Of Meh Lays and what nots

I was watching a programme on Discovery Travel & Living channel yesterday. It was called Bizzare Foods: Asia. I didn't find the host, Chef Andrew, good though. One thing is that he didn't really know how to taste the food and also failed to get names of certain things wrong. I'll only comment on the part where he went to Penang, Malaysia.
A few things he said which was, well....you'll get the picture once you read them:
He pronounced Malay as Meh Lay.....what's up with that?
Ikan bilis became Eye Can Bilis....sheesh, get your pronunciation right, dude.
He said that belacan is nasty looking.....Nooooooo, it isn't!
Peking duck=Pay King Duck?!
Coagulated pigs blood is the most unpleasent thing. Yeah right, don't eat lah.

Well, my English lecturer didn't go ballistic today. *phew*

The week

Boy...what a week! A hectic one it was. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this week would be better than the last. I'm dreading tomorrow's English class. Who knows how ballistic my English lecturer is gonna be tomorrow. Should I not go? Haha....unlike me to skip class unless I'm sick. Oh well.

Had a haircut on Friday. My mum went with me and my hair style was practically to make my mum happy. My mum kept telling the guy cutting my hair that I (ME?! I don't wanna look like a guy!) wanted it shorter when it was actually her who couldn't stand my hair being long. The guy looked like he was thinking, "Wah, this girl cannot think for herself one!"

I've been sneezing non-stop today. Is there someone talking bad behind my back?! Haha...I'm not supuerstitious.

!@#$%$#@!^&^&*^

I HAVE GOT A CRAZY ENGLISH LECTURER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She just nhad to ruin my (and the whole class's) day. I think being a PhD holder has taken a toll on her sanity. I LOATHE her! Another 7 more weeks with her. Don't know how I'll be able to tahan it.

I'm darn sleepy. Slept at 5 a.m. and woke up at 6.30 a.m. the same day, no thanks to my group mate who did not have the sense to follow instructions. I've got a presentation tomorrow. And I need SLEEP!!!!!

Good night!

An unsuspected thunder

Whoa. An unsuspected thunder! Scary~~~~
Rained real heavy just now. Sounds like it's gonna rain again.

And I'm supposed to be doing my assignments. What am I doing online then??? I feel so lazy. That's how one feels when one wakes up at 12p.m. Hahaha.

Wanna share some videos I uploaded a while ago.

Chicken Little Trailer - Very CUTE!
The Numa Numa dance, that's what some people call it.



A clip from Little Britain - Extremely HILARIOUS!
From Series 1 Episode 1. Listen to the riddle (cracks me up everytime I watch it).

Eh???

My mum just told me that my sister's friend saw me yesterday in college and that she smiled at me but I did not smile back (she said I was looking in her direction). To be honest, I DIDN'T see her. I guess my brain must've been half asleep or the scope of my vision has narrowed to, maybe, 90°. She should've came in front of me and waved into my face. That way, I would have noticed that she was there. So people, you know what to do if for some reason I'm looking in your direction but don't seem to know you're there. Just come in front of me and wave INTO my face.

Congrats Liesl, for getting straight As in your UPSR exam!

Jia Ying, I know you don't read my blog, but I just wanna say, I'm sorry to hear that your grandmother passed away.

Just wanna share a GIF I made not too long ago (my soompi avatar). Hey Rach, cute or not? I saw the screensaver, didn't download it, though.

Canggih.....

Hah! My college seems to be on the way to canggihness. New mouses (mice) in the CITC and optical ones! First they upgraded the computers in the CITC to Windows 2000 and then put wireless access around the college, which unfortunately, doens't have good connection, especially in the library. Now this. I wonder when they're gonna change the computers in the library which are super old. Soon I hope. Or we'll keep getting corrupted files whenever we use it to save stuff.

Another blood doantion drive in college, another 450ml of blood gone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I LOVE donating blood.

Yet again!

Great! My Internet connection just died on me, yet again. I had to switch on the other computer to check the ruddy router settings. I found out it was the router's filters that were blocking my notebook from accessing the Internet. It just has to ONLY block mine. Why? I don't know. I am seeking to find out why. I had to disable the filters so that I could access the Internet once again. I hope this will not happen again but I doubt that it won't happen again. *sigh*

Some photos

Just wanna share some photos

A grapefruit (my second one in all my life, so far). Given by my mum's friend. Must've been expensive.





























A picture of my mum, who is computer illiterate.

Feeling really tired. I finally got my 1st eight-hours sleep for the week. *Yawn*.
Now my head is buzzing with assignments, assignments and more assignments. A feel of college life for you people who think it's a breeze being in college. Bleh! It ain't, not when your other group members depend on you too much especially for English.

A funny thing I heard from my friend the other day. He said he his group members celebrate after finishing an assignment. Wow, these people sure have lots of money to spend. Imagine how many celebrations they hae each semester? I've never heard of such a thing.

Just the other day my Internet connection died on me, only on me but not by siblings. Why of all computers it had to be mine? I quote (boka, soompi) an explanation of what (might have) happened:
"computers are crazy things, sometimes they like to change their own settings... your computer probably has a particular address that it likes to use when in a network, whereas the other computers on the network might not care what address they use and can use any address dynamically assigned to them by the router... i.e. when you turned your comp off or rebooted, the router somehow thought your computer had moved out of the address and let one of the other computers in so when your computer came back, it couldn't get in..."
Thanks to my brother for reserving an IP address for my computer, now I can use the Internet again.
