Badminton!

was kinda fun!

I never knew it was that fun playing badminton, maybe because I've never really played. hahaha, but I actually did a lot better than I expected to (though high balls still get on my nerves), which is encouraging for me to continue playing! I did get a scare of another ankle sprain with that awkward land, and a scare for a bad neck pull, but both turned out okay in a minute or two, which is very relieving to know =D heheh

By the way, despite her friendly teddy bear appearance, Amanda's a formidable opponent when it comes to badminton, she practically 'took my breath away' (out of breath) when I played with her >_<

Last night

It's 2.12am and I'm typing while playing chor dai di with the dudes (and losing - wait, I just won a game where Tony failed to throw a card, yippee). Our lil vacation's coming to an end, even if it doesn't sound very impressive having a lil holiday in KL when we pretty much live in the city. hahah

Ah well, it's been real fun just with all the company and retardity we all have in common (which they somehow accuse me of having most sometimes). Tomorrow onwards (just lost a game), it's gonna be finishing my work (reports reports thesis etc etc backside -_-).

Watashiwa love wine

And it's the same ol' familiar feeling going on this time around in THIS vacation where I end up texting vacation updates to someone texting me back HER vacation updates =D hahaha, we love vacations, don't we, Shen? Start bringing on the facial creases after this holiday, hoo ha~

I'm supposed to be stoned

but I'm not =D

Wine, makes me happy. I'm with bout eleven other people who thinks that I'm pissed drunk but I'm typing this probably faster than most of them could muster at the moment =D hehe, ah well, the retard in me released upon stimulation by the right sexy kinda alcohol that I call wine =D ah well, I'm happy at least, and I think I made everyone else happy too (they're laughing at me, how embarrassingly funny) They playin the Wii, and I'm still drinking wine. Ah well.. see ya guys around, life in a KL apartment sure feels cosy when you have another 11 or so people around you, friends especially, hooo rey =D It's my mid-semester "break" (4 reports due right after the stupid 'break', bahhh)

Rant-em/Random

Should I, finish this shit and get some sleep?
hell was ready once my foot got in it
excellence evades the weak-minded
nevertheless, I'll try to sneak and find it

I'm feeling kinda tired
maybe I'll just go to sleep
it's due today, don't be silly
should've started earlier
should've backed up sturdier

Yeah,
only my laziness to blame,
unto me be the onus to tidy this up

Hey dude

Hey dude,
don't eat the cat,
I'll give you 5 dongs, and make you fatter,
Remember, to shove it into your arse,
then you can fart, and make him tatter

Hey dude, get yourself laid.
You were made to, be the defender.
Don't geddit, he barged himself real deep in,
Oh what a sin, you gay-ed it together.

Just a sudden urge to change the lyrics to 'Hey Jude' by Beatles (may you all rest in peace in your graves and not roll around like distressed bugs, for those who have passed, that is). Major misfortune today, my thumbdrive decided to screw around with me and made one of my assignment files (my entire introduction) corrupted, unrecoverable. Ah well, rewrote it, took me long enough, now time to finish another 1.7k words, whee -_-

Gayest Terms Often Used in the Research Lab, where Sausage-fests are not Unusual
Cockmeat Sandwich

Football analogies to describe homosexual males: Defenders (same one used in the lyrics above), Strikers and the newest; MIDFIELDERS (Go figure)

Hey x (replace 'x' with whoever you're talking to), you've been a bad boy lately... *does the I'm-tied-up-and-helpless-&-he's-gonna-rape-my-ass expression*

This lab needs more omnipresent females to dilute this gayness.

Cryin'

Just when I finished hearing out the rhythm parts for the song Cryin' by Aerosmith, (it's play-and-sing friendly, yay) my favourite semi-translucent, thin, white nylon pick goes missing (can't they make it coloured? -_-) again.

A suitable screenshot from the vide-ow bel-ow

Bleahhhh~ let's see, I have white-ish bedsheets, tables, carpets etc. This ain't gonna be fun.

Now listen,
All I want is someone I can't resist.
I know, all I, need to know by the way that I got kissed.

I was cryin' when I met you,
now I'm tryin' to forget you.
Your love is sweet, misery.

I was cryin' just to get you,
now I'm dyin to let you,
do what you do, down on me.

It's down on me,
Yeah I got to tell you one thing,
It's been on my mind,
Girl I gotta say,
We're partners in crime,
You got that certain something,
What you give to me,
Takes my breath away.
Now the word out on the street,
Is the devil's in your kiss,
If our, love goes, up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist.

Blood Drive!

Finally! They accepted me! my blood anyway.

The last time I tried to donate blood, I went through bout 20 minutes etc of filling in forms and waiting my turn before being turned down at the second last stop because I'd been having a cough at that time =( This time around though, I was actually feeling exceptionally fresh and well that day! So, nothing went wrong and my body successfully squirted 400 ml of that Sangria Juice to fill a lil bag of O-type blood.

This was fresh from draining, when I was lying there having some post-ejaculatory 'sensitive time'.

And, I accidentally dropped the cotton wool >_< Like good ol' vampies bit my hand by mistake.

On an unrelated note, the day night before I went on the Cameron's trip (last post), my car tyre actually popped, I don't even know when it happened but it seems a nail got in and slowly deflated my poor front left tyre while I left the car parked in the.. free 'jungle' parking area in campus. Gotta thank Tajang for helping me change my tyre and sending me back to my car after dinner, or I'd be walking to a nasty surprise alone in a place that's abysmally dark at night. Picture me changing my tyre in the dark all alone, maybe using my handphone's light, brrrr. Coinci-not-so-lucky-dentally, Dyanna's car battery died the previous day and Tajang was once again Mr. Rescue for bringing her to the mechanic etc to get the new battery (she left her lights on by accident). I helped in that one too. Geez, two car 'misfortunes' in two days, we were kinda projecting Tajang's car to get something the following day *sentuh kayu* but thankfully, nothing cropped up =D Thanks Tajangus not for all the lab-time gay antics

Tyre-change process lit my Tajang's car lights

Sometime last week I had lunch with my family near my mom's office, at a place called Screaming Bananas, which is a kinda cool place offering local and western food at a pretty reasonable price considering their setting and atmosphere. It's got two floors, though the upper floor closed after 2pm (after lunch time). I like the food, the place and THE LOGO =D

How could you NOT like it!? Picture stolen from the menu.

I like creamy-sauced pasta with mushrooms. Yum.

Before I go..

It's not a butt, it's my elbow (which I surprised Poing with in an MMS) =D

Fieldtrip to Genting Highlands (20th September)

Field trip to get Lee Yiung's pitcher plant samples for her third year project
Supervisor: Dr. Charles
Main Researcher: Lee Yiung
Liability Assistant: Jo Kien

Picture speak a thousand words.. each. So, this is a freakin long post.

Mr. funny stag-beatle, never seen one with such a funky coloured carapace. I initially thought it was dead and dried, until it moved. It was probably as big as.. hmmm.. A small laptop mouse?

Moss

Grandma pitcher; wrinkly and old (How evil of me)
A different type of leaf-borer from what I saw in Crop Science.
At work they were.
New desktop wallpaper :p
According to Dr. Charles, this happens to leaves when wasps lay eggs within them and they start growing. Nasty eh?
Ant-moss or something
Unopened pitcher plant. According to Dr. Charles (again), people use its fluids, which are still sterile, to clean their eyes. Amazing eh? Make sure it's closed though, don't want maggots on your eyes (maggots are a common find in the opened ones)
Shit, Dr. Charles explained this but I forgot. Skip.
Amazing discovery by Jo Kien, the frog-conformation growth adapted by this particular species of fern.
It's not a catterpilar.
Juniors! (compare with finger size)
Lichen/moss/algae? Lichen I'd think.
Limestone-ish formation at the side of the hill, pretty.
Closing in.

Abandoned teddy bear in the forest vicinity, suspected to be left there by stray dogs (which by the way, stopped Lee Yiung and Dr. Charles from getting samples from the highest parts of the hill their last time)

Pitcher's Paradise; A pitcher plant afficionado's wet dream. Just at the slope by the side of the road down Genting.
Try counting. Don't get ideas of harvesting though.
The view from up there; with them two walking down to get stuff while I enjoy myself up there.


hehe, this is what I see in the picture. Like some kinda Organic Wall.E

That thing down there, ain't its tail; it's part of the plant. I was confused too.
Algae can look cool too =D
Road-side ornamental plant at the base of Pitcher's Paradise.

Then, we went down to the lowlands. Boohoo. At a site where I found oily deposits on the floor.

Like this
The hidden number plate.
Some coniferous lil guy?
The one.
Go ahead, count em.
Flower of a pitcher plant (lowland species).

Close up from the top.
Closer up at one lil flower at the bottom.
Creepy camouflagers, count em. hehe
Mini ones.

Two diligent scientists working on a desolate place.

Things I've learnt from the trip
1. There are so freaking a lot of pitcher plants around, but they're still rather endangered.
2. I've actually been very close to them before while I travel, just never noticed them.
3. I was of no little use during the trip.
4. Ferns are nasty when they grow tall and you have to tread through them.
5. Fern spores are suspected to be carcinogenic.
6. We had to trudge through shoulder-height (my shoulder la) ferns to get to some samples.
7. When expecting to trudge through such nasty ferns, wear jeans or long pants, for they will scratch your legs.
8. Stuff about the peat layers up in the highlands, which I plan to further an Honours project on next year =D
