it's a holiday!!

my exams are well and truly over! (at least for now) and i'm so glad the weekend's here! coz that means camp is tomorrow - and i can't wait to get away from here for a few days :)

i hope i'll hv a blast - of coz i can't guarantee it but i do want to make the most of the time at camp, and get to know a few ppl more along the way...

good news - finally got an increment today - it wasn't really much compared to what others may be getting if u're working elsewhere, BUT by kdu standards it was actually not bad. i braced myself for worst actually. so i'm feeling quite happy now. hehehe...

not so good news - my aunt janet (dad's younger sister) has just been diagnosed with a tumor in her brain. she had headaches, went for scanning and found out. mum told me my aunt shared with them that she had heard from the Lord, that this is a "special assignment" for her, and she's not afraid becoz she knows He's with her, and i'm just encouraged to know she's doin alrite. her treatment started yesterday (don't really have the details, only know it'll be on-going for 2 weeks), so i'd really appreciate that you'll keep her in your prayers. she's had breast cancer bout 2 yrs ago, so this cud be a relapse. she's in her early 40s, not married.

both my roommates are moving out in may - and i'll surely miss them both, but thank god, He's faithful to help us fill in the vacancies in no time :) Irene's future sis-in-law is coming, and Meera too! it'll be interesting to hv new roomies...hehe

alrite, happy labor day weekend peeps, and i'll c u next week.

i'm supposed to be studying

it's past 1.30 am and i'm supposed to be up studying. but no, i find myself reading books, chatting, checking emails and blogging :P hahaa, i guess the one good thing is that now my few readers have something to read the next time they come to my blog. keke.

i wasn't feeling too well today - and i think i'm goin to hv a sore throat. i promptly went to bed after i got home from work and din get up til like 11pm. hah. so much for studying today.

got an email from my elder sis - which always makes my day. considering that we were always getting on each other's nerve while growing up, it's amazing that we get along so well now. then again, we haven't been living together since i was bout 16, so that's like wat, 10 years? i've been in pj for the past 6 yrs, and she in brunei for slightly longer. i was telling her that absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and when you don't see someone all the time, u remember the good things and not the bad...

living away from home, sometimes it's easy to be detached from family. lately my dad has been calling me more often than usual coz i was helping him buy a 2nd hand CPU from my college and he's been asking me bout the progress, and etc. it's actually good to talk to dad, even if it's bout mundane stuff. and the bonus is always talkin to Ezra after that.

the last time i told him "i miss u lar" he asked me "why you always say that one?" and i told him it's because i missed him lar! then later he said "what did u say just now?" i was baffled, so i said "what did i say? i din say anything." and his cheeky reply? "you said u missed me rite?" hahaha...i have a smart alec for a brother *rolls eyes*

now i'm wishing july wud come fast so i can go on my trip back home...

another post? so soon?

i'm actually blogging again!!! *blows whistle* *clap clap* ok, enuf fanfare

actually i'm blogging becoz i dun feel like working. i still hv quite a bit to finish up before my presentation tonite but i just hv no mood. i been quite lucky this week coz the new semester at work only starts next week. so i've been sleeping in a bit later than normal and coming in to work at 9 instead of 8.

i been walking to work since tues - coz my colleague has to come early (her younger sis just registered for a course here in kdu and has 8am classes). lugging that silly laptop with me is no joke. but still alive so far. today when i went up the overhead bridge, i saw a man standing there. immediately my heart raced. i din even stop to look and i just walked as quickly as i can and down the steps. i might be paranoid - but everytime i see a guy on that bridge my mind flashes back to the time when that pervert flashed me. yucks. anyway, thank god nothing happened la.

it's 19 days til the end of exams for me. counting down counting down...

assignments getting the better of me still

since i bugged ev to blog, and she did, i now hv no excuse not to blog. even tho what i shud be doing rite now is working on the assignments due tomoro and fri :P sigh. i really will be one glad lady when may comes a-rolling...

we had one presentation yesterday - so that's one down, 2 more to go...i need more motivation!! but at least i dun feel so much like a delinquent student anymore, and last fri when i went to uni and had to run around doing things here and there, i am reminded that the life of a student is not an easy one :D man, i was tired and i hadn't even accomplished much.

my lecturer for yesterday's class gave an extension for the project paper we're supposed to hand in to her. yay! so mb that explains my rather cheery mood. hehehe. but i still hv got to make time to study for exams, so i still hv to do it quick la.

oklar, enuf bout assignments. i'm hoping life wud get more interesting after this month. there are lots of things i plan on doing - ALL after my exams. talk bout being ambitious huh? ;)
