That's me in the title up there. Yup, little ol' me. The term was coined by my friend last year when we were on field trip cause I couldn't really keep my balance when we were walking along the coast. Hence, Bambi on ice =P Now, that was on solid land, on proper shoes sudah ah... Imagine me on sharp blades, trying to glide along on the ice. And you'd have a pretty good picture of what I did tonight.

Yep. I went skating. With J. Last night, while me and the housemates were watching Desperate Housewives, they managed to convince me to just make a go of it, and accept his offer of going ice skating. So I did! *blush* Was (sorta) fun lah, there was another guy from dance there too, and the boys had fun laughing at my attempt of staying off my ass =P Haha..I think I may even have improved my skating skills a teeny bit ;o) He stayed next to me most of time, and from time to time tried to convince me to skate a full lap without touching the side barriers...And he'd literally prevent me from going to the barrier, by pushing me closer to the centre of the ice, and further away from the barrier! =P So yeah.. I went skating. In the rain. Yay for me! =D He walked me back too, and stayed for a cuppa at my place, and met all the housemates. I was *so* afraid that as soon as I stepped into the room, they say something embarassing, like "How was the date???" or "D'you like him then??" but thankfully, they didn't, although T came close to putting his foot in his mouth by going "How was it then??" and when I gave him a glare, he was like "What's that look for??" and then J stepped into the lounge and T recovered beautifully by goin "How was the ice-skating?" Heheh.. nasib nasib.. Or I might've died of embarassment =P I was a complete bundle of nerves for the whole day til I saw him though, am not usually this nervous about meeting up with a guy. Go figure =P

Had a pretty busy day actually. Went into town in the morning for a spot of retail therapy, first stop: Harvey Nick's. I'd heard that they were having a major final sales and I thought I'd check it out. Oh my god, the discounts were HUGE!! Dior pumps that I fell in love with last time were reduced from 300 to 175 and finally to 75!! Tapi nada my size =( Jimmy Choos too, from 200 to 90! Also nada in my size =( *However* I did manage to get a pastel pink satin mini, reduced from 165 pounds to (get this) 10!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw the price tag, and I knew it was fate when the skirt was in my size too. Now if that's not destiny, then... *shrug* =D Also managed to get a pair of DKNY jeans for like.. 28 pounds. Heheh Dreamer babe, I *can* be a bargain queen when I wanna be ;o)

After that I met up for coffee at Starbucks with a girl from dance, S. Then rushed over to this Moroccan restaurant for dinner. A Bruneian postgrad, KB, is leaving Leeds for good tomorrow and she had her farewell dinner tonight. The food at that place was just delish! Seriously, so good.. I had steak and chips, but I didn't finish it cause the service was super-slow and I had a date to make haha =P I think I totally embarassed myself when I left though, I had to leave my meal unfinished, and then when I stood to leave, I gave KB a hug and tears just started flowing! =P And I didn't even think that I'd cry, but suddenly, the waterworks switched on! *hides face in embarassment* In front of everyone else lagi tu =P Cue taking phones and cameras out and taking pictures of me haha =P

Guess that's all for now, have a 9am class tmw, might do some Boxercise in the afternoon. Need to work off the post holiday flab y'know ;o)

Ciao Bellissimas! xoxo

MissTress - Linked! Also, if you wanna get your tragus pierced, I'd recommend getting it done overseas, Singapore's Far East Plaza would probably be your best bet. Not too trusting of any other piercers in Brunei and/or Miri. Make sure the place you choos is hygienic, uses gloves, new needles, etc. Get them to explain the cleaning process, healing, etc. Basically find out as much as you can before getting it done =) Try here for a good piercing site

S99 - Heheh well what she doesnt know won't hurt her... If she's allowed you 7(!!!) cartilage piercings, I can't imagine she'd be that strict about a tragus... Heheh ;o)

I've finally gotten around to sorting out a links list hehe... Anyways, if I've forgotten anyone's link, please tag me okies? :D

xoxo

Hey all =) Been ages since I last updated this place, I blame it all on the new teaching term, and me being too tired to post for the past coupla nights =P Heheh...Right, let's begin with short summaries of my since Sunday, yes?

Sunday - Great fun, had a random Bruneian gathering, and I made shepherd's pie for the first time ever, and it actually turned out edible! (yay for me =D) However, I now have an ugly burn on my wrist where I accidentally touched the oven when I took the pie out of the oven. That scar now matches the one on my right wrist, back from when I was cooking the the Dock's kitchen last year =P I had a great time, it was just like old times actually, we were stuffing our faces every couple of hours, watched a couple of movies, gossiped, massaged(!!) Lol =D

Monday - Heard on the radio that last Monday was officially called Blue Monday, cause it was the Monday where most people got depressed. Something to do with it being the middle of winter, spring seems too far away, etc etc. Had a pretty alright day, I've got a bitch of a Monday again this term, 5 hours,, with 4 of them in a row =( On the other hand, I've started doing more oil company based modules, like seismic interpretation and petroleum geology modules, so I'm quite liking it at the moment =) Plus I've got 2-3 hours every Monday with my favourite postgrad demonstator :wub: haha... This guy is soooo shy, its hard to start a normal conversation with him that doesn't involve geology =P But oh-so-cute =D

Tuesday - First dance class of the term!! =D We went reallly slowly in yesterday's class cause we had a coupla beginners in, so it wasn't anything spectacular. Saw J again and he looked extra cute.. Was kicking myself for not contacting him or anything over the weekend, that's for sure =P (heheh sorry ezra and Insomniac, was too malu to contact him, me shy shy girl *blush*) Signed up for the dance comp in Sheffield on 12/2 too =)

Also did a spot of house-hunting, we're looking for a 7 bedroom house this year cause T and A are moving out, so me and my ex-hallmate are basically combining our houses. At the moment though, the other girls're superkeen on signing for a house we saw yesterday, but me and my current housemates don't like any of the houses yestday that much. Plus I don't really wanna rush into signing anything too soon, and would rather wait for Unipol to open, but.. I dunno... *sigh* House-hunting is a big big stress I wish I don't have to go through =(

When I got home last night, I basically collapsed on our couch, I was just too tired to move to my room =P Stayed there til 12 when I finally dragged my sorry ass up to my room to collapse on bed and fell asleep immediately haha.. Was in the middle of watching I am Sam with the housemates but I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore =P

But but but, one good thing about last night, after I was done kicking myself about J and whining to my housemates about him, he texted me!! I was shocked to say the least, and he's asked me whether I wanted to go ice-skating sometime this week. Can't skate to save my life though (probably the product of coming from Brunei =P Or my lack of balance) so... I don't know...? I told him I wasn't sure of my skating abilities and he was like well, give me a text if you have any other plans...I can't keep turning the guy down but but...I dunno *confused* =S

Oh lord, this is turning out to be a huuuuge post...

Left ear, with new tragus piercing =)

Right ear, with cartilage piercing at top :o)

Friday, January 21, 2005

Heheh got it done got it done!!! =D Whew, can't believe I've finally got my tragus pierced! =D And it didn't hurt at all! I was slightly freaked when I sat in the chair, and she clamped my ear, but the piercer sprayed an anaesthetic/numbing spray on the area, and then the needle went in, and that was it! I've read some people's account of the tragus piercing, and they said they heard their cartilage crackle or pop as the needle went through, but I didn't feel anything. Next thing I knew, the lady was like "All done!" Cost me a cool 25 pounds, but it was way worth it =D I've cleaned it for the first time tonight, and the antiseptic lotion stung, but that's to be expected I guess...Heheh...

Pics up soon!! xoxo

p/s: Give some love to this babe, she was holding my hand tight throughout the piercing session, bless her *hugs* It'll be her turn soon to get pierced heheh :D

Hey all! Short post tonight, just got back from Nando's and after that we caught House of Flying Daggers. Nandos was alright, would've been better if I'd been able to taste =( House of Flying Daggers was beautiful. I've never used that term to decribe a movie before, but it really was the most gorgeous movie I've ever seen. The settings, scenes and directing was really good...Takeshi Kaneshiro was beautiful as well, obviously ;o)

I think I blew my chances with J(Dance guy) by the way. He texted me today right, asking about exams and stuff, and then he asked me whether I'd be very busy this weekend. And for some reason right, even though in my head I was thinking "Ooooh is he maybe gonna ask me for a date?" *prasan* I replied back saying "I'm gonna try and be as un-busy as I can get this weekend." Now at the time, I thought that might sound that I was free the whole weekend and that he was welcome to ask me out anytime he wanted. BUT then my guy friends told me that I'd made it sound like I wasn't interested in going out at all this weekend! God, talk about getting my signals crossed =( I think I make life complicated for myself sometimes =( He replied me once after that text saying he'd see me during dance then, and when I replied, he didn't reply back... Sigh...Help, anyone...? ...Please...? =(

Not too sure what to do, do I text him and ask him to do something over the weekend, or do I just leave it be...? What if I'm just being perasan and he wasn't even planning on asking me out...? Aiyo... *blur*

Gonna go to bed now, getting my ear pierced tomorrow!! xoxo

Thursday, January 20, 2005

I'm going to Greece for my final year project!!!!!! Yayyy =D Very very happy that I got my first choice of projects, and the other people in the Greece trips are all nice people I get along with =D Was a bit scared that I'd be stuck for 2 months with people I hate, but the list sounds good so far =D

Off to town soon!! xoxo

Wednesday, January 19, 2005

It's over, it's over!!! *cartwheels across the room* *huggies and kishes everyone* God, I can't believe I finally completed my final paper today! It felt like I've been preparing for them for agessss, though it must've only been 2 weeks or so =P My last paper, Palaeontology went alright I guess, definitely better than the last 2 i've done =P
When I got home, I got all domestic again and I cleaned the lounge up and cooked dinner for everyone else in the house! (impressive kan kan kan?? Kalau you guys ada nice single men to promote me to, you're more than welcome to =D) Haha.. I cooked ayam kurma, but wouldn't you just know it, I *still* cant taste, so I have no idea how the chicken turned out =P The housemates made appropriate sounds of contentment when they were eating, but what if they were just being polite?? =/
I've got no energy to do anything today...It took me like an hour to muster up the will to climb the last flight of stairs to my room, just so i could post haha =P Internet addict, much? =D I'm gonna vegetate in front of the telly tonight I think, Desperate Housewives'll be on, and then channel surfing til I fall asleep =D
Plans for tomorrow? Well first of all, I don't plan on gettin up til after 10, when my room will be well and truly warmed up for human habiutation. For the past coupla days I've woken up before my heating switches on, and my room, I swear, is like a meat freezer!! If it weren't for the fact that I had to get up for an exam, or to do some last minute studying for an exam later that afternoon, I'd never get out of bed =S
I can dress up for the first time in a while too! =D Not dress up dress up, but better than what I've been wearing to uni recently...Who can actually be bothered to spend hours on their hair, makeup and clothes before an exam anyways? Putting makeup on again will feel like a luxury =D Haha... Then might get my nails done, nothing better than a manicure to make a girl feel pampered, no? =) Oh and definitely doing starbucks at some point in the day too, mocha frappe MmmmMMmm =D
Heheh.. this was a truly random and useless post, but just bear with me heheh =D

Ice pick man's gone, but he seems to have left a whole bunch of cotton wool in my head. My head feels really stuffy and heavy. There may be just a teeny weeny possibility that I'm sick =P What perfect timing, how'm I gonna celebrate end of exams properly tomorrow?? =( *sigh* I won't be able to taste Nando's either!! *cries*
And trust me yeah, I got sick at the worst possible time: in the middle of my Sedi exam today!! Sudah jua it was a hard paper, I wasn't even operating at my full mental capacity =/ And the lab was freeeeezing, I was shivering throughout the whole 2 hours, so that didn't help matters much either... I'm just hoping for the best in that one, it was not a pretty paper =( Can't wait for 4 pm tomorrow, end of Paleo paper then I can go home and collapse!! I can't believe I've got 3 exams in a row, that must be illegal somehow, against student rights or something?? =P

Oh yeah, it snowed today!!! Pretty white flakes; didn't settle though, but it was very very cold today. Me and my friends were hoping to get snowed in, but no such luck *phooey* ;o) I'm hoping it won't snow too heavily til after exams cause I don't really fancy slipping and sliding into uni on the icy hill from my house. Worse comes to worse, I'm getting a cab! =D haha... kebasaran banar, go uni also want to be driven around, ingat Brunei kli =P

I swear there's a little man in my head, armed with an icepick and he's randomly stabbing parts of my brain whenever the fancy strikes him to do so. I've got a splitting headache, and the little man isn't making things any better =(

Just got back from my morning exam, Igneous and Metamorphic Processes...Atu payah. I thought I'd be able to do at least half of the paper, but the questions were superhard =( I'm not looking forward to the grades for this one =( My lecturer actually set an essay question based one ONE slide in one of her lectures from 2 months ago!! How mean is that?? Vague lagi tu her slides and she never emphasised how important it would be to memorise and read up on the bloody thing =/ *deep breath* Whew..Guess I just have to hope for the best and start my revising for tomorrow's exam *cringe*

Am trying to convince my mom to come online cause I wanna show her something...Remember the photo shoot I did a month or so ago? I just got sent an electronic copy and I just wanted to show it to her hehe =P By the way, did I mention that I got some earrings off that silver webby I linked? When I say some, I mean *whispers 10 pairs whispers* *blush* Heheh...Went just a leeeetle bit overboard there haha...But I'm very impressed with the site, I made the order on Saturday morning, and it came Monday morning 8 am..Quick delivery and very efficient handling..Haha I sound like an ad advertising the site =P

Mana tia my mom ani...Sigh.. might take my nap now, see y'all soon!!

p/s: been hearing rumors recently about a ziarah happening very very soon, any updates?? I haven't been down to London since I got back here, would be good to go over for a short break *thinks of Harrods and Selfridges* ;o)

Should be studying but I keep getting distracted. Even now I only logged on to check something on my uni site and decided to blog instead =P Exam's at 930 am tomorrow, and although I don't wanna sit for it yet, at the same time I can't wait cause I know that once Monday's over, the rest of the exams will go by realllly quickly and then I'll be free! *bounce* =D Soooo many thing I wanna do, first of all will probably catching up on lost sleep, and then pampering myself and couch-potato-ing over the whole weekend! =D I'm feeling a bit sniffly and a sore throat's just come on, fingers crossed I dont get ill and lose my sense of taste or something!! =S

I don't actually have anything to blog about haha... =P jobless banar.. Glad you ladies like the silver site I linked, and gents, if you ever wanna get your lady friends *cough me cough* any gifts, you know where to get them from ;o) Heheh....

Right, this was a totally pointless post that's taken up 5 minutes of my study time haha...

Ciao! xoxo

p/s: Have you guys head Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem's duet called Almost Here? it's really good, and it's on permanent repeat on my pc (to the annoyance of my housemates lol!)

Saturday, January 15, 2005

Hey all =) Yeah yeah, I know y'all are thinking "eh this girl ah,last post panic brabis about not studying, but still got time to update the blog one..." Heheh... Well the thing is, a good night's (or any sleep really) can always make you feel better about any situation. Until the next panic attack that is =P But I swear I'll start studying before 12!! I kinda have to anyways, seeing as how I've sweet FA for my papers on Monday and Tuesday =P

I went to sleep at about...230 last night, but before that was hanging out in T's room with him and A. A left at about 2 and I told myself I'd just take a little nap and continue studying after that...Haha tekarang! I fell asleep in T's room for a bit, then got up twenty minutes later T woke me up and I dragged myself up into my room on the next floor up. Guess what I found?? My bed (which was full of books etc) was cleared and made up, all ready for me to sleep!! And when I pulled my duvet back, Dunky (T's hot water bottle) was there warming my bed up for me!! All courtesy of T!! How schweet was that?? Heheh... bless him, he's a real nice guy, will miss him next year when he does his year abroad in UCLA =( But me and Coen've already made plans to visit him and A(in Alberta) next winter!! =D Sh0uld start saving up now I spose =)

By the way, anyone been to Paris recently? Any recommendations of where to stay/which airline to use/where to shop?? I'm planning a trip to Paris for Easter with some friends of mine. Disneyland, here I come!! =D

Oh yes, this webby sells gorgeous gorgeous silver accessories! Clicky

p/s: Give some love to a friend of mine who's just joined the blogging world =D Linky

Oh my god oh my god I've done no work today!!!! Was gonna work tonight but my ex-hallmate from last year came by to discuss house stuff cause we're living together next year and we were just being girly girls and she ended staying til about 1145!! And I've done nothing today, seriously, oh my god!! =S =S

Right, no sleep tonight then =S

Thursday, January 13, 2005

I miss the times back in seconday school, when me and my friends had what could have been called a good life together. But now that I'm here, I've missed out on so many things, and even the others back home aren't as close anymore. I know it's natural to move on and stuff, but it still hurts, and looking at our old pictures just brings makes it that much more real that we've drifted apart. Whatever happened to our plans of being each other's bridesmaids? Of being godmothers to each other's children? Of hanging out together even when we were grannies? Will that still happen now?

Dk, Jen, Min, Oyun - Babes, I miss you guys and our times together lots and lots. I don't even know what's been going on in your lives, and you guys don't know what's been going on in mine. We text every so often, email every coupla months and speak even less. But I still hope that when we all finally get back together in Brunei, we'll be back to being as close as we were before and that all our earlier plans'll come to life. Love you guys loads <3

=(

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

..Exams that is heheh =D Yep, i've sat for 2 of my 5 papers for this semester, and surprise surprise I've actually survived! Had a paper at 2-3 yesterday and a 930 exam this morning bleh...I think that's just bad planning man, sudah jua abis kinda akhir yesterday, then today start early brabis again that =P And the weather this morning...oh my god. It was raining heavily and the wind was like at gale speeds.. I actually get blown about by it!! And I'm not some tiny slip of a girl either, so you guys can imagine how strong the wind was blowing! =S

Anyways, after my exam I went into town to get a fringe trim (yet again...It grows really quickly and I have to get it cut every 2-3 weeks...Baik saja free or I'd be broke by now =P) I was also planning to check out the pricings for piercings at one of the studios in town and then have a quick mocha frappe break at starbucks@borders....Heheh I'm sure you guys can guess what happened next...

I did everything I planned to, but I also spent loadssss more than I planned to! I don't even know why!! Seriously guys, going into town makes me grin like a madwoman...I distinctly remember my spirits physically lifting as soon as I walked down the street that leads to all the shops =S Just being in town makes me feel better, and buying stuff makes me feel *even* better! =D Shopping's like my drug, a very very expensive one =P Being addicted to shopping is like being in a good trip 24/7, you'd never have a bad trip, or come crashing down after a high, cause you've got all these wonderful purchases to show for your trip... Well until your bank statement goes into the negative that is haha...But I'll deal with that when it comes, at the mo' I'm still in my happy mood heheh...Some of the stuff I got included : Mikey earrings, 2 (cheap-ness) Zara Ts, Benetton shirt (for work-always helps to start prepping my wardrobe early =D), 6(!!!) books, 2 waterproof trousers (field gear), Accesorize handbag (Been loving it forever, got it in the sale reduced from 30 to 9 pounds!!!!)

And then when I got home, for some reason I was really hyper. As in really really hyper,up to the point that I actually cleaned(sorta) our lounge and kitchen!! I'm not normally a neat freak, unlike *some people* I could mention (=D) but I was really hyper after coming home, and the house's been looking like a hovel recently, cause people've been really busy with exams.. So I thought since I had a 4 day break, I might as well do something productive. It was actually quite cool being so domestic, I even hoovered the carpet!! And all the while I was listening to Jagged Edge's rendition of All Out Of Love.. Heheh Maybe I really *was* on a chemical high! =P

Should've started studying 90 minutes ago, but hey, I think I deserve a break, right? ;o)

Sunday, January 09, 2005

So I wanted to take a little nap before continuing my revision for the night yeah, and I came up with the idea that I'll take a nap in my housemate, Tom's room, while he's working. My logic being that, if I were to take a nap there, I wouldn't be tempted to just stay in bed and sleep til the morning like I usually would be, since y'know..not my bed and all =P So I told Tom, and he was alright with it, and I proceeded to get nice and cosy and realllly looking forward to my one hour nap. And it was ok pulang...for the first 15 minutes, that is.

Skali ada cia sorang lagi housemate ku atu, masuk cia jua bilik si Tom...Nampak kali sudah ah aku trying to tidur (and in fact, we both told her aku kan tidur) tapinya dibawanya jua kami cerita...Si Tom kan buat keraja kali ah and aku berselimut brabis sudah atas katil, dipajalnya jua =P Nap-time ku patutnya from 1030-1130, skalinya by 11 masihhh tia bercerita..Eh sasak kali ku ah...Walaupun ya nada exams, paham2 lah yang kami yang lain ani mesti belajar and stuff.. si Tom pun nda dapat blajar, bising ah, poor him =P Eventually sampai he left the room kali ah, and mengadu arah si Coen, tapi orang ani masih jua nda paham =P Skalinya (and this annoyed me the most) she masuk bawah selimut sama aku, and ya pulang tertidur wah!! I mean, hello?? Membagi malas banar..sudah jua ku nda bertiduran leh nya, ya pulang tidur and aku pulang nda dapat! *Grr* p/s: I get kinda cranky if my sleep gets interrupted (can y'all tell? ;o))

Got out of bed in quite a mood (ya tidur pulang masih) and went downstairs to the lounge to kinda snap out of the daze for a bit.. and now here I am =P Still not rested, with tons of work to do =(

By the way, the housemates and I have come up with an end of exam plan. On the 20th (last papers for everyone) we're planning to do dinner at Nando's in Bradford, and then catch White Noise at the cineplex there =D Yay-ness, something to live for for the next week =P

Ooh, mom's just texted and she's gonna call yay! =D xoxo

Friday, January 07, 2005

4 days left to my first paper, and I'm having problems with my assignment due on Monday. As the title says, I. am. screwed. I've always been bad at this particular topic in my course *cough mapping cough* and my first paper on Tuesday IS mapping! I'm contemplating whether to sacrifice my assignment (worth 30% of my module) and concentrate on the exam (worth 50%) or vice versa... And I don't know whether I've actually retained everything I've been reading during the past week or so...And these grades actually count towards my degree...and I don't want to mess this up, but I'm out of time and I'm just mentally exhausted and sleep deprived and I just want to get it over and done with but at the same time I dont want the exams to come yet because I'm that unprepared for it...

I'm off to kill myself now =P

Thursday, January 06, 2005

It's finally here, the thing I've been waiting for for the past coupla weeks or so...Announcing the arrival of my old friend, Exam Panic =P Woke up a *lot* earlier than scheduled today, cause I suddenly woke up in a complete panic about my exams...Then I went to the lounge and watched tv for a bit and the panic dissipated for a while haha...Pedah pedah.. you'd have thought that panicking would mean that I'd start a study frenzy, but nda jua =P But I've been good today, this is the only time I'm using the net (on my pc) The whole day on my friends'/housemates' pcs lol =D Am only gonna be online for a while, according to my "timetable",an hour saja, let's see if I stick to it shall we =P Tom's just offered me some apple pie he brought up from home, and I'd never turn that down, specially with cornish dairy ice cream! Mmmm, very the niceness =D /pie edit Omg, that pie was the most delish pie EVER...I'm not normally a huge fan of pies, but this was blackcurrant and apple pie and the combination was just gorgeous... I kept getting topups, it was that good...Screw the diet lol! =D

Ooh ooh the stuff I ordered online last week came today!! *bounces* My 4 pairs of earrings from ASOS, and a Goodbye Kitty top..Ever heard of Goodbye Kitty before? It's basically a piss-take on Hello Kitty and usually shows a picture of a cute kitty cat in a sure death situation..Mine shows the kitty in a blender lol! It's cruel but oh-so-cute =D I aldo got this "Little Brown Bag" bag that's supposed to be famous in the States, but I just got it cause I thought it was cute haha...Next on the list : My fcuk layered T *rubs hands together in anticipation*

Oh yeah, my houseguest for the last week or so went back home today...And even though he was only here for a short time, me, Coen and the others were actually kinda sad to see him go. It's not like we won't ever see him again, he *does* live on the other side of town saja =P It's just the fact that we're just used to seeing him everytime we go into the lounge and he's practically become part of our household haha =P I didn't know him that well before this week, but I think we've gotten to be better friends now...Which is always a good thing *grins*

*Whispers Btw, I wanna get a new piercing done riiiiight after my exams whispers* Haha..I guess it's true what they say about piercings being addictive, once you get one, you always want more! I've had just 2 lobe piercings for ages and ages, but sometime last September I got this urge to pierce my lobes once more...Of course the parentals (Mom, especially) didn't agree, but I kinda went ahead and did them anyways *blush* And while I was there, I got my cartilage pierced as well *double blush* Mom wasn't happy, but what could she do, right? And Daddy just laughed, typical lol! Now, I've been really wanting this tragus piercing,If you or anyone you know has had this piercing done, can you tell me your/their experiences please? Sakit banar kah...? =S It looks cute, but I've heard that it's the most painful place to be pierced ever, so.... *a lil nervous*

Well, guess I should get back to the mapping now, nightz all!! xoxo

Hey all =) I don't really have anything to write about today, I'm just blogging for the sake of blogging..and to procrastinate from my work =S My exams're in 6(!!!!!) days and I am nowhere near prepared for them...I just got off to a realllly slow start to the revising, and I'm paying for it now..guess I'd better prepare my mind and body for a fortnight of sleepless nights, panic, caffeine perk-ups, and all the other crap that comes with the exam period...Honestly though, you'd think that after being in education for the past...*counts on fingers*...17 years or so, I'd have learnt by now to start studying for my exams earlier...But noooo =P It's the same thing year after year, exam after exam...I never learn, really =/ At least I've only got one exam period this whole year, this semester, all my work gets assessed througout the semester, so no exams in June, yay! =D But, that also means I have to work consistently throughout the next 5 months or so, no more slacking...Bleh... I dunno which is worse =P

Anyways, enough time wasting, I'm off start reading Mineralogy!! xoxo

Last night was great!! We stuffed ourselves silly at the Chinese buffet restaurant, Wokmania, and I kept doing stupid stuff and getting caught doing it, and have the others take the piss out of me =P Haha..Me and Ady gorged ourselves on the crispy duck pancake..and soft ice-cream with butterscotch sauce, rainbow sprinkles and marshmallows...Mmmm...Well worth the 10 pounds for dinner! Definitely, definitely, definitely have to start dieting sharpish, festive seasons are so bad for me =S

After that we got entry tickets to Bar Risa to celebrate the new year in, Advanced tickets cost 12 pounds! A lot more expensive than I'm used to, but I guess it was cause it was New Year's Eve...Tried checking out Creation too, but it was 25 pounds per entry! *faints* Apparently, they had acrobats and stilt walkers planned for the night...Screw the entertainers, that 25 pounds could get me a nice fcuk top =P Haha...Before going to Bar Risa, we went over to Ka Bibah's new apartment for a bit, and oh my god, it was gorgeous!! It was a properly post apartment, I think we'll be paying her many more visits before she leaves Leeds for good =)

Eventually got back to Risa at about 1130 and we left when the place closed at 2... haha.. It was good fun, especially since all the Bruneian undergrads were out with us! First time ever that, but hopefully not the last ;o) These people can seriously dance, even the guys!! =D Risa played a little of of everything last night, but I think we missed most of the RnB, so we were mostly dancing to cheese most of the time =P There were a couple of sleazes out there, but I guess it was to be expected since the Uni students weren't back yet, they were probably townies or yuppies or some such sort =P Found out late last night that a guy in my course works behind the Risa bar, and he got me a free drink..Man if I'd known that earlier, I'd have asked for more drinks heheh =P Bless him though, he was a schweetie...

Got up earlier than expected today, think its a hint from my subconscious that I need to start working, pronto...So off I shall go, after having some brekkie that is =D

Ciao! xoxo
