flawed work of art.

in my host family's kitchen, where I love to hang out simply because I'm in the midst of food (hehe) & during pre-meal times, it smells simply fantastic in there. oh & the heat from the cooking is great too. even though, the weather has been alright the past few days. average: 13-14 degrees perhaps? I know all you fellow m'sians are probably going, 'darn it!' but let me tell you, it still is cold especially at night or sometimes when the sun refuses to come out. you should see the way I react when the sun miraculously shines on a certain spot. I lunge for it. honestly. I run to the spot where the sun is shining. call me a limelight stealer, or in this case, sunlight stealer. can't wait for summer.

speaking of summer, folks may be coming over during summer break. I end my term on the 16th of June, but my plane ticket is currently booked on 24th. they haven't decided if they're coming, but chances are good, much to the dismay of xin. haha. but I really wanna go tour london & beyond with them cos'
1) no one here wants to join me in adventure-seeking
2) no one here wants to be seen like a jap tourist looking all dumb
3) actually, I'm kinda saving up my moolah for something special

yep, so, with them coming here, I can go makan at all the nice nice restaurants & not feel guilty about emptying my pockets =)

oh. went to nando's last night for dinner. nando's is a famous chicken franchise, shawn, not some mamak's name. *smacks hand on forehead* being friday however, I had a veg pitta. which was scrumptious. or maybe, I was just hungry. haha. I was shuttling from our table to the drinks table island, where I filled up diet coke, fanta, coke etc. man, I should get a job as a waitress.

mm yes, good restaurants. anyone heard of wagamama? it's this cool jap restuarant that started in london but bloomed all over the place like holland & aussie. miso noodle place in croydon is like so feeble, standing next to wagamama. they serve stuff like fusion ramen and cool desserts and what not. how do I know this? well, when I was eating b'fast, yours truly was feeling kinda curious, and therefore turned to the cookbook book-shelf and spotted the wagamama recipe book. yum. I'm so bringing my folks there in june!

you know what saddens me? losing a friend. to an accident, to the passages of time and to the trials of distance. something happened between me & a college friend, and now, we're no longer as close as we used to. pity, really. but if that's what that friend is comfortable with, I have no further qualms about it.

on a happier note, I'm so proud of hilary. heh. sorry peeps, it's something private :) let's just say, it's a caterpillar turn into a butterfly sortta thing. ok. not a very good analogy. but, works for me.

by the way, does anyone know how much it costs to send an sms from m'sia to london? tag me. it's importante.

after nando's last night, we watched scary movie 4. which spooked me a little, especially when the little blue ju-on boy was meowing all over. eeee. I was like, the only sicko who screamed when he suddenly popped out on the screen. yeah. ok. loser.

hil's out for her bio field trip and I'm the only one at home cos' my host family went out for the day. oh, but erm, it wasn't a smooth process. cos' the little one was fussing about everything, from his clothes, to er, his big brother touching his chair, (??) my goodness, if I had a kid like that, I'd leave him and just go out with the rest of the happy family. which is what my host family did, until the little one yelled and screamed and I think cried. while I was flipping through the wagamama book, I heard him screaming, 'I don't want to wear this, daddy!!' kids. stink. and the 2 boys I live with stink even more. they called their own mother their slave at the dinner table. and sometimes push her, pull her hair etc etc. I'm tempted to call in supernanny or wait till mary poppins drops on our roof with her brolly.

last tests for the term:
accounting : 78% - what a tragic way to end...
maths - C2 timed paper : 88%
- test period: 65%
econs: n/a. cos' I had my test yesterday. I'll let you know on tues. haha. bet it'll be worse than the first two. ;)

exams in a matter of weeks. *shudders* have been studying whenever I can at home, but I dunno... I'm still afraid.

and the old celine has resurrected. the one that skips her meals, I mean. been skipping lunch whenever I can. now now, it has it's benefits.
1) a good weight-loss regime :)
2) a good way to save money
3) it's just too darn packed in the refectory during lunch times
4) I've got too much work anyway

don't worry, I do eat b'fast and dinner still :) and I think it's a very generous portion. haha.

monday's bank holiday! and kenta has asked me to go to scream studios for the band rehearsal. even though I am geoff's possible successor aka the next band bassist, I know nuts about playing the bass. besides, I only played the guitar a few times when woman stayed at my place last year. but the band think with practice, I should be ok. more commitments??? just kidding. dad actually gave the green light to this one. I am surprised. am probably getting a second-hand bass. or maybe just use geoff's till I leave college. haha. am the only girl band member, so they'll have to stop pissing in the bins, spitting all over the place, and being total clowns. oops. shouldn't say that.
