Keeping up with everything.

Pretty picture!

well not that pretty I’m laughing like a pretty lame ass there, but i think its a rather good photo no? Taken in Delicious…was enjoying brownies with Gavin and gang.

yea i realized that i haven’t blogged in a while..and yea for those who see my msn name i AM annoyed at certain stuff. I contemplated on blogging about it but i don’t wanna make this blog of mine into a dumping ground for complaints, cuz i’m sure you all people who read my blog would hate it right? i mean it’ll be the same old thing *coughluqmancough*, and i swear if i mention ‘IT’ anymore frequent people would think i’m in love with him. Yes, shut up Jeff.

Anyway. Here’s a not-so-random-question.

Do you get SPAT on? not being spat on like how i would get spat on by Jeff when i laugh about how he failed management, but spat on like when you’re talking to someone and someone sprays you with mouth juice?

no fear! introducing the all new patented invention, the “head covering used to prevent spitting!”

Yes! purchase now at curbsandmanspit.com and give it as a present to you dear spitting friends as a christmas present! It doubles as a superb fashion statement( or so you can lie), so sew on “cK” on the headgear and present it to your fashion coughsavycough friends!

ahem. yea so i actually feel much better now, and i’m quite surprised that i didnt condemn or complain about mr so-and-so but still manage to release stress=P

Its funny how sometimes we fail to notice stuff that exist around us everyday. take this picture for example:

mm okay maybe we do know what that is and where to find it. But my point is that sometimes we see stuff but we don’t SEE it you know? Like we don’t notice it and take note of what it is eventhough its there?

One very good example, is this:

Art on the lecture tables. I mean sure there are simple ones like this-

and then we have pretty cool ones like this-

surfer dude riding through the waves of boredom -_-”

but then we have masterpieces like this one-

Definitly not Malaysia 2020

So far i have refrained from posting anything about the little episodes and “banter” between the three friendly housemates. However some of the latest posts and tags have pretty much ticked me off so here i am plunging myself into something i shouldn’t.

It’ll be short, mind you people, cuz its 6.50 now and i gotta run off for school at 7.

- contrary to Tristan’s belief, in my opinion( and many others i’m sure) Eric is one of the smartest guys i’ve ever met.
- similarly, i also believe that Eric is an intellectual equal to Tristan, if not more.
-I also believe that using verbose and bombastic words and phrases in your blog and people tagboards does not make you a intellectual.
-If Eric is of no “substantial concern” to you, then why the spiteful and long tags in his tagboard?
-And finally, the tags ARE pretty contradictory.

Just doing my part to support a friend.

Before i start my round of flaming(again) i wanna say i kinda got all flustered when i read Max’s entry on me losing weight=/ i really am NOT the kind of person who is obsessed about getting thin..just..staying healthy? More so the reason why i wanted to get thin was to just get back to the size i was in my elc days. My rational is this- if i could be that size then, whats stopping me from being that size now?

Anyway. Enough about that. To the main topic. You know how this saying goes..”the leopard never changes its spots”(or was it “the zebra never changes its stripes”)? well, i never kinda believed that. I believed that people could change for the better or worse, though of course i’ll rather stick to the former. I have been proven right many a time, i’ve seen many people i use to hate change for the better and i’ve come to terms with them. Sadly this is not always the case.

This semester i have two labs in a day, one in the morning and another later in the afternoon. This week was pretty much hell because on thursday we had to endure a sleepless night doing our two lab reports for friday. So when the first lab started on Friday, i was pretty much a pissed grumpy dwarf already. Coupled with a useless pH meter that doesn’t take the right readings, that made me a really pissed grumpy dwarf. So imagine how i would feel if i was the one doing most of experiment with only one person helping me out? Other groups had a grand total of 4 people working together, and i had one person helping me out. Okay maybe i’ll rephrase this. I had one person helping me out while another gossiped and moaned and groaned about being in the lab while doing that little amount of stuff that he did. Ah. Thats more like it. How do you feel when you’re working your ass off while getting shitty results cuz the instruments are screwed up while listening to an idiot ramble on ” Aiyoh, i can’t take this anymore lah” Take WHAT, specifically? can’t take sitting down, squeezing some water while talking and moaning in a lab coat? well BOOHOO but excuse me, i’m working my ass off here!

*deep breath*

As if this wasn’t enough, the afternoon lab was even worse. First, he didn’t read the instructions properly. Oh yea sure you don’t have that page in your manual, but my partner had NO manual but she was able to caution me about the correct procedure. And after that at least i wasn’t as pissed because eventhough he was going on about Beyonce and Rihanna and goodness knows who, he was doing something. What really pissed me off was when we found out that the solutions that i prepared where too concentrated for the standards( the unknowns i prepared were suppose to be compared to the standards). This apparently happened to most of the people and the Dr. Surgit told us it was a mistake in the manual and to reduce the concentration of the solutions. So i had to prepare a fresh new batch of three 100ml volumetric flasks worth of solutions. This was at like roughly 5pm ++ and our lab was suppose to end at 5pm. So obviously i was rushing while another one of my partners was diluting another set of unknowns.( just to clarify i had 3 partners, 4 of us in total) So amidst my frenzy, two of these partners offered to help, which i politely declined. In truth, i really DID need the help, but i just wanted to see how long it would take for my last *cough* partner to actually realize something and come and offer help. So. Guess how long it took?

Never.

He just sat there chatting away inanely about something i couldn’t catch, but i’ll place my head and balls its got something to do about Hollywood.

And it gets better. After i finally finished, we had to bring all the solutions prepared-12 100ml volumetric flasks in all to measure its spectrum. Now measuring spectrums are a nasty business, especially when you’re already rushing for time. you have to pour out 3ml from a 100ml flask, clean the cuvette( the 3ml container) and place it into the spectrophotometer and almost immediately taking it out( after measurement), pouring it away and repeating the process. So i was the lucky one again doing this the first time around. So while revolving around the process of filling, pouring and cleaning, this amazing Hollywood friend can sit there and complain to the lecturer- “Aiyoh Ms Emily, i cannot tahan la i’m so tired and hungry, i wanna go home la” oh yea and BOOHOO again, what were you doing to get yourself SOO tired and hungry? talking? sitting? he had the BLOODY cheek to say all this while me and my other partner(the one who was diluting the other set) took turns in doing the cuvette thing. How not to get angry you tell me? HOW?!

there were a few times where i really wanted to slam my instruments down and just yell ” SHADDUP you’re just sitting there and talking can’t you freaking see i’m working my ass off here? what the hell are you complaining about?!” But fortunately i’ve manage to get past that stage now and control myself.

There. finally its off my chest. Before i finish off, i wanna say i seriously don’t know why this fellow chose Biotech. if he’s thinking about honours, or masters, he can forget about it. Seriously. If he wants to come out and work as a researcher, no future as well.

” Don’t you think that’s alittle too harsh?” many of you might ask. “what if he sees this?” to tell you the truth, i don’t really care. If i have the guts to post this i would already assume he might see it, since this is on the internet. I mean i feel exactly as he feels already and i just have to say it cuz-

” AIYOH i cannot take this anymore LA, i’m so sick and tired of this already!”
