I Know You Love Me

Mummy dearest made my day today. She bought me a sneakers. How I love my mum. She always remember me in her shopping list. Ever wonder where I got my spending habit? Don't blame me, it's in the gene.

Only the white sneakers is mine, the rest is my sister's.

Next thing on my shopping list would be the Hush Puppies Spain Jersey. Will hunt it soon. 

Bad Day

It is just the first week of my semester and I'm already mentally and physically drained. The clash timetable has finally been settled. I seriously hope nobody will fuck up with my timetable anymore. Tolerance is no longer in my dictionary when it comes to this matter. I'd tolerated others for 4 semesters and I'd enough. 

I posted a status on my Facebook last night. "I know I had fallen deep. Crying is definitely a clear sign" I appreciated friends whom concern about me but actually there's more story behind all that. It wasn't the prank that got me. It is the fact that I had definitely falling for him. I thought I have control over my feeling but obviously I don't. It's growing bad. And the uncertainty kills me. We're doing good now and I afraid fate will burst my happy bubble. You know, it's like when you thought everything is okay, then suddenly something gone wrong and you're done.

Like usual, he managed to curve a smile on my face and made me blushing red last night. I bumped into him at the cinema and we talked for awhile . That's definitely a good sign. The smile on his face, it melts my heart. He seemed as excited as I was.

I need more sleep. Trust me, I felt so tired these few days driving others around. The stiff shoulder is getting unbearable each day. First thing first, I need to cut down my social outings with friends. My body demands a good sleep and it need to relax even if my mind don't. I need to shut myself from the world outside and give my body the rejuvenation that it's deserved. I going to have a me time this weekend. Just laying around, reading some books, watching some movies at home.

When I Volunteer, I Volunteer with the Japanese

Let's the picture talks, shall we?

Rise and shine

Camwhoring is a MUST

Jonathan and his demonstration

Jonathan had helped me before when I was surveying Sampadi Forest Reserve in Lundu for my Final Year Project few months back. Speaking of FYP, I haven't start mine yet. What to do? My supervisor told me he might change my research area, that's one good reason not to start doing my draft now. I know, lame excuse but whatever.

Has anyone been this exciting to plant a tree? I know I had.

Cool eh? Made it to history.

Bidayuh dance

Four wheel drive. First time.

The tour guide, on the way to Semenggoh Wildlife

Can you spot the Orang Utan? She's hanging on the tree

They watched Orang utans, I watched them

Overall, the trip was fun. It felt great to be able to give something back to the nature and be a tourist at your own place. The Japanese are very friendly and humble. One advice tho, you might want to keep some distance when talking to them. (Their saliva splashing like a heavy rain).

I WANT THESE

I won't ask for anything else if you give me these. Well, I'll just ask for purse and heels to go along with.

I'm so in love with these dresses.

DAD!!! read my blog please!

Industrial Training

In the midst if writing my report, I couldn't help but secretly wish that I'd started this report earlier. I was given more than a week to finish up my work. But me being myself, I'd waited till the very last moment to write the report. Same old me with the growing procrastination. In the end, I had to push forward the dateline. This attitude got to go when the new semester starts. This semester I am not writing down any resolutions as I know myself well enough that I won't keep up with any of it. Just a promise to struggle harder will I stick to the back of my mind.

Well, with the report almost finish, my practical has finally comes to its end. Words will not be enough for me to describe what had I learnt in this two months time. Reading about the work is totally differ than actually doing it, experience it. Working in the government sector might not be so bad at all, but I never work in the private sector, so no comparison can be done. What I learnt during this training is not just the working aspect, I learnt how to get along with my colleagues whom our age differences is like father and daughter. Now I have no problem to strike up a conversation with the old generation. Sometime I even found myself amused listening to them sharing their life experience. Some even introduced me to their family or precisely, son. Went to the field myself to interview the people whom are involved with the department projects giving me the first hand experience about their life. And the best part for me is I get to explore new places. Asajaya, Simunjan, Sebuyau, Sadong Jaya and Serian, I had been there quite a few times. And knowing me, I still get excited every time I go to any new places. Perhaps the only downside of this training is we didn't get any allowance. It will be nice to actually get paid, at least I will appreciate the moolah more since I earn it myself.

The experience and knowledge I get in this two months time.

I had a sense of New Zealand here, and I look fat too. FML

P/S: I joined the Japanese Malaysian Association for their tree planting in Gunung Apeng, Serian yesterday. Very fun indeed to give back to the nature, will blog about it soon.

New House

The excitement of moving to a new house died soon after my eyes caught the sight of my stuffs. I used to love packing, the thrill of knowing you're going to a new place or any place excites me. But moving twice in two months is super tiring. And this time I'm moving to a completely empty house. No furniture at all. So, I had to add furniture shopping to my to-do-list. It's exhausting too, surveying the furniture shops around town looking for the cheap bargains. If only money grows on tree, I'll be ticking everything in the furniture catalog.

Here's the scoop of my new house with just a piece of mattress, a 3 tiered shelf and a cheap dining table which I turned into my study table. I haven't finish unpacking yet, am too lazy actually. 

Half of my stuffs in the living room.

The super small kitchen.

The window side

So, that's pretty much how my new house looks like. Except now I already change the curtain and unpack some stuffs. One thing I love about my new room is the space. This one is almost twice the size of my old room in Allamanda. So, boo Allamanda for kicking me. Screw you with the lousy facilities.

Argentina Vs Germany

We were facing the big screen watching our team got beaten by the Germany. He placed his hope on Tevez and mine on Messi. Pfft...we both wrong. Nevertheless, I was having a great time with him. He laughing at me while I'm screaming every time Germany scored. Good times good times.

By the way, I'm rooting for Spain. Wondering why? Torres, get it? I'm a loyal fan. But I don't think my boys can kick Germany's ass in the semi final. Still, it's a 50-50 chance.
