Vuitton's blabberings of the day:
Here I am, with the 2nd post, writing at 2.07am in Luzern. I was just having a chat with a friend who had problems with her room mate, and I must say I did some self reflection after speaking to her and understanding more about the situation.
Firstly, I understand all humans are different. We have different lifestyles and habits that may be hard to change and perhaps may be hard to accept for others. It is hard to change first impressions, and even harder to change yourself, to admit your mistakes and to apologise. Kudos to those who do have the courage to admit and repent.
Secondly, friends are the second most important thing to me in my life after my family. Who can survive without friends? I sure do not know of anyone who can! Life is all about new experiences, socialising, enjoying and sharing your joy with others. I can hardly imagine how it feels like to be ostracised. Kudos once again, to those who have suffered and yet stayed strong during those turbulent times.
Thirdly, I was really surprised with myself for opening up and talking to a certain lady whom I thought was forever going to ignore my existence due to a particular unfortunate event. Personally I admit I don't let go of grudges easily, and neither does my anger appease easily. However, with the coming of age (yes, I admit I am turning older), I realise the importance to forgive and forget. Somethings people say, are best meant to be forgotten. Perhaps it's about time I truly judge a book by its content, and not it's cover. I am beginning to understand the meaning of "better friend than foe".
Lastly, I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about my trip to Interlaken tomorrow for my in-training interview. With feedbacks from seniors I realise that I already have perceptions of how the place and experience would be like - which is tiring and challenging. I was surprised to be offered a job as a receptionist, because I can hardly converse more than 5 sentences in german! Then again, I do very much appreciate this job offer and I hope this is what I am looking for because seriously, jobs don't come by often in dire times like this, with the recession looming and unemployment rate going up.
Well, time for bed. Self reflection has been fruitful today. Still, repentance is necessary. I spent 100+ SFr on shopping for clothes with my close buddies! Oh no! All the money from the part time job.. *poof!* and gone within 3 hours. However, It's nice to know you're appreciated. It's even better to know that you have friends in the world who miss and care for you, and that you're not the least bit forgotten. You know who you are! Thank you darlings!
May I fall asleep within 2 minutes of lying on the bed,
Amanda

Vuitton's blabberings of the day:
Dear all,
Thanks to Miss Swarovski aka Vian, my blog is back on track with new amendments to the layout! yeah! no more *toot* layouts and old-school formats! The pic on top is still a little dodgy tho... we all look so.... fat.. and short.
ok. first comment of the day.
Sehr Glücklich!!! (very happy!)
why? wrote 1000 words in a day. so my chap 3 has like 200-300 words more to go if i can squeeze anything else into it...
second thought:
Marketing's over! darned happy please. it was an awful journey. I'm not sure if i will score well in the exam... i hope i do. but first i'm praying that we're not the group which failed the paired work due to plagiarism.
third random thought:
yea! we're having maggi later.. say in 15 minutes! and it's 12am now!
if my mom was here, i'd be dead meat, sent for liposuction and an eternal lecture on "WHY YOU SHOULD NOT EAT AFTER 9PM"
fourth thought:
Thank you so much jasmine dear. i was soooooo glad to receive your parcel! thought i'd been forgotten.... i shall treasure the hello pandas with utmost care and eat them sparingly!! luckily it's dry and cool here so no worries about the cookies getting mouldy!
fifth thought:
Thank you Red Kitchen group! Although you guys pissed me off at times, we still pulled through and we scored an A for our action plan! thank you for your co-operation! Now we just have to show them what we've got on our execution date! fighting!!
sixth & last thought of the day:
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME 可樂果?! I am missing the snack terribly. Perhaps i shall pester my cousin tomorrow. heh. what a devil.
Well then, time to go cook some hot water for our precious noodles!
oh my god, i just totally forgot that i lost like 30 strands of hair a moment ago while showering. I can see it... i'm not only turning into a live mummy, i'm gona be bald before my 23rd birthday! !@£$%^&*~
Mom, send me instant porridge soon!!!!
Love,
Mandy
