And you guys said I was smart?!

Wait till you hear / see this! XD

Yesterday, we had some spare time to burn at the club before race started so we played a lil' volleyball by the poolside.

So as we were playing, the guys said that I was being too timid, rather they used lazy, for not going after the ball when it went slightly 'out of my course'. In my defense, I said 'I don't wanna end up falling into the pool or risk tripping over the stairs!'

So I guess they were trying to teach me how "One should go after the ball" when it all happened... See the illustration below:

The blue part is the swimming pool,
the brown background is where we were playing.
The fella 'on' the water is nonetheless, Mr Seu.
And the other fella, me.

There was another guy but I got lazy after drawing my second stick figure so,
all you see is all u get. Do rely on your own imagination.

The funny looking yellow color thing is, the volleyball and its path.

So what happened was, our very dearest Seu here, decided to dash for the ball. Without first looking at where he was already standing. And the next thing was *a moment of silence as we watch him falling into the pool* followed by.... SPLOOOOSH!

The best part has yet to come I tell you. After laughing our heads off, and when he finally got out of the pool, he said: Ah shit, my phone.

So apparently, his was not the only one who went diving lah.

Moral of the story, we are all very smart human beings, aren't we all? XD

Psych Talk, Part II

Freud...
Defense mechanisms, I like.

Dear Ai Li.

Please confirm that you a sailing with me in Langkawi and Pang Nga, for Kings Cup we are full crew , but a consolation is maybe on the way.

Best regards

Niels

Decisions, me no like. Hmmm *sob*.

`````

Handed up two assignments yesterday, plus an ERB. Next up, Know Yourself.

Self consolation. Nvmd, long break next week, am off from Tues onwards till the following weekend. Even racing's canceled for Sunday!

I will be on a self prescribed "drama overdose" over the holidays.

Selamat be-earlied Hari Raya peeps!

Psych Talk.

I super cannot remember the reason behind my title. But, who cares lah. It was something I came up with during class, which probably explains it all.

Personality theory & Conflict theory and resolution <-- I don't even know if I got the subject titles correct cause I usually just go, 207 ah? Or 210 is it..? But anyway... Sounds more pro mah stating the whole thing out. XD

Okay so I was saying, subjects this semester are all so close with one another in terms of the similarity of the content we're studying that up until today, I am still blur about which chapter from which subject are we at. Seriously. Not only that, assignments all also I kelam kabut. =/

Haihs... Quitstudyingmarryrichmansuanlebah!!!
>.<

I think hor, my personality 'encourages' me to get into conflicts one loh. Like for instance, I like to cari pasal for no reasons one, sometimes lah. Maybe it's the id, I am a hedonist after all. But wtffff! (meant to be said with a long drag) Who isn't?! Righttt?!

So I think it is a good thing that I am taking both the subjects in the same semester. I study my personality, then I blame it on my traits, then produce reasons to behave like I usually do, then get myself into all sorts of conflicts, then find ways to resolve them! Applying what I learn in classroom!

Fulamakkkk, fulfils the study outcome weih! Sorry, I SS today. -_-

```

I am a sucker for two words in particular, "Free" and "Sales". Definitely two of my major weaknesses. *shakes head in dismay*

````

I loveeeeeee chick flicks! Never fails to brighten up my day, or for the matter, make my day even brighter, even if it's already night. XD. I is in SS mood today lah, can't help it. Just watched Another Cinderella Story, it's now saved in my pink WD hard drive, come come, we watch again together!! XD

This was the best I could get with Google.
>.<

`````

I have just got in my possession Season I and II of Grey's Anatomy, the complete first Season of Private Practice, the complete Samurai Girl mini series, and Death Race. Too muccccch lah, too muccccch to handle!!!!!! Ish, I <3.

p/s : * laughs* Omg, so funny kan?! Inside joke inside joke, but still, not known to many. XD

Yesterday, I hardcore.. XD

I went futsal with the boys and Ivy in the morning, then went and play volley in the park with Seu at 2.freaking.pm!

Now I got a very ugly and painful toe. So much so for trying 'to be smart'. Went and played volleyball with slippers. I hope my toe nail doesn't "fall out".

I asked the mom today to 'bring me go buy sandals because I kenot wear shoes to sail tomorrow, please.'
After showing her my toe and after her going,'Yerrr...'
She said, 'Why you so smart? Wear slippers to play. I think your nail's gonna fall out'. (or something along those lines)
I said, '...must be the genes'.

Then I attempted to ask the father, 'Hey dy, I now have a very ugly and painful toe, can bring me go buy sandals?'
'Where?'
'Bata!'
'...I stomach ache lah.'

-_________-

Looks like I won't be getting my sandals. =(

Lesson of the day : Wear shoes when you wanna play volleyball.

Current playlist: ABBA's & Paramore! XD

The cutest mom contest.

Kevin, what do you have?!

Simply because we're a bunch of kids (well, at least I am lah) with nothing better to do other than the shitloads of assignments & ERB's which can be oh-so-not-fun!

Damn ERB's. Yay cutest mom contest!

"What to do?!" 's

What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do? What to do?!

Alternatively,

So how?

XD

I love suprises!

...don't you? :)

Earlier today while I was driving, the dad called.

Dad : Girl, I need you to do me a favor. Are you at home now?

The girl : I am 2 minutes away from home. Why.
(notice it's a fullstop after the 'why'. Explanation: I was reluctant to run errands for anyone at that moment)

Dad : I need the number for the DELL distributor in Mid Valley. Are you at your computer now?

The girl : No. Call me back in 5 minutes...

Dad : O K.

5 mins later...

Dad : Girl, no need already, I got the number already.

The girl : ....

Later at night, the dad called to ask if there was still leftovers from dinner. There wasn't.

Dad : Girl, any food left?

The girl : No, no more, finished edi.

Dad : Aiyor, means need to eat before coming back.

The girl : ......

Dad : I bought you someeething.

The girl : ..... !!!!!

Hehe..... Don't you just love surprises too?! :)

* Actually, my dad calls me, ai. So kindly replace the "girl"s with "ai"s.

Because and simply because.

WTF!!!! I f*cking forgot the tutorial sign ups just now!! WTF!!!!!
If it was because I had no Internet connection or what, okay lah.
BUT...
I was freaking blogging my ass off here!
WTF lah WTF.
Slap me can?
=|

So people have been asking if I am OK. Truth is, I am not. More accurately so, was not.

I'm fine, now. Thank you for the concern!

'Less motivating events' like what took place the past few days, in more than one way, made me introspect (if that is even the right word).

Self reflection, simply put. It's not easy to admit ones flaws and it's lagi not easy when ones flaw(s) is being displayed and spoken about openly. It is hard when you are asked to do a lot things when you can't seem to find enough time for yourself. It is upsetting when things don't turn out the way we want them to. It is heart breaking when you find out that things aren't the way they were meant to be.

We get hurt, we get annoyed, we get upset, we feel betrayed, we let ourselves down, sometimes. But we'll learn and eventually we become better people.

That is life.

So, ...haha.
I bet I sounded 'philosophical'. =P

Considering MSN isn't allowing me to sign in,
I figure I'll spend more time here today.

I typed 'the curve flea market' in my Google search bar just now and come upon this. It was posted long ago, like last year, but it sure got me all excited about spending my Sunday(s) in The Curve.

As I recall it, the last time I spent time in that flea market, I didn't quite enjoy it. To me, it was just... moderate so-so lah. But I've been hearing so much news about it lately, so much so that I want to go visit it a.s.a.p!!

Next week, after club series, I WILL BE GOING! I hope. *fingers crossed*

I've mentioned a couple of times, particularly lately, that I need to get myself a job. So that I can earn some money for my travelling expenses, accommodation, party tickets, etc when I go for events overseas and to allow me to shop without feeling so guilty that I am wasting my parents money.

My perspective: Work hard edi, it's more justifiable to spend a bit of it lah.

Anyway, yeah. And I actually mean it this time lah! -_-

I cooked dinner for myself!! Not gonna tell you what I cooked but I'll tell you this, IT WAS PRETTY TASTY, and no, it was not burnt AT ALL.

A new 'what to do when bored' idea. I shall call it 'Names and messages'. =)

Mandy,
Thank you in advance for kindly offering to help me with 202! I owe you big time. BF on me tomorrow.

Smurfy,
The Snicker cookies were awesome but I haven't forgiven you for not getting me a koala bear.

Mom just said: Next Tuesday dinner out.
I asked: What's the occasion?
She said: 4 TICKETS TO WATCH MAMMA MIA!!!!!!!!!!

*

Don't you wish you had my mom?!
(This is primarily because she has been reading my bloggie lately, so kena lah mengampu sikit, and I know she can't read small fonts!)

I had no intentions of talking about academic issues today, but how to not talk about what happened in uni when I practically spent my entire day in uni minus the 3 hours spent in Mc D?!

Well, we finally realized that 202 isn't as easy as we had perceived it to be. Stupid "umbrella-tree branch-family tree-whatever"! Nvmd. 210 on the other hand is getting interesting, my personal opinion. Did I not mention that I was lost in the second half of 202 lecture that I sent the mom a message saying:

"Class just ended and I think I'm better off selling bananas on the street."

Her reply:
"Yeah, please do! ...... "

-____________-

Oh well, at least that made me laugh.

See the purple checkered dress on the bottom right?! Hehe, I have that exact same one in orange. =)

Probably will wear that to uni tomorrow.

I hate

being used by others. Totally.

I don't care if it's a friend, a good friend, my brother(s), parents, or whoever for the matter. I just hate it when people use you. Gdi.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sigh. ( I know I've already used this as a title previously)

But I don't really care.

It's one of those times whereby I feel like sighing. Not that anything bad has happened, it's just, haih~

Yea well.

Like Sharon said, "I thought we get Tues and Wed offs... but we still end up meeting up for assignments".

I.dislike.assignments. Period.

* I think wearing futsal shoes makes futsal more enjoyable.

I found my pink hard drive. Dad said "It is cheap what!!" when I told him about it over the phone. Pink, 160G, RM219. So I guess I'll get him to buy it for me.

...On second thoughts, I'll just buy it myself.

I think pool is fun. I wanna play more often, I think girls who can play pool are yengggg.

I got home, checked my Gmail and it never fails to amaze me what type of mails are waiting for me. I especially hate it when it's bad news. Not that I had any bad-news-emails today but you get my point lah hah.

I've got tonnes of things to complete tomorrow. Actually by tonight even. But I have got absolutely no mood. No mood! No mood weih. I am doomed.

Ai Li, enough negative energy.

Okay, so, I was saying. Continuous assessment marks for Moral is out. And it is crap. I meant my score. I actually think I deserve better scores. Usually, I feel content with what I get (even if it's a C) because it reflects the amount of effort I put in, but this time, I honestly think I deserve better. Haihs. Wtf.

Honestly, today is one of the good days, nothing bad in particlar happened. I just feel, moodless. I can't say lifeless cause I've got many things to do, I just don't wanna do anything.

I've just lost the mood to rant any further, can u believe it?

House said.

Dr House said: Hope is for sissy's.
...on an episode yesterday.

I think, hope keeps most people alive.

Couldn't help but post a lil something before racing today. Have a good day yeah? Ciao.

Messed.

...that was referring to my thoughts right now.

It happens on a daily basis now. Everyday, every single day, I've got more than one thing to handle, it's from anything to everything, and no, I do not enjoy it.

I once enjoyed the prospect of having responsibilities 'bestowed' onto me as I used to see it as a sign of maturity. A good thing. A positive sign.

But now, I am not so sure anymore. Some things, yes, I enjoy doing them, upon achieving them, I have this sense of accomplishment which makes me happy and sometimes, proud even. Some things on the other hand, I just don't enjoy.

I hate it when people say one thing and do another. I hate it when something was agreed upon and changed without my acknowledgment. I hate it when people make plans without informing the people involved and then say: "I thought I told you." *with a very innocent face*

One word. Intolerable.

I like attention. As most of my friends would already know. But I hate it when I get the attention for the wrong reasons, like say perhaps, when one walks into class late and everyone stares at you. That's not the attention I want.

*my mom just busted my credit card bills which I have been trying to hide* *oh oo*

Anyway, coming back to what I was saying. I like attention. The good type of attention. Once I get a certain amount of a certain good type of attention, I either would demand for more of it or I would settle for whatever steady amount I can get. But if the amount fluctuates, I get mad. Like literally.

Little amounts of the unwanted attention is still, acceptable. But when I get a huge load of the unwanted type of attention, I freak out and I get scared and I avoid.

So sometimes, I don't really know what is it that I want. Which is the exact same issue I have with this post.

Aiyah, let's just see it as me letting out some sore feelings a.k.a complaints lah.

This is such a cute photo, which leads me to hope for..

...a better day tomorrow.

I can reassure you,

that the frequency of updates is gonna start picking up again.

Last semester was relaxing, in a way. And probably because of that, I kinda jinxed it. This semester just started, today; and I am already feeling the need to do well.

Yes, I am desperate to get better results.
No wait, I desperately need to get better results.

And I honestly better be doing just that.

I initially had the intention to cover the race,

~because Mike and Kevin did not do justice to it in their respective blogs,
probably because they both had a very long 20-hour cruise,
both had their phones soaked with sea water and,
both had to fight over blankets~

but on second thoughts, a few pictures will have to do the job.

My ang moh crews (minus Seu lah). Sophie kinda sorta became my crew because another crew of mine only arrived after the race ended.

And I can't exactly blame him for "being late" as he had his fair share of frustration during his 25-hour cruise up to Pangkor. *wakkakakakaa* Man, I am evil.

The original crew I was supposed to be sailing with.
Names from L-R, clockwise: Seu, Thorsten, Yao, & Sing Kwan.

Mata Hari's full crew with the Pangkor Laut Trophy at the prize giving and 5-star dinner on Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut.

The boys, by that I actually meant guys. Horny and Kevin, this one is for you two! Hope you guys had fun despite all the negative 'occurrences'. :)

This one is here because.. I like it.

That's all for Merdeka Race 2008. Tutup tirai.

There...

me in Pangkor with my new hair cut.

Exact location: Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut.

=)

Time for the new semester people!!
