Insanity, Craziness, Just Plain Madness.


You know you're crazy...

...When there's a whole week of holidays and yet you chose to stay back ALL alone in the hostel while the majority of people have already went back to their respective hometowns.

...When you can actually go back home without worrying or deciding what to eat next but you chose to cook on your own when you don't even have the potential to cook.

...When you can actually ordered a FAMILY SET which caters for 3-4 people and share it with a friend.

...When you shopped like mad at Giant hypermarket.

...When you actually think that you can cook.

Some pictures to decrease the level of insanity of this post:

Borrowed library books to complete the Intro to Communication Studies major assignment

Bacon+fried egg+lettuce+guava juice = Last Saturday's breakfast.

Mushroom and Herbs instant macaroni. Nice to eat, easy to prepare.

The Family Set RM10 voucher at BBQ Plaza.

Will be home alone for one whole week. I'm a boring person. Yes i know. And also, i'm completely out of my mind. Shoo!

Satisfaction.


As i'm typing away right now, i'm listening to Jim Brickman. His piano pieces can calm my nerves, so that i can feel some peace within myself. Inner peace, that's what i need most at this point of time. I love to blog when everything is just so peaceful and quiet and calm around me. It gives me some focus so that i know what and how to blog. Hopefully, this entry will be a successful one. Successful in terms of an orderly entry. Wish me luck.


Today is the last day of Week 10. Week 10 of the Monash Uni academic calendar i'm rambling about. How time flies. It's the 10th week since i entered Monash Uni. Didn't do anything interesting or special except for the fact that i've been planning and doing and typing and thinking and rushing for my assignments for all my 4 subjects: Contemporary Worlds 2, Feature Writing, Introduction to Communication Studies, Marketing. Hurrah... there's still like 2 more presentations, and 2 more major assignments to torture the hell out of me. This is the life of a Communication student. Super duperly hectic!


However, please take note, I AM NOT complaining about my assignments and presentations ok. I'm enjoying every single thing i'm learning. It's fun. Really. Heeeeeeeheeeeee. I love the thrill of having to rush for my assignment when the deadline's just the next day. It's like speeding illegally on the highway. So thrilling until it gets a bit scary. =P However, it's the end rewards that motivate me to take my assignments seriously, the satisfaction gained after completing the assignments, the sense of achievement at the end of the day.


*flashes her smile*


There... having just completed my major and last Introduction to Communication Studies assignment (it's worth oh-my-God 40% ok!), i feel the sense of satisfaction and achievement. I feel useful once again. And not to forget, i feel blessed.


Thanks be to God.

1.20am blog


I feel like my mouth is about to explode any moment right now. Been having this ultra super-duper freaking painful ulcer (I THINK IT'S AN ULCER). Or maybe not, the second possibility of this is the growth of my wisdom tooth. I really don't know. I'm just very much in pain and really pity myself as i have to open my mouth and stretch my jaws once in 5 minutes so that it won't be too much of a pain. It's silly i know... i look like a retarded shark somehow. Grrrrrrrrrr.


*whines painfully*


My relationship with my roomie is a very strange one indeed. After much silent participation observation, i can proudly come to a conclusion that she's very very VERY glued to her BoyF. And you should take a look at her super-routined lifestyle, it's one of a kind man. She sleeps a lot (more than me, imagine!), go take a shower right after she wakes up in the morning (mostly afternoon), then after that she will turn on her laptop just to webcam and msn with her BoyF. Her webcam is practically on throughout the whole day! Gosh. They can talk for hours on the phone. I wonder why is her BoyF so free. Hmm... Talking about boyfriend obsession. A very unhealthy sign in a relationship. No? Yes? I dunno, but i think so. Oh yah, she watches A LOT of drama series: cantonese, japanese, chinese. She seems to be SO FREE considering the fact that she's actually a science student majoring in biotechnology! Puff! And how come i'm always so busy considering the fact that i'm an arts student majoring in communication? I thought arts students can be quite slacking... but why is she slacking much much more than me? Why oh why?

Maybe i'm just too obsessed with my assignments... maybe i'm just too kiasu... maybe i've learnt a lot from my past A-level experience until there's a little voice in my head repeating the same thing over and over again: "Learn from your past experiences, Yina! Nothing is impossible!"

And no, i don't have the boyfriend-obsession syndrome. Thank God. Heeeeeeeee.


I guess it's the raining season now considering the fact that it rains almost everyday. There goes my hope of swimming under the hot sun. :( The coldness of the air-cond right here in my room can really freeze my thoughts so much that i can't even think of what to say in my next sentence. This is a thought-freezing moment of mine. Please congratulate me.


As you can see, my thoughts are all over the place right now. I'm blogging... out of random... so not in order. Anyhow, i guess it's better for my brains to get some rest. I'm not sleepy but my mind is exhausted. I shall blame it on the air-cond. Bah! I don't really dare to go off the air-cond coz my roomie's not afraid of the cold considering the fact that she can just wear a spaghetti strap and shorts to bed! Whereas, i'm the total opposite of her. I wear long sleeves and long pants and a pull-over sweater (sometimes to the extent of looking like an eskimo) to bed! How funny... two people wearing two different kinds of clothings in the same room. I need more fat to keep me warm!!!!!


*zoning out*


P.S.: I'm not complaining about my roomie. Please take note! I'm just whining. I so need to whine i dunno why. I can still stand it... her boyfriend-obsession syndrome i mean. Suddenly i wish for a single room... ARGH.

He knows I love him


After being together for 3 long years, after all the happy and sad tears, happiness and sorrows, the good times and the not-so-good times, being sweet and extremely crappy to each other, we are still able to sing our own love song...

September Eleven.


FINALLY... i have a bit of spare time to come to this website and blog. True enough, i do miss blogging. Anyway, i guess i need to blog in order to organise my thoughts so that they will be placed in order instead of all over the place. My thoughts are always all over the place anyway. Hmm. Good? Bad? I don't know... please tell me.

I know the readers can sense a teeny weeny bit of emo-ness in the air right now...but heck, i'm trying to keep my blog as lively as possible even though deep down inside my heart, i'm as emo as ever. Ok, just put it this way - enjoy my blog as it is. Yup, i guess i'm restraining myself from getting over-emo just like how i restrain myself from revealing too much in this blog. Maybe i need to get my own PRIVATE AND PERSONAL blog. Yes? No?

The last weekend was well spent at my uncle's place at Kota Damansara. It's nice to see my uncle's family again. The cheeky boys and the shy baby girl. The old grandmother who missed me quite a lot. Oh well... at least it's a weekend without giving a damn about ASSignments. All i did during the weekend was to sleep and eat and read my novel and watch my jap drama - 1 litre of tears, and again... to sleep. I guess i've slept way too much that i can't even think straight right now even though i just managed to complete my marketing assignment. Is it really too much of sleep? Or is it just... me?

So far...i'm proud to say that i've enjoyed my Uni life. I'm enjoying all my classes (even for Contemporary Worlds 2). Yes, it's true. I guess i'm lucky enough to be able to decide for my own future. Even though there are endless assignments, i still do appreciate the fact that i'm able to understand what i'm learning and doing and applying it when it comes to doing assignments. The grades that i've obtained so far from all assignments made me a happy and satisfied person. Over here in Uni, D is no longer the Donkey during primary school/secondary school/pre-U. D means another totally different thing over here... DISTINCTION. What a big, big difference. The "D during pre-U and before" and the "D right now".

Last week, i had successfully produced my very first feature story titled 'Thou shall not hold hands?' for the second feature writing assignment. The process of producing a feature story was quite intimidating at first but gradually as I interviewed the people that i needed to interview, it was a pretty good first-timer experience considering the fact that this is my first feature story. The interviewees were very accommodating and talkative and thus they were a great help to me. And thank God i've managed to write my feature story the way i wanted it to be. It just helped to put a smile on my face at the end of the day. My feature story i mean. (:

Today's September 11. Reminds me of my Contemporary Worlds lecturer - Dr Tang. Maybe it's due to the subject he's teaching - Contemporary Worlds II. I dunno. All i know is that Dr Tang is a very, very knowledgeable man who knows practically everything and anything under the moon. He's damn witty and i dunno why. Hmm...

For your info, my mum reads my blog. *gulps*

Hmm


I've decided on the topic of my feature story and i'm so gonna just stick to it. Yup, that's it! Will reveal more on this after i'm done with it. I realized i'm really very fickle-minded by nature. Oh well... The last weekend back in JB was as nice as usual but one thing that bothered me was how my mum nagged at me :
