I feel like crying

My eyes have been feeling hot since last hour. It's nothing serious actually, I am just revisiting some of my surveying lessons that I had when I was in Uni. These include lots of calculation, formulas and numbers. These had never been my best quality. I remembered doing well for the coursework yet i flunked my exam miserably. I did not particularly enjoyed the classroom bit of the course, yet I loved the part where we got to get out and conduct practicals using the pricey survey gadgets. 

Anyways, I will be having a job interview in two weeks time. I really want this job as I believe it will help me broaden my career prospect. I want to do well this time. Hence, revising and doing my homework on basic stuff. I never thought revisiting basics would be this hard. Sigh.

Till then.

Hunger vs Hangover.

I feel like writing today.

I went to The Mall yesterday. The original plan was to watch Fault in Our Stars but we we late for the movie. So my husband decided to go shoes shopping. I got bored and left him for the bookstore. Upon entering the bookstore, the first thing I saw was The Love Detective by Alexandra Potter. I've read couple of her books and kinda like her. So I picked up the book.

The synopsis is interesting though I can't remember what's it about while typing this. Hehe. So I just bought the book, went to McDonald and went home.

I started reading it and stopped at page 14. It's kinda slow  or maybe I was hungry and I can't concentrate on my reading. Or maybe I am still having book hangover from Attachment. 

I believed it mostly the latter. I just can't get enough of Lincoln and Beth. Hehe. These two are so hot together and the fact that their real love story only started in the second last chapter is excruciating. Oh well...

Since I am doing nothing at work at the moment, I think I need to start on oThe Love Detective. See if I can find the ePub version of it in my iPad. Plus, I need to do something just so my energy won't go wasted.

“And doing nothing takes more energy than you’d think. I’m tired all the time.” - Lincoln (from Rowell, Rainbow. “Attachments.” Penguin, 2011. iBooks)

That is now my favourite quote when explaining why I am constantly tired.

Till then.

Friday.

I had surprise English test today.

It was for my Business Writing Training at work. I think I took more that one hour to complete the test which consists of 50 multiple choices questions and 3 short essays of less than 300 words. I did not write more than 100 words for each essay though. I was too lazy to think about how to structure the essay. That was the first lesson we had on last training. I guess, writing is not my thing. I did well in my English exam when I was in school. In fact I scored a strong B for my English O level, which was good enough for me. Yet, when I took a close look to my result breakdown, I almost failed the writing part. Nevertheless, my oral English and comprehension part were strong enough to push my grade to a B.

Anyway, I hope I will pass this test with a good grade. If not, it would be an embarrassment as it was supposed to be an easy test for someone who reads and writes in English for whole her academic life.

Fingers cross.

I also went out to watch Transformers: Age of Extinction in the afternoon after our HR manager allowed us to take the rest of the afternoon off. Honestly, I did not put any expectation on the movie as the last Transformers movie broke my heart. Well, it was mostly because Megan Foxx was not there and a random model replaced her yet I did not see the relevance of her character in it. I am making a conclusion here, every Transformers movie need to have a hot girl in it. Maybe it's like a signature thing for Transformers, I don't know.

But this Transformers is surprisingly awesome despite that they changed the whole cast. Alright, it was awesome because having Mark Walhberg in it is somehow refreshing and it feels new. Oh and I like the character of the villain who is not so villain. I like this actor, though I don't know his name. But I think I have watched him in some movies and he is funny. It's like watching Mark Wahlberg other movies and not Transformers! Sorry robots but you guys kinda look tired and boring too.

Wow, I have mentioned Mark Wahlberg twice. Did you know that I like watching him acting and watched some movies of him yet I never knew his name until my colleague told me? I am hopeless when it comes to naming actors/ actresses but enjoy their movies. Mark Wahlberg and the not so villain character and the Chinese lady are awesome and funny and they make me forgot the rest of the cast, the racer and the Yeager's daughter. I can't even remember their characters' name by now. Oh well.

Anyways, I read another book by Rainbow Rowell - Attachment. I love this one compare to first one I read. Apperantly, Attachment is her debut novel. I fell in love with the leading character Lincoln who has no social life, tired of his job though he has nothing to do, sweet, good listener, cute and I think he is a guys ever girl asks for. He is in love with Beth whom he never saw.

I was thinking, earlier today, if I were to write a review on Attachment, I will do it in another post. Anyways, I am re-reading some parts of the book because I was rushing towards the ending and niece and nephews ambushed my bedroom last night hence I lost focus.

Till then.

Office Lounge

It's Ramadhan, Alhamdulillah. 

Work is more relaxing during Ramadhan and I only need to spend 7 hours at work compare to 7.5 hours during normal working days.. HAHA I know right, its only 30 minutes difference. 

Anyways, my sister got me an ipad mini. It's white and matches my iphone 5s. I am happy that now I have bigger screen for reading. Not that I've done so much readings these days but yeah, at least I have better device for reading to start with. I bring my ipad mini to work every day, to play hayday and yesterday I started reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I hang out at our office lounge and read. Actually, its my very own office lounge because it consists of one old seater sofa and noone wants to sit on it except me. I named it office lounge and I keep the name to myself. And yes, I wear fitflop to work. Simplicity at it best. No, laziness at it best!

At the moment I write this post, I already finish reading Fangirl, it was okay for me. No review as I am too lazy to write and think.


I keep changing this blog's address. I don't know why.

Till then.
