In Motion

Today is your lucky day - because I'm about to post some pictures of my Institute taken yesterday during the Larian Mesra 1 Malaysia 2013 which my cohort organized. Behold the boys' block at 6.40a.m. Fork in the road with misty mountains and a lone lighted lamp post. How poetic. Nothing poetic about this. Jo and I were checkpoint officers (this was not our checkpoint teehee). Hope you had your fill of scenery today!

Over the past month, I have been flooded with references to marriage and relationships and future plans and going over to the States to see my boyfriend. All this only served to remind me of the sad reality of my relationship. I'm feeling upset because these are my best dating years, and I have to spend them Skyping or Google hangout-ing with my boyfriend. I want him nearby to be with me, to go places with me, to share life experiences together. And it saddens me that I will not have this for another good two or three more years - by which time I would have started working already. Then, things will be definitely be different with our commitment to our respective careers. I want to experience a dating life as a student, love with all my heart, and be loved in all the ways possible. Is this so unreasonable a request? I feel so happy when he's back home. So eager to see him at every opportunity and be his constant companion. I can hardly imagine dinner dates, movie dates ...

For CNY. Have loads of homework to do, though. So here goes. *downloads movies* Kidding. I really have to start on my homework, or else I'll be swamped when I get back. I'd REALLY love to start my holiday by doing something necessary but non-academic, but since the shops (and probably the library) are all closed, I guess I'll...have to do the academic stuff. * sigh * Now if you'll excuse me... *potters downstairs to do anything un-academic*

This is ODD. One of my favourite personality tests is the Myers-Briggs 16 type test. Back in secondary school, I used to be an ISFJ, then I morphed into an ESFJ for a short period of time. When I came to this college, I became an ISTJ (I still blame it on the fact that I had to be tough on people due to groupwork factors). Out of the four traits, my Introversion/Extroversion factor has always been somewhere in the 50-50 range. I myself, however, know that I'm DEFINITELY an introvert because while interaction with people is enjoyable to me, I need lots and lots of time to recharge, and I really like my alone time too. So I don't really understand why the ESTJ profile seems to suit me more, but it does. There are still certain discrepancies, but I think it's more because of the way I was raised. And of course, I AM more introverted, so yeah. After all, one can't expect to neatly box people up into 16 types. If you want to know me more, click HERE . If you want to ...

It's getting really really hot here. My throat feels perpetually dry and itchy and my post-nasal drip is on overdrive. Usually, sneezing a few times in a day means I'm coming down with something, and I've sneezed three times today. But considering the climate here, I think it's just the heat. Please just be the heat, I can't afford for it to be anything else, like a flu . Classes till 4 every day (even if they end at 4.30, most lecturers aren't keen on staying till THEN), kick-boxing practice for a performance from 8.30-10.30 almost every night. Homework has to be settled within the 4.5 hours between 4-8.30, a period of time in which lethargy takes precedence and I end up sleeping away at least an hour. Dinner takes half an hour, at least. That leaves me with 3 hours to date my homework, and probably not in the most enthusiastic way. Oh and I forgot to mention laundry. That takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on whether I use manual labou...
