**What The??**

With all this talk about me being physically active, I'm still losing weight.

You'd expect me to gain a little weight - muscle mass. But it's not happening.

Even one of my lecturer's wife asked me today if I have lost weight. She noticed. I noticed it too. My cheekbones are more prominent. My wrists have gotten visibly skinnier.

Cafeteria food. Major problem for me. Ever since I got my diarrhea, I have looked at food here differently. Ugh.

I hope I don't continue to lose weight like this. Must force myself to eat more no matter the taste...wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

**Cycling is Fun!!!**

Went for cycling again today for the second time. Just five of us, including a faculty member.

I feel like I've grown a lot stronger since my last trip. The great MC hill wasn't as challenging today as it did last week. And the ride to the waterfalls felt much shorter. I even got complemented by the group leader. He said that I "am fit", considering my drastic improvement and the physical activities that I am involved in. Muahahahaha!!!

ANYWAY, we didn't actually go to the waterfalls. We took the road leading there, but then tried a different one after that.

Explored and got lost we did.

We went to this roadside stall where we had free coconuts. Next, we came across a goat/sheep farm. Then we got lost. Our group leader had to ask for directions. Luckily for us, he can speak Thai.

We managed to find our way back to Muak Lek where Shimona cried, "Civilization!"

And then it was all hills after that.

My leg muscles are exhausted and expended. I can't even walk normally now. At least my gluteus maximus doesn't hurt. Much. And tomorrow...Yoga...

Hey, at least I wasn't at the back of the group :D

**I Feel So Overwhelmed...**

...by HTML coding!

Like I mentioned, I'm working on a new design.

I was quite familiar with HTML coding a long time ago. Now I've forgotten most of the coding and I have to re-learn most of it.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Be patient. My new blog design is coming soon!

**Changes...**

Midterm break's over. It was a sad 5-day break. If you don't count Saturday and Sunday, it'd be a sad 3-day break. I think the whole campus hasn't kicked in to studying gear (come to think of it, no one ever does). Even now, the library is emptier than it usually is. Maybe everyone's gone back to sleep or something. The weather's quite nice now...so cold...so cloudy. Perfect conditions for getting some shut-eye.

Also, a new blog design is coming to you soon! Everything's been planned out and the layout is being put together. Am I making it sound like it's a big project? Anyways, it's gonna be a simple, artsy-fartsy, more contemporary template. Definitely more colourful. I'll be introducing a new (but complementary) colour. You all might be surprised.

And one more thing that is going to change (if it hasn't already) is my spending habits. (Is my grammar correct? The 'is' is referring to the 'one more thing that is going to change', right?) I have a love for clothes now! That's bad, right? Somebody stop me :p

**YAY!!!**

I went cycling with the MC Cycling Club yesterday!

We cycled to the Chet Sao Noi Waterfall.

It wasn't easy. I've never done anything like that before, cycling so *far*. It was far for me (about 40mins there and a little over 40mins back), a weak first timer. It was difficult to keep up with the "veterans". I was always at the back of the group.

But they didn't look down on me. Thank God. In fact, they encouraged me, which was a really good thing because I SO felt like giving up.

If there was one thing I hate about that trip, it would be going up the hills. I HATE HILLS!!! (Except when I'm going down them.) And the cow dung that we went through. Now that would make it two things.

Exhausted. But I enjoyed it a lot. Might go again next week.

My gluteus maximus hurts...

**Whoops!!!**

Yesterday, I went shopping with just Joy for the very first time and I think spent a little too much on shopping. Besides, I didn't go shopping for two months.

I used up like RM150++ on stuff I need (restocking toiletries, stationery, facial products) and a nice jacket. My excuse for buying the jacket: Winter is coming. And I heard from my seniors that it gets really cold in winter. But of course, I'd buy that jacket at any time of the year :p

Anyways, I just got RM300 yesterday. More than half gone in just a day.

I just hope I can survive on the remainder for at least a month before asking for more money.

**Dreaded Sound**

There is one sound that I cannot stand anymore.

It is the sound of the early morning alarm.

I have negatively associated it with the unpleasant feelings of my waking up really early in the morning.

It used to be nothing - just a normal sound.

Now it has become the dreadful sound of the arrival of the morning...

**What The??**

Yesterday morning, when I woke up, I had the shock of my life. (Well, not really.)

I looked over to my roommate's bed, only to find out that it wasn't him in bed! It was some friggin stranger.

I realized that I saw him earlier in the room with my roommate.

I'm pissed at my roommate now. How could he let his friend (who I didn't know at all) sleep in the same room with me? When I was most vulnerable?

Invasion of privacy. I mean, I'd feel okay about it if he had warned me earlier. I would have gone to bed prepared. And then he let his friend sleepover. What if something happened? Not to me, but to my belongings?

Guess what. This morning, my roommate was in his bed -- with his friend. Yup. They were sleeping together. Just in their briefs, no less.

**The Most Sensitive Creatures...**

...besides me, that is :), are ah bengs.

I hope I don't get killed for saying this.

But it's true.

The might look rough and tough on the outside, but not too deep inside, they are uber sensitive.

Sometimes I think they're worse than girls. Stare at them just a bit, and they get pissed off. Say something at them, and they get pissed. Snicker at them a bit, and they get pissed. Heck, if you even stand near them, they get pissed too.

Uber sensitive right?

Does it have anything to do with their blondeness?

**New Band**

We have a new band here in MC. Five-member band (4 guys + 1 girl). And I'm part of it! I'm on keys (apparently, that's what they call the keyboard).

We call ourselves "Clay". I know, it's not very original. We don't care about the originality. What matters is the meaning of it. I'm not gonna elaborate on it cuz I'm sure you know it.

Really exciting! If I had a picture of the band, I'll put it up on my blog.
