Today is a day dedicated to cleaning out the store room so that my brother can live in it during his six-month internship in KL city, so he can save on rent. Which is good because internships pay students like crap =_=

Sorry if I sound a bit irritating because I’m in a not-so-good mood at the moment. Besides doing laundry and ironing clothes, I HATE cleaning. Especially spaces like storerooms which are bound to be disgusting. Give me an option between this and a second final year project paper and I will pick the latter any day.

The above photos are obviously before and after shots. As you can see by the light from the window, I started my mission in the afternoon, and finished late at night.

My dear brother owes me. BIG TIME.

Spring Cleaning

While cleaning out the storeroom for my brother, I found a lot of things that I’ve forgotten, or should I say, memories that I’ve forgotten. Old birthday presents, old cards, old notebooks I used to scribble in when I’m bored, old anime DVDs that I loved (still do), dusty framed pictures, and pictures with messages written on the back that I’ve never read before. 

I begin to wonder how much of my past have I sacrificed to let go of the pain that came with the years. Have I discarded wonderful memories in an effort to forget the painful ones? Have I become a paranoid creature who suspects that everyone nice to me will hurt me in the years to come? 

I learned the hard way to protect myself when I was very young, but in protecting myself I often end up hurting the people very dear to me. The best memories of my life began during tertiary education, and I had not loved my teenage years at all, which is a pity because that’s supposed to be the most colourful years of my life.

Self-protection isn’t a bad thing, but now I am wondering how much more of the beautiful teenage memories have I forgotten in an effort to heal an open wound.

Perhaps I should keep a memory box to store bits and pieces in. After all, it is the past that made us who we are today. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Busy Bee?

I’ve only had time for light browsing on both Tumblr and Facebook for the past few days. My assignments are driving me nuts, but I refuse to give up on at least 5 hours of sleep every night @_@ And I take power naps in the afternoon, just to recharge and go again.

My poor blog…how I’ve missed you T_T

A few things that have been going on in the last few days:

  • Got our grades for our Final Year Project drafts. My supervisor gave me an A, much to my surprise, seeing as I’ve been turning in less-than-complete work @@
  • Finally turned in my Variation assignment. I’ve been replaying Douglas Lim and Jeff Dunham so many times I can now sing “Oh Babi”
  • Handed in Intercultural Communication project paper as well. I can breathe slightly better now.
  • Starting on my two Translation assignments today. To be handed in by this week *slits wrists*
  • I got one of the highest carry-on marks for Proficiency in English! =D I hardly get highest in anything so this is a big deal for me haha~
  • CLASS PARTY TOMORROW!!! OMG I’m so excited! ^O^ Will bring my camera for the pictures =D

Okay back to the assignments before I drown myself. Good evening to everybody else~ ^^

My first ever lipstick from MAC! =D I’ve had my eye on Impassioned for a while and I planned to buy that when I get my first paycheck, but the assistant told me it was limited edition so I snatched it up @@ Then I went online and it was actually in the permanent collection =_= I’m glad I didn’t take my chances though. For all I know it could be for a limited time only in Malaysia =o= It’s an Amplified Creme finish and a beautiful coral colour. I love it! I also bought the Lipglass that goes with it but I’ll save that for another post =) I can’t wait to wear it out! =D

Work, play, and retail therapy

Yesterday was a full day out! Got out of the house at 9am for some group work and discussion and didn’t get home til about 9pm =( But it was an awesome and productive day!

I haven’t allowed myself to splurge in a VERY long time, and yesterday I went a bit nuts and far too spontaneous for my own good.

  • Went to uni to fetch a friend to McD. Had breakfast there and started cracking for our project.
  • Had lunch in the same place. I’m never having another McD burger in my life T_T
  • Went to 3 different pharmacies with a friend (Daphne) to look for my favourite lipbalm. Couldn’t find it. Was completely heartbroken =’( I think it was only sold for a limited time in Malaysia =(
  • Went to the mall and got a pedicure. On impulse. It was a wonderful experience though =)
  • Window-shopped in 726 different cosmetic stores. I’ve finally found a cosmetics window-shopping buddy T_T
  • Sniffed different fragrances in L’occitane while Daphne redeemed her birthday gift. Smelled The Vert Green Tea and decided to put it on my fragrance-to-buy list =D
  • Went to MAC last and bought something X_X No please wallet stop scolding me!!!
  • Dropped Daphne back in college and went back home.
  • Started on the hideous pile of assignments that needed to be done T_T

So I had an awesome day! I’m now on a self-imposed no-buying-anything-besides-food ban so that I can save whatever I have left for my vacation after our finals =) OK BACK TO WORK!!!
