Growing 0.15cm - I've married myself to orchids! =)

Again, I'm pretty late in updating my blog.

It's purely due to laziness...=)

Anyways, I've been training under Sarawak Biodiversity Centre since 5th October.

So this is what I did.


Still dunno what the hell did I do for my training?

By the way, you can call me a gardener because that's part of my job. =)


Still not satisfied? Still scratching your head?

Aiyo! I told you I'm a gardener. I keep the plants alive every single day...except for weekends..


And yeah, I plant some orchids too. =) Bad photo quality, my bad...but still the flowers are nice, right?

p/s: I like purple that's why I said it's nice...=x

If you might think what is that fluffy thing or you think that it's sweet floss candy that you happily lick your way through, think again! It's freaking fungus contaminating my experiment! RAWR!

Great! I think I've exposed my job....T.T
Ok la! I'm doing plant tissue culture now. It's actually cutting leaves, stems or roots from parts of the plants and placed in nutrient agar medium to let them grow into new cells and finally regenerate into new plants.

I've tried to explain it as simple as possible..hope you understand..=)

My working bench..=)

You might think that it's dry and boring job..but I like my current training now.

At least my supervisors and the staffs there are friendly..=D

At least, I get to try a lot of new stuff that I have never learnt in my plant tissue culture while I'm in UTAR.

At least, there are girls to glimpse at...opps..=.='' forgive my hormones..

At least, I'm in my lovely hometown now! Kuching food..nyahahahaha!

Alright, enough with my training.

So, what are some other things that I do during my weekends?

I learn how to bake!

Sissy? Lame?

tOOt off to people who thinks that way!

Coz baking is no more limited to girls anymore! Guys who learn to cook and bake will never have to starve themselves to death. =D
First try - Apple pie! Well, it was apple-liciously scrumptious! Though the crust is abit thin and the apples were overly packed inside it...it was still YUM!

I was thinking of pouring half bottle of cinnamon powder into the apples before baking but...too sweet might cause diabetes..so I gave up! =(

Second try - Dark chocolate tart!!!

The crust is abit to hard..=.=''' It's the damn recipe's fault! At first, I put the flour as written inside that book and I had to knit until the mixture became a dough. But it ended up into a sticky mixture...what the hell! So my mom and me had to modify by adding flour and voila! The crust is as hard as rock! =.='' I guess when you hit the tart to the wall, it will definitely bounce back to you.

But still...I like the tart cause of the chocolate...yum!!

I guess that's all for now!

==================

Growing 0.14 cm - Am I a fish seller? o.O

LOL! Finished my finals several weeks ago and I got a B- for my genetics.

Genetics FREAKED me out during my finals. I almost leak out some urine...

=(..

Anyways, I should be grateful for not bringing neither a cat or a dog home...

On the other hand, I've just receive my industrial training since 5th October 2009. Will be ending my training on the 18th December 2009...

It's a busy life everyday..doing experiments and reports...

It's like back to campus life..=.=

But worst of all, I'm working as a FREE labour.

Nonetheless, I shall treat as an experience in the society. Rather than growing mushrooms at home, I learn to mix around with people. =D

Well, everything comes with a price. If you need some things to be fulfilled in your life, you will need an equal trade-off. That's the rule of life, ain't it so?

Oh, recently, some friends commented me as a fish seller.

Still don't get it?

It means I'm selfish..

Am I?

Until a certain extent, I admit it.

Let me illustrate an example.

I borrowed some books from xxx during finals since we are taking the same subject. I need them to do some references.

But I did not return them after a few days or weeks. FYI, we live under the same roof and I was an absent minded kind of person. I did that a couple of times as well.

Because of this, I was termed as selfish.

There are always solutions to every problems. Thus I formulated two methods:

1. xxx could have told me that he/she need the book so badly. Then, I would gladly return the book. The thing is, I asked before I borrow though I did not ask for the last time but after that, I've learned to ask with my mouth.

2. I shall not borrow anything from him/her. The last resort would be the library. At least I don't have to be labeled as selfish by the library. =0

Reasons behind that I may be selfish at times are:

1. I'm the youngest in the family.

2. I seldom care about other people. People MUST care about me instead.

Sounds like a spoil brat, right?

Still, I can't live in the society with such attitude.

People will HATE me as mentioned before.

So instead, I will choose to sell myself. =) Why? Selling myself to others is all about caring and helping those around you.

What goes around comes around..

If you treat people good, someday you will get your rewards even if that person treat you like a piece of shit.

Growing 0.13 cm - I want to survive!

I want to survive,
I want to survive,
I still can't stop wanting to survive,
Guided by the constellations, our eyes meet.

I want to survive,
I am at a loss,
Gently withering away,
But until I show my true self,
I will not sleep.

AND YES! I WILL SURVIVE TILL THE END, YOU BLOODY FINAL EXAMINATIONS! UNTIL THEN, I MUST PERSEVERE AND FIGHT WITH ALL MY MIGHT!

JUST YOU WAIT FINALS! I WILL TAKE MY REVENGE ON YOU! ROAR!!

The end...bye!

T.T... ...

Growing 0.12 cm - My English very good meh?~

Had my moral finals today. I had a sambal bihun ayam nasi belanda kueh tiaw goreng prepared for the lecturer... ...

I wonder if he/she likes it? I need a 7 star rating coz u can't find such dishes anywhere else in the world, right?

Anyways, I was having lunch today with my friends at Secret Brown Cafe at New Town (it's in Kampar, by the way) and FYI, the whole new town has electricity cut-off.

We were eating in a desert...

Soon after we finished eating, my friends started to comment on my english... ...

Not to offense anyone or hao lian (it's hokkien and it means sombong or proud or LCLY), they said I have a good command of english.

I was like o___O... ...

Some of my friends even said my english was too hard to understand whenever they read my blog or whenever they read what I wrote..

I was further 0______________O'''-ed.

I mean seriously, I would like to say thank you for complimenting me..but somehow I could not even utter that two words out from my mouth.

Simply because I was in this state...o___O.

But, still guys, I am still improving my English. I still have difficulty in reading books written by the British lang or simply the caucausians.

Their english is wayyyyyyy professional than me and wayyyyyyy more bombastic than me...

In every sentence, there are always three to four words that I could not understand...

I'm still a learner, ok? T.T But I don't read dictionary laaaa~ =)

So, what I wrote or speak is completely normal English...

*Note: I'm not despising anyone here. It's my personal opinion and I am still IMPROVING my English.

On the other hand... ...

Had a BBQ session with fellow housemates since I don't know how many weeks ago. Paiseh, I completely forgot the time ler...T.T

Me with the dorky look =.='' Not photoshop or whatsoever to make it look nicer or chio-er...sad, eh?

The poser girls. Paiseh, I only have this group photo. Sorry to the other girls. =(

The poser guys. The one without face is busy eating...=.=''

The grilled fish...with a touch of squeezed lime. Yum! Though it's a bit black, but still yum! =)

The food waiting to be cooked or rather BBQ-ed and served into our stomachs.

Not to forget...our birthday girl whose birthday is on xx.xx.1990...You've grown up another year now. =) Stay strong ya! =D

*Note: I put xx sebab I have to jaga her privacy ma...if you wanna know, go ask her lor...

That's all for now...bye!

Growing 0.11 cm - Your future is in whose hands? Fate or You Yourself？

Dear People,

Once again, I've stopped growing. As what Daniel said, I need more fertilizers.

Currently in KL living at my kor's place. It was indeed an enlightening trip for me.

Why?

Coz I learn a lot of things from my two kors place and also from Melilea itself.

Haa~!

One thing that I've learnt is, you may be the leader among students in your campus but you might not be the leader of the society.

That's pretty true.

Well, you may be a chairman of various events and you might be holding various positions in your school and campuses, you might not necessary perform extremely well in the society.

Why?

It's cause in campus, you are only dealing with your peers.

In the society, you're dealing with a whole lot of different scenario. All different kinds of homo sapiens ranging from fat, thin, tall, short, ugly, beautiful and bla bla bla...

You may be able to compromise with or persuade/convince your peers when making a decision with ease but when it comes to serious business in the society, you need not only the skills that I've mentioned before, but also the power to think.

Once you stop thinking, that's when things turned out to be a mess.

So, I'm learning how to grow and face the society now. I'm learning how to build my own crystal clear goal from now. I'm learning to take actions and move towards that goal.

Questions for you to ponder, have you planned what you are going to do in the future after you've graduated? Do have any clear goals in your head or do you wish to live your life as it is and let fate guide you?

Study is important as well but is studying is purely what made up of your life？

You answer all of these yourself. Coz it's your life, not mine.

Think about it.

Be Clear with what you want. When I mean clear, it means crystal clear. =)

Growing 0.10 cm - Blogging Ethics and what not~

RANDOM PHOTO FOR THE DAY! ROCK N' ROLL, Y'ALL!! =D

I've been reading blogs lately and there are one similarity that I've found, most people blog about other people more than they blog what they did.

Get what I mean?

For instance, political blogs blogged about other parties and its people in it. Celebrity bloggers wrote about other people gossips or vent their frustration towards the people they don't like and the same goes to normal bloggers like you and me.

The fact is, there is this blog ethics that start to pop up every now and then. Why? It's coz some bloggers were being treated with "free curry rice" either for a few months, years or maybe forever.

"Gasps..."

Based on my point of view, blogger ethics touch on the matters like, do not critisize the government until you breached the articles stated in ISA, do not throw any sorts of mother-fawking languanges against people as it is consider as a public offense or I define it as cyber offense and what not.

All these restrictions, ironically, seem to grab bloggers' freedom away to blog at all under the daylight.

That is why we have all these pretty normal bloggers blogged about food and where they went for tour just to avoid being bombarded with all sorts of freaking comments from different annonymous which do not want to reveal themselves.

This happens whenever the owner of the blog posted something nasty or unpleasant about one person/organizations who is the friend/colleague of the readers.

And when that happens, everyone seemed to be at cold war when they meet in real life without even giving each others chances to explain.

Some bloggers might protest that, "Ah! It's our freedom to blog what we want! If you don't like to read my blog, then butt off! There're millions (or maybe just a few) people out there waiting to view my blog!"

They're all common bloggers' type of response when they're receiving nasty comments.

In fact, venting your anger on your blogs can be good and bad. The good part is, you can release your anger. The bad part is, you get hated coz your blog is publicize for everyone to view.

Oh geez, if that's the case why don't encrypt your posts so that only people who wants to read can read?

Reasons behind are, I WANT TO GET POPULAR! I WANT THAT PERSON TO KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM. IT WAS JUST A MERE RAMBLE! SO FAWK OFF! I WANT TO EXPRESS MY ANGER ON MY BLOG BECAUSE I DUN ANYBODY TO TALK TO...and the reasons go on and on and on. Humans, as you can see, is a mammal that can think. And that's why you can get all sorts of reason out of it.

It's there really a need to have a cyber law stating blogging should be all about nice and sweet things? Maybe ISA can help reinforce this cyber law... ...

Maybe those who curse other people will go to jail.

So far, I don't see any of them sitting in jail unless that offended person sue him/her to court.

Anyways, whether to curse or to gossip people on your blogs, it's still up to you unless under some serious circumstances like you're gonna get assasinated by your haters.

I guess that's all for my ramblings.

ON THE OTHER HAND

I'm going to be Jesus Christ soon!!

"Gasps!"

I'm not simply blaberring or what... ...

It's true!!

Look at this picture and you'll know!!

Oh~~ May the light and darkness be created! The sun governs the day and the moon and stars govern the night!!!!

LOL! I'm actually involve in a drama. A drama for the school kids in the church. Just started practicing. Do I look Godly? =x

Growing 0.09 cm - If you want to change~

If you want to change, you must be clear what you want to change and how you intend to change.

And I tell you, changing yourself away from your bad habits is not an easy one.

It's like leaving your favourite food behind when you're aiming to slim down.

It's freaking torturous.

And when you feel like eating the things you like, there's always something like this that pops out in your head, " Well, just for today! I'll eat just for today and tomorrow I'll start to avoid all these food."

That's when you start to give the same excuses day after day without even noticing it.

When you say you wanna quit eating these food, it means quit everything.

No matter whether it is "just for today", "a while", or even "abit", you still have to quit and that's that.

If you still insist that you "reward" yourself or allow yourself to indulge in your bad habits, then you're actually breaking the promise that you've made.

When you quit or do something to achieve your goals, it's all about sincerity and action. It's not about other people around you, it's all about you.

The only person who can break that promise is the one who made it because no one is responsible for another's promise. It is all about you.

Don't ever take others as an excuse while you are keeping your promise. If you try to rationalize why you should quit because of relationships and reputation, you will not quit your bad habit forever.

At the end, if you still insist of walking the wrong path and still say that you're fat or whatever it is, you should not blame others because this is the decision that you have made yourself.

It may be hard to quit the things you like. Even if you lose the world, even if you have to forget all those comfort that you've once had, even when you have to face the pain due to your loss, you'll still keep your promise and move on.

Because this is your LIFE. And that's true determination.

The moral of the story is...

You decide yourself. =p
