BUT IMMA ENJOY IT ALL I CAN D:

I hope I can get new shoes and clothes :'D

p.s.Tom is fat fat FAT now O:

Ugh

IT'S SO BORING DURING STUDY WEEK D:
My laptop is at Aunty's place... boohoo :C

I MISS MY PRETTY BOYS ;3;
...in HQ that is ;D
I need to bring my harddrive over sometime D:

Can't wait for the holidays C:

Continuous Assessment D:

Aka CONASS for short. Next Monday.
It's only true or false questions though.
I'm too lazy to read, but I have to
since I flunked the previous one :C

And I have my Phase 1 exam on the 24th [a major exam]
I need to pass D:

I enjoy doing SPOT questions though :'D
[anatomy questions using cadavers as reference]

:C

I wanna buy new shoes... but good ones don't come cheap 'ait? :'C

I need to vent my anger, NAO D<

I mean like, if you said 'wait for me at dm at 5.00pm', please, please, please be on time? Or if you're gonna be late tell me? I waited for a fucking 30 minutes okay? Do you know how much time that is? Then you have to call me at 5.45 telling me they're searching for me, HELL I'M GOING ANYMORE. IT'S OFF!!!

I'm sooo fucking pissed. The idiots here don't know how to appreciate time, and we're supposed to be one of the 'elite' students.

Rattle his bones over the stones, It's only a pauper who nobody owns.

It's been a while since I updated. Nothing much has been going around... except that a friend who suddenly disappeared from sight about a year ago suddenly appeared in Cheras and studying Pharmacy D: [ and she kept quiet for a year+.... how could you :C ]

Major exams coming at the end of November.
A nice birthday treat, don't you suppose?
[I phail at sarcasm D:]

On a side note...
OMGIsawHouseofManyWaysbyDianaWynneJonesinMPHandIquicklygrabbeditforreads.
:'D

And The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman was good
*insert picture of thumbs up here*

-WAILS-

How could you Cornelia Funke D<
I don't like the ending of Inkdeath.
Now I can't finish the darn book D:

That is why kids, never skip to the last chapter of ANY book you read.

I wanna read the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (;0;)

Raya has passed...

And it was pretty dull compared to previous years :c
[sorry! But there was no mercun this year, ehehehe ^^;]

Anyway, my family couldn't balik kampung this year cause my dad fell sick... he had a blood clot in one of his arteries ;3;. No worries, he's fine right now... just that he does not want to take a good day's rest D<. He can't sit still I tell ya! I guess that's where Faiz might have gotten his genes from, haha. My dad has to take anti-coagulating pills for the rest of his life though :c

Now enough of depressing news. It's the good stuffs now, hehe. For raya I had to represent my mom in presenting the 'Duit Raya'. Everyone started calling me Mak Cik, lolz. Not that I mind much :'p
[But if in the near future when I have to do that again, call me Mak Cik and say bye bye to those green packets of money >D)

On a side note, my brother reached safely in Reading. I keep forgetting about the time difference whenever I chat with him on msn, orz.

And I need to fix that oven in the kitchen.
I feel like baking something one of these days C:

Ugh, some poeple....

Just as soon as I got back someone wanted to borrow my printer to print a few coloured pages for her TITAS project. I didn't even unpacked yet. HELLO, there's a computer lab where you can actually print stuff there. Yeah yeah, I know they don't offer coloured pages, but you can make those pie charts in black and white. Ugh, so unimaginative *rolls eyes*. Just because I'm the only one in the block that has a printer doesn't mean you can abuse that priviledge.... *sigh* I feel like leaving that darn printer back at the BU house...

[Heck, she even asked me for the printer last Friday. I told her I left the wires at home... I thought she was smart enough to actually move her ass to the computer lab then. Mana tau on Sunday suddenly she comes knocking on my door. And guess what, she has to pass it up tomorrow D:]

Yes, I know I'm selfish. But the ink cartridges for that printer are expensive.... for me that is. Plus I'm a cheapo D: AND WE WEREN'T EVEN CLOSE. If you're a roommate or a close friend, I wouldn't mind printing for free D:

Someone please teach me how to refuse without telling them I'm a selfish bitch?

Diana Wynne Jones!

OMGOMGOMG she wrote 2 new books in the past two years

And I haven't got my hands on them yet! D:

Firstly, The Game. I saw it at MPH the other day...

But thought I'd get my a hands first on The Though Guide to Fantasyland.

And the second volume of the Chrestomanci series

[which contains The Magicians of Caprona and Witch Week]

I'll get The Game by this week.

I MUST as a fan of Diana Wynne Jones!

The other new book was just recently published this year.

It's called House of Many Ways.

I'm guessing the paperback version to come out in a few months time.

It's part of the Castle series xD

And has Howl and Sophie in it from Howl's Moving Castle.

Not forgetting Calcifer and Morgan.

If you haven't read any of her books yet.

I recommend you to start RIGHT AWAY!

But be warned!

You might never come out of her tangle of books.

[I know I never did since my friend introduced it to me when I was in Secondary two :B]

You can start with A Tale of Time City [a personal favourite]

Or Howl's Moving Castle

Or The Merlin Conspiracy.

Heck, read any of her books.

It's guaranteed satisfaction *wink*

Dune... ;3;

I saw one of the Dune book series in Popular for RM19.90.
Too bad I'm too poor to even buy a fucking book D:

Arghhh... I own only one book from the Dune series.
Darn. Why are old books so hard to find?
Well the book that I do have, Dune (The first book of the series)
came from an old bookstore anyway xD

I need to find time to go to Chaurastar (sp?)
Orz, I know how to pronounce the place
but I just realised that I don't actually know the spelling O:
____________________________________

On a side note...

The last volume of RAVE. It finally ended.
Huhuhu, now I don't have anymore comics to collect...
Wait, I still have Ouran and Penguin Revolution xD

More picture spam! :'D

This is Tom.
It's a she.
Yes, female O:


Me and my new Onew hat xD;;
[don't ask me what it's really called... it just looks like the one Onew wears in Replay~ :B]


And my new boots :'D
Finally got white ones, *yay!*

Oh noes! I've become a stalker?

Well, actually these twins are just so adorable that I could help myself from taking their picture D:
[actually, it was my friend who took the shot... my camera sucks at zooming in D:]


Yes, you can see the cadaver they're examining....
It's pretty dried up, with broken nerves and blood vessels and flaking muscles.


And this is Zuli and I during the 6th Intermedical Physiology Quiz for the A.Rahman's Cup.
UM beat many other from various countries to become number 1. Yay UM :B
Some of the participating countries are Australia (University of New South Wales came in second), Philippines (one of it's universities came in third), Thailand, Indonesia, China, India, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic and so on (these are what I remember so far ^^;;)
Also, not forgetting our local and public medical schools such as USIM, UiTM, USM, IMU, MMMC, and PMC.


Last week we had CPR training with our final years xD
They had to teach us CPR, with guidance from a professor and his personnel from the A&E department. Yes, we kissed the practice dummies. I think I'm capable of doing CPR now... although I wonder if I'm actually qualified for it :/

Because I'm bored :c

I'm posting random pics C:




Mah textbooks D:


The d00d we see every week.



And the cat that looks like Tom
-but he seems to have disappeared from our college :c-

Puasa month's a coming....

And I haven't finished ganti-ing my days yet.
Yes, I know I suck :c
I keep doing them all last-minute and stuffs.

Two more days to ganti.....

------------------------------------------


I'm bored...
I know I should be reading my biochemistry, physiology and anatomy right now :c
It's just that I felt my blog's being neglected xD;;;
*lame*

My studies? Hhmmm...

I think it has been 3 weeks into studying, or was it 4?. Anyway, we started with a lot of gaps in the timetable, but now it's kinda packed. In the mornings we'll usually have lectures and maybe tutorials (we bombared the tutors with questions, ahha). In the afternoons it's mostly practicles, watching slides thru the microscope and examining the cadavers (aka, dead bodies... although they're kinda preserved-looking... like mummies :/ ). We don't get fresh bodies cause well, it seems that they don't import cadavers from India anymore :'(

Ahha, I'm supposed to be doing some research on shoulder joints right now.... back to google. Laters~

Life in UM?

So far it's okay.
Hostel food is so-so.
It's not the best but you won't die :'D
And the faculty is seriously near to my hostel, the 6th college.
Less than 5 minutes walk away.
[Makes me pity those who stay at the 2nd college, they're pretty far]

But there's one thing I noticed here in UM.
Racism is thick. Very thick.

Well, some of the students are pretty open.
And so are most of the lecturers.
It's those who aren't that get on my nerves.
They have this weird type of logic. Let me show you the maths...

Malay = Muslim
Chinese = Buddhist/ Christian
Indian = Hindu

And there were these group of seniors who asked all Muslim students to stay back for a while after lecture and said (and I quote)

"Budak Melayu jangan bagi budak chinese nota-nota awak, sebab the chinese takkan bagi awak nota diorang, no matter what. Kalau dapat pun, dapat je la. Jangan bagi diorang apa-apa. Kite Muslim mesti bersatu."

And there I was, a chinese-looking Muslim staring back at him.

Well, to tell you the truth, he was actually a repeat student. Smart huh?

But anyhow, I was of prepared for this. I'm guessing a lot more things (good and bad) will come in the future. This 'berpuak-puak' attitude has been in UM for a lot of years, but I hear there are 2nd and 3rd years who are trying to change that. I wonder if there is any truth in their words. But with or without them, I'll try my best too to form an interracial community in UM (no matter how cheesy it may sound xD)

Its a pity really, since UM is bragging that it is a 5 star university....
but to me it has a no star in unity.
And we shout 'UM is ONE' throughout the first week of haluansiswa aka. orientation.

Universities anyone?

I got a few friends who went into UM, and even one with the same course as me xD Quite a number got UKM, and there's also UiTM, UPM, UTM, UMP... and others that I can't remember at the moment :'P. Wish you guys all the best!~ And when we have time, lets meet up 'kay [although I don't think I can since I'm guessing my uni life to be very very busy? xD]

I'm so happy that I got UM. When we were at Matriculation, there was this one week where the college invited students from UM to hold a motivation programme for us. Since that day I was attracted to UM. Ah, can't wait to learn the cheer for my residential college xD

And now... to get myself ready for university.

Stuffs to do :
1. Master driving. The most important thing!!! It's not that I can't drive... I still don't have the confidence xD;;
2. Buy the essential stuffs (clothes)
3. Get documents ready (photocopy and certify new IC)
4. Get book list for the semester
[will add in more if there are any I missed out]

OMG OMG

I just checked my UPU results...

AND I GOT INTO UM, for Perubatan and Pembedahan course.
I'm so thankful I got this course.
And my dad's surely above the moon right now, ahha.

Now, lets try to get a few things from my dad...
namely a new Ipod, handphone and external hardrive.... hmmm...

I got this stupid chain mail...

And it told us to boycott PETRONAS so that it might lower their oil prices.
Hello, that's not gonna solve anything, just making it worse. Whoever made that chain mail is definitely not Malaysian. I wonder if the person who gave me the chain mail knows that PETRONAS has been subsidizing our oil for quite a while? Did she know that people from Thailand actually smuggle our oil out? She definitely didn't read today's newspaper.

I know that everyone has been complaining about oil prices and that prices for everything else has increased too. Ugh, but this is definitely not a solution.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is just my piece of mind >:C

_______________________________________________

On a side note : I've been offered a seat for IMU. Now waiting for my UPU results. Please please please let me get into local univesity. If it's UM, that'll be greater still >o<

:C

Sandy died this morning. I found out about it around lunch when i saw one of the cages missing ;3;

I hope Sandy gets some peace in hamster heaven.
He does not have to meet Faiz everyday anymore xD;;

But then the full impact of abuse goes to Snowy now :/

And Hanna acts like a bitch sometimes. Why does she have to be so darn picky/demanding/princess-ish. If you don't like Mama's cooking then keep it to yourself. You don't have to announce to the whole worlds that the taste doesn't suit your royal tongue D;
Everyone ate it except for you. Yes, it is missing some flavors compared to the previous one Mama cooked. But no one's perfect.

Ugh, but she can be good when she has something in return. Like just now I just bought a movie. Since she wants to watch it, she does everything I ask for. And me being the *coughevilcough* sister I am... well, I ordered her around. Hey, its a rare opportunity xD

Okay, now I'm off to watching the movie~

Oh noes DX

Our Perak gathering had to be canceled because our UPU results might come out next week (Or to be exact, on Wednesday, so says the rumors)

If the results aren't out by then... Imma kill whoever did those rumors D;

Perak gathering?

A few friends of mine are planning a gathering for our tutorial group, TB4. But it's only for close friends, ahha xD

I hope there are tickets available to Ipoh :/

_____________

I wanna learn how to dance Replay... 'cause it looks cool BD

Insect spray thingi

Some people came today to to spray the house with some chemicals said to rid the house of insect, and household pests. I hope the ants will lay off my laptop now D: So far they've attacked my CD player and my mouse D:<

And I got a new hat <3


My eyes look weird xD

*sigh*

I couldn't stay in KL longer. And the worse part is I couldn't get my hands on a few new CDs. Darn.

How I hope I can buy things online. Penang is so slow on J-pop and K-pop stuffs. And I don't know of any place where I can actually pre-order something.

Aaaaanyways, Faiz is a pain in the ass... well, he has always been one. Making such a big fuss when he needs to wee wee when we were on the highway. Gawd, if you keep still you can keep it in longer D:

And no, he didn't wet the car. I'd make him clear it up if he did anyway.

IMU Interviewwwwww.

And I had to have a nervous breakdown. I wanna slap myself for that Dx

I need to learn to talk to people D;

Studios Ghibli!!!!

I just love watching the movies they produce. HAYAO MIYAZAKI'S NEW MOVIE WILL BE OUT THIS YEAR!!! Can't wait 'till I get my hands on them >o< . It's called Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. It's suppose to be out on the 19th of July. I read on Wikipedia that it is going to be a watercolor-based movie. Can't wait to see it!!

To read more on Studio Ghibli, go here : Studio Ghibli on Wikipedia.

Personally speaking, I recommend all the movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Some pics:


My Neighbour Totoro


Laputa: Castle in the Sky


Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Went out for movies today...

I watched Indiana Jones and Narnia with Hanna, Faiz, Caryn, Vanessa, Hooi Fern and Hooi Fern's boyfriend today. Although the last three only joined us for Narnia xD;;;

One thing. INDIANA JONES IS A GREAT MOVIE! It's good 'cause it made me scream in the cinemas xD

Faiz made a new friend, no an enemy today. Haha. I should post a pic of them together xDDD

Mkay...

I know when I have to be in KL now.... before the 29th of May. Why? I'll be taking my IMU interview then.

Note to myself, so that I don't forget :

IMU Interview
Date : 29th May
Time : 4pm.
Place : Admission Office
Things to bring : Original certificates.
Wear : Formal clothes
Others : Come 30 minutes earier

IELTS results...

I got an average band of 8.0
I beat Daniel by 0.5 [muhahahahaha]

Reading - 8.5
Listening - 8.5
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 7.0

Orz, the marks keep getting lower and lower. Darn speaking test D:

I got my Matricuation results already!

And I got 4.0 for my second semester, making my PNGK 3.94
Darn first semester results Dx If only I did better.

Oh well no use crying over spilled milk. Just hope that I hope strong luck so that I'm able to get into a local university [ preferably I would want UM though ;3; ]

Picture Spam!

Me , Mama and Hanna went to Prangin Mall today. We got boots! (me and Hanna that is xD). Its the same design, but different colour. Mind you, we can wear both of them :'D

Guess which is mine? :B

Besides that I got myself more bracelets! [ Bracelets are luff <3 ]

+ = 26

Last of all, my lovely hats. I NEED MORE DARNIT D;

Well, we went out for dinner today...

... and what poor service we got. The place was full of people, so it looked like a good place (It was my second time there). Note one thing : NEVER judge a book by its cover.

When we went there, the waiter gave us our seats and took our orders. T'was okay till after that. We waited. And waited. And waited some more. Nothing arrived except for two cups of plain water (and there were 5 of us... don't they know how to count?). Guess what, the food arrived before the drinks... something I've first encountered at an eaterie. And they served our veggies after we finished our rice. Smart huh? We 'kindly' asked the man to take back the veggies and cancel it from out bill.

Now I compare this experience with my first time there. That day everything was fine. The orders came fine. We got everything... except maybe they switched someone's drink (who I think is Imran). We ate at good time, no waiting and asking when the order's arriving.

I can make two types of conclusion:

1. They judge their customers. On the first day, we wore 'respectable' looking clothes. Well, my mom didn't wear the sorry things she calls clothes (sorry Mama, but sometimes I just don't like how you look in jeans and T's ^^; ). She sometimes gets mistaken as a maid D; (I hate people who makes conclusions without getting the facts right). The 'Mat Salehs' get their orders pretty fast. And so are people who look 'rich'. On the second day... well, we were wearing kind of slacky clothes... and my father didn't help with the 'good first impression' part.

2. They've just gotten too big and can't handle their customers properly. Everything's out of hand. They don't even know what we ordered (our drinks were mixed up with some else's). Well, there were a lot of people there.... and the person who was in charge of our section didn't look like he could handle things properly. He was all 'kelam-kabut'-ish.

But its a real pity, the place has such good food. Kinda sad that it might go bad just because of poor management.

Hanna you foo D;

Yeah, I'm pissed at her at the moment. She's a lazy ass who doesn't want to help around the house. Gawd, and the person I thought wouldn't help me at all helped out a lot ( that's Imran D: )

And she curses a lot... well, its not like I don't curse myself but she likes to use 'fuck' and 'go to hell' on Faiz (and others that I can't seem to remember right now). How I wish to wash her mouth with bleach (orz, this makes me sound like an old grandma).

I think my period's coming ;3;

21st and 23rd of May....

...are the days I'm getting my results from Matrix and IELTS respectively.

Oh God I pray let me have a satisfying set of results... this week is somewhat like mental torture Dx

I want to go down to KL but I'm lazy ... >_>;;;
Yes yes, I will be going down but not anytime this week. Maybe next week after I get my results. I need to find out about IMU's application anyway (hopefully if I get good results). Let me get more than a 3.5 please please please (Q_Q).

p.s. I had my hair straightened. It looks so flat and straight :'D
I wonder how long it'll last...

...

It wonders me sometimes to see many grown adults having the mentality of children.

Me included, haha.

A board.

Hanna got her drums set today, Faiz got his piano, Imran's gonna get a new acoustic guitar and I'm just bored as hell D:

Gimme things to do during this long, long~ holiday D:
But in the end I might turn out to be too lazy to do anything useful :P

I envy people who can go out and do things, unlike me who's stuck at home... I wanna watch a movie...

I wanna go down to KL darnit Dx
IELTS test IELTS test, arghh *goes crazy*

This is what you get when one gets bored O:

Taking IELTS soon Dx

And I thought I would be free from exams after Matrix ;3;

Well, all for the sake of pleasing my fussy father. He definitely wants me to take the medical profession, local or overseas. Well, its not that I mind anyway. I have no actual target/dream in life so I'll just let my dad do all the thinking and I'll make all the effort I can.

Anyone who bothers reading my blog here know anything about IELTS? I heard its a bit like MUET just harder? :B
-I know I know, I should ask my brother who took it last year >_>;;-

Sometimes being 'mixed' ain't that great...

I am a girl who has mixed parentage, that is Chinese and Malay.
I have a Malay name but a Chinese face. Sometimes I hate it because people always look at you in a strange way, as if I don't belong there. They wonder what language to talk to me and how to greet me. Sometimes I feel I lose friends because I can't communicate with people efficiently.

Sometimes I feel I'm more Malay than Chinese. I know Malay culture more than Chinese, and I am quite fluent in Malay. I can't speak a proper sentence in Mandarin or any other dialect. My family is closer to our Malay relatives and we meet them quite frequent. I rarely meet relatives from my Chinese side and I am only close to a few of them via the internet.

At other times I feel I am more Chinese than Malay. As I have said before, I have a Chinese face. Usually during my first time at a new place, the Chinese will usually greet me first. Besides, I have the mentality of a Chinese. Yes I admit, I ABSOLUTELY DETEST MALAY MENTALITY. They do not want to work hard for anything. They always assume Chinese (or any other race) are smart when they lose behind. They always try to find the easy way out. They only have one plan in life, never thinking of back-up plans in case they fail. They are too materialistic and keep forgetting about their family.

BUT what I am saying here does not apply to all Malays, but those who are caught up with the past and not wanting to receive any new opinion from anyone around them. I am saying this from past experience because I used to stay in a room with a Malay with this exact type of idiotic mentality.

When she doesn't get good results, she would ask me or my Chinese roommate how we scored. Out of all the stupid questions she gotta ask the stupidest of the lot. Good things do not come without hard effort. She says she's tried hard but what does she do? Sms-ing her boyfriend, daydreaming about getting married with him and almost wanting to kill herself when he broke up with her? I bet she never thought about her family. How they worked hard for her to live a better life than theirs. How much sweat her brother sacrificed to give her that expensive handphone (during the time her dad was admitted to the hospital). Have she ever thought how she could repay the good deeds of her family? I know I love my family a lot and whatever I do to repay their kindness won't be enough. But I'm glad I do not have to see her now.

Anyway, back to being mixed. I have a feeling that I am ostracized by the society, but bravo to my loyal friends who still befriended me regardless of my race, religion and outward appearance.
I know a lot of people who only got close to me because I was 'smart' and I could be of benefit to them.

About the strange glares of people, I've gotten over them. Now I laugh and joke about it. During exams: PMR, SPM, my exams in Matrix and MUET, examiners always do a double take at my table. The check and recheck my IC while looking at my face. Makes you wonder if they had ever encountered a mixed child before, eventhough our society is well known for being multiracial and mixed marriage is not uncommon anymore.

Ugh, sometimes I hate being mixed. Sometimes I love it because its unique. But I wonder how will I cope it in the future? Now I am still under my parents supervision, but later when I step out into to cruel harsh world, I wonder if there really is a place for me out there?
