The Light at the End of the Tunnel......

It's approximately 4.22am now, and let me recap the long night that I had. At 8pm , I had emailed my boss (recap: boss = supervisor) to ask him when he was going for his holiday, as I remembered that he told me about it on our last meeting about a month ago. A few hours later, he replied me, saying this:

I'm leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks.....

Oh great!! I thought I still had a chance if I were to send it immediately to him on that same day, and so I emailed him to see whether he will still be willing to read it. Of course, such a simple email will take him hours to reply, so I took my chances and started writing it.

After 4 hrs later, I've almost finished my results column, and he replies me, saying that he can't read it. Jerk. Never mind, I thought, I'll just send it to someone else. In the meantime, I've almost finished my results, might as well complete it.

And completed it I did.

NOW I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (except the editing part of course)

And I need my sleep!!

A brave new world for graduates...

Today's the day that the UOL results were released (finally). I can personally relate to those graduating this year as well as those just simply waiting for the results; you know its around this time that the results come out but you dunno when!! So stressful!! And when you know its released, its like a jackhammer just suddenly hits your head and releases a ton of adrenaline into your body!! hahaha!!!! Nevertheless, congrats to all who had graduated!! All the best to taking a new step into the new corporate world where we'll sacrifice 1/3 of our lives slaving and working under the corporations whose main aim is profits XD Nah, I'm just joking!! I'm also waiting to start work myself, so all the best to us then!!

Gary: It's not the end of the world. So slack larr :) SO when's Nando's anyways ?? XD
HL: Congrats man!! You're our newest member in the club that probably has the most members from the UOL!! Dun worry, not everyone can join this club even if they wanted to man ;)
PL: Congrats with your results!! Hope you're doing well in the U.S. and hope to see you soon in November!!! :D

Dun really know the other's results, but congrats again anyways!!

I WANT MY PESTO!!!!

Where in KL do they sell pesto!?!?!?!?!

I've been back to KL for almost a month now, and one of the things that I miss most from London is the pesto!!


The bowl of goo on the bottom right of the picture above is pesto.





Yes, it might look like puke,like the pasta above, but its healthy and it totally ownz with every kind of pasta ever imaginable!! The only place that I ever came across that sells pasta with pesto sauce is at Delicious at Bangsar Village, but at Rm15.90 a plate, it's hella expensive for a vegetarian pasta!!

So pls, ANYONE!!! If you do know where pesto is sold, just tell me where it is in the comments, and u'll be greatly rewarded in the Land of the 72 virgins in the future!! XD

BBQ Party!! and some other Meaningless Reports...

Yup, I've just finished writing it and have sent it to MY who'll post it up in her blog with pics!! Those who wanna read it can internet it @ laumaye.blogspot.com

Dun think it's necessary to post the same report in 2 blogs, so I'll not do so.





Ok, i'm just lazy!! XD


And I'm clueless as to how to fabricate more baseless theories and factors for my results section of my dissertation. Maybe getting high might help : /

w00t!! had lunch with basically the whole gang today at KinKin. Now everyone has agreed for a game of badminton for 2 hrs every Saturday, since everybody is so weight-conscious now. But if everyone's so weight-conscious, why did a some of them have 2 bowls of pan mee?! A riddle that remains unsolved....

And gotten conned to Batu Caves this time by Thean to collect something . No complaints this time, he was driving. We were mighty impressed by the amount of 4x4 off-roaders near the area, which Thean claims were 'the only mode of transportation to get to his arnaments warehouse, somewhere in the mountains near Genting'. Utter crap. Hopefully he won't take us to some ulu place like Port Klang next time.

....wait, he HAD taken us to Port Klang b4. Bitch XD

Dissertations & Constellations

Bah, had just lost a huge chunk of what I was gonna blog, so here goes nothing, again.....




I have been really busy these past 2 weeks on writing up my dissertation. I know, many of you are thinking, "you still have so much time!! slack la!!" But thats not the point. I have to finish it before September 15th, my self-imposed deadline. Two reasons for this; I need to send it back by courier, and who knows how long that might take. Tentatively I have FedEx on my mind, mainly because my dad has an account there and they're reliable. But they MIGHT pull off a 'Castaway' problem....




Second reason!! Our "son" Dennis is coming back to KL on the 16th!! So have to pooi him until he goes back to London on the 30th!!, Haha yea I know he has other 'friends', but its better to keep a clean timetable to spend more time with him, muahaha!!




Back to the dissertation. Have spent about 10 days (including weekends!! :/) to write up my intro and literature review. Its quite hard cos you have to quote so many previous studies in your work, and u have to make sure that you can't leave any stone unturned!! Grrr... sooo frustrating!! But I finished it and sent it straight away to my 'boss' (supervisor). Got the reply yesterday, and he seems quite happy with it!! Cool, now I have more confidence with writing my results :). Yup, have finished the methodology section as well in 2 days. I think it's a rushed job, but I need to let ppl review it before I send it to my "boss" for a final review. Good luck to me!!




Suddenly got this huge interest in horology, or at least, their physical end-product side. Why?? Cos my sis studies at KPD and everytime I dropped and fetched, I'm bound to see this HUGE GIGANTIC advert with Brad Pitt and his Tag Heuer Carrera, which is sooo beautiful!! The power of advertising indeed. Now after going through a few sites on expensive watches, and giving note to my incredibly light wallet *sniff*, I finally decided on an Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar!!




Ok, it's steel and not those tauke businessman gold, but it's nice!! Its got a 60 month of kinetic energy storage so theres no such thing as batteries anymore!! and another thing, it also has a smaller 'sister'!! So, maybe both of us can complete the set muahahahaha!!



Anyways, there's still a LONG way to go (unless I win the lottery or something) before I see this watch everyday on my wrist..haha, such wonderful daydreams!!!
And reality sets in. Am off to write my results now.

Update: Perpetual Calendar is not seen in any watch shops. Constellation is now priced at RM5,800 after the petty 20% discount is included. Thats probably about 6 months of savings, minus-ing all the other miscellaneous stuffs from my take-home pay. Perhaps I need to search harder.....

Buy one lunch, free 1 trip to Puchong

Usually when friends call me out for lunch, we just go to the restaurant, have a meal, talk cock and leave. That's probably what everyone does. But when my friend Thean calls us out for lunch, something's definitely up. Yup, today was no exception when he called me and Andrew out for lunch. I bought the reason of 'Boss in Penang' and agreed for lunch. Then, when I got into the car, I saw Thean's workbag and some documents, my mind was going 'Fuck, I think I've being setup'.

I was right. Thean had to go get some sample at a client's (thats wat Thean usually calls his 'customers') in fucking Puchong. And as a reward, we get to see his new place in Puchong. Problem was, it was the other end of Puchong. While I must admit that the place was a cool 1.5million well spent, but it's location was shit and it's quite isolated. Sure, you get the peace away from noisy Puchong, but it's still isolated and far!! But nvm, he'll only move in about a year and a half's time from now, so at least I'll STILL get to see him now....lol....
