Just a short blog post!

Yesterday, I went shopping, cause how often does an engineering major in ACTP get to go shopping right?

Gosh that's still so weird. ACTP. Engineering. AMERICA O.o

Anyway, there was absolutely nothing out there worthy for me to spend on. All the outfits were boring and the few that were mildly interesting were overpriced.

But the good news is that US dollars are dropping :D but now I've said it I must have jinxed it and it'll rise right back up again.

I did buy an eyeshadow from innisfree cause I have no eyeshadow in my makeup stash AT ALL and I saw other people having a whole case of eyeshadow so maybe I could have at least one.

Today is Merdeka, Malaysia's independence day and I'm cooped in my room trying to do my physics lab report and failing miserably. The only thing stopping me from completing it is the bereftness of a protractor in my pencil case.

See that, 'bereft'. SAT word yoooo.

Hmmm, I should take a break and watch a movie. What movie to watch though when I have no internet connection here? Running Man pun cannot watch T.T

Or read a book? :D I have always preferred books as my favorite pastime leisure activity. And books with chocolates snacks combined  are God's gift from heaven I tell you.

I feel so pampered with those two!

Aiyo now I wanna go and get some chocolate coated popcorn... but popcorn is so expensive la how... or maybe just YOLO and buy em? Hm hm hmmmm...

Its a saturday!!

On a saturday, my heart beats in anticipation of doing absolutely nothing. I can just laze and chill and waste my time on reading books or if I'm lucky and the computer room is open, I'd go watch a movie.

Speaking of books, I just read Eleanor and Park and it was a roller coaster of emotions! How can Park want to be with an emotional wreck like Eleanor?! Why why whyyyyy? She's not nice. He deserves better.

Hmph.

Which makes me wonder about this funny little thing called love. I've been thinking about it quite a lot these past few weeks because I am noticing people acquiring it so easily, it's like buying love from the 1 dollar shop. Cheap to get. Easy to break.

How?? How can people go into relationships so easy and here I am practically living the past 18 years and a 11 months single. Of course its not a bad thing to be single, but it makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you. Ugly? Annoying? Gedik? B.O???

Buttttttt I have a consolation.


"Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree..."

Terima kasih ja la. Its not much of a consolation but ok, it's something hohiho.

Also, imagine all the missed oppurtunities you have. Imagine all the times you have liked someone and never said anything or even gave the slightest indication of your feelings. Or even times when you glance at someone or talked to someone and go, "That's cute," and "That's attractive." There has been hundreds of those times right? Now, imagine all the times that other people have thought things like that about you and you never got to know those times.

There has been hundreds or thousands of moments like that and we don't have the privilege to know! Sigh, this is a world bereft of justice....

Ok ok, the truth is, I think I know why I have such a nonexistent love life: cause I'm a snob. There, mystery solved. Woop dee doo. The first impression people have of me is usually stuck up, cause I'm so difficult to approach.

"Crystal, are you a gamer?" someone asked me one day as I was eating lunch.

"Nope. Why?" I asked, perplexed.

"You have a gamer feeling. Cause gamers are so hard to socialise with," the person replied and without another word, walked away. You can imagine me with a gaping mouth, trying to register what he said.

"Wha- what? I'm hard to socialise? Hey!!" I stuttered to his back.

I always hear stories about people fighting and quarreling and saying harsh things, like a guy friend of mine did. Lets call him Wheel.

He was having a verbal showdown with his friend and I wondered aloud, "I have never been close enough to a person to ever say such things to them."

"That's cause you never open yourself up to anyone," he pointed out.

"Well, maybe people just don't want to get to know me," I countered. After a while, I asked, "Am I really that difficult to talk to?"

"Its just that the first impression of you is that you're full of... (after a minute of thinking for the sugar coated word) integrity. People are afraid to talk to you in case they won't click with you."

Which translates to, "You're snobby looking." I wish I can deny it and say I'm just really shy and introverted but maybe I am a snobby bitch who is antisocial as a rock. Actually, I think I am just moderately antisocial. I wouldn't attempt to make small talk, but if you were to talk to me, I could keep up a conversation with you.

I won't eat you...

Alive hahaha joking joking. I totally would hahaha.

Don't Worry, There's Time

Omg, I have been such a procrastinator lately! And this is a critical time in my education so why am I like this!?

 I do my homework 2 hours before class, that's how bad I am. I just spend my time on my phone all the time.

Haih, so badddddd.

Happy Raya!

Friday night was so much fun! But I was so underdressed! Everyone was dressed up to the nines and there I was in my jeans. 

I ate so much food for RM5 which was crazyyyyyyy. I am a VERY happy girl. There was sate, lemang, ice cream, rendang, sate *throbbing heart shaped eyes

Of course, the best part of it all was the company hehe.

But I was so tired this week. Its like the life is drained out of me everytime the lecturer speaks in front of the class. But its weird cause I sleep quite early. Maybe its the restlessness while I sleep that gets me.

I am always always always sleepy at my 2pm-4pm classes and it is not good cause those classes are usually calculus. So far, my favorite class is C++ programming ^.^ I love my programming lecturer. She's always understanding of us students struggles.

But most of the time, my soul barely attaches itself to my physical body.

Dunno la how I'm going to survive five months of this. T.T

I'm just that lazy.

This week started out quite bad. :(

As it is a new semester, us students were moved into new classes and I was so hoping that I'd be reunited with my fellow Fresnorians.

It turned out that I shared a class with Aya, who had to endure me last semester haha haha fhl.

I was quite disappointed la because I didn't know most of the people in the class and the ones I do know, I rarely talk to. I could feel my heart sinking lower and lower as my eyes scanned to the end of the list.

It ruined my mood for the whole orientation we had that day!

The next day after that was the first day of class. I woke up at 8am and since I had time to spare, chilled and laser for an hour before getting up and doing anything productive.

When I was done getting ready at around 8.30am, I decided to laze around some more. That's when I got a text from Aya asking me where I was. "Hmmm,  quite odd to ask me that.." so I checked my timetable again and I saw Idaho as the class name.... and my class name was Georgia. Oh shut, I got took the wrong timetable!

Such bad luck la to be 2 hours late for the first day of class! I ended up missing one class and was half an hour late for another.

Uggggggh!

Whyyyyyyy


And this week I had my first  Calculus 2 class and I'm not sure I can do this. I miss Ms Tia, my Calculus 1 lecturer. She was sooo good! She takes her time explaining concepts to her students and I totally get what she's teaching.

In Cal 2, suddenly there were hyperbolic functions which I had never before seen or heard before. Cosh? Sinh?

What is that???

I am actually procrastinating right now. I'm supposed to be doing my Calculus 2 tutorial but I feel it's like walking around blind cause there's no answers to confirm whatever it is I'm doing.

So yeah... no mood to do anything today. It's a Saturday and I'm supposed to chill, right.

*deluded

Oh and my phone is not zaman mesolitik anymore! I changed it to a ZenFone 2 which is really a great phone with a good budget. The screen is as big as the palm of my hand!

I think I don't mind spending a little more money for a phone cause I use my phones as long as possible. My last phone lasted 4 years and it's actually still functioning as long as I don't do too many things at a time. I cringe when I hear people changing their phones every year or so but that's their prerogative.

Ahhh I love my phone so much *dreamy eyes

June 2015

Hey guys!

It is the end of June 2015 already (I've said it, and I'll say it again: TIME FLIES SOOO FAST!) and I can't believe it.

This month has been an amazing month for me because I had so much fun. It is summer semester and since I didn't repeat any subjects, it was basically a breeze for me. If you were in INTEC ADFP, summer semester is "the" semester for you to go out and have fun because people are leaving and you are going to want to maximize your memories with them.

One of the things I did was go to SUNWAY LAGOON!!

And it was super duper amazing! Hands down the highlight of ADFP. I have been wanting to go to Sunway Lagoon ever since I could remember. I always thought that an arificial water park, especially one as hyped up as Sunway Lagoon, must be awesome, right?

I'll tell you, it was great. *drool

I told my classmates it was my dream to go to Sunway Lagoon when we were in our Fall (first) semester but everything was just so hectic that we only found the time to go in the Summer (third semester)

We went there quite late, around 10.30am and there were a lot of people cause there was a function at that time. But w stayed till the park clothes and tak puas la! I wish they opened at mabe 7am and closed at night time.

The price made me bite my tongue (The total came to be so expensive :/)but it was so worth it. I'd go there again if someone would bring me. *hint hint

My favorite ride there is the Vuvuzella, which is this waer ride where you get on a float with four other people and go down this crazy long tube and come out into a bowl kind of thing where inertia just tries its best to make you scream and then you go down another chute and out of the ride.

Isn't that just a spectacular ride?

However, there were some *ahem* moments when I wasn't feeling so hot. There was this one ride where you had to spin a wheel in the middle and the faster you spun, the faster your ride would go. Well, I got on the ride with two other guys and they're really strong, and they got really excited with the ride and they spun th wheel crazy fast. After the ride, I was K.O and had to miss two rides after that.

What got me out of my drunken state was the ghost house which was actually fun even though I am terrified of ghost houses.

Another thing that happened this month was ATUSA night which I have blogged about. 

This is us.

This night made me cherish the friendship I made in less than a year. What would I do without them!!? We also had a small farewell for the people who are flying off to the U.S soon *tearful and I miss them so much already, especially Qid. Qid is one of the friends that always looks out for me and treats me like a little sister, which is so kind of her. She also always tries always include me in things like outings and group stuff. Ahhhh! Writing about people makes me miss them moreeeee!

Ok, stop doing that now.

And another big thing I did this month was a community service. Just to say honestly, this community service wasn't really voluntary because it is mandatory for all students in my school. But, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

My group did ours a bit longer than the others. Where the other groups did their community service from maybe 8am-12pm, my group did it from the ungodly hours of 7am to 8pm. And! We all woke up at 5am which is the most ridiculous time to wake up and get up and running.

As our community service, my group took orphans from the ages of 4-7 to a day out at Petrosains at KLCC. And oh, they were soooooo cute and tiny! On the way to KLCC, my kid kept asking me if we were there yet which is what I used to do to my mum and dad hahaha! In the end, I gave her my phone so she could watch videos on YouTube. Which was another thing. None of the others dared to let the kids play with their phone cause all their phones were so expensive, but since my phone was bought and designed pada zaman mesolitik, it was okay. If my constant dropping of the phone in the past 4 years couldn't break it, it is indestructable.

But my kid also threw a lot of tantrums. Like at the bus, she lay on the floor and I refused to baby her if she was a brat so I just let her cry there. #asian That is what I'm supposed to do right??? In the end, she gave up and asked me for chocolates and after that, she fell asleep. *raise fist

I got to be a big sister for a day. :D  Little Brother is not so little anymore for me to baby him.

So that is what I did for June 2015!! There is actually so much more but those were just the highlights cause I am too lazy to write down every single thing. And! I am making it my mid-year resolution to blog more because I feel like life is passing by way too fast and blogging is a great way for me to slow down and enjoy it to its fullest. Cause when I blog I remember little details and notice things that normally I wouldn't notice.

Sigh...

I hope next semester would turn out to be awesome as well. There are going to be new classmates and new lecturers and new juniors and I would be a senior *gasp

And it would be my unofficial first year of degree in engineering. And I have already made peace with my future as an engineer... Its not gonna be so bad is it?

Anyways, see you again guys.
