Happy National Day!

In about 10 minutes time, the "merdeka" celebration will come to an end. It will officially be the 1st of September. The first thing that comes to my mind, is how fast time has passed and it scares me to know that im just 3 weeks away from my dental exam. There is still so much to be done..well maybe ill leave all that whining for another post *hehe*

Coming back to the highlight of the post, its all about malaysia's 51st national day. I wasnt around for last year's 50th celebration which was a much bigger deal. The hype of this year's celebration wasnt really the same compared to last year ( i think)...i was actually in adelaide during that time. Although there was the usual Merdeka eve clubbing parties happening, i was suppose to go for one but because i was back home during the weekend, i couldnt make it. My weekends are like my family time.So when im home, i hardly go out unless its to see prakash and dhal..In that case, its different because i hardly see them as well. So weekends are the only time we get to catch up.

Anyways, since i was not at any clubs or parties, what did i do during the countdown you might ask??..i was actually at home on my laptop watching cheerleading videos on "you tube". I had my own personal countdown, as the clock on my laptop showed 12am..i knew it was the 31st.. Besides it being our national day, it just struck me that it was BASKIN"s 31st!!! *yikes*..i completely forgot about it... Then again, the weather has been really rainy and gloomy,...it isnt the perfect weather to have an ice cream...Thats how i celebrated my merdeka eve, YES i know its not your normal merdeka eve celebration and it might not be so patriotic, .but who really is alll that patriotic and really has that "malaysia boleh" spirit in reality. I think that people just use this day as an excuse to throw a bash and celebrate. Dont get me wrong,theres nothing wrong with that....

Most of my day was spent trying to study and browsing on the internet. I went shopping on saturday with my mum actually. That went pretty well. PADINI actually hiked up their sales to 70% since it was towards the end of the "sale" period. I managed to get a couple of tops i really like..i wish i could buy somemore..i really could have gone crazy *hahah*..but i had to control myself..like what someone said to me before..."i have to FOCUS".......i do however need a pair of black shoes and handbags.. The mystery about how girls always feel like they dont have enough stuff is yet to be solved!!!!!

Coming back to my merdeka day, i basicly spent my time at home. All in all, it was a quiet day.........i talked to my sis in aussie which was nice, i cant wait to see her in november!! ill be going to australia for hols..*yippie*..really looking forward to that.. Lastly, i want to wish my cousin Dr Ganesh... Happy Birthday!!!. (his a merdeka baby)..ahhaha..i doubt there are any benefits to that though...OH WELL....till my next post...

QUICKIES!

Current Emotion : upset, emotional and just really down!

Reason : its been 2 crappy days!! and just plain bad luck!

Comment : i wrote a long post and havent quite decided whether i am going to publish it. Im at a really terrible mood at this point of time. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.. because i dont think i can handle another terrible day as what ive had in the past 2 days. Besides that i said something which probably didnt sound right to some people. I apologise if you took it the wrong way but next time, it would be good if no assumptions were made. There's always this thing called CLARIFYING!... Moreover, there are a couple of things that have hit me..and the most important thing is i DO NOT want to have anything to do with a particular person..We just dont get along and we will never get along. So no matter how nice ive tried to be, its just not going to work!...that's how it works i suppose...

Conclusion : i really need to sleep..or at least try to..

XOXO..

Plain Rotten Luck

Its been a while since i've felt this down and depressed for 2 days. I know it might be hard for you to understand why i feel such and even after my explanation some might not find understand my feelings and emotions. I shall not harbour any ill-feelings to those of you who will feel that way. This is the person i am and will always be that person. So this is how my really crappy and sucky 48 hours of just pure bad luck started



I started having really bad cramps the whole day, YES it was "the" time of the month...somehow during that particular time, our hormones just goes haywire, so i was pretty moody itself. After a long (9-5pm) day of classes..i come back to my place to rest a bit, have my shower and go for the basketball match. Hardly 10 mins me being there,it starts raining...yes i had my umbrella with me..but this "particular" friend of mine decided to take it from me and insisted i do "crazy" stuff once in a while,..and by "crazy" he meant walk in the rain. SO i gave him my handphone to keep in his pocket as i didnt want my phone to get wet. He walked me back to my apartment and while walking pass the pool..i just gave him a nudge. For those of you who know me well..you would know that im not really a STRONG person!! Seriously!!! and of all freaking days, when i gave him that slight nudge..he moved..slipped and fell into the pool. For a moment, i totally forgot that he had my handphone with him. to make matters worse he had his phone, his wallet and another friend's wallet. ..I felt SOOOOOOOOOO bad!!.. i couldnt stop beating myself up for it...It something i just couldnt stop thinking about and blaming myself. How could i have forgotten about my phone? why did i even nudge him? So many things just kept running through my head..and no matter how hard i tried to remove that scene..it just kept playing and replaying in my head!!!!





Thankfully my friend Izzi was nice enough to spare me an extra phone and my sim was working....However, i had no contacts on my sim. The reason was cause all my contact numbers were saved on my phone. Ive had my phone for 2 years....you can imagine the amount of numbers i lost and i dont know how long its going to take me to get back all those number...*long sigh*...Besides that, im really attached to my phone so losing it means a lot to me..So, last night was a sleepless night for me...



Moving on to today, i still couldnt really get over the incident with my phone..The particular "friend" of mine who lost his phone,asked me to follow him to mid valley with him to get our phones fixed. Honestly i really didnt want to go..but i felt bad because i AM to be blamed for what had happened anyways... Once we got our things settled at mid valley, he had to go meet his friends for dinner, and there i was stuck at mid valley alone...with noone to call because i had NOOO contact number!!.. *long sigh again!!*....I decided to spend my time by treating myself to starbucks and buying myself a new pencilbox (something i needed)...it was purple in colour!..i did feel bit better after that!....After walking around i wanted to go back to vista and caught a cab.



The cab ride back to vista cost rm15!...i was short on Rm 1, luckily a couple of seniors i knew were outside vista, i borrowed 1 buck from them and paid the taxi driver. I got back to my apartment to realise i had left my plastic bag which contained the pencil case i bought in the cab....ARGH!!!!.. i had the worse feeling at that moment...i couldnt help but really just have a breakdown... I feel that i was extra sensitive thanks to my damn hormones. The only way i release all that frustration is by letting my "tears" run free...i cant really scream, i was angry and it was just a mixture of emotions..


One good thing was that i had friends who tried cheering me up and just telling me that things will be better. At first it is hard to take it in because your mind isnt thinking clearly, but a good warm shower and sleep really does help!!......So i decided to publish this post as a mean of letting it out, and just not thinking about it ever again. Today was a better day then yesterday and i hope that tomorrow it will be even better. ....


XOXO

I PASSED!

I cant believe i actually passed my CPR exam. Some of you might think that its like the easiest paper to pass. Well actually if you did the pass year paper it kinda is easy to pass. However, IMU has this system where they have a quota for the number of people who MUST fail so they can earn back money (not like they dont have enough) from students. Students who fail have to pay RM40 for resit. About 80 people in my batch failed..and these are like really smart people, so im guessing this whole failing thing is done at random!. I really dont see the need to fail people. Gosh IMU is crappy!! ..So for my friends who have to resit, good luck to ya'll!!,



Besides that, my day has been pretty alright. Excluding the part where im pretty pissed of with the landlord of my apartment. He expects me to do everything, run away to aus and then when i get the maintenance done, he gets angry for doing things without informing him it seems!!! *argh*..well from now on im just gonna bug his life if there's things to get done and im not going to do anything.. Does he really think im so free to get the plumber or electrician!! ..



Moving on, the latest talk in uni is about the Avril Lavigne concert... First she was banned because she was supposedly "sexy"...Common!! its avril!...which part of her anatomy is sexy!!..they should really look up the definition of sexy in the dictionary!...Second reason given was because she was too rock or punk!..i guess they're afraid she might be a bad influence on the young teenagers who would go for her concert. If so!, they should then ban MTV or Channel V!!...Some people just like to blow things out of proportion. Why cant they just look at it as a form on entertainment and leave it at that!!!.. The Third reason was because of the merdeka celebration, i guess they're scared that it might get the people distracted and their "semangat patriotism" might fade away.... The question is how many people actually feel this whole patriotism thing. With the current political happenings in our country, some might not really feel all that patriotic!.. I feel that our government should be slightly open minded. i doubt that one rock concert can change the perception of our society!......After the much heated debate and stories, the show is still ON!!...

My dental Tools!

My Super-cool dental kit!!

Tooth Carving!





Rainy Day

Its been a cold and rainy day since i woke up at 8.30 am. Im definately not complaining though. I like waking up to the cold weather, on a normal day my room gets bright at 7am thanks to the sun!!! The only thing i have to complain about is walking to uni in the rain *sigh*.. especially when i washed my hair the previous rain *darns the rain!*.. vista C is not exactly opposite IMU, its about a 3mins walk. Add to the hair part, my heels gets all soggy by the time i reach class.

Anyways, today has been so far a pretty alright day. Dental class was lots of fun. we had to do a roleplay on "tooth emergence". Its basicly about when your tooth erupts at different ages etc etc. As dental students its kinda important to know all that. So by doing this roleplay it supposedly will help us remember better. The whole play wouldnt have been possible without my classmate PAIGE!.. She did at least 90% of the work..(THANK YOU paige!).. Our lecturers were really hyped up seeing that were the first batch and stuff, they decided to record the whole play *Gosh*..according to Prof Khoo. the video might even end up on YOU TUBE! *lord have mercy*...lets see how it turns out first!.

Med class went well and at 4pm i had cheer practice. It was tiring doing all those jumps and stunts. We learnt new moves and all. No matter how exhausting it is, i still find it fun and im pretty glad Izzi actually made me join it in the first place (thanks izzi!!). Its less than a month to our competition and practice session will be increasing. I really need to find time to also sit down and study!. hopefully this weekend will be more study productive then the last. I really am looking forward to tomorrow. Dont we all just love fridays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its the weekend!!! *woohoo!!!*... Fingers cross, ill manage to slip in some shopping time in my busy weekend at home.. *hehe*

XOXO

QUICKIES!

Basicly *quickies* is a short update on my whereabouts and what has happened since i last blogged..

So, im back at my vista c apartment as its the start of a whole new week!. My day at uni was tiring as always. had classes from 9-5 and then had my much awaited CPR exam which went well "ok"..i just hope my pass, i really dont want to fail and pay RM40 for the resit...darn IMU,, it should actually stand for International Money-making University!..

My batch MEDT108 played basketball for IMU cup today and we won the match against the seniors. *woohoo!!!*.so me and quite a number of people actually went and supported..luckily i still have my "Loud" (as tallan calls it ) voice..

My older sis (priya) hasnt been feeling well the past couple of days. I really hope she's doing better.. i miss her loads *sobs* *sobs*..get well sis!!!!...Besides that sanjay thaker has gone back to langkawi. Pilot students dont really get a long break..(poor them)..so i guess it will be a couple of months before i see him next..

Well im of to bed now, ive got microbio lab thingy at 9am tomorrow morn...*sigh*..till my next post or quickie

XOXO

Past Midnight

Its been more than a week since i last blogged, although i really did want to blog at times..i just couldnt seem to find the time to do so!. Its either im too exhausted or well im TOO exhausted!. So its the weekend..well techinically not anymore since its sunday already *sobs*..the weekend just flies by so fast..dont even get me started on how the weekday's go by!.. although everyday consist of 24hours, how does the weekend feel like its less than 24 hours.??? its all a psychological thing i suppose. Anywho! my week was just so packed i could hardly find time to study...

I have all this immunology, pathology and dental lectures just piling up!! *argh*..its really freaking me out, a timetable definately doesnt work for me..and by the time i come back from classes im usually just so drained. I seriously have to get to it though. If i carry on this way, well i do not think my future (FINALS) is going to look good...Compared to SEM 1, i have to say i enjoy medical lectures more than dental lectures, Learning about the anatomy and morphology of teeth can be quite boring and just complicated. (no further explanation needed)..hehe...The medical lectures are different, i have taken a liking towards pathology..eventhough there's heaps to remember..the lecturers are amusing. Many people find them annoying,, i think they're kinda cute. no doubt they ARE weird..im not sure whats with all these patho people and being dramatic..they seem to be making jokes that only their "kind" would understand!. Nevertheless, i do not sleep during their classes and watching them is funny. So you end up having a good laugh!..

Im not really into afterschool/ uni activities. The only thing im involved in is Cheerleading!.*suprisingly*..i wanted to join netball as well, but practices are on saturdays and as you know., im back in klang during the weekend. In IMU, its the season of sports! IMU CUP seems to be the big thing happening. Its basicly an interbatch competition and there are various competitions. You will see that the students are just not book smart, most of them are actually good in other things like sports, pool, etc etc. Anyways the name of the my batch team is BANDITS....dont ask me why, it just is. we have a very weird cheer though, i really wonder who came up with it!.My friend IZZI is taking part in a whole bunch of stuff such as volleyball, futsal and cheerleading. I have no idea how she finds the time to do it but its pretty amazing..

Basicly that is what's been happening in UNI!..so im back home during the weekend and its not a relaxing weekend.I have yet to touch my books add to which i have a CPR exam on monday. I really need to make use of my sunday! GOOD BYE sunday nap time! and CSI series!*sobs*..Im also meeting dal, prax and jay for breakfast at 10.30am..and then i have to get my ink catridge for the printer. I so badly want to go shopping!! BEfore the MEGA sale ends!!!...if only i could freeze time!!!...i also have to finish up my dental carving & drawing since monday is the dateline. Ive done most of it. just need to polish up!. i know i promised pictures...but my facebook pics are updated faster than my blog...its just more easier. So do check it out there!.

I've saved the best for last! and what is it you might wonder..well i went to EUPHORIA!!...yeap you read it right..euphoria by M.O.S,was just mind blowing,...it was truly a fun thursday night. Most of the med and dental people went. Eventhough i had to wake up for class at 9am the next day..i have to say it was worth it. The place was just huge and pretty cool. Its freaking expensive though but on that particular day we didnt have to pay entrance before 10.30pm and ladies get a free drink. Not forgetting our door gift was little shampoo and conditioner bottles from REDKEN!.The BEST part about the club is the vibrating dance floor..yes people it really does vibrate..and im not talking like low vibration but serious stuff *lol*...it all depends on the base of the song.....If you do get a chance ..go check it out!..i did not spend money on drinks..i danced for like 3 hours plus non stop. The music is a mix of house, trans and RNB...

I gues that's about it from me tonight...tomorrow has to be a more productive study day for me (i hope)...hopefully pics will be uploaded next post...till then

I So Aint Lovin It

This whole week has been STRESS-ful *emphasis*, i had classes from 8-5 and then there was CSU, Labs, clinic visits and in between all that just trying to find the time to study. It at times like this when i really do the envy the medical students *hmmph*..Oh how lucky they are, to get up late, and come for afternoon class all fresh while the dental students will be "yawning" in class and basicly quite drained. Then there was the carving, As dental students were suppose to be able to carve tooth. This is suppose to help us to understand the anatomy of the teeth better *yada yada*...somehow i havent got the hang of it (unlike tallan & izzy), so it can be quite annoying.especially when your wax keeps breaking 3 times! *argh*....i keep telling myself to be patient and hopefully sooner later ill get it..practice makes perfect after all (if only i had time to practice)..


Then there is my dental assignment on "hominids". Some of you might have just gone blank at this moment, well "hominid's" are like cave men (lay-men term)..it shows the evolution of men and the different type of species and stuff. Yes! it does sound interesting but putting the assingment together into 4 pages is no easy task and finding the time to do it is another challenge. At the moment its my top priority, i've finished my part *woohoo* but still there's editing and all.. So anyways, it so happens that on thursday my batchmates decide to go to EUPHORIA because it was having this "Girl's Night Out" where boys and girls are allowed to have free entry before 10.30pm and girls get a FREE drink!!..(its good to be a girl *hehe*)..who wouldnt jump at a chance to go EUPHORIA, its by M.O.S (Ministry of Sounds) anyways...add to which its FREE entry & FREE drink!..on a regular basis the club is really expensive!!!..

Im guessing your able to actually see where im going with this, sadly i couldnt go along *sobs* with them because :

1) i had to finish my dental assignment thing

2) i had dental class at 9am

Although some of my other dental friends went, i somehow didnt think it was appropriate since (as mum always say) i had to get my priorities straight!..and i wanted to finish my assignment by today.

Somehow my day didnt seem to be going well, after class i came back to the aparment to refresh before going for cheerleading practice. I then decided to warm up my cha-siew pau i bought the day before.

MISTAKE no.1 : Never eat pau from the previous day, ( not safe)

So i decided to heat up the pau using my microwave.... yes you read it right. MICROWAVE!,.i heated it for four minutes.

MISTAKE no.2 : Never use a microwave to heat up the a pau!.

After that, the pau still felt hard and i put it back in the microwave and heated it for another 4 mins. i then went to my fridge to look for something else. Then smoke started to ooze out of my microwave..i totally freaked and turned it off!...the whole inside of my microwave was black..my pau kinda blew..and it was charcoal black in colour..and the whole apartment smelled like smoke thanks to mua! *silly silly me!!*..thankfully my microwave still works *phew!!*..

Oh! and i found out that im not the only one who didnt know that you couldnt use a microwave to heat a pau!...LESSON LEARNT!


After cheer practice, I was really frustrated and didnt feel like doing my work in the apartment. I needed to get out and do my work. So my housemate (who felt the same) and i decided to go to a place with wireless access to do our work. The first thing that came to our mind was Starbucks, but because we didnt have our dinner yet, we decided to head to Macdonalds. After browsing online for a macd's with wifi, we ended up at damansara.

So we got there, bought dinner and was all ready to do our work.. and guess what!. their server was down. we only were able to connect locally and not to the internet!.... SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!... and the macd's people were so blur about it. they didnt know what to do...*smacks head*...whats the point of having wifi if it doesnt work!...luckily for me i saved most of my websites and information in my document, poor tallan had to do her PBL instead..at least she manage to finish it!....In conclusion, never go to MAC D's if you want to use the internet!..

I really need to de-stress!!..my cousin bavani is celebrating her birthday at mojo's today!..so that's where im gonna be!!..

-XOXO-
