STREET

December has always been a special month for me since my father and I were born in this month. Being a December baby has always makes me feel younger than the rest of my friends. They turned 22 when I was still in my 21 and that affects my psychology in a funny way. It makes me feel that I can achieve more in my life, in terms of studies and relationships. If I graduate in June 2014, I will be 23.6 years old. Phew, to graduate when I turn 23 is a big deal, trust me. That means I have another 6 months to accomplish other goals such as applying geology to the real world (WORK!) and maybe, travel to Iceland; all of that before I turn 24.

To celebrate my favorite month, I will upload a picture every day to remind me of the things, be it just a pencil, the clouds, my cats or even a speck of mineral, that I hold dear to my heart. 

So photo uno numero, on 10th December 2012 (my birthday):

Under Tommy is a newspaper. He and Darcy sometimes snuggle, with the newspaper underlying them.
Tag: under

Tommy, he drives me crazy every single day when he decides to wait in front of the door and meows his heart out because outdoor is surprisingly more exciting than playing in the shower. But I still love him.

When you miss home and the closest ones, it's good to sometimes take a break and think about the good memories you had.

DAWN

It won't hit you until it actually happens. This is exactly happening to me as countdown to Ahnaf's departure is nearing. I generally suck at containing my sad emotion and you can tell it from my face that the day could be one of the worst days in life.

To console myself from the sadness, I need to get myself occupy with schools and other relevant stuff. It will be boring without him. PLAIN BORING.

Do you have any ideas on how to keep up with the upcoming boredom cause seriously, I will be needing one, or maybe two, or maybe simply more.

Cheers!

ONLINE

Successfully bought 3 pieces of blouse from POPLOOK and they had it delivered from Malaysia to Canada. It took only 10 days for my new clothes to arrive. I'm really satisfied with their service and I will definitely get more clothes from them. The price is reasonable, the delivery charges are quite cheap (taxes etc) and I'm so happy that everything turned out to be great.

I'm always skeptical when buying things online because if things do go wrong for example, wrong size, delivery doesn't reach on time or worse, it doesn't reach your place at all, I will have the hardest time ever to get refund etc.

DEBATE

As a Geology student, I had been given with the opportunities to go to many places under the tag-line field education. I must say that these were many of my best memories and I didn't ever imagined to reach those places, let alone to learn about 'em in my lifetime. But, I had been there. And would never trade the memories with anything, because they were just awesome.

2012-SW USA
2013-Possibly New Zealand

I feel obligated to share about my experiences as a student and a tourist (at the same time). But writing is never an expertise of mine. It is always hard to pour my thoughts and feelings about the trips but I will hopefully do it, when I have ample time to just sit and upload all the good pictures from my Facebook with little elaboration alongside them. If you're reading this, you might be an engineering or a medical student; me, being different than most of my friends will be more than happy to share my life as a Geology student.

Hopefully, this will be consistent.

Cheers to regular update.

VINYL

Waking up to the sound of Tommy is a normal, typical day for me. Life gets extra special if he decides to sleep or play in the morning without having to wake me up with the sound of his ever catty voice.

It gets so annoying when he stands on the shelf, meowing for the reflections to come down when he sees one at 4 in the morning. Sometimes, it gets to my nerve that it makes me one to punch him, if he's a human.

To Tommy, mummy loves you so much but, HOLY SHIZ! Slow down on the meowing at 4am crazy cat!

MIB

I left my blog for quite a while ever since I went back to Malaysia for summer break. It was clearly a fun summer although I wish I had more time at home, just lazying around with family and friends. But the thought of Ahnaf being alone in TO while I got to have fun had me feeling sad. Since coming back, I am swamped with works, my responsibilities in the UGA and MASAT and looking for possible internship placements. I had been planning to get a job here but hey, with many friends are getting married next year, might as well kill two birds with a stone. Weddings and job... Perfect!

So a toast to a great school year ahead!
