I am at a stage in my life where I am feeling happy. College has been, well, meh, things with Wazir are great, the family's okay... I know I haven't been updating, but really, I haven't been in the mood to blog at all. So many times I opened this page and stared at the blank, white box, but nothing came out.

This week was pretty good.

Jolene phoned me yesterday from Bristol, Yew Sun a few days ago from Manchester, and Joanne last week from New York. I saw Yen on Friday and we had a good talk. Trish and Marlyn invited me for a sleepover last night, but I didn't go. [I had some work to finish. It's was just one of those things where you want to go, but you know you shouldn't. :( Next time, girls, okay? It's my final semester and I need to get serious.] It's great when old friends keep in touch. I feel loved. <3

I got my hair cut yesterday. This is, however, not a brilliant picture. I look so white and pasty because of the flash.



Today Mum and I went to this nail spa to get supplies from this woman and I got to practice doing a manicure on one of her customers. Unpaid, but good experience anyways. Got lots of supplies, which cost a bomb. But looking at them make me happy. My toolbox is incredibly full now. :)

I got tagged by Shan a couple of weeks ago, so here it is ::

Current annoyance :: Nothing really, except that it's Monday tomorrow. :/

I tag the following people :: Lazy la.. Well, anyone. Do it if you're bored and you want to. :)

Really, what was the point of that meme anyway??? Lol.

Oh yea, it's Kah Ming's birthday today, and Yew Sun's tomorrow. Hop over to Sun's and show him some love. :)

It's only the end of my 2nd week back at Cenfad and already I'm sleeping 4-5 hours a day. To some of you that may seem like a lot, and to some it may seem like very little; but I think it's too little. I come home everyday feeling so exhausted. Plus, it's been raining heavily all week -- imagine the massive traffic getting out of KL in the evenings!

This morning I had Dickie's class. I was half awake, and his lecture made me even more sleepy. Classes which involve a lot of talking really should not be scheduled for early mornings. Meh.

Anyway got a pleasant surprise during my break -- went to the cafe and heard someone call out my name. I admit that at first glance I didn't recognize them, but that's because of my tiredness, really. It was Yee Teng and Iphin; juniors from Cempaka. It's kind of funny seeing Cempakan juniors -- really, I lost contact with most Cempakans after I left that school. But it was nice to see them. :) Now I'm not the only ex-Cempakan on Cenfad campus. :D

I've got quite a lot of work for this weekend -- have to document my site analysis and make a model of my site. Got a headstart last night on the analysis as I have to take it to the shop to print by Saturday afternoon, as shops are closed on Sunday.

I'll be going to my dad's this weekend. Hope everyone has a good weekend. :)

Yeah, so I'm not really one to celebrate the overly commercialized Valentine's Day or anything, but to those of you who do, have a great day. ;)

I have no plans for today, apart from dinner with my dad. Wazir and I will go out another day.

I love you dear.

There seems to be a great deal of fireworks and lion dances happening at Mont'Kiara these few days. I suppose it's to mark the end of this Chinese New Year. Happy Chap Goh Mei, you guys.

I tried to take a few pictures but I've got shaky hands. :(


This was last night at the Plaza.


Err. Yeah. This is a very warped-looking Desa Sri Hartamas, because I couldn't keep my hands steady. :P

I just realized something. As hard as I try each semester, I never seem to get more than a B- for my Design Studio class. I've taken this class 3 semesters at Cenfad and my grade has always been a B- or a C+. For most of my classes, the grades increased slightly each semester, seeing as I probably made a few improvements. But this one is always stagnant. It's sickening.

But yea, design is difficult. Design is so subjective. If I can't do well at such a small college like Cenfad, imagine if I were studying somewhere else. Gosh. The thought of it is overwhelming.

A talk with Wazir today made me realize why I can't seem to do well for this class. I can't visualize crap. Sure, I can sketch; I can draw. But only if the object is directly in front of me. I can't visualize what an object looks like; without having to think real hard. I can't drive well because I can't seem to visualize and remember roads. I've been to the chiropracter like approximately 10 times and I couldn't direct Wazir there today.

Dammit.
