Soft Cookies Finish Fast and Soft Hearts Finish Last
The exams are over, thus ends another semester at UNSW. Crap. Im gettin older. Im gonna miss this sem. Its been pretty great, except with the little punctuations of emoness and sadness (Damn Biochem!) But of course there's plenty of great upbeat moments.
Im definately gonna miss Eleni and her Greek accent during our mythology lectures and tutes. How she waves her arms around scoffing at the promiscuity of the gods. How she smiles and tells us that falling in love is the greatest thing in the world.
I'm gonna miss our sleepovers: Laughing at my Geekinees at 5 in the morning with Zek n Sunny. Watching my loved ones sleep peacefully, bathed in the glow of Anas' heater. Waking up to the smell of wonderful breakfast by Hawa, Fini and May. And Anas' Roti Tampal!!!! Movie marathons with Hawa only lasting 15 minutes tops. :D
I'm not really gonna miss class though. Except maybe for biochem tutes n labs even though i hate the quizzes n exams. Fini n I have the best groupmates n tutor! We get to gorge on snacks during lessons! Who wouldnt love that? :P I definately WONT miss Johnos finger showing antics though. Hahahaha...
I'm gonna miss coffee at McDs after library sessions with Ameen n Anas. Where an hour dissolves to three an a half. Im SO NOT gona miss the exam stress that went with those 2 weeks though. *shudders*
I'm gonna miss the parties at Newtown. The huge laughs we churn out from such a HUGE group of friends. Ones who never fail to brighten up my day. Talks about *coughcough* LIFE. Burger Istanbul. Karaokaing. Girly Talks.
Okie Dokie. Moving on now. This holidays, im gonna try and inject as much fun as I can before the 14th. Then Im gonna relax back here in Sydney. Wish me luck! Happy Holidays People!
The answer to why I'm not taken
May sent me this quiz thingy. Just one word: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH........
| You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Picky |
You have no problem attracting guys - and even dating a little
It's just around second or third date time where you start to see faults
If a guy isn't near perfect, you're not into him.
It's good to have standards - but yours rule almost everyone out. |
I seriously have no comment on this. I can't back myself up coz the whole thing is probably true. Not to say that I think I'm a pretty good catch or anything and most guys don't deserve me. It's just that, it isn't easy for me to find someone who comes close enough to perfect for me. Besides, if guys can be picky with me, why can't I be picky with them? ;)
Oi study la makcik!
When you eat too much brownies, you get hyper. You end up doing things you're not supposed to. Like changing the image on your blog. And not studying for that microbiology test tomorrow. Uh Oh. *starts to panic.* Okay okay I go now! *lariiiiiiii*
ps: Dem brownies are yummyyyyyy..moist n peanut butteryyyyy.......tk senonoh betul. dah la buat sendiri.
Happy Daddy's Day!
Happy Daddy's Day to my lovely Opa. My granma wouldnt let him cut the cake till my dad came back frm his seminar. Hahahaha..kesian gile. I can just imagine the dissapointed look on my cousins face. muahahahaha..hey aqeem, ur not a dad yet!
Current mood: Better than last week. You guys shld be thankful I didnt blog when I was stressed. And emo. :D
Current song: Break Out Break Out by All Time Low and Leave A Light On by Belinda Carlisle. Heeeee....
Current wish: To bake goodies that taste heavenly. And for exams to finish!
Current reality: A pile of microbiology notes taunting me and a huge microbio text book staring at me mouthing 'Study Me....' (It must be the comics and lack of human interaction).
Its my baby's bday!
Today Its officially
my blogs bday. Woo Hoo! One year! *claps hands*. Anywaayyyy..back to being serious. *clears throat*
Trust is a big thing. We've all heard it, you can't automatically gain someone's trust, you've gotta EARN it. Thats not the hard part though. No. The hard part is KEEPING it.
Just because someone once trusted you, that does not mean that they still do. Especially not when you go around breaking their hearts and feeding them with lies and false hope. You can't expect them to place their most valued belongings with someone who is more than willing to steal it.
Once you've abused someones trust, you'd have to start from scratch and work your way back up again. The second time isn't as easy too, because your subterfuge has been unearthed the first time round. As long as u play the honesty cards, things should go smoothly.
OOoohH! I want some sparkling juice. Of the
Fizzy Lizzy kind. Tee Heeeee! And they're pretty healthy too!
'Ooh! Saya Teruja!'
Despite hanging out with Zek and practising Two Steps Behind on the guitar, I managed to finish up my decomposition report waaay before I expected. I thought I had to slog till 3 am but I've printed it out even before midnight. Sweet. However, I cant remember how many times Ive repeated my playlist. Well its actually the whole The eagles best of album plus EonE's version of Kau Ilhamku at the beginning and Ella's Teruja at the end. Nice.
I think I havent fully recovered from the chocolate sugar high I recieved at Chocol'art. Zek, I can still taste the chocolate! And I still want some more! At least I've still got half my crispy egg noodle in the fridge for lunch 2mrw. Yeaaayyy. Ive been craving for it for the past 2 days okay, gimme a break.Okay. Up next is finaaaals! DAAAAMMNNN..Owh before tht Shrek 3 n hopefully the sydney jazz n blues festival on sat. okay, off to watch old epis of Gol N Gincu!!! *peace*
Stuff me with chocolate chips and top me with pink buttercream icing and blue hearts
*sobsob*. I wana go homeeeee! My parents took a whole week off for the school holidays and they're dutifully wasting their time in Penang. Gah. I waaaaannnnnnttt! I want Cik mimi's rendang and Kari Ikan. Damn. And relaxing by the beach! Jealous much.My mom says my granma's memory is getting worse. Its getting pretty scary. I don't know how I feel about this yet but I just hope if anything happens mummy and Cik Mimi would be alright. Darn. Now I'm getting flashes of Maktok's toothless grin. Okay I better stop before I start tearing up.Another reason I wanna go home soon: Cuppacakes!!. I'm hating myself right now. One because I can't have them cupcakes. Two because someone else thought it up before I did! And their cupcakes are BLOODY NICE! I'm SO jealousssss!!!!!!! *sobsob* some more.Okay. As you can see, I'm not really stable right now. I keep wanting to stuff my face with icing. Haha. But seriously. It's the stress and the procrastination catching up on me. So pardon moi while I go release some tension by vacuuming the dining room. *peace*
Someday you'll sing it out loud, one day this'll make you proud
I think we are the reflections of our parents. For us girls, it is especially apparent in the similarities we have with our mothers. I mean, we do get a healthy dose of traits from our dads as well, but naturally, since we're females, our mothers are our number one role model when we're growing up so we end up mimicking her. Even if we hate to admit it, we are turning out to be like our parents, consciously or otherwise.
When you look at someone's parents, you observe a lot of similarities that make you go 'Aaahh…so THAT's where they got it from!'. It's quite fun actually watching them interact and you get to see how alike they are. For instance, Erin's parents are here and I noticed that she gets her whole 'selambaness' and strong personality from her mom. She also happens to get her fondness of having lengthy discussions from her dad. Her parents have such great character and it's no wonder Erin turned to be just as great as well.
Fini's parents were here as well a while ago. Her mom is such a sweetheart! She's more of the 'ayu' kind but she appreciates good humour and isn't shy about laughing out loud, which is pretty much like Fini herself. She's also quite bookish which is apparent in Fini's love of curling up in bed with a book before she dozes off. I think Fini gets her strong principles and self discipline (trust me, it actually IS stronger than you think Fini) from her dad. And likewise, these combinations turned out quite well in Fini.
All those thoughts of their parents made me think about my own characteristics. If you were to see my dad, you would know that I get my laid back attitude (must be all those Sunday mornings reading the papers with the stereo blasting 80s rock) from him as well as his weird sense of humour. If you were to see my mom, you'd see this small woman with such a huge, warm smile whose principles are not easily swayed by other people (actually, my brother gets that. Not me. :D). She can amazingly talk and listen to anyone and is quite emotional. Oh boy, is she emotional. It's not so much of crying and pouring her heart out, its more of saying the right things that involves matters of the heart and she does take all of it very seroiusly. Yes, THAT one I got from her. Hee.
And um, while I was listing down these criteria, I had a mental flash of my mom clasping her hands while retelling one of her colleagues' jokes and as she threw her head back in that famous resonating laughter of hers, I started crying. I don't mean little tears streaming down. These were full shoulder heaving sobs. And it felt GOOD. I haven't cried like that for the past 3-4 months. Ah well, at least my pent up homesickness released itself. Now I feel better. I still miss her and the rest loads but I can push it aside for awhile or at least till the next time I feel stressed. Muahahahaha…
I don't mind turning out like my parents. I see that they've turned out well Alhamdulillah. There are some traits that I wish I could emulate, like not giving a damn about how other people perceive you, but perhaps these things I would still have to learn myself as I grow older. We'll just have to wait and see 20 years from now eh? *peace*
