Ha Ha. I deleted the emo ramblings that were supposed to be the content of this post.
You know Third year is exceptionally hard when Michael Hicks NEVER leaves EARLY like how he used to do for all his papers in Second year. Muahahaha. I sometimes wish I can surgically transplant parts of his brain into mine.
Apparently, according to my Itunes and Last.fm profile, my top three artists are All Time Low, Disney and Eagles. Yeah, you can analyse that all you want. Get back to me on that. Thanks.
By the way, I'm accepting applications for mentors and tutors to help enhance my overall life experience as well as to help motivate me achieve my (logical) dreams. You shall be duly paid. With um....Wasabi Peas. Okla, Brownies.
Oh, and if you can teach me to be happy while getting good grades without complaining about being single or not going out, then I'll pay you with a lobster meal at Fish Market. Pinky Swear.
Yes, tomorrow I am shopping with HC in Newtown. Rarararaaaa. Haha, that wasn't a spelling error! Muahahaha.
Man, only one day left. I'm so tired of waiting and studying. So much to reread. :(
I just remembered what I read on someone's blog a few months back, about how she's been crying for weeks about her job. She can't leave coz she needs the money but she is absolutely unhappy there. So she was in a dilemma. I think she quit eventually.
The 1st thing I thought was, 'Holy Crap, am I destined to perpetually cry bucket loads every time I face a crisis?'. Here is a working mother dealing with her problems through tears. What about me? Shouldn't I learn to be stronger at least?
Well, to give myself some credit, I did hold out until Narnia. That means I coped through the final assignment and two final papers back to back in the same week. Yea. And by the time I stepped into the Ritz cinema, I was already deprived of sleep and happiness for a week, and my hormones started to peak. So I think I did okay. After that was a week of tumultuous emotions but now I'm alright albeit slightly skewed. Sorry, housemates. :D
Right now, I feel like going to Disneyland. The happiest place on Earth! Or at least watch one of their musicals. Hah! One more on the To-Do List! Preferbably The Lion King. Obviously Mel is going with me. Imma embarrass him. Muahaha.
Oh, and I also feel like having some cake with cream cheese frosting. LOTS of cream cheese frosting. Pergh. I'm gonna disappear to Maccas for carrot cake later. Even though they taste like crap. Shh....Ye la, its not like I can get me some of THESE.
Rub my tummy for good luck...and to help me release pent up gas.
I am the Queen of Quick Meals!
I know I'm not a culinary whiz like Liz, who can whip up virtually anything in the kitchen. I'm not like Zek, who's never shy at trying new dishes. I'm not like Hui Chien and Sindy who are deft hands at scrumptious Chinese meals or Hawa, Fini, May, Erin, Jams and of course Kak Long who make amazing Malay lauks.
But I sure as hell make kickass oats with bananas, peanut butter, nesquik, milk and brown sugar. Hell yeah, like this everyday I can lower my cholesterol. Oh and low fat, Logicol, black pepper and herbs loaded tortilla chips. What? Its better than Mcd Fries or Egg McMuffin.
This is what happens when you're lazy but hungry as hell and sick of instant noodles. Oh and you have four tortillas drying up in the fridge. Hee.
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
It's an absolutely gorgeous Sunny day. I drifted off to sleep with images of the beach, apples and a light breeze on my face. Sigh. It isn't summer but a Sunny Winter is still great! :D
I had my rescheduled exam today. Wasn't so bad compared to the previous two. I only have one more to go. I seriously need to detox my body. I'm glad HC is helping me finish off that bag of MnMs. :P
Sigh. I have the urge to dig my toes into the sand. The ocean looks like a thou..okay fine. I'll stop singing Incubus. The colours today make me happy. And that's how I SHOULD be feeling. Hehe.
I feel like going to Marrakech. The souk bazaar sounds very intriguing. Fini, care to join moi?
I am annoyed at Paris for having one too many puppies. Seriously now, she is one of the most idiotic bimbos around. Throwing tantrums in pet shops when employees refuse her purchase.
Haha Shaheera is taking out her crankiness on an airhead celeb. Hahahaha.
Oh another Airhead, Miley Cyrus, is a vegetarian who doesn't eat veggies. Right. But then again, she's just a kid. She just thinks its the 'in' thing. I pray she'll look back on this, smack her forehead repeatedly for 2 minutes and yell, 'Goddamit, why was I so NAIVE and STUPID??!!'. Here's to praying all female teen celebs grow another brain in the future. Instead of bigger boobs.
Have a break, have a Zevia. Naturally sweetened by Stevia, these soft drinks help curb diabetes because they don't increase your blood glucose dramatically like normal sugar does. Considering its approved by WHO, it should be reputible enough. Unfortunately its only available in the US.
There's this cupcake shop by two sisters in Texas located in an antique shop. Now, isn't that unique or what? And the cupcakes of course, look gorgeous. Complete with tiny straws. :)
Just because you talk about people's shortcomings, does not mean you hate them. Especially if they're your friends to begin with. It's normal to address these disturbing facts about them and having a few laughs about it. Like how the people I know love talking about how emo and messy I am. I really don't care. As if they're perfect. Hah!
I love watching the cats play in the evenings. :D
Exams esok! Noi! but Yeay! Oh and two days of NDN sightings back2back! Muahaha
So there I was, all pumped up for today's exam. I wrote down my name neatly on the exam slip. I arranged my stationary on the left side of the desk. That's when the roof tiles started dropping. I mean literally. The Pavilion roof tiles fell off. Lucky noone got hurt.
We had to evacuate and about an hour after that, they told us to GO HOME. :( Us means about 200 students, mind you. Argh I want my exams to finish fast! Now they have to reschedule to after the official exam period. Sigh. Im just thankful it isn't a heavy paper. :)
Okay, I'm off to take a whole day break. I already had a three hour superpower nap. And now, I'm going to search for food. Rarrr.
Yes thank you, now my self confidence has depleted to minus twenty.
Its never enough Shaheera. NEVER think its enough, you hear me? You just keep doing and doing until your head hurts. Regurgitate. Everything. 1 and a half pages is NOT ENOUGH.
You should have drawn the f*cking diagrams.
You, my friend, are the saddest excuse of a scholar I have EVER seen.
I forgot to tell you guys. I won a competition on Not Quite Nigella recently. I'm now a proud owner of a Desperate Housewife Apron. Muahahaha. Okay fine, I know I'm not married, but hey, not all the pretty ladies on Wisteria Lane are/were. Oooh. I can't wait to use it after my exams when I start using my gorgeous Ramekins brought to you by Kak Long, May and Jams. :D
And if I ever lose myself to you, like a million lovers want to do
Woaaah Woaaaahh Woaaaahh WOoooaaaaaaahhhh....
Last night's PMS episode was really funny. It was pretty bad coz it was so silly. The early part of the day involved me being tired, sad and hungry. As I was folding last week's laundry, I started crying these big fat tears with loud heaving sobs. Why? Hell, do you NEED a reason to cry during that TOTM? Okay fine, my reason was really childish and unrealistic. Which is why it was really funny. Haha.
You know how when you're all stressed, you think about situations to escape your current predicament. Some friends wish they were all grown up and married to a rich man, to escape the realities of studying for exams. Some friends imagine they're on a remote island somewhere holidaying with their loved ones. Some friends just pretend they were back home in the comfort of their own room. Sure, at certain times I feel the same way too but somehow, last night, I wished among all things, to exist in some other realm with gifts and skills that surpasses my good looks. Ha Ha. Okay tak klaka.
Anyway, considering all the other options are actually feasible enough in the near or distant future, my fantasy will remain just that. An impossible notion alive only in my dreams. Which made it even more unbearable to face and thus made me burst into tears. And also the reason why I found it funny. :P
But don't worry, I'm feeling better now. I got through today with Alan Wilton's jokes (Hawa, he DOES mention the Unibar quite often), chocolates and Leading Me On. Oh and a huge thank you to my Jedi Master for understanding and accepting all the crap I threw at you last night. Thanks for sticking by through Captain Planet, boybands and unicorns. I'm so sorry for creeping you out. I'll try not to do it again. (Don't let me watch fantasy movies right before my period).
ps: I don't lead boys on do I? I'm not a tease kan? :S
Two down and Three to go! Yes, I'm halfway through my eggzams. Whoopeedoo!
I watched the second installment of Narnia last night. He he he. I actually cried at the end. No, don't get me wrong, it isn't a sad movie or was that awful. I just cried because I wish that really happened to me. And because I'm pms-ing and was really tired. :P I also spent most of the time drooling over the boys. Yes, all three of them, even Skandar aka Edmund who looks like Firamir. Ha Ha Ha. No, Zek, I'm not a paedophile!
It definitely is better than the first one, with more fight scenes and bigger personal themes presented. It's funny how the older kids are the ones with the inner conflicts and who have to learn how to behave in time of need and how the younger kids, who are full of faith, end up being more mature and having the upper hand in certain situations. I personally interpret this movie as one that emphasises the destruction humans and civilisation make on the rest of the world. And how a tyrant does not maketh a king. And the importance of having faith.
SPOILER: Oh and of course, there was a slight addition to the movie where Susan has a thing with Caspian. It wasn't much, considering it's a kid movie, so don't expect romance because that isn't what it is. Just think of a summer fling where you flirt and leave with good memories without any strings attached. :P I swear to God, she was living my teenage fantasy. I mean, you enter another realm, save the world and get the boy. Who wouldn't want that? I'd let Caspian whisk me up to another land anytime.
Anyway, I've got real stuff to do now. I'm wondering if I'll ever grow up one day and if I don't, it would be deemed as a bad thing. I know someone who used to not be able to love me because I was immature. That was two/three years ago. Hmm.
ps: Aunty Azua, I'll put up my pic in the next post okay? :D
Its my baby's birthday! Thank you for allowing me to rant and ramble on you for Two whole years Sweetie. I think I'd go crazy if I didn't have you. Hee.
Hmm. I'm trying hard to take things in stride. What with two final papers back to back this week. I hope I can do it and finish studying in time. I hope the early start in week 11 helps. Right.
Meet my new best friends: Wasabi peas. Pods. Sunflower Seeds. Minute meals. Coloured Pens. Mini Notebooks. Ring Files. Printer. Ilectures. Multivitamins. Mandarin Oranges. Itunes. Chocolates. Guitar. Socks. Nescafe. Blankie. MnMs.
Oh God. My Biotech Report is 45 pages long. No, seriously, it is. FOURTY FIVE friggin pages dammit! No wonder it took me two days to finish everything.
Okay sweethearts, I'm going to complain a bit yea? If you don't wanna read, turn away okay? Oh, and my grammar will suck in this post. So don't get mad okay?
Sigh. My head feels like its about to fall off. But I'm glad to discover that I do have a teensy shred of willpower that pushed me to stop whining about being sick and actually doing something to get my work done. Everytime I feel like I'm about to burst I keep telling myself, 'Sikit je lagi. You can do it sweetpea. You'll pull through.' Yea, I know it just means I like having conversations with myself. But that's besides the point. What the hell is my point? I don't remember.
Egads! I have a full day of studying tomorrow and wednesday and thursday. Oh gosh, I'm so going to sleep after Immunology. That or run away. Just for the afternoon. Shh. Don't tell anyone, sweetcheeks.
Sigh. So yea. There goes two whole days of not studying and reprinting stuff and NEB-ing. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Okay. That felt a tiny bit better. I'm going to unload some of my burdens to my housemates. Muahahahaha.
Want your feet to look like lobsters? Then make sure you grab a pair of Nike Dunk Lows complete with an elastic band at the toes. Check out the shoe box. Creative no?
With the sharp increase in fuel prices in Malaysia, TV SMITH has come up with a comprehensive list of tips you can follow to lessen the burden of forking out huge amounts for petrol a week. I'm shuddering at the thought of an increase in roti canai prices. Now, if only the car prices in Malaysia were considerably lower, perhaps slightly more of us are able to afford a hybrid car like the Toyota Prius or if you want something really flashy, try the Tesla Roadster which runs on electricity. Hey, you could reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions while you're at it. ;)
I'm having a small debate in my head right now, on whether I should go back for Raya or not. I feel really guilty if I were to go back, considering my parents will be spending big bucks for only a week's worth of Malaysia for me. Besides, I'm not going to be here in Sydney for long and after this I won't be able to feel spending Raya with the people here anymore. My family and friends will still be back in Malaysia for many years to come, but when else can I savor Malaysian food at Malaysia Hall with so many different people while we all weep and laugh at everything we miss back home. But then, Izzy and Liz will be back home. Auli will be spending her last Raya in Malaysia before flying to Germany in February. Fini and Erin will be celebrating in Melbourne. Hawa is going for a class trip. I'll only go back for summer in January (later if I go for the Australian Open).
So yea, I'm still really conflicted. I don't want to waste my parents money, what with the fuel hike. They can always use that money to pay of their mortgage or fund my brother's education or something. But its RAYA during SPRING BREAK. Maybe it's time to grow up and recognise the value of money and not be so selfish. Sigh.
You can run into my arms, that's okay don't be alarmed
When its raining hard, plug this in and it'll make you smile. I promise.
Makes me want to watch them live all over again. Complete with the sing-a-longs and claps. <3 If that doesn't work, try the unaccoustic version here.
Who says pop punk peeps can't go hip hop? :D
Apparently incandescent light bulbs will be banned here in Australia by the year 2010. A huge step towards reducing their Carbon footprint as this move will cut 800 000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Amazing. We're supposed to switch to compact fluorescent lamps. I personally hate the colour of these lamps but Lo and Behold, they make those warmer shades as well. So there isn't much of an excuse not to buy them. Besides, they use a quarter of the energy compared to incandescent bulbs which translates to a decrease in electricity bills.
Okay. My hair officially looks like crap. I hate it.
Later in the evening: I feel vaguely disturbed with the fact that my ex bf has the same birthday as my husband, Shia LaBeouf. :P Its the same year too. Hmm.
So these past two days have been pretty great. Company was awesome and food was scrumptious. :D
First up, Indian food mopped up by a group of friends at Matthews. Laughing and talking about inane things. Haven't had that huge group 'discussion' in a LONG time. Hee.
Then, it was followed up by an excursion with the Geek Squad to consume Cupcakes in the City. Was truly fun hanging in that secluded spot in Hyde Park and have Zek and Nadee make fun of me. Man, even with Nadee around I still feel like the baby of the group. Grr....Maybe coz I'm an easy target. Hmm...
The next morning saw me heading off to buy groceries at Mascot and Paddy's with Ayin, HC and Wei Hon. We had Yum Cha and I lost a lot of money. Har Har.
Later that night we had Thai PoThong in Newtown. More money flew out of the window but the food and ambiance was totally worth the money. The company was of course superb! We later hung out at Cam's smashing new pad, where a bunch of Barker boys joined us. The evening was punctuated with so many stupid jokes courtesy of Mr Wei Hon. I will never see Canal Road the same way again...
I also managed to sneak in phone conversations with my family back home and a little bit of studying. Ahah! And a 30 second encounter with NDN when I'm in a positively good mood. Yes, I look carina when I'm happy, remember? Hahahahaha.
So hopefully this bliss and cheerfulness will motivate me to go all out this next month or at least tomorrow where I plan to study and do my assignments. :D Wish Me Luck. XOXO. Oh, and Thanks to ALL my Sweethearts!
