Its Been A While!

Hey all =)

I can’t believe its been more than a month since I last really updated this site...I’m so sorry again! Its the consequence of being one of those bloggers-who-have-no-internet-connection-at-home-plus-exam-looming-around-the-corner-plus-stress-of-shifting-house-on-top-so-many-other-things-to-do-symptom. But I hope you guys find whatever comes after this worth the read =)

We shifted but nearly didn’t shift thought have to stay under the sky already but shifted in the end... much to our relief. And there were alot of hiccups in between. So many heart attacks I tell you.

So my family and I went to seek and search and ask and viewed alot of houses... in the same area. Have to be in the same area la can’t uproot mom’s tuition. I lost count of how many houses we went to see... and the sum total of expenses incurred in the course of finding one that we all liked. And how many houses we said OKAY! DON’T CARE D JUST TAKE THAT HOUSE NOW! Then tak jadi swt... Not that we were being picky. We were hard pressed for time and so abit pressurising on us.

We were lucky many very very kind and selfless and super helpful people came to give us a hand, of which my family and I would like to thank all of you. Aunty Karen, Leonard, Sam, Shaun, Boon Aun, Ju Yi, Boon Aun and Ju Yi’s friend though I don’t know her name you-who-came-after-the-almost-murderous-merentas-desa so I heard. Somemore Boon Aun and Ju Yi came with their medals man woohoo!! Amy and BC for wanting so much to help and Mervin and Ps C. And the lorry people : heroes man. And to Dorene’s friend who helped drill holes on our walls but Dorene’s shelf came crashing down : thank you too! Really. And to the rest whom we wanted to call but dared not ask >.<

Thank you, really, thank you. I can’t say enough. Can claim mamak meals and more pearl milk dunno what flavour tea from me okay to those whom I haven’t treated. (Do you know these people are so nice I had to threaten I will merajuk if they don’t accept me belanja-ing)

So we’ve pretty much settled in for about 2 weeks plus now, Dorene and I so big girls d hor now only got own room. But still invade each other’s rooms like nobody’s business to find the weirdest things like tweezers and cotton buds and dustpans (did I even spell that right) and to find each other’s clothes in each others’ rooms and er, to see each other’s mirrors just cause its positioned differently. But its the same mirror.

Mom comes into both our rooms looking for eraser that day (I’m still making a conscious effort to pronounce and type eraser instead of rubber) only to find both me and Dorene no eraser wan.

“Why you all no rubber wan?”

“Haiya we big girls d what rubber eraser also don’t have man.. You want liquid paper instead?”

*Rolls rolls eyes and walks away*

Lol. Guess that was a good outcome.

Still alot to unpack, this is a smaller house with less rooms and higher rent but a house to shelter us nonetheless.

I think my neighbours are happening people =). Just way too many cats stealing our food.

During the past month I’ve been so stressed out, I stopped work, and contemplated closing this site down (again) coz I always feel like I don’t have enough resources to keep it going. But it still always works out somehow. This site was created with a purpose, a subtle one but a purpose nonetheless, and its working I think. So that’s what that kept me going.

What I do most days now is study like mad cow and study and study and get questions like

“Hey haven’t seen you around in a while leh... busy ar”

*explain explain*

“Ha...you mean your exam’s in may?”

“Yeah..”

“But why you all like, as though exam is two weeks away wan its only March what now”

“Alot wei start now also feel like not enough time”

“Har... tsktsk. Respect respect. Law students. I can never study like you guys”


Out of politeness I took that as a compliment... but I have an urge to vindicate myself and my classmates:

We are not very studious people okay, we just know what’s at stake and have so many things around us to take care of. We got burnt d last year in first year, and second year is no joke I tell you, they fail 70% of second year students every year. Our subjects this year are very very bulllllllky and technical and deep and difficult and DIFFICULT AND DIFFICULT and makes no sense but we are supposed to be smart smart people mar, or so people think (not that we are stupid) so doesn’t make sense also need to read and study till makes sense. I just don’t know what to do when most of the time I agree with the minority of the judges’ decision but still need to argue in light of their revered lordships majority opinion. Plus write like its very complicated eventhough essentially what the whole page is trying to say is just something as simple as – I damned well give you this land. Okay?! Take it. If you don’t want it, not my business coz I’m 6 feet underground d.

SO. What my friends and I say to ourselves is.... “Heh. We CONFIRM will be in the 30%”. Yes bloated arrogance I tell you but its actually out of desperation to make it. Disguised to sound good. No regrets though. The satisfaction we get upon deciphering and discovering .... *grins grins* You need to love knowledge la... But alot of self comfort and hanging out and prayers needed to maintain sanity.

My mom however, doesn’t do all that to de-stress.



She does colouring!


That’s one lucky muffin I tell you.
