Adelene is taking a break from blogging for 4 days. Leaving to Penang for her brother's wedding dinner. =D Don't miss me too much ya! *wink*

Pool Addicts.

HOLLER!

WE ARE THE POOL ADDICTS!!!!

*sniff sniff*

p/s: was refering to Lydia and I by the way.

Hormone Imbalance

Finally I know the reason for my recent mood swing and it is definitely not due to PMS. I blame on my hormones. =p Okay okay, it was something else I think...

Man, I hate mood swings!!! I even tried swinging away all my worries and doubts this evening by playing on a swing. Hmmm.. what's the cause of it?? Issit because of that?? Just that small lil' thing I had? Wonders wonders. Adelene needs a chill pill. Any offers?

Lalalala~ my mood goes up... and down... and up... and down.. and up... and down... and up to the sky and down to the drain *singing with a rythme*. Ahhhh! I know one cure... sleeping is always the best medicine, right Lydia? Hahahaha! off to bed off to be~ Lalalala~

A Day When Everything Went From Good to Bad.

Life has been quite routine lately, besides going for classes, I am caught up with a new addiction - pool. I bet most of my friends kinda know Lydia and I got really into pool lately and it annoys the hell outta everyone because each time they asked where I have been, my answer will surely be pool. Somehow it even got one of my friend jealous due to the fact that I spend more time with my pool friends instead of him/her. I wouldn't say my pool skill is good, but it's surely improving from time to time. So, that's a little introduction about my life recently... I'll go on with my day today =)

I wonder why people always complain about Monday blues, it isn't that bad for a start of a new week actually. Oh at least that was what I thought when I was still in class at 8.30am this morning. Class was still okay even though it is at 8.30am, but I would say I prefer Mr. Robert to conduct the lecture instead of this invited guest. He kinda annoys me with his tone... you know, he will raise his voice whenever he wants to emphasize on certain notes. Hello! the class isnt that big honey, we can hear you~ Training and Development class wasn't too bad. We started off writing a short story about evolution. Hmmm... Imagine not writing essays for years (besides MUET and blogs) and we only had like... 30minutes for it? To me, I admit that I am not the best writer among my friends, in fact I suck in writing. I don't use bombastic words like how others do, I do grammar mistakes like nobody business and I certainly can't write a proper sentence. It is such a shame where you see how your other friends write or speaks beautifully without effort. It hits me harder when I found out that even my new pool friend can speak so much better than I do, never ever underestimate people even if they are only SPM leavers.

Anyway, back to what happened after my class. Went for lunch with Crystal, Jac and Yat Gao Yat Gao @ Jia Jia for duck rice before heading to town to chill. I would say this is the first time I actually have my private time spending at Starbucks drinking my favourite hot chocolate as I flipped through my book. Yeap, I do not know what's up with me recently... I feel it is essential for everyone to have some time for themselves, either to relax your mind from the hectic schedule or just to have your own time doing the things u like. So, as I was sitting down sipping my hot chocolate, I felt like my mood started to change from good to bad. Tried to ignore it and continue with my reading but it has came to a point that I felt from bad to worse. OMG! I guess it's just the typical mood swings every girl has, blames the hormones. Also I was in need of companionship from friends, and that is why I changed my mind to join the guys for pool instead. Yes I know... AGAIN! I do not have to repeat it again and again that I'm a pool addict!!!

Left Starbucks at 3.40pm and went to Jetty. The guys didnt know that I am coming so I guess it is kinda shock for them to see me there, plus they weren't expecting me to come since Lydia wasn't coming. I felt kinda awkward and shy... somehow felt unwelcome a little.. U know.. crash in someones game at the very last minute isn't very pleasant but who cares I seriously need to chill myself before I go cuckoo. Pool wasn't that bad because the guys actually trying to be nice and gentleman to let me win. It is so obvious that they are giving me chances over and over again. Come on, they are very good in pool and how is that possible for me to beat both of them; 4-0? Speaking about luck? I doubt so. They are just being nice to me~

Feeling better after half an hour of pool session? Nope! I felt the same and my mind wandered around while I was driving. Such a dangerous act I must say, imagine me paying no attention to the roads, I might hit a car... or a cat... or or... something. The moment I reached home, I knew that I must do something to occupy my mind. My first thought was nothing better than a good jog around my housing area. Without further delay, I started jogging around for half an hour with music blasting to my ears. It was relaxing being able to let go by just exercising, at least it works for me. =p This is getting too long and lengthy, I guess I better call it a night for today. =D Oh ya, if u are to ask me how do I feel right now? Thank you very much, I feel so much better. *wink*

Childhood Ambition

Remember the times when our primary school teachers used to question us?

"What is your ambition? What do you want to be when you grow up?"

It is still crystal clear in my mind what most of my friends wanted to be.

"I want to be a doctor because it gives good pay!"

"I want to be a lawyer because I wanna kick the bad guy's ass off!" (of course they didn't say this)

Those were the two most wanted careers that my friends wanna to pursue, however most of them ended up taking up engineering and business. Sometimes I can be really lame, sitting down doing nothing. That happened half an hour ago where I started to recall my childhood ambitions.

So, anyone ups for a guess what were my childhood ambitions? Winners gets a free lunch~ winks* lol.

When I was in primary school, I always dream of being a fashion designer. This is because I love to draw and design, but I gave up on this after I pursue my Degree in Business.

Then in secondary school, I have a thought of being an archeologist. Yes I know, what an ambition! I love history and I always want to learn and find out more about our world history and the history of each places. I believe each place lies a beautiful story behind them, even if some of them may filled with stories that involved blood and tears.

At that time, I thought if I failed to be an archeologist, perhaps I can be a geologist! Haha. Same reason, that is because I love geography. =) I remembered my mum almost gone crazy when I told her about this ambition.

I have another crazy ambition and this is the one that I am really into it. To be an astrophysicist! To study about the stars, the planets, the galaxies, the universe. It's just simply awesome!!! And I love reading materials on them, and yes I know it involves alot of calculation, physics but I still love it. Again, I told my mum that I want to be an astrophysicist. It is sad when she told me that if I am to work for NASA, I don't get to come back often. Oh yea, big dreams huh? I don't wanna work for Malaysia astronomy. I wanna study even more deep on these. Another crazy ambition I would say.

It just cross my mind that most of my ambitions are related to the nature. Perhaps I have this little connection with nature, that's why I love them. If u ask me whether I am still into these ambitions of mine now, I would say YES, and I am still hoping that I can do the stuff I like instead of taking up business. Somehow, not everything goes your way but at least I'm glad to know there is something that I really like to learn about.

There, my childhood ambitions. What is/are yours? Do share a little with us. =)

Chinese New Year House Visiting

As promised in my previous post, this post will be about my CNY celebration. I know it is a tad bit too late, but something is at least better than nothing right? First day was as usual, the same ol' routine that never fails every year. To the temple, aunt's house, grandaunt's house, granduncles house and back home.

For your information, I seldom go for house visiting at my friends place, but this year is exceptional.

First stop: Val's house

Val and I and Chun Hwee's "pet"

Chun Hwee's house

Audrey's house where we took countless of silly photos.

and then we took a walk around MP and of course took more pictures together. Hahahaa. We are such a vain pot.

Somehow all of us got hungry even after eating so many kuih raya at each house, hence we dropped by Sushi King for some "light" meal... yea.. really "light" I can say. Haha. Not forgetting posing and looking stupid for the camera again. I bet the next table somehow got sick of us because we placed the camera at the edge of their seats. Hahaha.

Overall this year CNY has been a great one because:
1) My ang pao this year is MUCH more than last years despite the current economy recession. I wonder why my relatives are so generous this year. Oh well~ at least they help to stimulate the economy. LOL. Of course not.

2) More gambling session =D Never fails but I guess I lost quite alot during the first three days.

3) Lotsa bak kuas and kuih raya. Haha. Never fails to make me fatter. The weird thing is people questioned me on why am I getting thinner recently. Hmmm.. At least it's a good thing =D

Unsolved Mystery

How strange can it be when one day you found out that a few of your clothes went missing? You start wondering thinking maybe they are in the laundry or probably in the ironing basket. It's even more strange when you don't find them in either the laundry or ironing basket. There's when I yelled at my mum " Mummy! did u see my brown trench dress? The belt its here but the dress is not. " Then I realized that another white top of mine went missing... along with my white skirt and grey tube. Hmmm.. Have been searching in and out, up and low, in every single cupboard and in every possible places in the house but was to no avail.

It made me go crazy to the level I started telling lydia that my clothes might get stolen by the toyol (lil ghost). Exactly, non-sensible at all; and she came up and said why in the world toyol wants to steal your clothes? They steal moneys! Errmm.. probably they like my clothes?? Who cares what are the reasons! It's possible okay! Gosh gosh.. I'm feeling stupid right now~ *knocks head*

Anyhow I will try my second attempt to hunt for my missing treasure and I am to bring them back one day! Yes I will! There's a slight intuition telling me that there is a slim chance that my mum dumped my clothes away. You know she did it once when a few of my clothes got stained during laundry, and say nothing about it until I asked for my clothes. Hmmm.. mystery mystery mystery~ Oh no! I think I just remember I don't see another white top of mine in my cupboard recently... DANG!!!!
