朋友原谅我渐渐少去的问候

2010-10-08T21:34:00.002+08:00

我们不能时时在身边

好像电话短信也没有了

我们不能第一时间分享彼此的快乐与不快乐

好像变的冷漠沉默了

我们不能再一起去吃饭一起说说笑笑

好像走出彼此的世界了

我们不能一起考试一起努力一起奋斗

好像现在已经完全脱离过去了

我们不再有小矛盾也不再笑的那么肆无忌惮

好像身边少了一些什么但也不那么重要了

我们不能一起犯错一起哭

好像那只属于过去的不成熟

好像青葱岁月只留下斑驳的记忆

我们都有了

新的生活新的环境新的朋友

我们都在面对新的事新的人陪在

我们身边分享着我们的喜怒哀乐

有时候也会想起

想起曾经的我们

有时候一个小物品就会勾起一大串一大串的回忆

关于你关于我们

甚至连那一句话都记得清楚

当时的笑当时的闹

时间改变了什么

其实什么都没有

时间让我们从过去到现在

冲淡的是回忆带不走的也是回忆

亲爱的你们

感激遇到你

陪我走过那一段长长的路

那时的我幼稚不成熟那时的我遇到一个又一个坎

是你们陪我成长没有丢下我

如今

大家都在不同的地方不同的环境

渐渐地

渐渐地

不再联系

但空间的每一次更新，相册的每一次更改

个签的每一个变动

都牵动着彼此的心

因为这样，我就知道

远方的你们好或不好快乐或不快乐

原谅

不能时刻陪伴

原谅

那份感情不再浓烈

原谅

或许偶尔想起会感觉孤单

如果有一天

我们再遇见

朋友们

好哥们

好姐们

同桌的你

那当初的一切不会变

谨以此文献给不在身边的你们

复刻青春的回忆

陪我牵手走过的路不会忘记！

有一种感情，不再浓烈，却一直存在

海的女儿...

2010-10-02T18:12:00.002+08:00

　在海的远处，水是那么蓝，像最美丽的矢车菊花瓣，同时又是那么清，像最明亮的玻璃。然而它是很深很深，深得任何锚链都达不到底。要想从海底一直达到水面，必须有许多许多教堂尖塔一个接着一个地联起来才成。海底的人就住在这下面。

　　不过人们千万不要以为那儿只是一片铺满了白砂的海底。不是的，那儿生长着最奇异的树木和植物。它们的枝干和叶子是那么柔软，只要水轻微地流动一下，它们就摇动起来，好像它们是活着的东西。所有的大小鱼儿在这些枝子中间游来游去，像是天空的飞鸟。海里最深的地方是海王宫殿所在的处所。它的墙是用珊瑚砌成的，它那些尖顶的高窗子是用最亮的琥珀做成的；不过屋顶上却铺着黑色的蚌壳，它们随着水的流动可以自动地开合。这是怪好看的，国为每一颗蚌壳里面含有亮晶晶的珍珠。随便哪一颗珍珠都可以成为皇后帽子上最主要的装饰品。

　　住在那底下的海王已经做了好多年的鳏夫，但是他有老母亲为他管理家务。她是一个聪明的女人，可是对于自己高贵的出身总是感到不可一世，因此她的尾巴上老戴着一打的牡蛎——其余的显贵只能每人戴上半打。除此以外，她是值得大大的称赞的，特别是因为她非常爱那些小小的海公主——她的一些孙女。她们是六个美丽的孩子，而她们之中，那个顶小的要算是最美丽的了。她的皮肤又光又嫩，像玫瑰的花瓣，她的眼睛是蔚蓝色的，像最深的湖水。不过，跟其他的公主一样，她没有腿：她身体的下部是一条鱼尾。

　　她们可以把整个漫长的日子花费在皇宫里，在墙上生有鲜花的大厅里。那些琥珀镶的大窗子是开着的，鱼儿向着她们游来，正如我们打开窗子的时候，燕子会飞进来一样。不过鱼儿一直游向这些小小的公主，在她们的手里找东西吃，让她们来抚摸自己。

　　宫殿外面有一个很大的花园，里边生长着许多火红和深蓝色的树木；树上的果子亮得像黄金，花朵开得像焚烧着的火，花枝和叶子在不停地摇动。地上全是最细的砂子，但是蓝得像硫黄发出的光焰。在那儿，处处都闪着一种奇异的、蓝色的光彩。你很容易以为你是高高地在空中而不是在海底，你的头上和脚下全是一片蓝天。当海是非常沉静的时候，你可瞥见太阳：它像一朵紫色的花，从它的花萼里射出各种色彩的光。

　　在花园里，每一位小公主有自己的一小块地方，在那上面她可以随意栽种。有的把自己的花坛布置得像一条鲸鱼，有的觉得最好把自己的花坛布置得像一个小人鱼。可是最年幼的那位却把自己的花坛布置得圆圆的，像一轮太阳，同时她也只种像太阳一样红的花朵。她是一个古怪的孩子，不大爱讲话，总是静静地在想什么东西。当别的姊妹们用她们从沉船里所获得的最奇异的东西来装饰她们的花园的时候，她除了像高空的太阳一样艳红的花朵以外，只愿意有一个美丽的大理石像。这石像代表一个美丽的男子，它是用一块洁白的石头雕出来的，跟一条遭难的船一同沉到海底。她在这石像旁边种了一株像玫瑰花那样红的垂柳。这树长得非常茂盛。它新鲜的枝叶垂向这个石像、一直垂到那蓝色的砂底。它的倒影带有一种紫蓝的色调。像它的枝条一样，这影子也从不静止，树根和树顶看起来好像在做着互相亲吻的游戏。

　　她最大的愉快是听些关于上面人类的世界的[欣赏雨季爱情故事网]生活着一些孩子。每一天如果我们找到一个好孩子，如果他给他父母带来快乐、值得他父母爱他的话，上帝就可以缩短我们考验的时间。当我们飞过屋子的时候，孩子是不会知道的。当我们幸福地对着他笑的时候，我们就可以在这三百年中减去一年；但当我们看到一个顽皮和恶劣的孩子、而不得不伤心地哭出来的时候，那未每一颗眼泪就使我们考验的日子多加一天。”

Are you smiling my friends??

在我醉梦如痴中对找和回味着真挚的友情——朋友。那温馨的风把她从人群引来相识。

　　也许是缘份，我们各从天边相聚到同一专业，记得高一那会，她是个性格孤僻的女孩子，很少有人能接近她，或许是因为她一心专于学习忽略了身边所有的人，我和她认识是一次偶然，虽是同一个专业，但我听说过她的性格也不敢有意接近，一次集体大扫除，她来晚了，我无意间用扫除的工具与她勾通。后来我们是不是很多时间一起聊天，但偶尔也有一两次才发现她本是一和蔼可亲的人，一直以来我们谈论人生、前程，不成熟的人谈些成熟的话题。那时候，课堂上的我总不安分，野马般不就范于严谨的栅栏，与老师“反斗”也是常事。课堂上的她，却神情专注，听老师把疑难的迷雾扫去，透出明澈如水晶智慧的湖面。她总是劝我“认真学习”我们若不是推心置腹的朋友，也算有话就说的朋友。我们相互指出对方的不足或缺点。有时也谈论一些相互投机的话题，有一次同末由于我家离学校很远，所以没有回家，她也在学校转攸。我们一起聊了很久，自己的人生观，爱情观，当到感情时你好像遇到知已侃侃而谈。后来我发现她是个重情多情的人，到高三时补课我没有回家和几个朋友合租了一间房，你当然怕我混出事来还叫我不住哪里，到你家去住，我当时真的很感动。也许是你不放心你那时常来我那里说帮我补外语，由于我根基太差，天生又讨厌那26个英文字母，让她失望了。我总是扯她后台，因为我怕她教我学外语。要么我教她打牌，要么我教她下棋，反正就不学外语。记得有次她还帮我们做饭，有时帮我洗衣服，想起这样，自己今生有这样一个异性朋友，足矣。在憧憬中守着一方净土，润育着诗情，那时我总喜欢写一些不成熟的诗，她也是我忠实的读者。朋友羞涩的流露捅情感变成符号很难时，自己就捧着哪份撞得在呻吟的文字，为了友情踏入那扇敞开的门，只好求助于网络与纸笔了，在无聊的时候我总是想起她。

　　今天我们各奔东西，你身后的每一段往事，每一个足迹，每一个幻想，每个欢欣，每一个微笑，都溶缩在我的情感空间，我怕笔力不够，写不出哪时的真实情感所以你——永远的朋友，你在我的记忆深处。一幕幕往昔的情景，荡起忆念岁月中的层层涟漪，又在我眼前闪过，它永远是我人生之旅的风景，茫茫思路中温馨的驿站，许多时候许多事情我无以言表，但所有一切永远在我心中。我们曾距离得近，有许多心灵沟通的相似之处。记得上次上学时在火车站与你一见而又匆匆而去。但外在的境遇，机缘并不重要，重要的是我们的友谊之树常青。不会被风霜雪雨所改变，因此才能留下那些高贵的最真实的东西……

　　许多时候想和你说很多的话，但此时纵有千言万语却难呈于笔端，所有的所有，一切的一切，想说的、要说的，疑聚成一句话“你还好吗”短暂的时光并不代表友谊，永远的岁月却代表永远的回忆，深深的祝福给你，美好的祝愿给你，朋友，请用心去感应，让我们之间纯真的友谊万古常青。一直到老去。朋友愿你一生快乐，一定要笑噢！朋友在笑吗？所心所欲。

Japan would be the place I want to be...

2010-09-27T10:55:00.000+08:00

When you hear the word 'Japan', what do you think of? Does your mind fill with images of ancient temples or futuristic cities? Do you see visions of mist-shrouded hills or lightning-fast bullet trains? Do you think of suit-clad businessmen or kimono-clad geisha? Whatever image you have of Japan, it's probably accurate, because it's all there. But you may also have some misconceptions about Japan. For example, many people believe that Japan is one of the world's most expensive countries. In fact, it's cheaper to travel in Japan than in much of North America, Western Europe and parts of Oceania. Others think that Japan is impenetrable or even downright difficult. The fact is, Japan is one of the easiest countries in which to travel. It is, simply put, a place that will remind you why you started travelling in the first place.

If traditional culture is your thing, you can spend weeks in cities such as Kyoto and Nara, gorging yourself on temples, shrines, kabuki, ō (stylised dance-drama), tea ceremonies and museums packed with treasures from Japan's rich artistic heritage. If modern culture and technology is your thing, Japan's cities are an absolute wonderland - an easy peek into the future of the human race, complete with trend-setting cafés and fabulous restaurants. Outside the cities, you'll find natural wonders the length and breadth of the archipelago. From the coral reefs of Okinawa to the ski-resort of Niseko, Japan has more than enough natural wonders to compete with its cultural treasures. Then there's the food: whether it's impossibly fresh sushi in Tokyo, perfectly battered tempura in Kyoto, or a hearty bowl of rāmen in Osaka, if you like eating you're going to love Japan.

But for many visitors, the real highlight of their visit to Japan is the gracious hospitality of the Japanese themselves. Whatever your image of Japan, it no doubt exists somewhere on the archipelago - and it's just waiting for you to discover it!

许文强是个幸福的男人。家有娇妻。外有情人。可谓春风得意马蹄急。许文强没想到的是，他包养二奶的事被单位的领导知道了。领导把他狠批了一顿后，就派他去外地学习半年。

临走，许文强给了二奶一笔钱，算是把二奶打发了。在去外地学习的这半年中，许文强常常扪心自问，觉得自个儿做得是有些过火。妻子对他很说得过去。饭就饭，衣就衣。从没对他使过性子。既使在得知他在外边有了情人，也没到单位上大吵大闹。倒是他妻子的妹妹，那可不是个好缠的主儿，一会儿跑到他的单位上弄得满城风雨，一会儿又去他给情人租的房子里砸东西。最后，还是妻子出面劝说，再加上他答应和情人一刀二断，小姨子这才算是消停了。

现在，许文强终于在外地学习完了。坐在回家的火车上，他一会想想这，一会想想那，心潮起伏，难以平静。他随身带的挎包里，除了日常换洗的衣服外，他还特意给妻子买了一件价格不菲的连衣裙。他在路上就想好了等会儿见了妻子的面，他要说的第一句话，就是：“我以后再也不会做对不住你的事了。我要好好的爱你一辈子。”

许文强最怕小姨子在他家。因为他平时打电话给妻子时，有好几次是小姨子接的。看来小姨子是常来他家陪妻子的。每次小姨子在电话上都要对他冷嘲热讽一番，不是问他又在外边包养了几个二奶，就是问他是不是吃错了药，竟知道给家里打电话了，是不是太阳打西边出来了呀。那个姑奶奶只要一在电话里听到他的声音，就像机关枪一样突突突一阵狂轰乱炸。他也想好了对付小姨子的话，他会对伶牙利齿的小姨子说：“毁灭人只要一句话，培植一个人却要千句话，请你多口下留情。”如果小姨子根本不吃这一套，那他就一本正经地告诉小姨子：“一个人如果不能从内心去原凉别人，那他就永远不会心安理得。原凉别人，就是给自己心中粝驴占洹！?/DIV>

火车终于到站了。他兴高采烈地赶回家，为了给妻子一个惊喜，他没按门铃，而是悄悄用钥匙轻轻打开了房门。他刚来到客厅，就看见书房的门虚掩着，从里边传来妻子一阵又一阵开怀的笑声。他以为是妻子在和小姨子说话，可是却忽然听到了一个陌生人的说话声：“我喜欢你。我要好好的爱你！”他又听到妻子说：“我也喜欢你！从第一眼看见你，我就喜欢上你了。”

他一时愣在那里，不知如何是好。他悄悄退出房门，又悄悄来到楼下。他一时百感交集，怪不得妻子自从发现他有了外遇后，一直没大动肝火，原来妻子早就也在外边有情人了。真是知人知面不知心。要不是自己回来碰上，打死他也不会相信，妻子会在家悄悄和人幽会。想到这里，他从兜里掏出手机，当手机里传来小姨子说话的声音时，他没敢说是让小姨子来帮着他捉奸。他只是用很着急的口气说：“我刚进家，你姐姐犯病了。发高烧。我正在楼下等出租车，你快来！”小姨子的单位离许文强的家很近的，没过几分钟，小姨子就匆忙赶来了。“姐姐怎么了？”小姨子问。许文强依然不动声色。他漫不经心地说：“她身体不舒服，在家躺着呢。我想和你商量一下，看是不是送医院。”

小姨子柳眉倒竖：“你脑子有毛病了，你刚才在电话上不是说我姐发高烧吗？现在你倒像个没事人一样，你巴不得我姐早死呢。你好再去寻花问柳。”小姨子气呼呼地上楼去了。

许文强紧跟在小姨子的后面，心想，我看你今天如何收场。你不是看我不顺眼吗？那你今天就看看你姐姐做下的好事吧。就是这个被你天天夸得像花一样的姐姐，现在正在家里偷人呢。我看你今天这个奸怎么个捉法。小姨子刚想敲门，许文强说：“你姐在床上躺着呢，不要惊动她了。我来开门。”

许文强轻轻打开房门，看见妻子正在擦地板。一看见他们两个人，妻子就笑逐颜开，说：“咋回来也不和我说一下，我好到车站接你。”

小姨子有点丈二和尚摸不着头，问妻子：“我姐夫打电话让我快过来，说是你发高烧，你们俩口子到底葫芦里卖的什么药啊？我都被你们搞糊涂了。”

妻子好生纳闷，她问许文强：“我好好的，谁告诉你我发高烧了呀？”许文强这下傻眼了。他不死心，就屋里屋外到外找，心想，我一直没敢离开楼梯口，难道和妻子说话的那个人会插翅飞了不成？当他找到阳台上时，发现有一个鸟笼，里边养了个八哥，他还没等到到笼子跟前细看，就听那个巧八哥忽然间在笼子里对他说：“我爱你。我喜欢你。”许文强这下明白了，原来刚才和妻子说话的人就是这个巧八哥呀。妻子这时也来到了阳台上，她对许文强说：“你这一走，就是大半年，我一个人实在是太闷了，就买了这只鹦鹉陪我说话。这几天知道你快回来了，我就教它说一些让你听着高兴的话呢。”

许文强说：“不错不错。刚才它正在和我说呢。”

妻子又悄悄问许文强：“你咋骗我妹妹干啥。我这不是好好的吗？”

许文强到底是许文强，他平时脑瓜子就好使唤的像按上轴承一样。他说：“是这样的，我为小姨子买了一件连衣裙，又怕她不肯赏我脸，就想起来骗她过来。要不，我怕她根本不愿意来见我。”

妻子说：“你看你，把事情都搞复杂了。直接告诉她不就行了。”

许文强说：“我在逗她呢，看她是不是对你这个一母同胞的亲姐姐上心。再说，偶尔开开玩笑，娘子就不要怪罪郎君了。”

这时，就听那只巧八哥又在一遍一遍地说：“不怪不怪，郎君郎君，我喜欢你。我爱你．．．．．．”

许文强开怀大笑，笑完，他想让小姨子也过来听巧八哥说话，却发现小姨子早走了。妻子说：“她让你气跑了。”

许文强说：“我过一天再给她打电话，让她来拿连衣裙。”

妻子说：“看把你能的吧。好好的一件事，让你办砸了。”

许文强说：“没事没事。姐夫小姨子挤眼弄鼻子。”

这时，笼子里的巧八哥又说：“姐夫小姨子姐夫小姨子．．．．．．”

生命中总有许多来来往往的人，就像我们走路时马路上那些过客，有与我们背道而行的，也有与我们走向同一个方向的。

　　与我们背道而行的，也许我们转瞬即忘，岁月的风，会把他们吹到我们记忆的边缘，甚至是我们的记忆之外。也许，在生命中的某一天里，我们也还会偶尔地想起一些模糊的影子来，但也只是偶尔地想一下而已，他们在我们身后，已离我们越来越远。即使他们因为某些原因又重新折回来，可因为我们已相隔得太远了，也早已无法追得上。

　　那些与我们同行的，有的与我们擦肩而过，有的也许会陪我们走一段距离。但时间都不会太长，人生的道路上岔道太多，在每一个路口，我们的选择都会不同。你选择了这条路，他选择了那条路，于是，只有分手。新的道路上，当然还会有新的同行者，可也同样还会有新的岔路口。　　

　　正是因为有了友情，我们才能感受到人与人之间的温馨。我们的内心仿佛是一只因常常积满忧虑和无奈而倍感沉重的杯子，只有那些为了友槎旄颐堑乃郑旁敢庹娉系奈颐堑箍照庵槐樱顾煳亢颓崴伞?/P>

　　正是因为有了友情，我们才能更加感受到做人的尊严和光荣。我们的内心仿佛是一本很厚很厚的书，只有那些和我们的心灵撞出了友情之火的心灵，才会愿意打开这本厚书仔细地阅读和真诚地评注。通过他的评注，我们明白了哪些是该删除的文字；通过他的评注，我们知道了该怎样才能用自己的生命之笔创造出不朽的杰作。

　　在这个世界上，一想到除了亲人之外还有人在关心着我们的灵魂，我们的心灵怎能不燃烧？一想到除了亲人之外还有人在关注着我们的精神世界，这怎能不使我们感到快乐和幸福？一想到除了亲人之外还有人为我们的失败和成就而叹息和祝福，这怎能不使我们感到骄傲和激动？亲情是来自于血缘，而友情却是来自于苍茫人海中的一种美妙的机缘，来自于对彼此荣与辱的分享和分担，来自于彼此对对方人格的尊重和对内心的理解。

　　友情的根是植于高尚的精神，而不是植根于低俗的利欲；友情是彼此为对方吹响的鼓舞前进的号角，而不是相互利用的工具；友情是彼此为对方美好的情操而唱的赞歌，而不是相互间的哄骗和吹嘘；友情是为了使朋友之间成为彼此的纯洁品行的一面镜子，而不是为了使彼此成为对方恶行的帮凶……

　　拥有了友情，就如青山拥有了奔腾的小溪；拥有了友情，就如帆船拥有了顺风；拥有了友情，干渴的旅行者拥有了清泉；拥有了友情，在这个世界上，我们的灵魂就不再是形单影只；拥有了友情，就会有人在我们成功的时候穿过嫉妒的人丛为我们献上一束鲜花，在我们失败痛苦的时候为我们抚平伤痕。

Love stories..!!

2010-09-26T08:59:00.000+08:00

寡独的黄昏里，戴着厚厚的耳机凝立于深巷中。手机上你的名字在不停地闪烁，不想接，不想……

懂了，只是太迟了。在我流下眼泪的一瞬间，我放弃了你。你让我爱的没有尊严，没有快乐，没有自由。你说我像一粒纽扣，离开了衣服便不再存有价值。只是，你我并不匹配，所以我只是一个替代品，一直沉溺于幸福的替代品。或许你已经关上了心门，又或许是我的爱给你捆绑，让你窒息，我们之间似乎只有沉默，沉默，抑或争吵。你是一枚风化的青果，不再复萌，不再回转。

现在我们只是朋友。

1年前。

我在手机停机的时候给你打过好多个电话，明明知道拨不通，手心竟也紧张的直冒冷汗。我怕你烦，只能在一个人停机时候肆无忌惮的释放对你的想念，可你总不给我机会，所以我只好让自己停机……因为你从来不会主动找我，我不担心你会因此着急。看着屏幕上你的名字，我偷偷的笑了，我喜欢你，你这傻瓜竟然不知道。那晚，我对你撒了谎，你知道了却没有说什么，是不在乎还是替我隐藏？只是那是我27号的真实感受，本来那晚就想发讯息给你的，可我怕，因为我知道你要考试。7月1号晚上，看着你主动打来的电话，我犹疑的挂断，即使在心里咒骂自己千百遍……不想让你生气，我匆忙给你发讯息，谁知你再一次打来，我不经意接通了，害怕，紧张，欣喜，听到你的声音，我的心在颤抖……4年没见，你变了好多。只是你的话中似乎藏匿着好些无奈，听到你说累，我竟然感觉比你还难过。傻瓜，其实你不用什么事都一个人去咀嚼，去认知的，我一直都在，你可以慢慢想慢慢讲……

或许就是这样，我们成了恋人。

只是我真的读不懂你。你曾经问我为什么喜欢黑夜?因为你。因为你，我变得爱哭，因为你，我学会匿影藏身。我喜欢被黑夜包裹的感觉，即使我泪流满面，你也看不到我的矫情与懦弱。或许你真的不应该给我机会走进你的世界，而我就像飞蛾扑火，义无反顾的走了进去。

爱到深处人寂寞。我只是想穿着肥肥的衣服，跨着大大的包，带着相机，跟你一起去旅行，只是透过镜头，我看到的是略带倦意的你，强装欢笑的你。我只想让你快乐，所以我想应该给你足够的空间时间去思考。我走了，一个人去旅行。漫游在我们曾经畅想的地方，香港，东京，法国……只是你会想我吗？

我知道你不会的，因为你的身边已经有了她。而我，却也只能给你街角的祝福……

About me me...

2009-04-11T10:05:00.003+08:00

Heya, guys!

It's been long time didnt see your all... everyone are so busy with their schedules. Almost lost themselves and Lixian's photos come at the right time. Bring up all memories. Now the facebook become Gamma forum. It is a good thing, dont make me wrong. It just that my mailbox floated with all the mails. Can u imagine 200 plus unread mail?!

Anyway, i just want to drop by to tell how i am doing now... My days are past by doing homeworks and tonnes of articles and books need to read. But somehow the laziness kick in, i got distracted by TV drama, esp the hong kong one.

Another 10 days more is my tests again and here i am still blogging.. hehe..

This week our teacher give back our result for last time one. For every 3 papers, my lecturers give us long long lecture.... it make us so guilty. At that time i actually feel like i am back to primary school. NAG NAG....

My friends, just in case u all didnt take note in newspaper. There is a begger, dressed in grey top and black bottom, is actually a con man. He takes advantage of our sympathies. HE IS NOT LIMP. He is pretending. I saw him with my own eyes, he walk like normal people. So remember not to give him any money. The last time i saw him is at Wong Soon Kee cafetarie, ss14 and summit there.

Emm.. i got nothing to tell u all about me now. I will update ur all about me if when i am free...hehe

Take care my friends!

Anatomy of a dead cow...

2009-03-04T18:23:00.001+08:00

This is something that most 1st sem vet students don't get to do, especially NOT on their 1st week. In fact, its really rare that an opportunity like that came up for us, though it's at the expense of another being; namely a cow with terminal cancer.

And so today...

I Did A Rectal On A Dead Cow!!!!!!!!

What's a rectal, I hear?

Well, behold..the glamorous act that all vets have to do......

This poor cow was brought in this morning for euthanasia. Apparently, she had cancer...there was a tumour in her bladder. I really felt a pang, seeing her hung up, lifeless...

That's the bladder (the pink rubbery thing), and the gross blackish stuff is the tumour.

After the euthanasia, the cow was sent to the anatomy dissection lab for the 4th year Vet students. According to the lecturer, it was very rare for such a huge cow to be brought in, and therefore it really was a golden opportunity to observe.

We 1st years were notified of it as well, and invited to have a look at the cow. Only a few of us went, however, as our classes ended early and everyone was really exhausted. I was pretty drowsy too, but I really don't regret going to the Anatomy Dissection lab for this; it really was an amazing opportunity!! Ok, it was not a lesson at all; we've barely touched anything on anatomy yet. But then again, how many people can actually have a hands-on lesson on cattle anatomy, and do a basic rectal on their FIRST WEEK of Vet School?

So there I was...sticking my arm into the cow's rectum all the way up to my shoulder. Its really cramped in there, and the 4th years were telling us how much worse it'd be if the cow were alive...they'll clamp down on your arm entirely!! The 4th year gave me some directions; we tried to locate the cervix, uterine horn, etc etc and during my second try, I found the kidneys! Didn't quite find the ovaries, though...lol...and btw, here you can see the huge rumen of the cow. Its actually filled with gas due to the decompostion, and when the lecturer punctured a hole in it, the smell that wafted out was awful!!! Oh man, my shirt still smelt of it after I got home...

And here you can see the liver, the gallbladder, the abomasum, the pig's ear, and a bit of the duodenum. Man, I learnt a lot about cow anatomy today...

I actually feel really really bad for the cow. To think that this morning she was still alive...and now she's strung up in such an undignified position. Rest in peace...your contribution to education will never be forgotten...

UQ - Brisbane

2009-02-19T19:31:00.003+08:00

Shu Ning scrawls:

Lol...update, guys...its been MONTHS....

I'm hailing here from Brisbane. Finally got all the bank accounts, internet, and phone settled, so I'm back in touch with the rest of the world.

Things are going pretty good so far. I've got nice housemates, and the place I'm currently staying at is pretty convenient. Its right in front of a Supermarket, and about 15 minutes walk to my Veterinary Faculty.

Orientation will start this Monday. So for now, I don't really have much to do apart from onlining, reading, ATTEMPTING to cook...etc etc....

Most of our food is still instant stuff: Spaghetti...ABC Soup...Lasagne...Pizza, Garlic Bread and soup...etc etc...

Here are some pics taken in the airport before we left:

Some pics of UQ...

And pics of my house and room:

How's everyone?? Hope everyone's doing great...^^

Cat Graduation 2008

2008-10-02T09:36:00.003+08:00

Hiee, my friends...

It's been longggg time tat i didnt blog..

This is cause by my super tied schedule. Just try to imagine every month got tests.... ( sunway tes much more worse than Lick Hung's life...- more kiau su.. haha)

my apologise to Sharon for didnt turn up for her birthday dinner.. hope she like the present tat i shared with tan yang.

On the same day, i have a graduation ceremony to go.

Sometimes i think Sunway management is " real good", i got test to do on the very same day. That test really drive me up to hill... extreamly tough... My mood for the graduation almost got spoilt because of that.. -.-"

The graduation ceremony is great, my friends and i have a very good time. But the food provided by the sunway hotel ( i think) is terrible... almost ALL the food are yuck yuck.... their vegetable looks yellowish, some not cooked, still raw... the only tat is edible is the desserts and fruits.

They serve lots of type of desserts. Only the fruit cheese pic look appetizing to me... therefore tat is my only dinner... pityful , right??

Else that, it is a nice experience although i am not entitled to wear the motherboard yet.. it is a very aspiring... In the near future, i will be the main character on that day!

There are more photos in my facebook... Go check it out...

Hon present...

2008-06-25T14:19:00.009+08:00

On the 22/6, me, Xian and tan yang went to pyramid. We didn’t go there for karaoke neither for skiing. But on the mission to search for Hon birthday present!! (haha.. sound serious.. lol)
Below are the present we got for him.

Diesel Sling Bag. We decided to get this after Tan Yang modelling with it. * Think harder for those with clean mind* i myself have to think for a while to get the meaning

We went to Mark & Spencer. Guys, you all really should go in there as they sell foods from Britain and it is interesting. You wouldn’t find these from local supermarket. Specially recommend...

Special thanks to tan yang a.k.a Patrick Wong (his English name was given by his supervisor) for being our driver.

Patrick Wong & Patrick the Dog!!

Lelong... anyone interested?? only worth Rm 49.90. Special discount!!!

Look at what we found in pyramid! Mickey and Minnie!! haha.. reminds me about Hidden mickey that we used to play

The trio enjoying ice-cream... *yummy* A group of teenagers passed by,look at us strangely,perhaps thinking "what a bunch of weirdo.." haha
Mr. Bean' car!! Xian, your dream car?? =p

class trip-Tioman island (by Lixian)

2008-06-24T13:24:00.013+08:00

Since it's d end of A-Levels,my class decided to organise a class trip to Tioman Island...Ming Chu said she's quite surprised tat my parents actually allowed me to go for a trip with frens...Ya,it's kinda true...I was kinda afraid to ask for their permission b4 tat too..It's my 1st trip without d supervision of adults... I was in d organising team...I checked online, booked hotel rooms,plane tickets etc....=)*feel proud*Saying d truth,it was quite mafan & frustrated to do all these,esp during exam period...but i learnt a lot from tat..
D trip is supposed to be 3 days 2 night(19th-21th,Thurs-Sat).Our plan is to take Thurs early morning flight to Johor airport,den take a van to Mersing port.From Mersing,there'll be a ferry picking us up to Tioman...Coming back tat time,it's much more simpler-jz take a bus from Mersing,straight back to Pudu,KL.
It's a 7.25am flight,mz reach KLIA at least 1 hour ago...My dad was afraid to drive to KLIA early in d morning...Bcos in d dark,d road to KLIA might be vry dangerous,hided with robbers.... So 2 of my frens-Mic&Henna stayed in Concorde Hotel near KLIA on Wed with me,and on Thurs,v can straight go to KLIA ny taking d hotel shuttle bus..So for 3 of us,it'll be a 4days 3 nite trip=)Whereas d other 4 guys will be going KLIA with Hema,fetched by Hema's dad..
Well,i think i jz give an overall story for this whole trip....Tioman is actually quite a nice & clean island....d seawater is clear,fishes are cute,rocks are natural,beautiful scenery.... We din reli do much things on d 1st day,jz played in d beach,took lots of pic,climbed d rocks etc...n shared ghost stories at nite.. I dun like ghost stories,u all(esp Goon) know tat rite...So i jz closed my ears with earphone,and listen to songs from hp=.=
D next day was full of activities...We went snorkeling,canoe-ing,bond fire,walked by d beach at nite etc.....We were all tired....Almost everyone except me got sun-burn...I'm d lucky 1.Haha....
On sat,v took d earliest ferry back to Mersing..Den v took bus back to Pudu,another bus back to Sunway....In Sunway pyramid,tat's d place v said bye bye...It was an emo scene..It's reli hard to say bye rather than hi.....
I posted some of d trip photos here...To view more pic/more detailed story,jz go to my blog....(but actully i haven post anything in my blog yet,will do it a bit later)^^

My graduation night-by Lixian

2008-06-24T00:34:00.020+08:00

15th of June was one of d significant day in my life..It's d day tat represent d end of my A-levels life-Graduation day... Coincidentally tat day was also d Father's Day-3rd Sun in June.I felt sorry for not being to celebrate it with my lovely dad...

Well,i was very rush on tat day,from morning till nite...Morning(bout 7.35am-12noon),i went for my driving lesson...Den went back home & had my lunch b4 doing some cloths washing..At bout 1 smthg,my dear sis brought me to pyramid & quickly search for suitable dress..(luckily v managed to find it on time.Yes it was reli last min,but it's bcos i dun have time to shop b4 tat)... Reach home at bout 4smthg,quickly bath,dress up&put a lit make up...

Hema&Jin hoe(will show u all who r they later) were supposed to gathered at my hse,and v planned to go to Sheraton together...But Hema FFK us...So i went with Jin only...Felt reli sorry&guilty for making him to wait for so long...Gurls ma..a bit 'mo'.Hehe...

This graduation was kinda weird.It started at 6smthg and ended at 9smthg....Very early...D dinner was a Chinese course with sharkfin,fish,mushroom,prawn,fried rice,tong sui,etc...We were all sat according to classes and mentor...Unfortunately our whole class(17 ppl) can't sit together...I was sitting in d S3 table,but Ee Wen,Hema,Saw Tin,Henna&Nick were been separated from us....There were a few performances,den ceremony for graduating students,Best student award etc....Meanwhile,some videos were projected up too...A few classes(including my class) did our own class video for this graduation nite,but unfortunately due to d short of time,they only showed d video tat consists of d combination of every class video....=(

After d dinner,dance floor was opened....At d same time,someone requested to play d class videos for everyone to view....There wasn't many ppl in d hall tat time,some went back,some went out to take pic...V managed to enjoy S4/S5 class video&of cos our own S3 ones....Luckily there's only a few ppl in d hall,cos very pai seh...esp my part in d video...=.=

Saying d truth,i wasn't very emo after this Graduation nite,cos i know there's still a class trip after tat....But after d class trip.................(will talk bout tat in d next post)

Below r d photos....enjoy! If there's any ugly pic of mine,jz ignore it..Haha...

ming chu in Bangkok

2008-06-11T18:42:00.003+08:00

Hi, guys! As I promise, I will show the photos that I took in Bangkok. (For your information, I went to Bangkok at Labours day. That’s way to treat myself.)

Since it is happen way back ago, I try to remember things that happen.

Bangkok airport is very much bigger than us and so much longer. Just imagine there are escalators, not for going up but just to reach the other end.
Almost everywhere you could see the ‘kulit wayang’ puppets. (Their symbols) But the face expression is not as fierce as the “wayang kulit” one.

On the way to the hotel, I manage to notice that most of the cars on the road are Toyota. (Ps no proton there. I saw none. I expect there are Savvy cars driving around since they say it is quite popular. Tssk…disappointed) their taxis are noticeable as they are in bright pink, yellow, blue and green and it is also Toyota….

From the airport to the hotel, we have to travel almost half an hour. No traffic jam, it just the airport is located at the outskirt or the hotel is.

Lot of overhead bridge are built. Funny thing was the pillars that support the bridge are in the river or lake. Wouldn’t the steel get rust? Sometimes, you could find children playing soccer under the bridge. It is legal to play there as the goal posts are set up nicely. (A way to utilise place, unlike us, grow plants which eventually will die as lack of sunlight.)
The buildings at outskirt are not as tall in Malaysia.
Even the flats are only three floors high and they are built very close to the bridge.

In towns, you could also find place like Bintang Walk. The shopping malls are like pavilion those types. Classy and expensive. It is the “mah salleh” hang out area. Guess what, the famous “four faces” Buddha are also located there.

Their menus in McDonald are different from us. Else the fried, unhealthy food, they serve cakes. I wanted to snap it down to show you guys but they stop me. Too bad!

The common shops you could find are ‘Robinsons’. Not much retail shops, only Carrefour.

Lots of foods I tasted. Most of the dishes are very spicy, sour and Sweet! Imagine this, they add sugar in the fried rice. (Taste very weird) The way of cooking are limited, fried and grill, most of the time.

A must try dish is the mango with glutinous rice add with santan. It is their specialty. The month of May is mango season so the mango tastes real good. Don’t buy Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee or others coffees cause it taste real plain. Flat! No coffee aroma.

To buy food in food court, you have to buy prepaid card, just like the Hong Kong Octopus card. There is an ice-cream I ate that brag that it wouldn’t fall from the cup when it is in the upside down. (Just believe it, I didn’t experiment it.) Most important thing is it tastes good.

Hikari & Ming Chu's Birthday Celebration

2008-06-01T00:41:00.003+08:00

Here are the pics..

Too lazy to write stuff...I'm still very bloated from all the food just now...*burp*

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Hikari & Ming Chu!!! =) =) =) One year older d...hehehe....

Exam period

2008-05-28T19:29:00.003+08:00

Exam..exam....and exam...Jz if some of u dunno,now Jen,Chu,Sharon,GJ n i r having A2 &AS(Chu) now...

Jz finished 4 papers.After Bio and Chem paper 4,i was so relief..=) So now 4 more papers to go..gambate everyone!!!!

Last Thurs,jz after bio paper4,while my mum came n fetched me from college,she passed me a courier.It was from Monash uni.They offer me d course of Bachelor of Biotech/Bachelor of Medical Bioscience(double-degree),which is my first preference..=) In d letter,it doesn't mention anything about d minimum grade that needed to achieve so as to get into uni.So it shud be a confirm offer gua,not a conditional offer..Hope so,will double check later.

Most probably i'll accept d offer.If i'm going to Monash,it means i'll be starting my uni life on 7th July which is d orientation day..So soon...Means i'll only have 3 weeks break after my A2..Sad case right..Reli have to treasure tat limited break time..Oh,if i accept d offer, i might be d 1st one to step into uni among all my classmates.=.=

*So let us gather during that 3 weeks...=)*

Remember.....

2008-05-28T18:17:00.002+08:00

Remember.....

When we all use to sit together in the Makmal Chem's table...
When we guys use to stay back after school for football....
When Guo Joon always like to go in front of the class to ask question....
When we were all from Different classes before....
When Hon Lin was a bit weird, going around wooing girls...
When Tan Yang Thought Hon Lin was malay....
When some of us use the makmal table as musical instrument....
When we go for chinese class after school..(and come in late always)...
When we started to give our gang people nicknames...and family members...
When u guys took a group picture without me..(that was my fault)...
When we ate Sushi for somebody's birthday..(whose ah??)
When we use to sprinkle water on the birthday boy or girl...

Hehehe....i dunno what to write...so just whack only....this is not an emo post....this is just something stupid i made up....Cheers!!!

Hiko!!

TRAPPED: An experience of being an accidental HOSTAGE....

2008-03-18T12:32:00.005+08:00

Its been ages since I posted here...too lazy...

Yet, somehow I feel that I should post this up...really dramatic, scary, and got me thinking about all my family and friends and what if I didn't get back safely to see everyone again...

I NARROWLY ESCAPED BECOMING A VICTIM IN A MAMAK STALL BRAWL!!!

We had a horrendous maths test, and having stayed back in school until 10pm, Swee Kee, Ying Hui and I decided to head to the nearby Al-Rafi Bistro to get some supper.

The Bistro was jam-packed with people when I got there. Mang Yik was there as well, with her classmates. Hoping for a quieter environment, the three of us entered the so-called "VIP room", ordered some roti canai, and simply sat there; chatting and enjoying the quiet atmosphere (there were only 3 of us in there).

However, after half an hour of waiting for our non-appearing food, we began to get impatient. There was some racket from outside, but I brushed it off nonchalently as probably being some over-excited football fans.

Imagine our shock when suddenly, the waiter burst in and forced the glass door shut. I was still kinda blur, absent-mindedly connecting the waiter uniform and some scrumptious roti-canai. Therefore, it took a while for the sight to sink in.

1. The waiter was TERRIFIED
2. The shop (from our limited point of view) was in CHAOS

And the most terrifying one of all...

3. THERE WAS A MAN HEAVING A CHAIR AT THE GLASS DOOR!!!

Omg, I SWEAR I could see the chair shatter against the glass door; the shards and splinters flying everywhere. And it wasn't just chairs; there were glasses, cutlery, and seemingly, everything that wasn't nailed down in the shop.

For a fragment of a second, I was STUNNED. In fact, my mind registered it as some roughhousing, and not an all-out rampage. The projectiles, the sight of running figures, the loud, furious bellows, and worst of all, the men who were rampaging there, with that crazed look in their eyes...I REALLY COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS CAUGHT IN THEIR MIDST.

The three of us bolted from our chairs, instinctively turning towards the glass panes that led to the walkway. I mean, the wisest thing to do in a situation like this is RUN, right?

Right. The only flaw, was that THERE WAS NO DOOR!!!

IN OTHER WORDS, WE WERE TRAPPED!!!

Man, I'm still searching for the words to describe how I felt at that particular moment. We dashed to the glass panes, searching in vain for a way out or a place to hide. No such luck, as there were no secluded corners, no solid furniture, and the glass panes were way too tough to break.

It hit me that there was no way out. That became the main focus of my mind. We were trapped in this enclosed room with the man those gangsters were so intent at getting at, who could tell what would happen to us once that door gave way? The sight of those crazed, enraged people, their sticks and parangs, and the force with which they were hurling items were mere hints as too what would happen if they came thundering through that door. For a moment, I pictured chairs, tables and glassware flying everywhere...man, we would be badly injured even if we got out of the place alive!!!

Fear is a powerful force. Couple it with sheer shock, and you find yourself propelled into something different through the adrenaline that's coursing through your body. I really can't describe how I truly felt at that point of time, but all I recall is feeling like I'm not myself...a different person...it was as if I was watching myself act in some action thriller, but I wasn't really there.....

We were petrified for several moments; our eyes scanning desperately for an outlet, a hiding place, anything, while darting back anxiously to the thugs thrashing the place. Suddenly, I saw the toilet sign and yelled, "TOILET!! GET TO THE TOILET!!"

The waiter heard it as well, and all of us (Swee Kee, Ying Hui and I, along with the waiter and another malay lady) squashed into the two cubicle toilet. I pushed the lock shut and leaned my weight against the door, praying fervently that the guys wouldn't come and kick the admittedly flimsy toilet door off its hinges. If they did that, why, we would all be sitting ducks...

Mere moments later, we heard a voice outside. It was the friend/boyfriend/husband of the malay lady, telling us to get out quickly. Relieved but shaken, we grabbed out stuff and filed out of our air-conditioned prison throughout the encounter.

The shop was in a mess. The chairs and tables were overturned. Shattered glass was strewn amongst the mess of green ais kacang, and the cashier's display counter was entirely thrashed. We did not give much thought to observation, as people were still in a havoc.

Upon leaving the shop, we saw a man writhing on the ground in obvious pain. His head was bleeding profusely. We found out later on that he was struck down, before being hit ON THE HEAD with a motorbike. I've never witnessed such a bad situation before...the poor guy was in so much pain...

Not daring to stay and look, we returned to a very aroused Akasia. Many of the students who were there in the shop were badly shaken. We were the last to return, and many who heard our tale of being trapped felt that our experience was duly terrifying...we were indeed lucky to return...

Until now, I'm still very unclear of the cause of the brawl. Some say it was due to racism, some due to payment issues, etc etc etc. All the same, I find the commotion utterly uncalled for. For some petty matter, the night was permanantly ruined for so many people, both mentally and physically.

For me, it was an unforgettable experience. It was the very first time I experienced a Hollywood-worthy action scene; being accidentally held hostage in a claustrophobic hell of a room, unable to run nor hide from the reality of the sticks and parangs brandished outside. The notion that you're trapped, facing danger and possible death in the eye...this was something you saw in action thrillers not something that happened in real life...at least that was what I thought...

I'm proud of myself and my friends, though. No one cried, fainted; in fact, we all were maintained our sanity through it all. I now see both of them; Swee Kee and Ying Hui in a new light; new friends, yes, but bonded by trauma...I'm glad I had both of them there. If it was just me, I wonder how much more terrified I would be...Personally, I'm also glad that I'm answerable to myself; that in the face of danger, I spared much thought for my friends' safety, not just my own. I know this sounds dumb, but I would be consumed by guilt now if I knew that during that moment, I thought only for myself. Ignore this..its personal principle of mine that one should never abandon (even mentally) his/her friend in times of trouble, and I'm glad that I've proved to myself that I can stick to it...

As we trudged back, I couldn't help but realise how close we came to not returning safely tonight........The idea is playing in all our minds endlessly; WHAT IF WE DIED TONIGHT?

*********************************

Edit: 19/3/2008

Lee Kuan and the others immediately demanded a full recount of the incident today. Obligingly, I told the story, before settling in for yet another boring day of class.

Suddenly during Physics, yells filled the air, emanated by a boisterous bunch of students that were thrilled that class was over. Normal, yes, but when I heard the sound, a vivid image flashed into my mind. In my mind's eye, I could clearly see the man in the dark clothes heaving the chair at us, that crazed look in his eye, the splinters and shards flying...

The image was so sudden and vivid that I spun around instinctively to look at the friend whom I lived through the ordeal with, Swee Kee. She too had that shocked look on her face and was already staring at me. I knew there and then that the yells had also triggered that same reaction in her...a scar from yesterdays trauma that will probably last for a while...

*********************************

Al-Rafi Bistro seemed very normal today. Everything seemed in order, its a marvel how they managed to clean everything up.

We merely got strains of what happened. Apparently, it had something to do with a group of gangsters that refused to pay the bill for several days. When the manager demanded payment, they thrashed the place and bashed him up. The victim, whose head was hit by the motorbike was none other than the manager. From what we heard, the gangsters even stomped on his head after they hit him. He's in a critical condition, but otherwise ok...

Swee Kee and I were like zombies in class today. We were up until 4 something yesterday; the day's excitement drawn to a close with yet another cat-ching excursion, before we hung around in Swee Kee's place blogging.

2007-12-05T15:57:00.000+08:00

22th Nov 2007
It was d day right after AS exam.One of my Indian classmate,Hema invited our whole class to her house to celebrate Deepavali(i know it was a bit too late).Hehe..

tat day,our crazy classes ended at 4pm.After class,v all except Hema(she went back home to help her mum) went to pyramid n watched 'bee movie'.This movie is ok,not very interesting.but there is a scene where Winnie The Pooh kena shot because he took away those bees' honey.I was shocked at tat scene,kinda *zha dou*.

Around 7pm,Hema came to pyramid n fetch all of us to her house.On d way,v passed by SS18.I showed them SU,was excited.Then my Myanmar fren said if next time i go Myanmar,she'll show me her school.Super malu at tat moment..Dunno why m i so excited to show them my school..

After 20min,v reached her house at Shah Alam.V just ate,chit-chat n played a lame game called shit-head....If there's a chance,i'll teach u all next time if u all r interested.

Last day of 2nd semester:
Since our class ends at 1pm today,part of my class went pyramid.Because I promised my eng lecturer,Mr.Leonard(d weird lecturer,Ming chu,remember him?) to belanja him makan on d same day,so he came along too.At first our plan is to skate after lunch,but lastly d plan was cancelled.Because........There was too many people....See....

We had lunch at Fig&Olive..Sir recommended it.D food is quite ok,price is reasonable...

HORROR in Akasia

2007-09-29T22:21:00.000+08:00

OMG, BREAKING NEWS IN AKASIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extracted from Shiok Shen's blog:

Friday, 28th September was just a day i dreaded most for one simple reason- i watched everything. for those ausmatians who were back at hostel this Friday before ten, i believe you saw it just like what i saw. A worker fell from the roof of Block One, Akasia- the block i am staying in. the scene was gory and i just couldn't stopped feeling horrified and terrified. he was SERIOUSLY injured but he was still conscious. a commotion occurred and all the workers were running frantically. the conctractor was on his phone and ordered his worker to carry him out from the drain. the drain was fulled with blood and half of his head was practically damage. i saw the horrified eyes in all the students at there and how scared we felt at that moment. ambulans arrived about thirty minutes later including the polices, En Hassan, the pak guards, and also the sweepers. i felt sorry for him but i was praying hard for him to be alive even though it was so impossible. I DON'T WANT MY BLOCK TO BE HAUNTED! I DON'T WANT HIS SPIRIT FLYING AROUND MY BLOCK! plz.....pray for him!

GOSH, I would have witnessed the scene as well if I hadn't returned home on Thursday night...cos I didn't have class on Friday...

And the thing is, the worker fell RIGHT OUTSIDE MY LAMAN!!! In other words, right outside the particular section of the block I stay in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Memories of Ju-On spring into my mind...* ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the thing is, I walk from Laman 3 (my laman) to Laman 4 EVERY NIGHT...walking over the EXACT PLACE he fell...Its already creepy enough at night even without this incident...

Makes me wonder if this is the time to pull away, make a choice I don't wanna make...Yet either way will cause trouble...(Ignore this, tq)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not in the mood for blogging so here is a super concise version on today's events.

Treated to breakfast by yen's parents in Old Town Kopitiam, went to Sunway to use the library only to find that the library was closed, went back with yen, li, and their cousin, dropped by USJ8 to buy stuff, car broke down, wait for ages in the hot car, followed yen's dad back to yen's house, sampled li's overly cheesy fettucine for lunch and couldn't finish it, studied, got Secret OST songs from her cousin, played with Metta, have dinner, play Secret OST songs, bathe, blog.

Ja ne, minasan...

SPCA, Gathering

2007-09-26T12:04:00.000+08:00

I seem to be staggering through a haze of exhaustion day by day...

Every morning:

-Get dragged out of bed,
-Stagger all the way to the bus stop,
-In the bus, stagger to class,
-Fall asleep once i reach class,
-Rouse bleary-eyed when teacher enters
-Go back to sleep. (while teacher is teaching)

Not to mention the hacking coughs and occassional painful blocked nasal passage every morning...They think is some sinusitis-related thingy, considering my sinuses tend to feel pressured at the most inconvenient times. I'm not sure though, and frankly, I'm getting tired of it...I can't sleep with air-con or I'll wake up with a nose that is KILLING me...I can't hug my own dogs without sneezing, sniffling, and tearing away...jeez, and I wanna be a vet..............

SPCA was kinda sad today, though....

First there was Benjy. a male lab mix about 1 year old. Hyperactive fellow, full of boundless energy, and greeted me by nearly knocking me off my feet. Frankly, he looked the picture of health, just like any other lab that's overflowing with love. But according to his owner, he has partial trachea collaspe and heart inflammation. O.0"

Not wanting to judge, but the same guy told me his dog was mad for biting stuff and leaping on peole...=_=" (Then what're my dogs, huh???)

Next was the box of TEN puppies brought in b y a couple. Mind you, I was staring at their unique shade of dirty grey until they told me that the pups were originally WHITE!!! (Apparently they fell into a drain a day before...)

It was dead depressing when Rajes put all ten to sleep one by one...I cradled the very last one before turning it to its fate and began my well rehearsed speech on why euthanasia is necessary in SPCA...yada yada yada...

It has become apparent to me that I've hardened a lot since I joined SPCA so many months back. I find myself replying to each horrified "WHAT?? WHY???" from a visitor that has never been exposed to this, with building detachment, still a tinge of sadness, but a resignment that nothing can be really be done. I wonder whether this is good or bad...

10 siblings put to death one after another in the space of 10 minutes. It occured to me how fragile life is, how easy it can be taken away, and how everyone can be blissfully unaware of it...

Then when I was walking near the maternity area, I saw Rovie pacing about. Without any warning, she started straining, something that I wouldn't be worried about except for the fact that the dog had already been given an injection to expel her 3 DEAD puppies a day before! Why was there one more DEAD puppy in her?

EDIT: I CANNOT believe Christina actually said that the pup in that pic looked TASTY....O.o"

The saddest case was a very agressive dog that was brough in, though. Up till now, I have always been able to blame every agressive dog on lousy treatment from its owner. But this time...

A couple brought in a large, sleek mongrel but brutally agressive dog in hope that the SPCA could give their dog a chance to be rehomed. It was a vague chance, considering even their own vet had confirmed that their dog was better off euthanised.

Both Reve and I didn't want to believe it. We tried in vain to approach it, but the dog kept greeting us with bared teeth and threatening snarls, making it very clear that she would not hesitate to rip out a chunk of our flesh if we came any closer. I backed off tactfully, and watched as Reve. the pro in handling difficult dogs tried various methods to win the dog over.

In all my time in SPCA, I have yet to see a dog that Reve cannotwin over. Even Prince, who was too much for even the Doc to handle could be tamed by her (recalls suture removal experience with Prince)

As Reve took Rassi (the aggressive dog) outside with the leash to try and get acquainted, I resigned myself to the task of explaining to the lady why it was kinder to put her dog to sleep if Reve couldn't win her over, that it didn't have one chance in hell to get adopted, and how we couldn't accommodate it for safety and space reasons...She was crying, and as hardened as I said I became after all this while, I felt tears well up in my eyes as well.

I mean, how would you feel if someone came up to you and told you that your beloved dog was going to be put down, and that's because you had to surrender her there because you had to move to an apartment?!

We spent one whole hour with the dog, even letting it off-leash in the back field, and for a while, everything seemed hopeful...

However, aa Reve left the field, the dog attempted a savage bite again, catching onto her shorts. It was official then, that the dog was beyond help. She wasn't biting out of nervousness and fear like many other dogs do...She was biting out of sheer aggression...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mood was kinda gloomy as I returned, and prepared to attend Sharon's birthday party that evening, but that cleared up after a while...

Btw, this is the present we got for her...Nice??

Credits to Christina and Winnie for helping me find it...Hehe...Mind you, it wasn't easy to go hunt for a pillow all around the mall, thn get the shop to design it...

Won't post much on the gathering..mainly the pics...

Oh yeah, in one of the parks near Sharon's house, I saw a white terrier tied to a garbage bin. Now WHAT, can someone tell me, WHAT IS A DOG DOING TIED TO A GARBAGE BIN WITHOUT SHELTER, FOOD, or WATER??!!

It was a young terrier, about 2 years old, seemed well fed, but not really well taken care of as it had matted fur along its legs. As I voiced my displeasure at seeing a dog left out like that, it became quite apparent to me that not many people would bother.

"Aiya, probably just left it there to do business la..."

"Maybe just bathe, so leave it to dry le..."

Well, whatever the excuse, there is no reason to leave a dog outside like that. It could get hurt, it could get sick, it could run away, it could get dognapped, and what if it rained, or the dog got bullied by kids, etc etc...

I called Pris, who understood the gravity of the issue, and told me to take the dog back if no one claimed it.

Well, the owner came quite some time later, and I was QUITE TEMPTED to chide him nicely for leaving his dog out there. However, I ended up not saying anything, but quietly wishing that dog all the best...

The gathering was pretty lively, though I spent most of my time chatting with Kim and Yen. Seems to me that its getting harder to communicate, as I'm way too far from the rest of the group. I'm taking a different course, different lifestyle, different, institution, that its getting harder to catch up with them...

All the same, we still SS-ed a lot. (pics below), and I won one round of Mahjong!!!!! Well, that was by luck, as I couldn't remember how to play, and I had Chu's help as well...hehe...

So yeah, here are the promised pictures of the gathering...(PS: my camwhore skills have improved..I actually managed to fit 5 heads in one pic!!!)

EDIT (C++ class) - Wednesday:

-Lecturer just gave us the most INSANE C++ assignment ever...*dies*...

-My ESLS Issue Analysis interview is done and over with! And I actually ENJOYED IT!!!

-Having a sore throat and runny nose...cold cold cold cold...='(

SPCA News Release - September 5th, 2007
SELAYANG DOG-CATCHING COMPETITION SHOCKING & DISTASTEFUL, SAYS SPCA

SELANGOR, SEPT 5, 2007 – Catch more than 150 stray dogs in 6 months and win more than RM10,000 – this is the promise from Majlis Perbandaran Selayang to the residents in that area. Dato' Tang See Hang officiated the launching of the MPS "Dog-Catching Competition" campaign yesterday at 2pm. This collaborative effort with the residents is to solve this problem by catching more strays. MPS claims that they have been receiving about 80 complaints every month regarding stray dogs in their municipality. They say that they have been catching 200 stray dogs every month as part of their animal-control management, but the problem remains unsolved. Since the announcement, SPCA has been inundated with countless text messages, phone calls and e-mails from the concerned public who are shocked by this unorthodox campaign.

Although SPCA understands that animal control is vital and that the local authorities are faced with increasing stray problems, MPS is setting an unhealthy and unethical trend that encourages people to perceive dog-catching as a fun, festive and financially-rewarding sport, not unlike fox-hunting. SPCA questions the methods that may be employed by the residents, which may cause unnecessary pain and suffering as the dogs may be maimed in the process.

SPCA is deeply concerned that this competition is a knee-jerk reaction to the stray problem, and that more pro-active measures should be implemented such as active sterilisation programs,

differential licensing for neutered and unneutered dogs, responsible pet ownership programs and making abandonment an offence under municipal by-laws. Catching and destruction of strays is never a workable solution, as the animals caught will always be replaced by a new set of strays if irresponsible owners continue to dump unwanted animals into the streets. The cost of clearing the street will continue to escalate. The fact remains : it's cheaper and more effective to neuter than to catch and destroy dogs.

SPCA is worried that greedy residents may also resort to catching pet dogs or dogs from other areas besides Selayang to pad their pockets. Furthermore, the residents may get bitten and injured while attempting to capture the strays. It may backfire and encourage unscrupulous people to breed dogs as it could be lucrative as the competition goes on indefinitely – two unneutered dogs can be the source of 2,048 puppies and dogs in just 4 years.

"Strays are not an animal problem, it's a MAN-MADE PROBLEM. Hence, the prize money could have been put to better use by promoting Responsible Pet Ownership and hosting spay/neuter campaigns instead, which is a humane, cost-effective and long-term solution, " says SPCA Chairperson Christine Chin.

SPCA Selangor has over the years met with various municipal councils to introduce humane dog-catching methods and humane pound management. SPCA and DBKL have established Klinik Kembiri, a highly-subsidised spay/ neuter clinic offering financially-challenged Malaysians highly-reduced spay-neuter fees to help control the over-breeding of cats and dogs, that if not neutered would have added substantially to the stray numbers. This highly-successful, humane and cost-effective method is practiced by animal welfare organisations all over the world. SPCA urges MPS to use the money wisely and work with us to set up weekly spay/ neuter campaigns and eventually a Klinik Kembiri. Since it's inception in 2003, Klinik Kembiri has spayed/neutered thousands of dogs and cats, and thus prevented the unwanted births of over 20 million animals, which would have otherwise caused a bigger stray problem.

The Department of Vet Services (DVS) must issue guidelines on dog-catching/ animal control management where only properly-trained dog-catchers using humane methods and equipment are employed. The pound where the stray dogs are kept should be well-maintained and provide adequate food, water and space to prevent fighting and overcrowding. SPCA has lobbied DVS for many years to establish humane guidelines for local councils in animal-control management. The organisation even went to the extent of organising a dog-catching workshop for all Klang Valley municipal councils in 2005.

On September 11th 2007 (Tuesday) at 10am, SPCA, PETPOSITIVE, ROAR and other animal welfare organisations will be gathering at the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang office to hand over a memorandum to the President of MPS. The document will call for an immediate end to the competition and urge the municipal to spay/ neuter actively to control the dog overpopulation, formulate and enforce effective legislation to prevent pet owners from abandoning their pets, and embark on educational efforts to promote Responsible Pet Ownership. We invite all friends of SPCA, animal welfare groups, animal lovers from far and near and members of the media to come and show your support on this important day.

Let's unite in our stand against the inhumane treatment of stray and homeless animals.

In a Nutshell...

2007-08-21T15:30:00.001+08:00

DIE, C++ ASSIGNMENT, DIE!!!!! Here I'm back, with the wonders of WIFI, friends that love to hang out, and my violin & piano, HOW ON EARTH AM I supposed to complete my assignments??

*looks up creation of the universe in wikipedia*

Oh forget it. Let me just get my blog out of the way before I continue, and try distracting myself from attempting to make AMVs...

So, here begins my holiday, and my extra long post on various aspects of the place I now call "home" 5 days a week...

Muahaha...EXPOSING THE TRUE NATURE OF INTEC UiTM.......*kidding*

In a Nutshell...

A brief intro to the land of Intec-Akasia

National Attire: Long EVERYTHING...Mondays & Fridays-Baju kurung, other days; GET A JACKET!!!

National mode of transportation: Bus

National Animal: Cat

National Dish: Curry. Duh...

National Sport: Wrestling. Faithfully practised every morning while boarding up the bus.

National Attraction: Pasar Malam, once a week

Nation's biggest industry: Photocopy & Dobi

There're more...I'll just add more to the list once I can come up with them...

Bus Rides of Intec

A typical school day would always begin with the rush hour human traffic that all Intec students know very well...

Simple rule: Get up early, and you get the bus. Don't get up early, and well...HAPPY WRESTLING...

Its very common to find people waiting for more than an hour to actually get on the bus successful...

Knowing what a Lan Sui Zhu I am, I would probably be constantly late for class day after day, if it weren't for Jillian and Christina, but more bout that later on, huh?

Example of a crowded bus stand, only this is at night...

And of course, there's the matter of the journey itself, which more often that not usually involves me hanging on for dear life in the seemingly earthquake-ridden aisle, sometimes with armfulls of books and nothing to hold on to. Its always a risk that we'll either kiss the person in front or soar out of the windscreen. But still, its good training...I suppose after 18 months here in Intec, I'll be able to withstand the San Francisco earthquake while sipping Nescafe...

And when we finally get to class...

This is the usual scene in class...a routine I faithfully follow, not that I want to...(PS, this is Christina sleeping...credits to Cassandra for the pic=P)

And Cassandra herself..

Well, I'm definitely not a morning person, and not only does it take ages to wake me up each morning, but it's hell for me to attempt to stay awake in class...I can't help "fishing"...(I need stay-awake pills...someone tell me whether they exist...)

Surviving in my class is no picnic. My classmates are real nice, but its a different plane altogether from Taylor's, Subang Utama, and whatever other schools I've been to. Each time our lecturer leaves the class, many will whip out files, papers, extra homework, etc and continue studying! Its like they've got a built-in motors to study endlessly without getting tired.

Whatever this is, its squeezing my kiasu juices from wherever they are and forcing me to ATTEMPT to work at their level...Credits to them for being really helpful to me, considering I'm gazillion times weaker than them when it comes to Maths...But this is not me, the real me is a play-the-fool-study-last-minute kind, its a horror trying to keep up with everyone's pace...

Food...

As I mentioned earlier, the staple food here is curry. You should see how many different kinds of curry there are during lunch. And the rule of the game is choice: COLD food, or NO food. Either we rush down at 10 to a wide selection of food, take it up to class and eat it COLD at 1pm; or we go down along with everyone else at 1, and risk having NOTHING to eat except for the mystery meat that may turn out to be kidneys, or lungs, or *shudders*...

And of course, if you're skillful enough, *cough hint Christina* there's always a way to "cut cost..."

For dinner, there's a choice of various mamak stalls and nasi goreng shops in the area (its all the same kind of food) unless you can afford the occassional treat of fast food (KFC & McD). And of course, there's the joy of the Pasar Malam which I NEVER fancied before this, but now presents a welcome break from food here..

I miss Taylors, AC, Cabana, and all the other convenient makan places there...=(

Social life.

Ok, contrary to the popular belief that Intec is INFESTED with geeks and nerds of the highest order, I have to say, many of them do NOT qualify as that. IN fact, many of them keep up an amazing social life, don't appear to actually study, but when they return the next day, they've completed their homework (which would later score full marks), as well as studied for next weeks' lessons. I guess I'm worse off than before...classified as a total geek who scores lower than those who take the Minibus to Pyramid every day...

Usually, I hang out with my two Vet Science buddies, Christina & Jillian. Good for me, I suppose, seeing as its only with them that I go out and get fruits, I sleep considerably early, and I get a free alarm clock in the morning...

K, first, Christina, the girl who WHACKS me up without fail each morning with practically everything she can get her hands on...Thank goodness I make up for it for bullying her throughout the day instead...hehe...Unbelievably fickle minded and rather hilarious sometimes...

Jillian. I never did believe this innocent, guai guai looking girl not only watches anime, but is a real gamer as well...Haha...Somehow, a balance among the three of us, in many ways...

Nights with them always involve studying, groans of feeling sleepy, arguing over music, accompanied by Christina's message ringtone in the background...

Ok, frankly, I've really really got loads to write about. The thing is, my assignments are piling up, and unless I get a move on, I'm a GONER. So below are pictures of the dogathon, and the Inpro2007 for Intec students who (very cleverly) missed. It was hell, waiting outside the stadium until 12 something AM for the bus...

Busy busy busy week...Gah...Life here is hard...

First, there was C++ Replacement until 5pm on Monday. And after returning home, exhausted, after a hurried lunch from the Pasar Malam which was probably dirty due to the fogging that was being carried out there, we had to gather in the Akasia compound, feeding our blood to mosquitoes and wasting time entirely...

The next day, there was supposed to be the SAMSA election thingy until SIX PM!!! No way I was going...Too much work and assignments...Christina, Jillian and I escaped at first opportunity...

On Wednesday, it was Ko-PLN again, Ko-kurikulum Pelajar Luar Negara which personally I find as quite a waste of time. And the thing is, my group's facilitator had a meeting that day but it didn't occur to her to inform us! So there we were...suffering in the hot sun while waiting for news from our facilitator until we finally decided to leave. Just then, we got the message from her, telling us that she couldn't make it in time....Gah...this means there'll be replacement PLN sometime soon...More waste of time...

My class was supposed to have replacement Maths class on yesterday afternoon, only there was a talk in the Great hall about 3 unis in Aussie. It didn't offer Vet Science, so Jillian, Christina and I "cabut as well...But at night, there was even a talk at night in the Great Hall until 11PM regarding religion and stuff !!! Jillian went, but Christina and I stayed behind, after asking our classmates to sign the attendance list for us.

Indeed, there's an overload of assignments...

1. Ever growing pile of maths homework which I think is reaching the 400 question mark,
2. Ethics presentation, one hour long presentation along with folio
3. Two page single spacing PLN essay
4. Research for
4. C++ programming rules that I'm struggling to understand
5. Physics homework from Christina's class and intend to complete just to save my dying physics
6. Bio and Chem revision of my A-Levels notes which is appearing to be my lifeline now...

Oh, and I got the results of my first maths quiz back. 85%. At the standard of my absymal maths, and in a NORMAL school, I would have been beyond satisfied. Problem is, my genius classmates were comfortanly scoring 97% - 100% in the very same test...

*dies*

Indeed, everything's different here...Christina said the same when we talked yesterday...I'm walking around school all day with the knowledge that EVERYONE here is a top student of some kind...I meet students who seem like the play-the-fool kind, but emerge the next day with their homework all done...My classmates are the kind who have no qualms about sitting down for 5 hours straight doing homework...Its an immense pressure losing the sense of security that came with being used to sit at the top range among my classmates. I know it sounds cocky, but throughout high school it was always a comforting feeling being at the top that when suddenly, I'm in a place full of students that are at least as good, or far better than me...knowing that I could be one of the dunces among the born geniuses here...I guess that's making me work like I've never done before...but its making me far more exhausted than ever...

Jeez...now I know what Faye feels like, being in a class full of MARA scholars....

SPCA, PJ Philharmonic Performance

2007-08-01T11:09:00.000+08:00

And what are you staring at?

So Devil (now renamed Sox) is safely in SPCA, and establishing itself as the noisest kitten there. The little rascal absolutely REFUSED to stop meowing unless I released her out of the cage and carried her. And as usual, more animals in SPCA caught my eye. One of them was a lovely creamish brown mongrel in Post Operative, who was giving me half-hearted growls along with fearful licks throughout the time I was at her cage. It was only after talking to her for quite some time that she finally allowed me to pat her head, unleashing a loving animal that kept licking my hand in response. Another abuse victim, judging from her fearful demeanor but a sweet, loving one nevertheless. Sometimes, I just can't understand why people can actually have the heart to hurt defenseless animals like this.

And goodness, Dandy is back! The dog that I had first fallen in love with when I first volunteered in SPCA all those months back, the dog that had ALMOST become mine if it wasn't for the few hours delay that someone actually adopted him first...He's Back......

Dandy is one of those I never really got over even after this long while...along with Benz, Cappucino, and many others. But to have him returned here in disgrace for being AGGRESSIVE??!! Dandy has NEVER been aggressive. not since I first met him months ago! I can still remember how this one dog welcoming committee threw himself on me on my very first day in SPCA, overflowing with boundless joy, and nearly knocking me to the ground. But now?

I didn't quite believe it, and rushed to Kennel A. Dandy was looking far more scruffy then I ever believed possible, and there was a huge clump of matted fur on his tail. Apparently, this had something to do with his previous owner's maid, causing him to be mortally terrified of water and grooming. (I still can't believe that's possible...Dandy used to LOVE water when I bathed him months ago...)

Sigh...To think it was just a matter of a few hours...this Border Collie could have been the prince of my house, instead of being relegated to where he is now...I dunno why I'm so affected by it, but I've missed him...and I can't believe anyone can actually do this to such a magnificent dog...

Anyway, last sunday was my FIRST EVER performance with the PJ Philharmonic Orchestra/PJ Youth Chamber Orchestra. I was pretty nervous about playing in my first orchestra, alongside all the other Pros. And well, I didn't exactly practise for the Junior First Violin either.

To cut long story short (don't have much time...have to go study for my maths quiz) I followed Sharon there in the afternoon, practised with a Allan, Nicholas, Sharon, and the other Violin pros, and soon, it was time for the soundcheck. And we didn't get a break at all...It was like senior practice, junior practice, senior practice...it was a relief when we were finally allowed to change into our attire (and I could FINALLY get to the washroom).

Our dinner was scrumptious, much better than the ones the guests paid RM60 for, if you ask me...hehe...

Mom and Dad came to watch my very first performance, and finally after a string of marvelous solos and quartets, it was time for the Junior & Senior orchestra performance.

I was ridiculously nervous during the Junior performance as there was one song, the Polka, that I still couldn't master...played terribly for that one, I suppose...but luckily, there was quite a number of First Violinists (all the seniors involved were playing the first violin), so my mistakes weren't really audible...hehe...^^

The senior performance, now that was grand. I'm a second violinist for the seniors, and even then, I found some of the pieces challenging. But it was fun, really awesome to be playing in a large group like that...with different parts, different instruments all playing different melodies, all blending together in a beautiful medley that had once dazzled me when I first became an audience of this orchestra.

I guess this is sort of like a dream come true. I've always wanted to play in an orchestra since I started learning violin more than a year ago. When I first attended the PJYCO's performance, I marvelled at everything they did, every piece they played; the way they kept their bowings synchronised, the way every instrument came together to create a full piece of amazing orchestra music. Somehow, listening to good symphonies and stuff like that always seems to fill me up like...(really don't know how to describe...forget it...I'm sure other music enthusiasts out there will understand)

And this year, starting first with the string ensemble which I truly enjoyed playing in, and finally, the ultimate offer to play in the orchestra my teacher, and my violin sifu, Sharon was playing in...It was an honour...

The Seasoned Performer, and the Newbie Violinist

My stand partner Levina, Carol, and me

Carol, Nicole (our orchestra's cute 2nd violinist) and I

The quartet, consisting of several accomplished teachers and our very own conductor (playing the cello)

Oh well, it really has been an awesome weekend. I'd better finish this up now and go tapau some lunch from the cafeteria before its lunch time...otherwise, there'll be nothing else left to eat. Indeed, here we have two choices when it comes to lunch:

Alternative 1. Go down during the 10am to 10.10 break, buy lunch in the cafe from all the choices available, go back to class, try resist the temptation of the delicious food in my desk, and finally endure eating stone cold food during lunch time.

Alternative 2. Go down with everyone else during lunch time, line up with countless more people to get food, have unbelievably limited choices of dishes, and if you're brave enough, maybe end up with some mystery meat like lungs or liver...(*cough hint Jillian & Xiang Xiang)

I don't know bout the others, but I'll pick COLD food over NO food anytime...

Will do Faye's tag in my next post...

2007-07-28T04:34:00.000+08:00

As promised, and maybe to celebrate my weekend return to the world of MARVELOUS INTERNET CONNECTION, this post shall be LOADED with pictures; String Ensemble, Musical Night, SS Pics...enjoy viewing, people... (Pics are below the cat profile)

But before that, may I ask, DOES ANYONE WANT A CAT?

Name: Devil (will be explained later)
Age: Probably 1 - 2 months
Gender: Female
Colour: Black with white socks, and a white belly (see picture)

Oh, and as I'm posting now, little Devil is scratching my pyjamas, clambering all over me, and MEOWING NON-STOP...

I'm growing real attached to this kitten...can't believe that less than 24 hours ago, she was still nervous about letting me touch here and now she's so unbelievably manja........(now asleep on my lap, by the way...)

Ok, let me just tell the brief story on how this little Devil touched our lives yesterday...I guess many of you'll think its another one of Shu's crazy animal rantings again....oh well...

Episode 1: The Meeting

Christina had her Campus Alive activity every Thursday, and with her *cough cough hint hint* sense of direction (=P), I turned into guide-dog mode and took her to the tiny Akasia cafeteria. It was pretty dark by then, and just as she went off with her two friends, a little kitten on the road really caught my attention. Firstly, the colour was lovely, a shiny shade of black, with dainty white socks and a white underbelly; and secondly, it was prancing and pouncing at nothing whatsoever, just like a kid in a childish bliss.

You guys know how animals attract me, therefore I crouched, calling the little kitten which refused to come to me (duh...)

I went over to it, and thank goodness I did just that...A car turned into that road just that instant, and seeing me, it slowed to almost a halt. The black kitten that easily camouflaged with the road just sat there, blinking at the glaring headlights of the car. I shudder to think what could have happened; little Devil could have been well and throughly squashed...

It took a while, but it soon allowed me to touch it, flipping on its back to paw at my hand. Something in me just melted. I scooped the kitten away from the road, and headed back to Christina;s room, intending to show it to Jillian.

Episode 2: An Angel?

Just as I expected, Jillian was equally enamoured of the new arrival as I was. I expected Christina would be as well, and I SMS-ed her about it.

After spending a while gushing over it, we returned to the mounting pile of homework that awaited us.

And guess what our little kitten did? She just curled up on the table and went to sleep! Omg, it was SOOOOOO SWEEEET just watching her doze...such peace...such bliss...she was an angel...

Her presence brought about such a peceful atmosphere.....

Episode 3: Finding Food

When she woke up feeling hungry, Jillian prepared some milk and sliced off the base of a mineral water bottle to serve as a plate. She was clearly hungry, and the milk didn't seem like her idea of a hearty meal. There wasn't any food, however, so we just had to bear with her pitiful meowing...

Christina came back a while later, bursting in through the door demanding where's the cat. Apparently, throughout Campus Alive, she had been thinking of the kitten in her room, and worrying that I might have released it outside.

I was pretty surprised when she easily suggested going out to get some food for the kitten...I guess I've already grown accustomed to being the only person crazy enough to go out of my way to help an animal (*remembering the McDonalds kitten case*) that suddenly meeting people who care for them as much as I do is a surprise...

We left Jillian in the room to take care of the cat, while Christina and I donned jackets and went out hunting for food for our kitten. Finally, we ended up buying a 99 cents packet of Whiskas from Giant (along with some of Christina's junk food), then returned back home to a beleagured Jillian who had been chasing the kitten all over the room.

She seemed to really appreciate the food, though...Clearly, she was hungry...

Episode 4: Name revealed?

We couldn't decide on a name, as Jillian and Christina wanted to name here "Ning", and I was equally adamant that they shouldn't.

Her character, however, solved the naming problem for us. You see, once she had her fill, she was a total rascal, running and leaping up and down, scratching the couch, chewing laptop and handphone, climbing on us with REALLY sharp claws, etc...

So be it then...

Official name: Devil

And she really is a devil in disguise...On Christina's lap later on, she was an utter angel, melting all our hearts when she slept like a little innocent baby,,,and guess what, this little rascal later puked up part of its food, and PEE-ED on Christina...and yours truly had to clear the mess...

Devil by name, devillish by nature...

Episode 5: The Next Day

Devil had to stay outside, as no one wanted to risk waking up to a stinking house and a heap of poop when we woke up the next day. It was really hard for me to leave her outside, listening to her lost meows but there was nothing I could do but hope that she would still be around the next morning for me to take her to SPCA.

The next morning, however, Devil was still waiting outside...mewing at me the moment I peeped outside. I wasted no time in preparing the leftover cat food from yesterday for her breakfast, praying fervently for her to still be around in the afternoon. I guess I was pretty adamant of finding her a good new home...

However, when we returned, she was nowhere to be found. Christina and Jillian clearly missed her too, and we even attempted mewing around college to call her.

It was to no avail until several hours later, when we saw a group of young kids clutching a black kitten like a rag doll, even dropping it on the road. I ached to run and rescue her, especially when I heard her terrified cry (she's scared of heights, by the way) but there was no way I could grab a kitten away from Akasia's resident staff's kids, could I?

~~~

However, when Christina and I returned, thinking of various ways to rescue Devil, we saw the little black kitten huddled fearfully under a tricycle. The kids had abandoned her, at least for the time being....but there was no telling when they would be back...

Well, what did you expect 2 Vets-To-Be to do? Leave the poor kitten to either get run over, or suffer in the hands of kids who still did not understand respect for animals?

Christina grabbed Devil and we bolted up the steps, trying to mask the mewing as much as we could. While I packed my stuff to return for the weekend, she watched her, and even managed to stop her JUST IN TIME from pooping on my couch. The 3rd floor of Laman 3 is really going to stink tonight, though...

Finally, Devil was carried to my mom's car hidden by Christina's jacket, much to her disgust that the cat that just pooped was nestled against her clothes...

~~~~~

Finally, our rescue attempt was successful, and tomorrow, I shall bid goodbye to this little kitten who touched our hearts deeply, even for a brief period of time. I have to say, I've grown more attached to her than I have been towards cats for a very long time, and all I can really hope for now is for a kind soul to take her tomorrow. Yes, our little Devil deserves a good home...

And Yen asked me to post these pics up...She took these pics during one of our rehearsals, when Faye was coaching me patiently...I'm real grateful for all that...

These are pics from Chu's Birthday BBQ the other day...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akasia is starting to feel more and more like home now, as I begin to settle into the normal routines of life.

One thing though, it seems like everyone is forced to grow up here, one way or the other. Before this, all we had to worry about was studying, homework, getting good grades, etc. But now, its still studying, homework, and getting good grades...along with finding time for laundry, remembering to dump the garbage, grocery shopping for fruits to try and avoid getting sick, finding our own doctors if we get sick, living off a tight budget, deciding what's for dinner, waking up real early to fight for the bus...

I can't help but feel that should I have continued in Taylor's I would definitely be living far comfortably than now, but would probably never get the chance to experienced and independant life outside. Life is tougher here, but I can't help but think about some of my friends who are living comfortably the way I did a month before...I suppose everyone'll have to go through this someday...

Adaptation skill is vital. Why, the AUSMAT cafe is always packed with people during the lunch hour that often, there's barely any food left, apart from some mystery meat if we're slightly late. And for those brave enough to try the mystery meat...well...

We've adapted to racing down in between period changes at 10 to tapau lunch, then bringing it to class and eating at 1pm. Sure, the food would have been cold by then, but most will tell you they'll rather eat cold food, than risk consuming the occassional Liver or Lung............*cough hint*

I actually have far more I want to say, but its almost 5am, and I'll probably collapse in sheer exhaustion tomorrow if I don't sleep now, considering the past few nights that I barely slept...

Musical Night 2007

2007-07-25T12:05:00.001+08:00

String Ensemble: Draw Your Bow...

Luthier String Ensemble performing

Gah, darn you, Internet connection...I had to type my stuff in Notepad again...

And I'm dying here...several HUNDRED (I'm not exaggerating) questions of Maths, Bio homework, English assignment AND presentation to be done in 2 days...*jumps off the building*

But finally...

The event that had somehow kept me bound, in a sense, to Taylor's is over..I'm free, not that I really want to though..I still miss everything bout Taylors: the convenience of having everything within walking distance, the freedom of attire, the 8-3 classes, my friends, the String Ensemble, and the Anime Society..

Life in Intec isn't designed for its student's convenience, its meant to toughen us up enough that we can survive living in the big, bad world out there all by ourselves. For instance, to get a doctor, one has to WALK all the way to the clinics in the shoplots, which is at least 5 times the distance from My Place apartments to Taylors, across the main road and such, regardless of how sick one is. Been seeing several cases of this within the past 2 weeks, considering Xiang Xiang and Jillian had high fevers simultaneously, prompting Christina and I to have practically visited most of the clinics in the area.

The clinics are pretty unique: one has an ultra cool touchscreen laptop to communicate with the medicine dispensary but seemed to have a total lack of hygiene sense, another claimed to be a 24 hours clinic but Jillian, Christina and I had to ring for more than 15 muntes to get him to wake up when we visited at 3am (and he had an intercom and numbers like a bank..imagine that for a little clinic..)

And MAN, do I miss the Taylor's lecturers...and the Taylor's computers that are 95% virus free..Christina's pendrive was infected the very FIRST time she plugged it to the com.

Oh, and did I mention that printing of 1 sheet of paper costs 30cents here? I NEED MY TAYLOR'S PRINT QUOTA!!!!!

But what am I doing ranting about Akasia & Intec life when my main purpose of blogging was to post up on Musical Night??

I wouldn't say it was a complete success, but it was certainly better than I had expected once your ignore the chaos before the event and all the delays...

Chaos before event: Can you believe that half an hour before the event was scheduled to start, the entrance was strewn with sponsor material, rubbish, and goodie bags that should have been arranged neatly a day before...and there was no one to man registration and security...

Well, strings played pretty well, Eine Kleine and Cristofori's Dream was a hit, only Adagio brought about some complaints as it wasn't a suitable starting piece. The solo singing was A-MA-ZING, Janice outdid herself end her powerful voice really mesmerized everyone in the hall.

The Dwn, a rock band, was pretty good I must say, even though I don't exactly fancy rock music. The funny part was Su Lyn and me recording Faye "singing along" to the rock band, much to her indignance...hmmm, youtube, anyone? =P

Jo Ann's piano solo was good. I mean it. She's definitely musically talented; the best violinist we had in strings that it was quite a waste that she didn't play along with us. The other piano solo, by our string's pianist, Zheng Huang was no doubt easier, but better received as her songs, Canon and Valentine were familiar to the the musically illiterate people in the audience.

Ee Theng's singing with her boyfriend accompanying her on the piano had me and Venny singing along in the gallery to Yong Qi, one of my favourites. In fact, the string ensemble was pretty SS up there on the gallery, cheering, hollering, clapping and waving; making more noise than most of the audience. During the performance by Awakening Emotion, man, the audience loved them...their jazz performance really appealed to the crowd...and up on the gallery, well...

Chan Kwok Fai's performance was quite a hit as well, as was Nicholas and Vern Sheng's song and the choir's Petaling Street Love Story towards the end, though many people had already began to take their leave.

There's no way this can live up to last year's musical night, but still, it was better than expected and certainly a great experience indeed.I learned a lot; be it through the bad, or the good...

And well, there're a few that I really want to thank...Faye, for patiently coaching me through the tougher songs in the string ensemble, for standing up for me and listening to my rants when things got too tough..Ho Sheng, for all the help, the photocopied books, and for the faith you had in this noob violinist throughout it all...Hui Yen, for her never-ending support as well as allowing me to use her com until past 12am several times just to finish the Musical Night tickets, banner and poster...My anime society buddies (Ian, Wei Shan, Siak Gee) whose help and support during the simultaneous preparation of both Musical Night and Anime Fest really eased the pressure...The string ensemble, whom I've always enjoyed playing with and dearly miss now that I'm in Intec, for ...My family who spent time and money to attend the performance, even though I know they don't fancy stuff like this...And of course, to whoever else I missed out unintentionally...

Do keep checking for the pics...I'll try upload as soon as I can...

i want confess too! =D

2007-07-24T18:55:00.000+08:00

tan yang here

we have one lecturer called ms. joyce.
according to almost everyone in the class..
she is hot! :p

1 tiny example:

that day she was lecturing us for not having enough time to study
she sed we have too many bad influence at home.

she made us imagine
we have ps2 at home..
and everytime we enter our house after class..
the ps2 will say:
lai(come)..lai~ lai~ lai larr~
*omg using super sexy voice :p

then she walked to the other side of the class..
made us imagine a Xbox 360 saying:
lai~ lai~ lai~ kuai dian lai larr~ (faster come la)

last but not least!
she asked us to imagined our BED..
made us fantasizing our BED saying:
join me..join me..join me~
what will you think when a female asking you to imagine a bed somemore calling: join me~
and the fact that she used a super soft + sexy voice didn't help
=.=

many many many females classmates of mine sed they were turned on by her.
not by me =.=

haha ofcourse there are other characteristics of her that made us think she's hot la but i only remember this =D
hey i always focus during class one okayy =P

she is super strict though.
late for class fined rm5
late come back to class during break will make the class wont have breaks for the rest of the week
din do hwk straightaway kena kick out of the class =(

but she is a good LECTURER la dont get me wrong =)
and she is super kind to us too! keep on giving long speech of how to pass the subject, how to pass acca, how to get in to the big 4 audit firms =)
ohh and tmrw she giving small test! gotta be a good boy and go study redi!
tata! =)

ehh wait wait i remember d
normally during class right
she wud address us as dear..darling..
that is cool la but common too
then hor
there was this day
she asked some guy from behind to answer a question
that guy was like thinking hard but couldn't answer her..
she said:" come on baybeh you can do it!"
the whole class went o.O
some guys are figuratively nose bleeding! not me! =D
do you know any lecturer that will address her student as..baby?
how cool is that? o.O

but i don't like her style
all our notes are in chart and diagram form
which is of course easier to study
easier to memorize the key points
but this is an essay paper
notes in chart form means during exam you hafta make ur own sentences
and my language is not good =(

VIRGIN POST WEY!!

2007-07-22T03:18:00.000+08:00

JOKE OF THE CENTURY!!!

guess wat.. i really can't resist but to sacrifice my virgin post for who else??!! but the incredible.. marvelous.. exquisite.. man (oops.. joker i mean) of the year... mr. JOSHUA CHEE

okay.. here comes the story.. now.. some wise guy here called me out for some yum cha session.. k.. that practically equals to roti canai + teh tarik laaa... but we'll just make it sound much nicer k.. shoosh.. initially he invited sharon the "no i need to sleep" girl along.. but this girl gave us a very unexpected answer.. which is.. "YES.. i'm tired and i need to sleep"

k.. i can sense some ppl has some rage building inside them and would pounce on me at any time but come on la.. let me make the post longer laa.. this joker is beside me now and i'm very awake now..

hmm.. so basically we went out for a "drink" and after our crapping.. he fetched me back with his fancy PROTON.. waliaoweh.. this is the first time i'm in hon's car wey.. and he's DRIVING!! cos u see... normally i'll be the one driving.. =.=

so.. back to our point.. i reached home in a piece (thank God) and proceeded to the computer when i received a call at approximately 2:05:05 a.m. and i can sense something cool is happening as i just cursed that he'll knock 5 car over as he's sleepy but yet manage to reach home safely and tell me bout his journey.. so the first few words i heard was "KU GUO JOON!! HELP ME!!!" (in chinese of course) HAHAHAHA..

Soooo... it appeared that our hero here with his chunted mobile ( like those batman punya car la aiyo) just suddenly fail him = broke down = enjin mati = engine died = can't get back home = will get a scolding from dad = KU GUO JOON!! HELP ME!! just solve the equation urself k..

so.. (so many so's) after a period of laughing session along my crazy sister.. this zero suddenly cakap handphone takda battery pulak.. hmm.. maybe heroes is not a favorable industry to be in after all.. so he ended up msging me instead so that his super hero hp wun fail on him as well.. and i tell u.. luckily this zero msged me once more cos as everyone knows.. he mmg banyak phone number till i also lazy to save.. so if i dun have his number and his hp died on him.. sorry la.. the hero will turn into a beggar on KESAS d.. so after all those blahs.. I sort of reluctantly laughed my way to the car and drove to the ZERO's place.. which is at the shell station in KESAS.. as our zero here is not very popular among petrol station workers i guess.. cos according to him.. when he asked for help.. he got the infamous reply from the workerS.. which is.. tak tau la!! (rofl) *by hon**DAMN SHIT!!!*

hmm.. it appeared that our hero turned zero here is quite an attraction after all to not girls but malatlous ler.. 5 malatlous are trying to revive his automobile (hon insisted that i must mention that it's his super chunted PROTON) when i reached.. maybe for him to save other malatlous la.. that i dunno.. so this poor zero here looks so drained and is sort of pouting away there( for the malatlous to see maybe??)

haih.. so end up.. the sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo kind me.. ended up temaning him while he prayed for the car to be revived.... oww oww oww.. must mention.. throughout the time.. u all should have seen his miserable looks.. those "how la.. my dad sure kill me" type of look.. u guys noe la.. heroes also scared of parents one ma.. their ngam cham technique aa.. can kill anyone wei...

k la.. he's insisting that my piece of magnificent work here lacks elaboration.. but since it's already almost 4.. aku pun malas jugak la.. eih.. aku malaysian and proud to be one k.. lazy laaaaaa attitude must got laa...

hmm.. continuing on our "story" here.. after some moment of sitting and looking at our team of 5 trying their best to save out patient there... like those in ER.. our proud PROTON finally decided to gave in and was certified dead.. (at wat time i dunno la.. siapa mau look at the time in some petrol station at 2 something laa) BUT... our hero seems reluctant to give up on his not so beautiful baby over there.. and gave her some VERY useless i must say.. CPR?? means starting engine like some mad guy craving for the return of his ugly wife la aiyoo...

so the VERY kind guy = me waited for another 15 minutes loooooooooooooo... after thatttttt..... he finally gave up and accept the fact that she's dead.. = kaput = kantoi = out hero also kena kantoi by his dad laa..

and he very cooly left his last words to the 2 malatlous left after the 3 men decided that they have other heroes to chase after.. and those last words are...................................... aiyo.. anticipate a bit la... must got suspense a bit la.. like that only can have more readers than hairy portal ma.. ok... so the last words are......... "letak sini aje laaa.. esok col bapak panggel orang tunda away laaaa" these last words damn cool hor~~ i personally think so lo.. definitely higher hits than that J.K. Rowling punya..

k laaa k laaa.... talk to much la.. i noe laa.. but i hyper sekarang ma.. and lost my virginity summor ler.. i mean virgin post.. dun think dirty aa.. no way i'm gonna lose it to some gay zero.. soo... our zero is too scared to face his even scarier dad.. and he ended up in my hse.. clever guy rite??!!

i'm sure he'll come out with some great excuses to explain his misfortunes to his dad.. hmm.. which he's doing so rite now.. so.. let's figure.. wat are the possible explanations..

- some hooker flashed me with her sexy body till the car tak boleh tahan.. mati engine??
- some gangster dared me to race with his ferrari and i almost caught up with him but....... (insert ur own texts la)
- the same gangster threatened to abduct me if i didn't whack my car engine with a sludge hammer
* my car mmg transformers car all the while laa.. he found his new owner and decided to give up on me cos i got no gf

k laaa... i wanna go catch up with some babes that i dated d la.. in my dreams.. so.. ciao laaa.. as a reminder to u guys with our hero to zero of the century.. voted by gammarantings.blogspot.com.. i'm sure u all agree rite!!?? i mean.. who can get robbed and then have his car died on him subsequently in a short period of time.. i must say that he's indeed a genius.. of misfortunes..

presenting to u:

Bon Odori 2007

2007-07-15T12:12:00.001+08:00

Bon Odori 2007 Taihen Idesu Ne!!!!

I'm back once again in the luxury of air-conditioning and internet connection, trying to keep my eyes open as I upload pictures from Bon Odori, the Japanese Festival that was held in a stadium in Shah Alam.

Oh, but before that, here are pics I promised to post up...

The gang. SS-ing with Strawberries

Judy

Jillian

Christina

Xiang Xiang

Jillian and me, after orientation with the seniors.. the flour was SALTY!!!!!

Anyway, I was asked to return to Taylor's this morning to collect more Musical Night tickets to sell (DARN IT). And when I entered the MPH, I saw a sight that I had dearly missed, the song I had not played for ages ; The string ensemble playing Cristofori's dream. Ho Sheng brandished his violin, and I went up the stage, took my place, and played together with them. OMG...I HAD NO IDEA I MISSED THE STRING ENSEMBLE THAT MUCH!!! Ok, I was feeling kinda emo...I met Ling Hui, Faye, Joanne, and the rest of the gang, and realised how much I actually missed the times I played together with them...

Musical Night is still in terrible crisis, though. And just want to rant a little here; committees are not robots, not superhumans nor servants, and are supposed to be a team that listens to each other and accept each other's views. Teammates should not kept in the dark, heeding orders without questioning judgement. No one should ignore the views of his teammates, no one should expect everyone to follow 100% as instructed, no one should demand so much, overlooking the reasonable values and needs of his teammates. Organising an event is throughly fun, but its NOT that simple. Its NOT going to work out like fairy tales that always end with happily ever after. This is not secondary school, when adults play a major role in organising such huge events. This is the REAL WORLD. STOP BEING SO DISILLUSIONED THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING TURN OUT FINE, FACE THIS REALITY AND START THINKING LOGICALLY, AND MAYBE TRY HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS THE SITUATION OF ALL TEAMMATES.

Faye then joined me, Jillian, Christina, Judy & Xiang Xiang to pyramid, and everyone squashed into my mom's little Kelisa for the journey. So while I was happily enjoying the front seat, I gloated endlessly at the pack of sardines behind that were squashed on top of each other. And well, the situation repeated several times, from Taylor's to Pyramid, Pyramid to Taylors, Taylors to KTM station, and finally Bon Odori to Akasia (which I squashed along...)

Xiang Xiang: Ouch, cramp!

Judy & Christina: *SS-ing*

Jillian: Stop squirming!!!

Faye: Never mind, we're getting "healthy..."

Later in the afternoon, we met up in the KTM station with the rest of the Anime Society members. It was GREAT seeing them again, and we embarkd

Judy and Xiang Xiang followed on the KTM to Shah Alam to get back to Shah Alam, while Jillian tagged along with the rest of the anime society to the fest that every otaku was dying to go, the Bon Odori. Along the way, most of our chatter was focused on the topic of MN...Man, I'll be glad when its over...............................

Faye, Janette, me, and Wei Shan at the KTM station. This was supposed to be a Lucky Star pose, but looks like it didn't exactly work out that way...hehe...

In the bus...Ian blocked the entire aisle of the bus just taking this photo...

The stadium was packed with people, from real true blue Japanese to enthusiastic (and kinda jakun-ded) Malaysian visitors like us...

Took a bus to the stadium, where all of us couldn't stop ooh-ing and aah-ing over the huge crowd, the dance & drum stage, and the FOOD STALLS!!! The highlight was trying out all the Japanese food, so there we went, buying small amounts of food from stall after stall, then pooling the food together and taking bites of everything.

FIRST STOP:

And here are some of the various flavours of Japanese Ice-Cream:

Cheese Ice Cream

Green Tea Ice Cream

Faye eating a chocolate & peanut ice-cream

And the various kinds of exotic Japanese food, all of which I've never sampled before...Kinda expensice though, cos everything was either priced at RM3 or RM6...

Tanuki Udon: The diameter of the mee was huge!!!

Takoyaki: Octopus ball...RM6 for 6 pieces...Oishi desu ga taihen takai desu!! (delicious, but very expensive)

Yakisoba: Not much of a difference from Fried mee...

Onigiri: Rice wrapped in seaweed...There were different fillings inside...

Okonomi Yaki: Japanese pan cake...Mm...Oishi desu...

(As usual, Faye and I snapped all sorts of pics of the food and the atmosphere...Typical blogger addicts...^^)

After stuffing ourselves with the food, we finally proceeded to the stage, where everyon danced Japanese traditional dances all around. All the four dances was pretty easy to get as the steps kept repeating, and it was really fun when everyone danced together...

It was only after the dance that we all hitched a ride with Hui Yen's parents back home: Jillian to Akasia, Faye and Janette to My Place, and me, back home. I really really enjoyed...I'm sure everyone did too...I haven't learned ehough keyoshi (adjectives) to describe it fully...It was really a new experience that I never thought I'll ever get the chance to try...and well, LETS GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR, SHALL WE??!!

The drummers, and the stage where they danced.

Siak Gee and I...she looks so cute in her yukata!!!!!!!

Faye, me, and Jillian

Anime Society Group Picture

Our souvenirs!!! Little Japanese balloons with water!!!

Ja ne, Minnasan...............................

Lixian here again!!!

Intec updates...

2007-07-11T18:44:00.000+08:00

Getting used to being a UiTM UNDERGRADUATE.....

I take back my words. The internet connection here STINKS!!! Well, I suppose its good for me...stops me from wanting to access Internet at all..

Anyway, today's the first day of class, so somehow, Jillian and Christina roused me up (which much difficulty, may I add) and we boarded the first bus, half asleep to check the classes we're assigned to.

By the way, its obvious that I'm settleng down here...cos I'm stating to sleep like a log again. For example, on Monday morning, Jillian, Christina, Xiang Xiang, and I had planned to meet at 7.40am, thus allowing us to catch the 8am bus. That would have been fine, if it wasn't because I had a really late night, and all my housemates and I overslept. We didn't have to be in Intec until 4pm for the Treasure Hunt, so no one bothered to wake up anyway.

Well, my alarms didn't wake anyone up, and neither did Jillian's calls and messages from Judy & Christina. I only woke up at EIGHT, when Christina and Jillian gate-crashed my room (thanks goodness they did).

Well, we caught the 8.30 bus instead, at returned by 10am only to go back again at 3.45.

Anyway today, we reached early and immediately hustled off to check our classes.

And guess what class am I in...

*drumrolls*

PAAKANTYI!!!

Man, I can barely even pronounce that!!! Apparently, the names each year are according to some Australian feature, and this year, its Tribal languages. Jeez...Why can't they call us Koala, Platypus and Dingo instead?

Other classes names include Warunggu, Bunubbu, Kaurna, Arabama, Luritja, etc etc etc...

Xiang xiang's my classmate, thus making us the only class with to Vet Science majors. We're heavily outnumbered...only 7 in the entire batch...

Overall, I find my class quite nice. Seems like a pretty conducive place to study, and everyone I'm with is aiming for TER of 90-something...(medicine, vet, pharmacy, etc)...This is really really gonna force me to study...

I'm pretty much satisfied, except for one thing...our HORRIBLE TIMETABLE!!!

Especially tuesday & friday.

Class on tuesday: 8AM TO 6PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Class on Friday (everyone until 12 only): 8AM to 12PM, then 3PM to 5PM!!!!!

*dies*
*dies*
*dies*

*packs bag and runs back to Taylors*

I miss 8 to 3 classes...................sobz........................................='(

hello!
tan yang here.
just thought i should drop by and say hi!
gamma blog not suppose to look like shu ning's blog =)
so
classes have been great!
new subjects are tough =(
new classmates are. duno? still unknown to me yet hehe xD
but now got more leng cai-s la =(
have to learn marketing to get noticed redi xD

key term for marketing - marketing seeks out prospective customers(ladies) for the product(me) and looks for the best way to present it to them(with the help of nice hair, polite manners with a touch of class, good sense of humour, funny lines, act cool at times etc) . marketing has become increasingly sophisticated over the past decade, with customer profiling(my friendster profile link available up there! *points to upper right corner =D ) and use of web-based technologies(err..msn counted not?).

okie
thats all for today.
tata! =D

First Week In Intec...

2007-07-08T12:00:00.000+08:00

I'm back in civilisation. Back in the land of aircon, water heaters, and internet. Not to mention that the oily, spicy food, syrupy necafe/tea, cold baths at 12/1 am, exercise under the hot sun in long sleeves, and the sheer lack of sleep has finally taken a toll, and I'm down with a nasty fever. Pah, and to think I've got to get back to Intec tomorrow afternoon...

Faye's right when she said one would tend to avoid getting sick when she's away from home...It really is a torture...

Anyway, I shall now post up the all the conventional, traditional blogging I did in Intec...Ths HANDWRITTEN ones...

DAY 1: 1ST JULY 2007, SUNDAY

So here I am, finally in Intec, and sitting around in my "house" in sheer boredom that I'm actually resorting to the utterly traditional method of "blogging" (I'm sure bloggers out there will understand). I guess I've more or less visioned Akasia to be this way, so no "crushing dissapointment" or whatever when I finally caught sight of this place.

I know I should take advantage of the lack of digital entertainment (wifi only available next week, along with my new laptop) to slep, considering we've all got to catch the bus at 6.30am tomorrow to get to Intec. But no...can't sleep...Having the case of EBS (Excessive Blogger Syndrome) at the moment...

The morning began in total chaos, as there was really loads of stuff to prepare (and I didn't). Anyway, got to Cemara/ Akasia college, met up with Mang Yik, registered, and got into the same room.

Hours later, after settling our stuff with the JPA fellows, we had lunch, then sent Mang Yik back to "My Place". I returned home to continue packing, and mom went to buy I few more necessary items.

Man, you should see the belongings I packed...It seemed like I was moving away PERMANENTLY...

We unloaded our stuff in our rooms, and slowly, began the process of "settling down" in our new "homes"...

I can't believe I'm actually sacrificing my privacy in this way, but fine....I shall CONSENT to giving a tour of my house...

My room...looking more homely now that I've unloaded my stuff

Study tables and bulletin boards for everyone

The toilet, which has a water tank so low that I keep bumping my hand on it each time I bathe.

Some nasty looking parts in the kitchen

Door 1: toilet, Door 2, kitchen, Door 3, balcony.

Mang Yik & I are sharing one room, while in the other, Wai Hang (Sabah) and Kuhanes (Melaka) are roomates.

And well, looks like its going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG week...Several hours into our first day and we've already had 2 long talks which we suffered through in waterproof baju kurungs...

Everyone seems so gloomy now...seems like we'll all retire early (Its past 12.30am, btw). I wonder what's going on in everyone's mind now...everyone just seems so sien...as do I...

I miss home

I miss my friends

I miss Taylor's

I miss the fun we had during Anime Fest

I miss Internet

I miss EVERYONE!!!

Oh well, better keep this paper and continur my entry tomorrow. Will surely have loads to type when I finally get access to the net...

DAY 2: 2ND JULY 2007, MONDAY

I guess I've got a general idea of typical life in Akasia. Wake up early, rush to the bus stop, Fight to get up the bus try to keep balance cos there's NOTHING to hold on to...

A typical "corporate" day would also involve loads of sweating in an annoyingly inconvenient baju Kurung...

Yes, most of our day today was spent waiting in the sweltering heat...utter torture...

We settled our registration, took pictures for the student card, then (typical Malaysian time) spent more than 2 hours sweating and boring myself to death...

Intec, by the way, has an uncanny resemblance to a secondary school...

Secondary school?

I did stop to get some milkshake in the AUSMAT cafe, so called the best cafe in Intec. As with practically every drink there, it was ridiculously sweet. I suppose my vision of the "best cafe" in Intec would be something like Taylor's, so I was rather disappointed to see such a grubby cafe, less than half the size of the Taylor's cafe. Thee bright side? There's some waffle on sale that I really want to try.......

Some boring ceramahs which I doze through, before we were split into groups for the week's LDK. We were then ushered to the field in the HOT SUN for 2 hours of riadah. As Mang Yik had borrowed my looser shirt, I had no choice but to sweat it our in a LONG SLEEVED shirt that was entirely inappropraite for exercise; it was pretty fitting, and BLACK in colour...

Riadah in the hot sun...Everyone doing the Chicken Dance...

This italicized paragraph is just added, as on the second day I dozed off without finishing my post...must have been too tired...

That night, I was in a foul mood as I was exhausted, VERY uncomfortable in my sticky and fitting clothes, and all too eager to get a nice, refreshing shower. No such luck, these people crapped for ages, introducing one committee after another. I never bothered to listen, as throughout the time, I was fidgeting restlessly, and drifting in and out of sleep...

DAY3, 3RD JULY 2007, TUESDAY

The unofficial Vet Science United.

Somehow, probably the way animals can sense their own kind, that's how we "sensed" each othr's presence. Within the first hour of me reaching Cemara/Akasia, I had already met with 2 RECOM Would-be Vets, and this coincidence continued throughout the first 2 days. By the time we left our first day in Intec UiTM, Vet Science United was established, consisting of Xiang Xiang (Penang, going Aussie), Judy (Sibu, going NZ), Jillian (Ipoh, going Aussie), Christina (Alor Setar, going Aussie), Jie Jing (Taiping, going NZ), and me (Subang Jaya, going Aussie). Now there's two more Vet-To-Be s that we haven't found, a Malay Girl and a guy...

Oh, and by the way, congratulate me!!! I just did laundry ENTIRELY on my own for the first time ever!!! (Ok, I know I'm making it sound lik some pampered kid, but really, the closest I've ever come to washing my own clothes is tossing them into the washing machine...)

I guess today isn't as bad as yesterday, as despite the fact that wre had to wear the ridiculously thick, long-sleeved Intec Shirt that had us sweating profusely during riadah. As usual, Riadah was yet another two hours of weird aerobics, Chicken Dance, and some line dancing thingy they called Pocho Pocho.

As usual, doze off during most of the ceramahs...Typical...

DAY 4: 4TH JULY 2007, WEDNESDAY

I wanted to write more today, as our activities ended early, but games of Cho Dai Ti, Speed, Heart Attack, and Black Jack with my new friends, as well as a late night trip to visit some seniors ended up with me reaching the room only after Mang Yik, Kuhanes, and Wai Hang had all slept. So, I suppose I'll just wrap this up and go to bed.

We actually went to met up with a friend of Xiang Xiang's who then offered to take us to meet some of the other seniors. And MAN, do they look matured! No, I do not mean they're old, but they look a hell lot more adult-ish than us, who are merely 1 or 2 years younger by comparison. And they're really really really nice people, so friendly and helpful, and treating us like little kids who need taking care of.

Goodness, I wonder if one year at Intec really turns everyone into matured adults...Life must be real tough here...

And finally, I'v got a bunch of people to actually go NUTTERS with me at the sight of every animal! Here we've already found Scruffy, Stalker (who refused to leave my room for 2 hours), Meow Shu (they want a Meow Ning as well), and Panda...

DAY5: 5TH JULY 2007, THURSDAY

We were officially sworn in as UiTM undergraduates today in a ceremony today (which Jillian and I slept through). Yes, here, we're considered UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATES and not COLLEGE STUDENTS...MUAHAHA...I suppose I can gloat about this...

The closing ceremony which lasted way into the night was both fun and embrassing, as I was FORCED to join the AUSMAT performance by my own teammates. Still can't believe I actually did the CHICKEN DANCE on stage. (Not to mention shouting "I'M GOING TO TAYLOR'S" in front of a hall of UiTM students...

As my file was left on stage after the performance, I went to search for it as the rest were filing out of the hall. When I went outside though, practically everyone was heading for the Buses! I had no idea where were my Vet Science buddies, and therefore assumed that they had all left to return to Akasia college. After waiting for a while, I boarded the next bus.

Halfway through the journey, however, I received a call from Jillian. It was then I realised that my friends were actually waiting for me at the hall! Not only that, but they had even snagged a packet of supper for me. Man, I felt so GUILTY and TOUCHED!

Thank goodness they actually managed to get a bus back, otherwise I would probably be berating myself until now...

DAY 6: 6TH JULY 2007, FRIDAY

Xiang Xiang, Judy, Chrstina, and I, along with a bunch of Judy's friends from Sibu went immediately to pyramid today immediately after we were "released" from college. We went ice-skating, but before that, I returned to Taylor's for a while to visit everyone. Man, I miss everyone there...

Christina, Judy and I, trying on sunglasses just before the shop lady nearly shooed us out...

Already down with a nasty sore-throat...I'm so doomed tomorrow...

DAY 7: 7TH JULY 2007, SATURDAY

Took Christina to SPCA today. I already had a splitting head ache and I bad sorethroat, and it was all I could do to keep from collapsing in sheer exhaustion.

We had a fine time grooming the scruffy looking Chen Chen into a little terrier prince. Hmm...maybe we should go take up grooming instead...Hehe...

As promised, here is the pet-of-the-week. This week, it a bunch of extremely adorable puppies. This litter was brought in with the same neighbour's-stray-dog story...Pah...and are now being fostered by a very nice lady. Hoping they can find good homes...

The puppies...Visit SPCA if you're interested...There're loads more unbearably cute ones...

It was really sad when an old Rottweiler was brought in, though. Pris and Samy had picked it up from its owner on their way back from Segi. Here's the sad story.

The poor Rottweiler had been kept in cage, never released for goodness knows how long. Probably a case of hip dyplaxia had rendered this dog's hindquarters paralysed. According to Pris, this dog was lying in a filthy, WET cage. There was a bad wound on the neck, and it was apparent that there was no chance for this dog's survival.

I saw the Rottweiler just before he died. He had the most mournful eyes I've ever seen, gazing at me not in fear or aggression, but with a sad, resigned look that seemed to ask, "are you going to hurt me too?" I can't deny it, it was far kinder to end the old dog's misery, but DAMN, what's wrong with humans nowadays?? He could have been a perfect companion, a loyal friend...what did he do to deserve such treatment?? He probably never knew a kind word or pat, or got the love that every dog deserves.

It broke my heart to see him this way. I left for a while to tend to the cat, and hen I returned, I saw the needle in the dog's paw, and Samy monitoring it's slowing pulse. I stroked the dead dog, hoping fervently that it had finally earned its peace. You deserved better, old boy, and wherever you are now, may you be well and happy always...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And SPCA is having an emergency fundraising to help rehabilitate a ranch of very VERY badly mistreated horses. Some of them have died, and we've all got to do our part to save them!!! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!

Please send your cheques "SPCA Selangor Equine Welfare Fund" to SPCA Selangor, Jalan Kerja Air Lama, 68000, Ampang Selangor.

I intend to start a fundraising for this..............

ANIME FEST 2007, and LAST DAY IN TAYLOR'S

2007-07-01T09:13:00.001+08:00

INTEC tomorrow.........

That makes today officially my final day in Taylor's...And what a last day it was; a hectic but undoubtedly fun day of running up and down during the Anime Fest, and finally, rounded up with a delicious but ridiculously expensive dinner at Swensens (I hope I spelled that right) paid for with our earnings for the day.

This is going to be a really brief post, by the way. I really really need to pack. I'll post the pictures and elaborate more after I load my own pics in my com, and after the rest send me theirs *nudge hint Faye, Ian, Siak Gee*

Reached Taylor's at 7 something, as there was a hell lot of things that hadn't been done, ie; finishing up the makeshift changing rooms, printing the judging schemes, getting ready for LAST MINUTE CONTESTANTS etc etc etc...

But WOW...Ok, I've never ever been to any cosplay event before, so when I barged into the hall carrying registration lists, I was momentarily stunned by all the cosplayers around, wearing elaborate costumes and with hair that was done up almost EXACTLY like the characters. And to think barely two months ago, I didn't even know what was a Cosplayer........................

After Ian gave his speech, which, by the way I wrote for him when I was half asleep yesterday, Yen, Shan, Gee, and I had to perform our Lucky Star dance, the most hyper and (in sharon's terms) Act-Cute dance I've seen in a while. And by the way, I DON'T dance. I've NEVER danced on stage before, unless you count the time in kindergarten which I barely even remember.

Omg, when I watched the video that Faye recorded after the dance it became apparent how horribly uncoordinated we were, specially at the CHEERLEADING part...

Oh yeah, did I mention that we were dancing in my LIBRARIAN'S SCHOOL UNIFORM??

Anyway, as we had opened our cosplay contest for last minute registration, Faye, Wei Shan and I were up to our eyes in work, briefing cosplayers, printing and photocopying judging schemes, arranging order of participants, dealing with their needs, such as music, etc...

Credits to the Coordinators and the Registration for somehow being able to handle the sudden rush of participants to join our contest. It was truly a success, considering that before this, we only had THREE registered participants, Now, we had more than 10!!!

Thank goodness Faye came up with the order of the participants, otherwise, we would have been really really lost...

The cosplayers were really cool and each of them played their part out pretty well. Ok, I actually feel like elaborating the characters one by one, but somehow, most of the names escape me...I know there's a girl in a flowing blue costume, some Akatsuke leader, some characters from Bleach, one kung fu master (or mistress) who wowed the crowd with her performance with various kung fu weapons.

We could all relax later on during the PS2 competition, and everyone took the opportunity to move around taking pictures of and with the Cosplayers. Man, I really really am getting a Crash Course in Anime 101 as Faye said, two weeks ago, I didn't know any character outside Geass, Wolf's Rain, and Death Note but now, at LEAST I can recognise some of the more famous ones, thanks to Faye who was quoting names and anime series everywhere we went. (I forgot most of them, though...Too many japanese names...)

At 2pm, the bustle to prepare for the karaoke contest began, and once again, we had to rush to get the order of the participants, and even worse; compile their songs in the right order. Trouble arose, however, when one of the contestants songs was accidentally deleted and there was no way we could go online to download it. Wei Shan and I rean to Mac Center and later on, IK, hoping to be able to use the internet there but there wasn't a connection either.

When Shin's friend returned with a downloaded version of the song, we were horrified to find that it was the wrong one. Once again, I had to dash to Asia Cafe with him to download the right version of the song, all within that few minutes!

By the time I returned, I couldn't help coughing incessantly...Somehow, whenever I run too fast, I tend to cough a lot when I stop. No idea why, though...

Thank heavens for the can of Green Tea that Faye got for me when I returned, and could finally settle down to watch the performance.

Don't have time to elaborate anymore...my 10 minutes is up...I'll just wrap this up...

Took more pictures with the cosplayers and watched the finale of the PS2 competition before it was time to call it a day. We dismantled the makeshift changing rooms, arranged the classrooms in order, cleared the hall, and finally, counted our earnings, which, by the way, amounted to..............*drumrolls*

MORE THAN RM2000!!!!!!!!!

*jumps for joy*

Indeed, it was more of a success than I'd ever thought it would be, and everyone worked very well as a team, sacrificing time, energy, and sleep throughout the days leading to the event.

It was about 7pm when we finally cleared everything, and Ian then decided to go somewhere nice to celebrate (with our earnings). It was sort of like a farewell for me, and I was beginning to feel kinda emo about leaving Taylor's...

Guess where our destination was: TGI Friday!!!!

Yes, all of us committees WALKED to Subang Parade, all for the sake of celebrating. And as TGI Friday's was fully booked, we ended up eating in Swensen's (which I've never ever set foot in before), eating a scrumptious dinner, with lemon flavoured iced water and some of the most amazing ice-creams I've ever saw!!!!! Mine was, as they said, several "storeys" high, and I really did have trouble finishing it. In fact, I DIDN'T finish the last bit...Kok Peng ate it up for me...

And the bill...RM 432!!!!!!!! There goes our earnings...

Overall, it was truly a memorable Last day in Taylor's. I really am going to miss everyone; Hui Yen, Wei Shan, Siak Gee, Faye, and the rest of my friends who made my 6 months in Taylor's a truly wonderful experience. Thanks for everything you guys have done for me...

Ja ne, minasan.......and Keep In Touch.............

INTEC...My would-be home for the next 18 months...

2007-06-28T01:10:00.000+08:00

Well, as my life as an Intec student is about to begin, I might as well post up some details I found out about Intec. Some sort of info for Intec-students-to-be as well...

Mostly related to AUSMAT students, though.

PS: sources from http://www.campusalive.blogspot.com/ and http://www.recom.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5893#135101

Accomodation:
-Apartment styled "house"
-2 bedrooms with 2 beds in each of them, a living room with 4 study tables, 2 sofas, one large mirror, one white board, one SMALL fan, NO air-con, one small bathroom with NO hot water, one balcony, and one mini kitchen (no cooking, though)
-Spotchecks will be conducted randomly...imagine that...

Food:
-Loads of food stalls/restaurants around the area, from fast food to economy rice.
-Pasar malam once a week
-AUSMAT Cafe in Intec is the best among the 3 (AUSMAT cafe, ADFP/ALG/ADCP Cafe, ALM Cafe). Air-conditioned, supposedly reasonable price, quite a lot of choices from Fried Chicken to Waffle...

Water supply:
-Water that sometimes resembles MUD. Better get own filter.

Transport:
-Bus. Rather slow, ALWAYS jam-packed, and may have to wait up to 1 hour for Bus.
-Have to leave AT LEAST one hour before class

Security:
-Bad. Very bad.
-Security guards more interested in giving summons of dress code for people than actually monitoring safety.
-Fequent thefts, and flimsy locks that can easily be pried open.

Computer Labs
-Apparently the WORST facility in Intec
-No MSN, No Friendster, No Youtube, No anything-I-wanna-use (man, they had better NOT block Blogger...)
-EVEN NO WIKIPEDIA in some labs!!
-Wireless service available in hostels. CONNECTION SUCKS.
-Intec computers: COUNTLESS VIRUS, WORMS, TROJANS, etc, making personal laptops prone to infection as well.
-Cannot install stuff, ie: No Antivirus either

Dress Code For Girls: (SCREAMS!!)
-Long sleeved shirts that cover the butt.
-Formal on Monday & Friday, ie: Baju Kurung (DAMN...)
-Summons issued by guards for clothing that do not follow EXACTLY as stated

Electrical Items:
-RM10 per item per semester
-No television, No Fridge, No Aircon, No water heater

Recreational Activities:
-Badminton Courts and Ping Pong tables available in Akasia/ Cemara

Course Details:
AUSMAT
(sourced from Campus Alive)

Basically there are two types of plan of study:1) Year 11 (6 months) + Year 12 (12months) = 18 months. If you are a JPA or a MARA scholar offered to study in Australia or New Zealand, you will most likely follow this study plan if you are placed at INTEC for your pre-U.In the year after your SPM year, you will begin your AUSMAT program in June-July until November starting with what we call ‘the bridging course’ named Year 11 for 6 months.

A lot, a lot, A LOT or assignments, presentations, etc

Medical related course will have Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. ESLS is compulsory for all students. At the end of Year 11, you will sit for the Year 11 final examination.The following months in AUSMAT Year 12, and during this period, you will face extensive study on the subjects related to your course. From time to time, you will face quizzes, tests, and exams (mid-term, finals and trials). Simultaneously, you are also required to accomplish many assignments for each subject.

Take ESLS for example, you will be asked to search for a research topic and conduct a study as though you are asked to do a mini thesis paper with scholarly ‘protocols’, formats and citations. In the AUSMAT program, it is highly advisable that you consult your lecturer AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE because they are honestly truly sacrificial and willing to help you in anyway they can! At the end, you will face an external major exam called the SSABSA examination for the subjects of your course.

Internal and external assessments in AUSMAT/SAM are accumulative and counted in the final calculation of your TER (Tertiary Entrance Ranking – over 100).Therefore, it is crucial that you perform consistently throughout as your performance even in attendance, participation in class, quizzes, tests and assignments are recorded and counted in your final TER.TER is something like a ranking of your performance in the AUSMAT/SAM program for all AUSMAT/SAM students WORLDWIDE for a particular year. Let’s say I took the SSABSA exam in 2007 and my TER value is 95, this signifies that I am among the top 5% worldwide who did best in the AUSMAT/SAM program for year 2007.

PS: TER for Veterinary is ridiculous...Even a TER of 96 is not a guaranteed entry...

This program is packed with tones of assignments which take up loads of time and energy, sometimes to the point that we have little time to study for our exams. In this program, you will be sharpened to be more independent in finding information through wide ranges of sources, from journals to books, from newspapers to reports, from the internet to even books of other programs. All sorts of sources are useable as long as it is valid and not out-dated.To conclude, this program offers little in terms of knowledge but more to skills in dealing with scholarly materials, time constraints and pressure. I quote most of my seniors by saying that you will find yourself comfortable in dealing with university studies if you do well in the AUSMAT program. The skills cultivated will help you enormously in your degree programs.

And well, from my SAM friends, ie: Faye, Isabelle, etc..There're loads of INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS and you guys know me, I detest public speaking!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

Savouring my last few days in Taylor's now, spending my entire day in ECA office...Still working my ass off for Music Club and Anime Society...It's official, I'm an incurable pat gua...Really hope everything goes well during those events...

In a few days, I'll be off to Intec. Off to a place full of scholars, where I'll finally have to survive on my own. Hmm...still can come back though, anytime I want...Intec's not THAT far...

Minimum TER 96...means hav to be top 4% in the world...jeez...

Guess I've having some withdrawal symptoms from Taylors......................................

But then again, IF I survive Intec, IF I get the TER required, IF I make in into, and through VET school.....I will return in about 7 years from now...5 years of Free Education...and back as a fully fledged Veterinarian...

The big IFs...

SPCA, and MUSICAL NIGHT!!! and some rantings...,

2007-06-24T03:42:00.001+08:00

Now it seems like each week I go to SPCA, I enjoy it even more. The good, the bad, all the experiences I'm gaining, its different each week, and each becomes a valuable memory I'm not likely to forget. In fact, I've discovered today that SPCA seems to be the only place so far that I can actually de-stress fully...considering I've been teethering on the brink of sheer stress and exhaustion for the past week...It was only with the doggies that I could actually "forget" all the problems temporarily...

Anyway, I've decided that everytime I blog after going to SPCA, I'll post a featured pet-of-the-week here on my blog. Mostly, it'll be the one who actually stood still for a picture...hehe...So, remember to check it out, and do leave a comment or inquiry...*grins*

So anyway, featured pet of the week: Pepe!!!

This utterly adorable Cocker Spaniel has a nasty case of skin disease, quite sad to see, really...but omg, he is SO SO SO SO SO SO SWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reve allowed me to let him out, and WOW...no sign of self-pity (like humans do) or anything of that sort! There's not a mean bone in this adorable dog's body, he's a furry bundle of love!!! He was 100% obedient, always following me around, and answering immediately when I call him. We're treating him with that miracle Pine oil at the moment...his skin ailment will probably clear up soon, and we're hoping a kind soul will come and fall in love with this sweet fellow...I sure did.....

Also, in loving memory of Rachel, the sweet, loving, Dalmatian who was in SPCA longer than I've been volunteering. After a battle with kidney failure, the poor soul was finally put out of her misery this afternoon...I was truly upset when I saw her being led in the green room, but I suppose its a kinder way...considering how much she's been through...Reve said she was in constant pain, and wherever you are now, Rachel, may you be well and happy always................

Molly's adopted. I sure hope her new owners will treat her like the princess that she is. Priscilla'll make sure of that, though. After all, she's been fostering little Molly since she was a half blind pup.

And a terrible case of cruelty that Mr Allan and Rajes responded to this morning. Jacinta, Reve, and I gave the exact same reaction when we saw the pictures Mr Allan showed us.

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!"

I mean, HOW CAN HUMANS BE SO DARN CRUEL!!! This dog had apparently got into a fight with the neighbour's dogs, and the owner ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to take it to the Vet, or at least, surrender the poor creature to SPCA?! ^*$%^$@#$!$@%^%$&*%^%$%#@$@#$^$%">#$^*$;%*(%^*$%^$@#$!$@%^%$^&(%^%$%#@$@#$^$%'>^*$%^$@#$!$@%^%$*%^%$%#@$@#$^$%">#$^*$;%*(%^*$%^$@#$!$@%^%$^&(%^%$%#@$@#$^$%

(Its just that I never use really foul language, so that keysmash is probably the closest thing..)

You guys can spark a debate/rant/forum on how ^$#@#$">%^$#@#$ these people are...Believe it or not, the owner utterly refused to put any medicine, and the traces of yellow lotion you see on its fur were actually used on the poor dog by a neighbour. Look at the poor dog's head...

Again, how can any human BE SO CRUEL??!! WE SHOULD HAVE THE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT TOWARDS THE BEINGS THAT SHARE THIS PLANET WITH US!!!!! DAMN, HOW CAN HUMANS BE SO SELFISH!!! LEAVING A DOG TO SUFFER FROM SUCH SERIOUS WOUNDS, AND TO LET IT GO UNTREATED!!! WOULD YOU LET YOUR OWN CHILD'S WOUNDS GO UNTREATED LIKE THAT??!! THE POOR FELLOW MUST BE IN SUCH PAIN!!!! DAMN YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE...DAMN YOU.....

Please support...oh please please please please please support........

*******************************************************************

Sometimes I still can't understand myself...why am I throwing my 110% into this again...Sems to be a reenactment of QM camp; PSS, ending up shouldering as much burden as I can to make a project/task/duty successful, taking on responsibility and blame...some tell me I'm asking for it, some tell me I'm a darn idiot, some tell me its good...but somehow, I CAN'T let a project die (believe me, I've tried...my conscience just doesn't allow me...), and through the frustration, exhaustion, whatever...I feel a sense of satisfaction that I'm doing my duty...Dumb, huh? Never mind, doubt anyone will be able to understand this at all...

Uh...Somehow, don't ask me why, this reminds me of something from Geass (oh darn, I'm talking anime...darn...darn...) Btw...Geass is...Wow...*dying for Summer 2007, which, by the way, I have no idea when...*

Oh yeah, Anime Fest is on 30th June 2007. There'll be karaoke, cosplay, fan art, PS2 competition, and yours truly dancing some EXTREMELY ACT-CUTE DANCE with Hui Yen and another 2 committees...
