Snow Flakes, Corn Flakes

Autumn leaves scattered the walkways, and the air smelled of burning firewood and hot dogs from the street vendors. I lie back on the grass and look up at the orange autumn leaves fluttering the trees overhead. The November air is crisp, and I can see clouds forming shapes up in the clear sky.

OK, enough of daydreaming - there is no autumn or street vendors selling hot dogs or crisp air here in Malaysia.

It’s the second week of the semester break. As much as I vow to spend it wisely I’ve been doing nothing much lately. I reorganised my iTunes library. I watch reruns of Gossip Girl as well as new episodes. I watch how people ridicule themselves in Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. Also, I finally have the time to catch up on One Tree Hill – Lucas Scott is marrying Peyton Sawyer! Kate Voegele plays Mia in it and she sings Manhattan from the Sky from her latest album A Fine Mess. The album is superb, go download it!

The food at home is delectable I believe I’m gaining weight so I don’t dare to step on the weighing machine. The last time I stepped on it the machine told me I gained two freaking kilograms. I’m thankful it didn’t say “One person at a time!” when I stepped on it. If you’re a good friend you’ll keep this a secret – I ate two plates of rice for dinner last Saturday. You can’t blame me, it was my Daddy’s birthday that day (my Daddy turned fifty-seven on seven eleven). Dinner was too good that night, I couldn’t help it.

Daddy has promised me a shopping trip next week! I know I shouldn’t be buying anything anymore; I have three suitcases full of clothes to bring to university, not forgetting one box of food stock, one box of electrical appliances and another for toiletries. I know because they are exactly what I brought home from university. But I’m a girl - shopping is a basic necessity for girls.

My lab instructor said I’ll be getting myself into the Dean’s list for the first time and it will be a motivation for me throughout my 4 years in university. I personally question the veracity of his statement because, well, I’m Winnie Chong. Winnie Chong has never gotten a GPA of 3.5 and above. But secretly I wish to get into the list so please please please please please PLEASE let me get it. Results will be out soon so if I get it I promise I’ll be a good girl. Pretty pretty please?

Oh people, you HAVE to watch Leighton Meester’s new music video, the one where she wears super sexy outfits (more like lingerie to me) and sings around Robin Thicke. Somebody To Love is the title of the song. I think the song is okay, but I prefer Good Girls Go Bad.

Also, I can’t wait for December. I’m feeling all hark-the-herald-angels-sing-glory-to-the-newborn-king now. Do you know I used to be a soprano singer in church carolling a couple of years ago? It was so fun I wish to do it again.

Randomly random I am. The Snow Flakes I bought the other day are so delicious I think I’ll grab some now. See you later, alligator!

P/s: All the best in your exam, Charlotte and Jef!! Charlotte is a new addition to the Chong family =)

Ahhh that feels nice.

I'm My Biggest Fan WTF

Never in my life have I thought of becoming a celebrity or to lead double lives - a student by day and a singer by night (think Hannah Montana). But today I think I just turned into one. Not into Hannah Montana of course. Into a celebrity.

I don't know where to hide now. I didn't look my best on that day - it was the university registration day, and the night before I didn't sleep well. Not because I was nervous to enter university, but because the hotel room was very cold.

My lab instructor tagged me on Facebook this morning. He was like, "I didn't know my student is a celebrity now". I was like, "Destroy all the magazines!" and he told me they are all over the university now.

Great. Now everyone knows I have a fat face.

Genius Next Door (As If!)

Because the restaurant I own in Facebook is making fast progress, most of my time is spent on it instead of studying for the finals. But I've been waking up at 4 to study every morning so I guess a few hours of Restaurant City won't hurt. I hope.

And I just stumbled upon this very picture. Shirley, Jacylyn and I, picture taken in the university. I personally think we don't look like each other. People always tell my parents that Shirley is the prettiest among the four of us (another sister is not in the picture as she did not come along with us that day). They are SO rude - they should say that I am the prettiest. OK just joking, Shirley is indeed prettier than me.

Finals will start in 2 weeks. I'm not as blur as I used to be now that I've been studying, but I hope I won't fail in any subjects. One subject costs RM1.5++K, how can I afford to fail?

I have to get back to Restaurant City now. Bye.

Ghost

Slept at 1.00am, woke up at 6.00am - a freaking 5 hours of sleep only. It was pitch black when I woke up, and my heart began to beat like the drums in All-American Reject's Move Along - the image of the white pale ghost getting hit by a train was still very much in my mind. As I opened my room door and walked outside I was reminded of the ghost you see in Ju-On - not the too-much-make-up-on kid, but the woman with long hair who practically crawls down the stairs with her long hair covering her face. I began to sing in my mind just so my imagination would not run wild. FAIL! As I stood in front of the mirror to wash my face and brush my teeth I couldn't even look into the mirror. Turning on the faucet, I wondered if blood would come out from it instead of water. Brushing off all fears, I bravely stepped into the bathroom. I took a really quick shower and sped off back into my room after that. Breakfast was also eaten in the bedroom because there were two long-haired ghosts loitering in the living room.

That's what you get when you listen to ghost stories alone in your room late at night. That was two nights ago but the effect was so great I am still scared today. Good job, Jan, good job =)

But you know, I really love watching horror movies. Back at home my dad and I would be the only ones staying up to watch them while my sisters would run to their rooms first thing. But that was back at home when I felt really safe. Here it is so... scary.

Awesomeness

So I'm back home for a one-week break.

Most of my time at home was spent on assignments, Differential Equations, Circuits Analysis and Gossip Girl. OMG did I tell you Season 3 is just too awesome? They have my favourite song, Cobra Starship (featuring Leighton Meester)'s Good Girls Go Bad in Episode 2!

My mum has been stuffing me with food ever since I came back. Last night it was pizza, I had like 4 huge slices of it. I know, I feel so adequate everytime I'm home. In prison there's practically nothing to eat. Mark told me I'm thin like a bamboo now. It's not like I want to be like a bamboo, there's really nothing much to eat in prison except for a vast selection of oily fried rice.

A couple of nights ago I attended a BBQ party organized by my ex-classmate who is now in Russia. I had people coming up to me that night asking me if I have a boyfriend. I know, everyone expects you to have a boyfriend when you're in university. Unless you mean Chace Crawford, I don't have a boyfriend. My life is already dedicated to Electrical & Electronics Engineering and well, Gossip Girl. I have tonnes of assignments piling up I might as well name my blog "Assignments Piling Up". Although sometimes I am worried I may end up being single for the rest of my life, I'm not in a rush to find a life partner right now. You know it takes time to get to know someone, you don't just go out with some random guy you meet in university right? As much as I adore Blair Waldorf and her bitchiness I don't wish to be like her.

Oh have you people heard Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA? It's awesome! I know you people may think Miley can't sing and all, but the song is really nice! The music video is so nice Boss is looking for the link to download it. And Miley's husband-to-be Prashan is already downloading it so that he can watch her every day. I'm just waiting for someone to finish downloading it and then send to me. "And the Jay-Z song was on, and the Jay-Z song was on, and the Jay-Z song was on...". The song is way better than The Climb where in the music video Miley picks up her guitar only to put it down again and then pick it up again and then put it down again and it goes on and on and on.

Last night after having pizza my parents brought me to Giant to buy Raya cookies. I've been craving for Raya cookies since my C-programming lecturer gave me some but I didn't have the chance to buy them until last night. There are not much left, I had wanted those chocolate-y ones but choices were limited since Raya is over so I settled for cheese and butter cookies. They tasted really terrible - that's what you get when you buy Raya cookies last minute. They're in the fridge now and nobody wants to eat them. Now I'm really looking forward to Aryati's cookies.

I'm downloading the very last episode of Gossip Girl Season 2 now. I do get confused sometimes, since I'm watching Season 3 now without finishing Season 2 and at the same time I'm re-watching Season 1 so basically I'm watching episodes from all three seasons at the same time. You people may get bored with me talking about Gossip Girl all the time, I know, but Gossip Girl is really nice you should watch it! You have got nothing to lose - Chace Crawford is so handsome I drool everytime I see him and for you guys, Blake Lively has the cutest giggles my best friend loves her and Leighton Meester is so pretty if I'm a guy I'd fall for her. And of course it's not all pretty faces and no drama - the show is full of drama! So yeah if you have nothing to do you should watch Gossip Girl. Even if you have something to do you should totally spend some time watching it.

I just realized I've been talking so much. So here's a picture I took at the KL tower with a pony I talked about months ago. Isn't it gorgeous? And if it tilts its head up I think it's taller than me. I know I'm short, my mum said my growth is stunted.

This post is so random and it is without a theme. You've just wasted a few minutes of your time reading this. Have a nice day!

Spin My Head Right Round, Right Round

Current song: Sing by Theo Tams

It is at times like this that I really wish to be home. The fever has subsided, but my back is still very painful. My head is spinning and my tummy feels really weird. It's the second time in university that I'm down with fever, and it makes me want to cry, really.

It's 10 and I haven't had breakfast because there is no food in the apartment. My head is spinning I don't think I can walk straight, so going out to buy food is not an option coz' I may not come back in one piece if I go out. But not eating is not an option too. Roommate's out as usual, housemates are all out too. All I have are the expired booty crotch butterscotch bread and boxes of Vono mushroom soup. No I don't want to have mushroom soup because it's hot. And I feel hot now.

I slept from 8.30pm till 9.00am today - a freaking 12 hours and 30 minutes! When my dad called last night at 10.50pm I thought it's the next day already. I have to study Circuits Analysis because I've been slacking, and I have to finish up my lab report too. But I've been wasting so much time I doubt I can ever finish doing them.

How am I supposed to get lunch, I have no idea too. 

Being sick in university is really pathetic.

P/s: My dreams are about plane crashes lately. I don't know what it means. I'm worried for the worst.
