You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What Temperment Are You?

Huh. Ain't that the truth.

Muse and Monash!

The Muse concert was damn good! Even though I didn't know some songs, it was still one of the best concerts I've ever been to!

And they sound exactly like their albums. The falsettos and weird voices were all there. Damn nice!

And we basically got one of the best seats in the place! hahahaha.

See, the place marked with the red circle was where we were supposed to be:



And we thought there was gonna be like a barrier or something between us and the people in the pit. But take a look at this picture:



Sorry if the picture isn't clear, but look at the place that I circled. The red tape was basically what was dividing us, the cheaper tickets holder, with the people in the pit. So well, with such a flimsy barrier between us and the stage, is it any surprise that when everyone in the pit stood up, everyone in the Rock Zone rushed to the front and actually got nearer to the stage than those of them who actually paid RM233 for their tickets?

So basically, I got to be in the pit for MUSE'S concert by just paying RM80!!!! Was I lucky or what?

I couldn't upload my pictures onto the computer, but here's one picture:


Quite close, right? I couldn't go in front because all these idiotic head-bangers were pushing everyone to the side and I almost fell so I moved a bit further back to actually get some breathing space. I hate head-bangers. They get so into the songs that they forget that other people are there. Grrrr.

Ohhhh, classes started already!!! I am so happy that I'm actually doing something right now!

And guess what?

I was like 5 minutes late for my lecture! *Gasps*

PLUS, I drove like 120 km/h to get to class! *Double gasps*

I never drive like super-fast, okay? And here I was, doing 120 on an 80 km/h highway because I was worried that I might be late for my first lecture. Hehehe.

Muse's concert is tomorrow! Can't wait!!!!

Dah la the tickets are sold out! Sure damn packed tomorrow! Lucky I bought my ticket early!!!

I've finished watching Heroes until Episode 16!!! Which means that right now I'm on par with the US audience! Muahahahahahaha!

Sorry, I'm a bit giddy today! I can't wait to start classes. I am sick of staying at home.

Oh my God, Thursday was one of the worst days that I've had this year! The Streamyx wasn't working and we had no water supply from morning until night! We paid the bills, okay? It was just that they were doing some maintenance work and the water to our whole neighbourhood got disrupted. Pathetic. We couldn't even wash dishes that day. And the reason for the Streamyx breaking down? God knows. Streamyx just hates us.

Oh yeah, by the way, my weight is still the same. Haven't lost any, haven't gained any. Sad.

I checked out my timetable from Monash since we can now adjust our classes already and check out my timetable for the next semester:



I cropped out some parts because otherwise the picture would be too big. It's still big but anyways, nice timetable, right? I finish like at 12 or 2!!!! And I have Fridays off!!!! Yay me!!! I don't care much about having classes at 8 in the morning, because it's much better to have lectures in the morning rather than afternoons. And it's so much better to just get it over and done with. I feel like a school kid again! Can't wait to start classes!

Oh, I am now sooooo addicted to Heroes! My dad asked my uncle to buy an external hard disk because it's so much better to store pictures and stuff, so my uncle bought a 160GB external hard disk. And since he knows that I liked to watch Heroes, and since he also watches the series, he downloaded Episode 1 until 15 into the hard disk. I've watched until Episode 9 already, and after this I'm going to watch the rest. Heroes is soooo addictive. But it's also quite a dark series. Anis and I are like "Must watch, must watch, must watch....." Thank God for external hard disks!!!!

I'm going off to watch Heroes now! Toodles!

My (Late) New year's Resolution/ Birthday Wish

I'm fat.

I mean, no matter what people say, I know I'm fat. I've always been the fat one. I'm used to it.

Doesn't mean I like it, though.

So since my birthday is like 40+ days away, I was thinking about giving myself the perfect birthday gift. And to actually keep a New Year's Resolution.

My birthday wish is to lose 5 kg by April 4th (my birthday).

I actually wanted to lose 10 kg, but losing 5 kg is more realistic in 40-something days time. In fact, when I told my dad about it, he was like "I'll be happy if I manage to lose 4 kg!"

So yeah, my weight right now is 69 kg, and I wish to be 64 or 65 kg by April 4th. Still fat, but not so much.

To make sure that I actually do lose weight, I'm going to post my weekly progress on the blog.

So now basically the whole world will know how much I weigh. Sigh.

At least I know that I'll be able to watch my weight.

Wish me luck! :D

Valentine's blues

Tomorrow's Valentine's Day.

Whoopee.

For someone like me, who's single and tak pernah got anything for Valentine's Day, it's quite annoying to see people (girls, especially) showing off the flowers and gifts that they got during Valentine's.

I bet tomorrow would be no different for them and for me.

Dah la just now during orientation, this one super-perky (who's perkiness almost exceeds Zara's teachers perkiness) Buddy, who basically are seniors who have been appointed to "babysit" us during orientation, asked me what I'll be doing tomorrow.

I was blur for like two seconds, and when I caught what she meant, I said, "Ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm". Let her come to her own conclusions.

Again I say, Whoopee.

But seriously, why is this one day more special than the other 364 days in the year? What, it's the day to make us singletons feel sorry for ourselves, is it?

I'm gonna go into a corner and wallow now.

Is age really nothing but a number?

It's February already and I don't think I'm alone when I say that time's moving really fast nowadays. It's quite disturbing.

And you know something is not right when a girl who's turning 19 this year (yours truly), got super excited when Hercules was shown on Disney Channel, while the 10-year-old and 9-year-old girls only got mildly excited.

Oh, and I still want to watch Beauty and the Beast, my favourite Disney movie of all time. If only I can buy the VCD.

Oh, by the way, according to timeanddate.com, my birthday is in approximately 54 days time! Or 1296 hours. Or 77760 minutes. Or 4,665,000 seconds. Hehe.

Since my 19th birthday is coming soon, and since I'm starting university next week, I know I am expected to act more....adult-like. I'm expected to be more independent, more responsible, more matured and well, basically be less childlike. But that's the thing. As much as I like being an adult, I'm still not ready to let my childhood go.

I still like watching cartoons. Sometimes when I go to playgrounds with my siblings or cousins or friends, I still love going on the swings. And I can't help being envious with my youngest sister, Zara. She looks forward to Wednesdays, because it's the day when she has computer classes. And she gets to play games on the computer. Suddenly, I was reminded of the time when I was in A-Levels last year. On Wednesdays, I got to use the computer, too! But instead of playing games, I had to come up with a programme using Visual Basic. Whoopee me.

On the other hand, I love the freedom that I get from being a "young adult". As I'm getting older, I'm becoming more dependent on myself and less dependent on my parents, and thus, relieving their burden on raising me. I have the freedom of going everywhere without having to rely on my parents so much. And I've also come to appreciate my parents hard work in raising the six of us more now that I understand that money don't grow on trees (well, technically, they do. I mean, the paper to make notes come from trees, right? But you know what I mean...)

The thing is, if age is nothing but a number, then why do we make such a fuss over our age? Like almost all of my friends are turning 20 this year and they're like freaking out because they're not ready to be 2o, not ready to leave their teen years behind to become, supposedly, full-fledged adults. And here I am, worrying about turning 19. Hahaha.

I remembered complaining to my dad about turning 19 about 2 months ago, and my dad, who is 45, said to me, "Alia, one of my ex-classmate from MCKK just had a wedding for his daughter and my friends and I thought, 'Damn, we're too young to be grandfathers'". I can now see where I got the phobia of aging from.

And Anis isn't helping. Everytime I complained to her about turning 19, she goes, "Kak Ya's old, Kak Ya's old".

If age is nothing but a number, why is it that someone's 16th and 21st birthday is deemed the two most important birthdays? And whoever said that 18 was an appropriate age to get married? (I've had people asking me whether I'm engaged or not, okay! Total creepiness!!!)

I guess I just felt like blogging about age because Tisha and I were talking about how we were going to survive if we had to go to Australia alone, with no family and no close friends. Adults wouldn't mind so much, but big kids like us are quite terrified of being left alone in a strange country. Even though we actually DO want to be treated like adults.

I feel like I'm contradicting myself. What a weird notion.

Oh yeah, I was singing to this song on Hercules just now:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I'm annoyed..........

God help me!!!!

Although it's not confirmed yet, I've just found out that most probably, I'll be having an 8 o'clock lecture on Monday for Business Statistics. Urgh. It's either that or a lecture at 4 o'clock on Tuesday, which is worse. I am so hating the timetable.

Roar.

Too lazy to write a long post. Want to sleep.

PS: Found out that the Hitz.fm crew managed to collect almost 5 tonnes of stuff at La Bodega the other day!!! Congrats to them.
