This feels GREAT!

I know I am very guilty of not updating my blog frequently. This probably contradicts my earlier resolution that I have made for my readers and also for myself (wait a minute! Does anyone even read my blog?!). That aside, I'm here for another update. Well, probably it's just because I am downright bored. Was revising for my last paper and it got really boring. All I read was "annyeonghasaeyo".

The semester will officially end this Saturday, for me. And that will also mark the end of my 2nd year in university. Oh dear, how time flies (and how fast I age). I do feel like a prune and a raisin sometimes. Those really dry ones. The wrinkles and grooves on the surface are just like the crow's feet at the edge of my eye slits. In just two years, I felt like part of my life has just gone with the wind. Silly things have I done within the 2 years. Some things I won't be very proud of, some things that have taught me well and some things that made me proud.

Hmmm, let's start with the part that didn't really make me feel proud and it taught me something: I had a rough time in my relationship with Mum. Mum wasn't well the past two years and it affected her emotionally. So, she got emotional pretty easily. Me? Most people, or it's safe to say, everyone that knows me, claims that I am an aggressive person. So, with that, we are at loggerheads most of the time and argued quite frequently. But things got better, I learned to be more patient and Mum's condition got better. Doctors were able to treat the cause of the illness. What I am proud of throughout these two years in university? Hmmm. I would say and lay claim that I am, at heart, a pure nerd that is eccentric to a certain extent, say, doing strange things that make people go WTF?!. So, it's natural that I strive for the best and voila, for 3 out of the 4 semesters in the two-year duration, I managed to stay in the upper quartile of the bunch. First-class throughout the semester. The results for the 4th semester will be released a month or two from now, the exam season is still on.

Looking forward to a fruitful semester break. Anyone keen to meet up? :)

xo-s to all you readers.

Clean up!

Lately, I have got to know many people. Different people. Different personalities. The sudden surge in the number of people I know led me to think, who are real people and who are those that aren't really all out to be friends with you?

So today, I did another round of social clean-up. Especially on Facebook and my phone. Removing those who are on my list of people I know but never bothered to contact me at all. Some, who are really sensitive and somewhat shallow-minded, I chose to unsubscribe to their updates altogether. Although everything is pretty much virtual online, certain things can manifest themselves in reality. So I chose to remove these thorns in the bushes to make my life easier and better. Who needs people who are so sensitive that he has to personally notify me. Well, I may be a little silly, but to comment to such extent is a little over the top for me. Can't take a joke? Why not talk to a doll, they don't say stupid things.

People nowadays are so difficult to handle. Not only the ladies have PMS, guys do have them now, too. And the guys have heavier PMS than girls do, nowadays.

Cold treatment it is for these people. Okay, time for a nap! :)

Pissed. So bloody pissed.

So, it was yesterday (refer to the date of this post, minus one day) that we had our inorganic chemistry presentation. Well, in the beginning it felt quite cool and I was actually pretty enthusiastic over it. Thinking of what to say, what am I going to say on stage, how to engage with the audience and all that shit.

Okay. So the groups that will present are chosen at random. That wasn't so bad. What makes me boiling mad is that the groups couldn't even stick to presenting within ten minutes. It's just 10 bloody minutes. Some even ended up giving a lecture. At the end, the 3-hour presentation session had to be postponed to today. Even in two hours, we barely did 4 groups. What the hell, right? It's 30 minutes on average a group. 3 times more than the initial time limit. Two days in a row and I still haven't got to my turn. All these task backlogs really piss me off.

I really don't get it. It's okay if your presentation is more than 10 minutes long, as long as the presentation is interesting. Some presentations were repetitive, boring, the speakers were stuttering, some even forgotten what they want to say while some are just plainly reading from the slides. What, you think I can't read? What is worse of all, it's as if no one really cared about the time limit imposed. The reason it was imposed is so that everyone has a fair amount of time to complete their presentation. So my turn is thrown way back and I have listen to all that bullshit. I respect their work but come on, who is respecting me for handling all your bullshit. I tell my groupmates to keep it less than 2 minutes per person and a maximum of 3 minutes a person.

I really hate presentations now. Just give us an individual assignment for the love of mankind.

Shit happens when you are good. Not one shit will be given about your welfare.

Really?

You said you want me.
You don't even care to drop me just one text.
So there are other things way more important than me?
I'm not being clingy.
I'm being realistic.

Stupids at Bukit Ekspo.

Quite recently, I have started jogging again. Used to jog very frequently back in Form 4 and Form 5. Used to be slim fit. (or rather, so slim you could see some abs). Got into Form 6 and exercise took the back seat.

Now, I started feeling the oomph and the kick after having a good run. It's marvelous! The sweat and the pulse beating in your head. Ecstatic. Probably as good as an orgasm. So, Bukit Ekspo, my university's park, became one of my favourite haunts.

But what became really annoying was people who frequent Bukit Ekspo don't really know how to keep the place clean and they don't follow the rules. People just leave their trash everywhere and litter their non-biodegradable trash on the grass. It looks terrible. Awful. Disgusting. Assholes be like bringing food in plastic and polystyrene packaging, dating, having barbecues and what-not. And no conscience to even clean up. UPM assholes.

What's worse, no one ever follows the "No vehicles in the park" rule. Students (or rather, assholes) be driving on the paths meant for visitors to the park to jog, walk and cycle. These fools, ride their motorbikes and drive their cars on these paths. Not only does this damage the paths, it puts visitors at risk. I really wonder, why are UPM students so stupid and selfish. Come on, you're already on campus, is it so difficult to park your car outside and take a slow stroll to the park? Or you just want to show off that you have a ride? Show off somewhere else. Nobody wants to know if you have some lousy second-hand car to brag of. Parks are made for health purposes, not car showroom. Fools.

On the brighter side, I lost some inches on my waistline. Feeling as sexy as sexy. :)

Update, update!

It's been a few weeks since I last updated anything. Literally.

As of now, when I look up into the sky, I can't see any clouds. All I see is a large shadow, very large. Enough to blot out the glorious rays of the sun. I squint my eyes, trying hard to catch a glimpse of what this big and dark object is. Its presence is overwhelming, brimming with evil. A force that drowns you with hate and anger. Then, when I finally made out what this object was... Oh my, it's too late. Assignments! Oh, save me, my dear knight in shining armor! Save I, who is in distress. If only I was the one playing the damsel. I'd love to, by all means.

It has been two weeks since the mid-semester break ended and like many, we thought that our workload would decrease, since we spent our mid-semester break meddling with our assignments. Lo and behold, the truth be shown to us, this isn't such the case. In fact, our workload increased with time. Sad to say, it wasn't linear, in fact, the increase was exponential. All it takes is for the lecturer to get an epiphany, a "Oh dear, I should give you guys an assignment!" moment and that's it, part of our life is sucked out of us that instant. Not that it isn't good but having too many at once really is difficult and quite taxing on our health. Thankfully, I haven't fell sick until now. Only my bowel has been acting up lately. Farting like a cow lately. Of course, mild diarrhea ensues this terrifying journey of farting and assignments.

Above all, thankful that I am still alive and fighting hard with this foe of enormous power. How are you guys doing? Hope all is fine. Lots of love from me, the fighting damsel.

Chicken Wings.

Can you smell it? SMELL IT!

 Hmmm. Smell it? Oh yes, the smell of something good. Something pleasant. Something to soothe your senses and bring you to somewhere near paradise (no, I don't mean dying). And POOF.

Okay, so mid-term break has just started for me. And for most people, we are looking forward to chill and just a some time for oneself, after working so hard for half the semester. That was what we thought. Such innocent and blissful thinking. That was not what our beloved lecturers thought. They wanted us to feel the pain of not having a happy term break. So, they gave us plenty of assignments to complete during the break. Hmmm. Okay, maybe it's for our own good, but I am feeling very, very lazy to even move a finger (imagine the agony and pain I have to go through to post this). Hopefully, this term break will be quite an eventful one, even thought I do not plan to do anything but just laze around at home the whole day. Meow.

The bounty I got from the hunt at Big Bad Wolf books sales. Nice!

The very tiring process of preparing chemical salts. Aigoo. D:

Spectrochemistry is only interesting because of colours. Nothing else.

Yes, this is the real spectrochemistry. See, no colours!
