Christmas has come and gone (thank you for the presents!), and we're 3 days away from 2008.

And still I have been too lazy to post.

I've been trying to make full use of my holiday, but that's proving difficult. Having thought we'd gotten through the endless reports, we were asked to rewrite the final one. Of course, I could've finished it in a few hours (I did that yesterday) but I am such a procrastinator.

My aunt and cousins are also visiting from Perth. I find it irritating when my mum tells me at the last minute that we have to go out for meals because they're here. But what can I do, they're still family and my cousins hardly ever come to visit.

There are still a few things I've been putting off. Decluttering and cleaning out my room, getting back into yoga (sorry Nora!) and organizing my study things. When I stay at home, I get lazy. Meaning I should go out more. hehe

The Mister's going away tomorrow with the boys over New Year's for his best friend's stag night. I hope they have the bestest time. =) Almost everyone I've spoken to have plans for NYE.. alot of them are heading to KK while those staying here have something planned. Heck, even my parents have some place to go. And me? I'm staying in the country AND have nothing to do. Someone mentioned something about hanging out at Phoenix and White Hamster's.

I never really thought about where this year went until one of the girls mentioned it. She's right.. I hardly felt it. But alot happened. Most of it was good. I've just finished my final semester of uni. Most friendships got stronger. Many BH residents got married. My best friend got engaged. God, everyone's getting married. Even more weddings next year.. yes, invites have already started coming in.

I can't tell what the new year will bring, but I'm telling myself it will be even better than this year. =) So here's hoping 2008 brings you good things too.

An advanced 'Happy New Year' to everyone!

Her timing is impeccable

You are spontaneous and love kisses and affection from the one you love. You try to enjoy your life to the maximum and your lovelife is soon to blossom. You will have a great year and will experience a major life-changing experience for the good. Your life will take on a different direction, it will seem hard at times but will be the best thing for you, you will be glad for the change.

You like adventure. You are spontaneous and like to please people.

After last night, I'd like to believe this is true. At least the pleasing people part is. And hell, it's one the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Livin' and Breathin'

Exams have been tension-filled. Nevertheless, I've one more to go. It's the longest 3 wks of my life.

I'm back in the Land of the Living. Last night, at least. Felt strange to get dressed up and drive out without the aim of running errands or rushing to uni for an exam. I haven't seen my friends in over two weeks.. but managed to catch up for a couple hrs with two of the boys (the 3rd joined us later), during which, strange quips of conversation ensued.

R: Mataku gatal..
H: *5 seconds later* What did you say tadi? Apa yang gatal?
R: "Mataku gatal"
H: Oh... thought you said "Aku gatal"..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

H: Panas tadi ah, kami punya chiller rosak.
P: Apa?? Your CINA rosak??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R: I ordered Marisei but I think they don't have it. She gave me something that she says "is like Marisei, but isn't Marisei". It's not too bad though.. different. Try it.
P: *after tasting* R, it's OREGANO WATER!! Or Oregano Juice.
R: WHAT?! You just killed it for me.
Z: *tries some too* Tastes like herb water.
H: Eh? Tadi ku cuba, ada macam strawberry.
R: ......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P: Where's Paddington Bear from? Deepest Peru.. it says so in the song.
R: Really? I didn't know that.. I would've said England 'cos he's got his English accent.
P: Let's ask H. H, where is Paddington Bear from?
H: Hamleys.
P & R: *speechless*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And of course, what's a sit-down with the boys without this...

R: Nyaman sudah?
H: Alum nyaman.. haven't sucked long enough.
R: K then, suck harder!

Nice to know I haven't really missed much...

And I drove around the parking lot with the top down and 2 very tall guys crammed into my little car. One said he missed the smell of Sophia, the other was just happy to feel "naked". Sigh.. boys.
