The night before..

10 more days..  I'm counting down the days left to see my little munchkin! :)

Tomorrow is Day One of my Master Cleanse. I have all the ingredients ready and i am good to go. I've taken measurements of myself for the 'before' and 'after' too. Wish me luck!

I've got my last exam on Thursday and then school closes (hallelujah!). January exam timetable's out (starting 10th Jan.) and results for my Viva and other exams will be available on Blackboard this week. *wringing fingers*

Anywaaaaay, I have to run now. Hope everyone's doing great and having a great time Christmas shopping. :)

Bless!

Knight evacuation plan.

1. Cut off all communication (Phone calls, skype, BBM)
2. Destroy the evidence (chats, photos etc)
3. Erase the memories
4. Move on

Simple!

Well, Numbers 3 and 4 might not be as easy as they were to write, but they can be done. It's the weekend babay!! Don't ask about my Immunology exam. I wouldn't answer. Let's just say it steals the "worst exam ever" title from Reproductive Biology. No joke. No need to say that i'm not looking forward to seeing the results.

Otherwise, i'm.. okay. Don't read too much into it. I'm just exhausted, been cleaning and doing laundry all day. Really, really exhausted actually. Have to run!

Have an awesome weekend.

Graduation,

Graduation!

I went for Jerry's graduation yesterday! It was amazing. I was so full of pride and maybe a teeny bit envious. He's now done with his Master's and about to embark on the rest of his life. Oh *sigh!*

Whenever i think of graduation speeches, i think of Elle Woods' (Legally Blonde). It wasn't the best or even the most eloquently put speech I've ever heard or read but somehow it moves me. it works for me. During the ceremony yesterday, there was a speech given by the Student body President that had the crowd hooked. He spoke about sleepless nights, missed meals and practically living in the library (there was a lot of howling and groaning at that).. :)
.. But also he spoke about how the world was changing. Technology is making our world one, as in, the borders between the continents are not as vast as they once were. He painted an image. He imagined that if every one person in the world could make a positive impact, just one, on the global community we would create a masterpiece. At the end of the speech i (and a whole others) were on our feet, clapping for the simply motivational and well-intentioned speech.

It made me think of my own education and the probable six years i still had ahead of me. I do not look upon them with dread anymore. Nah, I am quite looking forward to making the best of them now! To the day when i too will wear that black gown (that will probably be too long for my small stature) and the cap (that probably wont sit still on my head) while i walked up to that podium (a nervous wreck) to collect half my life's work (a sheet of paper).

May we live to see the day! :)

Best things about 2011.. so far!

December 05, 2011 J. 0 Comments

The year is coming to an end. November went by really fast. Hell, the whole year went by fast. Wasn't it just yesterday that 2011 started? That i was nervous about my first day back in Uni?

Before the year runs out completely though, I want to take a moment out to be thankful for all my little joys! Here's a list of some of my favorite things about 2011:

1. Ron Pope - Where has he been all my life? I only just found him last month. And, I. Love. Him. Whether i'm walking to school, cooking or trying to sleep, his voice eases the process. The New England Sessions is definitely my favorite album though.

Girls will always be girls!

Jasmeen.. Cordon Bleu?

Yes, you had better believe it! My cooking skills have surpassed that of the average man (or woman). I should be made head chef in some exotic restaurant in the south of France..

.. Oh, who am i kidding? I've been living off junk and all sorts of other concoctions for the past week. You wouldn't believe some of the things i've made and pushed down my G.I. tract. So much for healthy eating. I'm actually too scared to get on a scale right now.

I blame Education of course. But i wouldn't have it any other way 'cuz despite all my complaints and threats.. I LOVE WHAT I DO! Plus at the moment it keeps 'The Knight' off my mind - which believe me, is a HUGE bonus.

Now, The Knight. I have tried not to mention him on here at all but i think it's time i came clean. I met a boy (Isn't that how all tragic tales begin?) Anyway, we're calling him 'Knight' - I know it goes against my 'R' names but you'll see he's different. We spoke and i didn't feel the need to gorge my eyes out after the first 5 minutes. Lola is always scolding me for never being aware of the opposite sex. Seems i was just binding my time as this guy is like totally on my mind now. It's a new feeling, this awareness.. but it was also one i wanted to explore. (Recipe for disaster, don't you think?)

Anyway it seems like when i realized that my curiosity and therefore feelings for said Knight were escalating (the more i found out, the more i wanted to know), i decided to stop. But then i encountered my first obstacle.. apparently there isn't an on/off button for these things. So basically, fast forwarding through all the trims and lace, i really like him. And if you've been following me long enough you'll know that for me that is NOT a good thing. I tend to love like a crazy person. Fully and wholehearted - my biggest flaw.

I'm determined not to let it go anywhere beyond basic friendship. I could lie to you by saying that this has something to do with Ray or even Rado.. but i won't. The truth is so much simpler: I'm scared shitless!! I can see me falling for this guy, like really, really falling for him. And before you make any conclusions i do NOT have commitment phobia. I like to think of it as self-preservation. Sue me! :P

Anyway, two exams tomorrow, gotta run. But I'll leave you with a picture of my latest masterpiece (you're welcome!) Don't ask for the recipe. I won't share.. plus i honestly have no idea what's in there. I just kept pulling on jars and spices but it tasted really good. No lie! Kisses!
