Make yourself comfortable. The ride is just about to begin.
I love how it's 5.3o in the evening and there are no signs of it getting dark anytime soon. It's just as sunny as it was this afternoon.
Spring is finally here. :)
Running away from my commitments? You could say that.
I have faith that this will get better..
Absolutely shitty week. It started off with a bang and it's all downhill, and it's only Friday! I've lost count on the people I've dissapointed and how many times.
I'M SORRY EVERYONE!
Home in 3 days. I need this.
I wonder if when I come back from this break, how different things will be,
you said you needed time and you had time
what did you decide?
It's ringing in my head.
I wonder if I'm going home at all, but that's a different story.
I'm listening to Tango Redd's Let's Cheat and it's hella sexy and it's making me wish I had another boyfriend so I could cheat on him with Shaymal. If that makes sense.
One thing I hate about the life here is that there's always something that needs to be done. If I'm done with some major assignment (OB in class test) I have to get started on something else more trivial (laundry). I want to be selfish for once and make other people do my work for me so I can just rest for a bit. A part of me feels that I shouldn't be going home just yet because so many things have yet to be finalised and it's annoying the hell out of meeeeee.
Highlight of Malaysian Evening today: I won the first prize lucky draw. Booya! A voucher for 50% off at a Chinese Restaurant. YAY :)
Have soooo much to do tomorrow, it's not even funny.
Shaymal just blew his horn into my face. It's time for bed.
...like I'm wasting my time.
Show me this is going to be worthwhile.
Because I don't need this.
Friday
8 p.m. Greg next door asks Sven innocently enough if were off to Funky Guppy. Sven says yes. Proceeds to invite the whole of next door over to our place for drinking games.
9.30 p.m Eastwood 2 raids our kitchen. And when I mean raid, they RAIDED. Shaym said, "You know they all wanted to come over so we wouldn't have to mess up pur kitchen." Nice. Incredibly confusing games follow up. As usual, E2 dominate the game and proceed to be sick in our toilet. Clockwise above: Alex, Some Dude, Stuart, Greg, Sarah, Matt, Priyesh and Shaymal. Us E3-ians are way too soft core for them. Quite sad.
Oh fuck, I can't be arsed. We had another round of Ravagement with fellow BBA-ians after E2 left and we went off to Funky Guppy which I will never go for again for a LONG time. The guys played dress up and decked out in suits, I couldn't be bothered. Got sick in the toilet thanks to prior drinking games but did not want to leave Jennie all alone. We both ended up getting really bored and we went home around 2. Could not sleep so followed Shaym and Priyesh around terrorising the neighbourhood with the damned tabla and horn. They both got caught and was almost given "disciplinary action". Luckily, they apologised and got off. Went back to Shaym's to watch OC and was falling asleep. Shaym was still hyper and wanted to watch Coyote Ugly and was reciting all the dialogue which he knew by heart. Concluded the fact that my boyfriend was sad and switched off Coyote Ugly so I could sleep.
Fucking hell, I'm hating blogger. Got loads of pics. But ergh, pictures are so hard to upload and sequence. So fuck it.
Had a good party-filled weekend. On Saturday the guys hosted a Pro-evo socceer tournament in out house. Around twenty guys milled around our kitchen and me and Jennie in the corner taking pictures and passing out chocolates to those who lost. The banter that came out off all the guys was hilarious.
Had interview with Baker Tilly today, went alright. Won't know till later. Bah.
Going to Nando's again tonight! :D Meanwhile, Sven has discovered the goodness that is Indo Mee and has eaten 3 packets so far. Crazy.
I wish it was the weekend again.
-Old post I forgot to put up-
Oh just had to blog about this, totally forgot.
"I bet you and Shaym are having a lotta fun!"
"Erm, yeah I guess it's what normal people who are dating do.."
"Hmm, I bet you guys are at 4th base.."
"Trinna...THERE IS NO 4TH BASE!!!"
For the record, it's called home base. And no, we aren't there.
Excuse my dear friend Trinna, who has only recently been able to release all her repressed hornyness after all this while. She's been on a high of curiousity of the sexual status of all of us even more than usual lately. For some reason, she can't seem to comprehend why I haven't gone further. Bless her.
I admit it annoyed the heck out of me but even more so because I actually seemed prudish to the idea. Which is not the case at all.
Having been involved in only one serious relationship which had to be a long-distance one meant that I didn't see Ritch half the time we were together. So, obviously we flew by the whole physical thing pretty quickly, it was more of a case of "catching up on lost time" than anything really.
I see Shaymal every day here and he lives less than a minute away from me. For once, I'm taking my time to actually enjoy his company and just spending time together without having to be lip-locked for a whole hour. It's something I haven't been able to enjoy for a long time.
It's been another mad weekend of work. Haven't had the time to really just take a break and chill out, so I'm hoping time flies by quickly enough for the 1st of April to come.
We got another 2.1 for our context negotiation. Good stuff for two days worth of INCREDIBLY last minute work. Sean wasn't quite happy with our grade, even to the point of telling Millington, "Sir, I think that mark is too low". Millington just laughed back at him. Nice. Everyone is just glad it's all over and out of the way-which means no more staying up till one in the library having spinny chair races. :)
Apart from that, got short-listed for an interview with LEHMAN BROTHERS this Tuesday! So I'm in the in the midst of busting my ass researching the company and (ergh) trying to be up to date with business news. It's taking up a lot of time and I hope I get this position-it'll just mean I'll have another thing over and done with. In the meantime, have sent out apps for HSBC also.
Admittedly, our course has the most things going on since we're the only bunch to go off on a placement so soon. The workload is immense, but I'm really enjoying myself at the same time (though it may not seem like it!) . I'm wrapping up myself in work so much I'm starting to think it's becoming a bit too unhealthy. Yesterday, I lost track of time finishing up my applications I forgot to take my washing out from the machines at the laundrette-and someone had took them out and put them in a dryer. It was ten minutes worth of panic thinking someone had stolen my clothes, until Shaym actually thought of looking in the dryers.
Anyway, the sooner everything is done, the better.
I'd rather be spending time wasting time with you,
You make everything so easy...
I hate how I only feel the urge to blog when I'm feeling particularly melancholy or pensieve- and I'm prone to using big words like melancholy and pensieve.
Whatever. Things are going by way too fast here. It's already March! What have I been doing with myself? There's this sick feeling in my stomach that I am destined to become a workaholic once my career kicks off. I know I've always been ambitious-(borderlining on obsessive maybe) but I'm starting to actually think about going into investment banking. It's a horrifying thought, slaving away my life for money. But I've been doing a lot of research, mainly for my whole application thing now, and it's somehow becoming more and more appealing. The investmant banking I'm referring to is trading of course, the riskier version of corporate finance. I just don't think I really cut out for marketing at the moment honestly, I think I'm more suited for something a little, less creative?
Weather here has been beyond weird. Sun shining alternating with snow storms. Just when I wanted to go out and play in the snow, it stops and the sun shines again. Much to macha's happiness, who was being a grumpy scrooge and wanted to stay in.
Oh, macha took me to Nando's yesterday night. I hardly eat Nando's at home and I come all the way here to eat it. I saw a huge sign outside the restaurant that said 2 for 1 meals for students on Monday nights.
"Hey, did you know it was buy 1 meal and get another free today?"
"Erm, no.....no I didn't know.."
Me--> -_- "My ass.."
I was well hungry so I insisted on a half a chicken which didn't sound big at all.
"I want half!"
"You know you're not going to finish it."
"I will, I'm starving.."
And half an hour later,
"Told you, you weren't gonna finish it."
"Shut up..." *Packs half the chicken in doggy bag*
We are exactly NOWHERE for our context presentation. We're screwed. Our meetings involve ordering pizza, watching TV and playing Playstation- damn unproductive. DIE.
Oh, today is PANCAKE DAY. About a week ago we made pancakes for fun and they turned out really nice. Today wasn't very good. It was basically us girls, armed with a Nigella Lawson recipe and the boys with a ready made batter mix. Nigella is a little chunky for a reason, her recipe had too much butter in it that our pancakes couldn't cook properly and were all greasy. We just watched as the guys gobbled down theirs with envy. Pancake Day was such a dissapointment.
Alritey, off to bed. An ungodly 8.15 tomorrow.
