Most 'chai leung' Chinese New Year...

First!, Happy Chinese New Year!!! Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!! err... not good at those chinese proverbs... so, to everyone, may everything goes well in this dog's year and to all my batchmates, an addition, 'hok yip jun pou' and 'pou pou kou sing' lah... ^_^ ehehe. Hope this year is kinder to it's... subordinates (aiya.. dunno how to say it lah, those born under the year of the dog ler)...

Today it's the second day into the new year and I've had 2 grand dinners already so far. The so called 'reunion' and the one on the 1st day. Then another one tonight. Well... wha-to-do?? can't have a real celebration, have to make all these to create the atmosphere ler... (but then, I'm already getting spare tyres -_-") *sigh*... first year celebrating CNY without visiting relatives, without visiting friends, without eating freaking lots of cookies, without opening hampers, without playing mah jong, without BUYING NEW CLOTHES!!, without RECEIVING ANG PAUS!!!!!!!!! *slap forehead* no income this year, 'chai leung' or not?...

So, a year have past... let's see what have I done the past year which is worth noticing... Errmm... completed my IMU course, came over to Glasgow, study... nothing really worth noticing also... cheh... ok lah... hope this year.... no no... it WILL be great... it WILL!!!.... cause I'm going to start working soon!!! ^_^ *crazy... start work also so happy -_-"*

Yes... Wounds will heal... ties will mend..... but.... will a scarred surface ever be the same???

DM inducing Muah Chi

Today, Jen tried making 'Muah Chi' following a recipe she got from the internet. As a result, the 'Muah Chi' turned out just nice, BUT... (<---notice the big BUTt?) when completed with the coating of crushed peanuts and sugar... tadaa!! what do we get?? Yup, DM inducing 'Muah Chis'!!! What's DM?... oh.. it's short for Diabetes Melitus.

Lesson learned (not only from this event, but also from a few of past similar cases), do not place high expectations on recipes posted up on the internet. Free stuff always have flaws.... -_-"

Ohhh... ya by the way, 'Muah Chis' are one of my favorite snacks!!... Remembered back in Malaysia, used to get it everytime I back in Ipoh. RM 2 per packet and it's very nice... *^_^ nyam nyam*... Sold by a small little stall set up outside the house of the vendor.

Awaiting Chinese New Year

*tong torong tong chiang... tong torong tong chiang...~~~* Wee... Chinese New Year is just around the corner!!! The dog's year, my year has approach, reminding me 2 cycles have past... *T^T*... Anyway this is the first time I'm celebrating chinese new year abroad and guess what?!? skiing on chinese new year's eve... ahahaha something new... and this year... *droop head* no ang pau... damn... "sit tai pun"...

Anyway, only yesterday, went made cookies with the 'sei tai' (literally, four big), and the results were... ermm.. not bad for my first time... ahahaha... We made peanut cookies which ermm.. was a wee bit too soft but taste great!! Soon we'll be making almond cookies... *droop head* yeah... that's the only chinese new year atmosphere we have... whatodo... so far from home... and not used to baking... Normally cookies come ready made and sealed in the old tin milo can, ready to be consumed. Don't even know what we going to cook up for the "reunion" dinner. Ohhh no!!.. no mah jong and kids money to cheat... ehehe... no ler I don't do that wan ler... *look away**whistle*

Making cookies... hands all oily...

Tadaa!!! Fresh from the oven!! Look mom!! I can bake too...

*~~ 'don't ask me to do it back home ler...' -_-"*

HL : Ok.. these two trays... mine!!... others all of you share lah... *^.^*

Me, HL, Jen and our production... looks alot... but when we put them in the containers it doesn't fill much... hmmm... maybe we did too much QC...

Hmm... this also reminds me... I'm going back soon... should I be sad? or happy? *ponder*.... *>_<>

>_<".....

Stressnya!!!! Helplessnya!!!! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

ish... kurung diri dalam bilik....

Killer wind...

Today I spent the day... *sigh* like usual in my room... but I was glad... Glasgow's killer wind striked today.
Only had to face it when I got to go to the gym in the evening...
Fierce battle between men and the elements...
Wind so strong, even I sway in it...
Needless to say, *snigger* WY nearly flew off *buahahahaha!!!*... ehheeemmm...
What amazes me was that the direction of the wind can change to it's direct opposite in a split second!!O[]O... Hmm... maybe it's a normal thing here... but this is the first time I get to feel wind this strong and wild...
-_-" feel like jakun tim...

Punishment...

After spending one and a half week in my room, I finally decided to go out and settle all my things, like go to the bank, pay my bills, send my mail, go to the pharmacy to get cod liver oil... *ehemm... actually also because orange network sent me an sms stating my bill is due**cough*...
Got ready, all set to go out... *loud splashing outside window*....
Opened window take a glance...
*O[]O!!!!! Hail!!!... and bloody heavy....*
*-_-".... wait, wait, wait....*

The hail was followed by rain... ok no problem... wait ler what to do?
After 10 mins... *Look out window ^o^...* Clear sky!!! Sunshine!!!
Get ready, go out... walk to bank... sky turn dark... drizzle... *-_-... ok nvm...*
Finish banking, walk to pay bill... rain got heavier...
Got out of 'Orange' shop... even heavier... *`'>.< soaked*...
Walk at speed of light to Buchanan gallery for shelter and to go to the pharmacy...
Saw Mark, doing his pharm care survey and WJ was with him.
Mark: eh... hi...
WJ: eh, outside raining ah??
Me: *-_-"* no ak... *point finger at hair**drenched.. water dripping head to toe...*
WJ: *giggle* *giggle*

Then kena forced to do stoo... err no... exciting, ya exciting... survey... ahahaha... Mark gonna bantai me!!! Woohoo...

After everything, got out of Buchanan Gallery... *^o^... Clear sky again...* *consider... consider...* Ok... decided to go to the post office send my mail... Later, coming out of the post office... *shhaaaaaaaaaaa... (this the background sound)* *O[]O""""""""""""""""""""* Raining 'dog shit'!!!
Luckily my residential hall is just one block behind the building...
Walk back in rain... *T^T*
Enter my room... rain stopped.... *HTMC*


Stay indoor too long... kena punish... (My hair still standing when I left)

In my room

Once again, a new semester has started... Oh before anything else... I would like to wish everyone a happy new year! Wishing everyone good health and happiness throughout the year.

Ok then, now that I've done with that, where was I, oh new semester... This semester is the last I'll be having in Glasgow before I graduate. *>_< crossed fingers XXXX* This is going to be one busy semester. Well it's good I guess... Then I'll be able to get unnecessary things,... things that could never happen,... off my mind.

At this very moment, most my colleagues are in their labs doing their researches. As for me, I'm doing pharmaceutical care. I went to the hospital to get datas that I need before my holidays. Now I'm processing them and waiting for any updates from my supervisor and other group members. Besides, I'm also studying too. Realised I'm really left far far behind. *Damn!! What kind of pharmacist am I??* So, in other words, I'm now constrained within a cube I call my room.

Ok then, I have to get back to struggling to keep awake and read my notes.

To A-L, I've updated... hehe didn't know there are still ppl reading this boring stuffs...

Back from my trip

My trip to Spain and London ended when we boarded the bus yesterday midnight heading back here to Glasgow. We reached the bus station today morning at 8 am after a long bumpy, cramp and stuffy ride. Didn't had much sleep in the bus. Hmm.. didn't had any either during the day today. The trip was fun and relaxing. Unlike the time when we were in Italy. We took our time enjoying the country. However, even though this trip we didn't have to carry our back packs all around, it was more tiring than the time we had in Italy. Maybe it's because of the cold weather. Talking about cold weather, it snowed much tonight and it's still snowing. We went out to build snowman and slide down the slope behind our block. Great fun!! Haven't had so much laugh since the last summer. This is my first snow experience. Maybe after a few days of snowing I might be hoping that it didn't snow so much... But anyway, I'll be enjoying the snow when I still like it...
Meet.... errrr.... frosty! the snowman... no not the one on the right...

Meet my breakfast... (this wat wu liau ppl do -_-")

plagiarism...

Few days back I got back my introduction from my supervisor... The result from the scan state that my work consisted of 13.35% similarity with (include in print out 27 websites) articles from the internet. My expression at that moment was like O_O??!!??... I did my introduction by myself in my own words and the websites given I had not seen. Well, that's still alright I thought, there must be thousands of work outside on the internet. Finding something similar is not so surprising since my work contains a lot of facts. But still, 27 websites... and only for 13.35% of my work... *hmmm... these authors must have BLOODY COPIED every word from each other!!!...* *sigh* It's either I have to bend and alter facts, give a novel length explanation for something worth one sentence or use poor grammar in order to make it my own work... -_-"...

Call from home...

Today, at around 3pm, I got a long distance call from friends in Malaysia!!. Whao, was I surprised!! We chat for at least half an hour. Appreciateed their call, but they had to tell me that they are having a 'yum cha' session... -_-"... knowing that I miss it so much... Anyway, got to hear their voices again is really relieving. Then, got to talk 'fai wah' (crap) with my buddy.. ahahaha... how I miss it so much... Spending time with friends outside at night, talking crap, enjoying each others company. Bloody hell!! now the next 8 months will seem F long!! Wah!!.. I wanna go yum cha!!! I wanna talk crap with my friends!!! I wanna eat good food again!!!... T^T ...

Screensaver for my phone...

This is a screen saver I made for my phone. Was made quite a while ago...

Semester break just started

Had just gone through 2 class test, one yesterday and one today. The one we had yesterday was drug delivery systems, which consists of various types of current delivery systems. The class test contributes 50 percent to the degree paper and this is a 'one off' type where the subjects tested will not appear again in the final year paper. In this class test, we are only tested on four sub topics and already the heavy reading material. Journals... and more journals... Before the test, I was already feeling nauseous from all the reading. HOWEVER, during the test, I realised that we were given only very limited time to complete the short answer questions or rather, it should instead be called short novel questions. The question given were general and alot of information could be given but, what the heck, the time given was not enough. Ahh... hope what I put in is enough to get me good grades...

Today's paper was on recent advances of current researches and it require us to read a journal and answer 8 questions in 3 hours. Well, I think the time given should be sufficient... I think? I completed all the questions given with some answers being cut short. Besides, usually, I take a day just to finish a journal, so today I think I burned a few fuses going overdrive on finishing the journal in 1 and a half hour. Felt my head burning after the test... Hah... I myself was wondering why did I go all out on this test... it was only a mock test and no marks are to be given... Anyhow, I'm glad it's all over now. Now, I'll be waiting for my trip to Spain... Ohh.. still have to look up on a few destinations... Hmm.. guess I won't be free for a while yet...

Muah first wallie....

This is my first wallpaper. Happy that I've finally got into making one after saying so... This one is of Mugen from Samurai Champloo. Great anime... for those who like the way of the warrior, this is a must see. Woohoo...
more shall come... hope I can improve on them...

Sien...

Study till sien... *yawn* it's 2.00 am here in U.K. and I should be sleeping. Tomorrow need to wake up at 7.30 to continue studying. Hai... sien lah study here... not like back home in Malaysia, sien, can go out with friends mamak. *wah! thinking of milo ice and roti pisang*... Damn... When I'm back in Malaysia, I'm gonna go out nightly to get that feel again... But maybe then, nobody wanna go out with me ler... hai.. okok don't think too far... But the food here is really expensive ler... Ahh.. WTF lah... go sleep... maybe can get a nice dream. *yawn*... -_-

I wonder....

When I was 15, I discovered that I love science. I love the logical, evidence-based thinking and thus, this have caused me to persue a career along the scientific line. Back then, I can't even draw to save my own life, as they would say. But I still like arts though. Just that I can't produce artistic works, I'm still interested in arts; umm.. such as music, I've learned to play the guitar, not talented at it though; I like making sculptures, took ages to produce anything good, but still... hai... give me some credit ok???... -_-" ...; and I love designs and other art stuffs lah... lazy to explain so much. Well, that's then. Now, I'm doing a degree in pharmacy and I realised I'm getting well, more in touch with my artistic side?? I got better in drawing and lately I've been making wallpapers.... ahahaha... So, my conclusion is, I've been wondering, may it be, because I've exhausted the left side of the brain and now the right side is kicking in? Hmmm... it's only a hypothesis...

Pondering....

What is happiness when there is no one to share with???

It's been a looooonnnnngggg time....

Well, it's been a looonnnngggg time since i last posted... Why? Well, nothing interesting have been happening in my life... well at least till now... So I got bored of writing my daily events which even bore myself to death. Today, it snowed... nah, not that interesting though, to tell the truth. Just looking for a reason to write again. Snow in November... that should be something interesting as they said it seldom snow in Glasgow. Besides, from our seniors, it only snowed for three days last year and it was during December... Who know's we brought the snow?? ahahaha... if that's true, well we are one bunch of cold hearted people then. Anyway since it snowed this early, I'm assuming that it will get even colder in December and worse in January. As for me, up till now, I've already forgotten how cold feels like... All I know is that either I'm feeling warm, or I'm already numb... Still can cope with the weather here. This scares me somehow too... this means I'm not going to able to tolerate the heat back home in Malaysia. My my... this is some problem.

Anyways, I've been busy doing my research work and also studying for my coming test. Will be going to Spain during the holidays... Hope by then I'll write more frequently again. Well can't help it... feels bored to write uninteresting things like daily affairs.... Who'd want to read??? Hai.... "hai kum sin lah"!!!
