  • Busy in mind

    Tomorrow, I have like 3 assignments to submit so I was feeling too stressed these days. Yesterday morning, it was a holiday since it was the king's birthday or something here and dad got a day off. Even me. So mom, dad & I went out. On the way, dad got a call from his boss. So we had to go back while dad was in his office talking with his boss.

    I thought it wouldn't take long so I waited there. It took almost 3 hours. Mom was busy chatting with dad's colleagues who were on duty that day. I was so bored, twisting and turning in the chair. 

    All that time, I was thinking if only I were home, I can finish that assignment or workout. Anything was better than sitting and playing games on my mobile. 

    Finally we left and went for lunch around 3 P.M, then did some shopping. When I got home, it was 7 P.M. already so I worked out for like an hour. I already missed the workout the day before so I couldn't miss it yesterday. Oh yeah, these days I'm too into working out like I feel really bad if I miss a day. I do have one day off every week but sometimes things come up and I have to skip it. Did I already say that I've lost 7lbs since December? My new year resolution was to lose 2lbs a month so I have been living up to that resolution, I guess. Only a pound more for this month. It's not much but it's progress, right? 

    Ok, I was going off topic. What I wanted to say was that after the workout, I took a shower and when I started to work on my assignment, it was already 9:30. 

    I somehow managed to finish 2 assignments in 3 hours. But I still felt like I needed to edit more. But I went to bed since I had an early class in the morning. 

    When I got back home today, I was like resting on the couch watching TV. Then my mom said let's go to Sogo. It's like one of our favorites places to shop here. They always have huge sales there. So I couldn't resist it. But I still had one more assignment to do. I started working on it right away and sent it to my project manager. 

    After that, I got ready and we left for shopping! I told myself that I'd work out when I get back home. 

    But of course, after shopping, we got hungry and had dinner outside so when I got home, I was feeling stuffed and even had to take some digestion pills. Hehe 

    Working out was crossed out so I opened my laptop to do my assignment and I realized that I didn't have anything to do. 

    I do have some work to submit on Monday but I still have the weekend. So I was like stressing out for no reason. I told my friend I was busy and she was free so I envied her. But she said that I appeared freer than she did. silly

    Maybe I was only busy in my mind. 

    A photo I took of myself while I was bored out & about... laughing

  • Pre-celebration of Thingyan

    Yesterday, we had like an event at the Myanmar Embassy to celebrate "Thingyan" our new year but it's not officially Thingyan yet. We still have like 2 more days to go.

    This is me, waiting in dad's office for others to arrive.

    I was uneasy about the whole thing as all the people from the embassy would be there and I'm not really good at social gatherings. I'm like awkward at these things. It's worse now since my sister went back and I won't have anyone to talk to. 

    It wasn't that bad as it turned out, I guess. We made those traditional food called 'mont-lone-yay-paw' together. It literally means round food floating on water :D We mixed glutinous flour and rice flour to make the outer round part and put in jaggery cubes to make it sweet.

    These are called jaggery. They are awfully sweet. 

    I wanted to take pictures of us making the food but my hands were a mess. Even though we made so many, I only got to taste one. hmph. 

    This is an example of the food. laughing

    We also had other traditional foods like 'Shwe Yin Aye' and 'Mote Hin Gar' and people were getti I wasn't feeling hungry as usual when I'm with a lot people. Maybe it's some kind of a psychological discomfort :P I tend to eat less with people I don't know well. My appetite just disappears. No wonder I don't like hanging out in social gatherings. :P I wanna be able to eat when I want to! 

    Anyway, it was fun at some points. I played with water for the first time in 3 years? I don't remember. 

    Here are some pictures of our small water festival. 

    And look what the cat dragged in silly I guess a cat can't really drag 'me' in anywhere. It's me after all the water being splashed, drenched and hosed down with water whatevah

    I was tired when I got home even though I didn't really do anything much except for playing with water for a wihle. Others were like singing karaoke and dancing while I was feeling awkward and didn't know where to go.

    I should join in next time and try to have more fun.

  • Problem with specs

    I noticed that Malaysians call glasses 'specs' :D but we call them glasses mostly. Just saying.

    I got my new frames like weeks ago. My mom went back to Yangon and I asked her to buy the frames for me. I was so excited about wearing them.

    Last week, I went to the eye clinic (is that what it's called?) to get the lens and get my eyes checked. 

    Turns out my power increased and now both sides are -2.00 with left side -0.25 Cyl! I was like oh no!!!

    Then I got my frames with the new lens yesterday. When I tried them on, they were a bit loose so I asked the guy to fix them and he did.

    When I got home, I realized that the frames aren't the reason my glasses keep sliding off my nose. It's my nose bridge! It's not high enough -_-'

    But my mom insists that the frames are loose. Anyway, that's not the only problem. My left eye started aching just now. So I took off the glasses and mom suggested to try the old ones but because of the lens power difference I didn't want to. 

    I ended up putting the old ones on, and the aching stopped. Maybe it's all in my mind. I don't know what to do. The new ones do make the vision clearer. Only, they're not comfortable. 

    Sheesh.

    Those are my new frames! Sigh..

  • Pixlr-o-matic

    Ever since I installed that app "pixlr-o-matic" in chrome, I can't stop playing with it. I love how easy it is to edit photos using that app.

    I dragged out some of the old photos I shot and I've been editing them. 

    And now I decided to share some of them here. shy

    This is the first one I edited. I took this picture from my parent's bedroom window :D 

    I took this picture because I liked how the clouds looked that day. Not that visible here though.

    This is nothing special. I just like the raindrops. pleased Took this picture from a car. 

    Ahh, my precious books heart

    The ride from Sunway Lagoon!

  • It's been a while

    Finally, it's over! I've been busy with this project called "Healthy Lifestyle Campaign" at college. It was a success to a certain extent hehehe.

    But I never want to get involve with these things again! It's so time-consuming. I couldn't have my meals regularly. 

    I was so hungry yesterday at lunch but we had to wait for our shifts and stuff, that when I finally went for lunch, I wasn't that hungry anymore.

    But I still ate kway-teow anyway. It was a bad move. Right before I went home, around 5 p.m. my stomach started acting funny. 

    I started feeling sick and even considered going to the LRT washrooms to throw up but I didn't. When I got home, I had to run to the toilet. 

    I vomited like 5 times before I finally went to the doctor. I was so dizzy and couldn't eat anything. 

    At the check-in counter, before I could fill in my info, I had to run to the washroom again. It was horrible! 

    The doc gave me a shot and when I got home, it was almost 10 p.m. 

    My mom told me not to go the next day for the event but it was the last day. When I woke up, I was feeling better so I went anyway.

    On my way, it was like 8:30 a.m. and as usual so many people were there at the LRT shoving and pushing. 

    It was so crowded that I couldn't go inside and at KLCC station, I had to step out to give way for people that I slipped and my right leg went inside the gap between the platform and the train. I was so afraid that the train would go and I'd lose my leg!!!

    Of course, I didn't. 

    I pulled out my leg immediately. Thank god it didn't get stuck or whatever. I still can't believe my leg can fit inside that tiny gap. 

    Things haven't been going my way lately, maybe I should start praying again or something. :P
