Work work...
i've been working for the past few weeks of the hols. after sitting around at home, bored till my brains nearly melted, i got me a job as a promoter. it's an ok job, nothing fancy. no special benefits. just fills my otherwise empty time. anyhow, it also consumes large quantities of my energy! hahah! usually, i end up coming home at 11pm, shower then sleep. just really tiring.
good things about this job? my colleagues. i got the chance to meet really swell ppl. though most are pretty much younger than me, i think they're good company. most of the girls are 16 whereas the two guys i work with are 20 and 22. nice people... now, these ppl are the promoters i work with. me, i'm a cashier with the 22 year young guy. both of us spend alot of time with our supervisor who really is something.
now, my supervisor is the epitome of mood swings. she can be the nicest person in the world at times, and the ultimate bitch the next second. both myself and my co-cashier (let's call him A) have gotten scolding from him. i have been told off for my dress code. for those that know me... you know how my t-shirts are. and i know i'm not obscene. i'm sorry, but none of my t-shirts are veyr long. they're all just at my navel. i like them that way cos i think i have a relatively flat tummy. anyhoo... i've also been told that my hair's a mess (when it isn't). it irritates me to no end. not only that, we work OT most of the time and don't get paid extra! (not fair, but alas...) well, A on the other hand, being the only other guy worth talking to (the other one, my supervisor doesn't really like...) spends more time with my single and very much available supervisor. downfall? when she's sore with him, he gets it worse than me.
she scolds A when he talks to the other female promoters. warns him to "not talk to" the other promoter who sells (... i can't say... or it'll be too obvious where i work, not that i'm ashamed, just that the retail i work for is big and i don't want to get sued) another company's stuff because "she's already got a boyfriend and she's not good news". wth? but when she's nice to him, oh goodness... it's like she's got a crush on the poor lad... hahah! ah well, early morning shift tomorrow so i have to go to bed now... toodles! :P

Things Kids Say and Do...
this blog today is just about the funny things that we used to do as kids and basically what kids do when they haven't been exposed to the evil evil world. where boys can get girl germs and girls think boys have cooties :P
Story Number 1 :
Daddy was from a moderate family and it was the early 60s. he had just started his first day at school and he bravely marched to school with his elder brothers. sitting down smartly, he told himself he was a big boy and could take care of himself, which of course he did. it was also a good thing that school was just behind home so he could go home real quick when he was done. finally, after a couple of hours sitting at his little wooden desk, the bell rang and all the kids got up to rush out to play. now, my dear daddy didn't go to kindergarten before and was very unfamiliar with the whole school thing. so picking up his little bag, he marched on home. walking into the kitchen, he saw my grandmother cooking.
"hi mamma"
"son, what are you doing here? school finished early?" my grandma looked up at dad with a confused look. where were her elder boys. and she was pretty sure that school wasn't out for a few more hours.
it then dawned to my daddy that the bell had rung, not for going home, but for recess. so like the little soldier he was, he picked up his little bag, marched back to school, and slid into his seat, just as the bell for the end of recess rang.
when my father told us that story, we all started laughing our heads off. dad looked around rather sheepishly, but i think dad turned out pretty ok for a guy that walked home during recess on his first day of school... hahah!
Story Number 2:
Now, I'm the type of girl that can never remember when i should be having my period. yes, stating this may be crude to some of you out there, so screw you. hahah! anyhow, i was starting it and i was sadly, travelling in the car. so i announced to my parents i thought i was having period. now, my youngest brother, Egbert, aged 9, not familiar with the female anatomy asked me what period was.
"zhe zhe, what's period?"
"it's something that makes me have a really bad stomach ache,"
"like needing to do number 2 real bad?"
"yeah, something like that,"
"oh, ok. i think i'm having period too, then..."
it made me laugh at the time, which i think he'll sorely regret saying so some 3 - 4 years down the road. hahah!
Story Number 3:
Scenario: dinner time and everyone is chatting happily at the table
Bert : zhe zhe, what's playboy?
*conversation ceases. all eyes swing to the youngest child and me. my parents wait with abated breath wondering how i'd explain it.*
Me : It's a... it's a... er, why do you ask?
Bert : cos i saw it just now...
Me : Ok... where did you see it?
Bert : oh, a man in the lift had it. remember daddy?
*dad looks freaked out, like "don't look at me!"*
Des : yeah, like dad'll say anything about that (dad glares at des)
Mum: hmm... i've never actually seen one of those... (almost wistfully)
Me : wait, didn't uncle @+_*& bring some back from US?
Mum: oh, those? your grandpa took them and hid them once he saw them. i bet if you rummage through his cupboard, it's still there...
Me : Wait, Bert, where did you see this Playboy? was it a magazine?
Bert : No... it was on his shirt!
i think that boy's the death of me! i swear!

Myriad of Events... A rollerscoaster life...
life in a nutshell:
UNPREDICTABLE!!!!
No, really. looking back, i would not have thought i would have to move back to my home come the end of the year. looking back, i would never thought that i would have a "fairy tale" relationship with a wonderful guy (albeit, he ain't a prince, but i preferred the knights better) who is really, in more ways than one, a knight in not-so-shiny armour. hahah! did i mention he has a dark green, roaring, stead?
who would have thought my brother would be joining me in monash? who would have forseen that uni has just flown by? next year, i'll be entering my third year. next year, will be the last year of my undergrad uni life (not including honours). next year, will be one of the last years i have with the friends i've made in uni. wonder what it'll be like...
did i mention that i have put the kitten in PAWS already? i was really sad that day. but i haven't gone back to see her since. haven't had the time. i think she should be eligible for adoption by now. hopefully she gets a good home. she's so used to human interaction that she'll fit in immediately. the pic to the right is one of the pictures i took of her before we left for PAWS. she's beautiful isn't she? a bit fiesty but loving. by the way, in this pic, she's playing with her tail. she likes snuggling up when taking her naps. she loves chicken sausages with cheese! and is really smart! :)
exams nest week. headache le. time is flying by waaaay too fast for my liking. ah well, i think 10 years down the road, i'll be looking back and thinking how time has flown. i should be married (i hope) and expecting a child if now having one. hahah! then again, life is just too unpredictable...

Sad... sigh...
my roommate took a kitten back to my room a couple of months back. now, the hostel management has caught wind of the kitten staying there. they want to throw the poor thing out... honestly, i'm feeling down right miserable cos i really care about that kitten... sigh! i was just thinking of me having to put the kitten in PAWS... she'll be safe there... but will she remember me and my roomie? will she feel betrayed cos we 'abandoned' her?
i'm also feeling pretty peeved at my stupid roommate. this problem would never have happened if she had just left the kitten with it's mum... stupid stupid stupid... honestly, this is unnecessary stress for me la... sigh! i don't think she could give a shit about the kitten. when i told her about the hostel wanting to throw the kitten out, she didn't give much a reaction. i couldn't hear any sadness in her voice... "i think better if i give her away also la. she's very lonely in the room i think..." WTF?!?! i mean like, here i am, feeling so sad that the kitten wouldn't be the first thing i see on entering my room, that i won't have an adorable ball of fur to cuddle with when i nap in the afternoon. she couldn't give a rat's ass about the kitten...
proof? fine, just the other day, she lost her keys... and i so happened to have gone home that day. so for the whole day, poor kitty had nothing to eat but the little bit of cat food and 1 and a half sausage i fed her from earlier... for a freaking whole day!!! that's so irresponsible. she could have told the hostel people that she left her keys in the room then borrowed the spare, then go back to the management room to return the spares... like really wtf... sigh! another example... if we have classes from 9 - 5 in uni, she just comes in at 12 to feed the cat, then leaves, or sometimes, doesn't at all... she's an irresponsible owner... i don't know if she does that because she knows i come in during lunch to have my meals in the room then feed the kitten at the same time or what la... but why la...
in a way, having to give the kitten away is good for her, but then sigh... my classmate had wanted to adopt the whole family when we first found the kittens... it was a family of two kittens, and the mum. but my roommate just had to go take the kitten away... grr... now the kitten has to go to a animal rescue... aiyah... don't know what to think la. maybe it was my wrong to not tell her the inhumane conditions she had given to the kitten when we kept her... i really don't know la.
i'm just going to sit here tonight, waiting for confirmations from anyone if they want the kitten. :( sadly, i can't hold onto the kitten for very long... or i would, to try find a good home for her...

Of Cats, Food and Shit
today i have had the most crazy day. a flurry of emotions and ladida... my room mate's stupid kitten, as cute as it is, is just plain evil. don't get me wrong, i like animals, all. i admit, i prefer dogs... but cats i can bear. but this specific epitome of evil is really... argh! just to give you a vague idea, the little monster has chewed up my laptop box (has all the recovery driver cds and stuff), scratched my hands and arms, bites me, and pooped on my bed!!!! not once! but some freaking 3 times!!! wtf!!! going to drown the damn thing, if it wasn't so cute la...
ok, now to the nice part of my day... tried Itallianis today!!! woot! hahah! and i didn't have to pay for my meal!!! my dear rocks man! heheh! he ment to suprise me by taking me there, but some fella... you know who you are... blurted out nick's plan when i went to meet him in the student lounge... so yeah, we went there. but suuuuch goood shittttte... heheh! really good
we had a starter and a main course. the servings are huge man!!! but nice! heheh! they had this complementary bread and you eat it with olive oil and some sour black sauce... if anyone knows what it is, please tell me! the starter was a spinach and artichoke heart formaggio cheese something served with garlic bread. good stuff. the food was very fragrant!!! i think it was a good choice as a starter. got nick and i eager to eat something else.
our lunch was meatballs and spaghetti. ok, for those that haven't eaten there, the meatballs are HUGE!!! imagine a buffallo's balls... yeah that big! but then i doubt they use that. hahah! anyway, the spaghetti was soooo good. both of us shared the meal and honestly, it was enough to make both of us feel very full! the food was good, but then the thing that made me most taken to is the amount of herbs they used. i'm a person that loves to have lots of herbs in their spaghetti (obviously relevant ones la!) and the aroma was just lovely!
anyhow, the ambience in the restaurant was nice too. old music was piped in, polite waiters, nice decor. very pleasing, overall. i did notice however, as i was walking out, the chef picking his nose... the only thing i can say is that i don't plan to eat there anytime soon, so forget it la... hahah! if you're wondering how much our drinks amounted to? well, for me and nick, RM82.10, plus tax. so not bad la. heheh...

Mad mad mad... (not furious...)
i don't know what to think of myself... i know that my site gets very little traffic, thus making it a little ok for me to let some things out... so basically, what's got my knickers in a twist is the small doubt about myself, that i just may not be as liked as i thought. i have friends, but the feeling's different from having close friends. i have a few that i can confide in and a few that are just purely for fun. but then there's something missing... i just don't know what.
i have a good relationship with my bf, though at times, i really want to kill him. i have a good relationship with my best friend, i know, no matter what, i can depend on her. i have good relationships with my uni classmates, i can hang out with them and really laugh and have fun. but other than that, i still feel like i have something out of place, especially when i hang out with my uni mates. there's a companionship that they have that i can't seem to acheive. could it be cos i spend nearly all my time with my bf? i seriously don't think so.
my bf, thanks to him, i have close friends in engineering, when i think about it, i'd like to have that many friends in biotech too. complaining about cellular structures and a mutated bacterium to an engineer is like explaining the formulas of thermodynamics to pure art student. they just stare blankly at me! but the thing is, spending so much time with them, i understand the concepts of engineering... sigh!
my best friend? i don't see much of her nowadays... don't ask me why. i think it may be due to our timetables being so different, or that we have just settled into uni, finding our own groups pf friends. a friendship as old as ours may be strong, but as with all strong things, its brittle is left unattended to. we both have our own lives, and i honestly can feel us drifting apart.... sigh! somehow, i don't feel the urgency i thought i would have felt if i knew we were drifting apart. its as if we both knew this would happen.
i'm going to end this on this low note... depressing to think about it la...

And the Mental Torture Continues...
uni has gone by for some 2 weeks already. so caught up in the hype of it all, i kind of forgot to come back here and update. so in a very brief summary:
well, as you can see at point no. 3, i so elegantly hinted that i have just crossed the 2 year line of my relationship!!! hahah! it's been a hard, and sometimes trying 2 years, but worth it. in these 2 years, i dare say that nearly 85% of the time, we're blissful. but the times we fight... not worth mentioning (maybe something juicy you may like to read, but i really can't remember much :P)
the day before our anni, he took me on a pre-anni dinner to jogoya in starhill... if any of you have been there, you know that it's damn freaking expensive! now, for a guy that has been saving for the whole year for a very expensive car component, spending sparingly, i was rather touched he was willing to pay 200++ for our dinner. he knows i love jap food and wanted to take me to a place that he read, served a great jap buffet. so we went right after uni...
we started dining at about 7 something and finished at about 9++. i think that was the only time i've eaten oyster without much of a second thought! i love oyster and salmon, so... heheh! go figure. i have only two slabs of oyster... (but huge le!!!) one of them was a kimchi seasoned fresh oyster, the other was a cheese baked oyster. my salmon came in the form of SUSHI!!!!! heheh! i love jap food... did i mention? :P
as for my darling, heheh! he took a variety of stuff. whilst i made bee lines to unagi, sushi, soft shelled crabs and tempuras... hahah! he went all over on a food odssey! he sampled everything from special sushi to lemon chicken! hahah! isn't he adorable?! hahha! anyhow, he'd specially pick food he'd think was extra nice for me. like the kimchi oyster, he took for me. so i ordered the unagi.
the food there, if it's not malaysian food, rocks! the lemon chicken nick took wasn't that good but the other types of food, the jap food, the fusion food, it all seriously rocked! the unagi was good, it falls apart in your mouth with that sweet sweet taste, the oysters are all fresh! the scallops are divine! and their wasabi is unique, as if they ground the radish themselves!!!
the dessert was so ooooh! it was sinful just to consume it! the chocolate fudge was so delicate! melted in my mouth, same with the green tea fudge. the tiramisu... ohhhhhh! (if all the ooooohs and ohhhhhs remind you of the "Big O" the cake i guess was as good as that!) hahha! imagine a rich tiramisu resting on your tongue, slowly melting, arresting your sensory organ (the tongue) as it teases you with the delicate aromas of coffee rising to the roof of your mouth. as you swallow it, the rich creamy texture leaves hints of coffee, chocolate and cheese. just makes you crave for more!
the ice cream was also heavenly. i took 3 dollops of chocolate chip ice cream! hahah! rocks le! nick took strawberry, and vanilla. he was entranced by vanilla and had to go for seconds! hahah! but it was really really good! the ice cream was super creamy. it didn't have that rough texture you get from your everyday ice cream, yet it was so much nicer than those from baskin robins!
i went to grab more salmon!!! haha! but alas, someone had taken one too many and only left one lonely slab. i didn't want it to feel so lonely, so i let it join it's friends in my belly :P
uni has gone by for some 2 weeks already. so caught up in the hype of it all, i kind of forgot to come back here and update. so in a very brief summary:
- des has joined monash engineering for the mechatronic side
- i passed all my subjects last sem (woooot to me!!!) so finishing off my 2nd year subjects :P
- i have just sat for my first quiz... (and i wasn't prepared for it!!!! :( i hope i didn't do that bad)
- dear dear and i have had our 2nd anni lo!!! (and this i may ramble about cos it's worth rambling about!!! nyeh nyeh!)
- my newly formatted laptop has been attack by... VIRUSES!!! (just got rid of them... stupid viruses... curse the fucking assholes who were so free...)
- just read finish the first two chapters of "Song of the Dodo" (about island biodiversity... very interesting...)

Boredom... (A very dangerous thing!)
i'm so so so freaking bored!!! for the past few days, i've been wallowing in self pity over my very irritating period cramps, and surfing this thing i call the internet... gah!why you ask? because i'm finding a holiday any longer than 1 week to be boring. give me something to do!!!! i have around 1 and 1/2 weeks left of my hols, but the thing i'm fast running out of things to do. i've been doing cross stitch and stuff but then again, it only takes up say 1/2 of my time!
yesterday went out to catch up with a couple of friends. now, yesterday i was less bored mindless. i had mental sparring with good sparring partners. what resulted was a little (rather long and heated) chat in starbucks times square. apparently, one of our friends owed my friend (let's name him Bob) some (alot actually) money. total? more than 1k. anyhow, this money was due to unpaid rent in a house they share staying in uni. now, Bob is a very sweet and passive chap. if anyone bullies him, he smiles and just takes it in, but then he is starting to feel unhappy about more and 1k debt that our friend has owed him.
as if to make matters worse, this particular friend has a tendency of taking advantage of Bob's passiveness. and he actually had the gall to tell Bob that he couldn't pay yet as he had to collect some debts first. now, the type of debts that our friend apparently needs to collect is at the most 400 bucks, if i know him, he would never have allowed the debt to amount to that. thus, i and a few others conclude that he was lying to Bob... poor Bob? well, the only good thing is that Bob will be relieved of him in a month's time. our friend is moving out.
still, we have the problem of the 1k ++ debt! now what options do we have? most of us are 20 approaching 21 and i'm sure that we won't have to go to the extend of going to tell on each other's mummy's and daddys right? right? sigh! but if the matter persists, i'm afraid that Bob will just have to end up complaining to our friend's ma. what would you do if it were you?

Ready? Set? GO!!!!!! (R3 Time Attack, Round 3, 2006)
yesterday went to nick's race... so fun :P hahah! well, anyhow, i'll give you a summary! hahah! any the nice thing is though nick didn't get a podium finish (he came in 5th in his category) we got our own souveniers! heheh! i went with my brother so both of us got passes as competition crew... (the picture on the right... there!) cool name for the people that set up the canopy and sit in it throughout the day... hahah! ok technically i think the reason they did that is so that it would be easier to manage the people on the sidelines. anyhow, there wasn't that many non-"pit crew" people around that day. most of the spectators were sponsors or family of the racers.
we left at about 7.15am from Mont Kiara and arrived at Shah Alam Stadium around 7.45. we had a parking place "booked" for us by Nick's friend, Ken. on reaching, we basically began to unload. i started to arrange the ice and drinks, and the sandwiches i packed. the guys began unscrewing the spare tyre from the boot and hauling it to the front. after all the loose bits had been removed from nick's already nearly empty putra, we set up the canopy. that was quite fun with all the horsing around with the parts. once the canopy was up and ready, we had to think about what to use to anchor the damn thing down. the last time i went, our canopy flew over a fellow driver's car. luckily, no damage.
we settled on tying one end down to nick's very heavy tool box. the other end was anchored to the passenger seat that had been quickly removed. the last two legs were weighed down by the trusty old spare tyre. suffice to say, yesterday, our canopy was planted to the ground. with the canopy set up and three of us proud with our work, and my knotting skills (:P), we settled on scrutinizing anything else we could do. result? des sipped on chocolate milk as nick decided to go sign in for the race. me? i just sat there thinking of what a wonderful weather we were having...
sadly for me, the wonderful weather didn't last. i have sunburns on my poor face... so have des and nick! hahah! but they're guys!!!! (moans and groans a bit then glares angrily at nick) and the worst bit is that nick is the type that once he gets burns, he peels, then he's fair again!!! not freaking fair man!!! (no pun intended!) sigh! life is soooo not fair la! (no pun intended again!)
so anyhooooooo, we were parked just behind a 1.3 satria from ipoh. that car was
sponsored by fts... a rally spec car but, real good car. the guy won for his category lo... the fellas go for every round and they had camped overnight since they have to travel to get to the venues. not only that, they were fully prepared with mats and pillows and all the works! hahah! not only that, i think they were going to participate in the drift event too. i think la.. they had they're bluebird parked next to us ma... the dirver for the car was called johan i think. all very smiley smiley people... :D
the runs started at around 9.30 to 10.00am. starting with the practice run. nick's practice run was his smoothest run, but the time he scored was far from good. at least by the end of the day, the practice run timing looked poor in comparison. hahah! by the time it was around 11.30 am, Time Attack 1 (TA1) had begun. the car were lined up in the hot sun and the race was on. the course was a rather sandy one, so the track resembled that of a car park rally. cars were let out one at a time at 1 minute intervals as most of the cars took around 1 and a half minutes to get the track done.
nick managed to complete TA1 in 94 seconds but for missing a cone he got penalised 5 seconds, giving a final time of 99s. by right, the time should not have been counted as he would have "not completed" the track but i think the excessive dust cloud that the car kicked up blinded the official a little. another problem encountered in the first round was that the security box in the car had some how come loose and winded up near nick's feet which would be rather dangerous. getting back, he zip tied the box to the passenger side to prevent further problems.
by the end of TA1, we were tired and hungry. the heat was begining to get to us and i had resorted to sitting in the car to get away from the sun. my brother fell asleep in the driver's seat and nick nodded on and off as he rested whilst sitting on the cooler leaning back against his car. me, i slept like a pig... haha! yeah, i fell asleep hugging the cushion he mum gave us to sit on as i sat on the passenger side floor. the wind was rather cooling so sleep was very possible. halfway through lunch break, the canopy on the other side of the parking space flew. nick got up to catch it, i held on tight to ours. if you have never encountered a blown around canopy, it's not fun. or maybe it is, a little. luckily that the canopy was more or less weighed down, all i had to do was make sure it didn't shift too much.
just as TA2 started, nick's parents came along with their small chihuahua mix pommie and our food! hahah! nick was in the car and my brother was getting ready to start going photo crazy. me, i was the unofficial timekeeper. this time around, though nick claimed that it felt sluggish, the timing had imporved to around 92s. a drastic improvement i dare say!
on the left you can see the beautiful car in its glory (covered in dust and hand prints from us touching and leaning on the car). this baby really did its thing on saturday. oh, and for those that just feel like it, the number is 427 and position on the championship grid for 3 dot 6 R3 Time Attack is 5th in the Hung category! :P
after TA2, we dug into the lunch nick's folks got us... Mc Ds!!! yum! hahah! i just loooooove Mc Dees. anyhoo, after a very estatic and excited nick kicked our drinks over when explaining his run to his dad, we were left with only one cup of icey coke. ah well... hahah! well, after the relaxing lunch, round 3 started.
TA3 was much more slippery in comparison to the first few rounds. basically, the sand had flown everywere thus making the track very much unpredictable... haha! anyhow, i filmed the last round, but i don't think i can post it here... it's some 128mb!!! anyhow, the results TA3? 90.57s!!!! it's a huge improvement lo... even so, nick came in at 5th, which isn't that bad... hahah! the results are here
by the end of the day, we were sooooo tired... actually, i'm still tired, and it's sunday afternoon... this post is too long... gah! and i'm not making up fpr my absence k! hahah! anyhoo, i'll jot some other things down when i get the chance to. tah for now! :)

SPCA Round 2... i've got new pics of the babies and other dogs in the SPCA :) bascially, this time around, there will be more pictures but no cats, we had to leave earlier than we had planned cos it was going to start raining :S anyhoo, on with the show!!! :)
to the left is a brown dog that we saw in the adult kennels. this darling was so friendly... came right up to the gate to have a pat and scratch. i didn't dare enter the kennel itself due to a rather fierce kennel mate it had. it kept growling and barking. ah well, some dogs aren't used to humans ma... ok, on with the show!
this little darling was in the puppy area.... he was very quiet
and not as frisky as the others... but a good cuddle! :P you can see my not as cute lips pursed as he turned his head away from the camera at the last minute... hahah! other than that, this little boy was all that was left of his litter i believe. the other puppy i posted up in my previous post has been adopted already :)
on with the show! the two next pups i have displayed were the pups that managed to steal my boyfriend's heart away... and that left me with nothing much eh? hahah! if i lose him to these pups, i don't blame him... i'm sure you can agree... hehe! :)
this little baby was just a darling la! he was frollicking in his little cage, being a good little puppy. not only that, he was so cute!!! look at those eyes la!!! hahah! and his colouration was beautiful too! this little fella was a black and tan. most prolly a mix breed kua... anyhoo, he's a darling? yes? hehehe! the other pup was a scruffy little dear. she was prolly a newcomer, afraid and also very young. she warmed up to us after a few scratches under the chin. :D
i'm sure you can see why my boyfriend took so many pictures
of the scruffy little girl... she's just an angel! i mean like look at thoses eyes and the ridiculously cute tongue sticking out that way! hahah! anyhoo, she's a darling! i think you can tell from the previous pictures that her previous owners or her mother had not fed her very well. her stomach is small and her fur is sparce. even so, she seemed so sweet. so small and frail, but i think with a little love and a warm home, she'll be as healthy as all the other puppies in SPCA :) and hopefully just as healthy as your dogs in your homes too :)
the next few dogs will the adults. there isn't much i can say but that ashley, the dalmation mix is still there :) she's a 2 year old darling. very friendly and sweet. she also very gentle :) it's a pity we couldn't get her to pose for us. she refused to turn to face the cam :O anyhoo, the white dog in the next pic is a very friendly dearie. her companion, a black, tan, and white other dog were the friendliest of they're little kennel :p the last dog, a male black and tan was quite friendly. he's situated on the outer compound for people to see when they enter :P

i'm so so tired... i have honestly no idea why! stress? i doubt lo... :S but then again... the situation is such that i'm sleeping approx 7 hours straight daily, but it just doesn't seem enough... could it be the work load that makes me think about it day and night? maybe. i honestly can't think of a valid reason for my fatigue :S
well, anyhow, i have an assignment due next week. i've just handed up mine so i'm feeling a little lazy... which is bad la. anyhoo, the thing i love about this subject is that the lecturers are pretty lenient, they repeated the assignment questions so that the students can use their senior's work as reference! i mean how cool is that?! hahah! and i also missed mother's day... i so totally suck... sigh... gtg... i'm crapping now. so retarded...

SPCA... They're Running Out of Space For
Their
Babies... Adopt Please! Don't Buy...
i know that this is very selfish of me to say, considering that i want to have a miniature schnauzer for my own :P... but that's not my purpose tonight. tonight, i will announce my plan... i will update, as often as i can, of the puppies or dogs available in the SPCA... i'll try make it a weekly afair. if there's any support from you, i'll be more motivated to keep this up! :) so... to no further delay, i present to you my little angels from SPCA!!!
1. cross corgi. her name is bubba, she's 1 year old, tawny coat, very very adorable. took her for a walk and she's very playful. loves to be cuddled and showered with attention.
2. yee wang, the lab cross (i'll put it as a symbol X) soft brown coat, male, 2 months old, very shy and quiet (look left... )
3. ashley, 1 year old dalmation X, very sweet an has these beautiful eyes. her coat is dappled with splashes of spots and complements her
4. miniature pinscher X (with a bigger dog) this little boy, is half a year old, he's the sweeeeeeetest thing, very very affectionate and alert (suitable for people who can shower the attention)
5. german shepard X, (i forgot her name) 1 - 2 years old
6. terrier X (he's big boy, forgot his name) i can't remember his age, but i remember this. he was the biggest sweetie there. he looks gruff and fierce, but the funny thing is he's a real baby! he's so so adorable. grey coat, terrier features but is tall, maybe 75 cm tall
7. a couple of other terrier mixes in the puppy section (which i don't think i wanna go into too much cos they'll get snapped up fast)
the cats however, nick managed to take more due to a cam whore of a kitten... hehe! very cute one mind you...
1. 2 white kittens
2. 2 orange and white kittens (1 male, the other was unknown i didn't check) the male had
orangey brown eyes. very sweet little thing
3. several greys (1 was a week old ---->)
4. 1 dappled black, orange and white though i think someone wanted to adopt it already
This little angel has the nicest eyes
this same kitten has a sweet temperment. it's litter mates are like him, in colour, but only he has those beautiful eyes! this siblings have blue eyes. one of them is pure white, another, is like him with splashes of orange fur on their face and body.
if you're interested in any of these darlings, just gimme a shout... or go to SPCA
to confirm with them on the availablity of these beautiful darlings...

Path Less Trodden
Life is just this facade we put up for others to see. never revealing what we feel, what we think. all we ever do is conform to the norms of society. allowing society to shape us, telling us what's good and what's bad. most of us conform to society's view of good. and some, to the bad. but we never really show what we really are. scared people are usually those that act the most bold.
thinking about this makes me wonder. have we conformed so much that we lose our identity day by day as we try to be acceptable to the world? even children are forced to conform to norms of society. they're told what to do and what's expected of them. there is barely any individualism left. all of us brain-washed to believe in what others think we should be like.
just for example. when we were kids, the things our parents told us was that we had to be quiet in front of guests, don't tear through the house, don't scream etc... they expect us to be some over-achieving individual, a doctor maybe, engineer, lawyer, wealthy business man. what happened to doing what you want to do? i know there are some parents out there who let their children choose what they want out of life. but most of the time, it's really the values drilled into us that makes us choose the path we take.
what is the path less trodden? as of now, it is definitely less trodden, so much so that the grass and weeds have choked the road and there is no longer a path visible. the path less trodden, where does it lead to? have we ever dared to venture into the unknown? taken risks that we know will definitely have no certain end? are we ever willing to take those risks? those that brave that path, some have turned around running back to the crossroads to take the well-used path, others have reached the other end, and never returned. but then there are those that have returned, happy and content, knowing that they made a difference, that they were different...

Mummy's Wrath... Beeeeewaaaaare!!!!
it's a real early time to start blogging i know... but today, i think it's a real special occasion! heheh! well, the only reason i'm awake is cos i heard my mummy's wrath from a miiiiiiillllle away (ie. in my bedroom, when the air con is on and the door is closed! :P) so anyhoo, i wake up to my mum yelling to someone...
now, for all that have not seen or heard the wrath of my mum... it's a temper that makes me, the fearless one of the family, quake in my shoes (or in my blanket in this case). my mum's temper makes her relatively the big she-bear that made attilla the hun pee in his pants... she's that scary! i think hitler would cry for his mum on seeing her!
so enough explaining exactly how scary mumsy can get! hahah! the reason for her anger was this policy that the condo has to not allow contractors in till after 9. so, mum booked them to come some 8.30. they were supposed to do the tinting of the main windows cos of the sun. and since it's a big tint job, they have to start bright and early to make sure that they don't get the sun.
the logic to this is gas expansion. although i'm sure they do a pretty thorough job, there are incidents where unsightly air-bubbles occur. reason for this? simple. i the afternoon, the glass would be warm and thus making the plastic tinting to expand, though even slightly. when night comes, the bubbles start to form as the plastic sheet shrinks back to it's orginal size. another reason could be that if one side dries faster than the other, all hell could break loose on the window.
so anyhoo, the guards won't let them in. i know that these dudes are just doing their job, but you see, mum doesn't really care... she wants it done early to get the best job! :O so she calls their boss... no diff... so mum hangs up on the woman after screaming into the phone! er... not exactly a nice point of my mum eh? but everyone has their "dark side"... *in the background, darth vader rises cos he heard my mum yelling and thought for a moment his mum was hounding his ass for being bad*
now, here's the interesting bit. my brother, the meek and quiet one, walks downstairs, carrying his 18year old 6 foot frame and strolls to the guard house. hell breaks loose there too... sigh! do people know how to freaking manipulate anything anymore?!?! sheesh! i think i'd manipulate the situation till the guards would actually feel guilty and let the contactors through... hahah! ah well, that's me... the manipulative vixen.
so as i type, they're doing the windows outside. they were finally let in at 9. ah well, at least the guards have something to bitch about today when they go home to their families...

*Warning!!! vulgar language... self-righteous people don't bother reading... i'd "hate" to sully your "perfect" eyes and life with my vulgarities
Rempits: A Bane to all Kuala Lumpur Drivers
i'm tired of hearing news of motorcyclists getting knocked down then pointing fingers at the car drivers... reason why? the above title. i mean like... what the fuck la... these fucking rempits think they blooody own the fucking road! what do you think har?!!? your grandfather own one ar?! sheesh la! what the fuck la...
ok, just to let you know what sparked my outrage was a perfectly fine drive home at 1.30 in the morning became a drive full of frustration and edgey nerves... mainly cos mumsy is the anxious one... (oh this happened sunday morning... technically speaking, morning) and i know this post is kinda late.. so sue me! :P
basically, what happened was that my bro notices a police block at the opposite side of the kerinchi link and then, we saw what they were waiting for. just straight ahead, darting out of the junction, was rempits...
these stupid asses were "rempit"-ing on their bikes. some with pillion riders... and usually some scantily clad female, no older than 20 clinging to a skinny male. i think there were some 20 plus bikes swerving in and out then... really stupid bunches of shit... shit for brains la they all! they basically hogged the entire fucking three lanes of the highway... like what the fuck!?!?! even cars don't freaking take up three lanes la you fuckwads! now, those familiar with kl roads, or at least familiar on the 101 ways to get to desa hartamas, this is from the kerinchi link to desa hartamas and taman seri hartamas.
dad was driving our good old wira and all of us were dying to get home to our nice cosy beds. then this shit brains think it's funny to ride fast and slow, however they please!!! i mean like they're freaking shaking hands and talking to each other on their bikes in the fucking middle of the road!!! as if to rub salt into our already irritated moods, this crazy ass fucker thinks he's the man...
this asshole suddenly speeds up to overtake my dad, and mind you, there was a lane free beside dad and the fella had to hug as close as he could to the car!!! fuck man! it gave my mother a shock... dad gripped his steering wheel like if he could, he'd take it out and whack the shit out of the fella's brains. my brothers were in the state of "what the fuck"ness... me, having witnessed this one too many times on the way back from the clubs, just sat there shooting death rays out of my eyes at them... ok, if only those death rays worked...
i know Jesus has risen from the dead, but heeeeellllllloooooooooo?!?!! you're not Jesus! gaaah!!!!
you can't freaking raise your shit brains from the floor if you wanted to! which is why you have shit for brains... you shat out your freaking brains and left them on the floor, then stuffed shit into your brain cavity! and those girls riding behind you are air heads.... they're so empty headed they think... wait.. they can't think... so let's just leave it at that before i accidentally compliment them.
oh, as if to make life harder, they blocked off the first turning to kiara, the one through the SMK Hartamas school, by riding so slow. then not enough... they decide to congregate at junction!!!! you know the junction to turn to either desa or taman hartamas? yeah, that one! dad was tired and irritated. so he did what most kl drivers would, without honking, he drove as close as he could to the motorcycle... luckily, one of them suddenly grew an inch of brains and asked his friend to speed up... then we got home, mum, still a bundle of nerves... cursing stupid idiots all the way home...
great way to start the easter week huh?

University Ecology Trip to Kuala Selangor
just got back yesterday from a 3 days 2 night trip to Kuala Selangor for my ecology trip... it was great! really! minus the leech bite and getting all stuck in the mud. basically, we left at around 5.30 pm and arrived at Kuala Selangor at around 7.30... reason for the late arrival? a freaking crazy jam! so anyhoo... that's where the fun begins.
on arrival, we put away out things and then went to have the dinner provided by the uni. not bad... but i can't really remember what we ate la. after that, it was a rush off to view the fireflies. myself anf hui ru latched ourselves to KY our, senior and made him take us on his boat. dr cathy joined us in the boat we took and off we floated up the river.
for those that have never been there, the fireflies are beautiful. it's the most romantic thing to view! really! and the sad thing is i was sitting next to KY instead of my dear dear... :S but anyhow, it was nice. me and KY went on a hyper happiness when we stopped to take pictures of the firefly-filled tree... it was like this nature-produced christmass tree. it was really so nice! :) i managed to take a couple of pictures... but then the images were not very clear, i didn't have enough exposure so the picture only managed to catch maybe 2 - 6 flies flashing :S
the next day, we woke up early, me and hui ru, to follow KY to see otters in the lake.. (i christened in Otter Lake, but it's really someother name... :P) so anyhow, we departed the camp site at about 7-8.30 and walked through the forest to the lake... it was beautiful. if i learn how to upload the pics into this site, i will. but i think i'll most likely upload it into my multiply site. anyhoo, we managed to reach there, but the otters knew we were there and dived into the water. it really was a beautiful view at the lake, even though we didn't get to see the otters.
after the otters, we followed the rest of the group to the mangroves.. trudging through the mangroves in big rubber boots is soooo not fun. the mangroves literally swallows your boots if you stand in one place for too long. i got stuck twice, but many were falling over and getting sucked in more than that.
though it was straineous, the experience was beautiful. we got to see the cutest little crabs, though they didn't stay long enough for me to snap a picture of them :S anyhow, just as i was exiting the mangroves, i got the final stuck in the mud! gaaaah! lost my boot, then my socks :S not fun... trust me... hahah! but it was irritating to be like 5 steps away from the exit then getting stuck :P
the afternoon was the trip to the secondary forest. also alot of nice flowers and plants. i preferred that walk due to the nice nice scenary :P anyhoo, all the pics i haven't uploaded yet. the only thing i have been doing is sleep to restore the energy i lost.
in the evening however, i went up the hill with hui ru to see the sunset... the view up there was breath-taking. basically, there was a lighthouse, a troop of maniacal monkeys with the most adorable babies, and tourists left right and center. the monkeys there were mostly tame and actually used to people so it makes them not afraid of us... again, a lot of beautiful scenary snaps were taken...
the last day was a trip to Gombak forest. now that was where the leeches decided to attack me! more than one climbed onboard my shoes, one managed to latch on and suck :S so anyhoo, the leech was yanked off by a nice friend. and the bite bled for quite a while :S again, the view was beautiful... sigh! nature is wonderful, but so easily destroyed... i think the only thing i didn't like about the trip was the leeches. and i fact that the toilet was... let's not go there :|
just got back yesterday from a 3 days 2 night trip to Kuala Selangor for my ecology trip... it was great! really! minus the leech bite and getting all stuck in the mud. basically, we left at around 5.30 pm and arrived at Kuala Selangor at around 7.30... reason for the late arrival? a freaking crazy jam! so anyhoo... that's where the fun begins.
on arrival, we put away out things and then went to have the dinner provided by the uni. not bad... but i can't really remember what we ate la. after that, it was a rush off to view the fireflies. myself anf hui ru latched ourselves to KY our, senior and made him take us on his boat. dr cathy joined us in the boat we took and off we floated up the river.
for those that have never been there, the fireflies are beautiful. it's the most romantic thing to view! really! and the sad thing is i was sitting next to KY instead of my dear dear... :S but anyhow, it was nice. me and KY went on a hyper happiness when we stopped to take pictures of the firefly-filled tree... it was like this nature-produced christmass tree. it was really so nice! :) i managed to take a couple of pictures... but then the images were not very clear, i didn't have enough exposure so the picture only managed to catch maybe 2 - 6 flies flashing :S
the next day, we woke up early, me and hui ru, to follow KY to see otters in the lake.. (i christened in Otter Lake, but it's really someother name... :P) so anyhow, we departed the camp site at about 7-8.30 and walked through the forest to the lake... it was beautiful. if i learn how to upload the pics into this site, i will. but i think i'll most likely upload it into my multiply site. anyhoo, we managed to reach there, but the otters knew we were there and dived into the water. it really was a beautiful view at the lake, even though we didn't get to see the otters.

Classes Day in Day Out
gosh... i have never felt so exhausted in my entire time in uni. i feel mentally exhausted. i have been sleeping well, and actually absorbing stuff in class, but the thing is, by the end of the day, i'm just sooo tired. as i type, i'm taking a break from reading the new notes my instrumental lecturer added yesterday...
thinking about the field trip this weekend is another head ache. i'm just wondering what am i going to do if the area i'm in has no digi coverage?! i could bring my maxis number but that would mean i have to spend money to buy credit. and as of now, i really should stop my spending... sigh! i'll be broke by the end of the week!
uni life is taking a toll on everyone i know... we have been lazing around all holiday and when we're thrown back into this speeding world of assignments and reports, it suddenly feels so hard to keep up! even finding time to study can be a headache. lately, i've been going to bed with throbing headaches... totally makes me wish i could just fall asleep as soon as i rest my head on my pillow! hahah! ah well, back to work then... ta for now!

Hot Sun... Storm.... Hot Sun... Storm... (Wtf?!...)
the above comment is to indicate the insane weather lately. it has been this insane cycle of incredibly hot sun then a crazy torrent of rain, followed by a heavy storm. it's so insane!!! really. as i type this, it's raining like fuck. heheh!
the only good thing about these storms is that once it's over, it'll be pretty cooling :). oh, i think i may be going to have to loan my beloved cheongsam to a friend. i hope it'll turn out fine... i really love that cheongsam...
sigh... i feel so dead...

What a Killer Storm!!!! WoooooooHooooo!!!!!
wow! yesterday's storm was just wow! i have lost count of how many tress have fallen due to the rain! aside from that. my apartment was totally flooded!!! my room, luckily, was nice and dry, i happened to be in my room mer. anyways, the wind and rain was pretty bad. the old tree outside my window lost two branches, the tree next to it lost a couple too. one of the branches fell on a staff car and then, you can imagine the nice scartches and dents that would be apparent after that!
anyhow, the park opposite my hostel also suffered pretty badily. a tree was uprooted in a sense... though my dear dear insists that the tree just fell cos it was pulled out of the ground... this morning , i walked by, i could see the roots shown in the air!
all around sunway, the signs of a bad storm is evident. fallen trees, broken branches, leaves on the road, newspaper and rubbish strewn all over the place. i was lucky to be in my room. my study notes would have been thrown all over the place by the wind had i not been. not to mention my room mate's notes would have gone out the window too... or maybe, when we got back, it may have ended up as paper mache!
i have a fascination for the power of mother nature (for all you self-righteous christians claiming that my reference to mother nature means i worship the earth... Screw yourself... you guys should fucking read more to realise that it's a manner of speech, as the word "Fuck" is). imagine, a wind so strong it lifted trees out of their stable anchor into the ground in a short 30 minute storm. i was awed... and here we are, making use of the resources we have been so generously given, to destroy the beautiful planet we live in.
which brings me to yet another thing. i have absolutely no idea why some people seem to think that genetic engineering is "evil". look, let me tell you this. it isn't the doctors that are saving you bloody ignorant bastards! it's us biotechies that have to find some stupid antibiotic or some kinda of medicine for your countless pathogen problems. for goodness sakes! eat well, sleep well, life well, and you won't need our damn medications, and we won't have to think of smart ways to blast your little germs to oblivion...

Ganbate Sem 1 2006!!!! Here Weeeeeee Goooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Oh gosh man! feeling like a fucking nerd. i'm actually reading my notes everywhere i go now! bloody hell... if i don't fucking score a disctinction... i really dunno what to do or say lo. uni life was never easy but then... sigh! doing all this studying is tiring. i find myself getting exhausted though all i do is climb stairs to my apartment, go to classes, eat, sleep, debate with the engineers about retarded topics and struggle to make sure i won't be as lazy as last semester. so far i'm staying true to my schedule. requiring a helluvalot of discipline la...
so far, to date, i think i've been studying quite well... i think la. at least i'm remembering things i studied in the lecture theaters. planning to sleep properly so i can stay awake in the lectures... not that i dare sleep liao la... just that i get rather tired... and the brain can't absorb much in that state.
today, for genetics, we learnt of a genetic disease, it's called Tay-Sachs and basically, what it is, is just one missing letter in our DNA structure. this missing letter, is crucial in the coding of a enzyme. the lesson didn't go into detail about what this missing letter was, but the effects of one missing letter was lethal.
basically what happens is that the baby that is born with this disease is doomed from the moment he/ she opens their eyes to the world. this letter missing in their HEXA gene is crucial in producing an enzyme required in the breaking down of the fat in the developing brain of a baby. without this enzyme, as the baby grows, there is no room for the brain to grow, thus damaging all learning processes. most children born with this condition do not live past 5.
watching the anguish of the parents for this child made me want to cry. i was biting back every single tear with every fibre in my body. one reason, i was imagining if my child was in that condition. the baby shown had deteriorated from a happy laughing bubbly baby boy to a vegetable. he couldn't even smile or laugh. can you imagine your son in that condition? and the worst thing is that both the parents were carriers, making it very possible that their next child be another victim. for a mother, it is the worst thing. to have your child die due to a faulty gene in your DNA make up(if she decides it's her fault la).
to explain the severity of the disease, lets just say that your child, a happy baby slowly deteriorates. he used to be able to crawl, sit up and poke the bubbles you blew in his face. suddenly, one by one, he can't. he can't even smile anymore. then one day, he starts having seizures, then he grows blind by age 2. along the way, he can't suck on his milk bottle anymore and doesn't know how to swallow, then by 3, he's deaf. and deep inside, you know he's doomed to die by 5 years...
any woman out there would rather have no children than have their child subjected to this. really. that's why i recommend a full blood DNA check up before marriage. both you and your fiance. this disease, as with many others, are only capable of affecting your offspring in pairs as they are repressive. both you and your partner would have to be carriers of this faulty gene.
according to most scientists, the disease, thank God, isn't common in asians but more of those with Ashkenazi (eastern and central European) Jewish background and Amish people. even so, it's a mutation, and seriously, shit happens. i sure as hell am going to test my DNA before having babies. i don't want my child to be hit by some shitty disease that i learnt of while doing my degree... and i was ignorant enough to be hypocritical to whatever i would recommend to others.
oh, btw, the poor baby that was made the case study has passed on. Rest his soul, at least he'll be laughing and happy again in heaven. if ever you find out that you have family with jewish ancestory, though slim (i'm talking about M'sians generally), do do do ask them to check themselves up. even as an asian, we also have quite a few genetic diseases i'm sure. it's better to be safe than sorry.
ps.... symptoms that your baby may suffer from this disease is that he/she would be extremely jumpy and responds drastically to surprises. for more info, use... the internet!!! muahahah! :P

Petrol Prices... Up Up and Away!!!! (but our morale going down baby)
i know i've already blogged for today but then something in me needs to be let out. sigh! you see, petrol prices went up early last week if i remember right. my parents each drive a car and my mum's 4x4 uses diesel. diesel is cheaper but then that's not what i'm talking about now. what i'm going to share is what happened this morning, and how it affected a decision i made just an hour ago.
you see, my mum needs to pump gas every week due to fetching my brothers up and down everyday. so today, after church, we went to a shell station along the highway to pump some gas. shell staff are given a car, a petrol card that entitles the holder to 5% discount off the total price. now, what happened is dad was moody today and when he went to pay for the gas through the card, the sales girl told him that people cannot pump "full" tank this way, but state an amount. dad blew up and stormed out of the petrol convinient store, embaressing my mother and brother who were waiting in line to buy bread.
after that, dad made a short trip to another kiosk near damansara. he went in and bought RM50. this time, the kiosk didn't accept the shell card so no discount. mum wasn't amused. though we could have saved a mere RM2.50, mum has been saving every penny. my brother was planning to go NZ to do his engineering. aside from that, money is hard to get nowadays. she and dad were quarrelling all the way home. as usual, we kids would be quiet as mice to let mum blow of some steam.
ok. now onto now. just now, i walked out of the shower, dressed and good to go back to the hostel when mum suddenly says that i'll be sent back tomorrow. saving petrol apparently. dad takes a similar route. the catch is my class is at 8am. and this is majorly inconvinient for me. other than that, my dear dear planned to see me tonight and i had to cancel it due to this. sigh. trying to bargain my way into getting them to send me home would result in a huge fight so i backed out. sigh.
i know nick's upset about this and would be rather moody, knowing him la. but then i guess the one that is to blame is me. i shouldn't have told him that i'll see him tonight. to top it off, i won't be spending nearly 24/7 with him this week as i'll be spending most of my time in the hostel to make sure i have time to go to his race with him... i think i'll call him after this to apologise... stupid petrol prices...

So Hot... But Must Continue to GANBATE!!!!!
So warm la lately. today went to church, the temperature was at a blazing 37 degrees. shiiiiattes.... anyhooo... there was this article in the church bulletine that made me want to laugh. "Colours and Their Meanings".
as far as i know, God made all the colours in the world. why the heck would colours suddenly have meanings? today's featured colour was black... can you guess what they wrote? i wanted to take the author by the neck and point out to him that priests wear black cassocks, nuns have black habits, most people in the world have black hair! and there the author goes talking about how the colour black is evil and all that crap. sigh! leading poor innocent believers into thinking they have to burn all their black clothes (my parents included... sigh!).
today, i'll be debating on the insanity of these people and their stupid interpretations of colour... black... it's not an evil colour depicting the devil. it's a nice colour, showing the yin and yang of life... i have never believed that colours represent any evil at all. in the colour spectrum, there's such a wide spread! so are these people trying to tell me that for every wavelength of light there is, it has a meaning? if so, good luck in making up the meanings.
ok, i'll put this to you. the colour white. in some cultures, it symbolises purity, innocence, cleanliness and the good stuff. in others, it's a colour worn during periods of mourning. for example, chinese would kill you if you wore a white wedding cheongsam to your tea ceremony. in the ang moh's context, a bride in white is a picture of perfection.
red... this colour, for chinese, is a wonderful colour. worn during CNY, weddings, births, any celebration! but then the ang moh's think otherwise. you see, red, to the ang mohs, may mean a variety of things. for some, rage, others, sensuality, war. mars is red, and the greeks regarded him as the God of War... so, which should we believe?
black is indiscrete. it blends in beautifully with everything. the europeans were fascinated with our ebony hair, dark dark eyes... in that way, are we evil? the africans were thought to be lower than whites, why? because their skin was black? see! this is all due to the point of view of others. black was a scary colour once upon a time! imagine a place where the dark was full of the unknown? i don't blame our ancestors to be wary of the colour, but i doesn't give any reason for shunning it!
black is just a colour... it holds no meanings to me. it's the people wearing the colour that make it something. just as some consider red and black to be sexy, it's all the individuals wearing the colour that makes it mean something...

Guilt Ridden, Heart Broken, Mentally Crushed
has anyone felt like they let down the world? well, let me just say this la it is not a pleasant feeling. i have yet again, failed myself, my parents and those that believe in me. i have failed yet again 2 subjects. honestly, i think i must be crazy. i have no one to blame but myself. sitting here, analysing myself, at 1am, without my contacts on, eyes burning. sigh. can't sleep you see...
as of now, i have listed down the reasons why i didn't do well. i was supposed to pass, theoretically, i did, but then cos i failed the finals, i failed the papers. sucks, but that's how it goes. i've done my thinking, my soul searching. i know my dear is prolly worried about me. but as of now, i'm vowing to myself that i won't let my parents down anymore.
mum told me a few things that have made me like my title says, guilt ridden, heart broken and mentally crushed. she's not pressuring me, don't get me wrong. it's just that i have neglected my responsibility as a good daughter for so long that i feel so bad. all my parents wanted out of me is to do well in life. and so far, all i've done is fail their expectations. i have been over-confident and ignorant to my capabilities, to how far i can stretch myself. i really needed to analyse myself.
i listed the things i needed to change about myself. nick told me it's time i grew up a little more. i think i know what he means. all my life, i have tried to stay behind in the rat race, be like how i was when i was still in high school, care free, ignorantly happy. life can'tbe that way sadly. i have all the chances given to me yet each time, like a fool, i waste them.
as of now, i'm still thinking of how to tell my parents that i have let them down again. i can't bear to see their faces. i know it would please them to see me eager to change my ways, but i know they'll ask finally. and till then, i plan to let them be as relaxed as possible. i have good parents that love me to bits, a supportive family, loving boyfriend and friends. imagine, my friends flocked to me on hearing my grades, my boyfriend rushed to my side too. have i been falling back on their comfort so much i have turned ignorant to my responsibilities?
planning out my study time, i noticed that if i really really pay attention, and really stick to my new timetable that i set for myself, i would have no problem finding time for my social life. the thing now is to stick to my new regime. i really have to psych myself up to stick to it. there is only so much my friends can do to help me. the rest is up to me. all this is keeping me up. thinking thinking thinking. i feel so useless suddenly that i haven't bought my other reference books and haven't begun my revision. this really is a slap in the face. like the many times i have been slapped in the face mentally by my failures in life.
sigh... i'll leave this at this.. and mull and think again exactly how to tell my poor parents... i should burn in hell for hurting them this way... i better make it up to them... i HAVE to!

Ponder Ponder Ponder...
today we face a battalion of horrible diseases, war and moral degradation. just why? is it the apocalypse arriving or is it just another way of God to remind us that we really are just mere mortals. that we are not as powerful as we believe. and the worst bit is, the more we look into it, we find that the causes of all the pain ans suffering around is really, us!
ok, one very fine example is the mad cow disease. as all of us know now, it was due to farmers trying to save money and started this "smart idea" of giving their bovines their dead and processed brothers and sisters... eww! even we humans shun cannabalism. and these pitiful cows, totally clueless, munch happily on these little "treats" their beloved owners provide them. can you imagine what those poor cows are thinking as they froth in the mouth and go mad?! they're prolly cursing us for:
1. we're eating them
2. Taking their precious milk
3. feeding them their relatives
4. causing them torment and pain from the stupidity of feeding them with their relative's extra parts.
another new threat would be that blasted bird flu. well, i haven't read up on what's causing it, but as with all viruses, i'm guessing that this was once harmless to humans, then, bang! it evolved to be bigger and badder! haha! but the thing is i'm kinda peeved over the fact that i can't get to eat chicken in peace! can you imagine a world without chicken? no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as for the war, i think we only have one man to blame. actually, i'm starting to wonder if i should call him a man or a stupid asshole. i'll stick with the SA (stupid asshole). now this SA is a really dumbass. i mean like, he goes marching into war, even after the absolute no no from UN and all those biggies, pope included. and i was thinking, ok, since bushie is a catholic, he'd listen to John Paul II, but, noooooooooooooo! the SA bushie thinks he's better than God apparently and directly disobeys a man sent by the Good Lord to lead over us... really la, a big STUPID ASS!!!
as far as i know, the US has lost a great number of young men in that war, not to mention the poor iraqis. one day, they were all living in fear of a dictator but knowing that they'll be safe if they keep their thoughts to themselves, very content with life. then suddenly, BANG!!!! weddings have been crashed with bombs, families torn apart and children are left orphaned. who gave that SA any right to invade them!?
i know that there maybe some good that would come out of the war, but at this rate. people are angry with the Americans trespassing and the soilders are not exactly accustomed to their ways, thus causing much more friction. in a world where customs and religon are a huge aspect, the soilders are just messing it up further.
i remember that the US promised to free Iraq and then leave. till now, they haven't left. what they thought would be a quick process of liberation has turned into a grueling battle of politics and arms. rebels attacking the US troops, innocents, and trying assasinate US appointed leaders. this is definitely not what the iraqis would have thought that they would get. trust me, any sane person would think that way.
about naturally caused disasters, i won't "rant" cos it's just nature... sigh, or is it?

Feeling Fat and Tired... :S
have been sleeping at ungodly hours lately and waking up at 7am with mummy screaming in your ear that if you don't, your brother will eat all the toothpaste up. ok, i'm exagerating. my brothers don't eat toothpaste. they just stay there longer than i do.
my 18 year old bro, the middle one, des, would spend at least 10 minutes on his ridiculous hair. i have no idea why? in the end, no matter what, his face spoils it all! (my brother frequently reminds me that we siblings are pre-programmed to say that regardless how hot the individual may think... or the stupid air-headed females that seem to find the ugly twerp alluring... *vomits*)
the youngest one would then complete the session of waiting for the loo by banging on the door informing my entire floor that he needs to use the toilet or he'll bake brownies in the hallway (putting it in a less disgusting way). and when he finally gets in, he would grace the bathroom with the most enticing scents known to man. after sure display of affection to their lovely elder sister who cringes at the thought of having to enter a bathroom with enticing smells and a wad of phlegm sitting contently on the sink strainer (you know, the little metal thingy that stops us from clogging up the drain with hair), who wouldn't want to go brush their teeth and get ready.
i sometimes wonder why i bother trying to remind my youngest brother to put up the toilet seat when peeing and to somehow get a young adult to remember to wash the strainer once he has deposited his green glob of carbohydrates and such. all my warnings, reminders, seem to be just a waste of breath! hahah! but i guess i'll just have to put up with it. such disgusting things brothers are. can't live with them, but can't laugh at yourself thinking that you're hot.
i'm so tired!!!!!!!! i so need to sleep :S

Little Bother's (Brother's) 9th Birthday
ok, so today is the little terror's birthday. he's going to be 9!!! sheesh! just not long ago, he was just a baby that my mum didn't allow me to carry. then again, not long ago, i had crooked teeth and had not learnt the beauty of contact lenses. but now, it's a whole different story. looking at my brother now, with my clearer vision using the blessed things called contact lenses, i see he's grown up.
who in the world gave them the permission to grow up!? i was just getting comfortable to his cute little toothy grin when he started to talk, then suddenly, he's shooting his mouth off, refusing to shut up! and it's still that way, just worse obviously. you know, maybe it would be good if little brothers never learn to speak until they grow up to be men? hmmm... hahha! or at least till i'm out of the house where he won't scream at me for not letting him watch tv, me play dota, or any game for the start. sigh!!!!
well, i have to look out for my other brother who'll be 18 next friday... sigh! pressie hunting again. you have no idea how expensive it is to have brothers!!! i'm telling you, i'm going to torture my kids and give them 3 brothers!!! bwahahah! on a second thought, no. i can't risk the pain of child brith that many times. i'll die. so maybe two kids will be enough. sigh... there goes my plan to torture my kids...
can you imagine me running after 4 terrors?! that would be hell! i can barely take my brother's unceasing whining and screaming (when he's throwing his tantrums), how can i bare 4??!?!?!?! my dear dear will be ever so pleased to read this. as a matter a fact, i can see him going, "I told you so!" oh, by the way, my darling thinks having one is enough (considering he's an only child) but i believe in having more than one! hahah! but less than three... it'll be hell otherwise. so do the math... hahah!
oh, don't get me wrong. i love kids! so long they don't scream, punch, cry and throw tantrums at me. and another thing is i hate kids who forget how young they are and demand things... thus my brother always getting very harsh scoldings from me. sigh! it's not pleasant mind you. gets very guilt racking... but i think i can pull it off without him breaking my heart in front of him. i'm becoming my mum!!! oh no!!!!
oh, by the way, mum's the best mum in the world. hahah! and i like the way she brought us up. just that my youngest bro has alot of influence from his rich rich friends in that snotty school cempaka where mummys are carrying louis vuitton to school and clicking in their impossiblely high jimmy choos. oh did i mention that they also wear versace tops with guess jeans and nike sneakers just to pick up their kids... and they stand there for not more than 15 minutes... bloody show offs... (so what? i'm jealous they have money and i haven't! :P) well, i only wear my very worn out romp jeans plus my pasar malam t-shirt and man slippers.... feeling very small mer!

Chap Goh Meh Tomorrow
for all who plan to collect more ang pau, now would be a good time! haha! this is the last night i'm going to bed with my ang pau's piled up under my pillow. something my mum had told me to do since i was a little lass. something to do with growing up well! :P anyhow, i have more ang pau then my brother!!! woo hoo! and seriously. he's not so happy about it :P hahah!
well, today was so so. went to catch fun with dick and jane at GSC 1 U. it's an ok movie, for the quick witted. had my two brothers in tow so that wasn't ideal movie watching mood for me. surprisinglyy, my youngest bro was capable of staying still through the entire movie! proud of him for that! hahah! but what kind of bummed my day was the brunch we had.
there's this shop in Taman Megah, not Ming Tien, but this other shop that sells S'wak Kam pua. good stuff when i first openned but not anymore. too many customers and they aren't capable in keeping up with the demands. so basically, the noodles get worse the later you reach. anyhow, i wasn't upset over the food, i was more of upset over the drinks.
imagine this, a very packed coffee shop, 2 drink ladies working it. my brothers and mum managed to get a table and there were still three coffee cups on the table. we called one of the drink girls to clear the table since all the other things had been cleared already. then she nods and tells us to wait. ok, we're ok with that. we order our noodles and wait for the drink lady to come around to clear the table again. SHE WALKS PAST US TO CLEAR THE TABLE BEHIND US, mind you, they came much later than us, THEN HAS THE NERVE TO TELL US TO WAIT AGAIN!!!
alright, i know you may say, "aww... it was a packed day. i'm sure you can wait right?"
-------- 30 minutes later with 3 empty bowls of noodles----
no, she hasn't cleared our table yet. people are starting to point out to her that my youngest brother has been trying to get her attention for the past half an hour. she huffs and tells her lady boss, the other drink girl. lady boss looks at us then looks away... WHAT THE FUCK?! not only that, she walks to another table and takes their order and clears their table!!!! bloody fuck! i was so pissed.
so after some 15 minutes and 4 empty bowls of noodles, she finally comes, my brothers are just finishing their last mouthful, as she clears the table, i tell her to leave, we have nothing to order. then... i mean like what's the point oh? people finish their food liao then only you come. for what oh? then, the fucking bitch slams the three coffee cups onto the tray and glares at me!!!! what the fuck!? i wanted to scold her already but my mum was like, "why she walked off like that? make us wait then act like we owe her money,".
ok, must cool down... sigh... too much la... never eating there again. EVERYONE WHO BOTHERS TO READ THIS POST, NEVER EAT THERE!!! SERVICE SUCKS AND THE DRINKS LADY IS TOO RICH LIAO. DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY!
