lagging...

again... this blog is starting to lag... i don't really know why... just getting lazy i guess. funny thing... i was reading some blogs of people whom i know in uni (but not very well...) and i thought to myself, does my blog sound like that too? personally, i think it does at times... kakakaa... so boring... but hey, i'm not some kind of interesting or hot babe person, so i doesn't really matter i guess...

i find that when i read blogs of people i know, i can actually visualize or rather, hear, how they are dictating their entries! is it just me, or i'm getting over-imaginative?? they actually blog with colloquial english (with their personal slang... or whatever you call it) and i guess that's what makes their entris so... LIKE them! i think i do that sometimes, but for me i find that whenever i start writing something that's going to be permanent or important, i try to write it in the best english i can muster (which is why u see kindergarten english here, always! hehe). however the story's different when i'm chatting. if you chat with proper english you'll end up sounding so stuffed up...

somehow, i think (and this is my personal views which i do not intend to impose on anyone) that english should be used properly in cases where someone may form an opinion of you by reading what you have written. for that matter, any language should be used correctly so that the reader will have a certain level of respect for you and no miscommunication occurs. (this sounds so familiar... i think i've blogged about this before...) anyway, this is my opinion because i treasure english and seeing it misused makes me sad. after all, its use projects our (as malaysians) level of proficiency in the language and most malaysians have had the privilege of learning english in school since primary (the quality of the subjuct's teaching and importance stressed on this subject by the school is a different story) and i don't see why we can't use it as best as we can without mixing other languages into it etc.

My blog died for a few months!!!!

so finally my finals have finished. i feel abit strange since i'd just finished my exams right before the break and so i have suddenly plunged into a state of idleness after rigorous studying! i always get this feeling after tests/exams. it feels like there's some emptiness in me and suddenly i have no direction... i think alot of people feel that way too.

so what has been happening for the fast 3 months? alot actually, but i can't remember everything and i'm having flu now, so it's just too painful to do serious thinking.

i managed to secure a placement for my industrial training in march... but the problem is its a small lab and i think the lady boss is expecting me to do r&d on my own... so i think i'll try applying to other companies... i hope i can...

my exams were terrible... the only paper that feels ok to me was the biochemistry analysis, the rest... i have a bad feeling about them all!!! i don't think there'll be any A's this time around... i think i'm getting dumber... or i'm just losing my focus too often... well whatever the cause, what's done is done.

ok, i think i'll just post up this redundant post just to jumpstart this blog in the hopes of igniting the interest to blog in me again... as i'll be quite free until december 26th.

goodbye, for now... more will be coming soon (i hope)
