i miss those days of freedom. to be able to do anything whenever and however i want to. being home is great, but sometimes i just need some space.

selfish, i know. but there it is.

spring cleaning

it’s amazing how much junk one can collect over the years. deciding what to keep and what to throw out is never easy, no matter how many times it’s been done. but why do we hold on to things? a transparent sweet wrapper, an empty bottle, a boxful of erasers, unused straws, water-stained letters.

we arrive with nothing, should we leave with nothing?

a dean’s list cert is like an ipad.

you laugh at people who carry it around and use it in public places, saying that it’s just a status symbol.

but once you get it, it’s different.

so long, and thanks for all the fish

seven years ago, i started to blog. and i’d like to believe that i’ve grown over the years. but i really can’t say. you be the judge.

anyway, i’ve decided to take a break from blogging. my dashboard is full of half-written drafts which i can’t bring myself to finish. writing used to be such a joy for me. but it’s more of a chore now. so i guess it’s bye for now.

bye.

an adventure

i was looking high and low for my eraser and turns out it was right in front of me. duh. i must be losing my mind. O.o

anyways.

the proposal list for our teaching practicals is out and it looks like i’ll be going to SMK Teluk Bahang. which is at the end of the world! from where i’m staying, that is. so i’ll probably have to move somewhere nearer. the daily bus commute will be very time-consuming and not very practical, all things considered.

le sigh.

i really don’t want to move out. i guess i just want a safe place to go home after a long and probably stressful day at work. but oh well. we can’t always have what we want.

101 things to be done but i’ll be ok. it’ll be fun, i promise.

happy picture time!

conquering the pumpkin

Jess — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 14:34:09 +0000

i’ve always had this notion that pumpkin was hard to cook. so i resolved to cook it, since 2nd year. well, it’s my final year now and i’ve finally gotten around to it. better late than never, eh? so off to tesco i went!

hacking it to pieces was easier than i expected. the hard part was the peeling!

sautéing! the smell of garlic and onions is truly divine ♥

turning it into “soup”

overall, it was fun! something i’ll definitely do again

how i’ve grown

Jess — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:55:01 +0000

i used to be somewhat of a “socialite”. meeting new people, hanging out all day, seeing new things. that was my cup of tea. was.

now i can’t stand the thought of wasting my time with people i don’t like and spending my money on things i don’t enjoy. i realize that sometimes certain social obligations are unavoidable, but i try as much as possible to cut out the irritations in my life. and spend time with people who are truly worth it.

relationship-wise, i used to be the clingy one. i wanted to know everything and anything that was going on rightthatsecond. but i learned the hard way that that doesn’t work. at all. so i’ve come to love my space and privacy. a lot.

and, i used to be the one who cried all the time. but the tears don’t come anymore. the most i get now is a heavy heart.

gee, growing up is fun, isn’t it?

soft like snowflakes

rainy days like these are perfect for hiding under the covers

preferably with someone you love ♥

i find it somewhat amusing that he actually walks her to the bathroom and talks to her from the outside while she bathes. sometimes, he even sings a song.

LOL!

i know that love means never wanting to be apart, but i need my space.

your mission, should you choose to accept…

hello, goodbye

as i walked under the gigantic white tent that was blocking the entire road, i heard the sound of jingle bells coming from the bread van lady. and i thought -

life goes on. it does.
