monday blues...

dragged my ass to school today..it was so tempting to just skip the two hr lecture just now..but what the heck, there's nthg much to do at home anyway

and the weather was so warm..clever me wore a dark coloured tudung..i could feel my head absorbing the heat..got a slight headache when i reached home..so just imagine, scorching hot weather, tired me plus an empty stomach..those pretty much summed up my bluey monday.

no tuition for me today..my student went to malacca for a family-related matter..so i just slack at home today..well nt really slack la..i studied a bit for my test n did the sample test qns..barely got the first 25 qns rite, so i stopped doing it..haha dats depressing enuf.. i just realised i got some concepts wrong..when i studied for it, i thot i got everything all figured out, until i did the test qns..lucky i found out my mistake before the test..gotta do well for the test cos dis module is non-examinable..so the grades im getting for those two tests will determine if i pass or fail the module at the end of the semester..

anw i told my dad i wanna buy a car..haha i noe, wat a thing to say when i barely have enough savings..hehe here's how the topic started:

dad: nanti kalau dah keje, jgn luper every mth kasi ayah $500, ibu $500..
me: wah duh..kasi $200 je bole? alah, org nak save duit ah..nak beli benda
dad: nak beli ape lagi..watever u wanted, ayah dah belikan ape
me: ehh, bedek seh..ade benda yg org nak, ayah tak belikan
dad: nak beli ape? kereta?
me: a ah la..
dad: nak beli kereta kene ade at least $10K utk downpayment tau..if tak bayar dwnpayment, teruk nanti kene bayar bulan2
me: org tau la..sebab tu nak kene save $
dad: proton ade model baru tau
me: tau..proton savvy kan? cute eh kereta dia..
dad: tapi malaysian made..org tgk pon tak pandang dua kali..
me: ler, asalkan bole bergerak dah bagus tu..
dad: kalau gitu, beli kereta lembu pon bole..(dats where i got my sarcastic nature fr..my own dad! haha)
me: kereta lembu tak leh jln kat road..
dad: nak beli kereta, beli yg 'baik' nye sikit ah
me: suzuki swift hatchback ok?
dad: ahh..tu ok
me: tapi mahal seh, around $55K
dad: of coz ah..japanese-made cars mmg mahal..in terms of quality, its better
me: hmm..tgk la eh mcm mane

so now, at least my dad knows that i intend to get a car..and im glad he supported my decision..mane tau, kalau nasib baik, he wanna sponsor me the downpayment..haha but then, takde satisfaction ah if like that..i wanna pay for the car myself..with my own titik peluh..cehh, like real only..haha

and anw, i noe my dad wasnt serious abt the 500 bucks per mth tu..he ckp je, nanti biler org nak kasi betul2, he said no need..i noe my dad so well..haha

well tmr morning, i need to go down to MOE to sign some documents..then in the afternoon, need to go to sch for a project meeting..n there's an optional lecture also tmr..nt sure if i shld attend it..c how la my mood tmr..mebbi i shld drive tmr since my dad wont be using the car.. hehe

anw i chatted with nasz on msn just now..seriously, we havent been chatting on msn for so long.. only now, we got the chance to do dat again, like the old times..its always a nice feeling to be doing smth which u havent been doin for quite some time..i prefer the way things r betw us now.. i think now is a gd time to review whatever that has happened..hopefully we'll learn from those mistakes and be a better being in the future..insya'allah.

haiz..i dread writing this entry..cos its no gd news that im gonna share here..but i guess its part of parcel of life we have to deal with

i broke up with my bf.. a tough decison for me but i gotta do it..maybe for now, circumstances dont allow us to carry on with the relationship..i dont push the bame on him since he did try his best to fulfil my needs.. like i've said in the 'makin menjadi gerls' blog, we ended our relationship on a mutual basis...i still regard him as someone special in my life..insya'allah, once things are cleared and under control, i'd love to get back together with him..if nobody else crosses our paths la

anyway, he shared with me a piece of gd news just now..he got a place in spore poly to further his studies..im so happy for him..wish him all the best in his undertakings!

n i watched the fog just now..watched it alone and the movie scare the hell out of me man! the superb sound effects made me terkejut quite a few times..hehe last mon, watched jarhead..dat one was pretty gd..lets see wat other movies i plan to watch in the weeks to come: brokeback mountain, final destination 3, munich, rumour has it...im sure there's some more but just cant recall them now..hehe

klah..gtg now..hopefully i'll start off the next entry with some gd news instead :-)

then i was walking ard arab st to look for some tudung..when the makcik saw me carrying the x-ray film, she asked "adik sakit ape dik?" saje je tanyer org gitu..then i told her its for my pre-employment medical check-up blah3..makcik buat gelak ah!

anw im meeting my dearie tmr..mcm dah lama seh tak jumpa! rindu banget sih..haha the last time i met him was last week on mon..well we gonna watch pink panther tmr..wanted to watch jarhead..the fog..brokeback mountain..wahh! there's so many gd shows now!! nt worth to do a movie marathon tmr considering its $9.50..haiz

and next week is my term break..like wat ain said, "baru start skola, dah term break." dats wat i thot also..haha but its no holiday-time-to enjoy2 for me..i need to start doing my readings for my modules..

a ring by Tiffany & Co. its gorgeous isnt?? got one big bling bling some more..if only it could be mine..haha went to their website, hoping to find out the price..but to no avail..at least if i roughly know the price, i can start saving up from now..i doubt i wanna go to the store at ngee ann city to ask for the price..for the moment, all these boutiques kinda intimidate me..wait till i start work and prolly earn a few thousands, then can go into such boutiques to ask for the price..haha

a hectic weekend indeed..

last weekend, i told myself that i was gonna study for my test which is on this thurs..did a lot of other things but that..haiz here's a quick low-down of my weekend activities

fri: had make up lect in the morning..met non ard 3 plus to watch memoirs of a geisha, which was great! im still wondering y they used 'eel' to describe a penis..crap sia anw, walked ard tamp mall n century sq for gift hunting..by the time i reached hm, i was too tired to do anything

sat: had tuition in the afternoon..yes, i've started tutoring one of my ex-mendaki students..thank god she comes over to my hse for tuition..at least i dun waste time getting ready n travelling to her place..

after tuition, i quickly got ready to go to non's cousin's chalet..kisha picked me n ain up and headed to costa sands chalet..it was also a farewell gathering for our dear non, who left for melbourne just now..definitely gonna miss her!! anw the chalet was great, lotsa ppl, lotsa food..me, ain n kisha ended up overnighting there..it was really impromptu..cos the initial plan was to leave the chalet ard 2am since kisha drove..in the end, we all felt so lazy to go back since we're comfortably lepak-ing on the bed..can u imagine, overnighting at the chalet w/o any spare clothings, make-up cleanser, toothbrush/paste, etc..

me n non stayed up till early morning talking abt lots of things..ain n kisha were soundly asleep.. woke them up ard 6am to get ready to head back home cos ain had smth to attend to..i was definitely suffering fr sleep deprivation!

sun: i thot of compensating my lack of sleep by sleeping thru the whole afternoon..but that didnt happen..cos my mom told me that my cousin wanted to give us a lunch treat that day..so i only managed to sleep for like 2 hrs!! i was like a zombie seh..mata stone jer during lunch..hehe after that, we walked around for a while n reached home ard 4pm..

well my day didnt end there..a fren of mine msged me asking if i was free that evening..n i actually went out again! halfway thru the outing then i felt how lethargic i was..haha thank god i managed to keep my eyes open..dearie told me to stay at home instead cos im going out with him the next day, n he's concerned that i'll be too tired.. wat happens when im tired? i get grouchy n cranky easily..then he said, "kalau besok time kluar u penat, then u bad mood, jaga eh.."haha anw, wen i got home, i prepared my clothes for sch n went straight to sleep

n today(mon), met up with dearie after lecture..we went to watch north country at cineleisure n walked ard town before heading hm..got to spend longer time with him today, so that was good! as mentioned, non went back to melbourne today too..didnt get to send her off though due to sch.. nevertheless, i wished her all the best in pursuing her studies there..insyaallah, if permissible, i'll see her there in june..who wants to follow me go melbourne?.....

met up with dearie jus now for a late lunch at westmall before heading to sch for my evening lecture..thot of watching a movie, but upon looking at the queue, we changed our minds..which is why we prefer booking our movie tixs online..the only con abt it is the booking fee of coz

our date jus now was short, yet i enjoyed every seconds of it..simply bcos i havent seen him in abt one week..and the last time we met up, smth unpleasant happened..which made him merajok and totally shut me off dat whole wk..so yah, dats y i had mixed feelings meeting him just now..like got butterflies in my stomach..haha

but im glad things were back to normal just now..there's a pt of time where i just kept quiet and listened to him talk..observing him in silence, there's actually a lot running thru my mind..well mebbi he didnt notice me doing that

wateva it is, just wanna tell him how sorry i was for causing him so much pain..cant promise that i'll not hurt his feelings anymore in the future but dat doesnt stop me from trying..i learnt that i've got to make sacrifices once in a while..a perfectionist me doesnt guarantee a perfect relationship

to my dearie, i love u loads baby! *muacks*
