Saturday 9 [Sept 25th ed.]

Posted in: 2010 posts | blog images | Blog Meme | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Life | Me. | Reminiscences | University: Year 2


September is leaving... :/

Anyway. Another blog meme - interesting questions!

(Join this blog meme here)

-----

"Just Like Me"

1. Who in your life do you think behaves and thinks the most like you do?
While I have some friends that think like the way I do, I confess I never found someone who is like me. I don't even know if I want to meet that person. (I did found some fictional characters from books and TV dramas that seem to be similar to me.)

2. As a kid, were you ever wrongly accused (and punished, if it went that far) for something you didn't do? If so, what was it? What happened?
Ermmm... there's one, but it's nothing big. When I was in kindergarten school, during a class, the teacher walked out for a while and warned us not to be noisy. She proceed on drawing an ugly face on the chalkboard. She said she will write the name of the person who made noise during her absence under the drawing. As expected, some of my classmates made noise. I kept quiet. Then the teacher returned. She asked us if someone had been noisy. One of my classmates said my name.
That drawing
And then my name appeared under the ugly face.
(If you're wondering why I even bother creating that image... I actually made this two years ago for my fiction blog ;P)

3a. What about as an adult, were you ever wrongly accused for something you didn't do?? Do you think it's worse to be accused as a child or an adult? Why/why not?
Can't think of any. Actually, I am tired of being a reserved, goody child/teen - so I try to stop being one. It started when I began talking back to my parents - then some other things happened, causing me to change my ways again - then... now... I've become more of the defensive sort (to people who knows me : if you never saw me like this, then you need to read this blog more often. XD). Still a bit reserved, but I wouldn't hesitate to fight if it's a life and death -ish matter. I seem to avoid confrontation if possible (this is only applied to friends and acquaintance).

I think it's worse to be accused as a child because a child can't defend himself because of limitations in vocabulary and knowledge of the world (how things/relationships work; Dos and don'ts etc). Well, this is merely based on my experience. Different people have different childhood experiences.

3b. What’s the scariest weather situation you’ve experienced?
The Greg storm/typhoon in the 90s. I couldn't sleep at night because I was frightened by the strong wind.

4. If you could wake up tomorrow morning in another country, where would you want to be and why?
*blushes* I want to wake up in France. I haven't decide where yet (I want to explore!) but most probably in Paris. I chose France because I just recently realised my blossoming love for French language although I already started learning it last semester. Paris was because of Nodame Cantabile. (Geez.. I don't know how I got myself so immersed in Nodame Cantabile...)

5. Instead of going to work Monday, if you could spend the entire day doing something else--any one or two things that you absolutely love doing--what would you do?
Instead of going to classes on Monday, I would want to spend the entire day watching japanese dramas. Sorry, my current state of mind is like this.

6. What sites (other than meme sites) do you use most to help you post on your blog?
I usually visit http://thedailymeme.com/ (I found "Saturday 9" blogmeme from there). Oops. That's a meme site. Ja. Sometimes I get some ideas on what to blog from Blogthings by answering some interesting quizzes. But most of the time, I blog when I have thoughts that I want the world to know.

7. Check out a post on your blog from six months ago (March 2010) and tell us what is different now about your blog and/or life?
Terrifying! I had only one post on that month - "Bad Feelings...".
Nothing different from before. Especially this part :
"... but added with current happenings regarding assignments, presentations & mid-term exams - I can't help feeling overwhelmed and helpless. It seems like there's no change in my attitude compared to last semester's. I don't feel worse than before though because I don't have much expectations for this semester. I confess... I'm not bothered by my mid-term exams at all.. *which is a really pathetic reaction to have at this moment.* I'm more worried about my group assignments. I'm afraid that I'm not doing my part good enough. What makes it worse : I'm pretty selfish with my time and space. For me, every start of the week is a struggle because I seem to fall into a zombie-ish mode where I can't think clearly & focus on studying because of exhaustion."
*Huh.. what a pathetic study life I have*

8. What was the last photograph you took?
This :


9. Which fashion trend do you believe is the most horrendous and why?
I don't really follow fashion, so I can't say much about this. The worst thing I would call a fashion trend that I find unpleasant is ugly ("Oh my, that's so ugly!").

A Year Older Today

Posted in: 1st post | 2010 posts | Birthday | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Life | Me. | University: Year 2

*In case you didn't know, I turned 22 today. This is a compulsory birthday post to be made every year.*

An updated chronology of my blog (last year's is here)

┏━━━【2009】
┃
┣━「Whole Nov」 My first completed NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Dec 17」 Went to Tawau for the first time to attend my cousin's wedding.
┃
┣━「Dec 31」 First semester's result.
┃
┣━━━【2010】
┃
┣━「Whole Jan」 Second completed NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Feb 17」 How I was named.
┃
┣━「April」 Classes ended. Exam month.
┃
┣━「Apr 22」 I thought the black years (year 2004-2005) phase is over, but apparently not from this post.
┃
┣━「May」 Incomplete NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Jun 7」 My second trip to the same dentist. Brave enough to get two of my bad teeth pulled out.
┃
┣━「Jun 22」 Second semester's exam result.
┃
┣━「Jun 25」 Bye bye, Sis.
┃
┣━「July」 Wow. I didn't blog anything at all in July.
┃
┣━「Aug 13」 Me and my tantrums. Kind of funny to read that now.
┃
┗━「Sept 1」 This post.

There are some things that I never bother to mention in my blog before. Like having my hair short throughout Semester 2 (thanks to Nodame who made me see that it's not that bad to have short hair). Also, I originally wanted a red SE Satio but in the end I chose SE's own first Android phone (which I just named Shiro X10 today). And then today, I was surprised by the "arrival" of a purple Dell netbook - a birthday gift from my parents (OMG, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!)... And then those birthday wishes from my family (including extended family) and friends...THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Fuh. Enough shouting.



(I really miss blogging very much.)
