Anytime Return.

Jan 27, 2011


Permalink 

The train tickets to Bristol. Pretty cheap considering I booked it only this morning haha. Had a bit of an exasperation moment with the ticket machine when trying to collect them in the freezing cold. What's a touch screen when you have to hit the screen very hard to get it to work? Seriously...

Next month: weekend trip to Kent to visit Qays. I've promised him haha.

I wish I can book anytime return tickets back to Brunei this easily and at such a bargain price too. At the rate the prices are going, I probably can only book after Chinese New Year's. I'm betting the price will have at least gone done by £100 by then. If it hasn't...well, I still have to book it anyway.

Please let me pass my May exams smoothly so I won't have to worry about retakes in the summer.

Fuck yeah!

Just paid off all outstanding debts and now I'm like officially broke for the month. Well at least there won't be people chasing after me with death threats for not paying them back. Need to start thinking about how the hell I am supposed to come up with the money for the plane tickets back to Brunei. I refuse to use my emergency money because I am amazingly karit like that. I don't even have enough to go grocery shopping this week now... ㅠ_ㅜ

Maybe it's time to go into loan shark mode and terrorise people who I think I had lent money to. MUAHAHAHA. I do not pity you at all.

Rewind

Jan 25, 2011


Permalink 

I've been going back to listening to C-Pop lately, most particularly Jolin Tsai. It's funny to think that she was once the woman I want to be like. Even my pseudonym sound like her name haha.

Lately there's been more and more people calling me Jolene. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Although it's not the name given to me by my parents, but I like it, and that's what's important, no?

Two new modules this term: NRE (Natural Resources & Energy) and Earth Marterials. Both are quite interesting, especially Earth Materials as there is some volcanic stuff in it. No more Sedimentary System lectures this semester but still need to take the exams in May.

The new part of Geoinformatics was supposed to be "Simple Statistics" but the practical last Friday was the longest three hours of my life, I swear. Part 2 & 3 was OK it was index numbers and logarithms and stuff, but Part 1 was like Pure Physics. I believe I gave up A level Physics for a reason...why is it coming back to haunt me now haha. OH DEARRR.

Financially stretched this month. Need to pay for accommodation and plane tickets and tons of other stuff, not including the weekly grocery shopping money yet. Thank god I have emergency money, but I'm the kind that's karit to the point of not even wanting to spend emergency money during emergencies haha.

Living off Nutella and bread. Just kidding.

OK this talk about food is making me hungry. Gonna go off to make dinner now. Kthanxbye.

Bad sister.

Jan 24, 2011

So since I am too caught up in my own life RN I think I'm such a bad sister LOL

So my lil sis's O level results are out and I just found out and I feel bad entahhh should I be unreasonable and ask boyfriend to get the info (i.e. her results) for me thru the almighty MOE grapevine or should I ask her myself. Oh, the dilemma.

Anyway, demanding to know it now is unreasonable too since at this very moment it is unreasonable to call (1PM BNT) and yeah...kinda don't want to wake anyone up. I have an essay I should deal with anyway. No wonder I have a feeling something is happening but dunno what it was.

Hungry now. Should go and make dinner.

I just need some mushrooms.

It's weird because I'm fine with being alone just as long as I have

  1. a book
  2. a laptop with ultra-fast internet
  3. a soft bed
  4. an awesome sound system

 

I'm kinda in a situation where I have all of the above, so yeah.

Oh, it'll be even more awesome if boyfriend is here with me too. Another story for another day, by the way.

My eyes are scary.

Jan 18, 2011


Permalink 

Apparently, my eyes are scary...when I am serious. How awesome is that? That means my eyes is scary about 80% of the time in a day, slightly less on weekdays with less lectures and weekends when I don't have assignments to rush.

OK, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.

This is REALLY late, but Happy New Year everyone!!

(I mean, it's gonna be Chinese New Year soon anyway, but moving on~)

I'm loving this new template very, very, very much. So much I think I'm going to stick to my new blogging platform. Sorry Blogger, I kinda lost faith in you after you shut down FTP. Anyways, it's nearly midnight here now, so I really need to get my beauty sleep, lecture starts at 9AM tomorrow...bye!!
