hello stranger

There's someone who isn't that apt at relating to people and is slow to detect environmental changes.
There's someone who's heaping everything on herself. She don't have to.
And there's someone who is on an emotional rollercoaster.
Gosh what should i do?
I feel much better now after typing it all out.

Everything will be just fine.

hope she gets better

I did ceramic painting at noon with Tomo--- a dish for Yasu's birthday and a mug for Amy's 21st, which i'm invited to next sunday. I hope they appreciate our effort. We spent 3 hours doing it. Then we went back to studies .

i want pink candy floss

I spent ANZAC day finishing up 2 assignments in the library. I didn't know what else to do. Tomo too. So we watched "the notebook" together instead of going back to studies just now. Yasu commented that Tomo's like Bridget Jone. bad comment i must say. And Tomo started her rendition of "...all by myself..." at the top of her lungs. Luckily she wasn't bingeing on ice cream and drinking like a fish.( as well as not sauntering around in underwear) we are dysfunctional.

my sis did it, so i decided to do one too

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:

You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.
How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

coffee and me

It's Anzac day. Somehow i don't like holidays as much as i used to love them. At least i can concentrate fully on my studies during school days and look forward to my daily cup of yummy coffee. Nothing much to anticipate on non-school days.

I would like to have an angel cream donut.
I don't usually like donuts.
It's 1:20am now.
i was working on my mother's day project.psst...secret...

my neighbor totoro

Everyone in my flat is on the verge of madness. Or they might have stepped across the threshold. IN comparison, Tomo and me seems to be the sanest. Really weird isn't it?

Tomo wanted a gigantic totoro but it was too dear to buy it online. Opportunely, I spotted this huge body pillow on Kmart's catalogue and we both decided to get it. It's just a head shorter than me. i shall draw a smiley face on mine. I made a totoro lunch bag for Tomo after my test on tuesday. She made one for Yang a few days back but she didn't have one for herself. SO that was my surprise for her.

I spent the entire day on the ground doing my sheep assignment. SOmehow i concentrate better. I shall get a little table when i spot one. I'm monopolising this table for the moment.

my smoked tuna ochazuke

I'm currently taking a short respite from studies. Holed myself in the library till 5pm and came back with Madame Tomoko.I'll be heading back to campus with her to do more studies. It's a cold dreary evening. I was starved and didn't have any substantial food the whole day(wahahah!sounds so pathetic) In case you didn't know, the sandwich making for lunch only lasted for a week. Now i just grab muesli bars or fruits and have them with the occasional coffee treat i get on campus. Today i had a chocolate bar and mochacchino(not muesli) instead as a reward for me working hard the whole day. SO sinful eh?

I started the rice cooker before i showered and had them with ochzuke toppings and canned smoked tuna. It was soooo yummy and comforting. That shall be my dinner on cold nights. I don't get cooking smell and it doesn't take a minute to make them. YAY i have leftover rice to make them again tomorrow!

the domestic goddess

Somehow studying is so monotonous that i'm starting to do stuff i don't normally enjoy. Yasu and me cooked Singapore-style chicken curry for everyone yesterday. I was busy de-deskinning and chopping a whole lot of chicken thighs while Yasu did the cooking. I felt like a barbarian. I suggested just putting in the whole thigh next time. It would definitely look better without my bad chopping with a small blunt knife. Yasu then replied we might as well dump in a whole chicken with skin intact. BWAHAHA!

I was reeking of "cooking smell"---which i hate---after that. Luckily i haven't showered. The curry could have done better with more sauce. After dinner, I prepared batter for tea madeleines. I got up early in the morning and biked to Kmart to get a nice baking tray. I would have gotten the teddy bear one if it wasn't so huge. It was hard to estimate how much batter to put into each mould. Some ended up looking like a chef hat---puffy and huge on top. I made small sandwiches out of the leftover baguette from yesterday. Baking is fun if i don't have to do the washing up. It's like doing craft work.

Now i'm clean(i showered straight after that) and had my coffee. I shall get down to studying before frisbee tonight.

The bizarre world through Angeline's eyes

So it's friday again and i always do love fridays. I'm almost like a raisin drained of its juice but still sugar-packed.

I shall write about small snippets of my week, which is almost as fascinating as the idiosyncratic world of Dr Seuss.

Firstly, I learnt about this special protein factor called "Sonic Hedgehog" that causes the differentiation of neural cells to become motor neurones.

Then, there was this lecturer who found exclamation marks amusing( he clicked on this computer programme twice just to get a "Good Job!" message that popped up when you submit the right answer) and thought that if we could say the name of this enzyme really fast, we would be like Mary Poppins.

Lastly, this lecturer who gave us an assignment to estimate the food intake of sheep thought we were "flabbergasted" and "shell-shocked". It sounded like my primary school essay. I loved using words like these then.

Am i finding unfunny stuff funny?

A sprinkle of reindeer food

To mark the last day of my easter break, I set my alarm and got up at what i thought was 9am. I did my daily yoga routine, showered and decided to run to 'countdown' to grab whatever groceries i had to get. The roads were fairly empty for a sunday morning. Then did i realise that 'Daylight Saving Time' has commenced and the time has moved an hour back. I felt a little smug about getting up early. My sleeping hours went slightly unusual during the break, or should i say ever since summer break. I made it back in less than an hour when i thought i took forever browsing the aisles of the supermarket.

Tomo and Yang were there to greet me when i opened the door! YAY! I made myself a bottle of apple cider vinegar honey drink (Yasu bought it yesterday and we were all convinced by the health benefits.)and a mug of coffee and sat down to enjoy the chocolate gateau tomo made. I also microwaved my beloved pack of sweet popcorn that i discovered yesterday. YESH! i did some reading to get myself in the study mode and prepared myself for classes tomorrow.( i sound like a primary school kid.hehe.) Then i went online and found this easy peasy recipe for sponge cake. You only have to make the batter and place it in the microwave. It turned out to be like the "ma lai ko" that i love! WHEEE!!!! It only took me about 30 min! And everyone likes it too. Too bad the honey turned the cake brown. I would like a pastel yellow one.

My day sounds really simple and relaxing. Yasu told me yesterday that i'm the 'happy chappy' in the house and i should remain that way instead of getting down and out like everyone else. Then did i realise the reason why i need 'time-out' every now and then. That's the time when i can be emotionless and cold, doing things alone and at my own pace. Somehow i get sort of grumpy around people if i'm with them all the time. Yep and nobody needs grumpy angie :)

P.S. The card is for grandma Lau's birthday.
