Hooboy! Think I'd abandon the blog didn't you? Well, I did actually :) So the sudden "surge" in activity means i'm on a break! If only! I've got 3 assignments all due on the same day, Thursday after the break. What kind of dumb luck is that?? I've only got 3 assignments a term and they are all due on the same day?? I know 3 is meager compared to people who get 40 assignments but I like to whinge can??


Please congratulate me for I've been getting my cellulite ridden ass to uni these past 4 days! Hurray!!

I love breaks. Doesn't everyone? I love breaks when I can't scratch anything off my READING LIST. Grr! I started on the World is Flat last summer and guess what? Summer 08 is no too far ahead and I'm not even halfway there. I guess by the time I finish reading Bestseller for 2007 I'll be so irrelevant. So now I'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Only 10 bucks from Borders! But then again, it could've cost 2 bucks from a second hand book shop. It's really interesting so far but the occasional illustrations inside creeps me out a little.

I am such a bad reader. Always stuck on the "I want to" stage and can't seem to finish a book. Oh well, it took me a year and half to finish an awesome book like Life of Pi. I actually thought it was boring initially and everyone who read it thought I'm retarded. But I take it back. I love it! Books make me happy :) Especially I can take the entire day off reading in a comfy place :))

And I don't understand why Zie finds it hard to believe that I read the newspapers. Hello?? He's such a dungu!

Anyhow, I'm working on some really really really exciting stuff for AIESEC as well. I only just posted up an internship classifieds on the global database which we call the "dot net" this afternoon and I've gotten responses from Tehran and India and I haven't even checked my other inbox which I asked them to respond to. Totally stoked but I know given the current condition my laptop is in (too slow, not enough RAM to run on) I really shouldn't go check and look at their CVs etc. It'll only serve to frustrate me. But I'm really so excited at how people out there all so eager to go on exchange and literally, one of them would be packing their bags and arriving at Adelaide airport in 3 months time. I mean this position is really really awesome! The pay is $3000 a fortnight! I would definitely go for it if I had the qualifications.

Again, Zie thinks that I'm selling my soul to this organisation and I attend too many meetings. I wish I didn't have to also lah! Ok, seems like I'm painting a really bad picture of him so just to clarify things, he's totally understanding and awesome. I just wish he had some normalcy in his sleeping hours.


On another note, Bai Tu Tang is toxic!!!!!! Boo hoo!!! Such a low blow. I love those milky chewy stick to your teeth candy :( You know why?? Cause it's so nostalgic!! Always reminds me of CNY at my Grandma's place ( she has them every year!!) . And I still vividly remember my first encounter with these yummies : I was in Primary 1 and I remember trying very hard to peel away the starch paper and the friend ( I can't remember who) thought I was a dungu and gleefully enlightened me on how to eat them. Hehe!

Digressing, I was probably different to all my peers back in primary school. So in my little hometown, most of the kids who went to Chinese school came from the kindergartens that was Chinese based as well. I however did the opposite so that probably explains why I never knew the existence of those "junk" pre school. And another interesting "culture shock" I encountered during primary school is the choice of skin colour when we did colouring. Guess what Chinese educated kids used for people? -- YELLOW!! Jeng jeng.... Imagine my shock that day when I coloured my little boy light brown and to turn around and see my classmates all using either yellow or orange. And they had the cheek to ask me why my fellow so weird. RACISTS!!!! Well my siblings at home didn't give me an easy time either. My brother always teased me about how the people all had jaundice whenever I did colouring at home. LOL.

Ok, anyhow, I'm so glad I ranted. We were so childish back in primary school :)
