The wonderful world of Grace’s thoughts

hmmm.

ahh.

i was jst thinking, while in the gym (its at times when your most tired and feel lyk jst forgetting the whole exercising thing and jst want to go back and sleep, when you need to think of random stuff to distract you!lol) abt this.

would you rather a guy who is uber sweet, but as wimpy as a twig (as you can see, today is comparisions day! as stubborn as a donkey etc etc) or a super buff guy who has the sensitivity of an eggplant.

basically its ryan vs seth (oc reference xD)

i know this is COMPLETELY random. but hey, they were showing wrestling for goodness sake.

all the over-ly buff guys who made me think abt this.

cos certain ppl have been known (fine, I’m part of the certain ppl) to have a thing for buff guys.

or at least we claim to.

ronaldo.nadal.ryan atwood. enough said.

i mean, good looks and utter buff-ness is nth wrong, but i don’t think i’d settle for someone who can’t FEEL.

exaggeration.

but, yeah you get my point.

as much as i lyk ronaldo as eye candy, i must admit he looks and seems rather dumb and shallow and feeling-less.

so in the long run, i’ve gt to say sweet and wimpy. seth!

and hopefully this wimpy guy will also be smart!

thus able to make a lot of money so i don’t have to study so hard and get an amzing job which pays me insanely well and requires me to work my ass off.

weee.

great plan =)

see, i am SO nt shallow!

its personality over looks!

or rather buffness.

*cough*

i think that’s enough abt that for today.

anyways..

i am leaving in abt a days time!

bags are packed, tickets bought, visa made.

hmm.

pretty much settled.

my flight is so freaking early i think i’m nt going to sleep at all.

its at 6am!

crazyness,man.

which means, being at the airport arnd 5-ish.

which in turn, means that i have to leave the house 4-ish.

i shall spent the last few hrs kissing my floor goodbye.

lol.

31 hrs and counting.

i’m actually pretttyyy excited.

what with the new place and all.

but some part of me wants to continue bumming arnd in kch.

probably the lazy part.

haha.

and i expect you all to keep in touch!

eileen lau..i have nt heard from you!

and i promise to do my best and try to keep in touch with as many as possible.

i’ve been known to be a very bad keep-in-touch-er =)

ah wells.

time to move on.

uni life, here i come.

i’m so old,la.

it’s so sad =(

=)

was just looking through my pictures on my laptop, and all the nostalgic feelings just came rushing back =(

thus, here’s my ode to subang jaya, so i can ‘move on’.

lol.

when i first arrived, abt one and a half years ago, i was lyk "i have to stay in that?"

the ‘amazing’ view from my room.

and then, the day i had to leave, it was lyk, "i have to leave this? =("

and yes, i know my room is very messy

all the fond memories i had there..

with eileen, my roommate/housemate,  for the whole a-level period. fun, fun, fun. and also stress, stress, stress. then shop, shop, shop =)

the wacked girl who supports chelsea because of jose mourinho *cough* or germany cos of michael BLACK. and constantly wacks me for no apparent reason.

housemate abuse!

evn killing this very cockroach was quite an experience.

yes, now its funny. then it was just plain scary.

broken slippers and what not =)

to nt so fun stuff lyk studying. which becomes fun, when instead of studying, leen, beng lynn and i end up gossipping. haha. which happens rather often.

eileen and my weird, i mean WEIRD housemate. the one i gt so pissed off at, untill i (or more so eileen) actually shouted at her.

but it was really fun, talking abt her. cos she is just so ridiculous.

and, yeah this picture was taken without her knowledge xD

the loooonnnnnnngggg walk up to our apartment.

an aerial view of blood stains, after sum fight happened in my place. interesting stuff. apparently it had smth to do with two guys figthing for a girl.

uhuh. so hollywood.

my NEAT room..

a certain roommate/housemate’s of mine, not so neat room (i’m so going to get killed for this)

asia cafe. for daily meals, and occasional football fixes =)

taylor’s college. at the entrance where i am often caught dashing off to class at 7.55am…or sometimes even 8 smth-ish.

well, i’m sorry i’m nt a morning person.

and it’s just my luck that almost everyday, my first class is ALWAYS on the C floor. or somewhere on the B floor, lyk super far back.

salmon steak! the..emm…uhh.. ‘not-so-clean’ eatery, which serves REALLY cheap food. and if you over-look the maggot rumors, i suppose the food taste fine =)

some bakery place which took the place of our (mine and zue’s) beloved mamak stall, which serves cheap mamak stuff! (aimi’s theory is peter made them go bankrupt with all the dahl curry he keeps taking to eat with his one roti canai o_O)

speaking of aimi, here she is! at her MRS best.

lol.

there, more stuff i miss. being perfectly normal, when compared to mrs-ey ppl lyk aimi and fei.

nice view from my apartment balcony, where i frequent to get ‘free’ wireless =)

the *cough* mess we created, via my ‘method’ of throwing rubbish x)

last but nt least, the lovely ppl of pm12 whom i’ve come to know and love. all the best to all of you, and hopefully one day we’ll all meet agn. although that day at itallianies, was wonderful meeting up, so ‘long’ huh? =)

take care, you bunch.

ah, now i’m done with my ode to subang jaya.. its now hello uk, cold weather and all.

my college in cambridge, new hall. yes the all girl’s one.

yups, one more week to go.

i think its about time i leave kch, any longer i stay here, ppl are going to start wondering if i drop-out of college or smth =)

my latest hobby =)

you tube-ing!

go watch this video, another chelsea parody.

one word.

HILARIOUS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GMu1K1926c

*abramovich : today , you peekk shevchenko*

crazy funny i tell you.

and another personal favourite,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFwRh-N-3Z8

novak djokovic and his imitations.

there’s sharapova, nadal, roddick, federer.. all completely insane.

=)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsMJB81HfFU

and that’s the one he did LIVE during the us open.

which i’m boycotting.

hmph.

waiting for the shanghai masters, coming soon!

tho i doubt nadal will be playing well, considering his tendonitis and all.

so sad =(

anyways, another favourite these days is facebook-ing.

see,la you amanda tan.

your facebook 101 has gotten me ADDICTED.

and also unfortunately, through this addiction, i have discovered that my geography sucks.

kept on playing the travel game thingy and can NEVER get pass level 6!

ish.

in fact, i think my harry potter knowledge is better than my geography.

have also been taking the hp quizes.

and i can gt almost all correct!

talk abt wrong priorities.

anyways, let’s see what i have been up to the last few days.

(eileen requested this, so i am merely granting her wishes. see, i’m such a nice person huh? lol)

i went to the airport to see eileen off.

eilleeeennnnn-eeyyyy. how’s it up there?

go find roy keane =)

and pls dun be stupid lyk amanda, ask for autograph/take a picture.

xD

oh i finallllly watched high school musical 2!

dled it online, cos i missed the highly anticipated premier on disney channel, as my dad wanted to watch formula 1.

my review?

zac efron is soo good looking

=)

that’s all that was good abt the movie.

oh and the songs were nice.

other than that, vanessa hudgens can’t act for nuts.

and the whole show was practically the same as the 1st.

girl meets boy, boy gets distracted, friends angry at boy, girl and boy break up and then shortly after, girl and boy get back together.

o_0

i suppose its a disney movie, so there’s no need for a good plot.

ah wells.

zac efron is still so good looking

xD

oh, and i packed my bag!

so many things, its insane.

at least my room is no longer in a mess, and now its rather live-able.

i dunno why but i keep having this feeling lyk i’m forgetting smth.

weird.

AND, did i mention i FINALLY gt my fresher’s pack?

yay.

has all the freshers wk plans and other cool stuff.

lyk my room number and college plan!

this is all way too exciting.

only 1 week + till i leave good ol’ kch agn.

i don’t think the far-ness of uk has really hit me yt.

strange.

gah.

i seriously can’t remember what else i did.

oohh.

i watched the emmy’s this morning!

i loooooveee the dresses.

so jealous.

i want to be covered in designer stuff from head to toe too!

=(

yes i did!

so stupid,la.

well, today i went to saberkas to gt some pictures washed to make eileen’s present (so eileen, you better be touched)

so, yea. went there and the photo shop person told me it’ll only be ready by 4. at that time it was already 2 smth-ish.

so i thought, "what the heck, just wait,la. so malas wanna come back agn tmr. and besides, its nt lyk i’ve gt anything to do at home. especially when my mum and sister were watching federer play. AGAIN."

and did i mention i was boy-cotting the us open, after nadal lost.

man, when he fell down and had that sad look on his face, my heart nearly broke =(

anyways, i waited, loittered arnd saberkas. bought earrings, some other odds and ends. oh and panadol. LOTS of it. so i can kill someone with paracetamol overdose should the need arise.

*evil laughter*

i’m nt thatttt sadistic,la.

its for my sister and i to take to uk.

and i know we sound so jakun, buying panadol to bring over.

ah wells.

and it was four.

so collected the pics and went to carpark.

i parked at the basement place where you have to pay cos i thought/assumed the parking was still rm1 per hr.

to my utmost surprise/anger, this silly saberkas ppl charged my rm9!

for 2 hrs!

then i read the sign, which had lyk marker-ed corrections on it.

1/2 jam pertama = rm1

1/2 jam seterusnya = rm1

1/2 jam seterusnya = rm3

1/2 jam seterusnya = rm4

thus my 2 hr stay in that dinky parking lot cost me rm9.

insane,la.

evn klcc parking also nt so ex.

ish.

so annoyed that i gt cheated by saberkas ppl.

pfft.

moving on..

last saturday/sunday went to sibu to ‘make an appearance’ before jils and i leave.

evn tho the whole day i barely understood a single word, except when jils and i were talking to each other, it was pretty fun!

went to this lyk super india street place and gt super cute pj’s.

mine has sheep on them!

so adorable =)

there we basically, ate, smiled, nodded when spoken to, sat there and played the role of good children.

oh and collect money.

jst lyk cny.

fun-ness.

dunno why, almost all my aunties/uncles decided to be generous and give us cash.

i’m nt complaining =)

and we went to my dad’s village, as in where he used to stay.

that village, not very village-ey.

i expected lyk mud roads and no cars/electricity.

but noo…all the roads are made of tar and ppl evn have astro there.

o_0

pretty cool.

took some pics, but for some reason i can’t find my cable.

and that’s beacuse my room is this utter nightmare.

everything is everywhere!

ahh!

evn my bed is so covered with my new stuff that the past two nites i have been sleeping with my sister.

heee.

i HATE packing,la.

so annoying.

sigh.

i probly jst keep postponing my packing day, then when the day comes i have to leave, my mum will jst do it for me!

yay. great plan,grace.

oh i’m now leaving on the 27th noon flight.

thanks to the STUPID visa ppl.

flight to kl is lyk super super early morning.

so i don’t expect any of you kch ppl to come to the airport,la.

besides most of you kch ppl, are nt in kch anymore.

and i’m a nice friend, and understand that you ppl need sleep.

cos i wouldn’t wake up at 4smth in the morning to send anyone off.

lol.

anyways, time to go makan nw.

i’ve gt this sudden craving for crabs.

i lovveee crabs.

and most seafood for that matter.

how unfortunate that i’m going to uk where seafood is scarce.

and nt sum island.. lyk the carribean or smth!

=)

jst had crabs that day in sibu, and i feel lyk having them agn.

shall go start hinting to my parents.

xD

ahhhh!

*wails some more*

cis, la this uk visa making ppl.

not lyk the 8 hrs waiting was nt enough.

now you have to cause me more HARDSHIP?

tad dramatic.

but seriously.

they put the starting date of my vias on the 27th of september.

and i’m supposed to be entering uk on the 19th!

ahh!

thank God i re-checked my visa. if nt i’ll be stuck in heathrow for a week.

jst lyk the terminal - tom hanks movie.

so now the problem lies.

i sort of bought my ticket already to london on the 19th.

so now, gt to go call the british high com to see if i can enter the country as a tourist first.

probly not going to happen.

then have to change my ticket to the 26th, my actual leaving date.

sort of prepared myself mentally to leave on the 19th.

and excited myself by the thought of shopping on oxford street.

now, everything’s gonna change again.

sigh.

stuuuupid.

*runs of wailing*

on the bright side, i’ll be taking mas to uk, not some dodgy airline/one where i have to transit a billion places before i reach london.

=)

and ok, i’ll try to be more contented with my life.

its just that i want EVERYTHING to run smoothly.

gah.

btw, we gt a new puppy.

its tinnnyyyy.

but rather cute.

has developed strong liking for biting my feet and pajamas.

XD

willy wonka, willy wonka, the amazing chocolatier..

lalalalala.

goodness, that song, or rather that phrase has been ringing in my ears for the last few days.

lyk suddenly at random moments a jst feel lyk singing, "willy wonka, willy wonka, the amazing chocolatier!"

gah!

any ideas how to get it out of my head?

i tried the ‘listen to more other annoying songs’ technique.

didn’t work.

not even after the ‘elmo song’ and the techno frog song!

ugh.

btw, i have FINALLY finished all the harry potter books ever written!

and now, feeling the withdrawal symptoms.

sigh.

not bad huh.

great way to spend my hols.

which btw are sadly coming to an end!

noo.

apparently i’m supposed to leave on the 19th. cos my sister has smth to do in london.

so i’m jst going to tag along and hang out in london for a few days.

do some shopping, sight seeing if ji wants to bring me.

altho i’ve already seen most of the ‘touristy’ things in london.

oh.. and hopefully meet up with eva!

so soon.

all the new changes and stuff happening.

sigh.

feels lyk i got a lot of things to get done.. but when i list it out, seems lyk nth.

weird.

on the bright side, i’m going to uni!

which is exciting and daunting at the same time.

i really hope i’ll meet nice ppl.

and also good guys, cos i got a waiting list of ppl asking me to find bf’s for them in cambridge.

lol.

the though of being stuck in a plane for 13 hrs doesn’t sound very appealing to me.

i HATE planes.

i HATE travelling. i mean i lyk going on holidays and all, but the journey there? ughh.

i still wish i could do a mary poppins.

13 hours!

nt to mention the kch-kl flight.

add another 1hr 30mins.

then there’s the waiting for flight time, getting thru customs etc etc.

wahhh.

owhh. and i got my uk number already.

except its wayy too long to remember, so i’ll msg you certain ppl when i’m actually there and using that number.

hmm.

i was going to say smth but the phone rang and i got distracted.

hmmm.

gosh, i can’t remember!

ah, wells.

anyways, another win for mu!

yay!

fell asleep watching the match.

i tell you the us open is bad for me.

staying up super late and then waking up super early to catch ‘important’ matches is starting to take a toll on me.

feel sooo tired the whole day.

well, getting used to the different time zone.

haha.

american time zone.

a lot of good that’s going to be for me.

since i’m not going to us.

altho i wish i was.

as in going for a holiday there.

disneyland!

and star hunting.

lol.

i wanna go disneyland,la.

yes, i know.

i have the mentality of a 6yr old.

i love disney chanel =)

oh.. hsm2!

i wanna watch!

sept9!

zac efron is the cutest thing ever.

adam brody is the sweetest thing ever.

and cristiano ronaldo is the hottest thing ever.

=)

see, i’m being fair.

giving everyone equal flattery.

lol.

tmr, i shall try go shopping in parkson for all the things i didn’t have time to get in kl.

speaking of which..

i haven’t mentioned the NIGHTMARE i went through to make my visa.

EIGHT hours at the office, just waiting.

yes, sitting there. waiting.

the horrors.

spent my time talking to random strangers.

aha.

other than that, kl trip was pretty fun.

the nxt day esp when i went mall hopping with my dad.

from subang parade (well only cos i went to taylor’s to get my money and cert so it was near by!) to midvalley and then to ou.

all in one day.

pretty impressive huh.

and the things i managed to buy within that very short period of time..

=)

i shocked myself.

altho i STILL need more things.

shopping is so not fun when you HAVE to buy smth.

as in you are looking for a particular smth?

not fun.

*shakes head*

uhuh.

my best record was buying three tops in less than an hr.

ahah.

okies, shall go watch more tennis.

i’m lyk addicted to tennis.

the first thing i say when i come home and the tv’s on is "no tennis now,ar?"

scary.

sharapova’s out!

so is safin and hewitt.

i sure hope nadal’s injury is not serious.

i want him to reach the finals.

and win.

nadal three time french open champion, us open champion 2007.

sounds good.

=)
