Ramblings on of someone still finding the way

Hello dear readers of my blog :)

There was a potluck 'please wear any jersey' party at my place last night, and it was great! I got to wear my basketball jersey! (although I seemed completely sapped from making my lasagna). Yes, I made lasagna! However, I don't have any pictures of it. But then again, it doesn't matter because it did look like crap. I didn't have an oven so I had to microwave the thing 15min at a time because the baking tray was too big for the microwave so it couldn't turn... and only after an hour did someone tell me I'm not supposed to put metal things in the appliance. (oops...) I made a little veggie lasagna for Gowri, but burnt the top in Hai Fon's toaster oven. All in all, my efforts were not exactly a failure because even though it looked like crap, both the little and big lasagnas didn't taste too bad. Oh, I also made chicken soup... which is still sitting on the stove right now. It tasted like bakuteh for some reason. I even bought a claypot for it.

Everyone else brought-

Ling Wei - Mushroom Soup
Brandon - made fried oyster mushrooms and garlic bread for the soup
Chris - sweet and sour fish
Amelia - fruit (you can't go wrong with those... hee hee)
Hai Fon - asked Amelia to buy drinks for him for the party and claimed praise for coke and rootbeer but not for 7up ice, and kept reminding people he brought the toaster.
Jebbrine - fried mee hoon in KFC spiderman tubs... those are still in my fridge too.
Gowri - some pastry thing that was nice and trifle... I have know idea how to spell the dessert thing with custard and jelly
Kah Heng - potato cheese jap mayonaise corn beef thing. It was nice but the potato part could give us all hypertension... SALTY!
Li Na - fried chicken balls and crab sticks fried till they were crispy... but they got cold so weren't very crispy by the time she got to my place.
Van Ren - more fruits
Michelle - nuggets and sausages.
Racine and Yon Xian - brought themselves. Racine's excused cause she did just come back from jb but Yon Xian... tsk tsk... at least he wore his jersey as instructed.
Daniel - last minute addition

I hope I didn't forget anyone...

So, my fridge is full of leftovers with no place for anything else, and I'm getting hungry... Next event : clubbing tonight!

:)

this is a good week.

often it is the only

thing

between you and

impossibility.

no drink,

no woman's love,

no wealth

can

match it.

nothing can save

you

except

writing.

it keeps the walls

from

failing.

the hordes from

closing in.

it blasts the

darkness.

writing is the

ultimate

psychiatrist,

the kindliest

god of all the

gods.

writing stalks

death.

it knows no

quit.

and writing

laughs

at itself,

at pain.

it is the last

expectation,

the last

explanation.

that's

what it

is.

Smoke

The days are getting very boring and repetitive. Last night I went out with Van Ren, Lina, Amelia, Hai Fon and Kah Heng and we spent the night (or more like 3 hours) in Hartamas wasting money on salty fried mushrooms, some spicy shelled worm thingy, ice-cream and waffles and shisha... however that's spelt. We blew smoke into our cups and laughed at Lina every time she coughed up after a taking a wiff from the shisha thingamajig. I tried blowing smoke rings but failed miserably. We each tried counting to ten while exhaling smoke and found out it was easier said than done. I started blowing smoke out of a straw. Amelia had her first try of shisha and stoned. Then we played a round of pool because Breakers was closing and we went home. And Lina the sly conned me into wearing my tiny skirt out and no one besides her was wearing one :P Sigh... the things we do to fill our time, not that it wasn't fun.

Hai Fon, Bran and the rest just left for Genting. I decided not to go so I could help my dear brother with his extended essay and Genting ain't really fun anyway, unless you've got loads of money to spend but that goes for anywhere... However, I can't get into my Google inbox so... I'm thinking I might have to postpone helping with the evaluation part of his essay till tomorrow... ugh... :P The days are so mundane my brain has gone on a temporary winter break. It's strange not to feel sad or happy and even mildly irritated... (besides the occasional hypoglycaemic irritation I get when I'm hungry and no one can decide on a place to eat but would rather not eat at the place currently suggested. What's up with that?!). I've gone to the cinema enough times to not want to go for a while and there aren't enough movies to go around visiting the cinema 3 to 4 times a week.

I should go visit my grandparents in Kulai during the Hari Raya Break... maybe I'll give them a call later.

The 'Singles Challenge' is holding up and I'm thinking alot more before embarking on adventures that would otherwise complicate my current simple circumstances. Too often I'm in need of chaos which has been the root of all my troubles. I don't need another adventure just at the moment... Just a little quiet and peace.

Let me not forget my mistakes, lest I fall prey to their bony fingers again.

Nothing very philosophical or even remotely smart to blog about these days. Friday's done and gone and the endocrine summative was a disaster... it might be an easy system but it sure was really easy for me to mix things up in my head. Hopefully I didn't fumble so much as to fall into the abyss of FAILURE! :P ... on to greener pastures...

It's rotations time now and everyone's in holiday mode again after the 4 weeks of endocrine. It's strange to be having holidays so soon after our really long break after sem 3, but I'm not complaining. I spent the day being Racine's and Yon Xian's lamp post until Kah Heng turned up at Midvalley which was fortunate. At least I wasn't the only one shining brightly. And now I'm here... at the cyber cafe amidst the empty shells playing dota endless with the dim light and deafening booms of virtual characters in their dying plight to kill other virtual characters. I'm killing my eyes and my ears while I type this... oh joy...

Tomorrow will be another day of glorious lepaking but it's been planned that Rac and I will be going to gym at 11 and then I shall be teaching a bunch of people what I learnt at my elective (which is a mixture of tai chi, yoga and pilates to some music) and then finally maybe a bout of free kickboxing at some Hartamas place Kah Heng goes too with Rac and probably Yon Xian if he can put his ego aside for an hour or so. Hehe! So yep... nothing new... still trying to be a better person... working on that... :)

NO VOICE!

I woke up in a really good mood this morning... and for some silly reason I woke up at 8.30am when I didn't need to. Too much waking up early in the morning to drag people through cheerleading practice. I felt like making someone extra happy today... but I've got no voice for that... maybe I should make a smiley face sign... hahah... right...

Finally cheerleading is over. We didn't win obviously from the lack of practise and the un-synchronizational skills. I boffed up a bunch of steps and I saw some others getting lost like sheep during the routine. (Haha!) But I think we did a pretty good job with the two weeks that we had. And the guys did come through with the carrying and all that. Definitely better than last year! I had my sexy red whistle with me... since I lost my voice and got sick during the process of screaming at the team to get into formation and repeat and formation and repeat and formation... I didn't lose my temper like I did last year which was excellent and I didn't stress so much I had to go home and cry, which was double plus good. However I still skipped lectures to go home and sleep... hee hee... the usual IMU Cup fever. At least the girls volleyball team for my batch got silver... so that's a silver medal for my shelf :)

Yep... nothing else to report... besides me finally getting back to normal life. IMU Cup definitely ain't normal life. No more skipping lectures for me... endocrine next week and I haven't started studying anything... haha... but what's new?
