Holidays

There’s less than a week left till the New Year, so this is probably the first, and the last post in December. For starters, the beginning of the month was officially started off with the rushing and completion of a 40% report which I took little over 12 hours to do (yeah, I’m bragging. Allow me this minor entertainment to myself XD)

Then the following week was used to “carefully” plan and to rush another project into completion. In order to do so I was up 8 to 8 everyday, spending the bulk of my time in labs and gloves, haha. And just in time I completed the experimental stage of my final year project and was able to return home few days earlier than expected: a trip that I was allowed to drive from KT up to Kuantan before drowsiness got ahead of me. (Planning to drive ALL the way back next time! This shall be my first objective of the New Year’s ^^)

Then came my BBQ party, which was really, really hectic. I like BBQs. Specifically, I like to sit at the BBQ area and BBQ stuff and not move. But that day I was so busy running around that I didn’t even have time to sit down for more than a few seconds T.T

Here I would like to thank the SS group that made themselves so helpful that day. Thanks a lot! If you guys weren’t there to provide free labor and entertainment I really don’t know how’d turn out. Also not forgetting those who attended XD

Immediately after was the trip to Sunway Lagoon, which was a blast, although we couldn’t find the obstacle course thingy in the Wet Park. Has it been demolished or something? I remember stumbling across it the first time I was there but for the three times after I’ve never managed to find it again. I certainly didn’t dream it, if that’s what anyone was wondering. == I have other supporters!! >.<

And then I drove my parents to LCCT (another great plus in this holiday ^^) and am due to fetch them back soon (YAY! More driving!).

Right now? I’m working on some stuff that may or may not be released to public, depending on the quality of the end product. And also, for the first time in… forever, am looking forward eagerly for those people in HEPA to FINALLY release my sem 5 results.

Shocking, no? I was never one to anticipate results of any kind. (Spoiler: more bragging) for one, when I was weak at a subject I’d suck at it, and I never gave my results a second glance other than to come to terms that I failed the goddamn paper. On the other hand, when I was good at a subject, I was GREAT, and therefore, knowing I was SO great, I did not have to wait for my results to know that I was gonna score the paper cause I was awesome like that ^^

Ah. I think I’m already bragging too much. Forgive me. Vanity can be so entertaining at times. Anyhow I’m waiting for my results basically cause I have NO idea what I’d get. Now I understand the feelings of my classmates back in school. I never did understand why they’d bug the teacher to grade their papers faster. And teachers would never get why I was so uninterested in my scores. Probably because I told them before to mark the papers slowly and don’t strain themselves for the sake of releasing the marks earlier. Haha.

Looking back. I think I was too laid back.

I still am. Just abit less, I guess.

Laid back is good. It’s relaxing. Peaceful. AND it doesn’t cause stress ^^

Peace good. Stress bad. XD

Music

Years ago I used to think that listening to music was a total waste of time. A needless hobby which has no benefits whatsoever. So much, that I would question everyone back then about why they’d do such a pointless thing.

The answer I most frequently got was: because it was relaxing.

I was even more confused. To the me back then, music was nothing but noise. If you I wanted to relax, it would be better if I was in some dark room, devoid of everything.

Yeah, back then a pure combination of total darkness, silence and solitude was my only way of releasing stress.

Still is, though. Just not the ONLY way anymore.

I don’t know since when, but I have come to realize what I did not before. That listening to music was relaxing.

Why?

Because it gives me something to focus on. To escape the literal world I live in.

This is also partially why I like music with good lyrics. Because its something more concrete that I can focus on apart from the shapeless melody that accompanies it. Of course the melody complements the lyrics. Or else I’d be more of a fan of poems, won’t I?

Poems are not bad, by the way. ^^

It’s a bad habit, actually. To focus so much on music that you I tend to ignore everything else around me.

I’d turn on the volume so loud that often I don’t realize that my attention was needed elsewhere until I see frantic body/hand movements from someone else.

Somehow the loud music brainwashes my mind and throws me into a pseudo-consciousness that lies to me. Saying:

there’s no one around you. Your world is only consists of what you can see. Other than that, nothing exists, even space. Everything around you is just a limitless black vortex.

ooh~ brainwash in progress~

Yeah. That’s actually what I see when I’m focused on something, in case anyone was wondering. Nothing but the thing I’m handling. Haha.

I think I’m getting to much off track.

Actually the purpose of this update is this:

My new baby!!!

It’s JUST toooo Friggin AWESOME!!!!! XD

I’m an extremely materialistic person. I know.

It’s not my fault that I like inanimate objects better than humans. It’s just that I don’t like them enough.

If I like it, I get thrown into total obsession. ^^

I just don’t have a reason to get obsessed over humans at the moment.

^^

Flight home

I went on an airplane for the first time in my life. It was SO fun!!! Haha… though at first it was scary because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I tried asking for information at the counter but the person there wasn’t very helpful. I had no idea what to expect when I checked in and entered the boarding room.

Then there was this earlier flight by MAS (I was using AirAsia) that kept requesting passengers to board while the AirAsia people just kept silent. The boarding time on my ticket said 8.40 but it was close to 9.00 when they opened the boarding room. On top of that the closing time for boarding was supposed to be at 9pm. Imagine my nervousness when nothing happened until then. I was really terrified of missing the plane. Haha.

My seat was supposed to be right next to the aisle, according to pictograms on the plane but this old guy, either by mistake or on purpose, sat on my seat, so I got the window seat (yay!). My parents said it was boring since I couldn’t see the clouds because my flight was at night but the night lights are pretty too.

There is SO much difference between the night view of KT and KL.

I barely had time to nod off when the pilot announced that we were going to land in 20 minutes. I was like, huh? Oh right. This is a flight, not a bus. Lol. Incidentally I saw PETRONAS twin towers. In the yellow glow of the night city lights, the twin towers were white, standing out. From my view they looked like Christmas tree worms. very cute-looking. Had no idea where the KL tower was btw.

Unfortunately the inside of the plane was too bright and I couldn’t get a picture. ==

I guess first timers always behave like jakuns, huh? The guy beside me was wearing that “you first time on plane kah?” look on his face so obviously that I tried to refrain taking pictures until I saw him looking away or trying to sleep. I’m sure nobody could have REALLY slept during that short flight ^^ll but seriously lah, I acted so jakun-ish that I’m amazed at myself.

Being on a plane feels very much like diving, because I guess in both cases there is this change in air pressure and I frequently had to equalize. I mean you can feel whether the plane was in ascent or decent. It was SO fun. ^^

In the five months I wasn’t home, Jedo got SO big. XD

He’s just so cute other cats can’t even compare. ^^

For the First time~

I wonder if i am a masochist. Sadist i KNOW i am since a long time ago, and i think deep down each and every one of us has a little sadistic nature in them. i mean, when someone falls, don't we like at least smile before rushing over in concern? second part is probably not in most people ^^

Anyway, back on track, i say that because think the pain from the muscle ache i'm experiencing now is kinda... nice? haha. takes me back to the days when i was training at Assunta. i used to always wake up on Sundays with muscle aches that lasted for DAYS! but i always looked forward to it XD

my campus has a badminton court!!! muscle ache result from that. damn! to think i never realised it in my two years here!! then there's a pool table we could use, too!! all free!! wahahahhaa~!

kay. i'm getting carried away. carrying on to more sobering news. my car has battery/wiring/alternator/what not problems. so i have to go get it fixed tomorrow. praying that it's the battery and tomorrow i NEED to finish filming!!! GAH!

About the pool table: It was always lying in the Pusat Sukan and i always wondered "How the heck anyone's gonna play this without equipment??!" when i passed by. Turns out they let you borrow it from the office. ^^ So means can play during office hours only. One complaint though, they SHOULD fix the fan. It was friggin hot. Imagine working up a sweat while playing pool!!

The other discovery was fun too (badminton court). Back when I used to play every week, I could take on a double pair by myself for a full hour before resting. Now with the lack of exercise~I could only tahan for like half an hour before timing out. ==ll

So as I’m typing this now my whole body is aching. except my left hand - never used it lol. but my right hand involuntarily shakes from time to time. XD abit like ouji's o.O

I booked the court next week too! hahahaha~

Recently

I am busy with several things. Highlight of the month would be my new pet culture Artemia sp. ^^ or in layman's terms the "SEA MONKEY". This variant is smaller than the commercial type cuz its supposed to be mini-sized, for fish larvae to eat. commercial types are bred to be bigger and more visible for ease for the owner's view.

ah my artemia is so cute...

On a more depressing note, test season is here. i have tests lined up everyday for the next week (3 days later) and i have not touched the lecture notes yet. ==ll

anyway, on a separate and happier note, i was in the mood to type stuff today so Part 1 of my new long-short story is done.

somehow i seem to be unable to construct short short stories. i end up being long winded and what i expected to be a three-four paragraph intro becomes a full length paged description.

haih.

anyway still figuring out how to use my fictionpress account so as soon as it is up i'll announce to the world.

haha.

Leonardo the Genius

I really dont like calling this guy da Vinci cuz that part is basically "of Vinci". It's not really his family name.

but the whole world knows him as and likes to call him da Vinci so whatever la. who am I to say anything right?

Just a short post (seeing that my blog has been abandoned for as long as i came back)

GO TO THIS EXHIBITION!!!

it's totally worth your money plus with the >promotion< on you can get tickets BUY 1 FREE 1!!!

merchandise a bit pricey though. the T-shirts were nice material and design and all but it was at a whooping RM30~ i'm a poor poor student... sponsor me? anyways i got myself a poster of "The Last Supper"

ahahhahahahaha~ *bliss* XD

Anyway a sneak preview of the exhibit. will post the rest on FB later. These are taken from the official blogs. XD

virus we found your twin!!!!!

I've got LINE!!!!

Finally my house in k.t has internet access. apparently i'm one of the first among my friends to get have access, although was (i think) the last to register for it.

And that was just last week!!!

Super-efficient la that guy! Thank you En. Saufi!!!

and SOME PEOPLE mentioned before it needed two-three MONTHS to get ready. sheeshhh....

been bragging about it all day haha... i think my course mates wanna kill me liao. pitiful them. applied long time ago d now also havent get.

staying stuck in a house with no internet connection and nothing else to do is SO boring. no class, no assignments, no projects, blah.... etc.

now only have to worry about monthly bill...

A Dota Chat Story

My brother was playing dota the other day and I was watching. The following conversation happened. Part of it I ask brother to type one. Like the Japanese reference.

anyone familiar with dota should understand the terms. if not then just skip on to the chat.

Characters:
Chukkagurl(Traxex)
The_sniperguy(Kunka) <--brother Void and Raijin I forgot their real name so whatever la. They pelakon sambilan only. Situation: the scourge which originally had 3 members are left with one after two left the game so Traxex kept urging of one of the sentinels (4 people) to switch to scourge to even out the game. so it would be 3v2 instead of 4v1.

Traxex: not fair?! 4v1?
Traxex: I not gonna play on Malaysia room anymore

Kunka: u not from Malaysia? Then where u from?

Traxex: I am a Filipino.

Void: Im Filipino too
Raijin: Im Korean

Kunka: I am Japanese

Traxex: I am a Japanese gurl

Kunka: not fair to switch

Traxex: y not fair?

Kunka: u already level 18
(The rest was in the lvl11 - 13 range, so wat i meant was that if one went over, the two person tag team with a seriously outleveled player would be unfair)

Traxex: no im level 21
Traxex: what age
Traxex: I want ur age
(i saw the level 5 mins ago so the info abit outdated, but mana tau the fella suddenly ask for age)

Kunka: I am 89 <--my bro did this himself

Traxex: u know Im only 13? And I kill you so many times

Kunka: old man hand slow mah. When I young my hand faster
Kunka: when I young I so pro

-game end-

Traxex never gave a reply and my bro already quit the program. Me and my sister was in the room and we were laughing our heads off. Then my sister said

“You know, if really 89 years ago there's no computer?”

Me: “By right there’s no dota 89 years ago also. No la logically younger no need so many years back. 86 years old also younger ma.”

“Logically yeah Japanese live longer and got better technology so maybe really got computer 89 years ago.”

Me: …

“Imagine the 13 year old year crying to the mother mummy mummy you know I kill a 89 year old man in dota so many time? But he win me in the end and he say he pro when he young”

Me: “Yeah the mother will say hah 89 years ago got computer ah?”

Maybe the 13 year old really believe it. You know la. Kids today are so gullible and have no common sense whatsoever.

That traxex fella was reallyreallyreally rude btw.

Pyramid outing

Today i went pyramid with my kid siblings.

What happened was:

Random walk

Window shop

Get hungry

Eat Pizza

Play basketball in arcade

Be very very tired

Go home

So my main point here is, during the window shopping slot i found this.

Its like saying:

hey i'm for sale! bring me back? *puppy eyes*

person steps forward for purchase...

*evil stare* dont touch me!

i mean, whats the point of this ironic advertisement??!! you wanna sell that thing or not?

make up ur mind la!

Field Trip awaiting...

My lecturer for "Biology of Marine Vertebrates" is taking us on field trip tomorrow!! but before that:

I’ve decided that the remaining videos I have will be uploaded on facebook instead.

Reason 1: it looks HORRIBLE on blogspot.

Reason 2: I’m being a nice person and complying with requests of the stars from the video who wish avoid publicity. (cuz my blog public ma)

Reason 3: em. Cuz my facebook no video? Saje wan to put this reason. 3 nice number what.

Anyway. Seriously. Back to topic.

I’m goin on course field trip to Langkawi tomorrow! YEAH hahahaha…..

I’m supposed to do a presentation or something on it as an assignment so expect pictures and vids(maybe)… still deciding whether to put em here or facebook.

Maybe some here some there.

although the bus trip will be long and tiring... oh wth. can sleep on bus ma. i just hope whoever sits beside me doesn't ask me to shut the air con due to coldness.

you'd be suprised how many people cannot stand the cold around here. sheesh.
