Short trip back to Malaysia

Last weekend was fantastic ...

I went back to Malaysia last Friday ( missed the Organic Chemistry lecture ) . It was a very short trip ( from Friday night to Monday morning ) but the food I ate was unbelievable ... Here is the list of food I ate ...

Friday noon - JB
- McDonald's Ayam Goreng McD set LARGE ( still cheaper than the Medium set in Singapore ) .
Friday night - KL
- Fried Hokkien mee and other local delicacies as supper ... so full that night ..
Saturday morning - KL
-Local food at the market .
Saturday noon - KL
-Homecook meal .... best !!!
Saturday night - KL
-Grand scale homecook meal ... my mum spent like 3 hours in the kitchen .... so many dishes ... my nanny and her family joined us as well .... so heart-warming ...
Sunday morning - Bentong
-McD breakfast ( see the addiction ... )
Sunday noon - Kemaman in Terengganu

See the change from Malaysia to Singapore ??? That's how drastic the food gets ...

Was busy ...

Wa ... I haven't updated my blog for a few days already .... I was very tired ..... so am I now .... well , the things that happened these few days were :

- Wei Han and I are planning to come back to Malaysia next weekend ( most probably Friday night ) ... YES !!! Lots of cheap McDs...

- I didn't fail Chemistry after all .. G** knows what is wrong with my luck .... in fact I got 70marks .... but it was mostly pity marks .... my 3D structures draw until so ugly the professor still gave me pity marks .... most of the guessing questions 'gam ngam hou' tembak correct .... what the .... anyway ... just to compare .... someone actually got 97marks .... he is from Malaysia also .... yeah .... that's the way ... lol .

- I am making progress in my tutorials . I didn't embaress myself as much with my notorious questions ... got to know a few more friends ( mostly from Malaysia .... give me some time la ) ....

- After that long .... full-of-bread weekend , I decided to eat better ... food takes my stress off a bit .. so I tried the soya bean ice-cream yesterday ... kononnya can make me stay awake throughout the lecture but it worked oppositely .... I felt sleepier ...

- Today I learned about toxicology in Forensic Science .... The most common and lethal drug that mankind use is ALCOHOL !!!! .... See ... alcohol poisoning has the highest fatality rate amongst all poisons .... now I got an excuse ( supported statistically ) not to drink !!! Another reason to love forensic science ....
- My roommate and I are getting along better .... he started to play tennis .... so he gets more tired everyday and do less other "stuff" ..... I think we are going to get along well .... but both of us are really dirty.. so far we have never mopped the room at all .... ewww ..... what to do ? I am lazy what ....

I'll be in Malysia for a week . Feel free to ask me out .... I mean it in the most innocent way .

Relief .....

3 days ago I went for the ASEAN scholarship interview . Guess what ? Today morning they replied saying that I GOT IT !!!! omg ....... I am damn hyper ..........

No tuition fee . Daily expenses are being taken care of .....

Technically , I don't have to ask for a single penny from my parents ....

BUT

Reading through the comditions , I have to maintain a CGPA of at least 3.5/5.0 .... Judging from the past Chemistry test , I have got a lot of work to do .....

Anyway , today is totally a McDonald's day ..... wait . I can't . No money . Today is going to be a bread day .....

Hopefully this scholarship will let my parents retire earlier ..... haha .

Compulsive .... but I am so SATISFIED !!!!!

First of all , the title sounds wrong , but it best decribes how I am feeling now .

I went for the fisrt Earthlink ( an environmental club ) meeting yesterday night ..... I was too lazy to walk , so I took the bus .... I ended up being late for the meeting .... sad ... and the time I estimated for dinner was gone as well ..... After the meeting , I was dying from starvation .

Since W** H**'s erhem erhem has come , obviously he is going to spend some "quality" time with erhem erhem la .... I didn't want to eat alone , so I looked around and saw my SAVIOUR !!!! I was so tempted ..... I tried to control myself for so long .............................................................. but my self control was weak , so withount thinking twice . I followed my desire for the first time .....

I approached her ..... and asked her ......

" 1 set of Double Cheeseburger plain , take-away , my preferred drink is Sprite "
" 4 dollars 80 cents sir . "

I quickly gave the money to her before I regret and walked back to my room ..... gosh ! The smell of french fries was so tempting .... but my hands weren't washed yet ( H1N1's side effect ) so I had to hold back .....

The taste of Sprite was too much for me to handle . I have not tasted soft drinks the moment I set foot into Singapore ..... I finished it within a few steps ...... I walked so fast that the people around were like ' Rushing for a flight meh .... ' .

I barked into my room ( after washing my hands ) . The first taste of french fries ..... and cheeseburger ...... For your information , I am addicted to McDonalds .... back in Malaysia at least once in a week I must have it . But my budget in Singapore doesn't permit for McDonalds .... Gosh . I was so hyper !!!

Slowly , the guilt sets in .... die lo ... must save tomorrow . So today I am having 1 meal only .... I purposely woke up a little late ( afternoon ) and drank a lot of water until I make it to the canteen in the evening .... there is a price to pay for compulsive desire ......

I can't wait to go home . I can eat McDonalds everyday .....lol .

I love Forensic Science ...

Today is my second lesson in Forensic Science .... I admit 3 hours lecture is actually quite tough to go through but it was really really interesting !!!

We learned about DNA today ... so if anyone here has any doubt as to whether they are adopted or you think your siblings and you have nothing in common at all .... feel free to find me ... Ok la , I admit I can't do the test .... but I think I know how to read the basis Short Tandem Repeats Capillary Gel Electrophoresis graph .... can tell whether you are biologically compatible or not .... haha .... wah .. berlagak pula ..... it was actually a common sense thing la ....

Then we did some case studies as well .... seems really like CSI ... they gave us some clues .... then the results of the relative tests .... then analyse ..... but no suspect to interview .... haiya .. memang potong steam .....this is the only subject that I am looking forward to for the exam because we can get some real case studies then .... Woohoo !!!

Next week is toxicology .... the name itself is so CSI-ish aready ...... that's it la .... I think I may need a switch in career already ....

PAWS ...

Today is my feeding day .... alright ... sounds very wrong . Let me explain . The first club I joined in NTU was PAWS ... it's a voluntary club to help the cats as there are many cats in the campus ... I am in charge of feeding the cats in Hall 7 ( my hall ) on Sunday .... so far I have only seen about 5 cats ....sad . My partner feeder said there were more than 10 usually ... hmm .... I wonder why they didn't show up for food ...

Anyway , it was really an amazing experience to be close to cats again .... considering I have left one behind in Malaysia for more than a week already ..... this small gesture also took some of my pressure away ...

Next week will be hactic .... Another Maths exam ( thankfully the first exam I did ok ) ..... and Atomic Chemistry coming up ( unfortunately my Organic Chemistry was horrible ..... ) ..... ' Cats are human's best friends ' .....lol

Weird Things only happen in Singapore

Another very weird thing happened today .

I was walking back to my room after my class . I saw a car coming while I was trying to cross the road .... I stepped back and allow the car to pass first .... common sense what ..... later kena langgar or horned then very embaressing .... The weird thing was , the driver stopped the car right before the zebra crossing ..... really , not slow down but he braked the car .... some more it was on a slope ... I was so shocked I didn't react for a second ... then he signaled me to cross the road first .... Wa .... this kind of mentality where to find ?

If in some country M****** , the only thing lying on that zebra crossing will be my dead body .... haih ... next election must VOTE !!!! Choose your government k ... ( this applies to those studying overseas , especially UK people ... must purposely come back and vote ..... )

Forensic Science ...

Today is my first lesson in Forensic Science , and the fourth class for everyone else in the same class ..... I was offered a place in this subject last minute as they said it is very popular ...but special offer for chemistry student .... another reason why I think I may not have made the wrong choice coming here ....

Today we have a guest speaker , Mr T*** . He is a forensic pathologist in Forensic Department in Singapore . Well .... he brought a presentation and lets just say the presentation uses REAL CASE photos ..... omg .... some pictures were really unpleasent ..... but that's the truth about forensic ... and apparently CSI is way tooo glamorous .... he said there is no way 1 CSI member can do all the jobs and wear nice makeup while doing autopsy .... well ..... I still like CSI no matter what .... my advice is don't drive recklessly ... it's a terrible way to die .... the 3 hours lecture wasn't boring at all ....

After that we learned about drugs . How to differentiate between morphine , ketamin , heroin , amphetamine , barbiturate , cocaine ... bla bla bla ..... boring ... see the formula only 'hak ngan fan' .....

TIRED ..............................

Today I only have 4 hours of lecture .... how tiring can it get ?

Yes , it can .

Between the lectures I managed to sneak back and get an hour of sleep before the next lecture . I went for the volleyball try out at 7pm ..... 'gam ngam ho' that time I promised the Malaysian group people for dinner ( including wei han ) ... I thought the try out was going to last about one hour ... TOPS .... but from 7 it went on and went on .... we did spiking training and positioning and then played 3 sets berturut-turut ..... wa .... until 10pm only finished ..... the amount sweat can make Singapore sink already ..... but I couldn't enjoy it more !!!! It was like all the unhappy things just went away ....for a moment la ...

Tomorrow got maths test ..... somemore will contribute to the overall scores and grade ..... thank goodness most of them are from C3 .... wait , useless , I forgot everything already .... tonight I'll try to refresh a little , hopefully I won't fail .....
