Happy New Year 09 everyone!
So, it's 11.15pm on New Year's Day and i've just spent 13 hours of it sleeping.
Yes, 13 hours.
Figured that it IS a holiday, and i'm better off warm under the sheets, savouring my sleep rather than being awake wandering around the freezing apartment wondering what to do.
What did i do with the other 12 waking hours?
Well, i went to bed at 3am. Surfed the internet on randoms and read up on how to interpret chinese astrology for a solid 2 hours non stop.
Woke up at 9. Had breakfast, immediately felt nauseated afterwards. (I put it down to the leftover soup i had last night at 11pm. Thought it smelt funny just before heating it up but it tasted fine so i drank it anyway) Ran to the toilet a couple of times. Felt sick afterwards so i went back to bed shivering.
Woke up at 5. Tried to study. Read 2 pages, then the internet got in the way. Read multiple blogs. Facebooked and became Leicester Dermschool's President. All part of Eimear's cunning ways. tsk tsk..
Ran to the toilet a few more times, got tired of running so i just camped in there.
I think the whole gastroenteritis episode has subsided now.
Moving on.....
Interesting.. or rather, scary thing happened the other day.
Went out to town for a walk and was going past Holland and Barrett's in Haymarket when i figured i could do with some multivitamins. Walked in and before i could even locate the shelf this weird middle eastern man came up to me and started talking.. this is how the conversation went..
Weirdo: Hello, er.. are.. are.. are.. youuuuuuu from that Uni at at.. Vicky Park?
(My university is just opposite Victoria Park)
Me: Yeeaa??
Weirdo: oh.. oh.. yea.. cause i always see you walking there..
(wtf.. the last time i set foot in that park would be 2 years ago)
Me: NOOO! (shakes head left and right vigorously)
Weirdo: YESss YESSss!! i See you!!
Me: NOOOOO!
Weirdo: YESSs.. what is you name?
Me: (ignores him and starts backing away)
Weirdo: That's a very nice coat
Me: err.. *muffles* thanks (continues to back away)
Weirdo: So, who are u here with? Family?
Me: Friends, boyfriend.. ( i thought he meant there and then)
Weirdo: Yea yea.. i always see u walking with them at the park
Me: ??!???!?!??!?!???!???!? (freaked OUT!)
NO! anyway i have to meet them now. BYE!
Turned around and S. P. E. D. off. FAST! Did not even wait for a reply/expression.
Quickly went into the nearest 'women' shop. A clothing store few shops away to try and disappear fast.
I quickly tried to disappear in the crowd and tried my best to blend in by standing near the busiest clothes rack looking at clothes along with the other ladies.
When i turned around, there he was! 2 steps behind me, as if waiting.
Okay, i thought i saw him leaving the shop at the corner of my eye when i rushed out but never would i have thought he would follow me!
I quickly turned back around to face the clothes. i contemplated pretending to not see him but decided that it was too risky and immediately hurried OUT of the shop. While i was running out of this shopping mall into the new shopping mall (Highcross)just across the road, to try and lose this insane man, all i could think of was crap crap crap crap.. who do i call?! oh my gosh oh my gosh!! what do i do? is this man crazy?! please tell me he's only mildly psychotic.. oh no oh no!!
i made as many turns as i could and walked through busy mcdonalds (it was lunchtime), came out the other end to try and shake him off in case he was following. At the same time, i was trying to think of the busiest place in the mall with people who actually bother about a stranger's wellbeing.
I quickly ran into Debenhams. It's a departmental store with pricey clothes. Figured that ppl who shop there would probably be people in their 30s and that if anything peculiar were to happen, it would definitely send their alarm bells ringing.
I hurried there as fast as i could. Adrenaline pumping to it's fullest extent. My legs were starting to feel wobbly and i was starting to break into a cold sweat but i didn't care. I couldnt even think of anyone to call. Everyone, both local and international students had gone home for the holidays.
The minute i got into the deepest end of the store i turned around.
Much to my relief, he was no where to be found.
I walked around debenhams, made small strange turns and stood in between tall shelves to try and 'disappear' in case he was hiding from a distance, spying. (you might laugh now, but you'll never know what these sickos are capable off)
I called Andrew to try and calm myself down cause i felt i might go crazy if i didn't relay this story/ incident asap to anyone. I didn't call my parents cause they would probably have a heart attack and worry till no end about it.
After 15 mins was up, i quickly ran home. I took the longer route to try and avoid the area closest to that vitamin shop. I made lots of turns, walked in and out of the market, constantly looked back to make sure he wasnt following me and ran as fast as my legs would take me.
I finally got home, gasping for breath.
Quite a workout i must say.. (considering i haven't exercised in AGES)
That was 4 days ago. The only time i went out since was to buy some food and take andrew's car for a wash.
So there.. that's a little story for my loyal readers whoever you may be!!
Feel free to leave a comment if u have something to say.. or after u read this so that i would be able to know how many people actually visits my blog and if it warrants further updates :)
TATA!

And Daddy, if u're reading this, don't worry i don't think im going to town on my own anymore. :( Maybe i should start arming myself with a baton!

The Revival
Oh my gosh! It's been ages since i last visited my blog and even longer than ages since i last published anything on it.. i feel sorry for my blog.. and for my little pet monkey hanging around the page..haven't even fed him in a year..
Anyhoos, i'm going to try and revive my blog by publishing at least 2 entries a month.. see.. so realistic! haha My blog has been dead for such a long time i don't even know if anyone visits my blog anymore.. sad but true..
Over the past year, i..
1) have had multiple panic attacks from the previous exam
2) had a fungal infection behind and at the sides of both my knees
3) shivered my ass off during winter
4) bought a bicycle, used it 3 times, kept it for 6 months and finally got Andrew to sell it off
5) went to Amsterdam.. haha.
6) rode the Nottingham Eye (yep it's the Nottingham version of the London Eye, it's probably 10 times smaller)
7) went to Singapore.. again..:)
8) met a whole lot of new friends :)
9) joined the gym to increase my fitness levels
10) developed this irritating patch of pimples on my forehead
11) learnt that life is spiraling towards a monotonous black boring hole
12) realised that my true ambition is to marry a rich man, work at the hospital part time and the rest of the time, do nothing but shop and meet up with my friends.
13) lost my favourite and v expensive watch.. sigh..
14) drove over a white kitten in the highway.. ( it appeared out of nowhere..it has been a year ago and i still am reminded of it till now :( )
15) became older.. sigh
One would expect to have done more than that over the course of the year.. but heck my memory is that of a goldfish.. I'm proud of myself for remembering all of that :)

Someone once told me, to believe is to succeed and to lose hope is to be no less than alive for which given any day, a person as hopeless as he may be would not be living at all. Beliefs should always come with wishes almost impossible to achieve, almost unicorn-like. Hence, cashing in believes so surreal would only curb great beginnings and hope for even better and unbelievable things to happen.
Someone once told me, beauty should always be appreciated as thorough as a piece of chocolate. A chocolate too precious to give up to indulgence yet too alluring to be left alone. Truth be told, beauty very significantly plays a role in our lives, be it an exquisite diamond cut so extreme in it's beauty, people only gage at it's very existence, or, wine so fine in it's taste, it graces hopes of poverished vinery owners ever-so-instantly.
Someone once told me, life is always what you make it to be. Like I always say, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Good things are always in front you, it just depends on how your read the picture. They pour upon you like sweet-nothings or fade like flowers in autumn. Materialistically or not.
Walk, skip and dance through life. Be, if not fully, mostly contented with what has been engraved in your circle of life. Although minute flaws creep up on you like disgusting little bugs you'd spend a lifetime contending, or, nails or pebblestones that worship ur feet when you've lost your shoes (haha.. where did THAT come from.. :)), you'd most certainly be able to label your life - perfect. :)
That someone is my subconscious.
Have you got one doing you right?
On another note,
Am coming back early February...

Welcome me!! :)

I want to scream.
I want to shout ravishingly uncensored ravaging porous words without thought and rationality. I want to desperately feed your soul of unrevolving plundering, hurt, sorrow and digustingly acceptable gibberish. I want to metamorphosise rocks into sand. I want to shout so hard, i would profanitise the little lamb song.
I want to be so rude, i strive to see myself in the mirror.
I want to erase the fact that rudeness is an incredibly weak and pityful man's attempt at showing mere strength and power. i want to see screaming and shouting as an antidote to incredible desperate attempts of liberation. I want to suck the life out of little scratch wounds. I want to dig at it and strangulate, every single strand of muscle.
I want to be silent.
Silence only breaks A person. Suicidal acts cure a person. And breaks them. Literally.
I want to ignore.
Ignorance is bliss.
p.s. I'm not bitter.. :)

Hair tips
HAIR TIPS
Lesson 1: Always make time for narcisism.. you'd be able to decide which hairstyle suits u best with loads of pictures...
This was how my hair looked in Jan 06
Lesson 2: Take pride in styling your hair.. :)
In May, Man.. i've never been so proud of my hair.. *tear tear..haha
Lesson 3: Never go to the hair stylist and say "CUT".. do elaborate... :)
Then it grew long and i had it cut it again..
This time it was really really short, at the top especially.. if u look at the pic carefully you'll be able to see the short spikes at the top of my head
Lesson 4: Always look at the mirror before coming out of the house.. (I styled my hair in the car, i think.. i dunno how i let myself out of the house with such messy hair... the picture below is the best picture i could find of my hair.. only the fringe shows.. tee hee hee)
This is how my hair looked before i left to the UK.. the girl on my right is some brazilian (i think) model.. :)
And.................
Lesson 5: Read magazines on hair tips cause if you're actually abiding by my suggestions, you really do have hair problems..
This is how my hair looks at present time..
The colour effect the camera gives out is kinda cool.. The blonde-ish part used to be RED.. at present, my fringe is annoyingly long.. so much so i never leave my room without my trusty hairband or a bunch of clips.. and the short (or long) hair tickles the back of my neck CONSTANTLY.. damn irritating
Damn i need a haircut..
LEsson 6: If all else fails, contemplate on shaving ur head, or just learn to deal with not caring about how u look..
I found this picture on someone's friendster page a couple of weeks back and i really like the pic.. so here's a pic of the wonderful imu bunch for all time's sake.. :)
