My mom's just came back from HK today, after 10 days of vacation/visiting my sis. I had to become my younger's sister full time driver, taking her to school, tuition, mall, doctor etc. My mom is back... means less freedom, but less burden too... :)

Anyway, i was to fetch her from KL Sentral at 2am. So i had disrupted sleep, getting a wake up call at 2am. It was raining, and i was too lazy to get out of bed. Annoyed as i am, when i got the KL Sentral, they barred the entrance, blocking all private vehicles into it. Seeing that Sentral has 3 entrance, 1 upstairs, 1 inside and 1 outside. The outside is where the main road is, where the monorail is.Its always jam, no matter what time is it, cause of the pedestrain. While the upstairs is quite congested as there are many vehicles turning, a pedestrain, and many blocks of office building. The inside entrance is where most of the bus stops, for those who sat before the airbus (bus from Sentral to LCCT), will know the place. Thats where all the bus from LCCT or Genting stops. Well, they blocked the entrance in. I have no idea how do they expect anyone to pick people up. All they do is cause a congestion somewhere else, and it is just a plain nuisance to carry a suitcase upstairs as there is only one really small escalator, or pull it outside. Argh, it just cause more JAM!

Dinner outing

Went to Star Village for dinner. There's 3 branches. Usually i go to the Kuchai Lama branch, but i wanted to try the OUG branch, the HQ. Different branch has different themes.The OUG branch has the theme of recycling, the Kuchai one is the 60's. I realised there was a new branch when i saw the brochure. The new one is in Kota Damansara, with a really cool theme- Sand & Beach. The interesting part which caught my eyes was, if you go there with a beach pants and flops you get 10% off, if you go there with your swimming attire, u get 50% off. NOT forgetting, if you go there with a snorkelling attire, you eat for free. It's weird, but its a cool concept. But i dun think ill go to a restaurant with swimming attires let alone snorkelling outfits. Hmm.... =s

The last time i went to the OUG one was like 3 years back. before it even shifted, with my dad and grandpa, basically my whole family- one memory i remembered when we were together. I remember it was the day i put on my braces. So i didnt get to eat anything as it was really painful to even bite together, let alone chew down a whole steak. I went there to drink soup only. =s

So ya, i went there tonight to try it out. The service was really bad. They even forgot my order. We had to remind them twice, and by the time my food came, everyone was done with their food. I was starving by then.Lucky, the food was fine. The mixed grill's fish didnt turn out so bad. The last time i went to the Kuchai one, the fish tasted weird. :s But i like the place, the surrounding is cool, AND there are games to play. LOL. I sound like a kid. :p

Back again..n again...n again...

Wow, last post is a year ago. LOL, seeing me this time wont last long anyway. Just need something to happen before it kills my mood to blog.

Well, the one year i was missing, was one hell of a year. Things happened which practically made a drastic change to my life,the biggest twist to be exact. Things can never be the same as it used to be. Things change i know, and lifes go on.. Yup, easier said than done. Im glad to say i can say im actually healing from it, letting the past be the past. Took me 9 months; it is really long, but in between more events happened too, so i guess the hole just gets deeper. But im climbing out, seeing the light soon enough. All i need is something to drastic, be occupied and busy, think less and life goes on really fine.

So yup, one year. I grew matured (according to my mother), which means i've been a 'baby' before this, no idea whether it is a compliment. I feel that i do think and do things differently,maybe cause im forced to grow up and grow out of my comfort zone, which makes me really hate it sometimes that things have to change.

Quick update on the crappy year. Although 'it' happened (i still dont feel comfortable mentioning wat 'it' is- deja vu), i manage to live on, managed to finish my year 1 with not much problem, although it was really hectic in sem2. :) I did an internship in a computing company, which totally distracted me again. Which makes me think again, maybe i am not healing, i have been just avoiding. Nevertheless i shall avoid as long as i can, and soon it will be out of the picture.
Crap, im being all sober. Gotta face reality!!

Anyway, 3 months of working really built up my interest in computing. I decided firmly that i wont venture into that field when i first started. Now i have stopped working, i kinda reminiscence the working period. I am starting to have doubts. :( But lucky, im learning computing this semester, we shall see how things go then.

So how am I? Everyone said i grew skinnier, and soon i might just vanish, which i still dont believe. My weight never changed. 42kg then, still 42 kg. Sam's philosophy: Maybe u grew more muscles instead of fats. Im not sure about that, but she is the one studying Bio, not me.

*Hopefully i continue blogging*.....

Yay, last week of this SEM.
Yes, once again, i have disappeared from the surface of this earth. This time is not my fault, aside that i have been really busy lately, i had to send my laptop to repair, as my comp crashed due to some stupid good-for nothing trojan.So my comp is totally 'empty', everything is gone and cleared. Sigh... sad....

Well, the last 2 weeks was major hectic. I have been staying back in Uni until 6,7,8 pm. I am totally worn out, rushing assignment, projects and reports. Glad it's over. Now just my finals, then sayonara, first Sem is over, and i can say bye to Dynamics and PSA. WHee!! Just one more month to go... so far yet so near... Then here comes holiday...

Happy Mothers' Day

Happy Mothers' Day to all...
This year, i decided to be special. No point buying her accessories, handbags, make-up, shoes, clothes etc... She can easily get those stuff. This year would be something different. My present was prepared months ago. I saw it in January when i was shopping, and I knew this was the present i want to give. It is a status, more like a plague i think, made from pewter; with a monkey on top. At the bottom, engraved, "Best Mother Award". It is rather cute.


Instead of a monkey, she was also entitled to a free spa. We went to try out the fish spa today. Fish spa is becoming a hit, maybe because no chemicals are used. I only wonder where do they dispose the fishes after that. What if they throw it back to the fish? Then we will be eating our own dirt. Eww!
When u put ur leg into the pool, the fishes will start 'biting' you. It is really really really ticklish. So people who are scared of tickle, especially if their leg is really sensitive, do not try it. When i put my leg in, and the fishes came, i started screaming. Everyone start to look at me. But seriously, it is so 'geli'... think this will be the first and last time i am going to try this.
For those who have not try fish spa, go on and try it.

Silly/ dumb machine

Whee! We just completed our Lab 4 today. The title of the the lab is Rube Goldberg, better known as Silly Machine. I would just call it, dumb machine. The objection of the experiment, apparently is the understand the motions better, but to me, it is just a killer experiment.

First, we are to build a structure with 5 components to off an alarm clock.Imagine one big big machine just to off one small pathetic alarm clock, when the alarm clock is just a slam away. =s Each components will carry out on motion.
The 5 motions are:
1. Rotating (under a fixed axis)
2. Falling under gravity through air
3. Oscillating ( 1 full period)
4. Sliding
5 Rolling

It seems easy, but with a few extra rules, it just kills the fun from this experiment. First, no motion can be repeated. 2nd, only one motion can be executed at one time. 3rd, only ONE object for One motion. 4th, everything must be limited to a 1m x 1m space. 1m might seem long, but when you have a box which is already half a meter, 1m is just damn bloody small. 5th, is the worst rule, the whole thing must be at least 20 seconds. It was the longest 20 second of everyone's life. We had to try to lengthen our motions to fullfill the 20 sec.

Our first one took a pathetic 5 sec to complete all 5 motions. We were just worried, how the hell are you going to make it 20 sec? it is impossible! We modified our whole structure, actually i will reconsider it rebuild. It took us the whole weekend.

This was our initial track for the sliding.



Then we changed the whole track



This was our initial large cone, where the marble was suppose to roll and roll and roll till the bottom



But the time was not long enough, and the cone was damn bloody large, so we changed to pipe. Wrapping it around the box.



So from our big big big structure, which is as 'tall' as me, and requires a ladder



we build something till around me shoulder.



I know the structure is quite ugly, but we used everything we had at home. My mother called our structure  raw, saying we reuse all the material, when we are to build our own structure, with woods, bamboo and yada yada yada. But who cares, ours work well. It was a success!

Overview of the structure.

Labour Day

May 1st = Labour Day = Holiday.
This says all. Everyone is on a holiday, but the malls seems to be working OT. Practically all the malls are packed with people, guess this is how people waste their time when they have no work. They don't seem to mind being trapped in the jam to go shopping. Everyone seems to be in a very good mood, that i was a little annoyed when everyone was being nice when i was driving. They were being gentlemen, slowing down and giving me way. Not that im complaining but this rarely occurs, everyone seems to be rushing somewhere always. It was just rather awkward when everyone is being Mr Nice all of a sudden.

One more month before my Sem ends. Everything seems to be piling with all the assignments due on the 11th week. Subject after subject, completing one task after another... This is why i have been pulling the 'disappearing' act recently, but it seems, to a lot of people, i have been disappearing for a rather long time. But i really have no idea why... =p

Been a labour the whole day, im dead.
