Music for the Dreamer

Thanks to Shen and Jac giving me some of their music (stole it off their computers), my ears have been pampered luxuriously for the past two days. First, 'El Tango del Roxanne', from Jac's list (Moulin Rouge soundtrack - I didn't watch it), gripping with intensity (and a funny gruffy voice at the beginning - which I have learnt to like). Then there's Carlos Gardel's 'Por Una Cabeza', another tango song, though this time, instrumental. I like tango =D

El Tango del Roxanne

Oh yes, even if I did get songs from Shen first, I listened to those later. And in the midst of studying in a lonely night (to add to the drama of all this), Norah Jones' voice mesmerized me to no end with her relaxed rendition of 'I'll be your baby tonight'. I picture many romantic dance scenes with this song somehow, always ending with a cliched sweet, passionate kiss. hehe

'I'll be your baby tonight'
A song to dream along to.

I thank you two ladies for the music.

Oh, so Nomantic

You're jogging with her in a path that's surrounded by trees and it's getting dark. Only the distant street lamps light the dark path ahead as you decide to get back to your ride to get home. Then something came to mind

"Oh wait, this means we gotta get back to the road where that guy warned us about earlier, keep your eyes opened, alright?"
"Ah, shit I'm bloody scared of snakes *grabs my T-shirt tightly by the sleeve*"
*man, my sleeve gonna be loose and gone by the time we get back*
.
.
*after a few enduring moments*
.
.
"Ahh, what the heck, how about this? *puts arm around her*"
"mmm.. okay, a bit better"
"yikes, you're so wet"
"you also wat"
.
.
*silence*
.
.
"I meant your shirt, damn that didn't come out right"
"yeah, shit I just realized too"
*retarded laughs fill the air as we tread back clumsily*

Everything was right, the atmosphere, the location... except the girl -_- Geez, if only I had the opportunity to substitute the girl with a GOI (girl of interest, adapted from the 'gene of interest' from Dr. Robin's lecture slides). We were both grumbling and whining about how unromantic was or it could've been, or how it could've been worst had the company been more idiotic people who would've craved for an opportunity of such. Ah, my insistence on innocence does not stop my mom from thinking something's up though, how retarded. Till I had to say to her in Cantonese "Ngo mm wui sui bei kui geh" (I will not fall at her hands), to which my mom replied "gong dou gam lan teng, jik see lei lou dao sui jor bei ngo?" (What an ugly way to put it, does that mean your dad fell at my hands?). I nodded, heaving a feigning sigh of distress =D hahaha. My sister adds in "Mom, I don't think so la, they're like sisters only" *damn, what the hell, I'm a dude* and then she went on and added cheekily to me "but then, anything can happen" hinting heavily with double eyebrow-raising.

*oh yes, she out-ran me in jogging, I can't keep up with her stamina, shit*
To save face, I challenged her
.
.
"You beat me here, but I may beat you in bed"
"damn you la, what the heck"
"shit man, what if my bed stamina's worse than my jogging stamina"
"bwahahah, just don't go advertising yourself like that or you'll never get a girlfriend"
"bleahhhh"

Help me~
Okay, go study boy!

First day, and Two down

woohoo~

Not so woohoo maybe..

Thesis submitted, one unit down

MBB paper done, another gone (yeah, I suspect this one's really 'gone', hahaha)

Two more papers for me to dig on, KOREK!

MBB (Molecular Biology) story of a procrastinator: Out of about 14 chapters, one procrastinator failed to complete three chapters in 2 days. On the final night before his exams, he had a high dose of coffee and finished the rest with time to read past year papers, though it's all jumbled in his head by the time he sat for the paper. What an idiot -_-

Next paper: 31st October

Jo Kien is...

I dunno man, what do you say?


a) a freakin intelligent asshole
b) a procrastinating asshole
c) a handsome asshole
d) a lovely asshole (with little fluffy hairs lining the perimeter)
e) just an asshole

Anyway, in my efforts to procrastinate *hint hint*, here are a few pictures Jin uploaded in facebook from our Emerge competition which I've never seen, so here goes.

Sparks takin a picture after the Mega-Emo-band took theirs, which garnered a comment from the photographer
"Wow, you guys are so different from the band before"
What we were thinking:
Tony: Okay, now I look cool.. one more bar till I sing..
Me: Okay, now we play G... G... G...
I don't even know what to say about this picture. Someone help me with a caption?

This I gotta say though, dark, blue background with red spotlight on subject makes anybody look cool. hahahaha, Emo-mode! Emode! (bah, lamer)

"I've hidden this fact for a long time.. I've decided to come clean.. I was actually born a Siamese twin"

Fine!
"You caught me at it again, I WASN'T born a Siamese twin.. I was a Siamese quadruplet, happy!?"

Damn, I really prefer research over exams. Even writing two theses would've been better than this. And I miss jammin with Sparkos. Stage time too. Bwah, we always want what we don't have/get.

I'm Life's a bitch~

Old School Monkey

.. that's what Shen labeled me for my keen sense of smell, for that's what old WORLD (she remembered it as 'old school') monkeys/apes are known for, their keen sense of smell and taste. New World apes such as ourselves are known for our sense of sight and sound. Ah well, I do tend to detect most of the female scents about anyway, not to mention smelly dudes that could be detected from a deceivingly 'safe' distance. Okay, procrastination post over, let this Old School Monkey return to work.

I'm beyond cool

Toilet Poems

This e-mail is probably old news to most of you, but I can't help it, I was a sniggering idiot when I saw it. I can't believe this, but I got this from my MOM! I'll just pick out the few good ones =D

POEMS FOUND IN TOILETS

THE 'FUTURE' IS IN YOUR HAND ,

HOLD IT GENTLY'

A budding poet trying his best...

Here I lie in stinky vapor,

Because some bastard stole the toilet paper,

Shall I lie, or shall I linger,

Or shall I be forced to use my finger?

Before he graduated to be a poet, he wrote this...

Here I sit, broken hearted

Tried to shit, but only farted

Someone who had a different experience wrote,

You're lucky you had your chance

I tried to fart,

And shit my pants!

Perhaps it's true that people find inspiration in toilets.

I came here to shit and stink,

But all I do is sit and think.

There are also people who come in for a different purpose...

Some come here to sit and think,

Some come here to shit and stink,

But I comehere to scratch my balls,

and read the bullshit on the walls....

Ministry of Environment advertisement.

We aim to please!

You aim too! Please!

Aw Yeah

Thanks, Gang! Which includes Michelle, Shim, le Bounce, Jin Seon, Amin, Tony, Amanda, Alvin, Jin and Wen Han! Whew, did I miss anyone!? For they got me...

THIS FOR MY BIRTHDAY, AWOOOOOOGA!

Must refrain from it till I'm done with exams, must okay Jo Kien, be good.

Maybe they got me that to get me distracted so they'll BEAT me in the exams!
They usually do anyway stupid -_-

Oh yeah

Top-secret post from Lab4, my first time posting from here Oh wow -_- Okay, get back to what you're meant to do staying back Jo Kien Yeah, yeah, Thesis!

"Damn, the DVD's GOOD"

Lines

Me: But gay marriages are prohibited in Malaysia.
Dude: Oh, so that's why you're migrating right?
Me: You feckin bastard -_-

grrrr...
I'm straight, dammit -_-
hahahaha

What a week

It's been late lab days for me and non-stop report chewing and paraphrasing. First paper's in eleven days, which is also about the time my thesis is due. Fugesaurus, I must work harder n faster aw yeah~ to get that thesis done so I can study for my first paper. Serious nut-licking scenario I'm going through. Not as bad as Shen's though, wish you luck there =p

"Say a lil prayer for you!"

(From a song I heard on my way to breakfast after talkin to you, very suitable, hehe)

Hope other 3rd year research warriors are doing good too =) not too good or it'd make me look bad hehe

Long day

It's been a long day and I failed to push Lee Yiung's face down on the creamy cake waiting below, for she has a neck of steel that just refuses to give way with little gentle nudges with my hand. Ah well. Too lazy to get the pictures up now, gimme time. It's been a long day with figuring that thesis and deciphering data and accounting for things, ending the day with a glass of leftover wine from the KL trip, which tastes kinda different now that it ain't chilled (hope it ain't spoilt).

Thoughts

"You'll never fill a broken flask, but you could keep pouring water in so it won't look empty"

Before I forget..

I had a relatively quiet, but blissful birthday, despite all that reports =_=

*gets into I-just-won-a-Grammy mode*

I wanna thank my mom and dad (no, really!) and everybody who's wished me today, some from abroad and others to my face =D Also, I'd like to thank my buncha lab buddies for that cheeky and literally creamy surprise they had for me today. Birthday boy + cake. You do the math -_- Thanks Shen (the depressed serial cell killer *pat pat*), Tse Yuen (the one who salam-ed me in the morning), Tajang (leaf man) and Dyanna (the one going mad with bugs), you dudes and dudettes made my day.

While I didn't exactly 'celebrate' extravagantly in any way, I did have supper at 1am (the first hour of my 21 year old-hood =D) with my parents and sister (actually, I slept past dinner, that's why) and 'rewarded' myself with ample lazy time and sleep before diving in on the report work today. Ah well, I'm Lee-gal now, what do I do? Report la, stupid.

I can totally picture Tony and Shim going "Go get laid!" with their overly happy donkey faces (with Michelle giggling and cheering in the background and Poing having a dirty look while imagining it) *_* Look what kinda impressions of yourselves you guys have left me with? hahaha

Weak Week of Death

Due Dates

Tuesday 5 pm: Plant Biotech Report 3 (22 feckin pages dammit, on time)

*YEAHS, IT'S OVER 14/10/08*

A friend from the lab's (It's NOT Tajang Jinggut) depiction of man in distress (being tied up for gay-rape)

Additionally, I should hand in my Methods & Materials + Introduction for my thesis on Monday, and my Results section on Friday. Just a self-reminder/demotivator/discipline measure. Whee, my predicted absence is explained.

*Edited: I thought MBB report 4 was due on Friday. It's not. It's due tomorrow. TOMORROW! $%^&*())*&^$#**&^%$#%^&*(

AHHHHHHH JO KIEN, FOCUS ON YOUR WORK! IT's MONDAY TOMORROW FOR GOD's SAKE!

Of Icons and Shock

It's a nice, blissful day after meeting up with old school friends for dinner and a long chat. I start to think of one of my lil shocking moments earlier today before I set out. What could it be?

I thought of two faces that represent the best of what they do; people of Iconic status. Dr. Cathy, my supervisor, pretty much represents my university when it comes to environmental sciences. Her passion in teaching and getting her environmental messages across is overwhelmingly contagious. So much so that she's probably the most popular choice when it comes to choosing a supervisor for research projects. Her units and lectures are also probably the most interesting; proven by the percentage of people who actually attend her lectures and stay awake to listen. Good, huh? The face of environmental sciences, Dr. Cathy.

Smile!

Now, we go into the next face. One of pure glamour, but also of darker things, such as drugs, alcohol and more, though he's pretty much snapped out of it and has since done much for charity and for better causes. Steven Tyler, the face of rock. A sex symbol, the 'Demon of Screamin" as he's fondly known. A mouth the size of... Nevermind, anyway, he's got a voice that blows many away (me included). I see him as the ultimate rock frontman, the best any band could probably ever wish for. The right stage attitude and vocals, aw yeah. His work will probably never be rivalled in the same way, which says much about his iconic status in the world of rock. Here, I present to you, Steven Tyler, my favouriate male vocalist.

Smile!

Doesn't it seem awfully random for me to be talking about things like that all of a sudden? Well, back to the 'Shock' part of the post. As I was saying, I had some funny epiphany earlier today. I received an e-mail from an Aerosmith fan site, which had a picture of Tyler, showing off one of his trademark smiles. That's when I notice...

"Oh Shit..."
.
.
.
"He looks... so..."
.
.
.

"I gotta confirm this, I refuse to believe..."

Achin buns

that's what a lil exercise (badminton last night, swimming the day before + wii) gives a worn out ol' 20 year old such as myself. Ol' geezer I'm growin into already, sheesh

Anyway, an interesting thing happened at the Shell station I got my petrol from today. As I was filling up my petrol, one of the foreign worker dudes there came by my car, looking me straight in the eye with a slightly coy smile and leaned his elbow a lil on my car boot *gulp*

Dude: Apa khabar?
Me: baik, khabar baik.
Dude: Baik ya? *continues looking with coy smile*
Me: Yeah, baik *smiles back and busies self with filling tank*
Dude: *fumbles with words* You Malay?
Me: No, Chinese (-_-)
Dude: Ohhh, Cina.. You... *gestures to face* good *thumbs up* (he thinks I'm handsome)
Me: Oh, hahaah, thank you =D
Dude: Chinese... *gestures to eyes* small... You *gestures to eyes again* big.. Good *smile smile*
Me: hehe, yeah, thanks
Dude: Chinese *gestures to eyebrows* little. You... a lot
Me: hehe, yeah, I don't know why too

At this point, Tajang who left uni with me appeared and called out to me from the next filling station. Thank goodness, I was feeling awkward already >_< Maybe the dude meant well, but the way he continuously gives me that coy smile and his feminine posture and demeanour just kinda makes me feel he's trying to attract me, which obviously didn't work. Anyway, I went on to speak to Tajang relating to him what just happened discreetly as he guffawed away talking bout his 'cockmeat sandwiches' (yeap, again) before I got back to my car and left before the attendant got back to me (he had to attend to another customer). Phew, one of those days. Why don't I get pretty girls doing that to me? damn
