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...

if you have nothing nice to say, don't

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...

Assignment 1 for ENV2726

i'm was so so relieved. i have finally finished at least one of my many assignments, then i just found out i have one more due... bloody hell... can't a girl rest a wee bit? but then again, what the heck was i expecting? i'm stuck in uni... one more year... one more eye-bags-permanently-fixed-on-my-eyes, headachey, stress filled year... then, if i do well, an extra year of much more interesting work... that final bit would be what i believe where i'm best at, where i'm in my element... the labs! :)

i wonder how my seniors cope with all this lo... salute the buggers to have even made it out alive! as of now, i'm fretting cos i'm behind in my cell metabolism revision... crappity crap crap... i'm like a freaking 1 chapter behind... bloody... i dare say that for all of us, we're all pretty stressed lo. my friends, most are graduating next year, 1st sem. i extended a sem so i'll be graduating next year end... sigh! i just want to get this over with...

i really should be getting back to my very very frustrating life... and my stomach is growling :S oh.. and SPCA... wish i could go there soon. i'll find the time! i will!!!

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:

1. des has joined monash engineering for the mechatronic side
2. i passed all my subjects last sem (woooot to me!!!) so finishing off my 2nd year subjects :P
3. i have just sat for my first quiz... (and i wasn't prepared for it!!!! :( i hope i didn't do that bad)
4. dear dear and i have had our 2nd anni lo!!! (and this i may ramble about cos it's worth rambling about!!! nyeh nyeh!)
5. my newly formatted laptop has been attack by... VIRUSES!!! (just got rid of them... stupid viruses... curse the fucking assholes who were so free...)
6. just read finish the first two chapters of "Song of the Dodo" (about island biodiversity... very interesting...)
   

As you can see, within a couple of weeks, we're back in uni. we're hitting the books again and the guys have projects to build, i have essays and research to do... this sem i really have to be a proper nerd... (yeah, i know i promised myself that last sem, but it ain't easy to be a nerd, k!!!)

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

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! :)

Exams... ARE FINALLY OVER!!!! :))))


you have no idea how happy i am for this... no idea!!! the amount of stress is finally gone. i can sleep peacefully without have laws and theories running through my head... all gone! :) hahah! anyhoo, thinking of what to do now that the finals are over. was thinking of maybe catching a movie, but all of them seem to be either lousy films, or i've watched them already :P


my only concern now is that i have to repeat subjects... i don't think i would fail any of my papers since it didn't feel that way... all but one pesky thing called biochem. stupid thing was damn hard la that paper. the others not so. ecology today was fantabulous! :) i think i'll take a nap soon. i'm so tired. running on reserves right now. my body is pooped. :P and i miss my baby :P

Day One of Exams... OVER!!!! :)

you have no idea how happy i am that the first paper is over... no idea! really, i have been freting over the damn paper for, what... say the whole of last week, and now it's over. i think i did ok :) hahah! at least i freaking hope so!!! monday i have another subject. one of the other killer papers la. sadly for me... then come thursday, the same. basically, my schedule, including today is as follows...

Day 1 (15/06/2006) ----> Instrumental Analysis (8.30 am, MPH)
Day 2 (19/06/2006) ----> Biochemistry (8.30 am, MPH)
Day 3 (22/06/2006) ----> Genetics (also 8.30... and yes, the same venue...)
Day 4 (23/06/2006) ----> Ecology (just like the other 3...)

monash is sooooo boring. FYI, all the exam venues are boring windowless rooms with freezing cold air-conditioning. not only that, i have 3 papers, that last some 3 hours each! so basically, for this entire week, i'll be waking up super early, sobbing as i drag myself to uni and then sit for the paper ... freeze in the halls and then return to my toasty little room to thaw myself out. isn't exams a bowl of fun?!?! hahah! :)

aiyoh... now i go la... i have a very hard paper to study for... adios 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

Brain Mashed and Ladida

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...

have i chosen the path less trodden?

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?

Mid-Semester "Break"

i think the uni thinks its funny to give us some hope of a nice week of relaxation, sitting by the pool, sipping on lemonade... ah!!! that would be just what i need! the bad thing is that i'm soooo not going to get that! reason? cos the uni also thinks it's funny to load our breaks with assignments and tests to prepare for... gah!

let's just list down the entire list of things to do this entire holiday:
1. eco trip report 1&2 (eco trip one due 17th)
2. biochem assignment 2
3. instru assignment 2
4. genetics computer gene mapping project
5. biochem revision
6. gentics lab reports
7. genetics revision for test 2

and i only have a week!!!! :S sigh... i think the lecturers forgot what it was like to be a student. ah well, at least we have technology! :P in a way... oh, btw, tomorrow's easter but i'll be going for the easter vigil mass... it's really an experience for one to sit for that mass... it's long, but very rewarding :P

back to work... ta ta people.. till uni decides to be nice to me...

Big Bad Assignments... and A BIGGER and BADDER Test... All Come Monday!!! :S

oh, this has to be the most hectic weekend i'll be having. i'm actually in the middle of a extensively complex report. actually 6 in one report due monday, along with my favorite subject, genetics to be tested. i'm sooooo dead... i mean like think about it la... i have these 6 reports due monday. on friday, i have another report due. monday, i have a test that's covering 6 chapters. i'm on cloud nine of hell... :S

to make things worse, i'm having the worst thing any girl can have when she needs her weekend to be a productive one. i'm having one of the worst cramps i've had in a while... shits... and i so need the concentration and energy, all that i can muster to finish 6 reports within a weekend. i should have never allowed myself to fall behind in work. shit la! this is the worst thing about doing science. the reports... it's killer.

*dreamers don't go anywhere... but we don't go anywhere without dreams*

Uni's Just Soooo Hectic... Why Am I Not Used to It Yet?!?!?!

tomorrow i have a test that i just finished studying for, my eyes are burning with fatigue, yet i just felt like had to let this out. sigh... i was having lunch with a bunch of juniors today... and oh, they were complaining to me they were suffering!!! i know i was doing that then... i have an idea now, why my seniors were like " HAH! you ain't seen nothing yet!" really...

tomorrow, i have a crazy early class at 8... wtfh la... wish these lecturers would just to bed and sleep till noon like the rest of us :P well, i have been yum cha-ing with a bunch of jokers i call my friends at "corner shop" at the awful timing of 7.30 am so i really have lacked some very precious sleep. hahah!

i think the worst bit of my luck is coming after this damned test. i have my genetics report due next week, which is actually a compilation of 6 reports in one!! :S and then, there's the ecology report i have to hand up next week too. i think i won't be able to sleep well... i better start doing more work. putting in more time la. not to mention that genetics class is also next week... DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

i really wish so hard that live was really like the uni life portrayed in the movies... why la!!! then again, sigh! wishful thinking never got anyone anywhere now right?! ah well.. on with life la... gah! damn stressed!

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 :|

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!
