生而加油！

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-27T01:27:00.000+08:00

I had a great week :)

Last Friday there was a gift exchange event at my office, and it was pretty fun! I got a beautiful Lamy Scribble mechanical pencil! Woots! It looks and feels great, and people were clamouring to exchange their gifts with me. But it's sitting comfortably in my room now hehe!

I have managed to complete 2 drawings on Friday alone! My speed is increasing, and I'm aiming for higher. Heehee~

Latest happenings

2011-12-21T23:31:00.000+08:00

Woots, September baby! :)

***

I'm doing an internship at an architectural/interior design firm at KL. It's my second week and 7th day there as of today! I'm getting in a lot of exercise and life's great, seriously. Taking the LRT to and fro from work is doing wonders for my stamina (and in due time, my legs, I hope!) and I hope to be fit and trim in no time! I can't wait to bid goodbye to my flabby thighs...maybe I should always take the stairs from now onwards. Hmm.

The best part of working life is you don't bring home any work! As soon as I step foot into my house, a wave of relief, contentment, relaxation and joy envelopes me all at once. It's amazing, really. When I was in college coming home meant little to me. Thoughts like "Shucks. No time for a nap." or "Crap! Submission is in a couple of days and I've only gotten THIS far?!" flash through my mind and they are immediately followed by resentment and anxiety, which almost always makes me bad tempered.

To cope with my internship, I sacrificed my part time tuition teaching job. I would miss it, but the experience I'm getting right now is to kill for. How many first semester students are as lucky as me (or as self motivated as I am -- and no matter how conceited that sounds, it is true to a certain extent) to actually find and get an internship? Not many. My classmates are either busy enjoying life or working to earn extra pocket money. But not me. I am "wise and humble", "industrious", "knowledgeable beyond my years" and "inspiring" after all! There goes my carefully concocted humility.

I'm getting PAID to learn AutoCAD, can you believe that? How awesome is it? But the work I do is tiring and extremely time consuming. I took 2 days average to complete an A1 plan at first, but now I'm getting my speed to around 1 day per drawing! I feel so pleased with my accomplishment.

Nevertheless, I know I could achieve more if I put my heart to it. I dawdle a lot in office, aimlessly browsing through my mobile Facebook app and checking my emails every hour or so. Haha I need to buck up man. I'm determined to make working life agree with me. We'll wait and see :)

Things on Facebook that irk me

2011-12-10T02:27:00.004+08:00

Incessant ad postings on my feed.

What are friends for? To help you click advertorials so you can earn more money, apparently. It's so good to exist for a purpose. I'm touched :')

Gruesome photos of exposed internal organs.

Save it. I don't see the point of sharing photos of accident victims. I log onto Facebook to relax and get a good laugh now and then, not to get grossed out by your gory photo postings. And there is no prove that by sharing such photos, you are helping those poor souls get donations for surgeries. Don't be such gullible fools. If you really have the heart to help, you'd volunteer at a shelter or organise fundraisers instead. These pathetic, misguided attempts at lending assistance to others ARE NOT WORKING. Again, save it.

Creepy photos of ghastly creatures that exist purely to give you nightmares.

Don't be so inconsiderate. You might give people heart attacks. I'm sure you do not want to be held accountable for their deaths.

My Birthday Calendar

What a blatant way to express how little you care for your friends. If it takes a calendar reminder for you to wish me happy birthday, I'd rather you didn't wish me at all. What happened to the traditional you're-so-special-that-I-made-the-effort-to-remember-your-birthday practice? Gone with the wind, apparently.

I may seem like a cynic here but I am in fact very, very annoyed and am merely seeking an outlet to vent my frustration. Do pardon me. And if you happen to have committed the aforementioned crimes in your lifetime, it is not too late to feel remorseful and promise to not do it again. Just saying.

My Holiday Goals

...to be continued.

My new blog header

2011-12-05T23:21:00.005+08:00

It's been a while since I did anything with my blog, so I thought, why not?

My blog now showcases a new header that is both symbolic and meaningful to me. I have come a long way since high school graduation. This is a journey that I have made by my own choice; though how it turned out to be a never-ending uphill climb that I had never anticipated (not even in my wildest dreams!), I couldn't possibly know. Who would know what surprises life has in store for us?

Difficult as it may be, tough as it seems, it has been a major life lesson for me.

I learned that things are only gonna get harder, more challenging. That if events are to take a turn for the worse, they will.

I learned that no matter how hard I try, it is never gonna be enough.

I learned that one can only do so much.

And I learned that perseverance and diligence does get you somewhere. That if you push ahead and not give up, it is not a wasted effort.

And I survive by clinging on to the thread of hope that someday, when I cross the mountain, things will get better.

I'm trudging up, and however slow it appears to be, the knowledge that I'm moving forward and getting somewhere is still somewhat comforting to me. Here's to the end of the most demanding semester I've been through, and another league of my journey!

Plans plans plans

2011-11-26T02:06:00.004+08:00

I love them, I'm addicted to planning, and I swear by to-do lists.

But recently I'm swamped over by the amount of planning I need to do. It is much easier when you have a million things unchecked, because all you need to do then is to decide which to do first. But when you are facing the expanse of a 3 month holiday in front of you, things become different. To some people it doesn't matter, but to me, it should.

How many holidays have I let slip by, not being able to accomplish what I envisioned? I really hope not to make that mistake again. So far the first 3 days of my holidays were fairly productive, and I am immensely pleased with what I have achieved thus far. But I have this nagging feeling that the productivity won't last, and I really do dread that.

I've been sending out applications for part time jobs in hope of landing something that could fund my shopping addiction. I'm pretty broke now and my bank account balance has decreased drastically. That isn't comforting. And the fact that I won't be having any income for the month of November does not do much to cheer my spirits. But I am glad I took one month off -- I really am. It gave me time to focus on my studies and channel everything I have into it. I never noticed before, but I do now, that one day really makes a difference. Having a Saturday free really gives me a lot more freedom. But I like my job (just maybe not when I'm overwhelmed with assignments, deadlines and my hair loss problem, but more of that later) and I need the paycheck.

Now that I've been financially independent (in terms of shopping and my personal purchases only, haha! I still rely on my parents to feed me and fund my educational expenses which is more than I earn each month sometimes) it will really kill me to beg for shopping money. And they shouldn't even give it to me anyway. So I hope, wish and pray that I could get any kind of part time jobs. Who wants to learn to play the piano? I'm patient, nice and free. And I have coached a student from a fail to a merit (Grade 3).

I plan to purchase an instrument too in due time. Everything does revolve around money, sadly. I am determined to make it big in future so financial matters will no longer be a hindrance for me. We'll see :)

Have a great weekend! I will be enjoying myself for sure ;)

External Review Checked, Completed and Done With!

2011-11-24T16:27:00.002+08:00

Each time I post, my semester has came to an end. Well there you go, the hectic life of an Interior Architecture student. My 3 month holidays has just begun, and my initial excitement wore off pretty quickly. After our final drawing submission on Tuesday morning, I went out with ze collegemates for a hardcore karaoke session. Guess what? We sang for so long that we got tired of it and left early. A total first for me.

Yesterday was pretty relaxing. I just started playing The Sims Social! It was on the top of my holiday to-do list. Other things I'd checked yesterday is preparing my resume for my internship application, which I'm still crossing my fingers about. Chances aren't quite likely but if you don't try, you'll never know right? I'm taking my chances.

Today was more eventful. I mapped out my plans for December already, settling my class schedules and taking a trip to bandroom and the library. The 2009 concert video makes me feel nostalgic. And as a result of my trips today, I now have a purpose in life. A direction. Something to do! JOY!

I guess I just can't sit still and not do anything. Virgos and their high expectations of themselves, tsk tsk. But to make my quest for relaxation easier, I have borrowed a dozen Danielle Steel books from the library! 12 books for me to slowly devour. Mmmm-hmmmm :)

My holidays are looking up! :D

Toodles~

External Review - The Finale

2011-07-15T20:53:00.003+08:00

And this marks the end of my foundation year.

I feel relieved, but there is a certain void in my life now. I'm super eager to start my degree and begin my new phase of life! :D

I wanna go shopping...

2011-05-12T21:37:00.000+08:00

So, so badly.

Shopping is very relaxing and de-stressing. However it is a very expensive hobby.

Still, I deserve a treat after my strenuous and stressful "group" project. I hate group work now. Not everyone will be doing their fair share in group work, and it is very unfair for people like me who somehow always end up doing everything.

This is my last semester in foundation anyway! Then I'll be moving on to my degree nyahaha! Which is hopefully less stressful than foundation. I've never been this busy before. The workload is crazily insane.

SPM and foundation in built environment (mainly the design module) is SO different. To me, SPM = last minute cramming and daily slacking. Foundation = consistency and last minute studying (for some subjects). The transition is so abrupt that I still can't really find my feet at times.

Tomorrow is submission day! I hope I can get good marks for this assignment :)

Fingers crossed!

Back on the treadmill.

2011-05-11T01:32:00.004+08:00

No time to relax.

Too much on my plate.

Deadlines.

Barely a month into the semester, I'm already overwhelmed. It won't get better -- I've lied to myself enough times to realise that.

Still, I'm gonna work hard and collect my 'A's. Oh yeah~

Btw, I have an ugly disfiguring cold sore right now. I'll tell you what caused it -- stress.

And I have a totally unreliable group member whom I have to cover for. Added workload.

Yippee. My life's real great.

But, I am so thankful that I am not a group leader for the next project. I really need a break, albeit a short one. Nights!

My camera is back!

2011-04-29T23:11:00.003+08:00

Wheeeee~ I love my darling camera :D

I only use point-and-shoot digital cameras because I'm a total noob case when it comes to cameras. Also, I don't really see the point of using DSLRs when I can't operate them. My camera is light, sturdy and functions really well for me, so I'm very very happy with it. I purchased it last year for RM299 so well, what's there to complain?

The only things that I wish could be improved is the zoom. 4x zoom is not enough! And an additional image stabiliser during maximum zoom would be very helpful. The focusing time for maximum zoom is very long, so by the time its ready to shoot, my lecturer would probably flick to the next slide.

Don't know what I'm talking about?

At Limkokwing, the lecturers don't always give you slides from lectures. If you get black and white printouts or soft copies from the student portal, you can consider yourself lucky. Seriously. And it is so rare that you'll get them! So I depend alot on my trusty camera :)

The video is actually not bad, but you can't zoom in and out during recording time :'(

Well, it definitely does not do HD videos or anything since it is an old model. But I like how light it feels. Pocket sized and compact, you can easily fall in love with this Panasonic Lumix DMC-F2!

EMO.

2011-04-27T22:38:00.003+08:00

I woke up extra early for today's class to search for my missing notebook relating to today's Building Technology and Concepts class.

I brought along my super thick building construction textbook.

I brought all my previous semester's lecture slides.

And class was cancelled.

How do you think I feel?

Bonjour, Semester 3~

2011-04-24T00:34:00.002+08:00

Well, so much for my break. I'm resuming my hectic lifestyle again. Truth be told, I don't miss it. I wish I were on my holiday break again though...

I have to write a 300 word essay and do some research on a traditional Malacca Malay House.

And complete my syllabus planning as well as start my June notes if I want to meet the deadline. Ahh! Tasks, deadlines, responsibilities!

And next week I have my makeup class scheduled. Busy busy. But its pretty fun, so I'm not complaining ;)

Also, I am gonna use my Groupon voucher for the grilled international cuisine next week. It sounds scrumptious and I have yet to try it yet! Actually my life isn't that bad, just that I'm super busy. Well for now I can deal with it, so I'll do just that.

Okay, that's all for now~ Nights, all!

My Semester Break

2011-04-19T00:59:00.002+08:00

Was absolutely fab!!! I spent 3 days of my holidays at Miaw's place and we had tons of fun shopping, karaoke-ing and hanging out. Its awesome hanging out with your bestie! Especially one you've known for a decade ;D

I took to heart the phrase "Work hard, play hard". I am still feeling very much unrested! My semester break was absolutely exhausting despite the fact that I had spent zero time on assignments or studies.

I absolutely love shopping. I can shop as long as I earn enough money for it! And online shopping is the craze right now.

Here's a list of sites I highly recommend:

http://lajoie-closet.blogspot.com/ (awesome bags!!)
http://www.groupsmore.com/ (great savings and deals!!)
http://milkadeal.com (same as above)
http://www.dealmates.com.my (same as above)

La Joie Closet retails affordable and reasonably priced bags. Great since I really hate blogshops that sell overpriced stuff. Those are total rip offs man. I could tell you of some I know. They charge RM100 for an average quality bag that isn't even very nice to begin with, and clothes that you can purchase for far less at departmental stores. I wish that more blogshops were more ethical in doing their businesses.

Anyway, moving on, Groupsmore is my favourite group buying site! I have tried a number of deals with them and it was really good. RM10 for a plate of carbonara, soup and egg salad! Divine.

Oh, and RM50 for a makeup course! I still have 2 more sessions to attend, since RM50 is for SIX hours of lessons. We use quality products too, which make it more worth it. I've learned basic skincare regimes from my first lesson which most people think they know but end up doing it all wrong anyway. The next lesson will be focusing on matching makeup colours! That'll be fun :)

So that was what I did during my holidays. I have purchased another deal for a grilled international cuisine. I paid RM50 for RM100 value of food. My dear and I can eat to our heart's content~ The photos of the food already make my mouth water!

Oh, and Lowyat's RedBox's service is atrocious. One visit is enough for me. Arrogant and cocky waiters are such dampers! Can't tolerate them.

Okay, so that's it for now~ I shall update more when my 3rd semester begins on Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Au revoir, Foundation 2!

2011-04-11T01:40:00.004+08:00

My presentation board!

The fruits of my labour. What do you think?

If its anything negative I'd rather not know, thank you very much xD

I'd be crushed after all the effort I've put in. Save your critiques for next time maybe?

The review went okay, some people liked it, some people didn't. But that's fine with me. I put in effort, and that's all that matters. I learned how to use Photoshop and created my entire portfolio and presentation board using that software. I feel very accomplished, despite my lack of rest. I strive for perfection, and I am happy that I have made a significant step towards it.

That's all that should matter. No matter what the results are, I know that I tried. And having put in your all -- you won't regret that. Semester 2 of my foundation year is extremely challenging as opposed to my free and easy semester 1. I have one more semester to go before I enter my degree. After this week of holidays, I know that will be up for it!

***

I went shopping today! What a happy way to start my holidays~

Actually my holidays began yesterday but since I work on Saturdays it doesn't really count for me :P

My shopping trip was very, very fruitful.

My boyfriend accompanied me as I tottered in and out of shops, stared at clothes for ages, entered and exited dressing rooms and scrutinized them for any microscopic flaws . I admire his patience and I love him for being able to put up with me and my indecisiveness. He has pretty good taste in clothes too, which makes him a great shopping partner. I am one lucky girl! Heehee~

I made quite a number of purchases, and they included plenty of earrings. I have so many pairs of them now that I have lost count. However many of my earrings went missing because I totally suck at organizing my accessories. That's kinda sad :( I guess I'll have to restock then!

We also had a fantabulous lunch at Sushi Zanmai. It was heavenly. Zanmai defines sushi. Your taste buds will be spoilt with the variety of food available and the explosion of flavours. I love good food. But my appetite has dwindled slightly. I can't eat as much as before now and what a waste it was this afternoon...

But I'm sure that there will be a next time! :)

So that's still okay.

Am looking forward to tomorrow, where I will be making another shopping trip with Miaw. Whee~ Actually, the whole week ahead is gonna be great! It could be better though if my camera didn't break down yesterday (I blame it on dad -- it was alright when I used it!) and had to be sent for repairs YET AGAIN. Sheesh that's a real downer. I can't capture snapshots of my great week ahead :///

Anyway, I'll update soon! My bed is calling for me now ;)

眼泪成诗 - 孙燕姿

2011-04-09T00:01:00.002+08:00

我已经
已经把我伤口化作玫瑰
我的泪水
已经变成雨水早已轮回
我已经
已经把对白留成了永远
忘了天色
究竟是黑是灰

分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你再回味
字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

我已经
已经把绝情变成了恭维
因为不配
你就忽然自卑说声失陪
我已经
已经把沉默变成了忏悔
无路可退
只能无言以对

分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你在回味
字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已是无所谓
让你再回味
字不醉人人自醉
你的品位总是美

回忆总是美。

Bittersweet feelings -- we smile at the bitter moments we've been through, yet we tear at those happy memories.

The irony of life.

***

I can relate to this song. It is melancholic and somewhat wistful. And everyone can identify with those feelings. I really like it very much, and its good to listen when I'm feeling down. Like now. Because I lost myself a good portion of marks in a question I KNOW THE ANSWER TO by forgetting to pen down my final answer. God save me.

Actually I am pretty certain that I can score at least 80% already but I am soooo close to getting a near perfect score. I am rather disappointed and very regretful.

The last week of my second semester was not easy. The mental stress I gave myself did not help. But anyway, it is over already and not worth stressing about now.

I wonder now how could I be so relaxed throughout the entire duration of my SPM in the past. How I managed to find the time to play Mafia Wars every day during SPM baffles me now. People say enjoy college life, relax, take it easy, don't stress and so on.

And I'd reply "HOW?????". Its easy to say from the viewpoint of someone who can do well without putting in plenty of effort, or from the viewpoint of someone who does not put much emphasis on results. I am not that intelligent (luck always plays a part in my successes, so stop asking me how I manage to do so brilliantly) and I am under a scholarship that requires me to achieve a minimum 3.5 CGPA each semester.

But for now, I'm just gonna let all these worries go and concentrate on enjoying my holiday~! :D

Imbalanced

2011-04-06T21:06:00.000+08:00

I have been skipping meals, had insufficient sleep, tired beyond my wits and been through a roller coaster week.

The life of design and architecture students is living hell. I need to hold on for a couple more days before I can fully collapse.

After that, I'll have a week to recuperate, and its back to this lifestyle once more.

Stress stress stress

2011-04-06T00:57:00.004+08:00

I feel so stressed of late. My face looks like the surface of the moon and I lack sleep. Lots of it. No thanks to my final project for design. I did real bad in my exam today also because I couldn't think. Regret. But design is more important than English, unfortunately. So yeah. Tomorrow is the submission date :S

Wish me luck!

P.S. This weekend I'm gonna go shopping!!!! I DESERVE IT AFTER SO MANY MONTHS OF ABSTINENCE!

Feeling so proud of myself!

2011-03-25T23:30:00.002+08:00

I photoshopped this out today! From scratch, despite my close to nil photoshop knowledge or skills. IT LOOKS GREAT EH, for a beginner?

My first photoshop project that does not involve typing in words only.

Well actually I followed a tutorial but I still feel such a great sense of accomplishment. This image is now my desktop background~

Hehehe!

加油哦~ Stephanie!

2011-03-24T23:26:00.002+08:00

My semester is ending soon, and I really must put my all into it.

Even though I am heavily penalised for not attending the site visit (which I so totally cannot afford on my meagre salary), I still hope that I can do well.

As the Japanese say:

Anything that is worth doing is worth doing well.

I really like that saying and wholeheartedly agree with it.

All the best to me!

Personality Test

2011-03-18T00:38:00.003+08:00

Engaged Idealist

Engaged Idealists are extroverted and helpful. Others find them to be very congenial and inspiring - especially as they are always willing to see the best in the other person. Their humour, their energy and their optimism attract other people. Engaged Idealists are very good at communicating and are good at convincing and firing on others. That is why it is a matter of course that they often take over the leading role in groups. This personality type often produces very charismatic persons.

Engaged Idealists have an unusually strong ability to empathise. They are tolerant and generous towards others; they sometimes tend to idealise their friends. They always try to suit everybody and want their relationships to be harmonious and satisfactory. To achieve this, they are prepared to invest a great deal and to put their requirements last. As Engaged Idealists are very considerate, there is the danger of them sacrificing and overexerting themselves for others. In their job, they therefore have to be very careful not to develop a burnout syndrome.

Engaged Idealists are reliable, well organised and love structuring complicated situations. They have difficulty accepting criticism; they quickly feel hurt and misunderstood. Their perfectionism also influences their love life - they look for the perfect relationship for life. Once they have made their decision, they are faithful, well-balanced and loving partners. However, should they get involved with the wrong person, it can happen that they allow themselves to be exploited for a long time before they end the relationship.

Adjectives which describe your type: extroverted, theoretical, emotional, planning, idealistic, committed, likable, enthusiastic, responsible, helpful, loyal, diplomatic, friendly, inspiring, caring, solicitous, optimistic, effusive, adaptable, communicative, articulate, convincing, energetic, optimistic, open, vulnerable

On my own

2011-03-15T23:55:00.002+08:00

我伤心，谁知道？

我哭了，谁理会？

我觉得好没用、无助、失败。

作业怎样做都搞不定，因为我总没灵感，做不出自己满意的东西。

压力太多了，哪儿来的灵感呀……

我的脾气变坏了，连我都觉得自己很暴躁。是真的很暴躁那种。明知说了会后悔，但那些难听的话还是从口中出来。我想控制自己，但不说出来心里会更不舒服；因为那些怨气是不会走的，只会在心里滚动，搞得我快要崩溃了。

除此之外，我又没空理我的 dear。这点让我觉得好后悔，好内疚…… 再说，他生病了，我更应该多关心他呀。但是我没有。

我很坏，是不是？

烦恼好多，多到我不想活下去了。但是我也不会那么笨去搞自杀啦……只要我再忍多几年，就会看到阳光了。

我能如愿以偿吗？:/

我领悟了

2011-03-14T23:43:00.002+08:00

最近我犯了几个大错。

后悔了。但也从中学习了。

I've been too quick in passing judgment.

I'm not always kind in my words. I can be spiteful and nasty, and its not a side of me that I like.

I wasn't satisfied with my life because I chose to see the negative side of things instead of the positive side.

对我不小心错误的人，我真心对不起。

对于那些肯耐心劝告我的好朋友，谢谢你们。

我的个性太情绪化了…

谁叫我是个红色脑子的人啊…

According to the personality test, red people are emotional, rash, passionate, impulsive and tend to not think before they act. Its not how I want to be, but it is who I am. But even if its IN me, I still have to try and change for the better.

反正，我的成长空间还很大呀……

最重要的是理解、领悟、改善、进步。

我绝对不能半途而废，就这样放弃了我要改善的念头！

所以得写个部落篇来提醒提醒自己 xD

加油咯，Stephanie!

P.S. Waiyeen, your words of encouragement inspired me to write more in Chinese :D

发神经

2011-02-28T22:15:00.004+08:00

Today, one of our tutors 发神经. She scolded in class "Can you guys please shut up! Do you understand Inggeris? Do you know what is the meaning of shut up?".

How rude! Her conduct speaks of her character.

Goes to show the Limkokwing spirit. Awesome!

That was a pretty pre-menstrual thing to do. Not "Keep quiet!" or "Lower your voices!", but SHUT UP. Aha I like I like. Wish I had recorded that down so I could upload it to Youtube.

Uni life sucks to the max for me. Getting penalised for not having enough money to go for a 4 days 3 nights, RM1.3k site visit is a first for me. 0 marks for some subjects. Sweet.

***

I miss my boyfriend real badly and yet its only Monday. 4 more days to go before I can get a glimpse of his adorable face :(

Sad, sad Stephanie.

Oh, and by the way, Sanctum is very gory. If I knew what it'd be like I'd never opt to watch that movie. It gives me nightmares. Everyone dies in the end except for the main character. So its like watching them die one by one. The entire movie is about waiting for them to die and seeing who survives till the end. And their deaths get more and more disgusting. The death by hair scene was so revolting that I could not bring myself to watch it.

DEFINITELY NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

No Strings Attached is a much better movie. Grisly movies just can't beat romance. Hmm, I'd say that romance wins over repugnant movies hands down...each time!

一个字：烦

2011-02-19T01:21:00.008+08:00

最近几天都心情不好，是特别不好那种。

想到功课会觉得好烦。

想到工作又觉得烦。

学业上的问题若能解决就好咯……我因为经济问题不能与同学去site visit，而这个给我添了好多麻烦。教授给的选择是 a)不做，没分，不及格或 b)做 extra extra (x10倍以上)

然后，我不能自己来，得与其他没去site visit的同学组织成一组。我没问题呀，只不过，大部分没去的同学都非常懒惰!!! 他们懒惰的程度我无法形容。我连一次面也没见过他们几个，因为他们连课也不去上！尤其是那些皮肤黑的外国人。不是我种族歧视哦……是他们故意要给我原因把他们“分类”的！最后我不止需要做自己的份，还得帮那些没用的废材做他们的功课! 你说，这是什么天理？！

最悲伤的是教授好像冷落了我们这群人……我呀，连要做什么也不懂……给了我 “队长” 这个名称，真是搞笑！我天天都尝试找老师问有什么其他作业给没去site visit的我们，但老师又要跟我玩失踪。这也不是一次两次的事情了，搞得我好累，好压力。

林国荣啊林国荣……你这个大学未免太失败了吧……

我连做功课的时间都不够了，还要来烦别的事情。我可以不要理的，但是这样做不是我的风格。我的良心会过意不去的……

哎……

一个字：烦

My First Valentine's Day

2011-02-15T01:23:00.007+08:00

And my best, ever!

Actually, the point of Valentine's Day is to spend time with your loved one and cherish each other. So all the material stuff are actually insignificant. Getting 999 roses doesn't mean that your guy loves you more than a girl who only received kisses.

To those out there who don't have a Valentine, its okay :) Don't be unhappy, because God wants you to wait for the right one. Then you will be able to love, cherish and appreciate them better than you can now.

My boyfriend is so awesome. And I am so not. But he doesn't mind, being the sweetheart he is. And thanks to him, I'm the happiest person alive right now!

We had a great dinner at The Windmill tonight. And no, we didn't make any reservations! Hehe..lucky us! Behold, our meal! (Let the pictures talk for now)

Cupid's Prawn and Honeydew Cocktail

Sharkfin and Crabmeat Soup

My boyfriend's cheese-covered, VERY expensive lobster main course.

It was definitely worth the price! ;)

Love Bird (Mine!)

(Oven-baked Tiger Prawns with Honey Baked Spring Chicken)

Love Indulgence (Honey Brownie)

Black Knight

(Black Coffee with Hearty Chocolate)

We got a teddy bear each too!

A gift favour courtesy of The Windmill.

***

My evening was full of surprises and firsts.

I received flowers for the first time ever. And its his first time giving them. Hearing his flower purchasing antics was pretty amusing!

So, I had my first candlelight dinner. AWW AWW AWW!

Got a surprise gift! My dear is so crafty! xD

It is a stuffed beanie pillow which I just mentioned in passing one day that I would like to have. I'm so touched that he remembered *sniff*

But the expense! Each time I think about how much he had splurged I feel kinda bad. Luckily I chipped in for dinner~ at least he doesn't have to foot the bill. I like to pay for my share since it is not fair to let guys pay for everything. Also, I'm working! So its not like I can't afford it.

I spent loads of time snapping photos of my roses and admiring them from all angles after transferring the bouquet into my makeshift vase. I don't even have a flower vase! *embarrassed giggle*

Awww :)

3 roses mean....

Beautiful up close!

Nice vase, gorgeous roses!

The wrapping

***

Felt so happy today! It's really the thought that counts. And my darling boyfriend put so much thought into today that I'm just, touched. And pleased. The gifts and surprises are icing on the cake.

Happy happy! I feel so loved~

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

Let me gross you out a little

2011-01-25T21:43:00.002+08:00

My poor toes are always in this condition. There's an internal blood clot in my big toe from long time ago (the brown part), and my nail is chipped in my second toe. Other toenails have whitish lines from accidents.

Sigh.

On a side note, today wasn't great. I have so many things to do and I've barely started doing them. Deadlines are all coming up and I don't know where to start now. Feeling so lost. I need to learn how to manage my time better. All my plans never work out. Fail fail fail.

My first A for design

2011-01-25T01:01:00.003+08:00

So you should get why I'm so hyped up over this!

HEEE HEEEE HEEEEE !!! :D

Life is good~

When you subtract partially completed assignments, piles of unmarked students' essays (oh, the horror!), and the long to-do lists.

Music is good therapy though!

Fish Leong, my favourite female artiste :D

But I've broadened my listening "scope" to many other singers too now. Still, I don't like English songs that much despite my passion for that language x)

Some things just can't be helped *shrug*

Okay that's it for now I'm super busy these days!

I want to get more As~ Hohoho!

Byebye!

My boyfriend loves my soup :)

2011-01-18T00:57:00.002+08:00

I brought dinner for my dear this evening!

There were eggs with fishcakes, steamed chicken and soup I cooked! Okay, so the soup was from a can, but I was rushing to meet him after coming back from uni in the evening! Creme de la chicken soup~

Also, I brought half a dozen cream puffs for our dessert with a packet Milo for afters. Nice nice dinner :) And he ate everything!

Happy happy~

My cooking skills are NOT non-existent! HA!

I hate spiders.

2011-01-14T23:40:00.002+08:00

Spidey has found a mate. Just great.

So right now the space next to my bed hosts two spiders.

Limkokwing sucks.

2011-01-13T23:18:00.004+08:00

This post is gonna be disconnected and broken. I'm supposed to be sleeping after my nice, calming bath but no, the state of my room sorta got me worked up to the point where I just HAD to clean it up a little.

Today was absolutely exhausting. I stayed at uni until it was almost 7pm. The librarian chased me out as they were closing down T.T

I absolutely love my strawberry Body Shop shower gel! My Christmas present for myself xD Inhaling fragrant scents soothes my nerves and calms me down after a long wearing day.

My room is getting extremely dirty. I have not cleaned it in ages and the floor hasn't been mopped for more than a week. I am a very sloppy person even if you may think otherwise. Get your preconceptions of me rectified. I spotted a spider web with its host happily nestling in it. Glad you've found your new home. NOT.

I had just walked about my room with a piece of tape in hand, sticking up weeks' worth of hairs. Hairs trap plenty of dust. And dust attracts spiders. I don't even feel like chasing the spider away. It's not its fault that the spot next to my bed makes such a great new home for it.

Why on earth am I empathizing with spiders anyway?

***

Anyway, my week has been a nightmarish roller coaster ride. I'm so glad it's coming to an end. I spent more than RM220 today and I feel really awful. That's like, more than half of my previous month's salary. I had to buy a set of technical pens which cost RM105 (if I use my cheaper Artline pens in my assignments, I'll have to redo it. OKAY I BUY LOR), and a textbook that cost RM100 (if I don't buy it then during exams I can't refer to the formulas. GREAT WAY TO FORCE US BUY EH).

Also, out site visit this semester to Kuching, Sarawak will cost us around RM1000. If we do not go then we probably will have to resit the semester because we won't pass otherwise. GREAT WAY TO FORCE US GO HOR.

I hate spending money.

Hmm. What else I hate about Limkokwing? Its last-minuteness in EVERYTHING. I went on Tuesday for my tutorial, only to find out that the class that afternoon was cancelled. Had to call dad to U-turn back to fetch me or else I have to wait there like a fool with nothing to do for many hours. Wasting petrol and toll money.

After the class cancellation, there was a class postponement. Our initially cancelled drawing class on Monday was postponed to Wednesday, which is supposed to be a free day for us according to our timetable. Because it is a free day for me, I made plans to work on Wednesday. So yippee.

I can't take leave on such short notice (have you heard of the term "responsibility"?). So I had no choice but to skip the stupid class. Now I do not know what to do because my classmates had already submitted their assignments on the day itself. AWESOME.

What else?

Oh, I absolutely suck at measurement and applications. I kept on getting wrong values for my diagrams which nearly drove me to tears because the teacher was going on to the next question and I couldn't even get the first one right. It is so frustrating. I never hated myself as much. Also, I do not know how to use my 360 degree protractor so I kept on having to borrow a 180 degree protractor and since the protractor is so big, I had to extend my line to the table. I don't care if I conteng on the table. But the problem is, after I check my answer and it is not correct, I don't know which point to refer to to alter it.

Thank god lunchtime today was good. I chit chatted at the plaza with my usual group of friends and one of my friends, Wan Jean knows how to read palms! She told me that I have a strong relationship line, that I'll marry before 30 (good! I don't wanna be a 30-year-old unmarried woman). I'm also the kind of person who has to earn my own keep because I don't have the 福相 whereby I need not work and money will come. Okay I got the message. No lottery tickets or gambling and hard work all the way! I can do that :)

Well palm reading turned into ghost story session eventually. We had 2.5hours to kill before our next class which was English. I sat with Zhu Zhen Ming the 中国人. I told him that if he were to smoke during the break I wouldn't sit with him after. I guess he prefers me to do all the work xD Which I don't mind, because it occupies time. Also, he wouldn't have to look up his phone dictionary so often.

3 days more, and I'm coming back to the same weekly routine again. Life is so mundane.

Get creative in the toilet

2011-01-09T13:47:00.001+08:00

Just for laughs

2011-01-09T01:35:00.003+08:00

The day I got so happy I fainted.

2011-01-04T00:51:00.003+08:00

I got my results today!

And I am very satisfied :D

I am very close to getting a perfect 4.0 GPA but well, I'm not that brilliant in this subject entitled Design. Because I never know what my teachers want. And they're not exactly eloquent in expressing their requirements. Communication skills fail me here. At least I tried, you know. I did each project twice in hope of raising my grades. Double the effort. But it simply wasn't enough.

Still, I'm elated! :)

I really hope that this semester will be good. I'm quite interested in the new subjects I'll be doing -- Measurements and Applications 152 and History and Cultural Studies 152. They do sound fascinating! To me, at least.

ALSOOOOOOO...

Since I was in a celebratory mood, I treated my boyfriend, who was a massive pillar of strength to me throughout last year to a scrumptious dinner this evening! We had Western food at Buffalo. It was heavenly! But I had a wonderful fried Calamari treat from my boyfriend though! Thinking of my dinner makes my mouth water even after so many hours.

What a great day!

Hello, 2011!

2011-01-02T01:42:00.001+08:00

So cuteeeee :D

2010-12-28T00:12:00.000+08:00

Hyped up!

2010-12-26T23:42:00.002+08:00

I'm so excited I can't sleep! But I know very well that when tomorrow morning comes I'll be groggy and unenthusiastic. OH WELL. It happens each time I go for a trip. When I was younger my parents had to pull me out of bed as I wouldn't budge. Not gonna happen now! xD

By the way, my current favourite song is 你会不会 by 梁静茹.

I'll be back by Thursday :)

BIG JOKE!

2010-12-26T22:12:00.005+08:00

You're conscientious where your health is concerned. You're one of the rare few who exercise and eat nutritious meals. Today you might want to expand your repertoire of medical remedies. If you've been struggling to shake a cold or allergy, consider some alternative medicines. They're moving more into the mainstream. Chinese herbs and acupuncture could just be what the New Age doctor ordered!

HAHAHA!

Have no regrets!

2010-12-26T14:03:00.000+08:00

Pleased :)

2010-12-25T20:27:00.002+08:00

Today I got an external hard drive and a thumbdrive from Low Yat Plaza! I feel very glad! I hope that my laptop will run faster now that I'm decluttering it *fingers crossed*

Got some Christmas gifts. They weren't too bad :)

My mom has been talking on the top on her voice about my bad habits to my relatives that they don't need to know. I don't care if my blankets aren't folded! I use them every night after all. And no one should enter my room anyway, so its not like its on public display or anything. SHEESH.

At least someone enjoyed herself =.=

Other than that my day was VERY BORING. The usual grown up chatter means that all I can do is sit and nod and listen quietly. I didn't help make jelly this afternoon. Felt super lazy. The soya bean milk turned the jelly into pudding by the way. It tastes like the RM1 pudding you can buy from CHS. Now that we know of its cost, I realise that the canteen operators are rolling in money.

I shouldn't have bought so much jelly to eat last time.

Okay, I'm lazy and my file transfer isn't done yet so I'll just pop into the other room to see what my family is doing. Later!

Getting into the spirit!

2010-12-24T23:02:00.002+08:00

Christmas shopping is always fun! And that's precisely what I did today :D

I AM STILL SICK.

2010-12-23T23:49:00.002+08:00

Okay, this is probably getting boring.

I've been blogging about being sick for a week, and here I am, still sick.

This morning I went to the doctor. I waited for my turn for around one and a half hours.

WHY IS EVERYONE SICK WHEN I AM SICK???

My throat is very bad. I can barely speak. Also, my right eye wasn't in a good condition this morning. Almost half my eye was sealed with green pus when I woke up. This is very gross right? But fascinating too in a way. The way boogers and earwax can be sometimes.

I had to ask Suet to fill in for me today (again, thank you very very much!) as further talking could cause me to lose my voice completely. I regret to say that my health is far more important than my responsibility to my students. I want to live till I'm 89 years old, you see!

Recently I've been listening to 林俊杰's songs. I totally get why Hui Sin likes him so much! They are very calming and soothing and can lift up my mood too. By the way, my favourite artist 梁静茹 (Fish Leong) has came out with a new album! Yay!

I'm compiling songs for my boyfriend to listen when he's driving. I hope he'll like them!

Also, I'm trying to learn how to operate AutoCAD through Youtube tutorials. Not making much progress 'cos I can't concentrate. Am either too tired because the only time I use the computer each day is at night (usually) or I am very sleepy from the medication (today).

Am counting down the days to TTC trip! I haven't been anywhere during this holidays. Work and shopping center outings don't count. Kuantan will be a change of scenery for me! Can hardly wait :D

Okay I really am feeling the effects of my medication. Goodnight~

We never realise how silly we are.

2010-12-23T23:45:00.002+08:00

I do this all the time without realising it! xD

Celebrating Yeen Yin's birthday

2010-12-22T01:29:00.002+08:00

We never took a group shot. WE SHOULD HAVE.

Sigh.

My day was awesome! This morning was great, despite my pink tinted right eye. My dear boyfriend brought me breakfast! We usually share our first meal of the day together, and today, it was nasi lemak :)

I feel so loved *floats on cloud nine*

After that he covered my red eye in cotton gauze and taped it until we got to Mid Valley so that I could rest my eye for the time being. I looked like a pirate with a big white cross over my eye.

DID YOU KNOW THAT CONJUNCTIVITIS IS RELATED TO SORE THROAT INFECTION???

That explains my eye infection following my sore throat. Plus points for having a boyfriend who is a medical student.

I had a great day! Treated the soon-to-be birthday girl Yeen Yin to onion rings at Ireland's Potatoes when we set foot to Mid Valley, then walked about, went into I Need House (YES, I CAN LEGALLY ENTER! I no longer need to bear with the humiliation of being chased out. STOP. LAUGHING. NOW. YOU.) I also bought her a tiny "Y" with faux diamonds to hang on her mobile phone.

Then we met up with Miaw and began walking about. We stopped for food at Italiannies and had a delightful meal before heading to Secret Recipe for a little cake (what's a birthday without cake, anyway?). After that, Miaw and I purchased a bracelet-slash-anklet for Yeen Yin which she adored and took plenty of photos with the decorations (not each other, mind you) before heading home.

BY THE WAY, I HATE WAITING FOR BUSES.

Went to TTC, curled up in a sofa with my boyfriend and napped for an hour. The nap did nothing to help my poor eye.

CAN'T YOU JUST GET BETTER SOON???

But despite my sickness, it was a nice day out :)

If I had the patience

2010-12-22T01:23:00.000+08:00

Every girl is a little bit like the music she listens to.

2010-12-22T01:17:00.000+08:00

aintgotnopancakemixx:

Ke$ha- the part of us that wants to party all night.
Justin Bieber- the part of us that wants a guy to say these things to us.
Eminem- the part of us thats not afraid to speak our mind.
Miley Cyrus- the part of us who wants to know what fame is like.
Selena Gomez- the part of us thats sweet and innocent.
Haley Williams- the part of us that wants to be a rock star.
Taylor Swift- the part of us thats in love.

I'm so, so glad that my boyfriend likes Taylor Swift songs. If this applies to guys as well.

From Tumblr :)

Tip of the day

2010-12-21T01:00:00.001+08:00

OH NO I'VE GOT RED EYE INFECTION !!!

2010-12-21T00:53:00.002+08:00

I'm not getting any better, am I? >.<

Sigh...

Pray pray it'll go away tomorrow...and I hope my dad won't disallow me to go out. I really want to go out!!!

Yay!

2010-12-20T13:42:00.002+08:00

My music player is working again!! I nearly gave up on my Kuwo. But :)

Today's a rest day btw. Am staying at home enjoying myself and hopefully, recovering.

Have a good day everyone!

New year resolutions.

2010-12-20T02:23:00.001+08:00

Not bad for a day's work

2010-12-20T00:56:00.002+08:00

I've completed all the items on my To Do list today :D

Feeling very accomplished!

Also, I learned how to work Adobe Illustrator and improve on my Photoshop skills.

Hmm overall my holidays haven't been such a waste I guess.

I did read plenty of books as planned. But not as many as I wished. If I did manage the latter, you can call me professor already xD

Besides that, I spent alot of precious time with my darling boyfriend, did some cooking, drove about running errands (watched like a hawk by daddy dearest each time =.=), work, tutor piano, baked cookies without supervision, watched a number of movies, went shopping, blew an entire paycheck on my hair, had a super karaoke session inclusive of a buffet lunch for less than RM20, went on a one day trip to Genting, hung out with friends and celebrated my best friend's birthday with her.

Phew! And I thought that my what-I-did-during-my-holidays list would be short and sinful. What a relief that it isn't. This long break is to compensate with next year's busy schedule, so how on earth can I waste my time by sleeping and eating???

I am going to

recover from my horrible bit of sore throat (it is not helping that I'm having curry on a daily basis...but the taste is simply delightful!)
prepare questions for a lesson
celebrate Christmas!!!
get my eyebrows threaded
celebrate Yeen Yin's birthday (in advance) with her
go to Kuantan whoppeee~
call Hui Sin
drive drive drive
READ BOOKS
drink more water
tidy up my clothes cupboard (I already gave up on my desk)
buy an external hard disk and an 8GB thumbdrive with whatever remaining money I have

I also wish to have a smooth start in my new semester... I want to get an awesome grade point average, but ever since I realised that it is impossible to get perfect scores for design work, my dream of getting a CGPA 4.0 is up in smoke. However, I'll still strive to maintain my scholarship. If it weren't for the scholarship, I wouldn't choose to study at Limkokwing. There are many better colleges and universities out there.

Okay, enough of the bitterness already. Christmas is coming soon, after all! I can barely wait for this much anticipated celebration!

Mind over matter xD

2010-12-18T02:15:00.001+08:00

Friendship :)

2010-12-18T01:12:00.000+08:00

The things I can't eat.

2010-12-17T19:23:00.003+08:00

I haven't been sick for a long time. And it feels awful. Throughout yesterday I only ate a meal because I lacked appetite. But that meal I had was scrumptious! I adore Chinese food. Also, I'm less of a picky eater nowadays. I eat vegetables and chop up garlic (the latter happened only because of Miaw).

Anyway I'm on the road to recovery. But it seems like forever before I can get there. My throat hurts so badly, and nothing can be done to help it. At least I'm not shivering anymore. Yesterday it was so bad that my teeth were chattering uncontrollably and my knees jerking and trembling. SO not a good sight.

Tomorrow I'm gonna be up and about! Going book shopping with English department :D

And I need more Strepsils. I'm devouring them at such a superhuman pace that I won't be surprised if it loses it's effects.

Had a great day!

2010-12-15T23:08:00.000+08:00

Today's classes were awesome!!! I just felt so happy to see the many familiar faces I'd missed for so many months. In each class I taught today, there were students whom I didn't see for ages. It was really really nice, like reconciling with old acquaintances.

I made two huge blunders though.

The first was messing up the time. I THOUGHT that one of the classes started at 12pm. But it was actually 11am.

I. WAS. LATE.

I am very punctual and lateness is not usually associated with me. I felt awful. But my students were very generous and nice about it. They even started doing their work before I went in! And I did make up for lost time because the next teacher was late too xD

The next blunder was thinking that there was a class that evening when in fact, there wasn't. And I kept on asking Suet Ching and YewHo if they could teach that class as it was a late session. Not only was I making a nuisance of myself, I was giving myself unnecessary worrying to do.

HOW VERY FOOLISH OF ME!

I really wonder what went wrong in my head today. Did a wire fuse or something? :/

I'm behaving exceptionally scatterbrained. In an unrelated subject, my mother asked me if amnesia struck early.

All these incidents happened in a day. OUCHHHHHH!

But despite those minor issues, the day went by fine and dandy. Tomorrow I'll be very busy as compared to today. I'm going to teach in the morning, buy something after that and have lunch with my boyfriend, listen to Silent Night in the afternoon and spend the evening with Miaw!

I'm looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

On a side note, the hole in my pocket is increasing in size. I splurged all of my money from piano tutoring on rebonding my hair. On an impulse. I'm not regretting the work done to my frizzy mane, but I definitely wince at spending so much money in one go. Truth is, I charged very little for the piano lessons. I couldn't even afford the rebonding if my mom didn't issue me a discount.

I've never been as broke as I am now.

This is a pretty depressing fact.

My eyes are weary and my movements sluggish.

Bed is probably the best therapy for me right now.

Tutored my cousin today for 6.5 hours. Piano and literature exploration. I gave him so many books to read that it is a wonder his brain hasn't sizzled up yet.

The Call of the Wild was the first classic he set eyes to. I wonder how would he fare with Dracula. Pollyanna or Little Women wouldn't have much appeal I guess. And I don't even want to start on Middlemarch. I can't finish that book, and that's saying something. If only I could find a simplified version of The Three Musketeers. I spent a long time on a book discussion forum today and it really enlightened me. Who needs book clubs these days?

Under my rigorous tutoring, my cousin managed to play the entire Silent Night (both hands) on his third lesson, and honestly, that's quite a feat. However, I am very sick of Silent Night now. I will cringe if I hear it being played one more time.

Okay I'm too sleepy to continue any more so that's it for now.

A little something to spice up my blog.

You know what? Yes I have changed. I’m not as nice as I used to be, because I don’t want to get fucked over, I don’t trust everyone and tell them my secrets, because behind every fake smile is a backstabbing bitch. I distance myself from people because in the end, they’re most likely to leave. I have changed because I have realized that every girl is a bitch, even those you used to trust, your bestfriends everybody talks shit.

I can't wait to make spaghetti and lasagna with Miaw later in the afternoon!

Actually, I'm anticipating the eating part more than the cooking part, but well, no one needs to know that ;)

AND AND AND...

Today I used RM18 at Neway. Had an awesome buffet brunch and karaoke session with my dear boyfriend :) Though I think that he enjoys the food more than the music xD

On Friday I went out again on a date with my boyfriend. His exams were just over on Thursday so we decided earlier on to celebrate on Friday. We watched Harry Potter (which was okay, nothing exceptionally great) and I screamed at the part where the snake reared its head up. It was pretty embarrassing as I was the only person in the entire cinema that was screaming. But I was so stunned that I didn't notice myself at all. After the movie, I decided that British accents can be annoying.

Dearie spoiled me thoroughly with a sushi treat at Sushi Zanmai and treated me to Harry Potter. And I treated him to Ireland's Potatoes, ice-cream from Gelatissimo and ShiLin mee sua. I love my boyfriend and I know that its a mutual feeling :)

Not many guys are willing to walk for hours with their fussy-pot girlfriends to return empty handed most of the time. Many shopping excursions have produced zero results. But on that fateful Friday, luck was on my side! I bought a really pretty top for RM20 which looks good on me ~~on an empty stomach~~.

After meals my tummy bulges out instantly and sometimes I use that to measure how stuffed I am. But people who enjoy eating are happy. I am happy too when I eat! So who cares about a little bulge, huh? ;)

On Thursday evening Dearie and I had four 6-inch Subway sandwiches. I consumed a foot-long sandwich. How absolutely shocking. I am such a glutton, I know. It isn't showing terribly yet, so I do not need to go on a diet nor exercise (YET). I DREAD exercising. It is the thought of sweat and dirt that terrifies me.

Of late I've been exhausting myself by watching Hong Kong dramas, reading and hanging out with my boyfriend. There is nothing remotely interesting going on in my life to blog about, and the frustration I face each time I have to teach with students having no materials whatsoever throughout last week isn't really blog-worthy. Its just plain annoying and tiresome. I do my part and I expect that of others too. It isn't very difficult given our specific job scopes.

Anyway, I intend to clean up my wardrobe tomorrow and plan lessons for my music tutoring. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm in a self proclaimed financial crisis right now and prior to friends' birthdays and Christmas I shall try my best to rectify it. I do not intend to touch my savings account as you'd never know when there'll be a long stretch of rainy-days.

Am wishing that I could get started on my 2011 teaching materials preparations. I fear that next year will be so busy that I would have no breathing space. I dread the end of my holidays, yet it is a month that I've been waking up at noon already. Good times do fly past in a blink of an eye. Sigh.

Man, I love my Tumblr!

2010-11-30T02:20:00.005+08:00

Just changed the layout. If you're free do zip in and take a look! I'm so psyched about it that I couldn't help but post enthusiastically for the entire day! xD

Which left me feeling REALLY satisfied and happy. Gosh I love my tumblr! Okay I must stop parroting myself. Its very late now and I really should be going to bed. Goodnight world! And please please do try to drop by my tumblr :)

That's it for now! Byebye ღ

Plenty to say

2010-11-21T12:05:00.007+08:00

My entire week consisted of fun, fun and more fun! I've recorded my footsteps throughout the week, so beware! Long post ahead ;p

Monday was lazy day. I stayed home and read all day long.

Rating: ★★★

On Tuesday I hung out with my boyfriend, had a really scrumptious dinner at Sushi Zanmai, which included 3 plates of smoked salmon for moi. My dear boyfriend treated my to ice-cream for dessert and a movie! No doubt I have a fantastically sweet boyfriend :D

We made a spur of the moment decision to watch Megamind, which was totally hilarious and way better than I expected. The reviews were dead on! By the time I reached home after the movie it was already 12am. A day well spent!

Rating: ★★★★★

I went out with Miaw and Kai Foong on Wednesday. Initially it was just Miaw and I, but Kai Foong wanted to go shopping so we decided to join him. We had Sushi King for lunch (I am a sushi addict) and, lets see...I spent RM10 shopping, Miaw RM30 eating and Kai Foong used well over RM100 for shopping. Since it was Pink Day, we purchased junior ice-cream scoops at Baskin Robbins for half price! I hereby declare my love for peanut butter chocolate ice-cream. We sure do our part in boosting local economy! x)

After sending Kai Foong home, I went to Miaw's place for a nap. I was treated to a mouth watering Chinese dinner that evening :9 I ate till I was stuffed and boy, was it good! I love Chinese food. Love love love! My favourite dish was the roasted piglet. That was... absolutely, utterly and most definitely heavenly.

Rating: ★★★★★

My Thursday wasn't half bad, I slept in till noon and read my ebooks. Went to TTC for an hour and got home again, only to continue my reading. I have read 6 books this week already! Definitely an accomplishment ;)

Rating: ★★★

Friday was very very fun! I went to Genting with the band peeps, took the bus up with Joanne and Yun Li, and we reached so early that we didn't have to wait! We were climbing over the metal railings used to control the crowd because there was no queue at all! Played most the roller coasters on that very morning, and when it started to drizzle, we went indoors for lunch. A Zinger burger there cost RM10. Very affordable! NOT.

At 2pm, Ee May, Joyce, Ching Nee, Kok Shien, Yin Wei and Chun Wai joined us. Second round on most rides! To evade the rain we sat in the teacups, and it is a wonder that Joyce could still walk after her ferocious spinning xD

Joanne, Yun Li and I went to board the bus at 7pm. We got on the wrong bus and came back trying in vain to locate our actual bus, which we did, of course. Waited for the 8.30pm bus at mid hill since 7.20pm till my fingers were icy cold. After reaching 1 Utama, my boyfriend picked me up and we went for a chee cheong fun supper at Section 17, which was very welcoming after the chilly Genting weather.

Rating: ★★★★★

I spent my Saturday at TTC. Had a small but deliciously good breakfast of tomyam meehoon with my boyfriend early in the morning. Took a nap till meeting started and went to Kanna for a yumcha session after that. There I had my second breakfast of maggi goreng and teh tarik. Malaysian food is good :) Went back home at 3pm and read more books before conking out at 7pm. Was greeted with a western meal of Fish and Chips when I woke up bleary-eyed. Now do you wonder why I'm getting fatter?

Rating: ★★★★★

Gosh I'm feeling real lazy now! But I simply have to continue as this week was fabulous! Bear with me. I'm getting to Sunday already xD

Later I'll be going to my aunt's house for lunch. I can't wait 'cos I skipped breakfast. I am so gonna stuff my face with food later. I'll diet when I look like I need it. Exercising is not one of my slimming down options because I don't exercise. I dislike sweat, dirt and panting. When my weight reaches 45kg only I'll take measures to slim down. I just realised that I can't donate blood with my current body weight! O.O

Rating: ★★

Blogging is so handy -- I needn't keep a journal or diary to record down things or events just for the sake of remembering them! I'm gonna scout for food now as my tummy is rumbling ;D

That's it for now!

This looks divine.

2010-11-15T01:33:00.004+08:00

*Drools*

Give me one of these right now and I swear that my

weight/body size will be the last thing on my mind ;)

Simple contentment

2010-11-15T01:30:00.000+08:00

One day at a time, this is enough. Do not grieve over the past for it has gone. Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.

This should sum up my month!

2010-11-15T00:42:00.004+08:00

Learning new skills, mastering subjects, and expressing your thoughts will be important this month. You may have to write them down to explore them fully. This is a good time to do in-depth research due to an emphasis on Scorpio during the first half of the month. Mars in Sagittarius and your sector of home and family will keep you busy with your parents and the people you share your space with. You will act as an inspiration and coach for others in some way, even if they're older and wiser than you are.

Got it! ;)

There have been numerous occasions where these predictions have turned out to be accurate! So I'm not exactly believing in wish-wash nor am I a superstitious prick x)

Ahh, a hidden gift!

2010-11-15T00:38:00.002+08:00

As a Virgo, you have an innate gift for healing and calming other people in crisis situations. If this isn't what you do for a living, you should think about doing something with this natural talent. The positions of the planets today may be telling you to think about this in more concrete terms. If you're interested in herbal therapy, for example, this could be the perfect time to learn more.

This year has been loads of fun!

2010-11-14T00:17:00.004+08:00

Working is fun.

Shopping after payday is fun.

Dating is fun.

Having an awesome, caring, loving boyfriend is more fun.

Driving is fun.

Scaring my parents with my driving is ultimate fun.

Getting my hair dyed is fun.

Seeing the colour fade off was fun too.

Learning is fun.

Seeing my lecturers struggle to answer our questions is very fun.

Outings are fun.

Impromptu outings are super duper fun.

Exploring new places is always fun.

Going places in life -- now that's real fun.

Goodbye, first semester!

2010-11-11T23:57:00.010+08:00

Its over, at long last. I won't miss it, for sure.

The past four months have been a hectic ongoing roller coaster ride. I was just only getting accustomed to my new lifestyle that included travelling to and fro daily for an hour, being enclosed in a 24/7 smoker zone (which I still loathe), getting my head into subjects which I couldn't comprehend or make a head or tail of, getting used to lecturers disappearing when I need to see them and the fact that its gonna take years for them to correct our work or have it disappear in their care for good and being labelled studious/diligent/smart (I feel the need to laugh hysterically here, its utterly outrageous!) for the first time in my life.

What a gargantuan change from my high school life.

Another 8 months before I proceed into my degree course (whereby I still need to do Malaysian Studies, BM and Moral. WTF!). But granted, I am allowed to drop BM because I got a credit in SPM muahaha!

I can bear with this. 6 subjects a semester is only a subject more than STPM candidates (including MUET). Despite the super duper heavy workload, the examinations are much less hefty. On an average I study a day before examinations, maximum. Or on the day itself, given that the exam time is in the afternoon. It would be less stressful during examination week if I studied constantly. But its okay, I'd much rather leave it to the eleventh hour. There is simply too much on my plate as it is!

My goals for this holidays are:

Do some sketching
Read up the history of architecture
Relax and enjoy myself thoroughly
Find more things to do!
I hate doing nothing for my holidays and I haven't done that in a long time (since Form 1, precisely, which dates 6 years back).
Indulge myself in books, books and more books.
Mmm, just the thought of it appeals to me very much ;D
Spend lots and lots of time with my dear boyfriend! :D

Another to-do list for me! I love crossing things off my to-do lists. Seeing actual prove that work is done makes me happy and ticking the items off gives me an unexplainable thrill and wave of anticipation to complete the entire list! This keeps me on my toes and is a really good method of achieving goals. Toasting amazing to-do lists!

Happy 8 months ♥

2010-11-11T00:00:00.004+08:00

I love you! ♥

Good luck in your exams tomorrow :)

Yes, oh yes.

2010-11-10T22:56:00.001+08:00

This day isn't likely to be the highlight of your week, Virgo. You may be aware of constraints at work or home. You're quite likely to hanker for an appropriate reward for your labor. Any type of recognition would be nice at this point. This is a good day to define new personal and professional goals. They'll sustain you through your unending chores.

SORREEEEE !!!

2010-11-09T23:10:00.001+08:00

I so totally owe my dear friend Wai Yeen a birthday post but as my finals are ongoing, it shall have to wait :(

***

Updated 14/11/2010

This is how sampat he is. On a regular basis.

We've known each other for six years. Granted, we didn't click at once, but gradually we became best friends. He has given me plenty of memories of our final years in high school to bring forward in life. Laughter, arguments, sampatness, music and genuine care have never evaded us. We locked horns with each other through the years, literally! but Miaw can beat me on that record! xD

Here's to a caring, loyal, supportive, sarcastic, fun and amusing friend :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

I wish you all the best in life, and may you be blessed with joy and laughter! I'll always be here for you, froggy :) Friends for life!

Self-reminder.

Life isn't getting any better.

2010-10-30T17:04:00.004+08:00

YET.

Seriously, who am I kidding?

Despite not getting as much criticisms as my classmates during the review, I still do not think that I have fared any better. Probably gotten away easier, only because I was the second person to present out of fifty/sixty-something students. I deem myself as a warm-up for the lecturers.

Gosh, I'll never choose lecturing or teaching as a profession. I do not want to wake up to nightmares of being voodoo-sized or something. Nor do I want to be disliked to the extent that people are always crossing their fingers and hoping that a flower pot would fall on my head. Which I don't as a student, but you'll never know it with other people x)

Two more weeks of hell.

Can time pass slower?

Today is an awful bore. I've never been so restless on a Saturday before. I miss my boyfriend to bits and I still have to bear with it till Monday. My to-do list is nowhere near complete but I can't care less right now. I'm dying to drive later. Being cooped up in a house all day long is sheer and absolute torture. I totally understand how caged animals feel right now. But it would be better to bear with that than the constant awareness that you might end up as someone's rug or wall piece.

I need something to do.

Something that is not uni-related. Yesterday was nice. I enjoy doing notes, because I am occupied with something. And la-di-da I am indeed capable of whipping up a month's worth of teaching materials within one day. With a certain amount of quality, no doubt.

Right now, I shall stop singing praises about myself and step back into real life.

Unfortunately, for most of us, life goes on.

I don't really mean that. I am glad to be given a chance to live. Thus I shall not waste my life away like an awful lot of people I could mention.

Purely habitual.

2010-10-30T14:54:00.003+08:00

Lazy Saturdays.

But for the first time in months, I slept in on a Saturday morning! This is so awesome man. But I woke up with a bad feeling in my gut that I was wasting my time sleeping. Yet til now, I have not geared myself up to do anything. Contradictory, much?

I need a new to-do list, since I crossed things off my old one and other things came up. So yes, I'm gonna make one and post it up here so I will feel the heat in my pants and cease spending the rest of my day facing the computer.

Building Technology Journal
Presentation Board
Design and Drawing Portfolio
Get Intro to Built Environment lecture slides
Stamp my exam docket
Do my LUCT 2 point perspective
Study
Update myself about the going-ons with Malaysian Studies
Redo Design Projects
Prepare my logbook

Time doesn't wait for anyone.

2010-10-29T00:18:00.000+08:00

It'll be nice to escape reality for a moment.

2010-10-28T23:55:00.002+08:00

I never had a proper holiday since SPM. Not that I had awesome once-in-a-lifetime trips before either. But I wish I did have one, so I could look back at it and reminisce at those joyful memories. Anything before then is buried too deep for my memory to recall properly. I am a scatter-brain at times, but more fish-brained than anyone else I know.

As far as I'm concerned, a long break would do the job just as well :)

2 more weeks to go before my semester break!

WHOPPEE!!

The silver streak in people's characters -- a kind heart.

2010-10-25T23:11:00.001+08:00

And all will be water under the bridge.

2010-10-24T00:25:00.000+08:00

Bear with it and soon it'll be over.

2010-10-23T22:54:00.004+08:00

I dread next week.

But nothing's gonna stop time from ticking away so I might as well just grind my teeth and get down to it.

My cause and effect essay with referencing is due on Tuesday, and I have yet to start working on it. B. Tech journal's deadline is on Wednesday. Alright, so I've made a headway there, but my progress is somewhat disappointing. Thursday is the big day, our internal review for our final design project. Which I am working on, and let's just say that I still have a long way more to completion. And by Friday, I have to whip up 3 A3 sized sketches and an A4 sketch.

I get through each week by promising myself that it will get better somehow. Even though its all but a big fat lie. It never gets any better, but instead speeds downhill at a pace I find hard--no, impossible to keep up.

I'm caught between work, studies and rest. Relaxation is no longer a priority, it is a privilege.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about my life. I just need to get it out of my system -- the muddled thoughts and emotional exhaustion.

I can't even be bothered about trivial matters or insignificant people that give me a moment's annoyance, be it in real life or cyberspace. Time wasted can't be repurchased. And so, I shall give only important things and irreplaceable people in my life precious time, like my family, my boyfriend and my friends.

On a side note, I am no doubt elated to have done well in my recent quiz despite studying for slightly more than a day. I will do my best to make my parents proud -- it's the least I could do to repay them for bringing me up well :)

My results baffled me at first, to the point where I approached my tutor and asked him if he had indeed marked our papers properly. I honestly felt like there was some mistake in my results, considering the fact that I did not have a feel-good feeling after the quiz, but since everyone in class improved by leaps and bounds this time, it does seem like an overall upgrade, or in better sounding words, an overall improvement. Besides that, my assignment scores were pretty satisfying. Practice does make perfect, and hard work pays off well.

My life revolves around my studies now, so I apologise for going on and on about it. Mainly because that's the only thing I can blog about right now, because I don't think that you want to read about how infuriated I am about certain snippets of Budget 2011, particularly about the plans for the construction of a 100-storey building. It is rather stale news, but much less miserable than the recent tragedies and rising death rates.

Here's something that you might be interested in (if reading is your thing la), Lee Kuan Yew's eulogy. Many say that it is a political gimmick, but truth be told, political gimmick or not, it does seem heartfelt and sincere in my opinion. I devour the Insight section of the Sunday Star weekly without fail, and this is by far my favourite piece.

And on this note, I'll end my post. This is an extra long post (including the article) because I won't have the time to update for the following week. Till next time, au revoir!

Learn a thing or two.

Study break

2010-10-19T19:56:00.005+08:00

I'm feeling very under-prepared for tomorrow's quiz.

Am only halfway through my last minute studying. Actually I'm feeling quite optimistic about my progress (but not the result, mind you). I can get through the quiz syllabus by tonight and reinforce my grasp of the topics tested tomorrow.

Its just 10 questions. With tips. So I should do well, right?

But no, you need to sketch diagrams, label them and well, its just not as simple as it sounds. I never knew that roofs had so much to them.

Ridge-valley rafter-hip rafter-eaves-verge-common rafters-Jack rafters-gable end.

It probably sounds like nonsense to your ears but they are essential for my passing tomorrow's quiz! So there.

Remind me again why I chose to pursue this course >.<

***

Okay, I just remembered this one tiny detail I left out.

OUR SITE VISIT TODAY WAS CANCELLED!!!

I'd sorta anticipated it already, seeing that Limkokwing University has an excellent track record of failing to deliver its promises. Everything sounds better that it seems, that I've learned in 3 months of studying there.

But really, notifying us one day prior to the supposed site visit?? That is downright absurd and unreasonable.

Its position as a higher education institution is preposterous, seeing that it does not even hold on to any virtuous principles and its primary insider motto (or how I came to fathom it) is "earn more money--it does not matter through what means the money is obtained from".

Better not screw up this time.

2010-10-17T14:17:00.005+08:00

I have my final project and a quiz coming up soon.

I'm making a castle and glass slipper for my Cinderella-titled project. The sad, gloomy feeling does emote well. I am very pleased with the effect. And before you question my choice of emotions for my sculpture, let me assure you that I have my reasons :)

I need to work harder for this coming quiz. I did average (okay, slightly above average as there were so many failures) in my previous one and even though many of my classmates failed to perform its no reason to not strive harder. Its unbelievable really, that some students can score 0%. It makes me wonder where their minds wander during lectures.

Last Friday I went out for a movie date with Dearie :D

I do so love outings like that! We watched Detective Dee, which was really interesting and action-packed. But I couldn't stand those close-up burning humans scene. Those were stomach turning. Not to mention that I had a slight problem catching up with the movie because my Cantonese is pretty poor. I know enough to order food, but should I be asked to converse in that dialect, I'll pitch up a white flag.

On a different note, I read a few books of late. One of which is entitled Forever, by Judy Blume. I just find the ending devastating. But it is themed around the fact that life holds no promises, and that someday, we all have to face reality that most of the time, fairy tales do not exist.

If you're interested to read it, here's the download link.
