Summertime

I took a 5-minute shower and have never been prouder of myself. We have this new Take 5 initiative where they installed shower timer in shower stalls to encourage students to take only 5 minutes everytime they shower. Do you know, if everyone in this college reduces their shower time from 7.5 minutes to 5 minutes, we can save up to 10,000 gallons of water? That’s the entire South China Sea! (kidding)

——-

I think when I wrote the entry about the hiatus, i could have exaggerated a tiny wee bit..I don’t have THAT much work, at least not yet. Even if I do, I always find time for so many things! Do you know that:

-I have 8-9 hours of sleep daily

-I watch at least an hour of drama EVERY day

-I eat my meals slowly, about 1 hour each meal time

-I read at least 10 blogs a day and visit fmylife 3 times a day wtf

-I’m online 8 hours a day (after deducting meal times and class times) (study time=about 1 hour each day..*feels guilty)

+2 more hours for ‘socializing’, although I hardly have a social life here wtf

I told my friends that I sleep at least 8-9 hours everyday and they were so shocked cause they don’t have time to sleep. Shit now I’m panicking! If I sleep that much, it means I didn’t study enough = I’m not a good student = I’ll fail my courses?? Let me tell you a secret, sometimes I force myself to sleep really late and wake up early so that I will feel like I don’t have enough sleep.. and perhaps then I’ll feel more like a student o.O

Anywayyy, my summer plans are confirmed! I’m going to London after my semester ends (May 14th) and I’ll be there for about 6 days before going back to Malaysia. Then, I have about 3 weeks free before I start my internship with WAO for 2 months! I’m really looking forward to this internship :) And then I have about 1 week before I fly off to Hong Kong for my semester abroad!

And then in Dec, I’ll be back in Malaysia again for 3 weeks!! Wow I can’t believe I’m spending Christmas and New Year in Malaysia this year! Too bad Barry won’t be with me :(

p.s:

I wanna get short blond hair this summer. Do you think I can pull it off?? Or do I need more angular face/bigger eyes?

    Do you know that short hair and blonde means lots of maintenance? Ya lorrr….. after three weeks, black roots appeared.. then you have to colour again… hair getting long… then have to cut to keep the look. If you have long hair… kalau tumbuh panjang…. grow laaa…. dun give a fak one laa… doesn’t change a thing…

    So.. do you think you want spend extra money for being blonde and having short hair. ANYWAYYYYY… you botak pun… still look gorgeous laaa.. Kan kan kan?

    yeah u shud definitely try short hair! last time my hair was until waist length and i cut it to somewhere btw my ear and neck length…the shiokness! :D

    but maybe u might wanna try a darker tone of hair color la, cuz dont think we asians can pull off bright colors…it’s just a suggestion and you can of course experiment anything with your hair!

    good luck! :D

    Pei says:

    Hey your long hair looks great on you. Well short hair will bring prolly a very freshie you, it will def look great as well. To make it blonde, yeah take heaps of maintainence.

    I used to bleach (blonde) my hair, gosh its hard to maintain when your new hair grow.. Eiks!
    It is just experience on the hair thingy..!

    Take care =)

    everyone;s said it. don’t cut and become a ditzy blond :P
    your curls are sooo pretty and going blond means frequent touch ups and that spells more $$$$$$

    Marlene says:

    Don’t become a blond! Seriously why become blond when you have such a beautiful natural black!

    But short hair might be nice… it always makes me feel so much younger and free when I get my hair cut really short…

    Fang says:

    hey suet. first time leaving a comment here. haha. er.. the reason is wanna advise u not to cut your hair. its so nice esp after u curl it urself. summore u may regret after cutting it that short as it takes time to grow. trust me. i experienced it back then. till now, i still havent get back my long wavy hair!! ( still kinda short but at least no more in between shoulder length)..
    think wisely, ya? lol

    chizr says:

    Short hair would be great but blonde is tough to pull off, you have to have really nice fair skin tone to complement the blonde-ness. and sharp features

    I cannot sleep late and wake early…I’ll get headache…so I enjoy feeling like high school kids who go to bed early *reluctantly* and wakes up early for class *reluctantly too*. But I wake up later than high school kids. It’s so fun to be in uni… XD

    ellejay says:

    I think you could do the second bob! But not blonde…and also, short hair does make you feel insecure about big arms and personally, i feel naked without my long hair! Back-ne much? T.T
    But of course I do agree as does almost everyone else that you look gorgeous with your hair now :) But then again, if you’re looking to try it…I guess better now instead of later!
    Good luck in deciding haha! :)

    Jay says:

    Short hair yes, blonde, no. I have always had short hair until I took a year to decide to cut it and have never regretted it since! Loves it and you can always get extensions esp in Malaysia it’s probably cheap? In London though its freaking expensive!!! Lash extensions are £65 wtf right! So imagine hair extension, its can go up to £400 T___T

    Im so excited you’re coming to London so soon! Are you meeting with Barry or anyone? If you need tips/help whatever let me know and if you can make a day trip to Oxford only 90 mins on the coach it’s beautiful, where I live. xoxo

    I would want to ask, you’re willing to pay for the air tickets and to be onboard for like EVER (long journey) all the way back to Malaysia, JUST FOR 3 WEEKS?
    Even myself would reluctant to do so if I were to go home just for a month nia … you somemore 3 weeks … so short.
    Besides, didn’t your parents say anything? (like “better no need” or “stay longer la”) Because, I know mine, even 2-months is “considered” short (period of stay) to my mom.

      sweatlee says:

      i’m going home for 3 months, don’t know what you’re talking about. and then i’m going to msia for 3 weeks from HK after my semester abroad, so the flight ticket is not expensive. i have 1 month in between my fall and spring semester and i can’t stay in HK cause i’m only supposed to be there till dec. sem starts in Feb in the US. i dont know why am i explaining all these to random strangers who like to assume

    wuliao says:

    Didn’t you also assume (that the instant noodle enhancer wrapper), was a “condom wrapper” AND a “lubricant cache”?
    My bad, probably did not fully understand your language
