Additional Tagboard
You may notice the additional tagboard on my sidebar, just below the original one. It's a common tagboard, used on several sites. Magic's idea... read more about how this common bulletin tagboard idea came about on her site.

Oh my goodness, EXAMS!!!
With exams every few weeks, no mid-semester breaks (unlike other lucky batches), I'm getting pretty drained and exam stress is really getting to me. In fact, there's Reproductive System ICA tomorrow... ARGH.
What do you do when you're stressed up??? Here's what I find myself doing...
1. Laundry -- from washing to hanging to ironing...
2. Cook -- more homecooked dinners nearer exam time and if dinner isn't enough, I'll even cook supper.
3. Go hyperactive -- and I'm not the only one, so it's a crazy world here.
4. Afternoon nap -- yeah, just when I needa spend more time studying, I find myself spending loads of precious time in bed taking afternoon naps.. well.. it may just be because I sleep a lot later and wake up a lot earlier.
5. Blog -- DUH!!!

Woof!
How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the waggely tail.
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that doggy's for sale
Don't you ever wonder whether the dog was bought in the end? And more importantly, whether he had a truly good home?
How many people out there actually buy pets on impulse? Just because the said animal is "so cute!!! so adorable!!!". Without first considering whether they have the means to give the animal a good home? "But he's so cute! I'll love him!" Dude, love isn't enough! Do you have the space? Can you afford the time? What do you know about the pet you want to keep? And well, 80% of the time, people that get pets on impulse stop "loving" their pets after they get tired of them and that'll be nothing more than 2 months.
That's not to say that I'm against having pets. I think it's a good thing. We've never not had a dog in the house, and we had other pets as well! In fact, I've even got 2 dwarf hamsters with me in my apt right now. (Give me a choice and I'll wanna keep a huge Alsation, but no space or time lah.) It's people that buy pets then not take care of them properly that irks me.

Ermz...
Poor bloggie has been neglected for the past 4 days. There's really nothing that I feel like blogging about but I'm determined not to let rantings die. :P
There's a lot on my mind recently but nothing that I feel I can put into words... Saturday saw me spending the entire day being miserable (those who know what happened knows why) and I'm glad things are slowly sorting itself out. I'm still upset at myself for letting things progress in that certain manner, but well... like a certain naggy-friend I have said on the way to dinner on Saturday... MOVE ON... and I guess I had better. No point letting things affect my life too much right?
Now, on that certain naggy-friend... she just changed her blog template and is pretty excited about it I think. Go have a look! :) She's no longer into buses and trains, it seems like the birthday cakes she got has inspired her to change even the title of her blog. :P
I've also, according to Elena, done something stupid and opened a very dangerous door yesterday. Now, that sounds pretty scary.. and we'll see where that dangerous doorway lead ok? In the mean time, please hope that I don't catch Elena's swearing-syndrome. Elena... if I ever say "fuck" during debate, I'll make sure you die a horrible death. HRMPH.
There's something that I'm "making" for Sheena... but I keep forgetting to bring it to class... Haiz...

On a happier note...
The previous post was about something that made me unhappy... but at the same time, I'm alright 'cos there were stuff going on that kept my spirits up. :)
It was Sheena's, YW's and YY's birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Sheena and YY are 22 now. *cough* old *cough cough* YW should be getting her key (if her family practices the tradition). :)
Since it was a public holiday yesterday and all 3 birthday people wanna spend the actual day with their respective boy-boys and girl-girl, what are we "mere friends" to do but to celebrate the birthdays yesterday?
I must admit it was tiring rushing from Subang and Bandar Utama in order to attend both celebrations (Sheena's and YY-YW combined), but think it's really worth it. It's not about the food (although food was good), but about the friendship, I think. I struck me as we were leaving The Curve that there is less than a year more before all of us will be leaving BJ for Seremban or PMS. Sigh..
Erm, before this turns into a whining post, think I better end off... :P

Happy? Sad? Disappointed? Excited? I don't know
What does it mean when a person gets what she wants? How is she supposed to feel? Of course she's supposed to be happy right? Yesterday, I got something I wanted very much... but I'm not happy. I'm not happy not because I'm not satisfied, I'm not happy because while I get what I wanted, some other people didn't get what they wanted. Especially when in this group of "some other people" there's someone that I feel deserves it more than I do...
They say human beings are never satisfied, and the older you get, the more difficult it is to be satisfied. Is that the case with me? Must everything go my way before I'm happy. I don't know.
What I do know is that with regards to the issue, I'm not happy.

Whispering Flames, Unforgettable Sentiments
This was the theme of IMU Ball 2005, held a week ago.
From prom shopping to preparations on the day itself to the ball and finally post-ball... tiring... *pant pant* All that shopping and preparations resulted in a lot of girls-only outings and I think it has brought some of us very much closer. :)
Now the pictures...
In order to go for Ball...
Where... is my hairbrush? Oh where... is my hairbrush?
Good friend and housemate, pretty right? :D
All so smiley and nice...
M2/03! A lot of us.. like.. A LOT
With Sem 5 EoS due on the 13th of December, most of us will most probably not meet after December this year... Sad eh?

Of FFKs, meetings, blood donations and boring lectures...
13th April 2005, the day so far has been horrible.
Appeared in school early in the morning to know that whatever I came for has been cancelled. It's the second time in the week, in fact, it's 2 days back to back! FFK-ed by 2 groups of people for the same activity. I sincerely believe that regular FFK-ians and last-minute-schedulers should be tied together and shot.
Next up, met up with a lecturer to discuss something. I didn't like the way things turned out. Broken promises are bad stuff. I don't see why anyone can just churn out promises like that when they know that they can't fulfil it anyway. Lifting people's hopes up and then decide one fine day to crush it just sucks. Assuming that "huh? I've never heard of something like this" attitude makes it even worse.
Blood donation's OK. Painless affair, no bruise this time 'round (at least not yet) All's well wrt to this bloody issue... but it's my 5th time, I didn't expect anything to go wrong anyway.
Boring lectures are bad stuff. I've got 4 continuous ones today. All boring ones. Someone help!!!!!!!!!!!
As if all that's not enough, I'm feeling highly irritable today. Excuse me while I go find a wall to bang my head against. Grr...

December 13th
Doom looms ahead. Sigh.
I was going to blog about ball but an announcement made during the 2nd lecture yesterday spoilt my mood. Right now, most of us M203-ians are telling each other, 'STUDY AH!! DECEMBER 13TH AH!!' Yes, less than half way into semester 4 and we are worrying about Sem 5 EoS. The exam that's traditionally in January has been brought forward to December and this little bit of change is horrible.
*sobz*

Funny-ness
Recently, I came across a link to a senior's blog. Got it from Jin Khang aka Gilthoniel's page. Absolutely hilarious!!!
Oh ya, here's a random quote picked up during lecture...(ya, I remember these stuff better than I remember med stuff)
"... this girl is having bilateral ptosis" -- D. S at the end of a late afternoon lecture

It's the season to spend money...
falalalala..lalalala
With IMU Ball just around the corner, almost every ball-going friend around me is broke. Like B-R-O-K-E. Let's see... what do you need to get in order to go for the ball.
1. The ticket Like.. DUH!!! Otherwise how do you plan to go for the ball? Well, it cost 90 bucks, and *cough* the ball better be good. (With regards to that, I think just go with a positive attitude, have loads of faith in the organising committee.)
2. The gown This will depend on what you get. Mm.. but I'll say on average, a person spends about RM500? For a gown that you'll most probably only wear once. O-U-C-H.
3. Accessories Most girls have accessories already, but to have a set that goes with your gown and is appropriate for a formal function like the ball? Er... Don't think so. Let's say RM100 for ear rings, necklace/choker and maybe a bracelet?
4. Shoes and Handbag It's well known that most girls love love love to buy shoes so yupz, how can we miss out on an opportunity to get a new pair? So ya, shoes and handbag, conservatively (very conservatively) RM100.
5. Hair and Make Up This is pretty standard lahz, about another RM100.
Minus manicure 'cos not everyone will wanna do it, going to a ball will cost a person about RM900. No wonder most of us are broke... But then again, it's all for a once in a lifetime kinda thing right? *grin*

OMG OMG OMG
Just saw a msg a senior left in the KVPUG forum and it made me realise one thing... I have got no idea who reads my blog! Although I know that stuff on the internet is available for just about anyone to read, it just feels different when someone tells you that another person has been reading your blog, and he talks 'bout it too.
Anyway, I'm almost ready to hide myself under the table and not come out again... or maybe I'll just faint...
But before that... erm... *wave* HI!!! <-- to all my readers.

QYs
Spent most of the weekend talking ... talking ... having conversations that I call quality-yaks (QY), conversations that happen when friends sit together and they are not gossiping or bitching away.
QYs only happen between people who trust each other enough to tell serious stuff, among people who feel that the other can understand what they say and their states of mind. And it's vital that people don't judge each other. I like these kind of yakking, because it is much deeper than superficial "that guy is so cute" types, and matter so much more. That's not to say that blondy-type conversations are not important. I'm sure life will be sucky if we're serious and deep all the time.. but well.. that's besides the point.
I had some very good conversations with friends that, IMO, have drifted apart in the past few months. They were good talks that enabled me to realise many things, that allowed me to look at myself and do some reflections. They have also allowed me to look at things from a different perspective and see things differently.
I don't know if my ultra-frankness and lack of tact have offended anyone of them, but if it has and if anyone of them are reading this, then... I'm sorry.
I don't know if all the yakking has benefited anyone else but it has definitly benefited me... :) Thanks gals.
A lot to think about... life's such a complicated thing...
