Here's a piece of advice. Planning is everything!! Please la plan your time wisely. Plan ahead!! Dumbass who don't how to plan ahead and yet didn't inform that she has IELTS test today. I mean if you got whatever test, at least inform la. So hard to inform earlier ah? And let me be that stupid girl who constantly calls you just to have the robot picking up the calls. If it is not for the assignment, you can just go jump down the sea and die. Save everyone the troubles. Less one annoying people on Earth and the world shall be a happier place to live in.

I'm supposed to meet up with Sha after Chem class to discuss on the Chem assignment that is due this Friday. She did not turn up for Chem class nor inform me that she will be late. This kind also people also got. Loves to make people worried of her. Constantly wondering where the heck did she go this time. I must be considering you as one of my friends to be worry of your whereabouts. We're all living alone, far from families so I guess you watch my back, I watch your back. But it seems that things doesn't goes this way round. Whatever... This is not the first time you stood me up.

Went to Giant after that to stock up some food before going for the holidays. I've been finding for peel off mask for some time now. I don't know whether is my resources limited or what but so far I've managed to find one only which is from Garnier. I don't do monthly facial treatment or pampering my face with lots of various products. I did the most basic one only which is washing twice a day. Some days when I'm a little hardworking, perhaps some toner and moisture with night cream at night. After seeing the guy with such a nice face complexion, I'm ashamed of myself. How a guy have better and fairer skin than me, a girl?

So I promise myself to take better care of my face. Well, I've been doing masks and scrub but I've never tried peel off mask. It intrigue me. Lets just face the sad truth. The whiteheads and blackheads on the nose, I often squeezed them out with all might. It's disgusting! But I kinda like it also. #confused It's like yellow snake gliding out of your skin. So they said peel off mask can help me in that area. Information on the back of the pack said that it is a real "anti-dull skin' solution to gently remove impurities and dead skin cells that darken complexion. SO DOES THAT MEAN BY USING THIS I CAN HAVE FAIRER SKIN COLOR?! I might use it for the whole body then!! It costs me RM 4.75 (N.P RM 5.80) for 2 times application.

The consistency is concentrated jelly-like

 

Zombie in the house!!

Happy liao lo...

 

For first time user, I would say the product is not bad. Maybe it's because the product is in yellow color, so can't see much of the whiteheads and dead cells. I applied some of the gel on the heels of my foot, areas where there are lots of dead skin. When I peeled it off, the mask is greyish in color. And amazingly, the rough area on my heels becomes smoother. It shows that the products does actually what it says.

Bought ready-to-cook chicken from Giant. Pop them into the microwave and cook my rice. Sipek delicious. OMG! No need to take away chap fan already. More ways to save money. $.$

Time: 9.00 pm
Mood : Disappointed
Called home to see when's Mousy gonna find my books. This is the hardest / hateful part. I need to ask and ask and ask. I hate asking people for help but I don't have choice this time. She thought I'm too free nothing to do ah. It left me so disappointed coz when people ask you for help, you tried your best but not when it's your turn.

Time : 10.00 pm
Mood: Lazy
I'm so lazy do my Chem revision. Too lazy that I rather stare at the laptop doing nothing coz the internet connection was so damn slow and draw stupid patterns on paper. This bad character of mine will be the death of me.

Time : 12.00 am
Mood: Happy
OMG! Goaty helped me find the books! In cloud nine! For a 11 year old, he struggled with those mathematical and biological terms but still he doesn't say he don't want to do it. Shall treat him with bak kua (pork jerky). Feel so bad for him mum as the two blur blur one help me find books in the middle of the night. Perhaps, Mousy don't understand but I don't purposely want to disturb her but I really need those books and I can't go back and take it myself as I don't have long breaks anymore. Skype with mum till almost 2 am, accompanying her packed her luggage. Mum said, Snakey was the first to pack. He seems so excited for the trip.

Wish me all the best!

Thanks for reading!

I think I can afford some time on this entry since I'm on my schedule. Managed to get Algebra and Trigo and also Chemistry notes done yesterday. Yesterday was a not bad day. Managed to get my sleep at 4 in the afternoon and slept till almost 11 at night. I'm not a pig, okay?! Since I don't sleep at night so I suppose I have that privilege to sleep that long in the morning. Don't judge! My sleeping pattern is still a mess. I haven't sleep since last night thou. Don't feel sleepy. Just bored. And you probably notice the insta corner at the left. Yeah, I was bored so I make another insta account. It was hard finding for a nice suitable username. Why all nice names are taken?! At first, I decided to go for 'chubbykaren' but then it sounds so childish and I opt for 'karenstone' since my surname is technically stone but it was not available. I've also tried 'colorfulkaren', 'karenrock', 'karencarrot' and a few more. Hump! After hours, finally found a decent one.

Obviously I can't go for 'karenchiok' as it is my original account. And please save you energy to go and search for me and pressing the button add coz I don't add there. It's a very private account with only 7 followers who are all family members and closest friends. That also was caught posting up photos on Insta and was forced by my friends to add them on spot. Heh. The reason why it is on private is because I like the idea of posting random and stupid photos of myself without fearing that someone's gonna make bad comments out of it. Trust me, there's lots of silly photos in there. One probably wonder now that since I have them private so why make a public one now. Here's the problem. I tend to write long caption on my photos of this and that and I have this feeling that my friends find it annoying. So with this public account, I hope I can write long and very long caption here. If you find it annoying, then don't follow.

On my coming getaway, I'm ready as hell! I've cleared most of my phone memory which include installing some useless game apps and delete 200+ photos to make way for the new ones. Obviously, the ones I kept are photos of Xiao Ai that I don't have the heart to delete. They are all so cute. I think I'll be capturing more photos using the phone than the camera itself coz it's just convenient to snap by phone. Camera so ma fan coz I have to switch it on. And some more, it's so big and heavy! I've downloaded the Panorama apps too. Hehehe. As for Thai language, I think there no need an apps for that. I'm pretty okay with Thai already. *thick skin Few words here and there, I think we'll survive.

For the trip also, I've purchased the monopod and the eye lens. I haven't see the things yet coz Mousy went to take them in behalf of me. This means more selfie!! And no more weird orientated photos. =( I've seen a few monopods that are in the market. I don't particularly like those that need extra shutter. I find it hideous with the extra wire hanging out from the phone. I also don't like the Bluetooth shutter because I can easily misplaced it. You know la. Even sometimes I misplace my mp3 and hope that I can phone my mp3 just like how I purposely dial my phone when it's lost. The one that I bought comes with wireless Bluetooth. Yeap, it's a little pricy but considering it's monopod + shutter, no complain la. I'll show you when I get my hands on them.

Nothing happens here yesterday. I basically eat, sleep and shit only. But there's another thing going on at home. Tigress went to a week Math camp. That bloody stubborn girl refused to bring a phone along and makes everyone worries as whether she's good or not or when is she arriving. As stubborn as an ox. Memang cari pasal one. People ask don't go but still want go. Came back with a vampire bite on her neck. She said it was bitten by an ant. Padan muka. What makes me angry is that when she told it to the teacher, the teacher not only didn't try to find medication for her on spot yet ask her to wait till they finish the camp. Bloody hell. This kind of teacher also got! Can go jump down sea and die.

Mum's also as busy as a bee yesterday. Aunty Kim Po was admitted again in the hospital for her hepatitis. Not to say anything but that day when Uncle Ku Kong passed away she didn't even come to pay her last respect. Family dramas. I wonder if there's a family that is drama free in the world. There are things that I'm aware with but I just prefer to remain silent. As you grew, you see more of people's bad side than their good side. Ugly truth. Humpppp... Sometimes people can be that selfish. I seen lots and to think that my journey in life is still so long, I think I'll wear sunglass more often. Sick of life.

As for 4 pm, I had 5 followers already. Yeay!

*claps hands

 

Thanks for adding!

Infatuation

The clock at the very right bottom corner of the lappy shows 2.14 am. But there's still stack of papers, piles of files on my desk with stationary everywhere. I have to get my works done before the holidays. 'Have to" is an understatement. I MUST get it done!! Coming back to Malaysia by then, Bio test and Computing Essential test shall greet me that very week. I've already photocopied my lecture notes to bring along. Imagine in such a beautiful scenery with people sunbathing by the beach, hot chicks in bikinis, playing in the water and me, on the other hand, is occupied with my notes. DAMN! Such a pitiful state.

What do people usually pack for beach holidays? I haven't packed mine. Sunblocks, hats, shorts, bikinis etc. Since I'm going straight from KL, I shall go empty handed (by means my clothes only). Let mom does the worries for me. Hahaha. I do have plans in mind. I wanna take photos of the beach view there. Something like family photo and I shall compile it make a beautiful album with something like wedding album concept. So it's like each and every holidays we go, we have a nice album for it. Can't wait!

Nowadays, people no longer keep photo albums. Do you still? I can't remember the last time I went to print out photos to keep them in an album. It was so way back. Photos that were taken from camera are obviously being kept in the memory cards. We just have lots of memory cards that are not being properly arranged and kept. Shall do something about it. Yeah. As for photos that are taken by the phone, I have Camera360 cloud storage to store them for me. So I'm not worry if my phone needs reset or something. Well, Facebook also come in the picture as I store most my photos in private albums. Just for me to view.

I'm doing my Algebra and Trigonometry notes and this particular face keeps popping up. We bumped into each other with eye contact that barely lasted 5 seconds and now I can't get him off my mind! Urgh!! Very annoying when I'm trying my best to finish up early. He's a guy with a perfect face complexion that I'm jealous off. The hell? As smooth as tau fu fa. How can that be?! And also he quite smart = leng cai = cute. Hehehe. I'm trying not to enter the fairy tales zone but obviously I'm failing. Nope, I refuse to admit that he's another crush of mine. Here's a promise, I will not stalked him at FB like how I did last time. Back then, in KBU days I had a crush. *note the past tense Those silly days where you tried your best to peep at your crush who's sitting behind you with the corners of your eyes, noticing his every move. Those days....

Turning 20 this year (not yet reach) I guess the obvious change that happens to me is the change in mindset where you no longer try to find your other half or dream of happily ever after. What bullshit is that? Besides, what's the purpose of finding Mr Right when obviously most of them are younger than you? I think I'm the oldest here. Well, perhaps there's few more like me. But I wouldn't bother to go ask their age. I believe in fate. When the right time comes, it will eventually happen. By that time, I hope it's a happy one for me. So for now, back to studying.

I've been wondering. As one aged each year, what changes happen except from the very obvious fact that the age is increasing or perhaps wrinkles start to form. Become more mature? Changes in perspective in life? Have more realistic goals? You know when you celebrate birthday each year, after blowing the candles on the cake, things remain the same. You're still on the table, surrounded by family and friends, perhaps, holding a knife in hands. Imagine if there's a fairy godmother there and when you blew the candles on the cake, wrinkles started to form, your attire changes from flirty dress to business suit.. You know that kind of obvious changes that can be seen.

Right now, I'm only focusing on my goals to finish my foundation. No more temporary infatuation or crush on guys. That is for teens. I'm at the end of teens days already. I don't need fairy tales, prince or princess anymore. I just need to get this done and proceed for my degree. No more sleepless night, thinking of HIM in your mind and stalking his FB. Thinking back, it sounds stupid. Anyway, it's worth remembering coz it's my first. And aside from my blog readers, only Kitty knows who. Shhh.. That's is a secret to keep.

Best advice ever...

 

Thanks for ...

I don't know what to thanked you guys for today...

Happiness

I spot beaches. I see tourists. I sense happiness. Happiness is when you're with your loved ones, right? Putting the pieces together, I'm happy to say that we're going to Phuket! Ecstatic! Some might say it's crazy to plan a holiday in less than a week. But if you can afford, why not? Amazing things happen at the least you expected. I'm suppose to go back home this week to take my books and stuffs. But since we're going for a holiday, there's no point of going back. Can't believe I say this, but at this point, my head is filled with ideas of how to get my books here instead of me planning how my getaway would be. Mum is so gonna carry the book all the way to Phuket for me.

More happiness on the way. On top of that, the whole family is coming to KL in June. Together with Grandma! Grandma can finally go holidays. She's been hinting a few times that she wanna go holidays but then with her condition, she can't really walk the whole day with the rest of us. I often feel bad enough for making empty promises to bring her for holidays. Hehehe. Bad granddaughter. She can finally comes. I guess when you're old and weak, you still want to travel and see the world. Explore the world while you still can. 

I'm suppose to be sitting for my Chem test the week that they're coming. At first, I was so sad coz they're coming for like 3 days only and my test is on Saturday. It means that I'm not able to spend all my time with them. Things got better when Ms Annie changed the date of the test to earlier one week. There's pros and cons. Bad part is that I have lesser time for revisions. But at as long as I can spend time with my family, nothing matters.

Before going for holidays, you need to book tickets, right? I suppose everyone here knows how to book a ticket. Not to complain but my lao ma and lousy mousy (it rhymes!) don't know how to book a ticket. Well, maybe not mum. She's just lazy. She used to book tickets in the past. I guess since we're all big already, she won't bother more. Okay, so Mousy don't know how to book a ticket. Seriously? You're 18 and you can't do things as simple as booking a ticket.

I see this as a failure. You can't be expecting me to do all the booking all the times. What if I'm gone one day? One cannot be that dependent till become so useless. I refuse to rely 100% on others. I guess that's bad habit of mine. I hate to ask people for help. Perhaps I'm used to being dependent. No doubt the feeling of being able to dependent on others is good. No worries, no stress. Who don't want? I also want to hang onto others. But what happens when that person decided to left? You'll be as good as nothing. With much reluctance coz they disturb my nap, I booked the tickets.

The last piece of happiness is left for December. After my finals, we'll be going to Bangkok again. Talking about Bangkok, my mind automatically bring back those memories of pushing my ways through the small alley, waking up early in the morning to find the Dim Sum uncle, non stop of eating waffle sausage and also endless shopping. However, we'll be there for 4 days only minus the two travelling days. Haih, how can we finish shopping in 4 days?! For Platinum only, we need at least 2 days. What about B Gallery, City Plaza and Indera Plaza? This means no sleeping!!

Blame this on UCSI la. The arrangement was made this way coz damn UCSI for not having everything layout properly. Timetable for finals will not be out until end of November. Even thou I'll be only taking 4 subject the next semester which means maximum of 4 days of exams but it is a gamble that we do not wish to participate. The finals is expected to start on 7 December till 23th December. So only after that, we're going to Bangkok. At least, I'm going. *grins This also means we'll be celebrating Christmas in Bangkok. *high five

I'll be busy with labs and assignments by June. I guess after this entries my blog shall be doomed to darkness once again till August. But I'll try to sneak some time in between to post entries on my Phuket holidays. That's my promise. Speaking about Phuket, I imagine white, sandy beaches with clear, pristine water. So be prepare for lots of photos! 

 

Thanks for dropping by!

That's a piece of happiness too...

P for Panda

Haven't sleep since last night. Was busy finishing my Algebra and Trigonometry's tutorials. My sleeping routine was a mess since I'm so free this semester that I tend to sleep in the afternoon longer than at nights. Sad to say this but I've gained weight, like a lot. I think it's because of my sleeping pattern. For instance, my class today finished at 9.30 am and I would often buy food for lunch and dinner on my way back. Reaching home, I bathed, eat my lunch which would be around 11 at that time and went off for nap till 6 or 7 in the evening. I would later then have my dinner at 8. After dinner, I would be studying a lil and by 12 am I would get hungry again. At this time normally, I would have a cup of hot Milo and some biscuits and resume studying + watching dramas till 4 in the morning. This is a very bad habit to continue on. I should really do something about it.

For news updates, I don't think that much to say here. As on Brianna's case, the dog was being shot by arrows, public demands for justice by signing petitions and filing police reports on that man. As far as I know, the man was not being charged coz apparently he was one of the military somebody which gives him the authority to possess bows and arrows. So this proves that as long as you are a 'somebody' you can simply owns a gun or bow and arrows and just simply kills animals. Bear in mind that it was SELF DEFENSE and you do it just to protect yourself. *applause Besides, one should perhaps consider being in the military forces. That way, you can kill anyhow you like. No legal actions will be taken coz you're a military. You are bound to have weapons and such. But if Brianna really suffers that much, perhaps it's a good thing that she dies. No more pain and misery.

Today, as 21st May 2014 is a memorable day. Two giant pandas, Fu Wa and Feng Yi had arrived Malaysia or more specifically Zoo Negara at around 8 in the morning. They are expected to be quarantined for a month before being introduced to the public. Malaysian and Chinese governments signed a deal on June 15 2012 for Feng Yi and Fu Wa to be loaned to Malaysia for 10 years to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries this year. It reminds me of my 6-months break when me and Tigress will be in front of the TV sharp at 2 pm without fail to watch Pandamonium on Animal Planet. It's a documentary on breeding, research and conversation facility on pandas in Wolong, China. It covers the lives of the pandas and the staff there. Thinking back, we feel so excited when seeing the pandas gave birth thou it's only on the TV. It feels as if we're there celebrating the joy too thou who knows how far back is the documentary. And also the frustration of the staffs there when the breeding fails. Feels so stupid. Hahaha.. Know what? Pandas can get aggressive if they don't like their arranged partner. They're choosy when it comes to finding a mate. Me and Tigress often expressed our jealousy when the caretakers of this wonderful creatures can hug and play with them. Now that they're here, there's actually chances to met eye to eye with them. EXCITED!!

No more RACISM!!

OMG! Panda paradise! Me want all!

 

Despite the disappearance of MH370, ties between two countries remain strong. Hmmm. Regarding MH370, the search is still ongoing. This incident has really thought both the governments as well as related parties to not take something for granted. The most obvious changes that can be seen after the tragedy is that flight security has been tightened as well as personal information when booking for flights.In the past, it was so easy to book an international flight. They just need your birth date and everything is settled within minutes. In the past, as in few years back, if you don't have your passport at that time, you can't book a flight. Perhaps the requirements are a little troublesome as when there's fares promotion, you can't straight away book a flight coz you need a passport and it happens that your passport has expired. So that explains the delay to go and get a passport and when you've obtain the passport, the promotion might ends or there's no more seats available. What I can say is that requirements are back now, for good. It's human nature to take things for granted. Just like the Lahad Datu incident last year. Ever since independence, Malaysia is in peace. No wars or outbreaks. So I guess police officers that have undergone training have never put into practice what they've learned because there's no need for it. So when the terrorists attacked, for the first time they would be put their learning into practice. That's when things gone haywire. Nevertheless, I don't wish for that to happen anymore. It's a sad sight to see dead bodies all around.

And also, Mum has received her flowers. She loves it! What I can say is that everyone is awed with the flowers. It is just as what being said. Amazingly, they do really close up when being watered. Mum's surprised when I told her that it's a real flower. I thought the flower will never arrived and I've been conned. Thank god it arrived but without my balance RM 5 as I banked in RM 60 and the flowers only cost me RM 55. I can't pursue this much further as how the hell am I going to go confront the seller. I don't even know who. I'll just have to let this pass this time. A good lesson to learn. As promised, here the page -> Frozen Flower It's a perfect gift for birthdays and surprise. What I'm not fond of is the size. It's freaking small for the price I've paid. But being unique comes with a price. That's the price I've actually paid for, for being unique.

Ignored the poor quality of photos. This is the best I've received.

Mousy really sucks at photography

 

It's two and my battery is running out.

Come again! *wink

Bye!!

Brianna, the dog that was being shot with arrows dies and the man might not being charged ='(

Shooting arrows at dog

Attended my first class of Computing Essential. Still don't see the reasons to why I'm taking the subject. I don't denied the importance of technologies in my life as I, myself depends 24/7 on technologies. My alarm clock is my phone, my daily class schedule is in my phone and I'm on FB more than 8 hours a day to get rid of my loneliness. I rely much on my laptop to update me on current news happening across the globe and I blog as my diary. By being digitally illiterate do have it advantages but am I suppose to know what's the differences between a tablet, laptop, netbook and ultrathin? It might helps in future if my current laptop breaks down and I need a new one. But other than that, what do I need it for? How can you expect me to know the functions of hard disk or the RAM? I began to wonder whether I'm taking Computer Programming course or Foundation in Science? You can't expect me to willingly to be in that class with a smiling face and enthusiastic character coz I'm not! I'm fucking blur as hell! It feels like Ms Veronica suddenly talk some alien language. On the bright side, it might be helpful if I don't manage to graduate again (by that I meant proceed to degree in Pharmacy), I might be a gadget saleswoman. *note the sarcasm

And the fact that I need to waste RM 40 to buy book just for the subject that will be using for only 4 months. Urghh. Such a pain in the ass. This shall be my first purchase ever. I don't see why I need to buy books when library has everything I need. Why waste the money? UCSI should perhaps consider having more useful subjects for Science streamed students for the balanced credit hours. Like 'Physiological Science' course or something. At least something related to medic field so it would be more useful in future for the students. It doesn't make things any better to know that there's as high as 70% rate of failing this subject. I'm not gonna screw my foundation again! Count me on that. Talking about this, the problems regarding my transcript is all done. I managed to take the D out of there but the course's name still remain. I'm not fond of the idea having it there for nothing but apparently that's the best Registrar can offers. Take what you're offered and don't complain more.

As for this week news, Terengganu's Menteri Besar, Datuk Ahmad Said had resigned. What happen was a joke to laugh on for the coming weekends. On 13 May, Ahmad Said resigned from his post and hours later quit UMNO. Quite a drama and chaos for Terengganu people. Some said he was a traitor and bla bla. Drama ended when Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib intervened. Personally, I think Terengganu people is more saddened to the fact that there's no more free ebooks after this. Hahaha. The ebooks after all was given under Ahmad Said ruling and now that we have a new Menteri Besar, things might work the other way round. So let us sit back and watch what the new MB, Datuk Ahmad Razif gotta offered.

2008 - 2014

 

As for few days back, netizens are angered by the action of a man who allegedly shot arrows at a partially blind dog. The poor dog was being shot twice with arrows after it stood outside the man's gate. The female dog who was named Brianna, is estimated to be 12 years of age, appears to have hip dysplasia which explain the reason why she doesn't run away. The dog was believed to be a Rottweiler, was found to have anemia and is suffering from tick fever and heartworm. It is believed that it has lost it's way home as the dog was found with a collar on its neck.

 

 

It's sad to see that clearly that man has no remorse on his actions. The fact that he can stand proudly for his picture to be taken shows how he feels about it. As what one of the netizens said, "Shooting arrows at dogs? Are we barbaric?" I'm more saddened to the fact that Malaysia laws on animal cruelty are so loose. The case is being probed under Section 429 of the Penal Code for mischief by killing or maiming any animal of the value of RM 25 and above. Those found guilty of the offence face a maximum jail term of 5 years. That is all Malaysia laws gotta offered. It feels as it they are encouraging the act of cruelty. What is a nation if we support cruelty and animal abuse?

 

Here in Malaysia we don't have any government bodies that protect these harmless little creatures. We don't have SPCA to fight for justice for these abused dogs and cats. We only have a bunch dedicated animal lovers that are willing to spend their time and effort to obtain justice, care and love for these creatures. However, I'm glad to the fact that in this time of need and support, Malaysians regardless of races and political stands unite as one. Whether you're a Malay or a Chinese or an Indian, we do all agreed that this man has no right to shoot arrows at the dogs regardless of what he claims to do. He claimed to be protecting his children. Beg your pardon but what can a partially blind dog with a hip dysplasia do to your kids?

 

This is what being caught in the act. What about those behind the cameras? We don't know how many more dogs and cats out there that are being mistreated. We should for once and for all put a stop at this kind of act. Perhaps, more strict laws should be amended. But it all depends on the hands of the law makers. Would they amend stricter laws for animals abuser? That is what I'm waiting for. For them to realize that laws isn't all about humans but to animals too. I shall be waiting for the day where animals abuser would be facing with harsher punishment thou there's like 0.0001% chances of that happening.

 

 

Last night or the previous two days ago, when they, the volunteers of MDDB rescued Brianna, they have problems admitting the dog to the vet. For some reason, some particular vets just don't wanna take her in coz she's full of mites. Currently, she's admitted at one of MDDB regular veterinary clinics. The vet says her blood is as thin as water. MDDB pledged public to help to see Brianna through. Donations can be done to those following details that I've attached below.

The fine art of Malaysian debate

Good morning. It's 7.30 in the morning here in Malaysia. The sky is bright and sunny for the day. Today, we're celebrating Wesak Day. In another words, it's a public holiday. Since I can't sleep, I shall share this here with you guys.

The fine art of Malaysian debate.

written by Marina Mahathir

 

Before we go further deep, remember, it's all about who shouts first and loudest; it's not about facts or logic.

In light of recent events and with the lack of guidance from up top on how to conduct ourself in an argument, I thought I would volunteer some tips on How to Win an Argument in Malaysia.

1. Decide what stance you want to take on something. It doesn't have to be based on facts or logic, just what you felt when you woke up this morning, especially if you got up on the wrong side of the bed.

2. Don't consult anyone on the facts of the matter. What matters is how you feel about it. The grumpier it makes you feel, the better.

3. I take that back. Do consult your boss about it. If he looks doubtful, persuade him that he doesn't have to do the arguing, you will do it. It'll make him look serene, if somewhat vacant.

4. Pick on a target. Ensure that they are people who are unlikely to be able to fight back. The best targets are those whom most of us would never noticed until you point them out. This is what makes you a pioneer.

5. Fire the first salvo and make sure the media hears it. Don't write it down, just shout it out. If they look blank, i's only because they don't understand what you're saying. If anyone says you don't make sense, it's only because they brains are in the wrong place.

6. Watch the ensuing hoo-hah. With glee.

7. If anyone says you don't know the law, ignore it. You are not concerned with the laws of mere earthlings. Even thou occasionally, you do aspire to be an earthling lawmaker.

8. Get your mates to shout out variations of the same thing you just said. This will make it sound as if a lot of people agree on the same thing. They don't have to sound nice and polite. That's for wimps.

9. While you're at it, take a swipe at any other group that has the temerity to look askance at what you say. Women, for example. Women really should just shut up and put out. Whatever did we give them the vote for?

10. Meanwhile, assure the boss that everything's being taken care of. The media and everyone's talking about it everyday. You could never get this many column inches by doing the same old, make nice stuff.

11.If anyone has the cheek to say you're talking nonsense and are not worth commenting on, try to act as if you don't care. But make sure the media knows what you think about it when you don't care.

12. If the public thinks other people make more sense than you, tell them they are confused. Confused is what everyone else is. You, on the other hand, are crystal clear. they are wrong.

13. Make sure none of the voices that sound different from you get heard. Who need such cacophony anyway? Yours is the only harmonious one there is. So, make sure that the papers and TV only air your views. They need to sell anyway, the poor things.

14. Never enter into a debate except through statements in the media. And try not to get on the liberal colonial language media, even the one owned by Arabs. That was a muff-up, sending that young fellow who doesn't speak very well to that TV station. Who knew that they would send some slick, smooth-talking chap up against him?

15. Grand media gestures, especially if they're TV-friendly, are the way to go. Those bum-shaking dudes a few years ago were really inspiring.

16. If anyone outside the country dares to complain about what you're saying, tell them to butt out. This is Malaysia. We are different. Never mind if we still want to have the same mobile phones, TVs, handbags and cars as anyone else in the world. Get it right, we are different.

17. That doesn't mean that anyone within the country is allowed to be different though. No way. How can we have harmony if everyone is different? No, we must all be on, how do you say it, the same sheet! In fact, if we can all look the same, even better. But we'll start with thinking the same first.

18. If our foreign brethren start saying that we haven't got it right, ignore them. They may be able to read our holy texts like they're reading the newspaper but that doesn't mean they know anything. Why don't they just stick to getting oil out of the ground and leave is alone?

19. And those foreign brethren who are laughing at us, obviously they're colonial stooges and have breathed the air in the West for so long, it's gone to their heads. It's Malaysian haze they should all be breathing! Why do you think our brains work this way?

20. History? Who cares about history? We are making history by being the first country to create problems where none exist. Who else can claim that?

Happy arguing!

Just the right time to go to bed. Bye. Nitez. At the mean time, go learn the art of debating.

Mami's Day

Everyone has a mom. So do I. My mami is the greatest mom in the whole wide universe. And I love her so much. My mami loves gardening. She likes to plants lots and lots of beautiful flowers. Her favorites are orchids and roses. My mami is the kindest people I've ever meet. She always encourage us to be kind and humble. On this Mother's Day, I wanna wish my mami, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!". I love you, mami!!

Me and Mami!

 

After 19 years

 

Such a lame thing to write. Lol! Primary school essay. I've finished re-watching Gods Of Honour. A drama about Chinese deities which include Nezha (the Third Lotus Prince), Yang Jian (ErLang Shen)and LeiZhenZi (Thunder God). The story begins when Lady Lin or Lin Shi was pregnant for 3 years 6 months before giving birth to a ball of flesh. Li Jing, the Pagoda-wielding Heavenly King or her hushband thought that his wife had given birth to a demon and attacked the ball with his sword. The ball split open and Nezha jumped out as a boy instead of an infant. He could speak, walk and fight immediately after birth. Those wanted to watch, the link is HERE !

The drama is the adaption from the novel Fengshen Bang (also known as Investiture of teh Gods or Creation of the Gods), Nezha's childhood was different from his two older brothers, Muzha and Jinzha. Since born, his father despite him, Due to his naughtiness, he was sent to temple to stay. Her mother would accompany him there, teaching him how to write even thou she's illiterate. Late King Zhou later had a dream that Nezha would killed his son so he ordered Li Jing, the General to kill his own son. Li Jing is known for his loyalty to his king and country. With much persuasion from his wife, they left Nezha alone to defend himself from the hungry tigers at the Tiger Mountains.

Amazingly, Nezha survived and grew up with Yang Jian (three eyed boy) and LeiZhenZi (flying boy). Many incidents happen in between. That's not my prime focus. In an incident, Nezha killed the third son of the East Sea Dragon King. Dragon King threatened to flood Chentang Pass and report Nezha to the Jade Emperor. To save his family and the people of Chentang Pass, Nezha committed suicide himself by craving up his own flesh and dismembering his bones to return to his parents in repayment for the debt of his birth, bones back to his father and flesh back to his mother. If you wanna know more on the drama, go watch it yourself. The link I've attached have English subtitles coz like you, I'm a banana too. The most touching part in the drama is where Nezha killed himself and the part where Lady Lin died due to fox's poison. I weep and weep at both parts.

For this Mother's Day, I just wanna give my salute to all mothers out there for their love and patience. Lady Yin does not give up on Nezha even thou he's naughty and stubborn. Even after Nezha had committed suicide, she found ways to bring Nezha back to life. She built him a temple for his soul to rest before being reborn after 3 years. In the duration of 3 years, the temple became very well known and grew vastly because Nezha granted miracle cures to the sick and the crippled. However, Nezha's statue was then being destroyed by his step-mother. Lady Lin then went to beg Taiyi Zhenren who later then used lotus roots to reconstruct a human body for Nezha soul. Personally, I think Lady Lin wants to pay her debt towards Nezha for abandoning him when he's small. She paid all her attention and efforts on Nezha till the day she died.

My message here is that mothers would go all out to protect their child no matter how naughty or stubborn they are. So appreciate your mum when they're still here. For one, I'm definitely not an easy child to care. This little girl here whose not that little girl anymore, used to be naughty and mischievous too. She would often fought with her siblings, creating mess and chaos everywhere. Yet, her mom would still enters her room by night to take a look at her. There was this one incident where she fought with her mum that she was so angry that she pushed all her furniture to the back of the door to prevent her mother from entering. With all her might, her mum still pushed her way in leaving cuts in her hands just to put cream on her daughter blistering hands.

Mothers have eyes in the backs of our heads.

Over all our thoughts there hangs a moon.

The womb of our creator sends its light

Heavenward, to brood upon our night,

Essence of love distilled into a tune,

Rising with a kiss above our beds

 

For this Mother's Day, I bought Mami flowers, frozen flowers to be specific. The special thing about these flowers are that they bloom when the environment is cold and dry and close when the weather is wet and warm within seconds. Frozen flower is said to symbolized everlasting loves as they can last for 10 years. They come in various color. The best thing about frozen flowers are that they do not need watering, fertilizer and sunlight. Minimal amount of care needed.

 

Some might say, "Where got such thing?" No need water where can live. Must be plastic. Let me tell you that as what they're advertising, it is said that the flowers are real. It is a type of chrysantheMUM (which makes it more suitable for MUM on Mother's Day) that are processed using frosting technology to sustain the softness and moisture of the flower. They are fully imported on Taiwan. The flowers will not wilt because they have been frosted. It is recommend to water the flower 3-5 times only a week. How convenient! The best part is that one need not to worry if they forget to water the flower coz frozen flower can last more than a month without watering.

 

The drawbacks are that they are not sold in seeds. They came in pots, nicely arranged. Since it's frozen, they will no longer grow. Furthermore, it is an indoor plant which means it does not require sunlight. It is advisable to not expose it under sunlight directly for more than 10 minutes or they will get burnt. They can be put in an air-con room as the are meant to be hassle free and fit for modern living.

 

 

It seems like it's just too good to be true, hor? I've already paid for the flowers. Just waiting for them to delivery to our front door. Yeah. It will be a late Mother's Day gift. I just hope it will arrive. I'll be devastated if I got scam. Not because of the amount of money that I've paid, thou it's quite pricy la but I'll be damned for not doing anything for Mother's Day. Mousy said Mum's already nosy at her for not giving her anything. Mousy just have to keep her mouth shut until the flowers arrived. This gift will be a sharing gift from me and Mousy. Finger cross. It better arrive. In good condition and fast. I originally wanted the heart-shaped pot one but they're out of stock. So I'll go with the Candy Jar one. Bo bian. Too last minute. I'll shall update more on this Frozen Flower which seems to good to be true if it arrives.

 

What is my that small little flower pot compare to what Mami has done for me and the rest of us. It's just a token of appreciation to show her that she's being appreciated. Just a small flower pot to make her day. Her dedication, love and time are priceless. I'll can never repay her for that. Before I end, here's a poem (not mine) to all amazing mothers out there!

 

Mothers are the place where love

Emerges from the earth,

And happiness rings out like bells

In honor of our birth.

 

Mothers are the sun that lights

For life our inner sky,

So we may know that we are loved

And need not question why.

 

Mothers are the moon that shines

Upon our black despair,

So even when we weep, we know

That someone's always there.

 

Whatever fear, or stress, or pain

Might them to anger move,

We know that underneath the storm

We have, always, their love.

 

Happy Mother's Day!!

Love you, Mum!
 

Mami first ever selfie.

BFFs

I guess by now one should already know that I don't have many close friends. By close friends, I meant friends that you know you can talk to them almost anything. I think my close friends can be counted using fingers. LOL! Yeah. That much only. We're basically friends since small except Annie, Kitty and Wee Kiat. We've been to the same kindergarten, same primary school and also the same high school. I studied in a kebangsaan school which means majority of the students are Malays and we're the minority. Like really minority of about 15 people only and the numbers reduced when we stepped on high school. So we really stick together as much as we can. But then, as you grow older, dramas come. And the numbers of BFFs reduced again.

I was in hometown for almost 3 weeks and at the same time so are some of my BFFs. It's time to yam cha and catch up with what's ongoing. Went to Asia Signature on 23 April with Wei Qi jie and Daruneee. At the same time, went out with Dylan too after not talking to him for almost a year. Blame that on social media, Twitter which sparks the argument. I think that's the first argument we had. We never fought that long before. It just doesn't seem right without talking to Dylan. He's going for Singapore National Service for 2 years. Will not meeting him for a long 24 months. *cries By the time we meet again, perhaps he'll have Singapore lang girlfriend already. That time he'll forget his this girlfriend already. =(

 

The next day Pre Tea Q pulok with Lynn.

 

Met up again on 30th April for the last time before the holidays end with Alili, future accountant.

Here we have future PR, Pharmacist, Accountant and Finance & Investment manager.

From the left: Alili, chubby girl, Lynn, Dylan and Wei Qi.

I super love this photo coz Wei Qi asked everyone to mimic "Karen's face"

 

Had Japanese Fried Rice with Tempura for RM 17.90

Bloody expensive for 3 pieces of prawns, shredded egg and rice cooked with soya sauce

No drinks!

 

Selfie time!!

 

 

To Dylan,

Good luck. All the best. Become Singapore lang already, don't forget me here.

See you in two years time. And don't use shortcut!!

 

I'm super productive these few days hor. Almost everyday got entries. That's because I'm too free right now. So while I'm having so much time to fool around, enjoy the constant updates.

 

Thanks for reading.

Muaks!

Beautiful Mutation

Have been a week into semester 2. So far, everything is good except that in certain classes, there are lots of students that latecomers might need to stand or grab a chair from the next door. To that extend. Those classes are Computing Essential and Algebra. It gets really uncomfortable to pay attention when there's no table for you to jot the notes down. Hopefully things will get much better by next week. Biology 2 is very hard. For introduction, we are to learn cellular respiration already. It's heavy and on top of that, we have a new lecture, Mr James. Ms Shima left us for further studies. Blame it on my luck. When I was in KBU, my biology teacher, Ms Fatin Shaari too went for further studies and was replaced by Ms Dorcas Kong. Now in UCSI, Ms Shima also went off. Haih. Not to say Mr James but he also blur blur one. I doubt that he's also as confusing as us. Chemistry's lecture, Ms Annie is a mean person. She called people dumb dumb for answering her question wrongly. So mean. Should start revising on Chemistry soon. Wouldn't want to get in her list for Dummies.  As for my transcript, I shall go again to the Registrar Office this Monday. If I was to wait, I bet they will never call me. The D grade on the transcript is really disturbing.

Personally I think the staff there got language problem. Last Thursday, when I went there, a Malay staff entertained me. I explained everything and she said it probably because the fat Indian that previously handled my withdrawal cases forget to press the 'Withdrawn' button. The hell? Is that my fault? In a nice tone, she get my number and said she'll called me. Aside from the transcript, there's another problem. I am suppose to be exempted from Malaysian and Moral studies but in the program, under the exemption table, there's nothing. When  I raise my case, she said she'll get her other colleague but later then returned and said her colleague was engaged. And asked me to wait for a while. This time, I managed to wait again for almost 20 minutes and when I went to asked, she said, "I asked you to wait meh? Oh, sorry. I'll call you." SERIOUSLY?! Rasa nak tampar je muka tu. Ishh.. Geram! Ada ke ye tunjuk muka tak bersalah langsung. Hantu la. "Tunggu sekejap" and "Nanti saya call back" banyak beza tau. Kang ada jugak yang makan penampar aq nih.

Dimple is a type of deformation; beautiful mutation. Dimples are small fold or indentations in the fleshy part of the cheek which are caused by a minor muscle deformity that causes the skin of the cheek to draw tightly as it moves, creating external riot. This facial feature is usually a genetically-inherited trait. Some have either right or left dimple but the lucky ones have dimples on both side.

Cute, stunning and hot celebrities with dimples include... *drum rolls

1. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge

 

2.  Miranda Kerr

Hot and sexy mama

 

3. Brad Pitt

 

4. Cheryl Cole

 

5. Ariana Grande

 

6. Ashley Greene

 

7. Bar Refaeli

 

8. Vanessa Hudgens

 

9. Leonardo Dicaprio

 

10. Gabrielle Union

 

11. Kellan Lutz

 

12. Karen Chiok

What la? I also have dimple ma.

 

Typed so long since 9 pm but still haven't reach the main point. Actually, I'm very angry coz I feel like I've been deceived by mirrors. I've always wonder why my selfie so pretty when I'm not. Always feel pretty when I look in the mirrors but in reality it's not. Realization hit me yesterday night when I viewed my old photos. Why those pictures of me taken by someone else look o hideous? Note to self, never let others take photo for you. So I went and tested out my theory today.

 

Taken from front camera. This photo is a mirror.

It explains because my dimple is actually on my right hand side.

 

A flipped image of the previous.

This is the image I'll get if I use my back camera.

So this is me with a right dimple

 

I think the dimple on my right side makes me look very cacat. It makes my face look unsymmetrical and ugly. The 'swan' finally realized that she's an ugly duckling after all. Sobs sobs... Also, people with dimples on the left actually looked prettier and cuter. So if you have dimple on your left, lucky you. Most of the celebrities have dimples on either both side or on the left. I'm so gonna break all the mirrors for deceiving me.

 

As we're already on this topic, you can actually have artificial dimples. It's either from make-up or surgery. Some said the dimple piercing or dimple creation surgery is damn painful but beauty comes with a price, isn't it? To create dimple, a small incision is made in the inside of the cheek. A small absorbable suture is then passed through the inside of the cheek and catches the undersurface of the skin where the dimple is desired. When this suture is tied, it causes a dimpling in the overlying skin. First few days, dimple will present even without smiling but after several days, dimple will only present when smiling or moving the face. The scarring between the inner skin and muscle will cause a permanent dimple even after the suture is absorbed.

 

Dimple creation surgery can be done on all cheek types and sizes. You can also decide the location of the dimples. Thou it is an entirely surgery process where you will be awake during the entire surgery, there will be a little bit of swelling and bruising. As in any surgery, there are risks involved in the form of infection, bleeding, scarring, under/over correction and weakness of the involved muscles although extremely rare. Normal activities should be able to resume the following day.

 

Extra dimple on the left, Karen?

Hmm.. Thinking...

 

Till then, go be beautiful!

Thanks for reading.

Go smash your mirrors too if you feel that you've been cheated

 



Loath

The issue to raise here is the house cleaning which is twice a month. True to say that I am definitely not willing to pay RM 25 a month. Yeah, we're still stuck here. Months ago, I and Ameera ( my other house mate) made an agreement to have it once a  month. It has been going on for at least 4 months. Everyone was happy. But now that she had already left, it was back to twice a month. I got furious. Why can't Pris just clean her mess? Got a lot money to waste ah? The lesson here is to never have a rich man's daughter as your housemate.

Landlord called me just now. She'll willing to cut my rental to RM 440 by deducting RM 10 to pay up for the house cleaning since she failed to mention to me early on that they will be having house cleaning twice a month. Still, I'm not satisfied. I still have to pay RM 15 a month, which in my accounts is quite expensive since RM 15 can last me maximum 3 days. That's a lot. But then no point arguing further on. It just makes others unhappy. I'll go with it but I shall give you my sour face.

The another problem is the fact that Pris is letting boys entering the house. When I was finding for a room, I remembered clearly that it was mention that "NO BOYS ARE ALLOWED". Damn. No proof now. Can't find the advertisement on the internet already. It has been removed. The reason why I took the room was because no boys are allowed. And by all means, no boys should enter. You want to know what my bloody landlord told me? She guaranteed me that there is no house that really don't have boys entere. Who knows there is? Despite the bloody expensive room rental, I decided to take it as you said no boys are allowed. If it's that case, why do I need to pay for such pricy rental where others here in Angkasa Condo can offer me a cheaper price with a bigger room.

I was so tempted to move out. There are lots of offers with cheaper room and bigger room. There's one with only RM 390 with Queen sized bed and a bigger room. The only reason I'm all tied up is the bloody contract. I'm tied to this place, this room for a year. Damn! Shall be patient for another 6 months and I'll be out from the room and UCSI for good.

As for UCSI, did I mention there's a D for my Malaysian Studies subject that I've already been exempted from? Fuck UCSI again. Apparently, I need to deal with the Registrar Office and Centre of Pre-U staffs again. Urghhh. From my previous bad experience, I don't think I want to deal with them again. All the stresses and tears. If I don't go, my transcript will be forever be tainted with the D. FML.

On the bright side, I've cooked for myself Steamed Egg with Minced Pork today. Get your pen and paper ready to jot this down.

Ingredients:

• Minced Pork
• Egg
• Salt
• Sugar
• Water
• Pepper

Method:
1. Add in sugar, salt, pepper and MSG into the minced pork. Mix well
2. Steamed the pork until half or fully cooked.
3. Break the egg. In the egg, add water, salt and sugar to taste. Remember to never beat the egg. Stirring to break the yolk is enough.
4. Pour the egg into the plate of minced pork and steamed again until fully cooked.

I don't have the exact measurement for this as I dump everything in. A dash of this here and a tsp of this there. For once, let your instinct lead. My container is small so I just need an egg and to the egg I only added 3 tbsp. of sugar. That's the only measurement I have. It's that easy. Sometimes, other like to garnish it with sesame oil and spring onions. Well, you can also substitute chicken egg with century egg or salted duck egg.

It seems incomplete. Hmm. Shall make a complete and better version the next time in future with the secret of producing the smooth surface of the steamed egg. SO be back again in August! If you can't wait, you can try and error.

Thanks for hearing to my whines.

Weevils

Have you ever open a bag of rice grains or cereal products to notice that small beetles have invaded the whole bag? How can they enter the bag when it's sealed? While the college is still sorting out our timetables and I'm free from assignments and tests, I took the effort to cook simple meal (it's actually heating coz those are the food that I brought back) to save money. Today, I noticed that my bag of brown rice is full with these tiny, black beetles. It is pwetty annoying coz I spent almost 20 minutes to wash the rice while picking up each and single beetle. So what is this rice beetle?

My new pets that do not require any attention or love.
They simply need a bag of grains. Say hi to Weevils!

Weevil is a type of bug or beetle that is found in rice grains and cereal products. These pests often damage crops by laying their eggs in grain kernels and later sealing it with gelatinous secretions. With a warm temperature, the larva develops within the grain and eat its way out. That explains why my grains are hollow and empty inside. 'Weevil' sounds like 'We evil'. They are indeed evil coz they feed on my rice. Who the hell give them permission to do so?!

 

Don't freak out but a female weevil can lays from 36 up to 254 eggs. With the proper temperature, which is between 80 to 86 degree F, 75-90% humidity, the eggs will hatch in 3 days and the larvae mature in 18 days and 6 days as pupa. The life cycle depends closely on the temperature. On summer, it lasts for about 30-40 days while 123 to 148 days in winter.

The best way to get rid off weevils is to

• Inspect all grains upon purchase
• Freeze grains for at least 1 week (or store permanently in the freezer) to kill any eggs
• Buy grains in small quantity and eat within a reasonable period of time
• Store grains in tightly sealed glass, metal or sturdy containers
• Regularly clean pantry racks and shelves
• Placed small bags of black pepper around pantry to repel weevils
• Placed dry bay leaves or cloves in each container or bag of flour to discourage weevil infestation

Besides, the presence of weevils indicate the freshness of the grains and cereal products. So you know how to determine the freshness of the products now. Fortunately, all stages of the weevils can be killed easily by super heating or cooling. Simply heat in a shallow pan in the oven at 120 degree F for about an hour or in the microwave for 5 minutes or place in a freezer at 0 degree F for 4 days.

There's no answer to whether is there any nutritious value left in the grains that have been infested by weevil. From my understanding, I would say that there's no more nutrition in there. What left by the beetle is only an empty capsule. Nothing more. So I suggest to never buy weevils infested products.

Empty in the inside

 

Why are Chemistry lectures all that sarcastic? First on the list is Ms Jaclyn and the second one would be Ms Annie. I just love hearing to their sarcastic comments. My personal form of entertainment. As for Bio, I'm gonna miss Ms Shima very much. Mr James's class bored me to death. No offense but it's very boring and the lectures notes are incomplete. Another thing that Mr James expect us to do is to be PERFECT! Hell?! He clearly explained how perfect is his perfect. I know I always strive for perfection but I never expected others to expect me to do so. Very stress leh. This semester shall make me a morning person. All classes start at 8 in the morning with long breaks in between. Urgghh. Such a pain in the ass.

 

Nothing much. No class tomorrow so perhaps another entry tomorrow. If and only if I'm that hardworking. Before I go off, Mother's Day is  this Sunday, 11th of May. Set your remainder and start your surprise!

 

Thanks for reading.

Ciao!

Holidays ended

 

Back to my lonely world, entrap in between four-sided walls. Reached to a messy home at 10 in the morning by Firefly. Woke up as early as 6 to pack my luagage. Tonnes of food to bring back here. Brought back chicken curry, salted chicken, pork balls, kaya (coconut jem), kerepok (fish crackers), love letters, snacks, oranges (we have much sweeter oranges than those in KL) and crab balls, dim sum, some tees and some SPM as well as STPM book for my next semester. I'm all ready for sem 2. Bring in on!!

My last day in KT was damn packed. Went to Mydin to buy some hair bands, powder and mirror. Trust me when I said I'm very lazy to find these things in KL. In the afternoon, me went to the Dad's grave with Mum to water the plants there as well as visiting Dad. It's a routine each time I go back. As for dinner, we went to Dee Dee Restaurant to eat together with Great Tiger and his family. It was nice to eat together. The not nice part is where 4 out of 8 dishes were vegetables and we were forced to finished all the vegetables or we can't go home. Never in my life I ate so much vegetables in a day. Proud of myself. After a hearty meal, Great Tiger suddenly said he wanted to weigh us. Damn! I felt cheated because I literally ate to my heart contents. Thank god, he said he'll deduct 3kg from there to be fair. Whooo... I'm 72.1 kg and after deduct 3kg, it was 69 only. Sipek happy thou I'm well aware that I'm 70.9kg in the morning. It doesn't hurt as long as he doesn't knows.

That night, for supper, mum bought me roti tempayan where traditionally the bread is baked in a pot by sticking it to the walls of the pot and it's eaten with curry. It tastes like heaven. I was busy packing the last night. Ooh. And I've gotten my result. Aaahhhh. I've managed to obtain 3.6. So damn happy. Some applause, please? Perhaps repeating another year of foundation isn't that bad after all. Shall aim for higher pointer the next semester. I was damn nervous to take my result. I never thought that my pointer can be so high as I'm totally helpless in Physic. It turns out that I got a B for my Physic. Not bad la. As for Biology, it is kinda disappointing to get a B+. Haihh. And I thought I can get A. Fine. I'm satisfied.

That night (my last night) while I was packing my darling, Xiao Ai was accompanying me and I decided to prank him. I switched off all the light downstairs and told that, "Xiao Ai, go oor oor (sleeping)" while I peeped at him from upstairs. What he did was, he was confused coz he's supposed to go outside and sleep. He was standing at the stairs, looking very confused. I can still remember his facial expression. Later on, he went down and slept totally at the bottom of the stairs with his head at the first flight of stairs. Is this why dogs normally slept in front or at the corner of the doors, to wait for their master to return? I'm so touched by seeing Xiao Ai's behavior that my tears suddenly dropped. Is this how a creature named dog show their loyalty? I beyond speechless.

After the loyalty was given, we, the ungrateful humans decided to abandon them when they no longer cute or their fur color do not match our cushion color. Take a moment to reflect what have we given to our dogs to obtain such an honor. At that moment, I trust that if I was in danger, I believe Xiao Ai would sacrifice himself to protect me. I hope we don't come to that day. I would never put him in that situation. Same goes to Tiger and Kiko. Once in a blue moon, there will be always these slimy reptiles that came and visited us. I've warned everyone at home that not to let my dogs near them. I can tolerate with monitor lizards but not snakes. Please. I can't lose any of them.

My boy looks so pitiful here.

 

Nothing much more but I hate the feeling when I'm back here. In my sleep, I'm always dreaming that I'm back home in the comfort of my love ones. It is quite scary when you can't differentiate which is dreams and which is reality and when you woke up, disappointment wash all over you. The dreams or nightmares as I called it, often lasted a day or two. Too good to be true. Gonna return to my busy routine from tomorrow onwards. I hope I'll more free time to update my blog from time to time coz there's still at least 4 drafts pending.

Here the end of my holidays. The end of my time with Xiao Ai. The end of jotting down the recipes, taking photos of step-to-step cooking as well as baking and posting up the recipes at midnight when everyone's asleep. The end of my time at home. The end of spending time with my BFFs (yeah. I haven't posted entry on that). Time has come for us to bid farewell. And I shall looking forward to these luxuries in another 4 months time.

 

Thanks for reading. Go hug your dogs for me.
