2008/2009

So, I have confirmed my schedule for next year. Now I am just looking forward to packing my pencil case and going to school. Stationary and new books make me happy! Honestly, I am not one who speaks up in class often so class participation isnt exactly the easiest thing for me. But I believe I am learning and I shall push myself a bit each day.

Lord, i wanna pray for a renewed sense of joy each school day. That the dread of work might only male me stronger and not pull me downwards. May my weaknesses not hinder my progress and may my days be filled with you glory. Amen.

Shut Up

Some people just need to learn how to shut up and stop hurting other people’s feelings. Just because you’re more experienced doesnt mean you have the right to laugh that way. Just because I dont know doesnt mean you have the right to talk in that tone. F***king teach me then ! Totally spoilt my day. Now I dont even feel like coming near you or do any sort of project or assignment with you. You spoilt my f***king good day.

I am damn pissed. Apologise for the language but not the anger. This is my only avenue.

For those who know me, you dont usually see me get angry. In fact, I always tend to laugh things off and keep it inside. Maybe one day I should just let it all out so that the steam in me might just burn idiots.

A break.

Social Science Freshmen Orientation Camp 2008 was F – U – N !

Well, my main role there was to be the photographer, together with Rafidah and Joan. And this is the first time i’m really using the camera. It was definitely a good time of learning and getting used to being behind the lens than in front. Kinda wish I could join in the pictures sometimes. Haha.

Given that this is my first real attempt at phototaking, I am VERY pleased. My photos are definitely not ugly. In fact, I think they are really beautiful !

 

 

As usual, more photos at www.flickr.com/yanminru ! But I’ll upload slowly, bit by bit, cos there are just too many photos!

A truly western meal

Went to Aston’s today after a really long hiatus.

Well the food doesnt seem as nice as before. Whenever I go there I’d order Prime Rib Eye Xtra Cut (cos i share with my bf) with pasta salad (a must) and either fries or tasty rice.

However, when I went yesterday, the rice lacked ingredients unlike before, when I could actually see some vegetables.

The fries were still the same.

The pasta salad again lacked ingredients. I only saw pasta and green peppers unlike before where I could see red peppers and onion slices too.

The beef. Oh the beef. It transported me to the gum chewing America. Nuff’ said. Medium rare became RAW.

This, I hope, is just bad luck on my part. I think I will still return, just to give Aston’s a chance. HAHA !

A Perfect Cut

Have been following the new Channel U drama serial recently.

Its quite a good show in my opinion. Quite balanced and reflective too. It did make me question myself and see situations from a different point of view.

Some people are very adamant about never going for plastic surgery. But i’m not that kind of person. I dont see anything very wrong about going for plastic surgery. I feel that, minus the risks and side effects, if it makes you a more confident person, why not? I am however, not in favour of people going of one surgery after another. Its contradictory I know, but I feel that there’s always a limit. You can go for plastic surgery, just dont lose yourself. The line is so very thin.

However, if i’m to take the religious point of view, then I shud probably be thinking I should not change what God has given to me. But as a wise man once said, what about braces? Are they not a form of plastic surgery too? I’m not an atheist, but I somehow think that bringing God into this is kinda like self-consolation. Dont get me wrong, I still love and thank my God for all that he has done and given.

Now the question I am sure you would wanna ask me : What would I do if I went for plastic surgery?

Very simple. Height Increase. That’s the surgery I want for myself but its probably the most dangerous and impossible one. (of course, there’s a whole list of other stuffs i wanna do too, but I dont want them as much as I want this)

No matter how I try to psycho myself, it’s just different when u’re short. At least if i’m average its better. Most clothing are made for average height. Ya, there’s always the ‘PETITE’ line but wouldnt it be nice if I can wear a long flowy dress for once and not look like i’m drowning in the dress? Wouldnt it be better if Ididnt have to worry about tailoring jeans, dresses, skirts and even my dream wedding gown (in future) ?

But i just thank God that I have loved ones and frens who love me for me and not for my exterior.

Post Number 200

I just had my FIRST driving lesson on Monday. It was traumatic. Instead, I thought it was really fun ! BUT…. given my TALL stature, i had to use a cushion!  : ( 

Nonetheless, the instructor even said I could go on the road the next lesson! Oh btw, I’m doing with the school. Feel that that would give me a better learning experience since most stuffs would be structured and nearly all bases would be covered.

I also had a meeting with my cell leader/s regarding certain issues followed by dinner with my cell mates. Christine Song was there too. She was back to visit from Australia! 

Have not played much with my new camera, but took some shots here and there. Haven had much time to read the manuals too. But honestly, I’m not the kind who’d read every morsel of the manual. I rather learn by trail and error. Haha.

I realised too that i’m not very careful with keeping my money safe. Always losing or forgetting. Haiz. Pray taht God give me good memory!
