Candy filled thoughts #2: Me? Vroom vroom? Driving?

Never have I ever imagined myself driving. You see, I'm so spoiled rotten into thinking that there will never be a day where anyone would see me holding a driving license. It literally took me an entire year to finally get my license, not because I had to retake the test or anything. Just the embarrassing fact where my procrastination and lack of confidence game was so strong to the point where I lengthened a short 3 month process to a year. 

Now now now, before you ask how did I even stretched it out to an entire year, let me tell you how unmotivated and scared I was, oki?

1. It took me forever to sign up for driving lessons (I was spoiled rotten, remember. BLESS ALL OF MY DRIVERS)
2. My driving uncle was very scary (well...not after I told him how much he scared me lol)
3. College was taking up a lot of my free time (I have poor time management ok, I'm sorry I can't handle both)
4. I had WAY TOO MANY long breaks. I literally go for 2 lessons, take a month off and forget how to drive. Continue another 2 lessons and take a 6 months break, and again forgot how to function a car AGAIN. Then all of a sudden I was super into driving like I cleared out my remaining hours during one fine semester break then my uncle set an exam date which I thought he was joking cause I still think that I'm a horrible driver but during the next lesson I found out that he wasn't joking so I had to hardcore practice every other day. 
5. Big cars scare me (especially when they just cut into my lane out of no where???)
6. I have no sense of direction
7. The raging heat from the sun is so not cute.
8. The route is super jam

but lets just say, if someone as big as a scaredy cat like me can do it, you can too! 

So to sum up this whole post, yeah I finally got my license on the 9th of May last week and my ultimate motivation was the urge to drive to Kepong for this dimsum I used to eat all the time lol. (but my bestie crushed my dreams cause she said that dim sum place not yummy anymore. super sad now.)

PS. No. I do not have a car, and I don't intend to drive for the next n years hahahaha bye

Until next time xoxo

Treasure sleep

Remember the days in primary when you'd constantly boast about sleeping late? I remember back then sleeping past 1 in the morning was a cool thing. Not in college. At least, not in my book. I'm constantly craving for the days I get to sleep at 10 now. This is when you're constantly having 2AM, 3AM and 5AM nights. Sleeping at 10 is the real cool.

Ever since stepping into college, I've slowly understood why my friends that went into January intake socialized with me lesser now. You either deal with several 5AM nights a week(only when there's like 5 assignments due on the same week) or you lose your social life. Because trust me, I ain't risking that cgpa of mine (then again I'm so bad in presentations I've probably dragged my cgpa down already la). I'll get my work done even if it means getting 0 sleep. 

Come to think of it, I guess it's really just my time management issues. I admit, procrastination suck. Why do we even procrastinate anyways. I could be lazing in bed for two whole hours on the day before the assignment submission dateline counting the amount of assignments backlog. This usually follows with me crying at the amount displayed on my fingers then just simply rolling in bed, self reflecting then getting back up and go into my "deal with it, you gotta finish this" mode. yup. life. heh. Me being someone really slow also adds as a disadvantage sigh. But I guess most of the nights when I'm literally dying with assignments I'm always blessed with food and digital guitar lives. 2AM food deliveries are win. heshteggoverblessedfatlifepls 

This week seemed more peaceful. Other than the news that I have two presentations coming up (oh the horror) and me working on a couple new assignments that I feel utter hopeless in, I guess it's a pretty decent week. I mean, I had quality bonding time with my bestie over mille crepes, that's pretty rare y'know. After all, the last two weeks really ain't my week. Assignments and homework flooded to the point where I had to go for a facial, tell me how bad is that. Can't wait for tomorrow. Insidious and ice cream's gonna be good. :3

Photography class is win cause Ley korkor takes good shots of my hair hahahahahaha

fresh

entering college, new life, new blog.

jokes.

I had to switch back to blogger because I calculated the cost and figured that I don't wanna self-host my blog anymore. haha, 

pic creds to Jas baeb // & Ryan's cam is dope

Well that aside, yup, I survived the first week of college and so far so good I guess. I've always been more of an introvert in the past, having feared to make the first move and all but I guess walking up to a total stranger and placing your hand out, then proceeding to introduce yourself ain't thaaaaaaat tough. 

Despite it being just the second week of class, the amount of work you get in college is already starting to scare me. I mean, I already have like 1 presentation and 3 assignments pending. Then there's also the need in me to balance out my social life too! Let's just say late nights & waking up early then putting on contacts is a big nono in my book. So how? hobo to class every day with specs la. Even my makeup game died completely. :( I initially wanted to look less like a decaying zombie for college okkk... but I guess scrap that, pandas are pretty much well loved too, no?

Assignments and presentations aside (trust me, presentations scare me to no end. Just cause I've somewhat been able to approach people to make friends now, I still blank out and my brain just decides to malfunction the minute I get in front of the class.) I'm having a pretty good time. My breakfast buddies are entertaining, lunch breaks are pretty ok, met really nice and cool new friends that double as your ranting buddy & inside jokes buddies. 

I checked the back up I did on my old blog, my last blog post was way back in January...I think? Seeing how long I've been away from blogging, there's so much to talk about, but I guess I'll leave those for another time...or...never haha. I do have more makeup reviews & food reviews coming up soon!
