I left my room optimistic, armed with my trusty backpack, violin, and bag of art supplies.
Got to the cafeteria half an hour before class. OOOH yeaaah! Had a quick breakfast (when usually it'd take me about 20 minutes to enter and exit the food area before ACTUALLY gluing my buttocks to the chair. This was a new record! (Speaking of records, I have another one about last night... Not the kind those of you whose heads are in the gutter are thinking... *squints*)
Unfortunately, I was stuck with a horrid tummy ache that left me cringing and clasping onto a chair or a table during the first 3/4 of the class. And since it was a 3 hour class, you could say I was dying... But thank goodness, at the small break time in between, I was able to deal with all the crazy that was going on in my innards. Man, I need to up my diet & nutrition stuff. We had to do that for health. And one thing I have determined is to have vegetarian days. Like I did Junior year. And then reward myself every 2 weeks with a Jamba Juice. MMMM yum :D
Anyhoot.
Chinese New Year is in full swing and being far from home, almost a dozen of us gathered at Sam Woo's for a reunion dinner. After exclaiming and proclaiming our hunger to the restaurant and pretty much anyone standing by, we still weren't able to make up our minds.
20 minutes later, 8 dish orders and lots of loud-students-yelling-over-the-table later, we began the wait process.
Agonizing.
After all the hard work of ordering. Phew, sweat free!
(My red hair is now.. brownish. But when I wash it, red still comes off. O_o)
But when the food came... Can you imagine.....
We were... still savages... Probably worse.
This is only a fraction of what we ordered.
I got lazy...
During the whole thing, we made so much noise, I swear to god, everyone surrounding us were just dying to leave the restaurant. Ooops.
Not to mention how obnoxious we were with the photo taking post belly stuffing...
Crazy faces,
"Gong Xi"
Malaysians..
My god. But it was all very fun. There was lots of laughter, some hiccup-ing, singing, arm waving, etc.
But to also ring in the year of the snake, my mom decided to Skype me last night when I was at work.. My aunts, cousins, and grandma were there... Their talks of food and all the festivities made my tummy rumble louder than a volcano on call.
Bitter gourds my grandma planted.
"ngee mao det sit lor!"
(Translation: "you don't get to eat!")
I love bitter gourds.
Also, did I mention that both my paternal and maternal family have amazing culinary skills?
Boy, do I miss spending Chinese New Year in the deep sections of Sabah, inhaling scents of farms. Yes, of pigs, chickens, and god knows what else they have in that house haha.
Speaking of being skyped at work, I was SUPER productive in my 5 hours on the job. I finished my math homework, health homework (even though I did it wrong, but I was ahead -kinda- so yay?), and some edits to Capstone before handing it in to my mentor. Though I think I got him and 2 of my peers overexcited for what I wrote when it really isn't as awesome as it sounds... (Seriously, I don't know why this keeps happening.) Got some artwork done for painting class (we had to bring in 4 sketches for potential painting...)
YAY TO PRODUCTIVITY!!
On another note, I sold my couch! I never quite used it after the 2nd semester, so I figured I get rid of some cluster in my room.
My room feels so much more spacious now...
anyway, I think I'm going to work on some homework and knock out.
Another crazy day tomorrow!!
xoxo,
Kim. ♥
