Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia

Hari ini Hari Kemerdekaan ke-52 Malaysia. Oleh kerana saya berada di Singapura, hari ini bukannya hari cuti untuk saya. Memang membazirkan kerana hari ini hujan renyai-renyai sepanjang hari. Takkan baik kalau boleh tidur nyenyak kat rumah? ha..

Saya bertulis dalam Bahasa Melayu di sini untuk menunjukkan bahawa saya masih anak Malaysia (a-hem), dan saya masih ingatkan Rukun Negara (Maka kami, rakyat Malaysia...), Negaraku (tanah tumpahnya darahku..), dan lagu negeri Johor (Allah peliharakan Sultan..).

Pengsan. Semua di atas ini telah gunakan saya lebih kurang 40 minutes minit. Sekiranya ini ujian, dah mestilah fail. Nasib baiknya bukan. Eh, jangan ketawa lah k? Buat macam terharu sikit, muntah darah lar saya cuba type-kan yang kesemua ini..

okie, end of the seemingly alien Bahasa Melayu entry. heh. =D

I haven't been around for sometimes 'coz either the laptop or internet is screwed. Either way, things are solved.

I finally had some life (?) after each boring days of work. lolx. thanks to the lappie which dies off without warning some days ago.

1. Met up with za bo zfutijo* on Friday night. Looooooooong catch up, movie, etc. Too bad the night is too short *pout*. And i think we did a good job by running for the last bus, instead of taking cab after the movie. Heh. =)
Although it's freaking scary to walk alone on the street at night, especially on this period (see below).

2. Met up with tfmxjo*'s friend, bmfy*, who is a financial planner. I guess he will give up trying to clinch ANY deal with me after he knows how much i have to spend (on necessaries), and thus i have totally NO extra money for anymore insurance.
Well, i might consider investment. Not too long term. Not too risky. Is there any?

3. Met up with ybiybi*, my ex-roommate in Commonwealth, for her 3xth birthday. And she doesn't even look like in late 20s. I wana learn her tricks on keeping her youth. ha.
Oh, it was bloody hilarious when over the late buffet lunch, ybiybi* overheard the conversation of our neighboring table (they are Burmase), and how they gossip about us..
It's abit like when you are on train and overheard some aunties are talking about you in some rare dialect thinking that you won't know they are talking about you.
Stupid.

4. Met up with fmgjo* for.. just hanging around. Well, I'm suppose to treat him movie for his help on some lab purchasing stuff. Yea, suppose to, but didn't =( He insisted to pay. Not even AA. Pengz. I want to return favour sia..
Oh, probably by smuggling out the extra cooler pack for Western blot (during transfer) to him tomorrow if he dropped by the building I'm working. Will see how it goes.
Thanks for the night hanging out together. Sorry that I killed the cat. =S

5. In item #1, we watched Coco advant Chanel. I still likey Audrey Tautou after her Amelia.
Except it's in French and i totally don't understand anything and it's almost tooo tiring to catch the subtitles. Yea lar, i could have do without the subtitle (like just watch the scenes), but i want to know what the director/script writer is trying to express, like fully/totally.
Grab the chance while still can.
In item #4, we watched Moon, which is the winner of some awards. Well, totally one-man show. Remind me of how scientific knowledge will be exploit by people who is.. unethical. Who says clone is without feelings?
While i'm doing ES cells, this never come into my mind. Human clone? My foot.

6. I don't remember who told me the benefit of living at higher floor means less insect.
I beg to differ. Living in higher floor does mean less insect that CRAWL.
On the other hand, there are still those that fly. =S
Like a flying cockroach. Episode 2 in less than a month time.
Bloody hell, and this time round i waited for about 45 minutes and it showed NO intention of leaving the house. And my neighbor past by so he helped to -a-hem- killed it.
Aiyo, if he is 10 years younger, not bald, no too-big-the-belly, i might consider him lor.
okie, relax. i'm just kiddin.

7. It's not like i check the Chinese calendar so frequently.
But i was reminded that it's now the.. well, 7th month (the month with ......), on the FIRST day of the month. -.-"
Well, it was by seeing people start to burn offerings and stuff to the ....
Haiz. It's so damn scary lar (giving i'm living alone). It wasn't this bad when i was in Brisbane last year, and i have totally NO IDEA about it until the whole month is over.
It's the culture. Yes, culture.

8. Sorry to cfs*, jsfof* with the recent incident on you-know-what. If you are reading this and you know who you are, i hope you are coping well.
Buck up buck up! It's not the end of the world. Not quite yet.
Hope is still around the corner. You just need to make that turn. =)

Totally not related to this entry, my biological clock is screwed again, and it certainly reflects on my undereye. Gah, my youth is leaving me..

--entry finished at 1:30AM.

the night that was too exhausting

yes. and it's due to one bloody cockroach.

i should have started the powerpoint presentation on research updates wayyy before (anyway, it's over and my boss is happy with tht progress). then again, i'm always procrastinating for what-not reasons =S

anyway, back to the post - it was Tuesday night i'm talking about.

I WAITED PATIENTLY (at about 130am, for almost an hour) FOR A COCKROACH TO LEAVE MY TERRITORY. -pengz-

i didn't even notice when it flies in (yes it FLIES thus the horror). if i never diligently worked till that late, i might never encounter it. (although there IS chance that i'm still awake doing brainless stuff).

it could the worst of all since a junior roach that wont fly already freak me out to the max (the geli feeling), let alone something which flies (in a super fast way), big size (about 2 inches long?), and in the disgusting brownish color.

my first instinct is to grab slipper, and head over kitchen to find pesticide spray. alas, i can't find any at home. i would call my landlady if she keeps any pesticides at home if it was not after midnight. then i decided to open up ALL the windows and door (except my room), and hopefully the roach will 'find his way out'.

so there, i waited patiently for almost an hour (from far of coz) for the roach to find his way to his territory. i'm pretty sure he doesn't mean to invade mine (*pouts) so i decide to let him live.

(alright. truth is, i don't even to go near him coz i think he will crawl to me)

i told my colleague about the incident and she thinks it's a blessing in disguise that i don't have pesticides at home, since, according to her, pesticides spray makes the insect panic and run/fly for its life (or probably 'attck' you), and in the process, i will be the one running about!


p.s: did i mention i noticed this roach has really loooooooooong antenna? i think it's more than 10cm!
p.p.s: i noticed p.s above coz there were times i feel so damn hot and sweaty that i went switch on the fan and i guess the air current got something to do with its antenna so it starts to move around a little bit -.-"
p.p.p.s: i was thinking to myself while waiting- no one could come and rob me with door and windows wide open deep at night. i will practically ask anyone who walked by to help me with the roach lor. but well, it's late at night so there isn't anyone. haiz.
p.p.p.p.s: i bath again after the roach left. felt sweaty on top of maximum level of exhaustion.
p.p.p.p.p.s: my coll was saying roaches in Aussie moves slower (not sure if they fly too). then again, i've never seen roaches in Aussie. Spider, yea.
p.p.p.p.p.p.s: last p.s -- this explains why roaches are so.. eww.

long overdue

coz i wrote this and saved it and did not get to this publish this after endless attempts. refer to this.

thanks to tijsmfz*, i'm OT-ing at home with this--

i know it might sound a bit 老人家, but i like the feeling of calming and warming. okie, probably not the latter as singapore is already warm enough!
still, i like it. it's better to turn 'tea-olic' instead of alcoholic, no?

遠く離れても 明日が見えなくても
愛を止めないで
この海の果てはやがて青い空へ続いてる
ひとりじゃない
この胸に愛は生きてる

Mada, hitori desuyo.
Hitori jyanai? when will that be?

i almost teared when i read kfsbme*'s "Personal Conundrums..." on FB, which goes like this --
- To put out a fire when you are not willing to search for the source.
- To travel via coach when you've been flying for years.
- To break someone to pieces because YOU think it's the right thing to do.
- To forgive those who are unworthy of forgiving.
- To express sufficient gratitude to those who helped in different times of your life in different ways.
- To believe in god when you don't believe in the church.
- To identify the line not to cross in all your relationships.
- To stay healthy when you can't exercise properly in an environment of unhealthy choices of food.
- To keep your cool when deep inside you've already pictured how their guts look when you rip it out of 'em.
- To stay unchanged in different stages of your life.
*edited version: a few sentences that were '???' were removed and not included in this entry.

no fanciful must-flip-dictionary vocabularies. but there, it just touches me! probably because the kfsbme* i know for ages, together with zfohybj*, are well-known for their lamest jokes, that i always take HOURS to finish one meal if with them ('coz i can't stop giggling).
