Addiction..

Addiction.. is when the brain doesnt produce the dopamine required for the mind to experience pleasure without a special something, or pleasure that is equavalent to that which is obtained from doing that something..


(No.. im not just talking about masturbation)

Soulmates..

The world is such that every living thing has a soul.. and every living soul is made to have soulmate(s).. and for once, i aint joking.. i seriously mean it coz ITS TRUE!

Most people would argue that the number of males and females in the world arent even equal and hence not every1 would have a soulmate. That.. is narrow minded thinking, coz they fail to understand the basis of many-to-one and one-to-many relationships as seen in cases of playboys, widowers and divorcees. Owh, and then not to forget theres also polygamy. So there should always be at least one soulmate for an individual.

And if even this explanation doesnt give sufficient explanation, we could also consider the gays, lesbians and individuals with multiple organs. And if you would split the word soulmate into soul's - mate, then you'd probably understand that animals have souls too!.. yeap, so probably some ppl could find their soulmate in the shape of a canine, cat, horse or cow or... well.. whatever you imagine.
So, i guess my explanation clearly explains that theres a soulmate for everyone !!

Decisions, choices and actions.

Life is such that everyday requires us to make choices and decision. Big or small, actions taken are things unchangeable, and often and again these actions may not be globally accepted as correct.

Reasons behind these actions and decisions may sometimes be unjustifiable by simple one-point sentences, but only by a complex combination of multiple factors at the given time and circumstances. Because no two individuals can undergo identical experiences, the phrase "i understand" is nothing more than fictional consolation.

Being human, the best explanation that we can give, is that we would, to our very best extend try our best to perform the right course of action given the duration of time given and the circumstances we were thrown with.

But life is such, we have little time to perform, but ample time to ponder... Hence, the word 'wrong' should really be eradicated.

Jeniffer's Body...

I just watched Jeniffer's body. Its a great show... about Jeniffer's body. Being a movie solely dedicated to publicizing Megan Fox's body... there was nth much to anticipate from the movie.. other than explicit content

But beneath all those flesh, intestines, cleavages and the likes theres a more important take home message from the movie:

Guys out there, if you know that you look like a pig in human skin, and a hot chick strips in front of you, zip ur pants, start running.. and stop cumming.

Tearing out loud...

Mogan once told me... what comes around goes around..
For example: if you laugh at other people, one day other people will laugh at you, if you help others, others will help you..

What he said is really true..

David.. im sorry, i'll never call you sei fei hai again..

Classic tales of stupidity.

Every now and then.. people then to get bored. I for one, tend to get bored quite easily. So what do we commonly do when we get bored? Sometimes guys tfk, sometimes girls go shopping.. I?-- I prefer to sleep.

So heres the question: What happens when I get terribly bored at 8.30pm?
Answer: I go to sleep at 8.30pm.

Question 2: What time would i wake up if i started sleeping at 8.30?
answer: 2.00am

~Enough said~
(i'm really bored now...)

The soul (might contain sensitive issues)

*might contain sensitive issues.. reader's discretion adviced*

We all know the word 'soul'.. most of the time its related to some religious thing, some 'spirit' or stuff like that. But if asked to define the word 'SOUL'.. not many could find the words to begin their sentence.

So anyway.. i was reading some CNS lectures.. and from what i understand, everything is related to the brain.. starting from emotions, sensations, perception, cognition, speech, movement... everything !

So now.. here's the question:
Once we die.. our 'soul' leaves the body rite? (correct me if im wrong).. so then our 'soul' is supposed to go to heaven/hell. If we go to heaven, its supposed to feel nice, and the opposite is true if we go to hell (correct me if im wrong again). So.. since after the point of death.. we aint got no brain no more.. this means that we cant feel pain/pleasure, we cant think, we cant talk, we cant move. So, whats so 'nice' about heaven and 'not nice' about hell?
Mayb for that matter, we've never heard of any religious literature talking about human riots in heaven or hell.. unlike on earth where we have all those gay-rights shit and anti-ISA stuff going around.. coz up there we all got no brains.. (down here we usually dont use it.)

Or mayb the soul just exists and floats around like the ice cream in my coke and wait till it gets dissolved by time?..

Hmmm... so, whats the 'soul'?.. and what can it do?
Probably it doesnt exist..
Like a Lego toy made from small little pieces that can be activated by electricity, humans are made from lil atoms that stack together.. and get activated by sugar to reveal stupidity.

Retarded

This is gonna be one of the most retarded statements i would probably ever make in my life:

I MISS SEM 4

The adrenaline rush, the stress... the feeling of not having any time for the mind to wander across the vast universe.

Sem 5 is just retarded.. theres so much assignments.. so many CNS lectures to study.. but the main problem is that theres so much free time that theres barely any motivation to get moving.

Haihz.. IMU just has a way of screwing with me..

1 Year old.

Its been a while since the first time i made my blog post. Today makes this blog 1 full year old. Bad times and good times, for better or for worse.. all the memories will be kept here for many many more years to come..

Happy B'day bloggie =)

Thinking out loud, pervertedly....

In life, nothing is as it seems. A 'sea horse', does not resemble a horse at all. A hot chick across the road might not even be a chick at all.

Now, think about one of the body systems that is the most important in maintaining the homeostasis of the human race: the Reproductive system. So, in this modern age.. what do you think is its main function?-- reproduction? continueing on your legacy? keeping the human race alive?

If thats what you think, then you are terribly wrong. Its main function for most of the people today --> ENTERTAINMENT !!!!

Fate, Destiny and GENETICS !

I remember once saying that fate and destiny are similar in a sense that it somehow influences your life. Fate can change, though difficult, but changing it is still possible. Destiny cannot change, because it does not involve you but instead involves the world around you.

So lately, i've just discovered something new.. Guess what? Fate and Destiny has a new friend.. GENETICS.

But unlike fate and destiny that involves you and everything around you, Genetics only meddles with YOU, as a slave to molecules.

So here's how it works: Everything we do, everything we feel, everything we think.. every move, every thought, every action and every perception we make is based on our BRAIN. The brain, is a mass of highly specialised cells which originated from the fusion of 1 cell from mum, and another from dad which divided and differentiated based on codes and commands within our DNA.

So what i'm trying to say.. is that every action we make is based on how the cells in our brain react to external stimuli. And every reaction we give involved several processes on the cellular level, and everything that happens on the cellular level is predominantly controled by the nucleus of each cells based on genetic codings(DNA). Hence, it is safe to say that DNA is the master of our mind, soul and body that dictates our every move. Even me writing this blog entry is something already subconciously encoded into my DNA.

So, in the end, we are.. truely no more than the slaves of genetic codings, like a computer software carrying out its pre-programmed commands. Words like 'personality', 'behaviour', 'kind', 'selfish', 'smart', 'dumb', you, I, We, Them.. are all just personifications of a group of molecules that, through millenias of chemical reactions, acchieved 'self-awareness'...

Just another new semester...

Hmmm... so its a new semester... again...
The same old first day overview scare tactic and 'you-must-start-studying-right-now-or-you-die-for-sure' motivation talk.

Well, bullshit aside, sem 5 seems like the workload, contact hours, practicals and everything else sorta 'reduced' a little. But looking carefully at the scenario, you'd realize wat's the core difference between sem 5 and other semesters:

In the lower semesters, you get thrown into a sea of sharks, but your leg is tied to a speed boat and you are dragged along. Here in semester 5, you get thrown into a sea of sharks (fullstop). You're supposed to swim as fast as if you were draged by a speedboat.. but most likely you'd tend to chill... and get eaten by sharks. Yay!

So yea... theres no such thing as "LESS STRESS" in Bpharm. So dont start rejoicing when some lecturers say less portfolio.

Owh well.. just like some old men suffering from erectile dysfunction whereby they fail to get excited by women..
I guess i've gone through too many semesters in Bpharm i think i have a condition i would call as Bpharm dysfunction (BD).. whereby the phrase 'Stress' no longers makes me go panic and depressed. Lecturers come in and describe the 'toughness' of sem 5.. but all i can say is:
'Owh...... ok'

So anyway.. welcome back to hell fellow Bpharmers..

End of boredom.. Start of lethargy.

FIVE weeks of holiday. The first week was a blast, the second was relaxing, the third was boring.. the fourth made me almost die... but owh well.. at least it ended with a fantastic week 5.

Honestly holidays was overall boring other than the part where there are trips here and trips there. Its not like i'd really like to have a lot to do, such as study for resit examinations, but hols are SUPPOSED to be more fun filled than home-stoning.

So now holiday ends and dilemma begins. Holidays are carefree.. but totally boring.. Bpharm throws a tonne of workload, but at least theres never a window of opportunity to use the phrase "Bored". So... which is better?
LoL.. but why the hell even bother about comparing which is better than which coz its not like we can choose to extend our holidays or not.. unless you delibrately flunk ur exam.. then you get a perma-holiday.

Hmmmm... whatever.. Welcome to sem 5 fellow Bpharmers..
Enjoy ur 14(or 15 or 16) weeks of doom.

The Devil's Game..

Its almost 4am in the morning and i've been rolling on my bed for the pass 1 hour.. why? because "The Devil's Game" has gotten into me..
So let me explain what is the devil's game.. its a simple game that looks so innocent at first sight, but the more you play it, the more addicted you become, and the more addicted you become, the more you think about it, and the more you think about it, the more it screws with ur brain..
It really works like the devil, it mind fucks you to such an extend that you'll be thinking about how to match jewels every moment and you'll even see jewels when you close your eye. Bit by bit, it'll kill you.. from inside-out.

So.. what is the devil's game? Behold--BEJEWELLED


The objective of the game is to match 3 or more jewels together.. and what is the significance of the number '3'? its half of 6, the devil's number.

You might wanna try this cursed game.. but you have been warned.. the more you match, the closer you get to hell.. I'm already half-way there.. i think i need some 'Holy Game' or something to purify my brain.. crap..

Basic theories and truths about two idiots known as 'Fate' and 'Destiny'..

Ok.. so lets take a look at the word 'Fate' and 'Destiny'.. Many ignorant assholes think that hard work can change everything. These people are called 'NAIVE' kids.

Heres the truth:
Everything we do and its outcome is already dictated by two things.. One is Fate, the other is Destiny.
So now you must be wandering what is the bloody difference between Fate and Destiny.

Let me explain:
Fate is when an idiot is born retarded and is too lazy to put in effort hence he fails. Such a condition is known as the action of Fate. Ie - the sucker is fated to fail

Destiny, is when an idiot works his ass off... and then fails. Such a condition is known as: Destined to fail.. Ie - the sucker is Destined to fail, no matter what he does.. he'll still fail

Conclusion:
So.. since tmr is results day.. and so many people are scared shit of either failing or only getting their A-... just think back on what i said.. theres seriously no point in being worried AT ALL..

If you didnt work hard enough... LoL--> too bad la.. if you fail, it just means its Fate =)

If you fail... but you know that you've worked you're ass off.. LoL--> too bad la.. its Destiny =)


So every1... please.. just chillax!..
No matter what happens, blame it on Fate/Destiny =)

When luck decides to fu*k you up..

OK.. so here goes.. If Luck was impersonated.. it would be an ugly looking bast*rd that freaking hates me for no apparent reason. They say bad luck strikes three times.. And it really did. So lets look at the chain of unlucky events related to me unfolding one by one..

Bad Luck #1 :
Car smashed.. first time in my life i illegal parked.. my car got freaking smashed.. not scratched.. i mean S M A S H E D . (check out the post below for pics. And worst off.. it had to happen while i was having my freaking E O S.. not class test.. it was END OF SEMESTER JUST-DO-AND-DIE-ANYWAY examination. The car crash alone was already bad enough.. but NO.. 'LUCK' thinks that he wants more whip cream on his starbucks..

Bad luck #2:
Went to langkawi... felt the sun, felt the sea and felt the agony of having my phone's LCD CRACK.. how screwed up is that? Coincidentally.. i put my phone at the bottom of my bag.. and my bag coincidentally droped.. so im stuck with no phone for the next 2 weeks..

Bad luck #3:
When i sent my phone for repair.. the dude asked me to keep the stuff like my sim card, memory card and my battery.. etc-etc. So yahoo... i kept everything in a separate plastic bag while i kept my sim card in my wallet together with my coins.. so i guess the coins scratched my sim card beyond recognition.. YAY.. MY SIM CARD SPOILED.. Though i have a replacement sim card now but i still cant call out within the next 2 weeks even if i have a spare phone coz i have no numbers..

Conclusion:
If 'Luck' was a person.. and if that person was reading my blog right now.. I'd dedicate the following picture specially for that bastard:

A dramatic EOS examination.

Ahh.. finally eos end.. 5 damn long weeks.. lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, lack of emotion, lack of entertainment.. excess of knowledge. Yeap.. thats what Bpharm is all about, expecially when EOS approaches.

Well, though it might seem that this 5 weeks were full of shit.. but it was actually kinda dramatic.

To start of the drama.. i went to the ball with 2 great people.. had lotsa fun. Was a really enjoyable and memorable night.. should be studying tho.. ;p


Then life continued monotonously for the next 2 weeks.. studying like mindless idiots..
One fine sunday.. while studying at starbucks.. had a bunch of peeps celebrate my b'day for me. Was very nice and thoughtful of them.. love the baloons.. the ice-cream.. everything. Thx a lot ppl!!... i smile whenever i see the balloons hanging in my room =)




So exam started with my b'day on the first day of bloody EOS.. all was not too bad.. Until i overslept the night before pharm anal.. Feeling hopeless and guilty.. i left early to uni to study.. but the hilltop parking was close. So i illegal parked for one day. And my car got crashed and rammed into the pole..
Once again.. thx to all you people for the emotional support.. i'd stone to death otherwise..


Things continued to move on.. friday's skill developement was supposed to be a walk in the park.. but crap.. anxiety shot my blood to the brain.. what a bad headache to end my EOS with..

But other than that.. this exam.. feels like watching a drama movie..
and now that exam is over... I MISS MY CAR !!!!!!
and i dont even know how 2 write a blog post anymore..
Owh well... happy holidays to every1.. this time.. like all others.. it is a well deserved holiday, so enjoy till your hearts content :D

Study break

And so it begins again like how it has always been for the past 3 semester. And this time.. like all other times.. we'll make it through together.. one way or another !

All the best in enduring the 5 weeks of shit. Whenever you feel the stress, just bare in mind that another 104 people from B107 are feeling the exact same shit.. so dont fret.. just Laugh out loud.. and then shut up and continue studying.

All the best to everyone! cya in 3 weeks :-)



Ps: please take good care of your health and drink enough water.. dont let yourself get sick (like me)

A retarded weekend.

So heres how the weekend goes..

Tried to start studying..
and the result? --> a grand total of 1/2 a full lecture fliped thru with understanding that approaches 0.

Time flew.. or rather.. crawled.. at a bizzarely slow rate.
And then it was sunday night.. I felt so tired i slept at 8.. only to wake up at 10.. with fever and recurrent TB-cough. Great-- eh?

Being a semi-genius.. what did i do? Rendam myself in cold water.. and stone for 20 minutes.
Results? -- Fever went off.. like a miracle. In exchange for a flu and dripping mucus (eeww)
But i guess its a fair trade-off eh?


So thats the end of the weekend.

How did the 'good' week start?...
Drove on an empty highway at a lil above the speed limit.. only to spot some idiot with a camera stoning at the side of the road.. WHAT A JACKASS !! (- RM450 from next month's allowance)

Happy April Fools day.... NOT !!

the time now is 2.13..... i got conned... so bloody badly.. twice by one person.. another time by another person.. 3times in total...

I hate this day...

B107 animal kingdom...

Here in IMU, a persons' true nature is hidden thoroughly by a thick layer of formality and professionalism that acts like a shield. It is only through strong bonds and friendships that these thicks shields are removed and a person's true animal instinct is revealed.

So.. here in B107, it took me 2 years before some people could reveal their animal nature..

The MOST significant one being Tortoise Ng.

With the speed of a tortoise, he waits till its almost time to leave the dinner-place.. then he shouts out loud "OWWWHHHHH.. I UNDERSTAND THE JOKE ALREADY !!"
And with the steadiness of a tortoise.. he'll continue with the phrase "not bad ah.. i can understand quite fast already"

Another significant member of the animal kingdom is Hamster Koh.

Emos like a hamster.. runs like a hamster.. smiles like a hamster.. looks like a hamster..
IS A HAMSTER..

Apart from animal instincts.. some also have a killer instinct... but its more of SELECTIVE killer instinct..
Most of the time however, this killer gets killed by others, but in the presence of the likes of me... the killer instincts become predominant. This person is SNIPER CHONG.

When im nearby.. this sniper will camp at one place.. the moment she gets the slightest chance.. a headshot will be made. NO ESPCAPE. Mayb coz im tall... so my head sticks out very obviously.. thats why im the only target of this sniper..

Say NO to Tulan V3.0 !

Say NO to Tulan V3.0 ----> Vote for Alicia as SRC IT rep. !!

~Cheers~

Tulan.. V 2.0

Sem 4 very stress.. got 5 portfolio.. spent several sleepless days and nights to finish it.. had to do some portfolios 3 times.. but THATS OK!.. coz i still completed everything in the given time.

So.. monday morning.. submission of portfolio.. very gan cheong.. coz finally get to print out my hard work.. (here is where the tulan parts start)

Tulan - part 1
Early - early morning go library computer. Press Ctrl + P to print it out.. printed some portfolios out.. then suddenly stop printing.. why?-- coz "out of credit"

why out of credit?
Coz the last page of my word document got hyperlink.. go end up all 3 pages considered as 'colour'... Si Beh tulan..

Then nvm.. Ms. Yeoh help me print out the remaining ones.


Tulan - Part 2
After finishing presentation, Mogan help me sent print job from E-lab 1 to libr. So i went back to libr and waited for 5 - 10 minutes for some1 to print probably a 5000 page document.. At probably page 3500, printer jam.. TULAN !!

So.. nvm..

Tulan - Part 3
At libr.. met some other fren.. asked him to help me print. Pluged in my thumbdrive.. Virus infect.. everything dissapear.. GENG + TULAAANNNNN !!!!

Tulan - Part 4
Nvm.. i go find other ppl that know how 2 kau tim this problem.. So Wei wen help me kau tim in Elab 3 and Wei ping offered to print. When about to print.. realised that e-lab 3 got no printer.

Tulan - part 5
Dunno which e-lab to print at. Elab 1 the printer is the most ciplak piece of shit i've ever seen.. It seems to have "Ink Diarrhea". Library printer - Jam. Left only e-lab 2.. which has my whole batch queing up. And that printer is such that other e-labs are not connected to it. So i've to go and sign into a computer there to print with that printer.. When i went in.. All computers taken up, except for 1.. so quickyly, i signed in. Waited for 5 minutes.. suddenly i get that sohai error that says "unable to connect with IMC tree" -- (computer rosak)

But nvm la.. finally after running here and there, managed to use other ppl's portfolio cover and print with other ppl's account..

Tulan - part 6
Wanted to send in softcopy.. but then my whole thumbdrive corrupt edi. So went to Helpdesk to retrieve wat i lost. Mana tau.. IT dude not around.. and i got the "please return at 6.00" luckily i when i return at 5.45 the fella there edi..

So.. finally managed to send in everything.. Such a relieve.. What an annoyance.

Conclusion:
IMU can seriously be damn sohai. They give us such fu*king heavy workload. But thats ok. The very least IMU can do is to provide us sufficient WORKING computers that DO NOT HAVE FU*KING VIRUSES that invisiblelises word documents. And make sure the printers do not have diarrhea or constipation.

Tulan...

Ferredoxin was one of the topics included in the Med Chem portfolio..... enough said !

The origins of F.U.C.K.

This is a story i heard from my bro and not an Andrew original.. so im just sharing..

So.. first of all, back in the ancient English times, the word 'Fornication' was used to describe voluntary sexual intercourse, and such an act could only be performed when a men and a women have gotten the permission of the King to get married, whereby they would perform fornication on the night of marriage.

So on that night, they would put up a signboard on their home.. stating "Fornication Under Consent of King". Over time, people created an abreviation - FUCK

So when the townsfolk asked newly wed couples what were they doing the night before?

Their answer - "We were FUCKing" (Fornicating under consent of King)

A mixture of emotions, none positive..

Right now.. B107 is in the middle of a totally screwed up 3-week judgement period. Already stress with Class test, still need to write report... already stress with Class test + report, still must add PBL... already emo with CT + report + PBL... i summore must loose my bloody thumbdrive for probably the 5th or 6th time in imu.. isnt that so fu*ked up?
Every single bloody time i try to finish assignment early... i end up loosing it, which means wat? I've to do it all over again.. last minute.. hebat!.. but thats ok.. i've got no idea why is it ok... but its ok.. its ALL FU*KEN OWHKAY.. probably coz i saved like 1/2 of wat i've done.. so i only have to RE-DO.. the other half.. and complete the total 3/4 of work.. shit.. but well.. whatever la uh.. sure ok wan =)

And weeks ago.. im supposed to get my remedy for my TB... the dosage form is something like the Lysergic Acid Diethylamine blotting paper that has imprints on it, which is then put onto the tongue to release the medicament..
Only difference is that this TB-remedy dosage form is supposed to have Dr. Kang's face imprinted... so once put on the tongue, saliva acts as the solvent that releases Kang-o-lides that is supposed to act as an expectorant that removes phelgm containing Mycobacterium sp.
But truth be told, the active ingredient in this remedy is not Kang-o-lides.. but Kang-o-face actually... but since there is insufficient(none) active ingredient, hence it is not posible to manufacture this drug... hence... my TB continues... possibly reaching a chronic stage and resulting in death by extrapulmonary TB within the short period of 70 years...

Owh.. how depressing(St. John's wort needed)..

Thoughts... thought out aloud..

Huh?

Cupid the idiot..

Cupid, oh.. cupid,
Flying in the sky,
owh-so full of joy.

Smilling as he aims,
Giggling as he shoots,
And laughing out loud as he watches how he change the mood.

But hey !
Ain't there 8 billion people?
So hurry up and reach my turn already! (or so i thought..)

For 20 years i waited.. will my turn ever come?
"Oh yes.. and here it is," says Cupid giggling.

Curious, anxious and excited,
That venomous sting i never anticipated.

And so it came my 'joy' for the day,
Portfolio, PBl, and Revision all the way.

Never saw this coming,
But here i am for the killing..

Cupid..
I wish i had never wished for you to help !

And while you flew away,
Leaving those 3 pieces of shit to stay...

I hope you drop that bow and arrow,
So i can return this present of yours called SORROW !





Ps: Dedicated to all Bpharm students stuck with work on a supposedly happy day..

Signs of ageing

First the undying look-alike lethargy
Then the non-stop continuous chronic cough..
Now i have a saw jaw.. probably due to arthritis..
Latest finding.. numerous amounts of grey hair..

The signs are clear.. the end is near..
Thank you Bpharm..

(Ps: this post was supposed to originally go into my own blog.. dunno how it went into another... must be another sign of ageing..)

Gambling and life..

Many people consider gambling as an illicit activity. Theres no doubt about that because many have lost a lot due to greed and curiosity.

But to me, life's like a game of poker..
You never know if your crap hand could win big.. and sometimes it pays just to know how others play.
Sometimes, the first few cards opened might not favour you.. but if you'd just be willing to play along and wait for the last card to open, you'd never know what surprises it might hold. At the same time, dont always bet on a 'surprise' to happen or you'd most likely end up with a surprisingly dissapointing card most of the time..

Gambling is not always just about money.. people sometimes gamble with things far more important to them than money.. But no matter what it is, if you'd be contented with whats ALREADY there, you'd never need to gamble. (unless of course we're talking about a game of chance during MCQ class test)

Cough

Cough.. a simple action. Sometimes a sign of infection.. Usually goes away over time..

I, Andrew Lum Wai San... have COUGH.
It is not Tuberculosis..
Although it has persisted for over 2 weeks.
But i think i should get better soon.. even with no medications of sorts because after extensive studying, i realised a depressing fact that western medication has just too much side effects.. so i'll let myself cure naturally.. even if it take 2 months to cure..

And to makes matters worst, my "Nocturnal activities" (which includes portfolios, pbls, reports, lecture revision... anything Bpharm related-you name it) has been keeping me awake for some time lately.. and hence eating up my sleep.. and hence decreasing my natural immunity (i think)..
So its no wonder that sometimes in class, instead of looking up at lectures, i tend to admire the amazing patterns of my inner eye-lids.. (i slept in class.. more than once..) But you cant blame me for such irresponsible acts because it's the human body's own way of substituting sleep.

But i think if my cough takes up to 2 months to heal, then.........

Message to IMU:
Please prepare mass vacination against TB along with large quantities of :
R - Rifampicin
I - Isoniazid
P - Pyrazinamide
E - Ethambutol


But for all Bpharm students.. FEAR NOT !! even if i spread TB to you, you'll probably just cough badly and have serious organ damage..
Sure wont die.. If die also portfolio kill us first.

First day of CNY..

Gong xi fa cai every1 !
Wherever you are.. i hope that you are all enjoying yourselves very much.

My first day of cny started with tea ceremony for dad and mum.. a tradition passed on since my grandparents were still around. Its a form of good-wishing and cultivation of respect for the elderly. And its also the only way the young ones get the thickest ang pows :p

The day continued on a lil slightly slow and monotonously.. but things got a lil spicy when the family decided to open a deck of cards and start putting the Ox's luck to the test.

We played poker and i felt like i was cheating the money of others.. I practically won almost every round.. but since we played using only coins, it wasn't exactly a huge amount of winnings.

Anyway.. Its only around 5 in the afternoon now.. who knows who'll come later and what winnings await me.


Until then, i hope every1 is having fun now. GXFC (Gong xi fa cai) =)

My template colour

In conjunction with the Chinese New Year, i have decided to put up a TEMPORARY 'bright' and 'happy' template colour.

Orange was thought to be most suitable since it is the colour in between gay pink and eye-hurting red.

Hence.. orange is good !

To all those still in black --> time to change.. at least for the new year ok?



Happy new year and take care =)

Gong Xi Fa Cai !!

Wishing ya'll a very happy chinese new year !
To all those going back to their hometowns, hope you will all have a safe a pleasant journey.
To those who would be driving long distances, drive safely and may you be able to avoid the horrific jam! and please do not do stunts (like ampang boy)!

Savour the cookies, collect the ang pows, put aside the worries and just enjoy the new year !

Gong xi fa cai, see ya'll in the new year of the Ox =)

Fear

You might or might not realise this, but fear dominates a large part of our life. Everyone has fear. A major reason why we do the things we hate, and we stop ourselves from doing the things we would really want to do.. is because there is fear.

We do our daily assignments because we fear failing, we abide by the rules and regulations because we fear the law, a child listens to every word told to him because he fears getting scolded, we fake a front in public because we fear being unaccepted, we lie and hide the truth because we fear the reaction of others..

Whether it is fear of failing, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown or even the fear of ourselves.. essentially, we all have fear and it plays a large role in regulating our lives.
Inevitably, we create a small shell.. trapping our selves in it, trying to feel safe and secure in it, living our lives within our own cage, binding and restriciting our very own freedom solely because of fear.

But fear is essential, because one with no fear of anything is like a cancer cell that is unstopable and hence must die.

Fear can either be a motivation, or a hindrance. Which role it plays in your life lies all in balance.
How we live our life will depend on how we balance one fear with another, and how we treat our fears.
If one decides to allow fear to dominate, then he is not living life but just merely existing in an enclosed chamber he created to encage himself.

The next time fear comes into mind, remember to strike a balance. Let fear stop your acts of stupidity, but dont let fear come in the way of life.

Live life, or just exist...
Be motivated, or be restricted?
The choice is all ours to make.

Sem 4's rating

I remember the time when i just passed my sem 3 resit. I said sem 4 would be an interesting semester.. new bonds, drama, new stories, new friends..etc-etc

I WAS WRONG !

Sem 4 is all about the portfolios, the lethargy, the pain, the frustration..

My rating for sem 4:

OUt of 5





I give a generous 1:-

Child killer

7 January 2009..
Shant Raj - 7 years old

May your death due to overdose of Amoxycilin 'dry syrup powder' be a relatively fast and painless one.

After the first drug i dispensed during the first dispensing practical of my life.. i have now officially become a child killer..

Energy.

Energy is a very important thing. My energy for 2008 just got depleted.. and just like the print quota for sem 4.. it has not been replenished yet..

Lethargy.. a sensation that creeps in my veins. Fortunately i have still not yet started sleeping in classes. Ironically, for one of the few lectures i did not sleep, i got accused of sleeping becoz i was looking down checking to see the unsymmetrical-ness of both my shoes for 5 seconds and looking at the time on my phone for another 5 seconds.. bad luck.

But thats not the point..the point is.. like Ray said.. i look like this-->


But wat to do.. lethargic la 'tai lou'..

My energy level was so low, my brain was not even supplied with sufficient energy to comprehend the fact that question "Can anyone help Prof Yeoh at 8.30am?" would signal the need to activate chameleon abilities..
Too bad la.. even under sub-threshold levels of peer pressure, i stood up.. (habis la)


Good luck in doing reports.. time for me to sleep.. cya'll on monday.


Edit:
After using my superb knowledge on Drug metabolism.. mayb it wasn't the energy.. mayb it's just the Cy P450 enzyme system that is not very efficient.. So got a lot of in my blood.

Mayb now.. after all the endogenous materials have been excreted/metabolized.. i can go from

to



OK.. so now:
Study? -- YES
Report? -- YES
Portfolio? -- YES
Ice skating? -- ...... (didnt hear that)

A New Year...

Its that time of the year again, a time to welcome the new year, and time to wave goodbye to the old year of 2008.
A time to cheer, a time to enjoy and a time to be merry.

But theres more to 'New Year' than just celebrations.. It is during this time that we reflect on all that we've achieved or did not achieve in the past, plan for the year ahead and prepare for all the big challenges that accompany the great joys installed for us.

So anyway, treat 2008 like sem 3's notes.. chuck it aside, throw it, burn it.. doesnt really matter.. Just REMEMBER it.
Treat 2009 like an exam answer script.. try your best and do what you think is right.. just make sure you dont leave it blank..

To everyone reading this:
Happy new year 2009 !!
This year, like all others - Make it count =)
