Challenges Ahead

Its the time again where semester begins and you are constantly feeling like sh*t and yet excited all the same

Throughout the holidays, I spent my time catching up with my various interests be it catching up with my novels, mangas, drama, trying out new recipes and of course my recurring addiction of Pet Society. Needless to say, my love for it is still as strong as ever. 

Today had been a fairly interesting day. I travelled back to my campus at Nilai to register for the new semester and I find it extremely annoying that the lady managing the Hospitality Counter isn't even from this department. I don't know whether to pity her or to get pissed with her. She is slow... inefficient and she doesn't even understand what I'm talking about. Things went downhill from here

bla bla bla I went back to my accomodation to find it sort of ransacked. They apparently have mistakenly assumed that my room is empty and proceeded to clear my room EVENTHOUGH the cupboard was padlocked and there was OBVIOUSLY signs of people living there. My bed was overturned, my bed sheets gone, items in my drawers cleared and dumped aside. 

This is a sign of the incompetence. How can you NOT know that someone is living there when I already PAID two months earlier. 

On a brighter note I have a GPA of 3.80 last semester with a result of 1 A and 2 A-....I'm happy but I am also disapointed as a classmate has managed to obtain a higher score than mine. This is brought my CGPA to 3.63...Not bad...I guess but I have to keep up.

On another topic, I'd like to share a recipe thanks to a great friend of mine (who has also 'persuaded' me to continue blogging) 

Herb Marinade CHicken (serves 4)

4 chicken legs
1/2 cup chicken stock

1/3 cup olive oil 

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp garlic

basil leaves

Combine all ingredients (amount is estimate) in a bowl

Marinade chicken legs

Preheat and Bake in oven at 180C for about 45 minutes

Its a really easy recipe that is currently a family favourite and so I'd like to share it in light of the soon to come festive season. I;d post a picture but its gone before I could so yeah...try it.

And also in light of the year of the dragon may your family be blessed with good health, peace and prosperity

W00t~ Semester Break is Here

The last few weeks have been very hectic with due dates flinging around, coursework grades and also *drumrolls* EXAM.

Today is the final paper (English) and I finished it with break neck speed (1 hour) just because I wanted to go home. Reckless aren't I?

Anyway, I think I did best in Workplace Communication. I scored the highest coursework grades from all the students taking it this semester with a brilliant 55/60~!! I'm trilled that I've beat Darren by one mark but I think he will soon catch up in the written test as he has always done.

I am however, honestly quite unprepared for my Food Safety exam. I hope I did well enough to score a B+. *praying* I am aiming to increase my CGPA this semester...hopefully.

I'm glad that I'm finally home. 

Pandora's Box

"Suicide is it worth it?"

I've always read about suicides in the newspapers but I never thought that one would actually happen within reachable distance. This is the second time it proved me wrong.

When a mother has a child, all she thinks about is the health of her child. I'm sure all those who were sickly as a child would understand this. And every year is a step into adulthood and safety. 

"The crime of suicide lies rather in its disregard for the feelings of those whom we leave behind"

I may sound harsh but I really think that it was really inconsiderate of her. She should stop and think about other people. Not to mention the inconvenience she caused. Parents should never have to see themselves outlive their child.

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" 

I mean no disrespect but I believe that there isn't anything worth dying for. Suicide isn't the only solution. Sometimes, you need to see things in a different perspective. Life is not all bad all the time. Choose to believe -  that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel, the silver in the cloud. 

But now, we will not question her for what's done is done. Always remember there is always Hope. Guard it well against your heart so that you won't be tempted to give it up. May she rest in peace - Lalitha
