lessons i learnt today

its been a long while. so long that i’m desperate to pen down an entry! i miss spending time penning down my thoughts, my happy times, my less-happy times..

school’s been talking a toll on me. its week 5!! friends, we’re almost half way through the semester! :) if you promised yourself to be more diligent this semester, its time to start now and keep your engine going! we all don’t wanna end up regretting at the end of the semester, don’t we?

 

anyway, while on my journey home from school today.. i figured something. and that i will start cultivating the habit of penning down something i learn, everyday!

for instance. today. i was at buona vista mrt, walking from the circle line platform towards the north-east(?) red line. i was only ~30seconds-1minute away from the red line platform, that i spotted that the information indicated that the train towards jurong east (which is my destination) has arrived. upon seeing that, i was at the bottom of the escalator (~30secs away) towards the platform, and i decided that, i’m sure gonna miss this train. so i decided to stay put on the escalator instead of walking up.

i assumed that the train must have arrived for a bit, and i’ll definitely not catch it.

but when i was reaching the platform, i saw that the door of the mrt just closed seconds before that. and that if i walked up the escalator, i could have saved at least 5 minutes on my journey home because the next train took 5 minutes.

the point isn’t the 5 minutes, but it was the assumption.

sometimes in life, we assume too much. it makes the possible impossible. it makes the once possible, less probable. so this is one lesson i learnt today.

bet you heard this before: ASSUMING makes an ASS out of yoU and ME. ASS-U-ME.

so dear friends. stop assuming. start asking, start clearing your queries/doubts. if you’re contemplating on doing something big (eg confessing to someone, hahaha) you got to take the first step. do not assume. :D

 

and then while i was walking home from the MRT, a nice lady was infront of me, she was probably like 15 seconds (in distance) ahead of me. once she entered the gated door, she turned her head to see if there was anyone behind her that needed to enter the door (and it was me! i needed to.) that simple gesture might have spent her 10 seconds holding the door, but it definitely plastered a smile on my face, and i thanked her for that.

as much as a simple gesture it was, i felt so grateful. even though i do this too when i exit/enter the door, it is often forgotten that how such minor gestures, might just make someone’s  bad day, better, and someone’s good day, awesome! :)

so lesson number two. simple gestures which do not cost us almost anything, might be simple, but they definitely can light up somebody’s life.

 

adding on. i had such a bad DAY in school today, because lectures were the least productive. learnt nothing during my 6 hours in school today. hmmfpfhf.

but i had an enjoyable NIGHT, in school as well. thankful. grateful. :)

sorry its a boring post! i will spice up in the next post ;) UPDATE SOONEST POSSIBLEEE!

Greetings from my MBA!

Hello sweets!

I’m typing this entry on my new MacBook Air (MBA)! YIPPEEEE. :))

Been mentioning to my closer friends that I need an upgrade soon and finally, I got it online through Apple’s RED FRIDAY promotion after the brother (Felix) told me! :D Got RM311 off the usual price thanks to the promotion, yay!

If you’re wondering.. I’m no spenthrift!! I’ve been using my previous Compaq laptop since my first year in polytechnic! So its been a good five years(?) and recently its been extremely laggy and slow due to old age as well as it running outta space.. And I decided its a good time and reason (excuse) to change!

Its my second day using it and I’m trying very hard to get used to the Mac OS platform.. Everything here is extremely new to me! Very willing to learn though, I’m loving my MBA, very much. Especially its light weight. :’)

I’m so making sure that I keep my stuffs properly organised inside my MBA!! A promise to myself.

Teehee, alright. Thats all folks tonight!

Pictures!

Opening my parcel~

My beloved! <3

Last Thursday, I went to Timbré @ Old School with my friends! :D We love the local band 53A very much!! :’) It was definitely worth it to climb that 30825294 flight of stairs up the hill just to listen to them.

I’m already anticipating my next visit to wherever to listen to them! Hehhehehehh.

Timbré @ Old School!

My B and I :D

WQ & RY! The drinking kakis.

Was writing to dedicate a song for 53A the liveband to sing. G took my phone and said hello to my Mommy, took a photo of me and sent it to my Mommy on Whatsapp. & Mommy replied 'Why so happy'. Lolol..

The four of us!

:)

Thats all the photos I took with my iPhone!

Bangs for fringe. & I can't wait for them to grow! =(( Its been two weeks actually. Imagine how short it was after I just cut. Dear hair, will you just grow faster?

P.S. dear current Mac users, does anyone know of any FREE apps/programmes that is compatible for use on my Macbook to blog? I used to use Windows Live Writer on my Windows OS. Please introduce them to me if you know! Much appreciated!

 

Kkkkkkk Toodles! Didn’t intend to blog so much initially. Teehee!

Have a great week people, CNY is just days ahead! I CAN’T WAAAAAIT!

Because I wasted today.

Another wasted night, I felt like strangling myself.

I don’t mean wasted by drinking, getting drunk and wasted, but literally wasted the time off.

Anyway it all started because i saw that my lecturer uploaded new notes for the coming Monday. I wanted to print it in advance so that I won’t have to rush to do it on Sunday night.

And so I switched on my laptop. No idea what I did, anything but printing notes and time just flew by. And by the time I switched it off, with the last agenda being my original intention – print notes. In fact I almost pressed the shut down button and suddenly recalled I haven’t printed the notes at all.

So you get what I mean by procrastination messes up my life?

I intended to get a good rest tonight to start my weekends right but old habits die hard.
Ugh.. Extremely displeased with self.

Forget it. I must learn to be more disciplined. 2012 resolutions, I shall always keep it at the back of my mind.

First week of school is finally over. I expect the next 12 weeks to float by, though it’s going to be tough, I know.

Upcoming presentation on the 30th of Jan! I can’t wait to get over it, really.

And soon enough before we all realize, it’s gonna be the crazy mid-terms. I haven’t exactly consolidated all the dates for all the tests but I think it should be much more manageable than my previous semester. *fingers crossed*

Speaking about school, I’m trying very hard to love the modules I’m taking this semester.

Lecturers are always the major deciding factors, I feel. They either make or break the class, in the sense they either make the students like or dislike the particular module, don’t you agree with me?

I’m hoping for the best! I wanna do well. :)

Alright I guess it’s time to crash after so much whining.

Have a happy weekend everybody!

xx

ps: have you shopped for your CNY CLOTHES?! Faster do if you haven’t! It’s in a week’s time! :’)))

Calling Hello Kitty lovers!!

You might have seen my HK card already if you’re following me on Twitter/FB/Path! (& OHHH side track a little, i LOVEEEE path !! Awesome app! I’m hoping more of my close friends would use it!!!)’

Anyway.

This unique Hello Kitty debit card is available in all Hong Leong Banks in Malaysia currently! Sadly, yes, only in Malaysia! (No I’m not advertising, just informing all HK-lovers alike me if you’re unaware!)

I’ve seen the adverts for the longest of time and I asked my parents for the card immediately. & Finally finally, in 2012, I got the time to go down to the bank with my I/C to open an account!

Soooooooo happy that I got it! :DD

This is the card I actually got. According to the bank personnel, she told me that this is a Limited Edition one and you have to deposit a certain amount in order to get this!! I think they introduced this card because of the coming Chinese New Year! :)))

So..even though I’m a pink lover, I gave in to the *LIMITED EDITION*.

But I think this card is very pretty too!!! I love the pink and the hearts! AWWWW. Actually I wished I could have both cards. *GREEDY* lol. Anyway, to get this card, you only have to deposit at least RM210.

SO hurryyy go get your hello kitty card because its toooo cute to resist! ♥♥
