Holidays.. and I'm bored!

Sometimes (just sometimes) I really hate holidays. Wait wait. I can sense the horror on every one of your face as you read the lines. humans are like this, when they're super busy, they'll be wondering how nice it is to kick back and relax the whole day; when they're on holidays, they'll be thinking I'm so bored, entertain me! Lol. Exactly what I'm going through now.

Yesterday was just the start of my 1 week holidays. And I'm bored till death! I've practically cleaned the whole house, washed all my clothes + bedsheet + shoes etc, watched all series and movies on my external. So forgive me for spamming your walls these few days with game requests on fb. I dunno how and I dunno why, I've gotten so addicted to FB games. I should stop like real soon. It's unhealthy!

Yesterday I went for a swim after such a long hiatus with Mad. The idea of putting on a swimming suit on my fat days (and there's a lot of those days) is just (what's that word), just making me not wanting to go swimming (I still can't figure out that 1 word). But then yesterday I did go despite having a fat day, and I didn't regret it! Practically ignored the stares and the 'ooohs' and the 'ahhhs'. Men! Nonsense la. Sexual harassment! Maybe it was just me thinking too much. But then the crowd there was bigger than usual which made swimming yesterday not as pleasant as usual.

Met a few uncles in the pool yesterday. 1 complimented on my swimming style (*blush*) which was so weird. We actually strike a conversation till the point where I know his daughter studies in Sunway College on JPA scholarship! I know, weird right? There's more. There was this other uncle whom I met at the exact same pool some months ago. He was erm.. normal at that time, just having a casual conversation about his daughters or something like that (I dunno what's up with me and other people talking about their daughters in the pool). Anyway, that's not the point, the conversation was normal till at one point this happened...

Uncle : Haven't seen you around often huh?

Me : Ohr! Have been busy with classes and all.

Uncle : I was also down in KL for a month. What's your handphone?

Me : (Stares at Mad) Huh?

Uncle : Your handphone? Digi? Celcom? Maxis?

Me : (Stares even more helplessly at Mad)

Mad : Handphone?

Uncle : Yea. So we can go out for drinks. 012? 013? 019?

Mad & Me : (panicking dunno what to say, stares blankly at him)

Uncle : You know I'm from around here. Maybe during the weekends we can meet up for drinks.

Me: (Panic-ly) Erm. We are busy during the weekends oso with classes and all.

Uncle : Surely you have a day off? During weekends?

Me : Not sure. We have classes during weekends at time.

Uncle : Just give me your numbers then we can meet up for drinks.

Mad : Erm. We'll meet you when we meet you la huh?

Uncle : It's ok. Cannot talk here in the pool ma.

Mad : We're talking now rite?

(Me putting on goggles going into water. Hoping Mad understands the signal and she does!)

Swam for 50M but stopped halfway to get up and get off. Thank god Mad understood

As we walked off, we still had the courtesy of saying bye la. I mean he's older and all and here we do call all these people 'uncle', 'pak cik' etc rite as a sign of respect? He practically made me not want to go swimming there ever again. Sigh. How la how la? Mad said something that really amused me. "Karleen! What kinda man you picking up la?" I just laughed it off. Oh well.

Having all these free time isn't doing any justice to me. I dunno what has happened, I can't sleep for long now. No more 12 hours or 14 hours nap. I'll get up by the 7th hour of nap. Help! With all this spare time with me I'm really running out of ideas. Sandakan there's really nothing much you can do. Crappy cinema, expensive karaoke, no shopping malls; all they have are food, food and more food. And we're even running out of ideas of where to eat! As I said, I did not go back to PD as bro was having exams. Too much a distraction. So decision was made and I have to stick to it. Thank god people are coming over to visit me. If not I don't know what will happen to me!

Been having weird dreams for this past 2 days. It revolves around him. Maybe it's a sign no. And this phrase has been stuck on my mind for almost a week now. "The more I convince myself I do not miss you, the more I do". How I hate having a crush now! My mind is having a hell lot of fun torturing me now. Maybe I should watch more of the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" and consolidate that in my mind. Help!

Hopefully the holidays will not be boring from now on. My housemate even has a schedule of what she's gonna do this holidays. I know it's normal but wait. Her schedule even involves what she's gonna have for breakfast, lunch and dinner in days to come; what time is her nap time, her dating time; what sports she'll do for every other day. It was so funny! She even wrote like say, Monday, breakfast - Milo and biscuits. Monday afternoon - nap time. Night - Burger for dinner, dating and supper! *laughs*

I think I'll leave you guys here for now. Can't wait for Chee Chee's arrival tomorrow! Then she'll entertain me here. Lol. Still having him on my mind this moment. Oh how much I hate him now for making me think of him! Till the next post!

Harry Potter 7

Just came back from the cinema watching another most-anticipated movie of the year.. Harry Potter. .

I was never a Harry Potter fan, and I mean never. If you asked me how was the previous films, I would not be able to give you an answer as I simply couldn't recall. That's how bad it is! But I do recall falling asleep comfortably on the couch back home watching the first movie. Lol. I've never read any of the books and always find it fascinating when fans go crazy over new Harry Potter book or movie coming out. It was so weird to me. However Twilight came along and I finally understood what the hype was all about.

I was never a fan of this genre of movies. I know most people will say these kinds of movies are like so cool (imagine LOTR), but then to me they are plain scary! But the sense of curiosity will always lead me to watch these films (oh not forgetting the cast too!). For this Harry Potter movie, despite all critiques giving bad remarks on it, it was fair for me I guess. Not having read a single book didn't help me at all during the whole movie. I was thinking to myself the whole time throughout the movie, putting together who is who. Didn't help that I was in Sandakan, with freaking cold air conditioning and crappy seats. However, I would say that the money was well spent as I did enjoy the movie and absolutely fell in love with Dobby!

Today marks the day of my holidays for a week. Won't be heading back as Kel has exams and I would be too much of a distraction. However, with my pet sister coming over to visit me, I can hardly wait to kick start my holiday! Today I practically rot at home, spending most of the time on the PC and just going online. I don't get to do this much during classes as most of the time I'll be in hospitals running up and down. This is a much needed break for me to just sit back and relax. Awww.. How much I love the holidays! Till the next post!

Older.. and wiser??

In exactly a week's time it'll be my 22nd birthday. Oh my gawd! I'm actually like 22 already? Seems old no? But then nothing much has changed.. to me at least. :)

When I was younger (not implying I'm like super old), I've always thought that people aged 20 and above are like old and mature. Like they are sure of what they want in their lives and they are all independent and just living a superb live they've always wanted. Childish no? Now that I'm coming to 22 (which is the definition of old in my dictionary last time), I still see the world like how I see it when I was like let's say 15 years old. Lol. I still do believe in happy endings and finding that prince charming. I still believe that love conquers all although that idea has been shook several times. I still believe that we can get what we want once we worked hard for it.

But then, as the big 2-2 is approaching, I've been brought back to life as a teenager, living the teenage nightmare! 2 huge pimples now plaster on my face and it is so ugly!! I was not one to get pimples during my teenage years, so I guess it's payback time now. But still.. How much I despise pimples! Not only that, Miss dandruff and Miss flab also came visiting. So life couldn't get much better do they? Hmph!

All in all, I must say I'm still contented with what I have now. Still in the midst of exams although my holiday moods are all on now! This would be my first birthday celebrated away from home. Oh how much I miss home! But I chose to stay back and chill in Sandakan as Kel will be having his SPM and sis will not be back. So if I do go back, I'll be stuck at home doing nothing as well. However, I'm so looking forward to visits from Chee Chee all the way from Port Dickson and Grace all the way from KK! That'll be like so much fun and visiting Sepilok and the proboscis monkey again. :)

Will be updating more now since it has been ages since I last blog. Will not be including pictures during this post, maybe next I'll post. Till then!
