because of this recent joblessness (and despite the mountain of housework that i promise myseld i'd do), i am currently playing 2 games on facebook back to back like i have no life. 3 out of 4 of my hsemates still have exams (and 2 of them finish today so hurray!) and the 4th one still has a project to do. in other words, i am alone in this idleness called summer holidays (for now).
so facebook has been my sanctuary, as sad and pitiful as that may sound. i've been playing restaurant city and sorority life, in addition to watching the biggest loser and britain's got talent (where shaun smith is super sexy! and aidan! omigod cant believe i have a crush on a 12 yr old!).
but of course, exercising my butt off is priority still, especially when 3days ago illah came back from her london daytrip with not one, but two dozens of krispy kremes. now if i had just the original glazed ones, then it wouldnt be so bad. but noo0o~ i just had to have the cream-filled one, the jam-filled one, the caramel one and the strawberry glazed and jam-filled summer edition one. its like i lose my will when i see a box of krispy kreme varieties! mind u, the original glazed ones dont really do it for me. prolly coz i used to eat so much of them back in first year. its weird, huh? after so much hard work of losing the pounds and kilos i am still strongly drawn to the sugar coated fried carbs called donuts.
anyway, we're having a bbq tomoro to celebrate everyone's freedom! rushmeads will be hosting and providing the chicken and essentially the bbq food, bramshaw girls will be doing mee goreng/nasi goreng (i'm not sure which) and my house will be doing wat we do best: cupcakes! hehe so with all that happening, i need to work extra hard on the training because i will not deprive myself of enjoying all the heavenly delicious food!
speaking of which, i've been having quite a dedicated group of exercise groupies ie vivi illah and zatee. but now they're all down with some sort of cold/sore throat etc. it was fun when there was 4 of us; bigger numbers just spur u on, y'know? but as for now, i'm back to my solo workouts. to be honest i'm quite worried abt vivi coz i may have pushed her too much. apparently she can hardly move her arms that she has to bend down to wash her hair as opposed to just raising her arms up.
well, she wont be feeling sorry once she get toned arms (which hopefully will happen in the next couple of months if she keeps this up).
i miss going to the gym so much. 8 more weeks till i get home and i promise the first thing i will do is get myself signed up to the gym again! such a loser move tho haha. okay next post will be about all the stuff i wanna/should do when i get back home for summer.
much love,
be'ah xoxo

Pieces of Me
a simple account of how i spent the bank holiday weekend, which was incidentally my first weekend of the summer holidays!
1) had a girls nite in at vivi's room with the ppl yg abis exam ie moi, illah, vivi and zatee. farah was a loser cause she cudnt make it =p we did facials, foot massages, eyebrow plucking and upper lip waxing.
funny story: vivi was very generous in putting soap into the foot soak machine that bubbles started to overflow. she saved the day by scooping out the bubbles, but zatee had the sense to tell me to just switch the machine off and therefore stop the bubbles.
anyway, illah is now our official waxer. ia handal berabis wax upper lip. and she says me and vivi took the pain in stride.. unlike a certain housemate of hers from last year, she said =p
2) me and the girls have been jogging and weight training. i really feel like im back at home at the gym, coz now theres 4 of us. ystrdy ptg i taught them yoga. it was fun seeing them sweat themselves silly. now who says yoga is easy, hah?
3) we have chicken now! i mean, asda hasnt been able to stock their halal chicken and the local kadai lingka pun nada stock but they just had some arrive last week so we've have chicken tomato risotto, nasi ayam and ayam kari. yummmy~ never thought i'd miss chicken so much. but maybe its 'cause illah cooks chicken so0oo good!
4) i've been cleaning my room. specifically my books. will never see those law books again ever! (haha apakan. nanti beguna menyasaaal d panyap jauh2x dalam2x)
5) we're back to baking! illah made some hummingbird cupcakes, as a tester and taster (haha) for this saturday's bbq. i've also been baking brownies. now abis sudah milo fuze. but its hard going back to cocoa because brownies with milo is just so gooey and chocolatey and nyaman!
6) thanks to nav, i am now addicted to sorority life. i never understand the boyfriend whenever he plays those games on facebook skali naaah~ sama tia jua. and i tink i wanna try looking into restaurant city as well. after all, i've got the time hehe.
anyway, thats basically my routine. exercise, baking and sorority life. this weekend we're having a bbq to celebrate the start of summer holidays for everyone. cant wait for that, esp for bbq chicken!
much love,

its time to
PAAAAAARRRR-TAY!
apakan. when we party its the loser kind plg.. like hang around in front of the tv playing games rather than the wild dancing sampai subuh thing. tua sudah bah kami anie. jgntah party2x miatu. HAHA.
anyway, i finished my last paper kelmarin and somehow the moment i finished writing the last sentence on my last essay in the exam hall, lady marmalade started playing in my head.
how random, huh? at least i didnt sing it outloud. i had 15mins to spare towards the end of the paper; my arms were cramped from writing for 2hrs45mins straight but i couldnt proper stretch lest the examiner comes over thinking i need more paper or go to the loo.
(speaking of which, i never ask for more paper. my handwriting's always been small. like paling2x pun i use the whole booklet but more likely theres a couple pages still unused)
so there i was, with time to kill. after re-reading my essays and watnot, lady marmalade was still playing in my head. if i put my elbows on the desk, my legs were able to hang from my seat.. so i decided to kill the rest of the time swinging my legs in tempo to lady marmalade. i have short legs so i was reli having fun. mcm main rollescoaster dlm kerusi sendiri. sad kali, but if u've read the last post, i was a jumble of nerves. after finishing my essays, i was just soo anxious to leave! i never do leave no matter how early i finish, coz i may remember something during the time i swing my legs and stuff.
i was kinda afraid if the invigilator would tagur me to stop swinging my legs. i guess they never thought of that since everyone else's legs are so panjang they cant swing it. but nobody tagured me so there i was swinging to my hearts' content while the music in my head switched to britney's my prerogative.
i just realised i never reli talk about the voices in my head. now its 2 posts in a row.
anyway, once time was up, i managed to not do a jiggle there and then. bida jua tu org pakai tudong skali terus2x menari. haha. the sun was out, so i popped on my shades and walked home with jason mraz's geek in the pink playing in my head. (the voices in my head are good.. i dont need an ipod after all!) walking back i had the urge to sing, but i didnt wanna do a jirin and there were other ppl walking around anyway. i dont mind singing outloud in public if theres illah or someone else, but singing alone is a no-no. so every now and then i'd let out bursts of song, just for the sake of it.
sudah balik, everyone was in the kitchen. nis turned to me and said, 'eh orang abis exam ah. i've got good news for u. bills are here.'
skali ilang tia my itunes in my head.
i havent watched american idol. vuina's streaming was slow, yatah nda sempat tengok lastnite. so we're just gonna catch the one on itv2 tonite. so please dont put whoever won on ur fb. be courteuous! hehe.
okay i'mma go for a jog now. trying to double my usual distance this time.
much love,

final countdown!
in aproximately 5hrs i will be done done done with uni! (or my degree, havent reli decided on masters yet)
having a paper in the afternoon reli gets to me. i'm a morning person, so having to wait the whole morning for afternoon to come is making me restless. i set my alarm for subuh, did a bit of studying, then tried to get back to sleep after the sun came up. to no avail. my eyes just wouldn't stay shut. so i gave up on sleep since i wasnt that tired anyway. i believe its the adrenaline; like, i just wanna get this done and over with!
so i woke up and contemplated about going jogging. the sun was up and bright, the weather was warm: i didn't need much persuading after checking out how warm it is today. oh, the best thing abt waking up early was that i got to see the boyfren on skype b4 he left for footie =) talking to him makes me less nervous. wud've been better to see mum but she's working at the mo' so yea.
oh! speaking of which! the boyfren just texted~
haha apakan.
anyway, i went out for a jog. a measly 10mins, but enough to ease my nerves. came back and did a quickie workout on the weights and finished b4 10am. so after mandi and lalalala (its the nerves i tell u. apakan lalalala anie??), i did a quickie mental check on how much i knew on mental capacity, abortion, euthanasia, ARTs. i tink if someone else were to see, it wudve been freaky. it was basically me having the voices in my head talk. haha.
after that, i reasoned that this is the best that i can do. so i'm done with revising. went to check facebook hee. but very very quickly, okay! gawd theres so much stuff i wanna comment on and stuff. speaking of which, theres this quiz that tells u ur ideal weight based on ur height and mine was 46.8kg. hmm.. that was my weight last year, is all i can say =p
i was thinking of stopping by at perez but i've been so very very good at not checking his blog for the whole of exam period that i think, whats a few more hours anyway? after all, come 5 oclock (or 6, when i get home), i can check facebook and peres hilton to my heart's content! and bake! and revise a new dumbbells workout!
entah sampai kah inda tu haha. but i seriously need to work my ass off. i'm currently slightly heavier than i was when i made my graduation baju. truth be told, i think i'm the same size, just that i have toner muscles. but hey, it doesnt hurt to lose some extra pounds. plus, if say, i lose more than i need for the graduation baju, i can stuff my face!
haha. which is more likely to happen since my family will be around in july. and also the boyfriend! hehe cant wait. it'll be his first time seeing my nini from my mum's side. i doubt he's nervous tho. at least he's met my family. i havent even had the guts to meet his parents. but this summer i promised him i'd meet them, so its happening this summer: meet the prospective-in-laws.
anyhoo, can u tell that this post is random? 2 more hrs till my paper starts, and another 3 until this is over.
oh oh! american idol is tonight!!!
k imma go have lunch. promise my next post will be less random. or more structured at least.
much love,

less than two!
if my buyai is reading this, she'll say 'sampat lgi anak anie blogging. exams nda lgi batah!!'
hehe.
well, i doubt she'll read this until after my exam pasal she doesnt think i'll be blogging at this time. but on the contrary, here i am, just 3 days away from my first paper and less than 2weeks from my last.
putting it like that does make me panic slightly, but i think i deserve a break because ystrdy was an exceptionally productive revision day despite watching biggest loser and american idol and cleaning the bathroom. hey, i am superwoman after all. (truth be told, i cleaned the toilet because it calms me down, scrubbing and polishing and mopping clears my head. too much law in one go is a no-no).
also, atiq says to just chill. because the stressed mind cannot cope with cramming information. krg jadi gila. anyway, its too late to be stressing. i need to focus on whatever info i have and make sure i can gurgle it all out in 3hrs.
i've been trying to train for my 5km run but my point reli is that i need sponsors. so please click on any of the race for life buttons here and please please please sponsor me!
i've been alternating the days i revise with exercising and doing my essay. i found that i couldn't exercise and revise at the same day because i work best subuh onwards and i prefer to exercise mornings too. the routine's worked well so far. i've written about a quarter of my essay and this way i still get my exercising done, what with the extra food i've been eating. thres just something about revision that makes u eat more. actually i've read somewhere that thinking makes u want to eat more. tapi talor plg that article coz it was implying that if u dont think, then u dont eat much and u stay slim. like wth?
this morning i got a taste of how it feels to actually help and train someone during exercise. me and illah went out to the back garden after our jog, set up mats and did weights. somehow working out with a friend made it easier and the weights seems less heavy. she wants to do this every weekend so i hope we stick with this coz besides being exercise, it was super-fun too. she wanted to see my weights routine and i was more than happy to show her. she's strong too, that girl. prolly coz she used to swim alot.
it made me even more convinced that i want to be a trainer. sigh~ one can dream ey? iasked her at the end of the session 'illah, will u pay me?' and she just laughed it off. of course i asked in jest, but to earn money that way would've made me look forward to work everyday.
but hey, who ever heard of a gym trainer with a law degree?
wouldnt mind doing it on the side tho =)
i shall stop there before the post gets too serious. this is supposed to be all light and fun, an outlet from the madness of revising hehe. i've never seen my desk so organised before. i usually do my work on my bed but i couldn't revise that way because i keep thinking i need a nap when i dont. so right now is the most that i can see the surface of my desk. usually i just dump my papers and books thre and pick up watever i need for skool the next day.
goodluck with exams, everyone. and sorry if this post is all over the place.
much love,
be'ah xoxo
