Yes....you got me right...Serendipity is my theme for the day/week. It's pleasant to discover something that you've been unintentionally looking for. The moment you found it is like : WOW! Yeah...I was really excited to have found something nice to wear for a wedding dinner. And I got it at a bargained price. Unexpectedly cheap from EIC. Then I also got some really cheap tops, skirts and flip-flops from yesterday's shopping trip. It wasn't supposed to be my shopping trip. Thanks to my brother. Somehow when he wants to get something from the mall, it'll become a family shopping trip. But if I wanna get something....oh...i've to go on my own to get it. Oh well, it has its pros and cons. Afterall, I've to pay for them even though it's a family thingy. But......things will be a lot different if it were charged to my dad's account. Haha...I will always be that daddy's girl.

Ok ok...I shall stop jabbering about shopping and clothes. See you again bloggie...this weekend's gonna be busy and crazily fun. I've my dance practice tonight. Then tomorrow will be spent in the church, including countdown in the midst of worship practice (those who are involved will know what I mean). There'll be loads of food and fun-filled presentations (including our hip-hop dance!). Then come Sunday....worship service followed by movie. And of course some shopping before the movie. ae;'orj;oauroduas;rggtyuoisa'oeir'pasoi (it's just my language of expressing excitement)......can't wait for it to come.....Happy new year everyone...

Holiday Binge!

Isn't that what holidays is all about? Binging in fun, food and sleep? I'm feeling so darn guilty about this. It seems the jog yesterday was kind of redundant. We went for dim sum after that, which literally just forfeited the main purpose of going jogging. Sigh....You wanna know what I've been doing since my holidays? It will make those who are working or studying envy me tonnes. muahahaha....It may sound pretty mundane, but I enjoy it so far. Firstly, I get to wake up at the hour I desire (but not too late of course, if not I get spanking from parents!), followed by some sumptuous breakfast before heading to some reading. Then I may start with my practice (of course still need to do some work) and stuff. After which I'll try to find some fine music or interesting movie to listen/watch. (been enjoying a lot with the arrival of the long-awaited DVD player) haha....Then I'll have a satisfying nap, which may take up the half of the afternoon. haha....this is to recoup the lost of sleeping hours during the semester. Oh I went for some nice coffee and cake yesterday in DOME for tea. First time there, I know I'm kampung and sua-gu (if you understood that). Let's see, I had a cup of rich and smooth Affogato.hmm....yummy...*slurp*...really enjoy the nice blending of ice-cream with espresso. I also had peach cheesecake (Yeah, Jane you got me...cheesecake) Jane will surely envy me as I had the pleasure to enjoy her two favourite foods at one go, ie. ice cream and cheesecake. muahahaha....

Ok ok...come back to my holiday routine. When the night comes, it is my favourite time. Why...coz i get to watch my series-Desperate Housewives. It's like running a movie marathon. It's quite intriguing and addictive. So far I'm only through to the 7th episode of season 1. So it's really slow. I think i gotta run faster....

Back....

Dear Diary,

How I miss you...the joy of pouring out my heart and soul to you can never be replaced by anything or anyone in this world.

Exams are finally over and there were good and bad throughout all the papers that I sat for. How did I do in the exam? Well, I would say I've done my very best, 101%, whether you believe it or not. But I don't think I can secure myself a scholarship for the 2nd year as the subjects taken this semester are not easy to score. Sigh....

Now...back to my holiday plans. The long unfulfilled desire to go shopping has finally been satisfied. Hurray! Went to MV yesterday. I couldn't believe that I was squeezing with others to do last minute shopping two days before Christmas. I got all the things I need in less than 2 and a half hours. Not bad huh....but now I'm broke. Hope I get my 2nd pay on Monday. Hehe.... I'm really happy with my new buys. I bought those stuffs from unexpected places, and not my usual shops. Oh well, as long as they look good on me, who cares about brands right? Thank God I'm not brand conscious. Probably it's due to the reason that I don't have enough $ to play branding. haha....

OK OK...come back to my holiday plans. I always get over-excited when I start talking about shopping. Girls girls...they always will be. Retail therapy is really effective on me. Anyway, I haven't really thought of what to do during the holidays. I thought of working, but it's only one month....work as what? Besides that, I'll be planning my course contents.....err...for those who do not know what I'm talking about...I'm actually training some youths in the church to play the piano. So I need to come out with a curriculum (sounds big hor) to properly train them. Just pray for me...

2ndly, I'll be watching the 1st season of Desperate Housewives. Ok..i know I'm really outdated. I'm honest..I've only watched two episodes of this much sought after TV series. That also not complete 2 episodes, as I couldn't really understand the complexity of the characters in the series. So I decided that I should start from the very beginning.

3rdly, I'll also be catching up with my reading. There are tonnes of things I wanna read.

4thly, it's the time of the year when everyone throw away old junks and rubbish. So that means I'll need to clear up cupboard. I realised I'm a sentimental person who keeps unused things. You guys will never believe me if I tell you I keep:

(a) all the receipts of my shopping items, and this dates back to when I was still Form 2. So you could imagine the pile of receipts I have. And some receipts have already turned yellow. Ranging from Yaohan(it's already non-existent) to MNG.

(b) I've receipts, surely I've the brands' tags. Erm....I just call those tags that come along with new clothes BRANDS' TAGS. I love them....I feel it's a waste to throw them away as they are so nice and cute (some of them). It also makes me feel good to see them as they makes me feel that I own so many clothes from different stores. haha...

(c) Actually there are a lot more things I keep. I wouldn't finish blogging if I were to list down everything. Haha...some are too secret to tell anyone.

Ok...I think I better go now. I'll blog some more when I feel like it....have a blessed Christmas everyone.

Unfair! Unfair! Unfair!

What the ************! You complete the sentence for me...I just wanna shout out today that it's so darn UNFAIR!

Everyone's busy having fun, shopping, watching movies, lepaking and everything....But me? I'm stucked! Can't go anywhere..Why? because of the FINAL EXAMS! And another thing which adds to my frustration is the fact that I'm running out of $ already. Supposed to watch Narnia tomorrow, but seeing that I've to survive with that money for the rest of the two weeks, it's safer not to go anywhere but stay at home and make friends with my law books. To look at things on the brighter side, I'm actually killing two birds with one stone. No.1, save money. No.2, can stay home and study for exams. Heh? Not bad huh? My pessimism has improved a lil' bit. Yeah? Agree?

The exam today was so terrible. My hopes of getting good grades just flushed down the toilet again. I have no words to express already. It's not a good sign when the 1st paper you sit for didn't turn out to be good. It signifies a bad spell for the rest of the papers. I just hope that law and accounting paper will be better. I just wanna finish the questions on time.

What I wanna do now:

(a) play jazz on the piano

(b) do nothing!

(c) sit back and relax and unwind as i listen to jazz music

(d) hip-hop dancing

I'm not looking forward to the coming week. Firstly,I'm starting a new job near my place. The thought of it is enough to bring me shivers on my whole body. Secondly, it's gonna be a long day at work again on Tuesday. Thirdly, Law exam(what else,right?) I guess after Thursday night, I'll be more bubbly and cheerful.

OK...signing off now. I wanna try to sleep a while before my rendezvous with my .... you know what.....hey...are you thinking what I'm thinking? I hope you won't think senget...k?

Fa la la la la....

Yes...tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la ,la-la-la-la ..... Silver bells, Silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city....

They can sing all they want, but i'm not feeling Christmas-sy. It's the Lord's birth and there is every reason to rejoice. But sad to speak, I'm not feeling a slight tinge of the season. Probably I'm swarmed with exams and datelines. I hope it's due to that and nothing else. I didn't have a good Christmas last year. Yeah, my church did a big production on Christmas and all. But I was hit by some crises and therefore my whole year end was miserable. I don't want to remember it and I hope I'll never have the same thing happening to me again. But I can foresee that it's going to be like that again next year end. There's this something that no one knows. It's a cycle thing in my life. One year it'll be good, one year it'll be exactly the opposite, which is terribly bad. So this year will be a bit better than last year, and next year the bad thing occur, and this spell or cycle just goes on and on, year in year out. I really wanna break the spell. I'm so sick of this. It's never nice when you have self-fulfilled prophecy. It's not a joy to know that you can predict the happening of things you know. Oh well....sometimes I wonder whether I think and worry too much or do I think too little.

I'm listening to a Christmas radio channel online now. The songs are really nice, jazzy and relaxed. It makes me feel as if I'm on some sort of vacation on the country roads or by the coastal roads in Australia looking over the beach. I miss holidays....i really do....I'm so sick staying in this urban lifestyle, having to comply to so many urban living 'rules'. Well, these rules are uptight if you would agree with me. Rules such as: having a fashionably-skinny body to fit into the day-by-day-getting-smaller sizes of women clothes. I'm sometimes very stressed out with those rules. I get very emo and have lower self esteem whenever I get out of the fitting rooms in the mall.....Oh well....there you go....i just said it....I've low self esteem...

Ok, gotta go now....merry christmas to everyone who's reading my blog.

Fat pics...

Finally the pictures are uploaded...and these are all fat pictures of mine....look so bloated and bengkak...

Oh by the way, these pictures are taken in Penang..

Me on the way up to Penang Hill

Dad and I posing in the train that was once used to go up to Penang Hill

That's all for now. I didn't take many pictures when I was up there. *sob sob* Nvm...there's always 'next time's

I'm almost there......

I'm almost there already........Just a little bit, Sheena....Why can't you just persevere? You just wrote in your last blog that you don't wanna fight it already. Why? Why are you so stubborn? Argh!!

Anyway, that's the shout out for today. No one will ever understand what I'm fighting. Don't ever try to guess, k?

Ok...on next issue.....

I'm really frustrated now. Just feel very stucked when I really need the $ to do shopping. I know it's God's blessing already. But I just can't wait any longer before I get the $ on hand to buy my necessary survival tool kit. Ok....this survival tool kit consists of things which you've never imagined....haha....

As I've explained earlier, my shopping list is getting longer and longer if the $ still doesn't come. I don't want to squeeze and push with others, fighting for X'mas presents during the very last minute mega sale. You know what I mean? Sigh.....I think you also don't know what I mean.....

Tonight is gonna be a boring and super long night. I've to attend some function and it is just for formality purposes. I hate to socialise and put up a fake smile and lingo when I talk to people I don't know. That's exactly what I'm gonna do in an hour's time. Oh well....I've no choice and probably it just goes to prove that I'm not an extrovert after all. I prefer to stay by myself or at least just talk on the phone....wohoo...It's been a long time since I last talked on the phone. Yeah...quite long...for some weeks now. Gone are the days where I used to run to the phone when it rings at night. Nowadays no one bothers to answer the phone call as we know it's brother's call. And goodness only knows why he has so much to yak on the phone.
