A breather At Last

Tonight I got through my Intermediate 3 class with Grade A! I'm so relieved! And I took pride in it too because although a lot of people got higher marks than me, I achieved mine mostly through my own hard work! We all 'discussed' during the exams, yes, and I did participated a bit, but I tried to rely on myself mostly and I was happy with the results!

I can't remember the last time I got 90 marks! And after everything ended, our class photo!
I always made it a point to wear white scarf or something light colored because I know it makes me stick out hehehehehehehe.

After that, we went to Starbucks to celebrate!





Wheee!

After that, even though Kurohime was parked inside KL Plaza, I didn't want to bring it home because Sam-san (the big guy in the back) agreed to drive me home!! Turned out four of us carpooled with him tonight, with sensei, Evion, and Jun-san in tow . His is a small peugeot but surprisingly all of us fit, though a little cramped. But it was fun! xD I havent been in a small car and had so much fun before hahahaha! Arigato Sam-san xD!

...Well of course, since my house was in the area, I was sent off first. I so wanted to see sensei's house before she moves again soon. Oh well. xD

I have to finish a report by tonight since I'm forced to hand it in one day earlier if I want to use the car. Stupid Indons.But what a lovely night this was! Jibun no Nihon-jin ga hoshi des!

Ta'ra!

The Weekend That Be

I think barfing is just like anal sex. It is unpleasant at first, but it gets better once you're used to it. Though I've never done the latter, the former is not a stranger to me.

Last Friday I flew home to Kuching to clean my room over the weekend. I even enlisted the help of my friend before I even confirmed my flight home. Yes, I was that determined to clean my room. I even got her a ten ringgit t-shirt while I was at it. Mind you, it was a nice ten ringgit t-shirt. Yes, I was that determined to clean my room.

I arrived just before noon and I slept the rest of the day till 7 pm when I was awoken by the prospect of a seafood dinner. My uncle also arrived in Kuching and promptly landed at our house. That night he had diarrhea and vomiting. He couldn't sleep till late. I thought "too bad" that is, until I actually got diarrhea myself the next day!

I didn't get it straight away. I was determined to clean my room you see, so I picked up my friend and we started clearing things. I started going to the toilet little by little and only had the biggest crap after lunch. I thought I would feel relieved afterwards but it only got worse! I was clearing the CD rack, sitting down, yet my whole body aches while my stomach broils with watery substance. Finally my friend suggested that I lie down on the bed. I did, and fell asleep.

During my nap, my friend took time off as well, browsing through my late works of arts and other short stories I, or one of my friends, had written (my bookshelf is a goldmine for such stories). I slept for approximately two hours. And when I woke up, expecting relief, I was greeted with a pounding headache. Dismayed I could only stare at the wall stupidly.

Now I have fever on top of diarrhea! GAAAAH!

There was no way I could even get out of the bed and help my friend help me clean my room! I told her I couldn't do anything, but we couldn't leave my room as it was either. So I laid there like a vegetable while she busted her ass cleaning my room. She is a very good girl, so I only did what I could - I praised her as she went along. Okay I did overexaggerate a little, but it doesn't mean I don't mean them. Though she did reply sarcastically that she believed me. Hmmmm.

When I was mumbling she told me to shut up. When I shut up she worried that I got too sick. So what am I supposed to do anyway!? When she was almost done with my room, and she's awesome since her nose is not impervious to dust like mine, I finally found the energy to remove myself from the bed and find some medicine.

I have never seen someone so dusty! - And my room so clean! xD

That night I was supposed to go out drinking with Totchi but I had to cancel since I was too sick to leave the house. Totchi is awesome too. It was really out of a whim that I asked her to take away Bing's smoothie for me and come pick up her hairband when she comes over. I wasn't expecting her to agree, really, but I really wanted the smoothie despite my condition and she seemed bored enough to do anything out of the ordinary. Totchi came later that night, bearing smoothie and prezzie.

Thanks again for the smoothie xD. Did I tell you you were awesome?

Despite it being an eventful day, I had trouble sleeping that night. One was because my body was torn between two condition, and two because I forgot to close my window and the alarm has already been set. My diarrhea likes the heat, but my fever craves the cold. At first I slept without the aircond on since my window is open. But I kept waking up in the middle of the night, hot and restless and with a pounding head. So I just decided "to hell with that!" and turned on the aircond anyway. Yes, the window was open. I know.

I woke up several times that morning, but only managed the motivation to move a little after noon. After which I gobbled down some satays just to fill my stomach before I take medicine again. My stomach does not feel diarrhea anymore, but it still aches, either from lack of food or something else, I don't know. But I was strong enough afterwards to tutor my cousin English. Usually it's my sister but she asked me to guest tutor the day before, but I was being a vegetable (she does tutoring Saturday and Sunday). So I tutored her about topic sentences. Her essays have a lot of ideas, but lacked grammar. She can work on her grammar with my sister, so I decided to focus on her strenghts; organising her ideas. The second part of tutoring was spent talking in English. It was something that she had never done before. I don't believe her teacher had bothered much about it at school, so I hope by talking about things she likes, in English, it would build up her confidence. I was glad to see towards the end of the lesson that she was talking more enthusiastically and was trying hard to find the right words to express her opinions xD.

I'm a great tutor.

I should do this more often. Hehe.

Ta'ra!

p/s Watashiwa-san, I am verily looking forward to cheese.

Philosophy!

To commomerate my 100th post in blogger, I have came up with a new philosophy in life:

"Great people do not need to be understood. They just need to be admired!"

And so I do not need your understanding! Just admiration. Now admire me!

Ta'ra!

Thanks but no thanks!

To all the other groups doing this same report: Thank you for letting me read your copy paste report. They are more helpful than if you had done it from scratch. And I hope you fail miserably in your assignment.

That's all.

People Cannot Write

I just went through several of the industry reports the other groups did and came to one conclusion: These people cannot write. I mean, some of them even replaced the introduction by the executive summary!! And some people just don't know how to ask for favors at all. If you want other people to give you their report, YOU must offer up yours FIRST!!

That kind of stupidity is what made me avert from replying to their suggestions of this and that. Because they were just lip service because they themselves have no idea what to write in the next industry summary. I hope I taught them something when I myself fired an email asking them to answer only ONE question, to which I answered myself (even included a word count) so they know how to go about answering it, however long or short. I hope to receive at least some satisfactory reply. If not I'm going ahead with my own report.

I'm going home next weekend to clean my room. I can't stay long because I have class Monday night and my Japanese class only gets more and more complicated. I cannot miss anymore classes!

Ta'ra!

p/s Totchi: I needed to include your name somewhere in the post so I could use the 'totchi' tag just for the heck of it. You should be honored.

Watashiwa-san: Fabric business is going slowly, but it's only expected, since I'm not there to peddle it! But just another bump on the road as I ride my bandwagon. And yes, aren't I awesome? Hehehehe

I'm Awesome

I am awesome! I just did the part of four people on our report! Unfair, of course, but I'd rather that than have them handle it. They've been trying to sabotage this report since the beginning and even wanted to submit it the same morning it's due for submission! Idiots! They have no idea how determined I am! This is great, since whatever little work they've spent either worrying or actually working on it would be in vain. And I like nothing better than other people's work go useless because of their own stupidity. I have been cleaning after people's mess so many times it feels awesome when people mess themselves up!

Since I am on this path to greatness, I will not complain. Great people see things differently. Everything is a challenge and behind every challenge is an opportunity and behind every opportunity lies greatness. Yes, I just made it up, but it's still true nonetheless. My dad was surprised that I know that Tiger Woods had changed his swing three times. Of course I knew that. Tiger Woods is one of those great people who achieved world class status. His is a life worth paying attention to. Other people I pay attention to is Bill Gates, Michael Dell and Sam Walton. I don't care what people say about Trump. Michael Dell's net worth would enable him to buy 6 or 7 Trumps! Which easily makes Trump just one of many. And what's the point in being one of many?

Greatness. World Class. I think it's a goal worth pursuing don't you think?

Ta'ra!

PS. Hello Totchi.

I'm Freaking Unhappy

My exams had just ended and I still have to hand in a report and presentation. I just heard back from Caroline that the tambis are asking about the report. Funny they would ask since they explicitly told me that they are dropping out. Hm. Just goes to show, you can't believe what tambis tell you.

Why won't they come to me directly huh?

Whatever the outcome is, I'm keeping a tight grip on this project. *glares*

It's really a pity, but I did a post on my aim to achieve greatness and it got error'd. And I was sharing the secret to greatness too. Basically, there's no substitute to hard work and to become world class ala Tiger Woods, there's a Ten Year Rule that applies. For further information, google 'How to be Great'.

Since I don't have classes to attend other than my Nihongo and the occasional classes that Ii wish to attend, I have only my thesis and project paper to concentrate on. Now that I think about it, that seemed like more work than my previous semester. Bbut no matter. I hate the constraints of regular classes.

But it's the holiday at the moment and I really should enjoy more. Maybe it's time for that island holiday.

Ta'ra!
