Donkeys can swim?
Had a bad sleep yesterday. At 5am plus kena sinus attack. Then i tot to maself: oh shit. come mon morning i'll be awake by tis time. so sad. have to wake up earlier than mr sun, n sleep earlier than mr moon. thanks to ma 0830 class schedule. so gotta be up latest by 0600. still cant get over tis grief.
read ma book on negotiation skills while doing hula hoop for almost half an hour. haf 2 maintain ma waistline. if not rougher than sis den i dunno if i shld kill maself or isolate maself.
after some contemplation, i decided to go to swim. initialli cant make ma decision. so i draw lots. Either "go" or "no." when i open up ma lot n saw "go" i was so sad. lazy to go. but i muz treat tat "go" piece of paper with respect. so i went.
reached de pool n to ma dismay, saw a herd of donkeys swimming in de water. obviously, donkeys cant swim. so dey onli play with water. donkeys mainly below de age of 12 and donkeys from china. water tasted different oso. how could it taste like de sea? something muz be so wrong.
so i swam onli 4 laps. to-and-fro, to-and-fro, before getting up and head to swim in de shower room. weekend rate costs 30 cents more than weekday rate, yet i cant make full use of de water. in de end i thought i juz came to de pool to bathe. God's gracious mi.

Post-holiday blues
Watched ma long-awaited movie "Up" on mon at marina square wif cal. had yoshinoya's teriyaki chicken for dinner n read ma book - A thousand splendid suns - at mac in raffles city. tis book almost left mi in tears on de bus to school. sooooo heartbreaking. abt 2 afghan women who led such miserable lives tat i could not imagine exisiting in de 1st place.
when i read till de veri last page, de author said dat both de characters "mariam" and "laila" were fictional. I was like "duh!" seldom did i read a fiction book totalli engrossed!
sch juz started tdy. felt a heavy post-holiday blues since days back. suddenli i'm transported back into reality, juz like teleport of some sort. 3-month juz whizzed past like a passing shower. N tdy it's all printing of notes. Gone to national library after temple to photocopy a reference book, which I was supposed to buy. But due to money constraints, decided not to buy de original book. Original book costs 26.50. But i onli spent abt 12 bucks on photocopying in total! So mi ish veri happi for de big savings.
ytd cooked fried rice for dinner. compliments from everione in ma household so was happi too. so i'm veri proud of maself. tdy juz a simple campbell's cream of chicken (added in shitake), baked beans n lettuce. decided not to spend $ on food outside since i gotta backup for buying textbooks. But anihow, i've no time to cook liao! Sch's reopening. Tink i'll have to put nissin, tung-I, chu-qian-yi-ding, nongshim etc on standby mode.
ealier tdy had interview by ritz carlton. in group of 5 to solve a case on service recovery in F&B settings. As usual, wat else could be say but: apologise, show empathy, waiver of bill, offer meal voucher, assure customer we will resolve it, follow-up, SHOO-AND-OUT-YOU-GO!
am realli veri scared now. am taking a year 3 module whereby i'm onli in year 2. somemore dunno anione. blame ma laptop for not reacting fast enough during course registration. aniwae ma laptop is juz up and i realli thank sis followed by God. Or shld it be de other way round? days without internet seriously were hard to pass.

New hair style
went for a haircut yesterdae at espirit salon in tamp one.
cut a two-stripe design to de left of ma head.
returned home n mum got a shock.
"Huh! want to die ah. dad see sure scold. only malay cut tis kind of hairstyle!"
but i was veri happi tat she isn't please with ma hair. cos if she were to say ma hair style looks good, it's de end for mi. in her eyes, a smart student-look is her definition of nicely-done hair.
anihow, i went raffles city earlier. slacked at mac while people-watching n read ma book.
waited for br to pick mi up from swissotel. had a night swim n soaked in jacuzzi before continuing to read ma book till past midnite. a group of teenagers came to sit next to our table making unwarrant noises tat i could not concentrate on ma reading.
decided to go home then.
3 more daze to sch reopening. got a few well wishes from frenz. hopefulli it'll be a fast semester. ganbareyo~

Back from Kuching
Spent 4 days rotting in Kuching from 02-05 Aug 09. Tis year's travel hasn't been smooth-sailing. Why did i say so?
- flight by emirates to paris from dubai was so turbulent n got mi panicking for de 1st time of all my flight experiences
- got left stranded by hotel in Rome, such that I felt like a mad dog running to-and-fro other hotels
- my flight to kuching by jetstar got delayed for 5 hours (from ETD 1650 to ETD 2200). In de end I consoled myself by really enjoying a plate of chicken rice in T1's food gallery, provided complimentary by Jetstar as refreshment
- was on our way to Gunung Gading National Park in de outskirt of Kuching, but connecting bus' timing doesn't allow (have to wait for another 2 hours which was a definite no-no under de hot weather)
- got so seriously bored that I was completely loss at wat to do in kuching (no wonder the cheap air tickets?)
however, now that i'm back home, i am starting to miss the hotel experience tat i had in Hilton Kuching.
Perhaps de most enjoyable part of ma kuching trip was soaking in de foam bath everidae! Yes! Practicalli everidae i would request for 3 bottles of Crab Tree & Evelyn's body wash. So tat I could make de bathtub as foamy as it could get. Even though I had not a red wine beside mi, at least I got a bottle of sparkling ribena on day 3 and a can of chrysanthemum on day 4. de latter cools mi down.
Next most enjoyable was tanning in de hotel's pool. two days in a row i tanned, but when i asked sis if i've become darker, she said no? unfortunately i had not any tanning oil with mi, cos mine's a big bottle at home which could not get on flight due to liquid restriction of less than 100ml? seriously i hate de osama incident. air travel has been so much of a hassle since then.
anihow, we got ourselves a good treat at Benson Seafood Restaurant. Fried squids were nice, prawns, deer meat n four seasons' vegetables which tasted so crispy - ma first time trying.
got to try sarawak kolo mee at a food outlet near de hotel, which tastes like maggi mee to mi? and sarawak laksa at de hotel's breakfast buffet (oh! so sinful earli in de morning). but ma continuous swimming at de pool later in de afternoon did compensate for it.
went to de Spring, which was kuching's biggest shopping mall. but sadly, it looks solemn n empty to mi. cal bought mi a levi's bag by surprise. if onli i knew i wud get something as a present, i would haf realli shopped all over n make a careful evaluation.
had tomato mee for lunch. veri nice n appetising. 1st time i hear of tomato mee. it tastes like mee bandung, juz tat it wasn't spicy.
lastly, i am glad tat our return flight isn't delayed by some operational reasons tat budget airlines like Jetstar are capable of coming up with. so tat i could reach home on-time. though, in ma opinion, air asia is de worst in "on-time performance."
went bugis temple earlier tis afternoon before having buffet lunch with sis at funan. was happi to be able to make use of ma ntu student card to get youth price for de buffet at onli 13.90 bucks. perhaps 1 dae i shld go n conquer as much sushi as possible by maself when i have a lion's share of appetite.
read ma book at macdonald's in raffles city, titled "a thousand splendid suns" which i bought from MPH in Spring shopping mall in kuching. veri engaging story~ i seldom read storybooks because too few authors could excite mi with their no-substance stories. shall stop here n continue reading.
