I COULD SERIOUSLY KILL SOMEONE SOON (well.. not THAT seriously)

Anybody who knows anything about me would know that I'm not too happy with my roomie. Well.. this morning things came to a head. He was the guy who was in charge of the Internet acess in our house, and naturally when there was no internet connection, the first thing I did was to ask him about it. I actually needed to access my uni webmail, because I had a sneaking feeling that there was a revision lecture today. Well there was, but I digress. In any case, I asked the guy in a normal, polite manner about the connection. He didn't answer me at first, so I repeated the query. He then brushed me off with a curt, "I don't know". Well... another thing that those who know me would know is that I have a short fuse too. So I decided to take a shower, but not before giving him a retort to the effect that he's not the only one having exams. I went out, had a shower, came back and turned on his computer myself so that I could do something about the internet connection, since he's obviously not going to do anything about it. He then came back into the room, and at the same instant, I accidentally hit his speakers as I was turning around. He then glared at me, and said, "Why are you taking it out on my stuff, then?" I mumbled something to the effect that it was an accident. Hours later, while he was still out, I thought I was a bit rude too, and it WAS a bit thoughtless of me to get into a row with the guy on the morning of his exams. So I left him a note on his table, saying I was sorry about all that, and that I didn't mean to get into the whole mess before his exams.

Guess what he did when he got home?

He brushed the paper aside, and has yet to say anything to me.

So I am sitting here, typing this rant of mine, witnessing my note of apology still probably unaccepted trashed by the side of his table.

The difference between me and him? We've both got short fuses, but at least I have a conscience.

And I'm also better looking. :p

Trustees... my most hated word.

Two blogs in two days... man I must reaaaaaaaly be bored. I think I started studying a little too early this year. I'm currently very much exhausted by it all... and running out of steam too. I've noticed that this happens every year. The nearer I get to the exams, the lazier I get. That's NOT a good thing.

Current read: powers of a trustee to maintain a minor, and power of a trustee to advance capital to beneficiaries. Boring, huh?

Mama and Papa's arriving soon. Hopefully that'll sort out my laziness. Have to buck up, starting now. I think I'll take a shower first tho.

But before that: Have you ever noticed that (and this perhaps only applies to those Malaysians in the UK, and still studying of course) we never get to enjoy the best times of the year, since during that time we're stuck in the house memorising stuff we won't even care about in 2 month's time?? Exams suck. Period.

I hate the fact that those who want you to do something/ be something else never say it out loud. It's always concealed behind a facade e.g. "Oh, I don't mind you wanting to do that, but wouldn't it be boring though? and why the sudden change in interests anyway? I thought you always wanted to do this, and that etc". You end up having to justify the decisions you made. Not that anything's certain anyway. What I decide now will probably be of little relevance in 10 years' time. But it pisses me off that people want to have a say in what I am, in what I become and they don't even have the decency to come out and say it. The former is enough to piss me off anytime; the latter though... man, this sucks. Am I being paranoid and neurotic? You tell me... I'm the one Nadia called a "younger version of Woody Allen". Although I think I look better.


Long time no blog!

actually i don't see the reason why i should. Nuthing much has been happening. Oh, apart from Nim's visit to London... which ROCKS!! I know. I 'm sad. My whole social life revolves around her. But hey! Who cares?

Starsky & Hutch was kinda nice. Shaun of the Dead was even cooler tho. Next stop: Kill Bill. Tho i think that one might be a disappointment... hopefully not on the same level as the Matrix farce tho.

I think I use 'tho' too much.

Non-charitable purpose trusts. Charitable trusts. Trusts & the family home. Hyde Park in summertime. Not a good combo, unless u're into dozing off at intermittent periods.

Everyone's getting on my nerves lately. I don't think it's possible for men to have PMS. Or is it?

latest read: re-reading "The remains of the day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Highly recommended.
