Response to Anonymous 2

This post is in response to a comment left by one of my readers. The reason why I brought up this issue isn't regarding forgive or not forgiven. This is something altogether different. If I dislike HL for some reason, the reason is mine and mine alone. My blog is not meant to be a "bashing up other people" behind their backs thing. I just wanted to warn the other students that are going to the ball that their tables have been shuffled around. It's in a way, a warning to HL that there will be more trouble when the night of the ball itself arrives. Please don't ask me to "relax" or "chill". I'm a consumer and I have my rights to get what I paid for. HL chose this project over the motor show. She may have come up with things that the previous ball crew have never thought of before, but the previous ball crews never mucked up like this. From what I remember, people that came late, regardless of whether they pay more or not, sat at the sides.

 

HL may have to do all this by herself, but I'm sure if she had asked for help from the council, they would have helped her willingly. I already know that she was given a scolding on Saturday over the accounts for the ball. You think she may be the best activities chairperson ever, but I happen to feel otherwise. I feel that she's just average in her abilities, but that's just me… other than that, how can you say that this is the most grand you've seen? The ball isn't till Friday! Anyhow, I am eager to see how it turns out. If it's good, then good for her. This ball is going to be crucial for her presidential running.

 

I wish her all the luck. She really needs it!

PEOPLE GOING TO THE MONASH BALL! IMPORTANT NEWS!!!

Hey people, as you all know, the ball is this coming Friday. I find it crucial that I inform all my readers on the sudden changes to the table layout. I find it very disturbing that the ball committee for this semester's Monash Ball is so unorganised and irresponsible!

 

For those that have booked a table for the ball, please go the ball committee and double check with them the position of their tables. There has been a shuffle, and yes, none of us were informed. I was pretty mad on Friday and giving the activities chairperson a good talking to when I found out my tables had been shuffled and I wasn't even informed that there was a change.

 

Apparently, those that booked the early bird tickets, may have been moved from their original position in the hall. The move is to accommodate the late comers who paid RM95 to our RM85. But I say, SCREW YOU LA for you being so late! I had a freaking stressful time collecting money before the due date for the early bird tickets weh! You, HL, you should know better than to do something like that. It's too underhanded and did you even think that aside from contending with me, you have to deal with the 10++ tables that you reallocated to different spots in the hall?

 

And she promises us it'll be "The best Monash Ball EVER"

 

BAH!

1000 Hits!!!

Oh my goodness! I'm rather stunned that I managed to reach 1000 hits for my blog. True, the readers are mainly consisting of my friends but… WOW!!! 1000 hits! I'm so amazed! Haha! Anyway, this Monday, I have a test and an essay due. I really need to study. Just finished reading the 30 days of night comic. Good shit! Ta people and thanks for reading! J

A FREAKING DOG HUNT?!??!?

I am thoroughly disgusted… what is our world turning into. We're supposed to civilised right? Well, apparently, the Selayang municipal council members are not. You know why? they authorised a dog hunt competition! What the fuck?! These are living animals that need to be neutered and spayed to properly curb the stray dog situation! It isn't their fault for being strays is it?! It's the irresponsible owners that left them on the street. Imagine if you were the poor things.. you were once loved and pampered, then suddenly, you're tossed onto the street because you're not cute and small anymore, or your owner didn't realise that it takes a lot of responsibility to look after you. It's not the dog that is to blame. Even if you want to remove the strays, I can give you a lot of ideas what to do with the prize money you're offering! Pay SPCA and PAWS to catch the dogs and house them! Let them euthanize them if need! What is wrong with your thinking and mentality?!?!

 

For a more humane approach to dealing with this problem, go here to petition against this atrocious contest!

"Eligible" Bachelors of Monash, Part 4?

After a long and tiresome hunt for single men, i found me two lads. this post is done due to the shameless request of Darren a.k.a Walrus and Jason, the little boy... they both claim to be eligible bachelors, one, a walrus, another is running for mr monash... which is amusing as one of them is too much of a child to be a Mr. heheh! as you can see in the pic to the left, they are soooo close to each other it brings a tear to my eyes! sigh! :P

Darren NPY a.k.a Walrus, Ah-Pek, Panda

This overly friendly, bouncy, crazy, chubby, rosy cheeked, loud, insane, and completely mad fellow is newly single. this is the guy that pranks you if you fall asleep during bus rides or during any trips for the matter... hahah! the picture you see to your right is a flattering pic of a guy trying to look cool in sunglasses. in reality... he's really just a bubbly guy with more than meets the eye...

so, what's the sordid story behind our beloved Darren? he tells us all sorts of things without holding back... when i say everything, i mean EVERYTHING! :P he is a helpful guy that is willing to sit down and talk to his friends and assist them when they are having problems. Darren is also the guy who makes the most noise and makes the room cheery with his insane and at times, pretty lame jokes.

just looking at him, one would never think that he was born in '87. hanging around us old people must have made him look old too! :P Darren is one of a kind, he sweats alot and bounces about all too much. it amazes me how he stays so chubby with all the running around he does!

so yeah, what's the big deal over darren? he's one of the few guys that i know that has dated all three of the main races in malaysia! he loves all girls... he's very hamsap and he tries to make everyone else seem as hamsap as him. he loves to play pranks and was an avid scout back in high school. so girls, if you want someone who's crazy, sweaty and hamsap... Darrren is your choice!

and the pranksters attack! (Inclusive of yvonne and i!!)

Jason Chan a.k.a "The Little Boy", C&S officer
this boy ah... hahah! he can sleep anywhere and anytime! this here speciman of a male is an adorable and acts as child-like as he looks. our beloved Jason is the brunt of so many pranks and jokes that i wonder that he hasn't retaliated and tried to kill us yet! as you can see in the picture above, we managed to put sand, powder and counterpain on him. the smiley on his back is courtesy of the pine needles that i stuck on after spraying his back with insect repellent! :P

anyway, jason is really a child when he has no worries. during our turtle trip, he was the most excited playing with the bioluminant crustaceans and playing in the sand. courtesy of his enthusiasm in mimicking a turtle, he had sand embedded under his finger nails... sigh! that boy ar! but he's a sweet enough little guy (i feel like he's such a little boy!) he constantly gets bullied by the boys due to his rather docile character, but oh wow! look out when Jason means business...

for the girl that would like a child-like and sweet guy (though definitely NOT innocent) jason may seem ideal. though he comes with a warning label! his sweet exterior may not mean a sweet interior! be warned! and he has a rather close relationship with patrick from spongebob! :O

ps... for those that read this post earlier, i have edited on the request of certain people. sorry Darren, for the inconvenience. didn't realise that they're making such a big hoo haa over it! :S (after all, it is my blog...)

Happy Belated Birthday Malaysia…

I just read a bulletin on Friendster. It kind of gave me a little shock at it's contents. Especially since we just celebrated our nation's 50^th birthday. Here, let me paste it for you:

Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak the deputy prime minister of Malaysia had been invited to officiate the opening of Monash University Malaysia new campus. Monash Malaysia being made up of a multi-cultural society can, not only be seen in its international and local students but as well as teaching and admin staffs.

 

By inviting a racist that threatened to drench the keris (a type of dagger) in Chinese blood clearly contradicts the values Monash uphold in being a international university.

 

Najib, doing so for political gains or for whatever reasons clearly shows that he's unfit to be a leader. Other issues such as corruption regarding purchases of fighter lanes, tanks, submarines and as well as the recent murder case of Altantuya are alleged to have been cover-up by the government. Being a former educational minister that supported the university and uni colleges act as well as the 'aku- janji' contract to silent critics and activism had crippled the Malaysian education system of allowing students to think for themselves.

 

The product of our Malaysian education can be seen even in our own campus where students don't question and just follow. Participation in events tend to be sadly low. Local graduates end up not being able to find jobs because they are exposed to the real world where things are different. Who are we to blame? Ourselves? The government? The university/school... etc?

 

By associating ourselves with Najib clearly shows the path we are taking, and not only us but the future generation of Monash students as well. So ask and think about it, is Najib worthy of officiating our new campus? Is it because he's the only available VIP? or because Monash filled his pocket with money?

"The best ideas comes from the worse minds"

 

Now, people, don't get me wrong. I love my country a lot. It's just that reading about this make me wonder, you know? If a Chinese politician were stupid enough to have said something like this he'd have been tossed into ISA a long time ago. Other than that, Najib has said some pretty dumb things in the past. However, all this was said so long ago (1989) and really, the past is the past. If he were to say something like this now, in the wake of Namawee's song, all hell may pretty much break loose.

 

The truth, and sadly so, is that Malaysian Chinese are getting sick of being screwed over. I will be the first to admit that I would most likely migrate to some other country where everyone has an equal chance in achieving their goals and dreams. I'm not disillusioned that the grass is greener on the other side. I know that no matter where we go, race is what segregates us not matter how "civilised" and "modern" a country may be. The American dream is just a dream, but it can come true in so many countries around the world. In Malaysia however, I don't think I can ever see it truly happening.

 

It breaks my heart to see so many of our brightest and most talented people go overseas because Malaysia has nothing to offer them. Doesn't the government wonder why when you interview fresh grads, the first thing they say is "I think Singapore is where the jobs are!". The competition there is very tight and the jobs are few, but then why do our grads fight to work in Singapore? I'm in the biotechnology field and for years, I have been waiting with an abated breath for the BioValley to begin showing up on the map. Sadly, the times I've been to Putrajaya, I haven't even seen a peep. So, either it's a really hush-hush project, or I'm blind, or it isn't happening. Due to this, as much as I want to finish my degree, I can't help but feel a bit worried as to where I'll find work.

 

One of my dear friends in uni, a Malay guy, was telling us how he wanted to open a eatery near the uni so students can eat. It would earn a lot of money as the students really are getting annoyed at the uni cafeteria. Then we all began to discuss how wonderful it would be. One of us mentioned that the Sunway area was delegated to be a industrial area and that he wouldn't be able to build a shop there. He laughed and told us that if he really wanted to, he could, and it would be legit. To that, we laughed and answered "Malaysia Boleh!". The next few words that made me stop laughing was the stark realisation that even the Malays realised the "unfair" treatment of other races. This is what my friend said, "What do you mean by 'Malaysia Boleh!'? it's Melayu Boleh!"

 

Just a little something for all of you to ponder on in event of our nation's birthday. And again, I insist. I love my nation to bits. I love the people, the food and the climate (though sometimes I wish I could shoot the sun out) and I love living here. Don't go thinking I'm a racist, I love all my friends, Malay, Chinese, Indian, ethnic groups, so please, don't take this post the wrong way.

Eligible Bachelor No More…

This is a quick announcement. One of my eligible bachelors has found himself a partner. Ladies, I'm sorry if you have been eyeing our fine Jonathan "Sabah" Lim but his heart has been stolen! So ladies, you'll just have to try someone else yeah? But don't give up girls, the other lads haven't been snagged!

My Myvi, My Brother, and the Division Outing that Never Was…

I have not been updating my blog and I'm starting to feel guilty about it… nothing much has been happening in my very boring life lately and the only exciting thing that happened, isn't really a good thing. Well, I think you can tell from the title, something bad happened to the Myvi. And if anything can go wrong with a car 2 months into purchase, it's the car got into an accident. If you go to my brother's blog, you can see the damage… what happened? The CNS division wanted to do a division outing, they were supposed to go watch firework in Putrajaya. My brother was the designated driver. Some how, I'm not sure how, as I wasn't there, the my brother couldn't brake in time, resulting in the car knocking into the Myvi in front of it. The thing that irks me is that they were going slow and apparently, were 1.5 car lengths away. The repairs, I suspect may cost a pretty penny. We're claiming insurance though.

 

You can only imagine the stress we were feeling at home when my brother called to tell us what happened. Sigh! What matters is that no one got hurt. Ok, two people got hurt, but the good thing is no one got hurt too badly. Jason got a sprained ankle, Cze Wien sprained her thumb. They're all very lucky that they were all wearing their belts and that reduced the inertia that may have caused them to be flung forward more. I'm just damn grateful to God that they all got out without too much damage. The car however… URGH… so yeah, moral of the story? Ask my brother. Hahah!

Ghastly Accidents and Announcements...

Hey people! My supplementary paper is over! I'm so happy for that! I think if I have to look at GEN 3030 again, I'm either really cursed and all heavenly beings hate my sorry behind, or I'm just plain stupid. Been a tiring week so far. I've been feeling lethargic and moody. It doesn't help that the weather is not looking up. The haze seems to have returned in our little part of the world. It's not as bad as it was a couple of years back when the government declared a state of emergency of sorts. The university has not seen the need to open up the classrooms till after 6 for the students to study yet. I just hope that the weather doesn't get any worse.

 

Right now, it's the Chinese version of Halloween. Or to be more precise and exact, the Chinese are celebrating the "Ghost Month". I'm not very superstitious, but ask every Chinese person what they think of this month and they will all say, without a doubt, that this is NOT the month to go around doing stupid things. As if to mark the month off, yesterday, being the first day of the month, 20 people were killed in a bus accident on the NPE. Two people died near the science centre and an accident occurred right in front of uni as I was coming out of the labs. There wasn't any death caused in that particular accident, but in this case, it was the taxi's fault.

 

So yeah, I'm in the university library doing my work now that my paper is over. I just find it a good place to do some studying, napping and just chilling. I can eat here, there's a toilet not very far away, and it's not too noisy and not too quiet. I have assignments and reports that I put on hold for my paper so I do all of them in the library during my insanely long breaks. There are benefits to being in this place aside from what I just mentioned. I get to observe the types of "nerds" we have in uni. There are the really study-till-I-freaking-drop types, there's the scholarship kids that need to make the grade to keep their scholarship, there are the napping slackers that come here when there's no where else to go and then there's the people like me. The ones that have work to do, which is why they camp in the library... it's a sort of metamorphosis into the uber nerd. This is the crucial stage in that development.

 

Anyhow, I just heard the most amusing announcement ever. The library is doing some sort of renovation in the library. Minor ones, though. The thing is there was an announcement to inform the students that it would carry on until around 3. The thing about this announcement is the closing statement. I think I was the only one that caught the error as no one else in the library snorted in amusement at the error. Let me tell you what I hear, and before you say something about me not hearing properly or some shit like that, the woman on the PA system made the same mistake... TWICE! Hahah! Anyhow, this is what I heard:

"Kindly apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you,"

 

Do you see the error? Hahah!

Replying a Comment…

In response to a comment left on my blog regarding my road to self discovery. One individual asked why I hate females and love guys to bits. This is where I need to clarify myself. I know it seems that way to most people. I also realise that I may pass off as rude and "unlikable" to others. I'm honestly sorry if I may have insulted people with my lack of tack, but to be honest, there are people that I'm rude to that deserve it. If you can refer to my group of friends being somewhat like me, I believe you are from our uni. When I'm with these people, I tend to be rude and harsh, but it's within my group of friends. We know all the rudeness and harsh words are all just fun and games because when it boils down to who's nice and not, we know we can depend on each other (I hope!).

 

Another thing is that I do not hate girls. Yes, I have had bad experiences where hanging out with girls has only resulted in me being hurt and disappointed, but that's the case with most people. I have a few good girlfriends that I care and love deeply (Fats, Steph, Kate, Vonne, Jules). Some other girlfriends I talk to occasionally but I enjoy their company (Mabel, nick's friends from SSG, Justine, Sin Yee). Some of the girls I hang out with are not very close to me, but I don't mind them as they aren't fake and artificial as other girls are. Most tom boys grow up to be girls like me. We are sorely mistaken for ignoring the fairer sex to prefer the company of males. Men are less complex, scheme less. I know because I'm a girl. I'm not a guy in a girl's body… that would be gross. Think about it… I'm dating a guy. Me being a guy in a girl's body would mean I'm gay? I don't have sexual tendencies towards females, though I am curious what it may make me feel.

 

Girls do not intimidate or challenge my individuality. If that were the case, I wouldn't be the individual I am today. I honestly can say I don't want to be the stereotype girl who is prim and proper. I don't believe in double standards in treatment of ladies. Yes, I love a little chivalry from men once in a while, but if it goes to the point where "women are meant to be at home, men the sole breadwinners" I would not sit down for it. I admit, I'm rude. I curse like a sailor and I don't take shit from anyone and dish it out if I feel they deserve it. If I have insulted you in the past, I'm sorry, but I believe that if it hurts, it's true. I'm not your average girl. Never have been, and never plan to be.

 

So Anonymous, thank you for your insight. I'll make an effort not to be so rude and insulting to people I don't really know that well in case I may insult them (or you). However, I will not act "more like a girl" as you so eloquently put it. It wouldn't be me to. I act as I please and feel so if the mood's right, I'll be a lady, if not, you'll be served a full dosage of the Daily Beat. Cheerio!

UNCIVILISED PEOPLE ARE IN OUR MIDST…

Monash. We're an international university, right? We're using a new and clean campus right? We're studying at a campus which provides us with a great learning environment and I love the new study commons in the library. I love the architecture, though it somehow reminds me of a governmental building, but it's nice and new. And I love it quite a bit.

 

I don't mind the small cafeteria so much as we are uni students and we can find our way around to finding food that doesn't cost us a limb. I don't mind the small student lounge being so cramped and congested whilst the staff lounge has designer couches and are about the size of double the student lounge. I don't mind that the staff have 50% discount off parking and more seasonally parking spaces allocated to them. I don't mind that our PVC doesn't have answers but keeps promising to "look into this issue,". I don't mind it all that much… or do I? But today, that isn't the issue. Want to know what is?

 

I CANNOT STAND IDIOTS THAT SQUAT ON SITTING TOILETS!!!! What the fuck is wrong with you STUPID girls?! A SITTING toilet is for SITTING on! You don't climb on top of the toilet seat to squat then pee/ shit! Bloody hell! If you don't want to sit on the damn thing, line it with toilet paper! It's there in the loo!!! You're a uni student for fucks sake! Use the brain you apparently have to deduce whether the toilet is meant for squatting on or sitting on!

 

Want to know what brought about this outburst? You may think, "Ah, Beat's just PMS-ing or something,". Oh, but I assure you, if you were subjected to the horrors of the stupidity and disgustingness some of the females in our uni. I wish I knew who the hell did what I'm about to say in this blog so I could go up to her and give her a piece of my mind… these girls are a shame to the entire female population!

 

Want to know the issue? Well, it's like this. Just now, I was studying in the library and needed to go to the loo. So off I went. I usually take sitting toilets as they tend to be less messy, less pee not many people like to use them. So I turn into the first cubicle. Some STUPID BITCH SHAT THERE AND DIDN'T FUCKING FLUSH THE LOO!!! To make matters worse, she SQUATED ON THE DAMN BOWL! Hello!!!! Don't you freaking see the flush button?! Is it so hard to push it? Or does you itty bitty finger seem to delicate to push it, yet you can balance on the toilet seat and shit your fucking ass off?! Fine, I wrinkle my nose in disgust and shake my head at the idiocy that occurred.

 

I walk to the next cubicle and push the door open… FUCK! That's the first word that popped into my head. To be exact, "What the fuck…" was what followed my thoughts. I remind you, I'm in the university loo. I'm not in a public loo smack in the middle of KL. I'm not in the bus station loo. I'm not anywhere in a loo that smells like puke, shit and piss, yet… you know what I see?! A LUMP OF SHIT ON THE TOILET SEAT! A FREAKING LUMP OF SHIT ANS STAINS WHERE THE REST ROLLED OFF THE SEAT INTO THE BOWL… &!$%!~!*!$&%*^)!*$&^()@%*@&!($*$%&%*#( )!

 

BUGGERING FUCK SHIT AND ALL THAT'S FOUL AND GHASTLY!

 

IN A GIRL'S LOO!!!!! It's just sick-making!

 

And I thought guys were uncouth. Fuck. This stupid shit of a person shat on the toilet seat!!! Does anyone think of the poor mak cik that has to clean the loo?! If the idiot who did this could flush the loo, why the fuck can't you use a tissue and flick your shit into the loo! In the first place, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU SQUAT ON A SITTING TOILET!!!

 

Ok. I'm really pissed off at the mentality of majority of the Malaysian females and Malaysians. Most of them do it, and I'm embarrassed to say that when I was small I used to too, but with the toilet seat up, and with my mum's instructions. At least now, I learn, if I want to squat, I go to the squatting loo and if the cubicle is occupied and the sitting one is the only one available, I'll line it with tissue or "hover" so my ass doesn't touch the footprints on the seat. By the way, hovering is damn uncomfortable, but worth it.

 

Malaysian ladies out there that read my blog, if you squat on sitting toilets, please, for all that's clean and hygienic sake, line the seat with paper, or hover if you must. Be civilised for all the civilised people in the world. I'm scarred for life with the mental image of the shit. I swear I'll think twice whenever I use that toilet.

 

Ps. If you were the one that left the shit there in the bowl or on the seat, YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT. DO THIS STUFF AT HOME AND SEE HOW YOUR MUM WOULD REACT. Think of the poor mak cik la you fuck shits.

 

Pss.. I know this post is full of words that would make your eyes burn, but can you blame me? I'm trying to portray how smelly and disgusting it is with words…

 

Psss… this is not a post to directly offend the uni. Believe me this, if anything, I love my university, hence me doing this post. If you're the Monash admin, I'm sorry if you don't like the language or my "subtle" stabs at the things I'm not satisfied with in uni. I have brought it up to MUSA and student services. Still waiting for some form of response in regard to that!

Anyone want to help me on my road of self-discovery?

Just had a heart to heart with an old and close friend. He helped me clear my head over a few things that have been bugging me a little… my over active mind has been processing a few things today and this week hasn't been the best week of the semester. I won't go into details what went wrong, but suffice to say, I have some fixing to do.

 

It's times like these that I thank God I have friends I know I can rely on. Friends, I know, that do not have an ulterior motive behind everything they do. Thanks WH for your words. You really cleared a few things up for me and gave me the POV that I needed. I'll try to work on your advice. Oh, and I hope you all the best and all the happiness between you and Yoong! See! I made a personal dedication for you on my blog, k!!! *giggle!*

 

This is, I dare say one of the worst weeks this new sem. I broke my gel in lab, I had two rather upsetting incidents, both that occurred at inopportune times, accidentally insulted a friend (didn't realise my comment was taken wrongly…), falling sick, I left my GEN3030 notes in the lounge (which I will be grabbing tomorrow morning), I broke a toenail, and chipped a fingernail. The last two doesn't really matter to me though.

 

My supplementary paper's on the 13^th august. People, please wish me luck. Good luck preferably. I'm worried as hell and honestly, I have so much shit to think of right now, I'm wondering if I will be coming out of this semester alive… I know I'm sounding very melodramatic, but I dare say you would if you had been going through this very same week as I have.

 

Just a general question though… honestly, seek deep within the bowels of your souls, what do you think of me? When you see me in uni, or judging from my blog, what kind of person do you think I am? You can remain anonymous, I don't mind. But just let me know, yeah? Thanks people…

 

Ps. Not looking for praises or an ego boost. I want to know the bad, the dirty, the ugly and all that you think. Don't hold back. I'd appreciate it. Who knows? Maybe what you say may make me a better person and awaken me to things I didn't realise about myself! REMEMBER!!! Just the truth… nothing but the truth, k? Thanks people.

Daddy Cool?


Dad's wearing the Oakley's sunnies that has the MP3 thingy... my old man is trying to be cool apparently :O btw, this pic was taken by his colleague when they went for lunch and the picture has been circulating in his office!!! which proves that working middle aged people are seriously jobless...

Last Day of Work and Taken away Kicking and Screaming…

If anyone was in the lounge today between 4 and 5pm, they would have seen me being dragged away kicking and screaming from the countertop. Wei Hong and Mervin thought it would be funny to render me helpless by grabbing my legs and arms and picking me up off the countertop that I was sitting on. Needless to say, I didn't go without a fight. After managing to carry me halfway into the MUSA office, I reached up and pinched Hong right on his hooters. BOTH of them. Serves him right! In retaliation, Hong, being the "gentleman" that he was dropped my legs and scampered off… He didn't get far though… no!!! I managed to grab him and give him a thorough beating up.

 

It seems that being the last day I'm working in the lounge, people have been trying to drag (read carry/ pick/ hoist/ elevate) me out of the lounge… one of them was Darren who pestered me to join MNSM. I wasn't wearing my shoes as I like walking around bare footed so I told him I couldn't go due to my unclad tootsies. He then proceeded to threaten me with him carrying me to the MNSM booth, which would have embarrassed the shit out of me, or I was to wear my shoes and follow him. The dratted boy barely counted to 3 before he came charging behind the counter and tried to pick me up off the table I was sitting on!!! I think my loud scream deterred him. But in the end, I put on my shoes and scampered out.

 

There is one thing though, I know I'll miss working in the lounge. I've made a good deal number of friends whilst working there. Anyone that has walked and sat behind the counter knows this. The lounge is like a home to many students. It's a rendezvous point and a place to chill and unwind after a hectic day of classes. It's a place that people go to when they want to get out of the hot Malaysian heat. It's where I have had so many good laughs and a good place to hide when I just need some loud "quiet". I'll miss counting money when I get tired of just making sure everything's ok. I'll miss watching people from behind the counter. I'll miss having a place I know I definitely can sit down.

 

Kate and Merv were talking to me about me taking up 2 hours instead of quitting altogether, but I want a specific time slot that would be good for me and not something that I feel would be taking up any of the time that I feel I may need for other things. I've asked Kim about it, but he has said that the time I have is as is due to the lack of people having breaks at the time I do. Oh well, my days as a lounge attendant are over. I loved it when I was working and I'll miss it dearly, but as long as I can come back to the lounge and hang out with the other loungies, I'm good.. :)

Many, Many Things...

There are lots of things that have been flying around in my head as of late. I have loads of things to think about. Self assessments of my self consciousness, my character and my life. Toda, during Plant Biotech lecture, Prof Pua talked about how we should further our studies. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. After all, he has seen all sorts of things over the 20-30 years of being in the field. Sitting there, in the lecture theatre, I couldn't help but wonder, should I do honours? Should I stop after my degree, should I just skip honours and fly into masters? How much time should I invest in studying? All these things are plaguing my mind and making me wonder.

 

I've also been having other less than savoury thoughts lately. Bordering a little on homicidal, I check myself to rein in my anger and annoyance. I'm sure those that have been reading my blog rather religiously, know that I despise girls that excessively flirt with my boyfriend. I'm not saying that I don't flirt a bit or have guys surrounding me all the time. The difference is that I treat them as my friends and only as friends. When a female, that starts showing more than a passing interest in my boyfriend, starts messaging him odd messages, I will, without a damnable doubt, get annoyed. Once, twice, it's cute and all that you like him that much, but please, anymore than that, you're looking for a punch.

 

I won't say who you are. If you read my blog, I'm warning you. Don't you sms him rubbish like that again. I don't appreciate it. Nick doesn't like it either, alright? Look, I'm not trying to be mean and a hypocritical bitch, but the truth is that I draw the line a bit when it comes to flirting. I believe that so long the other individual realises that nothing will ever transpire from the interaction, it's fine. But in this particular female's case, she has a history in liking nick. Nick is attractive, though he denies vehemently, and from the structure of the sentence and the manner of the message, I know that she's obviously trying to get his attention. On more than one occasion, she has shown more then a passing interest in Nick. I've always known that she likes Nick to a degree. I tolerate it only because she didn't try to be funny and directly come at him. If you're reading, Ms. I'll-strangle-myself-with-spaghetti, I'm telling you to lay off him. I don't hate you, but I don't like you doing all this. Yes, you're his friend, and you've known him longer than I have, but think about it... if he were single, it would be fine. but since he's not, try respect the fact that I dislike it, aight?

 

Work is starting to roll now. Hopefully, I can keep my head above the water. Report due Friday, need to do research on renewable resources using plant biotechnology, need to check up on my agar plates in the morning, need to ensure my plant culture doesn't get contaminated... gah!!!!

Went jeans-shopping today at Giordano. I bought, for the very first time in maybe a decade, straight cut jeans. Well, it was really only because mummy dear insisted on it and it actually looks good on me! I didn't get the skinny jeans as my thighs are thunder thighs and having thunder thighs do not go well with skinny jeans. So yeah. I have me a pair of straight cut jeans. Was planning to get me a pair of drawstring pants while I was at it, but then we ran out of time so I had to leave. The price was rather low too. Normal price was RM 159 but that particular branch seems to always sell this 50% cheaper so I got it for around RM 80! J

Daddy was terribly cute! He saw the jeans and the only thing he could say was, "Wah! It's so low cut! Don't want la. Go elsewhere to buy la!". Lucky for me, my mum was there and she immediately started berating my dad on his lack of knowledge on the current fashion. He was still frowning and grumbling about how my butt would pop out the minute I start walking around in the jeans when I paid for the jeans. I was rather surprised that the jeans were comfortable. I did wear Nick's jeans once, for fun. Despite the fact it was too big and I had to wear another pair of shorts inside to prevent it from falling right off, it was nice to wear… but then again, I just put them on for a few second before bursting into laughter about the large size! :P

Was studying GEN3030 last night and all I could think was… SHIT!!!! I barely know what I'm bloody hell reading… fuck weh… scary I tell you! Some more the damn paper's like a couple of weeks from now. I'll be pushing everything aside for my supplementary paper then concentrate on my subjects this sem. Obviously I'll be doing my reports and all, but I think I'll start revision only after the supplementary paper :S. ok la. Back to work…

Supplementary Papers, Lab Reports and Dilemmas

this semester is starting of on a rather bad note. the 1st week was barely over and there are so many horrible things happening in MUSA. i'm not at liberty to say anything for the fear of invoking the wrath of those that are in the council. but then i guess what everyone says, that politics brings out the worst in people, is true. people change and usually, in the process, the innocent people are the ones that get the brunt of the blow. kate and kim are resigning their posts by the end of the month. i'm resigning to concentrate on my supplementary paper now that i'm confirmed going to take it

i will miss sitting behind the counter and all that, but i think this is good in the long run. i'll probably end up in the library more than in the lounge, thus studying more. things may get awkward in classes if the welfare officer takes this personally, but dearie, this isn't personal, k? i really have to concentrate on GEN3030 and the lounge is no good for me. honestly, i shouldn't have take the job this sem. i'm sorry for all the trouble this may cause guys...

been trying to finish all my work and hurry things along this semester so i won't be rushing to finish last minute reports and stuff so my internals will be relatively high. i don't want to have all these to burden me as i really need this sem to be a straight pass. to all my friends, please help me to concentrate!!! :P

well, i'll have to start my studying again now... btw, tomorrow may be getting me a new pair of jeans!!! woot! hahah! :) take care y' all!

Hey guys,

yesterday, i found a puppy in a monsoon drain and brought it to PAWS. the problem, apparently, is that the pup may have to be put down on the grounds that it's too young (around 2 to 4 weeks old only. it's just a baby!! ) for vaccination and the other dogs may get it sick.

PAWS let me know that if i can find someone who's willing to keep the pup till it's a bit older, they can keep it in PAWS to put up for adoption. if there's anyone that can, please please
let me know. i can't keep the pup due to me staying in a condo and my mum doesn't like dogs.

if you can, please contact me ASAP, by giving me a call at 016-3218197. thanks everyone. this means alot to me.

Of Straw Mushrooms, Skipping Ropes and Tests

when i was just a little kid, i used to love eating straw mushrooms. to me, they were really tasty and all that. then as i grew up a little bigger, say around 5 years of age, i noticed a similarity between the straw mushrooms and my younger brother's *ahem* ;) when you're below ten and have a sibling of around the same age, taking baths together are fun. but i digress... since my discovery, everytime i see or eat straw mushrooms, i can't help but giggle to myself as i remember why i secretly (not so secretly anymore though, since i find this amusing) called straw mushrooms "Ku ku chiao mushroom".

when i first shared this with nick... you can imagine how much he laughed... so, let me explain why i named it such a "perverted" nickname. look at it's shape, the was the bell sits so nicely on top of it's stalk. lets just say you're a boy. look into your pants. see the similarity? now that i'm much older and much wiser, i know that the "ku-ku chiao" has something called a foreskin... *perverted giggle* look at the first picture of straw mushrooms. cut off the outer layer (think circumcision) and look left... *perverted giggle again* hehe!

skipped rope today to challenge my younger brother since he thinks he's better than me in everything but biology and chemistry (he's 10). the little menace said he "Can skip 40 times non-stop! can you? bet you caaan't!!!". my bruised ego didn't allow that challenge to go by unnoticed. so i skipped. after 40, some little blighter was counting very quietly. by 60, he gave me a sheepish smile... by 65, i was rolling on the ground laughing at him cos he was grinning very apologetically. so yeah, i continued for a while just to make it an even 100. then!!! cheng cheng cheng!!! *cue climatic music* mum hollers in the kitchen that she needs my help. guess what she wanted me to do?! hehe! disect straw mushrooms!!!! *rofl*

i giggled as i cut them in half... yes boys, i like cutting them up.... hahah! and those that knew me well enough since 1st year will remember how i burst upon the engineering guys grinning like a fool after i inverted the testicles of a lab rat we had to disect. after telling them, the simultaneous looks of pain on all the guys was priceless!!! :)

ah yes, those who have take undang, i'm taking mine tomorrow, and no, i'm not the oldest applicant (thank God!). i read through the 500 question book and i'm just going to take it easy... i think :P well, i'll be sleeping early so that i can get up in time. toodles people and wish me the bestest!!!

New Car, Old Friends and Loose Ends

ok, no loose ends. the title seemed cool. bear with me, k?! the only thing loose are my shorts. but then again, i just changed the rubber for it, so it's ok now :). but yeah, dad got us a new car and got rid of our beloved wira :(. the wira was a black aeroback, 1.6 and is really the bestest car in the world. lots of good memories with that car. we went everywhere in that car. what we have now, instead, is a myvi, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. but then again, i really can't say much. parents wanted to get a new car, better the myvi than an avanza! :S

anyhow, the hols have dragged on for a week and all i've been doing is bummed about. not very productive, i know. hahah! i've also been thinking alot these past few days. yes, i know, shock and horror, beat thinks?!?! yes i do you dim wits. i actually spend a bit of time thinking. i've been wondering how to cut cost for this year's ball. if i go for it, and if the theme's noir, i'll go as a femme fatale! hahah! sexay... :P

been catching up on old friends too. a really old friend of mine in aussie has graduated and she's working now. mass com. her sister's entering med school soon. another old friend just broke up with her bf cos i fueled it. the guy was totally hopeless... anyhow, i feel a bit bad for the bugger. chin leng is back and we all went for transformers, which is good, by the way.

nick and i however, we're just not seeing much of each other. he's working on his car, i'm under house arrest. sorry, it was too tempting not to put it that way. another thing i have to do is fix my laptop this week. i'll be so dead bored without it, which is why i've been putting it off for so long :P anyways, i think i will be doing it either day after or on friday. this will probably blow a hole in the pockets, but i think dad's paying for this one, so i wont' have to spend money :P. another thing, i'm nearly reaching the goal to get my new hp!!! yeay!!!

planning to get the silver k750i. not unlike nick's, but then silver one la. don't want to have a black one, which would mean that mine, nick and hansel's would look the same. anyway, i rather like the phone, and it's very affordable now. the camera's quite good too! :) well, i guess i'm rambling... argh...
