cONvO PorTR@It =P

K k... Enough emo-ing.. Keep it aside first. Arrival of convo portrait has totally lightened me up. The original digital version is too big a size liao. Have compressed it. See see..

The fake "bookshelf" abit de senget XD

Think they have got the job well done. At least I didn't look that fat lah. Chin sharp sharp like that. Keke.. Chic pox scars also removed liao. =P

Actually the portrait was supposed to arrive in September de loh. Most of my frens already got theirs. So I called Fotorex up yesterday to check if mine was lost on the way. The lady who spoke to me was very aunty lah. Haha.. but she was very nice. She kept apologizing and promised that my portrait would arrive today.

And it really did arrive this afternoon!! A super big pack including a frame!! Hmm.. I remembered paying for the RM90 package leh. Thought there is no complimentary frame? Also hor, there are three 3R-sized photos given as well. Thought the package only includes 2? AND, the portrait was of canvas material wor!! I thought only the RM130 package comes in canvas? Tak paham betul! ?_?

But it's not like I'm unhappy with that lah.. Kakaka.. Untung dao!! XD

Maybe that aunty was abit blur or what. Or maybe she was guilty for the late delivery that's why she gave me a good deal as compensation? Kakaka.. Hmm.. or maybe they are indeed complimentary. Dunno leh.

Anyway hor, I think Fotorex's packages are relatively value for money loh. At least the RM90 one is lah. Unlike the Strathclyde one which is darn freaking expensive and with no frame and NO touch-up loh. Hehe.. So, juniors, if anyone of u is reading this, just go ahead when it's ur turn next year ba!! Unless u have a fren whose family runs photography business like our fabulous Wei Meng Koko lah. Then of course it's much more worthy to close the deal with them. They would definitely charge a lower price and do a better job. Just like our Wei Meng Koko who received excellent review for the Strathclyde convo photoes he did for our batchmates. If Wei Meng Koko offers a deal to u all hor, fai fai accept ah!! Haha.. XD

K lah K lah. Dinner time dy. Hungry. Bye!

Hypersensitivity

"Sometimes you're just too sensitive..."

Well, I KNOW I'm very sensitive sometimes...

Not the first time being told this already,

but it still hurt

especially if it comes from the ones u care most.

I too HATE myself for being so sensitive,

but I dunno what I can do about it.

I wonder if my sensitivity is caused by caring too much. I care about how others feel. I dun wan anyone to feel hurt. I want to be considerate. I want everyone around me to feel happy. I'm just trying my best!

But being caring = being sensitive to ppl's happiness and sadness. But being sensitive can sometimes lead to hypersensitivity. And hypersensitivity ALWAYS leads to misunderstanding.

When ppl need to be cared, u try to provide them with that. But sometimes ppl appreciate, sometimes they don't. And when they don't, they find it a bother. Maybe I tried too hard? I dunno.

Yes, I understand what I feel best for others might not be what they want.

I wish I could be care-free. I wish I could be ignorant. I wish I could be indifferent towards everyone and everything around me.

But wouldn't that make me a cold-blooded creature? What's more, experiences already prove to me that when I become indifferent, ppl think I don't care for them anymore. Ppl feel hurt.

Ppl EXPECT u to understand!!!

Care also wrong, don't care also wrong. What the??? Got such thing like care abit bit and don't care abit bit ah?? When's the right time to care and to not??

Stuck in the middle of nowhere. Just like my current situation. Idle in life. Not moving forward nor going backward. Just stuck in a stage of life that I'm not totally comfortable with. Emptiness. With no aim.

I think the frustration, uncertainty, fear, pressure, and problems bothering me are the causes of my hypersensitivity lately. I feel depressed. I'm upset most of the time.

Just because I don't say it out it doesn't mean I've got nothing to worry about!

No suitable one is there to tell... No one is there to understand...

Trying too hard to act tough and care for others at the same time. I'm tired.

Could somebody pls tell me what to do? To being indifferent but caring? To being caring but not over sensitive? To not being annoying??

L.O.S.E.R

P/S.: Xin, if u happen to be reading this, do u know if there's anything to listen to or chant at to find peace in mind? If u don't, could u pls ask ur mum on my behalf? Being a devoted Buddhist, I believe she knows something about this. Thanks very much...

iT's @LL AbOUt hWOoD

Helo!! Me Maria. Just done grocery shopping with Ma'am. It's teatime now. So Maria has some free time to blog. XD

Maria masak another new dish 2 days ago. Chai Po (sweet radish) baked hwish. Maria tiru the recipe from a cooking book. Rasa not bad, tetapi abit too sweet lah. Maria think it's the problem of the chai po. Maybe next time should use the salty type instead.

Macam fish pie hor? Sebenarnya 3 slices of thick slicked hwish.

OK OK. Switch identity to Pei Ling. Got serious stuff to tell.

It's Raya yesterday. So Maria was off for the day. Dad & bro-in-law went to tapao "dai chao" for dinner. Haiyo. Not enough lah. Our whole family big size + big eaters mah. I wasn't even 20% full when all the dishes were already gone.. =(

Not full = bad mood de loh. So, I screamed (jokingly lah):

"KOKO!!!!! I'm still hungry!!!!! BUY ME ZINGER BURGER!!!!!!!!!!~~ Craving!!"

Was expecting either reaction number 1:

"Haaaaaaaar? HAHAHA! Go eat shit lah!"

or maybe reaction number 2:

"Walau!! Still not full meh? U think u still very slim ah?"

when I heard

"OK. No problem. What else u want?"

and he really went out right after that to get me the burger!! OOH!! Happy!!! =D

Was very very de touched loh. He seldom pamper me so much de loh. Hehehe... =) See see my ai4 xin1 Zinger burger!! ^^

Ooh huhu... Suspense.. What's inside?

Tada!!!!! Yum yum!!! Almost 2 year since I last had Zinger burger eh!! *Slurp* =P

THANK YOU, KOKO!!!!! =D

Hehe.. Mum cooked meehoon soup this afternoon. Think it looks very de tempting & seductive. Took a picture of it.

Oosh!! Yum!! Mama, cook for me, pls!!!!! *drool*

OK lah. Maria wanna go eat her kuih liao. Later gotta go sweep floor & cook dinner liao. Tata!!

P/S. Good luck to all of u who start work tomolo!! Whoa!! Another stage of life!! Congrats!! =)

LeT Ur s@LivA dROoL~~~

Muahahaha... I made this!! I made this!!!

Nice leh? Nice leh? Nyek hehehe...

It was an attempt to immitate this dish from the Keyaki Japanese Restaurant in Pan Pacific Hotel (Singapore).

The genuine version

Kakaka.. Not bad what. At least got 90% similarity mah, no?

Taste wise, of course Keyaki's version better lah. The bacon taste of my version was a wee bit too strong liao. The middle part of the prawn was a wee bit too soft, too. See? That's why I'm a pharmacist, not cook! XD

But hor, Dad said he preffered my version to Keyaki's!!!!! Cause my one tasted much better wor!!!!!! Woohuhuhu.... Kembang dao~

Yala yala... I know he was just trying to console me and give encouragement lah. Ish...

Mum suggested pan-frying the roll-ups first the next time I cook. I had that in mind as well actually. Teehehe... =P

EDIT: Xin asked me to add this. "Mum, Sir! Me Maria~ Me can cook nice hwood. See see the pikture I ambik! Me can speak Engrish also. And Sir, me can strip dance also kalau mau~ *wink wink*" Grrrrrrrrrr.....

她和他的故事

四天前，竟然又让我再遇见了她。顿时，不知所措。反复在脑海里演练了无数次的情景，并没有上演。心里，不禁责备自己老实不争气。。。

唉。。。毕竟时隔已久，心里的憎恨，厌恶，恶心，怨气，气愤，悲伤，痛苦，哀伤，已经被埋藏到心里最灰暗的角落里了。或许，它们变得迟钝了，一时来不及觉醒。

我想，她在我生命中留下的阴影，是我花一辈子都抹之不去的吧。。。

恨一个人的确是很累的。所以，我也已经尽我的全力忘掉过去。但是，心里的那个结，我想只有在我彻彻底底地复了一次仇后才能被解开吧。。。

那么，复仇的形式又是什么呢？说得好听是复仇，实际上它幼稚得可以！甚至连我自己都不明白我怎么会这么执著。我只是想当着她的面说出一番难听的话，让她也尝试一次被人羞辱至自尊心受创却还不明白自己到底犯了什么错的美好滋味！！！

哈哈。。。可笑吧？幼稚吧？愚蠢吧？

自几年前开始我便已经在等待这个机会了，却始终砰不上。等到砰上时，在那一瞬间我竟然犹豫我是否应该没骨气地望向她点点头，微微笑。幸好这个没出息的动作因以前所受的种种委屈在脑海里突然一闪而过而被及时收回了。还好。。不然我想我大概会后悔一辈子吧。。。

当时，父母正下着车准备去处理一些事情。她自老远便瞧见他们了。正如她一贯虚伪的作风，她友善地跟他们打了个招呼。我紧张兮兮地躲在车内，思考对策。她似乎知道我就在车内，绕了一圈来到车前！

由于心中的阴影实在太根深蒂固了，我低头，害怕与她四目对望。终于鼓起勇气抬起头时，她正往前行走，但也看见了我。她举起手微笑向我打招呼，但脚步没有停下。我没有反应，只是面无表情地斜眼凝视着她。我不爽地白了她一眼。可惜，她转头了，没看见。

我不禁猜测她到底知不知道我是因为讨厌她才会有如此反应，还是纯粹以为我只是眼睛贴邮票，没看见她！我希望也乐观地认为是前者。虽然称不上报仇，但至少我让她了解了我的不满，showed了attitude，并让她少少地不快活过，即便只有那么一次！嘿，我不再是那个只会默默承受一切的懦弱小女生了，OK？！你能拿我怎样，哼？

我不确定我还会不会再见到她，也不确定我的“复仇大计”会否落实。我知道我幼稚，但至少现下我心里舒坦多了。。。我想，我可能永远都无法原谅她。但是，我会尽力。毕竟，人是会改变的。而且，我也厌倦了背负着这个沉重的包袱来过日子。好累。。。

.........................................................................................

他，是大概两年半前在网上结识的。当时，Facebook还没出现，Friendster风靡一时。他便是在Friendster那儿add了我的。

他附带msg说，想和我做朋友。我surf了一下他的profile，发现他也是Batu Pahat人，而且也在KL求学。真巧！一时觉得好玩，便接受了他的add，也回了msg给他。

从此，我们便时常有Friendster msg上的来往。他给了我他的电话号码，并向我要我的。我委婉地拒绝了。毕竟，对于一个女孩子来说，轻易地把电话号码交给一个陌生的男生是一件危险的事。

后来，他生日了。我寄了封sms给他。也因此，他有了我的电话号码。他偶尔会寄sms给我，和我聊上几句。我想当时我才sem3吧。不知死活，每天根本都没有在读书。反正闲着也是闲着，所以我也不介意有多个人陪我无聊。谈得也还算投机。

有一天，谈着谈着，他突然要求和我出来见个面。此时，我没有半点犹豫就退缩了。老实说，我从来都不相信网上交友这回事。太难了吧！怎么有可能能够对一个你完全不了解的人如此信任呢？不论他或她在网上说得如何天花乱坠，也无从证实那是真实或是乱掰的啊！何况，我们不也常常在报章上看见一些因网上交友而被骗财骗色的个案吗？

我知道蔡智恒的《第一次的亲密接触》有多凄美。但是，或许是中小学时一些不开心的往事使然，我变得很难对人产生信任，不可能像轻舞飞扬那般的单纯。

所以我回复他说，我是个女孩子，单独出来见面感觉上还蛮危险的。反正IMU外也有个LRT站，如果他真想见面，不如就来IMU吧。我顺便也可以介绍一些朋友给他认识，开拓他的社交圈子。

我忘了他回复我什么。总之，这件事就此不了了之。后来，他也就没联络我了。Sem4时根本就忙死了，我压根儿早就把这件事给忘得一干二净了。但依稀记得我出国前，他好似有寄过几封sms来，而我也简短地和他聊了聊。

原本就已经没有主动联络他的习惯了，后来电话在Mid Valley的KTM站被偷后，他简直是从我的人生中彻底地消失了。

出国后，不知疯得多开心哪，哪会记得他的存在？回国后，更不用说了。几乎每天都在为posting的事忙和烦。

三天前，突然收到一封不知名的简讯，内容是以华语书写的。我这个在UK才刚换的电话，是个不折不扣的banana啊！怎会看得懂华语呢？于是，我礼貌的询问来讯人的身份与简讯的内容，心想八成是寄错了的吧。

没想到，是他。

挺讶异的。毕竟事隔已经太久了。当看见名字时，我还迟疑了一会儿，才想起是他…

他说我多半忘了他是谁，我说我没有并且还准确地说出了他的生日月份。闲聊起来，才发现他原来也刚从UK毕业回来！不过，他去的是Sheffield。虽然他有来过Glasgow，不过和大多数人一样，对于Glasgow的印象只有一个boring可以形容。哈哈…

聊着聊着，他说他不久后将会去新加坡谋生。他希望我们两个能在各自开始工作前至少出来见一次面。问我觉得怎样？

Uh oh …真糟糕！即便是去了UK之后，我还是没打算和他见面呀！

所以，我又再一次委婉地拒绝了他。这次的理由是，没有transportation。他说不如搭巴士吧，因为他也没有transportation。我说我从小到大都还不曾搭过本国的公共巴士呢！而且，也太危险了吧！他说，也对，对女孩子来说的确是危险了点。我说，算了吧，反正如果我们是会见面的，迟早都是会见面的。

心里正暗喜我又escape了一次时，他就没有回复了。直到今天为止都是。

纳闷！哎，谁说只有女人才难了解？

你看吧。说他是个网上骗子，又不太像。酱得空骗我两年骗不到还不放弃咩？说他纯粹只想交个朋友，可是为什么在每次我婉拒见面了之后他都立刻落个无声无息？说他想要玩玩，找个从网友变成朋友的女生，又不像。上网的女生成千上万。愿意和他出来见个面的肯定大把啦。何必这么执著？

纳闷，纳闷！

写下他的故事的原因，就是因为不了解。嗯…有没有人能够解答我的疑问呢？这到底是个怎么样的情形？我的处理手法到底对不对？如果你是我的话，你又会怎么做呢？希望没有伤害到人也没有造成不必要的误会…

Posting larh...

Weehee~ Know where I will be posted to dy... Not going to tell u now lar. Bleh! Haha.. Read till the end of this post first mah... =P

Knew from last night that the posting results for my lot would be out this morning. Kah Yee was the first to inform me that she would be posted to HKL. Then Cheah Voon and many many more. Everyone asked me for my posting in turn.

Told them I was in no mood to check yet. Scare scare ma. Wahlao!! Immediately kena bombed dao!!! Aksed me fai fai call lah, dun wuliao lah, cursed me kena Sabah lah and etc etc.

Ouchy!!! Wuwu... 人缘 bad dao~ T_T

But I memang like this wuliao since last time liao de lah.. I also dunno why leh.. PP3 & sem6 results I also waited till I shiok shiok only I checked.. In fact, even the freaking scary final year results also like that leh.. Heard the opposite house screaming & shouting like Zoo Negara (Pei Fung and co., if u know what I meant. Kakaka.. XD oopsy!!) so immediately I knew results were out. Told my housemates and all of them rushed to room to check their results online.

As for me, I lengang-lengang into room to finish watching the episode of Gossip Girl that I just buffered. Then bathed, applied Calamine cream (stupiak chicken pox that time ma), combed hair nice nice, baru I sat down and prepared to log into Spider. Kena bombed by housemates nonetheless.. They were even more kancheong over my results than I did. Haha...

Hmm.. It's not that I dun care le. I was very very kancheong de. Heart like "pik pok pik pok" like that.. stomach ache somemore.. But I just wanted to get mentally prepared first before I rushed into checking the results le. Like today, I waited until I was comfortable and mentally well-prepared enough that if I were to hear this:

"Cik Chua, kau dapat Kelantan/Terengganu/Sarawak/Sabah."

I would go

"Oh well, WTF. This is fate. Accept it and start packing ur @$$ off."

instead of shouting into the phone

"HAAARR?????!!! Apa???!! KENAPA SAYA?!! Tak ala dalam pilihan saya lah!!! Boleh rayu? Macam mana lah encik?? Tolonglah, encik.. Jangan bagi saya boleh tak??? Minta tolong lah..."

So u see the reason why? U see the better reaction in handling the same situation? That's why I was so "bah bai" + wuliao le.. Haha.. It's due to the lack of confidence!! The worry that I might not get what I wanted so badly!!

Oh well.. Anyway, I sent out sms to almost the whole kampung immediately after knowing my posting. I have been posted to... *drums rolling*

JOHOR!!!!!~~~ *clap clap clap clap clap*

It's my first choice!! It's the state that I asked for!!!!! Thanks God!!!!! I am sooooo grateful!!!!! =)

Still dunno which part of Johor I will be working at. Gotta laporkan diri at Kementerian Kesihatan Johor first. Dunno the lapor date as well. Either 16th Oct or 1st Nov ba. Gotta wait for the posting letter first. Hehehe... =)

OK lah.. I wanna go exercise liao. Damn shitty lah.. Put on 3kg after returning from UK. GOSH!!!!! I'm at the borderline of becoming obese!!! Sis even called me "Eh, fat girl"!!! Uugh!! What the... Shikitty shit shit!!! Dun wanna blog liao. Depressed dy.. Tata!!

EDIT: KKM just informed HeHe Sheong that the posting results announced on the 25th had been declared invalid due to some changes. Uugh!!! Asked to call back again after 16th Oct!! Ding Diow...

ShAMe O' sHamE

Oh, man!! This is soooo true!! A national shame, indeed. Ughh...

Diary of a (Part-time) Housewife

Mum fell sick yesterday...

She was feverish and suffering from flu. She stayed in the room and slept most of the time. So I took over her role in the family.

Mum washed a load of clothes before going to sleep. So I collected the clothes, folded them, swept the floor, and prepared teatime for both dad and myself. After that, I made ABC porridge for mum to have as dinner. Cooked 3 days' portion. Fried an egg as well.

Sis came back early, worried over mum's condition. She dabao-ed some dishes back but it wasn't enough for the whole family. So I cooked rice, and fried eggs again.

Freaking tired after that. Didn't even have much appetite for dinner. Cleaned the stove and washed some dishes after that somemore. =S

Luckily mum got better. So it was a relief to all of us... cause we can hand all the housechores back to her again... Kakaka.. Of course not lah!!! It's because she's feeling better and getting well lah... XD

Moral of the story,

IT'S NOT EASY BEING A HOUSEWIFE EH!!!!!

Read about an article in a Singaporean magazine yesterday. It said some researchers in the UK conducted a study and found out that an averaged housewife works for at least 9hours everyday!!!!! No weekend break, no MC, no public holidays, no annual leaves!!!!! And if they were paid for what they do each day according to the market price, they would have earned S$90,000 a year, equivalent to the pay of a senior executive in Singapore!!!!!

OMG!!!!! Our mums are sooooo rich!!!!! If only they were paid lah... Kakaka... XP

See? That's how much work and effort our mums put into the family le. So, ppl, make sure u love ur mum more and pamper her with all that she asks of u, k? Sayang sayang her, hug hug her, kiss kiss her... just do whatever u can to make her feel ur love, k? Mums are noble!!!!! =)

领悟

表面上看起来越快乐的人，内心其实越感伤。。。

是真的。。。

没有被表达出来的难过，其实才是最痛苦的。。。

WHATEVER

Went to the hospitals for the compulsory medical check-up few days ago. Gosh! What efficiency? What lesser waiting time? Just doing a urine test & a chest X-Ray took them 2 hours. Somemore they had to conduct these 2 simple tests in 2 different hospitals that are 10 minutes away from each other by driving, without traffic jam. WTH? Dad and I were famished by the time they were done. I still have to go back to the hospital for some raba-raba of dada physical check-up on the 9th. Gosh, another round of waiting.

Wei Meng's fav quote, "Human beings spend a third of their lives waiting..."

Too many patients too little seats. So the patients ended up crowding at the registration counter. In order to overwrite the background noise level, the nurses talked through a mic, which was connected to 2 amplifiers. They used that to call upon patient whose turn was next but they conveniently left the mic on while talking face to face to the ppl at the counter.

Now the WHOLE WORLD knows my name. Now the WHOLE WORLD knows I was there to do medical check-up. Now the WHOLE WORLD knows I did a urine test & a chest-X ray. They even put my urine test report so casually on the registration counter, with the results facing upwards, as if inviting the eyes of all to look. So now ALMOST the WHOLE WORLD also knows what my urine was composed of.

Privacy? Patient's confidentiality? My foot. What if I was there for STD? What if I was there for Methadone? What if I was there for teenage pregnancy???

Did I also mention that there is definitely no lining-up whatsoever culture here? I thought I should let the ppl who came before me to settle their issues first. So I waited patiently. But ppl who came after me kept squeezing in, and pushing me backwards. Why? Because they knew if they didn't, they would have to wait for as long as I did!

So I waited & waited and finally I was the one standing right in front of the counter. Did I get served immediately? No! I realized that the nurses did not care how early u came or how long u had waited. The priority of being greeted first was given to ppl with "hat". U have no "hat"? Then u wait lah! The nurses saw me waiting, but ignored me. Ppl who squeezed in later, but with "hat", got served although their issues were much more complicated when compared to mine. I just wanted to hand in my forms! The nurses rather went up & down searching for a lost medical card (of course of ppl with "hat" lah) than simply taking in my form. WTF? What's more, 6 to 7 nurses were sitting & CHIT-CHATTING at the table behind the busy counter. Were they blind that they couldn't see the huge crowd forming? What were they paid for??? WTFFFFF!!!??

Effective patient communication doesn't matter here. The nurses got impatient, irritated & annoyed freaking farking super easily. U only accept what they have told u. U don't ask questions. They start frowning with that kinda "Apa lagi?? Bodohlah engkau!!" facial expression the moment u deliver the 2nd question. Can u imagine the fear & inferiority some elderly patients, particularly those who can barely speak Malay, must have felt? As if they have done something extremely wrong! So they stop asking question. So they stop telling problems. So they dun understand what their drugs are for. So they dunno how & when to take their medications. So they become incompliant. So they dun tell even when their medications are causing troubles. So they continue/stop taking medicaitons. So they die of taking the inappropriate/not taking medications!!!!! Can u see how serious the problem can become???!!

WHAT A SHAME!!!!!

Pls, nurses! Remember ur role as a healthcare proffessional. Remember ur passion & aspiration when u first entered the field. Remember urself as a role-model to ur juniors. Remember that u are here to serve!!

I love this country. It is totally heart-breaking to see the healthcare system in this state. I hope changes could be made. I hope attitudes could be rectified. I hope one day, all of us could feel proud of the healthcare system in our country...

BeaRs' t@lK

Yup, as u have probably known, I'm in Singapore now. Stay at home most of the time. What to do? The sales are over. Without discount, I sometimes find the things here even more expensive than UK's standard!!!!! Surprisingly, huh? And I thought I would be spending money like water.. Ah cheh!!~

So, what to do at home? I accompany parents out for lunch everyday and fyi, Singapore's hawker's food not nice de lor =( Expensive somemore, ish.. Then, we go to supermarket to get ingredients for dinner and come back home. We have teatime and watch TV. I then sweep the floor and cook for dinner together with mum. After dinner, we watch TV again. Sometimes supper sometimes no.

Omg AUNTY DAO!!!!!~~~ XP XP XP XP XP

What to do? No fren here leh, except for Xin Hui. But we stay very far away from each other lah.. Haven't even met up once ever since we are here. Sob..Luckily I have my bears to play with. XD Only left with 2 bears. Mum brought the rest back to hometown dy. Now let me introduce them to u. Tada~ (Bi, u can stop reading from this point onwards XD)

Everybody says Hi to Rody!!~

Now to Kang Kang!!~

*Courtesy of mentee, Zi Kang* =)

Rody is a London cop. He always watches me to sleep at night to make sure no bad person comes bully me. XD

Kang Kang and Rody are very good frens. They take good care of each other.

They "bear hug" almost everyday.. XD

*Sis says they are gay de. Celaka...*

Singapore is really too hot for them liao. They miss London and their home (Harrods) very very de much...

They always look out of the window thinking of their frens in the UK..

Wakakaka.. What? Bears really do talk, okay? *Sayang-sayang-ing my bears* XD XD

P/S. Am still using my old hp number but the credit has expired. Will only reload the credit when I am back in Msia. My mum's hp pulak something wrong. Sorry if I didn't reply ur msg ya. My laptop Dong Dong was away for servicing for the past few days. That's why I couldn't online, too. Sorry ya!! =)

HeLLo fRoM sINg@PorE

Halo, everyone!! I have finally waved goodbye to Glasgow and thrown myself back into the Asian's arms. Yup! I'm in Singapore now but am not going back to my home country, Malaysia soon though. Visiting my sis and bro here. Hehe.. =) Will only go back 2 weeks later.

The journey back was a pleasant one. Just that the check-in officer was kinda unfriendly. Nearly sent my luggage to KL when it was stated clearly on the e-ticket that my destination was Singapore. Somemore showed sour face even though she was the one at wrong wor. The 13 hours spent in the flight from London Heathrow back to Singapore passed by much faster than I expected. It's like eat eat, sleep sleep, eat eat then arrived liao. Haha.. Guess that's because I had the company of a whole kampung of frens throughout the journey. Can't imagine how Ah Ming went through all these alone. Geng!!

And I CERTAINLY MISS GLASGOW ALREADY!!!!! Especially the weather and the accent!! When I first landed, I actualy felt abit awkward seeing so many ppl of my own kind. Haha.. It's hot here in Singapore!! I sweat badly everyday!! Wearing short pants instead of jeans doesn't help much. And so I grumble alot. Hahaha.. =P

First meal upon arrival: Chicken Rice (with lotsa chili!!) plus Curry Fishhead plus leafy vege (not lettuce, cabbage or brocolli!!)!!!!! OMG!!!!! Super bahagia~ =D Sorry lah.. no photo.. I finished the foods before I had time to take any photo. Wakakakak.. =P

Suffered a wee bit of jet lag. Was abit dizzy upon landing. Maybe because of the frequent turbulence throughout the flight and that the plane descended a wee bit too fast for my ear pressure to handle. But I was ok again after shower. Super adaptive wei~ XD

Oh ya... I thought I would receive better service or treatment here since the majority of ppl in this country are of my kind. Sadly, it isn't so. When I first arrived, I smiled and greeted the custom officer "Hi there!" but received no reply. She just took my passport, checked, and then *chop chop* and handed it back to me. I said "Thank You" and again she ignored me. Wah lao!!!!! What is this??? Ang mohs would at least nod even if they don't really fancy talking to u loh. Moreover, her name was Siti something something, which showed she was probably a Malaysian herself as well!!! Duh!!

So, I thought maybe being a custom officer she was forced to be serious. But my parents and I have had some other bad experience already these few days. For example, my mom wanted to buy aunty Korean drama VCD from a shop. So, she asked the salesgirl to recommend. The salesgirl told her to look for them herself. My mum told her it's very difficult to search from the pile of VCDs there and it would be better if she could recommend a few. The salesgirl drew out some very very common one like Winter Sonata and being a huge Korean drama fan, my mum has watched them all already. So, guess what she told my mum? "Then u don't have to buy anymore lah". What the??? Is that the way to do business nowadays?? Beh song!!

By the way, after some failure attempts in understanding and getting used to Scottish accent, I find Singlish rather funny. Haha.. So not used to hearing so much "lah loh leh ma ah har" in one sentence. Funny sial wei!! XD XD Am trying hard to hold on to the last bit of memory I still have of Scottish accent. It is slowly being displaced out by Singlish bit by bit everyday. NOOOooooo~~~ XP

Was in quite a good mood today. Why? Cause I had prawn noodles as lunch, durian as teatime, and nasi lemak (with 2 fried chic wings, fried egg, sambal, kacang and ikan bilis) as dinner!!!!! MUA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! Shiok ah~ What else can one ask for? XD XD

However, my mood was spoilt upon browsing through Ah Bi's blog just now. She left me MSN messages telling me to page her once I am online cause she has some PTPTN stuffs to share with me. She wasn't online just now but from what I understand from her blog, it seems that PTPTN is now chasing us to pay back for the loan. Great. I haven't even started working for goodness' sake!! Very efficient of them, huh? The thing is, I am not in Malaysia now. I don't have all the documents with me. I would have to provide my PTPTN and Bumiputera bank account number if I were to request to postpone the payment date. Like I can remember them by heart??? Ish... Really dunno what I should do now. They are sending out saman soon if I don't start paying up. Gotta seek for Chua Ming's advice tomolo. Hopefully I could find a way out. Ish... Completely spoilt my post-nasi-lemak happy mood wei... Grrrrr.....

Oh, by the way, I had a miserable time reading through PTPTN webpage in BM. So happy when I found out that there was actually an "edisi Inggeris". Ooshh! 4.5 years of BM-free days has really got my BM rotten to the roots already. I was once a Malay debator somemore eh!! What a shame!! MUST make BM my first language from today onwards. Dun wanna fail my Pharmacy Interview with the government wei...

Sebenarnya, masa sudah amat lewat. Saya sepatutnya pergi tidur sekarang. Oleh itu, saya harus pergi tandas kencing dan gosok gigi sekarang. Jumpa lagi apabila saya mempunyai masa lapang. Sekian, terima kasih. Selamat tinggal~ XD XD XD XD XD

Halo ppl, it's me. This is probably gonna be my last post from Glasgow. Am finally going back Malaysia. Well, although I miss my family and Malaysia very very much, I must admit that I have developed a very special feeling towards Glasgow already.

Afterall, I have been here for nearly 14 months already since the 6th of June, 2007. Time does fly. Deep in my mind, I can still vividly see myself arriving in Glasgow and being greeted by a bunch of kind seniors in the airport. And now, I am leaving this place that I love in less than 16 hours time.

Yes, I do love Glasgow. Yes, I have been through ups and downs within these 14 months of time, but mostly it's the happy times that I remember. Yes, some Glaswegians can be a total jerk at times, but they are the minority. Most of them are warm and friendly. They greet u with a sincere smile even if u are a total stranger with a different skin colour. Yes, it's like a kampung and there aren't many attractions here, but I still find Glasgow beautiful.

I am so gonna miss the time I spent in the university, be it in the lecture halls or in the labs. I am so gonna miss all my dearest IMU mates who flew all the way here together with me. I am so gonna miss walking around in the city centre at 12 o'clock in the afternoon and not shedding a single drop of sweat. I am so gonna miss walking around with my sling bag and not having to look out for snatch thief. I am so gonna miss Haggis and Irn Bru!!!!! Hahaha... =)

Went out walking around alone this afternoon. Took pictures of Buchanan Street and George Square. Felt very lonely all of sudden. Most of my frens would scatter all over Malaysia. Some in other countries. Wonder when we will meet up again? Sad sad sad!!! =(

I guess it's about time for me to grow up and be fully responsible towards myself. Gosh!! No more student discount!! No more spending pama's money without feeling guilty!! No more staying up late and waking up in the noon!! Hello stressful working life!! Hello RM3500 per month!! Hello on-call!! Hello night shift!! Hello working on weekends!! Hello sleeping 6 hours everyday!!!!! XP XP XP XP XP

Oh well, will think about those later and enjoy these few weeks till gao gao first. Hello Char Kway Tiao!! Hello Nasi Lemak!! Hello Curry Fishhead!! Hello Mamak Stalls!! Hello Mommy's cookings!! Bye Bye Western Foods!!!!! XD XD

Okie lah. I gotta go bathe and pack my stuffs now. The next time I blog, I would be in Singapore already. Not going back Malaysia straight. Would spend some time hanging out with my sis in Singapore. My family will be there, too. Will be using back my same old Malaysia number. So, do contact me, alright? Keep in touch ya!! Muacks Muacks!! =D

Last but not least, BYE BYE GLASGOW!!!!! LOVE YA SO MUCH!!!!! Hugzz... =)

*Bish bish bish*

Thank u all very much for the rotten eggs. I feel much better now. I know I have abandoned this site for too long a time already. Such an irresponsible blogger I am. So, just go ahead and throw as many rotten eggs as u wish towards my direction. I won't duck a single one.. =P

*Bish bish bish*

Reason why I hadn't been updating my blog? Same old story loh.. Busy lah.. Like a bee wei...

Been doing research for my Europe trip with parents, sister, and bro-in-law. Tried so hard to ensure that our parents enjoy the trip to the max. Super stressed wei... Practically gotta act like a tour guide. I wasn't even that stressed during the final year degree exam... (-_-")

After the trip, I had graduation to attend. Sent parents off and then start packing to shift over to juniors' place.

Thing Thing Thing Pei Ling, Siew Ying, Sook Foong, and Theng Nee (gals, sorry if I spelled ur names wrongly) were very kind to have taken me in. They even took very great care of me!! Paisay wei!! Thought it was supposed to be the other way round instead?? Haha... Anyway, I had a really great time staying together with them. Such a bunch of loveable cuties.. =)

Thanks so much, gals!! U gals are always so caring and considerate. Definitely the best juniors I have seen so far. Thank u all for everything and wish u gals all the best in ur future undertakings.. =) Good luck for all the upcoming exams!! May u all absorb all leftover aura from the previous tenants of J9 unit and graduate with flying colours, too!! Lolz... Hugz... Love u all... =)

After that I went travelling with labby Chua Ming to London. My first time visiting London wei!! Given that I have been in UK for more than a year already, I consider this a great failure loh.. Everyone else in P105 has visited London at least once already, okay? What's more, this is Chua Ming's 4th visit to London already!! Shame on me!! Haha..

London was not bad although I must admit that I hate the peak hour crowd and heat in the underground stations. Indeed, I would never wanna become a Londoner. They always seem to be rushing.. Be it morning, afternoon or night. What a hectic lifestyle to have!! Wonder what's the averaged life span of a typical Londoner.. Am guessing that they most probably would die young due to the amount of stress they must endure everyday... Scary~ Thanks Bi for being my tour guide in London. Thanks very much for accompanying me there even though I know u are damn freaking sick of London already. I appreciate all that u have done for me very very much. Thank u!! =)

Then me and Chua Ming meet up with Lee Yin, Xin Hui, Christine, and Chew Yee in London. Together, the six of us flew to Greece. What can I say? Greece is such a beautiful country!! Very different from the other European countries that I have been to so far. It's definitely a MUST to visit the surrounding islands. Simply lovely!! Although the Greeks aren't the friendliest species on Earth, but I am guessing that communication problem might be the main culprit behind. Other than that, everything else is simply awesome. Definitely one of the best trips I have been to.. =) And gals, thank u all so much for being such wonderful travelling mates!! I enjoyed ur companionship very much. Most of all, thanks for giving me a chance to visit the country that I have long been wanting to go. Thank u!! =)

Nevertheless, I would only talk more about my trip when I have the time and mood to, which as usual, would most probably never come true unless a miracle happens. Kakaka... =P

Just came back to Glasgow today. Shifted from junior's place back to Birbeck again. Thanks to the 11B tenants for willing to take me in. Then celebrated Phek Joo's and Edmond's belated birthdays. Checked mail and now here I am, updating my long deserted blog even if it's already 3:30 in the morning, even if everyone else has gone to sleep, and even if tomolo is gonna be another long day for me. Decided that I should get the update done by today for if not, I might well be back in Malaysia already when I finally do so.

Anyway, it's getting really late and I can barely hold my eyelids open now. Will try my best to update at least once before I go back to Malaysia on the 22nd. Till then, good night and see ya!! Bye~ =D

Halo, peeps!! It's me!! Okay okay... Before u start throwing rotten eggs at me for deserting my blog, let me explain myself first.

So as u all know, I was busy preparing for final year degree exam ma. Super stressed loh... Somemore after that kanasai CPP paper, I kinda like insaf already lah. Scared of failing ma... So I made sure I studied properly lah...

And then hor, so "happy" wei!! The day after PharmCare paper, I fell sick. Fever + body aching. So I thought it was probably caused by deprivation of sleep loh. So I rested and woke up the next morning feeling super refresh!! BUT, I noticed several blisters of unknown origin on my face and on my body. I accidentally broke a few of them tim!!

Then, I noticed one super big blister right under my breast. Housemates all kena chicken pox before and they suspected that I was infected by this stupiak Vericella Zoster virus lah. Since I had to sit for ADD exam in few days time, I got kinda worried. So we called up NHS24, hoping to get some antiviral injection like we have back in Malaysia to suppress the infection loh.

Because the infection was still in early stage, I had no fever nor numerous number of blisters. So Nurse Jie Jie asked me to observe for another day loh.

So I observed. But as the day goes by, I feel more weak, feverish and malaise. I couldn't concentrate on studies at all. The number of blister has increased a lot as well. It was 18th of May, which means I was left with 2 more days to study for ADD only. I couldn't afford to waste that 2 days away, too!! I needed to know what was happening to me.

So, I called up NHS24 again, and asked for an emergency appointment, threatening them that if I don't get proper treatment, I may spread the infection to everyone in the exam hall. But that uncle wasn't very friendly lah, and he told me even if they arranged for an emergency appointment, there was nothing they can do as well.

He let me talked to a nurse and that Nurse Aunty asked if I had taken any medication. Told her I didn't lah. Was thinking, it's viral infection what, what can I take? Then u know what? That Nurse Aunty said, "That's kinda silly!! U should have taken some pain killers!! That would have suppressed ur fever!!". And then I was like "Duh!!! Of course I know I can take Paracetamol, but as a pharmacist (cheh wah..) I know it provides symptomatic relief only!! No doubt it will make me feel much better, but the severity of my disease will be masked, too!! Not to mention I wasn't even sure if it was chicken pox or not..."

Of course I didn't argue with her lah. I just "yeah yeah yeah..." and so the only advice she gave me was, "Take Paracetamol". That's it. Kinda depressing lah... But I popped down 2 Paracetamol nonetheless.

But around 15 minutes later, someone called me on my handphone. Thinking back now, most probably it was my GP le. He asked me about my condition and I kinda begged for an appointment plus threatened him about spreading the disease again. So, finally he told me I could take a taxi to go to the Western Infirmary Out of Hour Centre if I want for Royal Infirmary was already closed for the day. He would transfer my information to Western Infirmary.

I was super duper uncomfortable already so I decided to go even though Western Infirmary was around Kelvongrove area. So housemates helped me to call a cab and Cheah Voon teman me there. I looked sooooooooo fugly wei... with hair tied up and fringe held back with a hairband. EeewWW!!!!!

But the healthcare system here really super efficient lah. I just "erm..." only the uncle at the reception already said "U called, right? U can wait for the doctor in the waiting room over there" and gave me a big smile. Wah... Warm dao~

So after much waiting, I was finally seen by a nurse who took my case note down, and then by this doctor called Dr. Rowland. She looks freaking knowledgeable wei!! Got a bit of PP3 AB feel, but of course she looked much kinder than AB lah. Super duper friendly. So so soOOOO nice wei. Fell in love immediately.. XD

So she touched touched the blisters and confirmed that it was chicken pox infection. One thing weird is that there was no medication that she could give to suppress the infection!! How come ah? I thought UK is supposingly more developed than Malaysia? The jab is like so common back in Malaysia, isn't it? Hmm... Anyway, she told me she would call up the University to discuss about my condition but when I asked her if she knew which university I was studying at, she said no. Errrmmm.... Well, maybe she has that in her record I suppose?? If not how's she gonna call lah???

Because the blisters weren't itchy at the time, so she only prescribed me with Calamine aqueous cream and told me I didn't even have to pick the prescription up if the blisters didn't give me any problem. No antihistamine whatsoever was given. My temperature was 38.1C after 2 Paracetamol tablets and so Dr. Rowland asked me to continue taking them loh...

So, I went back home and the taxi fare to and fro cost me 12 pounds!!!!! Wah lao eh!!! Chee sin one!! What to do? I really needed to find out what was wrong with me le. So that I could study in peace... I know it sounds nerd lah, but really super distress wei that time. Didn't even manage to study 1 single chapter!!

The next day there were a lot more blisters and the blisters got super duper itchy lah. So, Su Ann helped me to pick up the Calamine cream. Mak Dia!! Tipu orang punya!!! At night, the cream dried up and made the itch even worse!!! I tak boleh tahan dy. Since I have got some antihistamine myself, I popped one down even though I knew it would make me drowsy and unable to study. The itch was killing me!!! However, besides causing drowsiness, the antihistamine had no other effect on me. I had a very unpleasant night. Insomnia...

The next day was the last day to study before ADD exam. I tried very hard to concentrate but it was really difficult. I felt lethargic all the time. In the end, I couldn't finish studying. I was so worried that I was gonna fail....

I notified Carol and Prof. Sue regarding my condition the moment I got back from Western Infirmary. So they arranged for me to take the exam in quarantine. Hmm.. not really that stressful, but the examiner very de blur lah!! He started late and ended early!!! Somemore there was one page missing from my exam paper. Dots... He got it solved halfway through the exam.

I felt sooooooo relief after the exam even though I did kinda bad. Finally I could rest!!! I had to force myself to stay strong and study in spite of the extreme tiredness and itch I was suffering from. Felt so much like giving up. Kinda had the thoughts of "I would rather drop dead now than to continue living like this". Exhausted wei...

So after exam, I just stayed at home to recuperate loh. Lethargic wei. Slept till 12p.m. everyday. XD Quite sien lah sometimes but what to do? I was not supposed to go out le. Takkan spread the infection to the whole world meh? Moreover I looked like a freak with those blisters all over my face and body lah. Super disgusting wei... Somemore Chinese believes that when u have chicken pox, u are not supposed to get urself exposed to the wind... Haha...

But I am soooooooooo very lucky that I have a bunch of caring frens. They took care of me well, teman me to go see doctor, helped me to pick up prescription, came over to visit and accompany me, bought me all the necessities, cooked me lunch and dinner on daily basis eh!!!!! Those who haven't kena chicken pox before also called me up to send me regards. I am soooooooooooooooooooo touched!!!!! Wu wu wu...

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY FRENS!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

I really think I don't deserve all the love that u all have shown me lah... I am such a sucky person and I know that!!! Feel so paisay. I was like so useless... Couldn't do anything... You all handled everything and cared so much for me... I am really speechless lah.. Really don't know how to express my gratitude besides saying "thank u!" to all of u lah... Really, thank u!! I truly truly appreciate what u all have done for me and I will remember all these in my heart forever and ever.

Thanks so much, my dear frens... =)

Hugz & Muacks... Oh no! Wait till my blisters clear off first then only I hug and muacks u all lah. Lol... Many many loves and thanks... =)

P/S. Am going around UK with Xin Yin and Hui Koon from tomolo onwards!! Tee hee hee... Will be going to Leeds, York, Birmingham (Cadbury chocolate factory!!), Stonehenge (!!!!!), Oxford, and Manchester (Dim Sum!!!). Happy happy~ Will only come back on the 3rd afternoon. Don't worry. The infection is more than 10 days old dy. According to Yahoo! Health, it's not contagious anymore. Hehe... so, till then, don't miss me too much, peeps!!!!! Will blog about KT's gig in SECC soon!! Just got the photos from Hanseloon yesterday. Kaka... Tata~~~~~ =D

dIS@stROuS

Wah lao eh... CPP was a mess of SH*T lah!!! Even worse than lao sai, okay?!!

Tell me how to read & interpret & rephrase & write & elaborate so many things in such a limited amount of time???!!! Pls enlighten me!!!

At first somemore thought it's not gonna be that hard since the paper was at least understand-able this time. BUT, that kinda freaking answers they expect from us (in order to pass only, not score!) is impossible to be comprehended within 2.5 hours lah!! And that is, if u only spent half an hour flying through the entire paper, like I did.

Kanasai eh.. If they allow us to write short short or copy straight from the text like secondary school English exam, then it might be possible lah. I left one 10 marks question totally blank wei!! Somemore the passing mark is 50%, not 40%!!!!!

spoon & FARK!! Oops, I mean, fork... FORK FORK FORK FORK FORK!!!!!

Gazala was my invigilator somemore.. Not even an extra second to put a word down, unless u wanna get u paper marked with a "special" note, signed personally by her lah!! Wah lao eh... False fire alarm ka ka cau cau somemore... Wah piang!! They tested the fire alarm & couldn't stop it after that!!! WTF??!!!

Saw quite a number of ppl crying after the exam. So kesian... TMD they really shouldn't have tortured us like that lah.. I wasn't really scared until I saw my dear frens crying. Then I started calculating the probability (statistics again!! FORK!!) of me passing. Judging from that the fact that I messed up both the 20 and 15 marks (this one did halfway only somemroe!!) questions as well, I find it very low. SHOOT!!

Oh my gosh... Scary lah... Should I withdraw all the money that I have left in RBS out to buy Alison Thompson a LV bag and beg for a pass? Should I?? SHOULD I?????

Praying hard that God will grant us, the entire P105 batch, a 100% passing rate...

Platypus Genome Decoded!!!

Mua haha.. This is soooo freaking relevant to Drug Delivery Systems (I know it's over already lah) and Advanced Drug Discovery (but this is yet to come mar)!!!!! Ooh, don't stress don't stress. It's actually quite interesting to read. Figure u peeps might be interested. So am gonna copy & paste everything shamelessly from Yahoo! News. The link is as below (in case I kena sued for plagiarism later.. XD) http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080507/sc_afp/sciencebiologygeneticsplatypus_080507184740

Nah... This is for u ignorant fella who doesn't know what a platypus is.. XD

"Neither fish nor fowl: Platypus genome decoded
by Marlowe Hood Wed May 7, 2:47 PM ET

Arguably the oddest beast in Nature's menagerie, the platypus looks as if were assembled from spare parts left over after the animal kingdom was otherwise complete.

Now scientists know why. According to a study released Wednesday, the egg-laying critter is a genetic potpourri -- part bird, part reptile and part lactating mammal.

The task of laying bare the platypus genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread across 18,500 genes has taken several years, but will do far more than satisfy the curiosity of just biologists, say the researchers.

"The platypus genome is extremely important, because it is the missing link in our understanding of how we and other mammals first evolved," explained Oxford University's Chris Ponting, one of the study's architects.

"This is our ticket back in time to when all mammals laid eggs while suckling their young on milk."

Native to eastern Australia and Tasmania, the semi-aquatic platypus is thought to have split off from a common ancestor shared with humans approximately 170 million years ago.

The creature is so strange that when the first stuffed specimens arrived in Europe at the end of the 18th century, biologists believed they were looking at a taxidermist's hoax, a composite stitched together from the body of a beaver and the snout of a giant duck.

But the peculiar mix of body features are clearly reflected in the animal's DNA, the study found.
The platypus is classified as a mammal because it produces milk and is covered in coat of thick fur, once prized by hunters.

Lacking teats, the female nurses pups through the skin covering its abdomen.

But there are reptile-like attributes too: females lay eggs, and males can stab aggressors with a snake-like venom that flows from a spur tucked under its hind feet.

The bird-like qualities implied by its Latin name, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, include webbed feet, a flat bill similar to a duck's, and the gene sequences that determine sex. Whereas humans have two sex chromosomes, platypuses have 10, the study showed.

"It is much more of a melange than anyone expected," commented Ewan Birney, who led the genome analysis at the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge.

The animal also possesses a feature unique to monotremes -- an order including a handful of egg-laying mammals -- called electroreception.

With their eyes, ears and nostrils closed, platypuses rely on sensitive electrosensory receptors tucked inside their bills to track prey underwater, detecting electrical fields generated by muscular contraction.

"By comparing the platypus genome to other mammalian genomes, we'll be able to study genes that have been conserved throughout evolution," said senior author Richard Wilson, a researcher at Washington University.

In captivity, platypuses have lived up to 17 years of age.

In the wild, they feed on worms, insect larvae, shrimps and crayfish, eating up to 20 percent of their body weight every day.

Males grow to a length of 50 centimetres (20 inches) and weigh about two kilos (4.5 pounds), with females about 20 percent shorter and lighter.

The genome sequenced for the study belongs to a female specimen from New South Wales nicknamed Glennie and can be accessed at www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genbank."

I'm Blessed for Having You All... =)

Thanks everyone for making it happened last night...

Truly appreciate everything u all have done for me... (although I'd be happier if u all have asked that 2 random angmoh guys to leave their phone numbers to me. kakaka... XD)

I know everyone is super duper freaking farking (oops!) stressed up at the moment. Thanks for willing to spare ur precious time out just for ME!!!!!

Seriously, I am very-very^(a billionth times) thankful and touched. Really didn't expect anything. Was jamming my iPod so loud while Gene-Therapy-ing when housies blind-folded me!! Didn't even hear them entering my room!!! Gosh... XD

So, yeah. It was indeed a pleasant surprise!! Happy Happy~~ =D

And u all even prepared the pressies already!! Oh my!! Feel very bad lah... to make u all shop around for my pressies during this supposed-to-be-studying time... Paisay paisay... I HEART them all so so so so so much!!!!! Of course not because of the brands lah!! I'll treasure them all as long as they are from u ppl, even if they are from the Pasar Malam brands, ok? Lol... =)

I'd have offered to give free tuition as compensation IF I have the brain of Suok Teng or have finished studying like her & housemates. But knowing me hor, u all should know what kinda progression I'm making now lar... HAHAHA... XP

Many thanks are especially dedicated to those who have to resit PP3. I understand how stressful it must have been for u all. I'm very sorry if the celebration had made u all even more stressful than before!!!!! Sincere apologies... I have wished for the entire P105 batch to graduate together. So, we shall all be holding our mortar and prestle together this coming June, alright? Don't worry! Am sure u all can definitely make it this time!! Jia you!!! =)

I'm truly blessed for having u all... I know I am a sucky person sometimes, well, MOST of the time. I really don't deserve all the kindness and loves that u all have given me. Thanks for tolerating and forgiving me over & over again... I am very sorry if I ever made u all felt "beh song" or "tulan" with me. Hahaha.. But really, thanks for sayang-ing me so much... =)

This is my one & only birthday celebration in Glasgow with my dearest P105 batchmates. I'm cherishing every moment of it. I promise that I will save them all into my memory bank and relive these moments (minus the studying & exam parts) over & over again in the future.

Thank YOU so much!!!!! *from the bottom of my heart*

Love YOU ALL so much!!!!! I hope we can stay as close and meet up every so frequent even after we graduated!! Let's work towards this together, shall we? =)

Many many MUACKS and TIGHT HUGZ (u know what I meant, ngek ngek... )!!!!! =)

P/S. Best of luck to everyone in P105 for the upcoming degree exams!! We can do it!! Hek!! =D

[edit] - Senior CheahCheah Voon aka Ah Voon Jie Jie, if u're reading this, thanks for ur "belated" + "on-time" birthday messages as well!! XD XD

[edit # 2] - Housies, thank u all so so much!! Su Ann, thanks for the delicious Spaghetti lunch!! Also, thanks for the fantastic dinner, Xin, Voon, & Su Ann!! Am really really touched. My gratitudes towards u three are beyond description!! Even more than the calories in the Cadbury chocs u gals ate just now, okay??? Sob sob.. Want another sexy kiss kiss from me??? XD XD XD And Hansel, although I know u don't read my blog, still, thank u for the pressie & for coming just now.. =D

A vEry uSEfuL abBRevi@tIOn

The other day me & housies got very mou liu studying. Plus, it was a Friday night. So we decided to give ourselves a break and chatted in the living room.

Then we came to this topic, i.e. having guy frens who like sending confusing SMSes like "I miss you!!", "Muacks" & etc and makes u go like "Errrmm.. Okay, sweat! So now what am I supposed to reply him with???"

Ya know what I'm saying? Am sure many of u peeps have similar experiences before as well, right? Like, u don't even know if he means his words or he's simply flirting around cause u are not even close to him!! It just sounds inappropriate whatever u reply him with!

So now me & Xin have come out with a puuurfect solution. Short and simple. And tell u what, I seriously couldn't stop laughing wei!! Imagine the situation below:-

Shitty Guy: "Wish everything is well for u. Blah blah blah... I miss u!! Muacks!!"

So what are u gonna reply him with? Scroll down for the best reply of all time.. (whoa!! suspense-nya~)

Thanks everyone for the pleasant surprise last night...

Thank you all for taking time out for me even when the stress level is already high up into the sky...

Tze, the cake was L.O.V.E.L.Y!! Me heart!! Knowing u, I could picture u baking the cake under suppa stressful condition, i.e. hair tied & fringe pinned up. XD Thanks for sacrifising ur precious suppose-to-kiasu time for me... =)

And ppl, I really didn't expect anything. My brain has been rather slow lately. Plus, I was already perasan enough to post an entry asking everyone not to celebrate for me liao. Do u all really think I'd still be perasan enough to actually expect u guys to celebrate for me on erm... Yeaw's birthday????? Lol... If that's the case hor, my muka really tembok until can become tebing sungai liao la... XD XD

Anyway, really appreciate everything u guys have done for me. Thank u all very very very much... MUACKS!!!~~ (with love & saliva) XD
