Throw a few male bio students together with a few female bio students --> lethal combination

My life never ever bores me. Never. Everyday seems like an all new adventure. Maybe it's cos I get high a bit too easily........ nevertheless, I LOVE my life now! WHY?! Cos everyday there will be damn interesting things to make me laugh my guts out! Don't believe me? Join me in today's adventure.

It was time for the BS204 lecture, and today S2K2 decided it's time for a change of 环境, we needed to move to new seats in the lt to view the world from a different perspective! Maybe 风水 change change a bit we can understand better leh?! This kinda thing, hard to say wat.. So we decided to move a bit further in front, can see the lecturer a bit CLOSER maybe he look more shuai leh?!

So we moved and sat next to a new bunch of lt mates, Derryn, Wingyi and gang! People like me, so popular, everywhere I go I know people wan... not say I wanna haolian. But everywhere I go people wanna say hi to me.. I say till tired.. sometimes feel like using a paper bag to cover my head. But today I in a good mood.. cos yesterday I was in a bad mood.. cos all my coms and lappies and printers spoiled (for a desktop and a laptop and TWO printers to die ALL AT ONCE, it requires nothing short of a miracle. But a miracle I got.. got me friggin pissed the entire day). Ya know.. my mood fluctuates. One day bad mood, the next day muz be in a super good mood to make up for it.

Yar so where was I? Yep I was in a friggin good mood, so I decided to entertain Derryn and gang. We were comparing the lengths of certain parts of our body. Yeah.


I was talking about our fingers.... wat the hell were u thinking of?! Walau..... anyway we took out our hands and started comparing the lengths of our index and ring finger. The ratio supposedly shows how much testosterone you were exposed to. (refer to the sex ID test in some earlier entry). So I told them, I had a finger ratio of 0.95, while the average female had a finger ratio of 1.00 and the average male had a finger ratio of 0.96. WALAU that's how fake lar... I was telling them. Hey.. like, how can I be more MALE than a MALE?! Ok maybe I like to stare at naked za bors once in a while.. but that does not make me MALE lar geddit?! WALAU as if u gers out there dun look at urself in the mirror when u are bathing.. dun lie hor!!!!

They said.. No lor.. it's juz me.(-_-") think I really offended too many people these days. Anyway, they asked to check my hair. They said it's an indication of testosterone level. So I tilted my head towards them and said, "Nah.... check lor. Strange.. my hair got a bit of color and rebonding only, and also a bit long. But dunno how that can show whether my testosterone levels are high." They diao me together... then said, "NO LAR YOUR BODY HAIR LAR!"

Oh.... body hair.. say so earlier lar! So I asked them, "Which part of my body u wanna see the hair of?" Then they started laughing. I also dunno why. They dun tell me how I show them right?! So in the end, the only sane one left, Derryn, told me, "Your arm." OK.. so I rolled up my sweater sleeve to show them lor. They concluded that my hand had long hair. So my testosterone levels should be quite high. GOT SUCH THING MEH?! Suddenly an image of a bear comes into my head.... OH YAR maybe really got such thing. *double checks my legs*

Then I dunno why suddenly Huimin popped out this statement after scrutinizing me for a while, "你的胸部其实也挺大的hor?" *looks down in alarm* Where got?! Walau scare me.. I thot so fast already my bust enhancement drug is working. Then I suddenly remembered... what gave her that illusion. So I whispered to her, "Psst... no lar.. actually dis morning I see myself like airport runway, the more I see the more buay song I get so I got down to getting some tissue and stuffing them there. There... I've told u my darkest secret. Don't tell other people ok?!" Ok. It's a female-female-secret-code-of-honour. Never to disclose such intimate secrets to other people. Geddit all you females out there?

After that the lecturer was talking about some pregnancy test kits and how they work, and how to check whether they work. Derryn turned around to ask me, "So, have u tried one of those before? Do they work well?"
"Uh.. tried a few. One's gotta learn to play safe ya know? Ever heard of the saying better safe than sorry? Yep. But thank god so far all those I got worked pretty well. So far." *glances down at tummy to double check*
Derryn starts laughing hysterically. I dunno why also.. these gers a bit weird lar.. people teaching them general knowledge they laugh at people.. walau so rude!!! Haiz.

Feel a bit like I'm transported back to sec sch days. Female topics can fly to and fro.. and the guys seem to have faded into the background. Seemingly so. In a 90% female dominated fac, males have little say. However, appearances can be deceiving. Apparently the guys are trying damn hard to make their male presence felt.

Shiqin was telling me this morning, before I went to BS, she was sitting at the table with Tingfeng and Edward and Gerald. Tingfeng and Edward were talking about cars. Then suddenly Gerald approached them and asked them, "So.. what sex do u people treat your cars as? Males or females?" Edward and TF chorused, "FEMALE LAR! Still need to ask meh?!"
Gerald, "Cos I treat mine as a male." Then he did some supposedly slightly obscene but entertaining movement. (Btw Gerald is supposed to be attached to this girl in my class) Tingfeng and Edward stares in horror. "GAY!!"

Edward, being the first to recover, added on, "Then why don't you go suck your car exhaust?"

Shiqin was trying damn hard not to laugh.. eh pple ger muz gek a bit demure mah.. understand wat they talking about also muz gek dun understand rite?!

Then Edward gave the final straw, "Hey and guess wat?! Your exhaust is HARD!"

After 忍ing for so long, Tingfeng had to go 破 Shiqin's 功... "Shiqin hear this kinda thing always very high rite?"

Shiqin bursts out laughing.

Oh well... Bio students.. whatever u think we should know, we know. Whatever u think we dunno, we also know. Hey.. our textbooks show pictures of various male and female genitals ok?! Albeit infected with many different types of weird diseases. Any one needs Bio tuition? Bet the whole world is going "OMG why the hell didn't I take Bio?!" now rite?! Wahaha

Was juz randomly blog surfing one fine day.... and came across the blog of this guy from my JC... my year. Most recent entry had this picture of him and his girlfriend, together in his snazzy lil convertible. And I believe he got his license not too long ago. A snazzy lil convertible. A new license. A snazzy lil convertible. A new license. A SNAZZY LIL CONVERTIBLE, A NEW LICENSE! WALAU! And after much studying of the pics together with Kayan, we came to the conclusion that the convertible was not juz some cheaper jap model... not cars like Mazda MX5 or something... it should be something like maybe a Porsche? Ok maybe not so high end... I dunno I really dunno.. shucks I hate ah sias... especially when they are ATTACHED! Haha those who want the link to his blog ask me on msn.. dun wanna link him. But I guess HCians, esp KAYPOH HCians like Jing will most probably already know who I'm talking about.

OK back to the topic in question... the topic requested by 琴大姐 and Kayan I guess.. and a lot more people. Ok. Here goes. I'm looking for a VENTURE CAPITALIST. Venture capitalist wanted!!!!! I've just stumbled upon the ULTIMATE bust enhancement drug!!!!! During tutorial, with a STROKE of genius, it juz DAWNED upon me!! Shall reveal the basic details here... interested parties please contact me!

Basically, the drug's gonna be composed of 50% Prolactin and 50% glucocorticoid. This will stimulate the tissues in your... erm.... mammary glands to proliferate. Initially worried about the side effects of the drug, I thought about pasting this sticker by the side of the drug casing, stating: "SIDE EFFECT: Milk production. NOTE: DO NOT SUCKLE!" Or maybe we could phrase it something like that... "For best results, suckling is HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED." I mean.. oh well.. I know how we sometimes like to call our boyfriends "Baby"... but I'm pretty sure we don't mean it... not literally. And I'm not all that sure they will like having some high-lactose supper to top the night off.

I was pulling my hair out... trying to find a way outta that milky situation.. then suddenly 琴大姐reminded me, "EH wrong lar... prolactin only stimulate proliferation... but not milk letdown!!" Milk letdown refers to the release of milk from the nipples. So what this means is, without oxytocin, basically your mammary glands will juz grow and grow and grow and fill up with more and more and more milk.... and all of it will not get out!!!! (uh... maybe we should change that side effect thingee to "bursting boobs"... but nehmind.. I seriously doubt anyone minds bursting boobs. Bursting boobs leh!!! WALAU! Others wan also dun have lar!) So what do we have here? Loads of chao sng milk maybe.. budden HEY! There's revenue to be capitalised on even then!!! You people ever heard of Yakult? Vitagen? Yoghurt??? Can you imagine... a pill that makes you become the producer of your own yoghurt immediately!!! Save on those manufactured ones you get from the supermarket.. go au naturale... Consume something synthesized by your very own body!

OK I think everyone reading this muz think I'm going loony.... going INSANE! BUT HEY! There's BIG BUCKS to be earned here! Any venture capitalists??? *not giving up* HEY you know.. this is the NATURAL way to go Pam Anderson!!!! And you NEVER have to worry about bursting or leaking silicone bags or anything! Like, that's HOW COOL!!!! Right?! Agree?! I'm a genius... yes??? Ok all agreed.. YAY!!!!

K before I do something really drastic, I think I better stop here. But before I go, one last word.. interested VENTURE CAPITALISTS please ring me! OK????

Best friend asked me to do this test juz now. It's a test that determines your sex ID, your brain profile. It determines whether your brain is more predominantly female or more predominantly male. According to Yingjie, she asked all her friends who are online to do the test. And all got fairly normal results. The guys have predominantly male brains and the girls have predominantly female brains. Not 100/100, but 50/100 female predominance or 50/100 male predominance. Guess what I got.

Gonna copy and paste my results here.. damn long. Do not read all. I will juz highlight the more interesting parts that even I can't believe my scores for.

Your personal brain score:

Average score for MEN who've taken this survey:
Average score for WOMEN who've taken this survey:
Oh goodie! Will you juz check this out?! I'm officially half male half female! Or neither male nor female! A brain hermaphrodite!!

Your score for each task

Part 1

Angles

This task tested your ability to identify the angle of a line by matching it with its twin. This is a spatial task, which looks at how you picture space.

Your score: 14 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 12: You have more of a female brain. Scientists believe that people with a female brain find it more difficult to judge the slope of a line because they're not wired for spatial tasks. In past studies, 65 per cent of people who scored in this range were women.

If you scored 13 - 17: You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain has male and female traits when it comes to spatial ability.

If you scored 18 - 20: You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.

Interestingly, men's testosterone levels fluctuate through the seasons and studies have shown that men's scores are lower in the spring, when their testosterone levels are at their lowest.

Spot the difference

This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.

Your score: 79%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

What does your score suggest?

If you scored between 0 - 33%: You may have more of a male brain. Scientists say men tend to under perform in this task. The corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links the right and left hemispheres, is a fifth larger in women. This means women can process visual and other signals at the same time more easily than men. There is also a theory that oestrogen levels in women give them an added advantage in spatial memory.

If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

If you scored between 67 - 100%: Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range. Your ability to remember where objects are may serve as an advantage to you when you're trying to find your way around places. You're more capable of recalling landmarks to get from one place to another.


Part 2

Hands

You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.



Part 3

Emotions and Systems

This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 7 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

That's a freakin' lie.. I can't have scored lower even than men!!!

Systemising

Your systemising score is: 8 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be a road map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anything that follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.

Eyes

This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.

Your score: 8 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 3: Do you think you're good at judging how another person is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn't come to you quite so naturally.

If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.

If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.



Part 4

Fingers

We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:

Right Hand: 0.95
Left Hand: 0.96

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.

Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and index fingers are usually of equal length.


Part 5

Faces

This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.

Highly masculinised male faces possess more extreme testosterone markers such as a long, broad and lower jaw, as well as more pronounced brow ridges and cheekbones.

Interestingly, women's preferences are said to vary across the menstrual phase. A more masculine face is preferred during the 9 days prior to ovulation, when conception is most likely.

A typical 'attractive' female face possesses features such as a shorter, narrower, lower jaw, fuller lips and larger eyes than an average face.


Part 6

3D shapes

This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.

Your score: 12 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12

Wah biang I score FULL MARKS! Higher than guys can?! I'm a GENIUS! And they make me out to be a hermaphrodite! HMPH!

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 6: Do you find yourself having to physically rotate a map to point in the direction in which you're travelling? This might explain why you scored in the lower range in the 3D shapes test. Twice as many women as men score in this category. Previous studies suggest that those with a female-type brain or with an arts background fall into this range.

If you scored 7 - 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

If you scored 10 - 12: Are you an engineer or do you have a science background? People with these skills tend to score in this range. Past studies have concluded that people in this range have a more male brain.

Nearly a third of men who took this test got full marks, whereas less than 10 per cent of women managed the same.


Words

This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 11 word(s) with grey and you named 5 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.

Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

What does your result suggest?

If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.

If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbal tasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown that girls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brain power is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone.


Ultimatum

This task asked you how you would divide money.

If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25

So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.

What does your response suggest?

Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of the pot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of the pot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.

Scientists believe that people with lower testosterone levels tend to take fewer risks so they are probably more willing to keep less for themselves. Those with higher testosterone levels tend to drive a harder bargain and are less compromising.

Men's testosterone levels fluctuate over the seasons and are at their lowest levels during the springtime. This is said to influence their bargaining power.

Check out this BABY here. A remake of the 1966 Ford GT40..... that BEAT Ferrari at the races in 1966!!!! DAMN chio! Gawsh!!! They called it GT40 cos it was only 40 inches tall!!! CHIOOOOOO

This is the 2006 Ford GT.... the silver color is limited edition... to celebrate the 40th anniversary of outracing Ferrari in 1966. DAMN chio can?! 5.4 litre, 558bhp, 3.8sec 0-100kmh pick-up...... GAWSH! And add to that the DAMN CHIO exterior..... ok.. I shall grant it permission to join the ranks of my DREAM CARS! Go to the Ford showroom to check out the display of the GT40 remake. Not for sale in Singapore! Damn sad! Cos it's only available in left-hand drive! Think you need special permission to drive left-hand drive cars in Singapore. OK not like I can afford it lar. But one must be allowed to DREAM rite?! Maybe one day when I migrate to somewhere like.. the States.... I can drive this baby!!!! WHOOOOO!!!


Kopped this from Poff's blog. The sendoff dinner for Cat! My RGSRCY mates. Talking about them... strange. Seem to be seeing a lot of RGSRCY seniors lately. Just today, met 2 at NUS. Ailin and Yvonne. Never met anyone of them before this sem... I swear! Dunno why. Haha brought back memories of sec sch days. All the things we used to do during trainings and camps. I was a slacker! I confess! Wahaha. Training made almost everyone soo chor lor and tomboyish last time... WAH suddenly now all become so ladylike. All except for one. Me lor. Shucks. I better learn to catch up. Haha.

Talking about friends. I just realised maybe I've been too nice to far too many people. People are starting to take advantage of that. I should stop being nice yar? Let people either do their own stuff or fail. ARGH. There are people who can never ever talk to me on msn or sms me ever.... then suddenly one fine day they msg me to ask me for lab report answers. Or tutorial answers. Ok fine. Understood. If like in Peiru's case, we discussed and exchanged answers and all, it was not plain leeching, I'm absolutely fine with it.

But then there are people who are just PLAIN lazy. Too lazy to wake up early for lab cos lab starts at 8.30am and it's impossible for her to wake up before 6am. Like HELLO I wake up at 5.50am? Then later she told me it's cos she takes too long to get ready. So every lab session while other lab partner pairs are having a relatively easy time getting ready for lab, I have to do the work of 2 people getting ready for lab. And when briefing's over, everything's done and prepared and it's time for incubation, she strolls into the lab. And basically, there's nothing left to be done except to wait for the gel to run.

And then last sem there was once we had to hand up 3 lab reports at one go... but we were given a long time to do it. And she waited till like, the VERY last hour to do it... and msged me to make me go online IMMEDIATELY to help her with it cos I'm her lab partner. Ok fine.

Again on this Monday she did not come to school and she asked me for the tutorial answers. Ok giving her the benefit of the doubt, she was sick and couldn't come on Monday. I had food poisoning AND cold and I went. But she could be more sick than me, that I dunno. So I can pass the answers to her no problem. I pon some tuts myself.. I'm fine with that. But the thing is.... the only time she ever msgs me or looks for me is when she needs stuff!! Isn't that a bit too realistic? She has other friend she's closer to in class to get the tutorials and lab report answers from!!! WHY ME?! Cos I nice to bully issit?!

ARGH forgive me for being an absolute bitch. She's a nice girl. Just a tad too lazy. Nehmind. I'm in a super bitchy and irritated mood these few days. Dunno why. Maybe it's cos of my poor disease-plagued body. My food poisoning is not going away, I dunno why. Damnit. And now I have a cold and a terrible sore throat and an ulcer on my tongue to boot. I can't friggin eat any solid food! I dunno what the hell is wrong with me. KNS.

Nehmind about me first. Something to let those friends from BS give a lil smile or maybe a loud laugh.... at the expense of Lun. Heh whose idea was it to have all those doors in the BS bldg locked, with entry allowed only after a certain timing? Lun. Why? Cos he always drives to school and enters the school via the carpark, where entry timing is NOT restricted. He happy, we not happy. Especially when we have 8.30am labs and the doors only open at 8am. So yesterday he was given a taste of his own medicine! Dunno why, somehow, he decided not to drive yesterday. Probably langgah his car or something. Wahaha and he FORGOT the door only opens after 8!!! He was BANGING away on the glass door and someone had to open it for him from the inside! OK not like I was in a much better situation...I was just a few metres behind him. But anyway some nice cute guy opened the door for me when he saw me from inside, so I also never lugi as much as him.. got eye candy to byo some more. WAH HE'S DAMN PAISEH LAR! Muz get the security camera footage and send to everyone!!! Wahaha

I was feeling depressed the entire night. I didn't know why. I thought at first it was cos my brother pissed me off, and it carried over to the remainder of the night. Tie told me to eat chocolates. Endorphins... makes you high!

So I went to the fridge and got out my secret stash.. and started binging. And I still felt bad. I thought it could be cos of the stress at school. Ponning far too many lects, not doing far too many tuts, not understanding far too many pracs. Stressed up life = screwed up life. Depressed. I started mugging a bit more.. and started trying to plan my timetable. To remind myself of the upcoming deadlines and tests. Then I realised goddamnit I dunno how to rotate the calendar so that it's landscape and not portrait! I saw my fren online and asked him how to do it, after asking Jing to no avail. He asked me to send him the file, and he did it in no time. After thanking him, he called me dumb ass and asked me to go and die for asking him to do such simple stuff.
(-_-") bad mood multiplies.

Suddenly I realised... the real root of my depression.... wat caused it?! THAT bloody Korean drama lar! Walau... damnit it seemed stupid at times.. who the hell drives while staring forlornly at the girl he loves to his left?! And then turn to check the road in front every 5 minutes, then turns to his left again. KNS. But it's so damn touching! The Korean Cinderella fairytale ride. The way they stared at each other.. but the girl can't friggin tell the guy she's the one he thot had died 5 years ago. The way the tears silently rolled, the damn frigging touching music... wah kaoz I'm going crazy over a ROMANCE drama... and the guy isn't even seriously cute! If I'm strict lar. Freak. I can't believe myself. It's so dreamlike.. so whimsical.. but yet I feel damn touched. If only... some guy can do that to me. Impossible. HOW MANY GUYS OWN AN AMUSEMENT PARK?! I wan Cinderella ride! Nehmind.. But in the end.. they still had to leave each other. They were MEANT to be together! It was FATE! I believe in fate. Only fate can let 2 people who never knew each other get to know each other. FATE meant for THEM to be together! But they can't. Freak. And no one believes the girl when she says she's Jung Seo.. the girl who's supposedly dead. Even people who were once close to her.. how sad is that?

OK so now you know why I'm so friggin depressed? Yep. Korean drama. That was the trigger. But more importantly.. shucks. I think I'm PMS-al. I need chocolates. And girl talk. YES! All that girl-talk (girls talk to girls about hair, makeup, and of cos most imptly... GUYS!) with Tie helped! Endorphins at work? Nah.. think pheromones work better. Dunno wat pheromones are? Go wikipedia or answers.com or dictionary.com. Talking about hormones.. I think I've stumbled upon the ULTIMATE bust enhancement drug! Tell you people more about it tmr. Remind me!

YAY my bday gifts! Lurve my Mng tee and Body Shop gift bag from the crazysisters! The raspberry conditioner, the fizzy flavored body foam and shampoo, the marshmallow body lotion... and last but not least, the BEWTEEFUL purple tiny tote bag!


And I LURVE my erm... half finished Ribena brand dessert wine from Kayan!!!! YAY finally 18... it's legal for me to drink and watch M18 movies!!! So Kayan celebrated it for me by getting me my fav dessert wine! YAY I lurve it! Thanks! Shucks.. a bit drunk now....


Cathleen juz went off to UK for her studies! Met up with Crazybatch on Sat for her farewell. Will post some of the pics we took later on. Waiting for Ms Pofun to send me. *hint hint*

Met up with Crazysisters after that. Went for steamboat and dessert!
Then later I went home. And I remembered. DAMNIT! I still have that BS201 test to study for!!!! SHUCKS! PHYSIOLOGY IS PURE MEMORISING WORK! Blardie hell... was cursing and swearing the entire time I was mugging for that. Shucks I even gave up using the internet for 2 nights juz to mug for that... idiot. Not like it helped. Damnit.

Oh ok time to update you people about the scope. Sorry for not updating for so long... making you people so worried. K so I went to that specialist on Sat.... and he gave me a lil checkup.... and then he told me, "Eh.. food poisoning see GP can alreadie.. no need see specialist ok??"
(-_-")

And now.. I seem to have caught the flu bug. Damnit. Keep feeling this lump in my throat.. dunno if it's due to the flu. I think my hypothesis is right. Mugging causes immune cells to undergo apoptosis. I shall go write a paper on that. K that shall be my FYP. Onz!

Arghhh dying. Going for a stomach scope tomorrow. Damnit. It should be E. coli lar.. I trust my instincts. Though the gastric still comes and goes and the cramps still occur, it's gotta be E. Coli. Why waste money go SCOPE?! So scary some more... arghhhh plus tomorrow I have so many appointments.. afternoon meeting the crazybatch for lunch and after that meeting tf and gang for dinner.. how to go in a half-concussed state?! DIE LAR plus my test... my BS201 TEST! HOW?! Haven't finish!!!!! DAMNIT!

At first I was not scared.. E. coli only wat... lao sai a bit puke a bit.. but anyway neither happened to me. I juz basically felt bloated and had gastric. Den my aunt was scaring me. "Could be that Helicobacter you know? It causes stomach cancer! And it's so common!! 1/4 of the population has that in their stomach!" Uhhh since not 1/4 of the world's population got stomach cancer, means the chances are not high right?

And so ensues a long argument with my aunt. Ok fine I know she did it outta concern for me.. but she was over-obsessed with it.... how can she know more about my body than me?! And hello.. I'm a BIO STUDENT! Of cos I know what helicobacter is lar... and of cos I know what it causes! Arghhhh waste money go see doc... maybe never see got no prob.. see liao a lot of prob. Stomach ulcer lar this lar that lar... arghhh dying! All pitch in for flowers hor! Jing is the organiser.

Saw someone getting married in my Condo this morning! Yeah I guess, it's probably kinda common for many of you to see people getting married.. but this is like, the FIRST time I'm seeing someone from my Condo getting married! Cos a lot of the people living here are either those old uncles and aunties or they are those very young kids or teenagers... or they could be those expats Koreans, Japs, Europeans, Americans etc etc. Not very likely of them to get married I guess. So I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see a marriage taking place right here! WOO! And the groom looks damn smart and suave! Didn't manage to spot the bride though. Haha.. cos I was on my way out.

Suddenly recall a chat with SOMEONE yesterday on MSN. SOMEONE who scolded me for calling him a nerd. Since he's SOO sensitive towards his name, better keep it a secret. Haha. Anyway somehow we managed to move on to the topic of him wanting to introduce his friends to me. I was complaining... HOW COME HE ALWAYS CHOOSE THOSE CMI ONES TO INTRO AND NOT THOSE GOOD ONES!!? Then he ask me, "You know why you so long still not attached or not?" I told him I dunno lar. He said, "Cos you TOO DAMN PICKY LAR!"

FAINT FAINT FAINT! WALAU I where got picky lar! No one wan me you tell me whose fault is it?! HUH? I so 可怜 everyday sit in front of the mirror cry cos no one wan me.. people still say I picky... 天理何在???? WALAU. I everyday put on make up wear micro miniskirt and tube top go school STILL no one wan me. SOBZ! But then again, thinking back... it could be the reason no one wan me.. look like 如花 or 许纯美.. but that's beside the point. Ahem.

Yar but one must have HOPE! YES! HOPE remember??! Like I always tell Jing... there is BOUND to be some 眼睛paste stamp guy who will wan me someday! YAY! I'm waiting for my 青蛙王子! Eh.. but muz kiss FROG uhhhhhh.... hmmm. Maybe.... change change change. Now there's that one Wandai says is SURELY my type! Cos he looks like 小白脸 (-_-"). And that one.. we have to wait till Tie is back!!! YAY! K I go buy stamps now.. ask Tie help me paste on his eyes first.

I'm soooo tired.. dying dying dying. ARGH that medicine prescribed was DAMN potent! I'm like, HOW DEAD! Dead=totally knocked out. Almost slept the entire day away! GAWSH! Dunno wat to do with myself.. dunno wat to do about the medicine.. especially since I can't stop it halfway. Antibiotics, and loads of dunno wat crap. I hate E. coli!!!!!

Shucks as Monday draws near I'm starting to panic.. haven't studied for the TEST!!! And I've so many people asking me out from Fri to Sun.... So dead... HOW?! And now I can't concentrate on mugging.. can't think clearly.. the medicine is FOGGING up my brain. Dead tired. Actually not sleepy-tired. It's can't-think-brain-dead-tired. Brain exhaustion. Shucks. Maybe I should not have gone to see the doc. Maybe my immune system would have been strong enough to fight the bacteria. I mean, who knows?! I'm DAMN strong ok?!

Arghhh juz finished a very very tiring bout of tuition. The boy's gonna have his final year exams soon. First time he finished all his homework, though I gave him a lot this time. GOOD HOR? And his spelling improved tremendously.. almost no mistakes at all! I'm a FANTASTIC teacher! Maybe I should juz go NIE to apply for a teaching job. Arghhh enough of crap. I'm dying I swear... gotta go do something about my lab report. Ciaoz!!

I'm collecting birthday wishes!!!!!! HEEHEE Kayan was the FIRST to wish me.. on the DOT! Both by sms and on MSN! Then there was Jing and JX and Jialin and Shihong and Venus and Shiqin and Beng and Wingyan and Peiru and Best Friend and Wandai Wang Wang and Huijun... all between the time of 12am to 2am!!! Then there was Ja... her sms all the way from UK!! And then by sms, there was Kenneth, Meifeng, my aunts Yanbin and Gail, Ting Feng, Tien Fun, Made (my AIESEC senior!), my daddy and mummy, househusband Wen Hann, my dearest and sloooowwest lab partner Wani, Raymond, Jac.... And after that on msn again that night, there was Guan Qun, my xiao shuai ge UY, Shiyan, Wanqing, Chen Chun, Huimin, Tie...... and THEN.. 1 minute after 12am... brother Fox became the FIRST to wish me happy BELATED birthday. Followed by KYL and study buddy.

Haha popular ger is liddat.. Budden hor... can u all like, take back ur bday wishes and rewish again?! I dowan that kinda wish like.. "all the best in your future endeavours" etc etc.... I wan more SPECIFIC and TANGIBLE wishes!!!! K I wan u all to wish me like, "Get 3 Dis and 2 As for the exams this sem" or "Get 2 Dis and 3 As for the exams this sem"!!! I not so greedy lar.. dun need ALL Dis... SOME Dis can already. Too greedy the gods will not grant you your wishes... so muz ask for a bit less mah.. haha

Anyway... shucks.. I'm like, half-dead. Down with a slow-acting strain of food poisoning bacteria. All those intermittent tummyaches and nausea and lack of appetite... bloated stomach and cold spells... my parents and grandma have been bugging me to go to the doc for sooo long but I just kinda brushed it off. Muz be due to that gassy drink I drank juz now.. or muz be cos I ate too much during lunch.... etc etc. Or maybe cos I ate those cherry tomatoes on an empty stomach.

Until the doc measured my temperature juz now and told me I got a fever... and then after that he knocked around on my tummy and told me I got food poisoning...... AHHHHHH!!!! He told me it was a slow-acting bacteria.. and the toxins accummulate slowly. Probably by next week, I would have been terribly ill had I not gone to see him. WAH thank god my daddy dragged me there juz now!!! I was still finding excuses not to go see the doc.. waste money wat!!! If I hadn't gone, next week you all can say bye bye to me. Sobzz so scary hor??!??!?

So after that the doc was asking me.. how long had this condition lasted, and whether I ate anything that didn't taste right during that period. I sit there and think for a while... eh... seems like this condition had lasted for a few weeks now.. on and off. WALAU as if I can remember what I ate a few weeks ago lar!!!! So I was gonna curse and swear at the doc... when suddenly I remembered something. I was doing lab report at the NUS Central Library juz now... and it was a microbio lab report. We did a lot of experiments involving E. coli and we played around with a lot of other bacteria as well. So I asked the doc, "Uhh for the past few weeks I had been dealing with some E. coli in the lab. Do you think they could have caused my food poisoning?"

Doc, "Yes! Why not?"

Me, "Uhh cos my prof told us the strains were non-pathogenic lab strains?"

Doc, "E. coli is a very opportunistic bacteria. Yes the lab strains could have been weakened.. but as long as your immune system is weak and the bacteria manage to get into your body, it can cause food poisoning! Why not? Maybe cos it's weakened, that's why it's slow acting. But that doesn't mean it will not act!"

Me, "Uh oh.."

Doc, "Next time after dealing with such bacteria, ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly! Take ALL necessary precautions! Probably you never washed your hands properly and then went to eat lunch or something.. and that's how the infection occurred! Be very careful next time you are dealing with bacteria! Wash your hands!"

Me, thinking back of all the times I carelessly handled the bacteria thinking it was fine cos they were non-pathogenic, nods sheepishly at the doc. "Ok doc. Thanks!"

SHUCKS! I suddenly recall something! Many of the lab strains of bacteria were ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT!!! DAMNIT! I sure hope that one that infected me was NOT antibiotic resistant!!! At least, NOT bactrim resistant!!!! If not you all can say bye bye to me liao.... sobz... the real-life example of why you should always be very careful in Bio labs. Especially microbio labs... they should use my picture to put up as display somewhere in ALL bio labs.. the girl who suffered the ULTIMATE punishment for her carelessness in handling dangerous microbes. SOBZZZ

Yesterday was MAF 2005!!!!! MAF! In Hwa Chong Junior College Institution! It was a walk down memory lane... a walk filled with memories and memories... how we used to mug at the class benches, and talk cock, and how we used to rush for lunch and tutorials and lectures. How we were damn damn scared of HoLY and Foo and how we used to tok cock with Mdm Tan and Mrs Toh and how we used to bully Chiam.

How we used to celebrate Maf and Orientation and CNY and many many other festivals. How we used to stay in school till 10pm to mug! How we used to mug so much we were so concussed during lesson time. How we used to mix and play around with the chemicals during labs. How the GUYS love to cut up rats and serve it up HOT in a BOILING water bath. How Dicky and the rest used to set fires to sinks and Mdm Tan has to clean it up after. How the Jedis and Demons used to fight using long rulers and godknowswhat during physics lab.

How SOME people used to drag me along to search for eye candies and crushes, and how I used to be sooo damn disgusted. Last time I used to think HC guys suck... big time. But then, that was before I went NTU. Now, I wish I could knock myself on the head 10 zillion times. WALAU HC GUYS ROCK OK?! They are HOW KAKKOI LAR! Even xiao di dis like that Mikhail and that Colflesh who BOTH got some prestigious scholarship (smart and cute... WAH!!).. Seriously.. I don't know what was wrong with me last time. Maybe if I kb less about the guys in HC there will be pple who wan me! So it was also eye-candy reminiscing time yesterday. HC was filled with the crushes the eye candies the admirers.... and lots of memories of the type of interactions they had. BTW, I STILL don't think Dr Ho's eye candy is cute.

Also recall.. how we used to pon lects to go Coro.. and how Mdm Tan has to cover our asses for us after that. How some dumb guys could pon chem lab AND stupidly go to the library to mug, knowing it's HoLY's territory... AND after seeing her, can stupidly raise their hands and WAVE at her! How all our tutors used to love our class most, cos we were the most fun and yet still hardworking class. (damn bhb hor?) How we were the FIRST ever class taught by HoLY to get all As for Chem!!! That's why till this day HoLY still loves us. Can tell by the smses she still sends Wen Hann.

Those were the days... the days I miss so much... the class, the people.. wonder if they miss it as much as I do? There's my fav/most hated gang, Jingz, Chan, Ja, also Dr Ng JL, Dr Ho YC, the prettiee Ms Ng SY, the smart and nice future teacher Doris, my dearest pet Dawn, Po Ju, there's the greatest casanova Mr Yeo WJ, my ex..ahem... shuai ge Dr Zhang KX, my xiao shuai ge Mr Yan UY, our very own Jedi Tan (he shaded that name on an OAS for a test believe it or not), the mad mad robot Tan Guan Qun, the very entertaining Kenneth Cheong (he just smsed me telling me the best bday prezzie he had for me was to inform me abt this v nice show on SCV channel 55 -_-"), also Dr Chow... the househusband who can cook chilli crab, Songyu the perverted guy who works behind-the-scenes at mediacorp (that's HOW COOL), KW who's gg over to England soon, Dicky Dong the TALL guy who always screws up during labs (shucks he's a doc-to-be!! *shudders* haha), Kok the beng who's now mad about cars... Did I miss anyone out? Haha those fun people make up my very fun class 02S78!

Time seems to change everything. Army has changed most of the guys, some for the better, others, not so good. Girls, university seems to be an eye-opener. Many different school cultures come together. I miss the good old JC days most.. how about you people out there? Some things never seem to change though.

One is this. Seems like no matter which year it is, which generation of councillors it has become, the centerpiece will NEVER look presentable. I mean... what is this SHIT?! There was this one year.. the centerpiece looked like a fly to us. Being nice, we decided, it could be a BUTTERFLY and not a FLY. Later, we found out it was NEITHER. It was SUPPOSED to be a PHOENIX *faintz*

With centerpieces like this, it's little wonder the people going back to HC just keep diminishing and diminishing. This year, there isn't even a marketplace of sorts selling mooncakes etc.. the std just keeps dropping. WAKE UP LAR COUNCILLORS!!! WHAT YOU DOING SIA?! Practise some lousy dance till forget how to make MAF nice liao issit?!

Thank god there are still the 5 prettie ladies. Ok.... actually only 1... the one in ahem.. green. Haha no lar.. it's PINK. I not so BHB ok?! Yeah anyway.. the appearance of US made going to MAF a worthwhile experience! Good hor?! Those who saw us there... yep it was not a wasted trip! F3+2!


Another impt day to celebrate after MAF.. bday of some VIP! Pics from the bday dinner taken on Tues! This slightly crooked pic was taken by my grandma. EH she knows how to use a digicam.. that's HOW COOL LOR!


That's the entire family... at Crystal Jade's. I LOVE Crystal Jade!! Haha BTW thanks all for your bday wishes.. wulinmengzhu is FOREVER 18!


Saturday, September 10, 2005

Finally.. I have time to breathe and rest... and BLOG! YAY just finished my very very very draining assignment yesterday morning at 1am.. used the rest of the day to 恢复元气! A 17 pages long assignment.. and I only realised it's too damn long yesterday... all Tingfeng the mugger's fault! Scare me.. tell me the norm is roughly one page per question. I was still thinking.. maybe I should add in a few diagrams and maybe a few blank pages to thicken the assignment... and maybe stick a 50 dollar bill on one of the pages.. ahhh but heck.. 17 pages worth of crap.. 马屁拍得够响了!

K now back to my bitchings.. about NTU this time!!!! This week's school hols for the govt school kids.. so my brother and mum don't have to go to school. We could wake up later and I reached ntu a bit later than usual.. say.. about 15 minutes? Yep that's about it. The first day I was still quite early.. on Monday. About 5 minutes later than usual. Already I sensed something was amiss. It was 7.35am and the queue for 179 had already extended a few bus berths away. The inner bitch in KS started complaining and cursing... all the way to the resource room where she met Shiqin.

KS, "Eh how long is the 179 queue usually?! Today I was just like, 5 minutes later than usual, and the queue for the bus was already like, DAMN LONG! It extended to like, a few bus berths away!"

Shiqin, "HUH? You call that long? You haven't seen worse!"

KS, "Huh? What do you mean by worse?"

Shiqin, "You know.. there was once.. the queue extended all the way to the MRT station!"

KS, "WAH! Then how do you know that queue was for 179?"

Shiqin, "Erm.. I dunno.. I just know lor!"

The next day, on tuesday, KS was 15 minutes later than usual. It was 7.45am. She walked out of the MRT station and started walking towards the 179 berth. Suddenly, she noticed that a queue had formed to her left, extending all the way to the MRT station. TMD it was the LEGENDARY queue from the 179 berth ALL THE WAY to the MRT STATION!!!!! For all those un-informed kids.. the 179 berth is all the way at the end of the bus interchange, the furthest berth away from the MRT station. For a queue to form from the end of the bus interchange all the way to the MRT station, that's a spectacular sight.... if you are not queueing for the bus and you are in the mood to enjoy such insane things that is.

Cursing and swearing and VERY VERY irritated, KS joins the queue. Don't ask me how I know it was the queue for 179.. I didn't walk all the way to the front to find out... I JUST know. 179s kept coming and coming, and I was able to board a bus in like, 15 minutes. It was not really a long wait, but it's damn buay song nonetheless. Cos I was planning on taking a short nap on the way to school, but I was not able to get seats on the bus! The bus was FILLED TO THE BRIM right from the interchange! I really pity those waiting for the bus at the bus stops for 179 between the interchange and NTU. Especially during the 7.45am to 8.45am slots. Like they can get any buses lar!

Now on to the bus rides. The bus was sooo full, the driver didn't bother to stop at most of the bus stops unless there were people alighting.. and these people were few and far in between. So the driver kinda just sped all the way from the interchange to NTU. Sped.. Chionged.. with a full busload of students. EH we are the future leaders of Singapore.. we all NTU students.. we are the students of a GLOBAL FAMOUS school ok!!! Walau.. what if we get killed?! Liddat still never mind. You know.. on the way to NTU there are a few slopes.. not really slopes, but slightly inclined roads. The bus driver was DAMN LAZY... didn't want to use the handbrake when he stopped on those roads. So he kinda stepped a bit on the accelerator, enough to keep the bus in place. But obviously, he was not a good enough driver... so the bus kinda kept slipping down, then he will step on the accelerator again to move the bus up the slope a bit, then the bus will slip down again.... do this a few more times with an entire bus load of people.. you will see breakfasts flying out from their mouths. Plus I was standing right next to the door, near the stairs.. nearly fell a few times!!

Next, comes the part inside NTU. Refer to map below for more info.

So the bus travels... out from the Hall 2 bus stop. And stops at the t-junction to wait for his turn to move forward. A turn that proved damn hard to wait for. Cars moving along Nanyang Avenue never seemed to end! The vehicles moving along Nanyang Drive had to wait cos they were not in the right of way. But due to the NEVER-ENDING cars, they had to wait like, close to 10 minutes!! And that's only if the drivers in front of you are opportunists who move fast. If you meet a p-plater in front of you.... goner. Dunno how long you gonna be stuck there for! For heaven's sake... set up a traffic light lar! Solves so much problems! The inner KS curses and swears and curses and swears.

This seems to be a problem that only emerged this year, due to the drastically increased intake. The intake is more than a 10% increase from last year! Ok I understand the school needs to "put itself on the global map", and "find it's own niche". Ahhh whatever!! You wanna increase your student population, can you like, please make sure the school facilities can support them?! Not enough feeder buses, not enough shuttle buses, not enough car parks, roads not driver-friendly, how to make your school competitive like that?! Heard from a few driver friends how hard finding a carpark is this sem. While previously, they were able to park right beside where they were having lessons, now they had to go to many obscure places to park, driving round the school a few times to find all the ulu carparks available! Also, how come NUS students don't seem to have to wait sooo long to get a feeder bus to school?! Cos there are SOO many feeder buses going into NUS! And some of the faculties located along the main roads could be serviced by buses that don't go into NUS as well! Why can't NTU do the same huh?!??? WHY?!

I was damn pek chek after that.... so I alighted at canteen A to get a drink. Of coffee. 一杯咖啡解千愁. It was there that I saw the new issue of the Nanyang Chronicles was out. Boliao, nothing to do... so I took a copy and started reading. In front was all the nonsense... nothing really worth reading. Disgusted, I flipped thru quickly... then suddenly something caught my eye and I flipped back. There, on the front few pages.... there was this article which addressed all the issues I complained about above!!! The feeder buses, the carparks, the traffic at the t-junctions, except the t-junction they wrote about was the one at can B while the one I bitched about was the one near can A. According to the article, there were only FOUR shuttle buses servicing the hostel kids in NTU!!!! FOUR! Divide that by the 2 routes... only TWO shuttle buses per route!!! WALAU!!!! What kinda school is NTU!!? LAOPOK! Say give us free shuttle buses, 原来 is already deduct from miscellaneous fees, say nice nice only! Then give us SUCH lousy shuttle services... WALAUUUUUU!!



K here's a little something to make you puke out your lunch. Kopped this from one of my BS203 notes. I had read thru my notes once, but I never really realised what this picture meant. Until my tut the other day.


They were talking about myoglobin blah blah.. fast twitch and slow twitch muscles blah blah.. in rats. See the left muscles in all the above pics... and compare them to the right. The right ones more red hor?! Yeah btw.. these are RAT MUSCLES!!! YUCKS!! *goes to puke*

Oh btw pals... I got some nice stuff for you all! Any of your parents want tax exemption? Donate 50 bucks to the NTU fundraiser, commemorating the 50th anniversary! Donate it to ME! I have this card... donate 50 bucks can get tax exemption!!! It's a run-around-Singapore event! If you donate ahem..... if donations are enough... ahem... *considers for a while*..... maybe.............

Maybe I might just decide to join in the relay.. and run around Singapore to thank you people for your support!!!!! So donate ahhh donate!!!! OK?????

Go and die.. teach don't wanna teach well, exam questions set the hardest. PUI!

Liddat don't say read 5 times, read 10 times also you don't understand la!

The semester's work is starting to catch up with me! Shucks.. loads and loads of work! There's the BS203 stem cells assignment due the coming Friday, and I still don't have an inkling what the entire paper is all about! DAMNIT! Then there's the upcoming BS201 test and the upcoming BS204 test, and godamnit I still dunno when the BS205 assignment is due!!! Ok... due to the special circumstances, I shall educate you people about what my MSN statuses mean.

ONLINE: I'm free and happy to chat! Come chat with me!!!

BUSY: I'm watching Naruto or some movie or some shit on Windows Media player. Or I'm playing some dumb game. Either way, no chatting will be entertained, unless I happen to see your chat window when I alt+tab out.

BE RIGHT BACK: I'm right in front of the computer, but I'm doing work. I might entertain the occasional chat window when I'm bored. Feel free to chat, but be prepared to be ignored.

AWAY: I'm afk. Or I'm entertaining far too many chat windows for me to cope. Or I'm right in front of the computer but I've not touched it for so long that the status auto changed to "away". You can chat with me, but be prepared to wait damn long for a reply.

ON THE PHONE: I'm on the phone.

OUT TO LUNCH: I'm out for lunch or dinner.

OK tadaa!! So now you know when to chat with me, and what to expect when you chat with me!

Now tell you people about my new shopping policy.. NO LEVI'S JEANS! EVER! They make me look FAT FAT FAT... and they STRETCH my waist size soo much it's SOOO inaccurate... and their designs are SOOO common.. only their cuts are special.. but then again, most of them are unflattering cos.. never mind.

Anyway, I was shopping at OG's with mummy today, and I was looking for a pair of jeans. First stop was the Levi's corner. Tried the square cut. They either made me look fat, or they didn't have my size. They had the size bigger than my size, but not my size. And the size bigger than my size made me look fat. (-_-") Sucks. Decided to check out the Billabong corner next. WOW there was a pair of jeans that looked PERFECT! Except for the size. But then it looked good even though it was a tad too large! Too bad, didn't get that pair cos no one was around to serve us.

Went to the Lee counter next. Saw the perfect pair of jeans on the mannequin! YAY there were only a few pairs left... thank god I managed to get my size! And like I suspected.. Levi's REALLY blew up my waist size. I'm disgusted. Arghh.

K time to go back to my date...

my date with the Vampire.

Sayonara!!!

Saturday, September 03, 2005

Went to Can A for lunch yesterday. Saw that the ban mian stall now sells fishball noodle! GREAT! Decided to try it. New selection mah.

After I placed my order, I realised that I only have a 50 dollar bill in my wallet, so bobian, had to let the auntie give me change. I usually don't give 50 dollar bills to those hawkers... cos a bit paiseh.. buy a bit of things give so much money to change. But this was one of the few exceptions. The auntie saw my 50 dollar bill.. looked a bit buay song. Then she turned around and took out a stack of readily folded bills, and gave me one stack. Normally under such situations, you will most probably take out the stack and check if the amount is correct right? I was going to do the same lar. Until that stall uncle told me, "Careful don't spill your soup!" OK.. my hands were full. So I thought, "Ahhh what the heck.. don't think they will be so evil as to cheat a 穷书生 of her money." and left without checking.

I never thought about it again till later, when I went to Westmall to buy some stuff.. and when I took out that stack of notes, TMD!!!!! There hidden deep inside the stack, was a Bruneian 10 dollar bill! She shortchanged me!!!! For those still not in the know, the Brunei dollar's no longer pegged to the Singaporean dollar.. and the exchange difference has since became quite great. 10 dollars leh!!!!! And not like I can use that money in Singapore lar!!!! And she purposely folded all the dollar bills nicely and hid the Bruneian bill deep inside that stack.. wah.. 高招!! Shucks. Nvm gonna give the money to those army kias going to Brunei to help me buy stuff from there. Urghhh pissed. Normally need to spend an hour puking blood and tearing out hair to teach some irritating kids before I can earn that amount of money!!!

Oh but why am I bitching about all these unimportant stuff... when people are dying and suffering from one of the most devastating natural disasters in the States? Hurricane Katrina. On Monday I was just watching the news about the people in New Orleans evacuating and getting themselves prepared for one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the States. I was thinking, "Just one of those tropical hurricanes that hit the States every year. Nothing to be worried about lar." Walau.. it's the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA leh... they are how well equipped to deal with such things lar!! They can fight a war here, fight a war there, possess all the best weapons and armies in the world... this is just peanuts lar. And I never thought about Katrina any more.

Until yesterday night, when Demon TJL asked me on msn, "Eh.. what happened in US?"
I was like, "Huh? Hurricane Katrina lor. But that was quite long ago already what."
TJL, "Like very devastating leh."

Is it? I was kinda busy yesterday.. so didn't think about it again.

Until this morning. Straits Times headlines <ANARCHY grips New Orleans>.

"People being raped, being beaten"

"Reports of cops turning in badges"

"Troops will shoot to kill to enforce order"

"Corpses rot along flooded sidewalks"

The sentence that struck me most in the headlines was this-
"Go to hell... it's every man for himself." - A cop responding to tourist Debbie Durso when she asked for help.

HEY GET THIS RIGHT. Is this the USA that we are talking about?! World superpower USA?

How can this happen to them? They knew about the Hurricane beforehand.. they had time to prepare! How could they let this happen?! This is the first time ever that the States had ordered mandatory evacuation of a major city, and this is also probably the first time they had issued the shoot to kill order to the military. The thing is, after the hurricane has swept passed, up till the 4th day, people were still put up in emergency refuges, waiting to be evacuated! SOMETHING must be terribly wrong with their disaster relief system.

Inside the emergency refuges, the most prominent being the Superdome in New Orleans, people were getting beaten up, raped, and there were even reports of murder. There had been at least one suicide as living conditions grew unbearable. No water, no food, no sanitation, overflowing toilets and garbage bins... people being driven to the edge tend to do extreme things.
"What angers me the most is disasters tend to bring out the best in everybody, and that's what we expected to see", Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco said at a press conference. "Instead, it brought out the worst."

Due to the increasing lawlessness in the city, the police force originally deployed there to rescue refugees still stuck on their rooftops had to stop the rescue operations and concentrate on peacekeeping instead.
Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson said. "We're using exhausted, scarce police to control looting when they should be used for search and rescue while we still have people on rooftops."

So what happens to those still stranded in their homes due to the high water levels?!
MSNBC quoted resident Chris Robinson, in a phone call from his home east of downtown, "I'm not doing too good right now. The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live."

Now we start to question the Bush administration. How can they allow this to happen?! They were supposed to be well-prepared!! How can this be?! And guess what?!
3,000 members of the Louisiana National Guard's 256th Brigade are currently on a tour of duty in Iraq.... when they are so desperately needed to restore peace and order in their native state. For at least up to 3 days after Katrina struck, the government failed to recall them back to help manage the disaster.

Little wonder then, that rescue efforts have come under immense criticism from both inside and outside the USA.
New Orleans' top emergency management official called the effort a "national disgrace".
Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans, in an interview broadcast on CNN on 2 september, expressed his frustration at what he judged to be insufficient reinforcements provided by the President and federal authorities. He ended the interview in tears.

The killer must be this statement, made by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela. "That government had no evacuation plan, it is incredible, the first power in the world that is so involved in Iraq...and left its own population adrift."

Today is a nice day. It is a nice cool rainy morning, there is air con, I'm wearing a nice soft warm sweater..... and wishing I could be at home in bed enjoying the remainder of the morning. Damnit. It's not like I have morning lessons... my lessons start at 2.30pm today. I'm now cursing myself for my stupidity. Why didn't I choose to snuggle in my warm soft bed instead of coming school so early?! Cos KS has decided to stop being a slacker and start being a mugger.. she's supposed to be doing her BS203 ASSignment in library 2 now.. but being a whiny bitch she can't resist whining a bit about her predicament. Sad ah!!!

Now time to whine about Proj Superstar. WALAU! This entire thing is ONE BIG HOAX! The results were prefixed... everything was RIGGED! KELONG LAH!! How issit possible?! Kelly got higher scores for almost every part, and it was DAMN obvious she was the better performer yesterday night... HOW CAN WEILIAN WIN?! Tell you.. cos he looks damn upset.. then tears rolling around in his eyes.. then those aunties see liao, want to sayang him, so keep calling and calling to let him win lar!!! Auntie la! Auntie=spending power! Wait till their phone bills come.. then they will jump up from their rocking chairs in shock! Liddat next time got this kinda thing everyone will copy him liao lar! The next season of Singapore Idol, that Malay thing.. Anuyearh or something, and also I think now channel 8 got this new idol thing, something like Project Superstar. One not finished the other one starts recruitment already. Now everyone knows. From the start you must try to gek a bit ke lian.. then sometimes squeeze out a few tears.. then liddat no need fight.. you CONFIRM win!!!

Ok it's not that I'm evil here. I DO pity Weilian.. BUT this is a SUPERSTAR search... not something you can win by pity! Please do not tell me Weilian deserved to win yesterday. That would be one big lie. He didn't even deserve to win against Junyang. His songs are all of the same style, and sorry to say, but he's hardly a performer. I wonder how Play Music is gonna market him. By appealing to the sympathy of people again?

OH NOW I KNOW! Why they let Weilian win! Cos winner gets to ink a contract with Play music, 1st runner up gets to ink contract with Universal music!!! WALAU Play music... what what's that?? Come again?! Universal music? Oh of cos that's the better recording company! That's why I say, the results must have been fixed right from the start.. cos Kelly easier to market overseas what!!!! If I were the boss of Universal music, I would also prefer her to Weilian. Play music, holding a smaller piece of the industry pie, got nothing much to say. Maybe they market Weilian in Singapore already they can earn enough for the next 10 years' cost of operation liao. Cos Singapore got a lot of those rich aunties.. ahem.. I mean tai tais... who can afford to keep spending money on him mah. So now you know. Now you know.

Ok the inner mugger KS is scolding the outer slacker KS already.
"Enough la! You forgo your precious beauty sleep to come do assignment.. not bitch about Superstar k?"

OKOK aku go do assignment. Any questions about Superstar I will entertain on MSN.

There has been a tremendous increase in the intake of NTU this year, as compared to the previous years. Cos 50 years old already mah... must show that we are a well-rounded and well-established school. With an increase in student population, comes an increase in the number of yandaos!!! From virtually non-existent, suddenly "pop" tons and tons of them appear!!!

First there is the Guo Pin Chao lookalike, then there is this guy who's very tanned, very fit and has very distinct features, and not to mention those many many others I spotted in school. Been too busy to blog these days cos too busy byo-ing yandaos. Byo till no time to study.. think I'm soooo gonna screw up the quiz today... shucks... and YET byoing yandaos STILL take priority!!! Damnit. They should ban the yandaos from coming to school and disrupting the lives of mugger-wannabes! Liddat how to concentrate sia.. how?! They even infiltrate the LIBRARIES!!! Wah these yandao muggers! Even in the library I can't study!! Liddat how sia?! Die lar this sem.... confirm... study buddy said he heard somewhere that for my fac, we only need a 2nd upper to get some research scholarship to get our masters degree. The way I'm going.. how to get 2nd upper?!

K time to stop byo-ing yandaos and start mugging! Agree?!

Not yet la... don't so kancheong. Just came back from a quiz... and been mugging no day no night for it. Ok not really. But heck.. I DID mug for it.. so I deserve a rest now. Right? K. Break approved. Going out for a movie date later. Shiok.

Was chatting with a few friends recently when I suddenly realised this ahem... great philosophy. The easier it is to get something, the lesser its value seem to be. The harder it is to get something, from a seemingly worthless thing, it can become a very valuable thing in the eyes of the person who so desperately wants to get it. That is howwww 贱 humans are.

The more you want someone, the more it makes the person you want play hard to get. It can also backfire, as the more you express your desire for someone, instead of getting what you want, you are making the person of your desires 反感。越容易得到的东西,就越不会懂得去珍惜。越得不到的东西,反而越显得可贵。The person waiting for you can be quietly doing tons of things for you, and you never realised.. you might not even know there's such a person.

Cos your eyes are only fixed on the person you are desperately waiting for. The one whom you are doing everything for, the one who might not even know of your existence. Strange isn't it? Despite all that, you still wait for him.

One day, you finally give up. He has left for someone else. But not once did you ever look back at the person who was still quietly waiting for you. You simply never realised.

After one big circle, finally the one you were waiting for turns back for you. Suddenly, you realise he's no longer the one you are waiting for. He can do many many things that used to touch you, make you feel like the luckiest girl on Earth. But now, all you can feel is a little bit flattered... flattered that he still bothers to humour you. You try to picture him as the one you used to worship, your everything. But somehow, something is not there. The magic is lost.

SO sian hor?!! Tok so much cock.. time to go back to watch Superstar! YAY!!
