Thank God It's Friday..

Alot of things have happened since that last incident and after alot of talks I think that I can safely say that things are gradually getting better..

Amneris' Letter by Shania Twain

I'm sorry for everything I've said
And for anything I forgot to say too
When things get so complicated
I stumble, at best muddle through

I wish that our lives could be simple
I don't want the world, only you
Oh, I wish I could tell you this face to face
But there's never the time, never the place
And this letter will have to do
I love you




It's been almost two weeks and I guess I've been gone a while.. I wanted to do this daily, but life has been hectic at my place and the phone line is always busy with one of the 10 girls calling their loved ones or being online almost every minute of their waking life. I feel like a stranger in my own home. I don't even sleep on my own bed anymore. My pillows my blankets are all being sacrificed to make my guests feel comfortable and they're taking it all for granted.. right now, I am the one taking the trash out, cooking and buying groceries for them.. things have been all dandy and I don't really mind helping them all out using my money to pay for their food and everything.. Tom has been standing by me through all this.. he even buys food for the girls just to lessen my burden, and spends his time with them to make them feel welcome..

my roommate treats herself as a guest in the house.. she runs away from all of her responsibilities and spend endless hours with her bf... and whenever she is home she does her stuff and pulls a face.. I can't wait til its september..when everything will go back to normal and my roommate is moving out..
Something happened yesterday that still haunts my mind today.. I think he was mistreated, he feels really bad and wants nothing to do with malaysians.. what happen was that Tom was trying to do something good by buying us some chicken but he doesn't know about all the halal deal..so before this I would just use the chicken that we do have instead of the one he brought in..and I was beginning to tell him about the halal deal little by little so that he understands it..but my roommate-from-hell barges in with her dirty claws jammed on her hips and said "You know what Tom, stop buying us stuff because you're buying the wrong kind of chicken and I'm just going to throw it away".. she has always seems cruel to my eyes and Tom thinks of her as a freak even from the first time he sees her, just because of the way she treats people but what she did seems so self centered as if she doesn't even care about other people's feelings at all.. Tom was really pissed off, he told me that it was his money and he was trying to help [to tell you the truth, even the water, bread, food and toilet paper that everyone in the house uses right now comes from Tom] and she shouldn't have said what she did, in the way that she did.. simply because she has never even said thank you for all that he has done in the past two weeks.. she, of all people has been treating him as if he doesn't belong there and right now Tom feels that all malaysians are like that..thoughless, arrogant people who takes things for granted and lives as if they are on top of the world. and it's not true.. I'm not like that.. I guess a drop of black ink does spoil a beaker of white milk.. he says that he doesn't want to come over anymore, and I'm sad not just because I won't see him anymore but also because he takes with him that ugly image of malaysians.. and it's not even true.. I have been trying to make him fit in and enjoy the company of malaysians and everything crumbles just because of one person..

TIRED..
21 juniors arrived yesterday... it was hectic at the airport..all those luggage and tired faces... I took 5 girls back to my.. 3 of us took a cab to my house while the other 2 came with Marcel.. then another 6 girls went straight to their new apartments.. and it's hard for me to manage them and also the girls at my house at the same time..so I just left them there knowing that they will have each other [the boys and also some seniors in the same apartment building].. I found out later that they went to buy groceries with Mizie.. and already cooked and ate..so that's a relief..
Anyway, with the new girls that was with me we just put our bags in the house and went out to eat..
Marcel was there so we all went to Holy Land and ate Gyros, Kebab and Chicken Sandwiches.. By the time we returned we started chatting.. I felt like I was being interviewed..they asked me so many questions about life in America.. Awin called later and asked me if I wanted to join them bowling..so I asked the girls if they wanted to sleep..and they were too tired, that sleeping was the only thing to do..
so I got ready and went out with Awin, Marcel, Wafi, Nadia and Khairi [the last three are new freshmans]..
when we got to the St. Paul StudentsCenter, we found that the bowling ally was closed all week..so the boys played pool..while I just messed about playing arcade games... I'm surprised that I was quite good at plying street fighter.
We stopped by downtown to buy some toffe popcorn and also at the boy's crammed house.. I arrived home at 6.30pm.
I found out that Tom came earlier just 5 minutes ago.. he was probably straight from work.. so I called his house and left a message for him to call me back..everyone was sleeping at the time..I was tempted to join them but didn't.. so I cleaned up the fridge and scrubbed the floor and kitchen.. I was feeling light boned, plus I knew that I wouldn't get a moment to myself like this until they're probably gone next month.

My roommate was out with her boyfriend again..so that ws a great relief..

Tom came around 8pm.. he brought with him food, enough to feed all 10 of us..mineral water, chicken and a big watermelon..we started cutting the watermelon up..the girls were starting to wake up and lining up to use the bathroom.. I baked the chicken and cooked rice.. we also cut up some salads to complete the meal..Tom and I went to rent a videos while we were waiting for the food to be cooked up.. we came back with 'O Brother.. where art thou?' and 'IQ' .. we ate while we watched the movie..
then at midnight, Tom and I went for a drive to show Nadia, Nadirah and Dias the new house that they might move into.. It was a very tiring day.. I went straight to sleep as soon as I got back because Phillipe called me up earlier and told me to open up again on Tuesday.. I wanted to say no but he said that his back is killing him these past few days... So being the nice girl that I am, I said yes..

The alarm went off at 4.30 but I was too tired to wake up.. when I did it was already 6..so I rushed to work..running most of the way.. I'm glad there's no supervisors around..

Nobody Wants to be Lonely

There you are, in a darkened room and you're all alone looking out the window Your heart is cold and lost the will to love Like a broken arrow Here I stand in the shadows Come to me, Come to me Can't you see that...

CHORUS
Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting for you all of my life Nobody wants to be lonely so why...Why don't you let me love you

Can you hear my voice, Do you hear my song It's a serenade so your heart can find me And suddenly your flying down the stairs Into my arms, baby

Before I start going crazy Run to me, Run to me Cause I'm dying...

REPEAT CHORUS

I wanna to feel you need me Just like the air you're breathin' I need you here in my life

Don't walk away, Don't walk away, Don't walk away, Don't walk away, no

Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry

REPEAT CHORUS


Went out to Downtown Hopkins witth Tom after work last night.. we watched Crazy/Beautiful, which was [I guess] a good movie but I didn't really enjoy it probably because I felt out of place.. people here probably haven't seem someone like me before and they were staring.. Tom kept telling me to take my scarf off so that I'd blend in.. I didn't though..it's not just a piece of clothing to me..it means more.. I felt really uncomfortable throughout the night just knowing that Tom was uncomfortable with being with me and having people staring at us.. it was awful.. maybe I shouldn't go out with him anymore.. I wonder why he wants to go out with me so much.. why he keep coming to my office and my house.. I hate this feeling.. I heard afew guy friends telling me once that if they were girls they would probably take it of..just because, they're in America..my roommate's mother told her to take it off in America, she didn't though..[she wants to but didn't, you can guess why..]..
this world is coming to its end..things are so lop-sided, tilted,so wrong.. lies are considered the truth; men looks,acts and talks like women; neglected Gods..idolized celebrities; it just doesn't make sense.. call me conservative but I think there should be limit to things... rules are NOT made to be broken..

I think I'm depressed today.. I had a bad night's sleep..probably cause I ate Maggi last night, that is just trash food.. I was just lazy last night when we came back at 10pm.. the girls slept through the day because they are still jetlagged from all the travelling. Anyway, I had to wake up early.. the alarm buzzed at 4:30 and I dragged my feet towards the bathroom and stayed there for the next 45 minutes..I just love long steamy showers.. by the time I'm dressed and ready to leave, everyone was still asleep except for Aneesa who woke up to pray.. I arrived at work at 5:45am..[right on time]..and have been here ever since.. I realised that I took Nora's contact lense and I'm waiting for her to bring me my contact lenses so that I won't have any problems at the airport.. which is exactly where I'm going at 9.30 today..no matter if the guy that replaces me comes or not.. there's about 24 new students coming today..I'll have to load them at my house again, before we pick up the keys to go to their proper apartment.. this is going to be hard, maybe I can't fit all the girls into my house.. my house is already a mess right now.. there's gonna be so many bags.. it's gonna look like a wreck..wish I didn't let Amani put her stuff in the house now.. what a mess!!

FRESHMAN ATTACK
Yes..the new Malaysian students are here..they arrived on the 10th at 6.48pm on Continental Airlines at counter E7..they were delayed about an hour [which is a norm]..but Aza, Bahi (a final year student from CMU), Lock, Awin and I waited for them nevertheless.. just two hours before the juniors arrived, two of our seniors left to return back to Malaysia at counter E14..Between that time we sat eating at Burger King..I was hungry cause I haven't had lunch, turns out that everyone was starving..heheh..we started loitering about as we were waiting..Awin bought some jet models from Discovery Channel store,while Bahi looked around in the Tie Rack which was having a sale.

The information board says that the flight from NEWARK will be landing on section E1..but it turns out that the juniors arrived at E7.. I was surprised at how all 9 of these younger students look so much older and matured than me..I mean they look like someone's parents.. there was 3 girls and 6 boys..We moved on to the baggage claim section downstairs and realised that one of thegirls' bags are missing..we filed a complain and went home.. the girls stayed at my house while they find somewhere to stay while the boys divided up and stayed at Amilin's and Fathi's house.

Yesterday another 16 students arrived at 10.30 am but I was working at the time so I still haven't had a chance to meet them yet.. Tom came to pick me up after work yesterday and we took the girls that stayed at my house out to a late lunch [at 4pm] then we went to the Mall .. I planned to go groceries shopping because we ran out of vegetables but Tom thought that the girls might wanna go to the mall to get something..since one of the girls lost her luggage.I didn't mind ..so we went anyway...by the time everything was done we arrived home at 10pm.. we were all hungry so I started cooking rice.. then out of the blue I felt like cooking nasi lemak[coconut rice].. so I taught Tom how to cook the rice, which is easy and the girls took over by making the anchovies sauce.. Faizan and Aneesa arrived later from RPI and Purdue..and I thought that they were staying for dinner, so Tom and I went to the store to get cucumber.. but they went out to Amilin's place..so the 5 of us ate (Tom, Aida, Nora, Has and I)..
As we started playing cards.. Fathi called and told me that a group of 5 Purdue students , who are all my friends from ppp, wants to come to my house for a visit..so I told them to come..
At 11.15 they arrived, half an hour later Awin and Marcel came ... it feels as if the house was having a party especially when my roomate and aneesa came back from Amilin's place...
The PARTY ended at 1.30 and soon everyone was getting ready to sleep.. but the new students are too excited to sleep..so I stayed up chatting with them..up until 4 am...when we finally slept.. however, I was surprised at how one of them woke up again at 5.30 and stayed awake all morning...
I guess they are excited to be in America... and that's natural!

I'M LIKE A BIRD
by Nelly Furtado

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true


Chorus:
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is


Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true

(Chorus)

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me, me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

It's been 2 days since I last updated this blog..and a lot of unexpected events have happened since then..
on Wednesday.. I went on a spontaneous trip to Madison, Wisconsin.. it was a tiresome trip just because it wasn't planned but it was great nevertheless.
Here's the story..
Right after woork on Wednesday, I went straight to the locker room to put all my stuff in there so that I can take a shower after I work out that morning.. it was pay day ..so I took my paycheck to the bank and went to Harvard Market for a breakfast snack.. then as I was strolling back to the gym, munching casually on my cheese pretzels,I saw Tom walking towards me.. I'm sure he came to the gym looking for me because he doesn't come here to work out [as far as I know].. this is already his third time here looking for me.. So we started talking, I told him that I'm thinking of working out for a while.. but after 10 minutes of catching up on the gym's walk way.. we decided to go somewhere else.. so I cancelled my date with the cycling machines and took my stuff out of the locker room.. we started heading towards Mall of America on Tom's red Toyota Camry..there seems to be so amny things to talk about and so we chatted all the way there.. when we got there we walked around in almost every section but not really going into any of the stores..or even looking at the manequin in the windows.. we talked gregariously as if we were old friends.. then feeling that the mall wasn't really a place to chat, we went to a Japanese Garden in Bloomington.. I didn't even know the place existed..but it does.. it was beautiful, reminds me of a garden I went to last year in Madison..so I told Tom about it and he asked me if I wanted to go there.. it sounds crazy at first.. but he was serious...
We went to his sister's house to get some food to take with us..then later we stopped at my place to pick up my camera..which unfortunately is at Awin's place.. [I left it there before we went to the Mall last week.].so we went to Awin's place to get it..and then we were off.. I already told Enna that we were coming through msn messenger amd so they were kinda expecting us..eventhough they have their summer finals the next day..
Well Tom and I left Minnesota at 2.30 and arrived in Madison at 8pm..walked around in State Street...then dropped over at Nini's place, ate pizza..and moved back home at 11.00
We arrived at my house at 5 am..we did stop to sleep in the car for an hour because we were just too sleepy..
I should be working at 8..but I woke up at 8.30am..Lock called to ask about the junior's keys.. anyway, I called Phillipe and he told me not to bother coming to work cause he's training Amanda, the new worker.
I should've stayed in madison for another day..instead of rushing home to work.. well it's too late now..

This usually what the Real Life is all about !!

It's a new style ...

If a driver makes a mistake,
It is an accident ...

If an employee makes a mistake,
It is a "MISTAKE"

Well I just finished another game of LITERATI... yes, I am addicted..hehhe..yesterday I played atleast 5 times.. it's only 9 o'clock and I've already played it twiice this morning..hehhe... last month it was monopoly..before that it was checkers..we'll just have to see how long this phase is going to last..

3.26 miles
133 Calories
20 minits
well what does all that mean you ask? yeah..that was yesterday's record on the cycling machine.. I used another machine and burned 162 Calories in 8 minutes.. i checked my weight and it went down to 105 lbs.. well that is good news.. I'm gonna give it another whirl today too.. right after work.

I didn't play badminton yesterday.. not that I didn't want to.. but Awin was too tired from water tubing the day before.. At around 4 I went to Aza's house yesterday because I didn't know what else to do..Awin just arrived too, so we lay around trying to put the 3D castle jigsaw pieces together while eating blackberry icecream.. after a while, I was diverging my attention to the Simpson's show on the television, Awin was on the couch asleep and Aza was the only one trying to complete the puzzle.. Later K.Ijah came and I went into Aza's room. I went to her room and started playing LITERATI again..Awin played with me..giving me ideas on how to construct new words..
When it was dinner time..we went to my house..I cooked chicken rice and we all ate together.. at 10 we went out to Blockbusters and rented 2 videos.. however we only watched one "Down to Earth".. I thought it was funny..
Midnight came and everyone left.. I prayed and went straight to sleep thinking about wat life is going to be like tomorrow....

Hurt Before
Music & Lyrics: Andrea Corr
Transcript: www.corrsonline.com


She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes
Loves her mum and her dad, the only secure that she knows
But at night, she's alone, she's dreaming of somebody new
Her someone for to hold, she's praying the dream will come true

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

There's a pain in her heart, she's trying so hard to unwind
Makes her cry in the night, when visions so real make her blind
Wants to break through the the fear
Erasing the scars from within
Start a new kind of being - she's down and she's praying again

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

You see she's -
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Stepping outside, with body and soul
Taking whatever future holds
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five
And you know we've all been hurt before

[Violin solo]

You see she's -
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Stepping outside, with body and soul
Taking whatever future holds
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five
And you know we've all been hurt before
Yeah we've all been hurt before
So you're not alone..., no...
You're not alone...




That's one of my favourite songs right now.. just a little bit like me.. I've been hurt.. felt a little scared..
But with time.. we learn to crack the shell, be reincarnated and live once more.. and so here I am..looking forward to life..every day.. feeling lucky that I'm here for another day...

As a young teenager, I used to be a fanatic reader.. I would read a novel a day and was one of the regulars at the local library..my sister shared the same love for reading and we would always go to the library together.. this was in those golden days when I lived in Leeds, England. But lately, I have been spending my time on other activities, and somehow reading feels more of burden than joy.. I tried to read atleast a novel a year.. even that was strenous last year.. this year, I have read 2 novels..that's an achievement actually..[ok..that sounds pathetic.. but that's me]..last night I finished a novel called 'Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas' by James Patterson. It's a romantic novel..not like any I've ever read before..it's about a mother's love to her child..such a sweet story.. makes me wanna be one too someday. I really feel the character in the book..Patterson is a good writer..
The other book I read was 'I Left the Back Door Open' by april Sinclair.. also a good book, about Black Americans. Maybe this summer I'll read more books..especially since I'm not working that much.

The new freshmans will be arriving soon. Some of them as early as this Friday. There's 9 of them arriving this Friday, 3 girls and the rest are boys.. the girls will be staying at my house for a while before they move into their oncampus dorms..I might have to go to the airport..Kamarul is leaving on Friday evening , sometime at 2..an hour later, these juniors will arrive..I'm going to have to buy more rice and chicken... I plan to cook something good to greet their arrival.. maybe chicken rice..my speciality..
There's gonna be alot of things to do..we need to go shopping for new stuff for them..then they have to go to orientation and start registering.. that should keep me bz before Friday 17th when I'll be going to Toledo for my one week escapade.. my cousin says that he might take me to Niagara falls if his other cousins agrees to go too..this should be exciting.

I have to call my parents to tell them that I'm going on holiday..the last time I called I told them that I'm not going anywhere.. plus it's my dad's birthday on the 15th.. Redza's dad's birthday is on the 19th..his brother's is on 31st and my cousin Ariza's is on 13th.. Rapik's birthday on the 12th..Lalat's birthday on the 1st.. there's more but I can't remember at the top of my mind..hehhe...

Anyway...I'm hungry and I wanna go home...I've been playing LITERATI all afternoon ..I guess no matter what the weather is outside, I'll just have to face it.. I still need to pray.. so I better be going..there's more to say, but don't worry..I'll spill it all out, just later!

It's been a while..
I know..and alot of things have happened since then..I've got a feeling that thi sis going to be a long one folks..

Right now I'm in one of the computer labs..playing LITERATI on yahoo..which is similar to SCRABBLES..I just won a game..but this thing is starting to be addictive so I thought I'd give it another shots..

The weather outside is simply unbearable, with the temperature rising up to 98 F. I just came back from work, which ended at 10.30 this morning. I helped out at the front desk for a while cause the person who was suppose to be working there had a cold. Later I went to the Chemistry building to check if the exam results were out yet..but it wasn't..so I headed straight to Williamson Hall to return a book which I bought last week for next semester.. the book was $64 brand new and $48 second hand..fortunately I found someone who would sell it to me for just $30..logically thinking..I did what every trifty student would do. A saving of $18..emm..that could pay for the next movie or a new shirt.

So..as you might've guessed..the finals are over are the summer holiday rolls in..
At first I thought that I'd stay home and finish off my scrapbook or something..but then on our way to the mall on Sunday, Amilin told me that Faizan, Aneesa, Chain and him might be going to Mt. Rushmore and asks if I'd like to join them so that Aneesa would have a female companion..it seems like a good idea at the time and I was starting to consider the possibility of going on a trip with them but I still have to think about my cousin's offer of going camping with them too. After all, he did ask me first months ago..I have yet to call my cousin to tell him that I might not be able to join him and his family.. then yesterday he called me..I was at work so he left a message on my answering machine.. I contacted him right after I came home.. it turns out that we wanted me to join him so much that he wouldn't reserve the camping lodge until I confirm with him abolut the date of my arrival in Toledo. Maria picked the phone up.. Rezal, my cousin, has been waiting for my call for days.. he even researched about the flight tickets..apparently Toledo airport has reduced its flight prices and I could get there for about $200.. which is cheap because the last time I checked my FareWatcher..the price was up at ~$450. So he asked me if I could make it before the 24th, because Maria has to start teaching again by then. So that only leaves us with the weekend of 18-19.., which happens to be one of the weekends that I have to work on..so I told him that I'd call him back in 30 minutes while I check if someone could fill in my shift. I knew that Aza needs some extra cash, so my instint shouted her name in my brain. I called her and she was glad to help.. what a relief..! So then I went online and checked the flight prices.. Rezal was right I could get a flight to Toledo for $200, unfortunately, I have to buy the tickets 2 weeks prior to the departure.. So I checked to see what the prices would be if I didn't buy the ticket 2 weeks before the flight..and it was more than double of the original price.. I was flabbergasted! This is a rip-off... So I called him back with the bad news..
He asked me to check some other websites..so I did... desperate moments calls for desperate measures.. so I tried www.priceline.com, I was scared of using this thing before because I'm scared that I might be paying more than expected..but I gambled anyway.. I put it down for $220..miraclously, 5 minutes later I found that American Airlines(AA) has accepted my deal and I have automatically bought the ticket.. I let out a sigh of relief.. for I know that I will be calling my cousin with good news now.. It makes me happy to see people happy.. especially those who care for me.. So I called him and they were so happy that I could make it.. I can't belive I made the decision of going on the splurt of the moment.. I looked back at the itenary.. I have saved 54% from the original price..wow, that's amazing..and to think it would've cost me almost $500..

Why did I ever put on a white shirt on a cloudy day?? The weather forecast this morning warned that there would be little rainstorms this morning.. but I thought that it wouldn't be too bad.. it ws still warm and humid when I got out of the house..but half way to the gym..it started sprinkling.. later it poured.. why does it rain when i left the umbrella at home? I ran to work..good thing I had my sport shoes on..

24 hours before my finals will begin.Last minute crammings..at times like this, I suppose we'd all wish that we could just put a book on our heads and let the knowledge saturate into the brain, sort of like a marinated bbq meat.. I got an email yesterday that someone is sponsoring a bbq and invites all the PERSISMA students to eat for free.. it might be fun to go..but then again if it's on this Friday, I don't think I can make it..Why, you asked? Well..what do you think? yes..I'll be stuck here in this office on Friday evening..up til 8 o'clock.. I might still go, if I feel like it..though I'm sure the food will be gone..
However, if it's a weekend thing.. I'll be there.. I might even contribute some food. But I don't expect people to change their plans for me..

I learned something new today.. I've learned how to add links into my site and I've also added a counter.. I thought I'd do this after the finals but I got carried away as I experimented with the HTML template.. I opened up someone else's template.. looked and learned.. kinda like a little kid.. well there's never an end to learning..

Which is exactly why I should open up my textbook right now.. and get all those formulas familiar with my brain cells, mingling in my mind.

TODAY'S GOAL: Finish off reading chapter 27(P.Chem) and doing all the assignment problems.

We started talking about quantum mechanics in class today..and it seems very interesting..yesterday Dr. Feided showed us the oscilating reaction where a reactant changes to product alternately..gets you to think about what makes the heart pumps again and again..I'm really enjoying this class..the prof really intrigued you to think about physical chemistry..and I sincerely feel that this is the best chemistry class I've had since I got here.

Anyway.. Hanna talked t me today about lending her material science textbook for me to use next semester..that would mean that I'd be saving some money and would be paying less than what I've estimated.

I also talked to Jamal today about getting some extra hours at work..and he says that his dept. needs someone to look after the Pro Shop. So I'll start working for him next week at the Pro Shop..but it's only for a couple of hours per week..good enough for me.

Anyway..I think I'm gonna start heading home soon.. I need to eat something for lunch. Yesterday I skipped lunch cause me and my group had a discussion after class and we were having so much fun that none of us realised that 2 hours have gone by so quickly..and so at 1, I was rushing to my office to fill in Ted's shift while he goes on holiday..and so I didn't have enough time for lunch.. after that I went directly to my class and then straight back to the gym to play badminton.. my serves were weak and I hardly smashed even when I was given the chance to.. so Awin and Aza came to have dinner at my house..it was great to have friends over and having a cook up..so we cooked together and ate..then we all wanted deserts..so we went out at 10.30 for ice cream..it was Awin's treat..so we all had some Ben&Jerry's and ate it on one of the tables at the back of Fairview's Hospitals.. it was nice and breezy.. we all wished it was the night of the finals instead of 2 nights before the finals.. I came home later and was too full to study..but I did for a while before I called it a night..
