It's All So Sick...

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

I dunno what's more sick...the fact that i'm not studying or the fact that i haven't finished my TWO tasks? Wtf...

And here i am reading something TOTALLY UNRELATED to my studies...what, you might ask? No, it isn't on proper ways to speak French...No, it isn't on Major Powers...No, nothing about International Law...what I'm reading about is a thousand times irrelevant to what I should be searching for...can you guess?

Scientology...

...what the fuck, right? This always always always happen to me! I have short attention span, so no matter how hard I try, my mind will unwittingly stray from the main focus...I know-->this is dangerous, but what can I do? This is why, when i look into the future, I don't wanna end up doing something like office jobs from 9 to 5...I just don't think i have the ability to do the same things over and over again. Damn, what about other areas, then?

I'm so doomed! LMAO...this says something about many things, eh?

Alas, we'll see what happens...does ledzeppelin4evr succeeds in finishing all her assignments in the nick of time? Find out in the next post!

PS: I'm supposed to write about a vacation to a foreign land in French...I am writing about Italy. My imagination is running wild over here...and i think i'm on a caffeine high as well, having drunk 3 mugs in less than 6 hours...all this, and the fact that last minute task completion gives me an adrenaline rush...so i'm super-pumped! All the best to those who are doing their last minute studying and task completion...Godspeed!

Toodlez, bitches!

Yesterday...All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away

Friday, July 17, 2009

Something about yesterday...it was hectic, but it was one of those days where you go, "Whoah!!! That was fun..."

So ok...for me, the best things are spontaneous...plans are great, of course...but i find that i have MORE fun when something is decided all of a sudden...LOL! By ALL OF US, mind you! Not when it's just ONE person deciding to go somewhere, inevitably forcing us to go along with the idea (out of courtesy, hehehe) *wink wink*

The day started with an 8am class, which ended exactly at 10am...on the dot! So how the hell are we supposed to make the next class, which is at 10am? In another faculty, mind you!!! So, we didn't make it on time...hahaha, but it's all good! The schedule has been changed! Loved the class though...learnt about food, my fave subject, LOL! In French...

So, after class...we had some lunch, then another class!!! Boy, i was almost going off to sleep at that time, BUT before that, we decided to go out somewhere...maybe for a movie? How about a fun time at a karaoke joint? Hahaha, so we did both! We wanted to go accompany a friend of ours who was fasting...so we could eat out! Fed up of cafeteria food...

And after everything, we ended up watching a night movie of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in this small cinema at Kajang!!! How's that!!! Lol, i'm just saying...the balls we had for watching a night movie, as transportation after 11pm is virtually non-existent! Luckily for us...we were 4 tough cookies, LOL! And yeah...2 of the 4 cookies were coaxed into staying at my dorm (and M's too)...yay!

Came back around 12am, which is early for me actually...but damn, it was pretty empty...i mean the streets of Kajang were so deserted, it seemed almost scary! And there was ONLY 1 taxi waiting there...thank God, there was at least ONE taxicab! Nothing like KL, where people and lights are on till the morning!

Initially: chilled at Starbuckeroos with A (M & F went to pray), and i saw a man wearing a black bandana...with his weird-ass shirt, he looked like a pirate, so i told A that "...there walks the pirate of Kajang" in which she LOL-ed! Yay...1-0!!! Meh, you had to be there to find it funny! :P

Harry Potter rocked!!! OMG, i can't wait to see the next installment!!! Of course, i'm not a reader of the series...but i love the movies! Yeah, Ron was looking pretty buff, hehehe...me likey! I kept teasing A who initially said that Draco Malfoy was handsome...i was like "WTF? Blind much?" then she saw him, and changed her mind...hahahahaha!!! He USED to be cute...USED to! He looks anorexic now. I call him her bf now, hehehe...and she pointed out that Harry's eyebrows look like that of Eugene Levy...which i TOTALLY agree with!!! I literally LOL-ed at the cinema at that moment...1-1!

Next time: longer hours on the karaoke please? So much skipping songs due to time constraints...hahahaha!!! Screaming rocks! Well, i better go before i vomit more nonsensical words!!!

Toodlez, bitches!

PS: My sis is getting an LG Cookie due her old phone breaking into 2...Hahahaha! Yeah, i'm so jealous! Damn, why couldn't my phone have spoiled at this moment when dad has some cash? Why, oh why!!!

PPS: Well, at least for now, they (you know who) aren't fighting...yay! God bless us! But i hope it doesn't go downhill once the cash flow comes to a standstill, like it always does.

Today...Aujourd'hui...

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

My second Mandarin class was in the afternoon, and whaddya know...I didn't go! Holy shit! And the reason? Stupid! It was because I was 35-mins late, and was too scared the teacher have a bad impression towards me...so I walked around the linguistics faculty till the class was over...coz French just happened to be in that same classroom! Didn't wanna get spotted or anything...

But what I did was cook-up a story as to why I didn't go for class...the classic "family emergency"; nothing more! Actually, I know I missed quite a lot...and I regret, but I can't take back what I did...AND, I didn't do anything bad to anyone except me, so in the end...I screwed myself (yep, I know how that sounds)! Well, lesson learnt!

Went back to my room after French...but not before getting a whiff of B.O. from the friendly neighborhood Middle Eastern man-from-the-bus! I couldn't stand it, I actually got down from the bus at the first stop (the UKM Clinic)...and so did my friends. We actually did something there...we booked a dental appointment for the next semester...ROFL!!!

Really, we booked 6 months in advance, coz everything before that was full! So I must remember, scaling's at June 15th! Hahahaha!!!

Then, we took the next bus back to our nifty little rooms...thank goodness there was no B.O. present!

New Year, New Term, New New New!!!

Thursday, January 08, 2009

Okay, so it's been a long time since i've updated...sorry bout that. But one thing is, i feel rejuvenated, people!!! I am now back in my campus, and I already miss my baby sister's singing and dancing...well, she's a little entertainer, that girl...and it never fails to make me smile and even laugh after a shitty day!

What else is happening? I am continuing with my 3rd level French, since I love it!

And love = an A!

Hahahaha...

But now i'm adding up Mandarin in my list of foreign languages. I must tell you, today was my 1st day, and I was in a daze...seriously, everything learnt in Mandarin class was a blur, it's like a culture shock! Th pinyin, the tones and different vowels and consonants...ZOMG! French is a hundred times easier than Mandarin, OMG!!! The horror, the regret!!!

BUT!!!

I wanted to take Mandarin because China is the rising superpower, and Mandarin is a crucial language to learn...also because of it's smooth-sounding words...i love it! But nothing is easy at 1st, right? Well, i'm up for it! I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!! Besides, it's only the first day...

New year hit me like a ton of bricks, btw...mom and dad were not home, so I decided to take charge for my younger sisters...I made us some Fetuccini Carbonara (a big hit...sisters and friend wanted more, hahaha)...R (mid sister) made some garlic bread...and we drank some Heineken and Pink Vodka. Some new year, huh? Well, at least we all love each other even though work prohibits family time. And...and...we have our health...and happiness!!!

Now for the new term, i'm gonna try to take care of my health more...i stopped my blog updates due to a moment of sickness which then led to laziness...u know the story...the low b.p., the not eating and feeling faint and all that crap!

So for now, I should learn to take care of my health more. AND I MUST START DRINKING WATER!!!

I don't know why in the world I hate drinking water...it's weird, and it's taking a toll on my face...it has been attacked by an eruption of pimples...lesson learnt, but it's cut short by caffeine fixes! MUST MUST MUST DRINK WATER!!!

So, oh yeah...went and did my passport (finally!) so my family and I can finally go to the Philippines to visit my family there and learn about my heritage and all...maybe down the road i could start travelling? Oh God, may it be...

I'm Asked, 'Comment passez-vous votre week-end?'

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Yay, it's over...French speaking test is over! That was so anti-climactic, really...your tension, stress and anxiety builds, and builds, and builds...

My answer to the above question was (please disregard the bad spelling and/or grammar...i'm just a n00b) :



Me: Le week-end, je me promene dans le parc, je faire de la cuisine...je...je...je faire de la
natation...

Le professeur: Do you go out during lunch-time? (sorry, i dunno how to write his part in
French...hehe!)

Me: Non...parce que je...

Le professeur: Oh, yeah...you cook! Ok, ok! What else? Where do you swim, in a pool, in a lake? Any other sports?

Me: Oh, je faire de la natation a la piscine. Je faire du badminton avec ma soeur.

Le professeur: Do you wake up late on the weekends?

Me: Non, parce que j'ai une seour bebe...(in a 'so you know how it is' kinda way...)

Le professeur: Do you sleep late?

Me: Oui...je me couche a deux heures...

Le professeur: Douze heures?

Me: Non...deux heures...

Le professeur: Douze heures?

Me: DEUX HEURES!!!

Le Professeur: Douze??? Minuit???

Me: Oui... (I give up!!! I meant 2 in the morning actually! Deux heures du matin!!!)



And the saga continues...a little better than the previous dialogue, heheh!

Then, when the time is gone...you're like: Was that it?

So yeah, it's over...now what?

Hahaha, such...is the way of life! No matter what, everything will pass. In no time, you look back to discover that it wasn't so bad as you thought it was (at that particular time). Maybe you'll even sit and laugh about it. That is my outlook on unfortunate events. I think that sorta takes me to a better mindset, place and it soothes my mind, body and soul (wow...deep!)

At this very moment, i'm reminiscing about all the times I felt disappointed, all the times I felt depressed, lonely, lazy, happy, sad, angered...and all I can do is laugh about it!

Funny, isn't it? This life...

Oh Baby, Oh Baby...Then it Fell Apart!!!

Saturday, October 18, 2008

4 out of 7 assignments done...no more presentations! Hurray!!! What's left, you ask...1 French quiz, followed by French listening exam & French oral test. The 3 unfinished assignments are;
  • Methodology in International Relations
  • Foreign Policy Theories
  • French II

I must say...never thought i'd finish...but if I don't, i'll be pretty much dead, won't I? Hahaha...

I'd usually be home during the weekends, but this time, I opted to stay because:

(a) I have a 6-hour replacement class on Sunday (6 freakin hours, dude!!! 6 HOURS!!!)

(b) Attempting to do my assignments at home is like trying to fit a Titanic ship into your

mouth...it could NOT be done! (external factors: TV, being a clown for a 1-year old,

etc...)

(c) Wanna cram at least 1/10 of my lessons into my brain!

(d) Revise for French test on Monday & Tuesday

Could this happen? Perhaps...I WILL NOT GET OUT OF THIS ROOM for unnecessary things...But now, i'm downloading shit...awww hot damn!!! Can you blame me? I need a break, but can't! I can hereby testify that...

My plan fell apart!!! (Cue to Moby's 'Extreme Ways', 2nd ed...)

How predictable.

Bustin' My Chops...All the Freakin' Time!

Monday, August 25, 2008

This past week was hectic, I must say...but i'm bracing for the worst...haha, "We've only just begun..."

Busted my chops...and my laptop! Too much cmd prompts, that I probably deleted my system files by mistake...NTLDR Error!!! But it's all good. Thank God for my resourceful-ness! Fixed it, albeit with some minor obstacles...but it's all good now!

Did a presentation with my gang...went pretty well. Lecturer praised us for a job well done. Well, hell yeah! We did questionnaires, surveys, interviews, a pie chart...my friend did a really good job with the montage...other friends were well prepared...together as a team, we all excelled! YAY for the team!!!

What else? Oh...baby sis is all grown...15 months-old, and she's the queen of the house, playing all of us like a bunch of her worker bees! My dad, especially...he's her slave, really! How adorable! Lol!

Tomorrow, i'll be having French Quiz 1...hope it goes well...considering I didn't study shit! Arrrrrrggghhhhhh!!!

Je n'aime pas les questiones Francais!!! J'aime beaucoup le francais, mais je ne parle pas tres bien ce langue, parce que je ne prepare pas!!! C'est vrai!

Is that even correct? Sigh...only God can tell...hahahaha (nervously laughs!)

I Dread Assignments...I Am Hereby F***erized!

Monday, July 28, 2008

Oh boy do I dread it...

So, I email my professor my topic (after thinking about it for the longest time!)...been thinking about doing something in the lines of the US, but mom came up with an amazing idea. She told me one problem with bilateral ties is the dreaded US-Malaysia FTA, which is STILL in talks (for the 9th time)...and then BAM!!!

Why not do a paper on its implications on the Malaysian economy? Emailed the proposed topic to the professor...got a nod from her...

NOW I'M SCARED!

Yes, there are many many many papers and journal on FTAs, but to do a paper on economic implications is beyond me...OMG, what have I gotten myself into...tomorrow, she will know me...who I am, for she will announce it in class...then everyone will look at me...some may even say "F***...she's doomed!"

I must say, I have been f***erized! By none other than me! I would be laughing out loud, rolling on the floor, giving me a diabolical belly laugh if I were someone else, but, alas...it's me! Oh shizz!

And here I am at 1 am, dreading it...tomorrow is what it is; i'm to wake up at 6am to commute back to campus, into my hostel...and straight to French class...

Oh yeah, tutorials start this week too...Bummer...Shizz squared...

Sorry for the lame curses...other than f***erized, i've nothing that tops that.

The Aftermath...

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

I hate the aftermath...i wish music festivals in Malaysia would be held every fuckin' year so i could have fun for at least once a year!!!

I'm going home tonight...coz tomorrow is gonna be a holiday...yay! But i guess i'm following mom to church from Thursday to Friday, maybe Saturday AND Sunday (for Holy Week).

And i forgot to mention that i had my midterms...did quite well in French (even if je ne sais pas!), but i don't know my marks in Strategy and International Systems and Globalization...Geez, i need to buck up on them! MUST READ U.N. CHARTER!

The job i was supposed to do? Bleagh...i'm not getting anything even worth my time, and i have to sacrifice my study time? I think after this, i'm gonna have to pass on it...PITTANCE is not worth my time. Subtitling takes patience and a whole lotta time, which i don't have.

So now i have to complete an assignment on Deterrence as a Defense Mechanism...gonna go to the library...So, till next time...

Toodlez, bitches!

School's Out!!!

Wednesday, November 21, 2007

Yaaayyyy!!!

Semester 1 of university i overrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Sorry, i can't help but be happy being home...but i also look forward to the next semester.

Exams were pretty tough on me, since i was working while doing exams...shit, i told my boss i would never again work while having exams. I owe it to myself to concentrate on what really matters, right?

Anyways, it just proves my theory...i only do well without studying in my favorite subjects...i think i did better in IT and International Relations (my major) than in the other subjects...but i hope it's all good. If it's not, i wouldn't kill myself, but i would certainly have to bring up the GPA, you know...plus...i'm adding another subject too...FRENCH!!! Woohoo!!! I just hope it doesn't clash with my other subjects.

Enough of school!!! I'm gonna talk about other stuff now...i'm gonna spend the holidays learning more about computers...as soon as i get the dough im gonna buy self-helping methods on computer languages...i suppose the most basic one first, then if i could cope, i would advance...however, this is JUST a plan, if something else comes up, who knows...

Still have no boyfriend, but i'm sill waitin for THE KNIGHT, if you know what i mean...lol! I sometimes think what's the big deal, but when i look at how love makes you, i feel like i want that too! But, sometimes, it's just a matter of, "do you have what it takes to make it work?"
I think my commitment phobia says i don't have what it takes. But i'm working on it...

Other than all that, xmas is approaching and my dad says we still are in mourning for my dead uncle...he died last 28th Dec. So that means, no open house, no hosting any parties...but I want to bake cookies, and i will! I discovered a way of making the choc chip cookies crisp,and not go soft after a few days...i did! and i will apply it to my batch, this year...am xcited...last year, my pineapple tarts and pepparkakkor (ginger snaps) were a hit! But not the cookies...LOL! Was nice, but not Famous Amos nice! Well, it was the pioneer batch, anyway!

Hope i have fun this holiday!

Home At Last!

Monday, October 08, 2007

After my so-called hell-week, i'm finally home, sleeping on my bed!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

The problems i've accumulated throughout the semester of my first year has gone far, far away, thanks to my ability to solve problems, hehe!

Now, i'm just gonna chill, then i'll go to a few friends' houses to visit them for their Hari Raya celebrations; great!!!

Right now, i'm downloading some songs...ever heard the cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella"? I like it! Sounds like Mandy Moore, but the radio DJ said 'twas some girl from YouTube...I dunno, I just know I like it.

Uhmmm, since it's early registration for the next semester, i'm thinking if I should take French lessons earlier, because I can't wait to learn it! However, it seems the classes are at 11pm!!! I mean, is that even possible? WTF, dudes! 11pm? How the hell am I gonna get transportation over there? My dorm is like 4 kilometres from my faculty...gahhh!!!!

What music am I listening to now? Lenny Kravitz' "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"...one of my favorite chillout-mellow-touchy-feely songs...

Btw, I was thinking...should I get a 1-month long job for the holidays, or should I just stay home? This is, however in December, so no rush...you know what, i'll think of it then!

At least i'm updating this who-knows-who-the-hell-reads-this blog...I sorta love this blog coz it's my only release...so bear with me! Any comments? Lol!
