My 1st birthday in a foreign land...
Luckily i'm not alone... Although birthday celebration is not so important to me anymore, it is still nice to hv ppl reminding me tht i'm older by 1 year on this day :)
First of all, thank you for planning a surprise celebration for me at 12 midnight :)
Thanks to my 2 wonderful hsemates, Raj & Giri, XY, Lingwei, Devi, Darsh, Ser Ying, Mekh, Piriya, Samm, Yee Xian, Ray, Shu Xian & Xin Ni.
A few pieces of cake n muffin, some beer n some frens, makes my day :)
OK, i endured a frustrating afternoon, struggling in FMT lecture, against sleepiness n understanding the lecturer's lecture, but some ppl again make my day special...
The girls treated me with a wonderful chinese home-cooked dinner and an ice-cream :)
Special thanks to Theng Theng, Michelle, Sin Ye, Zelia & Ka Yin. A very heart-warming n delicious meal indeed...
N a big thank you to u my dear :) although v can't celebrate it together, i'm still very happy with the 'virtual meal' u've prepared for me :) muakz...
Last but not least, wishes from my family, and my beloved frens...
Thank you for making this day a memorable 1 :)
*p/s: sorry i din't take any photo, but i'll try to steal from other ppl n re-post it here ;)

I'm in Glasgow
It had been 1 week since i arrived in Glasgow...
It's a totally foreign city to me, but i don't really feel isolated here, as a whole group of us came together, n the ppl here r quite friendly... But of course there r some exemptions....
We hv no car here, so we will jz walk to the town everyday, well a 10 to 15 mins walk, so it's kinda good for health haha....
2 things tht annoy me most r, 1) although it's summer, the wind is freakingly cold, n the weather is pretty unpredictable, it can rain anytime. 2) The shops closes around 5 to 6... Tht's bad rite?? Malaysians used to going out at 8 or 9, it's difficult for us, as the timetable now is like everyday 9 to 5.....
I've spent nearly 200 pounds after 1 week here (THT'S A FREAKING RM 1200 WEI!) But half is for the text books (100 pounds), my new phone n top-up (58 pounds), n others r for the utensils, groceries and toiletries... I'm not wasting money here :) (yet haha....)
So far, everything is going quite ok.. Accommodation is ok, cooking is not a problem (yet), studies juz started (still ok), going around is fun, n the buildings, i like their style very much... Tht's y i take photos of buildings more than any other things, including myself. There is a lot more of things i need to learn bout photography, so pls gv me some advice if possible.
OK, this is how it looks like from my room's window
Few days ago, i accidently spotted this seagull standing infront of one of the opposite flat's window.
It stood there for quite long, looking around, n it used its beak to knock on the window several times...
I thought it was 'communicating' with its reflection on the window or trying to get the flower inside... But then....
An old lady appeared n fed the seagull... The seagull was actually knocking n asking for food! My my seagull here is clever, isn't it? N no wonder all the birds here r so well built n fat...
I'll update anything when i feel like writing blog ag :)
everyone out there, take care!

My dear, u always complaint tht i didn't write anything bout u in my blog....
Well, this is because i only feel like writing when something special takes place.... Someday like today...
My Dear,
Ever since we were together we hv never been parted for more than 2 weeks. Now, it's a one whole year ahead, ready to test the strength and durability of the bond between us. We hv expected this day to come, but it still came so soon tht i felt hard to say goodbye. I honestly think tht this relationship will last, even having to endure some hardship n frustration of long distance relationship, for i hv faith in u n myself.
It's the best thing i've ever had in my life, to hv known u n to be wif u... The love tht hv rooted in my heart, i find it hard to describe wif words... So, i juz wan u to know, i really love u, n i will always do. Do wait for me....
Wif Love,
From Me.
I will miss my family, as well as my frens... All of u r no less important, thank you for the things u've done for me, thank you for the wishes n care....
Wish me luck in Scotland, n i hope tht all of u will b in good condition when i'm bck hehe...

Attachment Week
Today is the 4th day of clinical attachment....
Clerking cases in government hospital is not a pleasant thing,
(1) Standing with ur head down for a long time copying 'cakar ayam' like handwriting is not good for ur neck.
(2) The wards r not air-conditioned, damn hot n stuffy, wearing a tie and thick labcoat somemore.
(3) Of course, wards are filled with patients of all kinda diseases, air full of bacteria, alcohol smell (antiseptic, not drinking alcohol), n some funny smell..
(4) U always hv to compete with doctors and nurses for the case notes, time is precious.
OK, tht's not the main reason for me to blog today, i juz wanna share my 'shock of the day'
After clerking, we went to library to meet Mr. B for discussion. I was walking juz beside Mr. B towards the discussion room, when he suddenly asked me 'Can u follow me back today?'
I was SHOCKED... WHAT? Follow u bck? What do u wanna do to me? My first thought was 'Why u wan me to follow u bck home? I'm scared!'
My goodness, luckily i stay in Seremban. So i told him i'm not goin bck to Bukit Jalil. Then he asked my other colleagues if any1 could accompany him bck, he said he doesn't wanna drive bck alone, coz ez to fall asleep while driving alone. All of us look at each other, i sense unwillingness in every1's eyes haha, then turned out Yee Xian to be the 'victim'... Sze ling is driving, Cynthia claim to accompany Sze ling, Saffia n Zul r staying in Seremban, Poh yee n Siew yin were not present.... Poor Yee Xian, sorry Samm, there's ntg much i can help haha... Yee Xian has no choice but to accept Mr. B's 'free transport' invitation.
Actually Mr. B is kinda good lecturer, quite experienced n knowledgeble, n he is nice to students. TOO NICE sometimes tht it scares us, especially MALE students. Yup, tht's right, tht is where it seems abit wrong.
If it was Miss Chrissy who had asked me to follow her bck, i would hv gladly accepted the invitation, although i'm not staying in Bukit Jalil haha.... Raj will do the same thing, rite Raj? Juz hope tht she doesn't hv a suspicious hubby...
Yeah, tml will be the final day of a miserable week, n coming up next, IMU Ball......

It's a Mess
It's quite a mess in Msia now... If u follow the news on TV n papers, u'll noe wat im talkin bout....
U claim to hv majority support lar, i lock u outside the building lar, u held meeting under the tree lar, i go report u to the police lar, u put cctv to ensure that the trees u planted r safe lar bla bla bla....
When's the cowboy show ending? U shoot me i shoot u... Occasionally it will add some spice to boring political scene, but it's like everyday now... Do u'll even care wat the people r thinking?
To be fair, i think both parties r similarly mad. Purely MAD!
Ok, then the blue box thingy...
It's another 'quality decision' made by our respected Government (related department).
What's tht smell??? I smell FISH! Something FISHY!
Of course lar, the boxes r for fish storage mar.. of course fishy lar...
I wonder wat's the logic behind the decision to implement such order...
Although the decision was temporarily revoked, people who slightly use their brain will feel suspicious about the reason behind this order...
Suspicious isn't it?
Monopolised by 1 company only...
Price is double the normal price...
Quality is not superior to other similar boxes...
Made mandatory to all importers...
Something is wrong with this country...
Seriously, with the resources tht v have, blessings by mothernature, we should b much better than where we stand now.
R there no wise ppl to use these advantages wisely? I think there r. But perhaps some cannot resist the temptation by Devil, the lust for power, wealth and sex made them neglect the opportunity to use these advantages for people's good, instead they use these advantages to satisfy their own lust.
Actually, this happens everywhere all the time, it'sa sad but true reflection on human's nature. Sometimes, v r no better than animals, perhaps even worse.
I talk bout Msia, bcoz Msia is my home, it's frustrating to c how my home is ruined by all these unnecessary conflicts n scandals. There's no cure for the lust n evil behind all these 'dramas', but i sure hope they don make things more complicated n sickening, n let the show ends soon.
Nobody wants to watch a messy soap drama with lousy actors on n on n on n on n on n on n on n on for over 30 seasons -__-

Goodbye IMU!
It's a bit hard to believe that, i've actually spent about 2 years in IMU...
This is called 左拥右抱which means 'hugging left n right'. U can c how happy i am (hahaha...) with Samm & Chel in my arms... Cheh, but all taken d, including me.
View of Endah Parade (Carrefour) taken from my room.
And the food i ate most are the canteen food (previous caterer), n mixed rice, fried rice, burger nasi lemak from the stalls at the roadside, juz outside the uni.
Say goodbye to IMU.... (although i'll b bck in 3 weeks time)
After packing (wah so tidy d!)
Life there is actually coming to an end, very soon, as there will be no more lectures going on, only Finals, some case presentations and bits of preparation for UK thing...
Well, the most unforgettable thing will surely be the orientation week...
Talk about dressing as a GIRL for 3 or 4 days in different costume, that certainly requires some courage....
Me & Giri as TARZAN & JANE (Well, obviously, I am Jane). Had a funny MTV show though :)
Me & Giri as TARZAN & JANE (Well, obviously, I am Jane). Had a funny MTV show though :)Not mentioning, dressing as such to meet my tutor, Prof. Peter (aka The Tiger of Pharmacy)
Can u c me? Yup, the 1 at right is me, a GT BABE.
It's quite tiring n sometimes frustrating going through the 5 days orien-'bullied'-tation, nevertheless it is fun.
However, that's all about the highlights during my 2 yrs in IMU.
Yup, there's alot of happening things around IMU, alot of partying and clubbing among my classmates, but none had much to do with me.
Not to say that i participate in ntg at all, it's juz tht im not too into everything. Some i juz don bother to join, too lazy to join, too shy to join hahaha....
That is not suppose to be a uni student's life rite? It should be more colourful isn't it? Well, it depends on how u interpret 'colourful' too... I hv a tiny bit of regret for not being more active during my uni life here, it may spice up my life more, eventhough i'm content with life right now.
Anyway, i'm happy to have met ppl who make my life in uni better :) Raj, Giri, Chel, Samm, Theng Theng and many more... Those who helped me through my life here, those who are simply nice ppl, thanks alot! (Special thanks to Zelia: There's once in the lab, i spilled my chemical all around the bench, n she was very nice to stay n help me clean the mess after the lab session ended, that's really nice of u, girl.)
The ever charming RAJ, with Ray at the side, tucking in his shirt.
GIRI n XY, interesting couple keke...
Me n Theng Theng, the blur girl from penang :p
This is called 左拥右抱which means 'hugging left n right'. U can c how happy i am (hahaha...) with Samm & Chel in my arms... Cheh, but all taken d, including me.Although i am going to meet this same bunch of people in UK, but it will somehow b abit diff d.... There will probably b some change anyway, u will never know. So, experience at IMU is still something unique.
It's abit embarrassing to say, i've never been to the pasar malam at sri petaling n only once to the town after staying so near to sri petaling for 2 yrs. Well, Carrefour is the furthest place i go most frequently to restock.
View of Endah Parade (Carrefour) taken from my room.And the food i ate most are the canteen food (previous caterer), n mixed rice, fried rice, burger nasi lemak from the stalls at the roadside, juz outside the uni.
The fried rice stall. Well food are not that nice, not really hygienic as well.
.
Nasi lemak n burger stall. Have wide variety of food but most sucks.
.
Ah, i did not manage to take a photo of the Indian mixed rice stall. The auntie was nice, sometimes will give me extra things, but honestly, the food isn't that nice and i think they should change their menu sometimes. YES! THESE ARE THE THINGS I EAT EVERYDAY FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS! Ohhh... feel like vomiting sometimes, need an anti-emetic...
Say goodbye to IMU.... (although i'll b bck in 3 weeks time)
Say goodbye to my untidy but comfortable room
Before packing
After packing (wah so tidy d!) Another before-after comparision
N say goodbye to all the memories left at that place.... N the precious time spent there wif my girl...

Bus ride update
Well, this is an update regarding the bad bus ride thingy... I received an e-mail from rapidkl this monday. It does sound sincere, but i think it sounds very 'official', like those typical statements from TNB or JBA tht says 'we apologize for the electricity/water supply interuption tht happen in your area. The electricity/water supply will be back to normal in 2 hrs time', then u wait for 12 hrs there is still no electricity/water supply. I doubt any serious action will be taken. This is Malaysia what...
Here's the letter i've received:

OK, something unrelated to the story above.
(1) The political scenario in Msia is getting more sickening.... Diu! (cannot tahan, feel like stamping on them). Stop those cat fights n dog fights, do your job properly lar...
Jacky Chan once said the politics in Taiwan is a joke, he should come n look at Msia oso...
(2) Thank you for your very funny but sweet post dear :) happy anniversary! Love you always...
