A Truly 'I Did Absolutely Nothing' Weekend

Yes, even today I did pretty much nothing lol.


Went to church in the morning as usual. Then after service had a 'family meeting' after so long. It was nice la. But then waited and waited and waited in the courtyard for all my clown friends. And it turns out they all decided not to come to church today :s There flew all my plans for lunch. And Joash finally decided to come home and rest today. Good for him. He can get better now.


So went to Brickfields with mom and sis to get our saree blouses done for dad's consecration in October. Yup, we plan way ahead, we Selvarajs. Or at least, mom does. I asked her this morning over breakfast if I should give the shop the material for a Punjabi suit that I've been hanging on to for quite some time now cause well, we haven't gone to make saree blouses since Christmas. And you know what she said? That it would depend which I'm going to be wearing to dad's consecration. In October.


I couldn't help but laugh when I asked her if she wanted me to decide what to wear to dad's consecration right then. And she in all seriousness told me that yeah, I probably should. LOL It's in October. 


Speaking of which, how scary. I'm soon going to be known as the Assistant Bishop's daughter. As if being the Dean's daughter wasn't scary enough, right? Oh well.


After the saree blouse thing, just had lunch with mom and sis in Brickfields. Going to Brickfields always makes me feel so Indian. Getting saree blouses sewn, lunch at Seetharam. The only downside was that I barely understood what the saree-blouse-lady was saying to me when I chose the design for my saree blouse. Kept turning to mom to ask what she was saying. Like such a dumbass.


Ah yes, since we're on the topic of mom. People in my family seem to have developed this annoying habit of telling me important information when I'm sitting in my room with my earphones on. They don't seem to understand that I listen to my music and watch my shows at a very high volume to block out their voices. And here's the weird part. They don't even stop at the door to give me the information. They just walk past my room, not even looking at me, talking as they go. How I know they're talking to me? :s And they don't even wait for me to give some verbal or non-verbal indication that I've heard them. I think it's some kind of experiment they're conducting :s No wonder la mom thinks I'm rude lol. If she thinks I can hear her that means all this while whenever she says something to me, I just completely ignore her. LOL I wonder how on earth I've gotten away with it for so long.


So yeah, this morning I saw sis taking out sarees all and I was wondering what on earth she was doing. So I asked her and she was like, "I told you last night what." And obviously I said she didn't. And you know what she said? 


"Oh I don't know if you heard me lah."


LOL then why didn't she check for some reaction from me? A nod, a gesture telling her to shut up cause I was watching Friends, something. But no, I didn't even know she had opened her mouth. My family are clowns la.


Only Joash knows how to tell me something when I have my earphones on. He'll come into my room, wave his fingers two inches away from my face, indicate that I should take off my earphones even when I tell him I'm not playing any music and can hear him perfectly fine with the earphones on. But no, he doesn't take that for an answer and waits until my earphones are off before telling me what he needs to say. That's how you gotta do it, familia!


So I've been watching ABDC season six performances since I got home from lunch. Yup, all afternoon. I miss watching 787 crew, they were so awesome. Every single performance had my jaw on the floor. And Daniel Torres is just so adorable despite the red and green hair. Anyway I found this fairly recent performance where they were qualifying for Hip Hop International 2011, I think. It's not as awesome as their ABDC performances and the quality ain't great. But hey, it's 787 and they're awesome so yeah :D

And on that note, I am off for the day.


Oh by the way, remember that Loss Models online exam that I was so happy the deadline got extended for? I just saw Puven, this really smart guy from my batch at UTAR post on his Facebook that it was a disaster. If it was a disaster for him, I really should just throw in the towel now. Die.

A Nice, Relaxing Saturday

I feel like I barely did anything today. But I still have so much to blog about :)


So woke up this morning, did chores as usual, then prepared to do nothing for the rest of the day. And do nothing I did. So first of all I thought I'd catch up with my favourite crew from America's Best Dance Crew season 6, namely 787 crew. They're this awesome dance crew from Puerto Rico and now they're at this competition at Las Vegas called Hip Hop International. And today they got through to the finals!! Woohoo!!!


Anyway they were in 7th place, and there were two other crews from ABDC season 6 too, ReQuest in second place and Instant Noodles (urgh) at fifth place. How 787 who are like effing awesome were in seventh place while Instant Noodles got to fifth escapes me. But moving on, they did this interview and met up with some old friends from ABDC and the camaraderie seemed so genuine it made me smile. So here it is, 787 crew (my favourite being Daniel "Phantom" Torres of course, the red haired one) and two of the guys from my old favourites, the Iconic Boyz :)

Aren't they all just adorable? Okay fine I meant the two kids from Iconic Boyz. Oh and Daniel Torres of course :)


Okay what did I do after that? Ah yes, I realised that I have Friends seasons one through 5 which I still haven't finished watching. I'm in season two right now, and my goodness no show cracks me up like Friends. I was watching the episode where Ross finds out that Rachel has feelings for him and I could not stop laughing at this scene. Check it out.

Damn the writers of the show must have been hilarious!
Ross: You're over me? When were you....under me?
LOL


And then as if that weren't enough...
Rachel: Chandler told me.
Ross: When did he when did he when did he?
LOL


Then after that I was watching the next episode, after Ross and Rachel first kissed. The differences between how the girls talked about it and the guys talked about it was hilarious. Let's analyze the situation shall we?


First, the girls.


Rachel: Ross kissed me!
Phoebe: NO!
Monica: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
Rachel: It was unbelievable!
Monica: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
Phoebe: Okay, all right, we want to hear everything. Monica, get the wine and unplug the phone. Rachel, does this end well or do we need to get tissues?
Rachel: Ohhhh it ended very well.
Monica: (getting the wine) Do not start without me, do not start without me!!
Phoebe: Okay, all right, let's hear about the kiss. Was it like a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, like a 'I gotta have you now' kinda thing?
Rachel: Well, at first it was really intense, you know. And then, oh and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Phoebe: Okay, was he holding you? Or was his hands on your back or...?
Rachel: No, actually first they started out on my waist, and then they slid up and they were in my hair.
Monica and Phoebe: Ohhhh.....


Then we have the guys.


Ross: And then uh, and then I kissed her.
Joey: Tongue?
Ross: Yeah.
Joey: Cool.
(They all nod and eat their pizza)


LOL Friends is so awesome.


After that I went to watch tv for a while to watch this episode of Masterchef Australia that I missed during the week. All the contestants had to cook their signature dishes and as usual I was rooting for Alvin, my favourite comedian, and Callum, that adorable little boy. Okay, he's not a little boy but he certainly is adorable enough to be one :) So anyway, Callum made an awesome dish and seeing as they had to serve 5 people, did make enough for everyone. Sadly, he didn't plate up most of his stuff on time so his dishes were incomplete. The judges were really nice though, they shared their stuff so that everyone could taste his dish. So obviously when the time came for the contestants to hear who got into the bottom three, poor Callum thought he was dead meat for sure. See what happens. For all you people who feel as malas as I did to watch the whole thing, start at 3:00 :)

Hehe the look on his face. And the things he said after that..."I don't think I've ever been so shocked in my life. I'm still trying to compute whether the judges actually said my name or not or if it was just me, hoping that they would." He's adorable and he's funny :)


After that, well I just went back to Friends. I'm still in Season 2, enjoying myself. So yes, that's how I wasted an entire day doing nothing. Oh well, it is Saturday after all. A day meant to be wasted. For me at least. I didn't see Joash the whole day, he stole the car and was out of the house before I woke up and just got back home. May he get sicker until he figures out that he needs to rest to recover from a sickness, not drive himself into the ground. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a future workaholic on our hands. Who knew, right?


So now...I guess I'm done blogging for the day. But before I go, just one more time.

*sigh* Look at me, sometimes wondering why I'm madly in love with JC. Why do I even bother?

An Interesting Day

Yeah interesting it was. But the price of interest, let me tell you, is energy. I'm so freaking tired!!


We were handing in our Business Law assignment today. What a disaster it was. Spent the whole day tweaking and re-tweaking it and it still ended up looking horrible. The amount of effort that went into those 50-odd pages...


The sleepless nights I spent doing my part which included explaining an entire amendment act, the two hours of Loss Models that I didn't pay attention in cause I was more concerned about Shu finishing off her part of the assignment, the hour of Financial Econs that I didn't pay attention in... Okay fine that was because watching Aaron playing Angry Birds then stealing his phone to play Fruit Ninja was too much fun, but let's get back to the amount of effort that went into my Business Law assignment.


Then the hours spent in the computer lab in SE block trying to get the stupid webpages to fit nicely into a Word document, the stress of the deadline creeping up on me and Shu, making me yell at her a whole lot more than usual (sorry sayang, I don't know how you put up with me), then the walk to TBR under the hot freaking sun to print the assignment and tape bind it, the walk back to UTAR under the hot sun to pass up the assignment... and finally the waltz into class (an hour and a half late) to pass up the damn thing. But wait, that's not all. Shu decides to check the assignment one last time so she opens it, turns to me and just says one word. "Darling...." And it hit me.


We didn't print out the last webpage which wouldn't fit onto the Word document so needed to be printed out separately. And I had estimated what page it would be all and confidently typed with my answers to 'refer to page 54 for full attachment of terms and conditions'. Ah, the mythical page 54 that was doomed to never be in existence. The lecturer is either gonna laugh or cry when she sees the assignment. I hope she has a good sense of humour.


Then it was back home to sit for the Loss Models online exam which I was completely unprepared for. And just when I was already so tense and needed some peace and quiet at home, Joash brought like half his class back home to do some shooting thing they had to do. *sigh* But yes, Loss Models. I was all pumped up and energized (okay that's a lie, I was so tired and sleepy by then) to study and get it done. But before that I just had to watch Masterchef Australia, which has become my new vice. This guy Alvin is just so funny and I just found out that he grew up in Malaysia! No surprise there though. Malaysians always run off to Australia lol. And there's another guy, Callum who's just too adorable for words. And the food *drool*. I'm always hungry after watching it but that's my only qualm :)


There's this one part where Alvin was so adorable. Their challenge was to make a macaroon tower and he was really nervous about it. Apparently he had tried making macaroons before and it was a disaster. But at the end, his was the best among the 4 contestants who had taken the challenge! 


Watch the part at 8:54. 

If I can do macaroons, I can conquer the world. LOL


So yes, after Masterchef was over was when I really started to panic. I wasn't ready for Loss Models!!! So I sat in my room and shut the door to sit and study. But that's when suddenly Sanjeev is texting me la, Chris is calling me la. And obviously I'll take any reason to procrastinate studying so I'll layan them all. Then God's grace shone upon me in the form of a phone call from Anna (oh what a coincidence) Grace, telling me that the deadline for the online exam had been extended to Tuesday. 


Hallelujah!!


So I had my dinner in a relatively calmer state of mind. Oh but I had such an embarassingly awkward moment today. It is awkward coming outta the shower holding your towel and dirty clothes in front of a kitchenful of strangers who happen to be your brother's college friends :s


So here I am, jobless again. I can't believe I'm done blogging, I thought I had so much to blog about. Ah well, maybe I'm just getting better at vomiting out what I want to say :)


That's it for now...I think. I'm too tired to figure out what I'm forgetting so whatever.

A Post-Assignment De-Stresser

Okay, I admit my assignment isn't quite done yet. But in my defense, my role in it is quite a passive one at the moment so I might as well blog while I'm in the mood :)


So first of all, I have a shocking announcement to make. Truth be told, I'm actually a little ashamed of admitting this, but oh well, this is my blog and I really should be honest. *sigh* I shouldn't have given in to temptation, peer pressure, whatever it is people choose to call it. I know that but...it was just too hard. Okay, okay I'm getting to the point now. I, Ellana Selvaraj....


Have been wearing slippers to uni all week.


Three years at UTAR finally got to me. I am now no better than all the others there who don't give a damn how they look when they go to uni. Then again most people have probably already figured that out. And besides, nobody even noticed I was wearing slippers until I pointed it out. So nobody else cares how I look either. So yeah. Whatever.


Moving on. I'm finally done with my part in the Business Law assignment. I'd blog about it but I'm so tired of seeing the accursed words 'exclusion clause'. I swear I will die if I have to type it out one more time.


And of course Malaysia didn't beat Singapore. I would have watched the match but I might have jinxed it, so I didn't. I was grocery shopping with mom and sis anyway. Yes, as Malaysia attempted to make history I was pushing a trolley around Jusco. What else is new?


Joash made his escape, what with him coughing up his lungs and all. He's trying to latch on to the power of his mind to convince himself he's not sick but so far it's not working. I tried to get him to stay home tomorrow and rest but to no avail. Apparently his classes are just that interesting. Damn. I'd never put that much effort into going for Survival Models or Financial Econs :s


Oh but I did make history today. Shu came over and she was sleepy so I was talking my mouth off about *NSync and how much I'm madly in love with JC when a miracle happened. Apparently, dumbass that I am, I never actually really tried to get Shu to listen to *NSync. I played her 'O Holy Night' once. And that was all it took. 


She got goosebumps when she heard it. Goose-freaking-bumps. Even Shu can't resist the awesome 5 part harmonies that is *NSync. If I can convert Shu, I can take over the world :D


Speaking of *NSYNC..... *wide ass smile*


Nobody panic. I just found this awesome blues version of 'I Want You Back' which I can't believe I haven't heard before. Here's the original version, which I also love obviously because JC Chasez looks so gorgeous.

*SIGH* He looks so hot when he's driving. Oh and when he was taking that shot at the pool table. Oh and when he pointed right at the camera at the first chorus at that "when I want YOU back" part. Oh and when he and Justin were fooling around at 2:44. *sigh* Why JC? Why do you have to be so damn hot? Gosh I miss *NSync.


Okay what was my point again? Yes, yes moving on *sniffle sniffle*, here's the blues version that they did during their 'Celebrity' tour. They did this really cool thing with the bridge, putting together all the lyrics from their past hits. It was so clever. Went something like this, starting at around 2:12.


This I Promise You (From 'This I Promise You', obviously)
It ain't no lie (From 'Bye, Bye, Bye')
Tearin Up My Heart (Again, obviously from 'Tearin Up My Heart')
Since you said Bye, Bye, Bye (Duh)


It's Gonna Be Me (Kinda obvious too, from 'It's Gonna Be Me')
That makes your loneliness stop
If you won't be my Girlfriend (LOL from 'Girlfriend', I used to hate that song)
My heart will surely Pop (Another obvious one, from 'Pop')


I'd like to spend a little more time with you (Okay a little less obvious, from 'God Must Have Spent')
Doin our thing and Sailing like we used to do (Another less than obvious one, from one of their earliest hits, 'Sailing')
No Strings Attached! (I've mentioned this song/album enough times so if I have to say it again.....*crack knuckles*)
Baby, I Want You Back (Duh)


But the truth remains.... (Okay not too obvious, from 'Gone')


They're so creative. Okay now you're ready for the video :) It's not too clear but its the voices that matter, so don't dare complain :p

The awesomeness that is JC's voice. Goddamn. Did you hear that big finish? Justin wasn't kidding when he said 'big'.


And the guys are so funny! "Pretend you're at church" la, then the way Chris says "Pretend everyone's in their underwear" and JC looks at Joey and goes "Oh my GOD." They're so funny, even in their interviews. I never get tired of their antics :)

So yes, my love for *NSync will never die. And apparently neither will my obsession with JC lol.

It's been almost a year! I'm still not over him. This is highly unusual by the way. I thought he was just a phase. I had plenty of phases before; I had a James Franco phase, an Eminem phase, a Cristiano Ronaldo phase, so many la. But none have lasted this long. I'm crazy, I know. 


So yes, I'm tired now. At least I have a sort of understandable blog update. That's not bad for a post that was written at 12am :) Oh but before I go, let's just hear it one last time. For today, that is :)

JC Chasez, I still fucking love you.

An Unnecessary Update

There's nothing much I have to say, but I just feel like blogging today. Been trying to come up with something to blog about that has nothing to do with JC Chasez. It's been kinda difficult though, watching him all afternoon and finding a video that has the most adorable clips of him in interviews and when he's performing and...


Gosh I keep doing that! I absolutely swear to myself that I'm not going to mention JC then I just....do. Anyway I've been thinking of what to blog about and here are some ideas I immediately tossed out for various reasons:


Why I Hate Bones
Reasoning:
I didn't want to even think about that stupid tv show, let alone blog about it because I would have gone into a rage about how none of the characters are even vaguely likeable except for Angela and Hodgins. And about how Bones is a perasan, self absorbed, unfeeling....you know what? Let's not get into that right now.


Why Ted Mosby Is A Woman
Reasoning:
He just is. There wasn't any explanation necessary so it would have been quite a pointless post. What else is new, right?


How To Get A Shallow Guy's Attention
Reasoning:
Why bother? There aren't any guys around who aren't shallow lol.


So yes, here I am, clueless about what to blog about. Let me look around my room for inspiration. Right next to my laptop I have a card that Joash gave me. It's the mechanic near the house where I'll be taking Max tomorrow to get his side view mirror reattached. I hope they're nice to him :s


What else? Ah a mere foot away we have this book that I borrowed from the library. Yes, the UTAR library believe it or not. It's a James Patterson bestseller called 'Roses are Red'. And no it is not what it sounds like. And what it sounds like would be some sappy love story. It's actually a thriller kinda thing. Bank robberies gone wrong, detectives, crime solving and all that jazz. It's part of a series about this detective called Alex Cross, who seems to be a favourite of Patterson's. It sounds pretty interesting so far. Thank goodness I was able to put it down.


James Patterson also has another pretty interesting series about another detective, a woman this time. What's her name again? Detective Lindsay...Monroe? No, that's the character from CSI: New York. Okay I just Googled it, its the Lindsay Boxer series. Yes, that sounds right. That one's pretty interesting too, but the focus is on this Lindsay person and her group of women friends who include a medical examiner, a DA and a journalist who solve crimes together. Must be quite a topic to talk about over coffee with your friends, don't you think? Blood, gore and unsolved crimes. How delightful.


James Patterson is a good writer though. The last book I read by him, I couldn't put the bloody thing down. Luckily I had no tests I was supposed to be studying for. 


Okay so other than the book we have nearby....my earphones. Which I just used to watch a pretty all right movie called 'Something Borrowed'. Romantic comedies. They're nothing but fluff, but it was okay. And besides, cute guy :) 


Then we have...my phones. Using which I found out today that Lisa's precious baby Gray is admitted. He's severely dehydrated it seems. The poor thing. Get well soon, beautiful. I'm sure Velvet misses you.


Okay you know what? I'm tired and sleepy and thus, crapping. I'll probably do a better job of blogging tomorrow. Which means I probably won't proofread this post so if there are any grammar mistakes or spelling errors, please don't laugh :s Night, all.

A Happening Life...Kinda Part 3

Still in bed, everyone's still asleep, still listening to *NSync. This is the last post of the day, I promise :)


I injured Max today :( I drove to uni for this event at uni called Actuary Today. All the Actuarial Science students were 'compelled' to go by this lecturer who was organising the event. In other words, attendance was going to be taken and it was compulsory for us to attend at least one talk. Damn. So yes, Max is now missing a side view mirror. Yes, I drove home with one side view mirror sitting on my dashboard and the other side view mirror malfunctioning as it usually does. This stuff only happens to me.


So Qades somehow convinced me and Larry (with Larry it was easy, all Qades had to say was 'seven course dinner') to accompany him to this IET dinner tonight cause he was going to be getting some award. The IET is the Institute of Engineering and Technology. Yes, it was an engineers event. And I'm a student of Actuarial Science. But you see, I so bodoh. I thought I was just keeping Qades company. Imagine my shock and surprise when we were driving there and Qades told us to just say we were engineering students if anyone asked.


Let me tell you, these people are engineers. If I were to say that I was doing an engineering course, I was sure they'd go on to ask me how my subjects were and what we've been doing in each subject. Being so immersed in Actuarial Science for the past 2 years, I haven't exactly thought to remember everything that Qades tells me about his course. But of course Larry had a panic attack much sooner than I did lol.


Larry was a nightmare today. At the dinner he kept getting so excited that he had to pretend to be an engineer. He started to...I can't even begin to describe his behaviour. Suffice it to say that I felt like Qades and I were the parents of a precocious toddler (the toddler being Larry of course) trying to make him behave himself at a formal event. Several times I had to stop myself from causing him bodily harm. Even Qades, who has the patience of a saint got annoyed lol.


On the bright side, Larry truly made me feel thankful for Joash today. Thank you, God, for giving me Joash instead of Larry. With Larry I would have gone bonkers about a decade and a half ago. Yes, I would have been 5 years old.


Anyway, we were sitting at a table with some of the engineering lecturers from the UTAR Kampar campus. They asked one too many questions about engineering so eventually Larry and I just stopped talking so that only Qades had to answer their questions. Goodness, they would have thought we were dumb or something.


Oh well, it was fun. No Larry, it was not fun because you made my life miserable all evening. Lol, I wouldn't do it again anytime soon though. 


Okay, I'm done blogging. Oh look, it's 1.21am and I have to wake up early to go to church tomorrow. But I'm still listening to *NSync :s

A Happening Life...Kinda Part 2

Yes, I'm still listening to *NSync in bed while everyone's asleep. I forgot what I was about to blog about. Hmmm let's see what have I been up to lately? JC Chasez, the most depressing movie I've ever watched called Cold Mountain, watched the last Harry Potter movie (which was a Tamil movie in disguise), JC Chasez, hanging out a lot with Shu, JC Chasez, finally getting Joash to let me drive to uni, JC Chasez, worrying all week about cooking on Friday. Yes dinner on Friday was what I was going to blog about.


So on Friday Joash and I rushed  home from class like crazy people. As soon as I got home mom asked me with this huge skeptical frown on her face what I was going to cook. That 'what do you think you're doing?' look on her face was scary shit. So yes, I had already prepared what was supposed to be a chocolate pudding and the salad by the time reinforcements (in the form of Larry and my sister) arrived. And thank goodness because Dad was getting cranky and the main course wasn't ready lol.


It didn't help that we had some err...issues with the fish.
1. There was too little! When I bought the fish it looked like so much and when it thawed it looked like...miniscule little pieces.
2. The fish kept tearing off in little pieces.
3. The oil loves my skin. Kept jumping on me whenever the fish went in the pan. Spent a lot of time with my hands under running water.


The fish was a huge success. After all that blood, sweat and tears, thank goodness it was a huge success. But Dad at one point got so impatient he threatened to leave to have dinner outside. He was just a little cranky. Hasn't finished his assignment. When it's done I swear I am going to fall on my knees and praise the good Lord for sparing us further agony. Oh well he felt bad about it later and got all loving and kind on me after everyone left. 


Back to the fish, everyone loved it (except Joash who did nothing but harass me while I was cooking and then throw criticism at me once the food was done). But as usual I got a little over excited with the spiciness and ended up making everyone cry :D 


The salad was another huge success. I got Larry eating salad. He HATES salad. So yes, that's one recipe worth keeping. The chocolate pudding was a major failure though lol. As Joash and Chris so kindly put it, it was just melted chocolate. Luckily Larry brought a hazelnut cake that he had baked. So we just coated the cake with my 'melted chocolate' and had that for dessert. Thank you Larry for saving the day :D


So dinner was fun :) 


Stephanie had me and Joash scared shitless for a while. She was supposed to join us for dinner and told us around 9pm that she would let us know when she was near our place. And at 11pm she still wasn't here. We were taking it in turns calling her and panicking. Thank goodness at almost midnight she called to tell us that she had fallen asleep in the cab lol. She was lost somewhere in Subang of all places. 


So that was dinner on Friday. We should have another one soon. Reyhan's gonna be on break soon and Leanne's sports day is over. As soon as everyone's free I am going to take full advantage and fill the house with screaming adolescents :)


I still have lots to type so I have just decided to make this a three part post. 


I was watching this again for the millionth time today too. JC Chasez is so hot. And so funny. It's a collection of his comments as a judge on ABDC Season 5. And I hate that girl he found sexy. I just hate her. Okay fine I don't hate her. I just....hate her :s

Oh the perfection that is JC Chasez. He's so adorable, check out 1:19. I could watch him day in, day out and never get bored :)

A Happening Life...Kinda Part 1

Ah finally. One of those days when I feel like there's nothing to do but sit at home in bed while everyone's asleep listening to *NSync and BLOGGING :D I miss blogging. It sucks being so busy one week and then being free the next week so you feel like you have to take full advantage of being free and unfettered by impending tests (better known as doom). So yeah, obviously taking full advantage of being free does not involve blogging. Mostly it involves sitting around uni bugging people and then coming home and wondering what to do with myself lol. I'm so happening I know.


Last week was one crazy week. I had 3 tests again. One I did on Wednesday and the other two was on Friday. Guess what I did Thursday evening/night? I went to Bukit Jalil to watch Liverpool in training lol. I very optimistically brought my notes with me too. But then again I brought Qades so the two kinda cancel each other out. And yes, I sacrificed precious study time to watch a team I don't even like train. It would have been different if Steven Gerrard had been there though, he's kinda hot. Not to mention I only recognised like 3 people on the field :s But oh well, I had fun. Or rather, Qades, Stephanie, Joash and I had fun. Sis sat in one corner texting and Chris sat in another corner and forgot how to speak cause I never heard his voice lol. 


Anyway we were sitting at Burger King having dinner (at 10 something too, I wonder how Joash survived his hunger pangs) saying how at least we saw Liverpool train when Bryan called and asked if Joash and I wanted to join him and Leanne to watch the match on Saturday. LOL


So Friday was my tests, which went pretty well considering I was out til dunno what time the night before and only studied like 3 pages when I got home before passing out in bed. And then that night pulak went out with Joash and Stephanie for Sham's birthday party. We didn't stay too late; parents suddenly got super paranoid and at 12.30 started texting me saying it was 'about time I got home'. What??? But oh well, at least I was glad to get out of the awkwardness of the situation. But 12.30 I ask you?


The next day was the Liverpool match. Joash and I were so tired before leaving that we were seriously like "Aiyo....must go ah?" I'm beginning to question if Joash really is a Liverpool fan. The training also he wanted to leave the stadium early cause he was hungry, the match also he didn't mind leaving home late. When MU was down, I was at the stadium at 2pm. And I didn't need to bring anything to entertain myself because my excitement was enough to keep me occupied right up to when the match started :) So yes, Joash's fan status is under serious doubt. We'll get back to that later.


The match was the most thrilling shit I've ever seen. I mean Malaysia looked like Hobbits next to the Liverfools but they played like I've never seen Malaysia play before. The passes were (there's no other word for it) beautiful. And the first goal...orgasmic. The sight of the entire stadium on its feet was awesome. 


And then as usual on Sunday Joash and I will never come home right after service. Went to Mathai's for lunch with Stephanie and had awesome banana leaf. Of course I tried reaching Lisa but the girl never replies texts or picks up her phone. Got two numbers dunno for what. I tried calling Reyhan but that fella pulak not answering his phone also (he called me back on Tuesday lol). 


So yes, by Sunday I was the knocked out kind of tired. And believe it or not, I didn't have any idea why lol. Thank goodness this week was pretty relaxing. No tests, just catching up (or trying to catch up rather) with my subjects. So far all my subjects are going pretty good. Except Financial Economics of course. 


I just realised I have too much more to blog so I'm gonna do this in 2 parts. That sounds exciting. Yes I'm going to do that. 


But before I go, I just have to post this here. I was just watching this video for the millionth time today. *sigh* Oh *NSync, do you guys not know you guys are so awesome that the music that you guys put out there just isn't enough?? Anyway, before I get emo this is the video of *NSync's rendition of Star Spangled Banner before some baseball match. It's so awesome.

JC's voice at the end.... *faint*

A Busy Time

Oh my goodness my last blog post was on July 4th. No, no, my sudden revival of my blog has not taken a plunge. Believe it or not I have just been too damn busy.


I had three tests last week. In a week. There was the Loss Models online test, where even with my notes and tutorials scattered around me I made some awesome blunders, earning me a four out of ten. Yes. With my notes and tutorials to refer to. Four.


Then there's the ever awesome Financial Economics, the manifestation of all that is evil, the bane of my life, made to make my life miserable. Let's not even talk about that.


And then there was Business Law which I felt reasonably prepared for and at the last minute (We are talking the eleventh hour here people, Shu and I walked into the lecture hall and she was announcing it like half an hour before the test was supposed to start.) the test got cancelled. Isn't my life awesome?


Anyway, Saturday was Jenitha's 21st birthday party. It was the first birthday party that I had to miss this year. It sucked. Obviously there is no need to say why. It had to do with a CLEANliness issue going on here. Had something to do with YELLOW, YELLOW, DIRTY fellow. Okay, okay cutting the crap lol. The Bersih rally had almost all roads leading out of my place blocked so I was trapped at home. Needless to say, mom had us all on lockdown for the day. And yes, I could have studied. That is a fact. Here's another fact-I didn't study. You know when I studied?


Sunday morning at church while everyone was at 10.30 service. 


Yup, that's right. Brought my notes to church again and studied a little. Until Joash decided he was bored enough to talk to me, that is. Before I knew it, Michael and Bryan and Chris and 'Bryan' were there and there went my hopes of studying. Then we were talking about going for lunch and in the end it was just me, Joash, Stephanie and Chris. Went to Bangsar for lunch at Nirwana's for a real finger licking good lunch.


Lunch. Huh, yeah right. Got home at 5 something. 'Lunch' lol.


But it was so much fun hanging out with Joash and the two Kumars. I have now decided to embark on a project to capture all of Stephanie's awesome expressions and compiling them :) Hmmm while I'm at it I should start writing down all of Chris's choice fidgety moves too. So yes, despite Stephanie's death glare whenever *NSync is mentioned and Chris's continuing threats to kick me out of his car whenever I get in, I had an awesome time :)


And when did I study for my test on Monday that started at 8.30am, you ask? Why, last minute creature that I am, of course I waited til I got home from 'lunch' and studied right up to 9pm. At which point my fever kicked in and I went to bed only to wake up less than an hour later, and then to be woken up again when my head was pounding and my eyes felt like they were being burned in their sockets. And yes, I did set an alarm to wake up later at night to at least go through my tutorials. But my awesome Sony Ericsson decided to fail me. Alarm rang but there was no sound :s


Imagine my panic when I woke up in the morning. Well on the bright side, my fever was gone. And I had a test to sit for in less than 2 hours. That sure was a comforting thought. It went okay though, so thank goodness for that.


Today, I hate Joash. It is completely unfair that he gets to go to a college with food that is not only edible, but awesome tasting!!! He should die. I get UTAR, where they give us dead vegetables, small portions with suitably proportionate higher prices and fried lizards, a delicacy unique to FES. I can never eat at the UTAR cafeteria again, not after seeing the awesomeness and the liveliness of the KTAR cafeteria. Damn.


It was also exceedingly pleasant to not have the annoying music playing in the background. For the past 2 weeks, there's been a booth at the cafeteria advertising the 30 hour famine thing that happens about 3 times a year if I'm not mistaken. I'm all about getting food to hungry children, trust me. But why must they keep playing that promo thingy over and over and over...


The promo by itself is fine. But that music. That accursed music that I have been hearing for 2 weeks straight whenever I sit in the cafeteria. And I sit in the cafeteria really often by the way, my friends and I spend hours there. Somehow the noise helps us 'study'. So yes. I know that bloody music by heart. They have Aaron humming that shit when we're not in the cafeteria. *shudder* The horror.


Anyway, I really should be studying Loss Models now. Got another online test this week which I'd better do well for and a test on Friday during which I won't have my notes and tutorials to refer to. And not forgetting my Business Law test, also on Friday, which I also should study for. Maybe tomorrow I'll blog about the nice book I read today that Christina borrowed from the UTAR library. I know right, who knew they had nice books?


Oh and something really funny happened yesterday. Joash wanted to talk to someone about this trauma he went through and he probably couldn't find anyone online and didn't have credit to call anyone so he had to settle for talking to me. And after he told me about it he said this image came to his mind but he didn't wanna tell me what it was. Obviously my curiosity wouldn't let it go so I pestered him until he left the room. Then he came back to the room ready to talk and this is what he said,


"Okay so here's what happened. There was this...I mean...I can't do this."


And he walked out. If I hadn't been so sick I would have been laughing my ass off :)

A Dual Celebration

Well first of all, I PASSED MY DRIVING :D


Awesome. Now I never have to see that godforsaken place again. Ever. Hallelujah. Thank you God for pushing that car over the hill. 


And I made new friends too. Met a girl from Stella Maris, which brought back some hilarious memories of IU Day in Form 5. MGS decided to collaborate with Stella Maris that year. I mean the IU Day was...err....okay. But the preparations, the hours we spent together, that was fun :) Oh and as much as every guy I know would probably have a field day with this, I happened to notice that most of my fellow retakers were...well...


Girls.


That was harder to get out than I thought lol. I was also amazed that the JPJ guys all seemed to be in a good mood today. Anyway, I'll be getting my license by this week I think. I so wanted to head out and celebrate with someone but then I realised I still have 3 tests to cram for :( But I'm still happy :) Never mind, I'll celebrate this weekend when I'm supposed to be cramming for another 2 tests next week lol. 


And my second celebration is....


This is officially my 100th blog post. 


*sniff sniff* My baby's all grown up and reaching 100 posts. How fitting that my 100th post is good news about me becoming a legal driver :)


Okay I really should go and study now.

A Pleasant End To The Weekend

Goodness I barely got any studying done this weekend. Having fun like I don't have three tests to cram for. And look at me. Even now, I could be studying. But no, I had to blog about what an awesome time I had today :D


Church was normal. Joash got home late last night so obviously he told mom he'd come for 10.30 service. So yeah it was only me, sis and Shara serving at 8.30 service. And it was only when we reached church that I realised Joash was supposed to be reading today and he didn't show. Stupid clown.


And Michael is back!!!!! Yes, again lol. I was still excited to see him though, it's been a while. Anyway, I tried to study Financial Econs in church while waiting for 10.30 service to finish but I barely understood what I was reading :s Finally even Uncle Keith, Michael's dad, came and took a look at my notes and said they didn't make sense to him either.


So after that Uncle Christopher and Auntie Victoria very kindly took me and Joash to lunch..with Bryan and Leanne obviously. We went to Anjappar's in Bangsar and the food was so awesome. I wish I weren't so overweight I could have eaten like a pig. Then we walked around Bangsar (Auntie Victoria, Leanne and I were all wearing heels. Can so ambitiously stroll around Bangsar some more.), went to Tutti Fruity for a frozen yogurt that we made that tasted absolutely weird. Headed for Bangsar Village to hang out with Sanjeev for a while (Who I miss so much now :( Haven't hung out with him properly in so long.) and it was so much fun. I forget sometimes how fun he is to hang out with. 


Oh a point worth mentioning. Leanne brought a pink bag full of her homework which she was supposed to do in my house. And when we were walking through Bangsar Village, Bryan and Joash looked like such an adorable gay couple. Bryan walking with Leanne's pink bag on his shoulder, his shorts and Joash's shirt almost matching, walking side by side...it was so funny :D


When we got home obviously as soon as Bryan, Leanne and I sat on Joash's bed we got all lazy and unable to fight the essence of sloth that crept through our bones. Needless to say, we spent the rest of our time doing absolutely nothing. It was fun though :)


In the evening Leanne helped me cook and we had a nice dinner together; me, Leanne, Bryan and Joash. It was really nice. We should do this more often.


Anyway, tomorrow's my driving test so I'm not going to uni. Fingers crossed and starting to pray...hard that I pass. Otherwise, no way Joash is letting me live this one down :s So God, please be merciful and let me pass :)

A Pleasant Start To The Weekend

The look on Joash's face when he saw Matthew walk in the door was freaking priceless.


Matthew was coming up from Singapore for a visit this weekend so he planned to kill 2 birds with one stone-surprise Joash and take him out for a belated birthday celebration. 


But first we went to visit Lisa in the morning :D I haven't seen her in soooo long. And Matthew took me with him to 'give him directions' but in the end all I did was lead him astray several times when he already knew where he was going lol. But we got to Lisa's eventually. Before I could even take off my shoes Lisa had already run out the door to give me a hug. So sweet :)


It was fun. We just hung out with Reyhan and Lisa then went for lunch at Mathai's :D Mathai's is the awesomest place to eat ever. As usual when I go to Lisa's house I always end up eating too much and start to feel like I don't need food for a couple of days. After that came home and slept the afternoon away for Matt's triumphant return in the evening to surprise Joash. It was totally worth the wait to see the look on Joash's face :D


Anyway they're out now and here I am at home, watching old *NSync videos when I'm supposed to be studying. Speaking of which, JC Chasez is so adorable as a teenage boy *drool*. Luckily the Mickey Mouse Club was never aired in Malaysia, I would have fallen for him then and never gotten over it :s

A Humdrum Week

It's been a long week. The longest in the semester so far. 


I have three tests next week. Three. Two of which are on the same day. 


There's Business Law, which I've been studying, thankfully. Then there's Financial Econs, which I have barely touched for fear of my brains leaking out of my ears. And of course there's my Loss Models online exam, which (hallelujah) pretty much follows the tutorials, allowing me to scrape past.


I guess my week has been pretty uneventful. Highlights would include a hilarious misunderstanding involving a friend at uni thinking that I was dating someone. Jazvilyn actually asked Qades if I was dating Aaron LOL. When I told Aaron even he was laughing. Thanks for the 5 minute long laugh-athon Jaz :)


Also, I brought Shu to see the gym one day only to have the parian instructor chase her out. Such an idiot. And he didn't even tell her where to sit while she waited for me or anything and it was her first time there. Such an idiot. Oh and that was the day that my dad forgot to leave me his Selangor Club card and I had to fight with the security guard to get in. It was so annoying. This particular security guard always, and I mean always asks me if I'm one of the staff. Sure dude, I'm a staff member strolling in to work at 5pm. And I know I may not be memorable but come on. I carry the same bag, wear the same shoes, use the same argument whenever he stops me...*sigh*


Oh and I met Chris at church on Wednesday to pass him his cousin's gift. He had a dead animal on his face and I suddenly realised how much he reminds me of Keith but it was fun hanging out in dad's office, which is a surprisingly awesome place to sit and study by the way. I covered almost all my Business Law stuff in the hour that I spent waiting there. But there'll be a price to pay I'm sure. Prayer and Praise was supposed to be going on when we left but everyone was still at the courtyard. I saw a great deal of curious looks, wondering what the Dean's daughter was doing upstairs alone with a strange looking boy lol. The next day when I went to church to get dad's card I saw a certain Miss EP giving me dirty looks as I walked into the office. It was so funny :)


Yesterday I went to babysit Hannah and Beth. Not knowing they had company, I went there (as usual) with my hair tied like an old lady, wearing a humongously gigantic t shirt and shorts, looking like I was ready for bed. And when I walked into their living room, it looked like the entire delegation from St. Ebbe's were there. Yikes. So of course since there was company, Hannah and Beth were extra hyper. When the St. Ebbers left with Uncle Andrew and Auntie Judi though, all that extra excitement turned to extra annoyance. The amount of fighting that was going on.....even I almost started pulling my hair out. And eventually I was so tired that I fell asleep before Hannah did lol.


Today...I find myself thinking about Aggy. I keep going back to his Facebook page. Sometimes I'm just filled with morbid curiosity about his life, which I now realise I knew close to nothing about. Sometimes I just wanna remind myself how he looks. Gosh, this guy's turning me into a big time stalker la. 


When I found out he was from Ipoh I knew that surely there would be some connection between us that I never knew existed. And sure enough, on his friends list was a friend from camp. Well, not a friend more like an acquaintance. It's weird how small the world is. 


And that's not all. When I saw this girl on his friends list whose profile picture was her and him holding hands, I stalked that girl's profile. I thought she must have been his girlfriend cause well, if any ex of mine died it's not like I'd have a picture of him on my profile. I stalked her like a mad woman until mercifully one day someone asked her if they were together and she said that he was her ex. And bless this person for also asking if he had been with anyone when he passed away and this girl said no, she would have known if he was. Honestly, when I had thought that he had been cheating on some girl with me I laughed. And when Jasmine told me she had found some other girl who might be another girlfriend I laughed yet again, wondering how he had juggled me and goodness knows how many other girls. Then it turns out he hadn't been with anyone. 


Who knows? Maybe he was a nice guy. It's a pity that I'll never find out. 


Anyway, I'm off to see my baby tomorrow. My dearest Lisa I haven't seen her in so long, I'm so excited :) Then its study, study, study all weekend. My life is so awesome la.
