"One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams."
-E. V. Lucas

I just came back (and slept and did a resumè) from Fizah's house... after what we call here, going 'beraya'. She is part of my so-called friends gang... I think I shall stop calling them that for now. We have been going out 'beraya' for two days already, including today. We will be up to that summore next week. Even then, we have not really been to everybody's house. I'm not opening my house this year, you know how small it is, we have not been to most houses actually. Yesterday we went to Pija, Im, Am & Izham's houses. Today was Fizah's house, next week Saturday will be Fazlin's house, Sunday nite will be Haidi's house (also to celebrate his birthday), and then during Chinese New Year will be Amin's house. Wow... I guess I will have to be a good girl this coming week. Okay, not to say that I have not had a good time, but I do not appriciate some people inviting people out of the group, to join us without prior notice. I don't like that. I mean, you should have a certain respect that the group should only be of certain people, and not just simply add people to things that is a gang tradition. Okay, there are some people that I don't like in the gang, but then again, isn't that usual... I mean, you can't like everybody in the group, especially if it is a group that is of two sexes.

I am looking forward to college... hopefully I will get to see my OBJECT OF MY LUST AND DESIRE. I didn't get to see him on Friday, but I saw him on Thursday! I was pleased! When I think about it again, I don't usually see him on Fridays... even in the last semester, I wonder why...? I seriously, seriously think that he know about my huge crush on him. Nadh told me that when she saw him when she parked her car, she noticed that he was giving her the look, the one that people give when they know that you are one of the friends of the person who has a crush on them... eiii... PERASAN... But, hey, makes it even easier for me. Now, if only I can get somebody to dare me to go and talk to him, and get to know him. I don't know if I actually will though. I think I would.. if I gather enough guts I would. Maybe I should make that to one of my New Year's resolution...

Marini and I did actually go to the "Who Wants A Cigarette" on Friday nite. So happens, Kohini (and her cousin) was there too! That was a nice surprise. Then we stayed back and waited for Arnaz and Fiona and went out for dinner, or supper rather. I kinda got to know Avinash and Govin, the people who I always have to hear about, the complaints and rants from Vithya. I supposed it was refreshing to actually know these people after hearing sooo much about them. It is not as refreshing though, to actually know them. It was nice to see Arnaz again. ^_^ We followed the cast and crew to Bangsar to eat actually. Then the rest of them went to 'have a drink' at one of the nearby clubs... I can't remember what's it called, but it is next to Carnagie's. But we left early though, because we were bored.

I also have been to IDP Australia and MACEE in the past weekend. I seriously think I will continue my studies in Murdoch U because it is such a nice place! I think I might be able to get used to that place. Now I really wish that my dad would let me go in my second year. Someone asked me this weekend whether I really wanted to go to Australia (even after much rantings from me). Of course I answered yes. That was quite a weird question. I've already planned so much that I want to do (like check out the theatre scene, go for another eyebrow piercing (this one looks like it's coming out) and also getting involved in a lot of things there) so off course I wanna go there!

I was also elected to become President of the PArts (Performing Arts Club/Society). I guess I was proud, but I don't think I deserve it. I am not quite as talented, and to succeed Davina will definitely be a problem. I've got so much planned, but I don't know whether I would actually succeed in that. But we'll see...

I think I will go now... Maybe catch up on watching some telly, and get a bath... I stink.. LoL! ^_^ See ya!

"There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone--many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long. Not for nothing is their motto TGIF -- 'Thank God It's Friday.' They live for the weekends, when they can go do what they really want to do. "
-Richard Nelson Bolles

What is this, month of meeting old crushes?? Today, or rather, yesterday has been the best day of the week. I finally got to see the OBJECT OF MY LUST AND DESIRE after what has been two months, okay, I think about a month and a half of not seeing him. I hope he is back for good, coz I have been seeing his friends around college lately. But surprisingly, today, he was with a new group of friends, and he is, as usual, with his trademark blue t-shirt over a white long-sleeved t-shirt. I have discovered the similarities of the guys I have crushes (like the major huge ones) on, they have to have straight short hair, wears spectacles, and also of a good build, but not too chubby. They are not too tall, but usually a little bit taller than me (best for imagination images of us making out?? LoL). I was thankful today that I wore good clothes. I saw him on two occasions today, one was before Communication Skills Class and the other was when I was going back. I am so thankful that I had remembered to buy the chocolate fudge cake, which made me kinda late (Nadh, Jasmine, Shobana & Kosila went before me, although I wanted to leave first, then stalled by the chocolate fudge cake!) and hence, made me able to see him again!! *sigh* He's cute. I wonder whether he broke up with the girlfriend already <-- bad girl!

Before I continue with my bad girl thoughts, I just wanted to say SORRY to my darling Royce for not being able to go for his performance in the Chinese Assembly Hall on Friday. I'm really sorry coz it slipped my mind when I told Fiona to book my tickets for Friday nite. Other people who knows Royce, please do go and watch him perform, this will be his last before he leaves for the US! Hmm... maybe I can get you to perform for PARTS, eh Royce? Oh yeah, to anybody who is interested, I will be watching "Who Wants A Cigarette" on Friday nite (at the Actor's Studio). I just hope Fiona remembers to book the tickets for me! I haven't seen her around lately, maybe because I don't have any same classes with her.

I am really excited about learn advertising, more than I'd expected me to be. It is surprising, coz I have never envisioned myself to be in the advertising field. I am also looking forward to the coursework we are supposed to do. We're supposed to set up an advertising agency and pick a client to present and do an ad campaign for. Then, we're planning quite a lot of stuff for Comm Skills as well... I just hope we can actually do all the projects that we are proposing on time. I hope it wouldn't be like last semester where we actually pissed Ms Vin off quite a lot, I think. She's actually gone nice this semester, but I still think she doesnt like me. *Oh well*... at least she is being tolerable and not sarcastic! Which reminds me, I'll have to set up the proposals, but I think I'll do it tomorrow... since I have not gotten the contact info from Nadh and Jasmine. And I am so brain-dead on where I can actually get a tape recorder... I can't go on to continue Jaq's one! And Jen has not been coming to class this week. I wonder why...? But back to the problem... Where can I get a tape recorder?! Oh yeah, Ms Vin also said that we would be conducting the combine classes when we finished 'building up our confidence', despite what she said last semester that we wouldn't be doing it because she doesn't think we can handle the responsibility. Ha ha.. I don't know what hit her, but then again, I guess we showed her with the results?! We are also supposed to write a resume and hand it in to her on Monday. We get to choose who we want to apply to, and put it in an envelope with the address outside. I have to ask her though, whether we need to put a cover letter in front of the CV. I hope I don't forget. I need to buy post-it notes!

Today, the show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" that we went and watched the filming, went on telly. It was kewl, coz I knew the answers of the questions and also who won what and how much... but then again, as expected, my face was highly non-visible... *ceh* I would expect to have at least a glimpse of a clear vision... *oh well.....*

Excitingly, we are mostly likely going to visit the National Library and also maybe to the set of Roda Impian in Astro <-- courtesy of Nadh... wow, two television shows in two semester... not bad huh?? But really, the effort was all with us I suppose. I mean, if we didn't initiate it, then it wouldn't happen, ne?

I wanna say SORRY to Qahar and the rest of the people who are supposed to be involved with the MVA meeting on Sunday. I am sorry I didn't come and I am sorry that I didn't call!

I think I'll go to sleep now.. Oh, I think I'll flip through the magazines now, considering my sister is sleeping in my bed, and I have no where else to sleep, except if I carry her back to my mum's bed, or push her a little bit to make space for me to sleep. Ah, we'll see...

Dear God, I am thankful for many things today, but I am especially thankful for not being effected by the usage of vulgar words around me. Amen.
