Slacky Life

I overslept this morning!
Was suppose to wake up at 9 but i woke up at 10.21, and my class is at 10.30!
The reason is.... I FORGOT TO SET MY ALARM! =.="
missed the 10.05 bus so i rushed and hurried for the 10.40 bus..
Luckily i got on to it and went to lecture a little bit late.
I repeat, A LITTLE BIT.

After that 2 hours of lecture of virus, pathogen, bacteria bla bla bla~
Went to have lunch with Kai, Kozue and Michelle.
We laughed so much today. Talked so much. CHAOS.
Kai took out her camera and we started camwhoring.
Freakssss......Planned to go to the library for that 2 hour, but Kai and Kozue said they wanted to wait for Aya to finish lecture and have lunch, so we waited.
Went to the next table to chit chat with slifix, Sally and Tracy.
Suddenly coughed so much till I couldn't even speak!
Ran to get some soothing candies.

taken today in Bamboo.
for those who have no idea how long my hair is now.

Finally me and Tracy decided to go to the library, so off we went to get her a coffee and sat outside the library since she wanted to finish it before she goes in.
Chit chatted again. Then Shin came out from the library and she said nobody is having lunch with her. So I went back to Bamboo again and accompanied her until my class.

Conclusion : DID NOT STUDY FOR THE 2 HOURS BREAK

Haha. Really slacky.
Well I did went to the library for a little bit of study during the next 1 hour break.
Really SO little that I couldnt even remember what I have studied.
Did pretty well for the physio quiz today. =D

Came home and have my beloved porridge again.

My leftover porridge since Sunday
and the "tao eu bak" that i cooked.
I COOKED.

Struggled for my STAT252 assignment.
I haven't been turning up for stat lecture since week 2.
I was like 4 weeks behind. And never do self study.
That's why!Don't know how to do!
Can't blame me, the lecturer sucks. Ask my class, who goes to Stat lecture?
Probability of answering NO should be higher than 50%.
My Assumption =P

Anyways gotta go to library and study hard tommorow.
Work hard for BIOL midsession!
Its on Thursday and I am only starting to do revision tommorow =.="
Jo the Slacker.

S M I L E

Big smile =D opps, this should be laugh.. should be =)

Suprisingly felt quite happy today (???)
Got up this morning and had alex's birthday cake for breakfast.
Went to uni at 9.05 and came back at 5.40.
What a long day!and the reason i feel happy is because i received compliments?
haha...maybe...
You will never know how much your compliments meant to somebody.
so praise more, criticize less.

Some frustrating stuff happens too. I went to EverywhereInternet (EI) cafe in uni wanted to get online, and who knows i changed 3 PCs and none of them are working! GRRR...
made me looked like an idiot shifting here and there!!! And there is this guy sitting beside me laughed suddenly, and couldn't stop..wonder what's so interesting about the forum he is viewing. Maybe it's fate for me not to get online, so I went to library to study. Sat somewhere near the stairs. There are 2 idiots chatting at the stairways! Their conversation echoed and everybody can hear it. IT'S SUPER ANNOYING! Some people started to pack their stuff and moved somewhere else, some people kept looking at the stairway with those pissed off face and yet, nobody dare to walk up there and ask them to shut up.

I was struggling whether i should go over and ask them to move somewhere else to chat or not..
Actually why should I struggle? Its their fault, not mine. But it just takes courage to walk up to some strangers and ask them to shut up (of course in a polite manner). This continued for like 5-10 minutes. LOL I know it's a bit too long. Before I made my decision, their super annoying conversation finished and one of them walked in. I was trying hard to use my most pissed off face to stare at her. But too bad she seemed to not realized that. Hah! Continued to study. Covered 2 lectures of Biology, DNA and Genetics. Wonder if they would give us the codon for the DNA and amino acids translation, I AM NOT GOING TO MEMORIZE ALL THOSE! like GCT,GCC,GCA,GCG = Alanine (and 19 more) @.@ so the lecturer better give us a copy of those during midsession test!

I was sick since Friday night (those feel like I am dying moments)
Was getting better now, just a little bit of coughing here and there and minor sore throat.
don't feel like cooking, decided to eat the congee i cooked yesterday..
Hee, brilliant me cooked a big pot =P
But its PLAIN Congee...So i invented my own way of eating it!!

The secret recipe is .................................................

plain congee + miso paste

Quite yumm though. It just taste like the congee my granny used to cooked for babies,
suddenly back to my childhood days!!!I miss popo too!!It has been a while seen i called her...I shall call tommorow!! actually i missed congee with Marmite!Bovril's!!! craved for that for years but mum said it's for babies so i haven't got to eat it for ages!!
Decided to eat congee again tommorow..Yeeppiiieee~
I miss mummy's 皮蛋瘦肉粥!

My super yumm dinner~
SATISFACTION

At last I did some study today!
Finished my chem assignment and chem tutes~
Have 1 quiz, 2 assignments due, 1 midsession test this week!
and Shana's Bday Party this friday.
and 2 more midsession and quiz next week!
I wished i could just eat up all the books and digest them..Weeee...

OK gotta turn in now..
My back hurts again. My spine hurts all the time, it has been a while.
I should go to chiropractic when I go back to Malaysia. Starting to miss the chiropractic already. It feels so good after each treatment!!!

Good night~ Sweet dreams jo, no more killing nightmares and got rob dreams please!

Follow up for the weird news

Got to know some news of this weird guy from a HK mag.

Lets call him Mr.X.

Mr.X seems to forget about his pain when he was seen buying AV after the "having sex with a steel bench" incident. Some paparazzi tailed him and discovered that he loves to shop in AV shops in HK. They even found out what he bought!
They said Mr.X has special taste for AV, he seemed to be not interested in normal AV, and all those AV that he picked were SM AVs. They even mentioned that he finally bought 3 AVs (even mentioned the names) for HKD93 after choosing here and there!
(applause to HK paparazzies)

Mr.X was seen in an AV shop.

He had became so famous that everyone started to give him some "nice" nicknames

Mr X. finally confessed the truth about that incident during an interview with the reporters. He said "Sigh.Don't take me as a pervert. Actually I was brought to the park by 3 Ah Longs (貴 利 佬), they force me to pay back my debts, and fed me a few viagra, that's why ... "

Blood stains were seen on his shirt when he left the hospital

The poor steel bench which was being raped by Mr X was certified to have 1 inch diameter holes on it, which is almost the same size as a 1 HKdollar coin. The government said they might consider to sue Mr X under the inappropriate use of public ammenities which causes loss rule.
They said this steel bench was being imported from US and each of them costs HKD14800+ (RM 7000+). Mr X was really worried when the reporters mention about this as he still has tonnes of debt to pay off.

Haha, this is some translation from the article in the magazine ...

This Mr X is really crazy. I think i should seriously beware of the public benches with holes nextime, who knows whether it is still a virgin or not? LOL

Weird News

A man almost lost his penis because of having sex with a steel bench... =_=

This guy from Hong Kong is really crazy....why on earth he is having sex with a steel bench in the public? and the most embarassing thing is he got stuck and had to call for the police!!
and come on look at the hole of the bench, isn't it a bit too weird to stick his penis in?
my friend said the hole is too small!!haha....

he was stuck there and they tried to pull him out, which is a really challenging job for the doctors.
they finally had to bring the whole bench back to the hospital,
and after 4 hours of rescuing he got his little brother back..
the doctor said if it was to be 1 hour late, they would have to cut his little brother off!
ewwwww....
its a real crazy news....

and here he go, famous appearing on TV news and internet...

(Link for video)

Came across this article from the link above, the weirdasianews.com

watched Olympic men's single,
Lee Chong wei vs. Lin Dan..
didnt watch the whole thing, just the second round..
Lin Dan won the game, felt dissapointed..
however, i will still be proud of u LCW,
as what the commentator said, LCW is the best badminton player of Msia ever..

This makes me realise something...
He wasn't the champion from the first day he was born..
he must have gone through lotsa obstacles, hard times to be who he is today..

"the wall is to show you how badly you want a thing" by Dr Randy Pausch from "the last lecture"
wall=obstacles in this context.
who never came across obstacles?
and when you encounter obstacles, what you do?
hide? face it? overcome it? or do nothing?

and when you do something,
do you actually think, how worth is it to do that thing?
is it a must to do? is that what you want to do?

I did something ridiculous today,something that i never expect myself to do..
and of course I didnt get the expected result i wanted to...
its just a minor part of life..the bonus of life...
is not essential, bonus makes your life a little bit better,
but without it you will still survive...
so maybe i should not hold on to it too much?
i have more important stuff to do!

i slacked over the weekend,
watched "溏心风暴之家好月圆"
12 episodes in a day....end up didnt do what i planned..
STUDY?where is the STUDY part?
regretted wasting my time...
but the drama is nice...i cried almost every episode... =.="
family...the love and bond among the family, the brothers and sisters really touched my heart..

well, its time to just let things go the way it should be..
things should happen naturally,maybe i shouldnt demand...
since i don't really know what i want...
the only thing i m sure i want is GOOD RESULTS...
i should just work hard on that...no time to think of other stuff...

STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY

dinner @ caleb's

Went over to Caleb and Shuichi's place on Monday...
havent seen them for quite some time already...

Fran - Sarah - Jo

the power of SLR...

======================================================

I am seriously busy these few days,
working hard for my STAT252 assignment...
I had my draft finally...
Its my 1st assignment for stats, using JMP programme to make graphs and tables,
then write a statistical report...
It weighs 6%, but i put quite a lot of effort in it,
that always happen for the 1st assignment!haha..

and i submitted my 1st attempt for my Chemistry online quiz,
will try to do the 2nd attempt if I have time...
I have to have time don't I?
Its the 2nd session of 1st year,
I should study HARD HARD HARDER than last session..

seriously i did not work hard enough last session,
too much distraction =sigh=
so now, nothing shall distract me from studies anymore..
STUDY IS STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT!!!
I SAID SO!!!

Suddenly so motivated??
Well..i am a little bit dissapointed with my results last session now..
I am not dissapointed when i got it...but after 2 months i am regretting it!
i should have done better!way more better!!!
I just got 3 Ds out of 4 subjects...
OK Well i did not fail BIOL which i thought i would..
BUT i did not meet my goals!my targets!
I want to be in Dean Merit list! Top 5%!
* Dean merit list simply means if u are the top 5% of students in that faculty..
ITS FACULTY!
which means there will be like thousand over competitors..all doing different course..
so does it mean that if you do an easier course you get into the Dean List easier?
hahas..no comment...

Set your goals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.
My Goals this session :
at least 2 HD.....
but the subjects this session are much more harder... =( sobz

all the subjects require more reading than last session..
and the pace is so fast, the lecturer couldnt cover so many topics in such a short time..
so...self study is essential!
so i will be freaking busy this sem
assignments, quizzes, online quizzes, prelabs, selfstudy, working etc etc
plus entertainments like drinking, mahjong-ing =P
JIA YOU JIA YOU....!!!!!

I wish I were a nerd that studies too much

"Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory." Ghandi

Woke up around 11+
went to library around 2 and studied 1 chapter of stats...
finally have some concept about how to do my assignment...
Assignments are killing me!and there will be so many things and parties to do this week!

and got back home safely...
its so hard to drive over here, scared!

When i got back i went to play basketball with Max and Ryo, OUTDOOR! with the cold wind blowing, i gave up after 20 minutes...SERIOUS HEADACHE...
that's the bad thing about me, having headache when there is cold wind blowing!

came back and cooked dinner...
cooked mapo taufu, beef with ginger and shallot and stir fry vege...
and then i fried some rice for my lunchbox tommorow...
heee..i think i passed my day quite meaningfully today!!!
Love this kind of feeling, at least don't feel like i am wasting my time...
Have to study hard from today onwards, its already week 4!!!!

STUDY HARD, PLAY HARD..
