bOring

the show made me tired & sleepy... dont get the wrong idea, i wasn't doing any particular exercise that made me sleepy... the only exercise i got was by straining my eyes & ears to watch tat show, but it turned out to be quite a let-down. Basic Instinct 2 = lousy show.

besides that fact that sharon stone is still hot, the whole show has nothing worth while to be watched. the male lead was terrible, he was super DULL, he doesnt show any expression, his eyes are so "dead" & he his body is just old & hotless... darn, why find such a male lead? its just pure wasting time... i rate Basic Instinct 1 at a very very much higher grade... tis sequel is jz wasting money.

sex scene? lousy... nothing to see, not even to mention the word "steamy"... its NO WHERE near exciting, nonetheless steamy. im very easily turned on by sex scenes, especially passionate ones, but these sex scenes where so lousy, it made me feel like falling asleep, so, can u imagine how UN-sexy, UN-exciting, UN-steamy that could be?

conclusion, not a good watch, unless ur totally bored outta ur head, if not, jz keep the show under wraps...

k-dAy

yesterday, i & a fren sang K, the whole 3 hours + fillet lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & it only cost me less than rm 7!!!!!!!
to tell u the fact, i seldom sing-K. not that i dont like singing... i was jz never really that excited to sing. for one thing, wen i go wif a bunch of frens, there r so many who can sing much beta thn me... girl, they sing for bands & stuff, so i jz go there to hang around & eat. sucks rite? moreover, my voice sucks... i dont sing... i croak, like a frog :P ahaks... *piaks* so wat's the point of me singing?

& one more thing, the songs that i can sing, are either from "grasshoppers" or "hocc" or other english oldies or malay songs... who, at my age, will sing those songs? (ok, besides hocc fans, who will sing hocc's songs)... now, who in the world would choose "tamparan wanita by ELITE", "stayin' alive by BeeGees", "dancing queen by ABBA", "ku tak sanggup by KrisDayanti", "through the years by KennyRogers", "lady by KennyRogers", "all that she wants by AceOfBase" & all the other grasshoppers' songs? answer: NOBODY

so, there u go... ahah... i can only go wif a close fren, who wouldn't laugh at me... ahahha...

nO fee|

it's over.... the exams are over... & i dont... feel anything... why?
i don't know why... well, maybe i know i still hv my thesis to work on... oh well...
im happy, but not ecstatic... i should be jumping up & down... but then... im still firmly rooted to the ground... not as "high" as im supposed to be... haven't even had a drink to drink or a smoke to smoke yet... hmmm...

but the experience of having to sit in the exam hall for 6 hours is truly, something new... & i was really lucky because both the papers weren't killers... i mean, i expected it to be tougher than it was, so i didnt really drained my brain to the max... but then again, a whole 6 hours... it was 9.00 am to 5.30pm, with only about 2 over hours to have my lunch & get a bath in between... by the end of 5.30pm, i was already brain-frozen. i mean, it was hard to think anymore, i just refused to use my low-capacity brain anymore, for the day. i was walking around like a brainless zombie! ahhaha...

i still managed to fetch my hsemates to senai airport to send them off & have dinner there... which was a bad experience, because the inexperienced waiters & waitresses were useless in taking orders and typing the bill. everything was upside-down, totally messed things up. i ended up sharing my dinner with a fren because her set didn't come & we were too tired of waiting, so... me & my fren only had half a dinner each. oh, well...

we still managed to get home & rush for a movie at another place in JB, ahha... it was a whole day rushing around non-stop... luckily this time i didnt hv to drive, ahha... & luckily "the sentinel" was a nice movie, so it prevented me from falling asleep in the almost empty cinema, half way thru the show :P

all in all, it was a rather BUSY day & i came home, exhausted... ahahha

heArt|ess

no heart to do anything today...
i wokeup being a very lazy pig & lazed around in bed till... till it was time to bath & eat :P
got into the seat after brunch & stared into the notes, "alrite, ill give it a pass now"
wen online to check out some wonderful pics of "obscene" oranges (only in my filthy brains) & other pics. some wonderful pics u got there, babe!
at the same time, i was chatting wif a fren (who's suppose to sit for the same exam as i, tmrw morning) & i complained to her "aiyor, die lor.... me no heart to study liao... me only thinkin "die means die la, don care liao", how ar? teach me wat to do leh"
my fren was laughin & said "haiyor, u askin a person who also has no heart to study to teach u ar? u teach me la"
so i was tinking "haha... we both useless, heartless people who don feel lik studyin, sama sama die tmrw"
well, actually, NO. its only me who is gona die, coz my fren is a damn smart student, no need to study also will pass wif flying colors wan. so DARN, *stomp feet* i do NEED to study... but then ere i am BLOGGING... gosh... useless me...

vOice tO my eArs

it's been many months ago since i started listening to this website.... http://www.netcast-platform.org/media.html
it's somethin like an online radio, only thing it is pre-recorded la, not like "live" radio transmissions... ahaks...
but anyway, i particularly like 姊妹同志口水房
their discussions are rather interesting, funny & informative at times...
well, if ur bored & hv nothing to do, u can go surf up there & treat ur ears to some good topics & feast urself wif some laughter...
well, i hvta state it here that it's a hong kong gay radio website (obviously la rite).... so well, dont say i hv not warned u... ;P

recently there's a topic on long term relationships (long TERM ar, not long DISTANCE) ahha...
thn there's this couple who jz celebrated their 10th anniversary. WOW. 10 man, double digit alr!
in the show "butterfly", she said a PLU relationship should b counted in "dog years"...
alrite, for anyone who doesnt know how "dog years" are counted...

1 "dog year" = 7 "human years"
meaning:
if ur dog is 2 years old, means its like 2 * 7 = 14 years old if ur dog is "human"
example:
wen i bought Jack, he was only about 3 months old, when he reached his 1st birthday, he's like a "7 year old child"! so im like his "big sister" la... since i was 15 yrs old then... ahhaha
he will b turning 8 tis november, so by then he will be a "56 year old ah pak" alr & im only 23 tis yr... so he is kinda like old enuf to be my "father"... ahhahha.... *piaks*
so, ya get the drift?

rite, so get back to the 10th anniversary part...
ya, i was so touched, im so happy for them... i mean, 10 whole years... so damn cool u know... it takes LOTS of effort in keepin such a relationship THAT long! i salute them, seriously... i envy them... there's no such thing as marriage in our community, but yet, they can be together for 10 years & COUNTING...
*tears of joy rolling down my cheeks*

the best is yet tO cOme

At 17

nice simple song... listening to it now, so was tinking well, i can jz post the lyrics ere... ahha... well, i cant read it doesnt mean others cant read it rite? ahhaha... oh well, there ya go...

歌手:At 17 | 作曲:林一峰
填詞:林一峰 | 編曲:李端嫻@人山人海

永遠有一個吻未嘗 有些燭光未燃亮
若愛太苦要落糖 結它斷線亦無恙
To hug someone to kiss someone
The best is yet to come
若要錯失永不能守 得到也不代表長久
假使快樂有盡頭 痛苦也未會不朽
寂寞半點假如不能承受 這生命注定過得不易
笑與淚 亦有時候
To hug someone to kiss someone
The best is yet to come
若你說不再聽情歌 不想再經歷這漩渦
假使抱住你拳頭 到底也沒法牽手
就是為了追求一時平靜 將感情隔離半點感動都扼殺
沒法承受 永遠有不妥協傷口 有些憾事不放手
若你太刻意淡忘 越會補不到缺口
Why don't you just hug soneone just kiss someone
The best is yet to come
最好的尚未來臨

Ain't cO|Orfu| nO mOre



sometimes i do feel that.... it aint tat colorful anymore...
where's the zest? where's the rainbow? where's the color?
or maybe im jz too busy to "see" them?
or has it evolved into plain black n white?
boring?
but then... sometimes its the black n white that catches my eye...
it's "old school", its real, its art, it's life...
life is boring, unless u take the trouble to grab a paintbrush & start stroking multiple colors to ur life...
to me, colors has its beauty... black n white has its security...
it only depends on the art piece itself, whether its suitable being colorful or plain black n white or slightly grey-ish...

get tOgether

specially wana dedicated tis to my group of frens:

heya girls - lee ming, wei ling, may yan & angie

lee ming, we hv known each other since 1st year... well, i kinda regretted that i didnt continue playing wif u all after first year, but my main stand was to be dedicated if i do represent the uni, so if i knew i couldnt give my all for training and the tournaments, i'd rather not go there for the sake of going there. it would hv wasted everyone's time. if im playing, im out to win, not jz b part of it. so, since i was stil getting used to uni life in the 1st year & couldnt fork out so much time for training, i opt out from it. im sorry... i jz kinda disappeared & well, wifout informing anyone of u. my fault, sorry k. if i ever knew that from then onwards, u all had ur own team & "trained" by urselves, i would hv joined. realy. well, it would hv been fun. im missing those playing days...

wei ling, yo cheerful girl! ahaha... ya, u smile all the time & its fun being wif u! seriously, ur one happy girl (exterior la... i wouldnt know for sure how u tink inside, u c) but then... being happy can influence pple around u & im always laughing around u! cool! & we seriously had a great time at ABC! remember, we actually TORE DOWN & STOLE the poster of taufik from the street lamp! gosh! *piaks*

may yan, ya, ur one cool girl... wif the cool cold look... ahhaha.... like the "im good at wat im doing, so dun mess around wif me" look... ahahha... but actually, ur one really nice girl... ahaks... & its funny that both of us actually slept in the same dorm during MSSM in sarawak & both of us couldnt recognise each other. NS state player, & ur good, seriously. i really still cannot get a grip on how we could not hv known each other... i mean, ur practically playing ur whole life, as well as me... ahhha... but of course i hv been semi-retired since i was 15, so well, guess it's me who is missing in action hah... ahhaha... & u were playing in sukan wanita while i was there watching & i didnt know u were there... i seriously should smack myself in the head... ahaha.... anyways, its still not too late to get to know u now... damn miss being in court wif u!!!! we realy should go get a court to play! ahaksss.....

angie angie... ahha... sweet nice girl... realy only started to know u since ABC & yes, thks for the pics u sent me!!!!!!!!! & thks for accompanying me for dinner as well! ahahhha... we should do it more often :P ahah....


all in all... thks girls... being wif u all, is care-free... ahha... like a bunch of "sor-pors" hanging out & tats cool... ahahhhahhahhaha.... oh well, i do hope we all will keep in touch, well, atleast keep the common interest in all of us - BADMINTON... if ever any of u comes to KL, study ere or work ere, do contact me k... let's make a team & keep playing aight...ahhaha...

thick skinned

yes, i admit, i am thick skinned.... well, not willingly, but forced to.

hah, was enjoying my dim sum tis morning, wen dad called... i tot good news... manatau he called to tell me to call the clinic... make me no mood, me enjoying those oily, fatty dim sum, there he was, asking me to call the clinic, hah...

thn while i was driving back, mom called pulak... also telling me about calling the clinic & asking them whether im fit enough or not... i was like "ok, ok, i will call wen i reach home..."

so, few mins ago, i took up the courage & be thick skinned to call... u know how nervous it feels to wana know how ur medical report results are? i mean, wat if they tell u, "hey, ms. lee, ur report came out & we found out that u have a serious condition, u have this disease, tat disease..." die la like tat...

dup... dup... dup... (sound of my hearting pounding against my chest, ok, it mite not sound exactly like tat, but wat the hell? im trying to make some sound effect la k)

ring ring...

the lady nurse picked up the call... so i was telling her im who & who, had my pre-employment med check last wednesday, since it has been more than 1 week, im rather curious to know my medical report... whether im fit or not to work there... bla bla bla...

then she said hold on, i check ur file 1st...

dup... dup... dup...

over the line: hello, yea, we sent ur medical report over to slb alr.

i was like "thn is my medical report ok? am i fit to work on platform?"

"oh, since we didnt call u, means everythin is normal, so we directly sent ur report to slb, so u should be fit enough"

thank u thank u thank u....

thank god...

well, apart from desperately wanting the job, i was seriously worried about my health. i mean, come on, i hvnt had a full body medical checkup before in my life, how d hell should i know whether i am as healthy as i seem to be or not? i mite have some "no-symptoms" disease or something which i might not feel or know of...

so, realy, its a breath of relieve to know that everything in my body is functioning normally...

all i hvta do now is wait for arrangements...

donworry mar, heng, etc.... wen i do receive a confirmation from slb, i will own up to wat i hv promised... haha....

butterf|y



Review by kozo:

The Hong Kong indie scene gets a lift with Butterfly, a well-meaning, well-made, but probably a bit too ambitious independent drama. Josie Ho is Flavia, a seemingly happily-married teacher with a baby daughter and no apparent issues. But that's just on the surface. In actuality, Flavia is a closeted lesbian, and has been since who knows when. Now turning thirty, Flavia has her inner desires reignited when she meets Yip (Tian Yuan), a singer who immediately catches her eye, and perhaps her heart. The two form an immediate bond, and Flavia seemingly yearns to stray from her husband Ming (Eric Kot), but somehow she can't fulfill her own desires. This isn't surprising, since Flavia is trapped - not just within the usual societal mores of sexuality, but also within confines of propriety, commitment, responsibility, and that pesky thing known as history.
Back in the late eighties, Flavia (played as a young girl by Isabel Chan) was involved in a relationship with close friend Jin (Joman Chiang), a human rights activist, and the time the girls spent together was one of unbridled affection and carefree existence. Except, there is no such thing as carefree existence. Outside pressures (family, jealousy, etc.) got in the way of a happily-ever-after for Flavia and Jin, and in the present, Jin has become a nun, while Flavia went on to her loveless marriage to Ming. Now that Yip has entered Flavia's life, a sea change could be in the works. After all these years, it's time for Flavia to confront who she is, and who she wants to be. Like the titular butterfly, Flavia's years of "normal life" are a gestation period, and only with Yip's arrival can Flavia finally break free from her cocoon and spread her wings. But not without breaking a few eggs.

Metaphors aside, Butterfly is a remarkably complex portrait of a single woman, and she's portrayed powerfully by Josie Ho, one of Hong Kong's most gutsy and underappreciated actresses. There's plenty to like in director Yan Yan Mak's independent drama. Aside from the artful style, handheld camerawork, and affecting intimacy, Butterfly posits a portrait of a woman that represents the closeted person within all of us. Flavia's journey is one which asks her to finally take the steps necessary to be true to herself - even if it means challenging society, expectations, or those she loves to get it done. There's a wonderful and completely worthy message in Butterfly, and it's not hidden at all. Rather, it's pushed upon us with an obviousness that's both necessary - by it's very subject matter, Butterfly is obviously about this theme - and a little unfortunate. Because, in being so much about one woman, the connection to the rest of us gets a little lost.
Butterfly is predominantly an internal drama, in that everything is meant to speak to the changes and turmoil happening within Flavia. Josie Ho is remarkable in that she's given precious few speeches to convey her feelings. Instead, it's actions, emotions, and plenty of relevant flashback that's meant to reveal what's going on within her confused, troubled soul. The revelations in the flashbacks are necessary, but a little long-winded. Essentially, we see through the numerous grainy interludes that Flavia and Jin were torn apart by exterior forces, while together they shared a love and intimacy that transcended all. The problem: these scenes are numerous, but the extended time spent there doesn't really reveal that much. Director Mak revisits these scenes time and time again for new snippets of info or revealing dialogue, but the constant timeshifting seems to extend the film more than reveal anything more.
Furthermore, characters in the present are given only truncated life. Eric Kot turns in a surprisingly intense performance as the inherently likable, but still somewhat shrill Ming, who ends up as Collateral Damage Victim #1 in Flavia's quest for personal independence. Eventually, her decisions impact him greatly, and the actor does what he can with his brief scenes. However, it's not enough, and we can only gleam what's happening with him through our own minor deduction. Tian Yuan turns in a magnetic, startlingly charismatic performance as Yip, but her character seems to be more of an enabler for Flavia than a living, breathing human being. Yip is the film's catalyst, but she doesn't seem to be much more than that.

On the other hand, there are numerous scenes which probably could have been trimmed, or even cut. Extended sequences detail Flavia's relationships with her family, particularly her wayward dad (Kenneth Tsang), and her emotionally-troubled mom (Redbean Lau). Her family's hidden, yet still-bubbling turmoil plays a large part in her current issues, and we get that early on. However, thanks to numerous other flashbacks and a few minor scenes, we get more Flavia and family than is probably necessary. This is in addition to the "everyday" shots, e.g. Flavia tending to her child, working, attending family functions, pensively contemplating the world outside her window, etc., etc. All these sequences are appropriate and, thanks to Josie Ho, exceptionally felt, but there are simply far too many of them.
Hong Kong's famed auteur Wong Kar-Wai is famous for shooting miles and miles of film, but few of his movies (2046 being the one major exception) clocks in at over ninety-five minutes. The reason is economy: Wong sifts through tons and tons of dailies to find the story he wants to tell, and tells it. Yan Yan Mak tells a story in Butterfly, but she doesn't economize, leading to a film that's probably longer than it needs to be (Butterfly has a running time of 124 minutes). Butterfly is essentially about Flavia and Flavia only, and too much of that is not necessarily a good thing. Flavia's story is meant to represent us all (at least, that's what the DVD cover copy says), but that's lost beneath the copious Flavia-centric content.

Still, Butterfly is intriguing, worthy stuff that should be seen by anyone who wants more out of Hong Kong Cinema than the latest Twins laffer. It features real-feeling situations, fine acting, and a complexity of emotion and situation that's remarkable. If the above gripes are saying anything it's that Butterfly is perhaps too ambitious; it attempts a universal portrait of Hong Kong people through a laser-tight focus on one woman, and spends so much time there that it becomes a bit too much. That's unfortunate, because Butterfly is revealing, risk-taking, and rewarding. Hopefully Yan Yan Mak will have many more opportunities to tell her stories, because even if Butterfly doesn't exactly soar, it shows that in time Yan Yan Mak may have the means to fly.

146 hOurs tO gO....

And cOunting....

right.... never really felt so... hmmm.... how should i say it? errr... wats d word?

not used to it? empty? i dont know...

well, yes... its only been 22 hrs.... but yet... it felt like... so goddamn long... ages ago pal! ahahha

how am i gona last 146 hours more? ahahha....

i should probably be drowning myself in the books & thesis... ahhaha....

damn, econs sucks, acoustic sucks, industrial control sucks, thesis sucks... ahha

shit, damn, now i feel like im complaining all the time! complaining all the time is something i terribly hate, so i beta shut my mouth up so i wont hate myself... ahahhahhaha

& DO NOT ask me wat im crapping about ere... coz i mite jz be talkin about eveything under the sun... so, no point askin, clear?

doesnt realy matter to those pple who dont matter.... so dont bother bothering me bout something which doesnt bother u....

rOAd side terrOr

i was enjoying my bfaz at Mcd's taman U tis morning... serene, peacefuly monday morning....

was taking out my econs book to study & to start day-dreaming... ahhaha

suddenly, i looked up, looked across the road (i was sitting at the place which looks over the main road across bersatu jaya)... i realised that there was a motor driving very very very fast, zooming away from the corner of the road (outside SDS cafe), the pillion rider was lookin back but was holding somethin in his hands, thn they sped off... i saw another car behind them, speedin off as well, im not sure whether the car was chasing the motor or jz so happen that everyone on the road today likes to b a speed devil...

but.... something was not right... i mean, y would the pillion rider b holding somethin like a handbag in his hands? handbags are for ladies! so, obviously, he was the snatch thief! then i saw this girl outside SDS cafe complaining & lookin very scared, angry, confused, blank, all at the same time, so its confirmed. yes, her handbag was snatched by the pillion rider on the motor which sped off. & it happened in broad daylight, at around 10.45am...

what kind of place is malaysia anyway? there's no where safe at all, no time safe at all, i wonder why malaysia has to be such a place where criminals roam about everywhere, at any time of the day, every corner of the street, looking for opportunities & eyeing for victims....

these idiots are realy lazy pigs who r too lazy to move their asses to work everyday & earn some decent income... they opt to roam about on their motor & snatch innocent pple's handbags & other pple's hard-earned money... they should all jz die & make this world a better place...

mix . b|end . gOne .

hahaha... last nite was one nite wasted... all my own fault la...

pple go hv dinner, i pergi minum beer... 3 full glasses... damn syok, damn happy... ahhaha

bukak itu sheridan's minum.... wah, it tastes so nice....

drink . drink . drink .

by the time i finished watchin d movie, dah mula nak K.O.

conclusion, beer + sheridan's = slow K.O. effect

mixing different types of alcohol is not good.... but i managed to stay sober, was jz giddy in the head...

anyway...

i managed to get my ass to d bed & slept well... ahhahhah

so, ere i am, fully awake the next morning, need to get my nose in the books! econ, ere i come!
yo yo yo!

"terpulanglah pada panel, kalo panel nak kamu extend, thn kena bincanglah, saya pon takleh buat ape"

wtf.

how come ur not supportive at all?

i dont blame u bcoz u cant help me in a single thing.
i dont blame u for not knowing a damn thing about any electronic components.
i dont blame u for not knowing how to read a datasheet.
i dont blame u for not knowing how to use a oscilloscope.
i dont blame u for not hvg the knowledge on wat i am doing.
i dont blame u for not knowing anything at all.

but NO.
nothing like that.
only thing u said was "if they want u to extend, i cant do anything"

wtf.

nOtOriOus gAng busted

KUALA LUMPUR: The reign of one of the most notorious gangs in the city ended yesterday when police arrested four gang members after a high-speed car chase through the city and an hour’s stand-off when they took two women hostage in a house in Jalan Ampang.

The crack Special Action Squad burst into the house and rescued the two women and arrested three of the gang members.

One of the suspects had earlier been detained after he was shot while trying to make a get-away.

City CID chief SAC (II) Datuk Karn Kam Peng said his officers who were on rounds spotted four men fitting the description of the wanted men along Jalan Tun Razak at about 3pm.









REIGN OVER: One of the four gang members being led away after a high-speed car chase. The gang, said to be responsible for a spate of armed robberies, was cornered at a used car dealer’s outlet in Jalan Ampang.

He said that when his men approached the suspects, they sped off, resulting in a car chase.

An integrated police team comprising the Police Air Wing, Mobile Patrol Vehicles, Serious Crimes division, intelligence unit, and the dog unit swung into action and cornered the suspects at a used car outlet in Jalan Ampang.

The gang was believed to have committed several armed robberies at used car dealers, 4-digit outlets and shoplots all over the Klang Valley.

“The suspects tried to speed off but were caught in a traffic jam in Jalan Damai off Jalan Ampang. Our men were kept informed of their movements by our Rakan Cop members,” he said.

“The suspects drove their car into a used car outlet to hide.

“When our team arrived, they abandoned their car and fled on foot and even ignored a warning shot fired by a policeman.”

When one of them tried to scale a wall to escape, one of the policemen opened fire, hitting him in the leg.

The others fled into a nearby house. They held two of the women in the house hostage as the police team surrounded the place.

After about an hour’s stand-off, the crack team stromed the house and overpowered the three.

SAC Karn said police believe they were responsible for robbing a couple of cash and valuables worth more than RM200,000 two days ago.

In a follow-up operation, he said, police seized two cars and several watches believed to belong to the gang's victims.The cars will be sent to the forensic laboratory to ascertain if they were stolen.

i personally tink it might be the gang who robbed my dad & uncle.... hope they r put away in jail for the rest of their lives....

everythin ere is lousy...

1st up, BIG issue, SEC students CANNOT grad bcoz of a mistake done by the office...
they took a whole semester to realise their mistake? how stupid can tat b?
& now, its causing the students to be unable to grad... even if they succeed in fighting to grad, they can not register wif BEM... how stupid can tat be? & its not even the students' fault... some pple realy hv no brains u knw... somemore wana act like some BIG SHOT in the office, scold students here & there, tak tentu pasal.... dah la takde otak, nak berlagak pulak... its called BODOH SOMBONG, OTAK UDANG! seriously no future wan these pple, memang patut drive a farkin louya motor their whole life... farking assholes...really cannot tahan tis kinda khinzir...

2nd issue... stupid stor... i tell u ar, yesterday wen there, he didnt let me take components, FINE.
today, stor supposed to open till 4pm everyday... i went at 3.50pm... it was farking CLOSED. wat is wrong wif these pple? tis pple got brains anot wan ha? tis farkin week is the most crucial week, thn he buat pasal wif us... dun wana let us take components la, close the farkin stor b4 the designated time la... they seriously wan the students to die isit? farkin no brainers... wats wrong wif pple ere har? man, im bursting my brains out... ISO kononnya... BALIK LA! cilakak betui! sebarang standard pon takder... cis! menyampah betui!

breAkfAst...

tea & chipsmore...

well, the fact is i cant get out of my hse till pos laju comes... so i hv no choice but to eat "in"...
i only hv chipsmore, so well, jz munched on a few, too sweet... so cant take much...

im jz prepared to be shot at, by the panel which includes our very famous killer - Tuan Haji Shaharum
haih... wat terrible luck... need to wear baju kalis peluru alr...
wen my supervisor asked who's my panel
i said "Dr. Shahrum Shah & Tn. Hj. Shaharum"
she looked at me & smiled (giving me a sense that she is saying "u r confirmed dead")
she said "memang, Tn. Hj. Shaharum tu killer skit ar..."
i was thinkin "skit? die memang popular tuk bagi student mati punya la... aper skit... cis"

y does the lecturers have to give students a hard time? i mean, come on la, we r only doing degree courses, not masters, or Ph.Ds or whatever it is after that...

cOmpOnent wOes

pple at fke are seriously wasting my time...

wen to c my supervisor after class, wana ask her opinion about op-amps, how to look at the data sheet, wat's sinking, wat's sourcing, how to look at the voltage gain, etc...
she said "errr.... im not sure la, i dont realy knw..."

suen...

thn i asked whether i can use LM741 op-amp to replace my LMC 6482 bcoz LM741 is the more common op-amp tat students use...
she said "ok la... go try..."

so i went to cytron to ask, they dont hv stock... they nvr seem to hv anything i want... i dont know y... LM741 is supposed to be the most common op-amp & yet, they dont hv tat...

so i had to rush home to print out the borang_komponen form so tat my supervisor can sign & i can take the LM741 from FKE stor...
i was rushing like mad... driving into campus again... well, luckily my supervisor was around & she signed it very willingly... so, i tot well, gona get this component & test it today la... well, my main aim is to test it at home tonite, tats y i was rushing up the form, rushing into campus again, blah blah blah...

so i walked down to FKE stor... knock knock...

entered.

the technician was sitting there... this guy is NOT good...
so i told him i wana take components...
he said i have to wait till tmrw... padahal im only takin 2 LM741... two only, hvta wait till tmrw??? wasting my time...
thn he asked me la y wana take tis component.
i said wana test circuit la, circuit not workin, so im troubleshooting...
thn he asked whether i took it before... i said NO
previously i was using LMC6482 (i bought from farnell, cost me more thn 10 bucks a piece leh)
he macam tak percaya... coz i said LMC6482 stor dun hv ma... cis... tats y i bought la, many times thim...

so he started complaining that he had to check because they r students who took components more thn 6 times... took same components somemore... so he had to check...
well, i can understand that, but its not ur money also wat, its UTM's money & the students are taking the components for their PSM only ma... if their circuit works, they wouldnt b taking so many components, so many times, would they???

he once said "as long as ur supervisor signs, i will give u the components"
so wat has happened now??? he is eating his own words... & damn wasting my time... now i hvta wait, & i cant do anything today & my freaking demo is nxt monday...
wen everybody is being tensed & rushing their circuits, he tells us to wait till he checks all our records... wasting time man...

they r super itchy backside wif nothing to do except menyusahkan students only...

sOur grApes

rite... some pple jz cannot stand NOT being the best... i cannot understand why... why do they have to be like that? life is life... humans are competing with themselves... but no, these kind of pple only wans to compete wif other pple... whether they fare well or not, as long as they r better thn pple, they r happy. if they did well, but lose out to others, also they r damn unhappy & its all written over their faces... im not blind... i got eyes to c.

they want to be perfect. come on, name me some perfect humans... go on... name it to me... is there any? NONE...

nobody is perfect. so come on, get a grip man... make sure ur feet stays on the ground... be rational, wake up...

medicA| feArs...

i hvnt been for a full medical checkup since i entered uni, 5 yrs ago... i dont exactly know how my body is now....
& it seems that the medical checkup for slb is realy realy realy stringent... they check everything from blood, to urine to stools... so, basically i tink they check every single part of ur body...
now im scared... not tat i hv terminal illness or anything... but who knows rite? my body might hv some "errors" in it... i might jz NOT pass my medical examination... then i wont get the job offer *thinking of it makes me wana cry*
so, from today onwards (till the medical examination day), i pledge & vow:

NO alcoholic drinks (means no beer, no malibu, no coffee liqueur, no vodka *crying*)
NO ciggies (means no marlboro menthol light *sobbing*)
NO cigars
NO too oily food (means no fried chicken, etc... can deal wif it)
NO too sweet food (no chocolate, no sweets, can deal wif it)

so, i thought, oh maybe they sold some hot car or untung very much or police caught the robbers or somethin to do wif the new hse.... well, of course, deep in my heart i was hoping it has something to do wif the job offer... but thn, i dare not put any hopes on it u c, because they nvr email me or call me or anything... well, since i was awake, i called them instantly... good news are meant to be shared & be gila about!

ring... ring... ring...

mom picked up the phone & from her voice, she sounded like she kena lottery or something... ahhaha
so she said "DHL came by tis morning, we received a package from slb & in it was an offer letter wif lots of other documents"
i was like "what? wow! cool!"
....

me "wat position did they offer me?"
mom "trainee engineer"
me "under which dept?"
mom "drilling & measurement"
me "great!"

thn i asked "how's the pay like?"
dad came to the phone & said "y not u guess?"
me "how to guess? errr... rm 3500?"
dad "wrong... guess another time"
me "err... higher or lower la... give some hints"
dad "higher"
me "alrite... errr... rm 3800?"
dad "nope... higher, last chance to guess ar."
me "oh... ok...errr... rm 4000?"
dad "no..."
me "huh? still no?"
dad " its five zero eight zero"
me : jaw dropped.... speechless...

sheridAn's cOffee |Ayered |iqueur


personally, i hvnt tried it before.... so, i will let the experts do the talking... ahahha

~~~~~~PRODUCT PACKAGING~~~~~~

Hmm? Odd one this, Sheridan’s comes in a double barrelled 500ml glass bottle, what I mean by double barrelled is that the bottle is really two bottles glued side by side next to each other. On the left hand side is a slim half bottle and on the right hand side is a rather plump half that sort of resembles somebody’s fat arse. In the slim half is some white milky liquid and on the right side is some deep brown (Tar looking) liquid.

These two bottles are then supported by a band style black and white label with Sheridan’s original written across it. The same label but this time oval shaped is stuck on the front of the fused bottles.
The cap is a large black plastic umbrella shape with a round twist off lid on the front of it.
Once you remove this you are greeted by two large holes that look like some kind of cannon staring you right in the mush just waiting to blast your nostrils off. Oh, it does tell you on the bottle that this is a coffee layered liqueur and it is a whopping 18.5% in the alcohol content.

~~~~~~WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THIS WEIRD BOTTLE?~~~~~~

Well, you are supposed to tilt your glass when you pour the drink and from one side of the now pouring bottle, you have some brown stuff oozing out and right next to it there is some weird milky looking stuff hitting your glass as well. Once your glass is full, you are then supposed to leave your drink to settle and you are left with something that resembles a well poured measure of Guinness, dark brown at the bottom of your glass with a creamy white head. And seeing as this is an Irish drink, it kind of figures that it would resemble Guinness, you tell me an Irishman who doesn’t like Guinness?

~~~~~~WHAT DOES IT TASTE AND SMELL LIKE?~~~~~~

<>

Ahhh! Try to imagine if you will, the deepest smell of rich coffee that you can, add to that a sweet creamy smell arising from the white head at the top of the glass and your eyes are left rolling with delight.
Right I am now convinced that this stuff is safe to drink, so down the hatch goes half of the glass and

<>

Jesus bloody Christ! Next time I sample an alcoholic drink I have never tried before, I think I’ll drink it a tad more sparingly.
Ahem! Okay, it does taste like coffee, very, very, strong coffee at that, imagine your morning cup of Nescafe with the kick of ten cans of Red Bull. Yes it really does make your eyes water but in a pleasant kind of way. The cream on the top as far as I could tell was exactly that, cream, there doesn’t seem to be any alcohol in it whatsoever.
As you get further down the glass though you do start to realise that the dark brown coffee liquid is heavily laced with plenty of alcohol. This is why my eyes bulged and by lungs nearly fell out when I gazumped a gob full of the stuff George Best would have been proud of.

After scouring the back of the label though, I was shocked to find the ‘described’ vanilla cream liqueur contains 17% alcohol and the brown stuff is actually described as coffee chocolate liqueur and is 19.4% alcohol 18.5% overall. I had no idea there was anything to do with chocolate in the drink whatsoever, any flavour is simply drowned out by the strong coffee taste.

Anyway, the whole taste experience resembles a cold cup of expensive sweet cream coffee mixed with a drab of best whiskey. If you are into that sort of thing (and I am) then it is absolutely lovely stuff, but if you simply don’t like coffee in general then you definitely won’t like it.

~~~~~~MY FINAL THOUGHTS~~~~~~

Overall I was quite pleased with my Sheridan’s experience, my other half didn’t like it much but I thought it was lovely jubbly. It is definitely a strong alcoholic drink and weighing in at 18.5% who could argue?
I do have to say though that I prefer Tia Lusso anyday, as Sherridan’s does tend to leave behind a pretty bitter aftertaste, which is really the drinks only downfall. It does go quite nicely with a meat packed meal as well, drool!

Whoever dreamed up this dodgy bottle design though needs some psychiatric help, it is definitely the most surreal looking thing I have seen in quite a while. Maybe the designer is related to Piccaso, an interesting thought I suppose.
I’d have to recommend this stuff to all coffee lovers out there but if you do prefer something similar but a little on the milder side, then Tia Lusso is a better option.

Thanks for the read.

DEANO!

cAribbeAn white rum wif cOcOnut


mA|ibu

yes... its the white bottle... hv been wanting to buy it for yrs!!!! cari cari cari kat duty free, tak pernah ader... until tat faithful day... there it was, sitting on the shelve, wifout a single thought, i reached out my hand to grasp a bottle of malibu! yes! finally, i found u... at duty free... ahhaha...

anybody has other suggestions??? do share wif me pls... ahaksss.... thks babes!

nAtsir ru|es!!!!

yes, lilyana natsir rules big time! love her siut...she is so cool & she is the champ of the day! well, for mixed doubles, that is! it was one if the nicest match today, coz it was neck to neck match against d thai pair (saralee & d guy... rite, i can nvr remember his name)
lilyana natsir

lilyana natsir & nova widianto

saralee & p. sudhet

nxt on the list is ladies' singles, wang chen vs. kaori mori. the japanese girl can realy run man! & she has skill... that's one thing local single girl players dont have - skill. another wonderful match! wang chen won because she is indeed, good & experienced!

wang chen

kaori mori

follow suit was men's singles... the whole stadium was roaring for chong wei! who went up against boonsak polsana! & boy, this thai guy is so handsome & tall! perfect candidate for girls out there! they r probably all drooling over him! ahahha.... well, of course chong wei won! the whole stadium was up on their feet cheering "malaysia boleh"!

lee chong wei

boonsak polsana

ladies' doubles was kinda dissapointing... china against chinese taipei... despite the fact that the 2 chinese players, yu yang & du jing were very yau yeng, coz they look butch, wif short-cropped hair, other thn that, the match was rather boring because the chinese taipei players were no match for the chinese...

yu yang & du jing

last but not least, men's doubles.... was quite interesting in the beginning, everyone was cheering for the underdogs... & the "juniors" won the 1st match... leaving "sor fook" & wan wah scratching their heads... but they probably got their composure & shifted into 5th gear & when straight ahead to win the 2nd match & rubber set! experience counts in times like this... so experience is what "sor fook" & wan wah has which the junior pair is lacking... but oh well, well played anyway....

choong tan fook & lee wan wah

hoon thien how & tan boon heong

well, my biggest catch of the day isnt the fact tat i was able to watch all the matches live... its bcoz i met 2 of my long lost frens - beng hong & fhara... academy pals... ahhha... long story! so oh well, got their numbers & hopefully will keep in touch wif them! ahahha
