How I hate having awesome moments. Now I'll have so much more to miss when I'm not around. My mind is so messed up at the moment. Hard to think straight and get anything done.

Your words

2011-07-28T15:22:00.002+08:00

This feeling inside of me right now, has to be uncapped and flushed down the toilet.

Melbournism

2011-07-15T22:00:00.002+08:00

Whaddup? It's already the 2nd week of a new sem. Had to stay in Uni for a whole day yesterday. 9am - 6pm. Hardcore. Never like pracs that end so late in the evening. Arghh!

Really enjoyed my one week trip in Melbourne. Highlight of the trip was Crazy Wings (serves awesomely spicy chicken wings). Hobart's chilly weathers make me miss Melbourne ttm. :(

At Southern Cross Station

Cakes at Breadtop

My favourite:
Cookies-n-Cream-looking Magnetite at the Melbourne Museum

Can't wait for my next trip to Melbourne. Hehehe. Needa save up then. :

Another 9 hours before half of 2011's gone. Hitting Melbourne in 2 days!

Bet his head must be aching by now.

Prayers, prayers

2011-06-22T18:35:00.004+08:00

Prac's over. Most importantly, exams are too. :) So glad I'll be having at least 2 weeks off school. And now, the much anticipated break! But with the Chilean volcanic ash cloud going on, so many flights have been delayed and cancelled. Hopefully the rain tonight will clear the cloud up and the airports will be back in business by tomorrow.

The King's Speech

2011-06-10T18:44:00.002+08:00

"Please, don't do that."
"I'm sorry?"
"I believe sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you."
"My physician said it relaxes the throat."
"They're idiots."
"They've all been knighted."
"Makes it official then."

Can't believe I waited so long before watching this. Both thumbs up!

Exam Day 3

2011-06-09T21:01:00.003+08:00

How much more tiring can feeding your brain with info get? Had Chem on Tuesday and am having Bio tomorrow. After that, I'll be 60% done with exams! Can't wait for exams to be over!

Thank God for Sudoku. And the guitar.

Exam Day 1

2011-06-04T11:13:00.003+08:00

"What are friends for?"

They wish you the best of luck when you need it the most and are a great source of encouragement and what nots. :)

I heart thee all. <3

As Truth Unfolds

2011-05-28T18:28:00.003+08:00

I've heard so many stories about you, which I bet, you're aware of. Yet, you do nothing to change to better yourself. I'm ashamed to even declare your existence aloud. If only you could wake up, oh corrupted minds.

Hypocritical beings, are we

2011-05-21T19:09:00.003+08:00

Each time I try to stay tough, I end up with a minor breakdown. Really hope everything will go well next year.

Down

2011-05-19T21:14:00.004+08:00

Dear Friend,

You've been ignoring me for the past couple of months. Wonder what happened. Tried speaking to you but all you do is nothing. That many years of friendship, have they all gone down the drain? Many a things running through my mind, that I wish so much to tell you. But each time I see you come online, I just dunno where to start anymore.

I miss speaking to you. :

The Great Wave of Confusion

2011-05-15T22:23:00.002+08:00

Currently lost in a deep sea of words, in an attempt to finish up 1 out of 3 Bio assignments. And I shall not give in to my midnight hunger and cravings to satisfy my sweet teeth. Nuh-uh. Sighs.

McFlurry Day

2011-05-07T21:34:00.003+08:00

My lacrimal glands can't stop doing their job now. And it's gonna rain tomorrow. Sigh.

2011-05-05T23:16:00.005+08:00

The temperature in Hobart's been hitting the single digits.

I think I need a camera. :

Exams in a month's time. Wish me luck!

Why I Love My Friend

A Sunny Autumn's Day

2011-04-19T20:47:00.004+08:00

Today is just one of those crappy days with significantly crappy moments.

1) Got my test result. Could've done better in it.
2) Bio notes are still not up on MyLO yet. WHY?
3) Someone doesn't trust me. Very disappointing.
4) And I hate how people can be so rude at times.

Someone's really cranky at the moment.
Need. Choc. Ice. Cream.

Ah well, at least I'll feel better tomorrow... :)

How did pre-winter come unnoticed?

2011-04-11T16:05:00.003+08:00

When someone laughs non-stop at the beginning of a Skype video call and asks 'Have you gained weight or lost weight?', you know your worst suspicions are, no doubt, confirmed.

Sunny Autumn

2011-04-06T22:42:00.006+08:00

Thought I'd be able to sleep in today. But no... that tiny internal alarm clock in me just had to trigger my body system awake at 6:59 a.m. I need more sleep! Argh. Anywho, busy week's finally over. Have a strong hunch that I could've flunked my Chem test. Ah well. Better luck next time. Sigh. Had my Pharmacy Placement and Hospital Visit - both done last week. Great fun, I'd say. :) Glad that I'm actually looking forward to becoming who I wanna be. :) And now, to strive for it!

And thank You, for the wonderful weather and the many birthday wishes/blessings I've received. :)

I'm a student

2011-03-29T17:05:00.004+08:00

2 pracs today, Community Pharmacy Placement and Hospital Visit on Thursday, early class tomorrow, Chem test on Mon. Wish me luck. Dear Lord, please don't make it rain on my birthday.

Curse or Coincidence?

2011-02-26T17:09:00.002+08:00

My new pair of slippers that I got just a few weeks back are finally wearing out. Thus, the reason I slipped and fell while on the bus. And no, it wasn't the driver's fault. The bus was parked, stationary, and on my way off the bus, I fell right on my butt, just like that. Overwhelmed by slight embarrassment, I ignored the warm, out-stretched hands and concern of a kind Samaritan. I blurted out a 'Sorry' and made my way out of the bus. Till this point, I remain clueless of the reason behind my apologising.

I do recall two 'falling' incidents I've experienced. One being me missing a shallow drain and me tripping over it (2008). Another involving a flight of stairs, in which I conveniently slided down a few steps and landed, again, on my butt (2010). I do hope this is nothing, but pure coincidence.

To the guy who asked if I was alright, you've no idea how grateful I am for that. God bless you always.

The New Life

2011-02-12T06:56:00.002+08:00

And here I sit (on the lonely computer chair, in Springvale Hostel's computer room), solemnly announcing, 'I have arrived!' Wish I were back in Miri. Now, I'm off to get some things sorted out, while I await the arrivals of my peers.

Where Do I Begin?

2011-01-12T12:12:00.011+08:00

Here's to my first post of the year. ;)

Last time I updated my blog, it was last year. Which makes that another promise that I've made, broken. Sad case. Putting that aside, I've finally met up with some friends I haven't seen in a long while. And, I'm nearly through with my driving lessons. *strikes these 2 off to-do list* Part of me is reluctant to see this summer break come to an end. While the other part of me pestering me to start studying for Sem 1, before I gradually give in to the Lazy Side.

At least, I've got CNY to look forward to. Been helping Mummy bake some cookies. Heh.

Chinese New Year. Now, that's something I can look forward to before leaving Miri. Gonna miss baking cookies. :(

Butterflies

2010-11-28T22:39:00.004+08:00

Gab and Ed have left for KL. House feels kinda empty when there isn't much noise (quarrelling/arguing). But they still are. And it annoys me that much. Brushing that aside, I've sorta been test-driving mummy's car! Well, under her supervision. Can't wait to attend the talk next week. That'd make me one step closer to getting a license. ;)

Home sweet home

2010-11-15T10:03:00.003+08:00

Just arrived in Miri not too long ago. Been feeling tired since I got back. The long hours at the airport and in the airplane itself.

I attended my siblings' Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang on Sat. Pretty happy I managed to catch up with some ol friends and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the changes the school has made! :)

Apart from Msia being really humid and my allergy to dust at home, it's good to be home again. :)

Auld Lang Syne

2010-11-06T04:40:00.006+08:00

Was a really emotional and depressing day for me last Friday. Finally graduated from FSP. And I'm starting to miss all the classes we had together already. Especially the lecturers and all the lame jokes we used to crack during lessons.

Well, that's life for you. Everything has it's ending. Cheers to a bright and fun-filled future, guys! Will miss you loads. :(

Cry baby, cry

2010-10-29T15:53:00.003+08:00

Today marks the second day of FSP '10 final exams. Had my first paper today. Maths. Wasn't very happy with my performance, I'd say. Gah. Probably made silly mistakes again. Will say no more. Gotta concentrate on my other papers (Chem, Eng, Bio & Aus Studies). One more week to go, graduating on the 5th and that will be the end of it, the last thing you'll ever hear about FSP.

Now, for some Sudoku, my current study buddy.

2010-10-24T18:36:00.000+08:00

Here's how we spent our Fri evening/early Sat morning. Completing our last assignment of the year: Computing. I went to bed before it was even done.

I'll miss everyone loads. :(

I saw a clown

2010-10-21T19:25:00.008+08:00

Had loads of fun at the Royal Hobart Show today. We arrived in Glenorchy about 1130 and wasted our first hour queueing up at the ATM. But after that, it was all good. Had another dose of ice-cream, AGAIN. Gosh, this is unhealthy. I went for my first ride on the sky-walker! Thanks those who kept persuading me to go.

Well, half the time, I kept my eyes closed cos I was too scared. =.= Each time I opened my eyes, I screamed and felt like throwing up. I remember clenching on really tightly to the rail, especially the part when we were all flipped over to the other side. I didn't scream as much though cos I was too pre-occupied with thoughts like 'When are we getting down?', 'Is this thing gonna break?' and 'OMGosh I'm spinning the view's making me dizzy', when I opened my eyes.

Considering I get airsick really easily and am slighty acrophobic, I had great fun. If I could, I'd do it again. :) This time, I'll make sure that I open my eyes MOST OF THE TIME.

I had a go at the F89 Minimi. This made me wanna be in the army. Gosh, I'm insane. I keep changing my mind. And no way will I fit in the army. There were a number of vintage cars on display, something my dear brother would enjoy. We walked 3 km back to the hostel, a good reason to burn off the fat. :P

The UV index was high today. Guess that explains my slightly rosier cheeks. My hands are now a lil darker than my arms. And Mr Sun has decided to trace out the shape of my watch on my wrist.

Feeling really worn out at the moment. Must be because of all the fun we had.

Hear the birds chirping

2010-10-20T04:31:00.004+08:00

Here's a really early morning post. It's 7:33 am and I'm already behind the computer. :)

Just had my last test of the year yesterday. I think I screwed up some of the questions. Grr. Careless me. One more assignment (computing) and that's it! Two more days of Uni and it's study leave for us. Needa add more oil. T__T

Took this using Ronan's phone. I know it doesn't look as good as it
was, but I liked how the clouds looked. :)

Sleep

2010-10-18T12:50:00.003+08:00

Stayed up till 2 am just to complete my Bio Prac book (had 4 hours of sleep). I intentionally left it till the last day for final touch-ups cos I know I'd have dwelled on it if I started earlier. But how unfortunate that our Bio lecturer couldn't make it to class today. So yeah, it's still with me. Hope she and whoever it is, are fine. :

I guess we could say that deprivation of sleep does adversely affect us. Take me, for instance. 3 interesting events happened today.

1) Had a lil chat with Ali early in the morning, while finishing up the prac book. Wanted to wish him luck for his Physics essay... but what turned out was 'good the bio'.

2) Went for a morning shower, and nearly rubbed body wash onto my forehead. Thank God for my conscience, I stopped 3 seconds later, thinking, 'Wait, this isn't right'.

3) And I commented on the wrong chatbox. Suan thinks I'm senile. How reassuring.

Hope this doesn't happen during the Exam period. Can't afford to be blur.

Despite the rainy weather this morning/afternoon, we had ice-cream for lunch. Crazy, eh? But guess what? It's super sunny now. T__T

# 24. Can't wait to taste Msian food again!

Santa is coming to town

2010-10-16T07:34:00.003+08:00

More like, EXAMS are coming to town, in 2 weeks time. And I'm already feeling exhausted. Bleh.

Oh yeah... We're MAD.

#26, CRAP that's fast.

Happy 10/10/10

2010-10-10T04:42:00.002+08:00

I hate the feeling that I'm being used. Sometimes, it's just that hard to reject. If only I had a lil more of self-centredness to say 'No'.

For Pete's sake, grow up! No, not me. You. But who am I to tell you to grow up? That's right. No one.

So much on my mind right now. With and essay due tomorrow and exams just around the corner, what could me much worse than having countless pimples popping up on your face?

I don't get it. I've been drinking lotsa water and it doesn't seem to work. Grr... why do pimple creams cost so much?

And the Internet hadn't been working well for me yesterday. Pretty fed up with the fact that my life is gradually becoming dependent on it. But how can anyone do anything without the Internet? :'(

But then again, bad Internet connection = more time to study.

Anyway, one tutorial discussion down, 3 more tests, one oral presentation and another Maths assignment and it's THE EXAM time.

Please, God, help me.

Tsk tsk

2010-10-06T11:30:00.006+08:00

Pretty relaxing day. Nice temperature (around 2o degrees)+ light Chem revision. Ali brought his Mac so... here are some (of the many) pix taken to brighten your day.

Here's us attempting to pull sad faces. I look as though someone had just told me "No more PB&J toast for you!"

'The scream'!

Oh yeah. Epic much.

Hope this didn't give you a headache.

Spectacle-less (except for Suan). :)

Final shot.

Now, if only every class was this exciting!

Thanks Ali for the pics.

Snow and ice-cream(s)

2010-09-29T18:45:00.002+08:00

Whoa. Broke my own record. 4 servings of ice-cream in the span of 3 days... and in the middle of a snowy spring.

Heading out to town this weekend. Hopefully the weather's fine. :)

Teacher : Yes.

Student B: When?

Teacher : Yesterday. You missed it.

One of those sarcastic moments we get in Maths class. :)

2010-09-27T12:59:00.003+08:00

Today's a happy day cos I:

1) finally made a trip to Fish 349 and had 2 scoops of gelati (Ferrero Rocher + Cookies and Cream) on a cone. YUMMEH!!

2) have decided on where to leave some of my stuff before heading back to Msia.

3) had peanuts. Again.

4) enjoyed today's Bio prac (looking for animal activity). Saw lotsa different animal poo and saw a pademelon!

6 months

2010-09-19T23:03:00.012+08:00

I've spent almost half a year abroad. Boy is that long.

Looking back, I guess this being-away-from-homeness does change a person. Let's see:

I used to get upset really easily over the littlest things.
Doesn't happen to me that often now. Either I've optimistically advanced another level, or I've become cold-hearted.

I used to dislike eating veges.
Well, I still do. But I'm eating more of em though my parents aren't here to nag at me to eat em. :)

I'm taking my assignments more seriously.
That's only cos the homework we used to get in high school didn't worth any marks.

I wasn't as independent.
I guess given the freedom here, I get to do things the way I want it to be. With this, I get to learn more about what the world has to offer and learn from the mistakes that I make.

But too bad I get to miss out on f&f's birthdays, festivals and all cultural celebrations.

Anyway, celebrated the Mooncake Festival on Wednesday. Played with lanterns and ate mooncake. Puasnya... XD (Still missing homemade mooncakes :S)

Also had our bbq today. :) And thank God it didn't rain!

Another week off the calendar

2010-09-12T20:52:00.001+08:00

Haven't been able to get proper sleep these few weeks. I think I might be having Insomnia. Nawt. -___-

Dear active mind, how I hate you sometimes. Stop playing tricks on me will you? ):

I've always had troubles sleeping. I can't sleep when there's noise, or when the light is turned on. And, when I do try going back to sleep after getting up, it takes forever. Each time I try to sleep, there's a high chance of my mind playing phases of my life like a DVD player. And usually, these short clips of my life include the ways I see my future, the way I want it to be; the people I'd be with, what I'd do, where I'd go... It's like I'm a director of my own movie (life). Well, I guess I could put it that way. The outcome of my future is going to be exactly the way I plan it to be. I bet the same applies to everyone else. Minus the plans that God has made for us, how we want to live our lives, that's really up to us.

I went to bed at around 11pm cos:
A) I wanted to sleep earlier for a change
B) there wasn't any Internet connection

By 1am, I was still wide awake. Gosh, I really do think there's something wrong with me. Each time I tell myself 'Go to sleep!', it doesn't work. And my mind ends up playing a scene of my 'future' or it starts playing a really catchy tune. Maybe the best solution would be to stop listening to songs... Okay, on second thought, that's probably the worst solution ever! I mean, how can someone like me ever ever ever stop listening to music? I know right?

I find it interesting (funny) how our brain works. Maybe I should change my major to Psychology. Maybe I should stop using the word 'maybe'. It's starting to get on my nerves now. =.= Ah well, that's Michelle for you. Always having a bit of interest in everything. Having GREAT interest in ONE thing, is more of a rare occassion. Still not too sure if Pharmacy's really what I want. I envy those who have their minds set on which course they'd like to take up.

Anyway, back to the topic. Talking about brains, I've always wondered how our brains pick only certain things to remember. Like, why can't it store every single detail of what we've been through or what we've done. Why, when we choose to forget, our brain doesn't permit it? And the same goes for dreams. There are times when we can still remember the sweet/sour things that our brain chooses to play while we're sleeping. And then you get times when you wake up panting or with wet eyes, clueless about what had happened. And no, I've never experieced any pantings after waking up from a dream. Watery eyes, definitely. It's about time someone invented an 'external hard drive' to store all those memories. Or is it already in the market?? -__-

Friday (17th Sept) is BBQ day. Hopefully it doesn't rain then, so we wouldn't have to be stuck outside of TUU.

Start of Spring

2010-09-10T17:04:00.004+08:00

Heh... This is the nth time I've changed my layout. Pardon my randomness. This week has been rather relaxing with a rather bearable amount of work.

So, had a chem prac session after a 2 week chem-prac-break. Have a feeling I didn't do well in it. Always had probs with the prac part of a subject (though it may be fun). Gotta work on em since I'll be doing much more of em next year. And, I just realised that the two clocks at opposite ends in the chem lab show 2 different times, with one 4 mins faster than the other.

Just yesterday, I saw 2 POSSUMS! They were so cute... :) A mother (I think), with her baby clinging onto her back and they were feeding on some random banana peel. Awwhhh...

Work for the weekend:

Globalisation essay
Global Warming

Wish me luck.

FOOD

2010-09-07T15:31:00.002+08:00

I HAD NASI GORENG FOR LUNCH YESTERDAY OMGOSH.

Yes, that says it all, doesn't it? :D
Super happy. Haha. Well, I was much happier yesterday, EATING it.
Kinda miss it now. T__T

$11 for a plate of Nasi Goreng with fried egg, chicken, beef and some mixed veges. And it was spicy!! Ah, the love... Haven't had proper spicy food in a long while. Expensive though, but definitely worth it.

Trying out Fish 349's ice-cream tomorrow. :D

#66 days to go. I'll miss my Math's teacher's spontaneous sarcasm. :(

Rain

2010-09-04T14:05:00.003+08:00

I like watching the raindrops fall to the ground. (=

Not a huge fan of BEING IN IT, however. Absolutely dislike it when it's raining on my way back from Uni. >.< Especially when it's heavy enough that I have to force myself to take out my umbrella...

Just got back from Woolies with a packet of cashews! On sale, somemore! Despite having to walk in the rain, it was a good buy. I is so the very happy now. As you can see, I absolutely love cashews. I wonder what's so addictive about it. Must find some time to investigate hmm...

There was this time during one CNY (when gong-gong hadn't sold off his house in Tong Sang Rd :( ), my relatives had to put this whole tray of snacks (with cashews) somewhere high enough where they thought I wouldn't be able to reach cos I was finishing em off. >< But I managed to use a chair to climb up and reach for the tray. Hehehe... I was young back then. Not to mention mischiveous. LOL.

And many years later, I still remain loyal to cashews. My tastebuds haven't changed since. :)

Anyway, it's term break for the high school and college students and we've got company... 2 functions going on (Christian women's group & some leadership camp). Something like that. Hope it won't get too noisy. >.<

2010-09-03T05:17:00.003+08:00

2010-09-02T20:28:00.002+08:00

Just had my oral presentation today.

Glad it's finally over! :D
Now I don't have to worry bout it anymore! YaY!

Presenting using the lectern and the mike made me miss the MC-ing moments in school. Sigh...
There are so many things I miss about school.

BUT, I'm still fully loaded with incomplete assignments. Q__Q

On the bright side, 70 days more to go!

WORRY is my middle name

2010-08-26T21:07:00.005+08:00

Computing test tomorrow.

Should I be worried that almost everyone says it's hard?

Or I just stay calm and trust myself?

~~And head off to bed.~~

Can't decide which to choose.

But, ah well. Sticking with Option 1.

I do admit I'm a worrier (is this even a word?! O.O), worrying over every single little thing. But not worrying is kinda tough for me. When I do try relaxing, I feel I'm taking things too lightly and next thing I know, guilt comes rushing in cos I feel like I'm not doing anything much but lazing around.

Maybe I've got a brain problem. Wish there was someone who could fix me up. :S

And I should probably try sleeping early on school nights. Freaking tired during lessons. But nah, not used to it.

Ok. Now I see it. I DO have a problem. What's wrong with me?

On a not-so-tiring tone, I've found my new love. :)
PB&J toast ftw!!!
Well, there's still plenty of space (and forever will be) in my heart for chocolates, cookies and cashews. And they all begin with the letter 'C'!

Weekends are just around the corner. And why do I feel like I've just said this?
There goes another week. :(

Anyway, debate tomorrow and oh yeah am I participating. I'll be one of the most supportive spectators you've ever seen. :) :)

Plain memories

2010-08-24T20:51:00.007+08:00

I miss the times when I could sleep early. Long gone are the days when I had nothing but mere homework and occasional tests. Sometimes, I wish I could hit the rewind button. Pictures of my friends and I, chatting happily in class and not giving much crap of what's being taught till exams come still flash right before my eyes at times.

I miss my seat. The people I've met in school. My heavy school bag. And yes, you, who brought great misery to everyone in school.

I realise, I had more spare time back then. Now, the workload is nothing far from a headache. With so many things to do, I just can't decide on which to prioritise. Bad time management, I'd say.

Each time I spend time thinking of which to do first, I either waste time just thinking or, I end up doing a bit of everthing at once, instead of completing one and moving on to the next.

I hope by the end of this course I don't lose my mind. =.=

Speaking of memories, I miss my dog.

Hey there, buddy. You wagging your tail and you jumping about each time you see us are what I miss most about you. I miss patting you too, feeling the comfort of your smooth fur. We all know how much you liked that. :)

Lovely smile you got there.

I wish you never went away.

Joy and misery

2010-08-22T18:09:00.005+08:00

Not eating proper lunch made me lose 2kgs. :D

Well, not to say improper as in unhealthy. :S I simply wasn't that hungry. And I still haven't figured out why I didn't have the appetite to consume anything last week. Either it was the oats that made me full or it was merely stress.

On the slightly darker side of things, I've been having lots to do lately. The usual - assignments and tests. I'm sure this will linger on till the end of this sem. And finally, after I graduate from Foundation, back home is where I'll go!

After my first chem lab session, am I proud to say I haven't broken anything else! *phew

My agenda so far:

1) Chem test
2) Bio oral presentation (and not to mention preparation)
3) English oral presentation (about the course I plan to take + related contemporary issue)
4) AWL (again)
5) English essay (draft)
6) Computing test
7) Computing research assignment
8) Aussie Studies essay
9) English research report

My gosh. Didn't realise I had that many things to do till I typed it down. -____-
Oh, pressure, pressure... Bring it on!

#81 days to go

Heavy workload ALERT

2010-08-19T16:37:00.003+08:00

Thank God tomorrow's the last school day of the week. One more test and this week is over!

Next week's gonna pretty hectic too.

1) Bio oral presentation
2) Chem test
3) AWL test
4) English oral presentation
5) Computing test
6) Draft of English essay

Haven't been eating right. No appetite. Which is weird. Hope it's nothing more than stress...

Hello, rain

2010-08-11T15:03:00.002+08:00

Been raining since this morning. Was like no other I had experienced for the past 5 months I've been here. Almost like the rain you'd get in Msia. Rather heavy and windy, with no lightnings or thunders. ;) But, thank God for the lift Tim gave us. At least we didn't have to wait for the next bus, drenched in the rain.

Tomorrow, 3 lessons (Maths + 2 sessions of English). @.@

Laugh out loud

2010-08-09T21:18:00.003+08:00

And you had to add our names on the duty roster. We've done way more than what was required of us.

I can't help but find this amusing.

Venture into the past

2010-08-07T12:44:00.002+08:00

Had a small chat with a friend this morning. When he told me he went to visit our old school and that he missed the time all of us spent together, I nearly cried.

And when a friend posted as her status on Facebook, asking what are the things that we can't share, I answered ''We can't share the times that have passed which we failed to spend with each other."

It made me realise how much I miss the times I've spent with my high school friends. Not even a year apart and we're already missing each other greatly. I can't bear to imagine how it'd be like in years to come. Sometimes, I picture us sitting a huge round table, chit-chatting over drinks and home-cooked food, filling each other with those special moments in our lives, which we couldn't share with one another.

I'm pretty sure that will come. But, when?

#Thank God for Social Network Sites!

Of assignments and weather

2010-08-06T19:38:00.005+08:00

I've no idea what's going on.

Pimples are popping out on my face. How absolutely depressing. Grr.
And the most interesting thing is... it's more concentrated on the right part of my face. Haha! But I've been drinking lots of water lately! :(

School today was okay. Except for the fact that I'm starting to my assignments flooding in. But none of them are due any time soon. :D Score!

So, let's see. Tomorrow, I'll be discussing with my friends on our group projects for Bio and for English, and I've gotta start doing some research for my oral presentation. Or I'll never start on them! @.@

Just checked the weather forecast for tomorrow. Apparently, it'll be really cold. Temperature ranging from 1-11 degrees, with a high frost risk. @.@ Just when we thought we've almost reached the end of winter, it starts raining and snowing at mount tops. And I've been preparing for spring! :(

Typically, winter here's from the months of June to August. Being mid-winter in July, at its peak, there was supposed to be more rain (or snow for that matter). That wasn't the case this year though. Many said that there was a delay in this year's winter LOL. Walked out of the hostel this morning to find bits of snow on the mount. XD Too bad, I couldn't touch it. Cos it was that far. :( :( :(

Anywho, getting late now. Time for bed! XD

Jiak!

2010-08-03T15:13:00.002+08:00

I. Am. Craving. For. Msian. Food.

I want currypuffs so badly =( *pouts*
Haih.

Maybe it's cos I'm hungry right now. >.<
Haih, must tahan. Dinner soon!

So far, school has been quite ok. I haven't got mountains of assignments at the moment, so I guess it isn't too bad, right?

Had Bio and Maths today. Bio wasn't as bad as I expected. I mean, I prefer what we're learning this sem. Environmental Studies. Not specifically about animals or plants. These two just don't agree with me.

Well, I DO like animals. But I don't get why whatever I read about animals or plants in Bio barely stick in my brain.

Oh, and one thing odd is I'm studying Environmental Studies right? And I'm planning to take up Pharmacy next year. I don't see any connection. Do you?

Like, how would the population of this species affect the prescription of medicines? Hmm...
Well, thank God this sem's Bio is looking good. I pray I'd ace it!

*smiles*

First day of a new month

2010-08-01T13:18:00.003+08:00

Tried going to bed early (12:00) this morning.
By 1:30 I was still awake. Like, seriously?

I lay in bed, with so many things running through my head.

For instance, I had plans of what I could do after I go back home. Meet up with friends, attend church choir practices again, learn how to drive (Yes. Unfortunately, I still can't drive. It's so sad you won't want to know more. =.=), gobble up Msian food, etc.

Also, I wanna cycle so badly >.< Haven't riden a bicycle in ages. Gonna have to start all over. :D And there are bikes in the hostel. Hmm, my hands and legs are itching to ride a bike again!

But first,
Mission no. 1 = Find out if I can use the bikes at all!

If they're free to use, I MIGHT cycle again. Haha.

Half a day has passed, again, just like that.

Grr. Say hello to a new Monday. Say hello to school.

Satur-day

2010-07-31T18:26:00.004+08:00

Why does it rain every Saturday?

Woke up at 9:20, had breakfast and headed off to Salamanca market later in the morning with some friends. But, it rained on our way to the bus stop. LOL.

Come to think of it, I haven't to the market in a while. It's been months, I guess.

Was rather disppointed though.

There weren't as many food stalls as there were since I last went there. Hmm, probably because it was drizzling. Or, it could've been the timing. Suan said it was quite late in the morning since the market operates from 9am-3pm.

But, I quite enjoyed the many turns we made around the market.

I'm a huge fan of walks + looking around + buying nothing much. Haha.

Had an chocolate ice-cream cone for $3.50. Oh, loves. :D

But this makes me feel like a kid. I like chocolate and ice-cream. Sweet teeth, I blame you. You make me enjoy eating sweet foods, which are far from healthy for human consumption. -__-

Anyway, I had tuna curry + rice for dinner. Wasn't bad. Loved it. :]

So much for fun, I've got to start putting my rajinness cap and finish off my assignments way before they're due! But I must say, I'm feeling more rajin about assignments this sem. Pray I don't slack off!

*Gonna miss everyone here. Grr. Emo-ness overwhelms me again.*

Tick-tock

2010-07-24T15:00:00.003+08:00

if
man could
put time on hold
and
not a single complaint
from men
shall he hear

.....................................................................

Would you call me selfish?

the morning shower

2010-07-16T13:13:00.003+08:00

the morning shower
like tiny pellets
of m&m's
clouds in
drowns her sorrow
the sound of her cries
her tears.

the morning shower
the gentle breeze
a perfect combination
make the leaves rustle
and dance
ever so gracefully
to the light beat
of the rain.

the morning shower
the gentle breeze
the graceful leaves
win a place
in her once-broken heart
paint her face
with a sweet, temporary
smile.

#2

I'm crappy with poems :X

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay...
It's not raining and not going to, at least for today it isn't :P

Went to Uni to collect my results and, and, and...
Got a HD! :)
Praise God!
Add oil for Sem 2!

Patience

2010-07-15T22:11:00.002+08:00

I am suddenly overwhelmed by paranoia.

The curiousity is killing me now.

Guess 4 days won't make a huge difference?

Yah.

Whatever it is, what's done is done.

Countdown

2010-07-14T19:13:00.006+08:00

Okay...

One down.
Three more to go.

So far so good. :D

Hope I don't get disappointed tomorrow!

I know I should be overjoyed.
But, clearly, I'm not so.

*slaps face*
What am I?
Some kinda freak I guess.
Wake up and be gratefullah Michelle! =.=

Grr...
I'm so putting the blame on my mixed-up emotions.
Was it a fair play?

Dang, I'm so paranoid right now.
Hmpph.

Maybe I should put on a smile.
Just to brighten my days.
Even if it's fake.

:):):):):) <<<< What do you see?
As for me, all I see is four sad faces.

Oh wells...
Whether it be good news or bad news tomorrow,
I've gotta work harder for Sem 2.
And arm myself in preparation for that one big battlefield.

That's a promise that I'll try my very best to fulfil.

I remember

2010-07-12T23:05:00.003+08:00

I remember
you lending me your hand
whenever I needed your help.

I trusted you
to be my friend.

I looked up to you
like a younger sister would.

And then there was that one time.

The moment of truth
that gave away your true colour.

I remember
still
the day
when your words
sharper than that
of the end of an arrow
pierced right through
this fragile heart of mine.

You left me confused
and drenched in my own tears.

I remember
the time after that
the smile you gave
and acted
like nothing ever happened.

Then I came to realise
that this
is your game
I'm playing in.

The both of us
the players
are nothing
but foolish puppets.

Perhaps
I could've been
the more foolish one
not willing
to accept the truth.

I've tried
washing this painful memory
away.

But
each time
it hurts even more.

You broke
my heart.

It shattered
into a million pieces.

Oh
how I wish
I could toss this away
and move on.

But I can't.

I remember
still
I do
and always will...

Ocean-ful

2010-07-04T17:56:00.006+08:00

Guess who has been drowned with boredom?

Me.

........

It's ironic how when we've stuffs to do, we just have too much. And at times like now, what I've got is nothing but an empty schedule.

I've reached the point of exhaustion. I'm sick of studying my brain out. It's only foundation year for crying out loud.

Why does the course have one of the highest minimum required GPA?

Why am I complaining? -___- LOL

4 more years to go, that is, if I do successfully get into Pharmacy next year.

Please, please, please, please, please, please lemme enter.

*crosses fingers*

Sigh...

I wanna go back and enjoy the company of my family and other friends, whom I've not met in a gazillion years.

And, not forgetting the comfort of Msian food.

Dim sum,

Bak kut teh,

Kampua,

Roti telur,

Nasi Lemak,

Nasi campur...

A never-ending list is what I'd come up with. :(

And I still can't believe it. I made it through my Bio paper with a mere 2.5 hours of sleep.

Ok, fine. What am I thinking? 2.5 hours doesn't pass for a sleep. Make that a nap.

So yeah... had a 2.5 hour nap before my paper.

Now it makes sense.

That was the cause for my 'stone'-ess before I came back and slept like a horse after my paper. C: Which I found pretty funny. Hahaha.

Uh-oh. 1 am in the morning and I'm still awake. One of the few privileges that a non-school-goer-at-the-moment can have. Must treasure it despite the fact that I've got nothing much to do.

I know!

I could spend most of my hols in front of the computer and, oh, not forgetting the book which I borrowed. A must read. :D

Ooh... ! New chef tommorow :D Can't wait!

Goodnight world.

Oh, Woe

2010-06-06T22:07:00.005+08:00

Meh... Didn't get an A for an essay and can't believe I stressed over it. I wonder why grades matter so much to me right now than it did to me when I was back home.

Is that good or bad?
Or have I just completely gone insane with loads to do?

IF only I could put the blame on someone.

IF only life were that simple.

Oh how blissful life would be. Mundane, more like.

Gah, sometimes, I wish I could slack off.
Let the waves of the ocean gobble my burdens away while I lazily lay back on a beach chair, watching them go.

Sigh...

That's not what I came here to do.

I've got:

- Chem test
- Math test
- Chem assignment to hand in tomorrow
- National Park questionnaire
- To complete my bio prac book
- Another sublist test
- Tutorial discussion preparation

This... my life thus far.

Mondays

2010-05-18T11:18:00.002+08:00

Had a bad start early in the morning. Nearly threw a tantrum, but, nah, I didn't.

My sincere apologies to you.

A Fresh Face

2010-05-14T06:46:00.002+08:00

Oh... Just realised I haven't updated in AGES. Thanks to a few people who brought this up :D
PLUS, I've just figured out what my password was so... ehe... sorry for my forgetfulness.

Anyway, been quite caught up with a few things lately. Assignments, tests and homework. Much more to come... Wahoo!! @_@ At least I'd have something to do.

Wanna know the best thing about what's happening right now?

Am blogging in the com lab :)
Computing lesson in approximately 8 minutes time. This is gonna be so much fun ;)

2009-12-28T11:17:00.001+08:00

Hello!
I'm so back:)

Err,
Merry Christmas!
