are u what you eat?

life is kinda boring, right now, perhaps..

i'm getting myself suddenly in the mood to search for food that potentially affects your mood;


especially hoping and craving for something that makes me feel real happy for sure!

but no time for that though, anybody has any ideas or answers?

i just wish i have the chance to learn more about food, if only..

what's in preview week after weeks ahead..

hardly survived (1/2 of the sem) but barely living life purposefully or meaningfully..

yet now, what's the worse is my every week has been occupied (non-stop) with assignments, reports, etc etc uni work..

all lined-up in schedule for submission respectively according to some datelines..

换句话说:
赶完一份, 作完一份又轮到另外一份

持续而来,不停的,急着向我们冲,不理会所有心情, 等待被完成。。

排着队,且蛮遵守秩序的, 那就是有如以下:

this week,

1. 过数小时后要交的 SCI assignment 3
2.  friday 需要交 plant visit to GAB report

next week,

3. 星期三 ~ 4-weeks' biochemistry lab report
4. sci major assessment (不记得是 on thursday or friday)
5. ecology field trip 报告 (现在还和 4号 assignment 的 due date 搞乱日期)

总之就能预料到下两周会是怎样的情况,

被 beer 里面的成分弄得醉醉..昏昏迷迷的沉浸在 bioreactor 当中..

再不然就是脑子不断地过滤 (filter 蛋白质 info) 4 星期以来所 keep on 进行的 centrifuge & dialysis..
     
顾着想 kitchen hazard.. 不小心被烧伤,割伤,烫伤,都不察觉,
作 risk analysis 到没有敏锐的知觉;
单靠直觉胡乱搞一通,糟糕 ..   

还有别忘了这次可能被在 mangrove 里生存的螃蟹夹到手..ouch~

哗啦 .. 就要疯了 ~

搞得我也快要傻了。。

不!No No No.. 应该纠正一下 。。

正确地说:是已经傻了,而且不过是傻的程度只有渐渐的提升了。。
没有好转过 。。 哈哈 。。 真棒 ~!干杯吧 ! 嘿。。 sot jor..

告诉我应该怎么办?嗨 ~~

每周都有功课忠心地等我们去接触它。。期待我们把他们交上去。
不管能做得好不好,已没时间调整功课的质量。。

根本就好像参加了marathon for assignments 一样,并且每个星期都有各式各种花样哦。。
分别在于 "This week's special" 有所不同。。

我们的体能或心理状况就如其他 course mates 所描叙与形容:
有时被 
enzymes digest 掉了,

困在 fermentor 里面, (被 impeller 搅得头也够昏)

stuck in mangrove, 在草丛深林中迷路,跑不出来。。

做有关 haemoglobin 的功课做的要求 get blood donation 让头脑补充有足够的血运作, 甚至最后想直接吐血。。

或是有机会 (risk) 被 无所不在, 遇到的任何 hazard 中途让我们绊倒。。
受到 virus attack 等等。。 如此类推

我做 assignment 至到烦了,
也发觉尝试这样子 dual language 互相换来换去用于表达意识和想法, 还真有点累 。。

好,够了,不玩了,时间过了,已经很夜了。。

只能说:功课上加油吧 !

算了啦,再见,后会有期 。。 晚安 ~ 

blah...ta..

how communication works..

yesterday, i realized the importance of the existence of communication, why?

here's some example from real life experience:

1. imagine a world without communication from the cyber space

-- if not for the suzzane's PM on MSN and the blog she told me to visit,

i would have rushed to finish up and just simply try to complete the biochem assignment in stress for the sake of meeting the time or deadline set at 5pm on friday (my so-called "free-day"?!)

2. With the presence of telecommunication

-- made it possible for a linked connection via phone despite the distance barrier

mum called to ask how & what i was doing? *well, obviously, we escaped the dateline, immediately take a break, left assignments aside & ended up hanging out in pyramid that time..didnt tell that to mum though .. hee

3. when miscommunication takes place..

-- Bread x 2
Cheese x 3

what happen?

met bro in the mall, thought he asked me to buy the things listed above, just to get home and find he bought the exact same things which i did..didn't expect he didn't hear me well or misunderstood me..and he bought 2 packets of cheese some more..*sigh

now..how are we gonna finish these perishable foods before expiry date? impossible..
unless, to fix the menu within the next few days, bread & cheese for all breakfast, lunch & dinner..

oh no..
well, enough to get me 黏線 (chee-se-en) [p/s: pronounce the word in cantonese]
or get 'cheesey' in the context of “气死” 我了~

too bad this is not in restaurant city..wouldn't mind getting more ingredients actually..double or triple..i dont mind..

anyway, just a note here:
i need flour, onion, pork, apple etc (refer to my recipe) in restaurant city..
trade with me if interested..hehe..

well, back to the topic,
guess i should from now on, learn to do the following things:

read/see things properly;
hear attentively;
speak carefully.

these actions may be small but they just might save you from undesirable circumstances

what i want to do now..

i want to have an escape, away from this bz life;
but not out of this world..

something simple is enough, things like:

1.
relaxing at the beach at nyte
feeling the light breeze from the ocean
gazing the bright starry night sky over the sea
touching the soft sand through your feet
licking an ice-cream or taking a sip at some nice cocktail
listening to soothing music/song
small talks with friends



2.
go for a a car ride in the middle of the night
viewing the colourful neon city lights of the sky scrappers
stopping down at a cafe to get some coffee
having little conversation with a few companions



3.
start a picnic on a day with fine weather/take a stroll in the park
getting yourself exposed to some mild sunlight
lie down on a clean grassy field with beautiful flower beds
eating a sandwich and drinking a cup of tea
sharing thoughts with a couple of buddies




take a break & enjoy life, is that still too much to ask for?

p/s: of my life in kl, i'm only beginning to like & appreciate the sight of sunset during evening..the fluffy clouds & wonderful shades of colours in the sky makes me feel some peace & serenity at home =)

anyway, have a nice day, y'all ^^

my dear mid-sem break

15th April (right in the middle of having our holidays)

6.30 am in the morning..with drizzles, lightning and still-dark sky
haven't even taken breakfast & we're supposed to get ready to carry out a group assignment o.O"

what are we to do at this hour?
~ make a visit to the kitchen of Atrium cafe of Sunway Resort Hotel

*they made us WAIT in hungry & sleepy condition >.< walk here, walk there..
observe this, observe that..
take pics everywhere..

all that done -- finally went for breakfast outside

then to Starbucks cafe in Pyramid just to have WAITED 1 hour for the 5-minute free shuttle bus ride to uni..lol..

mind u, we're all deprived of precious sleep the night before, for the sake of major assessment.. so, all of us just took the chance to sit down & rest there..doing Nothing at all..

reached uni shortly, summarize some of the things we needed for the day later..
because we're required to do a presentation on our observational session earlier on..

after lunch, WAITED again for bus to come so we could get back to sunway resort hotel again..

WAITED some more for everyone to get settled down..then proceed to the presentation

already stressed up with so many assignments WAITING in line, yet they expect much from us poor uni students doing the audit thing for the very 1st time..

and demand us to provide 'quality' suggestions as their solutions

but they're willing to spare us time for us to do some research on what recommendations we can give them

yea, and probably to give them a copy of our reports within a week's time
(no big deal if we have no other assignments to do..but that's not the case anyway..so "congratulations" is all i can say)

yup, done with the tensed meeting we had with the safety officers, hygiene manager, executive assistant manager for F & B division, etc..

and that ends the long long tired day..

if u think at least we're a bit free to relax after the 'tour' to the kitchen

guess not, because..
out of 14 weeks in a semester, we're given 1 week mid-sem break
yet,
Monash version of holidays still equals to pile of assignments
(except only minus time for attending classes/labs/tutorials)

conclusion: no holiday

what makes it worst?
internet connection break down - frustrated
tough assignments - headache

the last place i wanna be during a holiday is perhaps going back to uni, yet i still end up there 3/4 days of the only 1 week break we have..how pathetic

but i'm not the only one, cos the evidence is the library is still packed with students doing assignments in uni..

the library does not even deserve some peace afterall during holiday..

where is my real mid-sem break holiday?
hmm, it's already friday today, guess there's no such thing anymore & 'break' gonna be gone soon anyhow..

i want holiday !!!
i NEED a break desperately ..

the answer is perhaps Wait some more

the only relief we get will be the temporary membership pass to Euphoria (MoS - ministry of sound) via free admission..

stop dreaming- it's still too early to mention..at least until work is finished

out of my mind

obviously, i'm not supposed to be here at this time..

but i need to free my mind of crappy thoughts..

lately, i find myself slowly losing it..

focus, concentration, passion, inspiration, determination, perseverance, imagination..

i dont feel like i wanna care about it anymore..

yet i cant afford to bear the consequences..

i seek for freedom, a life away from it all, worries & all else..

but its impossible i know..

yea, ~~ hold on (lyrics flying through my mind from the music playing)

exactly what i need to do now..even though its hard..

i gotta pick myself up..even when i doubt myself..

on 1 note, i think i owe people around me especially my friends an apology..

recently, i do realize i've been mistreating u guys with my ignorant attitude that comes with sudden emo changes..

* i'm sorry for that..gomenasai ~

i will try to improve..if i can..

hoping for a better tomorrow.. =)

have a nice day, all' !! ~cheers & Happy Good Friday ^^

Field Trip to GUINNESS Brewery

FREE Beer ~~ !!!

hohoho...

welcome to the world of alcohol ! ^^

finally, i've proven the conclusion that vampires' 1st preference is surely Blood..

alcohol is bad >.< (at least for vampires) i think..

not an attempt for a Guinness World Record with how much (free flow) of Guinness beer you can drink at a somewhat traditional, classic tavern influenced by Irish elements after given an educational tour around GAB (Guinness Anchor Berhad)..

but yes, note the word "FREE" sample testing if you are familiar with the prices of alcoholic beverages in the market..then you would see this as opportunity to try all the variety of beer it's available there..

well, 1 sip of everything listed below:

1. the precious "Kilkenney" (which is rarely found)

2. the renowned Guinness Stout

3. Heineken

4. Tiger

+ 1 whole can of Anglia Shandy (*with a tinge of apple flavour..nice~)

got me into?

having a temporary 'tomato face'

perhaps, alcohol is really not my thing, Blood is..

it didnt get me becoming evil, but it surely can get me a bloody red face afterall..

anyway, i'm NOT drunk, seriously, *i'm just shy ok.. lol *gives innocent look

haha, the effects of alcohol on vampires? -- mystery

well, at least i've got enough blood circulation from beer to do 'haemoglobin' assignment.. yay!

*been having Hb floating around in my head & mind recently while i'm dozing off (definitely giving bad quality sleep) accompanied by deprivation of napping hours

& with the beer, trust me, it's either i could just stay awake the whole night (energized with a pumped up brain for assignment) or i'll just have a really good sleep tonight, hopefully it comes with a sweet dream as well..

ta for now..

Guinness Rocks !!
