Random

This post is really going to be like the title..very random,covering everything that has happened since i last blogged or is happening.

My house renovation is finally going to end soon.Kitchen cabinets are getting fixed,the cupboards for the bedrooms are coming together too..Just the little touches.My room will hopefully be done by next week cos the only thing missing is the cupboard now.It is getting custom made and is suppose to be ready on Sunday.My bed received a new coat of paint and it looks brand new now.Can't wait for everything to in place and see the final result.

Grandma came to visit last week.It is still difficult for her to accept the passing of my uncle but we try our best to talk to her.I spent the first night talking to her till almost 2am,listening to her 'what if' and 'why'.After the first night,we (siblings and i) decided to use another approach which is to play mahjong to distract her.The first night of mahjong went well.No money involved,just playing for the fun of it.The following nights,grandma suggested betting a little to make it more interesting.So that's what we did for 2 or 3 nights till early in the morning.Mummy would wake up in the middle of her sleep and tell us to stop,but we still carried on.How naughty of us and grandma... =P

If you have seen my post before this,there is one about the pets we have at home.One of them is our first dog,Brownie.He is now more than 15 years old and is almost completely blind.He walks into things especially during the renovation.Recently,we noticed that his legs are becoming weak and he pants too much.It is heart breaking to watch him suffer like this but it is equally as bad to consider putting him to sleep.We haven't decided on what to do,just trying to be more aware of his needs and making him as comfy as we can.

My results from June's exams are out.I am really very glad i made it this time.With the first time failure,demotivation,renovation,falling sick a few days before exam...there is nothing more i could wish for.I am now left with 2 papers and i will be done with ACCA for good.That means i have to start preparing and focusing on my goal.

Last week,i attended my dance class again.It is really amazing how i never fail to enjoy myself when i am there.So much laughter especially with the uncle (80 years old) who dances better than me.We would partner and then he would teach me new steps he learned from Youtube.When class ended,i had a chat about dancing shoes with a girl who has been there for quite some time but we seldom talk cos she usually speaks Mandarin and i am not good at it.The uncle felt quite left out cos i would always talk to him and we would walk down to the car together.But it was all okay after that.He even teased about us driving him to Penang and treating him to a meal there.

My current craze is nail polishes.I have been getting at least one a week.Like painting my toe nails see how they turn out.When i am back home,even persuaded mummy and grandma to let me do it for them.

I have been playing badminton quite often recently since i am around when my parents play.So,i can join them and exercise a little instead of being a couch potato at home.It is also sort of a family time since if my brother is back,he joins too and after badminton,we usually go for our dinner.Because i play badminton nowadays,my brother got a new shoe and mine is about to kaput..i have been looking around for a new one and i just can't take my eyes off this.Love the colour!

I am kind of bored seeing myself in this same hairstyle so i have been considering to curl it.Erny and sis are also thinking of doing it so we might get them done together.But,i am really afraid that i will not get used to the look and might think that i have just wasted my money on something really unnecessary.What do you think?Should i try or not?

Sis and me have created a record of using all the public transport in around 6 hours..It started from plane,then bus,ktm komuter and finally taxi.That's our way of travelling when don't drive and still want to save money,but it is VERY TIRING.

I think that's all...Better study a little now before i start feeling sleepy.

B for BORED

I really don't know how i managed to survive last semester staying in KL.I think it's because of the long hours of lectures that made the day seemed so short at that time.Now,each second feels like an hour and what more a week.I really can't wait to be back home,where i have many things to occupy myself with.

I thought KL will be VERY INTERESTING,many things to do but it looks like i am wrong.There is nothing much to do except to eat and shop.If you don't wish to spend money,then what you can do is stay at home and stare at the wall.

I know i am suppose to be studying but i just can't.I have so much energy left each day cos i have not been moving much,that it builds up and now i am reaching a point where i feel like exploding.Too much energy,no where to use it.

I am planning to go out and burn some of my energy tomorrow but after considering all the possibilities,still end up with shopping,watching movie and makan.Looks like there is only these few things to do in KL...

Rain and shine

Rain and shine,

I am as confused as the sky,

Not sure of what i should do,

Not sure of how i should feel.

Hopefully,

There will be rainbow,

Waiting for me,

When all these ends.

Updates

Just realised that it has been awhile since i last blogged.The lazy bug is getting to me nowadays.I have been doing things,but not sure what they are.Time just seems to fly and before i know it,another day is gone.

Major house renovation is completed.So grateful cos the mess and the dust after that was terrible.Days of cleaning,wiping and there is still a layer of white powder.The last part of renovation left is the kitchen and also getting the new areas set up.Besides those,we are enjoying the 'new house'.

Because of the renovation,i have my OWN room now.So happy but at the same time a little sad cos i no longer get to chit chat with siblings especially my sister before going to sleep.But,it is okay.Now we can 'visit' each other.I am looking forward to getting my room all set up as now,it only has a bed.So,there is wardrobe,table and little details here and there before i can really call it MY ROOM.Can't wait,can't wait.. (will try to remember to post a photo of my room when it is completed)

As for my studies,i am currently self-studying.I am SUPPOSE to start early so that i won't suffer from panic attacks before exams,but here i am doing everything besides studying.I allow myself to come up with so many excuses and end up stuck at nil progress.I seriously think i should start studying tonight.A small,slow start is better than none right?And gradually build the momentum.

Dancing dancing came to an end again.I have no choice but to stop cos i can't make it for the class.So sad...Hopefully my body will remember all the moves and when i continue in October,i can improve from there and not start from the beginning.

Oh..just to share.I am currently into Burt's Bees products.Loving the Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo.Erny introduced me to this brand when she was staying over at my place.I decided to give it a try cos have been searching high and low for a non-SLS shampoo.Most of the shops even those claiming to be natural seem to have that.This brand of shampoo is almost 100% natural,non-SLS and the smell is so nice.But,the downside of it is that,you need to use a conditioner after washing with it cos it leaves the hair a little dry.Besides that,no complaints for now.The lip products are not bad too while the lotion,i have yet to find out.When i first got it,it was only available in KL but now,there is a branch in Gurney Plaza Penang as well.So,if you happen to be looking for natural products,can give this brand a try.

Sorry

I am really...

SORRY.

Renovation

After the flood,parents have been considering about renovating the house.It was also time for the house to be a little bigger as everyone is growing up now.So,for months we have been planning,designing and thinking of ways to maximise the space.

Around April,the renovation finally started.It is really a MAJOR renovation neither is it a minor one.Mummy really became a super mom.She moved and arranged everything to fit into the space that will be available during the renovation.Cupboards,tables,drawers,beds...In a family of 5,you know how MUCH things we have.So ya,she did all those by herself cos my papa was busy at work while we (my siblings and I) were in KL studying.

Finally,when the semester ended,sis and me came back to help my mum a little.We didn't move that many things cos most of it was done,only the choosing of materials(tiles,doors,paints),those kind of things left.Though it seems easy and simple,but it still took us a lot of time,especially when sis and me were having exams.But somehow,we managed it.

A little about the renovation now.At first,we had the whole house to us,the work only started outside.But still,the rooms could not be used and the toilet.Slowly,the rooms were sealed and then upstairs and now we are left with a living room,master bedroom and also a bathroom.

Living in this 'apartment' (won't call it a house now cos of the space) is pretty interesting.Though there are some inconveniences such as using the bathroom and also privacy,but we still managed it quite well,maybe even got used to it.There is a joke now that maybe we might just continue to seal the house this way and rent out the back of our house.

Some photos to show we are living...

Everyone would never imagine,us being able to cook without a kitchen.But guess what,my super mummy doesn't believe that renovation can stop her from cooking.

How are we sleeping?There is only a bedroom and a living room.So,mummy has arranged for my siblings and me to sleep in the living room,right in front of the television.The first few nights were difficult..mosquitoes biting,dogs barking,the small space..

Hmm..what else.Our things are all stored under big plastic sheets,to avoid dust collecting.Still there are when we opened it the other day,but slightly better than not doing so i think.It will be a massive cleaning and arrangement of things.

That's all i can think about right now.Will blog more about it maybe,when everything is complete.

Where?

Oh where,

Oh where,

Can my IC and driving license be?

I have search for you,

All over the place.

Day and night,

High and low,

But not a glimpse of you,

Can be seen.

SIEN!

2

Almost the same situation,

Happened twice.

How is that possible?

Didn't i learn my lesson after the first time?

Why torture me twice?

Why test me twice?

Now wondering if there will be a third...

Feelings

What you say and what you do is NOT the same.

Happy YET unhappy.

One less thing to think about.

If it's not meant to be yours,it will NEVER be yours.

When it's beyond your control,then just let it be.

Ahh...Just stop all these nonsense and get back to my books.All the other things will not ensure that i pass my exams,secure myself a job and start earning $$$.

My darling doggies,please don't let me have a heart attack when i open my eyes in the morning.

Committed

The person whom you choose to marry

is perhaps the single most vivid representation of your personality.

Your spouse becomes the most gleaming possible mirror

through which your emotional individualism is reflected back to the world.

....that choice tells us,to a large extent,who you are.
