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.

Butterflies in the stomach

I got an interview with Shell tomorrow and I'm so nervous!

Will update more about this tomorrow.

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 :(

More weird things about me

I've been tagged by my cousin Azze (Thanks babe. You know I love tags).Anyway, I've done this tag before, but I don't mind doing it again coz I'm such a vainpot and I love writing about myself. Hahaha.

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. It's so ticklish so I became afraid of them. But not anymore. I think they're beautiful creatures.

2.I like to copy people's handwritings
I've copied my mum's, my dad's, my boyfriend's, my friends' etc etc. But I still write in my own handwriting. I just copy other's out of boredom.

3. I'm addicted to kuah asam pedas and penang laksa. I can eat those two everyday.

4.I love Snickers Peanuts and Zip Strawberry so much.

5.When I'm sad, I shop.

6.When I'm happy, I shop.

7. When I'm bored, I shop.

I'm tagging:
I've already tagged my blogger friends with this exact same thing.So this time around, those who happens to read this and wants to do this thing, feel free to do so.

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.

  • 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:
  • 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.
Bought the Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black (my fave) and Body Shop Papaya Lip Butter.
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!
