I guess I've been busy being moody, so all I've been posting about is how my world is crashing around me. (It still is.) I overlooked about all the good things so far.

Like the O'Hunt that I participated with my hostelmates. They're awesome people btw. O'Hunt is something like the Amazing Race except that we have to do everything on foot! I think I lost a kilo running around the city during the hunt but I could barely walk after that!

I had fun during the midnight birthday bashes at my hostel. There were so many March babies. First was Shermayne's then Fish's. Both were incredibly awesome. And the surprise plans...they rock! We surprised Shermayne at her door. Then, Fish had to hunt down all her shoes before getting rewarded with her birthday cake! And her birthday cake was a wonderful combination of blueberry, Oreos and vanilla ice-cream!

Just tonight, we sorta organised a last-minute bash for Jennifer. Happy Birthday, Jennifer! Hope you like the cake and the card! (you better like the cake; I had to expense all my strength lugging it back from one end of the city to another on foot! My sweat is in there! By late this morning, BOTH my arms will ache fit to make me scream.)

But I really have to say, the icing on the cake was super sweet and...I dunno, don't really like it.

Really not my cup of tea.

Jennifer's reaction tonight was priceless. Patsy, thanks SOOO MUCH for the ingeneous birthday surprise plan! Slipping a note under her door saying: "Hey Jennifer, you know that we're gonna surprise you, so come downstairs." was the best catch. Patsy, you're a genius! (Ok, for guys who are non-hostelmates of mine, we have a custom of celebrating birthdays in the kitchen which is downstairs; our rooms are upstairs).

We weren't downstairs.




Waiting till Jennifer reached downstairs and then creeped behind her at the stairs.

Then, broke into a birthday song. LOL. I simply LOVED that moment.


Though, it was hard to organize things. This is my first. I was surprised that everyone listened and coorperated. I remembered trying to get all of 5E to coorperate3 years ago...it was like trying to push and elephant with your bare hands. Here, WOW. My hostelmates were awesome people. Thanks, everybody.

Also, thanks to everybody to have lend a helping hand to make this a roaring success.

Patsy - thanks for the candle and the surprise plan.
Janice - thanks for reminding us of Jenn's birthday
Elaine - thanks for keeping Jenn busy throughout the whole day while we bought the cake.
Xiao Hui - thanks for the awesome bakery recommendation. Couldn't have gotten that incredulous cake without you!
Mun Yi & Jia Yin - thanks for getting everyone together and being great support!
Pauline - Thanks for helping with the surprise. Awesome brainstorming session!
Everyone else: Kenny, Keith, Cheng Sin, Bao Sing, Moses, Justin, Fish, Hwee Sim, Shermayne, Pee Ter, Pei Lee, Pei Wen, Michelle - thanks for being there and making noise!

In the last post, I kinda mentioned that I'm currently training at an Italian salon..........

Well, scratch that. It's a Lebanese salon - "Babylon Hairdressing", that's what's it's called. The whole shop has a barber shop feel to it. The owner who's training me now is a Lebanese, Sam and most of his customers are Lebanese and they ALL have the same style of hair. =.=" Talk about no creativity.

The hairstyles they have are like this:

Well, close. Just imagine this mohawk hairstyle on adult Lebanese men with thick curly black hair.

Anyway, Sam has been very kind to me. He teaches me fast ways of cutting Western and Lebanese hairstyles (yeshh, I have to watch him cut about 3-4 mohawk heads a day. Not to mention the friends of his are all big-sized, tatoo-ed and pierced here and there. Throw in shaggy beards, thick eyebrows and piercing eyes. They freaked me out. When watching him, I stood 3 metres away from him.)

The way he cuts hair are A LOT faster than what Nick taught me back home. I don't know if I can keep up. His movements are way too fast. T.T

He has a 12-year-old son. He's adorable. Talkative too. He keeps chatting with me. Finds Chinese culture fascinating. No, I think he's more fascinated that there's Chinese people that exists in anywhere besides China. Sam and him thought that I was from China. PLEASE...I don't have that Chinese-ed look, do I? Oh, and he had a talking parrot.

There are 2 other women hairdressers as well - an Italian, Nikki and Australian-Vietnamese, Polly. Nikki is kind of stuck-up. She's not very welcoming and thinks I'm trash. She bullies me to do certain jobs for her. Well, I can't really say no, I'm the new "hairdresser-in-training-who-may-be-kicked-out-if-I-can't-learn-Western-styles-in-52-hours." Neither do I like her.

Polly's nice. She's very friendly. Maybe I can connect with her better because she's of Asian decendent. She's a PR here. Her father is a Teochew and her mum is a Vietnamese.

What I really don't like is the long hours in the salon. I train on Fridays 11am-7pm and Saturdays 10am-3pm. Sure, they're not as long as those hours I've put in at SuperStyle back home. SuperStyle was different. the people there - Mike, May, Ah Tee, Eugene, Kelvin, Nick, Suki, Keith and Ming were like family. They really accepted me into their circle and I was glad they did. That's why I could spend a full day there; I was very comfortable. I liked the atmosphere there, besides the fact it was in dinghy Summit. This salon is different. The atmosphere isn't as warm. There's no "family feel" to it. It's got a "I take care of my problem and you take care of yours" feel. I just feel weird and uncomfortable there. Every fifteen minutes, I'll be counting down the hours left to go.

I miss SuperStyle.

Now, I feel emo~

I'll stop blogging here.

Nectarines are fan-tas-tic.
Beats peaches. The peaches here tastes WEIRD. Or probably just those that grows in my landlord's garden.

Anyway, for ppl back home who are reading this - nectarines is a cross-breed between peaches and plums but not so furry as peaches and more reddish like plums.


I feel like shit.

Fuck.

Irritated but a bunch of ppl. Met people that I don't want to meet. UGGH...It's SOO hard to plaster a smile on my face and keep it up there for a full 15 minutes when all I want to do is to tell them to buzz off and I walk off to somewhere more peaceful.

Went to the doctor's this morning. But, couldn't get an appointment today.

bummer.

Me: Can I book an appointment?
Nurse: Nothing today. Will 10.30 am tomorrow be alright?

My mind went like this: WHAT THE FUCK????!!!!! The pain is already at, literally, an ear-splitting level and I have to wait a full 24 hour period???!!! U have got to be kidding me?

But the usual me, just smiled and agreed and started a torturous torment of waiting with an earache that's so painful, I feel like want to scream. All the while, thinking: FUCK!!!!!

I just can't seem to tell ppl off when the need arises. That's why I'm pissed at myself. If I can find the words to be mean at my siblings back home, why can't I summon that skill to help myself in times of need like this? I'm useless.

And I still have my law and accounting tute to do. And I haven't progressed since 8.30pm.
I'm hating myself even more.

The symptoms of an ear infection depend on the type but may include:

• Earache

All conditions: CHECKED

I have EAR INFECTION.

And it HURTS. BADLY. ~UUWAA~

WTF.

Why, of all times, here, now??

I'm sooooo pissed at myself.

I'm pissed at the weather.

I'm pissed at the water supply here. Gives me allergy outbreaks from time to time

I'm pissed at my body system.

I'm pissed at the food here.

I'm pissed at the homework I have to do. (Can't figure out how to do it)

I'm pissed at the cold wind. It burns through my lungs.

FUCK.

To cut it short, I'm pissed.

I think I'm a step closer to my ideal weight....*dreams*

My hostelmates and I just participated in a scavenger hunt organised by a church here, Paradise Community Church.

Moral of the story? Don't participate in scavenger hunts. They literally kill your legs. And half your life-force is sucked out.

But if you want to shed of a few kilos of that flabby tummy or the huge hips, then, by all means, JOIN. (Minor side effects: blisters on feet and toes, sunburnt, parched, TOTALLY wiped out, swearing-proned) Very healthy. No doctor could deny it.

Well, at least with this hunt on my "done list", I can proudly say, "I've survived a weight-loss-cum-self-taught-swearing-scavenger hunt"

XP

Cheers

I know, you might go like, "What??!! Another one??!! Purr-lease........"

Let me tell you, this one is DAMN accurate...

If it wasn't for my sister, I wouldn't knew this site existed. It describes me down to a T.

Try it: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

This was my result:

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I may have neglected it a little.

but it's definitely not dead. I just don't have anything interesting to write about.

Rather than bore you with "what-I-cooked-for-dinner", I'd rather let it stay stagnant.

I had a tiresome week. Why?

1.I thought non-Malaysian lecturers would be awesome lecturers - but what do you know...out of 4, there's always one that makes you scratch your head and think, "what and where in the world is talking about? CAN she stop MUMBLING??? This is a lecture!"

2. 2 of my subjects are modified open book exams. YES, open book - the hideous black omen of impending doom for any uni student.

3. Had sun, rain and wind alternately at intervals of 15-20 min for half the week. I'm getting sick due to the sudden change in weather.

4. Trying to avoid a short annoying someone who's been stuck to me like a leech! He's dense as well - and totally clueless. Chirps away non-stop. And his VOICE - is irritating the bejesus out of me!!!

5. Hostelmates that slam the doors in perfect harmony and run down the corridor - trying to recreate Five's "We Will Rock You" - at 6-7 am in the mornings.

6. Created a disastrous dish with broccoli. It tastes like ........*puke*(You get the picture)

7. Being teased for being single. (This is really starting to be a pain....)

Haih.........
I hope this coming week will be a lot better than this week.
Gtg. I have to get started on my tutes.

Thank God for the invention of public holidays.
