i don't know for anybody else, but for me, there's this 'excitement' from seeing cattle (cows, goats etc.) roaming around 'hunting' for food, or just roaming without a specific purpose actually. alright alright, i see them when i'm in the car, and we zoom past moo-moos fast enough to catch a lil glimpse only lah

coming from miri, even the occasional sight of a cow or two can only be caught at the real real real, and i repeat, REAL far from the city centre itself. like lets say, more than an hours drive?? and that's just for me lah, i don't know whether this applies for other mirians

nyeh... anyways... so being in kedah, of course there would be the occasional sight of a 'family' of cattle or two lah.

okay maybe not something straight out of a milk ad lah

this seems more realistic don't you think? though thr are subtle differences........

imagine my surprise when i saw CATTLE in PENANG!! o.O

as i said, it was during a car ride that i took notice of em. the first few encounters being at a fixed spot around in the afternoon and were just lazing around feeding on the grass?? anyways
super surprisingly, today's encounter wasn't at that same spot, but really really just beside the MAIN ROAD, walking.

as in, if you could jump of the car in the middle of heavy traffic, u can touch em with ur bare hands....

DuSH, it's in the middle of penang's main road okay and i wanna highlight that once again!! not that i knew which area it was, being so blind regarding directions around here. but it's island owhkay

kay i feel like a noob now. am i over-reacting over a small matter??

Autumn in Aimst

2009-02-20T15:59:00.003+08:00

The recent weather here in Bedong (or Sungai Petani if you prefer-the location of AIMST) is getting on my nerves. The constant heat is absolutely exhausting to even think about, besides causing a massive breakout due to the over secretion of sebum in reaction to the hot, dry weather.

Terribly vegetable-ly HOT

It certainly is a big difference compared to the CNY that just passed of which i spent in Miri. Which practically consisted of days and days of heavy rain and thunderstorm filling up more than half the day with just that.

aaaaah, constant moisture, no worries about skin dehydration, or any type of dehydration for that matter.

Anyways, this havoc-wrecking weather has been causing the area to look as if it's autumn. IMAGINE, autumn in malaysia?? it's brown grass and dead leaves due to the hot-ness. and since the area around our hostel is not 'watered', hence, the autumn scene.

Shucks, i wanna experience the 4 seasons. BUT not in this way!

Apart from the change in scenery, it's getting easier to irritate me nowadays. i can't stand the hot weather!

oh Blahz... lemme make a point about how hot it is for me. imagine, at night with the shortest pants seen anywhere, and sleeveless WITHOUT blankets, and you can sweat in you sleep, cos we DON'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING in our hostel...

o.O

okay right, stop this uterring nonsense session dy...

2009-02-15T23:58:00.001+08:00

i'm too fed up with studies

sigh

2009-02-05T01:12:00.003+08:00

i'm gonna take a break from blogging all these, what with the coming assesments, and me still playing here?? sigh

unless i suddenly go crazy with all the studying and suddenly find the need to vent my frustration...

planning to do something exciting next week

it's a personal thing though

and by that i mean alone

with no other human being

sien
i'm not even making sense of myself

无心读书，所以另找lame的事情引开注意力

一日三餐无非是每个人习惯性的举动。但最近都是睡到午饭时刻才甘愿离开那温软的床铺。。。

说那么多废话其实我的目的是要叙述以下的事情

人们常常问的：

你怎么吃那么多？？
－其实我的食量本来就很惊人的，只是你不知道罢了
xP

你怎么吃那么少？？？
－其实你被我骗了。。。我是饭吃得少，菜肴却夹得多。。。因为我认为菜煮得那么好吃，当然不可让厨师失望，而枉费他尽心竭力煮出来的美食啊。。。
呵呵呵呵

可是你饭跟菜都吃得不多呀！！
－可能你没看到我另外吃的糕点，零食吧！
嘻嘻嘻

所以说，其实大家是被我骗到了。。。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

～～～终于闹够了！读书去了～～～

i decided against and english version, and opted for a malay-english one instead, just to polish by very terrible malay
hehehe
Hence, the malay-english version:

takde mood nak belajar lah, baru saya cari benda lain untuk mengalihkan perhatian buat ketika ini

The three main meals we have each, are what is built into our mindset, totally out of kebiasaan. tapi, kebelakangan ini, ku selalu tak sampai hati meninggalkan katilku yang so comfortable sehinggakan sampainya masa untuk lunch barulah saya turun katil. Sebenarnya, all that crap was just an introduction for me to talk about the following:

People ask:

Ngape makan banyak sangat ya???
-sebenarnya, my food comsumption sangat mengejutkan. Hanya, kau tak tau saja

Ngape makan sikit-sikit le??
-sebenarnya, kau dah ditipu aku. Nasi yang saya ambil memang sikit, tapi kan, saya makan BANYAK lauk lah. Lauk pauk yang dimasak dengan begitu sedap, tentulah tak boleh disappoint the chef lah... Nanti the chef punya hasil titik peluh disia-siakan bahh...
hehehehe

Tapi ngape nasi dengan lauk pun makan sikit saja??
-mungkin kau tak nampak saya makan kek dengan junk food lain bahh..
heeheeheehee

Kesimpulannya, banyak orang yang telah ditipu saya... hahahah

(special note to Miss Yeoh: i'm so sorry tarnished the national language.)

我要减肥！！

我是认真的。。。。。

不过
待考完试再

。。。。。。行动。。。。。。

哈哈哈哈

2009-02-03T16:25:00.002+08:00

(tried and tested)
what u should do to have satisfactory bowel movement
as in every 1 (i'd wish) or 2 days for me

1. eat a LOT of veges!
-as in AT LEAST a fistful or 2 for EVERY meal
-liddat sure got more than enough roughage for anyone lar (haha)

2. drink lotsa water
-like 2 litres? nyehehehe
-tho i can't say i've been drinking that much

3. all the other methods:
-fruits: HUMONGOUS LOADS OF IT (which is kinda hard considering whr i'm studying now)
-oatmeal: not the packaged one, the real tin one-5tablespoons of it! which can get a bit bland with time

(personally, first method most effective for me lor, if not, my 'shitting' frequencies are 3 days at most n may last to 4/5 days if i'm eating the amount ppl normally eat)

now, i'll see whether it works when it's NOT during the menstrual cycle.
mana tau, backfire pulak. cis.
i have a huge hunch that it's the menstrual cycle causing my GIT to be exceptionally relaxed at this time... hmph

this is so crude.

Burning my 5 year old (part of) valentine gift

2009-02-01T21:14:00.002+08:00

let's get sentimental

Love month

2009-02-01T19:13:00.003+08:00

It's February
of which we always associate it as
The Love Month

Thus, i've decided to come up with this post

Well, does anybody remember the book by Gary Chapman??
"The Five Love Languages"

I only got to know about this approximately last year
during sunday service
hahaha
we did this lil questionaire thingy
and got to know a lil bit more about
the five love languages

SO, what i decided to do, was
search on the net about it
and share together-gether
with everyone

muahahahaha

so people!!!
go to this website and check it out!!!

How to interpret your Profile Score:

Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love
language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your
primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to
you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you.
The highest possible score for any language is 12.

My results??
nyehehehe
NAHH i share with u all oso lor

Score	Love Language
4	Words of Affirmation
8	Quality Time
1	Receiving of Gifts
9	Acts of Service
8	Physical Touch

Actually
the main reason i'm here
is because
i've got totally no mood to study

even though my CA is like next week
i can say i'm totally not prepared for it

*sigh*

2009-02-01T17:42:00.003+08:00

i don't feel v good today

body, heart, mind

feel as if i'm looking down a pitch black pit

full of despair

*sulks*

*updated: nw i know why
-pms-ing
-plus the other myriad factors n events taking place in my life
:P

Insecurity

2009-02-01T04:02:00.002+08:00

the feeling of
not being appreciated
worthlessness
unloved
not being even given a glance of an eye

it's common
and i admit i've had my bouts of it
truly really, who hasn't

most importantly
how about u??

oo
U

so let's pray
this big-bad-bug
won't come around again

THe year of the OX!!!

The chinese new year celebration proved to be yet another ritual of visiting, making friendly, and binging on the ever big number and variations of goodies!

New Year Eve

O.o i got 8 uncles and 4 aunties okay! with aunts unavailable and uncle no. 7 off to india for hol??...

Day 1
Here comes the day of which we have the house visiting among ALL the father's side's family members! the specialties i can remember from 'em are as below according to their turn:

uncle 4: bz day for the married cousin. she's getting ready all her stuff n flying it off to ipoh whr her husband is from. whilst we, well we just hung around. daddy had a nap at the table
=.="

cousin (late aunt 1's son): totally mesmerized. explored their 'music room' which had a piano, guitar and a drum set. the piano, biasalah play suang onli... then fiddled around with the unknown-the drums! heheh... ANYBODY OUT THR WILLING TO TUTOR A NOOb in drums LIKE ME?! it'll be so cool to play
haha

uncle 8: last house of the day! but but.... din go... :P so sowie!!

grandma (mum's side): dropped by hr for around half an hour after lunch...

and with that, we conclude DAY 1 OF CNY!!

Day 2
11am- woke up, took a shower, n welcomed the mum's side of the family to the house. then auntie zakina came over. then after that we had lunch finally
after lunch-sleep

New Year Resolutions

2009-01-01T20:24:00.004+08:00

As i'm gonna turn twenty this 2009, i've decided to do something NEW!!

MAKE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!!
-seriously, i have never ever done them, cos i think everybody'll break them in the end-

Never the less, it's a new chapter unfolding this year
see whether i can stick to it LAH
hahahah!!!

And thus!!
Karen Tan Hui Hui
hereby pledges
to attempt the following for the year 2009:

1. to spend more time and grow to be more like Christ

2. to love my family and frens and ppl that matter to me more

3. to halve my current procrastinating level and
spend more time focusing on my studies
above all other matters

4. to eat healthier with more greens and less junk in my diet
occasional indulgences don't count :P

5. to get active at least twice a week but not more than 4
cos the body needs to rest and heal also
:P

6. being at the lighter side of the 50kg mark by the end of the year!!
i don't think i've ever been hr since primary smtg
so the MAFAN to find nice clothes okay with current fats hanging around
btw i'm like 55 now?? ARGH
so ppl, nag me n motivate me if i indulge on junks too much

7. to not overspend on non neccessities
(i'll try my VERY BEST on this one, hopefully)

Seven resolutions for the year 2009

i now think seven is my fav number
since it's so closely associated to my birth month

so seven resolutions it is indeed....

2008-12-29T00:05:00.003+08:00

those who have had the utmost honor of living in with me
know that
i don't hair dry my hair

which can lead to it looking dry and astray
(i may forget to oil and comb it sometimes)

and now,
i propose an ALL NEW
EFFECTIVE
AND EASIEST WAY
to keep your mane looking great at all times!!
without even lifting a finger!!!

it's not a major do-over
i still have long hair
it's just that i'm SO SO happy to get rid of the split ends
so bear with me rants

muahaha...
though the cost of cutting it at Hair Impression
(located at Bayan Lepas, Penang)
kinda made my heart pine for the money that was lost
sigh

just for a hair cut rite
rm30-stylist
rm35 or 40 (forgot)- senior
rm45-taukeh
summore add rm 10 for Schwarzkopf products to wash my hair
i think it's my most expensive hair cut
EVER

my hair was only cut by a v lengzai stylist niar mar
hello? lemme just rant on lar
the point of this post is to mourn about money

but nvm
pamper ocassionally niar
won't die wan

and another quirky thing to note to share
the stylist today commented on my huge abundancy of hair
haha
i always tot i had v lil hair
or maybe it's because of
the outrageously expensive shampoo i've been using
or he was just flattering me??

i've this big concern with baldness

cos my hair drop a lot wan mar okay

i kinda just realized this is another post of no theme-ness

so striking

so luxurious

so tempting

so smart

so savvy

so smooth

so bright

so easy

so reachable

yet far

though a new event intervened

bashed up by a 1 and a half yr old

2008-11-27T03:19:00.002+08:00

i nearly forgot to post this

i'm currently staying with my cousin n his wife now, n together they have a 1 and half yr old pretty gurl who is quite strong willed and hard headed. but tat cute lil gurl is SO DANG CUTE LOR! she's not really afraid of strangers and is really friendly!!

oh wells anyways moving on with my story how this seemingly cute lil gurl did to me no other human being has ever done to me before.

on tuesday, this lil gurl was sitting on my lap as we were in the car, and her daddy was driving us and his parents back to the condo already... i could feel slight wetness whr she sat, didn't really bother cos it might just be sweat. then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, thr was a sudden flow of warm liquid!! ARGH!! wearing white shorts at the time then her pampers overflowed pulak!! GAHHH

ne ways fine lah pampers overflow...

then on wednesday nite, ALSO on the way back after dinner, thr she was sitting on my lap again... but THIS TIME, a different incident. cos she's like SO hyper, then whilst she's sitting thr will like jump hr thr everywhr wriggle hr n thr liddat wan mar... then duno how, the back of her head hit my mouth. and something i learnt in pathology happened.

ACUTE INFLAMMATION!!

within seconds, that particular part of my lips became swollen as exudate flow to the area increased. the force that kena me was really big wei, even tho twas just a lil gurl! within half an hour it was swollen like mad wei. pity i didn't take pictures to show.. neways, besides, miniscule streaks of red could also be found but the blood was trapped inside and not flowing out lor.

bah, neways the swell has already subsided after 10 hours of sleep. so nothing biggie
i wonder if they're any more firsts from her??

until then, toodles~~

to be or not to be??

i only got the chance to send it of to the hp service centre on tuesday as i'm in kl for the week. the other service centres that are near to sg petani is the one in alor star and the penang one. and since i'm in kl, i might as well send it to the one here.

oh wells, the service centre ppl at hp towers were nice and friendly (or at least the ones that i met). one of the very 'sat' looking men (they were wearing white fur-looking vests that had a cool effect when looked upon in overall!! n not to mention good looking) and the friendly lady at the counter (i'm so sorry i forgot ur name) attended to me grouses. well i do remember they were chinese n they were nice??

ne ways the whole point is, i might to get the whole MOTHERBOARD replaced if the problem is what they suspect it is, which can amount to rm 1000. the pretty lady said that the video card is on the motherboard and then wad if replace, nid to replace the whole thing. n then i'm like WHAT??? okay... fine, just do whatever checking u have to do-lah...

then rite, i proceeded to ask about delivery charges since i might be off back to aimst by the time my laptop will be done, then she said that if i supposed collect it from any of the OTHER service centres, then there will be NO DELIVERY charges!! however, if i opt to have it sent right to my doorstep, then of course delivery charges for it will apply-loh. alright fine, then she told me LET'S SAY if i choose NOT to repair the laptop, nid to pay rm90+ cos they nid to check the laptop punya bayaran..

so i'm like

O.o

okayy dokayyy

so... if i really nid to pay 1k plus just to get it repaired, should i??

i mean it's quite a canggih laptop leh... even tho i bought it in dec 2006... and it's so pretty!!
really sayang to part with my laptop,
even tho it's so HOT (major overheat problem for quite a long time already)

even if i buy let's say a rm3k laptop now, the specs would be er, would'nt be of much of difference?? except for the vista part la... haha... dun play play, my lappie cost me almost 5k tat time okay... (personally actually wouldn't have gotten it bcos of the price, but daddy say buy, mar buy lor.. wakakakakaaa)

sighz... pay 1--2k for repair? or just buy a new canggih laptop?? (my sista sure kill me la liddat)

aiyo pls pls pls let it not be motherboard problem lor... if yes also make it as if thr's sum sort of extended warranty especially for me!! waiseh man!! so good

eyer... sien wan to be stripped away from my laptop. now wanna blog or check mail/fb/fster o wadeva crap i usually do also so mafan

summore i nid it to STUDY wan mar... (smtimes nid to check weird weird stuff we dun understand when studying mar)

First day of my week long holidayS!!

WhoopIE!!!

Had an early breakfast at 8 with dan & mich (cuz &wife respectively). twas at this chinese place whr i had this xiu yuk mien which was totally not up to standard (or at least i've had better lor). none the less, mich's charkueytiaw was quite nice to consume leh... even tho i only had some (a few) suaps only but my taste buds aint faulty yet wei......

Anyways, after breakfast, took lrt n ktm to midvalley and hung out with abigail!!! wakakakaka... actually wanted to catch a movie or something, but since the movies on screen were like lame/watch before/uninteresting, we proceeded to the main highlight of the day!!! SHOPPING!!!

MONEY WAS SPENT ON:
1 mng bag (rm160)
1 sports bra (rm130)
1 bodyglove shirt
(just simply because it was rm25 and it's of the exact same design as one that i have just that it has a different shade of colour!!)
1 seed top (50% mar...)
Stuff from watsons (rm11-secret okayy cos i paiseh)
Food (rm 60)
Public Transport (rm13)

TOTAL MONEY SPENT = MORE THAN 400!!

die lor die lor.... spend so much money... what about the rest of the week wor??

ne ways, a very unexpected event happened!!
we met miss chew!!!! as in the miss chew who taught us english in secondary school!!

of all the familiar people we could have met, and of all places-midvalley??

hahahaha
twas cool... had a short chat with her and her fren/sister (we duno their kaitan okay) and went on with our respective ways... lol

Continuous assesment... is on next week...

getting a little tensed up

everywhr can c fellow batch mates studying

in room, house, library, study area

basically us batch 14 are colonizing places like library and study areas for this 2 weeks

as we see some rare faces appear (like me lor)

at ths comfortably air conditioned places (our rooms aren't)

neways...

praying that i'll pass for this first assesment

as i'm not even as half prepared as my other friends are

i admit i've been slacking a lot

and a bit last minute

though that's no excuse for not performing well

sighh

time to sleep for today...

tmr really must concentrate on studying

n not let my mind drift off to random stuffz!!

Of thievery

2008-11-09T18:15:00.002+08:00

Here in aimst, most of the lady students of the new intake have been assigned accomodation at the cluster of buildings of which we are the pioneering occupants
It is located at the periphery (kind of) of the whole accomodation area, as well as not being properly lighted
So, let's say we're on our way back at night, or even 1am in the morning, thr will be no lights to light our way
only guided by the faint source of light from the rooms of our block, which is only partially occupied by the way

Interesting things happen in here
outcomes of suicide attempts aren't realy known
cos it has been all hushed up
laptops n valuables gone missing
are not a surprising incident

seriously
just yesterday, my housemate lost her laptop
i'm not kidding
the head warden and head of security came and everything
to investigate/find out what happened

funny things happen too
my other housemate lost a pair of slippers
and that was yesterday too
though whether it was lost with the laptop or at a later time
it's not a surety

neways... yeahh
weird things happen here......

2008-11-09T02:24:00.003+08:00

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

God is love. He thought of us and crafted us the way we are, up to the smallest and most miniscule detail. He planned for all things around us to happen, so we are shaped, moulded as he wants us to be, so as to fulfill his purpose for us in life. We are all made by God, though how many choose to BE his children?

Too often, we choose to go our own way

Too often, we do not place importance on him

Too often, we rob ourselves of his blessings for us

Too often, we rob him through tithes when all that we obtain is from him

Too often, we sin, again and again

Too often, we go through our day without being conscious of him

Too often, we rob him of time meant for him

Too often, we forget that his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts

Too often, we doubt our significance to him

Too often, we forget that he will never leave us nor forsake us

Too often, too often, we go against his wishes

O' God, forgive us for all the 'too oftens' in our life. Help us to depend on you more, to rely on you, to know you, to understand you, to be proud of you, and to love you with the largest capacity possible.

God, we are thankful of you just being you. You are God and we are not. You created us, every single cell in us lives because of you, every beauty and balance in nature is your work, every miracle and wonder, your hand was involved. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for you being you, our God.

*tears falling down from the skies~~*

my last histo slides seen

2008-10-27T22:52:00.003+08:00

sorry lah lz to label

Just random

2008-10-27T00:54:00.002+08:00

oh, i just realized i've missed my target. it's been a LONG time since i last updated, at least for me.

anyways, there has been quite a lotta things i wanted to blog about, it's just that the 'lazy bug' is starting to BUG me. Get it?? haha lame i know....

first and foremost!!
i have had my first official visits to gcc and spcc on fridays for church!! now, to decide which to settle down with.... ???
i guess i'll continue chilling around both until i'm decided?? and i've been to my first cf in aimst!! waaa.... aimst oso got cf wan meh?? ahahahah

Secondly, the announcement by our dearest current deputy pm regarding the abolishment/or rather a gradual one of the nep.
well, if it really DOES happen (and i really don't know about the speed about the GRADUAL change he meant) i'm all for it!

every msian citizen knows about the nep, well heck we even learn a tad bit about it in our history textbooks. not much know about the details of it though most have a general idea what it's about.
i really do pray that msia really heads for the better, for even if we do hate/dislike/disagree with the government system/unfair policies/unethical judgements/unbelievingly wuliao stuff that happens in this country called msia, it cannot be denied that WE ARE MALAYSIANS!
It is OUR DUTY as malaysians to make our country a better place. if we ourselves do not make the effort to push our country AND HOME towards the RIGHT DIRECTION, WHO WILL??
the angmohs is it?? blerrr
ppl's economy wanna luput liao, summore u tink they wan help u meh. fat chance. even if dey wan kan, our gamen oso don let larrr. hahaha

things to change!! isa, nep, setting up of media council, transparent gamen n judiciary system, edu system bla bla bla bla bla.................
all ths things will not change in a blink of an eye. at least we ppl kan nid to be aware of what is happening around us.
then kan, when we're eligible to vote, GO VOTE LAR! we young ppl make up the majority of this country and thus have the power to make a difference! (macam lah i'm of age to vote, ahahaha)
oh well, i'm so gonna vote in the next election lor, if possible lar... nyehehehehe

actually i think politics is wuliao wan lar... but u knw, just so i can fill this blog post.... and plus, it's more like the system n not politics that's in my mind... ahahahakz!

NEXT!! this place called aimst is stressing me out.... it's not because of the studying... it's the LACK OF STUDYING i'm doing now!
it's only been a month plus, and i'm starting to go back to my old self (chill all the time)

i wanna get back my enthusiasm to prepare for lectures and going thru them after cls!! and actually REMEMBER what i learnt, and not forget all abt the details once i'm done with it for the day.

erm well, actually can't think of anything else significant to blog about.
oh yeah i'm at kulim again by the way. hmm, tmr will be going to sheela's place 4 deepavali!!
yay, makan time (oh no i'm putting on weight already lar... T.T)!!

oh and er yeah i was troubled about something else.
but my dear abigail, who has almost the same opinion/thoughts as i have, but better organization of it help me kaotim liao, by arranging them properly. muahahaha

then cz tengok i so 'confused...' on msn he ask me go see
proverbs 3:5-6 & phillipians 4:13

i luv me frens!!

THANK U GOD FOR ALL I HAVE IN MY LIFE!
tq tq tq~ i luv my dear papa in heaven so so much

Leadership

2008-10-18T23:34:00.002+08:00

*inspired by jo's question of leadership qualities

what does being a leader mean to u?

i've had my fair share of it in secondary school.

and frankly, i don't think i'm much of leader material.

if there are other individuals that are capable of producing good, if not better results, why don't just let them continue on shining brightly?
they get to do the job, and get the name and prestige that comes with it.
whereas i can just sit back, relax and enjoy whatever we 'subordinates' get from the result

of course, if the person at the top is outright lousy and incompetent
and you're strictly better
then go for that post and make a change,
make a difference
make something better
to be birthed out of that position

being at the top, means extra responsiblity, stress
in a good way, it makes you perform spectacularly
the bad thing for some is that a breakdown can occur
or at the mildest sense, the actual tasks and responsibilities aren't even done

i've never asked for myself to be nominated for anything, nor have i rushed after position after position for self gratification or any such thing
i just somehow get it
and i'm happy i did
even tho i didn't expect it

i appreciated those times
as they have made me what i am today
i realise that being at 'the top' doesn't mean anything if you're not competent
and that sometimes, being ordinary can be surprisingly fun

i tried my best while i was at the top
and will continue to do so where ever i am
being exemplary, being ordinary
just playing your part in life in the best way

that's good enough

thinking back, i wonder if i've done a good job during those times
doubts abt my own performance plagued me regularly then
and occasionally the present
wondering whether the 'right' actions were taken

some people love me
some people dislike me
and some even hate me
*i think*

oh well, life goes on

Now??
i just wanna be a great medical student
and hopefully, a great doctor after i graduate!!

~~smileys~~

how are you like around people?

2008-10-18T23:03:00.003+08:00

how are you like around people?

bold? talkative? shy? quiet?

ever smiling? ever frowning?

or always pulling some one's leg?

how are you like around people?

do you tend to nod/shake your head a lot?

do you lean forwards? keep your distance?

or do you fidget around waiting for the next most comfy pose??

how are you like around people?

using a lot of your body language?

just content with just facial expressions?

or a mixture of both depending on the situation?

how are you like around people?

simple and straightforward?

reserved? complex?

always agreeing? always denying?

how are you like around people???

Life

2008-10-14T20:28:00.004+08:00

Life is like wearing a pair of shoes

There are pretty ones and ugly ones

comfy ones

and excruciatingly painful ones

So you see, these 3 pairs below are the ones i've got

a black vincii-1 month old

a white vees-2 weeks old

and a high heeled vincii-3 months plus

the people we meet, the things we do can all be likened to a pair of shoes

of which you might wear a day?

or a week?

maybe even a month?

6 months?

2 yrs??

however long the period of time

there are times when we are hurt

by the people, by the situations

like this:

and so

we try to let time heal our wounds

praying that all will be well again

the scar is fresh

wondering whether the same incident

will ever happen again?

for the pain for most,

is unbearable

...

....

this is my favourite pair

it makes me stand the tallest (compared to the other pairs)

and thus the pressure on the ball of the feet

largest

but it NEVER EVER cuts me

luv u my dear high heels

after being wrapped:

I HATE TRM BOOKS SDN BHD

2008-10-12T13:11:00.006+08:00

*Written below is an expression of my anger, disappointment, and disgust at trm books sdn bhd. It is not intended to defame anyone, but is merely a statement of my experience with trm books sdn bhd!!

Before the raya hols, i submitted my order of 3 books:
netter's atlast of anatomy, guyton's physiology and wheater's histology, via C who acts as this intermediate guy between us and TRM BOOKS SDN BHD whereby all of us sakai students will buy in bulk from them lor.

TRM is a medical books supplier based in sungai petani and has its website HERE. So, go check it out already?? short, quick, simple and reliable looking right??

okay fine, the date i submitted the order- 26/09/08
the date C gave them our order- I HAVE NO IDEa
the date i paid the deposit after raya- 07/10/08

after receiving their sms notification at 7.21 pm (11/10/2008), i expected to see all THREE books TODAY as i NEED THEM LIKE NOW!!!

I WANT TO STUDY!! AND I'VE WAITED AND WAITED SO LONG (i wanted them like during raya wan so can make use of the time to study-even tho that's highly unlikely) BUT I NEED THEM ESPECIALLY NOW! i want my HISTOLOGY to be more specific!!!

anyways, i've only got back my guyton book and my histology and anatomy atlas is still missing from the show! when they told me about the delay for one week, i was like fine okay, asked them when it'll arrive, LIKE SATURDAY?? and they say like yeah.

ARGH!!!! the LAST DAY OF THE WEEK! ANOTHER HISTOLOGY LESSON!! SIEN!!!

ok lor fine lor, u no stock ok lar i understand lar even if i'm SUPER DUPER UNHAPPY ABOUT IT. then ar, when i reached my room and proceeded to get my physiology book out of the plastic out of its plastic, LOW AND BEHOLD!!! the cover is DAMAGED!!! SHIT!!!

PARDON THE LANGUAGE

and so, there i was rattling on and on in my head cursing the teruk-ness of TRM.
APA HAL LA LU!! WHY SELL ME A DAMAGED BOOK!!! SIEN!!! ok lor fine lor the book still can use lor. but then har!! why la why u all so like have no care about US CUSTOMERS HAR!! you're not scared i make public of this exprerience meh.
sien

then ar i see the book so lousy, then i flipped to the pin number part, and fast fast scratch and try registering for that book at studentconsult.com. cos i was scared it was a pirated copy until they don't care about it and simply damage the precious book and then cause me to have no access to the acount ok.
how gullible and foolish i am.

after like 10 seconds i scratched it!! i'm now filled with regret!! aiyah y i so stupid!! should have just returned the book and get a new one from them!!
IF NOT what is consumer rights! who ask me to be so stupid go pandai pandai scratch and see whether it's a real book from elsevier o not. sien

so now, i have to bear with a book which has a bit folded/scratched/push until deformed cover. maybe u think i'm exaggerating, but in my view it IS in that condition. i want my book to be PERFECT OKAY! even the slightest bit of damage will make me NOT BUY THE BOOK IN A BOOKSTORE!!

if not because of ibs (the aimst uni bookstore) not stocking up the softcopy version of physiology and the 2 histology books left on the shelf that time was like a bit cacat-ed and stock is yet to come, I SURELY WON'T ORDER FROM TRM BOOKS SDN BHD.

NEXT TIME, even if IBS no stock, i will ask them to ORDER again for me! and even if i have to wait until i want to die, i will never order from trm again.

makai

now, i'll wait and see whether my histology and atlast of anatomy is in the same condition.
and i've learnt my lesson, GET REFUND/NEW PERFECT BOOK from them!! if not go report to the consumer punya association. HMPH.

oh ya i'm not blaming C. unless he's getting comission from them.
just trm being the victim of my angry post here.

sorry lah if i upset anyone, just that i'm really disappointed lor ok

The more we learn, the more we know

the more we know, the more we forget

the more we forget, the less we know

*quote from lecturer-word by word

2008-10-11T23:10:00.003+08:00

Before attempting to read the following, please note that 'cadaver' means dead bodies, especially intended for dissection

For the past week, my lecture hours are sorta like this:
monday 8am-4pm (2 hours blanked=free!!)
tuesday 8am-5pm (3 hours blanked)
wednesday 8am-11am (no msian studies, hehe!)
thursday 8am-12pm (1hour of msian studies in between again)
friday 10am-3pm (1hr for lunch)

well, at least that's for the past week. I can't imagine when EVERYTHING like tutorials and labs are ALL on for the week which means:
monday 8am-4pm
tuesday 8am-5pm
wednesday 8am-5pm
thursday 8am-4pm
friday 8am-3pm

IN COMPARISON, imu is SO RELAXING MAN!!!!

wide eyed enough now??? the terror~~~ the terror~~~ aaaa~~~~~
like going to work liddat wan.... o.O

Subjects taken at the moment include physiology, world religions, biochemistry, microbiology, anthropology, epidemiology, ENGLISH for general academic purposes (cis!! cis!!), anatomy/histology, and that's basically it!
PHEW!!!!

well, it has yet been another generally uneventful week, excluding the weekend of course.

We had histology lecture and then practical after that on thursday. As me and my siao fren were too incompetent to make full use of the ONE HOUR (ONLY you know!!) time, we got hold of one of the lecturers and enquired more about viewing the slides at other hours. just to make sure we can do it and how we go about it lah.

And so, happily and merrily, on friday, after class, n after jo going to ibs, n after me n ttx-the library, we reached the medic building again at around 340. Thus, beginning our quest for further knowledge!! (chill lah, please bear with me for a while)

When we 'obtained contact' with the lab assistant, he was ever so kind n helpful (i'm not being sarcastic here) and got us the slides without much fuss so we could dissect all the info we can get get from the slides asap. So off we were to the anatomy dissection hall to observe the slides lor.

Upon entering the 'discussion place' or whatever it is called lah, an array of colours belonging to cadavers caught our eye!! and we were like oomphing and aaahing over our new discovery, i mean what are the chances of stumbling across em when we wanna 'revise' histology kan?? we've only had one encounter with them during the introduction to anatomy lecture! so can't blame our 'enthusiasm'??

But still, we resisted the urge and temptation to 'fondle' and 'caress' quite well, and went on with what we were SUPPOSED to do-TENGOK SLIDES! So, ttx had her turn first, since she was unwell the day before and basically was blur and not within herself.

Then, the lab assistant (for anatomy and not the histology one as before) dropped in to get to know us, then once he mentioned the word GO (albeit in a different, not that direct phrase as this), me n jo fast fast rush beside the place where the cadaver parts are placed and touch here and there lor (with bare hands, mind you). Suddenly, after talking about some of the body parts, Mr. J dug up the inner organs of the male cadaver to show us its spleen i think?? well, i forgot which but then we also dared to get messy lor after he did that (and after we requested for permission lar, haha) so see here n thr, poke here n there, feeling the texture, toughness, blah blah blah blah and other boring stuffz.

Oh ya, i also had the chance to see the cross section of a female upper body too. With which me n jo puzzled upon which organ was intended for which structure/function- more specifically near the pelvic part. ahaha... mainly cos i thought that the ovary didn't look like the ovary and etcetera lah. Mr J clarified my doubts as soon as i asked though. hehe. He's so helpful to us students wan, wah v good lah, i like, (actually almost all the staff here like that wan lor) we are definitely lucky to have these ppl man...

Note: this is an edited and modified version. Incident regarding little visit by other batch mates were omitted to facilitate a shorter and pleasant story.

A change of topic!!

I had my first visit to central square, sg petani on saturday, after replacement classes for raya. :)
Twas actually nothing to be so excited about. It's something like the not yet expanded days of bintang plaza, only worse. Very chap n messy lor the place, at the slight bit of stairs leading up to the bowling area, the sight that beholds you is- cigarrete butts on the ground and a whole bunch of hooligan looking malays sitting there too.
(i don't really have a thing against malays, cos i love afiq n sitia n izzaidin n khalid n syeeda n ain n all the gang last time lar, n some of the girls that let me have a chair during one of the meal times. so you see, i'm okay with malays man!)

Oh yeah it was kinda of a culture shock being there cos it's predominantly indian ethinicity you see in aimst and the chinese, second. THE POINT IS, it's messy bcos of the ppl that messed up the place, the lots placing being a bit too crowded for me, the narrow walkway, dizzyingly complicated locations of elevators and stairs, ppl everywhere due to it being a public holiday, lousy air conditioning system and er, that's basically it gua??

Things i do like about it: watson's and guardian is there!! there a great chinese eatery called mr. choo's!! me, jess n hs were totally stuffing food down our throats for AUTHENTIC FIT FOR HUMAN FOOD!! and we kept to the 'now THIS is food fit for humans' phrase everytime a dish is served. hahaa! that's how bad we think about aimst food. which is edible, but not entirely enjoyable everytime. we'll survive, n for me, get fat!
oh and there's secret recipe and another place called 'meteor rain' in chinese that i have yet to check out. (mana tau kan the secret recipe here is lousy bah, haha!!)

SO BEHOLD, the FATTER karen, coming back to miri for cny!!! muahahaha!
(which is absolutely due to the oily food in campus okayyyy, serious!!!)

Bah, it's so late already, and yet tmr early morn got cell group! oh gosh, i forgot to talk about the amazing service i had on friday night!!! sien. nvm lah, the most important thing about is: AWESOME! not exactly like acts lah, but something like it?? :)
i duno but i feel at home (or at least for now lah)
will continue to observe and check out other places.

Until next time~~
:)

Toodlelooos~~~~

Tough Job, tis great

2008-09-24T20:25:00.004+08:00

It's a tough job being in aimst. How i got to my conclusion?

-Room mate, G, has been having muscle ache from carrying medic books.
MUSCLE ACHES?? From BOOKS??
ever hear of this kind of situation wan meh?

-I also got muscle ache in the first week of being here.
(though not due to the books, but their swimming pool,hehe)

-my room is on the 4th floor. argh

-insects insects and more insects

-the totally expensive books

-the not so cina punya makanan cina
actually i can tolerate a bit of spicyness wan... but then ar.. v sien u knw... tdk biasa eat everyday lah...

It has been great in a few ways though

-number of hours spent on class today=3. MUAHAHAHAHA
tmr=3 hours (if thrs no epidemiology tutorial, which i think is V possible)
fri=4 hours
waiseh!! can sleep in the afternoon so suang! *grinning like da alice in wonderland's cat d...*

-going to uncle's place this friday!!!!!!!!!!!

AIMST newbie

2008-09-20T00:08:00.007+08:00

Ahhh... it's finally the weekend! Orientation's over! and classes starting next week!

Since i haven't started any of my classes, i'm in no position to talk about it, have only received study schedule and things like that.

On my first week in AIMST.

This is my uni!!! ain't it pretty!!
An aerial view of AIMST. Got wan teng to forward me this. thanks!

Other pics, well, until i've more time/access to the computer or rather better and safer internet connection

This campus is new and everything, so we're kinda privileged to have all the facilities thr lor.
This week has been more on speeches/talks/briefings/summarization/sharing by dean/profs/asst. registrars/lecturers etc.

Some of the stuff i've come to know about so far:
-med sch staff: vvv experienced/excellent/cream of the crop/fun/strict/no nonsense ppl etc
(not necessarily in that order nor does all adjectives apply to any certain individuals only)

-the sports complex is cool!! not THAT humongous in size but adequate enough. There are courts for basketball, tennis, squash, pingpong, badminton, a gym, running track and an olympic sized swimming pool etc. there! if only there were more badminton courts... so many ppl rebut that limited number of places.............

-some of the students AND staff do make full use of the sports complex. The pool for instance is quite packed the day me n my frens went for the first time. The number of badminton courts available was not enough for the many ppl that may want to play, and so you could see some ppl playing OUTSIDE the courts/in the complex/at the 'hallway' area behind the security guard
another eg: Prof Ong works out everyday!! (frm wad we've seen ths few days lah) swim today, jog tmr............

-medical block only opens one of the 'twin towers' doors....

-there really ARE med students who attempt suicide and experience mental breakdown. so must jaga-jaga n dun let ourselves succumb to the NEGATIVE reactions towards stress factors
eh nobody die in aimst yet lah... this kinda thing happen in every med sch in the world okay...
Stats we were given were from a US study. Relationship deterioration, depression, suicide rate all increase if we're in the med field man.... *sweats*

-cannot go near the gng jerai area thr... (got 'something' there) if wanna lepak/date/wadeva, go to the more 'open' spaces in the middle compound of the campus better......

-the admin building is whr we hone our 'fighting', 'debating' and 'persuasive' skills...

-dress code: strictly formal! don't play play~

-Being late for lectures will result in being kicked out/attendance not taken/door to lecture theaters locked etc.

-the med curriculum is modeled after bristol's (uk uni) and then adapted to the malaysian needs

-AIMST Students can beat public uni students in clinicals wan u knw!

-Batch 14 (that's our batch) it the biggest intake to date. (i wonder if the future intakes are gonna be this big??)

-Lecture buildings/libraries are VVVVV cold!! but we have no aircon in our rooms!! (adapting to this harsh change of 'climates' is so gonna wreck a havoc and cause a breakout!)

-population of flies are increasing hyperbolically. (okay mb i'm exaggerating that)
BUT they are so irritating lah! Friday morning, 2 flies committed suicide in my cup of milo. Friday's lunch, another one can be found in my plate of unfinished meal.
(i found a bug in the midst of my greens the other day, but it wasn't a fly though)
My food seems to be some kind of attraction for flies and insects man... Whatever else is the reason they won't tarnish the edibility of other ppl's food??

-the veggies from the chinese food section, tastes funny. so i don't eat veggies thr. BUT i just ate a lot just now! cos out at kopitiam there!! authentic chinese food man!!

-our museum got pretty pretty preserved stuff that is fun to look at and to learn from... whoopie!

-cadaver
tq, those who have made this noble contribution so that we sakai med students can learn more n eventually get to save more ppl's lives when we're doctors!

-our seniors, first meeting is er..... undescribable due to lack of vocab for now

-aiyohhh so many things to write abt... i can't remember what i left out/have written already lah....... so stop here!! muahahahah!

On the other hand, I'm starting to get worried about whether i can cope with being a medico or not. Sure does seem terrifying. Summore i'm NOT a really good student that scores straight As and things like that.

Sien-ness...

Oh well.... Aimst is terrific so far.
Except for the flies, and small cubicles for showers, lack of safe/secure/reliable internet connection for my laptop and er weird tasting veggies??

Conclusion: It's live-able. Was much better than what i had expected in the first place anyway...

PS: Cameron highlands is waiting for me!! cool cool air for me this weekend!~~ V much a contrast with the non air conditioned hostel.......

Miri-changes??

2008-09-13T23:24:00.003+08:00

I went to Miri City Fan this evening with my 2 sisters, Audrey and Annie.

Lo and behold, we stumbled into a mini mat rempit gathering a few minutes after we were there!!

They started their lil 'gathering' at the the pathways around the middle of the square-ish stage thingie!!

One by one, vroom vroom into the PARK with MOTORCYCLES!!

hello, people?? it's a park! it's meant for recreational activities not meant to involve motorcycles that plague our lungs with carcinogens!!

How has miri changed?? Or maybe it's just that i never realized their EXISTENCE?

the other one encounter i had with them was when i was out at the saberkas night market

on another unrelated note, flying in less than 12 hours!! and not even half finished my packing.......

Farewell to miri. And greetings to this ulu land

2008-09-13T00:34:00.003+08:00

Flying to kl sunday morning.

Gonna shop and shop for all my 'appropriate' clothing needed

Taking bus to kulim on monday nite to find uncle first....

Then registration day: Tuesday

tq daddy and audrey for helping me with luggage! MuaksS!

Death

2008-09-10T23:18:00.004+08:00

death

silences the cries of a child

topples down those in the pinnacle of their lives

gracefully accepted among the aged

death

the fear of most

from ancient times until the endless future

attemps to conquer death

futile aspirations

death

creeps crawls slithers

its presence

hardly ever predicted

death is here

Medical Check-up

2008-09-10T22:41:00.004+08:00

I went for a medical check-up at Miri City Medical Centre (MCMC) yesterday, just so i could get the form filled for my entry to uni. Twas a last minute decision, 'cause dad says it's nearer. And so, off i went, in full anticipation, to have my very first chest x-ray. Muahahaha

What was truly unexpected of that visit to MCMC, was that i found Dr Kenny Lee Kian Yee, the Most Outstanding Youth of the Year (2007) (at the 3rd AYA Dream Malaysia Awards). This was my first reaction when i say him:

you.... you... you're the AYA... AYA guy right??

UGH, talk about professionalism, it was so lame now that i think back about it... EEsh! embarass myself for eternity~~~

Anyways, Dr Lee's from Kajang. And now, alternates his weeks between Long Lama and Miri, EVERY WEEK=change location. And his wife is Kayan!! ain't that cool!! anyways, what i learned about him was that he actually planned to specialize in the buka ppl's body area one, but he also had the passion for his poems. And then, there was all this dillema about what to do. But in the end, he gave surgery the chop and fly here to sarawak. And now, considers Miri=part time work.
Cos he does his work for free one when he's in Long Lama. WAH... how many ppl do you actually know that is so wei da right... and so, he gets to earn SOME money, help ppl in the rural areas, plus writing!

O.o woooooooo

Anyways, he gave me a thought or 2 regarding medicine- That studying medicine is exruciatingly tough on your mind, but you'll enjoy the pain. Muahahaha!
or maybe something along those lines lah.....

Then i got to learn about the normal position/size of the heart, what happens when 'this and that' is different, learn whr the lungs are by looking out for the bronchioles, what diseases that can be seen from xrays (fibrosis smtg??), the gender of the patient
(by seeing whether boobs are present!! i forgot to ask how to see if a female has a flat chest/ fat males of those filled with so much oestrogen that they may have boobs??)
More along the general path, nothing really specific like ALL THE NAMES OF THE DISEASES??

anyways, twas great fun. Cool first medical check-up to have, if you ask me!
:P

i'm confused. are you?

Realization

2008-09-08T00:31:00.003+08:00

I was lying on my bed, couldn't get to sleep for some reason or another

Or maybe i was just putting into deep thought some of those fleeting lil pieces that slip through your mind once in a while

I realized

I really do want to go to aimst after all

even more badly than imu

I realized

that i'm looking forward to 'that' day more and more

even if it means leaving before the mid autumn's festival

I realized

I actually think quite a lot more than i thought i usually do

now that i'm putting some of it into words

I realized

Some things in life that happen are REALLY what The Lord wills for us to have

and that what we mere beings think/do

we will not be able to fight what He has prepared ahead of us

I realized

that it is truly Him that knows us the best

for sometimes

we ourselves do not

He made me see

the transition from primary to secondary education

and how i eventually came to love it

He made me see

how i had yearned to be strong

and went such a long way

for my pre-university education

He made me see

how aimst is what i truly want

There might be toil and turmoil yet to be endured

There might be obstacles yet to be overcome

There might be storms yet to be subdued

There might be ...

He made it all clear

that MY mind was already set on it

right from the beginning

Lord

is this what You want me to see?

Biting Frenzy

2008-09-07T21:27:00.006+08:00

I've always been plagued by mosquitoes back home in Miri. Especially the first few days/2weeks that i'm back.

It's almost like a ritual! A not very good one of course, as those bite numbers can reach more than 10 in just ONE limb. so that's 40 for my hands n legs, plus some on my neck/face other parts etc......

Look at the hutan behind that fence.

No wonder my house=breeding ground for mosquitoes

Frust man...

2008-09-05T00:45:00.003+08:00

If i don't get that enrolment pack from AIMST by this coming Monday or Tues,

i'm so gonna forget about them and go to IMU instead!!!

I know you're all busy and so on... but the intake date is 15th September 2008 man....

I wanna get my hands on that pack o stuff man....

man... man... this is so abigail man....

HEHEHEHE

14/08/08- IMU interview

2008-09-05T00:16:00.004+08:00

Reached really early, and got to tour around for a bit and had fun getting lost. On the other hand, Spent some time on the papers whilst waiting for my turn/name to be called.

The whole thing took about 15 minutes.

The questons i got:
1. Tell me about yourself in a few sentences
i talked a bit about fam, edu, things i like etc.
(comment: i see that you don't have a problem in speaking english, even though you have rcvd your primary education in chinese eh? *muahahhaha*)

2. Why do you want to be a doctor?

3. Why IMU??
what i told them was true!! really wanted to go what...
(but then... circumstances don't allow it... i'd love to... but........sigh....)

4. Situation: Assume you are a pilot on this plane. A person suffers from heart attack.
Destination A: 2 hours away, thunderstorm, may endanger the others on the plane
Destination B: many many many hours away.
What to do????
Gave a not so creative answer to this one (even da interviewer said so himself):
if i'm da pilot, of cos i would be da best one around and would not experience any problem from those 'difficulties' in landing bah
then extra explanation based on that
(ya a bit muka tembok i know.. but i really didn't know what to say bah)

5. If a patient offers you 'something' (gift/whatever lah), do you accept??
of course not! duh..... explain well though....
If you do accept kan, wouldn't there be a conflict of interest (nolah just wanna show tat i study thinking skills)
professional ethics that you adhere to... explaination....

6. Are there any questions that you have for US??

That should be more less about it, albeit the change in the phrasing, points and all.... There's no right or wrong answer in the interview though. As long as you can present/support your stand well.

Lesley just had her interview... Wonder if they like her?? LOL
I don't think she has any problem getting through the interview though. She only speaks fluent english, malay and weird sounding chinese?? lol!

Personally, I think that as long as you have reached what i call their 'minimum' language standard that they hold, there's no problem acing the interview. Of course they do look at your resultslah. However, even if you have the best results any exam board can give you, but lack the communication/language skills required, then er, let me put it this way:

Will you understand what the patient is talking about/

will the patient understand what you're saying??

I'm diving in the MEDICAL profession!!!

2008-09-02T21:39:00.003+08:00

Hola~

I know I know, this is so suprising right?? Can you imagine?? Karen Tan=white jubah at work?? with stethoscopes n specs n being responsible of the many lives that MAY come across her??

Oh well, unbeknownst to many, lil karen had this small fluttering hope to do this for quite some time already, but didn't take the loudspeaker to announce to the whole world. Main reason: scared i wouldn't have what it takes to reach for 'the stars'?? And so there was all this back up plans to go for law/finance/econs n the like.

Anyways, lil karen wanted to medicine. But then, family can only afford a local medical degree OR finance/law n capalang degree overseas that takes 3/4 years.
but lil karen still carry this small fluttering hope. And applied for AIMST & IMU. now, i've received offers to go to IMU & AIMST now!! woohoo!!

Doing the mbbs at AIMST will cost less then rm300k, whereas for IMU, 410k. I would really really like to go back to kl, what with all the ppl i know there, the excellent public transport (comparatively to the ulu ulu place bahhh), the place, the malls, acts etc.....

BUT, i think i'll be choosing AIMST.
Yeah, it's so 'kampung', and the food ala indian (everyday???), and no malls, my church how??, have to depend on the bus provided,v mafan to balik kampung etc.
i've thought about a few good points though. The library is excellent from what i've heard from lesley who has been there visiting, the sports facilities (yay got place to finally work out, but dunno got the motivation to do so or not), SOME ppl i know will be there, like lesley, xl, lily, jas. erm well i think that's about it?? oh yeah it's MORE THAN 100K CHEAPER!!

but jebby, n cs, sy, cc etc. well a lotta ppl are at imu......

OH WELL..... the conclusion is, most probably going for aimst, which starts like in less than 2 weeks!! omgosh, need to pass up my resignation letter, pack, kaotim bank accounts, a trip to dr aziz's....

Boulevard Miri's Smart Ice??

2008-08-31T22:10:00.003+08:00

=.="

Budget 2009

2008-08-29T21:20:00.002+08:00

* Excise duty specific on cigarettes increased by three sen from 15 sen per stick to 18 sen per stick. With this, the duty for a 20-stick pack of cigarettes is now increased by 60 sen.

Excellent! higher priced ciggies... (This ain't sarcasm, okay) Higher price=less smoking
It's not that i'm against smokers or anything. It's just that I can't stand being around some smoking when i'm there! Especially when i've just washed my hair... very the smelly okay... Plus, you'll kill me with all those carcinogens and stuffssss that blacken my lungs! Lung Cancer! (which will eventually lead to a full fledged battle with cancer=v the suffering lor) Bronchitis! Emphysema! Medical expenses ain't getting cheaper by the day lah!!

* The highest marginal tax rate for individuals be reduced from 28% to 27%, effective the year of assessment 2009. In addition, the marginal tax rate of 13% will also be reduced to 12%, which will benefit the middle income group.

* Government pensioners who had served at least 25 years upon retirement, will receive a pension of not less than RM720 per month, effective Jan 1 2009.

* A bonus of one-month salary, subject to a minimum of RM1,000 for 2008. The bonus will be paid in two instalments, namely in September and December 2008.

Hurray for mummy!!

* RM580mil and RM420mil allocated for Sabah and Sarawak respectively to increase income and enhance quality of life of Malaysians there by improving basic amenities, such as electricity, water and rural roads.
* Allocation of RM3bil to intensify efforts to further develop Sabah and Sarawak for infrastructure projects, including 266 km of federal and rural roads, benefiting more than 550,000 residents.
* An allocation of RM3.3bil is provided for Sarawak to implement various projects, including the construction of 230 km of federal and rural roads, benefiting more than 350,000 residents.

I suppose this is the least they should do since the East Malaysians are so supportive of BN.... but anyway!! yay for SWK! money money come....

* All interest income from savings for individuals be tax exempt.

With that pittance interest that they're giving out for savings account... Even the inflation can beat the money they get... none the less, 1 cent is 1 cent (even is they make the 1cents go bye bye liao but still...)

* Reduce import duties on various consumer durables from between 10% and 60% to between 5% and 30%. These include blender, rice cooker, microwave oven and electric kettle.
Full import duty exemption on several food items, which currently attract import duties of between 2% and 20%. These include vermicelli, biscuits, fruit juices and canned sweet corn.

Now this is relevant. food!!

Improving Public Transportation
* A sum of RM35bil will be expended during the period 2009 to 2014 to improve public transportation.

hmm, 35 billion for 5 years= 7 billion per year....
Now this is good for those taking public transport! But I can't help but notice that a lot of the money goes to the the kl and penang development... Well i guess there are many transportation woes that didn't go unreported?? Lol... this is great news for the locals there though

*The government has proposed a 100 percent exemption of import duty and a 50 percent exemption in the excise duty on new completely built-up units (CBU)), of hybrid cars.

*Malaysians can expect better health facilities and services following the government’s commitment to set aside RM13.7 billion for their enhancement next year.

Oh well i've dug out the ones that are relevant to me, or at least that interest me.
The rest?? Go check newspaper lah if you really want to.

Teaching?

2008-08-29T20:43:00.003+08:00

For those who have yet known, I'm currently temp-ing (being a temporary teacher) at SMK Chung Hua Miri, and have been doing so for the last 2 months actually. Just wanted to share some interesting info that i've gathered...

As I usually sit in for absent teachers that have either gone on sick leave/course etc, I had the oppurtunity to go to various classes, from reform to form 6 (some of them are like my age??), from A classes to K and L classes, but have not certainly covered ALL though.

In general, the upper form science stream students are generally not THAT 'kepo' about all the particulars of the teachers that come in for a brief stint. Even the most talkative of students, mostly keep to their own gang. Do note that even science stream students can be quite challenging to handle sometimes when they get over the teacher's head.
On the other hand, the upper form art stream and lower form students take quite a lot of interest of any new teacher that they might come across and will do their best in the interrogation session. Questions can range for the most basic background info to outrageous ones that I'm thinking twice about talking about it.
Oh well, the only reason i can think about their 'attitudes' lower form peeps and arts stream playful students are still much more in their 'carefree' days in comparison to the upper form science stream peeps...

How I miss being THAT carefree... or am i not now?? hmmm.... No idea...
Oh ya, many students very 'kurang ajar' nowdays y'know.... Sigh... Kids nowadays... But of course there some exceptions that i've come across and i happen to like them okay....

oh yes, another thing. Lousy class don't mean all of 'em are lousy students. A few are actually quite good natured/willing to help/listen/make an effort in their studies. AT LEAST they do something with their life!! Not like those who are actually really smart, BUT..... *shakes head*
Those who just waste their life are the most hutang pukul one... It's not as if they're stupid. And even if they REALLY suck in studies... attitude baik sikit lah.... eesh bah...

hmm... i just realized this is so outta topic.

:P

Brimming with happiness

2008-08-28T21:53:00.003+08:00

I'm really really happy today

wanna know why??

:P

I'll announce when the time is confirmed/right!!

Lord, I want to give thanks for all that has happened in my life. It is true that only You could have done so much for us, and for me.
Thank You thank You thank You!

I miss being away

2008-08-27T22:57:00.001+08:00

I miss being away from the family.

Being at home means:
-being able to rely on others (like, parents)
-constant criticism and people hovering over mistakes
-most chores no longer necessary
-chores that are asked to be done are done unwillingly
-lack of appreciation as time drones on
-driving the car
-all the internet, astro, air conditioning needs satisfied
-food is kaotim-ed for you
-get money from parents
-get to buy a lotta junk food!!
-etc.

Being away means:
-phone calls every fortnight (approximately)
-takde org jaga bila sakit
-being able to go wherever, whenever (taking into consideration many factors of course)
-doing chores WITHOUT the grudge, even happily at times
-no curfew
-independance (as in making decisions-wise)
-public transport
-no entertainment (tv, internet)
-constant 'what to eat??' worries
-get money from parents via atm
-etc.

Now that i've been back in Miri for 2 months now, my theory about my/family's behaviour has been proven.

Usually at home, kena target when a certain person's mood is on the cloudy side. I'm a sensitive person. The slightest bit of criticism can put a huge dent in my self esteem, and pride, and thoughts, and etc etc. In short, very the not nice lor.

However, being away for quite some time THEN coming back: exceptionally good for the first few weeks. Lots of fish in meals (likey fishyyy), less volcano erruptions, no nonsense about pushing to do chores, less criticisms.
After the 'honeymoon' period?? back to the old treatments. Okay, okay, lousier than during honeymoon period but a LITTLE better than before the first departure.

Being away, I'm more concious of money spent, actually MISS the family sometimes (you have to know that I already had plans to fly away from the nest around primary 4 lehh), appreciate them a bit more, loving miri for the way it is (i would hate to see it it change though), and er temporary mind block for now.

Oh well, I miss being away. (for now at least haha)

Kaleidoscopic

2008-08-27T20:41:00.000+08:00

A kaleidoscope is a tube of mirrors containing loose colored beads, pebbles or other small colored objects. The viewer looks in one end and light enters the other end, reflecting off the mirrors. As the tube is rotated, the tumbling of the colored objects presents the viewer with varying colors and patterns. Any arbitrary pattern of objects shows up as a beautiful symmetric pattern because of the reflections in the mirrors.

Kaleidoscpic will be a platform to launch my thoughts/feelings to the world. Its sole purpose is to vent out the various issues that I may ponder upon, which may include frustration/anger to blissful happiness or even interesting aspects of my life that i may wish to 'force upon' the world.

My apologies, should anyone feel victimised/framed/sad etc. It is certainly not my intention to cause any harm upon others. On the other hand, should you feel humoured by my extremely lack of wit, again i offer my sincerest 'apologies'.

:)

I do hope Kaleidoscopic will not be one of my failed 'schemes' that eventually loses flavour with time.

Do leave comments. I may (or may not) take them into consideration in the future.
Muahahaha

ANYWAYS!! There'll be more and more of me to look out for in the future!
Though i highly doubt that ppl will look out for it anyway?? haha!
