My first stir-fry experience

Throughout 21 years of my life, I have learnt to cook instant noodles, rice, vegetable soup, spaghetti bolognaise and carbonara, fry eggs with bacon, and er, bake with Sharon once, and used to occasionally help my aunt bake cakes. It isn't much because I never really bothered or had the need to cook, until recently. Lol.

I have wasted much time this holiday and am sort of saving for a bigger cause :p, so, I was finally desperate enough, to stir-fry my own brunch today! The beginning was: oh man, the middle was: oh no oh no, and the ending was actually not too bad. Haha.

Note: I was all on my own with no supervision whatsoever, and NO RECIPE, equipped with only the few cooking theories I have learnt:

1. Hot oil in contact with water POPs

2. Use small flame to cook meat and eggs to get to the insides, also avoids burning the outer layer

3. Fry onions in oil first

4. I think you have to heat the pan first

I decided to do a Chicken-Corn-Mushroom Combo, because I like all three >_<. Absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.

The start: 

Had hell of a time chopping the chicken. No idea how to get through the bones. But managed in the end, not too bad I must say. Though, I should have just used the breast meat and leave the wing and drumstick alone >_<.

Prepared garlic

Couldn't find onions

Salt

Water

Corn

Button Mushrooms

It was time to light the fire, heat up the wok, and put some oil in. But when I did that, the oil left a big black mark on the wok. I got nervous and off the fire. Thinking whether I should continue after that. swt.

After much thinking and consideration, since all the ingredients had been prepared, I decided to try again, and thought that, maybe the wok was too hot HAHA. I cleaned the wok and dried it and started the fire again. This time I told myself, I'm just gonna go all the way! Fingers crossed to whatever the dish will turn out to be. As long as it's not burnt, it's edible. lol.

So I poured in the oil right after starting the fire, phew! No black stain. 

I threw in the garlic and ginger and fried it for a while, turned the flame smaller and waited a bit. 

Okay, I think I smell the garlic and ginger... looks hot, hmmm.. 

Okay, seems like time... 

I threw in the chicken pieces.. 

Looked dry, fear it would burn, so, added water, hoping it wouldn't splat. 

To my delight, it did not :D.. It was then that I remembered the dishes mum used to cook were a bit starchy, so I threw in some corn flour lol.

Stir fried, added some salt.. waited a bit..

[The whole process sounded like I had everything under control. But while I was doing it, I was nervous, doing each next thing as it pops into my head, one after another >_<.]

The chicken seemed to turn white already, I had no idea how long I had to wait, so, after a few more minutes, I took a piece out, used two forks and spread it apart to see the inside. Oh, not cooked.. Put back in, fry more..  After repeating the process a couple more times, I threw in the corn and mushrooms. :D

After a few more minutes, I decided it was done. :D

Put the Chicken-Corn-Mushroom Combo on 2 plates. It looked, not so nice. >_<. And I ran out of spring onions, so, no nice greenish deco.

I took my first bite, to my surprise, it tasted just right! Wasn't tasteless, wasn't salty!! :D Proud of it, I ate a breast meat cube.. Wow! Tasty!!! It had just the right amount of garlic taste I wanted :D

Just as I was beginning to feel proud of myself, I took a bite out of a bigger piece of the chicken: the drumstick which I didn't manage to chop into smaller pieces. It was still reddish inside and the meat still slightly pale-ish. T_T. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.....

Oh oh, before the bf ate it, I put it in the left overs in the microwave, and everything turned out perfect again! no reddish meat inside! :D and he said it was not bad :D

Hence, that was my first stir-frying experience. I must be talented in cooking LOL

See, not bad right? ^^

1.1.11

Happy 2011 everyone! I hope you all had a great celebration last night. 

2011 is here, and even though it was only a few hours away from last year, and that another year is just another number, it still feels like something new, a new 'time', a fresh day, another chance, a starting line. I still feel pretty drained from the past year, but I'm so gonna inject myself with optimism, and prepare myself for the best/worst.

Looking back 2 years ago, everything was different. I too feel very very different. How I'd like to stay back there, be forever young and innocent. But without getting here, maybe, I wouldn't know how to appreciate everything that much now no? Never mind

Anyway,  I found out I made resolutions on the eve of 2009! Completed half of them by 2010, then completely neglected everything throughout 2010. 

So Imma keep track of those 10 resolutions, and hopefully, manage to complete them and be my ideal self. hahaha. :)

Oh, here are some of my holiday nails. :)

New Year nails

Christmas Nails

Christmas nails which I ruined on Christmas eve >_<.

Till next time xoxo

I liveee(d)

Hello all :D A picture to bring the Art of Daphy back to life! My 2010 Prom nails!

So sorry for my absence. It was quite a long emo, confusing, self discovery, pre-quarter life crisis (maybe), bla bla bla phase. The things I went through, or might still be going through, is so much like what one of my favorite bloggers, sweatlee.com is in. I feel like I understand everything she writes, all her feelings and thoughts that she expressed. The situation's different but the feeling feels somewhat similar. And the comments on those emo posts show that alottt of people go through this. All I know is, right can seem wrong and wrong can seem right, that you'd suddenly not know what is right and what is wrong anymore. One can get sooo lost and down, we'd wanna rip our heart out, stab it a few times over, and try to staple it back T_T. The guilt, the misery, the confusion, the wants, the needs, the could haves, the should have beens, could really bring one to the edge of the cliff on tip toes, wait there, and decide whether or not to lean forward. T_T 

But life does go on, and the wind will push us back on our feet. And we know we have to grow up and get over ourselves, and be better than that. Hence, I'm smiling again and hopefully, everyone else that are and might go through all this be strong. Life in 2010 has been really harsh, for most people I know. But, we'll walk this road together, through the storm, whatever weather, cold or warm, Just let you know that, you're not alone, holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (Eminem 2010). >_<.

So, since I'm back, hopefully there'll be more art, happier art, and pictures. Getting my new phone in a week HOPEFULLY. So desperately need a camera. I realized I blog so much less without one! 

Wow, since I've typed so much already, I'll just leave all other things till next time lah, lol. Good night.

itsbeena WHILE

It's been a while!

But I'm still alive and kicking! Fighting all of life's challenges with my awesome martial Art of Daphy! MUAHAHHA *hopeful music in the background*

>_<.

Anyway, took a couple of pictures of the past weeks on various outings and events BUT, don't feel like uploading them because the all picture's quality's awful T_T. Pains of not owning a tiny digital camera anymore. There are other good pics though, that are a bit long overdue, causing one to not have the mood to blog about them anymore T_T

As for my artsy side, stopped drawing/ painting/ pianoing since classes started. It's the 6th week already and I've been feeling busy from the very first day.

Nail art however, is still a weekly thing thank god. :D

And I recently stumbled upon this awesome French nail art site! http://nail-art.over-blog.fr/

I LOVE the designs they have! You can find the tutorials on YouTube too! Check out their Gallery. I'm so in love with the designs. Gonna attempt them or get inspirations from them soon. Muahahaha..

That's all for now. Till the next time! Byes

Oh I am so busy

SO so busy! Well, not really, but, seriously! :S

I'm like the sophisticated woman in bubz video of the 2nd type of girls:

Kidding.

I'm just really frustrated because I had to DRAG myself outta bed "7 early 8 early/ wee hours" at dawn in the morning to attend an 8.30am tutorial class, which I really didn't want to attend because I'm so lack of sleep (Lorna said my under eyes are black and I look sick), but got up to go to it anyway because I'm in my final year, and more mature and hardworking and disciplined (somewhat wtf). 

I later, sped to uni, arrived 10 minutes late, only to meet my classmates walking out of the elevator. They're Indonesian, I don't really know them, but they were so kind as the first thing they told me when they saw me was, "class cancelled! Lecturer's still sick".  I was like =________= because he cancelled yesterday's 8.30am class also without notifying us too! :( 

That's not the end! 

I decided not to waste my petrol for speeding all the way to uni, so I called Agnes, who was already in uni to have breakfast. Had some thick Neslo (coffee+Milo) and sandwiches which caused my morning stomachache to come. My morning stomachaches are hell I tell you, when I feel I have to go, I HAVE TO go lol. So I went to the toilet(s) to find out that the WHOLE uni did not have toilet paper because the supplier was on holiday like wtffml. And I was desperate so, my very smart secret agent mind came to play. It's really simple! :D SO useful if you're in a desperate situation as I was in. >_<. But I am not liable for any misfortunes/ mistakes/ accidents whatsoever that may happen from performing the task >_<. 

To perform the following act-out-of-desperation task, one must always have a ready sanitary pad prepared, and must also ensure that the toilet cubicle has a clean, working water hose.

After doing the "business", was the tricky part. Firstly, use the water hose to wash away all crap and dirt around wherever you know, u need wash. Do it while sitting on the toilet bowl so you prevent wetting your legs. After you are sure you have not a single speck of icky smelly brown coloured stuff left on your skin, use the sanitary pad to wipe away the water. And you're clean for the day! Well of course you should always wash up when you go home. But, see! so simple! tell me I'm smart. Damn, sanitary pad companies should hire me to think of the various alternative uses for sanitary pads. I think I could think of more! 

Anyway gtg do my assignment. "aih~! So Bussieh!"

I don't think there'll be many updates for maybe a month now, because I'm going through this phase where er, blogging is the last thing on my mind now. Cheers =)~

...modnaR

The week passed by in a blink of an eye. It will be the 2nd week of classes soon. I think the holidays were so good, it gave me so much time to do everything I wanted and needed to do, until it got me so bored.. And now that school has started, all my mind thinks about doing is, homework. :D Hope this doesn't fade away too soon!

Oh yeah, sold my little white baby, the Sony T2... Cos Imma get a better one soon! yay~ 

Got caught up with Pretty Little Liars too, finished the first 10 episodes in three days thanks to Lorna who's been feeding me dramas. Yum! This one, compared to Gossip Girls, is so much more frustrating T.T It even creeps me out sometimes because it involves a dead person. Can't wait till Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries and Glee starts again! aaa~ oh and 90210.. Oh no! This is me getting over excited over many things at once again >_<.

Tried sitting in the FIAT X19 on a sunny Sunday with the top dowm, Dammmnnn was it hot! But when the car moved it didn't feel that hot la, very windy.. But the sun still shines. Thank goodness for sunblock lol.

See how bright the sky is! Night time is way better with the top down.. Cause it's cooler, and above you, will only be stars and the moon ;)

Sweeter nails for the weekend. Light purple base. Shimmering purple grid, and light pink flowers with a silver rhinestone in the middle.

Till next time! bye

Do do do do do the...

Have you ever felt,

So frustrated with yourself because you can't get yourself to do things you have planned so nicely to do when the time to do the things come?

When the time comes, you just don't feel like doing it because it's not what you want to do then. All the muscles in your body tells you, you don't want to do this right now! Do something else! Then you do something else and leave the thing you were supposed to do aside.

And the process above repeats itself and you find yourself never accomplishing the thing you wanted to do. >_<. Sometimes, you don't even know which you should do first anymore. 

I feel so terribly that way. The things I have been putting aside:

1.) Read Breaking Dawn.   Problem: Reading August's CLEO

2.) Read friend's Shopaholic & Baby.   Problem: Must read Shopaholic's Wedding first

3.) Read Shopaholic's Wedding.   Problem: Reading Breaking Dawn first because it's more interesting. wtf

4.) Facial

5.) Treat cracked heels :S

6.) Arrange music in iTunes

7.) Clean old laptop

8.) Practice piano

9.) Draw something

10.) Blog

11.) Sell 2nd hand stuff

And many more :(

All because I want to stare at my PC, surf, read blogs and watch Glee D:

And also because I have to go out and do chores and watch new movies >_<.

And go window shopping

And go travelling

untill I'm broke :((((

The time will eventually come, it is the effort throughout the days leading to it that makes all the difference.

Sae-urdaiee

It's a Saturday night and I am at home at the usual prime time to head out. Hrm, the sentence sounds wrong and I don't bother to correct it because I am soooo like @@" this now. swt. My eyes feel dry and like wanna pop outta my sockets any second now. Feeling drained but not ready for bed yet, ya know the feeling?? wuds rong wif me?! Nvm >_<.

Maybe the reason I'm so tired is because it has been such an eventful 1 and half weeks. 

First there was the Basket Ball match. Went to catch the semi finals and finals.

Check out the scoreboard. 44 44 >_<. The black team, Duke and red team, Acex were quite good. Their scores were like so evened out until the last 2 quarters if I remembered correctly. Duke won yay.

The gurl friends I hang out with. :)

After that, the next week, there was Swinburne's got talent:

The whole multi-purpose hall was zh'ng-ed and filled with seats. By the middle of the show, the hall was full!

There were quite some talents there. I really liked Ruby, Daus and Elite Crew's performance. They were all exceptionally good at entertaining. The others were good too, admire their guts and talents much. Overall for RM7, it was quite worth it. First time hosting such an event and they really did quite well.

Owhkay, more beach pictures because I just can't get over them >_<. I dunno, pictures by the beach are just bright, clean, fun and very hard to get sick off. 

Talk about beach pictures, my friend went to Redang and took a pic of a beach wedding there with the beautiful bride and her Caucasian-look-alike groom. OMG it was BEAUTIFUL, wait, lemme just go steal the pic...

There! Don't  you just feel the love!?.. So romantic.. the perfect setting, perfect theme, perfect clothes! lol. heart to the very max. So tempted to have a beach wedding nxt time too >_<.

Anyway, enough of dreaming if not I'll be like Captain Jack Sparrow seeing crabs that can carry a ship. Omg, d'you see the crab!? I'm not going coockoo am I? >_<.

I love the background. I guess the cam was set to a really bright mode so all out pics look so final-fantasy-ish.

:)

Also met up with Kimberly like, once >_<. because I am busy. T.T and tired. T.T.

And tonight's a Saturday but couldn't be bothered to go out anymore. Not only because friends are all busy, but also because I still have left overs of this effin' flu I got from this sickness I got from going in and out of cool rooms to hot weather and back to cool rooms and so on till I got sick T.T

Very tired now, but will watch another Michelle Phan vid and maybe another episode of 90210. OMG I LOVE LIAM. He's hawt! ♥

Ok nights now. 

p/s: dunno why my fonts become like this wtf

pp/s: If this post is messy sorry, too tired/lazy to correct it :D muarh

Shewting stars

The song "Airplanes" by BoB feat Hayley Williams has been ringing in my head like every single minute since the first time I heard it. Especially Hayley's part,

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now"

It's so catchy (to me). I really never liked the famous songs from Paramore at all because I used to think they were damn noisy and annoying especially that "burry the castle" song that I told my BFFEEEEE I hated which she later ended up using as her dial tone (the toot toot sound you hear when you call somebody) wtf! Way to go Sharon! >_<. And le boyfie would also crank up the music when the song played on the radio for the sake of annoying me /.\" Wads with these people?!

Anywhoos, I shall stop my prejudice and start accepting Paramore into my life because of "Airplanes" (which was mainly sung by BoB >_<.) And once I did that, her songs on radio became slower and I actually liked them >_<.

Awh man outta topic again. I like the song and the meaning of it. From my point of view I think BoB's like emoing and saying that he misses the days when life was a lot more simpler. When he did things he loved just for fun with no pressure. Like, making music for the joy of it and not for the money, which I guess makes him depressed cos something that you loved has became something that causes you stress and pressure cos you're living on it. Something like that.

This let me see a piece of advice my dad gave me a few years back when I was still thinking of what degree I was gonna take, in a different point of view.

I was very interested and rather determined to pursue a subject of my talent. I wanted to make it better by going to a University that can help improve it and live on my talent later on in life because I thought I am good at it and I will really be successful that way. 

But dad told me off. He said let that be a hobby and get a more recognized degree. I used to think he was just too stingy to send me away to pursue it because there weren't any good universities of that subject locally. He supported his argument by saying, 'you do not want to live on what you love to do, because when you get into the real world, you might not love to do it anymore.' (summarized from original) Of course, then, I was even more pissed cos I didn't get what I want and didn't understand whatever he might have meant. I thought I loved what I did and would always love it.

But this song painted a different picture in my mind. When your whole life depends on something you like to do such as singing, which is your job that puts money on the table, as well as pressure, criticism, lovers and haters, would you still love to do it? Fewd fer thought?

Anyway, all that really isn't the reason why the phrase from the song is still ringing in my head. Instead, it's the 'how much you wish you could just wish' thing. We always face problems in life and how nice would it be if we could just look up, catch a shooting star, and wish that everything will be better, and it really comes true. If only there was such a thing as pure luck and a short cut to settling issues.

Omg, I am not emo, okay maybe a little... What to do, songs always touch a certain part of our emotions. They are so powerful. Especially Chinese songs!

Oh yeah, this is a piano version of "Airplanes" which is pretty fawesome. I feel so much from the pianist's expression lol, and of course the song and the order and tune she plays it in. Thumbs up. Have a listen:

That's all fer now, gtg do some catching up and get some sleep. Nights. :) xoxo

Siar Beach & Gunung Gading Trip

Went on this study trip to Siar Beach Resort on Saturday. Never heard of the place until I took this subject, Integrated Marketing Communication and had to do an assignment on it. Well, if you're as clueless as I was, it's located at Lundu. Around one and half hours drive from Kuching City. 

Stopped by Lundu town to use the Petronas toilet lol. And there's this nice scene behind the petrol station. Which reminds me very much of the crayon pictures I used to practice in primary school hehe.

The guy's car. Fancy, lowered, sporty but totally not suitable for the road entering the resort lols. The guys were sticking their heads out of the car to watch the road which was quite hilarious to look at from behind.

In the end they had to walk the whole stretch to lighten the car's burden to save it's "skirt". Poor car owner :p

After the serious stuff of collecting information and pictures from the resort's owner, we had some fun on the beach and lotsa cam whoring :D The guy behind, Kevin is really funny. Him and his stupid poses. Entertaining much. lol. Everytime I look at these pics, I can't help but L.O.L.

Some calculator on the beach they dug out from the sand LOL.

Siar Beach Resort has a really nice and clean and wide beach with a fantastic view. I won't say the same for the resort's bungalows itself but if you're in for cheap & simple & peaceful stuff. This has got to be the place you're looking for.

Hehe. Group pic on the sampan (small boat) on the sand.

Look at the amazing space. Heart to the max.

We proclaim ourselves the white team because we were all wearing white duh. 

More pics

This has got to be the best pic ever. Haha... Can't help laughing and loving this picture.

And it was time to leave the beach because of a drizzle.

Group pic with the boss before leaving :)

After lunch at Lundu, we decided we had enough energy to continue the trip so off we went to Gunung Gading. :D Me and Jacelyn who's from Johor I think haha.

We (the whole group of 9) paid RM20 to see the Rafflesia which had just bloomed 2 days ago. It has a life span of only 5 days and takes 9 months to bloom. How extremely lucky we were! The egg-look-a-like thing above is a Rafflesia seed. 

The Rafflesia. Biggest flower in the world. Which Kevin Sia proclaimed is his cousin (Raffle Sia) and forefather of Kenny Sia wtf. It's 55cm. And isn't as smelly as people claimed they were. But I did smell a bit of a rotten chicken smell, but that's only if you put your nose like really close to it.

Group pic of the one and maybe only chance with the Rafflesia.

Another group pic near the first waterfall.

I think this is like one of the only decent poses Kevin did. lmao.

:D Water fall no.1!

hehe!

Oh yeah, some of the pics here are courtesy of Jeff Chai and Hui Ching and Aida :D

Breath taking no?

They say he looks like he's running away from some monster predator or smthn lol.

And in the evening, it was time to go. Didn't manage to go to the other waterfalls. We were kinda in a rush to get back to Kuching but was accidentally lead by the guys all the way to Sematan lol. We missed the turning back to Kuching and spent another 15 minutes looking for it.

It was a fun trip indeed. These natural forest outings always surprise me. I was never much of a nature lover, but everytime I set out with friends into a place surrounded with trees and natural cool streams/ waterfalls, I always end up having the time of my life. Really hope the forests will always be around for our future generations to come. I shall be a little more of an environmentalist from now on lol.

Nights now.

I love Disney

Just watched the only Disney classic on CD that I have this morning, Pocahontas II T.T which I am not sure if it's a classic or not because there's a "II". Hmmm?

Anyway, it's still entertaining as ever. Makes me think of days when I was a little girl and was always bugging my parents to get me them video tapes. Yeah, those video tapes that always needed cleaning. They are now history T.T 

I miss those classic Disney fairy tales like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Aladdin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. They are just so beautiful, so original. These are truly classics that will always be loved.

Was also listening, singing and watching clips from the classics on Youtube such as,

Aladdin's A Whole New World

and


Beauty and the Beast's Tale as Old as Time

*sniff*
Brings back memories doesn't it?
Can't wait to find the DVDs or soft copies. 

Oh yeah, and waiting till the holidays to get "Journey to the West" the Zhang Wei Jian version from Kenny. Damn entertaining too. Used to watch it when I was in Primary school every Tuesday night after tuition. MISS much.
:'\

Mother's Day

I never really typed anything about her. I don’t know why every time the occasion came, I would be lost of words. I would either be too busy, or my mind would be locked off certain feelings so the words I wanted to say would never come out right.

This Mother's Day, I suddenly have the urge to say a lot of things that I don't like to say but rather write. Even so, after typing one and a quarter pages of what I feel, I am unable to post it up. Maybe it's too personal, maybe it's embarassing, maybe it just is better not for too many people to know, hard to explain the feeling.

All I know is I miss her. I do. And once in a while, I would wonder, how it would be like if she were around now... Now that I am an adult. I wonder how it would be like to share makeup ideas, go shopping together, how it would be like to do her hair and nails for her... Besides that, I would wonder if she agrees with the way I think now, wonder if my decisions would please/ be acceptable to her, wonder if she would be proud of who I have become. I never really understood her before, because I was young, ignorant, immature and rebellious. It's been five years now, I wonder if we would get along if she were here today.

All I could do now, is hope everyone out there love, appreciate, and respect your mothers. It's really hard to understand and go through their lives bringing us up the way they had. The way they had been strong for us in so many ways... Sometimes, just sit down and think, if we were in our mother's shoes and how we would be when dealing with ourselves.

T.T I have been a pain in the neck. But I know better now. Hope you guys do too.

Hope you guys had a great Mother's Day with your mums.

Happy belated Mother's Day

Temptation

I find it rather difficult to study in my bedroom. First of all, is because the table is a wee bit too narrow. Secondly, is definitely because it is way too comfortable. Especially after the maid has done her job. T.T 

Imagine your brightly lit room, warm-cozy-inviting, smooth and fresh smelling bed sheets straight out of the wash, not a speck of dust on the floor, cool air from air-conditioning, your favourite soft toys around your  thickest, softest pillow, and the bestest book you've been hooked on to for days/weeks....

Doesn't it just make you wanna, hug ur book and drop straight on your bed? Or maybe you don't like to read books: Doesn't it make you wanna shut the blinds, drop dead on your back, stretch your spine, breathe in the fresh soapy scent of your room and stare up at the ceiling, and smile in content?

That's exactly what I feel like doing now. My bed, looks, so, irrisistable to me... But! I have got to be more determined! And get back to my tiny table which is filled with books, pens, papers and a laptop, to finish studying Marketing Law for Monday! The contrast from my bed and table is like heaven and hell. T.T Where the temptation is actually heaven. Ironic! >_<.

Okay, time to snap out of it... Daph! yooou can doo it!!!!

School boos

Here I am, back again, with a random update of my current life.

As we all know, mid sem break is over and today, it's back to school. And as far as I know, all my friends in degree dreads the thought of waking up early to get to 830am class this morning. But life must go on as time does. Sigh. I had to literally draaag my body outta bed this morning. It was painful. Classes were worse. I could have just pass out on my chair if my iPhone hadn't kept me entertained.

Why do I despise starting classes again? BecAuse:

1.) Early mornings.

2.) School time starts running which brings deadlines. It's like tick tock tick tock the dynamite's gonna blow. T.T

3.) Pressure because of assignmnet deadlines.

4.) Waste of brain juice because of assignments.

5.) No dilly dallying, doing what I want when I want where I want because I have responsibilities of being a good student.

6.) Pressure for not scoring well from assignmnets.

7.) Exams.

8.) Assignment group work. Seriously, I find it sooo stressful when doing group work because for one, I feel the need to be prepared and extremely knowledgeable about our group work before hand if not, paiseh swt. Secondly, getting along with people is never an easy task, cos no one will think and do things exactly the way you would or want them to. Thirdly, u gotta keep up with each other, which is tiring. Taking our own time is defenitely more enjoyable.

9.) Individual assingmnets. These waste the most brain juice and is prone to last minute completion.

10.) Early mornings.

Sigh, 8.30 class tomorrow morning again. Nights now.

*pass out*

Reminiscing

Click "play" to listen to the song while reading the lyrics :)

Lyrics:

"Look at this photograph

Every time I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red?

And what the hell is on Joey's head?

And this is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we'd ever went without

The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do

Criminal record says I've broke in twice

I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late

Should I go back and try to graduate?

Life's better now than it was back then

If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh oh oh

Oh God I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye

Remember the old arcade?

Blew every dollar that we ever made

The cops hated us hanging out

They said somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio

And sing along with every song we know

We said someday we'd find out how if feels

To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous that I nearly missed

She's had a couple of kids since then

I haven't seen her since God knows when

Oh oh oh

Oh God I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town

I miss their faces

You can't erase

You can't replace it

I miss it now

I can't believe it

So hard to stay

Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days

I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph

Every time I do it makes me laugh

Every time I do it makes me"

Song by Nickelback - Photograph

There are just some times in life when we listen to some songs, especially those songs that relates or reminds  us or gives us that familiar feeling of a past we once lived through. So sad that it's all the past and all we have left of it are photographs and a few pieces of the memory deep in our minds. But I'm glad with all that I have in my photographs. And I'm gonna live life everyday the best I can to ensure that in the future, when I look back, I'll laugh at every single memory and photograph there was. :)
