Satisfaction

I've just gotten back all my assignments and reports just now.

I'm very satisfied with my marks for both SCI 2010 and MBB assignments.

On the other hand, I'm very unsatisfied (or rather) very disappointed with my GEN 3040 report marks. Blame MK for her indetailled and not-lengthy-enough report. I've requested for resubmission, hope it will be granted.

So, what's satisfaction?

It's like in a real hot day, and you buy a cold bottle of Coke. Then you twist the cap open, take a big gulp of it down your throw and then..

*burp*

That's what I call satisfaction...

Or after a real tiring day of studying, pamper yourself with this as dinner

Despite the long day, the study progress, the coke and the dinner is the satisfaction.

All you can see is a smile on my face.

That's how satisfaction works..

Codependence

"Codependence is a disease which involves the being's emotional defense system being dysfunctional to the extent that it breaks our hearts and destroys our ability to Love and be Loved, wounds our souls by denying us access to our Spiritual Self, and scrambles our minds so thoroughly that it causes our minds to become our own worst enemies"

My friend suddenly sent me this over MSN and she's facing this right now.

Reading this profound definition while finding out more bout this definition here makes me ponder. Am I suffering from this psychological symptom as well?

*meneliti diri*

Lots of thoughts have been running through my mind lately.

I have issues. Tell me bout it. Not really issues, but yeah, issues.

I don't get it why people always look at things at the superficial level and straight jumping into conclusion and play jury. Can't they just look into the deep fascia for just once? And enjoy the process of knowing and understanding.

It's as if one reads the first line of a story book and then jump straight to the last paragraph of the book and believe that whatever they'd conceived in their mind based on what they read or rather assuming that their own make-out-story-plot is correct.

Or as if one wanted to experiment on something. By reading the title or the introduction of the research, one would already make a hypothesis for that experiment and without doing the experiment, one already assumed that their hypothesis is right and start concluding the experiment without even going through the procedure and discuss bout it. Does that make you a good scientist?

Sometimes I just feel like running away. To a whole new place, with new people and new environment and let people know me deep fascia-ly. And not digging out some silly past experiences and share it around with people just to shake gauge my friendship and closeness with others.

Not forgetting the stressfulcrazypressurizedununderstanableandunmemorizable units I'm facing for my finals exam. Ugh.

Just 7 days more, OMG!

I can't wait for camp. And anticipating a lot and want to just give my all to Him.. till, some news just broke in. And I'm quite let down by something. But I'm sure if that's what He wants, I will surrender

Chinese Name

I like my chinese name


Min Qi (Mun K), scribbled with my touch pad using handwriting tool on MSN


I can't read or write Chinese except for my own name.

Sometimes when people asked for my name in Chinese, I would quickly take out my mobile phone and dengan hao-lian (action), I will change the settings to Chinese and start typing my name with help in pinyin. Then I will show them.

"Whoa, a very nice name!"

"Of course la, grandpa gave one ma"


The first character of this name meant smart; quick; active. Not so accurate describing me, yeah, maybe the "active" word there meant "noisy" la. Aww.. they were just being nice.

and the latter character meant beautiful, silk. Beautiful? LOL. Yeah right!

Some would tell me that this name is so girl-ly. Yeala, I'm so not up to this name. Haha!

---

Was on MSN with someone bout her chinese name. She even conceived the meaning to her Chinese name wrongly all these while and disliked it for no apparent reason.

It's a beautiful name I must say.

As I was looking for real meaning to her Chinese name, I found this site which I find it super uber funny. I mean, the translated English names.

I didn't know Tom Cruise's surname in Chinese is pronounced as a "chair" in Malay by some Chinese folks who can't pronounce their Rs nicely. Eeww. And Mel Gibson? LOL

It's so cool to have Chinese name eh? I love mine.

So do you know what your name means?

Went for a Japanese Style Steamboat Buffet yesterday with 1/2 The Gang namely Jean Nee, Yik Wooi, May Jean and her sis May Kim (sp?).

We dined at Bandar Puteri, Puchong branch. There are other branches in other places but this branch was said to be the 'famous' one.

With merely RM 25, one can eat all you want here and there are great variety of food.

The special part bout eating in Shabu Shabu is that you'll get a steamboat set ALL FOR YOURSELF. I mean each will have their own pot of soup and you can throw in whatever food you want from the conveyor.

The food are fresh here. Take a look at the colour of the sliced pork below

The Gang was so greedy that even before the soup boils, we already chose our food, take them out from the conveyor and place them aside. Haha!

Slush grape (plus abit of slush orange top)

The RM25 is a per entry thingy that entitles you for all the food as well as drinks. The drinks offered there was slush grape, slush orange, hot green tea as well as sky juices. Pick any drinks you want and refill as you wish.

Now take a look at my squids. Or mini octopus? Haha! It's fresh and juicy, don't need to be cooked. It's like those teriyaki-styled. I took about 3 of it? Goshh~

They have all sorts of balls there and my personal favourite would be the ham ball.

I've a feeling that the level of bad cholesterol in Jean Nee and I have increased tremendously after this meal. Thanks to the amount of shrimp we consumed. Right, Jean? But, they are the tastiest amongst all. Irresistible.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Note the colour of my soup. This is somewhere after 1/2 hour of my meal.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

And this is the end colour after countless shrimps were added. The soup was so viscous in the end that they tasted soooo salty (natural sea salt flavour) along with the strong shrimp taste.

Ah-hah!

Now I know the secret into making prawn-mee soup!

Saw the high tower of containers?

That is how much we ate. Ohh wait, this is NOT ALL. The rest of the containers have already been cleared by the workers there occasionally.

Now that explains my title. And this meal lasted me till the following day's dinner, that is till just now laa. I didn't even eat breakfast or lunch, I was THAT full.

People, it's worth trying. Not all the time la, can die of eating. Haha!

Can ring me for directions there. Do give it a try and enjoy!

Malacca Trip

Was in Malacca with Aivy and others during this Hari Raya weekend. Valerie organised this trip and she did a great job I must say. Thanks Val!

We neither visited any historical places nor their parks/zoo/whateveryoucallthem.

Then what else can we do in Malacca?

Cadeaver is cool!



WARNING:
This post is not meant for faint hearted people. It is okay if you don't feel comfortable and leave this post unread.

The following conversation took place last Saturday morning..

mk: Cadeaver is cool!

vy: Who is that? I just woke up

mk: dead body.


So cute right? She thought its "someone" by the name of Cadeaver as if I'm saying 'Tom is cool' or 'Jerry is cool'.

So, Cadeaver is cool!

Yeah, we were given the privilege to visit the Medical Faculty of UKM.

The group was too huge, so we were split into 2 groups and take turn to get into the dissection hall. So, my group was led to the Anatomy Museum first.

*yawns*

It's a place full of dissected limbs, embalmed and preserved in formalin for studies purposed.

In our body, supposedly the nerves and blood supplies are of same colour. In order to differentiate them for studies purposes, the nerves were painted in yellow while the arteries were painted in red. But they are REAL nerves and arteries behind these paint coatings. Take note of the skin, its reaaal! Haha!

I wonder how many souls are in this museum. LOL. Alright, jokes aside.

You would never know how an influence you may be to people around you.

I have this bad habit of moving my hands when I talked, especially last year. And Sue-Li who was always with me tend to be influenced with the movements as well. So when you see us both talk, you might laugh. I don't do that much now.

Last year as well, I tend to "Jeng Jeng Jeng" alot, all in a sudden when I drive home from school. It's either that or I'll call out Shi Yan or Sue-Li's name all in a sudden, for no reason. That's the sampat (nonsensical) part of me. And sometimes, I do hear Sue-Li or Shi Yan jeng-ing all in a sudden too. That's what you call influence. It's not a good influence. Ironically, it's not a bad one neither.

I do play the acoustic guitar for children church, youth church as well as Sunday service. Not very good though.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Sometimes after playing for the Children Church, I would stay back to help out at the nursery class when it's my turn. After the teaching session, the children were given materials to colour. There was once, I took out my guitar and started playing the children song and sang. Whole class sang with me and there's this little boy, he would sit still and look at me.

I gave him my guitar pick, let him simply strum as I pressed the chords for him while singing. He was a little shy but he said he's inspired to be a guitarist like me when he grows up. By the way, he's just 5 years old.

The following week, he brought a toy guitar along with him when he came for Children Church. He made his grandma buy him a guitar right after that. He showed me.

Zhu Tong (the little boy) with his toy guitar

He wouldn't allow anyone to touch his toy guitar except me. So I pretended to play with his little guitar. He would sit wherever I sit and go wherever I go. And wherever I lean my guitar against the wall, there he would leave his else well. So cute right?

Kids can be easily influenced. So people, when you have kids at home (cousins, siblings or anyone), be sure that you are of good example. Kids observe and they are easily inspired and influenced =)

Thank You, Jesus!

I was saying that I was so not prepared for my exam in my previous post and that I'm going to sit for my exam by faith and His grace, right?

I drew some random diagrams as I flipped through my notes

summarizing the entire long grandma story into a diagram with simple notes along with labellings.

Oh, and I drew this, which was supposed to be the heart

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
the heart

and I don't know why the outcome somehow looks more like a thanksgiving turkey to me.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I ain't artistic. Or else I wouldn't end up in Science, right? I would fail if I'm in the other field, I ain't good (neither I'm good in science)

Anyway, I proudly showed my thanksgiving turkey drawing to my fellow friends to give them a good laugh. And you wouldn't believe it, this exact thing that I drew in this A4 paper came out as one whole 10 marks question (8.325% of my finals result). I truly could not thank Him enough.

But I guess the thanksgiving turkey I drew in the exam paper was uglier. Nevermind.

Met an accident (again?) on the way home from school last night. It was my lane's green light when a Merz dashed out from another road (he thought there isn't car and his traffic was red). My car was badly damaged.

And I survived!

Both airbags came out and saved my heart and lungs. I was sent to the hospital for x-ray and there were no fractured bones. I thank God.

I was practically looking at the x-ray and started naming each every bones there, counting my ribs... identifying mediasternum, clavicle, ribs, intercoastal cartilage...

Oh no! This is what Anatomy does to you when you had exam earlier on, the same day.

The doctor said my chest muscles got compressed and that explains the mild pain and slight difficulty in breathing. I was about to double check with him if it was the Pectoralis Major and Serratus Anterior muscle. Gosh! What in the world?

Anyway, I seriously truly really superbly wanna thank God for my life and my exam

Faith is fuel

My car's petrol light was already blinking end of last week. I thought it would be okay since I was on holiday and do not really go out. Everytime I go out, I forgot to get money from mom to pump it and whenever I got home, I totally forgot bout the no-petrol-thingy until the following time when I get into the car.

The same thing happened till I was asked to go and pick Mun Wah from the KTM station at Teluk Gadung just now. After picking her, the car slowed down a lot and so I swerved to the side of the road.

*swerving the car to the side slowly*

"Jie ah, don't press brake edi. Just drive to the nearest petrol station"

*right foot still at the accelerator*

"I didn't brake laa"

That was it. I restart the engine again. The car tried pressing on, I know it did but he gave up before he reaches the petrol station.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The so-near-yet-so-far-petrol kiosk

The car is exhausted, burned out and needed fuel to move on.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

And when it was replenished with fuel, the car felt fresh again. The car starts serving again and continue to bless others with transportation.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The same goes to our Christian life. Our life is like the car, we need fuel input.

Christian life without faith is like a car without petrol. It serves no purpose. I'm sure you've heard this many many times. Mun Wah said that statement doesn't sound so real to her till today's incident, where we were so helpless, where the car could move no more.

I thank God for the walking-distance kiosk and not stranded in the middle of the highway or something. So people, start feeding yourself with His words and practice your faith. With the littlest faith you have, when you use it, it will grow bigger. So, keep practising it till it can move a mountain! =)

Be blessed.
