Holla!

Blogging will resume right after new year. The UCOL library is closed so I can't blog with my own leisure time and blogging from the District Library is very time consuming. So just wait lah...in case you're wondering, my christmas kicked ass...well sort of. But I had a good time during the Christmas Eve dinner. Ate too many stuffs and there are still a few leftovers left.

Well, not much time left so here's wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007. I'm looking foward for another brand new chapter of my life....NOT! Damn, my Friendster damn outdated lah. Everyone is posting their Xmas photos already.

Hark! the herald angels sing

It's Christmas Eve today and in case you don't already know this year would be my first time not celebrating Christmas in Penampang with my family and friends. Not too sure how my Christmas gonna be this year but I hope it's gonna be all good lah. There's going to be a Christmas Eve dinner in my flat tonight. We're gonna eat turkey heheh. One of the Malaysian lecturer plus his wifey will be joining us and also the other remaining seniors not forgetting Tang the guy from Thailand. So it'll be fun I reckon. Oh, I'm also going to the midnight mass tonight. Can't wait to se the carols lah.

So You Think You Can Dance season the reality dance show ended last night and Nick was the champion! Man, he deserve it lah cos he's so good in dancing. I felt asleep watching Gladiator after that. Darn, I really wanted to watch that movie but I was just so tired (woke up at 6.30am that morning) I ter-fall asleep on the couch. Oh ya, TLOTR trilogies will be showing from New Year's Eve! Somehow, I fell excited to watch it in NZ since NZ was the place where TLOTR had been shot. So, I'm looking foward to it.

Well, not much to blog so I'm just going to wish a BLESSED CHRISTMAS to my mom, dad, bro, to my half a dozen craze cuzzies, my geng keras, friends and relatives...you know who you are! Enjoy the holiday season and have a great new year ahead!

Angels we have heard on high

Fabio Cannavaro is the soccer player of the year!!! Hahah...I am really happy. Sorry lah Zidane, maybe next time lah kan?? LOL. Finally there is a decent sports news on TV instead of showing more rugby and cricket news. It's been raining again non stop since yesterday afternoon. All my clothes that I jemur basah bah. Haih...now I need to re-wash everything again.

I've finished reading PS I Love You last night and I love it! It's a great book! You should read it but I think most of you would've read it since the book was out like 2 years ago. I guess I am always gonna be the most outdated person on earth lah. 5 days till Christmas. Done your shopping yet?

Say it right

Yesterday wasn’t really a good day because it was raining throughout the entire afternoon and only stopped when it was dark. Since I missed the morning mass, I had to walk all the way to the church shivering under the rain. Remind me to get a bigger umbrella okay cos my current umbrella is almost dead. There will be a midnight Christmas Eve mass this coming Saturday and I’m actually pretty excited about it because it has been a long time since I attended a midnight Christmas Eve mass. When I was a kid, the church that I normally go to back home has midnight mass during Christmas Eve but now I have no idea why they changed it to an early Christmas Eve mass instead (how many times did I mentioned Christmas Eve?) Anyways, it is 7 days till Christmas. Are you excited? Surprisingly, my Christmas spirit has not arrived yet. I don’t know, I think I’m just losing all my Christmas spirit just like last year. Well last year was a different case because I had to bloody work during Christmas Eve hence the lost of excitement on Christmas Day.

I don’t even have a Christmas tree in my flat in fact the only Christmas ornament that I have is a small wooden figure of Santa Claus (that I got from The $2 Shop) hanging on the curtains in my bedroom. There is also one Christmas card pasted on the wall which Ai Ni gave it to me not so long ago. Inside the card she jokingly wrote “hope you’ll find a boyfriend soon” Yeah, like that would happen lah kan? So you see I don’t know why my Christmas spirit is not here yet. Is it because it sucks to not celebrate Christmas with my families and friends or is it because I’m all grown up, that I can’t feel the excitement of Christmas anymore? I mean how can this be? I always look forward for Christmas and yet, now I feel like Christmas is just an ordinary day. Sigh…Need.To.Regain.My.Christmas.Spirit.

Oh, last night I watched Santa Claus 2 on TV, you know the one where Tim Allen acts? Watching that movie reminded me when I first saw that movie for the first time in my next door cousin’s house. I know Anne has a thing with “Bernard” (now he’s acting in the TV drama Num3ers) and the part where one of Tim Allen’s date sang Shania Twain’s Man, I Feel Like A Woman during their dinner. That was hilarious LOL. Speaking of movies, I went to the cinema on Saturday afternoon. That was the 3rd time I went to the cinema here in Wanganui. The last time was like 3 months ago when I went on a date with Tok and Langit. NOT…haha. Well, we went to watch Nacho Libre and then I couldn’t find any time to go and watch more movies because of all the crazy assignments I had to deal with. I even missed watching The Devil Wears Prada. Anyways, on Saturday I watched The Holiday. It is very typical of me to watch this kind of romantic comedy movie. Well, that movie wasn’t that bad I mean I like it because it tells a story of 2 different women who live in a different lifestyle and searching one thing in common, TRUE LOVE. Jude Law has beautiful eyes but he’s a bit emo in that movie hehe.


After watching Santa Claus 2, I decided to cuddle up in my bed because it was so cold and finish reading the 7th book that I borrowed. I didn’t know how or when did I fell asleep that time. I woke up at midnight from the sound of my cell phone telling me there was a text message. It was from Eve sending her birthday wishes to me. Thank you! Unfortunately, I can’t reply her cos I’ve ran out of credit. Then I just sat on my bed debating whether I should go and make myself a hot milo or just continue my sleep. Well, I ended up having a hot milo anyway. I started reading another book, PS I Love You by Cecilia Ahern (I know *again* I’m very outdated) and because it was an interesting book, I read it till 3am. I’m gonna continue reading it again later and oh, that book is gonna be made into a movie so I am looking forward to it since it is a best seller book right? Just a while ago, there was this little boy who came up to me and showed his pistol mainan. He was asking me to look at what he can do with his toy. I was looking at him and almost wanted to say “Look kiddo, I am not good with kids and I don’t like kids around me so can you just piss off?” Hahaha…okay I know I am never going to say that lah. I know that little boy was just being friendly to me too. I feel so weird when kids are nice to me. Huh.

P/S: Dee & Ken gave me a really nice bracelet yesterday. Thank you!

Twenty two!

So today is the day where I finally turn 22. Yup, c'mon just say it. SAY IT. Say that I'm old. I know I am an adult now and definitely should act like one; at this point I should know part of the meaning of life but here I am being 22 but still clueless about the meaning of life. It seems like my mind is still trapped in a 16 year old mind. Some of my friends got married at the age of 22, some of them has gotten their degree at the age of 22 and me? I still read teen magazines at the age of 22, I watch teen/chick flicks instead of a movie that contains good cinematography at the age of 22 and I still go gaga over celebrites (well, not so much anymore) at the age of 22. My point is, I hate being an adult.

But eventually you have to be an adult. I mean if you're not an adult how will you know the meaning of life? or how will you know what your future holds for you? Am I making sense or did I just wrote a bunch of crap again? Anyways, I hope being 22 will bring me so much joy and fun hahaha.

So, Happy Birthday to me.

P/S: Big shout out to my beloved cousins back home. Thanks for calling me and for the birthday wishes. It means a lot to me and for those who remembered, thank you to you too. I missed the morning mass today because I set my alarm way to early and when the alarm rang, I switched it off and decided to sleep a little longer and woke up 10 minutes before the mass starts. Nasib baik there's a sunset mass later. Cheers!

The list

Birthday + Christmas Wish list (I'm writing this just for the heck of it. I know I won't even be getting anything from the list though I am considering to get #1 myself unless there is any kind soul who sees the good samaritan as their idol and would kindly get any of the things from the list for me)

1. Incubus Light Grenades album - Yes, I really want it. Previewed all the songs when I was in the music store in Palmy and I do think this album is worth to buy plus from what I heard through The Rock 92.5fm few days ago, if you purchase the CD from The Warehouse, it comes with a free T-Shirt too!

2. A pen tablet (Wacom brand if possible) - Been wanting this since last year so that I could practice doing digital illustration.

3. Accessories - Alice bands (can be a plain one or polka dots or stripe ones), Pearl necklaces (I know it is still the in thing now), Head scarf (not the bandana).

4. Another pair of Converse All Stars - preferable colours: purple, red, magenta and green.

5. Ballet pumps or a nice pointy pumps.

6. A nice top - I want a top that says I'm with Stupid or Future Rockstar or I like Boys Who Write Love Songs (saw it in Supre) or anything funny lah.

7. Any vintage/classic/retro stuffs - It can be posters/photos/postcards of classic icon such as Audrey Hepburn, Norma Jean, James Dean, The Beatles, etc or a retro lava lamp, rags, furnitures as long as it is vintage/classic/retro. I plan to redecorate my room heh.

8. A dress to pair up with my leggings.

9. A cheap second hand TV - to put it in my room.

10. Last but not least, a ticket to Big Day Out 2007.

Two nights ago right after watching The Pacifier with the seniors, I was flipping the channels on TV before going up to sleep. Then when I changed the channel to TV2 I saw two people eating rice from a banana leaf. So I wondered...it looks so Malaysian lah and then I heard the word Georgetown! Omg, is was some travel show about Malaysia in NZTV! Okay I know it is seriously not a big deal but it was my first time seeing something familiar on TV in a different country. So Dee, Ken and I stayed and watch it but too bad we didn't get to watch it from the beginning. We only managed to watch it for about 10 minutes before the show was over. Next week's destination is Thailand! Sure gotta watch it heh. Still can't find a job but I am still trying. Wish me all the luck wei. I really need it.

Ice box

You know when I said that sometimes people just can’t get their mind straight; I think it applies to me too. So yesterday afternoon, I was watching TV (Rockstar INXS to be exact. I love it when Marty performed Trees!) I started to think why do I waste my 3 months holiday being stuck in Wanganui instead of going to Palmy or Auckland or even to Wellington? I think it just hit me yesterday that I might get more job opportunities in those 3 places and I’ve got to see more things. IF only I did a proper plan before my holiday I won’t end up being stuck here and be depressed because I can’t find anything to do. You see if I am staying in Auckland during the holidays and I am able to get a job there, I might be able to attend concerts (because a lot of rock bands perform in Auckland) and even go to Big Day Out with my extra money.

I guess it is too late to plan all over again. I just have to accept the fact that I am staying in Wanganui till school re-opens again. Sigh…whylah????I missed all the great opportunities to travel and venture other places and I just felt so damn menyesal. Napa lah sia tidak plan awal-awal? Okay…I know as much as I hate my current situation right now, I need to look at it in a positive side. There might be a good thing for staying in Wanganui. Well, I can start thinking on the degree project (but actually I don’t even know how to start thinking on it though) I have ideas in my head but I just don’t know how to proceed with the ideas.

I went to school today to get the mail that Raden sent to me and also my unofficial result for my first semester. 3As and 4Bs. Am I satisfied? Erm…I guess so. I mean I’m happy to get As for the electives that I’ve chosen. But I know I should’ve worked extra hard for all the subjects. Well, the result wasn’t official yet but I’ll let you know the real result soon.

Gotta go and grab myself a breakfast and it's already 11:42am. Dear God, pleasssssseeeeeee shower me with your blessings. I promise I try not to sin during Advent. Amen. (Haha...so desperate, I know).

Jesse turned 2-0!

Jesse turned 20 today! Heheh...Jess welcome to the number 2 zone. Remember on your birthday last year when you bought a tiramisu cake for yourself and then we rushed all the was to McD's Likas just to celebrate your bithday before it closes. It was raining cats and dogs and we berabis lumba with Mad Shah and Arnold thinking that we 'the girls' will reach McD's first. But to our horror as soon as we reached the entrance we saw Mad Shah and Arnold standing outside and waiting for our arrival. Then we screamed like crazy in your 'Purple Pradie'. Man, that was a lot of fun.

This year, you're going to celebrate your birthday in Indonesia. I wonder how's it gonna be but hopefully you are going to have a blast. I'm not sure how am I going to call you over there I guess I'll just call you when you're back in Penampang k!

Rouge

I have a new flatmate who's going to stay in the flat for a year. She said she's going to study hairdressing in UCOL which is cool by the way. So last night, had a chance to talk to her and when she asked me my age and I told her, she was like "Oh..." She told me she was just 17. SEVEN-TEEN?!!? Geez...I'm OLD! I hope this new flatmate of mine is not going to be the type of person who doesn't wash the dishes. She seems nice tho.

Well, there is still no luck in finding a part time job but you know what I have in mind if I REALLY can't find a job? I'll probably be a volunteer or join the christmas choir. I mean at least there is something to do right? I know I won't get paid being a volunteer or joining a choir but is money really that important to me right now? So...I'll probably think about it. Been totally hooked up with reading the past few days. I take this as a really good sign. I'm just happy to be able to read and read again. Blog more soon!

This man...not only he's a great musician but he's also super artistic. That's what I really like about him. I don't usually have a celebrity idol but he's definitely an inspiration to me. So can I marry him or not? (kidding...I know there is no freaking chance at all) Have a good day y'all.

Blogging from Palmy! I know there's nothing nothing else to do cos I've walked around and went in to every shop that I wanted to go. Can't lepak in the City Library cos I brought some library books with me from Wanganui. If I do enter the City Library, the alarm will make that annoying noise so better not lepak there lah. Been surveying some d-cams over here too. Saw the Incubus new album and I really want it! But the CD cost NZ30...kinda expensive lah. I really love the illlustrations on the album. Really cool! You can see it through Incubus' website.

Last night, I finally watched Jerry Maguire on TV3. Can't believe how outdated I am. I know! Can't believe I actually cried watching that movie. Haih...emo to the max bah. I'm never ever a fan of Tom Cruise but he was pretty good in the movie. You complete me. Heh.

Okay, gotta go and roam around again. I'll only be going home at 5pm so I've got like 3 hours to go? Cheers.
