Enlightening Night

So I know and am completely aware that it's a week past the due date to my promising to blog. In my defense, I was horribly busy last weekend and even the weekend didn't bring in the much needed sleep for me. But I have to say that it was well spent and as for sleep...nyeh!

Anyway the reason I'm spending my early Saturday morning is because I had a really enlightening educational experience last night (hahahaha...). We went to this somewhat what our mothers would call a "Tupperware" party. You know where they show all the latest tupperwares or maybe those new kitchen stuff get together they always have? Well this was certainly a get together at looking for new things but definitely not something for the household. Hahahaha...I'll leave the pictures as a clue.

Just some of the things that were on display for last night. No...no...they're not perfumes or body lotions. Well some of them are but hurm...continue to scroll down.

Yup! These were part of the stuffs too. Getting a bit more idea here *wink*. Nothing like vibrators and handcuffs to spice the bedroom scene huh???

Well here's a little something I'll leave to your imagination and guessing. Just feel free to guess and I'll see if you come up with the right answer.

This cute birdie thing doesn't only look cute, but serves a very fulfilling purpose too. LOL

And here we are with our penis shaped candies. They were mint flavored. Too bad there wasn't the boobies shaped ones last night.

A whip, handcuffs and penis pen tops. Who said deciding to stay in Friday night was necessarily boring anyway??

Chloe trying out one of the lingeries. And yeah they're over her clothes, but then they had a strict no trying policy and well if she had then there wouldn't be this picture.

So yup! That was Friday night for us girls. So much for saying that it was meant for studying. We stayed there until a little before midnight. I came back did a little studying but was started to fall asleep with my notes. So well that explains this really early saturday morning blogging.

I really want to blog...but I've been nothing but exhausted this week. *big smile* It's nice to be this busy again despite having to sleep late and be tired. I promise to blog this weekend. At the moment I'm just so exhausted from a really long day. My own mistake; I accidentally signed up for 2 duties for AKPsi without realizing the dates. Thank goodness it didn't clash! Till this weekend!

KICKOFF

After a week of classes, I finally feel the semester kicking off. Work load has already begun the warm up to a really hectic semester ahead. Strange as it seems, the workload offers me a kind of comfort of being back to familiar grounds. After last semester, I pretty much feel that it's time to get my head back together and the winter break was the very thing I needed to just pull everything back into place.

So I'm honestly welcoming the whole pile of workload. I'm loving 3 of my classes this sem and I just can't wait to get rid of library and I'm pretty much using this long weekend to complete all 5 assignments. I just really hope I'm going manage doing it, because I still haven't looked at what's due for French. Hahahaha...this really can't be happening! It's only the first week and I'm already procrastinating? A resolution should be made even if it's late in the day.

I'm glad Zi Ting threw a party on Friday. It was just a good ending to the busy week and kickoff to the beginning of this semester. Now I just can't wait for the kari laksa dinner at Micky's. That's just going to be another yummy one. Micky always cooks the best food...hehehe...

Here are just a couple of pictures I think are simply adorable.

COLD COLD WINTER DAY

Day 3 of classes and it's not any better than day 1. In fact the weather is going from worse to worst and an upcoming torturous.

The day began with me being late for class. I'm still trying to figure out how did that happen because the last time I checked I was still on time. Thank goodness I didn't miss the bus. But the wind...the wind was horrible! First of all it was blowing at an average of 30km/h and with it blew those snow on the ground and trees and a feels like temperature of -30C to boot! So thank goodness I got Khuan to help me buy my contacts or it'll be crazy to wear glasses.

Anyway, I was 5 mins late for French. I barely managed to catch my breath before the levvez vous began. I think we had about 5 rounds of that today and all I wanted was to answer ASAP because I wanted to sit down and catch my bloody breath. Though, I have to say I stand corrected about John Pierre's class. I'm actually beginning to enjoy them despite of the levvez vous.

So after French I had 10 mins to figure out where Roberts Hall was and to make an amazingly quick dash over there in the cold wind. The rule of the game though was to not slip and fall on my big flat butt and to get there in record time. Thank goodness that girl from class (I have to find out her name) walked me all the way to MU and sort of pointed me into the right way even if I was just confused with her directions. Half way between MU and Roberts, to which I was confused which building to go to I asked this guy who was walking past me where Roberts was. He turned out to be from Carien's (and some other few) class and was really really nice. He decided to walk back with me to Roberts even though at that point he could have just pointed out the building to me (OK let me dwell here for a moment and be perasan). The rest of the class was kinda boring though, since I haven't gotten my book for the class yet.

Next class - MIS 330. Again another walk in the cold. It was seriously really cold and I desperately needed to pee, so I guess that made it feel colder. I was practically freezing while walking because I was sans scarf and long johns since I was late and could barely manage to walk. Thank goodness MIS was interesting and Marketing class right after was fun too.

After class I checked out my to-do-list:

1. Officially register for LSCM 360
2. Print out notes for MIS 330, LSCM 360
3. Bookstore to get LSCM 360 textbook (which was unfortunately sold out - babi-fied to the max!)

After all that I was just really happy to head back home with Carien. I did later brave the outside again to take the trash out, which I wouldn't have done if it wasn't because I couldn't stand it already. And I have to say I'm proud of myself over this small achievement because i had to wade in above knee deep of snow.

The rest of the evening was pretty much plain old boring after the day I had; forgot dinner; procrastinated up to now; achieving only in arranging my notes. Since I really don't feel like reading anything and don't have my LSCM 360 textbook and no French class tomorrow, plus still feeling quite cold (my housemates are made for the cold) I think I'll hit the bed.

Bonne nuit!

SPRING SEMESTER - DAY 1

Day 1 of Spring Semester and I have to say that snow is definitely not synonymous with first day of classes. Neither is it even remotely related.

Today basically involved a lot of walking and back to back classes, and so would it remain until the end of the semester. I had to walk from Gerdin to Pearson twice in an hour, in the snow and nothing frustrates me more than having the snow blow in my face and envying those long legged people walking really fast past by me.

After that began my back to back classes, which later ended at 3pm. I have to say I was pretty much relieved knowing that classes were over for the day except Carien decided that I should walk around more before heading home. Hahahaha...and so we did. By the time I got home I was so hungry and the first thing I did after changing was to cook myself Maggie. I just love how those things taste after a long day and coming home hungry.

Took a nap about an hour later (so going to get fat from that) and barely remembered nor know what I texted Ruey since I was sleeping. Woke up and prepared dinner for me and my housemates as a Welcome Back dinner. Talked to Dhaya on the phone, did the laundry and here I am supposedly studying but blogging instead. So what's new about that?

WHININGS

In the tradition of the typical student I whine to the fact that the semester begins tomorrow. With back to back classes, meeting with my advisor, and thick snow on the ground I want nothing more than to snuggle under my covers and sleep in. I'm still wondering where did the 3 weeks of break go.

Anyway, I'll soon be posting pictures from winter break. Don't think I'll be posting it up on Facebook. I'm glad I did have fun during the break and some quiet time for myself. If only it didn't end that soon. I'm guessing that another week and that holiday list, which was planned about 2 weeks before break would really have been checked and done to every last detail.

THE CLOSING OF WINTER BREAK

I really can't believe how it's already down to the last few days of the winter break. I feel like I've barely achieved anything on my holiday list. Most disappointing is that I never even managed to finish even ONE book. I did however spend a bomb on shopping, although I have to say that I don't think I regret spending it. Consider it retail therapy and money well spent.

One week into the new year. I think I'm doing pretty okay if not fine. I've packed almost all of last year's things and had them stored out of sight and for those I haven't, I'm really slowly getting there. Maybe a few more weeks and everything would be kept away.

Basically now, quoting an overused expression, I'm bored almost out of my pants. It's the first night among many nights that I've stayed home the whole evening. It's nice and pretty much like the old times. Not the old time I-just-have-to-do-something/a-date-to-keep-online, but more like I'm free to do what I want and not have my mind having a hundred things running through it at almost light speed. Plus for once it actually seems like my own time.

It's been a short 3 weeks. Part of me wants it to end, but a part of me wants another round of this break. I'm always indecisive when it comes to these things :) but maybe what I need is a whole new different break, which is why I can't wait for summer to come.

I'm finally able to sleep again. What a relief! I hope that this last week of break would really be the time when I can finally catch up with my sleep. I kept saying it during exam week and the beginning of break but never really managed to. Turning into one hell of a crazy insomniac. Bring out those sleep-ease pills. I need to stop walking around looking like a panda.

*fingers crossed* I hope I didn't say it too soon. It has been only a day anyway since I managed to sleep.


p/s: I burned the past yesterday. It was a childish thing to do...but it was a relief and it felt good. Thanks for being there to help me do it :) and you know who you are.
