Chocolate Mousse and brand new furniture
Action: Took a little time off my mind-numbing, information-clogged exam readings today to go ikea shopping with my mum, bro and aunt.
Result: The place was swamped with bustling shoppers, but nevertheless, it was nice. I completely forgot about my work! and i mean totally! It was only until we piled into the car at 9.00pm to head on home, did the thought of my work come peeking into my well-relaxed mind.
Reason: I guess it was the entire package of the day that did the trick.
- 1stly, having my aunt calling at the right time, and offering to drive us there in comfort, instead of the original long tiring bus ride we had to take, was definitely a pleasant surprise.
- 2ndly, the nice lunch we had of chicken briyani, swedish meatballs, complete with a chocolate mousse as desert, served as a huge pick-me up for me and my tired feet =).
- 3rdly, the purchases i made to decorate and spice up my room really put a smile on my face.
- lastly, the fact that everyone was happy, made me happy as well.

Going over the top
All of a sudden, everything seems a little too much to bear. in a glance, when i least expect it, all this work comes tumbling onto my shoulders. deadlines, exams, research, etc. my head is becoming increasingly tight and my mind seems to be exhausted.
Its stifling me.

Too Bright for Comfort
I moved recently, and up till today i have been complaining about the dim lighting in the house. Finally, the contractors came today to install the new lighting.
Goodness. Until today, i never gave the phrase "too much of a good thing" much thought. But today, i must say i am forced to face the light.
In this case, too much light, WAY too much light! My room is so bright now, that it looks as though the sun rose in here and its WAY past midnight. One of the reasons why i am still wide awake at 2am in the morning. With such bright light in the room, you don't feel sleepy!
Lets just say, im sure i'll grace the day tomorrow with beautiful racoon/panda inspired eyes. not good. =)

Make it HOT!
My tongue is on fire, literally. took too much chilli with my bbq chicken that imy tongue feels like a majorly hot grill on fire.
Secondly, the weather these few days has really dehydrated my pathetic body of its fluids. Its so WARM! I feel like a hot potato just baking in a 180 degrees oven.
Its Hot Hot Hot!

The value of oneself
Sometimes you are forced to seriously consider how important you are in another's eyes. The fact is, you can never know for sure. Sure that person could be someone you share a close relationship with and therefore you naturally assume an equal, or at worst an almost equal reciprocation of feelings and respect, but that may not always be the case.
Feelings are never equal.

The Last Lap
For some queer reason, the last few weeks of my final sem is killing me. I'm tired. so tired. to top it all off, i am still recovering from a major bout of flu and there's a test tomorrow which i hv not started studying for. i am so dead. argh.
Maybe its the race. After running in this rat race for almost 3 years now, the weights i am pulling behind me is finally stripping me of my motivation to complete the last lap. i dont know why. Nevertheless, tomorrow's another day.

Hope and Faith
Thought of the Day:
Never loose hope, or faith. True it may seem momentarily blurred for a while when my emotions take a field day, but nevertheless, after i've cried a prayer, calmed down, found peace and relaxed, i realise that i should keep the faith and not doubt, because i know who holds my hand.

Lusting with the eyes
QUESTION: Why do females have to accept it when guys claim that looking at beautiful women is "natural" to them? They plainly claim the "its natural, we cant help it" speech each time such the topic is broached.
And a statement they will never fail to make is "don't u girls look at guys too?" It is not the same! For most females, looking at a guy means plaining looking at his facial features, to gauge whether or not he's goodlooking, its not lusting, just plain commenting with no sexual inclinations at all, at least for me it isnt. BUT as for the guys, when they look at women, its the 'run my gaze down her entire body and check out her assets' kinda looking! how is that the same? u tell me?
To me, its another form of "unfaithfulness"

Building a mountain with tissues
This is blowing my mind away, literally. I've gone down with the flu bug. A very nasty one too i might add. =P argh. my nose runs continuously and there doesn't seem to be any sign of it letting up anytime soon. I swear if i sneeze or blow my nose anymore, the skin off my pathetic rudolph-inspired nose is gona fall off. Bleah. the only good thing that came out of today was, i managed to go to church for prayer meeting, and that was nice. =) it made me feel better emotionally and spiritually, knowing that all i am in God's loving hands. =) i'm not so worried anymore after leaving all my burdens with Jesus. =)
Another thing that brought a smile to my face was a phonecall i received from him (aka my boyfriend), asking me how i was feeling. i know that under normal circumstances, this might seem relatively or shld i say an extremely miniscule matter, but to me, it kinda made me happy knowing that he remembered i was feelin under the weather and bothered/cared enough to ask how i was feeling despite how frequently i fall sick. the fact that he remembered and cares made my gloomy day filled with mountains and mountains of used tissue, a little better. these little things make me happy. and maybe this is what life is all about, finding joy in all the small blessings =)

A Slight Tinge of Queasiness
Had dinner with him today. Though it was short, it was really sweet. Sigh, just found out that i may have to head to Auzzie myself, unlike the original plan which included my mum, bro and boyfriend. That's kinda getting me down a little, but I'm trying to keep my chin up. =>
Another major thing i am worried about, is the "long distance relationship" thingy. As we all know, most long distance relationships do not work out plainly because of the number of miles between the significant other. well, though we have been together for a long time, i am worried. Not that he'll be unfaitful or anything like that, but more so of the growing differences that may surface between us within the next 2 years. Different environments, different mindsets, thoughts and opinions. That's my main concern. =(
