Them Books and Porridge

Whoa I can’t remember the last time I wrote anything here. Apologies to those that care to read this sad excuse of a blog. :p

Been busy with studies for it’s the final semester and the workload is sky high. I feel like I can never do enough. (Gonna whine and complaint like a kid here. My prerogative.) I barely have time to do the stuff I want to. Actually that’s only partly bull. Haha. I still found time to go to the movies religiously, every time a new movie (still reeling from the thrill of The Dark Knight Rises) that is of my interest is released. What I mean is that I have to sacrifice quite a bit here and there in order to get more studying done. Like less time on the piano/guitar, reading books, exercise (not that I’m complaining actually, I only exercise to not gain weight, damaging my eardrums with my dinosaur iPod while I’m at it) and sadly turning down friends. Sorry folks. A nerd’s gotta do what she’s gotta do. It’s just for these few months. I really want to pass the cut-off point. I even downloaded a freaking app on my phone to keep me motivated. Lol.

But fret not, I am not insane. Stressed maybe. My mom told me to not study so much for she fears that I will turn into a nutjob. I don’t study ALL the time. But I sure am amazed to see some of my comrades that seem to be able do so and the level of kiasu-ness that comes with the package. The heat is on, I get it, but for me I refuse to disregard everything else in my life. Moderation is the key in my personal opinion. I pity those that can’t stand the sight of another person studying when he/she is not. I used to feel that way but I got over it somehow. People getting smarter won’t make me any more stupid. Go figure.

I will focus on working on my own goals and we’ll see what happens.

Aside from that, I am proud to announce that I can now cook more things. Haha. The fasting month has certainly brought a change in me where I have no choice but to cook when I cannot stomach anymore by-products of a certain (only??) shop in my college. I learnt how to make porridge. Laugh all you want. I hated porridge before this. Watery tasteless goo design for sick people. Never ate it even when I was sick. No reason to know how to cook it right. Heh. But now I see the light. It’s the fastest, simplest meal I can have apart from instant noodles. One can only eat so many packets of instant noodles before one’s pulse races when one sees the amount of one’s hair fall. Pimples, dark circles and eyebags I have come to terms with but my mane? Never…! So back to porridge, it’s not that bad really. One of my earlier attempts almost resulted in rice, so I added more water in and ate fat, expanded rice soaked in water in the end. But practice makes perfect. I am now a pro at the art of porridge-making. B-) I even made some with red rice. Lol. Roommie’s idea. It was edible. And I felt so healthy I could die.

So there you go, first post in a long while. Will probably be another long while before another post pops up because I’d really rather spend my time watching Suits (damn, that is one fine show you have to watch before you die) instead of typing random thoughts that goes through my brain.
