happy chinese valentine's day/Dreams

Chap Goh Meh, that is..

Marking the fifteen day, and also the last day of Chinese New Year. A day where single ladies (so to speak) try to put a ring on it by throwing tangerines into the sea in hopes that their future mates will pick it up. I'd imagine some would like to do so over here, throwing oranges into the lake nearby, but seeing as it's still frozen, i doubt the effect of the power would be the same. Than again, wouldn't it be more effective to just throw an orange at the person you like (preferable aiming at the occipital region, cos that'd be more fun to watch) and grin away all cave-man like.

I'm not very chinese. I don't do anything particularly superstitious on Chinese New Year's eve let alone on the 15th day. But my friend and her boyfriend decided to go out for an authentic Chinese meal and i thought what the heck. I've nothing better to do anyway. Correction. I Do have things to do.. im actually in midst of a project of doing a medley of Michael Jackson's songs which has proven to be a task more challenging than expected but i'm all ready to charge it head on. But today, ah today, makes me feel like a deflating balloon.. I was trying to put together an outfit and when i tried searching for my white tie... i couldn't.. it just wasn't there. And that got me so frustrated that i turned my whole room upside down and much to my disappointment i still haven't found it. So i broke out a box of oreos and started stuffing myself with it, which than made me feel like a compulsive eater. I know this is completely random, but to stop myself from eating anymore, i sat down and watched Fame. Do i sound psycho, or is this completely natural and just happens to everyone? Ehh, who cares.

Which reminds me.. I wanted to jot down the dream i had yesterday this morning but it slipped my mind. I'm known for having weird, random, unrelated dreams. I once dreamt my friend came to me and said "Didn't know you know, Key, China had taken over Russia". Ahaa.... >_>''
Anyway i dreamt yesterday, that i was in Amsterdam. I was walking the streets, checking out the souvenirs and other shops, just having a swell time. When it was time for me to go home, I got onto a bus and asked it to take me back to my town in Selangor. Yeap, a bus from Amsterdam to Selangor (it made sense in the dream). Anyway the driver agreed, and with me were this old couple which got friendly with me along the ride. All of a sudden, i realised the bus was going through this glass tunnel which was brightly painted with pictures of angels and Greek Gods and Goddesses and then we came out from the other end, all i could see was this light. Shining so bright that you'd only imagine this was what heaven was like. I panicked because Dude, that's what not my city is like.. Anyway, i sprinted to the head of the bus and demanded to know where we were. And that's when the driver turned around, gave me a grin and said, "We're in Rome". -_-'' WHAT???

"what the hell am i doing here"

"sorry we had to kidnap you, but you wouldn't have came with us if we told you what we wanted you for"

"and what Do you want me for???!"

"we want you to represent us, to play... Dungeons and Dragons"

"-_-''' "

At that point of the dream i felt lost and well, i was well aware that the dream was getting stupid, so i decided to wake up. Still, it was a dream i wanted to remember, because, heck.. stupid dreams make the best stories, that and i love waking up to these kind of dreams feeling really confused, wondering where the hell i am.

That's why i love sleeping.. It takes you places. Now, at least i can say, an addition to the places i've been, I've also been to Rome, babeh.. =P In my dreams...-_-

P.S.:Please don't think me stupid/bimbo. I'm really just high from overeating at the Chinese restaurant. Cheers~

This is the life...

Lying down on my bed as im typing out this post.. Can't help but feel so relaxed. and also still exhausted. Mentally, i mean. Had a sleepless night again, trying to mug for today's exam. Barely made it through, but it all worked out great. Chatting with a friend who graduated last year,and hearing her complain about work makes me all the more grateful for what i have now. I love this student life. Ain't nothing like it.

Now that the black cloud over my head has passed, i can finally do all the things i've been meaning to do. Been refraining myself from everything and now there's nothing in my way. Woohoo.

Damn i'm still sleepy, but i know if i continue sleeping, i'd regret it. Nooo.. i have to live my life partying baby! Long weekend ahead, since it's Men's day and i get two extra days off! Woot Woot~

Let the good times roll!!

Exam's just a thing of the past, baby.. Just a thing of the past... ;)

Gong Xi Fa Chai 2010

Dawn of the year of tiger.. Another year has come around, and i'm still stuck here doing the same thing.. Trying to prepare for my surgery exam that i so conveniently put off before skidaddling to europe. Upon returning home (pfft, home it seems ) to Moscow, the very first thing i did was gave my laptop a hug, slight caress before plugging in it and letting it boot up while i prance around the room strumming Mikhaila ( my guitar). Tons of offline messages popped up, as i scanned each one briefly before stopping to one that made my eyes dilate with horror.

"Hey, don't mean to ruin your holiday, but thought i'd let you know that the next date for surgery exam is on 12th"

Boing!! I was literally stunned for that second, before going "ehh.. Whatever.."

Somehow, as time flew over the years, we tend to get less worried about exams and being pressured to do in on time, or the threats from the dean that it IS in fact the very last official date of the exam. Cos in the long run, we've all figured out, it's just a bunch of bull. Very much like the boy who cried wolf.. so to speak.. .. or something along those lines.. Annyyyywayy..I hadn't yet prepared myself to be going for classes yet, let alone doing an exam.. So screw it.. I skipped the first day of class, which was the day after i arrived and just spent the day being zoinked out.. I have no idea why, but upon arriving back in moscow, i just felt totally lost, and discombobulated as to where i was, or what i was suppose to be doing or anything else for that matter.. Guess i needed awhile, and slowly but surely like Stella , i got my groove back.. Still, i needed a whole lotta while to get back down to earth, cos i was literally sitting in the dark for the past week with nothing on but my table lamp, watching Ed the bowling alley lawyer.. (i missed Ed! :D ) I really needed that week off, for now... i'm like back in the zone babayy.. all geared up and ready to rumble *does boxing motions* It's now or never, i'm taking this exam on, mano e mano (yea, that's why i'm here blogging, right)

Nay, main reason i wanted to blog, it's so i dont forget my yesterday. That's right, people.. i successfully hosted my very own Chinese New Year party all by myself (mostly). I wrote out the menu, got all the stuff ( yea felt kinda rich enough to sponsor this on me own), and worked it all out.. Believe me, i was a nervous wreck though, praying the food would be enough. I felt like i under budgeted the food for the amount of people that i invited, but it was all good.. I mean, i was so worried in the beginning that i didnt even feel like eating till everyone had their share. Nothing made me happier than those three words uttered "I'm damn full"... Phew *wipes sweat* Somehow i felt that was the most hardworking i've ever been without being pushed for it, and i felt proud.. of course i'm back to being the lazy ole me again today and at least i can say, ehh at least i deserve it hahah.

I do hope however, the year of the tiger is on my side.. I mean i have no complains and i don't really believe in luck but i do hope for less complications and more excitement to fly my way and for my family. Remembering past events has really shown me that we've come along way, and it just occured to me that i still speak of my grandmother in present tense unconsciously, sometimes.. and i wonder if it's because i'm so far away that i've never really came to terms with her passing. But no worries, i Do believe this year, will be a great year ahead. And i'll do whatever it takes to make sure of it ;) Starting with this dreadful exam.. *sighhh*

back to the salt mines it is....

woooo hoooo..

off to amsterdam baybehhhh...
