Oh my Superhoneyponkans!


First day back in University, allow me to recapitulate (Oh my ponkans, this is
absolute Ton-age)

* recapitulate - a word used by our dear old Dr. Ton who taught us Cellular Metabolism last semester on almost a daily basis, at least for every time we see her.

Today.. was the absolute mother of all Superhoneyponkans, for we, the students of Food and Industrial Microbiology were horrified beyond any imaginable extent when the new unit coordinator greeted us with the same old smile coupled with her extended chin. Horror.


It was S ! That link is to refresh your memory of her. I'm lookin forward to a good semester, and I'm not bout to let her spoil it. Nuh uh, hurgh!

And, I've found some old files from last semester which I have yet to post up, since its pertinence is spot-on to today's topic...

MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

Arrow points to S' rendition of words

Whereas -> Where – ass
Cylindrical -> celitical?
Spike –> spaih
Phospholipids –> phos-fur-leepid?

“some of them got legs, some of them got TITS” she meant tails

Complete -> compete

Many additional ‘s’ after words

Intracellular -> Intra-se-lu-lar (BM baku-style)
Cohesive –> co-heh-sive (heh like in hello)
The letter ‘A’ -> ehh (sounds like Air)
Protein -> poh teen (poh as in ‘poh poh’ in Cantonese)
Standardize -> standard-stise
Okay -> Ng-khehhh (this one’s annoying)
Appropriate -> apporpiate
Complex -> compleak (like a ‘pleak’ indicating splat of shit)
Target -> tarket
Embryo -> embroy
Virulent -> something that sounds like “vehh-ren/vehlulen”
Chicken-pox -> chicken-box *bish*
Measles -> miso (soup)
Eggs virus -> Aids (HIV that is)
Temporary -> templelery
Show-up -> show up
Symptom -> sympdom
Obvious -> ogvious
Warts -> wars

A lot of infucktions

Thirty -> dirty ("in the Dirty years")

Also, not to forget some from our former champion who has since retired from the University to allow the development of 'new blood' in the institute.

Dr. C
Homologue -> homoloh
Literature -> Lichh—lichhh—lichhreeture (I can tell you're lying, cuz when you're replyin~ Stutter, stutter, Stutter, stutter")
Gene -> Jing

I find Dr. C's ones more amusing somehow =)

Valentine's '08 - Our Fourth

This is a late entry, written so I'd remember how my Valentine's went this year =)

*EDITED 25/2 - I've found a picture of Krys and her bouquet online! *Steals*

Tis small, but at least you get the picture =)

*EDIT ENDS

It was all in a hurry this year, as somebody procrastinated >_< Thank goodness for friends who are florists/have family florists =) Only thing I prepared early was my girl's bouquet of 9 roses; a combination of red, champagne and white roses nicely adorned with forget-me-nots. Thanks Rachel (Lee)!

Here's a little advertisement for my friend's family Smiley Floral & Gifts. I actually kinda like the logo >_< Compliments to their beautifully done bouquets =D

*I didn't get to get my hands on any photos of the bouquet, they're with Krys

Anyhoooo, the night before I finally panicked and started working on my girlfriend's card and bought her present by 'attending a dinner a little early so I can shop at XXX' for her present and stuff. Too bad Krys is really intelligent and guessed my help where I got her present =_= MPH 1Utama where she worked at before *smacks self silly* Got her a Sophie Kinsella title that she seems to like. Anyway, she figured where I bought it cuz of the stupid anti-theft sensor things in the book; she's seen them while working there before, grrr..

So this is how it went on Valentine's
1. Went out to pick up bouquet and got lost a while at Aman Suria *smacks head* before accomplishing it, and getting bubble tea *Krys' favourite* to greet her.
2. Hid handmade card above her seat at where passenger mirror is *held by mirror flap*
3. Wait patiently for Krys outside office. Here, dilemma hit me as it was almost time she came out, and I wanted to bring flowers down and surprise her. But, since her office's doors were glass - as was the walls around her office, I could not possibly stand around without her noticing a big bunch of flowers from the inside. gahhh, so I finally planned to put the flowers in my backseat, stand beside my car, and take it out the moment I see her coming to me =D But... while I was in the backseat adjusting the flowers, she came out, and I had to rush out, put out a hand to signify "STOP!" so I could put my head it to retrieve the 'surprise flowers'. How utterly embarrassing =_= At her seat was her pressie wrapped in her favourite 'cute beary' wrapping paper =D
4. Anyway, when she finally got up my car and settled, I brought out Mr. Bubble tea for her, much to her glee =)
5. Headed down to 1 Utama, she had no idea of where I was taking her.
6. Took her to the location of our first official date; the place we first held hands, I first put my arm around her, first seen as a couple and first couple-ish acts were done. All pure and innocent back in 2004's new year's eve, even though we admittedly have been hooked since December 23rd 2004 =)
7. You think it's kinda sweet don't you? But something had to bring a tinge of hilarity to the atmosphere, for the moment we sat down after fearing there were no tables...

Hong Kai Mun and girlfriend..


Hatiku hancur berkecai~ *cracks* they were RIGHT beside us, hahahah

hehe~

Oh well, the tables were placed so close to accommodate as many couples (to the restaurant: earn as much $) as possible that about every word uttered could be heard by the next table, but thankfully it turned out ok anyway. Kai Mun left pretty quickly, we must've walked in at a rather awkward timing *or they decided to go off some quiet place hoo hoo haa haa*

Oh yeah!

It was a rather eventful dinner I'd say, so eventful my meal erupted in flames. Alright that's was blatantly exaggerated, but my meal did catch fire after the 'decorative' piece of paper under my pasta and on the plate caught fire from the little candle in the middle of our puny table. I was dumbfounded, literally, because I really didn't expect seeing FIRE at a valentine's dinner table.

*doh*

I only reacted after a few seconds by puttin out the fire with tissue/cutlery/wtv within reach, which resulted in a very dirty table.

*sssssizles*

It was rather dumb, though hilarious, yet again. Geez. We also shared a glass of house red at Dave's, which was pretty good (I like wine REALLY chilled, nyum), and when we're finally done with our dinner-fiasco, she was pretty happy. Out for a walk around 1u and buying some lil things before I brought her home...

Ngieheheh~

8. Then.. I brought her to my room, locked the door.. and took out my....

Electric Guitar, Emma =D haha! what you thinking! *bish bish*

9.I then proceeded to set up, and played/sang her the song "I'll be" by Edwin McCain which I also learnt the night before, hence its lack of fluidity, nervousness etc. I even repeated the pre-chorus twice one time before proceeding to the chorus.. gah! Anyway, she was videoing me with her phone, and that made me more nervous, phew phew phew.. haha, it's over tho, she seems to like it or maybe she just don't wanna hurt my feelings.

10. When we were out of time, I sent her home and kissed her goodnight before she left the car, only to urgently call her back before she closes the door. Why, you ask? Remember some forgetful soul who placed a Valentine card at the passenger mirror above and clamped it tight beyond sight? Yes, precisely, I almost forgotten to give it to her, but thank goodness *phew*

11. Usual pre-sleep call/chat before retiring to bed with a smile =D

*Ackhemm, of course, there has been intentionally left out details that I'd rather filter from the blog. Even those wouldn't qualify to be rated as 18-SX anyway, just mushy enough to make you disgusted, that's all =D haha, hope your Valentine's was great too!

Still in love with~

her!

Mumbo Jumbo


Some random pictures I think are worthy of appearing here today, I have a Valentine's day post coming up, but I'll need a lil more time for that =D I'm in a bit of a hurry today to make it to the basketball court for a game of ball =)

CNY Wine Tasting Discoveries

Hello =)

Throughout the few days of CNY where I was visiting about some relatives' places and stuck being the only 20+ year old around, I've found myself a lil hobby - tasting wines since I have little or no say/interest in the conversations the >40 year olds were engrossed in. So, I've actually began to realize the subtle differences in different red wines while I tasted different bottles within the same night, the degree of sourness, spice, smoothness and after-taste. Takes a lot of playing the wine with your tongue to get a hang of it, but I'm loving wine.

Favourite wine tasted during the period: Black Opal 2006 - Just the right amount of spice and smoothness, not too smooth that it taste like you're pouring tasteless cream into your throat =) Just saw bottles of them in the supermarket for sale earlier for about RM60+ a bottle.. hmmm.. =D

A side-effect that comes with so much wine tasting (More than 6 glasses or so) with the tongue is that..


=_=" On two different ocassions.

Bumble Bees
On another note, my friends and I went for a lil CNY dinner in 1u, that new Japanese-pasta place on the same row as Dave's. No, I don't remember the name of the place, but it has a very bamboo/brown/Jap-sy looking theme, you'll be sure not to miss it. You may mistake it as a Jap-cuisine shop tho, I did when they told me to look for a 'pasta shop', which it really does NOT resemble at one glance -_-

Anyway, that night, we had the Bumble Bee Sisters joining us for dinner =D Say hello to Jac and Mich

Funky! hahaha



Left: Sister Jac trying to gain a lil bust-size advantage over our humble Sister Mich by puffing up her chest... ok ok, kidding *hides*
Right: A more decent picture at last =D

*"Bumble Bees" is a nick name I coined for their apparently "coincidental, unplanned" wardrobe malfunction colour clash; yellow and black, absolute bumblebee-ism.

Pussy Hair Cat's Whiskers

These pictures were taken on a day I went down to Damansara Perdana's Cat's Whiskers on my gf's shopping impulses after finding out the Bumble Bees were there earlier, with the place going on a (female)mind-boggling sale. Didn't get lost on that trip down, caught a few pictures of mannequins that kinda freaks my gf out *oops* hehe.. Picture waking up to see this up-close, perhaps a couple inches from your face in the dead of a quiet, chilly night.

Boo?

Oh yeah, we also bumped into the sister of a celebrity. Maggie Q's lil sister, here strolling about in Cat's Whiskers for a bargain! She really does look like Maggie too!

Here's a comparison between Maggie and her sister, Saggie, who is featured in the middle picture in an elegant red top.

*ok, "Saggie" is a name I just gave that Maggie Q-lookalike, which is by the way, a Mannequin that we saw in Cat's Whiskers. I begin to wonder who came first, Maggie or Saggie? Maybe the mannequins were modeled after the model *pardon the pun* or something.

Valentine's day Special


I'll be

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

Repeat Chorus

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

Repeat Chorus

by Edwin McCain


I dedicate this song to my one, true Valentine =) Years have passed and at times, I've been an ass, but I sure hope that we will last =)
Happy Valentine's day my dear~

2004, the year that made us~


Just to tell you readers we were not on the bed and all ALONE that time, I assure you we always had people around us in that hotel room =D hahah

Of the ex-Office and Round Things


No, round things does not involve Jaclyn, Rachel (Chee) or anyone else (me neither)


Ahh, the very welcome sight I used to face daily when I was doing data entry at the office =D Go figure XD



To my utter horror, one day I saw this at the data entry office toilet! Ants! loads of em! Either I got sweet shit or someone's diabetic.. and male *and has a bad aim tee hee*!



The #2 'tau lan' (curi tulang) place in the office; the pantry beside the toilet. My #1'll still be the toilet =D


What used to turn me off/bring me down, a table full of papers and the time nearing 5.15 T_T No more!


I didn't notice it until the second last day of work or so. Even if I did, I always thought I remembered wrong and that the company was unlikely to make such an error, and that I was just forgetful. This was until I finally decided to check in MS Word for the word "RENUMERATION" which DOES NOT EXIST, it really IS REMUNERATION as I thought it was =_= How many generations have they been photocopying the form I wonder -_-



Offered by one of my supervisors, a tangerine with a funny name. Super Honey Ponkan. Let's all have some Ponkan for the coming Lunar New Year shall we?



While eating a Ponkan with Poing, my workmate/classmate/course mate/car pool donkey, this was the scene in front us. I asked if I could put the Ponkan seeds in the peeled skin as there was no bins nearby for that. She replied snarling something like this, a lil too loud in the office, "You puttin your seeds in my skin!?" and followed by an "Owh shit that's not what I meant!". Geeez, after lunch-stupidities

My reaction to her words?

Something I made with the Nasi Lemak egg in Jelutong - Sister then copied mine (her nut eyes kept sliding off)

My family'll be hosting a CNY dinner tonight, gonna be over 30 people in my place, business expected tonight. Happy Chinese New Year in advance fellow human beans (damn, caught this bean thing from another blog). Gong Xi Fart Chai! May you receive shitloads of angpows from the relevant authorities.

May I present to you...



This is James. He's Poing's boyfriend and well, I know him through her. Charming smile, Chinese-y eyes, young and full head of hair.. The list goes on, ya know?


And now, lemme show you someone else Krystine and I saw in an issue of Female magazine (She was reading beside me in a cafe). Chinese-y eyes, charming smile, not so young and.. won't say a full head of hair right?

Making the connection yet?


I smell some fishy similarity here

*James, I just got you a "When-I-grow-old-and-bald" preview photo for you, just to prepare for the worst =D
