Snoopy Snoop

Hehz, on this sleepy lazy afternoon got nothing better to do (yeah right! 4 reports waiting for me to do!!!) haha... So I shall post some cute snoopy(s) here... I think of the reports already headache... Think of the time back to UTP is coming soon even more headache... Argghhh.. Kays, lets focus on snoopy here. Actually I'm not a fan of snoopy or something, not to say I hate it or what.

My favorite cartoon would be Tom and Jerry, which was my childhood cartoon everyday after school. Haha, it's witty, funny... Well, that's what I had thought then. When I grew up and I had 'real live' Tom and Jerry a.k.a my bro and my sis, *gosh* you'd want to faint and stay dead whenever they are squabbling. It's like the WW3. Sometimes I feel so failed as an elder sister, cause I think I lack the wisdom to 'lead' them to be good towards each other. And yeah, when they are biting each others head off, you've got to be fair and wise (stick the long white beard on my chin) and deal the matter without causing further disputes.

Anyway here are the snoopy some people send some time back. Let's cool on some snoopy...

Confiding before a Stranger

Okay, I shall continue harping on the *arrrghhh* exam. Heh... First the exam unit called me one hour before to ask me go 30 minutes earlier than the time but I didn't get the call cause my handphone was lying somewhere else...

Then while I was steering my car with the herdes of cars in the jam, I saw the *argghh* call. I called back and then she told me the message. Huh... I wished my car could spread wings and fly over the jam but it did not. So when I parked there, and saw the *arghhh* saman guy I saw this morning, I *arghh* cause I used the last coupon this morning. Then I digged into the mini bin and dashboard and found two pathetic ham-choi like but unused coupons. I didn't have time to poke the holes, so I clipped it on my windscreen under my wipers.

I practically ran there, panting heavily, and was escorted into the exam room just in time. Maybe my out-of-breath-look scared the examiner so she decided to take a drink break to let me breath properly. Haha...

The Topics: First was Newspaper, then Numbers, then Future. Okay, I think I got totally the easiest topics. I mean at least they don't need some kind high intellectual brain to talk about. So I just kept talking until she shut me up. Until the last question of the last topic. She was asking "Why are people optimistic about their future?" I was like huh... Okay I have some answers, but I have used them for the questions before in the same topic and I like to give variety and 'trick' her into thinking I'm quick thinking and confident. But well... We'll see when the results are out.

But what I realized after the thing was that in my haste to speak without letting her scrutinize my ih... ah... er... and brain block, I had poured totally what is deepest in my heart (on Future topic) that I would have never even told Myemma. Haha... well, I guess I kind of find it easier telling a stranger who totally has no idea who I am and I will never be meeting again my deepest secret. And let's hope the statement stays true...

*Tip to ppl who don't know. If you want to save time (or coupon if you're not sure of how long you'll be gone), just leave new coupons, and the people will kindly do their job for you.

The Exam

I couldn't fall asleep last night. I was too excited. Sheesh! Haha... I woke up at 6:40am! Imagine my excitement...

Anyway I drove to behind Upwell and waited for Myemma till 8:30am! I was suppose to report at 8:30am. Guess she thought I lacked the oomph for exam thrill. She jumped out of her car, and then ducked in again shouting something like "Parking coupon!". I forgot too so I grabbed the last and only purple color coupun poked the holes and threw it on the dashboard. Purple... I should be safe for at least an hour since I can only remember the green coupon is for 30 minutes parking.

We walked, or rather jogged there, the 'troupe' had left for examination room somehwere out there so we scouted our way there. We barged into some private office where a lady smillingly told us the exam room is one level above. We must be about the n-th person walking into her office. Haha...

The first 30 minutes section I kept yawning and missed some of the one-time-no-repeat tape listening. It's pretty easy, so I eenie-minnie-manie-moe the answers. There was one regarding the credit allowed though that I missed. Well I put down 2k, let's keep our fingers and toes crossed.

Then the reading part. I thought I was going to fall asleep reading the passages. But I really respect the person who actually wrote it. Hah! Being the lazy me, I read the questions first and scan for answers. You expect me to read whole dead boring thing meh? By the time I do, the only answer I'd be able to give is Z (real answers in multiple choice and true/false/not given form).

By the end of the second test, I was starting to hope for it to end soon. I felt like I was sitting for a whole semester of exam. Haha... Okay, it's not that bad. It's just so boring, my mind kept wandering off.

2 essays in 60 minutes. Piece of cake. Except I haven't been exactly attentive to pollution of late. Then in the second essay I have to condemn computer and Internet. Gosh, it would have been infinite times easier if it were the other way round. So I scrawled my really horrible handwritting on. We were not allowed our own stationery. I had to use the pen they provided and it was FAT. FYI, I can't write well with FAT pens and FAT tips too. So my handwritting looked like someone writing his/her will during war. My usual pen is the papermate X-Fine tip. Nevertheless, I wrote away as there was no time to be wasted. The FAT pen kept slipping from my grip and my hand was aching as it was FAT. Hmmmph...

I was the first to leave when they announced you may go now, and I found my car was awarded 7 samanssss plus the guy was still writing an extra one. Grrrr..... Okayla, my oral is at 2:20pm. Need to leave now cause on my way back the jam looks terrifying. Wish me luck! :D

Home Sweet Home

I'm blogging from home. Surprise, surprise. At this time too huh. Well, not too surprise cause first I'm on leave, secondly the telephone line is FINALLY here. Thanks to Carrot's mum...

I'm suppose to go to Civic centre library to find some related books, but well no one picked up the phone so called the State library at the other end of the world. And that huge gigantic hotel-like library has 2 pathetic books on it, one checked out and one safely at the shelf. So I'm heading there to do some 12-hours-before studying.

Urghh, nothing much to say. Got to go cause I'm feeling dizzy staring at the piles of papers and booklets on my desk. Better finish the craps off. Not to mention the lagging weekly reports. I hope my memory can rewind to about 3 weeks ago. *Hmmph... See ya.

State Election

Thanks to staring at the monitor for as long as I am awake, I begin to see it even with my eyes close. Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Plus, my dogs were having fun playing catch among themselves. I'm a very light sleeper thus the slightest noise disrupts my sleep. And then, I even thought I heard someone stapling away in the night....? Hmmmph... God knows what time I actually fell asleep but the last time I checked my handphone time was 1 or 2 am.

I'm really putting aside my blog nowadays as the things I have in my hands are more than enough to occupy my time. But if I didn't blog today, it may stay dead for the whole week... Tomorrow I'm taking leave, Thursday too...

Am I nervous to take the test? I'm not sure... Yet I do not know what I need to do to prepare for it. I have no books whatsoever just 2 sheets of notes that looked pretty boring to me. Well, let's hope luck is on my side and I'd better ace it otherwise...

Sarawak state election is over. I'm actually already legal to vote but they said that since I only registered this time, my vote will only be counted next election. Politics, I'm not exactly very interested in it. But well, I heard from most grown ups (as in those older than me) say that this time though BN still won, but the opposition too won quite a number of seats. Maybe it's time the government treat us better ALL the time, instead of 'bribing' us during election periods into voting for them. People are begining to awake and it seems that Sarawak is heading towards the opposition (DAP) direction. Who can blame them? The government doesn’t need an emergency meeting discussing what went wrong for them to lose so many seats. The fact is right in front of them. But I also foresee the opposition will never win outright of BN if they never combine the ethnic oriented oppositions into one strong one to represent Sarawak and NOT Malaysia. Siapa yang maken cili, dia yang rasa pedas, so I'd not bother to comment on what we were forfeit of from the current government. But my bottom line is, whoever wins the thing, I'm not so bothered, but please don't let Keadilan take over. You may not love the government but there are many more parties, don't blindly vote. Keadilan's state sample like Kelantan is definitely not somewhere I look forward to live in. Otherwise, I still continue to appreciate whoever governing, because, we do live in a peaceful homeland afterall. And for that, we should remember to thank them in our prayers every night.

For anyone interested, the full election result can be obtained here.

Craps...

Let's see... Been pretty sian lately cause there's nothing besides work. Nothing much to talk about. In fact next week I'm taking few days off to deal with few matters. Now you'd appreciate the student life huh? I mean the schedule is so flexible you can 'arrange' your slots in between. Working life? Anything personal you need to deal within office hours, you have to resort to taking leave. Hmmph... Why can't our government have the work 4 days a week policy by taking turns. At least that's what they are doing in Australia (heard from my aunt). I mean at least I would have one non-weekend-day to do anything I need to get done during office hours.

Lately don't know got bitten by what, I've got swells everywhere. Got this anti-itch-pill from the doc and cream that I'm supposed to put on twice a day. That's quite impossible. How would I look like if I go to work with cream all over? Plus, all the cleanroom apparel would smudge away the cream soon enough. So I apply it only everynight when I go to sleep and it too get smudge away by bedsheets and blankets unless I sleep in a very awkward posture, which I can totally not fall asleep in. The only limb that is spared is my left hand. Not a dot. Maybe that's why it's healing so slowly.

Oh right, and I had the weirdest dream ever last night. I finished setting two sets of QRA test papers yesterday evening. *Phew* Now you’ve got to look up to teachers for setting test papers. It’s about like the hardest task ever. And even more so that I have to set 2 sets of different papers for the same scope cause I seem to run out of what to be asked. Taking the time limit, marks percentage etc into concern. Cannot be too easy, cannot be too hard… What a dreadful task. Never be a teacher. Then, I dreamt that all the staff taking the test were cursing me cause the test was too hard! Gosh… YY was the invigilator but she made it obvious to them that I was the one setting the Questions. It was a nightmare where everyone was aiming me with their sharpened 2B pencils. Haha... What a weird dream! Luckily I woke up before being ‘killed’.

Lately in this lab, ED puts on the song (radio station). Mainly cause here there’s no camera etc. It can be more strict or more lenient in different aspects. Explain another time. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that the station (I’m not sure which but it’s a Chinese station) he listens to is promoting this really nice hymns. I think it’s Christian church thing, but I can’t help feeling that it just sounds heavenly. But since I don’t really understand what the person is saying I don’t know if it’s available in CDs in Speedy or what. It’s just the kind of music that soothes you down.

Eh, I thought I had nothing much to say. Haha… Kays, waiting for lunch time to fly home… :)

Cool Mice!

Some really cool 'mice' we have here... I like this fishbone the most. Haha... reminds me of my roomate aka lou ma zi. :P

This one also quite nice. Though I wonder if it's comfortable to grip for long hours...

This one, em sai kong, for (certain) ladies who can never have enough of mirrors and make up.

快乐天堂 ~ Happy Heaven

This is my favourite kids song. Don’t know, it just soothes me… :)

快乐天堂
Happy Heaven

大象长长的鼻子正昂扬
全世界都举起了希望
孔雀旋转着碧丽辉煌
没有人能够永远沮丧

河马张开口吞掉了水草
烦恼都装进它的大肚量
老鹰带领着我们飞翔
更高更远更需要梦想

告诉你一个神秘的地方
一个孩子们的快乐天堂
跟人间一样的忙碌扰攘
有哭有笑当然也会有悲伤
我们拥有同样的阳光

Jumbled

The absence, was it being too busy or being too free? Sometimes when I am so busy, I tend to ask myself what is this, that and all the ‘busy’ for? For the three meals a day? No, any other simpler jobs would have given me a satisfactory three meals. Then for the higher pay? True, any other jobs would have given me a satisfactory three meals but I wouldn’t have the extra to do what I want. But what other extras do I want? Oh I know. I have a habit. A BAD habit I would say. I collect stuff. *cough* Okay, I collect expensive stuff. Hmm, it’s not that expensive in my opinion. Like RM100-RM500 a set/ a piece. Like when I was a fan of Swatch some time ago, I had wanted to collect them then. But so far I have only three. Haha… cause my ‘obsession’ for it wore off. I think it is normal. At least I am not collecting cars. That’d be a bit ‘over’ for my financial status. So currently I’m collecting erm… something which also cost RM100-RM300 a set. But then they are so expensive, so I decided to get the 2nd hands and only collect the brand new collection when I start working.

Then, why I am in university? I don’t know why, education doesn’t seem very important to me. But it sure is for society nowadays. Is that why I am in tertiary studies? So much for saying I don’t flow with the crowd, its easier said than done huh? *Sigh* Luckily I’m already in, if not I doubt that I’d make another same choice. Haha… Yet if I’m not busy, what do I seek for? I don’t even know what I want. It feels very meaningless to be busy and striving everyday and not know where you want to head. But at the times when I let everything go and be ‘free’ I also ask myself, “What now?” Yeah, what now? So I’m free, so what do I REALLY want to do? But I still can’t do it. Because when I ‘free’ myself, I am still actually ‘tied’. I can never be totally free.

Actually, when I blank everyone else, and I mean everyone else, out of my world, I ask myself what is if that I want? I have the clear picture; the simple, crystal-clear answer. But in reality, I can never achieve that as no man is an island. I can never be really without those intervening people. Without them, I wouldn’t be here too. *Sigh* such a dilemma. I don’t know why, I seem to find days becoming more and more meaningless. Maybe because I am totally sure I can never achieve what some other people expect of me. And after about two decades, I am decay from striving to achieve (what a naïve me) what certain people expect, to just fulfilling whatever those certain people request. I lost the initiative and spirit to strive since their satisfaction limit is never achievable. And now …gradually perishing into a nonchalant leave-me-alone.

I am tired of doing what SHOULD be done, instead of what I want to do. But then clearly understanding that the ‘dream’ is now even more distant to me than ever, I am back to where I had paused to brood, I am back... to be the puppet… whatever that I SHOULD be.

p/s: the dis-orderly of this post shows how messed up my mind is. Pardon it :P

New office again

Thomas over and the results as expected... China won. Lazy go check what results la since not concerning Malaysian team anyway.

I am already in my new seat, in the lab. Actually, I'm suppose to 'move' yesterday, but don't know why YY say no need. But then HM told me to move but this week HM is on business trip. So I stayed up there but then my computer got disconnected from the network thus no internet. That's why I escaped here. I don't know to listen to YY or HM cause one say move one say don't, but since no internet, I'd rather move first loh, but don't know if YY will be unhappy about it. Anyway, I'm here already. Oh, this lab is very dry. I don't know what's wrong but just not used to it. Maybe cause too many equipments and ovens? Guess my body has to adjust to the low humidity...

There's more freedom here. :P Slept late last night cause was watching MTV Asia awards. Now brain blank but just to keep this blog going. Hmmm... Okays, later update after the brain block period over...
