Moody


It's amazing how fast my mind and mood changes sometimes. Perhaps I'm really that fickle-minded. In less than a week's time, I'll be returning to Penang. Sigh. I don't like being homesick. And I don't like being away for my birthday. My 21st birthday. Yep, I'm getting old. And more grumpy. Haha...

So, what would I like for my birthday? Loads of stuff actually. Haha... Most of them are just stuff to fulfill one's own foolish, material desires. Well, wishing for world peace is noble and all, but I got to be more realistic. Anyway, nowadays saving the environment, Mother Earth is more important...

Back to my birthday, which I predict will be a lonely day (don't mind my mood, they often get more and more negative as my birthday gets nearer), I couldn't make up my mind. I've been rereading Harry Potter in the anticipation of the last book and fifth movie, and would be thrilled to get the last book. But then, that would means a late present. On the other hand, I've been thinking of getting a laptop cooler (but lack of the budget to do so) or a new pair of headphones (those that are more comfortable for long hours). I wanted a new bag too, for the new semester but this is not what I really NEED, just something that I WANT. So, I got to be more sensible, and not wasting money.

Previously, I wanted to get a new watch. But after a costly change of new strap and battery, I changed my mind. And sometimes I feel that I'm not worthy of any present. It really makes me wonder how my mind works. And sometimes I feel that I should be grateful and content for whatever I receive. It's the thought that counts. It REALLY makes me wonder how my conscience works.


PS. I wanted to get my hair highlighted too, but Mom objects to it. Though, if I put in some harder persuasion, I think I got a high chance of succeeding. However, I think that having the natural hair colour is not that bad. See how contradicting I can be?

Nodame!



Aww... I got hooked on the manga first, then its anime version. And now I found out that there is a handsome guy in the live action drama! I want to watch the drama! I want! I want! Gawd... could you not agree with me? Just check out the picture.

Oops. You are probably feeling like 'huh?'. No problem, I'll fill you in. Currently I'm hooked on Nodame Cantabile. The manga revolves around Noda Megumi (hence, Nodame), an untidy(is an understatement) girl who is exceptional in piano. Even though she couldn't read the piano score, she can play a difficult piece after hearing it once. However she plays the piano haphazardly. Shinichi Chiaki is her sempai (senior) who coincidently lives next door (much to his chagrin). He is also a brilliant pianist (and violinist) but he actually want to be a conductor. Nodame fell in love with Shinichi at first sight. He's the opposite of Nodame, clean, neat, good cook(wow!), perfectionist, confident. So you can imagine how hilarious it can get. But unknowingly, they complements each other well... That's all I'm going to tell you. Haha.. Oh, it made me want to listen to classical too... And now I know more names than just Mozart and Beethoven.

Kijal trip


Since I have forgotten what I want to blog about today, I'll write something about the trip that my friends and I went not so long ago.. Kijal, Terengganu..

Not a bad place, though, if you are planning to have a more adrenaline-filled trip, you better go somewhere else. We stayed at Awana Kijal, and that place has a long stretch of private beach and a big golfcourse. It's very soothing, lying on the beach chair, listening to the waves. The waves are quite strong, so be careful if you want to swim in the sea. We didn't golf (hahaha...), but we did cycled around the place. We also took a local bus to town, well, mainly because all of us want to eat seafood -.-"... Man, the ride was almost an hour... The resort is really THAT far from town. Oh, I forgot to mention, we went to Awana by bus from Puduraya. We didn't stop at the station, instead we asked the driver to drop us off near Awana Kijal. Hehehe.. The seafood we ate was nothing exceptional, plus not that cheap too..

Oh, by the way, there is a spa treatment too, but our budget couldn't afford it.. Haha... so, I would say this place is suited for honeymoon.. Sea, sand, sun, spa and golf..Er, or is it sun, sea, sand? Spa and golf are extra >.< Hahaha...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Once again, I spend my holiday rotting in the house, basically doing sweet nothing except breathing and taking up some space. No income, no expenditure... Swell. Literally. I got my wisdom teeth extracted last week and now I have a swollen face. Oh, and new semester is starting very soon. Talk about perfect timing..

Last semester results are out. Can't say I'm not satisfied (actually very thankful that I didn't fail my Accounts paper), but once again Donald surpassed me. How DO you do it, dude? Oh well, congrats!! This new semester I vow to work my big, fat ass off...

If you are reading this, you probably already know that I'm resuming my blogging after such a LOOOONNNNGG absence. Gomen dasai to Cindy who keep checking my blog and arigatou for keeping my taggie alive. I promise to keep blogging now. If I stop without a good reason, you are allowed to beat me next time we meet.. (Hehehe.. thank goodness, you are so far away..)

Hope you like the new blogskin...
