DIMSUM DAY

Today, i went out for dimsum lunch with my didi...last time i went to a restaurant called 'mei mei', this time, i went to Habour City... some yummy pictures posted below...

This is called kai jat..chicken, chinese sausages, fish and yam slices wrapped with beancurd..

This is typical siu mai...okie la...mo hiam la...

Wor tip...compatible to esquire kitchen...but the latter seemed to be better..

Har kao...i think ipoh's better...coz the prawn not fresh enuf...but better than mei mei's

Xiu long bao...Dragon-i's is definitely better than this...should have 'xiong tong' wrapped inside...i think the chef's skills is not good enough, so the 'xiong tong' leaked out..

Teng Zai Zhuk...okie ler...the peanut not boiled long enough...

Salad har...with pineapple, mayo and prawn inside...not bad, but definitely ipoh's salad har is better...and really A LOT LOT better...i miss ipoh's dimsum..

Char Siew Soo...inside filled with char siew lor...but i think mei mei's better...(mei mei's is round in shape...can refer to my previous blog for comparison..)

MANGO PUDDING!! oooo...I LOVE it...similar to Grand Palace's mango pudding....but this is a lot bigger than Grand Palace's...but i don't know the price..hahhaa!

wu gok....filled with yam...very nice indeed...

total price? around 10pound each, i think...i forgot! my brain is getting OLD...

ignorance is bliss indeed...

i never knew my housemates did not get along with each other until TODAY! gosh!! I am so unaware of my surroundings! umm....on a second thought, maybe i am not THAT insensitive... it's just that they conceal it well~ hahhaha!

I had been doing much of the cleaning so, a few of my housemates decided to stop me from cleaning up the mess made by the "one" person~ umm...a more correct term will be "the couple"...hahhaha!

on monday, three of us cleaned the flat sparkling clean...really, really cleaned the flat inside-out, upside-down~ HOWEVER, while we were cleaning, "the couple", Miss A, decided to make toasts for herself and her beau! we were disinfecting the counter with antibacterial spray and she was making toasts...and all the bread crumbs, again, left on the counter untended...imagine that! She left with her toasts and her beau, without helping the three of us...(but she did greet us..)

one of my housemates, Miss B, got mad...really mad and decided to spill out everything today (maybe she cant take it anymore...)~ she told me that she had a row with Miss A when she was drunk one night..(i don't know which night, coz they are ALWAYS drunk..but she said it was a month ago)... she told Miss A that she is really really PISSED OFF with her mess and her beau, Mr A... and they should actually clean up their stuffs and Mr A shouldn't PERMANENTLY stay at our flat since he has his own place too...which is 5 mins away...and the fact that this is a single-gender unit...(This couple always leave their stuffs on the counter, in the sink, or wherever possible...for DAYS or even WEEKS)...and i am always cleaning up their mess since i have nothing to do..(i am not hygiene freak...)

Miss A told Miss B off by saying "Every students are like that, you'll have to learn to live with it"

Wow~ and Miss A got really upset and cried a few times to Miss C...Yeah, and i never notice that Miss A and B didn't get along...weird...they were still laughing together the other day...anyhow, i am not going to interupt or take any side since it's a one-sided-view...

I told Miss A that maybe we should have a housemates meeting and sort things out since it'll be back stabbing if we gossiped behind her...apparently, ALL of the housemates had this issue (her mess and her beau) with her but didn't get the chance to complain it to her~

Let's hope that no one declare war~ or i'll have to seek refuge somewhere~ haha!

Ps: i think the upcoming meeting will be a failure or worse, a WAR...since Miss C's beau is also permanently residing at our flat...So, if Miss C can do it, Miss A can do it as well...but one thing for sure, Mr C never mess up anything...in fact, he clean up the mess Miss C made..haha! he even did her laundry for her! (which includes undies)...so cute!

here my pancakes come~

Umm.... i didn't get the chance to take the pictures of my pancakes last night...everyone is too busy eating!!! hahhaa!

So, i managed to make a few just now (my brunch)...i had used up my bananas and strawberries, so i had to make it plain...which means....PURE CHOCOLATE...

here comes the pancake war...

making 2 pancakes at once! (one thin and crispy, the other thick and fluffy)

See da difference?

My pancake...with chocolate syrup...

Add chocolate ice cream to it....

Wrap it up and squeeze more chocolate syrup on it and decorate with chocolate ice cream...

The other one is blackcurrant and with lemon juice and sugar..yum yum..

umm...it's palatable, okay?

the ice cream is MELTING!
Oh, this has nothing to do with pancakes...i just wana show off what i did to my bed...i drew all those stuffs...MUHAHAHHA

out of the blue..

i am actually waiting to make pancake... and i added one extra ingredient to it...topped with chocolate ice cream!! yum yum~

While waiting, i suddenly thought of my plan after finishing my MSc....If i were to go back Malaysia to work next time, I think i should stay in UK and complete my PhD...rationally thinking (with my rusty/moulded/fungal-over-grown brain), the biotechnology field in Malaysia hasn't developed yet....its technology is still MILES away compared to europe/japan/america...

So, if i study PhD, i can work as lecturer instead of just as researcher/biotechnologist....hmm...if i return with only my MSc, i can't possibly be a lecturer as i think i am not fit enough to be one....I had emailed my lecturer about it and she said i should definitely continue my PhD if i wanted to...So, I am now trying to decide what should i do? I would loved to stay close to family..studying PhD will be like a long term investment before i can get back to Malaysia huh? argh! headache...Someone suggested Germany or Switzerland to me...and i am kinda interested..but i feel like staying close to HOME...After all, i had been independent for so many years, and it's time for me to relax at home~

I am confused! argh....nevermind, i'll think about this after the pancake~ hahha!

I've heard a funny thing, but quite true...(although it doesn't apply to me now...)

The Grading System for Asian is like this:
A - Average
B - Bad
C - Crap
D - Dead
E - End of your life story (If you are dead, your story continue in hell)
F - Forever Forgotten/abandoned (F**ked)

The Grading System for Caucasian:
A - Awesome
B - Better than most people
C - Can do better
D - Average
E - should improve
F - Fail

Hahhaha! This is so true sometimes! I can still remember when I was in primary 4 and I got a 94% for my mathematics...The teacher (i can still remember her full name!) made me stay and even complained to my mum! She asked my mum to meet her and my mum thought i failed my exam! When she took out my exam paper, my mum was so shocked!

my mum's thought : 94% and i have to meet the teacher? Bet there'll be lots of parents later..
my thought : What?! I thought I failed!

Even until today, my mum can still remember this incidentand joked about it...hahha! But she is one of the best teacher i had ever came accross...Thank you for your care...(she really cared about me a lot because those students who got lower than me didn't get lectured..)

I am forever in debt to a few teachers....They really shaped me to who i am today...however, there's one particular teacher whom i'll hate her forever and ever and ever and ever and ever...hahha! i think most of my friends knew about this story~

okie, gotta make my pancake! tata

Pancake Day?

hmm..This is the first ever time i heard of a pancake day....

I've heard of Mother's day, Father's day, Birthday, Children's day, Friendship's day, Valentine's day, etc....but i had never heard of Pancake Day....So, i am actually wondering if there's any chocolate day as well!!! hahhaa!

According to my housemate, Pancake day is actually something related to Christianity...and you have to give up something after the pancake day...my housemate says she is going to give up alcohol! hooray!!! and i hope all the others will give up alcohol as well....hahha!

we are going to make lots of pancakes!!! they asked me what flavour i'll be making...Ahem...You've guessed it! CHOCOLATE PANCAKE! oooohhhh...i told them, my pancake will be mixed with cocoa powder and topped with chocolate syrup and if possible, i'll add chopped bananas or strawberries in the pancake~ how does it sound? delicious? oishi nehhhhh!!!!!

and my housemate says she'll be making pancakes topped with jam or honey~ as for the others, i don't know what they'll be making...depends on creativity...hahha! mine is plain, i know...but i love it~ chocoholic is supposed to add anything with chocolate~

if i am drinking coffee, i'll make mocha out of it~ hohoho! yea, i know u guys probably think i am too much, but you should remember what's my main reason for joining the gym! hehe! i sacrifice for chocolate~

hey, if anyone knows about Chocolate day, please tell me...i'll definitely celebrate it as if it's my 21st birthday~ haha

when bad turn to worse...

yesterday, my flat black-out suddenly...while i was bathing!!! and it only happened to my flat!!! my housemate and i were bathing and suddenly it was pitch-black and the water was freezingly COLD! and the bathroom has no other source of light (eg: window, emergency light etc..)...it was terrible...i have shampoo in my hair (remember i had to attend a birthday party, so my hair is covered with extra extra bubbles) and i am covered with shower gel all over!

at that moment, i had to decide whether to bath in the ice-cold water or just leave it like that...so...my decision is to rinse out the bubbles in my hair...GOD!!! i can feel my scalp frozen!!! argh! so i managed to rinse half of the bubbles out and wrapped myself in huge towel...luckily, the guys next door had electricity supply...both my housemate and i rushed over to their bathroom and continue our shower...EMBARASSING!!! we had to wrap ourselves in towel and walk across the hall...and into the guy's flat...

i thought that nothing worse could happen....but we went for party around 8pm and we stay in the pub till 4am...i was half asleep in the pub...haha! i am really sleepy...and there is a jerk kept on sitting next to me and he was drunk!!! he keep on yapping and i feel like kicking him in the face...i move my ass further and further away, he kept inching closer and closer...darn! just my luck! luckily another guy probably saw my expression and came to my aid...he waved at me and i gladly run towards him!! i thanked him and it didn't end there...that jackass followed me everywhere i went throughout the whole night! i really feel like slapping him so hard that i dislocate his jawbone!

I was really sleepy and i kept on changing my seats due to that jackass following me around...luckily, the DJ of the pub (or owner) saw me running all around the pub and asked me what happen...he offered me a place in the DJ booth...where i can rest...but the bad thing? the booth is on the stage~ everyone can see u napping there...i declined the offer and kept on running in high heels throughout the night...argh! if only i was wearing my trainers!

Okay, could anything worse happen? YES...the birthday girl left without informing us...we left after we couldn't find her...and i had to take care of my drunk housemate...she was drunk to the point that she didn't know what she was doing...she didn't want to get on a taxi and kept running..i had to follow her and take care of her...all the others were drunk as well...they don't know what they were doing...and i had to flag a taxi and pushed them into the taxi...but they still managed to ask the driver to stop at some takeaway....i had to follow them and we ordered some takeaway...(it amazed me how they can be so drunk, yet they know what to order)

Can it be worse that taking care of a bunch of drunkies? YEAH...that jackass came to the takeaway!!!!! his friends, knowing i had been avoiding him whole night, apologise me to...and one of the girls said..

"i don't know you well....but i FEEL for you...we didn't know that you'll be here...or we wouldn't have brought him here..."

hahhhahha! that is the best thing anyone can say to me...i just cant believe my luck!!! he kept on yapping beside me...and he asked me the perfect question...

"do you have a boyfriend?"

A gay friend helped me to order some takeaway and he was passing the food to me at that moment and i answered "YES! him!!"

that jackass's expression is priceless...he said " it can't be, he is GAY...he looked GAY!"

wow! a drunkard still can think! I don't really care anymore and i said.."Well, he looked gay, but he is straight"

that jackass don't believe me and kept on harrassing me! i dragged all my drunkies pack out right after they had taken their food and we left INSTANTLY! that jackass' friends were so happy for me that they kept waving at me~ yea, the best goodbyes i had ever received! (i thought goodbyes are meant to be heart breaking, full of tears...but heck, no!!! not this time!!)

just when i thought i am free of worries.....it gets worse....when i reached home.....the drunkies marched into every room because they need a place to sleep (some of the drunkies were not my flatmates)...i opened my door, not realising they were behind me...and one of them shouted..

"HEY!! this is the cleanest room!!! I wana sleep here tonight!!!"

everyone started to barge into my room and everyone wanted to sleep in my room...i had no choice but to let them sleep in my room, ON THE FLOOR...no worries, mum...i know my limitation~ haha! 1 girl and 2 guys sleep on my bedroom floor...

Can it be worse? YEAH! I had allergic reaction due to alcohol and it was really itchy and i can't really sleep...so i stayed wide awake for the whole night...I dranked 3 neat jack daniels, 1 pear cider (1 pint), 2 malibu coke, 1 sourz shot and a pint of strongbow...(magically, i am not drunk...) umm...i ordered 2 neat jack daniels...and other people bought me the other drinks...

and i just knew today that the jackass stayed RIGHT BELOW my UNIT! damn! can it be worse? ...Connie's bad luck won't end here...i can feel it... STAY TUNE~

ps: i received a lot of compliments and i am really happy... (not trying to show off...but who wouldn't be more than happy to receive compliments?)...but if i were to endure all these troubles before i can receive those compliments, i rather that i didn't receive any compliments...

pps: i would like to thank those few nice guys who rescued me throughout the night..not all are jackasses, but just one jackass can ruin the bunch of Mr. Nices...I am not ready for any relationship stuffs...and i think i can focus on many other aspects of my life...

Mum, thank you for trusting and having faith in me...you knew that i'll be going out without my usual bunch, yet you never questioned me...

Bday...

one of my housemate's bday today...Saturday....and she planned a HUGE bday parrteee...it will start from 8pm tonite till 6am sunday morning...i sure hope it wont be that long...

i am getting OLD~ i don't even have the mood to club (yea, ALL the celebrations are the same...clubbing..and drinking...shesshh..) anyway, i had to drag myself to go...just hope that everything will be fine...I prefer to club with my 'ji mui'....how i miss those keposs....hahha!

i am kinda worried that most of them might end up drunk and i have to carry them upstairs...argh!! worried....really worried...maybe i am thinking too much...but it makes sense when you see them drunk EVERYTIME they come back from club! DOUBLE fingers crossed XX

oh...and i went shopping today...ahhaha! not for clothes...for salmon and some other healthy food~ (food again!!) MUM, just wanna let you know that i had been a good girl...i learned to love Capsicum...IMAGINE THAT AWFUL THING!

i used to pick each of the tiny pieces of capsicum off my pizza slices...now i actually kinda like it... but not true love though...my true love will always be chocolates, chocolate ice cream, muffins, cakes, brownies, fudges,...aaahhh...basically, anything to do with chocolate~

Gonna sleep now...hope that i'll dream of swimming in chocolate ocean~ well, i don't mind if it turned out to be chocolate lake...haha!

stupidity versus selflessness

I feel like such an IDIOT right now....yes..IDIOT....which means someone with EXTREME MENTAL RETARDATION!

Remember in my previous postsssss i had mentioned about helping those barbarians? i thought i'll be happy, but i turned out to be extremely disappointed with them...i helped them because i thought we should help each other and as coursemates, we should 'give and take'...well, more of i am the one giving and they are ROBBING!

yesterday was the deadline for the assignment and they had been calling non-stop till 4pm...i had practical till 1pm which means my phone is silent, of course....so, i didn't know they called me at all...(they didn't turn up for the practical)...after having lunch, around 2pm, i went back to my hostel and i am extremely exhausted due to previous nights of them bothering me! So, i took a nap till 5pm....

I woke up, realising my phone is still remained on silent mode (still in my bag~), i saw a few miss calls....so, i texted those barbarians..

"sorry, i was asleep and didn't realise you called me...Is there anything?"

i forwarded this text to every barbarian who left me miss call....So, as a gesture of politeness or even a common friend would reply something like this..

"nvm, everything is fine now"

Isn't this COMMON and a NORMAL thing to do?? those F**kin barbarians didn't even text me back! and i mean NONE of them texted me back!

I am really PISSED OFF with myself...not at them...if i hadn't help them, i wouldn't feel the way i felt right now! so damn retard! I should have listen to everyone else! i shouldn't even bother about them!

I am advising everyone right now....DON'T BE SO NICE, THEY WON'T APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS! I am someone with extreme mental retardation~ haha~whatever~

Ridiculous!

ENOUGH! I HAD HAD ENOUGH OF RUBBISH QUESTIONS!

I am so SHOCKED when one of the barbarians texted me and said...

"Send me all the data for the laboratory report. Thx"

okay, this is ridiculous! I had emailed all my groupmates the photos for the TLC results...and I am doing it as a favour...it is not MY RESPONSIBILITY to send them anything! What do you think you came here for? make money from Part-timing? and they didn't turn up for today's lecture as well! and had been calling me with different numbers...Bad things just don't end like this...or shall I say, "barbarians never going to give me an easy way out"

the next thing i know, another barbarian asked me another RIDICULOUS question..

"do u know how many flasks we used?"

This is RIDICULOUS! Anyone with eyes will know how many flasks we used! How can anyone ask a question like this??!!! okay, lets ASSUME the barbarian's memory is so bad that he/she can't recall how many flasks we used...another way to know is to look at the data we have! It is so OBVIOUS!!!

I am really SICK of them! If they ask me a hard question, I'll be happy to answer it for them or even try to explain it...but HOW MANY FLASKS WE USED???

not only they didn't bring their brains, they even left their eyes at home i guess...and i am fuming with that particular question....So, excuse me, I would really like to call them RETARDS for once....(Mum, i know it's really mean.....but you don't know how much i had endured...ARGH)

Ps: sorry to call you guys retards, but you left me no choice...

all about complaining..so don't bother to read this...

this piece of blog is specially dedicated to myself....and my barbarians....do not read this blog unless you are too free~

i am going to repeat my complains about my barbaric coursemates again...yep...nothing new, so don't read this...i am MSN-ing with one of them and just after replying tonnes of emails from them! They are getting a bit clever nowadays.....they are planning to ask me to send soft copy of my assignment for 'RESEARCH' aka reference....wor.... I am not so retard to believe it since i had been warned by my senior not to lend anyone your soft copy...she told me these barbarians are not smart enough to take your soft copy as reference...they will press CTRL C and CTRL V...and that's it!!! you will be down graded by a CLASS....and if it's serious, you'll be expelled...

i had been there, done that....my stupidity causes me to lend my work to a friend...and this friend ended up CTRL C & V my stuff! exactly the same thing! and for god sake! how can anyone not know the smart way of copying?? just alter those sentences!

argh...i am not going to let history repeat itself...

I really DON'T understand why those barbarians can't do the things own their own?? my tutor said 'i want you to produce a report which can be published in a journal called Microbiology. Just go to instruction for author and follow the instruction given to produce your own journal.'

Yep...that's the only instruction...so, is it CLEAR enough? just follow the god damn instruction! I'd heard people saying...

'Dumb people follow instruction, and smart people apply their knowledge'

So, they can't follow instruction and WHAT are they? i am so mad!!! they keep on asking me how to calculate this and that! and how should the format be! it's all in the DARN website! just open up your eyes and read it!!!!

i had been bombarded with tonnes of questions about data analysis and they asked me how to write the report?? i am really sorry to say.....but they really asked me a lot of stupid questions...yes, really stupid questions....those questions where you can answer with common sense....

i know teachers always say ' feel free to ask me any questions...there is no such thing as stupid question'

if i ever hear that sentence from any lecturer, i will fish-slap that person! No, no....i think i'll just give his/her number to the barbarians and see if that person will ever utter this sentence ever again! I am pissed off...i am really pissed off today!!!!

i can't even do my assignment due to their problems in understanding the instructions! and i was awaken by my inconsiderate housemates at 3am and i don't have enough sleep! argh!!!

actually, lack of sleep is the main problem for my temper right now...but i still have to deal with the barbarians in a soft and considerate manner...

i promised myself not to blogged about them anymore since i feel kinda bad to be back stabbing them...but i can't help it...argh!!!

okay, i feel better now...and i have to continue replying my emails...

fortune teller....psychic Connie

i am definitely going to put up a stall somewhere by the roadside and start my business as psychic soon! As predicted, those barbarians really started to call me and MSN me as well~ LOL

my prediction is just too accurate~ maybe i should predict my own future...hahha! i still continue my workouts eventhough it was Valentine's day and the fact that i had an assignment due on wednesday....I hope i can finish my assignment on time (which is a MUST) without missing any of my workouts....i am seriously training my time management...

oh...and i still managed to blog!! (yea, i am boastful and a show-off, so what?)...hahhaha! Now, i know my true potential.....known also as 'the POWER WITHIN'.......is to MULTITASK and forsee the future~ (kidding)...but the multitasking is a real thing, you know? hehe! i can eat and talk at the same time...(yuck...not lady-like at all)....umm....i can watch movie and eat at the same time....(everyone can do that)...hmm...i can read and eat at the same time! AHA! not much people can do this...hehe! they'll lose their concentration~

Gosh, whatever i mentioned has food in it, huh? no wonder i am branded as FOODAHOLIC... argh...i better sleep early, coz i'll be working out tomorrow morning! and i still have my assignment...argh!

i love my hectic life right now...i love juggling between my assignments, workouts, movies, cooking and blogging..it made me feel ALIVE....

bachelorette...so WHAT?

okay, i know everyone will be blogging about Valentine's day... and i miss my Valentine's PAIR so much.......haha! yea, it's Valentine's couple...my parents!!!

Who says three is a crowd? I spent most of my valentine's day with my parents....and sometimes with all my single girlfriends.....sounds pathetic? NO! It was fun~ i mean, who can spend valentine's day with their parents and still being so happy about it? ME!

i don't mind anyone staring at me with oddity...just leave them with their SHALLOW mind-set~ for all the singles out there, valentine's day is just another excuse for celebration AND another business-making-day for florist...haha! you can celebrate with all your single friends and still being happy...i don't understand why everyone is sympathising me~

YOU CAN BE HAPPILY SINGLE.. it's a matter of choice anyway...being single can't be that bad, just ask me...haha! if you can't be happy by yourself, it means that your happiness is dependent upon your partner....why should it be that way? shouldn't you be happy even if you are single? this is the main problem...if your happiness if dependent upon someone else, you'll be clinging to that person for happiness....this will cause strain in your relationship and what the guys reasoned as 'no freedom, controlled or possessive-gf '.....when they wanted a break-up~(this can be applied the other way round too~)

so, my conclusion for today is....being a bachelorette isn't that bad...and enjoying singlehood while you can... i wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day...

ps: i don't have much experience about relationship, but judging from all those break ups around me, i guess i did learn a lot...haha!

kaputt~

after the gruelling-6-day-war with my assignments, class attendance and gym workouts, i finally kaputt~ i didn't go for gym today....but i'll continue tomorrow...

i had the worst night yesterday....i tried reading as much journals as possible last night before getting into my assignment...i read as much as 4 journals and my brain couldn't take it anymore...my mind started to wander around...since i couldn't concentrate anymore, i decided to recap the methodology...i have to recall what i did during the practical (which was 5th of december 2008!)...luckily, i managed to recall somethg by reading my previous blog...haha!

i was really tired due to lack of sleep and those workouts...so i went to bed around 12am...(and i have to wake up at 7.30am today)...just when i started to drift off into my dreamland, a thunderous laughter erupted!

i was a quarter awake, a quarter asleep, a quarter shocked and a quarter annoyed...then, i heard happy birthday song from the flat below me...omg...i can't possibly blame someone for celebrating his/her birthday right?...well, they sang karaeok throughout the night and i can't really sleep....i am very sure i drifted in and out of my dreamland and i couldn't differentiate between reality and my dream anymore...(my brain is definitely tired!)

i ended up dreaming (i guess) about the flat below...yep, in the dream (i supposed it was dream) i can still hear that birthday tune again, and i was sleeping, i heard my housemates shouting them to lower down their voice...i heard a lot of arguements which continue until my alarm woke me up...i attended the morning class physically, but i guessed mentally, i am still in my bed...

after the class, i wanted to do some workouts but my mind was too tired...and the weather is not encouraging at ALL! i couldn't even manage to take my lunch and i ended up napping...

i'll definitely hit the gym tomorrow morning....don't worry, i am not addicted to gym...i know some people get addicted to workouts...i am not one of them...i am just a foodaholic trying to eat more by going to the gym~ haha!

still counting~

Still counting what? A lot of stuffs...my assignments, my DEADLINE as the assignments' deadline approaches, my gym-day determination....etc...i am so lazy to even think about the other stuffs...

for my second exam, my lecturer just told just us that we had passed the exam (thank god^^)....

and he wouldn't tell us the marks...he said it is confidential...(i think he is lazy and he haven't calculate it since it includes coursework marks...)

i have another assignment and the deadline is 18th feb....argh...this is a lot harder than the usual ones...the barbarians haven't started to call me YET...since we had just finished one assignment yesterday, they will be taking their day off....hmm...from my prediction, my phone will start ringing by 14th...this reminds me to change my ringtone...since they had been calling me too much for the previous assignment, i got bored of my ringtone...(kinda PETRIFIED to hear their group ringtone)...

i had a lab practical today and i totally messed it up at the end! it wasn't anything serious...i was inocculating the stupid bacteria and i accidentally push the loop too hard into the agar...(guess i didn't know my own strength...haha! maybe it's due to the gym~)..and i have to make another agar in a petri dish and wait for it to settle...argh!! After the agar settled, i asked my other lab partners to inocculate it...(i don't want to take another risk)...and the girl, too, messed up the agar....argh!! we have to re do it for the third time!

i had been to the gym 6 days in a row...actually, i was thinking of skipping it today...since it was raining by the time i finished my class...but, i managed to DRAG myself there~

TOP of the WORLD

NOPE, not on Mount Everest...but feels like i am on it~ hahahha! i am currently the happiest human...umm....nah...happiest organism on earth~

just after my crappy poster presentation (i don't know what i am presenting)....guess what? mine and a few others were retained by the tutors and display for external examiners~ i never thought my crappy stuff would be selected...nevermind, the best part is that, i don't have to take it back...which is a drag...FYI, i was holding it while walking to uni and i didn't realise that half of my poster was slipping out!!! imagine how absent-minded (better word for "CLUMSY") i was!

then, my exam results were out....

*nervous* *gulp*

my frens (non-barbaric) and i went to see the lecturer to get the marks...i was standing far FAR far behind (almost at the doorway)....he was announcing the marks for my frens...when it was my turn, i stopped him...i said...

'umm...can you just tell me if i pass or fail? or my range? if it is bad, i don't want to know..'

he burst out laughing...and said..

'so, i guess i can't tell you your marks then'

*silence*

i can definitely feel the tension~ then he laughed and said 'i am just joking..'

argh! evil lecturer~ but he is the nicest one~ hahhaha! four of us get a good results, and i won't be telling you guys what results i get...

Mum, i'll call you personally to let you know~ shirley, i know you are jealous coz i called mum but not you...but she'll 'kepo' with you about it...hahahha! Got to sign off now, coz i have to hit the gym~

ps: 5 days in a row~ still going strong~ hahhhaha!

sob' sob'

....i am protein deficient, dehydrated and FAT~ hahahha! according to the stupid i-don't-know-what-it-is-called-machine....

that's weird~ i drink a lot of water...and hot chocolates though~ weird~ stupid machine isn't working!! i am very sure of it!! i can't be that fat! damn~ hhahaha! anyway, i am very happy to know that i have baby-FAT (a better way to say 'i am FAT')~ coz this is what i need to motivate me to hit the gym everyday~

yay! hooray~ that trainer even asked me to load on protein whey! yuck! i rejected that suggestion~ i prefer having high 'natural' protein diet~ i am going to pin that body fat percentage on my board right away~ this will encourage me to hit the gym~

ahem...FYI, i had been to the gym 4 days in a row~ haha~ talk about persistent, preseverance, determination, will power that i have~ muahahhaha! i don't know why i am so happy right now eventhough i am FAT (maybe i don't really care that much anymore...)~ hahhhahaa!

opps...i have a presentation tomorrow....which i almost forgot about it~ wish me luck~ my poster is a rubbish~

ironic...

i woke up this morning having muscle aches....especially my shoulders....and guess what? the culprit of my muscle ache is not the gym workout...it's due to carrying shopping bags! argh~

i am lucky that i don't really like shopping...except shopping for food, of course....i won't mind shopping for chocolates too~ i would wander around the town, searching for all types of chocolates...but i wouln't walk that much to find a dress...i find shopping for dresses, or any clothing a pain in the *tut*....yea, i am abnormal~ i know...

but i still love shopping for earrings and necklaces~ and SHOES...arrghhh...i can't continue blogging, my shoulder is killing me! How i wish for a SPA treat right now~ Thai massage would be better! but i wonder if i can stand it...i'd jumped 3 feet high whenever someone touch my shoulder, neck or waist...basically, i cant stand people tickling me...and my best friend always attack me whenever i don't listen to her... Kazak, i am talking about you!!!!!

she sounds devilish to you? Nah....she'll ONLY attack me whenever i bite my nails...or some other bad habits that i have~ oppsss...shouldn't mention about bad habits~ argh~ anyway, i am STILL chewing my nails~

tired~

yesterday, i cleaned the whole flat...the kitchen is a MESS! seems like an aftermath of tornado~ the plates are piling up, so high that it can compete with Eiffel tour..(kidding...exaggerate a lil'...hhaha!) anyway, it is a MESS....due to that XBox...i hate XBox for now...they are gaming with some guys (i don't know any of them)...tortilla chips, salsa sauce, mayo, sour cream are everywhere on the floor!

after the massive cleaning battle, i took a nap~ and i made a DEADLY mistake...i had forgotten to silent my phone! the moment i started to drift into my dreamland, those barbarians started calling~ and i ended up awake~

but i don't really mind, since i got some part of my assignments done~

TODAY:
i just came back from the GYM! my induction day...and i am exhausted....i slept around 2am this morning and woke up around 7am...hit the gym around 8am till 10am (no worries, not working out the entire 2 hours...around 40 mins and for the rest of the time, i don't know what i did~) i went shopping straightaway after workout....

the exhaustion is not due to gym workout...it is due to SHOPPING....i shopped for lots of stuff... (about 7kgs of stuff) and i had to drag it till the top floor...stupid lift is not working...hm... starting to think of it, i never used the lift before...and why am i still piling on weight?

i would love to think it as the weight of the muscles, but reality is harsh...hhahahhah! let's pray that i have the willpower to drag myself to the gym everyday~

entangled emotionally

My EMOTION is seriously entwine causing 'emotional confusion' where I don't even know if i am extremely happy (example: open my room and endless chocolates pour out from the door) or extremely sad (example: gaining extra 20kgs/chocolate extinction)...yea, this is exactly how i feel...both the extreme emotions boiling inside me~ sound kinda serious? nah...not that serious~

i had just learn to live with it~ yep....i had 192 graphs to analyse and those barbarians are not making it any easier for ANYONE! They can label the strips wrongly and I have to guess which is the gene according to each graph...dreadful isn't it? If they had label it ACCORDING to the LAB MANUAL (yea, it is WRITTEN...HOW TO LABEL)...cute aren't they? (i sound sacrastic, but I should be!!!!)

after analysing the stupid graphs for few days and checking all the peaks, i found out that most of the genes they conducted are not working at all~ (even cuter)....the temperatures are supposed to be above 78....but NONE of them got it...and this applied to my non-barbarians coursemates too...(but at least they labelled it correctly! it's may be the DNA problems)...i don't mind if the results turned out wrong, but at least they are not making it harder for me!

and they (barbarians) had been calling me non-stop! yea, i am blogging, my phone is ringing and MSN is nudging as well....(my status is away...)..i know this would happen!! just like the exam period and previous assignments...whenever the deadline is near, MY DEADLINE IS EVEN CLOSER....i don't know what i should do!! i had picked up several calls this afternoon, explaining the same thing...and now, i have to re-explain in MSN...(i am explaining and bloggin at the same time...multitasking...coz the tension from explanation is building up, i need some way to relieve it before i burst...)

and the worse part??...here it comes...

those explanations have nothing to do with my own gene which i am supposed to explain....i am explaining other genes....(meaning: i am doing their parts...) they should really withdraw and i'll put my name on all the certificates...wow! i'll have lotsa MSc certificates~

BUT THEN, WHY AM I SO HAPPY? WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MADE ME SO HAPPY?

1. a call from my mum today, MSN with my cute sisters....

2. My gene is correct...all the temperatures are above 80!! 11 coursemates, and all their DNA using the primers i designed, produced the theoretical results! oh yea~ the only gene with temperature above 78~

I like to talk about unhappy stuff 1st...coz i'll forget about it by the time i talk about happy stuff~ haha! But the phone is still ringing...luckily my ringtone is nice~



Ps: my housemate's bf brought his xbox over....
Sad: means he'll be permanently here?? i am busy with assignments, they are noisy...
Happy: i get to play if i wanted to (but i am stuck here explaining....)

super emo

yea, i don't know why i got super emo tonight... I noticed a lot of girls acting super graceful whenever 'someone' is around....I really hate this type of people (i don't care if you are a guy or a girl)...acting graceful or polite is a big NO-NO! That's why i would like to dedicate this song to all of you out there~ one of my all time favourites~

"What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)"

You don't run with the crowd

You go your own way

You don't play after dark

You light up my day

Got your own kind of style

That sets you apart

Baby, that's why you captured my heart

I know sometimes you feel like you don't fit in

And this world doesn't know what you have within

When I look at you, I see something rare

A rose that can grow anywhere (grow anywhere)

And there's no one I know that can compare

What makes you different, (alright) makes you beautiful (alright)

What's there inside you, (alright) shines through to me

In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need

You're all I need, oh girl

What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me

Hey, yeah yeah yeah

You got something so real

You touched me so deep (touched me so deep)

You see material things

Don't matter to me

So come as you are

You've got nothing to prove

You've won me with all that you do

And I wanna take this chance to say to you

What makes you different, (alright, yeah yeah) makes you beautiful (alright)

What's there inside you, (alright) shines through to me

In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need

You're all I need, oh girl

What makes you different, makes you beautiful

You don't know (you don't know) how you touched my life (touched my life)

Oh in so many ways (so many ways) I just can't describe

You taught me what love is supposed to be

It's all the little things that make you beautiful to me (so beautiful)

Oh yeah, yeah

What makes you,

What makes you different, (what makes) makes you beautiful (to me)

What's there inside you, (there shines) shines through to me

In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need

You're all I need, oh girl

What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me

Everything you do is beautiful (so beautiful)

Love you give shines right through me (shines right through to me)

Everything you do is beautiful (ooh, ooh ooh ooh oh)

Oh, you're beautiful to me (to me)

Do not pretend who you are not, for you are special and unique in your own way...just be yourself and people will love you for who you are~

my first snow experience~

yup~ this is my first snow experience~ (i used to go for those man-made snow...ice-world in Genting)...

i am planning on class-skipping again~ but it would have been better if my M'sian Gang were here....my gang and i used to leave our belongings behind and sneak out of the lecture hall...hahha! i remember Jojo (drive all the way from Cheras), didn't attend ANY classes but picked us up at the back door~ and we headed for breakfast at BRJ....we would stay from 8/9am till 12pm (non-stop chatting...ahem...i mean gossiping)..we would return to retrieve our belongings and head for lunch (continue gossiping)! After a few times of sneaking,our courage accumulated...which means walking out of the lecture hall in front of the lecturer...hahha! i remember Dr.Wong waving at us as we left HIS LECTURE! hahhaha! he is just so cute~ his best quote:

'your attendance has nothing to do with me...it's between you and your God..."

hahhaha! luckily i am a free thinker~ so, not attending classes isn't my problem~ hahaha! okay, thinking back the 'OLD' times really cheered me up...but i have to return to REALITY...

I hate this assignment! i had 192 graphs to interpret! not including making a table out of it and presenting it in poster....where i have to squeeze everything in! AND that lecturer isn't helping at all...i had some enquiries with the data, i waited 2 hours for him! i know i should have made an appointment beforehand, but he should be around~ most lecturers are around!

okay, nevermind, i take it as my fault~ whew~ now, i shouldn't be blogging about this...it should be about my snow experience...

snowing is DEFINITELY better than hailing! being caught in hailstorm isn't fun at all! it was a really painful experience! the HUGE chunks of ice hit your head CONTINOUSLY.....(haha! kidding...not exactly huge...just trying to express how painful it was for me...)....

snowing is fun~ snowing makes everything white~ and it looks fluffy~ as if you can sleep on it~ it would be great if your love ones play snowfight with you~ (avoid playing with random teenagers..they tend to bruise u...hahhaha!)...your love ones wouldn't want to bruise you~ hahahha!

below are some pictures~

looking out from my window~

on the way to my uni~

on the way back to my residence hall~

in my uni campus~ snowing~

Ps: I am trying to rush my assignments, but my friend asked me out for dinner~ argh~ i noticed that whenever i am really busy, people would pop out from nowhere~ talk about bad timing...but i had accepted the invitation~ i CANT resist food, can i? argh!

(no wonder my sisters told me not to be cheated by strangers who lured me with food especially chocolates...i laughed at them when they told me this...but i guessed YOU GUYS are the ones laughing now!)

living dead...

yea, i looked like a Living Dead right now....i hate this assignments so much!!! but i have to do it, ortherwise, i'll be DEAD-MEAT.....

i wished for a spa-treat right now~ AAaaahhhhh~ imagining a spa day makes me happy... anyway, i am really busy with my assignments and i didn't even chat or reply any MSN messages....but one person lured me away from my desk...yea, a friend of mine...

around 6pm yesterday, my friend MSN me, asking if i would like to pop over for 'BAK KUT TEH'...argh...i rejected for a few times, but gave in at last...(Foodaholic can't say no to food too many times...it's a torture~) i LOVE bak kut teh, especially in this cold weather~ so, i marched to a nearby shop to buy some desserts (Mum, you taught me not to visit people empty handed...)...so, i popped over and we had the best bak kut teh~

We ended up chatting about Final Fantasy and playing Xbox..hahhaa! (i convinced myself to relax before preparing another assignment war today..) After gaming for a while, we decided to watch HORROR movie (i just love horror movie...but i am scared as well...this is the perfect example of 'i hate you, but i love you')... That Thai horror movie (The Coffin- starred by karen mok) sux....it wasn't scary at all...Shutter is still my all time favourite..

by the time i finished that crappy movie, it was 5am...i walked back to my hostel alone (yea, so that proves that the movie isn't scary at ALL....) my friend did offer to walk me to my hostel or stay over for the night...but i insist of going back by myself~ (yea, my dad disliked girls to stay out~)

i was walking down my unit's corridor when one of my housemates opened her door and saw me...she screamed like hell~ (WWWaaaaaaaaa!!! JESUS!).....i looked at her and she stared at me...speechless....(my thought: AM I THAT SCARY? I AM THE ONE WATCHING HORROR MOVIE, NOT HER..SHOULDN'T IT BE THE OTHER WAY ROUND?)....I loved her reaction and the first thing she said to me...

'Connie, you didn't make a sound when you came in! you scared me~ hahha!'

umm....it's 5am in the morning, am i supposed to make noise? the moment i reached my room, i stared in the mirror....i do looked like LIVING DEAD! no wonder she looked petrified~hahha! my face is pale, dark eye circles, and moody face....i am really lucky that i didn't scared myself to death every morning i look in the mirror~ hahha!

i should finish these assignments ASAP...or i'll scared the hell outta anyone~
