The audacity of some people!!!

so... i've discovered that the 'i'll do it tomorrow' thing really doesn't work! gosh, i'm a slacker! how can i make up for this?

so yesterday was my first day after the conclusion of my exam period... and i went with mum to kamdar kl, near jalan masjid india... n i bought a set of silver n glass beads bangles... they were abit too big for my wrist... but i liked them... n they costed rm18.90... then mum bought smaller multi-coloured bangles for her kindy kids to wear during concert... n they were rm1.00 per set!!! mum got me a set too! hahaha... it was so funny... 1st time buying n doing this sort of stuff!!!

after that we went to carrefour to get the YV stuff and ended up returning home at 10.30p.m. and only slept at 4a.m. after making the icing for the orphanage kids to decorate the cupcakes... so much hard work... but seems like i'm the only one doing the hard work... in the morning, i was the first one to arrive at our waiting place in um... why is it always like that? people waltzing in at any time they please... it is utterly unprofessional... and to lay claim that our organization has a level of professionalism is total bullshit! another thorn in my foot is the fact that i bloody well had to sacrifice my sleep for the preparations when other people could go clubbing till 4a.m. and others still, who forgot to buy some stuff... is this team work? if it is so, then i'd rather work individually and claim all the credit for myself... it is really amusing to watch some people conciously becoming decoration yet appear to be doing a great deal of work... i would say that it is an acquired art (or rather craftiness?)

but well, enough of that... i think someone is harbouring some grudge against me... i'm not sure though... is being purposefully ignored/left out of plans a sign of a run in the fabric of 'friendship'? or perhaps the 'friendship' itself was never a friendship but rather a mutualism relationship where we bear with each other to a certain level? maybe i've got to stop thinking about it too much... not let the nitty gritty things get to me... sometimes it's so hard to look the other way and be gracious when u know that someone is just being nice to you because there is a motive behind that person... but harbouring ill-feelings will lead to bitterness and a bitter person isn't what i want to be at this age...

so the kids loved the decorating cupcake session although it was abit messy, and we managed to end early... the gardening part was abit redundant because the seeds they bought was so few that it looked so miserable... and the 'syiok sendiri' attitude of @ers can get pretty annoying at times... i'l leave it at that...

luckily we ended early and then i went to mum's hairstylist and waited so long... and then we went to 1u because i had to get a present for nadia... manage to get her some red earth stuff and i also got some for myself... nice! then i went to her party and the only people i knew besides nadia was rebecca and her bf... and later kam came with his wacky sister... and that's all! my old friends circle is thinning... but it's also due to the other members being in different parts of the world! so i look forward to the time when all of us can be reunited!

Done and over with it!

i can't count how many times i've mentally dictated out posts since my last one... someone should invent a thoughts converter that stores the info into a pendrive or something... that would make blogging so easy!!! especially for scatterbrains like me...

so i just finished my last paper for my 2nd semester finals... it was geology... which i was really nervous about... but praise God!!! what i chose to emphasize to study on the night before came out in the questions!!! although it's confirmed that i missed out a few points/facts here and there but i feel really relieved that i practically wrote and wrote non-stop for about 2 hours!!! although what i wrote might have been bullshit... the feeling of accomplishment (probably of being able to write for that long a time) is still there... however, the other papers were kind of disappointing... not because of the questionns but rather because i didn't study hard enough... somehow, this time around it's even harder to get myself to really sit down n study... i don't know why that is so... other people have been mugging since a month before the exams... could it be something that's got to do with uni life? or my character slipping into 'useless bum' mode...

i'm listening to pink floyd's 'the dark side of the moon' under LK's recommendation and listening to it and trying to type this is making me go nuts!!! tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock...

went out to midvalley with BY today... we really hung out... had choc frapp in starbucks, lunch in mcD, went to buy my bluetooth usb adapter... tried to find kamdar but turns out it's closed down... speaking of the bluetooth thing... i don't know what's wrong with the thing... i managed to transfer 4 pictures and the thing stopped functioning... i think it might be my phone too... stupid lousy crap (the bluetooth adapter i mean... i love my phone!!!)... we took a cab from um and also back to um... as a whole, i did alot of walking today... coz we went to linguistic faculty today (and the indian lady was quite unforthcoming...) and then back to college and then to the tnb power station and then in midvalley and then in pyramid (with mum)...

last saturday, i went to see the click five with LK in the quicksilver revolution tour at sunway lagoon... getting the tickets was a headache... i registered my hotlink sim card for it but until today they haven't sent me any reply... and in the end sunway pyramid was giving them out for free with any purchase made... so we had a drink at starbucks and claimed 2 tickets on friday... and turns out that LK's friend who's interning in astro was giving out the tickets to the la bodega waiters!!! talk about untapped resources!!! dunggu la... anyway, we went at about 9.00p.m. and we just about in time for their performances (after walking a great deal around the sunway area - hotel, mall, hospital and theme park!) and turns out it was near the artificial beach... people were playing in the water in bikinis and such... and also the crowd was made out of young screaming teenagers and also parents who were chaperoning their kids... felt abit out of place... the band itself was ok... not spectacular (probably due to the crappy sound system... which was even softer than our church's easter presentation!!!)... the lead singer was abit pitchy here and there... truely, the only way to know whether a band is skillfully good is to listen/see them live in concert!!! but anyway, their songs are still very catchy to hear... i think if my friends knew i went for the concert, they'd think i was nuts to go during exam period... but like i said earlier, i'm losing my momentum in the studying department (although, yesterday i found reading geology was very interesting... until the point where i started to panic because there was so much i hadn't covered...)

i've become addicted to 'grey's anatomy'... and i discovered that i have the feature songs of the first three episodes on my hardrive... purely by coincidence... the jem song came with my phone, the cadigans song was accidentally downloaded long ago and the lisa loeb song has been my ringtone for quite awhile... and also patrick dempsey is so charming!!! wait a minute... have i blogged about this before? something about in the past i thought he looked like sean penn but a younger version... but now, i think patrick dempsey looks charming and sean penn looks evil... hahaha

i'm sitting here trying to churn out past memories... but i'm having a mental block (now, how many times have i said that in previous posts? must be one of my most common phrases...)

oh, i went for the @lcum executive interview during my study break (which was about almost 3 weeks ago) and it was disastrous... i barged in twice... first i thought i was late and turns out someone was still being interviewed... and the second time when i thought i could go in but turns out the interviewers were having a discussion!!! and we had to do a few seconds of square dance before the interview... and i had problems answering some of the questions... i wasn't very serious because the interviewers were the aiesecers that i know... and they recorded our interview session... and i think they knew i didn't read the JD... but obviously i wasn't going to waste my studying time reading a complicated jd... well anyway, i just recieved news that i'm in the managerial team now... funny thing is that my enthusiasm has slowly but steadily ebbed away... but i think the best option for me is to just do it... sometimes a kick i the butt is all i need to do something useful and in the end i would enjoy it... is this the 'wong' family trait? seems quite repetative in my generation... hmm... genetical traits being expressed or human laziness?

ok i think this should be a long enough post as a replacement for my absence... but seriously, i don't think anyone actually reads this stuff... so no one's actually missing this crap! hahahha... perasan betul!!! it's sort of becoming a trend to be 'syiok sendiri' especially after entering aiesec... i hope i can be active in other societies starting from next semester onwards... namely pkv... suddenly, after last week's sunday message, i felt like i wanted to go for SCG (school of christian growth)... i need to read the bible more... i'll start tomorrow! (i know my fellow christian sisters will say 'start today, don't just say tomorrow...') ... but on a serious note, i think it's getting quite important for us, christians to know the words of the Bible in these times where our faith is constantly being attacked... hint: the news tells it all...

fast forward

so it's been about a month since my last post... since then, i've attended the aisesec ap nite... in melia hotel... 5 stars my arse, it is!?! ML lost her handphone that night... couldn't be aiesecers coz almost everyone has better phones than hers... so why steal it? anyway, we had to bring a mask, and i didn't even take mine out... hahaha... mine is the one i've had since like 10 years ago... from a cousin's party... and i wore my cny 1st day attire... and everyone else was wearing dresses... btw mine's a 2 piece... a canary yellow tube with white gypsy skirt with sequin motif at the waist band. overall, the nite didn't reach my expectation... they said there was a band, turns out there was only karaoke singing for entertainment... and the food was equivalent to chinese economy rice... i guess i'm too used to sheraton imperial and the likes... but from the promo mails, it really sounded great... ML and i didn't go for the after-party in an apartment in ampang... we went home... on the way home we made a wrong turn... hahaha... had to get directions from LK. luckily i've been to the place we "tersesat" before... so it wasn't so intimidating...

had my geology test this week... it was horrible... i think this time i'm really going to get a D... the last time, it turned out quite ok... a B-... but this time... i couldn't even think of what to write!!! so sad... anyway, there were some malay guys who brought in small notes... and they were sharing it between themselves by throwing it in the front... incredible... they're blatantly cheating... and they don't look like 1st years nor 2nd or even 3rd year students... probably failing every semester or something... and when i came out, my pink corsage on my backpack was gone... the geology department must be filled with thieves... ML droped a pencil there and it went M.I.A... Emily left her water bottle there and it also vanished... sometimes i can't believe uni students could act so... it's really saddening to find out day after day that education can't irradicate these kinds of primitive behaviours that brings them down to the levels of heathens... perhaps this is only the situation in local universities... but i doubt that...

yesterday i watched grey's anatomy on astro... and it is really good!!! i used to think patrick dempsey looked like sean penn.... but he is so much more charming... although not too good looking... hahaha... but yes, i plan to follow this series... i guess i can since i won't be staying in college from next semester onwards... speaking about next semester, i can't believe i'll be in 2nd year and i can't imagine what i'll be majoring then...

the latest thing in aiesec is the JE application. the JD looks so frightening and demanding... i don't know whether i should apply or not... the dateline for the online application is friday and dateline for hardcopy is saturday. we are having the opening ceremony of young visionaries on saturday... i foresee a very busy and complicated day ahead. i hope yv06 works out... at the rate its going, i can't even picture the light at the end of the tunnel... anyway, this is the website for our project: http://youngvisionaries2006.mywebhut.com
