Stress-relief ways!

Since its the Exam season, im sure most of us are pretty stressed, tensed and well,(especially for girls) we start noticing an increase in loss of hair. Due to this, some might start to look for alternate ways of de-stressing. Among the different ways are :

1. hanging out with friends or girlfriends...who wouldnt love spending some girl time (shopping!, manicures!)

2. Then there is the food solution.i have to admit, i fall into this category. We start eating chocolate stuff, ice-creams and heavy meals!.

3. Listening to music. (im for this as well!)... especially when im studying, after a while..i turn on my itunes and listen to smooth jazzy sounds of michael buble, The corrs, Craig david. etcetc..

4. watching a tv series. new season of Gossip girl, Heroes, Prison break & grey's anatomy is out!! (but becareful as this can lead to a serious addiction)

Basicly those are a few examples i can think of at the moment. Im sure most of you have your own personal way of letting go. Some of the examples only apply in certain conditions.. NOT when your exams are around the corner, then its BYE BYE! tv series *sobs*...

Today while studying a good friend of mine sent me an sms while i was busy understanding IMMUNOLOGY!!. The message was refering to my cheerleading pictures on facebook. I thought the message was really cute and sweet.

GOOD FRIEND : Save the cheerleader save the world. I never got why they used to say that but after seeing your pics now i know. *smiley face*.

Somehow that message also got me thinking of my lecturers in IMU who have a tendency of posting up cartoon pictures in between their lecture slides. A couple of them are pretty funny. Below are a couple of cute jokes i found of the internet.

Dental Humour!! (afterall i AM a dental student *winks*)

IMU CUP *Go Bandits!!*

Let me start of by saying that, i am not really an athletic person neither am i active in outdoor acitivities. Hence joining the cheerleading squad came as a suprise to not only me but most of my friends and family members. However, till this very day i will not regret joining the group because it was loads of fun and i actually lost weight *wohoo*. To this i have only one person to thank, and that person is Izyan Syazwani a.k.a izzi!. Our cheerleading team was called the BANDITS!.im not quite sure who came up with it..we also had a short cheer which was used during all the games. it went something like this : MEDT BANG!BANG! BANG!..( refering to the gun bang people *hehe*)

The competition was on the 19th September 2008 at the IMU atrium. a total of 6 groups from various batches and course took part. The cheerleading competition is the biggest event during IMU cup and so many people come to watch it. My friends from klang and my MUMMY actually came to watch me. Seeing her really made my day.. To make it all the more better, we actually won 3rd place. We werent quite expecting a placing as most of the senior batches were really good. I guess our synchronising and facial expression helped us out..so thank you Wei chin for everything.

Our performance started with "bittersweet symphony" by verve, and then followed by a short cheer. Next was "pump it" by black eyed peas and "lets get it started" by black eyed peas. After a longer cheer (main cheer)..we danced to Avril Lavigne " best damn thing"..it was a very cute girly song!!, then came "elevator" by timbaland. and lastly was "So what" by Pink!.. A video of our performance can be found on YOUTUBE!

Here are a couple of pics from that memorable day.

Meet the cheer squad!




In the begining, first song we danced to was "pump it" by black eyed peas

i was doing a shoulder sit on leon!! (there were some minor mistakes on that day) sorry about that leon

The guy who takes amazing pictures

Prakash who helped me do my pom poms!

My very own personal cheerleaders *winks*

QUICKIES!

Current status : really sad

As my status says, im really sad because today my dear friend dhal left for uk. I know,mentioned it in my previous post, but what makes this departure worse was because i didnt get to see her before she left.. YES i did mention i was going to meet her with my friend maya..but things didnt quite work out..let me explain why :

1. the initial plan was that maya was going to drive to KLIA in the morning to send daley of. We agreed to leave to at 7am to get that early and just incase we got lost, etc.. Maya sent me a text me early morning around 5 to tell me that she thought we should take the train, cause she didnt want to drive as she was not sure of the route to KLIA..she said that if thats the case we can leave at 7.30am..i was quite hesitant. we all know how our train system is...even if the KLIA express and the LRT is pretty fast and efficient... Anyways i was up by 7am.and decided to google the KLIA Express...i didnt realise how expensive the train ticket was...its RM 26.50 for one way ( tasik selatan to klia)..

2. I called maya at 7.30am a couple of times but she didnt answer..i assumed she overslept since she did have a late night...she called me back at 7.45am...we tried to figure the best way to get to the airport..she didnt want to drive because she had to pour petrol, and finding parking was going to be difficult..Anyways, we took the train at 8.00am..and reached the tasik selatan station 10 minutes later. We had to wait for the train to the airport for 25 MINS!!!!!...*sigh*]

3. i text dhal about 8.30am to tell her not to go in yet..and that we would be at the airport by 9am..besides it doesnt really take long to go into imigration (thanks to our awesome passport thingy)..and the gate would prob open at 9.20am...when i went to adelaide, i was the second last person to board the plane..*haha*..coming back to my story...half way, dhal texts me and says that her dad made her go in already...my heart just sank!!..we were so close...*sobs sobs*...

4. there was nothing much we could do, we got down at the next station and took the next train back to tasik selatan.. i tried negotiating with the guy to give us a refund..but he said NO...and there goes RM 26.70!! i was completely broke...maya had to buy my ticket back to sri petaling...The money was a secondary issue,,it was just really upseting that i couldnt see her before she left..we only talked for a short while!!.. *hmm*....oh well my thoughts will always be with you dal

5. Im definately going to miss you heaps, cant wait to see you when you come back.!!! this post is dedicated to you. Wish you all the luck in the world!!! and just have fun..i know you will..OH and if that particular someone gives you trouble...ill take the next flight to uk...and kick his ass!!!!..*lol*...muax.!!!!!!!

love ya!!!.

XOXO

The much awaited post!

This is my first post after my dental ospe exam, and before i get to the best part of my post...i need to express my disatisfaction on my dental paper. It didnt really go to well!!. The OSPE exam consist of 15 stations and at each station, there will be a question which either is diagrammatic, model, x-rays etc. We are only allowed 5 minutes at each station, and after 5 minutes the buzzer will ring and we are suppose to change stations.. Its something like musical chairs..except its not FUN because were being graded and its quite pressurising. You basicly have enough time just to finish the question, and not really go through,.it gets tough when you kinda go blank and the question is hard...so im not too sure how my results going to turn out..the lecturers have already said that we should (i quote) "study more!!!"...and the lecturer also reminded us that the dental paper was actually ' EASY" according to their standards...so here's my problem..if i found the OSPE hard, whatmore can i say about my Summative 2, EOS medical and EOS dental *sigh*..it relaly feels like doomsday!!!



The only thing that helps me get through everyday, is knowing that im not alone..and that there are my batchmates that actually feel the same, so we can always count on each other just being there especially during the days where you just feel like giving up!..but i have told myself that IM not going to give up!!!. im going to take this challenge!! and with a little help from above,i WILL pass my first year!!!!!



Moving on from the exam topic, another sad news is that my dalini is actually leaving to UK tomorrow morn at 10am!!.. i havent seen her since the cheerleading competition, which im so glad she made it! well it was actually because she had some problems with her visa..so they had to postphone her flight.. All the better for me, cause i had the chance to spend some more time with her!!..but the time has come for us to part for a WHOLE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs*...things are going to be different not having dhal around.....its not going to be the same eventhough we will still be able to communicate through internet & maybe skype!...Im sure almost everyone has a friend or sibling who has gone to pursue their education abroad!..i guess i have to look at the bright side and see that its only for 1 year *still sobbing*...anyways im suppose to follow maya to the airport in the morning to send her off..that will be my last time seeing her!...*no tears only smiles*..



On a brighter note, the IMU music club organised an event called NOISE, they actually have it every semester to basicly promote the club, raise funds that kinda stuff...IMU is actually filled with many talented people and i dont mean just academically....my friend IZZI performed 2 duets. one with Fikri (song title : breathe by Anna nalick) and another with Joel ( song title : lucky by jason mraz & coby calliat). She was just amazingly SUPERB...no other way to describe her performance...so today i realised my friend IZZI has more hidden talent..that makes her a SUPER WOMEN!!.. *kisses to you izzi*



Below are some pictures of my cheerleading competition. More pics can be found on my facebook profile and a video of our performance can be found on YOUTUBE! (the video isnt that great because its taken from only 1 angle)..


SORRY PEOPLE, I CANT SEEM TO UPLOAD PICTURES AT THE MOMENT.. SO I WILL TRY AGAIN NEXT TIME AIGHT!...CONTINUE CHECKING UP FOR MORE UPDATES *HEHE*

xoxo

IMPORTANTE!

i have been missing in action for quite some time now. i dont think an explanation is really needed. Im pretty sure you can guess why!, but just to make things more clearer the reasons are because :



1. slogging through dental notes due to my OSPE exam on tuesday



2. CPR exam on sunday (21/9/08)

3. Cheerleading practice

4. More studying

Hence, due to the above mentioned reasons, my blog will be taking a short break. and once im done with my dental OSPE exam on tuesday, ill be sure to blog about my AWE-some cheerleading competition! *stay tuned*..

Current status : MAD!!


I really dont like it, when my status in most of my post is basicly sad, angry or sick!. but what am i suppose to do when there are people like my landlord around..that make me feel all these negative emotions!. i couldnt sleep last night because of this particular lady...its either she doesnt understand english, she is having her PMS or she is just a MEAN!! person..whatever it is, i dont think its nice to treat a person the way she did..Let me explain to you the reason im soooo very mad at my landlord.

First of, i have to say that i have mentioned my dissatisfaction over my landlord once or twice in my previous post. Anyways, the weather last night was pretty humid, and my aircond wasnt functioning properly as it was leaking. This was around 12am, so i decided to text my landlord at that time because i knew the next day i would be to busy with uni that i will eventually forget to text or call her...so this is the msg i sent to her

Premi : Ms.ester, i would like to bring to your attention that currently the aircond in the master bedroom is leaking and the kitchen roof is likewise. i would really appreciate it if you dealt with these problems as soon as possible for it is causing a lof ot inconvenient and distress. ( me trying to sound professional)

Landlord : Dont try to be funny it late at night now! Are you trying to find way out to delay in paying your rental?or trying to give excuse in doing repairing without approval (im thinking to myself WTF!!!!)

Premi : (being patient) Ms ester i have already deposited the cash on monday. I have the receipt with me. Im not trying to be funny but we are having some problems with the maintenance. The reason im sending you the message so late is because i have been very busy with uni. and the weather is humid today so i cant use the aircond. Im just informing you to take the correct action. Dont misunderstand me.

Landlord : Do it again i will issue a warning!! ( WTF BIATCH!!). This time if i dont receive the full amount of rental on time you would face the consequences

(so i tried calling her at, it was around 12.15am to clear things, cause i felt she didnt understand what i was saying but she didnt answer her phone,,so i left it and just sent her a text)


Premi : I tried calling you to sort this missunderstanding. Ill call you tomorrow again or if your free please give me a call. Thank you. You can check your account as the full amount of 1600 is already there. thank you. Good night.

(the next morn) Landlord : Your matter already been forwarded through email to the owner. I am waiting for instruction. You have no common sense by calling people at that kind of time?.

Premi : Sorry ms. ester for calling at that time. Anyways i hope we can meet today or tomorrow at the apt if your free. So i can show the problem to you. I dont want you to have the wrong idea about me. Thank you for forwarding the email. I will wait for your reply. have a nice day.

CONTINUATION

Landlord : i dont want to see you or do anything till i get reply from owner....


That's exactly how the conversation went. In my opinion, i didnt expect her to reply my msg if it was late!!!!.. doesnt she know how to use HER freaking common sense. Im trying to be real patient and being polite and she gets all BITCHY on me!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!....the only reason i asked her to come to the apt, so she can see for herself that there is some problem and not think im lying...Seriously, i hate such people!!...is she taking advantage of me just cause im younger and being polite??..*argh*

Anyways, im giving her 3 working days to reply to me. i have decided to move out of the apartment when my contract ends..i really dont want to rent a place owned by such person.....
*sigh*..that's about it for now...i needed to vent it out!!....

QUICKIES!

Current status : in recovery!!!

I have been meaning to blog, but everytime im about to sit at my laptop..something comes up or i just get so lazy to type whatever that's been on my mind. I've got heaps of work to do and need to force myself to get down to work. Before that, a quick update on my weekend. Well it practically flew by so quickly as usual. *erm* on friday class ended pretty early, and by that i mean 12!! so its actually VERY early..i got home (klang) by 5.00pm..after that was just lazing around. At about 8pm i headed to tiny bum a.k.a daley's house to spend some quality time with her...steph and emily joined us...Prax was missing in action as he had IELTS exam the next day. Im sure he would have scored in his IELTS unlike me, i did alright,..kinda messed my oral part though...It's not like it was hard or anything, the topic was about animal's....*sheesh*..i guess i panicked, even i myself didnt understand what i was saying...anyways that was ancient history..(6 months ago)..After spending some good girl quality time, i got home and instead of sleeping went online....It was a big mistake....You might wonder why????..

The reason was because a friend of mine was online as well, and wanted to play UNO!!. I guess he was bored. It was not a normal uno game, he made a bet and stuff.. The best was if he won i had to change my MSN nick to a ONE word which starts with the letter "F"....but if I won..well thats not really important to know..*hehe*..So being a bit of an egoistic person, although initially i did not want to play, ended up taking the bet. ...Initially i was winning, but then i got tired and the online UNO game is slightly different then normal.. *haha* yes yes i know im making excuses for my lost!!..(still blame it on the sleep)..lol...Since losing the game, my nick has changed from Bedazzeld to Fallegur.(means beautiful in icelandic)...i liked the word when i came across it... The change of nick is temporary till my next UNO match..*haha*...i am well prepared now...


My saturday mornings is pretty much a routine, i try to wake up early and go to the temple..Once i come back i try to do a bit of reading..This weekend, a family friends daughter was visiting as she was going to russia to pursue her studies in medicine. *good luck to you daya*..After that, i go about my "driver" duties, sending my younger sis to and from tuitions...She has malay tuition, art class and taekwando's on saturday. At night i went for this tamil movie called "dhaam Dhoom" directed by Jeeva (if im not mistaken). Most of the film was shot in Moscow,russia..and while shooting almost 80% of the movie, the director died...im not too sure about the cause of death..I did not actually want to go for the movie but since my godparents and mum was going, i decided to spend some quality family time and tag along.....Tamil movies are about 2 1/2 hours, so that basicly was my saturday. Oh and in my opinion, the movie wasnt that great actually...it could have been shot better eventhough the story line was good.


Waking up on sunday mornings is such a drag, just cause you know its a Sunday and that you have to go back to uni the next day. I dont really like the whole packing my stuff and going back to vista. I'll start missing my bedroom..*hehe*... anyways i cant believe i actually watched "CAMP ROCK" on disney channel..im not a big fan of Jonas Brother's but somehow i felt like i wanted to see what was the big hype about..I still dont get it..In comparison to High School Musical, it wasnt all that great.. HSM has better songs and a larger cast..i suppose CAMP ROCK is a smaller production, but i heard that it received an overwhelming response thus they're going to do a sequel to it...How typical!!!..I have to admit though, i find the 2nd brother, Joe quite good looking.. *blushes*.All that jumping around and singing must really attract the younger crowd..not forgetting the fact that JONAS BROTHERs as the main characters must really help...After watching that, i watched a movie which was more suited to my taste.. "Perfect Strangers". Halle berry and Bruce willis acts in it, i do encourage you to catch in on HBO if you have the chance. it has a good story line..the movie is a thriller somewhat..so if you enjoy that genre of movies, you will definately enjoy this!..CSI very own Warrick Brown actually acts in it as well...

There you have it, a not so short summary on how my weekend went. I manage to squeeze in time for Gossip Girl and One Tree hill (super awesome!!)..haha..

XOXO

QUICKIES!

Current status : SICK!

Im down with a real bad flu, my nose is blocked..i can barely breathe! i also have a real bad soarthroat..thus me losing my voice. Though some people think, the soar throat voice is much more sexier *hahaha*.. The Flam inside is the only thing bugging me, cause it probably take a couple of days for it to subside. Till then im on strict medication..meet my new pals, Panadol, Actified and vitamins...Apparently, im not the only one who is sick..there are quite a number of people in IMU who are not feeling well. I blame it on the RAIN!!...its been raining continously and last week, i got wet at least 4 times....that pretty much explains it all..

Adding to that, i did not attend class today. I only went for CSU (clinical skills unit) as it is pretty important, eventhough, i was pretty much suffering during the entire 2 hours!!!.. i missed a lot today though, it was another long day of classes. I have to catch up on more work now *sigh*

On a better note, remember how i was explaining about my real bad week and the incident with my phone!!. WELL, i got the call yesterday that my phone WORKS!!!!!!!! *jumps for joy*.. and you might be wondering how much the damage cost...in totally was RM130!!..in my opinion, i think its pretty reasonable, i expected it to be 200 plus!. Thats not all, my contacts could be retrieved!! *yay!!!!!!!!*... I will be reunited with my phone hopefully by tomorrow!!.. *cant wait!*.....i was able to survive without my phone for 1 week..i say thats pretty good dont you??? *winks*


I have to do my PBL now, but im sooooo lazy to get to it!..i hate having the flu..i feel so weak and all i want to do is SLEEP!!..i cant wait to go home to my comfy bed.....Im still waiting for OTH and GG to finish downloading..its taking forever!!!!!!!!!!!

till my next post!

XOXO

September 1st

A start of a new month, just 5 more weeks till the end of my Semester. At the end of that, awaits my final exam *horror!!*..I cant runaway from it, so i just have to pull it together and face it. There are lots of stuff happening in this month, it's a pretty crucial time for me. I must not let myself get distracted with anything. Trust me, its pretty easy for me to say it..but i have a tendency of astraying easily...September 1st signifies a lot to me, Its not just the start of a new month but also an indication to how long my friendship with a certain someone is. Besides that, there are just heaps of things happening this month.

Firstly, the IMU CUP - cheerleading is on Sept 19th. So there ought to be more practices and i would probably have to try to stay back on saturdays. Im not sure how im going to juggle my time with books and practices. However, i always tell myself if others can do it, so can i!!!! ...moving on to between Sept 15-19th, i have a MOCK Foundation 2 EOS format exam. EOS a.k.a end of semester format consist of SAQ & OBA (one best answer)...ive hardly covered my portions and now i have only 2 weeks to get it all done!!...*goodness*...i guess i have to say "BYE BYE' to my so called 'social' life..its not like my social life was that active to begin with.. *sobs sobs*

Moreover, my bestie is leaving for UK on the 13th. Im really going to miss her, she is going to bristol for a year to continue her law degree. Most of the people i know have either left, leaving or going to leave. I have to patiently wait for 1 year plus before i leave to aussie as well *fingers-crossed*.. withouht dal, well things are going to be quite different. after all she and prax are the only people i hang with when i come back during weekends!! Thinking about it, kinda makes me really sad already...Things would probably be even harder when prax leaves to aussie!!!!!!!! okok..i should really not think about it...im about to get all mopey!

How could i forget my dental OSPE exam on the 23rd!! i dont think listing all these things are actually doing me any help. probably have a panic attack any second!. *thinking positively*...after dhal goes, my weekends are all about studying! studying! and studying!!!...I guess thats about it on what the month of september is going to look like for me!!..


Oh for all those Gossip girls & One tree hill fans!!, the new episodes have started...*woohoo!!*..dont talk to me about the episodes until i have watched it though.. I dont like SPOILERS!!!.....


XOXO
