t.m.t.h.

that's too much to handle for the uninitiated. haha.

so, uni started again in early march and i've done one presentation so far, with one more to go. both are worth 30%. like wtf rite? since when so much? my ea.tin.g di.sord.ers mod has no exams. woohoo! but there's a 50% assignment which is due on the same day as my presentation for that mod. my res.ear.ch me.tho.ds mod is pretty ok, no stats, just methods. thank god. there's an assignment due in a couple of wks which i haven't started on. why? besides being a procrastinator i actually have to do my th.esi.s pr.opo.sal, which is going nowhere at the moment. die ah die. need to give a brief outline today and hand in proposal by wed otherwise we won't make it for the april et.hic.s com.mit.tee. if we don't make it then we'll be completely screwed cos there's only 5 months left till the thesis is due in which time we need to find participants, collect data, analyse and write a 10 000 word document. good times.

in light of the lack of time that i have for everything, what did i do yest? that's right, slack off. today i won't have as much time as yest cos i'm going to my aunt's mau.lud and will probably need to stay there for the better part of the day cos she did help out loads at the engagement. can't help it ah, will definitely have to make a quick exit sooner rather than later.

in other news, got my bonus this mth y'all. variable + performance bonus = more moolah in my bank. wahaha. i'm a happy camper. when my super told me my banding which entitled me to the perf bonus i was like, ok thanks. she went on about how i was doing a pretty good job and how the next year the banding will be split further and not as many people will get the bonus. i went and said, in all honestly, if it was split this year i doubt i'll get the bonus. she was like, ok why do u say that? then i'm like, well i don't think i'm performing as well as i should. now which person in their right mind would say that to their super eh? i am, of cos, not in my right mind, since i don't intend to stay very long. that is, if i manage to find another job.

anyways, in minah khawin2 news, we booked our photog/vid for the actual days. freaking hell, damn ex lor, even though it was the cheapest package we could find. we blame our parents (read: mums) for drawing it out into a 3 day affair, which would naturally jack up prices for services such as the aforementioned as well as mak andam and food. food i don't quite care ah, cos parents paying for it. but the rest... ouch man. there goes my exotic honeymoon. happily enough i have decided on a theme for his dulangs- greek is the word. so exciting! i almost have full artistic control over the wedding, subject to mum's willingness to layan me. wahaha.

oh shite

carrying on with the cat theme, i think i'm allergic to hakka.

However, if you have a cat in the household, then you would want to suspect some allergies going on. Aside from an onset of colds, coughing, or sneezing, there are other symptoms of a cat allergy. If you have experienced most of them frequently, then you do have the allergy. The other symptoms are rashes, sore throat, and ringing ears. You may also experience a burning sensation in the eyes, or the eyes could redden and be watery. What is nice is that there are ways to reduce the effects of the allergy on your body. This way you would still be able to keep your cat with you.

coughing, check. onset of colds, check. ringing ears, check. red and watery eyes, check and check.

noooooooooooo! i absolutely refuse to get rid of him, even tho my dad is more than happy to do so. he's like, give him away give him away. HELL no. i guess this just means that i can't sleep with him anymore at nite. he'll need to go to my bro's room. oh well...

what's life without a cat

so right, i think hakka is smarter than he lets on. why?

a. always always uses his litter tray no matter how much he's busting for a pee/ poop. well there was once when he did it in my room while i was in europe (out of spite, mebbe) and he peed on my blanket a while back cos i didn't wake up to let him out of the room. other than that, has the best record out of all the cats i've had.

b. knows that i can hear him walking around on my keyboard at night and that it pissed the shite outta me enough to get me out of bed and take him off it. after which he runs meowing to the door to get let out.

btw he's kept in my room at night cos he tends to go fishing in the pond when no one's around.

c. seems to know when i'm stressed/ sad/ sick and will come and cuddle excessively. so cute rite?

d. will be waiting for me at the door when i get back home. will also run and hide when there's someone at the door who's a stranger. don't even need to knock or ring the bell lor, he'll run away when he hears the footsteps. his hearing and sense of smell are pretty good i guess. he just chooses to ignore me when i call him.

e. he's my unreliable alarm clock. i reckon he wakes me up only if he needs food or he wants to get out of the room. other than that he'll only come and meow in my ear if my mum asks him to.
