a series of unfortunate events of me, myself and geri.
first event: theres that failed assignment i announced earlier, oh yeah im still sulking about that,
am currently working on redoing that assignment, the goal is to hopefully finish it today, and start on my last 4 assignments
(somebody inspire me *sniff*)
second event: my tarak-tarak (my car) was taken to the docs (mechanics) again. i love tarak tarak, but he's beeing such a pain lately --
for a brand new car, hes surely is not living up to my expectations-- the docs said theyre changing the alternator and the battery altogether,
good thing its under warranty so i wont have to spend anything (thank God), for the time being im gonna be using this big holden commodore car, i havent driven it yet,
but i think im gonna be wearing some serious HIGH heels just so i can reach the pedal hahahaha
third event: i recently suffered an acne breakout under my jaw (due to stress i think). it's so yucky and it was freaking me out so i went to see this dermatologist, Dr. Sacks
up at Nedlands, anyways being the logically vain person that i am, i decided to go thru his IPL/ALA treatment, hes told me that although it is very expensive,
its the fastest and the most effective. i went for the procedure last friday afternoon and boy was it painful... imagine a continues snap of rubber on your face *ouch*
i now believe that vanity can take you to dark places. the thing is, i had this notion that the acne will disappear straight away, (especially after going thru that
pain) but it didnt, the acnes still there and worse, my face is all red and blotchy and i cant even wash it waaaaaaa
(hes told me not to wash it untill i see him tomorrow afternoon). i suppose he knows what he's doing, but right now
im getting all depressed and paranoid whenever i look at my face *sniff*, i feel like watching the phantom of the opera right now...
coz i can so relate, to that phantom that is :P
oh well, i may be going thru a series of unfortunate events this month,
but i still have more to be thankful for... like my ever supportive family, colleagues, friends, and elmo the dog :-)
and today is my favorite cousins birthday Chei-chei. happy happy birthday!!! (yay yay) and to my friend tracey as well, sorry i couldnt come to your birthday party last night, but you know that i dont usually break my word unless i dont have an uberly valid excuse.
i suppose i can just strive to do better on my remaining assignments, go for some 4-wheel driving when i get tarak-tarak back and ultimately not stress too much and maybe eat healthier once my skin is all ok again. i must admit not stressing out would be a challenge
because working full time and studying masters at the same time is very very hard and demanding, but then im almost thru my first sem, so yeah...
i know i'll make it through and i'll survive.
God bless everyone!

today really sucked.
i got the result of my third assignment and i flunked it *$%$@@!@ *inhales, exhales*
and its too bad i couldnt find appropriate "I AM ANGRY AND I WANT TO KILL THE WORLD" icons right now.
after getting distinction and high distinction on my first 2 assignments, i was prettydisappointed when i got the result of the third one. what a blow.
i was never confident with that academic essay, but i didnt really expect that i was gonna fail it.
i was pretty sick when i was doing that assignment. i was suffering from gastro at that time and couldnt think straight, but that is such a pretty lame excuse to use as i was definitely not sick days before that. i slacked off and got too confident i guess, i wasnt sure if i was doing the right theory but i was too proud and too lazy to clarify it with my lecturer.
i did the academic essay about "social role theory" when i was supposed to examine a "public relations role theory", so all the things i wrote were basically irrelevant, just sounded good but simply useless.
when we had our break earlier i told some of my classmates about my result and one of them was complimenting on the way i was handling the news, coz last time, when he failed our first assignment, he went bananas, and went mental and started telling off our lecturer and totally shocked the rest of the class, i must say that was one major highlights of my first semester though hahaha, (not to mention this one). so now hes got this silly idea that i am more emotionally matured than him *lols* just because i didnt do a "tom cruise" stunt, doesnt mean im all emotionally matured :P if only he knew what emotions i was going through earlier.
its like you know when im shopping and i found something really really really nice and i get really really really excited, that i sometimes have to step out the store so i could breathe, well its kinda like that feeling but in a not so happy, exciting way.
worse i was actualy sitting right in front of my lecturer and was extremely trying to stay sane and collected-- i couldnt even absorb anything that she was saying, because deep inside i was going through some serious emotions and was trying so hard to control and assess them. it was awful.
oh well shit happens i suppose.
but the good news is, she's actually giving me another chance to do it again, (i could actually kiss her for that) theres no way i'll get a distinction of course, but i will now have a chance to redeem my ego by getting a passing grade, yay yay, well hopefully ill pass it this time, im quite happy with that, thank God.
oh yeah, and i finally got the right books too.
hmmmm

i dont know why you guys think my new lay-outs a bit eerie, what's so eerie about a little child standing on a chair, with leaves and teddy bears floating and flying around? and what about the teddy bear holding an umbrella? that can't possibly be eerie, dont you think he's adorable at all?
(supposing its a "he" of course)
is it because the teddy bears are so skinny, or is it because of the cape-blanket effect :P?
too batmanish perharps?
oh well, eerie or not, am gonna be keeping this design for a while, i kinda like it a lot :D
and ive added a few more links below, i'll continue adding some more links as i go.
hullo hullo everyone!

its official! i am back!!!
actually, im supposed to be working on some major assignments right now, but I needed something to ponder on that did not involve anything about academic essays
*sighs* i missed blogging, i so miss writing my nonsensical thoughts, neverending and nonsensical rantings, drama drama drama...
it is so much lighter than writing academic essays, that's become an evil word to me now, just hearing it gives me the zits.
ho! i cant wait for sembreak (whenever that is)
