Superb Guy

So I've been spending my precious hours with this brilliant guy. Met him awhile back. When? Since degree started. Where? Uhm thru Google.  How? Whenever I needed a better explanation of..
Life?
Love?
Nope, none of the above.
(Oh gosh, who is this laaa?!)
Well at any time I needed an economist by my side. He'll be there.
He won't exactly be there. But I can reach him on the internet (wth, is she for serious?)
And you guys could too! Any future economists out there? Do click on the link if you are!

Introducing Khan Academy! (ekeleh, yes i know i'm lame but he is superb!)
I'm so thankful I found this 'online classroom/tuition'.
I like how you learn thru videos. Really makes me understand Economics better. From the Economics history to graphs and equations or what not. Everything is explained thru a video. It takes only a few minutes for a sub-topic. Rather than searching for answers from multiple websites, this takes the least of my time. I hate reading long essays, they tend to confuse me. For me, a summary of a theory is the best to interpret. Hehe, the less the better.

Okay, back to Khan. (since the econs online tutor is a guy, I assume he's Khan)
Seriously, I think I reach to him (Khan Academy) more than my friends! All thanks to finals. Goodbye social life, I'll see when I see you.

ps : We can learn anything from anywhere

Go Away Cicak!

 What is it like living on-campus accommodation and surrounded by Msia's rainforest? Oh, I can tell you how it is. Cicak (gecko), cockroaches, birds (my alarm clock) and even bats be living with you. From diploma years till now, I am still dealing with them. I'm alright with cockroaches but not cicak(s)! I loathe them.You know it's like they know you're scared of them so they'll be around more often. Sigh. I have had so many memories with them. They always seem to pop out in my life when I least expect it. Always giving me a heart attack. 

Once upon a time in Machang, a cicak was in my cup. Yeap, my cup guys. It decided to greet me early morning (when I'm half awake). Just when I wanted to get my breakfast done, I was about to grab my cup and I saw it staring at me. It wasn't even running away from me. As if it was his cup! Pfft. I was too scared to do anything so I woke my girls up.

'Babies, there's a cicak in my cup'
'What? Feezaaaa Halid' (not my fault cicak loves to kacau me)

All of us just stared at it, even moved the cup and yet it didn't move. We gave up and went to class. I was distracted in class tho, couldn't get it out of my mind. After class, I tried spraying Shieldtox. Failed. Even sprinkled hot water. Failed. At last, B just took the cup and threw the cicak out of the window. As simple as that, it was gone.  

My story with it doesn't end here guys. 

Now, this happened in Al's room (Notts). So it was that one particular night I decided not to hang at her room. As I was about to sleep, Al rang me.

'Babe, there's a cicak in my closet!'
'Closet, seriously?!'

Rushed to her room and we both just stared at the closet with hangers. Preparing ourselves for war! Well, obviously we didn't have the balls to shoo it out so Al had to call her floor-mate to do it. It managed to get out of the closet by itself. How? By flying/jumping out! Got the shock of our lives, shouted like mad. And yet it was still in the freaking room. Altho it was a baby cicak but oh god it was fast as a Puma. One moment it was at the corner, suddenly it's at the edge of the room.We moved the furnitures, everything was everywhere. At the end, the hall tutor helped us out. Finally! After the shouting and chaos, our cicakman saved us. 

Why you do this to me, cicak?
Look, even when I'm away from campus you're in our group chat. If you're not physically around, you'll somehow be mentally present!

Pity Nards had to deal with you all alone. Go away!

Just Blend and Drink

I'm a big fan of smoothies. Boost Juice, Juice Works, La Juiceria (current fav) but most of all homemade ones are the best. With my target for now to stay healthy and not get sick, I shall try to be more rajin to make smoothies every morning again. I used to make one everyday for breakfast and dinner (yeap, i was diligent once). Hmm is there any frozen smoothies in ice cubes here? Hehehe so I could just throw them in the blender and tadaa my smoothie is all done! 

I wish La Juiceria is my home. Have you guys tried it before? They offer cold-pressed juices and detox shots. I tried Goodness Green, PAM and Beet Aid. I love the Goodness Green the most. How I wish I have my own juice bar at home and say goodbye to self made juices/smoothies! Oh wells, life is not made to be easy.

Fact #1 : I don't like cutting fruits (the first to run from cut fruits duty) so I tend to grab bananas, strawberries and blueberries only for my smoothie.
It can be really boring at times if I have the same smoothie everyday. Pfft, I must not be lazy then. But today I was lucky, Dira made one for me. I love you sis. 
Recipe : Just blend 1 banana, 1/2 cup each blueberries and pineapple. Yummyy

What's the perfect juice/smoothie recipe?

No time off


It's the time of the semester again, finals taking over my life. Why do we have to go through this? :( Day and night facing the same old thing. Hello pens to goodnight ink-less pens.

My study break has officially started and yet it feels ages since I smell freedom. Altho, I had no lectures this month but the amount of work and notes I have, oh boy. As if Parkinson's Law applies to my degree life, 'work expands to fill the time available for it's completion'. 

I hate the fact I'm always hungry when I study. I tend to grab anything edible that's inches away from me. Always wanting to munch on something, bad! So to avoid that I'm trying my best to drink 3 litres of water to feed my hunger. Go Feeza you can do this! 

Oh, and I got sick a day before my Malaysian Studies exam (thank god, not a major subject). Still, such a bad timing. So now, without fail I chug all the vitamins needed for my precious body. I can't afford to get sick, not right now. InsyaAllah.
