mel got me a birthday cake yesterday. :) she was supposed to attend the 8am complementary medicine and health lecture with me but she couldn't wake up in the morning. i found out later that it was also partly because she wanted to get the cake for me by the time i got off class. aww.

apparently, there was this big conspiracy among wayne, chaz and blithely ( Read more... )

in an undisclosed number of hours from now, i turn 21. i've been told that i musn't say the exact time of my birth in the (un)likelihood that someone uses it to cast a black magic spell on me. so this is just in case an evil somebody out there is waiting to turn me into a toad ( Read more... )

i couldn't stop thinking about going home for the last days now. i keep seeing images of my bedroom, my neighbourhood, the coffee shop a few blocks behind my place i can always count on for a good cup of kopi. it feels like a long time since the night i packed my bags, as eager for this holiday as a 5 year-old with candy in my hands. for one weird ( Read more... )

it's almost 4am and i can't bring myself to go to bed because i had to go get myself hooked on online gin rummy and i'm SO losing. i was holding a purple rating, which is the third highest you can go and now i'm back to grey and that's the lowest you can go. damn. so here i am, at 4 in the morning, playing yahoo! gin and reading my book in between ( Read more... )

i just had a long talk with wayne over certain things i've been really upset about, some stuff about my family. i don't want to put everything up because it's really personal. yes what irony this being a diary of sorts after all ( Read more... )

3 months. 3 glorious months of holidays. actually if you take out the 2 weeks before school starts for the mad rush for modules and days out here and there for this and that, it's really 2 months and a little over but who's counting ( Read more... )

it's been a week of exams and i wanted to write something in an LJ entry on the past week that i've stayed away then i realised that nothing much else has been happening besides studying for the exams. hmm... i did get to eat lots of Auntie Mary's cooking though. she's a fab cook. i did get a nervous breakdown somewhere in the middle of the week.

i haven't really felt like writing since wednesday. that was the day i took my driving test for the second time and for the second time in a row, very successfully flunked it. ah well. i could blame it on the drizzly weather or the villainous nature of my tester and how he made me feel littler than the littlest person on earth when i left the ( Read more... )
