Hair and an Animation

December 04, 2009 | Published in , , | 6 comments

Hi from the dark side

Here's a photo of me with my new bangs (well, they're a couple of weeks old now but I'm not very good at keeping up with the times anymore)



...And an animation I made for my biomedical imaging project. In case your curious mind wonders what I spend time on. This is like, a video in a video.



Good Morning Mr Policeman

October 26, 2009 | Published in , , | 2 comments

I woke up extra early this Monday morning to finish off some homework at the library with a few groupmates. Same old crap, different day. So I hopped on to my bike and rolled down the hill, past the usual red STOP sign (without having stopped), and also past a cop car who flagged me down instantaneously.

Yeah, the same rules that apply to cars apply to bikes too.

How I know. In Malaysia everything works a little differently i.e. you can openly bribe cops, jump red lights, jay walk freely, cut queues, talk on the handphone, etc.

I said I didn't have a Californian driver's licence and that I'd only been here a month, to which he replied, "Wow your English is very good". $10 he doesn't know where Malaysia is. He let me go after an uneventful 5 minutes of me just standing there on the steep hill holding my bike looking extremely bored. "Okay, well, I don't usually issue tickets to bikes and I'm just concerned for your safety because a lot of people get knocked down at this corner".

This scenario may be compared and contrasted with a previous encounter I had with a polis some 3 years ago in KL. He caught me for speeding at 92km/h on a 80km/h highway. I argued that I had exams and was very stressed and didn't look at my speed limit and called him "Uncle" out of respect. I also slipped him RM20 - no more, no less (the going rate is about Rm50 for a Merc) because I didn't have anything else in my wallet and I was clearly a probationary driver.

I miss home!

To add to my Monday morning blues, I overzealously overwaxed my upper lip on Saturday night and the scars are beginning to show. A part of my face resembles a moon crater.

ETA: I fell off my bike and bruised my hip. YAY MONDAY!

The Chicken and the Egg

September 04, 2009 | Published in | 0 comments

R and I had a 5 minute debate on what came first: the chicken or the egg.

We both concluded simultaneously that the egg must've come first. The theory of evolution says it all: the chicken cannot possibly have come first because pterodactyls (or whatever it is chickens came from) can't simply morph into chickens overnight. So by simple logical deduction, the egg came first. QED!

i want to be a panda

August 18, 2009 | Published in , | 0 comments

We were talking about the following photo today over the wonder that is MSN -


- and I said I wanted a pet panda after staring at the delightfully fuzzy thing. Mind you, I am hardly into furry miniscule creatures and slobbering animals, unlike most other girls I know; I am a coffee-drinking, alt-rock-listening, platform-loving sort of person.

Anyway, he suggested colouring a chow chow black and white so that it could potentially look like a panda.

We then proceeded to name this potential panda-dog Zoe for reasons only we can laugh about until the day we die.

ETA: Some people have already done it (the panda-dog thing) and gotten slammed!

I think I've temporarily lost my ability to stay awake in the evenings, hence the spastic short posts and random pictures. Return soon.

Get up at 6, out the door at 6.35, lunch at 12, back in office by 2, back home by 7.

In any case, it beats doing nothing for the summer. I am also feeling rather deprived as most of my possessions are somewhere at sea. I want my excess of clothes now. Whine, whine, whine.

The haze in town is crazy horrendous! Tree huggers, quick, do something about these people instead of harassing the general public about wasting paper!

Lassi Madness

Upon tasting some sweet lassi, my insane tired friend Nuri goes:

"It tastes sweet"

Upon tasting some mango lassi, my still insane tired friend Nuri goes:

"It tastes like mango"
