Swim

It's Sunday, swimming time!

I haven't been to the pool for almost two months maybe. I truly regretted the days I wished to, but didn't go for the past few weeks.

I suck!

I'm scared again and yeah, I pretty much just stood at the edge of the pool and um...stood. I get so scared that I panicked even after only kicking for 5 seconds...

Oh well!

I jumped into the deep end though (with aqua belts on of course)(and it was just 4'6" deep). So, I pretty much just held on to the edge of the pool and floated (with the aid).

Why am I so penakut? -.-

Call

I found myself missing those days when I would pick up the phone and call someone, or specifically my grandma.

I guess it's because she's the only person who had ever waited for my call. When I didn't, she'd call me instead, or when I finally did, she'd cry a river on the phone telling how she had been waiting for me all this while. Clingy grandma I had.

I'd say I'm the worst person to call ever. I don't try to make conversations on the phone because I'm awkward like that. With my grandma however, I'd be the one who'd have to initiate and keep the conversation going...

I guess with distance and time, I grow fonder to people I don't usually talk to a lot, like my grandma and parents. Nowadays, I tend to tell them a lot actually. From what I do, what I buy, what I eat to where I go, planned to go or had gone to. I tell them my daily life and share real stuff. We can joke too!

I am not funny, but I guess if I can make them laugh, what's better than that?

Ah, I need to talk to them but it's 12:10 and they would ask me to go to bed anyway.
So, tomorrow I shall.

Sushi

I had sushi with the girls today.

Two of us were missing for reasons that cannot be avoided. We even managed to drag Mar to go out for a sushi date (which is almost impossible on a regular day).

I had fun, we had fun. It's a nice day and everybody dressed up! With exception of Ayu who had an unplanned sleepover at Mina's house. :P

I think if Malaysia were ever to have an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet, they'd go bankrupt! The 8 of us were pretty much the most time-consuming customers that stayed to eat...

They kept on sending plates of sushi to our table that we think people have been giving us weird stares including the manager. For 8 girls, we sure ate a lot! We ordered more than 30 dishes and even after we paid, food was still coming!

We finished everything and none was left over.
We all left with bulging tummies, full with happiness. :D

Bus Pass

It's Tuesday and it's 2 degrees outside.

It's so warm, I decided to just wear a semi-leather jacket (Yeah, 2 degrees is warm). So, at 10, I went out to catch the 10:10 bus to school.

It's my lucky day. As I arrived the bus stop, the bus arrived soon after. Happily, I crossed the road, only to realize that my bus pass is still in my utility jacket I used the day before...

Usually, I would enter using other doors (I do not have to show my bus pass there). However, today I decided to be honest and went through the front door. I told the driver:

"Sorry. I forgot my bus pass."
"On the other bus? At home?"
"At home."
"Hmm. Take this with you."

He printed out a daypass for me and gave it to me for free! Thank God for letting this guy be the bus driver on the day that I forgot my bus pass. Such a blessing, alhamdulillah. I need not to worry how to return home too!

It's Tuesday and it's discount day.

10% of grocery purchases, $5 movie tickets. It's a day I specifically save for grocery shopping because duh, it's cheap, and I'm a cheapskate pretty much most of the time.

So, of course, I had brought along a shopping bag with me for this specific reason. After class, I took the bus to Billings Bridge Mall and went through my shopping list. Milk, veggies, apples. Yes, I'm healthy like that.

I grabbed all the stuff I needed and went straight to the queue. Then I remembered, I forgot my campus card. I was thinking of ways to prove that I am a student. I even thought of taking out my lab reports to show that I am a student. -_-

Then, it hit me. My debit card IS in the SAME wallet I keep my bus pass and campus card...

I went out of line and hid my basket of groceries somewhere hidden. I rushed home, emptied my school bag, grabbed my wallet and returned to the mall. I was worried that someone would take away my hidden stuff and make me pay for leaving stuff randomly. Pfft.

When I returned to the same spot I hid my groceries, the basket was still there and no one was looking over it. (Of course! Duh.) I went to queue up again, and pay all my groceries.

Now, they're safe and sound in the fridge and I walked 6 km today...

Good job, Trah. -_-

Old.

So, today was the day we made an appointment to meet 'dad'.

'Dad' is our potential new landlord. I called him last night to arrange an appointment for us to sign our new apartment lease. We decided to meet up at Tim's off Heron Road at 2 pm.

Off we went. We left our house at around 1.40 pm and reached Tim's at 2.02 pm. We sat and waited, and waited, and waited. It's so hard not knowing how a person looks like! We felt that we're like on a blind date, making assumptions on how he would look like and such.

Every time someone opened the door, we would turned our heads around to see who's coming in. You cannot believe how many oldies were going to this 'kedai kopi' in just a few hours. There's so many of them! They're really old and yet, they drove themselves to get a cup of coffee...

We waited what seemed like forever, only to find out that he's not coming... What a disappointment. However, in the end, I wasn't really mad or anything because I thought of him as a very very old and incapable of taking care of himself (my assumptions). I really was annoyed because I wasted my time, but that's that.

What? He's old... Oh well.

Life

Life updates. (Because I can, now)
  1. My brother lost my mom's phone. Someone stole it and I cannot truly express what I had to say about it. Things happened. People steal.
  2. A senior of mine is getting married! Unexpected but really, I can't imagine life with her, married. Something's going to change and it's going to be different for sure. Not necessarily in a bad way.
  3. We found a new home. I love the apartment, the location. For now. I think it's very home-y. Hopefully, our applications are going to be approved soon.
  4. Finals in less than a month. Easter weekend next week. Extra day off but I'm hating it already because it's delaying my last lab for this semester by a week. I just want to get this done and over with.
  5. I foresee more crappy meaningless posts.

Private

Hello lucky readers! (You wish. :P)

Here I am again, hiding my tangled thoughts from public eyes. Why? Maybe it's because I'm self-conscious, worrying that people would actually read what I posted (which beats the purpose of me writing in a public blog in the first place). Or the fact that Blogger's statistic showed that some people was directed to my blog through a porn website...

What's so porn-ish about my blog?!
