Shop and Heal the Economy!

Ever since the portfolio submission, I have been rather relaxed and happy. I know we have to study but.......... I think we all deserve a break from the books.

I went to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic today, and it was fun! I think that it is a movie which all girls/women are able to connect to and a movie where guys will learn to understand why we love to shop. :)

After the movie I treated myself to some retail therapy and I spent ..............  ard 100 bucks on lunch and goods..what did I buy?? Well I walked into SaSa just for fun and ended up with mascara, eye lash curler and eye make-up remover( which I don't know why the lady made me buy since the mascara wasn't exactly waterproof). After that I went over to Axezzzz and they were having sales up to 70% so I got some accessories.. and then I went over to Marks & Spencer and bought more stuff...and well, lets just say I got myself some stuff which weren't even needed in the first place but what the hell? Let's just get them anyway.(I think I might have spent more than what was stated above)

Since the start of the year all I've hear was " The economy is bad, recession, bla bla bla.." and I never really understood why people were complaining abt the economy.. I mean, the British pound is now worth ard RM5 and isn't that a good thing?? I mean when I was doing my Alevels it was like RM7 or something.. and now its lower.. YaY! Stop complaining.

The only economy crisis ( mind u I know NOTHING abt the economy and am blindly speaking here) which I seem to notice is how the price of the groceries have increased which irked me. I mean, these are stuff which people buy to survive and they shouldn't increase the prices. I mean, if people are losing jobs, it means that they wont have money and increasing the price isn't helping much! My local supermarket here have replaced the famous brands with some never-heard-before brands. Which is also irritating because I want the things which I use to buy not some cheaper rip-off version of it. Now I have to go to major stores like Jusco to get my supply.

Here is an interesting fact which I discovered, the more u spend, the more money u are pumping into the economy to help re-build it. So what I'm saying is that if u go out and shop, u will help restore the economy and hopefully that will reduce the prices of my groceries! :)

I feel that I have done my part today in restoring the countries economy by spending blindly on stuff which I don't even need. You should too. So I urge u to go out there and throw your money around like there's no tomorrow and hopefully, we'll have a better economy state or whatever it is which I don't understand at all.
Anyway, moving on from something which I have no idea about to something which I have a teeny-weeny bit of understanding about, Earth Hour.

How many of us are really going to turn off the lights for an hour tomorrow? And can it actually make a difference? I mean, 1 hour once a a year..isn't that kinda SMALL??? How much can u save by doing it once a year? I am not convinced that it is actually gonna help stop global warming. If it was done once a WEEK, maybe yes, then it can make a difference, but ONE HOUR ONCE A YEAR???? I dunno.. I mean seriously????

I haven't decided if I'm gonna turn off my lights tomorrow in the name of saving the earth and look like a complete fool because I know my neighbours and everyone in my neighbourhood aren't gonna do it. So if you happen to be an earth hour supporter, please convince me to do it.

I am such an Addict

There are some things in life which we can life without and some which we just simply can't bear to part with. My abstinence from a certain habit of mine has gotten me yearning for it more and more. Yesterday, I gave in to the desire, cravings and yearnings. To finally get to feel that feeling which makes you lose all sense of reality, that feeling which dissolves the world around you, that feeling which makes you lose yourself complete and let your guard down.

Able to breathe in it's scent, feel the texture with your fingers, dying to get high. God save me. I have refrained from this habit for so long that I almost forgot how high I use to get from doing it. I am still high from yesterday, but I think that it is beginning to wear off now, and I NEED to get my fix. I just need to experience it again. The joy which it brings, only I will understand. I finally understand why smokers find it so hard to quit. Especially when temptation is all around you. When you intend on kicking off a habit, you should never surround yourself with temptation as it only makes it harder to stop the habit. It doesn't help when people actually encourage you to do it. When you are tempted to do it, a small part of your brain tells you "No", but then the person whom you are with says "OK". What am I to do?

Yesterday, after 4 weeks of abstinence, I went SHOPPING. OMG. I thought that I was about to go totally mad. The shops, the clothes, the shoes, the things which I could buy!!!! OH MY GOD. It was like as if I  died and went to heaven.

Allow me to list down the things which I bought:

1. A thai-silk baju kurung which I bought so that now my friends and I can "pakat-pakat" and wear the same thing to uni. LoL

2. A Bonita bag which I got because it was 70% less and the price was reduced from RM128 to RM38 something.

3. 3 for RM10 earrings and a ring for RM10 which matched the earrings.

4. A handphone bag which I thought was ugly at first but I bought it because it reminded me of my Grandma.( Not because she's ugly but because it looks old fashion and I thought it looked vintage but I don't think so anymore)

Since yesterday, I have had this longing feeling that I need to shop again because I did not get myself shoes. Every girl needs a collection of shoes. Plus, since there are sales, I should get my self more clothes. One can never have too much of clothes. I also feel like I didn't shop that much, and that I need to BUY more stuff. Even if I don't need it now, I might need it later. I should SHOP. I feel like I didn't buy anything yesterday, that what I bought was nothing compared to how I used to buy things like there was no tomorrow. I NEED TO SHOP.

Utter Joy

Since the class tests are done and gone with, and so are the portfolios, I find myself enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of classes where all I have to do is and listen and not worry about anything else. Things were beginning to get a lil too dull for me but thanks to the HIV poster, I'm enjoying my self with my fellow group members! We have decided to make our poster instead of sending it to the printers to get it done, so we spent an awful lot of time choosing and matching colours for the tables, arranging tables ( Arranging a table in Words can really test your patience when it doesn't give you what you want!), choosing a background..Gosh, it was like planning a wedding when it was just a mini-task in the portfolio list.

This poster making session with my PBL group members only made us bond with each other more and honestly, I could not ask for better group members. In some groups, when there is a task to be done, the leader will usually divide the job and make the others do the job and then compile it and so goes the boring tale of the normal flow of group work. For me, this time ard things were different. Honestly my group members wanted to be involved 24/7 with the whole thing and it was actually fun doing it together. We laughed at each other while doing it, bonded with each other while doing it, disagreed on stuff while doing it, at the end of the day we all had a great time with each other doing the poster. I honestly love my funny, quirky and loveable group members. As Ms.Chrissy was saying, our group has great dynamics when we are together. I enjoy every pbl session I have with my group members and I wish that I will get the same "all-girl" group next semester because it is soooooooooo FUN!

Today we decided to get half of our poster done. So there was the printing session which was followed by the arranging session...

                                                                                                 

Which was followed by the cutting session... and the arranging session(again)....

                                                                                          

                                                                                                       

                                                                                           

And this was followed with the sticking session which was facilitated by dearest Zee Yun which made sure that all the edges of the paper was neatly glued to the board...

                                                                                

And all the effort finally paid off...

                                                                               

Mind you that is only the first half of our poster, we have more to come and once we complete it.. we'll be very happy people! And I think Bee Guat and Ann Gie are promoting Mamee and Zip in the picture if you look closely.

We did all that and some good discussion on our choices for elective next year during the lunch break.. What great people to be around with! Especially Ieda who will be in her own world one minute and give you her full attention the second you mention the word "make up!"

Once classes were over, I was picked up from uni by Lil' Miss Pumpkin and I have proof!

                                                                                                    

She's so adorable!!! And she can DRIVE!!!!! That's my Pumpkin! :)

Enough of pointless ramblings. Bottom line,I had a great week and I'm looking forward to more great weeks aheads!

I would also like to thank my dear beloved PBL group members; AnnGie, Ieda, Priya, Bee Guat, Huey Chin, Zee Yun, Li Ling, Radhika, Siew Bing and Stacie for being such  great people in handling things and I am so sad that the semester has come to an end and we can't have our funny moments anymore. :(. I just hope that next sem, we will all end up in the same group again because I feel that we bring out the best in each other! ( I also know that sometimes we irritate each other..LoL). I am so overwhelmed with joy and love I don't think that I'm making much sense of anything.

Enjoy the weekend!

Ignorance is Bliss

I think I have reached a point where I am probably known as the most controversial blogger of my class. I was happy with what went down today and how the issues were handled. I mean, no one got hurt and no one got expelled and I think a warning is exactly what was needed,in fact I shouldn't say warning, I should say reminder..
Anyway, I have received mixed responses from people regarding my posts and I think ppl haven't exactly understood the point which I'm trying to get out here which is, this is where I express myself and I see no harm in saying what I think.I am not saying that I am right, I am saying that I want to express myself here. 
Before I close this issue, I would like to say that I did not at any point ask anyone to choose a side and I don't seem to understand why there are "anonymous" ppl making comments and talking abt choosing sides. I merely described an experience. I did not know that was wrong. So if you decide to go around saying that you choose sides or whatever shit, pls don't include me because I did not start that. People should take responsibility of what they say, I take responsibility of what I said.
An additional note, I will not approve anymore comments on my earlier post because if I do then I would feel obliged to answer them and that would start another drama because I will say more stuff and people will react and the next thing you know there might be war....so I'm not commenting on that and I won't read any comments on that as well.Send me as many comments as you want and I will delete them without reading. As Stacie said, "sometimes, ignorance is bliss" .

Moving from controversial issues  to work, I have spent my post-class test time chilling and watching tv and I think I should start on my portfolios soon or else I would suffer the same way I did during the CNY hols.Just half more left..and then I can focus on other stuff like shopping! :) Med Chem portfolio is like writing a book! SO many stuff to write about.sheesh! I should seriously start on it soon.

An apology for "Copy Cats of Class Tests"

Regarding my recent post, I would like to issue an apology to those offended by it. I wont say that what I mentioned in it were facts but at the same time I wont say that it was a fairy tale which I made up. I had my own reasons to make such statements and I don't blindly make serious statements as what I did. Although I must admit that my actions were rather irresponsible as I did not take into the account of fact that people are going to take my statement as fact and judge the other person. I also am rather irresponsible for posting it without confronting the person involved.
In my defense I have to say that I did not make an accusation about the person concerned to the tutor and did not request an inspection of answers.I mentioned that I feel that something like that was going on and asked them to "observe". And another lecturer mentioned that they noticed this student before and that was before I made any complaints. Must I be held responsible if the lecturers noticed this even when I did not make a complaint? At any point, I did not mean to give lecturers a negative opinion on this student.
All I am saying is that nobody is a Saint, and I am truly sorry if I offended any party with my previous post. I consider this my venting chamber and what I mention here is merely what I think. I believe that I have the right to say what was on my mind at that time. I hope that this post is not taken in the wrong way that the previous post was taken. I have no intention on starting a fight and I apologize to those offended by that post. I shall not accuse anyone for copying me and consider it a mere hallucination of mine.
I have said all that I wanted to say and I will refuse to comment on this issue unless I find it necessary. I belive in forgiving and forgetting and moving on.

Love,
