Snowboarding & stuff

[chiisanahito]

Yesterday Day before yesterday, my Facebook status was changed to :

"I wanna buy a snowboard. For realz."

Later last night, my cousin who's 2-3 years older than me (she's a doctor in practical training now), pulled up a chat with me.

her : oi nice snowboarding pics!
me : eheheh thanks :D
her : you srsly wanna buy a snowboard?
me : well if i can, i'd want to.
her : srsly?
me : yep. when i get it back to Malaysia, it'll be as a sort of trophy or something XD
her : or an ironing board.
me : or an ironing board, yep. i'll have the coolest ironing board ever.
her : ROFL
me : OR, as a chopping board.
her : ahaha!
me : yep but i'd like to have one~
her : y'know if you really want, i can subsidize $100.
me : ahaha nowai!
her : yea really.
me : ...wait you're serious?
her : yeah!
me : ...whaaat?!
her : well cuz i used to want to buy one so...
me : ohhh.
her : also i just got an unexpected pay rise recently :)
me : WOWWW -- um, congrats?
her : hehe. so this is sorta like a gift or something~
me : nawww~ OR, you can save it and give it to me as duit raya!

[duit raya = if during Chinese New Years they give out the red packets with money inside, duit raya's concept is something like that, just done during Eid celebration :3]

-- so yep. I dunno, if I really did accept it, no matter how tempting it seems, it'll feel really awkward lol.
Plus, obviously I don't have enough experience to go on buying my own board. I'll stick with rentals for now.
But surely I'll get one, cuz it's been one of my many lifelong dreams to own one! :D
(Wait until I try surfing next haha...I'll definitely want a surfboard then.)

In any case, today, lotsa my friends have been asking if we're up to go snowboarding again sometime.
Looks like it really is the season now! :D
I really want to go on weekdays, since it's gonna be less crowded and significantly cheaper, but my schedule sucksss;
I have classes all week, Monday til Friday...
We'll see how it goes.

Y'know, it's hard sometimes to remind myself that the world does not revolve around me and me alone.
Yeah, I'm that stuck-up, sometimes.

Cuz like, I had my Air-Cond lab today.
I was late like 40 minutes, but since the lab time is always like 'free-study' time, where the lecturer let us carry on with our project on our own, so I wasn't really concerned about being late (it wasn't on purpose, just to get things straight, alright?) cuz I thought my other 3 group mates would cover up for me or at least carry on with our work.

But when I came in, I only saw Isaac; Paul and James were no where to be seen.
I tried calling James like 3-4 times, but it got directed to his voicemail.
And Isaac wasn't even doing our project. He was like doing his own stuff or something.
So I got down to work and catch up on what everyone else was doing; and when I checked back on Isaac, he was gone.

There I was, alone, among these other groups who seem to be way further in us in the project progress.

In the end, I sort of collaborated with a few members of the other groups and got their help.
At least it didn't end miserably, with me being all sorry-looking and pathetic lol.

In any case --
I felt really upset about the situation. I was super-frustrated at all 3 of em.
So to ease the negativity, I posted as my Facebook status :
"-- is crying in lab alone while rethinking about part-timing as a data-entry-person."
Then James sent a message on my Wall :
"Nadia...kimochiwarui ore..."
I interpreted that as he was feeling bad for me being left alone. To which I said in my head : "You should be."
Fuming at the time, but still rational, I replied : 
"WHERE WERE YOOOU; I saw Isaac but he left after a while; ah honto hidoi!"

He didn't reply for a while, then when I reached home,
he answered that he was sick since last night due to a terrible stomachache (diarrhea I guess, from the way he described it -- him and his mom). And I know how bad that is.

I suddenly felt really guilty and ashamed of myself of thinking badly of at least one of my groupmates.
Rage and anger could really cloud your rationality, so gaiz, please don't think badly of others, ever.

Ja mata :)

A Reason to Smile today :
