David to come to Malaysia?

It has been a pleasant week!=) For one, I submitted another one of my assignment which is in a form of a report writing. And now I am left with 3 more assignments dateline to meet!!!!!=D Yeah! THREE FREAKING MORE!! Out of the 9 assignments that I started with at the beginning of my second semester.

Yeah. I practically heave a huge sigh of relieve as I typed that out!*grins*

Besides receiving feedbacks regarding to one of my literature review(essay writing to be precise). Ho man! It feels good=) Though I was having those butterflies in my tummy the night before thinking about it.

Though the lecture this week had been a drag less interesting and I am usually half awake in the morning since for some reason, I just can't sleep at night but the week is still a pleasant week regardless..

So our Carmen turns 20 this week!!!=) I think among all the girlfriends that I have, she's the girliest of them all! She loves pink, dancing, cute stuff, doodling, and anything girly. She has this laugh which can makes you smile just by looking at her laughing. Again. I love it when my friends laugh=) She loves doing things spontaneously and she is restless. Always restless..X)

Happy Belated Birthday Carmen!!!:)

This is for you<3

Apparently, Sony Music Malaysia is working on getting David Archuleta to perform here again!!!! ZOMG! I'll die of happiness if he really comes! So yeah, I am crossing my fingers, toes and eyes for that to happen! I so wanna meet him again!! Another, Sony Music Malaysia will be giving away prizes from Adam Lambert, David Archuleta, Shakira and Good Charlotte! To make that happen, for those of you who haven't "Like" the page, do drop by Sony Music Malaysia. Once they reach 10k people on Facebook to "Like" that page, they'll give away those prizes!

So Halloween is up next. And at Jyun's place(he stays in a condo) the kids are all dressed up. Going around trick or treating!

They are so adorable=)

I get to watch Pinocchio again after AGES of not watching that Disney movie all because of Jyun^^ Managed to guess the surprise before he revealed them to me though=p He's like a batman(I use batman, since he likes batman so much) cause whenever we get ourselves in trouble, he'll comes to our mind first...X) Carmen accidentally lost her car keys yesterday. Turns out, Aruna accidentally took her car key. Cause her car key looks like hers and mine. We are all owners of the MyVi car..Xp

I am supposed to work on another report on mine but my mind isn't in it. Meh. That report confuses me..=/ Right. Back to the damned report.

I shall bid goodbye to October

It's Sunday morning noon.

It still feels like morning to me though it's past 12pm already.

Let's just say I like starting my day a lil bit later on Sunday.

I have my half full cup of coffee next to me as I am typing this and this is my 4th/5th cup of coffee I have this week(Usually I'll try not to drink more than 3 cups of coffee). I better go on a coffee diet SOON.

I know in my previous post I did mention something about how excited I am for my break. Ignore that. I can't freaking wait for the arrival of DECEMBER!!! I love Decembers. Besides the fact that I'll be done with my finals, and it's a festive season month. I am looking forward to meet my cousins who will be back from Melbourne and perhaps my cousin bro who will be back from the States and boy, he has transformed!!

I already have a few plans planned out for meself and my bestie will be done with her STPM by the second week of December, so it'll be a lot of catching up to do with that girl. Jade will be having her kindie orientation this December and I think I have a job coming up=) I can't wait! Owh right. I shouldn't get all too hyped up over that cause fucking hell! I really needa catch up with my journal reading. I hate reading some journals. Sighs. And apparently it's normal=s

So yeah, today I woke up and started thinking that, boy, it's almost the end of the month and I have my finals to study for and jeez. I shall stop ranting.=X

There's no such thing as when. Cause that happens out of habit. And you usually don't know when it develops not till you realize that you are hooked on it.

Of sex ed and bullies

This week is mostly about sexing things up during lesson for most of the lesson this week is about attraction or sex. I start off the week by watching Chocolat during my Development Psych class and I must say Johnny Depp looked amazingly hot in that movie. The girls from my class were practically melting during that show despite of the cold room we were all in when we watched that movie. Like seriously. They made this noise as if they've achieve orgasm or something when Johnny Depp were making out with the lady in the movie. *rolles eyes* No actually they were squealing. Whatever.

Then there's sex ed class we all had for our Mental Health lesson with Dr Alia. Although it's only that Thursday since we had our sex ed class but I can only remember some of the lesson being taught. Mainly about birth control and the consequences about not having safe sex. Stuff like that. It reminded me of what Kelvin told me before. LOL! About how paranoid he is about STDs and herpes. HAHA!

Aneeway, I watched You Again with my bro since I was badly in need to take my mind away from work. It's a good chic flick movie and the main reason why I wanted to watch that movie it's because Jamie Lee Curtis is in it=p

So yeah, nobody survives high school without a heart break. High school drama, cat fights (well I was in an all girls school), more high school dramas. But the main thing that caught my attention was the bullying part. This week on the 20th, there's this wear purple day to commemorate the day of the death of a few gay guys who took away their own lives due to bullying. Then again, I was a survivor of those. I have my fair share of being a victim back then but it made me stronger. It's the factor that mould me into who I am today cause I found out later that bullies are such weak pathetic beings. That also relates to this week's lesson during my Development Psych class about the controversial friend subject. Which reminds me tremendously of this being I know of since kindergarten. My lecturer asked me to give a description of that being and with my first hand experience being with that whatever you want to call it, I can give a good description about that being. Realize that I don't wanna regard her as a girl or a lady or a tramp? But I have no contact with her since god knows when and I have no desire to do so=) What's vivid in my memory is the endless bullying by the good for nothing opposite sex back then. They just love picking on me. Can't blame me for getting back at them;)

In that movie Kristen Bell plays the character of the ex victim. And there's this one scene where she guffawed at those girls(empty headed bitches) who planned their pregnancy when they were in college was freakishly similar to how I'll react if I happen to come across girls who are like them. Even my brother laughed out loud at that scene..X)

I can't frigging wait for my break. I have approximately a month plus left before my finals and my my..I'm trying not to think so much about it..=s

David Archuleta

The look of genuine surprise plastered on David's face when he saw the crowd.

Sighs.

He's amazing.

I wish he'll come back to Malaysia.

The mayhem

Phew.

Journals digging and information overload sure is exhausting.

I'm currently taking a break trying to allow the information seep into my brain cells before I tie them up together into a proper bundle. Oh boy. I really hate the page limit given. 15 pages! FREAKING 15 pages only! Blargh! It makes me feel so restricted having to eliminate so many things when most of them are related and necessary.

My group mates and I did our social psych experiment this week to meet the participants quota requirement. Unfortunately, we are not completely done with it yet, hence we will have to continue carrying out the experiment next week. We had a blast though. Poor Jyun missed the whole mayhem that the gang caused in the lab since he had to hunt for participants for us. While waiting for Jyun to hunt for participants, our dearest confederates got restless. The confederates consists of my classmates or shall I put it as "the gang".

There's this rather "small" fridge like box and the guys got amused by it. Chee Boon, being his usual self, decided to see if he can fit into the fridge like box and amazingly he is able to crawl into it! So they did a scene from a horror movie (if I am not mistaken it's a scene from The Ring, the part where this lady crawled out from the television).

Take one, I present you dearest Oppa aka Chee Boon, aka the class clown:

Take two, they begin to stuff another member of the gang into the fridge like box (I think it's Su Yen this time)

Take three, I present you Sunny the Zombie!!

Weng Hoe was explaining his research on zombies to the gang..

Take four, Sue Yen spot a roach, and she decided to kill it:

Take five, Sue Yen probably got restless and decided that she wanted to beat Chee Boon up to release her pent up excessive energy:

Take six, Sue Yen turned to Weng Hoe and threatened to beat him up for Weng Hoe was trying to rescue Chee Boon from being beaten up by Sue Yen

Take seven, Chee Boon isn't hurt enough yet, so Sue Yen decided to give him a good punching on his face

Take eight, I don't know how to describe this picture but the clown of the class can't stop laughing

They later spent the rest of the time waiting by checking out the aggression video that Da Jie managed to shoot while Sue Yen, Chee Boon, Sunny, and Weng Hoe were in action.

I wasn't really there that time. I actually can't remember much from that scene except for watching the videos on Sue Yen's mobile. Correction, I don't think I was there and I don't know where I am=X But I roughly know what happened from the pictures. I got those pics from Da Jie since she tagged us in Facebook=)

Things that I've learned this week:

1) In India, girls and boys can't be seen sitting together in public. Hence if I am in India, I'll be ostracized by their people from the day I landed in India.

2) That we can't have a staring game in the dark. My dearest bf proposed that we should have a staring game when we were half way watching Schindler's list during our tutorial class and of course I asked him how is it possible when I can't even see him in the dark=___=

3) That I can't spot bruises in the dark either. I stupidly asked the bf of mine if there're any bruises on his knee since he careless bumped his knees against the table(the downside of having such a long leg. Tsk tsk) and he said the same thing to me (look at statement 2, my reply to him)

4) The term bf can cause so much controversy. It's a bullshit friend, a new title given by me to Jyun and he knows why..=p

5) Broken relationships are supposed to be a bad thing!o.O Yeah, I didn't know about that actually. I mean I always see a broken relationship as a medium to move on. But then again, I didn't take any of my previous relationship seriously to view it as a bad thing.

6) There's no way that you can tell you ex that you guys can be friends after a break up. Hmm..

7) Having your hand burnt by hot water can hurt like bitch. I didn't know it's supposed to hurt till I got myself burnt by accident. It feels like salt being rubbed on my wound. Ouch.

8) How comforting a hug can be. I've forgotten how is it like to be hugged by someone and yesterday when I met one of my bestie, she gave me the hug that I needed the most. Hugging is a good medicine since it gives the person hugged an emotional lift and the bestie gave me that yesterday=)

I also received my feedback from my Community Mental Health lecturer regarding to the workshop that my group and I conduct. We did well=) Although I can't remember much of our feedback from Dr Alia, but she managed to summarize them for us=p And I also found out that my classmates and I will be assign to conduct another workshop next year. As for the details, I have no idea about it yet. I guess that's something for me to look forward to?

Eat Pray Love

It's the week of my break!!!!=D

But it doesn't feel like I am on my break at all!=(

Been going to campus at least thrice this week, to discuss my group's social psych experiment proposal, to conduct my workshop as part of my Community Mental Health assignment, and yesterday my group mates and I conducted our first experiment.

My workshop went well. The feedbacks were good. My listeners were surprisingly quiet, coming from the American Degree Program student, I didn't expect them to be that quiet. Oh well. I didn't get the Canadian Pre-u student slot and my group were the first to conduct the workshop. At least I managed to get some participants talk for a bit. It'll be so depressing having your listeners so unresponsive. It's like talking to the walls=____=

My Social Psych experiment was alright. Will move on to the next few participants next week since we are not done with it yet.

Watched Eat Pray Love with Jyun somewhere this week. We like reading the book hence we decided to watch the movie too. Some of my friends watch that movie before me, they mentioned that the book is way better than the movie. As for Jyun and I, no disappointments though. We like the movie and the book equally=) I especially love the settings. Watching it made me crave to go another escapism in Italy alone! So watch out for the beautiful settings of the movie and I do recommend you to read the book before watching it.

Our favourite character in the movie is Ketut. He's a funny man!X)

Once again, Jyun surprise me somewhere this week=D So now I have the whole list of The Other Side of Down song from David=) Thank you, Jyunnie!!!=p

My favourite from the album, The Other Side of Down, Look Around, My Kind of Perfect, Parachutes and Airplanes, Falling Stars, Elevator, Something Bout Love, owh wait. I like the whole album!

No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,

My missing dog!*gasps*

In the previous post of mine, I've mentioned about how terrible my week is. Well today, is the last day of the week and I thought the dark clouds have been giving way to the sun to shine(I'm using metaphors to describe things since that seemed to be the only way for me to put how things are into words).

I've been fretting over my missing watch since the day it did a free fall on me, deciding to live in a toilet bowl instead. I've not been myself much too though I did managed to survive the week without having the people around me suspecting that I am not feeling too good about how things are going.

Went watch hunting but I didn't find any which I like. They are either too big for my small wrist or not practical enough for me. So yeah, I finally get myself a new watch with my sis and mom next to me when I needa decide on which watch should I get.

I got the pink one since my sis said it looks nicer compared to the blue ones. My sis has a sharp eyes for things so I trust her to give me her suggestions on stuff.

Got back home feeling really happy about my new watch said hello to my dog and headed upstairs to show my bro my new watch. I finally settled down to read some journals since I am way behind my journals reading, but I sensed something is wrong. Cause my mom is yelling for us. I decided to ask my mom what is wrong and she said, "YOUR DOG IS MISSING!!!!"

Immediately I ran outside and started to hunt for my dog. My dog's name is Vicky, but I have a pet name for it, called it Cookie or Darling cause it likes me calling him by that name. Usually when my dog decided to go missing, it could be found somewhere in one of my neighbour's place. But it's not there.

The road is empty since it's already past 10pm(my neighbours sleep real early). Started calling my dog hoping that it'll respond with a bark. But no, I can't hear a thing! Not even it's bell ringing(my sis decided to get my dog a bell so that we know where is he when he decided to play hide and seek with us). My dad took my car and started to hunt for my dog. I decided to hunt for my dog by foot. Went over to my cousin sis's place to see if it happened to be there and told my uncle about my missing dog, went over to one of my teacher's place since an aunt told us our dog is there. Mom doesn't want me to go too far but I couldn't be bothered anymore cause I am afraid that someone might dognapped it if I didn't get to it before others.

Visions of my dog being bitten by big dogs haunt me. More visions of my dog being hit by a car disturbed me tremendously. Or my dog being snatched away by some stranger. I absolutely cannot bear those thoughts of my dog not being around. Yes, I was being really paranoid. If you have a dog and if it's missing you will be like that too. That is if your dog meant so much to you and if your dog has already become part of your family.

My dad even went over to my bestie's housing area to hunt for my Cookie. No luck though. We tracked down those places that my dog are familiar with and there's still no sight of my dog. My brother wanted to walk over to our teacher's place, Kawsy to hunt for it but my dad decided to go for another round of search at my cousin's housing area which is also part of my housing area. All of us, which includes my mom, my siblings and I went got another round of search. The final round. Throughout the search, I got helpless and the only thing I can do is to call out its name and pray. I told God that He must help me to find my dog and I begged Him to give me back my dog. I was shivering and I can practically feel my heart beating against my chest. Not exaggerating but my hands were shaking frivolously.

We passed by a coffee shop. My dad usually buys newspaper from that coffee shop in the morning and my dog is always there in the morning with my dad. My sis spotted my dog sitting down happily with a lady and another women IN THAT COFFEE SHOP!

Sis : VICKY IS IN THAT SHOP!!!

My dad immediately hit the break and all three of us(my siblings and I) ran out towards the shop. I said another urgent prayer and I think God sensed that it's urgent since I went like this : "Owh please please pleaseeeeee let it be my dog there!" And true enough, it's my stupid dog! It gave us that puppy dog eyes look as if it's telling us that he's sorry that he decided to go exploring by itself. Nonetheless, we are all really really REALLY happy to see our dearest Cookie there.

I think I woke my neighbours up. I hope not. Cause I was practically calling out to my dog like a freaking siren just now.

Phew! What a way to end the week with. Cookie please don't go missing anymore.

Unforeseen circumstances

What a week!!! I just finished reading a book by Jodi Picoult(yes, another book down despite of the busy busy week). Anyway, I had a terrible week. I was feeling especially fragile this week which is rather rare. But I managed to pull myself together when the time doesn't allow me to shatter.

I had two assignment due this week(I can't count the job analysis presentation as an assignment so I didn't count it as three). Handed in my Development Psych essay on Wednesday and it feels good to be able to get them done and handed in. Job analysis report on Thursday alongside with the presentation and my group were the first to present our report. Aruna did a really good job organizing the information. I love working with that girl, she's so organize. And she get down to work immediately when we begin to work on our report. So we didn't take much time to finish our report. Thank you Runa for being such a great partner!!!=D

My favourite watch dropped into the toilet bowl in the morning and before I managed to save it from disappearing from my wrist, it managed to unleashed itself and did a free fall into the toilet bowl. And all I can do is to stare into the toilet bowl with dismay and tried not to allow my tears to spill. Called my mom and ask her what can I do about my watch she said I should leave it and she'll buy me a new watch. Although I told her I like the watch very much since the watch has been with me during the tough times, but my mom said I can't do much about it since I can't reach out to retrieve it in the toilet bowl. I would if I could, but I can't. Came out from the toilet in tears and decided that I can turn back since Jyun is waiting for me and I have a lecture to attend and I don't wanna be late for my lecture. So yeah, Jyun doesn't know what to do seeing me in tears and bless him, I frightened him. Whoops.=X

My wrist feels bare after that though with the watch gone. Oh well. But I think I'll get another to replace it soon, I hope.

I did a career test on my participant who is a high school boy. He's only 14 but he sure knows what he wants to do when he grows up. We went over to an international school which is situated in Brickfields. Spent about two hours in that school and I guess it was rather interesting. I am gonna conduct a career test in December on my brother though, since he doesn't know what he wants to do after high school.

My plan to watch Eat Pray Love doesn't work due to unforeseen circumstances. Wanted to watch the premier but I didn't make it for that, wanted to watch it on Thursday after my tutorial class ended, but my tutorial class got extended and by the time my tutorial class ended, I was already drained. Then yesterday, we didn't get the tickets to watch the movie.

Something did happened yesterday though. Besides that career test I conducted in an international school. My side mirror broke. Dad finally decided to change it! Hah! But it did shook me up a lil when it broke completely. Edwin was with me, and I was hoping that he didn't tell the rest of my classmates but I guess he did cause Wengy came up to me and asked me about it. Since I didn't wanna talk about it, so I uh..I think I just told him yeah, it broke and didn't comment further. Thank goodness my parents didn't ask me anything about it. Phew.

I know I haven't been seeing much of my siblings since I don't know when. Although my sis sleeps in my room, but by the time she came into my room, I am already long gone in my dreamland.

I am now on my "semester break" for a week. I have a workshop to conduct next Wednesday. An assignment due after my semester "break" and another by the end of this month. A bestie's birthday coming up next. And I'm still deciding whether to unwind a lil by going for a gathering full of strangers cause it might be interesting. Hmmm..

And the gang from my class gave me an unexpected belated birthday gift which is so sweet of them!!!=) Lunch was awesome fun with them yesterday! My lecture and tutorials were rather interesting this week too!:)

So yeah, it wasn't really a terrible week if I ignore the few terrible parts of the week. And I'm gonna do that!=p Jodi Picoult speaks for me about that. I call it, selective memory.

I woke up this morning wondering where am I cause I think I knocked out when I got back home yesterday. It's like I got sucked into this hole and I don't know where am I but I didn't question much about it since I feel so safe in it. Anyway, I felt so much better and fresher and I'm ready to start all over again cause it's a brand new day. I know that stupid line might annoy some of you here=p

I amaze myself this week. That's all I can say.

Have a good weekend peeps.
