So cuteeeee :D

Hyped up!

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!

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!

Pleased :)

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!

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

I AM STILL SICK.

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.

I do this all the time without realising it! xD

Celebrating Yeen Yin's birthday

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

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

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.

Tip of the day

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

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!

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.

Not bad for a day's work

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

1. 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!)
2. prepare questions for a lesson
3. celebrate Christmas!!!
4. get my eyebrows threaded
5. celebrate Yeen Yin's birthday (in advance) with her
6. go to Kuantan whoppeee~
7. call Hui Sin
8. drive drive drive
9. READ BOOKS
10. drink more water
11. tidy up my clothes cupboard (I already gave up on my desk)
12. 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

Friendship :)

The things I can't eat.

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!

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.

This is so cool!

C'est la vie

Well said.

Tumblr reblog

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.

LIKE LIKE LIKE!

Fortunate me

There are 3 great things in this world. the first thing is for you to love someone. the second thing is for someone to love you back and the third greatest thing is for the first and second thing to happen at the same time.

Check, check and check :)

TODAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY!

I'll be working in the morning, have cooking lessons in the afternoon and enjoy a movie in the evening! Now how cool is that? :D

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...

I will be watching The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! Like finally!

Hello, Reepicheep! I adore that talking mouse :)

Money money money

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.
