(hai hai hai hai! wa--n-hu-i-sa-n)
here's the lazy bum blogging finaaaaalllyy...
ハア！ハア！ (reads ha-a! ha-a!)
and i'll insert some japanese vocab here and there for you to pick up!
FINALLY on the last day of last week.. started my first (hajime) driving lesson. all i can say is.. i'm going to become one of those "kae-u" women drivers.. can't control the oil properly.. keep forgetting about the clutch.. keep forgetting to look into the rearview mirror.. gosh. わたし くるま お うんてんする わるいですよ！ （wa-ta-shi ku-ru-ma o u-n-te-n-su-ru wa-ru-i-de-su-yo!) {translate: i car drive bad, yo!}
i've been baking.. and baking.. (lots of huat kueh). Been trying out funny coconnations.. haha.. pandan.. orange.. vanilla.. almond.. i have these 4 flavors.. and MIXED ones.. haha.. they look good and from what i hear from my aunt. this 4th batch that i baked today is great! unique yet acceptable, sweet and nice to smell, good texture. YAY! :) i'm in love with baking.. and blueberry muffins golden brown outside and purplish inside! and chocolate chip cookies.. and i'm thinking of making fruit buns next.. haha..
i'm sorry i didnt bring those baked goods and cusines (ryori) back to hall as i promised those still having exams.. blame my bottomless-stomach cousins! once i finally finish baking a batch of 20.. i'm usually left with only 10. 'cos they will ask "ah qi jie jie! i take one, okie?"(ahqi-neesan, hitotsu totde iidesuka?) how can i say no (iie)? then my aunts. and uncles. and mum and dad.. and granny and grandad.. haha.. in a swoosh. one each. and 16 gone. then by the nxt morning.. the rest settles in their stomach. i can't believe they havent gotten sick of it yet. haha.. and my cousin are waking me up everyday (maenichi) to bake. they love to stir and add things to the dough.. smell it.. stare at the oven.. hear the "ting!" of the oven..
baking is so funny when i do it with my cousins. i guess i miss being aneesan (elder sister), being their refuge from their parents. tonight (konban) 2 of my cousin will be sleeping over in my room. :) they are so much a part of my life i think thats why hostel will never feel like home without them and the noise they bring.
been reading too! love reading to sleep and reading on the car, the train, in the toliet, before training.. and i love the book.. not another chic lit i'm glad to say.. it's "the unbearable lightness of being".. indepth of living.
makes me want to ask everyone is happy light or heavy? burdens are heavy, right? so are we truly happy when we feel light and freed from burdens?
gosh.. i could go on and on and on.. a really clever book that makes you think about your life.. makes you cherish it.
talk bout cherishing life.. i'm still in the mids of watching ichi reita no namida... 1 litre of tears. cried 500l.. haha.. if i were a flower, now i would be a bud. i will cherish the days of my youth.. extracted from it. HUI! and did you know that i nearly bought the japanese novel ichi reita no namida?! only till just did i realise that its the same story.. makes me want to buy the book more.. even if it'll take me a dictionary and one month to finish it! no translated version! in japanese! haha.. from kino.. so ahhh... if you want to get me to help you in something.. haha.. you know how to thank me! ;p

okay okay.. i should be posting something up.
well recap.
the day before the doomsday -- the WAH (western art history) exam..
well anyway.. though i was cursing van gogh the way through cos i really hated writing essays..worse so if i had to research before i can even squeeze a hundreds words out of the painting..
but the more i read about him, themore i wanted to read.. a sweet sensitive guy, in his heart and with his brush.. with such intelligence with philosophy.. close to his siblings and cherished what nature gave and he's interest in the bible.. what else was he but a man to fall in love with?!
heck with those "ancient people" who deemed his intelligence as crazy and those who deemed his sensitivity as weakness.. just look at his paintings! one that really intrigued me..
Starry Night (note. this is a link to the picture.)
it was a painting of his internal turmoil when he was in the aylsum. and in his peaceful beautiful blue night-scape, he brought out chaos, terror and utter despair.. who else could put all that mess of feelings into one single painting? no one i could think of.
it was amazing, the feeling i got from the painting. it was like an actual experience. you know, like very-humane.. one never only feels sadness and sadness alone. there's always this paradox in the way we feel. (like when parents look at their kids, they feel irritated by their mischief yet happy cos they are the reason of their lives.) i guess i can never describe that feeling with my limited english.. you've just got to breathe that painting in yourself.
ok.. so nxt.
hokkaido homestay.
did i mention about it before? in 6 weeks time. i'll be off and flying to sapporo, hokkaido, japan to be hosted by a lovely senior couple, shin-san and kuniko-san! and they've just replied my mail that was in horrible japanese. haha.. there. a chance to put my japanese to use and to practice. haha.. when, ahwan is in this too. she's hosted by another family. we'll be going on our own tour for 3 days after the homestay. really looking forward to it.
oh and. this is utterly IMPT!
suhui! when are your exams ending? because the MV production is due to start as-soon-as-exams-are-over! hui's gotten herself a handy dandy video camera! and thats gonna be our baby for the production! :) so all production members. stand-by for this time. we really should get started! :)
okie.. i'm gonna get back to my quiz-doing obsession and sims2 obsession and as soon as i get my ass down to borders again.. my reading obsession.. so i wont be on that eating-obsession.. haha..
if i'm not cutting that waistline.. i better not increase it.LOL... ¶ 7:18 PM 0 Comments

You're looking for a Best Friend
There are many different ways to look at relationships, but for you, finding a best friend, the one person you share everything with, is the most important. Some people focus more on the romantic image of a soul mate to last the span of time, but you probably prefer the reality of making the most of every moment of every day. And who better to live those moments with than someone who's true blue through and through?The ideal match for you is probably someone who can anticipate the next word out of your mouth and who laughs at the punch line before you even tell it. Chances are it's important to you that they'd expand your circle of friends, introduce you to new places, faces, and experiences, too. Whether this relationship is here for the short- or the long- term, you're a take-it-as-it-comes kind of person, with few expectations or fairytales to live up to. You'd take your constant companion and trusted secret-keeper over a fairy princess or Prince Charming, any day. Whether you realize it or not, there's someone out there who feels the same way about you. Like you, that someone is looking for the one person to be their best friend — both in the bedroom and out.
What Are You Looking for in a Relationship?

| Your Love Life Secrets Are |
 Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves. You've been deeply wounded in the past, and you're still recovering from that hurt. You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky. In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm. Getting over a break-up doesn't take long. Easy come, easy go. |
did this while i was ransacking my brain on how to present my work.. yes. minisize me.
Joan's ambitious SQ..
(thats what she calls me)
has just disappointed her. so she decided to show her dissapointment through my grades.
Joan's my foundation drawing prof. today's grading day and she reviewed my "works", which i agree that it wasnt the best in the world, but i didnt expect her to say she expected somemore from me. i mean. i am serious.. quite bad. now i'm just alright, isnt that an improvement?
learnt my lesson. dont let anyone do have any expectations of you, then they'll be content with your work.
anyway i got a B- for fdn drawing.. i have a bad feeling for the rest of the fdn classes. gosh. i better start praying.. really hoping for a 3.5 GPA this time round..
lord please.. bless me.
