Sleeeeepy!

November 29, 2006 at 11:32 pm (college, marketing, psychology)

I’m sooooo tired, and I still have quite a lot of work to do.

I just finished my extra credit Marketing Principles assignment to design a series of ads. I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard for 5% before. I chose to do ads on the Apple Macbook because Apple’s ads are always very minimalistic, very simple, and very clean, which meant that my Photoshop work was kept to a minimum, heh heh. I’m quite proud of them lah :) I did one ad for users, one ad for buyers and influencers, one ad for gatekeepers, and one ad for deciders. So onz. It’s actually the same ad, but with different taglines. Heh heh.

I’m stuck on my Reflective Writing assignment for Psychology now. Reflect on some feeling or behavior that has been conditioned in you or someone else. I can’t seem to think of anything. Bleh. I still have 5 more reflective writing questions to do (3 for extra credit), and I have 2 PDS critiques to write as well. It’s supposed to be only 1, but I’m doing 2 for extra credit as well. I need all the points I can get!

Very the sleepy.

Not to forget the 1000-word critical review for Moral Studies as well. Maybe I can just use the same article I did for Malaysian Studies last year. Bah. LAN is such a waste of time. Good side is that the barring list will be finalised this week, which means that I don’t have to rot in class anymore from next week onwards, hooray :D

Alrights, bed time.

Yes, maybe :P

Heh Heh Heh

November 27, 2006 at 11:04 pm (Football, college, marketing, outing)

I think the highlight of yesterday was when Jun Wei asked me “So, is David Beckham playing?” during the MU-Chelsea match last night. Seriously. Hahahahahaha. Thank God he didn’t stay (see Jun Wei, I put stay and not sleep!) over last night because I definitely wouldn’t have been able to survive in college if he did. It was bad enough surviving on 4 hours of sleep, I don’t want to imagine how the day would be if I had to survive with no sleep!

I’m very the bored. Waiting for Grey’s Anatomy to finish downloading because I’m in desperate need of my Grey’s Anatomy fix! :) Few more minutes to go, hooray!

I skipped my Marketing tutorial again this week. Aishath told me that there were only TWO people in the class today. So very the pathetic, hahahaha! I don’t know lah, I find it a waste of time since we don’t actually learn anything, and all we do when we go there is sit down, pretend to be listening, and nod our heads occasionally. Not cool, not cool.

OH SHIT, I forgot to call Ezra back.

It Ends Tonight

November 25, 2006 at 4:16 pm (culture, food, outing)

Spent the whooooole afternoon yesterday at Araville. It was very onz :) Min Huei and I cooked Maggie Mee Asam Laksa! And Josh, no food poisoning right, right, right? Heh heh heh! Apparently it’s Min Huei’s specialty.

We were going to Hartamas from Bangsar and you know that road where you turn under the flyover, and pass KLGCC on your left? Yeah, that’s how you get to Hartamas from Bangsar lah right? Except I was kinda a bit distracted in the car lah, so I wasn’t watching the road, and this Sam goes straight instead of turning and says “So we take the Penchala Link now is it?” Tsk tsk tsk.

Okay so whatevs, we (Sam, Josh, Min Huei and I) got to Hartamas in one piece (Hooray! :P Thanks for driving, Sam!) and lepaked at Hartamas Square. It’s been so long since I’ve been to Hartamas lah, it felt so very different. The last time I was at Hartamas, the new funky lights in front of SODA were still under construction, and the back room place at Breakers wasn’t there yet. So very the outdated :(

I learned a few new things yesterday.

1. Apparently it’s culture to go to someone’s house, wash all their dishes, and scrub their sink.
2. I should not attempt to sulk when walking up steps or slippery areas because that would lead to me tripping over a step and almost falling down. I’m such a klutz, I tell you.
3. When the label on the Bailey’s bottle says “Best taste before May 2000″, don’t open the bottle.

Sam, Min Huei, Josh, Stella, Julian and James came over to my house last night. Didn’t do anything much, just hung around. Stella, Julian and James stayed until about 5.30? 6.00? Something like that lah. They went for dim sum after that, but I went straight to bed. Very the sleepy. Couldn’t even keep up with the conversation because my brain was feeling very fuzzy, and there was nothing to eat. I should’ve slept more in the afternoon, hmph. I only slept for like what, 5 minutes? :( The stove still isn’t working, and there was no more Maggie Hot Cup Noodles. In the end, I ended up eating a box of cherry tomatoes. I think I have a new addiction now, yummmm. They’re quite addictive.

I realised that I never reply SMSes from the “Stupid Biscuit with Paedo Qualities”. But now everytime I hear that “It Ends Tonight” song, I think of him. Bugger. And don’t you turn that paedo thing round on me, at least Josh is TECHNICALLY only 6 months younger than me, you 15 YEAR OLD GIRL PERSON THING! Nyeheheheheh >:)

I’M SO VERY HUNGRY BUT I CANNOT EAT BECAUSE THE DAMN STOVE DOESN’T WORK AND I HAVE EATEN EVERYTHING ELSE THAT DOESN’T NEED TO BE COOKED.

Actually I can just drive somewhere to eat, but that would require me getting up from this chair, taking a shower, getting dressed, and thinking of a place to go.

… don’t need lah :P

PS: Min Huei, your hair was damn onz. And thank you for trusting me with the scissors, even though I didn’t end up cutting anything.

So Very The Lazy

November 23, 2006 at 12:15 am (college, food, pets, technology)

I’ve been very the lazy to blog lah.

College days are so, so, so, so busy. And I’m always so, so, so, so sleepy when I get home.

Zehan told me that they were selling batik cake at KPD today. Dammit. I was too lazy to go. I love batik cake. Zehan also said that Ah Soh’s (a.k.a Chin Chin) batik cake is better though so maybe I didn’t miss much. I have the batik cake recipe. I should really try to make it one day. Maybe tomorrow night because (a) I don’t have class on Friday and (b) I need something to keep me happy while I spend my weekend in Melaka.

Google is down. I can’t seem to access it, so I’m using Yahoo. I feel like a search engine whore. I’m loyal to my Google, okay. I love Google. I only use Google. My main e-mail is Gmail. I feel all guilty now that I’m forced to use Yahoo. Not that there’s anything wrong with Yahoo because I love Yahoo horoscopes.

I’ve been eating like mad lately. Like seriously. I’m just hungry all the damn time. Let’s see what I had today. Actually I also cannot remember, but I remember I was chomping through nuggets and slurping down ice cream like there was no tomorrow in LAN class. Chomp, chomp, chomp, slurp, slurp, slurp. I think I finished everything in record time – and was still hungry, so I came home and had two quite big steaks, one California roll and a lot of those little sushi thingies from Cold Storage, BSC. I think I had McDs for breakfast. And I went to Mama’s Kitchen for a huge, huge lunch. I think it’s PMS. It’s either that, or I’m pregnant, but that’s highly unlikely unless I’m one of Min Huei’s banana slugs. Hahahahahhahaha.

I crack myself up.

My cat is damn cute. When she hears my parents’ room door opening, she runs and hides behind the door. Then when she thinks it’s safe again, she comes running out and jumps on my bed. Very the comel lah

Melbourne University

November 20, 2006 at 6:15 pm (melbourne, university)

After Josh (By the way, don’t worry about your driving test! I’m sure a lot of excellent drivers fail the first time anyway *squish*) left this evening, I promptly fell asleep, and I was sleeping very nicely until Wai Yen from IDP called me at about 6PM.

I GOT FREAKING ACCEPTED INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE!

… BUT since it’s only a conditional offer since I haven’t finished my foundation program yet, there are a few conditions I need to meet.

1. I need to get an 80% overall grade for my entire foundation year.
2. I need a HD for both Marketing and Psychology this semester.
3. 6.0 band for my IELTS, I think.

You know, those conditions are QUITE VERY THE IMPOSSIBLE but still, hahahaha. Don’t tell Ching Yi I said that because she’s still over the moon about the fact that we get to live together next year

Physically Channeling Emotions

November 19, 2006 at 12:22 am (college, outing, psychology, shopping)

Four and a half hours of Psychology today. On a Saturday. A very beautiful Saturday, might I add. I think I lasted 3 hours, before walking out of the classroom and never going back. I CANNOT TAHAN LAH! My attention span is very short, and Psychology is so very the boring. Min Huei, Lesley and I played “Continue the Story” and “Hangman” during class. We ended up making a story about a pink rabbit, the HMC Student Council, and an Indah Water sewer. Oh, randomness.

Met Sam for brunch at Ricebowl. Talked, talked, talked, talked, talked. After eating (quite a lot) of chicken rice, I was still hungry. Went to Dunkin Donuts. Ate two donuts all by myself. Talked talked talked talked talked. Went to BSC with my Mom this afternoon to teman her while she bought god knows how many pairs of shoes. Managed to be conned into buying chocolate chip cookies by two little girls. Also bought new perfume from The Body Shop. Was going to buy a new bikini, but I got too lazy to walk to RHB to withdraw money since my feet were starting to ache.

From there, Zehan picked me up and we went to Telawi. Shopped around Gossips and Cats Whiskers, bought a couple of things, blah blah blah. Went to One Utama to meet Mar (SAYA SAYANG MAR!) for dinner and more shopping! I missed Mar lah, we need to do this more often :( We story-storyed each other in Italiannies. Oh, so very the funny. I miss talking to my girls like that. Pooooh!

Came back at about 10.30ish? Meh. Soooo tired.

Casino Royale

November 17, 2006 at 5:39 pm (emoness, movie, outing, university)

I haven’t been blogging in awhile simply because I think I have nothing to say.

Yesterday was fun :) I watched Casino Royale with Josh last night. It was quite a bad movie. I don’t know, I just don’t like Daniel Craig as James Bond, and I thought the movie had no plot, no storyline, no sense of direction o_O One minute it was all action and kicking and fighting, then the next it suddenly became a love story. So very the potongs! The best bit about the movie was the opening credits thingamajigger. The animation was very cool, heh heh. And I’m not sure who the Bond chick in this movie was supposed to be exactly, but I found them all annoying. Pah!

I was in MABECS (or whatever the hell it’s called) today looking through UK universities with my Mom. It was depressing. I’ve already gotten used to the idea that you know, I’m leaving soon, but I guess I felt a bit out of control. I’ve always made my own decisions, and I never let anyone else make my decisions for me … except I don’t know, maybe I’m just tired of arguing over it so I’m letting my Mom choose for me … which is very bad because I’m the one who’s going to live with it for the rest of my life. I just can’t bring myself to talk about it to anyone else either because I’m just too exhausted to fight about it anymore.

Be My Penguin?

November 13, 2006 at 9:48 pm (rambling, university)

I’ve typed two other entries out so far and erased both of them. One was about trust issues, one was about tight-rope walkers, and well, this is the third I guess. Let’s hope this one will last because my fingers are tired and I’m just really lazy to type.

I have no idea what I’m going to do next year. I have no idea what I want to do. I have no idea where I’m going. All I know is that I’m going away. I wish it could say it was 100% my decision, but it really isn’t. It’s maybe, I don’t know, 65% my decision? It’s a bit surprising how me, of all people, is letting someone else make my decisions for me. The decision is still bothering me – Australia? UK? Gah. I’m running out of time.

How do you want to live life?

I’m the type of person who at least tries to live life to the fullest. I don’t believe in regrets. I don’t believe in looking back and questioning your decisions. I believe in just doing what you want to do, don’t think, don’t feel, don’t judge. Just do. Life’s too short to constantly question whether what you’re doing is right or not. Life’s too short to ponder the pros and cons of every decision you make. Life’s too short for regrets. If you’re going to do something, do it 100%. 110% even. Don’t give yourself the chance to look back later on and say “Hey, hang on, what if I did this differently?” Make your decisions, and stick by them.

When You’re Bored

November 12, 2006 at 2:03 am (nonsense)

Okay, so I’m like, completely, utterly, extremely bored.

So ta-da, here’s Mellissa’s list for things you should do when you’re extremely, going-out-of-your-mind bored!

1. Go read what’s the latest gossip on Oh No They Didn’t! which is normally very entertaining. Except now everyone’s talking about how Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are getting divorced. Blah blah blah. I’m damn happy for her though, she deserves much better.

2. Read my horoscope on Yahoo! Astrology. Ironically, my horoscope for the day says that: Celebrity gossip is a great way to waste time, but it won’t stimulate your mind. Darn, there goes #1 …

3. Put on happy music and start dancing around, drawing curious looks from my three cats, heh heh. Happy music defined: music that makes you feel good and makes you feel like getting up and boogie-ing. Example? Nelly Furtado – Promiscuous. Black Eyed Peas – My Humps. Beyonce – Ring The Alarm. Definitely classic happy music examples *boogies*

4. Find my cousin’s girlfriend’s sister’s best friend’s grandmother’s uncle’s gardener on Friendster. Friendster is quite amusing when you find (a) 12 year olds with two-inch-thick make up to laugh at (b) hot guys to drool at (c) PpL hU tYpE lyKe DIS!!!1111. Alright, maybe (c) is not as amusing as (a) and (b), but it still kills time when you try to decipher what the fuck they’re saying, right?

5. Wax and pluck every single stray hair. Pros: Saves time and money from going to a place like Strip to get waxed. Cons: It’s very mafan, and I normally just like to leave these things up to the professionals because I’m too lazy lah. Heh heh. Waxing is not painful, contrary to popular belief! Now if you’re talking about a Brazilian or bikini wax, then that’s a different story lah …

6. Think of ways to terrify your parents. Like getting your navel pierced. Getting a tattoo that says “Livin La Vida Loca”. Dying your hair bright green. Running away with the circus. Shaving your head and changing your name to Bob. Random things like that. I think my parents are too conditioned with my quirky ways already. When I suggest random things like me moving out to live in a cave with my cat (Butterscotch), and then dying alone, they just go “Mmmm” and nod their heads. Darn.

7. Sing “Gold Digger” by Kanye West with a Japanese accent.

8. Convince Sam to just watch the damn porn he received as a present.

9. If you’re a guy, change your MSN Messenger nickname to “I’m such a lady but I’m dancing like a ho!” Message random people and ask them what they think of it. When they start laughing at you, proceed to get really pissed off, throw a hissy fit, storm offline and/or block them. Come back online 2 minutes later and beg for their forgiveness. Repeat.

10. Make your own things to do when you’re bored list.
