let's get The Ugly out of the way.
last paper was so bad, nobody i talked to could say anything to make it better. nobody.
so don't anybody try.

but it's all my own doing, so i gotta suck it up and live with it.

unpleasant, bitter and difficult to swallow. it's all of that.

show yer mettle and hold your head up high honey.

yet i must not discredit those who had to bear the brunt of my whining, complaining and cussing. they really did help me. *hugs* - marlini(but she doesn't like hugs), suhaila, izzati, nydia and hatta. thank you, you and you.

on another Ugly note, i looked like i'd been run over by a truck, while having chickenpox. thank you exams.

and then it was over.
and i had suuperb company throughout the entire day. :) :)

she gets biggest mention for keeping my mind off The Ugly.

rozzie rocks!


a lil bit of this, a dash of that, and it was near perfection!

a lil bit of clothes and shoes,
a lot of happy food,
a totally mindless movie (movie - omg, when did i last go for one man),
endless chatter,
and much exploring!

no, we didn't explore sentosa, but this was taken from the far end of vivo. thank you wind. (for real)

oh ya, yay for rozzie likes vivo! :)

we caught open season. i love cartoon-movies! mindless, funny, adorable and always end happy! what more need i ask for?

next up - happy feet! yay!

speaking of which, i recognized a tinytot today by the sound of her voice and her unmistakable speech. heffalump lady! ooohh! i love smart eloquent kids. i like it when they are able to form complete sentences and converse like adults. i just hope they never get rude. inquisitive and inquiring fine - good in fact, but not rude please.

plans are fast-forming. i have to bear in mind though, that i only have four weeks.

the last place rozzie and i explored:


guess where! i'm not telling!

i'll tell you why.

come that time of the month;
pimples, hormones, cramps.. and the biggest pain of all..

CRAVINGS!

so that's how i know my t-of-the-m is here.

sometime today (whilst studying medical microbi really intensely) i started thinking about tauhui! and the yummy gooey rice balls that come in most tauhui.

and i thought and i thought and i thought abt it all day.

i sms-ed sister to see if she could get me some on her way back.
alas! i was too late.
she was already on the bus back - darnit.

and i thought abt it some more, even after dinner!

then i decided, CANNOT. what if tomorrow during paper i'm still thinking of my tauhui, then how?!

so. i put on a ronyok tudung (thank god for the colour black) - totally unironed. i didn't bother changing into lenses, OR putting on makeup, and i hopped into the car with daddy and brother who were already heading towards interchange (to run some errand).

and YAY! i got jollibean tauhui!
alas! they didn't have rice balls. grr.

but it's ok. i got back and i got my first spoonful of warm, sweet, smooth and silky tauhui and I WAS SATISFIED! then i had two more spoonfuls.

now the tauhui is just sitting there.

kherkherkhheeerr.

and because my t-of-the-m is here, my face looks like a freaking AGAR plate lah! with like bacterial colonies all overr.. it's like got the perfect incubation conditions for growth! (microbi ok, i was REALLY studying.) plus, pimples are exam-induced! therefore, my face now serves as DOUBLE-STRENGTH media.

anyway. i can't believe WHAT I DID TODAY. IT IS POSSIBLE. I FINISHED MEDICAL MICROBI IN ONE DAY! wahoots!! and i diedie have to finish food microbi before err, 11:30pm tonight? gaahh.

it's an achievement, NOT cause there's sooo banyak to study. but cause at the rate I usually study, i do like TWO sets of lecture notes in THREE days. yup. i really take my time. HAHA. but this time around CANNOT AFFORD it ready lah. and today, i did FOUR SETS medical microbi in ONE AFTERNOON!

the things that are possible when you put your mind to it. :D

but oklah, it took a lot faster than usual cause there's NO text to read - grumblegrumble. those money-making suckers want us to BUY THEIR cd-rom (they make themselves one) as a reference for this PORTION of the module. it's just a PORTION, not even for the WHOLE module. grr. i don't want to buy! they want to make money out of us only. FOR WHAT.

ok ok, gotta chiong food microbi!

ok couldn't resist putting up a couple more.

ok ok after this i'll go back to microbi.

waste water treatment - activated sludge yadayada ie SHIT water. and how they (not me) microbiologists clean YOUR shit. which i swear smells like SHITSHIT. had to look at samples of it for lab. YECH. all of you your shit is DAMN SMELLY.

haha ok. i'm not angry at you, i'm angry at your shit. actually no, i'm angry at microbi. or at myself for STRAYING when i have virtually NO TIME left.

ok ok i'm going i'm going. straight back to microbi, i promise.

after i pray maghrib.

whaaaaat. i HAVE to pray what. Posted by Picasa

got bored of studying microbi, so here's a sneak peek into the other raya. credits to zat's lil slaves at home, for taking the shot. ;)

and, my best wishes goes out to these girls - good luck! jiayou! chiong a bit more hor. almost there. ;)

more photos will come afterwards.

ok so my exams started yesterday.

it feels unreal.

like eh? exams ah? ooh.

haha. yalah, because i am not usually so unprepared!! grr.

but guess what! TWO down, two to go. :D

yesterday, today,
tuesday, wednesday,
then..

PARTY! :) :) :)

i spend ALL my life (since this past monday) studying immuno! SO BANYAK TO STUDY! I CANNOT TAHAN! WHY SO BANYAK. (therefore i am unprepared for the rest!)

but i actually like what i'm studying, so good. :) (BUT HOW TO FINISH. :( )

today i had physio. i like studying for it. like mm, it makes sense. BUT THEN. when come to paper. uhh, maybe this.. i think this should be the answer.. hmm.. err.. omg which one ah..

I WISH I HAD MORE TIME. (TO STUDY)

oklah. i shall try to FINISH studying post-ca immuno tonight (hur. like real.) so that tomorrow and monday can be devoted to microbi (tuesday paper). i haven't LOOKED at microbi since uh, ca some many weeks back. then tuesday after microbi, i shall look at immuno syllabus from BEFORE the ca (pre-ca immuno). omg IMMUNO SO BANYAK, STOP IITT!!

see lah, i've never actually sat for a (real) paper with 2 days of prep behind me. and now i shall have to do it for microbi. boo. (ma1102r calculus last sem, does not count, because calculus is bodoh and it was a mistake. hence it's not a real paper.)

URGH.

it's past 2 a.m, and poor Yani is on the p.c, feverishly trying to complete her assignment.
Mama is sitting next to her, watching episode after episode of Hikmah on Youtube (on Kak Long's laptop).

Mama: (concerned) dik, pukul beraper ni nak tido? dah malam ni..
Yani: kejap, kasi i abiskan yang ni dulu..
Mama: oklah, Mama temankan you.. (clicks on "Play")

WTH!!

it's now 3 a.m.

Yani: Ma, i dahbis.. i tgh nak pack ni..
Mama: (eyes glued to screen) ah ok ok yang ni last.. (points to screen) ni lagi 5 minute..

Yani is done packing. in fact, she has packed her bag, talked to Hatta on the phone (for a good half-hour), switched off the lights and nicely tucked in bed. she notices that the lights outside are still on.

Yani: (yells, from in bed) MAAA!! jangan melebih-lebih.. besok you kerjer pagii!

there you go. roles are now reversed.

anecdote 1 -
Yani: Ma i dah bilang kawan-kawan i sumer.. sumer tahu kisah you tgk Youtube..
Mama: EH?? jangan lah..
Yani: i tulis kat blog i.. you tak nampak ke? (she used to religiously read my blog.)
Mama: Eh! sejak Mama bukak Youtube ni, Mama dah tak bukaak blog sumer lagi! a-ah, betuull!

-_-

anecdote 2 -
Boy: Ma, kalau you nak dier download cepat lagi, you picit Alt F4..
Mama: (eager) EHH?? Alt.. (presses Alt on the keypad) maner F4? (searches for F4 button)

hahahahaha!

Boy: taklah.. kalau Mama nak cepat download, Mama picit ni (down arrow) banyak-banyak..
Mama: (presses down arrow key furiously) takder pun!

hahahahaha!

i liiiiiiiiiike.
and i'm coming back. :)

it's disgusting how we whine and lament and how we hate our lives. we need to stop. we need to stop being up there, and come down here.

vivocity is a zoo. it's NEVER empty. trust me when i say NEVER. because? because i've been there a ridiculous number of times in the month since its been open, and i tell you, it's NEVER empty. even when i was there at 2pm on tuesday. a freaking weekday afternoon!

and don't judge me for the frequent visits. it's one freaking bus away from nus! and the journey lasts barely 20min. how to not go? it's the nearest, most convenient and time-efficient place to go to for a bite after lab! right zat? ;) two pracs in a row now. thank god it didn't open earlier. else i foresee us religiously dropping by after every lab.

oh! i gotta tell this story. it's like one of those no-kidding moments.

so i left microbi lab midway for german make-up tutorial. (my tutor just gave birth! aaww! to a baby girl :) ) and i contemplated going back to lab after that. yes lab lasts from 2pm to 6pm, so i thought there'd be ample time to go german and come back. but as i was on my way back to lab, i saw somebody from the same lab sitting in science canteen. so i thought ok ask her if lab's over. and i ended up just sitting there and talking to her. :)

then i didn't really feel like going back to lab. or back home even. so i decided to wait for zati. my phone was dead, and i hadn't made plans with her. so my plan was: stake out and catch her. so i sat and waited and waited. until my friends left already and i was waiting alone. so i thought maybe she went to pray. and i was bored of sitting. so i thought i'd go catch her at the prayer area. so i made my way to the lift. i pressed the button. i heard footsteps coming down the stairs next to the lift. then i thought maybe that's her. but then i thought sekali it's not her, then i paiseh. so i almost stepped into the lift, then i looked again, and it WAS her! hahahaha LUCKY i never got into the lift. if not wasted sia i wait so long. heheheh

my mom is unbelievable. this morning she got home from night-shift and announced to my sister and i that she didn't sleep the WHOOOLE night. (usually they get to catch some shut-eye during the night shift.)

so WHY didn't she sleep? not cause she soo hardworking, work hard the whole night.

because she was YOUTUBING. for what? hikmah SEASON THREE.

my mom YOUTUBES. for the latest seasons.
suria is now showing hikmah season 1, and rcti (indon channel) showed season 2 last year, and 1 the previous year.

then she gushed. (i swear.) about how good the show is and how "satuu malaamm mama tak tido!!

then tonight, she youtubed on my laptop cause she diedie want me to see. so i was watching first episode season 3 with her, and she's like telling me what's going to happen next.

"nanti yang dier ni, nanti dier jadi baik tau. dier dah duduk dgn ana, dier jadi baik."
"biler? dalam episode ni?"
"tak, nanti nanti. lamer lagi.."
"macam mana mama tahu? mama dah tengok?"
"a-ah lah semalam mama tengok.."
knowing how slow these things happen in these shows, i had to ask:
"haa mama dah tengok?? semalam mama tengok sampai episode beraper??"
"episode 57.."

WTH.

"MAAAAA!! you kerjer ke you tgk tv??"

today was mostly a yummy day.

i had filming for faculty of science corporate video this morning! ;) at ibn. made it through the auditions two weeks ago, and yeah. shot this morning. i needed so many takes! still, coolness.

i left school before noon! hooray!

and my bag was light today. :)

nice lonely rides are therapeutic. and good for reminiscing. :)

i bought myself new york pizza lunch, along with spicy buffalo wings! yumm.

i also got sweetalk blueberry milk tea! YUMM. :D

i reached home to a quiet, empty house. peaceful.

i had a nice leisurely lunch watching grey's anatomy.

it was a happy episodes. i like happy episodes. :)

then, i curled in bed and watched 3 more episodes. from both seasons 2 & 3. grey, yang, stevens and especially o'maley make me happy. they make me laugh. i love their chemistry. :)

after that, i got out of bed to shower. and i took a nice long warm one. and i washed my hair using my new anti-dandruff hair-strengthening CLEAR shampoo which smells SO GOOD. *aaaaahh* yum.

for the many-eth time, i saw the trailer for tonight's prisonbreak. i like love stories. i have a soft spot for them. they melt me. i want love story. i like to melt.

and then my yummy day ended there. :(

because
lab report due tomorrow, still undone. and really no idea what i'm supposed to do.
one oral exam, one presentation, one report and one resubmission lined up next week.
and two more reports, one assignment and one semester test to follow.

exams are in 22 days, how come i still have so much crap to do?

22 freaking days.

i don't want 22 freaking days. i want yummy days.

i need more yummy days.

i shouldn't have let my yummy day end.

i want my yummy day back!
