Let The Countdown Begins


Today is 12th June 2012 and let the countdown begins? *wink*

I will be a year older in 6 more days and truthfully, I think this year is the worst year for me. All the mean-and-not-so-fun things are lined up just before I'm turning 31 and that is just simply greatttt! Not.

Let me list out 'em so we can have a look at it and decide how bad it will affects my life? Haha...
  • I am unemployed, therefore, it means no work for me (yayy!) but at the same time there is no money for me to spend on new shoes or fancy little knick knacks whenever I am in dire need of glorious retail therapies (yikes)
  • My final exam  for this semester falls on the 16th, 17th and 23rd of June (unfortunately - no parties for me this year, I supposed. As I will definitely be partying with zillions of law cases that I have to read for exam - well, pretty sucks I must say - Anthony vs Belle, Brendan vs Catherine *yawn*)
  • I have gained a bit of weight - which, at this stage of my life (in my 30s), I despise every additional pounds shown on the bathroom scale everytime I stepped on it and it is beyond worst than ever when what I do to stop it is, err... NOTHING. (I've got to do something to overcome this. I know. But, I am just too lazy. Any suggestions?)
  • My love relationship? Haha... This is undoubtedly out of the question! It's an unspeakable topic for me recently, since I have nothing to talk about. Perhaps, I was desperately looking for a job that I totally forgot all about this matter? One thing for sure, I am definitely going to find one great job then only I will think about getting myself stuck and tangle in a love relationship; pun intended.
In order to overcome this knotty and destructible problems of mine, I have come out with a list of things I wanted you to get them for me my birthday wishlist! 
  • Keating on Construction Contracts 9th Ed. - I know I have gone insane when an educational book is one of the item listed in the things-I-want! But this book cost about £400 for one book! 
  • A treat to hair salon - I have not done anything to my hair for quite a while now and I think my hair is hating me at the moment that sometimes I hear them talk among themselves how they despise me! 
  • A new mobile phone perhaps? - My Blackberry is acting up lately that I was so close of throwing it to a nearest bin only to realize that is the only phone I have. Haha... I sort of been contemplating to get an iPhone, but... hmm, anyone? *wink*
  • A new job? - Simple as that.
  • A manicure & a pedicure treatment - It is always fun to be pampered, once in a while? No? 
  • Cash - Yes. It is just not fun to be skint for so long. Trust me on this. I know. 
  • A pair of new  heels? - This too, has been a while.
  • A fare ticket to someplace in Europe? I missed Europe. I really do.
Well, that is all I could think of at this very moment. :) I will add in more when I have come across more things that I want! In the meantime, block your calendar - it's on the 18th June 2012. *wink*

Let the countdown begins!

It's My Day Off




Hi. It's my day off today. :) Books, talking to friends and back to books, and watching movies. Oh, and coffee of course. :)

Well, somehow... for no reason, I keep on accidentally banging my fingers all over the place. I did! And two of my fingers on both hand, (randomly...) are looking red and swollen.

Last night, I tried to trim my own fringe, (with the reason - there is no need to go to hairdresser. It's easy. I can do this on my own) and obviously... it looks way shorter than it should. I'm looking like a girl with an upside down bowl on top of my head!

I just ate my lunch aka dinner. Ginger beef with rice. And now I feel so sleepy, and would like to say "NO" to reading books and college work, but "YES" to lazying around and watching movies...do you think it's acceptable?

I got an email / message from my long lost best friend (from school years back!!). And I am so happy and excited. We were best friends since we were 15 years old, then when we're 23, we went to different direction. Somehow. Can't even think of why that happened. But today, I got a message from him, and I was so delighted! :) Welcome back, friend! :)

I am just tired. I think I need to have a cup of coffee. And perhaps, a movie? ;)

Good night! xxx

Counting The Days


Hey. A quick post for today!! :)

I have been busy with loads of reading books, clips from the internet and e-journals. It is all for my thesis. Somehow, I can feel that my eye is jammed! Crammed with words and more sophisticated words that they used to put up in books and journals. Those words and lengthy sentences, that somehow... after you reached the middle part of the whole sentence, you lost the whole point of the paragraph! :) Or maybe you don't, but I did! :)

So, I did the time-line for each chapters and proposed finish date, and somehow it seems like I only have 82 days to go before the final submission date! *nervous* Then, I also managed to find out that I will be leaving Ireland soon enough too! It seems like it will be less, or shall I say, approximately? 120 days left for me to be here, before I leave Ireland for good! :)

Did I not tell you about me leaving?

Well, yup! I am leaving soon. Right after I finish my final exam (which will be in May 2010), then, I will be off to Malaysia!! Hooray! No more selling soap for me! (not that I despise the job, but then... as I am growing old, I think I need to get back on track! To be back being a Quantity Surveyor, at least... especially with two degrees soon?!)

I might be back for graduation in October, but we'll see how it goes. :) Oh, I am so excited!!

Well, I'm signing off now. I have to get back to the books! Speak soon!! xxx

Library Fuss


Hey. Late night post! I intend to do a bit of reading, but after a really nice hot shower, I became so lazy. Haha...

Today, I was so in a giddy mode. I was at work early in the morning, and I feel like I was injected with a happy-liquid-moment-medication! It was fun at work. It was like in a la la la land! Then, (to my surprise as well!), right after work I went straight to college, to the library to get all the related books for my thesis. Before all the books in the library to be snatched away by others!! I don't really want to risk that, do I? ;)

I spent about an hour a half over there, just to realized that there were so many guys in my college! It was like, swarming with many many life-being called, boys! I never realized this before until when I was in the library, all spots, basically all chairs, are occupied with this creature! Only few places where you can see long hair and pink clothes, or maybe faces with make ups and curled lashes. :) The rest are all boys! (Note - not that I was amazed that I forgot the main reason I was there! Haha...).

In fact, I was literally, SCARED! I was cautious. Every time I walked past the book shelves holding my little notebook with the list of books I required, there will be eyes... following my pace. It was horrifying. I thought I was imagining things, (as I am very aware of my super-power!! ;) ) but this time, I know I wasn't because I can in fact heard a conversation being paused! PAUSED. And the eyes...!!! It's horrifying!! Honestly.

But then again, I was from work. Perhaps the smells that is on me, (since I work in LUSH, so you might know how it is if there's LUSH anywhere near you! :) ) lingering around when I walked passed them! ;) Haha... Probably.

Okay. That's it for tonight I think. I'm so tired. Oh, by the way... I got home with 4 huge books with me! :)

So, I guess, speak soon? ;) Good night! *twirl*
