How sad...

There's a new mall opening in KL, Pavillion. But I can't go check it out because:-

1)I have a bruised lips and there's no way I'm going out looking like that
2)I'm stuck at home studying dynamics
3)Friends are busy and Mum doesn't want to accompany me there because she's obsessed with baking now and refuses to leave the house.
4)Lots of things going on (grandmother coming over etc etc).
5)Lots of things happening at college(subject registration, talks etc etc)

Seems like my mum's new passion is baking now, ever since we started our little raya cookies project. I made two types of cookies and I stopped, I'm not addicted to baking or anything, but Mum just couldn't stop. She keeps making new cookies every day. That's all she does. Bake, bake, bake. Every weekend I break fast eating food from the stall, coz she rarely cooks anymore. But that's OK though. I love food from stalls, restaurants...

Depressed

I look like a nightmare now. I’ve got light skin and dark lips. Makes me feel more depressed than ever. But when I look at Koko I feel happy and relieved. Coz her ENTIRE FACE is dark, not just her lips.

Visit to the doctor

The doctor didn't say much. Gave me loads of medicine though. 2 types of pills (to be taken for 2 weeks...argghh), oral aid and oral gel. She also reminds me to use lots of Vaseline.

P/S: This computer is so slow, it's working on my last nerve.

My current obsession...

My lovely bf bought me a Rubik’s cube and i’m addicted to it! He also introduced me to South Park and now it’s like I’m obsessed with the show or something. Hahaha.
I’m going to visit the skin specialist tomorrow. I know it's silly but I feel kinda nervous about it. What if my condition is no ordinary dry lips problem? What if it's something serious?? Urghh, I have to stop thinking about the what-ifs, else I'll stay awake all night.
Will update about my visit to the doc tomorrow. Hope everything's fine!

Disaster!

I'm sooo dehydrated that my lips cracked. I tried peeling them off but it only make it worse. Now it turned into a ghastly shade of black, like bruise or something. It's really painful, esp when I eat and when I apply my favourite lip balm at night before going to bed(it used to feel soothing and comfortable), it feels kind of stinging. I'm going to make an appointment with the skin specialist this Saturday (the same doctor helped me clear off my zits when I was a teen).

Status: Nana is homesick, Mood: Angry

Daytime...I’m too hungry to study. Night time...I’m too sleepy. This always happen during the fasting month.
God,I hate life now. Every weekend, there's always something preventing me from going home. Either a visit somewhere, a test or a stupid talk.

Why can't I study??

I wonder what's up with me these days. It's like the mid term break had done something to my brain. Before this I was so enthusiastic to score full marks in tests (yes, I was THAT ambitious) and now I'm as lazy as a cow. I'm starting to miss class. Today, I went to dynamics class only. Geology canceled and I canceled DE too. Hehehe. Only went to survey class in the evening. I slept for,like,5 hours.
But it's good though. Nobody commented that I look tired,like last week. In fact, people asked me whether I'm fasting or not. Haha. I was THAT energetic. Those beauty tips about sleep and drinking lots of water is true after all. (Not that I drink lots of water today, I'm fasting!)
Anyway, now I'm installing some programs into my cool-looking-but-boring laptop, with the help of my brilliant IT housemates. I'm IT illiterate and installing programs and setting up a printer is like rocket science to me.

My second batch of cookies!

Today, I made "Crunchy Flakes Biscuit" (recipe book's name, of course). But I'm going to call it Coquina. Or conglomerate. Or limonite. Whatever. Geology isn't my thing, anyway. =p

After I'm done with the baking, there's some leftover dough on my fingers. Koko licked them off. She just lurrrve anything buttery and cookies.

My first batch of cookies!

Haven't put the sugar coating yet. And the lighting in the kitchen's very bad!
-CLOSE UP-

Today in history! I made my first batch of cookies. That's right! The cookie monster finally BAKE her own cookies. Hehehe.I made it myself! I’ve made cookies before, but I didn’t really MADE them, if you know what I mean. I was just helping my aunt/grandma.
This year, mum decided to bake our own Raya cookies instead of buying them.
And me, frustrated with DE(haha...I’m exaggerating) decided to help her made the cookies. Who cares about engineering anyway? It’s time to act like a real lady and be more domesticated. Hahaha.
The cookies I made are called Rainbow Crystal Ball cookies (according to the recipe book) but actually the less glamourous name is biskut suji. Hahaha. One of my favourite cookies. Colourful with sugar coating. Yup, not reccomended for diabetics. Hehehe. I made them in pink, green and white. Green and pink are my fav colours.

Why am I so unlucky?

DE test was a disaster. Full stop.
The tough questions...well, nothing much I can do about it. The simple ones, I think I made careless mistakes.
And I had another dynamics pop quiz this morning. Unprepared of course. =( The lecturer nearly gave the answer to me, and yet I still got it wrong. Gosh, how dumb can I be?
Rube goldberg machine project still not done. Rube goldberg machine--a machine that performs simple, everyday tasks in a complex way. My definition--machine for lazy people.

Urghhh

OK,having a new laptop is great. What's not great is that I'm using the new Windows Vista while most people(my group members) are using XP. They can't open the files I sent through e-mails. So I had to redo the work again (I don't know how to "Save As" using Vista..how bad is that??) and saved in the compatibility mode whatsoever and send again. Huh...
And then...just when I was about to send...I had Internet problems. Started cursing at MSN and yahoo. Why am I so unlucky these days?? Is this the karma of the universe punishing me for not coming to geology lab last week, 2 DE lectures, dynamic class and all tutorials??

Hmm...

I have DE test 2 this Friday. Even though I have tests coming up, what's bothering me is the pile of projects waiting to be done. (>_<)

Gewwwd news

Got a new laptop. Dell inspiron 1420. With pink cover and microsatin finish. Dunno what's so special about that. Once the package arrived at my house (ordered through Internet), I opened it and it's only pink behind the screen. Other parts are glittery silver.
Spend the day transferring all my files from the old laptop to the new one. Too hungry to study DE. Missing someone =(
Btw, Koko's condition is getting worse. She's so horny and she doesn't want to eat. At all. Now she has shrunken face and bulging eyes. She DOES look like a sphinx now.

Happy fasting month everyone!

2nd day of Ramadhan...2nd fasting month with him. Hehehe.
Went home,at last. I had to be firm this time. If not, then I'll be spending today at the ICE talk and tomorrow visiting sites in Subang and Sepang =(
Today is the first time I saw a sphinx cat. At Pet's Wonderland. Expensive. So I can shave off Koko's fur and sell her off as a sphinx for RM10 000 right?? With that money, I can shop, shop, shop.
Just when I thought I could really relax, there's another DE test coming up this Friday. Time to start being a maths geek again!!
Btw, there's this cat that's been following me around apartment. Named her Casper, after the cute ghost. She's white, and has a really beautiful face.

More misadventures of Nana

Yesterday, I took the trouble of going to the computer lab to type my geology project while waiting for DE class. Saved it in the pen drive, and in the evening I went to the printing shop near Upten and then lucky me, my pen drive got virus. I reformatted it and all data is lost, including my geology report! Damnnn....
My surveying groupmate sent the result through e-mail and I can't open the attached file, but other people in the group can.
Worst of all, I got a toothache now. And it's killing me!!!
Today, got back my dynamics test 1. Got 14/20. If it's not for one careless,calculation mistake (just like what I did for DE), I would have got 15. Huhu. After giving back the test, the lecturer gave us a quiz! I got the free body diagram wrong to begin with.
Sports mid term today, the lecturer said anatomy, kinesiology and a bunch of other topics will be coming out but instead there were only 2 questions just now, asking the processes of planning a recreation trip and the reasons why I chose this subject as my elective.

I miss home

I just can't wait to go home this Friday. I've been stuck here in Uniten for almost 2 weeks. Life really sucks here. Lotsa things going on, I don't really have time to relax. Got tons of projects, reports, assignments,tests...Even if there aren't any tests, I'd be worrying there might be a test or quiz. I hate living like this.

Genting trip

My 2nd time...first trip when I was a baby, so I can't remember much.


Meeting point at Hentian Kajang. Then off to Genting. Passed by my house. Feels homesick =(


Roads to Genting very steep and narrow. Gives me a headache.


At the skyway station, there's this animal exhibition or something. Saw this cute little kangaroo jumping around. Funny that my first encounter with a kangaroo is in Genting,not in Australia. Hahaha. When held, the kangaroo made this complaining sound, like Koko does when she doesn't like people holding her. I reallyyy wanna go home and see that little monster.


Cable car ride--my second time too. First time was in Zurich. I wish they'll build a cable car from Ilmu to COE to BA and COIT. Hehe.


McD lunch. As expected, things there are twice the price than in KL.


Took pics, then went bowling. I haven't been bowling for a looong time. It's really fun when I tried it just now (the package inclusive of one free bowling game). But I'm not as good as before. Last time, in a single game, I can strike many times. Just now I strike once only =( Wani's reallyyy good, btw.


After bowling, Wani and I went for a karaoke session. The place wasn't that great. The karaoke box in Mines is miles better.


After karaoke, we went to the outdoor theme park. We had been on only one ride (The Flying Jumbo...ok, childish I know) and then thought of going on the Cyclone rollercoaster but it rained heavily. Then tried Pirate's Ride..Really dumb, not scary at all, but we had no choice as it was raining and that's the only ride available. Then Wani,Aie,Hafiz and me went indoor and decided to watch a 4D movie (I didn't know that there is such thing as 4D). Thought it'd be a cool movie. Wrong! We queued for quite a long time, just to watch a silly documentation about dinosaurs. I got a little dizzy from watching it, and it's kind of blur too. Can't believed I've paid RM8 to get dinosaurs blowing their breath into my face and then screaming at me. Plus, I had to wear this rediculous looking glasses.


After that, went outdoor again. Rain had stopped but there's a thick fog. Went on the spinning tea cup. Haha. Kiddies ride again. How adventurous.


At 6.30pm, went back to Uniten. Took a taxi from Hentian Kajang. The cab driver charged us RM15 (long story...). And then arriving in Uniten, I said there's two stops. Me in Ilmu, and Wani in Murni. He charged us RM3 extra. Fine, whatever. After Wani got off at her stop, he began asking me a bunch of questions and I was so tired and wasn't in the mood to talk,especially to strangers. So what I said was pretty much the same 'Yes' 'No' 'Maybe.' What is it with taxi drivers these days??
Arrived at my apartment, with a huge pile of laundry waiting for me.

I'm sick again!!!

That's right. Having fever again.
It all started yesterday morning, I woke up and feel like there's sand in my throat. And during surveying, I began sneezing. And last night...fever!!!
Didn't go to any classes today. Luckily,there's only one class today--dynamics. Sports in the evening was canceled, but there's some discussion regarding the genting trip this Saturday. But I did attend the dynamics group meeting coz I am(unfortunately) the leader of the group.
Goshhh I really have to get well before the trip!! And on Sunday I have this netball thingy to attend.
Went to the clinic. Got lots of medicine to take. I'm feeling sleepy all the time.

End of hols! =(

I can't believe today is the last day of the mid sem break! Huwaa... 1 week break is way too short. I need one month break! (During the 3month break in April this year,I said I need 3 years).Whatever. It seems like just yesterday I was sick in bed with my cousins all around, and now I have to go back to class. And that Merdeka night marathon? Feels like it's HOURS ago.
