I'm beginning to think that I'm almost back to the estranged phase of mine when I was in KL, having my industrial training. Remember how I mentioned that at some point of the time, I just excluded myself from the chatter and keep by myself at one corner, dealing with my own stuffs, whatever it is. I think that phase is slowly creeping back as I find myself less and less interested in their daily chatter. Am I weird? I think some of them do think so.
I just get tired easily these days and get bored easily too that I can't be bothered by their talks. I know, I'm the only one who's weird now. Still...I just can't seem to include myself into their conversations. they are selected few which I find I can easily talk to, few whom I would kinda avoid because I know somewhere along the line if we do talk, there's gonna be some awkward moments where we'd find ourselves having very different opinions to. I'm not talking sense here. Forget it.
hot Spring!

yup yup...so we went to Sungai Klah, Perak Hot Spring this morning at around 8 am. >.> I was drowsy the whole way there in the bus that was friggin cold! The journey took almost 2 1/2 hrs, but when we got there, we were in pretty high spirits xD
So after paying the entrance fees and hearing some briefings from the people who maintain the area, we moved together from one spot to another. There were several areas, the main hot spring with water around 30-40 degrees...then there's one spot where we can boil eggs or clamps or prawns, you name it...and we did! They took two trays of eggs over and we boiled them there at the source of the hot spring which goes up to 90-100 degrees. ^_^
I'd have taken some piccies but I'm using my Nokia phone and not SE, thus...no pictures this time around. And yeah...the eggs are yummy. I never knew hardboiled eggs can be as good as that, without any additional sauce or salt. The yolk especially was sweet!
After that we had lunch at the cafe...and then we head back. Of course, we've taken samples la...from various spots. The temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and also some water samples and algae.
we spent about an hour in the lab back here to process them. See if anything grows on the medium...so yeah, that means we don't have to go to lab tomorrow! I'm free again this weekend! Woohoo!

these past few weeks had been kinda hectic for me. I've been waking up around 7 sth every morning and in the process, I never fail to wake my roommate too as I get up from bed in the dark, opening the door to the bathroom and changing. Well, it can't be helped. I hope she doesn't mind.
Well, I've been trying to rush my project which at one point gave me such a huge headache. The last two weeks especially when I tried to do this one step, over and over again and it doesn't friggin work! And then, one day I asked for my senior's opinion on why it doesn't work, she offered to help me with it. Coz that weekend itself she's doing the same step so well, yeah...>.< It really helps when you actually have someone around to help or at least try to think of the problem and solve it. I am truly truly grateful to have such a good senior, I mean, the first few steps wouldn't have gone so smoothly without her teaching us and explaining some stuffs to us along the way. So it's a great help.
I hope before CNY I can finish this project but that might be unlikely if the next step doesn't work. So I sincerely HOPE and PRAY that it'll just pass by smoothly. I seriously want to graduate T_T Also by early April we need to hand in the fully done thesis already. I'm still in the writing process. And I HAVE to finish by March to have it checked by my supervisor.
Back to the hectic life, it had been an 8-5 pm basis for me these past few days. For the first time in my life here that I come back to my room, totally worn out and didn't even feel like watching anything! I mean, dramas and movies! None! I think I've made it a point in the past few posts that one of my fav past time is to just lay back and watch shows from my laptop and eating stuffs...in front of it, maybe gain couple of pounds but still gladly doing it.
Now....I don't even feel like doing anything anymore but go to sleep or just not think about anything. It's tiring. But it needs to be done so...yeah gotta endure it anyway.
And I think I've made up my mind about the whole furthering studies thing. This could be one of the toughest choice in my entire life that I have to make. It's always been laid out for you either by the system or your parents. Going to tuitions last time during my school days had been my parent's decision and I just tagged along with it. I cruised by 11 yrs of school life, plus 1 1/2 tortorous and most probably one of my darkest days in Form 6. Yes, believe it or not, I didn't enjoy one bit of my F6. And then, the whole getting entry into local universities. Putting 8 choices into a piece of paper wasn't that hard. I mean, it kinda hurts of course when you don't get what u wanted initially but then, somehow my 7th choice (believe it or not) got the bullseye and here I am, finishing my last semester of my 3 yrs degree course.
And I just might continue staying here for the next couple of years. I've been asking a lot of ppl's opinions and I know it all comes down to me by the end of the day. So I've made my choice. although....I'm still wondering which project to undertake lolz...
One will be more convenient coz it'll be in the same lab I'm working in now. And I'm already familiar with all the things there, the seniors etc...and I can take the daily bus service to the lab.
Another is outside my university, it's just basically outside like opposite the road. I've been there la..for a visit but it's not the same lab I guess. It's called the Malaysia Genomic Institute or MGI. IF I were to do my work there, I'll try to get my own car or sth. Having ur own transport is just much much more convenient. You don't have to wait for bus or try to plan ur time whether or not you should go back at 4pm or 4.30pm coz the bus comes every 30 mins. Maybe a small Kancil or Kelisa will do the trick hehe xDD
I haven't driven for like 3 yrs. It's rusty, no doubt. But yeah...I heard my friends say that MGI has more Chinese though. That is a plus for me la...coz I might be able to communicate better with them? Maybe? I don't know...I'll be ALONE in the lab and being the only chinese kinda intimidates me. I don't mean to like say anything or make a point here, I mean, the seniors there are helpful, well...I know mine is and she's always trying to help if she can (only if I ask for her help la lolz) and there are few who are friendly, few maybe not so...but still ok. But I'm not entirely comfortable being the only one left out later. You know...it's like they have their own topic and I just don't seem to fit in their circle. Ok, I'm babbling now I should stop.
I have this field trip tomorrow to uh...some place called Sungai Klang, Perak Hot Spring to take some samples for my Environmental Microbiology class and then analyze the next day (Saturday) >.> Sigh....
Pardon the long post. It's been kinda quiet for a while that I think I need to just pour some stuffs out. I'm gona hit the bed soon...eyes are droopy already.

Can Johnny get any creepier that this? The red frizzy hair, heavy white makeup, bright red lips, and notice how his middle teeth has a gap? I bet it's done on purpose lol >.<So the video will be set in the woods! Not bad! The dark streak is back! The song is not something that catches you in an instant but it does kinda grow on me when I play in on repeat. Still, I'm more excited for her own album really. ^_^
But this will do for now, considering it's been 2 and a half years ago since her last album. It's always good to hear new stuffs. I remember when Don't Tell Me was released, and leaked before that and people are going crazy over it, her fans la...but I was more into My Happy Ending especially the acoustic versions she performed with Evan during the mall promotions. And then, there was Keep Holding On which caught me by surprise coz I remembered listening it by chance in the car on the way to the vet---> coz we were bringing our dog over for the usual checkups. And like, I had no idea she had a song for that Eragon movie and it is being released that time....I think I wasn't really catching up on her news then. So yeah, it's just...things that catch you by surprise (pleasant ones of course) is always good.The line's really slow damn!

So the single's (not her album's though, it's the Alice OST) being premiered like...half an hour ago in the US radio, presented by Avril herself.
Written solely by herself (playing piano at home) and produced by Butch Walker. As I'm typing this, I'm listening to it. Despite the uh..pretty medium quality since it's a radio rip, it starts with this...heavy piano chords, and it's got this whole dark vibe to it. I mean, the moment it hits with the low notes, it just reminds me of Johnny Depp, i don't know why! lolz...
Anyway back to the song, after a period of time of not listening to fresh Avril's voice, this is good. Like, really good. she begins with this low *almost husky* vocal, then the hits the high notes in the second line. Looks like she's tuned up her notes. The way she sings kinda reminds me of how Alanis would sing her songs though, some parts.
I prefer the verses though. More than the chorus. The chorus is ...idk, not exactly that catchy. But the theme is still the same as any of her other songs, just about staying strong, surviving the odds as she belts out " I'll get by...I...I'll survive..." etc...
I can sorta see the direction she's going to this time. It's definitely not fast or pop/punkish anymore. No more Girlfriend lingering around! Which is good!
Also, she doesn't seem to use much background music too like heavy guitars, it's just her with the piano, and some drums. One thing that sticks out the most is that she's more focused on her vocals this time. Seriously, I can't wait for the album. It's out in June, which is...really really long but heck, at least next week Monday I'll get to watch Alice's video. And March shouldn't be long too, her own single's coming out. I think it's called " Everybody Hurts". She's back to her roots. not exactly UMS type. UMS is really dark and rockish, I'm thinking this is more...like in the middle. Yeah, well...i hope she does really mature lolz.
anyways, before I hit the bed...the single's not bad! The video should be pretty awesome too, some dark background story I suppose. I'm gonna go to sleep with this song xDD

Omg, I slept like a pig this afternoon from 1pm till around 5. Must be the sleepless night before. Good thing it is a Sunday. This weekend doesn't feel like a weekend for me. For once, I actually wanted it be over quick Maybe coz I just need to work things out for my fyp >.<
Anyways, I just finished Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. He's awesome. there is similarity of course between his character and sherlock, just the way he acted them out. Love him in both. Though I actually prefered him in Iron Man. Holmes was a bit ...out.
My floor's bathroom has a blocked drainage which looks yucky when you see all the dirt spurting out from the hole. don't get me wrong, it's not the toilets or shower rooms. It's the outside part where we wash our clothes. yeah...still, the water won't go away, so it's slightly flooded. I hope they come and get it fixed real soon. I don't even feel like washing my clothes anymore at the sight of the water clogged there.
so yeah, had a dinner of a cup of milo and biscuits. And 3 pieces of After Eight chocolates mints. I might have a go with some Pringles later xDD
Now, I'm currently trying to update my thesis report. I just finished 90% of my assignment on the History of Fermentation Technology this morning, before the nap. It shouldn't be called a nap actually since I practically slept the whole afternoon. I'll be having trouble sleeping tonight again.
Seriously, I'm thinking I'm really having some insomnia problems these past week. I tried sleeping early. it just won't work. I'd be lying on my bed, with my mind racing fast for no good reason. I just want to have a friggin good sleep!
That's all for updates now. What am I anticipating in the next few weeks?
1. for my fyp to advance, more smoothly. Like....desperately.
2. Avril's new single...and video, that comes without saying.
3. Valentine's Day. Actually, not for the romance. It's just THE day one of my most anticipated movie will be released internationally. I wonder if it's gonna show in the cinemas. because, if it does, then I'll go catch it at MBO. Well, by then, i'd be home xD
4. .....lastly, I just need some new clothes for cny. lolz...still no progress on that, sad but true. it's just not on the top of my list now.
Here's to hoping I can catch few hours of sleep tonight.

Cute they are. I finished The Men Who Stare at Goats which is a pretty bizarre film. It's like there isn't a main theme in it, we have a man who's a journalist trying to prove his ex-wife wrong that he can do so much more than just sitting around in an office. So he went to war...well, not exactly fight, there to cover the story and who he met along the way?
None other than Lyn Cassidy who apparently was a member of the New Earth Soldier thingy....created by this man called Bill a while ago and they practiced super powers. Yes, well...the moment super powers are mentioned, I decided this movie should not be taken seriously.
It works if you think of it as just you know, a movie you watch over dinner or lunch or free time, when u have nth better to do.
There is a number of laughable matter in it, but somehow, I can't find anything much connecting the goats to the whole plot. Are they trying to save the goats? What is their mission? I know they have this power to stare at goats and make their hearts stop, just like that, in a snap. The links? I think it's missing the bridge...>.<
Nevertheless, it's not bad, not for everyone though.
