interval

Location: Lcct

Time: 1.21pm

Time of plane departure: 6.35pm

What 2 do: Blog! Lol.


Sequence of events brought to mind.

Wed: studied, watched Boleyn sth (hehe I 4got the title) at klcc, had lunch there, got lost looking 4 monorail, made it 4 amsa meeting, steamboat at setapak, missed medic cg, bt made it 4 Hope's cg, felt extremely guilt conscious.

Thurs: had a full morn at fac, times sq 4 sing jie's bday stuff, bday celeb (whr I got conned), debate prac (played 2 rounds of mafia, debated 1 round, sambung 'discussion' at the café until I realised I havent packed n its few mins 2 midnite.

Fri: I woke up at 6.15am (WOW lol) packed up last min stuff, used every toilet, brushed teeth at every sink, showered in every shower cubicle, knocked on every door, farewell-ed every cat and kissed my mum goodbye , went 2 fac, had the longest 2 hr lecture bt it was fruitful no doubt at least I understand pharmacokinetics parameters now lol, bullied KJ into carrying my 2300kg (according 2 KJ) hand luggage 2 the monorail, got 2 KL sentral, sky bused 2 lcct, n here I am. J Mc-D-ing Keh len! :P


As lcct came into view I just tot of my flight here 2 months plus ago. Waiting 4 ukm's bus 2 bangi, bunking in w jacq in a key-less 2 bedder room whr we photoshopped ourselves on jacq's laptop, called home n complained complained complained (muahahhah), eddie msging 2 say his block kena black-out n he cant see anyting n his room has weird furniture orientation cz its 1 of those out-of-shape corner rooms, blocked the door w our min 30kg luggage in case a stalker comes walking by in the middle of the night n decides 2 bunk in, had ppl banging on the door at 2am (I tink we took sum PC's room by mistake muahahha), woke up next day 2 register, lugging jacq's (I dunno how heavy but I was strong so I cud stil manage Hahahhahaha….) luggage(s) 2 block 13 (isit 13??) 1 of the furthest blocks inside n wondering how 2 lug it up 2 the 4th floor whn sum1's dad pitied us weary-looking weaklings n helped (PRAISE THE LORD or else I tink we'd only reach the next day), going thru the ups n downs of MPP (orientation wk)– I've described it in earlier post tho not 2 much detail. The most significant memory that stood out that time tho was how every1 slept during the day through the orientation activities (speeches, talks blah) n woke up at night through the orientation activity s well (whn seniors blast thru the loudspeakers into ur ears its hard 2 block out the frequency n volume) Lol. Basically the chronology, day 1-3: very very enthusiastic, made frens, spoke in mandarin!!! Grins. Ran enthusiastically 2 buses LOL etc. Day 4- fed up. Day 5- so fed up I just went looking 4 jacq n mar-jie n stuck 2 them literally thruout the day, afternn, evening, night, dawn, sun, moon, rain. Then it was BYE BYE BANGI!!!!!!


N HELOOO KTSN!!!! All was fine until, TADAH!! Reached my room, grabbed the i-tink-is-the-better-side-of-the-room LOL, n gosh. My swakian senior came 2 visit!! Instantly I tot she was my buddy, but later found out not necessarily, but anw in the end she bcame my buddy. Haha. Ok I wil cut the long story short. Basically, my stay in KT for the last 2 months plus was very satisfying. (ppl only start making dis sort of reflections whn they leave the place lol) no I'm not emo-ing haha.


Things learnt:

  • Faith in God in all circumstances.
  • Not taking ppl for granted. To be appreciatve.
  • Debating is fun :P, debaters r even funner, n disturbing cher linn is even even funner!! muahahhahaHHHHHHHHHHH… (jk I just HAd to put dat in grin)
  • Hostel n uni life is a LOT of self independence, self esteem, self confidence, postive outlooks, n just being urself.
  • Not going online doesn't kill u. (after 7 months of adequate access after stpm)
  • Long hours of phone calls r expensive. Muahaha.
  • Medic in UKM is fun. Lol.

*Lee Fang: When u rebut pls do NOT give ONE LINERS!! Substantiate each point. I'd rather hav u give me 1 rebuttal fully elaborated than 10 rebuttals of one liners. GLARE*


In dat case I shall continue 2 rant on substantiate each of my points. Wahahahha..

Nola. I'm not DAt obsessed w myself to talk bout myself n my life n MY tots n MY dreams n MY nitemares n MY fav food, fav drink, fav colour, fav victim, fav ……….. in 1000 words. I will end my post wif a summary so dat u can recollect my points n thus leave this blog educated. :D lol.

*my mcD fries r getting soft n I still hav half a cup of Coke 2 last me a lifetime here in McD.*


3-month-KL-influences:

  • U start telling ppl dat u live on trees, walk barefooted n thrive on paku pakis in Swak.
  • U start using the word R*cist excessively for no reason.
  • U start exclaiming "OMG!!!!!" in an exagerated manner (portruding eyeballs, eyebrows raised 3cm, mouth wide open >4.5cm) accompanied by a bimbo-like motion.
  • U start taking the bus again after vowing not to board any bus after a bad experience 2 wks ago.
  • U start eating McD like no1's business.
  • U start trying 2 learn cantonese until u noe it better than ur own hometown dialect (in my case its bcz I dun even noe my hometown, or rather blood-borned dialect)
  • U start wanting 2 eat try food frm all over west msia.
  • U start being noisy again after failing attempts 2 get ev1 in this-new-place 2 think u're quiet n demure (HAHA) ok maybe not. I mean, dat u're sane n normal like any other individuals. (UKM male medic debaters excluded due to outlier-ish characteristics muahahahha)
  • U start blogging on every single minute detail of things happening ard u / in ur life
  • U start complaining that online access is not enough even though u get access at least once a week.
  • U start recognising purple fettishes. LOL. (altho this is an extremely isolated case that pertains only 2 a certain peanut butter loving individual hahahhahahah)


At the very moment, I feel very blessed n blissful bcz I'm going home, I obviously wont hav 2 study 2day, I'm well fed (haha), I'm not suffering frm any form of illness, and I'm in McD hogging this corner table since 3 hours ago, n I stil hav cher linn's books 2 occupy me, n 1 of them is Jeffrey Archer's!!!!! YAY!!!! :P

N I want to thank all friends for all the support, fun, laughter,4 keeping in touch, 4 putting up w me, 4 remembering a significant day in my life n 4 humouring me muahahha..


These sort of words only come out whn u're at the airport. Lol.

sth worth trying in McD:

whn u hav fries, ketchup n chilli.

Q: do fries taste better

dipped in chilli 1st

then ketchup?

or vice versa?

A: chilli 1st then ketchup!! lol....

well yeah i noe the fries dun look appealing. they're not photogenic cz well since whn was McDonald ever photogenic anw ... :P

Selamat Hari Raya ev1!!

- flight delay due 2 weather conditions. mari kita berkhemah - Cuti-cuti Msia!

The Cellulose Crusade

-by mighty mobile midgets (no correlation 2 me lol)

My mama once used to say,"Life is like two roads that diverge into a yellow wood."


The crusade!
Crusaders!

One day, our fellow midget-like crusaders decided 2 go jalan-jalan cari makan.

Lk any walk thru Chee Cheong Kai / Bintang Walk they were spoilt for choice by the variety of there was..

- Bright coloured plastic looking books. nnaaahh.. un-chewable.
my yellow plastic lecture notes filled file, grey pbl pbl-filled file, blue lab reports n practical book file, lecture notes filled ring file. lol.

erm yeah tim dun wori ur books r safe lol (thank GOD) or else hav 2 belanja u eat bak-kua 4 the rest of my 100 yr old life to pay 4 it.

-Dry chalky looking black white stapled loose sheets. Naaahhh.. Choke-able.

Walahh!! Damageable goods!

1) Hippie pickie!

- Tasty on the epidermal stratum corneum.
- U can nibble on the dry keratinised multi-lyr.
yeah even the cover that was plastic laminated on 1 side got chewed on leaving fashionable plastic edges.

2) Looking into community service? Take a bite!


My HM Khidmat Masyarakat notes. lol.

- A further nibble into humanity! i mean, termite-nity.



3) Histology! (study of ... at cellular level)

- Consumable in sizable amounts. Just nibble a hole or two.
4) THE ONE!

- Chef's recommendation.
- Tasty to the bones.






(My sis is going 2 kill me when she sees this)

Crusade aftermath.



To cut the long story short, MY BOOKSHELF GOT INFESTED BY TERMITES!!!! (reconsidering if i shud cont 2 fight 4 merits 2 stay in here next yr)

THW (the house will) allow micro-crusades at xu vin's expense.

Hence the mighty mobile crusaders shall prevail til i get 2 report abuse to office on mon. (birokrasi kerajaan)

I stil feel termite-like tinges on my skin. White crawling worm-like easy-to-flatten-but-leaves-juice-marks midgets!

cant imagine if i'd not felt rajin 2 take a look into the physio book (item 4) today, un-imaginable.. By then (after raya hols) even the strongest vertebrate/ human rid-ding repellent wont save my books. :S

So my 'rajin-ness' had me cleaning up my books n eliminating termites for > 1 hr resulting in dimishing urge to study n composing crap in my laptop.

-----------------------------
a few things worthy of note:
- the fact that i'm blogging so often is a sign that either there's sth wrong w me or the course. bt obviously since the course consists of 215 ppl so it cant be dat there's sth wrong w 215 ppl hence there's sth wrong w me. i think i'm slacking waaayyy too much.. uh oh. n seniors say this module is the toughest. study study study!!

- my on n off urge 2 go home n not go home has eventually subsided n bottle-necked to - i cant wait 2 get home! grin. n i just realised dat back in Kch, only me n jacq wil be ard. LOL. cz ev1 else is smarter not 2 go home drg raya whn flights r >>>$$$$ costly.

- i wan 2 watch Mamamia! muahahah...

-lecture starts in 25 mins. gtg!

3 hours later...
- i just had 2 lectures dis morn, n i am freaked out. quote: 'Lippincotts is too simple you can finish reading it over the weekend.' ???!!!! the 1st time i opened my Katzung ref bk i stared at the words, felt stupid, then close it 2 regain my confidence lol. now i hav 2 go back during raya, study everyday, start nerding and overcome the 'i feel stupid cz i dun understand wad the bk's talking bout' feeling. n 2 tink of it, yesterday i was saying 'wad 2 do whn go back 2 kt.... boooorrrriiinnngg... now its 'wad to do i hav 2 read everything n i havent started n i am freaking out n i am dumb n i duno how i'm going 2 pass this module n i just i just i just wan 2 go home n quit medical sch n i dun wana think bout anyting else *bangs head on wall 4 wake up call*' sori this is just a random emotionally affected post. LOL.

- technically i'm stil alive n typing away so it cnt be dat bad.

- as the country politicians continue 2 banter on in the midst of turmoil, i shall remain calm n ignorant bcz i'm not allowed 2 comment or i will hav 2 thrive on RM4.50 food everyday n my blog wil be shut down n no 1 will get 2 c my thick-skin-cosmetic-covered face photo anymore.

- i need to refrain from saying 'omg!!!!' n from using the word racist excessively 4 the same above reason and to preserve mental health. muahahaa.

- i need 2 rmb how 2 be a nerd again.

- i just realised actually nicole n drey teo wil b back in kch during raya s well. :D

lost

is it me or the library..?
i cant seem 2 get or find a single book on the ref list given 4 pbl in this Dr. Abdul Latiff high-tech-well-equipped-medical library... so is frustration an understatement..

maybe the shelves r too high. LOL.

this will explain my food intake during the last hols. cz i need >>> ATP whn i climb a million meters 2 reach the books on the shelves you see.


on a side note: i'd like 2 thank semua rakan-rakan who contributed 2 my never ending supply of mooncakes, candies, food food n more food etc.. LOL.

including qian yi who gave me a pearple (pear-ish apple or apple-ish pear??) last weekend. grins.


i stil cant find the books. lol. shall continue relying on the internet 4 material then..... -_-

A peek into a life of Peeg's (the black sheep)the pioneer for all animal rights.
- that four legged / pawed creatures deserve to be decently seated at the dining table.

and that they deserve to voice out their rights thru silent laughter and debate in International Animal Rights Forums. POI PLS! (pioneer of Kok Joo's signature POI-ing style)

ok i seriously side-tracked...
i shall continue searching for pbl stuff now.. lol.

4th day of hols n counting

Today is thurs. The date today is Sept 11. (gosh i just realised the irony)

Randoms i came across yesterday.

1) the day Hello Kitty joined Happy Tree Friends and decided it wanted to join the Japan Jollywood Hall of Fame by imprinting its face on burning wax.Hello Kitty ash tray! gggaaahhh freak out.

2) the day whn non living things start showing signs of human nature (physiology) - the irony of Wall-e, i-robot etc.
monorail after its hard day's work

3) the day whn exorbitant use of the word 'sex' reli sells despite no wadsoever correlation the item has to the word (n I tot we chinese pride in tea sets for their exotic-ness n sanctity) owh wait. hence ang lee decided to direct Lust n Caution (I stil dun understand the rationale of directing such a movie. isit reli to like show the dark side of arts or to show the world cold hard reality or to sell porn legally. 4 all the reasons i suppose.

4) American humour

What i am doing right now:

Dis morn i woke up with a few things running thru my head. Among them are:
-today i will:
- do my clinical hwork. (the backpain thing n reseach more 2 do diagnosis)
- Sign in 2 UKM debaters (yeah i am dat much of a procrastinator tho it isn't my fault entirely I havent signed up.. blame it on the fact that i'm too stingy to get my own broadband.
- start a blog on blogspot.
- Download vlc (cz my laptop has only Windows Media Player that cant play any of the 4 seasons of House, 2 seasons of Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Juno i have on my ex hard drive.
- Research on debate stuff (taxes, trade etc.- yes i am an inquisitive nerd. unbashfully proclaimed eheh)
- Read star online.

basically they all require me 2 be ONLINE...

Unfortunately the internet connection in KT is down, the cc's closed, (the the notice on its door says 'Dibuka setiap hari dari 10am-12am kecuali hari Ahad..) ahh yes.. in msian time it means, 'Dibuka....kecuali hari Ahad apabila ada mood'. since today is 911, i suppose our fellow msians r feeling too nostalgic as they are going thru mourning phase, reflecting in their rooms / houses on the 911 incident that happened 7 yrs ago, hence i shall not blame them 4 not having the mood 2 open cc today..

so basically the only thing left 2 do is to retire 2 my room, sit in a corner and start talking to the mango tree outside my room/block.
- start msging ppl n make them reply cz if i cant go on9, no 1 else shud go on9 either.
- write a self pity blog post offline. hahah.
- study 4 next module.
- clear up my previous module notes. (cz i hav conveniently used all my buddy's notes 2 study from 4 the previous module meaning whn i give them back 2 her, my buddy next yr will not hav any material at all) meaning, i got 2 photocopy wadever i dun hav.. which is a lot. a lot. a lot. (help!)
- Read the entire Papa Robbins.
- Read the entire Marks, Lippincotts, Embryology, Dorlands dictionary so that i can pass my Nerd Certification Exam. (no offence to any1 who has done so. i mean, being a nerd is a pretty cool thing wad. :P)
- jog around tasik titiwangsa till my height gets reduced 2 1 meter.
- walk 2 faculty, take monorail, n go shopping!
- walk 2 faculty, go 2 the library, n go on9 frm there.

obviously after weighing the pros n cons of each option, i hav decided that option num 2 n 3 is most beneficial n least detrimental 2 my health n vertical nature. :P

ok. n i was worried i'd hav ntg 2 write about 4 my 1st official blogspot post. (if u dun count the blog i ditched yrs ago cz i 4got my account's password lol)

God bless u n me. :)

N lets pray for the 911 victims - victims of cruel fate n psychotic radical minded terrorists.
