FIrst Step into Studying

Argh.... I can't seem to blog about my trip. I started my first week of studies, by the way. Three classes every week. First lesson of Managerial Economics itself, class was cancelled and my class wasn't told. We only found out past 7pm. Eesh. We have two evening classes, one was lucky enough to have their lesson, my class was not so lucky. However, instead of going home, I popped over to join the other class for this subject. No harm in learning a repeat of what you heard right? (I'm so hardworking.... right...) I went there all the way for my studies, so I might as well.... And yes, my new phase of life, is going back to school. Not getting married, not having babies, not having grandchildren. Hahaha. Going back to school. These words make me feel like a grandma.... Back to assignments, group work, midterms and final exminations. Now, the social circle does not only involve bosses, senior managers, and colleagues. It also involves lecturers, classmates...

Oh my gosh *drama tone*... I don't know where to start. My Thailand trip or my start of a new phase of life. :D Both events happened near to one another. It was a bit of a mess, actually. I was busy getting ready for my new phase, I left all my packing to the very last minute before I was due to fly. Hahaha. But at least I brought everything I needed, unlike CL who left her comb and haridryer. Lol. And no luggage tagged wrongly. That was my worst nightmare. Stuck in a foreign country and your luggage gets tagged with another passenger's. Old story . My trip to Thailand came at the right time, though at first I was warped with a lot of doubts. Sometimes, being away from all things that are familiar, gives you a different perspective in a lot of ways. I needed it to change. Why? Because during my trip, I realized a few things. I have no idea why, but my confidence must have really slipped to an all time low. It was very apparent it seems, that even people I mee...

Anxiety 101

I should most probably be sleeping by now. But I can't. I have been having sleepless nights for the past few days. Every morning, when I wake up, I feel as if I didn't sleep the night before. Anxiety, worry, nervousness, fear. All these just seem to be very jumbled up inside of me now. Argh!!! I don't know what to feel...

Fried Rice Version 2

Image
I cooked dinner!! Muahaha. Mom and dad weren't around for the weekend. They packed their bags, left the country and ran away from us, leaving the three of us to fend for ourselves. Lol!   So, I decided to put my cooking skills to the test. (Partly because I was tired of eating out.) Head knowledge and skills..   And this is what I came up with...   Voila!  Kath's seemingly burnt fried rice.    Fried rice. Not your typical fried rice... because I used brown and red rice instead of white rice. So it looks kinda dark....   As I was eating this dish, I realized the mistakes that were made.   No.1: Too much water was used to boil the rice, thus it was very lumpy and hard to break apart in the kuali. No. 2: I wanted crunchy ikan billis to munch on. I should have taken them out after getting enough of its flavour into the oil. Instead, I continued frying it with the rest of the ingredients and my delectable snack became...
