Stacks of books..

..they're everywhere in my room - arranged in stacks on my bed, on the floor, on the bookshelf, on the table... i have lots of books and not enough space to keep them *sigh*.

The room is a bit disorderly at the moment - too many things, so little time to sort them out (or throw some out >.<). It doesn't appear dirty or as if it was hit by a tornado though - the floor and table surfaces are not dusty and I make my bed every morning - it's clean hehe.

Anyway, I changed the template again. Blogger has new templates and I like them better. Since I've opened the blog, I thought I might as well post an entry. So I did.

Today I barely managed to do a 10 minutes exercise. I haven't had the chance (or will?) to exercise lately. Everyday is tiring. I usually go home feeling sleepy or very hungry or both haha. Even my face is having break-outs lately. It started since end of last year. I don't know, I never really had bad acne break-outs before. This time however, although they're more of small rashes-like pimples rather than the red, angry-looking acne, I think I'm having the worst skin condition I ever had.

My current wish-list:

1. Smaller, lighter laptop (which is easier to carry around) - will have to wait til I have enough savings ;P

2. Instax mini - hard to get from where i am now, will have to wait too ^^

3. A vacation..... (>.<)

I feel sleepy now. I must be tired. I even fell asleep in the bus throughout the trip home. I think I'm going to sleep in a few minutes - there goes my ambitious plan to read hahah. I'll try to wake up early (>.<)

P/s This coming Sunday is Father's Day - Happy Father's Day to my dearest dad! ^^ also to both my grandfathers and all great fathers and father-figures in the world. May God bless you.

May

It's one of my favourite months.. or used to be.

I don't know, every month feels the same lately ^^

Anyway, Mother's Day falls in May, so Happy Mother's Day to my dearest mom. When I feel overwhelmed, bored or even out of place, she's the one I always call (sometimes if I call dad, he'll still pass the phone to her anyway haha). I wish her health and joy and may God bless both her and my dad (and also my grandparents..I know I'm blessed to still have all of them..)

May also happens to be the month of Rosary, but I haven't made time to pray the Rosary even once yet. Hmm.. I got busy? So busy to even spare half an hour for that? Oh no, I shouldn't be that way (>.<) I'll make time. I definitely will.

May is also the month of the Harvest Festival ^^ Kaamatan (Kadazandusun - Harvest Festival) used to be one of the celebrations I look forward to when I was in school. It usually falls during the school holidays so my family would usually drive from Sandakan to Tambunan to celebrate with my grandparents and relatives. That was nice. Since we lived far from Tambunan, we could only visit them once or twice a year (the other time being Christmas in December, which also falls during the school holidays). So balik kampung becomes one of the main highlights for my siblings and I. In that 7 to 8 hours trip (depending on which route we take) , my dad usually made stops at various interesting places including Kundasang, Poring, waterfalls or fresh river banks, etc. We enjoyed those trips...

It may be different now. May might not be the time where I get holidays, vacations, rest, or meet my family and get surrounded by some special people who knew me since I was little and love me in spite of who I am, but I still get this sort of relaxed feeling when I think I'm in the month of May. I guess I took a trip down the memory lane for a moment there ;P Well, since it's May, it's also the time of the year when I turn a year older.. age-wise hohoh. The heart is still lively, but the physique is getting fatter and wrinkled hahah.. yeah whatever shirley ;P

Yes, I haven't updated the blog for quite sometime. Just came back after holiday more than 2 weeks ago and plunged straight into a hectic schedule. Welcome to the new phase!! >.<"

Will probably have lesser time to update but I'll try to when I can and if I feel like it heheh. I'll probably post about my recent holiday (with pictures) if I could make time for it.

I'm a bit tired today since I arrived home a bit late after lectures - had dinner and went to Reliance TimeOut where I bought an emergency lamp and a Kannada movie DVD with subtitles hahahah. Let's learn how to speak Kannada!! I watched a bit after I had my shower a while ago - ermmm I still have a long way to go before I can have a proper conversation or exchange more than a few sentences with the locals (especially those whom don't speak English -_-"). Just as expected, I can't survive my clinical years knowing just English, but at present my level of communication with the non English-speaking locals is just like how you imagine a chicken and duck would communicate to each other hahaha...

Oh, I'm drained.. will be back again soon to bore anyone with more of my "stories" and a bunch of other nonsense ^^ Till then.
