Luxurious Cave Woman

Hi people!!! Long time no blog! Ever since I went back home last Friday, I've been living a life of a luxurious cave woman. Luxurious because I ate a lot of good food and hence gained 2-3 kgs back; Cavewoman because my mobile's batt went dead and my PC refused to work, so I was rather out of connection with almost the world.

This is also why I didn't blog the past one week. I just came back to hall today to clean room and to use the internet also, suffering from withdrawal symptons already.

I need to play Neopets!!! No Neopets can't sleep leh! Heh Heh. Gonna blog about my trip to Ubin asap lah!

Talking cats

I love watching this! It always make me laugh!

Exam Aftermath

The past 4 days have been lethal.

Exam at 9am.

Nap at 2pm.

Woke up at 5pm.

Bath at 9pm.

Nap again at 12mn.

Woke up at 3am.

Coffee at 6am.

Brush teeth at 7am.

Exam at 9am again.

The rest of the time I was studying. I dunno how I managed to pass through this ordeal of weird study times. The effects were bad: swollen eyes, backache, headache.

But it kinda pushed me harder to study too, knowing that I have less than 12 hrs in between papers.

Still, no more next time. Once is enough.

Now, I'm getting ready for something: Concussion in progress.

The older we get, the younger we behave.

A girl friend of mine was gloating over other people's misfortune of having less than 2 days break for the next paper; she has the luxury of 1 week to prepare for her next paper.

And I was gloating over other people's misfortune of having their last paper till next week; mine ends tomorrow. Hiak Hiak Hiak.

Anyway, the girl was fooling around, as in busy chatting and talking kok with some of her friends, inclusive of guys and girls, those kind where we talk loudly, act roughly and say stupid things. So I delibrately hao liao to her that my last paper was tomorrow, she acted angry and hit on her one of her male companions. The combination of potential and kinetic energies was transformed into huge sound energy. Piak!

My action was graded C for being childish; her action was graded F for being outrageous and brainless.

I mean, do you need to hit a guy so hard just because my paper finished earlier than yours? The guy was really astonished lor. And she is 27 years old leh!!! She think she's still 17 meh? Only young kids do that: that's the action I saw on one teenage girl yesterday leh!

Wah lao, flirt also a bit too rough bah?

Today's paper makes me feel like a...

Dreamweaver MX!

Ha ha, serious.

I had to code a webpage and compile them inside my head to visualise how they look like.

Headache.. coz I'm a lousy compiler.

Meh~~~

Last paper tomorrow!!! Yeah!!!

Ah!!!

I just want to get a D for today's paper also so difficult siah!

Qn 1 is a giveaway, but I sub the wrong variants! Pui! 50% gone.

Qn 2 is so so, but I couldn't remember much!!! Pui! 60% gone.

Qn 3 & 4 are killers, enough said. 90% gone.

So my probability of getting a D is only 2%. Siao liao.

This year's paper is easier compare to last year's, and this showed one thing: 他们不按牌理出牌啦！讨厌！

Where is the Bode Diagram? Where are the switch capacitors? I studied all the hard one it never came out!

Tsk tsk tsk

I just realised I can't cheat exaggerate my progress in my FYP, especially to the PhD student, because if I had do anything, it is supposed to appear in the project environment and both he and my sup can see!!!

Jiat Lat le..

A big ball of fur

This puppy is freaking cute!!! So cute that it can kill me!!!

It's unbelivable that this round ball with short legs will grow into a giant & graceful Alaskan Malamute.

Nice!

Everytime I buy the mix veggie rice from my hall canteen, without fail, I will always order the steam egg.

But not today. Coz...

.

.

.



I made myself!!! Doesn't look very nice, but it's yummy! Somehow the texture and taste is very similar to McD's scrambled egg. Oh yah, I used the soy sauce in the pantry, don't think the Auntie will mind la hor. I only "steal" one tablespoon.

The very creative me just now altered the Happy Birthday song specially for EM, coz it's her birthday today.

Happy Birthday To You
A girl as fair as snow
Pretty & cool like Ice Fairy
Except when you are angry (*splash)

The splash thing was because of something terrible that she did that to someone (not me, I don't want/dare to argue with her anymore after this incident) during a heated argument. Heh. Song is exclusively for her.

The song is repeating inside my head. -_-

P/S: Apparently I had an argument with her before the incident thing, but I totally forgot what was it already, but definitely milder than the incident.

Jinx

I think Miss Ng and I are seriously jinxed when we are together. :P

Miss Ng happily borrowed her uncle's car and me very honoured to take a ride in this big Peach. But then hor, the first time we ate outside NTU she bumped her car and the car got a new line to it. Today, we went to Al Fresco, and while she dropped me at Hall 2 to buy some waffles, her car just stalled and refused to power up when we wanted to leave. We had to walk back.

Miss Ng, 我们是不是八字不合？？？

Wah... 1st Attempt fail

My first attempt to make soft-boiled eggs failed, BIG TIME!

Apparently, plastic container does not make good soft-boiled eggs, the egges were swimming in the container for almost 15 minutes! But the end result wasn't what I want leh! The taste was very bland also, maybe coz I didn't add soy sauce lah.

还是因为没有家里的味道？

思琪: 杀手

Tat was my MSN nick when the song 杀手 was just released, sometime in June? I was totally hooked to this song, even till now, but lesser degree already. It's my Bye Bye Ring Ring tone and mobile phone ringtone. The song resides both in my mobile phone and MP3 player. I even have 2 versions of tis song. I seeked the MTVs, read the JJ's idea behind this MTV blah blah blah.

It was an addiction!

It became so bad that I actually kinda liking the idea of killing. I MSNed it in my nick too, like this:

思琪: 杀手
杀死所有的蚂蚁

Wah ha ha, pun not intended, but I was indeed trying to exterminate all the ants in my room who came attracted to the EM's food.

Sisters' Island Recce Trip 11 May 2007

/*This entry was way back in May, found it in my drafts, don't know why I didn't post it */
Date: 13 May 2007
Time: 10.30pm

Took half day leave on Fri, coz I left my sweater at home. Initially was to meet the committee straight after work, but coz it would be freezing cold at night, decide to just clear my half day and went home to rest. However, I ended up chatting with my Astro President and friends, thus I only slept for about 1 hr which was like not much.

I left my house at around 5.30 coz I had arrange to meet my President 6pm at Bishan Mrt last cabin, coincidentally, just as I past the gantry, I saw YX stepping out from the lift, talked talked a bit, and then I rushed for my train which was arriving.

I arrived at the MRT station on the dot, but President was late coz she went shopping for the night's ration. About 10 trains have gone by the time she came with big bags and small bags. Poor thing, she had so many things to carry. Other than her own bag, she had the tent, the ground sheet and her bags of goodies.

When we reached Marina Bay, only one person had not arrived, so we were there discusing what to do for the night. Basically, we had to scout around the area for the best view, suitable place to pitch the tent and programmes.

Fast forward to where we arrived at the pier, the bumboat uncle very funny. I called and asked him where was he. He said he saw me and describe my wear. Then he kept asking me to turn right, but I saw no one. Turned out the uncle was calling out the wrong direction la. Anyway, I should have asked him on the spot to cut the price to $140, easier for us to divide among ourselves. Had a troublesome time calculating the cost after the trip after the trip.

The bumboat ride was so fun!!! All of us went to sit at the open air and took many pictures! JH had a digital SLR with him lor! Wah lau, just a small trip and he equipped this kind of camera with him. Nikon brand somemore lor... anyway, the rest all yelled they wanna get a Nikon camera, I was thinking, yeah, buy and collect dust. :P Hardcore Astro Photographer!

We had a night meeting which lasted for about 3 hrs, it would have ended earlier if JH did not interupt us with, "Wanna see Jupiter?", "Hey, come and see the Jewel Box", "Can see Saturn's ring!" etc etc. Then those hardcore ones would rush to the tripod, I slowly walked there coz I see until I dun want to see liao, ha ha, actually was because legs numb from sitting. The most interesting one was Jupiter and its moons. We could see all 4 moons, and Ganymede was the one we are interested. It was casting a shadow on Jupiter and as it started to move, and from our view, it looked like a pimple on Jupiter.

We had a really fantastic idea for the upcoming trip this Saturday, and I'm now really looking forward to it. Shall not say it out till after the trip. All I can say is not going to be the boring kind of see-stars-and-talk session.

Enough said, see photos!

Ah Singh

I wanna blog but I had no topic until a friend happened to send me this really funny joke about Singh. I spent 5 mins reading it and trying to make out the pun. Some I don't understand, do you?

Click to read

I read halfway then I decided to blog about it, and when I continue reading it, I finally know why I don't understand all the Singhs already...

"Only Malaysian will know this mail what meaning"
Even this sentence is so Malaysianish.

What I want to be.

I've decided.

What I want to be.

I want to be a Chicken!

Not the hooker chicken lah!

But brainwash myself that I'm a "chicken" and I have to "hatch eggs", so I cannot go anywhere coz I have to coop myself in the tiny room and "warm the eggs".

I have 4 eggs to warm FYI. They need to be hatched consecutively from Monday to Thursday, at 9am sharp everyday.

So I can only be let out several times a day, not more than 30 minutes each time.

Machiam so ke lian siah... wah ha ha...

It can be done... definitely. If I can play games for 8 hours straight, surely I can do the same to studying!!!

Jiayou!!! Last 4 papers only!!!

First paper

Current time is 7.42am. 5 hrs more to go.

Roar...

It is raining and I feel like sleeping, dreaming of getting my tresses for some nice trimming & colouring. =)

13/11/07 9.30pm
15 hours to first paper

shit.

Inconsiderate

It was just a blissful afternoon on my way home. Thinking of the wondeful food I would get to eat later.

Thank goodness I wasn't so lost in my own world else I would have step onto this!

Caution: Do eat before viewing this pic. Is very very gross, really!

It was't at a secluded place, it was right in the middle of the pathway where many people have to walk! Wah lau, seriously, this guy wanna fuck in the public is totally fine with me, but couldn't he throw this into the rubbish which is like 3 steps away?

Hah, the girl got him so tired that he couldn't walk is it?

Dumbass.

Dog Washing Machine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgAFC66khpg

I am very disgusted by the French.

They invented this dog washing machine, so you just need to dump the dog in and there will be water spraying and even blowdrying services!

If they are going to be so lazy to wash the dogs, then don't keep a dog lah!

Wash them one a week also lazy!!!

Angry! The poor dog, it looked so sad can!?! Except for the other one which had it's human companion in the same ordeal with it.

Buay Tahan already

I'm so on time now...

On my way to ZZ Land after 12mn.

1 hr late implies painful eyes.

Dunno good or bad lah, hope I can wake up pretty early to slay the 3003, 4001 & 4041 tomorrow.

Nighty...

Tak Boleh Lah...

It took me 2 days to hear one lecture recording siah...Ears are cooked liao lor.

Still, progress is considered good, and I think I'm using more effort than previous semesters.

Partly because I started my revision like 2 weeks before exams. -_-" I have to digest at least 4 modules everyday, and the stupid 3003 is taking 50% of my time.

My only relax entertainment was Facebook. Neopets had some problems with the games, can't load; dunno why but is good for me lah.

I strayed off to SPI website yesterday, and stayed for 4 hours. Tsk tsk tsk, else lecture would be finished long ago. I didn't dare to bath coz it was 12mn already, and I hopped to my bed, feeling scared.

The scary feeling went off after 10 minutes. -_-, but body already glued to bed, so I just went ahead and sleep.

A stupid move coz I just changed my bedsheet the day before, so I slept on a clean bed with a dirty body. Kaoz... at the very least, I was cooping in room whole day except for dinner which I walked to can 2, so not very dirty lah. My hair still smell nice wor!

I wish time passed more slowly leh...

Impecunious

This word is so me.

Know what it means?

Is not "cute", is not "pretty", is not "sexy".

Is "habitually poor".

Wah ha ha.

And I'm not penurious. :P

I checked Dictionary.com to learn new words, must upgrade mah!

S & Z

I was very nervous to meet my FYP Prof yesterday, coz I had not been doing much, and I was afraid that the meeting would drag very long. I delibrately scheduled to meet him at 10am, and I had a lecture at 10.30am, still 30 minutes seemed very long to me who did not have much to show him except a last minute proposed story flow chart of my project.

He was very happy to see me on the dot; I was very happy to know that he was to leave in 10 minutes. =)

Anyway, when I showed him the flow chart, did some explaination why such arrangement, how the game should flow blah blah blah. He said, "Oh, very good, very good!"

Phew, sense of huge relief. My attempt to impress him worked again. :P

As I was doing on the China's history whizz kids, much to his delight, I had the characters' names written on the flow chart too, in Chinese somemore, attempting to por him a bit since I think Chinese PRC prefer reading Chinese to English.

So he was pointing at the 2nd name, asking me who was the character. He added that he didn't even know this character.

I replied proudly, looking at the word I scribbled, "Wang Zeng Ru"

"Oh, ok ok ok, I see I see"

Later on after the meeting, when I was casually flipping at the stories, I saw that the hanyu pinyin name was Wang Seng Ru. Seng, not Zeng.

-_- Luckily he is a nice guy, and he didn't attempt to correct me, else I would be so malu already.

I'm so good at making a fool of myself.

The world is so round...

Met up my poly gang last night. By the way, I'm sorry to those people especially DL and Di who wanna meet me for gai gai or lim teh yet I always say I not free but here you wondered why I have time to meet my poly gang: We meet in Yishun so give me the chance to go home again plus the organiser of the met-up was delivering her red bombs. So yah, I'm free after 22nd Novemver, 11am! Can book me now lah! =)

As I was saying, we met and Teh Ni brought his new girlfriend to show us (we are one big happy and crazy "family", so he as the only boy must show us his gf to the Jie jies and Mama mah).

His gf is my Pri. 6 classmate.

So qiao right? Wah lau, I saw her and I actually remember her name, not just the name we address, but her full name: Ang Moh miah plus Chinese name. Of coz I didn't call her by the full name lah, so rude, but I was pointing at her (already very salah) and called her.

Actually, she was in the same poly as me but diff course ,she couldn't remember me already at that time we met (she was saying Hi to Teh Ni during lunch break) and I didn't get the chance to speak to her as she was in a rush. 4 years later, we met again. Wah lau eh.

Sing* It's a small world after all...

Hilarious Home

Yesterday my house was quite "happening", as in suddenly very noisy and rowdy with just 5 people: Mum, Dad and 3 kids (er hem... official is 1)

Case 1:
I was reading the newspaper at 5.45pm, snacking at the pong piah Mum and Dad got from KL, when Mum went to water the flowers (she had to walk past me). Half an hour later, I wondered how come she took so long to water her plants, even if she need to move the pots or anything, she would have call me since her left wrist is weak. So I went to take a look and Mum was not outside. I pondered where could she have gone to: went to buy groceries? As I walked back to my room, I suddenly remembered: She went to fetch something call "Jamie". Ha ha, I forgot I have a 8 year old sister from the time I reached home until 6.15pm, a total of about 2 hours? At this point, the thing called "Jamie" was already at the door trying her best to tiptoe and open the lock.

Case 2:
Jamie brought back her exam papers, and she did pretty well this semester. Anyway, the papers need parent's signature, so Dad was the bearer of all signatures since we were young although he didn't really bother the grades. I was in the kitchen helping Mum to cook dinner (and ler chai at the same time) when we heard Dad talking very loudly to Jamie (actually he is loud, but he seldom talks). Checking out the commotion, I saw Dad armed with his faithful calculator, doing the math for the marks. Dad summoned me to double check and there was discrepancy in Jamie's math paper: She scored 83 but the teacher gave her 75. So Dad said later ask Jia to check the marks again. There was uproar from Mum, "Wah, 8 marks leh, is a BIG difference leh, she is in band 1 now, not band 2 oredi." So I wrote the matter down in the discrepancy form.

Case 3: Jia came home and did the math, so yah, we were right. It was 83 and not 75, then Mum got weirdly panicky and said, "Aiyah, tomorrow got to see teacher leh, what should I wear huh? I very nervous leh!" Then Jia told her no need because we wrote the matter down in the form.

Chey would be the word to describe Mum's reaction.

So I was commenting how exaggerated we were: It took 3 people, a calculator and mental sum skill to tally the marks, I should write it in the form that one use mental sum, one calculator ...

when Mum cut in: One use abacus

Now you people know where my funny genes came from.

Case 4:
The ice cream was at downstairs, so the greedy Jamie wanted to buy coz the ones in the fridge she doesn't like it. She was so kan chiong to buy that she wanted to go alone. So I told her to wait for me, I would go with her after I finished the dishes. So while she was waiting, Mum asked her whether she had taken the money to buy. She replied, "No need what, Da jie got money!"

Da jie very poor lah.

Mum was beside me and she saw my reaction, then she said, "Da Jie no money lah! Go get $10 from my purse!"

More -_-

In the end I didn't have to go coz Jia the Rich Ah Mah(:P) happened to be reaching home soon and she called to get our orders. =)

Case 5:
While Jamie was enjoying her ice-cream, I was packing some stuffs. Looking at me like watching a show, Jamie suddenly asked me with that doeful eyes look, "Da Jie, you don' want to eat your ice-cream ah, I'm sure you didn't have any good food in hostel." (These are the exact words she spoke)

I was so appalled that I went to kitchen to tell Mum and Jia. I mean how she know I didn't have good food when usually kids will think outside food is better right? Jia immediately defended herself that she didn't show Jamie my blog nor our conversation.

Aiyah, that brat already can break Jia's password and login to the PC, what else she can't do right?

How to have a perky butt?

Girls! Are you so sick of your flat butt? Do you wish to a kicksome ass like J.Lo?


Fear no more, here comes a really convenient trick to transform your butt from this...


to this!

Pic courtesy of zafu.com

Step 1: Get on board a bus (MRT doesn't work, the ride is too smooth) that's not too full, make sure you get yourself sit between 2 fat people if you are thin; if you are fat like me, it doesn't really matter. Sitting in between 2 skinny girls with bags larger than them will do.

Step 2: Do not sit all the way until you can rest your back comfortably, sit half a seat. In fact, that 2 bags would have hinder your back rest already. Oh yah, no handle poles in front of you. Clutch your bag or fold your arms.

Step 3: Every time the bus swerves to the right or to the left, you would automatically squeeze your butt muscles to prevent yourself from falling to the right or left too much. Continue squeezing even after the bus ride is smooth for maximum effect. You will have no choice but to continue squeeze coz it have the illusion you are not taking up too much seat and the bags are not knocking on you.

Step 4: When the bus is about to reach the terminal, relax your butt. Else you will walk like a robot with a cramp.

If you will wake up with a aching butt next morning, congratulations! You are a step closer to have a perkier butt!

Stay tune for more tricks! (Actually I hope not.)

Deprivation

Yesterday, I made up my mind to go home tonight, and coincidentally, Jia complained to me last night about our PC giving her problem and little hacker at home.

So she gave me a preview of tonight's dinner also: one of Mum's best dishes, NGOR HIANG!!!

Last night was a conducive sleeping environment, with the rain pittering-pattering at 11pm. I snuggled to my bed at 12mn, totally regardless of my interim report to be submitted today.

Guess what happen?

I dreamt that my mum was making more ngor hiang!!!

Yummy...

Deprivation continues on Tuesday. Hiaz...

Creativity makes you...

Someone was telling me how she couldn't see the dancer turning left no matter how she tried, so she concluded that she is being too right-brained, too emotional etc.

I tried to console her, so I said, "Ok what, right-brain means very creative, you are very creative, that's why you think a lot of nonsense."

She was really in that "觉得好气又好笑" state.

Mu ha ha ha.

虚伪

那天某某人气急败坏的向我诉苦，说这某讲师有多么偏心，多么虚假，给予某某人的评语，某某人非常的不爽，觉得有欠公平，投诉的语气非常的不屑。

事隔两个礼拜后，轮到本人向某某人诉苦，故事只说到某讲师评本人可以多说些自身经历， 但本人有讲到啊，本人的队友也觉得奇怪啊！结果某某人说：“哎呀，是酱的啦，其实她是看个人表现的！”

继续谈下去，才知道某某人为何180度的转变：某某人的作业， 某讲师给了甲等。某某人还说，发了个 email 给某讲师，说课堂上的评语太过直接，某某人受到了极大的心灵创伤。某讲师说了 sorry, 还解释这是为了让我们以后可以做准备，现在直接一点， 好过我们踏入社会后被人贬。某某人就被某讲师一语惊醒梦中人。某某人还真的是在课堂上睡觉叻，某讲师说的那番话，在课堂上也有讲啊！还吃饱没事儿干发 email, 什么心灵上受到创伤， 我呸！

向我诉苦时就没见得某某人那么替某讲师着想，拿了甲等， 就觉得某讲师待人处世非常有规律，会以个人的尺度来衡量，绝不以大众来量。哼，不知道是谁先说某讲师偏心男生的，本人才会以为此想法不止本人一个！

真是掉进粪坑又吃屎，踢我一脚后面笑。

Perfect Match Ice-Cream

Last week, I showed a perfect match slippers. This week, I'm gonna show a perfect match ice-cream!!!

My quirky friend FLY (not that pesky fly) actually order sundae with Strawberry and Hot Fudge! The crew had that classic look on her face when my friend ordered. The crew had to ask the manager, and the manager allowed it, just this once, and it was under special order!

My friend wasn't craving for the sundae, he just wanted to know if he could mix both since both sundaes cost the same. That's what we become when we studied too much: Think too much

A truly engineer-to-be: seek the fact through questioning; if no answer could be found; test it.

Disgruntled Student

I was, and I still am, feeling very very very sore about today's presentation. Practising in front of the mirror did not help at all, I still screwed it up. Looking at the comments really irked me to boiling point.

Ms P said I...

• had good preview, I think everyone does a good one.
• was Slightly Nervous, I admit it. I indeed was, hands shaking uncontrollably and speaking very fast.
• too many "Next", next...
• not much lift ups, she's refering to hand gestures
• no summary. I heard the 1st "ding", I just wanna finished.
• relaxed posture, the only part which the mirror helped.
• grammar mistakes, fine...
• need more vocal variety, must stress on important words
• good eye contact, but look at the sides more.

The 2 most tak boleh tahan comments were...

• Adding "s" to words which shouldn't take "s". This is really what the... I didn't notice, nobody noticed. She didn't give CONCRETE examples of me saying "s". =(
• Could have added personal experience. I DID I DID I DID WHAT! ='( I said I dreaded meetings most during IA what!!!

Disgruntled student. Almost wanted to tear the evaluation sheet in front of her. Ah.... 不可以"姜"没礼貌！
