heeheehee, someone knows what it's about =D
To the person concerned: However excited and happy for you I am, I do think you should keep your guard up and be careful. Not everyone we think we can trust 100% can be trusted 100%. Not that I'm saying anything bad about that person. But yeah, I just feel you should. (Somehow, I feel like I'm trying to protect you, but why? Shouldn't it be the other way round? lol) Warnings aside, I'm still excited and happy... tearily happy. *grins*Just got off the phone with sly sly. I really feel very very sad for what happened. And I'm sure what I'm feeling is not even a tenth of what you're probably feeling. I have to say, I sure admire how strong you remain throughout all this. If it were me, I really don't know how I'ld handle it. There were so many things I wanted to say to you when I called, but erm... we ended up talking crap for one hour plus? Haha. I really wish I can be there right now, and crying with you (possibly... most probably... crying more than you, =p) I know that even though you sounded fine on the phone, you're not really that fine inside. I couldn't imagine ever losing my mum. So just believe and trust in the fact that she's in a happier place now, no longer suffering like what she's been suffering for the past few months, and finally free of pain. I'll keep praying for her, and you should too (I'm sure you will =). I guess this is what life is about. And, I'm very bad at expressing feelings over the phone, but if you ever need support (or if you just miss me too much =D), you know my number. =) (And I know you miss me, no need to deny, hehe)
John 14:1-4 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." Your mum will be there waiting for you. =) You better read this okay. I go all jiwang and sad just for your sake. You better read this! heheAnd because I'm, once again, procrastinating... will I ever learn? I wonder...

Side note: Does anybody wanna offer me any information about technology (internet) and tourism/hospitality? Oral presentation's coming up and I have absolutely no no no idea what to present for 15 minutes. My brain is still in "relaxjustfinishedassignmentsdontwannathinkaboutanythingeventhoughexam'sthisfriday" mode.From now on, I'm gonna title my blogs the exact line from the exact song I'm listening to at the exact moment I'm typing the title. For one reason. And one reason only. I'm too lazy to think of titles.
I FINISHED THE TWO ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK!!!!! One of them is due today. And another one was supposed to be due tomorrow, but the rest of the class (because I wasn't in class, I don't know exactly who asked for it) asked for an extension and it's now due on Friday. But because I've already finished it, I'm too lazy to go back and do proper research and make it better, even though both these assignments were done in such a big fat rush that 90% of the rubbish I put in there are probably made up. Because I'm full of crap. But my lecturers might not realise exactly how full of crap I am. At least that's what I'm hoping for anyway. =D I probably shouldn't be relaxing just yet considering I have an exam this Friday, an oral presentation next Wednesday, annnnnddddddd, the Friday after next, I have one assignment due PLUS two exams. AND that's not the end of it, immediately the week after that week, I have a weekful of exams. Do I have time to relax? No. Do I have time to study? No. Will I flunk everything? Yes. Probably yes. *sobz* But let me be happy for a few minutes okay.I can come up with 400 words worth of crap on the "name of a dish" alone. It's amazing. I'm amazed at my own ability to produce such crap. Maybe that's why my assignments always end up over-shooting the word limit by way too much.
However, I really need to work on my time management (It's just a nicer way of saying... I procrastinate too much). I have two assignments due Monday. As of now, I have only done the introduction of one of my assignments, and I'm about 25% done with my other assignment. Both are 3000 word minimum assignments requiring lots and lots and lots of research (preferably inclusive of non-internet research... I usually just search for books online and add them in my reference list for the heck of it =D). And a half hour ago, I was sitting here watching Heroes, and a half hour before that, I was napping (I get very strangely sleepy everytime I try to proceed with my assignments). Would anybody care to help me with my other assignment?Sounds so fancy-schmancy right? It's just chocolate mousse with some orange bits. We made that today! Among other things of course, but then but then, I'm so excited about this! Why? Because this is the FIRST time I actually have the chance to take pics of one of the fancy-schmancy things we made in cuisine class! Usually cameras aren't allowed in the kitchen... for obvious reasons, but today 'cause we brought home our chocolate mousse the way we presented it (usually we can take home the food we cook, but obviously not presented beautifully on a plate like how we would serve it to customers. That's what we do in class, but we usually just dump everything in plastic containers after we show the lecturer), it still looks pretty!

Dear ol' De Summit
jerxfl
This was supposed to be a reply to your comment, but for some reason, I cannot access my own comment area, I think my internet is screwy here 'cause I'm using school pc, ishhh.. so here I go posting my reply to your comment =):
I would go online every day to chat with u and everyone else from back home to keep me sane... but my Uni time is impossible, and assignments too. haihz. Until I have another meltdown like I had that day, I've already decided to go on. That was a one-time when I was lower-than-low decision. And as you probably would have gathered from ALL my blogposts thus far since I came here, I don't consider ANY of my coursemates here friends. Seriously. Fine, maybe friends, but definitely not anywhere near good friends. They're just people I hang out with in Uni. That's as far as I even admit to any relationship with them. That's how bad it is. It's not that I expect a lot from them. All I want is for them to be more mature, I mean hello you're in Uni okay. If you don't know what they're like, refer to previous post. And I hope for sincerity... even a bit of sincerity would do. Like I mentioned in the previous post, on the outside I get along perfectly well with them. I laugh I play I whatever with them. But on the inside, I know what kinda people they are. So I couldn't really be bothered. The thing is, at least you still have friends there, which is good. I only have "friends" here. Because their friendship is about as true as you being tall (couldn't help it =p). There is one Taiwanese girl whom I'm okay with... as in she seems more sincere than all the rest, so hopefully I'm not deceived again. The friend who disappointed me... she's a status climber, if you know what I mean. She's the kind who will leave you standing there alone if she sees another "more important" (eg. rich) or will-benefit-her-more person and start chatting away with them, disregarding your feelings. So, like I said, I don't consider any of them true or proper friends. The whole breakdown was due to a whole lot of emotions already whirling around inside me, plus that disappointment in her and *boom* everything came rushing. But I'm a lot calmer now, and I can actually think clearly now. So, unless things get really bad (eg. they threaten my life), I'm gonna try to hang on and be strong, because I don't think God made me to give up so easily. At least I know that when I'm finished and gone through all this misery, at the end of the tunnel, I will have you guys... my family and my dearest friends (as corny as it sounds). =) Being here has taught me a lot of things. It's especially taught me how much my family and friends from back home mean to me. I feel like all these years I've been taking all of you for granted, because I've never had anything bad to compare you guys to, to realise just how great all of you really are and how major a part you all play in my life. Coming here and having the coursemates that I have, it made me realise that I'm not always surrounded by people that I can trust and people that I love. And it makes me appreciate you guys so much more. Seriously everytime I think about all of you, I feel like giving everyone a big hug to show how grateful I am for all of you. Haha. Will you by any chance be back in July? I just might be back in kuching then. =)I've written this in my chatbox but I'll just say it again. I've decided to go on, if only to prove to myself that I can get through this, and knowing that I have wonderful friends back home (and in the UK for that matter=) waiting for me, and a wonderful family supporting me.
Chicken: people who've just finished sobbing their eyes out can't really think properly, hence the advice/advise mistake. ish. I do get what you're trying to say but you don't fully understand the whole thing (which has nothing whatsoever to do with staying the same/person I used to be etc.), and I don't blame you for that because it's not explainable unless you're really in my position. AND also, I was talking about switching Uni's, not course. -_-''' I meant that I wanted to switch Unis, same course different Uni different people. Because after completing this year, I'll probably be able to get exemptions or skip semesters or bla if I move somewhere else. But I really appreciate it. I appreciate the adviCe all the way from UK, and knowing that there are still people out there who care enough to leave a word. Although we're both busy with everything Uni is throwing at us (me especially), I'm thankful for the strong friendship we still share (that's what I feel anyway... but maybe you don't care about me anymore and just felt obligated to say something, *sobz* =p) Lyd: I know that there all these kinda people everywhere, but in a place where I have 80-90 coursemates, you would think that at least ONE of them are not like that, but alas, I'm still waiting for the day I find that person. At least in the comforts of Kch, I wouldn't even have to bother about them because I would know that I have a thousand other friends who are so much better than them. I've never ever EVER had the feeling that I should maybe try hard to fit in. By fitting in, I mean by acting silly all the time, laughing at people behind their backs, laughing at every little silly unfunny thing and not laughing when things ARE funny (because they don't blardy understand english well so only the angmohs and me laugh), being childish (eg: poking people and running away giggling), being the high school definition of bimbo etc. These are about the girls of course. I'm not kidding, they really are that bimbotic. The ones who are not so bimbotic are even more two-faced. So who else do I have left? Not that I bother with them much because to me, they're just people I go to Uni with, but at least when I'm in Uni, I'ld like to feel like I have someone I can rely on. But I always take comfort in knowing that you guys are back home waiting for me, and will always be there when I return... knowing that I can always ALWAYS rely on you guys... that means a lot to me. =) Bro: Refer to above description about all my coursemates, and know why I cannot possibly find any new friends worth calling a friend. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm alone in Uni all the time. On the outside, people see me being happy and getting along very well with all my classmates. But on the inside, I know what kinda people they are and already know not to trust them too much. After 4 months of being with them, they haven't even seen 10% of the real me, the me that I am when I'm with you guys. That's why I was extra extra talkative when you were around few months ago because of all the unsaid words in Uni, and people who know me well would know how impossible it is for me to shut up sometimes (except when I'm sleeping). That outburst of emotion was due to uncried tears and pent-up emotion. All the months of missing home and missing dad and missing friends, all the stress from assignments and long hours in Uni (a life I thought I left behind when I left Lodge.. at least in Lodge I had friends I loved and ECA's to keep me happy), and then that one thing happened that made me upset (probably because I was very tired and emotionally down on that day already). And the thing that made me most upset was that she was being such a bitch because of my results. She wasn't outrightly being a bitch, but it's hard to explain. And it was very obvious that her mood and attitude towards me changed after every HD I got, which is just plain dumb... refer to later-mentioned fickle-minded people) Jason (who left me a msg in friendster regarding that post, didn't even realised u knew my blog address, 'cause only selected people know of my blog, not that I'm saying you're not special enough, haha =) Side note: Lyd, not THAT jason so don't misunderstand, lol. I haven't been in contact with that jason for a while now, much to my relief =P. Anyway, jase, thank you so much for your message. Made me really thankful for the whole lot of you who are always so supportive. It's not that I'm letting just one person get to me like that because I'm not. That whole 'wanting to change uni' thing was due to a lot of reasons, but a lot of it is because of the PEOPLE I go to Uni with, not just one person. Plus the hours and workload are wearing me out. Maybe I've just always been under this illusion that Uni life is enjoyable and happy; all the fairytale images of Uni I've kept in my head for too long. But I do know that life is not always perfect, and challenges are thrown at us for a reason. Maybe God is showing me that I'm not wasting my time treasuring the friendship from you guys because compared to my coursemates, you guys are definitely a million times better, and I'm not exaggerating. Maybe God wants me to show myself that I'm strong enough to get through this. Which is why I've decided to go on, to prove my own strength, to prove to myself that I'm not as weak as I think I am. The people around me affect me a lot. Much as I don't like to admit it, I am very affected by the way people are and I very often wonder whether they have any values at all. It often makes me feel like me being nice to everyone is foolish because it almost always ends up in me being taken advantage of. Maybe I should just become 'the freak who sits in the corner, never smiles and keeps to herself all the time', 'cause it might be better that way. I would have an excuse not to interact with all these stupid, fickle-minded, selfish, two-faced people, and not get disappointed because I never put any hope in them in the first place. There isn't even one single person in my whole entire course that I feel I have any hope of relying on. Every day is just another day on stage, where I act all happy and excited to see my classmates, and watch the hours tick by when I can once again return to the comfort of my "home" here. My recent truancies are very much due to this; the fact that I just wanna be home where it's safe and secure, where I'm protected from all these people. But I'm learning every day... learning to not care about them, and accept the fickle people they are, and know that I'm fortunate enough to have old friends who mean the world to me and a family who love me for me. I cannot imagine a life without any one of you (especially my family, sorry all who fall under the category of friends, blood is thicker than water, but you guys come close =). This post has been very disorganised and I'm very sorry if much of this doesn't make sense because my mind isn't very organised right now. I'm sorry for the very poor english too, but it's not easy to think about french dishes, Spain, and write superb English at the same time.Am I weak?? All the pent-up emotion of the past 4-5 months finally exploded. I feel like changing Uni (next year of course, I'll definitely complete this year 'cause it's been paid for already, meaning even if I change Uni, I'll probably be able to skip to 2nd year or 2nd semester or smth). Would that be the right thing to do? A small part of it is connected to the previous post, but only a small part. I feel so drained out. All the misery I've been feeling for the past few months just accumulated and erupted in a mass of tears I haven't cried for the past few months. Some of the reasons why I really feel like changing Uni right now: hours are way too long and I feel so drained everyday when I come back (constant assignments are no help... I know every Uni piles its students with assignments but, the long tiring hours are what makes it worse), I feel miserable going to school everyday because my class is filled with fake two-faced people (the one person whom I thought I could trust turned out to be the most fake one among them all), I don't see the point in going to uni every day and pretending to be happy with a bunch of people who judge you all the time (believe me, this isn't in my head)... I guess the people in my current Uni are a big part of why I feel like switching.
I feel so useless. Like I can't even handle situations like this. I'm gonna be facing this for the next 2 years of my life. Society is probably gonna be even tougher. I really do want to have a memorable Uni life, not one filled with misery. I really really don't know what to do. I so wanna change Uni, but I've been telling myself for the past few months, that I must stay strong and not let something like this ruin my future. I wanna change uni, but a small part of me wants to prove to myself that I can get through this. Am I weak? Am I useless? I feel like I am. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved going to school/college and being with friends whom I love. This is a new, foreign feeling. I need advise.Sometimes I feel like I just can't go on anymore... maybe I just expect too much. Is it wrong to expect that people in Uni would GROW UP and learn to be sincere?
Damn, I wish I could stop being this emotional... I feel touched way too easily (later get cheated by guys easily... ish). I'm literally sniffling listening to the 9/11 tribute songs, particularly the "heaven" by dj sammy tribute, and the other one by Rick and Bubba or smth like that. It's just so heart-breaking thinking bout all those people who lost loved ones in incidents like that. *sobz*. I'm too emotional for my own good.
And once again, I'm procrastinating. Crap. I think I'm just gonna choose Kuching for one of my assignments, so I can crap all I want about the wonderful things we have in Kuching and my lecturers probably wouldn't even know. The assignment question is to choose a destination and research on it, and recommend to a board of directors why they would want to open a hotel or resort at the destination. Of course there are a lot of other subtitles that require information I have no idea about, but I'm just gonna crap my way through. After all, it's my own hometown, so it'll probably be easier? I hope? I need to stop procrastinating. Unlike truancy (I skipped class again today, so much for my resolution), procrastination is not an addiction, it's a disease. =S Btw, if any of you have too much free time, go wikipedia kuching. There's supposedly gonna be a lot of big shopping malls coming up in Kuching in the very near future, and even a convention centre. I wonder how true all that info is. Kuching got so great meh? (Of course, for my assignment, Kch is absolutely the best place you could ever choose for a vacation.) =pand the weekends are once again gone. *sigh* 4 days ago, I told myself that I really must get started on all my remaining assignments this weekend, 'cause finals are gonna come as soon as those assignments are handed up, so it's better to finish them early and focus on finals. 4 days later (now), I've done oh, say, 0.5% of the research I should have done? Crap crap crap. Online downloads are evil. They keep my eyes focused on watching movies and series on my laptop when I'm supposed to be doing research. Evil sim for introducing megashares which downloads shit fast. My new printer is evil because I've been busy "playing" with it; scanning things I don't need and then deleting them just for the heck of it, and printing photos with the free photo paper that came with the printer. All these evil things tempting me to procrastinate. I seriously need to get started! But I just can't! My laziness is keeping me from being on time. *sighs*
Ghost rider is cool.after PC Fair last year is the one thing I'm gonna be looking at every day from now on.
Eh lyd, damn cheap here eh, that one we were selling for RM599 (or 399) right? Here I bought for AU$88 plus a free mp3 player with 1 gb memory. Cool ei? =PBenefits of promoting printers 24/7 during BOTH PC Fairs last year: I don't even have to ask the salesman anything to know everything I need to know about this printer before getting it. I decided to buy a printer 'cause I still have so many assignments to do, and printing at the library has become such a pain, not to mention, a rip-off. It's 12 cents per black-and-white page, and 80 cents or something ridiculous like that per coloured page. Crazy. That's like 1 dollar for 8 pages. Considering how many assignments I'm gonna be printing this year, next year, and forever, I think it's a lot more worth it to just buy a printer. And it's a lot more convenient having my own printer anyway. Originally wanted to buy just a printer, but I couldn't resist the offer for this all-in-one one, hehe. Now I'm sitting here feeling guilty about spending 88 dollars for a printer/copier/scanner and free mp3. Maybe I just won't eat for one week.
is flying by too fast. I was looking at a few of my cousins' friendster pages, and realised just how much we've grown up. My "baby" cousin is officially a rebellious teen (she turned 13 a day after I turned 20), my cousin from across the street from where I lived in Kch has been going steady with this guy for 3 years now (she's 2 years younger than me... 2 years used to seem like a big difference), my cousin 3 years younger than me has a drinking problem (a girl for that matter). I feel like we're all growing up too fast, and I can't keep up. Before we know it, you're all gonna be attending my graduation (hopefully =p). I feel like we should be spending time to enjoy, 'cause what other chance do we have if not now? When we're out in the society working, I doubt we'll have any chance at all to really enjoy like how we used to. Instead, I'm here spending 80% of my time in Uni, and the other 20% sleeping, eating, or doing assignments. I had always expected Uni life to be at least slightly enjoyable, not torturous.
Sometimes it feels like time is moving ahead all around me, and I'm just standing still, trying to resist time. Before I know it, I've already been here 4 months... 4 torturous months no doubt, but 4 months that have just passed before I even realised it. Sometimes, I really wish we had more hours in a day. So that I'ld at least have some time to relax. Every time I feel like I can finally chill a little, some lecturer would spring out with another assignment. Gah. I don't have time to procrastinate... but I do so anyway because I am not me if not for my laziness =D... why else do you think I'm here worrying about time, when I should be starting my new assignment and worry about time.If it's gonna be this cold, it might as well just snow; gives me a chance to be 'sakai' and frolick around in the snow. I mean if the weather wants to torture me, don't just rain, go all the way... snow! I hope for a white christmas. Which is impossible because it's summer on Christmas. AND, I'm gonna be on an island in winter. If I'm gonna freeze to death, I'ld rather it not happen on an island. Islands are where tsunamis (choi!) occur, not blizzards. I so think that drowning to death is a really horrible death. I have aquaphobia. Or whatever it's called. I fear drowning in the deep blue sea, or any other big-space-filled-with-deep-water for that matter. I hate not knowing what's swimming under me. I hate feeling helpless, knowing no one is gonna be able to save you if you drown out there. I hate not being able to see past the surface of the water. It's like you're about to get sucked into this deep black abyss where time doesn't exist. I hate my cousin for pushing me underwater when I was 6 and causing me this phobia!
It's, however, very ironic that everyone thinks I'm a professional swimmer, considering the kind of phobia I have. If only they've seen me swim =p. (Despite whatever hiao miao says about me swimming fine and proper, I still think I'm a very cacat swimmer. The kind that any swimming coach would be so ashamed of. My very first swimming coach passed away last year. Mr Yap, if you're reading this from heaven, I'm very sorry that I turned out like this 14 years from the time you stopped coaching me.) Which is actually kinda straying a LIttle bit from the point of this post. One painful realisation: I won't be home for christmas!!! noooooo! How can! Not that very much happens on Christmas at home, but it's still that whole Christmas-time-wanna-be-with-family-and-close-friends feeling. Christmas is my favourite season of the year, and nothing should stand between me and enjoying my favourite season. =( I wanna be home for christmas, with my family and all my darlings back home. hehehe. (Bro, you're temporarily not part of my family because you suck. You told mum. You're lucky she's too blur to figure out that "someone signing for joce" equals "joce has been skipping class without me knowing", hrmf) So, what does a Shiraz, a Merlot, and a Sauvignon Blanc smell like? My answer: Wine. My lecturer's reply: Get the hell out of my class. (No, that didn't really happen. I wouldn't be here if that had happened. I would be on the way back to kuching in humiliation.) I wish I were a dog. I'm sure a dog would have been able to smell the blackberries and oak in Shiraz, the apples and lemons in Sauvignon Blanc, and whatever. I smell wine okay. That's all I smell. Is it my fault that I smell wine when I'm sniffing wine?? Ish. We started wine studies yesterday, and wine tasting started today. I will be drunk and high every wed, thurs, and fri as of today. Not that we actually swallow the wine. We have to spit the wine out as soon as we take a mouthful for a taste... yes we spit, into sinks, shared by 2 or 3 people...tell me about disgusting. The only thing I'm probably gonna pass out of the 3 wine-tasting procedures (appearance, smell, taste) is the first. I may not be able to smell or taste the fruits or woodiness or whatever other substance a wine is supposed to smell or taste like (apparently, everyone will smell and taste different things in the wine because of differences in our sense of smell, taste buds, bla bla bla, I really haven't been listening much), but I sure as hell can tell you what colour it is and whether it's clear or not. I love my lecturer though. He's so cool. He has two earrings on his left ear, and he uses a pink marker for the whiteboard. How cool is he?! (he's not gay btw) And he takes the same bus as me every morning. That's why he's cool. 'Cause only cool people like me take that bus every morning. =D (you know what would make him cooler? If he gave me my HD right now without having to sit for the wine-tasting exam.) I made lamb stew yesterday. I'm making chocolate mousse and lime souffle next week. I'm so wonderfully good (and slow) at turning potatoes (I'ld like to think I am anyway, heehee). I'm thinking about all the food I cooked in cuisine class because I'm so full right now. I currently reign as cocktail queen (I refuse to admit to being miss distinction. makes me sound like some kinda nerd. ish. I don't even study half as much as they do. hrmf). I don't know half of what goes on in ITHB (International Tourism and Hospitality Businesses) class, but I pretend I do anyway. I'm secretly fearful that my classmates don't like me (I may not necessarily love them, but they must love me, lol). I keep talking about things relating to my uni and course in this paragraph because I believe that it will make up for my truancy. I find it essential to exude random nonsense (some untrue) every day to survive. That's because I'm a superhero. More specifically, I'm an empath, like Peter Petrelli. Superheroes need to spout nonsense every day to cover their true identities. I'm in need of medication... or a tranquilizer.Cool. My previous two posts were posted 1 hour and 11 minutes apart, at 4.44 and 5.55, according to my blog time (which is probably still M'sian time).
In my uni, it's obligatory that our attendance does not reach under 80%, meaning that once we are absent for more than 20% of the classes without a valid reason, we are automatically sent home (oh, how I'ld love that right now... although, of course, I wouldn't wanna be sent home under these conditions). At first, I thought "20%... wow, that's not much at all". And then I came to realise, considering how many hours of classes I have a day, 20% is, in fact, a lot! And so, thus far, I have skipped over 20 classes since I started Uni this semester. Teeheehee. But of course, the girl with pful^zzz will always find a smart way to be lazy. Ultimately, my attendance record is still almost perfect except for 2 classes. Why? Because every Monday, we have two lecture classes, which means that every one of my semester 1 coursemates are combined in one big lecture theatre (instead of our own normal classes of only 18 people), and instead of calling rolls, the lecturers pass a paper around for us to sign. Obviously, I have a loyal classmate who signs for me every week so that the lecturer won't suspect anything. =D I've probably only attended the first two weeks of these two lecture classes this semester, of which I sat in the last row and occupied myself with my books... my storybooks of course.
The story may very well end "happily ever after" here. BUT, today I was told that they calculated the attendance according to hours, and not number of classes. HAHAHA. Which means, I don't even have to ask my loyal classmate (who is currently bed-ridden because his muscle tore from a previous injury and so, cannot sign for me next week... not that I need him to anymore, heehee =P) to sign for me, and still maintain a well under 10% absence record. I say 10% because my industry placement venue requires that my attendance record be at least 90%, instead of the Uni rules of 80% (damn). My acts of truancy do not even bring me close to 10%, 'cause I've already calculated that I can be absent for a total of 53.5 hours before it actually reaches 10%, and the 2 classes which I'm actually marked 'absent' for are only 2 hours each. That means I still have 49.5 hours to skip (not that I would skip unnecessarily of course... I usually skip when I feel a deep prolonged desire to sleep =D). hohohohoho. Pardon me, I mean 48 hours, because today I came home 1.5 hours ahead of legal time. Truancy is an addiction. Bro: Since I now know that you still read my blog, you better not tell mum about this... or dad for that matter. =p Edit: Ok, you just told mum about it! I'm gonna kick your ass when you get here.
