// life & rhymes of the simple yet confusing

there is still life for her after his death.

4:39 PM |

Listening to: Roundabout by Yes.
Feeling: neutral.

I just found out something extremely - I don't know how to put it in words - hilarious? And relieved, most definitely. I'm trying very hard not to make it obvious here 'cos I wouldn't wanna offend anyone. No, I'm not an insensitive blogger. Anyway, the story is *He is dating *Her now. OMFG. Seriously, of all people! I thought she would be smart enough not to fall for him. I mean, I didn't know he was after her but now that I know they're together, it kinda gave me the shivers. I was surfing Friendster and when I saw it, my jaw dropped to the ground. I know, I know it's none of my business but I can't help it. And this is my blog. I can be nosy and write about it, right? But still a "considerate" blogger, nonetheless. lol. I'm not making any sense. Let's just say, she has no idea what she has gotten herself into. All the best to the two of you. Really, I mean it.

I was supposed to have dinner with my friends tonight but Ze called this noon - and successfully woke me up - to say that she has other plans. So typical of her. But she'll make it up to us tomorrow night and even offered to give me a lift. I was too sleepy to argue so I just agreed and went back to bed. I think I woke up at 3 pm. Yikes.

I have finished reading PS I Love You. It was a good read. I was kinda disappointed in the ending though. I teared a little while reading some of the chapters. It brought back memories of my dad. Holly was lucky 'cos Gerry left her letters and helped her with her grief. But my dad left us nothing. He left me nothing. I don't blame him. Who knew that a simple quote, "I'll be home soon" meant he wouldn't be back at all? We weren't prepared for that. Not even him, I bet. And the book made me realize that we don't talk about him at home. It's not because we don't miss him anymore. It's also not because memories of him are fading. I guess it's just hard for my family and I to express our feelings? Whenever I do talk about him, I make people feel uncomfortable and eventually the situation becomes awkward. It even happens here at home. I guess that's why we don't bring the topic up anymore. Because when we talk about it, we can't help but tear or cry, especially myself. I guess we just wanna avoid doing that. We're not exactly the type of family where it's common to cry and discuss about our feelings together. We comfort each other in another manner. We just keep quiet and let him/her weep. And most of the time, that's what we want. Silence. A moment of silence to collect our thoughts and calm ourselves. And I'm glad to say I prefer it that way.

On a lighter note, I can't wait for the motion picture. Lisa Kudrow's in it!

Listening to: Dream Lover by Bobby Darin.
Feeling: festive

I've been taking quite a number of pictures with my digicam but I never really uploaded them. Here are a few of them;

My mum and I. This is taken before our stay at the hospital.

The view from my mum's ward. Mehhh.

Bliss.

Yes, that was my mum's bed. I was tired, okaaaay?

My uncle, my siblings and I at Dome.

Mel came to visit! Along with Arthur and Eman too. I looked weird in this picture.

And this too. That's my best friend, Tiffany.

We were bored.

At the nail bar.

My mum will kill me if she knew I put this up on my blog.

hehe

We get free lollipops for having our nails done at Snips. Random.

This was taken on Wednesday.

Vincent and William, the sweet people who took turns carrying my bag.

We couldn't find a nice X'mas tree but owh well.

With Tiff and Sue. I like the washroom in Pavilion.

I went to Pavilion again on Friday.

My mum's skinnies are so much comfy-er than mine (Wednesday photos)

With Mel and her friends. Such nice girls.

I bought this seat cushion for my aunt. It's so comfy!

I was on my way back from the city yesterday when Sam texted me asking me to text him back if I wanted to know my exam results. I panicked, of course. And I immediately called him back. I was a bit surprised with my results. I wanted A's for Media, Culture & Society and Creative Strategy but since I kinda screwed up my final papers, so I knew it wouldn't be possible. sigh. But anyway, I got a B+ and B for the subjects respectively. The surprising part; A's for Advertising and Consumer Behaviour. Owh, and a B for Media Law. I've never been so happy about getting a big, fat B for a paper before! But this is Media Law and I thought I'd flunk. Typical me. I'm quite happy with the results but I need to buck it up for my last semester in January.

Enough of the sad stuff. Here's my Christmas/New Year wishlist! I doubt I'll be receiving these so I guess these are the stuff that I'll be buying for Chinese New Year. It's in February, by the way.

odm watch (my aunt?)
another big bag (my mum?)
green or red shorts (size S!)
(more) skinnies (UK size 6 or 8!)
oversized shades
baby doll tops

What do you want for Christmas?

I usually stay at home and watch the fireworks from my room's window or go out for a drink with my friends on Christmas eve but this year, we decided to go out for dinner. I can't wait for that. I'm pretty excited about Adele's party tonight too. I haven't seen my collegemates in awhile so yeah, it'll be fun. I'm going shopping with my aunt on Christmas day, dinner with a group of friends which I haven't seen in ages the day after and on Friday, I'm going shopping again with my cousin, Kok Hong. He's back from Japan. Woooot.

I don't usually go out since I'm very lazy. But you know how sometimes you just feel like seeing a lot of people all of a sudden? Especially the people you haven't seen in awhile. I guess maybe it's because I only have a week left of my holiday. sigh. Owh well...

Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a great one!

Listening to: Tom Waits by Fall of Troy.
Feeling: relieved.

It's been one hella week. For the past 6 days, I've been in and out of hospital. No, I'm perfectly fine. It was my mum. She had to undergo surgery to remove her uterus, known as hysterectomy. It sounds awful right? It's a commonly performed operation but that didn't stop my family and I from being worried. We were extremely anxious when my mum was in the OT room. My mum was in so much pain right after she woke up. She was thirsty, hungry and the stitches were killing her. So I slept in her ward since she couldn't wake up and such. I'm glad she's ok now. She was discharged on Saturday. She showed me her stitches a couple of days ago. Guess what? The doctor used buttons! There's the usual thread (is there another medical/surgical name for it?) and the stitches ended with two buttons on each side. It was kinda cute. lol. As I'm typing this, my mum just told me she doesn't feel sexy anymore. Jesus.

These kept me entertained during my 'stay' at the hospital:

Controversy. Ahhh.

Disturbing. Yum.

I'm sick and twisted. I can't deny it. I like anything gory. Books, movies, real-life crime stories, you name it. HOWEVER, one specific faithful morning when I was happily watching Chestnut, a nurse came into my mum's ward with a bucket on her trolley. The bucket reminded me of the KFC bucket, by the way. But anyways, she said that she'll be explaining about the removed uterus - which was in the bucket - and the seeds contained in it. If you knew me well, you'd have expected me to sit there with my eyes wide opened with anticipation. But noooo, my eyes were wide opened alright but I rushed out of the ward right after the nurse finished her sentence. I just didn't wanna see it!

I wanted to blog about the concert but I'm darn lazy now. Let's just say, it was the best night of my life. Maybe I'll post an entry about it when Hani and Ping sent me the photos. Yes, I don't have any photos because stupid me forgot my camera. Arghhhh!

I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. I think I'm going to trim it so I could keep it long. 'Cos right now, my hair's thick and well, I don't know really know how to describe the shape. It's poofy but since my hair's not that long, it looks somewhat like a mushroom. I want layers. Owh, I'm going for a manicure tomorrow too. Yippie. My nails look nasty cos I've been trying to keep it long for a french mani.

I pray to God that I won't have another disastrous haircut. Please, please, please!

Listening to: I'll Kill Her by Soko
Feeling: eager

I dreamt of Anberlin this morning. Random, I know. But it was a happy dream. Wish it was real. I was half-awake when I checked a couple of new text messages on my cellphone. One of them was from Mel. I didn't really read it properly until I saw the words, "I really need you!". I quickly made my bed, showered and got dressed in 10 minutes. Trust me. This is an accomplishment right here. I usually take long showers and I take centuries to get dressed. I was waiting for the rain to stop so I could take the bus to meet her in the city. And that's when she texted me and said her uncle has come to her rescue...

-____-

So anyway, Karen followed me home after our last paper on Monday. She stayed for 2 nights. It was nice having her over. Both of us and Tiff went to Sungei Wang and Pavilion on Tuesday. I nearly died when I saw Forever 21. I couldn't find it the first time I went to Pavilion so when I found it that day, I was bloody excited. It was freaking huge! They lost me for a moment and they had to call me on my cellphone to find out where I was. Tiff's mum came to pick us up after we were done shopping. We were so tired, we totally collapsed in the car. I came home to take a shower and waited for Arthur and Eman to pick fetch us to KLCC. Went to visit Mel at work and had dinner. Then, the boys decided to go out to take some pictures of the tower while Karen and I showed Mel our Crank Dat dance. Yes, I know the dance now! Lame, I know. But it was fun. lol.

Yesterday, Karen and I took the bus to Ampang Point because there was nothing to eat at home and I wanted to rent a book. We spent quite some time at Reader's Paradise 'cos there were too many books to choose from. It really was like paradiseeee. And I love the smell of old books. Anyway, I rented Vanish by Tess Gerritsen. The book was such a page-turner. Gerritsen is absolutely brilliant. Maybe it's the fact that she's a physician. That's why she wrote it with such great details. Or maybe it's just because I love gory crime stories. Whatever the reason was, I finished the book today. Apparently, she wrote a series of them with the same characters and such. I must find more of her books. I hope they have it at Reader's Paradise. Gahhh.

I'm going to the movies tomorrow. After God knows how long.

Listening to: Kill Her Off by The Ropes
Feeling: ecstatic.

I haven't been updating in awhile. I think. hehe. But this time, I have a reason. I've been really busy with my final exam - which is still ongoing actually. One more paper to go, baybeh! I just can't wait for Monday to come. This semester is probably the busiest and bitchiest semester I've ever had to go through. There wasn't a week of study break before our final exam 'cos we had to finish up our final assignments and presentations. We were in such a rush not because we procrastinated (ok, maybe a little) but there were just too many other assignments and projects until we had to keep delaying our work. Owh well, at least everything's over now. Most important of all, Mass Media Law is history! Wooooot. And a big 'thank you' to my friends for helping me through this crazy semester and keeping me sane.

Moving on to some good news; I'm going to watch My Chemical Romance live next week! I can't wait! The last time I went to a concert was in 2003 when Linkin Park came. I mean, let's face it, how often do cool performers actually make their way here to Kuala Lumpur? Rarely. They always end up in Singapore. Gah. It's a bit of a letdown though that Frank and Bob won't be coming on tour with the rest of the band. But I know I'll have a blast with Hani.

If you were a close friend of mine, you'd know that I actually kinda like that rap song, Crank Dat. I don't know why. I'm definitely not a hip-hop person and the lyrics to the song don't make sense. But the song's catchy. And the dance! lol. Mel said I'm obsessed with the song but I beg to differ. I mean, I haven't learned the dance yet so I'm not exactly considered to be "obsessed"? *grin* But I know I'll get sick of it soon.

But this version owns. Travis Barker is sick.

Have a great weekend!
