No pikcha.
It is no wonder why my sister earned the title of GoogleQueen for she really is one. apart from her usual googling skills in writing reports/research/etc., she recently proved herself once again ahahahah. i've been begging her to watch Boys Over Flowers (for those unenlightened, it's the Korean equivalent of Meteor Garden :P) and so she FINALLY did, LOVED it, and LOVED the soundtrack as well. so while i managed to download only the first album of the official soundtrack, she managed to download that, and the second album, AND sooooooo many other miscellaneous songs that weren't in the official soundtrack. other miscellaneous songs like the characters' ringtones in the show WTH ahahahahahaha. cece, you champion :D
aaaaah, contrary to my previous post, yesterday was such a great friday, and today an equally great saturday thus far. after two torturous weeks of pure work (i actually looked back at our timetable and wondered HAO we actually survived all that), we finally got our desired break! :D went to play a few rounds of badminton and had dinner after that anddddd played L4D2! AWESOME POSSUM YO! it's my second time playing it but that doesn't increase my level of skills at all wth. couldn't even remember the exact names of the zombies in the game - names like Strangler came out when i tried to recall WTH.
and today is a great saturday cos i actually didn't set my alarm clock FOR ONCE since the semester started, and slept in late. well as late as my mum would let me anyway, got called up for lunch ahhaha. but mannnnn, it felt so good and WEIRD to actually sleep in. but i'm not complaining :P
so uni-wise, like i said we've been having work non-stop. an assessable hurdle or two almost every week. HAHAHAHAHA my friends and i were talking about the other day and we came up with the conclusion that this is karma. hahaha. last year when all our other friends were complaining of the reports and assignments they had every week, we were happily gloating 'OWHH i have only two assignments this semester! :D'. see la now, karma -_-
oh oh, and last week saw us setting up a water balloon cum floats cum henna stall at the Monash Extreme Sports Carnival! turn out wasn't that good at the event, but oh well, at least we managed to almost cover the cost and we had fun :) water balloons FTW!
i wanted to post a picture of the carnival but Flickr wouldn't let me do so. so.... :P
----
actually, some sucky stuffs happened yesterday but that's another story for another day. something which i'm quite tired to care about anymore, so i'll just leave it as it is and MOVE ON as how Soo would put it when one of us died during L4D2 :P
and man, my right hand has been shaking since yesterday. tsk, played a few rounds of badminton and like this oledi -___-

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
This is sad weiiiii. it's friday night. and i'm stuck at home writing out a lab report on immunotechniques :( i wanna go watch a movieeeee, or just chill somewhere with the buddiessss. thing is, i don't even know how i'm supposed to start on the report. blehh.
so-called mid-sem BREAK, this is. heck, it feels like a study break for finals. haha. well what's obligatory now would be for me to list out what i needed to finish up during the break, right? heh. okay so let's see, we have two mid-sem tests which are both scheduled on the same week -_- to study for, communication assignment to hand in on Monday, another communication reflective writing to do once we finish our tutorial on wednesday, which is due on the monday after. okay that's all i think. OH, AND the aforementioned 5-page lab report. awesome.
okay enough of ranting.
you know what i feel like eating? RAMLY BURGER. which is precisely what my sis's gonna get for me later since she's out now heh. but you know the thing with ramly burgers - IT'S DAMN SINFUL CAN. die la. but stress and er hormones are getting the better of me, so i need to indulge in something lest you want me to go estranged with my notes in tow :) okay baii. need to churn out some words for the report!

Random tag, random facts :D
Got a tag from Yun lu! :D Sank Q ahahah.
1. Each blogger must post these rules.
2. Each blogger is to write ten random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write about the ten things in their blog and post these rules.
4. Then, you need to tag 5 people and list out their names.
5. Don't forget to leave them comments telling them that they've been tagged.
(sorreh 4 and 5 are inapplicable cos i only feel like writing something and my blog is practically buried 6 feet under so i don't think anyone still follows me haha)
__________________________________________________________________
Random facts!
#1: I love typing # wth. Iono, i just have a fetish for #s heh.
#(oh so nais) 2: I LOVE aeroplanes. i guess it's not really random anymore, seeing that almost everyone who knows me well would know that. in my list of The Simple Pleasures of Life, watching an aeroplane take off/land on the runway ranks pretty high up there :) i think i got it from my enthusiastic uncle who brought us to an airforce show, which got me smitten. couple that with us (siblings and cousins) always seeing him make aircraft models, and a few other uncles/cousins who work in the aviation industry too, so tadaa! you get us aviation fanatics :)
#3: Which brings me to my next point: I LOVE traveling too! :D i'm not sure if there's anyone who doesn't enjoy traveling - but i assume no cos really, in all seriousness, how could anyone sincerely not enjoy absorbing in the new sounds and sights unique of each country? - but yeah, traveling the world is one of those things in my Bucket List.
#4: i don't actually have that many Lists of simple pleasures and things to do before i die lah okay, at least not in black and white. they're all just thought up in the mind at random moments haha. but maybe it is a good thing to write them down.
#5: there is not much food in the world that i don't like, except for those of the onion family (think leeks and beetroot). seriously. you can name me foods and ask if i like them and i'll probably say yes to them all *glutton.
#6: i don't like putting many exclamation marks at the end of a sentence. like this - !!! but i love putting AN exclamation mark at the end of every sentence :D like this! and that! to express my excitement!
#7: every time i sit at train platforms waiting for, duh, a train, i would always imagine myself 1. falling through the tiny crack wth between the platform and the door of the train when boarding and thus being banged and crushed at high speed by moving trains to my death; 2. walking along the platform and accidentally falling down on the tracks, and thus, yes, being banged and crushed at high speed by moving trains to my death again. yes morbid, i know *touch wood 99. but i still take trains now and then hah :P
#8: i am very long-winded when typing. refer to above.
#9: i love driving hahahhaah it secretly makes me feel like a pilot when i push the gear to P and pull up the hand brake. hahaha shhhh embarrassing. i can practically imagine people's faces goin -__-" while reading this :P
#10: i love reading dictionaries! pronunciations and definitions of newly found words (and not so newly found words) make me go 'aaahh' :D
(and yes i know my blog is really dead aaaaa! but um, i'll come back soon! maybe on blogspot :P hahaha. we'll see about that, still pending. bye!)

Grandma's story.
Sleeping cycle's a lil messed up. during the beginning of the holidays, i was damn gung ho in my mission to sleep early every night and wake up early. early to bed, early to rise yo! my ass. nowadays i'm back to the nocturnal owl that i was, sleeping at 3-4 am, waking up at 12 plus. last two days when i was waking up early to prepare breakfast *points at post below*, it was even worse - i woke up early at about 9 plus, ate my breakfast, and then continued sleeping until lunch time. PIG alert T___T
oh speaking of which, breakfast was a success and failure! wth. success cos it's so yummy!, failure cos i didn't contribute anything to it WTH. sisters ended up preparing everything and i just arranged the cutleries *shifty eyes.
okay anyway! i think i should continue the langkawi post!
sooooo, the second day! damn eventful day wth. i'll come to that later. we had some buns for breakfast cos we didn't wanna eat so full cos we're goin island hopping! :D later our vomit become the fishes' food then die wtf.
first stop was Dayang Bunting! the pregnant maiden lake/isle?
heeeeeh sorry for stealing your pic, yun lu. about 13 of us in each boat!
damn cantik right!
everything just felt so surreal. it was barely two days after our exams ended, so i still felt like i had tonnes of studying left to do, notes waiting to be read, exam papers to be done.
but sometimes i just closed my eyes and took deeeeep breaths and told myself, 'ahh this is life' wtf.
our second stop, Beras Basah! after spending some time at Dayang Bunting, we watched eagles feeding, and then stopped by at this island.
some of the girls went for banana boat while the rest of us just chilledz wtf.
hurm i think we went back after that? but lemme tell you this first, speedboats are the shiznits la wth. dammnnnnnn nice to feel the hard bumps while the boat cruises over waves. i remember the first time i sat a speedboat in thailand, i felt like i was gonna have a heart attack there and then wth. oh and plus our er driver(?) did some drifting styles hahaahha damn nice okay having the waves spray over you!
we went back to the hotel rooms after that to shower and everything which we had to do asap cos our schedule was damn packed that day. in true Mayjee the Slowpoke style, i was the last one to emerge from the (bath)room, with wet uncombed hair no less, threw my towel onto my luggage, and jumped straight into the car.
so off we went to the er cable car place! some shit happened along the way tho :/ we were travelling in a convoy of 5 cars right, Josh' car, which was in front of ours, spun (if i'm not mistaken it's because the tyre punctured right?) and actually ended up in the opposite lane but thank god there weren't any cars coming that time, and thank god also that our car wasn't going too fast so Jo managed to brake in time.
dramamama. must have been traumatising for Josh wei :/
anyway, managed to get that fixed yay so we continued our way. finally reached the place and up we went! hahaha but damn cute, they drew grid boxes on the platform, so everyone has to line up orderly and quickly step into the cable car when your turn comes. phwoar but the cable car is kinda scary on the first time up.
if you look closely beneath that smile of mine, you can see me quivering wtf look at how tightly i'm grasping my camera! it issss kinda scary when it's your first time la wei! i was swearing in my mind to calm myself down haha when suddenly the capsule kinda like lurched and my first reaction was 'Oh fuck.' and thus, the OF (Oh F*ck) moment was born. now we have FIT moments too (F*ck It wth).
happy sunshine-y pic of jengjeng and yun lu! :)
and then we reached the first platform! no pic here cos we only had one supah funny pic which i don't think i'm allowed to post up :P
continued going up!
next platform!
the view here was ohmahgawd breathtaking (pic does it no justice) where it felt so surreal again and i had to do the whole close eyes deep breath thing again wth. but Wygene just had to potong by saying 'eh kinda looks like broccoli hor' wth HAHAHHA.
Okay quite lah, wtf.
On the suspension bridge.
and then the next eventful incident happened - our infamous spontaneous jungle trekking. hahahaha so what was supposed to happen was this, this suspension bridge leads to the last platform, and after that we're supposed to backtrack to the platform where we came from, to take the cable car back down to ground.
what really happened was this - us taking another route from the last platform; the route for the jungle trek back to the first platform FOL. so all of us, in our flip flops and shorts and without lunch, went trekking through the jungle back to the first base hahahha. now that i think of it, it's quite funny ahahaha although that time all that came out from me was 'wtf is this T_T' :P
dahlah intially we didn't know where the trek would lead to. just simply prayed that it'll lead to somewhere. it didn't help that some of us started thinking 'die lah. tomorrow's headlines - Monash's pioneer Pharmacy students missing' hahahaha.
okay enough drama. we finally emerged at the platform :D
the tired us finally went to have dinner after that and played around at the beach for a while. went out to Kuah town after that for duty free shopping and then chilled with some KFC and Bailey's wth. oh wait wait! hema and i also got our presents from the gang, THANK YOU people :D
wah this post damn long right. BABAI people

Why
the hell am i up now. i'm supposed to be waking up early tomor-, wait scratch that, today to *jeng jeng jeng* make American Breakfast! (yes i'm excited like that when it comes to food) (got mushroom soup, hotdogs, fried eggs, baked beans gosh i'm feeling hungry already let's fast forward time!)
i'm feeling damn pumped up to make food nowadays. considering the fact that i can't cook to save my life, this remains a barely attainable goal. but oh, i feel like baking! cakes, cupcakes, pies..
or this could just mean that i'm getting fat and craving unreasonably for food. dayum.

Part of Langkawi.
Man, can you believe it? It's been one week since I finished my finals! And exactly one week since I went to Langkawi T_____T This time last week, I was running around the house frantically, dumping stuffs into my luggage as I pack while ticking it off my to-bring list in my handphone. It took me about 2 hours to get everything done!Then Hema told us the next morning that she came back at 2 plus in the morning and took only half an hour to pack everything. *hangs head in shame
(Actually, i typed this yesterday, so technically, this time last week, i'm in langkawi already wtf.)
Soooo, time to blog about Langkawi. Last year, I did a day-by-day account. This year, I'm too lazy wth. And I don't have many pics this time around! Didn't take much cos tell me, don't you just tend to be very dependent on someone else's DSLR and end up not taking much pics with your own compact camera! So I'll steal some from Yun Lu's DSLR la yeah hehe thanks Lu!
In the bus on the way there! Everyone was pretty tired out cos we had to meet up at 6am at Monash, so most of us were either sleeping or just chilling. Sang karaoke and played some cards to pass time too.
Eh shit la, whenever i see this pic, i can't help but notice that i look like i'm biting the ear of whoever it is behind me. Damn disturbing!
I find this pic very amusing cos there was an almost similar pic from my Langkawi trip last year!
Hahahahhaha. Okay la so it's not very similar, but the malay dude in the pic (no, not Jun Jen wtf) looks quite alike right!
In the ferry! All of us getting more and more excited cos we're REACHING! :D L-R: Jeng Nee, me, Yun Lu. There was another pic with Jiun in it but she was blinking :(
We didn't take any more pics after that haha. Lemme try to recall what we did. Oh okay, we reached the pier, paid up for stuffs like car rental and cable car tickets, got our cars, went to Malibest Resort, dumped our stuffs, went to check out the Cenang beach, ate dinner, got some booze and water, car broke down wth, switched cars with the rental owners, played drinking games in the guys' room, slept. wth. Our room - Jeng Nee, Hema, Yun Lu and I - trieddddd to wake up early to watch whatever there will be of the sunrise (we're on the west side of the island) but failed T_T
To be continued WTH. I'm getting reeeeally sleepy now cos I went jogging and played a few rounds of badminton today. So bye! I'll continue the Langkawi post later! :D

The Time Traveler's Wife
This was a book I picked up close to half a year ago but never got around to finishing it, not because it wasn't good but mostly because i didn't have the timeeee. So now that my break is here, the first thing I did was to continue reading it cos heck, even the movie's out! *sheepish. And i have to say, like what everyone else already did, that the book's gooooooooooooooood. Dunno about the movie cos i haven't watched it heh.
It makes you wonder if there really is such extraordinary love in this chaotic world where love places a mere second behind everything else. At least, that's how it seems like to me these days.
Mr. DeTamble says, "But you asked about Annette, not about me. She was kind, and she was a great artist; you don't often find that those go together. Annette made people happy; she was happy herself. She enjoyed life. I only saw her cry twice; once when I gave her that ring and the other time when she had Henry.:
Another pause. Finally I say, "You were very lucky."
He smiles, still shielding his face in his hands. "Well, we were and we weren't. One minute we had everything we could dream of, and the next minute she was in pieces on the expressway." Henry winces.

"But don't you think," I persist, "that it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"
