looking back, i didn’t really do that much last sem. i stayed in more and was a pretty boring person. hehe. but i did do more long-term-life changing stuff such as:

1. I STOPPED BITING MY NAILS!!!!! and got into nail art.

2. moved into a new place.which is better lit. and it’s also soooo near to tesco, the weekly pasar malam, and Good Food! every evening there’s an auntie who drives her van filled with baked goodies to fill our tummies. the roadside tong sui quenches our thirst. silken tau fu fah is just a stone’s throw away and maxim dim sum is riiigghht next to it! <3

3. confirmed my belief that karma does exist

4. finally went clubbing in penang

5. missed the japan trip but i did go travelling too! behold:

kelantan for teacher interviews

kl for an author interview with brian gomez. his book, Devil’s Place, is hilarious!

…and other touristy things

6. went to loy krathong!

7. had lots of Good Food

8. became a semi vegetarian. i really like my cooking now, it has so much colour! and i really am saving more despite buying higher grade ingredients.

9. i quit drums & aiesec. i guess i just didn’t feel like a part of things anymore, and it was too hard to catch up. i wish things could’ve turned out differently, but i made a choice and there’s no turning back time. it’s funny, those two things were what kept me going through 1st and 2nd year. but now there’s nothing much left. sigh.

the second half of my third year begins tomorrow. time flies, does it not? i still feel like i’m in my first year dammit.

i’m back in penang!

my hands are itching to scrub the sink and just generally clean the kitchen. but i shall refrain. own room first, outside later. maybe then my housemates will see the before and after effect. ;p but i did wipe the stove, cos i could’ve fried an egg with the amount of oil on it. eewwwww.

somehow the house seems fake. it doesn’t have that solid feeling. the floors feel empty and the lights are too bright. the only place that feels real is this -

- the toilet. wth. but i’m sure it’ll pass over the next few days.

today’s all about unpacking, spring cleaning my room and grocery shopping! and probably a post later about my previous sem, since a new one starts tomorrow.

ciao.

i’ll miss you, as always.

change always happens.

but some changes really shouldn’t happen at all.

and i still don’t dare to visit you.

a flower instead?

i’m back in kuching, but my luggage went missing!
the more i think about it, the more i wanna cry.

hmm…what’s in there…

2 new tops, bras & shorts, 1 new skirt, slacks & pair of wedges, all my other clothes, my shoes, my wooden body shop brush, various hairbands, my laptop cable (!), a present for someone, my makeup, my sunnies, one pair of contact lenses, various food items, my swimsuit…and some other stuff too.

they may not seem to be worth much, but they do mean a lot to me. you know i actually spent 2 days packing and repacking that bag to make sure everything fits right?

sigh.

the only clothes i have now in the house are big tshirts and shorts with holes in their pockets. and the clothes i wore back – 1 bra, 1 panties, 1 shirt, 1 pair of jeans. geez.

i really hope i can get back my luggage by tomorrow. and in perfect condition.

i really, really, really, really hope so.

edit

luggage is back!

i’ll be back in sweet kuching
away from all this crap

i finally got my red nail polish! behold:

having a nail polish craze right now.

finals are aalllmmooossstttt over!

i blog when i’m bored.
i blog when i’m mad.
i blog when i’m sad.

but i never blog when i’m happy.

why is that?
hhmmm.

anyway, fuck it.
today i’m sad.

it’s always the little things that add up, you know?
everyone always says look at the big picture.
but it’s the little things that make up the big picture.

haiz.

it’s not fair to compare what you have with others.
but sometimes, you just can’t help it.

despite it being a happy scene, it made me kinda sad.

when was the last time you jumped into a puddle?

it’s that time of the year again.

where i wished i didn’t procrastinate.
where sleepness nights return to haunt me.
where my brain has its own shut down mode.
where words enter my mind yet escape me.
where junk food feels like my new best friend.

finals.

as i hugged her tight, she whispered –

come home soon my dear child

and i only had one answer for her –

i fear i might not make it this time

you’re asking how much i make in a year?

i make your children learn their ABCs.
i make your children listen to me for the whole day.
i make your children grow into responsible individuals.
i make your children become future musicians, lawyers and doctors.

so how much do you make in a year?
