Right, now if you have been reading my blog long enough, you would know that as it gets closer to my semester break, I would usually come up with a list of things that I wanna do during my holidays.
Well I finally have it and here it is! In no particular order...
Self-pampering: This semester has been a pretty rough one for me and a little bit of self-pampering is in order. The first thing i'm gonna do when i get back is see my hairstylist. My hair looks terrible right now. It's out of shape, messy and just downright wrong. I've been stressing over it for a really long time now and i still have no idea what to do with it =( Any suggestions on what i should do to my hair?
Travelling: The parents and I have our flights booked to go to Hong Kong for 5 days this June! Whopee! I've always wanted to go there since reading so many blogs about how nice the place is! And now i get to go there! Whee! Gonna be fun and probably gonna be doing some shopping there as well!
Besides Hong Kong, there's also the customary twice a year pilgrimage to Singapore but this time it's gonna be different. This time Singapore will be with the girls! Melll we're coming for you darling! And you shall bring us to all the cool clubs there and we shall dance the nights away!
Shopping: Oh yeah. I have the longest shopping list ever with me right now. Some of the things that i have to get include a new purse, new sleeve for my iPhone, more shorts, new clothes, a new school bag to use for classes, sunnies, more new clothes, a new Swatch, new jeans, running shoes, dressy shoes and the list goes on forever. Nothing exorbitantly expensive on my list this time though, which is a good thing.
Friends and Family: A big chunk of my holiday will be dedicated to these people. Yumchar sessions with the girls, meetups with friends and dinners with the family is definitely something i'm looking forward to! =D If any of you wanna meet up (from 28 May onwards), just give me a call alright? ;)
Photography: Most of you would probably realize that i'm putting up significantly less photos this year. Well to say that i didn't have time and that i was too busy this semester would be an excuse. So I'm gonna make it up to myself by going for more photo outings this holidays (Hui Wen! Jom!!) and also if things go well, get the opportunity of learning from some brilliant (female) wedding photographers this holidays.
Boyfriend: Me being away from him all the way in uni here hasn't been easy on him (and me as well). And i'll be honest, we've had our fair share of rough times. So this holidays is gonna be spent making up for the times that we've been apart =)
That's about it. I think i've pretty much got everything covered! Am psyched out about the holidays just by looking at this already! =D
Back to the books right now. Progress is not quite as good as i expected it to be but hopefully it'll get better soon! I still have that agreement with my parents to fulfill so that should give me the push i need. I really really don't want my iPhone to be taken away. I've grown too fond of it already <3
Also, tomorrow night me and my friends from uni are probably gonna be going clubbing in Ipoh... o.O
Yeah i know, you're probably wondering 'There are clubs in Ipoh?'. lol, well apparently there are! Though, clubbing, alcohol, uni friends and Ipoh never appeared in the same sentence for me before. This is gonna be an interesting first.
Hence, studying shall be done before enjoying oneself's night out.
Cheers everyone!
gosh, i didn't realize that i haven't updated in close to 5 days!
my apologies though. i've been busy with so many things, i lost track.
it's already my study week for me. which means that it's only another 1 week till my finals.
and i'm kinda worried.
my coursework marks aren't as good as they could have been this time around.
so i'll have to work twice as hard for my finals.
so not looking forward to that =(
On a brighter note, i am looking forward to what i'll be doing during my holidays!
The highlight of my holidays is definitely being able to go for the Assumption Worlds Universities Debate Competition in Thailand! (Much love to my dad for this <3 )
It is the biggest debating competition held every year that involves universities from all over the world in one of the most gorgeous universities in Thailand.
it can't get any better than that! =D
I'll be going to Thailand a day earlier than the registration day and coming back one day after the last day of the competition. i''ll be able to go around Bangkok for some shopping and some photo-snapping with this extra time!
Whopee!
Singapore is also on my list of places to go to.
I miss my brother and my sister so so much! and i wonder how big Bailey has gotten too!
I just really love going to singapore because i get total independence there. I can go wherever i want, whenever i want.
Their public transportation service is excellent and you can access the whole of Singapore with it.
And the best part is that the place is so much safer compared to KL.
Some retail therapy and some lazing around there would do me much good!
And hopefully i'll be able to go to Sentosa Island this time around.
Other than that, i might head up to Penang and down to Malacca and East to Kota Kinabalu too!
These three places are still in the planning stages though.
All this in one month and a half. So little time, so many places to go to!
Suddenly i can't wait for my exams to be over! XD
Where will you be going this holidays?
i've been on holidays for close to a month and a half now, which means classes are gonna start soon, and i've got to return to uni this weekend...
but before i do that, remember my to-do and to-buy list i made before the holidays started here ? well, this post is gonna be about whether or not i've fulfilled what was on that list. so here goes!
A. Things to do
1. wrap my new novels / books! i cannot stand my precious novels and books naked without the plastic wrapping =p
ok technically i've got most of my novels wrapped already.
2. read my 12 new novels / books!
i didn't manage to finish all 12. i did however finish about 4 of them =D
3. by hook or by crook, i must watch the Prestige and Step Up! i heard they're good!
not finished =(
4. learn how to sail! technically this is already confirmed. i'll be sailing on STS (sail training ship) Puteri Mahsuri with YAWA (Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam)! mind you, i'm not learning how to sail one of those puny yachts. this is gonna be the big mama ship! imagine Pirates of the Carribean! arrrrrr ye may-tees!
sailing got cancelled around 2 weeks before we were supposed to set sail.. *sob sob*
5. getting my hair done. i haven't had a haircut in 4 months and my hair looks like a broom!
got this done! highlighted my hair! although i can't do anything much about it looking like a broom cause it's just like that at this length =/
6. going down to Singapore to see my sis and my bro! haven't seen
them in ages. plus! i wanna hog my bro-in-law's xbox and 42" plasma tv
*grins evilly* and i wanna see how big Bailey, my sister's cute albeit
naughty black cocker spaniel has grown up!
Singapore was great! Click here to check it out!
7. go for the National Health Sciences Debate hosted by IMU Malaysia and the Pre-Worlds Debate hosted by NTU Singapore!
Made it for both and they were great experiences!
8. Watch Desperate Housewives Season 2, Grey's Anatomy Season 2! and
i'm definitely getting my hands on the latest episodes as well!
Hell yeah! Grey's Anatomy Season 2 rocks! and even better, i have season 3 in my comp now muahahaha >=)
9. meet up with my sweet darlings! The happening gang and the chickos! the debaters and the old gang! oh i've missed them so!
done! multiple yumchar sessions, lunches, outings etc. as testaments to that!
10. going to watch Reuben's, Su Yin's and Shwe Ying's play and production! Reuben's producing a play, Yin and Ying are acting in one! wheee i'm so excited for them!
although much looked forward to, i didn't make it to anyone of them because i was in singapore while the plays were going on =(
11. joining YDC (Youth Dhamma Camp) or hopefully, be one of the facilitators for it! It's gonna be held in Port Dickson this time and i'm not exactly sure whether i'll be going for it yet or not. if i become a faci, i'll definitely go! but i'm not really in the mood to become a participant.
didn't make it for this one too. i admit though, i didn't go mainly because my friends weren't going and also because i didn't put in much effort in going for it.
12. look for a part-time job. i don't know whether there are places
who employ people for just 3 weeks but a part-time job would be great.
i've always wanted to work but never got the chance, and the extra
money will come in handy!
ok i tried getting this done! i actually registered with an agency but the people there didn't even give me a call about any single opening. so technically i did accomplish it right? cause it says 'look' for a part-time job, not 'get' a part-time job =p
13. go mall-hopping with Su Ann when she's back from Australia! we
must go and visit Cats Whiskers and Gossips! they're like the new 'in'
boutiques in town!
done! gossips boutique and cats whiskers, visited!
14. spending New Year's with besties! We're planning either to go down to KL or to Port Dickson to celebrate!
hell yeah! new year was the best! The Sanctuary rocks!
B. Things to buy / get
1. Laptop! i've been having my eye on the Toshiba A100-P543! anyone got any good recommendations for laptops?
got it! and not just a p543, but a p545! i'm in love with it. the graphics on it rocks! <3
2. pair of casual shoes. maybe a pair of pumas. i want something
different though, not the usual Nike Cortezes or the regular Adidas
Superstars.
pimpin' pair of Nikes - bought!
3. a pair of 1inch heeled sandals. i need something that makes me look more girlish!
haven't gotten this yet.. might not get it after all =/
4. more clothes! i need a wardrobe makeover!
yeaps i did get more clothes this time around! not till the extent of a wardrobe makeover though.
5. maybe a pair of sunnies! i've always wanted a pair of Oakleys or Maui Jim!
don't have the budget for it yet. it can wait though.
6. black nail polish. i have the sudden urge to paint my nails black.
did this! i should've taken a photo of when my nails are black!
7. novels - 5 people you meet in heaven, memory keeper's daughter, anna karenina, pride and prejudice and more!
i did get a few novels this time around. i got 5 people you meet in heaven, the other side of Israel and a few more!
8. a new mp3 player! life's different without one. unfortunately my Zen Micro got stolen. stupid bastards who stole it! a new one will definitely do me good!
also don't have the budget for this yet. might get it to treat myself for my results though =p
9. i want a new handphone too. my current one is too fat for a girl to use. throw it at a cow and the cow will faint immediately.
also didn't have the budget for this yet. and plus i haven't found a phone that i really like yet either.
10. a digital camera! life's so hard without one =/
i have a feeling i can get away with bringing dad's digicam back with me to uni XD
i'm pretty happy with how much i've accomplished this holidays! i actually got quite a lot done! and bought a lot of stuff too lol! aight then! here's to more to come! cheers!
for me, studying in a university that is extremely far from civilisation, i always looked forward to going home. and most all of the time, i will be armed with 2 lists. 1 list is for things to do. another list is of things to buy. so here are those lists for my coming semester break! (in no particular order)
A. Things to do
1. wrap my new novels / books! i cannot stand my precious novels and books naked without the plastic wrapping =p
2. read my 12 new novels / books!

okay, i think that's about it. if anything else comes to my mind, i'll add it in...
now..

me thinks that's about it. i highly doubt i can get hardly a quarter of the things i've listed on 'things to get / buy'. that's why i said a part-time job will do me good! on the other hand, i have no excuse whatsoever for not fulfilling my 'things to do' list!
so there you have it. part of my holidays have been planned out already thanks to these lists. man i can't wait for my holidays to get here. i'm more excited about it than my exams, when in fact my exams are before my holidays!
alright i've gotta run! gotta continue studying physics! ciao peeps! have a great weekend!
