Unintended

How interesting a day can be.

I was about to break my record before leaving the college by jogging VOLUNTARILY around Lembah Beringin. (Well it had always been due to military purposes - Heart Awareness Week, Marathon, Merentas Desa yada yada. Running is so not me.)

And it rains. Cats and dogs and kittens and everything.

heh *drenched*. So there's my record. *grin*

You Only Live Twice

There will be some time when I'll be extremely sensitive. A sudden sulk from any dear friend can kept me thinking, "What have I done?". So volatile, yes. There'll be some time when I just don't care about people and loudly express the critical part of me. Thank God that'll only happen when I'm with the right people.

Well today, I guess the sensitive part of me made its appearance.

Enough of the mushy-mushy.

Papers left - 4!! gosh, how time flies. The remaining battle will be Maths P3, Chemistry option, Physics and Chems practicals. P3 will be in 4 days time, but I already started on my Phase Equilibria and Transition Element. Huhu, can't help it, I am just sooo can't wait to study Chemistry. As if P3 dah hustler. nyeh nyeh.

Why am I so obsessed with Chemistry? haha I get that a lot during high school. Ibu said maybe its due to her kept on writing chemical equation while having me during pregnancy. Doesn't matter, one thing for sure if I can't pursue chemical engineering, I will resort to chemistry.

It is the central science. No matter what the physicist says.

Play Dead

Physics option paper.
:'(

Nevermind, there are still other papers. I'll get what I deserve. Hope I deserve something good.

Latest addiction : 'lagu-lagu pelik'. Bjork, Portishead.

A reminder from fellow tuteemate - 'Ufah, esok ada tutorial lunch, 12.15pm.' uh huh, better be prepared with explaination regarding the papers. :P

Looking forward to Chemistry. Now there's something I will truly enjoy during these stressful weeks.

Karma

Physics paper 1 and 4 in one stretch. Both papers went relatively well. Such a sad thing for paper 4, 1 year's effort of studying A2 syllabus determined in 1 hour paper. I enjoy learning A2 physics very much but 1 hour, that's it.

Tomorrow's paper, physics practical. Hope history won't repeat itself, pls.

Anyway, welcoming a new fellow blogger, Gillian! :D

Gratitude

Due to my previous post, I received a number of responds from my friends. Thanks you guys, thank you for just simply responding. It did help much actually. Really.

Looking back at it, I might have been too emotional that time. (Exam stress? Probably. :)) But then, we're human and if we're not at least, somehow, sometimes, act unpredictably or emotionally, then it sounds like there's no worth having emotion at all. Then again, here comes the yin and yang. Do it accordingly laa rite. jgn emo sgt :P (like me? once in a blue moon kut. i think. u think?)

1st A Level paper in 75 hrs.
All the best to everyone :D

Here Is Gone

So pissed off.
One rotten apple spoils the whole basket.

chalet ***** : 'kg seberang taklim' .. times 50 mass messages.

I mean, what the hell?? Niat dah baik nak buat taklim tapi gaya buruk dan memalukan diri sendiri. Occupied chalets in kg sbrg are only like... maximum 6? My statistics sux but I am sure it's not that many so I believe it doesn't hurt to privately msg each one of them.

I mass messaged : 'sakit ke. jgn memalukan diri sendiri pls'
and they have the gut to reply me back : 'pls memalukan komputer chalet...'

and again, what the hell? so childish.
Or am I being childish?

So let's play childish. I replied : 'human yg trigger those action pls'
***** : 'pnah main game chrono trigger kat psx ke?'

OK that's it.

I admit I do not have the sufficient capabilities or religious knowledge that I can conduct taklim or at least apprise them. But I do know, that people who are purely sincere in doing any good deeds will not publicly announce it to the whole world. At least, not the whole college. Oh, maybe they need to maintain a high profile. Maybe they really crave for publicity. I don't know. I just can't comprehend.

I would like to reinforce my point. One rotten apple spoils the whole basket. Reputation matters. Sekian, terima kasih.

Superheroes

Last month, a worldwide survey was conducted by
the UN. The only question asked was: "Would you
please give your honest opinion about solutions to
the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure.

In Africa, they didn't know what "food" meant. In
Eastern Europe, they didn't know what "honest"
meant and in Western Europe, they didn't know what
"shortage" meant.

In China, they didn't know what "opinion" meant
while in the Middle East, they didn't know what
"solution" meant.

In South America they didn't know what "please"
meant and in the USA, they didn't know what "the
rest of the world" meant.

*sigh*

Creep

I've successfully donated blood today!

350 cc, unlike 150 last year due to thrombosis.

At least now I have the feeling that I've done something for the community (hek?). After all, it's the thought that matters right? :D

And surprise surprise. Realized that I lost 2kg while weighing during the blood donating process. But those couple kilos will get easily pound back in since I have too many free blocks nowadays. The evil side of free blocks.

Talk Shows On Mute

Every Wednesday is the tutorial lunch day with Dr Foord. As usual, I'll be sitting among other 8 macho guys which happens to be my tuteemates, with me being the only female engineer among the bunch. Some girls said "wah ufah, bestnye sorang2 je pompuan !" (??huh??), while some other asked me "tak conscious ke ufah, sorang2 je..?" well, if it is 3 years ago I might be rather cuak to the max, but it seems that I've change relatively a lot in the past couple years.

It used to be taking the longest route to the toilet because I didn't want to pass by the 'kelas kejuruteraan' in my school, where the guys like to hang out along the corridor. (cuak? I just felt ridiculously timid to be among them in whom I was not very well acquinted with). Easy to say, penakut. :P

Now. Soon-to-be an engineering student, that will be the last thing that I should worry about. Nevertheless, going to a lecture where I might be one girl among 10 girls in the hall among 200 students, cuak should be inconsequential. So I'm no longer penakut. I hope :D

Back to the tutorial lunch. I proposed to Dr Foord to bring us to the Nobel Prize Centennial Exhibition in National Science Centre after our A Level papers. It is a so-called travelling exhibition and Malaysia is one of the 3 Asia countries chosen for this, and the only one in South East Asia region. Their last stop will be in London 2006. Why wait until 2006 to go to London if they are already here? :D

Jauh

1st paper in 15 days time.

It's a blessing to have this 4 days holiday just 2 weeks before A Level. It gives me a reason to relax for a while and vows that after this, it'll be all work.

Lately there's been reports on NS trainers assaulting NS trainees. It really affect the society (especially parents and guardians) perspective and trust on the programme. There were statement made by the council that they'll charge the teenagers who refused to join the NS programme, yet they can't guarantee the safety of the participants. Eventhough the incident can be classified as isolated case, but human nature, that will be the one highlighted in the mass media. I am sure there are lots of other benefits and change that are managed to be achieved during the programme, but it all regrettably dissolved due to these immoral act of those who does not deserve to be the role model of these future leaders.

Won't be updating my blog frequently after this. People say a picture worth a thousand words. I love pictures. So my photopages will replace those lost words. :)
