Of Love and Extemp. Dispensing. XP

ok... this is going to be very random again...
i just got back from training and had a light breakfast...
training is always a bit stressful for me...
i mean... it's like i wanna do better... i wanna run faster...
but i just cant... *sigh*
and while having breakfast... i was browsing through my email...
and i came across this very very sweet and cute email...
i think most of you might have read it before...
its a forwarded email titled "What is Love?"
so well... what is love for you? how do you define love?
i was amazed and awed by the answers given by a group of 4-8 year olds...
i cant help but smiled and giggled every now and then when i was reading...
their answers were simple... yet it carries a lot behind every word...
words... gestures... and even a little something you do for someone can be defined as love to them... but to us... we have to think hard how to define love when the question is thrown at us...
love... it's simple... it's sweet... it can make you smile... it is to give and not expect returns... : )

oh... actually... extemp. dispensing isnt that bad...
in fact it can be pretty fun and interesting...
just that... i think i am super clumsy during extemp...
my calamine lotion was a total disaster...
not because i didn't disperse the particles...
its beacuse...
i DIDN'T exactly manage to fill in all my product INTO THE BOTTLE...
i got calamine on my hands... on the table... around the mortar... on the pestle... on the sides of the bottle... everywhere... *so messy* i think i'll get 0 for housekeeping if that was an exam...
thanks to the FUNNEL...
note: i thought i need the funnel to pour... but actually... there is no need for that... KILL ME!!

ok... i think i better stop here and get to natural products... otherwise this post will be more and more random... and i'll never be able to finish studying natural products... =.=

p/s: happy birhday in advance chin soon... things have been tough for you but hang in there k? i know you can get through it... remember that we are always around... : )

This is NOT an emo post... XD

Do you have a song which reminds you of a lot of stuffs and when you hear it on the radio you get all so psyched up at first then calmed down to listen to the lyrics as it plays and perhaps sing along and just let your thoughts wander?
well.. for these 2 days... there's this song...
i've heard the song before but i've never really paid much attention to the lyrics...
until... i saw the lyrics posted on a blog...
and yesterday... at the library... joni wanted me to listen to the song and when i did...
this time listening to the lyrics...
i surprised myself by how my emotions overwhelmed me...
i got swept away by how i felt and was lost for a moment...
and since then the song has been stuck to my head...
and call me freaky... but i was humming the song all day...
then today... just now at the gym... suddenly... the song was played over the radio...
my first reaction was "OMG..." and then i went to turn on the volume...
then i stoned while i hummed along... but this time i am a lot calmer... : )

Do you have a certain phrase that you would like to hear so much when you are down and lost?
well... i have one that i call the magic phrase...
and whenever somebody says that to me... no matter how insecure i feel or how down i am...
i will feel a lot better...
seriously...
Joni... if you are reading this... i bet you think that i am wierd...
but that's true... cause it always work...
until now... : )
i was pretty worried about my EOS results last semester...
and a friend said the magic phrase prior to the release of my results...
which reduced half of my anxiety level... and made me felt so relieved...
thank you for that... : )
what's the magic phrase?
sorry peeps... it's a secret to be kept to myself... ;p

p/s: this is not an emo post ok?? just something to share... and just wondering if you feel the same... : )

A Surprise.

How time flies... one week is gone... just like that...

which reminds me that i am now nearer to NATURAL PRODUCTS CLASS TESTS...

these days... i just cannot understand why am i so tired...

i get ample sleep... about 6 hours of sleep... and yet i still don't feel refreshed when i wake up in the morning...

i still cannot concentrate and pay attention in lectures...

i am just TIRED for no reason AT ALL... WHY??

well... this is what happened on monday...

drug met was the first class test that we have in sem 3...

and i guess most of us were defeated... : ( sad case.

but something was very wierd...

that day during practical everyone seemed to be very happy...

pang tsen seemed extra happy... even before the practical started this was what he kept repeating "i think our product will be nice.."

hahaz~ my benchmates and i have no idea why is he so happy that day...

and halfway through practical we started discussing where to go after lessons...

pasar malam kah? red box kah? shopping kah? macam macam... =.=

all these seem so wierd to me... i mean... i always see b107 as a studious bunch...

since when people start to not care about the upcoming class tests...

then... suddenly... out of nowhere... this bomb was dropped...

"the workshop for tomorrow's CAL on Pharm Anal. contributes 10 marks..."

and every single plan that was discussed earlier on was CANCELED...

what's left is only CHROMATOGRAPHY, HPLC, TLC, GC.... =.=''

and then... it was a night full of obstacles...

OBSTACLE 1

that evening... most of b107 turned up and watch a game of basketball between Pharm A and m108...

and then... after the game... joni and i realised that it was a good opportunity to leave the pressies at david's and kp's place since they're still watching the game...

so we asked andrew and mogan to hold them back while we ran all the way back and was about to head out when i called chun wei and asked if they had locked their rooms...

and unfortunately... YES!!!

so... we had no choice but to forget about the stupid plan... : (

OBSTACLE 2

since plan A can't work... we started working out plan B...

which included a surprise for them...

so we cracked our heads just to try to think of the best way to surprise them...

we thought off apples... cakes... egg tarts... oreo biscuits... and a lot of funny stuffs...

just to try and make the connection to them...

apples cause kp is known as apple face... egg tarts cause i once bought egg tarts for them... and they liked it...

and then... we just can't think of what david really like!!!

so finally... we agreed on lighting candles on apples and arranging them in words for kp... and egg tarts for david with the tarts that spells "MAN"... hahaz~

and it was decided to be done at the pool side of vista c...

but... there was no transport to go sri petaling to shop for goods... : (

fortunately... yue keng suddenly popped into my room and said he is going to sri petaling for dinner...

instantly... joni and i smiled... ;p

thank you so much yue keng... : )

OBSTACLE 3

when we got to sri petaling...

it was already 10 something... which means all the bakery and shops are closed...

which means no apples and no egg tarts...

DISASTROUS!!! : ( all we can get were lanterns....

then luckily... ling wei got the cake already... so not too bad... we still have a cake...

and we were thinking of hanging the lanterns at the poolside...

OBSTACLE 4

then after dinner... we head back...

arranging everything through the phone with another party is so difficult...

so once we reached vista... i met ling wei to straighthen everything out...

so once settled... i headed back home to grab some stuff, met joni and headed to vista C...

we went to collect the cake then headed to the pool side...

BUT... raindrops started falling... and the vista management people are having a meeting there...

so... we have no choice but to cancel all our initial plannings...

OBSTACLE 5

we changed the venue to kp's place... and so joni and i headed there and started preparing...

we had no idea what to do initially...

then joni suggested we hang the lanterns on the wall since there are little hooks stuck to the wall...

so happily we light up the lanterns and hanged them on the PLASTIC hangers before hanging them on hooks...

it was so damn hot... cause we cannot switch on the fans...

and to our horror... about 5 minutes later... the PLASTIC hanger started melting... =.=

so change of plans... we tried arranging the lanterns in the numbers 21 to signify their 21st birthday on the floor...

test run once... and they are already at the door...

so chun wei... put on his lab coat and the cap they gave us for extempo...

held the cake and led us all, crowded in the small apartment to sing happy birthday...

what was the guys' reaction... hmmm... ask them... ;p

seriously though... i'm just glad that it worked out ok... : )

and to kp and david... hope you guys like both the celebration and the presents...

happy 21st~

p/s: too bad i didn't take a photo of the presents... : (

To a dear friend... : )

When i think back of my days in form 5...
when i see a math question...
when i see a chemical equation...
when i see anything related to physics
the first person that comes into my mind will be none other than teoh yu xuan...
one of my besties...

i remembered... how you helped me through all my add math problems...
i remembered... how you spent so much time just to explain some very simple physics principle to me...
i remembered... how you are always patient with me when i cannot get what you are explaining...
i remembered... all the times when you offered to go through things with me before spm just so i can get a better understanding...
i remembered... how you used to drop by my place to help me with equilibria during my a levels days...
i remembered... how you used to tell me about your dreams and ambitions...
i remembered... how you try to make me understand the wonders of business and how profits can be made out of nothing...
i remembered... how you always call and make sure that i am alright and not stress out before exams...
i remembered... how you manage to get me something as a souvenir when you go overseas...
i remembered... how you always force yourself to fetch me just so we can go out and have a drink...
i remembered... how you always drop by my place when you are nearby...
i remembered... how you always call me just to say hi... even when the phone bills are so expensive and even when you are overseas...

to you... yu xuan..
i appreciate everything that you have done...
you're leaving for hong kong tomorrow...
i'm sorry i cannot be there to see you off...
i'm sorry i cannot even say farewell to you personally...
and i'm sorry i havent been able to talk to you properly these days...
but no matter what... our memories will stay...
take care when you are in hong kong...
i'll always remember that you promise to invite me to your convo... : )
see you soon...
as quoted by wei shang...
"see you soon is better than farewell.."

basketball. life. home. appreciate. chong wei. drug met. HOW RANDOM!!

2 days in a row... more than 2 person asked me to update my blog...
apala... macam my blog so dead...
only about one week didn't update... kena tembak... =.=
well.. perhaps there's too much random stuffs going on in my head lately to the extent that i don't know where to start blogging...
i've been stoning and daydreaming a lot... i don't have a good explanation of what leads to that but it just happens... i stone... and my mind just drifts off...
in lectures... while having lunch... when i'm talking to people... when i'm staring blankly at my notes... all the time... even now when i am writing this...

Went and watch the basketball match between pharm A and m207 on monday...
pang tsen... u did a good job... : )
we stayed on and watch the following match between pharm B and some medic batch...
and i saw alex hurt himself by banging his head onto the post... omg... i think it hurts A LOT... 7 stitches wei... hope he is ok now...

an incident that happened lately reminded me yet again that life is fragile...
it brought back memories of my grandpa who left us one year ago... i miss him...
and suddenly i felt the urge to go home... to be back in penang with my family...
to hear my mum nag me non stop... to hear my dad call "wan ling" in the nicest tone ever... which is so special and unique that no matter how hard my friends try to imitate they always fail.. : ) and my bro... i miss messing around with him...
watching badminton and football without him is so so different...

and again i am reminded that i should always appreciate and cherish whatever others have done for me...
it may be something small... a word of concern... a warm message... a nice gesture... or just being sensitive...
i appreciate it...
thank you.. : )

And... i'm so happy that chong wei is in the finals... i think i practically screamed when he won lee hyun il... XD
it's always a wonder to my friends... especially my girl friends... that how whether he wins or loses a match will affect my mood... funny rite?? i myself cannot comprehend that either...

drug met. class test is tomorrow but i'm still chilling when i actually haven't even grasp the basic knowledge of the mechanism... how sucky is that? haiz... slap me... and make me concentrate...
till the next post... cya.. going back to drug met now... : (

p/s: kp, may your finger be better soon...
ah beh happy birthday in advance... : )
b107... all d best for drug met. : )

You'd never guess what we did... XD

After having david asked for the fourth time...
and andrew trying so hard to guess...
and ai xin asking...
i've decided to blog about WHAT WE DID THAT YOU'D NEVER GUESS... *winks*
so david... read carefully... hahaz~

so... i went to klcc in the morning yesterday to meet up with my bro for lunch...
its his birthday today... happy birthday han : )
And i met some juniors at the lrt station heading to the pc fair...
so... we sort of went to klcc together...
you'd never guess how packed the putra train was... =.=
after meeting my bro... i headed back...
and headed out again to times square with pei ching and joni...
joni was suppose to meet her friends... pei ching shop... and i was on a mission... hehe~
anyway... all those wasnt the main reason i blogged...
hahaz~ but it's to make david more anxious... ;p

well... after coming back from times square...
joni and i were actually worn out...
but pei ching being the usual her... was still so energetic... : )
she happily tried on the garments that she bought and showed us...
and she bought this cheap dark pink dress... which looks nice on her...
and i suddenly thought of a dress that i bought one week ago...
i don't know what triggered me and joni to suggest doing the following... but that was what we did...
first... i suggested we all put on dresses just FOR FUN...
i though joni would object... but she didn't... hahaz~
then when we were done...
i think pei ching suggested we take a photo as a remembrance...
and i was like... "ok... then i have something to blog about..."
and here comes joni...
"i think we should go take outside... with the light and all... it'll be nicer...."
when we were outside in the hall...
pei ching: "i think we should put on shoes!!!" =.="
mind you... it was 12.30am that time...
then... the game started... the vain us...
CAMWHORE... with all kinds of different poses...
with pei ching being the choreographer... telling us how to pose...
the camera set to click with the timer...

while everyone else was busy doing portfolio and pbls...
we are doing this.... hahahahhaz~

and we ended up in a fit of giggles after half an hour... like this.... ;p

So tell me... are we carazeeee or what?? Find me a term to define us... ;p

p/s: these are only 10% of what we took... O.O

Committee Dinner

Part of the committee... I don't know where the others went...

Yesterday we finally had our committee dinner after the orientation...
But sad to say... not all can turn up for the thing... : (
things would have been merrier with them around...
so... we went to this place in mid valley which offers chicken buffet...
at first... it was eating and "soft" discussions...
then... the volume got a bit louder...
and in the end... whoa... its like the whole place was ours after someone started the "games"...
then some of us had a movie to watch at 9.15pm...
so releunctantly we said goodbye and RUSHED towards the cinema...
cause we were actually late...
the movie was an okok one... not to mention that some parts which were supposed to look "wow" had me laughing... hehe~
After the movie... we headed to catch the last lrt back to vista...
and... we met a bunch of juniors with ellen and bee chyi... : )
We then had another round of laughter from the station... into the train... and back to vista...
well... what can i say?
it has been a real great dinner + movie + games + chatting session...
hope there will be more...
instead of just burrying ourselves in portfolios... pbls... lab reports and lecture notes...
And to my batchmates... thank you for painting part of my imu life... : )

Michelle and Khai Xhuen... We're doing reports...
