COMPLAIN!!

i complain a lot. but i like to think that i have a reason to when i do. and most times, its not like they're baseless.

NDEVA. 

IS SO HARD TO NAVIGATE! i hate having to use nDeva. thats auckland uni's student self service website thing. nobody i know finds it easy to get things done via nDeva. CECIL (the electronic thingy that helps you download lecture slides) is easy and that is a-okay. but nDEVA??? christ, revamp the whole thing already so i know how to enroll in my courses!

 

in other news i bought a new dress today.

and i still think men have MUCH better opinions when it comes to fashion and style. MUCH MUCH better.

bleh..i dont really have anything to complain about anymore.

 
oh yes. a new mall has opened just 5 minutes away from my house. how lovely eh? thats where i bought the new dress. the thing about this mall is, that its smack bang in the middle of a housing area. you can just walk out into a suburb. and if you were to walk from my house, it really will take about 5 minutes. so if you are in kuching, and you wanna check out the hype that is the unfinished shopping mall called boulevard (hey, we all know its not finished. and what is a SOFT OPENING??? no grand opening and no lion dances cause half of it is still a construction site?) i suggest you do NOT park along the sides of the road because you can get a parking ticket. the other option is parking IN the mall itself, which is kinda pointless cause so many people are there. OR you are most welcome to park near my house. IF you know where my house is.

AAAND the annoying thing about boulevard is

  1. they need to label the aisles in the supermarket so that we all know what is on display in which aisle.
  2. they need shop assistants who are more assertive BUT not too pushy.
  3. the people there arent fucking shopping! its annoying! i know they all wanna see what its all about but BUY SOMETHING! either that or just GO! GO! and give the rest of us some parking space!
  4. its NOT DONE.

i suggest that if you wanna go to boulevard, WAIT.

WAIT till they finish setting up all the shops.
WAIT till all the shops get filled up.
WAIT till they finish putting things on display.
WAIT till they clear out the boxes that were used to move things in.
WAIT till they polish the tiles on the floor.

just wait till its done.

they have a MOMOE outlet there. a SINMA. a FABIANO RICCO. some SODA. usual Guardian pharmacy, kfc..etc.

kenny rogers too.

the roaster. not the singer.

ok i'm gonna go admire my new dress now :D

end of year

i guess i'll take some time out now to do a year end summary thing. i'm also currently kinda broke and am eagerly checking my account to see if my allowance has come in. thank you malaysian taxpayers! and thank you online banking!
 
so i've already completed my first year of uni in auckland. and i have to say, my first year alone overseas wasnt too bad. i'm not as alone or as isolated as you'd imagine because we're constantly being monitored by our sponsors. besides, there are truckloads of malaysian students being shipped off to nz so its SO easy to find other malaysians. i would have to say though, that part of me wished i wasnt there because i really missed iain so much. also because i wasnt so keen on the course either. but whatever lah. now its grown on me like a very ugly wart. i do wish that i'd have done more things though. like travel, especially. so maybe for next year i'd like to travel more. and not spend so much (BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!) on unnecessary things (double BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!) some people i've met in my first year wont be around anymore and others would be further away or have moved on to other things. i'll miss them all. i'm a little nervous about moving into a different place but hey, it might not be as bad as i think it is.
 
i got several jobs this year and i'm not sure if i'd work again next year. i might end up working but i'd really rather not. its tiring and the whole balancing act between studying, working and everything else in between is a tough act to pull off. i remember feeling like it was so monotonous after a while and it became really hard to keep up with school. it also became such a hassle to take care of myself. it really required effort and all. and there were times when i was sooo exhausted. i just could NOT do any more than what i was doing. and regardless of what i had planned on doing (like working) my body just wouldnt be able to take it. and so, i'd end up oversleeping and would end up calling in sick so i can have some rest. i think i deserved it at the time. i was waking up at 6 so i could be at work at 7.30 for two and a half hours before class and fall asleep in class cause i was so tired. i had to walk in the rain several times and...oh god i just dont wanna do that again if i could.
 
the long distance thing...it was really comforting, for one, to know that i wasnt the only one going through it. obviously iain had to go through it too but thats not what i mean. i had some friends who knew exactly how frustrating it could get and how patient you had to be at times. and the loneliness was something i had to learn how to deal with. it wasnt the loneliness on the degree of friendship. it was on the level of being intimate with someone and sharing that bond. there's only so much you can do with phonecalls and videocalls and etc (which help tremendously). but there are times when i just needed to squeeze his hand and i couldnt even have that. and ditto for him. hanging on needed both parties to be very supportive and constant encouraging was soooo vital.
 
it feels kinda surreal that february this year i was in this very spot not wanting to go and now i'm back here. things have changed around the house too. my parents bought a new sofa set (which i think was unnecessary) our little kitten that we had before i left has died due to poison ingestion. it wasnt my family, we think maybe the kitten ate the poison one of my neighbours left out for the rats. the same poison that killed 3 stray cats recently and the same one that made malinky very sick. our dogs died this year. i still miss them terribly. they were good dogs. my sister underwent surgery recently to remove her tonsils. my dad went to japan and back for a course. my brother may or may not work in singapore. and that has got me quite worried. anderson took the UPSR this year. 
 
being away from people is hard.  
 
i dont know why, but i feel like i havent really accomplished much this year. i feel like i need to do more and experience more. there are so many things that i have been wanting to do but never got round to because i was too afraid to go alone (ok some events i need company), didnt really dare to step out of my social circle or just didnt push myself to just be more out there. be more adventurous and do MORE. just DO MORE and make the most of my time away from this country.
 
i want to travel and do things and meet people and do things that i wont be able to once i start working and earn money in malaysian ringgit. ya know what  mean?

falling after you

is it time to write a year review entry? maybe not yet. i'm gonna need a long long time for that entry. its been a long year and so much has happened, yet it seems that i havent done much. i havent travelled as much as i should or want to, i havent found any new interests etc etc etc
 
but other than that, things seem to be going alright for me. watched national treasure just now and its just an okay movie. nothing spectacular about it. i would recommend watching it only under the following conditions:
  • you've watched every other movie thats showing
  • its CHEAP MOVIE NIGHT
  • its raining outside and you cant figure out what to do
  • you're somewhat broke and you cant figure out what to do in town
  • you just wanna watch a movie
so under those conditions, go ahead and watch it. other than that, not much.
 
hey, lets talk movies today.
 
SAW 3 - i know its a little late to watch saw 3 since saw 4 was released this year. well, i jumped on the saw wagon a little late, pardon me. but the first movie got me very interested despite the blood and gore and "self-censorship&quo t; (hiding behind a cushion and going "is it over yet?"). the psychology of it intrigued me. saw 2 was terrible. it felt like a bad reality show. saw 3 redeemed the saw series. and thats a quote from iain. but i fear the producers and what not are dragging on this saw thing longer than they should. i hear there are talks to make saw 6. JIGSAW'S DEAD by saw 3. how much more can you milk this for money??
 
I AM LEGEND - very very good performance from will smith. i didnt watch ALI so i dont know his acting capability. needless to say, i am very impressed with his performance in i am legend. not too bad of a movie. very interesting concept too. but if you scare easily like i do, you might end up sleeping with the lights on for a while after that. or would appreciate some company while sleeping...a pet would do :P
 
ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS - if you liked the cartoon series growing up, you might enjoy this. it was a good laugh. had a light hearted feel to it. nothing too heavy. and theodore is incredibly adorable. highly entertaining and by the time you walk out of the cinema, you just cant help but have a soft spot for those chipmunks.
 
ENCHANTED - whether you like McDreamy or not, this was a great movie. it parodies the typical format of disney fairytales and is extremely funny. McDreamy does not overpower the movie. the lead actress plays her role extremely well. if you enjoyed shrek, grew up watching disney fairytale movies, are into musicals or romantic comedies (which are fairytales in their own right), are watching for McDreamy or all/none of the above, you'll enjoy Enchanted. it really is a very very good movie.
 
BALLS OF FURY - we watched this because we had no idea what to do. (oh kuching..there's only so much food i can take before i get fat and bored) very fast moving movie. and i wont say too much about it. its not bad. surprisingly funny enough. watch it yourself :P 
 
NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS - unless you're american, love conspiracy theories or are a huge nick cage fan, i dont see how this movie can be entertaining. the way the events unfold are just TOO convenient. it just so happens that he can think that quickly on the spot. i like his sidekick tho. riley, i think his name is. but some of the oneliners in the movie are pretty spot on. but overall, its an okay movie. 
 
thats all for now.

tblog needs to up their service.

since i was in a blogging mood and couldnt log in to tblog for some strange reason, i blogged elsewhere...

that entry is as follows:

damn you tblog

i dont know why i keep blogging on tblog when i have a multiply. its about a quarter past 5 am now and i dont feel like sleeping (since there's i've got a whole day to do that).

i dont even know the main reason for this entry, really.

warning: the following may get a tad bit emotional - proceed with caution.

how shall i go about this? have you ever had expectations about what certain things should be like? like lets say,,,what going to uni would be like. or what living on your own would be like. there's that hollywoodized version of what you want it to be like. and then there's the version of what its REALLY like.

now lets apply that same analogy to a relationship. in this context with a very special someone.

i dont know about you, but i had ideas on what i thought a relationship should be like. and you know how it is when you're young and still figuring things out for yourself. kinda unsure yet really wanting to know for yourself. well, for me at least. lets not get all one-size-fits-all here. life experiences are not like t-shirts.

so now i'm in a relationship, and very happily so. only thing we have to put up with is the fact that we have to be apart for about 9 months before meeting again.

i'm not gonna spill the beans on every single detail of how we got together and yadayada. thats kinda irrelevant. but lets just say that we clicked. and we clicked really well. it was everything we both had hoped a relationship could be like. at the same time, it wasnt as if our relationship was picture perfect all the way. there were wrinkles to smoothen out and times when we had to talk even though i'd rather kick something or consume vast amounts of alcohol. (which i did once. and i havent touched vodka since)

there was one particular wrinkle that took a long time to smoothen out. a LONG time. and the fact that we had to be apart so long didnt help much either. i'm hoping it is all settled now. all thats left is to help each other heal and spend as much time together before i hop on the plane to JB. since this wrinkle has been dragging on for as long as it has, lets just say that some creases have formed.

tackle a wrinkle wrongly and you can ruin the clothing.
if you dont keep in mind the type of material of the clothing, you can burn it too

since we're on this whole wrinkle-analogy and all :P

and i said life experiences werent like t-shirts....

but you get my point.

i really have no idea how he puts up with me sometimes.

ever had a moment when something you just couldn't believe to be true, because its just so impossibly great, that you're afraid of disappointing yourself by completely trusting what it is that you want so bad in the first place which then turns out to be absolutely true, and in effect, actually humbles you?

its very powerful

NB: picture is iain sleeping with my cat and nonos...yes he slept with my sick little kitty cat (i story you about it another time) but remember, he is ALL MACHO with his CAR MANIA and ROCK AND ROLL.

princess syndrome

if you are as spoilt as i am...(ok i'm not THAT spoilt but i can be quite bratty) then maybe you can relate to this post. if you were googling a disease called princess syndrome and came across my blog, then i'm very sorry. that coincidence was purely coincidental and i didnt know there was such a disease.

i just realised i have this tendency to be very princessey...somewhat

i still have a fascination for balloons. i really like them. i'm starting to like dresses a lot again, and if you've seen the dresses i wore when i was 8...those frilly poofy type things, i dont dare imagine what dresses i'd get again.

and i can be very sulky and pouty...like when i cant find the eyeliner i want. :P i'll curl up in bed and think about how much i want to kick things. but never do. and end up hugging a cute dog instead.

i can be very stubborn.

i still complain a lot if i'm

  • annoyed
  • irritated
  • disappointed
  • angry
  • hurt
  • depressed
  • jealous

other than that i'm alright.

oh yes. i can be quite vain too. 

 

:P

get off the cross - we need the wood

no i'm not mad at anyone..the title's a reference to tori amos and i thought it was a clever line..i just happen to have time to blog mid-week this time. its thursday the 13th of december 2007. updates?
 
1. IAIN'S BIRTHDAY
 
...was a few days ago. so happy birthday iain :) had a nice dinner out that night at sharing planet. its a really nice, quiet place for..uh, eating. its small but thats kinda what makes it very charming. PLUS because it was iain's birthday, we got a 10% discount off everything. pretty sweet eh?
 
so, if you're ever in kuching and wanna go somewhere somewhat secluded and quiet, that serves good food and you just dont wanna go someplace overrated like the junk or the LIVING ROOM (BOOOOOOO) or God FORBID, coffee bean, head to sharing planet. thats IF You know the way there ;)
 
plus i got to wear my new dress that night. :D
 
2. THE DAILY MOOOOOOO
 
after the dinner we headed to the daily moo and when they found out that it was iain's birthday, they gave him one buck worth of those milk sweet things that they KNOW he likes (he bought 2 the night before) and the owner gave him a free cookie. the night before that we got free cookies..and the night before that too. that means we got free cookies 3 nights in a row.
 
i like the people there. they take time to greet you when you come in and i miss that very much. yes i know i'm gushing about this little shop but hey, you've got to go there and give it a shot.
 
lets see...in the daily moo... they have australian wine, new zealand cosmetics, german mulled wine, french cafe accordion music, malay food, english tea...and its all in kuching! i really hope they stay open. i like that place far too much.
 
3. HAIRCUT
 
i've been wanting one for a long time now and i just had my hair trimmed just now. frankly speaking....i dont like it. i didnt realise it at the shop just now but now, looking at it, it sucks. 
 
i know if i were to ask iain's opinion he'd say "looks alright" or something along those lines.
 
I DONT WANT ALRIGHT.
 
I WANT IT TO LOOK NICE.
 
UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG GGGHHHHHHHHHHH.
 
more length needs to be taken off. and because its so thin at the ends, it just looks fucking dead.
 
BLEEEAAAARRRGGGGHHHH.
 
thats it - hair's gonna be clipped up far more often from now on.

weekly update i guess...

seems as though i only update on sundays now..oh well. time to do a list as to what i wanna update on.
 
1. LONG LIVE SLINKY MALINKY!!
 
my kitty cat was poisoned last week. i think one of my neighbours left some rat poison or poisoned food out to kill the rats they have. see the thing is, they have all these pipes to do pipe works (and i mean heavy duty pipe work, not your household plumbing type). so there's lots of little micey's hiding about here and there. they used to live on the other side of my house and now they bought and moved into the other house beside mine. and they took their micey problem with them too. good god. and they try to get rid of the mice by poison. as opposed to keeping a cat.
 
consequence of this action: 3 stray cats have died (on my house compound at that) and my kitty cat got poisoned. he's still alive, but is will weak. he was a lot weaker last week but he's slowly regaining his strength. he cant stand up properly yet, and has lost a lot of weight. he was a very healthy cat before this but now he's all bony and his fur is falling out. poor slinky.
 
i call him slinky cause i thought his body was so long and so heavy...he's not fat, i think its a lot of muscle. so he's slinky.  
 
maybe in a few weeks he'll be back to his slinky malinky self.
 
2. THE DAILY MOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
thats the name of a cute little shop of sorts in town. its quite new and guess what? they've got stuff from auckland! K road to be precise. the misery boutique!! god damn. i've gone past that shop but have never gone in. i mean come on! its called the misery boutique.  so...they've got pretty yummy cookies and stuff. mostly imported from australia and new zealand. OOOHHHH THE COOKIES THAT WE GOT FREE LAST NIGHT! just because iain was being mr nice guy. i miss cookies like those. they remind me of the ones that i used to get in the bakery across the road from railway.
 
anyhow, the daily moo is too cute a name not to be curious about. so if you're in kuching, go down to wisma phoenix (opposite the secret recipe) and check out the daily moooooo.
 
oh yes, they sell THE DAILY MOO T-SHIRTS TOO! how cute is that??
 
there's health food on sale, there's a cyber cafe in the back, its part a convenience store, CHECK OUT THE LOTIONS AND STUFF ON SALE! (the ones from k-road. i am SO going there when i get back to auckland), and i think the upstairs is going to be a bistro or something. 
 
its very quaint and the staff are quite nice.
 
i mean come on....how can you not want to see what a place called THE DAILY MOO is about?
 
the daily moooo....the daily moo moo
 
3. THE ENCHANTED
 
if you havent watched this movie, go ahead and do it. its worth it and its really all good fun. also, check out hairspray.
 
4. CONTACT LENSES
 
i asked an optometry shop thing how much contact lenses would cost me. and she said for my degree it'd cost RM 260 for a 6 month supply and they'll throw in another box...which makes it 7 months worth. divide that up and it'd come up to about RM 30++ a month. not too shabby eh? i dont know if i should get it tho, probably will look around and compare prices and what not. would be great if there was a place with a price beat guarantee wont it?  
 
5. TWO NEW MALLS? 
 
KUCHING...my hometown has long suffered from a strange disease. NO-MALL-TITIS. strange eh? people here just tend to head to west malaysia or singapore or wherever for major shopping. and apparently by december 15th a new mall will open, and in january another one will open too.
 
ok....
 
now get this.
 
one of those malls
 
will open
 
5 minutes away from my house.
 
walking time.
 
they're rushing to finish it tho. and as a result there's a HUGE jam at that road in front of my housing area.
 
maybe i'll be a mall rat :P
 
6. HAIRCUT??
 
have yet to get round to that. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!
 
ok. everyone...
 
have a good week wherever you are.

am i capable of that?

if you know me very very well, or have known me long enough, then i guess you'd know that when things annoy me, THEY CAN REALLY RUIN MY DAY. it can become an obsession and unless i find a way to distract myself, or something else comes up, i can obsess about it long enough to get frustrated over it (when i cant find a way around it) to want to kick something. either that or i end up curling myself up into a foetal position in bed and moping about how i want to kick something because of the said obsession.
 
recently it was my eyeliner. i needed to buy new eyeliner but the type i usually use and have been using for the past 2 or 3 years cant be found on shop shelves anymore. WTF?? i mean, it served me well. i like the brush and the ink was great. and now i cant find it! BOO HOO!!!! i thought i found a replacement for it, but to my GREAT dismay, it was nothing NEAR what i wanted. the only reason i bought it was because they didnt have a tester for it and i was hoping it was like what i had before. what BS! so i got all upset about it and felt so sad that i couldnt find the eyeliner i wanted that i DID curl up in bed and moped about for a while thinking of kicking something.
 
the next day i found my eyeliner (at twice the price, but i was willing to pay for it) and whoopdeedoo, i'm happy again :D
 
lessons to be learnt here:
  1. do not buy makeup of any sort unless they have a tester or you'll end up wanting to kick things.
  2. do not make me upset or i will end up wanting to kick things.
  3. either that or i'll just curl up in bed wanting to kick things.
so thats the story.
 
has anything annoyed me today yet?
 
mmm.....yes :D
 
do i want to kick things yet?
 
i did a few moments ago.
 
wanna share what annoyed me to the point of wanting to kick things?
 
mm..i'd rather not. not now at least. maybe if it were to get any worse. then i'll kick things. OR better yet, i'll KICK THEM ON FACEBOOK. next best thing right? or settle for a poke.
 
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA HAHA!!!

NEW MAKEUP!

so yesterday was an absolutely horrible day for several reasons. for one, i went looking for new eyeliner and i could NOT find the type i've been using for the past few years. its MAYBELLINE, but for whatever reason, that TYPE of eyeliner does just not seem to be on the shelves anymore.
 
iain's bugging me, i stop now.
 
i edit this another time.

happy december

ah december...the last month of the year. christmas gatherings, new year's eve, iain's birthday, and if you're in kuching, PLENTY OF RAIN. not that i mind so much, cause otherwise it'll be really humid.
 
i noticed i've been blogging less these days. reason being i'm not home enough to blog. i know i can update elsewhere, but its doesnt feel the same. i dont feel like i can let go as much (if i do) on this bloggie.
 
its been a great week tho. met up with some friends i havent seen in ages, had a fun night last night, did some shopping (again) etc...
 
ai lin was back in town this week, and left for sydney today. i didnt get to say goodbye :( but at least we managed to meet up with some other old school friends for dinner and then some drinks after that. for some odd reason, whenever the OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS gang is having a gathering, we end up being the noisiest lot wherever we are. i have a theory about this - OLD HABITS DIE HARD. you know how in school when there's no teacher in class, you somehow manage to make SO much noise? well, we still talk like that when we meet in a group. we're practically shouting across the table and LAUGHING WAAAAY out loud. i think its great that we still keep in contact and meet up when we can. although i must say, so many of us are doing accounts and stuff to do with that! I'M IN EDUCATION :D proudly sponsored by the rakyat's money :P
 
its a bit daunting when people start talking about the cost of education. i know its a huge amount, and i am a government sponsored student (fully sponsored..living costs included) so sometimes the amount of money going into ME is extremely mind-boggling. 
 
i'm kinda glad i'm not doing something like accounts either. i think i'd shrivel up and die...i mean, with language teaching i was already complaining so much. with education papers, i get to argue and what not. and i really feel that my understanding of society is enriched at the end of the day, and in my opinion, shouldnt that be the final product of education? besides the obvious fact that i AM doing education as a course major, i'm talking about the general product of education. isnt it supposed to be about providing equal opportunities for people so that they can better themselves and then contribute to the society around them so as to benefit everyone? i'm not saying my course is better than other courses here, but what is the point in getting an education if at the end of the day you cannot understand how the world around you works and what you can do to facilitate change. (yes i felt like throwing in a big word) isnt the basic principle of education around the idea of social justice? equal opportunities for all? if at the end of your education you cannot fit in to society (hmm..social retard? :P) or cant think of ways to contribute, then i suppose you've gained book knowledge only. whoopdeedoodah and lets hand you a piece of paper saying you know things enough to get a job. but there's more to life than just work (YES, ITS TRUE!!) and the things in life that give it meaning are the interactions you have with people and the choices you make. at least i think so. and if after many many many many years of toiling away at uni/college/institute of higher learning you still dont realise that, then what was the point of studying at all?
 
i'm sorry, but i just dont agree with people who study and at the end of the day cant carry out a decent conversation with you OR argue their point of view when there are disagreements. (ARGUE in this context meaning the ability to explain coherently and provide examples as to why he/she/they think that way WITHOUT getting too emotional WHILE respecting my point of view which differed from his/hers/theirs in the first place....in other words, the acknowledgment that other people dont need to think the way you do to get along and with whom you can enjoy a nice banana chocolate smoothie/tea/beverage of your choice in a place like BING/place of your choice on a nice wednesday afternoon)  
 
WOW what is with today's entry??
 
in other more uplifting news, rachel is starting her new job this MONDAY! congrats to her, and all the best in the new job. we had a celebratory dinner last night which was not too bad (if you forgive the strange (and strange is putting it nicely) decor of THE LIVING ROOM, bad service and ridiculously priced seafood. AND The very peculiar mug they used to serve hot chocolate) and headed to links after that for some cheap cocktails (hello blue margarita) and some good times. plus we all looked pretty pretty too ;) so despite the scuffing on my red shoes (sad face) and the fact that i broke a toe nail, i had tons of fun last night. met some people i havent seen in a while either. i dont have anything to say about him (in particular) except maybe...that he's gotten a leeeeetle eenseey weensey bit fatter. nonetheless, it was still nice to see them again. all in all it was a great night.
 
i wish they had shooters here. or at least i KNOW where to find a shooters. oh no...i think i've forgot what some of my favourite shooters are called..NOOOOOOO!!! then again, i havent been near bars very frequently either.
 
ok. i think thats it for now. its raining again today, and i dont exactly have plans, so for now i'll just stay in my room listening to music and photoshopping some of the pictures from last night and the past few days before they go up on any blog or facebook. HURRAH for photoshop!
 
and happy december to everyone :)
