it's a jungle out there

hierarchy. we think it only exists in the royal family, but if we look closely, hierarchy exists EVERYWHERE. of course in the animal kingdom there is hierarchy, the meat eaters overpowering the herbivores. there is hierarchy in the office. but there is also always hierarchy among friends.

when i was in primary school, everyone used to flaunt hierarchy among friends. what better way than to do so with the help of the autograph book. when u wrote in someone else's autograph book, u wud write all your particulars, then your "faves". under faves, there was a heading called friends. then under that, you'd divide all your friends into "bestest best", "best", "good", etc. and the one whose name that came under bestest best most number of times was the most popular, everyone else hated him/her cos they wanted to be him/her.

but now that we think we're all grown up, heirarchy becomes more subtle. it is considered crass by some to even use the words "best friend"- how juvenile it sounds. no, now we tell everyone else words like "really really good friend", but the person we're fooling is only ourselves, and if your listener is really slow on the uptake, perhaps he would be fooled too.

so how then do we figure out hierarchy in adults? a simple way exists, but you need a friend with a car and an occasion where that friend is going to drive some other friends around. now observe carefully, who sits where? usually it is the person who is closest to the driver who gets the passenger seat. of course there are exceptions to this rule: if one friend has a phobia of sitting in front, if the spouse/gf/bf of the driver is one of the passengers, if one person is getting off before the other, if one person just happened to reach the car first and open the passenger side door.....

of course, if you want to avoid this kind of politics, get your own car, mister!

:P

i lost track of when i last posted a post in this blog. and i think it's going to be a long time till anyone even realises i've posted something since i doubt anyone even checks this anymore.. but i suddenly felt like blogging.. don't know how long this is going to last.. i wouldn't hold my breath if i were you.. ;)

and since this whole blog's template itself is about rafa, i thought it fitting to include this dashing -if i do say so myself- picture of him and the beautiful cup-that-everyone-covets. i think the final last sunday was the best tennis that has graced tv screens for a long time, but i was too busy praying to appreciate it. the worst part was the rain delays. i put an alarm in my phone and snoozed every 10 mins to make sure i was awake when play resumed. ingenious, isn't it?

i am glad i didn't die during the final. before the match started, when they were warming up and all, i think i felt more nervous than fed and nad combined. and surely during the match, my heart rate was more than theirs, even though they were doing vigorous exercise. hey, heightened emotions and stress cause increase in heart rate too!

and now i REALLY WANT TO VISIT LONDON. with its architecture, and the cobblestoned footpaths, and the fashion (black everything except a gorgeous scarf) and of course visiting the now sacred lawns of SW19.

to this day, i don't understand why out of the 4 grand slams, wimbledon is the one that every player covets. i just don't get it. after 4 french open trophies, nadal wanted a wimbledon trophy the most. and everyone just talks about the tradition etc etc.. but i still dont get it.. what is the big lure behind wimbledon?

i think i've been able to appreciate tennis, how difficult it is to hit certain shots, etc, much more this year, cos i actually tried playing. i shall not go into the details of that, but let's just say serving is much much harder than they make it look.

i didn't bet on anyone in this year's final, but i thought the match would end in 4 sets. i didn't think it could top last year's final. how wrong i was.

i'm already looking forward to next year's wimbledon final.

2007-10-19T11:17:00.001+08:00

hahaha this post is to prove to mai that i updated before her!

i had a great time yday. feeling majorly guilty now for LBD-ing/FACEBOOK-ing/PP-ing/GA-ing/DH-ing and MONK-ing my week away. not to mention UGLY BETTY-ing. worse than being pissed off at others is being pissed off at yourself.

i just hope i do well enough to deserve the enjoyment that i've planned after eos.

and i think i have now cultivated a love-hate relationship with shonda rhymes. right now my shondamood is major hate cos it's all her fault that her freaking shows are so freaking addictive that i have to watch them NOW.

and i would also like to blame shah rukh khan, for no matter how cocky he seems at award shows (recall him being nominated for best actor for 2 movies, and he won one and goes "which movie have i won for?" or smth along those lines) his movies (well most of them) are so hard to resist watching when it comes on a lazy sunday afternoon when you're supposed to be STUDYING.

i watched sa re ga ma pa as well. i was rooting for amanat but oh well. himesh reshammiya is SO IRRITATING!!! omg. no one should ever give him the damn mike, he can't stop talking.

some people never learn.

genting was awesome. 2 perfect days. i wish i didn't have to come back here. and i'm so glad i was persuaded enough to go on the corkscrew. i feel such a sense of accomplishment. i have officially done a 360d roller coaster! whee but the cyclone wasnt operational, so irritating. it was working the next day though, when we left. grrrh.

i have some really nice memories of the place, and can't wait for redang (or whichever other beachy place) to happen! :) unfortunately we have to go through 7 weeks and 2 days of hell before that.

2007-09-27T00:20:00.000+08:00

- i dont think i know you anymore. and i dont think i want to either

-i want to go back to genting.

-i want to be 15 again.

-i want to go on a summer holiday.

-i want to have more guts.

-i want to ...

i don't know. haa.

-the taste of tussils is growing on me. ew.

-i need to start studying.

and the image of home is so very vivid, burned in my mind like the illuminati sign was burnt on leonardo vetra's chest, the only difference being i don't smell my own burnt flesh, but what assaults my nostrils is the stench of the apple core that i don't even remember when i ate, that lies in my dustbin, me having forgotten to change its plastic bag lining.

i dont even have to close my eyes to see the purple walls, purple and pink cupboards with the ledge over the windows, bookshelf filled with my chicklit collection and A level stuff that i still havent cleared, the huge desk that i sat at for 9 years, although the tablecloth changes periodically, the wood is still the same, as is the chair, the computer opposite, the huge mess that's always there next to the bed, you can be sure it will always be there, as sure as anyone is that the sun will rise tomorrow.

but what i don't miss is the love, because the love will be there wherever i go, whatever i do.

ANNEY! (pronounced un-ney)

thats my newfound favourite word. its like a sri lankan word and i have no idea wat it means. apparently its smth like haiyoh. but i think its like lah, but just that u use it in the front of the sentence instead of at the back.

been having too much fun lately. need to get back to studying.

life is not fair, most of the time.

you realise this when rafael nadal has to play his third round match over 5 days, through 8 rain delays and has to endure his opponent making fun of him by digging his ass as well, whereas federer gets 6 days of REST because his 4th round opponent withdraws from the tournament due to an injury.

and you realise this again when everyone else's house is all fine and dandy but your house seems to have infinite problems, what with the internet company rep telling you misinformation that causes you to shell out RM500 deposit, and the owner not bothering to pay outstanding maintenance bills causing your house to be under constant threat of a water cut.

and you realise this when you see what a f***ed up ar$e the owner's agent is.

and you realise this when moths with wingspan of 4cm come into your room and fly around near the light, making that really awful sound by the flapping of their wings JUST WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO SLEEP, thereby causing your sleep to be disturbed... and then you hope you don't have nightmares of superhuge moths attacking you with their bloody huge wingspans.

and you realise this when you only have one week's holiday, which btw, was wonderful, but it would have been even better if it was at least for two weeks.

life is unfair. but the alternative is dying. so which would you choose?

i'm hoping like mad that those muscles of rafa's and that mental tenacity will help him play his best against berdych even though his last two matches have been 5 setters.

and i'm hoping my owner is not out of town, again.

SARS is a coronavirus. corona means crown.

just felt like writing that.

ok i'm done complaining.

2007-06-27T10:33:00.000+08:00

well, i'm blogging after another hiatus. AGAIN.

the summative is over and this one week back feels like the elixir of life or something. i feel so blessed right now. if my whole life were like this one week, how nice that would be. but well. too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and u don't appreciate it enough.

but anyway. i'm not going to think about the amount of memorising i'll have to do once i go back. this one week is purely for MY PLEASURE!!!!!!!!

bwahahahahah.

omggg i read pants on fire.

all i can say is, if i ever meet meg cabot, i'm gonna give her a big fat hug and tell her to please write at a faster speed.

and hm. dougray scott is hott! its such a pity he left the show :(

and james and susan are so bloody cute together!!!!!!!!

well. i'm going off to meet the person who has known me for 14 years... and still is my friend :) hahahahhaa

shalom!

2007-06-09T17:32:00.000+08:00

hello everybody on another day.

that's how rafa started one of his blog entries. it's so funny, so cute. and it's such a pleasure reading his interview transcripts. like the one today after he defeated djokovic, he was being asked tons of qns in english (and more than once about those pirate pants, haha) and then the moderator goes, "questions in spanish please".

and then rafa goes smth like, yes please, don't ask me anything more in english cos i don't know nothing more in english.

so he's picked up the all-american double negative thing. the dont know nothing thing. which actually means know everything. the double negative is kind of annoying. but haha, i shall forgive him cos his english is kind of poor.

so excited for tmr's finals. the roger-rafa showdown, part II.

may the best on clay win!

2007-04-25T18:15:00.000+08:00

the things that only happen to me.

i lost my pencil case on sunday. sounds so juvenile, doesn't it. so primary school. and with my pencil case went my keychain, the one that spells 3/4 of my name. and ALL my pretty coloured pens. and my ubercool pencil whose lead has 7 colours. my life is colourless now. it's amazing how much attachment one can have towards their possessions, esp pencil cases. i mean. who would have thought? most often the things people lose are HP and wallets, and of course that hurts a lot. but so does losing your pencil case. and it had a lot of sentimental value. it was a bday present. sigh.

(note: i do not want another pencil case for my bday, thank you very much. i'd have gotten myself another one by then.)

i was packing my stuff on sunday night and found V's stapler was with me. and out of habit i thought, "i should put that into my pencil case" and a split second later, i realised with a pang, i don't have my pencil case any longer. it's really weird. and i had a dream in which someone told me where my pencil case was. if only dreams come true.

ok. i think i should stop waxing lyrical about my pencil case. or a sarah-esque person will haul me up for psychiatric help. (sarah a la size 12 is not fat).

and THEN. this morning, just as i was ready to leave, i wanted to put on my lanyard, and it's there... but hanging from it was just my thumbdrive. my ID card was MISSING! and i went into hyperpanicmode. duh. that's what i'm famous for. so i was sitting there, eating my cereal, getting extremely delayed for class, when i decided this is probably a GOOD thing, now i can actually use this excuse to get a new ID card with a BETTER PICTURE.

then in the middle of the lecture, S turned around and waved my ID card at me. i was like. ohthankGod. afterwards she told me the B guards gave it to her. and i was like. huh? how'd they get it. then i realised. it must've fallen when i was in front of B.

and get this. it was kind of damaged. the kiap (haha mai!) was totally flattened and it's pretty unusable as a kiap. cos it can't kiap any longer. (i'm sure there's a proper english word for kiap, but i don't know it, period.) and the card itself had strange depressions in it. and S said she thought it had been run over by a car. hahaha. yes, i think so too.

everything happens for the best, no? life is full of small miracles, in nushy's words. i thought of getting it replaced with a card with a BETTER PICTURE but. the damage is, unfortunately, not that severe. obviously life's miracles are not big enough. no matter, i shall ask one of my car-owning friends to drive over it. again and again.

the things people do for vanity.

2007-04-16T17:39:00.000+08:00

coolness! now we can blog in hindi! like, how cool is that!

but i don't think i'm gonna be doing that anytime soon because the last time i wrote something other than my name in hindi was on someone's birthday card and... basically, he couldn't read a thing of what i had written. good thing i wrote "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" in english. cos that's what matters most on your birthday right?

so baby, time's getting a little crazy ......

yesterday i put my foot into my mouth. pretty majorly. even though my foot is big and my mouth is small, literally. *cringes* but i think it'll be ok. anyway.

IDIOT i miss you so much!

it's great when you make someone's monday =)

today the escalators were working. like, WOW. OMG. THAT'S AMAZING. IN JUST A SHORT TIME. it's about time man. but they'll stop working after wednesday. they are only working these 3 days cos of the VVVVVVVIPs. suckups. so the escalators work on 4 days a year.

1) open day

2, 3, 4) the 3 days that the VVVVVVVVIPs come to visit.

it was a great weekend.

why do all good things come to an end?

2007-04-07T22:33:00.000+08:00

gonna eat now.

bye!

this was a dumb post.

yesterday i was near devastated when i heard nadal lost to djokovic.

until i came home with V and THERE'S A FRIGGIN LIZARD IN DA HOUSE! (haha!! sean paul!)

then.

the dear housemates DIDNT WANT TO KILL IT. why? COS ITS SO POOR THING.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like, excuse me?

me: what good does a lizard do!

they: it eats flies!

me (thinking): so now you want flies in the house also, so that the lizard can kill it?????

and yea. i'm a HORRIBLE bargainer. Av said she's brought down the price of specs from 70 to 9 ringgit!

COOLNESS!

anw. back to the lizard.

i had to kill it. yes, me, the animal loving vegetarian. arent you all proud of me? i actually dared to go near enough to spray it with FUMAKILLA (which sucks btw cos it didnt actually kill the lizard, it just put it through lot of agony, and then its tail dropped off and then there were TWO THINGS WRIGGLING ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR INSTEAD OF ONE.) and then A sprayed the ever trustworthy BAYGON on it, then it died.

FINALLY!!!

i think i don't have enough brains to understand brains.

did i mention how much i hate the nervous system?

2007-03-30T12:23:00.000+08:00

laughter is the best medicine.

today's dumb blonde moments.

Av has a bottle of dark liquid.

Am: what's that?

Av: chlorophyll.

Am: why are u drinking chlorophyll?

Av: it's good for blood circulation!

T: why is it green?

laughter erupts. omg that was so funny! why is chlorophyll green??! haha.

second.

Av tells us a riddle.

Av: in the forest, there's a carrot, twigs and some charcoal. why is it there?

us: we give up, tell us why.

Av: because in the winter, my snowman melted and what remained was carrots, twigs and charcoal!

laughter erupts.

me: but why is there charcoal?

Av: for the eyes, nose and buttons, darling.

me: don't you use twigs for that?

LAUGHTER ERUPTS. i am surprised we weren't thrown out.

Av: noooooooo! you dont use twigs for those! twigs are for the arms, darling!

ok. so u learn something new everyday.

2007-03-16T20:57:00.000+08:00

hi everyone.

i dont think anyone comes to read this space anymore but anw.

ermm. i just. want to remember what i should remember and, well, let myself be guided.

only time will tell.

my eyes hurt from looking at hte computer screen for so long.

today was my awakening.

thank you to all my girls who listen to my rantings.

I LOVE YOU ALL!

and to my personal steak machine, you know who you are, THANK YOU.

i cannot wait to be back in the country where you can like, sleep on the floors of the public toilets and... see all my people again.

:)

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

2007-02-21T12:27:00.000+08:00

it doesnt seem as if anyone's reading this. but anyway. i shall type anyway.

whyy do i have to sign in to blogger with my google account from now on? it makes no sense, yo! annoying!!!

i went through stuff today and it makes me feel so JOY TO THE WORLDish. life was much easier back then, but back then we thought our problems were unsolvable.

i guess ten years later, we'll think the same thing.

but i feel really happy right now.

*warning, spoilers for the break up*

i watched the break up yday. it had an interesting ending. they broke up but were still in love with each other, and tried to make the other jealous/tried to forget each other, but it wasn't working. and then they did the heart to heart, and i thought they would make up and somehow buy back their condo and live happily ever after. but the movie ended in a way that they were happy but not with each other. so it's not the typical romantic comedy that you get, and that was a good thing.

*end of spoilers*

oh, and i was touted to be the next russell peters! except, the person said PETER RUSSELL, which just provided everyone else with more incriminating evidence that that person was the anonymous tagger on someone else's blog. so that was really funny.

i had a great CNY. let's see what transpires in the year of the pig. (other than green plants of course).

i'm thirsty.

2007-02-14T14:45:00.000+08:00

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY! =) :) ;)

p.s. no, i did not make this myself! and even nadal is not this sweet :)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

2007-02-14T00:06:00.000+08:00

i am not fat either! and i miss you!

2007-02-08T12:20:00.000+08:00

gah, my pictures cannot be seen.

today on oprah there was a child molestor, some kids who were molested (some by him too) and the parents of those kids. the child molestor was actually the FATHER of one of the girls, and he had molested her. and he sought forgiveness and gave this message out to the 10000000s of viewers who watch, telling them to confess if they'd molested any child before, cos a child is hurting because of them, etc etc.

and the girl who he'd molested (i think his daughter) said she forgave him and asked him if she could hug him. and they hugged. and the mothers said they dont forgive him and they think he will never change, etc etc.

but wow, the kid who hugged her molestor/father and forgave him sure has a big heart. not many people can do that, i think.

let's hope the molestor/father really meant it when he apologised.

2007-02-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

absolutely gorgeous.

2007-02-07T21:30:00.000+08:00

pretty, na?

2007-01-30T15:36:00.000+08:00

KC: so how are you doing?

me: i'm depressed.

KC: why??!

me: because nadal lost.

KC: HAHAHA.

me: (makes indignant noises)

KC: i'm very happy, because i don't like nadal. either you have to be depressed, or i have to be depressed. it's better you than me.

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

yes, nadal lost to gonzo. quite a bummer. but the 2 semi finals were so pathetically one sided, it was funny. although i feel a teeny bit sorry for roddick. (Damn everything! SorryGod!)

federer won his 10th major. i don't think he remembers what it feels like to lose. or maybe his 5 losses last year (4 were to nadal, HA!) hurt even more. cos he could have had a 97-0 win-loss record. shrugs.

sartorially speaking, (that word always reminds me of lionel seah), mirka was wearing the coloured version of the LV monogram shirt-thingy. i know a lot of people beg to differ, but i find that print on a shirt a tad distasteful. on bags it looks good, but to wear it on your body directly? serena williams was in the men's singles final. her acid green dress was replaced by a sombre grey sweatshirt-thingy. talk about wanting to blend in the crowd.

2007-01-23T19:40:00.000+08:00

"the pression is always there, no?"

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

rafa successfully defeated murray yday!!!! now to tackle red hot chile pepper gonzalez. it's a bit sad, for him to play gonzalez, cos i support gonzalez as well. i wish they could have met in the semis instead. but oh well. if i have to choose between the two, no prize for guessing who.

2007-01-20T19:41:00.000+08:00

this entry is another one of those where i rant and rave about rafa. so, if you don't want to read it, click BACKSPACE now.

rafarafarafa is through to the 4th round at the aussie open, where it looks like he'll be joined by briton andy murray, unless chela can pull some magic out of his hat. but, i'm not sure he's wearing a hat cos they aren't showing the match! they're showing lleyton hewitt vs fernando gonzalez, and looks like our chilean is going to win. the interesting fact is, chela beat hewitt in last year's aussie open. but the tennis world is almost as fickle as the fashion world. "either you're in or you're out".

so. you know those people whom you thought were sane all your life, and then there comes a moment in their lives where they're hoping for all the luck they need, and suddenly you find them walking around black cats (so that the kitties don't cross their paths) and ladders (at least this one makes sense, you don't want that ladder falling on your head). in the same vein, yours truly is starting to get a lil superstitious that if she blogs about monday's potential match, her dearest rafa might, well, you know. i'm not gonna type it! see what i mean about superstition?

speaking of superstition, james blake said that he's superstitious about his beard! when he wins a match, he doesnt shave his beard.. till he loses! and the interviewer goes, "well in that case you're gonna look like santa claus soon!" HAHA!!!

on that jolly note, adios! and VAMOS!

2007-01-09T21:28:00.000+08:00

ok, i am back from hiding.

my gosh. someone should really complain to our bus services. today i had near traumatising experiences. first, it was raining. and the place where i was sitting, was leaking rainwater from the sides of the windows and condensation from the aircon was falling on my head.

and if rainwater falling on me is not bad enough, (and it's really bad cos I HATE THE RAIN), on the way back A FREAKING SPIDER fell on me. a SPIDER, YO! what if it was like, a black widow or something? would i be alive to type this, to warn all unsuspecting bus commuters against the fauna that thrives in our buses? NO! and then you might just have something horrible happening. but, i survived.

and i think now that the sole purpose of my existence (and survival) is to help make our buses a safer place to travel, so that some profits from SMRT will also go to SBS.

What Do Women Want?

I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what's underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty's and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
doughnuts in their cafe, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I'm the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm you worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I'll pull that garment
from its hanger like I'm choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and love-cries too,
and I'll wear it like bones, like skin,
it'll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

shiiiiite. can things get more embarassing?

ok so maybe i can't be a PI. nevermind. i shall try being a poet or embroider(er) or something.

ZETA! how am i going to live this down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to melt into the ground.

alright. deep breath.

well today was actually very interesting.

1. embarassment

2. annoyance

3. trust

in that order.

well for the annoyance bit, this is the gist of it.

this person annoyed me. so i kind of retaliated in a sarcastic way. but now that i think about it, that person might be too damn stewpid to figure out that i was actually being sarcastic.

loserr.

ok. REALLY need to get my helpsheet done by tmr. if not. NO PRISON BREAK.

ok it's 4.15 am. i am going crazy and if i don't get some sleep, i won't be able to wake up for my 3 slices of peanut butter sandwich and beautiful tea.

there was FINALLY peanut butter at breakfast again. yaay.

yday i totally did a PI and i must say, i can totally be a PI. alternate career path, no?

ok rafa won robredo. if he didn't. i donno wat i woulda done. i dunno what HE woulda done man.

ok now he just needs to win nikolay. and then he can set up an SF clash with the federer express.

which i hope i can watch. i hope i hope i hope that the match is the 2nd match of the day!!!

and finally my utube became ok. i was at the hawtt-rubbish (haha sorry nu) and i clicked on the utube link an VOILA! it wasnt loading for 10, 000 years! so i went to utube.com and i could FINALLY watch one of moi most fave moments of grey's. forgive the pseudo-french here, but when you have not one but TWO friends learning francais, it's bound of rub off man.

for my dear atmos chem, i was reading about the "snowball earth" that scientists say occured billions of years ago. it's basically a time when the entire planet was covered in snow and ice. and they say it could happen again, "if we screw up our atmosphere badly enough".

so think twice before you tell someone to "chill out". the Earth may be listening ;)

i was reading a book last week. the dad had mumps and the son came and saw him, and said "oh look, it's Puff Daddy!"

today, in my 2 hour break from 10-12, i slept for 1 hour.

and i had the sweetest dream ever.

in my dream,

nadal had moved into KR and was staying there whenever he wasn't in any tournament.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and. he posed for photographs with me.

but. i had to wake up.

but.

it.

was.

so.

real.

on another note, when you ask someone a question, and they reply "it's a long story", usually you take the hint and SHUT YOUR GAP and STOP ASKING ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT TOPIC.

but SOME PEOPLE are SO THICK (or they pretend to be, i don't know which is worse) that they still pester you to throw them more info on that topic even after you've said the 4 magic words.

omg, seriously.

i do or die.

"i do" or "die".

my fabled wit is back with a vengeance!

some jokes are only appreciated in context. the whole fun in witty comments is only at that instant, if you try to explain it, the charm is gone.

also darling, it's too intellectual a joke for you to understand.

the things people post on public forums is really quite amusing. we had a re-test for one module cos some people were cheating. and the re-test was 15.5% harder than the first test. so this is the ranting of one person on the public forum:

HELLO !!!!!! GREAT HONEST GUYS OF NUS....FULL OF INTEGRITY!!!!!!!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW......

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!TO GIVE THE RETEST!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

i mean what was that????i mean useless questions requiring us to memorise the names of all those stupid scientists......there are dozens of them....and every scientist did something......and so difficult questions regarding the odd - oxygen loss cycle....so many of them....i have gone through each lecture slide thoroughly around at least five times...and still cant figure out from where the lecturer makes those questions.....

GREAT JOB DONE SIR!!!!!i am not fired....,,COMPLETELY BLAAAAASTED!!!!!!!

and this person still had not cooled down after 3 hours and 19 minutes

OMG!!!!!

I STILL CANT FIGURE OUT A LOT OF ANSWERS!!!!EITHER THERE IS " SOMETHING " MISSING IN THE LECTURE NOTES OR MY EYESIGHT IS GETTING POOR!!!!if i cant figure out the answer after the test.....how on earth am i going to know it before the test!!!!

AMAZING !!!!!A HELL OF A MASTERPIECE!!!!

after that, people started getting personal on the forum. it was such a hoot to read.

at what point do you draw the line?

at what point do you compromise your own integrity?

2006-11-02T23:07:00.000+08:00

i got a tagboard. but it's under "about me" and not under "tag". so pls click on the puffy-cheeked rafa and write your positive comments.

spamming is NOT appreciated, thank you very much.

i'm tempted to start a "dream series".

what dream did yday still cannot top wat dream did last friday. if eavesdropping and then having the cheek to confess and say "i cant hear what you're saying now" isn't the epitome of distasteful behaviour,

i don't know what is.

btw, I HATE t-bag from prison break. but the actor who plays him does a good job.

joey, ross or chandler. haha. so funny =)

i have been branded as someone whose life revovles around tv.

like, DUH!

sigh, prison break ended at such a climax. (?) i SO want to know what happens in the next episode. ok i kind of know, it's obvious that the lead actor will save the lady who'll eventually become his love interest. small glitch, we will find out in later episodes that our leading man is *gasp* married.

whoops, did i spoil the whole of prison break for you?

cpanel is really getting on my nerves. i still am clueless about how it came about and who the hell hacked into my tagboard account or whatever to replace it with cpanel, or is the whole of tagboard dot com being taken over by weirda$$ cpanel?

people swear a lot more openly and frequently in uni. point to ponder.....

part one: denny died.

part two: izzie cried.

part one: before denny died, bailey comes in and says "you fools better have a good explanation for this".

if anyone should be the role model to show how love makes you a really foolish fool, it's izzie.

ok its not the end of the world that survivor cook islands is axed from singapore tv.

=)

thanks di!

wheeeeeee.

i cannot WAIT for deepavali/diwali. it didn't really sink it that it's coming again till i went to little india yesterday and it was such an amazing atmosphere. the decor is like even more gorgeous this year, the peacocks lining up serangoon road. i saw a shop selling the really cool decor (what do u call it?) which i've wanted for soooooo long. the looong hanging thingys. but of course there are better places to buy it. har har.

yea little india is really brimming with the air of imminent festivity. flower shops selling garlands made from the orange colour flower (i don't know its name, never did pay much attention in bio ;) and of course red roses... and the gold shops are MINTING MONEY! 1g of gold costs $39++!!! like. there is a LIMIT to how high you can go. but its a worldwide gold price increase so... nothing can be done about it. not that im gonna buy gold. period.

i just felt so happy there. can't explain the feeling. (oh wait, happiness is a feeling.)

the haze was SO BAD yesterday. man. it stank so bad. i got a MAJOR headache by evening time. or maybe it was due to the amount of time i spent staring at the screen. haa.

2006-10-06T23:36:00.000+08:00

i love my friends. i am so blessed to have wonderful, witty and FUNNY friends. here's an excerpt from an email from moo:

OMG!!!
i just read the recap for GA season 3 episode 2, the I Am A Tree one, and Addison is so spiteful in it. She's so good in the episode man!!!!

first she slaps meredith in the face, not quite so literally but it might have been better had she just physically slapped her, by publicly 'announcing' on the bulletin board about her slutty, but so unbearably hot, neurosurgeon husband and his even more slutty soon-not-to-become-ex-mistress's little sexcapade the night before at the prom!!! but stupid Callie finds an intense need at that moment to save meredith's skinny non-existent ass! i like Callie but i don't understand why she constantly needs to score brownie points with The Slut of Seattle Grace. no, actually, make that just Seattle.

and then slap no. 2: McDreamy, who i think deserves the title of Satan more, goes to salmon -coloured-scrubs-wearing saint of a wife's hotel room to tell her that their marriage is over and that he's in love with his ultimate slutty ex-ex-mistress, only to find another guy walk out her steamy bathroom clad in nothing but a towel! SLAP If that's not a hard enough slap, get this: the guy's McSteamy who very eloquently proclaims that they, ie. all 3 of them, are having yet another trademark Grey's awkward moment!!!

haha i so love Addison Montgomery-Shepherd!!!!

and Izzie bakes, and bakes, and distributes muffins in Joe's and then goes back to baking some more, cos its probably very therapeutic, but i wouldn't know, until Little Nazi Bailey comes by and snaps her out of her baking trance.

oh and meredith is all proud and good-girly at the end of the episode cos she has come up with the perfect solution to her McVet and McDreamy problem...or so she thinks. but you just feel like slapping her into non-existence for thinking that the entire world is in love with, and therefore, revolves around her! Meredith Grey Must Die!!!

oh the bathroom wasn't exactly steamy, or it might have been but the recapper sure didn't mention it and i haven't watched the episode to verify that little but very fitting detail, but i couldn't resist using it!!! you know, cause it was McSteamy stepping out of the steaming bathroom.

i miss moo!

cant wait to see you!

and mos too!

yes nu, that was meant

to be a poem. albeit a

short one. ha ha ha

(btw the above was a 5-7-5 haiku HAHA!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAI!!

2006-10-05T09:20:00.000+08:00

i hate it when they come to fumigate. the person fumigating, nothing happens to them. they just wear a mask, spray white clouds of disgusting smells around, then leave the place. the smell lingers for those who are literally,

SITTING DUCKS!

mle later. argh.

2006-10-04T15:52:00.000+08:00

ahhh. i am so satisfied! hahahaha (sounds wrong eh.) i had one of the best meals for lunch today @ science canteen. everyone says the food is the worst at science but they've not tasted the indian food there! omg its SO GOOD. compared to the other trash i've been forced to eat for the past how many weeks. there's only these many subway sandwiches one can take!

=) YAY im so happy!!! haha. from now on, i shall alternate between science n subway. haha!

BUT the pineapple juice i bought (which smelt like cotton candy to some) is really horrible! it has NO TASTE! neither sweet nor sour, just a faint hint of pineapple somewhere.. eurgh. the best pineapple juice i've had is in the deck. which is gonna close soon........

ok food critique over!

IFG tonight! im quite excited!

ya and anon people really have nothing else to do than to try IN VAIN to make others feel small. for what?? crazy shi-ats. in the end, only kindness matters as jewel puts it in her reallyoldsong hands. which is still a nice song. i mean, it has stood the test of time!

TTYL!!!!!!! hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahaha

2006-10-04T00:45:00.000+08:00

AML is like, i dunno wat to think of him. he is really funny sometimes (listen to your wife always) but i really dunno how to study the module. its part history, part chemistry, part non.sense. but i always always look forward to it cos P, P and M are sooooo much fun. i dunno what i wud do in lects without them.

and in other lectures, there is GY and sabreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i love them! :D :D

i miss all my friends. i love you guys. u know who you are. i want feb 4 to never come. and those who have gone already, i miss them hell loads too.

i declare that i officially hate time. if time ceased to exist, the 8 months would have lasted forever, no?

2006-09-10T16:50:00.000+08:00

i'm always getting flak for writing about nothing other than tennis (more paticularly, nadal) recently, but i'm gonna do it some more.

have i mentioned that nothing is going my way at flushing??! like:

1. world no. 2 nadal loses to world no. 54 mikhael youzhny.
2. sharapova beats amelie mauresmo (who is a lesbian btw) in the semi finals
3. jankovic loses to justine henin-hardenne in the semi finals

and then sharapova wins the US open. ok compared to HH, i prefer sharapova. lesser of the 2 evils and all. why don't i like HH? once she served when her opponent wasn't ready to receive and then later defended her actions in a post-match interview. where's the sportsmanship, peoble!!!!

i like amelie mauresmo. her first grand slam was won because her opponent (HH) retired, hence the world was not ready to believe that she's grand slam champion material. but she proved that she actually is in wimbledon this year, beating the same opponent (HH) and HH was fit as a fiddle. YAYY!

so it's gonna be really interesting who wins tonight's men's finals. if i was into betting, i would place my money on rolling roger. si, i grudgingly admit that he is probably the greatest player of all time.

2006-09-06T00:57:00.000+08:00

i cannot believe that steve irwin is dead. one minute he was alive and holding his kickingbaby in front of crocs, the next min he's dead by a stingray tail/posionous venom. it's really very sad. a lot of people say that he was asking for it, facing danger head-on so many times n everything, but to die cos ur heart was punctured by a stingray tail is so very disgusting and... well i just hope he had a quick death.

and he leaves behind 2 young kids n a wife too. so sad.

andre agassi has retired, no thanks to benjamin becker from germany. it's also very sad. both these events have reiterated that life is short.

when it doesnt rain, it snows
and the cookie crumbles but in whose hands
all things said and all things done
life is short.

i am young but i have aged
..................hum....................

ok i dunno the lyrics of the song anymore

but its a realy nice song

the candied apple crumble at coffee club looks better than it tastes.

the mexicano too. unless you're a SERIOUS coffee drinker (ie java roast and not caramel frappucino), DO NOT DRINK IT.

i want to try the apple crumble at raffles city basement, but 1/2 of the people who dares to share is leaving.... on a jet car

rafa update: he's in the QFs now. and fredred is out. though i dont like andy murray.

and i cant believe maria sharapova is with andy roddick for over a year!!!

2006-08-14T22:31:00.000+08:00

i know everyone is sitting at the edges of their seats, salivating at the screen, just waiting for me to type who the winner of rogers' cup is.

because u want to know HERE instead of at the official rogers' cup website.

ha ha.

rogers' cup is roger's cup after all.

cincy open from today to sunday. rafa better give roger a run for his money man.

on the first day of christmas my parents (?) gave to me.......

one doll house!

watched numb3rs today. ch 19, 9-10 pm, mon nights.

2006-08-13T17:59:00.000+08:00

har har, i feel like updating again!

i know everyone is not interested in wat's happening to nadal, but i'm going to type it anyway.

he lost the third round of ATP rogers' cup to TOMAS BERDYCH, who i hate now, by default. and looks like rogers' cup will indeed be roger's cup. darrrn.

no matter though, cos the ATP cincinnati open starts monday. so that's something to look forward to while i dread going back to the wake-up at unearthly hours to travel a freaking depressing distance every day routine. GRRR!

i wish the past 8 months could last forever. i'm sure everyone wishes that actually. i had a great time, and i shall try to look forward to boring, mundane, routine stuff now.

everyone, i'm going to miss all of you so much.

2006-07-27T21:29:00.000+08:00

it's one thing to play. but to like, watch? i mean, on the telly, not live. i guess watching it live u can be awestruck at the star power of tiger and ernie. but to watch on the telly??

...

2006-07-26T19:46:00.000+08:00

meow. that was my sound.

well, it's old news now, but i have to say it here. rafa didn't win wimbledon. no matter, there's always next year. roger really played excellent tennis, much as i hate to admit. the commentator was saying about roger and rafa's relationship: " great friends, great enemies, the best tennis players in the world" or something like that. it's really interesting, how they have such tremendous amount of respect for each other and bring out the best tennis in each other. when they play with other people, they show sparks of genius. but against each other, it's genius from beginning to end.

goodness, i cant believe they're showing anger management on tv. it's full of worse-than-frat-boy humour. plus, there's jack nicholson. need i say more?

the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

2006-07-08T18:13:00.000+08:00

RAFA MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so once again it's the clash of the titans. tmr night, 9pm, ch 24. don't forget to tune in.

ok, i shall award a timeout to *those people* who said:

WHAT WILL THE KING OF CLAY DO ON GRASS?

why a timeout? you ask.

well, i give u a timeout so that you can EAT YOUR WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not spill any crumbs in places between the keys of the keyboard while you are reading this.

2006-07-01T18:34:00.000+08:00

it makes me rethink. correction, it makes me re-rethink.

i think the only people supporting rafa today are the group of hardcore rafa fans (incl choo & me), rafa's family and rafa himself. duh, right? but what i'm trying to say here is that those people who watch without favourites or anyone to support, those people who watch because they simply like to watch the game, even those people would probably be supporting the guy playing his last at SW 19.

why? (most) people have the tendency to feel pity, like, oh poor thing, he's going to retire at the end of the year, he should get to go out with his head held high, he should go out when he was on top, etc etc. but he probably doesn't want pity. people usually don't want pity. in this case though, it would gain him some sympathy supporters.

whoever the loser is tonight, it will be very very very very sad. but that's how life is, isn't it? you can't wish and pray that the world will end, that the whole kalyug thing is actually true, TONIGHT. well, u can wish and pray, but what are the odds that the world will end tonight, before there is a winner and hence, a loser?

in utopia, there would be no losers. and hence, there would be no winners. because u can't call a person a winner unless there's a loser (the word is nicely substituted by runner-up in some contests, think ms world, ms universe, ms any-country-in-the-free-world). so it wouldn't be utopia after all, would it?

when i think about the i-dont-even-want-to-think-about-how-long thing, the way things have unfolded have absolutely stenciled my belief in karma in stone.

due to the *cough* overwhelming success *cough* in people trying to solve not mine but EINSTEIN'S riddle, i shall just say that i am of course one of the gifted 2%, what kind of question is that??!

and even though someone has already discreetly written her answer on my tagboard for only all the internet world to see, i am not saying if it's the correct answer or not in my blog.

cos, like, i want this to be INTERACTIVE, yo! and participation, yo!

king of clay has a long way before he becomes king of the thing cows eat, i know that. here's wishing him all the best anyway!

2006-06-13T11:25:00.000+08:00

vamos rafael!

i am so happy, he successfully defended his roland garros title. 60 consecutive matches won on clay, and many more to come. and unfortunately, dear federer has to wait a year longer to try to get a career grand slam. i do have a lot of respect for the guy, he is a very good sportsman, (ie has sportsmanship) and is a very good player. so all the best to him.

to test the minds of everyone reading the trash (ahem) that i write here, please feel free to do the following quiz and see if you can solve it!

godspeed!

Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the early 20th century. He said that 98% of the population would not be able to solve it.

Who Owns The Fish?

In a street there are 5 houses painted 5 different colors. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The 5 homeowners each drink a different beverage, smokes a different brand of cigarettes and keeps a different pet.

THE QUESTION : WHO OWNS THE FISH?

Hints for solution:

1. The Brit lives in a red house

2. The Swede has a dog

3.The Dane drinks tea

4. the Green house is on the left of the White house

5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee

6. The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds

7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhills

8. The man living in the center house drinks milk

9. The Norwegian lives in the first house

10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who has cats

11. The man who has horses lives next do the man who smokes Dunhills

12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer

13. The German smokes Prince

14. The Norwegian lies next to the blue house

15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water

a lot of people tell me they're bored (at work or wherever else) so naughty naughty, if you're looking at this when you're actually being PAID to WORK, might as well give that grey matter a workout!

it doesnt take that long, do try it and send me your answers, i will let you know if you're right.

KISS MY ACE!!

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

oh. my. goodness.

i was at wikipedia at on a whim, decided to click 'singapore'. and the article talks about sg's history, stamford raffles, politics, botanic gardens, newater... and abt education too. and.. this is the image that is being projected to the virtual world about our ecucation:

However, there have been criticisms of the education system by parents who complain about rigidity and an encouragement of rote by the prominent use of large examinations to judge ability, as well as complaints about excessive educational streaming in entry to schools. A major element of the examination-based education system is the common usage of ten year series by students in order to practice for examinations.

okay.

i just finished 3/4 of my stash of THE THING. guess wat it is. clue:

ingredients: wheat flour, malted barley, malt extract, sugar, dried skimmed milk, calcuim carbonate, dried whey, vegetable fat, milk proteins, gluten, salt, silicon dioxide, potassium bicarbonate, vitamins (C, Niacin, A, pantothenic acid, B6, B2, B1, A, folic acid, D, biotin, B12), ferric pyrophosphate and Zinc oxide.

so now i've given a clue, the whole list of ingredients (i'm going seriously barmy) (btw, is that even a word?!) those interested can try to guess what is my current stuffing-my-mouth-with food of the moment.

and no, it's not chocolate.

survivor: quite sad that bruce had to go off the game with bladder and colon and (well basically almost his whole gut) blockage. dear dear. not being able to poop for 12 days.. hmm. but jeff said he's gonna be ok so.. yea. so well everyone else was guaranteed 3 more days o the island and terry didnt have to use his hidden immunity idol. hmm.

Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, commonly known as Gray's Anatomy, is an anatomy textbook widely regarded as a classic work on human anatomy. The book was first published under the title Gray's Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical in Great Britain in 1858, and the following year in the United States.

Henry Gray wrote the original version of Gray's Anatomy with an audience of medical students and physicians in mind, especially surgeons.

so one can conclude that the book was the kind of inspiration (?) for the tv series, seeing that the drama revolves around 5 surgical interns and their bosses. this is what wiki says:

Grey's Anatomy is an award-winning and popular American primetime television medical drama. The pilot episode aired March 27, 2005. The show stars Ellen Pompeo as Dr. Meredith Grey, a surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington. The plot concerns her and her fellow interns, their love lives, and the struggles to handle their workloads. The title is a pun on Gray's Anatomy, a famous anatomy textbook.

HAHA. omg izzie says this to alex one fine day: "On your very best day, that corpse is twice the man you will ever be. You're not good enough for me, Alex. You're not good enough for anyone.

Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd: Head of neurosurgery at SGH. He slept with Meredith Grey before their first day of work at SGH. He later found out she was an intern and continued to pursue a relationship. He abruptly ended the relationship with Meredith when his estranged wife, Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery Shepherd. As of now, he remains married to Addison, and is trying to work things out.

Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan: A plastic surgeon. Formerly Derek's best friend. While the Shepherds were still living in New York, Mark and Addison were caught in bed by Derek, prompting him to seek a new life in Seattle. In the episode entitled 'Yesterday', he attempts to bring Addison back to New York, saying he is still in love with her but she refuses and stays in Seattle. It is also revealed that after Derek left for Seattle, Addison continued her relationship with Mark for a period of time before heading to Seattle to try and mend her relationship with her estranged husband, Derek. Also in the episode 'Yesterday', Mark was flirting with Meredith. In the middle of the flirting, Derek came over and punched Mark. Later in the episode, Mark points out to Meredith that when Derek caught Addison and him in bed, he just walked away but, when Derek saw him even talking to Meredith, Derek punched him.

there's actually a website called www.flu.gov.sg.

i can't wait for 1pm!!!!!!! i want terry to win immunity so badly, those stupid ex-cassia (or is it la mina?) are so pissing. shane's off his rocker, aras is an arse (albeit a smokin' one) and courtney should go back to fire dancing (which she does quite well, i might add).

i want terry to win coz i dont want him to have to use his exile island-found immunity idol (which looks quite gross.) he has the potential to win all 7 immunities in a row so it'd be an interesting thing to talk abt during the reunion show.

haha.

la mina.. la minah..

yday at a chocolate shoppe, this young couple came to the counter and the girl squeals, "i want the biggest cookie there!".

it's times like these when i want to roll my eyes twice.
