Having survived another torturing day, I have to brave through another boring off day. This is what I had been doing the whole day:-

1.30pm: Woke up and stared at the wall

1.45pm: Brushed my teeth and washed my face

1.50pm: Had a few biscuits and switched on my lappie.

1.55pm: Checked my Facebook, played a few Facebook games.

2.30pm: Got bored with Facebook, read "Watermelon" (downloaded ebook)

3.30pm: Got bored with Watermelon at page 69. Played Feeding Frenzy. Thought of dad while

playing this game (coz it has a lot of fishes in the ocean)

4.45pm: Finished the whole series of Feeding Frenzy 2. Bored again. Wanted to play my violin.

4.47pm: Picked up my violin, my housemate just came back. Put the violin back.

4.49pm: Paced around my room like a caged dog.

4.55pm: Still pacing, thinking whether to mop the floor or not.

5.15pm: Still thinking whether to mop the floor (this time while sitting on my bed). Decided

against it so as not to be called a cleanliness freak.

5.30pm: Now thinking of which book I should start reading.

5.45pm: Still thinking about the same subject.

6.00pm: Yay!! Dinner time!!

6.10pm: Arrived at Platinum Cafe. Craving for chicken rice but noticed that the stall has gone

"bankrupt". Ordered Penang char mee and a glass of teh peng instead.

6.20pm: Char mee arrived. It was very salty, did not taste good and expensive. Was thinking should fry it myself the next time.

6.23pm: Wait.. I don't know how to fry mee. Only know how to fry rice. Cham...

6.25pm: Noticed that the mee had "lap chang" or chinese sausage. Should I eat them and risk getting infected with the infamous "black pig disease"?

6.30pm: The Penang char mee stall worker was cutting her/ his toenails in front of the raw mee, kueh tiau and clean plates. I lost my appetite liau...

6.31pm: No longer eating now but was drinking my teh peng while scrutinizing the worker. Is worker a she or a he? Well, he/ she seemed to be wearing a bra, so must be a she..

6.32pm: I wondered how Yen Shin looks like wearing a bra. (Hahahahaha..)

6.40pm: Went to Speedmart 99 to buy some biscuits. Saw a rack of mothballs and thought of Lilian.

6.45pm: Passed by Carrefour and was still thinking of Lilian.

6.56pm: Saw a tractor and thought of Wilmer.

6.58pm: Saw a grey-haired aunt and thought of mum (Ooopss..)

7.03pm: Reached my room. My housemate went out

7.20pm: Took my violin out and played it.

10.15pm: Blogged and wondered why I blogged.

10.16pm: Was secretly hoping that one day, one of the publishers or editors would take notice of my blog and help me publish it into a book (like Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Harpern)

10.28pm: Logged off from Blogspot.

Truth is, one should never tempt me with durians. I will definitely get tempted. 2 months ago, someone in the webcam tempted me by eating durians ( the yellowish, warm, fleshy and big type which makes your mouth water even when just by looking at it). And boy, ever since then I am always on the hunt for durians.

And finally after much perseverance, I have found it today!! Some more it's on offer! I started loading my shopping basket with durians.

Now, my room smells like someone who had just farted badly. Or maybe even 10 people farted and left the room.

But the real truth is, I farted 4 times 5 minutes ago after eating those durians.. and still farting now..

I always love bath time. For me, bath time sometimes is a hydrotherapy; warm water splashing on your body and making you relax. Often, I would take my thoughts into the bathroom with me as well.

Today, I was thinking about all sorts of questions- how to earn more money, where is my violin certificate, etc.. I was so intent on solving and contemplating on my problems....


....Only to realise that I forgot to soap myself after I had left my bathroom.

It is a universal truth: Most girls are shopaholic.


I, too, am a shopaholic. But I don't go on a shopping spree to buy shoes, handbags, dresses, boots or whatever you call them. I buy BOOKS. Yes, it's true. I suck when it comes to books.. Really.. I have this addiction which I can't seem to control whenever I am in a bookshop, especially one with great discounts.

Today, after much hesitation I finally went to BookXcess, a bookshop with sells crazily CHEAP books in Petaling Jaya area. I had been refraining myself to go there for the past few months lest I will spend all my salary on the oh-so-amazing books.

At about 2.30 this afternoon I had finally mustered my courage and using my brother as an excuse, I boarded the LRT to Taman Jaya and bingo! I was in BookXcess. (My brother wanted a illustrated version of Percy Jackson and I promised I'd help him get it).

The moment I stepped into the bookshop I felt like I was experiencing orgasm (ok, that was exaggerated). But I definitely couldn't breathe for a moment and was gawking at the sight of the books. I even sillently muttered a Don't-Lose-My-Control prayer and did a five-minute meditation and controlled breathing to help me remain calm and composed (this is true!).

Heck, after all the browsing I almost forgot about my brother's Percy Jackson.

Worse still, they offered me a free membership after I had paid all the books. To hell with all the financial guide books. I am so not going to have a lifetime savings this way..

I am tired..

There are times where the only thing you can experience is negative thoughts or feelings. It is then when you find yourself questioning what you are doing is correct, or maybe it's just an illusion cocked up by yourself, made-believed into something more wonderful.

You find yourself asking...

How fair the world is...

Is it true what I am thinking about?


Praying hard, I wish I can get out of this situation, a situation where no one can hear me..


And during these times, you really wish to fall into a very deep sleep and never wake up again.. For you are very tired of the world around you..

Darn!!

Crap!! My previously-nice-flower-blog template is gone!! Due to some technical problem, some lousy user at photobucket didn't update his account. So, by background has to be changed to polka dots. Blech...

Due to facebook-ing, my blog has been neglected for quite some time now. Realised that I am not the only one.. Hehe..

Well, gonna start blogging again (funny how i say that most of the time) but this time it is for REAL.. Will be bringing a cam wherever i go so guys, be ready in case of your candid shots being posted on the net!!!

New Moon

Gosh!!

Can't wait for this movie to be released...

Vibrio, oh Vibrio

Is it coincidence? Is it betrayal?

Vibrio, oh Vibrio
Why hath thou betrayest me?
I hath treated thee like a best friend;
culturing thee, giving the life, fresh nutrients from the freshest lea,
like ade in the hottest summer
.......................


Okay
I give up. The POINT is stupid Vibrios. I've treated you so well, culturing you and giving you life and this is what I get from you?

Ever since I've become involved with you, I get "lau sai" four times. Is this how you repay me, huh Vibrios?

I am Soooooooo gonna get a hand sanitizer.

MUST. REALLY. GET. ONE.

S-H-I-T

SHIT!! My handphone fell into the water.. Crap!!

Now it keeps dialing 6666666666666 by its own..

Gonna miss u guys.. Sob.. sob..

I cant believe that i m already in the third year...

11 more months to go and we'll all go our own separate ways.. I was reminiscing the past when I was cycling with u guys yesterday.. It had always been a fun time to spend with u all.. Couldn't believe how time had flown since the first time I met the nine of you:-

Li Mei, Kim Hock, Judith, Janet, Lai Kuan, Patrick, Fui Lin, Connie and Jia Hui...

Still remember the first time I went out with Li Mei, Kim Hock, Lai Kuan and Jia Hui to Matang.. The girls and I were in the same car.. During that time I didn't even who was who and what their names were. Still remember though, that Jia Hui insisted on driving that day.. Hehe..
In Matang, all of us went to our separate ways.. Wand Suan, Fui Lin, Xiu Qi and I were on our own to the waterfall while the rest went off on their own to the hill.

Poor Kim Hock suffered from gastric pain and had to stay in the car. Back then, I didn't know what his name was--- Therefore I just called him the gastric guy.

Another guy also went to that trip- Yen Shin.. I didn't know his name as well so during that time I called him the "weird guy" as he was more of an introvert, heading off to the mountain ALONE. (Btw, I still call him weird guy behind his back..HAHA!!)

I did not even talk to the girls back then. Now, it was all laughter and jokes.. Different, huh..

I'm gonna seriuosly miss all of u..

Xiu Qi has been defeated

Oh my gosh.. Just realised something.. I've won Xiu Qi. She has always been known as the "ta li shi" but based on the previous post on lab work and destroying things, I guess I had won.. Sorry ya, Xiu Qi... Try harder next time.. Hehe..

crazy things to do in a university

Crazy things that I had done so far in my final year:-

1. Went fishing at 11 p.m.

2. Went cycling at the old campus with a group of ten


our catch of the night - 2 fishes actually

lab work is fun.. when i get to burn n destroy things

Lab work is kinda fun actually... well.. especially when i get to burn and destroy things.. Let me give u a recap of what had happened during my lab work so far..

There are two Masters students in my lab. They don't talk much, so it's kinda boring for a cheerful and friendly person like me. So these are the things that i did to entertain myself.....

1st day in the lab.... I was asked to wash all the Bijou bottles that i needed using the baby bottle brush. Guess what I did? I accidentally broke the brush, snapping it into two. Ooopsss... First thing destroyed..

I've lost track I had spent in the lab so I'll give u the basic account of what had been destroyed so far:-
2 gloves (i accidentally burn my gloves while lighting the lighter--- hehe)
2 inoculating loops (destroyed the first while i was doing streaking.. Hence I asked for a replacement. Mana tahu, 5 minutes later, I broke the other one...)

And the most recent account...

I had to prepare the TCBS agar. I had been keeping an eye on it so as not to let to boil out from the bottle. After 20 minutes of watching, I got bored and decided to do something else which makes my time more worthwhile. So I refilled the recycled pipette tips so as to be autoclaved.
Again, mana tahu... I haven't even left for 2 minutes and the agar solution boiled out from the bottle!! MY AGAR WAS BURNT BADLY!!

I panicked at first, but after that I chuckled to myself as I poured the agar onto petri dishes. I dunno what's funny but the fact that the 2 Masters students did not say anything and pretended that nothing had happened (but they just opened the door widely -- the whole lab smells of burnt agar) made it funny.

Boy.. how i love my lab work.. Makes my life more interesting.. Haha..

Getting old..

i think i am getting OLD.. I seem to have forgotten most of my passwords set for most accounts. Firstly, i forgot my Facebook password, next my Google gmail password and now.. just 5 minutes ago, i forgot what my password for Blogspot is..

CRAP!!

thanks for the comment sis...

But honestly sometimes i also dunno why i live.. the purpose of life in this world... it's very confusing isn;'t it? all of us live just to die...

industrial training

All this while I've been thinking..
Should i regret that i've rejected the National Cancer Research Institute's (cariff) offer? Thoughts have been playing and running wildly in my head.
After two weeks doing my industrial training in Miri GH, I have finally been able to adapt myself-- well, a little...

Miri GH has given me the opportunities to learn a lot of new things-- things i have not seen or heard before. But sometimes, it just keeps me wondering why i should learn all these things. They are just not related to the course that i am studying now. All the while in the hospital, I've been envious of the doctors working there. They are doing the job that I've always aimed for, the chance to cure people, the chance to be in the spotlight where you can be busy and running about, shouting into your caller saying that you are on your way to the OT. That kind of life is what I've always dreamt for.

But today, after watching a doctor doing bone marrow extraction on 2 patietns i change my mind.
No, it's not that i couldn't bear watching needles aand syringes. I've been into OT watching doctors performing ceasarean and brain surgery. But it's the patients' sufferings that brought a halt to my will-never-be-able-to-achieve-dream.

Both patients are about 13 or 14 years of age. It was really depressing, though watching them having their bone marrow extracted from them. It was painful---excruciatingly painful, from their shouts of agony and pain. That was unbearable.

It makes you think how fragile we human are. And makes me realise too, how important our health is. Working in a hospital, where a kid as small as 4 suffering from major illness leaves me depressed everytime i reach home.

Therefore, I am thankful for not achieving that dream...

finally i m home.. Feels so nice to be home..

four things i m addicted to in my life....

1. music

2. English novels... my bookshelf is FULL of them

3. dogs.. another addition here;- Wa Wa

*Wa Wa*

*a playful puppy*

*a puppy with no tail.. funny.. i'm still wondering what breed it is*

*playing hide and seek.. it walks like a panda too*



4. chocolates

to the penangites..

Hi fellow penang friends!!

I'm currently writing a melodramatic story place set in Penang back in the 1920s.. Dedicating this piece of story to all my penangite friends and my mum..

Btw, if you wanna take a glimpse of the story or if you wanna read it, just approach me..

Can Smile Without You..

I'm sleepy here, typing my Plant Tissue Culture assignment, listening to Can't Smile Without You by Barry Manilow in jazz version.. Suddenly, the lyrics gave me a new idea...
This is my modified version of the lyrics:....

You know I can smile without you
I can smile without you
I can laugh, and I can sing
I'm finding it hard to do everything
You see I feel sad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can smile without you
I can smile without you
I can laugh and I can sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're glad
I feel glad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can smile without you
I can smile without you
I can laugh and I can sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're sad
I feel sad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can smile without you

There.. Sounds better..

Moral of the story:
1) Americans please, next time do not pronounce can the same way as can't.. That way your lyrics wont sound the same anymore.

2) Rhyming songs with glad, sad is stupid and ridiculous..

Tuesdays..

Man.. I hate Tuesdays.. I really do.. Classes from 8am till 5 pm.. Then more discussions and assignments..

Got gun anyone? Shoot me now..
