Done

I’m finally done for my semester. Done done done! I’m happy because I can finally have a break; breathe; be stress free without having to worry about deadlines. It felt like a short semester but at the same time, it’s also been one hectic semester for me. I remember those days when I have to work and then take the bus straight to downtown campus to meet my classmate to work on our projects.. and spending countless hours there. Thats why when everything was done, it’s a huge relieve for me. Like when the sun finally comes out after days of endless rain.

So the day I looked forward to the most, 080808, finally came. I also got my Lumix FX36 in white <3 It matches with my other babes .. my U600 and my Vaio CR I also got a pair of dangly silver & beaded earrings and loads of instant camera film <3

I feel very Thankful and Blessed for everything. Thank you.
“…Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”- Joshua 1:9

Time is flying.

Time is really flying. The past week has been so busy that I honestly feel like a robot and a zombie. The ratio of work to sleep is like 3:1. Haha. But I’m still alive, still hanging in there. Despite the busy schedule, I’m very thankful for many things in life. It truly took “a lot of prayers to get me through” (Backstreet Boys – The Perfect Fan).

Today I almost missed the deadline for a small assignment for one of my course… and luckily, I didn’t miss it and even finished it on time. Thank God. Even though it’s not a lot of marks, but every effort helps.

Since my last post(s), I’ve been researching a lot on the laptops… and I have to say that I no longer have the Vaio NR series in mind. Instead, the CR series is what I’m looking into. Like I mentioned before, if I wasn’t going anywhere, NR series is quite appealing – in terms of price and style. With that price, part of me is so tempted to purchase it just for the heck of it. Talk about shopping impulse hehe.

I also want a Samsung widescreen LCD!!

Recently ate food: Tim Horton’s chocolate brownie iced cappuccino, caramel chocolate pecan cookie, California rolls, fish cutlet with poppy seed cream salad.

These are the days

The past days, I feel like I’ve gone back to the old shoapholic me

I guess it’s also been very pleasant.

I enjoy being able to walk under the warm sunshine in shorts and in my Roberto Cavalli sunglasses, sipping to a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks.

I can spend an entire day in a craft or art supply store. I love art and I miss art.

I love western food much more than Chinese food. Lemon tarts are one of my favorite food in my list… I can now add apple caramel cheesecake onto the list too Lately, I’ve been eating soo unhealthily. I’ve been eating so much fried or junk food and also instant noodles. As cliche as it sounds, why do unhealthy food taste so good?

Good News

Good news, good news!! From now until then, I guess I will be very busy preparing for everything. In the meantime, I’ll also try my best and work hard in my courses!

Through it all, I’m very Thankful.. for HIM and his blessings <3

1. Thank you to the professors who helped me out with the reference letters! Without their help, I would not have submitted my applications successfully!
2. Thank you for those who inspired me and ensured that it’ll be a good experience and that it’s really worth trying! (I hope so hehe. Well I’m prepared for good and bad but I know through it all, I’ll be able to look back and realized it’s an experience I would never forget)
3. Thank you to those who’s been encouraging me … constantly telling me not to worry. And for supporting me. It really means a lot to me <3
4. And those who’s been not too supportive, Thanks too? Haha. Because at least I know I’m still existent? <3 But I’ve got to do what I need to do to continue to grow and to learn as an individual.. and to continue to move along in this journey of life.

Strange Weather

Where is the summer? Where is the sun? I’m freezing here I remember last year at this time, it was quite warm where I was able to wear shorts and tees.

I’ve started a new photo log. Introducing capturedd.

Yesterday I discovered the 7″ laptop that’s been out for sometime now. The one by Asus. They actually sell it at The Source for no more than $450. It’s affordable and I am tempted to purchase it but then in the back of my mind, I’m asking if it’s really necessary? Because when I first got the iPod Touch, I wanted it because of it’s wifi spec. Well of course, I have no regrets purchasing the iPod Touch .. just that the only time I take advantage of the wifi is when I wake up in the morning and I check if there’s new email on my Gmail inbox. Otherwise, I rarely use it elsewhere. Hmm.

Lesson

Lesson I learned today about work ethics: age is nothing but a number. It’s the experience that you possess that will allow others to respect you.

Mood of the day: super stressed.

Here I Am

This is a crazy world
These can be lonely times
It’s hard to know who’s on your side
Most of the time

Who can you really trust
Who do you really know
Is there anybody out there
Who can make you feel less alone?
Here I Am - Leona Lewis

Dreaming Away

I’m sitting here dreaming away. Dreaming of the sandy beach and the crystal clear water. Fiji. Maldives. Thailand. Malaysia. Fly Me Away…

The Tears in Life

I don’t recall the last time I laughed so hard that tears nearly came out of my eyes. I’m very thankful for His’ guidance and blessings. I’m finally seeing so much and experiencing so much and I know I still have a long way to go.

“That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you’ve understood all your life, but in a new way.” Doris Lessing

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)

Reminiscence & Food

This afternoon, I tried a new bubble tea/Taiwanese place for lunch. I had the popular chicken nuggets rice and the original milk tea with pearls. It’s not too bad but not the best I’ve tried! I think it’s because they put kimchi as a side dish. It’s a bit strange seeing it there considering kimchi is Korean food. But yeah, I haven’t had bubble tea nor Taiwanese food for awhile so it was nice.

It also made me miss Taiwan! I really hope to go back one day, some day. To me, the rural areas is such a peaceful place especially the sight of coconut trees and rice fields. The city also has its own distinct feature; the liveliness of the night markets full of delicious food and inexpensive things to buy. And I can’t ever forget the motorcycle that is literally everywhere especially in the south. It would be such a dream if I could ride in one of those…!!

Before dinner, I also made cheesecake tarts since I had half a chunk of the cream cheese left. But this time, I think it turned out a bit soggy and sweet, but overall, it’s still edible. I made two that are chocolate

I think cooking/baking has became my outlet and new found passion… it’s fun and a good way to pass time… though it’s the cooking/baking process that makes it more enjoyable when I have people who are more than glad to try my works.
