Photos entry #3

Desmond: Want eat at home 1st before going or go out and eat?
Me: You ask me, of course I say go out and eat lah. I lazy cook lah.
Both: *Laughs*

So, Ron, Desmond, Akmal and me went for lunch and 'jalan-jalan'.

Lunch was at "The Goose". They even had a golden coloured goose hanging outside the window.


This was my lunch. Yum yum. Stewed lamb. *miss* I eat lamb so often at home and now, I don't even get it once a month. So kenyang after lunch. Oh ya btw, I weighed myself on the weighing scale and I found out that I neither lost weight nor gained weight. Which is actually good and I'm happy about it.


I don't know why it makes me look so much like a bunny. I'm not ok? Trying to act cute but tak jadi. (I know I'm not cute and I'll never be cute)


Bridge at River Clyde. We were sort of paranoid being there. Specifically, Akmal buz it was at that place where he and some other friends got attacked by drunk people. Advice: Do not go near young guys and girls who appear to be rowdy.

Photos entry #2

Pollok House, a mansion slightly away from the city centre. Got up early in the morning and took a train from the Central Station. We didn't manage to take the 10.40am train as planned. A group of girls can never be punctual hahaah. It was such a long walk from the train station to the house and the way out seems even longer as we were already tired.

Rinoa : Ching yee, you drunk d ar?
Me: Yealor, drunk from tiredness and fatigue.


Those are highland cattles. Alot of them in Scotland. Banyak bulu and tebal-tebal one ar.




In front of Pollok House.




At the super huge gardens in the house compound. Bluek Rinoa why you stick your tongue out at me.


Weather so hot until I thought I'm gonna get a tan. Which is good bcuz I can see a V-shaped tan when I wore that boob-tube kinda top. And we all thought it might be cold, so we brought our sweaters along. Mana tau it's the hottest day ever since I got here.

Star girls

Say cheesezzz



Do, re, mi... where's 'fa'??? The photographer esther lorrr.

And of course, no trip would be complete without a picture of our reflection on the ladies' mirror. Rinoa, esther, jessycca, moi.

Photos entry #1

Haven't been posting much on where I have been lately. Well, 1st was Kelvingrove museum+Hunterian museum+ University of Glasgow. One post for one trip ya people. This time I did not walk there. Yes, I did once... Took me more than an hour. I'm getting lazy lately. Bum bum lazy, legs lazy.

University of Glasgow. *Think Harry Potter* *Think castle*


The huge organ at the hall of the Kelvingrove Museum. We managed to listen to about 5 minutes of play-time.


Moi...


Expressions. Angry, sad, frown, etc. You can see all of them here.

Moi again.


Moi love taking photos!

I chased after the car to take this shot. PROTON WIRA. Patriotic right?? Happy 50th Independence Day Malaysia...

Another shot of the uni from a hill. Pictures below are from the University of Glasgow. See how beautiful is the uni.


Me hearts flowers.


Moi taking a stroll in the uni. How I wish I'm studying here instead of Strathclyde. Everyday waking up to a Harry Potter surrounding.

Lets play hide and seek hehe.

Untitled

Happily away I wanted to announce to my family that my exams are FINALLY over (after such a long time of seemingly-endless exams), I heard a shocking news. Maybe I shouldn't have called home, then I wouldn't know about it?

Life.

Don't you think life seem short? When I was younger, I was blessed with a perfect environment where I don't see death. That stayed until about 2-3 years ago. I remembered my legs turned weak that I almost dropped onto the ground. Knowing that the person you've seen since you're born would not be there any longer. Not only knowing, you also need to accept it. Only memories stay in your mind. The only images you have now are photos of that person.

More than 2 yrs have passed, in fact, it's going to be 3 yrs, but it felt like it was just yesterday that I met you. Of course I couldn't rmber the times when you lifted me up when I was still a baby, but I can imagine that. I knew you loved me, a lot, giving me what I wanted even though my parents spanked me for being so demanding as a kid.

I never shed a tear in front of people, that's not bcuz I'm emotionless. I know you would know how I feel inside.

Now, another relative of mine left. I guess what disturbs me more now is the people around. I can imagine tears and wails. I hope they will be emotionally strong. Most importantly, I hope my grandfather will be able to accept it calmly. I'm helpless here bcuz I'm so far away. During moments like this, I hope I'm at home.

I pray and wish that you, my granduncle would be attain nibbana and therefore be free from samsara. May you rest in peace.

I own a Lumix

Wohooo... Thanks mummy for getting me a new camera.

This is how my new baby looks like... A DMC TZ2.

Isn't she cool in black?? I don't know why I'm calling it a 'she' but it will have the same gender as me! hhaah. With a 10x optical zoom, I can now take shots which are far away. My mum said it's kinda bigger than those that I want, but it should be fine I guess. She actually chose the black one so I will kena 'tipu' that it is not that big after all. (Black makes you look sleek, rmber Pendidikan Seni in high school?) Funny mummy of mine huh? Well, my handbag is not that small either. I can't wait to try out on her when 'she' flies here from Msia.

This is from the top. I can't find pics of her in black. The black is so much nicer.
And from the back.
And my mum's so nice. Knowing that her daughter loves taking pics and loves camwhoring, she even upgraded the 1G memory card to a 2G one. Haha. More reason for me to camwhore now. Talk about vanity and me. =)

Actually I still wonder if that 2G memory space is enough for my 14 days trip??

So excited, no mood to study already. Sigh. Enough of daydreaming about holidays and let me finish my exam 1st. =(

Condoms up for free!

Damn funny wei. I was browsing the Strathclyde's Student Union webby, then I spotted this.

12 Hour Tuesdays running all summer. Open from 3pm til 3am. All drinks 99p. Wah. So tempting. Today is Tuesday night sumore. But nobody to go with me. =(

Right below it, another anouncement says...


I opened it, and it says "Free condoms are available throughout the summer from Ask4 in the Students Union so pop in or stock up before you go away."

Universities student union provides free condoms. How cooler can they be right??

Now we know why it's so sucky living in Malaysia where it's super conservative.

So people, grab them while you can before summer's over. Haha.

Random post

I'm already so-called starting my holidays. Haha. It's so nice to be able to relax and do nothing. I can surf the net all I want.

This is a music video of Polina Semionova.
Song title: Demo (Letzter Tag) by Herbert Gronemeyer

Pay attention on her feet and hands and her movements. Lovely work. Such poise. She's an AMAZING ballerina! All those simple steps were made so lovely with her grace combined with the music.




This is the instrumental version without the lyrics. I somehow like this better. The music is so inspiring. It makes me feel "I'm going to try harder to be a better dancer". 1st task: Make my grand jete better.

"Golden Hair Girl" no more

Today was PP3 OTC dispensing exam. What we're supposed to do is act as real pharmacists attending to patients coming into our pharmacy. Asking the right questions to make sure he's having the right condition in mind, and dispensing the right medication is part of the exam. The whole process is recorded on a tape and will be viewed by our lecturers to be examined.

So we're now down with only the final paper, our nightmare paper, PP3.

Since it's after exam, I told myself "It's about time I dye my hair back to its original colour." I procrastinated for such a long time already although I've already bought the hair dye bcuz I felt like abit 'sayang' cuz I like the golden hair so much. So we did THIS!


Presenting Ms. Garbage Girl. I look so horrible in the stupid so-called garbage bag t-shirt. But it's the only way to protect my clothing.

Hairdresser #1 with oversized gloves.

Me meddling with the dye kit. Need to learn bcuz never actually do it on our own before. Mummy always do it for me when I'm at home.

Hairdresser #2 with the tools hahaha.

Workplace! Us being vain lol. They can open hair saloon liao lor and charge you people for it. Hmm it's something we can think about u know, since we're so broke here.

Hairdressers reunited. Showing off their assets... their hands. Come, lets zoom in further...

Dye stuck to their fingers. Oh no, I'm so sorry for that.

Scroll down to see the result!

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......!!!

Dark brown hair! Don't be fooled by the lightness of the colour due to the yellow lights in my room. It's actually almost black when you see me in real person. It's even darker than my original hair colour.

Yeah, THIS is my actual colour now. Black right???

After so many months with golden hair, I'm feeling abit not used to having dark coloured hair. Need to adjust myself to it again. It is changes which make life more interesting right?

Thanks girls for becoming my 'hairdressers' of the day. You are both so cool. Hehe.

Change Yourself Malaysia

MALAYSIA, you gotta do something about those issues sang in the rap 'Negarakuku' if you want to progress. I would say that they were in fact very precise regarding what's happening in the country, for instance, the working attitude of the government servants and the police. I've seen both with my own eyes before. Police wearing a batch with the logo saying no to 'rasuah' but on the other hand, verbally asking for bribe. He spent so much of his time talking but all his words have only one single hidden meaning "MONEY PLEASE".

Oh, and the attitude of this lady working in the Foreign Affair Ministry is just unbearable. She was so fierce on the phone to us students enquiring if our Letter of Good Conduct was ready. I could remember I was so damn annoyed I felt like shouting and cursing her if she got any worse. And she just put the phone on hold without asking me to hold on and there wasn't any 'Good morning' or whatsoever greetings from her when she picked up the phone. I should have continued saying good morning until she replied me with the same greeting, wth. And my call got passed around to so many people before finally somebody attended to me.

And yeah, can someone teach the government that they should have the habit of answering calls?? 4 out of 5 times a call would not be picked up.

Yes it is wrong of him to create a song like this. Suing him is right bcuz he and the rest need to learn a lesson NOT to do things which are inpatriotic.

Every single issue mentioned is a problem and a threat to the country. You big shot people in the government crave to put M'sia up high but certain things will bring the country's name down indefinitely. So many people are already opting to work somewhere else instead of Msia. Even myself, if I do not have such a hassle applying to be a pharmacist in the UK, I'm quite sure I wouldn't return to Msia and serve the government.

Congrats

Congratulations to all M105s who convocated today, especially my dear Alvin. I know you have been looking forward for today. I know how jealous you were during my convocation in May. I'm not gonna sleep unless I accidentally I doze off from tiredness bcuz I wanna feel as if I'm there with you. Sharing your happiness and pride at this moment.

You officially completed half your course. And the next half would be even tougher to survive. But I know you can do it, and you will go through it with courage and strength. It wouldn't be easy. Nobody said it's going to be close to easy at all.

I miss you so much and I wish I am actually there. I know how stubborn I can be at times (very, in fact), but I don't mean it bcuz I am soft inside.

I wanna see you in the robe so so badly. Stupid skype wasn't working properly. Curse skype. Curse skype like hell.

A change in my blog

Look. I have a new template! I just had to upgrade from my old template, and the editing the new layout is simple! Somebody had to make me mad, so instead of going down to the grocery store to get a drink, if u guys know what I mean by a drink, I spent my time changing my layout.

I'm quite satisfied with it. I managed to retain everything from my old blog. *Michelle, Blogger's better! hahaha...* What's lacking now is that I don't have my favourite pink colour anymore. Maybe I've decided that I'm old enough to grow out of pink. Maybe not, but I just feel I need some changes in something today.

Maybe I've decided to be more mature and not to care about things which makes me upset anymore. I'll learn to shun those thoughts away so that I would be a happier person. Maybe I choose to be ignorant. I don't know if it's good.

I'm always the 'not nice' person. You're always the nice one. Even right before I left to come miles away, I'm still the bad one. Yes you're always right and I'm always wrong. It's your convo and I'm not happy for you, right? Go and find out if I'm happy for you or not.


Emo post

Why does things have to be so sucky?

Who should be blame when things do not go well?

Blame god? Blame others? Blame myself?

Yes, blaming myself for being so silly and careless. And blame Anne Boyter too! Made so many stupid mistakes in exemption exam.

Sakit kepala and still have to worry if I'll pass PP degree exam.

I will never eat grilled bread although they are nice to be used to make sandwiches. Blame the bread for causing my sore throat.

Argh!

Half my freedom obtained

I just did my FMT 2 exams yesterday. Not too good, but fine. Pharmacy practice was today. I screw up my chance to be exempted from the final degree exams. Well, never was I at the top of the class in the first place.

As holidays come nearer, I couldn't be more than excited. London, Switzerland, Italy!!!
I can't imagine how crazy I can be at times.

On the night before FMT 2, very late at night, I didn't had the mood to study. So what I did was a list of places to travel to in Europe and I taped it on my wall. That's my target, to get to visit a total of 13 countries within a year, excluding the UK.

I can't wait to see my mum too. Can't believe I'll be seeing her in less than 3 weeks. Seeing a family member here so far away from home is great.

For now, I do not need to think of anything else besides PP. I guess it's about time for me to relax after such a stressful semester that would possibly turned me mad if I wasn't tough enough. Many almost-breakdowns during the torture I experienced the last few weeks... Thank god I get to laugh around with my housemates to de-stress and I'm lucky my bf doesn't mind paying expensive phone bills keep me sane.

Boleh masak telur

That's what we call it when we score a damn zero for an exam. I have an 'egg' now bcuz my 100 marks were deducted to 0.

5 marks for legal category, 60 marks for not writing something that I couldn't even find in the BNF, 10 marks for writing too much info on the dose (write too little, minus marks, write too much eso minus marks, wth), 5 marks for telling the patient to do the wrong thing, 15 marks for not telling the doctor to adjust the dose 1 week later.

So that's a total of 100 marks deducted from my paper.

SCREW IT. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. Take all you want from me.

I can now proudly tell myself I've got a zero. Isn't it cool?? -_-" *sarcarstic*

Motivate me to pass the next one. I DESPERATELY NEED TO.
