indulgence

another weekend in IMU...
not going back this weekend..
so, as usual.. met up with my friends in the library to study..
let's see... Hazel, WenYi, Alice, JiaRu.. and me... we were the only ones who turned up.. YahLee is "busy".. because her "housemates" are moving in...
anyway, our 1st class test -- Principles of Human Nutrition is just around the corner.. on friday..
that's why.. we were extra "hardworking"...
poor Hazel, she went home early, because she had a headache.. i hope she's feeling well..

looking forward for WeiJie's dessert.. the 糖水that he said he'd prepare...
guys in N&D are really talented in cooking... 1st it's ChonXiang.. now WeiJie.. i wonder if there's any other hidden talents...
well.. turns out that WeiJie was in Putrajaya, watching his school's choir perform, in a patriotic songs choir competition..
so, the dessert's gotta wait till evening..

then, WeiJie called and said that he'd probably won't be able to make it back in time.. *disappointment*
but he'll prepare it on sunday anyway.. *faces lightens up*
sitting at the library, with all the Nutrition books piled up in front of us..
we had another of our brilliant ideas again...
why don't we cook dinner ourselves... again....
now u know why we all chose N&D..

anyway, dinner yesterday totally wiped out all my storage of veggies and stuff..
so, we made an lightning trip to Carrefour...
and bought "ingredients" of the dishes that we'll like to cook...
headed back to my apartment.. and the chefs -- Me + Alice + WenYi & JiaRu.. got to work...

and here's the result...
4 delicious looking dishes..
we even invited WeiJie to join us for dinner..
so.. the 5 of us.. ate dinner and watched the SUMMER CONCERT 08 by 8TV.. at my place..
can't say i'm impressed by the concert this year..
let's just say it's just.. "so-so"

had another nice day.. thanks guys.. for making another one of my boring days interesting...


our masterpieces.. sorry for the blurred picture..

bAd daY.. haPPy eNdinG...

it's friday again~
woke up and went for breakfast in ALISON, Sri Petaling as usual..
it has become our weekly routine...
Alice + Me + WenYi + XingYing + Hazel + YahLee..
we went in XinYing's car..

later, we hung out in the library..
revising and doing the presentation for Moral Studies..
as usual.. we have only a 1 hour lecture today.. and it's 2.45-3.45pm.. zzzz...
plenty of time till then..
plus.. we're looking forward to our IKEA trip..
have been planning on it since 2 weeks ago..
so.. images of delicious.. tempting food filled my mind..

well.. apart from that.. i do feel a bit down..
LiangHin.. one from our gang.. he's leaving for Taiwan to further his studies in Life Sciences..
i know it's his dream to study in Taiwan.. and it's his choice.. so.. i guess we can only wish him well...
hey.. LiangHin..
we'll miss the LiangHin, who photostated our lecture notes for us..
we'll miss the LiangHin, who can always sing with us.. *winks*
we'll miss the LiangHin, who can never stand still...
wey~~ this time.. don't let your calculator bring my calculator 私奔 to Taiwan ya!!
take care.. we'll miss having u around.. all the best ya~~

after Professionalism in Nutrition & Dietetics..
we got to the atrium.. to our dismay.. it was raining.. pouring.. to be exact..
or "raining cats & dogs" as some would call it...
the wind was blowing furiously.. and the rain came down in torrents..
stranded in IMU.. our spirits dampened..
there goes our IKEA trip..
we got news that there was this HUGE traffic jam where we're headed..
so... we went to the cafeteria.. waiting for the rain to stop..

sat in the cafeteria..
some munching on their waffles..
us licking our ice-creams (yes.. ice-cream on a rainy day)
we started coming up with other possible "destinations"
Neway.. Steven's Corner.. Sri Petaling.. OUG..
we finally decided on either Stevens's corner or somewhere in OUG..
wanted to go to Neway... been craving to go sing K for few weeks..
but, most of us was already tired and just wanted to go get a bite and come back to Vista as soon as possible..

escaped from IMU.. as the heavy rain subdued to a slight drizzle..
CheeCheng and XinYing went to get their cars from the IMU open car park..
while, me + WenYi + Alice.. went to Vista C, where Alice's car was parked..
everything was fine.. when suddenly..
"BANG!!" Alice's Waja hit a Silver Kancil, WHU1458, at the entrance of Vista C.. at the guard house..
we must have missed the Kancil.. because it was still raining.. and there was another car coming into the Vista C from the other direction..
anyway.. the Kancil driver.. a big Malay guy.. got off his vehicle and began screaming insults..
he was really unpleasant.. we apologized and said that we were willing to pay for the damage done to his car..
but he was like.. seriously mistrust us... he even wanted Alice's I/C and hand phone..
as if we would run away.. hey~ we're future health care staff.. and we're IMU students.. stay in Vista C some more.. wanna run away also cannot lar!

CheeCheng and the others got there.. and even Eugene.. who happened to look out of his apartment and saw what happened..
the Malay guy was still unfriendly..
but agreed to go to the work shop with us in Sri Petaling to see how much it costs to fix the damage..

CheeCheng's MyVi took the wrong turn at the first junction and they couldn't catch up with us..
then, at Sri Petaling, the 1st work shop we went to said they didn't offer this service..
the Malay guy then headed for his friend's work shop..
XinYing's car got left behind at the traffic lights..
and it was just us three girls left..

at the workshop.. the lady there said it was about RM600-RM700!!
hey.. it's just a Kancil door.. how much would it need??
the Malay guy kept threatening that he'd call his "abang" to come "bincang" with us if we wouldn't pay..
we wanted to just make a police report and let the other party claim insurance..
but he wouldn't accept the offer.. goodness knows why..
we were really in a tight spot.. we weren't familar with the area.. and the people wouldn't let us make police report..
the Malay guy kept saying that it was incovenient for his "mother" who drives the car to work..
and there was phone calls coming in that said wanna beat us up or something if we wouldn't pay!!
we ended up having to pay RM500..
but i came up with a simple agreement stating that the accident was already settled.. and no further liability would be taken...
and made the Malay guy sign it..
RM500 was overpriced.. it was obvious...
but at that situation.. we just had to give in..
we had to get away from that place to where we're familar with..
who knows what these people will do if we wouldn't give in..

was in a bad mood when we finally got back to Vista C..
gloomy.. what a bad day...
walked to Vista B to meet up with Hazel and YahLee..
and walked over to the basketball/volleyball court to checkout the IMU cup event going on there..
it was volleyball.. well, didn't see anyone familar... so we walked back towards Vista..

we're still hungry.. our dinner plans was ruined..
so, we suddenly had an idea..
to cook at my place.. and have dinner there..
spirits lifting.. just a little..
we packed some rice at the stalls in front of Vista B..
and headed to my apartment in Vista C1..

it was lucky that we went to Pasar Malam in OUG the day before..
and i've bought some veggies there..
started preparing the ingredients and cooking the dishes..
got more and more cheery.. *winks*
got a simple 3 dish dinner ready..
and the three of us.. Alice + WenYi + Me.. sat down to dinner..
hey.. it was actually not bad~~
sat there chatting.. topics covering just about everything...
joking.. laughing hysterically...
so they say "laughter's the best medicine"..
our bad moods got thrown right out of the window in no time~

as they we started cleaning up..
they suddenly remembered... they wanted to copy songs and drama series from me..
so, we gathered in my room, in front of my laptop..
singing and chatting while waiting for the files being copied into their pendrives..
rumaged inmy desk drawers and my collection of nail polish and stuff caught our eyes..
came up with this crazy idea to start decorating our nails..
and we did..
this is definitely one of the best thing of being a girl..
we get to bond while gossiping and doing girls stuff.. (too bad guys...)
we decided on white.. quite a rare shade of nail polish.. but.. it actually turned out quite nice~~

guess what, when we finally did finish doing our nails.. it was past midnight..
Alice + Me.. we walked with WenYi back to her apartment in Vista B1..
and went back to our respective apartments in C1.. (it was alreay 1.00am++)
feeling positively happy + cheery.. despite all the bad and unhappy stuff that happened today...


dinner... all ready for us to dig in... satisfactory of self-prepared dinner..

20.08.2008 >>> 20082008

someone mentioned in his blog.. that today was a special day...
20.08.2008... it's 20082008...
let's see how my day went....

9.00am
got into Multi Disciplinary Lab 4 just in time for the General Chemistry Practical 3..
joined my fellow bench-mates: HongHui, ShiauShiang, SooWei and JiaHuan at our bench -- Bench 5~
did an experiment to determine sodium carbonate & sodium bicarbonate in a solution containing both..
me and JiaHuan did the Part I first..
while, the others did the Part II..

we finished it quite fast.. despite doing an extra titration, since we had so much solution left(shhh.. don't tell the lab assistants).
and, since the others weren't finished with the Part II, me and JiaHuan started playing around, and helped the others prepare the apparatus and stuff for the Part I.
we kept on talking in Chinese, which irritates the Indian lab assistant, who kept on going "why aren't u speaking English?", "what is all this Chinese?"...
hehehehe.. i'll bet she's dying to know what we're talking and laughing about, she's been eavesdropping and couldn't understand a word..wakakaka....
anyway, there was plenty of time, and we fooled around, camwhoring, when the lab assistants weren't looking of course..

when it was our turn to use the magnectic stirrer for the Part II titration, there was only like.. 1/2 hour left!! omg...
the lab assistant had a sinister look on the face when she reminded us, "u have only 1/2 hour left.. fast.. fast.."
anyway, i still think she's really cute...
very "expert-like" JiaHuan and i managed to finish the titration!! yay~~
don't ask us how.. but we managed it anyway..



12.00pm
exit the MDL4, and went to the atrium..
it was lunch hour, however, we stopped by at the Clinique Roadshow Booth, that was set up in the atrium.
got some free samples..
had lunch at the cafeteria..
went to class at MPH5..



1.30pm
seated in the MPH5 for Dr. Tony's lecture on Dietary Lipids..



4.00pm
went for the Clinique Workshop thingy at the Lecture Theatre 2..
regretting it after 15mins..
slipped out at 5.00pm..



5.00pm
stepped into the library, in search of my fellow practical bench-mates..
we had to plot the titration graphs, which had to be handed in with our practical reports the next day by 12pm.
found them in the E-Learning Lab..
worked hard.. key-ing in the data.. modifying it.. till we finally got a nice looking curve~



7.00pm
walked home, in an exhausted + hungry state..



basically, it wasn't really an interesting day for me..
but, i guess there were some memorable moments in between~



Burette & Pipette line-up~
