Yowie's 2 cents

Monday, 16 June 2008

  • "panic" button: ACTIVATED!

    You know good ol' Yowie is pushing the "panic" button when he says, "STRESS GILER BABI SIAL!!!!"

    I always believe that I AM MY OWN ENEMY... I'm waging war against myself!!! I hope I win!

    My battle cries:

    1. "Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death" - Anonymous

    2. "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve" - Napoleon Hill

    3. "You must not only aim right, but draw the bow with all your might" - Henry David Thoreau

    4. "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do" - Epictetus

    And my favourite!

    5. "Yowie, pls shut the hell up! Stop sulking! Be ready. Go in there with all guns blazing! Get the bloody job done and get the hell out with your head held high knowing that you've given your best!!! - Yowie

    SEMANGAT NIH!!!!!!!! Panas!! Stress!!! Worried!!! Emo!!!!

    To those sitting for exams, like me, ALL THE BEST!!! BERSEMANGAT WUY! Especially to my Ms. Si Tao Por and Ms. "Ouch I cut my finger with a butter knive" Singapore! Hahahaha :P Not forgetting, Glyniss, Maggie and Kuan Ming!

    To those dah habis exam, think of me, pray for me!!!

    IT HAS BEGUN!!!!! *grrrrrrrrrrr and recites war cry!*

    P/s: I'll be MIA (missing in action) till Friday.

  • k-r-a-z-y!

    Ah! Some"ONE" *wink* had complained / buat kecoh besar about my constant blogging about Marie. OK FINE! To please this "avid" or rather occasional, ok no, maybe RARE reader, I'll take a rest and will resume worshiping Marie when this rare reader goes off to Brisbane or balik Singapore!! HaHAHAHAHAHA!

    Aiyo... I just found out that "Ms. Hammy" didn't know or realised that I dedicated my previous post to her. I was so upset *berdrama, lol!* that I threatened to DELETE IT! Hahaha! Must I use your REAL name, Ms Hammy? Haha!

    Nah, I was joking! You know I wouldn't do so.... hehe...

    Ms. Si Tao Por asked me a very trivial question... A non-Medical Microbiological one...

    My official answer in MMA language:

    After a couple of months of culturing, maybe it's time to run a screening test. Of course I hope that the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) is high enough!! But this is beyond my control! At this stage, can get a 40 - 50% positive result pun I dah happy! *think MMA, Hahaha* Hehe... "MESTI LAA BALIK!!!!". Kalo tak balik, menyesal!

    Two days till I declare war! Not exactly thrilled about it but we gotta do what we gotta do! And this time we'll do it RIGHT!!! Right, girls??? :)

    My other housemate, Eunice, sat for her one and ONLY exam this noon. She came back smiling and jumping for joy around the house. Hmmph... Hopefully I can do that next Friday! Hmmph...

    As promised, no Marie today... *sigh* Boo hoo....

    HOWEVER, being Yowie, again I managed to find a song that best reflects me. This song was released in 2000 and I STILL LOVE THIS SONG! I know, I know... It's teeny-bopper... But heck! Back in 2000 I was a TEEN! Form 3, siot! Haha!

    Chorus Giler Tepat!!!

    Crazy For This Girl - Evan & Jaron
    She rolls the window down 
    And she talks over the sound of the cars that pass us by
    And I don't know why but she's changed my mind

    Would you look at her as she looks at me
    She's got me thinking about her constantly
    but she don't know how I feel

    And as she carries on without a doubt
    I wonder if she's figured it out
    I'm crazy for this girl
    Yeah
    I'm crazy for this girl

    She was the one to hold me the night the sky fell down
    And what was I thinking when the world didn't end
    Why didn't I know what I know now

    Would you look at her as she looks at me
    She's got me thinking about her constantly
    but she don't know how I feel

    And as she carries on without a doubt
    I wonder if she's figured it out
    I'm crazy for this girl
    Yeah
    I'm crazy for this girl

    And right now
    Face to face
    All my fears pushed aside
    And right now I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you

    Would you look at her as she looks at me
    She's got me thinking about her constantly
    but she don't know how I feel

    And as she carries on without a doubt
    I wonder if she's figured it out
    I'm crazy for this girl
    I'm crazy for this girl

    Would you look at her as she looks at me
    She's got me thinking about her constantly
    but she don't know how I feel

    And as she carries on without a doubt
    I wonder if she's figured it out
    I'm crazy for this girl
    Yeah
    I'm crazy for this girl

    P/s: It's 2.3 degrees out here... Brr... *shivers*

  • better off (NOT!) alone

    Lynette said something funny or BERSEMANGAT (if you're in my shoes, HAHAHA!) on Wednesday... She said she can see me getting a MIXED awek aka awek kacuk gf in the future. Maybe it's Marié *wink* Who knows?? Hahaha! I then proceeded to pour cold water on myself. I told myself to dream on and told Lynette to ask me this question 5 years later .

    I know I've posted this youtube video before but I just can't get/ listen enough to this song!!!

    Better Off Alone - Marié Digby

    I was naive not to let you go when the time was right
    I was a fool living in a dream that I thought could last
    But I know that you will try to prove me wrong
    But it's what I've got to do
    I think you're mistaken, I'm sorry to say
    I'm really just a loser who's getting in your way
    I think you've forgotten, all of your plans
    See you never meant to be here
    And I think you should know
    You're better off alone

    And it's clear to me that everything has changed
    Cuz nothing that we do feels the same any more
    And I'll admit, I'll take the blame
    Maybe we just moved too fast
    And how could expect something like this to last
    And I know that you will try and prove me wrong
    But it's what I gotta do
    I think you're mistaken, I'm sorry to say
    I'm really just a loser who's getting in your way
    I think you've forgotten all of your plans
    See you never meant to be here and I think you should know
    You're better off alone

    You and I, we were standing watching us fall apart
    So let me go and move along
    I think you're mistaken, I'm sorry to say
    I'm really just a loser who's getting in your way
    I think you've forgotten all of your plans
    See I never meant to be here and I think you should know
    You're better off alone

    Alone alone alone alone alone
    Alone alone alone alone alone
    Alone alone alone alone alone
    Oh, you're better off alone

    I think you're mistaken, I'm sorry to say
    I'm really just a loser, you're better off alone

    Better off alone

    NO! I'M NOT EMO OK!!! I like the melody (esp the piano part) and the lyrics. I genuinely like the song and also 愛しています, Marié. あなたはとてもかわいい . Tee Hee hee.

    And Of course I'm NOT "BETTER OFF ALONE"... *chuckles*

    There's an angel watching over me (well, I would like to think so!)... *no laa, she's not the awek kacuk, no need awek kacuk actually, this angel is better!!*

    愛しています, Angel???

    P/s: I don't know at all if my Japanese is "GRAMMATICALLY" correctly or not. Pardon me if it's wrong. Hehe... Rileks ar... Give me some credit for trying :p

  • I dreamt of Poster Girls...

    Disclaimer: Quite a lot of pictures ahead!!!


    I love Fridays! Cos my system simply REFUSES to work on Fridays! Went to see my supervisor at 11am to borak kosong, crap with Joseph at the library's Learning Hub, went to Hudson's for coffee with MY GANG (lol!!! if they read my blog, I'm dead meat!) Lynette, Nurul, Joel and Ain, my turn to cook dinner and now baking banana cake. In a nutshell: I touched my notes but I didn't read them (guilty pleasure!). Haha! TAK SESUAI BETUL INI PERANGAI!!!! lol!!!

    Everyone did a GOOD job!! Considering that this is our first time doing a professional scientific Case Study Poster. The last time I did a poster was when I was in high school ke apa. Haha. If I had to choose 5, I'll say I like Ivy's, Lynette's, Rachael's, Robbie's and Annalise's poster. I failed to get shots of Robbie's and Annalise's. Darn it! It was my bad... I cam-whored too many times with our posters and left hastily cos we wanted to dig into the finger foods served!! As Lynette said, "We're Asians!!". HAHAHAHA! *just kidding *

    As promised...



    Ivy's poster on G-6-PD. I actually wrote down the following comment for Steve's poster feedback thingy: "Good use of "feminine" colour". Haha! The pink she used was not the HOT PINK garang (fierce) type but PINK COMEL (cute) type... Haha! Lucky I ada baca her poster, a question on it came out in the PROFESSIONAL exit exam siut!! Terima kasih, Ivy cyg! Oh ya, I have to credit our course mate, Ma Le for snapping the blood film pic for Ivy. Nanti dia marah...



    Lynette's Breast Tumour poster.....

    Ok... *Choi infinity!!* That sounds SO WRONG!! I'll rephrase it: Lynette's poster on Breast Tumour!

    Ah! Baru betul! Kureng! I love the fact that she used the Pink Ribbon! That had reinforced the poster's main theme! The pictures of the tumour are also GREAT! Very graphic!



    How cun is this?! I've not seen a breast mastectomy before. According to the poster, the tumour was underneath and it was measured at 7.5cm X 7cm X 6cm. Thick sial!!



    The proud "artist" and her masterpiece! This pose reminds me of Vanna White of Wheel of Fortune! Haha!



    Ivy looks like a tourist posing with posters/arts from the science center or art gallery! LOL!!! The SLING bag REINFORCED the touristy look! Haha  You know I still cayang u kan? Hahaha! 



    I joined in the fun! Haha. SIBUK!!!



    I like Rachael's poster!! Actually I like the case a lot! Hehe. Ok... ok... I'm BIASED! I love Blood Transfusion! *lalalala* Hehe! Rachael cun ah.... hehe!! Keji!



    :) Yours truly's Dengue Fever poster! Number 7! This number means a lot to all Man United supporters! Hehe...



    The "artist" gives his thumb up to his masterpiece! *bangga dengan perasaan tak tau malu* Haha!!



    Ah! I was still in a daze! It hasn't sunk in... yet She's one of the lab representatives.



    Congratulations and well done to Ms Rachael (Best Overall Biomedical Science Student Year 2008) & Mr. Ng (Best Case Presentation).



    Yeay! I would like to thank Dr. Remesh Kumar (UKM), Dr. Richmond Loh (Perth), soon-to-be Dr. Dinesh, Diana  , Felicia & Gribbles Malaysia for their guidance and advice in the design and scientific/medical contents of this poster. Diana! Dah berjaya!! Kekeke! I ingat lagi kata- kata you!



    Robbie!!!   



    Kawan rapat & ketat istimewa... LOL! Semakin panjang titlenya!

        

    These two girls are my pillars of strength!! Thanks for the support, advice and undivided love!!  

    Teruk betul... We cam whore kao kao sama that paper. LOL!!!

    Right... The presentation! I'm ok when I'm not in the spotlight. However, when the spotllight shines, public speaking becomes my public enemy. My case presentation wasn't great and for sure it didn't make the top 5! BUT! I'm proud and satisfied because I presented without a script for the first time ever and for the first time ever I felt comfortable up there! Hehe... This was a really good exposure and training for me From the feedback session, I was told that I may have spoken too fast and that my average mark was about 7.5/10. I'm glad that I've improved. It only improves with practice. With all due respect, I thought Annalise presented her case very well and I admire her professionalism!!!!

    Nonetheless, kita angkut 2/3 titles! Caya laa! Lynette said it well, "Asian Pride!". However, Ivy took it further and said it even better: "MALAYSIA BOLEH!" *tersangat bangga* . "KDU Boleh!" pulak mcm mana???!! Siapa nak laung? Hehe! We wished Cherlyn, Carmen and the rest of the KDU gang were here!!



    The next time you step into the doorway of 5, Esprey St., REMEMBER to:

    "Look LEFT!!!"

    Hehe!!

  • I live, breathe & I'm Back....!!!

    From skema-land!!!!! LOL! I'll be lepaking on earth for about a week or so then I'm speeding off to planet skema-land again. A lot had taken place in the last few days! Busy and skema giler babi!! I had to prepare for a presentation (will cerita next time) and a Biomedical Science PROFESSIONAL benchmarking EXIT exam... Fuiyo! The word "Professional" added some UMMPH to the exam. The exam covers what I've studied from year 1 till year 3.5!!! Memang ada UMMPH, siut! LOL!

    After exam and presentation feedback, Lynette, Nurul and I went to McD to makan. Ada ajak Ivy but she "busy" hehehe. I saw this video clip and heard the song. I didn't pay much attention cos it was sang by a young cute (from a girl's point of view, not mine) blonde teeny bopper by the name of Jesse McCartney (the boy/man who sang Beautiful Soul). *Felicia, if you're reading. I know you LIKE right!! Haha * One of the lines of the chorus was :

    "Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help"

    I immediately stopped chomping my Big Mac and looked at the screen and listen to the song intently.

    Jesse McCartney - Because You Live

    Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
    It's the end of the world in my mind
    Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
    I've been looking for the answer
    Somewhere
    I couldn't see that it was right there
    But now I know what I didn't know

    Because you live and breathe
    Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
    Because you live, girl
    My world has twice as many stars in the sky

    It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
    Cuz of you, made it through every storm
    What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
    I'm so glad I found an angel

    Someone
    Who was there when all my hopes fell
    I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

    Because you live and breathe
    Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
    Because you live, girl
    My world has twice as many stars in the sky
    Because you live, I live

    Because you live there's a reason why
    I carry on when I lose the fight
    I want to give what you've given me always

    Because you live and breathe
    Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
    Because you live, girl
    My world has twice as many stars in the sky

    Because you live and breathe
    Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
    Because you live, girl
    My world has everything I need to survive

    Because you live, I live, I live


    Best & Jiwang giler the lyrics right?? I got through all the keji assignments, tests and stress because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help *sings*. I'm undecided! I like all the lines in the lyrics! Tepat! It's exactly what I wanna say ......... . Hmmph, susah. Masalah tiada daya penarik *sigh*  One sided??? Oh well.... I dunno...

    I'm proud to announce that I finally got a WAKE UP CALL this semester! The new level of confidence is just NICE to boost me psychologically & mentally. BUT I'm definitely not OVER confident. I'm not god, just a mere mortal. I still need to walk the talk and not only talk the talk.

    Well, of course my other kawan rapat istimewa have a share in this and I appreciate it. BUT it's pretty darn amazing that someone you just knew can click and inspire you so well. And that someone don't know that they're doing it... Thank you, Si Angel! Haha... Angel here, does not refer to Marie Digby ok... In lala-land yes but in reality, this someone is better and I prefer this someone... . Ok ok... DAH! Moving on to the next topic/ conclusion!

    I promise to put up some pics tomorrow! I wanna share my POSTER with the world!! Hehe... I put a lot of effort in it. It's nothing great, not a masterpiece BUT I still bangga with my work . Besides mine, I'll put up several other worthy (more cun than mine) posters. There's a function at the School of Human Life Sciences tomorrow night. This gives me a chance to cam whore (WHAT THE HELL!!?? haha) with Ivy & Lynette and maybe with some minah salleh as well. HAHA!

    P/s: To whom it may concern ("si tao por" :P). Maybe you're just having a bad patch these few days. You did your VERY VERY best. You and I know that you've been slogging for it.  The good thing is a BAD PATCH don't last long IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO! Selagi keputusan tak keluar, selagi tu you have HOPE . Continue with what you're doing and deal with it BRAVELY when the time comes...

  • Marié updates!!

    I would like to extend my sincere welcome to Seki to the Marié sect!!! Seki had also made Marié his goddess after reading my post .

    Marié first video clip, Say It Again, was released a week ago!! WOO HOOO!!!!!! I viewed the video the very day it premiered *proud*. If my memory serves me right, the count stood at 10 000+ viewers the day I viewed. Today, the count SOARED to 493 450!!!!  :) Ok ok... I admit, I myself had viewed it close to 30 + times. Hehe...

    She's sooooooooo beautiful in this video!  

    A few days before the video made its debut, Marié did a LIVE showcase on the internet at Deep Rock Drive. You also get to interact with Marié. Since, I missed her mini concert back home, I told myself that "I CAN'T MISS THIS ONE, ALRIGHT!!". And I didn't. I woke up at 7.30 am (Tassie time) to watch the concert!!! *woo hoo!!* She sang her new songs too! I LOVE ALL OF THEM because I can relate to them!! I enjoyed every second of it!!! She's really talented, funny and beautiful!!! Aww...

    The Deep Rock Drive concert! Hehe... The whole concert was uploaded wuy. Check them out under the "related video" section!

    She speaks fluent Japanese!!!

    If you've watched the videos above, Marié said she reads blogs!!! And she'll leave comments wuy!! I'll try my luck again. So, here goes:

    "Marié, if you're reading this, please say hi . Thank you for making good music. I think you're super talented and very beautiful... All the best in your already SOARING music career :) Rock on, Marié!!! Lots of love from me ... "

    Null hypothesis: Yowie will not thrash the computer even if it does NOT prove what he WANTED it to prove!*

    Alternative hypothesis: Yowie will thrash the computer even if it DOES prove what he WANTED it to prove!*

    The probability now stands at P= 0.049. Just give me another 2 hours.... And I'll raise the P by 0.002.* Then I can go all crazy, smashing it! Haha!

    Computer and SPSS... Ready or not.... here i come....
