"Course"ist

You know, I came across a notice in IMU yesterday. It's something to do with renting out a room or unit. And apparently, there were some spelling mistake on it.

The word "shelter" was spelt as "shelther".

Someone circle it up. And it was very kind of her/him to do that. But at the upper corner of the parper, he/she wrote:"Shelter you also don't know how to spell? Are you in Medic or Pharmacy?"

And what on earth did that "English teacher" mean?

I came across a lot of Medic students who again and again insult students who are studying pharmacy. They keep saying that they are the best, and ya, indirectly. Making you feel like "Duh......"

Words like

"Medic students are not only rich, they are clever as well"

"You should finish reading all your notes 3 days before your exam"

"Go back to Monash. Lame"

"I've told you!!!!!!!!!!! Nah!!!!! (Pointing out both of his middle fingers)"

and also the one I've just wrote above.

I really don't understand why some people are so arrogant and think that they are the best. I thought we, students of healthcare studies are supposed to work together for the community. Only when I came to IMU that I found out that's not the way things are done here.

One of my lecturer once told me that once he took a few pharmacy students to the ward in a hospital. Then a doctor asked :"Why are the pharmacist students doing here?" in a sarcastic way.

The lecturer, who is a phamarcist himself, was not really happy by what the doctor said. He in turn replied:"Knowledge about all the disease are equally important among doctors and pharmcists. If a pharmacist do not aqquire enough knowledge about a certain disease, what happens if a patients ask him/her for advice? What happens if the patient is in critical condition already and the pharmacist do not even what are the signs of it? The job of pharmacists is not only dispensing medication."

And the doctor just nodded.

I know that they are also medic students who are very humble and kind. But those who aren't just make you wonder, who taught him to think in that way?

Earth Hour

I've switched off my photo in supoort of earth hour!!! :)

Cute Nickson

I was not feeling very well last night so I slept early, around 10:30pm. After half an hour, Nickson called. Here's our conversation:

Me: "Hello, What's up?"

Nick: (With a very serious tone) "Hello, Shiau Mei. Will it be convenient now to talk to you?"

Me:"Ya, sure. What happened? Are you ok?"

Nick:"From the tone of my voice, guess if it's a good news or a bad news that I'm going to tell you."

Me:"Oh my, you sound so sad. Sure it is a bad news."

Nick:"No no, it's a good news."

Me:"What? Don't tell me you've won something from Fly fm????"

Nick:"No lah, it's about Rihanna's concert. (Very excited) The new date for the concert is next friday!!!"

Me: (Sreamed) "Ar!!!! Really ar? Oh my god oh my god, really ar????"

Nick:"Ya, I am checking the pineapple website now... and...."

Me:"Hey, I checked also just now. But it says they will announce the new date by 12 of March?"

Nick:"NO NO, it says here 'Rihanna's concert is confirmed to be held on February 13, Friday!!!"

(Silence for 7 seconds)

Me:"Er..... Nick, that's a wrong information. That's February! The original date!"

Nick:"What did I say just now???"

Me:"February!"

Nick: "(Very disappointed) Har..... Why...."

Me:"(Laughing non stop)"

Haha, my dear friend Nickson, You're really funny! :) Don'te worry, Rihanna will come soon! :)

Jason, Sharon and Mei

Jason: "Jason is hot, Sharon is hotter, Mei is the hottest."

Mei:"Guys are so unpredictable. Make you happy for a moment and then crush your heart into pieces."

Sharon:"I love my life."

Jason:"Haih....(smile) How great life is if there's a person who loves you (smile, blinked eye) forever and ever~~"

8 months in IMU

It has been 8 months since I’ve first step into IMU. I’ve been living on my own, without my parents around me everyday and not having the chance to have my mom’s home cooked food everyday. I used to complain about her cooking last time and I even chose not to eat what she cooked sometimes, ended up enjoying the instant noodles. Now thinking back, I was so silly for not appreciating her cooking. I’m having sandwiches for most of my meals now while missing her food And instant noodles, they are just “eeeeuuuuhhhhhh” now, except for the Maggie Goreng in mamak stalls. Hehe..

But still I’m lucky enough to be able to go back to Klang most of the weekend and enjoy my time with them and mom’s cooking. Come to think about it, it’s actually a good thing for them to move up to Klang. But still, I would prefer to stay in Kluang. J

Enrolling a university really change your life, your perspective towards life and also people around you. You get the opportunities to meet different people with all kinds of attitudes and style. Some whom you really cannot stand sometimes or some whom you really enjoy spending time with.

Back in Kluang, I didn’t really meet anyone who has attitude problems. Ya, there is some unhappy issues sometimes but they were usually solved or forgotten in a short period. But from what I experienced here, it is quite shocking for me. Haha… Maybe I shouldn’t use “shocking” but that is the best way to describe how I feel about it.

Friends will always be friends. That’s how I feel when I spent 19 years in Kluang. Friends will not get angry over small matters. Friends will not be angry if you’ve forgotten to ask them to join you for lunch and choose not to talk to you after that (even if it has been a month). Friends will not get angry and ignore you completely even if you choose to move out after sharing the same room with them for a year. Friends will not choose to mix around with “clever” friends only. Friends will not regard other friends as “your friends” rather than “our friends”.

There are also people who only think about themselves and would careless about others. They will complain about others without thinking of their own attitudes. And you can also see some quite pampered ones who had to learn to adapt to their lives without having their parents around. Some may even cover their practical results when you ask them for it (just for sharing and copying).

But there are also many kind ones here. And I really adore them! :P Spending them with them just make you think of ways to be a better person. Sharing unhappy and frustrating experiences with them will definitely feel much better. Sharing food is the best though. Hahaha… :P There are also people who can really sing and when they do, they just make your heart melt.. Aw.. AHahha... Maybe I'm exaggerating a little....

And I was also given the chance to meet some guys who really know how to flirt. They will flirt and make you believe in something which wasn’t real at all. They will always find excuses to make them look innocent while you look stupid. In the end, they will just crush you into pieces and your confidence… ended up zero. But still, you need not to worry as you have a lot more friends who care about you and will always be there for you while you heal yourself slowly.
I don’t care how their attitudes are, I will always regard them as friends.

Lessons learnt? Find ways to adapt to those who annoy you sometimes and stay away from guys who flirt.

I love you guys from Kluang and IMU!

Fly Fm Must Watch Movie

Guess what?

I've won tickets from Fly Fm again!!!! No, it's not tickets for Rihanna's concert. It's actually 4 movie tickets for the premiere of Burn After Reading which include the casting of Brad Pitt and George Clooney!

Brad Pitt and George Clooney

Brad Pitt. Handsome nya...

I've trying to win Rihanna's album and her concert tickets for days but I never managed to get through the line.

Last night, after having my dinner, I on the radio and there was a game where you have to call the station and tell them your most romantic Valentine's Day menu. And the best menu will win yourself RM100. I didn't take part in that. But right after they announce the winner, then they say:"Since it's Valentine's Day tomorrow, we want to make you happy by giving out four movie tickets to check out Burn After Reading.

I sent the sms to 33399 right away. Then there was this feeling that they will call back. I switched off the radio and started to revise my Pharm Organic Chemistry. After 5 to 7 minutes, my phone rang. And it was Fly Fm!

Jules asked me:" Janet, have you and your family won anything from fly fm recently?"

I was like... Er... does that got to do with my movie tickets? Will I not be qualified to win the tickets?

After telling them that it was last year since I won anything. Then Prem said:"Congratulation Janet! You've won yourself 4 movie tickets to check out the premier of Burn After Reading at Cathay Cineplex Damansara!"

Honestly, I don't have a clue where is that place... I know where is Damansara but Cathay cineplex... No idea..
But this is what I've got from the net:

I wonder if cineleisure and Cathay cineplex are the same...

But still, I will find out where is it and I'm going to enjoy the movie! :)

It's Official!!!

Kok Tong, Nickson and I are offiicailly going to Rihanna's concert!

It wasn't as plain sailing as I thought it would be to get those tickets.

We wanted to use the promotion of 30% given by celcom X pac to puchace the tickets. Nick's celcome number borrowed from his friend and it wasn't Xpac. I spent more than an hour calling the celcome service center for several times in order to change the package to an X pac. It was worth while after all. Hahaha....

But still, the tickets which we wanted (RM198 and after discount = RM138) had sold out. So we bought tickets for Arena B, RM112 after discounted.

Kok Tong purchasing the tickets at Lot 10.

Nickson and Kok Tong with our tickets. :)

Concerts

Another concert is coming up. And this time, it's Rihanna's!
I've missed a lot of concerts like Black eyed peas, Mariah Carey, Avril Lavigne...
This time I'm so going to her concert!

The tickets are not cheap, ranges from RM128 to RM328. Nick and I are planning to go. Im thinking of getting tickets for the red are. And I'm planning to get the free tickets through Fly Fm. Hehehehe... Oh please let me win...
But should I get the tickets now without waiting to winning them? Dilemma sial...

Then there's another concert, Jason Mraz. Gosh I love him and his songs! The tickets are much cheaper if compared to Rihanna's.

If only I could go to both concerts!

Hair cut

After moving up to Klang for more than 2 months, I finally got my first hair cut in Klang. I went to the shop lots around my house. After minutes of driving around the area, I've decided to give this salon a try.

I was thinking of just trimming my hair, making it less puffy so I went for junior cut without any confidence in them..

And the result...

I ended up having short hair without knowing it. The young hairdresser didn't even tell me that she was going to do that... And it took her 45 minutes to get my hair done.

Honestly, I was quite disappointed. I don't look lady anymore. Sigh.. I miss Ann who used to cut my hair in Kluang. I miss my old hair style too. Now I have to wait for it to grow again...

Chinese New Year

My family and I will always travel back to Pulau Penang to celebrate CNY. This year was rather different as sis was still recovering from dengue fever and she couldn't make it back to Malaysia. Bro and Terri also followed us back together for the very first time. :)


I woke up at 6.30am on Saturday. Damn early.. We left for Penang at 8am.

This is our beloved driver, DAD. Hehe...

Jam all the way.

After sitting in the car for hours and when my butt was really aching already, I saw this cute cloud. Look at the upper part of it, it looked like a brain and also, a butt. Keke....
After 7 hours..... 3.30pm....

We finally reached Penang island!!!!!!!

It was the longest journey we ever had. It would usually take us around 5 hours to reach Penang....

Terri and Bro, came back as husband and wife for the very first time.

Grandma couldn't make it to bro and Terri's wedding as she couldn't walk or stand for too long now. And so, there was a simple tea ceromony for her.

She was very pleased. :)

And for dad, he had Dengue and had to be hospitalised during bro and Terri's wedding.

Terri possing for the camera. :)

We had our reunion lunch and dinner on the eve. My favourite Penang Lo Bak was there! Wahahahahha~

On the first day of CNY, I was greeted by this lion... Look at it's mouth... It looked damn huge...

We went to temple after having our breakfast and for me, after receiving ang pows... :P
Went to pay our respects to my grandpa and uncle...

Getting blessings from the monk...

It was really different without sis around. Noone to 38 with me...

We went to a beach at Batu Ferringgi, Pantai Shamrock. And ya, there were a lot of rocks....

Rocks on the right....

Rocks on the left....
And rocks every where!!!

On the way back, Dad bought laksa for RM2.50 each. Cheap sial...

We went back to KL on Tuesday.

From left: Mom, me and Dad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went back to Kluang on Thursday. I was abducted by Xiao Pang once I reached Kluang and started to visit friends. I was never given the chance to rest.. After reaching Kluang for less than 5 hours, we went to Batu Pahat.

We had steamboat by the river, only Nickson was looking at the camera.

We then headed to "Qing Ren Qiao" (Couple bridge - translated directly). According to them, this place is very famous in Batu Pahat but honestly, I never heard of this place before...

It was very Kampung over there but nice. There were a lot of people over there. Cars were parked everywhere.

Us walking towards a temple.

We had the chance to make our own CNY MTV..

Gong Xi Gong Xi Gong Xi ni Ya!~

There were fire works too..

And we tried to take photos with them.

But failed..

Friday, time to visit friends again.

But we ended up staying in Shwu Ling's house only.. Eating junk food and playing mah jong..

Famous cendol in Kluang...

We had a gathering at Old Taste on Friday night. Everyone was tired due to the late nights they had...

Mok and Bo Bo. Mok was sick and still, came out. Really don't know how to take care of himself. Hehe..

From Left: Jia De, Nickson, ME, Jen Shen, Shwu Ling.

We should buy 4D and TOTO.. 5380..

Later that night, it was time for us to win some money...

Siew Ling getting ready...

Our "Zhong Ga"

Wahahaa, "Man Lap"! But they only visited me once during that game. Sad...

Guess what time we went back home that night? 5am... and Pang still had to went to market at 8am to buy ingredients for our buffet party.

Pang.. So pro~~

Aunty fried meehoon and noodles for us...

Wahahahhahaha! FOOD!!!!

Poor Siew Ling, she was totally blocked by Pang...

This is Jia De. He really enjoys taking photos...

Fire works!!!

I don't know if it was because the buffet was boring or they were really exhausted..

Shwu Ling

Nickson and Bo Bo possing with sleepy Jia De.

Champagne time...

Poor Yong Kang, he couldn't open the cork...

Forks were used...
Failed...

Chopsticks were then used...

After a few minutes of trying, we managed to push it into the bottle.. Hehe..

Yam Seng time!

We gambled again later that night. Ahahaha.. And I lost all the cash in my purse and also the ones in the ang pow I collected in Kluang. Aiks...

Most of us went back to KL the next day. It's Monday and I miss them already. :)
