You always get what you don’t want

We had a Final Year Project (FYP) briefing for the second years on Monday. Aside from the usual bla bla bla scope and stuff, we were also assigned a FYP supervisor who will guide us every step of the way when we are doing our FYP.

Keep in mind that this FYP is extremely important and therefore, it’s crucial to do the right thing, guided by the right people. It’s a research paper related to our field of studies.

Back to the topic of supervisors, we were told that once assigned, the supervisors will not, under any circumstances, be changed. Unless of course, they leave UTAR half way through our FYP. And when the lecturer announced the list of supervisors that we were going to be attached to, I heard the one name I dreaded.

During my internship period last semester, I was assigned to an internship supervisor as well. This particular supervisor has  a few funny traits. Such as:

i) She doesn’t reply my emails of queries regarding my bi-weekly report on my internship.

ii) She doesn’t reply sms-es either.

iii) Same goes for phone calls. No idea whether she was in class or what, but she never calls back either.

iv) Of all the emails I sent her during the 3-4 months that I was undergoing internship, she replied 1 of of the 10 emails I sent her (Yes, I counted). And that was only because she needed me to fill in some forms to prove that she visited me during the internship period to check on my progress (she didn’t).

Back to the topic of the FYP supervisors. I started praying the moment I heard that she was, again, one of the supervisors who would oversee this FYP thingy. The lecturer informed us that we would be able to check the supervisor that we were assigned to on Tuesday when she put up the notice at the faculty office.

And when I went there the next day, lo and behold, of soooooo many supervisors, I had to be assigned to her. So I guess, it’s pretty safe to say that I’m on my own here. HAIH.

There are people who wanted to be assigned to her though. Apparently she is very un-strict about gradings and stuff. But I wanted guidance. Not just some stupid grades which I get by stumbling through my FINAL YEAR PROJECT.

Ugh

I have a moral test again tomorrow. In bloody BM again. I haven’t started studying properly. Sigh, can I just get BM over and done with? I’d much rather be doing my brand management assignment. At least, I can understand wtf the notes say.

Have shit loads of photos of food (again) from my weekend back in KL. Haven’t even bothered to upload them from my camera yet. They’ll have to wait till the shitty moral test is over. Fuck this shit.

.

 

Edit: I have been in this perpetually sleep-starved stage for the past week or so already. You know insomnia’s a damned bitch when you toss and turn in your bed without sleeping a wink for 5 god-damned hours. My body is screaming, my head is pounding. And yet, my mind refuses to fucking shut down. Results? Zombie mode in uni. Good la, how to sit for test?

I’m seriously contemplating sleeping pills. Anyone knows if I could get them from the pharmacy without a prescription from the doctor? Sigh. I could really use a couple like nao. Nao. NAO.

Well, I guess I’ll go back to my futile attempts at sleeping. Wish me luck. Or not. Whatever. Not like people care. Ugh.

Meteor apa shower?

Yesterday there were supposed to be meteor showers. More precisely, the Leonids meteor shower. From what I read online, there were even gonna be up to hundreds of meteors shooting through the sky per hour!

And Asia was supposed to be the best place to see these meteors. I tried my luck, seeing that Kampar is a smaaaaall town and therefore would probably have not so much air pollution and therefore my chances of actually witnessing a meteor shower increases exponentially. Lol wtf.

But then… I sat outside my house and looked up at the gloomy cloudy sky and I knew… meteor what meteor la… -___-

So I did the next best thing! Camwhore wtf.

Took like 21472132 shots before I could found a satisfactory one. -_-

And another 325212 shots to get this one. -____________-

Camwhore shots on the other hand… is much easier.

So here’s another one. Heh.

And that’s what you do when you have the streets all by yourself at night! I gotta go! Taxi’s here! I’m going back home for the first time this semester! Woot!

Damn lazy to think of a title

I realised I keep posting pictures of what I’ve cooked recently. -_-

Anyhoo! I cooked a western style meal the other day!

Wah I tell you, cooking with only 1 pan is damnnnnnn mafan. And it doesn’t help that the pan heats up awfully slowly. -__- By the time it heats up enough to cook dish #3, dish #1 has already cooled. FML.

From top L-R: Campbell’s chicken & mushroom soup xD, mashed potatoes, steak bites and fusilli & cheese with meatballs.

The mashed potatoes are damn creamy! Cream cheese ftw! And me likes the steak bites too. *nom nom

And it’s fusilli and cheese because I am not a fan of macaroni. Lol.

Sigh, I think I cooked too much this time around though. ‘Cause…

This was how much that was left in the end… Save for the soup, the rest went into the bin. *wails

Random picture of his shirt wtf. This is what happens when you let them go near your camera. -_____-

Strange

It’s a freaking strange day. First, my laptop has suddenly gained the ability to read Chinese characters. It used to display these funny rectangular boxes instead of the real characters ever since I formatted it months back and couldn’t change the settings for it to display Chinese characters. But then!!! I came back from dinner/supper and lo and behold! I could actually read people’s facebook status updates in Mandarin!!! O.O Wtf? Did some mysterious genie do something to my lappie while I was out stuffing my face?

Well, that’s not the end of strange things.

Inside a Mamee Monster party pack , I found this.

This… strange… picture of an old dude’s face. Looks like the rest of the picture was cut off.

Behind that strange cutting. C4?!?!

This is a very WTF moment. And I am no Sherlock Holmes so I have no freaking idea how and why this old man is in the Mamee Monster party pack.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I shall go and ponder this strange thing instead of doing my assignment. Kthxbai.

My package! And a host of other random pics

After waiting and waiting and waiting for 3 damn days, I FINALLY got the damned package. First day, I overslept, didn’t catch the mail guy. Second day, he didn’t even come after saying he would! Which means I waited the whole afternoon in the living room with the doors wide open for nothing! Third day, my housemates got it for me while they were downstairs cooking when the guy finally appeared. *tear*

Pink bag is a little too garish FML. Risks of shopping online sigh. Eh, ignore my camera string on the bottom right. -_____-

Late night snack. FML diet fail.

I don’t know why! Recently I kept having trouble sleeping! I’d still be awake at 5am. T___T Which contributes to my dark under eyes circles getting worse. The above sandwich failed too because I was too impatient waiting for the eggs to become fully cooked. Which is why there’s some suspicious looking liquid leaking out from the sides. LE-SIGH. Note to self: half-boiled egg is not good for sandwiches.

.

.

Am going to re-read one of my favourite books again because I have ran out of reading materials. >.>

Les Mis

Oily sheen. Yellow cotton pad. Clogged pores. Redness. Freckles. Zits. Deep dark rings.

Such is the tragedy that is my face. Sigh. Goodnight. Time for a mask tomorrow.

 

My culinary adventures

I’ve been pretty busy in the kitchen recently. I am trying to improve my cooking! Though the lack of ingredients and equipments here does hinder my culinary ambitions.

Sigh, I want an oven. A real, big oven where I can bake cakes, cookies, meat and stuff. Not the small oven wannabe at home that is incapable of heating up enough for even cookies.

Well, that aside, imma show you some pictures of stuff I’ve cooked recently! Prolly doesn’t taste as good as your mom’s cooking. But hey! I’ve just started out! There’s always room for improvement.

My Top 5 Treat List!

I’m sure everyone has something he or she wants. Even if you’re the richest person on earth, there’d still be something that you covet.

I, for one, have things that I wish for too! And that wish list at the veeeery bottom of my sidebar is the proof of that. However, keep in mind that that particular list hasn’t been updated in quite some time. So yeah, wish list has expanded since. *cough*

Today, Imma talk about the top 5 treats I would kill love to have.

Number 5 – A new wallet.

I have had my current wallet for over two years. I bought it back in the J-card sale of 2007. The one where my mom and I spent over RM1k in a single day. -_- The problem is, there are only two measly card slots. And I have over 10 cards stuffed into that two slots.

I’ll let the pictures do the talking, shall I?

Number 4 – A new phone.

My phone is even sadder than my wallet. I have had this phone since 2005. That is like dinosaur age for phones, no? I’ve dropped it into a pail of water, dropped it on the floor and made its guts spilled out all over the place so many times over the years that I’ve lost count of the times when I literally had to pick up the pieces one by one and put ‘em back together.

People who know me will know how incredibly clumsy I am and how incredibly sturdy my phone is. Yes yes, you heard me right. Despite all the trauma I put it through, it is still functioning, albeit scratched and looking a little worse for wear.

I desperately need a new phone but due to my indecisiveness, I never did settled on a phone choice long enough to actually make the purchase. So the best thing would be to buy me a new one to spare me from the decision making process. *coughsatiocoughainocough*

Number 3 – A laptop. Or more specifically, the new Dell Inspiron 13.

Why? Because I do not have a laptop or a desktop! Seriously. I don’t. The laptop that I’m currently using is the family laptop that has been around since eons ago. And so, I can’t even play my Sim 3 on it FML.

The new Dell Inspiron 13 comes in very yummy colours! Black, white, pink, lime green, blue etc. And they come in Cherry Red as well!!! *faints*

It’s also equipped with Intel^® Core^TM 2 Duo processor! I am a computer noob so I don’t really know what it means except that it’ll be tons faster compared to my current laptop! Which means I might get to play my Sims 3!!11!

And because I am blind, I hate puny laptop screens whereby I can’t see anything without my glasses or contacts. So the 16:9 widescreen format is perfect! And not to mention it’s only 1.8kg. Perfect to bring to uni or to bring back home during the weekends! No need to lug my ancient one around. I swear I can gain muscles just by lugging it around the place. -_-

Plus, it’s WiFi enabled. Means I can facebook, stalk blogs, chat on msn, blog and all everywhere where there’s WiFi! In class too! xD

Number 2 – A car! Any car wtf.

No la, actually, I like Myvi. Yeah, despite it being a Perodua. But like I said, I can’t resist cute things. And I happen to think that Myvi is really cute! One of the best national cars ever made. Tons better looking than those… abominations called Juara. *shudders*

If I have a car, I wouldn’t have to walk under the hot sun to go to class anymore. Nor would I have two-toned legs. T___________T Not to mention that it’d be a thousand times more convenient to go to places like the bank or whatever. Stupid taxis here costs a bomb!

Number 1 – To go on a vacation.

I haven’t been on a vacation for so long! I need a break from all the assignments tutorials lectures! Next year I’ll be in my final year, which means it’ll probably be too hectic for me to go on a trip to anywhere.

Sigh, anyone wanna sponsor me on a holiday? I’ve never had a white Christmas.

Did you know?

Cherries are a very popular fruit – used in cooking, liqueur production, or eaten raw. They are from the same family as plums, apricots, and peaches.

When the seeds of cherries are crushed, chewed, or even slightly injured, they produce prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide). Next time you are eating cherries, remember not to suck on or chew the pip.
