Life through my eyes...

Boring routine...

Life seems to be such a routine these days.

I get woken up either by the bright morning sun shining straight into my eyes, or by the annoying *teet teet teet* of my small alarm clock, which makes quite a racket for its size. I'll admit, it's usually the latter of the two, and there's always a short sleep-in which tends to take slightly longer than planned. Not a good idea. You would think that I would learn from my mistake... Hmmm... :P

The morning rush then begins - take a pee (hehe, you didn't need to know that), brush my teeth, have a shower, choose clothes (that usually takes up quite a lot of time, surprisingly), get changed, moisturise the face, style the hair, have myself a coffee (a must!) and off I go to Uni to attend the many lectures I have in the day. *SiGh*. By the time I leave Uni, I don't even get to see the setting of the sun, but only the street lights and headlights from oncoming cars.

Arrive home, cook, eat, wash up then back to Uni to study or stay at home and study. Before long, it's time to sleep and then the whole routine begins with less than 8 hours of sleep every night. It gets so tiring!

Weekends are no better. Sport, sport, sport - all in preparation for Bersatu. Really looking forward to Bersatu this year though, with it being my final year unless of course i'm still in Christchurch next year then i'll definitely consider playing for CMSA again! Hehe.

Sad, sad life. Can't believe that it's already at the end of May. We're almost in the middle of the year. Time has honestly flown past so fast, it seems like i've hardly achieved anything this year. The hours in a day doesn't seem to be enough for me to achieve everything I set out to do everyday. It's honestly, really frustrating and disappointing.

Exams and mid-year tests all coming up. I really wish everyone the best of luck and hope that all of you put in the hard yards for the next few weeks! :)

Just called home not too long ago. Really wish I was back in Malaysia now. Don't really know why - I hardly know the place. I guess it's the company of relatives and the fact that it's somewhere far away from everything - a place to run and hide rather than deal with everything infront of me. I suppose it's always a person's dream to be somewhere they're not. Human nature - never satisfied, always wanting something we don't have and when we have something, we always want something else. Silly really...

Anyway, it's getting late. I have a test tomorrow night on taxation. Fun fun fun. Tax! OMG! Do you know that as a taxpayer, if you're deriving income from an illegal activity, you're still required by law to pay tax on it? In other words, in filling out a tax return form, you must declare that you're deriving profits through illegal activities. Who in their right mind would do that?! OMG! However, the IRD have a policy that prevents them from disclosing how income has been derived - in other words, whatever information you give them, they are unable to disclose the information to say, the police who can prosecute you! Duh! WTF!

Time to get my much needed beauty sleep. Which reminds me, my eye's still healing!! It's been just over 5 weeks and it's still healing. Grr... Doctor told me roughly 5 weeks... i'll give it two more weeks otherwise i'll start panicking... It must be illegal to look like this in public... Gross! Yuck! *ptui* *ptui* ... Good night!

Sacrifice!

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty!

One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?" "My darling," she replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

HEHEHE!! I love this story! :P

Turning 22...

(Note: The posting date is the 01/05 which was when I started this blog, but haven't had time to finish it until now. Sorry!)

For those of you who haven't reached 21 yet, enjoy your 21st birthday because after that, birthdays just seem to pass like any other normal day because you suddenly realise that, YOU'RE OLD! Haha!

My 22nd birthday was celebrated on the Saturday (day before my actual birthday) with a small group of friends pigging out on a steamboat buffet! Thanks to Mark for organising it. :) We ate so much of the fried chicken that the cooks didn't want to refill the bowl after a while. Hehe! All in all, it was good fun. Thanks to those who attended. Unfortunately, none of us brought cameras, so no photos from the dinner. However, after dinner, we reconvened at my house where there was drinking (especially, Hock), mah jong-ing, playing PS2 - Singstar (!!!) and Dance Mix, guitar-ing, piano-ing. Haha. OMG! My house suddenly felt SO SMALL and NOISY!




Anyway, would just like to thank the following people: Andrew, Cheong, Doris, Hock, Mark, Melvin, Olivia, and Siew Aun for attending the birthday dinner; Anna, Ellen, Esther, Jennifer, Nik, Ronald, Seng, and Yang for composing and performing the song and dropping by just after midnight; my Mum, Annie, Kevin, and Wayne for the gifts; and to the rest of you: Ben Lai, Ben Yong, Brendan Fung, Brendan Lim, Carolyn, Freddie, Gloria, Hui Min, Jenny, Jimmy, Kenneth Foong, Kevin Ting, Mabel Lee, Sophia, Terence, and Tzin Wei for the birthday wishes. A special thank you for the surprise call from Jon all the way from Japan! To my relatives, Kelvin Ko2, Kenny Ko2, Pam, Damian, Evelyn Che2 - hope to see all of you in April next year for the big 90!

The winning movie clips of the night: (HEHEHE!!)





Will upload the rest of the photos sometime soon. Check back soon.
