Expectations

"I strive to take life one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me all at once"
What does expectation means to you?

Its OK if you tell me that you can't complete your task. As the team leader, I will pick up the slack because that is my job. But not when I'm not given anything to work on. Its not enough to say "I don't know" ~ because everyone is doing it under the same condition.

I get pissed when I ask you, you'd rather slack off even when you haven't started anything, even when the dateline is only hours away, even when you are the only one to not complete your task.


Somehow we managed due to sheer luck.


Sometimes we trust them to be who we want them to be and when they don't, we cry.

Of sandwiches and muffins

Yesterday was my brother's PKIK carnival. We were supposed to sell 100 egg sandwiches and 300+ muffins (carrot walnut & banana anyone~?) made by yours truly.


The sandwiches. 

The day was quite a flop.  I mean yeah the volunteers were great. They've prepared our stall, helped carry our stuffs and on the whole were quite organised. But isn't it unfair that they've set the price for our muffins at 3 for 9 coupons but other stall's were priced lower.

So yeah~ The muffins didn't sell well. Even after all the hard work involved in making that much. Next time if they ask us to make 100 we'll make 50 (Advice from the experienced)  After all, other stalls did the same. Only us n00bs were fooled.

The only great thing that happened to me was this...


Tada~

Can you believe that these books, especially the last one~ Eragon & Eldest combined. The whole stack only cost a total of 13 coupons. Whatabargain!! To me at least.

I can't wait to start readin' em

PS:// Many thanks to my dear friend Ashi for helping me make muffins =)

1 Litre of Tears

It had been almost a year since I'd last blogged. A lot has passed since then. The then, long awaited SPM examinations...results days...college... Everything that seemed miles away passed within a blink of an eye.

I've just finished my first semester in Nilai University College. Its amazing that somehow I ended up taking Culinary Arts. I mean, I'd always wanted to be a fashion designer...then mass communications... you get the idea.

To all my friends, past, present & future ~ I'm glad to have a chance to get to know you guys. I'll try to write more regularly but who knows (^^)

Anyway~ as for the title, It's a heart warming Japanese drama based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Kito Aya who was diagnosed with an incurable degenerative disease "Spinocerebellar Degeneration" aged 15. Its a cruel disease which the victim will slowly lose all ability to walk, talk, eat and yet it doesn't affect the mind

Ikeuchi Aya had everything~ she had friends and family, excelled in her studies, talented in basketball and secretly has a crush for her senior. However, when she was diagnosed, her whole world came crashing down. She said this "Why did the disease choose me? I cannot carry it, if it’s just for the word “fate”.

On a date, her senior became a perfect coward. She often wondered if she had not had this illness, she would have the chance to experience love?


She tried her best, trying hard to live, finding a purpose in her life. Only to Haruto Asou she could express her feelings of hope, disappointment and pain. He was the light as she fought despair that threatened to overwhelm her.

But she knew that one day they will part ways. It would've been easier. When asked why, she would say "Would I've be able to get married?"


"To be able to smile and tell everyone this~ I have at least cried 1 litre of tears"

Of all her inspiring and courageous messages. One that stood out was this :
“Just being alive is such a wonderful thing.”
