Another farewell.

I never got around to talk about my exam paper.

Well, I did my revision, prepared my notes. Spent the whole day studying in campus. When the time came, I left for the lecture hall.

Sunset, on the way to the exam hall.

The paper was okay. I was pretty pasrah a few hours before the exam, thinking that I had all the stuff I had in my head. You know that point where you can't read any more and everything else just whizzes you by, the words start dancing in front of your eyes? Yeah like that.

By the time the exam was done, it was already 9pm. Chin and I went for dinner with Adrienne and Beth. At Passion Corner again.

Passed out when I reached home..

As planned, we went for Texas finally!

Baby! He wanted to surprise me on his emergency business visit to Miri, but I somehow got emo about something on Saturday and he just went ahead and made my day! Hehe which explains why I was mia for a few days both on the blog and twitter. He left Tuesday morning..

Funny how after 2 years of knowing each other, we never took any picture together. This is our first :)

We were all forcing them smiles cos we were super super full from all the pork we ate! (sorry to some). Hahaha all in all, we had about 4 plates and more than 10 cans of chrysanthemum tee among the 4 of us. That was a very, very fulfilling dinner indeed. The company made it all the better.

So, Adrienne left yesterday.


































There were actually a lot of people sending her off that day..

Right after this picture, she went and hugged everyone.. Unknowingly, Chin started sobbing. And seeing her sobbing made me tear. Lol, I guess I have been putting on hold the emotional downpour when I first told her how it sucked that all of them were leaving..

And we forgot to bring the tissues we kept reminding each other to bring days before.

Checking in her super heavy backpack.

Her flight got delayed for about an hour but I was too busy running around looking for my phone.

I made a police report, went to the police station, the sorts. But we all know how impossible everything seems from this point lol.

I'm already thinking of what phone should I buy hehe :P

!@#)*$@!&

So I broke my mum's mug handle this morning.

ANNNND.

I lost my phone :(

Was at the airport where it happened. The time span from when I left the place for the departure hall to when I realised my phone was lost was approx 20 minutes. It takes 3 seconds to steal a phone so probably I'm putting too much high hope that the CCTV will catch something. Everyone says let it go, don't brood over it.. Can't help if I'm attached to it. Especially when its from the boyfriend and is storing so many messages and photos. Plus it'll be a hassle to get everyone's numbers again.

Oh well.
Maybe its a sign to get a new phone.

Heartwarming..

I cried after reading everything..
It taught me that love can be so profound, so deepened, so complex.. and yet so simple.
This gives me hope..

Moments like these..

If one day you find yourself wondering why I'm doing what I'm doing, just ask yourself what did you to make me react the way I did. I won't regret it and I sure hope you won't be too surprised. Now I truly know what chasing pavements mean.

Basking in our youths.

I know I say this every end of the semester, but I can't help but lament on "ohemgee, its the end of another sem!".
I've got one more year to go and then, I wana be begone from this place I've called my home for the past 20 years. Can't wait to break free and start living my own life with no boundaries (or curfews, pfft).

I made it a point to keep in touch with the rest these few days. During the semester, I hardly spent time with them cos I had work and all that.

After dinner at the pork place in DPS, we headed for Round 2!

At Passion Corner in town.















Complimentary purple turtle jelly that came with our orders.

Ah Chin. We click cos we're born bitch-faces and can't help it lol. I got closer to here earlier this semester, after a few encounters. Since then, we've been hanging out. She's great cos sometimes she's my pillar of strength, and she's such a hard-headed girl who's been through so much and doesn't let things eat her up. She's like another big cheche to me.

You all know Adrienne. Yeah yeah, go lah. Leave us. hahaha
I met Adrienne during a production back in my first year. The experience was hilarious. Our group was a mix of the weirdest mix every. Then again, every Mass Comm student is weird in their own way. The mishap we had during the production still leaves us laughing all the time. She's also a DIY, interior design etc enthusiast, just like me!

Steamboat. Which was awesome. The last time I was there at Passion Corner was during my birthday with some guy buddies.

Sumit, who's one of the nicest guys I've met(besides boyfie, of course :P ).
Apparently Chelsea won against ManU the night before so he was parading around in his Chelsea jersey. Sum and I, we weren't close before. Just hibye friends. Its terrible how we only got to know each other closer now and they're all leaving already! They all asked me to stop being so emo though haha wtf.

I have a Tourism exam on Thursday, which is practically tomorrow.















With my partner in crime, Ah Chin, at Starbucks.

After 6 hours, 1 Toffee Nut Blended Coffee, 1 sandwich, 1 Caramel Chocolate Cake, I covered 5 topics in the form of mind maps. Then I went to work and was hit with a hugeee headache.
Guess thats what I get for not studying for the whole semester now I have to cram and memorize everything in 2 days.

I can't wait for it to be over and done with.

Geram on a Sunday night.

/edit: So zee boyfriend said that everything Tyra said was true. Lol maybe I am biased cos I have monolids, I don't know. After much debate (lol), we concluded that we interpreted the video in different ways. As he put it "Its like we see a brown cat, you're arguing that its blue and I'm arguing that its red". HAHA I think that pretty much sums up for a lot of other things really.




So I was Youtubing for fun, and I came over this particular video while searching for makeup for monolids(which I am, duh). And I was like "Hey, I never watched a Tyra Banks series of her show before so why not?"

And I regretted it.

Why? Because she was so biased. And you have to watch the video to know what I am talking about. For someone as respectable as her, some of the things she said, and shot at that girl made my jaw drop and thought "poor her..".

Mind you, not Tyra. But the girl she was interviewing.

The stupidest, dumbest thing she said was that getting eyelid surgery was one step closer to looking like a Caucasian! W.t.f. I had the perception that she thought all Asians had monolids. Seriously? I can relate to the girl because it is true, when you have monolids, you tend to look sleepier (cos bigger eyes look brighter, more energetic) and the excess skin just sags over your eye, pushing down your lashes no matter how curly they are.

If everyone was to embrace whatever they have on their face, they'd be no lengthening/volumnizing mascara that promises that extra oomph, eyeliners or silver eyeshadow to "open up" your eyes. Those are all products to make your eyes look more noticeable and "open" anyways. So using eyeliner makes us want to look like Cleopatra and dolly eyes like Taiwanese girls eh?

Sure, she compared herself to the girl. Yes, she has the weave and she owns up to it (the applause audience gave during that moment infuriated me more). But the girl was no model, she doesn't have to prance around in beautiful lingerie and meet the press everyday so of course, she doesn't need any weave. So there shouldn't be any comparison really. Cos Tyra and the girl live totally different lives.

Even more ridiculous, Tyra interviewed the girl's boyfriend. Look at the supertext.














Steve
"doesnt believe girlfriend needed surgery".

This only pushed to emphasize on the point that Tyra didn't agree that the girl had to undergo the surgery. But if you listened properly, the guy did say that he didn't mind cos he thought she was pretty either way. I'm a media student, so I know even simple things such as supertexts can alter perspectives really drastically.

Why couldn't they have put..
"Boyfriend supported girlfriend through surgery.."
or
"Boyfriend thought (girl's name) looked pretty either way.."

I thought this episode was really, really stupid. Now I have a whole different view towards this show, emmy award or not. Pfft.
