the mid-semester tests are starting to roll into my schedule!!! and to think that i've only mindlessly copied notes so far in lectures, i'm surely to get many hard-boiled eggs (0o0o) in my results!!! i just had the dna recombinant technology test, and honestly, it was pretty straight forward... but as usual, i didn't study the important stuff and so the whole piece of question sheet was filled with guesses and crap info. i'll be having my lab written test later... and we do not have any references to study... the manual is way too brief to answer any questions unless the lecturer asks us to write out the experimental method... then there'll be a biochemistry analysis test next friday and the proteins and enzymes test the following week!!! really need to buck up for that...
so lately, what have i been doing? i managed to secure 2 appointments from the marketing calls i did for my aiesec exchange team. however, we had to give up the 1st appointment to another team because none of us (actually those who actually care to do marketing calls) could make it (the sleeping members didn't even reply to our plee for help...). i went for the 2nd appointment with terence. it was at plaza mont kiara. i don't know why i got tongue tied there and now, everytime i call the hr manager, i'm struggling for my words... but anyway, the outcome of that case is still unknown (although i think it's already a "no", since i called him the other day and he said his boss is very busy and he'll get back to me if there's a need to).
now i still have about 10 companies to call... i stopped calling after i secured 2 appointments from the 1st 11 companies i called. i feel very burdened by this task because not everyone is doing it... and so if i finish my list now, they'll probably heap more contacts on me to call... that's what i think will happen... it still really puzzles me how some people can get away with doing nothing (and i really mean DOING NOTHING... not even answering sms messages!) or pretending to appear busy!!! again, the answer to this dilemma is (as countless times i've said on this blog), life's like that... the watchers disguising to be workers!

Bliss is short-lived and Worries abound!
today's my 3rd day back in uni. i've had alot of running around, waiting and worrying to do. and also turns out my timetable isn't that perfect after all... i had to make some changes... but i was lucky to get what i wanted although i had to drop some other subjects and as a result i can only take 18 credit hours. since there's no 1 credit hour paper and also the application date for extra credit hours has expired, i can't do anything about that... i think i'll just have to console myself with the fact that i've to take at least 20 credit hours for the next 3 semesters...

Weird...
went to BY house yesterday morning and we tried to watch moonchild on her laptop and it just couldn't play the vcds! she had watched it before on her laptop but suddenly the windows media player wouldn't play the file and at times did not even register a disk in the drive!!! i think computers are in fact allergic to me... i'm not so allergic to computers nowadays but the reverse situation seem to be happening often... i had a hard time trying to burn some discs a couple of days ago too... ended up burning the discs using both my laptop and the old almost dead desktop... for some reason (i think it's the spyware), the internet explorer window kept popping up when there was no adsl modem or telephone cable plugged into the desktop... but in the end the desktop ended up having a higher yield of burnt discs than my laptop...
i just tried out some questionnaire chinese horoscope thingy on my friendster bulletin board and the results were so funny (and not freakishly true as the header suggested)... it's those kind of stuff where you create a list and then fill in certain details at the different numerals of the list... i nearly choked when they interpreted the answers... it was really nonsense well except for one part about the person who knows me the most (or was it the other way around)... it seems my lucky number is 3... and the song put your records on best describes me... and my outlook on life is like the song it's all for you ... i don't think it applies with me!
i'm now in a frenzy with watching my name is kim sam soon on youtube.com... but the problem is that the videos can't fully load up no matter if i tried to refresh the page or view it on another day... i wonder why? my comp? or uploading problems... anyway, i think i found another alternative... but it's rather troublesome and the wait is longer but there are subtitles and clearer images... however i think i need to clear my hard drive soon... my comp is starting to slow down... started by burning out all the aiesec and uni stuff and deleting most of them. next will be burning out all the camera pictures and video recordings of zacko the wacko blackie dog... there's really too much stuff of him on my comp... i think he's had more photos taken than even my late dolly girl... but that's probably because we did not have the recording gadgets we have today... taking pictures back then was done by film and the canon slr camera is just a tad too bulky to be brought discretely to places.
BY and i went to SY home to help her paint the props for aiesec upm's miracle global village. then SY lent us some korean and japanese drama series... she really has a good collection and they're all original too!!! i don't know how i'm going to adapt back to uni life with all these new addictions resurfacing!!! hahaha... hopefully i'll get to improve my japanese from the drama...

In this unfair world...
animals are not humans and humans are not animals. one isn't the other and vice versa. however animals still are living things and no matter what you may argue, they are apart of a God's creation. and we as Man, as thinking and of higher intelligence beings, should not stoop so low as to bully and deprive these defenceless creatures! we are always spouting and fighting for human rights but what about these creatures who don't have the ability to communicate legibly with us to claim their rights? unlike us, they can't be educated about their rights and even if we tried, they wouldn't be able to comprehend what we were trying to tell them. so by right, it is our responsibility to care of them and ensure their well being (although you may not be an animal lover).
why should we do this? each and every one of us (be they animal, plant or human) are apart of earth's ecosystem and a degradation in a particular sector would mean the fragile equilibrium of our ecosystem would be altered. hence causing many violent and sudden changes in climate and patterns of natural disasters. the predictable will become unpredictable. the unexpected will happen.
furthermore, the extinction of a species would mean the variability of earth's gene pool would significantly decrease. what does that have to do with us? with all the domestication and commercialism in the farming industry, without the wild genes from uncultivated wild plants/animals, our sources of food wouldn't be able to fend for themselves when an ecological change happens. that would snowball into famine and eventual extinction of humankind.
is this what we really want? even with a step-up in educating the people around the world about this issue, the problem still persists. why? man is still man. with our indestructible ego and self-centered quality inborn in us. although not all man are as said above, however the majority are. why do we always have to learn things the hard way?
veering away from the above topic, it's such a horrible thing to witness people polluting our land and acting cruelly to animals. i can't believe open burning is still actually illegally practiced here. my own neighbours do it... do they think it's still some kampung area where they can burn their rubbish in front of their gates and leave it to itself? what is so wrong about letting the garbage collector collect your rubbish? is there some incriminating evidence that they're trying to hide from the public? i don't think that's likely. they probably think they're helping the government to get rid of rubbish or probably they're pyromaniacs! i was sickened to see 2 different open burning sites on the way back from singapore to kl. as if our weather is not hot and hazy enough, these people who live in the countryside must add to our dilemma.
another issue is the deliberate act of cruelty to animals. it's so sickening to see your own neighbours beating dogs with sticks whenever the poor creatures crosses in front of their house gate. also, kids shouting insults and obscenities at other people's pets (within the owner's compound) is becoming a norm. what kind of parents raised these kids? just because you can't touch (or bond with) these animals doesn't mean they are filthy and deserve death. there shouldn't be a class segregation/double standard between cats and dogs.
with the recent news of the dog catchers shooting half of the 2 dozen or so dogs that a man kept in his house is just disgusting! yes, the man was in the wrong but was killing 11 dogs the solution? a more humane action could have been carried out in place of those canine murders, such as getting the spca or paws to take the dogs away to a shelter or giving the man a fine or something heavier. but killing the innocent dogs who don't know that they are in fact illegal or even understand the concept of law and rules is the easy and cowardice way out of the matter. both parties are in the wrong but the severity of the wrongdoing of the authorities outweighs that of the dogs' owner! how could they make such a rash move? did not they think of the repercussions that would occur? i.e. severely hurting a man emotionally (since all the dogs were his pets... and all animal lovers will be able to identify with pets being part of one's family), exposing the fact that they still think like barbarians and also staining their image with acts of animal cruelty (which is a big NO NO if they want to appear favourable in the eyes of the public)
in desperation the man tried to save the rest of his dogs by rushing them away in his car and in the process accidentally knocking the authorities' vehicle. now they are trying to use that as an excuse to cover their asses. do they think that their wrongdoings can be neutralised by charging the man for that accident? well, this can only happen in our unfair world that we live in!
just a thought: would the same punishments be implemented if the case above had involved cats (instead of dogs)?

A makeover all of a sudden!
mum and i were looking for a present in midvalley megamall yesterday and since the gift was rm170, we could have a makeover and photo taken! so mum forced me to do it! i was so malu-fied because the makeup (by givenchy), hair dressing (by loreal and some hair dressing shop) and photo taking booth was in the concorse area where there was high traffic of people! so basically everyone gawked at those doing the makeover!!! i was so embarrased!!! especially when taking the photos!!!
the photos turned out ok... but personally i think it makes me look very chinese-ey (lala, ah lian etc.... hope you get what i mean!) i think it's the eye makeup (which was very light and pinkish highlights at the edge of my eyes) and the hairstyle (half head curls with fringe pulled back) ... but anyway, now mum can't bug me too much anymore... although she's already planning a 2nd one with straight hair this time!!
i think i won't upload the photos here... i'll only show it to close friends!! ;-P

5 hours in a noisy bus and a mind-boggling japanese class!
we left singapore at 11.30a.m. on thursday and had a 5-hour bus ride with a whole bunch of noisy "american" indians!!! luckily i had my headphones with me, and since its really ear buds it served as a pair of effective ear plugs for me... so i wasn't really bothered about the nooise. however, it was such a relieve to realise we were getting closer to home. i'd watch out for the sign boards and seeing kuala lumpur 86km (not sure if the numbers are right) in white big letters on a green board made me happy! although i must say that the difference between singapore and malaysia is big... especially when we crossed the international border, the toilets in johor were horrible! i can't imagine what the tourists would think... but then again that was johor (and some outskirt-ish place)... i'm pretty sure the toilets in kuala lumpur are much more acceptable. anyway, it's so nice to be back here where you don't need to think twice or mentally convert into RM whatever you wish to purchase.
when we reached our destination, it was 4.30p.m. sharp! i really am impressed with the punctuality of the bus (since it's a well known fact that malaysians are ALWAYS late!!!). anyway, ah yee's driver was there waiting for us and i had barely placed our bags down after collecting it from under the bus when he swiped them up! i was actually in a daze... and slightly confused!!! hahaha... jakun!
mum came at about 5.20p.m. and we rushed off for my japanese class... and since BY was planning to change classes today, i followed her to the jskl av room... and also ended up changing class to class A. this class had tables but no piano and they learnt at a fast pace... i'm still quite blur about the things we learnt. we learnt numbers and days of the week and some simple conversations. and also played a game where we would pass the baton to another person while saying the days in japanese. this class is quite fun because the people are more noisy/energetic and probably also because they were mostly working people. although the other class had very cute (as in character) instructers but the participants of the class was mainly made out of housewives and students (who i think are younger than us).
i hope i'll learn more in this new class and most importantly be able to follow what's going on in class!!!

Last night in the lion city
today we went on a cruise and landed on kusu island. took some photos. getting to harbour front was abit tricky at first. but we managed to reach there just in time. the cruise was ok
went for our last shopping in orchard road... bought a guess bag for mum, some wasabi nuts for papa but couldn't find the dvd LK wanted (rush 30th anniversary). we went to borders and that cd shop but couldn't find it... and it was already 10p.m. something.
i really wanted to see books kinokuniya but unfortunately i didn't get to enter that shop! speaking about that, i don't know what happened to the japanese book details that i keyed into my phone for papa... i think i accidentally erased it! so dumb of me!
ok i think i had better sleep now... i need to wake up early for the preparation to go home!
this here is a nice lantern fish in front of a vietnamese restaurant in wisma atria (nice looking place!)

Post from Singapore
i'm here in singapore! staying at relc international hotel on orange grove road. the room's a good bargain although it's not the conventional hotel. why? because it's actually a language centre and also houses a church and other companies/ngo. there were ielts exams going on on our floor when we arrived. there's a tour trolley bus which acts as a complimentary one way shuttle service... very ancient but efficient! hahaha
we've walked much of orchard road... the atria, far east plaza, lucky plaza, tangs, takashimaya(ngee ann city), paragon, wheelock place... and also marina square, suntec city mall (i like this place best), citylink mall. so far i've bought a white pvc bag, an mng shirt and a pair of lavender adidas sneakers.
we walk to and from orchard road, which takes about 7 minutes one way. and now, my legs are killing me after a whole day of walking and standing around. we got abit lost in suntec city mall today. but can't really blame us because the shops in all the malls are about the same although the malls might be next to each other!
ok i think that's all for now. i'm using the free wireless service now but it's getting late and i have to sleep. i will try to post more after the trip!

Addiction!
oh no! i've just found the joy of youtube.com! yes, i know i'm a little behind in the latest trends and stuff... but i didn't want to try it out before this because i thought there were some unappropriate stuff there and i'd get addicted... well, now i'm addicted, but to korean dramas! some people actually uploaded the full episodes of the dramas... but not all the episodes though...
i just printed out some singapore maps... and got electrocuted (mildly) by the usb cable... because the power was still on although the printer was switched off... still can feel the tinggly sensation at my finger tips! this is the second time i've been electrocuted while using the printer! the first time, i think one of the printer cables was not grounded properly and the metal casing of my laptop conducted the electricity... as a result when i touched my laptop, i got electrocuted! i don't know whether this is a normal thing or something that is actually dangerous...
anyway, i'm waiting for the 1st episode of snow white (K-drama) to load... watched the first 3 episodes of another drama called 1% of something. i hope i'll be able to watch the rest someday... coz the other episodes are not on youtube. ok, that's all for now... hope i'll be able to post from singapore...

I'll be in Singapore in 2 days time!
ah yee and i are going to singapore for 4 days 3 nights. we're leaving at 7.30a.m. on monday and leaving singapore on thursday at 11.30a.m. i had to find a hotel for us... and honestly, now that i've reevaluated my choice, i think i made a mistake... but it's too late to make ammends because the booking has been done and ah yee's credit card is in stake... so i guess we'll just have to carry on with the idea. the reason i think it's a mistake is because the hotel is quite far from orchard road... but the consolation is that it looks quite ok from the pictures and had recently been renovated... and also it has wireless internet access in the room. so i think i will bring my laptop there... if my parents think it's a good idea.
i still haven't converted my currency... somehow, nowadays packing and preparing don't seem to be a worry for me anymore... it's the people around me that get into such a fuss over it! funny! but it's because they care... and that's a good thing!
i just finished watching the korean drama Goong that ML lent me... it's nice! although episode 23 is missing!!! that's the 2nd last episode and it's kind of frustrating to not know the connection between the climax and the ending! but for now, imagination will have to suffice... i think i'll get a copy of this drama and try to find the 23rd episode somehow... i noticed i'm kind of obsessive when it comes to completing/collecting things. bad habit! it's been so with collecting books by roald dahl, l.m.montgomery, jane austen (movie versions too), cynthia voigt and also collecting stationaries and how can i forget the mcdonald's sesame street plushies! and in a way, i was a little obsessive about the sony ericsson w800i when it came out and the next thing i knew, i had won it!!! weird! got to shed that!!! that was abit freaky!
oh anyway, now i'm addicted to listening to i've got you by mcfly and jack johnson songs and also the theme song for sue thomas: F.B.Eye which is That's Who I Am by jessica andrews and it's all for you by sister hazel. i don't know why but some songs just stick in my head... and other people don't think much about these songs! i think it's some magic chord sequence that just clicks with some part of my brain that's connected with affinity!
i've been trying to learn how to write hiragana and after about 2 days of practising (not continuously of course) i can say that i can remember quite well the characters from a i u e o till ta chi tsu te to and the rest of the characters i only can remember when there's some sort of prompting... what can i say? i'm a slow learner when it comes to language... i think that's the case for me when it involves studying using a book. i feel that i learn better when the learning process involves working with my hands and room for trial and error... for example art and crafts, fixing mechanical stuff, fixing broken links on (other people's) websites, figuring out how an object is made by looking at it... which reminds me that my goal to learn flash on my own has totally gone down the drain... i think i should just uninstall that on my laptop and free up space for other stuff... or maybe i should try to get a book first... that doesn't seem promising though! hahaha
hmm... seem to be in a good mood today... :-)
