Random Trip

Hi you all!!! I just did one of the most random thing ever!!! I went to London with 3 good friends on a whim. Hahaha. We just decided we wanted to go somewhere and so we took a train down at 4 in the morning without a place to stay. Though we did pack and tried to find a hostel before that. It was awesome but super tiring. I almost collapsed on the street while walking in the afternoon. But after snoozing awhile when the rest where eating helped. Hehe. Anyw, so shopping + super nice food (mainly) and finally getting a place in the Malaysian Hall. Just got back about 6 hours ago. Time to face reality and go back to doing assignments and studying. Urghhhh. But it was a good trip!!! =)

YES!!! The torture is over!!! For now...

Woohoo!!! Submitted my assignment and my plagarism score is way down low!!! Hurray for me!!! I don't need to re-do mine. YES!!! Now I can start off my list!!! Oh, but I'll have a nice long shower before going out for Japanese food to celebrate Huey Ping's birthday!!! Then after the yummy food, I'm gonna change into comfy PJs and sleep!!! Sleep till the next afternoon. Oh, the bliss of being able to get up and whatever time you like. YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Forgive my extreme exuberance!!! I've not had this luxury for more than a month!!! Thats a hell lot for someone who loves her sleep.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUEY PING!!!
HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!

Alright. I'm gonna go take a nice long hot shower and do a mask perhaps. Haha. Then time to change into something nice and make up properly. Next, delicious Japanese food will go into my mouth and into my yearning stomach. Mmmm!!! And finally...SLEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

What to do after more than a month of deadlines

Hi everyone. I've not updated for such a long time. No surprise there. But what I am surprised at is me updating NOW. I'm currently rushing to finish a 2.5k word essay which requires journals and such by 5pm tomorrow. Urgh. Looks like there won't be any sleep tonight either. Oh well. Typical me. I do wish I'd change though.

So, I was just thinking what would be top on my list after this Fri, and here is what came to my mind:

1. Sleep!!! (this is by far the most important!!!)
2. Shopping and eating Japanese/Italian food (I'd most likely go for both)
3. GYM!!! (I have been seriously slacking on this and I can see the changes)
4. Bake (I have been itching to bake some cake or cookies. Anything!!!)
5. Start the next assignment (not the loveliest thing to do after completion, but it prevents another last minute rush)

Alright. Back to my essay. Bye!!! =)

My first facebook status

Recently you might have noticed your friends using this new application called first facebook status or something along those lines, or maybe you've even used it yourself. Or maybe not. Anyw, I tried it and though the status it generated would have been something I would think I'd write, the date didn't telly. I mean I joined facebook in 2007, so why would my first status be 2 years later? Completely bogus.

So then, my friend commented on it and decided to set off on an insane task. To search for her first status by going to her profile and clicking "older posts" until she reaches her goal. Insane? Absolutely. Haha. Well she managed to do it in under an hour. Naturally, the procrastinator in me wanted to jump onto this idea immediately. But, I controlled myself and thought, well I'd do it once I'm done with all my assignments. *Sigh* However I'm not that disciplined, so that resolve all but lasted for 5 minutes. After which I started enthusiastically clicking older posts on my profile. The guilt finally settled in after about 45 minutes (well actually it started after the first 10 minutes but I just nudged it aside), and decided to continue the next day.

Which is today!!! And I did it!!! Guess what was my first status?

"sien and having a bad sore throat..."

I was like what the hell!?!?! THAT was my real first status? Seriously? Of all things I could have written like, "hello facebook world, look who's finally here!!!" or "Let's see how much better this is than friendster", I chose that!!! Oh my goodness. Haha. Nonetheless, it was good fun glancing through all the old memories on facebook. Makes me remember all the good times during college and the first few years of university.

So, are you going to find yours?

Be Thankful For What You Have

I was just looking at my facebook page and had a random urge to blog. So, about my title. Right now I'm having labs, and a lot of deadlines are coming soon. I have 6 deadlines coming in the next 2 months. Sounds crazy? To add to that, I have to start calling up pharmacies asking if they're interested in offering me a pre-reg (sort of like a housemanship for a year to get my pharmacist license) place after I graduate. Doesn't sound too bad right? But the thing is I have to call pharmacies in England, not Scotland (long story), AND fly down for interviews. OMG. I only have a week to do that before my lectures start on the 24th. This week I'm still having labs so I can't. Gosh. Crazy workload!!! Normally I would be absolutely stressed out (I am still stressed though) and be frustrated with everything. But if I stop to think, I actually am not in such a bad situation.

-I still have some time to finish my assignments and study for exams.
-I have the opportunity to actually work in the UK
-My labs are absolutely a breeze compared to the others
-My lab mates and lab supervisors are awesome!!!

Thats for my workload. And if I think more about my life, it gets better.

-I'm not all that bad looking
-I'm in reasonably good shape without much effort
-I have an awesome bf who's super devoted to me
-My bf's going to be a doctor
-I'm going to be a pharmacist and earn a hell lot more than some of my friends (though not all)
-I have a wonderful family and awesome friends
-I get to go back to Malaysia a lot more than most people
-I'm whole. No disabilities, allergies, sensitivities. I mean sure, I have some minor conditions(?) but it's not disabling and its seriously minor.

So I have it a lot better than most people. So sometimes you just have to stop and think of all the good things you actually have. Then you'll realise how good your life is. It sounds cliche, but really, compared to the children in Africa and people in countries at war, how bad can your life be?

I saw this saying by Kenzi, it's really cute:

"I think from now on, whenever I feel like life's too hard, I'll remind myself that at least I don't have to go running around trying to find and destroy horcruxes all while the most evil man around is trying to kill me and everyone I know. And then I'll feel loads better."

Haha!!! It's referring to Harry Potter btw, if you didn't already know.

So take a look around you, and try to enjoy life, as it is as beautiful as you make it. =)

Winter Break

Hahaha. This is so ironic. The post before my make up post was stating that I was back in Glasgow after summer break. Now I'm going back to Malaysia for the winter break. Oops. An entire 3 months without a post. Sorry!!! All I have to say about these 3 months is that, having friends around really makes a huge difference!!! Honestly. I have to thank Charmaine for that. She's been my bestest best friend here in Glasgow. Until we're being called "host and parasite" or inseperable twins. Hahaha. I love it!!! Well, of course there are other friends besides her. The ever awesome friend Kelvin, Ching Yee, Nicole Liew and Woon, Chooi, and the rest of the "SNSD" as they like to call themselves. I'm apparently included. Hahaha. So it was all good fun.

I used to hate my room, as its the smallest room in the entire flat, as opposed to my previous room which was the biggest. But I've gotten used to it. In fact, I'll miss my hostel room when I graduate. I'll miss Glasgow for that matter. I've always said I hated the weather here and always complain about Glasgow, and keep wanting to go back to Malaysia. But in all honesty, I'll miss UK a hell lot when I'm back in Malaysia. So lets hope that I'll get a pre-reg place in the UK so I can extend my stay for another year.

Well, I've gtg actually. I've got stuff to pack. I'm leaving for the airport in 2hours time. I hope the flight will be safe and not delayed. I really hope I can sleep in the plane. There's a 10hour transit in Dubai. OMG. Thankfully I found a friend who's on the same flight as me. So hopefully it'll be good. See you in Malaysia!!! =)

Fat Balm in Cherry
Ok, this is my FAVOURITE item!!! It smells like cherry and its as red as cherries!!! I didn't expect it to have much colour because its a lip balm, but the colour is actually gorgeous!!! Plus it's not that dark at first so you can vary how deep a shade you want. AND, you can use it as a blusher!!! Super handy!!! It also comes in Strawberry, Raspberry, Toffee, Frosting and Mint!!!

See why it's called fat?

Berry, Sexy Lips!!! Plus it can used on your cheeks!!!
