Missing home

I feel antiosocial. I'd rather stay in my room so that I don't have to mumble out a very fake 'Hey, how's it going?' to my housemates. Heh. Antisocial betul.

I just wanna go home. I miss it. Ahhhhh. Tiffany's last post was not much help either. Wanna go home. Wanna go home. WANNA GO HOME :(

Hahahaha... funny!

Ask!

Amazing. Time and time again He amazes me. What did He do this time...I've been having some problems recruiting high school students to participate in my research. Mainly because to get the students, we (my supervisor, my research partner and I) have to email high schools, send in our proposals and wait for them to agree to allow their students to take part in my research. Needless to say, they were less than interested in what we proposed and we didn't hear from any of them. Which was not surprising, since the research wouldn't benefit them in any way.

We were getting rather worried because our research totally depended on that sample of participants. And after weeks, they still hadn't even replied to the email. Plus, we had to include the school's in the ethics applications.

So... no permission = no ethics approval = no research = oh no! big trouble = fail honours year = live of my parents forever and ever. Muahahahahahha *evil grin, rubs hands together*

So yes, we were getting worried. THEN, yesterday during OCF prayer meeting, the research project was prayed for and commited to God - just a simple prayer, a humble prayer. Nothing fancy.

And today, TWO out of the four schools contacted us saying that they would be glad to allow their students to take part in my research! After weeks of ignoring our requests! Waahhhh. So cool! Coincidence? I think not.

All I needed to do was to commit it to God. To just ask. And He provided. Wow!

Conversations with Mom

Mom: Hey, guess what happened.
Me: What?
Mom: Guess lah....
Me: Lazy lah, tell me only la.
Mom: Your brother's prized star tortise died.
Me: Har.. which one? What happened?
Mom: The smallest one. Probably starved to death.
Me: So what did he do with it? I suppose he can't say a prayer and pull the toilet flush like he did to his fishes due to the hard shell.
Mom: Oh no la, he didn't flush it down the toilet.
Me: Then?
Mom: He buried it in the neighbour's flower pot.

And you think I'm weird...

Today

Today I woke up at 6.30 am, had breakfast and went back to sleep.

Today there was a super macho guy, wearing a balck macho guy shirt with black macho guy sungalsses on the bus learning super not macho guy Italian/German/French verbs like 'to dance', 'to smile', to sing'. So not matching.

Today I went to the police station and the Mr.Policeman said that I was a good girl.

Today I had to walk 40 minutes to a camera shop that specializes in SONY cameras.

Today SONY conned me of $25. Super cut-throat lahhh... 25 bucks just for a quote of how much the repair is going to cost. Pretty sure the repair is going to cost lots more... Ahhh..Magic fingers....

Today I went to collect my graduation cert. Only to be told that it's been put in the uni archives.. hahahhaha....

Today I realised that I like the bad guys in movies. I like Sylar in Heroes. I liked Scar in The Lion King. I liked Harry Osborne in Spiderman. I like Lex Luther in Smallville. And I loved Sher Khan in the Jungle Book.

Today I couldn't help but smile at the father and daughter who were sitting by the kerb.

Today I stuck out my toungue at a cute little baby boy who was looking at me (No, he didn''t cry. Yes, he was looking at me coz I'm very pretty).

Today I walked round the city for two and a half hours.

Today I blew bubbles in the air. Haven't done this since I was five, I think.

Today I set myself a goal - to publish my honours research paper.

Today I realised that I'm becoming more confortable with my classmates and my housemates. I now actually talk to them...

And today, I realise that I need to do my laundry, otherwise I will not have anymore underwear for the day after tomorrow
