i'll haf employed myself...

for my sincerity....
for goodness sake i walked for 30-40 min under ther afternoon hot sun in jeans! who knows there's 2 DSO there....??

on street directory i saw DSO opposite MP Biomedicals... i intended to take a public bus straight to that place to hand in job applications de... end up took a shuttle bus from biopolis to NUH, coz "DSO" is juz next to sci canteen....

argh!! they're not the same DSO.... based on my instinct....i walked to near AYE, then bouna vista flyover... alongside PGP.... and overshot Sci Park Dr.... and into the correct road.... and then it's another 3 bus stops to the end of the road where the company's at......

if im the employer... i'll employ me..... f**k the interview....

oh i got called up yesterday evening for an interview! it's this fri, with the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.... but im kinda in a dilemma... my 1st choice will be staying here in GSK of course... since i've already gotten so used to the working style and environment here... and i like it here.... the team system that they employ... the ppl here are fun-loving and funny... the environment is stimulating.... but for now i cant be guaranteed a position here. i've heard that there'll be an opening soon, but dunno when...even if i applied i might not even get it ya? but like wad Sung told me, my chances r high.... im now opening my eyes big big for a TAP programme with GSK.... hehehh....

SACPS, T15 and K750i

been a bz... or rather, a fulfilling week... spent mon to wed on this course in animal handling where we learnt how to handle small lab animals, and perform some common procedures on them... things like injections.. blood sampling... and of course... euthanasia... and no worries.. all done fast and humanely... might think it's cruel... but that's precisely why we need to learn and practise ya...? Refinement....

and now im certified!! woohoo~~ *updates resume*

from thurs till sat i went for a p5 camp as camp instructor again... with whiz.. a last min job coz someone pulled out at the 11th hour.... hehe... i think this is my best of the 3 camps i went so far... at least i feel that im progressing.... but of course i also know that partly it's coz the (campers) girls were responding well.... they cheered, sang, responds to our calls... they din show much attitude like those from sec sch... oh and they were so cute! hah!! bed time they were all slping in the main hall so we haf a cluster of 300 p5 girls all had they slping bags covering the whole of the hall.... they were in their home PJs too... and with their hug toys!! haa....got heart-shaped pillows... cow cushions... some were in over-sized one-piece pj that goes all the way down to their ankles.... haha.... anyway, come back to it.... i think im progressing la.... hahaa....

nothin went on much on sat... im juz staying indoors to take some rest... tired.... and taking some rest preparing for next day's trail ride!! yea~

met up with chel early in the morning juz after daybreak for a slow ride to meet dw... it's been quite some time since i went for trail rides le.... the trail (t15) was wet... from previous days rain so it was quite slippery... actually i dun fancy a challenging trail tat much.... come to think of it...i'll prefer a laid-back ride in malaysia... juz crusing along some grassland... with the sun setting in the horizon and breeze on my face.....waahh.....
actualli that was the scene when i was cycling in desaru last yr....one of my most enjoyed ride....
anyway sunday's ride ended with my bike wash as usual after some offroad riding.... haben been cucling offroad for some time so it kinda slipped my mind for bike maintenence.... and i found rust on my chain!! and no wonder there's been some grinding noise coming from the drivetrain... it's bone-dry.... damn.

considering to get a phone soon, nope, i'll get a phone soon... moto L7 has been on my mind for quite some time now... shld i juz go for it? the features it has r rather basic...not really basic actually... vga cam (pic and vid)... mp3 player...erm.. wad else...no radio...
how ah how ah.... urgh....
yb juz bought K750i yesterday... mp3 player, 1.3M pix cam, with light/flash, radio...









this??
















or this???

a journey of a thousand miles

did a 3D2N camp with manjusri sec 3 students over the last 3 days... it was great... did a lot of self discovery for myself....

1 of my weaknesses, especially in such camps, is to handle groups on my own.. coz im not complete..hehe... cheem eh.... no lah wad i meant was i usually need someone to complement me. i know my strength in facilitating activities like climbing, belaying, kayak so on and so forth... however i suck at hyping up groups... im not one of those who can hype up the spirit of a group of trainees kind... however, i think i can do better next time... althou i feel bad that im unable to make the camp a better one for this group of mine (hope that they'll be able to contact me), i'll do so with the next one i'll be handling next time round...

but lucky for me i've got quite a great group of students with me, most of them are very mentally prepared for such camps so there isn't much complains abt anything. they're very self-initiative too... thou it's a camp of only 3 days (actually strictly only 2), i got this gift of able to see ppl.... (haa!! nah.. juz some small observations only)... there're ppl with ideas, creativity, knowledge, enthusiasm, leadership (only a couple of them).... but one thing that's lacking in most is the ability to stand out to lead, to share, to dictate... it's nothin difficult actually... juz need that very 1st step... and the rest will follow thru... with all the good qualities i see in them...

it's like wad we always hear... a journey of a thousand miles begins with the very 1st step... if u r unable to make that 1st step, u'll always be where u r... the same goes for myself...

i not stupid 2

when u point a finger at a person, u r pointing 4 at yourself.... hear this b4...?

not a very closely related analogy but close enough... as an after-viewing thought to Jack Neo's new movie...

"I not Stupid too" talks abt a couple of teenage boys from a Normal Technical class in secondary school. Generally students from Normal Stream were labelled... and when u say "labelled" of coz they're bad labels.... and how working parents handle family matters...

"Look more on their good points, less on the bad points"....
i think this is my take home message from the movie... to highlight and try to bring out a person's good points/talents... and "bad point" is subjective....

I've come to realised this actually abt a yr ago, when my parents asked me to attend a parent-teacher meeting on their behalf while both of them were at work. I've come to see how teacher can bad-mouth students (my brother, he's from normal stream too), not realli bad-mouth, but the words and comments that come out from her mouth, wahlau-eh...

perhaps that was juz an isolated case bah.... i've seen some of my brother's teachers when he was younger...they're much more patient and they realli spot a student's strength...

but then again if u put this same teacher into a rowdy classroom for 5 yrs, would she be the same still??

she has to be...she's a teacher...

"when was the last time u praised someone?"

sickened

it's been a while since i last had anything written here...
lots of things happened...so by right i shld haf loads to write abt....
however we dun...always write everything we think abt in our diaries... knowing that sometimes ppl might read them...

not that i've got things to hide from anyone...
there're juz certain unhappy stuffs which cant be helped and nothin i can do abt... sense of helplessness... so would rather not talked abt them....

but briefly....
my grandma passed away....
we got a new(old) maid...
my proj is not starting till 1st week of march...

i'm moving out of hall and back home... and the new maid is occupying that room which my grandma vacate... initially i wanted to make it into a study room.... where i'll put my decktop/laptop, printer and stuffs... my bro had also thought of making it his own room... but i think he had this thought only after he knew of the maid coming in....

proj...
"it's scheduled to begin on 7th March, and XXXX wanna be there when we perform the surgury"

urgh! but i need to hand in by 24th april! and i got exam in the 2nd week of april.... damn....

sick...

prepared to wake up early to get breakfast for the folks who're still ard in GSK, who've yet to go for their leave... buying the ever-famous nasi lemak for them from chongpang...

hmm...this rumbling... feels so familiar.... it doesn't feel like im hungry.... lemme try squating.......

oh my god.... why is this happening????

the ride the non-aircon MRT to jurong east was a torture... the stillness of the air around me is making me nauseous... i can't take it anymore, i need to get out of the train to get some fresh air... why is the interval from Bukit Batok and Gombak so freaking long.......??!?! im bursting out in cold sweat.... kept fidgeting to distract myself.... urgh.....

the rest of the day in lab wasn't tat gd...was feeling ever so restless... tired and having body pain...i know that im going to fall seriously ill... i even almost puked in front of a fren whom i accompanied to buy presents over lunch(time)..

took the afternoon off to go home to rest... seen doc at last in the evening, after a nap... i supposed it's food poisoning... doc din say... but according to my knowledge on inflammatory responses (systemic fever, headache etc..), immune system (doc's prescription of heat-killed L.acidophilis) and common sense (laosai and puking symptoms)... the food at canteen 2 is not too clean....

so im convinced tat if u ever wanna eat from a cheena stall, plus eat well-cooked food....things which they can take does not mean tat u can as well... god knows wad their stomach is made up of.... and god knows wad they eat at home.... (oops)

i missed my solid shit.....


this is a belated post actually...(sorry no pic for this entry)
im fine and alive and kicking already... going for my second buffet coming fri, since the episode of LS and puking...

pengarang ride

finally did the ride! initially wanted to do an offroad one... damn!! dw was unbelieveably late coz he only woke up when we called him at changi village...kaoz... apparently this is not his 1st time in being late for ride...

end up we only did a road ride to renggit town for some seafood lunch and back... dropping by a mild offroad trail for a 15 min offroad... haha... pathetic...

waiting for dw...

our loyal mounts... im amazed how neatly we stacked our bikes.. thou wasn't intentional...

the road ride..

the "offroad" ride... nice scenery eh?

cant help it... im the only one who brough camera! gotta self-take lehz... need to act fierce somemore....

2nd week @ work

This is the 2nd week that im here le.. I like this place! The 1st day I was here I was overwhelmed…with ppl’s friendliness.. ppl juz asked abt each others’ weekend… wad they done last nite and stuffs… this place feels more like a forum than a lab (stereotyped to be boring, monotonous, very individualistics etc etc…) !

Being interactive and friendly aside, it’s quite a stimulating environment as well… the 1st week seems to be not so bz for them.. they dun mind juz sitting down with me teaching me things all from basics and complimenting on jobs well-done de… so unlike heese… haha…. He always say cannot compliment else will turn bad….

This far wad’ve I done…. Hmm… done some tissue(rat brain)-processing…slicing… immunostaining.. weigh some rats… visually learning how to do injections… done quite a bit of reading up….. yup that’s abt all la…

Juz to round it off….i like it here….

interview workshop

was badly dressed for it...
i thought i haf a compatible and presentable shirt and pants to go along with my black shoes bought from Penang... went back hall to realise tat my pants are cream in color, shirt is indigo.. with no belts... and black shoes.... argh...wad a combi...

was whining and rambling the whole while abt it and i even resorted to opening up my roommate's cupboard to try my luck... hehe... hey he got a pair of black pants! Bingo!! but wth...it's too loose.... and baggy... i looked like Ronald McDonald...if not for my black shoes...

decided to seek jw's advice... juz wear wad i haf and go there be a negative eg. lor...

oh! i was the 1st the go thru the mock interview...kaoz...so heng ahz... so i was damn to be a negative eg.... took a couple of photos there....see these!

like working class hor?

and yet another one....

back from penang part 3

Day 3
the last day of our stay in Penang le... after this, will be reporting to work in GSK and yan back to work too...sigh...sianz.... but it's a good thing we chose to go back on a sat so tat we still haf a sunday to rest and buffer... bus rite home at 10pm.

hmm....oh yah we went Batu Ferringhi, highlight of the day. it is one of the popular place to visit especially by the westerners... it's nothin much realli...mayb coz im not much of a beach person.. the beach is quite a popular place for it watersports...like jet-skiing, parasailing, banana boats...there's even horse-riding available! but we juz settled for a slow walk by the sea...with feet dipped inside the unexpectantly cooling water...hehee... at 1st we expected the beach to be populated by angmohs.... but there're more malays there! so happen that there's this family event i think... hmm....how i wish i can juz spend money without so much restraint...sigh....i haven tried parasail b4!!

actually b4 we even stepped into the sandy beach, we went for lunch 1st...weird eh? since we juz had breakfast (lor mee and roti canai with super sweet teh and coffee) like an hour ago...haha...think we realli over-eating le...actully was already feeling slightly uncomfortable in the stomach since the previous nite le....it's worse for yan.. even need to take medicine... anyway....lunch was lorbah ("lor" as in those black black mucus-like gravy, and "bah" as in meat).. it's actually like ngorhiang of singapore, but the ngorhiang has chunkier meat pieces and also using "lor" as dip... tat wasn't enough for yan' insatiable taste buds (oops!! hehe..).. we ordered another serving of bah kuteh... it's nice! not excellent...but it's good....
on our way back to Georgetown, the bus passed by this "toy museum"..and i saw a human-size Ninje Turtle! haha... soneday when i go penang again night wanna drop-by and take a look..? but i haf my doubts with malaysian's tourist attractions... (oops again!!)

on our way back... we stopped for a short break by the famous penang chendul and penang laksa! but we cant sit inside the laksa shop... uncle says we need to pay table charges if we bring the chendul in..*shrugz* but like the girl who did my haircut in Komtar said "sit by the stall and eat also got its own taste mah.." and the penang laksa is waaaaay better than the one we had near Kek Lok Si.....

we were actually held in a situation there...coz the check out time was 6pm (halfday's charge) and the bus will leave at 10pm... so in that 4 hours r we going to juz walk ard with our luggages? not very safe i think... so, we asked again lor! guesthouse uncle suggested us to go find the georgetown branch of the bus company coz usually they provide shuttle to NiBong terminal where we would board our bus.. and we decided that we can leave our luggages with them while we go for dinner....smart eh...?

last stop: Newland Food Centre. this place is famous for it's roadside stalls, with lotsa variety as usual... char kuay teow... chendul... beef noodle.. satay...aiyah u get it... actually we've been here last nite, without knowing that this is the infamous Newland Food Centre... anyway today we came for chee cheong fun and char kuay teow... both were good.... but we din stop there...haha!! had the local version of popiah and kuay teow soup... kaoz...now come to think of it...our stomach r bottomless.... OMG...
and u think it's the end....? u r wrong....we got ourselves a colonel hotdog from A&W! haha....who can resist that....and the curly fries..and the root beer.... awww..... we got to meet this old indonesian couple who's going to be on the same bus back to Singapore with us... we acutally met them on this van (holding 9 ppl including driver and all luggages). they were actually going back to indonesia via plane ride from singapore....strange thou that they din fly direct...much more convenient.. they were worrying coz they "bought" their bus tickets from the hotel room, so it's not the actualy ticket...they still need to go to the counter to get confirm them and get the seat & berth no... anyway it was all settled..

the bus was a good one... Gunung Raya...surprisingly we got it for only RM$50... it can bring us back in Singapore but we chose to stop at larkin instead...it's much more convenient for us, plus we can haf breakfast there.. the wanton mee there is gd. I've nv ever in my life sleep thru a long-distance bus journey in malaysia b4....this is 1st...the ride was so smooth and quiet....*shhh*

urgh i had hard time typing this thing...watching tv and bro/mum/aunt talking in the background in chinese.... hard time trying to switch language mode up there... anyway...it's done =)

back from penang, part 2

Day 2
forced oursleves to wake up at 8....urgh and i told myself i can at last rest and slp till late late after all the early mornings during exams... but yea, we were greeted by the nice morning sun, the morning rustlings, the morning market.... hey!! morning market! when was the last time i've seen a morning market along the streets! cool! ppl peddling by the roadside.. uncles on their tricycles selling soy bean milk, some indian uncle selling roti canai.. got one even surrounding by uncles and aunties sitting at the stall eating porridge...hehe...how cool is that??

the buzzling morning market!

like those japanese ramen stalls hor? ppl juz eat there while the auntie prepares..(porridge?)

we shall not lose our focus.. Hong Kong style Dimsum! do u know that Penang is largely populated by hokkiens? (and did u know that penang is actually an island?? yea i did mention the 14 km bridge...) and they sells hk dimsum in hokkien lehz...hehe.. RM$21 for breakfast... the chinese tea wasn't that good thou....melaka still better...

this is juz our 1st order....

next! rush back hotel to shit....morning shit....

managed to find out how to go to this big big chinese temple, "Kek Lok Si" chinese called "Ji Le Si", literally means "Temple of Happines"(?) the impression of the place was that it's very much being exploited... a lot of beggers and "pasar malam" along the road up to the temple.... why din the temple do anything abt the beggers...? like...taking them in? giving them some errands to run...make themselves useful? anyway i bought this pearly pearly bracelet for my grandma...yan chosed it...it's supposed to bring health and all the things nice lah... ya she's better in such things....to buy old folks' favour....hehe... anyway my grandma absolutely loves it! (she wanted to hit my aunt when she teasingly wanted to removed it from her wrist) and i bought these golden tags/pendents for my family too... bohpi bohpi....

see the GuanYin statue there? it's big!!

lunch we had penang laksa and prawn mee.... wasn't that excellent... mayb its not the rite place to eat these things la...and wasn't very cheap neither... afterall it's a tourist attraction... lots of touting too... dun like...

next on the itinerary Penang Hill Railway tram..... we gave that up.....tired from so much walking le.... Penang ppl walk damn much! everywhere thewy say walkable de.....they say near, 5 min...but it's like damn 30 min and our destination's still not in sight... dun ever trust their judgement in time/dist next time u go ok....NEXT!

Gurney Drive is well-known for it's variety of good food and with pricely tags too....we've heard that they do tend to over-charge their customers, esp at nite... so we were very cautious.. asking for price b4 we actually order... wad was nice there...? hmm....nth much...we weren't in very appetising node lehz...and the food there....was juz ok lah....we had prawn mee (again coz i thought it's the one like we had in SG), chendul again and fried chicken skin with sotong....hehe...sinful stuffs...
oh yah... on our way to Gurney, we overslept and missed our stop! we din even realised it until yan decided to ask this little boy (i call him mr. chicken little coz he's like a slightly big-headed pri sch kid wearing glasses....u get the idea) when yan asked if we can juz drop from where we were then and cross the road to take bus back, he looked stunned..."no need la....u can juz walk!" =\

we spent the evening shoping in Gurney Plaza, oh this reminds me...we went to this 2-storey pet shophouse! the puppies that were cute! there's one....dunno wad breed....TzeTsu? very energetic running and hopping ard playing with me! ahah..... dogs love me.... got chased a few times i went cycling in fact... anyway.... bought a pair of leather shoes...RM$152... supposed to be quite cheap la...but im a poor student.... =(

we finally dragged our way back to the hotel.... tired from all the walking in the day.... planned to bathe and rest for a while b4 going down for some fruit juice by the side of the road....but we overslept... till morning came....

end of day 2

back from penang!

was indeed devastated by my very last paper...essentially half of it was crapped thru! brooded over it for some time... even had McDonald's with the sbs girls in attempt to cheer myself up with fast food...well...it juz got worse...with all 5 of us hanging onto the possibility of failing that subj... but eventually i got over it, especially after i boarded my nite bus to Penang that very nite!!

it was a torturous 10 hr bus ride man.. wanted to get some sleep after much lack of sleep over the 1 mth of exams... did finally fell aslp but was woken up by the bloody music blasting from the stop-over food centre... eventually did manage to get abt 4 hours of slp b4 we reach Butterworth.. another 14km over the famous Penang Bridge, and we're there..

Day 1
it was the wrong terminal!! NOT the one we expected to find ourselves to be at! apparently they've moved most of the long-distance buses to this newer bus terminal... there's a chinese saying "lu4 zai4 jui3 bian1" literally means that the road is juz beside ur mouth.... juz ask lor! hehe....we managed to find out how to get to Komtar with juz RM$1 per person! forget abt RM$20 for cab lah...

next, our 1st choice of accomodation: Swiss Hotel..... SUX!! forgot why leh...but it juz suck! think it look quite torn down ah...or sth like tat...

next down (across) the road, "E&A Hotel"
"Eh...does this look like a chicken house...?" yan asked
yes inded it looked like one.... with slim slim aunties walking ard...and old old ah bei sitting by and topless guys walking ard and no one attending to us.... NeXt!!

"Olivia" (i think...) hmm....the nice angmo atmosphere... bread aroma in the air.... but it's all full...too bad... tough luck!
"oh, u can try the one that's 4 shophouses down this side of the road", the nice auntie of Olivia told us...

and yes, a nice clean guesthouse with a tint of backpackers' attitude... having a common batheroom and lavatory... best of all....it's darn clean! "Crystal Hotel's" the name... the bedsheet smells new too! apparently they've juz opened not too long ago....juz a few months in fact...and we managed to find out from the managment uncle quite a few places to eat all the local foodfares and of course the all-famous penang laksa and chendul (yes it's called chendul there)!! lunch was settled at this chicken rice stall near 7-eleven, the soup there is simply the best.. i won't say it's the best chicken rice i've had (Meleka still wins), but it's good enough, above average.

the rest of the day was juz walking ard, getting familiar with the area and shopping... ooh i got myself 2 polo tee for RM66 and a haircut for RM$15... then wad else did we do next...? i forgot... ok fast fwd... know wad...? the buzzling nite foodstreet is juz outside our guesthouse! had curry noodles and wanton mee... the curry noodle nice lehz...at 1st i tot nth much of it...juz curry mee wad... but when it was served....fwaaah... got cockles and sambal shrimp paste de lehz... and somehow, it's juz nice.... the wanton mee also...the wanton very tender and fresh...... mee very "Q"! got the smell of sesame de.... ok tat's supper! eh? wad abt dinner...? wad did we haf huh.....? urgh! i can't remember!

roadside stall juz outside our guesthouse

we had these for supper!

end of Day 1.

it sux to be poor...

being a student is the poorest time in my life.... i've nv felt to pathetic before...
so restricted by my purse strings... so many things i want to get... but cant.... though they're realli not NEEDS... and im not those who spend on impulse.... i've given my serious thoughts into things i buy.... but still... mayb i shall stop habouring desires like these and juz accept the fact that im a poor student...

perhaps i've grumbled on this b4....cant realli remember but i think i've said b4... that u can say tt i can choose to work parttime if i wan...but i chose not to... haf some reasons/excuses.... not enough time... blah blah... mayb u can juz say tat i need to arrange my time properly.... sometimes it's realli not up to me to choose to say i want to focus or what...

how i wish FYP ppl can pay me...

counting....

depressing.... =(

2 punks

sat nite i met up with yan at her place after dinner at my place...ie, separate dinner... we went dog-walking la... the 2 sisters were so damn lazy that they haben had dinner the time i went over....and it was alreay 10pm!

went to Mac to buy filler meal for the sister and suddenly yan say she feels hungry too... and with that doe-ey eyes of her, which din work very well on me, she "hinted" me to buy kuay-tiao soup for her while she stay outside with the dog.

2 kiddish punks were standing beside me ordering food from another stall.. they were toying with a aluminium fork, poking it into a crevice and bending it... next one of them took it out and tossed it onto the platform which ppl put their trays on... and it slided...slided... frictionlessly... across the whole platform... and down....to the side of my left feet...

all this while i had my eyes on them, but i was expressionless.... juz expressionless... moments later...i saw the boy who tossed that fork, came over to me.... say "sorry".... it was hardly a whisper....i smiled back... those pi siao rou bu siao kind....

hmm...i got look so fierce mehz... i din even frown or wad...juz a blank look at them and at the fork when it fell only.... told yan abt it and she had a good laugh... then she gave me a hug....(?)

hmm...girls do like bad boy huh.... even thou they juz look bad... or fierce... with inside all nice and fluffy...

im snappin....

yes im snapping... soon....
been rather uptight and tense mentally these days...
not sure if it's coz' of the presentations running concurrent with exam preparations..plus i dun haf much time to prepare...

but... im rather irritable....

small things bothers me...
im critical....
i eat a lot....
i try to study a lot...
i try to do things early....

i only got 1 mind which i can't split tasks with....
i only got 2 arms...
and few hours of slp every nite.....

but im not at the edge yet.... far from it still.... im stronger than this....

oops!!

kaoz! so near exam le... it crept up on me without me knowing till i jio fren go cruise! haha! wad irony..... 3weeks! 2 weekends!


"Dear Juzride,

You should look at test or quizzes from another perspective.

They help you revise for the exam.

As for too many assignments and presentations, I should stress that all of you are in your honours year. A fourth year honours student should handle the pressure as such better than just a third year student.

Regards"

wad kind of anser is that..... this email was in reply to my question on CA pt allocation....he din ans me.... this sux....


Dear Dr XXX,

It has been intriging to recount on the number of presentations and assignments we've done in BS408; and further, the upcoming quiz.
If all these are to be accounted into our CA, as 30%, then won't each piece be occupying very low percentage?
Moreover with exam just in a month's time, we are (ok i am) quite concern that we are (i am) not able to spend enough time for our revision (considering that many of us still have other presentations in other modules lining up in the coming weeks).

Actually I understand that the presentation and quiz will still be carried out no matter what. However Im just expressing my concern.


Regards,
Juzride"

yah, with so many presentations preparations and assignments, we hardly haf any time to revise.... but.... i know i can do it de!! i can!! (i hope i can.....)
