Celebrated Wai Kru today. This will be my last Wai Kru as a student and I became so used to it that it didn't bother me so much. I think I was touched by the ceremony held today. Finally, after 5 years it began to make sense, the bowing, walking on knees, etc. When I was giving that 'thank you' speech, suddenly I realized that nothing around me is permanent. Afterall, change is the only permanent thing. Eventually things and people will have to move on. I've been waiting for this semester since the first day I entered college. Now that I'm here, I'm not sure if I have the courage to move on. It's not easy, not easy...

Called my parents today. Such a relief to be able to talk to them again for almost an hour. It's good to throw some of my tantrum on them 'coz no matter how grown up I am, they always pamper me as if I'm still their premature, innocent Baby. Oh ya, that's my parent's given nickname though.

It's nice to become my parents' baby every now and then, 'coz I feel a sense of belonging and I can freely think that I always have a place in their heart. Among my siblings I can say that I'm the most demanding one. Mitch, my 1st younger brother is totally the opposite of me. He doesn't even act like me -- who always wants my parent's attention. He's simply a down to earth guy, likes to earn his own pocket money. My 2nd brother -- Ander, he is oh so much like me in a way that we both like to depend on our parents a lot. We like to give commands to mom & dad as to what they should do for us. My sister Micelle is somehow similar with Mitch. She's always the 'maid' when all of us are home. Pitty her but I don't know why she doesn't mind. She's so unlike me, kena suruh sikit, waaaa...will take years for me to move! I hope I can show maturity the next time I go home. :wink:

I wish I could cut like one of this hair styles:

The thing is, people say I suck with short hair. The only person who says I glow with short hair is Ropoy. He even directed me to several websites so that I can take a look at several fashions and styles before I make up my mind. But, cutting my hair short is always a nightmare!

I want to laugh! :laugh:

Funniest Puns

A basketball player and a jockey just robbed the bank. Police are looking high and low.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

Local Area Network in Australia: the LAN down under.

A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.

If you don't pay your exorcist you get repossessed.

A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.

Every calendar's days are numbered.

My average sleep is 4 hours/day. Thus, I'm so worn out right now. My eye bags are getting bigger and bigger while my eyes are getting smaller and smaller. My eye sight has worsened since I've never put my glasses on and contact lens is a bad solution since I'm allergic to it. I dunno whether it's migrain that I'm suffering sometimes since it's hard to detect between headache and that, just like when I thought I'm suffering from a gastric attack when it's just a slight measurable pms pain. Right now I'm in a position to saying "enough" of studying. Two more months to go, I hope I don't go blind and yes...I need to wear my glasses again to avoid blinking my eyes as if there's striking sunlight in the dark!

For a change rather than my wit complains, let me show you the places I love going in Bangkok:

4. UFO at Mahboonkrong

Roy and I usually shop for clothes here.

5. Neo Haircut

Roy and I use to come here to fix our hair. Lots of unsexy ladies but mannn..they're professionals. The cost is reasonable too! It's just across MBK. If you take the overhead bridge on the 2nd floor of MBK, walk straight and go down until you reach the ground floor and search for Neo. It's next to a CyberGame center.

6. The Market Place

This place is romantic. It's romantic in a way that it gives you a different feel once you're in this area. It's a good place to sit and chat.

7. U Smile Dental Clinic

Sukhumvit 71. Opposite Soi 37 which leads to Ekamai School or the teacher's apartment. The doctors are great!

These are the major places I go. Opps! I'm late for the party. Well, will blog again! :wink:

Oooouch! What to do? I have to teach tomorrow and I'm so nervous!!! I hate teaching peers especially if it's a surprise for them. I have to help Dr. Paul teach Philosophy class for two weeks since he's not going to be around. All the readings and stuff...eeeh!

Wanna wish someone a very happy birthday today. She's one of the coolest friend among the friends I have. Ehek! Ba, don celebrate with ikan masin only ba kawan....go have fun der Kee-kee! Hahah! Happy Birthday!

I had a pleasant weekend. At least it pays off after a stressful week. I know my close friends in Bkk also experience the same stressful week and we enjoyed our weekend! The spending paid off when we watched a comedy and cheeky sweet movie--White Chicks. I was laughing my corn out!! :lol: It's really worth watching, especially after you've worked your bones out of something! :wink:

Coming back to MC horrifies me a lot. A take home test given by a teacher seemed to take forever for me to finish. Oklah, better do it now or never.

I'm close to insanity. I have too much reading until it makes me hate it so much! It's as though a burden upon you that you must carry and digest! That is why I dislike the courses that I'm taking this sem. Too much!

I think 98% of my journal entries are filled with complains ya? Gracious me, wake up and grow up!

Chatted with Swizz today. Managed to talk about almost everything from sky to mud...to her puppies which bore 8 but half of it died. Oh, and met Eta in Yahoo msgr too! She as well, feeding cats and dogs while home alone.

Mom, who finally replied my sms, suggested that we meet up in Bukit Jalil if she and my brother are really going for that 'I-dunno-what' meeting. Still so long la Ma... No going home looks like. Mom is saving so that she can go to ** with her honey. I wish I can tag along inside their luggage! :cry:

Which is considered expensive if you're using DTAC? SMS or call? Well, to me SMS is expensive: 1 SMS = 3 Baht. If you waste the 3 baht on call, you can speed up whatever you want to say and hang up! I'm contemplating on this matter 'coz I just bought a B200 refill and now it's almost gone to just SMSes alone. It's all because of my dad. He keeps on sending messages and expect me to reply his million n tons of questions. At the same time I have difficulty understanding what he meant and he has difficulty in understanding me, and it prolongs the sms!!!

Just now was my 10th time of asking my dad: "Do you want me home in Dec?" For 5 times he replied with different questions regarding the M.Ed program without answering my question, and for 4 times he was asking me  regarding my plans in the future. Finally just now when I put a lot of exclamation mark asking "YOU WANT ME TO GO HOME KA IN DEC???!!!!!!!" Then he replied :"Balik lah. At least mummy have friend. Buy your ticket earlier". I think the next sms I will send to him will go like this:" I pokai oredi. Can u book n PAY d tickets for me???" :wink:

Sports still goin' on even though it's raining out there. Nah...seen my face in the field? No. Actually I really want to cheer for my team, but the spirit seems to be not there. This weekend is the last day and also the climax of our Intramuriel (is it how it is spelt?) sport's day. I was not there when they had it last year, and maybe I'll be absent might as well this day. Eee, I sound a lot like Arundhati Roy already. Maybe influenced by her writing. If you want somehow escape to India, read her book, again I'm promoting. Then after reading her book, watch Indian movie. I still have one by Sharuk Khan that is pending for now. Argggh...when can I finish my assignments!!!

I was again cleaning just now. Mopping my floor when my roommate just did it during the weekend. Ehek!

Due to request from friends, here are some captured moments during G&G's wedding. :)

I've been doing lots and lots of reading since last week. On my way back to MC from Bkk, I almost read half of The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Some say her writing is messy and confusing. However, her style of writing to me seems to reflect how most Asian writers write. I'm attracted to the originality of thoughts, language and names. I will try my best to finish reading this book and give my overall opinion 'bout it.

I think I must've been too obsessed with cleaning. I almost want to clean everything I see, that is with dirt, mess, etc. As far as I know, I don't like touching yucky stuff like the hole of a sink, the toilet bowl, the fungi or algae on the bathroom wall and all but whenever I see it dirty, I just wanna clean it eventhough I have to touch it with my bare hands. Eeeeeh! I hate cleaning and I just can't stop cleaning. Why can't people clean things for me everyday? Or why can't I stop cleaning everyday as if I own the bathroom to myself?!

Yeah, it's 2:06am Friday morning and I'm still wide awake. I have 2 tests tomorrow and no time to study in between, horrible feeling I'm having right now... and I don't wanna write about it!

Wah, it's 1:56am right now. My room still smells Indian incense...hehe...actually my suitemate, my floormate and I just finished watching Bollywood movie entitled: Kyun!Ho Gaya Na... syok la but too long!!!

Oh ya, thanks Jr for the recommendation. I will make sure I drink milk so that my bones won't easily rapuh as I get "younger".

Thank you Julie for lending me AF CD no.3. I've watched so many re-runs of this concert but I still wanna watch. :)

Cool rules. We can gain credits eventhough we miss worship through accepting duty. Sounds like 'dharma' eh!

I have to admit, I dislike all my courses this semester. It makes me become a book slave or somewhat! The courses force me to stay in the library from 7:30pm-10pm most of the nights and as if I go there to study, excuse me! I just can't study because the material searching for example to compose one Asian Lit. paper takes almost forever and I think it's not fair as in the other subjects are sitting there waiting for their turns! Anyway, I really hope I have learned how to learn.

 

Whoa...I think I'm suffering from chronic shoulder & neck pain oh! I have problem turning my neck, I have problem swinging my right arm, what else? Oh, and I have problem finding a sinsang...

This semester is really scary. I have lots and lots of work to do and it's just the third week of the semester. I dunno how I can manage with a lot of readings.

Haiya, sayang this Nikki was voted out oh kan? Well, she stands a big chance to become a Sabahan diva soon...

 

I was in Bangkok today and a lady asked me how much does a small glass of soft drink cost at Aunty Annie's, and I told her it's 35B. Then she asked again pointing towards DQ how much does a drink cost in DQ, and I said it's 22B for a small glass. Well, she probably misheard me for she thought in DQ it was 12B and she slowly went to the counter to order for a drink that she thought cost 12B. Then the lady at the counter said it's 22B for a small size glass. Then she looked at me and said "22B?" I replied "yes". She then went away disappointed. It happened that I was there to buy a drink myself because I was so thirsty. So I bought myself a drink in DQ. When I was about to pay, I remembered the lady. In my mind I was saying "why didn't I thought of it earlier, why didn't I buy the lady a drink just now?" I paid and left the counter. I went to search for this lady all around Siam Centre's ground floor. She was no way to be found. Ooooh! I really felt bad!!! It was a lesson for me not to just take people for granted especially strangers and treat them as strangers. I should practice what I've learned yesterday in Sabbath School - Brothers and sisters in Faith. Eventhough the lady was a stranger to me, I should show WWJD.

The dentist took off my stiches today. I felt much better. Next appointment will be next month because the flesh is still recovering. :)

Happy Sabbath everyone.

Loneliness is a feeling of emptiness or hollowness inside you. You feel isolated or separated from the world, cut off from those you would like to have contact with. There are different kinds of loneliness and different degrees of loneliness. You might experience loneliness as a vague feeling that something is not right, a kind of minor emptiness. Or you might feel loneliness as a very intense deprivation and deep pain. One type of loneliness might be related to missing a specific individual because they have died or because they are so far away. Another type might be involve feeling alone and out of contact with people because you are actually physically isolated from people like you might be if you work alone on the night shift or are off alone in a part of a building where people seldom go. You might even feel emotionally isolated when you are surrounded by people but are having difficulty reaching out to them.

How to deal with it?

Recognize the lonely feelings and express them.

• 
  
  Become more active.


• 
  
  Get involved in activities.


• 
  
  Get a girlfriend or a boyfriend. :lol:

I guess there are a lot of lonely people in this world. What I should really do is to acknowledge these people instead of ignoring them. Involve them in what-so-ever you can find themselves helpful and learn to talk and listen to them. Not just 'kesian' them and say 'eee, so kesian oh him/her tiada kawan' and walk away doing nothing. Also, I should show them sincerely that I'm interested in what they have in mind and bring them to join me whenever I'm with other friends. Being excluded is really a strange and horrible feeling. However, sometimes I just don't mind being lonely...:smile:

No, it's not mumps! When will the swell disappear, pleaseeeeeee! Some people thought I was stung by insects or somethin'. No, it's not. And Junior, it's not mumps, no no! :lol:

Watched "Magic Kitchen", a chinese movie...one of the F4s was in. Yeah, I might hate some of their songs, but I still like their hairs, Ken Chu and Jerry Yan...They remind me of my chinese admirers before! :lol:

Can't help but talked about AF2 again with Laura and this time we turned on the speakers way up loud and listened to their songs. Was a nice chat!

What's wrong with DTAC's *1000? I can't top up my phone for 2 days already and my dad was furious why Roy and I didn't reply his sms. Haiya...

Roy told me he went to the bank and stared at the guy who helped him process the draft. Definitely it was the bank's fault, they didn't looked at the draft and verified Roy's signature properly. My mom was right about the draft, impossible it can't be issued and cleared! Next time I'll make sure to give the guy 10 bank drafts to be cleared in a day, kotoh!

Sad to know that I have to cancel one of our vacation date this Dec. *sigh*

I'm carrying a swollen face. My swollen face. Yesterday it was not that bad, but today it's getting worse. This morning I can't even open my mouth to brush my teeth and I can't open my mouth to welcome spoons & forks. Tedson said I looked like a chipmunk! Laura said I looked cute and asked me to enlarge my right cheek as well. Whatever it is, I know I will not be beautiful for a week or two. Haha! As if (I'm all that pretty)!!! :evil:

Haiya, how come the bank gives me a lot of problem! How come a bankdraft be bounce? As far as I know, it's cheque that can bounce, that's why we have "bounce cheque". But what is this bounce draft??? My parents were half as mad as me now. What am I suppose to tell the urging finance???

I still cannot tahan seeing my face in da mirror...'coz I look too pretty! :wink:

Got my tooth extracted today - wisdom tooth. I was not ready for the extraction. In fact I didn't want to extract it until it's a year old. And I thought today the doctor will do pin and crown treatment. When Elsh and I reached the dentist, the first thing they told me was that they can't do anything with my other tooth before extracting this tiny wisdom tooth. So I agreed after asking tons of questions about pain. Yeah, the injection was a lil' painful but then after taking pain killers and my gums went numb, the rest was history. Actually it was a surgery extraction 'coz they even gave me several stiches that are to be removed next Sunday. This time it's a guy doctor - tooth extraction specialist. I prayed so hard and asked God to hold my hands. I was really scared and no one was in the room to comfort me except Him. This doctor is really gentle, really really gentle in handling my tooth. My childhood phobia about dentist disappeared after this experience. Although the fee is quite high, I'll no doubt make this dentist as my 1st choice whenever I have teeth problems! :wink:

Here again in college, reading reports and other assignments waiting...

Hello. I'm blogging again. I've been quite busy chasing administrators and lecturers this week. Hope I will learn to slow down as the semester unfolds. Extremely there are lots of new faces this semester which adds more spices into the already 'rich-flavored' MC. It makes me happy for a moment, thinking that I won't have the chance to experience this kind of excitement once I leave college.
