i know it's stupid. i can't ever be left alone.

it's true.
when im back in Malaysia, i would really really love and appreciate it if my brothers left me alone and not bug me all the time.
Now that i'm here i really really miss my brothers' company.
i miss the noisy-ness of our house.
I miss the screaming and shouting and the pinching and the arguing.
i miss my family...
:(

i actually don't mind it here. REALLY.
Shing and Raymond are great company.
i get all the peace and freedom that i want,
and i can. just. do. ANYTHING
:)

but i really really miss the noise!
i really miss the laughter. i really really miss the tears.
i miss insulting/teasing my brothers.
i miss singing horribly loudly in the car with my them
i miss the secrets we shared that our parents never found out.
i miss driving all the way to ss3 to eat cendol and rojak and chat with them.

i MISS HOME :(

it's so weird that when im here the computer is always turned on and i'm always on msn just so that i don't feel so so alone in this world.

it's so so weird that itunes is always turned on so that i can listen to tmusic so that it's not too darn quiet.

i miss the noise.
i miss the noise.
i NEED the noise.

BAH. emo sessions are cruel.


HAHA. horrible horrible pic coz three of us look really bad...
love you guys to bits.
can't wait to go home so that You, the PEST in the middle can finally drive me around
MUAHAHAHHA...
XOXOXO

i am trying to find information using the uni database.

1.5 years in uni, one year in college and yet i have not bothered to figured out how make use of the uni/college's free subscriptions to the economist, factiva, newyorktimes, etc.
hmmph.. if only they subscribe to cosmo and cleo too, then i could save money on magazines

Haha. i wish.

i borrowed terence's ipod doughnut-looking speakers and am really really enjoying them. i borrowed them because i wanted to NOT procrastinate by surfing through the internet when i should be studying.

Erm. apparently i need to do my research so actually i don't need the speakers at the mo.
i hope he doesn't read my blog or he'll kill me.
but yeah.. if u have an ipod and want speakers, i recommend those.
even if you don't, get them for you computer
they are SO so FAB.
:)

i think is shd go. workWorkWORK..

sorry, no pics for the time being. when my life gets more exciting, they will appear :)

I'M NOT GONNA BE NICE ANYMORE

i just talked to the he who uses my stuff without washing them IMMEDIATELY.
i talked to him NICELY and i came back again to explain why he should wash them but he DIDN'T EVEN TURN TO LOOK AT ME!

i found it so DAMN RUDE AND IRRITATING.
you know that you are WRONG, im being NICE by asking you NICELY to wash after using my STUFF and YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO COUTERSY TO LOOK AT ME OR EVEN SAY SORRY??????

WTF MAN?!?!?!?!?

argh. SO. DAMN. PISSED.
i'm never gonna leave my utensils outside again. and when he asks to borrow my stuff (ie: rice cooker) i will say NO.

YUCK!!!!!!!!

in my attempt to recover from the sore throat that i had caught yesterday, i dragged poor eugene and becks for udon noodle for dinner. and then, i cooked ginseng soup for myself but it tasted HORRIBLE coz i added too much ginseng and salt so i threw half of it away.

Thank God Raymond gave me 'pei pa gau' and now im on the right track to a speedy recovery :)
(actually I still have Eugene's cough/sore throat med that is still in the fridge but i forgot abt it '_' )


anyway, i am currently very irritated and frustrated because one of my housemates used my utensils without washing them!! (and they are at the sink!!! ARGHHH!) I wanted to wash them by myself but then the sponge was soaked with EGG coz that certain hsemate didn't wash it properly. It's so damn unhygenic and disgusting that i feel so damn disgusted looking at it.

that's what happens when u get reshuffled into an apartment with random people of different ethnicity, nationality, race and religion. ARGH!!! it irritates me so so much when he uses my stuff and doesnt take care of them...

I don't mind staying here. in fact i do love my hsemates to bits. It's that some really get to me more than others. ARGHHHHHhhh!!!! i hate it so much when i wanna eat and i try to find for my fork and my spoon and i realize that it's gone because SOMEONE took it and didn't wash it or put it back.

PLEASE RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY!!!

by doing that, you will not only get people to respect yours but repect YOU as well!!!

*ARGH. ANGRY!!!*

BRRR...

it's freezing cold!!!! it rained yesterday and it rained again in the evening and i just took a shower so i'm super DUPER cold..

slept at 1 am till 11.30 am today (when i rushed to the shower, drank coffee and ate cookies, put on THICK thick clothes, and ran to my finance lecture). The sleep was so good, i wanted to skip my finance lecture attend the one on thursday from 4-6pm.

but in the midst of dreaming and trying to wake up, i remembered that i have a movie date this thursday & friday :) We are going to watch da vinci code & have korean barbeque @ chatswood.. FINALLY :)


They were having this buy two movie tix for $15 promo @ uni today. And because all hoyts and greater union tix were sold out, i thought of getting IMAX tix as a surprise for terence (And because i thought they would have cool movies like the 3D version of da vinci code or sth) but when i got home and went online to check the movies & showtimes, the only ones available are DOCUMENTARY SHOWS (ie: the amazing Egypt, Sydney and the deep blue sea)

EuuuGGggghhhh!!!

so i called terence and told him what happened. so yes, im treating him a lousy 3D documentary film. The promo ends this August so im realy really hoping there will be more interesting 3D films next month * fingers crossed*.

btw, according to Men's Health (yes, i DO read them and find them very interesting and entertaining),
people who eat at home are usually happier than those who eat out..

And since I really am in desperate case for more MORE winter clothes, i have been negleting my dinner friends (ie: Eugene and Becks) for more homemade meals with Shing and Raymond.. We had pasta and meatballs for dinner today *yaay!* Besides that, Raymond has taught me how to cook some meals (ie: chow mien) so i have been cooking for myself and terence lately.

THINK of how much money that have saved and UNDERSTAND that i have my needs too.

Don't judge me.

heh.

Maybe I should drag Terence out for some shopping with me this weekend *evil smile*. I saw this really really nice black Esprit blazer/velvet jacket last last week and am still contemplating whether i should get it. It looks a bit too big on me though. Bah. I need winter jackets and leather BOOTS!!!! But obviously the ones i want are abt $AUD 250 so maybe i should wait for HK and see if i can get cheaper, more stylish ones.
:)

lalala...

OWH SHiT.
i didn't study today & yesterday!!!
*bangs head on wall*

it's 5.45am and after hours and days of stressing, heaps of campos and nescafe 3-in-one coffee, E&B computer labs with Andy, monstrous disastrous fights with Terence (and bugging him with heaps of questions), getting bugged by Haeran and Raymond who knows less than me, tears, prayers and sleep at 4 am, I AM FINALLY DONE WITH MY BLOODY FINANCE ASSIGNMENT!!!!

WOHOO!!
(simpson, 2006)

ok now im pissed. and tired and smelly.

i hate it when people take me for granted. i hate it when i take up so much time and effort and do all the work and they do it in the last minute and they ask me how to do everything. and although i really really don't wanna tell, i have to at the end..

hey, it took me 2 frigging days to figure out how to do, it took me hours to finding for information and i stared at space, panicking for hours, without knowing what to do or how to do and you ask me how to do almost EVERYTHING?

walau, that is just too much mann...

"too cold"
you would talk to yourself whenever we cook dinner and the food turns cold and u had to reheat it in the microwave.

"ma qiu fun"
you would complain whenever i ask you to help me out with something. but nevertheless, you would eventually listen.. :)

"you're a very silly/cute girl"
you would laugh at me whenever i do something silly/clumsy.
-_-"

"cause you're my baby and i love you"
you would say whenever i ask why you're still with me despite my imperfections.

happy 13th month Mr. Pig.

i *hate* mondays

as far as i've remembered i've always hated mondays. in primary and secondary school, we had to go to the hall for assembly on mondays, which was great coz i could sleep for *that* one hour but horrible coz it was boring and very long and no one gives two shits about what the teachers were talking about.

i don't like mondays because it's the time when i have to get my ass up to class and start studying continuously till friday comes and i can slack for the whole freaking day. yes, i refuse to study on fridays, unless i really need to which i really do these few weeks.

today i woke up half an hour after my class started and was one hour late for the lecture. This is really bad coz u see, my lecture started at 11 am, and i slept at 2 am yesterday. Tried to, at least.

How tragic is this, the later my lecture starts, the later i get up.

hmm.. on the other hand i finally watched MI 3 last Saturday night with Terence, Shing, Eugene and Raymond. It was GOOD. really GOOD. much much better than the 2nd one. I went shopping with Terence yesterday where he bought himself a Germany World Cup jacket (which i just realised looks like a taekwondo jacket ) and i bought a green bag from Paul Frank. ( i actually wanted to buy a jacket from Esprit and Boots from Nine West but I'm financially challenged u see)

I'm gonna study now. Finals in a MONTH!!!

so i have a test tmr and im freaking out but i really don't think i can do anything about it but wait until death comes. i really really hope that i won't fail. econ is getting harder and harder and i don't understand why it's suddenly so numerical although in a way it kinda makes sense coz economists can't draw graphs all their lives without knowing what to calculate and stuff.

yes, i am rambling.

i have a lot of thoughts about stuff lately. i have been thinking a lot for the past few days and i've realized how fast time flies and that we are tragicly gonna grow old, rot and die soon. sometimes, i think about my friends and family in malaysia and i wonder if we'll be friends forever and whether my brothers and i would still be as close as we are now. i often wonder about how my future would be like, if terence and i will still be together, if i'll be able to get a good job and afford gucci bags and BMW cars and most importantly, if i would be happy at all.

the future scares me in a way.

the worst thing is,
i know that i shouldn't worry coz obviously there is no point in worrying about the future. I know that i should trust in God although sometimes it seems so hard and like he's so so far away, although he really is not.

I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine, For its skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future, For i know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow i don't seem to understand;
But i know who holds tomorrow, and i know who holds my hand...
