Happy but Not So

Woo-HOO! Yay! Finally! It's OVER!
*does the jolly dance, leaps for joy and does two cartwheels!*

Okay, so you get the picture; I'm uncontainably (if that's even a word) happy. My Sociology paper ended today at about 6.20pm and even though the examiner who collected my paper was incredibly annoying and I felt like strangling her for hurrying me for no apparent reason (coz honestly, I don't think she would have been fired if she waited two extra seconds for me to write down my question number on the answer sheet!), I'm still very much relieved that my exam blues are turning another color...but then again, I'm not let off the hook yet- I still have one more aasignment that due in 4 days. If you know anything about me, you'd know that hands down, I'd rather do assignments any time than sit for exams- despite the fact that I whine insessantly afterward. So, untill then, I can't put on my red skirt and go partying...yet. Oh well, I've waited almost a month, what's another few more days?

In these past 4 weeks, I think I've done more damage to my eyes than I have in the past 17 years or so! The hours I've spent starring at the 16inch idiot box (think computer screen) is enough to make up for the loss of assignments I won't have to do in the next few months! Seriously, I think I should take a solemn oath to stay away from the computer for a while.

*pause to think for a few seconds*

Okay, so I think I seriously will take a solemn oath. I shall take on a personal challenge to only use the computer when I'm at work (because it's inevitable) and not stare at a screen of any kind for the next two weeks. I'm being realistic, because unlike a friend of mine who's challenging herself to have at least 6/7 hours of sleep a day (yes, the things we have to do as students), I can never pull off 30 days, given the fact that my job requires me to pretty much stare at that flat-screen monitor the whole day. So, I think 2 weeks is going to be quite the challenge. My only source of entertainment would prolly be the radio since a tele would constitute as looking at a screen...

And this challenge will begin as soon as I've handed in the last leg of my assignments. Oh, this would also mean that I won't be blogging for two weeks. I'll find another way of journaling/keeping an account. I think I shall try the pen-and-paper method; I hear it's quite effective =)

Well then, I'm off to catch up on my sleep time.

...and My List is Complete!

Great! Just what I need- the sore throat and flu. Now my list of pre-examination stress is complete. Why does this ALWAYS happen? For as long as I can remember, every time I have a major examination to prepare for, Mr and Mrs Bacteria will deligently pay me a visit bringing along the useless offspring of theirs. When I was going through my UPSR, it was the cold. When PMR came a'calling, Flu barged in through my nose the day I had my Math paper. I didn't get spared during the final most crucial college determining season of my life- SPM; Fever added itself to my already sleep-deprived body. And now when I have to sit through the final paper of my last sememster here in HELP University-College, I get the freaking sore throat and flu!!! Why me? Why now?!
Lord, please remind me to take my vitamins everyday so I can laugh at all these mean-lean-tiny beaings and get rid of them all!
Trust me, you'd think that having only one final paper means I get to relax a little as compared to some of my collegemates who have three, so me four papers. But on the contrary, the preassure can come from the reverse direction too- Just because I have one paper, there's no excuse not to do well in it. I mean, technically I've a little more time and so theoretically, I SHOULD do well in this course; the operative word being SHOULD. I think I'm toast...with tuna and mayo as the filling...

In Between Presentations and Studying


A must-see for those of you who need a night off from your stressfull week. This play is about a dysfunctional family with slightly larger than life characters playing the game of life with brilliant humor (NO slapstick, I assure you).

To everyone who reads this blog on a regular basis,

I'm sorry for not updating for the past week or so. I've been swamped with killer assignments and my finals are just a couple of DAYS away. I will try and put short posts. Thanks for being patient and please bear with me as I get through the grueling last days of my final semester (before I transfer later this Summer).

Oh, but for today I'm gonna say this: I think all cab drivers are out to get you. If there's ANYTHING they can do to squeeze even TWO extra bucks from you, they will!

Reaching the brink of insanity and about to crack,
Navee

To Juliana, with love...

Now I know why I wanted to go out with my friends so badly last Saturday night- I felt so guilty about forgetting Ju's birthday so I told myself that I'd make it up to her when I saw her that weekend. But When I did, I totally forgot about it untill yesterday.

Ju I'm really sorry about not wishing you...and so this is the only way I can think of making it up to you:

HAPPY (very) BELATED 19th BIRTHDAY, JU! You rock all the way, girl!!
Boys, she's single, she sings and play the drums and is a brilliant architect in the making so if you're interested...*winks*=)

Yay, Me!

This week's achievements:

  1. Getting a haircut. Yeah, after three weeks of procrastinating, I finally drove myself to my hairdresser of 9 faithful years and got my "bush tamed" (in the words of a former school mate of mine). Well, I didn't ACTUALLY procrastinate... I mean, it's just that more important things had to take precedence in those weeks, so I had no choice but to put it off until a later time. Ok, so by definition, I guess I did sorta procrastinate; but like I said, it's not as if I had a choice. And so, that is why I consider it a personal achievement becoz I forced myself to take time off to get this done!
  2. Doing Pilates. After a week-long absence, I made time get myself to the gym and go for the class. That was my second class and now the bigger challenge will be finding time to consistently go for this class on Wednesday mornings. I hope to be able to go regularly becoz it totally energizes me throughout the day.
  3. Dinner with my girl friends. The last time we get together for a girls' night out was four months ago and when we met then, we made a pact to meet on a monthly basis but as usual, college assignments and "devouring time" got the best of us. There were only three of us though as the rest were either abroad or tied down with something or another.

I shall let the pictures do the talking of last night's dinner:

Siew Kim, me and Ju (at the back)Siew Kim's Dinner- Salmon something something


Ju's Dinner- Fish and Chips something something

My Dinner- World Famous Burger something someting
This is by far the BEST drink ever!! The ULTIMATE MUDSLIDE
First, came this:
...and then this is what became of it:

hehe...

This is Ju's nice long arm picking the brochollis from Siew Kim's plate

I don't remember what we were laughing about I remember it was someting about school

Ju and I

Now that I've got my fix of girly time and pigging out, I'm all charged up to face the week ahead. Bring on the coffee...I know I'll need it.

My First Article

So, now that I dare to say out loud that I'm a part time web journalist, let me tell you about my first article:

The first time I wrote the article, it got lost in the server and never came back. Then after re-writing it, I couldn't upload it right after becoz the server was down...

To cut the long story short, it took me almost TWO weeks to get this article published here. Please do read it, if you have the time and as this is my first article, I anticipate a lot of kutukan. I've a lot to learn so say what you will, tell me how I could've spiced it up a lil more and I shall work on it in my next article. =)

Today's post is super slip-shod but taht's only because that's the way I feel right now....bleagh!
