I'm still alive!!

Dear blog,

I'm sorry that I've been neglecting you.. Lol.

I've just started my internship and OMG.. I mean, everyone's been telling me that workin life ain't easy, but no one ever said it was this tiring! Seriously. I actually like my job and what I'm doing, but I seriously have no time to rest at all! I worked last weekend and tomorrow I've got to go to work again. What happened to the "4-day week contract" they promised me when I signed in for the job man...!!!? I haven't had a day of rest for the past 12 days man, and tomorrow makes the 13th! Talk about being superstitious.

Anyway, I do enjoy most parts of my job. For example, there were some guests from Lancaster (& Sheffield) University last weekend and Cassie (who's also on the job) and I got to tag along in the "entertaining" bit. It was seriously a once in a lifetime opportunity and I absolutely loved the experience! Having the three of them, being world authorities in their fields treating me like a friend and colleague at undergrad level is seriously no joke ok! I could be hang for this absolutely-unheard-of-disrespectful-relationship!

In addition to that, I've admistered tests on 2 patients!! I'm sooo excited. Lol. The sucky bit comes in when we have to rush our reports. Gahhh... It's ghastly! The price you pay for doing something you like. Wayyy expensive!

Anyway, looking forward to the neuro case tomorrow morning!! A little panicky & nervous, but I'm sure it's gonna be a piece of cake. Heh. Yeah. Right.

Bangkok here we come!

Okay, so here's the most exciting news of all..

We've been waiting for months, and then weeks, and then days.. And now it's counting down the hours before our very next trip- Bangkok ! Hrmmph! I truly deserve this.

I've been working my butt out since Day 1 of Semester 7 (Finally in 3rd and FINAL year!) and not only I have to work on my thesis in addition to the regular academic work, I gotta now do some designing thingy for the upcoming symposium in OCTOBER! One thing, if I had wanted to do this designing thing I would have gone to designing school, not psychology. Grr. Thank God for HT who keeps saving my butt for me. Phew.

So, at 10.20 in the p.m. tonight, we're all flying off to all our well deserved stress-free shopping trip to BKK. Yummy yum. Well it's actually still stressful cause I haven't had the time to pack..!! Omg. And I'm down with, the FLU. And bloooody photoshop or illustrator or image ready ain't working and I wanna finish up all my work before I leave before Dr.Priya starts calling me when I'm having my relaxation time. Not good. Plus, thesis !! I haven't had time to even concentrate on my experiment!! Gahh... God forgive my soul..

Imma put up lotsa lots of photos when I'm back!! Promise.

I'm very much still alive!!

Ok, take deep breaths, calm down..

EXAM'S ALL OVER!! Almost ever! Not that it lessens my workload but things aren't that Urgent anymore. Doesn't make anything less important though. But at least I'm free! Yeah right. It's the 3rd day after the last paper and I haven't actually caught up on lost sleep. I'm a busy girl, and as Uncle Sunny would say, "what can I say?". Well said!

And it's not about my almost non-existent social life ok. I haven't even had time to socialise with my friends!! And I'm still going back to Uni everyday as if my holidays haven't even started yet!! Yes, I have a right to put all this exclamation marks! Here's why:

1. Working on the design for the symposium booklet cover!! Omg. Thank you HT!!
2. Working on the poster and publication for the symposium in October (mind you I did not volunteer for this, it was imposed upon me!!).
3. ECHO mag launch was yesterday so one burden off my shoulders.
4. Gotta look for sponsors and advertisers for ECHO.
5. Emceeing for Freshie Nite 2.
6. Gotta think of what to dress!!
7. BLOODY THESIS!! Grr..
8. Gotta get everything done by next week soooo I can finally (actually) enjoy myself when I'm in Bangkok!!
9. Shopping !! Not that it is a hassle but I gotta shop for formal wear (internship purposes) and this really an unfamiliar territory! Never really shopped for that kinda stuff. Ahh well, it'll get to me. I'm a girl after all.. These things come naturally. (Baby, stop laughing, shut up and move on reading!!)

Lets not forget little petty issues like:

1. Gotta take care of Momsie while I'm here.
2. Forget number 1. She can already do that. I just need to do the things she can't do yet like cook, wash, clean!
3. The in-disposable driver for my sister.
4. Band practices (ain't complaining guys, I love it actually. Didn't realise how much I miss it till last night).
5. Too many to list.. But the thing that's bugging me now is my thesis.
   Semangat oh semangat, where thou art ?! I was very excited about starting my thesis project and getting it done and over with. Maybe I'm just tooooo tired now. Or I just need Dr. Teoh (my supervisor) to pump up my spirit with one of his motivational talks. Lol.

Anyway, I miss my life !!! Damn. I thought I couldn't wait till my exams were over. Now I can't wait to just get my thesis done and over with...

Will post more photos up next time.. Hehehe.
OMG ! What to wear tonight !? So many rules !! Cover left cover right cover everywhere.. Grr!

Animals have rights too !!

I, hereby declare that I'm a meat lover!! Can't live without them, especially chicken. If you hang out with me long enough, you'd realise that I can't survive without chicken. I crave for them everyday. Except for the entire Lent period that I go vegetarian and every Fridays, which I suffer through without meat, I feel the need to eat meat everyday!! Especially chicken!! Lol. Must be because my grandma sells chicken noodles.

As much as I do not agree that people should be vegetarians (unless it's for religious or spiritual purposes), I've always thought it stupid that people would give up that wonderful taste and texture of meat, I have one thing to say. The meat industry is way too inhumane to.. to..!! Omg, you guys are too heartless I can't even find the words to describe how I am feeling right now. I mean, yeah, I agree that meat is God's gift to us, we should eat meat it's good for us when we do not over eat it, etc etc.. But hey, our ancestors did fine when the animals were let out free in the wild or even kept in farms.. At least their growth were not induced to the extent that they become crippled. They grew normally! And that's the way it should be. Not put them in cages and torture them and castrate them (wtf?) and let them die a slow, painful death !!

Here we are questioning why more and more people are dying, why cancer is taking over the world, do you people realise what you've been putting into your mouths ? Do you even question what  goes into your mouth? Is it clean from all the industrial hormones in your meat and chemicals on your vegetables? We're all dying a slow, painful death because some idiots here are trying to make a few extra cents per mouthful of food you put into your mouth !! Bloody asses !! Wtf is wrong with you !!? You're not only killing us, the people you don't know but you're killing your family and friends too.. Yeah sure, you'll get rich and make a fortune, but what's the point of all that when you're gonna live in misery here and die and rot in hell too ? Don't you even have a conscience?! Imagine you being treated the same way, yeah.. I hope one day the same fate will fall upon you!

Animals have rights too, even if they can't speak for themselves. Shame on you people! It is because we have brains and are supposedly superior to animals that we have to protect their rights, not strip them off it.

So anyway, why am I even saying this? If you'd be so kind as to follow the yellow brick road, lol, no to click on this link you'd soon realise why.. The Disgusting Truth is something everyone should know about!

It's not as if I can stand being a vegetarian all my life either, but something has to be done. I'm sure there are other ways to stop these acts of inhumanity. I don't think I wanna go to the extent of not eating meat either, that's really extreme.

Anyone with suggestions of how I could go about it ?

P.S. Ruby, relax. Breathe.. Take deep breaths. Inhale.. Exhale. Inhale.. That it girl!

Fish Spa

I had a terrible week! It was horrible.. I'd have to say that Thursday was just the icing on my most horrible cake! Not gonna get into details, but I've been sleeping as little as the creature that never sleeps till eye bags are forming !!! Sobs. Grr. I sooo wanna kill my self. Thank God for concealers!! So... Last night was basically day of the week spent most perfect. Fish spa with the girls, lol, if ya'll have never tried, GO ! Well, if you're ticklish it's gonna be a small problem, but hey, you'll get over it. Unfortunately, fish spa available in Malaysia only allows you to dip your leg in, so.. Japan, here we come! Lol. Maybe. Someday. Soon.. Oh, and we got this lil' CJ7 toy from Wuen Yar's friend.. For the Four of us.. Finally! It's really long overdue. We were suppose to get one friendship thingies since high school. That'll at least be uh, wow.. 5 years ago! Girls, we're really procrastinators man. Join my club!!

That's Wai Teng, Me, Wuen Yar, Huey Ting! Lol.

Dinner at Kim Gary's really brought back lots of memories. Nothing much has changed, especially for the part where we shamelessly just make fools of ourselves, uh.. Actually we make fools of ourselves everywhere we go anyway, it'll just have to be our trademark.

She's like damn bloody gangster ok!!

Then we moved to Waikiki where Baby was and spent about an hour there. Finally got to spend some time in his arms after such a long, hectic week of not being able to spend time with him. And not forgetting the kisses in between too. Mmm..

Pooh!! You're missing all the fun. Cheh. I mean, just the cam-whoring part.

And because we were soo tired, at least I was, we left Baby there with his friends after about an hour's of "attempts to dance" and "attempts to get remotely high". Sure, we were laughing like we were drunk already since the fish spa, but that's because I was soo tired I'd laugh anyway. But getting a lil' high is a totally different thing, and I deserve it okay !! Been working this meself a tad bit too much lately, and that's not including the fact that I haven't had the time to start studying for moi exams !! Oh God.. Bangkok, Bangkok, how I look forward to thy vacation opportunities and shopping spots..

Just to prove that I'm still alive.

I've got so much work in my hands. Somebody shoot me so I can die in peace and go to heaven. Wrote a to-do list this morning, and I've got to get 8 major things done by the end of the weekend. Why oh why did I go to the movies last night !!? Well, gee. Cause I thought I needed time-out. A girl needs her breathing space. And haven't been spending time with her baby at all.. And he deserves a little of her attention in the midst of the mess she's in. Grr.. Anyway, it's not like I regret it, but..
Dear God, why can't we have more hours in a day !!? Like 27 instead of 24? So a girl can finish her work and actually get a decent nights' sleep.

Was in Sky Bar last Friday with the girls for Wena's birthday. Omg, I miss those fun times filled with laughter and nonsense. Damn, I'm looking forward to that Bangkok trip !! This is all that stupid LHT's fault!! And then the next day, WT had to add to the excitement. Grr. Photos to be uploaded soon..

Fish Spa.. Here we come!!

Anxiety Takin Over.

Last year, my seniors warned us that life is gonna be tough once we get into our third year. We were all like, yeah right. We're living in hell already anyway.. How would our third year be any different? Here's a hint. Damn thesis!! I've got deadlines every week from now on, and on the most unlucky weeks, we have 2! Not to mention quizzes. And ECHO deadlines are coming up! And our damn newsletter! ahh! Thank God we've seen the last of surveys !! For the rest of the year, hopefully. Lol. Them terrible things.. We're cursed. I was practically begging everyone, friends and strangers alike to participate in my survey. Oh gosh, thesis research coming up. Anyone fancy being my, participant? Pretty please? Lol.

So I need a Knight in shining Armour to save me from all this pain.

I need to call it Quits

I'm so tired! I'm tired of sleeping late, I'm tired of all the research I have to do, I'm sick of journals on pdf, I'm tired of going to thol & ebsco & Google!! It's the perfect time to be in bed but nooo, I'm juggling between Internet Explorer (with journals on a few tabs, mind you!), Adobe Reader & Microsoft Word. Seriously. Oh, with The Longest Yard playing on the smallest box you've ever seen in your life at the bottom of my screen. Not even paying attention to it, it's just keeping me awake.

And yeah, tomorrow's a public holiday. No holiday for me anyway. My eye bags became worse despite the fact that I'm supposed to be getting my beauty sleep. Omg!!

The boyfriend is away for the weekend. Kind of.. Fishing trip, something like that. So I figured hey, we could have our Me Time. So much for 'Me Time'. Sigh.. I'm still too busy to do anything. Sorry Ryn, I am so well aware that we were supposed to hangout this week. I'll probably have less on my plate next week.

I'm sooo tired. I need to hire a Jocelyn look alike as my PA. Seriously.

Lol. This is the zombie speaking at 4 in the a.m.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

Can't help it. He's so funnily charming. Minus the hair..

Sorry, had a doze too much of American Idol today. It was playing back to back all day man, seriously!! If I wasn't busy with the damn autism review, I tell you. It wouldn't be running all day.

Toodles.

Another good reason to leave!!

I found another reason to leave this country!! Bad drivers I tell you.. Old men and women who don't know how to drive or drive worse than P drivers and yet they curse them like hell.. Effing drivers!! Imma start pretending that I have PTSD and suddenly lost all my ability to drive! Even if its a bloody sports car.

You know what's worse? These effing drivers on roundabouts. Yeah, sure we stereotype lorry drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers and the such to be unscrupulous drivers, but these fools (doesn't matter what car they are driving), they are as bad.. ^$#@&*^

I hate it when they just wanna block you for no reason when their turning is meng meng jammed packed!! Not only my side will be blocked, you can't even move if you block me so what is the effing point of blocking me in the first place !?!?!??! *&^%$#^!!

Fools!! You block me for what!!? If you'd just calm down and let me pass through then the bloooody roundabout wouldn't be stuck, stups!! What are you, 3 !!? And you don't even have the brains to put on your effing signals and you honk me when I have to push my way through. What are you, retarded !?! If no one's gonna let me through I obviously have to fight my way through, stups! I don't wanna be stuck there all evening because of these effing people. Don't even know how to describe them anymore..
Wtf is wrong with you people? Got half your brain eaten by maggots !?

Another thing that irritates me is people slowing down when the traffic light is green and stop in time when it turns red!! OMG!! Hello, green means go so you speed up a little to make it in time to cross over to the other side BEFORE the traffic lights turn red!! And you know what irritates me more than these traffic light maniacs!!? Those who drive so slowly when it's green that they are the ONLY ones who get to pass to the other side BEFORE the lights turn red again that the people behind has to speed through. Yeah, and those poor souls who have poor hearts will just stop and wait for their turn the next round. WTF !!? It's a fast moving world, everyone's in a hurry, so if you're planning to take it slow then drive on the effing slow lane. Don't hog the fast lane, stups!!Omg!! Your mother never teach you manners ar !!?

Phew. And I have to pass through that roundabout every day.. It's not that bad, it's only bad when I have to struggle out from that particular exit. The only way home from campus without having to go through that ridiculous jam to USJ. So there.. I need to leave this country so I don't die young.. Meanwhile, the PTSD plan sounds good.

Apple Juice

I love apple juice, among other things..

So when we were out for dinner yesterday and there was this promotion for some apple juice thingy in Sushi King, yours truly just had to have it.

See!! And I think they put less sugar in it or something.. It was nice anyway..

And how small it is when baby holds it. Grr.. Oh well. It lasted all my dinner and carried it all the way to the cinema anyway.. (Finished it before going into the cinema, obviously!) And we watched What Happens in Vegas. Funny but predictable.. So there. Vin literally fell asleep in the cinema, poor baby..

Highlight of the day:
1.Had lunch in MichaelAngelo or something for Lecturer's Appreciation Day. Right.. And well, Mia Palencia was there performing; and wow! Always wanted to go to her performances whenever Clare & Brennan goes but timing was always an issue. I mean, I know she's good and all that, we have her CDs, I listen to it whenever Clare plays it, but wow. It's different when it's live and unplugged okay! Anyway, bought her latest CD (heard it already, all you peeps should invest in it, btw. And no, I don't get anything for telling you this. Ya'll should support our local music anyway..) for Clare as a belllaaaaaated birthday present. Got it signed, took loads of photos but I don't have them at the moment so that'll be posted later on.

2. I have a new lap top!! Er.. Not mine technically. It belongs to my family and thus is to be shared among my family members. Ahh. Nevertheless, it's our new baby !! Muahaha. Finally gave up cause we're so fed up of fighting for the one we had.. Now we can do our assignments together and we don't even have to fight.. Clare and I, that is.
