- I am a person with many pet peeves. This probably applies to many people who are also allegedly accused to have OCD like myself (ahem). And its a perfectionist thing that keeps everything in line and on track. I should not be bothered by petty things – let’s say boyf’s iPod cover flow. Or the uneven lettering I did on my notebook…er heh. :D
- I should listen more than I talk! This is going to be real tough. Haha hi, Mom.
- Although I’d like to skip out on this one but the truth is that I am a high-maintenance girlf in the emotional security sense. Why? Because I am a paranoid. I care too much about the little things that I miss out on the big picture. Dan always says that I make unnecessary moves. And he’s right. /guilty :( Its quite silly, actually. And ironic. Because I had always been against the idea about girlfriends being super duper truper sensitive. Ahh…I must take a step back and relax! I should have more confidence in myself and Daniel.
- My academic years since Form 1 had been taking a plunge till last year when I got into ICPU. I regained that interest in studies again. And I’ve met lecturers and students who were truly inspiring. I should put in all my effort to graduate with good academic results from this Arts degree programme so that I get to choose what I want to be. And jack up a career.
- I am unfit. And unhealthy. I will continue to go to the gym from now on because I don’t want to miss out on great things in life. Also because I don’t want my thighs to look like feta cheese! Fitness First is literally a stone’s throw away from my house, so I shall not procrastinate anymore. :(
Itchy fingers with the remote made me watch Travel & Living for a while. And I feel like taking off to somewhere my dart will land. Escape to somewhere. Bring Daniel. Bring great company. Meet new people. Learn to say hi in another language. Buy cool stuff to remember I’ve been there. Watch sunrise in different places. You know, just pack up, go backtracking everywhere and do our bit at each where. That would be so cool.
I’m actually pretty bummed that we didn’t get to go to Langkawi this holidays as planned. Because I miss being excited about going somewhere. I miss actually going somewhere. I miss taking a break from everything and just…GO. I remember having spontaneous trips to the beach/highlands when I was in kindergarten. Just a weekend getaway. Sigh..
Travels I did last year:
See how the sea meets the sky in Redang? I remember baking in the sun and getting a really tanned tan. Beaches. Gotta love it.
There’s just something about Macao that makes me feel sleepy. Everything feels so slow and dreamlike. It feels like it is always at night, somehow. The days in Macao all live in the casinos.
There are many taaaaalll buildings in Hong Kong. And even more men, women and youngsters (occasionally kids, too) clutching onto their LVs while strutting their stuff on the streets. It feels a bit like a city version of Ipoh because they have good dimsum and everyone speaks Cantonese hehe.
I was on that tuk tuk with Khairun and Anna. We were going back to the mini motel from the UNFCCC building after a long LONG day. Then the tuk tuk driver practically threw us off with all the sharp turns and sudden brakes. It was some insane night tuk tuk experience.
Cambodia, Cambodia. With college friends who were high all the time and it was also very sad. We went to S21 which was historically depressing. And it made me feel really sorry for all the Cambodians I see there. All living creatures there seemed so…fragile. Even the trees and cows. :( I also tried the happy herb pizza there. Not as happy as I thought it would be haha.
The trip to Bukit Tinggi was memorable for many reasons. And the air up there really does smell fresher. And I loved the small little room ala Alice in Wonderland. And the cute little desks and chairs and ceilings and windows. Room 501. Oh and the first night’s dinner was hahahah! :) :)
Sometimes I can see myself in the future traveling to see more of the world every now and then; become a gypsy, preach peace, love and the bliss of the greens. Other times, I see myself being a stay-home mom and part-time journalist; happy to just stay at home. I like both these two versions of myself in the future! :D But for now, I’ll try to stop dreaming about going anywhere and just go into some deep sleep (hopefully). Well, at least I’m going back to Ipoh this weekend. Hah.

Few days ago, at this time, I was in the other side of town with friends from college. Playing charades. SO FUN. I remember the last time I played some real charades which was in a bus with Mabs and other Interact members on our way back to Subang from Penang. That was so long ago I don’t even remember the year. Anyway, charades are always fun. :)
That barbecue-Twister-charades night came with plenty of realizations. I am only half-heartedly thankful that these realizations happened because I am a 19-year-old brokenhearted college dropout who won’t stop thinking and be in denial. Okay. The brokenhearted part is totally bull. And I am a merit scholar (hah). I realized that I need to find the strength I need to have faith. Faith in people I love. And for myself because I don’t wanna be a parasite. Boo!
Photos from that night:
My boyf the dog-loverrrr! :)
Acrobatic Twister
I like this photo of them.
I have no idea why this photo is themed like this… :P :)

I went to college uni yesterday and sorted out the classes I’m taking for this semester (starting officially on the 19th after one whole week of orientation) – 1) Contemporary World 2, 2) Journalism 2, 3) Sex, Gender, Knowledge and 4) Contemporary Television Studies. I’m pretty excited. So far, I know Lee and Dul who would probably be in 3/4 of the classes I have. Or not. Neil is starting the same time as I do too, but he’s doing Engineering. Blocks away. We’ll see how things go. :) Nope, I’m not gonna screw up.

There’s so much in the world that I’d like to soak up with my eyes. With you. /beams :D
We went to Sweden! Haha and it was full of cute interior design lovelies WHICH makes you want to buy a house, beware. :) Anyway, when we were having meatballs+fries, we visited Ice Hotel too wtf.
Okay, so we went to Ikea to buy some stuff for Dan’s new pad which he is moving in in a few days from now (weeee). We bought document tray, magnetic board and a jar (haha). Oh and lint roller too. I’m planning to cluster his room with many girlie stuff of mine hahaha. :P :D
And when we had our Swedish meatballs+fries, we DID see a poster of the Ice Hotel. Its in Jukkasjärvi and their interior changes every year cos well, THEY CAN. The whole place is made out of ice. I wonder how it feels to sit on the chairs with a bare bum…heheh!
View from Dan’s Changkat home. SHO NAIS AI WANT.
The night was wrapped with homemade dinner. His mom fed me with lots of vege. And soup. And vege. And salad. And vege. I am very healthy now! And sleepy, goodnight! :D

An Arts student who will one day travel the world, write about life and make a decent living outta it.I wish.
Happy, most of the time. :) Listens to many jazz and souls, and occasionally rock. Have one too many interests. Sometimes impulsive and other times perfectionist. A people person with a penchant for escapism and anything green tea-flavoured.
Jane of all trades, master of all too. Hire me, I need more shoes.
