Doing the research proposal right now. Considering how limited [I'm too lazy to find more] the literature on the company I'm focusing on, I don't think my research would be that good. Thank god, my dad isn't one of those parents who pressured their kids into getting ONLY A's for exams. Anyway, I'm surprised to know that the company is quite famous amongst researchers..found a couple of websites that actually featured the company. Sorry if I sound like an ignorant but this is the result of doing last-minute reading on the company.

Strangely enough, its been almost a month since I seen any of my best friends excluding the girls and Beng in college. I miss them all but I think since exams are near, they try not to bother me about going out. The funny thing is I'm comfortable staying at home during the weekends; that I don't feel bored. Friends would be surprised to learn this since I was always the one going out during weekends. But, people change and so have I. No longer am I the one eager to go clubbing or hanging out at those so-called trendy places. Signs of getting old as Shah would put it but who cares...as long as I'm happy and it's not hurting anyone.

Speaking of Shah, I had lunch with him and his family the other day. Yes, his girl was there too. The mum wanted to thank me for baking her a cake for Mother's Day. They took me out for lunch..the whole works. Oh yeah, for Mother's Day..I managed to bake cakes for my mum, Shah's mum, Daniel's mum and Tim's mum. Mum thought it was weird of me to bake cakes for others but the mums are so nice to me. I think mum was just being jealous hehehe...

Star Wars is opening soon...not too keen about those type of movies though. I'll probably skip it.

[edit]
Finally stop raining.

Bad News: I haven't even started on my proposal. I beginning to hate assignments. I miss my friends. I can't wait to have classes tomorrow!

Good news: My sister is pregnant. Her best friend [my other cousin] is also pregnant. My nephew Aqif is in denial. He thinks no way a baby can fit in his mum's tummy. My brother is thinking of getting engaged end of the year. I got flowers from my cousin who's leaving for Queensland soon *pouts*

Oh yeah, a big congrats and hugs for that person who got promoted the other day. Yang, you know who you are *winks* hehehe....

Should I...shouldn't I? Right now, I'm having second thoughts about taking care of Daniel's pet [a cat]. He're leaving for Japan tonight; and I'm suppose to take care of his car till next Friday. Can Shari do this while stressing over an assignment which is due next Friday. I agreed to this because Daniel has been a really good friend and I really wanted to pay back all the favors he did for me before. At least, I get my chance to have a pet. Family thinks I'll probably kill the cat by Saturday. Sigh.

Another week to go before my 2 weeks break then I'll be having exams. Then 3 months holiday. Planning to work but that I'll have to see how things go. Evonne the lucky girl got a part-time at the oh-so-famous IBM [that is so familiar to me..hehehe] *winks at Em* Fiona said she had a job for me; but I'm not sure if that's working out since I haven't heard anything else. The poor girl is sick...hope she'll feels better soon. Tim is coming back to KL in August which means I'll be staying up every night that month. I seriously hope that I don't migraines like when Lee was back in town.

Speaking of migraines, I'm having one right now. Off to write up my project proposal. Tata...

Oh yeah, my cousin is pregnant AGAIN...no wonder she always saying she's busy with the hubby...

In college right now.Have to wait till 11am; that's the time when the department allows students to hand in assignment.I think its a stupid rule! I have one hour left to burn; so here Iam blogging on the very slow computer in the library.

Seriously, this computer is getting on my nerves.It uses Netscape,so all the icons and words are all hay-wired. I didn't even sleep last day. Around 1.30am, I realised that my assignment was still not up-to-Shari's standards; so I woke up and redid some of the paragraphys. I'm suppose to apply this 5 Forces analysis to a company [Maxis, in my case]. I was awake till 3am; so might as well stay up the whole night. I went down stairs; made a cup of milo and played games on the PS2.

Dad was nice enough to send me to college today; since bro had to use my car. His car will only be ready in two weeks.I saw the photos of his damaged car; the damage was terrible. His whole front bumper dropped [smashed is more like it]. No one in the family knows about it except me cos I found out about it by looking through his handphone.

Sis managed to irriate me last night while I was busy typing up the assignment. I almost shouted at her but being the youngest in the family, I had to have respest towards her. Pity dad, he's waiting for me to hand in the work. I have no clue who's shirt I'm wearing right now; I think its my brother's girl shirt. Too bad.. it looks good on me anyway.

I apologized to those who sms me but I didn't reply. Blame it on my telco, Celcom. I only received last night's smses around 3.30am. Em thought I've dropped off the face of the earth since this past week..she sms me plenty of times but no reply from me. Had a nice chat with her last night; Lee got her a ring [lucky girl]. I'm so green with envy

I'm finally done with my OSIM2 assignment. Thank god!

Shari will now go off to bed..with her aching neck, back and really bad period pains. Have a good weekend ahead. Feeling so gulity for not attending Mel's party, hopefully he won't take it as a personal thing. Note to self: Buy him something!!!!

I'm having such a bad day. First, I woke up late for college, found out that my brother decided he was too sick to go work [I'm driving him to work nowadays], so I realized I still can make it for Mr B's class. Around 7am, a friend called to ask for a lift to her workplace. I said ok, as long as she waits for me at the highway petrol station. Picked her up..what a bad move!!!

She started complaining about being sleepy [who asked her to hang out so late anyway!!], I kept my cool by focusing on the road. Then, she started sighing everytime I had to brake, why...cos she said she'll be late for work again. At this point, I just scolded her. If you expect to be early for work, then wake up early [therefore, don't stay up late] and drive yourself to work early!! Is that so hard to do!! How can a 23 year old woman act that way!

I arrived just in time to get on the bus to the other block. Then, the third bad thing happened. The parking boomgate hit my car. The stupid guy was fixing it, I stopped to wait for him but there was another car coming so I drove past the gate. Next thing I saw was the boomgate hitting my car. Now my car's roof is slightly dented at the driver's side, the paint came off too! The annoying thing was the guy blamed me. I scolded him for being careless and he should fix the gate when no cars were coming in. Really spolit the rest of my day.

Mr B's class was the only enjoyable event I had. I managed to "lose" my brother's Touch & Go card [it had RM300 credit left in it] but found it under my car seat once I've calmed down. Then I sprained my hand by carrying too many heavy books. I'm hoping nothing else happens tonight since I'm planning to finish up [meaning start] on my assignment which is due on Friday. Wish me luck.

16 April, Saturday
Woke up smiling. The morning part was quite blurry due to Friday's night out with the guys. Talked to parents about the trip to Penang. Yup, I was suppose to leave for Penang on Saturday but after bargaining and pouting with the family, they said I can go for Mark's dinner as long as I head for Penang after that. Called Daniel and Nicki; Nicki had her birthday dinner that night too. Which made me free guilty for not attending it. Anyway, she agreed to tag along with me and Daniel on my Penang trip that night.

Back to Mark's dinner. We were suppose to meet up at 7.30pm, One Utama. I left home around 6.10 with Daniel. He was nice enough to use his car for the trip instead of mine; coz everytime I used mine for a trip...I get into an accident. Got a call from Mark on my way there. When I arrived, Mark and me were the only ones there. Walked for abit then head over to the restaurant. Felt weird sitting in a big table setting with him alone. The place was quite packed; with a long queue outside. We ordered soup for ourselves while waiting for the rest.

Mel and Lisa came [they looked good;I just envy Mel's height..hehe]. Then Nick, his date and Sharon came. We had a great meal topped with white wine. Mark's cousin was the last person to arrived. We were so noisy that I noticed the table next to us were giving evil looks. Its been awhile but I had a fab time. The part which I liked the most was when the girls and I tricked Mark into drinking olive oil laced with wine and when he gave me a peck on the cheek to say thanks for my gift. After 10, I got a call from Dad. It was Dad actually; but Daniel who was playing a trick on me. I said my goodbyes and left. Mark was nice enough to accompanied me. Daniel, his friends and Nicki waited for me in his car.

We took awhile to get to Penang due to my frequent toilet stops along the highway [Must be way too much drinking]. I called bro to check if there was any space at granny's. Alas, there wasn't so we headed to Batu Feringgi. Lucky for us that my uncle booked 2 rooms in advance just in case, one of his blur nieces/nephews [that would be me] forgot how small our Penang house is. We didn't sleep till 7am the next morning..why? Well, lets just say that I made a fool of myself in front of the gang and Daniel will never forget to wear his towel tightly the next time.

On Sunday, I left the hotel for the family thingy. I had to represent my family side. Damn it, hate being the youngest. I left after 2 hours coz I couldn't bear the boredom anymore. The gang was at the beach, I didn't bring my swimming suit so I used my tube top instead [yes, I looked stupid but I was desperate ok!]. We had nasi kandar for breakfast, lunch and supper. Dinner, I took them to this seafood place which was awesome. My sleeping patterns is seriously affected by this crazy weekend.

Today, we left Penang early in the morning to beat traffic on the bridge. Arrived around 1pm. Bro's car is in the workshop [he bang the highway divider..was speeding]. So, I have to be his driver this week. Things to do this week:

1. Meet up with Mark for a movie
2. See friend for the car that sis wanted [I'm getting commission :)]
3. Get my assignments done
4. Remember to call Em and Tim

I'm suppose to be doing my assignment but couldn't resist the temptation to blog. I'm feeling abit emotional today; missing Em and Tim. Tim has dropped off the face of the earth; worried that he hasn't returned my calls or e-mails. Hopefully he's doing well.

My day was so dull. The usual routine of going to college. The only fun I had was talking to the girls. Fiona has been having problems with her guy's mum. For some reason, that woman [the mum] is totally against Fiona. She told me the whole story while I was driving to the Bangsar Putra Station. I listened and sympathized with her story. She asked for my advice since I happened to go through a similiar situation before. I told her to never bend to the mum's pressure and stick to what you believe is right. I really hope things goes well between Alex and Fiona cos I think they make a great couple.

Well, off to do my work. May this week be a productive one for me :)
