Switching Routines

After a week of staying at home on semester break, I can say that I've switched my routine.

Big 'Yay'!

Okay, that was pointless, but I love it.

I've swore to myself that I'll spend the first week for MYSELF.

This means that I'll do what I want- ALONE.
... And possibly, without getting out of the house because I'm just darn lazy.

I know that at this point, some of you would be choking me while screaming,
"Get out, Jaz! Get a LIFE!"

Well, believe me. THIS is a part of my life.
I've been holding myself for one semester to go crazy with these stuff!

So of course, dedicating one week of it is an understatement to the fact that I was actually holding back for four months at least.


Morning:

I wake up. Early for Subuh.

Then as soon as my parents went off for work, I'll lie on my bed and switch on my PS2.
YES, my baby for this whole holiday.

Of course I'll play only ONE game:
Persona 4

*squeals*
It's such an awesome game!
One of the most flexible RPG ever! Ever!!!

It's only at noon that I'll start digging in my kitchen for my breakfast,
which by that hour should rightfully be called- Lunch.

--- Of course, I would be too lazy and went for the easiest thing to eat,
Maggie.


And my day is also filled with surfing the net.
Or rather, surfing for JE goodies.

I'd download various subs from awesome fansubbers around the world,
watch them, admire the beauty of these Japanese men, and laughed my head off because they are just naturally funny.

My two favorite groups to watch are Arashi and V6.

*fangirl squeals*
Aren't the boys full of glittering awesomeness?!


Okay, I do know that my fangirl ways have never failed to make me look like a dumb bum.
But that's just who I am, kay?

Evening:
It was only at this time that I realized, I haven't showered for the day yet!
And I'm supposed to wash the pile of dishes at the sink, do the laundry, pick up clothes from outside, fold clothes, hang clothes, keep the house tidy etc etc.

And I only have 2 hours to finish all that before my mom gets home and lecture me on my bad habits of procrastinating.

Why oh why?
Why do I master the art of procrastinating?
Why can't I effortlessly succeed in getting-things-done-FAST?

My stomach would be growling in the evening too.
Ugh, I hate it when I forgot to do the number one chore of my life-
EAT and FEED MYSELF. At home.


-----
One similarity it has to my routine back in college is-
I hardly get out of my house/ room.

But the differences are pretty glaring.

I depend less on my cellphone.
Yes! I can officially certify that I don't have the being-too-dependent-on-your-cellphone-syndrome.
At least not when I'm at home.

:)

But it's a dangerous thing.
Because my cellphone is the thread that keeps me in touch with my social life.
Which mainly consists of... erm, 2 people?


All in all, this is my holiday routine.
Happy with it so far.
And no, taking a course- related job wouldn't make me as happy just yet.

I'll definitely get out of my house with some friends.
But for the first week (and maybe a bit longer),
I think I'll indulge.

:))))

Home, Finally

I got home today.

I went to change into my t-shirt and shorts.

I dashed into my sister's room,
making a so- called grand entrance,
with the superman pose and a proud face.

"I'm baaaaaccckkk!!!"

Jazmeen, my sister, groaned with dread,
"Gawd, no! ... I mean, oh hello!"

No, she didn't even bother to paste on a plastic smile for me.
Heartbroken.

I looked hurt,
"What did you say? Why?!"

She sighed,
"It has been peaceful for awhile.
Everybody does their own work and we're pretty quiet.
And then YOU just had to come back."

"What's wrong if I come back? It'll still be peaceful..."

"No! When you come back, the house will be a mess.
And THIS happens!"


*** She was refering 'THIS' to my squealings of joy over little things and my tendency to roll over cushions and beds.
... I think.



Then my brother, Asyraf was screaming as he went up the stairs and got into my mom's room.

Indeed, he screamed because his arms and body were tied up with his belt.

My mom flipped.

"Who did this?!"

"Ayah."

"What was he thinking?! This is dangerous!
Jazreen, take it off!"

I tried. But it's too tight
Jazmeen tried. But it's still too tight.
My mom tried. She failed too.

Jazmeen just had to voice out something that made my mom flipped even more.



"I guess Asyraf will have to live like this for the reeeesssstttt of his life..."

"Where's your ayah? Call your ayah!!!"

"Erm... He's not around."

"This is his fault!"

When we eventually got to untie my brother,
Jazmeen and I went out of my mom's room.

Jazmeen just breathed in the air and said,

"Ah, so this is the 'normal' life..."

Accepted

Most of the time, people approach you because of your strengths and specialties.

And they eventually accept you as who you are, including your weaknesses.

But have you ever found someone who finds your weaknesses and mistakes endearing?

That they approach you FOR your weaknesses and mistakes?

That they want to stay friends with you BECAUSE OF your weaknesses and mistakes?

I'm talking about the kind of people who finds your stupidity and cluelessness as something sincerely amusing,
your mood swings as something to be admired,
Or your horrible, screechy laugh as music to their ears.

I'm talking about people who loves you for being imperfect.
People who look at your weaknesses as your strengths.

I have.

Only a few people that can be counted in one hand throughout my life.

But it's the best blessing that God has give me.

Study Study Week

I had 4 highlighters of different colours.

And I think I got carried away when I started highlighting most of the texts in my textbooks.

I dunno, maybe it's out of excitement.
:P

Study Week Comeback

Remember in my first post?
I said that I think I'm ready to open up again, right?

WRONG!

There are things happening that I just prefer for it to be kept quiet.

Yes, a lot of things have happened that I just stopped bothering to blog anymore.

But of course, I've been blogging since Form 2,
How can I deny the urge to blog for so long?

Well, now I'm in the mood to blog again.

Right now is my study week.
But for my batch, we have 3 weeks before papers starts.

So I got back home, not bringing any books, with no intention of studying at all.

I'm truly taking a week off at home to rest fully after an exhaustive month of assignment submissions and tests.

So my routine is as usual as before.
Whenever I'm on holidays,
I'll stay at home and hardly go out.

Watch tv, surf the net, download mp3s, listen to mp3s, sleep, and eat.

The only difference now is that I'll have about 2 hours of phone conversations a day with some good friends.

Sigh.

Okay, this might mean that I have no life.

But this is way more relaxing than the life I have back in UiTM for the past few months.
