Weeks of Inactivity

I officially nominated last and current weeks as WEEKS of INACTIVITY. Due to the fact that 90% of the time, i'm staying at home. Well, except for my sister and her fiancee b'day dinner. My oldest sister b'day was on 22nd August, and her fiancee on 23rd August.

Well, during my inactivity - i finished 2 wuxia series
Return of the condor heroes 2006
Chinese Paladin 3

Gee, those two series was worth watching! <- i don't think this sentence is correct, but..whatever..hahaha. I am in no good english mood.. pretty mush affected by Chinese language now. I even asked my sister to bring "Chinese for everyone" books.

Oh well, reading romance novel now..

New Books

Due to after-MCAT-euphoria, i went to kinokuniya straight after that beast finish torturing me for solid 4.5 hrs. . I was exactly like girl-went-to-the-bookstore-for-the-first-time mode. In the end, i bought:

1. 10 reasons not to fall in love by Linda Green. Reasons to buy: i was thinking (noted: at that time) that the heroine have similar reasons as mine. In short, impulsive buying.
2. Visions in white by Nora Roberts. Reasons to buy: You know I always adore Nora Roberts book. Period.
3. Twenties girl by Sophie Kinsella. Reasons to buy: same reason as Roberts's books, but this time leaning more towards entertainment needs (for Roberts, it was romance needs). Why her books is always had so much fun, then i thought why i didn't buy this one?
4. Ray japanese magazine. My reasons to buy this was a bit shallow, as at the moment that mag had a free gift - mirror. I thought when i flaunt that mirror in front of Mom, she wouldn't cross me on buying mags.

Even so, that wasn't enough. Gee, i need more books. So, today i'll go to kinokuniya again for more. I've finished read it - ALL in, let say, 2.5 days? Those books i bought were really REALLY great. I'll do a review some time. Warning: when i do a review meaning VERY HEAVY SPOILER. Consider yourself forewarned. As people say, forewarned is forearmed.

Oh well, i've got this sudden realization (while i'm writing this). Why don't i post up a review on every books i read, starting now..and some of my personal fav (that i read over and over again until the page all teared up.). Oh yes, seems like a good idea. I should write it down on my long never ending to-do list.

One promise

I'll make one promise that i'll stand true no matter what:

"if I passed this thing (mark #30N or more), i swear i'm treating you all to a feast. Just name it..where and when"

Signed,

miss.icetea

P.S: I'm so not gonna sit this beast again..enough is enough.

One sentence post..

Let me get this straight..

"as much as you want me to...there's no way i give up...."

Happy B'Day

From 00:00, 23th July - my mom's phone ringing at least 3 times/hrs. Nice..

Happy 48th Birthday Mom. Love you heaps..You'll always be forever young~~

I'll upload the pics...soon. Internet connection in Indo = suck. For 3MB pics..it's gonna take.....ohh! forever!

Now, it's the time for a Birthday party...

B'day supper @00:00 = done
B'day brunch = done
Waiting for B'day dinner..

Looks like it's time to bid adieu for my diet plan...

The places...

It's gonna be sissy post no matter how i put this..But, i miss my life in Brisbane. Even though, its food not as tasty as Indo's food..and the people somehow cold and so individualistic, plus (sorry..) a bit racist. Yep, you're read it correctly - racist. I have several incidents regarding with that issue. But, Indo's racist, too..so no hard feelings.

It's weird - but i miss my honours-year friends alot! I know i rarely talk to them during my honours year, but what can i say..that honours year..i had it pretty rough. Grandmother just passed away...i live alone for the first time...I broke up with my 5-year boyfriend (or fiancee? uhh..whatever)...I miss my introduction week. It's just felt like suddenly being forced to socialize - and i'm no good at it. For the 5 year before my honours year, my whole life only consists of boyfriend, university, home, and family...plus two close friends. Once my friend complaint by saying my best friend is my boyfriend. Oh well, the past is the past..I couldn't rewind it. There's no point crying over the spilt milk.. Yes, i'm still adjusting with the change. Some people might realize that when i spoke with them one-on-one..i have things to talk about (heaps), but when it comes to group talk - Ugh...i'm a total mute. Dang..I wonder when i could master a group talk thingy..(I need to point out..that it's not close-knit friends gathering..when it's close-friend gathering..Boy, i'm the most talkative person). Does this behaviour put me in social-awkward group?? it's just with the people i barely knew..i tend to think (a lot) before i speak...well, admitedly..what i really wanted to say..i have no gut to say it. I'm a coward, i know...and I'll make my best to change it. I don't want people misunderstood me..again. I'll change it bit by bit..




As my mom always said...

"Learn to make a mistake, screw your life over..And Fix it by yourself. Don't just accept rules as it is; there's always an exception.. Be flexible"

Normal parents won't tell their children to go clubbing..but my parents did ('coz my clubbing record...let see..only twice?).


P.S: I also my miss undergrad friends..basically all my Brissie's friends

::feeling nostalgic now::

Panic attack

Okay, i'm panic now. It's been 4 days since i'm back from singapore..and i've catch this flu. And..umm..my stomach feels uneasy, runny nose, etc. H1N1 anyone? Panicking now. It's just my stomach always feel so bulky even tho i ate less. Plus sometimes it's hard to breath.. Geez...please don't scare me. I hope it's just a regular flu...

Desert of disaster

So, i was originally thought that me going back to Indonesia will be entirely holiday (totally!). I never thought that my parents will assign me an enourmous task in the first week of holiday.. The task has eventually put me in three countries a week ; Australia-Indonesia-Singapore-Indonesia, again. Tired? to death.. Result: Ugh..i really don't want to see an airplane for at least a month! Please, it's only half a year (plus a month) but i travel by airplane for like 15 times, domestically and internationally. Really really sick of it... That is why, even my lil sis and brother will be going back to Brisbane on 24th July. I let it pass - for now. I'm not quite ready for another 7 hours flight....Despite the fact that i wanted to going back to Brissie (but then, there is visa problem, too).

So, my fellow aussies.. i'll be on Indonesia a while, ok? It's not that i don't want to go back..but your government make it harder for me when i'm not a student. Geez..but i'll coming back again for sure - as a student. Sweet Jesus..

Today's plan: watching tennis match between my in-laws. Money at stake...ciao!
