My Gmail isn't working...

Fantastic, reason to not reply emails and to only attend to them tomorrow!

Shall I call it a day? :)

I have been eating so much it is not funny anymore! I have no intentions of standing on the scale either.

Must. Go. Gym. Lah. Ai Li Ng! Musttttt! Okay, will go next week. XD

My room smells like Sharon's car. Mushy. It's like the pillows got soaked with water and didn't have the chance to dry under the sun properly. =/

The mom came in and asked, "Why does your room smell of cigarettes?"

Hahahaha..

I should have answered, "Stress ah, so I started smoking!"

Okay, not funny. But I wonder what would have her reaction have been.

Yays, the brother is coming home for Christmas...

with my new lappie! XD

Blister and color pencils.

Not emo, just really tired.

I am dead tired... Like really tired, totally drained tired.

My thumb is freaking sore from the damn blister I got from sharpening 36 color pencils. Crap. The color pencils were totally useless during the workshop today. I suspect it is because they have not been used for too long.

I have no idea what I was thinking. There wasn't even a reason to sharpen them for I won't be using them till God knows when. And despite all that I have to do, I went and sharpen 36 freaking useless color pencils...

That, my friends, is a typical moment whereby the word 'stupid' is warranted.

Now my thumb freaking hurts. And I am tired.

My internet connection is totally sucky tonight, wonder if I'll even manage to post this up.

I've got a lot to do tonight. A lot. And I am really tired.

The Choleric / Sanguine

An exact copy paste from catholicmatch. Not assignment, no Turnitin! :D

The choleric-sanguine is a blending of the two extroverted temperaments and will be somewhat less extraverted than the sanguine-choleric, because the choleric’s extraversion often takes a back-seat to his goal-oriented behavior. Nonetheless, this temperament combination is second only to the sanguine-choleric in terms of being outgoing and people-oriented. This temperament mix tends to give rise to an enthusiastic, motivational, and highly driven leader (choleric) whose social skills and interest in other people (sanguine nature) make him less dictatorial and capable of some flexibility. He will value relationships more than a pure choleric, and will show greater compassion in dealing with people, will be less controlling than the pure choleric, and will be more willing to take time out to relax and enjoy himself.

If you are a choleric-sanguine, you will find that you have a great amount of energy and inspiration for initiating projects and can be highly focused on task completion as well. Although you tend to be very objective, pragmatic, and logical -- and may sometimes find yourself stepping on toes in the process of accomplishing the task at hand -- you will also have the interpersonal skills needed to resolve conflict and to help people work together and get along with one another. The creativity and sensitivity of your sanguine nature will enable you to be flexible when the situation calls for it, and less demanding and harsh than a pure choleric would tend to be. You are likely an energetic leader or manager, with superb debating skills: firmly convinced that you are right, you also have the “people-skills” necessary to convince others as well!

Without strong formation and a deep spiritual life, however, your temperament’s weaknesses will be intensified. Without attention to self-formation you may find yourself quickly aroused to anger, yet also unforgiving. You can be impatient with others and overly opinionated. You may speak frankly or impulsively without regard for others’ feelings. You should take care that you become neither a workaholic nor driven by your passions. You may insist on having your own way, and become angered, blame others, or make excuses when corrected. But, once you become aware of the weaknesses of your nature, and make a commitment to self-improvement, you will be able to be equally determined in pursuing self-formation.

Ahhhhhhh!!

Ploop!

Before you start laughing, it isn't me lah okay!

Today, I accidentally dropped a winch handle into the very murky waters of Port Klang. Second day of trimming and already guilty of such an offence.. =/

But accidents happen lah right? Sometimes.

Haha!

Friend. Kawan..

朋友. vriend. ami. Freund. φίλος. amico. 友人.
친구. amigo. друг. amigo.
- credits to Babel Fish for translation.

It's good to know you have them to fall on, to count upon, to trust.
It's good to know that you are never alone no matter how lonely it gets.

It's good to know that you'll always be loved,
It's good to know that you'll always be remembered.

It's good to know that they will always be there, watching your back, making sure you're on the right track.

It's good to know you can always depend on them when the going gets rough,
It's good to know they'll stick by you through thick and thin.

It's good to know you'll always have a shoulder to cry on,
It's good to know you have people to shed those tears of joy with.

It's good to know they'll be nice to you,
It's good to know they'll be the first to tell you if you look horrible in that outfit.

It's good to know they will share their good and bad,
It's good to know they accept you for who you are.

It is good to know all these.
But best of all...

It is best to have them, these wonderful people we call FRIENDS!


Cherish I shall. Love I will. Treasure I must.

P/s: Since friends are so awesome and wonderful and amazing, I hope they won't screw me tomorrow later for not going prepared for meeting lah.

Only kidding. :D Love!

If only humans could hibernate too!

Today, we were talking about 'what one should and should not post online' in the case that our future employer(s) were to come across some not-so-amusing stuff whether on Facebook or blogs or what not lah! Janji anything accessible with the click of the mouse, you better be extra cautious.

This is one of those posts that I hope they will never see in their lifetime because I am gonna complain about work but I am going to post it anyway.

I HATE WORK!

DON'T MAKE ME DO WORK!

I WILL HATE U FOR LIFE!

Period.

I am so sleepy. Was sleepy, still am sleepy. Tired like mad.

And I've got research to do- for IO, for Human Mo, data to collect, books to read, toilet to clean, SPSS to go figure, nails to clean & cut because cannot afford pedi, journals to write, decisions to make, meetings to attend... (okay, I am just whining and stating everything possible under the sky which I need to get done but it is true that I have got tonnes to do).

.... stupid Astro service center *curse curse curse*

Okay. Negative energy ends here. I hope..

Ironic lorh.

Today, I woke up with a conflicting mind. :(

Half of me was saying, "Let's kick some butts this semester!"

The other half of me was craving to go on a holiday.

How lah like that?! =/

Tuesday, September 22

I'm back..

*updated

from 4 awesome possum days in Camerons, despite the fact that I confirm put on weight. Looks like it is back to school for now with tonnes of work to be done through out the semester.

Thesis I results are out. I am pretty much satisfied. Thesis II to battle with now. Data collection is still in its preliminary stages, hope it goes well lah.

Reminder to self: Need to install SPSS asap.

Now I am wondering if KL weather has always been this hot?! =/

~

This should ideally be a new post except that I can't think of an appropriate title for it so, bah..

Who needs those RM100 facials when a clean face with soft and smooth skin can be achieved with an apricot scrub (removes dead skin cells), tissue paper (squeeze black heads), toner (minimize pores), pre-packed facial masks (moisturise) which in total will only cost me less than a fraction of the price?!

Something stinks outside my room. Source undetected. =/

极端困

'extremely sleepy'

好。 我得到去准备好阵营! 在星期一,将回来! 直到然后。

* In the case you can't read Chinese!

Okay. I got to go get ready for camp! Will be back on Monday! Till then.

Yahoo! Babel Fish is fun! :D Byes!

Hurmmmm

THANK U MIKE WAN!

For helping me reformat my lappie!

And THANK YOU JEFF GAN!

For the CD which I have totally no clue if Mike used or not. But regardless, thanks anyways for letting me have it first! ^_^

The mom and the lil bro are now in China.. Vacationing. And I am headed for Cameron in less than 24 hours from now for camp.

And I so need to pack. But lazy sungguh.

Today, I spent a good 5 hours walking the streets boutiques of Telawi with the high schools girl friends, the very same bunch that went for Krabi last month. :)

The best part is, I did not spend a single cent on shopping!

Fuh! I consider myself super successful basing on the fact that I did not succumb to temptation within that 5 hours. It was still fun nevertheless, my wallet also sihat walafiat (not taking into consideration the 9 bucks I had to pay for the ridiculous parking cause I was late for my 9am class this morning).

Anyways.

Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays to all! :D

Terpaksa! :(

Aku.... terpaksa download / install MSN yg baru.

Tak nak pun tak boleh. Sebab dia org tak bagi aku sign in kalau I tak install yang baru itu punya. Sedih aku.

Tapi. Takpe lah. Dah cukup masa kena up standard. Bye bye good old MSN.

On a more happy note....

Career guidance class was refreshing! Or at least I think so. I is type R! Jenis prone to obesity, jenis yang memerlukan ego boost, jenis... I can't remember already.

But it was fun lah! Wee.

"If you want to have a party, make sure you have Type R's, otherwise you'll have a dead party."

So you know what you need to do when u have a party lah har! :D

Looks like my Windows Installer is 'out of date'.

Hurrrr.... why like that one!?

What 'genre' is today?




Today is one of those I don't feel like doing anything at all day!
For me lah..


But I hope it changes soon cause I've got tonnes of things to do!

Boo :'(



I wanna go travel, I wanna go holiday also!

A Fine Frenzy

Blow Away



Sounds nice, but I have yet to get the lyrics... Enjoy!

one of us is gonna be here and
one of us is gonna be running
off alone into the great unknown
you're not me, you're a model of freedom
all you need are your kicks when you need 'em
come and go, caught that slow alright

with one hand off the side
we get farther away in the blink of an eye

and it's the time we waste
swallowed into space
it's the time it takes to blow away
to blow away

hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
say what you want, what you say, say anything
no one knows just how deep it goes
we are old in your teenaged tyranny
and all you need is a hunger to feed
i've got my own secrets though, say what?

with a heart full of mess and lore
we are doomed but we wanted more

it's the ride we take
the many winged escape
it's the bough we break to blow away
and we blow away

one of us is now retreating
you knocked me down so hard i'm seeing a thousand stars
come out where you are
'cause i won't ever be caught crying
and i will not be taken lying down
it blows into smoke

the time we waste
swallowed into space
it's the time it takes to blow
it's the ride we take

the many winged escape
it's the bough we break to blow away
it's the times we say that no one's gonna take your place
it's a mistake to blow away
we blow away

Senget?

I am wondering why all my printing all come out senget.

Initially I thought it was my home printer.

But when I compared those I printed at home to those printed elsewhere, also senget!

How come like that one leh??

So weird one.

Research participants are just going to have to deal with a senget looking questionnaire lah...

Numbered Post

  1. Never ever delete your sent mail archive in Gmail. Brrr. Giving me a headache, ini tak jumpa, itu tak jumpa. Adui. Itchy fingers. Bad bad.

  2. Wee! The doctor says I am fine! Just a sore throat taking longer than usual to get well. Am on antibiotics which are pink in color and a pretty awesome tasting cough syrup. :)

  3. I think this might really be it. The end. Sighs!

  4. The thing about "I will get her to call you back" annoys me to no ends. Because I wait for the call the entire day but never get it. How to settle my stuff like that lah you tell me?! So effing frustrating the way HELP's registry buat kerja.

  5. Dinner was satisfying, I find it hilarous how almost the whole table said, "No you sick cannot eat Ham Yu Chao Fan (salted fish fried rice)", I feel looooooved. <3

    At least can lah say, my 090909 dinner was spent with part of the uni gang. Not so menyedihkan.. :P

  6. Although my bean jar is the smallest of all, it is still pretty and I really like it! Thank you lah... <3 It's now on display in my room.

  7. Hehe! Sick also got benefit geh it seems. Mom just gave me some propolis honey to drink every morning.

  8. I want to get a new phoneeeee! But I lazy to do market research! I am a technology noob, handphones to me are strictly for sms-ing and making phone calls ONLY. Camera and music player are add ons I do not mind but no thank you to those super canggih-fied touch screen ones that function like a mini computer.

    Actually... super canggih ones also I don't really mind lah. But I scared I tak erti guna nanti. -_-

  9. A lot of my things seem to be missing. Ie, my nose hair trimmer or whatever it is called, my super fine paintbrush which I bought to do some simple nail art when I am bored. I wonder if I've misplaced them or have they just grown legs of their own.

    Paintbrush missing nevermind, the nose hair trimmer I want it now now now! Not cheap okay! Gr.

  10. This is the second time I am hearing "... party in the USA" by Miley in the past, what?! 10 mins. What is wrong yo radio stations?! Ah, "Good girls go bad" by Cobra Starship ft Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester is addictive though..

  11. Okay bye.

Be happy! :)

Just a while ago, I was angry, insecure, shocked, upset, scared, furious.. pretty much all the negative emotions all mixed together lah. I don't want to go into details and tell you why but my point is, the feeling was overwhelming..

Tears were streaming from my eyes and I slammed my laptop lid shut because I just didn't know how to handle talking to anyone for that matter at that moment.

I took a quick shower and told myself repeatedly to calm down and take it easy, that things can't be so bad.

Well, guess self talk works because I am now sitting in front of my lappie and typing this. You should try it too!

Of being random and since it so coincidentally ties in with today's post. Yesterday I wrote in my to do list, "Be happy". It's item number 8.

While I don't know whether it was really the effect of it being on the to do list or whether I was just feeling happy yesterday, I did have a good night. So I am planning to have that- "Be happy" on my to do list everyday from today onwards.

So... of being happy. I was cleaning my inbox(es) and came across this!

Conversations with the Brother.

Sharing is caring mah right? "Be happy!" :)

Recovering

The workload is increasing day by day. I am planning to start working soon? Maybe, perhaps. Just.. not yet. Not now. Not tonight.

Hahaha.

Okay. So I am in a lighter mood tonight. Maybe it is because I can finally talk as much as I want without coughing at the end of each sentence. Hopefully sleep will come naturally tonight too. Without me having to hold my breath every single time the throat feels like coughing.

It is A LOT of effort I tell u. To stop yourself from coughing.

Anyhow. Thank you for all the well wishes. I am feeling better already. So thanks.

On a slightly more serious note. A lot of decisions to make and plans to execute in the coming months.

I super don't like.

Saturday, September 5

Urghhh. Crap.

Initially, the title was going to be Blaaardy Hell. Trust me, I am THAT annoyed for not being able to fall asleep despite my best efforts to stay off coffee the entire day, even when the best friend said that she's going to make herself a cup when we were chatting on msn earlier I did not budge from my seat one bit. The uni workload has not even begin and I am already going to be sleep deprived. What crap.

The moment my head hits the pillow and [I count silently in my heart]1, 2, 3, 4, 5... I start coughing like mad. Really, like mad. So what do I do? I sit up, drink water, lie down again. And this goes on repeat until my pundi kencing can no longer takung the amount of water, then I crawl out of bed to go pee. And then it continues lah this stupid torturous cycle.

I've tried forcing myself to not cough and just sleep. But obviously, it does not work. I've been to the toilet so many times I finally told myself, don't bother trying to sleep, you won't be getting any tonight. So here I am.

During my lying in bed trying to sleep but constantly coughing ordeal earlier, I reached for my Olympus and started playing with it. I wasn't falling asleep anyway so why not. I came across some new functions I never knew it had. Never knew it was that canggih.. Heh.

Apparently, it has this
auto fix function, similar to the auto correct function in Microsoft's Picture Manager. And it can also fit frames and make calenders out of the photos taken! Not bad eh. So much for having it for 1 year and 9 months and only stumbling upon its canggih-ness on my pitiful sleepless night due to excessive coughing. Bleh.

So I toyed with it a lil bit more and here are some of the outcomes.

Before (Original photo taken by camera):

After (Used the auto fix function in camera):

Wee, I look lighter/brighter in the edited photo. So much better.
My mom, when she took this photo said: Yer. Why so ugly one. T_T
Piannngg, heart broken.

Before:

After:

Add frame:

I look damn sakai I know lah but I was already in my PJs when we decided to bake the lil bro's non bake strawberry cheesecake when he got back from tuition. And also omg my fugly sunglasses tan line. It didn't look so awful when I check myself out look at myself in the mirror. But when I saw the photos, I gasps in horror, too.

So I am keeping my glasses on until the color fades or evens itself out.

This one didn't require any auto fix whatsoever cuz.. we're genuinely happy, I suppose. Hahahaha. I don't know.

I would have much preferred it if the knife wasn't pointed at me though..

Friday, September 4

Phew, lucky me.

I was pretty worried when I fell sick this time for a couple of reasons.

Firstly being that my traveling quite a bit over the holidays puts me at a higher risk of being exposed to the swine flu *choi* but it was still a risk mah.

Secondly also because I usually recover from sore throats within a max of 4 days, but this time it lasted longer.

Thirdly also because in the case that if I really
kena, a lot of you people would also be at risk cause I tak quarantine..

So, thank God seriously.

The doctors visit was a big relieve. Just a normal viral infection it seems. Because I complained that the sore throat's really hurting, whereby it really does, I am now on pain killers for the throat. Was also given cough mixture as well as a throat spray.

And I am super glad none of those require me to suck because my tongue is already sore from all the Strepsils sucking.

So, enough of me complaining about being sick.

The Proposal was a nice show, I would not call it a good show because it probably isn't. Unlike the likes of Transformers, that's a good show. A nice show lies within audiences' personal preference. So I liked The Proposal a lot, but I won't say it was a good show. Hm. This doesn't sound right.

No, scrap whatever I just said. The Proposal is a good and nice show. Period. :P

And I... went for my haircut.

While I don't hate it, I don't exactly fancy it either. Haha, I am on the she-is-contradicting-herself-the-whole-time-today roll. But yeah.

T__T I look like a ball. No offence ah! But really. My head looks really 'rounded' right now.

The golden streaks are less obvious now though, which is a good thing because I intended to go 'au natural' a long while ago but dye-ing it black wasn't quite the solution. So I came to terms with slowly allowing the hair to grow and cutting off the supposedly colored ends.

And my cbox isn't working.

Chocolate spread on cheese slices is yummy! But also super super fattening..

Thursday, September 3

痛!

:(
Damn this sore throat... Ugh.

I hate going to the doctors but if it doesn't get any better by the time I wake up tmr morning, the doctors it is.

~

And Happy 14th you little fella!
Lots of love.

I is sleepy tired..

Jumble Mumble

[updated]

I, seriously, have so many many things playing through my head right now I can't get it organized no matter how hard I try. The usual to do list isn't of any help this time either. Funny. And weird.

So as messy as my head is right now, that's how you'll have to read me today.

I finally got my links all up. Bangga aku!

I couldn't sleep last night. So, this- what you see right now, is the outcome of my 1st sleepless night of the semester. My gut feeling is telling me this is just the beginning of the many other sleepless nights to come, we shall see what else I am capable of doing. Life is about learning and discovering after all right?

Before you jump to the conclusion wondering if I am okay or not, like how Mandy exclaimed 'Are you okay?' when she first saw the change, I assure you that I AM FINE. Absolutely fine. Fingers just got itchy.. and I couldn't sleep lah come on! -_-

As for my choice of skin. Hm. I just like it. Principle of parsimony. Fits well no? I like the color, mainly.

I was browsing through some sites since I woke up and came across some I'd say, interesting articles. Looks like things really do happen whether you realize it or not, whether you like it or not. Then again. I am not complaining or anything. Just a little surprised over how much I actually do not know. Okay, maybe a tad upset too. But oh well..

*breath in breath out* Let it go. Aaaaah...

I recently have a new playlist. Songs from Dramabeans's Open Thread. I liked the first batch I dl-ed. Gimme Sympathy - Metric, best! So I dl-ed more.. but I tak suka sangat the second batch. Tapi takpe. Give and take..

Jeff just called. The uni bunch having lunch at Nirwana's. So I am off to join them lah... :)

* to be continued

... all I can think of now is the damn sore throat which was the exact same thing that woke me up this morning. Painnnnnn.

The end.

Oh no! gg.com.my or not!

update 3

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I better go to bed...
Doubt my super lau yar html skills will help me complete the new look anytime soon.

Then again. Should I just revert back to the previous template?
That is assuming it is still there.

T_T

Why lah fingers itchy aili ng?! Why?! Bah.

Good night!

update 2

Rawr.
On the bright side: something to keep me occupied with...
On the down side: semester starts today, I am already pre-occupied.

Ugh. Crap.

update 1

okay. not bad already. got my cbox back. the rest will have to wait.

gg.com.my or not!?

I like what I am seeing... but what have I just done!
