Keeping my promise

Many years ago, I promised mom that I WILL NEVER EVER SLEEP with my wet hair. I remember vividly that ‘the promise’ was made around 2am++ with my dad as our witness.
=.=”

It all happened when I crashed over at my parent’s budget hotel room when they actually went down south to drive me home (north) – gosh I sound like a princess here (or rather I am!). That particular daytime kept me busy with packing and moving to a newly rented room. I only met up with them after midnight, and being drenched with sweat, I couldn’t help it but to decide to wash my hair. After bathing, I was so tired that I just hit straight onto the bed ignoring her pesters to wait for my hair to dry before dozing off. With a deep-tired-stern-fierce-lion tone, I told her that it was 0% chance of getting a hairdryer in the wee hours of the morning and I just wanted to rest- BADLY.

Dad heard her and he actually went down to the receptionist to try his luck for a hairdryer. Obviously, his attempt failed. After all, what ‘we pay is what we get’.

My couldn’t-be-bothered attitude eventually caused mom to tear…it was then when I felt like being the most prodigal daughter EVER in the HISTORY OF MANKIND.


^_^

I remember my promise and I am keeping it. As much as both my upper and lower eye lids are struggling to kiss each other now, I am trying my best (struggling oK) to stay awake NOW. At least until my hair is dry, which explains why I am here typing this entry now while also waiting for the washing machine – killing two birds with 1 stone…I think no one can beat me on this skill !


The entire preparation process for the previous and upcoming papers is physically killing and mentally drenching. The entire aging process is NOT helping either *kns.
I seriously do not know what will be left out of me after 04122009.




I felt like it was just yesterday when I posted this entry, and now, we are bidding November ‘09 goodbye.

No, I am not quite done YET with my papers….
…………………………

………………………..

………………….

………….

……


It’s gonna be over soon but not YET. Counting down, not only towards 04122009 but also towards 26122009.


Certainly NOT waiting to greet the golden age of 0.25 century, but it’s the only day in the entire year that I can play ‘princess’ !


Look, I marked it with a butterfly! Certainly waiting is also another tiring process, don’t you agree?

P/S : Upon publishing this entry, I went to check my laundry….only to realize my landlady hung my clothes nicely for me already (those who follow me on twitter & FB will understand what I mean here) ^__^

It saddens me when

the fine-and-feeble 4cm lil’ baby fringe-hair of mine shed unto the text I was reading…

RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES.

=(

Spot the difference – Part 2 (The end)

No rewards will be given for the correct answer! =P






It is certainly comfortable. Why la did it find its way into my room during my exams. Such a temptation don’t you think so?
=.=”

A big thank you to my landlords.

This mattress is given to them by their very-close family friend who had just flown back Taiwan for GOOD (due to some unforeseen sudden circumstances) , thus this mattress which was NEW-ly bought is mine now. To cut the story short, initial plan was to replace my landlords’ mattress with the NEW one but they decided to let me have it because their current bed serves them well (got drawer compartment to keep goods etc), and since the other room is occupied by 2 ladies, thus, me, being their single-room tenant has the privilege to have the new bed!

God bless my kind landlords!


Now, did I just hear tiny whispers of crashing in my room!?

Spot the difference – Part 1

Welcome to my bedroom!


‘BEFORE’


Await my next entry – ‘AFTER’

The bling bling

It just came to my realization that despite the whatsoever economy crisis, many happy couples have celebrated their Big Day. Some are currently having much fun preparing for their fair share.

A wedding is not something that explodes out of a sudden; it needs proper planning (at least half a year before the actual date) and perhaps it explains why I hear so many weddings are taking place in the near future despite the not-so-good economy crisis. No, I do not mean to sound like a pro but at least I know all these needs hard work and well, it could be quite fun from what I have heard.

I take a neutral stand on this topic perhaps partly I had to turn down many wedding invitations due to my previous location but perhaps to some of you, all it means is just another red bomb. Due to the current wedding season, it seems that some are hit by a streak of ‘bad luck’ as they reluctantly prepare and accept the near future impact to their bank accounts.

0.o

So much so that when a wedding is concerned , it all rewinds a lil’ to the proposal and eventually leads to the diamond ring …

Man : How big to get ar ?

All it means is how big damage is he willing to cause himself.

Lady : Diamonds are girls’ best friends.

I seriously suggest that ladies should set a standard/clause stating their standards on the size

Not BIG enough = ‘NO’

The illustration above occurs only in an abstract manner. Because the ladies usually say YES despite the not-so-big diamond ring. Yes, I want to emphasize that we ladies are very understanding can? =P

Ah, shameful to mention this but some proposed without anything in their hands and expect a YES in return! I mean common’, it is not about being materialistic, it is all about romance and how do you at least be creative enough so that the moment lasts as a sweet remembrance.

During my final year in Uni, one of my guy friends was planning for a proposal. He came to me for advice and being students, I knew how tight our monthly budget was. He really wanted to propose at that time although I suggested that perhaps he should brush away his thought, at least till after graduation. He refused and wanted to get a ring so badly that he asked if getting a silver band seems ‘Cheap & Insincere’.

I told him that if he really wanted to do it, it was no hurry to get a diamond ring at that particular moment ; a simple ring will do. The real 18K diamond can come later. He gave a good thought about it, proposed with a presentable stainless steel ring and the next thing I heard was they were engaged ! I felt so happy for him, and yes, now being stable in his career, he bought his wife a REAL diamond ring.

For illustration purpose only

This post is solely dedicated to all my friends who are stepping into their next phase of life. My heartiest CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!!
I wanted to add a lighter touch to this entry but I guess weddings shouldn’t be taken lightly since my jokes could be quite lame and may sound inappropriate.

Don’t ask me when is my turn. I can only honestly answer that I see marriage as a challenge.

A challenge bigger than staying in the jungle
*kns

Not freaking out, but the thought of living with someone for the rest of my life does sound a lil’ scary for an instant.

Imagine waking up to see him salivating on his pillow *yucks* or or erm, witnessing my life partner changing physically PROPORTIONALLY with time HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

All these are for the rest of our lives. I know my perception will change in 10 years time but nevertheless, I am thankful that this topic is non of my concern yet =)

There are so many things I want to do…

after exams!

1) Reorganize this blog =)
2) Shop!!!!!
3) Travel – interested to be my travel mate(s)? Buzz me

Urgh..not that many though…but I just cant wait!!!!

Destress

OooO. exams are here.

Stressed?


Maybe not so…

……..
…..



All of different nationalities. Edwin (most right) did a good job in editing our photos! Thanks dude!

What am I doing here instead of being with my books?

Cant help it

As the title goes, I have to admit again that yes, I cant help feeling ‘XXX’ again.
XXX here means I don’t know what I am feeling now!

You all know how emo’ I can be, and how weird the outcomes may cause me to over react etc. But I guess it is just me and all those who love me had very well swallowed some facts about me that can never be changed.

I will be on top of the world; if I permit myself to. The contrary happens occasionally, and that is when I feel like sh*t and usually it is when the ‘thing’ of the month greets me no sooner after. Perhaps I am in the verge on preparing its coming, however I see not its relation to my current situation now.

Perhaps I am getting crazy. But I am still sane. Would it be better if I lose my sanity instead and live ‘happily ever after’?
*grins

A lot of things rushed into my mind lately. Ah you know, just like those mighty roars of waves. Many times, giving up seems like the ultimate solution. But persistence taught me that I could be an ‘overcomer’ with the appropriate attitude. Lets just say I want to be fair; I hope it is not a lie just to not shaken things up. The consequences should be given a thorough thought.

I secretly wish that an angel is here to share and direct my paths. My trust is solely in Him and in Him alone I trust. Studies and exams may be driving me up the wall but common’, it’s only a paper. Life is more than studying and results alone.

Now it struck me – the word is non other than upset. Spare me from asking me the reason behind it pretty please. Let’s just put it this way that human gets upset about many things in their lives (insufficient funds, exams, conflicts etc). Whether they are they not trivial matters, depends on each individual’s judgment don’t they?

A 24-hr mamak in Sg

This is beyond what I have ever experienced. Too much!

Still trying to accept the fact lar *still in state of shock

No No! Not because I spotted a cockroach in my ‘tosai’ or in my ‘teh tarik’ (this is Sg lar – tahap kebersihan at least B+ one) ……BUT ??!?!?!?!

Oklah, I do what engineers are supposedly good at – jotting down in point-form because engineers cannot describe things properly one

Have you been to a mamak

1) with air-con ???! (okay not all, but this one is with air-con)
2) self service one =.=”
3) where you have to pay before you eat – okla, still can accept
4) *Jeng Jeng Jeng – here comes the fun part
You don’t expect to get your drinks/food immediately upon ordering correct? You think McD/KFC meh. Need to give time to who-so-ever to canai your prata roti/tosai/capati one mar. So? Wait lor! Eh wait, but I said self-service just now correct?

Let me introduce, this is Mr. Pager. If the cashier hands you this, grab ‘him’ and you can then proceed to your seat. While killing time, have a sip of your drink (drinks are usually ready within minutes upon payment)

This pager rings when your food is ready. Proceed to the counter, double check your order and collect your food!



You are then ready to savour your food!

Definitely still thumb’s up to Malaysia’s mamak lar. Where else can you have mamaks with cockroaches feasting together with you (without you noticing even) or ‘innocent’ fingers of waiters/waitresses ‘unknowingly’ find ‘their’ ways into your drinks?!

Malaysia Boleh!

Not at the right place!

*pouts

*pouts harder

I am supposed to be in Cambodia! As in NOW?!??! But here am I taking a short break from my ‘Lurve’ blogging and reminding myself how unfair it is because I should have been with them thousands kilometers north ! *kns

Yeah, good question, why am I not ‘there’ now? And Jeremy is not helping because he uploaded photos taken during his journey on Twitter and FB (and still doing so) which made me go gaga!

Well, keep the long story short, a year ago, we (a group of 10 of us, mainly from the group who scaled Mount KK together with me) decided to fly to Siam Reap and from Phnom Penh we’d fly back to KL. And due the promotion, all 10 of us paid only a total of RM 140 for a return flight ticket each!

*screams

Yes, so this is another umpteenth time I burnt my AirAsia tickets. I don’t have a choice do I? 3 tests this week, one down (last night). A week after next I’d greet finals. I guess the sacrifice doesn’t only limit to my falling hair.

So, I stole some pictures from Jeremy’s upload, and I am gonna post them here.



Spot my handsome friend Kok Tung

WOW!!

The Market

Wei Chung couldn’t make it for the trip either, his tight working schedule doesn’t permit him to. Hmm, but if I made it for the trip, I’d be the only girl lady there.

Cambodia, I am coming! Tonight in my dreams! *kns
