this is weird, it's weird, very weird...f****** weird (courtesy of RENT, no the profanity is not from me)

p is for procastination. procastinate. procastinate.. till u cant breathe anymore. dont blame anyone else but urself!!! I HATE PROCASTINATING but i get soooooooooooooooooooooooooo easily distracted with stuff!! like, i went on youtube and watched the first epi of Beauty and the Geek 2 cause i tot the concept was kinda.. 'refreshing'.... and i stupidly slept at 2am for that!!!!

im so dumb!! oh, and then i viewed the portfolio of some ANTM models.... and i tot.. whoa.. these are plain looking girls with make-up on and they look sooo good with the camera..... like, adrienne, eva and yoanna (winners of ANTM 1, 3, 2 respectively) look incredible in all their shots... took my breath away... hahahah....but i dun like the idea of nicole being the ANTM.. so doesnt fit the bill lah...

ive ard 9 term papers due in March and early April and i havent started on anything at all! what in the world is wrong with me???? arrghghghgh.... [knocks head, hears echoes instead]

lemme ask, what is the meaning of life? u know the answer, but do u believe in it?

chopped locks

LAB MISADVENTURE 2 on friday....:
- went to lab without lab coat. thinking that they'll give new ones. baah! proven wrong.
- scuttled everywhere to look for 2 lab coats (the gross-looking blue coloured disposable lab coats, mind you)
- thank you nat and nat's fren for saving us (hafie and i conveniently forgot to bring our lab coats actually) and making us look good in proper white lab coats instead of the gross-looking disposable lab coat.
- were real ditsy cause we didnt take the enzymes (the main thing needed) for the experiment while we were already starting on it. now the lab assists and TA prob think that arts undergrads dun noe their science stuff. [not true ok.. i still know that f=ma]
- think i killed the plant outside my house cause i watered it with enzymes [smuggled one small tube of enzyme out of the lab..... - dont charge me with lab heist!!]

ATTRITION OF THE MALAY LANGUAGE
- had DPI this afternoon... got confused between bapa saudarla lelaki and anak saudara lelaki.. [there goes a mark from my test]
- the only pantun pusaka i know: yang kurik itu kundi, yang merah itu saga.. yang baik itu budi, yang indah itu bahasa.
- cant talk in proper bahasa melayu pasar... i think.

TASMI'
- did my tasmi' just now...alhamdulillah... it wasnt so good but definitely much better than last sem. syukran ya ukhti erni wa mammi wa ukhti wardah wa ukhti marlina wa ukhti fiza... :)
- ustaz abd manaf has a nice voice!! want to hear him read the Qur'an....

^cant wait to meet my friends!!^

...kar rijli....

BLONDE WEEK!

kickstarted the week with a frenzy in the lib and ended it off with one in the science lab. ls lab 4... shall rmr for life man.. wkahaakahakaa..

anw, for the first experiment, we're supposed to look at our cheek cells. so yarh, i placed my cheek-cells ladened glass slide into the microscope.. then i tried looking at it. but no.. nothing could be seen. and it just sooooooooo happens that the lab assistant walked past by my place.

she said: "it might help if u turn on the switch" (slightly harsh tone)
me (thinking): "oh... there's supposed to be a switch? gosh, where is it? i can only see the plug... where's the on-off button?.......".

and actually, it was just right next to the plug. (blonde moment)

so yeah, i tot.. problem solved. but then i saw nothing in the microscope...

she said: "ure supposed to switch on the button at the SIDE of the microscope."

i was just about to say "thank you" when.....she continued...with an irritated tone...
" u were NOT there for the briefing were u?"
me: "i was.. a bit late?"
she: "next time dont be late.. yadda yadda...." (in one of the most colonel-like tones ever...but i wasnt really listening to her.. cause yeh, i get ur point. just dun be late..)
me: "o - kay....."

hmm... are people always that mean? oh well.. maybe she had a bad day or smthg.. but chill lady... u need to spread some cheer ard! dun make it as if lab works are sooo draconian....oh well...
but anw, i did feel BLONDE. like.. how come my thinking cells just died?? when i think back about it.. i think i may be jinxed with lab work.. cause hor...almost all my lab experiences never seem to work out...like in sec 3, my burette kept gushing out some chemical.. so my test was foiled... in sec 2, i was scared of the bunsen burner..then in yr 2, the pendulum didnt swing right..but i DID manage to look at my cheek cells in SEC 1.. thanks to Mr Ho. wakhakahkahkahk!.. whatever larh, at least the week ended off with an interesting note *scrounges face*

and guess what i saw at a tutorial room?!?!?!?
this:



anw.. what it said was this: "If you lost sth in this room on 7/2 at ard 8-12noon, you can email me at +++++++@+++++ to retrieve it". and some smart aleck... drew a line above the word (sth) and wrote.."virginity"..... what a sick cheeky person..... tsk tsk tsk....

*yawns...* have to stop abruptly... cause the mind is undergoing hibernation.....

<must watch WINTER OLYMPICS!! GO ICE-HOCKEY!!!!>
<Victoria's Secrets and Snyders Jalapeno......taufik batisah...nice smile>

started the day off at tampines sports stadium. jogged 3 rounds and walked 2 rounds the track. from the panting, i can safely infer that, yes, my fitness level has plummeted. it's not such a big surprise since ive ceased any forms of exercise even BEFORE the A-levels. oh well, shall work on it.

oh and ive got to thank liana for not studying and for sacrificing her time to accompany me watch le grand voyage :) thanks darl.. u're a gem! so...the story was a bit....just a teeny bit mundane...but its still rich with life lessons and yeah, the last part of the story moved me to tears. i mean, at the end of it all, blood is thicker than water.. no matter how diverse a father and son can be, family ties still prevail. and indeed, Hajj is a piligrimage worthy of time, money, blood, tears.. u name it. u just have to put ur heart into it.

so anw after the movie, we went for a light window shopping.. hehehehe... i saw this bag.. which i was itching to get... but.... after careful considerations (yeah ryt) i dismiss the idea of getting one. its like everytime i see something i like, its as if i could hear someone egging me on to buy it. you know like "buy it! buy it! u know u want it.. so buy it!! BUY IIIITTTT!!!".< i think its the devil yakking.>

but you see... when it comes to shopping, it's a matter of how you differentiate with what you WANT and what you NEED. Often, the two arent as clear as black and white. heeeeeeee.......so if that is the case, how will you know what u should or should not buy?????? mai bu mai???

-did you use the hotel phone?-
{le grand voyage}

......want to watch les choristes, love me if u dare, munich, rent, brokeback mountain, superman returns, x-men 3, pirates of the carribean 2.........

thick skin me.

ok... i had a not so flattering day at the library today. in my attempt to be "independant" and utilise the resources in school, i just successfully made a mess out of it.. and i soon found out that technology (esp that of printers and computers) simply hates me. sigghh..

it all started with me trying to be 'adventourous' by printing notes using the comps in the library. after succesfully booking a comp, i went to search for it.. but being "blind", i couldnt find it and when i finally DID, some intimidating looking guy was happily seated at my COMP. but being the timid, easily scared gal (gosh i sound pathetic) that i am, i PRETEND that i din see him and that i forgot which comp was assigned to me. i only returned to the computer only when the guy left the place. FLUSTERING MOMENT 1: ive no guts when im alone

so ok.. when i settled down with the comp, i started clicking on the PRINT buttons for the notes that i wanted. happily i tot, everything will be fine. then, when i went to the printers, the print job showed that I HAD NOTHING TO PRINT which was an ultimate lie!!! by that time, ive logged out of the school comp. FLUSTERING MOMENT 2: i queued up for nothing!!

which ultimately means that i have to BOOK another computer AGAIN to re-PRINT the notes. so ok, no prob, i can take a little setback... so then i re-clicked on the documents that i wanted to print. and i printed quite a lot of notes mind you... especially for GENERAL BIO. but here's the catch.... i DIDN'T PRINT the notes as HANDOUTS but as SLIDES. and get this i printed 2 lecture notes for GEN BIO. and EACH lecture notes has ard 45 SLIDES. so times that by 2 and i have happily wasted 90 pages of SLIDES.

thats not the end of the story.... then hor, the slides are COLOURED. so i opted for it to be printed in BLACK.. BUT....when the coloured slides were printed... IT BECAME ALL BLACK. i swear i have like over 15 pages of blackness and white dots in the midst. it totally looked as if i were taking an ASTRONOMY module.. what with black slides and dotted with blobs of white...

then hor.. haflway through the printing.... IT JAMMED! the printer JAMMED. so, i had to ask the technician to rectify the prob.. what he did was simple. he lifted the printer cover and slammed it down again... problem solved. and he gave me the "this is how u do it look". thanks man, ure so charming.....(rolls eyes). so anw, the printer jammed AGAIN. but ah, this time round im smarter.. hahah.. i rectified it myself (applause please). so yup.. thats my adventure with the printer. FLUSTERING MOMENT 3: my cashcard was $16 b4 the printing. at the end of it all, it was reduced to $8............ wasted.....

ok so i tot, that will be enuff with the horrendous printer moment.....but then i returned to the computer...(i didnt log off the 2nd time round)... i happily surfed the net... talked on the phone,,, when suddenly.... the computer screen went.. BLANK. no it wasnt hibernating.. it just went BLANK. like it went dead on me. so you know what? i had had enough with this techie troubles... and so i did what anyone would have done.. CABUT from the place. get as far as possible from the place! hahahahahahah....

so yeah, thats my story.. oh and the good thing that come out of it: i spent approx 2 hours on it, so i wasnt so loner-ish. 2. never go and print ur notes by urself.

and.. just now when i was gg back home with hurul and hidayah mohsin at clementi mrt, some suspicious looking guy stopped me.. he said "kak boleh tolong saya...." and u know what i did, being me, i gave him my blur look like "are u talking to me?" look and walked off. hahaha.. hidayah said that he was looking ard and he went directly to me when he saw me, first of all, DUN CALL ME kakak.. what with the redness of my face, doesnt it show u that im an adolescent younger than you????? and 2: u look evil.. so stay away 3: i was rushing off to century with the gals for chicken cutlet.. so dun stop me!!!

so thats that for my monday....this is weird, its weird, very weird,.................(u know the word)..

torment
is when your heart desires what you cannot get.
is when your compass shows you no bearing.
is when your regrets bury you dead.
is when your belief
of who you are, of who you will be, of who you can be
go asunder.

so free me.
free me from the perils,
the tragedies of this world.
free me from the abyss,
so free me from the heavens of deceit.
of emotions that destroy.
of ideologies that destruct.

free me
so i can be in the garden that you promised.

but
freedom comes with a price.
no struggle will go without pain.
no pain without a struggle.

grant me
liberation.
