sick

this sucks. its the worst i've ever felt in my life. In the space of 36 hours i have experienced a high fever (causing shivering then sweating), a continuous headache, a continuous cough, a runny nose, back aches from sleeping on hard beds and now a throat infection. i hate people who feel sorry for themselves when they're sick, but in thsi case its hard not to. i guess i deserve it for laughing at my sick cousin who had to get a jab on each butt cheek.
let's just say i'm not having such a great time in indonesia at the moment.

holiday

okay so the holidays are finally here. yipeee!
lol. i could say that i'm gonna have a blast, go out everyday and have LOADSA fun, but that would be me lying. but if i do by some miraculous chance have loadsa loadsa fun in indonesia, you'll be the first to find out about it- i'll keep you posted, its always interesting to read about the weird things i get up to. :)

xams- guilty and knows it

funny how if you rearrange the word xams its spells xmas..hmmm. sorry nerdism popping out there.
finished chinese exams today, well not exactly but finished the exam worth 70% of my pass grade. seeing as i copied nearly the entire thing off the girl sitting next to me i feel a sense of security in saying that i think i passed witha good enough grade.
i know i know, eh-ma-gaawwd saskia cheated!
but sometimes a girls gotta do wat a girls gotta do.

outlook on life

you know how people always say, "oh this sucks," or "this is so boring" or "why is life so repetitive" well in my opinion, life is only boring and life is only repetitive if you just keep sitting back and jus keep trying ot describe how ur life is going on at the moment and keeping it that way.
If everyone just stopped worrying about whether their life is boring and actually go out and do something about it and live it, then life would lose its repetativeness and you must just have fun. :)

santa baby, where'd you go?

aaw i'm not celebrating christmas this year and i'm bummed.
everone thinks its about the presents and eating the christmas dinner and all materialistic stuff but its not. the truth is CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVOURITE HOLIDAY and i look forward to it every year. if u don't celebrate the holiday then you jus don't get it.
it'll be the first time since never that i'm not celebrating christmas.. this year i won't be getting any presents under a tree, goin to church (for the only time in the year), eating turkey and escargo on chrismas eve, dress up silly with my sis, or listen to the fairy lights on our tree, or sing random xmas songs around the house (i guess i can still do that in indonesia), or open presents on christmas morning, or carry out all those tiny christmas rituals that we've accumulated over teh years.
i think i'l stop now... its making me sad. sigh. so many things have changed thsi year i guess one more change can't hurt can it? well guess again.

pile it on

okay so the residentials are over and school is starting. but together with that comes upcoming exams, coursework deadlines, unfinished homework, and all those other little things you promised urself you would do if you had a little spare time- like send an email to that friend of yours in england.
but the holidays are nearly here people, so just grin and bear it.
only two weeks till we can wake up when we want, go where we want and do what we like, and i'm waiting as patiently as everyone else is.

"sexy mama, eat Mama?"

okay, there has been some pretty bad or should i say questionable decisions made in the world of advertising throughout history. But honestly, why is Miss Universe the new 'face' of Mama freeze-dried noodles? What are they trying to tell us, that all the beautiful people eat Mama? That if you eat Mama you can be as beautiful as Miss Universe? And do they expect us to believe that the 'most' beutiful woman in the world eats the preservative heavy snack? She only eats nuts and berries, bathes in milk and honey and... sorry, i went too far.
