This, made my day. I so need that. (Thanks, Maria!)

How I wish it's Friday already.

Mum called yesterday and said that we are all going to Port Dickson this weekend for dad's school Family Day. Can't remember when was the last time we actually went for something like that, but it was years ago, at some beach resort also. Well, won't expect myself to really have the time of my life(it's a secondary school family day, what do you expect), but I certainly look forward to some relaxation. 

I think I'm suffering from over-dosage of fangirlism. Need to stay away from the Agger community at LJ. But, one of the girl said she is doing a picspam of Danny soon! *runs back to check is it posted already*

Yes, I did not do any studying tonight. Am so dead. Mens what? Actus what?


Edit: Ben's latest entry about creation and reaction makes me have insomnia. Lesson of the day, never go TOL just before bed. Those guys are so capable of coming up with something that requires your brain cells to work extra time.

So why am I not? 

Cause I just found the most amazing blog ever and read all the archived entries in one go.

And it's so thoughts provoking that I actually sat there and think. (at some point I'm sure the roomie thinks I'm day dreaming about Agger or Ethan again, which I do pretty much during the footie deprived summer - in the UK at least. Yeay - off topic but - the long wait is OVER.)

This Jez Ashurst is some writer. 

Maybe it's the Gerry style of writing that appeals to me. Oh well.




Am off to bed. Nites.

Found out something which fits the puzzle. Should've known this earlier but guess I was too blind to see it. They knew it would play nicely. They knew if they tell me point blank I won't fold. 

Fine, this is still people vs. thing, if I were to look at it superficially. Discounting the fact that it will be a great experience. I fucking gave that away. Yeah, I fucking did. As of this evening itself. It's too late for anything to be done now.

This, I can take. 

But, 3 years down the road, it's no more as simple as people vs. thing. And no one makes any decision for me EXCEPT MY FUCKING SELF.

No one is pure evil?
10:33 AM

Yesterday sucks.

It's not the Tort paper, no. Tort was fine. Wished I had more time but oh well. It's more about dealing with people that pisses me off the entire day. Well, almost. Until I got home after class and we cook ourselves a nice dinner and played a few rounds of cards. The importance of friends when you are away from the family. I am grateful.

So, anyway, it's amazing or should I say pathetic that a person with so much experience(well, I'd assume that if experience comes with age) can never ever admit that she's wrong? That is why I didn't want to explain or even contradict what she said. But to go one step further and indicate that I'm a person who's unreasonable and with no brain? This is exactly what I'm talking about. And if she thinks my silence is respect, well, she can't be more wrong. My silence is to save my ass. Much as I hate her as a person, she's good in teaching and I want to pass my paper. I'm just glad that she's not any of my family members or my close friends, I wouldn't want to have such a person to deal with. Randy Pausch said, "No one is pure evil. Give them some time and they will surprise you. When people do something that piss you off, you just need to have some patience." Well, to her, I'd say screw it. I don't care. Some people are just not worth the wait. I'm angry because despite how much I want to stand up for myself, I can't. There's bigger things at stake. This is exactly why a student's life sucks too. 

And do you know that sheep is insensitive? How do you deal with that? There's no hint from Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist. Or at least I failed to realise it. I think I should email him or something. Or I guess when sheep is insensitive, we just need to apply the above quote by Randy Pausch.

Oh, and we signed Robbie Keane from Spurs for 18 mil. With all the coverage from .tv itself, I think we are quite safe to say that this is THE big signing for us this season. Yeah, rather him than Barry. I wonder how many accountants they brought in to pull off this deal. With his quality and Nando's quality, it will be a lethal partnership. Hopefully. And oh, he's a Liverpool fan since young, so I think we can expect a lot of commitment and also passion. 

(So long, Villa.)

It's a great place to be.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 10:02 AM

Just when I thought I got nothing out of the whole MAA situation, I was proven wrong. I even started blaming it on the universe for not conspiring for me. Wise. 

Well, once and for all, I'm fine, people. Really. I don't need more hugs LOL. Actual or virtual. I'm going to die of suffocation if I were to be given one more hug. BUT, I do appreciate all the kind and comforting words. You guys are great friends. And for those who are going to the show, just be greater friends and tell me every detail of the experience!

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want." Initially I thought it doesn't apply to my situation. I mean Randy Pausch was talking about NFL dream. But the things I learnt from this situation of not being able to go to the show, is experience in a different way. And I need to thank Alberto for the philosophy, the people and things and the whole dependency issue, and most important of all, showing me that there's a great place to be in every sucky situation. It sucks, but I can't change the cards I'm dealt but I can control the way I play the hand, right?  You are a great friend, mi amigo! So, it's 40 euros altogether? I'll write you an IOU. Heheh.

Ok, am off to study for the Tort paper. How (not) interesting. Don't think anyone is lagging behind as much as I do. I'm dead.

That says it all. I hate how every little incidents turned out today. Like how the Islamic Law lecturer whom I presumed doesn't know my name called my name out loud in lecture when I'm highlighting the meaningful parts from The Alchemist. Like how that I missed a huge portion of the Click concert footage on MTV, I saw like the last 5 seconds.  Who cares that I won the next 3 rounds of Chor Tai Di right after the footage ended. Who cares. And as a result, I kind of hate how the day turned out. 

Things were, above all, confusing. And undesirable. 

But hey, like Paulo Coelho said in The Alchemist, the sky is the darkest before dawn. And right before someone found their treasure, things will be the toughest because that is when they will be tested with everything that they have learn along the way. And that is also the point that most people give up. The point where if you dig another inch and you will hit the chest that contains gold coins. 

Hope things will be better by the end of this week. 

We will survive. (Ohh, the image of Nole doing the Karaoke at Roland Garros last year is all over my mind now. Gahhh. Novak Djokovic!)

This is what I have been doing the whole weekend. Sudoku, Sudoku and Sudoku. Went to Popular on Friday and saw the book with Q Jin, and was like "wth, just get it la, too much ipod quiz in lecture makes my neck hurts." It took me forever to solve my 1st ever puzzle, but I'm hooked.

I did nothing yesterday except that. I'm doomed.

On a side note, I'm once again surprised by the stupidity of this certain supposedly human being(but his mental capacity made me doubt that he is one). For those of you who know who I am talking about, good for you, perhaps I need Wesley Gibson to curl some bullets for me. For those who don't know, don't bother asking, just in case it's you. LOL.

too much fun, too little work done.
Friday, July 4, 2008 5:58 PM

That pretty much sums up what the last few days have been like. Besides the usual lectures and tutorials, I have been getting nothing done except having fun like it's still the holidays and yeah, it's no good. 

Went out with Sara, Q Jin and Rachel(Sara's sis) on Wednesday and we really had a great time! It was your usual movie and camwhoring session but they always say it's the company that matters. Saw Wanted and I really really like the movie. Except I still hate the fact that Angelina Jolie is in it. But I have to say James McAvoy kicks ass. After watching Atonement, I have to say I have doubt about him playing Wesley Gibson in an action movie, but he is more than convincing. He got us all laughing, screaming and answering his random questions in our seats. Seriously, he just go "What the fuck have you done lately?" towards the end of the movie. And no, Wesley, 6 weeks ago I was NOT pathetic. All in all, the story line is quite good, with all the twists to keep us intrigued throughout the movie. Love the humour, love the guy, love the story line, but I have to say I'm not a big fan of the special effects. Bullets that curl?! Yeah right.

After class yesterday, watched Hancock with Sara and Rachel. Well, I have to say this is not a movie that is worth seeing it the 2nd time. It was ok, I mean it's Will Smith so you definitely got your fair dosage of humour but the story line is a bit off. What's with God making them in pair and they usually pair up and die and all that shite. It's sort of like they can't find a good explanation for his super power and so they just simply pick one off the trash cans. This is the lamest superhero movie I've ever watch in term of story line. All that hyped for nothing. One point though, Jason Bateman is good. He don't need to do much to get you laugh like hell. Or maybe it's just because of the way he looks, so he just need to say a line in his straight face and you'll start cracking up. And ru, he seriously looks like Xabi in certain aspects. Especially the nose. But Xabi has got nicer cheek bones though. Maybe Xabi will look like him in 20 years time huh?

After I got home from the movie, Joceyn the roomie, Jojo and Ah Pink asked me to go with them to MP for steamboat at Seoul Garden. Between the bread which I got earlier and a nice steamboat for dinner, obviously I chose the latter. Gosh, the fun we had. It's NOT good to laugh so hard when you are full, as we found out the hard way after the dinner. Oh yeah, I had 8 scopes of their i-still-havent-figure-out-what-flavour-is-that ice cream. It's really really nice. It ranks up there with my Baskin Robbins rum and raisins. And after the dinner, we did something so crazy that I'm putting myself on tight budget for at least 2 weeks. No more nice food, just mixed rice will do.

Damn toothache!
Thursday, June 26, 2008 3:58 PM

Haven't been sick like this in a very very long time.

1st felt a bit feverish before dinner yesterday and hence went to sleep right after dinner. And the next thing I know, I was woken up by this severe toothache in the middle of the night. It's even more painful than when I was having my braces on. And because of that damn pain, didn't get any sleep at all. Should have just wake up and watch the Germany match instead of lying on the bed and not being able to fall asleep.

Worst thing is, don't know what was I thinking, woke up having a bad fever and yet still went to class. All I can say is, that Criminal Law woman is damn lo so. She just talked and talked and talked and talked. About the same old thing that she's told us endless times. By that point of the time, my throbbing headache is beyond tolerable already. Took 2 panadols FINALLY(yeah, people who know me well know I'm not a big fan of Panadol) and came back and slept my head off.

I'm well now I think. No more fever, no more toothache. And I declare myself fit to watch the Spain match! Vamos Espana! Oh Aragones no more stupid sub like guitar for nando please. Spain needs to get into the final. This is my 1st semi after the Liverpool CL one and I'll kill myself if it ends in heartache again. Urghh, sometimes I hate what football do to me.

I feel good!
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 10:25 AM

Despite the bad connection, oh, when I say bad, it is BAD. Bloody Ixora. Getting our own Streamyx soon. So yeah, despite the bad connection, there's basically quite a lot to make me feel good since I last update.

For one, it's good to finally see the girls and the guy again after the semester break and catch up. Well, I was babbling about Ethan and the Click to Sara most of the time and she was telling me about her trip(or the *ahem* she met =p), and I missed talking to her the most! So, I say good thing you didn't turn up, whatever your name is, you Islamic Law lecturer.

And remember I was saying how much I love this new apartment. The thing is, we didn't really get to know the people staying here when we moved in. And last night, I don't remember exactly how we decided, but I think it was Peipei who suggested it, and we did it the old school way, ice-breaking. No joke, we all sat in a circle in the living room and start introducing ourselves, exchange numbers and talked a little. Well, all's good after the bonding session and I have to say I won't judge a book by its cover anymore. Never ever. *ahem* Pei Pei *ahem*. They are all nice people and I have a feeling we'll all get along just fine. We even got a house warming organised for next Thursday ok. Or not housewarming but whatever you call it. Yeshhh, steamboat!

On a side note, just got up like 15 minutes ago and I haven't wash up yet cause decided to blog while the connection is still ok. And I usually don't like it when I dream, be it a good or bad dream, cause it means I didn't sleep well. And I remember my dreams clearly most of the time, and I find that annoying. But boy, I had a GREAT dream last night. It involves Ethan crashing at my place and using his laptop in the computer room and sleeping in my room. On the mattress on the floor. Well, of course in reality it will never ever happen. Cause 1st of all, Ethan WON'T crash in my place, ever. And 2nd of all, I would have ask him to take my bed and I'll sleep at my parent's room or he can even take Chris' room if he is not there. Like hell I'm gonna let Ethan M. sleep on the floor, with or without a mattress doesn't matter. 

I'm laughing my head off when I woke up and recount the dream to the roomie, but hey, a girl can dream right. Literally. Exactly why I say Ethan Mentzer turned me into a teenie. Damn. I need to get back to my normal self. This is a side that I have lost touch since I was 14?!

Coffee is my friend. Black coffee is.
Monday, May 5, 2008 11:47 PM

I'm addicted to coffee. Went groceries shopping with mum the Saturday after I got home, and got my top-of-the groceries list Nescafe Gold coffee bean. Hey, I bought coffee not to sit in front of the TV and sipping it away while Mac Taylor and co. trying to figure "who kill our vic" on CSI: NY alrite, although I did sip it away while watching the match against Manchester City yesterday night. (wheeee, love the part where Didi came on and the crowd applauding him and singing "We've Won It 5 Times"!) Heheh.

So anyway, the coffee is supposed to keep me company when I'm battling away with my revisions, especially late into the night and the crickets are singing.(seriously, its annoying! that's what you get when there's a huge garden outside the house I guess. arghhh.) Mum is all like "you are supposed to sleep early and wake up earlier to study, your body is supposed to rest around that time blahhh" But, what the hell, my body clock is long time screwed up anyways.

So, I've got another 6 days to finish off 8 chapters on Contract Law before the 1st paper on Monday, and not to mention the bizarre amount of cases to remember. Damn, 6 days and counting. And I don't even know how to start that Indian bugger's subject. So, here it is, cheers to stress. Good thing that there's Wunnie there to complain to though. Thanks Wunnie, if you are somehow reading this amidst your crazy and stressful clinicals.

My fellow coursemates, housemates, and all the unlucky souls with a final exams coming up(Carmen and the gals with midyear exams), let's get this thing done with a fight! You'll Never Walk Alone!

Seriously though, I would rather do the TC5 concert countdown than this countdown. It's depressing alrite. It's ok, I'm looking ahead to the day where I'll be standing in front of the stage rocking to Kyle's "Headlight Disco". Okayy, I'm rambling. I'm off. Don't know when I'll back. "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again~" I don't know why, that song just came into my head. The Jewel version some more. Okay okay, I'm off.
