breathe in..

breathe out.

aunty may says 'communication is key'.

so im gonna do this with an open mind.

with swear words.

now inhaleee.....

lookin' up

thank u thank u dear Pablo for ur latest post. it gave me the semangat i needed to do my essays.

2 days ago, my situation was -sh*tloads of readings and zilch essays and watever.

today - 2 books down, 2 essay outlines out and one in progress. yippeee!!!

obviously i'd need to read the books again since i only did a skimming marathon thing just so i'll get the gist of wat peter fitzpatrick is saying. but pokoknya i think i get him better now and im not mental abt it anymore. the doa in the previous post must've worked too. thank u guyys!

so now, i tink wat peter is trynna say is that he believes law is imperialistic but not racist. hmm.. i'll need to get my head round that tho. haha bcoz theres still the many complicated law jargon but at least now i kinda get what he's at.

anyhoo, i woke up today all happy bcoz im not weighed down by my panic anymore. the weather looks fine today so im gonna go jog soon. as soon as my ipod finishes charging. hehe i was abt to go tdi when i realise my ipod's dead. so gotta revive the lil' baby before i go off to use up some happy energy.

my new shelf is arriving today too. today is looking up pretty well. and i've also heard 'through the grapevine' (i got this from my obs2 question. buleh they use words like that? bukan style lama kah tu?) that there are some juicy and dirty gossip about. wont talk abt it here obviously, and i shudnt feel too happy abt it since it concerns a fren whom i love dearly, but im a girl and im sorry to say, juicy gossip like this makes my day!

okay, adang kan mengumpat. now with my work almost out of the way im starting to look forward again to my weekend break to london. but im hoping it wont be an absolute break ie i wanna do some work over the weekend. i'll see most of u guys this sunday, yes?

last, but not least, i just wanna remind my special someone that i love u everyday =) cant wait to see u in december.

much love

dear 'exercise buddy'

i just read apip's blog. she went jogging ystrdy.

while i had a donut. TWO donuts actually. one from bake n' bite and another from tesco's, the custard-filled one.

damn u, pip!! i wanted to go jogging *sob*

i'd jog today but it says its gonna rain. 'shower' more like. sudah tah sajuk. boooooo.

i cant wait to get back on my treadmill with the view of jame' assr and watch E! news.

saya stress jua. pasal i dont bloody understand what peter fitzpatrick is trynna say and im suppose to write an essay about his critical legal work. not only do i have to explain wat his work is about, i also have to criticize his work.

critic 1 : unintelligible. should use simple english for thick daft ppl who dare take philosophy of law (ie me)

critic 2 : too complex. should use short sentences to convey meaning directly.

critic 3 : whhhhhhyyyyy do u have to have sooo many opinions on critical legal studiesss??

hmmpf. mentel bunyinya eh. maybe i can get away with saying those stuff. after all, steve said he valued opinions more than content. at least, thats what i remember..

i am waist-deep in work; 3 essays and 1 test in less than 3 weeks. and im squeezing a london trip this weekend. thank god theres 2 secret santas and the xmas dinner to look forward to. which reminds me, since i keep forgetting to ask bee, wats the menu for the xmas dinner?

now lets do this praying stuff again like we did last time

'Ya Allah, selamatkan Rabiatul Adawiyyah and berikanlah ia kesabaran dan bukakan lah mindanya agar dpt membuat kerjanya dengan aman, tenang dan lancar. Ameen'

thank u guys! esehmen. buleh jadi cigu malay bah nie lol.

donuts!

today is a historic day of all historic days. essentials have started selling their iced donuts again! well, they prolly sold them since last mth or sumthing but the point is, i got one today and it was deeelliisssh in every bite.

but the price went up from 65p to 69p. damn u donuts! last year it was 60p! they went up early this year but not 69p?? wat'll it be next yr, a quid?

i only got one, whereas last yr i'd usually get 2.. or 3. haha not bcoz of financial matter, but because of, erm, waist matters.

anyhoos, i also went up to the library and yet agen, someone had to help me get in. its a sign that me and libraries dont mix. i cant ever get into the templemen library w/o a fren, the security guard or the person behind me having to help me get in. bee says its like an exclusive niteclub, i need someone to get me in. which is sad reli, becoz i never reli liked the library in the first place. but this time, its a necessity. i dont think i can get away with not going to the library at all in the first term like i did last year. not if i want a good grade for my philosophy of law.

anyhoo, me and nis were talking about the library and why we dont like it. yes ppl, there are such things as law students and libraries that cant mix. for one thing, the library makes u study bcoz everyone else there has their nose buried in not just one, but usually 2 or 3 books, with more books piled high near them. that picture im not comfortable with. i need a relaxed environment to study and a bit of noise. i cant study with music on, but total silence is more deafening to me. i'd rather have the hum of my laptop or the faint music from jem's room than have total silence.

that said, i cant stand having other ppl study around me and be so quiet. how can so many people in one room not make any noise? the thing is, im okay with group discussions. talking, i can handle. silence, no!

plus, i was saying to anisah that its my competitive nature that drives me away from the library. the many students hidden behind books, instead of spurring my competitiveness, drives me away bcoz i knw that cant be like that. and i cant stand being the 'loser'. im not saying i cant be like that bcoz im lazy. im saying i cant be like that bcoz its quiet. and i get fidgety. i have to move all the time and that'll just annoy the others, wont it?

so i got to the library, got my books, and went out of there pronto. oh, and then i got my donut. yummy!

anyhoo, i've done enough procrastinating from eating my donut with absolute relish. u cud see this crazy gleam in my eye when i saw the donuts in essentials lol. i took my time this time bcoz i only got one and i dont wanna overdo the donuts agen, not unless i wanna be the size i was in may.

aand now that im done dissing libraries (or actually, the ppl who go thre) its time for me to bury myself in books. but this time, with the accompanying buzz of skype and the low hum of the radiator.

much love,

I want..

1. Dior Addict 2 Summer Peonies
2. Dior Addict Eau Fraiche
3. Anna Sui Secret Wish

i shudve brought my dior addict from brunei. oh well, sama jua kan balik.

i got my presents for the society and house secret santa. so then i shudnt be shopping anymore. the presents are all wrapped up in very lawa-ness wrapping paper hehe.

going out for dinner tonite! YAYYY! its been forever since i've been out for food. because our fridge is so well stocked. hehe.

then thres work. kenapa i always blog when thres work?

early weekend

i took the initiative to start my weekend early. i bunked off my friday classes.

actually, they're only lectures and they're online, so as long as i listen to them, i'll be fine.

so here i was, listening to ystrdy's lecture which i missed (i had period cramps, okay?) and then i found out the recording was only for about 2-3mins? nick jackson hadnt even got to the meat of the lecture. so now i dont knw wat im gonna do abt it. property is one of those modules that i cant help but hate. actually, hate's too strong a word. its just too confusing. and i thought reading abt it would help, but nooo` bcoz the author of the book decided it would be improper if we use a language that students could understand. we're gonna use the complicated confusing kind of language that will make ur life hell.

anyway, thats my take. but i knw some ppl do like, even love, property. so to each his own. bee, i knw u read this, so help me, pls!

besides property, i enjoy my other modules. family law is reli interesting, altho i dont knw how i'll do for the test in 3 weeks time. its an essay question, so i'll be depending on my GOG ie gift of the gob, which also means, cheat ur way thru bs-ing. but its reli fun bcoz some of the modules inter-relates, like family has a bit on property, stuff abt on divorce, how property is divided and etc.

obs2 is the most straightforward (in my opinion) of all my modules. what is obligations 2? its the art of suing. haha i dont knw if its just the evil in me who loves suing every lil' b*stard for every wrong they've done or if its my kesian natre to ensure the victim gets everything they're worth, but i love obs2 =D

now, my fave module of all so far, first year modules inclusive, is philosophy of law. sure, its a whole lot of gibberish and loads of metaphors but i like that all isnt all about facts but something deeper. ystrdy we went wayy deep in philosophy talking abt metaphysics and im sure everyone in the lecture room had reli bangang looks on their faces. steve (the lecturer) even went as deep as mentioning about islam and how ppl dont understand terrorists becoz they dont understand the religion. because today's society is all abt the physical that we find it simply crazy and bonkers when a religious belief is taken to that extreme. personally i tink suicide bombers are a bit extremists but being a muslim myself, i kinda of understand where they're coming. then steve went on abt how when the western ppl try to understand islam and read the Qur'an, more often that not, they convert. omgd THAT statement just made my day. i know im not a pious or maybe even that good of a muslim, but when i hear about new converts my heart just swells up with love =)

the problem with my lecture and seminar with steve ystrdy was that i was being attacked aggresively by my period cramps. so there i was in class, trying to sit still and not twist my body and having make do with clenching my fists and biting my lips to overcome the pain. but it was an interesting lesson nevertheless.

oh yes, i also left my file at my previous class b4 the one with steve, so i cudnt write any notes properly bcoz i had no paper. i wasnt biasa enuf with my seminar mates to ask for paper and the one person i biasa came late. i've been leaving stuff a couple of times now. first it was my bag, now its my file. cmon ppl, i actually left my bag! that is the one thing a girl NEVER goes without. in there is her lifeline, her fone, her money, her umbrella, her emergency Ms, her mirror!

but yes, i did leave my bag. i forgot. talur jua tu. and i've been feeling lethargic lately. i miss my gym so much. well its more the exercising that i miss. but now i gotta focus on my work and essays and i cant find the energy to fit both work and exercise into my schedule. im gonna go try jog tomoro tho. we'll see how the weather is tomoro. and how late/early i get up.

now i need to go research on my philosophy of law essay. looking forward to it! was planning to go to the library but i dont tink i wanna walk uphill in the rain.

much love,
