Shopping...

So my mum and I went shopping today. Bought a couple of sandals.

The salesgirl serving us was quite funny. Unfortunately, I don't think she was deliberately being funny.

Mummy: (waves salesgirl over) This is a size 5. Its slightly tight. Do you have a larger size, say, a size 6?
Salesgirl: (smiles politely) Yes, this is size 5. We have bigger size. Size 9. You want?
Mummy: (blinks eyeballs at her).........
Salesgirl: (continues smiling politely).......
Mummy: You only have size 5 and 9? No size 6?
Salesgirl: Yes, we also have size 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Mummy: I want a size 6.
Salesgirl: Okay. (runs off to take size 6)
Mummy: -_-"

Oh yeah, this reminds me. Later on in the evening I had an intense conversation (like real...) with mummy on marriage encounter retreats and marriage counsellings in churches, and she started pondering over an important question.

Mummy: What does a priest know about marriages anyway?
Me: A lot. Thats why he got out of it.

Grandma's birthday

Just came back from my grandma's birthday party. She's like what? 21 this year? Yeah! Haha.



My dad is like so cute. He booked the function room at my new place for the big event when we haven't even moved in yet. So essentially it's like having a party and getting people to tour your empty house with no furniture or whatever. So weird, but it was quite fun. My dad went early to work on the treadmill to get rid of the extra fats. He needs it, I guess.

Anyway, I think the function room was quite a good suggestion though. It was right next to the pool and had glass doors facing it, so the ambience was nice. Especially when the lights came on. Quite relaxing.


This is the view from the balcony of my new place.

Oh, there was also like so much food. I think my dad booked for 30 people when there were only 17 of us there. So we tapao like tons of food home, and I think we stayed much longer than we were suppose to.

On other news...

Big scandal. NKF's former deputy director, Richard Yong has disappeared. Gone missing since May 21st. Last spotted in Kuala Lumpur. What I want to know is why he was allowed to leave the country in the first place, since he was declared a bankrupt and is in the midst of the NKF scandal court case.

Yesterday night I was also reading an article which some parent wrote to the newspapers ranting about how the local universities have rejected this daughter's application. Valid complaint or just sour grapes?

Alrighty. Adelyn, out!

Hors de Prix

For the first time since ancient history, I actually woke up on a non-Sunday in time for breakfast. Whoopee! Had a Big Breakfast at Macs with Esther and then headed down to PS for movie.



Esther wanted to watch some French movie called Priceless (Hors de Prix), so we went to watch it. There were English subtitles to go with it too, so everyone could understand it and laugh at the appropriate moments. Yeah, romantic comedy.

I think I read some review on the net somewhere that its an NC16 movie because of brief nudity. Now thats weird, because I seriously don't recall any nude scenes, whether brief or prolonged. Hmm.. c'est un peu bizarre. Sure, there were one or two rolling-on-the-bed scenes, which was expected since its made by the French, but nothing obscene or artistically abstract.

Anyway, the plot is about the love story between a gold-digging hooker and a waiter-turned-toyboy. Absolutely great, because we got to see a whole lot of caviar and champagne and high French living. Ah.. my kind of life, man.

So then, after the movie, we went back home, and I went straight back to bed. That's suppose to be the life after exams, isn't it? Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, eat, sleep and champagne, non?

Results Day

I was telling Esther and Juliet that if today were Good Friday, it must be the most meaningful Good Friday in my entire life.

I woke up at noon and spent the next 3 hours in utter agony till 3pm when the results were finally released. Yeah, the same 3 hours of the same day of the week which Jesus spent in utter agony on the cross.

I did everything I could to keep my mind off the frustration and horror, from praying the rosary to reading the bible.

Not forgetting asking for the intercession of:
1) The Blessed Mother
2) St. Catherine of Alexandria (patron saint of students)
3) St. Jude the Apostle (patron saint of desperate situations)

Many people don't know. St. Jude is my patron saint. =p

So at the holy hour, my agony was finally lifted because the first sentence I saw was "Congratulations on your graduation! We will be printing your degree scroll soon."

Fine. Two sentences. Like I bother to count.

So essentially, the point I'm trying to make is... I have officially graduated.

Woohoo! Juliet!...... We have finally made it!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to the Commencement Ceremony on 07/07/07!

Thank God!

Get a job!

"Get a job. Get a job. Get a job."

I've been hearing that from everybody everyday.

One example.

Sheesh. Can't a lady get a month of peace?

I will go look for one. Eventually. Okay?

Why do we have to work so hard?

My mum emailed me this. I'm assuming she wants to inspire me to work hard, since she sent me this on the day of my last paper. -_-"


On the very first day of the world, God created the cow.He said to the cow:
"Ah Gu (cow), today I have created you!
Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long.You will provide the energy to pull things!
You will also provide milk for people to drink!
You are to work all day under the sun! In return, you will only eat grass. For that, you will have a life span of 50 years."

Ah Gu objected.
"What.. I work all day in the sun and I get only to eat grass!
On top of that, I have to give my milk away!
This is tough and you want me to live 50 years! I'll take 20 and you can have the remaining 30 years back!" God agreed.

On the next day, God created the dog.
He said to the dog.
"Ah Kow (dog), I have created you for a purpose.
You are to sit all day by the door of your master's house!
Should anyone come in, you are to bark at them!
In return, you will eat your master's leftovers.
I'll give you a life span of 20 years."
Ah Kow objected.
" What !
I have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at people, and what do I get...LEFTOVERS...
This isn't right, I'll take 10 and you can have the remaining 10 years back!"
God agreed again.
On the third day, God created the monkey.
He said to the monkey.
"Lao Kao (monkey), your job is to entertain people.
You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces!
You will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them.
In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts.
For that, I'll give you 20 years to live."
Naturally the monkey objected.
"This is ridiculous,
I gotta make faces and make people laugh let not even come to the part about the trees and somersaults.
Tell you what, I'll give 10 years of my life to thank you for my
existence and I'll take 10.
What do you think?"
God agreed again.
On the forth day, God created humans.
God said to the man.
"You are my best piece of work, for that, you will only need to sleep, eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep again and do nothing else.You will get to eat all the best things and play with the best toys.

All you need to do is enjoy all your life.
For this kinda of life, I'll give you 20 years."
Just like the rest, the man objected.
"What, all I need to do is relax and enjoy myself and I have only 20 years to live?
Tell you what, you've 30 years back from Ah Gu, 10 years from Ah Kow and another 10 from Lao Kao and you probably don't know what to do with all those lifes. Why not I take them all and I'll have 70 years to live?" God

being such good natured, agreed with a smile.....
AND THAT IS WHY.....
We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the first 20 years of our lives when we are growing up.
Work like a cow for the next 30 to raise our family.
Sit outside the door and bark at people for the next 10 when we are retired.
And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10 years.
GET IT ?????
