updates!!

just an update.
i have FINALLY landed on British soil.
super looooooooooooong flight.
crazy transit hours and bad on-flight ear pressure.

anyway, as my uni's internet doesnt allow me to access networking sites,
so, i cant use facebook, [until i have a way to get around it.]
uni so lame! but overall i think i really like the place. beginning to walk A LOT!
but anyway, yeah.
i'll try to get on facebook soon.

correction, facebook is up and running, uni is NOT lame =D

mass production

do you know what's the worst thing about being sick?

the overly obvious indication that you'll never be well soon enough.
at that point in time, you're just thinking to yourself,

"i.am.going.to.DIE!" not literally, though it feels pretty dang close.

the weekend last week was pretty eventful,
never did i think to myself before i left home, that i would spend every waking hour, on my feet, in the never-forgiving malaysian sun, trying to get everything done in time, by public transport no less.
thankfully, i survived but not with hiccups on the way home and panadols before bed.

being that it was the weekend after the world cup, la furia roja for me, was in fever pitch.
please allow me the satisfaction of typing in caps : SPAIN ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
ooh rah! [following the footsteps of a tumblr i laugh whenever i read the captions.]

note to self: never eat bananas when your stomach doesn't feel so good, it comes out your nose in protest!

long over due

firstly, happy birthday mum!
though this post is two days late, i think my mum would understand the torture im going through at the moment.

to summarise my month or so:

im currently a hermit,
my books are everywhere within arms reach.
i think i look really out of it.
and shan just said my blog is dead, thats why im updating. hah!

sometimes i feel like im about to puke,
looking at all that i have and havent covered.
sometimes i fall asleep on my table wondering to myself
what have i gotten myself into.
sometimes i read so much, my eyes and brain hurt.
i need a break.
which i sometimes take too many.
with the occasional discovery of awesome indie bands on youtube

harper blynn is awesome!

and little crushings on Eric Dill. heh!

nice guitar eh?

my roommate kinda stresses me out too.
she studies so hard and she remembers.
me? i read, i reread, i forget.
i feel pathetic at the moment.

i really cant wait for exams to be over.
and my life to begin. out of the cave i so expertly built for myself out of papers and books.
if only there was a way for me to stuff myself with info. hmmm, nice ice blended contract law, anyone?

anyway, thats my update. nothing interesting really.

superhero tales

my blog can be said to be non-functional for some time with 1 post per month, its quite sad. havent had the time nor the inspiration to write anything or draw for that matter.
been having writer's block as well as artist's block. and my head is full of CPR part 1, CPR part 3 and so forth.
its kinda driving me insane.
for those who faithfully click my name or my blog site, i finally have something to write about. yay?

so, aside from being in a house with house-mates going in and out of the hospital because of dengue for the past few weeks, (they have all gotten better, just so you all know, no need to worry) i have found myself to be somewhat anti-social, sweating and a little bit delirious.
i like my new place, its nearer to uni though not near enough for me to not enter the classroom sweating. blast this humid weather!

anyway, just today i woke up to an sms concerning banana leaf. and it woke me up straight away =D
i'm always hungry and i like me that way. though i must say that it does burn holes in your pocket.
exams are not too far off. so excuse the dark circles and zombie face of mine. if i say hi to you looking pasty, its because i hide myself in the comforts of my kinda sauna-like-room for most of my free time.
i took time last night to have a hot cup of green tea. it was kinda thick so was not as nice i remember green tea to be. didnt keep me up but at least i know that its healthy. =D

in continuation to my story of the day. i woke up, took my shower, realized that i was kinda itching at my neck area. but i was too drowsy to care. my arm had a red dot which i didnt bother either. did all the morning routines and changed, check emails and stared into outer space, waiting for yummy banana leaf.
nearer to lunch time, i changed into my going-out-clothes, only to realize that the red dot on my arm was an insect bite. and then kinda check my neck, to my HORROR, there were another THREE insect bites in a very oddly sci-fi triangle position. they itched but they werent like CRAZY itchy so, it wasnt so bad. phew!

just a couple of hours ago, i found out there is another one on my ear. this bug is crazy man. werent my neck and arm enough? my ear too? i'll probably have super powers by tomorrow. i hope i can fly and ran really fast. heh! or maybe super sonic voice ability since it bit my neck and like super good hearing, since it bit my ear too. my arm leh, hmm, super fast writing ability for law papers? but then maybe to be more realistic i'll most probably be this :

seeing that exams are so near. =(
oh, did i mention that the bug preferred my left side? all the red dots are on my left side. weird.
i wonder why i didnt feel anything last night, probably slept like a log as usual.

fuh! long post, probably because of the deprivation. haha.


*end*

not really a normal monday

back home in kuantan.
its been raining but its ok, i like the rain, especially when i can sleep in cozily under the warm blanket.
so, something funny happened today.

i was kinda excited because i was going to watch Avatar with my parents.
then my sister was saying avatar and all, so i thought i would
sort of swim on my bed, you know 'cos the avatars do swim.
so, i got ready to "dive"
weeeee.....CRASHHHH!!!!!!

next thing i know,
the bed is lopsided and broken. -_-
then i spent the next 30 minutes or so, hammering the nails back in place.
the bed is now ok, just so you all know.
and yes, im planning to go jogging with my sister.
i think the bed breaking was a BIG enough sign. =(

oh, Avatar was AWESOME!!!
i recommend.
now, i want to get myself a blue, gold eyed avatar
though the hair with tentacles thing is kinda weird.
i want to watch again!!

its been some time.
and because i dont really have a social life, i dont really have anything interesting to tell.
so, people, if you dont hear from me in awhile,
dont worry, im still here just under the weight of a lot of books, reading and assignments.

i'll pop in once in awhile,
with weird stories to tell.
just be patient =D

oh, today when out with ann, jien and pree.

just us girls. cant wait for the pictures to be up on facebook. haha
and if any of you guys are reading this, THANK YOU!!! again =D
toys'r us was the highlight, it was nice to feel 10 again. haha.

thats it.
im on the legal express!


*end*

one of those days

rain + sun + early mornings + long days + law + assignments = headache, flu and body aches

not a very nice combo =S
i used to like monsoons, i think i still do, but not when it gets my shoes soaked and me sick.


*end*

no-vem-ber

first post of the month.
writing from kuantan.
dreading the thought of going back.
and sitting the bus with a heavy sack.

going back.
full steam ahead.
pulling out all the stops.
giving it all i got.

there goes my social life,
not that i had any to begin with.
i guess i won't be missing much =D
peace out, yo!


*end*

silly billy milly

had a pretty eventful day.
started out normal, ended pretty wet and tiring.
but awesome at the same time =D

Alithea chased a bus, and her bus ticket to kuantan fell out of her pocket.
Was having law discussion with her legal skills group earlier.
Everyone contributed and that made finding the statutes and stuff easier.
Saved by the early realization of her missing ticket.
Overjoyed and praising God for answering her prayers.
Managed to find the bus ticket, it was still on the road.
Eager to spread the news that her awesome God answers prayers, even trivial ones =D

that's why i had an A-W-E-S-O-M-E day =)
*say it the way jamie says it*
though shoes are now soaked and drying outside. heh!

day's advice : never leave important things in your pocket if you intend to run.

falling head over pail

I think i put the C in clumsy.
seriously.

who falls off a bicycle chipping off her tooth? alithea wong
who falls while sitting on a reclining chair? alithea wong
who falls running walking up the stairs? alithea wong
and finally, who falls walking DOWN the stairs? ALITHEA WONG


i recently fell while walking up the stairs after doing laundry, and its only me, who would bruise all 4 limbs trying to break the fall.
both my arms and my knees.
i dont think i like the stairs all that much now.
nonetheless, i think im an awesome clutz! =D


*end*

the wheel of the bus go round and round

im overwhelmed.
i think im stressing out.
no surprise there.
oh, and English judges are pretty long-winded.

books are heavy.
words are small and tiny.
life is busy.
i feel kinda hippy.

flower power!

assignments are killer right now. what did i get myself into?
hmm...
i need to read, read, read.
to the library!

random picture, random fact : i like sunflowers =)
makes me feel happy.

*end*

gator clips and memory buddies

i would have never guessed that i would have so much fun with kids.
helped out in my church's vacation bible school and i had a blast!!
and im pretty sure the kids had fun too =D



met all kinds of kids. and the little boy above, dylan is so cute =D
a little shy though but cute nonetheless.


jabez dances really cute-ly and peggy is so fun to play with =D
other kids were fun, funny, and cute too. they tend to talk and stick to you if they like you. ask my sister, she had a lot of fans. haha

anyway, catch you later, alligator
FEAR NOT!! *punches right hand into the air*


*end*

of buses and early mornings

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it
-William James-


started uni.
started waking up early.
started walking.
started bus-ing?
started thinking.

it doesn't matter where you are, what matters is what you do with your time there.
i'll wait for what happens next =)


*end*

ps. if looks could kill, i think my criminal law lecturer could eat me up with her stare. *shivers*

laughing workaholic

kids are at their funniest when they are at their worst.

been helping my aunt mark her english tuition class books.
and boy, have i had my fair share of good laughs while marking those books, or should i say smoldering the essays with my red pen.
i'm not saying that they're not good, they just need a little fine tuning.
for some, for others well, lets just say they need more practice.

here's a snippet which i found really amusing. not that it was bad, it was just funny.

'...you won't miss my house, it's the only one with the blue gate. if you can't find it, you really need to see a doctor...'

i couldnt stop laughing.
there's more. and i bet if you all read, you'll laugh too.
fun job =)

*end*

i've got the flu?

something funny happened today.
something that i must share.


my mum and i have been discussing about changing my maxis broadband to a celcom one,
so, we talked to the people and everything.
it's definitely cheaper, but i would have to pay RM350 for the modem
which i already have, from the maxis one.

so today i wanted to go there again, and check whether i could use my maxis usb modem but use a celcom line.

so i was happily walking to the shop and i smiled to the personnel all the while holding my maxis broadband modem.
stares greeted me instead
there was also down right apprehension in the room.
they were quite surprised that i was walking into a celcom shop.
it was like my maxis broadband carried with it the A H1N1 virus.
the people working there looked at my modem as if it was the plague.

it was kinda funny because there i was, smiling away, holding it
like the harbinger of the swine flu.
haha.
and the personnel who attended to me, asked his boss whether i can use the modem or not, the boss couldnt even look at the modem without detesting it.
i think he wanted to take the modem and smash it into a million pieces.
poor maxis modem.



*end*

home

curse the humid weather!

the kinda air that smacks you in the face,
when you try to take a walk
outside.

curse the glaring hot sun,
that never ceases to shine,
shine, shine.

i detest the idea of sweating
when i had just taken a shower.
wasted efforts.

i'm finding it very difficult
to accept that there are not
many places i can play pool.
bad!

bless the air condition in my room,
that lets me wake up cozy,
and cool.

bless my parents,
who drives me around.
not that i go out much but...

bless the amount of food,
i have in my house.
so that i don't go hungry
in the middle of the night.

bless the tv, my guitar, and my sister,
things that keep me occupied,
and entertained.

i love the idea of being
back home, lazing around,
in the small, little town,
of Kuantan.

neck breaker, finger killer and annoying noises

*chants* "one more week, one more week, one more week"

i'm a mixture of
sudden panic attacks,
late night snaking,
viva la vida,
and lazy mornings.

crying,
wailing,
hyperventilating,
and studying.

books accompany my lonely nights.
while low music hums in the background.

*chants* "4 more papers, 4 more papers, 4 more papers"

after this, a well earned vacation would be enjoyed.
filled with TV, good food and nice cozy air-con-ed sleep


*end*

ps. drills and business 5 dont go really well.
i feel my brain mushing away, with every vibration.

late night ramblings

life has a funny way of pulling the rug under your feet
and letting you know that you've been standing on a pothole all this time.

*falls*

now where's that torch light when you need it?


random fact about me : I L-O-V-E pool =)


*end*

ps, a big happy birthday to pree!

paper fever

so, its been more than a week since i last updated.
i'm not very sure whether i should flatter myself by saying that i know how my readers feel about always coming to my blog and not finding anything new.

alithea : CJ!!!!!!!! UPDATE YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!

i dont even know whether i have that many readers.
oh well, lets just assume i have a lot of readers all around the world lah. *saying in a dreamlike manner*

anyway, there is basically nothing to blog about, hence the non-updated website.
exams have invade my life, forcefully. boohoo me.
i would blog about exams but then i would scare all the little children out there who are yet to encounter BIG pain-in-the-butt exams. assuming there are children below the age of 12 reading this.

talk about being random. must be the mush in my brain from all the studying.
anyway, i thought i would update you guys on my finger's progress because i really got nothing interesting to tell you all besides that.
i think its close to 3 months now.
here's how it looks



it really is a piece of art, dont you think?
now the whole thing is black. Goth much?
anyway, wanna see how i look, now since exams are going on?
brace yourself



you like?
i drew myself, myself =D

anyway, a big shout out to all those slaving away because of exams
ALL THE BEST!!!
and to those who are laughing at us, poor souls, because you're chilling,
YOUR TIME WOULD COME.
but then again, mine would too. again.
we live in a tough world.



*end*

ps. i love britain's got talent.
