i've been so busy lately...
with work... and then the futsal tournament, the first event for MASCA 09/10 commmittee...
i had a little less than 3 hours of sleep last night cos the cooking had to start really early.
so i was pretty sleepy at the end of it...
but we still had time to go to a kenduri afterwards.
watched a couple of films with laila when i got back.
and was looking at a photo of which my brother had recently replied my comment confirming that it is truly my cat, Comel...
the once fat and ever so clean Comel...
that now looks like a cat that i hardly recognize!
dirty, thin, frail, and looked like was in a lot of pain.
i was furious yet felt like it was our fault for leaving them for so long.
for one thing, when you're taking care of someone else's property/pet/things...
you should be so careful in making sure that when we come back everything is being maintained.
but this???
this was just awful.
i called my dad straight away and his reply just made me want to burst into tears.
knowing that would just make him malas to layan me... i held it in.
my brother and father just do not understand the importance of these cats.
their family has been with us for generations, since their mother, as a matter of fact.
Bobo and Comel have been ours since ... a little before 2004?
they're really old now..
we took care of their mother... their kids.. which eventually died one by one...
and they've stayed with us for longer than we could imagine!
sorry for going on for too long about this...
but i just cannot wait to go back to KL and bring them to the vet and just give them some TLC!
on a brighter note:
this was the Strawberry & Chocolate Crepe i had a few nights ago when laila and i were just out to be fashionably social in the Adelaide night life ;p
so.. the move is over.
my room has yet to be cleaned up.
with time, i figure i'll be able to find a way to make it work.
sleep is already a plus here.
no direct sunlight... even when ur blinds are closed!
and so quiet... not having to wake up to annoying laughs and people cooking in the middle of the night.
i can honestly tell you that i have my pros and cons list for being in this new home compared to the old one.
i'm not sure which side is winning...
once i figure that out, maybe i'll even tell you.
anyway,
got plans coming up :D
can't wait for them to finally start running...
... i'm starting to think that december won't be so bad :)
okay, because i have nothing more to say,
and i feel super drowsy,
i will leave it at that.
people come and go in your life right?
well, more in mine, i guess.
so it's something that i've learned to live with.
i'm someone who appreciates every friendship i encounter...
but i know my limits...
when it should stop, or when it has to be stopped, when it's deserved or not.
in this case.. it's not really stopping... more like moving on to the next phase.
but of course, jumpe lagi kt msia right? :D
so many of my friends are leaving this year...
Adelaide's just gonna become more boring next year. and here i was thinking Adelaide cudnt get worse.
but nevermind that i guess.
we'll always keep in touch and have pictures for memories, yes?
well,
last week I went for a dinner with the 08/09 MASCA committee members.
i had one of the best dinners since i've been here.
it was fun to get together again like we used to.
and for the last time, i guess, cos most of us are leaving for good.
most of the pictures are with a friend of mine,
but i snapped pictures of my food! haha!~
the pancake was soooo soft and .... puffy?
yum yum!~
and the salad was soooo fresh, i actually ate it!! hahaha..
and then we had a photo session afterwards.
and hung around in the arcade.
hello :)
i just finished watching one of the many series that i follow now that i have nothing to do -_-!
so now i am bored out of my mind.
there's NADA for me to do! except maybe get a head start on cleaning up my room before the inspection... but too lazy. hahaha
i've finally bought that dress that i desperately longed for.
it cost me quite a sum... but i'm just trying to think the positive things this dress will bring me! hahaha.
thanks to my wonderful PA, i did not go on to other stores to splurge some more on accessories :D but that doesn't mean i won't go again before i leave for holidays :P
today was TWLOHA day :)
i tried to look around for those who were participating.
didn't see anyone.
i wished there was a wrist band!
so, here is my fair share on this lovelaaayyyy day:
it's the 9th of November, 2009.
exactly 2 years ago, our love story bloomed :)
him, 4 hours late...
me, having done my fair share of window shopping, waiting.. almost getting impatient.
2 years later.
he still can't be trusted to arrive on time...
me? i've just fixed my timing so i'll be there approximately 2.5 hrs after the time he promised. give and take la kan? haha. i dont know if that even has anything to do with it!
but nevermind all the CONS!
the most important thing: we've made it through to this time, this year, this very moment...
and hoping to make it through to the same time every year... til as long as we're fated to be together?
we balance each other out,
he's patient, i know the limits, he's understanding, i look out for our future.
i love u, more and more after everytime you put up with my nonsense and negativity for every small matter.
*sigh*
it feels so good to remember the good old days.
i've been reminiscing the past with one of my best friends.
i think i've mentioned him before, Leandro.
it's amazing how much he remembers, even people's last names!
but unfortunately we couldn't find everyone else on the internet.
can't wait for next trip to new york.
sometimes i wonder what the path would've been like if i had stayed in new york.
and my sister just called me.
it's about 2++am in Dublin right now..
she wasn't feeling well and she wanted to tell me what was bothering her.
she was just her usual manja-self... and i donno.. she's started talking to me about her feelings and everything recently.
this time i felt that i shouldn't be mean to her. haha. even though when i talked about me, she started saying "okay yanie.. let's go back to about me.. not you"..haih. self-centered betul!
i'm glad she still remembers me in this desperate time of need.
she knows she can count on me, even though we fight like it's wwIII.
i am someone who knows what i want and will stand up for it.
other people might feel intimidated, but that isn't my fault.
that's just the way it is.
hm...
the last few days have been quite a handful for me.
unexpected emotional rollercoaster...
which i don't know where it came from!
but in the end, i held myself together..
i had my last class last wednesday,
last submission and everything.
ive just found out that what we have in store for next year's off-shore studio!
it's similar to the Penang Studio i went on...
only this one is a little further away.
every fourth year.. we have the opportunity to choose an elective that is based off-shore.
this year.. it's in the freakin Nordic countries!
we start off in Helsinki, Finland... move on to Sweden... and finish up in Copenhagen, Denmark!
i honestly can say that i'm excited for this...
til i saw how much it would cost me.
damn the economY!
or else it would be much easier for me be able to find the moolah!
that will be on top of my list for next year!
including, of course, my awaiting Nikon D90!! i'm so excited! i just can't hide it!
first thing i get to Malaysia next year is to get my sweet, sweet camera!
an accomplishment for me i would say, to be able to save up money like that.
rather than sitting in my comfortably cold room in the middle of summer..
i would go snap photos of beautiful things.
but then again... the weather IS extremely hot here.
beats malaysia!
thankfully i live in the village...
unlimited airconditioning!~
i just thought i'd update the blog with something.
and i'll leave it with these pictures:
these were taken during Qys' bday and a few random ones :)
