BORED!

Gosh....exams are around the corner..but i have yet to study anything...haihh...how to work things right??? What have i become ever since i left high school i wonder?? Right now...i'm just wasting my time in the computer lab while waiting for my Bio lab at 2pm...someone please tell me how to motivate myself to study like how i used to when i was in school??No...actually back then i didn't really study also....aihhh....die la....this is the most rubbish post ever i guess hah hah HAH HAH ~gone crazy~

INSPIRED.

You guys must be wondering what finally made me update my blog......the thing is I'm Inspired by someone's post!... So sad that it's no longer To Inspire (sggs edboarders!!) but rather i need others to inspire me....there are too many things going on in my life right now.....too much to be blogged....

I used to enjoy life....and everything that comes with it.....I like wasting time (my favourite past time, no kidding eh)...I like staring blankly into the ceiling with soothing music on the background...I like to chat on msn.....I like playing violin.....I like attending orchestra practices....I like to chat over the phone like nobody's business with my close pals.....I like to spend time with my family and friends...I like to be active...I like to get involved in projects and succeed in them...I like the feeling of achievement...I like going up on stage getting prizes....BUT

ALL of these are the things that i am no longer able to do....maybe I should add a suffix -ed to all the likes above....

Life here in UM is really crazy....or like how my friend Reuben used to say to me "madness"!!! I have tests (mid-sems) every single week from the 2nd week of this semester up till now!..I used to like tests and exams...I looked forward to them but not ever since I came here.....I got so stressed up that i no longer know how to let go and relax.....I get tensed muscles all the time....I am deprived of sleep to the extent I now have permanent dark eye circles....

And all the activities are draining off the little of energy left in me.....I changed from someone who was able to hold important posts, take pressure, committed, multi-task and yet achieve what i desired to a person I no longer knew....I became reclusive....I only want to be in my room (hostel) and do not want to take part in any activities.....I no longer have the confidence to deliver.....as a result, I quitted UM Debate training on the 2nd week here (I got into that because I won the Intercollege Orientation Debate, by luck i guess).....I then quitted Pesta Tanglung UM in my 2nd month here.......What more can i say?

I, being a person who loves to visit new places, gain new experiences didn't join the Chinese Community (CC) trip.....and didn't join most of the meetings and outings....but there are also events which I can't say NO as an answer.....For instance, the recently concluded Entrepreneurship Day.....it's part of my Basic Entrepreneurship course (yeah you read correctly, I'm doing Science...but this is Business....it's a mandatory course for all...even if you're medical student)....

and then Pesta Tanglung CC came along (last night that was).....I was the emcee....I spoke minimal mandarin for two reasons...One, the administrators disallow the usage of mandarin or somehow that's what I was told..I have got my D to write me one Chinese script actually before I was told about that...Two, I'm half a banana who of course can communicate fluently in Mandarin but hello, it's communicative mandarin and not the formal kind needed to host an event ok! I can't even read.....how do you expect me to use all the formal words....but at the end of it, someone showed displeasure by saying this to me "Wahh...ohhh now you can speak mandarin d hoh?" Sarcastic bugger.....I only got one thing to say to this bugger "You're sick and stop making yourself so low and shallow" shame on you for being supposedly a senior!

and I figured...the audience didn't know what "Let's give them another round of applause" means......wow....I'm surprised....I don't want to talk much about this anyways...but I have done my best to accomodate the VERY VERY last minute changes.....and be gone with it....

Next up on my list is two more tests next Thursday...then it's study week already....I have not studied a single bit of anything....aiks....going home on 24th.....then having my finals from 3rd nov to 17th nov......I will be off for home on the 18th....I can't wait to chill out with my secondary school pals...Guys, Good Luck in STPM o!!

I think I ought to change my blogname soon to LIFE...instead of DREAMS...because Dreams no longer exist in my life here.....*a big sigh* and off to bed~~

Biohealth Science

Many people have asked me what is Biohealth Science all about actually...Everyone only knows about medicine, dentistry and pharmacy...hah hah....

This is the excerpt from UM's website :

The purpose of the interdisciplinary program is to produce graduates who have sound knowledge of biological sciences with particular reference to its application to medical and health-related fields. Biohealth Science deals with the scientific basis of health and disease in humans and is currently one of the most rapidly developing areas in biological sciences.

The B.Sc. (Biohealth Science) has been developed for very able students with strong interest and inclination towards health-related disciplines. Students have the opportunity to study fundamental biology in addition to a wide variety of biohealth subjects such as physiology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology, biochemistry, neurobiology, histology, health care and DNA recombinant technology.

Entry into the programme is competitive. The programme receives hundreds of applications each year, but accepts only a limited number of students yearly. Selection is based on availability of places and academic merit.

This programme is a major in Biohealth Science. Upon graduation, candidates will be conferred with Bachelor of Science degree.

“It started as a random choice, but led to an enjoyable journey of knowledge. That is what Biohealth Science had offered me for the past years. It is a course which has equipped me with knowledge as well as practical experience in the forever-enchanting field of biology and life. Exposure to histology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, microbiology and genetics makes Biohealth Science one of the most challenging courses.”
Former Student

I personally chose this because I really do have strong interest in medical fields...but i never wanted to be a doctor or a dentist......heh heh.....Organic Chemistry got me becoming scared of Pharmacy....which apparently is said to be harder than medicine or dentistry......

Leaving for KL on 27th....

I mentioned before in another post that 19th of June is D-day!...It's the day I will know my fate....and fate is, I got into Malaysia's Top University...guess what??not the APEX university though....hah hah...it's noneother than the glorious Universiti Malaya.....

I got into the Science faculty.......majoring in Biohealth Science.....Actually yes this was the course i chosen....I chose this over Biomedical Science.....=)....and the best part, it's only a three-year degree....saves a heap lot of time eh...considering the fact that I already saved a year doing Matriculation instead of STPM....

It caught me by surprise that I got UM....I was all the while expecting to get into UKM....not like i think it's better...but more like I applied more courses from UKM than UM.....all the better that i got UM....because I have been wanting to enter....all i can say is....I am lucky!

But, nevertheless life is never perfect. or at least that's what I believe in......I will be in different universities with my D....he will enter into the dentistry faculty of UKM......the least i can say is too bad for us and too sad for us.......we will of course try our utmost best to meet.....(he will be in KL city...whereas I would be in KL-Selangor border).....but I am happy for him that he got what he wanted....although he will be happier if he got UM.......this is the test that we are both ready to take.....

Guess that's all.....I haven't packed...ouch!

Braced, finally.....

I got my braces on Friday, 12th of June.....my first colours being Purple (dark) and Light purplish-blue.......3 days on, I am beginning to feel the abrasions effects....Now, I am protecting my inner lips with dental wax which is minty-flavoured.....and I still can't chew my food....

My food has been taken wholesale into my gastrointestinal tract for 3 whole days! Hopefully there won't be any digestive problems stemming from this or else it will drive me crazy....

So, below I attached the video (recorded on my handphone, NOT by professional)...so don't complain!!...haha....

Conclusion of An Important Chapter

Yes, the title states it all! With the last post on trips I went on during my Matriculation days, it signifies the conclusion of an important chapter of my life. Now, I am ready to embark on a new journey that will bring me to my destiny. Up to this point of my life, everything seemed like a routine everyone goes through : growing up, entering primary school, then secondary....senior prom comes along....friends from the years all separated into different countries, states, colleges and elsewhere....then comes the final step - university.....

Come 19th of June, I will know where my destiny brings me. I leave everything to God's will on which university I would be offered....But, definitely I will be thankful if I get any of my eight choices of courses....so pray for me!....cheerio~

Con't : Trips

13/02/2009 : Gua Kelam - Taman Ular Perlis - Kuala Perlis

JPP (Jawatankuasa Perwakilan Pelajar) or in another words, Students' Council's Biro Fizikal organised this trip and we, from Biro Penerangan dan Perhubungan Luar was invited along...and our trip that day was nevertheless interesting. The snakes did freak me out a bit though, otherwise it was a nice experience.

It took us quite a lot to get to that place for a picture...haha....and it's really slippery.....

This was the bus which took us to our destinations......for one of the last times....

21/02/2009 : Lye Huat Garden

No pictures for this trip as first of all, there are only animals and more animals there. For I am not an animal person, the pictures i snapped were merely for my coursework and nothing worth publishing....haha...and if you wonder why on earth did i visit the place given i am not an animal person.....it's a compulsory trip for ALL biology students in KMK.....as part of our Practical session on Biodiversity...oh, how much I hated this chapter! 100-over pages long....nope, no colourful pictures but merely the characteristics of all the different species, phylum, subphylum, class, order....bla bla.....the only part that i hated in Biology for my second semester.....hah hah...

BANDING!!

yea...so hmm....sorry for all the no-updates done lately.....i will put on hold my posts on trips...but rather...post on another thing that is happening in my life......that is...to have braces fixed.....

So, today I went to the orthodontist.....to replace my fallen off separator (which i love so much because the colour is so nice....) and to be told by the nurse that i can actually fix the molar bands today....so better still.....i negogiate for an earlier appointment (i was given an appointment next week for molar banding and on the 26th for bonding- fixing everything else).......and so i was told if i fix my bands today, i can come back next friday for bonding! yay.....instead of 2 months for the first four appointments.....i am doing it in TWO WEEKS!....XD but that also means paying more within this one month....lol....

My concern is that if i get it fixed on 26th, i probably need to report for university on 27th and should complications arise, it's harder to manage.......so thank goodness she could give me an earlier appointment.....for the doc is fully booked till July.....uh-oh.....lucky me....

BUT......if you know me, I am such a food-lover that I will do anything just to savour my foods.... even with four tooths missing, I could still munch on hard foods....lol....albeit it hurts.....

It's my mom's birthday today and most of it, I am going to have a hard time during our dinner tonight...grrr....and my granny's 80th birthday dinner is this saturday...and so....again...food is going to be hard on me.....PLUS....my family luncheon (because my bro and sis-in-law are back) on Sunday.........FOOD and MORE FOOD......haihhh.....that's all i can do~

Guess what??Yepp....I went to Langkawi (All-sponsored) *wink wink* But the side note is, I almost did not make it for the trip. This was because I have been looking forward to go home (back to Penang) for that weekend after being unable to make it back home for more than a month. And then, there came another bad news. My other 2 chinese gal pals pulled out of the trip at the very last minute (a day before the trip). So, D wasn't very keen on me going being the only girl with 3 other chinese guys (all of whom are my close pals actually). But, I can't resist it because it's my first time to Langkawi and since it's paid for, why not? I'm not going to bore you with my ramblings but rather, the pictures will tell u about my trip. Pictures paint a thousand words, don't they?

5 - 7/02/2009 : Langkawi

To proceed or not? >.<

That's a tired me resting by the well!

Nice decor in the restaurant we had our dinner

L-R : Khang Way, Me, Zhe Yi and Wei Xhine

Pantai Cenang during sunset...pretty...

Ain't this nice???the Oriental Village

L-R: Wei Xhine, Khang Way and Me (in the cable car)

The view from the cable car

That's it! Mountain range in view...

The suspension bridge of Gunung Mat Cincang

See the gluttony in me?...wakakaka Xp



A picture with foreign tourists (ps. the guys insisted!*roll eyes*)

The top station of the cable car stands at 710m above sea level. The view is exemplary, the air is cool and fresh. I'm sure going to make a second trip back there for the cable car. It's cool...we took two rounds of the cable car haha....coz the air was too nice....and the rest of our group were slow....

Gondola

Underwater World Langkawi

A bunch of us posing for a picture at UWL

Penguin : The signature attraction of UWL

What is a trip to UWL without a picture of a fish??hehe...I like the pokey pokey stuff....

I was scared like anything having that parrot on my shoulders, but well, luckily it didn't scratch me or pull my necklace. And, it seemed to be smiling there....=D oh ya, that was in Bird Paradise Langkawi.

It was not just simply a bird park, but it has many other animals too like peacock, monkeys, etc. And it has got beautiful rainforest setting in there, just like in this picture : a waterfall.

Four of us on board the ferry, taking the last picture before each of us dozed off except for that Khang Way who insisted on transfering all the photos from my handphone because he knew I would be too lazy to lend him my phone on any other days. Haha....very smart.....

That's it, Bye bye to Langkawi.

Ps. All pictures were taken by my handphone only. So, don't complain! ;)

More trips to come....

The plus point going to matriculation will be its all-paid for free trips.....Below are photos on such events that i had the chance to enjoy that privilege! XD

13/09/2008 : Buffet dinner at Menara Berputar Alor Setar with my tutorial group, H1P2

This buffet dinner was my tutorial group's initiative of getting everybody together for a meal before separating into new groups for the new semester. There were only 5 chinese in my class, 4 girls and 1 guy...but nevertheless, they are among the nicest chinese friends i met there, especially Khang Way....Way to go, mate!

The four chinese girls, (L-R: Min Zhen, Felicia, Qi Fen & Me)

The view snapped while in the lift of the tower

Menara Berputar Alor Setar

24/09/2008 : Padang Besar - Kuala Perlis trip with H1P4

So, you must be wondering that H1P4 is not my tutorial group.....Actually this trip was not a trip marked in my schedule but rather an eleventh hour one. As this trip was organised by another good friend, Pee Terh....he asked if I would like to tag along since they still have vacant seats in the bus.....there were several others who tagged along too...just like me...haha...but so sad...my D couldn't come along as he had some silly hockey test....hah hah....

The view is so panoramic and peaceful....over at Kuala Perlis....

Another captivating view of the horizon, during sunset.

Me at Kuala Perlis

And, this was the bunch of people who tagged along for the trip!!





More to come....

.Rewind.


hmm....I did Matriculation (one year programme) in Kedah Matriculation College as I have mentioned before....initially, life there was fun.....but soon enough, everything turned sour.....

I would say this is the WORST year of my 18+ years of life....I have never faced so many problems within such a short span of time in my life....Although I studied in an English school (also referred to as a Malay school, whichever it is), I have never come across any major racial discrimination issues. Ironically, I was/am good with most of secondary school teachers....and actually most (yes, most NOT all) of my matriculation lecturers.

Right there, I was not only a victim of racial discrimation (I can't disclose it here due to its sensitivity) but also i was faced by language discrimination. This is basically because most of the chinese there are chinese-educated whereas there were only less than 5 english-educated chinese there i think.....Thus, I'm considered half a banana, who can speak fluent mandarin but NOT understand their culture.

So, what i mean by 'their culture', you may wonder.....Basically, I have no idea why they have to look down on the english-educated ones....so what if you're from whatever so-called best chinese school in Penang?And there comes their selfish bit. They will just do anything in their own interest regardless of the harm implied on others. I have witnessed cases where they badmouthed the other chinese students in front of the lecturer, just to get in charge of a project. Pathetic is what i called that....

Friends, in my own perception, are people who will be there for you when you needed them and that does not mean that you OWN them! But from what i have observed and personally experienced there, this is not the case. Being there for them when they need you is one, and secondly you must always be physically present. And oh yes, having a friend who has a boyfriend/girlfriend appears to be a huge issue although the friend is still willing to be there when you're in trouble. Man, I can't accept that! Moreover, they form gangs (usually girls) and gossip their butts off on their enemies (other gangs)...So childish....

However, I would like to reinstate that NOT ALL chinese-educated students are like that....the guys usually won't go to that extent for they will fight and be friends again....

Next goes the college rules. Their rules can drive anyone up the wall. Among them, no shorts allowed to be worn on college grounds...students are not allowed to be in their rooms from 8am-4pm everyday(except weekends) regardless of whether you have/have no lessons on that day....guys and gals cannot sit one-with-one in the library....jeans are not allowed to be worn when you go for outings...no electrical appliances allowed including electric kettle and extension wires...Curfew of 7pm for outings and students can only go out from Wed and Thurs(after 4pm and be back by 7pm)....Fri and Sat (7am-7pm)....compulsory to attend shitty 'taklimats'...where they crapped most of the times...there are many more...and i don't think i will ever finish....haha....so what do you think??

Going online proved to be another trouble over there. NO wi-fi.....you can plug in your laptop in the tutorial block but msn, facebook, friendster are blocked....and same goes for the computers in the library....and they are down quite often....no idea why...and we can't enter the computer labs as we like..that's why it is a hassle to go online there, what more to blog??...no time for that.....this is just part of my life there....lol....haven't touched on parts lik hygiene, cca and academics!...

M.I.A.

So...it has almost been a year now....actually....in this one year that i have been MIA....I learnt a lot, experienced a heap load, underwent multiple hurdles and last but not least, still surviving till today! haha....I'm sorry for not updating my blog as often as any other bloggers...basically because of the lack of facilities and time.....I shall try my utmost best to picture everything that had taken place in the past year....Hmm....stay tuned!=D

BACK!!

So, photos!!!.....Sort of blur...taken with my handphone only...=( didn't bring along digicam...bear with me.....

LIVE FROM KMK!! =P

Hello everybody, very sorry for not blogging for awhile....cool...finally there's one computer that can log onto Blogspot in KMK (Kolej Matrikulasi Kedah) hehe...i'm in the Computer Lab....=) Apparently, they block all entries to blogspot, myspace, msn and all the normal glamorous websites we go to!!!....>.< but there's a good thing here regarding the Internet (FREE INTERNET) even in their cyber cafes.

Life here is great....contrary to the 'popular' belief that it sucks....Facilities wise..it's brilliant!!Had my first try at squash here...they have squash courts, tennis courts etc. and you know what, they even loan the sports equipments to you at NO COST! and mind you, Wilson racquets etc...and oh yes, bicycles...but i can't cycle...too bad...hah hah....alright I'm keeping this short...i will blog more when i return home this weekend!! CIAO~~ =D

Updates.

Just an update here...I have got a place in the local Malaysian Matriculation programme...to Kedah Matriculation College, in Changloon.....Many would say this is pretty useless programme...no value at all....yep, i agree with you on that....but would like to share my point of view here....

Right from before, I didn't want to go to the Matrics...i totally despised it like how I used to despise Form 6 (still do though..) I had a cousin who completed Matrics and subsequently got into USM...and recently graduated already.....so it's natural for my family members and uncles aunties to talk me into going to Matrics...but that wasn't the thing that changed my mind.

I was thinking all this while that perhaps if i do STPM i will stand a better chance of securing an overseas scholarship later on.....compared to Matrics....but realistically...to score a cgpa of 4.0 in STPM is not an easy task.....and Matrics definitely proves to be a better option...

From another perspective, i believe most STPM students will end up in public universities also because majority won't be able to score the perfect score....and on the other hand Matrics students are reportedly guaranteed a place in the public universities already prior to completion of the programme...and if the student is able to maintain a cgpa of 4.0....he or she is able to choose the course and university he or she favours.....

And....STPM takes 1.5 years which after completion another half a year will be wasted waiting for the results.....whereas Matrics offers a 1 year programme....and to according to my preliminary calculations, it will only take 9-10 months......Another good thing about it is that it goes by semesters....and not like STPM where you cram two years worth of knowledge into one particular exam....It's not to say i'm not up to the challenge...but rather....I do not want to put myself in unneccessary pressure if i have a choice, which right now i do....

I plan to continue taking STPM tuitions....where I keep up to the STPM level of education...while sitting for the Matrics paper....this is the best thing i can do to make up for all the shortcomings in the quality/level of education provided in Matrics....just hopefully things will be smooth-sailing...I still plant a hope (a dying hope maybe) to get JPA.....but for now....this is my best choice, best bet.....and I guess im satisfied with it.....I believe with more effort, i will be able to keep up to the STPM standards.....

Imagine when you attend a tuition where everybody seemed like they are in a pressure cooker....you are just breezing through trying to gain as much knowledge as possible without worrying about STPM.....i guess it would just be great....

and...as I have always confessed....I really HATE Sejarah.....so Matrics once again proves to be a better choice because there are only three subjects to be taken, two sciences (either Phy or Bio stream) and Maths....NO Pengajian Am!!! WOohoo....Byebye to Perundangan, Kehakiman etc. heh heh.....

But....for the beginning.....it also means i won't have my laptop with me to Kedah....until everything settles down and after I have confirmed studying there.....I will definitely be deprived of the Internet!!!arghhhhh....

I have got to sign out now....i'm still going to school tomorrow....would like to spend my last few days in my school of five years....and with friends whom i have known for over a decade.....oh..not to be forgotten...teachers.....many of whom treat me like their friend....=)....by the way, I'm not going to withdraw from the school yet...I'm giving myself two weeks to try out in Matrics....so I will give a firm decision only after the school holidays (yay...school holidays bless me from being absent in school for two weeks!!) =D

Red.Annoying.Patches. (RAP)


If any one of you happened to bump into me anywhere....even in school....will immediately notice the new 'guest', RAP!!!....where did RAP affect?? my FACE!!!!chest, back, hands....isk....

Waited for a good two hours to consult the famous skin specialist in Penang, Dr. Lim Huat Bee....and it wasn't for even five minutes of consultation......*faints*.....and according to him....this is drug allergy....and haha...joke of the day...as I explained to him about my condition he asked me "Are you a nurse??or a medical student??" *double faints*

Everybody thought it was an allergic reaction probably from dusts....because i was tested positive for that...and i have a highly elevated allergy antibodies in relative to my age (25 times higher than normal people)....

But, it turned out to be a drug allergy.....means I'm allergic to drugs belonging to the Penicillin family.....i had a 1-week antibiotic (Amoxicillin) course about two weeks ago for my ear infection...i don't normally take that particular antibiotic for any other reason because apparently it's too mild....and right after that, barely a day or two after i completed the course...RAP paid me a visit already....but little did i know it would spread to my ears (pinna), neck, FACE!! and everywhere else......so depressing....my self-esteem is at its low point now.....with RAP's face!!! =((

Removed.

The previous post has been removed because JPA results were out on the 11th (it's my bad..so i thought i should just remove it)...it was a sudden decision by them...because they only posted on their website about the release date...somewhere on the 10th May afternoon....before that, they e-mailed someone and stated that it's going to be released only on the 15th....

so hmm...nope...as i expected....i once again see the word "Maaf"....numbed already....so that's it..have to keep this short....because i have to attend school tomorrow, after some half year break.....it's time to work again!!...=)....will update soon!

T00-OOOmato Ears...

yeah...you read right....it's TOMATO EARS.....and that refers directly to my ears. I have no idea how or why it happened....two weeks back...i had this sort of itch over on my pinna....so obviously i succumbed to the itchiness and scratched obliviously....

I thought that probably it was just an allergic reaction which is usually a one-time thing....but little did i know..the itchiness led to an infection....and now...my left ear apparently has pus inside....yikes....and to rule out allergic reaction...i have been taking antihistamine (XYZal) and antileukotrine (singulair) quite regularly for other purposes......and the redness of my ears didn't subside..

So, one week of antibiotic....anti-inflammatory....ear drops....hopefully it will get well....i don't want to go to another doctor again and be put on another course of antibiotics....it always happened that way.....*sobs*

~HY the red-eared reindeer~

Yummy....tuitty fruitty...yippiee!!XD

Actually...there are many things running across my mind now...but because of the limitation of time (I promised to do my mom a favour...so I'm stealing a bit of time since she's not around *ahems* bad i noe!)....i decided i shall post about my long-time obsession.....Don't know if I should label it as OBSSESSION...but dear close friends...should know...i am crazy over fruits...for no apparent reason...

I'm NOT obssessed over health (oh yes, everybody knows!)....no...I'm not an anorexic..so there's no need for me to substitute my meals with fruits.....and NOOO....I'm not someone who's extremely conscious with her weight....I eat like nobody's business most of the time....HAH HAH...

So...how everything started???No idea....but i really love eating fruits...i don't know why....and mind you, i don't take 2 bananas, 2 apples and 1 orange as my lunch....its POST-lunch...hah hah...right after my main meals (usually lunch) :


Combination 1 : 2 bananas, 1 red apple, 1 green apple, 1 orange
Combination 2 : 1 banana, 1 red apple, 2 green apples
Combination 3 : 1 starfruit (whole), 1 apple, 1 orange (XL)
Combination 4 : 1 banana, 1 red apple, 1 green apple, 1 orange
Combination 5 : 1 red apple, 1 green apple, 1 orange, 5 cherry tomatoes (i can't take too much of this because apparently tomatoes will worsen sinusitis)

Basically, the above mentioned combinations are those main ones that i will take (one combination at any one time).....and the sizes are usually regular ones or big....you probably won't find me eating baby apples....though they are cute....haha....

Mei Lean once called me CRAZY....for eating so much fruits..right after my lunch....hah hah...remember those days when we got home after school, bathed, lunch, online (fruits time too!) =D

and till today.....i'm still so crazy...i just finished Combination 3 a moment ago...that prompted me to post this up....now coming to think of it, i begin to wonder...if my blood glucose is high...because of all the natural sugars i took in....the last blood glucose test done in september 2006 was perfectly normal.....basically because i don't usually take sweet foods....except sweets...yes...sweets...but nowadays i take very little sweets already...don't know why.....

another funny thing would be....why does my stomach have a huge capacity for someone my size??weird huh? I assure you that i can eat as much as guys do...sometimes more....already done comparing with my fellow guy friends...*laughs* but one thing for sure...I LOVE FOOD!!!

yippiee yay yay....too happy thinking of food~~ciao~~

Bosses WITH NO RESPECT for workers

I was really happy and appreciative when my previous part-time (roadshows) job's boss called me up asking if I'm interested to work for a bridal shop for the Bridal Fair at Prangin Mall on 19th and 20th (today)....so of course, i grabbed the chance....after all its RM 50 per day....why not???Just for two days.....so that's basically how everything started and i met two bosses (husband and wife) who simply have no respect for others.


When my friend (Daphne) and I wanted to go to the washroom together....i mean why not when there are 8 people working at the same time and there weren't many or at that time, ANY customers.....it's just ridiculous that the boss (husband) stopped us and questioned us "why your all must go together ah??cannot one person go then come back another go ah??" Man...I don't see anything wrong....with 8 people working....if it was like only 2 people working....it will be very unreasonable for both of us to go to the washroom together....and in comparison....the other workers (their regular staff) got to go in pairs....OH HEY PLEASE....YOUR 50 BUCKS IS NOT EVERYTHING!....


Alas, we went too...after like standing there for 3 minutes listening to him babble....rite....the next thing that happened that got me furious was...."No one is to go eat dinner....Two of you (pointing at two of the other staff) go buy for the two of them (pointing at me and Daphne)...because it's already 7pm...." What a lame excuse.....and when I retorted to that saying that why not they go buy back...then Daphne and I will go buy ours...at least we get to buy what we want to eat, no? Come on, not like he pays for our meals....so who are you to stop us from eating what we desire...and most of it...i don't know what has 7pm got to do with us eating....we are humans after all....we need food to keep us standing all day for like say 10 hours (already counted the times we got to sit which is another part of this story)....so i was thinking "Isn't it a very basic human rights that he's intruding now??"


Okay...dinner over....he told another girl and I to go peep at another booth (another bridal house's that is which had very good business)....and to peep at their photo albums....ridiculous!!and he went over to Daphne and said this "Why did just let the customer go like that....you can always snatch them back from the opposite booth...." He pays us RM50 for 11 hours work and expecting us to 'snatch' customers from other booths....which is so unethical....*sighs*


Let's go on.....whenever we sat down he would stare at us.....mannnnn....think what....we are humans with aching legs due to prolonged standing in high heels....not robots....and even robots, will run out of battery, won't it??It's very, very unreasonable coming to this stage....that both of us almost decided to walk out on them....but to hold onto my personal principle, I decided to work today anyway....since I have made my promise beforehand....


So, my legs hurt like nobody's business and after soaking in hot water, how good a pain relief it was....but this morning i woke up all groggy...and puked i did....But, I still have to go because I won't let my friend down like that...leaving her there....so I went....

But, indeed my head was spinning periodically...and my legs (in heels) hurt worse than yesterday....that made me decide to tell the boss (wife) that I wish to work half-day only today...she said "Okay...if not later you pengsan"....So...yeahhh....GREATTTT!!...and then...she said i can leave at 3pm!!YAY....

We didn't get to go buy our lunch till 2.15pm!!!Actually, both Daphne and I brought food from home...mine was in tupperware and hers in styrofoam container....but if we get a chance to go somewhere else (which happened to exist.XD) to sit, we will of course...we ain't stupid ok!...So we went to that 'somewhere' on pretext of buying food...we sat for 15 minutes before leaving....that wasn't at all over the limits....i actually timed 15 minutes....then we went to get some bubble milk tea and got back to our booth....

Then, we took out our food and eat....Holy crap....at least 3 pairs of eyes were focused on us and our food! Don't we have time-out when having our meals??How rude they were to stare at us..but obviously, it wasn't simply stares....they were 'checking' out our food...and i saw the boss (wife) tell another girl that i sort of cheated to go buy food...but ended up eating my own food from home....so even if i did cheat...SO WHAT???I have my rights of doing anything during lunch hour don't I???as long as i didn't do anything against you bugger bosses and your hopefully, soon-to-die business....and then that girl...who had been talking to me nicely, stabbing the boss (wife) in front of me.....stabbed me from behind...."Yalo...somemore put in TUPPERWARE lo"...What in the world she thinks she is doing???" I got so pissed..that i almost went in front of her and said, "Now, you FATTY behsyiok zit i very health-conscious...must take tupperware go contain my food instead of putting in plastic....coz hot hot put in plastic no good la...."zzzzz....silly bugger...but it was already 2.45pm then....i thought to myself "why do i want to make enemies...when after all...after this job..or rather...after 3pm..i swear i don't know any of them (count Daphne out in this)...." So, i went on to do my job....


and at 3.15pm....i officially walked out on them...the boss (husband) was kind of mad and pissed off when i told him it's time for me to go...and courteously i said thank you.....I was sort of happy to see him pissed....but i feel bad on the other hand that Daphne had to stay on.....and I'm wondering if they are going to talk any bad about me to my previous boss who recommended the job to me.....HAH HAH....but hopefully after all that I have done for that boss, she will know what type of worker I am....if you treat me well....i will not do anything against you.....if u treat me with no respect....just don't expect me to give you my best....that is simple isn't it?


I had not whined a word....even when i had to work till past 12am..helping them clear the roadshow things the last time i worked for her (the other boss)....in fact, i volunteered to do so....and even after i no longer work for her, I volunteered to come back and serve one particular caucasian customer....whom I served back then....and I was almost always the last person to eat dinner....and i really went all out in my job.....so guess....i'm not afraid of the useless people badmouthing me....

It had been a pretty bad weekend for me i guess...that made me decide I will not take up anymore part-time jobs other than from Channel Blue....that's it!...after all...the RM50 is not really what i'm looking at....The main reason i took up this job was to show my appreciation to the previous boss of mine for having a thought on me to the extent calling me up to see if i'm interested in this job....and also I was touched by her call early in the morning on the day when SPM results came out....so...guess that's all for now.....
