I'm BACK!!!! and school SUCKS!!!
Yup, your Captain's back and ready to fly this little plane through the journey of a fucked up life. And guess what, school reopens today, with a English test nonetheless.
Before going into everything else, let me just brief you on what we did on Friday and then what we did after that.
Friday, Last Day.
We woke up early to get to CMCT to sign the guestbook, and after that, it was off to Higginsbotham to get our books. It was a huge disappointment, really. There was no fantasy section, the fiction section was too small for comfort and the medical books were expensive like hell.
So we headed to Madras Medical College, where there was 1 medical bookstore where we went shopping spree for medical books. When we got home to pack, my luggage weighed a ton and need two man to load it unto the taxi. Sad.
So what medical books did I buy?
1. Davidsons RM90
2. MERCK RM120
3. Oxford Clinical... RM31
4. Netters RM160
5. Snell RM150
Not bad at all, I would say.
When I went to Chennai, my bag weighed about 16kg not inculding the food we packed. When I returned it was 33kg. You guys do the maths about how heavy were the books.
Anyway, I'm a happy kid.
Grass and I stoned till about 11 o'clock the next morning. I had nasi lemak (m'sian food the best) and for lunch, good, delicious, BAH KUT TEH!!! After 2 weeks of vegetarian meals, MEAT was delicious, not caring if it was fat or anything.
And now, I'm here blogging after an hour of slogging and trying to form proper sentences for that stupid English test. The grammar part was dirt easy, and then came the writing part and the letter was crap.
Plastic bags and paper bags???? I went into debate mode straight away.
Dear sir,
In reference to above mention, I would say that plastic bags are the way to go and I will provide comparisons with paperbags in the following 5 issues: durability, being water proof, carrying capability, recycleability and environmental-friendliness.
bla...bla...bla...
I admit that plastic bags are not recycleable and environmental-friendly. But M2/03 Supermarket is a money making corporation. Profitting is front most in our minds. Recycleability and environmental-friendliness are but minor details left to society's discretion.
So what have I shown you? I have shown you that plastic bags are the way to go in terms of durability, being water proof and carrying capacity. So I stand by my stand that plastic bags are the way to go and would benefit us greatly.
Haha, the second one was lagi funny. Below is like the few highlights from it.
Dr. Jody is a plastic surgeon who has made a name for himself in the world of plastic surgeons. His patients come screaming about how their husbands left them because their nose is crooked, or about how the ladies in the club insult them because they have small breasts. They come with one basic request. "Doctor, make me beautiful."
Which earned him the name Dr-Make-Me-Beautiful.
Dr. Jody prided himself to be able to perform miracles, like transforming the ugliest pig to an angel of Heavens. But he did not expect Adeline Gong.
The good doctor was at his office that summer morning where the sun was shining and a robin was chirping outside his window. He just had his breakfast and coffee and announced for his first patient. The moment Adeline Gong entered the room, rainclouds blew over the sun and the bird died in half-chirp. The doctor's breakfast threatened to hurl.
The lady looked like a marshmallow, fats sagging in all direction. Her limbs were like a penguins and her neck was hidden beneath two wobbly chins. And that was the good part about her. No words could describe the horror above that neck.
The face would make an ugly troll look like a glorified seraphim. It would put the toad to shame for being the ugliest thing in the world. How could the Hand that made the beauty of a rose craft such ugly a being?
Being the good doctor, he listened to the lady's sob-story about how she had fell in love with this man of a noble house and wanted the man to fall in love with her. And she screamed the four words into his face.
"Doctor, make me beautiful!!"
A friend once told him: "A paedetrician deals with screaming children, an O & G doctor deals with screaming women, a plastic surgeon deals with ugly, fat, old, screaming women!" The saying never sounded so true in all his 20 years of plastic surgery.
But bound to the Hippocratis Oath he took, Dr. Jody proceeded to try to help the lady. Adeline Gong underwent a four hour surgery and woke up with bright light in her eyes. She scrambled for a mirror and her eyes widened in confusion. She looked at the doctor who stood nearby.
Dr. Jody said solemnly, "Believe me, I've been working as a plastic surgeon for 20 years. This is the best I could do."
Adeline Gong was wearing a paper bag over her head with two holes of eyes.
Talk about dumb English test.
But it was no big deal to me anyway. I still come to IMU and barely 2 hours and I could feel the pressure forcing down on me. Argh!!! I hate studying.
How was the holidays? someone asked.
Well, it was pretty good. I've worked, had my fair share of downloading mangas, songs, movies. I've gone with 2 very good friends to Chennai where I had no adults to nag nag nag (tho I don mind the nagging from Yeep and Grass cos I tend to ignore them) and I actually enjoyed the two weeks with them.
It may be tiring, but it was tiring in a fun way. There are no worries, no responsibilities (all pushed to Yeep and Grass, hehe), just a good time of fellowship and just hanging loose. We do what we want to do, stone when we want to.
The holiday's been great. Thanks to Grass and YeeP. Haha. I'm not sorry for being a pest during those 14 days. Haha.
It's good while it lasted. But now I'm back here again.
Preparing for another war not far into the distance.
We've come far together, my men. Fought countless battles and it is our strength of unity that brought us here today. Many comrades had fallen, but we have survived and together. So let us march forth to greet this morning of a new world with heads held high. Let us raise our banner to challenge the days to come!
Selphie: I had such a nice dream...
Squall: I didn't...I dreamt I was a moron...
