Reality hits

You know that moment when everything becomes a bit too real. When all the dreams become reality, when all the hard work comes to fruition, when all the fantasies become your life. That moment when you don't want to say "I wish" anymore, because it won't make a difference. That moment where the flame of hope for a different life, become embers and gradually die down. The moment when your eyes feel opened up to see that you have reached, your current future, is NOW. The present doesn't seem so real anymore.

That moment is now.

The beginning of the end

I vow that from this day onwards I shall blog every 2 days. IJN. Amen.

So, every time I start a post, I will begin with a brag of how many hours of studying I did today. Today, I did Zero. Shame. Shame.

So, a summary of my time since the last post.

1. I finished my final semester and got one re-sit. Passed all the other subjects well.
2. I had a short holiday spent with the new friends I made.
3. Went to Langkawi Island though there was some "mchanga in that kitumbua" I did have a fun time with great friends. So so many memories.
4. Submitted my passport for the last time for visa renewal.
5. Started studying for my re-sit.
6. Went through some serious bumming and chilling.
7. Went for clubbing a couple of times.
8. Successfully organised and catered for about 400 Africans in Malaysia at my church City Harvest Church KL .
9. Said farewell to a good friend of mine. Hopefully we shall meet again.
10. Joined and dropped put of organizing committee for an event in school.
11. Joined the committee for Emerge NEON 2012 .
12. Had a good 3 months of reflection and life decisions made.

It has been a fun three months since I last blogged. My family is healthy. My sisters are still hilarious. My mum got me through a tough moment. I do believe it was really tough, but it wasn't my toughest moment yet. If I can go through a break-down of relationships with different people without sitting down to wallow, I know my strength isn't my own. I thank God for strength, and for making me encounter someone to help me through.

Just a sneak peek of what's ahead for me.

Oh, and in an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle,

And of-course, ;)

Cheers to the last half of the weekend!

Blogging Challenge Day3: My Day(in great detail)

So, as today would be the perfect day to blog this, because my day was long and tedious. So, generally it is my fault for postponing stuff for so long but, oh well, life goes on.

So, lemme start at 12a.m, I had just come back from Nilai Talent Night which was a blast thanks to the hardworking crew of LO Tomorrow club led by Mike, Jonah, and mates. So, I got home with a headache the size of Northern and Southern Sudan before they split, and I was super hungry. So after a debate with myself over Crash vs. Eat something first, I decided to eat something first. So, open the fridge, surf, analyse, close the fridge. Tea and biscuits it is. And it was.
So, I drank the tea and biscuits, while anticipating my soaked jelly beans. Ref to 9gag.com and the post below:

So, after savoring the gummy bears, though they were not so sweet anymore, I decided to watch family guy!((instead of working on my project!)). I fell asleep quite quickly after that. I set my alarm for 9.07am, but I jerked awake at 7.45am, then 8.22am. I couldn't go back to sleep so I just browsed until 9.10 or thereabout, then I went and bathed, did my 50 crunches in the shower(soooooo relaxing). I browsed some more, then, started on my VHDL report. I did almost all of it before packing all my project equipment and rushing off to school. 

Upon reaching school, i swiftly got to work, and after moments of despair and almost giving up, I managed to solve a problem in my VB.NET programming. As one of my classmates, T commented that I was now a pro with VB.NET *smiles to self*. Thank you Google!

Oh, and my lecturer conviniently pointed out that I had done next weeks work, and not the one due. So I compromised and begged her not to reduce my marks. We'll see.

Later one of my classmates and good friends came to help me prepare my PCB board, and we took over 2 hours for something I thought would take 30minutes. He was so so precise! Anyway, so at around 5pm, i dipped my board into the acid and it was supposed to take over one hour for the process to be complete. So here I am, praying that my God would quicken the process. 6pm--->lab closes.. Here I am still praying. Then Mr.Kindhearted lab supervisor says "Its okay! I'll wait.." *hugs him in my head* *tightens hug* After I mumble a 'thank you', I start the thank you prayers to God. See He doesn't always work in the way we anticipate. He's awesome like that.

So, after overstaying and remaining in the lab alone for 50 minutes extra, I finally finish. With cold hands, and a half done list of to do's, I drag my feet back home. I think of having a sandwich for dinner, so I drag myself a bit further(even almost missed the turn cos I wasn't looking) and go to the local grocery/convenience store and buy 3 buns. I reach home barely open the door, even almost missed my neighbor's greeting even though he was right next to me!

I sit down, put my phone on the charger, (Darn BB battery) then I hang out with my housemates, oohing and getting giggly over some boys that have been making our lives all swoon and mushy. 

The rest of the day was spent with a very close friend who deserves a separate post. I know that God doesn't work with coincidences and right now, I am happy to have found this friend to help me deal with some things and distract me from feeling bad and wallowing in my emotions. He/she is really a fine person.

That's all. Every single day of mine is kinda unique and its special to have people around me that care and give me the wake up calls I need when I need them.

Career Cries

By cries, I mean, tears-cries. Its been a long winding 3.5 years for my degree. I was initially supposed to go only 3 years, but we cannot plan failure can we? I keep on getting the weirdest wake-up calls to buck up and work a bit harder until I finish. Like yesterday, I wrote this test, which left me totes flabbergasted. I mean, it was my fault because I didn't study for it, and I felt like crap after it. You know the crap that's always underneath all the other crap. That crap LVL is what I felt. Despair.
But, hey, we learn from our mistakes and moving on!! The next attempt should be on point. No procrastinating, No assuming the simplicity of engineering. (Why did I ever?)

I will soon be an engineer. At least that's my goal. But, I gotta make it happen the right way. No more dulling. Laziness SHINDWE!

Engineering is kinda kicking my tush, but I plan on kicking its own even harder before I leave Uni. 5 more months in this place, gotta watch this space. :-/

psssst. cake please?

I have had numerous 'periods' of cravings, ranging from a week craving carrots, to a month on Nata-De-coco. Now, it has elevated, am almost at a month of having my-tongue-wants-to-taste cake.

I have tried to curb the craving by eating pasta and sandwiches, but it isn't helping(Ehm, was it supposed to help???) Face palm. I also tried looking at cakes on the net..

..and drawing them, and even eating some, lakini craving haiishi! (the craving isn't ending!) Argh! Argkh!
Then, I love this tart with cream and strawberries. I need the recipe. Oh, and an oven. *the life of a student. fml.

Oh, and just before I go get myself a piece of American chocolate cake(loading on the calories) I do love fruits. Like, I would die eating fruits. This combination is just genius.

Happy belated Valentines. I didn't even do the long distance version. Eish, where's that chocolate cake and my tea?
