Clovers & Roses

Indefinite holidays. To many that sounds like Christmas morning because everyone wants a holiday. Some time to relax, party, let loose, do whatever they want just because they can. After all, that is what holidays are for.

So I am basically having an indefinite length of holidays. Since I haven't applied into any university I have the liberty of doing whatever I want until I choose to apply. Obviously I am not the kind of girl who would purposely delay going in university just because I can. I actually want to start studying and getting back with the thick volumes of Chemistry and Biology facts. I want to put on my lab coat and breathe in the smell of the labs. I want to go to class and learn something new. 

I JUST WANT TO STUDY BECAUSE I MISS STUDYING.

As shocking as that may seem, I miss life as a student. All the lessons and quizzes and tests and work. I miss them all. Which is a first for me.

I think it has a strong link to the fact that I have been staying for a whole month plus at home, not doing anything at all. Saying I am bored is quite frankly an understatement. I am nearly killing myself at home with nothing better to do. 

Well I did spend a week or two in KL during this extended holiday. It was by far more entertaining than just staying in at home. My schedule at home was basically: wake up, shower, eat, read, eat, sleep, eat more, shower and sleep. With the occasional chores that I help out at home. Judging by my schedule, I definitely did not work on my diet programme which is going to bite me right in my ass. 

Now I'm going to go through what I did during this holiday: 

#1: Marble Nail Art

I've always wanted to try this technique out but while I was still in A-Levels, I barely had enough time to study what more experiment with nail art techniques. So now that I am on a super long break, I have all the time in the world to do this. Plus it takes lots of patience and trials and errors before actually getting it right. I'm glad to say that I NAILED IT! :D *proud*

Being the crazed nail polish collector and user that I am, I am very proud of myself for having the patience to do this until it was a success. There's just something about nail polish that makes me relax when I do it. It's kind of like my own therapy session. Just me and my bottles of nail polish :)

#2: Grey's Anatomy

I was a big fan of the show years back and somehow along the way I stopped watching because things like school activities and exams and tuitions got in the way. I ended up missing all the episodes so I stopped watching all together. Now that I am so free, I managed to get all EIGHT seasons of this show and I am so addicted to it! :) The life and drama of surgeons in a bustling hospital set at the heart of Seattle, Washington. It was like me and caffeine. Only I could watch it 24/7, episode after episode. Oh and this show makes me wonder if I should give medicine a try since I haven't exactly made up my mind yet. I wonder if I could be a kick ass surgeon in the future. 

I was hunting for Dr. Owen Hunt's version of this picture but I couldn't find it. He is McSexy and he is sexy indeed with that blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes :) Since I can't find Dr. Oven Hunt's version of the above posters ....

I give you Dr. Oven Hunt himself! :P

#3: 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy

This is what I call my other Grey. I've come across this book multiple times on the shelves of MPH Bookstores and I remember wondering what is so good about this book that it's on the current bestselling list. One day I picked up 50 Shades of Grey (Book 1) and decided to read the first few pages. To get a feel of this paperback over the night hit. The moment I took the book and read it, Mr. Boo of mine told me it's a perverted book. Imagine that. I was intrigued immediately because HE READ IT BEFORE I DID. That never happens. Of course I continued reading it. I brought it to the Reader's Lounge and read it. Before I reached the end of Chapter 1, I was already hooked on it!

It's not a book with very deep insight and stuff that's too complicated. Essentially, it's a love story albeit a very sexually descriptive one. Speaking of the descriptive "bedroom stories", it is definitely a change in perspective for all. This book brings to life a more adventurous side of the human sexual nature. In a way, many of us would find a relationship like that a taboo but this book shows how this particular relationship works and why it isn't all that bad. Putting aside all the psychological issues that Mr. Grey is having, he just needs to learn how to be loved.

I admit that the descriptions are indeed very vivid and this book is by far one of the most descriptive books in the English language that I have read for this particular topic. But I can see the love story behind it and it is a good one. Of course, if anyone plans to read this, I would recommend an open mind. Nonetheless, I give it 5 stars :)
