itches!

everything seems to lag these days. the wi-fi in my campus' starbucks is slower than a wingless fly, i got so fed up yesterday while waiting for the boyfriend that i just gave up all hopes on surfing the net and chucked my earphones into my ears and let the music blast away the voices and the weirdy psych-delic music that was playing in there. starbucks is freezing by the way.

finished reading my second mitch albom book, and i have to say, he is really good at writing about death and how it links people. not in a morbid way, of course, but in such a way that lessons are learnt. not about to do a book review here, but i loved the book. it was his own view of heaven, which is not exactly biblical, but the story is fiction after all. :)

had my scholarship interview yesterday afternoon. they were late, of course, because taylors so adheres to the malaysian timing, half an hour late for like, EVERYTHING. Go Taylor's! -____- already la waiting in some isolated room with the air cond blasting at 17 degrees. after what took like forever it was finally my turn, and it didn't go as well as expected. the minute i sat down, i was told that ;

"there are a lot of other applicants for this scholarship, and we would like to give higher preference to those who are less fortunate and more deserving. you already have one scholarship, why do you think we should grant you this scholarship now?"

i was dumbfounded for a few seconds and i answered the best i could. so it went on and on and on. was surprisingly casual, not too tense. but if i don't get this scholarship i'll kill someone. i worked so damn hard during foundation to attain a BETTER scholarship so my dad doesn't have to pay so much of my fees and now you're telling me you have a tight budget for scholarships? with that said, there are suddenly a million tvs sprouting up all over campus for ads and messages. smart move with all our tuition fees? hmmmm.

enough said, i don't even want to start on the lousy admin at the DO. urghhhh.

pest control came today, so me, sis and mum bounded off to---my next door neighbour's house to tumpang for an hour while they released toxic water based fumes to knock out those evil blood sucking moronic tiny dots that are also known as cat mites forever and ever and ever. i woke up this morning with ten new bites. one of those were on my finger. they're getting creative. i have bright red and itchy dots on my ankles, toes, feet, thighs, arms, calves, shins, shoulders, and now my right index finger.

i googled for pictures of cat mites to show here, but i couldn't find one that didn't look so grossly repulsive with their disgusting black fangs and weirdly feathered legs so i decided not to post them up for the sake of saving everyone's appetite.

have a great march!
