THINGS THAT I'VE DONE IN 2008
1. Joined a class (two classes actually) where I knew no one, and managed to get through the semester successfully. And made new friends too.
2. Supported my dad when he was hospitalised for only-God-knows-how-long to remove the growth in his stomach. Of course, I couldn't have done that without someone's help.
3. Collected my very first dean's list ceterficate (A bit late though, I got in in 2007)
4.Learned to operate the washing machine at home (Yes, I know, I'm so undomesticated)
5. Learned to understand men better (i.e.when is the right time to complain/nag)
6. Tried to quit being a shopaholic. But failed.
7. Became a teenager again a.k.a growing acne on my face.
8. Got my first car!!!
9. Took pictures at Dreamworld with my bf for the first time (lots of "firsts" in this list...hehe)
10. Finally tried J.Co Donuts...and hated it.
11. Went to Auckland, New Zealand (another "first"...hehe)
12. Got my hair cut shorter than I want it to be, by mistake. Screw that hairdresser! Until now my hair hasn't grown much, it's still shoulder length!
13.Attended pre-marital course.
14.Performed some good deeds by doing community service at the zoo (hehe, actually I just wanna get the marks)
15.Got the worst cough of my entire life. It lasted for months!
16.Discovered my ambition of becoming a "designer"...until I got discouraged when I found out that in engineering, a designer does not design things (as in, draw!), but they rack their brains coming up with dimensions of buildings and boring stuffs like that. No thanks.
17. Started eating brown rice as part of my low GI diet (kononnye lah...)
18. Landed an interview with a multinational company...and then screwed it up.
19. Got dean's list for the second time :)
20.Got my green card (permit to enter construction sites)
Goodbye 2008!! Welcome 2009!
HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!

Quick date at Pavillion
Today is Mr.Y's first time to Pavillion.
We parked at Lot 10, and walked to Pavillion. He acted like a little kid, he gripped my hand as if he's afraid of getting lost :p
He was pretty excited once we arrived there.
He's always asking me a bunch of questions also.
"Where is Bukit Bintang?"
"Where is Starhill?"
"What building is that?"
"Why is Lot 10 green?"
I feel like a tourist guide.
We had lunchie at Pastamania. My favourite restaurant in Pavillion. Love the food, the atmosphere there.
Before we went back, Mr.Y decided to stop at Haagen Dasz. He said he wanna know what it feels like to hang out and eat ice cream at Bintang Walk. Haha. Sorry this entry is boring coz there's no pictures. We were rushing just now coz someone's busy with his final year project and I wasn't in the mood anyway.

Splurge!
Today I accompanied my mum to KLCC coz she wanted to buy this necklace at M&S that she really liked. I didn't plan on a major shopping spree, I was only looking for a face powder and Himalaya Protein Hair Cream.
Anyway, I ended up buying more than I planned for. M&S was having a sale (every shop is having sales), everything 40% and 50% off. I bought two tops and a gold purse. It's been awhile since I last shopped for something nice to wear, I always buy boring t-shirts and cheap clothes at Sg.Wang. Besides, I got my loan already. It's not that I want to finish off the money. But the logic is, loan + sale season = shopping! Total amount spent = RM250. Which is still OK, coz last time Mr.Y spent RM200-300 on just one shirt at M&S. At least I got 3 things (Haha.Nak sedapkan hati).
The necklace comes with the top!
The other day I accidently knocked my face powder off my desk and it broke! I've only been using it for a few times! I shopped around for it today, but it's nowhere to be found. I guess the manufacturing of that powder had stopped. Then I went to Watsons. The Maybelline, L'Oreal, Revlon, Kate, Fasio powders failed to interest me. In the end I bought the ZA face powder (because there's a sticker of Winner of Malaysian Women's Weekly Best Beauty Buys 2008). And the price is reasonable too. RM30.90. *Sigh* I am such a scrooge.
On my way to Himalaya to get my hair cream, my mum wanted to go to Parksons. I tried NOT to look at Warehouse and Dorothy Perkins. Buttt...I walked away from Parksons with a DP pink fashion thighs (RM26). OK la tu, at least I didn't buy everything at Warehouse! Haha.

New shoes!
Went to Ikea with my parents today, coz my mum was looking for new cover for the sofa. Last time I went to Ikea/Ikano/The Curve with my parents was 3 years ago. Usually we prefer to go to shopping malls which are near to our house (KLCC, Ampang Point, Great Eastern, Bkt Bintang area). Yang jauh2 ni malas nak pegi!
I was looking for high heeled shoes. I saw one in Vincci catalogue which I really like, but in the end ended up buying something else.
This one has a 3.5-inch heels. I'm too chicken to buy anything higher than that (considering those health problems related to wearing heels). Price: RM44, my dad paid. And I'm not gonna wear this 3.5-inch heels all the time, only during special occasions when I'll be surrounded by tall people. Haha.
I also bought another heels. Price:RM 26.95. I bought this one first, but then realized its too dull after I left the shop. So that's why I decided to buy another one. This one has 3-inch heels.
For everyday wear, I chose 2.5-inch heels maximum.
I also bought a couple of tops. 50% discount.
And....I bought some of my favourite things. Books! Books also got sale. Hehe. It's my lucky day. I've always wanted to buy the LBD book Blue Remembered Heels by Nell Dixon. And I also bought the Twilight book! It's a bestseller (I'm always easily influenced by bestsellers) and the movie's a hit so I want to find out how good the story is! My other purchase is The Infinite Wisdom of Harriet Rose. The storyline seems interesting, and the cover's really nice too! But the thing is, WHEN will I have the time to read all these books? Hehe.

The monsters
God I hate my paternal cousins.
They are like monsters. They make the kids in Cheaper by the Dozen look disciplined.
Things they did to Koko:
-One of them hit her repeatedly with a towel
-They make snarling noises at her
-They stamped their feet on the floor, hoping to scare her
-They hit her with pillow numerous times!!!
-And many more!
What is wrong with them?? I look at other people's kids, they're all adoreable. Their naughtiness level is not so bad. But my cousins...huh!
Koko, who is a really ganas cat, actually HID UNDER MY BED AND REFUSE TO COME OUT. That shows she's extremely scared of my cousins. In fact, she even growled at them and tried to bite them. Koko never snarls or hisses at people (except the vet).
If you have no idea which cousins I'm talking about, they are the "piranhas" that I described in this post

Why ants are just a bunch of idiots
At first, it was lizards. Now my public enemy #2 are ants. (When will I be at peace with nature??)
Ants are working on my last nerve because everytime I boil water, they would come into the kettle. They're so stupid. The water's hot, and they can't swim. In the end, I see a sea of dead ants in my kettle. It's a lose-lose situation. They die, and I can't drink.
Why can't they just stay away?? Or go find sugar. Plain water isn't their kind of thing.

Hibernation mode
If people who have trouble sleeping, we'd say they have insomnia.
I am the opposite of an insomniac.
I sleep way too much.
Every night, by 10pm, I'm already sleepy. If primary schoolers are forced by their parents to be in bed by 10pm, well, for me it's voluntary.
I had plenty of sleep. 8 hours or maybe more. But I still fall asleep in class! Dah la tido awal, bangun lambat plak tu, and then boleh tido dalam kelas! Seriously there's something wrong with me.
Maybe it's because the subjects I'm taking this sem are all boring huh? That makes me fall asleep. Like today in Steel class, I sat in front, hoping that it will make me stay awake, but no. My eyes felt heavy and I yawned every 5 seconds. All my friends are wide awake!
I tried taking a healthy, high energy wholegrain breakfast. I'm taking vitamins as well. Next I'm gonna try those oxygenated water. See if it works.

So if I sleep early, means that I get up early too right? No! It's really, really hard to me to wake up in the mornings. If I have 8am class, then it's perfectly understandable that it's hard for me to get up. But it's the same if I have 11am classes! Susah betul nak bangun.

OK, so I sleep early every night, I wake up late, and I fall asleep in class. There's more. After I got back from class, I collapse on my bed and sleep! I can't believe this. I'm sleeping in class AND I'm taking naps when I'm in my apartment too.
I tried taking a healthy, high energy wholegrain breakfast. I'm taking vitamins as well. Next I'm gonna try those oxygenated water. See if it works.

I hate Friendster
A few days ago, I received a comment from one of my friends and it was a cartoon video. The cartoon looks like Alvin & the Chipmunks (but it's not). I tried to play the video, coz I thought it will deliver a cute message or something, but when I clicked the play button, a message came out. I didn't read the entire message, but the comment that I received is something called "phishing."
Last time MySpace had also warned its users about this phishing thing. Phishing is a process of attempting to acquire information like usernames, passwords etc, through websites like Friendster, Facebook, e-bay etc.
Nowadays, everytime I look at my friends' profiles, there's always pictures of some slut showing off her boobs. Some of my friends are pissed off too, coz that stupid Friendster virus or whatever they call it, hacked their profile, and used their account to spread those nasty pics to their friends.
I received a bulletin from one of my friends about this virus. Apparently, the virus will cause you to "sign out" without having to click "log out." When you sign in again, the virus will use your account to spread the pic to all your friends.
Friendster sucks! I'm out.

Cupcakes and dolls
Last week I went to KLCC and saw some scrumptious-looking cupcakes at Bakin' Boys. I wanted to try it but my mum said it's overpriced and probably doesn't taste as good as homemade ones. So I sulked like a little kid.
Today went to KLCC again coz I wanted to find the Marks & Spencer Lavender 3-in-1 Body, Room and Linen Spray. I was determined to try the cupcake. And my mum, she's being kind this time, agreed. She even tried one too.
The cupcake was delicious. Very sweet though. RM4 each.
The doll comes with a really nice box!
It is protected by an inflated pillow as well
The badge and sticker included in the box
Next I'm gonna buy Funny Girl. She likes alfalfa sprouts and quiz shows. Isn't she adoreable???

My cupcake!
I remember the time when everyone was crazy about those cute cupcakes. At that time I could only find cupcakes in Damansara. Lots of cupcake shops there. Cupcake Chic,Wondermilk (Up until now I still dunno where on earth is Wondermilk). It's hard to find cupcakes here in Ampang, and I tried searching for it when I'm in Subang. None!
Now cupcakes are available in Ampang. Yeay! I've tried those cupcakes at one of the kiosks in Great Eastern mall. Taste really good, not too sweet. A large sized cupcake cost RM3.50, and it's RM10 for three. That's the cheapest cupcake I could find.
You can also try the cupcakes at The Lawn, KLCC. Yummy as well. Priced at RM5 each I think.
At Cupcake Chic, it's RM4.50 each.
Anyway, back to the main objective why I went to KLCC. I couldn't find the 3-in-1 spray. Instead, I bought the lavender anti-perspirant deodorant. I thought the deodorant is like Impulse, you can use it as a body spray as well. But it's not! The M&S deodorant left a white residue after you spray it. Kind of ruined whatever fabric that you spray it on. Inilah akibatnya nak berjimat cermat sangat. I was hesitant to spend RM177 on the L'Occitane lavender spray, and RM120 for Crabtree & Evelyn lavender water.
OK, the lavender thing is a big dissappointment. Buttttt....I found something that I really like at Kinokuniya. Momiji dolls!In other words, those cute Japanese dolls. (I never grow up, always young at heart :) )
I bought one of the dolls. It's sooo hard to pick which one I like coz all of them are so supercute! I finally decided on a doll called "Clever Clogs." Each dolls has its own personality.
This is Clever Clogs
Laughing
For example, this doll is called "Laughing." Personality? "I like integral calculus!," it says on the box. By the way, the dolls come in a noodle box.
My doll, Clever Clogs, likes boys who wear glasses. Same as me. Or more specifically, a boy with glasses. Hehe.
The doll comes with a really nice box!
It is protected by an inflated pillow as well
The badge and sticker included in the boxNext I'm gonna buy Funny Girl. She likes alfalfa sprouts and quiz shows. Isn't she adoreable???
Funny Girl
Giggles My mum likes Giggles. I don't. I think she looks fat.
This is Pixie. I like her colour. But she looks like one of those Jepun celup. Asians look weird with blond hair ok!
I like Soul too. But her eyes are so sepet.
Anyway, a few days ago my dad attended a course. He got these books for free! These books are on my wishlist! :D
I'm so happy coz this week only 3 days of classes. Another reason why I'm happy is that even though yesterday I pigged out during the buffet lunch with Mr.Y's family at Hilton, eating all those cupcakes and chocs, my weight is still maintained at 45kg. *clap clap*

A tiring week
Some of my friends asked why I haven't updated in a while (even though it's only for a few days). I know you guys miss me. Haha prasan.
Hmm... what to say? This sem I'm taking 18 credit hour (6 classes).
Water & Wastewater Engineering
Structural Analysis II
Reinforced Concrete Design
Structural Steel Design
Soil Mechanics II
Technical Communication
I don't know how to survive this semester. I'm taking mostly design subjects.
Btw, I gave Mr.Y a Jean Mercier tie pin and a pen holder for his birthday.
I've been tagged. I think I'll do it in the next post.

Shopping for someone's birthday
Yesterday I went to KLCC to buy Y's birthday present.
After hours of looking around, I finally found the perfect gift.
Then I went home and I had second thoughts. The gift is kind of...dull. I imagine myself as the person receiving it, and I think, "Only this???"
So I racked my brain last night, thinking what else to get him. There's something at KLCC which I really like but there's no way I'm coming back to KLCC for the second time. KLCC is like a pasar malam, but with air-cond. The place is so packed!
So today, I went to Great Eastern mall, hoping to find another gift that will complement the one I bought yesterday. I wasn't hoping so much, coz you know la, Great Eastern mall, how many things do they have there? I went to MPH, searching for any good books, but there's none. Besides, I don't think Mr.Y likes to read. I wanted to go to a sports shop, but I don't know exactly what to buy there. A fitness shop, but he already has all the fitness equipments at home. Lovely Lace? Nahh, too girly. Timberland? Nothing interesting.
I was about to give up and went home until I went into this shop, and found the perfect gift (at least,to me it's perfect la). I was so happy. Haha. I found him another present, at Great Eastern mall, of all places.
Wanna know what I got him? Wait til the next post ;)

My father's new diet
image courtesy of lambrecipes.caMy dad performed a medical check up the other day and it turned out that his cholestrol level is very low. He's so happy that all he ever eat nowadays is mutton. He bought for himself this mutton dish during raya haji and he's been eating lamb chop for dinner. *Sigh* I hope he knows when to stop.

Selamat hari raya aidiladha
Spend raya haji in KL (yeay!).
It's a very boring holiday. But it's OK, coz I love staying at home feeling bored. I'm a homely person, you see.
Went to MPH Great Eastern mall coz they're having a 3-for-2 sale. I was hoping to buy Rich Dad,Poor Dad (Mr.Y wants this book too), Shopaholic & Baby and Who Moved My Cheese. But when I got there, Shopaholic & Baby was out of stock. And there were only OLD copies of Rich Dad,Poor Dad. And I was having second thoughts about Who Moved My Cheese.
I've always wanted to buy motivational books. But once I got my hand on a copy, I hesitated before making my way to the cashier. I thought that those self-help books can benefit me in terms of self development. But the contents are so...LAME. And the titles are embarassingly cheesy. So I think, those self-help books are not for me. My life isn't so screwed up so I don't need them.
So I went home empty-handed (but with plenty of cash in my purse).
I love books. But I'm always debating which books I should buy. I'm a fan of chick lits. They're great when you first bought them, but once you've read the whole book? I'm not the kind of person who read the same book twice. So I think paying RM35.90 for a book you only read once is not worth it. Except if it's a Little Black Dress book, coz it's only RM19.90. But still, things like these accumulates over time. And like I mentioned, I only read them once!
But I always ignore all these thoughts in my head and proceed to buy the book anyway :p
Once I'm home, I tried studying for the Soil quiz, but I couldn't get pass even one sentence in the book.
**********
Note to self: always try makeup before buying it. Especially eyeshadows. I love eyeshadows that have a rich colour, high pigment, however you may describe it. Sometimes, I would buy eyeshadows that looks DARK but when applied, the shade is really light.
Best eyeshadow brand: L'Oreal
Worst eyeshadow brand: Maybelline, Rimmel
I think MAC has great eye colours as well.

Got my green card today!
Today I had to spend another day in Uniten coz I had to attend the CIDB seminar to get the green card. Fyi, the green card is a permit to enter construction sites for project managers, workers, construction trainees, students, lecturers, administrative staffs etc etc. CIDB is the abbreviation for Construction Industry Development Board (I've only known this once I joined the seminar). Since I'll be doing my industrial training in April next year, I had to have a green card.
The seminar took about 6 hours and my butt ached coz I sat for a long time. 6 long hours listening to the safety briefing, about the dangers at sites, and looking at gruesome pictures of accidents and deaths that had happened, I finally got my green card and that rediculous-looking safety hat! Btw, Y also attended the seminar today so I wasn't alone.
I refuse to take any picture wearing that safety hat coz I'll look like Bob the Builder's ugly stepsister.

I don't need people
Boring first week.Most of the classes are canceled. Some classes are on, but still learning introduction only. Bor-ing!
What I've been doing since I'm in Uniten...
1. Listening to radio on my phone
Hehe. I rarely listen to radio, but since my laptop got so hot coz I switched it on for hours, I had to find another alternative for music.
2.Eating
Gosh...I think I'm gaining weight. I don't like being here. I tend to crave for food all the time. If I'm at home, I can lose weight easily.

2.Surfing the Internet
This is a must-do! I don't know what will happen if there's not Internet at the apartment. I think I'll die...of boredom, that is.
Omg this picture looks like I'm really eating, it's like I'm acting it (which was what I was doing). Cannot take candid pics la. Coz I'll look bad.
4.Reading Tech Comm
No, I haven't insaf and become hardworking all of sudden. I just don't know what else to do OK!
Btw, I've also started wearing scarf to classes. No, it's not because I'm daydreaming I'm in London or Korea or someplace cold. It's because of the rashes. Went to see my dermatologist a few days ago, and she prescribed two antibiotics (two!!) and my rashes are improving, but they're still visible. Fyi, I got allergic contact dermatitis. I'm allergic to sunblocks.
Yana, Aween, if you're reading this, I miss both of you so much! *hugs*
5.Camwhoring
Proven by all these pictures I took.My least favourite thing to do. But it's better than doing nothing.

My first day
I think you can predict what I am about going to write about my first day this semester.
I've found a lizard in my room!
There. I've said it.
There's not just one lizard, there are more of them. I'm supposed to stay with two other housemates, but one is a superbusy first year student who's rarely at home, and the other one, I haven't met her since I came here. My only housemates are lizards.
I think I finally give up. I wanna drive to class everyday from home! Let's hope my dad agree with this idea.

Countdown to the holiday
Omg this is bad. It's only the first day of this semester, and I already put a ticker, counting down the days til mid sem break.
Actually I wanted to put the countdown til the end of this sem, but I can't stand waiting that long, so I decided to be more realistic and concentrate on what's happening on short term basis. Haha.
Mr.Y's birthday is in December. Lucky him. And lucky me also. Two words: Christmas sales. Haha. Don't worry Mr.Y. I'll get you a nice pressie, not from some stock clearance sale. But the problem now is, when can I have the time to shop?

My boring blog
I'm not in blogging mood nowadays.
I'm not sure why.
I know I've posted some entries. But it's because I feel I have to. Coz it's holiday. And I have nothing to do. Holidays are the best time to blog. Once you're busy, you don't have time to fill in about what's going on in your life. But somehow, I feel like my life is more interesting when I'm busy.
And I'm not keen on taking pictures anymore. Mr.Y kept on asking for my pictures.
I've finished reading Remember Me. The bestest book ever. Makes me happy when I read it.
I tried reading one of Cecelia Ahern's books, A Place Called Here. Cecelia Ahern is a bestselling author and people described her works as "magical." That's why I bought her books. I'm glad I only bought the cheap edition ones. Her books makes me feel depressed.
I much prefer Sophie Kinsella's funny kind of writing.
*Sigh* I read other people's blogs and they're so interesting.

New apartment
Every sem I will blog about checking into my new apartment.
This sem is not exception.
So today I checked into my apartment. Just as expected, the room has LOTS of lizard droppings. Urghh...And the previous occupant left the window opened. I swept the floor and got rid of all the droppings, so hopefully the lizards will get the idea that my room isn't a public toilet or something. I sealed the window, and the door as well (bought a door seal at Great Eastern mall last night). I checked under the mattress for that nasty reptile creatures, at the back of my closet. So far, none.
I hope they won't intrude into my personal space coz I have to live there for four friggin months.
Hmm...lots of delicious food at home. Was shopping for groceries just now, to bring to Uniten. And I spoilt my eating plan by buying Smarties and Rollercoaster. And my neighbour gave some cupcakes. Errk. Nevermind. I'll lose weight once class starts. So far my weight is still maintained at 44-45kg. So nothing to worry.

Class starting next week!
My timetable for next semester...at the moment. I hope there won't be any changes and it stays like this! Three weeks for a holiday is too short. I need three months. Or three years. Hehe.
I have 3 more days to go til the new sem starts. 4 days actually. Because I have no class on Monday. Yeayy!!! I hope things stays this way even after the subject add and drop. No way I could spend 5 days in Uniten...it's TORTURE...I can only last up to 4 days there, max. Every sem I will arrange my timetable so that I have no class either on Monday or Friday. Long weekend! Heehee.
I'm a bit sad though. Today is my last date with Mr.Y before the holiday ends. Next sem, we won't be seeing much of each other. He'll be in Uniten on Monday, I won't. I have class on Tuesday and Friday, he doesn't. We can only meet on Wednesday and Thursday. So depressing.
Anyway, I got rashes on my left hand and chest. It's gross. I don't know how I got them. I don't sweat a lot. I suspect it's insect bites or worse, I got infected from my aunt. My parents told me I got heat rash.

Results, driving in the city etc.
Today I drove my mum to Ampang Point. The entire journey there, I was cursing a lot and expressing my anger towards Malaysian drivers. Or more precisely, Malaysian riders. Yup, those on motorcycles.
Just because they're small, just because they're on two wheels, they think they have the right to ride opposing the traffic. I've had two encounters with idiots like this today. They travelled on the wrong side of the road and almost hit my car.
Grr...
Another highlight of today is that result is out! Not on Friday. I was ecstatic the moment I viewed my result, but five seconds later, the excitement just died down. I got A for Malaysian Studies. Hahaha. I'm truly a patriotic citizen of Malaysia :P
I got B for Islamic Studies, a bit dissappointed, considering my effort helping the animals at the zoo and everything, but it's OK. And Hydro--the subject which I wrote rubbish for the final paper--I got B+. =D (Crap la, Blogger got no emoticons)
But why can't I be happy?? I worked so hard for this. But when I accomplished something, I immediately forget about it. And think about what I will face next.
So worried about next sem. All tough subjects. Glad I have Mr.Y to tutor me.

Having a HR officer as your mother
Imagine having a human resource exec as your mother.
You'll think it will be great, isn't it?
She'll give you tips and pointers on how to succeed at an interview, she proof-read your resumes and cover letters. My mother used to work in HR. People are always telling me how lucky I am, at least my cover letters and resumes are excellent. And I have all the knowledge about interviews.
But to be honest with you, it SUCKS.
Why?
Because she expects highly of me, and she expects that I get through all my job interviews.
My mother might be the expert in hiring people. She may be good at hiring the best performers. She can tell the difference between a good candidate and an outstanding one. "Worst" of all, she has great communication skills.
But I'm not her!
My mum is now a full time housewife. I know she feels bored with her life, and she still wants to prove that she's good at something. But sometimes, like after I messed up an interview, she'll say things like, "If I was there in that room instead of you, I'm sure I would have passed the interview." IT HURTS. And sometimes she would help me call the companies to enquire things about internship, and the people on the other line would compliment the way she communicates (people thought she's a representative from a university or something). I don't need to hear all thoughs things, all those braggings. It makes me feel down, hopeless. BIG TIME LOSER.
I can communicate with people well. Those who've met me would say that I'm superfriendly. People loves my makcikness. My enthusiasm. But I'm not good at "formal" communication, if you know what I mean. Like, at job interviews and dealing with companies HR people. I'm not used to that.
I'm not like my mother. Our education backgrounds are different. She knows everything about office stuffs. My education doesn't teach me that. Actually, I kind of regret taking civil engineering. It's too challenging, sometimes I feel like I cannot take it anymore. Give up, just like that.

Remember Me?
Went to Sunway Pyramid. Mr.Y got me a copy of Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me? coz I'm always complaining that I'm bored at home, nothing to do, and I've read all the books I have.
Besides that, I also bought a hair styling thing which I don't know how to use, lip balm and body lotion.
Result is coming out on Friday! I don't know why do they have to delay this til the last minute. My entire holiday is spent worrying.

The interview
There's only one word to describe how my interview was...DISASTER!
I've never had any interview experience before, this is my first interview and with Shell. I don't wanna go into details about how horrific it was. All you should know is that...
-the interviewer didn't even ask me anything about myself, or education background, what I now about their company or my working experience or normal questions they'll ask at an interview. When I came into the room, she asked me questions about some issues that global companies faced and me, as the CEO wtf, are supposed to come up with come strategies on how to overcome that! Omg I'm just applying as an intern, I'm not planning to take over the company!
-I always tersasul
-the interviewer shook her head many times when I answered, as if to say, "God, she's an idiot!"
So, there goes my first interview. I'll just wait for an e-mail of rejection in a few weeks time.

Goodbye lip glosses!
Today I finally cleaned up the mess in my room (as ordered by my mum).
There's two things you have to know about me: I'm a compulsive shopper, I buy things if I like them, I don't think whether I'll use them. Second, I tend to collect lots of junks. I buy lots of stuffs that I rarely use, but I can't bring myself to throw them away. So things just accumulate in my room all these years.
Today I'm being ruthless. I decided to throw away everything that I don't need anymore. Makeup that I rarely used and has expired. I know, it's gross.
These are some of the items that I'm letting go of. Some stuffs from Stila, Lancome. *sobbing* I read in a magazine that you're supposed to discard your lip gloss after, what? A few months? 1 year? Well, some of these glosses had been inside my vanity box since I was in secondary school! So that's why I'm throwing them into the bin even though it's hard for me to :(

7 WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME
1. I used to be very afraid of butterflies as a kid
Back at my old house, there would be lots of butterflies and moths coming out. And guess who they're coming after? Lucky old me. (No surprise there, if you've been following my blog, you'll know that animals,especially lizards,has a flair for me). Ermm...so those butterflies and moths would flutter their wings and land on ME.

4.I love Snickers Peanuts and Zip Strawberry so much.
5.When I'm sad, I shop.

What a boring holiday
-My aircond rosak. So my room is extremely hot and I'm sweating all the time. Not to mention that I got a few tiny pimples as a result of this.
-I don't date as often as I would like to. Coz this week I thought I would be busy helping my mum baking, but in the end she decided to do everything on her own. And next week my grandmother's coming! Arrrgh!
Instead of doing everything on my holiday to-do list, this is what I'm doing.

Instead of doing everything on my holiday to-do list, this is what I'm doing.
- Wake up late. Surf the Internet looking for prospective companies for internship.
- Daydream about how fun it would be working at this company, or that company.
- Number of resumes and cover letters completed: ZERO!
- This process goes on til at night. Then I would Skype with Mr.Y while exchanging videos on You Tube.
- Laugh at how cheesy and idiotic most of the oldies Malay music videos are.
I'm worried that my eyesight will deteriorate :( coz I spend a lot of time in front of the PC. Will start wearing that pinhole glasses today.

Nightmare
Last night I had a bad dream.
I dreamt that I failed my hydro paper.
I told my mum about this, and she said that dreams are usually the opposite of what actually happens in real life. So I searched an online dream dictionary to interpret my dreams.
Here's what I found:
Failing a test
Dreaming that you're failing a test, late for a test, miss a test etc., can represent:

Here's what I found:
Failing a testDreaming that you're failing a test, late for a test, miss a test etc., can represent:
- fear of failure in real life, or an attempt to mentally prepare for a challenge ahead
- real or imagined criticism (feeling like you don't meet others' criteria or don't "pass others' tests")
The first part is sooo true. Of course I'm worrying about my result. The second part is also correct, coz everytime I look at advertisements for internships, all they want is CGPA of 3.5 and above, and active in extra co-curricular activities. I feel like I don't meet those companies' criteria!

Applying for intership
Now everyone is busy looking for internships.
I'm being my usual lazy self. I haven't type my resume, my application letter, everything! Everyone else had applied, I think. Today, I've only started calling some companies to enquire if they offer placements for interships. I don't wanna send in my applications straight away. I only have five confirmation letters from Uniten. So I can only apply for five companies right now.
I've tried contacting some small companies but they don't need interns (coz they couldn't afford to pay!). I don't like how they answer the phone either. It's like they haven't eaten for a week.
Hmm...there's one thing I learnt today. Most major companies have vacancies for interships, but they're very particular about your CGPA. When I called them they usually ask what's my CGPA. If your CGPA is above 3.0, you're OK. If you're from Uniten, it's even better. Haha. Just kidding.
One disadvantage of applying for big companies: less chance of getting placement as lots of people are applying too.

Date
Went to OU with Mr.Y.
Breakfast at Nyonya Colors. Their nasi lemak is one of the best we've ever tasted. But the portion is getting smaller, but the price remains the same, RM2.50.
Planned to watch movies. Then suddenly not in the mood. Then decided to play bowling. Unfortunately I didn't bring my socks. Everytime we go bowling, we have to waste RM3 for socks. Mr.Y will buy the socks for me, then after the game, he'll keep it. We're trying to save money right now, so we're not planning on collecting more socks.
Then we took about half an hour trying to locate Coffee Bean. OU is huge sometimes it's just not so practical. I mean, it's great to have all the shops under one mall, it's a shopping haven for us girls, but sometimes the shops change locations and that's it, I'm lost. We looked at the directory twice but still couldn't find Coffee Bean. Civil engineering students who can't even read building plans! Hehe. But actually, it's the floor plan that is confusing.
Delicious nasi lemak. But small portion. I'll eat two of this.
After Coffee Bean, we walked around OU coz I'm trying to burn the calories from the coffee and nasi lemak. When we're tired of walking, we had our lunch. So today all we ever did is EAT.

End of story.

My fave lippie
I'm so happy today coz I went to Body Shop KLCC and found that my favourite lip colour (shade #46:Bare) is still available!
The other day I went to Body Shop Ampang Point to buy it coz there's a Star Buy sale--buy 2 lip colours for RM68 (one lipstick cost RM42). I wanted my favourite shade 46, but the sales assistant said that it's no longer available and they have stopped manufacturing that shade! I was so devastated. She recommened a shade that is close to my favourite one, which is #42:Dusk Pink, and I trusted her so I bought TWO of it. But guess what? It's not the same!
So today, I went to KLCC, hoping that shade 46 is still available. If not, then I planned to go to MAC instead coz MAC also has gorgeous nude lipstick shades. I'm a fan of natural tone lipsticks, by the way. But I prayed that I won't have to go to MAC, coz they have,like,millions of lipcolours and I'll get a headache choosing the right one. Even if I ask the makeup artists there for help, they won't be able to give the exact same shade. I've tried this before at Clinique and Bloom counters. There is no shade as beautiful as Body Shop's shade 46!
So imagine by happiness when I saw my favourite lipstick at Body Shop's makeup counter. Heehee.
Anyway, right now I'm using my old phone back (Sony Walkman). The Cybershot phone is just so terrible! Mr.Y always complained that he couldn't hear me clearly whenever I called him using the Cybershot phone. Plus, the Cybershot phone is so overrated, the camera is really bad. The Sony Walkman camera always makes me look good. Heehee. Another bad thing about the Cybershot phone is that there is something wrong with its ermm...software?Progam? Ntah la, I'm not good with technological terms and electronic devices. But everytime I switched on my phone, this message will appear: WARNING! ALL CONTENT WILL BE LOST! FORMAT? I said NO. But the phone still format anyway. And all my songs are deleted. Nice.
Oh, I forgot to update about this. My mum is now eating brown rice like me! Hehe. She asked me one day, "Makan ni boleh kurus tak?"
I said, "Boleh."
Besides, the pharmacist at Watsons also told her the goodness of brown rice so now she's including it in her diet. I also told her that brown rice is rich in vitamin B, bla bla bla. Everyday she'll be raving about how brown rice makes her feel full longer.
My mum is becoming more like me (weird!Usually daughters copy their mothers). She even talk like me. Whenever people hear me talking to my mum on the phone, they'll think I'm talking to a friend. Yes, my mum talk like an average 21-year-old. Cool? I'm not sure.
Err, I haven't send in my resumes for industrial training. So lazy. I haven't even typed them. Problem is, I'm so picky. I want a company that is near to my house (or near to my dad's office so we can go together) and it must be a multinational company. I'm so choosy I hate myself.

My parents
Today my parents had one of their "occasional" fights.
It's because of a PHONE.
Our house phone has been constantly ringing, and half of the time the call is for my mum, and the other half of the time, people are asking for my dad. No one ever calls me through house phone now and my friends usually contact me through my mobile.
So just now, the phone rang and my dad refused to pick up the call. He always doesn't want to pick up the phone, which is pretty annoying if you ask me. My mum was eating her lunch. After about 10 rings, my mum gave in a pick up the phone. When she said hello, she choked on a fish bone.
And so, that is why she is so pissed off today and not speaking to my dad.
Seriously, if phone calls are always bothering them, why can't they just pull the phone off the hook?

Post-examination syndrome
I woke up today with a heavy heart.
I'm supposed to feel good about this holiday. I finally have the chance to relax! But I can't, coz I'm worrying about--you've guessed it--Hydro.
At this point, getting an A or A- is almost impossible. To get B-, B or B+, I would need some kind of miracle. I don't wanna get C or lower!!! Througout my three years in this course, I've never gotten a C, except for Calculus (but that's because I was so lazy during my first year and I didn't attend the lectures). Only ONE C! I don't want to spoil my record by getting another C, or worse, an even lower grade. But if I would be grateful enough to pass hydro.
I'm worrying like mad coz not only I screwed up my final, but my assignment too. The lecturer gave the assignment at the very last minute before final, and I don't have time to do it. I've submitted the assignment, but it was incomplete. I didn't even type it! Omg omg omg.
Now that I'm free, I'll blog more often, but I hope my readers won't get bored with the details of me worrying about my result. I can't help it. I've never messed up an exam as bad as I mess up this one!
One person who has been really supportive of me during the final exam period is Mr.Y. My mum is supportive too, but not when I complain. Whenever I told Mr.Y about my worries, he'll be like, "Its OK. You'll be fine." and things like that. Whenever I say to my mum, "Ma, esok paper susah la." My mum just keep quiet. I'm glad to have Mr.Y coz he's in the same course so he understands. My mum has a diploma in secretarial science, so she has no idea about how tough it is to design composite drains and stuffs.
By the way, lately a couple of my old friends suddenly called me. One of them is this girl whom I used to be close to when I was in foundation and during my first year. And then she left Uniten without telling me! I was alone until my second year, when I've made some new friends. Well, she had been texting me and said she wants to meet up again. I said I'm on holiday, and if she wants to go out, it'll have to be when the new semester starts. But the truth is, I'm NOT looking forward to meet her. Which is weird coz she's fun and I love hanging out with her. But things have change a lot, and I think that leaving the university without telling your best friend is MEAN. So I've came up with excuses so that I won't have to hang out with her when the new sem starts.
OK, now I'm gonna start reading A Year In High Heels by Camilla Morton. Toodles!

It's the holidays again!
I'm so glad the semester is finally overrr!!!!
It has been a really tough semester. Maybe coz I take 5 subjects (17 credit hour). My limit is 4 subjects only per sem. If I take more than that, I'll get sick OR I'll go nuts. Yeah, seriously, my brain capacity is THAT small.
However, I'm unable to enjoy my freedom so much. Coz my last paper, which is Hydrology & Hydraulic,is so freakin tough! Other papers not as tough as this one. Eeee tension. I don't know how my result will turn out! I hope everything will be fine. *worry*worry*
Those papers which I think were OK, maybe I've made some stupid mistakes too. Like my Malaysian Studies paper.
Question: Siapakah ketua pembangkang di Malaysia?
Answer: a)Whoever lah...I can't remember
b)Lim Kit Siang
c)Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim
d)Karpal Singh
My answer:B
After the exam, I called my bf.
"Sape ketua pembangkang?"
"Anwar."
Goshhh. I really need to brush up my political knowledge. Which totally sucks, you know. Coz I don't read the papers, except Pancaindera and Malay tabloids like Harian Metro. I feel really stupid coz all of my friends know who is the Malaysian opposition leader :( And I don't!
Studying for finals was such a TORTURE. It's so hard to study coz there are lots of distractions at home. My mum always hasut me to watch TV with her. And I always give in to temptations.
OK, enough moaning about exam. Today I checked out of my apartment. Mr.Y fetched me in Uniten and we went to Summit coz I wanted to look for some DVDs. Nothing interesting though. Then we went to Sunway Pyramid. Bought a cleanser, toner and moisturizer at Watsons. Mr.Y belanja me dinner at Nando's. They have a new sideline, grilled vegetables.
I'm not really a fan of eggplants, capsicum and cucumber (I love leafy vegetables) but the Nando's grilled vege is not bad. Very juicy and rich in flavour. Yummy.
Anyway, I know I've made some mistakes during the exam but there are also some things that I'm really proud of.
1)I manage to get through the finals without any help from coffee.
I'm more of a tea person. I don't really like coffee. So during the final exam season, if I'm sleepy, I go to bed. I only seek help from eye creams. Hehe.
2)I don't gain weight or get pimples
Usually, during finals, I always gain weight and get pimples coz of hormone imbalance due to stress. I think I manage stress very well now :)
Tomorrow I better start cleaning my room. It looks like a dumpster.
And todayyy, I've discovered my true ambition! Before this I've wanted to become an accountant, dietitian, nurse. Now I want to become a designer! I know this is just a phase and I'll change again soon, but now I'm just sooo excited and I wanna start drawing things with Autocad during the hols!

Gifts for me...from myself
Went to KLCC today to get some lavender products for myself, and I did not buy the ones that I wrote about in the previous entry. Not Crabtree & Evelyn, and not Body Shop. It's from L'Occitane.
The Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Water costs RM120. It smells sooo bad. The scent is too strong for me. The Body Shop Divine Calm Essential Oil costs RM55 per bottle. My mum told me to buy the lavender set at L'Occitane coz it's more worth it. It comes with a makeup case, shower gel, soap and perfume. The perfume smells sooo good. But I couldn't find the full-size version. I think it's limited edition :(

Looking for lavender
I know I said I won't be blogging until Nov 7, but it's soooo hard not to.
Right now, I'm feeling stressed as final exam will be starting in just a few days. And I can't afford to be too stressed out or else my hormones will go crazy and I'll start craving for carbs again. I ALWAYS gain weight after finals. Hope this semester isn't like any other semester.
So I'm thinking of getting myself some Lavender products. Lavender is well known for it's calming,soothing, anti-stress properties. There are tons of lavender products out there... shower gels, body lotions, hand creams etc but I want something that I can use as perfume and also to put on my pillow to help me sleep better.
Here's some of the products I'm thinking of buying:
The Body Shop Lavender Pure Essential Oil
The Body Shop Divine Calm Essential Oil

Mad
I think it's pointless for the university to have a study week before final.
I don't think people have time to study during that week.
Coz that's when lecturers want to replace classes, ask students to go on visits, or give assignments that has to be done using certain softwares, methods, etc.
In other words, they'll do whatever they can to make your life hard, make you stress so that your hormone goes haywire and prevents you from getting an A.

From now on I must...
1) learn to say "no" when people ask me to do things I don't feel like doing. I have to stop pleasing people!
2) and give more priority to the more important people in my life.
3)learn etiquette and manners on how to be a good host to my guests.

About the birds and the bees...
THINGS MY MUM SAID TO ME TODAY:
1.Men expect their wives to be a perfect 10. Good cook, good in bed, good in everything. But they themselves do not notice their own weaknesses.
2. Women lust for many things--shoes,handbags etc. Men has only one lust--women.
3. What prevents a man from cheating is his aqidah (iman).
And then she started telling me the marriage horror stories, about what happened to some of my aunts, relatives etc. These stories are guaranteed to put anyone off marriage for the rest of their lives.
It's like she's trying to scare me away from getting married.
Everytime people tease me about when I'm getting married, my mum will answer for me, "Oh, it will be a long way to go til she finally settles down."
I think my mum is scared that she'll be lonely if I get married. Coz my dad's always busy with work, and if I get married I won't live in the same house with her anymore. But I can't wait too long to get married. My biological clock is ticking. Everyone knows that a woman's fertility decreases with her age. And I'm planning to have 20 kids. Hahaha.
I haven't lived as long as her to understand the many kinds of man, but I think that not everything she said are the universal treats of all man. What prevents a man from cheating is his iman AND love. Surely if a man loves his wife dearly he won't betray her. Right?
My mum is acting weird. Remember the other day I said she started reading self-help books? Now she's in the process of beautifying herself. Shopping for new lingerie, weight-loss products and she even seemed interested in that new Vitagen Collagen. Errk.
Anyway, I told my mum, "You know, I should have done my degree in dietetics and nutrition. At least the knowledge that I have will benefit me. Civil engineering is totally useless for me. Why should I care if a building collapse?"
My mum said, "I agree."

2nd check up
Today is my check-up with my doctor regarding my insulin resistance problem. I know that I will be sitting in a room full of annoying pregnant women and I don't wanna be the odd one out, so I wore maternity clothes to make me LOOK pregnant. Haha.
The doctor asked if I've had any improvement. I said I've tried losing a bit of weight and my acne has also cleared up. He recommended that I go on oral contraceptives for another 3 months, coz it will benefit me in the long run. I asked him, can he just treat me with the usual diabetic medications? He said that's not necessary. He told me not to worry, coz my condition isn't permanent and is "reversible." I just need to maintain a healthy weight and learn to manage stress.
I read on the Internet about insulin resistance. Apparently, my ovaries produced a lot of estrogen (woman's hormone). Estrogen can be found in the fat cells in the body. That's why when you have this problem, you have to control your weight. An increase in estrogen levels can contribute to a condition called insulin resistance,which is what I'm having now.
Insulin level and sugar level are two different things. You can have a low sugar level, but high insulin level in your blood. Insulin resistance is a vicious cycle. The fatter you are, the higher the insulin is. And the higher it is, the more you feel like binging on carbs. So the fatter you'll get!
The only way to control this is to eat healthy. Right now I'm on a diet of eating wholegrains and vegetables. Previously I weighed 49kg. Then I got fever and it dropped to 47kg. And then it was fasting month, and I was 44kg. Now, after eating all those kuih raya, I'm 46.4kg. The doctor said my ideal weight should be 47kg. But I try to maintain it at 45kg, just to be safe.
After the check-up, me and my man-hating mother (refer to the above entry) went to Ampang Point coz she's looking for presents coz this weekend a lot of our neighbours will be having birthday parties for their kids. I bought a planner for next year (very busy girl, but can't afford a PDA), and some cheap accessories too-- ice cream earrings, rainbow coloured hairclips, purple ring with pink stones. My mum bought me two nighties as well. They're so cute. Pink + green dots, and the other one pink dots+peach dots. Both cost RM10 each. Haha. Reccession. So we buy cheap things only nowadays.

And then it was fasting month, and I was 44kg. Now, after eating all those kuih raya, I'm 46.4kg. The doctor said my ideal weight should be 47kg. But I try to maintain it at 45kg, just to be safe.
After the check-up, me and my man-hating mother (refer to the above entry) went to Ampang Point coz she's looking for presents coz this weekend a lot of our neighbours will be having birthday parties for their kids. I bought a planner for next year (very busy girl, but can't afford a PDA), and some cheap accessories too-- ice cream earrings, rainbow coloured hairclips, purple ring with pink stones. My mum bought me two nighties as well. They're so cute. Pink + green dots, and the other one pink dots+peach dots. Both cost RM10 each. Haha. Reccession. So we buy cheap things only nowadays.
Actually, I'm not into those diaries that Popular and MPH always sells. Coz lots of people shop for stationery there and there's a big chance that I'll own the same thing as others. But that diary was cute and cheap, and I'm poor, so it's perfect for me. Same goes for those accessories. I don't like that kind of accessories coz their quality is low and won't last long, but then again, I'm poor. Hehe.
Ughh..I'm so bloated. Grr...PMS.
