pardon me for my 'lemau-ness' in updating my blog..was busy for the past few days with project meetings and preparing for my essay..so glad that i finished my agency planning essay..one big burden lifted off me..spent the whole afternoon just now in front of my laptop completing it.. as much as i wanna relax now, i have to do the tabulation for my research method survey findings..haiz and i hafta go school for a project meeting on SUNDAY morning!! who the hell goes to sch on a sunday?? its supposed to be my lazy day.. furthermore, the car's not available on sunday..cos if i drive, at least i need not wake up so early.. well i just wanna get the presentation over n done with on mon..

i was asked to relief a class for mendaki tmr morning at my old centre..no tuition in the afternoon so i shall use that time to do the readings for my therapeutic writing essay..lucky its a 1000 word essay, so its nt so bad la..eventho that one is due in 2 wks time, i jus wanna quickly settle all my assignments so that i can start my revision..less than a month to exams!

met up with ain n kisha yest for dinner..been quite some time since we hung out..too bad that minah SQ cant join..busy as always with her work! wahaha after dinner, we sat at mc donalds for some milkshakes..i love the strawberry milkshake!! tastes like ripple ice-cream..hehe vanilla is not bad either..

lastly, hhmmm..i miss dearie!

had two hrs of lect just now..went to school earlier to zap some readings for my agency planning essay..most probably i'll start doing it tmr..if im done sorting out all the points la

met up with dearie at westmall after school..now, we're hanging out more at westmall..unlike in the past, we're always at town! i think if orchard rd can talk ah, it will say " asyik muka korang dua je..jelak seh!" wahaha the main reason y we prefer westmall now is bcos its very convenient esp if im fr sch n he's fr work..that's also the nearest place with a cinema other than empress at clementi..anw, we watched 'hills have eyes' jus now..it was quite gd i must say, but definitely not for the faint-hearted..due to the gore and bloody scenes..

after the movie, we had our dinner at delifrance bistro cafe..i had my usual tuna sandwich meal while dearie ate beef bolognese pasta..well everything is on me today, from the movie to dinner.. haha once in a while, i dun mind giving him a treat..coincidentally, its our one and a half yr anniversary today :-)

yest, of coz, was shopping day with my jambu gerl, dinah..hehe the funny thing is that i didnt shop that much..only got myself two tops..everytime i plan to shop like crazy ah, it always didnt turn out to be so crazy after all..wahaha mebbi im just an impulse buyer..or mebbi i had dearie's words at the back of my head? cos he told me to curb on my spending habits and save my money..well i am starting to save money..some more with the govt's prog package, im more encouraged to save..hehe

guess i'll stop here for now..till my next entry.

i havent been doin anything much lately..eversince i handed in one of my assignments last thur, i've been slacking..haha i'll start off with my another 10pg essay dis coming monday..such a dread!

on a much lighter and less stressful note, im goin on a shopping spree with dinah tmr.. actually i dont exactly know what to buy..its just that i just got my allowance n tuition pay..so tangan ni gatal nak spend..wahaha furthermore, i havent been shopping for quite some time..i know i wanna get new clothes and my make-up essentials

oh yah, i had a really bad dream last night..so bad that i woke up crying..it was the worst feeling ever!! that happened around 4am..msged dearie after i woke up from that dream..things didnt get any better when he didnt reply me promptly..he was on his night shift duty actually, but i think he was taking a nap at that moment..i felt so relieved when he replied at abt 5plus in the early morning..told him abt the dream and he comforted me and told me to continue with my sleep..everything in the dream felt so real, dats y i was sorta traumatised by it..

eventhough ppl say that mimpi tu adalah permainan tidur, the dream which i had was no toy stuff at all..most of the times, my dreams are not logical and very merepek..so when i suddenly get such tragic dream, i felt really affected..haiz pls, no more such dreams.. mimpi lah pasal exam questions ke, who my future husband will be ke..dat will be much better seh

being thin is not a sin.

i think now is the time for me to express how i feel about this issue..something which im often associated with.

since young, my body has always been bony..i have to say its genetics, cos i inherited it from my mother..saw her photos when she was around my age and she WAS stick thin!

i have been called names before and am still getting them today..'cicak kobeng', 'kudut', 'kuding', 'popeye's wife (olive)' are some of the titles which i am being presented with..honestly, it hurts. but now, i learnt to let it pass off as a joke..i realise that there's no point feeling sore about it when there are many other things to worry about

i feel that all those people who have an issue with my body are equally insecure about theirs..at least i dont have to worry about having my jeans or pants stuck at my thigh area before they can reach my waist..i can eat all i want and still have no problem with finding the perfect fit when shopping for my clothes..

it took quite a while for me to change the way i view this issue..i used to take it too heart when people comment about my thinness and it affected my confidence..i know im not suffering from any eating disorders cos i eat a lot..well that depends on my mood actually, but i know i dont starve myself or binge on my food and force them out of my system.

the reason why i brought this topic up was because yesterday, as i was on my way home with sheeks, her younger sis smsed her saying that she gained 2kg..and she was so happy about it..then sheeks told me that her sister is about my height, which is around 1.65m but she weighs only 39kg..her sis complained saying that her friends in school called her anorexic..thats why when she found out she gained weight, she was on top of the world.

can you imagine being called anorexic when you're not suffering from one? furthermore, it has such a negative connotation..a growing teenager's self-esteem can be instantly brought down with such labelling.. i don't know what is wrong with kids and teenagers nowadays calling people names..i mean its not so bad if they gossip among their friends..even i do that at times! but to directly give a label to someone regarding a sensitive issue is morally wrong..

at the end of the day, its all about educating these kids..n parents play the most major role in this..from young, these kids need to be instilled with good moral values..in the future, if i see such things happening in the school which im posted to, i will make sure the culprit(s) will be dealt with evenly..dont mess around with miss mariana, i tell u..

moral of the story is, don't hurt your body.. accept it the way it is, be it fat or thin..even if you want to change the way it looks, don't force yourself.. always do things in MODERATION.

ok, now that i've got these off my chest, i feel liberated..wahaha

im meeting dearie later for an early dinner..met him yest also to eat at pizza hut..i told him so long already we never eat there..im like craving for the pizza! haha then today we havent decide where to have our dinner..

he's having a two-day course over at SIM..that's y we can just meet up at clementi..as mentioned, he'll be bz over the next few weeks, so i guess he's making up for it by meeting me on two consecutive days..haha

wanted to blog yest but dunno y, i wasnt able to access my blog for the whole day of yest..haiz now i cant exactly recall wat im gonna blog abt..lost my train of thoughts..

anyhoos, having tuition ltr on..actually i was thinking of goin to challenger now to get a new optical mouse for my laptop..but looking at the warm weather, i changed my mind..wahaha dis kind of weather will stay for the next few days according to the weather reports..due to the post-monsoon season from dunno which sea..haha see la, mebbi i'll head to challenger tonight if im nt lazy..

yest, i spent my day finishing up one of my essays n my part on a group presentation..so it was quite a productive day la..so today, hopefully i can start on my 3000 words essay which is due on thurs..once dat is completed, i can breathe a bit..a bit only, then its back to essays n grp report b4 my exams start

unlike last semester, i dun really haf high hopes for dis semester's exams la.. makin nak graduate, makin takde motivation seh..can i jus graduate without doin assignments and taking the exams??wahaha..lame qn i noe..hopefully i'll change my mindset abt dat..only way dats gonna happen is if i get motivating grades for my assignments..only then im more driven to study harder for the exams..haha

oh yah, speaking of graduation, i got my commencement aka graduation ceremony letter already..if things go well, i'll get to wear the graduation gown n the mortar dis coming july! so excited seh..now im in the midst of ordering the graduation gown..i think i shld just purchase it, rather than renting cos the price diff is only abt $10...then if i buy, i can keep it for life..in the future, kalau tgh boring2 ke, bole pakai then posing depan mirror..relive those moments.. muahaha

i asked dearie if he wanted to come to my commencement..he said he'd love to but the thot of meeting my parents there made him change his mind..wahaha penakut seh..as if my dad gonna eat him up..he said he scared ltr my dad ask biler nak masok meminang.. aper sajelah dier tu.. i think ah, my dad also dun want to marry me off so soon seh.. haha

oh yah, b4 i forget, if u guys think of watching dorm, dun bother..its a waste of money seh..dearie spent $25 on the movie tixs cos he wanted to try the sofa seats..the only thing worth is the quality time spent with him, all cuddled up la..wahhaa other than dat, the movie was quite disappointing actually

i guess i shall stop here for now..haf a gd weekend k peeps!

busy, busy, busy..

i was quite occupied for the past few days...i just finished collated my survey results for one of my projects..was quite pissed with my other group members coz we agreed to upload the survey findings on the yahoo group by last night..until today, only me n hani had uploaded..n we thot we were the slackers among our group members..i worked my ass off to get people to do the survey last sun when i was told to upload everything by MONDAY NIGHT..which explains y i skipped lect on monday just to finish up the collation..n hani informed me that the rest only managed to get ard 5-6ppl each for the survey when the required number was 20!! i punyelah peng!! tu ah, ambitious sgt kan..nak sampai 20 ppl each..ahh, ambik korang! even our lecturer said our sample size is quite big for a small-scale project..watever it is, i know i've done my part.

met up with dearie last sun..he msged me early in the morning asking if i wanna go out and use the car if its available..i wasnt planning to go out bcos die2 i had to complete for the stupid surveys and also i had tuition dat afternoon..but since my dad nt using the car, i thot y not make gd use of the opportunity..hehe but i told him to come dwn to tamp la if he wanna catch a movie, then i'll send him back..which he did..we caught shaggy dog, it was quite ok la..then we drove to west coast park to get some food fr the mc donald's drive thru..first time seh i bought food fr the drive thru..haha n we ate in the car..after which i drove him back home

once i reached home, continued with my work since i had project meeting the next day..only slept ard 3am i think

on mon, met up with dinah after my project meeting..miss her seh..at last, we managed to squeeze some time to meet up..had dinner at BK and we talked a lot abt stuffs..haha mainly we talked abt our bfs la..n i can so relate to her on dat...its like we share n gif each other suggestions on how to improve our r/s..so dat was cool..then walked ard at CS where we both kene kacau by dis grp of mats..i swear as we walked past them, i heard one of them saying "wah..jambu sey" wahaha so i told dinah that they kacau-ing her..she replied, "nolah, dia org kacau u la.." so i told her, nvm la we just share that title.period. kwang3

im back after a few days of hiatus..well i promised to update my blog if there's more spice in my life remember?muahaha

well, for starters, i got back with nasz.. after two weeks of consideration and much discussion with my gfs, i finally reached that decision

met up wif him just now since i need to get my cd-rom fr him..actually my plan was to meet him and talk abt us..so, i headed to the coffeebean at westmall earlier to do my essay which is due tmr..he reached there ard 4pm..it was an awkward moment for us at first..haha luckily, i haf my laptop to distract myself a bit..then while he was fiddling with the photoshop prog, he started to bring up the topic abt us..

well im sure he was anxious to know wat me n my gfs discussed yest abt me n him..as i was doing the story-telling, he didnt maintain any eye-contact..he was busy meddling with the laptop, or mebbi he's just pretending nt to pay much attn..haha cos i noe, he was actually listening intently

most of the time at coffeebean, i did most of the talking..so i was getting quite worried when he didnt reciprocate wat i've said..so in my heart i was saying "eh, dier ni dpt ke tak dat im hinting dat i wanna get back together?"wahaha..then wen we were abt to leave CB to head to the movie theatre (was supposed to go back to sch for a lect, but i skipped it..haha), i said to him "B..can help me take some seviettes?".....figured out my blunder? i called him 'B' which was short for baby, when we're no longer a couple..n of coz, he spotted that..he purposely asked me to repeat wat i just said..hehe

after we're comfortably seated at the cinema, he asked for my hands..nt ask my hands for marriage la..haha he only wanted to hold my hands of coz..dats wen he said "let's get back together." only then i heaved a huge sigh of relief..after all that hinting, he finally get wat im driving at..so yah, just to share with u guys on dat..hehe

on a different note altogether, i've finished my first essay assignment..nthg to be happy abt though, cos the last time i checked, i still have five more essays to do..haiz

p/s: dear, u teased me, saying "wahh, confirm u'll write abt today in ur blog rite?" so there u go..everything in full details..dun blush while reading it k :-)
