Byk sibuk

The semester is getting really busy. The lab sessions are longer, therefore less time to do anything else. Have to start on my thesis a.s.a.p. Will be messing with microorganisms again. I should have been a microbiologist, I seem to have some sort of special connection with microbes haha. Even during my internship, I was assigned to the micro lab for 2 months. Plenty of journals to read. Will be heading to the National Library this Friday to carry out further research on my thesis. Boring stuff, but choice is not something I'm blessed with at the moment.The worst part, I don't know how to get to the library. Thankfully I've many uni mates that know how to. To the Fly; I'm still an 'orang Klang' la, so when it comes to KL - I'm still hopeless, so don't la always kutuk me :(

I hope I won't fall ill working with microbes again. During my internship, fell ill for 2 weeks. Yeah, was due to the microbes and partly my fault. I wanted to be a 'hero'; thought that the face mask was truly unnecessary, even though my supervisor kept reminding me to wear it at all times. As a results I got sick, I think I inhaled uncountable amount of microbes and their spores. Sometimes I'm not that smart haha.


Can't wait for the holidays. Hmm..somewhere in August :(

Unresolved

I'm glad that I've fully recovered. I had enough of the flu, cough etc.
On another note, the test turn out fine. I worried myself silly over nothing. It was an easy one - thankfully.
I've gotten my thesis title; 'Evaluation on the survival of encapsulated probiotic bacteria in simulated GI and in yoghurt'.
It's quite a tedious one. I opted for an easier one, but I was one of the many unfortunate ones that did not get the titles that we chose.
My supervisor is my former Food Microbiology lecturer; Ms. Stephanie.
She's nice and easy to work with, so I wouldn't have much problem - I hope.
It'll certainly be an energy draining and demanding semester, and I've lots of catching up to do - in terms of studies, since I wasted a week being ill.
Will be having 2 additional tests this coming Friday.
Not anxious about the Physio. Sc. 2 paper, but I am for the Food Engineering one.
Felt slightly tensed this week, but after having a rather long conversation with a friend and a night out with my old A'levels mates; they sort of eased the tension away.
Its been quite a tiring week; mentally, emotionally and especially physically. I guess its mainly due to me being unwell.
There are other matters that have been bugging me. I'm not sure whether I should be wasting so much energy pondering about it. Am struggling to find a solution to it. Maybe its not meant to be resolved? I just don't know what to do - my heart tells me to go all out, but another part of me tells me otherwise. I just can't explain the way I'm feeling right now. I'm not going through depression or anything of that sort. I just want something more, something I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to have. It gets extremely frustrating at times. I think I know the answer to it, but maybe I'm not willing to acknowledge it because its not the answer or ending that I'm looking for. So should I continue searching for other alternatives? Or should I just let go and accept the end thats meant to be? I know that God isn't giving me an answer to this one.

Sick of being sick!

I'm still on the road to recovery, and I barely studied anything for tmr's test.
Telling myself about a hundred time that 'Its (the test) only worth 5%', just doesn't seem to comfort me.
It had a slight effect during the day in uni.
However right at this very moment, alone, facing the wordy-filled-pages-of-notes; scares me to death!
Not only am I going to fail my FIRST test paper tmr, but I'll be flunking it with flying colours! Bravo!
Haih.. I hate being sick.
Stupid fever-cough-flu-sore throat! &^%%%*((*^!!@###@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to let it all out, so don't mind me.

Not in the pink of health

I'm having a horrible cold right now.
I started sneezing on Fri morning, but I never knew it would be so severe.
My nose is red and stuffy, and my voice is beginning to sound extremely sexy :P
However, I would rather have a clogged-free nose anytime of the day.
The wall of my throat hurts terribly, even though its not as painful as the sore throat.
I'll definitely be in bed early tonight, and I hope to be in top shape again by tmr.
I've missed three days of exercise, can't afford to miss another day.
If it was the fever, I would have gone for a jog still - but since its the flu, exercise can lead to lethality.
Don't believe me? Do your own research online.

Another post

I've been unimaginably lazy to blog, study or to even start on my assignment. Still feeling very much dissatisfied with the miserable 2 weeks break. Ive 2 quizzes this coming week, I'd better start studying. I've been out and about quite a lot for the few past days; mostly to feast with friends. Went to Groove Junction on Thursday, after a rather heavy dinner. It's a jazz bistro cum cafe. Great place to listen to good music and to have chit-chats with friends. A friend of mine plays there, or I would have never known or thought about checking the place out. The only complain that I got from the girls about the place was; 'How come no handsome young men?' haha.Will definitely drop by again, if everything else turns out well.

We girls, had a delightful time at Groove Junction

To be honest, the main objective of this post is to actually promote a competition held by channel V. Some of you would have already know that I'm sort of a part-time blogger for Star World, hence this is the current assignment.
Channel V will be airing a special marathon screening on the 1st season of Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency next week; 26th May -6.30pm, and 27th May - 1.30pm. Alongside with the marathon screening, channel V is organizing a competition. The competition is very simple; just get family of friends to dress or look like Janice Dickinson, or just dress extremely hot and pose! Wala! haha.. Then send in the photos to vparty@my.channelv.com before the 8th of June 2007. The winner will win awesome goodieesss!!


If anyone is interested to participate *hinting to the Fly hahaha... just give me a buzz. I'll personally take the photos for you, using my Olympus :)

Are frogs vertebrates?

Just got home from dinner at Kampong Ah Soh that's located in Puchong.
Went there with family friends for Mother's Day dinner.
According to Aunt Janet, they're famous for their Green Tea Rice set. It didn't even sound a bit delicious to me, but my mum was taken in with the whole green tea thing.
Since its Mother's Day my opinion about it isn't important, hence to Kampong Ah Soh we went.
Thank God that they had other dished without green tea in it. I love green tea as a tea only. I've tasted green tea flavoured ice-creams by Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins, and they're awful. Green tea is meant to be served just as tea, in my opinion hehe. Other than that, they taste a lil funky when their incorporated in food products.
At the restaurant, I opted for frog porridge since none of the other dishes had the word 'DELICIOUS' written over it.
The frog porridge tasted like porridge with frog meat in it haha. Nothing special.
They had various parts of the frog in the porridge, which I couldn't identify. At times, I wasn't sure what part of the frog I was putting into my mouth. One part looked like the backbone, but frogs are amphibians - they're not vertebrates rite? haha
Well I believe whatever part that was present in the porridge were edible haha.
I tried a lil of the Green Tea Rice set; the rice was blend, and the green tea soup tasted more like pepper soup. Yucks!
However mum said it tasted fine. As long she enjoyed it, I'm happy hehe.
Anyway, I would like to wish a very 'Happy and Blessed Mother's Day' to the mummies that read my blog. Even though I know only one who does hehe.

Getting busy

The first assignment for this semester was given to us by our Food Technology lecturer; Ms. Fuziah, today. Argh...
We had to select one title out of 18, and she made us decide on the spot!
We chose 'Cereal'.
We're expected to discuss about the unit operations and machineries that are involved in manufacturing cereal for the assignment.
Soon after finalizing the titles for each group, she demanded an outline for the assignment :(
She's so bossy this semester, but I've no intention to mess with her - cause she's pregnant! :P
Anyway when we completed our not-so-excellent outline, she requested to see all of the groups at a time to give us a brief idea on what is expected of us.
We were the second last grp to see her, and she did not approve our outline!
Most of the groups got thumbs up from her, except for a few - and we were one of them *boo hoo.
So I'll be staying back after class tmr to redo it with the rest of my grp members, and hopefully she'll approve it immediately.
Well I've give her some credit for being helpful. She explained quite in detailed what she wanted us to focus on and what not.

On another note, first lesson on marketing was intriguing.
Mr. Quah - the lecturer, gave us a rather bad first impression during the introduction class last Monday.
Surprisingly, he's sort of nice and funny. Hmm...maybe its too early to conclude.

The titles for our thesis will be released either tmr or next coming Monday.
Everyone is feeling a lil uptight thinking about it, because we have to decide fast and there's no guarantee that we'll get what we want.

I'm not feeling the pressure yet, but I've to admit; I'm beginning to worry - a trifle.

Whatever it is -bring it on! :P

Sappy-love-song

Yeah, i love sappy love songs. Here's one

Oh what a day

The usual 20 to 25 minutes journey up to uni became a 1 & 1/2 hours journey today, due to the heavy down pour in the morning.
I was half an hour late for class, and I was covered with rain droplets all over blek!
And not to mention, my legs were aching from the jam. Even though I was driving an auto car, it still made my right leg hurt particularly alot!
Believe me, driving up to Malacca wasn't as torturous as today.
The worst part was, I had to pee! I was so tempted to pee by the roadside, but I wasn't that desperate - fortunately haha.
Thankfully I wasn't the only late comer hehe.

After weeks of being indecisive, I've finally decided on the Marketing subject instead of Physics.
I've been studying science subjects since my secondary school days, A'levels and even till today.
Honestly, I'm getting a lil bored with science; that's one of the reason I opted for Marketing instead of Physics.
Though I've been warned by many that Marketing isn't an easy one, I'm sort of willing to take up the challenge.
Hopefully I made the right choice. If not, I'm screwed! haha
Addition to that, a lecturer informed us that we would be graduating 2 months later than the original date.
The reason; that we would have sufficient time to complete our thesis, while completing our remaining few subjects.
Its good news - i think.
Anywayz, the working life isn't that alluring or promising :P

Glad to be back in uni, but I do have some mixed feelings about it.
I mentioned to a friend yesterday that I've like a love-hate relationship 'thing' towards uni haha.
Sometimes I enjoy it, at times I just dread it.
There are many reasons to why I feel as such, but lets not go there haha.

Today was quite a day.
I think I better start going through the marketing notes haha...right :P

Its not impossible with Him

Uni will be resuming this coming Monday.
I'm excited to get back to uni, however a part of me is a lil reluctant.
I'm enjoying the holidays, but its time to get back to uni before my transformation into a bum completes *tee hee.
It'll be indeed one hectic semester, and I hope I'll survive through it.
The final examination results for the previous semester have been released; I got plenty of Bs.
Umm...actually all Bs except for my co-op paper, one miserable A.
I'm disappointed, yet thankful. I'm sure it would have been worst, if it wasn't for God's grace and favour.
At the same time, I shouldn't take God's grace and favour for granted; which I tend to do frequently. And since a new semester is begining, I should approach it with a new attitude :)
Its not going to be easy, cause it takes great effort to walk the talk.
Life is tough, I dare not deny - but there's Jesus; who makes the journey less bumpy :)

Bad day

Hmm...maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go red.
But its way too late to regret now haha.
If I'm in the mood later, I'll post a pic of my red head.
However for now, I'm feeling a lil down. My Analytical Chemistry marks is such a huge let down la.
I bet the rest will be too.
What a day...

I love red

I went for a haircut today. My hair is slightly shorter and a lil more layered.
Wanted to colour my hair in the evening, but due to an unexpected event; I've to get it done tmr instead.
I'm going red again haha.
Definitely not the striking type of red :p
