For this 1 miserable week. But.. it’s better than nothing. After months of madness, this holiday is going to be a nice relaxing one for me. I plan to… clean out my horrendous room, watch the movies I downloaded and stole, read some novels and just laze around a bit. </p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve just ventured into Good Charlotte’s new album… Some songs are pretty good. In fact, there’s even a song that’s dedicated to God. Wow… I’m amazed. It’s a really good album. “Harlow’s Song” is very very nice..</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Right Where I Belong</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>As I leave the empty station</em></p> <p><em>First thing I see is the sun over the mountains</em></p> <p><em>West Hastings street, anxiously waiting</em></p> <p><em>That’s when I feel that God is all around me</em></p> <p><em>And I don’t know where to begin</em></p> <p><em>To say I’m sorry for my sins</em></p> <p><em>So I collapse into your arms</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>I’m sorry it took me so long</em></p> <p><em>Out here, for me to find my way back home</em></p> <p><em>I didn’t have a reason</em></p> <p><em>For when I stopped believing</em></p> <p><em>But I need you to know</em></p> <p><em>That I’m right where I belong</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>Now I see everything clearly</em></p> <p><em>In the rearview</em></p> <p><em>That you were right beside me</em></p> <p><em>So long ago, my voice of reason</em></p> <p><em>It disappeared, along with my convictions</em></p> <p><em>And now I know where it begins</em></p> <p><em>Accept forgiveness for my sins</em></p> <p><em>And just collapse into your open arms</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>I’m sorry it took me so long</em></p> <p><em>Out here, for me to find my way back home</em></p> <p><em>I didn’t have a reason</em></p> <p><em>For when I stopped believing</em></p> <p><em>But I need you to know</em></p> <p><em>That I’m right where I belong</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>If all we are is where we’ve been</em></p> <p><em>Then I know where I want to be</em></p> <p><em>No matter how far I drift again</em></p> <p><em>You keep a light on for me</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><em>Out here, so i can find my way back home</em></p> <p><em>I didn’t have a reason</em></p> <p><em>For when I stopped believing</em></p> <p><em>But I need you to know</em></p> <p><em>That I’m right where I belong now, with you</em></p> <p><em>So I’ll stay quiet in your arms</em></p> <p><em>Words don’t have a meaning</em></p> <p><em>There’s no use in repeating</em></p> <p><em>But I need you to know</em></p> <p><em>That I’m right where I belong</em></p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-37454073673999052742010-11-12T07:23:00.001+08:002010-11-12T07:23:19.408+08:00Kill or be killed<p>EXTERNAL EXAM’S TOMORROW!!! Argh~!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Counting down to the last hours before the exam. I’m thinking of how to make those hours well accounted for now. 6 subjects to study for a 4 hour continuous exam. It’s just natural that some of us will lose our minds at the end of it. The moment I’m sort of done studying my physics, I kind of think that I’ve forgotten like 40% of my anatomy. Damn… Can’t they at least separate the 2 papers??</p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway… today’s the all-nighter day in order to prep up for tomorrow’s battle!! It’s either I kill the paper or I’ll be killed by the paper. RAWR~!! After that, I’m just gonna throw everything aside and enjoy my 1 week’s worth of break. Looking forward to it already… *sob sob*</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-61799692165524248872010-11-10T17:22:00.001+08:002010-11-10T17:22:58.935+08:00<p>Yes people, I’m blogging again. LOL!!! Sorry for the temporary abandon-ment.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hmm…let’s see what has happened over the days/weeks/months…</p> <p> </p> <p>Life’s been revolving a lot around academics and clinicals. Been going to clinics and hospitals a lot. Met different people in the hospital everyday. Some which are so young but are terminally ill. Some who tell me that their traditional “Kampung” medicine of some carrot juice mix helped cure his Urinary Tract Infection. Just funny stories all around and almost everytime that I’m there.</p> <p> </p> <p>College’s been….err… kind of “interesting” as well. There’s a psycho in my class which I highly classify him as having bipolar disorder. My new batch of juniors just came in last week. Without a doubt… all of them are older than me. LOL!! But… half of them are doctors. So, I’m not quite sure how it’s going to turn out to be. Them trying to outsmart us seniors?? Don’t bother asking us for any advice or pointers on skill work?? Oh well… we’ll know in time. </p> <p> </p> <p>Life’s been pretty boring too. Constant studying, studying and more studying. Can’t wait till my 1 week holiday next week. And by the way… my external exam is this Saturday!!! I’m a bit jittery about it. Same as I was for my internal exams. 6 papers, 6 subjects in 4 continuous hours. Total madness I tell you. The internal exam kick started with the Physics paper. I did pretty well in that. From there on, everyday went downhill…and that was a pretty steep hill. Second paper onwards was like, “the heck… I’ve never even heard of this or studied this before”. Yup… I winged 5 papers out of 6. Thankfully, I passed them all gracefully. I’m kind of hoping that I’ll do better in my external exam which is suppose to be a bit harder. I would so like to tell the external exam papers, “JUST DIE ALREADY!!”</p> <p> </p> <p>And… I’m sure everyone has been pondering and waiting to see his pretty face…</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TNpkbjeSzRI/AAAAAAAAAvw/01VUY3Z9Jco/s1600-h/41156_428043516085_592296085_5685628_3098473_n%5B8%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 32.67%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="41156_428043516085_592296085_5685628_3098473_n" border="0" alt="41156_428043516085_592296085_5685628_3098473_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TNpkcdn0AvI/AAAAAAAAAv0/mBmvK4DGUtI/41156_428043516085_592296085_5685628_3098473_n_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="339" /></a></p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-59704652486542550552010-09-07T09:20:00.001+08:002010-09-07T09:20:24.197+08:00Jumble Mumble<p>It has been some time since this blog was TOUCHED!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Days have been pretty busy. If my time wasn’t spent studying or going for classes or doing clinicals, they’re mostly spent either sleeping or hanging out with friends. So yup… got to get out and do stuff while I still have the capability to do so  =P</p> <p> </p> <p>I recently went on a trip to Genting Highlands during the Awal Muharam holidays. Despite the freak hot weather down here in KL, Genting was surprisingly colder than I thought it would be even during the day. Didn’t do much there actually. We were mostly walking around and hanging out in the apartment. Well… the whole point of the trip was to relax and de-stress. So we did it!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Back to the academics AGAIN after the holidays. Swell… I didn’t even realise that my 1 of my big exam is mid of next month!! Awesome!! That would mean that I’ve got to put in more time staring at my books. Hopefully and I’m praying that I will pass the exam with flying colours after all the constant studying. </p> <p> </p> <p>Oh yes…!! I encountered another BLONDE yesterday!! And she’s in my class!! OMG!</p> <p> </p> <p>While I was typing my report in the college library yesterday, not only did this FELLA shut down her computer, she turned off the main power for all the computers while she was at it. So… my screen suddenly went BLANK when I was halfway through my report. And guess what she said to me? “Oh, I’m sorry…Did I off your computer too?” (in a non-existent innocent tone). Wow… I almost wanted to give her a piece of my mind. I never knew people could be so DUMB!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>I encountered another blonde while I was in Perhentian as well. Which person in their right mind would grab someone’s leg while they’re swimming?!… IN THE SEA!!… WITHOUT A LIFE JACKET!!! And there always has to be a punch line. She surfaced from the water right after and told me, “Pearly, did you see the fish I tried to show you?”. Priceless… just priceless. </p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-54432698363952627712010-08-19T18:37:00.001+08:002010-08-19T18:37:19.476+08:00Perhentian!!<p>The Perhentian Trip is over… Really sad that it is, but great memories remain  =)</p> <p> </p> <p>Yup, I spent 3 days 2 nights in Perhentian Island. Although the hotel wasn’t much, but overall it was better than expected. I managed to not get myself burnt into the same colour as my graduation robe…which is a good thing. I went snorkelling for the first time there. Got to see some fishes and a glimpse of a baby shark! Yup, it scared the hell out of me. Especially when I went in snorkelling without my lifejacket and suddenly my friend yelled “SHARK!” underwater. According to him, I almost drowned him because of that. LOL! Unfortunately, I missed seeing turtles due to my stupid motion sickness that decided to hit me at the wrong time. </p> <p> </p> <p>Although I missed watching the sunrise and the sunset there, I managed to take night strolls along the beach. Found some glowing microorganisms along the water line. Definitely a nice place to go to unwind and just relax.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JIr96ozI/AAAAAAAAAuo/Wgh9mHNwk4Y/s1600-h/IMG_1300%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 69.88%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1300" border="0" alt="IMG_1300" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JJY70vlI/AAAAAAAAAus/jCJdDzj5zQk/IMG_1300_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="446" height="324" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JKRdQmXI/AAAAAAAAAuw/5CfEyup5CCU/s1600-h/39976_420893996085_592296085_5507196_5508596_n%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 82.6%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="39976_420893996085_592296085_5507196_5508596_n" border="0" alt="39976_420893996085_592296085_5507196_5508596_n" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JLO05lxI/AAAAAAAAAu0/DZKWej_Teqw/39976_420893996085_592296085_5507196_5508596_n_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="526" height="361" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JML2V5DI/AAAAAAAAAu4/KpaLqXHqwNk/s1600-h/40255_420893666085_592296085_5507170_1881663_n%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 83.35%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="40255_420893666085_592296085_5507170_1881663_n" border="0" alt="40255_420893666085_592296085_5507170_1881663_n" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JMrHLXHI/AAAAAAAAAu8/oZvbSeNZcpo/40255_420893666085_592296085_5507170_1881663_n_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="531" height="374" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JOsoQl8I/AAAAAAAAAvA/YXPnHwpetdw/s1600-h/40463_420893586085_592296085_5507161_7110948_n%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 83.22%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="40463_420893586085_592296085_5507161_7110948_n" border="0" alt="40463_420893586085_592296085_5507161_7110948_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JP1HXaNI/AAAAAAAAAvE/4qyLJ2HJcA8/40463_420893586085_592296085_5507161_7110948_n_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="374" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JRevMtpI/AAAAAAAAAvI/QnChR_KPBuw/s1600-h/44709_420894601085_592296085_5507249_1682900_n%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 83.3%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="44709_420894601085_592296085_5507249_1682900_n" border="0" alt="44709_420894601085_592296085_5507249_1682900_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JSKi6VRI/AAAAAAAAAvM/4Vwp2dWnZdQ/44709_420894601085_592296085_5507249_1682900_n_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="531" height="391" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JTTNStDI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/YB3HiDZGl6o/s1600-h/IMG_1246%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 70.79%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1246" border="0" alt="IMG_1246" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JUJIU7VI/AAAAAAAAAvU/SDWy2JV08dc/IMG_1246_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="452" height="349" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JVdt81II/AAAAAAAAAvY/MLntvG0jTq8/s1600-h/IMG_1289%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 71.36%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1289" border="0" alt="IMG_1289" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JWNh1K2I/AAAAAAAAAvc/hyRXTnlDPJo/IMG_1289_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="456" height="355" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JWiF8-hI/AAAAAAAAAvg/47iL9erWrJk/s1600-h/IMG_1298%5B9%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 58.16%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1298" border="0" alt="IMG_1298" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TG0JXc5yKRI/AAAAAAAAAvk/b5Vax_MnuyY/IMG_1298_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="372" height="502" /></a></p> <p>And now… it’s back to the busy schedule once again. Been going to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang for the past few days and it’s bloody tiring!! But the experience and what I learn there is good. Found out that I really like working in the hospital. LOL! </p> <p> </p> <p>It’s going to be another good weekend! Convocation dinner and Convocation is coming up! Can’t wait till I officially graduate and be officially known as a Post Grad student.

Totally went in there not prepared at all. All I know was that I was prepared to give it my best shot and do what I can. I think just going in with what you’ve got rather than purposely preparing for it would be the best thing to do. It would genuinely test your own skills and what you’re actually capable of. So now I know mine  =)</p> <p> </p> <p>Anyways… a senior who recently dropped out of the last semester (part II) came back to pay his coursemates a visit before taking off to Australia tonight. And it was definitely good news to know that he could get a trainee position in Perth even without completing the part II exams. I’m more pumped up to work towards the end of this course!! Can’t wait to go overseas to work and start earning foreign currency. HAHAHAHA!! </p> <p> </p> <p>I so want to do some shopping. *sob sob*</p> <p> </p> <p>And yes… I’m going to do something very meaningful soon… Hehe… Will blog about it once it’s done and over with.

But no doubt, I have lots of assignments, presentations and tests lined up every week till September. Just looking at my academic calender for this semester makes me sad. </p> <p> </p> <p>Other than the same old boring stuff of studying and classes, I have much more practicals now as compared to my degree course. ALL includes ultrasound scanning. Well, the roles change from time to time. One minute I’m the sonographer, the next minute I’m the “patient”. But yes, it has been fun indeed other than the gel that is used. I’m not a big fan of that darn gel, but it’s a necessary and essential item for ultrasound scans.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TCtNgT1rMhI/AAAAAAAAAug/V16aLxWXY8M/s1600-h/PY03_1%5B8%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 86.61%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="PY03_1" border="0" alt="PY03_1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TCtNiPBEwfI/AAAAAAAAAuk/cij8F5FvSHk/PY03_1_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="552" height="399" /></a> </p> <p>If you are able to tell what’s in the picture, then please enrol yourself into the sonography course as soon as possible  =p</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-59506763114145020232010-06-21T10:47:00.001+08:002010-06-21T10:47:47.820+08:00Life after Uni<p>Life after uni has been great so far. The holidays I mean. Been enjoying the holidays pretty much. But sadly, I kind of miss my Uni…!! More of missing my uni friends and just being around the uni. It gives a different feeling as compared to being around my college now. Sigh… one more year to go before being pushed into the working world for good!! </p> <p> </p> <p>Sad… Got some serious work to do with my course now. Weekly assessments are going to be a big pain.</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-23751936734312396192010-06-20T00:12:00.001+08:002010-06-20T00:12:39.914+08:00Perth!!<p>I went, I saw and I came back…from Perth! It was a great holiday. Just as what I imagined it to be. And it is all thanks to my friends who are there who made it all so much fun and enjoyable. What can I say…the place and company was good. </p> <p> </p> <p>Okay, okay…back to the place.</p> <p> </p> <p>I landed in Perth on the 9th of June to the temperature of 8 degrees Celsius!! Can you imagine going from a place of 30 degrees to a place of 8 degrees in a few hours? It was madness initially. I was literally suffering the cold weather, shaking from within out even with 3 layers of clothes!! The 1st day was a little crazy due to the weather. Made me felt as though I was going to fall sick that instant…but it was all good. Managed to get my winter coat so it was a little better from there on. Think I was more or less okay with the weather after the 1st day. In fact, I kind of liked the cold weather as compared to the hot and humid weather back here.</p> <p> </p> <p>So… 1st night in Perth… I had the biggest burger I’ve seen by far in Jus Burgers. Haha… It was seriously huge; or at least they’re huge to me. Obviously, it tasted good! Seriously, almost all the food there tasted awesome, not to mention that the portions are big and really worth your money.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr3aud8mI/AAAAAAAAAsg/ZmueobfXHjE/s1600-h/IMG_1141%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 65.71%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1141" border="0" alt="IMG_1141" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr4PLTcuI/AAAAAAAAAsk/EciuWBNjbUQ/IMG_1141_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="420" height="367" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr5-2iHOI/AAAAAAAAAso/gJnPqfP4pUQ/s1600-h/IMG_1157%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 66.05%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1157" border="0" alt="IMG_1157" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr7F0D92I/AAAAAAAAAss/yAxJAgv0Tyk/IMG_1157_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="422" height="336" /></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr8AK817I/AAAAAAAAAsw/pMOMS1AARTE/s1600-h/IMG_1187%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 65.86%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1187" border="0" alt="IMG_1187" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr89bzhdI/AAAAAAAAAs0/VBuBWbmO2MU/IMG_1187_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="421" height="352" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr-RAs4YI/AAAAAAAAAs4/7TTJo9-WUSs/s1600-h/IMG_1207%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 67.48%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1207" border="0" alt="IMG_1207" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzr_GOKUgI/AAAAAAAAAs8/nllBU9JaRxg/IMG_1207_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="431" height="335" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsBvZ7pWI/AAAAAAAAAtA/TT_2jymSdHc/s1600-h/IMG_1209%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 67.66%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1209" border="0" alt="IMG_1209" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsDVagb2I/AAAAAAAAAtE/DIZ0QJhl6_I/IMG_1209_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="432" height="327" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsE6lkQHI/AAAAAAAAAtI/ED1VJosKxsw/s1600-h/IMG_1227%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 68.53%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1227" border="0" alt="IMG_1227" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsGRm85fI/AAAAAAAAAtM/7jf1nZAVJLk/IMG_1227_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="438" height="334" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsHxNS81I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/PJE4RM2hXQY/s1600-h/IMG_1228%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 69.51%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1228" border="0" alt="IMG_1228" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsI7tp54I/AAAAAAAAAtU/GqwRFTzjlHY/IMG_1228_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="444" height="330" /></a>Yup, they all look good don’t they?  =D</p> <p> </p> <p>So… I managed to visit Fremantle, Swan Valley and a few beaches. The nougat factory, chocolate factory, winery and honey farm was in Swan Valley. The beaches there are to die for too. The water is crystal clear that you’re able to see the fishes and even mini jelly fishes!! Unlike “somewhere”, the beaches there are very clean and well taken care of.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsKY048HI/AAAAAAAAAtY/E_RdFoArWQ4/s1600-h/IMG_1148%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 69.52%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1148" border="0" alt="IMG_1148" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsLVpDl6I/AAAAAAAAAtc/SNm853QORWI/IMG_1148_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="444" height="321" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsMfzaN9I/AAAAAAAAAtg/25jB9iq1EkY/s1600-h/IMG_1149%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 49.58%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1149" border="0" alt="IMG_1149" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsNoaYm7I/AAAAAAAAAtk/jmnW36uJ4SI/IMG_1149_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="318" height="414" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsOjvXSEI/AAAAAAAAAto/PV0kpmvuES4/s1600-h/IMG_1156%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 65.29%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1156" border="0" alt="IMG_1156" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsPQ4McaI/AAAAAAAAAts/RGfopJA4YZc/IMG_1156_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="417" height="331" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsQCH-QII/AAAAAAAAAtw/NW6npfDtulA/s1600-h/IMG_1163%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 66%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1163" border="0" alt="IMG_1163" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsQ0oFovI/AAAAAAAAAt0/4Ljb2P2pUHk/IMG_1163_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="422" height="347" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsRzzZlOI/AAAAAAAAAt4/fcuezEUWhNE/s1600-h/IMG_1171%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 48.79%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1171" border="0" alt="IMG_1171" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsSufT3TI/AAAAAAAAAt8/NOYYQ_HzVI0/IMG_1171_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="313" height="426" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsUQHpKQI/AAAAAAAAAuA/iLkwaWRrQH0/s1600-h/IMG_1176%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 67.14%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1176" border="0" alt="IMG_1176" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsWPIv09I/AAAAAAAAAuE/Ibqp8dsCEvI/IMG_1176_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="338" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsXkJBWEI/AAAAAAAAAuI/hg2xBfZHUC0/s1600-h/IMG_1179%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 68.07%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1179" border="0" alt="IMG_1179" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsYcAn4nI/AAAAAAAAAuM/VKyd_MWA5Ds/IMG_1179_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="435" height="330" /></a>With much thanks to…</p> <p>Rachie     </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsaInFW1I/AAAAAAAAAuQ/ieGKcPb0JJI/s1600-h/IMG_1158%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 57.76%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1158" border="0" alt="IMG_1158" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsa-_Wo1I/AAAAAAAAAuU/AEnbChAurJw/IMG_1158_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="370" height="476" /></a>and Ryan</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzscGylU2I/AAAAAAAAAuY/w13PvXviwiY/s1600-h/IMG_1165%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; width: 58.51%; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1165" border="0" alt="IMG_1165" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/TBzsdTeRhZI/AAAAAAAAAuc/CuYexrK-Yiw/IMG_1165_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="375" height="495" /></a></p> <p>For more photos…please go to facebook  =p  </p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-56817237069963764852010-06-02T15:10:00.001+08:002010-06-02T15:10:50.024+08:00<p>I read this book which I’ve actually gotten quite some time ago. It entitles, “<em>101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting”</em>. Definitely a worthy read…</p> <p> </p> <p>Here’s the 101 things  =)</p> <p> </p> <p>1. You don’t have to know the secret to life to enjoy it</p> <p>2. Being reasonable wins you the booby prize</p> <p>3. Life is tough – but then again, compared to what?</p> <p>4. Happiness doesn’t care how you get there</p> <p>5. Life’s a breeze when you work as hard as simplifying it as you do at complicating it</p> <p>6. Predict your failures and you will be a highly successful prophet</p> <p>7. The pain of unfulfilled dreams can be the worst ache you ever experience</p> <p>8. Extraordinary things are accomplished by ordinary people</p> <p>9. Overnight success only happens in fairy tales, trashy novels and bad movies</p> <p>10. To know and not to do is not yet to know</p> <p>11. Always expect the unexpected because the only certain thing is uncertainty</p> <p>12. Too much safety is dangerous</p> <p>13. You can observe a lot just by watching</p> <p>14. Don’t mess around with reality and reality won’t mess around with you</p> <p>15. Excuses and blame won’t make a bit of difference in your life</p> <p>16. What is the most difficult to accomplish is the sweetest to remember</p> <p>17. Self-pity costs you nothing and it’s worth just as much</p> <p>18. If something is boring you, it’s probably you</p> <p>19. Most worry is totally useless</p> <p>20. Procrastinate and keep up with yesterday</p> <p>21. There’s no point in buying expensive socks if you can never find them</p> <p>22. Book smart does not mean life smart</p> <p>23. Time is not money; it is worth much more – spend it wisely</p> <p>24. Watching a lot of television won’t add to the quality of your life</p> <p>25. The main purpose of life is to live a life of purpose</p> <p>26. People are only human – if they weren’t, life would be different</p> <p>27. Choose your friends wisely – quality instead of quantity</p> <p>28. Never overestimate you ability to change others</p> <p>29. Giving advice means either losing or breaking even</p> <p>30. Don’t walk away from negative people, RUN!</p> <p>31. Hand around with a bunch of blunders and you will be one in due time</p> <p>32. There’s insanity on both sides of the debate when you argue with an idiot</p> <p>33. The best way to impress people is by not trying to impress them</p> <p>34. Nice people are often not good people and good people are often not nice people</p> <p>35. Everyone, including you and me, is selfish</p> <p>36. When someone fails to keep a commitment, there is 95 percent chance that it will happen again</p> <p>37. Good deeds are seldom remembered, bad deeds are seldom forgotten</p> <p>38. The surest way to failure is trying to please everyone</p> <p>39. It’s easier to stay out of trouble than to get out of trouble</p> <p>40. Don’t take it personally; they’re probably doing it to everyone else</p> <p>41. The more important it is, the less chance that anybody is going to do it for you</p> <p>42. With a bad attitude you can miss out on a lot of the good things life has to offer</p> <p>43. Belief is a disease</p> <p>44. Beware of experts’ predictions, especially about the future</p> <p>45. Wise people learn more from fools than fools learn from wise people</p> <p>46. Be careful with you heroes; don’t put them on pedestals</p> <p>47. It doesn’t cost much to be kind, but it can be very costly being too kind</p> <p>48. Admit your mistakes and you will make fewer of them</p> <p>49. Being right at all costs is like being a dead hero – there’s no payoff</p> <p>50. Smart minds ask dumb questions</p> <p>51. Only fools are afraid to be fools</p> <p>52. Your past is always going to be the way it was – so stop trying to change it!</p> <p>53. If your house is on fire, warm yourself by it</p> <p>54. The best revenge is to live well</p> <p>55. It’s never too late to learn something new and improve yourself</p> <p>56. You are the biggest cause of problems in your life</p> <p>57. Many of the things you want will give you more problems than they are worth</p> <p>58. You ain’t going to solve the problem if you don’t identify it properly</p> <p>59. You can change the quality of your life by changing the context in which you view your circumstances</p> <p>60. The severity of your problems is a matter of perspective and that makes most of them insignificant</p> <p>61. No one can give you wiser advice than yourself</p> <p>62. What will keep you from getting what you want is not knowing what you want</p> <p>63. You aren’t going to get what you want unless you ask for it</p> <p>64. If you don’t find time for exercise, you will have to find time for illness</p> <p>65. A walk or run in nature is the best medicine for many of your ailments</p> <p>66. There is no shortcut to being fit and trim</p> <p>67. Your expectations cause you the most disappointment in your life</p> <p>68. There is no one big deal in life that will save your hide</p> <p>69. The world doesn’t owe you or anyone else a living</p> <p>70. When money is not your servant, it becomes your master</p> <p>71. Compromising your integrity for money, power, fame, or love will come back to haunt you</p> <p>72. A big pile of money will do just as much to cure your unhappiness as a small pile</p> <p>73. You can never get enough of what you don’t really need or want</p> <p>74. Want what you have and you will always get what you what</p> <p>75. The good life is not all that it is cracked up to be</p> <p>76. Practice moderation in excess because too much of a good thing can be a bad thing</p> <p>77. Nothing satisfies a greedy mind</p> <p>78. You are already rich and live in luxury</p> <p>79. The cheaper the activity, the greater the fun</p> <p>80. There is more to positive thinking than just thinking positive thoughts</p> <p>81. Life isn’t fair and it will continue to be that way</p> <p>82. You are a millionaire; your creativity makes it so</p> <p>83. If patience is just the art of concealing your impatience, you better be very good at it</p> <p>84. To put more time in your life, don’t rush. Slow down instead</p> <p>85. Try to accomplish too much and you will accomplish little</p> <p>86. Even the simplest task can be meaningful if you do it in the right spirit</p> <p>87. Stop trying so hard to be happy and watch the good times roll</p> <p>88. Set all your seriousness aside because life is a laughing matter</p> <p>89. It’s easier to ride a horse in the direction it’s going</p> <p>90. The important thing is not what others think of you, but what you think of you</p> <p>91. Keep breathing! You never know when life may be worth living again</p> <p>92. You can’t make a big difference in this world unless you are different</p> <p>93. You must be home when opportunity knocks</p> <p>94. What is valuable invariably comes with a price, usually bigger than you think</p> <p>95. A genius is someone with more persistence than you </p> <p>96. Perfection is a refuge of idiots</p> <p>97. Being successful at work is irrelevant if you are a failure at home</p> <p>98. All you can experience is the now, so why aren’t you there?</p> <p>99. Spontaneity is too valuable to be left unplanned</p> <p>100. Look inside and you will find more outside</p> <p>101. A full, happy and satisfying life is not dependent upon how long you live, but how well you live</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-32135534118455739942010-05-28T13:08:00.001+08:002010-05-28T13:08:31.463+08:00final results….finally<p>My final results is finally out. And it seems as though my finals just ended last week or something. Hmm… Uni being more diligent and efficient maybe?? In a way, it’s good. </p> <p> </p> <p>Results……..</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Results……..</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Oh results……..</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I don’t know how exactly to describe my results. I almost made it into the Dean’s list this last semester…but… it’s not enough to give me what I want at the end. So how am I suppose to conclude it?? I have no freaking idea. But I know now that if I really put effort into doing it, I can make it. And the bottom line is… I’m officially cleared for graduation. No more degree. Post grad diploma coming soon though. Hopefully I’ll still have that kind of momentum that I had for my this last semester to study for my diploma. If not….consequences will be hilarious. LOL</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway… Perth… I will be invading you soon  =p</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-176114222389692092010-05-22T13:13:00.001+08:002010-05-22T13:13:00.418+08:00the taste of liberation and freedom<p>Holidays…has been good so far. Kind of enjoying the extra free time and going out whenever I want to. Been keeping myself moving for the past few days. Met up with some friends, went hiking again…  =) </p> <blockquote> <p><font style="background-color: #ffffff" face="Trebuchet MS">Got to enjoy the little things (Zombieland, 2009)  =p</font></p> </blockquote> <p>I’m also slowly cleaning up my room bit by bit.

Managed to show myself that my stamina has improved a bit as compared to last time. Still need to work on my stamina as how I’ve planned. Trying to get back into the “fit” state I once was in. Current stamina level is just downright embarrassing  =p</p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway…here’s some pics from my 2nd hike up Broga.

But I’m more or less rotting at home and at the same time trying to do those things which I didn’t had the time to do previously…which I just come to realise that it’s not much  =p</p> <p> </p> <p>My next move to entertain myself at home…download and watch movies which I’ve missed while I was busy being a nerd. Indulging in songs is right on top of my list as well. Going to do some songs hunting once again. Can’t get enough of good music  =)</p> <p> </p> <p>For those who love music too, try out Lifehouse’s new album.

Yes, I’m rejoicing…inside  =P  A bit too tired and emotionless due to the lack of sleep to actually jump for joy now. But yeah, although the paper was rather “sucky”, I’m just glad it’s finally over. Now I’m just praying that I don’t have to repeat any subjects *touch wood*. </p> <p> </p> <p>Now, let’s move on to holidays… hehe… But, my holidays will only last for 1 month or so. 3 weeks in Malaysia and 1 week in Perth, Australia. *wootz~!!* After that, back to studying again. Yeah, as many do not know yet, I got a scholarship to study a Post Grad Diploma in Sonography a.k.a. Ultrasound. So I’ll have another 1 year of studies left before heading out into the working world. I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing. But one thing’s for sure, this scholarship better be worth it ‘cause I turned down 4 job offers in my own field for this thing!! ARGH~!!! It is still frustrating to me to turn down those offers. But in a way, I know that I’m capable of being hired. HAHA!!! =P</p> <p> </p> <p>And… let me “enlighten” those who think that it’s all about the grades to get a job or a good job. I’m telling you, through my experience of going through job interviews and such, it doesn’t matter how good your grades are. At the end of the day, it’s your skills and applications that matter. Go to an interview with a blank head and you’ll come back empty handed as well. You can be smart on paper, but it all comes to how smart you’re going to make yourself seem during an interview. For fields such as mine, Biomedical Science, I even got a mini-test during 1 of my interview sessions. LOL… It’s all about knowing and remembering what you studied. And let me tell you the next best thing… <font style="background-color: #f2f1f1" face="Georgia">STUDENT COUNCIL LEADERS ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER EVEN IF YOU DON’T GO BACK TO YOUR OWN FIELD OF STUDY.  </font>And that is the truth. </p> <p> </p> <p>So, all the best to those who are out searching for jobs and going for interview. Please remember to bring along some “INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS” skills with you.</p> <p> </p> <p>And that almost about wraps up my 3 years of Biomedical Science degree  =)</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-71121319822590294502010-04-28T00:35:00.001+08:002010-04-28T00:35:12.867+08:00divorced<p>As quoted by Edna, I’ve finally signed the divorce papers with my Final Year Project and thesis. Should I jump for joy?? Of course I’m jumping for joy!! All those nights staying up to work on perfecting my thesis… it better pay off. LOL</p> <p> </p> <p>Finals are coming next week. My preparations are half hanging still and I do feel like hanging myself at the same time. But then again… this is the last time I’ll be sitting for these sort of things. So, got to suck it up no matter what.</p> <p> </p> <p>On an entirely separate note…</p> <p> </p> <p>I do find things to be slightly more complicated now than they used to be. I often ponder on whether it is because I made them that way or it just spontaneously happened. I’m rather clueless about it myself. I even find it hard to define or explain how I feel and why I feel that way nowadays. Signs of psychosis or bipolar disorder maybe???</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-60972046390355819532010-04-15T06:16:00.001+08:002010-04-15T06:16:37.794+08:00heading towards the end<p>I have finally come to the end of writing my thesis. Yay~!!!! Yup, I officially finished the contents and main chapters at 5am this morning. And since I’ll have to be preparing myself for uni at 6am, I decided to stay awake anyway and torture myself with gastric. </p> <p> </p> <p>My thesis was like my one and only hope left to pull up my grades this semester. That’s why I was crunching and scrutinizing it so badly. Finishing my thesis gave me a slight liberation. Although I’ve still got minor grammar corrections, at least the main text is done and I don’t need to crack my brains and eyes to hunt, print and read journals anymore. But I think I still need to a bit for my presentation next week. After next week, my final year project would officially come to a close and then it would be FINALS time. </p> <p> </p> <p>I went for my 1st job interview yesterday and I think it went pretty well. At least I wasn’t one of those who couldn’t answer on how to do a blood grouping test. Haha… The answer just popped up from the back of my head. Amazing… But yeah, I’ll still have to wait for their confirmation whether they “want” me or not. I’m still considering that company though. Working hours are crazy. So… more like a 50-50 chance. </p> <p> </p> <p>Anyways… time to go uni soon and probably caffeinate myself to stay awake the whole day. Last test tomorrow to wrap up all the midterms for the semester. Now you see how “sad” it is that almost everything is coming to an end?? Lol… up to your interpretation…</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-32414791476065674462010-03-27T12:08:00.001+08:002010-03-27T12:08:48.749+08:00In a blink<p>Yup… in a blink of an eye or maybe 2 eyes, the semester is almost coming to an end since now it’s already Week 11. Which means that the Grand Finale of Biomedical Science May ‘10 is approaching. I don’t know if I should be scared or relieved. LOL… but all in all, it was a good run. </p> <p> </p> <p>My tutorial group had our convocation pictures taken last Thursday.

It didn’t seem too hectic at first during the start of the week…till Wednesday came and I started to panic for my test. The funny thing was, I didn’t think that sleep and panic would go together, but they did eventually. LOL… I overslept and didn’t manage to finish reading the syllabus covered in the test. Another brilliant stunt which I haven’t tried pulling and this would be the first and hopefully the last. </p> <p> </p> <p>Ok…the symposium last Sunday…</p> <p>The waiting part was gruesome. Watching other participants getting shot by the panel of judges was pretty intimidating. All the UTAR participants got their equal share of getting shot down. So did I. But I got more of comments rather than questions. Pretty productive and beneficial I would say. Those comments gave me some pointers to include and improve my thesis. Hehe… So it’s all good. LOL</p> <p> </p> <p>I got to meet up with some old friends this week. Met up with Zhao for lunch and movie, and also met up with Li Shan and May Yee after so long. I was quite happy to see them again and to talk about old times and also catch up on what we’re all doing now. Makes me feel old since we have so many old stories to tell each other. Haha… But it was good. Had a good time with both company. It’ll be good to do it again soon but with others as well. </p> <p> </p> <p>I just realised that I sort of swamped myself with work. I scheduled too many things to be done and completed in a short period of time in order to buy more time for upcoming events. Hmm… is it a smart move or a bad move?? ‘Cause I’m barely getting sleep.</p> <p> </p> <p>Speaking of sleep… I find that I’d rather stay awake nowadays than to sleep. No doubt I feel tired and drained and my brain is fried, but I would try to stay awake the best I can with minimum sleep. Yeah, I’m trying to adopt the “I can sleep when I’m dead” concept. I’m not too sure how it is working for me though. Should be getting more work done that way. And the whole point was to kill my brains so that it would not function to think of unnecessary stuff. It’s good to numb it all…</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-54114087436612929512010-03-13T03:16:00.001+08:002010-03-13T03:16:02.448+08:00Happy!!… Happy??…<p>The weekend is approaching… which means that the Symposium is almost here!! I’m literally terrified of that thing. Seriously. I term it my public humiliation day. I’m just praying hard that it’s going to go fine and that I won’t get shot down by the panel with their intelligent questions. </p> <p> </p> <p>Other than that… same ol’ same old. In and out of classes everyday. Assignments, thesis, reports…the usual. With all this going on, I find myself resorting to “happy” songs in hopes to cheer myself up at the end of the day or in between things. My definition of “happy” songs would be songs whose lyrics are of hope, being happy, about life…stuff like that. Most importantly, the music must be good too. Essential for a music junkie like me. LOL… And they’re SUPPOSE to CHEER me up. Whether they actually work… that’s another question right there. </p> <p> </p> <p>Over time… I find that ignorance to certain matters can be pretty stupid as it doesn’t help to alleviate the problem at all. Dumping it aside only allows it to set in with time and then, the full effects gradually shows. In fact, I’m kind of missing it more than usual. Mind over emotions?? Can we really?? Definite subjective matter…</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-36114365769105226422010-03-07T00:38:00.001+08:002010-03-07T00:38:01.416+08:00What a week…<p>It has been a pretty long week although time passed in a blink of an eye.</p> <p> </p> <p>Yup, time do tend to pass faster when you’re piled up with work and study plans. In fact, 24 hours never seem enough. Always wishing for more time to cramp in that extra study time or to finish up assignments and reports…or to SLEEP!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Back to the topic about this whole week… now that the week is at its end…</p> <p>I had 2 tests scheduled for this week. Initially, they were on Wednesday and Friday. Friday’s paper was obviously much easier to study for, so the one day gap wasn’t such a bad idea. Then… came the news on Tuesday that Wednesday’s test was postponed to Thursday. Which doesn’t leave me much time to study for Friday’s paper. Yes, I managed to put myself into that kind of stupid situation…always. But yeah… I studied for both subjects anyway, with minimum time allocated for sleep…let’s say, about 3-4 hours a day or night (day: refers to the accumulated hours of sleep during that day)?? I’ve been depending on caffeine (either in tea or coffee) to keep my mind and my body awake and moving. So… I was pretty much sleep deprived throughout the week. </p> <p> </p> <p>Then… I went for another Wii party yesterday. Obviously I went in my “sleep deprived” mode. Although the test on Friday was in the morning and that was my only class, but I killed time by working on my assignment, having lunch with friends and fixing my car. I was still working on my Project Presentation when I was in my friend’s place. Now I feel like a typical workaholic. LOL… Half true. The work never stops and never ends.</p> <p> </p> <p>Note: All this stress and workload has rendered my brains less efficient. It explains why I ended up answering my friend’s phone in an upside-down manner. Priceless…</p> <p> </p> <p>Next week… Will be <strike>dread-filled</strike> fear-filled. My presentation is next weekend!! I can feel my stomach flipping over and doing cartwheels everytime I think about it. Plus, I have to put in time to study for my tests again… ARGH~!!! </p> <p> </p> <p>DREAMLAND/LA-LA LAND… I’M SO SORRY THAT MY VISITING HOURS WILL BE EXTENSIVELY SHORTENED FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE WEEKS</p> <p> </p> <p>Best news I’ve received so far this week… My one and only class on Monday has been cancelled for the coming week. Which means… unofficial holiday. Which also means… extra time to do my stuffs. But doesn’t mean… that I have more time to sleep or waste away. Interesting…</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-36472683372232881632010-02-28T11:21:00.001+08:002010-02-28T11:24:01.309+08:00Sway/Sial Day<p>Yes!! Yesterday was officially sway/sial day.</p> <p> </p> <p>Firstly…</p> <p>My endurance was being rebellious and refused to listen to the host/owner. Thus, I decided to stop at the 2nd peak of Broga Hill. Such a let down as compared to the hike during Gunung Datuk. But the view and overall climb/walk was great and refreshing. As expected…loads of people were there when it was about 6/7-ish. Literally crowded. </p> <p> </p> <p>Second…</p> <p>I opened my email after coming back from Broga… then I saw… the email from the Biomed club of UPM. My ‘forced’ entry of my project into the Symposium that they’re organizing has been accepted. WHAT THE CRAP!!!! How could my simple and messy work be accepted?! Now I have to prepare for the presentation/public humiliation session on March 14. Just when I was discussing with the other 2 students who were also ‘forced’ to enter about this… saying that we don’t hope to get it. In the end… sigh…</p> <p> </p> <p>Third…</p> <p>I went out for a late dinner with my family. Went to one usual shop that we always go to. And… I saw “the b******” there with his family. And it made me remember all the littlest, stupidest moments that I had last time. </p> <p> </p> <p>It was definitely SWAY/SIAL day yesterday. Hope today and the coming weeks will be better…</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-65978584162348194522010-02-20T13:04:00.001+08:002010-02-20T13:06:32.748+08:00with regret, repent, be strong<p><em>And as it comes swifting in, it drowns me… it always does</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:856dedae-5756-48d5-820d-4ed6b847d206" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="6e8f1aee-0eec-499e-86d4-7688ab0dd94c" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NzHxvQU3Fo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" target="_new"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_la2q-CkrnI0/S39tVHBnwpI/AAAAAAAAAq0/pnsJRqip0js/videoadfed060313a%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('6e8f1aee-0eec-499e-86d4-7688ab0dd94c'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/8NzHxvQU3Fo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/8NzHxvQU3Fo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> <p></p> <p> </p> <p>My eyes are painted red</p> <p>The canvas on my soul</p> <p>Is slowly breaking down, again</p> <p>Today I heard the news</p> <p>The story’s getting old</p> <p>When will we see the end</p> <p>Of the days, we bleed, for what we need</p> <p>To forgive, forget, move on</p> <p>Cause we’ve got</p> <p> </p> <p>One life to live</p> <p>One love to give</p> <p>One chance to keep from falling</p> <p>One heart to break</p> <p>One soul to take us</p> <p>Not forsake us</p> <p>Only one</p> <p>Only one</p> <p> </p> <p>The writings one the wall</p> <p>Of those who came before</p> <p>Left pictures frozen still, in time</p> <p>You say you want it all</p> <p>But whose side you’re fighting for</p> <p>I sit and wonder why</p> <p>There are night, we sleep, while others they weep</p> <p>With regret, repent, be strong</p> <p>Cause we’ve got</p> <p> </p> <p>One life to live</p> <p>One love to give</p> <p>One chance to keep from falling</p> <p>One heart to break</p> <p>One soul to take us</p> <p>Not forsake us</p> <p>Only one</p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627799315644391372.post-73420742467654575962010-02-19T17:44:00.001+08:002010-02-19T23:39:03.404+08:00darn virus<p>The week of the Chinese New Year holidays is coming to an end…more like a screeching end. I’m undecided whether I’d prefer the holidays or for the semester to start again so that everything would be done faster. Eventhough it’s CNY, there’s still lots of things to do… assignments, report, thesis, and…catching up on the syllabus for tests. Such a pain… Sleeping doesn’t help to remove my dark circles anymore. How sad… </p> <p> </p> <p>I was fine when I woke up today. Till I bent over to touch my dog and suddenly I felt the nice “twist/sprain” happening to my neck. Thus, I now have a stiff neck which is highly irritating. But… I went for badminton anyways with the painful neck and agitated it more when I was playing. Felt totally “great”… especially when I got charged at and rammed again by the same person.</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">***</p> <p> </p> <p>Hmm… I once thought that that chapter has closed. Only to learn that it doesn’t always close completely. It’s like a darn virus… although it’s not active and causing you all the nonsense, it doesn’t mean that it’s not there either. It’s probably in a dormant state, waiting for the right time to cause another round of nonsense till it gets the best of you. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have… stopped trying to make sense of things or even trying to reason out as to why some things happen. Just keep saying that “yeah, it’ll all be ok, it’s alright. no worries about it”. Really??? I, as the first person of the picture, have no idea/clue what-so-ever. But… I can safely say that this is as far as it goes and I’m done trying. </p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">“Light up, light up</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">As if you have a choice</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">Even if you cannot hear my voice</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">I’ll be right beside you, dear</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">Louder, louder</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">And we’ll run for our lives</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">I can hardly speak, I understand</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#800080">Why you can’t raise your voice to say…”</font></em></p> pearlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888304119036837911noreply@blogger.com0
