Life's like that.

To finally update my blog is an amazing feat for me. As you can see, my blog has turn from sad to pathetic with so little updates. I do try, honestly *guide's honour* But with my camera failing on me, I have little to nothing to talk about. Burger and I have also been trying to save up so we haven't been visiting anywhere. Sometimes we do go to the movies or have the occasional Wendy's or KFC (Wendy's nuggets are simply superb! Damn yummy!) Other than that, we simply just kick back at either his place or mine, watching his DVDs (like I said, he kept trying to make me watch all his favourite hantu show, alien show, space show, monster show, spy show...) I've been trying to save up for my trip to Bangkok in February, for a new camera, for a new phone and also for language class, if possible-lah. Those people with language subjects in uni are really lucky, they get to take them for a small amount of cash -I think- Those people who has people teaching them Mandarin since young are also as lucky. Urgh, I am a banana T_T *depressed*

Anyway, I really feel like playing Sims 3! Buying the original is kinda expensive (100+) but buying the ciplak one might either land me in jail or the thing might fail on me. By the way, even the ciplak ones aren't cheap nowadays! When I bought the ciplak Sims 2 in Penang, the price was 1 disc for RM5. As there were 4 discs, I have to pay RM20! Lucky not rosak!

Now I'm trying the pirate way but the internet connection is not so good in this house. Someone just go get me one lah XD

*Mum visited me last week. Was really happy to see her. Too bad it was too short a visit*
**This semester effing sucks. Especially Moral Studies. Too many assessments! Imagine 2 quizzes, 1 presentation, 1 individual assignment and 1 group assignment. And finals! In only two months! Damn toot right?!? Anyway I was having my Social and Business Communication midterms last Saturday and also my presentation! Didn't really have time to focus and prepare for my midterms and my heart wasn't really in it as I was so worried about presenting in front of 90 students, zzz! Hopefully it turns out fine lah!**

Reflections: 19th October 2009

I've been back in KL for a week already, probably a few kgs heavier, due to my constant food binging in Penang. Burger's mum has been religiously stuffing me with food and getting me this and that, groceries especially. The little fridge in my house that I share with 4 of my housemates could not even accommodate her excessive generosity...I think I take up around 50% of the fridge itself. I feel bad - real bad, for so many reasons.

Reason 1: Gaining weight. They say happy people gain weight. Especially happy couples. Well, the myth is absolutely true to the T. Burger and I are consistently gaining weight for the 6 months since we got together. My sis is like Mr. Marshmallow and her bf is not getting any thinner either (well his leg was broken and he has been at home mending for almost a year - I guess maybe that's why he's getting fat.)

Reason 2: Hogging up the fridge in the house. Especially the freezer. One of my housemates bought a bag of ice from 7-11 and that's all they have in the freezer. There is half a chicken, some ready fried lorbak, fish cake, dory fish, sausages. All mine. I haven't even started on the fridge yet.

Reason 3: Feeling bad for throwing food as I can't finish all of them - they've gone bad. Yesterday I've just thrown away a bag of vegetables which consists of 2 Japanese cucumbers, a longish cabbage, half a round cabbage. A few days ago I threw away some rotten ginger and onions. I also threw away some rice as there was an infestation of fuckin WEEVILS!!! Eww. There were tons of them and I was too disgusted to be able to live with them in the house so I threw the bag of rice away. Gross, got even those little larvae type weevils. Argh, my hair still stands when I think of them. I got a small bag of rice this time...1kg, haha. And I bought an airtight container for both my rice and pasta. I just threw some 1 month old swiss roll I left in the fridge. No mold, just old. I also threw a 1 week old swiss roll. Burger's mum has a tendency to buy me cake or swiss roll every time she buys herself some...which I have trouble finishing. I only go to school for 3 days every week for 2 months...with only 3 classes each week. Sometimes I grab biscuits for school instead of cake (because biscuits already comes in packaging) Those biscuits were given by Burger's mum anyway XD

Results were pretty good...wish it was better though. Anyway, so far I've done fairly well in college for the past year. With a total of 10 subjects I've taken, I managed a CGPA of 3.4 Not too shabby, eh?

I know there are people with better grades out there but for me, I'm trying not to compare myself with others. I know what I'm aiming for in life and that's all that I need. :) Though this is a short semester, I hope to do well in it as well. What's the point right?

Missing family...but Burger and his family are taking good care of me here, nothing to worry about.

***Burger & I was watching Tom & Jerry yesterday. Couldn't believe that was what me and my siblings did a long time ago...time passes by so quickly!***

It was a dream...

Last night, I had a dream. I dreamt about friends from my old school days. Everything and everyone was so vivid and I remember those who were inside so clearly. I see them as who they were 4 years ago, wearing school uniforms. In my dream, I had been gone for a while (almost like as long as 4 years!) Surprisingly, when I came back, those whom I used to hang out with didn't say anything to me. Though there was this girl whom I consider one of my close friends was talking to me, acting as my guide in the dream. I remember her asking how I was and everything, she is just like who she is in real life, real caring, even the tone of her voice was the same. I asked her why no one came to talk to me and she told me, probably they were waiting for me to say something. I told her it will be too weird to just go up to them. Probably I was feeling awkward.

I went up to one of my bestest friends in secondary school. I just said "Hey!" with a light smack on her back and she "Hey" me back. There wasn't any awkwardness. It felt so natural, even in the dream. I think I woke up after that.

But dreaming about it, it makes me think. Am I reminiscing? A little. I think I miss those people. I guess we never really keep in touch after graduating, everyone has been busy with their own lives...and we rarely keep ourselves updated with each other anymore. I know that there will always be this bond between us and that we're comfortable with things going this way...each of us understands that being separated doesn't mean that we aren't friends anymore.

The dream left me with good feelings. Sad feelings...because I realized that we aren't as young as we used to be anymore. That it is impossible to go back to the way we were before. And I miss them...suddenly. It was a good dream. It made me remember.

Back to Foodieland.

Never get to sleep in late as I now have to sleep in the living room's sofa-bed after gotten kicked out from my old room.

That was the first week when I first came home to Penang.

Mum and dad quickly taught me how to play Gin Rummy, so that they will have enough Rummy kakis to play with them. I lose most of the time (like 98% of the time)Still, it's nice to be home...I obliged to them most of the time as I don't really get to spend time with my family, with me being away and all. As long as they are happy right? :D

Anyway, there were talks between mum and I about my upcoming birthday. I have already made up my mind from the very beginning that I will not be celebrating at all with friends (sorry guys) as I plan to enjoy my special day with just family and loved ones (my Burger :D) At first, I wanted to try the E & O Hotel's buffet but after much persuasion from mum, I decided to celebrate my birthday at Evergreen Laurel Hotel instead. There is a 25% discount for every 10 people and it does save a lot of money. The total of invites added up to about 30+ (with so many relatives on each side of the family + some of my mum's friends that she decided to invite) Since she will be paying for it, I don't see why I should stop her from inviting her friends. Just that I prefer to just enjoy myself...you know, more of family.

I also went for a haircut and took off around 3 inches...most people said I look good . Probably a fresher, newer look =) Will post up pictures when I'm free.

Since there are people who have been asking me what I want for my birthday, I've decided to come up with a wish list of my own. I know some things are a bit too much for your budget but what is a wish list if you can afford it right? XD

1) Cash.
This is 100% my number one priority. Let's see. I'm going on a trip to Bangkok on February 2010 so I definitely need money to shop. To eat. To move about.

2) HTC Hero
I want this baby, which I can't afford at the moment. So cash is definitely the main priority. Why I need a phone? Because my shitty one has problems, like not ringing when somebody is calling. Doesn't even show a missed call, wtf. So don't blame me if I don't answer your call =) And why HTC Hero so geng phone? Because why settle for something mediocre when there is something better? XD


3) Bags
I like a few bags from Fossil! I finally decided that I like these two bags the best!

Talita Crossbody, $128

Reid Satchel, $158

I just love red bags, the satchel even comes with a key! How appropriate is that? :D

Anyone getting this for me, there is a Fossil shop at Gurney Plaza's New Wing. Those who are in KL. you can find Fossil at 1 Utama XD Other places I'm not sure already XD

*pictures are taken from www.fossil.com*

4) A car?
Please?????

5) Sponsor my studies at University of Queensland, Australia XD

What do men really want? And what do women really want?

Yesterday, Burger called me and told me that I had won 2 tickets to the sneak preview of Disney's G-Force. The show is okay, a few funny parts here and there, not to mention the guinea pigs are just so cute and cuddly <3>

Which brings me to ponder on this topic, what do we really want? I was lucky to stumble upon a blog of an acquaintance where he blogged about the type of woman he wants (you know, the type to spend your life with) His views on the perfect woman completely blew me away. I was appalled that someone could still think this way, in this century!

That fella which shall remain anonymous wishes that his perfect girl shall be average in looks as he doesn't really go for looks (clap clap in response to this sentence.) He then said that he wishes the girl to be family oriented, so that she can be nice to the elders. WTF? I quote the chap, "As long as she is a family oriental girl which she care the family more than others. Why I need this type of girl? Those girls who care the family will concentrate more on the family matters and will have her full heart to the elders." Unquote. It's not wrong I presume, but doesn't it sound like as if he only wants a family loving gal so that she can be his maid and take care of his parents?!?

The next thing which surprised me until my eye turn O_O was this statement by him, "Fourthly, I wish to marry those girls who didn’t have too emotion in their mood. As I know from my senior and friends, they always headache when dealing with their opposite partner which too emotion. They always quarrel and in cold war situation which will lead to damage a relationship. Remember girl, the best thing that a man can love you more is to pretend not too cleaver. Man will love you more and will listen to you or get back to you when they got problems. Man won’t disclose their problem to those partner who too emotion." DOUBLE WTFmannnnnnnnnnnn...what era was this written man?!? Firstly, if there is communication and understanding between your partner and you then there won't be any quarreling nor will there be any need for either party to be emotional. And wtheck, did I even read properly, GIRLS DON'T BE TOO CLEVER?!? PRETEND TO BE NOT TOO CLEVER!? Utterly, completely astonished by the words he said! Is he trying to say that he won't love a girl that is smarter than him? Gosh.

Anyway, enough with that idiot.

So I was wondering, do men really want to end up being with a woman that you know, fulfill their egoistic needs?

What about females?

Lemme see, the typical shallow male usually go for looks, looks and looks.
The typical shallow female usually go for looks, money and car. Or credentials. Or condo. Either way goes.

Do people really look for their fantasy partners? Can you really find someone that fulfills your dreams' desires and yet love the person for who he or she is?

I'm gonna go sleep. Nite y'all!

An entry for 090909

This date doesn't really mean anything to me. In fact, I'm much more excited for 101010 to come, as it is my daddy's birthday. Sounds wonderful to me, 101010. Probably should get married on that day too, hohoho.

Anyway, most of you might wonder why am I so active in blogging an entry - since I haven't been actively blogging for God knows how long...and not to mention my exam is this week. Well I just want to share with you guys some happiness (LOL)

Since getting together with Burger (Duncan), we have been frequently visiting the cinemas. Religiously, in fact, as Burger is a movie buff. We usually watch a movie every week, if there's anything good. He sometimes try to push some of his old vcds/dvds/bluray movies to me whenever I'm at his house (tries real hard for me to watch them) Sometimes I just don't feel like watching movies, or his type of movies (all boy's show, shoot here and there, Blah!) Quite unexpectedly, Burger dug up his old movie stash and found Harry Potter 3: The Prizoner of Askaban on DVD. He has never watched the show and now he loves it. Gila Harry Potter movies already.

Recently, me and Burger started participating in whatever contest we can get our grubby paws on. I think it first started with Ice Age 3 in Cathay Cineplexes. The cinemas over here are really good, a lot of contests! So far the both of us managed to get free passes for Blood: The Last Vampire from Malaysian Today (the show sucked), free passes for UP from The Star Online (we got 2 passes each and Burger gave his to his parents) free trailer screening for the upcoming movie Avatar (Burger got them from The Star, it was just 15minutes...but it was in 3D though). I also manage to win 2 movie passes from Malaysian Today to watch Orphan, Burger won 2 movie passes from The Star Online to watch I Love You, Beth Cooper. Just recently, Burger won 1st prize from a contest in Malaysian Today and won himself 1 The Final Destination t-shirt, postcard and 4 movie passes. We just watched them yesterday =)

Burger was complaining to the staff at Cathay Cineplexes about how they don't put up the results of the winners for their contests yesterday and today...

I received an e-mail congratulating me for winning consolation prize for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

Though it is only consolation prize but I've won myself RM230 worth of merchandise! Isn't that just awesome? I still don't know what they're going to give me yet though. I'm so excited!

Living here in KL/ Selangor has its perks. Penangites always don't get a chance -.-

Anyway it will really be awesome if I can win The Star's Power of 9 contest...cash prize also good enough for me XD Though it will be sweet if I get the car.

Gambatte!!!
