exam fever

My study table

It's always this cluttered coz I figure, it's no point putting my books away if I have to use them frequently. When they're on the table, they're accessible.

on coffee

Three years ago, if you asked me to drink coffee, I would have taken a sip, made a face and told you it's too bitter to drink. Then I would have had a go at you for drinking stuff that's so bitter, it doesn't taste good.

I find it a bit ironic that now I absolutely love that tinge of bitterness in coffees. If a coffee's not bitter, then it's not real coffee.

I love the aroma of coffee beans and the smell that hits you when you walk into a coffee shop. Today, I indulged myself in Gloria Jean's white chocolate mocha.

I prefer Gloria Jean's to Starbucks coz their coffees are good and Starbucks is a bit too commercialised.

I am officially a coffee-drinker though not an obsessive coffee drinker. I can survive a day without a cup of coffee.

coo-ee!

Ever seen a pink pigeon before?

Well...now you have. Melbourne's got pink pigeons. It's a new breed that's just been discovered and the Victorian government's classified it as a rare and protected species. It was in the papers today, which was how I found out about them. Pretty neat, eh?


Priya's friend, Hans, who by the way is from Mauritius, (did you know that Mauritians speak French? Wicked!) said that I don't have a distinct accent. He couldn't pinpoint where I'm from by the way I speak. Interesting. Unlike Priya, who's got a pretty distinct Malaysian accent.



By the way...all that about the pink pigeons is bullshit.

If you believed all that about the pink pigeons being a new breed, then boy are you gullible. We're only getting pink fibreglass pigeons.

Another interesting fact about Mauritius: it has pink pigeons. real ones.

Google it if you don't believe me.

saya sepasang kasut

masih ingat tak?

hmm...that sounded a bit foreign considering i don't hear it very often, if at all now.

I feel for the poor kids who still have to do those karangans. The ones yang bertajuk "saya sebatang pen" atau "saya seekor burung" were relatively easy to write but looking back, I wonder why we were asked to write karangans on those topics.

I haven't forgotten how to write ok, i'm just a little rusty. The last time I actually wrote something in malay was...hmm...3 1/2 years ago.

We all used to start those karangans something like this:

Nama saya Adidas. Warna saya putih dan biru. Saya dilahirkan di sebuah kilang di negeri Thailand tiga tahun lalu. yada, yada, yada...

My favourite ending was:-

Pada suatu hari, tuan saya ternampak kasut model terbaru di kedai kasut dekat rumahnya. Kasut itu masih baru dan lebih cantik daripada saya. Oleh itu, tuan saya pun membeli kasut itu dengan gembira. Sejak hari itu, tuan saya tidak mempedulikan kewujudan saya. Akhirnya, saya dibuang kedalam sungai sampai tenggelam.

Itulah nasib saya sebagai sepasang kasut.

The End

I wonder why we didn't fail then coz technically, if you drowned, then you wouldn't be alive to tell the story, no?

Today, I learnt a few things.

1. Crossword puzzles take forever to do
2. Never tilt a wite-out bottle towards yourself if you're trying to see if its empty
3. Hot water works wonders on wite-out spillages*

*excludes spillages on pictures and documents.
