I recall snapping at someone for calling me "Sis".
Somehow, I hate that word.
Unless we're from the same mom or dad, I don't see why you have to go around calling everyone Sis just because we share the same religion.
Why this sudden recollection?
I bloghopped to someone's blog that I've not visited in a long time and I read one of the comments.
Just a random thought.

Actually, truth be told, I'm procrastinating. On top of that, I'm in denial.
I've not done my lesson plans for next week.
And soon, it's back to work. Shucks.
For a while, it felt great to be a "taitai".
Hur.
Such dreams.

Well, it's Friday night and I'm positive everyone's got somewhere to go, something to do. Except for moi.
It's actually a good thing.
Cos if I were actually out tonight, I dunno what I'd be pigging out on.
As it is, chocolates, nougats, nuts, apples, cherries and peaches are within reach.
I've been munching on them the whole day!

Gotta chill...
The stomach I mean.

He made such a racket over Skype that I had to finally create a Facebook account. He was whining about how long I've actually pushed aside that task and now that I finally have time on my hands, I'm not doing anything about it. He refused to allow me to sleep until I created one. He kept bugging that he couldn't find me and wouldn't leave me alone till he actually found me!
I doubt I'll be active in it, just like how inactive I was in Friendster.
I just don't have the time!
Anyway, I put up 2 pix cos they were in my phone and I just bluetoothed them over but he has put in so many photos of me. So, he's doing all the work.
Haha...

I'm full but I'm salivating thinking of a plate of mee rebus.
Sighz.

I still have that test to create.
Finally done with the exam one.

Not in the best of moods.
Fuck.

I'm disgusted! Read the papers this morning. Prime news... boring. As usual.
Home news disgusted me.
If you know your religious obligations, why do you even do it? And the (useless) husband has the audacity to comment that he should be the one reprimanding the wife and taking her in hand. Hello, if you had done that in the first place, is there a need for a court decision to be made? And obviously his foundation knowledge is screwed up too.
Seriously.
All I can say is... What the fuck people?
I'm not implying I'm pious, but since you got caught, just fucking admit it and go through all the shit and fucking shut up about it. Don't put up a martyr act when you know you're screwed up in your knowledge too. Now the whole world knows and you're fucking shamed to the point of humiliating your family.
Stupid!

And there's this article on subconscious racial remark made by the brain. Doesn't it sound silly? How can it be "subconscious" racial remark triggered off by a certain part of the brain? Seriously, humans are like sponges. If you're racist, or more precisely, ethnicist, it's because you learnt to be one! Your parents and family are most probably racists too! You grew up thinking racist thoughts. You're not borne a racist, that's for sure. You learn. You soak it all up. Freaks. How can it be "subconsciously" triggered off by the brain?
Sociology people. We're talking sociology here. Go and fucking do a module on race and ethnicity.

I'm all riled up! Which is not doing me any good.
Cos I'm hungry. Hungrier when I'm riled.
At least I'm done with the exam questions.
I'm still left with that test. Will do it by today.
Yes, yes, yes.
Then I need to source for shoes.

Again.

Happy Birthday Mum!
I pray for your good health and prosperity...
Amin.

And these are for you Haz! Hope these make your day!
As requested...





It's still in its wrapper!

=)

Update: Think I've to start buying now. They don't come cheap. I'm a fussy dresser.

Hubby's sweet. He satisfied my craving for jam sandwich cookies from Marks and Spencer today.
I ate the whole pack.
Ooops!

I'm drifting in and out of sleep. It feels like I've not woken up yet.
I'm bored but I don't know where to go.
I'm thinking of dinner with hubby.
So much for wanting to wash his bike. He's fast asleep now after coming back from the wedding reception.
I'm yawning my day away and with such gloomy weather, I can't bring myself to do much.
I told myself, I'll do all that tomorrow. We'll see...

I'm surfing around for information but couldn't quite get what I'm searching for.
The websites haven't been of much help.
Guess I'll still have to consult the school's admin staff.

I've been surfing around. They look so frumpy.
Help!

I'm praying for the best.
InsyaAllah...

I feel that it's atrocious. How can you openly sell replica bags out in the open? Via multiply. Don't you think that it breaches the copyright policy? I was surfing through a friend's site and I clicked on one of the links posted on the shoutout. The audacity of some people.

And it just dawned on me that this is the year of having babies. At least for my friends who are expecting to deliver soon. One of them is actually due today! Wow... I can only imagine that it'd be a huge change in one's life. Right from your sleeping habits to your emotional needs. When I do have a baby, I doubt I can do without a domestic helper. It's what I'm used to. Mum had her mummy and the maid around. Wait... who am I kidding? I can't do without a domestic helper even for now. Heh. Well, I'm learning. I've never done so much housework in my entire life before till I got married. I've learnt to make the bed, keep my clothes (and hubby's) in the wardrobe and put my plates in the kitchen sink. That's about all that I can do. Haha. Not much I know but it's a progression. But I only make the bed when hubby's home. Other times, it's back to bibik cleaning up the room. I've never liked the idea of making beds. It's too tiring. There's the smoothing of the fitted sheet, the fluffing of the comforter which is super heavy by the way and the fluffing of the pillows.
After that, I'm beat.

There was once I mentioned that good news have yet to be confirmed right? Well, they're all confirmed now. One of them is the latest bag I bought. I showed it to hubby and he was shocked that I would spend so much on a bag! He thinks that I should be saving that money instead of splurging. I showed to Mum when she returned from Melbourne and she says it's gorgeous. But I promised hubby that I won't be buying any more bags this year. Next year, it's a different story. Hehe. But conscience did prick my mind when the hubby commented. I just never looked at it that way. What he said makes sense which is why what he said makes me feel guilty for spending so much money. I have to admit though that keeping that promise will prove to be quite tough for me. That implies that I can't go window-shopping anymore and I have to restrain myself from looking everytime Mum buys a bag.
I need to save more.

It's a mid-year's resolution.

I was in shock but now I'm okay. And the department knows.
I had to inform my boss. Make that bosses.
Their response? Ironic in my opinion, to say the least.

Mum's home. She came home last night around midnight or so and she brought along with her so many munchies!
I love my mummy for knowing us so well.
And the conversations we've had with Asyraf are very entertaining to say the least.
Last night at 7, he called and he wanted to watch the Korean drama that we've always been watching.
So we turned the lappie around so that he can view the TV and he was pretty happy watching the Korean drama from Melbourne with the use of videocam. Then we chatted for a while, lots of nonsense, before he went to bed.
I know he'll be home soon. He has plans to return at the end of the year before his term starts again in February 2010.

Now I've to wake the hubby up from his sweet slumber for dinner.
And I hope Asyraf's doing fine in someone else's land. Knowing him, he should be able to make friends pretty easily. As it is, he's pretty chummy with his dorm mate.
My baby brother's all grown up!
I'm still too used to the idea of chiving him around... at my own convenience.
Haha!

I'm itching to get my hands on a new magazine. I don't feel like re-reading any of the books.
For tonight.
I need to look-see. Without a new magazine, what can I look-see?
I don't think I should be viewing anything online.
That would just invite impromptu purchases.

I miss my hubby.

Update: At 12.10 a.m., I'm famished. Can you believe it?

I've been sleeping through the days. By the time I wake up, it's almost evening.
Just like today. Stomach's been real queasy. There's too much gas and the diarrhea hasn't ceased. In fact, it got worse last night. I don't mind flu and cough as much as stomach flu. With stomach flu, I feel so wasted. The days are gone and so are the nights.
Looking on the brighter side of things, I've 2 more weekdays left before I bid hello to the weekends. Pray that I get through the next 2 days.

I've been told to refrain from having spicy food, solid food and to eat small amounts of food at shorter intervals. For one, I don't enjoy my food. It simply felt like I was eating to fill my stomach so I wouldn't go hungry. And I can't eat much anyway! Eating too much at any point of time gave me discomfort. Oh... just go away. I hate having to eat medicine before I have my food just so I won't throw it up or pass it out. Hubby commented that my cheeks have sunken. How could they not? Everything I ate was either thrown up or passed out.

This feels terrible.
=(

I was suddenly hit with stomach flu yesterday and it had to happen when I was at the driving centre with Nina to purchase her PDL. So there I was in the toilet while she was waiting for her turn, puking away. And I had such a spinning headache, I was surprised I managed to drive home. Nina's been a great help. She helped me to the GP after I parked the car, sponged me cos I had a temperature, a lil high at that too, and just doing everything that I told her to. Thanks dear. But she did get screamed at for the temperature of the water was too cold! She dumped so much ice that I was freezing! And so I'm home today with fever and nausea gone but the spinning headache seems to stay. I'll probably spend the day in bed.

I read Haz's latest entry and she's right! She's in her 33rd week already and that's fast! I pray for an easy delivery dear...
She's gotten a number of things for her baby. It's so exciting! I'm sure you can't wait for the arrival of your cute one! She's gotten a baby bag and it reminded me that I promised myself I wouldn't get another bag till at least next year! It's going to be a tough one to keep!
Well, I'll be waiting for that sms from you Haz, telling us that you've popped! It may be sooner than expected!

The next time I pop into a shop, it'd definitely be a baby shop. =)

I'm on Asyraf's PC now. I think bibik cleaned up his computer table after he left cos now, I can actually find space on this table! A shocking revelation!
And his printer is visible! I must tell him!
There're his nasal sprays and chocolate squeeze on the table though. I wonder what they're doing here. I'll probably tell him I'm taking his chocolate squeeze. Heh. Waiting for him to return may be too late.

I wonder what he brought over. His wardrobe is still overflowing. Anyway, we've been communicating almost everyday. They met Mum's long time friend, Aunty Santhi, who married a Korean man but has been residing in Melbourne and she still looks the same! According to Asyraf. The last time I saw her was when I was in secondary school I think. She's lecturing in one of the institutions there. I've met the hubby before when he came over to visit. Nice man. Apparently the son looks Eurasian. Gotta be the features.

I shopped again yesterday. I bought 2 tops when Nina was the one who was to shop for shorts. They were pretty and they were on sale. Nina did buy her shorts but her stuff are charged to Mum. I lost that privileage when I entered NIE. But Mum still pays for some stuff and I can't complain! I saw this pretty pair of heels from Hue but I restrained from buying it. Somehow, I don't feel too good about it. Contrary to what I've been reading. I may just pop in again to take a second look.

Should I?

Oh, and Happy Youth Day!
*beamz*

I may finally have a solid reason to open up a facebook account. During the holidays, I promised a few people that I would but I just couldn't seem to find the time to get started on it. Ironic, isn't it? Holidays... no time. But I was too busy to do so. When I bidded Asyraf goodbye at the airport, he told me to create a facebook account so that I can be updated with his latest happenings. So maybe, I shall. I just need time to create one. And the mood to do so.

I'm supposed to complete my digi today for Week 2 but I don't have the mood to do it now. Sighz, that's one draining task. I'll probably force myself to do it some time later today. Leave my Monday alone!
I'll probably make use of tomorrow to send the car for servicing.

It's time to resume sleep. Sweet dreams. It's an unearthly hour to be awake on a Sunday morning.

It really irritates me the way she questions. It's too intrusive. Then again, what can one expect from one who's had poor upbringing. Well, that's the kind of impression that I get from her self portrayal. I just hope her child doesn't grow up that way too. But then again, a child is usually close to the mother.
Let's not talk about money. You can't afford half the things I have and the things that I've been showered with as a child. The holidays that I go to since I was a kid. Not that I'm parading myself, but I hate it when people start comparing and think that she's always better than the other. Sure, I always joke around with my siblings and declare that I'm the best. But the truth is no matter how good you are, there's always someone better than you. That's the way we were brought up. Oh she just irks me by the way she asked that question.

Talking about possession of items, I got it! I finally got that Chanel bag that I've been dreaming about! Ooooh... I can't wait for the item to arrive cos it's currently with Abang Emi who's still in Paris. It's 1.2K cheaper. It was a huge temptation that I couldn't resist. Hehe. Asyraf thinks I'm not thinking straight. Oh and he's in Melbourne now. He'll be there for 4 years but I think he's coming back in 6 months time. I miss him cos it's quite different without him around. He's bored when it's at night. Oh I can totally empathise. I've never taken a huge liking to Australia to be frank. The people are rude, the shops close too early and as my age increases, I'm finding that there's nothing for me to buy! And that sucks! How can anyone ever go on a holiday without shoppping?! But I love Europe. The people are friendlier, much friendlier, except for the French. And there's so many things to buy! But I'd still love to go on a shopping spree in States. Kak Ina and I planned to go there for a week or so and do nothing but shop. I don't know when that will happen.

We're currently saving for the house. I don't know how much it is that we need. Cos my parents spent about 80K doing up the house when we first shifted here. That was in 1993. I can't use that as an estimate cos that's seriously way out of our budget. We'll just have to save and see how it goes when the house is ready.

All these financial talk is getting me quite jittery. I think I'm spending too much.
I need to learn to scrimp.
Help me God.
