The thing about Feng Shui

Do you believe in feng shui?

I'm not so much of a believer but I do believe in Buddhist teaching of bad karma, reincarnation etc etc. I've been practising the teachings of Buddhism ever since I was 3/4 years old. I can still remember there used to be this "si fu" coming to my house to do prayers every week. I think 3 times a week. We had to lay some pillows on the floor and then holding a book (mantra), walking in circles and chanted something. My mom said I used to know how to do the chanting but now that I'm an adult, I cannot recall even one bit. "Om ni beh meh hoom" that's all I can remember.

Si fu passed away few years ago. From what dad told me, si fu used to have a family and kids. But he decided to leave his family and became a monk. He traveled frequently to India to practice Buddhism. I used to see him without shoes and he was quite old back then, around 80 something. I think he left this world for heaven when he was 90+. He gave us a framed picture of the little Dalai Lama. Little Dalai Lama is going to succeed the place of the old dalai lama or something. I'm not sure. I found this:

"Upon the death of the Dalai Lama, his monks institute a search for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), a small child. Familiarity with the possessions of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the reincarnation. The search for the reincarnation typically requires a few years. The reincarnation is then brought to Lhasa to be trained by the other Lamas."

Omigod, that makes me think, what if my kid in the future is the dalai lama?????? Are they going to take my child away????=O hmmm is this some kind of blessing or something else?

Talking about lama, my mom recommended that I get my fortune read from this monk in Kepong. I did go there and I'm quite surprised with the things he told me. He didn't ask for my "see sun bat chi"(time and day of birth), he just told me to pick 3 cards. Kinda like tarot to me. hehe Well so do i believe what he said? I'd say PARTIAL. Not all. He did say that I will have good career. WAHHHHAHAHAHAA!! I hope this is true. But it struck me that there are things which I really need to improve on especially when it comes to my "fire cracker" temper.
I really need to work on that. Anyone wanna go and have your fortune read? Let me know, I can provide the address. =P

Oh I just bought a Dzi Bead for Gary. Heard it's good? I'm not sure. Maybe. Well, I live with the phrase "never try, never know". So Gary will be the victim of my feng shui experiment. 40 bucks, I can certainly justify that.

I will update with the results, if any. =D

Weekend Blogging

It's official! I get one week study break.

I'm trying to get my head and brain straightened up to start typing and writing for the freaking OH-SO-STUPID literature review. I don't get it. How come we have to copy what others have said or researched on? It makes the whole process so errr DUMB.

I'm not sure how I'm going to come up with my findings but if I need help with questionnaire, I hope you guys can help me!!! I know it's so damn boring but J*EY#ORHFNHKWND DO I HAVE A CHOICE??? DO YOU? NO!! hehe Oh ya, my final is about product line extensions just to give you guys a rough idea.

Last night I passed by M&S and saw their 20% off on all alcoholic beverages. Man, the power or marketing! I went in there and bought other non related items cost me 20 quid! bleh! This month I happy happy spent a lot of money!! Double of my usual spending. Brr, I'm really trying to lead a more prudent life you know (yea yea I know).

Ummm, okay for the month of March, I will set goals. OK? Realistic ones.

March:

1-Spend wisely, no more unnecessary purchases.

2-Finish up my final thesis

3-Clean the mess on my table

4-Stop buying excessively and throwing food away

5-Start drafting the list for banquet (ARGHHH pull hair)

6-Call mom more often

7-Eat healthily especially more veggies and less on junk

8-Do laundry (haha you know, i do it once a month =P)

9-Weekend room cleaning

10-Fulfill promises that I've made! Oh, and stop scratching my face too much! hehe

April is going to be exciting as I'm flying to several different countries!! Yay! Holidays! I haven't been to HK in two years and hope to spend a good time there in April. KL rocks! Time to spend time with my family. The other day my brother's daughter talked to me on the phone. She is around 2 years old and the conversation was something like this:

Me: Hello Mun Mun (her name la)
MM:Hello Por Por (WTF!)
Me:Errr, wo bu ser por por! Ah goo, bu ser por!
MM: Ba ba
Me: ???????? ^O^
MM:Ba Ba Por Por Ice Cream
Me: HUH?

Then my brother came to my rescue. She finally yelled GOO!!! OK, I will buy her ice cream when I'm home. Kids.

I'm out!

Yay!!

Just got back all the results for last semester. It wasn't too bad after all. hehe

Gong Hei Nei Gong Hei Nei

I'm feeling so knocked out today. I skipped the 9am class this morning. Well, let's call it the post-V day hangover. I managed to drag my ass to the next class around 11am and breeze through the next class until 4pm. I can really feel the intense pressure for this semester and since this is the last semester, what else is better than convincing myself that it's all worth it.

Today is supposedly my day off from all the papers, all the assignments, just a day for me to chill out. However, I don't intend to stick to my day off policy and plan on reading a bit more on the topic I have selected. My supervisor is good but he's not being a great help. I would say he's very autocratic and he only wants to read what he fancies. This has caused quite a commotion to my brain of thoughts. Do I please him or do I follow my heart? Maybe I should go to another lecturer to get a second opinion? I plan on asking my international advertising lecturer for his comment on the topic.

Semester one results are coming out one by one. I would say I did fairly okay. How good is good anyway? I've tried my best and not to impose more pressure on my fragile little mind and heart. Well, anything that happens after the exam is out of anyone's control. When I was younger, I always tried to strive or to push myself so that I can stay on top of things. Not anymore. I'm always adopting the more relaxing approach now. You just take life as it comes.

I called mom this morning to talk about her CNY celebration. By the way, it's on the 18th. As usual, not doing much except going to the "pasar" to buy her groceries to stuff the refrigerator.
It's so sweet of Gary because he personally forked out $500 to send to my mom for CNY for her to buy "food" and didn't even tell me about that. He just told me like moments ago. I'm sure mom is going to be so happy. Never expected Gary to do that cuz that guy is quite a stingy person. =P What about me? So what did I give myself? Like Gary, I gave my mom ang pow too!hahaha I love my mom to death. I'm so afraid sometimes. Afraid that my parents will leave me someday. I have made a plan to visit places with her this year. She has reconstructive surgery to fix her femur soon so I have promised to bring her to all the places she wanna go after that.

Alright time to get back to my papers. =)

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Hei Fatt Choi! Sun lin fai lok!

Palmier

My muffins (my friend has started to call me ms.muffin)

My favorite lambrusco CHEAP CHEAP! Only 79p!

Went to M&S today to stock on some food and essentials. It's going to be a snowing week so better do some preparations. I'm happily devouring the palmier I bought from the bakery but too bad, when I came home, it's already broken into two(for those who dunno what the heck is that, it's actually a kind of pastry in the shape of heart). Bad omen?!!! Oh wait, just me being superstitious...won't geh....choi choi choi! =P

Today I had three classes, two in the am and one in the pm. The lecturer damn gila wei. That fella can talk for hours. When we wanna give suggestions or voice out our opinions, he would give us like 30 seconds!! And he continued yakking happily...hmmm...I already got a psycho lecturer who likes to jump on the table, now this one joins the rank by being the psycho blabber HOLY MOLY CHRIST JESUS BUDDHA ALLAH.

I was checking my BMI just now and I'm underweight!!8364598ahdnsiorT&*T*(T#) WTF! I'm a healthy 110 pounds girl with excessive fat all over my body. Maybe that's not meant for people like me. =P More for those who love to eat a bowl of pho (viet noodles) bigger than the size of their own ass! GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS, HUGE, BIG, HUMONGOUS all in their dictionary. No offense ok, a lot of ppl in US really over inflate things, physically or scales wise.

A lot of models died of anorexia or bulimia recently and it has created quite a stir in the modelling industry. People especially those working in the industry have started to question whether it's appropriate to allow skin and bone models on the runway. One of the most recent cases was a Brazilian model, only 88 pounds, 5' 8" died of eating disorder. Her body or rather her immune system was too weak to battle the slightest bacteria infection. She died at the age of 21. Really people, it's so sad to hear news like this. How can you sacrifice your health for the sake of fame, glamour and some greenbags?? Tsk tsk tsk...skinny models are sending wrong message to the next generation. I think I saw somewhere a model's meal consists of apple and vegetables only. =S Yeah some models are defending this saying that not all models are battling eating disorder but truthfully, out of 100 models, guess how many are actually eating healthily. It's time for the government to put its intervention into this matter.

I was looking at wedding dresses with Siu Mun from a website and all the models got this hungry look on their face saying "FEED ME" or "I'M DYING, I HAVEN'T BEEN EATING FOR FEW DAYS NOW"!! Terrible...

Ok let's talk about something more happy. Dunno why I'm hungry again. haha...me go eat snack now!!

ciao!

Working on my papers AGAIN!
Home made food that's left to rot

A little bit of fantasizing

Woke up this morning to find evidence of snow from last night

I slept pretty late last night. I felt so discouraged to work on my papers this afternoon thus part of pm was wasted on movies, videos and music. I was finally feeling the need to work again when the sun started to set.

It's going to be a freaking cold week for everyone here in the north. On Friday, it's going to be -5. Gotta stock up on hot drinks!!! My only consolation when feeling the blues of winter days.

I haven't been too productive ever since school started. Blame it on the weather. =P

Take care everyone and stay warm!

My Boring Weekend!

My BOOKS!

February!
Tea
My weekend companion

It's another boring weekend. It's the 4th of February folks. Another 10 days lovers will be celebrating Valentine's Day and not forgetting Chinese New Year! Oh man, I really really love chinese new year in Malaysia because everywhere you go is so festive unlike San Fran. I can just pig all day long during CNY and the good news is, it won't end in a day or two, it's freaking 15 days long! Chinese New Year is really my type of celebration. =) Starting next year I have to give ang pows so you guys have to be good and start forming a line so that aunty here can give a little red packet to you. =P

I received my first red packet for CNY in December! Early eh? hehe

Online hopping and shopping

Do you have a favorite online store? The world has progressed so much that it is difficult to be living without the internet or computer. Honestly, I'm one of those geeks who cannot live without internet. Just give me a pc and access to the world wide web, and I can survive. Two nights ago, I bought my groceries online. Yup, online. I can even shop for groceries by just clicking here and there.

(http://www.asda.co.uk) I think asda has great deals for groceries especially for students like me and besides, try searching online for coupons of free delivery or probably 10 off for puchasing over 50, something like that. I was able to find some free shipping evouchers (try entering this evoucher code to get free shipping M4 BG EH C2). For those not familiar with UK supermarkets, ASDA is also walmart just to clear things up. Well my delivery is up around 6pm, so, I gotta take a power nap now and can't wait to get my foods.

Valentine's Day is coming, so why not try shopping a gift online for your honey bunny? I just bought something for Gary online and shhhh, it's a surprise. Ya he has no time to read this blog so I can write whatever junk I want here!!!

Oh yes, I think those in Malaysia can also opt to send flowers through submitting your orders online. At least with google I could find more than 10 florists that handle online transaction.

Click here if you want coupon code for more great deals.
