Bohemian Rhapsody

One day, when the sun shines brilliantly and the temperature is just right... :P

A Greek: You know what, as a matter of fact, I really don't like ******.. they have nothing better to do but ********...
An Italian: yeahh.. even the Italians don't ***** that much, and we can buy ****** anytime as long as we can still stand and ask for it...
A Malaysian: There were articles in The Guardian saying that they are going to lengthen the opening period of ***.. It will definitely get worst..
A Greek: They all come to Greece and ruin everything. That's why the Greeks are like Malaysians, we hang out and chill but we don't do that..

racist siot.. :P

Silver Lining 2

As depressed as I thought I was, things started to lighten up a bit when I started to study my laboratory stuff (Calorimeter manuals and a very long sheet of GLC printout je padahal pon). I remembered my new labpartner that (for the first time ever) I am pretty pleased with (as if I'm that perfect la kan). They say there's no second chance to a first impression, but hey, everybody deserve a second chance. This time, I'm glad I didn't put my hopes up too high.

There goes my 2nd entry for the day. heh.

Perfectly Numb

It certainly can't go any easier than this. This is how life works, but why do it kept on filling my head in times I needed my concentration the most? When everything else flows ever as smoothly, there has to be some rocks lying on the way, spicing up the journey. Eventhough it doesn't seem that spicy, but it bothers me. Why can't I get at least a decent week to enjoy and burden myself with present work, rather than something that might not happen yet?

"You can say anything, but at the end of the day it's the contract that counts." I'll have to agree with that.

Silver Lining

Eventhough I am already in London but my sleeping pattern is still very much as if I'm in KT. Woke up at 10 again, and ended up going to the market at 12 when the initial plan is to go at 9. ehek. As if.

Have been worrying about my lab session next week because my theme will be on Thermodynamics, and I can't seem to remember much of my Thermo last year. enjin lambat panas. Been promising myself to revise some of last year's subjects but always ending up watching my latest Korean drama downloads. ishk. In serious need of a booster on determination.

Determination to survive 9-5 everyday starting next week.

Destiny

phew! Finally, I am able to sit down quietly with my laptop, having more or less nothing major to worry about since I arrived in London a week ago. The house is great, internet line finally kick in, bills etc have been sorted out. The whole 3 months was a total silence, nothing much to record anyway. I did not do anything, not even work or at least flip my old notes. Became the bibik of the house, and made me realize what a superwomen my ibu and nenek and aunties are when they can juggle everything from cooking and cleaning and raising kids, and being a career woman on top of that. I was just an unemployed, a reluctant-but-paid-to-study student and still have the nerve to express exhaustion at the end of the day.

Next week my life will be all about labs, lectures and tutorials. The meeting yesterday with my personal tutor, Prof. Chadwick suggested that 2nd year is not the year I would want to 'take some time off'. It is claimed to be 'the worst year ever' and guess what, it's the year that I have to really perform to sustain my grades! Now that'll required a 'excellent time management' and if I worked hard last year, it has to be 'harder this year'. Now who is to be blamed if we are not having as many Msian jrs as compared to last year?

Anyway, when he asked me about what I am going to do during my social/spare time, I was unbelievably stunned by the question, and paused for a while.

"Oh, so, no socializing for this year? OK then."

haha, please improve your response time so that you won't look like the biggest nerd in IC.

Back to that topic, my next volunteering project will be with Oxfam, and still waiting for the answer from them. If everything goes well, I'll be at the Gloucester Rd's Oxfam shop every Wednesday evening and learn the 'secrets of the retail business' as what they claim.

Happy fasting everyone. :)
