My Rockstar Boyfriend

I hate to admit it but I'm really missing on a lot.. =(

Cody has always been really into playing his guitar and recently he has gotten more and more involved with it. Playing with gigs all around bars, joining competition and all. He has his own band where he plays the second guitar. Recently they even performed in a JRock concert at Sunway Pyramid which is basically local bands getting together to play some Japanese songs.


Doesnt' it look grand?


I can't say much about the concert itself because first i wasn't there and second, I'm not really a big fan of punk rock music. Especially Japanese music. I'm all for Japanese culture and I'm even going to Japan for study abroad soon but this side of Japanese is a no-no for me. So no analysis about the songs or the bands here if you're looking for one.

Seeing the final pictures on facebook kinda makes me sentimental. On one hand, I'm really proud of what Cody is achieving. I mean, playing the guitar is his passion and to see him actually gaining some success in his passion makes me really happy for him. I sincerely proud of my little Cody for being so awesome! =)


Look at the audiences!!!


I sound like a proud little mother instead of a faraway girlfriend. =.=




On another hand, seeing the pictures makes me realize how much I'm missing out on a big part of Cody's life. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the music he plays and everything but if its important to him, its important to me too. Urgh.. I sound so mushy don't I? Dad.. don't read this. >.< Haha.. The closest I can get is through pictures on facebook and some youtube videos. I can never be physically there to cheer on Cody or tell him how great (or not so good =P) his performances were.

I know we're leading different lives and I'm glad that we're both doing our best to achieve our dreams but sometimes I wish that we could be physically together to celebrate each other's success instead of blogging on her blog saying how proud she is of her rockstar boyfriend. Lame! =(




What makes it even worst is reading other blog comments regarding the concert. Can you imagine reading some stranger's blog commenting about how cute your boyfriend was? I mean I know my boyfriend is cute and charming and everything (that's why he's my boyfriend!) but.. he's not out for the world!!! He's MINE!!! Wtf!!! =.=

Haha.. beware jealous girlfriend! *big evil smile*

Although I guess if I was really there, I would need to force myself to listen through a whole night of really loud punky rock music. That might not be such a good thing either. Haha.. at least now I have some excuse..

"What darling? You're performing in a concert? Em.. I'm sorry.. There was no available plane tickets on that day..."

No obligations! =)

But seriously though.. I'm really proud of my rockstar boyfriend. Even though I wasn't there to experience the performance, I'm sure you did an absolute great job! I just wished I was there because I will be ur absolute biggest fan!

Ironical

My university is recently adding another building to the campus. They're building a performing arts center which is scheduled to be ready by the spring of 2011. I really hope they get to finish it before I graduate because it will be really a bum if I can't enjoy this new facility.

Its always like that with schools for me. When I was in high school, the cool gym that everyone was waiting to be build finish its construction 3 months before I graduated. Therefore, I could only enjoy looking at the completed facility for 3 months because as far as I could remember, it wasn't open to the students until I officially graduated.

When these kinda things happen one too many times, you start to become kinda tired..

Hopefully this performing arts center will finish its construction soon. And get its huge ugly safety equipment and bulldozers out of the way!

SPRING BREAK!!!

Note: Before you read this, please do the survey at the side of my blog. I need ur help to decide! =)

Ok.. cool down. Its only Tuesday. I still have another 3 more days to go before I HAVE ONE WHOLE WEEK OF HOLIDAYS!!! Wooohooo...

Ok.. cool down I said. Aren't u listening? You still have tons of work to do Princess Shin. =.=

You know someone is going crazy when they start talking to themselves on their blog. Although come to think of it, doesn't everyone talk to themselves when they're writing? Hmm.. Another topic of discussion altogether.

ANYWAYS, spring break is here. And after that, its gonna be only 2 more months before I'm back!!! Wooohoo.. And I'm gonna pester Cody every single day till he can't wait to send me back to US again. As though he's not already bored with me. Whatever..

I seem to be getting off the topic a lot today. AS I WAS SAYING, me and the girls are still planning on what to do for our spring break. I kinda want to go to the Grand Canyon but my sweet goody-two-shoes girlfriends are kinda reluctant to take such a long road trip by ourselves. Yeah.. I have sad friends..

Another alternative is to go have Vegas vacations. But we kinda agreed that we'll wait till everyone turns 21 before we make a trip there because it'll be more fun when everyone is legal to get into clubs. Again, I have young sad friends.

So any idea what I should do besides staying in my room the whole week not reading?

Temperature problems..

Some of my imaginary readers would remember when I complained about my roommate not allowing me to on the heater last year during winter and letting me freeze to death every single night. Do u remember that? It was like a tug of war between the both of us. I would on the heater and the next minute I know, it would be off. I was not really sure what was the reason, but it was either that she was from New York and she loves the cold, or that she was being a environmentalist fanatic and wanted to conserve the environment by not turning the heater on.

This year, I'm happy to say that my roommate is one of my good friends and she loves the heat. So much so that I'm actually suffocating in my own room because of her needs. =.= I think this is karma. What else can it be? Haha.. Seriously though.. she's super hot blooded, or I'm super cold blooded. She's always freezing and I feel super bad but have you been in a room with the heater blasting super hot air out? It dries up ur eyes and makes it hard for u to breathe! I'm serious!!!

I can totally hear u say, now u know how my previous roommate felt! =.= I actually have a humidifier (not a dehumidifier) in my room to combat the intense heat in my room. And I gave her a small portable heater to make her feel warmer too. Ahh.. Its so much of a trouble living with someone. Haha.. Though I still love her all the same.. =)

My car needs its check-up!

Ahh.. having one's own car is not an easy thing. If my dad is reading this, he'll definitely be going, "See.. I told u so!" to me. I have been putting this off too long and its high time I send my car for a check-up. My car has been having weird smells lately and me being a total noob in cars have no idea what's wrong with it. The only thing my dad can tell me is that maybe it has something to do with the brakes.

The brakes? There's something wrong with my brakes? What am I gonna do then? How much does it cost to fix it or change it or do whatever I need to do to make my car better again?

Ahhh.. I love my car though. Its a wonderful feeling to know that the car belongs to u although it was my parents money that bought it. Hehe.. Maybe I should go find myself a boyfriend who's a mechanic and get my hands dirty with some work holding tools. Or alternatively, I get just drive down to the nearest mechanic. Sigh..

F*cking long distance relationships!

I hate long distance relationship!!!



When its morning for one person and night for the other!!! Got such thing or not? Where got meaning lidat when you don't even share the same day let alone the same time?





Always being alone even on a gloomy day. I mean what can your other half do to solve your problem when they're all the way on the other side of the earth? Most times, they don't even bother hearing your problems coz they have their own problems to deal with and telling it to you through the phone just takes too much time..




Its like being a lonely duck swimming in a big beautiful pond but no one to share the happiness with.. (Though actually in real life, this little duck has a partner but the day this picture was taken, she was no where to be seen. Maybe they fought or something.)

AHHHH... You think dating for 5 years is easy and we are the perfect couple? Try being us then! You... "don't know anything better" people! Just because we have been going out for ages doesn't mean that its a bed of roses for us. Rather.. I think the problems are even bigger! When you first start dating, everything is sweet and the guy will do anything for the girl. Now.. he would rather die than be caught doing something sweet.

I want romance!!! I want a romantic boyfriend. I hate doing all the work!!! AHHHHH... I'm sooooo tired...

Ok.. I'm being totally unfair here but I'm freaking fed up of being in the other side of the world from my boyfriend. If you can even call him that since we only see each other freaking once a year!!! What the heck!!! How can this be called a relationship???

I hate waiting for the phone to ring hoping that its him calling!!! I don't want to do that anymore!!! I know.. you would answer "then why don't you call him?" Well.. What's the point?

Talk everyday so what? There's only so many things one can talk. Only so many times you can say "I miss you" without it sounding monotonous or meaningless. Only so many times before it becomes a chore or a responsibility that one needs to do to "fulfill" one's obligation!!!


Ahhhh..

*Breathes* I need to have a higher life condition. *Breathes*

At least I don't have to worry about that someone reading this post coz he never reads my blog anyway!

*I just need to concentrate on doing my readings right now and forget about everything!*

Screw long distance relationship!!!

HOME!!!

Ahhh.... I shouldn't be doing this coz its gonna make it even tougher for me but I have 81 days till I'm home!!! WOOOHOO!O!!!!

I can't wait!!! Wahaha.. I just bought the ticket back home yesterday and you know what? Its super super cheap!!! I don't know what's with Malaysian airlines now but the tickets are really really cheap. I bought my ticket for USD450 one way compared to USD 1200 last year for both ways. That makes it about USD 600 one way!!!

The dollar is getting stronger nowadays I know.. Gone are the days when it was USD1.oo to RM3.1. Those were good times. Now its around 3.7!!! Even gas prices have gone up! It was about USD 1.7 last December and now its close to USD 2.50!!! =(

I knew the good times were not gonna last long!!!

But I'm going back soon!!! Yippee!!! I can't wait! Hehe..

Malaysia.. here I come!!!

Though right now I have to concentrate on my readings.. =(

Sims 3!!!

My current notebook memory is 640MB. That's a bad thing right? Argh.. its all The Sims fault. I played with it during winter break. Though come to think of it, Sims 3 is out. It was suppose to be out in February and since now its already March.. Its here!!!

Oooh.. I can't wait to get my hands on want and play with it till my hearts content. I love Sims!!! Though I don't think my limited memory in my laptop is going to allow me to play Sims. Ahhh.. Can't wait to play with it! Wahhaa..



Just kidding.. I guess its coming out later in March.

Want some extra cash?

One thing I love about being in US is the ease I get when I want to return stuff. You can't imagine how easy it is to just bring the stuff that you just bought, and return it no question asked. That's why I always have this bad habit of buying stuff even though I may not need it, thinking that I can return it anytime I want if I don't like it. Of course I end up not returning it eventually coz I forget about it or it gets way pass the expiration date. Though places like Walmart and Target gives you 90 days to return your stuff. All you need to do is bring your receipt, have them use a barcode scanner on your item, and you will suddenly find yourself with a few extra cash to spend on.

No wonder people always return their Christmas gifts.
