Every semester you go in thinking this time I am not going to put things off til the last minute, this semester I'm not gonna miss a lecture. But half the semester is almost finished (6 weeks sure do past quickly), I am still procrastinating until the 11th hour and already missed a handful of morning classes. Gosh Im slacking. Hopefully the 2 weeks break that is coming will get me back on track. Uh-huh what with all the assignments due right after it, I just have to! Here's wishing. Btw, is it just me or does every second semester always feel super fast? Hmm.

Ramadhan is coming soon. More reason to find myself again after being in a floating bubble without sense of direction this past months. I cant wait. I personally love getting up for sahur. Something nostalgic about it that I can't pinpoint, but it makes my heart swell (in a good way). Honestly, I get nostalgic about everything lately. Like listening to "Speeding cars" now makes me think of how I felt first year in Auckland - homesick as heck. I remember it was the ost of the O.C and my most played song while staying at the railway campus, where I had a love-hate relationship with. Every now and then the song pops up and I cant stand how that exact emotion of 2 years ago can still overcome me.

So I guess 2 years down the line I will probably listen back to the song on this page, currently playing in loop on my itunes (80 spins in 3 days) and remember how I feel at this moment;
lost, but hopeful.

See I hate when I become invested in a game. Its not that Choong Wei lost that got me teary-eyed, but he lost in such a resigning manner. There wasnt even a fight. Sigh.

Im going back to just watching whats on and sports with eye candies playing. So far the doubles men kayak from France are uber hotness and Ryan Lochte the American swimmer is a piece of heaven in speedos. Micheal Phelps who? Lol.

Good night.

Yay different layout. The last one was getting on my nerve. Thoughts?

Olympics have started. Unfortunately I dont think I'll be able to watch it as much as I would like here. We dont have SKY, and I doubt they would show the games that New Zealand are not part of on their national tv.

My most memorable Olympics has to be Atlanta 1996. Im sure my elder sister still remember the excitement we had watching the gymnastics event that year. I was 10 but I still remember holding my breath as I watched Kerri Strug sticking it on one good ankle to win the gold medal for the USA team:



Amazing right? That is one of my vivid historical sporting moments among others. Of course after watching that I went twisting and twirling on the monkey bars in the school playground hoping to be the next Dominique Moceanu. And remember Alexei Nemov Chor? Dang he was one hot gymnast!

It was also the year where both of us were invested in USA's Dream Team consisted of all our favourites: Shaq, Hakeem Olajuwan, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller (Indiana Pacers represent!), David Robinson, John Stockton etc. Those were the good old days. Ive never followed basketball as closely as I did twelve years ago.

Well that was then, we were in the States and young, of course we would be cheering for the home team. Come to think of it I dont even remember the events Malaysia participated that year. But now having grown up and being here in NZ, I felt a sense of pride watching the Malaysia contingent marched in their yellow baju melayu and kebaya last night. Hopefully this year they will be able to be bring back a gold or two. Ok, maybe two is pushing it. I'll be satisfied with one pretty please. :)
