Updates and more updates.

Damn... finally lost count on day no. wat of my blogging life. Watever... anyone pls help me keep count if possible, but who cares...
It has been like 4 days since I last update, and I have a very relevant excuses:
Friday is right after Sum2, was too depressed to blog.Did not understand questions cos using jargons. CNS manefestation... i tot the drugs transformed or sth in the CNS, so i created drugs names. Congenital... no idea wat it was...sigh.
Sat&Sun is weekend. Modem mampus dee. So too bad lar.
So today finally can update, and man... damn a lot to blog about. But let's keep it short shall we.

What am I going to do in this blog...
First, I'm going to give you all something I found somewhere.
Second, CPR.
Third, sth about pharmacists.
Fourth, movies

First item
Everyone has their weakness,
So what might drive you wild?
Could it be the touch of skin on your fingertips?
A long, honed body?
Firm sensuous curves?
A deep, responsive purr?
Or, do you simply like the feeling of raw power?


Before you go any further, just sit back and wonder what is this all about? I did not write this, I found it somewhere and tot maybe I can share it with you guys. Most of you should have read it, but some havent. It's an advertisement, and many of my pals went wondering if it is an advertisement for a brothel or something... Guess again guys.
This is written on letters written to potential customers and these customers are hoping to sue the company. And this company is *drumroll* the car-maker Jaguar. But i find it really cool as how you can describe a car with such sensual words. Hmmm... will try to think one for my fav car: Lamborghini Murcielargo.

Second item
CPR sucks, and I really meant suck. You are supposed to blow into the mouth but somehow I ended up sucking air and God, the spirit and alcohol... Argh!!! And not mention tons of bacteria and viruses and protozoas millions of ppl had blow into that old aunty's lungs. ARGH!!!!!!
Actually it did not start out so bad. Reached IMU at 8.30am, tot I was late, but guess who's later? No prizes for that guess. So we, being young youth, sat down and talk. I bet you guys did not know that Vasan has such an un-innocent mind as we were led to believe. We were talking about Porn and parents doing ahem, about watching a kissing scene on TV with parents around... the usual things medical students like us usually talk about...
Then it was nap time through the whole video thingy and then hands on practise. Wasn't that bad. Then the exam... that's where everything went down and down and down...
I started at the adult CPR.
E is examiner, I is I.
E : Ok, Elena. This aunty of yours has been sleeping the whole day. Call her wake up.
I : (shaking the fake body) Wei, aunty. Qi lai! Wake up. Don't play play.
E : She did not wake up.
I : Oh crap. (Do the ABC thingy. Then must be give breath. Poised to do it... and then looked up.) Is this cleaned?
E : (roll eyes) Yes.
I : Oh. (Then proceed to totally screw up.)
E : Elena, go to the back of the hall, sit down and think of what to do.
I : (look at the body) Damn bitch.
Then i was called to the choking one. The examiner is nice. So no problem with that.
Then it was back to the CPR adult again.
E : Ok, bitch is sleeping. Wake her up.
I : (pretending to be very concern). Oi, aunty, wake up. must eat lunch. (hit bitch on head, hurt my fingers) Oi, bitch wake up!
E : (rolling eyes)Continue to CPR.
I : (Did everything. But air cannot get into lungs) Damn, airway.
E : Tilt the head back more.
As you guys know, the body is dammit heavy, and dammit hard to tilt.
I : (try to tilt more) Move damn bitch!!! (Finally can, and proceed. Only to suck in air at second blow) Cough, cough, hack, hack. What the fuck!!!
So that is to say, my CPR adult exam is a sure fail.
At the baby, it wasn't so bad. Nearly killed the baby but snapping the head back to roughly. The 5 back blows would be sufficient to give the baby blue back for weeks (examiner's words. Not mine). So all in all... my CPR may not be as eventful as Sheena's but it is safe to say that Failure is AN option.

Third item
Pharmacists are in a way legal drug pushers, no? A pastor pointed it out to me the other day.

Fourth item
Movies to watch: SHREK 2 is simply hilarious. Look out for Puss. Antonio Banderas has the sexiest voice of all the actors in the world. Don't you think he look good too? In a dark, sexy type of way... hmmm.
Day after Tomorrow. Talk about having a hilarious plot. And its not a comedy. Its just that the plot is so...-I don't know-. But its a must see. The effects are good, the cinematography excellent.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabhan!!! Can't wait to see this!!!!
But with the school holidays happening now, it will be freaking hard to get tickets. The eticketing and tel booking do not have harry potter up yet, so booking is a forget-it. Argh!!! I want to have premier tickets. Why cant HitzFM host the movie? Then i can get it for free!!!. Damnit! Damnit! Damnit! *start throwing a tantrum. Screaming and yelling head off* ARGH!!!!!
*recollect self* Yes, where was I? Oh, I saw the sneak preview of HP yesterday. Can't believe how beautiful Emma Watson has grown up to be. Ron still sucks. My mom said Daniel Radcliffe is handsome. Hmm... wrong age group. She asked my brother to cut his hair to be like Harry's hairstyle. Excuse me, Prem... since you are the hugest Fan of HP that I know of, do you know who his stylist is?
The new dumbledore looks ok. Added some spice into the movie.
And Trelawney is acted by Emma Thompson. Izzit just me, or izzit just her that i noticed acting for characters that are all cuckoo!.Take for example the doctor in Junior. Hmm...
David Thewlis - Prof Lupin looks like Hitler. Donno why.Must be that tiny moustouch(how the freaking hell to you spell moustache?)
Tom Felton - Draco sucks in this movie. Don't like his hair style. Tho at the beginning it wasnt that bad.
Ok, enuff of Harry Potter. One may think that I'm a fan or something.

Just a small sidenote. HP and TGOF started filming at 22 March 2004 in Glencoe. The 3 of them still acting. Brendan Gleeson is acting as Mad-Eye Moody. He acted as Menelaus in Troy, so those who watched Troy, is he a good actor? Or he just suck?

Coming soon must watch:
HARRY POTTER
Spiderman2
Garfield the Movie
Chinese movie that has Nicholas Tse acting in.

Any more? Hmm...

Now with the school holidays on and such, going to the movies is really a bad idea as the queue is so dammit long everywhere. Booking the tic is the only way to go, but those reserve tickets are also selling out fast. So a small advice to those going to watch movies, try for the 11 o'clock movie or midnight movie. You may get lucky.

Anthing else to add? Seemed to be able to spend more time to blog... wonder why...
*look around* Oh, now I realise. No Richard is glaring at me to study!!! *do cartwheels around and leaping into air* Yay!!! No need to study!!!
It's a hap, hap, happy day!!!
There is no lectures today!!!
Let's all go out for fun and play!
It's time for holiday!!!

*Tumble to the ground* Crap, don't we have druhba or sth today and 3 f**king lectures?! Oh shyucks!!! Dammit man.

I think its best I sign off now, i think. You readers have much places to go. See you then, and dropping you guys off with something else to think about,
"Why build knowing destruction is inevitable,
why yearn live knowing all things must die?"

Electronic Entertainment Expo

7th day of my blogging day. I deserve a rest, a Sabbath day.

I'm halfway thru my studying, as my upper half, so I'm leaving the rest to God to help. *goes on my knees and pray reverently* As you guys know, I must be sitting with the rest of the KBSR studying, but what the hell, I'm too full to start studying.
I seem to have come up with many excuse not to study. I can't study wen I'm full, wen I'm hungry, wen I'm sleepy(which is almost every minute)...so i seem to can't time wen I'm OK to study. Hmmm...

Some of you would know that I took part in a News Strait Times story-writing competition, and unfortunately, I did not win. Disappointed, I was, but there are winners and there are losers. The winning article is right here. What pisses me off is that i stand to win 100,000 euros and I just threw it all away. For those who have read MY story, compare it with hers please and point out my faults.And for those who wants to read mine, just leave a comment and i will pin it up somewhere.

Ok, blog for the day. And I've picked my most favourite topic to blog about. If this comes up for tmr's summative, I'm a sure A scorer. And my favourite topic is...GAMES!!! *spotlight swings to title* and the biggest hype in the gaming industry now is the Electronic Entertainment Expo also known as E3 in short.

For those who are not interested, the journey for today is over. The bus now stops at the links to the other blogs so you guys can get on to seeing your other friends blogs, and for those interested with the E3, you guys are welcome to stay on the bus... and away we go.

E3 is one of the hugest game convention in the world, drawing attention of all producers and gamers alike to participate in this event. This is one of the few chances where we get to see cool and upcoming happening games, play them and of course to see the new excellent hardwares. But too bad, its not opened for public.
E3 is a trade event and only professionals from the industry will be allowed to attend. So you guys can see how professional E3 is. One of my friends just told me that E3 is also a place for you guys to check out the booth girls, dressed in games' costumes and some are super revealing. Talk about publicity.
E3 was first held in 1995 and video games were only 16-bit games. Most gamers will know how sucky 16-bit is. 3-D is not the norm, its like some super excellent graphics that would have gamers gawking and worshiping the game. But that is then, 1995, year of the Micro-genius and Gameboys.

And now...2004.

E3 2004 was held recently at the Los Angelos Convention Centre from May 12 to 14. and being the 10th Anniversary, this E3 is one of the coolest E3 ever, drawing up to 400 exhibitors to exhibit games and hardwares, and 65,000 attendees from all over the world. Adam Sadler(guy from TechTV X-play) played Host it was certainly happening, with new cool games (Metal Gear Acidic, Kingdom Hearts 2, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XII!!!) and equally cool hardwares (PlayStationPortable!!!)

FINAL FANTASY XII



FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN
Compare with

KINGDOM HEARTS 2


FULL METAL ALCHEMIST


PLAYSTATION PORTABLE


May 14, that is like 2 weeks ago. All of you may think that all the hype may have died down, but no, it is still going strong. With the E3 2004 over, its time for the E3 awards to come and just yesterday, the list of nominees have just been posted up and everywhere, heated players are placing bets - me included, but playing very small. RM10 only, no money dee.
What E3 awards, most of you ppl ask. Ok, there are many E3 awards, almost each game magazines and game websites have their own E3 awards, but the E3 awards that is having all gamers up in hype is the prestigious Game Critics Award, one of the highest award that can be given to any games.
And the judges, all the top reporters from all the famous magazines, games and non-gaming eg Washington Post, Newsweek, TIME mag, USA Today, CNN...you get my drift. This is how prestigious this award can be. Its almost equivalent to the Academy Awards.
The E3 award is given based on categories and in 2004, the categories to be contested are:
Best of Show
Best Original Game
Best PC Game
Best Console Game
Best Peripheral / Hardware
Best Action Game
Best Action/Adventure Game
Best Fighting Game
Best Role Playing Game
Best Racing Game
Best Simulation Game
Best Sports Game
Best Strategy Game
Best Puzzle/Trivia/Parlor Game
Best Online Multiplayer Game
Special Commendation for Graphics
Special Commendation for Sound

And usually, all this games that win the awards are really nice games to play. So chances are that these winners will be the one bringing in the money to their respective publishers. So that is what is getting all these gamers hyped up. We want to play the winning games!!!

I think that is enough on E3, but I am just excited. But it was good when it lasted, and i must now go back to trudge through my pathetic work.
Signing off with a quote for you to ponder:
There are many people in various places. You act differently towards
many. You're always searching for yourself. What kind of ``you'' do
you like? And what kind of ``you'' do you want to be? I hope you find
the right ``you.'' Good luck to you.

Stethoscope.

My 6th day of my blogging life.
I see its quite 'happening'. But sigh... beggars cant be choosers. The summative draws ever closer, hounding me like wolves. Must study, must study...this litany is useless. Grr...

Ok, you guys know what is the stethoschope right. Oh, don't think that I suddenly have the urge to start lecturing medical stuff, but this came up in CG today. We were talking about famous christian doctors and suddenly this name came up: Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec. Tell me if any of you knew who was that. We - the whole CG - didnot. Grace started by saying that he was famous for cirrhosis, false membrane and tuberculosis. He died of TB (which led me to believe that if you are a cardiologist, you'll die of cardiac problems, and if you happen to be a gyneacologist, you'll die of STD. But that is beside the point.
About him discovering the stethoscope. Last time, doctors perform immediate asculation, ie put ear on chest. So this Rene guy is young doctor and his patient is a huge chested young girl. So one thing led to another. He don wan to put ear on chest. Mah he roll a stack of papers and put the papers on the girl's chest. So that was the first stethoscope.

Whew... the things we learn in CG.

And we prayed for Grace's wedding which is this Sunday. You don't believe me? Ask the CG members, they'll tell you. I pray for the wedding myself. Hope that everything goes fine with her wedding. Pray that God will bless this holy matrimony and both husband and wife will be happy ever after.

Have you guys went to KenRhee's blog, the one with poems? I have the link here, go read the one he wrote using SHEENA as the first letters of every line. And I did the same right here:
She walks with beauty in the night,
Holding her head up in silvery delight.
Every step she takes, she nears to me,
Enchantress, epitome of sensuality.
Naked, she breathes upon my upturned face,
And behold, I hold a Goddess in my embrace.

Hey, I'm pretty good. Except I have the wrong sexual orientation here. Just imagine a guy writing tis.
You guys should also check out Siaw's site. If you possibly can get it from him. Can't post the link here tho. Gave him my promise. The fella's poetic streak is...GOD...damn blardy good.

Oh, got to go soon. Study time.
So here I leave you with another quote:
Things remembered when one is asleep...Things forgotten when one is awake...
Where the deepest layers of memories become the outmost layers of one's
dreams... Which are reality? Which are illusions? One cannot tell until one
awakes... Or perhaps they are, at the same time, both Truth and fiction...

A Bedtime Story...

This is the 5th day of my blogging life and pretty soon, I will be losing count as my days are shortened to doing nothing but study. Oh don't forget blogging too. Do you guys know the reason I blog and drive the bus that takes you guys through my F**ked Up life? It's becos of you guys la. You guys are my inspiration, my main motivators. If there is no readers, why write?
An author once said: The readers are who you are writing to, and who you are writing for. Welcome them. So just let your presence be felt in this bus. Maybe a 'Hi' or a 'You suck'. But at least I know you were here.
Thank you.

Ok, coming back to my main post for the day. (Restricted to only one per day, Richard's glaring away). Something that caught my attention in lecture today. Oh no, this is not the part that the title 'Bedtime Story' comes in. Not yet.
It was in Paul Chen's lecture, where he said something about there are lazy ppl in IMU and do not mix with these lazy ppl as they will make you lazy. I have nothing to say to that, but just a small notice: I am LAZY!!! I'll rather blog than study. And then Paul Chen continued with saying that these lazies always fail. EXCUSE ME?!!! That is so like unwarranted generalisation. *pick up papa patho and whacked him across the back of the head* Hrmph!!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Sheena into KBSR. What is KBSR? most of you would be asking. Well, KBSR was founded by Richard G. Lee a few weeks before Summative 1 and boasts of excellent students like Richard, Yuhana, and of course ME. *covers head from assaults* KBSR stands for Kelab Belajar Sesama Richard (Study with Richard Club) and the HQ for this KBSR is in IMU Library. We are quite a closely knitted group, usually sharing our notes and such. The one and only benefit of me joining this Club is that I have Richard as my tutor. Currently, the club has members, namely Richard, Victor, YeeSin, Aishah, Yuhana, me and our newcomer: Sarah Sheena Toyat.
If anyone interested to join, just look us up at the nearest IMU Library.

And now, this is where the title: A bedtime Story comes in.
I do not if any of you have received this email but i have asked a few frens and they said no. So what the hell, i decided to just put it up. I found it this morning and i want to share it with you guys.
As most of you know, I hate Americans. They are not bad actually, its only one person that screwed up my whole preception of Americans. Yes, you've guessed it. George W. Bush. That fella is a moron - you guys have to agree with me on that - that fella is born an asshole and will die an asshole. But you cant blame him being a useless flea on a mongrel's ass. The whole US Congress is a disaster waiting to happen. I have to agree with this quote I've heard somewhere: If CON is the opposite of PRO, then CONgress is the opposite of PROgress.Which is true, i would say.
After reading this bedtime story, told by a father to his little boy, you'll see that Americans are just hypocrites. And for the debaters, this may be a good place to get some motions to debate on.
Well, just tuck yourself in bed and listen to the story.
Q is the boy, A is the useless piece of flesh Q calls father.
Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?
A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction, honey.
Q: But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.
A: That's because the Iraqis were hiding them.
Q: And that's why we invaded Iraq?
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.
Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?
A: That's because the weapons are so well hidden. Don't worry, we'll find something, probably right before the 2004 election.
Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?
A: To use them in a war, silly.
Q: I'm confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in a war, then why didn't they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them?
A: Well, obviously they didn't want anyone to know they had those weapons so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves.
Q: That doesn't make sense Daddy. Why would they choose to die if they had all those big weapons to fight us back with?
A: It's a different culture. It's not supposed to make sense.
Q: I don't know about you, but I don't think they had any of those weapons our government said they did.
A: Well, you know, it doesn't matter whether or not they had those weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway.
Q: And what was that?
A: Even if Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invade another country.
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country?
A: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people.
Q: Kind of like what they do in China?
A: Don't go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer.
Q: So if a country lets its people be exploited for American corporate gain, it's a good country, even if that country tortures people?
A: Right.
Q: Why were people in Iraq being tortured?
A: For political crimes, mostly, like criticizing the government. People who criticized the government in Iraq were sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Isn't that exactly what happens in China?
A: I told you, China is different.
Q: What's the difference between China and Iraq?
A: Well, for one thing, Iraq was ruled by the Ba'ath party, while China is Communist.
Q: Didn't you once tell me Communists were bad?
A: No, just Cuban Communists are bad.
Q: How are the Cuban Communists bad?
A: Well, for one thing, people who criticize the government in Cuba are sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Like in Iraq?
A: Exactly.
Q: And like in China, too?
A: I told you, China's a good economic competitor. Cuba, on the other hand, is not.
Q: How come Cuba isn't a good economic competitor?
A: Well, you see, back in the early 1960s, our government passed some laws that made it illegal for Americans to trade or do any business with Cuba until they stopped being Communists and started being capitalists like us.
Q: But if we got rid of those laws, opened up trade with Cuba, and started doing business with them, wouldn't that help the Cubans become capitalists?
A: Don't be a smart-ass.
Q: I didn't think I was being one.
A: Well, anyway, they also don't have freedom of religion in Cuba.
Q: Kind of like China and the Falun Gong movement?
A: I told you, stop saying bad things about China. Anyway, Saddam Hussein came to power through a military coup, so he's not really a legitimate leader anyway.
Q: What's a military coup?
A: That's when a military general takes over the government of a country by force, instead of holding free elections like we do in the United States.
Q: Didn't the ruler of Pakistan come to power by a military coup?
A: You mean General Pervez Musharraf? Uh, yeah, he did, but Pakistan is our friend.
Q: Why is Pakistan our friend if their leader is illegitimate?
A: I never said Pervez Musharraf was illegitimate.
Q: Didn't you just say a military general who comes to power by forcibly overthrowing the legitimate government of a nation is an illegitimate leader?
A: Only Saddam Hussein. Pervez Musharraf is our friend, because he helped us invade Afghanistan.
Q: Why did we invade Afghanistan?
A: Because of what they did to us on September 11th.
Q: What did Afghanistan do to us on September 11th?
A: Well, on September 11th, nineteen men, Fifteen of them Saudi Arabians, hijacked four airplanes and flew three of them into buildings, killing over 3,000 Americans.
Q: So how did Afghanistan figure into all that?
A: Afghanistan was where those bad men trained, under the oppressive rule of the Taliban.
Q: Aren't the Taliban those bad radical Islamics who chopped off people's heads and hands?
A: Yes, that's exactly who they were. Not only did they chop off people's heads and hands, but they oppressed women, too.
Q: Didn't the Bush administration give the Taliban 43 million dollars back in May of 2001?
A: Yes, but that money was a reward because they did such a good job fighting drugs.
Q: Fighting drugs?
A: Yes, the Taliban were very helpful in stopping people from growing opium poppies.
Q: How did they do such a good job?
A: Simple. If people were caught growing opium poppies, the Taliban would have their hands and heads cut off.
Q: So, when the Taliban cut off people's heads and hands for growing flowers, that was OK, but not if they cut people's heads and hands off for other reasons?
A: Yes. It's OK with us if radical Islamic fundamentalists cut off people's hands for growing flowers, but it's cruel if they cut off people's hands for stealing bread.
Q: Don't they also cut off people's hands and heads in Saudi Arabia?
A: That's different. Afghanistan was ruled by a tyrannical patriarchy that oppressed women and forced them to wear burqas whenever they were in public, with death by stoning as the penalty for women who did not comply.
Q: Don't Saudi women have to wear burqas in public, too?
A: No, Saudi women merely wear a traditional Islamic body covering.
Q: What's the difference?
A: The traditional Islamic covering worn by Saudi women is a modest yet fashionable garment that covers all of a woman's body except for her eyes and fingers. The burqa, on the other hand, is an evil tool of patriarchal oppression that covers all of a woman's body except for her eyes and fingers.
Q: It sounds like the same thing with a different name.
A: Now, don't go comparing Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are our friends.
Q: But I thought you said 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11th were from Saudi Arabia.
A: Yes, but they trained in Afghanistan.
Q: Who trained them?
A: A very bad man named Osama bin Laden.
Q: Was he from Afghanistan?
A: Uh, no, he was from Saudi Arabia too. But he was a bad man, a very bad man.
Q: I seem to recall he was our friend once.
A: Only when we helped him and the mujahadeen repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back in the 1980s.
Q: Who are the Soviets? Was that the Evil Communist Empire Ronald Reagan talked about?
A: There are no more Soviets. The Soviet Union broke up in 1990 or thereabouts, and now they have elections and capitalism like us. We call them Russians now.
Q: So the Soviets -- I mean, the Russians -- are now our friends?
A: Well, not really. You see, they were our friends for many years after they stopped being Soviets, but then they decided not to support our invasion of Iraq, so we're mad at them now. We're also mad at the French and the Germans because they didn't help us invade Iraq either.
Q: So the French and Germans are evil, too?
A: Not exactly evil, but just bad enough that we had to rename French fries and French toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast.
Q: Do we always rename foods whenever another country doesn't do what we want them to do?
A: No, we just do that to our friends. Our enemies, we invade.
Q: But wasn't Iraq one of our friends back in the 1980s?
A: Well, yeah. For a while.
Q: Was Saddam Hussein ruler of Iraq back then?
A: Yes, but at the time he was fighting against Iran, which made him our friend, temporarily.
Q: Why did that make him our friend?
A: Because at that time, Iran was our enemy.
Q: Isn't that when he gassed the Kurds?
A: Yeah, but since he was fighting against Iran at the time, we looked the other way, to show him we were his friend.
Q: So anyone who fights against one of our enemies automatically becomes our friend?
A: Most of the time, yes.
Q: And anyone who fights against one of our friends is automatically an enemy?
A: Sometimes that's true, too. However, if American corporations can profit by selling weapons to both sides at the same time, all the better.
Q: Why?
A: Because war is good for the economy, which means war is good for America. Also, since God is on America's side, anyone who opposes war is a godless un-American Communist. Do you understand now why we attacked Iraq?
Q: I think so. We attacked them because God wanted us to, right?
A: Yes.
Q: But how did we know God wanted us to attack Iraq?
A: Well, you see, God personally speaks to George W. Bush and tells him what to do.
Q: So basically, what you're saying is that we attacked Iraq because George W. Bush hears voices in his head?
A. Yes! You finally understand how the world works. Now close your eyes, make yourself comfortable, and go to sleep. Good night.
Q: Good night, Daddy.

So now you would have to agree with me that Americans are just fakers determined to rule the world. Grrr...

I think that is enough for the day, don't you think? You would have many more other blogs to visit, so I'll leave you guys to just jump around.
Signing off with,
If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be
destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh!!

The Start of Studying for Summative 2.

Day 4 of my Blogging Life.

I've been juggling with some HTMLs of this blog, made some changes, yet the changes are subtle. Sorry, Yee Pei, linked you earlier, but got copied over by Sheena's link. My bad, my bad.
I noticed many passengers on board the bus for the journey through my F**ked Up Life. Is it that interesting? But don't look me wrong, i am grateful for you all taking your time to leave a stain on my rug of life. Sounds bad, but actually its a cool quote.

Going to be brief. Today I officially start studying for Sum2 which is at the end of this week. I know, it's late, but better late than never. But then, I have Richard as my tutor who got me memorising all the classes/groups of viruses and the viruses in less than 30mins and with me reading a manga. Is he a good tutor or not?

It's confirmed. My poor file has gone missing, along with my lecture notes, my notes of the upcoming book, and the receipts for the IVF stuffs. Yao Peh is gonna kill me, but then I don't have to come up with proof stating why so much money allocated for useless stuffs. RM80 for a small banner, RM240 for prizes... Sheena, you get what I'm trying to say right? I bet the future treasurer does too.

I was talking with a friend just now who asked me a very interesting question. He asked me to show him my inner self that someone as bragged about. That led to many questions like "I actually have an inner self? Wow!" and "You want to see my inner self, as in underneath my clothes?" but that's beside the point.The conversation didnot go deeper than my clothes. Then he said that the someone said that I have a nice inner self that is nicer than my outer self. That sent me into a coughing fit which ended with me choking.

Me nice? Erm, since when?

I would like to post this question to all of you passengers on the bus: Can you help me describe my outer self? As in my superficial outer shell? And do you guys believe i have a nicer self? I mean, outside, I'm already so nice... can I be anymore nicer?
I won't term myself as caring and nice, but the someone insists i am. This is the first time I receive such a compliment, so I do not know where to feel glad or insulted. Hehehe...Enlighten me.

I've got to go. This painful to have Richard pulling at my ear to demand that I study. So adios...
And with another quote for you guys to ponder:
Life fears death,
but lives only to die.

It starts with anxiety.
Anxiety becomes fear.
Fear leads to anger...
anger leads to hate...
hate leads to suffering...

The only cure for this fear
is total destruction.

Do Animals Think

Day No.2 of my Blogging life.

Found another competition in the New Straits Times. Write an essay on the question: Do Animals Think? Wonder if KenJay would be interested. It also got me wondering, do Animals think? I could be cheeky and say yes, animals do think. Humans are basically animals, and humans are capable of thinking, therefore animals do think.
You know, the principle of humans = animals, humans - think, therefore animals - think.
Right? Then what is there to argue.
So I decided to redefine everything. According to the Oxford Students Dictionary, ‘ANIMAL’ is defined as a living thing that can feel and move about, from the tiniest paramecium to us humans and to the gigantic blue whale. We known humans do think, and maybe the blue whale do think. But the bacteria? Can't see myself looking at a bacteria thru a microscope and the bacteria looking back at me thinking, "What a huge asshole!!" Or maybe not.
And then there is defining the word 'think'. Is it the ability to follow one’s senses and needs to perform tasks? Or are you defining it in the concept of Man – the ability to use the mind to make logical and sound decisions, to know what’s right and wrong?
Read an article somewhere that states how could animals not think and manage to survive in the world? Hmm... it gets me thinking too. Some people actually believes that their dogs and cats possess superintelligent powers. So I look at my dog and when he barks, he is actually telling me "Hey, I'm smarter than you, you know? You don't even understand me while I can understand you." Ouch! If that is what my dog's telling me, then screw him. God gave me dominiance over him.
Coming back to the question of do Animals think? Will sleep on it tonight, type the article tmr and maybe post it on somewhere.

You must be wondering why am I so free, with Summative 2 looming ahead. Well, tis becos I lost my files along with my notes. Thought it was at home, but in reality, it must be sitting in a box in the Lost and Found corner of the S.A.D. Damn sad man. Can only read neoplasia notes.

About kickboxing. Talk about really hitting sth hard. The instructor, this really familiar looking guy name Akira (me thinks he looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro slightly. Must be playing to much onimusha3) He was shouting, more power. And the first face that came to mind was Peter Pook. So with Pook's face on the bag, whallop. The bag went flying. Now that's power. And the kicking. Damn tiring. When we do a front push(ie front kick), we are supposed to aim for the midsection of the bag. But with my short legs and all, managed to kick the lower part of the bag, ie the groin area. For me, that's enough self-defence.
Anyway, it was fun, so Zhi Yi's safe. Planning to go as a regular after Sum2.

Signing off with another quote about my life.
Life... Dreams... Hope...
Where'd they come from...
And where are they headed?
These things... I am going to destroy!

In the beginning....

Started blogging thanks to Sheena's 'encouragement'. She said its addictive, and i see no way it can be addictive. Let's keep this simple first before i start insulting everyone.

The first thing i've got to do is intro myself.
The name's Elena, an insignificant girl who would one day be (drum-roll) the world-famous girl!!!(Applause and cheers of awe)
PERASAN!!!!
Ok, my friends call me a lot of things. Ali is one of my many nicks and a more famous one is: Ali bin Abu bin Aladdin bin Abu Bakar. And my IMU buddies, you are not allowed to call me tat.
Some had called me mini-Lucifer(noticed the past tense?They didnot live to tell the tale)
That brings me to the point where i point out that Lucifer means Bringer of Light. That ain't such a bad thing, ain't it? Sometimes i can't help but feel a little sorry for that guy. Let me quote Samuel Butler: "An apology for the Devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books."

Anyways, coming back to my introduction.
Wat else is there to be known bout me? Those who do not know me do not deserve to be reading this. Hehe... Watever man.

Just realised sth. Sheena, your template and mine same lar. Aw, shit. Can't bother to change it. Maybe someday when i finish designing my template.

Ok, introduction over... now to the real blogging.

Day Number 1 in my blogging life is today and what happened to me today...
Was supposed to be studying. Richard's giving me the evil eye, trying to get me to study. But I was too caught up in playing with htmls. Then decided why not just start a blog. But be forewarned: The most boring blog in the century is an understatement for this blog.
So started up the blog, screwed around with the template and wahla!!! My blog entitled A Journey through my F**ked Up Life. But then as i served through most of my pals' blog, I noticed that I am an idiot in this bloggin business. Wonder if Vasan has a book called An Idiot/Dummy's Guide to Blogging. But still, i'm here to learn so enlightened me. I am an empty book. (Or was it some other phrase.)

Going for kickboxing later. Hope it's interesting, or I'll kill Zhi Yi(How do you spell his name, Sheena?) Will maybe blog later or screw it and let this blog die. Anyhow, Richard's giving me that killer glare again. Gonna study or at least attempt to pretend to study.

Signing off and leaving you readers with this welcoming note:
You stand before the final dimension,
and I am the darkness of eternity...
