So here it goes …

The top of the list would RM1 000 000 to pay off my student loans, but unless a rich relative is reading this; it won’t be happening anytime soon.

I would also love a college degree. Please let me graduate soon.
A girl’s birthday wish list would be incomplete without one of these

COACH – TAMMY HEEL

one of these

GUCCI – ‘TECHNO HORSEBIT’ MEDIUM HOBO with tassels and bamboo detail.

and one of these

FOREVER 21 – KNIT JACKET

and of course one of these

Ya ya, I’m a vampire freak. So?!

Hurm… Let’s add another one to my list. A Lens2 Automated Contact Lens Cleaner

Any way, that pretty much wraps up my wish list (for now). If I could get at least 75% of my wish list, I’d be a happy birthday girl! Oh, to be young again!

You are stressed. Premature wrinkles are lining your face. Gray hair threatens to spring from your hair follicles. You crave more and more caffeine each day. You don’t remember how it’s like to have a social life, love life, work life, family life. You are constantly searching for that extra boost you desperately need. You need to be ‘in the zone’. Most of all, you wish for minimal, if not zero, annoyances or people crossing your path.

In other words, you are an intellectual ball on fire set loose on campus grounds as you blaze your way from your room (which happens to look like an academic maelstrom just devastated it with all the papers, unread readings and textbooks strewn all over every corner and surface) all the way in your scruffiest sneakers and favorite jeans to your examination hall.

Deep breaths now. Alright, I’m ready to begin, never mind the fact that I’ll never be ready. And then all these irritating little things start nagging at you as you frantically scribble out an answer so you won’t have to hand in a blank exam answer booklet. Ugh, can’t I do my exam in peace?

Here is the Top Final Exams Piss-Me-Offs:

1. Forgetting to Bring Your ID
And now the lecturer is never going to forget your face, because you just spent the first 10 minutes explaining to him that you are indeed a student in the university and honestly you are trying so hard to convince him.

2. Screwy, Lousy Pens
Scribble scribble scraaaaawl…died. Tried another one. Ink too light. Tried another. Don’t like the feel of the write. Oh, your train of thought just went outta your mind.

3. Fidgety Students
Can they stop shaking their foot, legs, pens already? These people can save their talent for shaking for the clubbing nights and please stop distracting the rest of the students from concentrating on recalling information and writing down a decent essay.

4. Over-excited Invigilators
Female invigilators who wear high heels and go clomping up and down the linoleum flooring. Male invigilators who are so excited that some student raised his hand (and FINALLY now he has something to do) then he BURSTS INTO RENEWED ENERGY and starts running toward said student at fireman speed. Relax people; you’re not doing the paper!

5. Clocks Out of Your Line of Vision
Okay, most people don’t really wear watches nowadays. Some wear it just for exam purposes. But fashion-forward and absent-minded you forgot to bring a time-keeping device and the wall clock just happened to be out of your line of vision. Now you need psychic abilities and pseudo toilet trips to check out the time. Great!!

6. Freezing Exam Halls
You’d think with all the save-the-earth campaigns going on, campuses will be the first to spearhead the movement and start turning down the temperature of the central cooling system. No, they are hell-bent on freezing us to death, unless we happened to transform into yetis or polar bears in the middle of our papers. NOT likely.

7. People Who Keep Requesting for Additional Booklets
I don’t know why, but these people drive me c-r-a-z-y! I mean, I still have 4 pages to go and these people are already starting on their second booklet. They make me sweat, never mind the fact that I’m actually freezing too.

8. Difficult Questions from Hell
That have you staring at the paper and wished you had just read that extra page in the readings. And then you proceed to stare miserably at the person beside you, who is happily (outrageously smiling) as she writes her already-memorized answer out onto the answer sheet. Bleargh!!

9. CELLPHONES That Start ringing In the Middle of the Paper
What has modern society reinforced in you every time you attend an important closed-door function? Switch off your mobile phones! Turn your cellphones to silent mode! Please! It’s distracting and strangely amusing to have ‘Umbrella’ blaring out of someone’s Nokia in the middle of writing about precipitation.

So how do you tackle some of these possibly avoidable pitfalls/annoyances?

1. Wear a watch.
2. Bring a hoodie.
3. Study harder! (Can’t stress this enough though I myself need this advice more than anyone else)
4. Muster all of your endurance for quirky people.
5. Check to make sure you brought your ID.
6. Bring a few pens. (And test ‘em the night before)
7. Wake up early.
8. STAY CALM! At all costs!

Good luck all my fellow university mates in the final exams!

STAY TUNED!

“Beauty” follows Lane, a young freelance fashion journalist, as she goes “undercover” in the “business world” on assignment from Cosmopolitan magazine’s Kate White (played by Jamie Pressly) to find a man in a suit. But not only does the man have to look good in a suit, he also has to possess the qualities on her “magic man” checklist. There are many things wrong with that sentence, but the two most wrong things are that she holds the men to impossible, made-up standards, and that she calls the man of her dreams her “magic man.” That sounds not only creepy but vaguely pedophilic.

Above all, I rather enjoyed this movie. It accomplished what it set out to do — entertain in a delightfully cheesy kind of way. I mean come on; it stars Hilary Duff, who we know from Lizzie McGuire, Cinderella Story, The Perfect Man and other light-hearted movies. This movie is not going for the next Oscar – so let’s not treat it as such. Duff was competent and as cliché as the movie was, it was also entertaining. Not to mention, I did get a little something from it … don’t be so critical when it comes to dating. Be a little more open-minded. Perhaps we also shouldn’t be so critical of a movie that is a silly Sex and The City type mini-me and just enjoy it for what it is.

Traditionally, this is the period of time when most students experience three types of emotion: panic, frustration and laziness.

Panic, because you still have a HUMONGOUS stack of readings to plough through. Multiply that by five or six subjects you are doing, and yes, you will be needing that brown bag for the overwhelming wave of nausea rising in your stomach just thinking about the exams.

Frustration, because SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME!

Laziness, because, unless you live Down Under, this time of the year is usually shrouded in gloomy weather, the temperature drops and it’s oh-so-cozy to cuddle under your covers and sleep “just a bit more”.

On top of these conflicting and very uncomfortable feelings bottled up inside you, you have to get organized, deal with everyday drama and still strut the hallways looking hot and fabulous.

Trust me, all the things I’m saying, I’m feeling it. And it sure as hell does not feel good at all, what with all the acne and the sudden cravings for junk food the stress generates.

Finals, here I come. Let’s slay the competition!

I’ve had a few exceedingly annoying errors over the course of process, but I finally manage to finish the program. Yey!

This is my assignment output for my OOP assignment. Whoa! I’ve spent hours thinking about this and trying different approach, but there always seems to be a catch or something that doesn’t fit. Thank god it is finally done.

I just have to work out some minor glitches and make it more presentable.

Material: Manmade material
Heel: 2.5 inch

Colour: Brown
Size 37/ Vincci’s Size 6 – 23.5cm

These lovely checkered pump heel inspired from Mary Jane are a certainly my idea for a nice prep school outfit. Beautifully put together and very well-made, their soft, cushioned leather makes these shoe a joy to wear.

Helping a friend of mine selling off these wonderful pumps at a really reasonable price. Tempted?

If I have to use a word to describe myself for what I’ve done today, it has got to be “LAZY”. Big, bold red letters stamped across my forehead. I have slept through my alarm, conveniently forgotten my well-intended plans to do my assignment, been blogging and online shopping, watching too much TV series (Greek, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, 90210, The Vampire Dairies, Privileged, Numb3rs…etc.), organizing my wardrobe…

In other words,I’m  actually ENJOYING some alone time, being my lazy self and doing nothing productive. I feel awful, but yet I feel pretty damn good. What’s going on here?

First, a shout-out to all my readers. I hope everyone has a simply smashing week!

So, school and life have both decided to kick my butt. And I know I’ve been ignoring this blog hardcore. And I feel really bad. But for right now, I just don’t have the time for it.

Well, I started on my OOP assignment today. I have to write approximately 300++ lines of program about inheritance and polymorphisms. How in the heck am I going to do that?!

So far, I have been able to force myself to open several programming books. You know, it is so much easier to write the program if you actually understand it. Man, oh man.

Of course, I was working on it… but then Privileged just finish downloaded and I got distracted.

Damn you, Brian Hallisay!

Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have a date with Mr Visual C++!

That’s right, bitches & bastards. You don’t get rid of me that easily!

On my defense, I have had a lot to deal with this past few days (be it studies, relationship & families) and haven’t had any time at all to blog – which really sucks.

Now things have settled down a bit, I’m gonna try really hard to keep my life back on track and avoid those unnecessary conflict.

I’m so excited to be back!! Whee~~~
