Elephanty Phanty Phanty

Hah...... Woke up today to a fine breezy day. :)

A little something to add to my hyper-state. I received a felt elephant stuffie from dropkicktims. It was a prize for a contest she ran a few months ago. :D To enter, each person had to guess the number of origami stars in a photo she took. The person who guessed the nearest to the real number gets a stuffed elephant the colour of her choice. :)

Sho CUTE!!!! @.@ :D *smooches~* And everything is hand-stitched.

*Oh~* I'm in love~

WHOOPEE~!

Haih... Actually, I'd typed an entry yesterday, but somehow, blogger's pic-uploading service was down for the whole yesterday and most of today. So, I didn't save the entry la.

I'm back home in Sibu now! And using my home computer! *Muah~*

Ok, just a short excerpt of what I did yesterday after the final exam paper. I teman'ed my friend Jui Jien on the LRT journey to Plaza Rakyat, then I headed to KLCC via Masjid Jamek. Will miss you Jui Jien. One whole month no see you. T-T

On my shopping spree, as usual, I made my way to Kinokuniya first. Was extremely excited when I saw this CRAFT magazine, published in the US, on the magazine rack. My heart just skipped a beat. Ooh! I thought this exclusive mag would never make it's way to Malaysia. But I was proved wrong then and there. :D I managed to snatch up the last copy! Yayeee!

There are countless of seriously neat craft projects in there - how to make wire-wrapped pendants, how to knit a kimono (I'll have to learn knitting first :P), re-using and revamping old stuff, printing and image-transferring to T-shirts, etc etc etc. It's a really good exposure of the modern Western DIY community! :D

And I've been waiting for this to arrive in the stores. It's a Mi Sup Jepun (Japanese Soup Noodles). :D Can anything get kawaii-er than this? :D

Ok. It's 5 minutes past midnight already. I reached home at about 9 something. The house was in semi-drakness. I hollered to my sis on the second floor - "Wei! Kai men ah. Kuai dien." - meaning, "Open the door la. Faster." She heard me from her opened window and said "O!"

My sis opened the door with her cheeky smile. :D I explored the corners of the house - opened every container, flip through book and magazine and pamphlet, went snooping about every nook, played the piano for a while, check my belongings on the old computer table, check for new issues of Reader's Digest, peek into the storeroom, surveyed the mounting pile of newpapers, turn on the TV and flip through a few channels.

In the midst of stuffing myself with the contents of a newly-opened container of fruit chips (starfruit, pineapple, bananas, grapefruit), my mum arrived home from her Teachers'' Union Dinner. Went to open her car door and said "Halo Ma!" while holding the chips container. My mum said "Yew chi!" - meaning, "Eat again!".

:D

But she said I've grown thinner. A bit. Well, thinner anyway than when the last time I was back the CNY hols. :D I said aiyo.... where got. I study break 3 weeks, every day sit at the study table. Only move when I want to eat and go jogging. I can even feel the fat on my face wobble. *OMGosh that is seriously FAT la!* Ok, but during the exam week, at least I toned down my junk food intake, so maybe that helped a bit on slimming la. *Ahem~*

The 3 of us talked and talked and laughed and laughed for an hour, while I scavanged the cupboards for more food. *Please don't be horrified. I memang like that. I like to see what are in store around the house* And typical Mum-Sis shopping is sufficient to make the house look like the food section of any supermarket - stuffed FULL with foodstuffs! :D

My dad came back at around 10.30. He was on a business trip to Kuching this morning. :)

Finally, I'm home. :) And I'm thankful and glad to be. :)

Puffy Days.....

Yes..... Puffy days are coming to an end.... And I'm celebrating three days earlier with puffy clouds...

Actually, I shouldn't be doing such things yet. But I always rejoice earlier than I should. There's still one last paper - Physical Pharmacy - the hardest of them all. T-T

This morning's Pharmaceutics paper kan*sai one la. Celaka betul. 40 MCQs (multiple choice qeustions) 99.999% about drug formulation. Who cares whether enemas are 100ml or 1000ml?

Where are the real questions? Electrical double layer? Total potential energy of interaction? Flocculation deflocculation systems? Suspension emulsion stabilities/unstabilities? I spent the whole night bullying my brain into refreshing it's memory on these supposedly vital topics. Not one question on them came out. Walau EH!!!!! And the SAQs (short answer questions) are just ..... I don't know what to say already la. But at least, they didn't ask anything like - "Why did you take the B. of Pharmacy course in IMU?"

And I haven't told you about the Hematology paper we sat for on Tuesday. WHO CARES ABOUT WHERE LEUKOCYTES ARE PRODUCED LAH!!?? Not one question about drugs came out. NOT ONE WORR!!! We are pharmacy students ok, in case you haven't noticed. We are supposed to know our drugs. You are supposed to test our understanding on that, and not ask us to list the sites of production of each of the leukocytes - neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. We all know that they are produced by the kidneys, ok? Satisfied? *In case you're wondering, I do know the RBCs abd WBCs and platelets are produced in the BM. I didn't study bio for 12 years without at least knowing something so kacang ok. What were the people setting the exam questions thinking. Haih...*.

I'm beginning to doubt whether I've chosen the right course.....

Ok la... Sorry for the above explosions. I'm just puffed out by the stupid exams.

Yet another pair of kawaii for your hair, if you've had bad hair days, not just a bad hair day, like me.

I haven't listed the clouds yet. Listed. Please click on the pictures to view their respective listings. Am still testing to find out the best time to list on Etsy, because it affects sales. If by chance someone looking to splurge come across my listings on Time Machine 2, I'll be ever so happy. :D

Can't wait to get back home for the holidays. My mind is bursting with ideas on more crafting stuff already. I can't wait to get to work on them. T-T
