The Wannabe Economist

Bread for dinner doesn’t work. I mean how can 6 danish pastry fill Chongky up.

Just a hopeful try.

Back here i cooked one packet of dry instant noodle and Mrs Chongky fried lotsa fish fillet and crab stick. I think i just got my sore throat from there.

*scrumble for something cooling

Minsy has a Printing Buddy!

Woo hoo!

“I need to shit”

Moments later,

“I need to print”

Momemts after she left the room,

“I need to print too”

And after printing for a long while, she looked flushed and he is sweaty.

But when someone says, “anyone needs to print anything?”

That’s an open invitation because she has no Print Buddy.

Revision of Macroeconomics is slow. It’s a heavy subject, and there’s only so much i can remember. Sigh. Shouldn’t have actually be tempted to take 6 modules and neglect Macro. Now it simply is going to bring the GPA lower.

On the bright side, i am getting the hang of Macro. And i have 4 more days to the actual exams, with 2 exams in-between that i more or less am prepared. Just have to spend a couple more hours to run through i believe.

The past week is the best this sem. I slept a lot, though i know i shouldn’t be. Body is just too tired. With dance practise 3 times a week for first half of the semester, followed by projects to rush and climbing to keep me worried for the next half. By the end of last week, i was wore out.

Now that i have rested, i’m going to make sure this sem is going to be just as good, if not better than the last sem of year 1, or the summer semester.

And the song that has been accompanying me this afternoon on repeat mode.

And if you need a break, you can read more about Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses!

Thanks Mrs Chongky.

For the mint ice cream from the ice-cream man that came during my 4 hours nap.

Thanks friend.

For the wonderful but sleepy time we all have at Sakae Marina.

Not sure if it’s studies-related.

Jia you Chongky.

In a bid for healthier lifestyle and to cut cost on buying food, we have decided to eat in. Of course i can’t help much when it comes to cooking. I only help the most when it comes to eating.

Lucky Mrs Chongky is damn good in the kitchen.

She moves her chopsticks so fast that they can’t be captured on camera.

I now understand why all these years only i dare to voice my unhappiness over my mum’s cooking when my dad keeps quiet.

But on the other hand, the food would definitely taste worse if it’s up to me to cook. At least in home econs class the teacher will let you know the exact amount of ingredient to use.

I won’t be able to come up with crispy calamari.

Or a big pot of drunken chicken soup.

To WZ and Neh Neh: We cook and we eat as we cook. So over these two days we have eaten quite a bit. And now we are more ready to accept any challenge at Sakae Sushi buffet. This time we are going for 45 plates record.

Had a tough morning. Couldn’t sleep properly. Because Mrs Chongky kept waking me up to talk to me about her missed call and how she couldn’t get the person to answer her call or call her back.

Sigh.

So for the whole morning i kept waking up, talk to her, fall back into sleep again.

ROAR.

But she just got the person and arranged for her interview.

Yeah

Woo hoo! No more interrupted sleep.

Last sunday the 3 cousins came over. It has been a while since we last met them. The twins have grown much taller. I think the older twin has even outgrown the elder sister. She’s 19 kg while the elder sis is only 17 kg. Tsk tsk…

And of course they can’t remember who am i. At least they mistaken me for Mrs Chongky’s elder bro who just came back for holiday. -_-”

And after much prompting and hinting they finally know that i am me. They can clearly remember what we all did previously when i showed them the photo. Playing at the water fountain in the city, shopping and stuff.

And then i showed them this photo and ask them who it is.

The elder sis told me it’s Kor Kor. Then i ask how she knows. She replied,

“Kor Kor always wear the same shirt”

-_-”

Kids say the darnest thing.

Photo with the kids before they went back

I must have done something right.

Doesn’t matter if i can’t cook for nuts. (and thanks to Mrs Chongky we survived the day)

Doesn’t matter if i am lazy and easily distracted.

‘Cause i now own temporary took over Mrs Chongky’s iPod nano. Nevermind its pink condom that hides its true identity. Who cares when it plays my favorite Jay Chou 24-7?

And Mrs Chongky just happily missed the call from Credit Suss internship. Probably call to arrange for interview. Don’t worry k. I’m sure you would get that internship eventually.

‘Cause i believe…

When all the basic needs are taken care of, the next item on the list is the wants. Sigh…

I hate to study without music, even though i can work perfectly well without it. But when it comes to studying, reading the notes, i think i would die without music. And at times, yes it is stupid to on my laptop and let it run, consume all the electricity just because i want to listen to the songs on the playlist.

At times like this, i hope i have an iPod.

Argh! I used to tell myself that it’s ok if i don’t have one. I can happily use my laptop. But come on, won’t it be useful to own one of those high end gadget so that i can focus better without turning on my laptop and having one big distraction right in front of me?

And then when Mrs Chongky got her Nano, i told myself i can use hers. But then i just realised what’s the joy of listen when i don’t get to hear my familiar Jay Chou or Mayday?

And then i used to tell myself i don’t need a set of dumb bell because there are so many sets in the school gym. At times like this when i am bored to studying and don’t wish to move away from my seat, i really wish dumb bells fall from the sky so that i can vent some of my boredom there.

Sigh…

Life isn’t a peice of cake. I just need to remind myself more of my background and my upbringing. Nothing is smooth-sailing. I don’t get the stuff i want more often than i do.

FUCK LA IF ONLY I AM PERFECTLY WELL I WOULD HAVE SIGNED ON THAT STUPID LSA AND BUY THE STUPID DUMB BELLS AND THE IPOD SO I WON’T BE IN THIS STATE OF SELF PITY.

FUCK!

iPod black 30GB - $428 (and i am going to engrave ZHNG MY NEH plus my name and nickname all on the back cause it’s going to be FOC)

No exactly a new song. But i like it.

1st Verse:

Chemistry was crazy from the get go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn’t build nothin’ over night
Cause’ a love like this take some time
People swore it off as a phase

Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that(yes)
It’s so true that(yes)
We’ve been through it(yes)
We got real sh*t(yes)
See baby we been…

Chorus:

Too strong for too long(and I can’t be without you baby)
And I’ll be waitin’ up until you get home(cuz I can’t sleep without you baby)
Anybody who’s ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothin’ can replace it
Call the radio if you just can’t be without ya baby

2nd Verse:

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie?(no)
Make me cry?(no)
Do something behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love(yes)
I’ll be faithful(yes)
I’m for real(yes)
And with us you’ll always know the deal
We’ve been…
Chorus:

Too strong for too long(and I can’t be without you baby)
And I’ll be waitn’ up until ya get home(cuz I can’t sleep without ya baby)

Too hard to fake it, nothin’ can replace it
Call the radio if you just can’t be without ya baby

Bridge:
See this is real talk

Good or bad(thick and thin)
Right or wrong(all day everyday)
Now if ya down on love or don’t believe
This ain’t for you(no this ain’t for you)
And if ya got it deep in ya heart
And deep down ya know that it’s true(c’mon, c’mon)
Well, let me see ya put ya hands up(hands up)
Fellas tell ya lady she’s the one(fellas tell ya lady she’s the one,oh)
