Trouble makers

As if my holiday is meant for that.

Now my job after waking up in the morning is to clear the shit of SQUIRRELS which is all over my garden!
Ever since last few weeks, the little creatures have seem to go out of their mind, creating 'designs' all over our nice clean tiles! ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! They are CRAZY!!! And almost every morning, we gotta clean after them, the floor, the windows, the laundry lines, and even the laundry left out there overnight! This seems even worse than taking care of a baby! It's like those times when we had to chase after a rat all over the place in our old house!!

Then, now, it's the dear printer's problem again. It just loves to give me problems. And everytime, it is I who is responsible to fix it, as if I am to blame for its misbehaviour! Why why why...... What the hell is wrong with it, I still can't figure out...

Tomorrow's Wesak, I do hope the squirrels do give me a break!

SIENness...

1 week passed. Can't believe I only have a week of holiday left.

And the week spent? So much of ups and downs. Was at my lowest of spirit on Monday. Got mental attacks from a person so dear to me. I hate it. Yet it will happen every once in a while. Almost always when I'm on holiday. As if my holiday is meant for this treat. It's hard to figure out who is really wrong. Still figuring...

Tuesday and Wednesday. Tough days. MORE renovation to the toilet and tank and pipes. Clean the WHOLE house continuously. This is what you call SIEN~!!

Tried filling my other hours with Dhamma studies. Often get distracted though. So glad Dad asked about my Abhidhamma book! That means he's willing to explore more about Dhamma! I've always wanted to 'expound' the Dhamma to my parents, which is the biggest dana towards parents. But obstacles appear in the whole process, making the already tough task much slower.

Anyway, I got my YMBA certificate for last year's exam! Achieved a Distinction!! The important thing isn't the piece of paper, but the things learnt from it. About life. About death. About rebirth. Impermanence. Unsatisfactoriness. Selfless. Kamma.
Probably, as suggested by a friend of dad, I can give my service to Sunday school! Haha... we'll see...

Mom bragged about career again. About how good accountancy is. About how smart XXX sisters are to choose the course. It seems like the everyone else who have nothing to do with accountancy can pack their bags and leave this planet.

I wish I could. But only after attaining Nibbana.

Hurt

Again!

While playing badminton, slipped and fell sitting on the ground. Which was ugly.

Then, later got a nice basketball BOUNCING off my HEAD!! Yet it didn't hurt much, just shocked on how the ball miraculously landed on such a 'right' place.

Worst of all, while playing basketball, the ball hit my hand in a weird way and so caused my a SPRAIN in my finger!! Thought it was nothing at first, but gradually the joint got swollen and red. Then it became a sausage... haha!

And so, most of my chores are affected. I'd have a hell of time if my exam wasn't over. Had some trouble trying to play guitar in class. Yet I can still be blogging here. I use TWO fingers! Haha!!

Looks like I was quite unlucky for the day. Firstly, was surprised when I was charged RM2.00 for a bus ticket. The word 'UTAMA' costs more!! The company really knows how to make money. Then comes the unfreaking yet annoying accidents. Later on, I gotta wait more than half an hour for a bus. Public bus is a nuisance, really.

On this very day, Rynn Lim will be at Astro office shooting for a tv show, and at night he will be attending AiFM concert at Genting. As usual, I'm not able to attend. So sorry for Siokyean who almost got the chance to attedn the shooting...

Talking about the tv show, it's a new program on Astro which deals with entertainment news. The emcees are newbies. Since the program was at its first episode, there were many mistakes here and there. Until the fact that, they STOPPED Rynn from singing and playing guitar when he was just about to enter chorus part!!! Such an idiotic situation. It's realy not Rynn's fault or microhpone problem now. It's the emcees' problem!! Wonder what in th world they are rushing for.

Another thing was, when John called in to say some words of congratulations, they hurried him off the line so soon!! My goodness. I was shocked then, how unprofessional they are.
Hello? Is that how you treat artists? It's your program but... RESPECT THEIR PROFESSIONALISM!!!

these days

The final days... ... to relax.

Anyway, not too relaxed. The are a whole lot of things which I planned to do during the holiday, but when holiday comes, I go lazing around...

Anyway, the most important thing is, start revision on YMBA exam. Or I will not have enough time when the exam approaches, especially since I'll start degree course next semester. And because of this exam, I will not have the chance to perform during the Parents' Day. Well, kinda feel sorry for them, but then, this exam came first.

Looks like it's more of a revision of MBE Senior 1 which I sat for 3 years ago. Hopefully it won't be too tough. Lots of stuff like cittas, cetasikas, Niyama, 5 Aggregates, filial piety, downfall of man...... whew! That certainly will keep me busy.

Thought I would look up some notes about engineering from eAdvantage. I wonder if it will benefit me, or just waste my time! Hehe... I'm not very smart, you know!

Then, planning to watch a movie 《醒狮》 with my sis, since there seems no one else to date. Hins Cheung stars in the movie, that's why...haha. Though my sis is a fan of 吴振宇! Hah...

Rynn is back in Malaysia!! Though not officially for his album promotion, it's still a nice treat to his interviews on various radio stations! Miss him sooooo much!! Oh, adn found another fan of Rynn - Chooi Mun! Haha! DT, Hins, badminton, now Rynn!!! She asked me to help get get an autographed album, if I attend his autograph session. Sure I will, my dear! More chance to go upstage, and close to RYNN!!! :D

So glad that the six formers are having activities again tomorrow. But Kathleen will be arriving later, so hopefully Chooi Mun will play with me. Haha... can't wait!

YIKES!!

One more paper to go. Yet I seem to be celebrating already.

Spent the weekend like a crazy headless thing. Saturday. Went to Chong Hwa (probably the last time) for sports with the six formers. Played badminton like I've never played before. Somehow, thankfully, I managed to revive a little little little bit of skills after the long 2-hour of game. It was fun playing with C Mun, who hit the shuttle high! Hah, she the only gurl who plays a bit like me, besides Ley Ley. And so 'ngam key' with me! (Just found out that she too adores Hins Cheung!)

Then went on to basketballing with Kathleen. Juen and T Ching came along, seemed to play, but were actually really busy people......with their handphones. Lack of players, but still played like hell. Now that's fun! Exhausted yet much better than jogging which is one word... SIEN!!
Read a magazine mentioning exercise makes the brain grow smarter. AM I a whole lot smarter now?? Wahahahaha......

The rest of the day, my hand was energy-less and CRAMPED but still managed to play the guitar. With my eyes closing any moment. Then the nest day, my whole body goes stiff. As if I gotta pay for all the excitement.

Watched the semi-finals of Asian Badminton Championship that afternoon. Surprisingly (they lost the first game) and thankfully Tan Boon Heong and Koo Kien Keat marched into the finals. However, they still lost to their seniors Lee Wan Wah and Chong Tan Fook, who are higher-ranked than they are. To say the truth, their skills seem to have dropped, which is quite disappointing of course. (Hope they aren't washed away by fame.)
Anyway, it's never always a stream of successes on the road.
For everyone.

Had to return from Brickfields after Dhamma class at Sunday School by ourselves. Stopped by KL Sentral to buy lunch, burgers which cost RM5++... MD of course. Meanwhile, mom and dad and a cousin were having lunch with a friend's family. A meal very expensive... so expensive. RM1000+!!! A 10-person course dinner! My goodness, I could have bought a nice new handphone or half a new PC with that!!!

It feels strange when people keep asking me about my future. Feels dizzy thinking recalling the books I've flipped through in library. I really hope I can handle it then. Then I'll have to face a whole class of guys. sienzzz......

Jin started to make me teach her some notes on guitar. Hehe... probably influenced by Rynn!

Sardine

Sardines are nice to eat, but not nice to be.

Especially when the LRT station is so packed with rows and rows of people and you have seen many trains leave without you and when you do not even know where the queue you are in leads to.

Especially when the LRT is AGAIN in UNSCHEDULED DELAY which have been a common 'treat' ever since I traveled to Cheras and back.

The last place I want to be is the LRT and LRT station. When my relatives come down to KL from Kedah, they would brng the kids to have a ride in the LRT. But those little nieces and nephews never know my story. HAHA!

Sat for General Biology paper today. Almost fainted during revision. Wondering why we had to study so much about xylem and phloem and germination and photosynthesis bla bla bla when... WE ARE NOT PLANTS??!

And sometimes I do wonder, since we humans are studying exploring so much about the world, history and all, do animals too have their own books and library collections? Hehehe... they do have their languages, so do they 'write' them research down?

Halfway through the paper, it started raining cats and dogs and rats and frogs... distracting noise.
And suddenly a huge BOOM in front of the exam hall!!! The thunder STRUCK our building!!!
Nice show... then went on with my paper...

Reached home at about 7.25pm. It was still drizzling.

我在淋雨中...

Alien again

Went for blood donation today.
Almost forgot that my blood vessels are 'abnormally' located. Alien again...

Yup, my blood is still red.

Get sleepy easily. The fact that I have to digest and absorb the tons of Biological terms and the unfinished report.
AND accounting, computing studies, probability & statistics.
Ain't much compared to degree courses, I know...

And thanks to the Biology lecturer who changed the date of our last practical (and I did not know...REALLY) that I saved 6 hours (3 hours transport and 3 hours lab time) which can really be spent more meaningfully!! Anyway, thanks to the guys who did the experiments...

Final Exam coming. Really should be studying now. But waiting for someone to send over the result. I'm still waiting... damn.

Cheng Beng

Apparently, cheng beng this year was much celebrated.

Proofed by the traffic jam on North-South HigHway in the wee hours of 2 AM!!

Right, and I reached home only at 3.40 AM!! It was already jammed some distance after the Ipoh toll. Dad had to exit the highway and chose the trunk roads, or we would still be stuck there and only reach by 5 or 6 am!
And, I was in U by 7.10am! Coz my dad had to send YZ to UKM. At least I did not need to take the LRT...

This cheng beng was quite a different one. Firstly, my cousin was hospitalised for bladder infection. (Wasn't necessary to be in private hospital, which really eats the patient's pocket!) And so, her parents (one of whom I've 'mentioned' earlier) weren't around. doesn't matter though ;p

On mom's side, grandpa and grandma's cheng beng was on Sunday. different from previous years, this time the sunshine wasn't too hot. No need of playing hide and seek with the sun! Ahaha!

Got to spend the afternoon at Star Parade since we were only leaving at night. We had LAKSA!!! Hmm... superb! Such a heaven for delicacies! Oh too bad, we won't be returning til end of the year...
