Thanks to Huang Xiao, I've managed to complete watching the final season of Prison Break. I don't think there will be anymore Prison Break after watching the last episode.
I'm glad to say that I am happy with the ending however had to cry at the end because it's just so sad. Then just to keep myself satisfied I watched the last 15 minutes of the episode again.
So there's not much excitement going on this weekend coz GP continues at Istanbul next weekend. Everton scored a goal in the first minute and I don't think Chelsea has scored any yet.
I can hardly wait for that day to come where I will finally feel free and have that freedom feeling and all the unnecessary stress coming from this horrid and unsatisfying job. What the hell is an honours student doing sitting at the reception counter receiving customers. I'm not being complacent...just being realistic and I know that there's bigger things for me out there and it starts July. For now I'm looking forward to 19 June.

I was just reading around, jumping from one page to another and then I came across a sentence that provoked me to write this.
“Blissfully in love”I had mixed feelings when I came across this. I was probably rolling my eyes, feeling agitated, longing for the time when I could finally say that and feeling lost all at the same time.
So when does someone knows that they are blissfully in love? Is it written all over their face? Was it a glow on their face so bright that strangers won’t be able to miss it? Was it a smile permanently intact it’s so hard to miss? Or was it the serene aura emitting form within them you could just sense it immediately?
What is it???

Written at 1015AM, 25/5/09. (Posted only much later because I have no access)
It’s a bore…really! This office, this place…seems like it’s not making sense anymore. I thought that pictures pasted on the wall in front of me (pics of my sister and I in Cappadocia and Pamukkale, Joan and me at Sepang, an A4 size poster of Fernando Alonso, an autographed picture from Fernando Alonso and an A4 size poster of Kimi Raikonnen) would evidently wash away the boredom I have in this so boring office. No one is around at the moment. I’m alone coz all those colleagues of mine have time in their hands to go for a half hour breakfast! It’s 10+ for goodness sake. I guess they are lucky to be able to do that. They are sales staff they can do anything they want.
I miss the comfort of having Susan and Huang Xiao around in the office so that I have someone to talk to. Even Jean is not around anymore having to shift to the other side of the wall. My current buddy and I don’t really talk to each other because we have nothing to talk about.
People are leaving the bank and I’ve been waiting for my turn since at least July/August 2008. Only Allah have the answer to this question: when is my turn?
I’ve pondered and wondered and questioned, sitting here alone with not much to do…just routine work and I pray that it won’t drive me insane. I’ve got to keep my feet firmly on the ground and just be patient with this environment and these people who are driving me nuts 80% of my time in the office.
I’m seeking solace in this quietness…this “it’s-only-me-in-the-office-there’s-absolutely-no-one-else”…so I began writing again and thinking too…just to keep me sane and mentally healthy.
I’m glad I have Yanping and Atiqa who could email me once in a while and make me believe that there is something else I can live for: friends and family. And maybe I should also add 2 more ‘F’s into there: football and Formula 1 because that’s all I read about when I get bored especially F1…sigh.
I'm looking forward to swimming later after work. Can hardly wait!

I finished reading "Jinx" from Meg Cabot and had to roll my eyes at the end of it. Such love stories blinds people from the reality of life. Having said that, this is a teenage fiction and I've moved past that by stopping with Princess Diaries. I read this book because it's been quite a while since I last lie on my bed and read a book.
Girl has a crush on guy and guy loves girl at first sight. Girl is so clueless about the guy's feelings for her prolly coz she is in denial that such a hottie would fall for her and in the end they kiss after telling each other how they feel.
If only life is that sugary sweet!
I think it's time for me to head to the library and get some adult fiction.

I just came back from swimming 30 minutes ago and am feeling a little sleepy. I went with Nur and we decided to make it a once a week affair. It'll definitely help in my asthma. Just 20 minutes in the water and I was feeling quite breathless and had to call it quits. I'm sure if I keep up I'll manage at least 45 minutes. That's my aim for now.
I want to stay awake because the Survivor Tocantins final is at 11PM. I guess its gonna be a 2 hour finale which mean I wont be sleeping till 1AM??!! Yikes...looks like I'm gonna have a hard time waking up for work tomorrow.

I;m listening to a CD I bought from UrbanWrite and am loving it. It's Putumayo music and it present Music from the Wine Lands...so there's French, Spanish, Latino, German and everything else except English. I first heard it when Effa and I was in UrbanWrite and they were playing one of the CDs and I was telling Effa that I feel like I was in another country, sitting in their cafe and sipping exotic coffee and speaking in their native language. I would probably buy one more next month when I get my pay. It made me want to go Europe so much more and it means that I have to save hard and smart.
I'll start soon!

I was feeling kinda tired a just a lil lazy but I got up any way since ayah say he would come along with me. We went jogging for like 20 minutes and then called Nur up to join us for badminton. It's been so long since we last play and my right arm is just a litte sore but it's all fine.
Feels good to sweat a little and I hope I'm able to keep myself fit as long as I can. If I keep on motivating myself I'm sure I can do it.
The family and I will be going to Hajah Maimunah for lunch and it's been quite a while since I last go there. But rice has been a no for me for so long and I'm still gonna keep it that way. I;m skipping rice later...just eating the dishes. I'm sure I can survive with just meat...I'm taking carbohydrates in the form of vegetables. That way I don't have to burn as much calories as when I eat rice.
Speaking of, I think I ought to buy this month's Shape magazine. I'm switching to Shape from CLEO...which is difficult coz I've been reading CLEO religiously for 2 years due to my subscription. I've stopped because mum told me to. She say it's a waste of money. Oh well, just have to live with it!

From now until season 09/10 that team who just won the EPL shall be banned from being mention in my blog. I hate each and everyone of them with the manager on top of the list followed by a certain player with the initials CR.
Seeing them celebrate seemed to seeth me with anger and frustration so I am so inspired to write this entry.
I'm just frustrated that there's just nothing nice to say so it's safer if I just leave it for now.

This day finally comes and I was excited and nervous at the same time. I waited one year for it! My last paper was back in May 2008. Got the final results in July 2008 and finally the convocation in May 2009.
I was surprised to bump into John who was in intake 31 and it's nice to see a familliar face around coz not all of my classmates attended the ceremony. I'll post some pictures here.
more here:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=63875&id=525319158&l=10e22ff0d4I think that the convocation was one of the happiest days in my life. I think I was smiling a lot to the point that I did not realise I was smiling a lot...does that even make sense?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both my parents for being there for me when I need them because without them, I won't be the person I am today. To both my sisters for being patient with all my not so good behaviour. I might have screaming at you gals when I was stress.
Thank you...there's nothing else I could say...

Marina and I had planned for this approximately 3 weeks before the trip. A week after I came back from Sepang she proposed the idea of heading to Batam for a few days just to get away from chaotic Singapore and that was quite an idea. All I did in Batam was massages, a realxing day in the hotel (absolutely no rush at all); take my time having breakfast, go to the gym, a long dip in the pool and dinners in front of the TV!!!
The first massage we had was at this place. Just $30 for a 90 minutes Javanese massage..heaven!!!
After the massage
After gym
Taking our time during breakfast
We had a nice fresh seafood lunch which was way awesome!
The hotel was great. Four star and we felt like a million bucks with the excellent service.
View of the hotel's pool from 10th floor. That's where we were...at the highest floor.

At the lobby on the last day before we depart back to Singapore

I'm getting so bored at home that I started to take random pictures...random but meaningful. But first here's a pic of Aishah and me when we attended a wedding at Tampines yesterday. This wide-eyed girl is so playful.
So I was lying down on my bed thinking about how quite dull it is that there's be no race this weekend. The next race will be in Barcelone, May 10th (that's Mother's Day just in case you don't know). Then I spotted two FREE souvnirs in my room and it reminded me of Sepang and I miss Sepang eventhough the race was suspended.
The left side of the picture is the brilliant poster featuring Sauber BMW coz Petronas is their co-sponsor and the right hand side of the picture is the Petronas flag that one of the grid girls was giving away.
Then I looked at the calendar that Effa had bought months ago where we had to decorate coz its totally DIY and I flipped to July, coz I was the one who designed it and it's simply spectacular coz Fernando Alonso is in it plus, no one knows how painful it was to stick hole punched newspaper bits ONE BY ONE.
Take a closer look and you'll see this:
It's simply because Alonso has the same birthday as mine and Hanis, my cousin also shares the same birthday as us (notice that I said 'us' as if we're like a couple.I can dream!).
So I'll have to wait for one more week until the Spanish GP but for now I'll get excited about my trip to Batam with Marina. Look forward to getting away from everything in Singapore and just get away from it all.

Watching Wolverine had me receiving X-Men lessons from Yanping. I didn't read the comics and I didn't watch the cartoons. There were so many characters it's a little hard to catch up.
There's Agent Zero, a teenage Cyclops, Gambit, Deadpool and just so many more names that I can't spell.
If you have not watch it, you have to. It's just simply awesome and beyond describable.
